NEW DELHI: An inter-State bus terminus being developed in Dwarka sub-city will become the first integrated transit hub in the country catering to inter-State buses, metro railways and the proposed light rail transit system.
To be constructed under public-private partnership by the Delhi Government, the project will be contracted out for development by this coming August, said State Transport Commissioner R.K. Verma at an "Investors' Meet" organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry here on Thursday.
All passenger amenities
"ISBT Dwarka will comprise bus terminal facilities with all passenger amenities and provide interconnectivity between multiple modes of public transport. The project envisages development of a five-star hotel including commercial space, development of a 22-bus base at the ground level and underground provision for parking of buses," said Mr. Verma, adding that the project located near the world-class convention centre developed by DLF and Indira Gandhi International Airport will be governed by the Master Plan for Delhi - 2021.
Interacting with potential developers, Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System Managing Director S.N. Sahai said the project, on a build-operate-maintain-manage basis, is on offer for 40 years. It would be made operational before the Commonwealth Games in 2010.
Rajnish Goenka of the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the ISBT would reduce the load on the existing Kashmere Gate terminal, curtail movement of inter-State buses within the city and at the same time create a new model of development.

|The changing paradigm of state sovereignty In the international system
|Kelleh, Fassue
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|The system of state relations in the international system was established at the end of the Forty Years War, which culminated in the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. The treaty was based on sovereignty, which is rooted in the principle of non-intervention by other states in the internal affairs of members. This sovereignty, supposedly outlined in the Treaty of Westphalia, was originally defined as the absolute power of the king and later the state to reign over a population. However, in the three and a half centuries since the Treaty of Westphalia, the concept of sovereignty has undergone profound changes. Beginning with the French Revolution when the people overthrew their king and made themselves the repository of sovereignty, the definition of sovereignty has profoundly changed, giving rise to constitutional government. Since then, sovereignty has increasingly been defined in alignment with the people. The concept of sovereignty has also felt the weight of the various multi-national treaties enacted after World War II, with the United Nations (UN) taking center stage by prescribing the actions of their signatories. The result has been a redefinition of sovereignty whereby international peace, as defined by the UN, is prior to the sovereign rights of states, culminating in the subjugation of state sovereignty to their international obligations. Sovereignty is further redefined in light of the assault from globalization, which makes it impossible for a state to be truly independent. More recently, state sovereignty is undergoing yet another reconceptualization, currently manifested through a state's obligation to its citizens based on the emerging norms of "the responsibility to protect� (R2P). The underlying logic of R2P is conditional sovereignty in exchange for responsible behavior of states. It maintains that sovereignty is not a privilege but instead, responsibility. Failure to fulfill this responsibility therefore gives others the right to intervene.This work maintains that although R2P is currently applicable only to areas of gross human rights violations, it opens a Pandora's Box that will cover not only traditional security areas, but also economic and social as well all of which impinge on the physical security of citizens.

For providing poor dental treatment to his patient, a Vashi-based dentist was recently penalised by the additional Thane district consumer dispute redressal forum recently. The dentist has been told to pay Rs10,000 for causing the complainant mental agony. The forum has also asked him to pay an additional amount of Rs5,000 towards the complainant's litigation cost.
The case dates back to December 21, 2009, when Bharat Shastri went to Citizen Dental Clinic, run by Dr Anand Krushnamurti, to seek dental treatments such as fixing a crown, composite filling, scaling, polishing and lower removable partial dentures( RPD). The dentist accordingly made his treatment plan and thereby informed the complainant that the cost for the treatment would come up to Rs9,700.
The forum's order copy reads: "However, in January 2010, the complainant had made certain changes in the treatment plan, thereby asking the dentist to replace the ordinary crown with a metal-free Orion crown, which had an eight-year warranty. The dentist accordingly accepted the changes and accordingly informed Shastri of the revised bill amount, which came up to Rs17,300. Shastri thereby accepted the new plan and immediately paid an amount of Rs5,000 as the advance amount," reads the forum's order copy.
By December 2010 both the permanent crowns were fixed on Shastri's teeth and accordingly, he was issued with a bill. After going through the bills, Shastri realised that instead using of Orion crowns, PFM crowns were fixed on his teeth which were neither metal free nor having warranty. Aggrieved by the dentist's negligent attitude, Shastri approached the forum and filed a complaint.
After going through the complaint, the forum asked Dr Krushnamurti to file a reply. In his reply, the dentist claimed that it was a trick adopted by the complaint to extort money from him. The doctor claimed that at one point of time, Shastri at one point had informed him that he was not able to pay for the revised bill amount, which was why he was given the ordinary crowns.
However, not accepting this the explanation, the forum held that the dentist's act must have caused mental agony to Shastri.

Hey, Bloomberg: Mind Your Own Crumbling City
Posted By Michelle Malkin On July 14, 2014 @ 12:25 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 25 Comments
[1]Some sore losers just don't know when to pick up their billion-dollar marbles and go away. Far, far away.
I'm looking at you, Michael Bloomberg.
The former New York City mayor mouthed off about my adopted hometown of Colorado Springs and my friends in nearby Pueblo in Rolling Stone magazine this month. He snidely bashed our neighborhoods as backwater holes "where I don't think there's roads. It's as far rural as you can get."
Snotty Bloomberg is as clueless about geography as he is about the Second Amendment. Colorado Springs and Pueblo are the second and seventh largest cities in the state, respectively. If we're hee-haw, everyone's hee-haw. (And what's wrong with hee-haw, anyway?)
Why such vitriol and hatred for the Rockies from the man who pompously co-founded the "No Labels" movement for "civility" in politics?
Simple: Bloomberg's still smarting from the ground-breaking losses he and his gun-grabbing East Coast elite pals suffered last fall.
Grass-roots activists — independents, former Democrats, constitutional conservatives and Republicans — successfully recalled two top gun control zealots in our state legislature.
The recall organizers were outspent by a whopping 7-to-1 margin. Bloomberg poured $350,000 into the failed effort to stave off the historic recalls.
Listen up, Bloomie: Butt out of our state and mind your own crumbling city before you bash anyone else's infrastructure.
You were mayor of New York City for 12 years. How are your roads, bridges and utilities doing, Pal?
According to the Center for an Urban Future's Adam Forman, "1,000 miles of water mains, 170 school buildings and 165 bridges were constructed over a century ago.
The city's public hospital buildings are 57 years old, on average, and 531 public housing towers were built prior to 1950." The center's report documented 403 water main breaks last year. And in 2012, "162 bridges across the city — or 11 percent of the total — were structurally deficient," and 47 of these were deemed "fracture critical."
Take a Big Gulp of these additional fun facts:
— "Thirty seven percent of all subway signals exceed their 50-year useful life, slowing the movement of trains."
— "Approximately 4,000 miles of sewer pipe across the city are made of vitreous clay, a material susceptible to cracking and blockage.
— Meanwhile, 1,500 of the 2,600 public housing buildings do not comply with local standards for exterior and facade conditions.
— In Manhattan and Staten Island, less than 60 percent of roads were rated "good" by residents. A "staggering 65.9 percent of streets in West Harlem/Morningside Heights" were in "fair to poor condition."
— Highway maintenance has deteriorated over Bloomberg's tenure. In 2012, 51 percent of highways were rated poor to fair, compared to 38 percent in 2008. "Conditions have declined in every borough except Brooklyn."
Oh, and dare I mention to you and your city slicker clique that embarrassing time you had a few Christmas seasons ago dealing with a few feet of snow. Hundreds of ambulances were left stranded. Mass transit was paralyzed. Businesses suffered. Your bungling and AWOL jet setting (Bloomberg was flying to Bermuda while New Yorkers braced for the storm) cost taxpayers the entire $40 million snow removal budget and $30 million in city overtime.
But we're the bumbling yokels?
Go home, Nanny Bloomberg. Keep your high-and-mighty nose out of our business, your hands off our guns and your money out of our state.

Top Notes: Rosemary
Middle Notes: Tonka Bean, Spices, Honey
Base Notes: Vanilla, Woody Notes, Tobacco, Amber
Initially, there is a blast of something that smells a bit like rum or brandy, but this is ephemeral. Soon the scent begins to show off its title component, tonka bean. When this appears, it seems a bit muddied at first, but that, too, soon resolves, and a clear honey note emerges alongside the tonka. Then, in rapid succession, vanilla, tobacco, and amber. Strangely, the real signature of this waits for the end, which is a while in coming: with all the others setting the stage, a spicy-woody rosemary steals in, and makes this creation truly beautiful. There is a definite unity of style among the L'Art et la Matière series, and this one fits right in, somewhere between Angélique Noire and Bois d'Arménie.
Yr good bud,

US wholesale prices rise 0.7 pct. on gas spike
Thursday - 3/14/2013, 5:12pm EDT
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A measure of U.S. wholesale prices rose in February by the most in five months, pushed higher by more expensive gas and pharmaceuticals. But outside those increases, inflation was mild.
The producer price index grew a seasonally adjusted 0.7 percent in February from January, the Labor Department said Thursday. That's up from 0.2 percent in the previous month. Wholesale gas prices increased 7.2 percent.
Even with the increase, wholesale prices have risen just 1.7 percent in the past 12 months. That's below the Federal Reserve's 2 percent inflation target. Mild inflation gives the Fed more latitude to continue with its aggressive policies to spur more economic growth.
The index measures the cost of goods before they reach consumers. Wholesale prices are what manufacturers and farmers receive for their products from retailers and distributors.
Excluding volatile food and energy costs, core wholesale prices rose only 0.2 percent last month. In the past 12 months, core prices have increased 1.7 percent.
Higher pharmaceutical costs accounted for 20 percent of the increase in core prices last month. Car and pickup truck prices also rose.
Wholesale food prices fell 0.5 percent last month, led by an 18 percent drop in vegetable costs, the most in nearly two years. The price of broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce all fell sharply.
Gas prices have soared this year after falling at the end of 2012. The national average price for a gallon of gas jumped from $3.42 on Jan. 31 to $3.78 on Feb. 28.
Since then, however, gas prices have come down a bit. They averaged $3.70 a gallon Wednesday.
Higher wholesale prices don't always mean consumers will soon pay more. High unemployment and weak pay gains are making it difficult for retailers to pass on higher costs to consumers.
Low inflation means consumers can spend more on other goods and services, which helps the economy. It also gives the Federal Reserve room to keep interest rates low and buy bonds to help boost the economy. If prices were to begin rising rapidly, the central bank might be forced to raise rates to try to slow inflation.
As long as the inflation outlook stays mild, the Fed said it plans to keep the short-term interest rate it controls near zero until the unemployment rate falls to at least 6.5 percent.

Pyrrhula is a small genus of passerine birds, commonly called bullfinches, belonging to the finch family (Fringillidae).
The genus has a palearctic distribution. All species occur in Asia with two species exclusively in the Himalayas and one species, P. pyrrhula, also occurring in Europe. The Azores bullfinch (P. murina) is a critically endangered species (about 120 pairs remaining), occurring only in the east of the island of São Miguel in the Azores archipelago.
Analysis of the mtDNA cytochrome b sequence indicates that the holarctic pine grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator) is the closest living relative of this genus. Arguably, it could be included in Pyrrhula, but more probably is a distinct offshoot of a common ancestor, with the pine grosbeak as the sister group to the ancestor of the bullfinches.[1] The evolution of the bullfinch species started soon after the pine grosbeak's ancestors diverged from them (at the end of the Middle Miocene, about a dozen mya), and it is quite possible that the latter species evolved in North America; what is fairly certain is that the bullfinch radiation started in the general area of the Himalayas. The mountain finches also seem to be part of this clade.[2]
Bullfinches have glossy black wings and tail feathers. They show a white rump. The legs and feet are fleshy brown. Their short, swollen bill is adapted to eat buds, and is black except in P. nipalensis, which has a yellowish bill. The males can be distinguished by their orange or red breast. Some species have a black cap.
Bullfinch species are sedentary to migratory; probably most populations are partially migratory. Populations winter chiefly within the breeding range, those breeding at high levels tending to make altitudinal movements. Most migrants move short or medium distances, but some (apparently chiefly from Russia) move longer distances; in northern and central Europe, there is no evidence that northern populations move farther than southern ones. North European birds move within a wider compass than central European birds. Bullfinches are also eruptive migrants; numbers migrating show marked annual fluctuations; no link with particular food source has been established. Autumn migration begins late, and is fairly brief, mostly October–November; spring migration February–April.
The Eurasian bullfinch population in Britain has been in serious decline since the mid-1970s, following a period of relative stability, and numbers have fallen by 62% in 35 years. The decline was initially rapid, but has been shallower since the early 1980s. Nevertheless, the Centre for Environmental Studies and Breeding Bird Survey both suggest that the decline is continuing, at least in southern Britain. The demographic mechanism remains unclear, [3] although agricultural intensification is suspected to have played a part. CES data indicate that productivity has increased over the last decade, and nest failure rates at the chick stage (15 days) have fallen from 37% to 21%.
The taxonomy was described in 2001. All birds belonging to the genus Pyrrhula have a common ancestor Pinicola enucleator.[1][4]

Steven Spielberg: In 2012, 'Chris Christie Was a Hero for Me' (Q&A)
THR: What in history are you drawn to now?
Spielberg: World War II, still World War II. Stories of heroism and sacrifice. Miraculous stories of someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time and all of a sudden wound up saving 20 lives. I don't necessarily agree that is a romantic war. My father always said to me: "Do not romanticize World War II. I fought in that war. It was romantic for no one who was fighting in India and Burma in those days" — mydad was a CBI in the China-Burma-India campaign. He said, "Do not romanticize this because it's not like a John Wayne movie."
Day-Lewis: For me, as I was growing up, in the fighting itself and the experiences themselves, there was no romance. But I always sensed, certainly from my mother's [actress Jill Balcon] generation, that the sense of unification was romantic.
Spielberg: That's OK. It was the first time that we had to fight a necessary war to save Western democracy.
STORY: Sen. Harry Reid to Screen 'Lincoln' for the U.S. Senate
THR: Do you have another World War II film in you?
Spielberg: No. If something comes along that really grabs my attention, but nothing has so far.
THR: What have you been reading historically of late?
Spielberg: I'm interested in Charlemagne. I'm interested in Alexander the Great. I'm interested in Cortez and Montezuma, and I'm developing a movie about Cortez and Montezuma right now. But not everything I'm interested in becomes a life's work.
THR: What else are you reading?
Spielberg: I just finished [M.L. Stedman's novel] The Light Between Oceans.
Day-Lewis: [Laughs.] He's waiting in line for Jacob's Folly! [by Day-Lewis' wife].
Spielberg: I am, I am! My wife's reading it right now.
STORY: Steven Spielberg Receives Standing Ovation at 'Lincoln' L.A. Premiere
Day-Lewis: I just finished Cat's Table, by Michael Ondaatje. And I'm now reading a book called An American Requiem, an autobiographical book [by James Carroll] about a young man growing up in an Irish-American family in Chicago who's destined for the priesthood and who becomes disenchanted by the priesthood during the Vietnam years. I've read Stefan Zweig's Confusion recently as well, which I thought was a quite remarkable short book.
THR: Coming back to film, Robopocalypse is next for you, Steven. I thought you said recently that you were going to veer away from action.
Spielberg: No. Not really. I mean, action should be the product of a story, not for its own existence. So I wouldn't just say, "I'm not doing anything that has action in it." But I'm not interested in doing action for the sake of just raising the pulse rate of an audience. I'd rather there be a compelling concept or character.
THR: Would you direct one of the new Star Wars films?
Spielberg: No. That's not my genre. I always said to George [Lucas],"My genre is aliens coming to Earth. My genre isn't going out to find aliens!"
STORY: Daniel Day-Lewis Honored by Santa Barbara Int'l Film Fest
THR: Did he ever ask you to direct one?
Spielberg: He never did.
THR: What most surprised you about Lincoln the man, and what would you most like to know about him?
Day-Lewis: The entirety of his life was a discovery for me. But the humor was particularly interesting; he was almost using it to please himself, like all good storytellers. They need an audience, but theyalso really are pleasing themselves,in a certain kind of way.
THR: Are you a storyteller?
Day-Lewis: No, I'm not.
THR: Even though you're so connected to writers — your father, poet Cecil Day-Lewis, and your father-in-law, playwright Arthur Miller?
Day-Lewis: I don't think I am one. Luckily, I've known a couple, and so I understand the power of the oral tradition.
STORY: Daniel Day-Lewis Spoofs Clint Eastwood's Obama Chair Routine at Britannia Awards (Video)
THR: Do you write?
Day-Lewis: In a kind of a way, I do. Not in a sustained fashion, but I do: I write articles; I write pieces from time to time. But I don't write in a regular sense. I don't consider myself a writer. But I was going to say, what one would most like to know about him can never be answered: One can't help trying to imagine what might have taken place had he survived to oversee the reconstruction after the devastation of the Civil War. And had he done so, how different history would have been, the history of this country.
THR: What was the toughest part of making Lincoln?
Both: [Laughing.] Saying yes! But now you miss it.
Day-Lewis: I may be wrong,but I think there's a word in Czechoslovakian [nostalgicky], which is a nostalgia for something that hasn't happened yet. Anticipated nostalgia.
Never miss a story. Stay up-to-date with THR's Daily Headlines.

Spitzer Goes To The Olympics
Artwork inspired by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope is making an appearance at this year's Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia. No, it's not battling other telescopes for the "gold," but its observations are now on display as part of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad Festival.
The Spitzer art project, called "We are Stardust," was created by George Legrady, a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The two-screen installation maps the sequence of 36,034 observations made by the space telescope from 2003 to 2008. Spitzer sees infrared light from the cosmos, capturing images of everything from comets in our solar system to galaxies billions of light-years away.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., manages the Spitzer Space Telescope mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Science operations are conducted at the Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

GRAVENHURST - A longtime Gravenhurst resident whose fondest summer memories include sun-basking days on busy town docks wants to know where those days have gone.
Sharon Foley was before town council April 17 and through a photographic presentation and strong commentary on the "boatless" state of Gravenhurst's Muskoka wharf is seeking to encourage a wave of change there.
"I'm a true believer in Gravenhurst. I want it to be all that it can be and we need to maximize our assets to do that," Foley said.
"There's one asset in particular that needs a lot of work and that's our boatless wharf and that's an oxymoron if I ever heard one."
Foley said even in the 1990s, when the wharf area was rudimentary and a bit crude with about 65 floating, rough-shod docks in Muskoka Bay, the area was often crowded, busy and full of life. At that time, the town was renting or leasing dock slips for a few hundred dollars a season and boat traffic was typically heavy.
"It was a busy place and a fun place to visit," she said. "Now, there's a lot more slick development down there; and we have 122 floating docks that are actually sturdy and don't sink when you stand on one side."
"But they're empty," she added. "There's no boats in the water and it makes no sense; our wharf sits empty."
She showed a series of photos taken last summer from Gravenhurst that show a busy farmers market and people milling around the wharf area; however, the wharf sits empty.
Meanwhile, she showed photos from other local communities with wharf facilities, like Midland or Meaford harbours, that show the waterfronts bustling with boats and the tourists and the business they bring.
Foley gave some history of the new wharf area docks, which were built with a three-way cost sharing between the federal, provincial and municipal governments. The total cost, more than $1 million included almost 50 per cent ($477,000) support from the town, but a 25-year agreement with COIP (Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Program) reserves many of the 122 dock spots for retail parking, "for the flotilla of cottagers that are going to come and shop at the shops at the wharf."
"I don't know who came up with the formula, but it's a flawed formula; there will never, ever be 122 boats at any one time coming to dine and shop at the wharf, ever," Foley said.
The town needs to begin a renegotiation process with the now-defunct COIP to lift the reservation on the slips so that they can then begin to lease those off or make them available for regular, short-term use, she said. She feels providing slips for a reasonably priced short-term lease to local residents or cottagers would help offset maintenance costs and make the area busy again.
"Busyness begets business," Foley said. "Everyone would win … and I'm not the only one who feels that way."
She presented council with a petition with some 270 names and counting, as well as letters of support.
The previous town council had made attempts to renegotiate the 25-year reserve, to no avail. Mayor Paisley Donaldson said with a new council and new focus on re-energizing the town's commercial potential, it is probably time to re-investigate the issue.
"I can't disagree with a lot of the comments that you made," the mayor said. "I agree; we need to be more persistent. We need to do our homework here as well though.
"If they're (docks) not being used they need to be and generate the people and the life back into the wharf," she added, directing staff to create a report and a proposal to gain control of the Muskoka Bay area docks. "We are certainly going to pursue it and hopefully have some success this time; you have a new council, a new CAO, we're willing and want to make some changes and see some things happen that haven't happened to make it (the wharf) come alive again."

would my fuel pump cause me to have code 300 and multi misfires,
I have multi misfire codes and when i try to speed up to pass another vehicle, i get hesitation until i drop below 3000 rpms? Now it barely has any power.
2 Answers
HouseCallAuto 10/2/2012yes it could, but to confirm that, all you need to do is perform a fuel pressure test using a fuel ptressure gauge and hose adaptor. Attach the pressure gauge to the schrader valve on the fuel rail and start the engine and read the pressure. It should be 49 PSI plus or minus 5 psi. Then, the dieal thing is drive the vehicle with the gauge still hooked up by looping the hose through the rear of the hood by the wipers and when you are feeling the loss of power, view the fuel pressure reading and if it is withinnthe range I said, then your fuel pump is not your cause.Sonya 10/4/2012Thankyou, i did this and it reads 51 psi. Im getting codes 300,303,304,420,306,307 and 432. I was told maybe a problem with my transmission, because the hesitation when i step on the gas, but it has loss alot of power and kinda puts a little bit.
HouseCallAuto 10/4/2012You have a clogged catalytic converter assembly and the exhaust gases cannot escape. This will always cause multiple misfires and direct misfires and in some cases a catalytic converter efficiency code of which you have two of - the P0420 and the P0432. It is very safe to say that you should replace the catalytic converter ass'y (y-pipe) and at the same time, replace all the oxygen sensors. You problem will be gone. probability here is 100%.
Added note: in some cases the catalytic converter substrate breaks up and actually exits the converter shell and can become wedged in rear catalytic converter which does not go bad often. that being said, check for any loose broken pieces in the inlet of that converter after the y-pipe is removed and remove them of course with a shop vac with a small hose attachment.Sonya 12/17/2012Thanks again, I have now replaced all 8 plugs, 4 coil packs, the y pipe, the air filter and the 2 front o2 sensors. I still have no power? What else can i do?

NAS Report on Radon in Drinking Water
EPA is developing a regulation to protect public health by limiting radon in drinking water, as required by the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
A report released September 15, 1998, by the National Academy of Sciences is the most comprehensive accumulation of scientific data on the public health risks of radon in drinking water. The report, released September 15, 1998, was required by the Safe Drinking Water Act. An NAS report (BEIR VI) issued earlier this year confirmed that radon is a serious public health threat. This new report goes on to refine the risks of radon in drinking water and confirms that there are drinking water related cancer deaths, primarily due to lung cancer. The report in general confirms earlier EPA scientific conclusions and analyses for drinking water, and presents no major changes to EPA's 1994 risk assessment.
The Academy recommends a small reduction of the overall risk associated with radon in drinking water compared with previous EPA analyses. The Academy's recommendations are expected to be valuable inputs into the process of development of the regulatory limit (maximum contaminant level or MCL) for radon in drinking water, in combination with consideration of a variety of other factors. The Academy's review regarding multimedia mitigation provides some perspectives that may be of use to EPA as it drafts proposed guidelines for multimedia mitigation programs. As required by SDWA, the Agency is developing guidelines for state (and public water supply system) multimedia mitigation plans to be published along with the proposed maximum contaminant level (MCL) for public comment.
The Agency expects to publish a Health Risk Reduction and Cost Analysis for various MCL options for public comment in February 1999. A proposed regulation will be published for public comment by August 6, 1999 and the regulation will be promulgated in final form on August 6, 2000.
The Executive Summary of the NAS Report and initial EPA perspectives are available online:

This Is It?
15 comments:
Good to know! My future DIL and her parents are heading out to Ohio this morning and were worried about snow on the roads beyond Wisconsin. Rumor has it that states south of there haven't heard of snow plows! lol I was able to pass the word that the roads there won't be as bad as expected.ReplyDelete
I'm sorry that the snow didn't make it to you! Our yard looks beautiful - and I'm thankful for a white Christmas, I was afraid it wasn't going to happen.ReplyDelete
Much ado about nothing. As usual.ReplyDelete
We got cheated here in northern PA too...all the warnings and advisories, but just a coating of snow. There's talk of the chance for another storm for Christmas though!ReplyDelete
Yep. Your snow looks just like ours. What the heck?! I want a white Christmas :DReplyDelete
Merry Christmas to you anyway. I am now thinking we're gonna get one heck of a blizzard come early April...just as we'll be longing for the song of the birds :)
Greetings from wintery WI. We actually got 20"ReplyDelete
of snow here in Madison. I really was hoping for much ado about nothing. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year.
Melody :*)
well Kathy, we have over 22 inches of fresh snow since Thursday night and now its blowing like crazy and still coming down. The power has been out since some time yesterday over a wide area, so be careful what you wish for. We have a generator so we are fine and warm. Had our big turkey dinner early yesterday so lots of leftovers. But its a mess outdoors. A real old fashioned blizzard.ReplyDelete
I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan and it looks like we got even less snow that you did so not all of Michigan was a winter wonderland ;-(ReplyDelete
Yep Sue, I think you may be right. Lately it seems that our big winter snow days have moved to big spring snow days!! Merry Christmas !! Karen/IL.ReplyDelete
Today is a sunny day.Merry Christmas!!ReplyDelete
We got a few inches here in north central Ohio. Enough for some of the rural schools to be closed on Friday. It was very, very windy too -- when it got going, it looked like a blizzard. I'm sure people driving on the highways had a hard time seeing. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be calm. And the forecast for Monday and Tuesday had been good - but now they've changed it, and there's talk of freezing rain! :(ReplyDelete
Science - forecasting. We all think they work hand-in-hand but weather is just that...weather. I always think weather forecasters (particularly when it comes to storms) are always crying "wolf" but I'm afraid NOT to heed their warning for fear it will be the wolf. We had 8" in Iowa where I live but my son had 12" in Des Moines, IA. We had plenty of slushy ice before it turned to all snow and that's what really did a number on the power. One branch from my son's tree broke with the weight of the ice/snow and broke out a window; at least it didn't damage the whole wall. What we really want is a lovely snow to give us a white Christmas but not the stormy, blizzardly kind.ReplyDelete
That waaay more than we'll see in central Texas...just a bit on Christmas day would be lovely :(ReplyDelete
We don't get any snow where I live, so your snow looks wonderful LOL!!!! I think it's probably as much snow as I would like anyway, as I don't particularly like really cold weather!! It's a far cry from the heat and humidity we've been experiencing here Downunder, just hope Christmas Day will be tolerable......ReplyDelete
Wishing you and your family a wonderful and safe Christmas Kathy!!!!! BTW the patterns arrived day before yesterday, love them!, and look forward to getting a little more prepared for Christmas next year! All the best for 2013!
I'm in Western NY and we were all gloom and doom for the weekend as well - which amounted to about 2 or 3 inches instead of 14. We got another inch or 2 for Christmas but now they are giving similar predictions for tonight. I'm not holding my breath (in anticipation) this time...ReplyDelete
