If asked to name all of the holidays in February, residents of Liberal would be able to name off one more than most people: Pancake Day.
Since 1950, Liberal has been competing against the English town of Olney in foot races with a twist – entrants must wear a headscarf and apron while carrying a skillet containing a pancake. The pancake must be flipped once at the beginning of the race and once at the end.
This tradition is relatively new to Liberal when compared to the history that Olney, England, holds. As the story goes, in 1445, a woman was using up her cooking fats before Lent by making pancakes for breakfast. When the church bells began to ring, she dashed out of her front door with her skillet.

There are a lot of challenges to face when attending college in present times. An average student has to deal with many problems on a day-to-day basis.
On top of school, most college students have to hold down a part time and even a full-time job in order to attend and pay for schooling.

As others were preparing for the Christmas season by putting up decorations, baking, and buying gifts, Christian music artists Big Daddy Weave and Dara Maclean were bringing Christmas joy by performing across the Mid-West. The musicians performed in five locations in Ohio, Texas, Okla., and even right here in Liberal, for a free concert on Dec. 18, 2011. The local Christian radio station, KJIL 99.1 FM located in Meade, sponsored the concert and made it possible to be a free concert.
The “Christ is Come” tour featured songs such as the traditional carols, “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Silent Night,” “Angels We Have Heard on High” and more, as well as new Christmas songs, such as “Glory,” “I’ll Be Brave This...

Google’s Chrome has quickly been catching up to both Internet Explorer and Firefox in terms of amount of users, and the browser is even expected to pass Firefox within one year, only a few years after its Sep. 2, 2011 debut.
Appearance
The two things first-time Chrome users will notice are probably the browser’s speed and simplicity. Google has been known to simplify its other services, and there is no exception with Chrome.
The first thing users will notice after the extremely quick Chrome 15 install is the New Tab Page. This page includes bookmarks, recent sites, favorite sites, and a separate tab for Google apps. The usual title bar is replaced with a tab bar on top and navigation bar right below it. Chrome’s menu has...
