Hermosillo (Spanish pronunciation: [eɾmoˈsiʎo] ( listen)), formerly called Pitic (as Santísima Trinidad del Pitic and Presidio del Pitic) is a city located centrally in the northwestern Mexican state of Sonora. It is the capital and largest city as well as the main economic center for the state and region.[2] It contains almost all of the state's manufacturing and has thirty percent of its population.[3] The major manufacturing sector is automobiles, which was begun in the 1980s, when Ford built the Hermosillo Stamping & Assembly Plant.[4]
Evidence of the area's first inhabitants dates back 3,000 years, much of which are from a site called the San Dieguito Complex, located in the El Pinacate Zone. Evidence of agriculture dates back 2,500 years.[4] In the pre-Hispanic era, this area was inhabited by the Seri, Tepoca, and Pima peoples.[2][4]
The first encounter between the Spanish and natives occurred in the middle of the 16th century, when explorers were sent here in search of nonexistent gold. The first missionaries arrived in the state of Sonora around 1614, and Eusebio Francisco Kino arrived in 1687, founding a mission in nearby Cucurpe. What is now the states of Sonora and Sinaloa was loosely organized as the provinces of Sonora, Ostimura and Sinaloa.[4]
In 1700, three small Spanish villages were founded in what is now the outskirts of Hermosillo, Nuestra Señora del Pópulo, Nuestra Señora de Los Angeles and la Santísima Trinidad del Pitic. The native peoples here soon became hostile to the Spanish and managed to drive them out several times in the early 18th century. In 1716, the Spanish offered irrigated lands for farmers to natives who agreed to abide by Spanish law. Around 1726, a fort named the Presidio of Pitic was constructed to stop the domination of this area by the natives, especially the Seri. However, the situation did not settle soon so that the first church was not built until 1787 and the first formal parish was not established until 1822.[2][4]
During the Mexican War of Independence, Sonora and the town of Pitic stayed loyal to the Spanish Crown. In fact, a general from this area, Alejo García Conde, defeated insurgent José María González Hermosillo, who had been sent here by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.[4] In 1825, the village of Pitic was made the seat of the department of the same name. In 1828, the settlement changed its name to Hermosillo to honor José María González de Hermosillo.[2] A battle between imperial and republican forces occurred here in 1866 during the French Intervention in Mexico. In 1879, the capital of the state of Sonora was moved from Arizpe to Hermosillo. In 1881 the railroad linking Hermosillo with Guaymas and Nogales was finished, allowing for economic expansion in the area by bringing in mining equipment and modern agricultural equipment. Since then, the city has been an economic center for northwest Mexico.[2] During the Mexican Revolution, forces loyal to Pancho Villa were repulsed by General Manuel M. Diéguez.[2] After the assassination of Francisco I. Madero in 1913, Venustiano Carranza, then governor of Coahuila, sought refuge in Hermosillo. Here Carranza began the Constitutionalist Movement, and because of this, Hermosillo has the nickname of the "revolutionary capital of the country."[4]
From the late 19th century and through the first two decades of the 20th, Chinese immigrants came into Sonora state. One of the places in which a significant number settled was the city of Hermosillo. Some of these immigrants had capital and used it to establish businesses, especially shoe manufacturing and clothing. Some of the most successful Chinese-owned businesses in Sonora were based in Hermosillo and sold their merchandise to other parts of the country.[5] However, by the 1920s anti-Chinese sentiment had become strong in Sonora state, with many Chinese leaving for Mexico City or the United States.[6]
In the 1980s, Ford built a plant here, which had a great impact on the city's and state's economy.[4]
Hermosillo is the site of a tragic fire at the ABC child care center on June 5, 2009. According to the Procuraduría General de Justicia en el Estado (State Attorney General Office) of Sonora, 49 deaths were attributed to the fire at the ABC child care center.[7] The fire apparently started at a car and tire depot, then spread to the child care center. Most of the children died of asphyxiation. There were about 100 children inside the building and firefighters had to knock holes in the walls to rescue the children, who ranged in age from six months to five years.[8]
As the municipal seat, the city of Hermosillo is the local government of over 3,800 other localities,[9] with a combined territory of 14,880.2 square kilometres (5,745.3 sq mi).[2] The most important communities outside the city include Miguel Alemán, San Pedro el Saucito, Bahía Kino, Kino Nuevo, La Victoria and La Manga.
The two most important rivers are the Sonora and the San Miguel. Both of these are used for irrigation purposes with the Abelardo L. Rodriguez Dam located on the San Miguel River.[2] The population increase of the municipality, currently at 2.5% annually, puts pressure on the infrastructure of the city, especially its water supply.[3] Decades of overpumping of ground water has led to the aquifer levels being lower than sea levels, and sea water creeping in as an "artificial recharge."[10]

Climate chart (explanation) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Under the Köppen climate classification, Hermosillo features a hot desert climate (BWh). Temperatures can range from as low as freezing in January and February to 48 °C or 118.4 °F in July and August. Rain falls mostly between July and September, with annual precipitation between 75 and 300 millimetres (3.0 and 11.8 in). Most of the vegetation here consists of mesquite trees as well as trees such as the desert ironwood, palo verde and the huisache. Desert animals such as the desert tortoise, rattlesnakes, bighorn sheep and lynx are the most notable species.[2] Populations of feral red-masked parakeets and monk parakeets are a local sightseeing attraction here.
Hermosillo's all-time weather record for high temperature is 49.5 °C or 121.1 °F, which was achieved in June 2014.[11] In recent years, the lowest temperature was −4 °C (24.8 °F), in December.

According with the results of INEGI,[9] Hermosillo is Mexico's 16th biggest city, with 715,061.
The recent city population spur is due to its recent strong industrialization, especially in the automotive industry and its providers.
Most of the municipality's population lives in the city proper, with most jobs located in the manufacturing and commerce sectors here. About 250,000 hectares are under cultivation in the city's outskirts, most of which is near the coast. Crops include wheat, grapes, flowers, chickpeas, alfalfa and walnuts. Livestock has been traditionally important here, especially beef cattle. Pigs, sheep, goats, horses, domestic fowl and bees are also raised here as well. Fishing is practiced along the coast with shrimp being the most important catch.[2]
Industry and manufacturing has been the most dynamic sector of the economy. Much of this began in the 1980s with the establishment of the automobile industry, specifically the Hermosillo Stamping & Assembly plant owned and operated by Ford Motor Company. Electronics and IT are the largest employers by both revenue and number of employees. Today, there are twenty-six major manufacturers, which generate about 68,300 jobs, employing about thirty percent of the population.
Other than cars, products manufactured here include televisions, computers, food processing, textiles, wood products, printing, cellular phones, chemicals, petroleum products and plastics. Lanix electronics has a major research and design facility and its main manufacturing plant in Hermosillo. The city and its municipality have twelve industrial parks, which house over one hundred smaller manufacturing enterprises.[2] There has been slowing of this sector especially the automobile industry because of the global economic downturn that began in 2008.[3]
Commerce employs more than half of the population. While locally owned business still predominate this sector, international brands such as Costco, Wal Mart, Sam's Club, The Home Depot, Cinemark, McDonald's, BlockBuster Video, Domino's Pizza, Dairy Queen, IHOP, Subway, Carl's Junior and others figure prominently at Northeastern Hermosillo and Southern Hermosillo. Tourism is mostly limited to the coastal communities of Bahia de Kino, Kino Nuevo and Punta Chueca, where there are cave paintings and a recreational park named La Sauceda.[2] In 2009, Standard & Poor's rated the municipality of Hermosillo as (mxA/Estable/-) based on its administrative practices, financial flexibility and limited financial risks. Financial management of the municipality has been prudent, with adequate documentation of practices. Debt levels have also been prudent at about 33% of gross income, which might decline in 2010. However, the municipality has limited liquid capital.[3]
The city has a professional baseball team called Naranjeros de Hermosillo (Orange Growers) that plays in the Estadio Sonora. Baseball has always been popular in this city since the late 19th century. The club had its beginnings in the 1950s, when the Liga Invernal de Sonora (Sonora Winter League) was founded as a complement to the already existing Liga de la Costa del Pacifico (Pacific Coast League). The Naranjeros were officially organized in 1958. Since then, the team has won 16 championships in the Pacific Coast League and two championships in the Caribbean Series.[13]
Hermosillo hosted the 2013 Caribbean Series in February.
Since 2013, the city has been home to the Cimarrones de Sonora football club. Home matches are played at Estadio Héroe de Nacozari.
The city is also home to the Soles de Sonora of Major Arena Soccer League.
Parks and recreation[edit]
As the city is located on a plain in the Sonoran Desert, surrounded by flat areas with grass, behind which are greener hills that are then framed by serrated peaks in the background,[14] the city is a common stopover for North Americans traveling by car toward the coast, and is the only city in Mexico that purifies all drinking water before it goes to homes.[14] The city is the major economic center for the state, with about thirty percent of the state's population living in the city.[3]
The center of the city is Plaza Zaragoza, built in 1865, in which there is a Moorish-style kiosk, which was brought from Florence, Italy in the early 20th century.[14][15] The plaza also has a flower garden and statues of General Ignacio Pesqueira and General García Morales.[2]
The plaza is framed by the State Government Palace and the Cathedral.[14] The Palacio de Gobierno, Spanish for "Government Palace," was constructed in 1881, using stone from the nearby Cerro de la Campana mountain, has a white Neoclassical façade, with a central body that extends slightly more in front than the rest. This central body is flanked by Ionic columns and is topped by a semicircular pediment and a clock tower. The side wings have an aligned series of windows on the first level and balconies on the second, with the corners having thick pilasters. The interior has one patio with a main staircase, decorated with murals done between 1982 and 1984 by Teresa Moran, Enrique Estrada and Héctor Martínez Arteche, depicting scenes from Sonora's history. The building was officially inaugurated in 1906 and reflects elements of French style, which was popular at the time.[15][16]
The cathedral, named the Catedral de la Asunción, is located next to Plaza Zaragoza. It was begun in the 18th century but was not finished until the beginning of the 20th.[15] However, the first chapels associated with the cathedral were begun in the 18th century.[17] Construction of the cathedral began in 1861 and is a mix of predominantly Neoclassical architecture with Neogothic decorative elements. The main entrance is flanked by paired columns on pedestals and the smaller side doors are topped with semicircular pediments. Above the main doors are two ogival or pointed windows, over which is a crest with a balustrade. The church's towers have three levels with a dome-like top and are decorated with crosses from Caravaca de la Cruz. The interior of the church is of very austere Neoclassical design.[18]
The Regional Museum was opened in 1960 with only one small hall, which exhibited archeological finds from the region. Today, there are two large halls, one dedicated to anthropology and the other to history. The anthropology hall displays archeological finds such as tools, utensils, textiles, stone objects and more from both the pre-Hispanic and colonial periods. The second focuses on the colonial period and contains items such as documents, maps, tools, coins and more.[19]
The Museo de Sonora (Museum of Sonora) is housed in a building that originally functioned as a prison. It was completed in 1907 and built by the mostly indigenous prisoners themselves. The prison closed in 1979. In the 1980s, the building was reconditioned, reopening as the current museum in 1985. This museum has eighteen rooms covering various aspects of the state including its paleontology, history, archeology and ethnography. It has also conserved some of the cells of the original prison. Some of its more important items in the collection include a serpent's head from the Teotihuacan period, a collection of coins from the 16th century and various antique weapons.[17]
The Museo de Culturas Populares e Indígenas de Sonora (Museum of Popular and Indigenous Cultures of Sonora) was the former residence of Dr. Alberto Hoeffer. It was constructed in 1904 and restored in 1997, conserving its original French-inspired style. Today, it houses a museum mostly dedicated to the indigenous cultures of the state, including crafts, clothing, customs and ways of life.[17]
The Plaza Hidalgo area of the city was a very fashionable area during the first half of the 20th century when a number of the wealthy and influential of the city built homes here. Today, many of these constructions now house institutions such as the Instituto Sonorense de Cultura, the Colegio de Sonora, Radio Sonora, the Colegio Library and the Colegio de Notarios. Each weekend, the plaza becomes a cultural center, hosting various activities and events such as concerts, exhibitions, theatrical works and more.[17]
The Cerro de la Campana mountain is one of the symbols of Hermosillo. Its summit is 350 metres (1,150 ft) above the valley floor and contains a lookout called El Caracol, which was inaugurated in 1909. There are two theories as to the origin of the mountain's name. One states that it is from a peculiar metallic sound that is made when the mountain's rocks fall against each other. The other is based on the bell-like shape of the elevation.[17]
Just outside the city proper on the highway to Guaymas is the Centro Ecológico de Sonora (Ecological Center of Sonora). The Center has more than 300 species of plants and 200 species of animals from both Sonora and other parts of the world. All of the animals live in recreated natural habitats.[15] The Sonoran collection is part of one of CES's main functions, which is to preserve the flora and fauna of the state.[2] The collection contains representations of animals and plants from the four main habitats of the state: mountains, grassland, desert and sea. Some of the species are in danger of extinction such as the bighorn sheep, the white-tailed deer as well as a number of bird and reptile species.[20]
The Dr. Alfonso Ortiz Tirado Festival has been an annual event since 1985 and is the most important cultural event in northwest Mexico. It takes place in Hermosillo and a number of other municipalities in the state. Representatives from various Mexican states and countries such as Spain, the United States, Brazil, Germany and others send artists to perform and exhibit their work. The event is organized by the Sonoran state government and the Instituto Sonorense de Cultura.[21]
In the Coloso neighborhood of Hermosillo, and other locations in Sonora, the Yaqui people are known for their celebrations of Holy Week, which mix Catholic and indigenous religious practices.[2][22] In Hermosillo, the main brotherhood that sponsors this event is called the Fariseos. Rites performed during this week are intended to combat evil and sickness, calling upon both saints and "temastians" or medicine men to use magic to expel evil spirits. During this time participants dress in traditional Yaqui clothing and perform native dances such as El Coyote (The Coyote), Matachines, Los Pascolas and especially the Danza del Venado (Deer Dance), animal sacred to the Yaqui as a symbol of good.[22]
Two other major festivals there include the Fiesta de la Vendimia (Grape Harvest Festival) in July and the Feria Exposición Ganadera e Industrial (Livestock and Industry Exposition and Fair) in May.[2]

Nearby attractions[edit]
Bahia de Kino or Kino Bay is on the coast of the municipality and named after Father Eusebio Kino. The waters of the bay have little wave action or undertow and are warm year-round. Activities practiced here include swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing a variety of species, boating and sailing. In summer it is possible to catch marlin, sailfish, dorado (mahi-mahi) and tuna. In front of the shoreline is Isla Tiburón, which is a declared ecological zone and is inhabited by wild sheep and deer. Kino Bay is the home of the Seri Museum, which was founded to preserve the Seri language and culture.[15] State and federal officials are looking to develop Kino Bay into a major tourist resort, called a Zona turística prioritaria (Priority Tourism Zone). This would include government investment and the attraction of private investment through tax breaks.[37]
La Pintada is an archaeological zone located 60 kilometres (37 miles) south of the city and was a refuge area for the Seri and Pima Indians.[2][15] The site is important because of its caves, which were used as dwellings, burial spaces and religious centers.[15] The caves shelter paintings that contain numerous animals such as deer, birds and lizards as well as human figures. The human figures are stylized and some appear to be adorned with skins and/or horns, other are throwing spears and some appear to be dancing, wearing body paint. In addition there are geometric figures such as squares, triangles, circles, straight and wavy lines, all of which combine in one way or another to form complicated designs. In some areas of the caves, there is evidence of paintings on top of paintings, testifying to the length of time the area was inhabited. The paintings have been attributed to the Comca'ac or Seri culture.[38]
San Carlos is a beachfront subdivision within the port city of Guaymas, in the northern state of Sonora in Mexico. It is noted for the exceptional clarity and warmth of the ocean water in its shallow bays. It lies on the body of water known as the Gulf of California. Given the size of the city, with nearly 7,000 inhabitants, there is a remarkable number of RV parks, resorts and stores. There is also a very large and active diving community. There are also other outdoors activities like climbing, sailing, horseback riding, aquatic sports, and others.

CDC offers strategies for restaurants to reduce sodium in menu items
1/31/2014, 6 a.m.
Health departments and restaurants that want to work together to offer healthier choices for consumers to lower their sodium intake can find strategies in the CDC report "From Menu to Mouth: Opportunities for Sodium Reduction in Restaurants" in the Jan. 23 issue of its journal, Preventing Chronic Disease.
Too much sodium can cause high blood pressure, one of the leading causes of heart disease and stroke.
Americans eat out at fast-food or dine-in restaurants four or five times a week.
On average, foods from fast-food restaurants contain 1,848 milligrams of sodium per 1,000 calories, and foods from dine-in restaurants contain 2,090 mg of sodium per 1,000 calories.
The U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg.
Dr. Tom Frieden, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director, says reducing sodium in restaurant foods is an opportunity for choice.
"When restaurants rethink how they prepare food and the ingredients they choose to use, healthier options become routine for customers," he said. "The bottom line is that it's both possible and lifesaving to reduce sodium, and this can be done by reducing, replacing and reformulating."
The report outlines several ways health departments and restaurants have worked together to offer lower-sodium choices. Among them:
n Health department dietitians help restaurants analyze the sodium content of their foods and recommend lower-sodium ingredients.
n Restaurants clearly post nutrition information, including sodium content, at the order counter and on menus or offer lower-sodium items at lower cost.
n Health departments and restaurants explain to food service staff why lower sodium foods are healthier and how to prepare them.
"From Menu to Mouth" also features examples of sodium reduction successes.
In Philadelphia, the health department worked with 206 restaurants to create the "Philadelphia Healthy Chinese Take-out Initiative." After evaluating menus for sodium content, participating restaurants began choosing lower sodium ingredients and creating lower sodium recipes. After nine months, analyses of two popular dishes offered by 20 of the restaurants showed sodium was reduced by 20 percent.
Frieden said the story in Philadelphia shows what can be done.
"It's not about giving up the food you love, but providing lower sodium options that taste great," he said.
To learn more about sodium and how it affects health, visit www.cdc.gov/salt.
Reducing sodium is one way that Million Hearts, a national public-private initiative to prevent a million heart attacks and strokes by 2017, is working with communities to keep people healthier and less likely to need health care. For more information, visit www.millionhearts.hhs.gov.

Sigmund M. Urbanski 1915 - 2011 CHICOPEE Sigmund M. "Siggy" Urbanski, 96, of Chicopee, died on Thursday, September 1, 2011 at home. He has been retired from the Engineering Department of American Bosch/United Technologies for thirty years. His previous jobs were at Gilbert and Barker and at Pratt and Whitney. Sigmund was born on March 13, 1915 in Chicopee and was a life-long resident. He was the son of the late John and Stella (Hubert) Urbanski. Sigmund was a communicant of the Basilica of St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr. Sigmund enjoyed fixing things, not just as a practical thing to do, but as a personal challenge to understand how things worked and what he could do to correct the problem. Among his many hobbies, he enjoyed fishing, bowling and furniture making. Over his life time he became a commendable "jack-of-all-trades" and a master of many. Sigmund was a thoughtful and practical man. He provided his family with everything they needed. In the process, he taught his children and grandchildren valuable life lessons. He will be dearly missed. His wife, Josephine M. (Sypek) Urbanski, to whom he was married for fifty-seven years, preceded him in death on March 7, 2004. Sigmund is survived by a daughter, Cynthia T. Grant of Clinton, CT; two sons, Richard J. Urbanski and his wife, Coleen of Port Tobacco, MD and William P Urbanski and his wife, Lynn of Alexandria, VA; four grandchildren, Andrew Grant and his wife, Angela, Michael, Rachel and Rebecca Urbanski and two great grandchildren, Chase Grant and Maxwell Moreis. Sigmund's funeral will be held on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 from the Cierpial Memorial Funeral Home on 69 East St., in Chicopee Falls at 9 am, followed by a Liturgy of Christian Burial in the Basilica of St. Stanislaus, 566 Front St. in Chicopee at 10 am. His burial will follow in St. Stanislaus Cemetery, 800 Montgomery St. in Chicopee. Calling hours will be on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 from 5 to 7 pm. Cierpial Memorial Funeral Homes 413 598-8573

Promega has developed polyclonal antibodies (pAb) to three members of the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) superfamily of enzymes. These enzymes, which play important roles in signal transduction in eukaryotic cells, are MAPK, p38 and JNK. These kinases have interconnected roles in a cascade of signal transduction reactions. The Anti-ACTIVE® pAbs are specific for the dually phosphorylated active forms of MAPK, p38 and JNK and provide tools to measure more accurately activation of these enzymes.

My wife and her friends have a made-up language that is still indecipherable to me; it involves spelling out words, ending each consonant with "op" and speaking out the vowels. "Boing Boing" would sound something like this: "Bop, oh, eye, nop, gop, bop, oh, eye, nop, gop." But they can speak it *very* fast. I can try to get a sound sample of her speaking it if you want.
I heard my 14-year-old daughter and her friends talking to each other using a word-changing language game, like pig latin, but much harder for me to understand. I asked my daughter's friend to say something and I recorded it.
She said it was called Finglish but a Google search makes me think she is either mistaken or tricking me. Can you tell me what it's called and what the rules are? I think it involves adding a lot of F's in between syllables.

About This Game
- Summary
- Game Editions
Fuel Overdose reinvents the action-racing experience with innovative game features and a tactical approach of the genre. During the first decades of the 21st century, what was called global warming caused the appearance of a new pandemic disease. Now, the only legal way to access a needed vaccine is the Race Of Chaos, where racers compete until death of victory.
Behind the first layer of violence lays as in every battle field a great dose of strategy. Fuel Overdose is a new kind of merciless races where the weak of heart does not last long. Carefully select your pilot, your vehicle, manage your budget, invest in upgrades or in extra weapon stock or maybe in a wild card as you bet on race dangers. Assess the race track and your competition to make the choices that will prove critical during the race and claim the title. A good racer cannot only rely on this driving but must as well become an unforgiving fighting machine. Not all racers will cross the finish line and an enemy gone is a step closer to victory. The vast array of weapons at the racers disposal creates a race where no one is ever safe and the situation can drastically change in a glimpse.

Lamotte Peak Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
ZeeJay | Lamotte Date Climbed: Aug 26, 2016 | |
8/26/2016 Started up the coloir that starts at N40.77380 W110.76744. The advantage of this coloir is that there is no bushwhacking to get there. The disadvantage is that there is an unpleasant amount of water running in it and two series of small waterfalls. I bypassed the first set of waterfalls on the left and the second on the right. I found the terrain so much more pleasant on the second bypass that I just stayed over there and then went pretty much straight up to the top. 8/21/2016 I did my usual loop, but it's been awhile and I think a lot more trees have come down, so I'm not sure I'll do it this way again. 8/4/2009, 7/12/2009, 6/27/2009, 4/30/2009 Started at the winter parking area at mile 48.6 on the MLH. Unfortunately the gate was still closed even though the road was bare as far as I could see. Walked the road until the 343/120 turnoff. That road was also bare. Turned off on 120 (snowy) which I followed until its end. Traversed over to the Boundary Creek drainage which I followed until the base of 10897. Up to this point I was able to float on top of the snow even without snowshoes but once I started climbing 10897 I had to put them on. From the top of 10897 I followed the north ridge of Lamotte all the way to the summit. It was very windy on the summit ridge, but it was a pretty warm day. Still, I had to keep the big bulky mittens on and it was very time consuming to take pictures. There are fantastic views in all directions once on the ridge. The whole thing was 23.5 miles RT. I started at 6, got to the summit at 1:40 and was back at the car at 8:40. I was expecting miserably soft snow on the return, but it never got too bad. For sure it was soft and mushy, but I still managed to stay on top with the snowshoes, thanks to the good refreeze the night before. The bottom part took a lot longer on the way down than on the way up because of the soft snow. 10/2/2008 West couloir 9/4/2008 With Moogie737 and Brent. Up and down the west couloir. 8/15/2008 Beautiful hike. Great views but unfortunately I forgot my camera. Started at the Christmas Meadows TH and stayed on the trail until due west of the summit. Left the trail at about N40 46.370 W110 46.316 Headed for the couloir located at N40 46.191 W110 45.861 For the most part, the rock in this couloir is nice and stable in convenient step sized chunks. However, it gets less so as you near the top and I was eventually pretty much on all 4's, but still, it's not so bad. The 4.25 miles/1300' vertical on the trail took 1:50 and the 1.15 miles/2600' vertical off-trail took 1:40. On the way back, I took the ridge N until shortly before 11783 and then headed NW, then N, then W to get back to the trail about .6 miles from the TH. The whole thing took 6.5 hours and was about 10.25 miles. 7/24/2007 With Dave A. Went up as above, but on the way down we followed the ridge all the way to Scow Lake and then did some little peaks NW of Scow, 10381, 10376, and 10356 before bushwhacking down to the road. | ||

Thanks to Zeejay for taking me and Brent along. I've seen a lot of steep things, but after we left the trail at 10,100' the length of the long boulder-drenched slog was unparalleled. Still, as Zeejay put it, you can keep moving, even if the pace is slow. Fabulous views from the summit - too bad the very cold wind prevented us from enjoying them longer than a few milliseconds! :) | ||

From Christmas Meadows TH, ascended near the drainage south of Scow Lake. Once I made the top of the northwest ridge at 10650 ft, it was easy and fast going all the way to the summit. Saw a couple of bucks, a large grouse, and a bobcat along the way. Descended quickly down the steep west slope due to an approaching t-storm. Beautiful hike/climb, most of it above treeline! | ||

FFA students attending Washington Leadership Conference
The National FFA [Future Farmers of America] Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 540,379 student members in grades seven through 12 who belong to one of 7,489 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
This summer, for seven weeks, more than 2,200 students will attend our Washington Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. This seven-week event helps students develop leadership skills, identify personal strengths, develop awareness of societal differences and human needs and strategize how they can help others through community service. Each student develops a community-service initiative for their local community, with the intention of students returning home and implementing their plans.
Students come to the conference wanting to learn how to make a difference in the world. They leave knowing they can — and will. That's exactly what Sierra Coulthard did last year.
After last year's event, the Wisconsin high school FFA member returned home and immediately connected with Nashville-based Soles4Souls, which since 2005 has secured more than 17 million new and gently-used shoes for people throughout the world. The charity shipped her a supply of shoe boxes that she placed throughout her home town of Neillsville for donations. Nearly 1,000 pairs of shoes were given to the "Sierra's Shoes" drive.
And last month, Coulthard had the opportunity to personally deliver shoes to deserving children in Haiti.
I believe students are generally aware of global problems like hunger and poverty, but many are sheltered and disconnected from what's happening in the world. During their time at our conference, FFA members experience real-world problems and take critical steps toward personal growth and developing leadership skills they'll need to make a difference in people's lives, starting in their own communities.
The conclusion of each weekly session of the Washington Leadership Conference is a Day of Service, where students work together on a real, hands-on community service project. Last year, through each week's Day of Service, students contributed a total of $85,283 worth of volunteer labor. Students packed, sorted and distributed more than 29.5 tons of produce and shipped more than 100,000 meals overseas. This year, FFA members will volunteer more than 9,500 hours to pack and ship thousands of meals to Nicaragua to help the Third World country battle hunger.
Today's FFA is thriving and deeply committed, through opportunities like the Washington Leadership Conference, to developing students' potential and become leaders in our country's No. 1 industry — agriculture.

Police in Saskatchewan and Alberta say the joint investigation into the White Boy Posse is far from over.
Three people associated with that gang are charged in the murder of Saskatoon mother Lorry Santos, who was gunned down in her home in September.
Police told a news conference on Tuesday that gang members hit the wrong house – and Santos was an innocent victim.
They say it appears the white boy posse was trying to break into the drug trade in Saskatoon.
"What we have been seeing is a migration of groups from outside the province into Saskatoon," said Det. Sgt. Tyson Lavallee of the Saskatoon Police Service. "That obviously causes concern for us."
Investigators say they will continue to watch the crime group, and more arrests are possible.
Police have charged Kyle Darren Halbauer and Randy James O'Hagan, both 22, with first degree murder in the death of Santos. Both are from Lloydminster. 29-year old Joshua Petrin of Edmonton is also charged in Santos death.
Halbauer and O'Hagan are also charged in the murder of Bryan Gower in Kitscoty in Alberta. O'Hagan and a fourth man, Nikolas Nowytzsyj is also charged in the murder and beheading of Robert Roth, who was murdered in Ranfurly, Alberta.

In the future, could spoiler content be posted to it's own thread? Using the recent 5.4 thread as an example, it seems you can't discuss gameplay without being subjected to spoilers in the comments section. I realize there are post commands in place for this kind of thing but trying to get a 1000 members to use them is a just a touch more difficult. Especially when having spoiler content listed in the news post can understandably be seen as an 'endorsement' of spoiler comments.

Students from a York Technical College business class got hands on for a good cause Friday, March 18, by volunteering to help a local homeless shelter.
Armed with nail guns, tape measures and a level, the students started their service learning project for Lancaster's Family Promise with a little carpentry work.
By the time the project's over, the five students from the school's Executive Development class hope to not only earn a good grade and learn crucial leadership skills, but help a worthy cause in the process.
There was a story about the unemployment rate in Lancaster County dropping from 15.6 percent in December 2010 to 14.6 percent in January in the March 20 edition of The Lancaster News. Statistically, that appears to be good news – that our county's jobless rate dropped 1 percent. But those statistics mean nothing to those who've lost their jobs, exhausted their unemployment benefits and drained their 401k and bank accounts.
I was recently honored by the S.C. State Library for my work in creating the state's transparency website. It was part of an awards ceremony recognizing individuals and government agencies that advance the cause of open government. The ceremony was held on March 16, which was quite fitting. For one thing, March 16 is the birthday of James Madison, one of our nation's earliest advocates of government transparency.
Now let's be honest. Age has its embarrassing moments.
Just the other day, I ran into a long-lost friend.
He walked up, shook my hand and said he was glad to see me. Shucks, we had not crossed paths since the 1950s.
We're about the same age and I was sure glad to see him, though our chance encounter was somewhat embarrassing.
For the life of me, I couldn't recall his name and I am so ashamed.
Age: 42
Address: Taxahaw Road
Family: A son, Wayne Blakeney Jr., 18, and a daughter, Shanequal Blakeney, 19
Pets: A dog, Spot
Job: Lancaster County Maintenance
Church: Rose Hill Baptist Church
Hobbies: Fishing and playing pool
Favorite book: The Bible
Favorite movie: Any comedy
When it comes to school spotlights, it's often the academic whiz-kids at the front of the class who get the accolades, the outstanding athletes who gets the press, the kids at the back of the class who get the administrative attention.
But what about all the other students, the A,B and C students in the so-called "middle rows?"
The S.C. Department of Education upgraded Indian Land High School's report card after officials discovered inaccuracies in their ratings.
The change, which also affected 14 other state high schools and four school districts, raised ILHS's "absolute rating" from "good" to "excellent."
Absolute ratings are a measure of overall student performance on standardized tests.
Elected officials painted a bleak picture of the economy and other aspects of government for South Carolina and the nation during a special breakfast Friday morning in Lancaster.
State Sen. Vincent Sheheen, state Rep. Deborah Long, U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney and S.C. Chamber of Commerce President Otis Rawl were the guest speakers at the 2011 Legislative Breakfast, hosted by the Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce.
The event was held at the Fairway Room at the Lancaster Golf Course.
Federal problems
Sammie Marshall has seen a lot during his years in the Elgin community, but there's one thing he wishes he'd never see again – crime.
That's why he and his wife, Fran, regularly attend meetings for the Elgin Crime Watch, held at St. Luke Methodist Church, gathering with local residents to share news and safety tips.
But this week the Marshalls had another reason to gather, joining with at least 25 other neighbors and friends on Monday to hear a special presentation from Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile.
Staff Reports
The Buford Yellow Jackets, 4-2, improved to 3-1 in Region IV-AA play with a 7-2 road win over Cheraw on Friday night.
BHS right-hander Colt Ellis went the distance, allowing two runs, five hits and three walks. He struck out five.
Jacob Jamison paced the BHS offense with two hits, three runs batted in, two runs scored and a stolen base.
Ellis, Kholby Pate and Ricky Lewis each had a hit and drove in a run. Kendall Knight had a hit and scored two runs. Brett Estridge added a hit.

The Big Bang Theory S4E3 review
Sheldon seeks feline society, but it has nothing NOTHING to do with his split with Amy...
"The Zazzy Substitution"
The fart gags have gone this week, but then so has the hilarious nerd misuse of technology as we dip back into the season-theme of the humanisation of Sheldon Cooper.
As Howard succinctly points out when professional bickering cause Sheldon and hyper-nerd biology-researcher girlfriend ('She's not my girlfriend') Amy to end their relationship: "Women - can't live without them, can't refute their professional hypotheses'.
Sheldon's native state is Denial and highly elliptical handling of emotional crises, so he fails to see any connection between the loss of his...whatever the hell she is to the fact that he almost immediately begins filling the apartment with cats, all named after members of the Manhattan project. Sheldon's inner child is clearly locked away in a stoutly-sealed cupboard, but there's a limit to what it will put up with.
Well, having finally established with reasonable certainty that Sheldon bats for the home team (if he bats at all), we now know that in that clinical fact-factory he calls a heart, there is something beyond rationality and OCD-driven cleanliness.
The day is saved by Sheldon's fundamentalist-Christian mom, played with her usual adroitness by Laurie Metcalf, called to the site of the substitute-cat plague by a desperate Leonard. Even the cheapest psychological mind-games from mom are enough to reunite our estranged...err, again, whatever the hell they are, and pretty soon our favourite heart-locked professor is having an unorthodox cat-sale where the buyers get paid to spirit away the moggy invasion.
We can expect another 10-12 eps solely concentrating on this season-arc. Sometimes I wish BBT would go a little more Seinfeld, because the episodes where no-one learns anything are by far the funniest, and this particular set-up of psychologically-dammed characters gives so much scope for comedy when the show moves away from its season theme. The first two episodes of this season were in that class, and they were real winners. The main fear that I have is that Sheldon may end up dealing with the ups and downs of love in the same conventional way characters in most sit-coms do, even if the expression is unorthodox.
Providing the real comedy in Zazzy Substitution were Metcalf and Raj, who, with a couple of beers inside him, is not only able to speak in front of Penny but take her slovenly apartment down several pegs. If Raj isn't going to get his own season story later, he's still got a lot of potential for more than the off-the-cuff nerdisms and autistic incidents which hallmark his contribution to BBT.

Why be a PA?
PAs provide a special link between the medical profession and the people they serve. They offer professionalism with a personal touch. As a member of a health care team, PAs bring their unique expertise as caring professionals to the medical field. Combining clinical proficiency with compassion, they serve the needs of individuals from all walks of life.
What is a PA?
A PA is a licensed health care professional who practices medicine with the supervision of a physician. A PA provides a broad range of health care services that were traditionally performed by a doctor, and often spends extra time counseling patients on ways to stay healthy. PAs perform physical exams, diagnose illnesses, develop and carry out treatment plans, order and interpret diagnostic tests, suture wounds, assist in surgery, provide preventive health counseling and write prescriptions.
Where can a PA work?
PAs are employed in every state in the country and several overseas locations, with the majority practicing in primary care medicine, such as family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics. Approximately one third of all PAs work in solo or group practice settings, and another third work in hospitals. PAs can be found practicing in communities of any size, and are sometimes the primary source of health care for rural populations.
The 2015 AAPA (American Academy of Physician Assistants) report stated that the 2014 mean annual income for PAs was $97,280 and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a growth in PA employment by 38 percent between 2012 and 2022.
On September 29, 2015, an article by Rachel Gillett was featured at Businessinsider.com with the title: What it's like to have the best job in America right now.
The AAPA web site supplies facts at a glance concerning the current state of the PA profession.

Schröder (Schroeder, Schroder, Schroeter) is a family name originally found among Mennonites in Danzig and West Prussia. The name was recorded as early as 1605 and appeared in the congregations of Tiegenhagen, Fürstenwerder, Orloff, Tragheimerweide, Montau-Gruppe, Schönsee, Danzig, Königsberg and Elbing. From here the name was transplanted to the Ukraine. Peter P. Schroeder of the Crimea was a Mennonite representative in the Duma in St. Petersburg. Franz and Schröder was an agricultural machinery factory of Halbstadt, Molotschna, and Heinrich Schröder of Halbstadt was a manufacturer of motors. Johann Schroeder was the second elder of the Michalin Mennonite Church, Poland, and the first elder of the Gnadenberg Mennonite Church, Kansas. P. R. Schroeder was a leading General Conference Mennonite Church minister. Elizabeth A. Schroeter of Reedley, California wrote a fictionalized account of the Mennonite migration from the Ukraine to America, entitled From Here to the Pinnacles (New York, 1956). The name is found mainly in Canada, the United States and South America.

text: Ford Concedes Camaro Will Outsell Mustang In 2010Ray Wert12/23/10 9:30amFiled to: Muscle Car WarsFord Mustangchevy camarochevrolet camaroChevyChevroletCamaroMustangFordDodge Challenger190EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkGeorge Pipas, Ford's sales analyst, told a group of reporters this week the automaker isn't concerned that the Chevrolet Camaro will outsell the Mustang this year for the first time since 1985.AdvertisementThrough November, Ford sold 68,264 Mustangs. Chevy had sold 75,685 Camaros. This despite the Mustang coming in both Coupe and Convertible flavors. Dodge's Challenger is farther back in the pack at 33,461 units sold through November.Pipas told reporters this week that "If that was important, we wouldn't have taken a shift off at Flat Rock," the Michigan factory that builds the Mustang, he said.AdvertisementWhat this means is twofold — first, that Ford's more interested in making profits than with pride. At this point, that's a good thing if you ask us — up until the point they begin putting profits above sensibility — like if they go and brand a Ford Focus crossover as a Bronco, for example. GM's been down that road before, let's hope Ford doesn't follow them.Secondly, it's great because for the first time in 25 years, there's actually competition in the muscle car category — and competition's good for everyone, right?Reply190 repliesLeave a reply

lustful sin & closest Kin, part 3

Posted Sun 5th of March 2006
lifelong fantasy of sex with mom finally happens
Let me continue. This story picks up about two years ago, my father had passed away unexpectedly, mom was now in her sixties, and I am nearly forty, married, with kids of my own. To describe my mother, she is very plain, quite short and petite, she wears a "reducing bra" because she has breasts that are very large for her small frame. Her skin is very pale with a few bluish varicose veins showing along her legs. She carries a few pounds of extra flesh around her hips and thighs but stays pretty darn well kept for a 60 some year old. A business trip had brought me near my hometown about six hours from where I now live. I was staying with mom in her new home, we ate supper and lounged about the living room, she was wearing a simple long cotton gown. I enjoyed being with her and talking but at the same time I wanted to get away from her, partly because I needed to relieve my cock that throbbed as I watched her every move, and partly because I feared that I might not be able to restrain my lust and I might try what I had always refrained from doing.
I excused myself and retired to the guest bedroom and quickly dropped my jeans and started stroking my cock. The sight of my mother lying around in that flimsy gown had re-awakened my forbidden fantasies of her. I imagined her big, soft, pale breasts that I had just watched swaying beneath that thin layer of cloth. I thought of the treasure that waited at the union of her creamy white thighs that I had been watching closely. Suddenly, something came over me. I am not sure just what I was thinking, but before I could reason with myself, I returned to the living room couch where she was sitting, I sat beside her and used the remote to turn off the TV she was watching. I said "mom, I have a problem".
I'm not sure what all I said next because I was trembling and stuttering as I spilled my guts about my fantasies with her. She mostly just sat there looking at me and shaking her head slowly with tears welling up in her eyes. I remember saying something about knowing that she had not been getting the loving she deserved as I moved myself over her. She didn't push me away, she just grabbed me and held me from her. I lowered my face towards her to kiss and then she pulled me close and turned her head away. My cock was rubbing through my jeans against her thigh as I lowered my lips and kissed the side of her face and her neck, I could feel her breasts through the cotton fabric pressing on my bare chest as I grabbed her head and turned her towards me and kissed her lips. She paused briefly, then said "NO!", and pushed me away. I retreated immediately and sat up in the middle of the couch and burst into tears. I was truly ashamed of what I had done.
In no time at all, Mom came to me and held me close to her. She stood in front of me while I sat on the couch and held me and she sighed and cried along with me for several minutes. Her hands stroked my shoulders and neck as she held me close and kissed me on top of the head. My arms were wrapped around her waist and I clung to her tightly. It slowly dawned on me that my face was nestled into her bosom, I could feel the heat from her soft tits, I kept hold of her as she knelt on the couch beside me. I somehow convinced myself that since she returned to hold me close, she must not be upset with my advances and maybe I should try again. I stared into her eyes as I slowly lowered her down under me, and I was soon atop her again, I kept hugging her and planted soft kisses on her shoulders, neck, and cheeks. My hand found it's way beneath her gown, I stroked and rubbed her side and belly, then reached to grab onto one of her ample tits. My other hand pulled the cotton fabric up and exposed her breasts, I lowered my face and began kissing all over her left breast until I found her wrinkled nipple and took it into my lips. Her only response was deep and rapid breathing. Now I returned to her face and kissed her again, her lips were so soft, her breath kind of stank but it didn't matter, I was so turned on kissing my mom! She just kind of laid there moaning softly, her mouth only slightly responding to my kisses. My hands were rubbing all over her body as I kissed her face, breasts, and neck; I don't even think she realized what was happening as I caressed and kissed her body while my hands worked my pants and her panties down to our ankles.
I had nestled myself in between her thighs, I lifted up slightly and looked down at her frail body. Her big tits sagged to each side of her heaving chest, from my angle I could only see the mound of her cunt, it had lots of fading reddish-bronze hair all matted and curled. I lowered myself and as my cock touched her pubes she involuntarily burst out "OHH! OHH!!", She was dry and my dick pressed and prodded her lips but could not gain an entrance into her even though I was quickly lubing her up with the pre-come oozing from my shaft. I prodded lower and could feel my cock settle into smooth flesh, but still, her dry organ would not accept my stiff shaft.
It was unbeleviable! My cock was pressed against the warm pubes that had given me life! I was thrilled as I worked my hips around and rubbed my swollen, leaking cockhead through her pubic hair and against her pussy lips. She went beyond moaning and started panting out her excitement. Her voice did it. She was uttering those words that had shook my soul for three decades as she held me tightly and leaned her head into my chest. Feeling all of her warm flesh and hearing her excited voice sent me over the edge. As My mother voiced those words of ecstasy, "OHH!!, OHH!!" my cock spewed strings of cum all over her hairy mound and cuntlips.
I could not believe what had just happened, I WAS DEVASTATED! How could I have come so quickly? For most of my 40 years I had anticipated this moment, and in the crucial moments, had lost control of myself.
But my lust was not to be denied, I knew I had to feel myself inside her anyway, so I pressed again into her cuntlips which were now coated with my sperm. This time my swollen cockhead met little resistance and slid between her hairy lips and into the warm embrace of her 60 year old vagina!
I pushed myself further and further into her tight, warm opening and her exclamations continued with increasing intensity. I pulled her close, sucked on her neck, and stroked into her deep and hard. With each back thrust of my hips, she moved herself closer towards the edge of the couch. I had no idea what she was doing, I was overcome with the wonderful sensation of pushing myself into her heated nest. I quickly pumped my slick meat into her maybe a dozen times when I started to come again! But once again, my sperm would not find it's way into the place where I so desperately needed to put it! While my balls and cock were just begining to implant my seed in her, she somehow had slid all the way off the couch and onto the floor and she quickly got to her feet and took off sobbing to the bathroom. I followed after her with a thin strand of cum dangling from my dick. She locked herself in the bathroom. I told her I was sorry and pleaded with her to come out. She just kept saying "it's ok, just forget it ever happened". That night she kept her distance and for months afterward it was extremely awkward to even speak with her, I had feared I may have ruined our close relationship forever. Whenever we would visit, she would make sure we were never alone together and I grew very remorseful over what I had done.

"The War Colleges offer a nearly year-long in-residence program for senior officers who are being groomed for flag rank — a place for them to go and think deeply, after a couple of decades in uniform, about history, strategy, and the intellectual burdens of senior command. Half-assed plagiarism of half-assed papers — at this level! — is a sign of institutional rot, not just personal failings. No one noticed? What's the general level of officer scholarship at the War Colleges? What's the general level of quality in the contemporary flag ranks?"
And this comment: There's a lot of institutional rot in a lot of places these days.
Google, "Republican plagiarism".
For ultra-conservatives it's not academic, it's epidemic.
My google search came up with "Joe Biden". Has Joe ever been accused of plagiarism?
Funny, I don't think of him as a Repub…
Dang. Now Google is saying "Martin Luther King".
Say it isn't so! No way was MLK a Repub.
Oh, Jim, dear, even I know how to Google. I am beginning to think that you are a simpleton.

Cue off topic legalinsurrection link in 3…2…1…and…we're live from Jim's bubble with another freshly made cool, sweet pitcher of Kool-Aid. The ice cubes are swirling and clinking invitingly as we stir with a wooden spoon out here in the summer heat of Mtn View, CA, USA!
Jim, honey, don't let those mean trolls taunt you about legalinsurrection. Everyone needs their own safe place, why can't you.
Hey, thanks for the uplifting words!
I'm sure it pays to take psychological advice from a guy who talk to himself.
It appears to be just you here, Jim, plus some mean trolls, so I don't blame you for talking to yourself.
As Mr Rogers would say: "Can you spell 'c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l'? I knew you could!"
The troll couldn't spell 'r-e-a-l-i-t-y' to save its miserable life.
Here in CA, we saw the Dems make power generation costly and, in some cases, illegal. After the "ship hit the sand", they bought long term contracts with Enron at ruinous prices. Then they said Enron caused the problem.
More recently Germany, Spain and other Euro countries have tried a similar approach. Recently Germany discovered that their country was often cloudy (who couldanode?) and that solar would never be a full replacement for the nukes and coal plants that had been shuttered. Over the last month their decision to out-source energy to Russia has been shown to be problematic. Spain was so generous with solar subsidies that they had to cut them … in fact, cut them retroactively and require people to pay back money that had already been disbursed.
For anyone living the New England area, this scenario is coming to your neighborhood.
"… natural gas — the fuel that everybody loves until you have to drill for it — has risen from 15 percent (source of all power) to a starkly vulnerable 52 percent, just behind California.
There's only one problem. New England doesn't have the pipelines to bring in the gas. Nor is anyone going to be allowed to build it, either."
"Last winter, when record low temperatures hit, there just wasn't enough gas to go around. … Prices skyrocketed from $4 per mBTU to an unbelievable $79 per mBTU and electricity prices spiked to ten times their normal level."
"New Englanders already pay 45 percent higher electric bills than the rest of the country and that figure can only grow."
"When the crisis finally arrives this winter or next, you can be sure Vermont's socialist Senator Bernie Sanders will be at the head of the pack, braying that the whole thing has been caused by "speculators.""
