Ten Buck Friday was a success in seeing a majority of Republicans elected to the Senate and Harry Reid being relegated back to the Recycling Bin of History.
But there is one Senate race still undecided in Louisiana and that's our man Bill Cassidy against Mary "I live in Washington, D.C. but I list my residence as my parents' basement in LA so I can vote here" Landrieu.
A runoff means more campaigning, more advertising and more expenses. While it is true that the DSCC has officially withdrawn their ad buys for their dubious candidate, I'm sure there will be a host of surrogates trying to raise money for poor Mary, so she doesn't have to go out and get a real job. (And maybe really move in with her parents this time!)
So, I'm sure there will be tons of breathless fundraising emails about how Republicans eat babies and that's why the want to ban all forms of birth control, and, BTW, did you know they want to replace the national anthem with Tony Orlando's "Knock Three Times"? Crazy!
All of the sudden, after sitting on her hands for six years, Mary Landfill is a crusader for the Keystone XL pipeline. Not for getting it passed necessarily, but for bring it to a vote that she hopes will not sustain her president's veto.
Let me congratulate all of you for kicking Harry Reid's keister to the curb. Well done! And, unlike most politicians, I hate to keep coming back to you for money, so I promise, this is the last time!
Think of the nice warm schadenfreude feeling you got when Harry Reid was demoted. Now think of how warm and fuzzy you'll feel going into the holidays, if we give Mary Landrieu her just desserts as well?
Let's go the the well one last time before the holidays start taking up our time and energy, before the December runoff, and give an early present to Bill Cassidy (and yourself) of a larger majority in the US Senate.
Think how much happier Barack Obama will be at the prospect of governing in a bi-partisan manner. Actually, think of how much damage from the last six years needs to be undone over Barack Obama's vetoes and objections.
Just ten more bucks. It's what we honorary Koch brothers do.

Election Night Analysis: Our Nation's Future
Apologies for a lack of posting the last few days. I must confess a certain amount of distress at Obama's re-election. To say that the news was disheartening would be too mild. The ramifications of another four years of leftism will certainly try our patience and perseverance but soldier on we must in the name of conservatism. What choice do we have? That said, posting will likely be light in the near future as I recharge and tend to some off-line activities.
In the mean time, I recently received a newsletter from my friend and fellow southeast Texan, Peter Morrison that I would like to share with you. If you haven't subscribed to his newsletter, I urge you to do so. Keep the faith my friends, after all, God is in charge.
Election Night Analysis: Our Nation's Future – The Peter Morrison Report
I know a lot of you are in shock today with the results of the election. In the Peter Morrison Report, one of my continuing themes is that the problems America faces demographically are becoming more and more intractable. I kind of expected this to happen, though like a lot of you I was hopeful over the last few weeks. The root of the word patriotism is the Latin word for father, and I would compare the emotional hurt washing over the conservative movement to that of caring for an aging parent with a degenerative disease. You know how the story is going to end, but it is very painful every step of the way as you see it happen. Last night America took one more step towards the abyss.
I cannot blame the Romney campaign for the loss. In the debates, Romney mostly held the line on taxes, immigration and other issues. Some may have felt that he was the lesser of two evils, but he was a lot lesser of an evil than McCain in 2008. It's a shame, because Romney was probably the smartest person to run for President since the Founders, and if he would have continued his data-driven approach to management in government, he could have done a lot of good. In the America of 2012, being successful and smart can unfortunately be a political liability, not an asset. Many Americans would rather the affirmative action poster boy who's never worked a real job in his life.
Romney is a numbers guy, and so we now know he was absolutely correct when he stated behind closed doors that 47% of the nation was automatically against him because of government dependency; Obama only needed a few "useful idiots" to deliver the election. I think Romney saw the polls last week and decided on a risky strategy of playing for Pennsylvania as his only way out. Just as it was 149 years ago, the fate of the nation was decided in Pennsylvania. The Romney campaign may be remembered as the Pickett's charge of the conservative movement, a last desperate effort to stave off the cruel arithmetic of superior numbers overcoming principle and valor.
Last night on Fox News, the Bush-Rove wing of the Republican Party was on the air pointing fingers at Romney's immigration policies as the cause of his loss. This is false because Romney and McCain both did about as well among Hispanics despite McCain being the biggest immigration panderer to the right of Ted Kennedy. It is amazing, however, to see the Cheap Labor Lobby attempt to
squeeze out one last ounce of profit as the Republic burns. The simpler explanation is that many members of minority groups are simply racist against the party most white people happen to vote for. Take Asian Americans, for example. If any group should be Republican, it should be this group, as they earn more money and pay more in taxes than white Americans. They, along with whites, bear the brunt of affirmative action policies; Barack Obama is the living personification of why their kids have to score 200 points higher on the SAT to get into the Ivy League. Yet, exit polls revealed they voted about 70% for Obama. I'm afraid Karl Rove's bright idea that these groups will vote in their individual self-interest (if we pander to them) instead of on an irrational ethnic basis is delusional. It would be nice for Republicans if the facts were different and we could build a multi-ethnic, colorblind, conservative America, but the evidence is quite to the contrary.
If we can take comfort in anything, it's that the debt and spending binge of the federal government cannot go on forever. If something cannot go on forever, at some point it must stop. Like the remainder of Lee's army after Gettysburg, it is our duty to keep fighting to the bitter end, in hopes that Providence might shine upon our cause before it is too late. We must contest every single inch of ground and delay the baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every opportunity. But in due time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel of flesh off of the rotting corpse of the Republic, and therein lies our opportunity.
For the liberals are at war not with just the conservative core of this country, but rather with God and Nature. You simply cannot, in perpetuity, take more and more people out of productive work and onto the government dole. Just as the Soviet Union fell, and Rome with its bread and circuses fell, this government will fall, and a remnant of the American people may, with God's help, redeem some portion of our founding vision.
In probably the most unintentionally Orwellian lyric in country music, Lee Greenwood sang "the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away." Lee was right about that, but it's cold comfort when "they" can take away everything else. "They" re-elected Obama last night. He is their President. And we must admit to ourselves at some point, it is now their country. Just as Scotland is currently contemplating her own independence from Great Britain, it is time for the more conservative constituent parts of this country to consider whether this sacred union is really quite so sacred anymore. Countries all over the world, like the Baltic States and the Czech Republic, have been over the last 20 years securing amicable divorces as the most humane way to settle fundamental cultural differences that lead to the type of governmental paralysis and partisan division we see in America today. The bond between a husband and wife is sacred. National borders, once they have exhausted their historical purpose, are not.
In this respect, Texas can lead the way. Texas was once its own country, and many Texans already think in nationalist terms about their state. We need to do everything possible to encourage a long-term shift in thinking on this issue. Why should Vermont and Texas live under the same government? Let each go her own way in peace, sign a free trade agreement among the states and we can avoid this gut-wrenching spectacle every four years.
In the near term, we have very important battle coming up for the Texas House Speaker. Joe Straus is once again being challenged by a true conservative. Start calling your state representatives now to let them know that we will remember how they vote in 2014. If voting is the best revenge, the low turnout of an off-year Republican primary will offer many opportunities for payback. I'm sure I'll be in touch as the situation develops.

I may have recommended these before somewhere, but they deserve their own thread.
When I am low on my road bike I get a pain in my neck from having to put my heads up so that I can see out of my spectacles, rather than above them.
I had a local Optician create some cycling glasses with very tall frames on top of some half framed reading glasses. My eyes end up looking like those of Goofy (cartoon dog) but the tall glasses allow me to look out of the tops of my eyes, limited only by my brows. They really need to be this tall to be able to achieve this.
I heartily recommend them. Spandex looks silly too but we wear it because it works.

Happy Birthday, Jesse Williams — Celebrating the 33-Year-Old's Buttoned-Up Fashion (PHOTOS)
Today, August 5, we celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the day that the world was #blessed with an incomparable blend of talent, looks, and pectoral muscles — i.e. the 33rd birthday of one Jesse Williams ;(Jackson Avery)!
And to celebrate the occasion, we thought we'd pay tribute to Jesse's sartorial swagginess — and his incorrigible habit of buttoning his shirts up to the very top button. Looks uncomfortably warm to us, but hey, no one said being so fashionable was easy work.
So click through to see more pics of the birthday boy looking ever so handsome and oh-so-debonair… but don't expect to see a lot of neck!
Hope this Grey's Anatomy stud ;lives it up on his special day — even if it means going unbuttoned. Happy birthday, dude!

The meeting between Lauderdale County supervisors and the E911 Commission started with director John Mott going over the budget item by item, including a controversial proposal regarding dropping the charge for rent and utilities.
"The commission instructed me to come here today and request that the rent be removed, which was $32,955," said Mott.
Craig Hitt is chairman of the Commission as well as a member of the Board of Supervisors. He made his feelings plain.
"But I do think that the 911 office space should be paying rent just like other entities in Lauderdale County are paying rent on county buildings," Hitt said.
County administrator Tony Green said just because the county owns the building doesn't mean it is operating cost-free. There are monthly expenses.
"Those accumulate to almost $4,000 a month that we're spending, that the county is actually paying, so we're trying to use part of this rental income from E911 to defray those county expenses and I think that needs to be brought up," said Green.
No one spoke up in opposition and the decision was made. Rent and utilities stayed in.
The budget shortfall goes back up to $243,000. The interlocal agreement between the two entities calls for the county and city to each pay half.

I would like to have a window with a simple form (radio buttons and so on). Users can make there selections and press a "Submit" button. Additionally to that I would like to set some time limits. In more details, user should see how many seconds he/she still have (so, there should be a timer). If the time limit is exceeded, program close the window and submit a "default" selection.
As far as I understand I need to generate 2 threads for that. One will monitor the user activity in the window (which radio button is selected and so on).
Another thread should create a timer which check the remaining time every second and put this information, in some way, into the window.
Moreover, these two thread should be able to kill each other. For example, if the "Submit" button is pressed, the first thread kills the timer. Or if the time is exceeded the second thread (timer) kill the first process.
Is it a good architecture? I need your opinion since I do such kind of things for the first time.

A photo of two military mothers nursing their babies while in unbuttoned airman battle uniforms has created quite a stir on the Internet.
Air Force Sgt. Terran Echegoyen McCabe and Staff Sgt. Christina Luna - both in active service - agreed to be photographed in support of Breastfeeding Awareness Month for the Mom2Mom Breastfeeding Support Group [1].
"I'm proud to be wearing a uniform while breastfeeding," McCabe told the Today Show [2]. "I'm proud of the photo and I hope it encourages other women to know they can breastfeed whether they're active duty, guard or civilian."
But apparently, the women violated a policy that forbids military members from using the uniform to further a cause, promote a product or imply an endorsement, said Capt. Keith Kosik, spokesman for the Washington National Guard.
Crystal Scott, founder of Mom2Mom, was shocked that the photos have caused such controversy.
"A lot of people are saying it's a disgrace to the uniform," she said. "They're comparing it to urinating and defecating [while in uniform]."
What do you think?

For all the CapEd customers wondering if you had to adjust your route on your daily or weekly errands, no worries, CapEd is not planning on building or moving their location now or in the near future according to Berry Prindle, Business Development Specialist, at CapEd. Denied again. It was just a rumor.
On the McDonalds front it's looking good. Building permits are waiting to be picked up at City Hall. Woot, Woot.
As another birthday is on the horizon and we sit and hope it would just pass us by. Is age just a state of mind?
Do you remember when you where a kid? Age 30 looked so old. It was pointed out to me the other day that the older you get the younger 30, 40, 50 and so on looks. Thirty is the new 20, 40 is the new 30, matter of fact 30 seems young to me now. If you're past this age you'll understand.
As the years go by certain things begin to annoy you, making you feel slightly older. Like when they advertise the 'Golden Oldies' music that you are quite familiar with as it was the year you graduated from high school. You know the one, with the guy blurting out at you to buy them while they last, get it while you can, before you are six feet under? Does he know something I don't?
I frequently find myself saying things my parents used to say. When this happens I quickly look in the mirror to make sure it was really me and not my mother I just heard talking. And for you that are not aware, growing old and gravity seem to go hand in hand. You start getting referred to as Ma'am instead of Ms. Hair starts growing where there shouldn't be any and it stops growing in places you want it too! Wrinkles, dry skin, bad backs, gray hair. What did you say? Oh, how about your hearing. I wont even mention your memory. What was I talking about?
More grooming is needed and by now we just don't have the time to pluck, color, wax, whiten, shave, or diet to enhance the way we look.
I hear with age comes wisdom. Or wait until your golden years. So as I get one year older I don't feel any smarter and I'm still searching for those golden years. That must mean that the new 50 is really 40. So I'm good. Did I just say that? Excuse me, I seem to hear my mother calling.

Office of Accounting
Imaging and Documentation Services (IDS)
Document Preparation
Doc Prep is the process of preparing documents for imaging. Documents that are not properly prepared can damage expensive imaging equipment and can negatively affect the overall quality of images.
Doc prep is required for documents submitted for payment or other administrative processing and approval as well as documentation submitted for imaging directly to Imaging and Documentation Services (IDS).
Documents submitted directly for imaging may be sent to:
Imaging and Documentation Services
MAI 132; Campus Mail Code K6000
(For larger quantities please contact IDS staff for further instruction.)
Departments must retain copies of each document submitted for processing or direct imaging until they have reviewed the image in the Image Retrieval System (IRS).
- Once you have verified that the image of your documentation is complete and accurate in the IRS your retained copy may be destroyed.
- Contact IDS if you identify an issue with an image, or if the image does not appear in the IRS within seven days of submission for imaging (this may vary due to payment processing, campus mail delivery, or other factors). You will be required to provide your retained copy if the document needs to be re-imaged.
Guidelines for Doc Prep are listed below. The document creator will be contacted to resolve any issues with submitted documents that are not prepared in accordance with these guidelines.
Doc Prep Guidelines:
- All documents submitted must have a cover sheet that conforms to the following rules. The cover sheet
contains information that determines how a document will be categorized, imaged, and retained.
- The cover sheet is also known as the Voucher Transmittal Form (VTF). The VTF can be printed using the PRT action of the document in *DEFINE.
- There can be only one cover sheet (VTF) per document to be imaged. If the support documentation for a voucher is comprised of other vouchers containing coversheets you must write BACKUP in marker on each supporting voucher coversheet. (See sample.)
- Attach your supporting documentation to the coversheet with ONE staple in the upper left-hand corner. You must use a staple. Do not use paperclips for this purpose. Documents that are too large for a single staple may be rubber banded with the coversheet stapled to the first few pages of the document.
- Do not use rubber bands to batch groups of documents that should be imaged separately. Only use rubber bands for single documents with voluminous back-up.
- All supporting documentation that is smaller than a standard 8½" X 11" sheet of paper, such as receipts and notes, must be taped down to a standard 8½" X 11" sheet of paper. When taping these items, ALWAYS tape all four sides of each item. Not doing this will cause damage to the documentation during the scanning process. (Note: DO NOT USE STAPLES TO ATTACH MULTIPLE RECEIPTS TO BLANK PAPER. USE TAPE ONLY).
- IDS imaging equipment is set to image standard 8½" X 11" paper. The following items cannot be imaged
and should not be sent as supporting documentation:
- Oversized Backup: Oversized Backup is any backup that is larger than a standard 8½" X 11" sheet of paper. Oversized backup must be reduced to 8½" X 11" before submitting it to IDS. Because the reduced copy is not an original invoice, to be in compliance with UT payment guidelines it must be certified as an original invoice that was copied for scanning purposes.
- Onion Paper: Onion paper is an extremely thin paper that vendors sometimes use to print receiving slips, invoices, etc. on. It tears when going through the scanners, so it must be copied onto a standard 8½" X 11" sheet of paper before submitting it to IDS. Because the copy is not an original invoice, to be in compliance with UT payment guidelines it must be certified as an original invoice that was copied for scanning purposes
- Envelopes
- Business Cards
- Newspaper clippings
- Fabric Samples
If you have any questions about how to properly prepare documents, please contact Imaging and Documentation Services.

Make sure your teen practices parking in different situations. Let them know that parking is always prohibited in front of driveways, fire hydrants and intersections. Have them check for parking signs near crosswalks and stop signs.
Angle parking
To practice parking at an angle, have your teen:
- Signal and slow or stop the vehicle 6 - 8 feet from the parking space.
- Check your blind spot on the side of the parking space for traffic and pedestrians.
- Begin your turn when you can see the center of the parking space without your line of sight cutting across the parking line.
- Move very slowly and turn the wheel sharply toward the center of the space. Once you enter the space, straighten the wheels and center the vehicle in the space.
- Stop even with the curb or parking line.
Perpendicular parking
Help your teen practice the following approach to perpendicular parking:
- Signal and get 6 - 8 feet from the parked cars or as far to the left of the lane as possible.
- Check traffic behind you. Drive slowly and turn the wheel sharply to the right.
- Check your right rear fender for clearance and straighten the wheel when you are centered in the space.
- If necessary, shift to reverse and move back slightly turning the wheel to the left. Use a forward reference point to avoid hitting a curb.
Parallel parking
Help your teen practice the following approach to parallel parking:
- Check the rearview mirror and signal. Stop 2 - 3 feet from the front vehicle and line up rear bumpers.
- Shift to reverse. Look behind you while slowly backing into the space. Turn wheel fully toward the curb. When the vehicle is angled 45 degrees to the curb, and your front wheels align with the back wheels of the other car, straighten the tires and slowly back up in a straight line.
- Check the front of your car to make sure it clears. When your left rear bumper is even with the rear vehicle left front bumper, turn wheels sharply left and continue to inch back.
- When parallel to the curb, straighten the wheels and center your vehicle in the space.
To leave a parallel parking space, have your teen follow these steps:
- Shift your car to reverse and inch back until you can see the front car's rear tires.
- Check your blind spot for pedestrians and traffic. Signal and yield to other traffic.
- Turn your wheel sharply to the left and slowly pull out of the space.
- Search your intended path of travel, turn off your signal and check your rearview mirror.
Parking on hills
To practice parking on a hill, ask your teen to:
- Choose a legal space and signal. Check your review mirror and blind spots.
- Apply the brake and approach parallel to and 12 inches from the curb. Make a smooth stop and shift into neutral.
- Turn the wheels in the proper direction. If facing up hill with curb, turn wheels left, toward the roadway. If facing down hill with curb, turn wheel right, toward the curb.
- Secure vehicle by shifting to park and setting your parking brake.

The three of them were the only ones participating, but many of their later videos have featured [[SpecialGuest additional players]].Along with their official long-running [=LPs=], they have done one-shot filler [=LPs=] (labeled "The Runaway Gaiden"), tournaments featuring multitudes of guest players, and side collab projects that they gradually update and use as filler between regular projects.On occasion at PennyArcade Expo (PAX), the Runaway Guys have their own panel, called ''Thrown Controllers'', essentially a game show inspired by ''NickArcade''. In its debut at PAX East 2012, two teams took turns answering questions and playing video game challenges, either against each other, solo, or against members of the audience. At PAX Prime 2012, they {{retool}}ed the game ([[MurphysLaw mostly due to the previous iteration being plagued by technical problems and a sluggish pace]]) into a single-person quiz show with challenges, similar to the initial concept except for one person at a time, and this is how it has been done since. Many prizes are awarded at these panels, ranging from character pins from Fangamer to (as a grand prize) an actual video game console, such as a Nintendo3DS or a WiiU.They have a ShoutOut page [[ShoutOut/TheRunawayGuys here]], a Character Sheet [[Characters/TheRunawayGuys here]], a HoYay page [[HoYay/TheRunawayGuys here]], an EpicFail page [[EpicFail/TheRunawayGuys here]], and a DrinkingGame [[DrinkingGame/TheRunawayGuys here]].----!!

When it comes to digital and marketing innovations for films, Red Chillies Entertainments Pvt Ltd has been at the top of the game. They have proved it yet again with their trailer launch of Farah Khan directed film 'Happy New Year'.
Red Chillies not just involved fans in the launch of the trailer that took place in Mumbai on August 14, but also opened up many new platforms for the fans to view the trailer as the launch happened. This was the first time that newer platforms on digital medium were opened for the trailer keeping the user preference in mind. Red Chillies used all possible Digital Platforms - Social Media, Mobile (VAS), DTH& Application Economy to ensure a large user preferred reach for the trailer.
While most of the films opt for the conventional Youtube platform, 'Happy New Year' trailer was first launched on Facebook's native video player using an application wherein the trailer was not only launched on the Facebook page of Happy New Year but also the timelines of all the users who subscribed to the app. "In keeping with the tradition of innovation established by Red Chillies, we were delighted to launch the trailer of Happy New Year for the first time across multiple platforms. This was also done to meet the demands of fans who are consuming talent in ways that suit them. This has given the trailer an unprecedented footprint and delighted the fans," said Venky Mysore, CEO RCE.
If this isn't enough, the trailer was also launched on the native video player of Twitter with personalized messages from the cast of HNY. "Red Chillies and the cast of Happy New Year understand the value of developing live, personal and interactive connections with their audience, which is only possible on Twitter. From the entire cast and crew sharing every moment of film production on Twitter via their personal handles to their launching personalized trailers and posters on Twitter, Happy New Year has set a new national and global standard in the movie business," said Rishi Jaitley, Market Director, Twitter India. The Trailer was also launched on the conventional platform of Youtube on all channels of the partners (Music Distributors T-Series and Film Distributors Yash Raj Films) on the film along with Red Chillies' official channel. The total views of the trailer from all platforms cross a record breaking number of 4 million in 24 hours.

Attorney for the Damned: Clarence Darrow in the Courtroom
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989. 552 pages.
Reprinted from the 1957 edition. "Clarence Darrow [was] perhaps the most effective courtroom opponent of cant, bigotry, and special privilege that our country has produced. All of Darrow's most celebrated pleas are here — in defense of Leopold and Loeb (1924), of Lieutenant Massie (1932), of Big Bill Haywood (1907), of [John] Thomas Scopes (1925), and of himself for attempted bribery," writes the reviewer for The New Yorker.

Alfonso Ribeiro
Birth Name: Alfonso Ribeiro

Birth Place: New York City, New York, USA
Born: 09/21/1971
Birth Place: New York City, New York, USA
Born Sept. 21, 1971 in New York City, Alfonso Lincoln Ribeiro possessed immense talent as a dancer and actor from a very young age, bringing to life the title role in the 1983 Broadway musical "The Tap Dance Kid." Building on his momentum, he starred in one of Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercials, after Jackson has spotted him in the hit play. The commercial, in which Ribeiro, donning the red leather "Beat it Jacket," moonwalks into his idol on a city street, sparked an urban legend about his supposed on-set death due to his eye-popping breakdancing moves. After a few screen appearances, he succeeded Jason Bateman as the designated sidekick of poor little rich boy Ricky Schroder for the last ... Continue Bio >>

I work in transportation planning so I see aerials all the time. There are a myriad of great aerial sites out there and some are free. The resolution varies, but you can usually pick out lane lines and such. If it is in the US, search the county auditor's or the county engineer's website for their GIS data and look at the aerials.
Many times the linework data is saved in a dxf format as well, so you could bring in Edge of Pavement and building outines into Illustrator or some other vector program to create something.

"Spring has sprung, the grass has ris', I wonder where the birdies is?" Okay, had to get my annual first of spring poem in here. Almost forgot, so thanks to weather observer and faithful reader Tyler Mode.
Okay before we go too far let's review some rainfall from February from your friends and neighbors: Murphy Dennis, near Clark County Rifles, 8.40 inches; Claudia Chiasson, Carson, 8.85 inches; Tyler Mode, Battle Ground, 5.10 inches; Judy Darke, Felida, 3.28 inches; Irv St. Germain, S.W. Prune Hill, 4.55 inches; Bob Starr, Cougar, 16.14 inches; Robin Ruzek, Lakeshore, 2.85 inches; Phil Delany, above Dole Valley, 11.40 inches; Bud Maddux, Home Valley, 5.71 inches; Pete Conrad near Tukes Mountain, 4.65 inches; Nancy Ellifrit, Mount Vista, 5.54 inches; Larry Lebsack, N.E. Hazel Dell, 4.28 inches; Merle Moore, two miles west of Yacolt 8.34 inches; Dave Campbell, one mile west of Heisson, 5.79 inches; Tyler Mode from his Minnehaha station, 3.14 inches; Dan Hein, Camas, 5.12 inches; Barry Fitzthum, Amboy, 7.98 inches; Gary Collins, Brush Prairie, 5.10 inches; Jim Knoll, Five Corners, 4.26 inches; Chuck Houghten, Hockinson Heights, 7.01 inches; and Ellen Smart, Ridgefield 3.40 inches.
Needless to say many of the weather observers in the higher elevations had anywhere from 12 inches last month reported by Phil Delany to over 25 inches observed by Bob Starr, most of that falling in the last five days or so. Of course we had that surprise March 1 snowfall as well.
No record highs on tap for this week, as blustery March weather will take hold with wind and rain along the coast and mountain snows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by KrabbyK Matcha Green Tea dark chocolate bar is delicious. My son sent me this bar for Christmas, as I am a matcha tea and dark chocolate fan. I had never seen any tea bar like this and I loved it! It is smooth on the way down, not too sweet, not too bitter. When he told me where he found it, I ordered several more for home and office. Its the perfect combination for me...Yummm!! February 26, 2014

Adam Martin, a fan attending a University of Minnesota college hockey game on Valentine's Day, knew there was a chance the arena's kiss cam might land on him and his sister at his side.
He came to the game prepared.
Pulling out a sign that read "MY SISTER" and had an arrow pointing to his left, he held it up when the camera pointed to him and put Adam and his sister on the jumbotron.
The university said the shot wasn't staged, and that it wasn't told what he was planning to do.
