HTC HD2 exclusively on T-Mobile March 24
T-Mobile's hosting a special event in New York City on March 16th to lay to rest all the rumors swirling around the HTC HD2 launch date. We are expecting a March 24th release date according to a leaked roadmap, but a twitter post says it could be as early as March 23rd. The HTC HD2 is quite the monster, it's got a 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 4.3 inch high-resolution capacitive touchscreen, WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS, a microSD slot bundled with a 16GB card, and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash.

You Could Jump
With my arms wrapped tightly around Ryan's torso, I peer over the side of Sparky's large body. We've got to be at least a couple hundred feet off the ground, and, looking back, Janice still looks like she's going to be sick.
I bury my face in Ryan's shoulder, attempting to hide my satisfied smile. Ryan reaches back with his hand and pats my head. I breathe in deep and sigh.
"Are you sure there's nothing you can do to make this thing land?" Janice cries once more.
"You could jump," I suggest sarcastically. Her eyes go wide and then turn to disgust as she glares at me.
"Relax, Janice. It was a joke. I'm sure Sparky will touch down shortly. Amy and Joseph don't seem to be having a problem," I say passively, looking down at the nearing ground.
Ryan pats Sparky's neck again, and she narrows her lavender eyes. She shivers with pleasure and goes into a nose dive. Janice shrieks as if there's no tomorrow and clutches at my back, leaning over Amy.
Before I know it, though, Sparky is leveling out again and circling above a parking lot.

Valentine's Day Movies That Are Better Than 'Valentine's Day'
Garry Marshall's latest star-packed (one might say "star-stuffed") romantic comedy extravaganza, "Valentines Day," hits theaters this weekend, but is it really all that? Takeaway movie contributor and Newsday writer Rafer Guzman doesn't think so. In fact, he believes that for several of the film's major plot lines, there are other movies that do a much better job of covering the same ground.
For example, if you're looking for a better romance featuring older adults than Shirley MacLaine and Hector Elizondo's in "Valentine's Day," Rafer suggests you go out and rent "On Golden Pond." And if you're looking for a film that does the "you were right there all along" plotline (played out by Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher in "Valentine's Day"), Rafer thinks "Clueless" is your best bet.
Listen for the rest of Rafer's suggestions, and leave your own favorite Valentine's Day movies in the comments.

The aim of this work was to form NiTi and TiNiCo body temperature activated and superelastic staples for clinical joining of mandible and face bone fractures. The alloys were obtained by VIM technique. Hot and cold processing was applied to obtain wires of required diameters. The martensitic transformation was studied by DSC, XRD, and TEM. The shape memory effects were measured by a bend and free recovery ASTM F2082-06 test. The superelasticity was recorded in the tension stress-strain and by the three-point bending cycles in an instrument equipped with a Hottinger force transducer and LVDT. Excellent superelastic behavior of TiNiCo wires was obtained after cold working and annealing at 400-500 °C. The body temperature activated shape memory staples were applied for fixation of mandibular condyle fractures. In experiments on the skull models, fixation of the facial fractures by using shape memory and superelastic staples were compared. The superelastic staples were used in osteosynthesis of zygomatico-maxillo-orbital fractures.
Keywordsmaxillofacial surgery nitinol bone staples osteosynthesis shape memory alloys
NiTi shape memory alloys with a chemical composition consistent with ASTM F2063-05 have been approved as metal biomaterials and are used in production of medical implants and devices (Ref 1-3). Products of NiTi alloys exhibiting phenomena of shape memory and superelasticity are widespread in such applications as orthodontic archwires, staples for osteosynthesis, stents, endodontic and surgical instruments (Ref 4-6). These implants show good mechanical properties, high corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility (Ref 7, 8). It is well known that improvement of shape memory and superelastic properties can be achieved by ternary additions and thermal or thermomechanical treatments (Ref 9-12). The NiTi staples applied to internal osteosynthesis in orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery operate usually as the shape memory staples activated by patient body heat (Ref 13, 14). For fixation of craniofacial bone fractures, the NiTi staples that are superelastic at the room temperature can also be used (Ref 15).
The studied NiTi-based implants were prepared at the Institute of Materials Science at the University of Silesia. They were applied to osteosynthesis of craniofacial bone fractures in the clinical experiments carried out by Department of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery of Medical University of Silesia in Katowice. Staples made of Ti50Ni48.7Co1.3 obtained agreement of the Bioethical Commission to be used for fixation of mandible bone fractures and were applied in 1990-1995 in clinical applications (Ref 16). Positive results of experiments carried out first for animals and then in human body applications showed that the NiTiCo implants as small staples may be used, for example, for fixation of mandibular condyle fractures or osteosynthesis of zygomatico-maxillo-orbital fractures.
Recently, it was confirmed that the NiTi alloys with Co additions in the range of 1-2 at.% should be considered for future medical applications (Ref 17).
The aim of these studies was to form NiTi and TiNiCo body temperature activated and superelastic staples for clinical joining of mandible and face bone fractures.
Materials and Experiments
In the experiments two types of alloys were used: commercial NiTi Euroflex wires (Ti-50.8 at.% Ni) with diameters of 1 to 1.4 mm and wires made of TiNiCo alloys of our own production by vacuum induction melting. The melted ingots were homogenized at 900 °C for 48 h under vacuum of about 10−5 Torr and followed pack hot rolled on the shape mill at 900-800 °C to rods with diameters of about 4 mm. After removing surface oxides, the rods were rotary forged to about 2 mm diameters and subsequently hot or cold drawn in sintered carbides wire drawing dies to wires with various diameters.
Samples of the wires 70 mm long and of different diameters were polished, washed in distillated water, scoured in acetone, and then subjected to proper heat treatment. They were solution treated at 700 °C for 15 min, cooled down in iced water, and then annealed at the temperature range of 300-500 °C for 15, 30, and 60 min. The cold worked wires with total deformation of 20-50% were annealed in the range of 300-600 °C in air atmosphere. Short annealing times from 5 to 15 min were used. Colored oxide layers were removed by chemical etching in water solution of HF and HNO3.
X-ray phase analysis was carried out using Philips X'Pert diffractometer with graphite monochromator on the diffracted beam. Cu Kα1 radiation was used. Phase transformation courses were studied by the DSC-7 Perkin Elmer calorimeter in the temperature range −100 to +80 °C. Cooling and heating speed was 10°/min. Shape recovery was studied for the wires deformed at low temperature (in martensite state) by bend-free recovery according to ASTM F 2082-06 test (Ref 18). The superelasticity and shape memory properties were measured in the elongation tests using Instron 4469 machine and in cyclic three-point bending tests using self-constructed machine. Compression forces of the staples were measured using digital FG-5000A gage.
Results and Discussion
In the specimen annealed at 400 °C one distinguished peak was observed at about 40 °C on cooling and two wide, hardly separated peaks could be seen on heating between 10-40 °C. This proves that the transformation course is B2 ⇔ R ⇔ B19′.
Similarly, two stage transformations were observed for specimens annealed at 500 °C. Increasing the annealing temperature causes that the transformation occurs directly from the B2 to B19′ martensite phases. It is worth to mention that for the specimen annealed at 400 °C the characteristic temperatures are higher than for the wires annealed at 500 and 600 °C. This can be explained by interaction of recovery and precipitation of the Ni4Ti3 phase processes.
This is typical for the alloys deformed and then annealed with specific dislocation structure (Ref 22). The recovery process causes the dislocation cellular structure, i.e., in the specimen two regions can be distinguished: with low dislocation density—inside the cells; and high dislocation density—in the cell boundaries. The transformation occurs in these two regions at different temperatures.
Recently in the Department of Skull and Maxillofacial Surgery of Silesian Medical University in Katowice carries out research on the development in implementation of a new method of subcondylar mandible fracture fixation by means of NiTi shape memory staples.
Prepared NiTi shape memory staples with desired dimensions and properties after their laboratory studies were selected and applied for fixation of low subcondylar fractures of mandible of patients with multiple condyle mandible fracture (Ref 24). The superelastic staples were used for joining of zygomatic bone fracture.
NiTi staples which recover the desired shape under the influence of the human body heat can be prepared from the studied wires after cold drawing and annealing in the temperature range from 400 to 500 °C for 15-30 min.
After cold drawing with 40-50% deformation and annealing at 400 °C for 30 min very good superelastic properties of TiNiCo wires were obtained.
Staples from the wire of a small diameter can be used for fixation of bone fractures as superelastic staples which may be mechanically opened at a room temperature with a pincer and inserted into the drilled bone holes. Those staples we proposed for fixation of face bone fractures, for example: for fixation of zygomatic bone fracture or the Le Fort I face bone fracture.
The use of shape memory and superelastic staples instead of titanium plates and screws is easier and shortens the operation time.
The work was financially supported by the Polish Ministry of Education and Science within the frame of the project Nr N N507 296339.

I was pleased to learn, from a mailing of the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust which arrived last week, of the plans for a dedicated wildlife corridor to be established along the Severn Vale. The floods of 2007 which so badly hit Tewkesbury and parts of the city of Gloucester have evidently only been part of the growing pressures on the lower Severn, which has suffered degradation over the years that I have known it, since we came south in 1982. On flood plain areas of the Vale in those first years I could still find nesting snipe, a memorable sighting, which have not been evident for most of the later years.
The air of wilderness that the wide span of the great river in its lower course could give has also been rather reduced on riverbank walks in recent years. The annual eel migration, which generated a short-term trade and fights on the bank as rival net fishermen sought to win a stance from which to wield their scoop nets, has also reduced as the eels have failed to make passage across the Atlantic from the Sargasso Sea.
So there is a lot to recover in these ambitious plans for a dedicated wildlife corridor. The extremely difficult aims are made even more so because efforts have to be made to reconcile the recovery of historic wildlife with increased public access. An uncomfortable truth is that some wildlife is only comfortable in the absence of people. I think of Elizabeth Cameron and her pine martens at Onich on the shores of Loch Linnhe, who I visited a few years back. That population survives and flourishes because of the almost complete absence of human traffic on the rocky headlands and bluffs landward of her home. Draw your own uncomfortable conclusions.

text: CHICAGO, Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kindle Paperwhite eReader, with its patented built-in light, shines on many levels, according to The Viewpoints Blogger Reviews Panel. Viewpoints ( www.viewpoints.com), a leading consumer reviews and product rankings website, recruited the writers to review "the world's most advanced eReader" for Viewpoints and their own websites. The bloggers praised the Kindle Paperwhite's battery life, book selection, readability and design, while also noting drawbacks. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121119/CG15740-INFO) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120830/CG65482LOGO) Battery life Kathy Zucker is founder of Metro Moms Network, based in Hoboken, New Jersey, hard-hit by Hurricane Sandy: "I didn't expect to conduct the majority of my testing under disaster conditions ... 1 week without power during Hurricane Sandy + extensive reading = 50% battery life. It outlasted all my other devices, even the ones with backup batteries." After a month, none of the bloggers has yet re-charged the eReader, and for that reason, they highly recommend the Paperwhite for family vacations (it stores 1,100 books) or for any reader who travels regularly. Book selection The bloggers were just as impressed by Amazon's book selection, with some titles free. Sheila Hill, who blogs about motherhood at Pieces of a Mom, found a title on the Paperwhite she couldn't find on her Nook. "Let's be honest. Nothing compares to the vast Amazon library. I was surprised at the number of children's books that were available." Readability The Paperwhite display reduces glare in direct sun and allows reading in total darkness. "My husband is an "early to bed, early to rise" sorta guy; I'm a "night owl." I've always loved the ritual of reading a book before I fade out to dreamland, but I hated to turn on a light when the hubster was already sleeping. Enter Kindle Paperwhite, problem solved! Happy ritual restored!" says Jill Nystul of One Good Thing by Jillee, whose colorful site shares helpful, "how to" information. In fact, all eight blogs give high marks to the Paperwhite's readability. Parenting expert Lian Dolan of the Chaos Chronicles notes, "... if you love to read on the run, in the carpool line while waiting, on the sidelines during kids' practice, this is a good little device." Design Another exclusive feature of the Kindle Paperwhite is "Whispersync," which synchronizes your last page location, bookmarks, and annotations across all your devices.

Leaf Man (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards)) (original 2005; edition 2005)
by Lois Ehlert
Work details
Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert (2005)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Leaf man could be used with Kindergarten, first, or second grade as a read aloud book. The book can be used to teach main events. The leaves travel from place to place the main events are where the leaves travel, which is simple to understand. The book can be used in fourth grade to teach about leaves and changing of colors. First graders can use it as an independent reading book because it is a simple and short read.
This colorful story tells the tale of Leaf Man, who comes every autumn. Using real leaf images, readers are drawn into the bold and imaginative collage world of Lois Ehlert. Written in a poetic structure, this book is accessible for readers of all ages.
Teaching Connections: lyric analysis of the text, art lesson of creating leaf images with real leaves, nature walk to observe and collect real leaves from nature
This is a story that follows the path of a collection of leaves that takes the shape of whatever the author ponders. As the author wonders about the location of the leaves, the leaves take the shape of whatever is being pondered. The leaves turn into vegetables, turkeys, and more.
This book is kind of fun but took me a minute to understand. I can't seem to pin point the message of the book. Perhaps it's about the uncertainty of life and the direction that it takes you, or maybe it has no meaning at all. But I think this book is a lot of fun. I chose to read this book because the child I nanny for is on the autism spectrum and I saw her school aid reading this to her. I wanted to check out the book to see why she chose this book to read but I can't figure it out. Overall, this book is fun. I could see myself having children make different art out of collected leaves. It's fun to try to find the picture on each page.
I liked the creativity in using the leaves, but that's about it. I will say it would be a nice look through book in school if one's working on like a art project that involves leaves.
A fantastically illustrated book about the journey taken by the leaf man when Fall breezes arrive.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0152053042, Hardcover)
Fall has come, the wind is gusting, and Leaf Man is on the move. Is he drifting east, over the marsh and ducks and geese? Or is he heading west, above the orchards, prairie meadows, and spotted cows? No one's quite sure, but this much is certain: A Leaf Man's got to go where the wind blows.
With illustrations made from actual fall leaves and die-cut pages on every spread that reveal gorgeous landscape vistas, here is a playful, whimsical, and evocative book that celebrates the natural world and the rich imaginative life of children.
Includes an author's note and leaf-identifying labels.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:19:22 -0400)
A man made of leaves blows away, traveling wherever the wind may take him. On die-cut pages.

text:
Rion pressed his eye to the slammed door – Phillip was but an insignificant blot – and he turned, eyes flaring with excitement, and his heart pounded.
"I thought he would never leave us be!" he cried.
In two strides, Rion had crossed the floor and pulled Yakinos into a kiss. The man squirmed to begin with, before he had unbuttoned the constraining three shirt-buttons at his neck and fastened his hands around Rion's shoulders. With a leg still angled across his desk, Yakinos must have been in a little pain. No more than the usual anyway. His frosted breath was sweet with berries. A good choice.
With his free hand, and only after of the previous practice, Rion swept the desk of its dozen papers and various microcosms. Somewhere in the back of his mind, a glass smashed. They may have both had an education in Warfare, but right now that landed as the last thing on Rion's mind. Battle-plans could go to hell.
Between the patterns of Yakinos' lips lapping over his in wet waves, Rion said, "I am guessing that you did not have to be in the living room ten minutes ago."
"An hour later than…this, I said."
"Good." He arched an eyebrow at the same time as his elbow, though they never saw either movement, for both pairs of eyes tightened on each subsequent impact. When Rion opened his eyes, he fixed them on the other pair – two gems worth more than money.
Rion leant forward and stretched his leg up the other man's worn jeans as he pushed Yakinos onto the less-cluttered desk. Their bodies curved together in the downward fall; arms groped backs for support where none was even needed. Rion gasped and grinned as a dozen new thoughts came to him in wonderful, luscious bursts of pain.
Only then did his lover's expression mutate from strength to some fallen glance.
"Rion, no," Yakinos said at the edge of his breath, "we cannot do this now. Not with you brother –"
"And Phillip bothers me so much?"
Yakinos attempted a shrug, his body heavy under Rion's. Their chests rose and fell in unison. As they should.
"I only meant… Will he go penetrating further for answers now?"
Rion raised an eyebrow, but it appeared that the suggestion had been purely coincidently. Something inside of him sagged. On the other hand, something on the outside of him further pounded.
Rion cursed his lover's insidious charm. Yakinos didn't know exactly how lucky he was.
He threw his arms above Rion's head. His crystal eyes flared. "For Apollo! If you had only listened to me!"
"You blame me for Phillip's questions. He may be my brother, but in no way is he my responsibility.
"The Archer-Apollo sacristy –"
Rion could not take much of it. In agony with shame and lust, he pinned Yakinos to the desk. "Do be quiet!" Hands caressed jutting shoulder bone and the thin veil of his shirt. White did not suit the beast.
"No," wind-swept still, Yakinos tore one hand away from Rion's grip. As he tended his fringe again, a frown flexed over the classed features. "You spited me for a reason. You judged me and challenged me in front of your brother simply to wind me up. Is that not so?" He cleared his throat, voice dissolving to vocal silence once more. "Sometimes I wonder if this is not simply a game to you, to level me off against others, but to leave me begging for your touch."
Rion felt his adam's apple bob restrictively. As if he didn't trust his own voice! He stared into Yakinos' eyes. A fat lock cut across one eye and Rion scooped it away.
"Hicky, I…"
They panted together. "I don't want excuses."
Rion could have hit him! "What do you want?" He kept his hands flat on Yakinos' clavicle. The boy didn't struggle.
"I want to understand, Orion, why you push for a fight every time. Tell me."
Rion closed his eyes. Like a vase filling with water, chills ran up his body – and back down, hovering where they caused the most attention. Why did Hicky have to be so distracting, with his childish eyes and toned chest?
The moan floated into his ear, "please."
Words slipped from Rion's lips before he stopped their descent. What chance would he have had? "I require that control. I – I promise you I'm not playing a game."
Yakinos tried to shake his head, but they connected at too many points. Rion had his knee rested up against the desk, finding it the most comfortable position. When once, in fury, they had been half a metre apart, now desire's hypnotism held a magnet between them both.
Rion flushed. He hated turning pink, but he couldn't stop himself. The fire uncoiled, alive; and all parts were tingling.
It didn't matter again. He had forgotten that fighting made him soar in bliss – but that, beyond fighting, the bliss remained. Rion threw himself down onto Yakinos and their lips connected again, two sides pulsing as one creation.
"I love you," Rion said when he could breathe again.
It was as if someone had set a flame into Hicky's eyes. He beamed an idiot smirk, but his body told something more. Head back, he slid into position.
"I love you, too."
Rion closed his eyes again. He surprised himself by not being sick of the same movements, running over and over against themselves. Instead, the strange peace came; when his lips brushed Yakinos' this time, he took the warmth and changed the position of his hands, ready.
"Rion. Hey, Rion, stop."
Rion pulled away. He widened his eyes when he noticed both his hands at Yakinos' collar shaking. "What now?"
"I want to make sure Phillip won't –"
"Oh, enough with my brother!" Rion cried.
"Okay," Yakinos murmured. The pain spread clearly across his youthful features now. "As long as I can trust you that we will not leave him suspecting us of treason of the body. I have no time to waste."
"Well," Rion traced curl to curl along the boy's forehead, "not whilst I am in control."

Is there a reverse version of the upper lip lift to make the bottom lip fuller, lower, and create more bottom tooth show?
I would benefit from a bullhorn upper lip lift, the space between my nose and upper lip is too long and makes my upper lip too thin. However, if I got one, the space between my nose and top lip wouldn't be as even with the space between my bottom lip and chin, creating kind of a features-too-close-to-the-middle-of-face effect, as well as leaving my bottom lip the same size or smaller than the top. If I could pull my bottom lip away as well (gull wing?), it seems like it'd even all this out.
Doctor Answers 2
Lip Lift
Thank you for your question. You are referring to a lower lip vermillion advancement which will provide you with the desired result you would like. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Lower Lip Advancement
The lower lip procedure you are describing is well known and is a lower lip vermilion advancement. This is where a small strip of skin is removed and the vermillion of the lower lip is advanced downward.

How about "corpsiferous"? They're definitely carrying a corpse around, it just takss some effort on the part of the PC to extract it from its current awkward-for-eating "living" status.
xanthian, modulo odds of dropping a corpse, of course, so "corpsiferous" is another one of those Schroedinger's Cat thingies -- you don't know if the corpse is really there until you open some arteries; once you do or don't observe it, though, the waveform/lifeform has collapsed.
This is an easter egg from RGRN for anybody with humor ...

text: 000 FXUS65 KCYS 221720 AFDCYS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 1120 AM MDT Mon May 22 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today - Wednesday Night) Issued at 350 AM MDT Mon May 22 2017 Locally dense fog has developed over the I-80 summit early this AM in response to ample boundary layer moisture and fairly light wind across the area. Do not believe this will last all that long given model guidance showing a drying trend over the next few hours, and satellite signals already hinting at some erosion. This should not require an Advisory, but will continue to monitor trends. A vigorous upper-level shortwave was evident over eastern MT early this AM per morning WV satellite imagery. This feature is expected to move south across the area today, along w/ a surface cold front which was analyzed roughly along the Canadian border at 9z. Shower activity will increase through the day with dynamic support in the left exit region of a 100 knot H25 jet streak oriented from north- to-south across central WY and pronounced mid-level PVA. We should see a few thunderstorms as well, but the main question is just how many lightning strikes we will get in what may be a some-what weak CAPE environment. GFS soundings show less than 200 J/kg CAPE while the NAM suggests 500-1000 J/kg over most of the CWA. We will favor the NAM solution as higher instability values make more sense with cyclonic flow aloft and falling 700 mb temperatures with northerly flow post-fropa. We also decided to add a mention of small hail to the entire CWA for this afternoon/early evening as any given storm could produce pea sized hail w/ this cold and energetic system. We expect this most widespread activity between 21-03z with excellent dynamics interacting w/ low-level convergence along the cold front in the mid to late afternoon. The HRRR also suggests scattered-to- numerous coverage of showers/storms, so we have increase PoPs into the likely category based on HRRR output. Showers will decrease in coverage into the night as instability wanes and subsidence begins to increase behind the shortwave. A trend toward warmer and drier weather will commence on Tue, with the warmest day being on Wednesday as H7 temperatures climb to +10 to +12 deg C in response to upper-level ridging. One more weak mid level disturbance is still evident in the models on Tuesday, so we may see a few showers over eastern areas w/the lingering influence of cyclonic flow, but would not expect to see much. .LONG TERM...(Thursday - Sunday) Issued at 350 AM MDT Mon May 22 2017 The end of the week will feature a positively tilted upper trough moving slowly across the northwestern CONUS, and eventually across the central Rockies and High Plains through the weekend. A couple of embedded shortwaves will move over the forecast area in southwest flow Thursday-Saturday with a cold front dropping south across the area on Thursday morning. The front looks to hang up along the Laramie Range Thursday afternoon, so after an active morning due to an approaching shortwave and frontal passage, anticipate additional activity early afternoon as well along and near the lee of the Laramie Range. Instability looks to decrease quickly after frontal passage, but would not be surprised to see a strong storm or two late morning through early afternoon before the stable high pressure settles in. Otherwise, expect showers to continue across much of the forecast area in the later afternoon as energetic flow remains overhead, quickly diminishing by evening. Friday looks to be a typical post-frontal return flow day, so chances for showers and thunderstorms will be best along and west of I-25 through the day, with perhaps an expansion eastward into the panhandle in the evening depending on strength of llvl moisture advection and development of the llvl jet. The main trough and attendant cold front will sweep southeast across the area on Saturday, bringing another wet and stormy day. Conditions on Sunday are somewhat questionable at this stage due to differences in the speed of this trough between the GFS and ECMWF. The GFS is much slower than the EC, with another shortwave bringing a chance for afternoon showers. The EC is dry and mostly clear with high pressure building overhead. For now, split the difference and kept some PoPs in the forecast. Sunday night should clear out. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday morning) Issued at 1120 AM MDT Mon May 22 2017 A cold front will move southeast across the area through this afternoon. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will develop with the front and move southeast with associated brief periods of MVFR cigs and vsbys. Pcpn should end early this evening. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 350 AM MDT Mon May 22 2017 No fire weather concerns due to recent, widespread heavy rain/snow and cooler temperatures. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 225 PM MDT Sun May 21 2017 Concerns through the middle of this week will focus on runoff from the recent heavy precipitation into area creeks and streams east of the Laramie Range. Although flooding is not anticipated, many of the creeks and streams may reach bankfull by the middle of the week. Fortunately, cooler temperatures over higher elevations will continue this week, which should slow the snow melt and resultant runoff into the mainstem rivers. Will continue to monitor these water levels closely over the next few weeks. && .CYS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WY...None. NE...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...CLH LONG TERM...RJM AVIATION...RE FIRE WEATHER...CLH HYDROLOGY...MAJ

Live Leak
A new video shows a father beating the crap out of a man who he believes got his daughter high on crystal meth.
The angry Dad, named only as 'Joel', drags the accused through his home in the middle of the night and starts battering him.
Meanwhile, the mother tries to get a confession out of the alleged drug dealer, shouting:
You want to get our daughter high on meth, you m***** f*****? You ever touch our Monica Diamond again, you're gonna get worse than this.
The bloke tries desperately to protest his innocence, as he gets repeatedly punched in the head.
The whole thing is pretty brutal and, whatever the truth of the incident, I doubt this guy will be showing his face near that house ever again.
