I'm trying to work through this in my mind and I could really use some help, especially from the infertility patient community. Do you find it offensive for the group of those suffering from infertility to be called " the infertile" or "infertiles"? As in, "Infertiles often feel alone when their friends are all having children" or in an example from one of the Factsheets on the Creating a Family site: Holiday Survival Guide for the Infertile.
I am not a word cop. I'm not even all that literate in grammar. I've got the basics (noun vs. verb vs. adjective, and can probably give adverbs a run for their money), but mainly I'm an idea kind of gal leaving the details, such as grammar, to others. So, while this title may sound like a grammar lesson, trust me when I say it is not.
What Those Who Take Offense Say
We've been having a lively discussion on a recent blog Should We Keep Promise Of Anonymity Made To Birth Parents (114 comments and counting), and a couple of people commented on the use of the word "infertiles" or "infertile" to describe the group of people suffering from the disease of infertility.
- "Infertiles". I want to let this pass, but I just can't. I am not "an infertile". I am a person who suffers from infertility, a chronic, emotionally painful condition that prevents me from being able to reproduce. I'm sure not feeling empowered by the use of other infertile people using that term. Just like when people knocking or demeaning infertile people use it, I feel kicked in the gut when I read it. My medical condition is not the sum total of my identity, but that term implies that everything I do and say is defined by that lens rather than just informed by it. I haven't seen it on this blog or in the comments section here in the few years I've been following as often as I've seen it in this thread. I get that y'all are using it to make a point, but really, and please, can we just not use that term?
- I don't like the word "infertiles" either. It collapses a medical condition or a disability into an identity.
- We don't call someone who is paralyzed a "cripple." It would be horrible to collapse deafness or blindness or any sickness into a one-word identity. Horrible. Leprosy becomes "lepers" and "leper colonies."
- I actually find it upsetting too, mainly because I think in fact the vast majority of posters to your blog have gone out of their way NOT to use that word and use respectful language such as IF sufferers. I would never ever use that word because I know it is so hurtful.
Not Trying to Pick a Fight
I always try to go with whatever the majority of people with a disease prefer to be called, or at least I try to. So I really don't have a dog in this fight, but aren't the following considered acceptable:
- Paraplegics
- Diabetics
- Epileptics
I would imagine if I were writing about the group of people suffering from diabetes, I would alternate between calling them "diabetics", "people who suffer from diabetes", or "diabetes sufferers". When we need to talk about a group for some reason we look for a group noun or collective noun. It is not with the intent of reducing someone to their disease, but as a way to speak of the group.
I sometimes use "infertile" when referring to the group because it is a shorter way to say "those suffering from infertility" or "people diagnosed with the disease of infertility". I write about infertility a lot, and I'm always looking for alternative ways of saying "infertility patient" or "infertility sufferer". And even those terms aren't perfect because not everyone is a patient and not everyone feels like they are suffering.
No One Should Be Defined by a Disease
I don't mean to define anyone be their disease. I'm not trying to be argumentative or defensive, and I truly appreciate people letting me know it rubs them the wrong way. I'm curious how others feel and would love suggestions of how to talk about the group of people with infertility.
Litmus Test
Someone suggested their personal test to know whether a word is appropriate: Would I say it in conversation with someone who is the descriptor? I thought the test was great, but unfortunately didn't help me much. Since I didn't know it was offensive, I would likely use it in conversation, and likely would have offended.
Weigh in please: does the use of the word "infertile" or "infertiles" to describe the group offend you?

And yet we're supposed to be post racial…
Tennessee Congresswoman Terri Lynn Weaver and her pastor, btw. (Halloween 2010)
Congresswoman Weaver actually posted this picture of herself on Facebook, and added the caption: "Aunt Jemima, you is so sweet."
In response to criticism, Weaver took down the photo and said: "I'm the least racist of anyone. Some of my greatest friends are black."
Have you noticed how it seems like the most racist white people are incredibly fond of declaring themselves to be "the least racist"? They never say something sensible like, "As a strong advocate of anti-racism, I regret making the mistake of unknowingly perpetuating a racist stereotype. I apologize and will not make the same mistake again." That might actually kinda work! But instead, it's always this "I'm the least racist person ever, there isn't a racist bone in my body" nonsense.

Official Commentary
-"The one who just came on for team China, Luhan, in the #29 jersey, is a Chinese member of Korean entertainment company SM's new boy group. Born in Beijing, 90-liner. April 20th."
-"Luhan should join the Chinese soccer team."
-"Star Team China's two most dangerous attacks today both came from Luhan."
-"That was a great pass from Luhan, he passed it behind the opposing player."
-(When Luhan was going for the goal) "He can't score this one, he can't! If he does next season he'll be recruited to the Shanghai Shenhua FC!"
Miscellaneous Comments
-"My dad's been a soccer fan for 17 years, and just now he said one thing to me, "tell the orange-head to join the Chinese national soccer team, they would be so much better off if they had him." [sunny苏-]
- (Two male soccer fans at the venue) "Who's the dude with the orange hair? He's pretty good!" [YUKIIIIIXIN]
-"This guy was a cool player. The back-pass in the second half was nice." [转角遇甜瓜]
-"Luhan's performance earned a lot of praise from the commentators. If he wasn't a celebrity, he would be a great #soccer xiao lu#" [PPTV SPORTS]
-"The only thing I got from this match was that I came to know a Chinese boy named Luhan. Haha, his thighs are pretty nice." [奚鸣元 (PPTV Sports Director)]
-"Luhan was really cool, he did everything he could on the field. He kept bowing to the sunbaes and his teammates, high-fived them and encouraged them. [鹿寳児-Smybaby]
-"Luhan always had his eye on the ball, and he did what he loves most with a serious attitude. His teammates helped him warm up, shook his hand, pointed out his banners for him, huddled around him, and rubbed his neck happily." [南舜君]
-"A Star China Team member pointed out some Luhan banners to him, then pinched his arm and said "not bad! they're all here for you!" Luhan smiled shyly and quickly waved his hand and said "no, no."" [吴世勋快来和鹿晗滚床单]
-"Luhan accidentally kicked a ball near the audience section, and he ran to get it immediately and bowed many times in apology."
-"Today I learned about some big star named Luhan. Shanghai Shenhua FC should sign him. Handsome and runs fast, serious eager and popular." [Hello大群]
In last year's CECI Interview, Luhan said, "my dream was to become a soccer player." At that time fans joked that he was young and naive. But today, even though he's here as an idol, he's standing on this green field, the same boy with the same dream, to play his heart out against the professional players he admired so much. Fate can be interesting like this, and no matter which direction people end up going in, those with dreams are amazing. Once again, Luhan taught me this. Thank you. [青豚的鹿Honey]

A hack to script system preferences

RE: Scripting Preferences
I haven't tried this yet (I'm actually about try), so it's still in theory stage. Unix allows you to script things (like a batch file in DOS world), so you may be able to write one to edit your system preferences (.plist files), or at the very least, switch between a few existing ones. This shell should then be able to be run as a startup program...
RE: Scripting Preferences
Okay... I've had a go add changing the system preferences via the Unix shell.

Guard union in Twin Cities looks to expand after contract victory
SEIU focuses on grassroots growth of adding security officers to its union
'A really remarkable contract'
"When this particular contract came up, there was such a difference," said Graham, who is now vice president in charge of the security division for Local 26. "It's just about the difference between the Wright brothers taking off from Kitty Hawk and taking off in a jet from New York today. "
In December, the union brought a 34-member negotiating committee to a Twin Cities hotel to begin contract talks, a move intended as a show of strength.
But after more than two months of stalled negotiations, the union went public with a one-day strike on Feb. 25, followed by public endorsements from U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul and several state legislators and Minneapolis City Council members.
John Budd, professor of human resources at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management, said SEIU is developing a reputation as a source of energy and activism among unions, which have lost much of their luster in the eyes of the public over the past several decades.
"[SEIU has] really been trying to break out of the sort of moribund stereotype of most unions these days," Budd said. "A while ago they figured that the business as usual approach wasn't going to be successful now. "
The key, Graham pointed out, was to present the issue to the public as a fight for better health care coverage. Prior to the new contract, the average security officer in the union made $11.75 an hour and had no paid days off, so negotiators fought for contract changes on a wide array of issues.
But they knew health care was the lightning rod issue that would draw the most attention.
"You can gather a tremendous amount of community support behind health insurance," Graham said. "As a result, we ended up with a really remarkable contract. "
Under the new contract, individual health insurance premiums have already dropped to $60 from $190 per month, and will fall to $20 per month by the end of the contract. The cost of family coverage will fall even more dramatically, while wages will increase by at least 50 cents an hour each year.
Other items that many guards will receive for the first time include a paid annual sick day and the option to put money into a 401(k) plan.
"If we did not, in this instance, create a lot of public awareness about health care, there would not have been the pressure [on our employers]," Morillo said. "I have the pre-strike offer and the post-strike offer that we settled with, so I know that it was effective. "
The focus on health care gave the union an issue that the public at large could relate to, and public relations, especially in today's media-soaked climate, is a vital part of any labor dispute.
As for the terms of the new contract, Budd summed it up simply.
"Anything that makes health care affordable for service workers is a major victory," he said.
Guy Thomas led negotiations for the consortium of five security companies that settled on the union contract. He offered little in the way of a personal critique of the union, other than to say that negotiations, in the end, were successful.
"The best test of a union contract is everyone is happy, and both sides came out with something as a result of this process," Thomas said.
The heightened public awareness also provided officers with indirect benefits. On April 9, the day negotiators reached an agreement, union officials announced that officers working at Block E in Minneapolis had been fitted for bullet-proof vests for the first time.

The Foundation for Fellowship: Jesus, The Word of Life
Sermon shared by Matthew Grise
April 2010
Summary: 1 John 1:1-4. Jesus Christ is the foundation for our relationship with God and our relationships with other people.
Series: Fellowship with God and Men
Scripture: 1 John 1:1-1:4 (add scripture)
Tags: Jesus Christ, Fellowship, Jesus (add tag)
Denomination: Baptist
Audience: Believer adults
- In the third and fourth century a man named Arius posited the idea (though he was not the first) that Jesus was not eternal, he was a created being of God the Father. And Arianism, as it is labeled, still exists today. Of course, many go further and not only posit that Jesus is not equal with God but was no different from any other human being. He was just a man.
- Even as early as when this letter was written, between 90-100 A.D., it is apparent that John is combating the idea that Jesus was a mere mortal. He describes him as that which was from the beginning; not that which was created in the beginning – when the beginning of creation happened, he already was.
- The deity of Jesus is so important to lasting Christian joy. Our faith will be dysfunctional if we fail to take into account our Lord's divinity. By that I mean that we don't simply mentally acknowledge his deity, which most, if not all of us would do; but that we understand what his divinity means in terms of his relationship with us, his people.
- We do not worship a mere man. We do not pray to a mere man. We do not share a message conjured up by a mere man. We are not giving up our lives in order to follow a mere man. We are following the Son of God, who is equal in every way with the Father.
- So when a life threatening disease strikes us or someone we love, and we fall to our knees and call on Jesus' name, asking for his healing touch even though the doctors say recovery is a long shot, we know we are praying to the Son of God, who banished disease from Palestine during his earthly ministry. That gives us hope when the world sees no reason for hope.
- Or when healing doesn't come and death is seemingly victorious, we know we serve the Son of God, who gives us eternal life because he stepped out of his grave and conquered death once and for all. And that hope, that victory translates into every area of our lives. Whenever trouble comes, we know Christ is our refuge; and Christ is no mere man, he is the risen Son of the living God.
- Well, the other important truth contained here, as in the Johannine gospel, is the true humanity of Jesus. So secondly, we need to notice that:
- John says that what was from the beginning has now been heard, seen with their own eyes, looked upon and touched with their own hands. Here again John is combating a heresy that was prevalent in the early church – the idea that Jesus only appeared to be human. I've mentioned it before, it's called Docetism, and it was based upon the Gnostic idea that matter is evil. Since matter is evil and Jesus is good, it is obvious that Jesus could not have really had a physical body.
- But John says "No. I heard his voice. I watched him walk, talk, eat, and drink. I saw him when he was on the cross, bleeding and suffocating and crying out in pain. I touched his wounds when he appeared to us after his resurrection. Don't tell me Jesus wasn't

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 (UPI) — Republican leaders said they were baffled by a move to delay a decision on the Keystone XL oil pipeline while the president is blaming lawmakers for inaction.
U.S. President Barack Obama is trumpeting his "We Can't Wait" campaign to counter a legislative branch handicapped by partisan politicking.
"Republicans agree, which is why the Obama administration's delay of the Keystone XL pipeline project is so baffling," a statement from the Republican-led House and Energy Committee read.
Three U.S. senators and 10 U.S. representatives — 12 Democrats and an independent — called on U.S. State Department Inspector General Howard Geisel to delay a decision on the Keystone XL to allow for examination of potential conflicts of interest.
They allege, in a letter obtained by the Platts news service, that officials at pipeline company TransCanada may have improperly influenced a State Department review of Keystone XL.
TransCanada wants to build the Keystone XL pipeline to carry oil from tar sands projects in Alberta province to refineries along the southern U.S. coast.
Opponents of the project, who say they worry about the environmental impact of tar sands oil, say some of TransCanada's backers had an improper relationship with officials in the Obama administration.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ind-Vt., said TransCanada "reportedly was allowed to screen private firms competing to perform an environmental impact study on the pipeline."
The State Department, which needs to approve the pipeline because it would cross international borders, said it didn't see any major environmental problems associated with the pipeline.

- We provide free, nutritious, home-delivered meals to 1300 clients in 18 cities and towns across 225 square-miles in Massachusetts.
- This year's Pie in the Sky fundraising goal is $575,000—which translates into thousands of meals for our critically ill neighbor's clients and their families.
- For $25, the price of one pie, you will provide a week's worth of meals for a neighbor living with a critical illness. Each and every pie makes a difference!
- Pies can be picked up the day before Thanksgiving at over 60 locations throughout Massachusetts.
- Everybody needs three things at Thanksgiving:
- At least one, preferably two or three, delicious pies.
- More time to cook, prepare and actually enjoy the day.
- The opportunity to help someone in need.
Memorable Taglines:
- The Secret ingredient is you!
- This Thanksgiving, it all starts with pie!
- Have your pie and let others eat too!
- Help your neighbor, one delicious pie bite at a time!
General Marketing Suggestions
- Have fun! Ask the friend you "want-to-see-more-of-but-never-get-to-spend time-with" to join your pie team. Tap into other people on your pie team and share ideas. It's called Pie in the Sky for a good reason – the sky's the limit!
- Network. Ask a pie buyer to think of at least three friends, relatives, or business contacts that he or she could call to tell about Pie in the Sky.
- Advertise. Hand out the pie postcards and hang your pie posters and flyers in the office, gym, church, synagogue, and daycare center — anywhere you think people would be interested in helping to make a good thing happen. Write your contact info on the bottom. Also wear your Pie in the Sky Button around Boston!
The Power of E-mail/Social Networking
Email is extremely effective for spreading the Pie in the Sky message quickly and to a large group of prospective buyers.
- Send targeted personalized messages. We've included some information about Pie in the Sky and Community Servings to help you develop your own personalized e-mail pitch.
- Pie in the Sky e-cards! Spread the holiday spirit and let others know about your involvement in this program by sending an e-card from our website. Ask your contacts to join your team, tell them how they can buy a pie, or simply wish them a happy holiday season. Visit www.pieinthesky.org, select a card, personalize, and send away!
- Use Web 2.0. Like our Facebook page (Community Servings) and tell your network all about the sale. Tweet your pie-selling progress to your followers with @communityserv and #pieinthesky. Tell your LinkedIn and Yelp contacts about your pie selling efforts. Make the Pie logo your profile picture.
- Keep people informed throughout the event. Send e-mails to your teammates, co-workers, friends, and family. Tell them when you're nearing your sales goals, how overall sales are going, how many special raffle pies have been sold – and they'll start to feel more connected.
- Thank all participants after the sale! Let them know their help mattered and give them the inside scoop - how many pies you/your team/company sold, and how much money was raised. And of course, remind them about Pie in the Sky 2012!
Sample E-Mail/Sales Letter
- What is Pie in The Sky? Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without a homemade pie, too tasty to refuse even after all that turkey and stuffing. Pie in the Sky lets you buy freshly-baked pies for your Thanksgiving table while enjoying the true spirit of the holiday—helping those in need! Pie in the Sky is your chance to treat your guests to a wonderful pie from one of Massachusetts best bakers while helping Community Servings prepare and deliver nutritious meals to 1300 individuals and families ill with HIV/AIDS, cancer, Lupus, MS and other acute, life threatening illnesses.

If we sell more than 100 pies here at (COMPANY NAME), you can pick them up right here! Otherwise, there are over 50 retail sites for you to pick-up your pie(s). (# is closest to our office.)
- A Sweet Deal Choose from Apple, Pecan, Pumpkin, Diabetic Apple and Sweet Potato pies. Each pie is just $25.

Each pie makes a difference in the life of someone too ill to shop or cook for themselves.
- The Easy Part So, come on! It couldn't be simpler—a great pie for a great cause! Think about how satisfying a nice piece (or two!) of pie will be on Thanksgiving Day, knowing that you have helped others. Now that's a reason to give thanks!

Hoaxes, mischief, and misinformation throughout history
Hoaxes, mischief, and misinformation throughout history
Status: Linguistic puzzle Check out these parsing challenges over at linguistlist.org. It took me a good 15 or 20 minutes to figure out why they make sense. (Though I'm sure some people will figure them out immediately.) The first one is this sentence: Dogs dogs dog dog dogs. It's a legitimate english sentence. To figure out how this is so, it helps to compare it to the sentence: Cats dogs chase catch mice. (They both share the same structure.) The linguist list folks then point out that the word 'buffalo' can also serve as the basis for a similar sentence: Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.

(With apologies, and belated March 2 birthday wishes, to Dr. Seuss)
Oh the wonderful things Dr. Brown can do!
He can palpate your spine, and your abdomen too!
He can feel a strong pulse, and it fills him with cheer!
Dr. Brown checks a cervix — delivery is near!
He can listen for murmurs, and egophony too —
Dr. Brown can do it, can YOU?
Dr. Brown can examine your retinal veins,
He can inject a steroid to help your knee pains,
He can listen for wheezes and stridor and rales,
He can tell if your lungs are beginning to fail.
He can tell if your fever is caused by the flu —
He can order an xray, and an ultrasound too.
He can sample your stool, if you have diarrhea,
He can sample your urine — oh, you have gonorrhea!
He can write an excuse for a sick day or two —
happy belated dr. seuss! this is very clever :)
This is my favorite Dr. Cranquis poem ever!!!
Perfect ode to the man Dr. Seuss
Good stuff no matter when you wrote it. Reposting and happy birthday Dr. Seuss!
Don't have time to write a fresh Dr. Seuss medical-parody this year. So enjoy this one again!
Here's a poem for the gentleman in the diesel underpants down there…. (Funny thing was I was on the 'theodore geisel'...

"Retail doors have been dropping like flies. Between the bankruptcies, some liquidations and store closures, it was beginning to look like maybe we wouldn't have many more doors to sell to. Our accounts include names such as Stein Mart and Mervyn's, but there's not tremendous volume. The business is really centered on the production for orders from the mass discounters," the executive said.
As reported, Kmart's lawyers questioned former president and chief operating officer Mark Schwartz earlier this month as part of the company's stewardship review. Former chairman and chief executive officer Charles Conaway was questioned last year, and is expected to be contacted for a follow-up session later this month.
Chief restructuring officer Ron Hutchison said during the telephone conference that the disclosure statement would include information detailing the company's stewardship review, which he said is "substantially completed."
Meanwhile, Kmart will provide transition assistance for affected associates, including severance, extended benefits and job placement assistance. Julian Day, president and chief operating officer, said during the conference call that associates are being encouraged to apply for re-employment at nearby Kmart stores.
Day said Kmart will embark on a marketing campaign to let customers know that Kmart remains "open for business."
Kmart also filed its amended annual report for 2001, or Form 10-K, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as an amended quarterly report, or Form 10-Q, for the first two quarters for fiscal 2002. The restated filings reflect adjustments to correct past accounting practices.
The net impact of the restatements was to reduce reported operating results by $28 million in fiscal 2001, $24 million in fiscal 2000 and $39 million in fiscal 1999. The restatement also had the effect of reducing the retained earnings on the company balance sheet on Jan. 30, 1999, by $138 million.
Adamson said in a statement: "We have made considerable progress over the past year in attacking many of the systemic problems that have plagued Kmart's performance for a long time. Clearly we continue to face many challenges — both within our organization and in a difficult economic environment that has not been kind to many retailers.

iPhoto 5 has killed my library six or seven times since I first installed it a week ago. I'm thankful that I had the foresight to back up my images, but I'm completely over it. I'd like to switch to iView, but given iPhoto's bizarre directory and database structure, I'm not sure how to go about moving everything from one application to the other.

May 17, 2012
At a Wednesday hearing, members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee considered various strategies to make the health system more efficient.
Kaiser Health News: Capsules: Senate Panel Looks At Innovative Health Care Strategies
No matter how the Supreme Court rules next month on the challenges to the 2010 health care law, there will be a continued focus on making the health care system more efficient, and senators looked at some promising options Wednesday (Carey, 5/17).
CQ HealthBeat: Whitehouse Touts Rhode Island Group Practice As Model For Health Care Redesign
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has taken on the role in Congress of showcasing new forms of health care delivery that save money without undermining quality or access, and of touting the role the 2010 health care overhaul plays in incubating that innovation. But Republican statements at a hearing Wednesday by the challenged the notion that the government can play an effective role in fostering redesign of health care delivery (Reichard, 5/16).
Modern Healthcare: Lawmakers Target Geographic Payment Variations
Creating a new Medicare payment modifier that increases or decreases hospital reimbursements based on their quality and costs would help rein in geographic variations in the program, according to two Democratic senators. Sens. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said at a Wednesday hearing on improving healthcare quality and controlling costs by the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee that they support the creation of a hospital version of the new physician payment modifier included in the 2010 healthcare overhaul (Daly, 5/16).
In other Capitol Hill news, media outlets report on two ongoing investigations: a Senate inquiry into a dental management services company and a probe by House Republicans regarding drug industry support for the health law -
Bloomberg: Dental Abuse Seen Driven By Private Equity Investments
Isaac Gagnon stepped off the school bus sobbing last October and opened his mouth to show his mother where it hurt. ... Isaac's case and others like it are under scrutiny by federal lawmakers and state regulators trying to determine whether a popular business model fueled by Wall Street money is soaking taxpayers and having a malign influence on dentistry (Freedberg, 5/17).
Bloomberg: Republicans Probe Drugmaker Political Support For Health Law
House Republicans are probing whether the White House and Democrats in Congress were promised political support from drugmakers in exchange for limiting what the industry would be asked to contribute under the 2010 health-care overhaul, according to a memo. Those involved in negotiating the law's passage are being interviewed by a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, people familiar with the investigations said this month. The probe, led by Republicans Michael Burgess of Texas and Cliff Stearns of Florida, has included companies such as Pfizer Inc. (PFE) and the Washington-based Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, a trade group (Armstrong, 5/16).

We've finally made it to the weekend!
And a chilly start it is... Sunshine on Friday brings back the chilly reminders of what time of year it is now. At least there's a breather in there. Highs are stuck in the 60s with higher elevations in the 50s. This will be a theme all weekend long. Another system scrapes the area on Saturday, and we'll be watching the weather conditions for Bridge Day out in Fayetteville and along the New River Gorge.
NAM - Saturday Afternoon
A weak frontal system is approaching, with most of the moisture missing us to the north. However, this front has a good shot of colder air behind hit, so we should still be on the lookout for a few scattered afternoon/evening showers. One of the things to be wary of out at Bridge Day though will be the winds in the afternoon.
There's a pulse of wind coming through with the frontal passage Saturday afternoon that can gust up to 20kts or so. The morning jump weather seems fine enough (folks will be leaping from 9a to 3p ... and note, US-19 will be closed at the bridge from 7a-5p and the detours are all at least 30 minutes longer than your normal trek). Besides lightning, gusty winds are about the only thing that causes concern on Bridge Day. I think in the end it's a manageable wind, but I bet we'll have stories of folks landing in the trees instead of the X. :-)
First Frost Prospects...
Following this weekend's front and the clearout for Sunday, temperatures will fall with the benefit of radiational cooling and calmer winds.
The GFS is now trying to position Sunday morning as the coldest one, but Monday will also still put frost on the menu. This won't be a freeze situation, but it would be a first of the season for many local folks. Lots of lawns out there have been newly reseeded and there are fingers crossed that no complications would arise out of this, but for the most part we should be okay :-)
First Flakes..?
Okay, so this has been another interesting development we started talking about yesterday. I want to first get out the less likely of the two scenarios and then talk about the better one. Let's begin with the NAM:
So on the left-hand map, we see that the 850mb temperatures dip below freezing, even to -1°C. This is around 5,000ft (where we find places like Spruce Knob and Snowshoe Mountain). There's an itty-bit of moisture hitting the up-slope as well, so it raises an eyebrow. Hop over to the SREFS ("Short-Range Ensemble Forecasts") and we see that one member-- a single member, is advertising a changeover to snow at those high elevations. Whenever the SREFs have just a single member out of a couple dozen showing a particular solution it's not a cause to go crazy. But, since everyone loves to look for the first opportunity for flakes, I'd toss this one out there. Again, only really for the ski-slope type altitudes if it happens at all on Sunday.
Now to the better possibility...
The Euro (and the GFS for that matter) has been developing a run-to-run consistency of dragging in a serious cold-air push next week, good enough to get the whole of the tri-state into a near snowable low-atmospheric environment, though only the lake-enhanced areas stand a chance at turning that into snowfall. Nevertheless, as the NCEP map at right shows, this is looking more and more like a 'first-flakes' scenario for the 3000' level. Not that it's a weather alert scenario or anything, the "first" is always something of note. Speaking about notes, this would represent a later first-flake date than the past two years, as we barely got out of September in both 2011 and 2012 before the flakes flew at those altitudes. It actually happens on average right around this time.
We'll keep watching!
Have a great day everyone!

Bluff City, Tennessee
Lakeview RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
We just had another great camping experience at Lakeview RV Park in Bluff City, TN. We were there for Bristol Motor Speedway race week. Even with heavy use during race week the bathrooms were clean. We have never had a warmer welcome than the staff gives us at Lakeview. We enjoy Lakeview at race week and for a couple of other family camping trips during the summer and fall. We look forward to our next visit there.
Bluff City, Tennessee
Lakeview RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
We just spent a week at our favorite campground, Lakeview RV Park. This campground has spacious sites and beautiful views overlooking the lake. We rented a pontoon boat and had a lovely day on the lake. Our dog enjoyed the pet run. The kids enjoyed the pool, although the water was too cold for the adults to stand. This is a campground where the staff goes out of their way to help campers feel at home.
Jacksonville, Florida
Flamingo Lake RV Resort
[ 8/10 ]
This was our first time at this campground. We stopped on our way south. This is a pleasant campground with the opportunity to see nature around the campground and in the area. The staff was friendly. We would camp here again.
Walland, Tennessee
Misty River Cabins & RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
This Park is at the Foothills of the Smoky Mountains. We liked it because it was near Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, yet off the beaten path in Walland. We have a 45 foot motor coach which the pull thru sites easily accommodated. The private bathrooms were outstanding. This a campground we plan to visit again.
Bluff City, Tennessee
Lakeview RV Park
[ 10/10 ]
When Lakeview RV Park web site says, "Wide Roads for Easy Site Access," they mean it. We are on our way to FL in our 45-foot motor coach. Every site is easily accessible. That has not been the case in many of the campgrounds where we have stayed. We stayed in a pull-thru. We planned to stay overnight, but enjoyed the campground so much that we stayed three days. On our way back north we will stay longer. The manager and staff are very friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi was available throughout the campground, and it worked! The campground even has a pet playground. This campground is new, so the 50-amp service and all utilities work. This campground was a find. It is about 10 minutes off I-81 near Bristol with four-lane roads from the Interstate to the campground. We will be back whenever we travel I-81.
