(Little study on Celebrityitis here in Foo.)
Spend the day with Lance Armstrong
$200 Cash.
(Little study on Celebrityitis here in Foo.)
A chance with Lance would be memorable and a great memory, 200 bucks well money is money in my mind no centimental value.Originally Posted by Portis
Tropical pole vaulting is the shiznit.
Lance is a cool guy. I think he'd appreciate it, if I took the 200 bucks, and donated 100.00 of it to a cancer charity like the Lance Armstrong Foundation. And used the other 100.00 to buy some cycling gear
There's a lot of people I'd pick spending a day with over $200. Meeting someone like that may actually change me in some way. (Maybe I'd ride my bike more regularly. Who knows?) And at the minimum, it should be memorable. $200, well, it's an amount of money that's not really life changing.
If you notice this notice then you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing.
I'd take the money. I'm sure he's a great guy and all, but I'd say the same thing for any of my favorite athletes/actors/etc. I can appreciate their work, but I have little interest in meeting them.
Momentum is my only friend.
That pretty well somes it up for me. He is at least an accomplished athelete so I have a lot of respect for him as opposed to somebody like Paris Hilton who just gave a green screen BJ to get famous. But still, I couldn't care less about meeting him. Gimme the money.Originally Posted by Travelin' Jack

I like meeting people, plus his little cameo in Dodgeball was pretty damn funny. Lance FTW!

This advice is the reason I'm masquerading as an athletic person.
2 hundy for sure.
200$ for sure. I could care less about meeting or spending time with lance.
200 bucks or Lance?
yicks, seems kinda cheap
OF COURSE Id pick Lance!
I'd take the money. If Lance wanted to spend time with me, I'd have to see how much I can afford.
Or how much HE can afford........
Someone that has won the TDF 7 times in a row is remarkable. But hanging out with someone that Type-A/intense and driven would probably annoy me. Congrats Lance, job well done but I think I`d rather have the $200 and spend a day with a good friend or friends.
$200 comes and goes... Lance would be something I would remember a long time.
I'd take the money. As long as the celebs are male...
What if Lance gave me 200$ to spend the day with him?
Huh? Huh?
Money pays my bills. Lance does not.
I would spend the day with Lance. I don't idolize him. I think people are more interesting that what $200 can get you. Besides, one of my loved ones could get cancer and having Lance as an aquaintance certainly wouldn't hurt.
Would you like a dream with that?
$200 will let you get to know someone very well for an hour.Originally Posted by georgiaboy
Me love you long time.
Would you like a dream with that?
I would happily accept $200 to not have to spend the day with Lance Armstrong. I can't think of any reason why I'd want to spend time with someone I have nothing in common with.

Bryan Kariya's 6-yard TD run with 10:29 left gave BYU a 24-17 lead, and the Cougars stymied a last-minute drive by the Knights.
The victory was a much-needed boost for the Cougars (2-2), who were coming off a 44-point loss at home to rival Utah.
Central Florida (2-2) now has dropped two straight after outscoring its first two opponents 92-3.
Hoffman's third-quarter score was BYU's first kickoff return for a touchdown in 13 years, a string of 160 games, and answered an 84-yard scoring drive directed by Central Florida quarterback Jeff Godfrey.
Godfrey ran for two touchdowns, but he also threw his first interception late in the game as the Knights were driving.

This is great apartment, fully renovated and very close to the city center. The living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom are clean and very well equipped with new ikea furniture. The apartment is located in the heart of the old town of Lisbon's quarter Barrio Alto, crowded with small coffee shops and restaurants and very joyful and loud in the evenings on weekends and national holidays. This was not a big problem to us, at least nothing a pair of earplugs couldn't solve :) However, if you're not a very outgoing type then this is NOT an apartment for you. The representatives of the owner of the apartment were very helpful from the beginning of our reservation till the end of our stay in Lisbon. Many thanks to Tiago, Ana and Carla for their helpful tips and advices. This is one gorgeous place where we would definitely stay again and recommend to our friends.
Impeccable accommodation in the center of Lisbon. All areas except Belem are within walking distance. We enjoyed ourselves very much.
Untadelige Unterkunft im Zentrum von Lissabon. Alle Stadtteile außer Belem sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
Schönes Apartment, genau richtig für zwei Personen. Gute Lage und Lautstärke am Wochenende ging auch. Natürlich bekommt man Geräusche mit, aber die Lage und Ausstattung machen das Appartement trotzdem sehr gut! Immer wieder gern :)
Wir waren zu viert in der Wohnung. Perfekte Lage, etwas hellhörig, aber seinen Preis absolut wert. Einfache und perfekte Abwicklung mit dem Vermieter.
Appartement propre & calme, mais peut être situé un peu loin à pieds (15 mins) des transports en communs menant aux sites intéressants!
L'appartement n'est pas tout à fait adapter pour des enfants en bas âges (0-4 ans)
Nice apartment and very friendly and helpful hosts. Only we were missing a wardrobe or some shelfs to store our cloths. The area was perfect to start exploring Lisbon. At night a bit loud.
Il soggiorno a Lisbona è stato davvero ottimo grazie all'ottima locazione dell'appartamento, vicino al mercato centrale, alla stazione bus, e proprio fuori all'appartamento ci sono più fermate autobus.
Aggiungo inoltre che l'appartamento è molto vicino a locali notturni e discoteche, ma al tempo stesso tranquillo come punto.
La descrizione e le foto rispecchiavano a pieno la realtà.
Molto cordiali e gentili anche gli operatori dell'agenzia.
Good work!!
nice location, everything was fine. thanks to some frensh party people was noisy that days. bathroom is very small and on suite!! was clean but somehow very used. maybe you like to bring your own pillow.
Schöne Grüße,
eigentlich ein gutes Apartment wie schon mehrfach beschrieben. Leider war das Bett nicht so angenehm. Die Matratze wurde nur durch ein dünnes Laken abgedeckt. Da jeder beim Schlafen schitzt geht wohl vieles direkt in die Matratze über. Das Innere der Kopfkissen und der Bettdecke waren fleckig.
Falls jemand die Wohnung bucht und Heizkörper und Wasserkocher gleichzeitig benützt, dann löst in der Elektroverteilung der Fehlerstromschutzschalter aus.
Damit dem Nächsten eine längere Suche erspart bleibt: die Elektroverteilung befindet sich im Wohnzimmer links neben dem Fernseher hinter einem Bild.
Wir haben Sonntag frühmorgens ca. 15 Minuten im ganzen Haus gesucht bis wir angefangen haben die Bilder abzuhängen.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Looking back at the four Thunder-Spurs regular-season matchups
The San Antonio Spurs won 62 games this season, one short of the record for this storied franchise.
But none of those came against the Thunder. Oklahoma City swept them, becoming only the fourth team to blank the Spurs in a four-game season series since Gregg Popovich's first full season in 1997-98.
In many ways, regular-season history becomes moot come playoff-time. Brooklyn swept Miami in four games this season. The Heat just dispatched the Nets easily in five games. Plus, the injury to Serge Ibaka clouds things.
But that said, there's some minor details to be gleaned from the four meetings between these two heavyweights this season. Let's take a quick flashback to each one:
Nov. 27
Thunder 94, Spurs 88
Ibaka's stat-line: 17 points, 11 rebounds, five blocks
Takeaways: It was an early season statement by the Thunder, ending an 11-game win streak by the Spurs despite a dreadful game from Russell Westbrook, who traditionally torches San Antonio. Westbrook shot 2-of-16 from the field, but the Spurs were burned by Reggie Jackson (which will become a theme). Jackson went for 23 points, including 14 in the fourth, getting to the rim at will against an overwhelmed Patty Mills. "Jackson kicked our (tail)," Popovich said postgame. And it was just the start of a trend.
Dec. 21
Thunder 113, Spurs 100
Ibaka's stat-line: 14 points, 14 rebounds, three blocks
Takeaways: Hours before tip-off, the Spurs announced that Kawhi Leonard would miss this game with dental surgery. Minutes before tip, Popovich lamented the loss, saying Leonard was the only guy on the team capable of slowing Kevin Durant. In this one, KD wasn't fantastic, scoring 17 in an easy Thunder win, but the point remains. For the Spurs, Leonard playing and defending well is crucial in this series. He went toe-to-toe with LeBron in the Finals last season and has the capabilities to slow Durant. But if Durant torches him, OKC will be hard to beat.
Jan. 22
Thunder 111, Spurs 105
Ibaka's stat-line: 14 points, nine rebounds, five blocks
Takeaways: Without an injured Westbrook, Jackson continued his dominance of San Antonio, this time in the starting lineup. He had 27 points, eight assists and no turnovers in 38 minutes, playing maybe his most complete NBA game ever. Jackson's a streaky player, dominating in one batch of games and nonexistent the next. So you're never exactly sure which guy will show up. But against the Spurs, he'll have the roaming space to find his rhythm. They have nobody to stay in front of him, particularly on the second unit. And Jackson's ability to consistently exploit that could be the X-factor in this series.
April 3
Thunder 106, Spurs 94
Ibaka's stat-line: 11 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks
Takeaways: Of the four games, this was Ibaka's worst stat-line. But for those that remember, it may have been the greatest example of the defensive impact OKC will miss. In breaking the Spurs' 19-game win streak, the Thunder slowed an offense that had been humming. And a ton of that was because of Ibaka's looming presence. Throughout the night, he erased mistakes and deterred San Antonio penetrators, forcing kickouts, altering layups and causing a couple uncharacteristic shot clock violations. The Thunder's perimeter athleticism and length can be kryptonite for a Spurs offense so adept at finding open jumpers. But that athleticism and length is neutralized a bit when it doesn't have its dynamic goalkeeper backing it up.

Kara DioGuardi Praises Ellen's 'Idol' Debut
"American Idol's" Kara DioGuardi says new judge Ellen DeGeneres' debut with the show was a success, and she looks forward to seeing how the dynamic of the panel develops over the show's ninth season.
"I think she did a great job during Hollywood Week," DioGuardi told reporters during a conference call Wednesday, the day after DeGeneres' bow on the first of "Idol's" two Hollywood Week episodes. "I think that Ellen brings a sense of humor, of course, but also I think she knows more about music than you think she does. I think she was critical at times, and she gave good feedback that was constructive...When I was sitting next to her, I felt she had a really good handle on whether a contestant has potential, whether they had a star quality...She delivered the message with kindness but also had criticism in there.
"I think it takes time to get used to. I think the dynamic is something that grows over time."
DioGuardi also downplayed reports about tensions between DeGeneres and Simon Cowell. "I think you have to take any rumor about 'American Idol' with a grain of salt. They're usually not true. Last year it was Kara and Paula fighting, hate each other, Kara sits in the corner...These things are just ridiculous. We're all there to do one thing, and that's to find the greatest contestant, the greatest 'American Idol' winner we can find. I know Ellen and Simon both take that seriously."
DioGuardi demurred when asked to comment about Paula Abdul's absence from the show but did say that the change has led to her taking on a different role with "Idol" contestants. "Paula was very nurturing," DioGuardi explained, "and I think for me, during the audition rounds, I tried to give the kids the benefit of the doubt and tried to give them another shot when they had some modicum of talent. I felt I was a bit more supportive in the beginning rounds than maybe I would've been in the previous year...If you judge the way you would during the final rounds, we're not gonna have any kids."
DioGuardi was also not keen to discuss Simon Cowell's pending departure from the show, but she did address rumors about radio personality Howard Stern taking the seat. "I don't think he has a musical background or any kind of music anything," DioGuardi said. "I think that if you're going to replace Simon, you have to have that background. You have to have somebody who knows about signing great artists and being part of their career from beginning to end, which (Cowell) has done with people like Leona Lewis."
DioGuardi said she was flattered to hear a couple of her songs -- "Terrified" and "Sober" -- performed by contestants but added that it presents something of a conundrum for her as a judge.
"It's like, 'Wow, they're singing my song; oh my God, if it's not good, what am I gonna say?' 'cause it's so sweet of them to even want to do that," DioGuardi explained. "At the end of it you're either digging it...or you're not. You don't want to be biased 'cause they sang your song. You want to tell the truth."

hi all !
i m playing chess from long ..bt still i can,t think next to two step ...i mean i want to play 2 mint chess bt every time..my time is End ..and i lose game..what i should do to improve my 2 mint chess game..plz give me advice ..
Thanks ..i wil wait ur all of reply ..Take care all
I'd play longer games than 2 minutes if you're having trouble thinking of moves to make in that short of time.
I'm guessing this is shahmata again
His rating is pretty low.
thanks for repling ..:) i should play 5 mint game ...
Practice In 10|15 Mins. First. Don't Try 2 Mins. You Will Be Pressured. :]
just think only in shortest time.
2 minute or 5 minute chess won't really improve your chess... you will just repeat the same mistakes... play long, slow games to learn (20 minutes or more), then play quick games for fun.
Ok if u want to improve your chess then first u can play longer games 15min+
Then after u should play 3min or 5min blitz and improve your game by learning ur mistakes in 15min.If u can think quicker in less time ur games automatically improves..
Imo read a book called Bobby Fischer teaches chess. Then pick an opening for both sides and learn about them.
Speed chess is even more fun if you learn the game at slower speeds first.
first try to play 10mints stantdard time then analyze your games with computer for mistakes, try not to repeat same mistakes again and again, by this way you can improve. You must have to overcome and learn with mistakes and inaccuracies and avoid them. try to open up games with sharp tactical openings ie e4, d4.
If that's true, I've wasted my entire life.

Holiday rentals in Carinthia
Pay just 20% deposit on most bookings
Pay just 20% deposit on most bookings
Explore Carinthia
While sometimes overshadowed by nearby Tyrol, the Austrian region of Carinthia is one of the most stunning and lesser known parts of the country. Home to gentle green hills that stretch into magnificent mountains, abundant forests and cobalt-blue lakes, Carinthia is a paradise for nature lovers.
A myriad of hiking trails that cross delightfully quaint medieval villages ensure that the region is a real gem to explore during the summer. There are several wonderful golf courses that offer impressive views over the countryside and families will find many activities for children, such as horseback riding, visits to traditional farms or cooking classes. In winter, the whole of Carinthia is one big playground for children and adults alike with countless ski stations and winter activities throughout the region.
Although the temperatures are mild during summer it is still wise to bring warm clothing as the evenings can be chilly and the weather unpredictable. If you visit in winter, skiing gear is a definite must.
Holiday in Carinthia
No visit to Carinthia is complete without exploring Klagenfurt, the region's main city, which is located at the edge of the magnificent Worthersee Lake. Klagenfurt is a great location to enjoy sailing and summer festivals during the milder months, while in winter the whole town transforms itself into an enchanted winter wonderland with bustling Christmas markets and fêtes that will delight the youngest in the family. Urban dwellers will also enjoy a visit to Friesach, the oldest town in the region and home to a wonderful medieval summer festival.
Ski enthusiasts will find numerous ski stations dotted all around Carinthia that offer a wide choice of slopes, whilst those who prefer quieter activities might prefer to bathe in one of the many thermal springs, such as Maibachl or Bad Kleinkircheaim, where visitors can go straight from the slopes to the spa. Fishing aficionados will love the region's plentiful lakes and rivers with some prime fishing spots located in Weisensee Lake.
Renting holiday accommodation in Carinthia
When you decide where to stay during your visit to Carinthia, keep in mind that the most authentic way to enjoy a truly memorable visit is to socialise with the locals. Who would you want to stay in a soulless chain hotel full of tourists when they can choose a holiday rental? Renting a holiday apartment in Carinthia means that you can experience this stunning region in the same way than those who know it best, the local people. Only they can tell you which is the best restaurant in town to try some delicious glundner kas, a traditional cooked cheese, or the cafe that serves the tastiest kletzennudel, a truly scrumptious dish of pasta pockets filled with pears and cinnamon.
Whether you opt for renting a trendy apartment in central Klagenfurt or a cosy ski chalet in the mountains, having your own space is a real treat. After a long day hiking, exploring local towns or sailing in the lakes, nothing beats returning to your very own holiday home and putting your feet up with a delicious glass of and perhaps a chat with your neighbour, who will tell you where to find the best fishing spot.

Your Company's Identity Crisis
Love, Kenneth D., Roberts, Kenneth J., Management Review
If an organization assumes that its identity is a matter of corporate logo, nice signs at headquarters and clever names for its brands, it doesn't have an identity at all.
Consider these hypothetical business communications challenges involving a company's identity. Unless carefully addressed, they clearly will send the chief communications executive right around the bend.
As the company's vice president of corporate communications, you receive a frantic weekend call from your CEO. A merger of your outfit and another of similar size is in the works. "Do we combine the two companies' names or think up something new?" your leader asks. By Monday, he wants a plan on his desk that addresses the name question, the new company's positioning and a host of related communications issues.
Your new CEO has just returned from a whirlwind worldwide tour of all company plants and offices. He is outraged because what he's just seen is a disorganized presentation of the corporation's identity. Signs are inconsistent, marketing materials are a mess and each of the seven division heads' business cards are completely different. He wants you to get right on the job--and please let him know how quickly you can pull it all together!
You are the director of marketing for a major airline that, over the past two years, has lost significant market share to several aggressive competitors. Current research suggests your carrier is being ignored by the business traveler. You also have observed that the plane's orange and brown markings are a little dated, check-in counters seem run-down, aircraft interiors look shabby and morale is plummeting. Your CEO wants a new program put into effect ASAP--refurbished planes and check-in counters in three months and definitive results by the end of the year.
As these hypothetical, but not unrealistic, situations suggest, managing an identity program is very different from running a business day to day, even though it affects all the of the organization. Why is managing a company's identity program so challenging? Identity is the keystone for all communications; depending on the size of the program, there can be thousands of details involved.
Corporate identity is an interrelated and comprehensive network of customer perceptions and corporate management of visible and invisible elements. Savvy managers understand that identity is a significant corporate asset. Identity includes:
* the image and reputation of a corporation or brand in the public mind;
* how a company maintains its mission and position to produce a unified, positive perception now and in the future; and
* how a company differentiates itself from competitors, including logos, packaging, letterheads and business cards.
A logical planning process allows a company or a brand to differentiate itself deafly from the competition by projecting the appropriate attributes and providing a framework for accurately monitoring the status of the identity over time. The most effective process creates a system in which future acquisitions, new products and services, promotions, advertising and facilities can be effectively integrated under one cohesive identity. A successful program increases employee pride and internal focus by emphasizing the company's personality and culture.
Media guidelines allow for consistent, positive presentation. The proper management of standards can create economies of time and money by simplifying the communications decision-making process. The results should be a sizable impact on advertising and promotion budgets, with greater bang for the buck. IBM, for instance--a company that produces more than 15,000 different pieces of sales promotional literature annually--addressed this issue by putting all its design standards, system templates and an interactive user's guide for its entire identity system on a CD-ROM and distributing it globally. …

A{}massive water main break in NW D.C. flooded a 30-foot exaction site and caused extensive damage to the ABC News Washington bureau. The water main was repaired by midnight and valves were back on with full water pressure by 5:10am Sunday.
The 20-inch main broke at around 4:30 a.m. Saturday and sent water gushing into the adjacent excavation at the construction site near Rhode Island and 17th Street Northwest.
"It's an old line," said George Hawkins, DC Water General Manager. "installed in 1897."
By mid-day, crews had drilled a couple feet underground to get to the main that needed to be replaced.
They also brought in sewer pumps to begin the process of removing the water from the excavation site.
A picture taken earlier in the day showed backhoes almost submerged in the water.
By midday, the construction equipment was completely underwater.
"You had some flooding down the street when it first happened," Hawkins said.
The ABC News Bureau was one of the nearby buildings affected.
Workers shot video that showed water pouring from the ceiling.
"It started going into our second floor studios and most of our studios took a lot of water. We dropped a lot of ceiling tiles," said Eric Olson, a facilities manager at ABC News.
"We just had every extra pair of hands we couldstarted moving everything out of there and we started just grabbing every trash can to start picking up water," he added.

Blue Ridge sound system equipment get upgrade
The sound system in the Blue Ridge auditorium is getting a much needed upgrade to its 15-year-old equipment.
The school board approved at its Monday, Feb. 4 meeting, a nearly $10,000 contract with RMS Audio/Video Solutions of Williamsport.
The company will install new main loudspeakers, new amplifiers and will re-wire the equipment rack to remove problem areas and improve the system's reliability.
RMS will also provide power sequencing for the control booth sound equipment, as well as, tune and balance the sound system and provide training classes.
Blue Ridge Business Manager Loren Small said the system should be in operation within six to eight weeks, prior to the high school's musical presentation of "The Sound of Music," planned for this spring.
Hallstead Borough Tax Collector Peggy Woosman had sent an appeal of a $20 late filing fee for the month of October 2012.
In the letter, Woosman explained that the deadline to submit the October monthly report fell on a Saturday (Nov. 10); and that normally a Monday postmark would be accepted as timely. November 12, 2012, however, was the date Veterans Day observed and therefore the report was not postmarked until Nov. 13.
In the letter, she said that because of the holiday the district should not levy the late filing fee.
The request to remove the late filing fee was not entertained by the board and the request for the appeal failed for lack of a motion by the school board.
The school board approved a request from the Blue Ridge Boys Baseball Booster Club to conduct a three-day trip for the boys' varsity team to Hedgesville, W.V., March 15-17. This will be the seventh year the team has taken this trip to scrimmage with other teams.
The board accepted, with regret, the resignation of Joan Kerr as a food service employee effective Jan. 8; and approved the hiring of Karen DeMartino as a food service employee, retroactive to Jan. 22.
An extended sabbatical leave for Susan Cawley, guidance counselor, was also approved.
The board also accepted, with regret, a letter of intent to retire from Diane Wilmarth, paraeducator, effective at the end of the school year.

Regret (dealers - corp doesn't seem to care)
Hi. I understand that online/corp stores are a separate entity from authorized dealers; however, I naively bought a phone on a day that the corp store was closed (5/9/10), but a dealer was open. Honestly, I didn't know which store was which & I wanted to switch from AT&T as quickly as I could. I had no clue that the costs of the exact same phones would vary so greatly between the corp web site and dealers until I went to pay my first bill early! I looked on the MetroPCS site and saw that the ph...

Hardcore 120W 3-channel tube head with high-quality reverb, FX Loop, and 3-band EQ per channel.
The 333 is cutting-edge, modern style amps fully featured for use in any situation or guitar style. The name says it all 3, 3, 3 ... three fully independent channels for three fully independent gain structures and tone stacks.
The totally Clean channel that won™t break up ... great for jazz, country, blues and also great as a fat, clean power base for players using external boxes for their OD and distortion.
The Crunch channel can work as a "halfway dirty" sound for rock and blues if you crank the volume and use the gain as your volume. It shines as the heavy rhythm channel for a metal rig if you crank the gain. The Lead channel has the same structure as the crunch channel but with access to more gain.
Each of these channels has its own volume feeding the overall master volume so you have total control over the level of each. The boost option of the FX loop allows you to set each channel at the same volume and then boost or cut the volume of the entire amp no matter what channel is selected - you can finally boost your rhythm or clean tone (yes, clean solos do happen).
The EQ section is called "HYPER-ACTIVE" because it allows for unlimited tone shaping and big scooped out metal tones via the midrange control. You have to hear this to appreciate how much more control you can get.
This is a closeout model, and does not feature Infinium technology.

- All-Star Cast: Patrick Stewart, Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne, Helen Mirren, Nicol Williamson, and Ciaran Hinds. This is actually an inversion, as none of them were especially big at the time, at least not in the United States, and Boorman chose them because they were relatively unknown and didn't want big stars to overshadow the production. Which makes this Hilarious in Hindsight.
- Dawson Casting: Nigel Terry was 35 playing Arthur from a teenager to a 20-to-30-something king, and then finally as an old man. Similarly, 29-year old Cherie Lunghi played Guinevere from teenager to full adult queen to an old woman living out the rest of her life in quiet misery as a nun.
- Deleted Scene: The original cut of the film was over three hours long. Among the many scenes that were lost was a scene (briefly glimpsed in the trailer) where Lancelot rescues Guenevere from a forest bandit.
- Real-Life Relative: Queen Igrayne and her grandson Mordred (as a boy) were played by John Boorman's daughter Katrine and son Charley. Another daughter, Telsche, played the Lady of the Lake.
- Throw It In: When Uryens knights Arthur with Excalibur, he's visibly trembling from emotion. In reality the actor was shivering from the cold; they were in the castle moat.
- What Could Have Been:
- A remake directed by Bryan Singer spent years in Development Hell until it was cancelled. Singer instead made the medieval-ish Jack the Giant Slayer and went back to the X-Men film franchise.
- Director John Boorman originally wanted to do a film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, compressing the trilogy into one very long film, but he couldn't get the rights to it so he made Excalibur instead. Reportedly his screen treatments sexed up Tolkien's story quite a bit, including but not limited to giving Frodo Baggins nude scenes with Arwen and Galadriel and having the House of Healing scene between Eowyn and Aragorn feel like a sex scene (as he planned to have Eowyn settle down with Aragorn, which reportedly was Tolkien's original idea). Generally the Arthurian myth sounds like it was better suited to him than Tolkien!

The rain tapered off for many of us this afternoon, and the bulk of the rain is now done falling. We will keep the clouds around and some isolated to scattered showers tonight into Wednesday, but we should not see any more major rainfall totals.
Now our focus in the short term shifts to Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The upper level low back to our west near El Paso, TX is moving in our direction. This low will pass directly over us late Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Now, in an upper level low, the center of it is full of colder air, and this cold air will pass over for about 6 to 12 hours. During this time, it will be cold enough and have enough moisture for some snow flakes to form and actually make it to the ground.
Now before you run out and buy every store out of milk and bread, we will be above freezing the whole time so the snow will not stick (not to mention we are WAY too wet and the ground is WAY too warm to stick anyway) and the snow should mix with rain as it falls.
The best chance for seeing snow mixing in will be along and east of Highway 15 with the absolute best chance of snow being along and east of Highway 17 (all of our Alabama counties). Snow and rain will end Thursday morning with skies clearing and full sunshine ahead into the middle of next week.
After we get the sun back, a major cold blast is on the way for the middle of next week. As of now, it is too early to say how cold, but it looks to be the coldest air of the season and could linger for a couple of days (no precipitation is expected though, so don't get your hopes up for snow).
