"The beauty & splendour of the Caribbean Islands is hard to match but their vulnerability is evident when their lifeblood is at the mercy of mother nature. The islands need you to visit to help them reignite the economy."
The Bahamas, US & British Virgin Islands & St-Martin/Sint Maarten
Having spent the last 5 months touring around the Caribbean (read my Blog Post for more details), I have never been far from a conversation about hurricanes. Whether it is where people were, the personal impact, the property damage, moving boats for safety or preparing for the upcoming season, the potential for these monumental storms & the damage they cause is never far from people's minds. As we are now into the 2018 season (June – October) with predictions that this year could be even worse than last, I felt the time was right to share my experience & hand over some Top Tips to bear in mind if you are planning a visit to the area over the next year.
I arrived in The Bahamas a month after Hurricane Matthew had hit in October 2016. Matthew was a Category 4 hurricane which battered the islands with winds of up to 145mph, causing widespread flooding & disruption. In 2018, I visited a number of islands in the Caribbean which were in the path of Hurricanes Irma & Maria, both Category 5 storms, following each other by 10 days. I discovered that 6 months after the destruction caused by the worst season on record, the islands have done an amazing job to get up & running and are desperate to have the income generated by tourism back on track. I also found islands & people who have been left so devastated that the healing process will take many years still to come.
What do you need to know?
Before I start it's important to point out that the tips I'm sharing are very much practical considerations on visiting the area after the impact of a hurricane has been felt. During my time I spoke to many people who had lost everything – houses, businesses & even family histories, wiped out.
Thankfully no-one I met had lost loved ones but when I was in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) I heard that 45 people had died from heart attacks (they called it heartbreak) in the weeks following. To me, this demonstrates the emotional toll & stress of a nation coming to terms with their lives being devastated.
I spoke to people who had spent hours upon hours locked in a bathroom with friends as it was deemed to be the safest place. I spoke to people who showed videos of a house over the valley which had literally been blown away.
"I spoke to people who had lost their homes when neighbours on either side had barely been touched. I spoke to people with children who had panic attacks whenever they heard a toilet flush or an electric hand dryer as it took them back to the noise & fear of the hurricane."
I spoke to people whose eyes welled up as soon as they started to speak about the event and those who avoided getting into a conversation about it. Basically, a whole region suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder by the unpredictable power of mother nature. The impact on the people will take a much longer time to heal than any of the 'minor inconveniences' I mention below.
So, in terms of understanding how this might affect you as a traveller, I have put together the following 6 Top Tips:
1. Check your flight time
I was flying from Havana to Freeport, Grand Bahama via Nassau. Originally the connection was fine as it gave me 4 hours in Nassau which, with the Cuban inefficiency & Bahamas running on "Island Time", I figured would be plenty to allow for delays in either location. Then I discovered that my flight to Grand Bahama had been moved forward by 2 hours & things were suddenly a bit too tight (for a person who will happily arrive at the airport 4 hours ahead of a flight!). Due to delays, I missed my connection in Nassau, was given a hotel room by the airline & a flight the next morning. I later discovered that the reason my flight had been changed was due to the hurricane damage which meant that planes could no longer land safely into Freeport during darkness.
2. Check your hotel is OPEN!
Don't trust that they'll tell you if there is an issue….
When I was delayed overnight in Nassau, I met a British guy who was trying to get hold of his hotel to explain why he had not arrived the night before (in case they sold his room). He was saying how much he was looking forward to relaxing & treating himself to a 4-Star All-Inclusive Resort for his last few days. He had emailed them but failed to get a response. When we reached the airport for our very early flight, he called the hotel to find out that they were only opening tomorrow (meaning it would be open 2 nights of his 4-night stay). He contacted the agents he had booked through (Trivago) & they appeared to be unaware of any issues. When we boarded the plane, he had no idea if he had a room for that night. When I spoke to the locals it became clear that the property had been hit hard, needed to repair the roof & been shut for a month as a result. The booking agents it seems were completely unaware of the situation, not provided him with information or alternative accommodation but taken his payment nonetheless.
They may not be open even if it's a year later….
In US Virgin Islands (USVI), a number of the big hotels were still closed 6 months after the hurricane. My understanding from the locals was that there were many which had 'chosen' to remain shut for an extended period of time, to increase the loss of earnings & hence get higher insurance premiums. Rather than making repairs from the damage they are planning on having a complete refurbishment.
"It made me realise the much broader impact of the storms and the vulnerabilities of these small island economies who rely so heavily on tourism. I can only imagine how the loss of jobs & the lower number of tourists is affecting the local workers & small businesses."
There may not be enough rooms for people who need them…
In USVI, there were also a high number of employees staying to either work for the insurance companies, or to help with the repairs to the islands. With the big hotels closed, they were staying in apartments & condos in the area which again limited the rooms available for tourists. I took part in the STIR regatta, which was 50% smaller than usual as there were so few rooms for competitors on the island. You can read all about my experience in the Regatta here, or see what it was like in my Video Diary.
3. Make sure you have plenty of cash
Things cost more on the islands…
I got some money out before I left for Grand Bahama (US$100) & on the morning I arrived was very kindly offered a lift to get supplies from the owner of my Airbnb apartment. At the supermarket I stocked up on breakfast & snacks, only to realise as I was at the front of the queue that it was adding up to way more than the US$80 I had left. The credit card machines weren't working. As panic ensued, I had to ask the cashier to start to take items off the bill to reduce my charges, much to the frustration of the ever-growing line of people behind me. Thankfully my lovely Airbnb host then came to my aid & lent me US$20 to reduce my embarrassment & get me moving again. Above & beyond the call of duty!
Don't rely on cash machines once you're there…
In Grand Bahama, the first ATM I visited wasn't working which meant I was totally reliant on my one last chance to get enough cash for my trip, & now pay my debts to my host. After 3 attempts (& increased desperation) to get out Bahamian dollars, reducing the amount I requested each time (here they offer a choice, but Bahamian & US dollars are interchangeable). On my last attempt, I asked for US$ & thankfully hit the jackpot. Big relief all round!
Don't rely on your credit card either…
The issue with the supermarket I then realised was that none of the credit card machines across the area were working because the phone lines had still not been fully connected.
"This had a big impact when you think that cash was required pretty much everywhere. It was also the case in USVI & BVI as credit card machines were also taking a much longer time to get reconnected."
4. Don't expect all the home comforts
Wires & cabling take time to replace….
In USVI, Wi-Fi & TV cable networks were all affected & not back up to 100% efficiency. In my Airbnb, they didn't have the WiFi back or the full TV coverage 6 months after the storm. To compensate, they have designated special areas across the island where you can get onto a Wi-Fi zone as the connection to individual houses takes a lot longer. The earliest anywhere had their water & electricity reconnected after the hurricanes of 2017 was 3 weeks, the latest was at least 7 months. In the meantime, everything is run on emergency generators.
As does the water…
Drink bottled, just in case
5. Don't trust the guidebooks
What used to be a bustling hub of tourist activity may now be a ghost town…
Sopers Hole, BVI
"Journey to the most picturesque and friendly anchorage in the British Virgin Islands, whether by sea or by land. Our marina complex offers the best in facilities, shopping, dining, services and more. This will be one of your most memorable stops."
On my first night in BVI, we stopped for the immigration office, which was a gazebo at the marina as the office had literally been razed to the ground by the storms. The marina used to be a key entry point, shopping & restaurant area. That evening there was nobody there. The pavements looked like piles of rubble. The shops were shut. The restaurants closed.
It could feel like a zombie apocalypse…
Spanish Town, BVI
"The second largest town on BVI, Spanish Town offers numerous shopping possibilities. The heart of the town is its Yacht Harbor marina, with many bareboat sailing activities every day."
I was sailing in the BVI & once we had passed immigration we headed to see a friend docked at Spanish Town, a bustling & busy marina on Virgin Gorda. Except, following the hurricanes, a lot of the boats have been destroyed, the yard is full of vessels needing some serious repair work, but the marina empty. The bars & restaurants are shut & my friend said it was now like living in a zombie apocalypse.
It may look like the storm came through yesterday…
Bitter End Yacht Club, BVI
"THE place to stay in the most beautiful place on earth" "Everything about this place is magical" & "A vast waterfront playground"
In BVI, I sailed with a couple I met in USVI. They were desperate to get back to the islands but didn't have a boat (theirs had been destroyed in the hurricane). I had a boat but didn't know how to sail. It was a match made in heaven! They knew the islands very well & I toured around hearing stories of legendary meeting points for the yachties & drunken nights out. One of the places was the Bitter End Yacht Club at the top of Virgin Gorda but, as we sailed past, it literally looked like it had been destroyed yesterday. The chalets up the hill were without roofs & the clubhouse looked like a bomb site. Tragic.
It might resemble a boat graveyard…
"The Gem of St-Martin"
I visited the French side of the island where the lagoon used to be a bustling anchoring bay full of boats. As we gingerly explored in our dinghy we had to be on constant lookout for sunken boats or parts which were sticking up from the water. What we thought from a distance may have been submarines, turned out to be catamarans which were turned upside down. Yachts on their sides which refused to go down had been sprayed with the line "Life is too short to sink completely". It seemed to sum up the tragedy & spirit of the people all in one go.
6. Don't judge a book by its cover
It all depends on where you started from….
When I visited USVI I saw an island returning to its former glory. The cruise ships were back which brought the tourists & the money, the roofs were covered, the streets were cleaned up & the debris collected in distinct areas.
"When I arrived in BVI it looked like the hurricane had been through very recently. Boats were still strewn along the coastline & piled up in marina's, pavements were piles of rubble, shops & businesses shut."
I initially thought that they weren't doing as well or moving as quickly until I realised how much harder hit the islands were (through the eye of 2 storms within 10 days of each other). When I commented to a taxi driver that it was clear to see the impact he corrected me & said it looked amazing now in comparison to how it had been. The clean-up was enormous & highly successful, but the starting point was a long way back from USVI.
And don't expect anything to be perfect…
On the first day in USVI, I saw a car which looked like it was being held together by Sellotape – think roof, back window & a couple of side windows all just tape. Initially, it amused me as I left the airport. After a few days, I realised that pretty much every car was missing at least 1 window which was taped up. It turns out that this was caused by flying debris as it was thrown around by the winds. There are limited numbers of people who supply replacements & so the whole island is in a queue for the next car window.
What else?
The beauty & splendour of the Caribbean Islands is hard to match but their vulnerability is evident when their lifeblood is at the mercy of mother nature. The islands need you to visit to help them reignite the economy. This is why I was determined to take part in the STIR Regatta in USVI. Before I left I watched a video from BVI which you can see HERE & sums up the destruction caused, the strength & resilience of its people & that they need YOU!
To donate to the hurricane relief HERE is a great article with local charities for the Caribbean Area. Or for more specifics with Virgin Unite for the BVI.

Vishal Mehta took 3 years to conceptualize the concept of virtual exhibition and he is the first mover in this domain. VirtualX is a new concept for the Indian Market with an idea to digitize the way people display their product or their services. This Online platform brings an opportunity to experience the new way to develop new business connections, loyalties or update themselves with the latest offerings.
Vishal said VirtualX is an ideal opportunity for any brand or business to display its premium products and services to the larger audience, and build online client base. VirtualX is Economical way of getting more leads for any business.
How did you come up with the idea of VirtualX?
Before starting this company, I was into Tourism Business and since we had done a good business, we had funds to participate in Travel Exhibitions and we could also manage to visit some International Exhibitions. Once upon a time, I came across one of my Industry Friend and I heard from that they don't have such hefty funds to participate or rather visit the exhibition across cities. Then I thought that even such people (having talent) also have rights to do business or precisely speaking, have a right to connect with Industry. Then, the idea started developing in my mind that I need to build such a platform which is affordable & not anyway less than the current traditional exhibitions.
What problems VirtualX is solving?
As we all know, participating in traditional exhibitions are not affordable by each and everyone. Because, lot of costs are involved like, Stall Space, Fabrication cost, Printing cost, Travel cost, stay cost, food expenses, etc etc etc. Our VIRTUAL EXHIBITION PLATFORM doesn't require one to invest for such things since it is Digital. All one has to buy a stall space (for India Doing Business Project, we have kept the stall space starting from just Rs. 3500* for the entire year) – Traditional Exhibitions happens for an average of 3-5 days.
How does VirtualX work?
For "India Doing Business" project, any Entrepreneur across India, can participate in this exhibition which is going to be live for 365 days. It is completely digital.
Visitors can do everything what they can do in traditional exhibition.
- They can talk to exhibitors via video calling feature.
- They can chat with Exhibitors using Chat feature.
- They can download the Brochure.
- They can visit their website.
- They can note down their contact details.
They can see the display of the products / services offered by exhibitors (through display panels on backdrop & standee) and another feature like exhibition can offer discount coupons for their visitors which they can download from the navigation bar itself.
What is your target market and who can be your client?
SME's, Startups, in fact all Businesses can be a part of this platform.VirtualX target audience
What are your geographical target areas?
As it's a ONLINE platform, we are open for all days and for every business.
What is the revenue model of your business?
India Doing Business platfom generates revenue from Exhibitors. We also have other projects in pipeline, some of which will generate revenue from Visitors & some from organisers like Associations of Industries, etc
What is your larger goal or vision with VirtualX?
Our goal is that every Businesses of India should be a part of this and be benefited out of this platform. That is why this is kept affordable.
What is your business dream achievement?
To provide and make VirtualX a largest digital platform for Indian Businesses for exhibitions.
How do you plan to market your product? What are your customer acquisition strategies?
Since this platform is digital, we market this platform using digital platforms only. We also invite Digital Marketing agencies OR Social Media agencies across India to become our Channel Partner and get Exclusive Selling right of this platform (India Doing Business) for their region. As of now we have 5 Channel Partners for Mumbai, Delhi, Vapi, Erode & Thane Region.
What expansion plans are you looking for the next 2 years, next 5 years and in next 10 years?
Launching this platform for various business segments like Tourism, Real Estate, Recruitments, etc
In next 10 years, I am more keen to see all our supporters to grow 100 times from today, It's not important where I will be in next 10 years, but I always think for such people (like whom I met 3 years ago), I want every Business person to make money by every means and be a part of growing India's economy.
What is your Success Story so far?
Our Success Story is that to whosoever we have presented this platform, none of them has ever said that this is not a good platform. All of them have appreciated the idea and have shown faith in us.Success story of VirtualX
What was the most challenging part of your journey of VirtualX till now? How did you overcome those challenges?
The most challenging part was to put this idea into practical because we never had a base to compare. It is totally a new platform for Indian Market. We tried referring some International methods but their way of operations is different than that of Indian Market. After that the challenging part was to find a trustworthy developer to get this developed. Because by the time we could launch this platform and get it copyrighted, it was not supposed to be revealed. We found few developers but to find someone to work in our budget was more challenging.
If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently?
If I get a chance to start my career over again, I would prefer to go for engineering and invent something new and innovative which can be useful for every household and everyone.

Corridor Width
Q: Can you give me the NFPA Life Safety Code (2000 edition) reference showing 8 foot required width in egress corridors in an existing healthcare occupancy?
A: There is no direct LSC reference that requires 8 feet wide corridors in existing hospitals. But; it's an interpretation. Section 126.96.36.199 of the 2000 Life Safety Code says corridors have to be at least 4 feet wide in existing healthcare occupancies. Section 4.6.7 says when you make alterations, you must meet new construction requirements. Section 126.96.36.199 requires 8 feet wide corridors in new construction healthcare occupancies. So, let's say you have 7 foot wide corridors in an existing hospital. That's legal. But the minute you make an alteration (including storing something non-combustible in the corridor) now it must meet the requirements for new construction, which is 8 feet. So, the correct way of stating corridor width in existing healthcare occupancies is the corridor must be free and clear up to 8 feet wide. If the corridor is 7 feet wide: That's okay as long as the width is free and clear.

She and her personnel were nothing in short supply of fantastic. From learn to finish, my complete process was not only enjoyable but very useful. I will most definitely be back for years to come. I'd most definitely recommend those to anyone.Rods cannot distinguish shades, but are in charge of low-light ( scotopic ) monochrome ( black-and-white ) perspective; they work very well in dim light as they include a pigment, rhodopsin (visual purple), which is delicate at low light power, but saturates at higher ( photopic ) intensities. Rods are sent out throughout the retina but there are none of them at the fovea and none of them at the blind area Pole density is increased in the peripheral retina than in the central retina.SriKiran offers usage of affordable eye health care to all regardless of their socio-economic status. To those who attend eyes testing camps, SriKiran provides free eyeball examinations, and if a cataract surgery is recommended, provides free transportation, free surgery with an intraocular zoom lens (IOL), free medications, free accommodation and food while they are really in the hospital. The other strengths of SriKiran are its training Programs and International Volunteer program. SriKiran is a leader in preparing standards for eyesight care in the region, and providing training that emphasizes the value of 'quality attention' in delivering eye care and attention services.Your brain can even complete" lacking information for you…..in the above graphic, you'll observe that when you cover your remaining eye and look at the combination with your right attention - the brain will fill in" your blind location (the area where the group is). You will see that the human brain fills in the lines for you. Keep considering the cross - don't look back again at the group - or you will will dsicover the group again.I have no hesitation in recommending Advanced Eyesight Attention, everyone has been very professional and friendly. The nurses who administer the drops prior to surgery were great and were able to keep me much calmer than I thought I'd be. The procedure itself was completely pain-free and not whatsoever scary. Really the only slight issue I have had is a little dryness in a single eye that I have already been given some right away ointment. If you are thinking about getting the surgery - go for it - you wont regret it!

A.K.A. Shenandoah, the Hiker Strikes Back
April 8-12, 1999
|The condensed version:Day 1: Started at sunset and hiked in the dark 3 miles to Denton shelter.
Day 2: Sunny with occasional clouds and spits of rain. Climbed to ridge and entered the north end of Shenandoah Nat. Park. Pitched emergency bivy at mile 15 due to fog, wind, lightning storm and encroaching darkness.
Day 3: Started windy and cold with fog and quickly cleared into very sunny and hot. Traversed impressive views and limped into camp at mile 15. Interesting fellow shelter inhabitants.
Day 4: Rain and wind, strong at times lead to general misery. Another 15 mile death-march across some very interesting ridgeline terrain. An interesting and moving sight and some impressive cliffs and vistas once the rain and fog let up.
Day 5: A few more miles on the trail and then down to civilization via a fire road. The usual assortment of hitchhiking wierdness and a whole lot of Irishwomen in a sinister looking van.
The long version:
Well, for those of you who missed the first episode of our story, a spring break backpacking trip was planned for the middle of March. The ambitious goal was to hike the length of Shenandoah National Park from the southern end at I64 to the northern end at I66 (115 miles). The weather became poor followed by inclement and ending up at a full Foul rating. The hike was cut short after three nights and 35 miles.
Resolve strengthened by this embarrassing defeat and by a number of other annoying, degrading, real-world experiences, I suddenly dropped everything on Thursday afternoon, packed and headed out (such is the joy of an academic life). This time I'd start at the north end and work my way south 'seeing how far I could get before food or time ran out'.
April 8, Day 1– Arriving at the US55 trailhead at nearly sunset, the same spot used twice before in February and March, I headed south on the AT in the remains of the heat of an unusually Julylike spring day. Quick climb away from the highway noise and through a gorgeous rolling field where I met a woman out walking her dog interested in natural healing, metaphysics ('which is the same thing as quantum physics'), and healthy living. By the time dark rolled around, I was about a mile from the Molly & Todd Denton "Hilton" shelter, a trully impressive place with solar shower, extensive patio, skylights, and landscaping. Definitely a shelter worth camping at. Slept out under the stars and the Dulles-bound 747s until showers drove me inside.
Day 2 – Awakening early, I chatted with Jim and Susan, self-styled novice hikers from DC and NYC respectively, and headed out. The first few miles are, as such things usually are, plagued with the aches and pains of a body unused to 'packing and shaking the kinks out of the system. 8 miles in, the kinks were more or less shaken out and I stopped for lunch at the Tom Floyd Wayside. The weather had turned hot and sunny and the long uphill climb was becoming tiring. The plan for the day was to press on to the Gravel Springs Shelter in SNP another 10 miles ahead. While I don't look forward to 15+ mile days, I realize that every now and then they are necessary to cover distance and get in synch with the shelters. Little did I realize that 15 mile days would become the norm on this hike.
I finally crossed the border into the Park and was rather surprised at the subtle differences that could be detected. The leaves weren't yet out on the trees, but bloodroot and other wildflowers decorated the forest floor in great profusion. There was less highway noise and things seemed more peaceful. I could feel an incipient sunburn coming on and there were actual black flies. Neither of these were problems I had anticipated given my treatment on the last two trips in the area.
In any case, the day wore on. Off a short side trail I found the Fort Windham Rocks, Catoctin lava outcroppings in the middle of the woods perhaps 50' tall. Potential climbing sites? I bouldered around a bit in my boots (certainly not the best for the activity) and determined that yes, there was some definite possibility. I humped over Compton Peak, the first mountain of the trip and saw the hazy views.
Scattered showeres and a hint of thunderstorms earlier in the day gave way to concerted rain and distinct thunder around six. There were still three miles to go and I had yet to cross the fairly exposed ridge of North and South Marshall. At Hogwallow Flats, a small plateau immediately to the north of the ridge, I came upon a couple in a tent and decided that now was the time.
And not a moment too soon! Rain turned from normal sized droplets the size of baby peas falling vertically to marble-sized masses of cold water travelling more or less horizontally. Lightning was crashing around and the trees were being soundly thrashed overhead. I pulled out the bivy bag and, without even taking my boots off, dove for cover. It's a very disturbing feeling being more or less dry but being able to hear and feel every single raindrop slamming into your legs. Fortunately, the storm didn't last long at its maximum fury and soon tapered off. Andy and Kate (the nice, dry couple from the tent next door) and I searched for the spring on the map, failed to find it, and attempted to cook dinner using the little we had. Rain came back for Act Two and I stood eating my couscous getting good and drenched. It was a dark and stormy night of the type related by ancient mariners.
Day 3 — And morning wasn't too much better. The wind howled and a dense fog limitted visibility to near nothing. Having neglected to bring gloves on this trip, my hands were chilled to the point of shooting pains as I made may way across the ridge. I had eschewed breakfast in favor of getting moving and getting warm. And by the time I reached Gravel Springs Hut, the sun was out, it was quite warm, and I was good and hungry.
At the Hut, I met the Four Brothers From All Over The Place who, despite it being nearly 9:30 in the morning, were still showing no signs of being ready to leave yet. I set about draping sleeping bag and clothing over anything I could find to dry in the sun and cooking a much-appreciated breakfast. The four brothers displayed warm fraternal harrassment and delay. I played leapfrog with them for much of the rest of the day down the trail.
The Appalachian Trail from Gravel Springs is an excellant example of why hiking is such fun. Enough of a breeze to make things interesting, long long views and interesting, steep, rocky terrain. The many peaks of Hogback Mountain provided a splendid view both west and east. Towards afternoon, I came to Elkwallow Gap, one of the Facilities along Skyline Drive and indulged in the hedonism of running water and a Camp Store. The trail in this section was somehow reminiscent of arid westcoast vegetation–dry, sandy soil, short pine trees in a fairly open forest. Not at all what I expected from northern Virginia.
By the end of the day, after an unplanned 16 miles, I was pretty well hurting and ready to quit. The sun was lowering and I was starting to hallucinate when I pulled into Pass Mountain Hut, the southern terminus of the northern third of the AT through SNP. There I was greeted by New Hip, a fellow AT section hiker and a couple of through-hikers with their two large dogs (never did get their names). She explained to me that the her pack had been stolen back at Harper's Ferry and they were 'stopping here awhile' while Jake, her husband, took a construction job in the valley below to raise some funds. Meanwhile she was hanging out at camp with the dogs laying in provisions. Provisions, in this case, seemed to be quite a large stock of dried, smoked turkey jerky, shark jerky (of all things) and dried vegetables. Not the kind of people I usually see through- hiking… but to each his own.
Day 4 — Another long day, another 15 miles. From Thornton Gap where the paved road cuts across, the trail climbs steadily for a couple miles up to Mary's Rock. Very reminiscent of Charlie's Bunion in the Great Smokies. Surely this would be a spectacular climb with incredible views out into the valley if only I could see more than 30′. The fog had returned and with it a persistent rain and wind. New Hip told me that temperatures were hovering around 40 degrees. The mountains in this section of the park are taller and more rugged than elsewhere. I was reminded strongly of some of the below-treeline parts of the White Mountains. More than once I faced the same sinking spirits, flagging energy and numbness from hiking alone in inclement weather that I faced last month in SNP. The temptation to turn around and head out was strong. But faced with the shame of what happened last time, I steeled myself to stick it out and show Mother Nature who was boss, or at least not admit unconditional surrender.
My spirits were, not exactly lifted, but definitely effected when crossing the Pinnacle. Despite the name, this mountain is little different from many of the others in the area. A moderate climb to about 3700′ along a ridge with periodic overlooks to one side or the other. Operating on my principle of never overlooking an overlook (regardless of visibility), I was standing on one and saw an odd sight. Down below me on one of the large rocks that made up the nearly vertical cliff face, just before everything merged into a nondescript whitish gray, was a crimson and gree rose lying on amidst the lichen and rock tripe. A further search revealed a few more here and there with individual rose petals scattered and wedged in cracks. Obviously they were dropped there and recently, too. But who and why and commemorating what occurrence I do not know. The whole scene was very affecting. Creepy even in a non-threatening way. My own troubles seemed somehow more petty and mundane. I continued on in a contemplative mood.
Somewhere in there the rain had pretty much stopped. There were intermittent views to the west and by the time I reached the summit of Little Stoney Man (Stoney Boy?) the interplay of clouds and sunlight in the valley far below was pretty dramatic. Things were looking up. But by the time I got to Stoney Man proper, the wind and fog had pretty much returned.
But in the final miles of the hike and final hours of the day, the sun did indeed return with just enough intermittent clouds flying around at my current elevation to make life interesting. I ate a packet of instant cocoa and dragged on. The lowering sun gave a golden cast to the dramatic Crescent Rocks. From the western flank of Hawksbill, I could see all the way to the cloud-shrouded and dramatically rocky slopes of Old Rag. Golden sunlight, throbbing feet and a fine sense of accomplishment supported me on the last limping mile past three more deer to the extremely welcome sight of Rock Spring Hut. Ahhh! Pure heaven.
The stay at Rock Spring Hut was indeed a wonderful one. A lovely swing seat has been installed and the view is good. Not a soul was seen except the deer that wandered through around dusk, drank at the spring and headed on. I past the night in foggy, windy seclusion thinking long slow thoughts.
Day 5 — More of the same. Foggy and wind alternating with sun and wind alternating with just plain wind and wind. Hike out day! A slow start packing the now rather deminished pack and heading on my way. I dropped the pack and spent some time climbing the rather dramatic and entirely worthwhile bulk of Hawksbill to the highest point in SNP at 4051 feet. A full 360 degree panorama of sun and valley and mountains and clouds not a whole lot higher than I was greeted me from the small observation platform at the summit. That and some really incredible winds that threatened to scrape me off my perch more than once.
Back down, to the pack and then a quiet mile and a half along the trail to the Red Gate fire road which switchbacked down from the ridge to Kite Hollow and the paved roads. Easy walking along a long gravel road. When the next switchback below appeared, I would bushwhack down the very steep slope trying to stick to rocks and logs. While ecologically questionable, this move definitely saved perhaps a mile or two of walking. And so I came unto the town of Mauck, VA, a quiet place with few people and many chickens. I was soon picked up by a local fellow in a truck and was spirited to the main road to start the hitchhike back to the car.
Now hitchhiking in this part of the world is a fairly easy thing, but you have to accept some basic tenets. It may take a while, you have to look friendly, non-threatening, tired and disheveled, and you will definitely meet some very unique and interesting people. The usual ride is a local man usually in his forties or later in a pickup truck. Sometimes they are fellow hikers, but more often than not just a friendly native. Very refreshing. Almost never will you be picked up by a minivan, SUV or car. I don't even bother anymore.
I got a couple rides with the usual friendly Virginians and got dropped off in the middle of farming country north of Luray. Hiked along for another hundred yards or so and was passed by this large white van with tinted glass traveling far too fast. It blew past me and screeched to a halt a little bit further on. The side door opened and a guy looked out at me. Door closed. The van backed up toward me and pulled along side. The door opened again. The inside was dark and damp and smells perfumy. Perhaps incense? There is various Jesus paraphernalia on the dash. Lots of new-age women and a few men are lounging around inside giving each other head massages and braiding each other's hair.
But a ride is a ride and refusing would be rude, so I climb in and off we go. It turns out that all seven of these people are Irish tourists out from New York (where some of them at least are film producers) to see the countryside. "I know this probably looks strange," says Fergil to me, "but it was the only van we could get." Mave and James and the others ask a continuous stream of questions about what it's like to hike the trail. All in all it was quite an enjoyable ride and I was soon back to the trailhead and driving back to civilization in extremely high spirits.
A worthwhile, tiring and very therapeutic trip. Just what I needed. Head rethreaded, priorities reassigned and emotions generally put back in order after some mistreatment by my fellow man (or in this case woman).
Final tally:
- Day 1 — 3.2 miles
- Day 2 — 14.9 miles + various side trails
- Day 3 — 15.7 miles
- Day 4 — 15.3 miles + 0.6 up Stoney Man
- Day 5 — about 5 miles + 1.6 up Hawksbill
- total AT milage, 51 miles.

Baltic Street Adventure Playground is different to any other play area we've been to. There's loads for them to climb and swing on and jump off and play with. It's fun, it's exciting; it's risky play at its very best. And it's completely free.
Falkirk Wheel Splash Park
The Falkirk Wheel splash park is so much fun. There are a couple of different parts to the splash park, plus a playpark and lots of other (paid) activities. We spent the best part of 2 hours here and could easily have stayed longer. It's such a great place for a cool down on a hot sunny day, and best of all, it's free!
The Kelpies
I really enjoy a trip to the Kelpies, and the kids do too. It's outdoors, it's free, and because the Kelpies themselves are just beautiful. The playpark is fantastic and it's a totally wheel friendly place too.

Rustic, lovely and a tiny bit magical; Finlaystone is one of my favourite finds from last year. There's so much to entertain kids. They can let their legs and imaginations run wild. And it's a great place to bring the dog too.

Dumfries House is set in beautiful grounds. There are lots of bits to entertain kids and their Engineering Playpark (a water play area) is absolutely fantastic. We all had a blast!

We had a great time at Culzean Castle & Country Park. They have one of the best playparks we've ever been to. There's so much to do at Culzean and it's really beautiful too; pretty gardens, swans, forest and a big rocky shoreline. Excellent day out.
New Lanark & Falls of Clyde
New Lanark is a great day out whether you want to spend it indoors or outdoors. The Annie McLeod Experience is something fun and unusual for a rainy day, and the Falls of Clyde Reserve is a lovely place for a walk.
Cuningar Loop

3rd Thursday FORTUNE COOKIE
I would love your feedback on my idea.
A couple are having dinner in a Chinese restaurant. While her date is in the restroom she reads her fortune cookie which influences her thoughts when her date returns. Here are some of my concerns: Do the values read correctly? Are the character's necks too skinny? Does the plate with the fortune cookies stand out enough? Can you tell that you are looking through a window to the background? Does it make sense? What would you do differently before I go to paint?
I got my fortune cookie from a website that sells "Unfortunate Cookies".
Hi @Bronson! Your sketch is great! I love your sketchy style and the effort you've put into getting the characters to come across, especially the lecherous guy
To answer your questions - to me yes it does come across that we're looking out of a window to see the background, though I'd try hard to make sure it doesn't dominate when you go to finish...it's beautifully drawn but you will also want it to recede..could lighten the values overall back there to do that. I think the value overall is really good though, with the foreground diners/curtains etc being so much darker.
I also like that you've got the focal point with the highest contrast, that really works to draw the eye to the lady.
The main thing I would possibly do differently (and this is personal opinion of course!) is that I would consider moving the lady a little further away from the lecherous guy, so that he is attempting to kiss her rather than kissing her right now. At the moment he's smooching her and she's looking kinda vacant - would be good to see her a bit more expressive. Whereas if he were about to smooch her, she could be looking disgustedly at him and leaning away to avoid it... that would save you having to draw a kissing/not wanting to be kissed scene which might be a bit too much. Part of me is going 'don't let him kiss you, girl, if you don't want it!'...and I'm starting to think about that rather than the aesthetics of your beautifully drawn scene! I mean, maybe he's just kissing her goodnight on the cheek rather than angling for more?...but it's hard to tell with a single picture. So I'd think about how you want that to come across. But don't get me wrong, it is great and will look forward to where you take it next
Russ Van Dine last edited by
I laughed when I saw this. Great job catching what the fortune cookie is all about... I like everything about the guy! I think you could stretch her neck back and angle her head away... but that is a small point, great job!
@Dulcie Thanks for the help! I actually wasn't going for "lecherous" when I drew the male character, but rather I was hoping for more of a "hayseed" kind of look. So perhaps I have missed that mark. But I think lecherous might work too.
I tilted the woman's head so our guy is only trying to kiss her now. I also experimented with lightening the background as you suggested and I like both changes much better. THANKS again. Here's the new version.
@Russ-Van-Dine THANKS for the help, Russ!

Flavor Notes - Yellow Apple, White Grape, Plum, Buttery
Santos Tzoc Jorge has been a member of the AProCafé (Associación del Productores del Café) el Grano Growers Association for several years, but 2018/2019 was his first harvest submitting coffee for microlot evaluation.
Santos Tzoc, like most of the AProCafe farmers in the aldeas above San Juan, processes his coffee on-farm. The communities of Panyebar and Pasajquim are too far from the association's central wet mill to deliver coffee on any but the biggest pickings of harvest. Panyebar is an aldea or village that is technically part of the San Juan municipality on Lake Atitlan, but in reality is over the hill and a separate community. By road, it is closer to Santa Clara la Laguna than it is to San Juan.
We were super excited to work with Santos this year as they have some amazing coffee. We partnered with Huckleberry Coffee in Denver to bring this coffee in and have been blowing our minds. This has an incredible malic acidity and juiciness of a yellow apple. It also has a drying taste like a white grape. The body is full and juicy like biting into a fresh plum. And the whole coffee coats your mouth like a rich butter. You're sure to enjoy this coffee as much as we have.
Region: Panyebar, San Juan la Laguna
Producer: Santos Tzoc Julian Jorge
Process: Washed, Patio-Dried
Altitude: 1800-1850m
Variety: Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai

Shedding any pretensions of cool, S.F. goes giddy in O'Brien's spotlights
Feted by a raucous crowd that turned the regal Orpheum Theatre into a rocking house of worship, Conan O'Brien didn't disappoint his fans as he kicked off a week of "Late Night" shows from San Francisco on Monday. Walking across a beautifully designed stage with a giant replica of the Golden Gate Bridge, O'Brien was like some kind of conquering hero, the late night king come to San Francisco to spread the love (and one would assume, get a spike in the ratings, if his past road shows are any indication). The mostly college-age crowd exploded upon seeing the lanky host and kept up a frenzy all night.
It was the warmest of welcomes for our comic visitor.
San Francisco, O'Brien said, "is the only city in America where marijuana is legal but plastic bags are not." He gave props to the soaring Golden State Warriors but noted that the team has a new slogan, since the old one in the dark days of constant failure just wouldn't do: "We're one of several teams in the NBA."
Though subtlety would have had a very rough night as the capacity crowd wanted zing and pop, O'Brien was certainly wired in on Monday night. He said San Francisco was unbelievably nice and receptive. "Even Mayor Gavin Newsom sent me flowers. Isn't that nice? When I tried to thank him, he said, 'They're for your wife.' " As the crowd roared, O'Brien said: "I had to do it."
The red-haired host was clearly enjoying the rush that comes from a fancy theater full of adoring fans. He noted that the fortune cookie originated in San Francisco and he imagined how it started: "That cookie was delicious. But what will happen to me in the future?"
Guest Dana Carvey, who lives in Marin and has been a longtime friend of O'Brien's, also noted that it was hard to simply have a conversation and not play to the enthusiasm of the fans. He fed the frenzy by noting the differences between New York, where "Late Night" is filmed (in front of "crickets" according to Carvey) and lovely San Francisco (where, among other things, we have a better looking mayor), which is just the kind of hometown pride that amps up an already electric audience.
Later, when the show aired -- 12:35 a.m. on NBC -- you could still get a sense of the feverish jubilation as the camera panned the audience of fist-pumping college students enjoying what was probably the first appearance of a big-time TV series taping in their hometown in their formative viewing years. (David Letterman did bring his "Late Show" to San Francisco in 1996.) Whatever showed up on the small screen, though, didn't match the ear-piercing noise level of actually being there.
Like all good road-show episodes, much attention was paid to local customs, lingo, landmarks and such. O'Brien said his gift to San Francisco on this first night, "combines one of your most famous buildings with your equally famous acceptance of alternative lifestyles. Please welcome the Transgender Transamerica Tower." And out walked a pyramid dressed in drag. As always -- funny and absurd and dead on.
O'Brien and Carvey got into a giddy, mock San Francisco-themed sing-off that included Scott McKenzie's "If You're Going to San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)," Journey and Starship. It was wonderfully silly and the crowd, as expected, ate it up.
Of course, there's also a lot of interest around the country when studio talk shows go on the road. It creates a different atmosphere, gives performers like O'Brien a chance to stretch out and the travelogue jokes seem to be appreciated countrywide, not just by the locals, because everybody gets most of the references and the audience is allowed to see something fresh and different.
On Monday night, O'Brien had at least one brilliant bit where he went to Chinatown (where nobody knows him) only to find one lone man who knew him. That guy popped up later in an equally great homage to "Full House," with Bob Saget pretending to still live in the famous painted-lady Victorian featured in the sappy sitcom's opening scenes.
Even when O'Brien had to pander to Intel, which is sponsoring his trip to San Francisco, he leavened the awkwardness by also announcing that the Chinatown staple Sam Wo Restaurant was a proud sponsor, too. The two logos draped from the rafters created a good visual joke.
Equally impressive for locals, though some of the lingo got mangled, was O'Brien's "San Francisco 'Late Night' Small Talk Moment" -- a fake gabfest between the host and bandleader Max Weinberg that beautifully and artfully encompassed Bay Area speak and a gratuitous amount of transportation references and the maze meltdown.
(Earlier O'Brien had been kiddingly booed after saying of the Golden Gate Bridge set piece: "We had a replica of the Bay Bridge, but it collapsed.")
O'Brien, who has taken the show to Finland, Los Angeles, Chicago and Canada, is particularly adept at taped pieces in general but exceptionally good when he's challenged by new environs. And just as some of those moments on the road were enjoyed by home viewers who may never have even visited those cities, the San Francisco experience probably played well in Peoria, too. And yet, there's nothing quite like seeing a lanky interloper in your own city, trying to figure out the lay of the land and skewering customs in the process.
O'Brien doing tai chi in Washington Square Park, pretending to be a tour guide at Coit Tower or playfully leaning out of a cable car going up California Street had the crowd eating it up.
"Late Night" has more in store, of course. Tuesday night's guests included George Lucas and tonight Robin Williams will stop by to no doubt create some mayhem. Odds are good you'll find him up on that Golden Gate Bridge stage, doing something insane.
The "Late Night" crew came (with O'Brien) a couple of weeks early and filmed extensively around the Bay Area, so more of this New York-meets-San-Francisco-curio shtick should ensue (and be worth staying up for, or recording).
Certainly the faithful and loud O'Brien fans think so, as many of them started lining up for the 4 p.m. taping as early as 8:30 a.m. Monday. No wonder they were bouncing off the gilded rafters by show time.
As evidenced by O'Brien's onstage demeanor, he's appreciative of the positive Bay Area vibe, even if he will undoubtedly skewer us through the rest of the week.
In a town that doesn't like to be provincial and routinely dismisses the notion of being mesmerized by stars, there's still something alluring about being the center of attention. There's no shame in getting some "Late Night" love -- or giving it back, either.

Fitness is personal. This has a lot to do with individual needs, as well as personal routines and exercises.
There are a lot of components involved in fitness, and the entire subject may be overwhelming. These tips can help
you make sense of the confusion.
Be creative when starting a new fitness regimen. There are many activities you can try without having to join a
gym. Find an activity that you truly enjoy. This will keep you motivated, especially when you are first starting
Develop strength in your thighs in order to protect your knees from injury. Avoid the most common injury, which
is torn muscles and ligaments along the back of your legs. To keep your knees safe it is crucial to include
exercises for both your quads and hamstrings. Leg extensions and curls are a couple of great exercises to work
these muscles.
The basics of bodybuilding: Build muscle mass by simultaneously doing fewer reps and lifting more weight. Start
off by choosing a muscle group like the chest. Make sure you do a set of reps using light weights. A weight that
allows you to perform 15 to 20 repetitions is about right. Use heavier weights for your next set: do only 8 reps.
Add about five more pounds and repeat.
Looking for a way to get washboard abs? You won't get them by doing only crunches. Working your abs is great for
developing your muscles, but aren't very effective for burning fat. If your goal is washboard abs, try altering
your diet and focusing on cardiovascular exercises.
To increase the strength of your forearms, try this great tip from tennis and racquetball players. Find a flat
surface and lay a large section of newspaper on top. The next step is to crumple the paper for half a minute with
your dominant hand. After you do this two time, change hands and do it again with your nondominant hand, then two
more times in your original dominant hand.
You should never do extreme diets or go overboard with exercise. This risks damage to joints and muscles in
addition to excessive stress to the heart and possible dehydration. Furthermore, if exercise is so intense that the
body reaches an anaerobic condition, no more fat will be metabolized.
Kick boxing is a wonderful workout. No one tries a few rounds of kick boxing without working up a serious sweat
and feeling like they've really gotten a great workout. You can lose a lot of weight and build strength with this
fun workout.
The benefits of fitness are not only physical. By starting to work out regularly, you can even feel better
emotionally. Workouts cause endorphins to be released, which in turn create a euphoric feeling. Additionally, by
becoming physically fit it helps to greatly improve your self-image and your confidence begins to soar. You are
essentially only a couple workouts away from being happy.
Use caution if running is your preferred fitness technique because its health benefits can be offset by the
bodily harm it can cause over time. One great rule you can follow is to allow yourself a break every six weeks
where you run half of what you usually do for one week. Reducing the distance to only half of what you are used to
gives your body the opportunity to recover and helps you avoid any permanent damage that could occur.
You don't have to feel all that guilt about watching television if you exercise at the same time. If you
exercise during commercials, you can have a guilt-free television session.
It is good practice to exercise outdoors when possible. Outside activities can be very pleasurable such as
hiking, swimming, or playing tennis. You will be able to get a good workout and feel refreshed as well. Exercising
outdoors instead of in a stuffy, cramped gym will improve your state of mind and put you more at ease.
If you wish to get better at putting, aim about 17 inches past where the hole is for putts that are straight on.
There are no footprints in this radius around the cup. This leads to plumper, thicker blades of grass that are
likely to slow down your putts.
Continue to drink water throughout the day. The reason that you get dehydrated during your workouts is because
your muscle fibers are rubbing against one another with all that movement creating heat. When you work hard, you
sweat hard. Excessive sweating is a mild form of dehydration.
Work out using weights with a bench to get in shape. To assure success, you need to choose the correct style of
bench. Be sure the cushioning is adequately thick and you don't feel the hard wood on your spine when you lay on
it. These benches can weaken your spine.
If you find yourself slacking off with your fitness regimen, talk to your friends about joining you. Friends can
keep you motivated when you exercise and that will help you reach your fitness goals. Exercising with a friend
drives competition, which can help you achieve your goals faster than you imagined.
For a better workout, make sure to keep your wrists bent when you to bicep exercises. Extend your wrists in a
backwards manner and do your normal bicep exercises holding this position. You might not like the way it feels but
you can get your body used to it.
Do you want to get in top shape? Grab a jump rope! You can jump rope anywhere. One minute of jumping rope burns
the calories equal to three minutes of other common cardiovascular forms of exercise. This means that jumping rope
for 10 minutes can give you the same benefits as a typical 30 minute workout!
There are many reasons a person embarks on a personal fitness routine. They may want to look better to the
opposite sex. They may want to feel better or live longer. As you've read, there are many ways to approach fitness,
but the main idea is to live happier and healthier.

One of my favourite Desktop Inspirations designs is Dream in Color.
Dreaming in color is an important key to success. How on earth do you dream in color?
Be specific about your dreams. If you don't know exactly what you want, how are you ever going to determine what you need to do to get it?
Dreaming in color allows you to reverse engineer your dreams and figure out all the action steps you will need to take to achieve them.
Of course that is where the work begins. It is also when your dreams can start to become reality.
Break down your actions into measurable goals. SMART goals, originally defined by George T. Doran* and modified by others, have the following characteristics:
- Specific – target a specific area for improvement.
- Measurable – quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress.
- Assignable/Achievable – specify who will do it/know it can be done
- Realistic/Relevant – state what results can realistically be achieved/make sure it helps move toward your dream
- Time-related – specify when the result(s) can be achieved.
Dreaming in color ensures that your goals will be specific. With this most important criterion met, you will be well on your way to getting exactly what you want.
*Quoted material from the Wikipedia page. Follow the link for more information.
This desktop wallpaper is one of my favourites. It inspires me to get to work, to think big, to stop making excuses, and to shoot for the moon. I need this!
If you can't see the graphic, it is a photo of the moon with the question beside it, "How far will your dreams take you?"
When I designed it, I was thinking about how the dream of walking on the moon inspired so many people to invest their so much of their time and resources into making it happen.
It started as science fiction. Jules Verne imagined what it might be like to rocket to the moon. Less than 100 years later, it was actually happening. People caught hold of the dream and made it reality through years of planning, huge financial investment, and lots of hard work.
How far will your dreams take you? The answer to this question depends on the answer to another question. How hard are you willing to work?
Because our dreams alone take us nowhere.
I am not saying that dreams aren't powerful. They are.
Dreams can change how we feel about ourselves, and even change who we are inside, but it is ultimately up to us to act to change the circumstances around us.
Our dreams take us places, and our thoughts change our lives, only so far as we are willing to put feet to them and take action. Dreams empower us by shaping our plans and fueling our perseverance.
How far will your dreams take you? As far as you can imagine, and as far as your feet are willing to walk.
Dreams empower us by shaping our plans and fueling our perseverance.
