Better than being a two-pump chump.
Some would have you believe that chaos is the natural current of the universe; we see the logic. Chaos expands the boundaries of space. Chaos created the necessity for agriculture. And chaos gives you flat tires when you're trying to get from A to B. The Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HP Pump doesn't care if these events are interwoven effects of a butterfly flapping its wings in Paraguay or not. Its very existence is predicated upon rounding out the cosmic playing field, and restoring balance to a universe of annoying variables. By reinvigorating the power within us to be the master of our own destinies, the Micro Floor Drive HP Pump is a shield in the battle of mankind against roadside nails and thorns. You'll never be stranded again; that is, unless you forgot a tube.
At only 260mm, the Micro Floor Drive is a travel pump that delivers the ease-of-use, and the maximum PSI, of a floor pump. The Micro Floor Drive is capable of an impressive maximum pressure of 160psi. It also features a stainless steel folding foot peg that sticks out around 35mm from the base when unfolded. For durability and weight reduction, the base, shaft, barrel, and 40mm-wide handle are all constructed of CNC-machined aluminum.
The Micro Floor Drive uses a 60cm long rubber hose that comes equipped with the Lezyne Flip Thread chuck for both Presta/Schrader valve interactions. The chuck also has the Lezyne Air Bleed System for micro-adjustments to pressure, or to back out the pump without air loss. The Micro Floor Drive works so well as a floor pump, it also includes the 90 degree bend Lezyne Speed Chuck for slip-fitting and precariously positioned valves.
The Micro Floor Drive HP Pump is being offered in two versions; HP and HPG. The HP is the standard version of the pump, and the HPG includes an in-line pressure gauge.
The Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HP Pump is available in one size, and has a maximum pressure of 160psi. A Composite Matrix mount is also included.
- ABS (Air Bleed System) allows user to dial in the exact pressure with ease
- 60-centimeter hose makes those hard-to-reach places easy to access
- Tough, CNC-machined aluminum for years of use
- Flip-Thread Chuck for easy Schrader or Presta inflation
- Stainless steel wire foot peg provides stability in a unstable world
- Composite Matrix frame mount included
- 160PSI maximum pressure
- Air Bleed System (ABS) Flip-Thread Chuck
- Works with Presta and Schrader valves
- Built-in pressure gauge (model-specific)
- Stainless steel wire foot peg (extends 35mm)
- Composite Matrix frame mount

Don't leave home without it!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I have the HV (high volume) version of this pump for my fat bike and carry a separate low pressure gauge. This pump makes airing the tires down and back up quick and easy! Sometimes I ride on pavement to the trailhead and need more pressure, then air down when I get to the trail. Makes changing the pressure a breeze! I love how it screws on to the valve so it won't accidentally bend and break it off when taking the pump on and off. Small enough to fit into a small pack. I highly recommend it!
Chelsea B
Love this pump!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Works like a charm.
Fast and can get enough air in there to have a solid ride after a flat.
Catrina B.
Fast, fast, fast
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
This is a good looking, and well built mini pump. I carry it in my Camelback Hawg NV when I am commuting. I save my co2 for when I'm riding without my pack (i.e. not commuting). This pump performs well, and it inflates fast. I like the gauge, and it has been accurate for me. Almost like having a regular floor pump without the bulk. The handle, and shaft feedback is easy on the hands, especially with cycling gloves on. Without gloves is fine as well.
Nice Pump
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I love the sleekness of this pump and how tightly it stores up after screwing the chuck into the base. Everything high quality and works great, however the one complaint is the functionality of the gauge. Not real precise and difficult to see, I use it as a general guideline and then adjust pressure by feel. Having said would still recommend!
Andrew Steel
great pick up
- Gender:Male
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
this pump gets the job done super quick and the longer hose is great
Best pack pump
I don't dread the possibility of a flat with this in my pack. Saves a lot of energy compared to a traditional pack pump...like 50% (unverified). The valve can be finicky, just use patience. I don't trust any pressure gauge other than my index finger and thumb, so I don't bother with the gauge.
David Thiel
The gauge is useless, but it is useless in both bar and psi.
Suzie D.
Dumb question but how do you check pressure on your tire then when you have a flat on the road if the gauge is inaccurate?
David Thiel
Flip Chuck
Use it once and never look back.
David Thiel
Hose is quite long
Length matters.
David Thiel
Chuck screws to base to keep foot closed and to neaten hose storage. Hose holds pump handle in compressed state.
David Thiel
Size comparison
Compared to a camel bak podium.
David Thiel
Portable, but with Floor Pump Pressures
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
There are two version of this pump: the HP version (high pressure, for road bikes) and the HV version (high volume, for mountain bike). Make sure you get the right one.
Fits in my hydration pack, pumps fast, fantastic build quality.
Lezyne's "screw on" chuck system seems strange at first, but it is a superior design: positive seal, no leakage, and foolproof operation.
Thanh T.
Great pump with caveats
I got the HPG version. Much easier than other hand pumps to get your tire to pressure, since you can anchor to the ground. Pressure gauge is accurate (tested against my floor pump at home). Overall, solid pump.
Caveat 1: the hose got unscrewed near the pressure gauge and was leaking air. You can tighten it by hand and are good to go. Seems like a bizarre design flaw and scared me, but not really an issue.
Caveat 2: the pump rattles on my bike when in the frame mount. Since it is so long, when I go over big bumps, it will clatter against the frame. This was a deal breaker for me on my carbon bike. This pump now lives on my aluminum commuter, where it serves me well.
A road pump that's actually functional
Most road pumps now are designed to be super tiny and light. Problem is, they can barely inflate a road tire. Most of the time, you would give up and just call an under inflated tire good enough. Not with this bad boy. 110 psi- no problem. Its not tiny, that's for sure, but it fits nicely out of the way next to my seat tube bottle cage. It is however deceptively light for its size. My hardcore weight weenie buddy saw it and I could tell by the look on his face, he was thinking "Omg, that pump is enormous". Then I handed it to him and he said "Wow, that's actually really light". I don't see him getting one soon, but he was impressed that it could get a tire up to full pressure quite easily, especially compared to my Topeak Pocket Rocket. I mostly ride alone, so I have to be able to fix anything that goes wrong or I'm going to be walking. I have yet to have to use it on a ride, but I have tried it out and it definitely works very well. Leave it at home on race day, but every other ride, make sure you have it.
Brett Stahl
Easy to Pack
This is a great pump for keeping with you in your pack. It does the job and was reliable when we used it. I would recommend this product.
Brett Stahl
This pump is my favorite trail pump that I have owned. It pumps well and the inline pressure gauge is a nice addition. Being able to place the pump on the ground with and pump makes easy work of fixing a flat.
Steve Simpson
Gets the job done
The full aluminum body is impressive. It does have the odd side effect of getting warm when you're pumping, but not hot enough for that to be a negative thing.
160psi is amazing for a pump this size. Obviously it doesn't replace a floor pump for speed, but if you're in the middle of a century and don't have the option of limping home on an under-inflated tire this will get you up to your normal pressure.

So, lets start up QuantumGIS. You should get a screen looking like this
In the upper right you have a list of the layers in your map, much like the layers in a graphics editor. In the centre is the view of the map, and around the edges are toolbars, which can be dragged to new positions as needed.
Now, we'll need some data to start with. A good source of free vector data is Natural Earth at http://www.naturalearthdata.com/
Click Get the Data. This gives you the option to download various kinds of data suitable for several different scales. For now, lets use the low resolution Small Scale data. Under cultural, download the Countries and Populated Places datasets, and under Physical, grab Land, Oceans, River/Lake Centrelines, and Lakes/Reservoirs.
These will download as ZIP files, open them and you should see 4 files all named the same thing except for the extension.
Attachment 42049
Each of these sets of 4 files is a shapefile and contains one particular feature set. Create a directory for your project and extract all of the zip files into it.
Now, back in QuantumGIS you can add these feature sets as layers. Use the Add Vector Layer button (Green square with squiggles and a plus symbol), click Browse, then in the open file dialogue, go to your project directory, and select all the files. Click open in both dialogues and you should see the layers appear in the layers list, and the features appear in the map. They will probably be strange colours and in the wrong order.
You can drag the layers up and down the list to get things the way you want them. To zoom in and out, use the mouse wheel or the zoom buttons (+ Magnifying glass, - Magnifying glass). Pan by middle dragging, or by selecting the pan tool (Hand) and left dragging. You can also zoom to the entire document (Magnifying glass with four red arrows), or to the currently selected layer (Magnifying glass and blue square)
You can also select features. The select icon is the yellow blob with the mouse cursor over top. Select it, and the layer you want to select things on, and you can click to pick the features you want. Hold control to add to your selection and click the icon with the yellow blob and the red "not" symbol to clear your selection. You can change layers and start a new selection without affecting the selection on the previous layer. You can also click the dropdown menu beside the selection icon to get freehand, polygon, and radius selection tools. Try playing with them. When you have a selection, you can Zoom to Selection (Magnifying glass and yellow blob)
Next to selection, there's the identify tool, which looks like a mouse cursor with an i on a blue dot. Use this and click on a feature (Again you have to have the layer selected). A box will pop up telling you all the information about that feature. Try selecting the countries layer and then clicking on a country.
There is also a measure tool (ruler) Like select, this has a drop down to select distance, area, or angle measurement. Just click several times to create the shape you want to measure. A dialogue box will appear to show you the measurement as you go. Right click to finish the line/polygon. Check the "Ellipsoidal" box to do the measurement on the Earth's surface, otherwise it's done on the flat map.
Next, you can look at a table of all the information about all the features in a layer. You can call up the table for the current layer with Open Attributes Table (Window with horizontal lines in it). Any selected features will be selected in the table, and you can adjust the selection by clicking on the numbers at the left side. You can sort the table by clicking on the column headings. This is useful for figuring out what data there is to work with, though it can still be a bit obscure at times. Good data should come with some documentation to explain what the different fields mean.
So, now to get rid of those ugly colours.
Double click on the ocean layer to bring up the layer in the list to bring up the Layer Properties, select the Style tab.
If you click the Change button on the left with the colour swatch, you can quickly change the colour.
If you want to get fancier, click the Change button with the wrench icon underneath the preview. This will bring up the Symbol Properties.
Right now, the layer has one layer in its symbol which is a "Simple Fill" just a fill with a solid border. You can adjust the size, colour, and style of both the fill and the border. This simple fill is probably just fine for the ocean so lets leave it and go to the Symbol Properties for the countries layer. The countries are blocking out the land underneath, so set the fill to None. Borders are often dotted, so try changing the border style as well. You can adjust the symbols for the other polygon and line layers the same way to get a map that looks more reasonable.
The point symbols for the cities let you pick shapes to use but are otherwise the same. Here's a city symbol made from two simple symbol layers.
Besides the simple symbols, there are other types you can use as layers in a symbol. You can make lines out of point symbols, points from a font glyph, or patterns from SVG images. If you are going to be editing the map in a graphics editor afterwards, you will probably want to stick to fairly simple symbols at this stage.
That's enough for now. Hopefully up next, symbols that vary with the attributes of the data, labels, projections, exporting.

|FAA Eases Flight Restrictions
FAA has announced that it is restoring general aviation access
to airspace in 30 major metropolitan areas. The restrictions in
Class B airspace have been in place around the busiest airports
in the country since September 11, 2001.
Significantly, USUA made major efforts in the early days of the flight restrictions to get most ultralighters back in the air by September 20, well before other components of general aviation were allowed to fly in the same airspace.
"This action will allow most general aviation flights to resume their pre-Sept. 11 service," U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta said. "This reinforces our commitment to getting America back to business while maintaining the highest standards of safety and security."
Also, newsgathering, traffic watch, banner towing, blimp and commercial sightseeing VFR flights will be allowed to resume except where local restrictions apply.
"These are significant steps in our phased program to safely and securely restore full access to U.S. airspace," FAA Administrator Jane F. Garvey said.
As before, USUA strongly urges all ultralighters flying in or near Class B airspace to check Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for temporary flight restrictions and to call their local Flight Service Station at 1-800-WX-BRIEF before taking off.

Washington, D.C. (SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago Fire continued its playoff push on Friday with a 3-0 win at D.C. United that included first-half goals from Jeff Larentowicz and Bakary Soumare.
The win vaults the Fire into fifth place in the Eastern Conference, one point clear of the Philadelphia Union for the final playoff spot, while United is winless in nine straight league games after lifting the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday.
United seemed to take some momentum from Tuesday's win as the home side came out strong in the first 20 minutes and nearly went in front when Jared Jeffrey struck the post with a shot from outside the penalty area.
But Chicago scored against the run of play in the 24th minute as Juan Luis Anangono beat two defenders on the right wing and slipped a pass into the six- yard box for Larentowicz to tuck inside the near post from a tight angle.
United was still recovering from the first goal when the visitors hit again in the 26th, this time from a set piece.
The ball was played into the box and bounced around before Soumare pounced to fire home his first MLS goal.
Nick DeLeon tried to spark a United rally but he was twice denied by fine stops from goalkeeper Sean Johnson after the break, while Quincy Amarikwa capped the scoring in the final few minutes with a header from Dilly Duka's cross.

CLYDE, Ohio -- Families whose children have been among the dozens sickened in an Ohio cancer cluster are hiring a private company to test several areas in northern Ohio.
They've been waiting for years to find out what's behind the child cancer cluster centered in Sandusky County, between Toledo and Cleveland.
The Sandusky Register reports that a private environmental testing firm will begin work this week.
An attorney for the families that are paying for the tests say they'll be looking at dust in attics and sludge from a water reservoir and water treatment plant.
Since 1996, 35 children have been diagnosed and three have died from cancer in a 12-mile wide circle just south of Lake Erie. So far, no answers have been found.

Zero Isle North is one of the four (five in Explorers of Sky) dungeons on Zero Isle. It appears in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Explorers of Darkness and in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Being one of the most difficult dungeons in the game, without using Pokémon with maximum stats, Zero Isle North is a challenge to complete.
Zero Isle North contains 75 floors, with Pokemon starting at Level 50 and each floor starting with 50F containing Pokémon at Level 90. The player cannot gain experience in this dungeon, therefore keeping them at the level they were upon entering. Adding to the difficulty of the dungeon is the fact that no encountered Pokémon can be recruited. Adding some ease to this dungeon is the notion that up to 48 items can be carried throughout it.
Kecleon shops can be found on floors that are multiples of 3.
Chests containing a Wonder Crest and a Golden Mask, as well as 2 Wonder Gummis are location on 75F.

Father John Behr is the Dean of St Vladimir's Seminary and Professor of Patristics, teaching courses in patristics, dogmatics and scriptural exegesis at the seminary, and also at Fordham University, where he is the Distinguished Lecturer in Patristics.
Father John hails from England, though his family background is Russian and German - and clerical on both sides. From the Russian side, his great-grandfather was sent to London by Metropolian Evlogy to serve there as a priest in 1926; his father was also a priest, ordained by Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom), as are his brother (at St Paul's Monastery on Mt Athos) and his brother-in-law (Sts Cyril and Methodius, Terryville, CT). His maternal grandparents met at Karl Barth's graduate seminar in Basel, and served in the Lutheran Church in Germany, where his grandfather was a Lutheran pastor.
After completing his first degree in Philosophy in London in 1987, Fr. John spent a year studying in Greece. He finished an M.Phil. in Eastern Christian Studies at Oxford University, under Bishop Kallistos (Ware), who subsequently supervised his doctoral work, which was examined by Fr. Andrew Louth and Rowan Williams, now Archbishop of Canterbury. While working on his doctorate, he was invited to be a Visiting Lecturer at St Vladimir's Seminary in 1993, where he has been a permanent faculty member since 1995, tenured in 2000, and ordained in 2001. Before becoming Dean in 2007, he served as the editor of St Vladimir's Theological Quarterly, and he still edits the Popular Patristics Series for SVS Press.
His early work was on issues of asceticism and anthropology, focusing on St. Irenaeus of Lyons and Clement of Alexandria. After spending almost a decade in the second century, Fr John began the publication of a series on the Formation of Christian Theology, and has now reached the fifth and sixth centuries. He has recently completed an edition and translation of, and introduction to, the remaining texts of Diodore of Tarsus and Theodore of Mopsuestia. He has also published a synthetic presentation of the theology of the early centuries, focused on the mystery of Christ.
His other passion is cycling, especially restoring and riding vintage bicycles (see some pictures) [3] including a historic Hetchins [4]. The Tour de France dominates the Behr family life during July, dictating the scheduling of important family events. Fr. John's wife, a Tour de France enthusiast and armchair cyclist, teaches English at a nearby college, and their two sons and daughter are being taught to appreciate the finer points of French culture: the great "constructeurs" of the last century, Le Grande Boucle, and ... cheese.

If you are lost and in a survival situation, you need to find water within two to three days. But take note that most water today carries the risk of some type of contamination, either from rain or runoff from livestock or crop fields. That is why it's important to ensure the water you drink is purified first. Two major risks are the giardia and cryptosporidium parasites - ingesting either of these can make you very sick.
Water purification tablets are available, but some people are sensitive to the chemicals.
Small portable water purifiers work well and can be carried in a pack. This technology has become so advanced that the portable water purifier will remove 99.9% of waterborne contaminates.
Humans require a minimim of 2 to 4 quarts of water per day to survive.
Boiling water is the safest method of purifying water. Bring the water at a rolling boil, let it cool before you drink it, and then start boiling some more.
Most individuals can go without food for two to three weeks. Packing some high-energy power bars or trail mix in your pack for emergency situations is a good idea. If you have harvested game, start a fire. You will eat well! But it is not a good idea to eat vegetation from the woods unless you can identify the plants as being safe for human consumption.

MPA Admission
Potential for distinguished academic and professional achievement is the principal criterion for admission to the Master of Public Administration program. In assessing an application, the admission committee evaluates:
- past performance as evidenced by grades, work experience and community service
- future promise as indicated by performance on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), and letters of recommendation
- commitment to educational and career goals, as demonstrated particularly in the writing sample
In general, successful applicants will have attained at least a 3.0 undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and an above average score on the GRE or GMAT. Individuals with 5+ years of professional experience and an undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 and above may be waived from taking the GRE and GMAT, yet those applying for scholarships must submit a GRE or GMAT test score. Applicants who wish to be considered for this waiver or who have questions on what will be determined as "5+ years of professional experience," should contact the Office of Recruitment and Admission before applying to the MPA program.
Applications are reviewed year-round. Students may be admitted to the fall, spring or summer semesters. However, students applying to the fall semester are encouraged to submit applications prior to December 15 in order to be considered for the best scholarships.

Rice Official Athletic Site
Sounds awesome!!
Awesome hire!!
"I am elated to have the opportunity to coach in one of the nation's best conferences, represent an outstanding academic institution like Iowa State University and work for a head coach with the reputation of Paul (Rhoads)," Herman said. "Now, it's time to finish off the recruiting season with a flourish and then start teaching."
"In studying tapes, I was impressed with the explosiveness of Tom's offenses as well as its ability to implement so many weapons," Rhoads said. "Multiple receivers caught many passes, his quarterback ran for nearly 700 yards and his running back averaged more than 90 yards per game the last half of the season. The diversification is impressive."

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
This article focuses on HSV type 2 (HSV-2) infection.
Herpes - genital; Herpes simplex - genital; Herpesvirus 2; HSV-2
Genital herpes affects the skin or mucous membranes of the genitals. The virus is spread from one person to another during sexual contact.
There are two kinds of HSV:
You may become infected with herpes if your skin, vagina, penis, or mouth comes into contact with someone who already has herpes.
You are most likely to get herpes if you touch the skin of someone who has herpes sores, blisters, or a rash. But the virus can still be spread even when no sores or other symptoms are present. In some cases, you do not know you are infected.
Genital HSV-2 infections are more common in women than men.
Many people with genital herpes never have sores. Or they have very mild symptoms that go unnoticed or are mistaken for insect bites or another skin condition.
If signs and symptoms do occur during the first outbreak, they can be severe. This first outbreak usually happens within 2 days to 2 weeks of being infected.
General symptoms may include:
Genital symptoms include small, painful blisters filled with clear or straw-colored fluid. They are usually found:
Other symptoms may include:
A second outbreak can appear weeks or months later. It is usually less severe and goes away sooner than the first outbreak. Over time, the number of outbreaks may decrease.
Tests can be done on skin sores or blisters to diagnose herpes. These tests are most often done when someone has a first outbreak and when a pregnant women develops genital herpes symptoms. Tests include:
Genital herpes cannot be cured. Antiviral medicines may be prescribed:
Pregnant women may be treated for herpes during the last month of pregnancy to reduce the chance of having an outbreak at the time of delivery. If there is an outbreak around the time of delivery, a C-section will be recommended to reduce the chance of infecting the baby.
Possible side effects from herpes medicines include:
Follow your health care provider's advice on how to care for your herpes symptoms at home.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a herpes support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
Once you are infected, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life. Some people never have another episode. Others have frequent outbreaks that can be triggered by fatigue, illness, menstruation, or stress.
Pregnant women who have an active genital herpes infection when they give birth may pass the infection to their baby.
The virus may spread to other parts of the body, including the brain, eyes, esophagus, liver, spinal cord, or lungs. These complications often develop in people who have a weakened immune system due to HIV or certain medicines.
Call your health care provider if you have any symptoms of genital herpes or if you develop fever, headache, vomiting, or other symptoms during or after an outbreak of herpes.
The best way not to get genital herpes is to avoid all sexual contact, including oral sex.
Being in a long-term, mutually monogamous relationship with someone who has been tested and has never been infected with the virus can also help reduce your chance of becoming infected. If you have genital herpes, you should tell your partner that you have the disease, even if you do not have symptoms.
Condoms are the best way to protect against catching genital herpes during sexual activity:

Having liability means that you won't be out of pocket due to repairs to the other person's vehicle, or medical bills for that person arising from the accident. The minimums may vary depending on your state, and your insurance company will be able to give you full details.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
This type of insurance is required to help pay for injuries or damages that you receive from a driver who is not insured. If you didn't have such insurance, the damages would come out of your pocket, but having it means you have less to worry about when it comes to sustained injuries or damages. As with liability, the minimum amount of insurance that you're required to have may vary depending on your state, and your provider will be able help you with what you need.
Optional Insurance
There are a number of types of optional insurance that you can add on to your policy. Each of these grants you additional coverage, but will also increase the premiums on your Carolina car insurance.
- Collision insurance will help you cover the cost of damage related to a vehicular collision. It's important to realize that this does not cover things such as vandalism.
- Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not related to a collision. This can include things like fire, vandalism or theft. Having comprehensive coverage means that your premiums will go up, but you will have better coverage in the event of an unforeseen incident that didn't happen on the road.
Getting Carolina car insurance can be a process that is difficult to understand. The number of providers and the options they offer mean that you have a lot to think about. Understanding the basics is an excellent start to getting the coverage you need.

(WUSA) -- Six out of ten consumers are unhappy with their financial institutions but there are hidden gems out there.
A new list from Money Magazine names the best banks with perks like easy-to-avoid fees and good interest rates.
Number one on the list is US Bank -- the fourth biggest bank in the country. It has more than 3,000 branches in 25 states. US Bank was voted TOPS for basic, senior and student checking accounts. It also has a relatively-low direct deposit amount to bypass the minimum-balance requirement . The bank also ranked number one for employee professionalism in another survey.
In the number two spot is TD Bank. It has more than 1200 branches in 15 states. The bank offers great rewards if you keep a certain minimum in your account. Customers pay NO out-of-network ATM fees or foreign transaction fees on debits. Another perk is that the branches are open late.
Huntington Bank is a mid-sized regional bank with branches in West Virginia. It has free checking accounts and a money market account that pays 0.65% -- well above average.
Number four is First Citizens Bank -- another midsize-regional bank with more than 420 branches across the country, including our area. Perks include free, basic checking, and low minimum balances for more souped-up accounts.
Rounding out the top 5 is midsize regional bank M&T Bank. It offers free checking and waives out of network ATM fees for some.

Colour Change Charm
Revision as of 23:53, December 3, 2012 by Hunnie Bunn (Talk | contribs)

- "...he wished he had not mixed up the incantations for Colour Change and Growth Charms, so that the rat he was supposed to be turning orange swelled shockingly and was the size of a badger before Harry could rectify his mistake."
- —Harry mistakens the Growth Charm for this spell in his OWLs.[src]
The Colour Change Charm (incantation unknown) is a spell that causes an object or animal to change colours.
- "Sunshine, daisies,
butter mellow,
turn this stupid,
fat rat yellow."
- —Ron Weasley trying to perform a Colour-Change Charm.[src]
When Ron Weasley was eleven years old, his brothers Fred and George convinced him to believe that a nonsense poem was this particular charm. The incantation was supposed to turn Ron's rat Scabbers yellow, but being a fake incantation, it caused no change whatsoever.[1]
During Harry Potter's Charms O.W.L. in 1996, he accidentally switched the incantations for this and the Growth Charm, so that instead of turning the rat orange it grew to the size of a badger before he could reverse his mistake.[2]
Harry Potter used this charm when he came of age to change the robes of the Chudley Cannons posters in Ron's bedroom to bright blue.[3]
Behind the scenes
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, a similar spell used, Multicorfors, changes the colour and style of the player's minifigure. That spell and this one may be similar, but due to the "-fors" ending in Multicorfors, they are probably different spells. However, Colovaria is a charm as well, and its incantation would make sense used to the effect of this spell.
- Harry Potter may have used this charm as a child to turn his teachers wig blue, when he unknowingly performed underage magic. However, as such was human transfiguration, and it is known that Multicorfors is used to change the colour and style of a human, it may have been that charm instead of this one that Harry used.
- It is possible that Harry may have accidentally used this charm on his eyebrow in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. However, it is more likely that this was Multicorfors, as it was performed in the class about transfiguration.
- It is possible that Albus Dumbledore uses this to change the house colours in the Great Hall at the End-of-Term Feast.

AT&T Adds Battery Charger Partially Made From Recycled Water Bottles to Product Line-Up
First of Electronic Devices Sold by AT&T to Automatically Power Off When Fully Charged
- 25 percent of the plastic in the external housing of the Motorola P793 Back-Up Battery Charger is made from recycled post-consumer water-cooler bottles.
- The Back-up Battery Charger shuts itself off automatically once fully charged, reducing wasted energy.
- The Back-up Battery Charger is a portable back-up power accessory that is compatible with all USB devices by major manufacturers.
- In 2010, AT&T* launched the ZERO Charger which switches itself off to save energy.
- 25 percent of the plastic in the external housing is made from recycled water-cooler bottles.
- Free of brominated flame retardants, polyvinyl chloride and phthalates.

This is just a quick note to remind you not to fall for the big fat lie of "I don't really want anything for Valentines Day" or "It's just a Hallmark Holiday." Both men and women want something for Valentines Day for one reason...they want to know they are appreciated and loved.
And yes I know many of you will write me or post on my Facebook page saying that we should do that every single day and I would agree with you, but I also know that we DON'T do it every single day.
So suck it up cowboys and cowgirls and at least get a card and chocolates to say, "I love you and want to sex you up!" Okay leave off the "sex you up" part, because that is just a given.

Philip Morris International Inc. Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (PM)
TheStreet) -- Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of B . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, PM's share price has jumped by 32.70%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, PM should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- The gross profit margin for PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL is rather high; currently it is at 69.80%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 28.10% is above that of the industry average.
- PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL' earnings per share from the most recent quarter came in slightly below the year earlier quarter. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL increased its bottom line by earning $4.84 versus $3.92 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.21 versus $4.84).
- PM, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 4.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 5.3%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Tobacco industry average. The net income has decreased by 6.3% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $2,377.00 million to $2,227.00 million.

Mike is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto Advance.
Very little is known of Mike. Unlike most protagonists in GTA Advance's contemporaries, Mike does not have any early background or any additional appearances in other games. It is only known Mike has intentions to leave Liberty City for good with his associate Vinnie, an initial plot point in GTA Advance's storyline.
Events of GTA Advance
In the beginning of the game, the two had earned enough money to leave Liberty City, but Mike was been coaxed by Vinnie to take a few more jobs from the Mafia before leaving. After Vinnie was thought to be killed by a car bomb, Mike attempted to trace the killer, while attracting negative attention from all gangs in the city. Mike's first boss is 8-Ball who finds Mike no closer to finding the killer, but 8-Ball recommends a bartender named Jonnie, who has several connections in Liberty City. Mike is initially annoyed by Jonnie's paranoia, but it rings true when Jonnie is found killed while Mike is on an errand. Mike stalks assailant to Staunton Island, which leads him to King Courtney.
Mike suspects King Courtney to be behind the death, but King Courtney explains that he is also after the killer because Jonnie is in debt with with the Yardies. Mike and King Courtney agree to work together; King Courtney would help Mike with his hunt for the killer in exchange for his services. Mike finds himself no closer to finding Vinnie's killer. Eventually, Mike loses his patience and confronts King Courtney who tells him that the Colombian Cartel leader, Cisco, is behind everything. When Mike attempts to kill Cisco, he discovers King Courtney was merely using him. With this in mind, Mike cuts ties with the Yardies.
Mike works for Cisco at first and soon Asuka Kasen, both of whom were at war. Cisco has Mike abduct Asuka's neice, and later Mike undoes this action under Asuka's orders. Whilst working for the Cartel and Yakuza, it becomes apparent to Mike that Vinnie was still alive and was responsible for killing some of his bosses, as well as this he was intending to leave with Mike's share of the money. After the confrontation, Mike killed Vinnie. Before his death, Vinnie warns Mike that he is now a gang target.
Afterwords, as Vinnie warned, Mike becomes a target for the Yardies, who get the Cartel to do their work at first. After a police raid during a gang war with the Cartel, 8-Ball is arrested. Mike soon decides to get even with King Courtney, and after organizing an attack on the Yardies, Mike fights King Courtney alone, but allows him to escape due to a sudden police raid. Mike eventually escapes the police and leaves the city with a private aircraft owned by Cisco.
Due to the lack of character and story development in the game, Mike, like Claude, lacks much personality. However, Mike is very loyal to his bosses; he will go through with any job they give him and in the event of their deaths he would go out of his way to avenge them. He is also shown to not take betrayal lightly, as seen when he kills Vinnie.
