Coyote Buttes - The Wave The Wave is located in the Coyote Buttes North area of the Arizona Strip. There are two great photographic locations in Coyote Buttes North (The Wave and The Second Wave) and numerous minor ones including Top Rock Arch, Melody Arch and the Grotto, the Hooters, The Alcove, Sand Cove, and Fatali's Boneyard. The Wave is best photographed midday so as to minimize the extensive shadows, the other areas listed above are best photographed mid-late afternoon.
The South Buttes also has many good features and is well worth visiting, as is the White Pocket and Edmaier's Secret. It can be difficult to get a permit to see the Wave. During the best months (April, May, September, October) there can be over 150 people applying for the ten daily permits. In the other months you usually have less than a 50% chance of getting one at the daily lottery. Your chances are better if you're going alone, or in December - February. If you do not win the lottery I suggest you get one for Coyote Buttes South, or go to the White Pocket which is east of Coyote Buttes South. I know of one person who was lost overnight in Coyote Buttes South, so use a GPS, mark the trailhead, and stay with your party. While a two wheel drive vehicle is adequate for the North Buttes, four wheel drive is required for the South due to deep sand. See the Information link above for more details about Coyote Buttes and the Wave.

June 27, 2015 - Point Hansbrough and the East Rim
I've added some photos of Point Hansbrough and a nice bend in Colorado River taken from just south of Tatahatso Point. Tatahatso Point is part of the Navajo Nation and is on the East Rim of the Grand Canyon. I've also added some new photos of The Confluence showing the turquoise Little Colorado mixing with the brown Colorado rivers. The map of the confluence area has been expanded to show access routes to the East Rim, a good overlook of the Little Colorado, and the Hopi Salt Trail. The Hopi Salt Trail can be used to access the Little Colorado from the rim.
With the Arizona Monsoon Season coming and its associated dramatic weather now is a good time to start planning a trip to The Confluence and the East Rim.
June 23, 2015 - An arch collapse, and a "new" arch
Some time ago Randy Langstraat emailed me that High Heel Arch partially collapsed. His report on the collapse and some very good photos appear on his blog here. I recently visited High Heel, the arch is significantly more photogenic now than it was before.
I also visited the close-by little known Moby Dick Arch. Despite the fact that it has an estimated forty foot span the arch does not seem to appear in any arch catalogs or on the web. For now I'll credit Victor of the excellent Rocking V Cafe in Kanab with its "discovery" and have accepted his name.
Locations of both arches appear on my Coyote Buttes North maps page, and a few images are in this gallery. Both arches are just outside the Coyote Buttes North permit area and can be visited anytime.
June 3, 2015 - Escalade Project Stalls
I received this paraphrased email from the Grand Canyon Trust recently:
On May 12, new Navajo President Russell Begaye took office. The next day he issued a firm statement against Escalade. Begaye's vice president, Jonathan Nez, added "any attempts to pass legislation to proceed with the development would be vetoed by the president."
Save the Confluence family members expressed relief and thanked the new leaders for ending their "nightmare" under the Ben Shelly administration: "We believe 'the two mighty' rivers, the Colorado and the Little Colorado, have spoken." They concluded that "while the president's stance is being recognized as good and welcome news, we will remain cautious of the Navajo Nation Council."
April 23, 2015 - Eggshell Arch
Amazing Eggshell Arch is, in my opinion, the most beautiful arch in Arizona. It is nearly as spectacular as the better known spans of Delicate Arch, Mesa Arch, and Rainbow Bridge. Eggshell arch lies in the Inscription House chapter of the Navajo Nation and is on private land. If you wish to visit the arch you must get the permission of a local leaseholder, as I did. Navajo Parks and Recreation permits are not available for this area.
The arch is best photographed at sunset. From late November through January it is bathed in a red glow similar to the glow Mesa Arch gets at sunrise. I have heard Eggshell arch referred to as Thanksgiving Arch as Thanksgiving is a very good time to photograph it.
I've added a gallery of images of the arch here. I have not included a map showing the route to Eggshell. Visiting Eggshell without permission may subject you to legal or other action. It is also dangerous due to the confusing array of very rough sandstone / dirt roads in the area, and due to the presence of mountain lions.
April 16, 2015 - Alabama Hills Gallery added
The Alabama Hills is a land of potato shaped boulders and myriad arches near Lone Pine, California. Over 400 movies and TV shows have been shot in the Alabama Hills. Mount Whitney is just to the west of the Alabama Hills and towers almost 10,000 feet above them. Many of the Alabama Hills arches frame Mount Whitney and Lone Pine Peak, also to the west. If you're planning a trip to Death Valley or the Eastern Sierras you should include the Alabama Hills in your itinerary.
I've added a gallery of images of the Alabama Hills here and a map here.
If you're in the Death Valley area you should also visit the Rhyolite ghost town. I've updated my Rhyolite gallery with many new images and the maps page has some new shooting suggestions.
April 2, 2015 - Top Rock!
If you're planning a second trip to The Wave, or are a strong hiker with good navigation skills able to do nine or more offtrail miles in a single day, you should think about visiting Top Rock. Top Rock is the area above the cliffs just east of The Wave. It has many unique features including four beautiful arches and an alcove whose walls are decorated with spectacular colors and patterns. Hiking up Top Rock is easier than it looks. Top Rock can be climbed via an easy scramble up the ramp near The Second Wave (0.3 miles one-way) or you can hike up from its east side (1.2 miles from The Wave). My actual tracks for both are available on the maps page here.
Top Rock is best visited mid afternoon to sunset. Visit Melody Arch first, then Hourglass Arch, and finish with Top Rock Arch and The Alcove. You might want to leave Top Rock about two hours before sunset, giving you time to shoot The Second Wave in best light. For the best images of Top Rock Arch and The Alcove you'll need to stay until the sun sets below the cliffs to the west. If you stay this late you'll need to hike out in the dark.
I've updated my Coyote Buttes gallery and maps pages to include more information about Top Rock including new images of Hourglass Arch, Melody Arch, and The Alcove. I've also added several new images and GPS coordinates of lace rock on the west side.
March 13, 2015 - Grand Falls
Grand Falls, part of the Little Colorado River, is a unique waterfall in that, when running, it is more a river of mud than one of water. Grand Falls is also known as Chocolate Falls or Muddy Falls. It is best shot in the late afternoon during the few days each year when it flows. Grand Falls typically flows during snow-melt season in late March / early April, or a few days after a heavy rain. It is dry and uninteresting most of the year. Your best of getting a good image of the falls is to go 2 - 3 days after the USGS flow gauge on the Little Colorado River in Winslow registers a flow exceeding 400 cubic feet per second. Winslow flow can be tracked here or you can register for an email or text alert here. I've added a gallery of Grand Falls images here, and travel directions and more detailed flow statistics here.
March 13, 2015 - US 89 scheduled to reopen on March 27. Update - now open!
This from the Arizona Dept of Transportation - "Two years after a landslide ripped apart a 500-foot section of US 89 and split the communities of Bitter Springs and Page, the Arizona Department of Transportation anticipates reopening the highway to traffic on the afternoon of Friday, March 27, barring any potential weather delays or mechanical breakdowns during the paving process, which began today."
February 17, 2015 - Converting GPS tracks to Google Earth Pro Videos
Google Earth Pro licenses, formerly $395 per annum, are now free. Google Earth Pro can be freely downloaded here. During installation you will be asked for a username and license key. Use your email address and the key GEPFREE to sign in. One of the features in Google Earth Pro that was not in Google Earth is the ability to make aerial movies from folders and tracks. I've created medium (864x480) and high resolution (1080p 30fps) videos showing the hike from the Wirepass trailhead to The Wave so that hikers can get some idea of the terrain they will be traversing. The medium resolution version is on the maps page and the high resolution version can be downloaded by right clicking here. I've also added a tutorial showing how to create a smooth video from any GPS track.
January 26, 2015 - Wupatki National Monument
Wupatki National Monument contains a number of 800-1000 year old ruins. The ruins photograph well and Wupatki gets good light year round making it an excellent destination for photographers. Wupatki is a better sunrise than sunset destination, especially in the winter months when the red rock of the ruins contrasts well with the snow on Mount Humphreys. I've added a gallery of Wupatki images here, and a map showing the locations of the six ruins open to the public here.
January 25, 2015 - The Hopi Clown / Tohachi Wash
The Hopi Clown is a rarely photographed rock formation in Tohachi Wash, about 20 miles northeast of Wupatki National Monument. Tohachi Wash is in the southern section of the Adeii Eichii Cliffs, an area also known as Red Rock Cliffs. A Navajo Nation permit is required to visit the Hopi Clown
The Red Rock Cliffs area is very remote and there are no named roads within fifteen miles of it. To get there you'll needs a high clearance 4WD vehicle. I suggest you go in with more than one vehicle and do not drive in or leave at night. I've added the Hopi Clown to my gallery of Adeii Eichii images here, and travel directions to my Adeii Eichii map here. As far as I know this website is the first English language site with travel directions to the clown.
When in the vicinity of the Hopi Clown you should also explore/shoot the cliffs and formations surrounding Tohachi Wash. You could also shoot either Wupatki NM or Grand Falls depending on how you come in.
Many thanks again to my Belgian friend Rudi who provided me with GPS coordinates. I would never have found it without his help.
Update - I recently received an email which indicated that a gate on the road to Tohachi Wash will be locked going forward, and that the local leaseholder will post no trespassing signs shortly. For now the Hopi Clown is off limits.
December 30, 2014 - White Sands NM
White Sands National Monument contains the largest gypsum dune field in the world - 275 square miles. It is located in southcentral New Mexico and is less than two hours from El Paso, Texas by car. White Sands gets nearly 600,000 visitors every year and is very popular in the spring and summer months. Unlike the other major US sand dune fields ( Great Sand Dunes National Park and Death Valley NP), the sand in White Sands is perfectly white and very fine grained. Vegetation (grasses, yuccas, and occasional Cottonwoods) is common throughout much of the park and adds considerably to White Sands photographic appeal. I recently spent several days in the park photographing the cottonwood trees and yuccas and came away with many good images. I've added a gallery of images to this site here, and a map and some tips on photographing the park here.
November 21, 2014 - Lake Powell
With over two million visitors a year, it's hard to call Lake Powell a secret. However despite its dazzling beauty few professional photographers go out on the lake and shoot it. Gary Ladd, a resident of Page since 1981 and a well known Arizona Highways photographer, is one of those who regularly do so. When I found out he was leading a week tour of the lake this past October I booked it immediately. Despite imperfect weather I got some magnificent photos and had a great time during the week I spent on the lake.
The Lake offers almost everything a desert
October 29, 2014 - Horizon Arch
Horizon Arch is a photogenic arch close to the town of Escalante, Utah. The arch is also known as Kissing Dragons Arch. Visiting the arch requires a five-seven mile off-trail hike where the mileage depends on whether your vehicle can reach the closer trailhead. Good navigation and route finding skills are needed. I've added a gallery of images here, and maps and directions to the arch here. The arch is best shot at sunset and is worth visiting if you are in the Escalante area.
Many thanks to Michael Haudek who provided me with excellent directions to the arch. His website contains directions in German and some good photos of the area.
October 16, 2014 - Sunset and Moonrise Arches
October is perhaps the best month in which to visit the Southwest; temperatures are pleasant, and the aspen and cottonwoods are changing. I spent a few days in Escalante the first week of October revisiting Dance Hall Rock, and shooting Sunset and Moonrise arches. It was too early in October for the cottonwoods on Dance Hall Rock to change color but I did get a few good images. Sunset and Moonrise arches are only a few miles from Dance Hall Rock. The iconic shot of Sunset Arch frames Navajo Mountain, shooting the arch from the other side yields a nice sunburst. Moonrise arch frames the full moon at sunset. I was there a few days before the full moon but still got a reasonable image. I've added directions to both arches here, and some images here. Finally I revisited Balancing Rock near Boulder. I shot this last year mid day, sunset yields much better color. The shadow of the hoodoo was not optimal in early October, spring or summer would be better.
September 27, 2014 - Major Maps Upgrade
Google recently introduced a new version of Google Maps, called My Maps. The old version of Google Maps ("Classic") is being discontinued. My Maps offers several advantages over "Classic" Maps including layers and improved stability. In view of this change all of the maps on this site have been migrated to "My Maps'. Other enhancements to this site include:
September 4, 2014 - The Magnificent Confluence
Just outside Grand Canyon National Park there is a largely unknown overlook of the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers. The view of The Confluence is as good as any in Grand Canyon National Park proper with one key difference, you will probably have the overlook all to yourself. You can camp right at the overlook on the rim of the Grand Canyon with the Colorado river visible 3,500 feet below. The viewpoint lies in the Navajo Nation and a $12 permit is needed to visit it. The viewpoint is the future site of the controversial "Escalade" project should it be approved and make its way through the courts, so I suggest you visit it now before construction begins.
I've added many images taken from the overlook here, and a map and directions here. A 4x4 and good navigation skills are needed to traverse the thirty offroad miles to the overlook. No hiking required.
Highly recommended, see it now!
August 18, 2014 - Two arches that don't get their due
I recently visited two spectacular arches in the Hanksville area that are rarely photographed despite their beauty. Both are moderately difficult to get to. The first is Arsenic Arch located about twenty miles south of Hanksville. It's best at sunset and can be combined with a trip to Little Egypt which is nearby and great at sunrise. The drive to Arsenic is easy but the hike, while not difficult, is off trail and requires good navigation skills. I've added a map with good directions to the arch. You'll probably have the arch to yourself, and the hike is fun. A small camping area with room for two cars is close by, again you'd probably have this to yourself.
The second arch is Colonnade Arch located in an alcove west of the Maze district of Canyonlands NP. The arch is also known as Five Hole Arch since it has three outward facing openings, and two openings in its roof. The arch overlooks the Green River and Canyonlands NP can be seen to its east. The arch is best at sunrise when it gets good reflected light and capturing a sunburst is possible for most of the year. It is fairly difficult to get to this arch as it is forty miles over a good dirt road from the nearest highway. A one mile off trail hike over varied terrain is also required. Getting to the arch for sunrise would be difficult unless you camp at the trailhead and scout out the hike the prior evening, or camp near the arch. Please do not camp in the arch!
July 20, 2014 - Bisti Badlands Update
I've added many new images from a recent trip to The Bisti Badlands. Most of the images are from the northern section of the Bisti. This area includes The Bisti Wings which is perhaps the most photogenic area in the Bisti. The Wings are well photographed at sunrise, sunset, the blue hour, or during the night. Shoot either from overlooks to their east, or up close with a wide angle lens. At night The Wings provide good foreground for The Milky Way to the east, and can also be used as foreground for star trails. Normal access is via a two mile one way hike starting at the main Bisti parking lot, however shorter and easier access is possible from the Bisti north parking area. I've updated the Bisti map to show my GPS tracks from both parking areas.
July 19, 2014 - Coal Mine Canyon, Navajo Nation Permit Changes
I've added a gallery of images from Coal Mine Canyon, a scenic area near Tuba City in Arizona. Coal Mine Canyon is a good summer destination since hiking is minimal and it is at 5,800 feet. I've also added a map with directions on how to get there. A Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation permit is needed to visit the rim of Coal Mine Canyon, see the maps page for information on how to obtain one. The Navajo Nation recently increased hiking fees substantially, from $5 pp per day, to $12 pp per day. The permit is valid for a full 24 hours from first use, so backpacking and camping are now included in the fee.
Finally, access to White Mesa Arch is no longer allowed and Navajo permits for this area will no longer be issued. White Mesa Arch is part of the Kaibeto Chapter community which prohibits hiking and camping throughout the entire area under its jurisdiction.
May 13, 2014 - Update on rescued California hiker
Richard Ong, the 62 year old hiker recently rescued near The Wave, is recovering from his injuries. Richard was discovered near the Notch trail, an alternative route to The Wave. Since Richard's car was parked at the Wirepass Trailhead which is over a mile from the Notch trailhead it is possible he made a wrong turn on his way back to his car. More information and some good tips on safety can be found in this article from the St George News.
May 6, 2014 - California hiker rescued near The Wave
A 62 year old man was rescued on Sunday after falling from a cliff south of The Wave. The victim had a permit to visit the area on Friday. On Saturday a BLM ranger noticed his car still at the trailhead and contacted his wife who said she hadn't heard from him. At dawn on Sunday searchers combed the area on foot and horse back. The victim was found by a searcher approaching The Wave from the south. The man suffers from diabetes and is in intensive care in an area hospital. More information is available in this Salt Lake Tribune article.
May 1, 2014 - Many new photos and some timelapses added
I've updated several of the galleries on the site. New images taken at Coyote Buttes North, the White Pocket, Studhorse Point, Rhyolite, and Horseshoe Bend were added. The Coyote Buttes North area includes new images of The Wave and several images taken atop the cliffs in the upper west part of the CBN permit area. This area is rarely visited and contains a great deal of Lace Rock. The fins on lace rock are typically less than 1 cm thick and break very easily, please tread carefully.
Startrails taken at the Boneyard, Sand Hills, the Lace Rock area, Studhorse Point, and Rhyolite were added as were timelapse videos made at The White Pocket, Rhyolite, and Studhorse Point. Timelapses were generated using the excellent program LRTimelapse.
Finally I've updated the Coyote Buttes North map section to include GPS tracks from some recent visits, and to include the location of the beautiful Hourglass Arch on Top Rock.
January 15, 2014 - Adeii Eichii Cliffs, Arizona
I've added a gallery of images taken at the Adeii Eichii Cliffs. This area, just east of Cameron, Arizona, is rarely visited. It is part of the Navajo Nation and an easily acquired permit is needed to visit it. The region has many red and white striped hoodoos and the rock formations remind me of those in Blue Canyon. The Adeii Eichii Cliffs are virtually unknown to photographers in the US. There is some information on EU websites in the Dutch, German and French languages. My thanks go to my Belgian friend Rudi for drawing my attention to the area, and for translating some of the material available overseas.
The Adeii Eichii Cliffs are quite difficult to find and there has been some trouble with local homeowners in the past so I suggest you read the information on the maps page carefully before planning a trip there.
January 7, 2014 - The Walk in Lottery
I recently received one year of data from the BLM showing the number of people applying at the walk in lottery in Kanab. The Permit Information page on this site contains the data and an analysis of the best/worst times to apply. Here is a brief summary showing the number of walk in applicants by month:
As can be seen, if you apply in January you have an excellent chance of getting a permit.
If you've been frustrated by the permit process you should visit the link above. The data should help you maximize or at least understand your chances of getting a permit.
December 14, 2013 - Sedona, Arizona
I've added a small gallery of images from Sedona, my home town. Sedona's many houses often work their way into your pictures, but good images can be had if you know where to go. GPS coordinates are included for most of the pictures in the gallery. Click on the camera icon below the image to get the latitude / longitude, or the marker icon to see where the image was shot on a map. The icons are circled below. The date and time the image was taken is also available, note that times are given in the Greenwich (UTC/GMT) time zone. Arizona times are always seven hours earlier than GMT times, i.e. noon GMT is 5 AM in Arizona.
December 4, 2013 - The hoodoo in Boulder, Utah
If you've driven Highway 12 from Bryce or Escalante to Capitol Reef you may have noticed a small hoodoo about one mile west of the ranching town of Boulder. Or you may have seen it on page 121 of Laurent Martres excellent book "Photographing the Southwest Volume 1 - Utah". This hoodoo is named "Balancing Rock", and it appears on the Boulder Town USGS 24K topo map. I finally got a chance to visit the hoodoo recently. I have posted a few images and directions on this site. I visited "Balancing Rock" at noon, hardly the best time to photograph it. Photos would be much better at sunset, or even at night if you're willing to hike down the steep terrain in the dark. This hoodoo is spectacular and well worth a visit if you're in the Boulder area.
November 27, 2013 - Sharing Photos and Information about The Wave
I've created a community on Google+ called The Wave. This community is for sharing images and information about The Wave and surrounding area. Posts might include trip reports or information on road conditions, trail conditions, safety, whether water or snow was present, and how many people were at the walk-in lottery, for example. If you haven't already done so I suggest you join Google+. This can be done at http://www.plus.google.com. After you have done so please join the public community The Wave. Once you have a Google+ account you can join a community by following the instructions here. Before posting to The Wave please read the rules on the right side of the communities home page.
Please join the community and post your images. I'd love to see them.
You can also follow my personal posts by clicking on the button on the right side of the menu above.
November 25, 2013 - Coyote Buttes South Update
I recently visited this area and had breathtaking conditions right at sunset. I've never seen the Control Tower in better light. The Control Tower is also a good destination for star trails photography as the best view is towards the north, and the hoodoo is relatively close to the Cottonwood Cove parking area. I have added and reprocessed many of the images in the Coyote Buttes South Gallery. The Coyote Buttes South map has undergone a major revision and now supports layers. This new feature makes it easy to view only the areas and roads of interest on the map.
November 14, 2013 - Dance Hall Rock
Dance Hall Rock is a superb destination in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Little hiking is needed to get some great photos in the summer when dramatic skies are present, and in October when the cottonwoods change color. I've added a gallery here, and maps and some tips on photographing the area here.
November 11, 2013 - The Page Balloon Regatta
October 22, 2013 - Tukuhnikivatz Arch
Tukuhnikivatz Arch is a great sunset location about ten miles south of Moab. I've added a few images of the arch and travel directions to the Canyonlands gallery on the site. Try shooting the arch from a variety of angles for some new perspectives.
October 20, 2013 - Collet Top Arch
I've added a small gallery of images and map of Collet Top Arch, a rarely visited arch in the Grand Staircase Escalante NM. There is a very well preserved ancestral pueblo granary just below the arch.
October 16, 2013 - Twentymile Wash Dinosaur Tracksite
If you are in the Bryce area and looking for something a little different you might try the Twentymile Wash Tracksite. This site contains over 1,000 tracks in a beautiful environment of Entrada sandstone. I suggest you visit the tracksite in mid afternoon, and then go to nearby Devil's Garden to shoot sunset. I've added a small gallery of images from the tracksite here, and travel directions here.
October 9, 2013 - Wave fines
Apparently the Coyote Buttes law enforcement ranger has been very active in giving out fines. Here's some information posted on backcountrypost.com:
I talked to someone at Paria Outfitters about how heavily patrolled House Rock Valley Road is. They said that the ranger who checks permits was not furloughed and that he is catching people poaching the Wave. One of them received a $1200 fine.
Apparently $1,200 is the standard fine. Forewarned is forearmed.
Thanks Bill for the updated information.
October 6, 2013 - Shutdown Update
Here's a paraphrased update I received from Lance.
"We hiked The Wave on Oct. 4, 2013. We had four permits from the web lottery run four months prior to hike. We met a ranger when we arrived at the parking lot, who said because those permits were issued prior to shutdown, they are valid and hiking The Wave is allowed with them. He said self-service day use areas are officially closed as are all other hikes where permits are to be picked up at the office. He drove off as we were heading down the wash, and obviously wasn't there the rest of the day, as within a few hours we saw at least 30 people hiking the same trail, and the parking lot was overflowing when we returned. The ranger also mentioned the significant fines for hiking without a permit."
This confirms what I indicated earlier - Coyote Buttes North and South are open if you already have a permit. Note also that since day use of Wire Pass and Buckskin Gulch require a fee to be paid at the trailhead they are closed.
Thank you very much Lance.
October 4, 2013 - Sand Hills Revisited
I've updated the Sand Hill section of the site with two new locations. The first is an overlook of Wrather Arch, considered the least accessible of the major US arches. The second is Soap Creek Tanks. This is an area of multicolored brain rock near the SE corner of Vermilion Cliffs. Soap Creek Tanks is full of spotted rocks, I have never similar rocks elsewhere. I've also added topo maps covering Sand Hills and Vermilion Cliffs in Geotiff, KMZ overlay, and Oruxmap formats.
October 3, 2013 - The Government Shutdown
I have contacted several sources in Kanab and have received conflicting information about whether existing permits for Coyote Buttes are valid. My best information, coming from the Kane County Visitor Center, is that if you have a permit it is valid. Lottery permits and walk-in permits are not being issued at this time.
I have heard indirectly from a local guide that there were 50 people at The Wave yesterday. Going to The Wave without a permit is illegal. Law enforcement is one of the areas that the BLM and NPS have not completely shut down, and fines for entering Coyote Buttes without a permit are substantial.
If anyone has further information about whether the area is closed, or can provide information about visitation or conditions at The Wave, please email me and I will update this post. I would especially like to hear from someone in the BLM with definitive information.
September 9, 2013 - The Great Wall
I've added some images of The Great Wall, a good sunset location near the rim of Waterholes Canyon, just outside Page. A $5 permit, obtainable from Navajo Parks and Recreation, is needed to visit the area. More information on permits can be found here.
August 31, 2013 - White Pocket Screensaver added
I've added a downloadable screensaver / desktop wallpaper to the site. The wallpaper consists of 18 of my favorite White Pocket images. The images were resized and cropped to fit most common screen sizes. The images and installation instructions can be found here. A screensaver for Coyote Buttes North images will be forthcoming shortly.
August 28, 2013 - US89T set to open tomorrow, with restrictions
Drivers headed to Page and the Lake Powell area this Labor Day weekend will have a shorter option when the Arizona Department of Transportation opens the newly paved Temporary US 89 route (US 89T) on Thursday, August 29, albeit with some restrictions. While the 27-mile paving operations have been completed, US 89T remains an active construction zone as crews continue to install right-of-way fencing along the corridor, which has a large amount of livestock. Until fencing is complete, US 89T will be open during daylight hours only (except for local residents) and there will be a 25 mph speed limit in place. When construction is complete, the speed limit will be raised and nighttime restrictions will be lifted. More information about this new route to Page can be found on the Arizona Dept. Of Transportation website.
August 26, 2013 - The Classic Wave
An estimated 50% of visitors to Coyote Buttes North never explore much beyond The Wave. This is especially true in the summer and winter when extreme temperatures, lightning, or snow cover tend to keep visits short. In view of this I've added some thoughts on how to shoot The Wave itself. A gallery showing what I believe to be the classic images of The Wave is here, and below is a map of The Wave showing where these were taken. Click on any image in the map to zoom in.
The Wave opens up in three directions, to the north (the direction you came in on), to the east, and to the southwest. Each of these openings has a good photo associated with it as can be seen on the map above.
All of the above photos can be shot at night as well. Shoot startrails following the blue and red arrows, or the Milky Way following the green arrow on a moonless night. I have not yet shot the slot canyon at night but believe it would work well also.
Permits to The Wave are so hard to get that I'd suggest you shoot all of the above on your first trip. They can all be shot early morning to noon. In addition to these images there are many other possibilities, see my main Wave gallery for some ideas.
August 3, 2013 - Poll on safety added
The BLM is currently considering additional measures to improve safety at The Wave. I've added a poll on the right showing some of the actions they might take. To vote in the poll please select one choice from the list of options. Each option has its pluses and minuses such as cost or difficulty to implement, effect on visitors or the environment, and whether the "wilderness experience" is preserved. If you "mouse-over" each option in the poll you'll get additional information about that option.
Please take the time to vote in the poll. If there are other options I have missed please add them in the comments section of the poll here.
The last poll is still available via the Polls tab above, or by clicking here. Based on that poll of 600 people who have been to The Wave about 40% visited The Second Wave, and about 20% visited other areas such as Top Rock, Melody Arch, Sand Cove, etc. Over 90% of the people who visited Top Rock found Melody Arch or The Alcove.
July 23, 2013 - Another fatality at The Wave
In yet another tragedy Elisabeth Ann Bervel died on her way back from the Wave on Monday July 22nd. She was hiking with her husband and collapsed shortly before 2 PM, probably due to heat exhaustion. Elisabeth is the mother of two and was 27 years old. The couple was hiking on their fifth wedding anniversary.
This is the third fatality this month at The Wave. As a result, the BLM is currently considering adding additional signs marking the way to The Wave, and making changes to the permit process so that people do not feel compelled to hike in on questionable days.

July 14, 2013 - White Pocket redux
Once again it's the time of the year to visit the White Pocket. It rained heavily on July 2nd and there was water everywhere. This led to some great photo ops, and some loud toad croaking. I've updated my gallery with many new images and included a new area that I hadn't visited before. The far north end of the White Pocket has a great many moqui marbles resting on coral colored polygonal cracks. This area is the best I've seen for photographing moqui marbles. It is illegal to remove the marbles. I've also added some images of The Milky Way and of some nearby petroglyphs. Water dries quickly in 100°F plus weather but I would expect there to be water in the deeper pools throughout the summer.
July 7, 2013 - Two hikers succumb to heat at The Wave
In another terrible tragedy Ulrich and Patricia Wahli apparently succumbed to temperatures that reached 106 degrees on Wednesday July 3rd. They had walk-in permits for The Wave and were found by other hikers early on July 4th. Cause of death is not fully known but is believed to be heat related.
Safety - If you must go into The Wave at this time of year go in early. Leave your car no later than sunrise and preferably a bit earlier. You should be out of the area by 11 AM at the latest. On July 3rd it was still over 100 degrees at 7 PM. Going in late is not a good option. You'll also need more than the normal recommendation of four quarts of water, up to nine! may be needed. Electrolyte drinks are preferable to water. Avoid caffeine. There is no shelter on the way to/from The Wave, you may want to bring a Mylar space blanket to create a temporary one, reflective side up. A PLB or satellite phone may also help but remember, emergency help is at least 1-2 hours away and you can die of heat stroke very quickly after symptoms are recognized.
July 1, 2013 - Depth of Field
I've added a long article on Depth of Field together with some good techniques for controlling it to the Techniques Section of the site. I've also added a new Tools Section to the site. The first tools added are a standard DOF Calculator and a Blur Calculator. The Blur Calculator shows, in number of pixels, how blur increases as you move away from the plane of sharp focus. Both tools are web based but can be installed on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone for use in the field.

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour was supposed to run the Riverhead 200 back in July, but a flooded infield and pit area kept that from happening. After a massive storm rolled through eastern Long Island in the morning flooding the race track, NASCAR was forced to postpone the race to September 15th.
Today the weather was perfect on Long Island. It was warm throughout the day, but cooled down quite a bit when the sun went down. There was no rain anywhere near Riverhead Raceway this time.
Qualifying took place at 5 p.m. and it was Ryan Preece who won the pole. Preece is familiar with victory lane at Riverhead. He won two features in the weekly modified division this season, and he won the Riverhead 200 tour event in 2009.
The race went green shortly after 8 p.m. and Preece jumped out to the lead over Eric Goodale. Preece led the first 77 laps until Goodale was able to get by on lap 78. Goodale drove into turn one high, cut the car to the bottom in the center of one and two and drove right under Preece off of turn two. He was able to clear Preece exiting turn four that same lap.
Ted Christopher started in 12th, but was caught up in an accident on lap 11 when the right-front tire came off the wheel in turn four. "TC" had to pit and lost two laps in the process.
Goodale held the lead for 35 laps while battling lapped traffic before Preece got back by him on lap 113. Preece pulled the same move on Goodale that got Goodale the lead, but pushed Goodale up the track in turn three and the two made contact. Goodale got sideways but was able to save it. However, he dropped from the lead to sixth within one lap. He dropped back to as far as 10th, but made his way back up to 7th where he finished.
Preece led the remaining 91 laps, but his road to the win wasn't as easy as it sounds. Preece was under fire from Todd Szegedy, Justin Bonsignore, and Jimmy Blewett before the checkered flag fell on lap 203 after a green-white-checkered finish.
Szegedy put up a fight for a few laps before he was passed by Bonsignore for second around lap 165.
Bonsignore chased down Preece a few laps after a restart on lap 174. He gave Preece a few shots in the rear and looked like he had that faster car, but another caution came out. Bonsignore had to restart on the outside, and spun the tires which allowed Preece to get away. Bonsignore dropped from second to fourth. Szegedy and Blewett both got by Bonsignore.
Blewett was able to get to second before the final caution came out on lap 196. The caution set up a green-white-checkered restart on lap 201 with Preece on the inside and Blewett on the outside. Blewett got a great restart and was able to get by Preece and take the checkered flag in first. However, Blewett actually got too good of a restart. He beat Preece to the start/finish line by the length of a bumper. Blewett was penalized and was dropped from the win to last car on the lead lap with a 12th place finish.
Bonsignore finished second, Szegedy finished third, Howie Brode finished fourth, and Christopher who got the free pass twice made his way to fifth.
Preece led a total of 168 laps out of the 201 laps run.
There were two leaders (Preece, Goodale) and three lead changes.
Seven cautions for 45 laps.
Race was supposed to be 175 laps with a 25-lap qualifying race, but the qualifying race was cancelled for those laps were added to the feature.

Property tax caps top Statehouse agenda
INDIANAPOLIS - As Indiana lawmakers prepare for the Jan. 5 start of the 2010 legislative session, the Courier & Press is reviewing issues expected to dominate debate in the General Assembly. Previous stories have looked at ethics reform and redistricting. Future topics include government reform for the Dec. 27 edition and the politics of the Legislature on Jan. 3.
One of the first major votes Indiana lawmakers will cast after the General Assembly reconvenes Jan. 5 will be whether to write property tax caps into Indiana's constitution.
Since the constitutional amendment already has passed committees in both the House and the Senate, legislators could begin debate and even vote in January.
If, as expected, it passes both the Republican-led Senate and the Democratic-controlled House, Hoosier voters will have the final say in a November 2010 statewide referendum.
The amendment has sparked vigorous debate between firefighters, educators and local government officials who rely on property taxes, at least in part, to fund their work, and home-owners who have traveled to the Statehouse to lobby for permanent relief.
The caps limit property taxes to no more than 1 percent of the assessed value of homes, 2 percent for farms and rental property and 3 percent for businesses.
County hiring freeze
The tax caps have forced Vanderburgh County government to freeze hiring and decline to replace those who have left their jobs recently. Steve Melcher, vice president of the Vanderburgh County Commissioners, said county officials are brainstorming ways to save money.
He says the economic downturn has left county governments strapped for cash, and now is not the time to make the tax caps permanent.
"With the way this economy is going down, the Legislature should wait to see how this plays out," he said.
They've also put the pinch on school districts, which rely on property tax money to fund items such as transportation and construction.
Dan Clark, deputy director of the Indiana State Teachers Association, said that while caps have not cost schools yet, they eventually will lose $100 million in transportation and construction funds.
School operating costs
As the teachers association encourages the General Assembly to allow schools to tap as much as 5 percent of those funds, rather than the current limit of 3.5 percent, to pay for general operating costs, the caps could cause some pain.
"They're clearly not a good thing," Clark said.
However, homeowners who have faced soaring property tax rates in recent years say they've been pushed to the brink. They say the caps are necessary because they simply can't pay any more.
Effect on homeowners
Charlene Williamson, who has lived in Downtown Evansville for seven years, said she pays much less for her house here than she did for the Chicago condominium where she lived previously.
Still, she's seen her property taxes almost triple, to $1,660 last year, since she purchased her home on Southeast First Street.
And because the house is in the city's historical district, Williamson also must abide by certain standards of authenticity when making improvements or restorations.
"It's affects me a lot," she said. "With property taxes continuing to go up, that means less money for improvements."
Williamson's home was built in 1865, and because of the size and age of the home, she said it needs constant upkeep. It's a trend she's seen with many of the homes in the area, she added.
"(Higher taxes) have caused me to cut back on the inside of the home," she said. "And if you don't keep up with the interior, the exterior of the house is likely to go, too."
When Bob Marx purchased his home on Eichel Avenue 18 years ago, he paid $19,000 for it. Now, he pays more than $1,100 in property taxes.
Marx is out of work and receives disability benefits. With a fixed income, it's almost impossible for him to afford the home repairs he'd like to make.
"I was just telling someone the other day that I can't remember the last time I bought something new for the house," he said. "The oven and refrigerator have never been replaced and are still working fine, knock on wood."
Doralee Turpin has lived atop Reitz Hill for more than 40 years. She and her husband are retired and live on a fixed income.
In the past, the couple have taken two or three "big vacations" together every year.
Since the economic downturn, their property tax bills have nearly doubled, to about $1,140 last year, and have forced them to alter their spending habits.
"We've adapted to it and tried not to make any big purchases that we didn't have to," she said.
Business taxes
The General Assembly earlier this year passed legislation aimed at bolstering Indiana's bankrupt unemployment insurance fund and helping repay a debt to the federal government that is expected to be near $1.5 billion by the end of this year, in part by raising payroll tax rates.
However, Senate President Pro Tem David Long, R-Fort Wayne, and other Republicans have argued that the economic downturn is longer and deeper than many realized.
Therefore, he said, lawmakers should push back those higher tax rates by at least one year.
The Indiana Chamber of Commerce is backing the Senate Republican plan. Chamber officials say that with 40 states facing similar struggles, Congress might have to act, and Indiana shouldn't raise its tax rates until the picture becomes clearer.
The new rates take effect Jan. 1, but since businesses won't have to pay until after the end of the first fiscal quarter, Long said, there is time for legislators to act during the coming session.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 12/28/12
Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com reports that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have created an extra $18 million in cap space for 2013 by restructuring the contracts of WR Vincent Jackson and G Carl Nicks. The Bucs basically gave them extra roster bonuses this year, which shifted the guaranteed money that both players had coming to them next season to their 2012 cap. Jackson had $13 million in base salary coming his way next season, but Tampa Bay took $12.16 million of that number and converted it into a 2012 roster bonus that will be paid out for the remainder of the contract. Jackson now only counts $3.472 million against their 2013 cap. As for Nicks, he had a $12.5 million base salary next season, but the team took $11.785 million of that number and turned it into a 2012 bonus. The Buccaneers do have some players to address during free agency, mainly DE Michael Bennett, but these moves are likely to afford them the extra cap space to pursue some upgrades to their roster if they determine that there's adequate value in the market. The post Buccaneers Restructure Contracts Of Vincent Jackson & G Carl Nicks appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

When modaco ROM gets a new update like fr20 can i just update the ROM through CWR and still have all my data and information still there? or have to wipe all the data and restart again?
Hmm, debatable.. we've generally been ok flashing over the top of the previous version.. but FR20 is likely to be an ext4 based ROM, so it's quite possible that a wipe and reflash will be required. Sometimes it's unavoidable - but Paul does make a concious effort to ensure that's not the case.

- Attorneys seeks details on informant in Denver bar attack that killed five
The Denver judge overseeing the death penalty case against a 23-year-old accused of stabbing five people to death has allowed private defense attorneys to step down.
Prosecutors said in July that they are seeking the death penalty in the case against Dexter Lewis, who is charged with killing five people at Fero's Bar and Grill in October.
On Aug. 13, Denver District Court Judge John Madden ruled that Douglas Romero, a private attorney with the Colorado Christian Defense Counsel, may withdraw as Lewis' attorney.
According to a motion filed July 31, Lewis and Romero have irreconcilable conflicts about defense strategy.
Lewis' family previously had expressed concerns about Romero.
But Romero told The Denver Post on Monday that his reasons for withdrawing from the case were purely financial.
Public defenders have been reassigned to the case.
Lewis was assigned a public defender in October, but he dismissed the attorney in December and hired Romero.
Before stepping down from the case, Romero filed a sealed motion raising the question of whether Lewis is competent to proceed to trial.
Public defenders withdrew that motion last week.
"We stand by that motion," Romero said.
According to a different filing by Romero, Lewis had been taking psychotropic medications before and after the Oct. 17 crimes.
Lewis faces 16 counts in the attack. The charges include multiple counts of first-degree murder, felony murder, robbery and arson. His case marks the first time since 2001 that Denver prosecutors have pursued the death penalty.
Prosecutors last week filed a list of 80 aggravating factors that support their decision to seek the death penalty. Those factors include killing a witness, killing someone for monetary gain and killing someone in "an especially heinous, cruel or depraved manner."

Love sports, diet coke & reality TV. Southern by the grace of God!
I'm the girl usually described as 'one of the guys.' Roll Tide! Sarcastic, outgoing & fun. I am a Georgia girl, born & bred. Left this great state for college but came back because I truly do love it here. I grew up playing sports and now as a Certified Athletic Trainer, I get to stay in that world as I help keep young athletes healthy. I truly love my job and the people I work for and with. I just got a new job working for an orthopedic surgeon whom I deeply respect and I'm getting used to actually having free time :-) Although I am usually described as 'one of the guys,' I do enjoy dressing up and reminding everyone that I am a girl. I am loyal and loving and try to treat others the way I want to be treated. I am the rough and tumble girl but also want to be treated like a lady. I love my friends and family and would do anything for either. I want to find someone who is passionate about what they do and who has the same values as I do. A guy who loves his mom and values his friends as well. I am looking to find someone to enjoy life with and discover new things. I want someone who loves me in jeans and a baseball hat or in a dress and heels. I'm thinking that exists out there somewhere, right?

I, go ahead make fun of me, am a reality TV junkie. However, I can't get enough of Grey's, Private Practice, Modern Family, Parenthood, or The Good Wife either. I like most music, especially country and southern rock. Sports are always on my DVR too.
Having such a busy schedule with work, in my free time I love to spend time with my friends & family. I enjoy watching sports, going to concerts, or just have a game night at a friend's house.
The last book I read was "The Road to Omaha: Hits, Hopes and History at the College World Series." UNBELIEVABLE. I can't believe I missed the opportunity to see games played at Rosenblatt. Truly an amazing book! Love Jodi Picoult books.

The Obamcare exchange director in President Obama's home state of Hawaii has resigned after much frustration with the failed healthcare rollout. More from CBS:
The director of Hawaii's health insurance marketplace under President Barack Obama's federal health care overhaul has resigned after delays in getting the exchange running and low signups in the first month.
Executive Director Coral Andrews said Friday that she was not asked to resign and decided to leave the Hawaii Health Connector on her own.
Andrews told reporters on a conference call that directing the exchange has been one of the most challenging yet fulfilling roles in her career.
"The Hawaii Health Connector has been my baby. It has required constant nurturing and attention," Andrews said. "Although in many ways it is still growing and changing, the connector has reached a point where I now need to let go and let someone else take charge."
As a reminder, we've only had a total of 100,000+ people sign up for Obamacare through state based and federal exchanges according to information released by the Department of Health and Human Services two weeks ago. As of mid-November, information about how many people had enrolled, meaning purchased a plan, in Hawaii's state based Obamacare exchange was "unavailable."

Before teacher is history ...
WFHS memorabilia priority before retiring
After 30 years at Wichita Falls High School, journalism teacher Annetta Reusch would like to retire some day, but there's one mission she must finish first.
She must find a home for several valuable paintings, statues, a collection of class rings and a trove of mementos representing Coyote history.
She also has boxes of old yearbooks that she'd long to match with alumni who now may appreciate their unique high school memories.
"I just think the history ought to be saved," Reusch said. "I'm the only one who cares about history, they tell me."
Reusch may be the only one who still knows the context and origins of the school treasures.
Some of the pieces would bring a princely sum for the school if sold, she said.
"In 1923 the people of Wichita Falls gave literally thousands of dollars to buy paintings and statues to go in the building. They were (displayed) at the top of stairways and all around," she said.
"We also had 20 paintings that were purchased for $1,000 apiece in 1923."
One of those paintings, "The Ships," by impressionistic marine painter Harry Aiken Vincent, was given to the school by the Class of 1926. When Reusch had it appraised, she learned it was valued at $50,000.
In the WFHS gym stands an Italian-made statue called "The Wrestlers," that's "worth a fortune," Reusch said.
But in recent years, all but Reusch have abandoned such history.
Reusch will never forget one day years ago when a WFHS principal became angry after students put Howdy T-shirts on some of the statues during the school's annual Howdy celebration.
He decided to rid the school of the busts and allowed students and janitors to toss them out the upper story windows of the school, she said. Four busts by Carol Russell Wagner met their demise that way.
Several concerned parents rescued other statues and took them home, and many still have the statues in their homes or yards today, she said.
Another time, then-WFHS Principal Mike Ryan set Vincent's "The Ships" painting on a chair in the hallway.
After trying all day to give away the painting, he offered it to Reusch as she passed by, heading up to her classroom.
"Yes, I'll take that painting," she said.
Reusch said she stressed that he couldn't simply give away something so valuable. When he asked why not, she reminded him that it was part of WFHS inventory — and valuable, between $30,000 and $50,000.
He offered to hang it in the school library but never did, she said.
Reusch has continued to protect the painting.
Ideally, Reusch would like to channel the WFHS valuables to a special room at The Museum of North Texas.
"They tell me at the Museum of North Texas they don't have room for it," she said. "I wouldn't even care if they had three high schools' (mementos) and put them all in the same room."
She treasures a 20-foot banner emblazoned with the names of "all five high schools — Notre Dame (Catholic School), Booker T. (Washington), Hirschi, Rider and Old High."
She also has scrapbooks, UIL trophies, a Victrola, and a pump organ from Old High Past — many valuables that sat in a display window on the high school's main floor but were eventually booted out in favor of more relevant displays, she said.
She cringes at the thought. "I care about the history, even though I didn't go to school here," she said.
Then there are the yearbooks — boxes of them.
"I have six of 1974, nine of 1981, 38 of 1989, 14 of 1990, 97 of 1995, 28 of 2001, and 37 of 2002," she said. Also available: copies of 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Surely graduates from those years can now afford a yearbook, especially at Reusch's half-off deal of $30 apiece, she said.
Or, family members might purchase one as a unique Christmas present for a child or parent.
Anyone interested can call Reusch at 235-1084, ext. 32056, or email her at email@example.com.
Even though Reusch happily reigns over the school's journalism program and school history in her 31st year of teaching, she's giving herself a deadline to find homes for such treasures as her retirement nears.
"I'm not going to walk away and have this stuff thrown in the trash," she said.

I was gifted this by my 20 something age son and have enjoyed most of the products.
The product description had offensive descriptions of the scent masking the odors of aging women - you really have to read it - in part: "...defies your skin's natural age - revealing scent:.
I liked the scent but will not buy the product due to its poorly thought out product description - basically old women smell bad and this scent will overcome your natural body odor.
I really like this perfume but I don't find it too terribly long lasting. When you spend money on perfume you hope that it will at least last a few hours but I find the scent fades too quickly. This would probably make me hesitant to re-purchase. Smells nice and fruity. I wish it was a little bit more crisp and grape-fruity. I find it a little soft, but still a nice scent for summer!4
I really, really love the sample I got in my monthly box, it smells so good and a little goes a long way (I still carry the sample in my purse). It was the first full-size product I decided to buy. It's popular, so I had to wait until it was re-stocked to make my purchase. NO problem. When it arrived, the bottle and design look nothing like what's pictured on the product page, but it still smelled good, so I went with it. But week or so after wearing it, I found that the scent was nearly gone by the time I got to work in the morning. The bottle of perfume says very little, but it does have the initials EDT… makes sense that an EDT wouldn't last as long as the more concentrated oil we got in the monthly box. Needless to say, disappointed.3
This scent is absolutely divine for summer considering it has sparkling high notes of pink grapefruit and wild citrus that keep me feeling fresh and flirty all day! It also was perfect as a gift to my mom on her birthday last week, now we both dance in the waves of laguna beach feeling as young and free as I really am;)5

Weekend Entertaining: Cornmeal crust adds great texture to pizzas
After a recent trip to St. Louis, I have fallen in love with cornmeal pizza crust. I'm not sure if it's a Missouri thing or not, but a restaurant named Pi (restaurantpi.com) served it, and I haven't forgotten it.
I came up with my own version that included a touch of whole wheat flour along with the all-purpose flour and cornmeal. This is a very forgiving dough. It can be left all day on the counter or be made with only all-purpose flour and cornmeal and taste just as great. The cornmeal gives it a great texture.
For weekend entertaining, make the dough in the morning. Before guests arrive, assemble the pizzas and hold them in the fridge. Bake them 15 minutes before you're ready to serve for the best crispy-edged crust results.
Shelley Baltz received her culinary degree from Johnson & Wales University. See more from her at thewrittenkitchen.com or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cornmeal Pizza Dough
1 pkg. active dry yeast
11/3 cups warm water
1 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal
In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow to become foamy for about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and allow to mix for 5 minutes or until it starts to come off the sides cleanly and form a ball. The dough should be slightly sticky but still be able to be formed into a ball without too much dough sticking to you. Add 1 tbsp. at a time of all-purpose flour if it's too sticky to come out of the bowl, or add 1 tbsp. at a time of water if it's too dry.
Spray a bowl with nonstick cooking spray, and place the dough ball into the sprayed bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let set until doubled in size, at least 2 hours. I use the proof setting on my oven and it sets all day in there. It may also be kept on the counter all day, as long as the room isn't too cool.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 500. Punch the dough down and cut into 2 balls or 4 and roll out to ¼ to ½ inch thick on a floured surface.
Place the rolled-out dough on a preheated pizza stone or a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Top with your favorite toppings and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Yield: Two 9-by-13 size crusts or four 6-by-6 size crusts.

Peppers, Kiedis celebrate with energetic show
Anthony Kiedis is living proof that 50 is the new 20.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman turned a half-century-old in Milwaukee Thursday, celebrating the occasion with his band and a primarily full BMO Harris Bradley Center. Initially wearing a formal black jacket with tails, it wasn't long before he was shirtless. And very rarely, if at all Thursday, was he still - whether he was spinning around like a karate master caught in a cyclone or busting out his own interpretation of PSY's "Gangnam Style" galloping horse shuffle - and those moves were during just one song, "Around The World." (Fans brought their own special moves as well, at least in section 407 where I sat; at one point, I found myself completely smashed between two full-body dancers with no concept of personal space.) »Read Full Article(6)

Customer Reviews of Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver
Beware you are purchasing a off brand item!8/1/2013
I must admit if I knew before hand, I was purchasing an generic made Xbox wireless controller receiver. I would not have bought it. I have an original one and it was ten times easier to install and get working. So if you do not mind an off brand product. You can save an extra $5-10 bucks. The item came in a timely manner I was very pleased with that, and the packaging wis satisfactory.
Blatent Internet ripoff11/29/2012
Windows 7 does not have any drivers for it, and the included software is incompatible with it.
Knock Off!!!8/10/2011
this is not the product advertised, it is a cheap knock off. false advertising at its finest. I cannot get it to work with windows7, only xp
Cheap knock-off8/7/2011
Not the Microsoft wireless receiver (Microsoft one says "Microsoft" on the front, not "XBOX 360"). With some driver hackery, it somewhat works on Windows 7 (have to find and install an old driver version or manually edit an .ini file), though only one works at a time - unlike the Microsoft hardware, you cannot plug two of these in (for 5 or more controllers). For those who need it, I put up working old drivers for this hardware here: http://thesilentb.com/files/PCReceiver2.0.2.zip
Not in "NEW" Condition11/3/2010
Bought it with it being new in mind, waited 3 weeks for shipping and when it came, it was used. Packaging was not factory and the CD was not in any sort of case or sleeve.
Beware, it a cheap knock off!!!!9/21/2010
This is NOT a Microsoft branded receiver as the page and manufacture info says it is. It a crap knock off that does NOT work any new OS (Windows 7). The official MS drivers won't work on this rip off and the provider drivers are not accepted by windows 7. Don't let the good reviews fool you, they are all old and were probably placed before W7. Buy.com was no better as they refused to refund me even though it was falsely advertised on their site.
Worked first time, every time11/18/2008
I struggled with off-brand corded USB controllers which would consistently stop working during a game, and wouldn't work at all with extension hubs. I wish I had bought this sooner. Plugged it in, turn on the XBOX controllers, everything worked first time every time.
The Last PC Gamepad You'll Ever Need.4/7/2007
I bought this specifically to play PC games that are more console like, and let me tell you, this is the perfect gamepad. If you're using any other gamepad for the PC then you're doing yourself disservice. -- Just keep in mind that if you're buying this wireless version of the Xbox 360 Gamepad and you want to use it on the PC you'll need to have the "Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows," which Buy.com also sells. No complaints; great design, and great experience with the device. Recommended.
Works Like A Charm!4/7/2007
Does just what it's supposed to do. Plug it in and then install the software that comes on the CD. Just make sure to restart to your PC after the software installation so that everything is recognized recognized properly. No complaints at all. More than worth its low price. - If you're considering buying it, then consider no more, just get it! Buy.com got this to me extremely quick as well. So Kudos to them on the shipping.
USB Compatibility what?3/16/2007
Don't get me wrong, this is a great idea. I got this a few weeks ago, unpacked it, followed the simple 6 instructions and within a few minutes was gaming with it. BRILLIANT! If they asked me to write this a few weeks ago, this would have received a 5. However, after installing this in my BRAND NEW computer, it would simply refuse to work. It installed correctly, was recognized, but the controller and receiver would NOT sync with each other. In order to sync i had to try it while the computer was restarting, with everything USB unplugged. HUGE PAIN IN THE NECK. Be cautious, this will NOT work for everyone, but is great if it does.0 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
Works great with Skype2/28/2007
Hooked right up and paired with my wireless headset easy enough. Was able to talk to my bro in Hong Kong (from the states) with it. Sound quality was good, I would even say better than when using with XBL. Haven't tried the controller with it yet (hence the 4 stars instead of 5).1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Great device for PC gaming, headsets might not sou2/14/2007
The wireless receiver works great with the two windows xp (pro/mce2005) systems I tested it on. I was thrilled to use the 360 wireless controllers for PC games, I really like the ergonomics, in fact I don't even own a 360 console and bought the controller exclusively for my PC. It required the drivers on the included CD, but install was a snap. It felt responsive although I didn't try a fps where lag may be more noticeable. I was excited that my cell phone's 3.5mm headset worked with it. Once I plugged it in to the wireless controller an xp popup came on screen saying a new usb audio device was found. The sound quality wasn't that great, but this was on a computer that only had USB 1.1, not sure if 2.0 would have made a difference. It may have been the old game I was playing or the headset I was using, but I only got mono in my right ear. Very happy with the purchase

NCAA Division II Championships-Game 5
SALEM, Ore. -- Wayne State got the hits, but could not cross the plate as the Warriors left nine runners on base, including seven in scoring position in a 2-0 loss to defending national champion St. Mary's in an elimination game at the 2003 NCAA Division II Softball Championships.
All-American Kym Kling gave up three hits in the first inning, and looked to show effects of a poor showing in the opening round. But Kling responded, scattering three hits over the final six innings and pitching herself out of several jams to pick up her 31st win of the season.
"I was more determined today after how I pitched yesterday," Kling said. "I wanted people to know that I was not that kind of pitcher."
Kling, who also leads the Rattlers in hitting, has failed to deliver a hit in two games here in Salem.
"I'm still waiting," Kling said. "Once we can get our hitting going, we will be alright."
Kling was backed up by great defense. Reserve shortstop LuLu Rodriguez turned a huge double play that ended the third inning.
"We practice those plays on a regular basis," St. Mary's head coach Donna Fields said. "She came in and made an excellent play. She got an opportunity and came through for us."
Rodriguez entered the game in the second inning, when starting second baseman Jamie Bertsch suffered a right knee injury. Bertsch is being evaluated and is listed as day-to-day.
St. Mary's advances to face the loser of the Shippensburg-Georgia College and State University game. Wayne State finishes the season at 39-15-1.

New gameshow alert! Prize Island starts this weekendBecca Day-Preston , 22nd October 2013, 13:14
The long-awaited Prize Island has a confirmed broadcast date! The exotic gameshow, which will see couples compete in wacky challenges in an exotic location in order to win prizes, will hit our screens on Sunday 27th October at 5:40pm, on ITV. It's presented by familiar faces Emma Willis (Big Brother) and Alexander Armstrong (Pointless).
The challenge-based gameshow will invite couples to compete in games like 'Coconut Superstore', 'Shipwreck' and 'Swiss Family Plumbing' to win fitted kitchens, TVs and other prizes, building up to the final 'Buried Treasure' challenge that will see them compete to uncover (and win) £50,000 and a brand new car.
Endemol's Richard Osman wrote this about Prize Island last year, in an article for the Guardian: "I've just watched a couple from Birmingham win a fitted kitchen by bouncing off an enormous inflatable octopus." Sure, why not?
Prize Island (Endemol UK, ITV)
