John Rensten.
John Rensten (that's me) lived and worked and foraged in London for 20 years before finally escaping to Dorset, via Hampshire, in 2016 to concentrate on my mushroom hunting and coastal foraging. Despite now living in a more rural part of the county, I still run and organise numerous urban foraging events, wild food walks and mushroom forays, some hosted by myself and some other very wonderful and extremely knowledgable people that I have "collected" along the way.
In 2004, with a good friend, I opened a successful gastro pub, The Green, in Clerkenwell EC1 and soon found that I could combine my love of foraging wild food with my enthusiasm for running a busy eatery. Actually it was the perfect excuse to get me away from the hectic side of the business and get some more peaceful time in the woods foraging for wild mushrooms or by the coast collecting seaweeds and wild plants. We started to add various foraged foods to the menu. Initially I picked lots of delicious wild edible mushrooms, my hobby for a few years previously, also plants like wild garlic and sorrel that I gathered each Easter in Devon and our chef used to make wild garlic mash or garlic and sorrel soup. Sea-beet from Dorset was always popular too and soon we had the menu dotted with wild foraged treats, wild fennel, rose hips, elderberries, samphire, borage, mallow and various seaweeds.
I don't have the pub anymore but since then, and on a daily basis, I study wild food, pick wild food, obsess about wild food and love sharing what I have leant, running city foraging walks and taking groups mushroom hunting in The New Forest or combing the seashore in Dorset.
I've set up Forage London to give city dwellers like myself a chance to enjoy and discover some of the amazing wild foods that grow all around us. I hope you enjoy this site and that you come on one of my walks soon.
James Grant.
Qualified bush craft instructor James Grant runs regular events for Forage London. James was first inspired by wild food at the age of 6 by his great-grandmother taking him out to pick blackberries, sloes and field mushrooms. Around the same age, he also went fishing for the first time, a pursuit he has never tired of and his love for outdoor activity was born. With careers in design and the music business behind him, James now teaches foraging and bush craft skills full time. He see's foraging as the widest reaching skill within the field of bush craft whether utilised to procure wild food, materials for craft and shelter, camp apparatus or to spot signs of animals. Fungi are an obsession of James' and he entered into teaching as an assistant with Ashdown Forage and Truffle and Mushroom Hunter before setting up on his own. In 2015 James was part of a group of professional foraging teachers who founded the Association of Foragers – an international professional foragers association, promoting sustainability and ecological stewardship through the teaching and harvesting of wild plants and fungi for use as food, drink and medicine. James is also a member of the British Mycological Society, The Coracle Builders Association, holds a level 4 Bushcraft Leader certificate.
Ken Greenway.
Come Dine with Me winner, Kenneth (Ken) Greenway not only has a smashing beard, he is a man of numerous talents and multiple jobs. Not only does he work as the Manager of Tower Hamlets Cemetry Park (THCP), one of London's most amazing nature reserves, he is also an accredited Humanist celebrant, Horticulture Manager for Grounded Ecotherapy and the course leader on Forage London's fabulous event 'Wild Food, Wild Nature'. Ken studied Environmental Biology at the University of Greenwich and has worked at THCP since 2002 where he has developed his intimate knowledge of the site as well as his passion for wild food and foraging. THCP nature reserve is one of London's magnificent seven Victorian cemeteries, with an extraordinary diversity of both woodland and meadow plants, closed to burials since 1966 and a designated public park and Local Nature Reserve a short walk from Mile End Tube Station in E3.
Kim Walker & Vicky Chown.
Kim Walker & Vicky Chown met whilst studying Herbal Medicine at the University of Westminster, became friends and set up Handmade Apothecary as a way to share herbal medicine with local communities. They now work from their own narrow boat, travelling across London and beyond, using the plants they find along the way to create healing remedies & recipes.
Yorkshire born, Kim was brought up in the wild and beautiful West coast of Scotland in an ancient woodland where her love of plants was first nurtured. Kim went on to study a BSc & MSc in Herbal medicine research to pursue the love of both history and science. She is now a doctoral student in the history of medicine field in the Economic Botany Collection at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. She is also on the committee of the Herbal History Research Network, the British Society for the History of Pharmacy and is a member of the Association of Foragers. Vicky was born and raised in London. She had a calling to study nature from a young age and didn't let city living get in the way. She began foraging and growing food and medicine as a teenager in any green space she could find – local parks, wastelands, window boxes and back gardens. Her passion for herbs led her to work for Neal's Yard Remedies for 7 years where she developed her extensive knowledge of herbal remedies and natural skin care. This led to teaching foraging and herbal remedy making and working on her own allotment and in an organic permaculture garden where she now grows many of the plants that are used for Handmade Apothecary, food for the Queen's Wood Cafe, Highgate and oversees a community of volunteers. Vicky also sees patients for herbal medicine consultations.
Peter Studzinski.
Peter lives in Hampshire, close to The New Forest. He is passionate about the outdoors and nature and with a Polish father, foraging and wild food were very much part of his upbringing. Peter spent 25 years working at Oxford and then Southampton University but always kept alive his interest in all things wild, more recently on his daily woodland walks with his two energetic Labradors. Deciding to concentrate his efforts on foraging and giving up academia nearly a decade ago, he now finds himself very much in demand as a wild food advisor and supplier to some of the country's top Michelin starred chefs. In the autumn, Peter runs a series of fungi forays for Forage London, exploring the woodland and sharing his knowledge of the new forest and it's numerous edible mushrooms coming from over 30 years of mushroom hunting in the area.
Martin Bailey.
Life long forager Martin Bailey lives in Bristol and has been teaching foraging for the last 5 years. As a child he would patrol the hedgerows and woodland in search of adventure. "I remember the joy of finding Wild Asparagus dotted along the country lanes, plucking Giant Puffballs to take home for my mum to cook and spending hours hollowing out underground dens – the smell of the soil is still so evocative for me today. In my early twenties I moved to Bristol and met other people who shared my passion for wild food. A few years later I started supplying foraged foods to local restaurants and generating a bit of income from my foraging. It was wonderful to see food I had picked transformed, through the skill and creativity of gifted chefs into gourmet meals. I also began practising Zhan Zhuang Chi Kung; Standing Like a Tree – you may want to look that one up! This experience has given me an increased awareness of subtle changes in the environment; a vital attribute for any forager. My journey with wild food has led me to all kinds of interesting places, as well as people and I find it hugely rewarding to teach and to share my experiences and love for foraging with others."
The Edible City : a year of wild food.
So, while you're here….You might like to read the introduction to my book, The Edible City – a year of wild food, which explains a lot of the reasons that I became obsessed and why I think that now, more than ever, this is a very relevant activity for anyone living in a city.
I can think of nothing more fulfilling than cooking with food that I have foraged. To feed yourself and those you care about with ingredients
sourced by your own hands is to rekindle a relationship with nature,
and the simple act of gathering our own food is the way man has existed
for the majority of time on this planet. Although this isn't an activity
that most people associate with living in a twenty-first-century city, I'm
sure this book will change the way you look at where you live and allow
you to share in some of the wonderful edible experiences that the city
has to offer.
It was almost two decades ago that I was properly bitten by the
foraging bug, and since then not a day goes by that I don't pick wild
food, study wild food and generally obsess about all things related to
wild food. I love sharing what I've learnt, running urban foraging walks,
taking groups mushroom hunting in the countryside or combing the
seashore. For eight years I ran a busy restaurant and revelled in the task
of sourcing wild ingredients from outside the city to add to the menu.
Eventually I realized that my greatest foraging pleasures were to be found
far closer to home and turned my focus onto the place in which I lived.
Don't be concerned if the idea of eating foraged food in the city feels
unsettling at first (take a look at the section on page 261 where we go
through all the dos and don'ts, common-sense rules, safety, hygiene and
legality to put your mind at rest). I'm certainly not advocating that you
only eat foraged foods – even I don't have time for a totally wild diet. I
fit the majority of my foraging into short bursts, shoehorned in between
working and looking after my young son. Rather, I want you to see how
foraged foods can make an incredible addition to the sorts of meals you
are already cooking and eating.
More than simply the good eating it affords, putting on your foraging
goggles will transform your city surroundings, from somewhere to
be hurried through, to a place to be lingered over. Where previously
you'd notice a patch of stinging nettles to sidestep, I want you to see
the opportunity to make delicious wild tempura; rather than avoiding
that tree that drops annoyingly sticky petals on your car, I hope you'll
spot the chance to make a spring blossom champagne. And that clump
of weeds – it doesn't need clearing, but rather identifying and then
incorporating into some wild spring rolls or sushi.
Time spent foraging is as relaxing as it is absorbing; like taking a deep
breath, it can bring a feeling of calm to an otherwise frenetic city. Simply
walking from my house to the nearest station has become a voyage of
discovery, a multi-sensory experience and a treasure hunt, during which I
find myself smiling rather a lot.
The standard definition of foraging is this: 'the act of looking or
searching for food or provisions'. The basics are simple and easy to learn,
with a good sense of smell being more important than the ability to
memorize hundreds of Latin names and complicated plant diagrams.
My approach is to take the tiniest bit of knowledge and put it to
multiple uses; so simply being able to identify a dandelion will provide
countless, year-round foraging opportunities and produce culinary
delights as diverse as a caffeine-free coffee, a mid-summer wine, roasted
winter root vegetables and spring salads, all from just one, very easy to
identify, common as you like, 'weed'.
You can use this book however you prefer; read it from front to back,
all in one go, or dip in sporadically when you have a free moment,
heading for the current month, or just pick an ingredient or recipe at
random and modify it to suit what's in season or whatever you currently
have access to. Necessity is often called the mother of invention, but
availability, for foragers at least, is where the real inspiration lies. The
type of cooking that comes from using foraged ingredients is naturally
creative, inventive and ad hoc. These won't be the kind of recipes where
things are always measured precisely; 'a handful' is often about as
accurate as I get.
There are no real rules, other than avoiding the plants that aren't
edible or for whatever reason are not safe to eat, but with enthusiasm
and some common sense, a magical side of the city and its hidden larder
is waiting to be discovered, probably right on your doorstep. I hope this
book takes you on your own food journey, even if it just means you pay
a bit more attention to the plants in your local park. With a little effort,
it will allow you to begin viewing the city as I do, as a constant source of
wonder, an ongoing education and a provider of almost daily inspiration.
If foraging teaches us anything, it's to enjoy and celebrate what is
available, not to hanker after what is not.
Where to forage.
I live in London and much of the foraging I describe occurs there, but
the majority of the plants I pick are in no way specific to the south-east
or even the UK. Almost all of them are freely available across northern
Europe, actually right across the northern temperate zone, which spans
the globe, taking in countries as diverse as North America and Japan.
Every country has its own common or local names for these plants,
in fact most of them have many variations, so I've supplied the Latin
names, which are always useful to refer back to in case of any confusion
(pages 247–50). Once you start to look, you'll see the real problem is not
finding food to forage for but choosing between so many options. On
a spring walk through the unremarkable city park nearest to my house
I can easily find lemon balm, spearmint, primrose, white nettle, poppy
and yarrow growing at my feet, while above me are avenues of mulberry,
hazel, elder, linden, cherry plum and hawthorn trees. Is my local park
a particularly outstanding place? Well, yes and no. It has all the things
I look for: a mix of well-kept and clean areas, combined with some
intentionally 'wild' patches and a few less-intentional ones, interesting
tree planting and a decent-sized lake, pond or waterway (the border of
which is not overly managed). Basically it ticks all the foraging boxes but
is no different from another hundred city parks I can think of, so for me,
my local park is outstanding, not just for my purposes but for the many
other ways in which it provides for the local and wider community.
From this one square mile of almost central London, I have
identified, collected and eaten nearly 200 different edible plants, many
of them giving me multiple crops spread out across the year.
In this book, I take you in detail through sixty of the most common
and tastiest, but I reference many, many more.
The plants themselves fall into two, totally non-botanical groups.
First, the genuine wild plants, unconcerned with the patchwork of
grey blobs that make up the view of London on Google Earth; they are
opportunistically able to grow anywhere, colonize a patch of turnedover
soil at a moment's notice or barge their way up through cracks in
the pavement. Wild plants don't need looking after, don't need feeding,
pruning, watering or tending to in any way; robust, hardy, militant, were
we to cease to be, I have no doubt that they would reclaim the city at
a startling speed. The second group are the 'unintentionally' edible or
medicinal plants, favoured for planting by both current and Victorian
park and town planners, often forming entire avenues of trees or huge
lines of bushes. The end result of all this intentional planting – coupled
with the prolific growth of wild plants and feral/garden escapees, all
thriving in the microclimate that is Greater London – is a huge area of
natural diversity, as fertile and bountiful as anywhere else in the country.
Once turned on, your 'green vision' will be impossible to turn off;
otherwise neglected street trees will suddenly bear fruit, patches of
previously irrelevant land will become focal points and the city will
reveal a network of free, edible treats, coming and going throughout the
year. Things are never as they seem at the first glance and to really see
what is in front of us, we need to learn how to look and what to look
for. Do this and the buildings, the cars, the streets and the shades of grey
will all fade away to be replaced by a vibrant, fertile landscape, full to the
brim with sweet smells, strong flavours and bright colours.
Why forage?
Why indeed, should we be interested in eating any of these plants,
with so much food available to us in the city? I can think of a hundred
reasons, emotional as well as physical, and most of them will crop
up repeatedly in the pages of this book, but for now, let's just look
at nutrition and a simple, irrefutable statement of fact. Wild food is
superfood. To clarify this it's important to define what's actually meant
by 'superfood', especially as it's one of those popular terms that get
overused by companies trying to market 'healthy' foods. It gives you
some idea of how far the food industry has wandered from the path
these days that the notion of food being good for you is a distinct
selling point, rather than a given. At the same time, 400 generations of
farming and a global obsession with growing and eating grains has left
us with food that travels well, lasts ages, resists bruising, looks amazing
and very often tastes of little to nothing. Since the mid-1950s, when
the responsibility for processing and preparation of the majority of our
food began to move out of the domestic kitchen and into the hands of
big businesses, we have become ever increasingly separated from what
we eat. The points of origin, provenance and methods of creation are
often unknown and the techniques involved in turning the raw produce
of grains, fruits, vegetables and livestock into the meals we ultimately
consume are, to most of us, very mysterious.
Furthermore, the vitamins, minerals, proteins, nutrients, fibre,
antioxidants and thousands of other phyto-nutrients (more about these
later), have been bred out and replaced with our favourite legal high,
sugar, to the point where the vast majority of the fruit and veg available
to us is utterly stuffed with carbs, and not much else. I'm not claiming
this is all the result of a huge global conspiracy – at least it wasn't initially
– it's just that we like sweet things and as a result we have favoured
varieties that give us what we want. I know a respected botanical
nutritionist who describes sweetcorn, a plant, like so many, that bears
utterly no resemblance to its ancestors, as 'Nature's own Mars Bar'. But
then again, we wouldn't want to eat Neolithic sweetcorn, a tough and
stony little thing.
Fortunately, like traditional hunter-gatherers, we can go back to
nature, where all the wonderful nutrition we need is still waiting for us
in abundance and all we have to do is take it. When people talk about
a 'superfood', what they're referring to is anything that is extremely rich
in minerals and vitamins, particularly beneficial to health and which
contains much higher levels of antioxidants and enzymes than other
foods, hence being excellent at supporting digestion, promoting healing,
detoxification and nutrient absorption, aiding fertility and maintaining
general good health. A few of the very common ingredients described
as superfoods that are available in the shops include garlic, blueberries,
rose hips, dark leafy greens, turmeric, cinnamon and flax. These could be
joined by another fifteen to twenty items that are part of our commercial
food chain, but were I to write a list of wild superfoods it would be
pretty much endless. It's not that I'm anti mass-production; when
massive cities have massive appetites, I appreciate that the food has to
come from somewhere, but when over 60 per cent of the world's calories
now come from just four crops (wheat, corn, rice and potatoes) isn't
there room for some more variety in our diets, regardless of the apparent
range of choice available to us in the city? Obviously these are big issues,
where the problems and their solutions are political, and this is a wild
food diary, not a selection of hidden agendas, so I won't be climbing
onto my soap box . . . much.
All wild food, however, is superfood: nettles are over 30 per cent plant
protein and full of iron and calcium; rose hips have, weight for weight,
twenty times the vitamin C of oranges; hazelnuts have five times the
protein of eggs; and just one teaspoon of seeds from ribwort plantain,
probably the most common and widespread plant I know, has as much
fibre as a whole bowl of porridge. I could go on (and on), but none of
this would be of much use to anyone if the wild food we picked and ate
didn't taste great, and it does, it really does. If my years running a busy
London restaurant taught me one thing, it's this: flavour is king, and if
your ingredients already taste wonderful, then simple cooking and good
presentation are really all they need.
How to forage.
'Grazing' is the loose title I have given to what I do in the city; sampling
numerous plants, herbs and other wild foods, but mostly in small
amounts, experiencing new flavours and learning how these change
with the seasons rather than trying to gather armfuls of one plant when
it's at its best or most obvious. The city parks and pretty much all of
our urban green spaces are not common land, but privately owned and
managed areas that we are allowed access to, and, leaving the politics
of land ownership aside, if we want to forage in these areas, we must
respect this, just as we do numerous other guidelines that allow us to
coexist in such close proximity to so many other people. Obviously, it's
up to the individual, but this is my take on how to treat these places,
not to ever take for granted the effort that goes into making them as
wonderful as they are.
On all of the foraging walks I organize, the idea of taking whatever
knowledge we already have, however small, and gradually adding to it
through gentle repetition and multiple encounters with the same plants,
is a recurrent theme, a process as far removed from academic study as I
can make it. Learn just two or three new plants a month, all of which
will have multiple crops and overlapping seasons, and you have access
to nearly a hundred edible wild foods, spread throughout the year. My
strategy is to make a small amount of knowledge yield a big reward.
Through this simple approach I've learnt more about nature, foraging,
botany, nutrition, ecology and numerous other topics from the one
square mile of city greenery that makes up my local park than I have
from the rest of the entire country. And how? Proximity and gentle
repetition, that's how. I find it slightly corny to call foraging an art but it
does take a very specific skill set, best learnt over an extended period of
time, and although later I'll help you learn to identify fifty wild edible
plants in just ten minutes (that's all the UK's wild members of the Mint
family), this knowledge is the culmination of numerous other things,
including many repeated visits to the same places, passing and observing
the same plants in all their different stages of growth, the changes of the
seasons and how these affect what is, and what isn't, available.
Take this approach to learning and I guarantee you will
simultaneously learn how to forage, to become aware of the seasons,
the 'micro-seasons' within them, and to look at the city as a network
of periphery, borders and edges, not just blocks of adjoining land but
overlapping environments that offer increased diversity, fertility and
opportunity. Once we can ID just a small selection of plants and become
familiar with them, their habitats and the visual and physical changes
they undergo throughout the year, we reach a point where the botany
is almost irrelevant and what remains is a form of recognition akin to
spotting a good friend a hundred feet away in a crowd of people.
When we start to investigate the extraordinary array of wild flavours
the city has to offer, it soon becomes apparent that rather than living in
a place where food remains separated from our day-to-day environment,
we are actually surrounded by it: tasty, healthy and hiding in plain sight.
Nature not only becomes a vast impulse-purchase section, but one
where everything is free and the products are healthy and nutritious. The
lemony tang of wild sorrel, the sour-sweetness of wild plums, the joy of
finally beating the squirrels to a few hazelnuts and the sheer delight of
tasting the first lime blossoms of the year – it's all there for us, it's free,
it's fun and it's absolutely delicious.

Professor Richard Dawkins, controversial author and evolutionary biologist known for his books The Selfish Gene and The God Delusion, visited St Andrews on 16 September. The event opened the St Andrews Literary Festival, during which he discussed his latest book, A Brief Candle in the Dark, the second volume of his autobiography. The first volume, An Appetite for Wonder, was published in 2011.
Hosted by Topping & Co. and chaired by Professor Andrew Whiten, there was standing room only in Younger Hall as it was it was packed with people eager to hear him speak. I got into a very vibrant discussion with the two girls sitting either side of me, both of whom were also students. One of them was a fan of Dawkins' work, and explained to me how reading his books had led to her to be more inquisitive about science and religion, whereas the other girl was definitely not a fan, saying that she found his views to be offensive and rude.
Those expecting an intense science versus religion debate were left, for the most part, disappointed since the talk focused mainly on the period of Dawkins' life chronicled in the book. Dawkins began by thanking the University (where his daughter studied a degree in Medicine) for welcoming him before he and Professor Whiten read excerpts from his book, which included anecdotes from his career.
Some were funny, such as the time a Japanese translator misinterpreted the word "vehicle" as "taxi", leading him to give an interview in the back of a taxi, as it was what they believed to be the subject of his work. Some involved both humour and seriousness, such as the tale of his friend who, upon having both legs amputated, wished to have them buried in Kenya. The only way of doing this, however, was to stow them in his hand luggage, which naturally caused quite a stir going through the X-ray machine at airport security.
The narrations were a warm and funny opportunity to engage the audience, but they provided a contrast to the discussion of religion and atheism they took place at the very end. Remaining patient and impartial, he discussed pre-selected questions from the audience, which tackled matters such as the morality of assigning a child with his or her parents' religion.
The evening was rounded off by an opportunity to (albeit briefly) meet Richard Dawkins. Seemingly genuinely pleased to meet every attendee individually, he smiled sincerely as he signed my copy of his book. Among the audience, there were those who supported his views, and those who wholeheartedly did not. The only thing they must agree on, however, is that Dawkins' ideas invoke much food for intelligent thought, providing not only an opportunity for audience members to further explore their own views but also to have a better understanding of those that contrast them too.

Design statement
Melbourne's $1 billion Royal Children's Hospital uses innovative and evidence-based design principles to reflect changing healthcare practices, workplace patterns, user expectations, community aspirations and environmental responsibility. The overall design of the interiors is underpinned by the therapeutic benefits of nature in the healing process. The design story is derived from forms, patination and colour that have been mapped directly from the natural world to form an enriching and restorative environment for children, staff and the public. Considered detailing invites the human touch and de-institutionalizes the hospital genre. At the heart of the hospital is the six-storey Main Street, a naturally lit public thoroughfare that links all the elements of the hospital together and seamlessly integrates it with the parkland beyond. The approach to colour is intrinsically linked to the wayfinding strategy, which celebrates the many landscapes that make up the state of Victoria. Colours derived from the environment define each level and have been applied in a coordinated approach, from signage through to environmental graphics, paint, joinery, vinyl, furniture and soft furnishings. The result is an engaging and coherent, joyful and uplifting range of interiors.
Jury comment
The quality of awarded projects in the primary categories was very high. In presenting the award for Interior Design Excellence and Innovation for 2012 to the Royal Children's Hospital, the jury wishes to also acknowledge the excellence of Vue de Monde in setting a new standard for Australian design identity.

With all the news this week regarding trade, some stocks just quietly fly under the radar. This week, it was Aflac (AFL). While the market made lower lows almost every day this week, Aflac made its lows on Monday and its high on Friday. I like seeing that relative strength.
The SCTR suggests AFL is a top performer, moving above 75. While Aflac usually performs in line with the $SPX, it recently pushed up in relative strength. If the market needs more time to be defensive here, this chart looks like a stable theme.
I like seeing the PPO momentum indicator turning up after bouncing off the zero level. The stock looks strong and the defensiveness of the insurance sector makes sense. If the PPO was to turn down here and the stock start to fail around $49, I'd let someone else own it.
The stock got very volatile through the spring and fall pullbacks in 2018. I don't know if I want that much volatility in my portfolio, so I'd keep my losses small. While it's been unflappable this week, that duck flaps its wings every now and then.
Good trading,

This is a "stacked focus" image. I took three images, one focused on the foreground, one focused on the poles in the middle, and one focused on the pueblo. I have done this many, many, many times on the images in this blog and always had great results. However, this image just did not stack up properly. To see what I mean, zoom into the right side of the pueblo or the pole in the middle. Zooming in you will see ghost edges. Also, look at the flowers in the lower right corner, these are blurry. I might be able to blame the flower blur on the wind which could shift the flowers between exposures. But I have no explanation for the edges of the poles and pueblo ghosting. I used a tripod and all of the images have the same focal length and exposure settings.
So why include such a technically bad image? Well, I wanted to show that Pecos National Historic Park is definitely worth a visit!
BTW, after spending time in the visitor center, it is possible to drive and park next to the pueblo. Drive out of the parking lot, take the first right, and you can park within yards of where this image was taken.

Cody Judy challenges DEBATE for Ballot Contenders Mike,Sam,& Scott in U.S. Senate Race Utah
As the time for the voters to become familiar with all their choices on Nov. 2nd 2010 draws closer, I would like to extend my invitation to debate all the U.S. Senate Candidates listed on the ballot Mike Lee for Republicans, Sam Granato for Democrats, and Scott Bradley for Constitution Party.
Just a word or two about each.
1- Mr. Scott Bradley believes that non-citzen terroris should be given the same rights as an American Citizen, which I believe pollutes and dilutes the privilege of U.S. Citizenship towards global citzenery.
2- Mr. Sam Granato may be the one candidate that I am just not sure has even read read the Constitution as I have watched a few of his answers interviews. When asked about certain measures he has responded over generally rather then specifically as if 'being our brothers keeper' was his answer to most everything Constitutionally speaking. Well, that is in line with the socialist point and he loves Obama and believes it's a health care ought to be a Constitutional right.
3- Mr. Mike Lee has pretty much laid down the gauntlet on Social Security and Medicare stating "not one more dime" you can see here and for a guy who says he believes in the Constitution sure wants to change it a lot, and never mentions Barack Hussien Obama's lack of Constitutional Qualifications.:
Here is the email I tried to send to Mr.Scott Bradley personally several times with a server error coming up on his 'contact' page. I also tried to tie this to my comment on Connor Boyacks' Connors Connundrums blog, but my comments have been cut off.
So last chance I had was to publically offer this up for discussion to all who might read this. I'm available for a debate.
Dear Mr. Bradley /or/Representatives:
Thank you for running as a candidate for U.S. Senate. I would like the opportunity to debate Mr. Scott Bradley and offer myself available at his convenience as far as time and place.
Personally I believe it will foster greater education, and a debate that both Mike Lee and Sam Granato will probably refuse to attend. If this is appealing to you-
Please contact me with your answer at firstname.lastname@example.com

Connor Boyacks' Questions Answered at Connors Connundrum
Here are a few questions that I found Mike Lee, Sam Granato avoiding that Scott Bradley of the Constitution Party did address. I think they are good questions so I answered them myself as a WRITE-IN CANDIDATE for U.S. Senate here in Utah.
1. What should be done in regards to our current military engagements in the Middle East, and why?
After 911 we were supposed to be after bin Laden, but we went into Iraq. We have a huge investment there now as well as Afghanistan, the longest running war in our history. While many of our politicians believe whole heartedly we should be in the business of nation building and policing, it must be recognized that a common way to wage a long term war against the U.S. is by and through our economy by engaging us in these practices. By and through the demolition of our economy can our Constitution and National Sovereignty come to a precarious halt? I say oh yes it can, and oh yes it has been planned.
As a balance of power, our influence has not promulgated a single nation abroad to adopt our Constitution, nor has the population of those we have supposedly freed and liberated from tyrants acted on any debt of gratitude with repayment of our military and blood. These facts should give us a clue to the fact that we are in some regards supporting tyrants and despotism in a degree that is anti-constitution and does not serve us domestically. We then should act in Congress responsibly under our own Constitution and by that, the People.
Perhaps We The People don't fully understand the problematic despotism that exist among greater thresholds of power, such as China or Russia, and the bases in Afghanistan and Iraq serve a purpose of balance that has served us well? Leaving that open for military advisors and until we knew and understood this exactly however it is easy providence to simply say we shouldn't be sticking our nose in the business of nation building and policing states in a direction that we could hold as subversive to our own Constitution: and if it were an excuse not to engage in those practices, it would seem to serve and save a lot of our own money that could be better put to use in affairs domestically that are in dire straits now and that would give a better rate of return.
To sum it up simply, involvement in the degree we have invested in these wars in the Middle East has netted us, as I would imagine supporters would say an insurance policy of peace. That is to conclude that the same investment made in our people in our country would have been destroyed by those necessarily opposed to us had the foreign investment not occurred; so it was essential not to make the investment domestically.
I personally just don't believe that. I also believe that when we start paving our streets with pure gold we could say something was happening that was right, and that attraction towards that right might be a higher influence to those foreign as they heard and saw the affects of a true liberated, free people, under a Constitution as ours. Who knows, they, under their own God given rights then might consider a closer adoption of our Constitution seriously.
2. What should be done with the Federal Reserve, and why?
Scott Bradley says the Fed should be audited and then done away with. I say why waste the money auditing them first? Congress has the right to coin money, and the Fed simply ought to be responsible to Congress if they were to exist at all. This means I believe no higher authority within the United States ought to exist then by law of our Constitution, who holds ever Congressmen to a standard of qualification, and even holds the President to a line of qualification. Need any more be said to a Federal Reserve who believes an audit or a responsibility to Congress is troublesome?
By their own standards, the Fed has failed us without ramifications to the Glass Segal Act Repeal (GSA) that placed our economy at risk to exactly what happened with the housing bubble, that by the way was created. Yes, the GSA set up a regulatory firewall between commercial and investment bank activities, both of which were curbed and controlled. The Bank Holding Company Act further separated financial activities by creating a wall between insurance and banking. Oddly enough it was in the surplus years of the Clinton Administration that the ground work was laid that would create the housing crisis.
The Federal Reserve basically came out in open rebellion of their own founder Senator Carter Glass, a former Treasury secretary and the founder of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, and the lessons learned in 1933 in the wake of the 1929 stock market crash. There is more safety in the Constitutional Restraints that require a 2/3rd majority to change Amendments than a Fed who resents the implication that they must tell Congress what foreign banks received our money.
3. What is your position on the war on drugs, and the legalization of marijuana?
It's a States Right issue, plain and simply by our Constitution. I know $55,000 to incarcerate a prisoner in an empire building system of incarceration is breaking America's back. It would seem the Federal Statutes imposed upon States in this regard is a form of emotional blackmail forcing States to incarceration standards and the forum to fill up their Prisons. I believe the States can make more sense of this and reduce their incarceration cost and improve their rehabilitation resource centers if the Feds would get out of the way. I think California's bankrupt state-of-economy resounds this with "see what I mean" emphasis.
4. What is the constitutional authority for our current immigration law? What reforms, if any, do you support?
I support Federal Laws living up to the duty of securing our Nation. Ronald Reagan said a Nation without borders is no Nation. How true that is, and with Congress regulating our Sovereignty the least they could do would be to enforce the parameters of our Constitution held in high regard last I checked by the United States, and not held in high regard by any other foreign nation. I do not believe any citizen of the United States wants people in here who are not here on work permits or student visa's.
Illegal immigration is illegal, and I think our citizens have a right to the protection of the United States. When considering work permits for a specific period of time the same consideration we give foreign exchange students, I don't think that is unfair. What I do think is unfair is a disrespect by our own Government for the laws we expect and they are duty bound to uphold in the United States especially in a time of war. It is a dereliction of sanity and domestic tranquility to engage in 2 foreign wars but refuse to maintain the perimeters of the Nation and if any domestic crisis should occur I think it's just compensation to present indictments towards the dereliction of protection of our People, and the commitments of our Constitution, when the least of our borders, considered our front door or those at home, are forsaken or held in low esteem in contrast to the the parameters of any military unit held in a foreign war. Is it not a breach of commons sense to open the front door of your house and then to send the military out to guard the 40 across the street you don't own? Is this not an invitation to catastrophe whilst in the midst of two foreign wars?
5. Do non-citizen terrorists have any constitutional rights?
No, to say they do is to dilute our Constitution, our Borders, and our National Sovereignty to a foreign citizenry who has not done a thing to uphold our standard of freedom and liberty but has done everything to tear it down. Non citizen terrorist are to be treated under the rules of our military courts and Geneva Convention. This affords them protection from those who have captured them to the State and assures as prisoners of war that they will be treated humanely without any adverse discrimination and that their medical needs must be met.
They have no Miranda rights as non-citizens, and those are exclusive to the umbrella of our citizens holding in higher regard the nature of man. To serve a non-citizen terrorist the same constitutional rights as our citizens is a recipe to extrapolate the U.S. Citizen into a Global Citizenry. If the world wants our U.S. Citizen rights, then by all means they can adopt them their selves for they are not foreign to them but are known and perversely dis regarded.
6. Are you for or against term limits, and if for them, in what form?
We have them, they are called elections. Term limits further deliberated outside our Constitution were known and rejected by our forefathers as not a solution to the problems that people champion them to be.
7. Is a balanced budget inherently problematic, or only because it may possible trigger a constitutional convention?
Our Constitution if it is adhered to affords and in fact champions a balanced budget. While the reasons for going in debt such as war and protection have been diluted by Congress, The People retain the rights to vote out of office those who offer such poor counsel for our Country as to consistently waste our treasury on poor investments.
8. How should tariffs be used? How do you define economic protectionism, and do you support it?
We must return to a balance of our trade with all nations squarely in order to implement domestic solvency. To discriminate with the degree of righteousness as in MFN status, has polluted our Tariff power while we have shipped off shore our jobs and independence. One could look at this as if to say this nation is better than this nation as far as human rights but no nation has adopted our Constitution so they all fall short. We are not in the business with commerce to govern nations accepting with the use of declared embargos. Embargoes can lose their leverage with a dilution of trade, so it would sure up embargo power if we would quit discriminating among nations who all fall short of our Constitution and implement our Tariff Power indiscriminately as Congress sees fit leveling the playing field.
I believe we could sure up in this way the decision of Corporations to assume the advantages in keeping factories here rather than shipping them out. By God there really ought to be some advantage to producing here in America that we can find that is sound in a fair capitalism. The unfairness has been to tie consistently one arm behind our own backs whilst slave labor in foreign countries is said to be the winner of capitalism?
The disregard of Tariffs as protections of our Nation is as delinquent a protection of our economy as mass immigration is to our citizenry in the maintenance of the United States. Will Congress abandon the notion that slavery is un-constitutional here, but adopt through the lack of Tariffs the notion that slave labor is ok? Why don't they, GOD FORBID, be un-hypocritical about it and just repeal Amendment XIII and XIV and bring it back to our soil?
America has always been competitive. We have won the lucrative competitive race several times over which has allowed us great abilities for charity. We need to protect that, protect our American workers, protect our independence, and use our Constitution as a first line of defense. It has been through the dilution of American principle found within our Constitution that our economy has troubled.
9- The question I'll add to this scenario is the question addressing the Constitutional Qualification of our President, held within our Constitution. The fact is neither Mike Lee, Sam Granato, or Scott Bradley address this question on which hangs most all the socialist policies that conservatives are worried about:
Is Barack Hussein Obama Constitutionally eligible through the qualifications set for in our Constitution to be President?
On this question hangs our nation slipping into a socialistic chaotic and destructive nightmare and those running for office not addressing the most basic, yet most powerful principle in our Constitution which is our President's pen.
Obama's pen signed Health Care Bill into law
Obama's pen signed The Financial Reform Bill into law
Obama's pen that refuses to sign the Bush Tax cuts into permanent law.
Arrest Obama's pen through his own fraud and we arrest our Country back from his madness. The following link represents the work that I've done in the past to bring this to Justice. I believe it is without a doubt the business and the duty of the U.S. Senate.

April 21-28, 2012 is National Immunization Awareness Week and the Northwestern Health Unit would like to remind everyone of the importance of immunization.
Thanks to immunization, many diseases are effectively and safely controlled, thus reducing the burden of illness in our communities.
No matter what our age, we never outgrow our need for immunizations.
An important time for immunization arises when the possibility of travel enters into our plans. This year, the Northwestern Health Unit asks you to think of the following:
Is there travel in your future? Travel for business or pleasure, in Canada or abroad?
"Early planning is the key to prevention," said Donna Stanley, manager of the Infectious Disease program.
"As soon as you think about travelling, call us to check your immunization records and requirements," she noted.
"Risks are tied to not just where you are going, but also to what you may be doing while you are there, so this applies to all travel plans.
"Many travel health risks can be avoided with early planning, knowledge, and immunization," Stanley stressed.
Even if you are not planning on travelling, it is important to keep your immunizations up to date.
The Canadian Coalition for Immunization Awareness and Promotion reminds everyone that "immunizations are not just for kids."
As more people in your community are immunized, the disease risk for everyone is reduced.
Both adults and children have specific immunization needs. Fully-immunized adults protect not only themselves, but also children who have not yet completed the full series of childhood immunizations.
Minimize your health risks by contacting your local Northwestern Health Unit office regarding your immunization status.

Admissions Consultants for Music Colleges offer students help through the entrance maze.
National Standards: 7, 9
Prepare: Have the class read 2019 Best Music Schools: A Guiding Hand (page 2 of the student edition). The article dives into all the ways in which admissions consultants are here to help.
Key points in the article:
- The expertise of admissions consultants is being utilized more and more frequently due to the increasing competition ("leagues and leagues higher than it used to be") for college admission
- Admissions consultants specialize in helping students find the higher-education program that's right for them by offering assistance with application materials, resumes and essays
- Recently, consultants have had to adjust their advice as technology has become a much more prominent tool in the process
"The applicant pool grows every year, and the competition for acceptance to the top music schools is increasingly fierce. On top of that, the application process is far more complex and multi-layered than parents and typical high-school advisers might understand."
– Steve Lipman, Admissions Consultant
- When selecting a consultant, consider their experience, background and knowledge for your individual goals
- A good consultant should be able to point students toward a program that facilitates multiple career path options after graduation
"It's vital that each student has a private teacher who is compatible with his or her style of learning and desire for performing."
– Bill Swick, GRAMMY-Award winning music instructor

A Tree of Honour takes pride of place in every Erskine home this Christmas after the annual light switch on took place last night in each home.
The trees are decorated with Stars of Honour, each one representing a loved one who is missing from family celebrations. Erskine supporters send in their Purple Stars marked with personal messages in memory of someone special. When the trees are full of stars the rest are displayed in the Field of a Thousand Stars at The Erskine Home in Bishopton or within the charity's four care homes.
Veterans and their families and friends enjoyed the switch on events, with visitors attending to join in the celebrations.
At The Erskine Home in Bishopton there was a candlelight procession through the Veterans Village led by Pony Major Cpl Mark Williamson and Cpl Cruachan IV, Regimental Mascot of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, joined by pupils from Bargarran Primary School; Police Scotland Youth Volunteers with music from Kilbarchan Pipe Band.
Chaplin Graham Morrison conducted a short service which included a dedication of the tree before Scottish musician Alastair McDonald sang and led everyone in the singing of Christmas carols.
Erskine resident Isobel Kirkwood, who celebrated her 99th birthday the day before, switched the lights on the Tree of Honour before everyone moved into the warmth of the home for festive refreshments and music by the Jazz band Swing Sensation.
The Erskine Home Tree of Honour event is sponsored by Central Car Auctions of Glasgow. Central Car Auctions Chairman Jonathan Miller said: "We are delighted to support Erskine's Tree of Honour. It is a special event that celebrates the festive spirit at Erskine. We are pleased to support the charity and in particular an event that is enjoyed by veterans, families and members of the local community alike."
In Erskine Edinburgh a similar service was conducted by Minister David Dixon with Christmas Carols sung by children from Gilmerton Primary School. Veterans and their families were then invited to place a star on the tree.
Erskine Chief Executive, Ian Cumming MBE said: "Our Tree of Honour services are a moving start to the Christmas season and offer us the opportunity to remember those service men and women who will be missing from celebrations at this special time of year. For our veterans, those reflections are very personal as they remember colleagues who didn't come home.
"Special thanks to Central Car Auctions for their long term commitment in support of our veterans."
Everyone at Erskine would also like to thank Servest who donated The Erskine Home tree and have done for many years.

The National Electoral Council says that President Nicolas Maduro won almost sixty eight percent of the vote, defeating his main rival, ex Governor Henri Falcon, by almost forty points. Officials say Maduro won 5.8 million votes, while Falcon got just 1.8 million. They say there was a 46.1 percent turnout.
The opposition insist turnout was barely thirty percent. With opposition leaders Leopoldo Lopez and Henrique Capriles barred from competing, and the opposition coalition steadfastly refusing to take part, the final result was never in any serious doubt.
Former Foreign Minister Delcy Rodríguez, who leads the all powerful Constituent Assembly, which brought the Election forward by almost a year enthused: "Look at the people in the streets. A big democratic fiesta is taking place!"
Henri Falcon has rejected the voting process, which included the scanning of State Benefits cards and ruling socialist party stands too close to polling stations, plus other factors. He says: "We don't recognize the electoral process as valid. We must have new Elections."
This won't happen. What is likely to occur, is another set of crunching economic sanctions from Washington, which is refusing to recognize the Presidential Election.

Sundance Coverage Weird Reviews Cult Movies Indie Features International Videos How ScreenAnarchy Works
Coming Soon On Home Video: Well Go USA Delivers THE FOUR. Check Out Our Exclusive Trailer!
Gangs of spies. A royal secret service. A covert governing organization. A divine constabulary. Everyone wants to know about a stolen coin cast and a mysterious circulation of counterfeit currency. Every government agency and financial interest in the region has an interest and a plan. But this scam is only the beginning of their problems.I love these kinds of movies, even the bad ones, and this has all the makings of something very entertaining. The director of Fist of Legend is behind the camera and some serious ass-kicking in front of it should make for a fun ride! Be sure to check out The Four when it hits home video next week.
Something supernatural is happening. Someone is forming an army of the undead, created to crush anything that stands in their way, making their way to the capital.
Coldblood. Iron Hands. Emotionless. Life Snatcher.
They are kung fu superheroes. They are THE FOUR.
And they may be our only chance.
Based on the greatly-loved novel The Four Detective Guards by Wen Ruian, Gordon Chan's (THE KING OF FIGHTERS, PAINTED SKIN, THE KUNG FU MASTER) film adaptation is the first for the big screen, and the beginning of a planned trilogy.

I caught this when it opened in Hong Kong last year and must confess that I kinda enjoyed it despite myself. It plays like a Chinese period version of X-MEN, with various mavericks being recruited for their special powers and abilities to fight a supernatural evil. It's not supposed to be taken at all seriously, but it certainly delivers as trashy entertainment.
I think the film is harmed by a uselessly self-serious tone, muddled choreography and some pretty bland brooding from Chao Deng and Liu Yifei. Anthony Wong, Ronald Cheng and Collin Chou do breathe some life in it, though.
There are a pair of sequels in the works now, too.

19.1 miles round-trip with just under 4000 feet of elevation gain. No stray balloons found on this amazing hike!
A chilly, beautiful morning at Eureka Dunes wakes me up
Cold overnight, but 10 degrees F warmer than yesterday morning!
Gotta make another cup of hot coffee to warm up...
The hike up to Eureka Peak begins by crossing Eureka Dry Lake
A hole in Eureka Dy Lake from an uprooted plant?
Eureka Dry Lake and Eureka Dunes shimmer in the bright backlighting
Small volcanic rock is scattered across the far shore of Eureka Dry Lake
A morning-shift fighter jet flies over the Last Chance Range
I slowly approach the Saline Range over there
I look behind me to see my footprints following me
I walk across some light sand ripples
I'm heading toward that dark canyon in the Saline Range over there
I'm passing through a rocky area
Time for a quick snack before I continue onward
I pick my way across a rock field en route to the Saline Range
I slowly begin the rise out of Eureka Valley
After the rocky area I've just crossed, this desert pavement is so smooth
I climb up out of an unnamed Saline Range canyon
I look wide across Eureka Valley from a flat spot where I've arrived
I'm really enjoying looking down into this canyon
I'll follow the rim of the canyon a bit
I wonder what it would be like to hike down there
Another look back as I rise up this finger of the Saline Range
It's a moderately steep uphill on this finger of the Saline Range
Looking down into that canyon again
Up we go...
That canyon gouges its way into the Saline Range alongside me
I walk over to the other side of the finger and look across a red hill
Another flat area
Now I look across a black hill
That may be Eureka Peak up there
20 minutes later, I'm a bit closer to Eureka Peak
Another 20 minutes later, closer to Eureka Peak yet
Eureka Dunes are a bit hidden down in the slightly shaded valley now
Eureka Peak is just up there somewhere; don't stop now!
This rocky hill should take me up to Eureka Peak
Almost at the top
Yup, almost at the top!
A look back down the rocky hill I just climbed up
I just noticed I'm not quite at Eureka Peak yet
There's this one last hill to climb on the Eureka Peak ridge
It's an awesome end of day up here on the Eureka Peak ridge
The hills that could be climbed here are endless
Obsidian flakes
I've got a nice view over to Little Eureka Peak and up Eureka Valley
I ponder some of the pristine rolling plains of the inner Saline Range
I'm having fun with all these distant views of the Eureka Dunes
The open landscape up here invites to hike anywhere
I could continue and hike these hills just beyond Eureka Peak, couldn't I?
It's only 6600 feet elevation up here, but feels like the top of the world
At Eureka Peak, I look around and around
I see sand in the Dedeckera Canyon area over on the left
I see Waucoba Mountain and Squaw Peak in the Inyo Mountains
I can see over much of the Last Chance Range from here
I see sundown coming soon
Eureka Dunes down there is already partly in the mountain shadows
Desert mountain peaks sometimes have ladybugs, and Eureka Peak does too
Take off the backpack, sit and relax for a few minutes
Little Eureka Peak over there might have even better views over Eureka Valley
Satisfied hiker at Eureka Peak
One more look over to Squaw Peak across the upper Saline Range valleys
One more look up Eureka Valley past Little Eureka Peak
Eureka Peak and Eureka Dunes catch a few end-of-day sun rays
I've been up here on Eureka Peak over 30 minutes watching the sun drop slowly
Well, it's time for the 8-9-mile hike down to camp near Eureka Dunes
Goodbye Eureka Peak, thank you for receiving my visit
Darkness begins as I hike down out of the Saline Range
It's getting darker minute by minute
The next couple of hours will be hiking by headlamp down the Saline Range
After 8 pm, I'm walking across peaceful Eureka Dry lake to reach my campsite

If you even try and install Photoshop CC, CS, Lightroom, etc any of it, it will tell you that your video card isn't good enough and block you out. You need a dedicated card made roughly in the last 8 years.
Eh, that's not entirely true, though it does vary by application. Lightroom, for instance, does want a lot of VRAM, but is listed as working on some of the later Intel graphics. Others, like Premiere or After Effects, only spec a basic resolution as minimum...which many laptop panels may not meet. They do, of course, benefit from a supported GPU for acceleration features.
Either way, going with a discrete card certainly isn't a bad idea, but Creative Cloud stuff does tend to work on (newer) Intel graphics at least.

'Storm Area 51' has Nevada tour owner pausing trips, warning visitors
FOX NEWS - When the masses possibly descend on the rural Nevada landscape later this month for the viral "Storm Area 51" event and related festivals that have popped up after its creation, don't expect to set out for the full alien experience with Will Tryon's tour company.
Area 51 is popularly known as the site of rumored government studies of outer space aliens. The "Storm Area 51" Facebook event went viral in July as people pledged to crash the secret military base in an attempt to "see them aliens." More than 3 million Facebook users have now said they are going, with over 1.4 million replying they were interested.
After going viral, the event — which started as a joke — spurred two rural Nevada counties to draft emergency declarations, with local law enforcement planning to team resources with the state and neighboring counties ahead of the Sept. 20-22 events.
Tryon, the owner of Las Vegas Adventure Tours and operator of GetYourGuide's Area 51 tour, told Fox News on Monday that his company won't be taking customers out into the area from Sept. 19 to 22 out of concerns that things could "get difficult," including the possibility that the few gas stations in the area may run out of fuel.
"We have to think first of the safety of their customers," he said. "I don't think putting a customer in that kind of situation is a safe choice."
One of the alien-related festivals is scheduled to take place in the town of Rachel, located about 148 miles north of Las Vegas. The town's official website warns there is no gas or store in the town of 54 people, with the nearest gas station either 50 miles south in Ash Springs or 110 miles north in Tonopah.
Tryon, who has been running the Area 51 tour for over 18 years, told Fox News he wasn't surprised the Facebook event went viral because people across the country want to know what's happening at the top-secret military base.
"It's simply a rebound of the American desire to know," he said Monday. "Although storming Area 51, I think, isn't a good idea. They take that whole place seriously."
The tour company owner said the best time to visit the area is spring or fall, when weather conditions are "absolutely perfect" in the high-desert area. The viral Facebook event just so happens to be when weather conditions are entering the "best time of the year," according to Tryon.
He stressed, however, that those staying in Las Vegas can't get back and forth on one tank of fuel if they plan on attempting to make a trek on their own, especially if there is traffic or any other incident on the few roadways in the region.
"Getting caught in the desert isn't a good thing, " he told Fox News. "You can dehydrate and end up with serious issues."
That's why he recommends people make sure they go through a certified tour operator, especially avoiding the weekend of scheduled events. In his company's full-day tours, travelers head out along the infamous "Extraterrestrial Highway" and showcase the scenic desert complete with stops at the Little A'le'Inn, 6-foot Indian petroglyphs that resemble aliens, and get the chance to stand at the perimeter of the military base without fear of arrest.
"For the enthusiasts, it's a pilgrimage," Tryon told Fox News. "It has such mystique about it."
Tryon, who hosts tours for visitors from all over the world, said the viral Facebook event has caused "a nice uptick" in interest for tours in the area.
Lauren Hillhouse, GetYourGuide's destination manager for Arizona and Nevada, told Fox News on Monday that the area typically sees interest from travelers in the U.S., but the European-based tour company has seen searches spike from people in places such as South America, Germany, Spain, and Italy. Traffic to its Area 51 activities page soared to 20 times normal levels in the past month, according to GetYourGuide.
"I think they're looking for attractions, but what they are finding are tours," she said Monday.
Hillhouse said that Area 51 tours were not even on her top points of interest until the Facebook event "exploded." She said that, aside from avoiding the rural area between Sept. 19 to 22, anyone who is interested in visiting the Area 51 region should make sure to sign up for a legitimate tour and legitimate experience.
"Go through a verified source, do your research and be prepared for it," she told Fox News.
Tryon, who "fell in love" with the Southwest about 27 years ago, said he plans to be out next weekend on his own with a film crew — and extra gas — to keep tabs on whatever happens.
He's also convinced the military has had a space ship and even aliens there, citing information about the crash of an unidentified object in Roswell, N.M., on July 8, 1947. Government officials have labeled the crashed object a weather balloon.
"Are we alone in the universe? Of course, we're not," he told Fox News.
He also said information from earlier this year, about U.S. Navy pilots reporting having spotted UFOs while training over the East Coast in 2014 and 2015, just adds to the intrigue that people have for the secret site.
"The American people want to know what's going on at Area 51, and they deserve to know what's happening at Area 51," he said.
