I first noticed it with my 57-year-old sister, Ellen. After retiring from her job as a hospital executive, she began visiting the tattoo studio with regularity, her pale skin becoming increasingly adorned, tropical flowers blooming on her shoulders. I began to wonder: Why this sudden drive to decorate her body while most people are hiding theirs? And is it just her?
We've all seen the increase in tattooing among the younger set (what self-respecting 20-something doesn't have one at the base of her spine?), but it seems this trend is not restricted by age.
In an analysis of his clientele over the last few months, "Bald Bill" Henshaw, the owner of Yankee Tattoo in Burlington, Vermont, found that 13% were over the age of 50, and more than half of them women. Even he was shocked at this. "Twenty, even fifteen years ago it was less than 1%."
It isn't limited to his shop. Tattoo artists across the country say they've noticed the trend. As Mizuz Inkaholik of Texas Body Art said, "It's not just for grandkids anymore."
Anthropologist Margo DeMello, author of Bodies of Inscription: A Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community, speculates that it has to do with the reaching of new stages. "Middle class women in particular use tattoos to express their changing identities and senses of self, and both men and women use tattoos now to mark important milestones in their lives – going back to school, getting a divorce, etc."
Historically (in our culture), it has been more acceptable for men to get tattooed, whatever their age, but now more and more women are finding their way to the studio. "Women are leaders in being free and adventurous in their older age…we have had quite a few customers with hot flashes," artist Tanja Nixx quips from her shop in San Francisco.
Like my sister, the youth of the 1960s are now entering their 60s and "older people" aren't what they used to be. Lyle Tuttle, a well-known tattoo artist, says these aging baby-boomers "are people who think young. Old people used to be fuddy-duddies; it's changing."
Bald Bill recently worked on an 86-year-old woman who wanted a tattoo before she died. Her daughter got permission from the doctor, checked her out of the nursing home, and took her to Yankee Tattoo. When Bill asked why she hadn't done it earlier, she replied, "Honey, Southern ladies didn't get tattoos in my day."
As the needles buzzed over her shoulder, Ellen explained that for her, tattoos at this stage of life are about not caring what other people think; they're just for you.
Susan B. agrees. She is turning 65 and is getting her first – an angel on her shoulder. When I asked her why she wanted a tattoo, she said, "It's another way of expressing myself in an artistic and individual manner." When I pressed her with, "Yes, but why now?" she responded with a sly smile, "Why not?" Indeed.

I was in a kickboxing club for 3 years.
And I love 50s style Rock 'n' Roll dancing.
At the end of my French and German Translation and Interpreting degree, I upped sticks and moved to Germany after being offered an internship in a translation agency. It was there that I was first introduced to SEO, when I accidentally got involved in some onpage and link building work.
I returned to work as a full-time translator in Edinburgh which I loved, but really wanted to add another string to my bow as they say! I did some voluntary SEO agency work in the evenings for a while then luckily found myself at QueryClick.
When I'm not in the office I love keeping my hand in freelance translation work, as well as keeping fit with aerobics, yoga and swimming, and drinking White Russian cocktails with friends.

Charles Criner, artist on display in Art Alcove in February
Charles Criner is the artist on display this month in the Art Alcove. He writes about his work: "I have often been accused of not drawing and painting enough pretty people and beautiful things. I believe that art in its truest state is not about what is pretty and what will look good with curtains and tables. Although many artist risk their livelihood by not painting such things. I believe that art should have a voice of it own." Come to the second floor of the library and experience his art.

Hey, guys. I'm a new member here. I just entered the world of Head-Fi, and am super excited to be a part of it. I've been an audiophile for some time now, but this is my first foray into "portable audiophilia".
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a good amp to drive the cans.
Budget = ~$300
I think I'd want a tube amp for these guys. I want a lively sound, with rich vocals, and a good soundstage. I've looked at a few, and I seem to have it narrowed down to the Little Dot MKIV and the Bottlehead Crack.
Do you guys have any opinions on either of those two, or perhaps suggestions for anything you might prefer?
Thanks in advance!

Granero in Reds frame
Esteban Granero's agent has claimed that Liverpool are in the market for the Real Madrid ace.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @skygraemebailey
Last Updated: 14/01/12 6:16pm
Esteban Granero's agent has claimed that Liverpool are in the market for the Real Madrid ace.
Granero is finding his chances severely limited at the Santiago Bernabeu under Jose Mourinho.
Only this week reports in Spain claimed Mourinho wanted Granero to remain, despite only three Primera Liga appearances this term.
But now Granero's agent says that the 24-year-old could very well be on the move this month, and Liverpool are reported to be one of those looking to land him.
"He's finding his chances limited at Real. He's keen for a move away - possibly to Liverpool," Teo Lazaro is quoted as saying by The International Business Times.
"If he can't play at Madrid then he'll play somewhere else. It's as simple as that."
Lazaro added that he had heard nothing from Arsenal in connection with the former Spanish Under-21 international, after they were strongly linked.
Granero has found his chances limited at Real since returning to the club in 2009.
He originally left for Getafe, where he shone for two years, after which point Real used a buy-back option, but he has since failed to hold down a regular spot with Los Merengues.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Forest Service to Drop Adventure Pass Fee
Mar 1, 2012 at 11:45 am #1286454
thanks to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
and it only took … how many years ?Mar 1, 2012 at 12:00 pm #1847363Here in Oregon, the Mt. Hood National Forest has just decided to turn all their campgrounds over to private concessionaires. Nearly half of these campgrounds contain trailheads, and the concessionaires will charge a "day use fee" for trailhead parking. The MNHF is trying to negotiate having the concessionaires accept the Northwest Forest Pass, but the concessionaires will not have to accept the interagency passes such as the America the Beautiful Pass, the Senior (formerly Golden Age) pass or the Access (formerly Golden Access) pass. Since all of us 62-and-over hikers use the Senior Pass, we will basically be blocked from access to those trails unless we want to enrich the concessionaires. Or, as I plan to do, park down the road and go cross-country to get on the trail.
Thanks for the link; this is becoming a big issue locally!
Mar 2, 2012 at 11:13 am #1847885This is big news around Southern CA, since all of our local NFs require the Adventure Pass. Locally (for me), the Los Padres NF has said that they will continue to require the Adventure Pass while they study the implications of the ruling and explore options for (further) appeals.
Originally, an Adventure Pass was required to park anywhere in the forest. In the last few years, the FS relaxed the requirements somewhat and only required the Adventure Pass for users in certain, primarily high-use, areas where physical infrastructure improvements were present (bathrooms, parking lots, etc.).
As far as the concessionaires go, we've seen a mixed bag in terms of how they operate in relation to the Adventure Passes. In Santa Barbara, along the Santa Ynez River, a concessionaire has set up a "checkpoint." You can't drive beyond the checkpoint and use any of the facilities without purchasing an Adventure Pass. In Big Sur (still Los Padres NF), the concessionaires that operate the day use areas do not recognize the Adventure Pass or other Federal Lands passes. If you want to use the day use area, you have to buy one of the concessionaire's own passes. To be honest, this upsests me more than paying for an Adventure Pass.
Anyway, I'll be happy to see the Pass go. I do worry however about what the incremental loss in revenues from the Adventure Pass program will do to an Agency that is already underfunded and overworked. As I understand it, the Adventure Pass program was, in a roundabout way, offered to the Forest Service as a possible revenue-generating source by Congress after Congress cut the Forest Service's more traditional funding sources.
Mar 2, 2012 at 11:27 am #1847893Watch what you wish for.
Each year I purchase an annual national parks pass which also works as an Adventure Pass. This is going to reduce revenue.
Don't be surprised is your Wilderness Permits get really expensive. It costs money to maintain things and pay salaries, and it isn't going to come from general funds.
Mar 2, 2012 at 12:11 pm #1847913Official USFS Press Release:
Mar 2, 2012 at 1:11 pm #1847938what does this all mean ?
Mar 2, 2012 at 6:31 pm #1848054The case was sent back to district court for action. Obviously the USFS plans to "tough it out" until forced to do something different. They obviously are backing off charging for trailheads that don't have rest room, picnic table (not sure why they need that), interpretive signs and a garbage can, which the law the USFS ignored is needed in order to require the pass.
Mar 2, 2012 at 7:03 pm #1848063Why does it not surprise me that they're "choosing" to ignore it.
Mar 2, 2012 at 7:42 pm #1848084I read the decision being related to unimproved facilities, the law interpreted as someone should be able to simply park their car for free on an unimproved lot/side of road and take a hike, but using improved facilities, the Forest Service was allowed to charge … i.e. overnight in developed campgrounds, trailheads (TH) with running water (the rule of thumb usually in the western US), intrepretive areas, or even TH with showers – typically concessionaires. I definitely do not like private concessionaires charging for access to unimproved trailheads, though I do not mind paying for their shower facilities if I should choose to use them. I further noticed that they usually do this when only auto access is available (Arroyo Seco on the other side of Big Sur/Ventana range, California). What I'd really like is for the government to roll back the paved roads minimizing the need for human management in our forest service lands.
Mar 3, 2012 at 7:46 am #1848189Wait….you all had to pay to use Forest Service land? That's public land!
Mar 5, 2012 at 9:03 am #1848922I've bought the Adventure Pass or National Parks Passes most years. I think the NP pass is a reasonable, fair way to let frequent public land users put some money back into the system.
The Adventure Pass for Angeles and San Bernardino National Forests just irritates me. The original explanatory web site for the pass said something to the effect that the Angeles and San Bernardino National Forests receive so much use that they have high operational costs, and it wouldn't be fair to have people from across the country subsidize these local forests. That really cheezed me off because around 10% of all Federal personal income tax is paid by people living within 100 miles of these two National Forests. Do they spend 10% of the Federal recreation budget here? I doubt it.
If every Federal recreational property had a user fee it would be fair. Picking out a few near urban areas isn't. Make the fee apply nationwide and I'm happy to pay it. I'm happy to pay a piece of Wilderness Ranger salary through permit fees. I'm happy to pay for campground operations through the camping fee (having just paid for $900 of campground reservations in the last month!)
Mar 5, 2012 at 9:13 am #1848929working for the state level park service, i think the fee isn't to fund the park, it's to make it unattractive to minimize the burden on the resource. those that really want to be there will pay the fee, those that aren't really into being there will go elsewhere for their "wilderness" adventure.
it's a very real way to minimize the impact. we are loving our parks to death.
Mar 5, 2012 at 10:12 am #1848990That's where I disagree with many wilderness lovers. Conservation vs. Preservation.
The way to get people interested in preserving wild places is for them to visit. While true that the places become slightly less wild, I think it is a reasonable tradeoff.
To lessen the point load on any one location, increase the accessible locations. Build more trailheads. Refurbish and maintain some of the many trails that haven't been maintained in decades. Build hardened campsites on more high use trails. Require or at least strongly encourage all weekend backpackers in the Sierra to use WAG bags…
Don't ask the General Fund to pay for all this. Do it with reasonable user fees.
Mar 5, 2012 at 11:04 am #1849018"The way to get people interested in preserving wild places is for them to visit."
and it's good for everyone to have the wild places preserved
so they shouldn't charge fees for use, they should pay out of general fund
besides, if you charge fees then you waste a bunch of money collecting the fees, and enforcing, and a bunch of people will cheat so you're encouraging cheating,…
Mar 5, 2012 at 1:23 pm #1849100building up a wilderness area does not preserve it nor does it foster a preservation mindset – that idea has been tried many times – it just enables the wholesale conversion of a wilderness into a "wildlife like experience". what areas become saved, those far from a highway exit ramp?
please visit Great Smokey or the area around Skyline Drive to really see what that mindset has done to the landscape. if you build it they will come, in droves. the worst thing that can happen to a wilderness area is it gain popularity. many places sit quietly in anonymity and without a major trail or famous back story to draw attraction to them.
those are the gems and i won't tell you what they are, i don't want everyone ruining my wilderness experience ;)
as for the fees, have you ever looked that the Forest Service budget? they are in the road building business. the National Park Service, they are concession contract managers.
take a deep look at the agencies you want to preserve the wilderness and you might learn a few ugly secrets. my eyes were opened about 10 years ago when i started were i am now. shocking to see what it's really all about.
Mar 5, 2012 at 3:10 pm #1849156Sadly, you're right on the USFS road building and NPS concessionaire point.
I was not proposing pure preservation, rather reasonable conservation. I think that Conservation is the best bet for keeping wild places mostly wild. Preserve them, keep everyone out, and nobody will care when the proposal to clear cut, strip mine, or build a strip mall comes through.
By keeping bicycles off the trails, Wilderness purists been successful in getting many off-pavement bicycling enthusiasts to side with mining and logging interests regarding Wilderness. Is that really best?
Exclusions to protect endangered species can backfire too. The California Bighorn Sheep Zoological Areas in the John Muir Wilderness are restricted to help encourage the sheep herds to thrive. Access to Mt. Williamson (2nd highest in California) and Baxter Creek were restricted for many years and trails not maintained. Care to guess where two major illegal pot farms were discovered? Excavation, irrigation, cultivation, and trash were protected better than the sheep.
Mar 5, 2012 at 3:50 pm #1849181Try to concentrate use – like Yosemite valley
People still get to see some wilderness like views
Most of the area is relatively free of human effect
I don't mind bicycles on a trail as long as they're not going at high speed around a corner and then running into me
If we let our senators and representatives know what we think, they may push the Forest Service more towards preservation and recreation rather than so much focus on harvesting timber
Mar 5, 2012 at 6:30 pm #1849295there is a reason the Forest Service is under the Dept. of Ag and not the Dept of the Interior like the NPS. they have completely different roles and they have, at times, conflicting ideas on what is best for some adjacent holdings.
the NPS deals in more than just wild lands, the USFS wants to sell trees.

Show Detailed Description
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes decline in immunity or the ability to fight infection and progresses to acquired immunodeficiency disease (AIDS). Anti-HIV drug treatment has improved the prognosis of persons with HIV infection, but is expensive and potentially toxic. Low micronutrient levels occur in the blood even in early stages of HIV infection and increase risk of a poorer prognosis, but the role of micronutrient and antioxidant supplements in medical management of HIV/AIDS is not well defined. The proposed clinical trial aims to assess if supplementation of untreated HIV-infected adults with a micronutrient and antioxidant preparation can delay decline in immunity or disease progression or start of anti-HIV drug treatment compared with supplementation with standard multivitamins. If the findings are positive, the study has implications for health and health care savings.

Webster definitely had a horrible year, but he wasn't nearly as horrible as most would make you think. It's like people think he played like the Ravens game all season. Hell, there were a few plays there that he had great coverage but Flacco put the ball on a dime where Webster couldn't make a play. And even on a bunch more in that game he had decent coverage but just didn't locate/make a play on the ball.
Hopefully he'll return to form next season.
Love the heart he has but I really don't see much in his future unfortunately

UnNews:Sleepovers identified as death panels

Sleepovers identified as death panels
Where man always bites dog |

21 April 2011
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The American right-wing has identified another death panel: the tradition of young people having sleepovers. After two Minnesota girls killed themselves after a sleepover due to Facebook bullying, the American government decided to crack down on the new epidemic. Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin said:
" | I think that these evil sleepovers are going to kill our precious youth. They contain many death panels, and are going to even end up killing grandmothers of these kids. If President Reagan were alive today, he would be outraged over these sleepovers. They end up costing a bunch of money hard-working parents don't have. The liberal Democrats may think that they are a good thing, but I think we need to refudiate that. | " |
Republicans support the outlawing of sleepovers in the United States because of the danger they represent. Speaker John Boehner said:
" | We need to cancel all sleepovers possible in this country. We may not be able to get it past the Senate, but we're still going to do it! | " |
Many believe this action will be nothing more than a symbol of what these new Congressmen promised the voters in 2010 and will not have any effect on sleepovers. Senator Harry Reid said:
" | Come on, these sleepovers are good for the American public. There are no death panels involved in them. And I think that these guys calling them "draconian death machines" are completely crazy. | " |
Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius has said that any state that wants to opt out of the draconian sleepovers may, but Democrats may plan to counter this since they believe that all states should have sleepovers.
Watchdog agencies are watching any more dangerous sleepover killings like the ones that happened here. These hearings for something seeming as trivial as sleepovers is costing Congress billions and will add to the already-huge deficit. The death panels in sleepovers is still being debated and is split in fine factions of the American people.

Knee and calf pain01/21/2009 |
A couple of days ago, a co-worker and I were goofing around and we both fell to the concrete. I landed square on my left knee cap. There is no bruising or pain on my knee cap, but I did immediately feel a "cramping" on the upper left side of the calf muscle. Over the next 2 days the "cramping" feeling migrated into the whole calf muscle. It does not seem to be getting better with ice and heat treatment. What do you think?
Since you noticed no bruising, if there was no knee swelling, and if your patella (kneecap) is nontender, it is unlikely you fractured (broke) your patella. However, the cramping feeling in your calf could be pain referred from your knee, as could occur if you, for example, sustained a torn cartilage (such as the lateral meniscus) or torn ligament (such as the posterior cruciate ligament). Alternatively, you may have strained ("pulled") your calf muscle.
Since this injury occurred just recently, your symptoms may improve over the next several days, but if you have a significant limp or your function is otherwise significantly limited due to your symptoms, you may wish to consult with your primary care physician, who could then determine if you need to be referred to a physician specialist.

I'm a die-hard fan of Final Fantasy VII, and will stay that way for a long time. I enjoyed watching Advent Children, I tend to watch it again, and it never gets boring.
When I heard that there would be a game for the PS2 which revolved around Vincent Valentine as an RPG/Shooter game, I was psyched. I waited and waited for it to come out, and I sank the $50 it was worth at Best Buy. I brought it home, and started playing.
I'm not completely disappointed, but... It does have problem spots.
The game itself was fun enough for me. I didn't get bored with it, and I was nearly killed a few times because I wasn't paying enough attention because I can be an idiot sometimes. It challenged me well enough, and I actually ran completely out of ammo once, so I went around beating enemies with kicks/Materia until I had enough ammo to keep going easily.
My biggest problem lay with the parts near the end, when Vincent had turned into Chaos. He got Death Penalty, which made my short barrel rifle seem like a toy gun, dealing solid amounts of damage of about 2000 - 3000 points apiece. Once that happened, the game got pretty boring pretty fast; I never even ran short on ammo for Death Penalty; I had enough ammo to deal with everything easily.
Also, when Vincent was transformed, what's the most distinctive feature he has, other than Death Penalty? His wings, of course! You cannot, for anything, use those wings to fly. Oh, sure, you get to move him around while he's flying through that tunnel area, and he glides with them, but you still can't really do much else with the wings. I know they work, so why not use 'em?
Also, the point of the hidden capsules is to unlock bonus features, so it's only natural that they're, well, hidden. Maybe they're too well hidden, though; I only found about 4 or 5 in the whole game, the first one being in the sewers beneath the Shinra Manor. I was frustrated.
My final gripe with the game is the maps of the areas. I remember looking around Kalm in FFVII, and viewing the spectacular rooftops. I'd guess they had that few buildings for the ease of the game, so the rooftops are understandable in Dirge. What left me stumped is the streets; those should've stayed relatively similar to FFVII, but they were more winding and longer. Same deal with Shinra Manor; the underground portion was too long when it was very short in FFVII (only four areas existed underground in FFVII: The area before the spiral staircase, the area with Vincent's room, and the two parts of the library).
All things considered, I'm glad I picked up the game, although I probably should have waited until the price came down to about $20 or $30.

Hello blog stalkers, here's the wedding post you've been waiting for since my last wedding post in June. I can guarantee you that this post was worth the wait. Once in while you meet a couple not only with great ideas but willing to put in the time and logistics to make it happen and that couple will be Oti and Ese. Oti's and Ese's wedding has to be one of my most covered events of last year with endless photo ops from the getting ready to when the lights were turned off at the reception.
A special thank you to team BCG for a well coordinated event. I know you might be tired of hearing this but I still believe a well planned event translates to a beautiful wedding shoot. As usual, I couldn't have it done without my awesome second shooters – Femi and Nick.
Prep Hotel – Hotel Rouge, Washington DC. Reception- Bethesda Ballroom. Second shooter – Femi Paosin & Nick. Wedding Planning & Coordination – BCG Events. Reception Decor – BCG Events. Makeup – Shade Hair – Wunmi. Video – Femster
A last minute idea came up to do something fun and Oti and her bridesmaids rocked the idea
I've done this shoot with bridesmaids many times and I have to say this has to be one of my favorite. The clean white robes against the red was just perfect.
We took the first look pictures at the Carnegie Institute.
What we do now in church when there's a little time spare
Caught Femi as he dropped the ring by mistake but he couldn't recover fast enough
Caught Oti's expression when she saw her decor
We planned to do a quick shoot before the doors were opened for guest – here is my fave
Oti got a bit emotional when she saw her cake
……..so she decided to do a shoot with her cake..love it!
Something in that wine glass got Ese's attention
Nancy having little bit too much to drink I think
Oti and Ese's crowd really came to party as you would see below. I love to shoot good parties.
Love this shot. It looks like the little girl is in trouble with her dad for getting cake
Not sure what happened after Oti took off Ese's jacket but all I can tell is that they just had a handsome little boy a few weeks agoCongratulations Oti and Ese!

Did I mess up by not grabbing these?...Resident art expert?

Apparently the Renouf is quite popular and there are a lot of copies: http://www.askart.com/AskART/artists/bulletin.aspx?searchtype=DISCUSS&artist=11064422
"The Helping Hand"
This painting used to be in the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington DC in the 2nd floor grand gallery - a room kept similar to the original use of the building as the Corcoran's Gallery's first building in the late 19th century. But the painting belonged to the Corcoran which sold it to a private collector in the 1990s due to a cash crunch, Many in Washington miss it.
The art museum in Honfleur France has several other paintings by Renouf.
I really like the third and fourth ones, especially the third, but I have no idea what they are.

For the 12 months ended Oct. 31, the S&P 500 lost 37%. Happily for the five bears in our annual equities contest, their picks did considerably worse. In October 2007 we challenged them each to name one stock that would trail the S&P over a one-year period. On average their stocks fell 61%. All five accepted our customary invitation to the winners to play again another year.

Rocky Mountain High
Trip Start
Jan 09, 2013
Trip End
What I did
7 Falls, Manitou Incline, Pikes Peak
This was fine with us. Chris, 12, and myself had taken a hike down the White River in Batesville, Arkansas, a couple of months earlier, and the subject of hiking Pikes Peak came up. We started making plans to do it this summer, if possible. Now, here we were. We had driven out of Arkansas, across Oklahoma and Kansas. Now, just outside of Colorado, we suddenly see it in the distance. Neither of us are deterred from its' massive size, but instead, the excitement explodes within us. Chris grabs the camera and gets some shots of our first view of Pikes Peak through the windshield. I think of a Dr. Suess quote, "Today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so get on your way." From this point on I will refer to it as "THE PEAK".
Our destination is Colorado Springs, Colorado, where we will spend the week with my nephew and his family, Darren and Deana, and the boys Jessie and Carson. They were evacuated from their home a couple of weeks earlier because of the Waldo Canyon Fire. Here is the Wikipedia version:
Waldo Canyon Fire
"The Waldo Canyon fire, which started on June 23, 2012, sparked three miles west of Colorado Springs. Three days later, on June 26, the fire exploded eastward toward and into the city, engulfing the neighborhoods of Mountain Shadows and Peregrine. Evacuations peaked on June 27 at 32,000 residents. After an investigation, Colorado Springs Fire Department and United States Forest Service announced that 346 homes were destroyed and two people died during the course of the fire in the Mountain Shadows neighborhood. On the night of June 26, the Waldo Canyon Fire became the most destructive fire in Colorado history, passing the High Park Fire of 2012. Upon reaching 100%25 containment on July 10, 2012, the total number of acres burned totaled 18,247. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. As of September 25, 2012, the city offered $100,000 to any lead of the cause of the fire."
Today, the family would be allowed back into their home. As it turned out we arrived about 45 minutes after they got home. Fortunately, they didn't have any fire damage but some of their friends did and much of the beautiful countryside was destroyed. Pikes Peak had been closed and Chris and I thought our climb was not going to happen. Just a few days before our scheduled trip, Pikes Peak re-opened and our plans were back on!
Soon after arriving, Darren and the boys took us on a hike that started just across the street from their home. The weekend was spent hiking and mountain biking with the family and a trip to the local Zoo. The family was a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them. Chris and I both enjoyed them so much, and we will never forget their hospitality. Darren would be flying out of town Monday morning on his job for the rest of the week, so from here on it would be just Chris and I, doing what we came to do, "THE PEAK".
Manitou Incline
Up the side of this mountain at a 68%25 grade is a climb to be remembered. It's the Manitou Incline and we are determined to climb it today. We wanted to do this as a sort of training exercise before doing "THE PEAK".
Manitou Incline was built as a cable car to carry materials to build pipelines on Pikes Peak. It was closed by a rockslide in 1990. The Incline was closed down and the rails removed. The rail ties are still there and the locals started using it for a tough workout climb. It gains 2,011 feet in elevation in 1 mile. Looking at the pictures you will see what a difficult but fun climb it is.
We start out early while it is still cool but soon work up a sweat on this extreme climb. The old railroad ties are sometimes out of place and spaced far apart, especially for a boy Chris' size. But, carrying our camelback water bottles we stay with the task at hand, stopping when needed to rest or enjoy the views. At one point we see the summit. Or, do we? On arriving at the top we discover it is not the top at all. It is what is called a "false summit". There is more climbing to do. Once we do reach the real summit the views are gorgeous. We take photos and instead of taking the Incline back down, we take the Barr trail. This one mile portion is the trail that leads to "THE PEAK", and gives us an idea of what to expect on our hike in a few days.
I thought it was a fun and challenging hike but Chris says, "I liked it but I don't think I want to do it again!"
7 Falls
It has been called the "Grandest Mile of Scenery in Colorado".
This day Chris and I are on our own. Our host family has gone back to work and taking care of other domestic chores. Each day we stayed busy from early to late. We wanted to acclimate ourselves to the altitude before "THE PEAK" as much as possible.
This day found us at 7 Falls. Located in South Cheyenne Canon, Seven Falls cascades 181 feet in seven distinct steps down a solid cliff of pikes peak granite. Crystal clear water from the southern most edges of the Pikes Peak watershed have, over the ages, carved this unique scenic masterpiece in an easily accessed location. Getting to the top of the Falls requires climbing a 224-step stairway. Once at the top we found a system of trails. We chose to do the trail leading to "Inspiration Point". There was an amazing view of Colorado Springs and the great plains. Going back down the 224 steps was just as scenic.
Now that we were "loosened up" with climbing and hiking up the Falls, we were ready to tackle the Eagles Nest platform. It is located next to the falls. There is an elevator blasted 14 stories straight up through solid granite, a mountain elevator safely transports all who venture here to the "Eagles Nest" observation platform, where the most spectacular view of Seven Falls is experienced.
We decided to climb the 184 steps up to the platform rather than use the elevator. Later, after climbing up and down a few times we decided to try the elevator at least once.
At night, each fall is lit up with rotating color lights. It's a sight to see. We enjoyed the sight and got some good pictures.
Manitou Springs, Co
The city of Manitou Springs is at the base of Pikes Peak. We enjoyed seeing the sights in this wonderful town. There are pictures of Chris next to some chainsaw wood carvings here and also of the visit to a castle we did. If you look in one of the photos of Manitou Springs you can see the Manitou Incline in the background as it goes straight up the mountain. We enjoyed eating in the Airplane Restaurant one day, also.
Garden of the Gods
The rain in Colorado is cold, even on July 9. We mounted up for our two hour ride through the Garden of the Gods and 5 minutes into the ride it started to rain. Except for 15 minutes when it stopped raining once, it rained the entire two hours of the ride. Beautiful and fun, even though very cold.
Several times we visited the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. It contains numerous trails for hiking, walking, mountain biking, technical rock climbing and horseback riding. There are more than 15 miles of trails. The name of the park dates back to August 1859 when two surveyors helping to set up nearby Colorado City were exploring the nearby areas. Upon discovering the site, one of the surveyors, M. S. Beach, suggested that it would be a "capital place for a beer garden." His companion, the young Rufus Cable, awestruck by the impressive rock formations, exclaimed, "Beer Garden! Why it is a fit place for the gods to assemble. We will call it the Garden of the Gods." The beer garden never materialized, but the name stuck.
In 2006 a dinosaur species discovered there, was named after the park.While visiting the Garden of the Gods, "THE PEAK" was always in the background and always on our minds.
Pikes Peak or Bust
The day arrived to climb "THE PEAK". I had been on top of Pikes Peak on numerous occasions. I had lived in Colorado for 12 years before moving to Texas 18 years ago. But, I had driven to the summit and taken the cog-railway, but never had I hiked to "THE PEAK".
The first American sighting is often credited to members of the Pike Expedition, led by Zebulon Pike. After a failed attempt to climb to the top in November 1806, Pike wrote in his journal that the snow was middle deep and the temperature was 4 degrees below 0. He believed no human could ascend to the top. His men were not dressed for that type of cold and he aborted the climb.
14 years later, in 1820, the first American ascended to the peak in a couple of days.
Gold was discovered in the area of present-day Denver in 1858, and newspapers referred to the gold-mining area as "Pike's Peak." Pike's Peak or Bust became the slogan of the Colorado Gold Rush.
In July 1893 ,Katherine Lee Bateswrote the song "America the Beautiful", after having admired the view from the top of Pikes Peak. It appeared in print in The Congregationalist, a weekly journal, on July 4, 1895. A plaque commemorating the words to the song was placed at the summit.At 14,110 feet, it is one of Colorado's 54 fourteeners, mountains that rise more than 14,000 feet above mean sea level, and rises 8,300 feet above the city of Colorado Springs.
We were up and on the trail by 6 a.m., July 11, 2012, with 'Pikes Peak or Bust' on our minds. Each with backpacks loaded for a two day climb, we found the fist two miles extremely steep and tiring. The terrain changed constantly from the trail winding through a forest to walking along a mountain side with spectaclular views to climbing over rocks. What an interesting hike. We rested and admired the views often.
By noon we had arrived at our camp spot, Barr Camp. It was a rustic camp with a cabin that had cots for 18-20 hikers. There was no heat but we stayed comfortable in our sleeping bags, which we brought with us.
In the afternoon we busied ourselves by resting some and feeding the resident chipmunks. After a little rest we took a few short hikes from the camp site for some good views. The evening was spent sitting around the cabin chatting with the owner and other hikers. There were many interesting stories that were shared by everyone before sacking out.
We were up and leaving camp at 6:45 a.m. Still somewhat tired from the day before, hitting the chilly air was a real challenge. Nevertheless, we put one foot in front of another and continued on our goal. The trail was different from the day before, because we were climbing ever higher in altitude. At times the trail was very steep or rocky and other times flat and smoother. The views just kept getting more amazing and the air cooler. By the time we reached timber line the trail started the switchbacks called the Golden Stairs. These became more difficult because of the thin air in the high altitude at 14,000 ft above sea level. The air was now cold and very windy.
We reached the summit and, at 2:15 in the afternoon, we stood on top of "THE PEAK". The temperature was 43 and the wind chill was 38. We were so excited to have reached the summit. We walked around in the cold to experience the views and take photos. Many people congratulated us for making the climb and others could not believe we had climbed the mountain carrying all our gear and backpacks. I was so proud of Chris for completing this climb that is a challenge for even the best in-shape adult.
For me this was a bucket list item to scratch off.
We had reservations to take the cog railway down the mountain to our waiting car in Manitou Springs. Chris was a delightful hiking companion and I will always remember the trail, but more importantly I will remember the time I spent with this amazing 12 year old boy.

According to a new German study, girls who are more educated are less inclined to be fully sexually satisfied. The study found that women who hit the books and are well educated are less likely to reach orgasm because they are too busy thinking.
According to the UK Sun:
In the study 62 per cent of women who had completed their education said they often had problems achieving orgasm. Only 38 per cent of women with a lower educational qualification said they had such problems. The study conducted by a German lifestyle website surveyed over 2,000 women between the ages of 18 and 49.
I find this a little hard to believe. The more likely scenario is the babes with less brains had trouble filling out the survey and the smarts ones over analyzed it.
What do you think? Is the survey correct?

As if you needed another reason to love new Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi; here's something that will melt the hearts of fans everywhere.
While filming Doctor Who Series 8, the Twelfth Doctor took the time to reassure a little autistic child dressed as a Dalek that it would be okay for him to be the Doctor now.
The clip, posted by a fan to YouTube, was soon turned into a series of GIFS; leading to the aunt of the concerned young girl to post this explanation on her Tumblr page:
Hiya, the little girl in the dalek outfit is my niece, she's autistic and was finding it difficult coming to terms with the regeneration as Matts doctor is her imaginary friend, she was worried PCap wouldn't want to play with her. We are very ecstatic that he took time to reassure her. He's brilliant!
Upon discovering just how far this adorable, touching video had spread, the girl's mother then posted this entry on her own blog, taking the time to thank the kind-hearted cast and crew of the show for reassuring a little girl that her imaginary friend still wants to play with her:
Next thing a man walks over to us and says to Roxann hello what's your name, she didn't answer so I did he then asked how old she was and she whispered 5. He said well im the director and would you like to come with me. We followed him and he called Peter over. Peter and Jenna where lovely and so understanding. Even though Roxann wouldn't look at them or talk…which is due to her autism. She took everything in that was being said to her by peter. We spent about 10mins with them and I can not express how over joyed and thankful I am to the crew for making both my daughters dreams come true.
*sob…sorry, I just have something in my eye; I'm not crying, honest.

March 1, 2006 - The Town of Marana and Pima County will pay up and avoid trial, it seems.
Attorneys for the town and county have agreed to settle out of court with Codi Lee Colvin, a Marana teenager injured during a high-speed chase and crash in April 2004.
Colvin and her mother, Catheraine Scarbrough, filed suit in March, alleging that Pima County deputies and Marana police officers acted negligently as they pursued the car in which Colvin rode.
Seventeen-year-old Gabriela Grijalva led deputies and officers on a 20-minute chase that covered about 30 miles in the Northwest. Grijalva died when she lost control of the Honda Civic, which flipped and ejected her and Colvin.
Neither girl wore a seatbelt, authorities said.
Colvin suffered back and neck injuries as a result of the crash and received treatment from several doctors, according to Pima County Superior Court records. Her medical bills totaled slightly more than $288,000.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department and Marana Police Department in 2004 completed internal investigations into the incident and their employees' actions.
Marana punished four of its officers for violating the department's pursuit policy. Two more officers not disciplined also violated policy by going to the scene of the crash without authorization from a supervisor, according to the internal investigation.
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik found his deputies did nothing wrong.
However, the county will bear most of the financial responsibility, according to a settlement agreement obtained by the EXPLORER.
Pima County will pay Colvin $258,000, while Marana will give just $33,000 in exchange for having the lawsuit dismissed.
Pima County's board of supervisors and Marana's town council each have to approve the proposed settlement.
"I would prefer we not pay any amount," Marana Police Chief Richard Vidaurri declared two days after the settlement notice was filed in court.
"Our officers did the best they could under the circumstances and made minor mistakes. But those infractions did not contribute to the fatality or crash."
In fact, Marana's officers abandoned the pursuit about four minutes before the fatal crash when a second Pima County deputy took the lead.
The incident began shortly after 2 p.m. on April 21, 2004 when Grijalva sped by Pima Deputy Jordan Seeley on the eastbound Interstate 10 frontage road near Tangerine Road. The deputy clocked the car going about 100 mph, according to court records.
Grijalva failed to stop when the deputy flashed his lights and sounded his siren.
Seeley radioed Marana officers for backup. Officer Michelle Ochoa, a school resource officer at Marana High School, joined the pursuit.
She never got authorization from supervisor Officer Ray Garcia to join the chase, according to records from the police department's internal investigation. When Garcia commanded Ochoa to return to her post at the high school, she went to the site of the crash instead, according to Garcia's deposition.
At one point during the pursuit, Ochoa used her cruiser to block two lanes of traffic in an attempt to stop the girls' car.
A Marana officer since 2002, Ochoa received a one-day suspension and lost her special assignment as a school resource officer as a result of her actions.
Marana Detective Rich Palma joined the chase without permission, too. The detective went after the speeding Honda in an unmarked cruiser, another department policy violation.
A Marana officer since 1996, Palma lost his take-home cruiser for 60 days.
Ochoa and Palma also attended training sessions on ethics as part of their punishment.
Two Marana sergeants, William Hess and Steve Bejarano, also faced discipline for failing to end Marana's involvement in the pursuit.
Marana's pursuit policy states that officers will not pursue a vehicle unless a known felony has been committed.
In his court deposition, Garcia admitted that officers did not know what initiated the pursuit - in this case, speeding - until after Grijalva wrecked the car.
The town's attorneys filed a motion to prohibit all evidence relating to violations committed by Marana officers. Their actions "in no way caused the crash," attorneys argued in the motion.
Michael Cosgrove, an expert on police policy and former assistant police chief in Miami, had prepared to testify that Pima County deputies and Marana officers showed a "lack of reasonable supervision" that "was a direct cause of the crash."
Their failure to stop the pursuit only increased the danger, he noted.
Pima County Sheriff's Department officials failed to return several phone calls from the EXPLORER.
Colvin attorney Michael McNamara called the case "tentatively resolved," but would comment no further.
Tom Dugal, a Pima County attorney, said the board of supervisors will vote on whether to approve the settlement at its March 7 meeting. He would not discuss the settlement until then, Dugal said.
Marana's town council went into executive session last week to give authorization for the $33,000 settlement, Town Attorney Frank Cassidy said.
"The settlement was based purely on math," Cassidy explained.
The town's outside attorney, Marshall Humphrey - provided by the town's insurer, the Arizona Municipal Risk Retention Pool - estimated that the case could cost the town $100,000 in attorney and expert witness fees if it went to trial.
Colvin's attorney contends the case could be worth $3 million when including future losses and medical bills. If a jury determined the town to be even slightly culpable, the percentage it would pay would far surpass what it will pay with the settlement, Cassidy said.
Any litigation costs "would be sunk costs even in what we believe is the very likely event of the jury giving a defense verdict in favor of the town," he added.

The Festival of lights
Lesson 3: Finding the Balance. The concept of "assimilation" figures large in the story of Hanukkah, write Frankel and HaLevi in Revolution of Jewish Spirit. How does a community or a group maintain its identity in relation to the culture at large? How much will it resist outside influences and how much will it embrace those influences? When the Maccabees revolted against the Syrian-Greeks, they were also revolting against a Hellenistic culture and philosophy. Yet as a result of living within the culture at large, Judaism moved from being philosophically illiterate to becoming a systematic and coherent faith. From the Greeks, and later the Romans, they learned the principles of legal interpretation which became the method of interpreting Jewish law in the Talmud.

Grown-Ups: Embrace Your Inner Goblin
Halloween may bring out the ghost, ghouls, and goblins in all of us, but it is the grown-ups who seem to be flocking to fright night in droves.
No longer relegated to a one-day celebration on Oct. 31, Halloween is now its own spooktacular season as pumpkins and skeletons start haunting store shelves after Labor Day. When all of the cobwebs are dusted off, a whopping $5 billion will have been spent on the holiday in 2007, with the average American shelling out $64.82 on costumes, candy, and decorations. That's up nearly $6 from last year, according to the National Retail Federation. Overall, Halloween is the second-biggest holiday behind Christmas in home-decorating sales, and the sixth-biggest retail holiday for overall sales.
Trendspotters say Halloween-crazed adults have been driving much of that spending for the past five years, although no one knows why grown-ups love this holiday so much. Some muse that Halloween's popularity is part of the post-September 11 nesting craze. Richard Laermer, author of 2011: Trendspotting for the Next Decade, says fantasy is absolutely crucial for stressed-out adults right now. "The idea of pretending is something that we all just realized is not only possible, but absolutely essential," Laermer says.
Others say grown-ups simply embrace Halloween to have some much-needed fun: "Halloween is a holiday that brings out the kid in all of us," says Sam Calagione, owner of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton, Del. "It allows us to be mischievous, adventurous, and creative." Talk about getting into the holiday spirit: This year Dogfish produced 35,000 cases of its Punkin Ale beer, which is brewed with pumpkin meat and brown sugar.
Tricked-Out Treats
Candymakers, meanwhile, are creating sophisticated indulgences that go well beyond the standard fare of candy corn. At chocolate giant Godiva, a unit of Campbell Soup (CPB), impulse shoppers can gorge, for $4.50 each, on a fresh strawberry dipped in white chocolate and designed to look like a ghost. "Adults seem to love the fun aspects of Halloween, even more than children," says Erica Lapidus, Godiva's head of public relations and promotion.
As for other treats, the Great Pumpkin's got nothing on the $50 pumpkin shells filled with milk or dark chocolate-covered caramelized almonds available at La Maison du Chocolat, a high-end French chocolatier. But you'll have to go on a witch hunt to find other boxed chocolates whimsically decorated with pumpkins and owls. La Maison du Chocolat's store in New York's Rockefeller Center sold out of all 400 of these molded $20 treats in two weeks, according to Nora Hovanesian-Mann, La Maison du Chocolat's director of New York operations.
Home and Body Decor
The Halloween-induced sugar high seems to be fueling a festive spirit, too, as more adults go wild with outlandish decor. Some of the best-selling decorations at retailing giant Target (TGT) include a life-size witch that lights up and delivers spooky shrieks. Tombstones, meanwhile, are a big hit at Party City, another retail chain. "They are very affordable, and they don't take up a lot of space," says Bill Furtkevic, Party City's vice-president of marketing.
Godiva's research shows that two-thirds of its customers are planning Halloween parties this year, up from 50% in 2006.
No Halloween party is complete without a costume, of course. Retailers say pirate getups are among the biggest sellers this year for men. "Our most popular costume is Captain Jack Sparrow," Furtkevic says of the character from Walt Disney's (DIS) Pirates of the Caribbean films. "The guys, at least, want to be Johnny Depp," he says. Women, meanwhile, are buzzing to be honeybees and ladybugs, Furtkevic adds.
At Target men are flocking to animal costumes, including gorillas, while women are buying Wonder Woman and queen costumes, according to Lena Michaud, a Target spokeswoman.
One of those pirates, superheroes, or furry creatures might even show up at your office on Oct. 31: According to a new survey by Vault.com, 27% of employees dress up in costume. Your boss in a gorilla suit? Now that's a scary prospect.
