A system is disclosed for locating swimmers who could be in danger of drowning, as determined by preset parameters such as the time duration that they remain at a depth where breathing is impossible. In this system, each individual swimmer wears a Swimmer Location Monitor (SLM). This is a miniature electronic device that not only determines the extent of the swimmer's danger but also emits an electromagnetic alarm signal whenever such a danger exists. At each occurrence, an alarm, which may be audible and/or visual, is sounded on the surface while the swimmer's location is tracked in real time from the signals received on an antenna network deployed along the bottom of the swimming area. These signals are combined in a central processor and the computed real-time location is displayed graphically on a monitor to guide the guard personnel in rescue operations. The invention is intended for use in pools, beaches, water parks and other swimming areas.

There are a wide variety of safety concerns regarding swimming, particularly at swimming pools, water parks, and beaches. In many instances, despite the presence of life guards, help for a swimmer in trouble comes far too late to prevent drowning. Even with adequate staffing numbers, lifeguards often find it difficult to monitor, effectively and safely, large numbers of swimmers.
There have been numerous attempts at developing automatic alarm equipment to warn of swimmers in danger. Several inventions have focused on protecting children and non-swimmers from drowning in backyard swimming pools (See e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,953,843; 3,969,712; 4,079,364; 4,121,200; 4,187,502; 4,747,085; 5,049,859). These devices typically monitor for the undesired presence of a body in a swimming pool such as from a slip or fall. However, these devices are often not effective for monitoring active swimming areas where persons have intentionally entered the water.
Other swimmer safety devices address the protection of scuba divers (See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,307,449). Many of these devices operate simply by measuring the total amount of time in the water, or by measuring the amount of time spent at a given depth. For example, measuring the duration of a scuba dive (U.S. Pat. No. 4,307,449), or monitoring the time period of a scuba diver's maximum depth (See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,336,591). Unfortunately, these devices do not determine whether a swimmer is in distress or experiencing other difficulties. Nor are these devices useful for determining the location of a swimmer.
Some devices for detecting a swimmer in the water are known. Many of these detection methods rely on some variation of an acoustic or sound based technique. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,337,527 describes a system that uses ultrasonic transmission through the water to identify underwater targets. A human operator listening to the headphone output classifies the target and determines its location. U.S. Pat. No. 4,459,689 describes an apparatus utilizing combination energy transmitting and receiving transducer for detecting and locating objects within a plurality of zones. U.S. Pat. No. 4,635,242 describes an underwater signaling device utilizing acoustic sound generators. However, these devices are not capable of monitoring crowded swimming environments.
A few devices for detecting swimmers in distress are known. (See e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,932,009 and 5,097,254 describe systems for detecting distressed swimmers). However these inventions use acoustic transducers rather than electromagnetic antennas. Furthermore, these devices do not pinpoint the location of distressed swimmers.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,822 entitled Marine Object Detector describes a system that uses low frequency electromagnetic transmission through the water and measures amplitude and phase anomalies caused by intruding swimmers in a protected area. This patent has the objective of protecting bridges, piers etc. of military importance from being destroyed by explosive charges. However, this invention only monitors the presence of an undesired swimmer and does not permit the monitoring of swimmers in areas where their presence is desired.
Therefore, of particular interest is the development of a system for monitoring large numbers of swimmers in a swimming pool, beach area, or water park. Such a system would be capable not only of monitoring the swimming status of a large number of swimmers, but would also be capable of pinpointing the exact location of a swimmer in distress with sufficient warning to permit a timely rescue.
All references cited herein are incorporated by reference.
The present invention overcomes many of the disadvantages of the prior art in tracking swimmers in pools, beaches, and water parks. The prior methods using acoustic waves and ultrasonics suffer sensor and/or signal discrimination errors from line-of-sight limitations, signal reflections from the boundaries of the pool structure, air bubbles introduced into the water, and from signal recognition errors in crowded swimming areas. By using low frequency (500 Hz-25,000 Hz) electromagnetic coupling between the miniature inductive transmitters worn by the swimmers to large loop antennas, or other suitable receiving antennas on the bottom surface, most of these disadvantages are overcome. The present invention utilizes electromagnetic means to protect swimmers.
An objective of the invention is to provide an improved apparatus or system for detecting and locating swimmers at risk in a timely manner that would facilitate their rescue and eliminate many of the drownings that occur each year. This objective can also encompass locating non-swimmers or small children who enter the water.
The invention provides a low frequency electromagnetic surveillance system for tracking the location of swimmers who may be in peril. The invention includes the equipping of each swimmer with an individual Swimmer Location Monitor (SLM) that transmits a pulsed, low frequency alarm when specified thresholds, for example, of time and depth, monitored by the SLM are exceeded. The invention is capable of generating an electromagnetic field through the water from a transmitter contained in the SLM where the electromagnetic field is subsequently transmitted to a receiver for the magnetic field transmission in the swimming area. The invention also is capable of amplifying, filtering and processing the received signals resulting in a graphical and/or numerical display of the distressed swimmer's location. The invention is also capable of triggering an alarm (audible or visual) whenever specified thresholds are exceeded.
The invention provides a miniaturized electronic device, or SLM, that can be worn by a swimmer to enhance his/her safety during recreational swimming in crowded pools, beaches and water parks. The SLM can detect or measure swimmer distress by any number of criteria, including, but not limited to, detecting water pressure, detecting water depth, the amount of time spent in the water, submersion in water, and/or any combination of these.
The invention provides a device to transmit an electromagnetic field which is generated in a series tuned ferrite coil antenna or other similar hardware. The invention further provides a method of electromagnetic field transmission through the water from a miniaturized solid state switching transmitter contained in the SLM.
The invention also provides a magnetic field transmission receiver which comprises a network of multi-turn loop antennas, or other suitable receiving antennas, deployed in the swimming area. In one preferred embodiment the invention provides a system in which the antennas are deployed along the bottom of a swimming pool, or in the swimming area of a beach.
The invention is capable of being automatically powered whenever it is simply immersed in water, or immersed in water at a pre-selected depth and/or period of time, and automatically powering down whenever it leaves the water. The invention further is capable of powering on in a monitor mode. In the monitor mode the unit does not transmit even though it is "on." The invention also provides an alarm which is activated when the SLM is powered on. This mode of operation is useful for detecting persons that are not supposed to be in the water, such as small children.
The invention is also capable of telemetering the data from the swimming area receivers to a central processor via wireless telemetry.
Yet another objective of the invention is to utilize computer systems to detect, display and record all swimmer events of a potentially high risk nature occurring at pools, beaches and water parks. The invention further is capable of recording all swimmer distress events in computer memory for playback and analysis at a later date if necessary.
Other objectives and advantages of the SLM system will be readily appreciated as the invention becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed descriptions when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of the Swimmer Location System (SLM) embodying the invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a typical SLM receiver antenna deployment scheme.
FIG. 3 shows a series of curves illustrating electromagnetic attenuation factors between two antennas as a function of separation distance in a conducting medium such as water.
FIGS. 4A-C show a selected version of a schematic diagram of a single receiver channel.
As used herein, "low frequency" refers to a range of 500-25,000 Hz.
The present invention is a low frequency electromagnetic surveillance system for tracking the location of swimmers who may be in danger. Each swimmer is equipped with an individual Swimmer Location Monitor (SLM) which transmits a pulsed low frequency alarm when specified thresholds monitored by the SLM (such as depth and time) are exceeded. The invention generates an electromagnetic field through the water from a transmitter contained in the SLM, and the electromagnetic field is subsequently transmitted to a receiver in the swimming area. The invention amplifies, filters, and processes the received signals resulting in a graphical and/or numerical display of the distressed swimmer's location. The invention is also capable of triggering an alarm (audible or visual) whenever specified thresholds are exceeded.
In various embodiments the SLM identifies swimmer distress by detecting water pressure, detecting water depth, the amount of time spent in the water, or submersion in water. However, any criteria related to possible swimmer distress may be employed. The device also may be designed to interpret contact with water as a distress event, for example, to locate small children who have fallen into a swimming area. Other embodiments encompass other suitable receiving antenna systems.
In one embodiment the transmitted electromagnetic field is generated in a series tuned ferrite coil antenna driven by a solid state switching transmitter.
In one embodiment the present invention accurately determines the location of the distressed swimmer by a receiving the magnetic field transmission in a network of multi-turn loop antennas. In one preferred embodiment, the antennas are deployed along the bottom of a pool. In other embodiments, the antennas are deployed at the bottom of the swimming area.
Another embodiment of the present invention additionally can automatically power the SLM whenever it is immersed in water and automatically power down whenever it leaves the water.
Other embodiments of the present invention include a capability of telemetering the data from the receivers to the central processor via wireless telemetry.
Still other embodiments of the invention include a capability of recording all swimmer events related to the use of the SLM in computer memory for playback and analysis at a later date if necessary.
In a preferred embodiment, as a distressed swimmer sinks beneath the surface of the water, his/her SLM senses an anomaly caused by exceeding a threshold water pressure for a threshold time period and triggers the transmitter to begin transmitting its pulsed alarm signal. Because the entire area is covered with a grid of intersecting loop antennas, two or more of these antennas detect the alarm signal and relay the information back to the central processor. The location of the distressed swimmer is determined as the area defined by the intersection of the responding antennas. As the alarm signal is flashed on the video display screen, an accompanying audible and/or visual alarm and location display is provided in the vicinity of the lifeguard station to alert the guard personnel of the swimmer distress.
In a preferred embodiment the invention comprises a process whereby the device worn by the swimmer is activated when certain predefined thresholds of depth and time are exceeded simultaneously. The SLM is packaged in a miniature waterproof enclosure that is normally attached to a belt (other locations are possible) worn by the swimmer. In an alarm situation, the SLM transmits low frequency RF pulses from a low voltage full-wave switching transmitter driving a series-tuned ferrite coil. Sufficient battery power is provided in the SLM device to provide repetitive pulse transmission for a prescribed period of time. The liquid medium for which this system was designed is typical chlorinated water found in most public swimming pools and water parks. However, as a result of the low frequency selected for this system (2500 Hz in this design but other frequencies may be utilized) and the limited distances over which the signals must propagate, the system can also operate effectively in salt water. In a preferred embodiment, the frequency is 2500 Hz. The multi-turn receiving loops each consist of a multi-conductor cable deployed along the swimming area bottom in the form of an elongated rectangular loop (antenna deployment, design, and signal reception/analysis may vary for similar applications of this technology). Each loop is terminated at its receiver input in such a way as to form a multi-turn loop with the same number of turns as are conductors in the cable. Because of the conductive nature of the chlorinated water medium, and the resulting electromagnetic energy losses in the water, there is little or no advantage gained from tuning these antennas. Consequently the tuning is left for the receivers which utilize switched capacitor bandpass amplifiers and low pass filters to reject background noise. The receiver outputs are cabled to a central processor with a CRT monitor that shows the outline of the pool and displays the location of any alarm signals that are detected. An alternate method of transmitting the receiver output signals to the central processor is one that uses short-range wireless telemetry. The SLM terminal equipment may include both video and audio alarm systems as well as a provision for recording all significant events.
Those skilled in the art recognize that the device worn by the swimmer may comprise any of a number of modes of detecting conditions related to the swimmer, that by way of example and not limitation can include the depth in the water, degree of movement, time spent at or under a certain depth or any one of a plethora of devices utilized for monitoring swimmer distress known in industry and in the art.
The following examples are offered by way of illustration and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner.
In the illustration provided in FIG. 1 there is shown a Swimmer Location Monitor (SLM) System 10 which is designed to alert guard personnel when a swimmer is at risk. FIG. 2 illustrates a typical SLM deployment. The swimmer wears a small belt-mounted device called the SLM 11 that senses depth over repetitive time intervals and decides when the individual is at risk. The transmitter 12 is a full-wave switching amplifier made up of 2 P-channel MOSFETs and 2 N-channel MOSFETS. The alarm signal is transmitted into a series-tuned ferrite coil antenna 13 and a series capacitor 14. Logic chips in the transmitter limit the transmission to a 10 percent duty cycle of a 2500 Hz square wave with a repetition rate of 1 pulse per second. The ferrite coil antenna consists of a slug of No. 4077375211 ferrite around which are wound 1500 turns of #34AWG Magnet Wire. The core length is 2 inches and the core diameter is 3/8 inch. This antenna, when tuned with a series capacitor of 0.022 μF will transmit approximately 100 milliamps when powered by a 6 volt battery. The transmitting antenna current moment is equal to the product of the current, the number of turns, the cross-sectional area of the core and the effective permeability of the core. This has been demonstrated to be more than adequate for detection over typical swimming pool dimensions. There is one receiver channel 15 for each receiving antenna 16. A receiver channel consists of a preamplifier, a switched-capacitor bandpass amplifier, a low-pass filter amplifier and a full-wave detector and filter. The output from each receiver detecting a signal is a 100 millisecond pulse with a repetition rate of 1 pulse per second. The outputs of the receivers are cabled to the central processor unit 17 which computes and displays the swimmer's location.
For smaller swimming areas that do not wish to invest in a complete computer and graphic user interface, an LED-type display and alarm panel suffices as a distressed swimmer determining and/or locating element.
The selection of 2500 Hz as the SLM transmitting frequency enables the system to follow the rules of electromagnetic coupling as opposed to radio wave propagation. The electrical conductivity of the liquid medium in most chlorinated pools ranges from 0.1 Siemens/meter to 0.3 Siemens/meter. For salt water, the conductivity increases to approximately 4.0 Siemens/meter. The skin depth is defined as the distance an electromagnetic wave must travel into a conducting medium for it to be attenuated by 37 percent. The expression for skin depth, δ, is given by:
=503.3/(σf)1/2 (assumes μ=the permeability of free space)
where δ=skin depth in meters
and ω=radian frequency (2πf)
μ=magnetic permeability of the medium in Henries/meter (for free space μ=4π�10-7)
σ=electrical conductivity of the medium in Siemens/meter
f=frequency in Hz
FIG. 3 shows the electromagnetic attenuation coefficients for electromagnetic coupling between two antennas as a function of separation distance in skin depths. For the first skin depth of penetration the attenuation factor does not fall off as rapidly as it does for greater penetrations. The skin depth at 2500 Hz associated with the conductivities specified for chlorinated pools ranges from 32 meters to 18 meters. For salt water, the skin depth is 7 meters. For separation distances that fall within these skin depth values, the electromagnetic coupling properties are not too different from what would be experienced between two antennas coupling in free space. Thus for distances over which the SLM must send its signal in a typical pool environment, the attenuating characteristics of the conductive medium can for the most part be ignored.
The SLM transmitting device 11 worn by the swimmer is packaged in a waterproof container the approximate size of a pack of playing cards. It attaches to an adjustable belt or other means of fastening the device that is worn by the swimmer at all times he/she is in the water, or near the water. Battery power is automatically applied to the device whenever the unit is submerged in the water. Under nonemergency or non-distress conditions the drain on the battery will be insignificant, on the order of a few milliamps. Only when a potentially distressed swimmer event occurs and the unit triggers the transmitter "ON" does the current drain on the battery rise to over 100 milliamps. The SLM unit 11 is designed for at least one hour of transmission under swimmer distress conditions. Because the application of power is automatic, the device can also be used to detect persons who fall in the water.
Under normal operation (for water parks, pools, beaches and other swimming area applications), the SLM unit 11 senses water pressure/depth and triggers a counter to count the time that a predefined water pressure is exceeded (Example: that pressure associated with a 3 ft. depth of the belt worn unit). When that water pressure is exceeded on a continuous basis for a predefined time interval, for example, 30 seconds, a potential swimmer distress is identified, and the transmitter begins transmitting. The electromagnetic energy emitted by the transmitter is detected on two or more of the underwater loop antennas and the SLM location is quickly determined and displayed by the central processor. Also the guard personnel are alerted by an audible and/or visual alarm that is sounded at their duty station, along with a remote display of SLM location.
FIGS. 4A-C show a schematic of one of the receiver channels 15. These units are packaged in a water-resistant enclosure since they must be located near the terminals of the antenna as they egress from the pool. They are securely mounted in a protected location and are battery powered using long-life rechargeable batteries. The multi-conductor antenna terminals are connected to the input connectors which are wired internally in sequential fashion to form a multi-turn loop with the two end wires connected to the instrumentation amplifier U5. The signal is amplified by a factor of 10 in U5 and is then fed to the switched-capacitor bandpass amplifier U1. U1 is a two stage amplifier with each stage amplifying the signal by a factor of 10. The bandpass characteristics of U1 are as follows: Center Frequency=2500 Hz, Bandwidth=100 Hz. Switched-capacitor amplifiers must be driven by a clock frequency to provide the desired tuning. In this case the clock frequency of 125 KHz (50 times the tuned frequency) is provided by the Oscillator U4. The remaining circuitry in the receiver consists of a two stage active low-pass filter (U2A and U2B) followed by a two-stage detector-filter combination (U3A and U3B). Since the alarm signal is characterized as a repetitive pulse of 2500 Hz energy operating at a 10 percent duty cycle at a rate of one pulse per second, the receiver output is a dc pulse of 100 millisecond duration appearing every second.
The terminal equipment 17 operates on these pulses in a straightforward manner. A central processing unit consisting of a computer and monitor is used in most cases. Normally they are programmed using a Graphic User Interface (GUI) showing the plan view of the water area of the pool, water park, or beach with flashing symbols to show the location of the transmissions.

Balkanski Rozi mountain chalet
The hostel is at 1100m on the trail along Stara reka - from Karlovo – Hubavets to Levski hostel/mountain house and Botev peak.
I've never stayed here, as the buildings are deep into the forest just next to the river. Balkanski rozi is about 1 hour from Hubavets (3h from Karlovo) and it's a good decision if there are no places at Hubavets and no time for Levski. Outdoor bathrooms and sinks, electricity, a kitchen and a dining room are among the amenities. The old building is much more interesting, but it's really very old. It was build after the wars (about the beginning of the 20th century) like a Red Cross summer camp for orphan children.
From Hubavets to B. Rozi the trail is pleasant. It goes through the typical for Central Balkan Beech forest. It is not so steep, as the Karlovo-Hubavets part.
The whole trail is well marked and actively used by tourists. In general I would not say it's a dangerous place, but keep in mind you are not within a town. The Karlovo-Hubavets-B.Rozi-Levski trail passes through Stara Reka Nature reserve. Please, be careful and check the National Park web paje before your trip:

Hubavetz mountain hut
A nice place on the Stara reka. The chalet is about 2 hours from Karlovo on one of the most beautiful hiking trails in Central Balkan National Park. It's a good choice for one day trip or, you could stay here overnight and continue on the next morning to Levski challet/hut and Botev Peak.
Rakia is really good, as the chalet is popular here.
For more information on the trail – leave me a note or wait until I find some time to continue :))

Storrs - So you're a frustrated UConn football fan.
Understandable, especially in the wake of the Huskies' latest meltdown, last week's 19-3 loss at Rutgers in the Big East Conference opener.
Well, try spending a few hours each day between the walls of the Burton Family Football Complex.
"Yes, obviously (it's frustrating)," tight end Ryan Griffin said Tuesday. "Three points against Rutgers isn't going to do it. That's not going to win you any ball games, so it's frustrating and it does hurt."
There's one major difference, however.
While most fans have a week to stew and lament about the coulda, woulda and shouldas, UConn's players must turn the page and search for solutions before Saturday's Homecoming Day game against Temple at Rentschler Field (1 p.m., no TV).
"It's frustrating, yeah, because you're competitive and you want to win games," quarterback Chandler Whitmer said. "It's frustrating � but you can't dwell on it too much.
"Any time you lose it's not fun, but we can't hang our heads. We come back and get to work. The good thing about football is you've got next week."
That's the challenge UConn (3-3, 0-1 Big East) faces as it prepares to face the Owls (2-2, 1-0), who enjoyed a successful return to the conference last week by rallying in the fourth quarter to upset South Florida 37-28 in Philadelphia.
And most of that challenge falls on the offense, which has been wildly inconsistent in what has turned into a win one, lose one opening six games.
"We've done a lot of good things, so we've seen it," Whitmer said. "It's in there. We just have to find how we can get that consistency each week. We all have confidence in each other. We all know what we can do. It's just frustrating when it doesn't always happen.
"We're not perfect but we also need to be better than we are and we've just got to put it together."
Griffin, a fifth-year senior, said the Huskies must begin the week with a greater sense of urgency.
"The past two years it's been up and down," he said. "And offensively we haven't played consistently for two games in a row. It is frustrating for us but we still have time to change it.
"Maybe a little frustration is good. A little aggression ... take it to the practice field and work that much harder. I know I've only got a few games left here, so I'm going to leave it all out there."
The key, Griffin said, is figuring out a way to run the football. It will not only open up the entire offense, he said, but it will take some of the pressure of the Huskies' defense, which has played consistently well every week and currently ranks sixth nationally in total defense.
"It hurts," he said. "I feel like our offense isn't holding up our end of the deal. The defense played outstanding again (at Rutgers). Since our season started they've been playing unbelievable, so we've got to do a better job as an offense.
"You can't deviate from the plan. You've got to keep doing what we do best and that's run the ball. We just have to up the tempo in practice and get this thing started."
Griffin even laughed while brushing off criticism that the Husky offense had become too predictable, especially by running so much on first down.
"We should be able to run the ball all four downs," he said. "We just need to execute."
Whitmer agreed, saying UConn must do a better job of taking advantage of its opportunities
"We were on the goal line (at Rutgers) and we couldn't punch it in," he said. "And we had good field position on a couple of other opportunities. We just couldn't get anything going and that kind of snowballs and deflates us a little bit as an offense.
"We've got to come out and keep fighting and fighting."

All the artistry and absurdity, glamour and the grit of the fashion industry are on display in the documentary "Mademoiselle C."
The "C" stands for Carine, as in Carine Roitfeld, who was the editor-in-chief of French Vogue for a decade until she left in 2011 to create her own magazine. Before that, she was Tom Ford's muse at Gucci in the 1990s, helping define the label's distinctive brand of daring, sexually charged design—porno-chic, as it become known, although Roitfeld would prefer to think of it as erotic-chic. I suppose it depends on how you feel about implied spanking.
Roitfeld herself, however, oozes chic from every pore in her being without any sort of qualifier. Leggy and sleekly Parisian in her high heels, pencil skirts and plunging button-down blouses, she radiates a sense of culture and sophistication. Her own personal style has become hugely influential and made her a celebrity unto herself alongside such fashion-conscious stars as Sarah Jessica Parker, Sean Combs and Kanye West, whom she counts as friends.Director Fabien Constant is clearly a fan. "Mademoiselle C" doesn't deify Roitfeld—it's too understated for that—but it's hardly a warts-and-all depiction of this towering fashion figure. Constant himself wonders in the film's press notes whether he ever captured Roitfeld's true nature, or whether she played a role for the camera each day.
She's certainly chattier than the infamously icy Anna Wintour, the Vogue editor who was the subject of the 2009 documentary "The September Issue." But Roitfeld remains a bit mysterious; in a rare flash of deep emotion, she gets choked up while reflecting on the power of generational bonding now that she's a grandmother.
Still, because she is who she is, she provides intimate access to a luxurious world, one that's filled with inventive imagery as well as ridiculous requests. On a glossy magazine page, the vision of a willowy blonde in giant angel wings surrounded by ethereal lighting with white feathers floating all around sounds heavenly. In execution, it's a mess of air, hair and fluff.
One of "Mademoiselle C" most intriguing aspects is how it explores the gap between fiction vs. reality, especially as Roitfeld finds her own voice and hones her own dreamlike visuals on the pages of CR Fashion Book, the publication whose launch is chronicled here.
The film also follows how becoming a grandmother for the first time influences not only her sense of self but also her work. Roitfeld's longtime partner, Christian Restoin, and their gorgeous, stylish children, Vladimir and Julia, appear briefly in the film, which fleshes her out a tad. They'd clearly prefer to be elsewhere, living their own fashionable lives, although Julia's arrival at a photo shoot with her infant daughter does provide us with the amusing image of Karl Lagerfeld pushing a stroller in all his sartorial splendor.
Among the other surreal sights "Mademoiselle C" treats us to: curvaceous Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton on a farm, done up as a naughty version of Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz," with a muscular male model standing next to her half-dressed in a cow costume. (A baby also pees all over a little girl in a princess get-up during this photo shoot with famed photographer Bruce Weber.) Roitfeld seems constantly inspired by the prospect of pushing boundaries and expectations, and that, in turn, is inspiring to watch.If fashion interests you, or if merely the creative process interests you, "Mademoiselle C" will hook you and draw you in. As a director, Constant is rather straightforward. He stays out of the picture, and he knows well enough to allow the clothes—and the jewels, and the models, and the fantasy world they all represent—to speak for themselves.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

She is stolid and reliable, sartorially and in seemingly every other way, and that forms the essence of her appeal.
The New York Times began its review with the words "stolid and humorless."
Taylor was perfectly formed for the intuitive, opportunistic life of a rebel, but not for the stolid bureaucracy of government.
1560s (implied in stolidity), from Middle French stolide (16c.), from Latin stolidus "insensible, dull, brutish," properly "unmovable," related to stultus "foolish," from PIE root *stel- "to put, stand" (see stall (n.1)).

Power rates rising for Xcel customers in western Wisconsin
State energy regulators on Friday approved a 3.8% increase in electricity rates for customers of Xcel Energy Inc.'s Northern States Power-Wisconsin utility, based in Eau Claire.
The Public Service Commission authorized an increase of $20.8 million, below the utility's requested increase of $29.1 million.
As a result of the decision, a typical customer using 730 kilowatt-hours of power a month will see a monthly increase of about $3.25, the PSC said.
The main drivers of the increase are the utility's investment in new wind farms and aging nuclear plants in Minnesota as well as transmission-line investments.
The vote came one day after regulators approved an increase of less than 1% for customers of Wisconsin Public Service Corp., Green Bay. Last month, the agency voted to keep rates unchanged for customers of Madison-based Wisconsin Power & Light Co., Madison.
Still pending before the commission are requests to raise rates filed by the state's other two investor-owned utilities, Madison Gas & Electric Co. and We Energies.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hampton Inn Garden District - St. Charles Avenue New Orleans
Very Nice Hotel
My husband and I just returned from a weekend in New Orleans. This is our fourth trip to N.O., but first time staying in the Garden District and at Hampton Inn. I did a lot of research before choosing this hotel. Since we were also traveling with another couple, I wanted to find a nice hotel, away from the French Quarter/downtown area, due to the crowds from a festival in town this weekend.
Thanks to the tripadvisor reviews, this was perfect. Right in the Garden District on the St. Charles streetcar line, clean and quiet. It's a basic hotel, no bellman, no concierge, etc. However, clean and complimentary parking. We drove out to River Road to see the plantations. Then, parked the car and rode the streetcar to the French Quarter. (Parking downtown in costly and driving is almost a nuisance). The streetcar ride was about 2.5 miles, and a nice ride. If you want to be closer to the action of the FQ, and within walking distance to your hotel, you may want to pick another hotel. However, if you want easy access to the FQ, but a quick get away from the noise and crowds, stay in the lovely Garden District... at the Hampton Inn. The rates are reasonable, it's clean and quiet!
Nice Hotel
Nice hotel. Rooms small. Breakfast is good. Very convenient because the trolley runs in front of hotel which takes you into the French Quarter.
First Class Hotel for a cheap price, worth EVERY penny!
This Hampton Inn location is AWESOME! The staff is very, very, very helpful in the front desk and they try to give you the world of advice to enjoy your stay in New Orleans. The breakfast isn't no .50 cent breakfast it is more like a $6 dollar breakfast because they go all out and everyday they have Sausage, Eggs, Crossiants, Muffins, Bananas, Orange Juice... basically anything that a normal person would eat for breakfast and the breakfast is First Class. The maids are very friendly and they keep your room nice and clean and the bathrooms are clean as well. Also when you want to leave the hotel you notice by the front doors and across the street, they have streetcars that run every 15 minutes to Borubon Street and other areas of the city and I highly recommend that you use the streetcar as opposed to driving because in downtown New Orleans, like any other big city... it's tough to find parking and if you do find parking it tends to be in a parking lot where you have to pay the attendant to park so take the streetcar. St Charles Ave you will notice when you get to Hampton Inn is an UPSCALE neighbrood. The streetcar is $1.50/one way or $15.00/person for a three (3) day pass. You wouldn't think that New Orleans would specialize in "Mexican Food" but I live near Houston and down in Houston it's "Tex-Mex Country" in terms of Mexican restaurants and right next to the Hampton Inn on the left is the BEST Mexican food that I have EVER EATEN... HANDS DOWN, and also it is cheap and only about 10 steps from the hotel itself, that's how close it is. Another good thing about this Hotel is that the PARKING is FREE and "If it's free, it's for me". That also saves you money as oppose to staying at another hotel closer into downtown New Orleans and paying for Valet parking. All in All, I enjoyed my stay at Hampton Inn St Charles Ave, and you will too!
Stay Here--great advice from natives!!
While staying at a Hampton Inn in Foley, AL, I ran into some people from New Orleans. Since I planned to go to New Orleans the next day, they highly recommended this hotel. The desk clerk at the Foley Hampton made my reservation. It is reasonably priced, very clean, and in a great location. This is such a reliable chain. That said, each hotel has it's own character. The courtyard with the swimming pool is very New Orleans and, of course, the streetcars running out front just add to the whole experience. It's walking distance to Lafayette Cemetary, and all the mansions of the Garden District. Plus, the Superior Grill is right next door with Happy Hour Margaritas every Tues., Wed., and Thursday. Just got back to MN (May 29,2004) Loved my stay in New Orleans!
Very pleased!
We chose this hotel based on the positive comments at Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. The hotel was clean and attractive with friendly and helpful staff. Parking was convenient and free. The continental breakfast was above average. The pool is only a small lap pool but the surrounding courtyard is a pleasant place to relax and eat breakfast. And, the bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever had at a chain hotel.
The St. Charles streetcar stops in front of the hotel and, with the opening of the new Canal streetcar line, will get you almost anywhere you would want to go. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
A Hidden Gem in the Garden District
The Hampton Inn Garden District (St. Charles Street) surpassed our expectations on every front. We were expecting a basic chain hotel, but what we experienced a hidden gem wrapped in a relatively new property.
The location, public rooms, accommodations, service and continental breakfast were outstanding. Having free parking and easy access to the St. Charles street car right outside the front door were added benefits. We will definitely be recommending this property to our friends.
Hampton Inn is Always Great!
Stayed at the Hampton Inn on St. Charles for a few nights in February of 2002. The hotel is located right on the St. Charles streetcar line, a few miles out of the French Quarter toward Loyola and Tulane. Out the back door of the hotel is Prytania. The location is perfect. A streetcar ride through the beautiful garden district is all it takes to get to the Quarter. Not going to say much about the hotel - it was nice, clean, friendly, etc. - like all Hampton Inns. Two notable things - as people used to New York City cab rides and their posted rates, we were horrifed to pay $20 + $$$ for our luggage for a 2 mile or so cab ride to the port - as people used to New York City hotel rates for checking your luggage, we were pleasantly surprised that our luggage was checked for no charge!
Positive experience at the Hampton-always!
On the airport van ride thru New Orleans at 11:30 pm on the way to our hotel, my hubby and I heaved a sigh of relief as we listened to Harleys roaring and setting off car alarms(there was a motorcycle rally in town for the weekend). We were so glad that our hotel was away from the City a bit in the Garden District. The Hampton Inn on St Charles was so elegant and accomodating! The streetcar ran right in front of the hotel and it was easy to get a day pass to ride any public transport in the city. Ride the Nanchez Riverboat for a relaxing afternoon and make sure to visit the rotating lounge on top of the World Trade Center!! It was a nice refresher before hitting the Quarter for dinner and partying!
Nice place to stay in the Garden Dist.
Stayed at the Hampton-StCharles Feb7-9, 2003. This was a before cruise hotel for us. We spent Friday and Saturday here before a Sunday departure on the Carnival Conquest. The hotel is clean the staff personable. We enjoyed the complimentry continental breakfast in the mornings. It is very convient with the street car just outside the door. We did not rent a car and found we really didn't need one. The Garden dist is BEAUTIFUL. We would stay here again.
Great Chain Hotel!!
The Hampton Inn Garden District was more than I expected. It blends in well with the surroundings. The rooms are above average! They have a relaxing juice and cheese reception in the afternoon. The staff was excellent. Do NOT stay in the French Quarter, stay HERE. Parking is on site and FREE. The streetcar stops in front of the hotel and can wisk you to the French Quarter. Restaurants such as Commanders Palace, Emeril's Delmonico, Copelands's, etc. are all nearby.

Then got a tram that went the length of Canal Street to the bank of the Mississippi. New Orleans city is in the curve of the river bank, hence its name "The Crescent City". Also called "The Big Easy".

... to see the 10pm show of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band (if you don't line early you don't get in)
WOW!! What an experience. Preservation Hall is a music venue founded in 1961 to "protect, preserve and perpetuate Traditional New Orleans Jazz". While there listening the the Jazz we honestly felt like we had stepped back in time enjoying the tunes and the crowd just as it would have been in 60s.
What a perfect way to spend our first night in New Orleans.

Parks service rejects MP's permit fee claims
The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service has dismissed claims that money raised from vehicle permit fees for the Cooloola Recreation Area is not being used to improve facilities.
The permit fees began about eight months ago but the LNP's Member for Noosa, Glen Elmes, says six promised ranger positions have not been filled and improved services and facilities have not been introduced.
The regional manager of the Great Sandy region, Ross Belcher, says four rangers have been appointed and two more are being recruited.
He says a substantial amount of money has been raised since the fees were introduced.
"I reckon about just over a million dollars but we've spent more than that from the state-based funding for Cooloola," he said.
"That'll go to top up that money but I don't think the money we raise from Cooloola will actually fund everything and pay for everything.
"The state will always be contributing significant funds."

The case sparked a controversial outcry on how far can a business owner, and by extension, a homeowner can go in protecting his property and life. I would advocate pretty far, but in rare cases, there is a limit. This looks like one of them.
An Oklahoma pharmacist was sentenced to life in prison Monday with the possibility of parole for first-degree murder in the shooting death of a teen who tried to rob the south Oklahoma City pharmacy where he worked.

text: marijuana Basalt officials: Pot licenses on Craigslist are bogus By Elise Thatcher • Jun 24, 2015 Screenshot/Mike Scanlon Basalt officials are working with the District Attorney's office regarding a pending marijuana business deal in that town. Officials are trying to figure out what business arrangements may be behind a Craigslist ad that appeared late last month. It was for marijuana "medical and recreational permits and license for sale." Pitkin County urges High Valley Farms to find solution to marijuana odor problem By Marci Krivonen • Jun 10, 2015 Marci Krivonen A Midvalley marijuana grow facility is walking a fine line with Pitkin County. After much discussion, the county commissioners agreed Tuesday to give High Valley Farms more time to tackle its odor problem. Neighbors and business owners in Holland Hills say their quality of life and property values are sliding because of the smell. The 25,000 square foot greenhouse facility grows plants for the retail pot shop Silverpeak in Aspen. Kent Schuler lives in Holland Hills. He says he's had it with what he calls a "stench." More rigorous retail pot education, requirements in Pitkin County slow lane By Elise Thatcher • Jun 1, 2015 Elise Thatcher Attorneys and marijuana advocates gathered in Aspen this weekend. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML, has been meeting in Aspen since the early 90s. Aspen Public Radio's Elise Thatcher has this snapshot of the event. Valley Roundup - May 1st, 2015 By Carolyn Sackariason • May 1, 2015 Welcome to Valley Roundup, a review of the top news stories in the valley in the past week. The smells of legalization permeate up and down the valley, and the odor of marijuana has some people plugging their noses and complaining to city officials. An investigation is brewing around a nonprofit in Glenwood and whether funds were misappropriated. Meanwhile, there's more debate on oil and gas drilling in the valley. Smelling Something in the Alley By Carolyn Sackariason • Apr 28, 2015 Carolyn Sackariason The smells of legalization are emanating across an alley and into the homes of Aspen residents, prompting city officials to take action. Aspen Public Radio's Carolyn Sackariason has the details. The marijuana dermal patch manufacturer Meachum and Company, which produces its product under the trade name, RX Green, was paid a visit by three Aspen city officials last week after neighbors complained of strong pot odors wafting up from its basement shop. Green Dragon Marijuana Shop Could Change Hands By Carolyn Sackariason • Apr 27, 2015 The City of Aspen's local licensing authority will consider its first change of ownership application for a marijuana shop next month. Aspen Public Radio's Carolyn Sackariason reports. A Denver man has applied to the city clerk's office to potentially buy the Green Dragon on the Hyman Avenue Mall. The application says the buyer, Ryan Milligan, plans to invest $7.2 million dollars in the deal. It would be financed by a loan from Andrew Levine, also of Denver. Aspen Police see 23,000 calls for service in 2014: the most in a decade By Marci Krivonen • Apr 16, 2015 aspenpitkin.com Last year the Aspen Police Department saw its highest number of calls for service in a decade.

Aspen Teen Sentenced in Bus Stop Take Down Case By Carolyn Sackariason • Apr 13, 2015 The teenager whose arrest involved a controversial take down by police was sentenced today to a year of supervised probation. The charges of underage possession of marijuana and resisting arrest, which the boy pleaded guilty to last month, will be dismissed if the Aspen High School junior stays clean and out of trouble for a year. Several conditions were attached to the sentencing, including routine testing for alcohol and marijuana, writing a letter of apology to the police officer who arrested him, attending school and possibly counseling. Valley Roundup - April 3rd, 2015 By Carolyn Sackariason • Apr 3, 2015 Welcome to Valley Roundup, a review of the top news stories in the valley in the past week. It looks like CDOT has set a date for the new bridge in Glenwood Springs. Construction season has already begun in Aspen and it isn't going to let up anytime soon. And neither will the endless effort to preserve our water in the valley and around the state. Meanwhile, property values are on the rise in the mid-valley. What should be done about the marijuana odor emanating from a grow operation in the Holland Hills area? Aspen teen in forceful arrest pleads guilty to charges By Carolyn Sackariason • Mar 3, 2015 YouTube/Lauren Glendenning The attorney who represents the teenager who was taken down forcefully in Aspen last month believes the police officer did not have probable cause to arrest him. Aspen Public Radio's Carolyn Sackariason reports. Instead of fighting the charges of underage marijuana possession and resisting arrest on the argument that Aspen Police officer Adam Loudon didn't have probable cause to handcuff the high school student, he pleaded guilty on Monday.
