It's been raining here for 3 days. It looks like it's still dawn here. The weather is so cold... it makes me wanna sleep always. Hmm..It's nice to cuddle the pillow throughout the day. Actually, I am writing this post with a sleepy eyes with a frequent yawning. *Laughs*. Yeah, I am so sleepy right now. *Yawning* How about there at your place? Is it snowing? raining? or hot? Well, no matter what th
The best place to pitch a tent and light a fire is Myakka River State Park location in Southwest Florida. A lot of people left on the state park, said Jim Cornell. Jim Cornell was packing up his gear. He and a buddy planned to stay an extra night but the temperature of 45 degree [...]
Sorry for the sparse posts this weeks. When the weather starts to get cold, I start to lose motivation to do things like: working, blogging, getting out of bed in the morning. But there is one good thing for when the weather turns cooler - shabu shabu!I was over at a friend's house for dinner on Monday and we had an awesome shabu shabu meal. Not familiar with shabu shabu?

Over the last week suddenly everything has changed. It seems that everyone has suddenly given up believing in the summer and warm weather and resigned themselves to winter and misery. One person after the other has succumbed to a measly common cold and finally even me.
As I sit here with my medical supplies around me I try and find the beauty in autumn. Pretty landscape with beautifully coloured t

Starting a modern diesel engine, in cold weather, is now much the same as starting your automobile. Even more so with the larger diesels like the Cummins ISM and ISX, which do not use any electronic heating aids that require a start wait time. This, however, has not always been the case in both earlier [...]

We ever discourse is it feat to deceive a aggregation or is it meet feat to be algid and module our all- flavour tires be beatific enough. Well here is whatever programme for you, flavour [...]
A couple of days ago, the weather here in MI was just so nice, warm and almost a perfect one, but yesterday, oh gosh, it's very chilly again, the wind is cold and it rains for almost a day. Probably, it's from the Tornado pressure from Virginia. From having warm weather to cold weather, it doesn't excuse us from having sore throat again, my son had a runny nose too which is so annoying. Now, I have some sore throat and I couldn't sleep well last night too because I couldn't swallow and when I woke up this morning, its got worst. Now, I am chewing some medicine and I hope it will get better soon.Anyway, for the meantime, I am just here waiting for some opps to come along on my dashboard and hopefully, I could get big ones. And while checking my email this morning, I found some new blog
An extremely tense Matthew McConaughey anxiously paced the set of his latest film on Wednesday night. The normally carefree actor has expressed disappointment to his inner circle that the weather in Boston does not allow him to be shirtless as often as he would like. It reportedly has been a few weeks since he was [...]
The Mercedes-Benz B-Class with fuel cell may be a zero-emission, environmentally friendly vehicle, but winter testing proved its powerhouse capabilities. The vehicle was thoroughly put through its paces in extreme testing recently. Testers took the B-Class to the punishing winter environment of Northern Sweden, where temperatures are in the double-digits below zero. AutoSpectator has the [...]
For me, if it dips below 55 degrees, forget it. I am the original fair weather golfer. Back in the olden days, when I actually played everyday no matter what, I found ways to play better and enjoy my round. Even when I couldn’t feel my toes. I’ll share some of these tips for those [...]
It was very cold in Miami during the past couple of days. Cold trumps everything for us tropical creatures, zOMG! I mean even the iguana that lives in the tree behind my apartment died! It was floating in the Biscayne Waterway, so sad! Plus, there was free frozen gator meat festival in the Everglades all weekend. Oy! Let's not even talk about citrus fruit and such. This was one hell of a cold front. It even snowed in Daytona, typically the land of hot rods and loud carburetors. Do you think Julia Tuttle could've pulled the wool over Henry Flagler's eyes with this one? Julia Tuttle, the founding "mama" of Miami, sent Flagler orange blossoms as proof we do not have freezes down here, just to encourage him to extend the railroad down to our hot, sticky swamp. Julia, was that a well-
A meticulous attendance of the complexion begins with impurities removal. Scrubbing is an old method of cleaning the skin, inherited from the old Egyptians. This method consists of removing the impurities and the dead cells of your skin.
This can be done by scrubbing the skin with corn-flour or by using cosmetic creams with particles specially destined to this purpose. There is another way of scrubbing, which uses sugar for sensitive skins. After cleaning the complexion, the next step is cleaning the face with a lot of warm water.
The next stage in our taking care of the skin is moisturizing it. Those of you who are followers of natural products can opt for a mask made from a spoon of honey and one of yogurt. You have to keep this mask for ten minutes, and then you wash it with warm water.
The area around the eyes is very sensitive - that is why it is necessary to take a special care of it. The cold weather can accent the wrinkles. Hazel nut and almond oils and castor oil are very eff

The mornings, well, they are downright frigid. So what's a runner to do to avoid having to resort to the forsaken "dreadmill" to get in those miles. Here are a few tips for keeping warm when the temperatures drop:Layer up - You've heard it before and I'm telling you again...the best defense against the cold is to dress in layers. Layering clothing traps air between the layers that insulates you against the cold. Think that fluffy down coat is warm because the down is a good insulator. Wrong! It's the air trapped between the feathers that does the heavy lifting to keep you toasty. A second benefit of layering is that as you begin to generate heat from running, you can remove layers that are no longer necessary. The only thing worse than being cold on a r

If you loved the look of leggings, you'll also love black tights...a much more sophisticated take, but the same idea.If you want to continue wearing skirts and dresses this winter, take these tips to keep warm and fashionable:1) Tights: Get a few pairs to compliment the dresses and skirts you plan to wear. Black and navy are good staples, but if you want to be creative, go for textured pairs as well.2) Boots: Knee-length boots will also help keep you warm in colder climates when paired with tights...the taller, the better!3) Bundle up: Make sure you are wearing a heavy jacket and scarf...if you need to wear gloves and a hat, you may want to skip a skirt on that day though.Get creative with your fall wardrobe and make it work for winter with lots of layering and
welcome autumn to the swamplands. It seems as if when there’s a chill in the air and the wind blows the leaves around in big swirling tornado-spins in the middle of the street - -I yearn for a cup of coffee around 6:00 p.m. Now, this is a bad habit. Everyone will admit it, unless I drink tasteless-non-coffee decaf. Val bought a teakettle, a little electric one (very British, eh?) and a couple boxes of herbal tea. Not expensive stuff, she says we are not going to be “tea drinkers” in the new urban-pop sense. We are the common tea drinkers, I’m afraid. Celestial Seasons or Constant Comment (I think that’s the name, Val says she drank it when she was a kid) or store-brand in-a-bag tea people. Nice fruit or herbal teas we can steep in five minutes and enjoy. The taste of coffee is something we adore in this house, but the sleeplessness and anxiety at 1:00 a.m. is not going to happen.
Right in the midst of evening tea prep, I had a great idea. Everyone! Get som

You gotta wonder who is cooking the books... officialdom, economists, or the financial press. Take a good look at these three articles. There were many discrepancies yesterday and today, but they all had one item in common, they contradicted each other...New-Home Sales in US Increased 2.6% to 858,000 Pace in March by Bloomberg - 4/25/07 snip:"Purchases of new homes in the US rose for the first time in three months in March as unusually warm weather and sales incentives brought out more buyers"New-home sales edge higher in March by MarketWatch - 4/24/07 snip:"Boosted by warmer weather in the Northeast and Midwest, sales of new homes increased by 2.6% in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 858,000, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday."Sales of existing homes plunge 8.4% in March by MarketWatch - 4/24/07 snip:"Economists said the report confirmed that the housing market is still weakening, though the sharp drop in March was likely overstated because of weather. "Sooo, are
The excuse du jour that I've been hearing is that cold weather in February is to blame for under performance at certain retailers. Just for fun, here's a temp map I threw together off the NOAA site comparing last month to average temps over the past century. Yep, it was February and its was cold as it usually is.What I'd like to do is strip out the Midwest and Northeast retail data where it was mostly below normal temp-wise and just look at figures from the rest of the country where temps were average to see if the cold really adversely impacted total retail sales. In other words, were sales (read consumer spending) stronger than usual where weather was average or better than average? I am not reading anywhere that the deep South and the West kept retail sales from looking even worse. Somehow I think this "cold weather" thing doesn't tell the whole story.
If you own a chihuahua better you should know about this, you must be very sensitive to the fact that short-haired Chihuahuas, and even long-haired ones, are vulnerable to the cold. In temperatures of 35-40 degrees Farenheit.We recommend dressing your Chihuahua in a special dog sweater for brief walks.If you and your Chihuahua Walking in temperatures below 35 degrees Farenheit is STRONGLY
discouraged, especially when there is a wind-chill factor. In this,
as in other aspects of dog maintenance, keep your dogs’ health top
priority, not your own desires. In fact, in some cold regions, an
indoor heater will be necessary.
