The idea behind Lunch Beat is simple – ditch your desk for an hour-long party in the middle of the work day. If you dance, you get a free lunch.
Lunch Beat was first brought to Cincinnati by Starfire Council last Spring. These semi-impromptu pop-up lunch events are designed to bring people together, highlight the fun and creative energy in the city of Cincinnati and most of all - to get people of all kinds to DANCE!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend 20 minutes of vigorous activity three times per week. But a community health study finds Cincinnatians don't get nearly enough. Interact for Health and ArtsWave are partnering to try to fix that.
They're awarding $300,000 in grants to 21 agencies to provide active living programs. Interact for Health's Jaime Love says "Join the Fun" is all about getting people moving.

Pale, green-tinged yellow. Peach, flowers and hazelnut on classic Puligny nose. Then sweet and fruity in the mouth, with very ripe stone fruit flavors complicated by hints of honey and menthol. The dusty, slightly aggressive finish displays excellent density and an intriguing flinty character. Boasts impressive volume for village wine.

Why Bhutto Needed to Go
VOTERS usually register one of two types of sentiments: an ideological belief or a judgment on the record of the incumbent. Pakistan's recent elections largely reflect the same results as the vote two years ago in the sense that building democracy has been endorsed. The difference, however, reflects dissatisfaction with Bhutto's efforts to deepen Pakistan's democracy. Benazir Bhutto asked Pakistani voters to believe that the only reason her government was dissolved on Aug. 6 was the antidemocratic establishment's desire to return to power. Her statement was true enough since her efforts to restructure the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), the CIA-developed security apparatus that managed the Afghan counter-insurgency, earned her the military's unforgiving enmity.
Her electoral opponent, the Islamic Democratic Alliance (IDA) included some of Zia's opponents, but is mainly a political alliance created and supported by the ISI.
Bhutto's assertion was still incomplete. In parliamentary democracies of the Indian Subcontinent, the president is supposed to defend the country's interests and order elections when the Prime Minister's government has lost the people's confidence.
Bhutto corrupted the process of no-confidence voting a year ago by bribing opposition politicians. A parliamentary system relies on this mechanism to avoid crises which can lead to military intervention in response to uncontrollable lawlessness. The Aug. 6 dissolution was indeed taken at the army's behest because Bhutto was acting above the law, and the courts could not stop her.
Voters, offered a referendum on reelecting Bhutto, demurred. She had failed to deliver the very democracy she had embodied in her romantic struggle against General Zia and then the ``Zia League,'' which she termed the IDA in the 1988 election that put her in power. Bhutto lost the election; the IDA did not win it.
Ultimately, the election was a one-woman show, and Pakistanis grew to dislike her arrogance, ineptitude, and corruption. Her government, in twenty months, was the most scandalous in a very corrupt country's history. Bhutto's utter inattention to the blatant stealing of her ministers was galling, even to the mass of tenant farmers, for whom politics has never had more relevance than the act of voting.

Several years in a row I've come to my friend's autumn cabin, accessed only by boat from a marina in downtown Tenmile. It is a place of deep solace and solitude…and beauty. It's my double autumn cabin dose. Actually, it's normally three autumn cabins that I go to: last year was such. After returning back to Oregon from Montana, I went to the Lake of the Woods cabin in my home county of Klamath, then the Tenmile cabin and finally the Double Tree Ranch cabin on the Rogue River which I care-took for a friend. Autumn is my favorite season so to be out and about and close to nature is what the doctor orders within my soul during this season. A cozy cabin is perfect as the warm summer season changes with cooler nights and camping becomes less desirable.
It's a 5-7 mile boat ride to get to this cabin…about a 20 minute ride. The speed of the boat is surprisingly intoxicating…something that I seldom do as I am a canoe/kayak kinda guy…but speed downhill snow skiing is one of my favorite thrills so I should not be surprised that I like the thrill of a fast boat. This is a large lake with many arms and fingers but it is not a wide lake so the water wave conditions are not an issue, except for the oddball rare storm which could cause a stir.
After getting set up in the cabin, I'll often take short boat journeys to photograph egrets, herons and other winged creatures. You can get surprisingly close to them in a boat. There are days, like yesterday, when the sun beckons me to the nearby coast. I love hiking along the beach south of Winchester Bay. Another favorite hike are the nearby sand dunes, the largest coastal sand dunes in America. Crabbing and fishing is nearby, too, at Winchester and other points north and south. It's great to be able to get a deep dose of the coast, the lake, the rivers and nearby streams. There are endless recreational possibilities here.
The quiet of the cabin though serves me best. Near day's end, I love sitting in the easy chair near the large window overlooking the lake: the perfect spot for sunsets…and a good martini, too! Sunny morning will often catch me on the deck reading. Always from the deck, one can hear the sound of the ocean surf as it reaches shore. The steep, short trails that lead from the cabin are excellent for a cardio workout. If I get to the cabin in October (as I did last year), there are huckleberries for the picking. Mushrooms abound now. My mornings generally begin with the hoot of owls, and the evenings end as such, too.
I come to the cabin for writing, editing photographs and thinking…but more than anything, I come for the deep peace. In quietness, there is clarity, and wisdom. The maddening crowd does not bring me contentment. I hope that I always have cabins to come to, especially during the richest season of all.
Tenmile Lake, Oregon
November 17th, 2014 by LarryGrant Tetons and Driggs, Idaho
September 19th, 2014 by LarryIt has been a dazzling week of exploration, friendship, photography and adventure here in Driggs, Idaho and Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming. Oh, and a birthday, too!
The Condor Kid Reunion took place with folks coming from St. Louis, Colorado, California, Oregon and Idaho…eight in all of which four are original members of the Condor group from the old days at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo…named after their friendship camping together looking for the rare and endangered California condor. All four—Karen, Syd, Lynette and Ron—wrapped up their first degrees in wildlife and natural resources at Cal Poly…and Karen, Syd and Lynette were roommates. Ron and Lynette wrapped up their masters at Western State College of Colorado, where they were roommates. Every two years the group gets together in a different part of the country. Two years ago in Mammoth and two years before that in Colorado.
In Driggs, we all stayed together in a great two story log cabin home with a spectacular view of the Tetons Range. Our day outings took us fly fishing, hiking, canoeing, vodka tasting, photographing, boat touring and eateries. Evenings were spent with special home prepared dinners, hot tubing and campfires.
Our day trips have taken us to the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, Jenny Lake, Cascade Canyons Trail, Teton River, Bitch Creek, Buffalo River, Grand Targhee hiking (accessed by the ski lift), downtown Jackson, Snake River Brewery and the remarkable new GeoTourism Center in Driggs. Oh yes, huckleberry shakes in Victor and root beer floats in Ashton.
I'll let the photos do the remainder of the talking as we're packing up and heading to Yellowstone today.
September 4th, 2014 by LarryThere has been an eery quiet and pall over the landscape the last few days. Smoke and quiescent clouds have owned the air-scape. The river though is unchanged, its sweet murmur constant, the cadence and rhythm static, predictable. The surrounding landscape is the driest I've seen. My camp is green though and unchanged since I arrived three weeks ago. Surrounded by springs, it keeps a verdantness deep into the summer.
I do have my walking paths to the river where I've tramped down the grass and the grass, too, has succumbed to my tent, shower, outside kitchen, writing table pavilion, fire-pit and the movement grounds (better known as a shovel/ dirt/ rock delineation).
I've spent many solo days in camp with occasional weekend company. I'm never alone though as I have my constant bird, squirrel and deer companions…and just last night an Angus bull who wandered in to graze and in my night nakedness, I tossed a couple of sticks at it (successfully), getting it to thunder away. Luckily it didn't come after me as my tent retreat would be a mere matador's cape.
The birds are most abundant…the first morning voices I hear and the last when the night's curtain closes. Seated in my creek chair last night, the sky above me was a swirl with nighthawks. These crepuscular birds and the mammal kingdom bats arrive before dawn and at dusk and beyond. I marvel at their aerial acrobatics as they gather their insect dinners, maneuvering like circus acrobats and fighter jets.
As I write these words before 8 am and the sun just starting to peak through the mountain junipers and pines, I hear the rapid buzz of a hummingbird. The flycatchers are busy all day in camp, as are the woodpeckers (mainly Pacific sapsuckers), orioles, Rufus-side towhee, robin, dove, vireos, western tanager, belted kingfisher, white-faced ibis (rare they land here if they see me), tree sparrows, warblers and dippers. There is a resident osprey, too, and I occasionally have an owl, bald eagle or raptor visit.
There are a couple of resident chickaree (Douglas ground squirrels) that chide me from the creek cottonwood located beside my writing table. A couple of golden mantle ground squirrels inspect my kitchen table everyday for crumbs. I keep everything sealed though and food remains in coolers. Dried goods are encased in large plastic containers, kept in the pickup whereas I can easily access them from the tailgate.
Yesterday when arriving at camp near sunset, a doe and her two spotted fawns greeted me…or should I say, I greeted them. I clicked off a few nice photos before they bounded away.
I love camp days when I do not leave for anythings other than my daily 2-3 mile hike. Days are spent reading, writing, piddling on projects such as new backing and line for the recently purchased 5 weight fly rod and reel. Several times during the day, I'll slip into the river to refresh and cool down.
I know and feel the camp similar to what naturalist Henry Beston once wrote: "I would answer that one's first appreciation is a sense that the creation is still going on, that the creative forces are as great and active to-day as they have ever been, and that to-morrow's mornings will be as heroic as any in the world."
One of my favorite pleasures is to be seated in my river chair, enjoying nothingness but the moment. The river is filled with the activity of dragon and damsel flies. I have a table in front of the chair where I can prop my feet when I wish to get them out of the water. Oftentimes crayfish will nibble at my feet and toes but they give up quickly knowing that I'm not ripe enough for them! I have two umbrellas attached to the river chair…a small one when I want just my head out of the sun and a large one for complete shade. There is a guest chair, too, next to the table. Not once since I've been here has an uninvited vehicle driven down, nor has there been a fisherman wading or walking by. In the old days when the river was stocked, fisherman passing through the camp was not uncommon.
My kitchen is simple: a large table with a propane stove, water container, dish washing and cooking supplies. I eat and drink healthily. The simple elements nourish me well.
The camp is filled with memories of days gone by with my wife (some of her ashes were released in the river) and son, my family and friends. I started coming here as a kid. During higher water, I float the river with raft and kayak. I've been to the river's source in the wilderness and I've been to its end at a high desert lake. I've fly fished practically every stretch of it…and I've hiked sections of it just for the pleasure and exercise. It is a river of dreams and memory…and a river of the moment, with new memories to be made.
In his book Upland Stream, W.D. Wetherell says, "Coming to the end of Walden Thoreau summed up his experiment in living thus: "That if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams…he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." This was written from optimism that seems amazing to us now, and yet there are people who every day learn the truth of this, and among them are fisherman, who in the precious hours on the water, possess an optimism and strength of purpose worthy of Thoreau."
This river nourishes my soul deeper than any other. I have a love affair with it that will last for eternity.
UnNamed, USA
July 23rd, 2014 by LarryIn the doldrums of summer, in the land of my birth, I go to the mountains to quench my thirst.
It will be called UnNamed, USA where I go. All of us have a special place called UnNamed. Some are fortunate to have many. It's not a place available for general public consumption, like we travel writers make a living exposing, or in most cases, ruminating about places from our own subjective experience that have been written about time after time. You have to find your UnNamed on your own. I'm sure you already have. If not, find your own and tell no one (or very few). There are places that I have found and that I have explored that I will not write about in specifics, though maybe so in broad, general, unnamed terms.
As a travel photographer/writer, I get to experience a variety of places in a variety of lands. It pays my bills and it always leaves me enriched and thankful for the breadth and depth of this Old Earth…and the reader can go there, too, either literally, vicariously, or both. Yet these journeys only partially fill me. UnNamed fills me completely. To the brim. To overflowing…and it is relatively inexpensive as it is close to home. In times of travel penny pinching, our UnNameds are wise travel investments.
My wife—mortally deceased fourteen years ago—and I spent part of many summers at UnNamed. Our son Steen—now 29—did, too. UnNamed was our camp, our sanctuary, our Shanghai-La. It was our eye from which we explored our region. Family and friends had and still have the pleasure of UnNamed, too.
Everyone should have an UnNamed. A place to go, to be alone, to be away from it all…or just to be with whom you want to be with.
My first memories at UnNamed were with my Dad and brother, often accompanied with other friends and family, too…and many times, just Dad and I. We came to fish this stream of dreams. It is where my Dad taught me to be a very proficient spin fisherman. Though I fly fish only now, my Dad made me into an expert at bait and spin fishing. Trout trembled at the approach of both of us…or so we liked to think. In those days, it was rare that we would catch and release. We had a large family to feed, with few resources, and we wanted to "bring home the bacon" to prove that we actually had been fishing. We didn't want anyone outside the family to sense that we were having great fun in the process for fear that they would seek too much information about UnNamed and then we would have to stretch the truth and send them on a wild trout chase (few geese were involved) in the general vicinity without naming UnNamed specifically. When I took up fly-fishing, catch and release became the mantra, though the old black skillet still gets used on occasion.
We came to UnNamed right after the school year ended and before the summer haying began. Mom and Dad had a custom hay hauling business. Between hay cuttings in August, we came, too. Our lives were simple. We worked hard and played easy. Still do.
The UnNamed River that runs through the canyon where I sit writing at this moment—at July's ending, seated in a chair, in the water, wearing my summer black short shorts with a cold margarita placed on a flat rock a hand length's away( it's 80 plus in the sun; I'm in the cooler shade of the creek cottonwood)—has the soft cadence of languid summer days.
The river starts as a series of brooks that come together as a creek, cascading from the base of a wilderness area's highest elevation. The flow is tamed by the first large valley where it meanders gently through pine, willow, aspen, red osier dogwood and alder thickets: home to small mountain brook trout, beaver, song birds, butterflies, deer, coyote, squirrels, raptors, a few eagles and occasionally elk. There are mountain lion and bobcat here, too, though I've never seen one. A few cattle graze this area, but less so than in years past.
My first hike to the headwaters was 30 years ago. JJ and I hiked into the wilderness, setting up our mountaineering tent in a sequestered grove of aspens near a bend in the creek. The following morning, both of us fly fished for brooks en route to the source. Along the way we marveled at the richness of the summer wildflowers: delphiniums that towered above our heads, the delicate and intricate columbines, paintbrush, yellow monkey flowers, elephant heads and an array of penstemons. With her pad and drawing pencils, she illustrated several scenes.
Hummingbirds were active in this fecund garden of nature. Somewhere en route at a deep pool, we stripped naked and slipped into the water. The cold, clear, mountain creek was like a jolt of electricity, energizing us for the remainder of the upper valley trek. We eventually arrived at UnNamed's source: a Garden of Eden.
The natural tending by Mother Nature was extraordinary: a scene mindful of manicured French and English gardens, abundant with a variety of wildflowers and a series of little brooks gushing from springs at the basaltic rock. There were still a few remnants of snow. Gathering as one, the little brooks tumbled from its high mountain nest over a small waterfall, the beginnings of NoName Creek which later (30 miles distant) gets a name change to NoName River—the only such body of water in the state which I know whose adolescent name is changed when reaching adulthood. From beginning to end, NoName winds from high pine and fir country to the high desert—a near hundred mile course—and then exhausts itself as though dying from old age.
Every time that I come to the camp at NoName, the past comes with me. I hear the laughter and stories of days gone by. I see my Dad in the prime of his life along solitary stretches of the river making casts toward the wary and elusive rainbow and red band trout. Occasionally, he would take a break and light up a Pall Mall, a habit which he overcame the last 20 years of his life, but he had to live with the lung damage along the way. His choice though, as I've recognized that all humans have vices, one way or the other, and some things that some people call vices are really not vices at all. It is the fabric of our intricate makeup. NoName makes me philosophic, yet, concurrently, it also makes me—that is, allows me—to be empty and pure again without any philosophy, religion, imprints, prejudices and DNA encoded weight. I'm light at NoName, like the feathered flight of warblers, spotted sandpipers, tree sparrows, flycatchers and the Western tanagers that frequent the camp. NoName is anonymity and anonymity is freedom.
The presence of my wife is here, as are part of her ashes, released the summer after her death, by our son and me, and her sister and husband. The last time we stayed here together as a family was the summer of the year she died. The three of us threw our bedrolls on the ground and slept under the stars. The night was still and the twinkling stars glistened in the heavens. We counted falling stars. Little did we know that her star would transcend later in the year.
Our NoName camp has been from simple to deluxe, depending on how much time we stayed. Sometimes, it would just be a pup tent or a sleeping bag on the ground. Most times though, we had a full tent (or the 16-foot antique camp trailer), a screened kitchen tent, two umbrella tables, two hammocks and a portable dining table. Often, we brought a kayak or inflatable raft. Often with family and friends, we spent the Fourth of July here, sometimes the camp swelling to 20 or so. Today, I'm camping alone.
NoNAME'S NAME
NoName has many names, among them: love, family, honor, celebration, peace, tranquility, the moment, nature, harmony, simplicity, tradition.
Wherever your NoName is: attend to it. Let it flow through you and become a part of you, and never let it go. If let go, you are denying a vital aspect of your soul. In a sense, your NoName is an ultimate freedom.
Highway 101 & 1 California/Camping Journey
May 20th, 2014 by LarryIt has been a 3-week adventure traveling down California Highway 101 and 1 along the coast from the Oregon border. We reached our southernmost camp at Morro Strand State Park, making it our eight and final encampment. These words are written at campsite A. The view is perfect of the beach. The sun has come out drenching unique Morro Rock—home of the peregrine falcon—with morning light, as foreground to fog and clouds at Montana de Oro in the background.
Our campsite is unique and campground host Jeanie says it's the best site tho' overlooked by most because of the proximity to the restrooms and the walking trail to the beach. Our tent is on a small dune, abuts to the snowy plover protection zone for breeding and nesting purposes. Literally our tent is against the cable, directly facing the Pacific…indeed, a room with a view and surprising privacy, too. It is amazingly quiet here during the week. Surfers come for the weekend and things amp up.
Daily we walk the beach for exercise and refreshment…and photography. The coastline is quieter here, much less rugged than what we've seen driving down. The strands of waves that come in are lace-like, as they break on the gentle, ample beach. There is a constant conversation between the surf and shoreline. Our friend Kevin at Big Lagoon camp (where we stayed on the first leg of the journey) mentioned that when he got a motel in Eureka one night to stay, he couldn't sleep because he couldn't hear the surf. Shore birds are abundant.
Our eight campground stays: Big Lagoon (3 nights; our only encampment off Highway 101; the remainder were off Highway 1), Westport, Gualala, Sunset State Park (near Monterrey), Limekiln (Big Sur), Kirk (Big Sur), San Simeon State Park (near Hearst Castle) and Morro Strand. We've stayed mainly in state parks with the exception of one county park (Big Lagoon) and a private campground south of Gualala. Five nights were spent sleeping in the back of Lynette's pickup and the remaining nights in my 5-star tent. Each encampment has had its' own uniqueness, beauty and pleasure.
Highway 1 is one of the most picturesque highways in America. The coastline is spectacular with a combination of rugged (mainly) and gentle scenery. Spring is a great time for travel because of the abundance of wildflowers, greenness and mild weather…and less traffic during the summer months.
We intentionally started with no itinerary, as this is my favorite travel mode, to go with the whims of the wind, if you will…to stay where you wish, as long as you wish. Only once did we find a campground full whereas we had to go elsewhere.
Our notion was to explore back roads as much as possible…and so we did. Literally, the first day—after departing Talent, Oregon—we departed the main road to the coast, traveling a dirt road through Stout Redwood Grove, ending up south of Crescent City. Yahoo!
The Big Lagoon camp was the perfect start. Our view was idyllic. The following day we explored the charming hamlet of Trinidad with its' lighthouse, new dock, art shops, eateries (we had clam chowder) and the wonderful Moonstone Crossing (www.moonstonecrossing.com) Wine Shop with their whimsical wine label names such as Wish Upon a Star, Temptation of Angels and Midnight Caress.
The day of our departure we joined Kevin at the Arcata Saturday Farmer's Market. Try out their famous waffle and potato/gravy concoction (which they're famous for). We purchased some artisan bread (a couple of days later, a skunk made a raid in our food box, absconding with a $7 loaf!), greens and fruit for the road.
Driving south, we went through the Avenue of the Giants…the land of redwoods that will leave you awestruck. At Leggett, we departed Highway 101 for the start of Highway 1, winding our way to the coast, north of Westport, where we had a campsite not to die for…because if you did, you would miss the glorious sunset which we experienced. We had cocktails on the bluff overlooking this magnificent coastline.
Quaint, quiet and under-spoken Westport (which I had a history with 30 years ago) was our first stop the following day as we wandered the streets, getting in our morning walk. Passing through Fort Bragg, we made our way to Point Arena Lighthouse (a must stop), the town of Point Arena (a town that I could live in) and the old, funky, charming Point Arena dock where we ate fish and chips, a great Manhattan chowder and drank a couple of Old Rasputin beers. Heaven! Then we made our way past Gualala and found a private campsite for the night.
Bodega Bay, Tomales, Tomales Bay, Point Reyes, Stinson Beach, San Francisco and Santa Cruz we traveled through the following day, en route to our Sunset Camp. We walked to the beach that evening and had it all to ourselves. This campground is a nice find and it is unique being right next to farm fields. I fell in love with Tomales and Tomales Bay with fresh oysters and lamb sandwiches to be had. The countryside pulsated with spring green.
Departing Sunset, we made our way to Big Sur, stopping by Caramel-by-the-Sea briefly. Forty years ago, it was charming. I couldn't wait to leave this time tho' because of tourists like me. I have no desire to go back. I remember back then photographing the Bing Crosby Open (I met Pat Summerall and Katherine Crosby) and pissing off Johnny Miller because my shutter went off prematurely when he was putting! Yahoo!
The Big Sur coastline is as I had remembered it from years ago. Rugged, stellar, achingly beautiful…but with much more traffic than way by then. Our Limekiln and Kirk Creek encampments were blessed, as was our hike to a nearby waterfall and rocky beach explorations. This is a place (especially Kirk) to take a deep breath and exhale slowly a landscape that is utterly profound to the eyes and heart. Get one of poet Robinson Jeffers books and read about this area.
I've never been to Disneyland and I have no desire to. Hearst Castle the same…but we did stop at the Hearst Ranch Winery after departing Big Sur and it was most enjoyable. I did photograph the castle in the background and we stayed at nearby San Simeon State Park which was pleasant. The following day we arrived at Morro Bay.
The Morro Bay stay has been memorable with day trips to beautiful downtown San Luis Obispo (Lynette got her first degree at Cal Poly), Morro Bay Harbor, Montana de Oro, Los Osos, Avila Beach, San Luis Bay and downtown Morro Bay.
The pics will tell the rest of the story.
Whistler, BC
April 8th, 2014 by LarryJust released my latest story on www.highonadventure.com. It's about my recent trip to Whistler, BC, Canada…skiing, bobsledding (with famous Jamaican bobsled coach Pat Brown from the movie Cool Runnings) ziplining and exploring the Olympic Village. Enjoy and read and the photos of this world class destination.
Four-man bobsled
March 14th, 2014 by LarryAt 365 yards, we reached 80 MPH in the four-man bobsled and G forces of 4plus. It was the most exhilarating ride that I've ever taken…likened to astronauts being blasted into space. My respect for bobsledders reached a new level with the experience at the Whistler (Canada) Sliding Center, the site of the luge, bobsledding and skeleton events during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. And of all things, the driver of our sled was Pat Brown who once coached the Jamaican Bobsled Team, made famous in the movie Cool Runnings. View the general public offering at www.whistlerslidingcentre.com. I was rider #2, in the yellow jacket, right behind Pat. My friend John Paulsen was rider #4 in the sled. Out of seven teams we had the top time Last Saturday evening which was also the top time of the week and our top speed was equal to that of the Sochi Games (where Pat just returned from as a bobsled women's judge) winners. The Whistler track is the fastest in the world.
Whistler Blackcomb
March 9th, 2014 by LarryWhistler Blackcomb is one of the world's greatest snowsports resorts and the host to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Vancouver, BC is one of the world's greatest cities. These images represent some photo snippets from the last few days with my friend John Paulson. Enjoy, hey!
Death Valley National Park
February 13th, 2014 by LarryDeath Valley National Park is one of my favorite places on this old and beautiful earth…especially during the winter months when one can warm up like a lizard within the comfortable embrace of this unique zone which encompasses the lowest place in the USA (-284 feet below sea level) and is near the highest elevation in the Lower 48 States: Mount Whitney. My favorite camping area is Panamint Springs, space 27. However I like Stovepipe Wells Campground, too…and the access to the swimming pool…which we had all to ourselves for a week recently. Death Valley is perfect for hiking and exploring, just bring plenty of water, some energy food…and watch out for the sidewinders, especially in and around the sand dunes! With offroad travel in the park, bring an extra tire or gunk for filling up flats. We had one flat. The only repair station is the Chevron in Furnace Creek. Enjoy the laid back ambience of Panamint Springs. 180 beers are available, including several nice tap selections. They even had one of my alltime favorites: Deschutes Brewery's Abyss! January and February day temps get into the 70s. Nice! Nights can be cool, though, so prepare yourself appropriately.
British Columbia, Canada
December 17th, 2013 by LarryMy latest story at www.highonadventure.com is about skiing and exploring Red Mountain and Rossland, British Columbia, Canada…the hometown and mountain of my friend Nancy Green who was named Canada's Female Athlete of the Century a few years ago. Enjoy the read and photos!

Neither the State Highways nor the National Highways authorities could take up the road renewal works. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was asked to take up only new roads and bypass road projects.
After repeated representations, the Union Surface Transport Ministry provided funds for the works. Then the impasse prevailed over who will be the executing agency and take up the works.
The National Highways has now commenced the work of widening the 7-km stretch into a four-lane road.
The work would involve construction of bridges and a median. The width of the road will be 18.70 m.
Preliminary works for removing Electricity Board poles and transformers has just begun and authorities plan to cut down trees. Four saplings will be planted for every tree cut down.
The work is being taken up at an outlay of Rs. 15 crore. The authorities plan to complete the same within six months. There is a growing demand to widen the stretch from Stock Exchange building to Lanka Corner.

Rolls-Royce statement regarding Emirates order
Wednesday, 11 June 2014
Rolls-Royce has been advised by Airbus of the cancellation of an Emirates' order for 70 A350 aircraft. While disappointed with this decision, we are confident that the delivery slots which start towards the end of this decade vacated by Emirates will be taken up by other airlines. Demand for the Airbus A350 remains strong, with more than 700 aircraft and 1,400 Trent XWB engines already sold.
We retain a close working relationship with Emirates and continue to support their 38 Rolls-Royce powered wide body aircraft currently in service.
As a result of today's announcement, our order book will reduce by around 3.5% or £2.6bn. The order for 70 A350 aircraft was confirmed in 2007 as part of a larger $8.4bn announcement relating to a total of 120 Aircraft, all with TotalCare services. The options for the additional 50 aircraft, and the TotalCare contracts were not included in the amount captured in our Order Book.

On 6 May 2014 Rolls-Royce announced it had signed an agreement to sell its Energy gas turbine and compressor business to Siemens for a £785m cash consideration. On completion, expected before the end of December 2014, Rolls-Royce will receive a further £200 million for a 25 year licensing agreement.

I have the mod series version of these with the inside being white and the outside being black. These are pretty dope and a classic pair of shades. They fit is very snug. The all black originals look better imo because you can see the white outlining around the lenses if you get the black and white version.

Sunny Outlook For Starwood's Specialty Select Brand Group Includes Fast-Paced Global Growth, New Markets Worldwide
With three of the world's most sought-after hotel brands, the mid-market Specialty Select Brand group of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) is forecasting fast-paced global growth from the 18 th annual Lodging Conference in sunny Phoenix, Arizona.
Starwood's select-service portfolio, which includes Aloft, Element and Four Points by Sheraton, is expected to open its milestone 250 th hotel in early 2013, with 10 more hotels scheduled to open over the next four months. In North America alone, Starwood will bring its Specialty Select group to more than 170 hotels by the end of the year will reach a milestone 175 hotels in January of 2013. Starwood's mid-market portfolio has grown over 50 percent since Q1 of 2009 reflecting its worldwide appeal.
"Aloft, Element, and Four Points continue to exceed expectations of our guests and our partners, and demand for the brands worldwide reflects their appeal," said Simon Turner, President of Global Development for Starwood. "All three Specialty Select brands enjoy loyal and growing fan bases, and continue to attract broad new segments of global travelers. And for developers in a huge range of markets, the popularity and positioning of the brands, combined with flexible development options and cost efficient operating models, make them highly sought after." To keep up with global demand, Starwood brands like Aloft and Four Points are also leveraging conversions and adaptive reuse opportunities as additional growth channels.
With over 1,100 Starwood properties now open in nearly 100 countries, Starwood's mid-market brands are a significant part of Starwood's growth momentum:
Aloft: To keep up with growing global demand, Aloft is embracing existing hotel conversions and adaptive reuse projects. Aloft's first two conversions, Aloft San Francisco Airport, and Aloft Nashville West End opened in September. Conversions or adaptive-reuse projects are also underway in Tucson, Tulsa, Orlando, Miami, and Detroit, ramping up a new channel for global growth. Starwood's sizzling "style at a steal" brand recently unveiled a burgeoning global pipeline expected to bring the brand to 80 hotels around the world in 2013. Nearly every corner of the globe will see Aloft openings in 2012-13, with expanded footprints across China, India, and the Americas. Aloft's social guest experience, with the buzzing re:mix lounge and w xyz bar, has also earned select hotels within the portfolio designations in TripAdvisor's 2012 "Top 25 Trendiest Hotels in the US" rankings. Element: Stylish and sustainable, Element will have hotels in eleven North American markets by the end of 2013. Starwood's trailblazing eco-wise brand will make its international debut in 2013 with a new Element hotel in Vaughan Mills, Ontario. New Jersey will get its second Element hotel in 2014 with Element Harrison. Element's first hotel outside North America, Element Frankfurt, will also open in 2014. Beloved by travelers for its light-filled spaces and nature-inspired design, Element made history in 2008 as the only major hotel brand to pursue LEED certification for high-performance buildings brand-wide. Four Points by Sheraton: Continuing to ride a swell of global growth, Four Points boasts Starwood's second-largest pipeline, including 20 new hotels around the world planned over the next 12 months – including the milestone opening of its 175 th property. Four Points boasts Starwood's second largest development pipeline in China, one of the hottest growth markets for the brand and for Starwood. The brand already manages 16 hotels in China, with another 5 poised to open by the end of next year, primarily in fast-growing secondary and tertiary markets. Over the next year, Four Points will also debut in every corner of the globe, from Lima, Peru to Kecskemet, Hungary to Medina, Saudi Arabia. With the scheduled openings, Four Points will command a presence in 32 countries and territories, up from 28 at the end of 2011. "Exceptional guest ratings, high praise from partner/developers, and acclaim from the media continue to propel Starwood's Specialty Select brands to the top of their category," said Brian McGuinness, Starwood's Senior Vice President, Specialty Select Brands. "Each of our Specialty Select Brands reinvents the category in a unique way, and their singular personalities translate beautifully all over the world," he said. "More importantly, Aloft, Element, and Four Points consistently deliver outstanding guest experiences. Their exceptional guest satisfaction ratings across the board engender terrific loyalty, and fuel continued and consistent growth."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Prada Spring 2013 | Runway
Prada Spring 2013
After last season's dazzling, print-on-print pantsuit action, it was anyone's guess what Miuccia Prada would offer up for Spring 2013. It's fairly certain, though, that an army of robotic geisha dressed in black, satin, and pale pink was not on anyone's list. Wearing teetering geta flatforms or slipper-like tabi sock shoes, they marched, faces deadpan and hair piled high in messy pixie spikes.
And as for the clothes, they came in vaguely Japanese silhouettes and slickly saturated hues. Crewneck tops, kimono jackets, below-the-knee shorts, A-line miniskirts, off-the-shoulder wraps, and three-quarter-sleeve shifts were cut in boxy shapes that hung crisply off the body in unfussy lines. But it wasn't all cold android emotion and dark sobriety; for a hint of playful innocence, nearly every look came adorned with cartoon-like floral appliqué or prints, and a series of pastel-hued pieces toward the end of the show were sculpted artfully in origami folds.

Roberts garners all-star honors
Rachel Roberts, a starting infielder as a freshman at Pacific University, has been named to the Northwest Conference softball second team of all-stars.
Starting both at second base and shortstop, the 2012 Oregon City High School graduate had a .331 batting average on the 2013 season. Batting in the No. 2 hole in the Boxer lineup, Roberts led the team and tied for eighth in the conference in runs scored (35) and she ranked fifth in the conference with 20 stolen bases.
Rachel is a middle infielder who has an outstanding knowledge of the game and instincts for the game, said Pacific coach Tim Hill. Her growth throughout the season was a major factor in her and the teams much improved play in the second half of the year.
The Boxers finished with an overall record of 21-19 and tied for third place in the Northwest Conference. They were picked to finish sixth.

The circuit shown in Figure 1 is a single-supply, low power, window detector with programmable upper and lower limits. This type of circuit can be used to generate an alarm if a signal falls outside the preset limits and is popular in detection and monitoring applications. The AD5668-1 octal, low power, 16-bit, buffered voltage-output DAC is used to set the limits of the window. The AD5668-1 has an on-chip, 1.25 V, 5 ppm/°C reference, giving a full-scale output range of 0 V to 2.5 V. The internal reference is enabled using a software write. An SPI interface is used to communicate with the AD5668-1.
The comparator used is an ADCMP370, a general-purpose, low power comparator (20 μW typical at 5 V) with an input offset voltage of 9 mV maximum and an open-drain output.
Figure 1. Low Power, Single-Supply Window Detector (Simplified Schematic: All Connections and Decoupling Not Shown)
The circuit in Figure 1 is an upper and lower limit programmable window detector. The upper and lower limits are loaded into each DAC register individually. The primary application of the circuit is to test if an external signal falls within the programmed limits.
The AD5668-1 is an octal DAC, and the outputs on Channel A and Channel B set the upper and lower limits, respectively.
For test purposes, DAC C provides the signal input. When the signal enters the region set by DAC A and DAC B, the voltage at TP1 goes to Logic 1, LED1 is off, and LED2 is on. When the signal is outside the window set by the upper and lower limits, LED1 is on, and LED2 is off.
If a pull-up resistor is connected to the output of the ADCMP370, its output is 5 V if the noninverting input is greater than the inverting input; otherwise, it is 0 V.
The ADCMP370, has an open-drain output, allowing the output of Comparator C1 and Comparator C2 to be wire-AND'ed together. The truth table for the circuit is shown in Table 1. In this example, VOUTA is the upper limit, VOUTB is the lower limit, and VOUTA > VOUTB.
The circuit operation is illustrated in Figure 2. DAC C generates a 0 V to 2.5 V triangle waveform that drives the VINC (TP2/TESTC) input to the comparators. The threshold levels are set by DAC A (VOUTA = 2 V) and DAC B (VOUTB = 1 V). The voltage at TP1 goes to a Logic 1 when the VINC voltage is between the two thresholds.
Table 1. Truth Table of Circuit
VINC Level | Output CMP1 | Output CMP2 | Output CMP1 AND Output CMP2 | TP1 | LED1 | LED2 |
VINC < VOUTB < VOUTA | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | On | Off |
VINC > VOUTA > VOUTB | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | On | Off |
VOUTB < VINC < VOUTA | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | Off | On |
Figure 2. Output of Window Comparator for VOUTA = 2 V, VOUTB = 1 V, and VINC = Ramp from 0 V to 2.5 V
Equipment Needed (Equivalents Can Be Substituted)
Getting Started
Load the evaluation software by placing the CN-0182 evaluation software CD in the CD drive of the PC. Using My Computer, locate the drive that contains the evaluation software CD and open the Readme file.
Follow the instructions contained in the Readme file for installing and using the evaluation software.
Functional Block Diagram
Figure 3 shows a functional diagram block of the test setup.
Figure 3. Test Setup Functional Block Diagram
Connect the 120-pin connector on the EVAL-CN0182-SDZ circuit board to the CON A or CON B connectors on the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z evaluation (SDP) board. Use screws to firmly secure the two boards, using the holes provided at the ends of the 120-pin connectors. After successfully setting the dc output supply to 5 V and 3.3 V, turn the power supply off.
With the power supply off, connect the 5 V power supply to the J1-1 pin (AVDD), connect GND to the J1-2 and J2-2 pins, respectively (AGND and DGND), connect 3.3 V to the J2-1 pin (VLOGIC). Alternatively, place Link 2 in Position B to power the digital circuitry from the USB port via the SDP board (default setting). VLOGIC is not needed in this case.
Turn on the power supply and then connect the USB cable with the SDP board to the USB port on the PC. Note: do not connect the USB cable to the mini-USB connector on the SDP board before turning on the dc power supply for the EVAL-CN0182-SDZ.
After setting up the test equipment, connect the probes of the oscilloscope to the test points marked TP1, VOUTA, VOUTB, and TP2/TESTC.
The provided software allows the value of VOUTA and VOUTB to be set, defining the window. If the default settings are kept, press triangle in the main software window to create a triangle signal on VINC, as shown in Figure 2. The duration and the amplitude of this signal can be varied. This signal can be observed on the TP2/ TESTC test point. With a 1 second duration, and VOUTA and VOUTB settled to 2000 mV and 1000 mV, respectively, the two LEDs blink as the value of VINC comes in and out of the limits, as explained in the Circuit Description section. The AD5668-1 DAC limits the maximum value for VOUTA, VOUTB, and VINC at 2.5 V.
Putting Link 5 in Position A allows the external signal, VINC, to be applied on the VIN pin. This can be observed on the TP2 test point. In addition, the output can be observed on the TP1 test point.
When Link 1 is not inserted, the output changes depending on the level of VINC compared to VOUTA.
Table 2. Jumper Settings (Default Settings Bolded Within Table)
Jumper | Description | Setting | Function |
LK1 | CMP1 and CMP2 comparator output connections | Inserted Opened |
The CMP1 and CMP2 outputs are shorted together at TP1. This is the window comparator configuration. The two CMP outputs are not shorted. CMP1 is linked to the LEDs only, and VINC is only compared to VOUTA (high level). |
LK2 | Digital supply source | Position A Position B |
The digital circuit is supply by an external power supply connected to the J2-1 pin (VLOGIC). The digital power is supply by the SDP board; it is not necessary to put any voltage on the VLOGIC pin. |
LK5 | VINC voltage source | Position A Position B |
VINC is set by the SDP and can be measured on the TESTC test point. VINC is set by an external supply (0 V to 5 V) through the J2-3 pin (VIN) and can be measured on the TP2 test point. |

5 "Man Chores" That Will Get Him To Do Housework
In today's piece "13 Male Habits The World Could Do Without," number 13 includes "pleaning," defined as "cleaning something so poorly we're prompted to say, 'Man, this was a piss-poor cleaning.'"
Love Buzz is quite familiar with this phenomenon: man says he'll clean his mess in the kitchen. Man spends some time with Windex and paper towels and proclaims said room spotless. When you go in five minutes later to retrieve the hummus from the fridge you find grease on the stove, crumbs on the floor, and pieces of… something, stuck the counter. When questioned, man says, "It looks clean to me!"
According to Simon Oaks, author of Will Marry for Food, Sex and Laundry, men aren't wired for certain chores. He cites the (made-up) proverb: "Give a man a clean kitchen and he'll make a mess of the place after one meal. Teach a man to clean a kitchen and you'll probably have to clean up after him anyway." Read "Chores for Two: Why Men Don't Pitch In"
So how do you handle housework when one of you is a repeat pleaning offender? Oaks devotes a whole chapter of his book to this; here are a few highlights.
1. Ask him do "man chores." These include things that are dangerous (climbing a ladder to clean the gutters), require tools (pruning the bushes with a chain saw) or have obvious results (putting up shelves. Bonus here, since he can use a power drill.) If he does some heavy lifting (literally and metaphorically) you might feel better about doing the more detail-oriented tasks. Read "Advice on Divvying up Household Chores"
2. Trick him into helping out. You've split the tasks and still find yourself doing more? Turn regular old housework into a man chore. Let him choose a replacement for your new vacuum—one that has three speeds and detachable parts. Or ask him to clean the bathroom using dangerous chemicals.
