I'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.
I feel privileged to read the Executive Edition because I know I am getting insider industry information before it hits the mainstream media channels. And it's always good to know what my friends are up to in the industry.- By Monica Wise, Founder, L*Space

AGENDA: Last chance to register before July 8-9 show.
ISPO: Shanghai trade show runs July 2 - 4.
Details on Industry Insight.
Surf Expo was busy on Friday, and was most likely another record day considering that the show was up almost 40% over last year's attendance on day one.
"Today is typically the strongest day, and from the looks of the floor today, it's packed," said Surf Expo Trade Show Director Roy Turner while walking the floor.
One thing that stood out was the large standup paddle section. Roy said there were 80-plus standup paddle manufacturers showing.
There was also a substantial skate/lifestyle section.
"It seemed like there are a lot of more items I would buy compared to other years," said Ryan Clements, who helps run and buy for Skatepark of Tampa.
Roy said skate manufacturer numbers were actually the same as previous years, but there were more street and youth culture lifestyle brands showing for the first time.
For example, this was Brixton's first Surf Expo show, and when I walked by their booth, they busy writing orders.
The mood continued to be positive all day long. I talked to a variety of retailers who all said that their holiday season was solid, especially a few days before the 25th of December.
"Black Friday was great, then it slowed, then we had a big blast the two weeks just before Christmas," said Thomas Hogan who owns Warm Winds in Rhode Island.
It was a pretty common theme from everyone I talked to, and most people were excited about future bookings.
"I talked to Seth and Aaron (of Agenda) this past week, and if they have a good show, which they did, the positivity transfers from their show to our show to wherever everyone goes next, so it's great," said Roy.
"If you look around, everyone is writing orders, so we're all pretty happy."
We have lots of photos from the show floor on Friday, above.

'Habitable zone' for alien planets redefined
Scientists have changed the rules for what constitutes the habitable zone for exoplanets — a Goldilocks-like range of not-too-close, not-too-far distances from the parent star that might allow the planet to host life.
The redefined habitable zone boundaries mean that some planets that were once considered potentially habitable have been kicked out, while others that were once excluded may be reexamined and are now considered potentially habitable.
Ravi Kumar Kopparapu, who works at Penn State University and led the research team, believes the previously included exoplanets will take the biggest hit from the new habitable zone rules.
"This will have a significant impact on the number of exoplanets that are within habitable zone," he said.
According to Abel Méndez, who works for the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo, previously excluded planets may also be affected.
"Many of those planets that we believe were inside are now outside," said Méndez, who was not involved in the research. "But on the other side, it extends the habitable zone's outer edge, so a few planets that are farther away might fall inside the habitable zone now."
The main goal of the habitable zone is to determine which planets would be able to hold water in its liquid form on the surface. Being closer to the parent star would cause the water to evaporate into the air, while planets that lie farther away would cause it to freeze to ice.
Now, the habitable zone will also be determined by two updated atmospheric databases: the high-resolution transmission molecular absorption (HITRAN) and the high-temperature spectroscopic absorption parameters (HITEMP). These two databases find the absorption parameters of water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are crucial to atmosphere of exoplanets and can help scientists determine if the exoplanet could hold liquid water.
Despite making changes that will result in better predictions of habitability, the habitable zone is not perfect. According to the researchers, the model does not factor in feedback from clouds on the planets. This feedback could affect whether the planet could ever hold life.
Twenty year ago, James Kasting of Penn State University developed the previous habitable zone guidelines. Kasting was also part of the new updates to the habitable zone definition.
According to Kopparapu, Kasting's initial work has led to the discovery of a lot of new planets. "At the time when he wrote that paper no exoplanets were discovered," he told SPACE.com. "In 20 years, hundreds, maybe thousands have been discovered."

The New York Jets, as expected, claimed receiver Braylon Edwards off waivers after he was officially released by the Seattle Seahawks. The extremely thin at receiver Jets look to be extremely thick-skinned as well, willing to bring back a known problem player who just called the Jets brass "idiots' only a week ago. But then again, the Jets are mathematically still in the playoff hunt, and there's no time for grudges.

Little India Riot: Singapore Media Whitewash
While the bus accident may have been the proximate cause of the Little India riot in Singapore, it is not unreasonable to speculate that disaffection among low-paid workers may have been a factor in the chaos that ensued. It seems rather obtuse to suggest that a riot of this magnitude was merely the result of a traffic accident and has no social context whatsoever; this is what government-owned Singapore media is reporting, however, as they attempt to whitewash the event and stifle any further discussion as to the real causes.
International media has been pointing out the fact that tension has been brewing due to the often difficult conditions migrant workers face in Singapore, and the bus incident was merely a catalyst which set things off.
Channel NewsAsia ran the headline: "No evidence foreign workers in riot unhappy with employers or govt." The basis for this title was a quote by Law and Foreign Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam. Today Online has adapted this quote as a headline as well.
So the rioters were not unhappy with the their employers or the government. Well, that settles that. Or does it? It is more likely the case that no evidence was found because none was sought after–or it was ignored and suppressed.
Neither Today or Channel NewsAsia make any mention of the complaints many migrant workers have as to how they are treated in Singapore. Today approaches a real analysis in its "Voices" section, but skirts any actual mention of the problems while trumpeting Singapore's successes:
Singapore has always prided itself on being clean, efficient and safe, and is well-known for its strict law enforcement.
Social and political stability, communal and ethnic harmony, high levels of public safety and security and low crime rates have been our "unique selling points" and have contributed to our global standing and consistent ranking as one of the best countries in the world to do business and live in.
The underlying problems which led to these incidents should be addressed. We must ensure our competitive advantages are not eroded. The Singapore brand name is at stake.
As part of the media whitewash, much of the coverage on Today and Channel NewsAsia centers on the prohibition of alcohol in Little India and the police's hunt for the culprits.
Another article in the "Voices" section of Today argues that it is irresponsible to share videos of the riot on the internet, urging self-censorship of citizens.
Most Singaporeans are angry that police cars and an ambulance were overturned and burnt.
It is easy to share such graphic videos online. But let us press the pause button, and ask ourselves what our purpose would be in sharing a video, photo or tweet and whether we are aware of the outcome that would be achieved. What about unintended outcomes? Is there a hidden agenda to the information provided on social media and are we being manipulated?
Indeed, in a country without free expression or an independent press, social media, citizen journalism, and videos taken on phones are the only way for people to know what really happened.
Media in Singapore falls under heavy government control. Channel NewsAsia, Today, Straits Times, and other outlets are controlled by the state. Temasek Holdings is an investment company owned by the Government of Singapore, which covers just about every sector, including telecommunications. The state owns all seven local TV stations. The Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts is a governmental body that regulates locally produced media, and decides whether media published abroad will be made available.
The Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders put Singapore at an abysmal 149th place out of 179 countries ranked, the lowest of any developed economy. Singapore narrowly beats out Iraq and Burma, and comes behind impoverished nations such as Cambodia, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe.
Singapore's Media Development Authority is the censorship body that has the final say on any form of media produced or distributed in Singapore. For example, before one may perform a play, the script must be approved by the MDA.
Beginning on 1 June 2013, the MDA requires all websites that report on Singapore with "significant reach" to apply for annual licences. These sites must pay a fine of $50,000 Singapore dollars (about US$40,000) and remove objectionable content within 24 hours of receiving an order from the government. Most bloggers, of course, do not have access to these kinds of funds. The government of Singapore has been threatened by the "hacktivist" group Anonymous due to this restriction of free speech on the internet.
The government has effectively destroyed internet free speech in Singapore. It should come as no surprise that there is a media whitewash of the events of the Little India riot.

Indians, locals or migrant workers, when drunk will caused some kind of problems. But the local Indians are much more worst than the migrant indian workers. As for this article, spewing your propaganda as if you know the workings and sentiment of the people of Singapore and those working in Singapore like the back of your hand. Misinformation and poor journalism propaganda is the norm for foreign media to bash any country like Singapore. Liberty Voice?. Really?. I guessed your organization have never looked yourself in the mirror.

Hi all. As a Singaporean living overseas – I was left saddened by the Sunday's events and frustrated by the standard of official reportage. The media whitewash and lack of critical commentary left me hungry for more information. With that in mind, I created a site that presents real-time updates on the riots through social media – drawing both official and alternative media sources. I would be honored if any readers would be kind enough to use this as a resource, and to make an informed understanding of the riots and its implications on Singapore.

August date set for third capital murder trial in 1997 killing of Memphis policeman
A judge on Tuesday set Aug. 13 for the start of the third capital murder trial of a Memphis man charged with the fatal shooting of a police officer in 1997.
Timothy McKinney, 37, was convicted and sentenced to death in 1999 for the killing of officer Don Williams, but an appeals court overturned the conviction and the sentence two years ago because they found his defense lawyers to be deficient.
In a retrial earlier this month, a mistrial was declared after jurors said they could not reach a unanimous verdict. Courthouse sources said one or two jurors voted not guilty of capital murder.
Criminal Court Judge Lee Coffee told McKinney on Tuesday that the August trial date was the earliest available that worked for prosecutors and defense lawyers in the case.
McKinney, who spent 11 years on death row, remains in jail without bond.
Williams, 37, was shot in the neck about 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 26, 1997, while working private security at Crumpy's Comedy Club at North Hollywood and James Road in Frayser.
He died about 30 days later.
A fellow officer identified the shooter as McKinney, whose name, address and date of birth were on a slip of paper Williams had put in his pocket following an altercation with him that night.
Defense attorneys presented witnesses who said the shooter was someone else.

The Heavy Water Thermal Neutron Facility of the Kyoto University Research Reactor (KUR) was wholly updated in March 1996 mainly for neutron capture therapy. The performance as a neutron irradiation facility was improved using the epithermal neutron moderator of the aluminum-heavy water mixture (Al/D2O = 80/20 vol%), the neutron energy spectrum shifter of heavy water, and the thermal neutron filters of cadmium and boral plates. The clinical irradiation utilization under the full-power (5-MW) continuous KUR operation was realized employing both the radiation shielding system, consisting of the shielding door and irradiation room, and the remote carrying system for a patient. The safety and utility of the facility were improved due to the safety observation system.

Recipe by sweetiesmj
"Baby bok choy have a milder taste than the full-grown deal and are also more tender. I just cook them in some chicken broth and garlic, and serve them with rice and fish. My family enjoys the taste of garlic, so we use quite a bit. Feel free to adjust accordingly."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons
1/4 cup
minced garlic, or to taste
2 (14 ounce) cans
chicken broth
6 heads
baby bok choy, trimmed
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
I absolutely loved the outcome of this, but in my mind 1/4 cup of minced garlic and 2 cans of chicken broth was SO unnecessary and excessive. As the recipe suggests, I used minced garlic to taste, probably a third of what was called for, and only enough chicken broth necessary to allow the bok choy to steam. I poured enough broth into my large skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch. Otherwise a great, basic reference recipe for cooking whole baby bok choy, one I know I'll come back to.
Yummy! gave it three stars since I modified it. Instead of butter I used two tablespoons of olive oil, six cloves garlic chopper, 1/4 cup chicken broth and added a handfull of chopped arugula - it was awesome! I needed to clean out the veggie drawer and this was a great combo!

I love baby bok choy! But 2 cans of chicken broth is "too much" for 6 heads of baby bok choy so I used an eyeball amount, probably 3/4 cup filled up to the sides of the bok choy. Also I did not add the entire 1/4 cup of minced garlic, only enough to suit my tastes. I lightly seasoned with hawaiian salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh squeezed lemon right before serving. Delicious! The fresh lemon really adds a lovely zip to the baby bok choy without taking away from the broth, garlic and butter. I 'd prepare this side dish again, the same exact way, with other types of main or asian themed dishes. Tonight I served this along with,"Adobo Chicken with Ginger," and "Roasted Corn with Garlic Rice," all from this website.
I've been cooking baby bok choy this way for a long time . . . and, I agree -- serving with fish and rice makes a lovely meal. It's so easy and sooo tasty!
this was very simple and good- i did cut my bok choy up before placing in skillet.
This was my first taste of bok choy, but I had to modify the recipe. I used just enough liquid to steam the greens in a fry pan and skipped the butter. Delicious!!!
Yummy. I had never had baby bok choy before and I thought I'd give it a try with this recipe. Very tasty, I will be making this again.
I'd never cooked with bok choy before so had no clue. This looked tasty and sounded easy, and we were not disappointed! Very easy and very tasty - two important qualities I look for in a recipe! Although, I lessened the garlic a bit and added some ginger and grated carrots! Yum!

There's a word that might describe Mitt Romney's sudden shift to supporting the peace process in the Mideast: chutzpah.
She brings her own tea bags in a neat Ziploc bag, and I am mildly awed at her preparedness and chutzpah.
She believed in chutzpah, "the drive to put yourself ahead," as she defined the Yiddish word.
also hutzpah, 1892, from Yiddish khutspe "impudence, gall." from Hebrew hutspah. The classic definition is that given by Leo Rosten: "that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan."
Yiddish term for courage bordering on arrogance, roughly equivalent to "nerve" (in the slang sense): "It took a lot of chutzpah to make such a controversial statement."

Walter Abington sent us this series of photographs of a molting Tibicen cicada. I believe the cicada is a Tibicen pruinosus based on this guide to identifying teneral Tibicen.

Paul Krombholz has come through with an awesome guide to identifying Tibicens just after they have molted. Click the image below for an even larger version.
Notes on the species from Paul:
T. pruinosus [formerly T. pruinosa]—Newly molted adult has darker mesonotum (top of mesothorax) than the very common T. chloromera. Abdomen is a golden orange color. Older adult has dark olive on lateral sides of mesonotum, lighter green below the "arches".
T. pronotalis (formerly walkeri, marginalis)—Quite large. The reddish brown color can be seen on the mesonotum of newly molted adult. Older adult has solid green pronotum (top of prothorax) and red-brown markings on sides of mesonotum. Below the "arches" the mesonotum color can range from carmel to green. Head is black between the eyes.
T. tibicen [T. chloromerus, T. chloromera]—has large, swollen mesonotum, quite pale in a newly molted adult and almost entirely black in an older adult. Individuals from east coast can have large russet patches on sides of mesonotum. The white, lateral :"hip patches" on the anteriormost abdominal segment are always present, but the midline white area seen in my picture is sometimes absent.
T. davisi—Small. This is a variable species, but all have an oversized head which is strongly curved, giving it a 'hammerhead' appearance. Newly molted individuals are usually brown with blueish wing veins that will become brown, but some have more green in wing veins. Some may have pale mesonotums that will become mostly black. Older adults vary from brownish to olive to green markings on pronotum and mesonotum.
T. figuratus [formerly T. figurata]—a largish entirely brown cicada. Newly molted adult has a pink-brown coloration with some blueish hints. Older adult has chestnut-brown markings and no green anywhere. Head is not very wide in relation to the rest of the body. The small cell at the base of the forewing is black.
T. auletes—a large, wide-bodied cicada. Newly molted adult is very green, but the older adult loses most of the green, usually retaining an olive posterior flange of the pronotum. The dorsal abdomen of the adult has a lot of powdery white on the anterior and posterior segments with a darker band inbetween.
Here's an update for this article (8 years later).
This is a series of photos of a T. tibicen tibicen as it gets darker in color (photo by Cicada Mania). This cicada will retain the green color in its eyes and pronotum, but its back will turn almost entirely black.
Earlier this week I was lucky enough to find a cicada nymph at a local park in Middletown, New Jersey. I took the cicada home, took some photos and then released it the next day. The cicada turned out to be a female Tibicen tibicen tibicen (formerly T. chloromera) aka a Swamp Cicada.
Over on Facebook and Twitter I've been doing a "Tibicen of the Day" series of posts, as it is summer in North America, when Tibicen are active.
We're counting down to end of the Dog Days of Summer when the star Sirius first makes it's appearance in the pre-dawn sky, which happens around August 11th. Here is a tool to figure out when Sirius will rise in your area. Update! we reached the 11th and we're going to keep going!

July 22nd: Tibicen superbus (Fitch, 1855) aka the Superb Cicada.
YouTube has lots of videos of cicadas. Here is a playlist of one of the prettiest North American cicadas, Tibicen superbus:
Tibicen superbus, aka the Superb Cicada, can be found in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
These sites contain information about both periodical and annual cicada species:
A new species of Tibicen cicada, Tibicen neomexicensis, has been described by Brian J. Stucky.
Read more about Morphology, bioacoustics, and ecology of Tibicen neomexicensis sp. n., a new species of cicada from the Sacramento Mountains in New Mexico, U.S.A. (Hemiptera, Cicadidae, Tibicen).
Thanks to David Marshall for the tip.
Now is a great time to look and listen for Tibicen cicadas in North America. Tibicen are the medium to large sized annual cicadas. Typically they are well camouflaged – with colors like black, white, green & brown.
During the day you can listen for them, of course, and spot them that way. Try Insect Singers for cicada songs. You can also look for their exuvia (skins), and if you're lucky you can catch on on a low branch.
Last night I started looking around 10pm and found three Swamp Cicadas (T. tibicen tibicen) shedding their skins on trees around the yard. I also collected about 30 exuvia (skins). All in a quarter acre yard. Take a look at this video:

Award Season - Departed Doesn't Miss the Mark
February 13th, 2007
The Writers Guild of America handed out their awards over the weekend. While there was a night full of winners, only two were for theatrical releases.
Original Screenplay
- The Departed's win makes it more and more likely that it will be the big winner at this year's Oscars.
- I'm happy that Little Miss Sunshine won, but I considered The Queen to be the favorite. This is enough to make me reconsider the odds for the Oscar.

Overclocking with caution...help required!
I have a geforce 6800xt 256mb DDR3 PCI E card ,n i have tried overclocking it using riva tuner. Im a total alien to this overclocking thing...so am very cautious not to burn the whole thing up.
I have the frequencies at 425mhz core clock/ 1175mhz memory clock. The default is at 350mhz/1000mhz. Im still using the stock cooling. The temperature of the gpu rises to about 71c after an hour of play. I have a 380 watt cooler master power supply.
Plz tell me, will this overclocking result in any harm to my card??? Will it affect its lifespan or cause any other trouble? Im not gonna increase the frequencies any further. Should i keep these settings or revert back to the default frequency??
And, i have intel 2.8mhz D processor...the dual core thing. Is it any better than the conventional intel processors of the same speed, game play wise???
Note: I havent seen any BIG improvement in the FPS after overclocking:(
Re: Overclocking with caution...help required!
Any overclocking can shorten the life span ,but heat is what kills or shorten the life span of a card,get a good after market cooler if you want to overclock ,but the settings you have now should be fine.Most of the 6800 ran in the low 70c with a load.
Re: Overclocking with caution...help required!
Yup, what he said. Those cards run hot anyways. Get yourself a Zalman VF900. Plus, the stock hsf collects dust and clogs very easily.

Change at Euro Disney -5/20/05
Confronted with ongoing losses at its theme parks near Paris, Walt Disney Co.'s Euro Disney operation on Thursday announced that it had replaced the resort's French chief executive with a company insider.
Disney said it replaced Lacroix with Karl Holz, 54, a former Walt Disney World executive and head of the Disney Cruise Line.
The move follows a record loss of nearly $190 million for Euro Disney in the year ended Sept. 30. Although results have since improved, the resort continues to lose money, recording a loss of $105 million for the six months ended March 31.

Recipe by Pillsbury® Crescents
"Mini sausages are all wrapped up in flaky crescents in an all-time favorite appetizer."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 (8 ounce) cans
Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
48 servings
fully cooked small smoked sausage links
Prepared horseradish
Yellow mustard
My kids made these as a Christmas Eve appetizer when they were younger. We cut each piece of dough into 5 pieces, and usually only need to use one pkg of crescent rolls that way. Less bread too. We like to dip them in honey mustard sauce.
Always a party favorite.
10 Ratings
Easy to make and taste great. We are asked to bring these to all the get togethers we go to. Kids love them too. Mmmmm,mmmmm, good. :)
My kids and hubby love these snacks!
I've been making these since 1985 - I have an old "Great Crescent Creations" booklet. These are never fail, and always gone way too fast!
A prefect classic. I made this for a church gathering last night. It was really received.
I have been making the mummy dogs for 2 Halloweens now and wanted to try the little smokies this year. They were very tasty but harder to roll the dough around. Next time I will make these for Christmas as directed and leave the mummy dogs recipe for hot dogs.
Kids' favorite! Makes a lot for a home meal, though. I use 1 can crescents, half the sausages, and freeze the rest of the sausages for next time, although you could probably freeze these after baking as well. Lots of variety in the dips-bbq, honey mustard, etc., and can vary the filling--throw in a bit of cheese, jalapeno, or use mini hot dogs. Easy and fast, great for weeknight meal, and my daughter enjoys helping to make them. Great recipe!

10) Reduce the oven temperature to 140C/fan 120C/ gas 1. Return the biscotti to the baking sheet and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until turning pale golden brown. Flip over and return to oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until evenly golden and crisp.
11) Allow cooling on a wire rack.
12) Reduce the oven to 120C/fan 100C/gas ½, to prepare the brulee.
13) In a pan, heat up milk over low heat. Fold in coffee granules and whisk until dissolved. Whisk the egg yolks until pale, add the caster sugar and whisk until pale and fluffy. Whisk in the hot milk mixture and then the cream.
14) Use 8 x 175ml ramekins to ladle the mixture. Place these in a high-sided roasting tin. Fill the tin with enough boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
15) Place the roasting tin inside oven and cook for 1.5-2 hrs, or until the brulees have set.
16) Allow the brulees to cool and chill inside the refrigerator.
17) Sprinkle the tops evenly with demerara sugar. Heat grill to its highest setting and place the brulees under for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar starts to bubble and caramelize.
18) In the serving plates, place the creme brulees and top with a spoonful of cream. Dust lightly with cocoa and serve with biscotti.

Live from the slopesBy Karen D. Lorentz | January 22,2013
PROVIDED Andy Davis, the snow reporter at Mount Snow Resort, uploads photos to Web sites.The job of a snow reporter compiling daily reports on snow conditions at ski resorts might seem like a glamorous gig for those who love the opportunity to ski or ride.
But, as one new reporter discovered, such workers dont always get the days first tracks, although they do get several runs most days. The bigger benefit to this seasonal job? It provides a good education and a chance to move up to full-time, year-round positions throughout the ski and tourism industries.
We now have two former snow reporters working full-time, year-round in our marketing department, said Bonnie MacPherson, public relations director at Okemo Mountain Resort in Ludlow, as proof that the entry-level, seasonal position is an important job that prepares new hires for various year-round positions.
Lindsay Colburn has served as Okemos snow reporter. My duties and interactions with multiple departments around the resort as snow reporter certainly helped prepare me for my current position as the marketing administrative coordinator, said Colburn, who added she is very happy to be a year-round Okemo employee now.
Dave Meeker, communications director at Mount Snow Resort in West Dover, described the snow report as our most widely distributed PR (public relations) tool.
The snow report page is the most visited page on mountsnow.com, so there is a major focus on accuracy, said Meeker. Duties include making sure everything is up-to-date, accurate, and consistent on every Web site we provide information to the snow phone, the trail report, snow-reporting TVs around the resort, interactive trail map, etcetera.
For Andy Davis, Mount Snows new snow reporter, a typical day at the mountain starts at 6 a.m. on weekends and holidays, and 6:30 a.m. during the midweek. He calls snowmaking and grooming departments to make sure everything went according to plan, and updates the snow report and interactive trail map on mountsnow.com accordingly.
Davis records the report on the snow phone, and then its on to updating numerous other Web sites, printing the trail report document, and making copies that he distributes to the areas retail shops, guest services, and training center. He also e-mails the updated trail report to ski shops and local lodging properties, and sends out a mass e-mail to subscribers of the daily snow report.
All of this should be done by 7:30 a.m. at the latest, he said. Sometimes, Ill get a [Web]cam shot when doing the trail report distribution, but otherwise Ill gear up and head out for a run or two and get the cam-shot then. Once I think I have a good photo, I come inside and upload it.
Other duties include making a video. Out on the mountain, he may shoot a powder day or an event.
Sometimes, I talk to guests and get their take on the conditions. Any number of things could be the subject: thats the fun of it. He also edits and produces a final video.
Around 1:30 p.m., Davis checks with mountain operations to see what the grooming and snowmaking plan is for that night, and uses that information to write the afternoon snow report as well as the next mornings report: this way, he just needs to update the weather portion and make any changes that occurred overnight.
Other duties include writing newsletters, talking to reporters, updating social media and keeping close track of changing conditions. On days when theres weather, I need to be on my toes and keep up with any lift holds, lift openings, trail closures, trail openings, snow-surface changes and anything else guests would need to know while they are here, he said.
Davis added, I thought the snow reporter actually went out first thing in the morning, took a couple runs and then reported on what he/she experienced. Thats not the case, aside from what I put in the afternoon snow report, which is usually a brief description of the runs I took during the day.
Im learning that many people who occupy managerial roles in the ski industry started in my position, and that is super encouraging. Jack Fagone, who was the snow reporter here last season, is now employed full-time in the marketing department as the marketing and merchandising manager.
In the meantime, I really love my job, and getting up at 5:30 in the morning has never been more fun.
Magic Mountain Ski Area in Londonderry places its snow report on the areas Web site as well as on onthesnow.com and snowcountry.org, with the latter offering radio reports which air in key markets for us, said marketing director Geoff Hatheway. We fax reports to partner ski shops and hotels/inns, he added.
Last year, Hatheway served as snow reporter as part of his duties, but this year that role went to a new person, who also assists in marketing and customer service.
A typical day for Magics snow reporter starts at 6 a.m. to 6:30 a.m., with a goal of gauging conditions and getting early reports up on Magics Web site, Facebook page, and Twitter, and to online/radio distribution outlets before 7 a.m., Hatheway said. Magics automated phone response is updated as to conditions and which trails were groomed. Reports are then faxed to ski shops and inns.
Once the ski patrol heads up the hill, the snow reporter will get a report as to any trail closings or openings, and then update all the online distribution outlets about any changes.
Then, its time to head out to get a feel for conditions, and bring camera and video for a more direct picture which will be communicated by social media after a run or two, Hatheway said. This may include third-party customer interviews.
Production of these will take place into mid-morning or afternoon, depending on any new weather happenings or events taking place that we want to communicate socially, Hatheway noted.
Because we want to be able to capture the day through the sights and sounds of customers as much as possible, the reporter must be engaged outside at various times. Its why a dedicated snow reporter was hired to be out there early and often, while producing materials that effectively communicate the ski and snowboard experience to our potential customers.
Snow reporting must be handled with knowledge and care, as accuracy and timeliness are very important, Hatheway added, giving a clue as to why this entry-level position often leads to year-round work for those who take it seriously and do a good job.MORE IN Battenkill Business Briefs

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh
This week the challenge is to share a photo or several that express 'fresh', and I've found it really difficult. I've seen lots of gorgeous images of flowers and food and I thought I would do the same. At last I came across this shot of a recently ploughed field, fresh and ready for seed.
So then I was able to make a link to the earth, with these colourful plants in the garden centre, ready for the soil.
And lastly, a tasty harvest from the earth.
You can join in and see lots more entries here.
Wordless Wednesday
A gathering summer evening
Since June I've been regularly checking on a tree when I walk the dogs. At first it had tiny green berries and by early July they looked like small green olives. Excitement mounted as they began to colour, just tinges of purple at first, but they didn't seem to grow any bigger because of the relentless heat we had. Busyness meant I didn't take that route for a while and then last week I jumped with joy, they were starting to ripen. I had a bag with me intending to pick blackberries but instead I picked windfalls. Have you guessed what they are yet?
Who needs blackberries when there are damsons? Last year there were so few that they weren't worth picking, but now they are all over the ground under the tree. I don't think that anyone else picks them, can you believe that? They are in a public place that has a good number of walkers and yet they just fall and go to waste, except for the birds and squirrels. Perhaps because its in a city rather than the country, people don't know what they are or what to do with them. Doesn't anyone else like damson jam or blackberry and apple pie? Surely one of the joys of summer is going to pick blackberries? I love to get free food, and spreading damson jelly on my toast through the dark winter helps to make it tolerable.
What do you gather? Or am I the last of a dying breed of hedgerow raiders?
Why not go hunting in your area and see what you can find? If you're not sure what to pick, ask an old woman like me or of course just do an image search on the internet. Foraging is the perfect way to spend a summer evening.
Chutney for Madhu and Tess
I told you about runner beans recently, and both Tess and Madhu asked if I would share the recipe. Well as I think it's delicious, even though I actually can't stand runner beans then it would be rude not to!
So here goes.
You will need
1lb runner beans
3/4lb onions
3/4lb sugar – half and half soft brown and demerara is good
3/4 tablespoon ground turmeric
3/4 tablespoon mustard powder
3/4 tablespoon cornflower
3/4 pint malt vinegar
Optional but nice – 1 teaspoon curry or ginger powder
Top, tail and de-string the beans – a mix of young and old will make for a good texture chop them quite small, I made them about a centimeter square , and boil until tender.
Finely chop the onions (cry if you have to) and boil in most of the vinegar until soft.
Mix the rest of the ingredients with the left over vinegar, drain the beans and mix the lot into one pan. Boil this up for about 15 minutes.
Put the chutney into clean, sterilised jars – remembering not to put hot chutney into cold glass.
You're supposed to leave it for at least a month before eating, but I've never done what I'm supposed to do!
Let me know if you try it or if you have a better runner recipe to share.
Oh and the brown stuff in the background is beetroot and apple!
Wordless Wednesday
It could have bean a disaster
But it never was. Just now, for the umpteenth time recently, I've been picking, de-stringing and chopping runner beans. As I stood there I remembered some of the many years I've done this, since I was a little girl, perhaps five or six. I always helped my grandparents, I loved it, the bright green of the pod and then inside, the pinky red of the bean. It made me feel grown up to use a sharp veggie knife, as I opened the pod, the fresh scent and juice transferred itself to my little hands.
I doubt many five year olds would slice beans these days, their parents would be worried that they would cut themselves. Even my own children didn't, there were too many other things to do. Perhaps that's the problem, too much doing of techy things, TV, computers and games consoles. Making connections, just I am now, with the virtual world, instead of getting hands on and mucky.
Well I'm glad I know how to prepare runner beans. I didn't like them back then, and I still don't. I have discovered that they may delicious spicy chutney though, so I'll keep on chopping.
I never did cut myself either, in fact I'm more likely to now, I'm far more blasé. I didn't burn myself on a hot pan back then either, but in between writing this post and chopping beans I've been making blackcurrant jelly. Not only did I burn myself but I also let it boil all over onto the hob , making a sticky red mess to clear up!

I just came across this story through a friend and thought it significantly appropriate for us today. Maybe it is for you too?
An African king had a long time friend who always looked at everything positively, always saying "This is good!" even in the face of the most difficult situations. Hunting one day, he was preparing the king's guns. When the king took his first shot, his thumb was blown off. Though the friend realized that it was his grave mistake for not properly setting the gun, and even in the face of this furious, bleeding king, he looked at him and said, "This is good!" The king was LIVID, and ordered that his friend be thrown in jail immediately.

Maronite bishops attend the monthly meeting in Bkirki, north of Beirut, Lebanon, Wednesday, April 4, 2012. (The Daily Star/Elie Mansour)
BEIRUT: Maronite bishops called Wednesday for the formation of a Lebanese government that is capable of facing any challenge.
The bishops also urged the rival Lebanese sides to protect citizens amid the increasing car bomb attacks linked to the crisis in next-door Syria.
A statement at the end of their monthly meeting said the bishops "called on political leaders and all deputies to carry out their responsibilities and speed up the formation of a government that is capable of facing the current challenges and to seriously prepare for the election of a new president in a timely and constitutional manner."
"The spread of terror by means of car bombs and lawlessness lays responsibility on everyone to maintain the Lebanese fabric and the security of the country," added the statement.
Lebanese officials, the bishops said, also have a responsibility to "to avoid turning Lebanon into a battlefield."

Elite IV: The Next Encounter
multiplayer commodity trading space dog-fighting goodness I hope and not some churned out shallow console crap.
A game with real depth would be great.
Some of you wouldn't have been born when Elite was released so...
Nice article
"If there's a lesson in Elite for modern developers, it's this--don't baby the player. A babied player doesn't grow up. A "challenge" fails to interest him; it becomes just an annoyance to be bypassed by a cheat-code. Make the player work to overcome a challenge from the get-go, and it's an investment. Make the player realize, "Uh oh, this isn't going to be easy." Of course, and I know, there are players who will immediately stop playing at that point. I say, have the integrity to let them go. Catering to this type of person will only ruin your game, and, in all sincerity, reduce the value your original game had to offer."
Currently due for release March 2010
