Twice big storms hit the Twin Cities with 14 and then 20 inches of snow, and because the jet stream goes north hard, curls around us at the very top NW corner of Minnesota we laugh while they get it! hahahaha!
My expert opinion is that snow is not entirely from the sky. The video was taken from a sheltered area and it looks like they got 36"+ as a result of some drifting.
Nice! He's got a couple of other time lapses of the blizzard from other angles as well. I like the way the clock keeps getting dug out as the snow continues.
Keep close to Nature's heart...
and break clear away, once in awhile,
and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the Alpine KTX-FUS8 Perfect FIT Dash and Wiring Kit by Ken Nail Keep your factory look and controls This Perfect Fit package lets you install an oversized Alpine navigation receiver while keeping your factory look. The package contains a dash kit that's been specially designed to make the Alpine's big 8" screen look right at home in your 2010-12 Fusion or 2010-11 Milan (without factory navigation). Plug it in and go You'll need to hardwire your new Alpine to the car's parking brake, but the rest is easy. The included wiring harness plugs directly from the Alpine receiver into your vehicle's factory wiring harness — no extra splicing or soldering needed. The package also includes a steering wheel audio control interface — no programming necessary, just plug it in and go. Warranty: 1 year. Note: This Perfect Fit package will allow you to control the Alpine receiver with the steering wheel audio controls in your vehicle. It will not retain the factory Bluetooth functionality on your steering wheel, including SYNC and hands-free phone calls. It will not work with factory Sirius and XM satellite radio tuners.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Perfect F.I.T. Installation Packages: Because of its large 8" touchscreen LCD monitor, the Alpine INE-Z928HD in-dash multimedia-navigation head unit (500INEZ928, sold separately) will not fit a standard Single-DIN or Double-DIN dash opening. To accommodate this large screen in your vehicle's dash, Alpine offers a line of Perfect Factory Integration Technology (F.I.T.) packages specifically for the INE-Z928HD. Alpine's Perfect F.I.T. installation packages allow the INE-Z928HD to fit seamlessly into select vehicle dashes. Perfect F.I.T. is designed to cosmetically match the shape, color and texture of the vehicle's interior. The Perfect F.I.T. installation package come with all necessary accessories for the installation of the INE-Z928HD, including an Alpine/vehicle-specific harness, antenna adapter, Alpine-specific steering wheel interface, and BUS adapter (if necessary). A variety of new kits, representing popular U.S. vehicles, are available. Compatibility: The Alpine KTX-FUS8 Perfect F.I.T. Installation Package allows seamless integration of the Alpine INE-Z928 multimedia-navigation head unit in select 2010-up Ford Fusions. Also compatible with the 2010-2011 Mercury Milan. This Perfect F.I.T. Installation Package will not retain the factory SYNC system, factory Bluetooth functionality, or factory SiriusXM satellite radio tuners. Note: As always, please consult Crutchfield's Outfit My Car to verify fit with your vehicle. OEM-Like Appearance: The KTX-FUS8 Perfect F.I.T. Installation Package has been specifically fitted and engineered to fit select 2010-up Ford Fusions perfectly. It comes with a specially formed OEM-grade, high quality/high strength ABS plastic radio housing that is color matched to the dash. This allows the unit to precisely fit not only the vehicle, but also the Alpine INE-Z928 navigation receiver. In addition, extra care is taken to match the factory dash's shape, texture, and color ensuring a more OEM-like appearance. Unlike traditional universal dash kits, the Alpine Perfect F.I.T. packages include direct fit OEM-like brackets to ensure sturdy support and accurate positioning of the radio in your vehicle's dash. Vehicle+Radio Harness: This Perfect F.I.T. Installation Package comes with a vehicle+radio harness for simple installation between the Alpine INE-Z928HD and your 2010-up Ford Fusion. You get all the necessary harnesses and adapters in the box to install the Alpine INE-Z928HD navigation receiver in your 2010-up Ford Fusion. Note: The vehicle+radio harness contains three Molex connectors which plug into your Ford Fusion's factory radio harness. On the same end of the harness is a 10-pin connector which plugs into the included Ford stereo replacement interface module (KCX-SRMFD). On the other end of the harness is a 16-pin Alpine radio connector which plugs into the radio connector port on the back of the Alpine INE-Z928HD navigation receiver. There is also a mono-sub RCA connector and stereo AUX input connector which plugs into the corresponding ports on the Alpine INE-Z928HD. In addition, you will need to make two hardwired connections between the supplied vehicle+radio harness and your vehicle's Parking brake (Yellow/blue) and Foot brake (Yellow/black). There is a remote turn-on lead (Blue/white) to connect an aftermarket amplifier. Steering Wheel Controls: The Perfect F.I.T. Installation Package also includes a steering wheel remote interface cable (KCX-SWCFD). For 2010-up Ford Fusions with factory steering wheel audio controls, the KTX-FUS8 retains the capability to control the Alpine INE-Z928HD navigation receiver's volume, source, and playback controls. There is no additional programming required, simply plug & play. Note: The 3.5mm connector of the steering wheel remote interface cable plugs into the 3.5mm remote input of the Alpine INE-Z928HD.

In 2004, Kristie and Mike were living in a developer-built house on a typical 25-foot-wide Chicago lot. When friends told them about a 50-foot-wide lot for sale in the quiet residential Ravenswood neighborhood, they jumped at the chance to build a city house that would nurture their close family.
The couple found their soul mate in Chicago architect Fred Wilson, who enthusiastically embraced the couple's vision for a light-filled, family-centered house. Rather than a conventional floor plan—formal living and dining rooms at the front of the house and a kitchen/great room at the back—Wilson incorporated inviting family-hangout spaces throughout. "I wanted to really live in the whole house, and I wanted everyone else to feel like they could, too," Kristie says.
After a year of planning, construction began in September 2005. The 5,500-square-foot house is technically a four-level split (plus finished basement and attic home office) in traditional disguise.
Architect: Fred Wilson; project managers: Kris Bradford and Robert Zuber, Morgante Wilson Architects Ltd., 2834 Central St., Evanston, IL 60202; 847/332-1001.

Arthur M. Sackler Museum, 485 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138
Katharina Sieverding, in conversation with Lynette Roth, Daimler-Benz Associate Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museums
Since the late 1960s, the Czech-born German artist Katharina Sieverding has consistently pushed the boundaries of the photographic medium in her use of large-scale images, extreme close-ups, and techniques such as solarization, color filters, or composite imagery. A student of Joseph Beuys, Sieverding uses her artistic practice—photography, film, and installation—to address the relationship of the individual to society. Through her work, she participates in public discourse, often outside the space of the gallery.
The ArtisTalk lecture series for 2012–13 focuses on Art in Public Space—a timely subject as the Harvard Art Museums consider the reinstallation of the enhanced 32 Quincy Street building. Speakers include contemporary artists from Latin America, Europe, and the United States whose work engages viewers in public settings of varying scale and conditions—enclosed or open, vast or intimate—and in visual practices of various means—from performance to painting, sculpture, installation, printmaking, and film. The lectures will include conversations with the artists, who will discuss issues of place, scale, and performative aspects of their work, among other ideas.
A reception and open galleries (first floor) will follow.
Free admission.
The ArtisTalk series was made possible in part by generous support from the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer Jr. Fund for Modern and Contemporary Art, Harvard Art Museums.
The M. Victor Leventritt Fund was established through the generosity of the wife, children, and friends of the late M. Victor Leventritt, Harvard Class of 1935. The purpose of the fund is to present outstanding scholars of the history and theory of art to the Harvard and Greater Boston communities.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P1-2X12 by Jo Greene Enclosed Subwoofers 101 An enclosed subwoofer is a box with a subwoofer already installed. The advantage to buying an enclosed sub is that the manufacturer made the sub, then designed and built the box as a perfect match, so you'll get the best possible performance. Every enclosed sub has a maximum RMS power handling rating, so pair it with an amp with a similar RMS power rating to get the best performance. Rockford Fosgate's P1-2X12 ported enclosure fills your ride with juicy, high-volume bass, so you and your passengers can rock out to the latest beats. The enclosure houses two Punch P1 12" woofers that feature paper cones reinforced with Kevlar fibers, supported by rubber surrounds. Heavy-duty motor assemblies and advanced cooling vents allow each of these subs to handle up to 250 watts RMS without flinching. Rugged 5/8" medium-density fiberboard construction means this enclosure will hold strong for fat, heavy bass. Industrial-grade black carpet provides a clean, finished look, and protects your trunk from nicks and scratches. This enclosure uses an advanced port design that promotes generous air movement, while reducing distortion-causing port noise, so you hear louder, deeper bass. Add an amp and some wiring, and feel the thick low end this enclosure adds to your ride.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Punch Woofer: The enclosure houses two front-firing Rockford Fosgate Punch P1S4-12 12" subwoofers. The 4-ohm, single voice coil subs are internally wired in parallel to present a 2-ohm load. Each subwoofer features a StampCast steel frame, a Kevlar fiber reinforced paper cone, and NBR surround (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber). Anodized aluminum voice coil formers and spider venting help keep the subwoofers cool. Spider: A compliant linear spider made from tear and fatigue resistant poly-cotton improves mechanical stability under high excursion, maintaining consistent excursion characteristics. Solid MDF Construction: The enclosure is constructed of high quality 5/8" MDF (medium-density fiberboard), which resists flexing and has anti-resonant qualities. Vented Enclosure: The vented enclosure is aided by precision construction through computer design. The enclosure consists of two front firing 12" Punch P1 series subwoofers with a proprietary high-flow, low-noise port. The speaker terminals are located on the left side of the box (when facing the box). The box is covered in black carpet. Tuned Port: The enclosure uses a front-firing proprietary high-flow, low-noise port to help produce deep and loud bass efficiently. Box Carpeting: The enclosure is finished with high-density carpeting for superior durability. The carpet is black. Speaker Terminal: The subwoofer enclosure uses one pair of high current, spring loaded binding posts. The binding posts are located on the left side of the box and will accept pin connectors, single or dual banana plugs, or bare wire up to 10 gauge. Power Handling: The subwoofer can handle up to 500 watts RMS; 1000 watts peak power. CEA-2031 Compliant: Power handling on the P1S4-12 subwoofers conforms to CEA-2031 industry standards. This means the subwoofer has the capacity to handle its rated power under continuous demand, not just for an instant. Dimensions: The depth dimensions listed in Features & Specs include the subwoofer's trim ring, which adds approximately 7/8 of an inch. The depth of just the enclosure is 15-3/4 inches at the base and 13 inches at the top.

Written By Clint, Chico, TX on Sunday, June 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great Sub's, people are always saying great things about them. But one draw back is that the port design. Could have been much smaller or put in a different place on the box. This thing barely fits my trunk and i drive a 1997 Acura Integra LS sedan.

Darts and laurels
Laurels to the five local mayors who helped deliver Meals on Wheels as part of this week's annual event highlighting the volunteer-driven program's importance to the community. The key word here is volunteer. As a non-profit, MOW (a United Way agency) depends on a core of dedicated people who donate their time to deliver meals to senior citizens whose mobility is limited. Along with a nutritious meal, volunteers offer companionship and help keep an eye on the well-being of the clients on their routes. However, with roughly 200 meals to deliver each day, along 28 routes, Meals on Wheels can use more helping hands. If you're interested in volunteering or the services MOW provides, call 704-633-0352, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.mowrowannc.org.
Dart — and good riddance — to the pink stripe that state legislators initially wanted to put on the drivers licenses of young illegal immigrants who qualify for temporary residency status under a federal program. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program pertains to immigrants who were children when they were brought into the country illegally — through no choice of their own — and are now young adults holding down jobs, attending classes or both. The drivers licenses need to denote their immigration status, but the proposed pink stripe was overkill, designed to embarrass the bearers. The licenses will now simply state "Legal presence/no lawful status."
Laurels to collaboration — one of the strategic strengths on the resume of the Rowan County Chamber of Commerce's new president, Elaine Spalding. Although spats between Salisbury and county leaders have garnered recent attention, the need for better working partnerships extends beyond the disputes of the moment. Better collaboration among the community's major stakeholders can help forge proactive solutions and avoid reactive stalemates that waste time, energy and resources.

Tara Currier, manager of the DDA, expressed sympathies from the organization, to Finchum's family, in a press release.
"On behalf of the board of directors, we extend our deepest sympathies to Harry's family and his many friends," Currier said. "Harry was an integral part of the DDA, and many benefitted greatly from his thoughtfulness, integrity and commitment to the community. What has been truly evident during Harry's time as chairman of the board was his long-standing connection with the people of Cartersville. He was indeed one of a kind and he will be missed."
Finchum was first appointed to the DDA board in 2005 before being elected chairman two years later. He continued serving as chairman until his death.
He was born in Winchester, Va., in 1933 and came to Cartersville with his wife, Peggy, after retiring from a career in the paper industry. During his retirement, he opened and operated Wall Street Cigar at 10 S. Wall St. for a number of years.
It was the cigar store where Saunders Jones III, a fellow DDA board member, came to know Finchum.
"I had fond memories of meeting a couple buddies of mine and coming down to his shop, hanging out with him, spending some time learning about the different cigars and whatnot and catching up with him on what's going on in the community. ... Just kindling a friendship over a couple of cigars," Jones said.
Finchum was heavily involved with the DDA after opening his business and continued working with the organization until his death, Jones added.
"He was passionate about the community, passionate about the DDA and I heard the story that even as [recently as] last week he was wanting to see the minutes of the meetings and was interested in what's going on. He [still] wanted to be a part of the cause of the DDA. That's just the kind of guy he was. ...
"Obviously, we're going to miss him, but his spirit [is with us] and what he was trying to do is what we keep in mind every day as we continue to do the things that he would want us to do as our mission for the DDA," Jones said.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time. Parnick Jennings Funeral Home and Cremation Services will make the arrangements available later this week.

Gallegos has been playing the best basketball of his career, scoring 20 points in each of his last two contests. Nebraska has also been stout on the defensive end, holding opponents to 58.6 ppg, while only one opponent has topped seven points this season.
The Huskers will be tested by a veteran Creighton squad which comes in with a 7-1 record following an 80-51 rout of St. Joseph's last Saturday. The Bluejays, which returned four starters from a 29-win team in 2011-12, are led by All-American Doug McDermott, who averages 21.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.
By the Numbers85.7- Shooting percentage of senior Andre Almeida over the Huskers last five games (24-of-28), a stretch where he is averaging 12.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocked shots per game. Almeida has made his last seven field goals dating back to the Wake Forest contest.
7- Straight meetings in the Nebraska-Creighton series won by the home team dating back to the 2005-06 season. The Huskers have won the last three matchups in the Devaney Center.
7- Number of scholarship players who played for the Huskers against USC, as Shavon Shields returned to action Monday night. Shields had two points and two assists in 10 minutes off the bench for the Huskers.
2006- The year of Nebraska's last non-conference home sellout, as the Huskers have sold over 12,000 tickets as of Wednesday morning.
Scouting CreightonThe Bluejays come to town with a 7-1 record, including wins over Wisconsin, Arizona State and St. Joseph's in the first month of the year. Creighton, which is ranked 13th and 16th, respectively in this week's polls, feature one of the nation's best offenses, averaging 82.6 points per game. Greg McDermott is in his third year at CU after coaching at Iowa State, Northern Iowa, North Dakota State and Wayne State. McDermott and Miles have squared off several times before during their days at the Division II level, but Thursday's game will be the first meeting of the two as Division I coaches since Dec. 31, 2006, a 67-54 win by Iowa State over North Dakota State.
Creighton features one of the nation's top players in junior forward Doug McDermott, who averages 21.3 points and 7.1 rebounds a game. McDermott is a returning first-team All-American and a reigning MVC Player of the Year. He is one of four starters back for Creighton, as senior forward Gregory Echenique (10.4 ppg, 6.5 rpg) mans the interior, while Grant Gibbs (7.3 ppg; 6.0 apg) and Austin Chatman (8.8 ppg; 4.8 apg) guide a prolific attack.
Series HistoryNebraska and Creighton are meeting for the 46th time in series history on Sunday, with the Cornhuskers holding a 25-20 advantage. The home team has held serve in recent years, with the home team winning the last seven matchups. Nebraska has won the last three games in Lincoln, including a 59-54 win over McDermott's squad during the 2010-11 season. Prior to 2006, the Huskers had won only once between 1999 and 2005, ending the Bluejays season in the 2004 NIT.
Last Season's GameDespite a career-high 29 points from Bo Spencer, the Huskers fell at No. 22 Creighton, 76-66, at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha. Spencer paced the Huskers with 29 points, hitting 10-of-16 shots from the floor and adding five rebounds, three assists and three steals in a losing effort.
Nebraska, which trailed by as many as nine points in the first half before regaining the lead midway through the second stanza, was within 46-45 with 9:15 remaining before Creighton got five points on a possession, taking advantage of a controversial technical foul on Toney McCray before Nebraska Coach Doc Sadler was called for a technical foul moments later. Doug McDermott hit three foul shots for CU before Grant Gibbs, who was fouled on the original play, added two more to take the Bluejays to a 51-45 lead. On Creighton's next possession, McDermott's three-point play put the Bluejays up 54-45 capping an 11-0 spurt that turned the tide of a well-played game through the first 30 minutes. McDermott led three Bluejays in double figures with 24 points and 12 rebounds, hitting 9-of-15 shots from the floor.
Last Time OutRay Gallegos had eight of his season-high 20 points in a decisive 19-2 spurt, as Nebraska improved to 6-1 on the season with an impressive 63-51 win over USC Monday night at the Devaney Center. Gallegos, who posted his second straight 20-point night, electrified a season-high crowd of 10,045, scoring the Huskers' final eight points of the half, turning a 25-all tie into a 33-25 halftime lead into the break. Gallegos scored Nebraska's final 11 points of the half, including a trio of 3-pointers, to stake the Huskers a lead they would not relinquish.
Nebraska, which improved to 6-1 on the season, took control on the defensive end of the floor after the break, holding USC without a field goal for the first 7:14 of the second half and a span of 10 minutes dating to the final minutes of the first half, as the Huskers built a 17-point lead, at 44-27, after Dylan Talley's 3-pointer with 13:40 left. The Huskers eventually pushed the lead to 20 points after Gallegos' career-best fifth 3-pointer of the evening, and cruised to a 12-point win. Dylan Talley joined Gallegos in double figures with 14 points, while Brandon Ubel had nine points, seven rebounds and a season-high four assists for the winners, who held USC (3-3) to 38 percent shooting.
Worth Noting from the USC Game
Fans Can Sign Pinnacle Bank Arena Beam on ThursdayMembers of the public are invited to sign the last steel beam that will be hoisted into Lincoln's Pinnacle Bank Arena. The West Haymarket Joint Public Agency will host two signing events this week to celebrate the project, including one on Thursday night. The beam will be on display in the Hendricks Training Complex on Thursday for the Nebraska-Creighton game. Fans will be able to sign the beam before the game or at halftime and the beam will be available to sign beginning at 5:30 p.m. A game ticket to Thursday's game is required for access.
The beam will also be presented on Dec. 7 at Iron Horse Park in the Haymarket district. The signing will run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., to coincide with the First Friday Art Walk.
Creep, Walk, Crawl, RunWith four new starters from last season and an eight-player rotation which includes only two players who saw the court last season, it has taken some time to implement a new offensive system and the headline has been a common mantra of Coach Miles during his first season on the job. Last year, his Colorado State team led the Mountain West Conference in field goal percentage, 3-point percentage and free throw percentage, ranking in the top-10 nationally in both free throw and 3-point percentage. The 2012-13 Huskers come into Thursday's contest with Creighton ranked seventh, 10th and seventh, in those respective categories, but come off a season-high 79 point performance against Wake Forest and a 63-point night against USC.
One area where Nebraska has made early strides is getting to the free throw line more often. NU averaged just 10.0 attempts in its first three games, but has more than doubled that in recent games. NU has averaged 20.0 free throw attempts in its last four contests.
Ubel Proving Offense, LeadershipSenior Brandon Ubel came into the 2012-13 season as the Huskers' most known quantity and NU's most experienced player - by a wide margin. Ubel came into this season with 59 career starts at Nebraska, while the remaining seven returnees had combined for seven career starts for the Scarlet and Cream.
While most known for his rebounding, Ubel has picked up the scoring slack in the early going, averaging 14.0 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, as he ranks among the Big Ten leaders in both categories.
Ubel, who had one double-double in his first three seasons, already has a pair of double-doubles in 2012-13, a 21-point, 12-rebound effort against Southern on Nov. 11, and a 17-point, 13-rebound outing in the loss to Kent State on Nov. 24. Ubel's 13 rebounds against the Golden Flashes were the second-highest total in the Big Ten this season.
Ubel, who averaged only 5.7 points per game over his first three seasons at Nebraska, has become more offensive-minded as a senior, reaching double figures in each of the Huskers' first seven contests despite averaging less than 10 attempts per contest. He is second in the Big Ten in field goal percentage, shooting at 62.3 percent.
He began the season with a career-high 21 points in the win over Southern before pacing Nebraska with 17 points in a 50-48 win over Horizon League favorite Valparaiso. Ubel had 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the loss to Kent State and 11 points in 18 minutes in the win over Wake Forest. Against USC, he was held to nine points, but grabbed seven rebounds, dished out four assists and limited USC's Dewayne Dedmon to just two points.
The 6-foot-10 forward is the Huskers' top returning rebounder (5.3 rpg) and second-leading scorer (6.7 ppg) while being one of the Huskers' most consistent performers at the free throw line. Ubel is eighth on Nebraska's career free throw percentage, as he went over 200 career free throw attempts on Nov. 24 against Kent State. Last year, Ubel shot 82.5 percent from the foul line.
Ubel closed out his junior season by playing some of the best basketball of his career, averaging 9.3 points on 68 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in the Huskers' final six contests. He reached double figures in scoring seven times in 2011-12, including a season-high 17 points against Iowa on Feb. 28, on a perfect 7-of-7 shooting from the floor.
Talley Takes Offensive RoleSenior Dylan Talley came into the 2012-13 season as the Huskers' most proven scorer and has shown versatility early in the season. The 6-foot-5 senior enters Thursday's game averaging 15.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. He is seventh in the league in scoring and 16th in rebounding while playing a league-high 35.5 minutes per game after being limited for most of last year with a thigh injury.
Talley put on a display against Kent State on Nov. 24, scoring a career-high 27 points, grabbing six rebounds and dishing out three assists, as Nebraska suffered its first loss. Talley is averaging 18.2 points per game over Nebraska's last five games, beginning the stretch with a then-NU best 22 points against Nebraska-Omaha on Nov. 18. He also paced the Big Red with 17 points and seven assists in a 61-57 win over Tulane on Nov. 21 and had 14 points and seven rebounds in the win at Wake Forest. Talley also finished with 14 points in the win over USC.
His biggest effort this year may have come in the only game he was held out of double figures. Against Valparaiso, Talley scored one point, but topped NU in rebounds (six) and assists (four) while holding reigning Horizon League Player of the Year Ryan Broekhoff to just 2-of-11 shooting in NU's 50-48 win.
In his first season at Nebraska, Talley tied for the Big Ten lead in scoring by a reserve, averaging 8.9 points per game, as he was in double figures 11 times. Talley has been a prolific scorer throughout his collegiate career, earning America East Conference Rookie-of-the-Year honors in 2009-10, averaging 11.8 points per game at Binghamton University. At Blinn (Texas) College, he was sixth nationally in scoring at 23.0 points per game.
Return of the RedshirtsWhile Nebraska had six returning letterwinners back from the 2011-12 team, it is a pair of returning redshirts who have taken the slack from a lineup which lost four starters from last year. Senior center Andre Almeida and junior guard Ray Gallegos have played major roles early on.
Almeida missed all of last season following a knee injury after playing 30 games in 2010-11, but has been healthy and playing solid basketball early on. He is averaging 9.4 points on 66 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, leading the Big Ten in field goal percentage and ranking third in blocked shots.
After a slow offensive start, Almeida is playing some of the best basketball of his career, averaging 12.0 points on an eye-popping 86 percent shooting, 5.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocked shots per game over the Huskers' last five games.
He enjoyed the best game of his career at Wake Forest, when he had 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting and a career high 11 rebounds to earn Big Ten Player-of-the-Week honors on Dec. 3. It marked the first time since 2009 that a Big Ten player had 20 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 90 percent from the field. He played just 15 minutes against USC because of foul trouble, but had eight points and three blocked shots in holding USC to a season-low 51 points. Almeida began the stretch against UNO on Nov. 18, when he had 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting, and matched his then-career best with seven rebounds. Against Tulane, the 6-foot-11 center keyed Nebraska's second half effort against Tulane on Nov. 21 with 10 points, six rebounds and four blocks, scoring nine of his 10 points in the second half.
In 2010-11, he averaged 5.2 points on 56 percent shooting, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots per game as the Huskers' top reserve in the post. Almeida reached double figures on five occasions, including a 20-point, seven-rebound effort in his debut against South Dakota. Two of Almeida's best efforts of 2010-11 came against a pair of top-five teams, as he had 10 points and seven rebounds at No. 3 Kansas and 10 points on 5-of-5 shooting and five rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench in Nebraska's win over third-ranked Texas. Almeida was a force on the defensive end, ranking sixth in the Big 12 in blocked shots.
While Almeida used his redshirt year to recover from injury, Gallegos worked on improving his shooting and all-around game and the changes have been evident early on in 2012-13.
Gallegos, who averaged 2.6 points per game in 2010-11, is third on the team in scoring at 14.0 points per game, leading the Big Ten with 3.3 3-pointer per game. He is shooting 41 percent from 3-point range and has been in double figures in six of the Huskers' first seven contests after reaching double figures just three times in his first two seasons.
Gallegos has been on fire the last two games, averaging 20.0 points per game while shooting 56 percent from 3-point range. He posted his second straight 20-point game against USC with 20 points, including a career-best six 3-pointers, while scoring the Huskers' final 11 points of the half to break open a tie game.
At Wake Forest on Nov. 27, he finished with a career-high 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting, as he made his first seven shots of the second half and totaled 17 of his 20 points after halftime. Gallegos has established career bests on three occasions in NU's first seven games, as he had 16 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, in the opener against Southern. His shooting also keyed NU's win over Valparaiso on Nov. 15, as he finished with 14 points, including four 3-pointers.
As a sophomore, he played in 25 games, including a start in the season opener, and averaged 2.8 points and 1.0 rebound per game. The Salt Lake City native's best game of 2010-11 came against Grambling, when he came off the bench for 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting.
20-20 VisionWhen Andre Almeida and Ray Gallegos enjoyed 20-point efforts against Wake Forest, it marked the first time since March 5, 2007, that the Huskers had multiple players with 20-point nights. In that game, Marcus Perry (25); Aleks Maric (23) and Paul Velander (20) all eclipsed the 20-point mark.
Husker IronmenWith a short bench, the Huskers have relied on their starters often through the early part of the season. Talley and Gallegos rank first and second, respectively, in the Big Ten in minutes per game whle NU has three players averaging over 30 minutes per night. Over the last 14 years, only one player - Charles Richardson Jr. in 2006-07 - has averaged more minutes than 32.5 minutes per game, while NU has two players on track this season to eclipse that mark.
Parker Makes A PointThe lone freshman in the Husker starting lineup, Benny Parker became only the 10th freshman to start a season opener since 1995. Parker has been steady early on, averaging 6.1 points on 51 percent shooting and 2.7 assists per game. Parker has a 2.0 assist-to-turnover ratio and has had one turnover or less in five of the Huskers' first seven games.
Parker dished out a career-high seven assists and had one turnover in Nebraska's 61-57 win over Tulane on Nov. 21, and totaled eight points, four assists and a career-high four steals at Wake Forest on Nov. 27. Against UNO on Nov. 18, he had eight points - all coming in the second half - after sitting most of the first half because of foul trouble. Parker also had seven points, three rebounds and three assists in a two-point win over Valparaiso on Nov. 15.
Parker was a four-year starter at Sumner Academy of Arts and Science, leading the school to an 85-15 mark and a pair of state titles during his high school career. As a senior, he averaged 24.8 points, 6.2 assists and 3.9 steals per game, winning the 2012 DiRenna Award, representing the top player in the Kansas City metro area.
Of Nebraska's three active point guards playing this season, two are Division I newcomers, as junior college transfer Mike Peltz joined the team in October. Sophomore Trevor Menke is the Huskers' other primary point guard, as junior college transfer Deverell Biggs is redshirting this season.
Huskers Look to Repeat 2006 Win over Ranked Creighton SquadIf Tim Miles needs any inspiration for the Huskers on Thursday, he can look back to the 2006-07 season. That year, another first-year Nebraska head coach knocked off a nationally ranked Creighton team, as Nebraska posted a 73-61 win over the No. 20 Bluejays. Freshman Ryan Anderson had 19 points to pace four Huskers in double figures, as the Huskers shot 67.6 percent from the field.
Rivers Looks to Get into Offensive FlowThroughout the summer and the preseason, one Husker returnee who was flying under the radar was sophomore David Rivers. The 6-foot-7 wing totaled only 20 points and 16 rebounds in 19 contests as a freshman, but has added nearly 20 pounds since last year and has made significant strides.
Rivers' improvement has been evident early on, as he has averaged 4.8 points and 4.0 rebounds per game as the Huskers' sixth man in 2012-13. He has already eclipsed his entire freshman year totals in points, rebounds and blocked shots in just seven games. Rivers has been a consistent scorer off the bench, totaling at least five points in five of the Huskers' seven games, including each of the last four.
Rivers played a major role at Wake Forest with five points, a career-best seven rebounds and two assists in the win at Wake Forest and had five points and four rebounds in 23 minutes against USC. Rivers had seven points and five rebounds against Valparaiso and established personal bests in minutes (27), rebounds (six) and assists (three) in the opener against Southern.
Shields Returns to Add DepthFor the first six games, Nebraska relied on eight scholarship players, as Shavon Shields missed five of NU's first six games with an elbow injury. The break follownig the Wake Forest game allowed Shields time to return to the court and he performed well against USC with two points, two assists and a steal in 10 minutes of action.
His return helps the Huskers depth, as NU has only nine scholarship players available for the 2012-13 season, a total which includes former walk-on Trevor Menke. Of NU's nine scholarship players, only four (Dylan Talley, Brandon Ubel, David Rivers and Menke) saw action for the Huskers during the 2011-12 season.
Shields also provides the Huskers with another scoring option, as only six players broke the scoring column in the Huskers' first three contests before Mike Peltz hit a 3-pointer in the win over Tulane. Nebraska has just 40 points off its bench in the first seven contests.
Walk-on Tradition ContinuesWhile the Nebraska football program is nationally known for its walk-on program, Nebraska basketball has a pair of walk-ons playing significant roles this season in Mike Peltz and Trevor Menke. Peltz joined the Husker roster in time for the start of practice in October, and has become a valuable role player early on.
A two-year starter at Western Nebraska Community College, Peltz has backed up Benny Parker at the point guard spot, but has also seen time at guard and forward, depending on the matchup. He has averaged 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in 17.1 minutes per game. Peltz played a career-high 22 minutes against Kent State, where he grabbed six rebounds, including four on the offensive glass, and had three rebounds and two assists in Monday's win over USC.
Sophomore Trevor Menke came to Nebraska as a walk-on, but was put on scholarship for this season for his efforts in the classroom and on the practice court. Menke, who played seven minutes as a redshirt freshman, played a career-high 16 minutes in Nebraska's season opener and has averaged 8.8 minutes per game in five contests. In addition, NU also has two other walk-ons who lettered last year in sophomores Jordan Tyrance and Kye Kurkowski.

For art, architecture, beautiful cities, top-class museums and galleries, Europe has it all, and all of it is accessible and fun. There is always something to do and something wonderful to see.
For example, crossing into the Dolomites via the Brenner Pass is a vacation for the senses. In summer, colourful flower blossoms carpet the meadows. Travellers on foot behold the ancient limestone peaks as they stroll past farmhouses, tiny villages, and onion-domed churches.
Le Corbusier called the Dolomites "the most beautiful architecture in the world."
Lake Garda, ideal for fishing, swimming, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, and yachting, has long attracted writers and thinkers. Goethe, Thomas Mann, and Sigmund Freud all holidayed here.
The city of Bolzano, ringed by ancient castles, offers insights into the Dolomites' rich history as well as its sophisticated pleasures. An ancient trading town once overseen by Tyrolean archduchess Claudia de Medici, it is today distinguished by its elegant shopping streets, gourmet shops, and colourful markets. While Italians visit it to "go abroad," northerners come to enjoy its Mediterranean climate.
Inspired by the fragrant orchards and lush vineyards of the city north of Bolzano, Kafka wrote: "Merano is the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen -- unforgettable, freer, broader, grander; the air is clearer and the sun stronger." Nearby Tyrol Castle, the ancestral home of nobility since 1140, dominates the valley. Nearby palatial hotels treat travellers royally.
In the west, Aosta Valley is girdled by Europe's four highest mountains (Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, and Gran Paradiso). Its French cultural heritage is evident at traditional carnivals and parades, marked by bountiful food and drink.
Lake Como stretches fjord-like for 50 miles from Lugano to the Bergamo Alps. Villas and vineyards are clustered at its southern end, and boats sail from picturesque lakeside towns such as Bellano and Como, Varenna and Lecco.
In Iceland, for stays of a couple of days, classic sightseeing attractions such as the "obligatory" Gullfoss waterfall, spouting Geysir and historic Þingvellir are always a stunning change from the urban landscape.
The Basque Country extends along the other side of the border, leading you into Spain. Bayonne, the capital of Labourd (the three French Basque provinces touching the sea), is the jewel in the crown of Basque urban heritage.
Bilbao is Spain's sixth-largest city and biggest port. It has a number of interesting secrets to reveal, as well as good food, and as a rail hub it serves as a centre for exploring some of the best attractions in the Basque country. Also, going west, towards the Atlantic Coast, you can visit Portuguese cities like Lisbon and Porto where old as well asmodern architecture meets beautiful beach landscapes.
Antwerp and diamonds: two concepts that have been closely related for over 500 years. Antwerp's diamond district is located close to the Central Station and contained within an area of one square mile.
The Groeninge Museum is Bruges' premier fine art museum holding a fabulous collection of Flemish masters such as Van der Weyden, Van Eyck, Memling, and Brueghel.
By day or by night, a magnificent way to explore Amsterdam is by boat. From the water you'll have an impressive view of the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam's daily life. At night, all the bridges are beautifully lit.
Britain is so steeped in history, so vibrant and so multi-cultural you can find something fascinating to do every day of the year, wherever you are. Spiralling outwards from London, the capital city, Britain offers everything from ancient castles to Sir Norman Foster cutting-edge buildings, from theme parks to zoos, from old pubs to new centres of entertainment. The really good news, and the envy of a lot of European cities, is that a lot of Britain's best known attractions are completely free.
Capture the imagination with a visit to one of Ireland's castles, monuments, stately homes, or beautiful gardens, many with compelling tales of times gone by.
In Norway a guided tour by bus, sightseeing train or boat is a great way of seeing Bergen's attractions and learning about the city. An organized bus tour of central Bergen which will include visits to some of the museums and attractions, is an excellent way of whetting the appetite for looking at Bergen in more detail later.
Bergen is the gateway to the fjords of Western Norway. Whether you only have time for a short sightseeing trip, or whether you want to see the area in more detail, there are plenty of tours to provide you with unforgettable memories.
The Carpathian Mountains form the largest mountain range in Europe.
The Balkan Peninsula forms the southeast part of Europe, a region where different cultures.
The Mediterranean Region defies description; so rich is it in dramatic history and bewitching scenery.

A playful crop with a cuff-ready hem sports vigorous deconstruction to give a worked-in appearance. The mid-blue Prospect Repair wash is distressed to perfection with hazy whiskering at the hip and wrinkling at back knee. Self-fabric patchwork, heavy wear at pockets and waistband, and threadbare holes at knees and thighs bring an authentically beat up look. Classic 5-pocket styling with zip fly and button closure.
