A word from Don the Beachcomber
Enjoy fresh seafood, tender steaks, famous burgers, huge salads and over a dozen Pupu's (appetizers) with an Island Inspired Flare and an eye toward value without sacrificing quality. Quite simply put, the food is great!! Don the Beachcomber will take you back to Polynesia in a heavy Tiki themed dining room and banquet rooms complete with waterfalls reminiscent of vintage Hawaii. The bartenders at Don's Dagger Bar will craft some of the most delicious and creative (and original!) of Don's tropical cocktails! Banquet facilities and for 20 to over 200 in a fun and unique tropical setting with plenty of free parking. While the average cost of our steak and seafood offerings with a drink and tip range from $31 to $50 we also offer a selection of entree sized salads, and three burger sandwiches featuring prime beef, broiled chicken, or Kalua pork for $12 to $14 per item.Continued

- Great AmbianceLoveSFDined on 11/6/2014We had never been here before even though we lived in the area for over 40 years. Found it via OpenTable and it was a very nice surprise. It has a Tahitian theme with lots of bamboo everywhere and an extremely cool and very large set piece containing Tiki Idols, lots of plants and waterfalls right in the main dining room. Food was good as was the service and after our meal we were drawn to the bar area where a lively guitar duo played classical music. The Martini I had was excellent (Tanqueray straight up). There was ample parking and room for large parties. A very nice theme type restaurant and bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- cant go backalanDined on 11/1/2014HI. when I was young my folks would go to the beachcomber on Michigan avenue in Chicago and when I got old enough I went too and then I took my dates there too. it was across the street from the playboy club. it was a terrific place with all kinds of cantoneese foods. the décor was southsea and the drinks, a real upscale place where the meals cost about 3 dollors 50 years ago. the beachcomber in hunting beach is trying to be the old beachcomber. the décor is southsea again I have some pictures and some of the food also. the pressed duck is not how remember it but then it was 50 years ago. I would go back again when in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hawiian delighteztuplzDined on 10/29/2014If you've ever been to Sunset Beach you may remember Sam's Seafood. You could see the Sam's lighted up fish for miles. It became Don The Beachcomber a few years back and basically has the same decor. The menu has changed and I was pleased with the selections. I picked the Rib Eye which was served with a pineapple slice on top, deep fried onion strings, garlic potatoes and interesting vegetables. I'll get again. We'll put Don The Beachcomber on our "to go to list". Our server was great and attentive. We were there early, but I believe they have entertainment later in the evening too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go to drink among loud rowdy folksPatTKDined on 9/20/2014Thought we were going to nice Hawaiian themed restaurant. Hoped for Hawaiian music and Polynesian food. Food and drinks may have been fine, but the noise (music and shouting) from two rooms away was too intrusive to tell. The folks in this other room, must have been regulars. They appeared to know and get what they came for. Noise ratings should off "Very Loud". "Energetic" is not negatively descriptive.Special Features:
- Below-average & NOT Kid FriendlyUserDined on 8/31/2014This restaurant should really remove the feature: "Kid friendly" from its list. The restaurant is basically separated into 3 parts. Bar, Dining Room and Banquet Room. The Dining Room area is right next to the bar. It was LOUD and rowdy. Fit for anyone who wants to drink. The dining area seated a few families with small children, our party included. The ambiance was way too loud for the children. There is no changing area for small babies. The food that came from children's menu looked like old food that has been microwaved. It was not pleasant at all. Our food was average, nothing to really leave us wanting to come back. Although service was nice, once we got our food, we hardly saw our server. We will not want to revisit this place.Special Features:
- AliceBDined on 8/30/2014Sorry - very disappointed. Very limited menu. Not the Don the Beachcomber menu that I remember. Service was spotty. No coffee refills were offered. Bar poured a decent drink. Remember this location as Sam's Seafood many years ago.Special Features:
- Fun EveningcarollVIPDined on 8/2/2014OMGosh. A throwback to the days of the original Tiki Bar and Polynesian dining. It was a fun evening with great food and service. The coconut shrimp was yummy. Our Chilean sea bass and king crab entrees were very good too. The service was friendly, informative and helpful. My cocktail was a generous pour. The only knock we have is the wine list was slim. Next time we will know to bring our own wine and pay a corkage fee. There was also live music in the dining room through most of our meal. He was very good and it added to the ambiance of the evening .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Island Style1AdventurousDinerDined on 8/2/2014The place is very nice with the island style decor. The food is great and so are the drinks. I was a bit disappointed because I changed the reservation to coincide with the ukulele entertainment, and found out that the area only had seating for large parties, and we were only a party of two. It was nice to hear the live music, but felt visually deprived.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/2/2014This was my first time at Don's. It was a fun place...Hawaiian-themed, and nice music. The food quality left something to be desired. I ordered the surf and turf...6oz filet and 6oz lobster tail. The filet felt like Sirloin and was dry. The lobster tail was also dry. I don't think anyone in our party was impressed by the quality of the food. Though we did enjoy the short rib appetizer. Perhaps it was just an off night at Don's?Special Features:
- The following 242 reviews are from the Don the Beachcomber reviews archive.
- EGC2005Dined on 7/22/2014I took three out-of-town friends to dinner while they were here for a conference. Don's is definitely quirky with kitschy decor and "mystery" recipe drinks, and all three of them enjoyed it! We had the special "Hawaiian chicken and waffles" and fish and chips. The chicken was a teeny bit dry and overbreaded but good flavor with the mix of items across the dish, french fries were nondescript and unimpressive. Fish was terrific and cooked perfectly. Our server was slow to get to the table and did not return once to refill drinks or check on us. Prices were fine. My guests had fun and enjoyed their visit, but it was not particularly spectacular. I'd go back for the ambiance and the uniqueness of the experience more than the food.Special Features:
- enjoyed itOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/19/2014very nice setting - something special. food is very good. great cocktails. bread pudding was awesome. life music Sat, Sun nightSpecial Features:
- Special OccasionluvtoeatDined on 7/17/2014Great place to have a Birthday for a friend or family member, as our family did celebrating my mom's Birthday. Great Service and atmospher.Special Features:
- Tiki TimeDiscerningDinerVIPDined on 7/13/2014This place is a throwback to the days when tiki theme restaurants were all the rage. It is very cute, tiki theme throughout. The food was good, We started with the sticky ribs which were very good. I got the panko crusted fish and chips that was tasty but nothing special. It was a fun dinner, however the service was less than great, we had to wait for everything and after the food was dropped off we never saw our server again until we were finished. But that might have just been a fluke, I'd still recommend this place for a fun night out as they had a karaoke bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HotMissy73Dined on 7/3/2014The tropical steering was nicely done but it extended to hot and humid inside as well. Honestly that is the only thing I didn't like and would go back on a cold night for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great evening outNowKJDined on 6/21/2014Had some drinks off their menu. The Penang Anting Anting and the Navy Grog were both excellent. Had the Mahi Mahi off their weekly specials menu, it was perfect. Fast and attentive service. I love the atmosphere here. Like stepping into a tropical dream.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor customer serviceSkipVIPDined on 6/20/2014We walked in and the front desk person...was going crazy! Walking around not knowing what to do first. Grab menus, seat the next party, answer the phone, or greet guest walking in. The restaurant could use a little tlc and remodel!
- Hawaii in Sunset Beach!SolojrnyDined on 6/7/2014Love the decor and ambience of this restaurant. Takes you back to Hawaii. My one complaint would be the noise level. There was music playing that was WAY TOO LOUD. Very distracting. And a large party in a nearby banquet room had their own loud music too. So both were warring with each other. Cold hardly talk to my dinner guest. Would love to hear some quiet Hawaiian music playing. That would complete the "Hawaiian" experience I was hoping for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time to the BeachcomberatdapinVIPDined on 5/31/2014We went for the first time to DtB and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Ahi tacos were great and the lobster noodles were fantastic. Great service and fun atmosphere. My wife was extremely happy with the "painkiller" cocktail.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food, AtmosphereEllenTHVIPDined on 5/26/2014We had the crab sandwiches, which were good, not wonderful. The sandwich included fries and delicious onion rings. The atmosphere was polynesian, somewhat dated. Here's why we were there for dinner. Tom Kubis' band was playing. They play the last Monday of each month. The band was awesome. So very happy that the Beachcomber provides a venue for the band. Great service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TIKI HAVENbradVIPDined on 5/24/2014One of the last of the dozens of Tiki inspired restaurants left in So Cal. Great drink assortment, PU-PU's and Polynesian themed entrees. Think teriyaki rib eye, Huli Huli chicken and their own version of pressed duck. If you love everything Tiki and retro then this place is a must go. It's pretty much the same as it's been for the last 3 decades.Special Features:
- Mothers Day Added GratuityOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/11/2014The staff was very nice and the restaurant looked awesome. The spread of food options was nice without having too much to choose from. Unfortunately, almost all of the food was cold in the buffet and the dessert was highly forgettable. Lastly I was caught off guard when I received my bill and there was an 18% gratuity added to it for three people at a buffet. I dont know who adds gratuity for such a small amount of people or who would add gratuity at a buffet. That has never happened to me before. Any restaurant should tell the customer up front any added gratuity in the flyer. This definitely made the experience less pleasant. Fathers day is coming up and their flyer for that does not have the gratuity either.Special Features:
- Great Family PlaceRosieDined on 5/11/2014It was Mother's Day. Lots of kids running around. Food was good enough. The entertainment was great. Very good service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mothers Day BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/11/2014Food was basic. A little salty, not as many options as I was expecting for a brunch buffet, especially for the price. The Polynesian show was great! Hostesses were nice until we asked them if we could be moved from our table with the horrible view of a post and the table of 4 directly in front of us completely blocking the stage. Servers kept our drinks refilled and table clean. Oh and on a side note, I called in to ask what age qualifies for Senior pricing and I was told it was 55+, but was told 65+ when it was time to pay. Not a big deal but I do expect employees of the establishment to be educated on basic information. 3/5 Stars experience only because of the Polynesian dancing and ambiance. Would I come back again, probably not.Special Features:
- Music, food & tropical drinks3onthetownVIPDined on 5/4/2014Reggae music, Pain Killers, Zombies and Huli Huli Chicken. Love this place, the bar plays Gilligan's Island on TV.Special Features:
- Great NiteoutforaniteDined on 5/3/2014Me and my husband went there for dinner and had a wonderful time. It was loud but did not bother us at all, we could hear each other and that was fine. We both enjoyed what we ordered and service was good.Special Features:
- Never dissapointsMarzracergirlDined on 5/3/2014This is the third time I have been to Don the Beachcombers and each time I am very happy when I leave. Great food and drinks. This time we came on Saturday night and they had a musician playing the ukulele and singing to 80's hits in the bar, it was awesome! Highly recommend this place.Special Features:
- Nice atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 4/26/2014Nice place for something different, food was acceptable, good service, drinks are specially madeSpecial Features:
- wonderful bandclausenVIPDined on 4/10/2014Delicious food, great service and The best was the band, High Times!!!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hawaiian Theme in Huntington Beachmeeting2Dined on 3/24/2014You'll notice the colorful theme as soon as you walk in. There is plenty of parking also. We had reservations on a Monday night at 5:00 and stayed for little over an hour. Maybe there were two other parties by then. I had their Orange Roughy which was very delicious. My husband had the Mahi which he said was OK. On Monday the restaurant hosts an extended happy hour from 3 to closing. One may have discounted drinks and food in the bar or order from the dinner menu as well. There is an extensive drink menu as the founder was known for all the drinks he invented. The drinks are numbered by potency. My Rum Barrel was a 4, while the Zombie was a 10. Definitely decide ahead of time who will be the designated driver or call for a taxi. Fun place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hawaii againmikeVIPDined on 3/23/2014its a nice place, we had great service and great food, they always try to make you feel at home, thank you for that, we will continue to go there from time to time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun, Exciting, Delicious, BeachyPatrickAMinneapolisVIPDined on 3/20/2014A friend recommended that we head to Don The Beachcomber for delicious food and a fun environment. We definitely were not disappointed, and will be back the next time we are in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A taste of the IslandsGrandpaDined on 3/15/2014I've been wishing I could return to Hawaii...miss the warm sun, tropical breezes...and the food ! Coming to Don the Beachcomber in Huntington Beach took me back to those happy times. The food and the atmosphere were very Hawaiian! Thank you D the B for the awesome experience.Special Features:
- All I can say is GREAT experience!!BigHert79Dined on 2/23/2014Excellent service and a really cool atmosphere. 2 different bars for different experiences as well as a nice dining room. When we were there, it was karaoke in one bar and a great reggae band in the big bar. We had dinner in the dinning room then went between the 2 bars to check them out. OK so on to the good stuff... The FOOD!!! I have been to Hawaiian restaurants before, but the food was great in comparison! We had just about every appetizer on the menu and there was nothing that was not good. Sliders, Sticky Ribs, calamari (not rings, but calamari steak strips!), PuPus, Ahi Poke Tacos, and Co-Co-Nut Shrimp. All Excellent! Pulled Kalua Pork for dinner and it was great. So Food EXCELENT!! Rum Drink Menu was a cool experience. RECOMMENDED!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great service!Datenight101Dined on 2/14/2014Had a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner, the whole evening was fabulous! This place is an institution and one of the best examples of the 40's and 50's Polynesian experience anywhere. Had a drink in about the coolest Tiki Bar I've ever experienced. Dinner was great, (Ahi Poke & Huli Huli Chicken... Wonderful!) During dinner, there were Hawaiian musicians and Hula Dancers in the dining room for the Valentine's dinner crowd. We had a fun, nostalgic South Seas dinner experience right here in Orange County, and a truly enjoyable evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing!genez220VIPDined on 2/7/2014Having read postings about live entertainment, I decided to give it a shot. Well, there was a homeless looking man in an ill-fitting aloha shirt carrying around a bottle of beer who sat down at his steel guitar and started playing. He played well, but a sad sight to see. There was a function going on in the bar/lounge and the DJ could be heard over this musician's music. For appetizers, the ahi poke came out first, then steamed clams a good 15 minutes later. The entrees came out 1 minute after the clams, so now our entrees would sit getting cold. Kahlua pork was dry, ribeye was rare when I ordered medium. To apologize, server offered free dessert- pineapple cake, which was dry. Never going again! No wonder they closed the other locations...
- bad managementChristmasDonTheBeachcombeDined on 12/25/2013Been here before and has good experiences. However on Christmas they were extremely understaffed which shows lack of planning and or management. Even though the staff worked very hard and did the best they could due to bad management for Christmas the service was very bad and slow. The vegetable were also under cooked; hey were raw. Again the staff did the best they could but they could not offset the bad management I will not go back next Christmas and any holiday for it is clear management cannot handle itSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Different Experience for ChristmasCDG925Dined on 12/25/2013Met some family members here for Christmas dinner. The service was very friendly, but a little slow. We were given the special holiday menu when we arrived, but weren't told you could also order off the regular menu. We saw others doing that and had to ask about it. The drinks were good and strong, just right for a tiki bar! The food was also very good. My companions had the mahi-mahi which came with krispy kale and raved about it. I had the surf/turf, which was also delicious. All in all a good experience. I want to visit the bar for some of their shows and more of those drinks!I would recommend this to a friend.

Dan Money represented Team GB in the four-man and two-man bobsleigh at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The Vancouver Games were Money's first Olympic Winter Games.
Unfortunately after a crash in the two-man competition alongside teammate John Jackson, the team were disqualified from the event, and only managed a 17th place finish in the four-man bobsleigh, alongside fellow Team GB teammates Henry Nwume and Allyn Condon.
Following a regularly recurring trend, Money has a history in track sprinting, capable of running 10.16secs for the 100m. Whilst studying at Sheffield University, he was British University champion at 100m and 200m sprinting. This ability to generate such power and speed made the transition to bobsleigh an appropriate decision.
He once described sport as "running down a hill and then jumping into a tin bath".

Stopwatch.Frequency Field
Gets the frequency of the timer as the number of ticks per second. This field is read-only.
Namespace: System.Diagnostics
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The timer frequency indicates the timer precision and resolution. For example, a timer frequency of 2 million ticks per second equals a timer resolution of 500 nanoseconds per tick. In other words, because one second equals 1 billion nanoseconds, a timer frequency of 2 million ticks per second is equivalent to 2 million ticks per 1 billion nanoseconds, which can be further simplified to 1 tick per 500 nanoseconds.
The Frequency value depends on the resolution of the underlying timing mechanism. If the installed hardware and operating system support a high-resolution performance counter, then the Frequency value reflects the frequency of that counter. Otherwise, the Frequency value is based on the system timer frequency.
Because the Stopwatch frequency depends on the installed hardware and operating system, the Frequency value remains constant while the system is running.
The following example displays the frequency and resolution of a Stopwatch timer. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the Stopwatch class.
public static void DisplayTimerProperties() { // Display the timer frequency and resolution. if (Stopwatch.IsHighResolution) { Console.WriteLine("Operations timed using the system's high-resolution performance counter."); } else { Console.WriteLine("Operations timed using the DateTime class."); } long frequency = Stopwatch.Frequency; Console.WriteLine(" Timer frequency in ticks per second = {0}", frequency); long nanosecPerTick = (1000L*1000L*1000L) / frequency; Console.WriteLine(" Timer is accurate within {0} nanoseconds", nanosecPerTick); }

Microsoft Pushes Back Next Xbox Announcement to May 21st
Sony has drawn the proverbial line in the sand having announced their next Playstaion 4, which should hit homes as early as this year. Not to be out done by Hirai Kazuo and Cam-Sony, Microsoft was set to make a similar announcement later this month on April 24th. Things have since changed. The Verge is reporting, the house that Windows built has decided to push back the expected announcement by a full month. Now we're looking at May 21st and the information sleuths at the Verge are confident this is an accurate rescheduling.
It's all but confirmed that said event will reveal, at least in part, the details steeped in mystery surrounding the next Xbox console system, codename: Durango. I can't help but wonder if the move to push things out has anything to do with the Microsoft recent bout with "Always-on Gate". Just last week Microsoft's keister was held tenaciously to the fire over comments about Durango requiring a constant internet connection. Of course this is one of the more undesirable features of modern gaming so the announcement left many shocked. Creative Director Adam Orth virtually spat hot fish grease on the fire with his retort of "Deal with it!", which left Microsfot with egg on its billion dollar face as it issued a formal apology.
While May 21st is sure to reveal some, all will not be known until the more poignant E3 showing in early parts of June. So stay tuned!

The Australia Backpacking and Sea Kayaking Course Returns From the Sea
The ACS spent the first 26 days backpacking in Western Australia's Kimberley region in the King Leopold Ranges. It's beautiful country to backpack through.
The days were hot, so they would start early to beat the intense heat of the day. They enjoyed cooling off in oasis watering holes and some had nice water falls.
A normal day consisted of waking by 5am and hiking by 6, then going for a few hours. The idea was to get to the next camp before 3pm, which was the hottest part of the day.
There would usually be a class in the afternoon. They cooked dinner early and got into their tents when it became dark. The students learned about personal care, basic camping techniques, leave no trace principles, basic and advanced navigation using a topographical map and compass, different leadership styles, and the flora and fauna of the area they ventured into.
After backpacking, the ACS switched to sea kayaking, which seemed like a welcomed change of pace. They paddled through the Dampier Archipelago, which is a beautiful place to paddle.
During that time, the students learned basic sea kayak skills, paddling efficiency, interpreting the charts for navigation, gauging sea state, weather patterns, how the moon affects the tide and how to fish out of a kayak.
The water was warm and the beaches were white, with smooth sandy landings that were wonderful places to camp and practice paddling techniques.
The students learned that leadership looks very different on the water versus on land.
And everyone had fun!
We wish our wonderful ACS students the very best in their journeys back to the 'real world' and welcome them back for more NOLS adventures in the future... Stay posted for the NOLS Australia short film coming out later this year, capturing the special memories from this trip of a lifetime!

Fremont the Backpack
By Kaybe Loughran
Fremont the backpack sat in a heap
Of bags, tents, and jackets, three feet deep
He waited there for a future cold weather snap
When Nate finally would have time to repair his strap
Fremont remembered his first trip out
He hadn't an idea what the Winds were about
Back then he was Deuter pack 2602
And his nylon was shiny, factory new!
Johnny the student carried him over ridges and creeks
Together they scrambled over so many peaks
One day they hiked and hiked what felt like nonstop
Until they found themselves on Fremont peak, right at the top!
Johnny was so happy that he marked the event
By naming his trusty pack after their first mountain ascent.
Over the next few weeks, Fremont and Johnny traveled together
The land was so rugged and so was the weather
Fremont became less shiny and acquired more wear
His nylon was breaking and he needed repair
Johnny's instructor taught them packs could be sewn
So that buying a new one could be postponed
He showed them his gaiters and other gear
Which he would probably keep using for many a year
"Take care of your things and repair them here!
You'll eliminate work that NOLS staff must endure."
Fremont came back into town with a little red patch,
A mark that adventure never comes without a scratch.
He hung out, rested, and became ready to spring
For the excitement the next course could bring
A few days later Fremont met Carrie Jean,
A young energetic girl of sixteen.
The first night at camp Carrie forgot
To put her snacks in the bear fence, and guess what they brought?
A little brown mouse who nibbled right through
Fremont's fabric and into her shoe
"Eek!" she said in the light of the morning,
"My gulch crunch is gone and the ants are swarming!!"
Fremont was dragged across granite and mud
His zipper was dirty and could not be tugged
"Help" he cried, though only the tent could hear,
"Someone please teach this girl about gear!"
The tent sighed and let Fremont under his fly,
He could do little but at least he could keep Fremont dry.
So after three long weeks Fremont returned to the base
Bashed, bruised, and torn all over the place.
Kevin gave him one long look and shook his head
"Not back to the gear room, but the back pile instead!"
So that's where Fremont is and that's where he'll stay
Until the base has a cold, slow, quiet day.
The staff at NOLS works hard to keep their gear in working order. Students are sent into the field with good quality stuff. Due to the nature of NOLS courses, gear never stays pristine, but NOLS instructors use these opportunities to teach students how to repair their own things. According to Kevin McGowan, who runs the gear room, whatever can be repaired in town can also be repaired in the field. Students are equipped with stove and tent repair kits as well as patch kits and a speedy stitcher for all sorts of gear. They learn repair techniques and important lessons about taking good care of their belongings. Students are often issued used gear with character and history. Puffy coats may be marked with small patches, but they are just as warm as any other jacket.
Amit puts a patch on a puffy coat that just came off of a course.When gear comes back that needs extra special attention, like Fremont the backpack, it is usually out of commission during the busy summer months until the staff have time to work on it. The branch currently has a pile of gear to sort through, which will probably have to wait until winter. Some of this pile will end up getting sold at garage sales if it is beyond repair for extensive courses but still of use to someone else.
The pile of gear in need of repair grows steadily during the summer months.
The lifespan of a backpack is usually about two years, and a lead rope will last a few courses before it must become a top rope. Other gear has different expected lifespans, but gear ends up being approximately 18 percent of NOLS' budget, a large part when you consider everything else that a NOLS course covers (travel, food, wages, etc.). The sustainability office is working on ways to minimize the amount of new gear NOLS purchases and maximize the amount that NOLS can repair. In general, sustainability is an integral part of NOLS' mission, and as much as NOLS students and staff can reuse and repair, they will! NOLS instructors hope students come off courses with new drive to take care of their gear and purchase less.

Thanks for the Experience
Dear NOLS,
Thank you.
Thank you for creating an atmosphere where we would find ourselves creating an annual tradition of sending staff to compete in such an exciting, intimidating, and demanding event as the Cowboy Tough Adventure Race.
Thank you for encouraging us to pursue our curiosity and interest in adventure racing, particularly when it passes right through our back yard: the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming.
Casey Adams and Marina Fleming, part of a four-person team, prepare to start in South Pass City on July 17. Jeanne O'Brien photo
Thank you for educating us in leadership, tolerance for adversity and uncertainty, navigation, nutrition, and pack packing, all of which made our experience last week that much more "comfortable."
Thank you for connecting us with preferred retailers like Deuter and Brooks so that our backs, feet, legs, and faces would be well-cared for out there—in addition to supplying us with assorted mandatory gear and epic piles of food. We carried countless bars and trail snacks 400 miles across Wyoming in our Deuter Trans Alpine backpacks, which proved surprisingly comfortable on a bike. We nursed our tired legs with Brooks compression socks as we slept each short night. We kept the sun off our faces and the burs out of our socks with the Brooks hats and Cascadia trail shoes and schlepped our way from South Pass City to Casper in an awe-inspiring, if indirect, route.
Thank you for being the kind of organization where it is perfectly reasonable for managers and interns alike to drive an hour to the starting line to cheer (which is pretty cool for the competitors and the fans alike). Thank you for setting up another cheering squad on Main Street on Day 2 of the race, just a block from where we could have been working instead of pedaling by and giving high fives en route to throwing tomahawks.
Finally thanks for supporting the race and our fellow racers by sending the highly educated and skilled medical team from the Wilderness Medicine Institute to follow all our 40 teams for four days, repair blisters on surely nasty feet, clean road rash, and more.
Obviously, thanks for taking, and subsequently sharing, this photo:

It's an honor and a pleasure to work for NOLS. Thanks for the adventures, the community, and the support.

EPI and the WRMC
In our third installment of the WRMC blog series we're highlighting Ecology Project International (EPI), an environmental education organization established in 2000 by co-founders Scott Pankratz and Julie Osborn. In celebration of EPI attending the WRMC for the past six years, we decided to engage Executive Director/Co-founder Scott Pankratz on the history behind EPI as an organization, as well as the ongoing relationship EPI has maintained with the WRMC.
EPI, said Pankratz, "has programs in Baja, Belize, Costa Rica, Galapagos, and Yellowstone, and 60 percent of our participants are locals who live within or adjacent to the ecosystem where we operate. The other 40 percent of our participants come from the U.S. Our courses include opportunities for students to work on field-based scientific research, conservation service work, and a cultural exchange day between the visiting U.S. students and their local program counterparts. Since EPI was established in 2000, over 15,000 students have participated in our field programs. Most of these participants are high school students between the ages of 15 and 18."
EPI operates in a wide array of wilderness settings with most students starting out as backcountry novices who have "never camped, never snorkeled, never been closer to wildlife bigger than themselves," according to Pankratz. But when asked what EPI participants gain from the wilderness experience, Pankratz said, "they return home with a sense of pride in their newfound knowledge and skill sets. Our hands-on approach to science education also means that participants don't just learn science—they apply it. They work with professional scientists who need people on the ground, in the wilderness, gathering essential data. The data they collect contributes to real-time research and conservation projects that must be carried out in the wild."
As an active member of the WRMC community, EPI strives to keep risk management as a vital part of the organization's core values.
"Our participants' health and safety is our top priority on course. Without healthy, happy participants, no learning can take place," Pankratz noted. "The WRMC helps keep risk management at the forefront of our planning for each new field season, allowing us to bring new ideas and techniques to our own internal risk management systems, such as our Emergency Response System. Our experience with the WRMC also helps our employees gain a valuable big picture perspective on risk management."
When asked how attending the WRMC has influenced EPI, Pankratz said, "The WRMC has helped us maintain a systematic approach to our emergency response system and our medical review system and protocols. We've been fortunate to be able to use the WRMC experience and materials to keep these same systems current as they go through an annual update process. We have also benefited greatly from the relationships we've created with the experts at the WRMC. These relationships have transferred into top quality advice during critical moments in our program."
After seven consecutive years of attending the WRMC and being able to apply that shared expert knowledge in the field, EPI, in turn, stands as an excellent resource for other environmental education organizations to learn valuable advice from. We would like to thank EPI's Executive Directors/Co-Founders, Scott Pankratz and Julie Osborn for all that they have contributed to the WRMC over the years. Come take advantage of the opportunity to network with EPI at the 21st annual WRMC. Join us at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta, Georgia, October 1-3, 2014.

That's Not the NOLS Bus!
The Monday morning walk to work was a little different for NOLS Headquarters employees this week, as they were greeted by a 1970 Crown bus at the building entrance.
Three men campaigning for Wyoming Democrat Charlie Hardy for U.S. Senate made their way to 284 Lincoln St. in Lander this morning. Hardy is a Wind River Wilderness '75 graduate, and Bruce Wilkinson, owner of this campaign bus, is a Wilderness First Responder.
Nick, Felix, and Bruce greeted NOLS staff as they arrived at work this morning. Jeanne O'Brien photo
Wilkinson spoke of Hardy's connection to nature and desire to create a better future drawing him to NOLS. Wilkinson, bus driver Nick Brasheer, and fellow campaigner Felix Agulto share Hardy's outdoor interests as well as his political views and made plans to hike around Sinks Canyon this afternoon before hitting the road for Wright, Wyoming.

This World and That (Part Three)
By Jason BreMiller, Pacific Northwest Outdoor Educators Course '03
A shortened version of this piece was published in the Summer, 2014, issue of The Leader, in mailboxes now! This is the third and final of three parts in this series.
Missed the beginning of this piece? Click these links to read Part One or Part Two of this series.
After a particularly long and arduous cross-mesa slog on the hottest day of the course, a slog during which morale hovered at a course low, we rolled into camp where the kids dropped their packs and slumped in an exhausted heap. Kai, Andy, and I departed to scout the surrounding vista, but when we returned we discovered a lively scene of unexpected and raucous laughter. In his solo journal, Luis describes this moment:
Mr. Bre, Andy, and Kai looked over at us like the desert had driven us crazy! At one point, Janet even had to take out her inhaler because she was laughing so hard. I don't even remember what we were laughing about, but we recognized the situation we were in. We were all alone in the middle of nowhere, no technology, and the only thing we had was each other.
In the canyons, these students became alive to each other in ways often impeded by the drive of frontcountry competition. The canyons help untangle the morass of grades and academic prizes and college admission and return it to a simpler foundation of human connection.
The night Tom photographed the Milky Way, he'd recruited a cohort to accompany him on a midnight foray where they spread their bags out on a slickrock bench and triple-set their alarms, prying themselves up and into the frigid canyon air at 3am to erect the tripod for an extended-lapse shot. They'd never seen the Milky Way before and in the morning when they woke, they draped their arms around each other, laughing with cantaloupe smiles and carrying spring lamb-bounce in their steps.
Rachel, an 11th grader, wrote a sequence of poems on the trip that gets at this capacity for wonder. Here is an excerpt:
We are either homesick or home
No way out but further in
There are petroglyphs etched
Onto your ribcage and spine
The wild thing put them there
For wild-you to remember
So when you breathe, you know the
Wind is breathing back to you
So when you falter, you know the
Canyon can be your rigid spine.
Veins crackle and sputter like firewood
And awaken a new way of treading ground
And illuminate the thought upon waking:
"This is the day to shape the next upon."
The Canyons are words on a page
A language the river swept away
Silver scaled and glinting
Jumping like fish
They remain on the backs of our eyelids
A bluish blob stained onto nothingness
That we see, now
Every time we blink.
Tom and his buddies reveling at their first sight of the Milky Way reminded me that the capacity for wonder is alive and well, Rachel's words that sometimes emblem is all we have.
As students begin to sense their own agency, as they fit this agency within the framework of their emerging community, as they attenuate themselves to their own capacity for wonder, something shifts inside them, a realization that can be transcendent. 11th grader Sage explores this emerging sense of self in his solo journal:
I gather some dead sage and fix my lighter underneath. I pull my fingers across the flint wheel, the only unnatural thing around me, and watch it engulf my namesake. I hold the plant upside-down, allowing the flames to climb. It vanishes in my hand with a blinding fireball and a choking cloud of smoke. It warms my bare chest, reminding me of the imminent chill, and I am reborn, a new person. The sun rests atop a red stone mesa, visibly shrinking its crescent on the horizon. The sun fades into tonight and tomorrow, and I fade into someone new, someone else.
These kids are not the same who left less than two weeks ago. It is clear that have been changed irrevocably.
When I think about Tom's words I'm so bored by all of this and how I might be able to help my students shift worlds, it occurs to me that I want them to see that it's not about this world and that at all—that it's not all over when they leave the canyons as they fear may be the case. I hope they see how they can enact what they learned in the desert right here on campus every day just as they witnessed Harkness in the desert. It's the synergy between worlds that I most hope my kids will recognize and that there are ways to preserve the magic.
For me, what helps is recognizing that sometimes memory and metaphor suffice. Tom's starcloud suggests that sometimes we see better in the dark, and our maps tell us that when we're lost, there are ways to become found if we only take the time to orient ourselves by recognizable features. "Using our smarts" is just good practice, and sometimes laughter heals a day's ills[j4] . In this way, our backcountry days can echo for us now in this eddy of time even more loudly than in the silence that echoed for us then.
Our final evening. We huddle in a circle around a modest pit fire, feeding the flames with small lengths of juniper. The mood is electric and I think I know why. We'll be gone tomorrow, our expansive views contracted to the boxy confines of the van, our pellucid soulscapes clouded by the abrasion of our iPhones: email, phone calls, espn.com, Facebook. They're ready to go back but don't yet want to relinquish their hold on this place. For comfort, I turn to "Cactus Ed" Abbey, that desert bard who faced his own departure from the desert. I read across the firelight:
I, too, must leave the canyon country, if only for a season, and rejoin for the winter that miscegenated mesalliance of human and rodent called the rat race (Rattus urbanus)...Balance. That's the secret. Moderate extremism. The best of both worlds. Unlike Thoreau who insisted on one world at a time, I am attempting to make the best of two.
Our final morning. With the sun at our backs, we look west and see the glint of the truck windshield on a bench two miles away. We break a quick camp and funnel away downcanyon, bending to scoop chunks of petrified wood for the last time before returning them to their sandy beds. We walk in silence for the final mile, unconsciously slowing our pace, extending our time. When we turn a bend in the canyon where it sweeps up close against the road cut, we're confronted by an aperture in the rock, a concrete eye tunneling the breadth of road. After nine days in the field, the abruptness of its emergence is jarring. The kids hesitate at the threshold, their packs bumping together like jammed logs. We hold the silence for a few seconds longer, looking back over our shoulders into the depths of the canyon where flood-scarred cottonwoods twist in the sun and our tracks stretch backward in the sand. And there it is: bootslap on pavement, the easy roll of industrial traction. When we emerge on the other side 100 feet later and greet our truck, I'm smiling with the knowledge that we'll be knocking dust from our boots for years to come.

A Thorn In My Side for 39 Years (Part Two)
This article appeared in the Spring 2014 edition of The Leader
"PUTTING HIS NOLS EDUCATION TO WORK" -- When asked how the course impacted his life, Jay responded, "It made me realize how great the wilderness is and that it needs to be protected for other people to enjoy. [I came to understand] the importance of … taking other young people out in the woods so they learn to love it and appreciate it."
After his NOLS course, Jay became a teacher in Lime, N.H.
"I taught the fourth grade," he said. "We took three hikes in the fall. We worked on map reading, using the compass, staying together. We learned about the different trees and the leaves. I tried to mix in elementary school science with our hikes."
"A RETURN TO THE GRAND TETON AND LANDER" -- I followed in my father's footsteps and took a Summer Semester in the Rockies in 2003. I started as an instructor for NOLS in the summer of 2010. I found endless entertainment in my father's memories about NOLS, especially after becoming an instructor. I could also tell that he wasn't totally satisfied with his 1974 attempt on the Grand Teton.
It was time for another try.
In 2011, Jay, my brother David (Rock Climbing '06), my sister Jessica, and I climbed the Old Man's Route (5.2) and the Old Ladies' Route (5.2) on Seneca Rocks in our home state of West Virginia. This served as a perfect training climb. Jay had no problems with the climbing, and his legs never shook once.
On Aug. 31, 2013, Jay flew to Riverton. After seeing the Noble Hotel again, he said, "The restoration was fantastic. Thank goodness there was no longer a bar and a Chinese restaurant. The moose head was still there."
The weather forecast was for 50-percent chance of thunderstorms all week, so he, my girlfriend and fellow NOLS instructor Angie Bates, and I spent another day hiking at low elevation, hoping the forecast would improve. It didn't, but we hiked up to the Lower Saddle anyway. At 5 a.m. the next morning, the sky was clear, so we decided to go for it. At around 7:30 a.m., light rain began to fall.
The storm appeared to be passing us to the north, so we continued with a watchful eye on the weather. We reached the Belly Roll just before 9 a.m. This time, Jay said he "just had to do it and wasn't going down." He climbed across without a problem. The obstacles after the Belly Roll fell away easily and Jay, Angie, and I reached the summit at 10:20 a.m.
"This has been a thorn in my side for 39 years!" he said, elated to be standing on top of the peak that had eluded him in 1974.
"When I came out [to Wyoming], I didn't want to say anything to anybody about climbing the Grand because I didn't know if I would make it," Jay conceded. "After I climbed it, I was anxious to reconnect with people [from my course]."
After the climb, Jay met with Peter Simer, former executive director of NOLS and the course leader for Jay's winter section. Peter instantly remembered Jay and his course. Two hours passed quickly as they reminisced on the porch of Peter's house in Lander.
"[NOLS] was one of the highlights of my 65 years," Jay said afterward. "I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. I will always have that love for the school and the great people who have been instructors and students there. I am thrilled that the school has grown."
Regarding the failed attempt in 1974, Jay remarked, "I have to apologize to the people I kept from making it to the top. I hope they have had another chance and if they haven't they should really try. The Belly Roll was really a piece of cake."
He went on to quote Yogi Berra: "90 percent of it is half mental.'"
"[My son Jim] became a NOLS climbing instructor. He is the son of a dad with sewing machine leg. I guess that shows that evolution must be occurring."
Planning the climb on the Grand inspired Jay to reach out to his former coursemates.
"I connected again with Jim Acee, my tent mate. I had not spoken to him in 39 years. I called him [twice and talked] about the instructors and students on our course. He was a long-time NOLS instructor. [It] seems like we haven't missed a beat. [We shared] very fond memories."
In the spirit of rekindling friendships and sharing stories, Jay would love to hear from his coursemates and former instructors. Feel free to contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This World and That (Part Two)
By Jason BreMiller, Pacific Northwest Outdoor Educators Course '03
A shortened version of this piece was published in the Summer, 2014, issue of The Leader, in mailboxes now! This is the second of three parts in this series.
Click here to read Part One, the beginning of the series.
Browsing pictures before our gathering, I stumble across a short GoPro clip shot by Luis, a 10th grader from Chicago. He shoots from an elevated alcove, looking downward through a narrow shaft of canyon slot framed by a prominent chockstone. Below, Claire, another 10th grader, can be heard approaching from around a bend. Her telltale blue beanie wobbles into view as she assumes a perch high enough on the wall for her to peek through the opening and assess her next passage. She grunts with exertion, using opposing pressure to hold her place while she gropes blindly above for purchase. It's a tricky move to be sure: to progress from her stance, she'll have to mantle onto the pinched bite of stone where the walls thin and duck under the chockstone. Doable, but in need of some rumination. She hesitates, unsure, looking back down to where Andy waits out of sight, then back up into Luis' lens.
Claire's voice is barely audible, but if you can make out her, "Uh...what do I do?"
And from the recesses, unseen, Andy's words return hollow as if the canyon itself were speaking: "Use your smarts!"
In the canyons, the kids come to see themselves differently—as doers rather than thinkers only, as people capable of agency. They learn to trust themselves and the skills they've developed to do real work. "Where are we?" they ask over and over and over again during the opening days of the course, to which their instructors patiently reply, "take out your maps." By the end of the trip, they understand how to plot a course and follow it, that meals don't cook themselves, and that if you haven't planned far enough ahead to pack your raincoat accessibly, then your teammates might sigh loudly and look at you with deep reproach while you explode your pack to find it.
In the canyons, students' horizons are confined to the daily living tasks of eating and drinking and travelling. Near the end of the trip, each student elected to participate in an overnight solo, during which they were encouraged to reflect on and write about their experiences thus far. Andrew, an 11th grader, identified this narrowing of purpose as one of the most formative aspects of his trip:
I was immersed in a primitive lifestyle and through it I regained sight of the world and the people around me—the sight that I lost at Exeter while thinking and thinking, toiling away about projects and college and my general future, because those things have always been the ends for which I work. In the canyons, the goal was to find water, to explore, to see things, and to strive only toward immediate goals. In the canyons for those nine days, I have never felt more conscious of what was around me. Without the distractions of civilization, I noticed the little things: the soft hum of air in my ears, the color of red mesa, the rock lines that flow like water, the texture of the sand.
In the canyons, the kids' focus is distilled to an immediate and tangible purpose, to something more concrete than the amorphous securing of a "successful future" or getting into a "good" college. Here, they need to find reliable water and cook a meal that will fuel their minds and bodies as they hump their packs over rigorous terrain.
Stay tuned for Part Three, the conclusion of the series, coming soon!

Australian combo course hikers about to get salty
Trailing pindan dust behind them, our NOLS Australia combo course students said goodbye to the King Leopold Ranges and began their transition to sea kayaking. Conducting the 'switch' in Broome, the students arrived back at the NOLS Australia base where they met their new instructor team and shared a lunch full of fresh food goodness.
A busy afternoon at the NOLS Australia base of cleaning, repairing, eating, briefing, eating, packing and some more eating and the sea kayak team were off to the local campground to get a good sleep before a long drive the next day.
So our hikers are on their way to learn a new skill and experience a new environment. They are heading almost 900km (over 500miles) from Broome to the sea kayaking location in the Dampier Archipelago- an area rich in aboriginal history, marine fauna and spectacular scenery.
Students will not have access to outside communication on their sea kayaking leg and will return to Broome for their Graduation on the 2nd August. If you would like students to receive any mail it should be sent as soon as possible for it to arrive in time for the students graduation.

As the title says, my catalogsearch_results table currently sits with 19 million rows in it, and taking up over 2GB of space. Something must be seriously wrong here!
I'm unable to find much info on this table but can someone tell me is it safe to empty it. And if so, is there anything I should look at to try and diagnose this problem?
First/last bump. Going to wait 10 mins for a reply before I empty the table.
I went ahead and cleared the catalogsearch_results table, no adverse affects noted, as yet.
The table is getting filled up pretty quick with already 100,000 rows within an hour of emptying it. Any ideas of where I can find out what is causing this?
Hi There
I have the same problem myself
Did you solve it any bad effects on the website?
Sounds like some bots or Google however it is normally implementation specific so difficult to tell exactly without investigation.
