The cloudiest month of 2005 was January, with 90% of days being more cloudy than clear. The longest spell of cloudy weather was from January 15 to January 31, constituting 17 consecutive days that were cloudier than they were clear.
This station reports the quantity of liquid precipitation but not observations of weather events in the area. For this reason, this section will only discuss the quantity of precipitation and not its type.
The day with the largest quantity of precipitation was April 28. That day saw 1.047" of liquid (or liquid equivalent) precipitation, compared to a median value of 0.122". The month with the most precipitation was April, with 3.327", compared to a median value of 1.744".
As determined by quantitative measurements, the longest dry spell was from February 21 to March 19, constituting 27 consecutive days with no measured precipitation. The month with the largest fraction of dry days was July, with 97% of days reporting no measured precipitation at all.
The month with the largest fraction of days with at least some measured precipitation was December, with 48% of days reporting some measured precipitation.
Either snow is exceptionally rare at this location or this station did not reliably report it during 2005.
Humidity is an important factor in determining how weather conditions feel to a person experiencing them. Hot and humid days feel even hotter than hot and dry days because the high level of water content in humid air discourages the evaporation of sweat from a person's skin.
When reading the graph below, keep in mind that the hottest part of the day tends to be the least humid, so the daily low (brown) traces are more relevant for understanding daytime comfort than the daily high (blue) traces, which typically occur during the night. Applying that observation, the least humid month of 2005 was July with an average daily low humidity of 17%, and the most humid month was January with an average daily low humidity of 79%.
But it is important to keep in mind that humidity does not tell the whole picture and the dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find a given set of weather conditions. Please see the next section for continued discussion of this point.
Dew point is the temperature below which water vapor will condense into liquid water. It is therefore also related to the rate of evaporation of liquid water. Since the evaporation of sweat is an important cooling mechanism for the human body, the dew point is an important measurement for understanding how dry, comfortable, or humid a given set of weather conditions will feel.
Generally speaking, dew points below 50°F will feel a bit dry to some people, but comfortable to people accustomed to dry conditions; dew points from 50°F to 68°F are fairly comfortable to most people, and dew points above 68°F are increasingly uncomfortable, becoming oppressive around 77°F.
To take some examples, and basing our categorization on the daily high dew point in 2005, January had 31 dry days, no comfortable days, and no humid days; April had 30 dry days, no comfortable days, and no humid days; July had 2 dry days, 29 comfortable days, and no humid days; and October had 31 dry days, no comfortable days, and no humid days.
The highest sustained wind speed was 31 mph, occurring on April 8; the highest daily mean wind speed was 19 mph (April 13); and the highest wind gust speed was 48 mph (April 7).
The windiest month was April, with an average wind speed of 6 mph. The least windy month was February, with an average wind speed of 1 mph.
Visibility is the maximum distance at which a given reference object or light can be clearly discerned. In the United States, visibilities that are greater than or equal to 10 miles are typically reported as 10 miles.
The day of 2005 with the lowest average visibility was January 20, with an average visibility of 0.1 mi. The month with the lowest average visibility was February, with an average visibility of 3.1 mi. With an average visibility of 10.0 mi, the month of July had the highest average visibility.
The cloud ceiling is the altitude of the lowest layer of clouds that are at categorized as broken (mostly cloudy) or overcast (cloudy). If no such cloud layer exists then the ceiling is unlimited and no value is reported.
The day of 2005 with the lowest average cloud ceiling was January 20, with an average cloud ceiling of 98'. The month with the lowest average cloud ceiling was February, with an average cloud ceiling of 2262'. The month of July has the highest average cloud ceiling, with an average cloud ceiling of 10626'.

- - BEST Winter Riding Gloves?
BEST Winter Riding Gloves? I need new gloves. The ones I used this winter and last are NOT windproof. I have such chilly fingers. :c Can anyone recommend good, windproof, toasty gloves? |
I went to Tractor Supply Company (Don't know if you have one by there) but I got my gloves there, and they are amazing and weren't more than 10.00$. I don't know the brand but I can get it for you if you want me too. They have some really good winter stuff there because it's stuff for farmers. |
I use these: Article: STYLE 4700 - WINTER RIDING MITTENS My hands get cold no matter what as our barn isnt heated at all....and my hands sweat in the gloves. But these keep my hands nice and warm at least! |
My instructor works part-time at TSC, and I applied to the one in Leesburg VA. I should be able to get something nice there. ;) My only thing is that they HAVE to be really grippy, too. I have to keep my hands CRAZY still and have to concentrate on doing that. So I can't have the reins slippin' everywhere. |
I am going to order a pair of these before winter hits down here. I have never used them but I have been very pleased with everything else I have ever gotten from Carhartt. There was a member here, I can't remember who now, that lived Minnesota and said these were the best gloves she ever wore. Carhartt WA009 Women Insulated Utility Glove - Carhartt for Women |
A company called SSG makes great winter riding gloves. here is a link.http://www.ssgridinggloves.com/ Side note...I know the people who own the company (they own STBD racehorses) and they are super nice folks! |
carhartt!! |
Those Carhartt gloves look like they'd be warm and sturdy to boot. May have to order me some. I used to have a carhartt jumpsuit. I wore it one year using my horse to move some cattle in the middle of an ice storm. (I will NEVER do that again!) I sure wish I still had it... and that I was small enought to still wear it. Carhartt doesn't make outerwear in my size - more incentive to lose weight! |
They all look so toasty! My current gloves are SSG. They are fleece, but not windproof. So when the wind is going.. brrr. :c I apparently don't have the blubber to keep warm(but I look like it atm!)! Can anyone speak to the grippiness of the carhartts? |
Not yet but I will have a pair within the next month or so likely. With it being leather, it should have pretty good grip on the palms and fingers. CH is pretty good about making stuff that is not only warm, but functional too. I wish I could remember the member here who swore by them. |

Spin Unspun
By Joshua Weinberger | Posted 2012-05-03 Email PrintMicrosoft's pay-to-play server software.
"Do more with less."
That tag line to Microsoft's ad campaign for its Windows Server 2003 seemed like an apt pitch in an era of tight budgets. After all, it set the bar for how users could expect to apply the new operating system. But when the April 24th launch date arrived, users found the phrase could apply to the product itself.
Microsoft itself calls the Windows Server 2003 release "evolutionary" rather than "revolutionary" despite three years of work by as many as 5,000 developers. While thousands of applications are already available to run on Windows Server 2003, several of Microsoft's own programs (versions of SQL Server, Exchange 5.5, Exchange 2000, and others) aren't.
In fact, a number of "layered" and "add-on" servicesincluding the Active Directory Application Mode, Real-Time Communications Server and Windows Rights Managementaren't yet available and may result in additional fees. Higher costs won't sway holdouts using Server NT. "If Microsoft decides to make the services for-fee, they won't flypeople just won't pay for them," says Gartner analyst Tom Bittman.
"Do more, spend more" probably wouldn't fly either.

text: Andy WarholArtist / FilmmakerBorn: 6 August 1928 Died: 22 February 1987 (complications from gallbladder surgery) Birthplace: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Best known as: The pop artist who painted a Campbell's Soup can Name at birth: Andrew Warhola Andy Warhol began as a commercial illustrator in New York, doing artwork for ads and magazines in the 1940s and 1950s. Eventually he crossed from commercial work to fine art, blurring the line between the two along the way. In the early 1960s his huge and colorful silk-screen renderings of banal objects like Coke bottles and a Campbell's Soup can were hugely popular and established him as the leader of the so-called Pop Art movement. (His multi-color, multi-image portrait of Marilyn Monroe is another famous image from this era.) By the mid-1960s Warhol had become an icon of the psychedelic generation; he made strange and lengthy experimental movies, held famous gatherings in "The Factory," his Manhattan studio, and surrounded himself with a court of fellow artists and adoring fans. He also worked closely with the experimental rock group The Velvet Underground and (in 1969) founded the influential celebrity magazine Interview. Warhol's attitude was summed up in part in his statement, "In the future everyone will be world-famous for fifteen minutes." Extra credit: Warhol was shot and critically wounded by an acquaintance, Valerie Solanas, in June of 1968. The incident was the basis of the 1996 film I Shot Andy Warhol and Lou Reed's 1990 song "I Believe"… In May of 2007 Warhol's Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I) was sold at auction for $71.7 million, the most ever paid for one of his paintings; six months earlier a Warhol record was set with the sale of Mao for $17.4 million.

United will not reclaim the trophy they regard as theirs until after their May 12 meeting with Swansea at Old Trafford. Yet already they are looking towards a title defence that if past seasons are anything to go by, should be far more convincing than the one Manchester City managed this season.
"I definitely want more," said Carrick. "The season is not over yet, we haven't even got the trophy. But when we come back next year, we will be as hungry as ever."
He added: "I said before I came here that if I won a league that would have meant everything to me.
"Strange as it seemed, as soon as I won that first title it left me hungry for more. The satisfaction of winning is such a good feeling you want it again and again, and you get hungrier to win it again."
It is the attitude Sir Alex Ferguson instilled into his squad through his insatiable quest for perfection.
The concept is nothing new either. In 1983, Ferguson's response to Aberdeen beating Rangers in the Scottish Cup final was to brand his team's performance "disgraceful" and "unacceptable".
By his own admission, Ferguson has mellowed since those days.
But, as Carrick has seen with others in the past, any player who does not share their manager's philosophy is not destined to have a particularly long Old Trafford shelf life.
"The manager drives that attitude and it rubs off on the players," said Carrick. "To be honest it happens quite quickly. If it doesn't you are not going to be successful here. When I arrived, I tried to copy the example of the senior players. As I get older, I try to set an example for the younger boys."

Barrel Racing bit What is a good bit to start and ride a new barrel horse?...She has a very hard mouth, and i am currently riding her in a tom-thumb with a curb chain. I don't know what are regulations though, or what is right to start her in. Any ideas? |
tom thumb is actually a very bad bit to use in barrel racing, since the shanks are straight with no curve and the sides aren't their own like a real barrel bit or reining bit. It's all leverage coming down on the horses poll when your trying to make them turn. If you want something similar to what you have but better, something like this Loose Cheek Black Snaffle Bit - Statelinetack.com or Three Piece Loose Cheek Snaffle Bit - Statelinetack.com both those bits sides are able to move freely and there more curve to the shanks so less leverage. As for the being hard mouthed part, thats a training issue. You have to work on that. doesn't matter how big a bit is if the horse doesn't want to listen to it they won't, not without the right training. And there are no bit regulations in barrel racing. |
I don't really understand the difference. I haven't barrel raced in a while, and last time i did, it was in a bit-less bridle, with a dead-broke gelding. Thank you so much for the information, it really helps. |

Fantastic. I love raw oysters but for cooked ones this is my favourite. I save the really good coleville bay oyster for raw and the more usual oysters for this.
NYE staple at our house. An oyster shucking knife is a good way to avoid the trip to the ER. I would highly recommend one.
An oyster lovers dream! On Christmas eve our stores sold out of fresh basil, so we subsituted pesto sauce. This was a definate repeat performance!
I thought this recipe was really good. I am planning on making it again sometime.
An excellent, if very rich appetizer. I will make it again. As all of you know, however, wear a leather glove on you non knife hand while shucking. Our dinner was interupted by a trip to the clinic for sutures.
I made this dish on my honeymoon and on our first anniversary, and I'm making it again tonight, on our second anniversary. It is my husband's favorite food, bar none.
This is the BEST oyster appetizer I have come across. I have even substituted cashews for the hazelnuts. It's exceptionally easy, everything can be thrown into the food processor, et voila, pesto. Everyone who has tried this loves it, even those who don't like oysters. Makes for great sopping after the oysters are gone too! I highly recommend this dish.

The present government shutdown has continued into the weekend, with House Republican's holding the spending bill over the head of President Obama and Obamacare. With this financial stand-off comes the furlough of a huge chunk of U.S. government employees. But, midday Saturday, a bipartisan bill was passed by the House which promises these 800,000 workers complete back pay.
According to The Washington Times, the bill — presented by Representatives James P. Moran (D-Va.) and Frank Wolf (R-Va.) — cleared without opposition with a 407-0 vote, possibly making it the only thing representatives have been able to agree on lately.
Next, the bill is headed to the Senate for consideration, where it will likely pass, if history is to be believed — workers were paid during the pair of shutdowns in 1995 and 1996.

Railroad shipping: AAR reports September volumes are up from 2009, down from 2008
As was the case in August, September rail volumes were mixed when compared to the last two years, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR). The AAR reported that monthly rail carloads for September—at 1,487,511—were up 7.7. percent from September 2009 and down 7.5 percent from September 2008. The weekly September average of 297,502 carloads hit its highest level since October 2008, said the AAR. September carloads were 1.9 percent higher than September 2009.

Cargo Connections Conference to draw industry leaders to New Orleans Meet the 2017 Modern Show Daily team 2017 Air Cargo Roundtable: Positive Outlook Driven by New Demand European Logistics Update: The Glass is Half Full Environmental executive order poses questions for supply chain and logistics green efforts More NewsAs was the case in August, September rail volumes were mixed when compared to the last two years, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
The AAR reported that monthly rail carloads for September—at 1,487,511—were up 7.7. percent from September 2009 and down 7.5 percent from September 2008. The weekly September average of 297,502 carloads hit its highest level since October 2008, said the AAR. September carloads were 1.9 percent higher than September 2009.
While carload performance in September was steady, intermodal traffic was booming—at 1,165,288 trailers and containers—a 17.3 percent annual gain and up 0.2 percent from September 2008. The AAR said the weekly average of 233,058 trailers and containers paved the way for four of the top five intermodal weeks to date for 2010 although total intermodal volumes were 0.08 percent behind August.
AAR officials pointed out that September is typically the second or third best month of the year for intermodal as retailers are stocking up for the holidays. And domestic intermodal traffic in particular continues to see strong sequential growth due to conversions of over-the-road domestic traffic to rail and growth in international trade. The AAR also said it reflects a years-long trend of domestic freight converting from truck trailers to containers on rail; truck trailers can be double-stacked, which makes them more cost-efficient and effective.
An executive at a large intermodal marketing company told LM at the recently-held Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Annual Conference that shippers are turning to intermodal more as a cost-effective and efficient alternative to trucking. But he cautioned that as volumes increase, railroads and IMC's need to focus on maintaining high service levels for shippers.
In October 2009, the AAR began reporting weekly rail traffic with year-over-year comparisons for the previous two years, due to the fact that the economic downturn was in full effect at this time a year ago, and global trade was bottoming and economic activity was below current levels.
As LM has reported, while railroad activity is clearly picking up compared to a dismal 2009, it is still lagging 2008 and earlier years on an absolute volume basis. And based on various economic indicators it is clear it will be a while more until rail volumes return to the same levels as previous years.
"September was a steady month for rail traffic with new weekly records set in both carloads and intermodal," said AAR Senior Vice President John T. Gray in a statement. "That said, intermodal traffic gains can be attributed to the upcoming holiday season and the number of railcars coming out of storage are not as significant as during the first few months of the year; all of which is evidence of a slow measured economic recovery."
Stifel Nicolaus analyst John Larkin said on a conference call hosted by his firm last month that even with the railroads in recovery mode, current volumes are still roughly 15 percent below the peak, adding that the annual gains occurring in 2010 are against a 2009 which he described as the worst year for railroad traffic since deregulation.
Of the 18 major commodities tracked by the AAR, 14 were up on an annual basis. Metallic ores and metals were up 41.8 percent, and farm products excluding grain were up 29.1 percent.
Railroad employee numbers fell by 121 to 152,925 employees in August (the most recent month for which data is available) from 153,046 in July. And the AAR said 17,638 rail cars were brought back into service in September, with 331,074 cars—or 21.6 percent—of the North American railcar fleet currently remaining in storage.

A Pond Eddy woman faces additional benefits-fraud-related charges, the state Office of the Welfare Inspector General said Thursday.
Andrea Lee, 28, was arrested about two weeks ago on charges she collected more than $13,000 in benefits – mostly for child care assistance – between July 2012 and January 2013, to which she wasn't entitled.
She was just rearrested on new charges that she illegally collected about $12,000 in benefits from Orange County from November 2011 to summer 2012, while living in Pond Eddy with the father of one of her children, who made more than $70,000 a year.
She was arraigned in City of Middletown Court and is due to reappear Friday.

Investors willing to wait for long-term profits from lowly-valued shares will soon be able to buy into the first 'deep value' investment trust to be launched in the UK. But while this strategy has proved popular in the US, advisers warn that highly "undervalued" companies can remain out of favour for a long time – and run the risk of bankruptcy.
This week, Church House Investment Management announced the launch of Trade & General Investments plc, a new investment trust that will take a specialist 'deep value' approach. Deep value investing involves buying into companies whose share prices have fallen to a steep discount to the value of their assets – but which demonstrate the potential to turn their performance around. Church House says its trust will target companies whose current market capitalisations have sunk below "realistic values" – and believes it is "the only investment fund of its kind in the UK." However, manager Jeroen Bos brings more than 20 years' experience of this investing style, having run an offshore deep-value fund that has returned 65.2 per cent in the past 5 years, compared with a 21.7 per cent rise in the FTSE All-Share index over the same period.
"In the current market environment, value investing will work well, as the strategy is less focused on expected earnings, and more geared towards buying assets at a discount," Bos claims. "Using the disciplined approach of only buying shares of companies when they can be purchased at a discount to their balance sheet values, you are protecting yourself from paying too much at the outset, leaving capacity for significant investment growth."
While similar deep value funds are widely available in North America, UK managers have until now preferred a more conventional form of value investing, based on shares that trade on low multiples of net assets but also pay dividends.
Justin Lowes, who runs the Elite LWM East-West Value Fund, an open-ended investment company, says a lack of dividends is the key difference between deep value investing, and the value investing practised by UK equity income fund managers. "Deep value funds are prepared to invest in securities whereby no dividend income is currently on offer, in the belief that there is tremendous potential for appreciation of the market price of the security," he explains.
In some cases, that can mean buying into companies with insufficient profits to even consider dividends, says Adrian Lowcock, senior investment adviser at Bestinvest. "Deep value is where the share price of a company has collapsed, usually as a result of a shock event or a wipe-out of profits to such a point that the stock market is not convinced the company can survive." If it can survive, though, investors stand to profit as its market value moves back towards its intrinsic value. "A stock with no yield is unlikely to be of interest to an equity income investor, whereas it may be of interest to a deep value investors if it is deemed to be trading well below asset or book value," says Mick Gilligan, director of fund research at broker Killik & Co.
If the share price is far enough below the net asset value per share, any further downside can be limited, according to Anne Gudefin, portfolio manager at Pimco – which operates a proprietary deep value strategy called Pathfinder. "We want to buy an asset with a 30-40 per cent discount," she says. "Because there is such a margin of safety, this limits the downside. Pathfinder is a strategy that focuses on capital protection. We are looking for companies with high quality assets. Occasionally, these companies trade cheaply, most of the time because their earning power has been temporarily impacted." She cites BP, after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill last year, as an example.
But advisers warn that a deep-value strategy inevitably brings added risks.
"Companies in deep value are there for a reason: most investors do not think they will survive, and the risk is they won't," says Lowcock. "Just because a company looks deep value doesn't mean it is, it could simply be bankrupt." Even when lowly valued companies survive, they may not recover, adds Tom Becket, manager of the PSigma Balanced Managed Fund of Funds. "The real danger to the deep value approach is that deep value remains deep value for a long time. Investing in such a manner needs an incredible amount of patience and deep value managers can lose a lot of fingers 'knife-catching' stocks that keep falling."
Tim Cockerill, head of collectives research at advice firm Ashcourt Rowan, says this puts all the onus on stockpicking ability. "The risk is in the analysis of the companies the manager buys," he explains. "They need to get this right – otherwise you end up holding a fund invested in unloved, out of favour, poor quality stocks that no one wants."
Pimco acknowledges these "value traps", but believes fund managers can identify catalysts for recovery. Gudefin suggests new management, a restructuring programme, sales of non-core or non-performing assets, and strong free cash flow generation are all positive signs.
Whether private investors can wait for recovery is another risk, though. "Just because you buy something that is incredibly good value does not meant that it can't fall a lot further in the short term," admits Lowes. "Also, because deep value will often lead the investor into contrarian positions, you will regularly find yourself buying when most investors are fleeing on the back of short-term factors and concerns – when fear is in the ascendant. So the biggest risk is that investors in the strategy bail out due to emotional concerns. They choose the strategy for all of the right reasons but then do not have the emotional discipline to stay the course."
As a result, advisers believe it is better to seek exposure to deep-value strategies via investment trusts, as their closed-ended structure means they are not forced to sell holdings if some investors decide to cash in their stakes. "Fund managers need to be able to concentrate on working closely with a small number of companies and given the time to turn things around," argues Lowcock. "They cannot afford to be distracted by inflows and outflows." Becket agrees that investment trusts seem the logical way of managing deep value strategies: "The fund managers would not be at the mercy of redemptions, which could force them to sell positions into a friendless market."
At present, there are no other specialist deep-value investment trusts listed in the UK, but advisers note that some existing trusts adopt aspects of the strategy. Killik & Co favours the North Atlantic Smaller Companies Investment Trust, which typically invests in "sound businesses suffering from a temporary decline in profitability or mismanagement". In addition, it suggests the Temple Bar Investment Trust, the British Empire Investment Trust and the Rights & Issues Investment Trust, which is also recommended by Bestinvest. Becket, however, prefers the contrarian, deep value approach of an open-ended fund: Investec Special Situations. "The bottom line is that, over the longer term, deep value is likely to do very well, whether via a closed or an open structure," he argues.

By Carrie Coolidge.
A study by Harvard University entitled The Age of Reason found that about half of the population in their eighties suffers from significant cognitive impairment, effectively rendering them incapable of making important financial decisions. Approximately one-fifth of people between 70 and 80 are likely to suffer from either cognitive impairment or dementia severe enough that it is medically diagnosable. The study further found that the ability to make effective financial decisions peaks during middle age, then declines substantially over time. As a result, older investors can become vulnerable to fraud or just seriously mismanage their wealth. So it is wise that high net worth investors implement a wealth management strategy while they still have agile minds.
There are three phenomena related to cognitive function and how it is impacted by aging, according to Gautam Mukunda of Harvard Business School. The first is the difference between crystallized and fluid intelligence. "Crystallized intelligence is what we use for routine tasks, and it actually increases into people's sixties," he explains. Fluid intelligence, on the other hand, is the ability to handle novel tasks. "Unfortunately, on average this starts to decrease when people are in their twenties," Mukunda adds. "Because most tasks are routine, declines in fluid intelligence can often go undetected for prolonged periods."
The second issue, and in some ways the most important, is a decline in metacognitive abilities— essentially a person's ability to assess their own capabilities. "So as people age, their own assessments of their ability to keep performing at a high level can become less reliable," says Mukunda, an associate professor in the Organizational Behavior Unit.
Written with Barron's wit and often contrarian perspective, Penta provides the affluent with advice on how to navigate the world of wealth management, how to make savvy acquisitions ranging from vintage watches to second homes, and how to smartly manage family dynamics.
Richard C. Morais, Penta's editor, was Forbes magazine's longest serving foreign correspondent, has won multiple Business Journalist Of The Year Awards, and is the author of two novels: The Hundred-Foot Journey and Buddhaland, Brooklyn.

Watching the young Indian team struggle, on their current tour to England, Bejoy Balagopal is reminded once again of how Test match cricket mirrors life so closely.
As the connoisseurs of the game never tire of saying, Test cricket is exactly that — a real test of the players. It tests technique, temperament, patience, guts, grit, strategy, and concentration, over an extended period; like no other game does.
In other words, Test cricket is akin to life more than perhaps any other sport is. Let us see how.
Move fully forward or back: Many a time, a batsman gets caught 'in-between', neither fully committed to the front foot nor the back foot. This mirrors the many moments in life, professional and personal, when indecisiveness have left us struggling. Think of the half-baked reports you made at work or the silence you chose when a wrong unravelled in front of your eyes! To say a "yes!" and push ahead or have the conviction to say a "no!" and step back, simple as it may sound, is a challenge that we face every day. So many are those moments when you got to push forward in life, yet be ready to move back and absorb the pressure.
Knowing where the off-stump is: The batsman has a split second to decide whether to play at a delivery or not. And this decision is based on several considerations that need to be factored in: judgement of your own ability, the vulnerability of the situation and what's at stake. It often calls for you to discipline your natural instincts and say "I'll let this one pass 'cause I know that my time would come soon".
This is astoundingly similar to what life throws at us as well, to test not just our ability but the willingness to let go of ego and, importantly, stubbornness. Think back to the times when we let ego get the better of us while driving in maddening traffic, or the casual comment that potentially spoilt a relationship for life; many are the moments when sound judgement is needed but goes missing.
Respecting and overcoming the conditions: You lose the toss and you could end up getting the worse of the conditions to start with. Even otherwise, things could change over the five days — the weather, the nature of the pitch, your health and fitness. Test cricket, like life, demands that you grin and bear the tough times out. To have the faith that better things are around the corner and the strength of character to weather the tough times would determine how well we cope with situations in life.
Shorter, focused sessions: There are battles within the war and you aim to win sessions. Cricket (or generally, sport), at the highest level, is played in the mind and the mind can handle only so much at any time to be truly effective. To clear the cobwebs and be "in the moment" is something we could all do in our day-to-day life. Shorter goals, without the pressure of the larger picture, are much easier to target and achieve. The intensity can be maintained for shorter periods before a new target is set.
Draw: Five days of competitiveness and we might still not have a winner — how boring, but how wonderful a concept it is! It is about understanding that not everything in life is about black and white; it is not all about winning and losing either. Success is not measured by how many arguments you won or how the balance sheets finally look. Some things end in a stalemate and that should be perfectly acceptable. Through the process, there are lessons learnt and notes made to come out better the next time.
Dignity and graciousness: This is perhaps the very ethos of all sporting activities but somehow Test cricket places an importance on it like no other game does (though sadly this is a dwindling aspect of the game of late). To applaud an effort of a player from the opposition, to "appeal" to the umpire, to take the word of a fielder from an opposing team, to walk when you know you are out, to politely raise the bat (or ball) in acknowledgement of the cheers and to shake hands at the end of a game in which no quarter was given — imagine how mankind would be if each of us had this grace, both in victory and defeat.
When someone asks me what this great game has offered me, beyond the many thrills and the moments of brilliance and despair, I would point to these wonderful lessons. Whether I have imbibed them is another question, but then there's the rest of the life for that, to learn and adapt. Much like Test cricket!

Although Moffat County residents would have to travel to reach the gambling establishments proposed for change through Amendment 33, it's evident they don't want to alter the future of gambling.
Of the county's 2,780 voters, an overwhelming 2,265 voted against the measure compared to the 633 who vote for the issue of whether to install casino-style gambling at five racetracks along the Front Range.
With 99 percent of Colorado votes counted, Amendment 33 failed 81 percent to 19 percent.
There were 723,265 votes against and 171,988 votes in favor statewide.
While waiting in line to vote Tuesday, Stan Sjostrom said he was against the measure because he didn't agree with language's wording, yet he said money from gambling dollars should stay in Colorado.
"To me (gambling) is no big deal, but the majority of the funds need to stay in the state," he said.
According to reports from the Associated Press, campaign spokesman Lynea Hansen said the proposal's defeat can be partly blamed on bribery indictments of two executives from Wembley, USA, Inc., which owns four out of the five Colorado tracks.
Supporters said Amendment 33 was a way to jumpstart the economy providing up to $25 million per year to advertise tourism opportunities and boost tax revenues.

Apologies for not being around...
Firstly, I'm really sorry I've not been around lately. I've had so much going on, you wouldn't believe it! It was my little boy's birthday last Friday and his party on Sunday, so I was constantly looking around for presents, wrapping paper, party bag presents, party food, etc. I was also involved in my daughters' school's summer fete which took place on Saturday. Add to this my husband being away for 4 days last week and having to buy a new computer because my old one had died (it was 7.5 years old, so fair enough I guess), and you can see why I didn't have time to update the blog.
But I really wanted to show you all the wonderful things I have bought lately, so here's a sneak peak and will try my best to add all the details today / tomorrow / later this week. Until then, enjoy these pictures...

Thank you! :) I love the quality of Dior eyeshadows, that's the reason why I collect them in the first place (second being that they're extremely pretty, lol). They are very soft and easy to blend, very long lasting, they never crease on me and I wear my eyeshadows for over 12 hours every day. Some people find some of the iridescent shades too frosty, but I love myself some shimmer, so don't mind. I have a lot of eyeshadows from a lot of brands and I have to say that Dior are in my top 3 (with Guerlain and Mac, oh and Urban Decay, so top 4 then). They are expensive, but really worth it in my opinion. :)

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
WILMINGTON — With the March 5 trade deadline approaching and the Bruins on the search for help on the blue line, the team faced more bad news on the Adam McQuaid front on Friday. The defenseman, who has spent three long stints out of the lineup totaling 28 games this season, suffered a setback this week, according to coach Claude Julien.
"It becomes day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month," Julien said. "I'm not sure anymore."
Before the Olympic break, general manager Peter Chiarelli had expressed confidence McQuaid would return soon after the team resumed play. With that no longer the scenario, there is "probably a little" more of an effort to acquire help on defense, a hockey source said Friday.

Note: This post takes a look at a bar program we've been curious about. Since it was an arranged photo shoot, it doesn't include critical evaluation or recommendations.
I was pretty embarrassed when I realized that CU29 is copper's atomic number and not a cheesy way to text "see you tonight." Once I was inside the downtown Austin bar, though, it all made sense. Copper sheets line the liquor shelves and large copper mixing bowls—which bartenders use to whip egg whites for drinks—hang from the walls. Lead bartender Breck Cowan explained that copper is often used in the stills that make spirits, too, so that inspired the theme of the bar, which opened a few months back.
The oddity that caught my eye was a large jar resembling an embalmed brain that turned out to be bubblegum infused vodka. Cowan says that each bartender is expected to create a new infusion every month. "We're constantly pushing ourselves to learn more and experiment with different flavors," he explained.
CU29's brisket bourbon is made with two pounds of the famed Franklin Barbecue meat. "The real key is have a lean cut and start infusion while the brisket is hot," Cowan explained, "so the pores are open and can permeate more bourbon throughout the meat." After it's been infused for a week or two, with the crew tasting every day to gauge flavor development, the meat is removed and they finish the fat-washing process by chilling the mixture and straining out the separated solids and fat. He recommends that folks to try it on its own first, but says it's killer in a Bloody Mary.
CU29's meat infusions aren't limited to brisket: they also make a peppered turkey gin using the same method. It was Cowan's boss, Lutfy Flores, who came up with the idea. "I was skeptical about how it'd come out. It's for someone with an adventurous palate. Can't taste the gin anymore but you'll get the peppers and turkey," said Cowan.
Not every infusion at CU29 made with animal products: there's also ghost chili vodka, saffron aged rum, coconut-infused Tuaca, and cinnamon-vanilla tequila. These concoctions can be sampled straight, but many find their way onto the cocktail list or off-the cuff creations mixed up based on a guest's requests. "Austin has very educated drinkers and that's another thing that pushes us. We want people to feel like this is their second living room and have conversations and good libations," said Cowan.

Trap that doesn't suck. Seriously, heRobust knows how to do this Trap **** right. Not so plain that it's horrendously boring.
I linked this one before, too...but it's rare I find a Trap tune I like so it's gonna get linked again.
That 'one million dollars' sample gets me every time.
Oh, and I never thought about it like this...but one of the sleeper albums of the year is a Trap album. Dirty Hipster Trap.
To an extent anyway, but that's what went through my head when I listened to it again yesterday. Great Electronic album either way. One of the best of the year.

Pink Lentils with Roasted Mushrooms: Countdown to Valentine's Day
(Makes eight servings)
Holy Cow! Vegan Recipes
Recipe type:
1 cup pink lentils (masoor dal)
1 pound crimini mushrooms, quartered and then cut lengthwise once more so you have longish slivers
1 large onion, thinly sliced (optional. If you'd rather not eat onions on the big day, no worries. This dish is still delicious without them. Just skip the step that involves caramelizing the onions)
1 tsp sugar
1 + 1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 + 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tbsp garam masala powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
3 tsp canola or other vegetable oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup minced coriander leaves
Heat 1 tsp oil in a heavy-bottom pan and add 2 tsp of garlic and 1 tsp red pepper flakes. Saute for a few seconds, then add the lentils. Stir well, then add 3 cups of water.
Bring to a boil, then place a lid on it and cook until the lentils are really tender, about 30 minutes. (If you have a pressure cooker, you can prepare the lentils in it and cut down on the time required).
Stir in salt and pepper and reserve.
In another pan, heat 1 tsp oil and add the onions and sugar. Cook on a medium flame, stirring, until the onions are caramelized and golden-brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions and reserve.
In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and add the remaining 2 tsp of garlic and the remaining red pepper flakes.
Add the mushrooms. Stir-fry the mushrooms until they soften. Add salt and black pepper and garam masala and continue cooking until the mushrooms are cooked but still have a great bite to them.
Set aside a few mushrooms for garnish and mix the dal wth the remaining mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a boil. Check seasoning, mix in fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice.
Top with the mushrooms and caramelized onions. Serve hot with the biryani.

BP Comment Quick Links
January 30, 2012 Future ShockLos Angeles Dodgers Top 11 Prospects
Previous Rankings: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 System In 20 Words Or Less: There is depth here, but there's also a disturbing lack of future impact talents.
Four-Star Prospects
1. Zach Lee, RHP
Year in Review: The big-bonus 2010 first-rounder pitched well in his debut but rarely dominated.
2. Nathan Eovaldi, RHP
Year in Review: He took advantage of weaknesses at the upper levels by pitching well at Double-A and ending the year in the big leagues.
3. Allen Webster, RHP
Year in Review: The young right-hander dominated in the California League but learned some tough lessons in his first exposure at the upper levels.
4. Chris Reed, LHP
Year in Review: The top college reliever in the country went a bit higher than expected at number 16 overall, but scouts see him as a starter.
5. Garrett Gould, RHP
Year in Review: The 2009 second-round pick made major strides while earning Midwest League All-Star honors.
6. Chris Withrow, RHP
Year in Review: This enigma of a pitcher made some strides in 2011, but he also took some steps backwards.
7. Alfredo Silverio, OF
Year in Review: The Dominican outfielder had a breakout season, including a home run in the Futures Game.
8. Joc Pederson, OF
Year in Review: The over-slot eleventh round pick struggled in the Midwest League but was among the Pioneer League's top performers in the second half.
9. Alex Castellanos, OF/2B
Year in Review: Castellanos was in the midst of a breakout season at Double-A and continued to mash after being traded by the Cardinals to the Dodgers for Rafael Furcal.
10. Angel Sanchez, RHP
Year in Review: The rare prospect that was signed out of a Dominican college, Sanchez went from off-the-radar to a very real prospect in his pro debut.
11. Shawn Tolleson, RHP
Year in Review: The unheralded relief prospect began the year in the Midwest League, finished it at Double-A, and dominated at every level. The Sleeper: 2009 second-round pick Blake Smith has plenty of tools and could move up if he can repeat his California League showing at the upper levels.
Top 10 Talents 25 And Under (born 4/1/86 or later) Kershaw is the most valuable young pitcher in the game considering his age and existing production. He turns 24 in March, already has one Cy Young award, and has the potential to be a generational talent. Gordon is a strange player to evaluate, as scouts still have wide-ranging reviews on him, although those that love him think he's just scratching the surface of his potential. Jansen deserves the closer job with the Dodgers and could earn it this spring. De La Rosa would rank higher, but he'll miss most (if not all) of the season recovering from Tommy John surgery, which makes it a bit more likely that his future will be as a bullpen arm. Sands's limited defense and disturbing home/road splits at Triple-A leave most skeptical, including the Dodgers, who made no opening for him. Summary: The Dodgers have plenty of young pitching, but their minor league system is a mismatch in terms of major-league needs considering that the team has little offense after Matt Kemp.

Antiarrhythmic medicines may be used to return an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) to its normal rhythm, prevent an arrhythmia, or control the heartbeat during an arrhythmia. These drugs work mostly by slowing the heart rate or by helping the heart muscle tissue become stable.
Many antiarrhythmic medicines have side effects, and many interact with other medicines. A person taking any of these medicines should talk often with his or her doctor.

Boliche Cubano – Cuban-Style Stuffed Beef Roast
Chorizo-Stuffed Beef Roast
On the Cuban family table, a special meal would not be complete without Boliche, or Cuban-Style Stuffed Beef Roast. The beef (most commonly eye of round roast), is marinated in the tangy Cuban marinade, GOYA® Mojo Criollo, then stuffed with chorizo, and cooked in a flavorful wine broth until the beef is meltingly tender. Potatoes, carrots and olives are often added to the broth for an extra hearty touch. Try this recipe tonight and experience why Boliche has remained a Cuban family tradition.Serves 8

Ross W.wrote a review of Nixon 42-20 Chrono Watch on December 24, 2010
Let me start by saying I love the look of this watch and I get a lot of compliments on it, however the quality of the movement is very questionable. I have had this watch for two and a half years and I have sent it back to Nixon 4 times, 3 times because the movement stopped and once to replace the band (rubber wore out). My watch is now currently out of warranty (two years) and the second hand stops and needs to be reset twice every 24 hours. It still keeps time (gains about 10 seconds every 5 days, which is normal for a mechanical watch) but the second hand craps out which is annoying. If you are looking for a nice looking piece and don't care about quality go for it but if you need a watch that functions correctly all the time, save your money.

The design of electronic teaching spaces can have a substantial impact on their use. The equipment has to be transparent -- predictable, simple to understand and easy to use. Anybody who uses these instructional spaces should be able to expect support and training.
In addition, the technologically rich spaces SCSU currently has are not well suited to teaching and learning. Better environments have a low level of ambient noise and sophisticated lighting controls. Because the equipment itself adds to the noise level and because they may be doing more cooperative and collaborative projects, students in a technological instructional space need to be able to hear and see everyone in the class. Also, once they are more accustomed to using computers, students are more likely to begin bringing computers to class, which means the small tablet desks will be inadequate for all the materials needed for class.
When technological instructional spaces are designed, attention needs to be paid to ergonomics. The electrical, networking, atmospheric and furniture needs of technologically rich instructional spaces are different from the requirements of traditional classrooms, which means that budgets for instructional spaces must include money for the ambient environment. Budgets must also include money for technical support personnel, who may need to be in the room during classes, who may need to provide ongoing maintenance and who may need to assist instructors as well as the University itself in the design and maintenance of these rooms.
At present, audio-visual equipment (VCRs and monitors) must be transported across campus, an inefficient and costly method of supporting the instructional process. With the telecommunications infrastructure currently deployed throughout the campus, we are well prepared to implement a new approach in the delivery of instructional support materials to the classroom. An campus-wide Electronic Media Delivery system is designed around a high-speed digital server upon which instructional support materials would reside. This server should be capable of storing video, graphics, audio files and any other materials that could be coded to the digital domain and then accessed from classrooms over the campus data network. This Electronic Media Delivery system would support simultaneous, multiple users accessing the same materials at random locations within the program.
We recommend that over a five-year period all commonly used classrooms be equipped with a basic level of instructional technology, including the following:
In addition to the technology available in the "basic" or traditional classroom, smart classrooms need to have technology that allows the teacher or leader to broadcast or project materials. Such additional technology might include the following:
In addition to the technology available in smart classrooms, computer classrooms need to have technology that allows students to work at their own computers. Such additional technology might include the following:
For rooms able to be used for distance learning, some or all of the following to the basic and smart classroom level of technology would be needed:
For SCSU to successfully implement virtual classrooms, the following list of tools is needed:

Welcome to the Wilderness!
Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park is one of the largest wilderness areas in the Midwest and the largest state park in Michigan. A visit to the Porkies is one the whole family will enjoy together! A trip to this peaceful place will create memories that will last a lifetime. This vast wilderness is bordered on one side by miles of Lake Superior shoreline and contains acres of giant hemlock, streams, lakes, waterfalls, and scenic vistas. If you enjoy outdoor activities, how about hiking, swimming, mountain biking, camping, boating, and fishing? Take a walk in the woods by a cool mountain stream. Stop and listen to the sounds of the forest and breathe the clean Lake Superior air. These pleasures await you in the vast expanse of wilderness we call the Porkies. Stop by the Visitors Center for suggestions which will enhance your stay and make your visit enjoyable.
Our park staff has its hands full with stewardship of this natural gem on Lake Superior. This is one of the many reasons the Friends of the Porkies was founded. Our organization does its best to promote the Porkies and provide activities for you the visitor. We have sponsored and staffed a point-to-point cross-country ski marathon; Snowburst, our local winter festival; donated money and labor to various park directed projects; highway cleanup along M107; and coordinate a Summer Solstice event each year. Currently, we sponsor the Porcupine Mountains Music Festival in August and have established a folk school, which will provide a unique learning experience for visitors to the Porkies.

text: We are proud of all of our work. The GUNBOAT series at 48, 55, 60, 62 and 66 and the custom GUNBOAT 78 and 90 have become the standard by which all performance world cruising catamarans are judged. A GUNBOAT 66 easily beat the world's largest keelboat in the Rolex TransAtlantic Race. Owners regularly gather to compete in Caribbean Regattas. Magazines have rewarded these models. Our earlier series have logged over two million sea miles and have proven to be among the world's best options for world cruising. When these series were designed between 2000-2007, there was no database for this market segment. Gunboat established this segment, and has excelled. Our early work has confirmed that our materials and safety margins are appropriate for world cruising. Occasionally one of these ocean crossing greyhounds becomes available for resale. Please enjoy reviewing our work and let us know if a pre-owned GUNBOAT interests you.

Hundreds line up to attend visitation for former finance minister Jim Flaherty
WHITBY, Ont. — Hundreds of dignitaries and citizens lined up Tuesday to pay respects to Jim Flaherty, the former finance minister whose unexpected death last week shocked many across the country.
As Irish ditties played softly over speakers, mourners filed into a low-lit room, where Flaherty's casket lay between two Mounties in ceremonial dress, his widow and triplet sons on one side.
John Ascott was among those arriving early to sign a book of condolences downstairs.
"He made a great sacrifice for this country and I was deeply saddened by his passing and shocked," Ascott said.
"It was the least I could do to come out here and pay my condolences to his family and honour his service to Canada."
First to greet Christine Elliott as she stood near the Maple Leaf-covered casket of her late husband was Ontario Lt.-Gov. David Onley.
Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney was also among early VIP visitors as strains of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" seeped across the room.
Flaherty, 64, died last Thursday of a suspected heart attack, less than a month after resigning from his long-running finance post in cabinet.
The visitation — which precedes a state funeral at St. James Cathedral in downtown Toronto on Wednesday — was being held in Flaherty's Whitby riding at the Abilities Centre that also caters to the disabled.
The former federal and provincial finance minister and Elliott, a Tory member of the Ontario legislature, were strong supporters of the centre.
In Flaherty's honour, the country's five largest banks pledged a combined $1 million to the Abilities Centre.
"In addition to his tremendous contributions to Canada's economic well-being, Flaherty was a tireless champion of people living with disabilities," they said in a statement.
"He showed his support through several decisions as finance minister, gave his time to associated causes, and encouraged a more inclusive society through his actions and his words."
As they passed silently by, some laid a hand on the casket and shed a tear. Others embraced Elliott, who managed a smile for the well-wishers.
Dismay over the death of the diminutive politician, known for his fierce partisanship as well as his impish humour, cut across partisan lines amid debate about his legacy as finance minister.
But for those in his riding, Flaherty was responsive to their concerns, said William Fisher, one of the many visitors from the area.
"I'm sorry to see him go because he did a really good job," Fisher said. "If you had a problem, he'd answer your letter."
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford was among those attending the visitation.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, New Democrat Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau were expected to attend Wednesday's state funeral.
Several members of the Conservative cabinet were also expected to be on hand.
Flags have been flying at half-mast on Parliament Hill since Flaherty's death and Canadians have been signing an online book of condolences.
