Climate Ride Death Valley
General Information
Death Valley National Park
Escape to one of the greatest surprises in the West and a cycling experience that simply cannot be duplicated anywhere else on the planet. This charitable cycling challenge explores the absolute best of Death Valley National Park, a renown cyclist's paradise with little car traffic, pleasant springtime weather, and unparalleled desert vistas. In springtime the average daytime high is 72-80 degrees – great cycling weather!
On Climate Ride Death Valley, you'll spend four days cycling 250 miles of paved roads passing spectacular salt flats, desert oases, cathedrals of red rock, and views of towering mountains like Telescope Peak (11,000 feet). With comfortable daytime temperatures, roads that are practically empty to cars, and the fact that you're riding below sea level, it's the perfect spring training! Additional adventures include short hikes and soothing dips in hot springs. Professional guides will accompany us each day to share knowledge about the area's unique ecosystem for you to bring home to your community.
Wildlife and wildflowers animate the space between salt spires and sand dunes in this epic park. When the desert sun drops below the jagged horizon, the dazzling night sky sparks wonderment with its display of stars. This is a once in a lifetime experience, and we want you to join us!

Day 1 – Arrival Day
Participants must arrive into Las Vegas, NV no later than 12:30 pm (we'll need to incorporate 4 hours post arrival for our drive to camp and bike fitting).
We will have two locations to pick up riders:
1 pm - pick up at airport (Terminal 1 on level Zero)
1:30 pm - pick up at Hyatt Place Hotel
Please see the Travel Information tab for details on car parking and pickups. We will arrive at our camp around 5 pm to enjoy our first evening together!
Day 2 – Ride Stovepipe to Panamint Springs – 31 or 52 miles
We begin our journey from Stovepipe Wells at sea level to Panamint Springs. It is a steady climb, and at 2000 ft we get to Emigrant Junction, where we take the road to Wildrose Canyon. This route takes us via Emigrant Pass (5328 ft) to our lunch spot high in the mountains. After lunch, you have the option to visit the Wildrose Charcoal Kilns, ride back through Emigrant Pass, or shuttle to camp. NOTE: due to ongoing road closures at Wildrose, this is an alternate route for this day that takes us back to the highway and an optional climb. The full mileage is close to 100 miles, so be prepared to shuttle part of this day.
Day 3 – Panamint Springs to Furnace Creek – 56 miles
Day 3 is another fabulous and challenging day of cycling from Panamint Springs to Furnace Creek. After 24 miles we encounter Towne Pass (4956 ft) followed by an 18 mile down hill - 5000 ft of continuous drop to Stovepipe Wells and the bottom of Death Valley. We continue down the valley over undulating terrain to the oasis of Furnace Creek. Although we'll climb 3400 ft today we get to enjoy a 5000 ft downhill to our overnight stop!
Day 4 – Furnace Creek to Shoshone – 79 miles
Well-rested, we will head out, passing the nearly evaporated Lake Manley, which at one point filled the entire valley. Maybe you'll catch sight of a tiny Pupfish, remnant of those wetter days, forced to adapt to dry conditions by learning to live in water five times as salty as the ocean's. Then, we venture to Badwater Basin, the lowest elevation in North America and eighth lowest location on earth at 282 ft below sea level! We begin with a steady climb into the clean air of the Amargosa River Valley and as we start descending we begin to breathe the crisp, clean air of Shoshone's world class skies and take in the geology that marvel's the town's colorful history and rich mining district.
Day 5 – Shoshone to Furnace Creek – 64 miles
Climb up and out of Amargosa Valley after sampling the healing waters of Shoshone hot springs and pool. The climb out (via Death Valley Junction) is long but never steep, and once over the top the run south through the Greenwater Mountains is all downhill. Following an optional stop at Zabriskie Point – one of the most panoramic views in the park – we head downhill to celebrate our cycling accomplishment for the week with an amazing dinner.
Day 6 – Departure Day
This morning we say goodbye to beautiful Death Valley. We will shuttle you back to Las Vegas with drop-offs at the preferred hotel and the airport. We will return to Las Vegas by 12 pm, so you should arrange for afternoon flights no earlier than 2 pm, or you can stay extend your stay.
Travel Information
The trip begins with pick-ups in Las Vegas, NV, which is very easy to get to. McCarran International Airport (LAS) is located on the south end of the Strip with daily flights offered by many carriers. Riders MUST arrive into Las Vegas, NV no later than 12 pm on the day the trip begins. Our shuttle information is below (we have a 3-hour shuttle to our camp).
The shuttle will pick up at the airport (Terminal 1 on level Zero) at 1 pm.
The shuttle will pick up at the Hyatt Place Las Vegas at 1:30 pm.
The Hyatt Place is a preferred hotel with special rates if you plan to stay in Las Vegas before and after the ride (more information about this pre/post-ride hotel option and pricing will be included in your Travel Planner after you register).
If you are driving to Las Vegas, you have several options for parking your car for the week. You can park at the Hyatt Place Hotel where we can pick you up for the trip. The airport has long-term parking available for $16/day. An alternative is OneStopParking – they list local hotels where you can park for a fee, sometimes as low as $4.25/day. A full list of Las Vegas parking garages can be found here.
When the trip ends, we will shuttle you back to Las Vegas with drop-offs at the preferred hotel and the airport. We will return to Las Vegas by 12 pm so you can book afternoon flights after 2 pm, or you can stay extend your stay.
Since this is a special departure, we are including a special set of FAQ's just for Climate Ride Death Valley. If these don't cover the questions you have, don't hesitate to shoot us an email!
Is this a fundraising event?
Yes. This is a charitable, fundraising event produced by Climate Ride. Your fundraising proceeds will support your chosen beneficiaries and the Climate Ride cause.
What is the required fundraising minimum?
The fundraising commitment for this event is $2800, to be raised by February 17th, 2017.
What are the fundraising deadlines? How do I secure my spot on the trip?
In order to secure your spot on the Death Valley Ride, you must raise at least $500 by January 20th, 2017 (5 weeks before the trip begins). If you haven't, you must make a credit card deposit of the difference up to $500. You must meet your fundraising minimum commitment of $2800 by February 17th, 2017 - approximately one week before the trip departs. If you are not at the minimum by then, you may self-pledge the remainder. You can continue fundraising (up until December 1st) and request a one-time reimbursement from Climate Ride when your fundraising is complete.
I've nervous about the fundraising. Will I be able to do this?
Absolutely! This is one of riders' biggest concerns. We want you to know it's easier than you think and we're here to help you! Please reach out to Russ if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat about messaging and strategies. You can also visit our fundraising tips page to get started.
How much is Registration, and what does it include?
The registration fee is $100. This event is fully supported, which means we take care of everything. All you have to do is show up and ride. Here's a short list of what's included:
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as snacks and water stops each day.
- On Route support, including SAG vehicles and expert leaders and staff.
- A fully marked route, with maps and directions.
- Overnight lodging each night at beautiful campgrounds in & around the park. (Hotel options are available. See the Travel Planner for more specific information).
- Daily luggage transport to the next camp (you don't have to bike with your gear!).
- Nightly events and talks from engaging speakers about Death Valley and its environs.
- Access to donation software via the web, where you can customize your own Personal Fundraising Page to manage your fundraising and donations.
- Fundraising and logistical support from our amazing office staff.
What do I need to bring on the ride?
All riders need to bring a bicycle, helmet, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and a small suitcase or duffle containing clothes, toiletries, and anything else necessary for several days on the road (see below for bike and gear rental). The Travel Planner & Experience Guide will contain a more detailed suggested packing list. This document will be distributed to participants several weeks before the event. Although we provide healthy snacks and electrolyte products, if you have a non-perishable personal favorite or brand please feel free to bring some along!
Great news! You can rent high performance bikes & camping gear through our local outfitter! Detailed information is provided in the Travel Planner & Experience Guide.
> How do I rent a bike for the trip?
You can rent a high performance bike from our local outfitter! Choices include a Trek Touring Hybrid 7.2 FX Disc, Specialized Allez Elite, Specialized Roubaix Elite or a Trek Emonda.
Prices range from $125 - $313 for the week.
> I want to bring my own bike. Can I ship it to you to be build and ready for me?
Yes, you can ship your bike to our outfitter where they will build it, transfer it to Death Valley and then re-pack it and ship it home to you. You will find detailed information in your Travel Planner. The outfitter will charge you $50 to build the bike and $50 to pack it up, plus the shipping costs. The bike must arrive 96 hours before the trip start on February 25th. The bike will be packed and shipped home no less than 96 hours after the ride.
I see there are only 30 spots available... sounds like I need to get my spot soon?
Yes, this is one of our small departure trips and this group size makes for an incredible and intimate experience. Get your spot!
What happens if I have to cancel? What is the Cancellation Policy?
We know the unforeseen can happen. If you are unable to attend this event, please email Russ as soon as possible with the details of your situation. Due to the limited number of spots on the ride, a cancellation policy is in effect. Donations and registration fees are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another participant.
How do I get to the trip start?
The trip will begin in Las Vegas, Nevada. (See more in the travel information tab.) You can get to Las Vegas by plane or car. We have full details in the Travel Planner, which is emailed to all participants ahead of the event. You must arrive at the latest on the Saturday, February 25th by 1 pm. The earliest you could book a flight to depart would be 2 pm on March 2nd, 2017. There is no additional charge for the shuttle to and from Las Vegas.
Can I drive and park in Death Valley and meet up with the ride there, rather than go to Las Vegas?
Yes, you can. We will notify you of a place where you can park your car. Please send an email to our office with this request.
Where do we stay? What are the overnight accommodations like?
We will be staying at campgrounds in and around the park, with stunning views of what makes Death Valley such a beautiful site to visit. All of the campgrounds will have hot showers and restrooms available. Camping is included.
Hotels near camp can be arranged at an additional cost on each night of this ride. Hotel space is limited in Death Valley and sell out quickly. Please contact our office for availability and pricing. More detailed information about overnight locations is provided in the Travel Planner and Experience Guide that will be distributed to each participant several weeks before the event.
Is there good cell phone service or wi-fi during the ride?
Certain places in and near the park will have phone service. However, the park is remote and your service may come in and out. Text messages are the best bet if you need to get in touch with someone.
Biking and Route Support
What kind of support can I expect while on the road?
Climate Ride has experienced, friendly, and professional support staff. We have rest stops each day with snacks and water, and on-route we have vehicle support ('SAG' wagons), mechanics, and a medical team. You can also expect an unlimited supply of camaraderie and encouragement from the support staff and your fellow riders!
What kind of bicycle and pedals do I need?
The most important factor in choosing a bike and pedals is comfort. You want to be riding a bike and using pedals that you will be comfortable riding with for multiple hours a day, for several days in a row. We have a webpage all about cycling equipment, including bikes and pedals.
Am I better off with a double or triple chainring?
If you have the option - you own or have access to two different bikes - go with a triple chainring, as there will certainly be hills to contend with on this ride. If you only have a double and/or prefer them, that'll work just fine too. Either way, make sure you incorporate hills into your training!
Should I get my bike tuned before this ride?
YES! We highly recommend getting your bike tuned up at least two weeks before the ride, especially if it's older and/or your bike mechanic skills are limited. You may need the additional time if parts are needed. We recommend using your local bike shop (support local retailers!). While we will have mechanics on the ride to help you if something goes wrong, there's nothing worse than seeing your friends pedal out of camp while your bike is getting a shifter fixed. You'll have a lot more fun riding a smoothly running bike than standing around in your chammy, waiting. Also, the mechanics on the ride ask that you not use them as your free yearly tune-up. It's poor form.
Can you accommodate my special bike (recumbent, tandem, over-sized, electric, etc.)?
Probably! These types of bicycles most likely will not fit on our support vehicle's bike racks, depending on the size and style. We cannot put special bikes into the support vans because that space is reserved for support supplies and to support riders in need of transport. In addition, we can only offer shuttles from where there are safe pull-off locations on the road. These can occasionally be far and few between in the Park. Generally, you can bring a special bike if you are physically able to ride every mile of the route, since we may not be able to transport it. Please email Andrew to discuss the possibility of bringing a special bike.
*As of 2015, our insurance policy has special requirements for electric or electric assist bikes that are permitted on our events. Electric or electric assist bikes permitted on our events are defined as: "a two-or three wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph." If you have questions about this, please email us.
Can I bring my hard-shell box?
Yep! If you are traveling to the trip start with a hard-shell bike case, email Russ to reserve your space. We will have space for a limited number of hard shell boxes.
Do I need to be a racer/hardcore cyclist to do this trip?
Absolutely not! This is a tour, not a race. This ride is great for new cyclists and seasoned riders alike. You don't need an expensive racing bike to get out there and pedal for the cause. To have the best possible ride, it is important to find a bicycle that is comfortable for you to ride most of the day and to begin a training program. Please see our tips on training here.
Still have questions? Shoot Russ an email and he'll be happy to help you out!

ABC Releases "Most Memorable Year" Video Teasers For DWTS Season 18 Week 2
These are so touching. Below is Drew Carey and Amy Purdy in a preview for what we'll see in their "Most Memorable Year" packages tonight on Dancing With The Stars.
These are so touching. Below is Drew Carey and Amy Purdy in a preview for what we'll see in their "Most Memorable Year" packages tonight on Dancing With The Stars.
I'm a fashion and music fan....and I have always loved dancing too of any kind. Dancing With The Stars seems to have this way of bringing all of those things together. One of my favorite dancing quotes at the moment: "No matter what, nobody can take away the dance you've already had...." ~Gleb Savchenko . For fun music and dance mixes, visit WilUnleashed Soundcloud. To view my photography site, see Lisa Kay Photography.
Powerful stuff in store tonight. So after putting the pairings through a week of such intense bonding, TPTB saw fit to end the evening with 'EVERYBODY SWITCH!' #facepalm
@Wynn But how can they switch tonight? Voting doesn't end until 11:59 PT this evening.
Oh lord. So do they announce the pairings next week (week 4) and then everyone dances with their switch partner for week 5? Or do they just do it behind the scenes tomorrow and spring the new pairings on us next week? This whole thing is so confusing!
It's that time of year once again folks. There are other sites out there mimicking us, but none of them...
Candace Cameron Bure has written a new blog for People. She talks of last week's dance and scores and sets...
So for those of you who had the "2.5 weeks" slot in the "How Far Into This Season Can Maks...

I Love The Way You Do That Lyrics
Artist: Lonestar
Album: Lonestar
Talk about a sweet situation
Girl you've got me in one
You can lock me in your heart
And throw away the key
We can get a little fire going
Let burn it all night
'Cause I love the way you do that
It makes me want you so bad
And baby you can do that
Anytime at all
Fingers on my skin
Your doing it again
I love the way you do that, do that
If you doubt my love and affection
Girl I'm gonna show you
I ain't holdin' anything back
You can have it all
Your wrapping me around you finger
And I don't want you to stop
(Repeat chorus)
Well I can see it in your eyes
You can probably read my mind
Oh you know just exactly what I want
(Repeat chorus twice)
'Cause I love the way you do that
It makes me want you so bad
And baby you can do that
Anytime at all.

This includes discussions related to the issues and evidence in an attempt to resolve the case through stipulations and settlement. A pre-hearing order will be prepared to document the outcome of the conference. If there are issues that cannot be resolved at this level, an evidentiary hearing will be scheduled at a later date.
What is an Evidentiary Hearing?
This is a formal hearing that is conducted in Topeka at the ABC office. The Assistant Attorney General assigned to the ABC and the licensee each present testimony and/or evidence before the ABC Director. At the close of the hearing, the ABC Director will make a ruling based upon the evidence and testimony presented.

How long do I have to pay the administrative fine?
Payment instructions are included on each notice or order.
What happens if I do not pay the administrative fine by the due date?

Unpaid fines will prohibit the renewal of your liquor license.
What happens if I am not able to make my pre-hearing conference or hearing date?
You may request a continuance in writing to the Director of the ABC, who will review the request and make a decision as to whether a continuance will be granted. If the director grants your continuance request, the ABC will send you documents with the rescheduled date and time. If the director does not grant your continuance and you fail to appear, the conference or hearing will be held without your presence and a proposed default order will be issued.
Do I have appeal options for a proposed default order?
Yes, you may request reconsideration by the director and instructions to do so are included on the order.
Do I have appeal options for an Initial/Final Order?
Yes, you may request an appeal and instructions to do so are included on the order. Any licensee aggrieved by an order of the director may appeal by filing a notice of appeal with the Secretary of Revenue.

Swimsuits finally suggested outdoor physical exertion and stopped imitating stage and ballroom styles. Close-fitting knits resembled athletic gear and permitted real swimming. The only theft from the evening dress was the daringly low-cut back, well adapted to the new fad for sun-bathing.

Krewe of Bacchus taps Jim Caviezel to reign as king in 2017 parade
The Krewe of Bacchus has announced its king for 2017.Actor Jim Caviezel has been tapped for the honor of Bacchus XLIX. He is known for his portrayal of Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ" in 2004 as well as his role in "Person of Interest," the CBS crime series. Caviezel, a native of Mount Vernon, Washington, has worked on multiple films in the New Orleans area, according to a release. The theme for the Bacchus parade will be "Salute to the Saints' 50th." It will include 21 Saints floats, fans, mascots and former players. The parade will be on Sunday, Feb. 25, beginning at 5:15 p.m. at Tchoupitoulas Street and Napoleon Avenue. - THEADVOCATE.COM
Napoleon Avenue streetwork will be complete before 2017 parades, Corps says
Napoleon Avenue paradegoers can get their "Neutral Ground Side" T-shirts out of mothballs for 2017's Carnival season. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, all major construction on the avenue will be complete before the first parades roll. "The project is scheduled to be complete early next year and the neutral ground will be available for paradegoers to stand on for Mardi Gras 2017!" said a celebratory post on the Facebook page for the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project. More specifically, all major construction on Napoleon Avenue will be finished by the time the first Uptown parade, the Krewe of Oshun, rolls at 6 p.m. Feb. 17, according to Corps spokesman Ricky Boyett's office. Sod will be in place on the entire length of the Napoleon Avenue neutral ground, no areas will be fenced off and no holes will remain open in the ground because construction on the underground box culvert already is finished. If any work on the avenue is still unfinished by that point, it will be minor items like individual curb or sidewalk repairs, Boyett's office said. Landscaping of the entire Napoleon Avenue neutral ground is then scheduled for the fall planting season in 2017, officials have said. - THEADVOCATE.COM
Krewe Du Vieux 2017 crowns cartoonist Bunny Matthews king
A representative of Krewe Du Vieux, that most politically rude and sexually risque of Mardi Gras parades, has confirmed that cartoonist Bunny Matthews will reign as king of this years' Feb. 11 procession. "To me, he fits the role of our monarch perfectly," said the Krewe du Vieux's Poobah of Publicity Keith Twitchell. "He's revered for what he's done to create one more little bizarre piece of New Orleans culture. - NOLA.COM
Krewe of Pandora to sit out 2017; no Lundi Gras parades in Metairie
One less Carnival krewe will roll next year in Jefferson Parish. Organizers with the Krewe of Pandora told WDSU that its parade will not return in 2017. Pandora was set to roll on Lundi Gras, the Monday before Mardi Gras, at 7 p.m. on the traditional Metairie route. WDSU reporter Aubry Killion said krewe members told him that the parade will return in 2018, but additional details about the decision to not roll next year were not released. Pandora first rolled last year after branching off from the Mystic Krewe of Nyx in New Orleans. It had 17 floats and was an all-female krewe. With Pandora's absence next year, Metairie will have no parades on Lundi Gras. The krewes of Orpheus and Proteus roll in neighboring Orleans Parish. Jefferson Parish officials have not released a statement about Pandora's decision. - WDSU.COM
Societé du Champs Elysées planning inaugural Twelfth Night ride on Rampart streetcar line
A new krewe will be riding the rails come Twelfth Night in 2017, using the newly opened North Rampart streetcar line to provide an homage to the traditional Uptown heralds of Carnival.The streetcar will be filled with masked riders and a band for the inaugural ride of the Societé du Champs Elysées, disembarking at every stop for a toast and some bead throwing before continuing their route from Elysian Fields Avenue to the Union Passenger Terminal and back.The krewe was inspired by the completion of the new streetcar line and the investment it has brought to nearby neighborhoods below Canal Street, said David Roe, the founder and captain of the krewe. "Already the attitude in the neighborhood has changed," said Roe, who said he can see the streetcar's last stop from his porch on Elysian Fields. Roe was inspired to form the krewe on the first day of the new line, when the streetcar he was riding in was joined by a flash mob of accordionists. In an effort not to overshadow its forebears, the Societé du Champs Elysées won't start its route until 7:30 p.m., giving the Phunny Phorty Phellows a half-hour head start. The members will get out at each stop for a champagne toast and to throw beads, something that Regional Transit Authority rules prevent them from doing while in the streetcar. Given the different route lengths, Roe said he hopes the timing means that both streetcar-riding krewes could find themselves on Canal Street at about the same time, separated by a few blocks. In fact, Roe said he hopes the idea spreads to other streetcar lines. He said he's heard some Mid-City residents are considering forming a krewe of their own on the Canal Street route. "We want to bring the whole town into this thing," Roe said.. - THEADVOCATE.COM
Mardi Gras season parade, Athena, seeks move from Metairie to Terrytown
The Krewe of Athena, a two-year-old Mardi Gras season organization, wants to move its parade from Metairie to Terrytown. In a letter to Jefferson Parish officials, Athena President Shonitra Vaughn said the parade's start time in Metairie, combined with cold weather, have left few spectators on its route. The Gretna route would begin at the old Kmart building on Belle Chasse Highway and end at Oakwood Shopping Center, Vaughn said in the letter. Athena wants to keep its Feb. 17 date for Carnival 2017. Moving Athena would be a blow to Metairie's Mardi Gras, which has struggled in the past 20 years. But it would boost Mardi Gras on the West Bank, which has struggled even more. Vaughn addressed her letter to Parish President Mike Yenni and Sheriff Newell Normand. Changing the route also would be subject to approval of Parish Councilman Ricky Templet, whose district includes Terrytown.. - NOLA.COM
Krewe Du Vieux 2017 crowns cartoonist Bunny Matthews king
A representative of Krewe Du Vieux, that most politically rude and sexually risqué of Mardi Gras parades, has confirmed that cartoonist Bunny Matthews will reign as king of this years' Feb. 11 procession. Mathews is much beloved by Big Easy baby boomers for his irreverently indigenous cartoons of 9th Ward barkeeps Vic and Nat'ly Broussard that appeared in The Times-Picayune, Offbeat and other publications from the 1970s into the 20-teens. Matthews' work is distinguished by his endearingly jittery drawing style, his acidic observations, his unaccountable affection for tiny Chihuahua dogs and enormous cockroaches, plus his devotion to old-time Crescent City culture and elocution.. - NOLA.COM
Zulu's 'Stop the Violence' theme for Mardi Gras 2017 parade tackles solemn civic issue, breaking from tradition
After three members lost their sons to violence in recent years, the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club has decided to do something very out of keeping for New Orleans Carnival: adopt a political message as its parade theme. Zulu will roll on Feb. 28 under the theme "Stop the Violence," marking what is thought to be the first time a major Carnival parade has tried to use its procession to address a civic or political issue solemnly as opposed to satirically, officials said Monday. Zulu President Naaman Craig Stewart said he anticipates more than 1 million people will view his krewe's parade on the route or watching on TV or online. The purpose of the theme is to challenge the audience to join the city's battle against perennially high rates in some crime categories, including homicides.. - THEADVOCATE.COM
Non-Flood Protection board approves Krewe of Nyx plaque at Mardi Gras Fountain
The board of the Non-Flood Protection Asset Management Authority (NFPAMA) approved a request by the Krewe of Nyx for a plaque at the Mardi Gras Fountain located on Lakeshore Drive. The Mardi Gras Fountain is an asset owned by the Orleans Levee District and is under the management of the Non-Flood Protection board. The Non-Flood Protection board unanimously approved the Krewe of Nyx plaque during the board's last monthly public meeting on Sept. 22. According to an email from the NFPAMA, the Krewe of Nyx agreed to all the guidelines regarding tile placement and cost of the plaque. These guidelines are determined by the Orleans Levee District, and they dictate that the cost of a new plaque is $470, which covers the new stone base with color inlay. Decorative tiles are placed on a cast stone base about two feet high and two feet long and wide. The plaques are on a slope; their tile patterns can be a maximum of three colors, and the base of the tile can be a fourth. The Mardi Gras Fountain is located on the Lakefront, between General Haig and Amethyst Streets. - GENTILLYMESSENGER.COM
Chewbacchus parade 2017: Route to change as nerds expand sideways
The Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus parade, which takes place Feb. 18, 2017, will be eliminating some of the narrower streets along its route, according to krewe captain Ryan Ballard. Last years' walking parade was unexpectedly long, in part because the crowd-sandwiched streets of the Marigny and Bywater caused paraders to follow one another in what sometimes became a single file procession, Ballard said. A wider path will also allow more breathing room for the motorized art cars that became part of the spectacle last year. If all goes as planned, the 2017 parade will line up on Press Street and follow St. Peter Street to Frenchmen Street as usual. Last year, the already attenuated parade hung a right on narrow Dauphine Street. But in 2017, the parade will stay on Frenchmen Street all the way to spacious St. Claude Avenue, where it will turn downriver and proceed straight to the krewe den near Poland Avenue, sans bottlenecks. Adding breadth to the last major part of the route will presumably allow several paraders to walk abreast, thereby shortening the parade in the long run. Or, as Ballard put it, "the wider streets can accommodate the nerds expanding sidewise." - NOLA.COM
Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale announces royalty, theme for Carnival 2017
Krewe officials said Dawn R. Bentley-Johnson will reign as queen-select in 2017. Femme Fatale will parade under the theme "MKFF Hosts Game Day." "Once New Orleans was in the running for the 2017 NBA All-Star game, I never dreamed our theme would coincide with the event," said Femme Fatale president and founder Gwendolyn V. Rainey. "Knowing the game would be held the same day as our annual parade, it seemed only fitting and we are going to have an exciting fun-filled weekend." - WDSU.COM
NBA All-Star Game will not affect first weekend of Mardi Gras parades, city officials say.
Lost in the news that New Orleans has been awarded the 2017 NBA All-Star Game is the significance of the game's date, Sun. Feb. 19, 2017 — which also happens to be the first Sunday of major Mardi Gras parades on St. Charles Avenue, with the krewes of Femme Fatale, Carrollton, King Arthur and Alla rolling one after another. Those parades, of course, come within blocks of the Smoothie King Center, where the All-Star Game will be played. Unlike 2013, however, when the city of New Orleans moved the first weekend of parades up a week earlier to accommodate crowds for Super Bowl XLVII, the parade dates and route largely are set and will not be changed to any great degree, according to Stephen Perry, President and CEO of the New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau. "It's going to be one of the most interesting and complicated weekends we've ever had," Perry said. "In addition to the All-Star Game, we have two citywide conventions that weekend, we have a lot of corporate meetings and associations in hotels, and, of course, Mardi Gras. We're going to have a sold-out city." Asked for comment, C. Hayne Rainey, a spokesman for Mayor Mitch Landrieu, told Gambit, "We anticipate the All-Star Game events having a minimal impact on Mardi Gras parades and all All-Star events will occur at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and Smoothie King Center." "We've got a lot of work to do," Perry said, adding that there is a possibility that krewes will roll earlier than usual that Sunday in order to keep downtown congestion to a minimum. - BESTOFNEWORLEANS.COM
New Orleans jazz clarinet legend Pete Fountain dies at 86; jazz funeral being planned
Pete Fountain, the iconic traditional jazz clarinetist whose sweet sound and merry spirit personified New Orleans for millions of fans, died early Saturday after a decade of declining health. He was 86. For more than half a century, Fountain loomed large over the city's cultural landscape, from music to Mardi Gras to Bourbon Street. His lush, swinging clarinet tone instantly evoked his hometown. His recordings of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" and "Basin Street Blues" are widely considered to be among the quintessential versions. At least three of his dozens of albums sold more than a half-million copies apiece. He represented Dixieland jazz on an international stage, thanks in part to a high-profile role on "The Lawrence Welk Show" and 59 appearances on "The Tonight Show" during the Johnny Carson era. He performed for four presidents and a pope. Despite his fame, his fondness for fun never waned. An abundance of self-deprecating one-liners and wisecracks -- "My wife should have left me on the honeymoon" was a favorite, as was "I used to be taller" -- were part of his irrepressible character. Along the way, he hung out with everyone from Louis Armstrong to Dolly Parton to Hank Williams Jr. In general, he lived life large as Mr. New Orleans, the unofficial ambassador of good-time New Orleans jazz. "It snuck up on me," Fountain once said of fame. "I didn't look for it. I never did strive for anything. Through the years I just wanted to play. I enjoy playing. When you enjoy playing, and your clarinet is singing, it's stealing. You feel like, 'They give me money to do this?' "But some nights when it's not working, you say, 'Boy, I wish I had taken over my daddy's beer route.'" . - THEADVOCATE.COM

Nash and officers Glenda Dobson, Judy Frentz and Susan Grantham jointly decided to retire from the Krewe of Eve board. Fair was previously the krewe's secretary and coordinator of krewe royalty. Serving with Fair are returning officers Valerie Dupont as president and Christine Tadlock as treasurer/secretary, as well as new board member Amanda Jones, who will serve as vice president in charge of membership and publicity. With a 2017 Theme of "Eve of Broadway," membership is at 400 and continues to grow. "This is a very exciting time for us as we design costumes and select our throws that are sure to entertain parade-goers of all ages," Fair said. Eve is set to roll through the streets of Mandeville on Friday, Feb. 17.. - THEADVOCATE.COM
Famed photographer's archive is donated to the Historic New Orleans Collection
The photographic treasures of Harold Baquet, whose work spans three decades and captured the flavor and culture of Black New Orleans and chronicled important events in the history of Black America, were recently donated to The Historic New Orleans Collection. The colossal donation of the New Orleans native's life's work reportedly includes thousands of photographic images, contact sheets, slides, negatives and other items. Baquet died at the age of 56 on June 18, 2015 after a lengthy battle with colon cancer. The donation, which includes Baquet's photos depicting Black life and culture in the Crescent City, represents a major acquisition for The Historic New Orleans Collection which announced the donation last week. The 7th Ward native's work has appeared in The Louisiana Weekly and many other local publications as well as national publications like Ebony, Jet, Essence, Time and Rolling Stone magazines. Included in the photojournalist's collection are seminal images of Black Mardi Gras Indians, jazz musicians, second lines, Mardi Gras traditions, social aid and pleasure clubs, jazz funeral processions, various activities in the French Quarter, local elected officials and community leaders. His photos also captured the heart and soul of daily Black life in the Big Easy, especially in the 7th Ward and the Faubourg Tremé. - LOUISIANAWEEKLY.COM

Bacchus to salute the Saints' 50th season in 2017 parade
It looks like the Krewe of Bacchus is jumping on the Saints bandwagon. Next Mardi Gras, Bacchus will salute the Saints' 50th season for its 2017 parade theme, which the krewe unveiled Friday (June 3) on Facebook. The Saints officially turn 50 on Nov. 1, 2016. Fans of the black and gold will see 21 Saints-themed floats during Bacchus' parade, according to the post, including individual float themes like "Saints Fans, Saints Mascots, Da Zebras, 2009 World Champions, All Saints Day-Nov. 1, 1966, Dirty Bird Gumbo, Rebirth, When the Saints Go Marching In and others." The parade rolls on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017. And -- because we know you're wondering -- Super Bowl Sunday will have already passed with its scheduled Feb. 5, 2017, date in Houston.. - NOLA.COM
Krewe of Nyx finances called into question
Rhesa Clay said growing up in New Orleans she always wanted to be part of a Mardi Gras Krewe."I had a fabulous time riding on my float and riding in Nyx," she said.She was excited to put on a costume and parade as a member of the Mystic Krewe of Nyx. That's until she got a letter back February informing her that she was no longer part of the organization. "I did not get an explanation. I was simply sent an email by the co-captain saying that my membership would not be renewed," Clay said. That's when she started to do some digging into how the Krewe is run and its captain Julie Lea. While Nyx is the goddess of night, Clay believes there should be some daylight shown on the group's finances. Especially when it comes to how member dues and other fees are being spent. "The fees were $650," she said. With more than 2,200 members that amounts to more than $1.4 million. When we pulled the most recent tax records on file that covered April 2014 to March 2015 the documents showed the group had a $106,164 deficit. "That concerns me as a Mardi Gras krewe. As the first all-female super-krewe, that's the kind of thing you don't want," Clay said."Where is the money actually going? Just be transparent," she said.. - WDSU.COM
Founders of New Orleans gay Carnival krewes share memories of early, elaborate balls
When New Orleans' gay Carnival krewes were first formed in the late 1950s, they operated in almost complete secrecy. Because of discriminatory laws, some of which banned people from cross-dressing, many of the krewes' balls and members were being targeted by law enforcement and even by private Citizens. Still, the gay community persisted, and over the decades the popularity of the krewes and their extravagant, often outlandish balls ballooned, until there were as many as 13 organizations in the 1980s. By then, invitations were highly sought after by members of all factions of society, according to Bill Woolley, founder of the Mystic Krewe of Celestial Knights and a founding member of Petronius, the oldest surviving gay krewe. "I thought we were doing more than just having a Mardi Gras ball," Woolley said Sunday. "I thought we were showing the world that the gay community was talented, and creative, and that we could do it." Woolley was among a dozen speakers during a panel discussion on "Pioneers of Gay Carnival: A Conversation with the Legends," presented by the Louisiana State Museum before a packed audience at the Old U.S. Mint on Esplanade Avenue. The event was moderated by Howard Smith, a writer, photographer and Fulbright scholar whose work has been featured in the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Contemporary Arts Center. Smith has spent 15 years on a research project that will culminate in a book, "Unveiling the Muse: Gay Carnival in New Orleans," to be published in 2017 by the University Press of Mississippi.. - THEADVOCATE.COM
Producing carnival throws in New Orleans instead of China, could bring $500M to the Crescent City
Each year we send $500 million to China to manufacture the throws and products that enable us to put on the greatest free show: Mardi Gras. One New Orleans group begs the question, "what if we fed the goose that laid the golden egg?" New Orleanians create an intriguing culture that attracts tourists from around the world while our own artists, musicians, and lower/middle class continue to struggle."Estimates show that the bead manufacturing industry is about $500,000,000 world wide," said Jade Brown Russell, a member of the Welcome Table New Orleans, a group of business and civic leaders who are suggesting we could create the capacity to manufacture Mardi Gras beads in New Orleans and keep that money right here. The Welcome Table is a collaborative project between Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration and the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation. It aims to address issues of race and social injustice, bringing a group of people together who might not have much in common. However in New Orleans, there is a common denominator everyone loves carnival no matter what your race or class may be. - WGNO.COM

Bacchus names 'Avengers' actor Anthony Mackie as celebrity monarch
The Krewe of Bacchus' announcement of this year's monarch came down to the wire, with just a month until their parade, but in the end they'll make history, with the parade's first African-American monarch: "Avengers" actor and New Orleans native Anthony Mackie.The announcement of this year's celebrity king had been delayed later than ever, but on Friday the krewe announced that Mackie will reign as Bacchus XLVIII when the parade rolls on February 7, which is also Super Bowl Sunday this year. A native of the city and NOCCA and Warren Easton alumnus, Mackie is perhaps best known for his heroic turn in the Marvel franchise films "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "The Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Antman," and the anticipated "Captain America: Civil War" as avian Avenger "The Falcon. " He can soon be seen starring opposite Kate Winslet and Woody Harrelson in "Triple 9.". - WWLTV.COM

Recording artist Solange Knowles will ride in the all-female Krewe of Muses' signature two-story shimmering shoe during the 2016 parade on Feb. 4, according to Muses Captain Staci Rosenberg.In a written statement, Rosenberg said that Solange will serve as the krewe's honorary Muse, a position "selected annually to honor a female role model who inspires the women of Muses by contributing to the arts in extraordinary ways and embodying the creative spirit of the nine original muses of Greek mythology. "In a subsequent telephone conversation, Rosenberg said she thought Knowles would be the perfect honorary Muse considering her devotion to music, fashion, charity and New Orleans.

"It is a true and incredible honor to be the 2016 Honorary Muse," Knowles said, in a written statement, "I am immensely humbled to join such an inspiring organization that celebrates such diversity, leadership, and philanthropy."The Krewe of Muses and I share the same passion for rejoicing in the overall magic and bad ass-ness of girlhood and all of the many ways we are able to express and embody being women!," she continued. - NOLA.COM

Life imprisonment for man who knifed businessman 30 times in 'random, senseless' murder
A schizophrenic man who murdered a "wholly innocent" engineer while on a drugs binge has been jailed for life.
Jobless Robert Kay, 49, walked past the open garage of Ian Dollery's seaside home in St Annes, Lancashire, and stabbed him in front of his screaming wife, Andrea, and their 22-year-old daughter, Grace.
The attack took place on the evening of June 18 last year just hours before the Dollerys were due to go holiday and after the defendant had injected himself with amphetamines and drunk eight cans of Tennent's Super lager.
Before the murder, Kay had told friends he was "the son of Satan" and had been given "a list of things to do".
The court was told Grace Dollery used a broomstick to force Kay, armed with a large kitchen knife, out of the garage of the detached property in York Road.
Father-of-three Mr Dollery, who worked at BAE Systems all his life, suffered more than 30 stab wounds, some made with considerable force, and later died in hospital.
Kay - who had never met his victim - had admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility but a jury at Preston Crown Court convicted him of murder.
The defendant was suffering from a long-standing illness at the time of the killing but had failed to co-operate with mental health services over the years, the court heard.
"My life, and that of my family and friends, has been shattered into tiny pieces never to be restored
"I am only here today because of my daughter's courage and quick thinking."
"This is a tragic case in which Ian Dollery was murdered in a random and senseless attack.
"He was cruelly taken away from his family by Robert Kay, a man who he did not know and had never met.
"Kay has now been brought to justice for his actions but I am aware that it will not bring Mr Dollery back and nothing will ever compensate his family for their loss.
"My thoughts, and those of the officers who worked on this case, remain with them at this time."

1) 4, 40m. (The Direct Start) An interesting pitch up the slab and a short crack below the usual start makes the climb one pitch longer. This bit is only 4 but the rest is 5+.
We rather liked the direct start, if only because it meant a bit extra climbing.
Its a nice pitch and it would be a shame if climbers dismissed it as being too easy when compared to the rest of Eagle Ridge.We agreed with the grading of Eagle Ridge, but thought the direct start was harder than the guidebook suggested

The College Board announced Wednesday that the SAT exam would undergo a major overhaul in 2016 to focus more on college readiness. Among other things, the exam no longer will include the penalty for incorrect answers, make the essay optional and return to a 1,600-point grading scale rather than 2,400. The College Board is partnering with the Khan Academy to offer free, high-quality courses to help students of all economic backgrounds prepare for both for the current SAT and the new test. "Our intention in this partnership is this will be the best thing out there," said Salman Khan, creator of Khan Academy.

After about 2 months of lurking around this site I decided to finally make an account to ask you far more experienced audiophiles some advice.
I am looking to buy my first serious portable rig with a budget of about 300-400$. Before this the best stuff I had was the Senn PC360 gaming headset and the Grado 6R60i but now its time for a upgrade.
Here is the stuff I have been looking at so far.
Headphones: Either the v-moda m80 or the v-moda m100 when it is available for general purchase in a month or so and if the SQ can justify the extra 100$.
Amp: Either a FiiO 7 or 11

Admittedly, I probably havn't spent as much time on anime as most of this site's users, but because I spend almost all of what little free time I have watching it, I figured I might as well make an account (even if simply to keep track of what I've seen ^_^)
It could be a few days (or weeks, or... something?) before I actually post anything relevant, but I intend on starting reviews and or recomendations shortly of what little I have seen. Any and all blank rankings are simply due to the fact that either I havn't seen an Anime recently, or that I havn't decided how many stars it deserves.
I'm open to any and all suggestions on anime (though my "want to watch" list is rapidly catching up to my "watched" list as it is). Keep in mind that any unranked anime I either cant remember very well (or at all) or didnt really care too much for. For example, I watched the various -mons and yu-gi-yo when i was still too young to know the distinction between cartoons and anime.
I am fully aware that very few (if any) people will care about my opinions, and I don't expect anyone to agree with them. I'm just here because I feel like being here and see no reason I shouldn't be.
Cheers ^_^
Edit: its been a couple years, and I still havn't written anything, so make that shortly a shortly tm
