The impending storm has the potential to wreak havoc on many people's travel plans. Delays and cancellations are expected at airports in cities across the Northeast. It may have many people wondering whether they should buy travel insurance or make alternate arrangements when planning a trip for the wintertime. Melissa Kakareak has more.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- A huge winter storm is something that nobody wants to see in the forecast a few days before a trip or a vacation. But there are things you can do to help prepare for the situation, starting when you first book your trip.
Having travel insurance can be beneficial when a winter storm hits because it reimburse you for a canceled trip or can help you pay for things such as unexpected meals and hotel stays, lost baggage or time lost. "I would highly recommend it for travelers, especially from this area, with our weather the way it is, that's a special circumstance that people have to keep in mind," said Apple Travel owner Deanne DiRado.
Travel insurance can be purchased up to 24 hours before a trip. But if you if you wait until the last minute, like the day before a storm, your options can become limited and it may be too late. Travel agents say it's best to buy insurance early and it's also important to talk to experts about what you are purchasing so you don't end up without the proper coverage when a winter storm impacts your travel plans.
"They are not all the same. They are completely different and they offer something different and they differ in price, so it's good to know your options and not just choose what you are offered, know what you are getting," said DiRado.
But even if you have travel insurance, there are other things to be aware of. You should give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport and also have supplies in a carryon bag in case you get stuck at the airport. People should also stay in contact with their airline or their travel agent in the hours leading up to the flight. "The best asset is to have patience. Call the airlines, get updates on the flights, see what is operating on time, what's late, what's canceled. They are going to be able to re-accommodate you," said Broome County Aviation Commissioner David Hickling.
Local airports say they have snow removal equipment ready to go for the runways.Several airlines are waiving fees for people changing their flights to and from affected airports.

OK- so I'm looking at doing something for my daughter (who would be 5th grade next year) that I did as a 5th grader, and I was hoping to have some ideas bounced off here too! It was a book of states. I still have it, it's just packed up in a book about 2 hours from me! Here is what I remember.
Each page:
Title- State
Picture of State
Date of Statehood
Capital City
State Bird (picture?)
State Tree
State Flower
State Flag (picture)
State Nickname
Anyway. I know I can go to target or walmart to get a book that probably has all of this stuff in it, plus games, but I don't think it would mean as much to her to just do a coloring book page. (Maybe it's just better and easier to do anyway and I should just forget trying to do this.)
Also, any ideas that your school has done that you are like totally amazed at for history stuff would be awesome too! I remember doing a who's who in history in 7th grade, and I may be doing that this upcoming year as well.
Thanks so much ladies! I'm sure that there probably is just a website that has print off pages, but I can't find any free ones! I would be willing to pay a few $$ for stuff, but not the $20-$30/ year subscriptions that most are. (Unless it is COMPLETELY AWESOME and you tell me that I just HAVE to have it!)

Ari Ashe, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Millions of dollars in unpaid tolls have gone uncollected in Maryland, but a new proposal being considered by the General Assembly aims to make it harder to dodge fees.
The proposal allows the Maryland Transportation Authority to go after those who don't pay tolls.
"It would mean at the end of 30 days, if you don't pay the toll, you will get a $50 citation," Maryland Transportation Authority Executive Secretary Harold M. Bartlett says. "You can pay the citation, go to court or do neither, and we can institute other measures like suspending the registration on your car."
Last year, The Washington Post reported nearly 650,000 vehicles owe about $6.7 million in unpaid tolls since 2007.
The problem is exacerbated with the Intercounty Connector (ICC), a toll road without toll plazas that only accepts E-ZPass. The ICC is the only all-electronic toll road in Maryland.
When someone on the ICC doesn't have an E-ZPass, the Maryland Transportation Authority mails the driver a video toll (a still image of the vehicle's license plate), which is 50 percent higher than the base rate.
If the driver doesn't pay the fine in 30 days, a second bill is sent with a $25 fee. Thirty days later, another bill is sent, and so on.
If the driver still refuses to pay, the bill is sent to the Maryland Central Collection Unit. However, the collection agency does not report toll violators to the credit-rating agencies.
"Unfortunately, that means some of the other tools that were available to us, like suspension of registration, isn't available to us currently," Bartlett says.
The Motor Vehicle Administration hasn't suspended a vehicle's registration for tolls since 2010.
"No amount of money that goes uncollected is acceptable," Bartlett says. "But what we're talking about is four-tenths of 1 percent in annual toll revenue."
Bartlett admits that as Maryland moves towards all-electronic tolling, like the ICC, the problem will get worse.
One of the biggest sources of unpaid tolls is rental cars. Nine rental car companies owe between $80,000 and $200,000 each, but the Transportation Authority is working with the individual companies to solve that problem.
"In many of these cases, the drivers aren't scofflaws," Bartlett says. "It's just more difficult to track down who was using the rental car when the toll was assessed. But I have been speaking directly to these rental car companies."

Remember, this is for competitive movesets, not in-game. Ability, EVs etc should be included. Make sure to read all the guidelines here. Aurorus Pokedex & learnset for reference. xy movesets aurorus asked Nov 8, 2013 by MovesetBot Why not make it a special tank with sand? It had good bulk and can take out ground types commented Nov 16, 2013 by astrichthyes Nothing, because it sucks! :D commented Mar 13 by Le Scraf Le scraf its good iv beet a lot of people with it commented Mar 29 by N the Champion You make me laugh N the Champion. commented Mar 29 by Le Scraf Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 15 Answers 7 votes Aurorus @ Leftovers Ability: Snow Warning EVs: 80 HP / 252 SAtk / 176 Spd Modest Nature - Frost Breath - Discharge - Encore - Protect The only reason you should be using this guy is if you're building a lower tier Hail team. Why you would build a Hail team is beyond my knowledge, as you got nerfed to the point where Stallrein, which was the main incentive to Hail back in ye olde dayse of Snover NU, is no longer an invincible beast. Two Frost Breaths outdamage a Hyper Beam, and don't leave your opponent with a free turn to play around with either. Frost Breath is just an incredible move this Gen, being technically a base 120 power attack with 90% accuracy that ignores stat boosts. You could make an argument for using Blizzard on this set, since it is 100% accurate at the cost of 10 less base power and isn't stopped by Shell/Battle Armor, but Calm Mind is fairly prevalent in NU, so I believe Frost Breath is the more useful options. Discharge gives you what is technically Boltbeam, although this one has a chance of paralyzing. Encore is a great move to use on slower Pokemon, as it provides you with free reign if you can pull it off. Aurorus doesn't have many other options besides Dual Screening, which while an option, I would not recommend since Dual Screening generally is a suicidal role, and other Pokemon pull it off better. Protect allows you to scout for unfriendly coverage attacks such as HP Fighting or Focus Blast, while also stacking Leftovers healing and Hail damage. Aurorus is going to die anyways, since it has such horrible resists, such a bad defense stat, and a weakness to the most common attacking types. So offensive set it is. Take down some slower Pokemon. Speed is enough to outspeed a fair number of the common Torterra brands. Then rest in HP. answered Nov 8, 2013 by trachy What about Blizzard? commented Dec 5, 2013 by SparkyBlaziken He mentioned Blizzard :1 commented Dec 5, 2013 by JarJar~ Sorry, I meant Avalanche lol commented Dec 5, 2013 by SparkyBlaziken Despite what this site says, crits are just 1.5x, so Frost Breath is "90", right? commented Mar 13 by Malachite Yes, you're right, though basically nobody knew that back in November (heck, most people still don't). commented Mar 13 by ƒιzz Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes I decided to take advantage of his ability and use hyper beam for this set. Aurorus @ Choice Specs/Quick Claw Trait: Refrigerate EV's: 252 Hp/252 SpAtk/4 SpDef Nature: Modest (+SpAtk/-Atk) Hyper Beam Thunderbolt AncientPower Psychic The classic BoltBeam combo, except with hyper beam instead of ice beam. Hyper beam is Aurorus's powerhouse move, granting STAB thanks to his cool (pun intended) ability - refrigerate, which turns normal type moves to ice type. Thunder bolt is for those darn water types, and the only move that does neutral damage to steel types. While weak, Ancient power will do some damage to fire types. And Psychic is for fighting types that you predict will switch in, hoping to get an easy kill. answered Nov 8, 2013 by Hairy Shed Sorry, but Quick Claw? commented Nov 20, 2013 by JarJar~ Quick Claw has its moments, commented Nov 23, 2013 by TheCanisMajor Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Aurorus @ Weakness Policy Ability: Refrigerate EVs: 4 HP / 252 Satk/ 252 Speed Modest/bold Nature - Rock Polish - Nature Power - Calm Mind - Freeze Dry When entering a battle it would be wise to use rock polish right away unless trick room is up. In that case, save for the last round of trick room. Rock Polish gives its speed +2. Nature power in wifi battles will be tri-attack and with his ability. It'll have stab. Calm mind for when predicting stalls and switch outs. Boosting Special Attacks and Special Defense Freeze Dry: Super Effective on water types and has stab. The reason for Weakness Policy is to use its weaknesses to its advantage by boosting all attack stats by two though most steel and fighting moves will knock it out without screens up. Earthquake could also be a problem and priority moves are killers but most people still underestimate Aurorus' +2 speed which can out speed Garchomp. Aurorus is a risk to use, but if used right he is super powerful. answered Oct 23 by ChillTrickster edited Oct 23 by ChillTrickster Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Depending on your strategy, if you rise it on a Sp Att Basis, Hyper Beam is a MUST! That cause' of its hability to turn normal moves into ice moves. Freeze Dry is also good move when you don't want or don't need to go full power with the Hyper Beam. Freeze Dry is great cause it is super effective against water type too, so excellent against those water/ground types. Mine: Modest -Hyper Beam -Freeze Dry -Thunder Wave -Ancient Power I chose Ancient Power because I went all Sp Att but if you didn't lower your Att. you can consider Stone Edge or even a non-rock attack. answered Nov 8, 2013 by Moshtran Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Aurorus w/ Light Clay Ability: Refrigerate EV: Special Defense: 252, Defense: 252, HP:4 Moveset: Reflect Light Screen (I think its what its called lol I'm doing this from memory) Ice Beam Rock Slide Aurorus is a great screener. It's overall bulk is good for screening. The one problem with this set is that Aurorus usually dies quickly after this but if you have a healer on your team I think you will be fine. There is also no type coverage moves so you need to be very careful with your Aurorus. answered Nov 8, 2013 by Fireboom1153 Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Aurorus w/ life orb or leftovers Ability: Refrigerate Nature : Timid (+speed -attack) EVs: 252 sp.atk 252 speed 4 hp Moveset: Rock Polish Nature power Freeze dry (Filler) hp fire/ ancient power This could actually be a very good sweeping set for aurorus if set up at the right time. I recommend using a sticky web galvantula just to slow down your opponent to where you can set up successfully. Setting it up with rock polish will make it where his terrible speed will be fixed and at plus 2 can actually outspeed many things. You just need to find the right time to do so you don't end up loosing a pretty good special attacker. Nature power changing to tri attack because of x and y y's wifi gives it a 30% increase and then adding stab on top of it pretty much makes it an ice hyper beam that has a chance to burn paralyze or freeze the target making it a REALLY good move to have and can take out a lot if things. Freeze dry is just a better electric type move that is stab and can hit the bulky water/ground Pokemon for 4x super effective damage. Hp fire would be really nice to have but just in case you don't get the iv sprees needed to get it ancient power would be a nice stab rock move that has a chance to raise all your stats. Aurorus is very underestimated in my opinion and could actually be very good if you use it in the right way, and this set is pretty good at covering most of his many weaknesses and can be viable competitively. Try him out!!! It might surprise you!!! answered Jan 26 by Inosmthnboutpkmn Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Aurorus @ Life Orb Nature Modest EV: 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Hp Moves: Nature Power/ Ice Beam Thunderbolt/Freeze-Dry Psychic/Dark Pulse HP Ground/Ancient Power/Flash Cannon This set is designed to handle certain checks and counters. Aurorus is not fast even with Speed investment. However, it can out speed a few certain threats and that is the point. His moveset is pretty capable and he has good Special Attack. Ice Beam might seem like the natural move, but with Nature Power, you will get Tri-Attack. And the moment you do, Refrigerate kicks in and you get it to be Ice Type, 30% Power Boost, and Stab. This raises it to a much more powerful attack. And its still has the ability to give Status. ThunderBolt and Freeze Dry give you coverage against Water and Flying Types. Psychic will cover your weakness to Fighting. And Dark Pulse gives you advantages over Psychic. The last move has many options. HP Ground covers Rock Types and Steel Types, Ancient Power gives you a move that has stab and the chance to raise your Stats. And Flash Cannon lets you deal with Fairy Types. Calm Mind is also Possible as it will increase your damage and help you wall even more Special Attacks. Of course there are other options and I am still play testing. However this Set has been pretty good and gets the job done. So I figured I would post it. Thanks! answered Mar 5 by DHLucario Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Has really bad typing but is still a solid Pokemon in NU. Offensive: Aurorus@Power Herb/Weakness Policy Ability: Refrigerate Nature: Modest EVs: 252 SAtk/252 Spe/4 HP Rock Polish- Boost speed. Hyper Beam/Nature Power- Refrigerate plus STAB on a 150 power move is incredibly powerful. Works with Power Herb. Nature Power if you are running Weakness Policy. Freeze Dry- STAB with more coverage. Hidden Power Fire- Coverage. EDIT: I forgot to mention Weakness Policy. It works wonders on Aurorus. Defensive: Aurorus@Leftovers/Icy Rock/Sitrus/Chople/Babiri Berry Ability: Snow Warning Nature: Bold EVs: 252 HP/164 Def/92 SDef Toxic- Combined with Hail you will really wittle down the opponent. Protect- Works with Toxic. Dragon Tail/Roar- Phaze and Toxic more Pokemon. Blizzard- STAB. answered Mar 13 by ChewyDonuts edited Mar 18 by ChewyDonuts OMG! First vote!

This mixed attacker set covers 12 types, all of aurorus's weaknesses, and allows for at least one attack STAB on both types rock and ice, and alternatively, get an aurorus with the other ability and employ hyper beam, and thunder bolt, and maybe make it a jolly or modest nature, but its not as good in my opinion. answered Nov 20, 2013 by Draganaut Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Aurorus @ Leftovers Ability: Refrigerate EVs: 252 SAtk/252 HP/4 SDef Modest Nature ~Calm Mind ~Nature Power ~Thunderbolt ~Psychic/Discharge/Stealth Rock answered Nov 23, 2013 by StormBorn I'm not sure Aurorus can have stealth rock... good set anyway though! commented Jan 3 by Frostwarrior359 whats the use of Refrigerate commented Jul 4 by josh123z Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Aurorus, the Screaming Tundra Item: Metronome Ability: Refrigerate EVs: 252 Special Attack, 128 HP, 128 Speed Nature: Modest or Timid Moves: - Echoed Voice - Rest - Sleep Talk - Substitute/ Flash Cannon/ Charge Beam/ Protect Explanation: Even with the two x4 weaknesses (steel and fighting), I believe Aurorus has some potential, so here is a rather odd move set I came up with (different than a screener or snow warning moveset...). This move set is built on adding the many bonuses of Echoed Voice + Refrigerate + Metronome together to make a possible sweeper, While Echoed voice and the Metronome add more power when used in repetition, refrigerate turns echoed voice into a STAB ice type move and further increases the damage dealt. Rest and Sleep talk should be self explanatory (for healing), the 4th move is up to the user however, substitute to survive longer, flash cannon for Coverage, Charge beam for coverage and stat increase, or protect for scouting an opponents moves. (This is only my second move set here, if I screwed up something or used a Banned move or item, then please tell me. I couldn't resist putting up a move set for one of my favorite Pokemon of Generation 6, Sorry!) answered Jan 2 by Frostwarrior359 wait aurorus gets rest?? commented Apr 6 by megapokemon1234 Wait, so aurorus can learn rest?? commented Apr 6 by megapokemon1234 I can't tell if your trolling or not, but basically, all pokemon get rest, and Aurorus (check its moveset) is no exception. commented Apr 16 by Frostwarrior359 yeah, i forget that on that moment :/ stupid me i was tired or something commented Apr 26 by megapokemon1234 Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Aurorus@Expert Belt Ability: Refrigerate/Snow Warning (whichever you prefer) Nature: Quiet EVs: 252 special attack, 100 attack, 80 special defense, 76 HP Moveset: Psychic (Protection against fighting-types) Freeze-Dry (STAB, super effective against water-types) Ancient Power (STAB) Earthquake (Protection against steel-types) Psychic is a good move for Aurorus, just for both coverage and protection against the dreaded Fighting-Type. As for Freeze-Dry, you could always swap for ThunderBolt, but I honestly prefer Freeze-Dry because of STAB. Ancient Power because you might get an all-stat boost. And as for Earthquake, it's strong enough to do a decent amount of damage to Steel-Types, with the help of the Expert Belt. This is helpful, despite Aurorus' mediocre attack stat. Feedback is appreciated! Thank you very much! answered Jan 19 by ىtellarℵerneas☾ℒuna☽ Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Meet Tundra the risky Aurorus. She is the most dangerous dino you could ever meet. Tundra the Aurorus Ability: Refrigerate Nature: Timid (for that extra boost) Item: White Herb Moveset: Hyper Beam (ultra power+stab thanks to refrigerate. Use this move wisely, as you can only use it once to be safe from the recharge, white herbs don't last forever...) Blizzard/Ice Beam/Freeze Dry (either are stab, blizzard if Tundra is on a hail team for that no-worries-for-accuracy play, or your a risk taker, Ice Beam for the accuracy, Freeze Dry for that extra death penalty to water types) Ancient Power (stab) Rock Polish (to speed up Tundra for that chance to sweep) Remember that this set is for risk takers, so choose wisely. answered Mar 8 by Evenstar~✴ I don't think White Herb works with Hyper Beam. Correct me if I'm wrong... commented Mar 13 by Malachite It does. commented Mar 14 by Evenstar~✴ White Herb doesn´t make Hyper Beam an 1turn move it makes so if you get stat changes below 0 it returns them to 0. And you matbe meant power herb but it doesn´t work either as it´s charging and not recharging commented Apr 20 by Natsu Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Aurorus @ Leftovers or Chople Berry Trait: Snow Warning EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 Sp Atk Nature: Bold Moveset -Blizzard / Frost Breath (STAB move) -Psychic -Rock Polish -Discharge Blizzard and Frost Breath have the same base power but Frost Breath has more PP while Blizzard hits all opponents in Double / Triple Battles Psychic destroys crippling Fighting Types Rock Polish Boosts your speed so you can have balance of Offense and Defense Discharge boasts a huge 30 % chance of paralyzing your foe answered Mar 16 by ~~Dazzling Sylveon~~ Blizard has a BP of 110 and since gen VI critical hits will only do 1,5x damage instead of 2x so the BP of Frost Breath would be 90. commented Mar 29 by Banzaitoaster ok then use blizzard with max pp ups! commented Mar 31 by ~~Dazzling Sylveon~~ Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes Aurorus received quite a buff in ORAS , so an updated set deserves to be mentioned. Modest Nature. Ability: Refigerate 252 Sp. Attack, 32 Sp. Defense, 220 Speed Item:Life Orb - Hyper Voice - Earth Power - Freeze-Dry/Thunderbolt - Rock Polish Hyper Voice is Aurorus' newfound STAB move of choice. With Refrigerate, it has an impressive 117 Base Power without drawbacks, allowing it to hit hard. Earth Power is the second toy Aurorus received, ORAS, and is a very welcome coverage move to hit the Fire and Steel Types that resist Hyper Voice. Next, Aurorus should leave a coverage slot to make sure it can hit the always ubiquitous Water Type Super-effectively. Freeze-Dry comes to mind, but Thunderbolt can do the job too. The Difference is that Freeze-Dry hits harder and has exterior utility, while Thunderbolt hits Water-Types slightly more reliably. Now, the given EVs maximize Aurorus' Special Attack while outspeeding uninvested Pokemon with a Base Speed of 85 or lower. Aurorus is a Bulky Pokemon, but its Typing is so horrible it can't tank reliably, and it must therefore try to outspeed as much as possible. Fully investing would be largely pointless due to the lack of Pokemon to outspeed, however. The rest is placed in Special Defense, because of its high HP and the virtual non-existence of a Physical Pokemon not having a Super-Effective move. With that said, Rock Polish rounds off the set by doubling its speed. Outspeeding the opponent not only gives some degree of sweeping capability, but also comes the fundamental fact that your opponent has to eat one of your moves before you do, which limits the exploitation of its Typing. answered Nov 28 by 97eml1 Please log in or register to add a comment.

The AD8646 and the AD8647 are the dual, and the AD8648 is the quad, rail-to-rail, input and output, single-supply amplifiers featuring low offset voltage, wide signal bandwidth, low input voltage, and low current noise. The AD8647 also has a low power shutdown function.
The combination of 24 MHz bandwidth, low offset, low noise, and very low input bias current makes these amplifiers useful in a wide variety of applications. Filters, integrators, photodiode amplifiers, and high impedance sensors all benefit from the combination of performance features. AC applications benefit from the wide bandwidth and low distortion. The AD8646/AD8647/AD8648 offer high output drive capability, which is excellent for audio line drivers and other low impedance applications. The AD8646 and AD8648 are available for automotive applications. See Ordering Guide.
Applications include portable and low powered instrumentation, audio amplification for portable devices, portable phone headsets, barcode scanners, and multipole filters. The ability to swing rail to rail at both the input and output enables designers to buffer CMOS ADCs, DACs, ASICs, and other wide output swing devices in single-supply systems.

Although Fernando Alonso was disappointed not to win the Australian GP, the Ferrari driver concedes Kimi Raikkonen was flawless on the day.
Using a three-stop strategy, Alonso was not able to take the fight to Raikkonen as the raced towards the chequered flag in Australia.
The Spaniard, though, still managed to bring his car home in second place, securing 18 points towards his title campaign.
"It was a fantastic race for us, fighting all through the race," said Alonso.
"A big thanks to the fans all weekend, we felt sad yesterday when we postponed qualifying because the fans were there in the grandstands in the rain.
"Today we had to put a good show for everyone and I think we did it. The race had action every lap. I personally enjoyed it.
"At the end, I was sad not to be able to win the race, but Kimi was fantastic and we need to congratulate them for a fantastic race."
It was, however, a welcome result for Ferrari, who suffered last season when their 2012 challenger proved to be woefully off the pace. This year the Italian stable's F138 is proving to be one of the pace-stters.
"We had a difficult start of season two years ago and last year, too, and this year is very different.
"We feel much more comfortable, the car is responding well and we have a good season ahead of us.
"We only have five days to prepare for the next race but we will again be a tough opponent."

Like a cool breeze sending the lake's surface into a shimmering dance, this gemstone ring captures a moment of sheer beauty. A doublet of carved crystal quartz layered atop a backdrop of gray mother of pearl creates the beautiful illusion of gently rippling water. Framing the stones and slipping along the shank is a smooth shimmer design of highly polished sterling silver, extending the ripple all the way around the treasure's surface. This bold ring is a statement of unique beauty and will be sure to provide the perfect highlight to your evening wear. Measures 1-1/4" long x 3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
A ripple moves across the smooth surface of a pond, entrancing viewers with its gentle dance of sun and shadow. A doublet of carved crystal quartz over gray mother of pearl in a fluid setting of sterling silver captures this movement of water and the play of light upon it.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Kimi Raikkonen reckons Sunday's race at the Canadian Grand Prix can surely not be any worse than his qualifying performance.
The Finn was speaking after he struggled to ninth on the grid on Saturday - even before he received the grid penalty that dropped him down to 10th.
Raikkonen said the wet conditions simply did not suit his Lotus.
"This morning we only had three laps in the dry and it was better than yesterday," he said. "But it's hard to say how it's going to be tomorrow, with more fuel on, because we changed the car overnight. But usually we're stronger on heavy fuel loads. In any case, we cannot do much worse than we did today, so I'm sure we're going to improve and have a good race."
Raikkonen is hoping for a dryer and warmer race on Sunday.
"This kind of cold weather has never been good for us; we don't really get the tyres to work as they should," he added. "That makes it very difficult, but that's what it is...
"We'll have to see how the weather is tomorrow, for the race. There are some weather forecasts that say it will be dry, others say conditions will be like today. If it's dry it's going to easier for us and we'll see what we can do."

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Genera ca. 800, species 22,000 35,000 (701 genera, 208 species in the flora ; 1 genus, 6 species introduced) : worldwide except Antarctica, most diverse in tropical forests .
The overall count for orchid genera in the flora includes Spathoglottis plicata Blume, which was recently reported from Palm Beach County, Florida. The plants , known locally since 1982, are apparently widely naturalized in old shellpits. The number of species in the flora includes one newly recognized species in Habenaria that is morphologically described, but not fully treated here. Orchidaceae are by far the largest and most diverse monocot family and rank among the largest families of flowering plants. An accurate account of the number of genera and species has eluded orchid scientists, and species counts published in the last 20 years range from 15,000 to 35,000. New species are continually being described. In addition, numerous natural and artificial hybrids exist.
Although orchids are important in horticulture , most of the plants traded in the national and international market belong to a small number of species and their hybrids in only a few genera; the majority of orchids are not commonly cultivated. Few orchids are economically important outside the horticultural trade: the fruits of several species of Vanilla are the source of the spice vanilla, and the dry roots of some species of Dactylorhiza, Eulophia, and Orchis are made into salep, a flour consumed in northern Africa, the Middle East (especially Turkey), and Asia. Some species are locally used for medicinal purposes; the mucilage from pseudobulbs of several species is sometimes used as glue; and in the Far East the stems of some species of Dendrobium are split into strips used to weave handicrafts. A few orchids have been found to cause contact dermatitis (e.g. , Cypripedium reginae) .
Orchids range vegetatively from Lilliputian plants a few millimeters long (Bulbophyllum Thouars and Platystele Schlechter) to gigantic clusters weighing several hundred kilograms (Grammatophyllum Blume) to some as much as 13.4 meters in height (Sobralia altissima D. E. Bennett & Christenson, a recently described species from Peru) . Likewise, flowers vary in size from less than 1 mm and barely visible to the naked eye (Platystele Garay), to 15 20 cm diameter (some Paphiopedilum Pfitzer, Phragmipedium Rolfe, and Cattleya Lindley spp. ), and ultimately to 76 cm [Phragmipedium caudatum (Lindley) Rolfe]. Weight can vary from a fraction of a gram (many Pleurothallus R. Brown spp.) to nearly 100 grams (Coryanthes Hooker spp.) . Their fragrances vary from delightful (Cattleya Lindley) to repulsive and unbearable (in some species of Bulbophyllum Thouars) . The plants colonize habitats ranging from some of the driest and hottest places on earth to the wettest and coolest, literally occurring from polar regions to the equator. Within the monocots, the most important diagnostic features of Orchidaceae are reduction of adaxial stamens, fusion of the remaining stamens to the gynoecium forming the column, aggregation of pollen into compact pollinia (present elsewhere only in the dicots , in Asclepiadaceae), differentiation of the median petal into the lip, a sometimes complex organ, and the exceedingly small size of the seed, which lacks endosperm. Among other distinguishing characteristics: pollen in the pollinia is usually not available as a nutrient-source (Cleistes Richard ex Lindley being a notable exception), and the often complex interaction with pollinators culminates in the phenomenon of pseudocopulation in several genera (e.g., Ophrys Linnaeus, Caladenia R. Brown sect. Calonema, Drakaea Lindley) . In the latter process , the flower mimics the appearance , the smell, and often the movements of a female wasp, attracting a male of a suitable species that tries to copulate with the flower. It usually only succeeds in becoming attached to a pollinium , which will then be transferred if the male tries to copulate with another flower.
Roots of orchids may be covered with velamen, spongy layers derived from the epidermis ; fleshy thickenings of roots are tuberoids (tubers being restricted to stems) . Stems may be swollen or thickened, underground corms or aerial pseudobulbs. Flowers are often resupinate: the lip (modified median petal) is lowermost, usually as a result of the pedicel being twisted or bent in its development by 180°. Pedicellate ovary, usually used in reference to length , refers to the combined pedicel and ovary. Flowers are not always borne on pedicels; when they are, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between a slender ovary and the pedicel. Consequently, because of their slender ovaries, flowers of a racemose spike appear to be pedicellate even though they are sessile, while a spicate raceme has pedicels so short that they appear to be absent. Orchid flowers often have a modified median sepal, the dorsal sepal. Sepals coalescing at their tips form a synsepal. The middle portion of the upper (adaxial) face of the lip is the disc: it may be a thickened callus and may bear hairs , papillae, or other ornamentation. In orchids the style, stigmas, filaments, and one or more anthers are united to form a column; appendages projecting laterally from the stigma are column wings; the lip may be attached to the protrusion at the base of the column to form a column foot ; lateral sepals that are also attached to the foot form a mentum (chin) . In most orchids the column bears a single anther at its apex; the clinandrium is the cavity within which the anther is borne or embedded . Pollen is borne in discrete masses (pollinia) . Genera with mealy (sectile) pollinia may have pollinia within the anther tapering into a caudicle (stalk ), which is attached to a sticky viscidium . Those with waxy pollinia have pollinia attached to one or two stipes (of stigmatic origin and formed outside the anther), which in turn are attached to a viscidium. The various aggregations of pollinia, caudicles, stipes, and viscidium form a pollinarium , the pollination unit carried by pollinators. The median stigma lobe may have a slender extension or little beak (rostellum), which aids in gluing the pollinarium to the pollinator.[1]

Nico Rosberg says his goal this season is, together with Lewis Hamilton, to make Mercedes the "best team" in Formula One.
Despite claiming his and the team's first victory at least season's Chinese GP, the 2012 campaign did not go according to plan as the team's results slumped as the year progressed. The team dropped to fifth in the Constructors' Championship.
This year, though, there is a lot of expectations on Mercedes and Rosberg's shoulders as both parties have been called upon to their up game.
"I've been working really hard over the winter on my physical preparation, both in the mountains - climbing to over 2,000 metres with ski boots - and also in the Mediterranean, training on my bike, swimming and running," Rosberg said.
"I fitted that around regular visits to see the guys at the factory in December and January and we have done some really good work, especially in the simulator."
The simulator work gave Rosberg the opportunity to assess the car even before it had turned a single wheel out on track.
"The car seems to be performing well in the virtual world but we have a very busy and intense programme ahead of us during testing to make sure we can deliver that performance on track."
The German hailed the arrival of 2008 World Champion Hamilton, who has signed with Mercedes in a three-year deal.
"The atmosphere in the team is very positive and the people are highly motivated to succeed," said Rosberg.
"And, of course, I have a new team-mate with Lewis. It's his first time in the Silver Arrow and I look forward to working together and pushing each other hard, to make this the best team in Formula One."
