UPDATE: The Lucas County Sheriff has downgraded Lucas County to a Level 2 Snow Emergency as of 3:30 p.m. this afternoon.
* * * * * * * * * *
Hundreds of schools cancelled classes and life slowed to a crawl in many ways Wednesday after the latest snowstorm blew into town.
Lucas County was among six counties that declared a Level Three snow emergency Wednesday to restrict travel to emergencies and reduce the number of people on the roads. Highway crews struggled to keep up as the steady snow continued to fall in the early afternoon.
For a time, due to icy conditions, authorities closed the Maumee-Perrysburg bridge in both directions shortly after 8:00am. The bridge was later re-opened.
Lucas County switched to a Level 2 from a Level 3 emergency early Wednesday morning and later switched back to Level 3. Lucas County Sheriff John Tharp told 13abc he placed Lucas County under a Level 3 overnight "to get a head start on it. We will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day to see if we need to change that. We encourage people not to go out unless they absolutely have to." Tharp added that he urged motorists to stay off the expressways if possible.
Ottawa County issued a Level 3 emergency around 8:00am Wednesday because Sheriff Steve Levorchick said that "winds are terrible right now and the snow is going across the roads so hard, you can't even see where the edge of the road is located."
In Findlay, snow fell non-stop overnight but began to taper off as of 8:10am. Zac Pitts reported that parking lots were being cleared for businesses repeatedly. Stiff winds continued to cause a sharp wind chill effect as well as drifting on rural roadways.
Another winter storm put down a fresh layer of heavy snow resulting in school and business closings, accidents and snow emergencies.
More than 200 school systems cancelled classes Wednesday. Many businesses closed and cancelled shift work.
Winds increased Wednesday morning, which created blowing and drifting snow. 13abc's Tony Geftos reported live from I-475 that the flakes were "coming right at us" and that visibilities were reduced as snow was blowing sideways. 13abc's Zac Pitts reported from Findlay that "blowing and drifting is the issue this morning" as winds picked up in the Flag City.
There were some reports of accidents including a semi that jackknifed along I-75 near mile marker 191 and a van that crashed through a fence along Dorr Street. 13abc reporter Christina Williams reported that I-75 was treacherous because of icy conditions. Two people operating a snowmobile on the Ottawa River fell into the icy water when ice gave way. They were rescued by Toledo Fire and Rescue units assisted by Washington Township. The riders were not hurt. A crash along the Ohio Turnpike slowed traffic in Williams County at mid-morning.
Preliminary snow totals included eight inches in Sylvania, up to ten inches in Findlay and Tiffin, seven inches in South Toledo and around nine inches in Maumee. Official totals won't be known until later Wednesday as snow continued to fall.

amwillgraham asked: As a pixel artist I want to inform you that your use of the term "base edit" in your tags is incorrect. A base edit is exactly what it sounds like- an edited base. No hair, no clothes. Art made from the base is either called base art or a doll, depending on several factors (most if not everything posted here would be base art.) The more you know.
I don't consider base art to be art truthfully. All I see is an anorexic cancer patient that people draw all over. So I call them edits, edited by people to make it look like their own character. But, for you and others, I'll put base art along with them in the tags.
Anonymous asked: What's up with the lack of Half-Life art? Is it just better in general, or is there less of it?
Honestly, just less of it.

Comments: does its job with out making the water cloudy
Comments: i have a 250 gal tank and it keep my water cystal clear
Comments: Tried in two different 55 gallon aquariums. First tank has general population on non agressive critters. Cleared overnight nicely. Second is aggressive system with triggers and lions, took two doses but did a great overall job.
Comments: This product seems to work well. I had a cloudy tank and decided to try the clarifier instead of a 10% water change and media swap. Within 24 hours, my tank was crystal clear. I did end up doing the 10% water change because that's the RIGHT THING to do. But, the clarifier did what it was supposed to do. In a pinch, it's good stuff to use.

Hey, we still get to play in the league next season, even if we stunk this season, right?
Just wondering...
One thing that hurt me this season was the Ricky Davis trade just before the season started. The draft for this league started early in the off-season, so RD was still wearing a Minnesota jersey and was looking like he'd end up with a lot of value, so I drafted him fairly early. That was a complete waste of a pick.
I also didn't have much of a plan going into the draft, and I ended up not liking my first two picks of Nash and Kidd. I traded one away for little value, getting back Redd who's nothing special. That value loss was another dagger.
On the plus side, Bynum, Harris and Aldridge ended up being nice picks. I drafted the same trio in two other leagues, and I'd call them keys to success. Aldridge at the end of the 5th proved to be right on the money, and grabbing him in the 6th or 7th, as I did elsewhere, was even better. Also, grabbing Jamario Moon off the WW was either very wise or very lucky...I grabbed him in this league, and the other two that I just mentioned as well.
For next year, I want to have a better plan of attack for this draft. Doing this draft this year prepped me for my other drafts, because as I saw my team form up here, and made my decisions on "lucky" late picks, I had a schematic to draw from in other drafts. Plus, seeing who everyone else picked helped as well, as did everyone's comments as the draft went on.
All in all, I think I was as competitive as I could be given my "rookie" status to the league, and next season I'm definitely going to bring it much harder.

FRISCO — It is a decision that the citizens of Frisco will soon have to make: Whether to approve a $775 million school bond package.
The May 10 vote will decide whether the school district can catch up with the city's exponential growth.
"Since October 1, we've added 500 kids," said Frisco Independent School District Superintendent Jeremy Lyon.
Lyon said there were 2,000 students at Frisco ISD in 1993; in 2014, the district has grown to 46,000.
By 2020, administrators estimate roughly 66,000 students.
"It is our belief that the facilities we provide for them are very important," Lyon said.
If approved, a major chunk of the bond — $598.2 million — will be used to build 14 new facilities:
- 8 elementary schools
- 3 middle schools
- 3 high schools
"Some school districts are building Taj Mahal facilities when they could do more with less," said Peggy Venable with Americans for Prosperity. The opposition group based in Austin is calling for better fiscal responsibility. "Every dollar that is added to that is a dollar we're heaping on to our kids and grandkids to pay," she said.
But Frisco Mayor Maher Maso said people are afraid of the word "debt."
"The proof is in the pudding," he said. "Look at our school district — they weren't maxed out as many school districts were on the tax rate."
If the bond is approved, residents will pay up to $17 more a month in taxes for houses valued around $270,000.

Granite County Sheriff Scott Dunkerson says the couple was traveling west about 6:30 a.m. Friday when another vehicle pulled behind them and then beside them. The couple says shots from the other vehicle shattered their driver side and passenger side windows. No one was injured. A Montana Highway Trooper later spotted the suspect vehicle and made an arrest. The person was being held in the Granite County jail in Phillipsburg. A name wasn't released.

All I remembered about beets were the canned kind that my mother would occasionally serve plain. After that, I didn't give beets a second thought until a few years ago. Then we stopped at my favorite produce stand and I couldn't resist the big, beautiful bunches of fresh beets. I bought a couple of bunches with no idea what I'd do with them. I found this recipe at Epicurious and adapted it into this dish. The combination of earthy beets and tangy cheese and mustard is one that even my kids like.
- Fresh Beets, 4 or 5 depending on the size
- Yellow Onion
- Feta Cheese, about 1/3 cup crumbled
- Dijon Mustard, the grainy stuff, 2 to 3 tablespoons
- Olive Oil
- Balsamic Vinegar, 2 tablespoons
- Salt/Pepper
Trim the beets and peel them. I try to peel them under running water so they don't completely stain my hands.Cut them into quarters.Arrange them on a baking pan and roast at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until they're tender when you poke them with a fork.Meanwhile, combine the feta, mustard, vinegar and salt/pepper to taste. Whisk it together and set it aside.Slice the onion into thin rings. Heat a little olive oil over medium to medium-high heat and cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown.When the beets are tender, add them to the pan with the onion and cook for another couple of minutes.Toss everything together.Serve warm.

A reflex arc is the neural pathwaythat mediates a reflex. It generally does not involve the brain, but rather is composed of a spinal"reflex integration center" composed of interneuronsto connect affector (sensory stimulation) and effector (response) signals. While the reflex generation may be initiated by nociceptiveinput, extensive processing takes place within the spinal cord. The neural connection from the primary sensory neuronsto the motor neuronsis a poly-synaptic pathway (Andersen).
A reflex to a stimulus is almost simultaneous, as the reflex arc doesn't involve the brain at all.

Giles defeated Riverheads 28-7 to advance to the Virginia 2A state championship game. Whitlow led the way for Giles with a pair of first half touchdowns, rushing for well over 100 yards in the game.
Now, Giles shifts its attention to Brunswick and the championship game. It will be played at Salem Stadium in Salem, Virginia, December 14. Kickoff is set for 4:30 PM.

I've been making a lot of soups lately. Pasta E Fagioli, Lasagna Soup, and White Chicken Chili. I like filling soups that don't make you want a bag of chips an hour later after you've had it. One time, I tried making Weight Watchers zero point soup. It was good, but not filling at ALL. No wonder why it's called zero point soup. It doesn't fill you up at all.
I really liked this chili. The chilis flavored the broth and it wasn't spicy at all. Not your traditional red chili that everybody likes. I poached some chicken breasts in boiling water for about 10 – 15 minutes and cooked the veggies while the chicken cooked. The chili came together really fast. I topped mine with a little mozzarella cheese and some tortilla chips. Highly recommended.
This is my dog watching me pick up after my mess that I spilled on the steps. I take my pictures down stairs in my basement and trying to balance a camera and a bowl of soup at the same time is quite difficult.

For this sgroppino, a.k.a lemon chill, you can add as much prosecco and vodka to the lemon ice cream as you like, depending how soft your ice cream is and how strong you want this to be. Since I like to serve this after lunch, I've made it fairly mild, bearing in mind that you may have started the meal with prosecco, then moved onto wine, and are not looking to pass out for the afternoon. It's much more summery with less alcohol anyway. Many people serve this as a palate cleanser instead of as a dessert.
If you are making your own lemon ice cream, make it the day before so that it has time to become firm, then all you have to do on the day is briefly whizz it with the alcohol. If it's quite hot out, put your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.–Tessa Kiros
LC Madcap Nightcap Note
This creamy, dreamy, madcap take on a nightcap draws on the cooling comfort of lemony ice cream. Since when was a nightcap only for nighttime?
Sgroppino | Lemon Chill Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 2
- 1/2 pound lemon ice cream (or substitue gelato or sorbet, whether homemade or store-bought.)
- About 4 tablespoons chilled prosecco
- About 2 tablespoons chilled vodka
- 1. Scoop the ice cream into a blender. Splash in the prosecco and vodka and whizz just until the mixture is slushy. Please note, the more alcohol you add, the more liquidy the mixture—not necessarily a bad thing.
- 2. Pour the sgroppino into chilled glasses (champagne flutes are preferable) and serve immediately, before the concoction melts

I used lemon gelato from our local market to make this fresh, citrus-y, bliss of Sgroppino in a glass. The cool, inviting white color of this aperitif is a tingling, tangy, refreshing flavor break from whatever it is that you're doing. Be careful though: The addictive nature of this sipper can impel one to make more than a single trip to the blender!

In less than a week, the South Pasadena Police Department reported six auto burglaries in the city.
SPPD Crime Prevention Officer Richard Lee says reports of suspects breaking into vehicles has gone up in recent months.
"We have seen a rise in auto burglaries and thefts from unlocked
vehicles," said Lee. "While both are similar crimes, a theft from an unlocked vehicle
may be considered a lesser crime because entry is not made through a locked door."
However, he says both are crimes of opportunity, "as the burglar simply walks down the street and sees what victims have left in plain view for them to take," he explained. "Often times these include valuable items such as purses, wallets and cell phones. Thefts from an unlocked vehicle is convenient for the burglar as they just open the door to take the item. Smashing the window is the most popular way to enter if the door is locked.
The following are reports of auto burglaries in the past week:
• 11-11-13, 12:20 AM to 1:20 AM, 600 block of Prospect. '05, Honda Accord. Suspect(s) gains entry by unknown means. LOSS: Bags and a ring.
• 11-9-13, 6 PM to 11-10-13, 9:57 AM, 700 block of Orange Grove. '05, Ford Escape. Suspect(s) smashes window to gain entry. LOSS: CDs, phone charger, blanket and work ID.
• 11-9-13, 9:30 PM to 11-10-13, 9:57 AM, 700 block of Orange Grove. '03, Landrover. Suspect(s) smashes window to gain entry. LOSS: Clothes.
• 11-9-13, 10 PM to 11-10-13, 8:12 AM, 1700 block of Mission. '07, VW GTi. Suspect(s) smashes window to gain entry. LOSS: Coin purse.
• 11-9-13, 11 PM to 11-10-13, 7:15 AM, 1700 block of Mission. '12, Mini Cooper. Suspect(s) smashes window to gain entry. LOSS: None.
• 11-6-13, 9 PM to 11-7-13, 11 AM, 300 block of Monterey. '10, Honda Civic. Suspect(s) gains entry by unknown means. LOSS: Sunglasses and I-pod.
Remember these important safety tips:
• Lock doors and roll-up windows.
• Don't leave valuables in plain view. Lock items in the trunk.
• Take remote garage openers with you.
• At night, park in well-lit areas.

The Bundesliga is winding down, and while the title race was wrapped up weeks ago, the race for Europe and relegation battle is coming down to the final matchdays. Will Schalke grab the final spot in next season's Champions League, or will they be pipped by Eintracht Frankfurt or Freiburg? Can Hoffenheim or Augsburg dig themselves out of the relegation zone? Saturday is the second to last match of the season, and there's still a lot to play for.
Saturday, May 11
Mainz vs Borussia Mönchengladbach - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
Both sides have seen their hopes of Europe fade in recent weeks and must now settle for meaningless games in the final weeks. I'm a big Adam Szalai fan, and it might be tough for Mainz to hold onto him this summer, especially if he ends the season on a high note. Borussia Mönchengladbach might go looking for a new forward this summer if Lucien Favre doesn't feel that Luuk De Jong can get the job done next season. It'll depend on how well De Jong links up with the incoming Max Kruse. The Dutch forward can go a long way towards securing his future with good performances in his final two games.
Prediction: Mainz 1 - 1 Borussia Mönchengladbach
Schalke vs Stuttgart - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
Schalke are a better team than Stuttgart, and they need to prove it on Saturday. Three points will move them ever-so-closer to qualifying for the Champions League next year. The mood around the club will get a boost with Julian Draxler signing a long term extension, too. Stuttgart have nothing to play for until the DFB Pokal Final on June 1. I can see them "not showing up" here.
Prediction: Schalke 3 - 1 Stuttgart
Bayer Leverkusen vs Hannover - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
Another match where both teams are basically settled for the year. The only thing to keep an eye on here is Stefan Kießling's face against Robert Lewandowski for the golden boot.
Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 3 - 1 Hannover
Fortuna Düsseldorf vs Nürnberg - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
This is a huge game for Fortuna Düsseldorf, while Nürnberg are now safe and have nothing to play for. Düsseldorf are level on points with Augsburg for the relegation playoff place, but they're out of the relegation zone due to having a better goal differential. Can they avoid fellow promotion team Greuther Fürth's fate and escape relegation?
Prediction: Fortuna Düsseldorf 1 - 1 Nürnberg
Greuther Fürth vs Freiburg - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
This is the game! I feel it in my bones! Greuther Fürth will not leave the Bundesliga without winning in front of their home supporters. Freiburg dropping these points would end any (slim) hope of qualifying for the Champions League and put a near "must win" game next weekend against Schalke. (Honestly, Freiburg will probably win here. I don't not want Freiburg to win, but I want Fürth to get a home win!)
Prediction: Greuther Fürth 1 - 0 Freiburg
Bayern Munich vs Augsburg - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
What's to say here? Bayern played only three regular players (and one was out of position) last weekend against Borussia Dortmund and came away with a 1-1 draw. They'll have no problem with Augsburg.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 4 - 0 Augsburg
Hoffenheim vs Hamburg - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
The seconds are ticking away on Hoffenheim's adventure in the top flight of German soccer. Three points are almost a necessity this weekend with a trip to Dortmund on the table for next week. Markus Gisdol has pulled the team within reaching distance of safety, but the odds are still stacked against them. For Hamburg, failure to get at least a point will doom their Europa League chances, and it's likely that if they don't win they have zero shot at Europe next season.
Prediction: Hoffenheim 1 - 2 Hamburg
Wolfsburg vs Borussia Dortmund - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
The match has no true meaning as both sides are secure in their current situations in the league. The biggest thing for Borussia Dortmund is the following: They must avoid injuries.
Prediction: Wolfsburg 1 - 3 Borussia Dortmund
Werder Bremen vs Eintracht Frankfurt - 9:30 AM ET / 15:30 CET
Eintracht Frankfurt can clinch a spot in Europe next year with a victory over Werder Bremen on Saturday. A loss by Werder will see them in a relegation battle on the final matchday. If Armin Veh gets Frankfurt into the Europa League in their first season back in the Bundesliga, it would definitely be one of the most impressive accomplishments this season by any manager. Also, Alexander Meier isn't getting enough publicity for his unbelievable season.
Prediction: Werder Bremen 1 - 2 Eintracht Frankfurt

Apple Thunderbolt Display
I am considering buying an Apple Thunderbolt Display to use with my 13" MacBook Pro and was wondering if it was worth the massive price tag or not. I mostly love the look of it and how it is designed. and dont really need an entire other computer like an iMac. I hate plastic cheap computers/monitors as a whole, so I would like to know what, if any alternatives are out there?
thanks for your input
