text: Submitted by Kay on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 10:00am Winter Nature Fun for Families in Brooklyn In summer, Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden are super-popular destinations, with glorious flora and fauna, and lots of free or inexpensive programming for families. But they don't go into hibernation during the winter. The cool months are actually a great time to visit: You'll find fewer crowds, lower fees (the Garden offers free admission on weekdays through March 11) and plenty of kid-friendly activities and attractions, many of which are inside where it's warm. From indoor exhibits at the Garden and the Park's Audubon Center to outdoor nature walks, here's why you should bundle up the family and hit these green spots in winter. Brooklyn Botanic Garden 900 Washington Avenue at Crown Street Tuesday-Friday 8am-4:30pm; Saturday-Sunday 10am-4:30pm FREE Tuesday-Friday and Saturday 10am-noon; $10 for adults, $5 for students, free for children under age 12 Saturday noon-4:30pm and Sunday 10am-4:30pm. Indoor Fun at the BBG The BBG's Conservatory transports you to much warmer climates, with its Aquatic House and Orchid Collection, Bonsai Museum, and Desert, Tropical and Warm Temperate Pavilions. Even on NYC's dreariest days (like say the entire month of February), a visit here is sure to raise your spirits and wow your eyes. No strollers are allowed in these areas, so your kids must be walking or in a sling. Small hands need to monitored as you're able to get up close and personal with a host of wonderful and weird flora, including cacti, banana plants and delicate exotic flowers. The nearby Terrace Cafe is a good spot to stop for lunch or a mid-exploration snack. The BBG's current indoor exhibit is Terrarium, a collection of synthetic works by Jae Hi Ahn and plant displays by Jennifer Williams. Kids can marvel at Williams' glass-encased mini-gardens, while Ahn's nature-inspired creations are reminiscent of delicate jewelry. It's on view through Sunday, February 26. The Garden has two stores: the Gift Shop, which sells household items and jewelry, and the Garden Shop, which has an extensive kids' area in addition to all things horticultural. My daughter loves going here. She's particularly fond of the shop's large selection of Wild Republic plush birds that, when squeezed, tweet realistic calls, and all of the animal-themed children's books. Although you'll have to wait until spring to see it, we do want to mention the much-anticipated 20,000-square-foot Visitor Center, which is scheduled to open in May. In addition to moving the often-congested main entrance to a larger location, it will feature an area where visitors can learn about the Garden's current events and exhibits, a wall-mounted digital map and interactive exhibits. Perhaps most impressive of all will be its living roof: A leaf-shaped ceiling that will boast more than 40,000 seasonal plants. And of course, the building itself has been certified "green." Outdoor Fun at the BBG If you're up for braving the cold, the BBG offers the free monthly Chase the Winter Blues Away Guided Tour. The tour this Sunday, February 5 celebrates Lunar New Year in the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden. The tour on Sunday, March 4 will spotlight Early-Spring Flowers. No reservations required. Meet in front of the current Visitor Center at 1pm. Kids' winter classes in the Children's Garden, including a few inexpensive harvesting and cooking classes are already in session. But if you're interested, it's worth calling to see if any spots are still available. If you like to plan ahead, registration for spring classes begins next Monday, February 6. Of course you don't need a class or a special tour to enjoy the Garden, especially with the insanely mild winter we're having. Relax in the tranquil Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden or stroll down the Cherry Esplanade. Before you go, check out the Garden's handy Plants in Bloom page so you'll know what's flowering. Prospect Park Indoor Fun in Prospect Park Many of the park's winter activities take place around the Audubon Center, a picturesque, Venetian-inspired boathouse located on the lake just inside the Lincoln Road/Ocean Avenue entrance. The Center teaches visitors about local wildlife preservation via various exhibits, including a few with live animals. The building also houses the popular Songbird Cafe. The Center's been closed for a bit of a winter break, but it reopens this Saturday, February 4 and will be open on winter weekends and holidays noon-4pm. Upcoming events of interest to families include weekly introduction to bird watching and arts and nature crafts sessions. If you have teens, they can enjoy free recording time in the park's state-of-the-art Beat Cave Studio in exchange for putting in a few volunteer hours. Find the complete schedule on the website. All programs are FREE. The Prospect Park Zoo features indoor and outdoor exhibits, and is home to more than 80 animal species. The Discovery Center, open Sundays 11am to 3pm, is a comfy spot to read animal-themed books or play games like match the animal poop with its owner. Informative Keeper Chats also take place on weekends. Plus there are daily sea lion feedings outside and animal encounters inside the theater. The ever-popular and well-stocked Barn & Garden is also a big attraction. Open 365 days per year. $8 for adults, $5 children ages 3-12, free for kids under 3. At the 18th-century Lefferts Historic House families can wander through period rooms and a working garden. Like the Audubon Center, the House has been closed for winter break but reopens this Saturday, February 4 and stays open on winter weekends and holidays noon-4pm. Weekend tours and Handiwork: Tasks and Crafts from the Past sessions bring the retro era to vivid life. Lefferts' annual Winter Festival coincides with midwinter break. From Saturday, February 18-Sunday, February 26 between 1 and 3pm, families can drop in to play old-school games, no batteries required. All programs are FREE. Although the Prospect Park Tennis Center is an outdoor sports complex in summer, it transforms into an indoor center in winter thanks to a giant inflatable bubble. Rentals are available by the hour, and professional tennis coaches conduct lessons for adults and children if you feel like splurging. Visit the website for prices and other details. Outdoor Fun in Prospect Park Prospect Park is home to seven playgrounds, including the beautifully renovated Vanderbilt Playground, the Ezra Jack Keats-themed Imagination Playground and the musical Harmony Playground. The perimeter of the Park serves as a three-mile running, walking, cycling and scootering track. If you prefer to explore the Park on horseback, hit nearby Kensington Stables, which is open year-round. Unfortunately, there is no ice-skating in Prospect Park this season. Wollman Rink is closed due to the construction of the Lakeside Center, scheduled to open in January 2013. Once completed, the complex will contain a year-round ice rink, children's water play area, and extended acreage for the lake and parkland.

Whoa now! It ain't even Halloween yet!
What's on your Christmas list for Santa to bring to you?

Hmmm. I wonder if I go trick or treating tomorrow carrying my boil kettle instead of a candy bag, if people will drop hops, grain, and yeast in there.
I'd like a good sturdy hotplate to boil 4gal of wort indoors. The new stove with the glass top, isn't cutting it. I'm using a turkey fryer but when its freezing cold I'd like to have an indoor alternative.I'd also like a keg meister with two taps, for the den. Right now I have to go downstairs and use picnic taps in my keezer or frig.And thats all I need. And this lamp.

Bills fans are an optimistic lot. I suppose when you've had the recent history this franchise has had you need a healthy dose of optimism to do what you do.
But optimism does and should have its limits. Prior to Sunday it was the preseason – that magical time of year when all teams have the same win-loss records and the possibilities are limitless. If you're an optimistic Bills fan it could be your favorite time of year, but I heard some downright crazy things listening to fans between April's draft and Sunday afternoon.
Plenty of fans did not only predict a winning season but a return to the playoffs. The reasons for such grandiose predictions varied widely. There was the opportunist theory – the Bills were actually competitive in a lot of games they didn't win last year and they were just mere plays away from having losses become victories – surely with a smidge of better luck and execution success could be realized. There was the analyst theory – the Bills actually have a number of good players who couldn't fully contribute last year due to injury and have now returned (as a bonus, their understudies now have real game experience). There was what I refer to as the "lottery theory" – somebody's got to be the team to come out of nowhere and be a hot team – why not the Bills?
As far-fetched as some of these theories were, all paled in comparison to what I call the "Jasmine theory" (I have a 5 year-old daughter who goes around singing "A Whole New World") – the theory that because there had been changes at head coach and general manager it was a completely different reality than last season and the Bills would return to greatness.
I must admit – I was really taken aback by how many people so completely bought into the elevation of Buddy Nix to GM and the hiring of Chan Gailey as coach that they were willing to sing their praises prior to seeing any actual results. To hear people talking, Buddy Nix is a personnel genius capable of finding impact players throughout the draft and quickly bringing more talent to the team. Gailey is hailed as a guy who has always won and whose specialty is his ability to take very mediocre quarterbacks and make them very capable NFL starters.
Are these the same fans who have been burned time and time again by the promise of a new coach? Wasn't Gregg Williams/Mike Mularkey/Dick Jauron the perfect guy to come in, get the most out of his players and turns this mess around? Are these the same fans who put so much faith in Tom Donahoe – another "great personnel guy" – to bring in guys who would raise the franchise to respectability? How, after being burned so badly in seasons past, were people so willing to so totally embrace these new faces as saviors?
Maybe I'm just cantankerous old man with a bad attitude, but before I'm willing to sing the praises of anyone in the Bills organization I need to see some actual results. This is particularly important if you were part of a front office responsible for some poor prior drafts or a guy fired from Kansas City who didn't have a job last year. Don't get me wrong, I WANT these guys to succeed, I'm just not willing to give anyone a blind benefit of the doubt.
Whatever the reason for irrational optimism, it was certainly proven misguided on Sunday. The game was in no way shape or form the dawn of a new era in Buffalo – rather it appeared to be a continuation of the decade-long nightmare that has haunted Bills fans everywhere.
Despite a new coach, new rookie players, now-healthy veterans and a clean slate with which to start, the Bills looked exactly like the Bills we saw last year.
For the umpteenth consecutive year, the Bills were completely unable to move the ball on offense. Three and outs ruled the day. The offensive line was once again absolutely horrific, failing to keep pressure off of the quarterback and opening no holes in the running game. Trent Edwards was absolutely terrible, alternating between getting rid of the ball way too fast or doing his best Rob Johnson impersonation and holding it way, way too long. Receivers could not find ways to get open, tight ends were invisible both receiving and blocking, and there was never much of a commitment to the running game.
The defense played well at times but gave up long third down conversions too often and couldn't get off the field at key times. A number of times Miami's average quarterback was given the time to stand back and make throws worthy of top players at his position. To top it all off, an already decimated linebacking corps suffered a key injury when the oft-injured Paul Posluszny was knocked out of the game yet again.
I could go on and on about how similar the 2010 Bills looked compared with last year's model, but you saw and you've probably read the analysis of it ad nauseam. The question really is, why?
The Bills have been saddled with organizational inertia so severe it really borders on abuse of its fans. Seriously, how long do fans have to wait until the organization puts any real effort into addressing the offensive line or the quarterback position? How can any sane franchise be happy with Cornell Green, a Raiders cast off and Demeterius Bell, a seventh round draft pick as the bookends to the most important unit on the offense? How can anyone believe that Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick or Brian Brohm is a starting caliber NFL quarterback? How can a team build a stable of solid running backs and give them absolutely no surrounding talent? How can a team allow all of its divisional rivals to make a splash in free agency while standing pat on a roster devoid of talent at so many positions?
I've run out of answers or theories about the Bills at this point – I can see what is happening but I can't explain it. I think it's very easy to explain why season tickets are down by 20% this year, why Edwards gets booed at camp and at the stadium, and why fans have been beaten down past anger into apathy. I can see that the Bills aren't in any sort of hurry to address what ails them. Sadly, I can see what 2010 is going to be a long year for the Bills and their remaining fans – a very long year.

One month ago, Doug Reinke, owner of the Chestnut Hill furniture boutique HOST, decided the Avenue was ready for some retail expansion — something he's not unaccustomed to after he opened a second HOST location in Old City.
In partnership with his landlord, Bowman Properties, Reinke opened two of the Hill's newest shops: Earth and Linen.
Although it's been only a month, Mary Manning, who manages both new retailers, said the response to the stores has been positive.
"Business is doing great," Manning said, "and new customers are coming in everyday."
Customers will find numerous gardening related items in Earth, from hands-on items like gardening tools, gloves, plants and seeds to items that are not so "green thumb," like fine jewelry, scented candles and Olivina bath and body products.
Although Earth may sound like a typical hardware store, it's not. The idea behind the design, Manning said, was to make Earth a "unique, aesthetically pleasing experience."
"In Earth you will be able to find something new and interesting to please your green thumb," she said.
Along those lines, Earth offers a few things not found in your garden-variety shop. One of the most interesting items is called an air plant. Air plants, like the popular Tillandsias, do not have to be planted in soil because water and nutrients are absorbed through their leaves.
Earth is planning to host a terrarium workshop in the next month and will announce the event on its Facebook page. Manning said Earth is also planning a 25-percent-off summer sale.
Like Earth, Linen is meticulously designed and features an interesting blend of items both expected and unexpected. High quality and adorable children's clothes are available in sizes ranging from infant to nine months from brands like Bella Bliss. Home and bedding brands for sale include Pine Cone Hill, Serena & Lily and Dwell Studio.
According to Manning, Linen's most popular items are the upholstered headboards that shoppers customize by choosing a style, monogram and other personalized touches to create a distinctive bedroom accessory.
Since the opening of Earth and Linen, Manning said that many seasoned shoppers were surprised to discover the stores but seemed glad to know they now had two new destinations.
"I think people are really excited to see a fresh and unique retailer," Manning said.
"They seem to come in [to Earth and Linen] and it gives them hope, and that's what we want to give to our shoppers. Everyone is just so supportive and so kind. It's a great environment to be in."
For more information on the products sold at Earth and Linen, visit both stores' Facebook fan pages. You will also soon be able to visit each stores' full websites, which are both currently under construction.

So where are we at with 17.9? I thought I'd take some time out today and just give you all an overview of where we are at, what the plans are and what you can do to help test the progress.
17.8.2 Update this week
We had planned to go straight to the 17.9 update, but given a couple of things that I will get to in just a bit we have decided to do a small maintenance update for some fixes in the interim. Therefore there will be a small client update this week to a 17.8.2 version. This is a very small update to address a couple of issues we didn't want waiting any further. Namely pets going into a disconnected state on the battlestation and some fixes for the use of aoe effects on duels.
We will post the exact time and duration of the downtime at some point tomorrow.
17.9 Status
So what's up with 17.9? The update was actually pretty much ready to go, although we will use the extra time to do some more polishing and tweaking to the new encounters and items. So what's the reason for wanting to hold it back?
Concealment and Perception is the answer.
When working on some of the older bugs in an effort to squash the pesky things we were finally able to nail down something we had suspected for a while, and players had wondered about for some time and that's the oddities with how the perception against concealment (and general perception checks) scale and work. What we found hidden away in a particularly dark corner of the code-base was that these checks has always been checking only the unbuffed base stats when performing its checks.
Fixing that resolves quite a few minor bugs (like the difficulties players have finding hidden mobs as you find in the Crypt or in Penumbra for example) but it present us with a potentially major change to the game mechanics that is going to be difficult to gauge. How will resolving this effect those professions that rely to a large extent on concealment, and how will it effect general balance with everyone getting additional benefit from perception buffs.
The honest answer is that we can't be totally sure until we get some data, this is where you can help!
Playing on the test server
The transfer of characters to test live is now back up and running and we would encourage players to please come to the test dimension and check out the change and provide your feedback. Does it play any differently? It may be that the balance isn't that far out due to the using the buffed stats, it might be that with players set-ups it makes quite a difference and we would like to get as good a picture as possible. We will most likely test this update for an additional two or three weeks before considering releasing it to the live dimensions.
We are of course testing this ourselves as well both internally and on the test dimension but any additional players or time spent on the test dimension will be very helpful to help see the effect of this change.
In closing
Now it's unlikely we would want to revert the change, but we are open to adding new and different buffs (or modifying existing ones) if we feel that the new balance caused by this change requires some further adjustments.
We felt that this change had far too much potential for significant change to rush out to the live dimensions. It might well be that in the end it doesn't have such a big impact due to how players stats have ended up down the years. So deciding to take extra testing time might be being over cautious, but I much would rather be safe than sorry!
So there you have it, that's the current game-plan and we will of course keep you updated with any further developments!

ECHO PARK — A woman was being treated for a head injury tonight after police said she ran into the street and was struck by a restaurant delivery car, prompting a three-hour street closure as officers conducted an investigation.
Witnesses said the woman had been yelling at a man across the street for several minutes at the corner of Montana Street and Lake Shore Avenue when she ran into the street and was hit by a Rodeo Mexican Grill delivery vehicle that was turning at the intersection at about 6 p.m., said LAPD Officer Jason Cho. The woman suffered a head injury and was bleeding after hitting the pavement, Cho said. He did not have any information on her medical condition.
It did not appear that the driver, who had not been speeding or drinking, was at fault, based on eye witness accounts and a preliminary investigation, Cho said.
A two-block stretch of Montana Street was reopened to traffic at about 9 p.m.

Is the National HIV/AIDS Strategy Good for Black Americans? Part 4: Coordinating Care and Funding
By Rod McCullom
October 17, 2010
The final story of a four-part series examining the strategy's impact on Black communities. This article is cross-posted from the Oct. 12 edition of Black AIDS Weekly, the newsletter of the Black AIDS Institute.
In July the Obama administration released the much anticipated National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) (pdf), the nation's first dedicated road map to addressing and fighting the epidemic. At that time, activists with the Coalition for a National AIDS Strategy described it as "one of the most anticipated moments" in the domestic fight against HIV/AIDS. The strategy identified three primary goals (read parts 1, 2 and 3 of Black AIDS Weekly's report). A fourth metric was later identified: creating a coordinated national response.
The administration offers two "critical" steps toward effectively responding to the epidemic:
Dr. Koh is tasked with coordinating the interagency process to implement the strategy: "We're going to start in the first 150 days and see where the resources are. Then we're going to determine if they're being utilized as efficiently as they should be." (Note: This time frame ends on Dec. 10, 2010.)
The administration hopes to streamline data collection, integrate services, and reduce overlapping and competing programs. "PEPFAR has taught us a valuable lesson about maximizing dollars and resources when fighting HIV," Dr. Koh says, referring to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which has been very successful at delivering lifesaving antiretrovirals to the developing world. "We want to return that sense of urgency to the domestic epidemic."
But while Dr. Koh and the administration describe their coordination plan as "ambitious," others disagreed. "The coordination goals are vague," says Bambi W. Gaddist, Dr.P.H., founder and executive director of the South Carolina HIV/AIDS Council. "And that's being charitable."
How to Monitor Progress?
The second step in coordinating care is developing mechanisms to report progress. The federal government will publish its "progress in reaching strategy goals ... through an annual report" and "encourage states" to do the same, the plan states.
"And that's about it," Dr. Gaddist notes. "There aren't specific coordination goals. There's no accountability, as in how do we make states fall in line?"
Another element missing from the strategy's four-point plan: a price tag. "There's no money here," Dr. Gaddist observes. "And that is a concern. If the strategy is a priority for the administration ... then where's the money?"
The federal funding for domestic HIV/AIDS in fiscal year 2010 was about $19.5 billion. The NHAS allocated no new funding beyond its $30 million implementation cost. In interviews with policy experts, doctors, prevention counselors and HIV/AIDS activists from coast to coast, all decried the lack of funding as problematic.
"That concerns me," says W. Jeffrey Campbell, prevention development director at the Houston-based St. Hope Foundation, a member of the Black AIDS Institute's recently launched Black Treatment Advocates Network (BTAN). "Interventions, preventions, technology, marketing, testing--that costs money."
"That's the elephant in the room," said Black AIDS Institute president and CEO Phill Wilson at the International AIDS Conference in Vienna.
Jesse Milan Jr., vice president and director of Altarum Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization that conducts health-systems research, maintains that $30 million is "only a fraction" needed to reduce the escalating HIV rates in the inner cities and the Black community.
"The price tag is very clear," says Milan, who last year chaired the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's external peer-review committee for the Division of Infection Disease. "That figure is $4.7 billion over five years. That's a minimum. And that's for prevention only."
"There is currently not enough funding for HIV/AIDS in this country," Milan adds. "And those driving the strategy know this."
The administration counters that the NHAS is not a final document but a road map. "This plan informs future budget decisions," Dr. Koh responds. "We have to start with where we are and determine are we using our resources properly."
Milan, the Black AIDS Institute's board-chair emeritus, stresses that African Americans must be "up front" about advocating for more funding. "It's imperative. HIV has a very high impact in the Black community, and we're hurting the most," Milan says, adding that Blacks are experiencing "historically" high HIV seroconversions. In the short term, given the economic and political realities, "we're not likely to see significant increased" HIV/AIDS funding, he adds.
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Congressional Black Caucus chair and a high-profile HIV/AIDS advocate, applauds the NHAS but urges the Black community to lobby for increased funding. "We funded two wars to the tomb with a trillion dollars, so we can find the money. Demand that your members of Congress step up to the plate."

nadine marie needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 111 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
The Reserve Sushi and Steakhouse
We have just acquired a fine dining, upscale sushi and steakhouse restaurant. The dining room is not very big,seats 60 but rather cozy and very quaint with one whole wall in the room hosting floor to ceiling frosted windows. The interior setting is dimly lit and perfect for intimate date nights or special occasions. The color scheme is white, black and grey with burgundy red mosaic votives on the tables. We are looking for a logo that coincides with our classy, romantic dining getaway, and our passion for fine food and flawless service.
We are mainly targeting couples of all ages that seek a fine dining experience. We excel in service and have a chef that provides a culinary flair that is extremely unique in our surrounding community. We are the only restaurant of our kind in the neighborhood and we want to market this advantage to the fullest potential.
We are looking for classy simplicity. Black and white preferably but we are open to appropriate suggestions. Nothing intricate but intriguingly attractive to the eye and makes people curious. We are looking for a design that can translate from out front on our building to a business card. Simple but cleverly smooth and interesting.
The words "Sushi and Steakhouse" should be smaller then "Reserve"

Napavine Tornado
Today the NWS released a statement confirming that an EF0 tornado (the weakest kind) hit about a mile east of Napavine, a small town in SW WA near I5 around 2 PM (2100 UTC) on Friday (see map):
The tornado touched the ground for a few hundred feet, damaging a barn, some fences and a few trees.
Here is a video of the scene:
Curious, the first thing I did was to check out the radar image (below). You can see a very strong line of convection...yellow indicates a real downpour.
But what about rotation? Any sign in the radar Doppler velocities (which they NEVER show on TV)? The colors in the image below for 2 PM indicate velocity towards or away from the radar (which in this case is just west of Portland). Rotation is shown by a couplet of warm and cold colors, warm colors (e.g., yellow) indicating flow moving away from the radar and cold colors (e.g., green) towards the radar). No sign of a velocity couplet.
This suggests a weak, non-supercell tornado. There can be some weak rotation near the surface (perhaps from air passing around a small terrain barrier) and the rotation gets "spun up" by the updraft of the convection. Sort of like a skater spinning up when she pulls her arms in (this is really based on the conservation of angular momentum).
Typically Washington gets a few tornadoes a year and few of them are very damaging. The worst we have ever had was the EF3 Vancouver tornado in 1972.
KUOW Situation
Still waiting on them after I asked them to work with me on some type of compromise. Today their board chair put out a statement saying I decided to quit (not true) and that it was also the decision of the program manager, Jeff Hansen. Just gets stranger and stranger.
I think I was the only regular they had down there that was not allowed to speak on a variety of topics. Even stranger, I have talked to a number of other radio stations and NONE of them have said anything about constraining my speech. In fact, one news director laughed and said he WANTED me to talk about education topics--it would lend interest to the program. Why is KUOW different? Why is speech most constrained on a public radio station owned by the University of Washington?
If you are interesting in supporting this request for them to reinstate my weather segment here is the petition site: http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/cliffmassonkuow

Sounds like you should just take your expertise elsewhere. I heard KUOW's weatherman on Friday and if that's all they want, they're welcome to it. Maybe they think they are (or want to be) just another radio station?
Interestingly, I got a membership invitation in the mail today. Given their interest in serving my needs and interests, they can save the postage.

Cliff, I think KUOW is a lost cause at this point - especially with the interest other media outlets are giving to you.
From a Public Relations perspective, KUOW is trying to save face and shift the blame. They had no idea this event would gather the momentum that it has.
Use it to your best advantage. As Carl Sagan would say, "Imagine the possibilities!" Billions and Billions.

This relates to your last post, but we have had some great thunderstorms east of the Cascades. They've been isolated, tied to the terrain, but great height, anvils, and cloud tops, as close as you get to the midwest over here.

Yeep. Tornado. Do Not Want.
I think KUOW is saying the same thing about you. For whatever reason, their management Does Not Want you around, in the strongest terms Red Square can come up with. I say it's time to take your services elsewhere. They're being VERY passive-aggressive... do you really want to work in that environment?

Cliff- Great article in The Stranger. Thank you for speaking out. This is censorship pure and simple. The dumbing down of America continues, portending enormous problems for us in the future, as the Chinese (and other countries) invest heavily in science education (and also want to send their kids to the best schools in the US).

I'll continue to support your right to be heard but if you can find a forum that is less constraining, I think that is the obvious choice. Nobody listens to Cliff Mass for just the weather report. KUOW insults its own listeners by inferring as such. You're much more than that and they have lost sight of what's important in this silly controversy they have invented.

I have to admit that I have never heard your radio program because I don't listen to radio. I found you here on the internets and it's obvious you know the Pacific NW weather like nobody else. Have you considered doing your own weather blog (vlog) on YouTube? The platform lends itself perfectly to a situation like this, where you already have a following of likely subscribers, but you would be free to talk about other things whenever you wanted and those interested can follow those issues too. Plus, you would have as much time as you wanted to elaborate on cool weather phenomena--there is nothing I enjoy more than watching a passionate scientist excitedly explaining something interesting. You could have a giant map of the PacNW printed on a white-board-type surface on which you could draw with colored markers. Anyway, just an idea. A show can begin with very casual production values and get more sophisticated as time goes by. A good example of a successful show like this is Viperkeeper's channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/viperkeeper. He is an expert on venomous snakes from around the world and produces a 20-minute show once a week from his reptile room along with occasional shorts on subjects he wants to talk about. It's not always fireworks; sometimes it is just him maintaining his collection, but he has been doing this for years and has a regular following. The love he has for his animals and the science is addicting. (BTW, he does Not feed live prey to his snakes.) I would LOVE to subscribe to a weather blog YouTube show put on by you!

KUOW doesn't DESERVE you... have huge self-respect, Cliff, and shop the other stations against each other until you find the best deal and broadest audience. We will follow you. If the new place pays you, if you object to being paid (or contractually through UW, cannot) then plow the money into your charitable arm.
I think moving on with dignity and disappointment is your best move. Also, do continue the podcast. I know it sounds wacky, but MORE, MORE!! I feel like there's a lot to learn every day and I am thrilled to learn something from you every chance I get.
Thank you, again.

So KUOW's Board Chairman says you quit while their web site talks about your dimissal. Seems to me there is a great gap of accurate information between what the news department says and what the board says. Who is correct? Or is this just one more indication of the low quality of KUOW's product and board?

Sorry, sir, but you ought to know this by now. Move on. You can't win against lifers.
Bureaucrats cannot understand anything but the five-year-plan and falling in line behind the Supreme Leader (whoever that happens to be, and it doesn't matter who that happens to be).
They are firmly wedged into their corners and are counting the days to retirement, which is what lifers live for. You will not be allowed to change that.
To them you are only a slightly annoying irrelevance.

Loved hearing your weekend weather spot on KUOW. Came to hate the game of trying to guess just what time they would broadcast you. KUOW's programing for Friday morning has long suffered from a mixture of tedious subjects presented in a painfully self absorbed manner, and predictable views presented in a painfully self-absorbed manner. All I wanted to hear was your weekend weather & other. Since KUOW threw you over the side I have been spared the necessity of tuning in on Friday mornings. The upshot is that KUOW deserves neither your expertise nor my support.
Thanks for starting and continuing your blog. I now look to it to get your weather and other reports.
thanks, Cliff.

I have to concur with what others are saying. KUOW's management and board have gone beyond thinking rationally and are purely trying to save face. If they were in it for the listeners (or even just audience numbers), they would've done a New Coke-style about-face and brought your segment back with fanfare (with some cheesy yet catchy slogan, "You Spoke. We Listened.").
Unless you can find a solution which will allow them to save face, going back to KUOW isn't going to happen.
Podcasts are an interesting alternative to radio these days. Unfortunately, the technology is still alienating to many listeners (trying to get my wife's grandmother connected to a BBC stream over in Belgium is proving to be challenging); however, it is something to consider.

I guess I am on the "move on" bandwagon. I have seen this movie before, and KUOW is showing they have no problem with burning their bridges, with both Cliff and us their smaller patrons.
This reminds me so much of the time KIRO-FM ditched "The Pat Cashman Show". After a few weeks of just trying to pry reasons out of KIRO, and then a few months putting pressure on advertisers but KIRO still would not budge. This despite the fact that quite a few advertisers DID pull their spots. Cashman was very popular had a fairly big audience, had an entire morning show -just sayin..
KUOW has been acting like they think they are a "commercial" station in regards to customer relations for quite some time. I can't tell if they have some hidden agenda, or if it is all just clueless and self absorbed management, but who cares -the bloom is off the rose. Time to cut your losses and head for greener pastures Cliff.
Cliff, I am hoping you can do a post about the tornados in Massachusetts. Seems like such an unlikely place for a tornado outbreak!

AM 1090 is the way to go Cliff. Add your scientific analysis to the TRULY progressive radio in Seattle. Thom Hartmann + Cliff Mass = radio ecstasy. Hell, they would probably give you your own show.

- MaryAnn K said...
Wish the listeners could just get a straight story out of someone at KUOW. Either someone "upstairs" didn't want your opinions on education aired, or it's a more straightforward case of Steve Scher being inexplicably rigid about controlling your spot's content.
Either way, do you really want to return to where you're not wanted? I don't see a reconciliation with the powers that be at the station - sounds more like they're closing ranks and making excuses.
Your fans will follow anywhere you want to go. I thought your YouTube test video was great! And sorry to say, KUOW has lost a lot of credibility.

Doesn't KUOW have guests who speak about gardening, home repair, and Canadian news? I assume they are expected to keep to those subjects.
I think KUOW should periodically have you as a guest to talk about education -- regardless of what happens to your weather segment -- because you are knowledgeable and articulate about education. But it's almost unheard of for a regular on one topic (e.g., you, or one of the other regulars above) to be guaranteed the right to speak on other topics, either as part of the weather segment or at other times.
I think you should offer to resume the weather segment and stick to weather, if you and KUOW can get over the bad blood. Maybe taping the segment would work better. Meanwhile you can appear as a guest on any stations that want you (hopefully including KUOW), talking about any other topics, as often as you want.

I just remember TWO other prominent and misguided firings at PublicTV (not Radio). Those of us old enough remember Rukeiser's WallStreetWeek and Bob Newrock's famous "elves indicators" that were great in forecasting the market direction. (They were 10 contrarian indicators like interest rates, correctly going against the mainstream - and adding them gave a sum between -10 and +10).
Rukeiser fired Bob for some dumb reason and made his own index, asking 10 human experts that were always bullish and wrong except for Gail Dudak who turned bearish before the dot-com crash from which we still have not recovered a decade later.
Rukeiser summarily fired Gail for being too bearish! We strongly needed both Bob and Gail and now we need Cliff.
Please don't just turn over and let KUOW make such a misguided and wrong move.

The Essence of Other-Emptiness
This eBook is available from the following online stores
Amazon eBook DownloadBefore you go, sign up to receive news & promotions from Shambhala.com
DetailsJeffrey Hopkins continues his groundbreaking exploration of the Jo-nang-ba sect of Tibetan Buddhism with this revelatory translation of one of the seminal texts from that tradition. Whereas Dol-bo-ba's massive Mountain Doctrine authenticates the doctrine of other-emptiness through extensive scriptural citations and elaborate philosophical arguments, Taranatha's more concise work translated here situates the doctrine of other-emptiness within the context of schools of tenets, primarily the famed four schools of Tibetan Buddhism, through comparing the various schools' opinions on the status of the noumenon and phenomena. Also included is a supplementary text by Taranatha which presents the opinions of a prominent fifteenth-century Sakya scholar, Shakya Chok-den, and contrasts them with those of the leading Jo-nang-ba scholar Dol-bo-ba.News & Reviews
"Anyone eager to understand the currents and interpretation that flowed through Tibetan Buddhist literary culture and contemplative practice will be delighted by this excursion into the works of one of the more colorful and daring among Tibet's intellectual yogins." —Jules B. Levinson, Ph.D.
"This book is lovingly translated and annotated. Jeffrey Hopkins likes nothing better than this sort of challenge of explication and here he once again comes up trumps." —The Middle Way
"This short book contains two crucial texts on the Jonangpa School's controversial doctrine of 'other-emptiness' written by the Tibetan scholar Taranatha. . . . Hopkins, the translator, is one of today's most insightful and prolific scholars of Tibet. . . . These texts provide a clear, concise, and approachable source for analysis of the central doctrine of a school that was, until recently, anathematized by the Tibetan Gelukpa establishment. Students and scholars of Tibetan thought will find the work a welcome addition." —Religious Studies ReviewReader Reviews

• This website re-design will be the first design piece in shifting our image and identity to revolve around our new logo (logo files provided). We need a design that will be able to translate to print materials, which will be developed later.
• Our work remains consistent with what we have been doing for the past 12 years, but we are updating our look to reflect our level of professionalism and established reputation. This website provides prospects with a high-quality image, reflecting that we are a trusted firm that will exceed their expectations for training, facilitation, consulting and coaching.

A hallmark of our work is repeat business, client referrals and outstanding, personalized service.
We organize our services in five areas:
• Strategic Retreat Facilitation
• Resilience Training
• Capacity Building
• Leadership Development & Coaching

Please read file "website brief" for more info Audience:
• We are communicating with non-profit and government executives interested in buying professional development services. Particularly, progressive non-profit and government leaders, decision makers, executives are our target market.
Design Direction:
• We prefer a blend of professional and progressive: respected and polished, but not stodgy, while still feeling organic/natural and fresh.
Boulder, Colorado our home, has gorgeous mountains and natural terrain. It is a center of alternative healing, natural foods, health and spiritual growth. Images of the Flatirons in Boulder Colorado are readily available on-line and would be a welcome addition to the site along with images that convey the nature of our work.

• This website will be the basis for a new, unified corporate identity. Print materials, and other digital branding will be developed based on this design concept. A standard looking template is not sophisticated enough.

Saving the NetworkBy Eileen Feretic | Posted 2009-06-01 Print
At Los Angeles World Airports, the IT organization is laying the groundwork to become the world's most technologically advanced airport.
LAWA is planning to expand its technology offerings to the airlines it hosts. "In the future, all airlines—not just common-use ones—will be able to utilize our network," Nessi explains. "For instance, today American Airlines is in our terminal number four, and it has its own telecom lines and its own networks. In the future, American would have the option to use our network.
"We have so many different entities purchasing telecommunications that it would benefit all of us to centralize. Once our network is finished in July, we will speak with the airlines to see if they want to use our network rather than their own. Some of the larger airlines will probably continue using their own network, but a lot of smaller airlines may find that it's not worthwhile to purchase their own telecom lines."
It all comes down to using technology to support and enhance business initiatives. "We want to provide a friendly environment for our airlines because they're our business partners, our main tenants," Nessi says. "So we want to make sure they have the ability to operate as cost-effectively and economically as possible."
LAWA also has concessionaires that use portions of its network services. For example, in first-class lounges, the concessionaires use the airport's cable infrastructure, which comes from Time Warner, to link to the airport terminal. Then they use their own cable from that point into their facility. LAWA doesn't charge for that usage, since it considers that service part of the lease.
"If we decide to provide 24/7 network operations to the airlines and concessionaires, we will have to factor that into our business model to make sure it makes economic sense for us," Nessi says. "We would have to add a cadre of folks working 24/7 to make sure everything was working properly. If we were not able to cover the cost of those employees, it wouldn't make business sense to provide network operations to the airlines and concessionaires. As soon as we finish the network, we'll start to look at this and determine whether or not it makes financial sense for us."
LAWA also plans to expand wireless technology through-out the airport. "The wireless network will be extremely critical to our future success," Nessi points out. "Our network is used both internally for administrative matters and externally for our airline and concessionaire partners, and it's also a big piece of our security infrastructure. Almost every portion of all our terminals and most of our perimeter area is under constant surveillance through a CCTV system, and it all runs on our network.
"Today, our security cameras and access control mechanisms—we call these devices ACAMs—are all on our wired network, but we're looking forward to the near future when we'll be able to deploy these devices using a wireless network. That will give us a tremendous amount of flexibility and will also save us money because running cable is expensive."

All-World Fantasy: Cherry picking the best for a global lineup
First of all, you people are crazy. When I put out the baseball challenge here asking people to try and beat my all-world lineup (a lineup of current players all from different countries) and my all-world roster (25 players in history from 25 different countries), I didn't really expect many to do it. It's so nerdy. I figured that I would get 10 or 20 responses from people with the same obsessive tendencies that I have.
Instead: Hundreds and hundreds of people sent in lineups.
I didn't see that coming at all — there was something about this idea (thought up by my editor Matt Meyers) that seemed to appeal to intense baseball fans. We're proud that baseball really is a world game. True, it's not especially popular in Europe (something that Italian Baseball Superstar Mark Teahen will change) but in Latin America, in Asia, in North America, young baseball players dream of playing in the big leagues, and that's a very cool part of the sport.
I've written all about the all-world lineup construction — I know the original plan was to talk about anyone who beat my team, but in truth the many lineups were so similar (for the most part) that it's hard to differentiate. What I found interesting was your chosen lineup showed whether you thought catcher or shortstop was more important (do you choose Puerto Rico's Yadi Molina or Carlos Correa), whether you valued the game's greatest superstar or the best pitcher on the planet (Mike Trout vs. Clayton Kershaw) and so on.
Several people sent in my exact team with the exception of pitcher — they chose Colombian Jose Quintana and I took Japan's Masahiro Tanaka. That's a close one.
Anyway, here's the lineup piece. The 25-man roster piece is coming soon.

(CORRECTED) SALINAS, Calif. – Taylor Farms" retail division has activated an $8 million clean energy system at its Salinas salad plant.
It"s expected to meet 70% of the company"s power needs using an alternative energy source.
The system, from Sunnyvale-based Bloom Energy, is comprised of five new 200-kilowatt energy servers. It uses a fuel cell technology, converting fuel into electricity without the combustion required by a conventional electrical generator.
"This innovative clean energy system allows us to continue exploring ways to reduce our impact on the environment and moves us much closer to our specific goal of taking this Salinas production facility off the electrical grid," Bruce Taylor, Taylor Farms chief executive officer, said in a news release.
The retail division"s 85,000-square feet of salad and processing lines were constructed in 2010. Mark Campion, president of Taylor Farms retail, called it the most advanced salad processing plant in the U.S.
"We are making it the most energy efficient as well," Campion said in the release.
The servers generate power 24 hours a day, seven days weekly.
Each server is expected to produce more than 1.75 million kilowatt hours annually, enough to power about 160 average U.S. homes.
The system cuts carbon dioxide emissions by almost 30%, according to Taylor Farms, and nearly eliminates nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions. It produces electricity using nearly no water – close to 100% less than an average power plant.
"We are committed to leading the industry in innovation with exciting new products and services, food safety breakthroughs and new systems to enhance sustainability," Campion said.
Taylor Farms also has a foodservice processing plant, and operates about 600,000 square feet of commercial space in Salinas.
Note on correction: The original story misstated server capacity.

When i think of grapefruit, "sweet" and "dessert" just dont come to mind! But for a breakfast yes, this would be delicious :) Go get into your comfy clothes!ReplyDelete
Looks great! Colourful and healthy. I've had something similar on a peach, wondering how a grapefruit would taste. :-)ReplyDelete

Great coconutty crumble, super simple and I bet delicious.ReplyDelete
So simple but so good!ReplyDelete
Good breakfast idea!
Amy recipe with the words coconut and crumble lovingly brought together in a baked good is a soon to be addiction. Gorg post and recipe.ReplyDelete
Such a simple easy and healthy recipe!ReplyDelete
I've never baked grapefruit, but that sure sounds and looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
Oo this looks like my kind of comfort food! Grapefruits are the only thing I really crave all winter long...what a gorgeous topping!ReplyDelete
Baking the grapefruit must make it super juicy. What a lovely and healthy treat.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful idea to make a crumble in fruit! Have missed out many good posts here..pickled carrots need a peek.ReplyDelete
Beautiful photography and a reminder of something my mother once made for us. A refreshing and unique dessert, for sure!ReplyDelete
Wow...I've never even heard of baked grapefruit!! I'll have to try some day- this sounds deliciious- especially with the crumble topping :DReplyDelete
I do love grapefruit, but I've never tried baking them. The coconut topping sounds delicious! I need to try this.ReplyDelete
Yum! Never seen anything like it -- love grapefruit and coconut though.ReplyDelete
this sounds so lovely! i love the touch of coconut in this crumble:) thank you for sharing this.ReplyDelete
What a brilliant idea Maria! I never thought of baking a grapefruit. I'm in love with coconut oil though. I need to think of more ways to fit it into my diet. I made some quinoa with bananas for breakfast this morning. I should have stirred in a spoonful.ReplyDelete
I'm with Dawn - I've never thought of this! Sounds delicious and I love the coconut crumble. Your blog is so inspiring, especially because I used to live in Helsinki when I was a child and this reminds me of such fond moments there. Thank you for the wonderful recipes and I will be back again and again! :)ReplyDelete
So happy to discover your blog. I have lived in Finland for 7 years and now my husband (who is a Finn) and our two kids lives in California. We just had a Finn fest here in town past weekend, found real rye bread, karelian pie! Now I can try some of your recipes, boy my husband is going to be so impressed! :)ReplyDelete
That is such a simple yet delightful recipe! Love this combo!!ReplyDelete

I never thought about baking grapefruits. Glad I found this.ReplyDelete
So simple and beautiful!ReplyDelete
brilliant idea!ReplyDelete
I don't really eat grapefruits but this looks like a wonderful way to do so - delicious!ReplyDelete
Interesting recipe Maria...never tried baked grapefruit before. Love that coconut crumble.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous19 August 2011 at 08:51
Yum! This sounds absolutely fantastic. :)ReplyDelete
I find grapefruit a little too sour for me but love the addition of the sweetness with the crumble :)ReplyDelete
Well, I join some of your other readers in never having baked coconut! Such a v easy recipe of only four ingredients: this just has to be road-tested!ReplyDelete
That is awesome! I love things that are naturally individual like this :D Grapefruit is one thing I'm picky about, I like it some times and not others. I'll keep this in mind for when I'm craving grapefruit. The coconut crumble sounds so yummy, and perfect to offset the grapefruit. I'm glad your week has been good, even though busy. Hopefully you'll get some time to just relax soon :)ReplyDelete
never tried baking grapefruit before! and you reminded me...i still have 2 grapefruits sitting around at home somewhere :/ReplyDelete
Nice and colorfully created! I would love to have a taste of that sourness blending with the sweet crumble.ReplyDelete
Me too, I usually eat several pieces (not one!) of dark chocolate too. Now this BAKED grapefruit... very interesting concept. I've seen baked peaches lately but grapefruit! I love it and with coconutty crumbles... what a perfect topping. Never thought of grapefruit with coconut flavor though. Great idea.ReplyDelete
oh thats so neat.. no washing afterwards, i made an apple crumble a month ago.. didnt taste tooo good .. the crumble was a bit dry :(ReplyDelete
First of all, love the word coconutty! LOL! and secondly these look delicious. Easy and light and healthy but delicious!ReplyDelete
Wow, Maria, these look delicious! Happy to hear you're treating yourself after long, full days shooting :)ReplyDelete
I've never even thought to bake a grapefruit- but it looks delicious! I can't wait to try it.ReplyDelete
Tykkään tosi paljon greipeistä. Näitä aion kokeilla :)ReplyDelete
i've always been a fan of broiled grapefruit, but my topping has always been plain ol' brown sugar. this is a definite must-try--great idea!ReplyDelete
Easy yet delicious! I love this recipe. Baked grapefruit sound so tasty, I have never tried it in any other than the "fresh" form :)ReplyDelete
I love sweet ruby red grapefruit and think this recipe would only enhance their tastiness. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Wow, I never thought to bake grapefruit! I love it! What a marvelous indulgence after a long day...so good you are treating yourself well. :)ReplyDelete
This looks delicious. Just found Scandi Foodie and I am really enjoying the recipes. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I made this for breakfast today and it was SO good! Thanks for the recipe!ReplyDelete


text: To all: I, personally, am a bit tired of this discussion; this is going nowhere. Furthermore, I think at this point it is time to get off the cellbiol group and continue, if so desired, at the individual level. All of us who have participated are quite convinced we are right. I'm sorry it's not working out. Just a final note to Hillman/Fowler: If I remember correctly, this thread started when you posed a number of questions and asked for some answers. That is well and good. However, I fail to see how it seems to have become OUR responsibility to address your issues and meet your "challenges". We, sir/madam, have no problem with our views and are not especially interested in having you agree with us. It is YOU who initiated this, which is why all our responses are in the tone of "you should read this or that". Do not expect us to read your publications. You can ask, you can offer reprints, but accusing us of not reading your stuff is out of place, and will not put us in a good frame of mind. I am out of this thread, and I ask all others to follow suit.

As the stock market makes new highs, investors tend to get greedy. They also begin to believe that what has happened in the recent past will continue to happen in the future. Actually, history shows the exact opposite. It is time to give the potential downside some thought.
Hope burns brightly in the equity markets right now. Many on Wall Street believe that the Republican-dominated Congress, led by Donald Trump, "The working man's president," will usher in a golden era of strong economic growth and robust financial markets. The problem is that politics and investments make for strange bedfellows.
At some point, I expect that the two will part ways and when they
As the clash between brick-and-mortar retail enterprises and the mighty Amazon escalates, the internet shopping colossus is laying waste to one store or mall after another. One of the few areas that has not only staved off the internet shopping giant, but has actually turned the internet and social media to its advantage, is the cosmetics industry.
There is a combination of fortuitous developments, some peculiar to the makeup industry, and others the result of adept marketing that has allowed the beauty trade to grow unencumbered. Social media, as you might imagine, has played a big part in growing an industry that has revenues of $62 billion and climbing.

Hat h&m - Wig Uniwigs - Dress Killstar - Belt Dresslink - Shoes Quanticlo
I loved this Killstar dress since the first time I saw it on the website, I'm glad I finally have it in my hands, it's something really cozy but at the same time cool, it makes you feel really edgy ahah! I love the fringes all around the dress, even if it's the xs size it is a bit loose on the waist but with a belt the problem is solved! This thing makes me think about belts: I really love them but it's hard to find cool models for affordable prices, I'm looking for a smaller one for the waist with the classic huge buckle but it seems it's not easy to find, let me know if you saw something like this! The wig is new too, it's super soft and the lace front is really well done, I'm totally into grey and violet wigs lately as you can see ahahah my collection grew a lot! I hope to find some free time soon to film the wig collection asap!
