This school was a Wizarding educational institute located in Brazil. Bill Weasley once had a pen-pal who attended this school who wanted him to participate in a student exchange program. The Weasley family, however, was unable to afford the costs to cover the trip, and so the pen-pal, offended, sent Bill a cursed hat in response, which made his ears shrivel up.

Everyone knows that slowing down in a NASCAR race is not usually the winning strategy. However, that is exactly what Clint Bowyer and his No.15 Michael Waltrip Racing team did to capture their first Chase victory of the season in Charlotte last Saturday night.
After qualifying in the Top 5, Bowyer definitely had the horsepower to race for the win. Unfortunately, late caution flags turned the event into a fuel-mileage struggle and the young driver never got a chance to show what he had under the hood.
"To have an engine under your hood that can perform like it did qualifying in the Top 5, then to also have fuel economy to not have to pit late," said team owner Michael Waltrip after the race. "I think a lot of people need to look at what our manufacturer has done for our organization."
Bowyer's win not only put him in Victory Lane but also put him back into the championship picture as he moved to within 28 points of Chase leader Brad Keselowski.
"You have a setback where we all get wrecked at Talladega, it's easy to get down and get bummed out," commented Bowyer on his title hopes. "To be able to come back here and get all three cars back in the Top 10, to win this race, really set the standard of getting on down the road and putting that behind us."
Keselowski also tried the fuel mileage strategy but wasn't as fortunate as Bowyer as he ran out of gas attempting to stretch the last stop. That move sealed his fate for this event and he came home with an 11th-place finish.
Denny Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson were close behind Bowyer at the finish and both were on the same fuel strategy as the race winner.
"We knew what he was doing and we saved the fuel that we needed, and we slowed down just enough to finish second," said a curious Hamlin after the race. "It'll be interesting to see how much fuel we had left and whether we could have cut the reins a little bit sooner and passed the 15. We just needed one more lap."
Johnson on the other hand admits he is not very good at saving fuel but managed to make it all the way to third place.
"You argue with yourself lap-after-lap how hard to go, how much fuel you're using, then you're wondering if you used too much or not enough," commented Johnson on his thoughts over those last few laps. "It's just a big head game."
Bowyer actually ran out of fuel during his victory celebration and had to be pushed to victory lane.
When asked how much fuel he had at the end, Bowyer sheepishly said, "About a burnout full."
Fuel mileage races don't often excite many race fans but Saturday night produced a truly dramatic finish. It was interesting to see so many teams on several different strategies with the possibility of the top three running out of gas on the final lap. That's what makes NASCAR so unpredictable and the Chase so exciting.

Liberty Scores 3-1 Win Over Georgetown in Home Opener
Behind a balanced attack and effective blocking, Liberty downed Georgetown, 3-1 (25-22, 25-23, 22-25, 25-16) on Tuesday night in its home opener at the Vines Center.
The Lady Flames (1-3) picked up their first win of the season, Tuesday. It was the 700th win in program history, and 175th victory for 10th-year Liberty Head Coach Shane Pinder. Dating back to last season, Liberty has now won 15 home matches in a row. The Hoyas' record evened at 2-2 with the loss.
Liberty outhit Georgetown, .269 to .212, on the evening, while the Lady Flames held a 13.5-6.5 advantage in blocks. The Hoyas led in aces, 6-3, and in digs, 67-63.
Lillie Happel led Liberty with season highs of 17 kills and 10 digs, for her 27th career double-double. Happel is now 14 kills away from 1,000 for her career. Jade Craycraft tied her career high with 10 kills in addition to 42 assists and five blocks, giving her 25 career double-doubles.
Kendle Rollins totaled 11 kills and seven blocks, and is now in sole possession of sixth all-time at Liberty with 325 career blocks. Gabrielle Shipe collected a season-high 23 digs, while Susan Babcock chipped in a season-best 11 kills. Nzea McQuitery tied for the match high with six block assists, while Becca Haraf posted nine digs and two aces.
Alex Johnson tallied 16 kills to pace the visiting Hoyas, while adding 12 digs. Lauren Saar (11 kills, 17 digs), also recorded a double-double, while Caitlin Brauneis dished out a match-high 46 assists. MacKenzie Thompson led the Hoyas with 18 digs.
The Lady Flames led set one from start to finish, stretching their lead to seven points, 19-12, on a kill from Happel. A 9-4 Georgetown run ensued, featuring four kills from Dani White, and Liberty held a 23-21 lead. Happel closed the set with kills on Georgetown's last two serves, and Liberty prevailed, 25-22.
Happel and White both recorded six set-one kills, while Liberty held a .256 to .195 edge on the attack.
Set two went back and forth, with nine ties and three lead changes. Liberty led, 10-9, following Babcock's third kill of the set. The Hoyas then moved into the lead with a three-point run, and pulled out to a 22-18 lead following a 5-1 rally which Brauneis capped with an ace. The Lady Flames countered with a 7-1 run ending with a McQuitery-Craycraft block to take set two, 25-23.
Liberty added four blocks in set two, but Georgetown hit .243, compared to .238 for the Lady Flames.
The Hoyas posted a 25-22 victory in the third set, ending Liberty's impressive streak of 28 consecutive sets won at home, dating back to Aug. 28, 2012. Georgetown went on an 8-2 run, gaining a 21-15 advantage. The Lady Flames drew to within two, 23-21, after a Melissa Racz kill, but Saar sealed the set with a kill and an ace.
Johnson scored seven kills in set three for the Hoyas, who outhit Liberty, .289 to .242, in the frame.
Liberty broke open a tight fourth set by staging an 8-2 rally, with Babcock scoring back-to-back kills for a 21-13 cushion. In total, the Lady Flames outscored Georgetown, 12-5, over the last 17 serves, with Rollins getting the match-clinching kill, 25-16.
The hosts hit .342 in the final set, totaling 18 kills to just nine for the Hoyas (.114). Happel contributed six kills during set four.
The Lady Flames will play their next 10 matches away from Lynchburg, beginning this weekend at the Kentucky Classic. Liberty will face VCU and East Tennessee State on Friday before meeting No. 21 Kentucky on Saturday.

Since quitting sugar, meat and dairy off my diet, people kept asking me "what can you eat then?". This challenge is hopefully proving the point that vegan food can be versatile, nutritious and tasty. Vegan food is not a sacrifice, but enjoyable, energising and inspiring way to eat.
What is veganism and why should you go vegan?
Vegans avoid consumption of all animal products, including food, clothing, accessories and beauty products. (See a list of food items commonly mistaken as vegan here).
Although a vegan diet may seem somewhat radical and even extreme, it can actually have some great health and environmental benefits. For many people, a vegan diet is also an ethical choice and more than just a way of eating. Veganism as a lifestyle reaches across all areas of daily life.
How the challenge works?
You can start the challenge whenever you feel ready. I have provided you with a list of recipes for the first week of the challenge (see the links below) and I will post more recipes again next week. Most of these recipes will be from my own archives, but I will also share some brand new vegan recipes during the challenge. There will also be some repeat of recipes (like breakfasts), but I've tried to provide a wide range to suit all climates and tastes. I've included recipes across the seasons so if you can't find all the ingredients, try mixing and matching the recipes to suit the produce available in your region.
If you do decide to take the challenge, I would love to hear your feedback! Email me, leave a comment below or message me on Twitter to let me know how you're going.

Joe Zee's Style Moves for Dancers
Arresting though it is, I can't help but wonder if model Kim Melander was somewhat disappointed that her first ELLE cover featured a YSL silk satin mousseline scarf much more prominently than her pretty face. (February)
1993 marked the year Miuccia Prada launched her second line, Miu Miu, which, according to this fashion news story heralding the designer's self-described "antifashion fashion" collection (bearing her childhood nickname), would have an aesthetic a little less prim than big sister Prada's. Its audience? "For those without trust funds," the author writes. Well, one out of two ain't too bad.... (February)

5.2 is looking to be my most favorite patch since 2.4.3. I can't wait to be clad in full Blood/Stone Guard Plate. Special Snowflakes only make up about 15% of the entire populous, no point in locking away neat content to only those few.
Those darn special snowflakes!
Slightly off topic, I would like all of the realm first level 70, 80, 85, 90 FoS achievements because it's not fair that only a few people got to get them.
Also the Death's Demise title.
Yeah give me a break, thats not what the ''gime gime gime" crowd wants. I mean, i don't have acess to the set atm as my current account has only been active since early WoLTK, and even if i'm a big transmog fan and i love how the HWL Hunter set looks on Undead, i didn't die from not being able to use it, is it that hard to respect that some things should stay rare? Allowing RBGers to use them would have been a nice perk to motivate people to push rating (2300+) since most peolpe stop at 2200 nowdays, but nope, gotta give them away to 1800 heroes again.
to be fair, whilst I understand the discontent, and its not HARD to get 1900. the marshals gear will still need what? 2.1k+? 2.4k to get all the bits?
It's not like EVERYBODY will have it all of a sudden. not many do rbgs, and to be fair, the difference between 1600 for cap, and 1900.. is fairly large.
I'm wondering if it will be broken down as to certain ranks getting certain pieces (a la vanilla) or if it'll be a blanket statement like it currently is (where if your toon has rank 8+, you can transmog all the stuff). Guessing the latter.
I would've rather seen them make the old title FoS an actual account wide thing for folks who may have switched mains since then, if anything, but that's merely my opinion.
For the record, I have rank 8 from vanilla, but on a character I rarely ever play anymore.
I am personally glad this change is on the table for being implemented, again nothing carved in stone with the patch still very much in the testing phase. I wonder if this was made either because more players wanted the level 60 gear for transmog or RBG teams needed more initiative to go for higher ratings / more reward.
While I don't think it is necessarily a hand-out, at least player have to earn it in some way though I will concede that earning the required RBG rating is easier than the grinding it took to get the equivalent title in the original honor system having played then myself.
If this change does make the live servers I'm probably going to be looking for a rated battleground team for my Holy Paladin most likely for the sake of this new reward.
---------- Post added 2013-02-03 at 07:17 AM ----------
they should implent some lvl 60 pvp sets for monks and DKs, recolors of old sets or not IDC, it should reward all players equal.
If you are comparing wintrading to the old system's HWL "queues" then you are out on deep waters. The second HWL on my server had close to 70.000 kills (>IN VANILLA<) and he was awake for unhealthy amounts of time and pissed in empty coke bottles to be able to reach that rank. For Blizzard to then give in to new players that can reach that same rank in a day if they dedicated themselves to it, is flat out disgusting - and reading comments from spoiled brats that have ZERO clue about what the old PvP top-ranks actually meant annoys me to no end.
It saddens me that everyone is feeling so goddamn entitled to everything these days, and I swear to you that it will be the ultimate downfall of this once so amazing game. If you haven't earned something, then you haven't earned something - and should not feel entitled to earn it through a shortcut that requires 2% of the effort that it once did.
---------- Post added 2013-02-03 at 08:51 PM ----------
Also, not once did I mention myself on this subject. This is quoted from myself on this very page:
Old rank 8-14: Blue and Epic set
Maybe I'm being elitist, but letting someone with scout or private wear GM/HWL armor as transmog seems silly...those titles took all of joining a single BG to obtain.
Of course, the same could be said for a rank 8 getting to wear it, so where does the line get drawn? That's up to Blizzard.
Oh joy, they haven't learned the lesson yet and just gotten rid of the restriction.
People have been able to buy the 60 pvp sets with honor for four expansions now, restricting the transmog was a dumb idea in the first place.
Do no harm, but take no shit.
What's up with all the elitist jerks crying over this? Just because you began sooner and spent countless hour grinding those tittles, this DOESN'T make you "pro" nor "oldschool". If anything, you'r just a bunch of zombies, and I put it in a good way. ( mindlessly doing the same thing over and over and over and over again )

Ratings for Dr. Thomas J. Sultenfuss
Dr. Sultenfuss has been treating me and my family for many years and is one of the few doctors I know I feel comfortable in recommending. I recently called for an appointment thinking I had shingles; I got in that afternoon and he confirmed the diagnosis and wrote me a prescription to fight the virus and gave me excellent, additional information to assist me in getting through this horrible and painful condition. I visit him every 6 months for a skin screen, due to the past diagnosis with melanoma. His examination was more thorough than one I got at Moffitt. He has treated my whole family for various skin conditions and has excellent knowledge of the human body. When I was in to see him once for a screening, I complained slightly about another physical condition I was experiencing at that time. He got me an appointment with another doctor that day to have it checked out--good thing, because I may have delayed, making the condition worse, etc. He is simply the BEST!
Dr Sultenfuss' is very thorough in his examination and responds clearly to all my questions. He is friendly, courteous, and has a great sense of humor. I like that I am seen by him personally and NOT a PA. My appointments are always on time and he has a wonderful staff. I definitely recommend Dr Sultenfuss.
I was a patient of Dr. Sultenfuss for many years until I had to move out of the area. I always found him to be thorough in doing head-to-toe exams (necessary because of family history of melonoma). When problems appeared, he always explained what he was doing and why. I even had occasion to call him once for an opinion about a family member's issue and he was kind enough to call me back and discuss it. I am sorry that I live so far away that I can no longer see him.
I have been a patient of Dr. Sultenfuss' for many years. He is an excellent dermatologist and his office staff are always couteous and helpful. I would definitely recommend him.
Great dermatologist. Excellent bedside manner and knows what he is doing. I've seen him several times for various issues and he has always done an effective job and is professional about it.
The Dr., the PA, and staff are all great! Very thorough and pleasant. I feel very comfortable at this office. It is very nice not to have to wait at the doctors office for a change. I highly recommend.
He made me feel very comfortable and usually finishes with the removal procedures I had done before I really even knew he started. The wait time is never long. The staff is very friendly. When I called with questions he was on the phone with me with minutes to answer them. Great doctor!
This doctor was extremely rough. I went for itching in my groin. He was very rough when examining my foreskin. Used a sharp instrument without anesthetic to take a sample even after I complained about how painful the examination. He was not sure if I had a yeast infection or not. He told my mom one thing, he told me another thing. I would not recommend anyone go to him.

Leadership is activity by which people become aware of ways to accomplish their desired goals, affirm values which they cherish, and to develop new values and goals which are in greater accord with their current capacities and ultimate potentials.

- As we look over the list of the early leaders of the republic, Washington, John Adams, Hamilton, and others, we discern that they were all men who insisted upon being themselves and who refused to truckle to the people. With each succeeding generation, the growing demand of the people that its elective officials shall not lead but merely register the popular will has steadily undermined the independence of those who derive their power from popular election. The persistent refusal of the Adamses to sacrifice the integrity of their own intellectual and moral standards and values for the sake of winning public office or popular favor is another of the measuring rods by which we may measure the divergence of American life from its starting point.

- Successful leaders don't start out asking, "What do I want to do?" They ask, "What needs to be done?" Then they ask, "Of those things that would make a difference, which are right for me?" They don't tackle things they aren't good at. They make sure other necessities get done, but not by them. Successful leaders make sure that they succeed! They are not afraid of strength in others. Andrew Carnegie wanted to put on his gravestone, "Here lies a man who knew how to put into his service more able men than he was himself."

- Now I think, speaking roughly, by leadership we mean the art of getting someone else to do something that you want done because he wants to do it.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, as quoted in The Federal Career Service : A Look Ahead (1954)
- Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity. When you delegate something to a subordinate, for example, it is absolutely your responsibility, and he must understand this. You as a leader must take complete responsibility for what the subordinate does. I once said, as a sort of wisecrack, that leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, as quoted in Nineteen Stars : a Study in Military Character and Leadership (1971) by Edgar F. Puryear Jr.

- From the moment when he took command of the army, Washington was, indeed, "first in the hearts of his countrymen." And the student of our history cannot help remarking how providential it was that, at the outset of this struggle, Washington should come to the front. … Had not Washington been at hand, accepted by the Congress and admired by the army, the virtual leader of both, the chances of success would have been slight. But he was Lincoln and Grant in one. Time and time again, through the long years, it was Washington alone who brought victory from defeat. Without him, the colonies might have won their independence as the result of an almost interminable guerilla warfare; but with him the fight was definite, glorious, and-for the infant republic, mercifully short.

- Walter Grant IV, past President — University of Redlands Whitehead Leadership Society. As quoted in Leadership Greatness: Best Practices To Become A Great Leader By Tri Junarso
- No nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation's life. … It was only as the weary fight went on that the colonists learned, little by little, the greatness of their leader — his clear judgment, his calmness in the hour of danger or defeat; the patience with which he waited, the quickness and hardness with which he struck, the lofty and serene sense of duty that never swerved from its task through resentment or jealousy, that never, through war or peace, felt the touch of a meaner ambition; that knew no aim save that of guarding the freedom of his fellow-countrymen; and no personal longing save that of returning to his own fireside when their freedom was secured.
It was almost unconsciously that men learned to cling to Washington with a trust and faith such as few other men have won, and to regard him with reverence which still hushes us in presence of his memory.
- John Richard Green on George Washington in History of the English People (1880)
- What was leadership, after all, but the blind choice of one route over another and the confident pretence that the decision was based on reason.

- The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.
The leader personifies the certitude of the creed and the defiance and grandeur of power. He articulates and justifies the resentment damned up in the souls of the frustrated. He kindles the vision of a breath-taking future so as to justify the sacrifice of a transitory present. He stages a world of make-believe so indispensable for the realization of self-sacrifice and united action.

- As quoted in Introducing Leadership (2006) by David Pardey, p. 57
- Superior leaders get things done with very little motion. They impart instruction not through many words, but through a few deeds. They keep informed about everything but interfere hardly at all. They are catalysts, and though things would not get done as well if they were not there, when they succeed they take no credit. And, because they take no credit, credit never leaves them.

Calman, Ledru-Rollin and the Second French Republic (Studies in History, Economics and Public Law), vol. 103, no. 2, (1922), p. 374, says Ledru-Rollin's use of "I am their chief; I must follow them" is probably apocryphal.
- The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. . . . The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.

- The art of leadership is in the ability to make people want to work for you, while they are really under no obligation to do so. Leaders are people, who raise the standards by which they judge themselves and by which they are willing to be judged. The goal chosen, the objective selected, the requirements imposed, are not mainly for their followers alone.
They develop with consumate energy and devotion, their own skill and knowledge in order to reach the standard they themselves have set.
This whole-hearted acceptance of the demands imposed by even higher standards is the basis of all human progress. A love of higher quality, we must remember, is essential in a leader.

- I suppose men are born with traits that can be cultivated in the direction of leadership. But there is also no doubt that leadership can be cultivated The idea of any man being born an army commander or being born to be a theater commander, such as General Eisenhower, just isn't so. The characteristics of leadership, necessarily has to have certain decisiveness and confidence come from knowledge based on studies and training. The fundamental thing is your basic knowledge, the development of your mind, and your ability to apply this knowledge as you go along your military career.

- Character is what you are. Reputation is what others think you are. The reason that some fail to climb the ladder of success, or of leadership if you want to call it that, is that there is a difference between reputation and character. The two do not always coincide. A man may be considered to have sterling chracter. Opportunity might come to that man; but if he has the reputation for something he is not, he may fail that opportunity. I think character is the foundation of successful leadership.

- I am a leader by default, only because nature does not allow a vacuum.

- Remember, I have not appointed you as commanders and tyrants over the people. I have sent you as leaders instead, so that the people may follow your example. Give the Muslims their rights and do not beat them lest they become abused. Do not praise them unduly, lest they fall into the error of conceit. Do not keep your doors shut in their faces, lest the more powerful of them eat up the weaker ones. And do not behave as if you were superior to them, for that is tyranny over them.

- A great nation is not led by a man who simply repeats the talk of the street-corners or the opinions of the newspapers. A nation is led by a man who hears more than those things; or who, rather, hearing those things, understands them better, unites them, puts them into a common meaning; speaks, not the rumors of the street, but a new principle for a new age; a man in whose ears the voices of the nation do not sound like the accidental and discordant notes that come from the voice of a mob, but concurrent and concordant like the united voices of a chorus, whose many meanings, spoken by melodious tongues, unite in his understanding in a single meaning and reveal to him a single vision, so that he can speak what no man else knows, the common meaning of the common voice. Such is the man who leads a great, free, democratic nation.

Norris' gem gives Astros shot to sweep Angels
Righty goes eight innings as Houston secures series victory
HOUSTON -- Bud Norris paced in the dugout, picked at his fingers and really tried to do anything to keep himself occupied. Perhaps the best performance of his career was on the line in the ninth inning and was now in the hands of teammate Jose Veras.
Norris had been masterful against the Angels, working into the ninth inning for the first time in his career, but it wasn't until Veras coaxed Howie Kendrick to hit into a 6-4-3 with the bases loaded to end the game could the Astros' ace relax and enjoy his work.
When Kendrick hit the ball toward shortstop Marwin Gonzalez, Norris raced to the top step of the dugout and then gave an emphatic fist pump when second baseman Jose Altuve threw to first for the final out of a tense 3-1 win on Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park.
"We got a lead and we got to shut the door," Norris said. "Veras came in and definitely made the pitches when he needed to. He had a huge strikeout of [Mark] Trumbo and first-pitch heater to get a double play from Kendrick. He knows what he's doing, he's pitched a long time and I feel comfortable passing the ball off to him every time."
The Astros have won two in a row from the Angels and can sweep a series for the first time this year with a win Thursday.
Norris (4-3) allowed nine hits and one run on a homer to Josh Hamilton while throwing only 84 pitches. He flirted with his first complete game, only to be pulled by manager Bo Porter after giving up consecutive singles to Mike Trout and Albert Pujols to start the ninth.
"It's a little frustrating," Norris said. "I definitely put in the work to go out there and put in nine innings, and it's really close. It's happened a few times, but that's OK. The wins are more important for me and for this team and where we're going. That was the No. 1 priority."
Porter had complete confidence in Veras, but he was also looking out for Norris' bottom line: He didn't want him to suffer a loss.
"If there was one man on base, I would have let him keep going, but once the second man was on base, at that point all he can get is a no-decision," Porter said. "The closer is up, he's ready and that's why I had Veras ready to go."
Veras struck out Trumbo on three nasty breaking pitches before hitting Hamilton to load the bases. While Norris fidgeted in the dugout, Veras went right at Kendrick with a fastball and got him to hit into a double play -- the fourth of the game for the Astros.
"When guys like that throw that good, you have to find a way to get it done because they deserve it to get that win," said Veras, who has saved games on consecutive days.
Norris has been a high-strikeout pitcher in his career, but he had only two because he pitched to contact with an effective sinker that set up his breaking stuff. He threw only eight pitches in the second inning, five in the third, six in the fourth and eight in the fifth, bringing his total to 38 after five innings.
"After the fifth inning he was at 35 pitches, and I was like, 'Is that right?'" said left fielder Chris Carter, who hit a solo homer in the fifth.
Trumbo was appreciative of the way Norris attacked the zone.
"He gave us strikes to hit," he said. "You always appreciate a pitcher who is willing to challenge you like that. Ultimately, if he's proven he's going to throw strikes, it's not wise to go up there and try to work a long at-bat if you're going to get a quality pitch to hit early. Sometimes, that's all you're going to get and you can't let it go by."
Back-to-back doubles by Matt Dominguez and Gonzalez -- who snapped an 0-for-19 slump -- in the third inning put the Astros ahead 1-0 against Joe Blanton (0-6), and Jimmy Paredes shot an RBI double to right field one out later to push the lead to 2-0. Carter's homer made it 3-0, which was more than enough for Norris, who improved to 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA at home.
"Bud has taken a tremendous step forward in his career," Porter said. "He was our Opening Day starter, he's our No. 1 guy. There have been times this season the bullpen has been taxed and he's been asked to go out there and be that No. 1 guy. Tonight is another example of him taking the bull by the horn and saying, 'I'm going to put this team on my back and I'm going to do everything I can to get us a victory."
The Astros did their part defensively, too, with another crisp performance. They turned four more double plays, pushing their Major League-leading total to 46. Prior to the game-ending double play, the biggest twin killing came in the fifth when Norris got Chris Iannetta to hit into a 6-4-3 double play and strand a runner at third.
"I really hope the rest of the starters take heed at what can happen when you attack the strike zone," Porter said. "We have a pretty good defense, and when you make the other team feel like they have to swing early in the count and put the ball in play and allow our defense to play, we can get starts like we got tonight from Bud Norris."

Snow Rules!
Enhanced Snow and Precipitation Monitoring within Minnesota Portions of Watersheds Draining to Lake Superior
To make the best use of data, each month of snowfall was analyzed to a grid of values for the region. Those monthly grids were then summed to form the pattern shown above. The formation of grids of snow was guided by the use of elevation and the distance to Lake Superior. In that way even in areas where data is still somewhat sparse the steep 'gradient' of snowfall values, up to about ½ foot per mile, from shore to inland could be shown.
Data was provided by 63 Soil and Water Conservation District Observers plus 27 National Weather Service and DNR observers (in St. Louis, Lake, and Cook counties).
The blue dots, representing individual observers, show the average fraction of the median of the event's non-zero snowfalls. The green line is a type of weighted running average of the individual observer values. An overall peak occurs approximately 8-10 kilometers inland. That distance is where the land surface has climbed about 75% of the height difference of the inland highest surfaces and the Lake Superior. On the average the highest elevation of the land surface occurs at about 25 km inland. The location of that snowfall approaches the elevation peak but still on the upslope side is what was expected.
The graph can be stretched logarithmically so that the observers nearest the shore are more spread out in the graph.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/5/2013 (1567 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I met a man on my holiday to Mexico in February and he has never quit emailing and Skyping with me. He is not a beach boy, but a businessman there. He would like to come and visit me. I have been warned by my friends and relatives that he may be using me to gain entrance into Canada and I don't believe that. They also said they suspect he might be married. How would I possibly find out more detail on that if he came to Canada? Should I take a trip down there and check him out? I really fell for him like a ton of bricks and he seemed to feel the same way. This man is university-educated and has a big business there. I know, because that's how I met him -- from being at his business. -- Trusting Him Mostly, East Kildonan
Dear Trusting: If you feel he is sincere and you really like him, by all means head south again, and this time keep your eyes and ears open. Ask to be introduced to his family on Skype now and in person then. If he is on the up-and-up, he should be fine with that and with introducing you to his friends as well. If not, you will get excuses, some of them beautiful, that make him look like a good guy. Con artists are very good at that. Ask him where he went to university and what he studied, over the phone. Ask lots about his business, friends, family. Don't inquire in a letter or email, as it gives too much time to make something up. He could actually be a great guy, happy in Mexico, and better off than you are -- but you need to spend more time there to find out, and then bring him to your turf.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I had the flu and my husband insisted we still go out with this couple because he was trying to court a big contract from the guy. Instead of cancelling, I took a Gravol and went. I was OK through the appetizers but after the big entr©e, I went in the bathroom and threw up. To cover up for the fact my husband had hauled his wife to dinner with a flu they could catch, he told them we thought I might be pregnant! For the rest of the dinner they were very solicitous of me "in my condition." When we got home I told him what a selfish, lying sleazeball he was. He yelled that I "didn't care" about his success. He is really getting on my nerves now that we are married. I look at him now and my lip curls. The sex is still good, but that's about it. What should I do? -- Disgusted, St. Boniface
Dear Disgusted: Take this marriage off to a relationship counsellor and talk about the values of truth and integrity. Talk about the actions that go with the marriage vows to honour your mate. They would not include going to a business event sick. Then encourage your husband to speak his mind about things that are bothering him about you. Newlyweds get a lot of surprises in the first few years, and not all of them are good. It's encouraging that you are both still sexually attracted, and if boundaries can be set and problems worked out, one can hope for the best. Not too long ago you were at the altar professing deep love for each other.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/11/2012 (1728 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Irv and Sandi Koch, who have been season ticket holders to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers since 1970, made the winning bid of $10,000 to purchase the Appleton Rum Hut at a special auction Thursday evening at Canad Inns Stadium.
The couple lives in Stonewall.
The tiki bar-inspired rum hut has been a favourite meeting place and watering hole for Bombers fans at the stadium since it was moved there shortly after the 1999 Pan Am Games.
The rum hut was the centerpiece of an evening auction of Canad Inns Stadium memorabilia. The Bombers will play at Investors Group Field at the University of Manitoba next season.
Money raised from the sale will go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

This Saturday (Feb. 22) is National Margarita Day! Don't waste this good excuse to go out on the town. You can't think of any excuse not to have a drink, huh? Well, here are the top five places to go grab that 'rita in Tyler.
There is no shortage of great places to grab a great margarita to celebrate this glorious holiday here in Tyler. But, these are the best places to sit back and enjoy one on any budget.
1. Don Juan's
If you have never tried a margarita from Don Juan's, you have been wasting your time. Their simple, yet elegant, recipe for this power drink will have you falling in love with one of Tyler's best places to pick up some Mexican food. So, head on down to downtown Tyler and grab yourself a tasty treat.
2. Stanley's Famous Pit BBQ
I know what you are thinking. What does a BBQ joint know about margaritas? This BBQ joint knows a lot, so much so it will surprise you. Do yourself a favor and head over there and get their special 'rita. They have jalapeno margaritas, one called a "Big Ass Rita" and a house 'rita that will blow you away. Take this celebration to Stanley's, and you will be happy you did.
3. Juls
Have you been out to visit Juls yet? Well, here is the perfect time to go see what this new addition to Tyler is all about. With highly trained and knowledegable bartenders, this place is unable to leave you unsatisfied with your margarita to celebrate this national holiday. I promise, you'll want more than just one of their 'ritas.
4. Rusty Taco
Though this may not be the classiest of places in Tyler to have a drink, Rusty Taco should not be left behind. They have VERY powerful margaritas served up with their delicious and cheap tacos. Don't believe me? Try one, you will be able to celebrate and save a bit of money if you make it in before their happy hours is over.
5. Fuzzy's Tacos
Fuzzy's Tacos have more variety in margarita choices than you would think possible. They have two different base flavors for your 'rita and then they have endless beer options to make beer ritas with. Their Fuzzy Moon is especially tasty. Go in and try one, you will be delighted you came.
There you go, folks. Now you can celebrate National Margarita Day with full force. Make sure that you celebrate safely, though. Margarita driving is something no one should tempt fate with. Call a cab or have a sober friend drive. Have fun and drink one!

There's a terrific essay by Rei Kawakubo, the high priestess/founder of Comme des Garcons, in the current issue of System magazine that casts doubt on a piece of fashion conventional wisdom that has under-pinned the industry, and the designer myth, as far as I can remember. I am speaking here of the "inspiration" trip/book/cultural event. Is it a bunch of hooey? Maybe. Read more

Quadrupeds (or tetrapods) is the name given to four-footed land-dwelling vertebrates. This general classification includes amphibians, reptiles and mammals. The Darwinists' explanation is that quadrupeds evolved from fish. However, this claim is physiologically and anatomically untenable-and also, has no foundation in the fossil record.
In order for a fish to adapt to life on dry land, it would have to undergo tremendous changes in its respiratory system, excretory system and skeletal structure. Its gills would have to be supplemented by lungs; its fins would have to acquire sturdiness capable of bearing the weight of its body. Kidneys to dispose of bodily wastes would need to form, and its skin would have to acquire a structure to prevent loss of moisture.

Car crashes are the #1 killer of our nation's teenagers. Each year, nearly 3,145 teenagers are killed in motor vehicle crashes and nearly 450,000 are injured.
That's why Allstate is committed to help keep them safe with tools, tips from experts, and information for parents of teen drivers to start that important conversation about teen driver safety. And talking with your teen about rules of the road may not necessarily be easy, but it is important.
What more is being done? Graduated Driver Licensing laws are designed to help young drivers transition from novices and, gradually over time gain behind-the-wheel experience and driving skills within lower-risk conditions, to gain full driving privileges. Research studies have shown that strong GDL laws can reduce crash rates among new teen drivers by 43%.
In July 2012, President Obama signed the Transportation Reauthorization bill into law that includes incentive grants encouraging states to adopt GDL laws. Now Allstate is focused on encouraging every state to adopt these new teen safe driving standards.
To learn more about the laws in your state, click here.
More quick tips to keep in mind: If you're buying a car for your teen, try to find one with a high safety rating. It can help keep your auto insurance premiums down, and increase your child's safety on the road.
Also, if you believe the Graduated Driver Licensing laws in your state aren't strong enough, here are some suggested rules you might want to use with your teen:

Clubbers and drinkers are set to be videotaped as they order minicabs in Kingston town centre from potentially as early as next week.
Images from the three late night kiosks will be beamed back to the head office of Kingston's main cab firm in Cambridge Road.
Raj Nanda, the director of Kingston Area Cars, which has the contract for the kiosks, said they would protect customers and drivers.
He said: "They will work by deterring and reducing crime. If you know there are cameras you are not going to do anything silly."
The images will not be monitored live but will be recorded so could be useful for identification purposes by police.
Mr Nanda, who started his cab company in 2009, said that although recording devices are illegal inside taxis and minicabs, there was a Transport for London consultation on the issue.
The kiosk cameras are expected to be installed next week with engineers arriving on Monday or Tuesday, pending issues with broadband.
Kingston Area Cars won a contract from Kingstonfirst to run the kiosks in the town centre where late night revellers queue up to get a lift home.
The kiosks, by Kingston bridge, Kingston station and outside the Hippodrome nightclub are designed to clear the town centre as quickly as possible and keep drinkers safe.
Other firms are not allowed to pick up passengers in the town centre unless they are hired by phone.
Kingstonfirst chief executive Ros Morgan said: "The addition of CCTV to the mini-cab kiosks is another positive step forward for our safe-cab scheme that last year alone ensured 25,000 visitors returned home safely after a night out in Kingston town centre."

Not today my friend. today is about windows.
11. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Typical response from a defensive delusional windows phone fanboy. Your OS has NEVER mattered and still only commands less that 10 % of market share world wide, you can only dream of the numbers that IOS and Android garner. Android not important? That is highly doubtful, the average Joe will still flock to what they are familiar with, what Windows is, is a complete heap of mess and confusion of it's home screen, not the most intuitive OS in the world.
14. Lift_Off (Posts: 152; Member since: 04 Apr 2012)
lol what a loser. Typical fandroid response. "My OS is best and most complex and everyone loves it" I'm not a windows fan boy ive never even owned a windows phone. I'm just interested in it, and android bores me. Sorry that that is such a problem to you.

T-Mobile promises Gingerbread for G2x by summer

Oh, what difference does it make? The device has been pulled by T-Mobile for rebooting issues. They claim there is a software fix for it, but it's also suffering from a bleeding screen. Can't really fix that via software. T-Mobile has already been sending out replacements to customers, up to 3 & 4 to some. They have bigger fish to fry with this device than Gingerbread. T-Mobile should pull it and cancel contract with LG. Besides, the Sensation is coming.
11. Clutch12 (unregistered)
the sensation still isn't a better phone the ips screen is far supirior to the sensation's s-lcd and the tegra 2 chipset out preforms the dua-core snapdragon chipset in productivity and gaming, besides i have not had any of these problems with my G2x.

Brothers miss out on Super acclaim for TV ad
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 9:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 9:31 p.m.
Joe and Vinnie Tarant didn't get to "Crash the Super Bowl'' on Sunday night. The brothers, both graduates of the University of Florida, did not see their Doritos commercial aired during Super Bowl XLVII.
But the brothers still got a hefty prize and got to watch the championship game in a Super Bowl VIP suite.
The "Crash the Super Bowl" contest, hosted by Doritos since 2007, gives viewers a chance to create their own 30-second Doritos ad. This year, two Doritos commercials were aired during the game, which has become a championship of sorts for advertisers hoping to put their best products before a record television audience.
The Taranto brothers' ad, titled "Fetch," was one of five finalists. For their efforts, the brothers were awarded $25,000, a five-day all-inclusive trip to New Orleans and two VIP suite tickets to the Super Bowl.
Attempts to reach the brothers during the game Sunday night were unsuccessful.
Their commercial told the story of a boy who is baby-sitting his grandma's Chihuahua-Yorkshire Terrier mix named Goliath. The boy is told not to play fetch with the dog, but decides to do so anyway.
He asks for a bag of Doritos, which the dog delivers as intended. Then he asks for a "bare naked ...," but before the boy can finish his sentence, the dog brings back a bear who chases the boy. The commercial ends with a shot of the pup chowing down on the boy's chips.
The commercial was produced in Los Angeles one weekend with the help of 17 crew members.
Both brothers studied television and radio production at UF's College of Journalism and Communications. Joe Taranto is currently working on his master's in fine arts/production at Loyola Marymount University, while Vinnie works in property management in Melbourne Beach.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. - Gov. Rick Scott -- a Navy veteran himself -- Mayor Alvin Brown and the oldest male and female veterans in Jacksonville were grand marshals in Jacksonville's Veterans Day Parade through the streets downtown Monday.
"It's a very patriotic day," Marine Corporal Peter Andrews said. "Makes you feel good about being an American."
The parade stepped off at 11:01 a.m. Monday after a moment of silence at the reviewing stand in front of the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts. Water, Newman and Bay streets were lined with thousands of people paying tribute to active servicemen, and veterans who have dedicated their lives to this country.
"Thank God for their service. They defended our freedom," Gov. Scott said. "I think of my father who was in the 82 Airborne, doing all the combat jumps in the second World War."
SLIDESHOW: Images from Jacksonville's 2012 Veterans Day Parade
The parade included 4,000 participants, from Brownie troops to World War II veterans in restored Army Jeeps, tanks and other equipment. More than 1,800 students from area schools marched as parts of JROTC units or marching bands.
Corp. Andrews brought his two children to the parade to educate them about the history and honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
"I try to tell them about remembering the importance of those who have served for their country," Andrews said. "Some of them dedicated their lives, gave their lives to make sure they're free, so they could go to good schools and have everything that they do have."
Military mom Betty Brown wouldn't help but share her pride and patriotism as she fondly reflected on the service of her three sons.
"I take away freedom, and happiness, and love," Brown said.
Channel 4's Kent Justice and Adrienne Moore handled announcing duties Monday for the two-hour long parade that at times stretched from the Prime Osborn Convention Center to EverBank Field.
Veterans said they are proud this city puts on such a big event to honor Veterans Day.
"It's obvious Jacksonville is trying to do the right things for our city," said David Hixon. "It's very important for us."
The parade was also an opportunity for the community to donate supplies and food for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Four drop-off bins were located along the route.
