The island is our perfect size for this. We expect that we will have to fill the tank a couple times, and are always amazed as to how many miles we can put on the rental car, considering that the island is not that big.

The foul conditions, the frustrating monotony of the maze, and the sheer time commitment it required scared away many other adventurers, but we endured to the end. We successfully visited every station in the maze, and found our way to the exit.

Stainless apron front sink installation - install for replacement
I have a 33" stainless apron front sink that will be going in a 36" sink base. It will be undermounted.
I thought I'd read somewhere about how to install it in such a way that would make it possible to replace it if necessary in the future. One thing was not having a center stile in the sink base. There may have been something about attaching it differently in the sink base???
If anyone has done this, or knows the correct way to do this, I'd appreciate it! I figure now's the time to get this right to avoid issues in the future (I will have a long run of granite on that wall with a counter-height boxed out window -- so would be a big deal to have to replace that counter).
you should never have to replace it, unless your replacing the rest of the kitchen due to earthquake, tornado or fire...ha!
but seriously, don't worry about or plan for things that are a long shot/problem...the right contractor would know how to replace it if needed(but it would be a pain in the rear) but mention the possibility for the install and that way they can avoid running screws in places that cant be accessed later
most of the bib sinks are made from good quality SS(even the no-name brands, which get re-labeled to brands anyway) And I prefer to build a small frame inside the sink base to hold the weight, which then could be removed if needed and ease the removal of the sink...
The cabinetmaker has the sink installation information (it's a Kraus 33" SS apron front) - so is building the 36" cabinet base to those specs. And he is not putting in a center stile in the sink base (per my understanding and the plans, anyway!).
I'm hoping to not have to replace it, but I'm always worried about that kind of thing in general.... just in case! :)
Sink setter is one of the brands that has been mentioned here as a device to use if there is concern about needing to remove the sink in future. I don't know if one of their designs will work for an apron front--you could email them to ask.

Joseph Carr Sauvignon Blanc Josh Cellars 2012
Joseph Carr - California - United States - Napa Valley - Rutherford
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Sauvignon Blanc is widely considered to be one of the finest varietals of white wine grapes. The green skinned fruit is notable for ripening relatively early in the year, due to the fact that it prefers milder temperatures and cannot maintain its distinctive flavors in hot climates. As such, it has become a favorite grape varietal for wineries in many very different countries around the world, where it can benefit from brisk, coastal breezes and mild early summers. Sauvignon Blanc is revered for its freshness and zesty character, and generally produces wines which are dry and very crisp on the palate. However, there are a wide variety of wines produced from this wonderfully versatile grape with many wineries preferring to age the fermented juices in oak, or allowing malolactic fermentation to add a creamier, buttery finish to the grassy and tropical, citrus flavors it often carries.
When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.
Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
California has long been recognized as a wonderfully rich and fertile location for viticulture, and hundreds of years now, vintners in the United States of America have used the valleys and mountain sides of California for gradually building their own wine culture, based on techniques and practices brought over from the old countries. When it comes to Californian wines of real quality and distinction, however, there is nowhere quite like the Napa Valley, which is now widely considered to be one of the world's premier wine regions, and very much the standard bearer for modern, American wines. With Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel varietal grapes all growing well in Napa Valley, the region produces an impressive range of wines, which have had an enormous impact on the Old and New Worlds, and have changed viticulture forever.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Today's Horoscope
MOON ALERT We have the all-clear to do business and make important decisions until 7:15 p.m. The new moon in Taurus occurs at 7:28 p.m.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Today's new moon is your best chance all year to make resolutions about how you handle your money. Do you save any? Do you take care of what you own? Do you spend more than you earn? (These gut-wrenching realities can't be ignored.) Yeah, I hate smelling the coffee.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Today, the only new moon in your sign all year is taking place, which means it's your best opportunity to take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your appearance. Why not create the best impression in your world that you can every day?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
It's easy to sail along and not think about spiritual values until something heavy-duty happens in your life. Then you get religion. According to astrology, this is the best day of the year for you to think about what your spiritual values really are.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Friendships are important. This is the only new moon all year that is an opportunity for you to focus on how you relate to friends and groups and how you might improve those relationships. Got any ideas? What do your friends think of you?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Each new moon is different. Today the only new moon at the top of your chart all year is taking place. This means this is the best day in the year for you to scrutinize your style of relating to authority figures -- parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs. How can you improve?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is an auspicious day for you. It is perhaps the best day of the year to ask yourself what further education or training could you get and what further travel can you do to enrich and enhance your life. Think about this.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today's mew moon captures your focus on shared property, inheritances, the wealth and assets of your partner and, in fact, the wealth of others in general. This also includes your debt plus taxes. Are you on top of things?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The only new moon all year that is opposite your sign is occurring. This means it's the best day in the year for you to think how you can improve your closest relationships -- partnerships and close friendships. How can you be more thoughtful and caring?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You have an excellent opportunity today to ask yourself how you can improve your job, or get a better job, or perhaps improve your attitude to your job. Likewise, what can you do that will improve your health? This is a new-moon opportunity for you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today's new moon is your chance to think about how you can improve your relationships with your kids and your relationship with sports, the arts and romantic partners. Areas that are considered pleasure can be sources of pain if not handled skilfully.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Since each new moon is a chance to make resolutions, grab this opportunity to decide how you can improve your home and your relationship with family members. Family is gold. Good family relationships are supportive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Communication studies claim even in the best of communications only 40 per cent is actually getting back and forth. Our conversations are like two ships passing in the night. Today's new moon is a good time to think about how well (or not) you communicate to others.
Actor John Corbett (1961) shares your birthday. You appreciate beautiful things, especially antiques. You also appreciate kindness and generosity in relationships, which you are ready to give and expect in return. Many of you have a lovely speaking voice, which is helpful because you don't hesitate to speak up for the rights of the underprivileged.

Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
Mrs Kliewer came highly rcommended by an old district attorney in Oregon for juvenile cases. She was incredibly professional, she developed a course of action quickly and started executing it before we even left the first meeting. The whole process went according to plan and was resolved quickly and efficiently, all with the refreshingly pleasant demeanor you rarely find in a lawyer. I would recommend her to anyone in the area, she was a pleasure to work with.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I met with Mr. Vergun for a half hour consultation as a result of a referral by the Oregon State Bar. I spoke with him by phone and emailed ahead of time of my areas of concern regarding a small business I am starting. There was technical statutory research that needed to be done for several questions. When we met, his answers were thorough and specific to my questions; however, he also provided related information that he thought might be helpful, and it was. I felt comfortable with him and confident in his knowledge. I expect to need more legal advice through the next year, and I intend to stay with Mr. Vergun as my counsel.
What Larry lacks in hair, he makes up for in intellectual genius. I have had Larry work on many of the business dealings our company has been involved with. He is easy to work with, fast at returning my calls, and getting down to the brass tacks of what I need. His intelligence and experience make him a goldmine of legal advice. I'd trust him with anything I have on my legal plate.
Larry is a good listener and asks the important questions first. He seems to know the shortest path from my problem to a great solution (gets results faster and for less money), and he explains his reasoning well. I always go to Larry first for explanations of complex legal issues, and he's always got a clear answer.

Firing Line Crushes Field in Sunland Derby
Arnold Zetcher's Firing Line threw his hat emphatically into the ring of Triple Crown contenders with a dominating victory in the $800,000 Sunland Derby (gr. III) March 22 at Sunland Park.
Arnold Zetcher's Firing Line threw his hat emphatically into the ring of Triple Crown contenders with a dominating victory in the $800,000 Sunland Derby (gr. III) March 22 at Sunland Park.
Arnold Zetcher's Firing Line had his final local breeze the morning of March 15 at Santa Anita Park in preparation for the $800,000 Sunland Derby (gr. III).
Bob Baffert will not be changing his plans for undefeated Dortmund after the 3-year-old colt's front-running victory in the San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) March 7 at Santa Anita Park.
An argument could be made that California's second-best Triple Crown hopeful at this point in the year might only have a maiden special weight win.
Taris, blowout winner of the Lexus Raven Run Stakes (gr. II) at Keeneland in October, was sold to Simon Callaghan for $2.35 million Nov. 3 as the next-to-last horse in the ring at the Fasig-Tipton November sale.
Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) winner Dance With Fate drilled four furlongs on Santa Anita's main track April 26 in :47 flat for trainer Peter Eurton, his final major workout before shipping out for the Kentucky Derby.
In the early morning hours at Santa Anita Park when most Thoroughbred owners are still in their beds, Arnold Zetcher can often be found observing the progress of his horses in training at the Southern California oval.
Fashion Plate, staked to an early lead by jockey Gary Stevens, repulsed a bid from 6-5 favorite Ria Antonia to record her second grade I victory in a row in the $400,000 Santa Anita Oaks (gr. I) April 5.
In the $400,000 Santa Anita Oaks (gr. I) April 5, they'll all be trying to catch Fashion Plate, the fleet-footed filly who could use the 1 1/16-mile race as a springboard to the Longines Kentucky Oaks (gr. I).
After getting a quick jump out of the gate, Fashion Plate went wire-to-wire and held off tenacious even-money favorite Streaming for a game victory in the Las Virgenes Stakes (gr. I) Feb. 1 at Santa Anita Park.
Grade II winner No Jet Lag makes his first start since he was well beaten by Wise Dan in the Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) when he takes on nine opponents in the $200,000 Sir Beaufort Stakes (gr. IIT) at Santa Anita Park.
Ridden with confidence by jockey Victor Espinoza, Bajan, the 4-5 favorite, responded with a decisive victory in the $100,000 Moccasin Stakes Nov. 9 at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The Oct. 5 City of Hope Stakes was meant as a trial run for No Jet Lag to see if he belonged in the Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT). He aced that test when he finished in 1:31.84, just off the record set last year by Wise Dan.
After a big season with their juveniles last year at the Breeders' Cup, leading consignor Wavertree Stables has even more contenders this year.
Making his second start in the U.S., No Jet Lag unleashed a strong turn of foot for a major upset in the Oct. 5 City of Hope Mile (gr. IIT) at Santa Anita Park as 1-2 favorite Obviously gave up the lead to finish fourth.
Thirteen opponents await Slim Shadey in the $150,000 John Henry Turf Championship (gr. IIT) as the British-bred 5-year-old attempts to defend his title Sept. 29 at Santa Anita Park.

They Came Together Review – David Wain Lampoons Rom-Coms
They Came Together attempts to take romantic comedies to task in such a straight-forward way that it is almost a jab at movies in general. You won't roll in the aisles, but you'll have a hell of a good time.
22 Jump Street Movie Review
22 Jump Street spends most of its time trying to convince you that sequels are stupid, and spends the rest of the time proving it.
We Are The Best! Movie Review
We are the Best! is so clever that it often seems not to be saying anything at all, and the stars all deserve more attention and applause than there is any hope of them getting. There is no movie hitting theaters this summer that I recommend more.
Edge Of Tomorrow Movie Review
Edge of Tomorrow is as exciting and engaging as it is clever and thought-provoking, and is perhaps the perfect summer sci-fi effort. Cruise and Blunt are so good that you almost don't notice how good they are, and Doug Liman has another feather in his cap.
A Million Ways To Die In The West Movie Review
A Million Ways to Die in the West isn't especially worth your time, and the most probable result will be simply a kind of disappointment at what might have been. It can't fit the pieces together as well as it ought to, and many of them are from a different puzzle altogether.

"Good Story"
I liked the story and it kept my interest, but didn't care too much for the narrator...should have let a professional reader do it. This may have been a better book to read. The sister wasn't a believable character and for someone so righteous, I found it hard to believe she would expect her brother to deny who he was to help her with financial gain.
The ending left you for wanting more and left too many unanswered questions. Good effort though.

From: Tyler, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Non-Natives
Title: Plants (mostly non-native) not common to Tyler TX area
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Tyler, TX 75705. I always seem to fall in love with plants that are not common for this area so I cannot find information on growing these plants in this area: Esperanza, Alstromeria, Japanese Iris, Plumbago, Shasta Virburnum, Shasta Daisy, and Chelone (Turtlehead) and Tall Garden Phlox. I have lots of shade on west side of house (front yard) so plants requiring full sun cannot get enough sun and plants requiring shade from afternoon cannot cannot get enough morning sun. Extremely HOT AND HUMID SHADE during the summer.
Unfortunately, we think you are trying to put the square peg in the round hole, or the non-native plant into the native dirt. At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, we are dedicated to the care, protection and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which the plant is being grown. The native plant is adapted by millennia of experience to the soil, climate and rainfall of its own area, and will need less water, fertilizer and maintenance to survive.
For instance, your first plant choice, Tecoma stans (yellow trumpetbush), while it is native to North America and to Texas, is NOT native to, nor does it grow in, Smith County, according to this USDA Plant Profile. The reasons for this are that it is basically a desert plant, liking rocky alkaline soils and limestone-based sandy soils. In East Texas, your wonderful acidic soils with thousands of years of leaves from deciduous trees contributing to that acidity and soil texture, the Esperanza is just out of place. This USDA Plant Profile of Chelone obliqua (red turtlehead) shows it native to North America, but not Texas. There is a native plant, Phlox paniculata (fall phlox) native to North America, and is 3 to 4 ft. tall, so that is probably the one. Alas, again, this plant is not native to Texas-USDA Plant Profile.
So, lets look at some of the other plants you are pining after:
Alstromeria - native to grasslands and pampas of Brazil
Japanese Iris, Iris ensata - native to northern China, Manchuria, Korea and Siberia
Plumbago auriculata- subtropical, native to South Africa
Shasta daisy, Leucanthum vulgare x superbum is native to Turkey, Russia and Europe
Shasta viburnum, Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Shasta' is native to China, Japan and Taiwan
You can Google on these Latin names and read about the conditions in which these plants grow, and try to envision how you would create that environment in Tyler. Or you can send us another question on how to find plants native to your area that will do well in the conditions you have described in your own garden, and we will be glad to help you out.

Hey just a thought but with smart phone technology as good as it is today it would be awesome if we could que and do PvP pet battles on our smart phones with access to our pet collection.
With stats, pets, info etc all that kind of stuff, effectively the pet battles that have been added to wow minus the actual taming.
Perhaps a side game with an arena where you can duel your own pets against each other with you at the control of both.

Simcity does city planning, environmental issues, getting things done, and even how to plan for the future. Better.
No doubt minecraft, the game, is interesting
But I still curious to know if there are other better software out there that can encourage students to think creatively.
Anyone that has any example, care to share?
Thanks !
Simcity does city planning, environmental issues, getting things done, and even how to plan for the future. Better.
I don't think they're really on the same scale. In Simcity, you play the planner/mayor/whatever-high-up that determines macro issues. We should build houses here, power plants should be there. I don't care what you think, I'm God.
In Minecraft you play an individual. You determine what you use, where you build, how you build, all micro issues centered around yourself. You have no in-game control over your fellow players. You have to resort to actually negotiating and talking about things if you want to affect the macro situation.
I most definitely agree that Simcity could be used for teaching. However, depending on what it is you're actually trying to teach, I would not call it "better."
Get over yourself.
It also isn't foreign since Notch is Swedish.
If you want to teach the children to build 3d objects
Not the goal. Post is moot. And they're 13. Some kids that age might actually be able to get into Blender, most of them won't.
If sparking interest in computers and digital arts is the reason they chose MC
Not the goal.
They may not directly stimulate the creative side of the brain
But that's the goal. Try at least reading the summary if you insist on avoiding the actual article.
People will buy anything that's one to a customer.

Remodeling kitchen w/o a clue about appliances
I'm new to GW and after reading about appliances on other sites and on this forum, I'm thoroughly confused! Too many choices! We are remodeling a kitchen and need appliances. I'm not the greatest cook but for future resale in about 5 years, we are going to go with mid to higher end appliances about $12,000 for all (sort of mandatory-everyone has a Viking and Sub Zero).
We do a lot of simple cooking, use ice frequently and sometimes don't
rinse our dishes :). I always wanted a 2 oven stove too but if wishes were horses beggars would ride...
For a dishwasher, I heard that the Bosch 800 series is reasonable and a water saver. Anyone have experience with this?
What fridge (counter depth), stove and ventilation (we have propane availabl), microwave and dw should we get and where?
Also, since I've done nothing but read appliance forums (thus my confusion) I read that the prices at appliance stores can be negotiated down quite a bit (50% in some cases). True?
A sincere thanks to all.
I will only quickly comment and say that for a 12K budge you will not have both Viking and SZ in your new kitchen. SZ alone will almost eat up your entire 12K budge, so look elsewhere on that.
I will try and comment more tomorrow or the day after if I can find the time, and if no one else beats me to it.
You need to give us a little more info to make a good recommendation.
What size fridge and range? Ideally a 48" range but willing to settle for 36" ? A 36" fridge?
50% off is going to be on distressed merchandise or scratch'n dent that pretty severely damaged. You won't get 50% off on SZ no matter how good of a negotiator you are or how hard you negotiate.
Thanks for the quick response! I don't need to have a SZ fridge at all. A counter depth one would be ideal but we can work around a deeper one.
As for the stove, it may be caddy corner so 36 would be fine. I had a wolf gas 5 burner cooktop in my previous house and liked it. The only thing was that the vent hood had to be higher due to the high heat burner- I had to stand on my tiptoes to turn it on and off.
The layout of the kitchen will be 2 parallel lines of cabinets. One has a large window in the middle, with a short side was on either end. The other one will be an island. We are looking at a mid to end of September start date. Thanks again for your help!
Suggestions can be made but the best approach is to make a list of appliances that fit your budget with good ratings/recommendations and then go see them in an appliance showroom and decide for yourself.
Re: "As for the stove, it may be caddy corner so 36 would be fine." Bad idea with furniture let alone a range.
You don't need to raise a rangehood due to the power of Wolf burners but you do need to raise a wood paneled hood, adjacent cabinetry, or any combustibles to a minimum of 30" above any cooktop.
For the "vertically challenged" they sell some rangehoods with remotes and there is at least wall switches for variable speed rangehoods see link below.
But it sounds like you need to finalize a layout first with definite widths for the range and refrigerator. New standard is 36" wide for a fridge but there are choices for narrower models.
Here is a link that might be useful: LINK
Not sure if you can get them down 50%, but I always check amazon for a baseline price. They usually have the best prices I have found and you can either buy through them or at least get an idea of what a "good price" would be.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bosch Dishwasher on Amazon
Thank you for your replies. The caddy corner stove idea is out! These are what have been suggested by the appliance store here on Hilton Head, SC, but not pricing, just the Wolf/SZ promotion info-told the sales person my budget was $12,000, possibly a bit more. I understand the manufacturer's warranty is doubled if bought and installed through a local dealer. Also, Thermidor is having a promo too. The msrp is @ 18,000 so a $6.000 reduction in price seems too good to be true.
30 inch wolf dual fuel range
24 inch wolf steam/convection oven instead of microwave
Bosch 800 (or 500) series DW
SZ 36 built in fridge ss
Hood? Thinking of the Zephyr
Are there other costs associated with the purchase of these appliances? Thanks for your advice.
Wolf DF304 ~$6k
Wolf steam oven ~$3.8k
Bosch 500-800 DW $800-$1500 depending on specific model.
SZ 36" ~$9k
Zephyr ~ $600-$1200
A few of the Veteran posters here on GW have stated that Wolf has not fixed it's blue enamel problem and do not recommend their ovens. Wekick has had problems with three ovens/ranges but his last problem was with a range that was 4.5 years old .AFAIK Wolf fixed this at least 3 years ago but FYI. In any event I think the Wolf is way overpriced for what you get.
I don't like getting a suite of appliances for a promo discount you can almost always do better buying separate appliances. I would get a specific price quote with specific appliances then we(the collective we at GW) can maker a counter recommendation.
Because the appliances listed sound way way more than $12k.

Hi folks! Can't remember if I asked about Renaissance Hotels' new identity or not (my memory's not what it used to be), but I've now got a much higher resolution copy of the logo, and was hoping someone out there might be able to help me identify the fonts in this, as what I was using now looks completely wrong.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!
Heh...whoops. Guess I did post about it. Mea culpa.

Richard Vraa was a champion figure skater.
Yet he's probably best remembered as the revered teacher for thousands of aspiring skaters throughout the Twin Cities and the onetime skating coach for the Minnesota North Stars.
Vraa, of Maple Grove, died Thursday from complications after heart surgery at Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina. He was 61.
For nearly 40 years, Vraa taught figure skating and hockey, most notably in Golden Valley and St. Louis Park, where each spring and fall he taught a popular hockey skills course that spanned generations.
"Dad touched his share of lives," said Vraa's youngest son and fellow instructor, Robert Vraa of Brooklyn Park. "When you think about it, people had a lot of confidence in his ability to teach their kids. That says a lot."
A second-generation skater, Vraa began skating at age 4 on the Red River in Fargo, N.D. He won a national figure skating title at 12. It was around that time that he began spending summers in Minnesota with the Rochester Figure Skating Club.
Vraa moved to Minnesota permanently in 1957 as a pre-business student at a Rochester junior college. After morning classes, he and his coach, Helen Black, would drive twice a week from Rochester to Minneapolis, where he would train for competition.
"Dick is one of the few completely natural skaters I've coached," Black told the Minneapolis Tribune in 1958. "He has excellent coordination and power and is a very high jumper."
Following a brief professional skating career, Vraa began teaching his skills to others in 1961. Around that time, he met his first wife, Karen Howland, also a champion skater. She was an alternate on the 1960 U.S. Olympic team.
Like Vraa, she won medals in dancing, figure skating and free skating. After they married in 1963, the couple began teaching thousands of students -- from ages 2 to 62 -- starting at the Golden Valley Ice Center, then in St. Paul, Minneapolis and elsewhere in the metro area.
"He didn't do it for money," Howland said. "It was because he wanted his students, particularly his younger ones, to succeed. He gave a lot of himself for almost nothing in return."
Char Martin of Maple Grove said Vraa had such a father-like influence on her that she too became a skating instructor. She began taking his classes at age 12.
"He was very warm and gentle, but the classes were very intense," said Martin, director of the Parade Ice Garden in Minneapolis and co-director of the St. Louis Park ice arena. "He'd always say in practice, 'C'mon, you can do it. I know you can do it. Just show me.'
"And you'd want to show him that you could do it. There was never an end at the rainbow. He was always a motivator."
Vraa told the Minneapolis Tribune in 1964 that teaching took discipline and psychology. "You've got to keep on the ball. We go to every competition to watch the trends of skating," he said.
One trend that Vraa is credited with creating is the art of "power skating," which his son Robert said has now become a universal way of instruction.
"Dad broke down the mechanics of skating right down to its core," said Robert Vraa, who taught with his father for 16 years. "He could pinpoint a skater's problem -- skating stride, posture -- within minutes. Not only could he do it, but he could communicate it effectively."
Perhaps that was why the North Stars appointed Vraa as their skating coach in 1978. For five seasons, Vraa helped players with their technique and help them recover from injuries.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU head coach Todd Graham in favor of eliminating games against FCS opponents
The Arizona State Sun Devils open their 2014 football season Thursday night against the Weber State Wildcats, a Football Championship Subdivision opponent from the Big Sky Conference.
Playing an FCS team is not a new occurrence for the Sun Devils. Over the last ten seasons, they've gone 8-0 against such opponents, outscoring them 376-79.
Weber State is ASU's third FCS foe during head coach Todd Graham's tenure in Tempe, but he's not a big fan of playing the "little guys."
"It's nothing against any of those teams, I come from a mid-major background," Graham told Doug and Wolf Wednesday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "I just think the fans deserve what they want. I'm a fan of the game as well and that's something we try to talk about around here a lot, is that we represent the fans, the students, the Sun Devil Nation and I just don't think they want to see those games."
In actuality, seven FCS teams beat their FBS opponents during the opening weekend of play in 2013. But in the other 22 such matchups, the "big boys" won by an average margin of 32.2 points.
Graham, whose Sun Devils pounded FCS Sacramento State 55-0 in their opener a year ago, is confident his 19th-ranked team won't be one of those victims this season against Weber State.
"That can't happen and that's not going to happen with our guys," he said. "I have all the confidence in the world that our guys will be prepared to go, but it's hard because there's a lot of unknown with them."
Earlier this summer, the NCAA granted autonomy to the members of the Power 5 (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC) conferences. Many coaches and administrators in that group are in favor of exclusive Power 5 scheduling in the future. Graham is among them.
"Would our players rather play Notre Dame or Weber State? There's no question on what they would rather do," Graham said. "For that to ever get there, there's got to be a level playing field across the nation where everybody plays the same number of non-conference games, everybody has a championship game and the conference champions should be in the playoffs.
"These are a few opinions that I have and obviously that throws fuel on the fire. I know people think that I don't look at these games seriously, but I do. I look at every game seriously. We're trying to win every game that we go out on this field. But it's hard for fans to get excited about those kind of games."
While Graham's comments about fans lacking excitement about FBS-FCS matchups is true, these games aren't going away any time soon. There are 47 such contests on the opening weekend schedule around college football.

So I started playing diablo as a DH and really enjoyed it, I've been through every other class and still feel I had the most fun as a DH. I have a few questions before I decide to buy my DH gear again though.
1) What builds are the most effective these days? I've heard the grenades build is quite useful.
2) would I be better off buying a legacy nats set (would be a lower tier, ring would be the cheapest one I could find) or should I just use what I can from my monk and fill in the gaps where I need to with other pieces.
3) Assuming I sold everything I'd have about ~200M to work with, realistically what kind of dps would I be able to achieve and what MP would that budget be able to handle?
Posts: 5View profile
Posts: 483View profile
I doubt my gear is worth much more than 200m (not sure as I have never spent more than 95m (calamity) and everything else was less than 20m) and can do mp6-7 efficiently solo and can handle all the way to mp10 with others with minimal deaths.
I have ~300k dps with archery and steady aim. I don't think you need to start over, and other than pvp, legacy nats is not worth it imho. I can pretty much permagloom just from bola - bitter pill and dont need nightstalker or preparation.
Posts: 2,215View profile
I have both.
Fun factor = DH wins
Work factor = Monk wins
Fun means many different skills work great together. You actually have to be worried about not dying so moving around and actually playing the game will be a lot more fun. You do need more skills to play DH whether it's PVE or PVP.
Work means that your in-game DPS is not the same. Monks will blow the DH away when it comes down to farming. That includes low and high MP levels.
I use my DH for brawling and for MP10 keys. I use my TR monk for low to mid DE and regular farming. The only reason why I don't use my Monk for MP10 is because I didn't gear him to do it. He can do it but it's not optimal with no attack speed.
BLK, you make an excellent point and really I could just keep a weapon/quiver/helm on my DH and just transfer the other pieces from my monk when I feel like it. By the way both your monk and your DH have awesome gear!
Posts: 592View profile
The more disc you have the more fun you'll have. I've been rolling with almost 70 disc and I can perma vault and perma gloom as needed. A lot of DHs don't go with my build, but I'm kinda specialized for low MP farming.

Hi: 11° Lo:3°
By Kevin Unitt 27/07 Updated: 27/07 12:26
A TEENAGER has died and four others have been injured after the car they were travelling in crashed in Stockton - near Southam - last night (Thursday).
The smash happened on Napton Road at just before 7.30pm, with the car rolling onto its roof.
Four ambulances, two rapid response vehicles, a paramedic officer and Warwickshire Air Ambulance all attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "Crews arrived to find a car that had rolled over and had come to rest on its roof.
"Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save the driver of the car, and he was confirmed dead at the scene.
"Four passengers, three men and one woman, all believed to be in their late teens, suffered mulitple minor injuries in the crash and received emergency treatment at the scene and their conditions were stabilised.
"All four were transferred by land ambulances to hospital for further treatment, the three men to University Hospital in Coventry and the woman to Warwick Hospital."
