We'll be updating this post with changes to the site. Check back often to find out what's going on. You can also read our overview of 5.2 changes and how they affect your gear. When you're ready, Mr. Robot is waiting to optimize your character!
Quick list of what's done (and what's not)
- Current issues being worked on (see below)
- Stat weights are in flux as SimC gets updated. Click here for details about each spec.
- Trinket procs are simulated, scored and ranked
- Set bonuses are estimated, as many of them are not implemented in SimC yet.
- Most 5.2 items and their sources are in, some of the Heroic Thunderforged items are still not showing up in game.
- You can find all sorts of new upgrades in the Upgrade finder (including Valor, new raid drops, etc)
- New 5.2 filters have been added to the options menu
Issues being worked on (and resolved)
- DONE 3/6/13: Ghostcrawler posted new trinket estimates. We are updating them, re-simulating them, and will have new scores in the optimizer shortly
- DONE 3/6/13: Ghostcrawler posted new legendary meta gem information. We are updating those and will have new scores in the optimizer shortly. Note, you can turn the legendary metas on/off in the options menu.
- DONE: 3/6/13: Fixed the Nimble and Confounded Jade gems
- DONE 3/7/13: Some trinkets have restrictions, like Gaze of the Twins will only proc for STRENGTH users. We are updating these restrictions.
- DONE 3/7/13: Added in new thunderforged items (and other items) as they show up in game
- ONGOING: Most recent stat weight updates: 3/7/13. Get updates on all of our stat weight changes here. (note, the blog post is slightly ahead of our next update, these changes will take effect later today).
- 3/6/13: We are separating out Mogu Runes of Fate from Elder Charms.
Stat weights
We're running new stat weights for every class and spec, and we use SimC to do this. Here's an in-depth look at how we generate stat weights and specifics about 5.2 stat weight updates for each class. Anyway, a lot of the classes don't have updated weights because there are some kinks in SimC that are still being worked on. They have a LOT of classes/specs to maintain and they are doing their best to get it all updated.
We have all of the LFR, Normal and Heroic 5.2 trinket procs simulated, scored, and ranked. We have the Thunderforged items scored and ranked if the item is showing up in-game - most of the Heroic Thunderforged trinkets aren't live yet. If you're wondering how we score them, you can read this blog post. Some trinkets, like Rune of Re-origination, are dependent on your personal stats. When you look at them in the ranked lists, Mr. Robot is using your stats to score the item. Be sure to brush up on how relative vs absolute ranking works in Mr. Robot's gear lists.
It looks like a lot of the 5.2 trinkets are struggling to beat out the 5.0 trinkets, so you might see a level 502 or even a 489 outscore a new 522 trinket. That's definitely possible - be sure to read the notes on each trinket if you question Mr. Robot's ranking. If you still think something is suspicious, post on our forums and we'll dig into it. If you need a little help to understand why a particular trinket is ranking high or low, hit us up on the forums too. Math is Mr. Robot's strong suit, so we're happy to translate math into words
Set bonuses
We simulate set bonuses in SimC and then turn the procs into relevant stats (much like we do with trinkets). However, since most of the set bonuses are not implemented in SimC yet, we just guestimated the set bonuses right now. We will update these with better estimates as more data is available.
If you want to ensure you have a 4pc bonus in your BiS list, you can lock the item in. Just click on the item you want to lock and it will open a gear list. Select the set piece and click the save button. That item will have a gray dotted line around it in the gear list now, which indicates that it is locked.
Thunderforged items
There's a new mechanic in 5.2: Normal and Heroic bosses can drop Thunderforged items, which are 6 iLevels higher than usual. That means they are level 528 (instead of 522 for normal) and 541 (instead of 535 for heroic). You will see it on the tooltips.
We are working with WoWDB on grabbing all of the items - both of us are scanning daily to get new items from the game. Most of the Heroic-Thunderforged items are currently missing from the game data. We will add them in as they show up.
Find upgrades for 5.2!
We have the "Find Upgrades" feature updated with all of the 5.2 content. If you're wondering what to spend valor on, we've got you covered. If you want to know what LFR Queues have the most upgrades, we've got that too. And of course, since there are new crafted items, Mr. Robot will also tell you which crafted items are upgrades.
Just click the 'find upgrade' button to get your lists. I'm sure you'll find Mr. Robot to be VERY helpful! It's like having a personal shopper - it never turns out bad!
5.2 Filters in the options menu
You can now select T15 Heroic gear, include/exclude Thunderforged items, and include/exclude the Legendary meta gems. This is in addition to all of the other neato options, so be sure to check out that menu.
Ready? Get Optimizing!

Waltham, Mass. — The son of longtime Boston Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy pleaded not guilty Friday to fatally stabbing his girlfriend a day after he was released from custody for allegedly assaulting her.
Jared Remy, 34, was arraigned in Waltham District Court on charges of murder and domestic assault and battery in the Thursday night killing of Jennifer Martel, 27.
Police officers responding to several 911 calls went to a Waltham apartment complex at about 10 p.m. Thursday and found Martel on an outside patio with multiple stab wounds, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said.
In court, prosecutors described a brutal and determined attack, saying Remy assaulted Martel in the kitchen, living room, on a stairway and then pinned her to the ground in the patio where he stabbed her several times. Neighbors who tried to help Martel were driven back when Remy slashed at them, Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Lisa McGovern told a judge.
Remy was arrested at the scene, his clothes soaked in the victim's blood.
On Wednesday, Remy had been released on personal recognizance in an open assault and battery case in which Martel was the alleged victim, Ryan said. The there was no active restraining order against him, she said.
Remy has a violent criminal history, including a total of 15 criminal charges since 1998, according to Waltham court records. He has been accused of assaulting five people — including four women — and was involved in at least three restraining orders, including one in which he was the plaintiff.
Remy was ordered held without bail. His attorney, Peter Bella, said he was trying to figure out what happened leading up to Martel's stabbing, pointing out that his client had what could be described as defensive wounds. He called her death a tragedy.
Martel's 4-year-old child in the apartment was unhurt and is now in the custody of state child welfare officials. It was unclear if Remy was the father, Ryan said.
Jerry Remy is a former Red Sox second baseman who has been a color analyst on team broadcasts on the New England Sports Network since 1988. He has struggled with health problems in recent years.
Jared Remy is a former Red Sox security staffer who was fired by the team in 2008 during a steroid investigation.
The Red Sox did not immediately return a call for comment, but NESN released a two-sentence statement lamenting the tragedy.
"All of us at NESN and the Red Sox, along with Jerry Remy, are filled with grief for everyone involved, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Jennifer Martel," the statement read.
NESN said later in a separate statement that Dennis Eckersley will fill in for Jerry Remy for games through next weekend. Network spokesman Gary Roy did not respond to calls and an email for clarification.

Adam Benge
RB | (5-11, 195, 4.55) | Northern Iowa
By Pro Football WeeklyNotes: Top high school long-jumper who had broad jump of 10 feet, 11 inches at Northern Iowa. Carried 108 times for 427 yards and five touchdowns and caught 12 passes for 121 yards in six games (three starts) as a true freshman in 1998. Started 10 times in '99, carrying 166-778-9 and catching 21-172. Sat out in 2000 for personal reasons and returned to start seven of 14 games in '01, when he carried 241-1,383-16, caught 10-41 and returned 25 kickoffs for 588 yards. Started all 11 games in '02, when he carried 271-1,133-6 and caught 14-103.Positives: Quick, athletic runner who has some make-you-miss ability. Could evolve as a return specialist and has the quickness to be a kick and punt returner.Negatives: Lacks size and strength. Benge is a narrow-based runner who is built more like a receiver or cornerback. Is a poor blocker who lacks power to run inside. Can't create his own hole and could not handle criticism in college.Summary: Might have a chance as a scatback or returner but he isn't big enough to be an every-down guy.* Player biographies are provided by Pro Football Weekly.

Star Lawyer Alan Dershowitz: 'Assange Is a New Kind of Journalist'
Alan Dershowitz has recently become part of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's legal team. He spoke with SPIEGEL about what the First Amendment has to say about WikiLeaks and the legal implications of social media's role in the Arab uprisings.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. "If they try to prosecute Assange for merely publishing material, we will have a very strong defense."
SPIEGEL: You have joined Julian Assange's defense team to cover "American aspects" of potential charges against him. What kind of criminal investigation are you expecting in the US?
SPIEGEL: That famous case gave media outlets like the New York Times the right to publish critical reports about the Vietnam War even though the administration saw them as a threat to national security. Can Assange be considered a journalist and have similar protection?
Dershowitz: Without a doubt. He is a journalist, a new kind of journalist. This is the Pentagon Papers case of the 21st century involving new media and a much more international form of journalism. The Internet knows no national borders. The US encourages the use of new media in countries such as Iran and Egypt, and we must make it clear to the government that it cannot apply double standards to the use of those media when it affects American interests. In any case, we do not believe that the US has jurisdiction over foreign individuals and entities such as Wikileaks that have never before been active in the US.
SPIEGEL: So the key issue in this case would be whether posting the secret information that Assange received is protected under freedom of expression or, as the US government would argue, a threat to national security?
SPIEGEL: The US administration has asked for access to the Twitter accounts of Assange and others. What precedent does this set in the online context?
Dershowitz: It raises very broad issues about a right of association. People associate over the Internet and some people want to associate anonymously, i.e. simply to be a recipient of material. That right of anonymous association has to be protected. There are analogous cases: Back in the 1960s, the state governments tried to get lists of members of the NAACP -- the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People -- at that time a controversial organization. The United States Supreme Court prevented state governments from getting those lists because they would hamper freedom of association and deter people from joining or associating with the NAACP. The same thing is true here. If the government can create lists of all people who have had contact with WikiLeaks, it will deter people from using social media in this way. This then has implications for Iran, for Egypt, and for the world in general. The Tunisian revolution began with Internet leaks and the Egyptian revolution began with anonymous Facebook postings. We want to make sure that this right is fully preserved in the US as well.

I was just told by an oil change shop that my power steering fluid was dirty and needed to be changed. Since I did not see this listed in the maintenance schedule from the mfg I wanted to see if this was common to replace or if it was symptomatic of a larger issue with the power steering in my car.

Now the naysayers are taking potshots at the parking garages for light rail. A May 26 story reported "Proposed parking garages criticized." I am really tired of all the criticism that has been leveled at the Columbia River Crossing. I have been waiting since 1995 for light rail. We have been arguing about it for 15 years now. What is the problem, Vancouver? I just don't get it.
I have never met anti-tolls activist David Madore, but I don't appreciate his one-man campaign to kill the new bridge, which we so badly need, and to kill light rail, which would link us to the entire Portland metro area with modern convenient transportation.
Mostly what I resent is the negativity directed at this worthy project — a new bridge with light rail. Let's quit bickering about it and let them start building it. I don't really care whether there are tolls or not. Let's get moving.

X-Art - Anneli, Ivy (The Masseuse)
Anneli's boyfriend 'Dennis' is a masseur (I made a mistake and named this video 'the masseuse' which would indicate a girl gives the massage, but I just remembered it's 'masseur' for a boy and already rendered the video, so it has a funny title LOL!)
Anyway, continuing: Anneli's boyfriend is a 'masseur (for real, I'm not making this up). One evening he is called to give a massage to a gorgeous, young brunette. He asks her to his apartment, knowing Anneli will be home soon and that she really likes girls too.
The brunette 'Ivy' walks in , she disrobes and slips out of her white cotton panties and tank top; Dennis is happy to see that she has a perfect body. Anneli arrives home shortly after they begin the massage, Ivy is already extremely relaxed on the table. Anneli motions to Dennis to go a little further and see what happens, so he moves his fingers and eventually his mouth between Ivy's legs.
Ivy responds favorably and indicates she wants more, at this point Anneli jumps in the action and together they suck Dennis' cock until he can't stand it. He then enters both of them from various positions.
The video ends with Dennis taking Ivy from behind. He has a strong orgasm while Anneli masturbates and watches. This turns her on the most, she loves to watch her man with other women.
Don't you wish you had a girlfriend like Anneli? Watch the video and find out all of the reasons why!

NEW YORK — In a move that further underscores The Jones Group's strategy to boost its design ranks, the company tapped George Sharp for the newly created position of executive vice president of design.
This story first appeared in the June 26, 2012 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Sharp's role will extend to all brands within Jones' portfolio, which include Brian Atwood, Rachel Roy, Kurt Geiger, Stuart Weitzman and Robert Rodriguez, as well as Jones New York, Nine West and Anne Klein.
Sharp just recently resigned from his role as creative director and executive vice president of design at St. John Knits. Before joining the Irvine, Calif.-based St. John, the English native was vice president of design at Ellen Tracy here. Prior to that, he worked at Escada and Rena Lange in Munich.
Asked what appealed to him about Jones, Sharp cited the potential of the apparel and nonapparel brands within the portfolio as well as Jones president and chief executive officer of branded business Richard Dickson and chief creative officer Stefani Greenfield. "They are both so dynamic and positive and I love the direction they bring to Jones," he said.
Spearheaded by Dickson, Jones has embarked on a strategy to import talent that can help boost design innovation across the brands, and transform Jones from a category-centric to a brand-centric operation.
Sharp joins Jones' fashion office, which the company established earlier this year with hires such as Wendy Hirschberg Clurman as Jones New York's vice president and fashion director, Danielle de Marne as vice president and fashion director of designer and contemporary brands and Amanda Ross as Anne Klein's consulting fashion director.
Greenfield, who joined Jones last fall with a strong merchandising background, said she was looking for talent to help her work with the design teams. "Design and merchandising go hand in hand," she said, "So I needed my other hand." She lauded Sharp's "sophistication, creative energy and kindness," and already has a specific project earmarked for him.
"We are launching two new brands next year that he is really going to spearhead," she said, adding that Sharp will oversee the introductions from soup-to-nuts, including their conception through to the realization. He is expected to play an instrumental role in building the new labels' teams, and oversee such areas as product development, fittings and execution. Greenfield declined to disclose many details on the new brands, other than to say that they are being developed with a retailer, and are slated to be unveiled for the second quarter of next year.

'The Trio at The Abbey' offers variety of specialty houses
In the time it took Dana Galiga and Teresa Pope to envision, manage and produce the 2013 Symphony Show House event, they could just about have built the three houses from scratch.
Galiga and Pope serve this year as co-chairmen of the Oklahoma City Orchestra League's annual event, dubbed "The Trio at The Abbey" at The Abbey in Fairview Farm. The fundraiser opened last weekend and continues with the homes open daily through May 19.
The homes are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays to Fridays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $15 at the door as well as numerous retailers. See www.symphonyshowhouse.com/.
The Symphony Show House, in its 40th year, is a major fundraiser for the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, with a goal this year of raising $200,000, Galiga said.
With more than 11,000 square feet to fill in three new homes — that's 72 indoor and outdoor spaces, custom designed by 38 designers — where did Pope and Galiga start?
At the end of the 2012 Symphony Show House. Plans for the next show house start "pretty much the day after" an event closes, said Cindy Raby, Orchestra League president.
At first the job seems impossible, Pope said, "Then you just do what needs to be done."
The pair agreed that it had been a year of late-night consultations — and that they were grateful for unlimited texting plans.
If there was ever a blueprint for tackling the show house, Galiga and Pope had to redraw it when the board was approached by developer Mark Gautreaux with an offer of not one, not two, but three show houses.
Galiga said they knew right away the triple home plan would be a hit.
It also meant triple the possibilities for private events such as evening parties to weddings, she said.
The three custom homes that make up "The Trio at The Abbey" include the Traditional, a 4,208-square-foot, two-story home at 1401 NW 158; the Contemporary, a 4,590-square-foot home with a large finished basement at 1501 NW 158; and the Italian, the smallest of the three at 2,646 square feet, at 15820 Chapel Ridge Lane.
The Italian home has a stone exterior and an interior featuring exposed, carved wood ceiling beams and hand-scraped floor planks that gives the place the feel of a Mediterranean cottage. Gautreaux described it as "all the quality we can deliver" at a more manageable scale.
The home welcomes visitors first into its Salotto Comodo — "cozy living room" — an inviting den or library just inside the front door where J. Mark Taylor of Traditions Fine Furniture & Design has surrounded the stone fireplace with plush armchairs and a rustic sofa accented with soft lighting and soothing, earth tone colors.
The kitchen, described as "Tuscan" by designer Kat Daggs of Bob Mills Furniture, incorporates appliances and workspaces to suit the professional chef along with a cozy island bar for dining or conversation.
The home flows unobstructed from kitchen to living room under a 20-foot vaulted ceiling. Daggs extended the rustic and casual look of the kitchen into this family area, featuring a leather sofa with bright silk pillows and iron lamps.
The master suite, with its "Renaissance Retreat" bedroom and "Bellisimo Bath" has been realized with old world charm and style by Crystal Carte of Carte's Interiors.
Full-length draperies and intricate bedding, along with antique furnishings, give the bedroom a European feel.
The master bath, which also features antique elements along with luxurious touches — from Travertine floor covering that extends to the shower and the tub surround — earns its "bellisimo" tag.
Even for a downsizing homeowner, the Italian home offers ample and luxurious space for guests in a suite designed by Susan Tiffin Interiors to maximize comfort and relaxation in a smaller space.
Tiffin's guest bath extends the feel of the adjacent bedroom and includes warming fabrics and textures combined with antique accessories.
Across the garden and a quiet lane from the Italian home, the Traditional home includes The Boutique at The Abbey, offering carefully chosen gifts, home decor and jewelry items.
Next door, the Contemporary home features The Abbey Cafe, where lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily and noon to 2:30 p.m. Sunday

Sheamus congratulates Galloway
A post on Twitter where WWE star Sheamus congratulates Drew Galloway for winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Matt Hardy.
March 16, 2016
Sheamus injures arm
Since he was spotted wearing a cast over his arm, the internet wrestling community was quite curious as to how Sheamus was doing. Reports have now surfaced that the cast was simply a precaution. The former world heavyweight champion is dealing with tendon issues in one of his arms. WWE still has plans on using him on television, but he's not going to be very active because they don't want to risk not having him at Wrestlemania.
January 28, 2016
Sheamus and Stormtrooper
WWE TLC odds against Roman Reigns
While much of the internet wrestling community has been predicting that Roman Reigns will recapture the WWE Heavyweight Championship at TLC, odds makers feel the opposite. Right now, Sheamus is a heavy favorite at -750. Odds on Reigns are +450. The belief is that the Celtic Warrior is going to keep the belt so that he can build up more momentum as a heel champion. That helps Roman in the long run.
December 12, 2015
John Morrison gets title shot
Five years ago, John Morrison defeated Sheamus in a ladder match at TLC to earn himself a shot at the world heavyweight championship. He received that title shot on episode of Monday Night Raw that took place on January 3, 2011. Morrison lost to his former tag team partner, The Miz, in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Today, Morrison wrestles for Lucha Underground and does movies.
December 11, 2015
Roman Reigns reaction improving
One of the reasons why WWE put the world heavyweight championship on Sheamus is because they want the fans to root for whoever he is up against. The Celtic Warrior does a pretty decent job of generating heel heat. Plus, a lot of fans aren't keen to the idea of him being in the top spot. Management has noticed that the reaction to Roman Reigns has been a bit warmer because of it.
November 24, 2015
MITB winner cooled off
When Sheamus cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase at Survivor Series and stole the WWE Heavyweight Championship away from Roman Reigns, fans complained that the Celtic Warrior did not have enough momentum for the role. However, it now appears that management purposely wants to cool off the MITB winner so that it would feel more like a surprise when they do get elevated into the top spot.
November 24, 2015
Sheamus wins WWE title
In case you missed the Survivor Series last night, Sheamus cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and captured the WWE Heavyweight Championship just shortly after Roman Reigns defeated Dean Ambrose in the tournament finals. Well, reports have now surfaced that the decision to do that was made just a couple of hours before the pay per view started. Management was still debating the idea all day long.
November 23, 2015
Sheamus denies boy band member
While doing a promotional appearance to promote the WWE tour of Europe, Sheamus revealed a rather interesting tidbit about his past. The former world heavyweight champion stated that he once prevented Nicky Byrne from entering a night club because he was underage. When questioned about the denied entry, Sheamus told his girlfriend that he doesn't know Byrne because he does not follow boy bands.
November 5, 2015
Sheamus title belt
Rumors are floating around right now that Sheamus is almost set to become the world heavyweight champion because there are images of a custom made belt being passed around through social media. While WWE may have plans to eventually move the Celtic Warrior back into the main event scene, the photos of the belt are edited by fans. They are not real and not made by the company.

WELL. This thread could have been useful today.
My site is named Veekun. I'm just Eevee.
I found the trainers entirely by accident and pulled them while I was in the neighborhood. There are second frames for some trainers: http://stuff.veekun.com/hgss-trainers.tar.gz. I don't think there are any other frames; the only other files in that archive were a sheet of overworld sprites, a NCER, and a NANR per trainer.
Still hunting for Pokémon overworld sprites. Admittedly I'm hardly an expert and slogging through with hand-rolled tools, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone beat me to the punch.
The sequential filename thing is incredibly annoying.
My name is actually "Eevee". Turns out that's taken on a lot of Pokémon forums. Surprise!

A deadly storm system that buried parts of Wyoming and South Dakota in heavy, wet snow also brought powerful thunderstorms packing tornadoes to the Great Plains that caused millions of dollars in damage.
A deadly storm system that buried parts of Wyoming and South Dakota in heavy, wet snow also brought powerful thunderstorms packing tornadoes to the Great Plains that caused millions of dollars in damage.
The storm dumped at least 33 inches of snow in a part of South Dakota's scenic Black Hills, National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Helgeson said Friday afternoon. Later in the day, thunderstorms rolled across the Plains, and witnesses reported seeing tornadoes in Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. There were no reports of deaths from any of the tornadoes.
Earlier in the day, snow was blamed for the deaths of three people who were killed in a traffic accident on snow-slicked U.S. 20 in northeast Nebraska.
Forecasters said the cold front would eventually combine with other storms to make for a wild, and probably very wet, weekend for much of the central U.S. and Southeast.

Some of the greatest damage from tornadoes seemed to be in Wayne, Neb., a town of 9,600 where witnesses said at least four homes were destroyed. Mayor Ken Chamberlain said all of the residents in town were accounted for, but the storm caused millions of dollars in damage to an area that includes businesses and the city's softball complex.
At least 15 people were hurt in Wayne, but Chamberlain said none of the injuries was considered life-threatening, Chamberlain said. Seven of the injuries stemmed from two separate automobile accidents.
In Iowa, the state's Iowa Department of Homeland Security said a mile-wide tornado touched down near the town of Cherokee, cutting a 2- to 3-mile path through farmland but missing any population centers.
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service said they were still trying to figure out exactly how many twisters touched down Friday evening from storms that also brought large hail and heavy rain.
The snow in South Dakota prompted officials in Deadwood to postpone their annual Octoberfest, including Friday night's dancing-and-singing pub crawl and Saturday's Wiener Dog Races and Beer Barrel Games.
Julie Lee said she and fellow members of her White Rose Band were accustomed to snow, just "not for the fourth of October." They had barely unloaded their instruments in the Old West casino town of Deadwood before the wet, heavy snow started falling and closed part of Interstate 90, the area's only interstate.
"Our car is like an igloo," said Lee, who sings and plays the clarinet and saxophone for her North Dakota-based polka band. "I'm glad we got everything out."
Officials were warning drivers to stay off the roads in the Black Hills and in eastern Wyoming, where reports of 5 to 10 inches of snow were common. Forecasters urged travelers to carry survival kits and to stay in their vehicles if stranded.
"I've lived in Wyoming my whole life and I've never seen it like this this early," Patricia Whitman, shift manager at the Flying J truck stop in Gillette, said in a telephone interview. She said her truck stop's parking lot was full of travelers waiting out the storm.
"I know several of the businesses nearby are completely closed because they can't even get workers into work – it's pretty nasty," she said.
The snow also snapped tree limbs that knocked out power lines in parts of the state, causing thousands of people to lose power.
By Friday night, South Dakota officials had closed I-90 from the Wyoming border to Murdo. And no travel was advised in Rapid City, where first responders were overwhelmed with calls for stuck vehicles and downed trees and power lines making some roads impassable. Police spokeswoman Tarah Heupel said snow and ice was accumulating on traffic signals, making the lights difficult to see.
Although early October snowfalls aren't unusual for the region, a storm of such magnitude happens only once every decade or two on the Plains, National Weather Service meteorologist Steve Trimarchi said.
"I couldn't say when the last time we've had one like this. It's been quite a while," Trimarchi said.
The cold front is moving slowly east and expanding south and will meet up with the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen on Saturday or Sunday, after that storm makes landfall along the Gulf Coast.
Though much of the Midwest and Southeast may get soaked, it won't be as devastating as past combination storms, such as Superstorm Sandy, said William Bunting, operations chief at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. Sandy resulted from the merging of cold fronts and a tropical storm.
The Midwest, especially Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, are at most risk for large thunderstorms, tornadoes and hail, "perhaps baseball-sized hail," Bunting said.
On Thursday night, a tornado that touched down damaged homes and businesses in several communities, knocked out power and toppled trees. No injuries were reported.
The storm system also blanketed Colorado's northern mountains with snow.
Associated Press writers Grant Schulte in Lincoln, Neb., Seth Borenstein in Washington, D.C., Chet Brokaw in Pierre, S.D., Steve Paulson in Denver and Bob Moen in Cheyenne, Wyo., contributed to this report.

You know who sucks? People who say 'Suck'
I've come to the conclusion that there are two types of people in the world:
Those who throw around the word suck, and those who don't.
The fact that I feel this even needs mentioning should be a clue that I belong in the latter category. Maybe this makes me an old fogey, or even a bluenose. It certainly puts me at odds with every short-tempered chump on the internet and sports talk radio.
But I care what words come out of my kids' mouths, especially when those words (and other mild profanity) get me called in to talk with the counselors at school. When I dandled my little poppets on my knee many years ago by the light of the peat fire, I was confident my guiding hand would keep them from swearing like truck drivers. What I didn't know was that a constant current of mildly vulgar profanity would become everyone's daily experience.
The word certainly is getting heavy use in pop culture. Dennis Leary's Why We Suck. A girls' math primer from Danica McKellar (innocent Winnie Cooper of "The Wonder Years"!) called Math Doesn't Suck. Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You (which brings up but selfishly avoids the question of what our lives are like with her). Within a year or two, I think it will manage to work its way into TV sitcoms, like "pissed" and "crap" have (two other words that brought us into the school meeting).
The word is coarse, urgent, flip, sort of edgy to some. Of course, its constant use has made it seem commonplace, even acceptable. Soon its derivation and provenance will begin to fade, and it will just come to mean the same thing as stink.
But the source of the word's power is there and can't be denied. When I've tried to correct kids and teenagers about using suck in front of me, I'll get a blank look. "Why? What's wrong with it?"
"Here's what's wrong with it," I say. "Back in the day, something didn't just suck. In order to be really lousy, it had to suck … something. Private body parts, mostly. Eggs. Donkeys. Dead bears."
It is priceless how their mouths will drop open from this bit of candor. They'd never thought about it before. Then, of course, they phase me out and go on their merry way, but at least I got through for the tiniest moment.
The next time you feel like saying something sucks, think for a minute what it is or might be sucking. Hold that picture in your head for a while. Think of that glorious turn of phrase, when we used to describe this action working on "the big one."
Then think of another word that doesn't suck the dignity out of the English language.

THE OKLAHOMAN You're viewing an article from The Oklahoman's newsroom. Print subscribers have Full Access to a premium experience at Oklahoman.com.
More than 30 years after con man Coy Everett bilked 650 investors out of about $29 million, the fraud remains the single largest oil and gas investment scam in the history of Central Oklahoma.
After serving two lengthy prison terms, first for the oil and gas scheme and later after conviction on charges of theft and fraud, Everett, 58, has returned to prison for a third time.
He was convicted of embezzling money in 2011 from the town of Hominy in Osage County, where he served as public works director after his second release from prison.
Everett worked for Hominy, a town of about 3,500 people, for more than a decade before city staff discovered he had forged five or six checks for about $33,000 over a period of about a month, Hominy City Manager Tex Bayouth said.
Bayouth's predecessor hired Everett to work at the town's wastewater treatment plant soon after his release from Dick Conner Correctional Center in Hominy. Over a period of several years, Everett worked his way up to become the head of the community's public works department.
A regular churchgoer in Hominy, Everett was well liked at work and was open about his past run-ins with the law, Bayouth said.
"He was very intelligent — very knowledgeable," Bayouth said. "He didn't mind sharing about his past; he was active in his church and would give his testimony about it."
Everett, a former high school football star in Shawnee, was only 27 when his $29 million fraud was uncovered in 1981 by state securities regulators. He promised investors returns of up to 150 percent for involvement in his two companies, Freedom Energy Corp. and CSC Oil Co.
However, the companies never turned a profit and the venture evolved into a Ponzi scheme, according to newspaper archives. Everett bought only a handful of oil and gas leases and spent most of his time trying to lure in new investment money. The scam grew as Everett had to continue to bring on new investors to pay earlier backers of the fraudulent companies.
In a court affidavit admitting his guilt, Everett said he never put much of his investors' money back into his companies for legitimate business purposes, but instead used the ill-gotten funds to prop up a facade of success.
"So long as I was able to encourage even larger numbers of people to participate in my ventures, I could maintain the image of a successful businessman operating a growing and profitable enterprise," Everett said in the affidavit. "Every time that I would return a so-called profit to a participant in my programs, I became much deeper in debt."
Everett pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 1982 and was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison.
Records show that Everett was released from prison on probation in 1989, but quickly ran afoul of the law again. In 1992, he was charged with writing $50,000 in payroll checks to himself from an Oklahoma City staffing company that hired him after his release from prison.
The fraud earned Everett a second stay in prison, at Dick Conner Correctional Center in Hominy, where he worked at the city's wastewater treatment plant on a work release program until his parole in 1999.
Everett had worked for Hominy for 11 years in 2010 when bookkeepers discovered that Everett had forged a number of checks from the town's accounts.
Although Everett had already paid the money back by the time the forged checks were discovered, Hominy turned the case over to the district attorney's office.
"I was very disappointed when we found out — he resigned immediately." Bayouth said.
These days, Everett is an inmate at Jess Dunn Correctional Center in Taft, serving a 20-year sentence for forgery.
Everett will be eligible for parole again in 2016, when he will be 61.

Top 10 Bourbons
Cheers to the American Spirit
Best Bourbon Whiskey
In 1963, Congress declared bourbon "a distinctive product of the United States." Long before that, though, bourbon had become as all-American as baseball and apple pie. The no-fuss drink, with its unique blends of corn, rye, barley and wheat, can be enjoyed anywhere — in a line dancing bar on a hot summer night or at a posh lounge in the big city. For 50 years, bourbon has been recognized as a reward for hard work and a celebration of individuality. Cheers to the American spirit!

Some are extra-special, and have needs that go beyond the scope of normal pet care. For pets in loving homes, getting these needs met can be challenging at best. When these pets end up homeless, it's often impossible. Pets with Disabilities in Prince Frederick, MD, gives animals who have been injured through trauma or disabled by illness the time, care and attention they need — often for the first time in their lives. The animals in their care include cats who are FIV-positive or blind and dogs who are deaf, paralyzed or missing a leg — and pets with just about every condition in between. Not only does Pets with Disabilities nurture the pets in its care, it also lists adoptable special-needs pets for other shelters, rescue groups and veterinarians. The group also offers support to the families of these special pets, including advice on pet wheelchairs and an active message board. Pets with Disabilities is more than a rescue and adoption agency — it's a lifelong source of hope and support for the pets and their adoptive families.

The Camas boys soccer team did not want to take its chances in a shootout and went for the win.
The Papermakers got it.
They earned a return trip to the 3A state tournament with a 2-1 win over Bonney Lake on Saturday at Doc Harris Stadium.
Roldan Alcobendas scored in the 75th minute off an assist from Wyatt Brown to break a 1-all tie.
Camas coach Roland Minder said Bonney Lake was a feisty team that "never let us get into rhythm."
As a result, Minder said he decided to go on attack in the closing minutes.
"It's never good to go into a shootout, so I said we want to win it now," he said.
Brown switched position to create space, dropped a ball back to Alcobendas who launched a 28-yard blast that, according to Minder, bent the Bonney Lake goalkeepers' hands back.
Nathan Beasley had the first Camas goal in the 24th minute.
Bonney Lake tied the match in the 54th minute.
Next for Camas is a 7 p.m. Tuesday state match against Bishop Blanchet of Seattle at Doc Harris Stadium.
Mountain View 6, Decatur 4 — Ngawang Choephel scored two goals and assisted on two as Mountain View won the 3A bi-district match at Highline Stadium.
Mountain View advances to the state tournament to play at Lakeside of Seattle.
Choephel's second goal game with five seconds to play in the first half to give the Thunder a 4-1 lead.
Fabian Celestian and Foster Langsdorf each scored two goals for the Thunder.
Coach Jeff Brooks pointed out that in its last seven matches, Mountain View has outscored its opponents 34-6.
"We've been playing very solid the last seven games," he said.
Prairie 2, Foss 1 — The Falcons earned their first trip to state in three years with the bi-district win at Auburn Memorial Stadium.
Igor Shapoval scored both Prairie goals, the first off an assist from Blake Dufault in the 46th minute, and the second with an assist from Joe Semro in the 78th minute to break a 1-all tie.
Prairie coach Mike Mikelson said his team has been a second-half team all season.
"Our kids are fit and don't give up until the final whistle," he said. "Foss is a good team and outhustled us. We have some work to do before our next game."
Prairie will travel to play Mercer Island.
Hazen 2, Columbia River 1 — Columbia River's season came to end with the loss to Hazen at Highline Stadium.
Ryan Hallquist scored the Chieftains goal in the second half off an assist from Kevin Thurston.
Skyview 3, Federal Way 2 — The Storm got the early jump on the fifth-ranked Eagles then held on in the end to clinch their first 4A state tournament berth since 2009.
Carter Johnson scored on an assist from Austin Horner early in the match to give the Storm the key 1-0 lead. Horner assisted on a goal by Bobby Hutchin to give Skyview a 2-0 lead.
After Federal Way cut the margin to 2-1 before halftime, the Storm struck first in the second half when Horner scored off a long kick by goalkeeper Evan Laws for a 3-1 lead.
Federal Way cut the margin to 3-2 on a penalty kick which resulted in a red card for one of the Storm players. Skyview played the final 15 minutes a man down.
"The team played outstanding," Skyview coach Jenn Johnson said. "Federal Way is a tough team. But we knew what we needed to do, and everyone played their role."
