State Water Resources Research Institute Program
Project ID: 2007AZ219B
Title: Geospatial Analysis of Urban Thermal Gradients: Application to Tucson Arizona's Projected Water Demand
Project Type: Research
Start Date: 3/ 1/2007
End Date: 6/30/2008
Congressional District: Seventh
Focus Categories: Water Use, Management and Planning, Climatological Processes
Keywords: Urban heat island, geospatial analysis, water demand, urban growth
Principal Investigators: Scott, Christopher A; Comrie, Andrew C.; Yool, Stephen
Federal Funds: $ 12,000
Non-Federal Matching Funds: $ 25,140
Abstract: The water budgets of urban and urbanizing areas are hypothetically affected in a significant manner by rising regional temperatures, which have been demonstrated to result from urban heat island effects and broader warming across the Southwest. Both urban and regional warming are projected to increase even further with city growth and climate change. It is therefore important to understand the relation between urban water demand and spatial and temporal temperature trends in urban [-izing] areas. This project proposes to conduct geospatial analysis of Landsat TM thermal infrared data (x, y, t) and DEM (z), thereby generating surfaces of heat source-sink gradients, signatures of the persistence of thermal threshold exceedances, and identifying features or episodes of thermal "reset," e.g., [micro-] topographic cooling corridors, vegetation buffers, or precipitation events. For the Tucson Arizona basin, thermal gradients will be mapped over the period 1984 to the present and spatially correlated to urban growth, urban heat island effects, and water supply. Indoor vs. outdoor water use will be estimated from supply data using temporal disaggregation techniques. Results will be assessed with reference to the growth and water demand scenarios in the Tucson Water Plan 2000-2050. The resulting thermal surfaces and persistence datasets are also expected to be of utility to planners, urban landscape ecologists, and the research community. The project will a) produce a manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal, b) result in multiple proposals for continued investigation targeted particularly at EPA's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) and NSF's Coupled Natural-Human Systems (CNH) programs, and c) support the team's efforts to strengthen the University of Arizona's capability and expertise in the area of human-environmental feedbacks in the rapidly urbanizing Sonoran Desert Ecoregion.

Kim Rodriguez and Kristoffer Martin reignite on-screen tandem via 'Paraiso Ko'y Ikaw'
January 21 2014
Beginning January 27, GMA Network unveils the latest addition to its slate of innovative programs for the first quarter of 2014 with the much awaited debut of 'Paraiso Ko'y ikaw'.
Paraiso Ko'y Ikaw tells the story of Tupe and Josephine who will grow up in a remote island known as Isla de Amor. In this island, they will discover everything about life and love without the interference of the rest of the world at a very young age.
Over the years, their mutual affection for each other develops into a beautiful, innocent young love since they have known nobody else but themselves in the island.
By some twist of fate, Josephine and Tupe will be separated when they decided to leave Isla de Amor. An accident occurs and Josephine will return in the island by herself while Tupe will be rescued by Badong. Josephine is devastated and thinks that Tupe did not survive and he is already dead.
Will Josephine and Tupe's paths cross again? Will the young lovers fulfill their destiny to once and for all be together? Or will Josephine be ready to embrace a new love with Brix?
Under the direction of award-winning director Bb. Joyce Bernal, Paraiso Ko'y Ikaw will take viewers through a journey of smiles and tears, where true love always triumphs in the end.

The Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop and Farm has played an important role in the history of Olathe since 1858. This year, Mahaffie is commemorating that role with a year-long celebration of the "sesquicentennial" birthday of its centerpiece: the 150-year-old limestone farmhouse.
The City of Olathe has been recognized as a winner of the 2015 Healthiest Employers, an awards program presented by the Kansas City Business Journal.
BNSF will temporarily close the railroad crossing at Dennis Avenue, between Grant Street and Kansas Avenue, beginning Tuesday, Feb. 10. The crossing is expected to remain closed through Wednesday, Feb. 11, as BNSF conducts routine maintenance in the area.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) will remove the west half of the existing bridge at K-10 and Ridgeview Road beginning Friday, Feb. 13 through Wednesday, Feb. 19. The overnight demolition work will be done sections at a time and will force traffic to shift onto the east half of the new bridge for several weeks.
All Johnson County residents have the opportunity to drop off their unwanted Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) at the City of Olathe's drop-off event. The event will be held Feb. 14, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the HHW facility located at 1420 S. Robinson Dr. behind Public Works and Customer Service. No appointment is necessary.
Outdoor pool season starts May 25. Now is the time to purchase your season swim pass at the Olathe Community Center, 1205 E Kansas City Rd. Stop in at any time during business hours and check out swim pass options, including the early bird discount that ends April 30. For more information visit Parks & Recreation or call 913-971-8563.
Two Trails Outdoor Camp returns this summer with 11 weeks of fun. The camp runs May 26 through Aug. 7, and is $135 per week. A second child discount and week-to-week registration options are available. Kids will engage in a variety of activities such as arts, crafts, nature, sports, games and more. Campers will swim two to three times a week and take a non-swimming field trip once a week. This camp is for school-aged children 5-12 years of age.
The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has closed the southbound right lane on Renner Road at K-10 for 60 days as part of the Johnson County Gateway Project. The closure will allow KDOT to relocate water lines and to construct the bridge pier in that area. The left lane will remain open through construction.
The Olathe Mayor's Christmas Tree Fund campaign has raised an astonishing $175,000, far exceeding its $140,000 goal for 2014.
Mayor Michael Copeland praised the generosity of the community in setting a new record for community giving. "Every donation to the Mayor's Christmas Tree Fund, no matter how small, represents a priceless gift of encouragement and hope to a hurting child or struggling family in need. I am so proud of the caring, giving hearts in Olathe, and I speak for every dedicated member of our Board in saying thank you to our community," he said.
Olathe Parks & Recreation is partnering with Olathe Medical Center to offer the first Wellness Wednesday at the Olathe Community Center, 1205 E. Kansas City Road, on Jan. 28 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. The program will offer free community education classes from Olathe Medical Center the last Wednesday of each month. The January topic is Diabetes Education.

In case you missed it:
I cringe at the gun stuff. Although Obama's record on that had been to do damn near nothing in his first term, I'm curious to see what he'll do beyond asking for a vote on new legislation in his second term. Beyond that I'm not sure what to say because, as usual, it's a mixed bag of things that I'm good with and things that make me cringe deeply.
I hate the Stockholm Syndrome that causes so many people to feel aligned with Party Red or Party Blue. Breaking out of that and realizing they're both just plain awful is uncomfortable.

And Jesus laughed
Luke 17:11-19
When I read this passage, I'd like to hear the inflection that Jesus gave to these words. "Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they?" The inflection of the words makes a considerable impact on the meaning of the reading as heard, and would tell us much about Jesus' reaction to the healing of the lepers.
A good reader is a good actor, drawing from the words a richness that they would not otherwise have. Just as there is a great difference in reading a play and seeing and listening to it being performed, so there is a difference in reading scripture silently and hearing it read aloud in church. I sometimes wonder at the grace brought to a reading by a lector who bothered to learn about the text and its meaning, and then tried to give voice not only to the words but their power. And, of course, I sometimes cringe when a stony reading of a lively story makes it leaden and deadly.

Belize Program Turns Field into Classroom
A student report on UVM's new study-abroad program
By Kyle Lovell Article published May 1, 2007
Welcome to Belize, a country of sandy beaches, dense jungle and rich cultural heritage. This is a tropical paradise with rampant HIV infection, impoverished people and political corruption creating debt equal to the yearly GDP.
Amidst the beauty of the land and the exciting new culture, 18 UVM students began six different projects, whose effects will far outlast the students' stay in Belize.
Jay Ashman, lecturer in Community Development and Applied Economics Department (CDAE), and Meg Ashman, former publications editor in Extension, designed and co-directed the semester-long, study-abroad adventure based around sustainable development. Gary Flomenhoft, research associate in CDAE and fellow in the Gund Institute, was the lead faculty member. UVM students studied with UVM faculty and participated in one or more courses offered by Galen University in San Ignacio, alongside Belizean students.
Each student team had a self-designed, fieldwork project, tackling an issue of Belize that aligns with the eight Millennium Development Goals set out by the United Nations. The wide breadth of projects ranged from HIV/AIDS education and nutrition in elementary schools to alternative energy solutions and the fight against political corruption. Laura Quinn, leader of the cultural tourism project, said, "Inspiration from the people around me makes my heart race. I want to improve lives in this community."
Students working on HIV awareness attempted to educate everyone, from rural backcountry to bustling Belize City. The alternative energy students, led by Gary Flomenhoft, helped to end the Toledo district's dependency on the electric company monopoly by using a vegetable oil generator.
"Students frequently say the service learning projects we do are the best thing they have done in a foreign country," Flomenhoft says. "Becoming part of the community, instead of being a tourist, gives them a unique insight into the culture and makes them feel much more accepted. Students always feel great about being able to make a contribution, but they get just as much back in learning how to do a project in the real world."
The most surprising project to come out of this endeavor was the fight against Belize's overwhelming political corruption, which truly hinders any chance Belize has at furthering its goals of eradicating poverty and improving quality of life. The Belizean government, which received a 3.7 on a 1 to 10 scale (1 being totally corrupt) in the Corruptions Perception Index, takes in US$280 million every year. There are transactions not accounted for, and millions squandered on bribery and scandal. The students in this group aligned themselves with SPEAR, the Society for the Promotion of Education and Research, to fight for accountability and transparency in the government.
Attaining good governance in Belize will positively affect all aspects of Belize. The roads will be fixed, as all taxpayers were promised; import substitution bribery will end and therefore boost local economy; and the mounting debt will finally begin to decrease, so Belize can be in control of its own wellbeing. Having a dependable government will give people faith in a chance for improved lives, along with more options to explore life's opportunities.
A healthier person, with a better education, in a stronger economy, leads directly to success. In the world of CDAE, the same question is often posed: How will you change the world? These eighteen UVM students decided to throw themselves into a new perspective and change the world for the better.

Dave WillettsView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
b. 24 June 1952, Birmingham, West Midlands, England. A singer and actor, with a reputation as 'one of the best singing voices in town', Willetts seemed to emerge from nowhere in the 80s to take over leading roles in two blockbusting West End musicals. He had no singing, dancing or acting lessons, and before he was 20, rarely went to the theatre. However, while working during the day as a quality control supervisor for a Midlands firm of engineers, he became involved in local amateur dramatics. His sensitive performance as Charlie in the Charles Strouse musical Flowers For Algernon, came to the notice of Bob Hamlyn, artistic director of the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. Hamlyn cast him in his first professional part, as 'the third flunky from the left', in another Strouse show, Annie. By now in his thirties, Willetts began his incredible rise to the top. Director Trevor Nunn put him into the chorus of Les Misérables at London's Palace Theatre, and within a year he was understudy for the lead role of Jean Valjean, which he eventually took over in 1986 after Colm Wilkinson left to join the Broadway production. In the following year, when Michael Crawford also departed England for the US premiere of The Phantom Of Opera, Willetts succeeded him at Her Majesty's in the West End's hottest ticket. He subsequently played the Phantom in Manchester, and won the Evening News Theatre Award. Since then, apart from his involvement as Major Lee in Petula Clark's ill-fated American Civil War musical, Someone Like You (1990), Willetts' career has prospered. Highlights have included appearances at London's premier cabaret space, Pizza On The Park (1991), a return to the London production of Les Misérables (1992), and the title role of Jesus in a concert version of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Barbican Centre and the subsequent 1993 European tour; he also co-starred with Lorna Luft in the touring concert staging of The Magical World Of The Musicals (1995), and took the leading role in an acclaimed Leicester Haymarket production of Sweeney Todd (1996). In the same year, Willetts created the title role in a new musical by Tony Rees and Gary Young, Jekyll, at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley. Willetts originated leading characters in the UK premieres of Tycoon and Lonely Hearts, and has also starred in his own UK and international concerts and one-man shows. In 1997, he and Bonnie Langford headed a small cast at London's Jermyn Theatre, in A Lot Of Living!, an intimate revue featuring the songs of Charles Strouse. Subsequently, he portrayed Jean Valjean once again, in the 10th Anniversary production of Les Misérables in Sydney, Australia. Early in 1999, Willetts was co-starred with Marti Webb in a UK tour of The Magic Of The Musicals In Concert.

How to Make Money at Flea Markets
How to Make Money at Flea Markets
In the following article we aim to tell you everything you need to know about Making Money at Flea Markets, otherwise known as swap meets or car boot sales.
So what is a flea market you say? Well a flea market is basically a collection of people who all gather in a designated area, whether it is a field, a warehouse or even some kind of indoor market place. All of these people gather for one reason, to sell items to the browsing public. Flea markets are hugely popular all over the world because of the low set up costs, and the extra incentive of making some extra money from items you no longer need or want. A lot of money can be made at these events because they attract large crowds all willing to part with their money for any possible bargains or rare items they may be able to get their hands on. We have been selling at flea markets for the last few years and we speak from experience when we say that good money can be made.
To make money from flea markets though you will need the bare essentials so far as setting up and transport are concerned.
So what do I need to set up my Flea Market Stall?
Appropriate Transport: Because you may be transporting a lot of things to and from your destination, we recommend that you have appropriate transport for the amount you intend to take. Please bare in mind that it is not only your items you will be selling you will need to transport but all of your set-up equipment itself which we will tell you about. We would say that your best option of transport would be some kind of van, pick up truck or large car e.g. people carrier or estate car. These vehicles will come in very handy as you will need as much space as you can get to fit in all your equipment and stock to maximise your chances to make money from flea markets.
Equipment: To make money from flea markets there are various bits of equipment you will need in order to get your stall up and running. The equipment that you will need are at least one or two fold away tables these are called pasting tables. And these are easy to get hold of for reasonable price at most good hardware stores. You can also acquire these through online hardware stockists whatever your preference is. In addition to this we suggest that you transport your goods in cardboard boxes or foldable plastic box carriers. This is simply for ease of packing and unpacking for the start and finish to your pitch. We also recommend that you take some camping mats to put any stock on that may not all fit on the tables or is too heavy as you don't want to just leave it on the possibly wet ground.
Stock: This is probably your most important part of your setup obviously because this is what you make your money from. We will tell you the best ways to get hold of your stock further on in the article. But can we suggest that you take as much as your transport will allow, this is simply because the more things you have the more you will sell. It is that simple, customers at flea markets like to root around through your stock and won't mind if you have a lot to root through. From our own experiences we know that this is a proven technique. Remember any customers that attend flea markets are bargain hunters; they will search high and low to find any potential gem of a buy.
So where can I get some things to sell?
To make money at flea markets we recommend that you gather as much stock as you can to keep you going for a while so that should you sell a lot on your first few attempts you are not left with nothing to go on with. There are a couple of ways you can accumulate stock. We suggest that the best place to start looking is at your home, you will be amazed how many items you have lurking around your house that is expendable to you. Selling things that you no longer want or need can bring in a lot of money because the chances are you have a lot of it, this means you may have some good items that buyers may see as a lot more valuable than you do. Things that sell well at flea markets are such things like:
Books, DVD's, Videos, Novelty Knickknacks, Collectible Items, Toys, Jewellery and any old electrical equipment you no longer want or need.
If you have a near endless supply of these sorts of things then you will without fail make good money.
There is another way to make money at flea markets, you don't have to just rely on finding things around your house to sell. Of course there is always the option of buying yourself stock from online sources to sell. There are many options to do this, you can buy straight from an online wholesaler and buy a bulk order of stock that you believe would sell well. Or you can also try and acquire your stock though online auction sites, such as eBay. eBay is full of money making opportunities through buying wholesale or job lot goods , this by the way is the category bulk items will appear in when searching eBay. We recommend that buying bulk items is probably easier and cheaper through eBay because you may have to order set amounts if you buy direct from wholesalers, where as smaller quantities may be available through eBay. Therefore minimising the risk you place on the amount you buy, so far as recouping your cost goes. We recommend that you do your research when investing in bulk orders of stock to make sure that it would sell well firstly but also that you can make a profit from it. If its touch and go whether you will or not its probably not worth it.
So is it worth your time trying?
Yes. We thoroughly believe that taking part in these flea markets is thoroughly worth it. It can provide a steady income which may be the difference between any other business interests staying afloat or not. It really can provide a helpful cash boost to any small aspiring business, in our experience we have used money made from flea markets to pay overheads and other outgoings.

this is an image/ animation of Miles Davis by Jeff Sedlik
Miles PhotoStration
this is an image/ animation of Miles Davis by Jeff Sedlik
Here is a message I received in my inbox from Jeff a few years ago. It went as follows:
Jeff Sedlik here. I created the Miles Davis photograph currently featured on your site, and in your illustrations.
As I read the letter I felt terrible. Then went back and noticed I HAD credited Jeff in the post but hadn't given him a linked credit. Here is Jeff's' work. Take a look. He's one of the masters. In a moment of haste I fired back a hostile e mail and Jeff I went back and forth over artist's rights. I felt like a douche and apologized. It was a learning moment for me. Jeff was also one of the artists who was contacted to testify in the Fairey case. He declined (as I did).
Here is an encapsultion of the imagery I used to draw the Miles image. BTW- its worth mention that this image has never seen the light of day, other than in one of the Society of Illustrators shows. I did it for me. It was an exploratory (the client had asked for a string image, which they did use)
Here's a larger detail drawn from Sedlik and Penn.
Below is another e mail message from Jeff. If you are a practicing artist or illustrator or student I suggest you read Jeff's message carefully. He's the real deal.
Here is the balance of my response to your first message.
Whether your client accepted and used your work is not the issue here. Whether you traced, free handed, or mind melded my work has no bearing or
relevance. You most certainly copied it. I did not publish that work under a CC license. Rather, the poster, the photograph, the website and all other
reproductions are marked to ensure that anyone viewing the image understands that permission should be sought and obtained before using an image. Even if unmarked, images should not be copied.
You suggest that I should treat my work like flotsam, delivering it to a client and walking away and never looking back. You are entitled to treat your work as garbage, but not to expect that I do the same.
I create work, and then generate licensing revenue from that work, over time, throughout the life of the copyright. At that point my work will be owned by the public, for use in any manner, without my permission. In the interim, I support myself and my family by licensing my work. There is no other feasible business model -- other than creating concepts, creating photographs based on those concepts, and then licensing the photographs
repeatedly, first in order to recoup the significant cost involved in generating photographic images, and then to generate income.
The ONLY point made in my message was to suggest that you treat fellow artists with respect when copying their work -- that you should ask
permission (always), and provide attribution (if requested by the artist). Many artists will share their work, when asked, depending on the circumstances.
Some artists are under the mistaken impression that they can steal work, as long as they credit the author, or that by altering a work x%, it is somehow
acceptable. There is an ethical issue at play, and that is - if you are going to use someone else's work
Ultimately, there is a 0% chance that you would have created that Miles illustration without my image at hand, and without all of the work that I invested in making that image. I only suggested that you should have contacted me before copying it. —Jeff
Jeff and I had a conversation over the phone, here, briefly. Always better to talk it out on the phone rather than shoot off e mails. Here's the last e mail from Mr Sedlik:
Whenever I think to reference a photo I think about Jeff (and his family who depends on him to create these images). I wonder if Shep Fairey thinks about all the photographers whose works he plundered in order to send his messages. To be certain, I like Shep's work, some of it. Some of it is heavy handed and naive. I'm not out to pile on Shep or the Times in my last post.
Anyhoo I hope this posting resonates with you and maybe changes your philosophy on referencing and crediting your fellow artists. I'd also like to thank Jeff for passing on some wisdom (unknowingly, here) as well as creating some of the best Jazz art out there.

A 14 mile in-and-out that hits two of the tallest, most prominent peaks in the Angeles National Forest. Beginning with the historic, alpine brook that runs through Icehouse Canyon, this trail climbs through picturesque pine and cedar to Icehouse Saddle before visiting the site of an old trail resort and ascending a long ridge between the two peaks. A truly magnificent and rewarding hike, with great views of the Baldy Bowl for almost the entire route. Highly, highly recommended.
Additionally, since this hike enters a Wilderness Area, you should stop at the Mount Baldy Ranger Station on the way up for a Wilderness Permit. The Ranger Station / Visitor Center is well-signed in the village of Mount Baldy. Walk-up passes are available, and if you're staying overnight, it would be wise to consult with the rangers to see if any inclement weather is on its way.
Mt. Baldy Visitor Center

Daily 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
Whenever I feel like I need a kick in the pants to get going, or a reminder of why it's so damn great to live and hike in Southern California, I head to Icehouse Canyon. Ever since I drove through a rainstorm, climbed up through the clouds and into a perfect October sky for a hike here in '06, I have always loved this region of the San Gabriels — and so to alleviate a mild funk I'd been in, I packed up, got an early start, and headed toward Mount Baldy Village.
This hike starts at the end of Icehouse Canyon Road, at a parking lot where the road dead-ends. This lot is usually pretty full of cars — especially on holidays. The local population flocks to this trail, but the vast majority stick close to the parking area.
Just to the east of a restroom is the start of the trail, on pavement that runs just past the site of the historic Ice House Canyon Resort — a beautiful wood and stone tavern that stood in the area from 1921 well into the 1980s before burning down in a mysterious fire. Today, there's not much left.
The trail passes this building and enters Icehouse Canyon proper, with the gentle white noise of the babbling Icehouse Canyon Creek accompanying your journey. Hopefully, it will be loud enough to overcome any crowds that might happen to be traipsing through the area with you. In the lower portions of the canyon, scenes like this are not atypical:
If you're not in a mood to rush, but still want to avoid crowds, I'd suggest taking a detour into the actual creek bed itself for a little bit of boulder hopping. You'll have a far greater appreciation of the serenity of the area — just be on the look-out for stinging nettles, which love the water-soaked soil.
Your alternative is just to power through the crowds. There is still plenty of great scenery to take in as the trail ascends along the canyon walls, passing 34 beautiful turn-of-the-century cabins along the way.
.9 miles from the trailhead, the Icehouse Canyon trail meets up with the Chapman Trail, which switchbacks up the ridge to the north, enters Cedar Glen Campground, and then meets back up with the Icehouse Canyon trail further up the canyon. I've never taken this route, personally, but it will get you to the same place and add 1.8 miles to your trip one-way.
Instead, ignore it and continue east along the Icehouse Canyon Trail. In another half-mile, you'll cross a small footbridge on a side creek, and leave the watery portion of the trail. Here, the landscape makes a shift from the riparian grasses and ferns of the creek to a more stark, boulder and talus-strewn area. The canyon views open up, shaded by incense cedar and ponderosa pine.
The trail passes a few skeletons of old cabins and then navigates east through more rocky terrain, eventually entering the boundaries of the Cucamonga Wilderness — which straddles the border between the Angeles and San Bernardino National Forests.
About a half mile from the Wilderness Boundary, the trail leaves the rocky bottom of the canyon and starts a series of long ascents and switchbacks along the canyon's northern wall.
After 1.9 miles and 1649 feet of elevation gain, the trail reaches Icehouse Saddle (el. 7555), a cleared, constantly windy, and often crowded rest spot. This is where most of the hikers who make it up from the trailhead have their lunches and turn around.
Icehouse Saddle is notable for the sheer number of options a hiker has when he or she reaches it. You can tack on 1.8 miles round trip to hit Timber Mountain, 4.8 to tackle Cucamonga Peak, or continue along the Ontario Peak Trail on this route. From the Icehouse Canyon Trail, travel a few yards south until you run into a trail that heads back west, along the south side of the canyon.
This trail continues along the southern side of Icehouse, through very pleasant alpine forest and manzanita on its way to Kelly Camp.
Kelly Camp itself is on the site of a former backcountry resort, and you can still very clearly make out the foundations of several of the old buildings. Thankfully, dirt and pine needles have made the rest of the ground soft enough for sleeping bags.
The trail continues, passing through some of the old foundations and climbing up onto a ridge just to the south of the camp. If you'd like to make this the end of your day's trip, hitting the surrounding peaks on day-hikes is more manageable. And I won't guarantee anything — but everyone I've known who's camped at Kelly has seen bighorn sheep in the morning when they wake up.
Here, the landscape is peaceful and quiet. The crowds from Icehouse are almost completely gone by now — I only ran into another three or four hikers for the remainder of my time on the Ontario Peak Trail. Take time to enjoy it as you continue hiking southwest from Kelly Camp through tall conifers, eventually breaking into open skies at the northern slope of the Ontario-Bighorn Ridge — a likely victim of bark beetles.
Continue as the clearly visible trail hops over a downed tree and keeps heading up and to the southwest (at the downed log, there's a use-trail that meanders to the east. Ignore it). Here, there's a steep but manageable ascent to the ridge line, where the Ontario Trail intersects with the Bighorn Peak Trail, at about the 4.8 mile mark.
From here, you've got a choice — you can tackle the shorter Bighorn Peak Trail first (1.5 miles RT), or you can get the longer trip to Ontario out of the way (3 miles RT). Or you can just take a seat along the steep drop-off and enjoy the phenomenal 360 degree view of the wilderness:
After I rested up a bit, I headed east toward Bighorn. The trail starts out easily enough, traversing just north of the ridge, on a slight slope. It has a few steep drop-offs, but nothing terrifying or especially dangerous — just an incline along some talus.
In about half a mile, the trail hits a patchy area of manzanita bushes, and becomes indistinct. Resist the urge to climb, and instead head a very short distance to the east, approaching a steep drop-off on the south side of the ridge. From there, look to the northeast, and a faint but distinct trail emerges between the bushes:
Climb this trail for another 0.2 miles, to reach the summit ridge of Bighorn Peak. Look for a large pile of boulders on the ridge, which marks the summit.
When I did this, I wrote a note in the summit register, and looked up to see the absolutely incredible sight of clouds rolling up onto and over Ontario Peak. I just had to stop and watch for a few moments.
After a few moments of quiet reflection, I climbed back down the talus slope and backtracked to the Ontario Peak Trail, now covered even further by clouds.
From the junction, the trail sticks well to the north side of the ridge line, moving through taller manzanitas than Bighorn has, and more swaths of dead trees.
Still, even with all the dead trees around, it is an area of great beauty and solace. Chances are you'll be alone up here, with a commanding view of the Baldy Bowl and Cucamonga Wilderness all to yourself. It's moments like this that are definitely the reason I got into hiking in the first place.
It's 1.5 miles through beautiful alpine terrain until you reach the summit — a rocky outcropping with steep ledges directly to the south. There is a register tucked between some boulders near this old, dead tree:
Sign it, rest up, and head on back the way you came.

Hi Casey, Thanks so much for the great write up. My son and I climbed Ontario and Bighorn Peak on 6/18/16 and took your write up and pictures with us as a guide. It was a splendid hike! Thanks again for taking the time to do this.
Thank you for posting the details for this hike. It was the reason I embarked on this trail over the 2015 Labor Day Weekend.
I hiked up to Kelly Camp, set up my tent and then hiked to Ontario Peak.
Columbine Spring had water trickling, so I filled up and filtered it (though many people don't bother) with my Sawyer Mini.
At Kelly Camp the pipe that sometimes has water was dry. So, be sure to take enough water up there if you plan to stay the night. One fellow camper packed up 11L. I think 3-6L is enough for one person depending on what you are doing and your own personal needs. I took up 3.5L and had plenty for my freeze dried dinner and coffee the next morning along with enough drinking water for the hikes.
One other note, I did get some cell phone coverage on the trails to Ontario and Big Horn. My Verizon service actually picked up full LTE coverage just over the peak and down a bit.
I wrote about my trip, gear I brought and coordinates for the cell phone spot at my blog http://www.leadershipdad.com/backpackcountry-in-los-angeles-ontariobig-horn-peaks-kelly-camp/.
Good luck everyone on your outdoor adventures and I hope you get a chance to take this trail in the near future.
I hiked up to Ontario Peak this past weekend (08/16/2015) and a herd of Bighorn Sheep literally crossed my path on my way down. I was able to snap a few pictures before they leapt up the hillside.
Aside from the views, it's also a great way to escape the 107 degree weather! It was low to mid 70s the whole time up there.
Anyone know what the earliest you can head up on this hike? Planning to do it this weekend.
Mt. Baldy Visitor Center (ranger station) is open at 7 a.m. weekends. Use the restroom there, the vault toilets in the trailhead parking lot are rank. Make sure you're parked by 8 a.m., earlier on Saturdays, or you will have to hike an extra 1/2 to 1 mile from your car to the trailhead. Or you may not find parking at all.
TIP: Bring up a celebratory beer with you when summiting Ontario… there's a bottle opener bolted to the trunk of the old tree.
Any snow on Ontario? The ranger at Mt. Baldy Village said there'd be snow if I tried to go to either Ontario or Cucamonga. I was planning to go to Telegraph Peak, anyway (and I did!).
From Telegraph, I saw virtually no snow on any of the peaks to the south and east. Still a bit on the top of Baldy, of course.
Hey just finished this hike thanks for the post!
Funny story- I open up the logbook at the top of Big horn and I see an entry from Modernhiker.com on 9/1/08 !
sign from heaven to start using your site more often =)
Tanya, that's crazy! Those peaks must not get a lot of foot traffic if the '08 log is still up there :) I knew there was a good reason I started signing those things with my site address!
How early can you get to the trailhead? My group would love to try this hike out…but 2x it to get a sense for what hiking the grand canyon rim to rim would feel like :)
As early as you want, I guess! :)
I enjoyed reading your narrative. My son & I did the same route on 06/007/09. It is a timeless hike. Thanks for sharing.
LoVed this trail!
Did this yesterday. Awesome trip. Definitely plan to come back with a backpack and explore the area more. Thanks for the write up. I loaded your everytrail track into my GPS and used it as a map. Huge help!
-Should note that going east bound on the 210, the exit is Base Line Rd: Left, then first right onto Padua.
-Also, even with relatively no previous precipitation, there was decent water at Columbine Spring, past your last H2O Marker if people can filter/treat.
Great trip report!
Amazing views…

The old way of doing politics is increasingly leaving a lot of people disenchanted and disengaged. Low election turnouts and the apathy of voters often comes down to the conviction that it makes little difference who you elect because the mainstream parties play the same old game by the same old rules.
This in part explains the appeal of Pirate politics. Pirate Parties have been started in over 40 countries. They address the need for a new type of participatory politics.
The pirate party idea got its start when the Swedish Piratpartiet was founded in 2006. In 2009 European Pirate Parties agreed on a common declaration of goals:
- reform of copyright, exemption of non-commercial activity from copyright regulation, reduction of the duration of copyright protections; banning of DRM technologies, opposition to media or hardware levies;
- reform of patent law, particularly stating that patents on life (including patents on seeds and on genes) and software should not be allowed;
- strengthening civil rights, transparent government, speedy and fair trial and freedom of speech; expansion of the right to anonymity in communication.
In the European Parliament election of 2009 the Swedish Pirate Party received 7.1 percent of the votes, winning two seats and achieving the first major success of a Pirate Party in an election. The German Pirate Party managed to win 8.9 percent of the votes in the Berlin state election, 2011.
The German Pirate Party is self-described as the "party of the information society." In common with Pirate Parties elsewhere, it wants to see greater emphasis placed on transparency and civic participation.
Der Spiegel:
Take, for example, "LiquidFeedback," the Pirate Party's Internet voting software, which can give a greater voice to the individual than other parties have done until now. Or "Mumble," a voice conference program that allows Pirates to participate in discussions with just about anyone from the comfort of their own homes -- as long as they have a computer, an Internet connection, a microphone and loudspeakers.
The German Pirates surprised a lot of people with their showing in parliamentary elections in the Berlin state election in 2011 when they got 8.9% of the vote. In upcoming parliamentary elections in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein the Pirates stand to take between 6 to 8% of the vote based on poll projections.
In Canada the Pirate Party was registered with Elections Canada in 2010. The Canadian Party advocates intellectual property reform, network neutrality and greater government openness.

We're at a point in our society where being smart is becoming more and more valued. Hollywood films are featuring smarter heroes, TV shows try to shame people who are dumber than a fifth grader, we elected a smarter president, etc. Unfortunately, every time something becomes cool, a lot of people are in such a hurry to jump on the bandwagon that they focus on the outer trappings and don't put in the work. In this case, trying really hard to look smart without focusing on learning or thinking.

Why study when you can just put on some glasses and look at people real serious like?
The biggest problem is that there's a lot of different kinds of smart, and we can't all be good at all of them. Some people just panic and think there's only two groups of people -- the smart and the dumb. The cool and the uncool. These people might be smart in some ways, but they feel like they have to exaggerate those ways and fake being smart in all the other ways in order to not fall into the "dumb" category, which really really terrifies them.
But pulling these stunts just backfires terribly, like when people try to:

There are also hilariously inappropriate times, like during sex, or to prove you are the smartest person in an argument.
Now, maybe this is just me being silly, but I'm pretty sure that you show you are smart in an argument by being correct. Sure, the issue being argued might be murky and debatable, but the facts you use to back up your side can be obviously right or wrong. For example, if you claim that China is not going to stay a dominant economic power because the Chinese economy relies on a barter system where everything is paid for in chopsticks, you are obviously wrong, because we all know things are paid for in fish balls.
Via Benjwong
If people pointed out you were literally, factually wrong about China's currency, you probably would back off and be a bit embarrassed, like a normal person, but some people somehow think they can keep up the bluff by pulling out academic credentials. "You may have an encyclopedia showing that China has actual paper currency, but I have a PhD in economics! And I graduated at the top of my class!"
These people are confused about how credentials work. In the real world, we show our GPA, test scores, and degrees to get into a school or a job, and those set up the expectation that we'll do a good job or succeed in the program. But then we actually have to do the job, or the coursework. Once you have fucked up and covered the $100 million genomics lab in burnt peanut butter or something, nobody is going to care about how many letters you have after your name. They are just going to assume you got them by fraud.
You think they would have caught this earlier.
This is exactly the same in everyday life. No matter how many credentials you have showing you were smart in the past, if you are insisting that adamantium is an element on the periodic table or explaining that cats have six legs, you are being visibly and provably stupid in the present. Even if you can convince people you once taught Stephen Hawking everything he knows, they are just going to shake their head sadly and wonder what tragic accident took away your mental faculties since then.
Brag About Personality Test Results
The average human being isn't flexible enough to fellate themselves. That's why we have personality tests. Myers-Briggs personality test results are horoscopes for people who think they are too smart to fall for horoscopes. The actual test just gives you a set of 4 letters, but additional layers of the system give each type an insultingly flattering label like, "The Mastermind," or "The Champion."

This could be you!
That's an improvement on traditional horoscopes, where you could end up being a "Cancer," if you're not lucky. But no, every Myers-Briggs personality type sounds awesome and special, which is probably totally unrelated to how popular the Myers-Briggs personality test is.

Notice nobody ever tells you that seeing a butterfly in an inkblot means you're a misunderstood genius.
Even though every personality type description focuses on how awesome you are, some have special focus on how smart you are, such as the INTJ type:
Often intellectual, they enjoy analysis and complex problem-solving, and are much less comfortable with the illogical and unpredictable nature of other people and their emotions. They may not want to bother with people who they do not perceive to be their intellectual equals. ...the INTJ often has a unique ability to foresee logical outcomes.
This is even more convenient than taking the SAT to show how smart you are because, let's face it, answering personality test questions is not rocket science. You don't need to have a speck of knowledge in any field or discipline, you just need to be able to answer questions while pretending you are Data or Spock from Star Trek.
Via Getty Images
"Well, I DO 'easily see the general principle behind specific occurrences'. I bet no one else answered yes to that!"
Aside from the fact that most psychologists feel the test has "the intellectual content of a fortune cookie," you run into the same problems as with academic credentials. Nothing from outside is going to make you look smart if you can't actually be smart in front of people.

Today, a kid got his hand stuck inside my store's giant gumball machine. He started crying, and his negligent train-wreck of a mom bitched me out for being "unobservant." I'd been mopping up the mess she'd made after she spilled an open can of beer all over the floor. FML

MINSK, (BelTA) – According to the National Bank, since the beginning of the year Belarus' gold and foreign exchange reserves increased by $40.8 million, or 0.5%, from $7915,9 million as of 1 January to $7956,7 million as of 1 May in IMF terms, BelTA learnt from the Information Office of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus.
In national terms the gold and foreign exchange reserves amounted to $9,510.2 million, up $123 million since 1 January 2012, or by 1.3%.
However, in April, for the first time this year, the gold and forex reserves of Belarus declined by 1.6%, or $128.5 million in IMF terms. According to the National Bank, the decline was due to the repayment of the country's internal and external obligations in foreign currency. The obligations of the National Bank worth more than $400 million were fulfilled ahead of schedule.
Belarus' gold and foreign currency reserves in IMF terms are projected to make up $7.92 -8.33 billion as of 1 January 2013, the National Bank informs.

Los Grinding of Mis Gearos Veinticinco Anos Cuatro: Grinding of the Quarter Life Gears IV
By Jayce Scott · July 6, 2010
Okay, I am a lost cause. Even Rosetta Stone language software cannot help me learn Spanish. I took two years of it in high school. I was born and raised in Texas. I attended four semesters of Spanish in college. I use the word attend loosely. I mean I was there sometimes, but mucho cervezas muy make my cabeza hurt.
Still, I should not gripe too much. There is always good old fashioned English right? It's sure to be winner forever. How do you say, "Spare some change in Mandarin?"
But, I can gripe about what grinds my quarter life gears for a little while longer in the Queen's tongue. So here goes…
What the fudge people? What the f'ing fudge?
Cause of the Month
It has been going on for years, but now I am just about ground down. The Hippies started it, never finished anything or probably made it worse. And now we are all guilted into some sort of cause, donate, give up this or that, save this animal or that culture, volunteer, etc. I first noticed it when I was a kid making a tuna fish sandwich. Dolphin Safe was on the label. Okay…I like dolphins so that was pretty cool. Peanut butter came next and everyone's deadly allergy. Few years went by and I got the old veal parmesan lecture. Finally, the other day I got busted not using soy cheese on my grilled cheese. Quarter lifing is hard enough. I do not want to worry about the Earth, Mother Nature or my soul when all I want is a sandwich! Leave me alone cause of the month.
Shortening Words
Why is it we have to do this? I might be out of the loop here, but some office mate of mine told me she was skipping out early to go get a mani and a pedi. I am also a little slow, but I thought she just blew her cover and revealed she was getting a pap smear. Quarter Lifers? Not everything has to be put in text-ease. Spell and pronounce the beautiful gift of the English language. As long as we have it until at least 2015 when Pelosi outlaws it in the San Francisco is the New Capital of the USA Act.
The Next This or That…
Top model. Top Chef. Next Food Network Star. Next American Idol. I am fast approaching 30. I want some real "nexts!" The next man on the moon. The next step forward in cloning (I want a baby wooly mammoth.) The next great step from bread, pancake, waffle, crepe…to what? Give me something real to look forward to in my mid life.
Cell Phones
Yes that is such a 1996 thing to say, but I think it is about time to bring it back into the forefront of Quarter Lifing. I am pretty sure none of us have that much to say to anyone at anytime. The cell phone companies do not even bother using KY with their fees. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from texting? And here is the clincher. Harvard Medical Journal report: They swabbed 3000 cell phones for bacteria, viruses, toxins, etc. Top five things they found. Staph, MRSA, Strep, fecal matter and E Coli. And I love this…three other bacteria that had previously never been seen by human eyes. They actually discovered new life growing in the makeup residue, head grease pools of cell phone primordial ooze. Ergo, put the cell up every once in a while or at least clean it.
Not that I am for smoking. I just am tired of being ¼ life legislated about my behaviors. Hell, if the Prez can get away with a smoke, snort or toke. See Obama, Bush and Clinton in that order of addictions. I, too, can choose my way of ¼ life dos and do nots.
Red Carpet
OMG! Look at that spoiled flavor of the month actor in their donated designer dress, costume jewels, $2000 hairdo, etc. The Golden Globes starts off the awards season and like the NBA playoffs they take about 3 months to go through. Bring to the game the addition of a new award show on Fox every year…and this is ridiculous. ¼ Lifers! Find your own red carpet, your own way to physical, mental, emotional, professional red carpet success!
Appliances Being Plush
QL's have been hit up with more marketing trends than any other generation. Madison Avenue is plugging happiness on our apps to now sides of public school buses. They all sell happiness in material goods. Now I find out that you too can spend more on your washer and drier than a car. Front loading, sleek design, fashionable colors, a computer smarter than Stephen Hawkins. It's a washer and dryer folks. The place where all your "dirty laundry" goes. On the tour of the house ladies do you now show how well off you and hubby are doing by showing the laundry room? What next? "Here is our bathroom. These are actually imported Venetian porcelain eco flush toilets." Golf clap from your dinner party guests.
Hand Sanitizer Stations
They are everywhere. And I know people are dirty and babies are little Petri dishes of colds, flu and poop. And I realize there is a new disease every week that will boil out your eyeballs, eat your skin and flat line you in three seconds. But, have we also forgotten how to wash our hands? I cannot tell you how many times the television, radio, doctor…and even the captain on a cruise I went on this past year lectured about hand washing. Quarter Lifers. You do know how to wash your paws right? Warm water + soap + time under the faucet (Say the Pledge of Allegiance twice) + rinse + dry with a clean paper towel. Do this or we will all have to soon wear HazMat suits just to hold hands.
Spiral Notebook Paper Leftovers
You know what I mean. You pull that crappy piece of paper off. All the leftovers. You end up picking out pieces from in between the spring and off the floor. Man they are enough to make me actually go buy an IPad and spend about 30 hours programming the stuff I just penciled into the notebook, tore off and threw in the garbage can.
So, there we go. Uno through diaz of mi muy importante gripes and no bueno likes. But, as I reread this, I realize I am a very tense person. I really should let go of these hang ups. Let fewer things grind my gears and get on with a more healthy outlook on my quarter life.
Nah…just jacking with ya. I am off to pound a few cervezas. Hasta!

Merging several documents into once document in Word 2010
I'm helping a friend format an edited volume for submission to the publisher. I have 12 chapters, each with different formatting. I need to put them all into one document, in order, and remove all the formatting quirks from chapters 2-12 so that they match the formatting of chapter 1. Is this possible? [more inside]
What is this Chinese website?
When I click on the 'Manage Account' button in the Account settings menu in my copy of Word 365, it launches a new web page - stores.office.com - where I can then log-in to my account. All straightforward. But at the same time a separate tab is also launched for the site www.59e.com, which is all in Chinese. What is this? I'm in the UK, using Firefox.
Linking Excel data to Word docs: Portability?
I'm using Excel and Word 2007. Created Excel docs, created Word docs, certain cells in the Excel docs have data that must be embedded in the Word docs. This has been discussed here before, but only the method of creating these links (which was my method) but I'm just checking to see if anybody knows how to make this work when you move the document. All the links appear to be hardcoded absolute links to the Excel doc. Works fine on my PC, breaks on yours. Any way to get this functionality to be portable? [more inside]

Word on Mac can't handle feedback

Learning to use VBA
I have read that John Walkenbach's books are the de-facto standard for learning to use VBA in Microsoft Excel. I'd like to know what books are recommended to learn to use vba in other Office products - primarily Access, but also Word and Powerpoint. I'm more interested in books than in websites.
How can I select pre-written paragraphs to insert into letter?
I have a scenario where I have to evaluate work performance. There are 5 categories I'm evaluating. Now when the person fails to meet a benchmark, I want to send him a letter explaining why he didn't meet the benchmark. So I have 5 paragraphs (one for each category) that explains what was wrong and how to fix it. Instead of copying and pasting from a document to create the letter, I'd like to be able to select from a list of responses, and have those responses formatted in a letter form.

Will allow rows (the form will be arranged like a table) to be duplicated/copied & pasted, including the form fields contained within those rows. 4.

1209: Continuous monitoring during transport is essential for assessing stress in pigs and sheep
This paper is taken from research by Mitchell MA, Kettlewell PJ, Villarroell M, Farish M and Harper E: "Remote physiological monitoring of livestock: assessment of stress in transit to improve welfare." delivered at this year's British Society of Animal Science's annual conference, held at Queen's University, Belfast
Year of Publication2011
Transport times of 8 hours at high ambient temperatures of 32ºC do not appear to increase core body temperature in pigs and lambs, probably due to cooling by convection in the moving vehicle, although continuous monitoring is important.

With protective yet responsive underfoot cushioning, the New Balance XC900 is a flat intended for 5k to 10k cross country racing.
The New Balance XC900 is a racing shoe for the 5k to 10k distances. Soft yet supportive overlays on the upper wrap your foot securely, and the thin midsole is light and responsive for speed on the course. The lugged outsole can tackle just about any surface that gets in its way.
Model Number:
Weight: 4.8 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (22mm), Forefoot (16mm), non-removable insole
How It Fits (based on width D) Width D=Medium
Product Lifecycle
The M900XC spikeless is a minimum featured shoe designed for competition in cross country. It is intended for XC racing and built with a curved shape.
Comments: At first when I saw this shoe I was happy to purchase it because I am a big fan of New Balance. Also, I liked how they were spikeless because I personally do not prefer to wear spikes. On the bad side, this is one of the worst things to ever happen to me. Because these shoes have very poor support of any point on the bottom of the foot, I highly believe these shoes are the reason for why I got Patellofemoral dysfunction. After one race wearing the New Balance 900XC spikeless, I'm now out for the entire cross country season due to the injury it caused. I was sad to find out that such a quality brand had such a low-quality shoe.
