Molly Milwaukee

Oh..

Have you heard the news? The Bachelor scandal has hit the airwaves from the front page of Yahoo to the corridors at Kohl's corporate where Molly works.

The Journal-Sentinel has this to write, "First off, Molly Malaney hasn't quit her Milwaukee job and isn't moving to Seattle anytime soon to start a new life with "The Bachelor," despite rumors to the contrary.

And the 24-year-old Malaney is adamant that this week's conclusion to the latest run of ABC's "reality" romance fantasy wasn't fixed.

Malaney has heard the stories about how the ending - Jason Mesnick at first picked former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Melissa Rycroft, proposed to her and then came back to Malaney - followed a script.

"Nothing about the show is scripted, and there was nothing about the ending that was planned," she tells Inside TV & Radio. "All of that stuff is false.

"There are real feelings involved, and Jason was just trying to follow his heart. Unfortunately, people are not happy about that."

So what do you think?

Milwaukee's Sexy Lake Effect

So what is lake effect snow? According to Wikipedia it's...



Lake-effect snow is produced in the winter when cold winds move across long expanses of warmer lake water, providing energy and picking up water vapor which freezes and is deposited on the lee shores. The same effect over bodies of salt water is called ocean effect snow, sea effect snow, or even bay effect snow. The effect is enhanced when the moving air mass is uplifted by the orographic effect of higher elevations on the downwind shores. This uplifting can produce narrow, but very intense bands of precipitation, which deposit at a rate of many inches of snow each hour and often bringing copious snowfall totals. The areas affected by lake-effect snow are called snowbelts. This effect occurs in many locations throughout the world, but is best known in the populated areas of the Great Lakes of North America.

If the air temperature is not low enough to keep the precipitation frozen, it falls as lake-effect rain. In order for lake-effect rain or snow to form, the air moving across the lake must be significantly cooler than the surface air (which is likely to be near the temperature of the water surface). Specifically, the air temperature at the altitude where the air pressure is 850 millibars (roughly 1.5 vertical kilometres) should be 13°C lower than the temperature of the air at the surface. Lake-effect occurring when the air at 850 millibars is much colder than the water surface can produce thundersnow, snow showers accompanied by lightning and thunder (due to the larger amount of energy available from the increased instability).

RUMOUR MILL: "Is it true Harry? "Harry W. Schwartz going out of business.

Rumour Status: True

A little bird told me that Harry W. Bookstores are going out of business come this February 2009. That is quite sad if true and I might have to take the week off if that is the case; first a case of the blues, then wine, then the mean reds, then I dunno... old movies and swiss chocolate night.

What will we do with our time? Is Quimby's worth the drive?

HWS is one of the few proud local institutions where 

you can browse, meet people and drink good coffee with friends. It's lovely. So no matter if it is true Harry, I'll forgive you if it is not, and definitely will remember you long after you go out of business, because class like yours NEVER goes out of style. iHeartHarry.

As words of consolidation, it looks like the store might open under new management and this institution will be sorely missed. More
