FORECASTING THE WEATHER
If the wind shifts to the north or northeast behind a cold front, the front is becoming stationary and is likely to return as a warm front. If the wind is a strong northwesterly, it means the front is moving out. If the wind is more southerly than forecast, the weather will be worse than forecast.

BUYING A DIGITAL CAMERA
A 6 megapixel digital camera offers plenty of resolution for snapshots, web publishing, and even 8x10 prints, and is adequate for 16x20 prints. For 20x30 posters, full-page magazine photography, and the like, 10 megapixels would be a better idea. Generally speaking, a top-notch 6MP camera takes better pictures than a cheapo 10MP camera.
