Gay Celebrities: Who Is Out? Once it was considered a potentially career-ending acknowledgment, but a growing number of celebrities have come out with relatively little fanfare. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Anderson Cooper, 2012
Until July, Anderson Cooper had never publicly confirmed he was gay, but he'd never denied it, either. Cooper's sexual orientation has long been an open secret, but it took an Entertainment Weekly cover story about gay celebrities to prompt the newsman to finally come out. Daily Beast blogger Andrew Sullivan, another openly gay newsman, wrote to Cooper asking for his reaction to the story and published the response on his blog, The Dish. In the email, Cooper said, "The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn¿t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud."

Anderson Cooper???? GAY??? I am thoroughly SHOCKED!!!!!!/s;)
I'm glad that this post reminded me how to count to thirteen.
Does this mean Anderson Cooper SUCKS?...
Who cares?
They ought to tell what shows these people are in, because I don't know most of them. No idea who 2 and 3 are, nor a bunch of others. I know that Bryce Larson guy from Chuck is a homo, but he ain't on this list.
And what will you be when the fall comes, O proud one! Finding out you weren't 'always' and will not be 'always' and no one cares because you'll all be gnashing your teeth together. God will not be mocked, He doesn't make what HE says is an abomination to Him.
Heck, we all knew elton John was gay when he did that song where he sang "Hold me closer Tony Danza" back in the 70s.
Enjoy your AIDS, girls!
I lead a sheltered life. Never seen any of them before. I think.
Regular Times reader, Steelfish?
Not a lot of surprises. They all have the same queer look on their faces...
For the most part, they are class "B" stars or has beens.
I like Chely Wright however. Her support for the troops earns respect. I would like the chance to turn her.
Bronco Bama!
Manderson Pooper?
Anyone catch 'Person Of Interest' Thursday night? A favorite show of mine.
I didn't catch the whole hour this past Thurs, but was in time to see the 2 guys kissing.
Far as I know, this is a first for this show.
Guys lip-locked.
Sort of funny, because the show last week revolved around 2 lesbians. . .
Ya gotta wonder about the producers' agenda, with all this token nod to the gay crowd.
Because this was done 2 weeks in a row, it now makes the show silly, just as it was getting better legs than last season, IMO.
I'm wondering when George Looney will find it convenient to cum out. Maybe he swings both ways?
Anderson Cooper is a homosexual??!!!?? Next they'll be trying to tell us Paul Lynde, Truman Capote, and Charles Nelson Reilly were homosexuals.
Parsons plays the emotionally crippled scientist on the Big Bang Theory.
3% of the general population, but an amazingly high percentage of Hollywood, Democratic leadership, the media, and academia.
Who is out? Bigger question...who cares?
"Parsons plays the emotionally crippled scientist on the Big Bang Theory."
It seems as if EVERYONE in today's TV Sit Coms is "emotionally crippled". That appears to be the Left's definition of "comedy".
Yeah, we saw it and the previous week. A bi-racial lesbian episode.
Hope we can get back to regular programming now that they have got that out of their system.
A few years ago I was a fan of 'Bones'. Then they started one season with Angelia in a bi-racial relationship followed by a lesbian one. Never watched another episode.
Would hate to give up on PoI as we like the show.
Paul Lynde was one funny SOB though.
I suppose it should have been obvious: fancy shirt, kinky boots, whip
My gaydar would have spotted every one of those.
Ricky Martin on the list? Whoda thunk? "Living La Poopa Shoota"
"Im wondering when George Looney will find it convenient to cum out."
My thoughts EXACTLY. I've always thought he was gay.
I really would like to ask this guy why he's proud of the fact that he has an abnormal and perverted compulsion to play with another man's filthy anal area. It would be more appropriate for him to run away and hide in shame.
Sorry for the graphic description, but I've had it with the cute little terms for this sickness. Instead of pretending that homosexuals are just prancing, flashy decorators and hair stylists, people need to hear the truth about their repellent practices.
In war, know what the opposition thinks and does.
They are proud to be an abomination to God. In short, they are evil. When God's age of grace is over - so are they or before that if their filth/perversion does them in first.
'_______now that they have got that out of their system.'
LOL - with you there.
About 20 years ago I knew someone connected to Hollywood who offered to tell me who the gays were.
Didn't want to know - didn't want any bubbles burst!
Yeah, but he showed he was trying to control his urges when he sang, "Don't let your son go down on me."
I'll admit, I deleted the episode and removed my series recording about the third time somebody said "her wife." Looks like I made the right decision if they had gay kissing the following week.
Sounds like you are/were a fan of 'Person Of Interest,' also.
'They' just gotta include at least a nod to homosexuality these days in every avenue of entertainment.
Yes, I know there is overt homosexuality on film.
Hopefully it will run its course - without getting REally graphic - and burn out - on TV.
Movies will most likely always depict homosexuality.
Uganda gets it...jail time for homosexual acts.
There must be something wrong with me. I only recognize two of the names on the list (provided here as a service so you don't have to give the LA Slimes the clicks):
Anderson Cooper
Jim Parsons
Andrew Rammells
Zachary Quinto
Sean Maher
Jonathan Knight
Chely Wright
Lady Soverign
Sara Gilbert
Ricky Martin
Chris Colfer
Sean Hayes
Adam Lambert
we avoid patronizing thier business endevors.
homosexual should be bad for business.
look at jc penny, suzy orman, ane heche(sp?),etc
You just know if they revive Star Trek for TV, there will be a gay crewman. Certain segments of the fan base are practically demanding it. Everyone was raving over a fan-made revival of the original series. Well, one of the first episodes had Kirk attending a gay wedding. It was dead to me at that point.
Star Trek/Capt Kirk attending gay wedding - ? Good grief - didn't know - - -
Gay crew'man' in any revival - I believe it.
All this token gay stuff - -
Guess 'they're' getting their jollies annoying the rest of us.
It was a fan-made series on the Internet that had no official ties to Star Trek, though Takei and Konig appeared (and maybe others). It was getting rave reviews, but the mention of a gay wedding kept me away. I wish we could just enjoy stuff like that or Person of Interest without an agenda!
Didn't see enough of that show to know if they were vegetarian - realize you're joking, but maybe they WERE veg. ! - - -
Let's hope the producers have now shot their wad, and we can get back to 'regular programming.'
BTW, 'Person Of Interest' is my 2nd fav.
'Leverage' grabs first. They better not monkey with that

For a short time after a snowfall, glaciers are like blank white canvases. But it's not long before the snowy surfaces are painted over with coats of dust, soot, ash, pollen, salt, sand, rocks, and other debris.
Nature has more than one paintbrush at its disposal. Winds can blow in plumes of smoke and dust to coat surfaces with black, gray, metallic, even reddish or yellow tones. Volcanoes spew dark ash and tephra that can be millimeters to meters thick. And landslides and lahars slosh thick layers of soil, pulverized rock, muck, and sediment on the icy canvases.
In the case of Zmutt Glacier, which is in the Swiss Alps near the base of the Matterhorn, debris comes from rockfalls from the steep terrain that hems the glacier in at the bottom of Zmutt Valley. The rockfalls send debris ranging from pebbles to large boulders tumbling down onto the ice in a rush. Winds blow pulverized rock flour and dust onto the glacier as well.
The top image shows the debris-covered surface of Zmutt Glacier, as seen by a sensor aboard the GeoEye-1 satellite on August 18, 2009. Debris bands with different geochemical compositions are visible. The rust-colored band near the top of the image is iron-rich; the gray bands south of it are iron-poor. The color difference relates to the composition of the rock to the north and the south of the glacier. The outcrop to the north is rich with minerals that interact with rainwater to produce an acidic environment on rock surfaces that leads to rapid chemical weathering of rock, while the combination of minerals in the outcrop to the south produces a less acidic environment that slows weathering.
For comparison, the upper image shows the surface of Findelen Glacier, which is a few miles east of Zmutt Glacier near the town of Zermatt. While Findelen has some fine dust on it, it lacks the thicker debris bands seen on Zmutt Glacier. The bottom image shows Gorner Glacier, another valley glacier near Zermatt. Like Zmutt Glacier, its surface has distinct banding, with clean ice sandwiched between debris on its northern and southern edges.
NASA scientist Kimberly Casey has developed new methods to map the composition of glacial debris using satellites. Since the composition of debris can affect the rate that glaciers retreat, her research could help answer long-standing, controversial questions about the impact of climate change on glaciers. To learn more, read the Earth Observatory's new feature: "Painted Glaciers."

I am a costume designer & mobile seamstress. For as long as I can remember I have loved everything do do with sewing & creating. I would spend hours sitting at the end of my Mama's bed sifting through the fabric trunk & sorting the button tin. I made my first dress at 5 for my Barbie, & my first me size seersucker skirt with the sewing machine at 7. I have a ridiculous number of patterns & reference books, far too much fabric, wool & haby, & an alarming number of sewing machines.

The TriCaster Professional Line Certified Operator Exam is an 85-question, multiple choice and multiple response exam. The time limit is 60 minutes and the minimum passing score is 70%. The exam is proctored at numerous testing centers around the US. The test items are drawn randomly from a large bank of questions which are divided into ten skills and knowledge areas. For some questions, a description of the initial conditions for the question, and often an image, appears above the question. Read each question carefully, then pick the best response from those given. None of these are trick questions, but the available responses are not meant to describe the complete behavior of the TriCaster, only to test your knowledge of how the machine and a qualified operator work together to produce the best live production. To get the highest possible score, pick the best available answer.
The questions cover a wide range of skills and knowledge of the TriCaster Professional Line operation in many types of live events. The "Professional Line" of TriCasters refers to the 410, 460, 860, and 8000 models. Operators preparing for the exam should study the operation of each of these TriCasters with a Control Surface to achieve the highest possible score.
The ten skills and knowledge areas and the percent of questions from each are given in this table, and a more detailed description follows:

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Generally speaking a column that has a title such as this one, one would expect it to deal with sports. And usually it does, just not this time. Today, I want to talk about something much more controversial, something much more provocative, something that really gets people's attention. Today this is about politics.
With election season just past, I took it up on myself to figure out, to the best of my ability which some of you believe to be not that great, why people actually vote the way they do.
I decided to stay with local politics because of our reading habits. Unofficially in my poll, I found that there are a lot of us that consider the Emery Progress to be our official source of late breaking news and do not peruse a bigger newspaper with any regularity. With this in mind, I figured that questions concerning state or national issues and/or people would maybe not work.
So why do we vote for whom we vote for? That is almost like the woodchuck question isn't it? I was going to say "ain't" it but I figured isn't would make me sound more educated.
So the question is why? When you step up to vote and the decision has to be made, what actually drives us? Here are several scenarios that I believe fit a lot of us.
Meet the candidate night is a good place to well, meet the candidate. This is the time that you can get up close and personal and really see if their views sort of fit our views. This is a time that you can get through the fluff and get to substance. This is a time that you can decide the person might be good or that they are a bum. You know like throw the bum out.
But unfortunately we do not attend meet the candidate night and therefore all the candidates do is talk to themselves. No wonder they all might be confused. So if meeting those who choose to run is not important then what is? Upon what do we base our decision for whom to vote? Here are a few of the responses that I got.
Relations, something like my relations are better than your relations even if I really wouldn't invite my relation to a backyard barbeque.
Residence, that guy is really good but he lives in Moore or Emery or Clawson and I live in Huntington. He just will not understand my needs and wants. I have got to vote for the local guy(or gal).
Business owners need to be careful. It is almost a taboo to appear to be successful at whatever it is that you do because as a business owner, we all know that you are rich and rich might not be good either.
Religion should not be an issue but unfortunately that appears not to be the case. I just have not figured out if you need to be more religious or less religious.
And now why do we really make these decisions? I came to no conclusions so I cannot really say. Maybe next year I will have a better answer but not now. If you know why, let me know.

Strange fit
"I picked this pair on clearance in my local DSW. They are cute and very comfortable. But for some reason the leather upper had too much space between the instep and the leather. the part near the toes was snug as it should be, but looking down at the shoe the leather on top was standing away from my foot. Looked very funny. A shame - otherwise a quality made shoe."

Peter Graf is the chief sustainability officer and executive vice president of sustainability solutions at SAP. He is responsible for developing sustainable solutions that best serve the needs of SAP's global customers, while also driving sustainable operations within SAP.
During his tenure at SAP, Graf has held various management roles. Previously, Graf was the executive vice president of solution marketing at SAP. In this role, Graf was responsible for shaping the company's industry solution, application, and platform strategy.
Based at SAP Labs in Palo Alto, California, Graf holds a master's degree in computer science and economics as well as a Ph.D. in artificial intelligence.
In this interview, Graf details how sustainability is about long-term business models and what CIOs can do to give their organizations an edge.
Peter Graf of SAP details the role information and information systems will play in driving sustainability.
Interview conducted by Vinod Baya
PwC: You head the sustainability function at SAP. What does sustainability mean to SAP?
PG: In 2008, our executive board decided to make sustainability the purpose of SAP. In essence, this means we exist for the sake of helping companies manage their operations in a world where resources become scarce, prices become more volatile, consumers are connected over the Internet, environmental concerns and regulations are proliferating, and social aspects have a serious potential impact on a company's results. So, while we have always been focused on managing the resources of a company, the developments that we see in the world today force us to rethink what enterprise resource management actually means as the importance of resources shifts. One important aspect of our sustainability strategy, therefore, is our commitment to become more sustainable in our own operations. This gives us the experience and credibility in the market to be successful.
PwC: What are the core challenges for companies to move forward on sustainability?
PG: I'd say there are three key challenges today. First, companies need to look beyond pure economics and better understand the environmental and social impact of their operations. You really can't separate environmental and social concerns from your bottom line any longer—just think of recent environmental disasters or cases of social injustice. On the other side, look at where companies thrive because they deliver shared value to themselves and the communities in which they operate. Second, sustainability needs to be seen as an opportunity and not only as a risk. Many companies still wait for environmental or social legislation to hit and see this as a risk, rather than trying to understand how to create competitive differentiation from sustainability. The third challenge is moving from having a sustainability strategy to making your corporate strategy a sustainable one. That's a profoundly different and much more challenging task.
PwC: How should they do that?
PG: Sustainability is about ensuring that the company can continue to deliver value in the long run. And for this to happen, all parts of the business must take sustainability into account, from procurement to manufacturing, distribution to accounting, and innovation to customer management. Therefore, making your strategy sustainable requires the company to strategically address critical areas, including operational risk (including the health and safety of workers as well as environmental compliance and incident management), resource productivity (including optimizing the use of natural resources or energy), sustainable supply chains and products and, finally, creating a sustainable workforce. For this effort to be effectively managed, and for sustainability performance to be measured, companies invest in software.
PwC: What you're talking about is really business model transformation.
PG: Absolutely. That's why it's so interesting. We don't see transformations of this scale happen too often, but when they hit, their impact is significant. The Internet and globalization are two such transformations that are similar in scale and longevity. They create new winners (search engines, online stores on the Internet) and new losers (travel agents, book stores). So, for example, if you look at an oil company, there are two scenarios for the future. Either oil consumption will rise, prompting the company to spend more money finding oil, or people will turn to alternative sources of energy, lowering the cost of oil. So how will that company transform itself? Those are the fundamental questions, and they all start with the current focus on sustainability.
PwC: What role does software play in the sustainability trend?
PG: For me, the use of software is to (a) collect information, (b) analyze information, (c) set targets and put these targets into the organization, and then (d) operate.
Enterprises have so many choices in how they can act on sustainability. They need an optimization function that looks across all options. They can't do that without software. For example, we are using our software to manage the energy-efficiency question: "What gives me the most financial return and what other options do I have?"
We have also created an internal abatement curve using our software. This curve visually shows the financial impact of making changes across our operations. For example, my curve tells me that through the use of videoconferencing capabilities, we can remove another 39,000 tons of carbon by 2015. And for every ton that we remove, our analysis says that the company saves 654 euros. That's the bottom line financial implication.
Another example is our internal deployment of our Sustainability Performance Management software, where we track 400 key performance indicators [KPIs]. We cascade those KPIs in dashboards that we use to track our performance against goals across the course of the year. This includes leveraging these dashboards as a tool for discussion and decision making during our quarterly sustainability councils with our co-CEOs and the board.
PwC: How is information you collect in these systems being used to change the behaviors of employees?
PG: We are using software to create transparency. Every employee can go to the portal and see the computing stats, review the energy consumption trends in buildings, and discover printing data for every printer. How much has been printed in black and white vs. color? Are we printing less or more as a company or in this office? We set targets for sustainability goals and make the progress visible to encourage awareness and personal accountability.
We also plan to present useful information to help influence actions. For example, when employees book a flight, we will tell them what the carbon footprint of that flight will be. Employees are empowered to take this additional information into consideration when making a decision to travel.
We are also looking at a project to see if we can break down our overall footprint on an individual basis. Employees would receive a message that says, "Your footprint in the company this year is that much, and x percent of our employees have a smaller footprint than you." Such visibility changes behavior. We already have competitions going between teams and across our global offices. All these approaches are positively influencing behavior.
PwC: What are some results of your sustainability initiatives?
PG: Just on the energy front, SAP sources 48 percent of its energy worldwide from renewable sources. Here in Palo Alto, it's 100 percent renewable—wind energy, plus the solar energy derived from the 650 panels on our roof. Collectively in the years 2008, 2009, and 2010, our energy-efficiency efforts created savings of a quarter billion dollars. We live the business case.
Last year we reduced energy consumption by 6 percent in spite of the fact that we grew revenues by 20 percent. Our goal is to reduce total emissions back to the levels of 2000 by 2020 and we're 25 percent of the way to our target already.
PwC: How should CIOs build a system to address sustainability efforts?
PG: They need to focus on three different layers. The first is a transactional layer. This is about opening up the transactional systems, so people can access the data relevant for sustainability that already exists. The second layer consists of sustainability solutions that take the data and put it into perspective so people can collect, analyze, report, set strategies, set targets, and cascade targets—all from a sustainability viewpoint. It is not just an analytical system; it's an enterprise performance management system. The third layer is putting this information into everybody's hands—in a mobile manner —so they can access this information wherever they are.
And then, finally, there's one other step that is often not understood. In today's enterprise systems, processes are designed to be linear: from extraction, production, distribution, point of sales, retail, consumption, to landfill. That's how the systems are designed. The longer-term perspective is to use enterprise systems to connect the design of a product with the recycling of a product, so that we come closer to a cradle-to-cradle view of the world.
PwC: So from a linear to a closed-loop system?
PG: Yes. It's a dramatic change and offers a completely new way of thinking about software. We can extend the edges of processes in a way that they connect. We have recycling administration, and we're also working on this idea in product life cycle management. These systems need to be designed so that they can connect.
PwC: How is this software different from systems such as ERP [enterprise resource planning] and SCM [supply chain management] and associated business intelligence solutions?
PG: It's all about visibly connecting two types of business data—financial numbers and numbers we previously didn't track. SAP, for example, has always tracked financial resources, human resources, and capacities, but the company has never tracked energy, water, wood, or any other type of natural resource. We never tracked these as there was no perceived need, because it was considered infinitely available. Now we are starting to manage these areas as a scarce resource, which is why applying enterprise resource planning and management is essential.
The existing systems, however, continue to play a role here. For example, you can go to the travel and expense system and harvest financial data about the fuel consumed by employees on the road, because that is getting expensed—you have the airlines tickets, the purchasing data, all the electricity you buy. You can harvest a lot of data that already exists, but now the next step is to put it into the context of resource constraints.
PwC: Will the impact of sustainability solutions be different from ERP, CRM [customer relationship management], SCM, and other enterprise systems?
PG: When we implement supply chain management systems, we make the supply chain planners our heroes. When we put out CRM systems, we make the head of sales and the account executives heroes. Sustainability software is about making everyone a hero in the company. It's about giving everyone that transparency and the information to make the right decisions.
PwC: Sustainability concerns impact the full supply chain. What is the impact on the supply chain you operate in?
PG: We obviously drive sustainability requirements into our own supply chain. But for us the supply chain challenges we face are mostly downstream, not upstream. We've analyzed the 188,000 SAP systems that are in use at customer sites, and we've created visibility into the footprint of our customers' systems in energy consumption. We can see what kind of products constitute those systems.
We've also created a benchmark on energy efficiency to drive our development. Internally, when our developers create a system, we've put in a standard that manages the energy efficiency on a transactional basis. We measure how many kilowatt-hours of electricity a system needs to achieve a defined business throughput.
The developers need to write the code in a way so that it's energy efficient. And we have the first partners coming out that are now competing on this benchmark.
PwC: From an enterprise software standpoint, how is addressing sustainability different from other solutions?
PG: To look to the future, I think it's important to understand a key change we are witnessing today. We have mastered the flow of material. What we haven't mastered yet is the flow of information with the material. Or, for that matter, the information attached to anything that is being exchanged. Information attached to energy. Information attached to products. I'm not just saying this is the recipe or bill of material of a product; I'm saying this is the toxicity, this is the environmental impact, and so on. To put it in a nutshell, we used to live in a world where energy was cheap and information was expensive. Now, information is a resource that is becoming limitless, and energy and other environmental resources are becoming constrained. The sustainability journey is about using information to become better at managing the constrained resources.

The best hikes in LA
From secluded mountain treks to unparalleled people-watching, these are the best hikes in LA with a view of the city
In a city where open space is sparse and the sprawl can feel endless, climb up to escape from it all. These five hikes provide a great workout and unmatched views that really put Los Angeles in perspective. Whether you're more cityscape gawker or ocean gazer, we've got the trek for you, in this list of the best hikes in LA—with views.
For a great hiking tour offer of Los Angeles, click here.
Runyon Canyon, Hollywood
An exerciser's paradise in the Hollywood Hills, Runyon's the spot for views of the toned bodies and even tonier homes endemic to this part of LA. The packed dirt path leads hikers, runners, yoga enthusiasts and roving weightlifters on a loop around the canyon, guaranteeing countless moments to pause and utter "This is so LA"—particularly during the after-work rush hour, when people-watching reaches its frenzied peak. Look out for tatted-up porn-star bodies sprinting bare-chested through the hills. Make eyes with middle-aged gay couples, chiseled and waxed. And clear the path for at least one dog walker, clogging the trail with a pack of purebreds.
You can catch the loop from either the east (Fuller Avenue) or west (North Vista Street) side of the canyon. Either way, it's a mostly gradual ascent, except for a treacherously steep and narrow section near the top of the eastern canyon wall. At the top, the trail plateaus along a ridge, giving views of the architectural hodgepodge of the Hollywood Hills—solar panels, pools and decks on stilts—downtown Hollywood and the Capitol Records building, the manicured tidiness of WeHo's grid, and the tangle of high-rises along Miracle Mile. You can also cheat a bit and take a shorter hike from Mulholland Drive.
Address: 2001 N Fuller Ave
Hours: Dawn to dusk
Parking: Street parking. Franklin Avenue is a good place to find a two-hour spot. You can enter the park on North Fuller Avenue or North Vista Street. Watch out for permit-parking only blocks in this neighborhood.
Pets? Dogs are welcome (encouraged, really), with much of the trail allowing off-leash roaming.
Length: ~1.5 miles with possibilities to extend
Time: 30-60 mins
The Charlie Turner Trail to Mount Hollywood, Griffith Park
At the top of Mount Hollywood, 360-degree views of everything from the Verdugo Mountains to the Pacific Ocean (on a rare, smog-free day) offer a bird's-eye crash course on LA geography. That is, if you can fight the feeling of visual overload—inspired by Griffith Park's dazzlingly varied landscape—long enough to keep your bearings.
To get to the Mount Hollywood summit, Griffith's highest peak, pick up the trail at the north side of the Observatory parking lot. Starting off amid scrubby evergreens, the path quickly emerges into the hills, winding higher and deeper, with the Hollywood sign appearing to the left about 15 minutes in.
After about a solid 40 minutes of walking, you'll reach the top: a big, dusty clearing with picnic tables. It's an ideal vantage point for checking out sweeping views of the Los Angeles basin, the edge of the San Fernando Valley, the hazy hills to the west, the skyline of Downtown Los Angeles with the observatory in the foreground, and the money shot: a close-up of the Hollywood sign at eye level.
Address: 2800 E Observatory Ave
Hours: From 5am-10:30pm. Hiking trails close at sunset.
Parking: Snag a spot in the lot next to the Griffith Observatory. If that lot is too hectic, look for street parking along Observatory Avenue.
Pets? Dogs allowed on leashes.
Length: ~3 miles
Time: 90 mins
The Sara Wan Trailhead at Corral Canyon
Where mountains collide with ocean, it's hard to go wrong in the search for perfect views. What makes Malibu's Corral Canyon stand out is its status as the only coastal canyon in Los Angeles County that was never developed. That means raw nature—coastal sage scrub and willows clinging to parched hills, plus the occasional bunny or lizard—experienced over a 2.4-mile, fairly gentle and shockingly deserted (on a weekday afternoon) hike.
As the trail begins, the noise of the PCH and the sea breeze follow you up. But things quiet down—and heat up—quickly on this shadeless trail. Hang a left at the first fork—this way you can face the ocean during your descent. Cutting through wild fennel and rust-colored grasses, the packed dirt path leads you on switchbacks along the east side and top of Corral Canyon.
While the loop lacks a crowning "inspiration point" to linger on, the descent toward the ocean has sweeping views of Santa Monica beaches all the way to Point Dume that are more than easy on the eyes.
Address: 5623 Pacific Coast Hwy
Hours: Dawn to dusk
Parking: Plenty on PCH by Malibu Seafood; or pay $5 (cash or check) in the lot at the trailhead, just east of the restaurant.
Pets? Dogs allowed on leashes.
Length: ~2.5 miles
Time: 60-90 mins
Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook, Culver City
An oil-rig studded hill on the edge of Culver City's industrial zone is an odd place for a state park. But that's all part of this urban overlook's understated charm. A destination for exercisers south of the 10 freeway, the park's main draw is the steps: more than 260 stone slabs that deliver hikers—breathless, aching—to the top in under 20 minutes.
If it's your first time, don't look back until you reach the top. That way you'll maximize the surprise of this north-gazing view of LA's east-to-west spine—far less photographed than the standard postcard pic snapped from south-facing Hollywood Hills, but just as worthy. Peer east toward Downtown's skyline and the sprawl of South LA. To the north and west, Century City high-rises and Westwood's Mormon temple cut imposing figures, with the Santa Monica Mountains serving as a smoky backdrop.
At happy hour, a no-frills workout scene flourishes, with people streaming into the park up until the moment it closes at sunset (and after). The paved viewing deck at the top turns into a sweaty zone of improvised pilates, exuding an electric post–work day energy that reverberates in the glow of city lights below. The hill's central location and low-key crowd make you feel like you're above the city, and within it, all at the same time.
Address: 6300 Hetzler Rd
Hours: 8am to dusk. The visitor center is open occasionally, usually Thursday to Saturday mornings.
Parking: Look for parking on Jefferson Boulevard or drive to the top and pay $6.
Pets? No dogs allowed (sorry!).
Length: Less than 1 mile, but very steep
Time: 30 mins
Echo Mountain, Altadena
"A quiet refuge from people and wild life forever," declares a sign at the entrance to the Sam Merrill trail. While you'll only linger here for a few hours, forever wouldn't be too long. This hike feels more like a weekend destination than an after-work jaunt, unless you live in the neighborhood. And based on the camel packs and hiking poles, the crowd who comes is a bit more serious about hiking, than say, at Griffith, but that doesn't mean it's too challenging for a novice.
The hike begins by scaling the wall of a canyon and emerging onto the face of the mountain about 15 minutes later. The views of downtown LA, Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley are stellar even at low levels. But once you get to the top, there's the added bonus of a fascinating LA history: In 1894, ambitious industrialists linked this mountaintop to nearby Pasadena with a train and then established an alpine resort, the White City, complete with a 70-room mansion. Two fires burned everything to the ground within a decade of its opening. All that's left now are ruined foundations and train tracks for hikers to explore and picnic on. It's a poetic view of the charred remains of a long-lost dream.
Address: E Loma Alta Dr at Lake Ave
Hours: Part of the Angeles National Forest, the trail doesn't officially close and is popular with night hikers.
Parking: Look for street parking by the entrance.
Pets? Dogs allowed on leashes.
Length: 5 miles
Time: 2.5-3.5 hrs

Hey!, I have been to Runyon Canyon many times and there is no such a thing as a waterfall.. Where are the Waterfalls hikes?. Timeout, Please be truthful to your post.
California is going through a draught, remember!
How are these "the best hikes with waterfalls"? I don't see waterfalls mentioned. They're supposed to be, because of the link at the bottom of this page: http://www.timeout.com/los-angeles/blog/3-outdoor-date-ideas-that-arent-runyon
Miss Heaven's Bustop at the top of Runyon!
This was helpful! LA is the best, especially because of the hikes and the gorgeous weather:) I love Lorna Jane clothes and just came across their post on good hikes in LA, you might like it too: http://www.movenourishbelieve.com/move/top-10-hikes-in-los-angeles/
Whatever dumbass wrote this article gave the wrong address for the Sara Wan Trailhead. 25623 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu 90265
Can't you just correct without being insulting?
Great site to explore the city.
Good things to do in L.A. hiking trails, museums, activities etc.
Corral Canyon is awesome, but the address you have listed is wrong. Newport Beach is also beautiful, but not as good for a great hike. I recommend you correct the address.

Calgary's Canuck Contact to represent Canada to at the NORCECA Youth Championships
CALGARY- Calgary's Canuck Contact under-17 squad will represent Canada at the NORCECA boy's youth volleyball championships set for April 6-11 in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The Canuck Contact team members are setters Brett Walsh, Brian Prigden, and Alex Cook; the middles are Luke Rauwarda, Scott Brunet, and Sean Martin; on the left side it's Taylor Lebo, Evan Morrow, and Will Bremner; on the right side, Matt Traynor and Matt Silver and the libero Matt Honeychurch.
"We've had a very good season and we are really looking forward to this big international challenge," said Canuck Contact coach Don Saxton. "For all of our players it will be their first international experience."
The Canuck Contact is part of the Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club formed in 1988. The Club added youth programs in 1997 and has a strong tradition of players graduating to Canadian interuniversity squads.
Saxton says the NORCECA tournament will have a lasting effect on his troops.
"All playing experiences add up but international meets are always different," said Saxton. "The travel will be an experience in itself. Then playing wise they will have to adjust to several different styles and tactics in just a few days."
The Canuck Contact is in pool A with the United States and Cuba. The Canadians open the tournament April 6 against the Americans then face the Cubans the following day. The quarterfinals are April 9, the semis on April 10 and the final on April 11.

Sugarvine accepts absolutely no responsibility for the views expressed in The Rant.If you feel the need to respond to something you've read here, email us at email@example.com if you would like to contribute a rant yourself, email it to us at the same address.You should include a pen name and we reserve the right to edit your diatribe.
You've seen them. In fact, maybe you are one. So before we go any further, you better complete this simple test of your food personality:
Answer each of these questions 'yes' or 'no' and award yourself a point for each 'yes'.
I like carveries
I have gone back for 'seconds' when out for a meal
I have used the salad bar in Pizza Hut
I think ice sculpture is charming
I have eaten baked beans at a restaurant
I know what a vol-au-vent is
I have walked out of a restaurant with fruit in my pocket
I have had two or more types of roast meat on my plate at the same time
I have seen a pig with an orange in its mouth
I have nothing against shaved carrot
If you scored 4 or under you are an a la carte kind of guy/girl. You would rather have your teeth pulled out one-by-one than queue up for your food. You aren't exactly sure who Ronald McDonald is but he might have been a character in Braveheart. You have not eaten prawns with Marie Rose sauce since the early 1980s. If not a Leo, you should be.
If you scored between 5 and 7 you are borderline buffet brigade. When the waiter brings round the bread rolls you sometimes ask for two. You have conceptual problems with the proposition that wine costs more in a restaurant than a supermarket. You always have your steaks well done and think people that order Perrier instead of tapwater are slightly suspect.
If you scored between 8 and 10 you are a fully-paid-up member of the club. You believe restaurants that put lots of ice in your drinks are part of a global conspiracy to rip you off. Wine waiters make you uncomfortable. Chips are one of your major food groups and you think most restaurants undercook the vegetables. You wouldn't dream of leaving a tip if the service charge is included.

Who Has the Best Tasting Water in Rural America?
And the winner … the city of Prairie du Sac in southern Wisconsin for having the best tasting water in rural America. Earlier this week, at the National Rural Water Association's Water Rally, Prairie du Sac won the coveted gold medal as part of the Great American Water Taste Test.
USDA Rural Utilities Service Acting Administrator John Padalino served on the judging panel. Padalino administers USDA water and environmental programs. Read more »

I took the Beavertail out to West Bay on Saturday, 2/20. I wanted to get a feel for the water temps in some different locations and see if there was any activity in the shallows yet (mind you, Saturday was in the middle of a warming trend).
Water temp. to start the day was hovering around 55 degrees in areas along the north shoreline of West.
We'd experienced a switch from NW to strong E winds, and that caused the tides to come up about 18 inches. I thought the influx of water might bring some bait into the marsh, but everywhere we looked, including Greens and Carancahua, was a ghost town. The water clarity was typical winter gin, but we didn't spot a single baitfish or gamefish in any water less than 2-feet deep. We poled and made long drifts across the lakes just looking for signs of life - but there was none to be found.
With that observation to guide us, we made a move to a deep bayou that had good incoming current. All it took was a few casts to the edge of the gut with a spinnerbait and I was hooked up with a fat 24-inch red.
The bait in the picture is Texas Tackle Factory's prototype "Baby Ray" wing bait. This is a unique bait that has tons of action, and it looks fantastic on a spinnerbait.
You have to see this bait to appreciate it. Here's a short video showing the Ray in action: http://bit.ly/ba9Iwq
Unfortunately, that red was the only thing we convinced to eat on Saturday. With the current frontal system moving through it's going to push the shallow bite back even further into next month. I believe it's ready to happen shallow - we just need a little break from these constant fronts, cloudy skies and chilly rain. If we can get 4 or 5 days of sun that water temperature should hit 60 - and that should get some bait on the move.

A man in uniform is not one that gets easily overlooked, and blogger Chad from Paris knows that neither do these red hot H&M denim jeans. Combined with a military inspired jacket, leather bracelets, and this style is sure to be an eye-catcher in all around the world. Keep in mind that in order to rock this look you do not need to (AKA please don't) stand in any of these poses, as a more au natural stance is a classic and bit more lovable look.

Written by David Richards

Category name i.e.HOME
This time last year TV vendors were flogging 3D as a reason to buy a new TV, this year its Smart TV technology and before that it was the introduction of Freeview, a technology that was more about controlling ad skipping than watching TV.
So what do you do? Go along with what TV vendors are telling you or, do you go and buy a digital TV recorder that has smart technology built into a box that can be attached to any TV and is still there when you upgrade your TV.
One such box is the new $449 Humax HDR 7500T which includes the Ice TV electronic program guide as well as the ability to instantly skip TV advertising with the press of a button. $200 cheaper than the premium priced $650 Topfield
Masterpiece + the Humax offering has a lot going for it.
Already the bestselling DVR in the UK and Germany the new Humax offering has a significantly smaller footprint than previous model, digital set top boxes from other vendors, it's also easier on the eyes with a sleek black plastic casing that is more like the new generation HD TV's now being sold by retailers.
At 380mm wide, 55mm high, 246mm deep and weighing just 2.75kg, this device can easily sit next to a TV or be slid away into a TV cabinet.
Out of the box this device is easy to configure but don't bank on being able to easily read the Humax Quick Installation Guide. The text is well below an acceptable 10 point font used by most publishers and even with glasses on I struggled to read the installation document.
Under the bonnet the Humax offering is well specked with the option of a 500GB or 1TB hard drive. Personally I think a 500GB drive is irrelevant today as there is little difference in price between 500GB and a one Terabyte version.If my Foxtel Q Box which has a 500GB drive is anything to go by you can easily run out of space when recording shows over a two week period which I often do when I am away.
The HDR 7500T has twin tuners and allows for chasing and time shift recording.
What I would like to see in future digital recorders is the ability to backward record TV programs that one has missed or failed to record. Currently we can only record forward programs for seven days, but there is a DVR in development the UK which has a 7 day backward electronic program guide.
The quality of the image delivered to the screen using the Humax DVR was excellent. With built in 1080 HD and upscaling that allows 720p content to be upscaled to 1080p the device is as good if not better than several other digital video recorders that we have reviewed.
With a built in Ethernet port the device can be easily plugged into the Internet however a big letdown is the lack of built Wi Fi.
Instead users are given a Humax WI Fi adapter which has to be plugged into the single USB port which makes it difficult to attach an external USB attach storage device when using Wi Fi.
One of the most noticable improvements with this device is the self-help configuration guide, that pops up when you first turn on the DVR. After being prompted to identify where you live the device easily configures the TV stations.
Unlike several other DVR devices the Humax software delivers the various stations in logical order using very clear fonts which are easy to read.
Bundled in with this device is the Ice TV electronic program guide which after being configured is easy to use however you do have to pay an annual subscription fee of $49 per annum to get access to this service or a $99 fee which gives you access to the Ice TV service for five years or the life of the box.
A big benefit in using the Ice TV EPG TV Guide is the availability of Android and Apple iPhone and iPad applications which when downloaded to a a tablet or Smartphone allows users to access the Humax DVR from remote locations which is handy if you have forgotten to record a program.
The Humax software allows users to navigate around the DVR easily easily even when configuring such services as an Internet connection. All you have to do to configure the Internet is go to menu, settings and then network settings. In most cases the setting will be DHCP so all you have to do is highlight DHCP, hit the apply button and within seconds your box is configured, for more complex configurations there are drop down menus.
Like a lot of the new Smart TV's the new Humax DVR has an application TV portal that gives users access to online services such as YouTube, Goggle Picasa and Wiki@ TV.
The best application is the ABC iView which allows users to access catch up TV such as your favourite ABC shows.
Stereo sound output from the device was also good due to the use of Dolby Digital + users can also easily configure the picture according to different aspect ratios.
One of the biggest advantages of owning this DVR is that it has the ability to fast forward content at up to double the speed one can fast forward on a Freeview certified device. You can also skip advertising between programs by pressing a button as opposed to having to fast forward at 30X frames when using a Foxtel DVR or Freeview enabled device.
ProThis is an excellent DVR which unlike a lot of other offerings can be purchased online at www.icetv.com.au for $499 Vs $649 for the new Topfield Masterpiece which is being sold at Harvey Norman.
The Humax software coupled with full featured hardware is what makes all the difference. The software is easy to configure and above all well set out so that the menu is easy to follow. Text is clear and logical and the new TV portal is easy to
access via a green button on the remote. Another big benefit is the inclusion of the Ice TV EPG. This allows users to operate outside of a device that has Freeview restrictions. The hardware is the best you can get in a DVR which is not surprising
considering Humax who are a Korean Company are one of the biggest manufacturers of digital video recorders.
ConsI would have liked to have seen the mute button right next to the volume control as opposed to being located at the top of the remote.The device only has one USB port which makes running an extend storage device and wireless difficult. The
wireless should have been built in freeing up the USB port. What I suggest is that you buy a USB port so that you can attach both the Wi Fi Dongle and additional storage.

"With all Mix No. 6 shoes I have to order a half size larger than normal, just something about this brand. These shoes are a perfect wardrobe foundation. They're classic, chic, and perfect for almost every outfit. Every woman should own a pair like this. These will be with me through some long meetings for years to come."

"These shoes are cute but just as a heads up the shoes from this company are slightly uneven. This is the second pair of mix no. 6 shoes I have bought this year and on both pairs the left is slightly bigger then the right. I have to look really hard to notice and I got such great deals on both pairs I did not return them."
