We had a lovely stay at the Land's End Inn! Stayed in the Library room, and it was just fantastic. beautiful views, and very a giant, very comfortable bed. The innkeepers are all warm and welcoming, and very helpful. They told us about the best places to go eat this time of year. We can't wait to come back to the Land's End!

Land's End Inn is all that and more. There is an elegance that cannot be denied about the entire inn, from the grounds to the oh so comfortable great room. Wine and cheese in the evening, continental breakfast in the morning. The regular rooms are cozy, as in most inns, but impeccably decorated. Spent an hour on the deck this AM with breakfast and never wanted to leave. One tiny thought - if you are the joining in types then grab a room on the great room floor as during wine and cheese time there's a gathering there. If you prefer more quiet privacy, perhaps ask for something away from the great room. Something for everyone. Leave the kids at home and have a get away!

- " The location of this hostel is great. The MRT stop is just a few feet next to the hostel. The only problems I had with the hostel is that the power went out on the first floor, so the wifi was down. Additionally, there was no one at the front desk for me to check out. There was a sign that said to call a number in case no one was at the desk. However, since the power was down the phone was not working so I had to call from my cell phone. "

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add green zucchini, half the scallions, half the garlic, A teaspoon marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until zucchini has softened and is beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
Rinse skillet; repeat process with yellow zucchini and remaining teaspoon olive oil, scallions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to bowl with cooked green zucchini; let sit until cooled. Drain and discard any liquid.
Add dill, parsley, and eggs to zucchini; stir to combine. Pour into a 9 1/2-inch round, deep baking dish. Cover with tomato; sprinkle with feta. Bake until set, about 1 hour. Serve hot or at room temperature.
This was a pretty good recipe. I didn't like the dill too much... the dill with the combination of the zucchini made it seem like I was eating pickles! Although it was bearable, next time I will omit the dill. I also cooked it a bit longer than stated, and I added some mushrooms and just used 7 whole eggs instead. Don't be afraid of whole eggs, guys - they are healthy and good for you!Reply
My kids don't like feta. What can I use instead?Reply
Where is the nutrition information?Reply
this thing kicks ass!
don't fear the dill!!!
I found with fresh dill that it wasn't overpowering and more hardly noticable... overall my daughter and I loved it. I did have to cook it for a bit longer then stated though.Reply
TOO MUCH DILL = GROSSReply
TOO MUCH DILL = GROSS!Reply
Great for a brunch dish and easy to make!Reply
This is so yummy and a great way to use tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and herbs from the garden all at once! I didn't have any marjoram, but used basil and chives and it was delicious! I loved that it used egg whites to cut down on cholesterol and fat.Reply
Wow! This was amazing and really easy to make. DELICIOUS!!!!Reply

After participating in class discussion this week, especially with our pop quiz, I knew that I would end up writing about Occupy Wall Street as a social movement, and particularly about how Facebook and social media have contributed to the cause that has been making national headlines for the last couple months.
For those that don't know, Occupy Wall Street is a growing movement of protests across the nation where the "99%" are protesting against the richest 1% of the nation, which the movement's unofficial de facto website claims is "writing the rules of an unfair global economy that is foreclosing on our future" (http://occupywallst.org/about/). Protestors have held signs with everything from "We are the 99%" written on them to absurd sayings and nonsensical quips that have just worked to gather attention for the movement. Even though many would argue that Occupy Wall Street has very few specific goals or just vague demands overall, the movement is mainly protesting for a change to the culture of corrupt power of multinational corporations and giant banks that have concentrated wealth among a very small 1% while millions of others are living in poverty, jobless, or both.
Without any true political leaders within Congress (especially since Congressmen are mostly included in the 1%), the movement has relied on using platforms in the public forum, particularly that of social media. Inspired by the youth revolutions in Egypt and Libya, which utilized Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and tumblr to spread messages, coordinate protests, and fuel the fire behind the movement, Occupy Wall Street has done the same thing. I even remember seeing the first call for Bank Transfer Day some months ago on my own Facebook page — I was invited over a month before I had even heard of Occupy Wall Street.
However, summary aside, Occupy Wall Street as a movement has become the poster child not only for social change during these times, but it is also the poster child for the way that social media is becoming the main vehicle for communicating messages of social change and fueling the fire for the uprisings and rebellions that have led to so much social change in the recent past.
For example, it's clear that the use of Facebook in Egypt and Libya was instrumental in the overthrow of the governments in those nations. By coordinating widespread communication among the younger, tech-savvy generations, social media acted as a sort of catalyst for the emotions that were residing within so many oppressed citizens of these nations, leading to the culmination, rebellion, and revolutionary movement, as I would classify it, that led to the overthrow of the ruling powers. This success, as suggested by both the wired.com article and Occupy site, has carried over to Occupy Wall Street and its current work, as social media has been instrumental in advancing and developing this social movement.
The use of Facebook, Twitter, and the "We Are the 99 Percent" tumblr has allowed Occupy Wall Street to progress through multiple levels of social movement. According to our textbook by Conley, it could be argued that OWS was in the emergence stage when the first activists founding the movement began expressing discontent with the "1%." However, I think that without the likes of Facebook and other social media, the movement would've had serious trouble getting off its feet for two reasons — 1. the movement was vague enough that it wouldn't have been able to gain momentum without the easy mode of dissemination available through Facebook and 2. Facebook and social media are now perhaps the most common and easy way to spread information, so almost any movement would be advanced by Facebook during these times. The support Facebook has given to OWS has moved it from emergence to coalescence, since the coordination available through Facebook has led to mobilization of resources and concrete action, which in this case is protesters "occupying" common areas and protesting.
I would argue that Facebook and social media could lead to the routinization or institutionalization of the movement, but unfortunately the methods used by OWS aren't legitimate enough to stand on their own. Illegal loitering in parks isn't akin to the sit-in strikes and marches of the Civil Rights Movement, so illegitimacy could undermine the whole movement after awhile.
Nevertheless, OWS ubiquitous nature thanks to the use of Facebook, Twitter, and other social media has brought it to the attention of national media, which I believe was the original intent of the movement. Since so many protestors made vague demands or didn't even know what they were demanding, but rather only that they weren't satisfied with the current economy, getting this sort of attention and putting the "1%" might be victory enough, as it might also be for the effectiveness of social media in social movements.

Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I attended Aliiolani Elementary School in the 50's and thought of my former schools after I retired in 2001 to see how I could help this school inspire the students to learn. I informed the school's principal that a sundial might be a solution to inspire our younger minds to look up into the sky because this is where their future will be. I later found out that the principal was transferred to Wm. Paul Jarrett Intermediate School and the PTA were discussing the cost of building it. I don't know if they ever built it but it was their loss if it was not built. Many do not know that two of the Mars rovers has sundials that are mounted on them so when a picture is taken it can tell what time it was. I read somewhere that a local boy designed that sundial after he attended a mainland school. I would encourage everyone to see the NORTH AMERICAN SUNDIAL SOCIETY registry and see the 28 foot sundial in Hawaii. Many local islanders don't know it's located in Pearl City.
Ali'iolani Elementary was my school and it was the BEST elementary school EVER!!! The teachers are strict but only bescause they want you to succeed in all that you do. They are very understanding and they have a reading program that helps the student read more frequently. It's called AR. You read a book and then take a test online for it and you get graded for it. It's really helpful. They have the best teacher/staff there everyone is friendly
Principle, teachers and assistants are great! Good environment. PTA members and childrens are good too.
I think the teachers are great! They really focus on the kids and their ability to learn. Great environment, the Principal is a great leader, he encourages his staff to excel and enhance the learning experience at this school. With the kind of resources they receive, they do a great job in teaching and developing our kids. Facilities could be better, the state should invest more money in this school.

Topic - Everest Region December - Snow, Passes, Flights?
BruceM - on 31 Jan 2013
A few questions re December in the Khumbu that I can't find answers to via web searches:
1. What exactly is it that may "close" passes (such as Cho-la, Kongma-la) in Dec? Is it deep snow making progress impossible, avalanche risk, difficulty finding routes, crevassed glaciers covered in powder, or the fact that people don't usually have crampons/axe and are walking in light footwear? I appreciate some lodges may be closed that may make trips very long. But, also, I'm sure there are no snowgates there or cops with blue lights :)
2. If passes are closed, is that IT for the winter? Or is it just a few days or a week they might be out of action?
3. Do Lukla flights wind-down around the western holiday 25/26 Dec, or is it business as usual. eg. can you fly on 25 Dec as if any other day?
4. If you were aiming to be there late Nov and most/all of Dec maybe into Jan, and wanted to explore scramble peaks and passes etc. but were still very flexible with dates, would it generally be better to plan to be there as early as possible, or is +/- a week or two not that critical? In other words, all around that time of year unfavourable conditions could occur at any time?
This will all be trivia to those in the know.
Many thanks.

With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Although the Sony Xperia M2 looks pretty slick, it's let down by its low resolution display and its old version of Android, which makes even its affordable price way too high. For much less money, you could snap up the Moto G or spend a little more and pick up the older Xperia Z with its full HD display and waterproof design.
The Xperia E3 is a good looking phone, with a colourful body -- and it'll apparently be the most affordable Xperia phone to date.

"The invite itself was adorable the envelopes not so much. They are were stuck on the inside and so invite only went in so far. Looked kinda funky!"
"Cute, cute! Superior quality and current design make this one a joy to send to invitees! Thank you Tiny Prints for this wonderful product. Speedy response & delivery are your standard."
"This invitation was perfect for our shower since we weren't allowed to reveal the gender of the baby. My fellow party planners and I loved the whimsical look and all the hearts--they serve as a perfect reminder of all the love that went into preparing for this baby and all the love that will go into raising this baby. We also like the different fonts used to communicate information and the large heart used to indicate the date of the shower. If there's one flaw with this design, it's that the font on the very last line stating where the mom is registered is too small. My eyes are pretty good, but I still have to squint!"
"I usually prefer to make handmade invitations and was searching online for design ideas when I came across this site. I absolutely LOVED this design, and decided to order these instead of making some. I was nervous ordering them online without actually seeing them (yes, I could have ordered a sample but as usual I procrastinated and didn't have time for that!) When they arrived I was very pleased! They were even cuter in person, great quality, heavy card stock. They were also delivered very quickly. I'm glad that I ordered them! BTW...I ordered these for my very first grandbaby that is due this summer:)"
"I love this invitation! I got tons of compliments from guests on how classy and pretty it was. Totally recommend this product."

I've said it time after time that I'm not the brightest light bulb in the house nor the sharpest tack in the drawer, and have yet to receive an argument to the contrary. I suppose that proves that you good folks really believe me when I tell you something.
Well, I've got something else to tell you, and I ain't none too happy 'bout it. You won't be happy 'bout it either 'cause it involves money that came out of your pocket. I read this a couple years ago, and it's bothered me ever since.

Because of its central U.S. location, the weather in Kentucky is typically mild and moderate no matter what time of year you visit.
The weather in Kentucky cycles through all four distinct seasons, with warm summers and moderately cold winters. The daytime temperature during the summer averages 87 degrees. Conversely, the winter lows average around 23 degrees.
Spring and fall are arguably Kentucky's most weather-popular seasons. In spring, Kentucky awakens with color and liveliness. The state's legendary bluegrass fields glow brightly, and spring foals can be seen making their first runs in Kentucky's Horse Country. Springtime Kentucky weather is also great for enjoying the state's many outdoor attractions, horse racing, bourbon tours and caving adventures.
During the fall, the weather in Kentucky brings about even more color. The first shades of yellow, red, and orange foliage can be spotted as early as mid to late September in some areas of the state, with a statewide peak somewhere around mid-October. Kentucky's Appalachian Mountain region perhaps offer the best balance of scenery and color.
Check local Kentucky weather conditions and forecasts.

The Download: Elna Frederick
Still from Art Gallery
This month The Download features Elna Frederick's screensaver triptych Birth, Art Gallery, Death (2012).
Birth, Art Gallery, Death is a minimalist triptych in the form of a screensaver package. With white as life and black as death, each screen saver panel marks a stage in the cycle of consciousness. Birth is the genesis of consciousness through a birth canal of white arriving out of darkness. Art Gallery, where black is conspicuously absent, is the finite enclosure of a lifetime. Its contents are the thoughts and creations arising in consciousness; representations of life. Death, represented by black slowly descending upon a white screen, is ultimately a representation of life.

The Download: James Howard
Rhizome is pleased to announce London-based artist James Howard is featured this month on The Download.
Still from www.luckyluckydice.com (2012)
Utilizing spam that lands in his junk email folder and pop up ads, Howard appropriates the deceitful images and text in his collages highlighting the emotional tiggers that trap users. Rhizome members can download www.luckyluckydice.com (2012), a 51MB animated GIF of 1990s internet-style advertisments; a file size too large for dial-up speeds, but now easily viewable in any internet browser once downloaded. Rhizome editor Joanne McNeil interviewed him last year about the images he collects:
Images in online scams and phishing schemes can seem as artificially generated as the text — like botnet generated folk art. But there is a human hand at work. What do you think is the human element that draws people into these schemes?
People are like machines - their brains react to temptation like a computer does. Most people are able to recognise a scam, but if someone pulls the right string, sooner or later all that subconscious stuff inside you is going to lead you down the wrong path. Scams get people by playing on insecurities, desires, fears, greed, whatever - it's uncontrollable and causes one in a thousand people to make a snap decision and pay up.
What do you consider the visual clues of this kind of kitsch of deception? Any interesting patterns or trends you've spotted over the years of collecting examples?
Squashed grinning businessmen looking into fisheye lenses, sunsets over serene oceans, happy families, sexy nurses- it's an endless and totally recognisable global visual language. There's a gruesome image of someone hooked up to a life support machine that keeps landing in my junk-mail folder these days -it always comes from a new person, with ...

Rick Silva's La Région Decentralized is featured this month on The Download.
Still from La Région Decentralized, image courtesy of the artist
Working with nature and land feels natural to me. Nature and land are part of a larger fascination I have with perception, light, and time. I do spend a lot of time outdoors, my new project/blog En plein air http://enpleinair.org is all about that actually. For the project I'm taking my laptop outside and seeing what I can create while reacting to the immediate landscape and elements.
I'm interested in Snow's use of a rotating camera/horizon. Spinning terrains are a reoccurring theme in my recent videos. Texts about La Région Centrale suggest that the camera/horizon movement in Snow's film creates a cosmic perspective of space at the human scale, and I agree with this reading. My video game version adds an endless random time component to this idea as well.
In 2010 I used video game engines to generate scenes and imagery for video projects. I've used 3D spaces like Google Earth for projects since 2005 with my Satellite Jockey performances, but this is the first time that I'm releasing a game as an application. There is something very interesting in the stretching and randomizing of time that video ...

Artist Profile: Clement Valla
Clement Valla and John Cayley's Hapax Phaenomena is featured this month on The Download.
Certificate of Authenticity, Hapax Phaenomena (2011)
In Hapax Phaenomena and other projects such as Google Earth Sites, you refer to your art objects as artifacts or curios. Do you see yourself as an observer documenting an endangered technological curiosity?
Yes. These things will all disappear, and probably soon, in the name of progress. These artifacts are atypical ephemera, and often accidental products created by various internet algorithms. There is very little direct human hand in these artifacts. Though the purpose in collecting them is not simply for their preservation. It's more about framing them, allowing them to be seen, and showing a kind of bizarre byproduct of these super-functioning and useful systems, such as Google.
When did you first notice the glitch in Google Earth? What inspired you to begin capturing these surreal moments?
It was accidental. I was Google-Earthing a location in China, and I noticed that a striking number of buildings looked like they were upside down. I could tell there were two competing visual inputs here - the 3d model, and the mapping of the satellite photography, and they didn't match up. The computer is doing exactly what it's supposed to do, but the depth cues of the aerials, the perspective, the shadows and lighting, were not aligning with depth cues of the 3d earth model. I figured that this was not a unique situation in Google Earth, and I started looking at obvious situations where the depth cues would be off—bridges, tall skyscrapers, canyons. Soon I noticed the photos being updated, and the aerial photographs would be 'flatter' (taken from less of an angle) or the shadows below bridges would be more muted. Google Earth is a constantly ...
The Exquisite Contraption (February 2014)
Flux Factory invites artists, designers, engineers, hackers, and makers to collaborate on an elaborate, exquisite corpse-style Rube Goldberg machine that will span multiple rooms and floors throughout Flux Factory to accomplish a simple chore.
Inspired by Rube Goldberg's cartoons that depict overly complex machines; chindōgu, the Japanese art of "unuseless" inventions; and the growing popularity of producing these objects and machines as an art practice; The Exquisite Contraption will result in a massive, interactive, kinetic sculpture that is activated once a week for the duration of 2014 to perform its task.
Participants will work together to collectively identify the machine's task and individually build pieces of the chain reaction. The final contraption will be created from a wide array of materials and methods and become a long term addition to Flux Factory's architecture. In an age of consumerism that worships the invisible and efficient, The Exquisite Contraption is an experiment not only in the spectacle of visible automation and the aestheticization of externalities, but in living daily life surrounded by a conspicuous machine.
Tell us your idea for a task or chore to be automated and a section you would like to build (max 1 page). Applications are due December 16th to firstname.lastname@example.com and applicants will be notified by January 6th.
Emoji Art & Design Show at Eyebeam
United States of America
In today's visually oriented culture, which increasingly communicates through images rather than text, emoji comprise a kind of "visual vernacular," a language that conveys humor, ambiguity and personality as well as meaning.
This visual form of communication isn't necessarily new—from cave paintings, to hieroglyphics, to religious and mythological symbols encoded in traditional painting and sculpture, we've been communicating through images since the dawn of mankind—but its dominance in culture today, especially among millennials, seems to indicate a greater shift in our approach to self-expression.
Emoji are everywhere. The little pictographic characters from Japan have become one of our favorite causal modes of communication and their influence has permeated popular culture and personal expression.
If you're an artist or designer working with emoji, send us your work. We're looking for a diverse array of interpretations and appropriations of the emoji that exist both on and offline. The show welcomes new and existing works from a variety of mediums ranging from net art, to painting and sculpture, video and performance.
Designers looking to sell their emoji-themed products should apply to participate in the pop-up market. Please note that all pop-up market vendors should be local to NYC or able to staff their own booth.
Learn more & submit your work now through November 8th.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: All applications must be received by 12PM (noon) on September 13, 2013. Applicants will be informed of their application status by late November, 2013.
RESIDENCY SUMMARY: The 5-month residency will begin in mid January (negotiable start date) of 2014 and run through June of 2014, the first half of the time will be spent at The White Building, London and the second half at Eyebeam, New York. The resident will receive a stipend to be paid out over the course of the residency in connection with the achievement of specific milestones. In addition, travel between London and New York will be covered, and housing will be provided in London. The resident will not receive automatic housing in New York but will receive assistance in locating temporary housing.
OVERVIEW: The SPACE-run art centre, The White Building and Eyebeam are seeking applications from artists, engineers, designers, and creative technologists interested in being the inaugural resident in our joint residency program. The purpose of The White Building/Eyebeam Artist Residency is to support creation of new work that addresses the Focus Areas of this residency call. The new work, and the process of its creation, will be presented both at Eyebeam and The White Building, with opportunities for public presentation and discussion at both organizations.
RESIDENCY FOCUS AREAS: The resident is expected to respond to at least one of the following inquiries in their project:
1.What is the role of authenticity in the current creative situation? Digital technologies are built to reproduce themselves in perfect copies -- this is antithetical to notions of single authorship. What is authentic; can there be a single author anymore?
2. What is the place of discussion around aesthetic beauty and form in contemporary technological art? Particularly, how do the formal aspects of work on the internet affect how we 'appreciate' and understand art? How are platforms such S[edition] and art.sy re-configuring what is digital and physical practice? Moreover, what do we say to skeptics who argue that native art produced on the internet, does not boast the same social, aesthetic, or political value as traditional forms?
3. What is the relationship of queerness to the internet? Are there implied queer trajectories in what the internet enables?
4. How is storytelling evolving across cinema and ebooks, digital novels, hyperlinked narratives etc? Or is it evolving?
5. What does it mean to collaborate across geographies? What does it mean to be close to people?
PARTICIPATION: There is a single residency available under this program, though it may be shared by more than one person. The resident should be prepared to document, in both London and New York, the learning and development process for the project. This documentation, which may take any number of forms, will further engage the public by increasing understanding of the project itself. This documentation may include public-facing reports and updates designed to engage the public with the project and shed light on the artist's creative and educational process.
The resident is also encouraged to participate in both formal and informal learning opportunities within the The White Building and Eyebeam community.
DETAILS: The selected resident will be expected to start the residency at The White Building's London facilities in January, remaining in regular contact with Eyebeam. In London, the artist will be expected to spend at least 3 days a week developing their project at The White Building residency studio, where they will contribute actively to the culture of The White Building and its public program. After the first two months, the resident will be given working space at Eyebeam's Chelsea, New York City space and have 24/7 access to Eyebeam's facilities and equipment. The resident will also be expected to play an active role in the Eyebeam community by taking part in Eyebeam's weekly residents & fellows meetings, monthly Stop Work critique sessions, and annual Exhibition of artists' work.
In New York, the resident will bring their experience and expertise to Eyebeam where they will finalize the creation of the project(s). Residents are expected to contribute to the Eyebeam community as collaborative partners to other residents and fellows. Eyebeam may offer program support in developing work for public or educational programming within its space during the term of the residency.
ABOUT EYEBEAM: A belief in progress and openness are core values of Eyebeam. This has been demonstrated through 16 years of experimentation via the creative use and misuse of technology with the goal to innovate and develop better relationships between people and tools. Eyebeam believes that all creative work begins with a commitment to sustainability, equality, diversity, and concern for a better future. Across all research initiatives and focus areas, Eyebeam primarily supports projects that have real-world impact -- Eyebeam maintains that cultural progress is possible and encourages work that is paradigm shifting within a large spectrum of genres.
ABOUT THE WHITE BUILDING: The White Building is London's new centre for art, technology and sustainability. An incubator for big ideas and innovation, it serves as a creative lab for artists whose work engages with technology. Run by SPACE, The White Building's aim is to act as an international beacon for the creative industries in Hackney Wick, as well as a resource and venue for residential and educational communities in the area. The centre is anchored by a residency program that is unique among UK public institutions, offering opportunities for emerging and mid-career artists to produce new work on an international platform. The centre comprises a residency studio, which doubles up as a temporary exhibition space, a flexible event space, studios for creative practitioners.
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: Applicants are only accepted via the online application system at http://apply.eyebeam.org. Applications received after the deadline of 12:00 (EST) PM (noon), September 13, 2013, will not be accepted. All applications and work samples must be submitted through the online form. No exceptions will be made.
Applications must not be currently enrolled in degree-granting academic programs. Individuals and collaborative teams are invited to apply. In either case, please detail in your application how technical and creative responsibilities will be met. If applying as a collaborative team, please include information about team members' relevant prior experience and combine CVs into a single document before uploading.

LANSING (WKZO) -- A new poll shows Michigan residents are nearly evenly split when it comes to enacting right-to-work laws in the state.
Lansing-based EPIC-MRA found 54-percent are generally in favor of the right-to-work laws, but it's a dead heat when they're asked about Michigan adopting it. 47-percent support such a move, while 46-percent oppose it.
The poll shows 40-percent of voters said they would be less likely to vote for Governor Snyder for a second term if he were to sign the legislation.

First Trax :: Daily News
A Wet Granular Day
The warm spell has settled in and the weather folks are predicting rain to start today and tonight and to go into tomorrow. This is hit or miss at the resorts of course as these are macro predictions and you should check with your resort of destination before making any decisions. The ResortCams are a great place to start.
I'm not going to go into the weather too much, mainly because I'm just repeating what other people are saying, and why not just get the weather straight from the experts. Brad Panovich, Chief Meteorologist out of Charlotte, North Carolina is back with us for another year and has posted his first weather report covering the weekend and into Christmas week. You can check out his forecast here. I love the detail as he explains the why.
If you guys are like me, family is starting to arrive for the holidays and things are very hectic around the house. I have a 7 year old son who, as those of you with kids know, has been waiting for this for about 11 months - that much time has given him ample opportunity to plan exactly how this is going to go down. The grandparents are down from Michigan, where they left in the middle of a storm that had so far dropped 4", and all is well. So, let's get right to it.
For the most part, conditions have not changed too radically from yesterday. Appalachian Ski Mountain and Beech are both down an inch in base, while Massanutten is down 2". Sugar Mountain is minus two runs this morning, Sugar Slalom and Tom Terrific. If you head to the top of Sugar today, Northridge is your way down. Sugar's base cam shows plenty of snow so no need to fret if you're heading up there today.
On the other side of the coin, Timberline keeps opening stuff up and is plus one run today.
Our Northern most resort, Wisp, has opened up 2 more runs (I need to start keeping better records of exactly what runs are open – I'll work on that) but is also reporting a loss of about 4" to their base. Wisp took the biggest hit of our member resorts, but they have also had their fair share of natural snow this year, which can't take a hit from adverse conditions as well as the manmade stuff can.
You guys enjoy your Saturday. If you're at the resorts today have fun. Today MIGHT be the better day of the weekend as it appears that the rain will settle in across the area tomorrow. Cold temps return in a big way starting Monday night, so like I said in yesterday's post – this is just a bump, or better yet a mogul.
Take care out there today. Talk to you again tomorrow.

Press Release
December 6, 2010
Janet Bass
301-502-5222 (Cell)
Statement by Randi Weingarten,
President, American Federation of Teachers,
On Michelle Rhee's 'Students First' Organization
WASHINGTON—We wish Michelle Rhee well and hope she learns, as we have, that promoting education reform through conflict and division will not serve the interests of children and their educational needs.
The many school districts that have improved student learning build on respect, and on the hard work that teachers, management, parents and the community have done together. In places like Baltimore; Pittsburgh; New Haven, Conn.; Hillsborough County, Fla.; Norfolk, Va.; and St. Francis, Minn., there is a strong culture of labor-management collaboration, shared responsibility for student success, and an intense focus on identifying and meeting every student's needs.
Michelle Rhee likes to say that teachers unions are the problem, but the leading states and countries in educational outcomes—such as Finland, Singapore and South Korea—are heavily unionized. They build on what works, such as preparing teachers well, developing robust curriculum and engaging parents. And they do so through collaboration, not conflict or scapegoating.
Improving our schools—and preparing our children for college, career and life—is too important to be reduced to a choice between who is right and who is wrong. This is not a matter of whether we move forward on improving schools, but rather of how we do it, and we invite Michelle Rhee to work with us to give our kids the great schools they deserve and need.

The dancers performed at halftime during the Utah Jazz, Portand Trail-blazers preseason game at the Dee Events Center Monday night. Million men march for aqua By Alisa C. Rasmussen Signpost news editor Imagine a million black men, marching peacefully on the lawn of the nation's capital, not in protest, but in rare celebration of themselves. It actually happened Monday across the nation in the Million Man March, headed by Louis Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam. Their point was to rally to fight negative images the country held of their people. Farrakhan wanted to create a march more powerful and involving more people than the demonstration march of Martin Luther King, Jr. In less than 24 hours, hundreds of thousands of black men were expected hi the streets of Washington in a peaceful demonstration of what was referred to as "a day of atonement." This day would stand to represent a celebration not only about unity and self-respect, but of responsibility and self-sufficiency. "The March is certainly a good ideal,but I'm not sure if Farrakhan should take the lead on the concept," said Forrest Crawford, a Weber State University professor and chairman of the Utah Martin Luther King Commission. "He has some anti-semetic views on the world as far as sexism goes." Despite alternate views on the leader of the March, black men across the nation were asked to demonstrate in their own way, either by going to the capital grounds or staying home from work for the day. "For myself, if I would have had the money and resources, I would have gone and made myself visible," Crawford said. "It proved to be a successful event BRIAN NICHOLSONTHE SIGNPOST that drew a lot of attention. I didn't stay home, because I have students here at Weber State to support and serve. I, too, have the right to share my views and philosophies with students that I otherwise could not have, had I stayed home." The reason for the March is black men want to define themselves in their culture as a group of individuals and to rid the negative stereotypes placed upon them, because of their race. Another form of exclusion was placed upon the race in the effort to bring the race together. Farrakhan excluded women from the March, despite any sexist repercussions."I don't think it's a good strategy to keep the women away," Crawford said. "Women often provide an effective support for this type of rally." Ukraine doctors tour WSU health facilities By Aiisa C. Rasmussen Signpost news editor The nursing program is againbeing evaluated, but fear not. This time, the evaluation is taking on a whole new meaning.On this occasion, two doctors from Chernivtsi, Ukraine will be touring the Allied Health Center facilities to learn more about Weber State University's nursing and health professions program. "Both of the doctors are from the Ukraine, but one lives here and will act as a translator," Judith Pratt, a professor of nursing, said. "They a re here to see ho w we teach health care and health care professions." The doctors should be on campus Wednesday at 9 a.m., where an open meeting will be held to answer questions before the tour of the Allied Health Building facilities. A full day of touring and learning is planned for the doctors, to give them a better view of how the facilities are operated and how technology has helped the program succeed. Pratt said the goal is to help pass opportunities from American faculty members to Ukrainian faculty. Pratt also said the doctors want to see opportunities passed from faculty to students in both areas. Many black women were not offended, though. They, too, are disturbed by the declining stature of the black family, and were elated that the men in their family could stand up and be counted. From the beginning announcement of the March, law officials seemed a bit leery, afraid that protests would spark rioting at the nation's capital. However, the March remained a peaceful demonstration throughout the day. "I don't advocate Farrakhan's views necessarily," Crawford said. "I do beleive that he has a broad spectrum of views and ideals and a d iversity philosophy that need to be voiced. His views may be considered unpopular, but he does have a right to express his views." President Bill Clinton spoke See Million pane 7 The doctors' main goal is to upgrade their own program to make it more beneficial to their schools, their hospitals, and eventually their country in general."There are many opportunities to share knowledge from both countries," Pratt said. "They are hoping to develop their programs in education, because their healthcare sys- They are here to see how we teach health care and health care profes- Sin-Judith Pratt 99 tern is not the greatest. They want to bring it up, improve it, and make it better by seeing what we have," she said. ' The doctors are interested in the way we introduce education through new technology, Pratt said. Pratt also said they want to learn all about how WSU professors introduce new topics and how new programs are started to strengthen our program."It will be a great opportunity to share and understand more about how we can help their system become stronger and better," Pratt said.

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Citing an alarming rise in alcohol consumption and drinking-related illness and death, the British Medical Association (BMA) is calling for a ban on all types of alcohol advertising, the BBC reported Sept. 8.
A new BMA report says that the alcohol industry spends billions of dollars on advertising each year, including an increasing amount of money on sports sponsorships. The group said that voluntary industry marketing guidelines have been ineffective.
BMA also has called for minimum prices for alcoholic beverages in order to control consumption. About one-third of the British adult population drinks in excess of recommended guidelines.
"The BMA is not anti-alcohol," said Vivienne Nathanson, the BMA's head of science and ethics. "As doctors our focus is to ensure that individuals drink sensible so they do not put their health and lives in danger."
However, a spokesperson for the U.K. Department of Health said the current approach to alcohol prevention is working: "We're working harder than ever to reduce alcohol harm — but it's not always right to legislate. We take all evidence into account and react proportionately." And Jeremy Beadles, chief executive of the U.K. Wine and Spirit Trade Association, said the BMA proposals would cost jobs.
"Britain already has amongst the highest taxes on alcohol in Europe," said Beadles. "It should be obvious by now that higher taxation and higher prices don't curb alcohol misuse. The drinks industry is funding a major campaign to change drinking patterns amongst young adults. We believe culture change is more likely to be achieved through long term education and tough enforcement."
