As Life Goes Digital

As we are getting ready for Commonwealth bank series from Feb 02' 2008. This is a good starting point to look at what happened in last year Commonwealth bank series. Its not that Australia wins all the series, Hope the upcoming India, Sri Lanka and Australia series will have such surprises.

The 2007 triangular series is played among Australia, New Zealand and England. Australia lost their home series cup after a span of 15 years to England in Commonwealth bank series 2007.

The finals are unforgettable for England and Collingwood. He is the players of the match for two finals.

For Australia they don't have Andrew Symmonds and Ponting was not in form.

Here are the two finals from youtube

I look forward eagerly to the post-holidays hopping season almost as much as I do Christmas day itself.

What's in the bag for Year 2007 after-Christmas , Year-End sales?

Consumers take advantage of one last chance to get some great deals, at the after-Christmas sales.After Christmas sales can be a great way to save money on things you would buy anyway, without paying full price.After-Christmas, Year-End, and Clearance sales are a great time get some good deals. Many electronics items are usually the first to go in an after-Christmas sale, so get to the store early the day after Christmas for the best chance of grabbing those products.The stats says typically we save 50% - the day after Christmas, progressing to 75% the week after, then up to 90% in January.Think ahead to upcoming birthdays as Toys are often greatly reduced post-holiday.

Keep hearing or reading this word Solastice i.e. December 21 or 22 is winter Solastice -- No it's not Pontiac's trendy solstice covertible car.The winter solstice marks the first day of the season of winter..Winter solstice for 2007 will occur in North America on December 21 or 22, depending on your time zone..Solstice, from the Latin for sun stands still,occurs twice a year, whenever Earth's axis tilts the most toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun to be farthest north or south at noon. The term solstice can also be used in a wider sense as the date (day) that such a passage happens.No one's really sure how long ago humans recognized the winter solstice and began heralding the day that marks the return of the sun. Many cultures the world over perform solstice ceremonies.The summer solstice marks the first day of the season of summer.The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, respectively, in the sense that the length of time elapsed between sunrise and sunset on this day is a maximum for the year. And in China, even though the calendar is based on the moon, the day of winter solstice is called Dong Zhi, "The Arrival of Winter.The early Germans built a stone altar to Hertha, or Bertha, goddess of domesticity and the home, during winter solstice.In Chicago, there are 15:02 hours of daylight on the summer solstice of June 21, 1999 and there are 9:20 hours of daylight on the winter solstice of December 22, 1999.
