    Tenaya LodgeStargazers and wilderness lovers enjoy a night hike to see the skies light up.
    Visiting Yosemite in peak season is the best – natural beauty in its full glory – and the worst – the park is overflowing with tourists and there’s not a parking spot to be found. Sure, you could load up your backpack and head to the backcountry, but what if you’re not in the mood to rough it?

    As I listened to ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ on Monday I realized there are many ways one can enjoy, or perhaps more accurately “enjoy,” these grand dames of reality television.
    There’s a scene at Housewife Shannon Beador’s house where housewives Kelly Dodd and Tamra greet each other as they do: with Tamra saying, “I’m wearing my Kelly shirt!’ and Kelly replying, “Oh, yeah, motorboating!” and then burying her face in Ta

    Los Angeles Ballet titles its current production “Modern Moves.” The company takes two daring steps forward, staging two company premieres of contemporary pieces.

    It was a gesture of trust in the undrafted Chargers rookie, who forced his way into the offensive rotation, but hadn’t yet broken out until that afternoon in Jacksonville. With the Chargers up three and less than two minutes remaining, Ekeler had already racked up 118 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns.
