- New Jersey's $76.8B pension fund cut its holdings of emerging market ETFs to less than $1.8B as of March 31, according to filings compiled by Bloomberg. As recently as 2009, EM holdings were about zero, but rose to over $3B by the end of 2012.
- New Jersey's souring on a poor trade could be happening just as emerging markets are showing signs of rebounding following their worst relative performance last year in more than a decade. The MSCI emerging markets index (ETF: EEM) is up 10% since February 5, as is Vanguard's FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) - one of the funds cut back on by NJ.
- New Jersey has company: In the last five quarters through March, investors have pulled $12B from Vanguard's $44B VWO and $12.8B from BlackRock's $36B EEM. The funds, however, have seen inflows of $4.6B since the end of March.

Mon, Apr. 7, 3:27 PM
- If this is a Fed-tightening-induced selloff, it's got to be the first one in which emerging markets are rallying. The broad iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM +0.5%) has now caught up to the S&P 500 YTD. Leading the charge is continued huge move in Brazil, where the Bovespa is up another 2% today, helping the iShares S&P Latin America 40 ETF (ILF +2.1%) sharply higher.
- The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ +3%) - ahead nearly 25% since the start of February - is now up 6.3% YTD. Behind the rally is the idea that the year-long string of rate hikes has maybe one more boost left in it.

- Investors "are selling emerging markets which have very low valuations, significant dividend yields but have underperformed in recent times ... [for developed markets] which have relatively high valuations, potentially limited long-term earnings growth and where markets have just gone up rather fast," says Sam Vecht, a portfolio manager at BlackRock Emerging Europe Trust.
- Mostly bearish on emerging markets in general and Turkey in particular over the past years, Vecht and team have turned bullish in the past few months, citing low valuations and high interest rates (high rates can go lower; zero rates can't).

Tue, Feb. 11, 12:31 PM
- Suffice it to say these sorts of things don't happen at tops. Brevan Howard Asset Management is reportedly shuttering its emerging market fund after it lost 15% last year, and fund manager Geraldine Sundstrom is exiting the firm.
- Brevan Howard is Europe's largest hedge fund firm, with more than $40B in AUM. Its flagship Master Fund - opened in 2003 - has never had a losing year, but had a lame 2013, up just 2.6%. The emerging markets fund opened in 2007 and has $2B in AUM.

Mon, Feb. 3, 8:43 AM
- In order to draw the necessary capital to pull emerging markets out of their swoon, real interest rates have to go higher, says Citigroup. A near-doubling of the benchmark rate in Turkey last week only pulled one-year borrowing costs up to 3.6%, less than half the average in the thee years prior to 2008. The real yield in Mexico (EWW) is about zero. In South Africa, it's 1.4% vs. 2% over the past decade.
- "When you have low real rates and try to finance your current-account deficits, it usually won't work," says Citi LatAm strategist Dirk Willer. "If the U.S. is repricing for higher rates, it's very difficult for you to get away with lower rates. South Africa (EZA) and Turkey (TUR) are not safe yet."

Fri, Jan. 31, 2:51 PM
- Good news for contrarian bulls on emerging markets - global emerging markets equity funds saw $6.33B of outflows this week, the fastest pace of exit on record, with institutional investors accounting for $5B of that figure.
- Previous: EM selloff "storm before the calm."

Fri, Jan. 31, 2:45 PM
- "We expect emerging market equities to form a base over the next few weeks, and eventually have a better year," says UBS, the team's optimism coming from a belief emerging market economies will generate solid growth in 2014.
- Earnings will be key, says UBS, noting EPS growth has collapsed since 2010, but a pickup to low double-digit growth seams feasible this year thanks to better GDP growth, currency weakness, and margin expansion. Trading at 10.1x forward earnings, EM equities are cheap.
- Favorite countries: China (FXI), Korea (EWY), Mexico (EWW), Peru (EPU), Hungary (GUR, ESR).

Thu, Jan. 30, 1:17 PM
- "International monetary cooperation has broken down," says India central bank boss Raghuram Rajan, a day after the Fed boosted the size of its taper and made no mention of melting-down emerging markets. Rajan joined counterparts from Turkey and South Africa this week in boosting rates to try and stem the slide in their domestic currencies.
- "The challenge is brought on by their own domestic policies," says former Fed Governor Randy Krosner. "It's unfair to say it's all the Fed's fault."
- Back in his IMF days in 2011, Rajan authored a report calling for the formation of a committee composed of representatives from the major central banks who would report on the spillover consequences of their individual policies. Good luck with that one.
- Emerging markets are getting a respite today amid a big rally in the West (of the West is rallying because of a respite in emerging markets).

Wed, Jan. 29, 2:51 PM
- The FOMC statement is "completely anodyne" from the U.S. point of view, says Citi's Steven Englander, but as far as emerging markets go it's "hasta la vista, baby." He notes the economic assessment was a hawkish surprise, with economic growth described as having "picked up" rather than "expanding at a moderate pace ... Look to the yen, Swiss franc, and euro to do well, [and] commodity currencies and emerging markets to do poorly."
- EM ETFs: EEM, VWO, DEM, EDC, DGS, EDZ, EEMV, SCHE, EEB, EDIV, IEMG, DVYE, EEV, BIK, EWX, BKF, CEW, PIE, ADRE, HILO, EUM, FNI, EET, GMM, PXH, BBRC, EEMS, EELV, FEMS, EEME, EMDD, BICK, DBEM, EMCR, FEM, EWEM, EVAL, EMBB, JEM, EMLB, EEHB, TLTE, EGRW, FNDE, EMHD, EMSA, EMFT, EMDR, QEM, QDEM
- TD Securities' Millan Mulraine also notes the "apparent absence of any concern about the recent turmoil in emerging markets."
- Earlier FOMC coverage
Tue, Jan. 28, 11:44 AM
- The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (ETF: EEM) is off 22% from a peak set about three years ago, with the most recent slide coming as currencies tumble. Central banks have begun hiking rates to combat, with India overnight boosting its benchmark for the third time in six months and Turkey expected to take action today (an announcement is due at 5 ET). The South African central bank meets tomorrow, but a rate hike is not necessarily on the table.
- As usual, the unwinding of an epic credit bubble in China and the effect on growth tops the list of fears. One trust product - the China Credit Trust - narrowly avoided default this week thanks to a mystery third-party rescue.
- Buy the dip, says Ashmore head of research Jan Dehn. "There is some serious dumbing down going on in financial markets right now when it comes to EM. EM debt levels (especially external debt), EM's general reliance on external markets, and EM's reserve holdings have all improved beyond all recognition over the past 10 years."
- Loomis Sayles' Peter Marber: "Compared to 1998, emerging markets hold over $7T more in hard currency reserves to cushion themselves from market volatility. For most emerging markets, the problems today are nothing like the problems of the mid-1990s. Very few countries are near default, and those that may be are relatively small."

Fri, Jan. 24, 8:16 AM
- The iShares Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) is off 1.3% in the premarket as investors rush out of emerging currencies. The Turkish lira plunged to a record low today, while Ukraine's hryvnia fell to a four-year low, and South Africa's Rand dove to its weakest since October 2008 following Argentina's decision to devalue the peso and a weak PMI report out of China yesterday.
- "We continue to see the risks surrounding China's macro trajectory as having a negative impact on EM," says Morgan Stanley's Rashique Rahman. "As capital costs rise and investment slows, commodity prices should come under pressure, boding poorly for economies linked to China's old growth model."
- In Russia, the ruble has declined to an all-time low vs. the euro.
- Of Turkey from Rareview Macro's Neil Azous: "Their net foreign-exchange reserves are dwindling pretty fast. They're definitely in the danger zone. If you're a money manager, the responsible action is to take some measures to reduce risk."

- You could have made the same bear case against emerging markets 10 years ago and you would have missed a decade of outperformance, says Everest Capital chief Marko Dimitrijevic, rebutting Goldman's recommendation to cut holdings in the sector. "If you reduce or ignore emerging markets, you're going to miss on literally hundreds of companies that are great."
- Overall, Dimitrijevic overall return estimates are just slightly higher than Goldman's, but the real alpha is to be made in specific sectors - education in Brazil, infrastructure in Mexico, retail, cement, oil and gas in Colombia, and consumer plays in Saudi Arabia.
- Everest is most bullish on frontier markets, or, as Dimitrijevic calls them, "EM 2.0." "It's a secular opportunity that reminds us very much of what now-mainstream emerging markets were like 15 or 20 years ago."
- Everest had a big year in 2013, gaining 41.2%. Its dedicated Frontier fund rose 28.8%.

Wed, Jan. 15, 4:16 AM
- The World Bank expects global economic expansion to accelerate to 3.2% in 2014 from 2.4% in 2013, led by advanced economies that seem "to be finally turning the corner" following the financial crisis.
- In its Global Economic Prospects report, the bank also forecasts growth of 3.4% in 2015 and 3.5% in 2016.
- The bank predicts that the U.S. will expand 2.8% this year, up from 1.8% last year.
- While the Fed's scaling back of its bond-buying program is one headwind for global prospects, stronger growth in high-income countries should offset the impact of the taper, the bank says. (PR)

- Emerging markets may seem cheap, but now's not the time to boost holdings, says Goldman in a report titled: Emerging Markets: As The Tide Goes Out. Those with a "moderate" tolerance for risk should cut exposure by a third - from 9% to 6% - says the team.
- The fast growth in EM from 2003-2007 was the result of a mix of economic circumstances not likely to be repeated, says Goldman. Instead, there's been a "seismic shift" in sentiment as returns were not as attractive as expected, growth rates were not as sustainable as imagined, and countries were not as stable as believed.

- It's worth paying another 50 or 60 basis points in expenses for a good ETF product not tracking a vanilla index, says RiverFront Investment's Rod Smyth at a Barron's ETF roundtable. One favorite in emerging markets is PowerShares' FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Portfolio (PXH) which tilts towards factors like book value and cash flow and offers bigger weighting to sectors like energy. Bullish on Japan, his pick is WisdomTree's Japan SmallCap Dividend Fund (DFJ). Another favorite is PowerShares' FTSE RAFI Developed Markets Ex-U.S. Portfolio (PXF).

- With institutional portfolios already plenty exposed to the played-out BRIC theme, MSCI launches the EM Beyond BRIC Index, made up of 17 countries, but excluding the BRIC nations.
- Larger EM countries like Taiwan, South Africa, and Korea are capped at just 15% of holdings in order to encourage diversification. This new index would have returned 12% annualized since 1999, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) by 90 basis points per year.
- State Street has already filed for the MSCI Beyond BRIC ETF (EMBB) to track the index.

Yahoo! outsources! India's! giant! supercomputer!
Yahoo! will start leasing computer scientists some quality time with the fourth fastest supercomputer in the world, courtesy of India-based Computational Research Laboratories (CRL). Under the agreement announced today, Yahoo! will make available CRL's enormous system to Indian academic institutions so long as they make use of …
When I was working as a telephone engineer back in 1982, I asked a customer what the whirring noise I could hear from their desk. The manager came in puffed out his chest & said "Oh, that the 10Mb Winchester Hard Disk." To which I said, "What on Earth do you need all that memory for?" I'd just bought a ZX81 with a 32kb ExpandeRam!
Complete BS
There is no way that thing would be able to run Crysis on medium mode. Does it even have DirectX 10 support?
Quote: "Hewlett-Packard-based cluster, sporting 14,400 processors, 28TB of memory, and 140TB of disk storage. EKA has a peak performance of 180 teraflops per second, has a sustained computation capacity of 120 teraflops..."
Should just about be able to run Vista then. Can I buy one in PC World?
Fishy statistics
More like 3560 blades (maybe 1780) with 2Gb RAM per core and appx 100Gb disk per core. (I don't know if top500 counts processors as per-core, or per physical package)
Once its looked at that ways and you realize that its a pile of boxes, the oodles-of-RAM-and-disk is quite a bit less impressive.
"Oily Anus"?
You know, I've been looking for the proper term to sum up "marketing", thank you!
Mine is the rain suit with hat & NBC mask, my friends, from marketing all have jackets with an extra pocket for optional colostomy bags.
You made my day!
All that computing power...
and the answer is still:
Isn't there such a small market for these cluster machines, and really when you start dealing with such astronomic numbers or iterations of computation how sure can you really be the answer is accurate.
'Computer says "no" '
Pile of blades?
Is it really a pile of blades? then it is a piece of s***, as HP blades share Ethernet fabric.. I would (and do) design these things as piles of Proliant doalprocessor servers.. and hey, you can put multiple multi-giga-ethernet adapters there!!
Sad days for supercomputing
Seymour Cray would be ashamed of current "supercomputers", if it turns out that the 4th most powerful supercomputer is just a bunch of el-cheapo x86 blade boxen.
It seems that the "1024 chicken" philosophy won after all, and we're now doomed to use mediocre hardware for all eternity!
Mine is the one with the liquid N2 cooling system ;)

ASIA/INDONESIA – Terrorism Alarm: at Christmas Muslims and Christians united in defense of churches
Jakarta (Agenzia Fides) - The Indonesian police is mobilizing to protect the Christian minority from terrorist threats that could disrupt Christmas. And, in addition to the commitment of the authorities, there is also a group of Muslims who have joined the Christian volunteers in order to provide an adequate service order especially on Christmas Day. As reported to Fides Agency by the local Church, there are several initiatives that see Christians and Muslims united to counter terrorist threats against Christians in the country, in different parts of Indonesia. A week ago, in fact, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono issued a public warning about a possible plan on behalf of Islamic extremists to attack Christians during Christmas. In Banda Aceh, on the island of Sumatra, the police have issued a warning about possible attacks and the threat level is high even in Jakarta (island of Java), such as the island of Sulwesi.
"Some intend to exploit religion for violent actions: it is an attempt to divide Muslims and Christians", warns the Muslim leader Toriq Bahharaddin . " Christians have to be cautious and vigilant", notes a Pastor of the Bethany Church in Jakarta. (PA) (Agenzia Fides 21/12/2013)

The next generation of personnel and cargo delivery parachutes for the modern warfighter produced by Airborne Systems will be displayed by HDT Global at the AUSA 2013 Annual Meeting and Exposition this week.
On display will be the Intruder which has been type-classified as the RA-1 to replace the MC-4 as the primary tactical parachute by the U.S. Army; T-11 personnel parachute; and other personnel support systems such as the Special Operations Long Range Oxygen Supply 3,000 psig (SOLR 3000) that offers 60% more oxygen capacity than the PHAOS; and the Parachutist High Altitude Thermal Suit (PHATS) – a complete thermal management suit that is lightweight, breathable, windproof and water repellant to protect against extreme cold temperatures during HAHO jumps.
Airborne Systems will also highlight the capabilities of the FlyClops, a fully autonomous, one-time use Guided Precision Airdrop System (GPADS) capable of carrying payloads ranging from 200 – 2,200 lb and only requires the impact coordinates and landing direction to provide precision cargo delivery from high altitude.
Airborne Systems is the technological leader in precision aerial delivery as evidenced by FireFly and DragonFly being adopted by the U.S. Army for its 2K and 10K JPADS programs.
GPADS lowers reliance on convoys and IED exposure, decreases the forward logistic footprint, reduces aircrew threat exposure and provides vertical and horizontal standoff with fewer deployed/exposed personnel.

Berwyn parents group demands resignation of school board president
BY STEVE WARMBIR Staff firstname.lastname@example.com
A Berwyn parents group on Monday demanded the resignation of its local high school board president after the Sun-Times published a story linking the school official to a major drug dealer and a ranking member of the Outlaws motorcycle gang.
Berwyn C.A.R.E.S., which has several hundred members, said it found Jeff Pesek, 38, the school board president of Morton High School District 201, "unfit to lead." The school district oversees several thousand students from Berwyn, Cicero and other suburbs.
"I'm sad, I'm embarrassed," said the Berwyn parents group's president, Robert Pauly, after learning of the revelations. Pauly said he was also optimistic that Pesek's resignation could lead to a fresh start for a troubled school district.
The Sun-Times reported Monday that Pesek testified under immunity from prosecution last year in the mob bombing trial of his childhood friend, Mark Polchan, the treasurer of the Outlaws motorcycle gang and a trusted associate of the Chicago mob.
Pesek and his brother Craig, who sits on the Cicero Library Board, were caught on an FBI surveillance device in 2007, a year before Polchan was arrested for the mob bombing, at Polchan's pawnshop in Cicero. At the pawnshop, the three men discussed Polchan's worry that he would be arrested for the bombing. He asked the brothers if they would post bond for him.
Also at the trial, a notorious, major drug dealer, Enrique "Henry" Rendon, testified under oath that he was a silent investor with Jeff Pesek in two businesses, a liquor store and bar in Cicero, and a downtown Chicago nightclub, Ontourage.
Jeff Pesek could not be reached for comment on Monday. The school board is scheduled to meet Wednesday.

First the good news: Your job lets you cuddle with fuzzy wuzzy bear cubs. Now for the "uh-oh" part: You have to track down their mom across the snows of Maine, get her sedated (at least five Brandy Alexanders), give her and the kids a physical, and wrap it all up before the drugs wear off. Sound like fun?

Frankly, I don't get the appeal. They just sit there in a boat, dangling a piece of string in the water. They say it's relaxing and all, but I don't wanna relax! I wanna run, jump around — you know, dog stuff — but instead I'm stuck here staring at this water for hours. And I haven't even seen one fish. Not. One. Fish.
And to top it all off, my tail hurts for some reason.
Well, who wouldn't want to nibble a cutie like that, Susan S.?
Over at Gizmodo, half the peeps are all like "Dude, that's so fake, that dog isn't really playing that game," and the other half is all like "Yeah, but he thinks he is, he's like totally rockin' it," but we know you're gonna be all like "Awwww, puppeh" and stuff.

Steve Gordon has been coaching Cumberland HighŌĆÖs wrestling program since time began. Well, not quite. Just since he got the program started back in 1969. ThatŌĆÖs 43 years, if youŌĆÖre counting.
The 70-year-old coach spent many of those early years trying to build his program from the ground floor up, creating a wrestling community in Cumberland, one or two parents at a time, that formed the foundation for his program.
Gordon learned a lot from the Coventry High School wrestling program, a dynasty that produced 17 straight state championship teams between 1982-98.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Five additional minutes seemed like a risky proposition for the Providence Friars. Turns out it was.
The final verdict, an 87-84 nail-biter in West VirginiaŌĆÖs favor, only re-opened the wound regarding how PC let SundayŌĆÖs Big East contest slip away. Missed free throws coupled with an inability to snatch rebounds on the defensive end were the main culprits. The two bugaboos came back to bite the home team hard when Mountaineers senior Daryl ŌĆ£TruckŌĆØ Bryant calmly and coolly splashed in a 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds remaining in OT, breaking what was a 84-84 affair.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō There are times that Ed Cooley must feel like heŌĆÖs being pulled in a thousand directions.
On one hand, Cooley is trying to build a program befitting of his workmanlike image. In order to accomplish that, the first-year PC head coach needs players that compliment this ideal. Based on the buzz surrounding one of the nationŌĆÖs most talked about recruiting classes, Cooley has allowed Friar fans to dream big about what the future may hold.
BURRILLVILLE --- Chalk one up for the public school teams!
For the first time in the two seasons of the 10-team Division I, a public-school squad has bumped off a parochial-school team, and Burrillville did the honors on Saturday night with a hard-fought victory over Moses Brown.
And one of the BroncosŌĆÖ youngest players rose to the occasion in arguably his teamŌĆÖs biggest game of the season, as freshman Chad Stone netted a hat trick to help Burrillville produce a 4-2 victory.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö There are four divisions in R.I. girlsŌĆÖ indoor track and without a doubt the toughest of them all is the Headley Division. The nine-team division features three of the top six schools from last yearŌĆÖs state meet, including five-time defending champion La Salle Academy.
SMITHFIELD -- Twenty-two days away from action did little to slow down North Smithfield on Friday night at the Smithfield Ice Rink.
Hannah Decelles and Courtney Sweeney each scored a pair of goals and Nicole Dumais added three assists to lead the Northmen to a 7-1 victory over winless Smithfield.
The Northmen, who are 4-7-1, but 3-2-1 in their last six games, also received goals from Cara Figuerido, Siobhan Kiernan, and Alexandria Gould, and Decelles also added a pair of assists.
WOONSOCKET --- Mount St. Charles took charge right from the start of its Division I contest with Moses Brown on Friday night at Adelard Arena and skated away with a 6-3 victory that gave the third-place hosts some breathing room in the power standings.
Now 7-5, the Mounties have 12.6 power points, which is now more than two over fourth-place Burrillville (10.2) and three over fifth-place Moses Brown (9.4), which saw its record fall to 6-6-1.
WOONSOCKET --- Pilgrim didnŌĆÖt win the battle of numbers on Friday night, but the Patriots won a very big game against Cumberland, a ŌĆśWŌĆÖ that vaulted them over the Clippers and into first place in the Division II-North standings.
Senior center Cody WeaverŌĆÖs second goal of the game with 2:14 to play in the game lifted the visiting Patriots to a hard-fought 3-2 triumph in a battle of two shorthanded teams at Adelard Arena.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō The look on the face of Burrillville High coach Lindsay Rachlow said it all. She wasnŌĆÖt out there with her players during Friday nightŌĆÖs Division II-North contest with Tolman, but she certainly showed the exhaustion of playing a fierce battle with the Tigers.
It was a battle that her Broncos managed to win, eking out a 48-47 victory over Tolman before its typically-loud fan base at the Donaldson Gymnasium.
BARRINGTON ŌĆō Woonsocket scored one of its most satisfying victories of the season on Thursday night, rallying from an early 7-0 deficit to edge Barrington 48-43 and take over second place in Division I-North.
Kailey Fugere scored 30 points and Michelle Brayboy added 13 for the Villa Novans, who are now 9-3 and have won their last six league games. The victory avenged an early-season 51-32 loss to Barrington on WoonsocketŌĆÖs home court.
Fugere added 11 rebounds and netted the decisive basket with 40 seconds left to play as Woonsocket took a 48-43 lead and then held on for the win.

The Federal Reserve Board's monthly index that measures U.S. industrial production of medical equipment and supplies registered 120.8 in April (in 2002, it was 100). This value was down slightly from the previous month, but it represented a gain of almost 6 percent from the same month a year ago. For the year to date, the total U.S. output of these products is up 4 percent from the comparable period in 2013. I expect this pace of growth will be sustained through the second half of this year.

Cook Time:

Sarmale are tradditional Romanian cabbage rolls that are always served at weddings and during Christmas, as well as other occasions or for no occasion at all. My Romanian friend, Carmen, gave me this family recipe that she altered slighty since becoming vegetarian. It can be a lot of work and a little complicated as you first try rolling/stuffing the cabbage leaves, but after a little practice you'll get it and the results are fantastic!

We are rapidly approaching the first big weekend of the summer months that being a long memorial day holiday weekend. Like so many things that are important and significant in this country the holiday of Memorial Day was founded the cause of the trauma of the civil war…. As was baseball the Red Cross and Rapid mass movement of armies by railroad.
The pattern going into this week will feature a strong ridge/ dome over the Midwest which will bring about several warm/ hot days for that portion of the nation. However the warmth will not really get into the Middle Atlantic states this week as the ridge is actually retrograde– moving WEST towards the Plains and not towards the East coast.
Of some concern is the development of a low pressure area in the southwest Atlantic which has been showing up on the various global weather models for the last several days. There's been some talk from private weather services– such as Joe Bastardi up in accu weather land — at this system could become a significant tropical feature but that in fact it really is fantasy and not likely to happen.
There is a small chance this feature could become a subtropical low but even when you are always dealing with the the "extreme" scenario that JB loves to do… Reality has to be a factor. In this case the reality has to do with amazingly cold water which continues to exist over the southwest Atlantic Ocean. This large pool of cold water in the southwest Atlantic Ocean can be seen here.
If you think that this system has a chance to develop with of SSTA that are running anywhere from 1-3° below normal in the southwest Atlantic in late May… You probably need to slow down and rethink that.
Assuming this sort of sub tropical Low does in fact stay off the middle Atlantic Coast this weekend the long Holiday weekend should be OK for the Middle Atlantic region. There will be a weak cold front moving through PA NH MD DE VA traveling from north to south that will bring a few passing showers to the area Friday afternoon and evening. Parenthetically it is THIS cold front on Friday that will ensure the Low over the southwest Atlantic Ocean will be driven out to sea.
The rest of the holiday weekend looks to be pretty decent with warm temperatures but no serious heat and no significant rain threats on either Saturday Sunday or Monday. In summary at this point looks to be ideal.
The retrogression of the ridge will continue as we move into early June 2010 and will eventually reach the West coast. This would generally support some sort of trough position being located over some portion of the eastern Conus. This is strongly indicated by the European ensemble mean position…. Which shows are significant positive height anomaly over central and Southern California and other one over Eastern Canada.
The 0z GFS ensemble mean is mcuh more scattered and all over the Place. Some other individual members have a pretty significant trough over the Midwest and the northeast… while other members show a flat wide ridge over CA and the sw states and a strong Pacific jet coming into the Pacific NW and sw Canada. The jet then spreads as it moves into the Plains and Midwest—- the flow becomes more diffluent aloft– which could set up a fairly strongly pattern for the Midwest and the Middle Atlantic states.

I can't understand the meteorological jargon.. are you predicting rain for the weekend of June 5th?
- Comment by AS — May 27, 2010 @ 9:12 pm
Will you be updating the weather for the weekend? They are calling for serious thunderstorms…
- Comment by wxrisk — May 28, 2010 @ 1:55 pm
NO there will be No more thunderstorms for any prtiond of central VA this weekend– NONE for saturday None for Sunday and NONE for Monday
tempes will be very Nice Saturday and Sunday and warmer ../ hot on Monday.
- Comment by wxrisk — May 28, 2010 @ 1:58 pm
NO I am NOT. Right now Most of data shows the cold front that comes through the Northeast / Middle Atlantic on JUNE 3-4 will push off shore…. and NOT stall.
Assuming that is correct the weekend of JUE 4-5-6 should be very nice…cooler than Normal temps. butthe "trickY' or uncertain day will be June 4

Jack Ingram
Winner for: Country
He could have been a contender and still is, go figure; how didSony miss with Jack Ingram, anyway? Maybe at that label, you have to sue to be saved, especially on the country side of life. Consider: He's the literate songwriter with movie-star good looks, a city boy who crossed over to the country crowd long before it found its longneck saviors at the bottom of a cracker barrel, but he's so barely on Sony these days you're closer to being signed if you belong to the Columbia House Music Club. (The label released his new EP Extra Volts, and by released I mean they gave him copies to send out to press and sell at shows.) No mystery why the label treats Ingram like a rumor: He's a tough sell, because unlike his frat-house-dance-hall peers, Ingram believes you gotta work for the good time, that the party at the end of the week has to mean something other than the hangover forthcoming.
His body of work, which creases with a few extra wrinkles of wisdom with each release, suggests a man who believes in consequence and responsibility, guilt and accountability--and faded love mixed within, if there's room enough and time enough between the wonderin' and the worryin'. In Nashville they're writing star-spangled anthems, hackneyed hymns to spur radio play and album sales (If you don't buy Darryl Worley's new CD, you must hate America); in North Dallas, Ingram's writing about "Red, White and Blues" and feeling bad about feeling bad about not paying his dues. It's not quite his anti-pro-war song--such a thing's never before existed--but comes damned close; such are his talents he can make you think before you take that drink, which is pretty much the last thing the country audience wants (the thinkin' part, not the drinkin' thing). Then, Ingram's about this closeto country these days and further distancing himself quite valiantly; if last year's Electricwas a tenuous jump into the deep end, Extra Voltsis where he goes under and holds his breath till his lungs start to burn. Next year he wins singer, songwriter and musician of the year; if he doesn't, then you must not love America. --Robert Wilonsky
South FM
Winner for: Rock/Pop
In the beginning, I completely dismissed South FM, stiff-arming them with a few one-liners and high-stepping away. I heard the malady instead of the melody, thought they were just another lowest-common-denominator band playing to the lowest-common-denominator crowd at, say, Curtain Club. I missed the point, heard but didn't listen, shot first and never got around to asking questions. But I was the only one: On the strength of their debut (think: Deftones making a straight-up pop-rock record), South FM (singer Paco Estrada, guitarists G.I. Sanders and Chad Abbott, bassist Doug McGrath and new drummer John Humphrey) has gone from bottom-of-the-bill to king-of-the-hill, from battle-of-the-bands busts to a deal with MCA Records.
In the process, they proved themselves to be, arguably, Dallas' most radio-ready band. Which isn't the slur it once was, not if you've heard "Dear Claudia" (a narrow second for Best Song) and "My Sanity," songs with choruses that burn themselves onto your internal CD-R on first listen, intense and tender at the same time, like a rabid dog with a thorn in its paw. For the re-release of Drama Kids, which hits stores May 20, MCA enlisted high-profile producers Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Bad Religion) and Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam) to remix those tracks (along with "Seven," another standout). By summer, they should be on the radio more than station IDs. And I'll pay attention this time. --Z.C.
Erykah Badu
Winner for: Funk/R&B
There are several ways to explain why you voted Erykah Badu best Funk/R&B act for the third year in a row. The first, of course, is the enduring quality of her two studio albums, 1997's Baduizm and 2000's Mama's Gun, both of which time has only given the opportunity to unfurl at a pace suited to Badu's brain-melting voice and her sassy/sweet songwriting. Even "On & On," the big MTV hit that first brought the 32-year-old Dallas native national attention, sounds fresher today than a lot of the C-grade filler the neo-soul scene's produced in earnest since.
Then there's her famously incendiary live show, captured on '97's Live, where she refers to herself in the third person, says she's an artist and is therefore "sensitive about my shit" and tells a no-good suitor to get his own damn cell phone. And her collaborative work demands its own visit to the virtual ballot box: "Love of My Life," the self-styled "ode to hip-hop" she and boyfriend Common had featured on last year's Brown Sugar soundtrack, flowed some heavy allegorical nostalgia over a tasty flute loop; before that, Badu donated crucial juice to "Humble Mumble," one of the weirder numbers on Stankonia, the breakthrough by her ex-boyfriend Andre Benjamin's group OutKast.
All that aside, though, anyone who saw Badu present a Grammy a couple of months ago--complete with killer hairdo, rabid eyes, dead prez T-shirt and TelePrompTer backtalk--knows the real reason you've deemed her worthy of this here prize: You were scared to death not to vote for her. Afraid she'd pillage the Observer's offices and find your name included in a file of dissenters'. Afraid she'd take that information to the public library, find your address, come to your house and hurt you. The woman remains a force to be reckoned with. --M.W.

I did a little crafting today and created this tall, thin snowman to add to our holiday decor. All he needs now is his nose, which long-time blog reader and friend Yvonne is sending along - Thanks Yvonne!! This fella can't wait to smell sugar cookies and hot cocoa!
His body is made from tea dyed muslin. His hat is made from a beautiful black and grey plaid flannel, and his scarf is a strip of festive homespun. I sewed rusty old bells to his belly, and hand stitched his eyes and smile. On his hip, I added a small little pocket so that I could tuck some pip berry and evergreen sprigs, as well as a glittery branch and little tin star.
I LOVE SNOWMEN! *grin*

I have a bit of news to share, and thought before I start posting regularly about *snow* and confusing those of you who know we live in Texas, I should mention it...
Recently, Alan and I bought a place in NE Washington state, near where my family is. My recent lack of posts has been due to the incredible amount of work and time we've spent on things related to the new place. Now that I have a bit more time on my hands, I thought it was a good time to share. I also thought I would start a new category on the blog called "Life in the Woods", to help me keep things organized.
Earlier this week after work I popped up to the lake. There were deer and turkey out enjoying the evening... unfortuately, I didn't even think to snap a photo of them. I was really just enjoying watching them go about their routine. I did take these two photos of the lake with my phone, though. It was just before sunset, and everything was just beautiful. Aside from the honking of migrating geese and a light breeze in the trees, I don't recall hearing anything else. I do love a quiet moment like that. There hadn't really been any freezing temperatures yet, but it was very chilly, and the water was crystal clear. Now that we've had a few days and nights below freezing, I look forward to seeing how things have changed there.
Anyway, I'm excited to be sharing our news with you, and hope you look forward to seeing a new variety of posts. You'll still see posts about the farm and the critters. Now, in addition to the farm animals, you'll see posts about the occasional wild animal, too!

To make my card, I used the Feather die set, along with the Pine Pair die set, and a sentiment from the Autumn Leaves clear stamp set. I die cut pretty designer papers in various brown tones as well as a beautiful copper colored glitter paper for a bit of sparkle and shine.
To dress up the feathers, I added a fall themed button tied with a hemp twine bow. I love using browns in my crafting, and look forward to using a lot more rich, warm browns in my holiday crafts this year!

If you're a stamper and you like challenges, or you're new to the idea of challenges and want to give one a whirl, I invite you to participate with The Challenge Chicks! We're a small group of friends and stampers hosting monthly challenges. Won't you join us?!
Our challenge for November 2014 has been issued by Kelly! The challenge topic is to make a Silver and/or Gold seasonal project. I chose to make a simple autumn inspired Post-it Note cover.
I used the Notepad Cover Bigz L die by Brenda Walton. I used my BigShot and two cutting plates to cut the cover from 80# cardstock.
Once the cardstock was cut, I folded the cover on the score lines that were created during the cutting process.
I used double sided adhesive on the back of a stack of Post-it Notes to adhere the stack to the newly created cover.
There is a nice opening made for tucking the point of the cover flap into, but I decided to change mine up a bit by using a little tiny mini velcro dot to hold the cover closed. I found the mini velcro dots in the sewing section of Walmart.
I used the die to cut several more laters of paper, including gold foil paper, so that I could embellish the cover. I adhered a button to the cover with a large glue dot. Clean and simple! And a nice small gift.
Now, get yourself a good dose of inspiration and check out the rest of The Challenge Chicks projects:

Vintaj and Sizzix teamed up for a fun, week-long blog hop, to bring you an entire week of crafts using the brand new Sizzix Bezel Framelits Dies and the Vintaj brass Bezels.
Today is my day to share inspiration with you!
I created a clean and simple natured inspired necklace using the Sizzix Fern Fronds DecoEmboss die, Eclectic Bezels, Oval Bezel Decorative Pendant, Vintaj Glaze, foil, and Vintaj Patina.
I started by using the bezel die to die cut an oval from copper foil. I then embossed the foil oval using the Fern Fronds DecoEmboss die. I added several colors of patina to the debossed areas of the image impression, and waited for the patina colors to dry.
Once dry, I used a fine sand paper to brighten up the raised areas of the embossed design, to really bring out the copper color of the foil. I adhered the foil to the decorative pendant and sealed the entire surface of the foil with Glaze.
I found some antiqued copper colored charms and beads in my stash and created some complimentary accent pieces for my pendant. I attached them all to a leather cord using similarly colored jump rings.
I had so much fun creating this necklace. Such a nice change of pace from my usual every-day crafting!
Now, use the following list to check out the daily inspiration - make special note of the scheduled post date for each one!

There are similar recipes on zaar, but I will swear by this one. Got this from a friend who got it from a friend who got it from a bed & breakfast she stayed at. Prepare it the night before you want to serve it and pop it in the oven in the morning for a wonderful breakfast. Easy & delicious.
