Which is one of the reasons why we moved to where we are: we simply cannot be dealing with the snow, cold and gloom that we went through when we lived in Moscow (that's the one in Russia, not the one in Idaho). However, one of the little things about the world is that places which are generally warm are not always warm: thus the need for a <a href="http://www.outdora.com/lawn---garden-firewood-racks.html">firewood rack</a>.<br /><br />Yes, of course, this should be obvious, that while a climate may be warmer there is still the cycle of the seasons and so there will be times of year which are colder than others. And it's also true that when you move to such a warmer climate you adjust your expectations: what would be a balmy warm day to a northerner will have us shivering in our overcoats. So being in a "warm" place does not mean that one avoids the need for heating and thus <a href="http://www.outdora.com/lawn---garden-firewood-racks.html">log racks</a> and fireplaces and all the other accoutrements.<br /><br />But there is more to it than just this. If you're in a traditionally built house in such a warm area (as we are) then the house has been built to deal with the predominant weather: warm. Which means that when it turns cold, as it will do for some small part of the year, the house really isn't built for it at all. No one around here has central heating for example (and absolutely no one has AC) simply because that's not how the houses are built. Which means that we all have great cast iron stoves which we load up with wood for those couple of months of the year when it is cold: and thus the need for a <a href="http://www.outdora.com/lawn---garden-firewood-racks.html">firewood rack</a>. In fact, I just had a tonne of orange wood (from the orchard over the road) delivered and will be, when I've finished this, be loading up the rack with it.<br /><br />Flipping the central heating switch may be easier, but it's no where near as much fun.Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13614993.post-83728955874049394912009-11-04T10:35:00.000-08:002009-11-04T10:37:37.886-08:00Whadda girl!Hat's off everyone to <a href="http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-14795-Page-One-Examiner%7Ey2009m11d4-In-praise-of-Teanne-Harris-the-jilted-bride-with-a-heart-of-gold">Teanne Harris</a>.

For it is time in our renovation of this house and garden for us to be looking at <a href="http://www.outdora.com/patio---pool-furniture-conversation-sets.html">outdoor patio furniture</a>. And that means that we need to have both a large selection and great prices: all for the very best of quality of course.<br /><br />This is the thing about living in a warm climate: what you have as your <a href="http://www.outdora.com/patio---pool-furniture-conversation-sets.html">outdoor patio furniture</a> can actually be more important than what you have inside: for you're likely to spend longer outside than you are in. Who really worried all that much about what you sit on for 40 minutes watching the evening news: what you're going to use for hours as you sit outside is vastly more important. Thus the care with which I have been tasked with buying our outdoor patio furniture. Nothing must be allowed to go wrong, nothing must be allowed to damage this experience which is, after all, what we moved south for.<br /><br />Actually, the responsibility makes me slightly nervous: it would be better if she who must be obeyed would share the decision making (and thus any blame) but then I know I'm in good hands with my possible selections of <a href="http://www.outdora.com/patio---pool-furniture-conversation-sets.html">outdoor patio furniture</a>....something you can see by simply clicking through any of the links. I know I'm going to get the required price and quality, it's just the choice that's causing the problem.<br /><br />Is this what the economists call the paradox of choice? That too much choice of what I want makes me unhappy? Could be I suppose but I'm sure I'll get over it. Now then, which design do I want in which color?Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13614993.post-34163689548452042712009-09-02T04:03:00.000-07:002009-09-02T04:06:41.262-07:00Looking for the songs?Of course, lots of us love High School Musical. The two TV shows, the movie, I'm sure that tere are people already lining up to get tickets for the next movie which doesn't come out until next year.<br /><br /><br />But it does have to be said, doesn't it, that it's not so much the plot that excites.

While searching for Ringtones I found a very cool site. GoldRingtone.com is the best site to download <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">free ringtones</a> without restrictions. The information mail I received from the site says that the database is enriched with new <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">ringtones</a> every week. I decided to test it and download some ringtones (Rihanna’s Unfaithull is cool) and it works just fine.<br /><br />I have to notice that the site offers free <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com%3c/a">free MP3 Ringtones</a>, Real Tones, Midi Ringtones. Every carrier is available. Get <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">free Cingular Ringtones</a> and <a href="http://www.goldringtone.com/">free Sprint Ringtones</a>.<br /><br />Besides the site has an informative blog for mobile phones and a page dedicated to the famous Mosquito Ringtones. Do you know what a mosquito ringtone is? It is the new, cool weapon that children use in order to receive a call or an sms without being noticeable from the adults. This is due to the fact that the adults can’t hear some high frequency sounds.<br /><br />Well, I suppose that Goldringtone is the ideal site for someone who wants to download one or more free ringtones, easily.Tim Worstallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13614993.post-4925329038534435712007-03-18T08:59:00.001-07:002007-03-18T08:59:30.762-07:00Microsoft Live Search Bribes<p>It's official, even Microsoft thinks Live Search <a href="http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/10554/532/">sucks</a>:</p> <p><em>Unfortunately for some, Microsoft’s decision to pay companies money to switch their default search engine from Google, Yahoo or something is only companies can take advantage of, and not (as yet?) for individual users who would consider being paid to search with Windows Live Search. </em></p> <p><em>But if you’re a company with thousands of PCs installed, all using Windows, Microsoft’s new program is official, and there’s a golden opportunity to convert the searches your employees do on a daily basis into tens of thousands of dollars, or even more. </em> <p><em>Microsoft’s new program is called “Microsoft Service Credits for Web Search” and has been unveiled by </em><a href="http://battellemedia.com/archives/003447.php"><em>John Batelle’s ‘SearchBlog’</em></a><em>.

This has increased the rate of coastal erosion from Alaska to Siberia and caused problems for polar bears, which rely on sea ice for hunting seals.</em> <p><em>However, in recent years the rate of melting has accelerated and the sea ice is showing signs of not recovering even during the cold, dark months of the Arctic winter. This has led to even less sea ice at the start of the summer melting season.</em> <p><em>Mark Serreze, a senior glaciologist at the University of Colorado at Boulder, said the world was heading towards a situation where the Arctic will soon be almost totally ice-free during summer, which could have a dramatic impact on weather patterns across the northern hemisphere.</em> <p><em>"When the ice thins to a vulnerable state, the bottom will drop out and we may quickly move into a new, seasonally ice-free state of the Arctic," Dr Serreze said.</em> <p>Personally I think it's excellent.
