Welcome ...
Welcome to the Internet home of R.W. Bacon (that's me), an editor/designer, museum professional, historian/author, and performing artist whose tangible home-base in the world is in the coastal community of Newburyport, Massachusetts, USA. This web site summarizes the range of professional museum services and programs offered, including the illustrated lecture, performance, and exhibition especially for museums, "A Vaudeville Retrospective," the Living History of Early 20th Century Popular Entertainment, with presenter R.W. Bacon (me again) as "The Last Living Vaudevillian."
This introductory page aims to be an understated overview of site content. (Yes, this is a deliberate and self-conscious effort to avoid the constant hyperbole associated with my prior career in the performing arts!)
The Museum Services section. When you explore the site and follow your areas of interest, you will find pages of informative content, representative samples of my museum-related work, and useful links to learn more about the areas of professional expertise. My no-nonsense mantra carried into the museum field from my performing days --- "Talk is cheap. See the work." --- is repeated frequently, with adjacent links to PDF files so you can "see the work" for yourself.
The Presentations & Exhibitions section of this web site leads to comprehensive information about "A Vaudeville Retrospective," and how to arrange a lecture/performance at your museum, historical society, library, or college theatre department.
Looking to purchase books by R.W. Bacon? To read complete descriptions of books by this author on various topics, or to make a secure purchase online via PayPal, vist the companion Variety Arts Press web site.
Looking for R.W. Bacon, showbusiness version?
To those looking for the veteran acrobatic juggler/unicyclist, jazz tenor banjoist, and comic dancer --- Yes, that's me. I am recently retired from a 35-year career in commercial showbusiness, but still include performance excerpts in the Vaudeville history presentation for museums, "A Vaudeville Retrospective." My wife and partner, the sensational club-juggler L.J. Newton, retired from the stage in 1999. We are still happy, healthy, and injury-free after a well-traveled and fulfilling career. (See the links in the sidebar at the right for additional information, especially the profiles on selected mentors and friends.) Since I was a journalist/editor/designer before showbusiness, and a researcher/author/historian during, the transition to the museum field was a natural fit. To distant friends, longtime fans, fellow performers, and former juggling/circus arts students, I would be glad to hear of your recent adventures. To new friends and museum colleagues intrigued about the performing arts career, please feel free to explore the various links at the right. Thank you. --- Reg Bacon
A note on our cyber-world: Please note that time constraints preclude participation in MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, SpacedOut, or other networking sites. R.W. Bacon is fully engaged with today's technology, but he neither twitters nor chatters, and there is no separate daily blog site. (On this site, at the sidebar on the right, there are articles & essays, and more may be added.) Please be assured, however, that R.W. Bacon can be easily and readily contacted by e-mail or phone. Thank you for understanding.

Ideal Power Converters
What they do : Electronic power converters provide the infrastructure for clean energy use, including renewable energy production, smart power grids, improved building efficiency, and electric vehicles. Ideal Power Converters (IPC) has a patented new power-converter technology, and its products will improve cost efficiency and reliability for a variety of applications.
How we helped : Our primary focus for this deal was to better validate the market opportunity. Although Ideal Power Converters has already begun generating revenue through a licensing agreement with Lockheed Martin, there were several large markets that Ideal Power Converters could target. TVL associates looked at the total size of these markets as well as their competitive landscape.
The latest: IPC has just raised $1 million from the Texas Emerging Technology Fund, and also received funding from Battery Ventures. Having recently installed its first unit at the Austin Convention Center, IPC is hoping trial results will contribute to sales.

411 Games Top 5 10.19.12: The Top 5 Japanese-style RPGs
Posted by
Sean Garmer
on 10.19.2012
From Final Fantasy X and the Kingdom Hearts franchise to Disgaea 3, Valkyria Chronicles, Super Mario RPG and more, the 411 staff counts down their top 5 Japanese-style RPGs of all time!
Hello everyone, I hope it has been a good week for all the readers out there, Everyone loves a good old Japanese RPG right?
Stephen Randle (Writer of Wrestling News Experience in Wrestling Zone, Quizmaster of Four Player Co-op)
All right, because I'm sure everyone's tired of me gushing about both Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger, and they would have dominated my list originally, I took it upon myself to modify the requirements, so these are my Top 5 JRPG's that are not from the FF series or Chrono Trigger. Everyone got that?
5. Earthbound (Mother 2)
: These days, more people know Ness from his presence in Smash Bros, but back in the good old days, he was the main character of this quirky little RPG that led to many people to get really, really upset with Nintendo for not translating Mother 3 and bringing it out of Japan. I don't go that far, but I do enjoy this game and recognize how unique it is among all RPGs.
4. Suikoden
: The original tale of the 108 Stars of Destiny, an RPG that's simple to play but difficult to master. It's probably one of the first games I attempted to "100%" by finding all 108 characters, so that I could have the bitchingest castle ever, and yet I still find myself using the same group of six because let's face it, there are way too many playable characters in this game.
3. Super Mario RPG
: This was the greatest melding of minds in an RPG that some have ever seen, and the unfortunate thing is we'll never see its like (or many of the characters it introduced) ever again because of all the rights issues that followed. Come on, Nintendo, I want Geno and Mallow in the next Smash Bros!
2. Shining Force
: Much like Suikoden, others will say that the sequel was the better game, but I have always preferred the slightly more streamlined gameplay and story of the first iteration of the series. Would you believe how long it took me to figure out how to make this game much easier with abusing the EGRESS spell? I swear, I should have never gotten as far in the game as I did the first time I played it.
1. Persona 4
: Years ago, I heard of the Persona series and even played P2: Eternal Punishment. It was a frightfully difficult game that gave you no assistance in figuring out what you were supposed to do and I gave up on it in disgust after getting far enough in to be totally screwed. Recently, after re-discovering Persona 4 (and backtracking to P3: FES), I'm now eagerly awaiting the release of the next game in this awesome series. Come on, P4 has everything: clever writing, great voice acting, a riveting story involving murder, mystery, and magic, the incredible Social Link system, an alternate dimension full of monsters in multi-level themed dungeons, a giant blue teddy bear...what more do you want in a game?
Lee Jones (Reader Voice)
5 - Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice -
The one and only Disgaea game I've played, I enjoyed it, it had great tactical depth and the humour had me laughing but talk about 'grind', I just can't face another one. So this will remain my perfect Disgaea bubble that I will look back fondly on.
4 - Shadow Hearts -
Def the most Japanese game on my list. I fought alot of cats in this game, demonic cats of course. I never fully appreicated this game first time round, now I realise it was due to the culture difference. I did quite like the story though, pacing was good and it just seemed to get more epic.
3 - Valkyria Chronicles -
Oooo look pretty, this game is entirely hand drawn, I feel bad for the person during development days but they should be mighty proud of the result, and they actually stuck a good game on there too. A turn based game where you can freely move around the map until your time is up to get to the best positions. Death is actually meaningful so whilst you want your favs to be in the fight it's always a risk that you could lose them forever. Sure you could reload last save but then you might lose someone else you like so sometimes you just gotta cut your loses cause those battles can run on abit.
2 - Final Fantasy X -
My fav Final Fantasy, I never really like the scientific future one's so 9 and 10 were more to my tastes. Yes I know 10 had that but it wasn't a focus. This game has the best love story in gaming and I was glad to see my fellow contributors agreed with me in our Valentine's Top 5. Good cast of characters, abit of grinding needed but never felt like one (although my brother grinded up so much he could beat anything in a few hits, end bosses included), I'm hoping that HD version actually comes out at some point.
1 - Demon's Souls -
Who'd have thought it, gamers like a challenge. This game stuck 2 fingers up at the 'games need to be easier nowadays' line of thought and it made this title. It's a good game outside of the difficulty though and looks incredible. Every inch gained on map feels important as you never know when death will greet you, and it will, ALOT. Good use of other players, a form I hope other games incorporate rather than cut single player. This is a game that doesn't want you to beat it, so go prove it wrong!
Marc Morrison (Games Zone Reviewer)
Honorable Mentions --
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – This is the only real good (new-ish) Final Fantasy. I've not played any of the older ones, but from FF7 on, I've dabbled in them. And they are usually mostly terrible. Crisis Core isn't terrible though, because the hero isn't a brooding jackass, the battle system is dynamic and fun, and it actually made me care about some of the FF7 characters, something I never thought possible. It's the best Final Fantasy game by a WIDE margin.
Rogue Galaxy – I haven't dived too deep into the game, but it appears to be quite solid. It's basically anime Star Wars (complete with a homo-erotic robot companion) so hey, that's always fun. It didn't grab me enough to continue the game much, but I appreciated the work that went into it.
5. Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2
-- Both Kingdom Hearts games were really good on the PS2. KH1 had a slightly better (re: understandable) story and a novel idea, while KH2 had a better battle system and better RPG mechanics. Both games had their faults, notably the Gummi ship stuff, and the story in KH2, but it can be overlooked. How Square has ruined the Kingdom Hearts franchise with banal spin-off, prequel, and side-story garbage on every hand-held system has saddened me deeply. Hey Square, make Kingdom Hearts 3 already. And make it multiplatform.
4. Eternal Sonata/Tales of Vesperia
-- I'm lumping both of these games together because they complement each other fairly well. Eternal Sonata brings a good story, some great characters (Salsa and Viola), and a basic but fun battle system. Tales of Vesperia is like Sonata but on steroids, trading in the good story for a slightly worse one, but pumping up the battle system immensely, and all the side stuff you can do. You didn't really do any side activities in Sonata, but you can do a ton in Vesperia and it adds to the overall quality of the game.
3. Shadow Hearts: Covenant
-- Yes, because when you think JRPG, you think of a Midway published game. Actually though, the Shadow Hearts series was pretty solid, with Covenant being the best in the lot. It had a really interesting story, a neat "Judgment Ring" battle system, and some good character work as well. I actually own two copies of the game because I bought one, it didn't work (about half-way through), and I got another. Turns out it was just my PS2's laser that died. Still, that should tell you how much I enjoyed the game, for having gone out and got another copy.
2. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
-- While Persona 3 and Persona 4 tend to get high accolades; Nocturne is still the best in the series. While it doesn't have the school/dating sim of P3/P4, it does have a much better battle system, and deeper overall battle mechanics, with Press-Turns, and the moon-cycles effecting demon behavior in fights. The story is also completely crazy which adds a lot to the game. If you like anything Atlus has done in the past, you owe it to yourself to play Nocturne.
1. Suikoden 2
-- I keep bringing this game up in these lists for a reason: it is one of the best games ever made. The rune system is fun, the way it feeds into the other Suikoden games, the battle system is simple at first, but hard to master, and the story is masterful. Any Suikoden game can be played and enjoyed (except for Tactics, and the hand-held stuff), but Suikoden 2 is the best of the lot, and one of the all-time best games ever made. Also, Viki is such an adorable character, I wish she would have her own game.

Another classic DL lead. It is truly amazing what Pete was leading in 1967. Not sure how he placed the bolts? I placed a bolt next to the 2nd one in 1984 (old one was cracked). I did not remove old one for fear of scarring rock. Climb past the bolts and traverse left at roof on jugs, or send the direct out roofs to right and killer face above.
2 old bolts and a #2 frnd to back up top bolt.

It was a little bit away from town but once we figured it out, it wasn't a problem. The directions were very helpful.This is a very friendly and welcoming B&B with wonderful hosts. Both Julie and Steve were great resources on where to go and what to do. The breakfasts were delicious and healthy. The room was very clean and comfortable. The view was an extra bonus.

DALLAS –– Winspear and Kamau have a new roommate.
On Friday, the two 9-week-old cheetah cubs are getting to know their Labrador puppy Amani. As the Dallas Zoo notes on its website, animal experts have learned that the labrador will be a "calming influence" on the two cheetah cub and be their playmate through adulthood.
Still –– cheetah and labrador? A match made in heaven? I'm sure you have some questions, and my children certainly did. So we posed them to a Zoo official on Friday. Their answers are below.
From Luke, 11:
1. When the cheetahs grow up, will the dog live with them all day and all night?
Yes, the three boys will live together. Until our Animal Adventures staff is certain that they're fully comfortable and bonded with each other, they are supervised at all times when together.
2. Once the animals get used to each other, what will the cheetahs do if the dog leaves the habitat?
The animals will live together for their entire lives, but will also be trained so that they're OK with being separated from one another. This will allow us to take only one of them to an outside appearance, for instance.
3. What if the cheetahs attack the dog? Will the cheetahs get punished?
No. We make this a positive experience for the cheetahs and the dog. Through positive reinforcement training, we reward the behavior we like to see. That type of positive reinforcement is the key to success in animal training here at the zoo.
4. Where is the cheetahs' mother?
She's in Front Royal, Va., at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, a leader in animal conservation efforts. She had five cubs, which is a large litter for a mother cheetah. Kamau and Winspear are being hand-raised because they're part of our Animal Adventures program and must be acclimated enough to visit schools, hospitals and other public places to teach about conservation.
From Jackson, 14:
5. What is the growth rate of the Labrador to the cheetah?
Right now, the puppy weighs about twice what the cubs weigh. That's why we're extra-careful while they're getting to know each other. Puppies like to play, and we have to be sure he doesn't pounce on the cubs and hurt them! They'll grow at about the same rate; when grown, we expect all three to weigh about 90 pounds.
6. Once the cheetahs get bigger than the dog, will the dog be in danger?
No, Amani won't ever be in danger, for several reasons. First, they'll grow up together, so they'll be bonded to each other and will see each other as family. Second, he'll be big enough to hold his own. Amani's parents are both large dogs, and that was one reason we chose him. Thirdly, our animal care staff has a great deal of experience with animal behavior and would be able to address any problems before they develop.
From Olivia, 12:
7. Why did you pick a dog, instead of another animal to be the cheetahs' friend?
There have been many success stories with dogs and other species. Many people have a dog and cat at home, and realize that they can get along great together. The Labrador retriever is a strong, calm, loyal breed, and when they're outside the Zoo making visits to hospitals and schools, the cheetahs will take their cues from the dog. He'll be calm and mellow, and that will help the cheetahs remain that way, too.
8. What is the lifespan of the cheetah, compared to the dog?
They're about the same, about 12 years. Although as with any species, that number can be shorter or longer for an individual animal.
9. If one of them dies, how will that affect the others?
They may grieve for the one who's gone, as any littermate might. But death is part of the circle of life, and animals are very resilient. And it's not uncommon for cheetahs who are raised together to splinter off to live solitary lives, so they're wired to adjust to comings and goings. In addition, they will always have their human friends with whom they develop special bonds.

A candlelight vigil was held Sunday night in Marion to honor those who have lost a child.
First United Methodist Church in Marion hosted the vigil in memory of children who have died, whether through pregnancy, in infancy, in childhood or even into adulthood.
Names were read as candles were lit to remember a child, all of whom were gone too soon.
"It's important," said organizer Amy Tersinar. "It's an important part of the healing process, and just having other families around who are going through the same thing that you're going through and understand what you're going through this time of the year and throughout the year is very important to the families."
Tersinar says she lost her daughter in August 2009, and wanted to help others with the grieving process.
The vigil was all part of a national candlelight service that's held to provide support to families who have lost a child.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Destiny!
Facts about Destiny
- Breed: Boxer Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Destiny's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Other Pets at BFF Pet Adoptions
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Destiny, a Silsbee Boxer puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Silsbee, or seeking a Boxer puppy from a breeder in Silsbee.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Silsbee already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Silsbee breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Silsbee paves the way for another one to be saved.

Anyone sick of Sarah Palin and her "victimhood"?
Original post made by Tony M. on Jun 16, 2009
Web Link
on Jun 16, 2009 at 9:38 am
Wow! take a look at the mug of the author of the article Debra J. Saunders! She should demand an apology from her parents for them breeding and I think I know why she is jealous of Sarah Palin
on Jun 16, 2009 at 9:41 am
In a hastily called press conference, Sarah Palin - the Governor of Alaska and a key to Republican success in the 2008 Presidential election -- was today named as the United State's first "Humor Czar"; a newly created position in The Department Of Homeland Security. Palin, who is as well known for her intellect as her sense of humor, will be responsible for overseeing and approving all of America's "jokes, gags, satire, mirth, merriment, irony, one liners, bits, sketches and other humor related materials."
on Jun 16, 2009 at 9:44 am
At the news conference, Palin was flanked by comedians Larry The Cable Guy and Dennis Miller. Both expressed support for Palin and agreed comedy had gone 'too far' in a direction they called "un-funny, un-American and un-good." When asked by reporter Tommy Christopher about the ramifications of mass censorship, Mr. The Cable Guy replied, "Censorship? Git 'er done!". Most reporters chuckled, especially when Governor Palin glared at them with a wide, twisted grin on her face.

Why are clients buying less but paying more? ALM's editor-in-chief may have the answer (video)
Posted Sep 12, 2013 12:25 PM CDT
By Lee Pacchia
Aric Press, editor in chief of American Lawyer Media, talks with Bloomberg Law's Lee Pacchia about the latest data on the financial performance of law firms.
"The legal marketplace is a complex entity. Parts of it have recovered, parts of it haven't," says Press. "You can walk through the halls of virtually any major law firm that you can name, and you will find people busier than they've ever been–and others down the hall twiddling their thumbs."
When Pacchia asks why market forces wouldn't be lowering costs for clients across the board, Press makes a medical analogy. "If you need a heart operation, you need a heart operation. You're not going to delay it. If you need a critical piece of legal work done, you're going to have it done, without a lot of negotiating about cost. If what you need is a little bit of cosmetic surgery, or something else that's optional, you might demand a serious discount, or you might go shopping."

Technology and Innovation – America's Comeback
Throughout its history America's great innovators have been the real drivers of America's unsurpassed economic success. Innovation creates jobs, markets, and new industries where none existed before.
Keynote Speaker: Gary Shapiro
President & CEO, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)
Shapiro has spent 30 years at the forefront of America's innovative industry, witnessing firsthand the most exciting, groundbreaking innovations the world has ever known. His time in the Washington trenches, fighting for our nation's innovators, has shown him that when America leads in innovation, America – and the world – moves forward.
His New York Times bestseller, The Comeback: How Innovation Will Restore the American Dream, is a clarion call to the present generation that the America we know, that our parents and grandparents sacrificed for, is courting disaster. It is a disturbing analysis of the state and depth of America's current decline, but from the economy's collapse we have a chance to engineer a true American comeback that reasserts America's hegemony in the world. It starts with innovation.

unique new york
so today was a doozy.
i woke up in a snit
(thanks to a body that isn't quite working and a heart that is a little troubled)
put myself thru a grueling work out
only to step out of the shower and step right onto a dog bone
(what a nice shower sacrifice offering, stella)
which split my foot open and i bled everywhere.
{ sweet }
next, i entered the elevator to find a note saying the hot water in the building will be off for the next. three. days.
{ sweet }
then, on my way to my voiceover audition, i was heckled by a construction worker singing "get down on it" as a question (?) when i walked by.
then... the home run:
a seemingly normal looking man in a business suit approached me on the street. thinking he needed directions, i stopped.
him: "miss! you're a beautiful woman! i just don't even know WHERE to look!
[me in my head: please don't look anywhere!]
i'm sure men have stopped you in the street over and over and i just want to be respectful and say if i politely slipped you a card with my number, i promise i'd be the best b*tch you've ever had."
um... now that's a first!
if i had my wits, i would have kicked him where it counts but i was too
flabbergasted so i just said,
"nooooooo" and raced to my commercial audition.
and cried a good cry.
today was hard.
but now i'm laughing.... that was classic.

Are you sure this is your life and not some bad, bad script for a sit-com that will never see the light of day? PLEASE make it stop!
No, I know it HAS to be true because in a bad sit-com you would have tried to kick him and somehow cut your other foot.
So, so, sorry. You need several macaron ice cream sandwiches to make it alllll better. (ps, how's your foot?) Please hang in there.

BUST Magazine
Date: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 - 5:00 pm
Duration: 1 Day
Repeat Event: Every Day
Moves Boston presents...Hot Buffet (a dystopian musical satire) October 16-18 and October 24-25 * doors at 7:30, curtain at 8 Cambridge Family YMCA Theatre (820 Mass. Ave., Cambridge) Gen: $15/adv, $20/door VIP: $20/adv. (buy online at www.bigmoves.org) $10/student rush all shows, 15 minutes before curtain 10/16 show is pay-what-you-can preview** Limited dinner/dessert menu; tasting packages are also available online. After studying culinary arts for 7 years in Europe, Andrea returns to a United States she barely recognizes. By 2028, dieting is practically a religion, sexuality is stuffed tightly away, and the state has no qualms about interfering in either. Andrea's friend Chrissy has a unique role in this brave new world: she's a dancer and professional eater at Hot Buffet, one of the few establishments in the city where patrons can indulge just about any carnal appetite. Andrea gets work in the kitchen, and Chrissy is making money hand over chocolate-smeared fist. Meanwhile, the Boss and her lover, the Emcee, do their best to keep the joint jumping, the marks fed, and their little family safe from the chaos and uncertainty in the outside world. But as society's disdain for the pleasures of the flesh boils over into outright persecution, the tattered velvet ropes at the Hot Buffet may not be enough to keep the mobs at bay. With ensemble dancers of all shapes and sizes, and a passionate cast drawn from the best of Boston's community theater scene, Hot Buffet delivers a searing, terrifying indictment of a Big Brother future we can't ignore and may not be able to escape. At the YMCA Theatre, Hot Buffet audiences will be drawn into the seedy world, with the drama, dance and action penetrating WAY beyond the edge of the stage. VIP patrons not only get the best sightlines, but also the best chance of having a Backdoor Fudge Delight displayed and devoured right there. Meanwhile, general seats have an excellent view of the sensual carnival that spills off the stage. NOTE: this show is for MATURE AUDIENCES, owing to adult themes and partial nudity.

Fundamental Thyra ANA Operator/Vector interfaces (Note: above graphic is not hyper-linked!)
Thyra::VectorSpaceFactoryBase is the basic factory interface for creating
Thyra::VectorSpaceBase objects given a dimension.
Thyra::VectorSpaceBase is the fundamental abstract interface for a vector space that defines the scalar product and factory functions for creating
Thyra::VectorBase and
Thyra::MultiVectorBase objects.
Thyra::VectorBase is the fundamental abstract interface for finite-dimensional vectors.
Thyra::LinearOpBase is the fundamental abstract interface for linear operators.
Thyra::MultiVectorBase is the fundamental abstract interface for collections of column vectors.
These interface classes rely on a few basic types and basic exception classes.
One important paper describing the RTOp approach, which provides the foundation for
RTOpPack::RTOpT, can be found in this paper. Note that
RTOpPack::RTOpT is a refinement of the C and C++ RTOp interfaces described in the aforementioned paper.

No More Tangles. Falls are the No. 1 cause of accidental death for construction workers. I've heard many carpenters and roofers complain that conventional fall-arrest systems — with their tangle of lifelines, rope grabs, and lanyards — are themselves dangerous. However, self-retracting lifelines like Protecta's Rebel CT are easy to set up and virtually eliminate tripping hazards. The Rebel CT has 15 feet of cable and is suitable for workers weighing up to 310 pounds. It costs $210. Capital Safety, 800/328-6146. www.capitalsafety.com

He was made captain of the Slytherin Quidditch Team, taking over from Montague in 1996/1997 and playing the position of Chaser. He doesn't seem to have played on the Quidditch team before that year. He brought in new Chaser Vaisey, but kept the Keeper, Seeker and Beaters of the previous year.[1] He was unable to lead the team to victory that year, the Gryffindor team winning the Quidditch Cup instead.[2]

Backpacker Magazine – September 2008
We've got a selection of cozy shelters and trail-side restaurants from Washington to Maine. Check out these hikes in the Rockies, the Northeast, and the Northwest.
2 days
Cibola National Forest, NM
Leave your stove–not your appetite–behind on this 25.5-mile overnighter on the Sandia Crest Trail, 30 minutes east of Albuquerque. From the South Crest trailhead, climb 4,000 feet over 13.5 miles to the High Finance Restaurant (reservations required, 505-243-9742) for prime rib and a microbrew. Camp off-trail nearby and–after a cold breakfast–cruise downhill 12 miles through aspen groves to the North Crest trailhead. fs.fed.us/r3/cibola
3 days
Glen Canyon NRA, UT
Don't haul water–basecamp at an oasis. From the trailhead on Fortymile Ridge Road, drop two miles to Coyote Gulch through Crack-in-the-Wall. The gulch's seeps feed cottonwoods, creating a shady camp a couple of miles upstream from the Escalante River. Over the next two days, do side trips to swooping Cliff Arch; pictographs near Coyote Natural Bridge; and 100-foot wide Jacob Hamblin Arch and its nearby reliable spring. Deer flies subside in the fall, making a tent optional too. nps.gov/glca
4 days
10th Mountain Division Huts, CO
Score alpine views and bag a peak on this classic hut trek linking two 10th Mountain Division huts on a Holy Cross Wilderness 20-miler. From Tennessee Pass, hike 5.7 miles to the 10th Mountain Division Hut at 11,370 feet. The next day, trek 11.3 miles to Uncle Bud's Hut for a two-night stay. On day three, gain the 12,580-foot summit of Galena Mountain. Day four: Hike out four miles to the Timberline Lake trailhead on the west end of Turquoise Lake. huts.org
You completely missed the High Sierra Caps in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. The tent cabins have linens. There are hot showers, and some of the best chefs in the state of California come up there to cook for the campers.
You can hike great backcountry with nothing more than your clothes, a liner sheet, and a toothbrush
I saw 2 chupacabra's on the at near massie's gap.
Yosemite and other great national parks have "tent cabins" you can camp in and are surrounded by very beautiful areas. What about Big Sur? I'm not quite sure I would have called the title luxury camping. There are places in WA that have cabins you can hike to and will have your bed and food waiting for you when you arrive and will pack a lunch for you the next day; that would be luxury to me and I didn't notice it on the list.
The AT is constantly being mentioned in lists similar to this one. As for the south: what really attracts people to go there for outdoor activities? Unless you want to go out hiking in the woods and be hanged by some "hill billies" wearing white hoods, I'd stick to the greater areas west of the Mississippi (being Mexican I would never visit the south).
One strong vote for the Harriman and Bear Mtn walk above. I know the area - I live nearby - and it's quite nice.
I'm not sure who put this list together but the title is certainly misleading. Huts and off trail camp spots do not luxury make. If you want great digs and dining, try the Rogue River trail. A hike to the Oregon coast that will not be forgotten. You need nothing more than a daypack and a camera for 4 full days of adventure and backcountry lodges.
Thanks for leaving Vermont off - I appreciate it.
I find it interesting how often the mid-atlantic gets passed over by the outdoor press. 500 plus miles (more than any other state) of the AT are in VA, you'd think we would be mentioned a bit more in these types of features.
I know we're not as sexy as the northwest, the sierras, or the rockies...but come on man, how about some love for VA!
LeConte Lodge in GSMNP is great. 5 different approach trails provide plenty of variety. Don't forget to order the bottomless glass of wine with dinner.
How about the Cranberry Backcountry in West Virginia? Fairly wild, but there are also several Appalachian trail shelters available. This is bear country, though we saw no bears. I backpacked there 15 years ago, so check with the Gauley Ranger District about trail shelters and whether bear canisters are needed.
How about California? Couldn't find anything out here? 30 million of us feel left out.
Garrett County, Maryland is filled with several state parks and forest areas, as well as a large lake. We are a 4 season resort area & even have a recirculating whitewater course for those who like to compete and those who have never tried it. We even offer an Adventure Sports Program at the college.
If not "the south" a couple in the mid-Atlantic between Maryland and Georgia. We do have the AT afterall, and a lot of supporting terrain.
How about the south, please? More particularly, Virginia.
Nothing in the South because we're hillbillies...we go hikin in the woods and can git any food we need with our shotguns...
I agree, would like to see one or more of these listed for Virginia.
Why not anywhere in virginia, I know Virginia Backcountry in Damascus can provide all those things.
why not anywhere in Tennessee
What about the South??

Reggie Wilson/Fist & Heel Performance Group is a Brooklyn based dance company which blends contemporary dance with African traditions. The company makes brilliant new performance from the spiritual traditions of the African Diaspora. Wilson draws on the movement idioms of Blues, Slave and Worship cultures to create what he calls "Post-African Neo Hoodoo Modern dance". Accompanied by their own driving rhythms--body percussion, aspirated breath, singing and shouts--Fist & Heel blends deep ritual into potent, beautiful and energizing contemporary dance.
Fist & Heel will perform "The Tale: Npinpee Nckutchie and the Tale of the Golden Dek," which explores intimacy and devotion, libido and love in a seamless collage of music and dance. Eight performers explore the complicated rituals of coupling, the ancient sensual dances of lovers. Stepping, stomping, shouting and strutting --- embodying the elegant invitations and rejections of the sexes, Wilson and company draw on traditions that range from the earliest fist and heel styles developed during the slaving era to the step dances that gave rise to urban dance sensations like the Big Apple, Lindy Hop, Electric Slide and Chicago-Style Stepping.
Saturday, April 4, 2009
Performance at 8:00 PM

OverPower is a collectible card game designed by Michael and Theodore Stern and produced by Fleer. It features characters from Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Image Comics.
OverPower is played between 2 players and the decks they have put together. A deck consists of 4 Character cards, 7 Mission cards and at least 51 other cards that will make up their draw pile. Players may elect to include Location cards in their decks as well.
Before the start of the game, both players will decide which 3 characters they want to put on the frontline and which remaining character to be the reserve. Both players draw 8 cards per battle, ventures a number of Mission cards and take turns attacking until their hand is exhausted or one player decides to concede the battle. The winner of the battle completes their Missions and the loser's missions are defeated.
The game continues until one player either completes all of their Missions or if all of their Missions are defeated. The game also ends if one player loses all 4 of their characters.

Martin Volken gets a kick out of seeing adults coming into his North Bend ski shop to buy Alpental stickers.
"Grown men buying stickers to put on their car," Volken said with a chuckle. "People around here have a strange emotional connection to this place."
As owner of Pro Ski and Guide Service, Volken understands this connection.
"Alpental is a gem," Volken said. "It's a throwback. It's a place to park your car and ski double-diamonds all day."
Volken, 40, grew up in Switzerland before moving to Western Washington in his early 20s. Since then he's made a name for himself as one of Washington's best backcountry skiers.
Like most expert skiers who spend most of their time at the Summit at Snoqualmie, he rarely leaves Alpental.
The Summit's other three areas – West, Central and East – don't have much to offer experts.
"But they are the best beginner areas in the state," Volken said. "That's the one thing the Summit is missing. It is great for experts, backcountry skiers and beginners, but it's missing the stuff in the middle for the intermediates."
That said, Volken still loves the place. Here's his tips for experiencing the Summit.
"It's a mini-freeride paradise," Volken said. "It's the Summit's rowdy child."
The backcountry is loaded with expert terrain, and skiing International, a steep double-diamond run, is considered a right of passage in Washington.
"Alpental's terrain is wild and rowdy, and that's why people like it there so much," Volken said. "When I get done up there I feel like I've been on a crazy rodeo ride."
The terrain park at Summit Central has a reputation as one of the best in the Northwest.
"It's a high-end experience that brings an expert level to the small terrain," Volken said. "It's part of the beauty of that young sport."
"Back in my days of ample cartilage we used to make some pretty good bump runs on Triple 60," Volken said of the advanced run at Summit Central. "It's the perfect pitch even though it's not a long run."
Formerly Hyak, this two-lift hill is a nice place for family skiing even though it offers only 1,100 vertical feet, Volken said.
"It also is surprisingly scenic," Volken said of the views of the Gold Creek Valley.
Red Mountain Coffee opened last season in an old Department of Transportation maintenance building and is already becoming a favorite stop because of its coffee, pizza and views of the ski hill.
No Washington resort has more kid-friendly terrain or more instructors. Alpental's International is arguably the state's most storied run. The terrain park is loaded.
The lift lines are pure torture on weekends and holidays.
Vertical drop: 2,280 feet
Lifts: At Alpental, take the Armstrong Express to the Edelweiss Chair.
Hardest way down: Take the sheer slope of Upper International to another steep double-diamond face called Adrenalin. Finish up on single-diamond Lower International, the base area's intermediate slopes.
Easiest way down: Take the advanced Edelweiss Bowl to the intermediate Cascade Traverse run and finally the beginner St. Bernard run.
Alpental has a new 10,000-square-foot heated plaza with fire pits. The road to Alpental has been resurfaced. New features have been added to Summit Central's terrain park.
Lift tickets: $50 general, $33.73 ages 7-12 and 62-69, $9.79 ages 6 and younger and 70 and older
Season pass: $399 general, $299 ages 7-12 and 62-69, $259 ages 13-18, $359 college students, $59 ages 6 and younger and 70 and older. Prices good through Oct. 31.
Night skiing: $33.73 general, $28.29 ages 7-12 and 62-69, $9.79 age 6 and younger and 70 and older; 15 lifts
Hours: 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Terrain: 1,916 acres served by lifts; one superpipe, two terrain parks, two beginner parks
Lifts: 26 (two high-speed quads, two fixed quads, four triples, 11 doubles, three rope tows, two carpets, two handle tows)
Trails: 65 runs (14 percent beginner, 45 percent intermediate, 41 percent advanced)
Summit elevation: 5,450 feet at Alpental, 3,765 feet at Summit West
Base elevation: 3,140 feet at Alpental, 3,000 feet at Summit West
Vertical drop: 2,310 feet at Alpental, 765 feet at Summit West
Annual snowfall: 444 inches
Cross-country: 50 kilometers accessed via the Summit East's Keechelus or the Summit Central's Silver Fir chair.

Day of the Dead (the sequel to George Romero's Dawn of the Dead), followed by Land of the Dead, is a prominent zombie horror film.
- John: We don't believe in what you're doing here, Sarah. Hey, you know what they keep down here in this cave? Man, they got the books And the records of the top 100 companies. They got the Defense Department budget down here. And they got the negatives for all your favorite movies. They got microfilm with tax return and newspaper stories. They got immigration records, census reports, and they got the accounts of all the wars and plane crashes and volcano eruptions and earthquakes and fires and floods and all the other disasters that interrupted the flow of things in the good ole U.S. of A. Now what does it matter, Sarah darling? All this filing and record keeping? We ever gonna give a shit? We even gonna get a chance to see it all? This is a great, big 14 mile TOMBSTONE! with an epitaph on it that nobody gonna bother to read. Now, here you come. Here you come with a whole new set of charts and graphs and records. What you gonna do? Bury them down here with all the other relics of what... once... was? Let me tell you what else. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you what else. You ain't never gonna figure it out, just like they never figured out why the stars are where they're at. It ain't mankind's job to figure that stuff out. So what you're doing is a waste of time, Sarah. And time is all we got left, you know. What I'm doing is all there's left to do. Shame on you. There's plenty to do. Plenty to do, so long as there's you and me and maybe some other people. We could start over, start fresh, get some babies and teach 'em, Sarah, teach 'em never to come over here and dig these records out. You want to put some kind of explanation down here before you leave? Here's one as good as any you're likely to find. We've been punished by the creator. He visited a curse on us. So we might get a look at... what hell was like. Maybe didn't want to see us blow ourselves up and put a big hole in the sky... maybe he just wanted to show us he was still the bossman. Maybe he figured we was getting too big for our britches... trying to figure his shit out.

- Dr. Logan: That's right, Bub! Say hello to your Aunt Alicia! Say, "Hello, Aunt Alicia!" "Hello!"

- Ted Fisher: What's he trying to prove? I once saw one of those things sitting behind the wheel of a car in D.C. trying to drive down Independence Avenue. It didn't make me want to be its friend.

Remember Me
Kalida senior Summer Holtkamp draws a lot of attention from Swanton Tuesday night in their Division III regional semifinal on the turf of Ottawa Hills High School. The LadyCats posted a 4-0 shutout to advance to Saturday's 3 p.m. finals versus the Ontario/Doylestown Chippewa winner at a site TBD.
OTTAWA HILLS — The Kalida's girls soccer team came out a little flat as they squared off against Swanton in a Division III regional semifinal contest at Ottawa Hills High School Tuesday night.The early jitters didn't last long.Once the LadyCats fired off a couple of shots, they dominated the Bulldogs in posting a 4-0 win at Norm Niedermeier Field.The win sends Kalida (19-0-1) to the Division III regional finals Saturday afternoon against either Doylestown Chippewa or Ontario at a site to be determined. The Chippewa-Ontario contest was postponed Tuesday and will be played Thursday.Swanton (11-8-1) came out the aggressor as they were able to keep the ball on the Kalida defensive side of the field. Once the LadyCats were able to get a couple of runs on the Bulldog goal, it helped them relax and play their game."The first couple of minutes, we were a little flat," Kalida coach David Kehres said. "Swanton had the possession of the ball and we were like 'come on girls; let's get it together.' It took us about 10 minutes and once we got that first goal, everyone was fired up."Kalida's first two goals came after Swanton goalie Jenna Carr was unable to handle shots on goal by Kalida.Senior Summer Holtkamp scored the LadyCats' first goal as she was there to pick up a rebound that Carr could not handle with 19:59 left in the half. Fellow senior Skylar Basinger chased down a long pass and went at the Bulldog goalie as she fired a shot that Carr knocked down and had roll to her right, where Holtkamp got a foot on the ball and pushed it into an open net.Just over seven minutes later, Kalida took advantage of another loose ball to go up 2-0. Sophomore Jackie Gardner got a run at the Swanton goal and fired a shot that Carr once again knocked down. Freshman Brittany Kahle was there to pick up the loose ball and put it in the net with 12:23 left in the half.
"We always tell the girls they need to say 'hi' to the goalie, follow up the shot when someone takes a shot because you never know if they are going to bobble it," Kehres said. "We told them that again tonight because of the ground being wet, the ball was going to be slippery; it might skip; we told them to follow that shot up. That's how we got our first two goals because we followed it up; that's what we practice. The plan worked to perfection."Although the Wildcats had a 2-0 halftime lead, Kehres knew they needed another goal or two as no lead is safe in the tournament."I have a lot of confidence in my defense," Kehres continued. "But you never know how things are going to work out in the second half. You don't know what kind of weather to expect the second half, (like) if the wind is going to pick up and play a factor. The defense came ready to play tonight and we played stellar. I'm proud of these girls; this is a great win for these girls."Gardner scored a pair of second-half goals as Carr, once again, had trouble handling the wet ball.After Gardner sent an early shot wide, she got two shots into the back of the net.With 31:12 left to play, Gardner lined up to take a direct kick after a foul was called on a Swanton player at the 21-yard line. Gardner lined a high shot on goal that Carr attempted to make a leaping save on, only to have it go off her hands and into the net for a 3-0 lead.Gardner's second goal came with 28:48 left after she fired a shot from the left side of the goal that snuck past Carr and rolled along the goal mouth before rolling into the net.Kalida had a 12-7 edge in shots on-goal as Sarah Verhoff made four saves in the win, which was the LadyCats' fourth shutout of the tournament. Carr had five saves for the Bulldogs.

From the utensils to the water glass, it can be hard to remember where everything goes. That's why I've put together this helpful slideshow — learn how to create an elegant place setting now. Begin with a placemat. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Start by placing chairs around your dining table. You should have one per guest. Cover the table with a nice cloth, or if desired, use placemats. 1 / 10 Center your dinner plate. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Place one plate directly in front of each chair. Center it on top of the placemat. 2 / 10 Set the napkin down. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fold a cloth napkin and place it to the left of the plate. 3 / 10 Arrange the forks in order. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The forks should always be to the left of the plate and go on top of the napkin. The smallest fork (the salad or appetizer fork) goes on the outside, while the larger fork (for the entree) goes on the inside. 4 / 10 Balance out the place setting with a knife and spoon. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Place the knife directly to the right of the plate. If serving a course that requires a spoon, set the spoon to the right of the knife. 6 / 10 Add the water glass. . . What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The water glass goes directly above the knife to the upper right of the plate. 6 / 10 . . .and the red wine glass. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Place the red wine glass next to the water glass. 7 / 10 Don't forget the white wine glass as well! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The white wine glass should go next to the red wine glass. To ensure that it fits on the placemat, set to the right of and below the red wine glass. 8 / 10 Add simple embellishments. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't forget to add candles, placecards, or other little decorations. Simple embellishments will make the meal more festive. 9 / 10 You're golden! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A general rule for setting the table: the utensils and glasses farthest away from the plate are used first. The utensils and glasses closer to the plate are used later in the meal. If serving bread, the bread plate should be placed directly above the forks with a butter knife set across the middle. 11 / 10 22 4 6 0 0 Read More Place SettingSlideshowThanksgiving TipsTablescapeThanksgivingHolidayHow ToTips Holiday 100+ of the Best DIY Gifts Ever 6 days ago Make Your Coffee Table Gorgeous With These Beauty Books 2 weeks ago 40+ Life-Changing Books to Read This Summer 7/22 How to Assemble a Pinterest-Worthy Cheese Plate 7/08 101 Memoirs Penned by Famous Females 6/29 40 Killer Vegetarian Appetizers 6/24 Thanksgiving The Basics: Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream 6/04 Harlow, Sage, and Indi Will Melt Your Heart 5/03 A Wild-Rice Stuffing Recipe You'll Want to Eat Year-Round 4/09 2 Totally Tricked-Out Takes on the Baked Potato 3/10 Bake a Batch of Tasty Goodness: Ginger Molasses Cookies With Quinoa Flour 3/08 Damaris Phillips's Modern Spin on 2 Southern Sides 2/24 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Elizabeth Arden Crystal Clear Lip Gloss is a nice basic clear gloss. Running a bit on the thicker side, this is a great gloss for when you need some extra staying power. Although a bit thick, it does not suffer from any stickiness that other thick clear glosses sometimes have. Overall, it gives a nice, fairly long lasting, medium shine.
What I particularly like about this gloss is that it has tiny hint of mint to it. That makes it quite nice to wear alone, although it works just fine over lipstick as well. I have only one real complaint. Instead of coming in a squeeze tube, I wish this came in a tube with a brush. But hey, can't have everything, and it does apply just fine with fingers or your own brush.

'Top Gun' director dead
LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) — Tony Scott, director of such Hollywood hits as Top Gun, Days of Thunder, and Beverly Hills Cop II, died Sunday after jumping from a towering suspension bridge spanning Los Angeles harbour and leaving behind several notes to loved ones, authorities said.
The 68-year-old Scott's death was being investigated as a suicide, Los Angeles County Coroner's Lt Joe Bale said.
"I can confirm that Tony Scott has passed away. The family asks that their privacy is respected at this time," Scott's spokesman, Simon Halls, said in a statement.
