The Millionaire and the Mummies: Theodore Davis Gilded Age in the Valley of the Kings by John M. Adamssubmitted by Rob
This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of Wealth: First, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and after doing so to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community the man of wealth thus becoming the mere agent and trustee for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves. - Andrew Carnegie, The Gospel of Wealth (1889)
The Industrial Revolution represents the primary impetus by which the United States transitioned from an agrarian-based to an industrial-based economy, which resulted in a massive and unprecedented shift in the population moving from the rural country to the urban city. While the wealth of the country significantly increased, much of it was held by a select few, populated by familiar names such as Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, and Cornelius Vanderbilt. This group, eventually coined the Robber Barons, led incredibly luxurious lives that were far removed and in no way resembled the existences lived by the vast majority of the rest of the population. Counted among this group was a man whose name today would be recognized by very few and whose story is told in a 2013 biography written by John M. Adams: Theodore Montgomery Davis.
The life of Mr. Davis in many ways exemplified both the American Dream and the Gilded Age. He was born in 1838 to a well-liked minister known for his fire-and-brimstone preaching and was left destitute, along with his mother and two siblings, when his father died of consumption in 1841; Mr. Davis oldest sibling, Arthur, would join his father the following year. Despite further challenges and setbacks, Mr. Davis provided himself with education and eventually became a lawyer. While many of his colleagues had aspirations for politics or other public endeavors, it would seem that Mr. Davis sole interest was the employment of all means available to him to build a great fortune, and a great fortune is precisely what Mr. Davis acquired in a rather dubious manner; a true rags-to-riches story peppered with shady dealings.
Now we come to the point that connects the excerpt that opened this short review. Once his great fortune was secure, Mr. Davis could have spent the remainder of his life in the pursuit of selfish desires, and even though he did engage in those activities that were the hallmark of his class at that time, he developed a passion for Ancient Egypt and its antiquities, and he personally funded expeditions in the Valley of the Kings in the early 1900s that employed scientific methods to excavate tombs; he was not a simple grave robber. By 1914, Mr. Davis believed that no tombs of any import were left in the Valley of the Kings, and his concessions were passed on to Lord Carnarvon, whose funding provided the famous archaeologist Howard Carter with the means to eventually locate the tomb of King Tutankhamen in 1922, totally eclipsing the discoveries of Mr. Davis. Through the efforts and patronage of Mr. Davis, several very famous and important discoveries were made that significantly contributed to Egyptology, and those artifacts that were uncovered by his excavations were donated during his life or bequeathed after his death to the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Cairo Museum. As with his contemporaries, it would seem that Mr. Davis felt philanthropy was his duty.
Alternating between archaeological digs and stages in the life of Mr. Davis, Mr. Adams has captured an era in the United States when great fortunes produced a class of Americans of such wealth that the world was literally their oyster. It is fortunate for us, I suppose, that they were willing to share.

Before Delaney (Lane) McEvoy was born, the Ferae Naturae virus ravaged the United States causing millions of humans to mutate into an animal/human form. Many died within days but those who did not succumb went crazy and cannibalistic. With just a single bite from an infection creature the bitten is turned into one of the infected. Now these creatures inhabit the Feral Zone.
Fast forward to Lanes world almost 20 years later where a 700 foot wall was erected to section off the East - the Feral Zone - from the West. To go beyond the wall is forbidden, punishable by death. Even so, there are fetches who are willing, for a price, to chance death slipping past the wall to bring back valuables left behind in the exodus two decades before.
Lane was never sure why her father made her learn survivor skills but she is very grateful for them when she is sent beyond the wall to find him. Lane is on a desperate mission to save her father; she must go into the Feral Zone find her father, collect a photo for a high ranking official and come back free of the virus. Along the way she joins forces with two totally different young men, each with his own reasons for helping her. One is of her world, Everson, an up-tight sentry guard; the other, Rafe, is a rouge hunter who seems right at home in the wild environment of the Feral Zone.
Once beyond the wall Lane struggles with her own notions of humanity, faces death square in the eye, learns too late that you dont have to be a human being to be human, and faces her fear of the unknown. She also grapples with her growing feelings for both young men.
Inhuman by Kat Falls is fast paced with a world fully realized and drawn before our eyes. It has fantastical creatures, romance, adventure, horror, intrigue and mystery in a world that pits man against beast and begs us question our treatment of the beasts of this Earth. This book had me smiling, crying, biting my nails, and looking over my shoulder into the shadows.
And this is just the beginning of Lane's tale. Falls intends to write a trilogy and is half way through writing the second book. The release date of the next installment is rumored to be sometime this fall.

Maddie is seventeen, and already has been given the descriptive nickname Mad Dog Maddie for her wild behavior. After too many wrong turns she finds herself in a teen rehabilitation center. Rehab isnt for her she does not want to be there, nor does she think her problems are comparable to the others she meets in rehab. Everything changes when she meets another rehab patient, Stewart. The time that had been dragging on so slowly in rehab is now happening so fast after meeting Stewart.
And then she gets to go home.
Maddie is a changed girl now, shes actually trying to reel in her rage and desire to drink and party but, no one is buying it, no matter how hard she tries, what grades she gets, or how nice she acts towards others. Though she is sincerely trying to turn her life around for the better everyone, including Stewart, classmates, and her family, suspect shes going to slip back into her ways. So what about Stewart and his struggles? The more Maddie tries to turn to him for help the more distant he becomes.
Author Blake Nelson writes in a way that makes Maddies issues feel so real. Her struggle to reign in her anger and party girl behavior are heart breaking to read. As the reader you understand her sincerity, and yet you also understand why those around her are leery to forgive and forget her wild past. They cant fully invest in Maddie again until shes proved herself, and this isnt anything she can turn around in a matter of months. She realizes she might be fighting her own reputation for years to come.
I would recommend Recovery Road to any young adult struggling to turn peoples opinions of themselves around. It isnt easy, you might not be able to get everyone to forgive you, but you can come out the other side as the person you want to be regardless of what anyone thinks about you.

Ah Ha! by Jeff Mack
Can you really tell a compelling story using just pictures and two sounds? The answer is Yes!
Big Snow by Jonathan Bean
While under the guise of helping his mother to clean the house, a young boy is constantly reminded of playing in snow as he waits for a big one to arrive.
Chus Day by Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman must have been pretty busy writing his dreamlike novel for adults, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which was recently voted National Book of the Year in the UK. Yet somehow, he still found the time to imagine a little Panda with a tragic flaw. Terrible things happen when Chu sneezes. You cant even begin to imagine what.
Crankenstein by Samantha Berger
Everyone gets a little cranky time to time. But when especially trying things like long lines or super-hot days pile up, they can turn otherwise sweet children into monsters!
The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt

Can you believe it? 2013 is almost over. And you know what that means end of the year time is Best of the Year time!
So here is a list of some favorite comics from the past year. They may or may not have been published in 2013. Many of the titles are ongoing series so I have just named each series as a whole rather than any specific volume.
All of these works can be checked out from LFPL. I have also named the author and main artist for each title (except for #12 where there were multiple artists over the course of its run, sometimes even in the same issue).
Due to the variety of stories being told, it was difficult to rank the items in order of preference. Instead, they are listed below in alphabetical order.
What if vampires were evolving? What if one of the meanest, low-down gunslingers of the Wild West was the first of a new breed of stronger, faster vampires? Stephen King himself adds his macabre touch to this tale of horror and revenge across the decades.
One of the best of DCs New 52 storylines. Scott Snyder (who is also the primary writer for American Vampire) deftly continues the building of Gothams most important character - the city itself - that he began in the Gates of Gotham. We are introduced to the shadowy Court of Owls and to the Talons, an army of immortal assassins in service to the Court, as they decide to show Batman who really runs Gotham.
Action and comedy mingle in this fast-paced look at the life of the non-powered superhero. Its just a man with a bow tackling problems with femme fatales, Russian mobsters, and the training of a sidekick er, partner. The writing by Matt Fraction is quick and witty, and the art by David Aja is a perfect fit.
I, Vampire by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Andrea Sorrentino
A minor character from J.M. DeMattheis run on House of Mystery is now the star of his own title in the New 52 universe. The background of Andrew Bennett, the titular vampire, is revealed along the way as he battles the plans of his lover, Mary Queen of Blood, to lead a worldwide vampire revolution against humanitys dominance over other species.
Imagine a world where The Manhattan Project was but one undertaking of a long-running government program to investigate and master exotic science for the benefit of the U.S. Many important scientists from the mid-Twentieth Century work there but one, Robert Oppenheimer, is harboring a secret of his own that will threaten the very existence of The Projects.
The Massive is not just another post-apocalyptic tale. It examines what it would mean to be an ecological activist in the wake of multiple events that trigger permanent disastrous climate change. Brian Wood best known for creating DMZ and his work on various X-men titles keeps this exploration from becoming didactic or boring by focusing on the mystery of a disappearing ship which the main characters are seeking. Plus they have to battle pirates!
This para-scientific thriller is about a woman admitted to the emergency room after being beaten into a coma and what her place is in an unfolding conspiracy. The protagonist, Elle Peterssen, finds herself conscious but separated from her body. She is in an indeterminate spiritual realm and wants to get back to the real world. While Elle struggles to return to everyday life, there is a lot of drama involving her friends, her family, and a mysterious stranger who seems to be orchestrating events from the shadows.
Morning Glories is part prep school drama, part Lost-style conspiracy, and all fun. Nick Spenser creator of Infinite Vacation, a title that almost made this list keeps the intrigue and the action going without skimping on characterization. Love them or hate them, you definitely want to know what happens to these characters.
What if a zombie outbreak happened only in a small, rural Wisconsin town? And said town has to struggle with the reintegration of its newly revived citizens into society? Not only that but it has to face the pressure from the rest of the world that is pushing at the boundaries of a CDC quarantine zone. Revival is subtitled A Rural Noir and that is exactly what it is. Tim Seeley doesnt back away from showing the macabre and horror inherent in the situation. What else would you expect from the creator of the infamous Hack/Slash series?
Two alien races are at war but love unites a couple of soldiers from each race as they are pursued by their respective forces who wish to punish them for their treason. They also have to figure out how to take care of their newborn child and deal with overbearing parents! Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples space opera never turns into corny pastiche even though its core story is as old as Shakespeare and is filled with stock science fiction trappings like space battles, mercenaries, and robots.
This series has been described by its creators Paul Cornell and Ryan Kelly as The West Wing does The X-Files," and they deliver on the promise of those words. Arcadia Alvarado, the Governor of New Mexico, is about to make a bid for the Presidency when she is abducted by aliens. As her staff struggles to keep her campaign from faltering, Arcadia hires Professor Joshua Kidd, a Harvard sociologist who has studied alien abduction, to help her get to the truth of UFOs and the alien agenda.
The Shade (a.k.a. Richard Swift) has been a super-villain since the Golden Age of comic books, primarily serving as nemesis to both the Jay Garrick and Barry Allen iterations of The Flash. But he is also an immortal who gained his powers in the same period which saw Charles Dickens rise to fame. In fact, Dickens was a great friend of The Shade when he was still a normal man. In this series we find The Shade in a morally ambiguous place as he has decided to change his super-villain ways and save his descendants from assasination by a mysterious opponent.

Residents of Mapleton Hill say Boulder police shot and killed a large bull elk at Ninth Street and Mapleton Avenue late Tuesday night -- but no one from the police department, nor the Boulder County Sheriff's Office nor Colorado Parks and Wildlife, has any record of the incident.
After seeing a photo of the slain elk, Jennifer Churchill, a spokeswoman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife, said her office will investigate.
"This is a large game animal and a trophy animal," she said Wednesday.
The elk appears to be the same one that reportedly trapped a mail carrier on a porch in the area last week and was photographed by a Daily Camera photographer later that evening. Neighbors said the elk continued to frequent the area along Mapleton between Ninth and 11th streets and behaved aggressively toward passersby.
Roger Koenig, who lives at the corner of Ninth and Mapleton, said he saw people approach the elk with their cell phone cameras repeatedly Monday night, with some people coming within 10 feet of the animal. The elk would then lower its head and begin to charge.
Koenig said the animal also went into his backyard several days ago. He let his dog out before seeing the animal, and the elk did not retreat in response either to the dog's barking or his yelling.
"We were afraid he was going to kill our dog," Koenig said.
Koenig said he previously had seen police attempt to haze the elk using a bullhorn and flashing lights, and it ignored their attempts to chase it off.
On Tuesday night, Koenig said, the elk was in his front yard around 11 p.m. when people who appeared to be Boulder police officers arrived and told his wife that they might put the animal down and that she shouldn't be alarmed if she heard a gunshot. A short while later, they heard a gunshot and went outside and saw the dead elk.
Koenig said it appeared to be a "clean kill" and the animal was removed quickly, with the assistance of what appeared to be deputies from the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.
Lara Koenig, Roger Koenig's daughter, provided a picture of the dead elk to the Daily Camera.
However, officials with the Boulder Police Department and the county sheriff's office said Wednesday they have no record of responding to a call about an aggressive elk or of any officers discharging their weapons that night.
No record of shooting
Boulder police spokeswoman Laurie Ogden said officers who discharge their weapons have to document the reason for firing, regardless of the circumstances, but no one -- from dispatchers to patrol sergeants -- has any record of any incident involving an elk late Tuesday.
Ogden said it would be a concern if an unauthorized person shot an animal within city limits, but police aren't investigating because they haven't received any calls about it.
Neighbors, however, described several police vehicles in the area with their lights on late Tuesday night.
John Lorenz, who lives nearby, said he heard a loud noise late Tuesday. Later, he looked outside and saw at least two vehicles with police-type flashing lights at the intersection, as well as a large pick-up truck or SUV without emergency lights.
Churchill said Colorado Parks and Wildlife also had no record of the incident. State wildlife officers were not involved, she said.
However, local law enforcement agencies typically would notify state wildlife rangers when they kill such a large game animal, Churchill said. It's unusual for there to be no record of the shooting, and wildlife rangers want to know what happened, she said.
'He was a really beautiful creature'
Lara Koenig said she wished officers had found a different way to deal with the situation.
"I would have preferred it if they had tranquilized him," said Lara Koenig, who is home from college on break. "He was a really beautiful creature, and he hadn't hurt anyone, though I understand that he is dangerous."
But Roger Koenig said the elk practically had become a tourist attraction in the area.
"I believe the police acted appropriately in terms of the endangerment," he said. "If some action wasn't taken, we were just waiting for someone to be hurt."

ADRIAN — It was a blowout in every sense of the word as the Siena Heights University women's basketball team cruised to an easy victory over Lourdes 72-37 in Wednesday night's Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference game at the Siena Heights Fieldhouse.
Siena Heights (9-6, 6-3 WHAC) took a 13-0 lead to open the game, and it only got better from there as the Saints took a 36-8 lead into the half. The Saints were powered by their defense and held the Gray Wolves (4-12, 1-7) to just 10 percent shooting from the floor in the first half.
"I thought our defense played great in the first half," said Siena Heights coach Sue Syljebeck. "The second half was a little disappointing to see how our defense played. Even with bench players in, we run the same defensive system and there shouldn't have been a problem."
The Saints were rolling from the opening whistle. Siena's defense was impenetrable, holding Lourdes scoreless through their first six possessions. The Saints' offense wasn't as consistent, often scoring a sudden burst of points before cooling down again.
Siena did manage to draw fouls as they took the ball up strong in the post, putting Lourdes players in foul trouble early.
The Saints also dominated the glass, outrebounding the Gray Wolves 27-14 in the first half and 50-26 for the game.
With two minutes left in the first half, the Saints had already built a 30-point lead, 36-6, and were looking to add more. Lourdes' only points came from two 3s and a pair of free throws in the final 30 seconds of the half.
The second half wasn't nearly as glamorous for the Saints. Despite putting another 36 points up and shooting 50 percent from behind the arc, their offense wasn't nearly as efficient.
"Lourdes switched into a zone near the end of the first half," Syljebeck explained. "It took us a while to figure it out, and we were too unselfish at times. There were open shots, and we were looking to pass."
Siena had its starters in to begin the half, but each was pulled shortly into it as Syljebeck put in her bench players.
"Games like these are crucial to their development," Syljebeck said. "It can be frustrating at times when you don't get to play much, but they need to build experience during games like this. That's why we continued to call timeouts and coach despite the lead."
Syljebeck also pointed out that Taylor Langenderfer was a bench player last year, but has become a vital member of the team after gaining experience.
"The girls just need to be able to keep their focus, stay patient and build for the future," said Syljebeck.
It wasn't until the final nine minutes of the game that the Saints offense clicked again. Siena went on an 8-0 run and took any remaining steam out of the Gray Wolves.
The Saints were led by Morgan Warfield, who finished with 16 points, two rebounds and two assists. Sierra Calhoun had 12 points and six rebounds, while Chandler Levit finished with nine points and seven rebounds. Jen Jasinski had eight points and two rebounds, while Grace Howrigon added seven assists, five rebounds and two steals for the Saints.
Siena Heights will travel to face WHAC rival Madonna on Saturday.

The McPherson Middle School eighth grade football team blasted Great Bend Thursday 48-0 in front of a home crowd at the middle school.
Andrew Powell was all over the field for MMS offensively, rushing for five touchdowns and a PAT. Mason Alexander added a touchdown pass to Ben Pyle, while Nolan Schrader added his own touchdown run. Alexander also threw PATs to Gunner Reiss.
Defensively, the Pups earned high praise from head coach Brandon Labertew.
"Once again the Defense played well," Labertew said. "Defense team members are Wyatt Seidl, Auston Hunt, Thomas Diggs, Gunner Reiss, Nolan Schrader, Jayse Alexander, Kollin Goering, Ben Nikkel, Devin Cape, Zane Myers, Drew Labertew and Ben Pyle."
MMS forced six turnovers, with Schrader grabbing an interception and two fumble recoveries. Pyle had two interceptions, while Alexander added one pick.
The JV squad also picked up a win by a sizeable margin over Great Bend, winning 38-0. Forrest Potter had three touchdown runs and a two-point conversion. Kolton Lare added a rushing touchdown of his own, while Nathan Vontz caught a touchdown pass from Lare. Lare, Vontz and Colton Geren all had PATs.
Only two games remain in the MMS season, both at home. The Pups host Pratt-Liberty Thursday, then round out the season against Salina Lakewood on Oct. 10.

Reverb has announced the formation of the Swagger 2.0 Working Group in partnership with API-company Apigee. Swagger is a specification and toolset for developers and API providers to document and publish their APIs for other developers to use.
"With Swagger 2.0, the goal of the specification will be expanded to make it easier for developers to collaborate on API design using Swagger," said Tony Tam, CEO of Reverb. "Swagger lets developers describe APIs in a simple format that encourage collaboration and iteration at any stage of the development process and that enable developers to add notes on how to make use of the API directly alongside the technical details."
Because the Swagger document is just a regular text file, it can be easily shared with other developers using services like GitHub. Swagger was originally developed by Reverb to help it document its APIs.
To make the process of collaborating on the direction of Swagger easier, the company has announced it is creating a formal working group and bringing in other members of the API community. API leader Apigee is one of the founding members.
True to the spirit of a working group, development will happen in the open community on a GitHub project.

QuoteWhat were they thinking when they cast her? nice curves?
Ok, I can understand this arguement works from the perspective of someone who is attracted to women. But, it does nothing for me. She is pretty, big whoop. Seriously, the movie would have been much better if they cast someone not as pretty, but who could actually sing. Or they could have done some magic with lip syncing. That voice should have never been committed to a recording.

I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.
It's a good question. You might be surprised at the answer.The Bible says that the cross was a demonstration(of God's righteousness). He was revealing the situation as it truly was since long before the crucifixion. God had been forgiving peoples sins and treating them graciously for all time, and had created the world well aware of the suffering that would be caused by his creatures acting disobediently. Since God knows all things, He is intimately aware of the suffering of every man woman and child who ever came into existence. So when Jesus went to the cross, it was to SHOW people the character of God. It was to REVEAL that God was humble and lowly in heart, and that He cared for us and has always cared for us. It was to PROVE that God had not abandoned His people, or failed in His promise.
Perhaps this thread should be moved to Chatter?

The trinity consists of the Holy spirit,God, and Jesus. The are all one.
"Christ, according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the Holy Ghost the third. Each of these persons is God. Christ is his own father and his own son. The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both. The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after. . . . "So, it is declared that the Father is God, and the Son God, and the Holy Ghost God, and that these three Gods make one God."According to the celestial multiplication table, once one is three, and three times one is one, and according to heavenly subtraction, if we take two from three, three are left. The addition is equally peculiar, if we add two to one, we have but one. . . ."Nothing ever was, nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and absurd than the dogma of the Trinity." — Robert G. Ingersoll (1833-1899), "The Trinity" (from "The Foundations of Faith," The Works of Ingersoll). The Trinity" has been set to music by Dan Barker ("Friendly Neighborhood Atheist" CD).

When Orlando Bloom isn't trying to put a dent in Justin Bieber's pretty face, he seems to be playing ex-wife swap with an Australian billionaire.
His life sounds almost as interesting as mine.
The actor was spotted playing on the beach Thursday with Australian singer Erica Packer on the Mediterranean isle of Formentera, according to the New York Post. Packer is the ex-wife of billionaire James Packer, who is reportedly involved with Bloom's former wife, supermodel Miranda Kerr.
Sounds like a wacky 1970s romantic comedy starring Elliot Gould.
As you know, Bloom spent some quality time earlier this week trying to punch Bieber in the face at a club in Ibiza, Spain, after Bieber allegedly made a nasty remark about Kerr.
Bloom doesn't care much for Bieber, after rumors flew a couple years ago that Bieber was flirting with Kerr at a Victoria's Secret fashion show, when Bloom and Kerr were still married.
Bieber fled the Ibiza club shortly after the aborted brawl, and shortly afterward posted a picture of Kerr in a bikini, which he then deleted. Then, after promising to keep the peace -- or whatever -- the next day he posted a picture on Instagram of Bloom getting teary-eyed on a red carpet.
The Post quoted a source on Ibiza's party circuit saying "Everybody hates Justin."
Sounds like a wacky FOX sitcom.
Leonardo DiCaprio was with Bloom early Wednesday morning when the action went down, and reportedly clapped when Bloom took his bodyguard-deflected swing at Bieber.
"When Orlando punched Bieber, everyone started clapping. People were shouting, 'What a show! Justin and Orlando fighting.' It was amazing," Anastasia Skolkova, a model and journalist from Spain, reportedly told U.K. publication The Mirror.

The 14th of February has always been a special day in my life because I still have my mother, who is 82-years old and still very active in the mind to tell me what I am doing right or especially what I am doing wrong.
This is the day for all of the people who are in love or have someone special in their life. The 14th of February has always been a special day in my life because I still have my mother, who is 82-years old and still very active in the mind to tell me what I am doing right or especially what I am doing wrong. She is still living in the home she and Dad bought in 1962. Everyone should be as blessed as I am.
In our home Valentine's Day was a special day. My brother and I always gave our mother a Valentine, a store bought one or one that we made from a piece of red construction paper with a white border for the heart. I think my mother liked those handmade ones better than the bought ones. She took everyone of them though and told us how thoughtful we were of thinking about her.
A Valentine is someone who you dearly love and I have several Valentines. They could be a special friend, which I have several, I know I'm different because I am BILL. My Valentine card list is my mother is No. 1, my niece is No. 2, my first girlfriend is No. 3, Mom No. 2 is Valentine No. 4 and my Valentine Number 5 is my Aunt Margret. I always give them Valentine cards and I have been known to give them candy. I love to do that. That's what makes it special.
Valentine's Day is not a legal holiday, but a day for some of the businesses to make a little money on people sending their Valentine some goodies. It has turned into a billion dollar business and everyone knows it, but it is still nice to shower your loved ones with that kind of love. It only comes around once a year and besides you don't have a Valentine for long, but I do.
Valentine's Day is also one of those holidays you can take your wife or girlfriend out and everyone else is doing the same thing. Whatever you do, top the evening off with a rose; ladies love roses and a rose is a symbol of love and tranquility. Besides a rose is very beautiful with those long stems.
In my days of school, there was always a Valentine Dance, but they don't have them anymore. There are a number of things that are not observed any more. That is a shame because dances like that weren't harming anyone. We dressed very nicely in what we called our "church clothes" and had a good time. We weren't usually gone but a couple of hours, the next day we had school.
A Valentine is something special and usually a good friend or a girlfriend in high school. I had my share of girlfriends in high school. I did enjoy going places with a special girl. I liked it; the guys always hooted and jeered at me. I just thought they were jealous. They were usually with a guy. I loved to get my female friends in high school a Valentine card.
Valentine's Day has history to it. Supposedly, St. Valentine fell in love with a lady, was captured for his religious beliefs and received letters and notes from her. That is what some historians say began the legend of St. Valentine and all of the love notes and cards that we are given today. Who knows, things like that can begin with a simple story or a story that is continuously handed down in history.
Of course, in the latter part of the 19th Century and the first part of the 20th Century, businessmen decided that they wanted to get into the act of making money on Valentine's Day. They did with the cards, candy, flowers, particularly roses and all kinds of gifts. That is what making money is all about and guess what? It works in many ways, the American way.

For more information about the work under way by the Northern Front Range Recreational Sport Shooting Management Partnership -- a coalition whose members include Boulder, Larimer, Gilpin and Clear Creek counties along with the U.S. Forest Service and Colorado Parks and Wildlife -- visit SportShootingPartners.org. Or, people can call project coordinator Garry Sanfacon at 720-564-2642 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
BOULDER -- The partnership of local, state and federal agencies studying locations and opportunities for target-shooting ranges on public lands supports "traditional gun ownership" and "responsible gun ownership," project coordinator Garry Sanfacon said Tuesday night.
Sanfacon told the more than 60 people who showed up at an open house report of the partnership's work, that "Safety is the No. 1 issue ... We want to create safe places for people to shoot."
Boulder County hosted Tuesday night's meeting of the Northern Front Range Recreational Sport Shooting Management Partnership, a coalition that includes Larimer, Gilpin and Clear Creek counties as well as the U.S. Forest Service and Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife's Kathi Green presented the preliminary criteria being used to identify areas that may be studied further for their suitability for developed target shooting sites. Criteria include: being at least 1 mile away from the boundary of a nearby city or town; being at least 1/2 mile away from a residential development, subdivision or unincorporated townsite, and at least 1/4 mile away from a single-family home; being at least 1/4 mile away from a trail, campsite, or other developed recreational facility; and being at least 1/4 mile away from a communications tower.
Target shooting inside western Boulder County's national forest lands is a topic that has drawn crowds of recreational shooting advocates and critics to commissioners' meetings over the past several years. Some residents have expressed alarm about the safety of allowing sport shooting to continue or resume in such areas as Left Hand Canyon, a former community dump site near Allenspark and a onetime Nederland town dump off Magnolia Road.
A number of those critics were among the people attending Tuesday night's meeting, and their complaints and concerns dominated the first half of the two-hour meeting.
One man asked how many ranges would have to be created to satisfy shooting enthusiasts' demand. One woman questioned how government officials, particularly the U.S. Forest Service, is going to control people who might continue to shoot irresponsibly, or in closed-to-shooting areas, even after target ranges are developed.
"I was almost shot in the National Forest last October," said a man who said he was a hunter and shooter himself. He didn't say where that happened, but asked officials at the meeting how people can go about getting such areas closed to all target shooting in the future.
However, another man said that although "there are always rogues," he thought that if there are designated locations for safe shooting, most people will go to those sites.
Government officials at Tuesday night's meeting also heard complaints and concerns about noise from shooting, the possibility of shooting-sparked wildfires, and the messes left behind.
"Who's responsible for cleaning up these areas?" one man asked.
Sanfacon and the representatives of the other partners in the project invited people to submit their questions, concerns and suggestions via email or by filling out comment sheets available at the meeting.
Residents got a chance to meet and question the officials in attendance in small-group discussions during the second hour of the open house.

HUDSON, N.H. -- A 20-year-old Nashua woman allegedly driving drunk and not wearing a seat belt crashed into a utility pole at around 8:45 a.m. Tuesday on Route 102.
The woman, Stephanie Ramos, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene, refusing further medical assistance, police said. She was charged with driving while intoxicated and crossing the yellow line and later released on $1,000 personal recognizance bail.
Ramos was driving north on Route 102, or Derry Street, when she veered into the south lane, struck a curb, drove onto the sidewalk and hit a pole just north of the center of town, police said.
Ramos is scheduled to be arraigned in 9th Circuit Court in Nashua on Feb. 7.
The crash caused extensive damage to the pole and took down wires, police said. The road was closed as of early Tuesday afternoon from Ledge Road to Cummings Street. Police were requesting drivers who normally use that portion of Route 102 to seek alternate routes for their afternoon commutes.

(Pictured Farrell Goff, Barry alumni Dr. Michelle Majors, Associate Dean Dr. Jill Farrell, The Guardian Radio host and Barry alumni Dwight Strachan)
The Adrian Dominican School of Education graduated its first Master's in Curriculum and Instruction cohort from The Bahamas in May 2012. Barry faculty traveled to Nassau to provide face-to-face instruction to prepare effective educators for twenty-first century learners. Graduate Johnette Cooper-Lockhart said, "This is the best university in the world! This program has prepared me with quality instruction and practical hands-on tools to take back to the classroom. All of our classes were connected and very applicable to teaching and learning. We truly became a family of reflective lifelong learners."
Former Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Mrs. Elma Garraway gave remarks at the Curriculum and Instruction Graduation Celebration, "I want to offer a special thanks to Barry University Officials for working with us to make the program a reality here in The Bahamas. It will indeed afford many teachers within our nation an opportunity to enhance their skills and competencies; hence our education system and our children will be greater benefactors."
Associate Dean, Dr. Jill Farrell continues to travel to The Bahamas, engaging in conversations with government and school leaders about the current need for highly effective teachers for the twenty-first century student. Dr. Farrell often appears on The Guardian's Morning Blend Radio Show with host and Barry graduate Dwight Strachan to discuss how Barry University's graduate programs meet the needs of Bahamian educators.
(Pictured Farrell Goff, Barry alumni Dr. Michelle Majors, Associate Dean Dr. Jill Farrell, The Guardian Radio host and Barry alumni Dwight Strachan)
In response to the desire for further training in these specialized fields, ADSOE launched two new cohorts this fall: the Master's in Curriculum and Instruction (with an Early and Middle Childhood Education specialization) and the Master's in Exceptional Student Education (Special Education). The Master's in Organizational Learning and Leadership cohort is expected to begin January 2013.

Previous Post: Shaman Leveling: 1-13
Where To Level
After getting my Fire Totem right before hitting level 13, I went ahead and pushed forward into the Barrens. There are a ton of quests to do in the Barrens, and while they do stretch across the whole map, most of the ones for a given level are bundled together in a fairly small area making it easier to level.
When I level a character in the barrens, I basically grab every quest I can find and just do them all. There is a troll standing in front of a hut right across from the orc blacksmithing area, and I never take the quests that he has to offer. Otherwise, if I see a quest I take it.
A lot of the mobs in the Barrens like to run away from you, which bugs me to no end. I found the Earthbind totem to be particularly useful for that. I also started saving my Earthshock for when I might be able to score a killing blow on a runner, or I would just throw a lightning bolt at them instead if they were headed off in a direction with no other mobs in it.
If you don't like the Barrens, or you are even more tired of running characters through there than I am, then feel free to go somewhere else. I gave a lot of thought to questing in the Ghostlands over by the Blood Elf city instead, and the only reason I did not was because there is no Shaman trainer in Silvermoon City.
All of the quests in the Barrens can take you right up to level 30. I usually quest here until about level 25-28 and then move on to another location. I prefer Tarren Mill as my next stop, personally. The bad thing about Tarren Mill is that the nearest major city, Undercity, does not have a Shaman trainer in it either. The good thing about UC though, is that there's a zeplin right outside waiting to take you to Orgrimar where you can train.
I still love Tarren Mill and the quests in that area, so almost every character I ever make ends up questing there for those levels.
Gear Upgrades
The axe that I had was still doing an excellent job over here, though I did have a few mobs that actually lived long enough to require a second or third attack. At level 15 I had the chance to pick up an excellent axe called Boahn's Fang that falls off of a rare spawn named Boahn that can be found every 8 hours outside the entrance of the Wailing Caverns instance. You do have to go inside the cave, but he's found in the cavern right outside the portal to the instance itself. Since my main character is also an enchanter, I had him enchant the axe to add another 7 damage to it just to beef it up a little bit more.
I bought it on the AH with my main character for 15g. Now, not every shaman is going to be able to buy this axe. Either because they don't have the gold, or because it's simply not available to them. The axe is not required to level a shaman, it just happened to make it easier for me personally.
Once I started using Boahn's Fang I went right back to killing everything with a Lightning Bolt, Earth Shock, Attack combination. The axe was insanely brutal in my orc's powerful hands, and he chewed right through his quests.
When I hit level 22, I did end up replacing the axe with Living Root which dropped off of one of the bosses in Wailing Caverns. I tested it out and found that it dealt more damage on a consistent basis than Boahn's Fang did. The axe crit more often, but the staff's crits dealt more damage, so I went ahead and switched. Boahn's Fang did last me for 7 levels, and easily could have lasted longer as well.
After a few levels of questing I started running through Wailing Caverns and was able to collect almost the entire Embrace of the Viper Set, which is all "of the Fang". The belt was the only thing I missed out on. From the set pieces that I did manage to grab I gain +18 Strength, +21 Agility, +18 Stamina, and 289 Armor. Since I have 4 of the 5 pieces in the set, I also gain 7 Nature Spell Power, 4 Expertise, and 6 Spell Power, and I am missing out on +10 Intellect for having the belt as well.
If you can find the Fang Set, then I suggest you go ahead and pick it up because the Strength and Agility bonuses that it gives to you provides a solid boost to your attack power and crit chance. The Gloves are the only piece that are not Bind on Pickup, so you will have to get all of the rest of the pieces yourself. Even though the gloves can be bought on the AH, I would suggest trying to run the instance to find them for yourself as the AH price is usually pretty high since twinks still use them.
My shaman, Belgawrath (Level 28 Orc), is still using the Living Branch for his weapon and the Fang set for most of his armor. The weapon is not as strong now as it was when I first switched over to it, but I have another axe ready for him to pick up at level 31 that should fix that problem. The armor will still be good for a few more levels still, and I am able to deal enough damage right now that I can kill most mobs before it becomes an issue.
The Glory of Ghost Wolf
Ghost Wolf is a wonderful addition to your skills when you hit level 20, granting you +40% run speed. You can also spend talent points to reduce the casting time from 2 seconds down to an instant cast, which is what I suggest. Some guides will tell you to save the points in Improved Ghost Wolf until about level 22 or so. Personally, I love moving faster, so I put the 2 points it takes at levels 18 and 19, so that I can take advantage of it just as I get it.
Ghost Wolf is one of your most useful spells, especially if you spend those talent points to make it an instant cast. Besides the obvious benefit of being able to move faster at level 20, you can also put it to good use in combat. If you are fighting mobs that flee when their health is low, then you can pop Ghost Wolf and chase them down if needed. If you cast a spell while GW is active, then it will cancel the GW spell. But, you can still attack while in GW form, so you don't have to turn it off in order to attack. Ghost Wolf is also great for kiting enemies around, as well as for making quick escapes by throwing down Earthbind or Stoneclaw totems when you pull too many mobs and then casting GW to run away.
Totem Usage
Most of the time I did not bother using my totems in this area, generally speaking. When I was able to fight mobs one on one, then I would throw down an occasional Strength of the Earth totem to make my attacks stronger.
When I happened to pull multiple mobs, or I when I pulled mobs that have pets, I would use the Stoneclaw Totem to draw agro to it while I attacked a single target. If I pulled more than two mobs, I used Stoneclaw first and tried to kill one of them. If the totem did not last long enough, or for some reason I could not kill the mob fast enough, I instead dropped an Earthbind totem and just ran away until I lost agro.
Luckily, most of the mobs in this area do not hit very hard unless they are 3-4 levels higher than you. So if you do find yourself facing more than one mob, you do also have the option of just relying on your attacks for your damage and spending your mana on healing spells for yourself instead of attack spells. I was quite successful with this when fighting mobs that were closer to my level.
After you get Water Shield, you can use your totems more freely and more often. I don't suggest you use them constantly, or that you throw down all the totems available to you at every fight, but you don't have to worry so much about running out of mana as you used to. If you find yourself low on mana, try to pull over a low level mob and let them beat on you a few times while your Water Shield is up so that you can restore some of your mana.
Survival Tips
Shamans have the lowest hit point totals in the game. They might have better armor than mages, but mages have more hit points. Don't hesitate to drop either a Stoneclaw or Earthbind totem and then run away for the sake of staying alive. Your low health pool doesn't last very long against a multiple sources of damage.
Enhancement Shamans rely heavily on their mana to be able to do anything other than regular attacks. While your attacks can be very powerful, you also tend to have to use a slow weapon in exchange for that power. There are two things that I want to suggest to help you conserve mana:
Keep Water Shield active unless Lightning Shield is needed
Use Bandages and/or Potions whenever possible
Don't overuse your totems
Water Shield: Water Shield works just like Lightning shield, but instead of dealing damage to enemies that hit you, Water Shield restores 10 mana every 15 seconds and it also restores 40+ mana each time you get hit. So while you are in combat your mana is constantly being refreshed. Even with the mana get regain by using WS, the following points are still important.
Bandages and Potions: This is free healing. Sure, they can't be used when you're in the thick of melee, but they can used right after you finish. You can also use them right after you drop a Stoneclaw Totem and it grabs agro from the mobs around you. You can also use one when you drop an Earthbind totem and then run away faster than the mobs can chase you down.
If you can't get away, or your totems don't buy you enough time, then potions are your next best option if you need to conserve your mana. If you don't have any potions, or your health is too low for the potion to be of any real use, then by all means cast your healing spells instead. If you have to use mana to survive, then go ahead and do it. But if you don't have to, then don't waste the mana.
Overusing Totems: A totem is basically a buff that you cast on an area instead of on individuals. That's a great thing, because a single spell buffs your whole party (if they're in range). The bad thing is, that area you cast it in never changes. So if you want the buff after you move, you have to recast your totems. Don't feel like you always have to have your totem "buffs" on you. They certainly help, but they aren't required.
When I am leveling solo, I prefer to only drop totems if I know that there are plenty of mobs around me that I can pull over to within the totem's range. I drop my totems, pull the first mob, and then focus on him until he's down. I then pull the second right back to the very same place, and continue this cycle until I have killed all of the mobs nearby. You get the most out of your totems when you are not forced to move out of their range and can take advantage of their duration.
Fire totems are a huge drain to your mana. If you need a fire totem, then go ahead and drop one. But the first couple of fire totems you get don't really provide enough benefit or for a long enough amount of time for them to be worth their mana cost. Now, I have gotten some serious help from throwing down a Fire Nova totem while questing in the Barrens, and it has saved my life more than once. I'm not trying to tell you not to use them at all, I just want you to know that there is no reason to feel like you have to to throw them down every chance you get. If you don't need your totems, then don't bother casting them. They are there to help you and your party, but they are not required.

EVENT DATE: February 23, 2013
TIME: Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (one day event)
ADVANCE PRICE: $15 per person
CREAMERY: Vanillen Farm
You must start at this assigned starting winery to obtain your ticket.
This is to order ticket(s) to a wine and food pairing event on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, requiring that you start the event at the above chosen starting winery. Please bring a state-issued form of ID (drivers license) with you so you can check in and receive your actual ticket(s). Printed documentation emailed to you by Eventbrite does not qualify as your ticket and wineries will require that you have your actual ticket before you can begin enjoying this event. Furthermore, because of this, it is even more important that groups of attendees purchase their tickets on one order, to guarantee that all attendees will have the exact same starting winery. Lastly, bundles of tickets can only be picked up by the person who purchased them. If you have any questions about our e-ticketing system, please call the office during regular business hours at 877-536-2717. Since you must start at your assigned starting winery to obtain your actual ticket, having different starting wineries in the same group of attendees traveling together can be problematic. If you have any questions about this event, how these tickets work, starting wineries, or anything else, please call our office during regular business hours toll-free at 877-536-2717.
This event has been generously co-sponsored by the Finger Lakes Cheese Trail, a non-profit member-based organization akin to the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, and consisting of over 13 different regional creameries.
You must start at this assigned starting winery to obtain your ticket.
This event differs from the Seneca Lake Wine Trail's traditional wine/food pairing weekend events in several different ways:
- Each participating winery will also host a regional creamery. This creamery will give a brief presentation about their farm from approximately 10:30am-11am, and will be serving samples of their cheese, paired with this winery's wines, for the entire duration of the event.
- There is no gift item
- Attendees will enjoy 3-4 wine samples paired with 3-4 samples of cheese. In some cases the creamery at a given winery may only have 1 type of superlative cheese to pair with different wines, and at other locations there may be 3-4 different types of cheeses professionally paired with 3-4 different types of wine
- This is a one day event only, with 10 participating wineries
- There are three different Preferred Pairings events scheduled in 2013. You are purchasing tickets for only one of these three events.
Tickets purchased are not refundable, exchangeable or changeable and the winery you chose to start at when purchasing your tickets cannot be altered. Seneca Lake Wine Trail events are never cancelled. Sometimes our events sell out, so you should purchase your tickets well in advance of the event itself. For those events that do not sell out, we stop selling tickets in advance by 1:00 p.m. EST the Wednesday before the event weekend. After that tickets might be available to purchase at a few designated wineries during the event, with an additional charge of $5 per ticket.
Large groups of 24 or more people are limited to 4 per day. They are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact Glenda Stermer-Simpson toll-free 877-536-2717 for availability and rules. There is a trail-wide special event policy for ticket holders attending these weekend events that as long as you travel in a group of 23 or less people, you will not need to make an appointment at the participating wineries.
You can learn more about all our events here: http://www.senecalakewine.com/events/trail-events.html
Cost: This is a regular single person ticket, enabling one person to enjoy 3-4 cheese and wine pairings at each participating winery, one time each. You must start at this winery. Preferred Pairings, Start at 3 Brothers 15.00

Max Monroe Worthington says:
April 17, 2009 at 1:48 pm (Edit)
This is all sort of new to me.
My father was Monroe Worthington, born is Stevens County Kansas in 1904. His middle name was Willets but for some reason he never used it. I believe that Henry Russell W. must have been my grandfather as well. They left Kansas around 1910 and eventually settled in Bluefield, WV.
I don't know if I even have any specific questions about this but I have always wondered about all the moves and the people and all the reasoning. Maybe the curiousity comes with the advanced age.
I did meet Josiah Wistar when I was very young, probably around 8 or ten. It could not have been much before he was killed. Also met two sons who I believe were named Fayette and Wilson. I believe his wife was named Bernice.
Is any of this correct? Its been a long time.
Editor Comment:
Is your birthday March 8th? If so, we are 2nd cousins.
On this Blog you will see a picture of my Grandfather, Henry Russell Worthington and his brother Josiah Wistar Worthington.
I may have a picture of your father as a very young child.
Thank you for contacting me. We need to stay in touch.
Thank you.

Dear Editor:
I would like to once again express my gratitude for our "Fighting to Remember" story written by Gennarose Pope in early August. Our Alzheimer's Walk is on Saturday, September 29th and since Gennarose's story was published we have tripled our donations. We are almost in the National Top Ten. It is mainly due to the way Gennarose brought our story to life with such awareness and insight. We are lucky to have such an outstanding and caring writer in our community. She has touched the lives of the suffering families and patients of this horrible disease.
I would again like to express my deepest appreciation.

NEW YORK ( BankingMyWay) -- Despite barrels of ink spilled over the imminent tsunami in apartment rentals, Americans still want to own their own homes, and they have a lot to say about the new-look U.S. housing market. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 65.5% of adult Americans own their own home, a number that really hasn't wavered over the past year. With housing prices historically soft and mortgage credit hard to get, the conventional wisdom has it that U.S. adults have had it with the housing market and are looking to rent rather than own their own abode. As Census data show, that conventional wisdom is wrong. In fact, not only do U.S. consumers continue to pursue the American Dream, just over a quarter of them -- 28% to be exact -- prefer to rent versus own their own home, according to a separate survey of 1,000 U.S. adults from Fannie Mae. In Fannie Mae's August National Housing Survey, U.S. adults are as optimistic, albeit cautiously so, over the housing market. Fannie Mae says lower household income and declining consumer sentiment could undermine further bullishness on the home ownership front. "Consumer attitudes toward the housing market remain modestly positive, despite signs of increased concern over the direction of the economy," explains Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. "While the latest results showed a pickup in the share of consumers expecting mortgage rates to rise, reflecting the uptrend of long-term interest rates since mid-July, that may soon change. Friday's disappointing jobs report underpins the gradual nature of this year's housing recovery and supports our view that the muted economic recovery is still subject to downside risk and that additional Fed easing will soon be forthcoming." How do Americans view the domestic housing market? Fannie Mae reveals five key takeaways in its survey:
- U.S. adults expect home prices to rise in 2013, but only by 1.6%. Even so, a slightly bullish outlook on home prices is a big departure for homeowners, who have been decidedly downcast over housing prices over the past few years.
- 18% of U.S. adults say it's a good time to sell their home, the highest level since Fannie Mae launched its annual housing survey in 2010.
- 40% of housing consumers expect mortgage interest rates to rise nest year by an average of 4%. That does not jibe current economic policy from the Federal Reserve, which has said repeatedly it aims to keep interest rates near zero until 2105.
- 73% of U.S. adults say it's a "good time" to buy a new home. Survey respondents in this category cite low home prices and low interest rates as primary drivers of new home purchases.
- 60% of Americans remain skeptical on the U.S. economy, saying it's headed in the "wrong direction." That, Fannie Mae says, is the third consecutive rise in that sentiment from consumers, although only 13% of Americans expect their financial situation to "worsen."

A group of Boulder residents is organizing a "silent" walk on the Pearl Street Mall on Sunday to honor the elk shot in the Mapleton Hill neighborhood on New Year's Day.
According to the "Justice for the Mapleton Elk" Facebook page, the walk will take place at noon Sunday between 11th and 15th streets.
Participants will be silent during the walk except for the playing of a recording of an elk bugle from their phones.
The elk killed Jan. 1 on Mapleton Hill by an on-duty Boulder police officer is now memorialized in song.
Singer-songwriter Jonathan Bennett, 58, wrote and recorded "Reason to Kill (Ballad of Big Boy)" to pay tribute to the elk and question the judgment of local law enforcement.
"I wanted to honor this noble creature's life," he said of the massive bull elk, which had been given names including Big Boy, Elmo and Bullwinkle. "But this isn't just about animal rights. This goes into the control and discipline of our police department."
Bennett lives more than a mile from the site of the shooting and never saw the elk, but he was compelled to attend Sunday's candlelight vigil, which attracted more than 200 people.
"It was very moving to me that all those people showed up," said Bennett, who began writing the song as soon as he got home from the vigil.
The shooting of the elk, which many Mapleton Hill residents considered a neighborhood guardian, has prompted community backlash, after Boulder police initially denied involvement and then revealed the elk was shot by an on-duty officer. Officials later confirmed that the off-duty officer who assisted in the disposal of the elk had called in sick the night of the shooting.
The officer who shot the elk did not report the incident or notify his supervisors he fired his weapon.
Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett has received nearly 15,000 e-mails, phone calls and letters about the case.
Garnett has met with Colorado Parks and Wildlife -- which is conducting the criminal investigation into the actions of Boulder police officers Sam Carter and Brent Curnow -- and said a decision on charges could be made next week.
"It's sort of mind-boggling that the perpetrators would act with such impunity and recklessness," Bennett said. "I really think we need to scrutinize law enforcement when they don't seem to be following the laws."
Bennett said "Reason to Kill" will appear on his debut album, which he plans to complete this summer. Though he wants people to enjoy his music, he would prefer that the focus be on his message.
"I hope every time someone listens to it, they remember why it was written," he said. "I want to keep the light shining on this issue."

Additional drug-related charges were filed against a New Philadelphia man arrested early last week on sexual abuse charges, according to a news release from the McDonough County Sheriff's Office.
Dennis M. Thomas, 25, was originally arrested on April 30 and charged with five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, solicitation to meet a child and prohibited sales and possession of alcohol.
On May 3, the release states, Thomas was charged with two counts of unlawful procurement of methamphetamine precursors.
The investigation is still ongoing, and Thomas is lodged in the McDonough County jail pending a court appearance.

By the numbers
Permits issued through Dec. 31 for flood recovery, restoration and repair work
Boulder: 641
Longmont: 372
Unincorporated Boulder County: 194
Sources: Cities of Boulder and Longmont, and Boulder County
The frightening images of houses wrenched off their foundations and collapsing into rivers are part of our history now, but some experts caution that another wave of less dramatic damage attributable to the September flood could be on the near horizon.
"I believe that we have a sort of second round of flood damage coming," said Andrew Kelsey, principal of Ascent Group in Boulder and past president of the Structural Engineers Association of Colorado.
"That's what I've been telling clients. I fully expect there to be additional issues once they begin to dry out."
Some experts say the concern is overblown — even an "urban myth" — but Kelsey is not alone in voicing worry.
"The groundwater issue has mitigated for the vast majority," said Balaji Rajagopalan, a professor in the University of Colorado's Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering.
"But it is very possible, or likely, there will be pockets where the groundwater could remain elevated for a period of time and as a result could exacerbate the structural issues, locally."
Because of the dramatically differing terrain in Boulder and Broomfield counties, the groundwater table is not the same in every area — and, therefore, does not rise or fall uniformly. In areas with proximity to streambeds, or at the base of hillsides, it is likely to still be higher than others.
And the interplay of the groundwater with varying types of soil would also result in differing dynamics beneath, and surrounding, a home's foundation.
"If the soil is sandy, it tends to respond quickly to changes in soil moisture," said Ross Corotis, another CU engineering professor.
"If it is mostly clay, then it takes a longer time for the water to come in and eventually go out," he said. "Someone might think the house doesn't have an issue and then two months later might find that the doors are not closing right, as the water is squeezed out of the clay. That can easily take months."
He emphasized that the soil beneath and surrounding a home's foundation can be transformed or influenced by a variety of environmental factors — not the least of which would be water. Parts of Boulder saw more than 17 inches of rainfall from Sept. 9 to Sept. 16, while creeks and tributaries running out of the foothills in many places overflowed their banks and plotted erratic new courses across the landscape.
In all, Boulder saw a record-breaking year in 2013 with 34.15 inches of moisture recorded. In addition to the record-shattering rain of September, April saw record snowfall of 47.6 inches.
"There might be soft spots in the soil, under the surface, that were changed by the high water table as the water washes through it," Corotis said. "It could weaken some soil relative to other parts, so you might see differential settlement due to the changed characteristics" of the soil.
'We're going to see changes'
The city of Boulder's planning and development services center has seen the number of permits issued for flood-related repairs recently drop substantially, according to public works spokesman Nick Grossman, from 124 in November to just 37 in December. The numbers in other jurisdictions also dropped way off in December.
A total of 641 flood recovery restoration and repair permits were issued by Boulder between the time of the flood and Dec. 31. Longmont issued 372, and for unincorporated Boulder County, the figure in that same period was 194.
"However," Grossman said, "there are still homeowners and some property owners who are obtaining city of Boulder permits to perform flood restoration and repair work."
He said while the flood is long since over, its ripple effects are not.
"One of the issues we are encountering is the elevated water table, and that's basically the depth below ground where the soil is saturated," Grossman said. "The groundwaters are higher than where they usually are, and they are expected to remain higher for a while.
"In terms of how that affects individual structures, some property owners may continue to experience water seeping into their basements and yards, and some buildings that have sump pumps may notice their sump pump is running more than usual."
Grossman said private property owners should work with experienced professionals to help prevent further damage or seepage, and work with their insurance companies "to see if they are covered for the damages that have occurred or are taking place."
Kathleen Tierney, director of the CU Natural Hazards Center, said such was the force of the September flood that it dramatically affected not only the landscape, but what she called the "risk-scape."
The transformation of the land, the deposits of debris in culverts and streambeds, the deposits of sediment in sewer systems and elsewhere, Tierney said, can have a cumulative effect going forward — including, potentially, continuing impacts on homeowners' properties.
"We're going to see changes. We haven't had a substantial precipitation event, or really much precipitation at all, since the floods," Tierney said. "And when we do, when we have snowmelt in the future and when we have heavy rain in the future, we're going to have some surprises, I would think."
Challenging an 'urban myth'
But there is not unanimity on this point. Tom Soell, president and senior structural principal at JVA Consulting Engineers in Boulder, believes the vast majority of damage done — and repairs that are needed — have long been in plain sight.
"I've heard a lot of folks speculating that there would be a lot of settling once the ground dries out, but I don't think the engineering community feels a lot of concern over the issue," Soell said.
He disputed whether the flood's lingering effects would be any more significant than what might occur as a result of the saturation typically associated with periodic heavy spring snowstorms.
In fact, Soell said, "Where we really saw an issue that was not predictable was back around the drought of 2000 or so, where soil dried to far greater depths than we'd ever seen. The amount of drying that went on was to such a depth that we started seeing some of these old brick buildings from the 1880s settling or collapsing a bit.
"Suddenly, there was a new pattern of distress that we saw, and it was because of the depth of drying."
Despite the heavy ground saturation of September, Soell said, "We do not expect to see a lot more (structural fallout) going on. That is not what we are hearing from soil engineers and the geo-technical community. I don't think there is a lot of concern with that.
"There's this urban myth that's growing, that all these things are happening."
Soell recently inspected an elevator shaft at a Boulder condominium complex where concerns had been raised that a bent rail in the shaft might be attributable to flood-damage issues. Instead, he determined that it was a result of an "interesting" installation of the elevator 10 years ago.
The debate in some circles about late-emerging flood damage has been extensive enough that there are also those who have switched positions on the question.
Geologist Ed Glassgow, owner of the Scott, Cox Associates civil engineering firm in Boulder, had initially been pessimistic about the dangers of damage continuing to surface on a delayed basis. His fears, he said, had stemmed from earlier concerns that September's havoc might be compounded by additional significant moisture.
But now, Glassgow said, "We have had such a dry fall and winter, I really think we are still in a scenario where everything is going to depend on how wet the late winter and early spring turn out to be. I'm more optimistic that we are not going to have more problems than I was two months ago."
