The snow climate in Australia is often regarded as warm and wet. We rarely get really dry snow and what we pass as powder in the mornings is often heavy in the afternoon. The moisture comes from the cold southern ocean but because it doesn't pass across a lot of land mass first the air and hence snow rarely gets very cold. Despite a record temperater of -23°C at Charlotte Pass night time temperatures rarely drop below about -5°C and often hover just below zero. Daytime temperatures usually reach +2 or +3°C for much of the season with spring temperatures often climbing towards +10°C in mid to late September.
Most snowfalls are preceeded by a very windy change and chairs going on windhold is a common thing in most Australian resorts.
Snow areas
All but two of the commercial ski resorts are in the Australian Alps, on the Victoria–NSW border, in the only area on the mainland that develops a sufficiently deep snowpack for snowsports. The region is also known as 'The Snowy Mountains' or just 'The Snowies'.
On the Victorian side, there are three major and four minor ski resorts. There are also many non-commercial ski resorts used for cross-country skiing. On the NSW side, there are two major and two minor ski resorts. There are two small resorts in Tasmania.
There are a number of ski clubs with lodges outside the resorts, some of which run their own backcountry ski-tows
Snow in Australia is not as reliable as in other countries, due to the low altitude (the highest peak is Mt Kosciuszko at 2228 m), low lattitude, and prevailing weather patterns. It is common for one year to be poor, while the very next year is a bumper season. Therefore, it's wise to be prepared for the worst and have other activities available to make the most of your holiday.
More than 250 ski lifts have operated in Australia at various times. A list of every tow, past and present is here.
One thing that many NSW folk never get their head around in Victoria, although once they return to civilisation the two people who gave the matter the slightest consideration realise how unimportant it is, is the difference between a Resort Management Board and a Lift Company. They are quite separate entities with different purposes.

Getting there
Australia can be an expensive country to reach due to its isolation, so be prepared to pay for expensive air tickets. The main tourists visiting Australia are Chinese, Japanese, European and American citizens. The majority of visitors travel by air, but cruise ships regulary visit Australia as a stop-over. International ferries in Australia are largely non-existant.
Visas and documentation
Tourists from countries that are part of the Visa Waver Program can enter Australia for up to 90 days without a visa. Be sure to check with the nearest Australian Consulate (Embassy) to find out if you are eligable to enter the country, or visit the Department of Immigration and Citizenship
Australia has many entry ports to get into the country legally. The three main hubs are Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney Airports. All Australian international airports have duty-free shops, airline lounges, waiting area, food courts in their "International Zone", automatic teller machines, washrooms, and frequent transport shuttles to and from airport and CBD.
Sydney 'Kingsford Smith' Airport
Apparently the airport has won awards, however arriving in Sydney on an International flight can result in a significant wait to get through immigration, and another long wait for Customs.
The main problem with this is the seemingly total inability of the Airport Authority to provide adequate airconditioning in these areas. So, sorry.
Fortunately once past customs, you have several options to get out of the airport; bus (shuttle), train, taxi and hire car. The train may sound good, but it is bloody expensive and you still have to get from the stations to your destination! If there is more than one of you, and you are going to the city, a cab could be the best bet.
The International and Domestic terminals are physically separated - if you are transferring to a domestic flight, you will need to catch a shuttle bus to the domestic terminal. Check with your (domestic) airline for more information.
Customs and quarantine
Due to Australia's isolation from the rest of the world, Australia has some of the toughest quarantine laws in the world. So it is important to check with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry to find out what food product is allowed into the country and what is strictly prohibited.
"Nature made Australia unique - Quarantine keeps it that way", You would see this quote plastered around the airports on arrival, so please co-operate with the Customs in order to protect this unique ancient environment. If you don't, you face hefy fines up to $500,000 and a long prison sentence, and the possiblity of starring on 'Border Security'.
Tasmania has its own quarantine system to protect it from nasties that occur on the mainland. Don't take fruit, vegies and some types of meat to Tassie or those cute Beagles that run all over your luggage will find it and you will be hit with a big fine.

Food and Drink
Food and Drinks in Australia tend to be very international. It is not rare to find a cafe that sells Asian alongside with traditional foods such as pizza.
Food in Melbourne tend to be very high quality and cheap. There are almost 1,000 cafes and restaurants to choose from that suit your taste or budget. Travel to Lygon Street in Carlton for some fine Italian foods or head to Londsdale Street in the CBD for some Greek celebration (make sure that the restaurant that you are at allows you to break their plates before actually doing so!).
Melbourne is famous for their coffee addiction. Melburnians like quality coffee, so it would be rare to find a cafe that is using nescafe to make their coffee. There is a wide range of different coffees that you can choose from in an average cafe such as latte, short black, long black, babychino (for the little children since it is just the milk frothing), many other types of coffees.
Sydney, while not as exquisite as Melbourne, but not far behind, has a large range of excellent eateries scattered around the CBD for a hungry traveller ranging from budget to fine dining. Restaurants with a view of the world famous Sydney Harbour are mainly found at Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay and the King Street Wharf all placed on the water edge. Restaurants at The Rocks and Circular Quay are also worth a mention as they have an extraordinary view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.
Hobart has two locations with a good range of eateries. Salamanca Place is a charming tourist trap, but it is the sort of place that you'd like to be trapped in. North Hobart has a good range of cafes and restaurants and is more of a hang out for locals.
Canberra has a number of locations for dining. The main areas tend to be Civic, Kingston/Manuka and Dickson although most major suburban areas have restaurants available.
Most people in Australia get around by using their car as their main form of transport. Most of the public transport use happens during the "peak hour" in the urban centres around Australia.
The roads in Australia are comparable to the rest of the world. A driver traveling between major regional centres would not be likely to face any significant problem, as the main regional highways are maintained at the highest standard possible.
In Victoria, the roads with the highest quality would be the 'A' roads linking the major urban centres, such as 'A1' linking Traralgon with Bairnsdale. Linking the small regional towns with population of 2,000-5,000 people would be the 'B' roads, for example 'B300' links Melbourne Eastern Suburbs to a small town of Mansfield. Lowest quality roads are the 'C' roads, their functions are connector roads, creating a link between two roads, or is an access to a small town less than 2,000 people. However, some 'C' roads are an exception in terms of road quality such as the roads leading up to the ski resorts.
All mainland ski resorts in Australia have sealed roads with adequate protections such as crash barriers. Main roads to the resorts are snow-cleared in winter, however back roads and private roads may take a day or two to be cleared after a heavy fall.
Car Hire/Rental
Renting a car for your traveling purposes or sight seeing is a popular form of tourism in Australia. The positives include the freedom of no timetables, schedules and storage. On the other hand, Car hire companies tend to cost more than other conventional means of transportation. Use a comparison tool like that at Discovery Car Hire to find the cheapest prices. Most major car hire companies are also stationed at the major airports in Australia, to make booking rather easy.
Using rail as a mean of transport in Australia is possible, but can get a bit expensive at times and often involves inconsistent timetables. Security on the trains are sometimes questionable, but generally, it is a safe place. A train is used to access much of Perisher ski resort in New South Wales, although that train is a couple of hundred kilometres from the rest of the rail network. Rail is not a viable way of getting to the ski fields in Australia.
Metropolitan Networks
Rail in the state capitals are often reliable enough to use on a day by day basis. The two biggest rail networks in Australia are in Sydney and Melbourne. The minor rail networks are in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Melbourne is the only city in Australia that has a reliable and comprehensive tram network used for non-tourist reasons, although Adelaide and Sydney have one tram line each.
Air (domestic)
Traveling by air in Australia shouldn't be much of a problem. The three main airlines in Australia are QANTAS, Virgin Blue and JetStar. One ski resort, Hotham, is linked by air to Melbourne and Sydney.
Getting To Australian Snowfields
Driving to the NSW and Victorian resorts are two different experiences. This reflects the fact that the major access to NSW resorts is from the east, and to Victorian resorts is from the west. The western side of the range is much steeper and more rugged than the eastern side.
Access to NSW resorts is on good roads with relatively gentle curves. The speed limit is 80 km/hr in the National Park and, with good road conditions, there is no reason why you can't do that speed for the majority of the trip. It is rare for it to be necessary to fit chains into Thredbo or to the bottom of the Skitube.
Access to the Victorian resorts is steeper, and via 'interesting' roads with many hairpin bends. Because the Hotham village is at the top of the hill it is often necessary to fit chains. (Remember it is compulsory to carry chains in Victoria whether or not you have a 4WD. Carrying chains in NSW is also compulsory for 2WD vehicles in most parts of the National Park)
In Victoria there are usually a choice of routes, depending on factors like where you are leaving from and whether you are in a hurry or want to admire the scenery. Some of the most popular are covered in Driving from Melbourne
From Sydney there are no real sensible variations now that there is divided road to Canberra, (except for the perennial "how to avoid Canberra - Queanbeyan or the airport" controversy) Drive to Jindabyne, and follow your nose is the only advice you need.
Access to the two Tasmanian resorts is quite different. The small Mt Mawson 'club field' near Hobart has a relatively easy drive to the main carpark (albeit on a gravel road), followed by a 20 minute walk to the tows. By contast, you can drive right to the tows at the larger Ben Lomond resort near Launceston, but the road climbs the infamous Jacob's Ladder. Essentially it goes straight up a cliff with some truly hairy hairpin bends.
When driving in the high country during winter, it is not uncommon to encounter 'black ice' well below the snowline, where water on the road has frozen overnight forming patches of invisible ice. Be wary of sharp and off camber corners, expecially if they are shaded from the morning sun.
You can fly to an airport 20 km away from Hotham by commercial or charter flight.
Cooma is the nearest airport to the NSW resorts. It was serviced by Rex Airlines with regular flights in and out of the airport each day. A shuttle will meet the flight, and the airport is about an hour+ drive from the resort. In 2008 there will be no flights into Cooma, and Canberra is the nearest airport.
For air travel to Falls Creek you can fly into Albury, but you are still 1.5 hours from the hill. Regular coaches visit the resort from Albury.
A number of coach companies run regular shuttles from Sydney and Canberra to NSW resorts, including Greyhound, Murrays, and Transboarder. They will drop you at Jindabyne, Bullocks Flat (for the ski tube to Perisher), and Thredbo, but sadly not at your door.
Snow alliance is a bunch of local operators working hard to get you to the snow (via bus or shuttle )at the best price. http://www.snowalliance.com.au They offer canberra airport transfers to your door and shuttles from Jindabyne to Perisher but if you are coming from the airport book them direct to avoid a transfer at Jindabyne. They cost around the same as the large coach companies but you get less people on the bus and great personal service. They are also very helpful if you have any general questions. They live in the area and know most options.
Technology and Networks
The communication network in Australia is excellent, but the Internet speed is lagging 5 years behind majority of the other Western Countries.
Mobile coverage in Australia is fairly random due to the vastness of the country side. When travelling in the outback it is wise to carry a satellite phone for emergencies due to lack of population. All major ski resorts have good to excellent coverage by the major mobile networks such as Telstra, Optus and Vodaphone.
In the Eastern states (Vic, NSW and Qld), mobile phone coverage is often widespread and numerous along the major highways linking cities.
Every state capital in Australia has a full mobile phone coverage, so chances of losing contact is very slim when you are in the city.
In Jindabyne localy based Carrier/ISP Airlan provides wireless WiFi prepaid internet hotspots in Jindabyne, Perisher Vally, Thredbo, Smiggin Hole and most of the major hotel and motels. Excelent coverage with hotspots in local coffee shops and rental properties. airlan.com.au.
One form of Tax is the "Goods and Services Tax" (GST) which is imposed onto almost all products that you buy from a shop, except fresh food. The GST is included in the price of goods (unless there is a specific reservation), so that the price on an article is the price you pay. The GST also applies to services such as the provision of accommodation, lift tickets, lessons and everything else. As with goods, the price quoted or displayed is almost always inclusive of GST, so nothing is added.
For large purchases, you can get the GST refunded at the point of departure by providing a receipt.
Credit Cards
The major credit cards are generally accepted in Australia. Very few places don't accept credit cards. If paying for your accommodation via credit, be sure to check if they accept credit card, particulary American Express or Diners. Some smaller accommodations will not accept them.
ATMs can be frequently found in cities and most small towns.
Cheques (Checks)
Cheques (or checks if you are American) are NOT a common form of payment in Australia. Many places will not accept cheques, while others will require significant ID and / or charge a surcharge to process them.
Attempting to pay with a cheque at the supermarket will earn you some very strange looks!
Unlike North America, tips are not 'required' as a supplement to the staff wage; service industry staff are generally paid a little better than they are overseas when compared to the cost of living. Most Australians will only tip for good service; adequate or substandard service does not, and should not receive a tip.
Australians generally don't tip as much as in North America and Europe. However it is a good idea to shout a round of beer a few times (although why this constitutes a tip is a mystery).
It is conventional to tip 10%+ in restaurants and to leave small change on the bar for the bar staff. Rounding taxi fares up is common as (mirabilis) is taxi drivers rounding fares down.
Or give actual tips, such as 'Don't hold your nose while you sneeze' if you want to look like a fool.
Health and Safety
Australia has a nationalised health care system. Any person will be able to receive excellent quality emergency care without being asked for insurance details beforehand. Foreigners who are not from a country with reciprocal medical arrangements will still be charged for the services, so get that Travel Insurance to be on the safe side!
Emergency Numbers
- '000' is the nationwide Emergency phone number for Fire, Police or Ambulance services. It is for immediate emergencies only.
- Mobile phones can dial 112 if for some reason you are unable to connect with 000.
- Non critical situations(e.g. break and enter) should be rung through on the Police Attendance Line - 131 444.
Medical Centres
Medical Centres are available at every commercially operated resort in Australia. Australian medical standards are amongst the highest in the world and resort medical centres are no exception.
Natural Disasters
Australia is a hostile place for people to live. Australia is known for the bushfires that often rage the scorched earth, and cyclones that can scour the top half of the countries coastline.
Droughts in Australia are common, so it is important to conserve water by limiting waste.
Crime exists everywhere, Australia is no exception. Even though many Australians are fair and honest, their are some members of the public who are ready to act out a crime such as mugging, pick pocketing and breaking into unlocked areas such as houses and cars. So one of the common advice is don't leave the car or house unlocked unattended. It is also recommenced that you make sure that valuable items are hidden from view to deter potential thieves from breaking in. Overall, Australia is regarded as a safe place.
Australian snowfields offer seasonal employment opportunities for a wide range of positions from instructors to hospitality. Find out more about Australian alpine jobs.

The small towns of Whatcom County are all unique, each having their own issues and visions of their futures. Still, it is all too common to have only a few old diehards sit in their elective offices for years and not pursue those visions. So it was very encouraging last week to see a large number of candidates file to represent the residents of these towns on their councils and as mayors. In order to offer a knowledgeable overview, we are providing the information below from a former NWCitizen writer familiar with our small city politics. As a note, each of the three cities of Blaine, Ferndale and Lynden have city councils of seven seats.
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises from filing week, that shouldn't be a surprise, is the wave of small-city council candidates. This is where some of the fiercest electoral battles will be waged and decided by a only a handful of voters, but these candidates go on to become our next county officials, state legislators and congresspeople. The decisions they make can chart the course of a community or slow it to a crawl.
In Lynden, home to arguably the most boring council meetings in the county (some clocking in at a mighty 15 minutes gavel-to-gavel), of the four council seats up for election, every single race is contested, with incumbents facing numerous challengers. Most notably, three women are seeking to join the all-male council: entrepreneur Nikki Turner is challenging Lynden dynasty Gary Bode, Kris DeGroot is taking on Bode's right-hand man Ron DeValois, and Lynden liquor store owner Jen Marion is looking to bump off incumbent Brent Lenssen. This would represent a drastic departure for the Lynden City Council which hasn't had a female member elected to it since 1995 and 1999.* They will be facing off over police staffing levels, a new city park, and the potential departure of embattled City Administrator Mike Martin.
In Ferndale, the fast-evolving city has been thrown into political chaos this year due to the resignation of two council members. As a result, there are six council seats and the mayor's position up for election this year. Three council incumbents are seeking higher office, with Rebecca Xczar running for County Assessor and Greg Hansen and Keith Olson running against incumbent Jon Mutchler for the mayor's seat, where they are joined by restaurant owner Robert Pinkley and reclusive author Daniel Sydney Henvenor. With so many open seats, fifteen candidates have stepped forward for those six seats, triggering three primaries.
These council candidates reflect the changing face of Ferndale, with two Latino, one Punjabi, one Russian, and a member of Lummi Nation as candidates. Ferndale remains the most demographically diverse city in Whatcom County and it is encouraging to potentially see the council reflect that diversity. These candidates will be discussing the rising cost of utility services, a downtown catalyst program, and a future site for City Hall.
In Blaine, three council seats are up for election. County Charter Review member Richard May is facing off against Randy Roose, owner of Birch Bay Lawn Care for a City Council seat while four candidates face-off for the seat vacated by Jaime Arnett, who is running for the newly created coastal County Council seat. Discussions will revolve around tourism, investments in local trails, a multi-family tax exemption, and ongoing zoning issues.
Usually, these small-city council races are quiet affairs between extremely part-time candidates, however the influx of new residents into the county - forced by sky-high property values in Bellingham - is impacting the political landscape of these small towns. No longer content to leave city business to the same good-old-boys network that has controlled these bodies for a generation, new residents are rolling up their sleeves and jumping into the fray.
No matter how these races sort out, it is encouraging to see so many citizens willing to step forward and get involved in their local government, providing new ideas in these rapidly changing communities.
All our communities have issues that benefit from public discussion, and election campaigns force those issues into the open as candidates vie for office. When primary elections are triggered, the candidates are forced to deal with issues in July and not wait until late October.

Burn These Eyes Captain, and Throw Them in the Sea!!
Rodeo Gallery, Istanbul, Turkey
14 November 2013 – 8 February, 2014
The new group show presented by Rodeo Gallery, Burn These Eyes Captain, and Throw Them in the Sea!!, gathers some works by artists who decided to look at useless things discarded during everyday life and contemplated the metamorphosis in their shape and function after they become finished products. Goods become a medium to experience the performativity of production and their simple classification determines just a stage in a process of endless transformations.
Leads the way a body of works by the late Běla Kolářová, questioning more or less stereotyped aspects and representations of femininity with her painterly use of cosmetics. A similar use of commodities is chosen by Ian Law, who uses fridge doors to create neat juxtapositions of simple forms, while the work of Eloise Hawser takes a slightly different perspective on the second life of industrial products, playing around the coexistence of the manufactured and the handmade with a composition made of shower doors and a proposal for a corporate office space. A series of Tamara Henderson's paintings engages with the use of coarse and bristly matte surfaces—courageous materials if one considers the title, Corpse Reviver Suite, referring to a cocktail said to be lost in time and able to make things better or to 'less worsen' them. The small sculptures of Ron Nagle conceptually close the circuit, rendering an eclectic and original body of works, build in many years of painstaking research.
It is in a mix of different ages, birthplaces, and styles, that a common research brings together these works, which, curated together into a new view on materials, succeed in strengthening a confident effort in a playful craftsmanship.

Remembrance Day
Web posted on November 10, 2017
When I was an undergraduate back in the 1960s - that was when the war in Viet Nam was giving soldiering a bad name - the pacifists and draft dodgers who came to UBC liked to quote the promise from the prophet Micah about a day when "they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks", a day when "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Micah 4:3).
I got caught up in their thinking for a while, until I realized that we had not only been reading Micah out of context, but had also secularized his vision. Even a cursory reading of Micah should have been enough to show that we had badly misunderstood the prophet's vision: we had radically secularized it, thinking we were able to bring it to pass by human effort without much reference to God.
Preaching during the latter decades of the 8th Century BC and just into the 7th, Micah (along with his elder colleague Isaiah) was the conscience of the kingdom of Judah. He was a thorn in the side to the priests, the business community, and the politicians. He saw how Judah's Northern neighbor, Israel, had been conquered by the Assyrian army, and how the Assyrians had dispersed the Israelites throughout the Assyrian Empire. He said that that had happened to the Israelites because they had neglected the religion, morality, business ethics, and political ideals that they had received from God through Moses. Micah warned his fellow Judeans that, unless they cleaned up their religion, morality, ethics, and politics, God would likewise reduce "Jerusalem to a heap of rubble, and Zion to a plowed field" (3:12). Of course, Judah's leaders disdained Micah's advice, and a century later his predictions came true.
The next 700 years were a time of recurring wars and conquests. The Assyrians were subsequently conquered by the Babylonians, who destroyed Jerusalem and took the people of Judah into exile. The Babylonians in turn were conquered by the Persians, who set the Judean exiles free. Then the Persians were conquered by Alexander's Greeks, who gave the Mediterranean world the universal language in which the New Testament would be written. And after Alexander's death, his empire was fragmented among his generals, and eventually fell to the Romans, who built the roads by which that New Testament was spread throughout the known world.
Micah says that the beating of swords into ploughshares will occur "in the last days", or "in the latter days" - literally, "at the end of days" (4:1). It's clear that Micah's swords-into-plowshares world was going to be a long way off - at the end of time. When the end does come, Micah says, the God and the faith of the Jewish people will be sought-after worldwide. "Come," the nations of the world will say, "let us go up to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths" (4:2).
Only after the nations of the world acknowledge "the law that goes forth from Zion" will it come to pass that "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war anymore." Only after the nations acknowledge "the word of the LORD that goes forth from Jerusalem" (4:2) will every man "sit under his own vine and his own fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid" (4:4).
That was Micah's view in 700 BC. But how did he think that might come to pass among a people who were few in number, politically divided, militarily vulnerable, and largely unfaithful to the covenant that God had given them? You and I have often heard Micah's answer to that question, but even though it comes in the very next chapter, I doubt that many of us have ever made the connexion:
"But you, O Bethlehem-Ephrathah, who are [almost] too small to be [counted] among the clans of Judah: Out of you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days. Therefore [God] will put things on hold (Heb: give them over) until the time when she who is in labor has given birth. Then the rest of his brethren shall return to the people of Israel. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth. And he shall be their peace" (Micah 5:2f; compare Matthew 2:6).
Advent begins three weeks from this Sunday. In three weeks Christians will begin to celebrate, in confident anticipation, the peace that Remembrance Day looks forward to. That peace can be found only in Jesus. Individually, we can even now enter into that peace by faith; but as a universal reality it's still in the future. Jesus said, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet" (Matthew 24:6).
Like our changing climate and the shifting tectonic plates of the earth's crust, the history of nations is in constant flux. When St Paul was in Athens addressing the Council of the Areopagus, he told them: "The God who made the world and all things in it -he who is Lord of heaven and earth - who gives life and breath and all things to all people - he created all nations to dwell over all the earth, fixing the allotted times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, so that they would seek after God, and perhaps [even] find him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:25-27).
That is the Bible's philosophy of history. It says that all nations have a shelf-life, with changeable geographic boundaries and limited time-spans. We've seen how the maps of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East have changed in our lifetime. Some of us remember a day when the wall maps at school showed all the British Empire in pink. There's not much pink any more. In the flux of war and peace, of political and demographic change, the Biblical writers see God at work in history with one over-riding purpose: that we should seek, find, and build our lives and our eternity on the unchanging God who came to us at Bethlehem in the person of Jesus, who in the midst of all the flux is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Even Canada and the USA are not exempt from the judgments of God in history. So if we really appreciate our veterans - those who, whatever their personal views, gave their all for freedom and peace - we owe it to them to conduct our political, commercial, and personal affairs in a way that will, under God, prolong the shelf-life of this nation. And once again, the prophet Micah tells us how: "He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8). "For all the nations walk, each in the name of their god, but we [Canadians, including our government] will walk [publicly and unapologetically] in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever" (4:5).

It was disconcerting Tuesday morning to walk downtown through the Hub, a big intersection that is crammed with people waving placards for every cause and candidate every election day. The Hub was deserted. Certainly our small town in its deep blue bubble was not a place to expend national resources, but no one? Not even people vying for highly competitive local races? It was as if the election weren't even happening, except for a Trump/Pence bumper sticker on a parked truck a block away, and a handmade poster complete with horns and a pitchfork that read "Hellary 2016."
Despite these ominous signs, I was sure I'd be celebrating the election of our first female president that night. The polls were looking pretty good, despite the FBI's damaging salvo. During my final phone banking shift, when we were making calls to Florida, one supporter I spoke to told me her seven-year-old daughter's class held a mock election, and Hillary had won in a landslide.
Then came another inkling of trouble that I also dismissed. A man told me that his first-grader was one of only ten Hillary voters in her classroom's poll. "This is a blue county," he said, "And Trump blew her out of the water. I am so frightened." I told him about the woman I'd just talked with, reassuring myself if not him. A few hours later, as I headed off to our friend's house with a plate of scrumptious chocolate layer bars and a bottle of bubbly, the closeness of the Virginia returns was worrisome. But I told myself that the northern suburbs had not yet come in, and remained confident.
As we tuned in to MSNBC, CNN, even Fox, looking for a different reality than the one that seemed to be unfolding, I started fielding texts from our daughter:
"Keep the faith," I texted back. "It will just be closer and a longer night than we'd hoped."
Two hours later, as Stephen Colbert's national wake ended on Showtime, I had dropped all optimism, all pretense of maternal comfort, unless "Fucking unbelievable" counts as reassurance.
Our host took the dog out to pee, and upon his return reported that the party at the neighbor's house seemed oddly raucous, unlike our gloomy gathering. My husband and I left a bit before 10:00, still with no verdict, but with our champagne unpopped and our hearts broken. Some people were leaving the party across the street, and we heard a voice call out, "White men rule!" We tried to convince ourselves that we might have said the same thing in an ironic attempt at gallows humor. But we could not deny that they were celebrating, while we were in shock and mourning.
I know that I must engage in soul-searching to understand what I missed, and why. I must acknowledge my own failures of empathy, my candidate's poor choices, the legitimate concerns of those who voted for her opponent. There are a million different converging factors that have resulted in this outcome, and I know that blaming it on racism and misogyny is overly simplistic and insulting. Still, it is naive to deny the powerful influence of these virulent strains. They are here in my own backyard.
This is our deep blue bubble. This is my deep denial. This is where we live.
What was your election day and night like?

Some notable observers have declared that "knowledge management is dead," that it is an old, tired concept that creates little to no value in organizations. This drumbeat of negativity is misguided. On the contrary, knowledge management (KM) has evolved and matters more than ever to all types of companies and organizations.
Knowledge Matters
Roughly 70 percent of the valuation of public companies today comes from intangible assets, and one of the most important assets is an organization's knowledge. It is the intellectual property created in R&D labs, insights on customer trends gleaned by marketing, new cost-reduction practices found on the shop floor, and the collective experience of the organization's people. Knowledge workers are creating and discovering knowledge every day, and are conversely also seeking knowledge from others both inside and outside the organization.
Many organizations have mobilized to apply this knowledge to continuous learning and new value to deliver faster growth, more efficient and cost-effective operations, higher-quality products and services, and greater human resource development. These efforts have become more deliberate since knowledge management emerged as a management concept in the 1990s, with organizations of all sizes investing significant amounts in people, processes, and technologies.

HR Assignment Help
Human resource is an essential part of any business organization. Every organization needs multiple resources to carry out business out of which human workforce is of utmost importance. Human resource is nothing but the personnel in a company that is skilled, trained, has knowledge and experience. Human Resource is also known as Human Capital but Human Capital is a rather narrow concept than Human Resource.
Business organizations, especially corporates have the same outlook to their employees as other assets of the company and invest in the enhancement of their skills and training through various development programs. This development field is widely known as human resource development.
Governing trend in HR trends
Diversity in workforce is a growing trend in the current times in all organizations. While focusing on hiring skilled and experienced personnel, companies are putting a special focus on maintaining a balance between diverse genders, race and nationalities. This not only helps in using the perspectives and knowledge of all such employees but also promotes internationalization at the workplace.
The demographics of an organization illustrate and cover various characteristics of a certain population such as education, nationality, ethnicity, etc. and greatly affect the hiring strategies of a company as well as the salaries and pensions of the employees.
Qualification and Skills
Human Resource and workforce are a huge investment for any business organization. Hence, regardless of the situations any company lays special emphasis on the knowledge, qualifications, and skills of an individual before hiring him for the benefit of the organization.
Human Resource is a basic foundation for various other wider and complex fields such as human resource development and human resource management. Our tutors can assist on various topics related to these other fields as well.

So it was time to crank up the kiln and get that torch lit. It was lots of work, and I had to put the oil paints up for a few days, but I had lots of fun. I always enjoy using my powertools. Almost all the earrings are reversible, so you get two pairs in one. I try to use black enamel on several. Oh, I endulged myself with a necklace, as seen on the photo, and a couple of pairs of earrings (Not shown. I forgot to photograph them.)

Mobile Apps Compete for Holiday Downloads
Facebook emerging as key app discovery engine
Christmas morning is a gift to app developers. Once folks unwrap their new tablets or smartphones, among the first things they do is load them up with apps.
"My understanding is that December is the largest month in the [Apple] App Store for traffic," said Daniel Raffel, founder and CEO of how-to app Snapguide, which released its iPhone version in the spring. Given that attention, there's plenty of jockeying for attention in the App Store or Google Play during the holidays. Heightening the frenzy is the fact that Apple closes its App Store to new apps or updates on December 21 and doesn't open again until after the holidays. Little wonder that many developers release new apps or significantly update their existing efforts before the holidays in order to refresh their profiles.
"The holidays are a big time for us to market given that there are a lot of new devices gifted over Christmas in addition to iTunes gift cards that people need to use," said Sho Masuda, vp of marketing at mobile social gaming network GREE International. Mobile gaming ad network Chartboost runs an ad marketplace spanning more than 8,000 mobile games and saw a 50 percent increase in overall game boot-ups in the U.S. alone on Thanksgiving Day. The company expects an even larger increase over Christmas and Hanukkah. And with increased demand, comes increased ad prices. The cost to acquire a new user shot up 6.1 percent from November to December, according to Chartboost.
However it's not about acquiring just any user. On Thursday GREE launched a new iOS game, Knights & Dragons: Rise of the Dark Prince, and Masuda said the game's advertising objective prioritizes the lifetime value per install versus the initial cost per install. "Basically, we strive to invest in networks that will bring potential spenders or users who will refer high-engagement users to our titles," he said.
An overlooked network—with all the attention on the app stores and in-app banners—that GREE invests in to promote its apps is search. Last year Google saw a more than 70 percent year-over-year increase in searches for "best tablet apps" and a 37 percent jump for "free phone apps," said Brendon Kraham, Google's director of global mobile sales and strategy. Google runs two ad products to get app developers present for those queries. App extension appears as a normal paid search result but includes a image and link to the Apple App Store or Google Play. Click-to-download ads drive traffic straight to Google Play.
While it's not surprising to see online advertising kingpins search and display attract developers' promotional attentions in addition to app store discovery, social is emerging as a fourth tentpole that blends all three of the others. Similar to how Facebook became a leading traffic driver for online publishers, the social network is becoming a new way to surface and draw attention to mobile apps. The Apple App Store and Google Play each spotlight apps and host directory-like search services, but "Facebook is playing in the same space as web, bringing interesting apps directly to your feed from your friends," said Doug Purdy, director of developer products at Facebook.
"Last month we drove 183 million clicks from the News Feed to the Apple App Store and Google Play," said Purdy. Bolstering Facebook's role is its deepening ties with app developers. Of the top 400 grossing iOS apps, 50 percent integrate with Facebook, including eight of the top 10, Purdy said. "Our goal is to be the number one source of traffic to [the Apple App Store] and Google Play," Purdy said.
But Facebook can really solidify its stature in the mobile app discovery market through its App Center and mobile app install ads. While Raffel said App Center hasn't performed as highly as expected in driving conversions for Snapguide and he has yet to try out the mobile app install ads, "my expectations are fairly high," he said.
Social ad firm Nanigans had tested the ad product early on and said in October that the mobile app install ads drove 13 to 17 times higher CTRs than Facebook desktop ads and garnered eight to 10 times the reach of mobile ad buys on other channels. And a recent update should drive even higher conversions. Mobile app install ads can now bring the app install window directly inside the Facebook app, said Purdy.
"You can literally install the app inside of Facebook itself," he said. That is to say, the News Feed is becoming the new app store.

Hair is often seen as a symbol of virility or femininity and considered by many to be an important asset for attracting the opposite sex. So what can you do if your hair is thinning? No worries! We have great styling tips for you.
Choosing the right haircut
Is your hair thin or sparse? Do you have a receding hairline? The easiest and most cost-effective solution is to accept the situation and choose a haircut that will work for you. Easier said than done, but definitely possible!
Gentlemen, if you have been hiding under a baseball cap, we have a few haircut options to help you embrace your new look. Here's a hint: keep it short!
Shaved head. This slightly radical choice makes life so much easier and is ideal for men with more advanced hair loss. Sported by many celebrities, the look is popular with the ladies.
Buzz cut. Just as easy to style, the buzz cut is not quite as drastic, yet super manly.
Caesar cut. With a large fringe styled in a forward direction, this cut is perfect for men who are losing their hair at the front.
The messy, layered cut. This cut is great for men not quite ready to go super short and whose hair loss is minimal. You just mess it up and go. The perfect camouflage!
The main idea is to steer clear of haircuts with lengths meant to cover balding areas. Go short, focus on styling it well and, if you want, try a beard. There's nothing like a goatee or some three-day stubble to draw attention away from thinning hair.
For women, hair loss is a bit tougher to manage. Here too, your hair stylist is a valuable ally. Here are a few avenues you can explore with him or her.
Adjust the length. Short and mid-length cuts make it easier to conceal thinning areas. Plus, they are easy to style and leave hair looking healthy.
Turn up the volume. For more fullness, apply a volumizing mousse, blow dry your hair with your head upside down and create beautiful curls. You'll make a great impression with thicker-looking hair!
Part your hair on the opposite side. This simple trick can help you get a bit more volume and hide sparser areas.
Go lighter. Just by going from medium brown to light brown, for instance, you can soften the contrast between the colour of your scalp and that of your hair. Three cheers for optical illusions!
Grow bangs. Wide bangs that extend back toward the crown will look great and hide any hair loss along the way.
How to thwart thinning hair
Of course, there are other ways to tackle hair loss. Here are some of them:
- Keratin microfibers. It's a powder that matches your hair colour. You shake it a few centimeters from your scalp after styling to instantly add volume and fullness to your hair. A special hairspray is then used to fix the microfibers in place. They can be removed simply by shampooing.
- Wigs. Today's wigs look extremely natural. But be prepared to pay a premium price for a wig made of natural hair.
- Minoxidil. This over-the-counter medication approved by Health Canada was originally formulated to treat high blood pressure, but was found to stimulate hair growth. To learn more about this treatment, speak with your family pharmacist.
- Hair transplants. A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves taking resistant hair follicles at the back of the head and transplanting them to the balding areas. While expensive, this option provides permanent results.
Quick tip!
Massaging your scalp increases blood and oxygen supply to the area, which stimulates the growth of new hair.

Sunday brushes off the dust of another week
New photo's of an old room for your entertainment. M & M came by last week and helped tape and paint the "horrid white room" and turned it into a picture of spring. I love the Midori tone to this color. It makes the room shine.
This is the almost finished product. I'm re-varnishing the floors right now, then we can put the furniture back in. I need to get curtains and a comforter to match the room, put up a few pictures and some knickknacks on the shelves and we've got ourselves a great spare bedroom.
This is a beautiful glass piece we got to add to the living room. I love it. Made in Spain from recycled glass we picked it up for next to nothing. We got 75% off the 50% off the 20% off the original price. I love Art Van for things like this. They buy tons of it to make their showrooms look good then move them to a corner of the Clearance Center where they keep getting marked down. Most people wouldn't have looked twice at this bottle #1, cause it's huge, it stands even with our fourth stair riser, #2 it was a weird color in the store. The fluorescent lighting made the white swirls a dingy grey color. I almost passed it by too. Something in it interested me though so I took it outside to see it in natural light and it was beautiful, heavy, but beautiful. I love buying special things for my home and not paying a small fortune for them.
And now my favorite part of the show….. my Orchid garden. How wonderful it is to wake up every morning to see this amazing array of orchids. Every morning greeted by the promise of spring, especially with the thick snowfall in the background.
It was a rough end to the week. We had everything planned to head south to visit C & L and the Grands but I got stomach flu again. I even volunteered to go to the doctors it was so bad. I knew what she would say, "Plenty of liquids, B.R.A.T. diet (banana, rice, applesauce, toast)". I usually fight going to the doctors but I've been so sick so often lately it's starting to bother me. I know my immune system is shot which makes it less enjoyable to go out and do things when you know you are going to end up sick in a few days. Even something as an innocuous as going to a comedy club will bring me to my knees. It just sucks.
OMG, new reality show alert, or maybe it's old and I'm just behind, whatever. It's a reality show about biker gangs and their funny wars. The show I watched showed rival gangs fighting over the colors they get to wear. Big, tough, biker dudes gonna duke it out over the colors. Seems kinda girly to me. So did the fight scenes. I've fought tougher girls in the day.
Nine am dentist appointment tomorrow. Last two fillings and a cleaning. Yippee. Then Thurs. I get my CT scan after three months without chemo. I've enjoyed the three months free of chemicals, but I'm ready to do what my doctor tells me to do. And that's stretching for me. Giving that much power to someone. Scary.
OK, I'm off to seek refuge from this hectic mind whirl with slumber, or perhaps a brownie then slumber. Peace out all.

Wendy Mueller
Licensee Salesperson
Wendy Mueller is one of four salespeople completing the strong team at Ray White Drury, the latest proud addition to Sue Douglas's flourishing real estate family tree. She transferred from the Pukekohe branch in March, due to a strong desire to be involved in both residential and rural real estate. Living in the surrounding areas for many years, now in the Bombay Hills, she has all the local knowledge to do just that.
Her diverse and interesting career history tells you a lot about Wendy's capabilities. A hard worker from the start, she secured herself a job at just 14, working at a busy city movie theatre. She began building her customer service skills behind the candy bar, and ushering where required, getting promoted to a manager's role at 17.
The next phase of life centred around marrying and raising her brood of three daughters, both here and abroad. Once settled back in New Zealand, she and her husband started a commercial glasshouse company, which they ran for 15 years. Wendy took on all the administrative responsibilities that a business requires; accounts, customer service, enquiries, wages, and just about anything else that was needed. When it was time to move on, Wendy changed tack. Applying for her bar manager's licence, she managed a popular South Auckland bar and entertainment venue for the next 10 years. Not always an easy job, Wendy's employers highly respected her easy going manner with customers, honesty, approachability and reliability.
In 1999, she joined Baxter Healthcare as a Pharmacy Technician, once again demonstrating her ability to adapt to change and apply herself to anything. Different to anything she'd done previously, Wendy's job required full accountability, working with medications and precise calculations. Her role put her in charge of maintaining the strictest of quality control, often with demanding timeframes. Proving herself entirely capable of working under pressure, she stayed in the role for 15 years, before deciding to leave the laboratory in search of some sunshine, fresh air and social contact, in the big wide world of real estate.
Very family minded, Wendy spends most of her downtime with her daughters and extended family. A very generous person, she loves to take them travelling, with a trip planned for Melbourne in the near future. Also involved in her community, she belongs to The Franklin Bridge Club and the local Rotary, volunteering hours which recently contributed to raising $15,000 for a van for the special needs facility, Parkside.

Trespassing can be defined as entering an owner's land or property without permission. In some cases, trespassing becomes aggravated trespassing when you threaten to injure someone physically prior to entering their home or work place without permission.
Because of the different types of trespassing, there are both criminal and civil trespassing laws. California Penal Code 602 PC, or California trespass laws, set out several different situations in which an offense of trespass may take place. If you are interested in learning more about the potential behaviors that can lead to criminal trespass charges, please contact our office and we can review this matter with you.
If you are facing trespassing charges, you are not out of luck. An experienced criminal attorney can help develop strategies and defenses that can be used against the charges you may be facing. If you need to discuss potential defenses, please contact our office as soon as possible. Some of the potential legal defenses that can be used to help protect someone against trespassing charges include, but are not limited to:

I need a few laborers to clean up my yard, weed, pull up dead bushes, trim healthy ones, rake beds and possibly mulch
Lawn Service or Landscaping would be the Search the List category for this - probably Lawn Service for just cleanup type work, if the shrubs need professional trimming or shaping then probably a Landscaping firm with arborist on staff.
I would NOT just hire a few day laborers - a LOT of liability there and technically you have to provide Worker's Compensation and such - homeowner's insurance does not (without paying for supplemental coverages) cover you for employee health or injury issues or liability if they sue you. And there are some "day laboreres" out there now (individual and gang/organized crime related) who make a living hiring out to people for this sort of work and then faking injuries on the job, then threaten to sue and extort substntial $ to not sue or report the homeowner for not providing required worker's comp coverage and state disability tax payments and such. You should really hire a licensed and bonded and insured contractor (bonding maybe not so important for simple yard care) to protect yourself.

Tech Talent Drought
Around 30 years ago I pointed out this telling statistic. I heard it in the mid-80s.
"In America there are 10 lawyers for every engineer. In Japan there are 10 engineers for every lawyer."
Guess what? … It's only gotten worse.
Here's a sad state of affairs at a time when many Americans are needing jobs. Colleges are graduating students every semester with a ton of student-loan debt and a degree they can't use.
Sit down with any Human Resources person in a technology company and ask them what their biggest challenge is. Almost across the board you will get the reply – finding talent. Technology companies from coast-to-coast are struggling to fill the vast array of unfilled vacancies at the front line of their organizations.
A tech recruiter relayed the story that he was at a networking event recently when the CEO of a young startup company told him he would pay a fee of $400,000 if the recruiter could find five great engineers.
Sounds insane, doesn't it.
When you consider tech talent at the leading firms can represent several million in revenue then a half million in fees sounds rather paltry. There's a tech talent drought leaving nobody to fill open positions.
So what's the problem?
Much of it is the education selected by students over the last decade or so.
Consider this data from the Marginal Revolution blog:
[box] In 2009 the U.S. graduated 37,994 students with bachelor's degrees in computer and information science. This is not bad, but we graduated more students with computer science degrees 25 years ago![/box]
It gets worse…
From the same blog:
[box] In 2009 the U.S. graduated 89,140 students in the visual and performing arts, more than in computer science, math and chemical engineering combined and more than double the number of visual and performing arts graduates in 1985.[/box]
So here's what I don't understand.
An Engineering degree costs as much as a Psychology or Performing Arts degrees and the income potential is vastly greater for nerds. It begs the question, why are young adults pursuing degrees that have them more likely making coffee at Starbucks rather than enjoying the weekend with the top down on their new Beemer spending that big tech paycheck?
I think it comes down to shortsightedness sprinkled with a little laziness.
Engineering is hard! It requires work, lots of it. But hey, if it's the difference between a six figure income or the title Barista, I think I could figure out how to get the work done.
I think much of it is based on the times. We are raising a generation of American Idols with dreams of making it in Hollywood. What many of them don't realize is they stand a better chance of getting struck by lighting than striking it rich in Tinsel Town. For every Brad Pitt or Angeline Jolie walking the red carpet, there's a million actors pouring Cappuccino for another aspiring actor reading the want ads.
Every good tech engineer stepping out of college today can be making mid-six-figures within five years.
For every Bill Gates and Steve Jobs there's a thousand Zuckenburgs ready to make their mark in the tech world as we speak.
Solve the tech talent drought. Learn programming.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – As part of Grand Central Terminal's centennial celebration, an art exhibit has opened depicting several aspects of the famous transit hub.
Artist Lothar Osterburg is one of more than a dozen artists asked to submit art projects for the centennial.
He sat down with CBS 2's Cindy Hsu to explain that the artists' goal was to reinterpret a piece of the terminal's history.
The On Time/Grand Central At 100 exhibit is located at the New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex and Store at Grand Central.
Osterburg's works depict Zeppelin airships inside Grand Central Terminal.
"What I did was a kind of a fantastical view of Grand Central of a time that actually never happened," Osterburg told CBS 2's Hsu. "I'm working from the idea that memory kind of gives us an emotional impression of a piece that kind of over time, never happened but we still have a really great feeling about the space."
Osterburg said memory tends to be a major theme of his work.
"It's a New York that is greater than the actual real New York," he told Hsu.
The exhibit will be at Grand Central until July 7. For more information about a tour of the exhibit, click here.

How Do Muscles Work?
If you have been keeping up on Max Effort Muscle's product articles you have likely come across some terms and references to physiological processes that may be less than familiar. The aim of this article is to help elucidate some of technical mumbo jumbo and provide a broader context to not only help you understand the multitude of benefits seen from taking the Max Effort Muscle products but to help you learn more about the way your own body operates.
Let us begin by discussing a topic that has come up in many of our product articles, muscular contraction. Many of the products and ingredients we have discussed play some role in helping increasing muscle growth by improving the efficiency of the muscular contraction. Previous articles have touched on the processes behind it but we want to help put the pieces of the puzzle together.
How do muscles contract? Well there is a well-supported theory known as the Sliding Filament Theory that explains the cellular process in a series of steps where myosin and actin grab onto each other, causing the sarcomere to shorten and how calcium ions are also important and yada yada yada. We could bore you with all those details but then only about a couple of you would make it to the end of the article. So instead lets be a little more practical. Muscle contraction starts in the brain with the release of the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (Ach). Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter in muscle contraction. When Ach is released it stimulates a nerve impulse, which travels down to the muscle and turn on the necessary muscle fibers. Once the nerve impulse reaches the muscle it activates the fibers and can be referred to as a motor unit. Simply put, a single motor unit is a nerve impulse and all the muscle fibers it innervates. These motor units are the basis for all movement and the more strenuous the task, the more motor units you need to recruit to accomplish it.
Now lets go a little deeper. There are a variety of muscle fibers, which can be activated by these nerve impulses. Likely you have heard of slow twitch (Type 1) and fast twitch (Type 2) muscle fibers but there are actually several others and several subtypes within these divisions but we will not go that deep. Slow twitch muscle fibers are oxidative, meaning they utilize oxygen for energy. These types of muscle fibers are being trained when you go for a jog or do light, low intensity activity especially over an extended period of time. Fast twitch fibers come in several varieties but we will discuss two, oxidative-glycolytic and glycolytic. Oxidative-glycolytic fast twitch fibers can utilize oxygen or glycogen (a form of glucose aka carbohydrate) for energy. Think of the oxidative-glycolytic fibers as being more of the intermediary, sort of a transition fiber between the slow twitch and the glycolytic fast twitch fibers. Fast twitch glycolytic is where the gains are so to speak. These are the large and powerful fibers that everyone looking to pack on muscle mass and strength seek to activate. These are trained only at peak intensities. The fast twitch glycolytic fibers are the last fibers to be turned on. Your muscles do not fire all muscle fibers where some fast twitch and some slow twitch kind of turn on in unison. Muscle fibers activate in an all or nothing fashion meaning an individual fiber cannot become partially active. A whole muscle group (i.e. biceps) can contract partially, without every single fiber firing, but at the micro level an individual fiber either activates completely or not at all.
Muscular contraction works as a progression. First comes the slow twitch then the oxidative-glycolytic fast twitch and then finally the fast twitch glycolytic. As a given workload becomes more difficult we require more fibers to lift. For example, you begin doing bicep curls with 25lb dumbbells, at the onset of the exercise you may not be straining at all to complete each rep, at this point you are only activating slow twitch fibers or very few fast twitch fibers. As the set progresses and you reach rep number 8 or 9 it gets much harder, now you need to recruit more and more fast twitch fibers in order to complete the exercise through the appropriate range of motion. This is why it is commonly said that the last two or three reps is where the magic happens. During these final reps you activate your fast twitch glycolytic fibers the most. If you quit early however, your fast twitch fibers are never activated, thus never trained and you will not see the progress you want. Quitting early on a set and expecting to see gains without ever activating your fast twitch glycolytic fibers is like doing calf raises and expecting to get massive biceps. You have to train what you want to improve so train the fast twitch glycolytic fibers, don't quit early, and get stacked! Activating the glycolytic fibers requires Max Effort and our supplements (Max Effort Muscle Pre Workout and Test Booster) will enhance your exercise capacity so you don't feel so lethargic in the gym, you will want to grind out those last few reps and see what you are made of!
