Well, it seems that the other shoe has finally dropped on Pacman Jones, and he's being officially charged in connection with the Las Vegas shooting incident during the All Star game.
The shooting happened at the Minxx Gentlemen's Club on February 19. Suspended Tennessee Titan Adam "Pacman" Jones is charged with two counts of felony coercion.
Charges were also filed against two other people involved in the incident and identified as friends of "Pacman" Jones. Robert "Big Rob" Reid is charged with one count of felony coercion and Sadia Morrison is charged with five counts: assault with a deadly weapon, battery with a deadly weapon, felony coercion, felony coercion with use of a deadly weapon and burglary.
It seems that the authorities have yet to charge anyone with the actual shooting, but this certainly is a GAME OVER for Pacman's bid to reduce his suspension, as he kisses his entire 2007 salary goodbye.
Unfortunately, this also means that Pacman is now the new T.O., where we will be force-fed daily updates about his travails throughout the season whether we want them or not.
And depending upon how this plays out, or if more charges are filed against Pacman, the next Elvis tune he may be singing might be Jailhouse Rock, where he'll see lots of guys striking the same pose as "the King" during new inmate orientation.

Haven't had something for a long time
hey friends, family and husbands :-)
How r u doing all? Yeah I thought its time to write something in here again. I mean it has been a while. I have to catch up with Jana. She better in writing, you know.
Today we could skip, Jacki had her speech. And it was pretty funny. First they had awesome food. jana and me, we were starving, so we ate a lot and enjoyed it so much. Later on they talked about random stuff and Jana und me could hide behind the laptop and we sang the American Hymn all the time. Then they introduced us and we appeared from behind the laptop, which was probably a funny picture. Wow and Jacki even had funny x-changie pics on her slide show. Oh man, I had to laugh to hard.
What else is new. Actual not very much. Kevin is gone finally, not just from home but also out of my mind. Got his adress the other day. Not very useful for me. Let's try to get the Cowboy from his farm...yaeh the farmers you know...and we don't even have a Prom Date. Wonderful, I really think Jana and me go together to Prom. But well I don't know, maybe a wonder will happen and Mr. Right comes to waverly. But honestly, that'll surprise me totally. But you never know.
Otherwise I am very exited for track. It'll start Feb. 23rd. Man, go out for Hurdles and Longjump. I really hope that'll work out for me. i really don't wanna run distances. Thats not so descent.
Yeah little Phil is home, too. Too bad but I think is enjoying? it!! And Balint and Martin are next to me right now. Balint is writing some random stuff and Martin reads his new in slovak.
all righti. Hocky Smocky. Talk to you later.

Don't be surprised I changed the "outfit" of our blog:P couldn't stand the other one anymore. have 2 talk 2 anne then, cause i don't know if we're gonna keep this one.
Okay now to me
Was at the Winterfestdance yesterday and it was pretty awesome! I saw a lot of friends and met new people. And of course....
Mike. Dont wanna say anymore about this... we were making out in the middle of the dancefloor and i just saw everybody around me staring at us. Even Josh couldn't really believe what he saw! I know must have looked really awkward 2 everybody else: I was walking and suddenly he came up to me and started dancing with me. I turned around and then... u know, dirty dancing
Then he started kissing me and stuff.
I think he was drunk, cause u know, i know how drunk people act and talk! He even asked me if he looked drunk:P
Anyway we did that for two songs, one was a slowdance. "Hero" by Enrique Eglesias... I'm never gona forget that song! well after a while I said that I have 2 go since it was almost 12.30 and i needed to find my ride....
well i could have gone with him, he wanted to take me out drinking, but I better be careful with that guy
Don't wanna get in trouble cause he was drinking and driving and i was with him. at least not yet
Well but I know that he just wants to fuck me, so doesn't really matter. I'll see what happens in school on monday

Fuck that shit
@ Jana: Maybe we'll find a new layout...maybe without skulls and pink on it?!?
Otherwise, yeah things are going crazy here right now in Waverly/Iowa. But thats just want we wanted from the beginning on and now we have it...
Since Mr. Marine Kev Miller is gone....everything was just screwed and I was in a bad mood everyday - had nothing do to and was totally depressed. But...now..I finally called Nate last Wednesday. It was kinda difficult to get a hold of him, so I sent him a textmessage and he act totally German *yes* so I called him back later - "I'd love to hang out with you some time again" That was exactly that what I wanted to hear..But then I had so leave for Breakaway, what was k. And we had also lots of fun. So Nate called me on Sunday and we went out on a "date". Nobody knew really how to define it. But well we watched "Hostel" in CF and had so much fun. I was so scared and he started to make fun of me. And Sam M. did the best thing ever..she told him about it and that I am gonna ask him out for Prom. Isn't that mean. This can't be true. I am fuckin' mad at her
. Little bit... but anyways. So we talked about it and for the fact that he really likes me, even before I called him. So he is pretty happy that we gonna go to Prom. and I'm also because I have a prom date, especially because he is number one on my prom list and I started above and I got number one. - I still can't belive it. Now I just hope Jana's gonna find one too!!!
Time is moving on and track finally started
Its way hard but its also fun and i am glad to have something to do. anyways...I dont know....Just wanna enjoy my time here and actual I so dont wanna go home in June. Maybe fly home for one week and then start College here. That'll be awesome. I mean Romeo did it... And I know somebody who would be waaaaaayyyyyy happy about that
Bye people and talk to you guys later.

Since I'm pretty new to quilting, I have an excuse to buy fabric. I need to build up my stash! Who could argue with that, right?
So here are the latest and greatest:
I had to chuckle when I opened my package from China, and it contained a Chinese newspaper with an American basketball player on it.
My mom jokingly threatened to steal the poppy print, so that will probably become part of a gift project for her.
I want to use the shoe print to make a mat for guests to put their shoes on. We don't wear shoes in the house, and when people come over they always ask where to put their shoes. So, this would be the perfect spot.
And my current favorite, Dowry. I want to make something that I can carry around at all times, so that I can look at that gorgeousness on demand!
Phew! I don't need to buy any more for awhile. (At least until the next good sale….)
Linking up to Sunday Stash at Finding Fifth.

I say...
i was trying to correlate so many things lately.. read two books of 'Paulo cohelo' in a week...' Brida' and 'Eleven minutes'.. recalled others.. a half hearted unsuccessful reading attempt of the biggest booker prize winner,'The midnight's children'.. a few interactions with old friends.. many old stories to cherish...some heartbreaks for a few.. i never want those to happen.. a few altercations with people over their business issues.. some remembrance of fight over things for those who had been close to heart for 5 years now.. then a few interviews today with discussions.. openly with one and closed one with the second one.. a smile on face while returning back of an unknown success of not-so-tangible yet worthy time spent.. and now watching 'Rock on'.. just like adi saying.. Again!! once again.. again of again i guess for the 8th time now.. in a few weeks.. a closeness to 'Pretty woman'.. a closeness to 'Notting hill'... a deep likeness for 'Shall we dance'.. a major attachment for 'Remember the titans'.. die hard supporter of 'My experiment with the truth'.. love with 'Fountainhead'.. many drops of tears after 'The god of small things'.. 'A thousand splendid suns'.. a line of satisfaction of smile after 'Kite runner'.. a beauty of innocence of 'Anything for you ma'm'.. an appreciation and overwhelmed feeling for a few THE profs of iitk... an admiration for those who taught at iimc... a respect for the places i had been.. i got guidance.. i learned.. i am learning.. a care for the people who influenced and taught me to live.. a respect for parents.. an affection to family.. a love for those who are not known to you.. an unknown love and affection for whom you know.. a sense of writing successfully all this.. as now i know a bit of the meaning of the purity, the sacredness of thoughts, the innocence of knowledge, the logic of emotions.. as i know that the one thing that makes the core of all of it.. its THE HONESTY!! a smile of understanding the efforts with which all this is created.. a pride for why i get to like, love, admire, adore each and everything of it..
'tum ho to hai sab haasil... tum nahi to kya hai yahan..'
'tumko hai mangtiii.. ye zindagiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'........... :-)
A tribute to 'Rock on', a salute to 'Magik' the band, and a belongingness to Prachi Desai(Sakshi) who inspired me to write this after watching the scenes and songs of it for the 8th times in 4 weeks…..

This Saturday past our Community Supported Energy (CSE) club/group hosted a tour of Growing Power in Milwaukee, Wi. This was my second trip and it was just as inspirational as the first time. This time we had almost 20 people in tow -many of them new to our group and had never come to a meeting. When I decided not to have a meeting of the CSE group in Decemeber, I was hoping to use the Growing Power tour as a way to maintian, and even improve, momentum in the project. And I think its worked.
The biggest obstacle (other than funding!) that the group is experiencing right now is lack of direction. This is not surprising given my penchant to flit from project to project, but the CSE has so many potential variations, we are really struggling with where to begin. In our last meeting we did spent sometime on this very issue, and narrowed it down to 2 essential "core" elements. The first is our Wood Chip Gasifier. The ability to turn locally produced biomass into heat and electricity in a small scale co-gen unit is absolutely crucial and the heart of our CSE. The second element we agreed on was an Aquaponics Greenhouse. This may seem odd for a CSE, but we're permaculturists and function stacking the gasifier with Tilapia production as a use for the waste heat seems fantastic. Next up will be ethanol production with the fishes getting fed on the left over mash.
The beauty of that system is that the elctricity from the gasifier is not produced at a marketable rate, nor is the ethanol from a small still. But by tagging them onto a Tilapia Aquaponic facility both electricity and ethanol can be considered waste products of the fish operation. Nice. This is why permaculture is so exciting, the possiblities are endless and when system design becomes elegant, your "wastes" turn into things like grid electricity and liquid bio-fuels!
One of the tour attendees was the farmer that allows me to use .5 acres of his property for my market garden. This was his second tour as well, so we both spent most of the time sticking our heads into the nuts and bolts of the operation while the rest of the group was getting the scripted tour. At almost every turn one of us would say to the other "we HAVE to do this".
One of the most inspiring aspects of Growing Power is how accesible they make their processes. They are growing 10,000#'s of Tilapia annually in a plastic Hoop House that they built for $700. They also found that by heating the greenhouse with the Tilapia water it is more efficient than heating the air so they can grow veggies year round. We want to add a gasifier as the primary heat source rather than their NG pool heater. Our current thinking is that we make a dedicated, more permanent greenhouse with a cob/strawbale foundation with a strawbale/cob north wall heat sink onto which we will house the gasifier operation. Onto this we would look to add ethanol production, pellet mills, and perhaps a methane digester and biodiesel operation as time and money permit.
We are planning to crunch numbers this month, but are fairly certain we can build the greenhouse, complete with in ground Tilapia pool and heater (NG for starters) for $5-10k in materials. We would then hope to use 2009 to install a gasifier (version 2.01 and another $1-2k) and use the NG unit as a backup. This size facility could be housed on as little as .25 acres, though biomass would have to be sourced. Luckily one of the attendees of the tour happens to own 30 acres of woodland in the county and is looking for a solution to his Box Elder "weed tree" problem. Enter the pellet mill ($6k)!
With are energies rekindled after seeing aquaponics in action, and an achievable project size in mind I am even more excited than before to see this local food/energy project get off the ground. With funding in the sub $20k range (with pellet mills) a small business loan is possible or we can pull in money as a coop to cover it. Prolly some of both. We will do this.
Be the Change.

What's the first thing people see when they enter your home? Is there clutter? Are your kids shoes and backpacks strewn across the floor? Or is it boring and drab?
There are many DIY home décor ideas that get hidden away in rooms guests will never see. However, the entryway to your home sends an immediate signal when your guests walk through the door. It should be cared for and designed in a way that shows off your unique flair. Instead of looking like a dropping ground for your family's belongings, your entryway should be inviting and welcoming for anyone who enters.
Make an instant upgrade today using these five tips.
1. Make It Seasonal
Each month of the year brings new inspiration for décor. Set a festive tone from the moment your guests walk in with small seasonal updates to your entryway. For example, add lanterns with pumpkins for Halloween, or yellow flowers for April. Refreshing your entryway month after month will keep your home looking up-to-date and modern with minimal effort.
2. Light a candle
3. Use Hooks
Hanging hooks over a small bench in your entryway makes your home functional and chic. You can hang purses and bags on the hooks, or you can spruce it up and use them for décor. Hang a wreath off one of the hooks to represent the season. Or, hang pictures to show the happier moments with your family. Hooks are easy to personalize. They offer a fun way to make instant upgrades to your entryway.
4. Hang A Chalkboard
Chalkboards are ideal for entryways because they allow you to leave notes and reminders for your family. Better yet, they can easily be updated to touch on the event you are about to host. If you're having a birthday party, personalize your home by publicly wishing the person you're celebrating Happy Birthday. Chalkboards are versatile but chic with their black and white color.
5. Add A Mirror
If your entryway is small, make it look twice the size by adding a mirror. Hang a mirror on the wall or add a floor to ceiling mirror for an extra large upgrade. Mirrors reflect the other wall adding extra dimension and space to an otherwise narrow spot in your home.
Entryways are fun because the space is small and can easily be updated. With a simple upgrade to your entryway your guests will feel more at ease from the moment they walk through your front door.
How have you upgraded your entryway? Tell us in the comments below!

Do you know the stats of your ring (carat size, clarity, etc)? I'm just curious how many of you either already knew beforehand or asked for the specific stats on your engagement ring when you got it. This also relates to ettiquette-is it rude to ask?

United States District Court, E.D. Pennsylvania
June 15, 2017
E. Frank Hopkins Seafood, Co., Inc., Plaintiffv.Elio Olizi; Cheryl Olizi; and Pure Fish Seafood, LLC, Defendants
Joyner, J.
the court are Defendants' Motion to Dismiss (Doc. No. 6)
and Plaintiff's Response in Opposition thereto (Doc. No.
8). For the reasons set forth in this Memorandum, the Motion
is denied in its entirety.
E. Frank Hopkins Seafood, Co., Inc. ("Hopkins")
is a wholesale seafood distributor located in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. (Compl. ¶ 3). To facilitate its business,
Hopkins has developed and maintains lists of customers and
suppliers, order histories for these parties, and pricing
strategies. (Compl. ¶¶ 11-13). To protect this
information, which is not available to the public, Hopkins
limits which employees may access it. (Compl. ¶¶
15-16). Hopkins' employees are aware of the
information's confidentiality. (Compl. ¶ 17).
Elio Olizi ("Mr. Olizi"), a resident of New
Jersey, was employed by Hopkins until he quit in September
2016. (Compl. ¶¶ 4, 18). Because Mr. Olizi was
responsible for negotiating prices with customers, he had
access to the aforesaid non-public information and had
contact with Hopkins' suppliers and customers, both
current and prospective. (Compl. ¶¶ 22-23).
August 2016, Mr. Olizi and his wife, Defendant Cheryl Olizi
("Mrs. Olizi"), formed Defendant Pure Fish
Seafood, LLC ("Pure Fish") under the laws of New
Jersey. (Compl. ¶ 30). Shortly thereafter, Mr. Olizi
terminated his employment with Hopkins without notice.
(Compl. ¶ 24). He then worked for Samuels and Son
Seafood Co., Inc. ("Samuels"), a regional
competitor of Hopkins, for three months. (Compl. ¶¶
25-26). Upon ceasing his work there, Mr. Olizi sought to
return to Hopkins but was denied. (Compl. ¶¶
alleges that Defendants used information that Mr. Olizi
obtained as an employee to entice existing and prospective
customers of Hopkins to instead contract with Pure Fish.
(Compl. ¶¶ 32-38). The Complaint also asserts that
several existing customers actually terminated their
contracts with Hopkins and became customers of Pure Fish, and
that several prospective customers instead contracted with
Pure Fish, all due to Defendants' use of Hopkins'
confidential information. (Compl. ¶ 40).
for Plaintiff corresponded with Mr. Olizi, demanding he cease
and desist the alleged unlawful use of Hopkins'
confidential information and return all such information to
Hopkins. (Compl. ¶¶ 43-44). Mr. Olizi replied
through counsel, denying possession of such information.
(Compl. 45). In response to the alleged continued possession
and use of Hopkins' information by Defendants, Hopkins
sent two more letters repeating its demands, which were met
with no reply. (Compl. ¶¶ 46-49). Hopkins filed a
complaint on April 6, 2017, alleging tortious interference
with contractual relations, tortious interference with

misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition,

Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss under Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure 12(b)(3), 12(b)(6), and 12(b)(7), and
Plaintiff filed a Response in Opposition thereto.
Standard of Review
pleading is "a short and plain statement of the claim
showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed.
R. Civ. Pro. 8(a)(2). This is "in order to 'give
the defendant fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the
grounds upon which it rests.'" Bell Atl. Corp.

v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 47 (1957)); accord Palakovic
v. Wetzel, 854 F.3d 209, 219 (3d Cir. 2017).
Furthermore, in considering dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6), we
"accept all factual allegations as true, construe the
complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and
determine whether, under any reasonable reading of the
complaint, the plaintiff may be entitled to relief."
Phillips v. County of Allegheny, 515 F.3d 224, 233
(3d Cir. 2008) (citations omitted).
complaint "does not need detailed factual allegations,
" but it does need "more than labels and
conclusions, and a formulaic recitation of the elements of a
cause of action will not do." Twombly, 550
U.S. at 555. While "[f]actual allegations must be
enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative
level, " all that is required is "a reasonable
expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of [the
alleged unlawful activity]." Id. at 555-56. In
other words, the claim must be "plausible on its face,
" not merely conceivable. Id. at 570.
Ashcroft v. Iqbal, the Supreme Court clarified that
"[a] claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff
pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the
reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the
misconduct alleged." 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009);
accord Palakovic, 854 F.3d at 219. After
Twombly and Iqbal, the Third Circuit
formulated a three-step test:
First, the court must "tak[e] note of the elements a
plaintiff must plead to state a claim." Second, the
court should identify allegations that, "because they
are no more than conclusions, are not entitled to the
assumption of truth." Finally, "where there are
well-pleaded factual allegations, a court should assume their
veracity and then determine whether they plausibly give rise
to an entitlement for relief."

(3d Cir. 2011) (quoting Santiago v. Warminster Twp.,
629 F.3d 121, 130 (3d Cir. 2010)).
Complaint alleges seven counts arising from Defendants'
alleged taking, retention, and use of Plaintiff's
confidential information. Broadly, Defendants argue that
Plaintiff failed to sufficiently plead facts in support of
essential elements of its claims; that several of
Plaintiff's tort claims are preempted by state statute,
the elements of which are also not sufficiently pleaded; that
Plaintiff failed to join an indispensable party under Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 19, as required by Rule 12(b)(7); and
that Plaintiff failed to establish proper venue under 28
U.S.C. § 1391, as required by Rule 12(b)(3). We first
address the 12(b)(6) motion with respect to each claim, then
we address the 12(b)(7) and 12(b)(3) motions.
Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim under Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6)
Tortious Interference with Contractual Relations
Pennsylvania Supreme Court expressly adopted the following
standard for tortious interference with contractual
One who intentionally and improperly interferes with the
performance of a contract (except a contract to marry)
between another and a third person by inducing or otherwise
causing the third person not to perform the contract, is
subject to liability to the other for the pecuniary loss
resulting to the other from the third person's failure to
perform the contract.
Adler, Barish, Daniels, Levin and Creskoff v.
Epstein, 393 A.2d 1175, 1183 (Pa. 1978) (quoting
Restatement (Second) of Torts § 766 (Am. Law. Inst.,
Tentative Draft No. 23, 1977)). In their interpretation of
this section, Pennsylvania courts have delineated four
elements necessary to state such a claim:
(1) the existence of a contractual, or prospective
contractual relation between the complainant and a third
(2) purposeful action on the part of the defendant,
specifically intended to harm the existing relation, or to
prevent a prospective relation from occurring;
(3) the absence of privilege or justification on the part of
the defendant; and
(4) the occasioning of actual legal damage as a result of the
defendant's conduct.
Ira G. Steffy & Son, Inc. v. Citizens Bank of
Pa., 7 A.3d 278, 288-89 (Pa. Super. 2010) (footnote
omitted) (quoting Strickland v. Univ. of
Scranton, 700 A.2d 979, 985 (Pa. Super. 1997)). In their
motion, Defendants do not contest element (2); however, they
do contend that Plaintiff's Complaint does not
demonstrate the existence of a contractual relation, address
the lack of privilege or justification on the part of the
Defendants, or identify any consequent damage. (Motion to
Dismiss, Doc. No. 6, p. 3).[1] The sufficiency of the pleading
of those three elements is considered seriatim.
Existence of Contractual Relations
Where a
case is not even in the discovery phase, requiring a
plaintiff to list the specific contracts which it alleges
have been harmed would be an extreme and unnecessary burden.
Aetna, Inc. v. Health Diagnostic Lab. Inc., No.
15-1868, 2015 WL 9460072, at *6 (E.D. Pa. Dec. 28, 2015).
Here, Defendants argue that Plaintiff "fails to
identify a single existing contractual relationship."
(Motion to Dismiss, Doc. No. 6, p. 3). To the contrary,
Plaintiff's Complaint alleges that: Plaintiff maintains a
list of current and prospective customers, (Compl.
¶¶ 11-12, 34); a number of Plaintiff's
customers have terminated their contracts with Plaintiff in
order to contract with Defendants instead, (Compl. ¶
39); and Defendants solicited Plaintiff's two largest
customers, (Compl. ¶ 54). These allegations are more
than mere legal conclusions and establish a reasonable
expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of this
element of the claim.
Absence of Privilege of Justification
Pennsylvania law, a plaintiff must make a prima facie showing
that the defendant's interference was unjustified (i.e.,
improper). Ira G. Steffy & Son, Inc., 7 A.3d at
288 n.13 (citing Triffin v. Janssen, 626 A.2d 571,
574 n.3 (Pa. Super. 1993)). Broadly, "[t]he general
issue is 'whether, upon a consideration of the relative
significance of the factors involved, the conduct should be
permitted without liability, despite its effect of harm to
another.'" Crivelli v. General Motors
Corp., 215 F.3d 386, 395 (3d Cir. 2000) (quoting
Adler, 393 A.2d at 1184 n.17). To determine
impropriety, a defendant's conduct should be assessed
with regard to the "'rules of the game' which
society has adopted." Adler, 393 A.2d at 1184
(quoting Glenn v. Point Park Coll., 272 A.2d 895,
899 (Pa. 1971)). More specifically, courts consider:
(a) the nature of the actor's conduct,
(b) the actor's motive,
(c) the interests of the other with which the actor's
conduct interferes,
(d) the interests sought to be advanced by the actor,
(e) the social interests in protecting the freedom of action
of the actor and the contractual interests of the other,
(f) the proximity or remoteness of the actor's conduct to

I also mourn the mainstreaming and popularity of ultra and trail running. Lotteries, prize money and trail races with thousands of entries not to mention exorbitant entry fees have for me anyway, detracted from the simplicity of the sport. Backpacking runs no risk of such commercialization and by its nature will always remain simple and purely an individual endeavor.
This is not to say of course that I won't still run ultras and I do love the sport but I do feel that this is a better and more appropriate endeavor as I get older.
The question remained of how to begin as a serious backpacker. I am gearing up toward some thru hikes of the John Muir Trail (summer 2014) and the Colorado Trail (summer 2015) and who knows what trails will beckon after that. I read extensively all summer and purchased some books about these trails and even did quite a bit of planning as if I were going to do a thru hike. I hope that there are some people reading this blog who also want to get started and I hope that this blog will help inspire you. I finally came to the realization that I had done all the preparation and planning that I could do. The only thing lacking was to just go do it and experience it.
I could debate on whether a tent or tarp would work better. Whether to carry a rain jacket or poncho or to carry a camelback or water bottles but until I just got out there and tried it, I would never know for sure what worked best. Again, my purpose in writing this is to hopefully inspire others who have had similar dreams and plans for adventures and that is to tell you that you just have to go do it. Just take off and do it and do not delay and do not let anything stop you once you are in the mountains and you will be so glad you went.
I had planned this last 75 miles of the Colorado Trail as a dress rehearsal for next summer's thru hike. If things went well and I enjoyed myself, then I would do the JMT next summer. I can tell you that my only regret now is that I just did not do this twenty years ago or at the very least, go for the thru hike this summer. Now I sit here and write this and my summer is almost over and I have to wait an entire year to get back out there. At least I got this much in and it was so much fun.
|On the road out of Durango toward Silverton.
After a 15 hour drive, I arrived at Molas Pass outside of Silverton at 1 pm on Friday. I had concerns about how I would get a ride back to my car and at first, I used this as an excuse not to go but as it turned out, it took less that 10 minutes to get a ride back to the car. People in this area are used to backpackers and it is no problem. My plan was to hike the rest of the day Friday, all day Saturday and hopefully get to Junction Creek by Sunday at noon.
|Sign at Molas Pass Trailhead
As it turns out, this was the one mistake that I made. As an ultra runner, I knew I could achieve those distances but there is NO REASON to make it so difficult. I learned now on my thru hike to allow for much more time. It is not an ultra race and there are no prescribed distances. I learned that next time, I should just do what feels comfortable. How nice it would have been to set up camp early and read a book or to take a nap at lunch time. Instead, I had to hike continuously with barely time to eat or sleep.
So on my future thru hikes, I can count on 8 to 10 hour days and no more. I also learned that as a rule of thumb, I can expect to hike anywhere from 3 to 4 miles per hour and for planning purposes, should always just presume 3. That is good to know next year because I think I can expect 24 - 30 miles per day and that would be tough but comfortable so long as I do not try to do more than 10 hours in a day. After eight hours, fatique really began to set in.
So here are the details of this trip for those who may be looking to do this section. I had found a lot of good stuff on the internet about this section and a lot of information but wanted to reassure people new to the Colorado Trail that it really is great and that if you were like me and just kind of dreaming about it, then it is time to just get off your ass and do it. I promise you will be so glad you did.
|Excited to finally get under way.
As I left out of Molas Pass, the sun was already pretty hot and the trail climbed up and up for a ways. On that 15 hour drive, I had told myself that if it was too intimidating, then I could always go out for a day, come back for a day and go home. Once I hit the trail though I was almost giddy with excitement and I knew within two miles, that I would be going all the way to Durango. The trail is mostly above tree line for the first many miles and I guess it was about ten miles in that I came to my first "aid station", a beautiful water fall area. I do not know the exact distance because I did not have the data book. Next time I will definitely have this with me because later a mtn biker showed me his data book and it is a must have especially for a thru hike.
|Trail marker that is common above treeline.
With all my excitement, I moved along at a really good clip. I didn't even stop for lunch but rather waited until about 5:30 after one particularly tough climb to have part of my dinner on top of a pass. I had bought a footlong sub sandwich from the Subway in Durango and ate half of it and it was awesome. That was a good idea so that I had good food at least on the first day. Definitely remember the Subway to start my thru hikes every time. I only took 10 to 15 minutes for lunch and moved on for another hour and a half. That's when I came across the mtn biker who had the map. He had been having really bad luck with flat tires and this was his third and he was out of repair materials. Not much I could do for him unfortunately but he was able to tell me we were about 23 or 24 miles in.
|Subway at 11,000 feet and miles from nowhere.
I hiked for another hour so I estimate that my distance for the first day was in the 26 - 28 range. Should be no problem now to be in Durango on Sunday. Question is just how early could I get there on Sunday so I could start my drive home. Again, in hindsight, I should have just planned an extra day and then could have enjoyed the hike more.
I also wondered what kind of cell phone reception there was on the trail. There was actually very little but every now and then you could get a strong signal. I had checked several times throughout the day while taking pictures and there was no signal. Then toward the end of this first day of hiking after a nearby thunder shower, there was a beautiful rainbow. So I stopped and took a picture and low and behold, I had full service and so I placed one last good night phone call to my wife Suzanne.
I found a nice camping spot amongst the trees but with a nice view as well. I stopped hiking at 8:20 pm which was just enough time to set up my camp and eat the second half of my sub sandwich. I also carried two 16 oz Heineken beers, one for each night on the trail. It was of course shaken pretty good but I was glad I brought it along because it was great to have that moment to just watch as the forest grew darker and enjoy that beer. I was also comforted throughout the weekend by the fact that if I ran out of water, at least I had 32 oz of beer.
|Money can't buy this room with a view.
I awoke around 6 am and allowed myself a 10 minute snooze. Then packed up my stuff and was on the trail by 6:36 am. I was meticulous about checking my time to keep an idea of how far I had gone because I do not own a Garmin or GPS. Next time it would be nice to have enough time that I just left the watch at home and broke camp whenever I felt like it.
|Morning sunrise on my hike.
After a mile or two I was able to refill the water bottles and mixed some Gatorade powder with it. I was worried that I did not have enough calories so the Gatorade would help with both calories and hydration. I did not filter the water or use tablets because others had reported no problems. If I do get sick in a week or two, I will be sure to post it here. If I do not post anything then it must have been okay.
Another correction I would make would be to drink more water. There is a 20 mile stretch without water that I encountered that afternoon and I became pretty parched. As you can see from the pictures, the views were just incredible and the Colorado Trail combines with what is called the Highline Trail. This was a little confusing at first because I was worried I may have taken a wrong turn. But it was not the case and overall, the trail was very easy to follow. The Highline Trail portion is above treeline and on an exposed ridge and is absolutely gorgeous. At times the trail would go along a ridge with steep drops on both sides but never so narrow as to be afraid.
|Toward the end of the Highline Trail portion.
Thankfully there was never any lightning near me although there was some sleet for about 15 minutes on this part of the trail. Luckily thunder and lightning stayed off in the distance. I used to also be very afraid of lightning and being in the mountains. I've done enough mountain trail races to know how quickly the weather can change in the mountains. But once again, I overcame this fear and realized that at anytime, I could be off that ridge and in safety within minutes. Probably more to fear from a car accident than the trail.
Below is a video clip from the ridge at a time when I was trying to figure out just exactly how the trail was going to lead out of the mountains and into Durango. It didn't seem as though there was a pass to go through and there really wasn't. The Highline Trail just stayed up high as the name implies.
Finally the trail descended down to a lake and then there is only 21 miles left. I hit this spot at about 3:00 in the afternoon. I began to think that if a I really hustled, I could make Durango before dark. However, I then wondered what I would do if I did get to Durango early. I could go to the hostel but I had no clean clothes or shoes etc. So I thought I may as well just get within five miles and then set up camp.
As it turned out, that last 10 miles was extremely difficult. I had thought that the major climbs were over but there was one more big climb and I was dehydrated and in need of calories. I kept telling myself that when I got to the top of this climb I would take a break and eat dinner. Half way up the climb and with no end in sight, I finally just stopped and had dinner in the middle of the trail because the mountainside was too steep to eat elsewhere. I was really whipped at this point.
But amazingly, after 15 minutes and about 500 calories (I ate a cold pre-packaged microwave dinner - this one was swedish meatballs and it was disgusting), I felt much better!! I had just let myself get too weak and so I will have to remember on the thru hike to not exhaust myself so much. Once at the top of this mtn, I knew it was all downhill to Durango and about ten miles. So I did another four miles or so and then set up camp.
I met a lot of different people on my trip. Mostly day hikers. There were a few backpackers including an older gentlemen from Belgium with who I shared a camping spot this second night. He was doing the same section but he was taking seven days to do it and was loving every bit of it. He had also done a lot of hiking on other parts of the Colorado Trail. I only met two thru hikers. A young couple from Virginia. I congratulated them and told them my plans for doing JMT and the Colorado Trail. They were very relaxed and seemed almost disappointed that they were near the end.
After another prepackaged cold dinner, I drank my Heineken and went to bed. It rained off and on through the night and the next morning it was still raining. My thoughts were on how miserable it would be to pack in the rain and finish the last six miles or so. But I thought I needed to go anyway and so be it. So I came out of the tent at about 6:15 am and the rain had just stopped! What luck.
|Morning Day 3
I packed up my things and wished my Belgian friend good luck and down I went into Durango. I had zero problems hitching a ride into town and then another back to Silverton. I drove back to Durango and had a great couple of beers and burger at the Balcony Cafe in downtown Durango.
|It never tasted so good in downtown Durango.
What an awesome trip! But now I have to wait all the way until next July to do my thru hike! Looks like ultra trail running to keep me in shape until then. Thanks for reading an I welcome comments, suggestions and tips from more experienced backpackers.

This breed of Canine comes in ideal at the middle in the listing. The Doberman Pinscher is an additional German breed to help make the list. In the past, these puppies had been properly trained for being law enforcement dogs, look at pet dogs, and guard pet dogs. While in the 1800s, Guys had been looking for your Doggy that was loving and loyal together with hard and ferocious when required.

Spaniels are really at risk of mammary cancer and pyometra, so spaying your feminine cocker will advantage her long run health and fitness.
Any Canine that may be educated to do this is most certainly good. These canine can also be made use of as rescue dogs. Many are experienced to aid the disabled, In particular the blind.

We had a red collie For some time that went spherical and round with me on my bicycle. She was not merely wise and a look at Canine..but very type natured. The 1st Puppy I had been ever allowed to have was a "wire hair terrier." I used to be adopted and my genuine mother and father gave her to me. I fell so in appreciate with that breed. Regrettably she bought out someway and was hit and killed by a car or truck..our household grieved for a long period. I'm a "crier" so all my dogs sit directly in front of me crying also. ( you under no circumstances at any time at any time neglect that) I cried for three many years After i moved right here…NO Puppies ALLOWED…( Despite the fact that a single manager did enable me to sneak within a kitten for a few years, whom I taught ways to Engage in "disguise and seek out") Among the list of new tenants here ( who has a Pet dog in her apt) advised me that it absolutely was on her papers when she moved in considerably less then a calendar year ago that she could individual a person…my existence would fully modify if they'd let me personal a Doggy…( It could change a heart and mend a damage)
And huskies and alaskan malamutes are great canine. We have now experienced alaskan malamutes and german shepards For a long time and they're both of those wonderful dogs. Extremely wise. Though the huskies will often be very difficult to prepare and folks then Imagine They can be stupid. Not stupid just pretty difficult to train. Jesus August seven, 2010 at 8:forty eight am
Keep to the similar technique as you should for just a more youthful working bred Pet dog, but attempt to simply accept that he might not hunt and flush with quite the same panache. Have a look at the knowledge on retrieving and if your Pet won't get just about anything whatsoever, you'll need to have to teach him the clicker retrieve.

Visiting an Art Shop~ Alessandra Twilight
Music blared from the radio in my car. I didn't recognize the song. American music was so foreign to me. It was some song from what was it they said? The Eighties? I tried not to think about the eighties. They meant nothing to me not even as a human. Though I supposed that as a human I wouldn't remember the eighties either way. I would have been bored in the nineties. I laughed at the thought of being born in the nineties. What would that have done to my parents? Or would my parents be the great something ancestors of my birth parents? That was confusing. I turned down a road, trying to focus on my mission at hand. I Alessandra de Sismondi was going to buy a new artist set. If only I had thought of bringing mine from Volterra. There were several things I wished I had now with me that were in Volterra and I made a mental note to have Petrus fetch them for me. Besides it would be good to have Aro see Petrus so that Aro wouldn't suspect anything. Or rather that I was human.
N. Forks Ave finally came to view and the eighties song seemed to be nearly done thank the Gods! What was the name of that shop? Oh yes it was Brookshaw Art Shop. I found it easily enough. It was hard to get lost in Forks. I parked the car, locked it. I had no idea why I locked my car. Forks was such a small town I doubted anyone would steal it, and then I opened the door to the shop and closed it behind me.
A song that sounded much like the one I had just listened too on the radio was blaring over head and it sounded as if someone was singing along with the music. Not like I of course had ever done that. I blushed at the memory of being drunk. Poor Carlisle to have to see me in such a state. I was sure he would never look at me again the same way after that.
Trying not to disturb the woman who was singing from some back room, I wandered around the shop, picking up different items here and there.
Eventually, the singing stopped, though the music kept playing. I was browsing my way along an aisle full of paintbrushes of every possible size, shape and material when a woman popped up in front of me, apparently from nowhere. She had a loud-patterned dress on that reminded me of the 1940s, though it clashed magnificently with her violet tights and red shoes. A silk flower was arranged amidst the dark curls of her hair, and she smiled at me broadly.
"Looking for something in particular?" she asked.
Not used to being snuck up on. I dropped the paint brush I was holding. In a normal situation like this I would have let the object float back up to me. However strange this woman appeared to be, I didn't think she would appreciate such a scene in her store. At least I thought the store was her store. And she clearly needed a major make over. Those tights and shoes were horrid! I bent down to pick the paint brush up. Oh being human sucked if I was a vampire, I would have just eaten her for lunch instead of trying to befriend her.
" You see, I recently moved from Italy and I lost my art set on the way somehow… I need to create a new one and I thought a fresh set of art lessons would be fun too." I lied.
"Art lessons?" she repeated. "You'd like to take art lessons?"
"Well..." I trailed off, uncertain, while the woman looked at me. After a few seconds, her eyes lit up, as though in recognition. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, and blinked out whatever thoughts were in her mind.
"I'm...sorry," she explained, rubbing her forehead in confusion. "I was sure for a moment I knew you from somewhere. But no, it's not possible." She paused. "But back to art lessons. I'm thinking of starting up classes for intermediate and experienced artists...a few of my customers have been asking about them."
"Oh art lessons for intermediate and experienced artist would be perfect. I was, to be honest, dreading taking beginning art lessons. But I wanted to… To have the experience" I stammered out. " I never had much of an experience at taking art lessons. I was born with a paint brush in my hand." This was true. The slave woman who nursed me taught me art. And Aro just helped that talent along a little bit. That was one thing I had to thank him for. I shuddered at the thought. No, Aro didn't help my talent along. I would simply tell myself that. "In Volterra, its hard not to want to paint what is in front of you." I said. For my city was a beautiful city with a lush and rolling landscape.
"Volterra?" she repeated. There was a strange look in her eyes again. "Yes – yes I've been there. I worked with an art dealership for a few years, and I was involved in some transactions with clients based in Volterra."
"Ah, then you've been to Italy. I must admit I find Forks a bit boring after Volterra." I said and then noticed the time. "Anyway, I should… I should go. What time are those art lessons?" I asked.
"Tuesdays, 2 pm. Here, I'll write down the address for you." She scuttled off, and came back in a few seconds with a small scrap of paper with an address written on it:
The Abbey
251 Sportsman Club Road, Forks
"Oh, and my name's Abbie. Abbie Brookshaw."
I smiled brightly at Abbie. Perhaps I was going to meet a kindred spirit in the woman and make my first friend in Forks. Unless Carlisle counted but I wasn't sure if he did count as a friend. I had ruined that. " Thanks, I can't wait for them. My name is Alessandra de Sismondi." I replied.
(Written with Abbie who hasnt joined the novel quiet yet)

What Do Network Marketing, And Social Media Have In Common?
Nothing makes me laugh at all of the made up words for the same thing. The focus of marketing now is Twitter. Until the hype dies down twitter is the best. According to this article the future of network marketing and business is the mlm multi level marketing game. The article did not go into what makes a good marketer. The answer is that good marketers understand the tools and techniques that allow them to succeed. They also understand social media. According to this article the home based business thing is easy. So who are we to believe? I have not a clue. In this article there are claims to why old media is not social. The real reason is that because they are going out of business they are not considered media anymore. Who cares right? I am more concerned with the latest Twitip roundup than anything else. The latest and greatest Twitter people, places, and things seems so important and relevant. And we always have to focus on design.

Deepak Advani has a personal mission: to help companies engage with customers individually and in context, with relevance. At IBM Amplify 2015 in sunny San Diego, Advani, General Manager, IBM Commerce, used the General Session on Tuesday to lay out the imperative for companies to become Customer-to-Business, C2B, operations. To do that, companies need tools and solutions that work together to provide exceptional customer experiences.
In the world as Advani imagines it, businesses will be able to target customers with videos, demos and more that will speak to them at such a compelling and personal level that they, the customer, will reach out to the company and ask to do business with them, rather than the other way around. The company will also be able to predict with much greater decision what the customer will want not just in the immediate future but even a year down the road.
In the current world, however, there is an experience gap: 81 percent of marketers say they have a holistic view of the customers, yet 78 percent of customers believe the average brand doesn't understand them as an individual1. Bridging that gap and getting to Advani's world of superior customer experience is not some far-off goal. It is within companies' reach thanks to solutions that are fueled by analytics and that have mobile at the core. IBM is working with business partners today to do deep design work in order to make C2B transformations a reality.
Solutions such as Journey Analytics and Journey Designer help organizations step into consumers' shoes and gain insights that can be applied to revamping and improving customer journeys. What used to take marketers weeks to do in analyzing a journey, redesigning the experience and redeploying, now takes just minutes. Similarly, the new Commerce Insights solution gives web merchandisers the data-backed analysis they need make product decisions based on performance. The future addition of Watson Analytics to Commerce Insights will help sellers determine, for example, what products to cross-sell to maximize sales.
Perhaps most exciting of all is the new partnership between IBM and Facebook, which promises consumer insights that marketers and merchandisers. Advani was joined onstage by Blake Chandlee, Facebook Vice President of Global Partnerships, to discuss how the partnership will allow companies to better understand and make meaningful connections with the 1.44 billion monthly users2 of the world's largest social network. "When I first came to the Internet … we spent a lot of time talking about 'clicks,'" said Chandlee. "What we're moving toward is … how can we drive real business outcomes?"
The four-minute-mile used to be the ultimate achievement for runners. Now, even high-schoolers are regularly breaking that mark, and so runners must set their sights on loftier goals. Similarly, while driving business outcomes through personalized outreach has always been a goal for marketers, what that means today is very different from what it meant just a few years ago. C2B is redefining what it means to connect with consumers, and setting new bars for what outcomes businesses can achieve.
