I think I might just wait to celebrate when I see the evidence outside the door - though it is dry and fairoy bright just now ...............
Watered? Where are you living?
Never have we seen so much cleavers, goosegrass, johnny run by the hedge, sticky grass - as many names as there are. I even found a piece up in the golden hop, about 8 foot high, never had that before. Ir is certainly a very good year for it. Also in other countries, my sister in laws garden in the Netherlands is overun with it as well - must like the wet?
The weed control membrane is a good idea though, as it will keep the fruits clean - but the slugs crawl across it very easily - there are no really good answers to keeping strawberries completely untouched that I am aware of, maybe others know more. Netting and vigourous observation for ripeness and quick removal then seems to work best.
You can also chop or mince it and freeze with a litle water in ice cube trays, you might not want oil in all your dishes. Just throw as many cubes as you want into any dishes needfing garlic - that is, all of them! Well, maybe not jam tarts ..........
I was interested to read your question as mine are also more sparse than usual, though the leaves that are present are a very good colour. I'm inclined to blame wet and dry in the wrong seasons, plus dark and cold since April. i imagine they will recover, mine are abut the same age as yours so, with you, I shall await with interest to see if any experts know of any other reasons why this has happened.
Grass will always regrow once the weather changes - I cannot imagine how much money outdoor lamps and power would cost, but unless you are running a crown bowling green, I would recomment patience as the best medicine.
Stop now, many people say you should not pull after June, but most rhubarb was late this year because of the dark wet start to the year. Stop now, and give the plant the rest of the year to gather strength, mature its roots and dig down for the winter. It will then shoot up next year for more pies, crumbles, jam etc. yummy!
It very much depends why you are pruning? Are you wishing to contain a plant that is rather too big for its site? Do you want to encourage flowering and / or fruiting? Plants in the wild don't get pruned and they survive, so really, unless you go totally wild you can't kill anything with a bit of pruning. Indeed, to prune after flowering is a good rule, of thumb, knowing whether the plant does whatever you want it to do on new or old wood is a good idea, i cut off my lilac flowers for ages before i realised I was doing it too late - poor thing, i gave it all sorts of abuse because it didn't flower, and it was my fault. Stick to one set of guidelines, too many books will confuse you and then the plant - they are very forgiving, and want to grow, so any mistakes will correct themselves in due course.
The trouble with all the books we read, both old and new, is that the plants have read none of them, and will do exactly as they please when they please, and whenever they please. Most hardy geraniums benefit from a haircut in autumn, I've also known people to do it now to get young growth before the winter, looks good throughout then unless it gets frozen. in the end, provided you have not maybe overdone the nurturing and so on, it will just get on with it. i have many of these all over the garden, they are wonderful plants. Sometimes, as with many things, less is more, maybe leave it alone for a while? I believe it's only been in place 2 months? It hasn't had any chance to grow good roots to keep it well settled, it will, just give it time.

Doug Bowles may not be the only gay conductor in town, but in the genre of swing and big-band music, he's pretty sure he's one of only a few openly gay bandleaders in metropolitan Washington.
"I've played with many of these big bands and it's an overwhelmingly masculine, heterosexual art form," says the 41-year-old singer and pianist, who runs his company, the SingCo Rhythm Orchestra, out of Hyattsville.
Bowles is preparing to unveil his latest production, GI Jive! Letters from the War, a musical tribute to World War II veterans in the form of a 1946 radio broadcast, featuring popular music from the '20s, '30s and '40s, at Atlas Performing Arts Center as part of The In Series.
"The device that moves us forward in this play," explains Bowles, "is that this radio station that we're broadcasting from has been receiving letters from folks at home and also some of the boys and girls overseas during World War II.
"The letters are of my own devising," he continues. "They're fictional letters with fictional names attached to them." Inspiration came from interviews Bowles conducted with musicians and people who lived through World War II, a musical era the bandleader has been passionate about since he was a child growing up in Roanoke, Va.
"I remember as a little kid responding in a very sort of gut way to this music," he says. "I heard a little bit of the 'Rhapsody in Blue' in school when I was about 7, and it felt like home. It was like I knew this music even though I had never heard it before, like something I had lost and found again."
GI Jive! Letters from the War runs at 8 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 25, and Saturday, Jan. 26 ("Out at the In Series," featuring a post-show discussion and socializing), at Atlas Performing Arts Center, 1333 H St. NE. Tickets are $33 general admission. Call 202-315-1323 or visit www.inseries.org.

UF historian remembers Helms
Published: Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 6:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 6:49 a.m.
University of Florida history professor Bill Link said it's no surprise that his biography subject, U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, continues to cause controversy after his death.
"It's quite indicative of the man," he said. "He was a lightening rod for all kinds of things."
Helms died July 4 at the age of 86.
The North Carolina Republican served 30 years in a congressional career marked by his strident opposition to civil rights, foreign aid and modern art.
His death has brought obituaries and stories recalling that controversial history - including writer Christopher Hitchens calling him a "senile racist buffoon" in a piece on Salon.com.
Link's book, "Righteous Warrior: Jesse Helms and the Rise of Modern Conservatism," was published in February. He said researching the book showed him that Helms was more complicated than the caricature that sometimes appeared in the media.
"There's a tendency to see Jesse Helms as a kind of a dumb Southerner, and he wasn't," he said.
He said Helms was an innovator in using broadcast media, direct mail and other sophisticated techniques. Those techniques helped mobilize voters and raise money for conservative causes across the nation, he said.
"His major legacy is how important he was in moving the country to the right," he said.
Link spoke to more than 60 people in researching the book, although Helms was unavailable due to his poor health.
But he had access to archives that included transcripts of the 2,732 editorials that Helms did for television and his voluminous correspondence.
"He loved writing to people that hated him," Link said.
Helms was known as "Senator No" for holding up appointments, treaties and funding for causes he opposed such as AIDS research.
Link said Helms was more successful in opposing liberal initiatives than he was in passing legislation in support of conservative causes such as his opposition to abortion and support of school prayer.
"Those were all things that never went anywhere," he said.
Before coming to UF in 2004, Link spent 23 years at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
His time in the state included three of Helms' re-election campaigns, including bitterly fought races in 1984 and 1990.
Link said he never voted for Helms and separated his personal feelings from his work.
"He's not someone that I especially admired, but I'm also a professional historian," he said.

Immigration debate has crystallized around the 11 million
About 11 million people are central to one of the nation's most inflamed debates, one that is about to become forefront in Congress and the White House.
They are unauthorized immigrants living in the United States. Whether the federal government will allow them to stay legally — and under what conditions — is the centerpiece question of the country's most extensive immigration-reform effort in nearly three decades. The outcome of the impending legislative fight is being watched closely in San Diego County and other places with large immigrant populations.
President Barack Obama, who has said since fall that immigration would be a prime issue for his administration in 2013, discussed the topic with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Friday. He also plans to highlight his push for a comprehensive immigration bill during a Tuesday visit in Las Vegas and in his State of the Union address next month.
On Capitol Hill, a bipartisan group of six senators could this week release its blueprint for immigration reform, including how to deal with unauthorized immigrants residing in this country.
Obama and Congressional leaders agree that any residency provision for unauthorized immigrants would be accompanied by laws to boost border security, mandate immigration screenings for all job seekers and stiffen penalties for employers who skirt immigration rules. They also are weighing some changes to the system for legal immigration.
Polls show that an increasing majority of Americans would approve of permanent residency for unauthorized immigrants currently in this country — as long as they meet certain requirements. But there is considerable disagreement about offering U.S. citizenship, and even among those who favor doing so, no consensus has formed on how long applicants would have to wait.
The nation's last major immigration overhaul took place in 1986, when President Ronald Reagan and Congress granted amnesty to unauthorized immigrants who paid the designated fines, underwent background checks and met other conditions. More than 3 million people were legalized.
While the program also called for greater interior and border immigration enforcement, poor implementation and other shortcomings led to widespread criticism. Those failings have been blamed for the Congressional impasse in recent years on virtually all immigration measures, with critics saying any form of amnesty would invite more illegal immigration and that enforcement remains weak.
The November presidential election has altered much of that landscape.
Latinos were widely seen as a key voting bloc that helped Obama win re-election, and immigration is a top issue for them. In response, many GOP lawmakers now back some level of legalization for authorized immigrants living in the U.S.
Nationwide, liberal and conservative activists are lobbying to influence any resulting legislation.
"We have tried militarizing the border, we've tried interior enforcement. There is now consensus that deportations are not going to resolve the issue, and there has to be another way to tackle the status of those who are here to work," said Lynn Tramonte, deputy director of the America's Voice Education Fund in Washington, D.C., which advocates for comprehensive immigration reform. "There is momentum."
Steve Camarota at the Center for Immigration Studies, also in D.C., believes Americans will be less supportive when the immigration bills emerge in Congress, compared with their polling responses in recent weeks. When surveys offer only extreme options such as legalization versus mass deportation, he said, most respondents feel compelled to choose legalization.
"The public doesn't really want mass deportations or roundups, but it also doesn't want the illegal immigrants to stay," said Camarota, whose organization opposes any type of legalization for unauthorized immigrants. "What they want is sustained enforcement. If illegals could not get jobs or public benefits or free education, they would go home."

Low or No Cost Ways to Market Your Cleaning Business
It doesn't matter what a fantastic service your cleaning business provides if no one knows that you exist. If you are clever and motivated there are numerous ways to promote your business that don't have to cost a bundle. Here are just a few:
Always be prepared with an
"elevator speech". When you meet new people be ready to
talk about your cleaning business and its USP (unique selling proposition). Talk about the benefits you offer as
opposed to the services you provide.
Let people know how your services can solve their problems.
Set networking goals. When attending events, workshops
or meetings, don't sit by people you know.
The point is to meet new people. Make a goal of handing out five business
cards. If you want to be
interesting, be interested in others; get their business cards and ask questions
about their business.
Joining groups is another way to
promote your cleaning business. Every community has numerous
organizations, such as a chamber of commerce, Rotary, BNI (Business Network
International), that are excellent places to meet people and talk about what you
do. But don't join if you are not
going to participate. Simply being on a group's mailing list will not generate
sales or interest in your business.
A great way to meet people is to
volunteer in your community. Other volunteers will generally ask what
you do. Wearing a shirt with your
business name will be a reminder of the services you provide.
Teach a class through the local
community education program. Community education programs attract
people throughout your local service area.
It will help you make contacts and also establish you as an expert in
your field.
Ask people for
referrals. There is nothing wrong with asking your
current customers if they know of others who can use your services. In turn, you should be interested in
their company and be sure to promote them when the appropriate situation
Look for joint ventures and team
up with a business that compliments yours. As a cleaning company you may want to
work with a real estate agent, rental agency or apartment complex.
Write a press
announcing your new business, employee promotions, or attendance at industry
events or conferences. Most
newspapers have a business section and they are always looking for stories on
local businesses.
Direct mail
campaigns can be
effective as they can be targeted to a specific group. However, they can be expensive and you
may need to do repeat mailings before someone will contact you. Start out by using postcards or web
cards to let people know about your business, and then follow up with a phone
Do you send e-mail? Make sure to include a signature
line on your
e-mail that includes your business name, website (if you have one) and a line or
two about your business.
· Establish a website presence. Today people surf the web for information on almost all the products and services they buy. You can post a tremendous amount of information about your services, background and expertise on a website.
To effectively market your business requires some time and creativity, but it doesn't mean you need to spend a lot of money. Put your best foot forward by using the above tips and then adjust your marketing plan as your business grows.

Kerbero the Growlithe L38
Juliet the Roselia L38
Achilles the Heracross L38
Bones the Mandibuzz L38
Since today is Thursday I backtracked to Route 4 and caught the freebie Mandibuzz that flies around those parts. Weak Armor could be an interesting ability but Mandibuzz shouldn't be used as a sweeper. She has weak moves so she's not the easiest thing to train, but I wanted a Dark-type Pokémon and I happened to need a Flying Pokémon as well so why not? Good thing about her, though, is that she takes hits like a boss. Very difficult to kill. Unfortunately she also doesn't kill anything easily.
I beat Clay easily. Juliet killed Krokorok and Sandslash while Sasaki killed Excadrill. Not much to say here.
The PWT went smoothly as well, with Kerbero soloing most opponents with Flamethrower. Colress, thus, was a joke, since he has two Pokémon weak to Fire and one of them is very weak (Klink).
Got the freebie Deerling (soft resetted for female) and boxed it. Cleaned Mistralton Cave, went to Chargestone Cave, where Faraday evolved once more. Juliet learned Petal Dance but I won't evolve her until Kerbero is also ready to evolve. I arrived in Mistralton the moment it turned winter, so it was cool to see the hail falling over the city. I then came back to Route 4 to catch Bones, as I said, and trained her to match the rest of my team.
Next stop, Celestial Tower, and the gym, possibly.

I was just thinking about this. The CF logo in the upper left corner is nice, but there is a lot of whitespace in the middle of the top of the screen, at least when viewed on a desktop monitor, with the Google ads in the upper right. I realize that this space probably exists to meet the need of expanding/resizing browsers and portable devices. However, have you ever thought about making a real sharp, bad*** banner to extend across the top of the site? Some kind of Photoshop collage of current and former players, ISU campus, city of Ames, etc.? Lots of talented folks here might be able to chip in.
Just a thought. Discuss.
I've thought about it but I'm not terrific in Photoshop and I've yet to be able to make anything I thought looked clean and professional enough to put up there.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.

I agree, I just think something a little flashy might be nice. It doesn't need to be half the viewable page and shoot lights in your face like an exploding parrot, but something a little neat to jazz up the place visually might be a nice touch.

Wells Fargo's Reichardt: Right Man in Hard Times
Zuckerman, Sam, American Banker
SAN FRANCISCO -- Carl E. Reichardt's announcement that he will step down at yearend as Wells Fargo & Co.'s chairman and chief executive caps the career of a man who epitomized what it took to succeed in an era when banking got tough.
"Carl was clearly a pivotal figure in the banking business," said BankAmerica Corp. vice chairman Lewis W. Coleman, who worked with Mr. Reichardt at Wells.
The Texas native joined Wells in 1970 to manage its real estate investment trust. He took the top job 13 years later, when banking still had a patrician air and most executives believed the rules of the game were fixed and their markets protected.
But change was washing over the industry. Interest rate deregulation, interstate expansion, and the breakdown of barriers between banking-and other financial services were generating unprecedented levels of competition.
Carl Reichardt was the right executive for such a time.
Unsentimental, unmoved by precedent, tradition or status, and with his eyes glued to the bottom line, Mr. Reichardt coolly reexamined the industry's most basic assumptions. Nothing was sacred, not even Wells' status as a bank company: Last year, he explored converting Wells to a thrift charter to see if such a move would let him sell more products to customers.
"He put a discipline in the industry. that had largely been missing," said CS First Boston's Thomas H. Hanley.
The principles that Mr. Reichardt championed are not complicated; most are basic, sound business practices.
"I've never been a banker - I'm a businessman," Wells' chief declared in a conversation with reporters on Tuesday.
Lean, Mean, and Ugly
Mr. Reichardt was not an easy boss. He demanded results and those who did not produce could count on being shown the exit. "I don't apologize for my shareholder approach," he said.
He made Wells Fargo the lowest-cost banking institution in its market by slashing jobs, automating and centralizing operations, and setting strict spending limits. …

Discussions ranging from tourism to energy issues are scheduled for the Southern Governors' Association's annual meeting, which is scheduled to take place today through Tuesday at the posh Reynolds Plantation near Greensboro.
As this year's chairman of the association, which represents 16 states as well as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Gov. Sonny Perdue had pick of the summit's location.
This is the 71st annual meeting, but the first time since 1988 it has been held in Georgia.
Perdue also chose a policy issue for the group to focus on throughout the year. His emphasis on heritage tourism and how the states can work better in promoting historic and cultural sites in the South will be hit on again during the meeting.
"Travelers from around the world are beginning to want more interesting and historic activities in their vacations," said Heather Hedrick, Perdue's press secretary. "We see those examples in historic locations in Savannah, visitors to remnants of Native American culture in northwest Georgia, visitors to Atlanta who want to see civil rights movement historic sites."
As of Friday, nine other governors had registered to attend and enjoy the accommodations of the Ritz-Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation.
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco will take over as the group's chairwoman at the end of the conference and is slated to discuss an education initiative focusing on improving rural schools.
Georgia state officials working on the meeting said cost estimates for the four-day gathering has not been finalized but previous ones have cost between $350,000 and $450,000.
The meetings are funded through registration fees and corporate sponsorships.
"The SGA handles all the billing and logistics," Hedrick said.
About 600 people, including governors' staff members, sponsor representatives and academic experts are signed up to attend.

Joba Chamberlain continues to disgrace the game of baseball with wild celebration antics
- Updated: May 12, 2010
The portly Yankee reliever has aptly nicknamed this latest disgusting celebration, "Surfin' on Styles Van."
11 Comments
It's funny because the Spankees were crying about another pitcher doing the same sort of "emoting" that Joba has done to dozens of teams.
The Yankees were crying about this? Source, please.
The Yankees were not crying about this. They were crying about not being able to hit off him. Fans might be a different story, but the players had no problem with it.
And it's not just the two of them, but Valverde does look like he's pinching off a vicious loaf on the mound in that pic.
He's funny.. Thanks for the youtube link 🙂
My apologies, I left out the word "fans." No Yankees player that I'm aware of has publicly complained about it, but the Yankees fans damn near had mass embolisms.
Did A-Rod walk on the pitching mound again?
yea but valverde shit himself after the 1st out of the inning.
Not sure, I'm still guessing.
There is quite a difference between pumping your fist like many players such as Joba do and whatever this celebration that he thought of all winter and practiced it every night. the guy looked like a douche.
Joba has a nice tan.

United States V. Virginia's New Gender Equal Protection Analysis with Ramifications for Pregnancy, Parenting, and Title VII
Kovacic-Fleischer, Candace Saari, Vanderbilt Law Review
Candace Saari Kovacic-Fleischer*
The United States challenged Virginia Military Institute's ("VMI") male-only admissions policy in United States v. Virginia,l the latest gender equal protection case to reach the Supreme Court. The opinion, written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is remarkable in several ways. It balances two debated viewpoints for achieving gender equality: whether governmental policies should provide equal treatment or equal results for men and women. It achieves this balance by requiring VMI to admit only capable women and, where necessary, to make adjustments and alterations to facilitate their admission. United States v. Virginia's balance between the different approaches for achieving equality appears to raise gender equal protection analysis to the level of strict scrutiny and to alter constitutional disparate impact analysis. In addition, the Court's citation to a Title VII2 pregnancy leave case can be read both to apply Title VII's pregnancy analysis to the Constitution and to require the application of United States v. Virginia's institutional redesign for equality analysis to Title VII pregnancy and parenting cases. These developments could have significant ramifications for governmental and workplace policies.
Part II of this Article briefly describes both the VMI litigation and some of the viewpoints of policymakers and scholars with respect to gender equality and policies affecting reproduction and parenting. to gender equality and policies affecting reproduction and parenting. Part II then analyzes how United States v. Virginia balances viewpoints for achieving equality by requiring VMI to admit women who can succeed in its demanding environment, while at the same time requiring it to make changes to accommodate "celebrated" differences between men and women with respect to physical strength and privacy. This Part explains that requiring institutional accommodations for "celebrated" differences neither denigrates women nor makes them appear to be the "inferior" sex. These mandated institutional changes do not "lower standards" for women; rather, in order to maximize the talents of both genders they redesign standards that were initially, and unnecessarily, established only for men.
Part III analyzes how the requirement of institutional redesign changes gender equal protection analysis. This Part describes current midtier gender equal protection analysis and United States v. Virginia's departure from that analysis. The new analysis resembles both Title VII and strict scrutiny constitutional cases, and calls into question the continuing validity of some prior gender equal protection cases. This Part further describes how United States v. Virginia's reliance upon remedial racial equal protection cases is consistent with heightened gender equal protection scrutiny.
Part IV asserts that United States v. Virginia effectively overrules Geduldig v. Aiello,3 the Supreme Court case holding that pregnancy discrimination is not necessarily sex discrimination per se under the Fourteenth Amendment.4 The conclusion that pregnancy discrimination is now viewed as sex discrimination under the Constitution follows from the Court's reasoning that the Fourteenth Amendment is violated when "some women" are discriminated against and from the Court's citation to California Federal Savings & Loan Association v. Guerra,5 a Title VII pregnancy leave case. Part IV further asserts that United States v. Virginia's institutional alteration analysis can be applied to Title VII. This result also follows from the Court's citation to Guerra, and because pregnancy can be compared to the physical gender characteristic of strength addressed by the VMI case. This would require employers to provide expectant mothers with paid leave so that they can retain their jobs and pay, just as expectant fathers do when their children are born.
Part IV asserts, by analogizing parenting to privacy, both of which are based on a combination of physical differences between the sexes and social norms, that the institutional alteration analysis of United States v. …

Donations made to the veterans memorial at Proctor Park in New Whiteland.
Patriot Tactical, a military supply company, will match up to $2,500 of sponsorship donations made before the Sept. 27 dedication ceremony at the park.
The company already has donated $1,000. Patriot Tactical also is donating several silent auction items for the event and will have a table set up during registration for the Welcome Home Ride fundraiser from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 27 at Southside Harley-Davidson. Items include infrared scopes and shotguns.
Anyone who makes a donation of $250 or more until Sept. 1 will have his or her name or company name on the T-shirts for the ride. Patrons can purchase yard signs for $25, which will be displayed at both the Otte Golf Family Fun Day on Sept. 14 and the ceremony on Sept. 27.
So far, organizers have raised nearly $22,000 for the park's memorial, plus an additional $2,000 in funding through the Johnson County Community Foundation.
The fundraising goal is $30,000, and if donations exceed that amount, the additional money will go toward improvements at Proctor Park, including lighting and other amenities.

These sorts of posts lack of bit of sizzle when we have no idea of your location. You can't be in the heart of snow country, otherwise you wouldn't be worrying about potholes even after a plow job. Inquiring minds want to know.

Chicago suburb. Our streets are always salted so it would never be able to pack in to the potholes. There was probably 3 in. before the plows. Not many cars had gone through yet. I'm new to riding in the snow. That's why I enjoyed it so much.
Here in the DC area, if you're riding when the afternoon thaw gives the plow drivers a chance to clear the roads, be ready for a blast of brown freezing slush down the back of your neck as they pass. I was out on my MTB during a recent afternoon snowfall...don't ask me how I know the rest.
3" w/o ice would be fun, 'specially if it's fluffy dry snow
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
"Plow Job" huh...
I'm so slow I met myself yesterday...
We're having a snow day here in the Midwest! Well it would be a snow day if I worked... being old and retired ruins being snowed in. I think the things I miss most about no longer having a job are.... snow days, holidays, sick days, and vacations.
I bought an older mountain bike this last summer for winter cycling.... and I've used and enjoyed it. But I've found the icy roads a little more dangerous than I had expected. The big knobby tires just don't keep me from slipping and sliding. Is there something I am doing wrong?
I got a cyclocross bike for Christmas with the intent on using it for winter riding. I live in VA but spent a lot of time in the NE Ohio area. Rode on Monday when the roads were wet but clear. Found out that cold salt water can, almost literally, freeze your butt off if enough sprays on it. Got a fender on New Year's Eve with hope of riding yesterday. Snow was largely packed but enough ice/thaw under it that riding really wasn't safe. Ended up on the trainer (sigh). More snow coming down now - hope roads are clear by Saturday - really itching to get outside.
I will check CL (and local yards sales if it takes till spring) to find me a really cheap mtn bike with compatible wheels (to my mtn bike) with decent tires. I should be able to pick-up a cheap one (maybe with problems) for almost nothing. That would give me both tires and wheels to convert (with screws) to studded.
Snow and Ice was Last Year, so far the rest of it is deposited well above sealevel.
I abandoned my commute today.
The conditions were poor, traffic was high (don't those people know enough to stay home?) and the weather was supposed to go from bad to worse. Went about 3/4s of a mile before turning around.
So on the first workday of the year, I already blew a day's worth of carryover vacation time.
Looking outside now, indeed the weather has gone from bad to worse. I'd have been coming home in snow and headwinds of 20-30 mph, in single digits. Instead, I think I'll take a nap.
Grew up in Canada so a big fan of the metric system. Except hectares - never got that one - of course I'm not too good with acres so probably doesn't matter. But I remember in Mr. Beer's chemistry classes creating salt water slush to check the freezing point. Let's just say that the lesson finally hit home on Monday.
Even though I do bicycle in the off-season... I spend less time cycling. I've been using my extra time to do a bit more weight training. Mostly upper body and core.
Today, here in Maine I ventured out in a snowstorm to do a few errands (in the car of course). As I turned the corner I saw the head of a cyclist bobbing up and down through the wind, the blowing snow and pedaling uphill!
When I saw the bike it had tires that looked like they had 4 inch wide treads. Don't know whether they had studs too but must have had. We got a lot of ice and now this fluffy snow on top of it. Amazed that he had the traction, and of course, the courage (or insanity) to go out on a day like this. Temps in the low single numbers (don't know what the wind chill factor is).

2012 was a difficult year for Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa as she had to wage a legal battle with Karnataka on the Cauvery issue and face criticism for long powercuts in the state from all quarters including arch-rival DMK, which itself was beset with internal squabbles.
Fighting against the odds, she unveiled a grand vision document promising to make the state 'numero uno' by 2023 and announced a slew of sops.
A firm grip over power aided by a fragmented Opposition notwithstanding, she faced an uphill task on the Cauvery issue and secure more power to tide over the crisis.
With standing Samba crop in Cauvery delta region withering, Jayalalithaa kept knocking at the doors of Supreme Court to get the state's share of Cauvery water which expressed its helplessness. The apex court, however, came to the rescue of Tamil Nadu by directing Karnataka to release some water with farmers and political leaders in Karnataka strongly resisting and farmers in Tamil Nadu demanding more.
Jayalalithaa announced series of welfare measures, most of them free of cost, and a promise to provide good governance, but power shortage became a major irritant for her 18-month old regime, with DMK chief M Karunanidhi terming it as a dark rule in the wake of long power cuts and other issues.
Jayalalithaa shot off letters to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on regular basis over a variety of issues including Cauvery dispute, the attack on Tamil Nadu fishermen, training of Sri Lankan defence personnel by India and power issue among others.
Her flip-flop on the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant, which was to have gone on steam last year itself but has been delayed, also came in for criticism.
For the second year in a row since its drubbing in last year's polls, DMK had to confront with internal politics, something not too common in the party.
Supporters of Karunanidhi's sons Alagiri and Stalin were involved in an altercation at a meeting in Madurai, prompting the 88-year-old patriarch to convene a meeting for truce.
With the sons involved in a reported race for supremacy in party ranks, Karunanidhi seemed to favour his younger son, the Chennai-based Stalin, giving some hints about succession.
There were fissures too in the seven-year-old DMDK, founded by actor Vijayakant, with four of his MLAs calling on AIADMK supremo under the pretext of taking up constituency-related issues. Members of rival parties calling on heads of opposite camps is not a common

US officials: More nonlethal aid to Syrian rebels
ISTANBUL As the U.S. prepares to provide far more nonlethal aid to opposition forces in Syria, the regime of President Bashar Assad faces a new threat from European nations that could determine whether a stronger international intervention might be attempted.
The European Union arms embargo may be allowed to expire at the end of May or modified to only block weapons that are headed to Assad's government. Either course could be only steps away from supplying the rebels with arms.
Assad's reaction to the increase in pressure would be tested and might lead to stronger international action in the effort to persuade him to step down.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in Turkey, where he's expected to announce plans to give opposition forces up to $130 million in defensive military supplies - possibly including body armor, armored vehicles, night vision goggles and advanced communications equipment. U.S. officials said exactly what is given, and how much it will cost, will be determined Saturday at a meeting in Istanbul of the Syrian opposition leadership and their main international allies that Kerry will attend.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss Kerry's announcement publicly.
On Thursday, Kerry said the conference aims to get the opposition and all prospective donors "on the same page" with how Syria will be governed if and when Assad leaves power or is toppled.
"The hope is that that will then create a confidence level about who is getting what kind of aid from whom," he told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
With Syria's civil war in its third year, the U.S. and its European and Arab allies are struggling to find ways to stem the violence that, according to the United Nations, has killed more than 70,000 people. Despite international pressure, Assad has managed to retain power far longer than the Obama administration expected.
"We need to change President Assad's calculation, that is clear," Kerry said. He said the government's survival largely depends on the continued support it gets from Iran, its proxy Hezbollah, and Russia.
"That equation somehow has to change," Kerry said.
He said boosting the size and scope of nonlethal assistance to the rebels is one way to convince Assad that he must go.
Despite pressure from Congress and even advisers within his own administration, President Barack Obama has said he has no plans to send weapons or give lethal aid to the rebels.
Instead, the U.S. has been shipping food and medical supplies directly to the Free Syrian Army since February and later expanded the aid to include defensive military equipment. So far, the U.S. has provided an estimated $117 million in nonlethal aid to the Syrian opposition, said White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of the top Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee, renewed his call Thursday for U.S. military action in Syria, including airstrikes on government aircraft and weapons but not sending in American soldiers. He said the steps he recommends would give moderate and secular opposition forces a better chance to succeed without having to depend on extremist groups that are supporting the rebels.
"Do the costs of inaction outweigh the costs of action? I believe they do," McCain said at the Center for a New American Security in Washington. "And as much as I hate war and wish to avoid it, I believe this conflict will grind on with all of its worsening effects until the balance of power shifts more decisively against Assad."
The U.S. is not opposed to other countries arming the rebels - provided there are assurances the weapons do not get to extremist groups that have gained ground in the conflict.

In the closing minute of a close game, it came down to a big 3-pointer and free throws.
Morristown's Kyle Burton hit the go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute, then the Yellow Jackets' Ty Streeval, a 90 percent foul shooter, sank four straight free throws in the final 29 seconds to secure a 55-50 comeback win against tournament-host Edinburgh on Tuesday night in a first-round
Class A sectional game.
Edinburgh, meanwhile, immediately began thinking about next season. The Lancers (12-8) lose only one senior to graduation and are confident of a bright future.
"We've been in so many close games this season, but the kind of experience we are gaining is giving us something to look forward to," said fourth-year Edinburgh coach Drew Glentzer.
"This was just one of those things where we came up short. It's hard to win.
"There are so many teams that can get you. They're all dangerous because they all have different styles to play against."
In a back-and-forth contest from start to finish, the game between the Mid-Hoosier Conference rivals was tied eight times and had 12 lead changes.
Edinburgh jumped out to a 15-8 lead at the end of the first quarter, using good ball movement on the perimeter while taking care of the basketball on each offensive possession.
The Lancers increased their lead to 19-10 on the shooting of sophomore guards Collin Hoskins and Kyle Pendleton, who had 10 and nine
points, respectively, at halftime.
Their effort helped the Lancers withstand an 11-0 Morristown run in the second period and hang on for a 23-21 halftime advantage.
Morristown's 6-foot-6 senior center Andrew Shepherdson was held scoreless in the first quarter, got loose down low with Edinburgh senior Dakota Sneed on the bench with two personal fouls.
In the second half, the Yellow Jackets got a big lift from 6-foot-6 senior center Andrew Shepherdson. Following a scoreless first quarter, he scored eight of his team-high 14 points in the final two quarters.
Shepherdson connected on all seven of his field-goal attempts before fouling out with 2:47 to play.
"He really hurt us in our regular-season game, but I thought we did a good job of rotating our guards toward him and doubling him when needed," Glentzer said.
Pendleton knocked down three 3-pointers in the third quarter to give Edinburgh a 33-29 lead with just over four minutes left in the period.
However, the Yellow Jackets finished with a flurry at the end of the period with a layup by Shepherdson and a 3-pointer by senior Kyle Hallauer to give Morristown a 39-38 edge.
After a few more lead changes, the teams drew to a 50-all tie with 29 seconds to play. Streeval put the Yellow Jackets up for good by closing out the game with five free throws.
Streeval finished with 12 points.
For the game, Morristown (12-9) shot 57 percent, connecting on 20 of 35 from the field, including six 3-pointers and 9 of 12 at the stripe
Edinburgh, meanwhile, hit 18 of 49 from the field for 36.7 percent, including a dismal 5 for 20 from outside the arc and 9 of 15 free throws.
Pendleton, who came off the bench, had a game-high 21 points for the Lancers, including five 3-pointers. Hoskins added 15 and a game-high nine rebounds.
With the loss of only one senior, center Dakota Sneed, the Lancers are confident of making a deeper run next season.
"We've come a long way with this group," Glentzer said. "We'll get in the weight room and make some improvements with our skill sets.
"When you're getting 90 percent of your scoring back, I like our odds."
