Things to Do in Colorado Springs
(and near by)
With Pikes Peak in the background and the plains out to the east we're grateful that we live in one of the often voted "most fit" cities in this country. There's an abundance of outdoor activities to enjoy year 'round due to our often mild winters and comfortable summers (really comfortable outdoors compared to Phoenix)! Because Colorado Springs is considered a high desert it's dry and even in the summer you can plan many of your activities around our later afternoon showers. Colorado Springs is easy to get around in. Signs are really pretty good and folks are friendly if you need to ask for directions.
We've called Colorado Springs home for over 13 years when we moved here from Phoenix. We love the clean air and considerably less traffic of bigger cities. Don't get me wrong – this town is growing and offering more and more all the time.
Join us on these pages as we tell you and show you about our adopted home town.
Garden of the Gods and the Visitor and Nature Center – 1805 N. 30th St., 719-634-6666
A must see in Colorado Springs.
The Trading Post has typical tourist stuff as well as nicer artwork in the back room. The restaurant has decent buffalo burgers.
There are lots of easy walking and hiking trails. Parking always seems to be sufficient, although it does get a bit crowded in the summer. There are a limited number of picnic tables and restroom facilities.
The visitor center has a short HD show and there are lots of exhibits, gift shop and indoor/outdoor café.
Fun, Fun, Fun: Guests love to have their pictures taken at Balancing Rock. At the very least, drive by it as it is an anomaly.
Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site 30th Street & Gateway Road 719-578-6777
This Ranch is right next to Garden of the Gods main entrance. It's a Living History Museum depicting four historical periods of Pikes Peak Region development.
Air Force Academy
Another must see (in my opinion)
After 9/11 there has been some restricted areas that cars can no longer drive through. Access through the gates is easy. They are strict about the speed limits so don't push your luck.
Visitors Center – Exit 156-B off I-25 – 719-333-2025. This building has a very nice gift shop, historical pictures and exhibits. Open daily 9-5. Closed New Years Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Air Force Chapel – this is one place I always take out of town guests to see. It is beautiful and so different that once you are inside it is just something you don't forget. (don't forget to go downstairs – as there are chapels and rooms for other faiths. Each is unique and serene.
If you are lucky enough to hit the chapel at the right time you might just get to see the cadets practicing marching drills in the grounds next to the chapel. It is something I have always enjoyed seeing.
Fun, Fun, Fun: The grounds have a variety of retired air craft that kids and adults love to have their pictures taken with.
Pikes Peak Highway – US 24 West to Cascade – 719-385-7325 (seasonal)
The road is closed and open depending on the road conditions so I would recommend you call ahead if your trip is in the Spring or Fall. The road is well kept and is really wide enough for two cars. If you are a bit squeamish of heights just take it slow and you should be fine. The road does get a little close at times to the edge of steep embankments and there are not always guardrails.
The drive up and the cost to see it from the top is worth in our opinion.
Fun, Fun, Fun: While there is not an official ski area, every Spring our son and a bunch of his friends ski down certain parts of the mountain. They are never alone. For several weeks in the Spring kids (and adults) like to make a decent a few times. It's always fun to say you've done it. I think it's fun to watch.
Pikes Peak Cog Railroad – 515 Ruxton Ave, Manitou Springs 719-685-5401 Open Year Round
If the drive up isn't your thing, you can enjoy the ride in the train. It's slow enough to be able to take pictures, there's plenty to see that's you won't see from your car and you get an experienced guide to give you the history and interesting facts. Either way get's you to the top of the 14,110′ peak. Don't forget that this is the inspiration for 'America the Beautiful'.
Yum, Yum, Yum: Once you get to the top try the donuts – they're really pretty good.
Cheyenne Mountain Zoo- 4250 Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Road – 719-633-9925
This is a nice zoo for a "small" town. Be prepared to hike as some of the pathways are steep. Staff is always helpful and informative. From time to time they have guest animals that make the visit special. Great views of Colorado Springs from this mountain zoo.
Awe, Awe, Awe: Whenever baby animals are born and they are on display it is the biggest attraction. The Giraffes are always entertaining.
Pikes Peak Ghost Town Museum – US 24 and 21st St. 719-634-0696
A replication of a circa 1800′s town of the old west that offers lots of old artifacts, gold panning and shopping. Typical tourist fare!
Seven Falls – 2850 S. Cheyenne Canyon Road, 719-632-0752
There's a 224 step stairway to the top for a hearty or an in-mountain elevator to the Eagle's Nest observation deck. The Falls are very pretty, especially at Christmas time.
McAlister House Museum – 423 N. Cascade Ave. 719-635-7925
Bear Creek Nature Center – 245 Bear Creek Road , 719-520-6387
American Numismatic Association Money Museum – 818 N. Cascade Ave. 719-632-2645

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - It's been 28 years since the Orange mens' soccer team last made it to the NCAA tournament, but the wait is finally over. Syracuse will play Cornell in the first round Thursday night in Ithaca.
The Orange says it's excited to be back in the big dance, but now they're focused on something bigger, winning the first tournament game in program history.

Arrived quickly in one light box, I opened and assembled it myself (I'm 39, female, in reasonable shape). It's in two pieces- you just unfold each half, adjust the support legs and twist the wingnuts tight, flip it over, attach in the middle with a SUPER easy attachment that is very effective, and put your mattress on top! I think the whole process took about 15 minutes from box to lying on the bed to test it out. Of course we are using a bedskirt because it is 14 inches high and has metal legs, and it offers a great place to shove stuff under for storage (2 suitcases and a whole bunch of other stuff). So the ONLY thing I have to say negative about this product is that it is all metal- and with the bedskirt, it is "slippery" so the mattress can slide around. I am wishing that they put some kind of rubberized coating on the crossbars to keep the mattress in place. So every morning when I make the bed I just feel around the edges and gently slide it back into place if it has moved a little.
With all due respect to the manufactures of this particular item, I had actually got rid of my box spring and I had purchased a brand new 8 inch memory foam mattress. That mattress protruded into the metal and that was probably because the mattress did not have a substance to it for properly shield me from the bars. Having said that, I'm sure that this thing is old 2500 pounds, at the same time it also makes a noise when you move around, so if you have a partner or wife girlfriend husband boyfriend any of those things, any moments of intimacy are going to be noted on that platform you're going to hear a squeaky sound. I'm only saying that because I read other reviews that discuss matters like this as long as the wording is appropriate believe you will be posted. I hope people really listen to what I'm saying on the street view, or you will be very frustrated un un happy. We will also have to pay 20 dollars to ship it back.
Recently my fiance and I moved into the converted attic of an old row house in Washington DC. The staircase and hallway were far too narrow for a queen box spring and I was not willing to downsize to a full. I considered a bed with slats but a quality slat frame was pretty expensive. Then I found this platform bed frame. I could not be happier. It folds flat for easy transport, was very simple to set up, and is QUIET. Our previous frame and box spring was noisy when we moved around at night. This one is very quiet no matter what we're doing. I strongly recommend this frame. We have had it for about a month now with no complaints. I will update if any problems arise. Oh, and the storage space underneath the bed is awesome! So much more clearance than a traditional frame.
Bought this for a 10 in foam mattress that we purchased and it was super easy to put together, works great with the mattress and is a good option if you don't have a lot of money to invest on a frame. You can always add a headboard at a later date.
Was skeptical about buying this as opposed to the old-school box spring, but am really liking this arrangement now. There's a ton more space between the underside of the bed & the floor than there was with my traditional box spring, thus providing a ton of extra under-bed storage. (There's also the added bonus of there being room under the bed for my large-ish dog to squeeze under during thunderstorms.... awesome!!) So far the bed frame seems sturdy and well-made. We've been sleeping on it in our guest room for a few weeks now while doing renovations on our master bedroom, and no complaints thus far.
This was by far the most simplest and quickest product I have put together. It comes in a huge box with 2 twin size frames that you put together. There are no tools (screw driver etc) needed. The instructions are very simple and it took me about 5min to put it together by myself. I put an 11in memory foam mattress on it and it fit perfectly on it. I'm very please with this purchase and the icing on the cake is the price!! You can't beat it. The frame seems sturdy and durable...you can't go wrong with that! It's a great buy!
I purchased massive storage containers, and fit six of them under this bed. Wonderful storage! The only thing keeping me from giving five stars is it's a little squeaky. It's more than a little squeaky, but not like...a squeakfest, either. It's sturdy, though, and easy to set up.
This frame was for my 18 year son's new gel mattress. Great combination. Easy to set up and smart design
I already have the king size to fit inside another frame, so knew what to expect with the Queen size, however my oldest son decided that he wanted to take it with him to school, instead of breaking down his regular bed, so we're all happy with the purchase. I just need to buy one or two more for the other beds, and we're set.
This platform bed was the perfect solution for my daugther , she lives in the 2nd. floor and because the stairs arer very closed, was not possible to climb the box springs. She is very happy becauase is very comfortable.-

MSFS-658 Introduction to Microfinance
Spring for 2011-2012
Microfinance is usually viewed as a development success in that it has demonstrated the capacity to improve standards of living among the world's poorest in a sustainable way. Microfinance development programs target their financial services to low-income micro entrepreneurs with fewer than 10 employees. The purpose of this class is to provide an introduction to best practices in the design, management, and evaluation of microfinance programs. At the end of the course, students will be able to describe the role of microfinance in the financial services sector; the profile of the average microfinance client; the range of providers of microfinance services; the role of government in developing microfinance; and the principles of microfinance performance management.

i've always loved destiny it is one my most favorite fragrances. it is soft and sexy can't say enough about this scent try it you will fall in love
November 08, 2012
Written by Cheryl
This scent is the most subtle, beautiful fragrance you could possibly wear. It is made of all white flowers and is a very gentle scent. I marked that it was like flowers, but I'm not really sure how to describe it. It is not an overbearing fragrance like some are that just make you sick to be around it. Marilyn has always said that this is perfect to wear around those who are sensitive to fragrances. Like any perfume, the longer it's on, the better it smells. I love this fragrance and I wear it most of the time and I always get compliments on it. It truly is lovely.

PHOTOS: Ocean Grove, Unsteady But Surviving Hurricane Sandy
Community is recovering
Few have talked about Ocean Grove, with its ornate lamps and Victorian homes, and whether the community survived in ways that other historic Jersey Shore beaches did not.
For the most part, it did. Many houses appear to be structural sound. Other parts of the community, however, did not fare so well.
Like so many beach communities, the first - and worst - victim was the boardwalk.

Feb 19
By Chantel Jennings & Brad Bournival | ESPN.com
The writers at WolverineNation and BuckeyeNation put their heads together to break down the rivals' 2013 classes. They'll give readers a position-by-position look at who coaches Brady Hoke and Urban Meyer brought in and, ultimately, which class edged out the other. It's too early to say what will happen through the next few seasons, and we won't make any promises except that Hoke and Meyer are going to put talent on the field.

Rock Band has over 4,000 songs. Some of them are really fun to play, others are completely unnecessary. To this day I still can't understand why Harmonix wastes money on Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Lady Gaga, but skips out on Elvis, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and the Beach Boys. Anyway, I want everyone to give me a list of 10 songs which you think deserve to be in Rock Band 4 or the DLC. Try to make it an artist who has either one or no songs in Rock Band.
Here's my Top 20:
1. Jailhouse Rock- Elvis Presley
2. Kokomo- The Beach Boys
3. Born to Be Wild- Steppenwolf
4. California Dreamin'-The Mamas & The Papas
5. Stairway To Heaven- If you don't know who plays this, you are a moron.
6. Suspicious Minds- Elvis Presley
7. Burning Love- Elvis Presley
8. Fun Fun Fun- The Beach Boys
9. Tutti Frutti- Little Richard
10. Jumping Jack Flash- The Rolling Stones

A new face at Perry Park Golf Resort in Owen County will be familiar to many in Carroll County.
Steven Wallace, a 2000 graduate of Carroll County High School, was recently hired as the golf pro at the resort; not bad for someone who did not become interested in golf until his senior year at CCHS.
"I was not very good at that time," he admitted Friday. He also played basketball and baseball for CCHS, but his senior year opted out of baseball in favor of golf.
There's a new face attending to patients at Carroll County Family Practice.
Dr. Milagros Rivera began working at the practice, located in Carroll County Memorial Hospital, about two weeks ago after more than 13 years as a physician in the Louisville metropolitan area.
Rivera, who is fluent in Spanish, has a passion for family practice and hopes to help members of the local Hispanic community.
Music has been a part of Helen Mumphrey's life since she began "piddling around on the piano" at age 3.
At age 9, she began taking piano lessons with Mrs. Dewey Akers.
"At that time, it was 75 cents a half hour," Mumphrey recalls. "It was still hard to come up with it, but my mother did. She made sure I got that training."
Though she learned to read music, she initially learned to play the songs she was taught by memorizing the movements of Mrs. Akers' hands when she introduced each piece of music.
Karen Pribble does not know a stranger. If you have made a late-night trip to Carrollton's Walmart in the last few years, she probably greeted you at the front door or in the checkout lane with a friendly smile and a "How are you?"
"He's tougher than a pine knot."
That's John Boots' assessment of his grandson, Colston, 11, who lives with his family in their Harbor Point home in Carrollton.
Colston Boots, a sixth-grader at Carroll County Middle School, is a rising star on the dirt-bike racing circuit, competing in – and winning – competitions on tracks throughout Kentuckiana.
Worthville resident Joe Dickerson loves his country, the military and teaching young people. A Navy veteran, he now spends most of his time leading high school and middle school students in the Carroll County Honor Guard, a group that proudly presents the nation's colors and armed service flags at parades, high school sporting events and ceremonies.
Ben Collette sees his future in Carrollton's past.
Though a native of Fairfield, Ohio, Collette, who works as a teller at River Valley Financial Bank's Carrollton branch, is an avid history buff and has adopted the city's heritage as his own.
For years, Sherry Stamper was haunted by something she saw during her first home visit when she worked as a school nurse in her hometown of Hazard, Ky.
It was more than the filth that permeated the home – and the vision of a baby crawling through that filth, putting into its mouth old potato peels and anything else it found on the floor.
Adventure, truly, is the spice of Hazel Ray's life.
Ray, who was born and raised in Minnesota, lived in Hawaii and California while her late husband, John T. Ray, who originally was from Carroll County, served in the U.S. Navy. The couple moved to Carrollton after John Ray retired.
"This was his home, and I made it mine," she said.
MADISON, Ind. – Matt Bickers may not be a large man, but he's becoming a powerful force in the world of professional wrestling.
A teacher by day, Bickers is the new owner of the once-defunct Supreme Championship Wrestling in Madison, Ind.
As a boy, he fell in love with the sport during the "WrestleMania" years, watching such television wrestling stars as Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper and Jesse Ventura (before his stint as Minnesota's governor) beat their competition in the ring.

By: Solomon Syed
After the jury returned a not guilty verdict in the Roger Clemens trial, the attention is now turning to his chances of getting inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Our Solomon Syed joined us from Cooperstown with more.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- The Rocket may have been found innocent in a court of law, but the court of public opinion is not so forgiving.
Ultimately, fans won't cast a ballot for the Hall of Fame. Instead, 650 baseball writers from across America will decide Clemens' fate. He needs 75 percent of the vote to get in, but that may be tougher than pitching a perfect game.
Clemens has been connected to performance enhancing drugs for years, with many now convinced his electric fastball got an unnatural boost.
However, based on stats alone, Clemens would be a shoo-in. The Hall of Fame, itself, recognizes this. They have several of Clemens' caps and a glove already on display here, commemorating some of his record-setting performances, and either way, they will honor the voters' decision.
It should be noted - one of the qualifications for enshrinement is that the candidate must have demonstrated sportsmanship, character and integrity, so the voters won't just be looking at stats alone.
Clemens will appear for the first time on the ballot this December, so we'll find out pretty soon if he strikes out with the voters or not.

EDIT : I changed to title to Ray Peat experiences? since there was some confusion about the previous title (Ray Peat failures). So, what are you experiences with Ray Peat? What symptoms improved, what got worse?
Is there anyone who failed on Ray Peat's diet by doing it right?
In this question, Cliff said (in a comment) :
Obviously the low carb didn't work for hanne either or she wouldn't be seeking out alternatives. It seems like to me the majority of people fail on low carb, I've never seen anyone fail on ray peat doing it right.
He definitely has a point that lots of people fail on low carb (though I wouldn't say the majority, since most of us do well on it for a couple of months then fail).
Danny Roddy also seems pretty confident and seems to have a Peat-solution for everything. Still, I wonder if anyone failed? I applied some of Peat's ideas to my regimen (less veggies more fruit), and I gotta say it helped a bit already.

I purchase this one as a replacement to my old Sears 6 gal shop vac. After 27 years of use it needed a motor. I think I got my money's worth. This unit does not have a large foot print and as many reviewers have mentioned before the size of the tank being vertical makes it easy to pull around a crowed shop, easy to park and does not tip over. Power is 3x greater than my old unit with 20% of the noise level. Cleaing cars and minivans is a snap. The hose size is a little strange but I have found some attachments that fit in nicely just by changing the hose with a longer crush proof unit. Thanks Sears for making a great product. Now if I can only figure out what replacement filters i can use.....

Pleanty of suction to handle every task I've asked of it. Cleaning up the garage after a woodworking project is no problem. Also does a fine job cleaning the cars. And even with the ample power, this vac is reasonably quiet. Barely louder than a household, carpet vaccuum. Your neighbors will certainly appreciate that, but a quiet tool is better for the user too. The shape of the vac is also a bonus. Being taller and skinnier than some other vacs in this class make it a bit easier to manuever through a crowded shop or driveway. Build quality is good, if not great. Wheels, body, and hose all seem plenty durable. This product comes with pretty much everything you need. I don't believe mine came with a crevice tool. But most of the attachments are carried at Sears for a modest cost. And the number of available accessories is considerable. I'll likely pick up a HEPA filter for my vac in the near future.

I am a IT professional and needed something portable to clean up drywall dust, saw dust, wire clippings and general debris after a job. The performance of this vac really impressed me. It's small, light, has a small footprint, quite and very powerful! The on board storage is great and it looks like it uses a regular shop vac filter as well. I like the stainless steel look as well, which is very easy to clean as well. Overall, a great performer that I can see using around the house/car, not just the job site. A+++!

I love my new 4 HP vacuum. As a DIU guy, I'm always working on projects in my shop. My 5 HP, 12 gallon Shop Vac finally died. It performed well enough but was very noisy, physically quite large (with the tool storage container on the back), the 2 1/2 inch hose was clumsy (especially when cleaning out vehicles), and when I pulled it by the hose, never seemed to follow me in a straight line. My new Craftsman is significantly quieter. It has fixed larger diameter wheels in back and nicer quality casters in front, so it tracks behind me appropriately and pulls easily. Tool storage is well designed and doesn't increase the foot print of the vac. The design of the latches which hold the power unit to the tank are superb - secure and very easy to use. It came with 1 7/8 inch diameter hose which, for all around home owner use, is an excellent compromise. Finally, for all but contractor use, 8 gallons is optimum. It's a no joke good size, but not significantly larger than a 4 to 6 g

good value for the price. looks good and easy to move around. has good spots to store attachments. the only negative is it did not come with a dust attachment brush which I had to buy separately.

I did not like this vacuum. I bought to vacuum my cars and it has poor suction and the attachment for vacuuming the carpet has such a small and distorted opening that a pistachio shell or a galled up gum wrapper won't fit through.

The U.S. Conference of Bishops is meeting in Baltimore. On Tuesday, the group expressed concern about what they see as the weakening of religious liberty in the U.S.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the Catholic Church will not comply with the Obama administration mandate to provide birth control and abortion coverage in health insurance plans.
Catholics protested outside the conference, drawing attention to what they charge is the partisan and heated rhetoric used by the church leading up to the election from the pulpit, giving Catholics an ultimatum -- vote Republican or (be) against your church.
They delivered a 25,000 signature petition calling on church leaders to reconsider the perceived alliance with the GOP.
"We saw in New York City a pastor publish in his church bulletin an endorsement of Mitt Romney. We saw bishops in Green Bay, Wisconsin and in Illinois having letters read at every mass saying their souls are in eternal jeopardy if you vote for a party or candidate that supports an intrinsic evil," protestor James Salt said.
Exit polling revealed a majority of Catholics voted for President Barack Obama.
Despite the fact that his administration considers forcing religious institutions to provide health insurance plans that include contraceptive coverage and abortion-inducing drugs.
Bishops said this puts them on a potential collision course with the president.
"Right now, I could tell you the only thing we are certainly prepared to do is not give in. Not violate our consciences and not obey something we consider immoral," Dolan said.
The bishops view voter support of same-sex marriage as an opportunity to re-tool their message, not to bend to culture.

I've been wearing Elle since it first came out....I've worn 3 classics for over 30 years... Calandre, Caleche and Rive Gauche...they were my staples and I was always hesitant to change. One day I sprayed Elle on and for 3 straight days I kept smelling the t-shirt I had worn to the store and was completely intoxicated and knew I had to get it. I cannot even begin to tell you the compliments from men and from women - everyday I wear it to work and everyday someone loves to hug me and smell me!!! I wear it for evening affairs, for casual events - I basically just ADORE THIS SCENT on my body. I love the body lotion and then I layer it with the scent. I use Nivea body lotion since it's a little thick and mix it with the Elle body lotion and then a spritz of Elle and it lasts all day into the night. I hope this fragrance is never ever discontinued, I would be heartbroken. I love Rive Gauche too but this is the most sexy and sensual scent I've ever worn!
