Have a plumber send a camera down the line to see what can be seen. Seems to me you need legal advice more than plumbing advice.
I need serious help. My main drain is backing up into my cellar after the back pressure blew off the 100 year old plug. I'm sorry if this is a long story but I need to figure out if I am connected to a sewer or a hidden cesspool. My house was originally built as part of an estate that had 3 houses and a store on one lot. The main house was built in 1846 and mine in 1912. The city sewer system was first started in 1869. When building the houses the owner had connected all the drains together from all 3 houses and the store. As I've been told the owners of the other 2 houses had major problems throughout the years and finally abandoned their connections to this line 5 years ago. The problems I am having are exactly what they went through before getting off the line. The main drain has been fine for 3 years now it's backed up bad. If I use the water it will not backup in the house, just fills the main drain and drains very slowly. I had a plumber snake the drain and he found no obstructions. If I wait a few hours it drains and the line is empty again. The other 2 houses had the same issue, it would act up for a month then it would be perfectly fine for a year or 2. No explanation as to why it would be good for a year or 2, no snaking nothing. I was told it will continue to do this to me on and off. I was told by the neighbor that the system dumps into the main sewer system somewhere 1/4 mile away but I think he is wrong. I am convinced there is a cesspool under the neighbor's (main house built in 1846) paved driveway. He recently paved his driveway over and it's sinking. It sank so bad you can actually see the outline of a manhole cover in the asphalt. He says it's a cleanout access I think it's a cesspool cover. I called the city and the guy told me he remembers all the issues with the neighbors and told me they were never able to determine where the system dumps out. They never found anywhere it was tied in to the sewer but assumed it was. I believe it's a cesspool because generally when a system is plugged it's plugged and will continue to get worse until it's completely blocked. I am thinking the only way it can be fine for a year or 2 then plug up for a month then be fine again for a year or 2 is because it's a cesspool and it's draining slowly into the leeching field. I need help here. I do not know what to do. I literally had to cut the drain for my shower and pipe it out the cellar window into the yard so it won't back up on me. The neighbor isn't going to allow me to tear up his driveway to open the manhole cover without a court order so I'm stuck. Does anyone know how I can find out for certain whether or not it is a cesspool or not? I figure if I can prove it is a cesspool I will be able to get access to it to have it pumped. There are no records on file with the city and the deeds do not show anything and do not have any easements. Any suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated, even if you tell me I'm crazy to think it's a cesspool. Thanks

Have a plumber send a camera down the line to see what can be seen. Seems to me you need legal advice more than plumbing advice.
The age complicates the question. Since the lines under your property are yours, the city would not have a recorded easement. The best suggestion is probably the camera. Cameras have locator radio beacons, so it would be a fairly simple matter to find out where the line goes to. Finding the cleanout could be tougher! 60 years ago, when my dad first needed to clean out the septic, he eventually found that he had built a porch out over the cleanout. Fortunately, it was only about a foot under the foundation of the porch, and they were able to get to it.
An alternative to the camera is a thing my drain guy used. He fed his snake down the drain a certain number of feet, attached a low-voltage electric thingy to the snake, then used a thing like one of those treasure finders to mark out exactly where the the length of the snake was going, with all the twists and turns. You might end up with a nice green line sprayed in the dirt from your house to the middle of your neighbor's driveway where the manhole cover is. I would think that photos or a video of the painted line would make compelling evidence if you ever had to go before a judge. However, I wouldn't spray anything on your neighbor's property. Maybe just a length of orange twine on the ground to show the path. Depends upon how much of a difficult person your neighbor is.
quote; However, I wouldn't spray anything on your neighbor's property
The spray the "professional" locators use fades away after a few weeks, which is why it has to be "renewed" every two weeks if the project is time consuming and the location has to be "saved".

Thanks for your advise everyone. I called a plumber with a drain camera and have a tentative appointment (snow depending) scheduled for tomorrow. Yesterday I went to inspectional services and looked at the building permits on record for my house and as I expected nothing there. Then I went to the water and sewer dept in person and spoke with someone explaining the issue. He brought the maps out from 1884 (before my street existed) and showed me what he has and there is nothing showing where the neighbor's system enters the sewer. He told me it was almost impossible for a plumber to snake out 100' plus and find nothing. He said that he didn't know where it tied into the sewer and also suggested a drain camera to find out. I asked if it was possible that there is a cesspool not a sewer and he said it very well might be the case (which would be ridiculous because my house and the other 2 houses have been paying sewer charges all along). This whole mess started about 2 weeks ago and it's been ok since I put my shower drain out the window, but someone used shower #2 today and now the toilet is bubbling away again. I'm going to have to dump that one out the window too. If I just use the toilets and sinks on the drain line it's ok, add a shower and it's all done. I am really actually hoping it is a cesspool because it seems like draining it would be the cheapest way out, however the neighbor covered the manhole in layers of asphalt so either way it's going to be a problem.
I asked the other neighbor about the possibility of it being a cesspool. He laughed and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm nuts (or just a stupid girl). I do not know very much about plumbing or how drains or sewers work, but I'm just thinking that if a pipe has an obstruction that little by little the obstruction would eventually become a total blockage (flushing solids etc). The neighbor told me for years they would have issues for a couple weeks, then be ok for a year or so and it would repeat that cycle. Logical reasoning (in my head at least) makes me think cesspool because how else would it magically be fine again without fixing the clog? I have no idea how a cesspool works, but I figure it's hole in the ground that fills and eventually seeps out through the soil. I am thinking when the neighbor's entire property was covered in asphalt (literally not a single blade of grass or dirt) it made the ground unable to breathe and therefore unable to disperse the liquids as it should. I'm thinking his sinking manhole cover area is really a failing cesspool waiting to collapse. This is driving me crazy trying to figure it out. I don't have the $$ to dig it up and tie into the other system like the 2 neighbors did, and even if I did I refuse to just suck it up rather than find out the problem. I need opinions from anyone familiar with a cesspool system. Am I crazy thinking it's a cesspool? Thanks again.
First of all you are on a septic tank with leech lines running out from it and it doe's not matter if the ground is covered in asphalt,
the reason you have the problem is because of in a heavy RAIN" overloads the water table and the leach field can not
drain out properly,
i did a job at a restaurant years ago that was paying sewer fees but we found out it was on a septic tank !
and after that i did work at a meat plant where the men's restroom and shower was still on a septic tank built under the floor when the other end of the plant was tied into the city sewer years before they missed this connection,
so it can happen !

What a headache this has become. I had a plumber with a camera out here. He got 3 feet into the drain line and it was completely submerged so he couldn't go any further. I literally do not know what to do at this point and no one has a suggestion for me. Spending thousands of dollars I do not have is not a reasonable solution as far as I'm concerned. I just want to fix the problem and no one can tell me what the problem is. This is frustrating.
I find it hard to believe that the town doesn't know. Do you get a sewer bill? Did you buy it through a realtor? The realtor would definately know.
Did you have a home inspection? If you took a mortgage on the property it would be on the appraisal.
It would be cheaper to make a few phone calls and dig up old paperwork than to send a camera down the line.
If its a cesspool you are in trouble. A cesspool is a large pit in the ground with a lid. Once it is full might be able to pump it once or twice but eventually it will need to be dug out by hand.
If you are asking if you have a septic thats a different story even a failed septic can be pumped out and nursed along by not putting any paper or chemicals into it. Sounds like a pain, but if you dont have the 10 grand to fix it your SOL.
If your plug blew off after a heavy rain it may mean you are on a septic system, or it may mean the town sewer main backed up. I once was in a house where the main sewer line had a 4x4 beam propped between the sewer cleanout cap and the floor joist. You might consider that as a precaution against another poop storm in your basement until you can get it fixed.
Two things to consider before you spend anymore real money. Try an enzyme cleaner drain cleaner. They take a few days to a week to work. It sends bacteria through the line and it eats away the built up grease and whatever else is constricting the flow. Once it has worked on the crud for a few days it will fall off.
If you have a septic that will be safe. Another possibility is tree roots getting into you sewer line. Little tendrils grow in there
there is a tree root killer that will take care of that, but I think that may kill the flora in your septic if you have one.
It is totally amazing that the property would be able to be subdivided with no provision whatever made for sewer easements or having
the info recorded in the official property records. Things used to be extremely lax back in the day, I guess.
Water in the line is no impediment whatever to sending a camera down the line. If the camera could go no further, then you
must have a blockage/line collapse?
Somehow I get the feeling the OP is leaving out major chunks of info about this problem.

I could kick myself for falling for this stuff again. I first tried this several years ago, and no matter what I did, could not get the product to apply without major eye discomfort. After a few weeks of trying this on and off with different mascaras, it got tossed to the back of the drawer (and eventually thrown out). Fast-forward several years, and I'm reading the glowing reviews of this product here on MUA. After reading the reviews & their application tips, I also went on the HSN website & watched the video on this. I was sold, and blamed myself that it must be my application technique(s) that were at fault the first go-round with this stuff. I bought the combo pack of the Fab lash mascara and the fiber extensions (once again). After reading all the tips here and watching the demo video, plus with my years of experience in doing my own falsies and extensions, I really felt confident that I could manage this application. Apparently not. It's 8:30AM and I'm at my desk, I have about half of my eyeliner left from my painful eyes watering nonstop since applying this product this morning at around 6:15AM. I cannot describe the discomfort; it's actually worse than I remembered it, and yes, I followed the tips here & in the video, and no, I'm not a contact lens wearer. The downright-wicked glue that smells like formaldehyde that my lash technician used to use for my extensions didn't even bother my eyes nearly this bad, and not nearly for as long. If I didn't have an hour commute each way, I would probably go home & flush my eyes out & re-do my eye make-up over my lunch break, it's that bad. It hurt like he** before I even left the house this morning, but in using a hand mirror, I could not even see where the problem was; I gently used a Q-tip to pull back my lower lid where the pain seems to be, and I couldn't even see where the problem was in order to fix it! So frustrating. And for what: lashes that looked slightly thicker for about 5 minutes, and on the ends, they looked like tarantula legs (fuzzy). Forget about "practicing" with this stuff; I'll happily use the glue for falsies or extensions or risk life with lame lashes with mascara only. This stuff is getting returned.
I was expecting so much from this product considering how much it cost. The teeny tiny fibers got everywhere (my face, my eyes, my lips, eww?) This product made my eyes itch more than I have ever itched before! I had to take it off right away, and I had to literally pick fibers from my lower eyelid. Once I messed with this product a few times, I started to get better results. My lashes looked like false lashes without the hassle of glue! I personally don't think it is worth the itching and burning to have great looking lashes in the name of beauty.
I got sucked into buying this while I was home recovering from surgery. I was watching HSN & saw the demo & was like " I gotta get this!" (I also got the mascaras which are awesome...will review separately).
This stuff is pretty messy, but it works so amazingly! My lashes looked extra long, extra, extra thick, yet fluttery, not clumpy.
This does get little black fibers on your face when you're putting it on, but you can use a cotton ball or a makeup brush to dust it off. It comes off easily. Another reviewer recommended putting this on while looking down into a hand mirror. This works great & almost no fibers get on my face when I do it this way. Still, I would recommend you put this on before you put on the rest of your makeup, including any moisturizers or primers, as it tends to stick more to these & doesn't dust off as easily. I don't think this would be a good product if you wear contacts. As someone who used to wear contacts, I could see this being a nightmare for contact wearers.
I've used Urban Decay's Eyelash Primer Potion & while that is so much neater, I can't stand that it's white (makes it hard to cover) & I don't think it works anywhere near as good as this does.
Definitely would buy this again.

This is such a great product. Don't get discouraged if the first time you use it, you have trouble. I do multiple layers of this with my mascara but my final coat is a clear mascara. Clear mascara is perfect to seal this product on my lashes. I also apply it with my eyes almost closed so then I don't get any in my eyes since I do wear contacts. The attention I have received because of my eyes recently has been great and I know it is because of this product. Just practice first, don't apply this in a hurry and you will love it.

I never review anything because basically I am not a makeup gal.
However, this product is AMAZING!!!
As I've gotten older my lashes (never long or full to begin with) have become sparse, and much lighter. This product (in combination with Latisse) gives me drop dead gorgeous lashes. Even my husband well known in the family for NOT noticing noticed!!! This is my very first HG m/u product!!!
More reviews by xpatheticxlove3
I love this product. It's cheaper than Raipid Lash and it looks like I have false lashes on every time i wear it !
Check out my review here.
It really works! It lengthens, it volumizes, it darkens. Works well with any mascara. Put your mascara first, then put his, and put another layer of mascara. The fibers that fall on your cheeks can be easily removed with a brush. Get the effect of false eyelashes without actually wearing falsies. Great innovation!
OK LADYS!! HERE IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH! If you use this product correctly you will be amazed. I have people all the time asking if I wear false eyelashes, my lashes are sparce and puney. I have low thyroid so they fall out and grow back short . I have always had small lashes. DONT buy this product if your not going to take some time with it, its new for you and it is not like mascara, you have to work it.
This FLIPPEN WORKED!! After I used this product for about 6 months, I purchased RAPID LASH, I swear to you my lashes are hitting my brows, and with the Ready to Wear product, it is so beautiful. I like my eyes, now, I feel youthful and pretty. Keep in mind Rapid Lash ( got it at CVS) is a bit pricy, and it took about 3 -4 weeks before I said OMG those are my lashes,
1. Use WATER PROOF mascara (yes i know hard to remove, use oil base make up remover, this is the only way your eyelashes will hold the curl) Hopefully your curling, not bending your eyelashes.
2. DO NOT put your foundation on first, you can use conceler, I do..
3. Use a HEATED eye lash curler, not bender CVS has a little eyelash heater that CURLS those puney lashes, you have to TAKE YOUR TIME to achieve the nice curl, then you use your regular eyelash bender (curler) on the very root just quickly to give it some umph!!
4. Once you have prepred your eyelashes, and make sure your LASHES ARE CLEAN!!
5. Use water proof mascara I use the yellow lash blast I think by cover girl it is the fat round one, WATER PROOF.
6. Wipe the mascara brush so it is not to thick full of mascara, then coat your eyelashs, very very important, from root to tip, just coat once or twice you dont want your lashes to clump, try one slow stroke from root to end get every lash,
7. use the ready to wear, same from root to end, but dont clean brush, just apply from root to end.
8. Masara again, make sure the mascara brush is not full and clumppy with mascara, then appy same way.
9. if you dont see a drastic differnce do the same thing again... IF YOUR NOT SEEING A DIFFERNCE, YOU ARE APPLYING THE PRODUCT WRONG.... AND REMEMBER IF YOU DONT USE WATER PROOF MASCARA YOUR EYELASHES WILL NOT, NOT , NOT STAY CURLED. Beauty takes time, its worth it, THIS PRODUCT HAS CHANGED MY LOOK , SO MANY PEOPLE ASK ME DO YOU HAVE FALSE EYELASHES ON, NEVER IN MY LIFE HAS ANYONE ASKED THAT, AND THEY LOOK NATUAL
10. clean the little fibers off your face, use a warm wet wash cloth. make sure to give your lashes one last coat, so no more hairs fly,
11. apply your foundation and off you go..
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Ehhh....well I bought this based on the reviews here. I thought it would work wonders but unfortunately it doesn't really do much for me! Naturally, my lashes aren't super long or thick, they are just average. But they are really dark, maybe that has something to do with not being able to tell much of a difference with this. It definitely is messy when applying it though that is for sure! I really don't think I would repurchase unless they was a big sale on them.
I am, personally, a fan of these lash extensions. I have used the Talika ones in the past and was not impressed, so I was reluctant to try these. Let me start by comparing the two. The Talika fibers are larger, darker, and more coarse, while the Ready to Wear extensions are finer, shorter, and much softer. This alone makes the RTW extensions much easier to use. When I would use the Talika extensions, I would have fall-out onto my cheeks throughout the whole day and people would constantly be telling me that I had hairs on my face. Not a good look! So far, I haven't had that problem with the RTW. You are meant to sandwhich the fibers in between 2 or more coats of mascara. For contact wearers, try closing the eye slightly before putting the fibers over your first coat of mascara. This should help minimize the amount of fibers that might fall into your eyes. However, I haven't experienced discomfort with fibers in the eye with the RTW (I did experience this with Talika). These do give my lashes a longer, fake lash look. If you are more of a natural mascara girl and do not like the fake lash look, you will NOT like the effect that these fibers give. With that said, they do take a little bit of manipulation to make sure they are applied evenly and unclumpy. If you are willing to work with them, then they will give you fuller, longer lashes. However, as others have mentioned in previous reviews, I'm sure there are primers out there that give a similar effect for much less work. Me... I'm a little bit ridiculous and love lashes, so I use primer AND the extensions! but both in moderation. In the end, I would say these are worth a try.

Charlottesville Police say their missing K9, Leo, was found Sunday morning in the Preddy Creek area.
March 10, 2013
Charlottesville Police are on the hunt for one of their own -- a police K9 dog that fled from its handler on Saturday night.
Charlottesville Police say the K9, Leo, fled from its handler around 8:30 p.m. Saturday in the area of Burnley Road and Burnley Station Road in Orange County, near the northern portion of Albemarle County.

Nessie just turned five and it's starting at a new school, where she'll find new people and have new adventures, while hidding who she really is. She'll find friends, enemys and maybe even a new love. Sequel of "A New Life" but it stands on its own.
A New Path
Five years
"Happy birthday," I heard in my ear and my eyes flew open. Jacob. I smiled and he smiled back.
"What time is it?" I asked him.
"Time for you to go to school," he said, smiling even wider. "I came here to see you in your uniform and to gave you this," he handed me a little gift bag with a pink ribbon.
I opened it and saw a beautiful bracelet inside. I took his arm and showed him my first Christmas, when he gave me a bracelet that looked exactly like this one.
"Yeah, you grew too fast so I thought you needed a new one," he said taking the bracelet out of my hand. "Do you like it?" he asked me, a little insecure.
"I love it," I told him, stretching my arm so he could clasp it around my wrist and I felt myself blushing instantly at the feeling of his touch.
Jacob and I are close, like really close, best friends, to be more specific, but he doesn't know that I want us to be more and I'm scared to tell him 'cause I'm sure he doesn't feels the same about me. He's always been there for me, ever since I was a little girl, he's been like a brother to me, but lately those feelings morphed and now I can't stop thinking about him; his smile is always in my mind, making my head spin and butterflies to fly in my stomach. He is so caring, so understanding and so beautiful that I'm slowly falling for him, not that he notices me, I mean, yeah we're best friends and spend lots of time together, but for him is just that; we are friends and nothing else. That only thought bummed me in a second.
"Why the long face?" he asked furrowing his eyebrows, he could read my face so easily. "You should be happy; today is your birthday and you'll get to go to school, isn't that what you have always wanted?"
"Yes, it is, I'm just nervous, that's all," I lied to him and smiled. School starts today, actually started a couple of weeks ago but my mother told me I was able to go the moment I turned five, that day being today, so today I'll start school with new people to now and new experiences to live. Even though I'm five I look like I'm fifteen, that's why my parents allowed me to go; I'll start today as a sophomore in a private school here in Seattle. My father insisted in a private school, agreeing with that was the only way he would let me go, so I accepted immediately, the second reason he let me enroll in high school is that my mother we'll be a literature teacher there, so I'll always be protected, and, like my father always says 'protecting you is the most important thing'.
Is a good thing no one in the school would now the teacher is my mother, they'll think she's my sister, at least that's our story now; my mom is my sister, she's 22 (actually she's 18, and will always look like one, but she can go by like a 22 years old), she just graduated from Dartmouth (she actually graduated a couple of years ago) and she's my dad girlfriend. My dad is 20 years old (he's really 17) and he's in his second year of medicine in U-Dub. My dad is grandma's brother, she's acting like she's 26, so my dad can't act like her foster kid anymore, grandpa is acting like he's 27 and he will be working in a hospital here in Seattle. Aunt Alice is acting like one of the foster kids; she'll be 18, just graduated from high school and is starting a business with Aunt Rose, she is also pretending to be 18, is the same business as they had in New Hampshire – an event planner company – but they started again so they can act like they are younger and we'll be able to be here for a while. Aunt Rose and uncle Jasper are acting like they're twins and they are relatives of grandpa Carlisle, Uncle Jasper helps with Alice and Rose's business, but only when is extremely urgent. Finally is Uncle Emmett, he's also acting like one of the foster kids, he's 19 and he's Alice's brother, he got a work in a bar downtown.
Messy, huh? Well, that's my life, we always have to pretend because we are vampires and we don't get old, well, actually I'm a half-vampire and I do get old, but from Grandpa Carlisle's estimations I'll stop growing when I turn 7 and I will always look like an 18 years old, just like my mom. One of the benefits of being a half-vampire is that I look much more human, my skins isn't that white and my eyes don't change color depending if I'm hungry or not, I have human needs, like going to the bathroom and eating something besides blood, and I get human reactions; I can blush and I can cry, so is easy to hide my real identity.
We are not all vampires, Jacob is actually a shape shifter, he can turn into a wolf willingly and won't age if he keeps shifting and that's why he looks like he's 25 ever since he was 16. He looking like a 25 year old since he was 16 is due to the fact that half breeds – like me and Jacob – age really fast, so he aged from 16 to 25 in a matter of months, like I've aged from newborn to 15 in five years.
"Nessie, you have to get dress or you'll be late to school," my father told me from the first floor. Jacob stood up from my bed and offered me his hand; I took it and got up for school. I went to my bathroom and he got out of my room. I took a short shower, I tried to get the knots out of my hair while I was there; my curly hair becomes a wild mess if I don't brush it constantly. I got out of the shower and dressed with my new uniform, it's a deep blue tartan pleated skirt with a white blouse, a deep blue tie and cardigan, with the school logo in the chest. I went down stairs and everyone was waiting for me in the kitchen.
"Ohhh, you look so cute," Aunt Alice squeaked and went to hug me. Everyone hugged me, telling me I looked beautiful, wishing me a happy birthday and giving me gifts. Aunt Alice and uncle Jasper gave me like ten new outfits I could wear when I was with my friends out of school (of course this was Alice's idea), aunt Rose and uncle Emmett gave me an iPhone, they said I could do a lot of fun stuff with it, but more importantly I could call them whenever I needed and they'll be there in a heart bit, all the important numbers where already on the phone. Grandpa Carlisle and grandma Esme gave me a brown leather diary, so I could write every exciting moment of the new adventure that I was heading and finally, my mom and dad gave me a simple silver necklace with a big R.
"If I could produce tears I'll be crying now," my mother said hugging me again. She kissed the top of my head and held me a little tighter.
"You grew so fast," my father added, joining the hug. "I can't believe you are already five and you are going to school!"
"I'm fifteen," I whined.
"You may look like you are fifteen, but you are only five," he replied. Jeez, if they all keep treating me like I'm five Jake would never take me seriously. I felt my father stiffen and I rolled my eyes. That's what happens when you hear another people's thoughts, I added in my mind.
"You know I can't help it," he said sighing. "I wish I could."
Everyone looked at us funny, but then understood that I was having a silent conversation with my father, something we do a lot. My father new before I do that I was falling for Jacob, he tried to get me distracted, he did his best effort of keeping me away from him, but he could pick from my mind that that wasn't helping matters. I was falling for him irrevocably and no one could do anything about it, not even me.
Then they sang "happy birthday" with a cupcake, saying they'll have a real cake in the afternoon; I thanked everybody, ate the cupcake and drank a cup of tea. My mother always says that I should drink milk, but I don't like the smell of it and the flavor is even worse, so she stop trying to persuade me when I was four. At least I eat more food now that back then, but I drew the line in milk.
"Okay, are you ready to go?" My mom asked me. My father was going to give us a ride, something I'm not particularly excited about; no one wants to be seen with her parents on the first day of school.
"You won't be seen with your father, you'll be seen with your sister and her boyfriend," my father reminded me and I winced at the word 'boyfriend', that was plain creepy.
"I can give you a ride if you want," Jacob said smiling at me, obviously sensing my discomfort. My dad growled softy and I smacked him on the arm and warned him with my eyes.
"That's actually great," I answered smiling. My father was going to protest but my mother spoke first.
"Edward, is already too embarrassing for her that I'll be a teacher in her school, maybe it'll be less embarrassing if she doesn't show up with us on her first day," she said, stroking his face. My father melted instantaneously at her touch and I knew he wasn't going to argue anything after that. I touched my mother and thanked her silently; she winked at me and smiled.
"Okay," my father agreed, "but you'll go behind us at all moments. Are we clear?"
"Sir, yes, sir," Jacob and I said at the same time and laughed afterwards. They all looked at us and rolled their eyes; coincidences like this were common with me and Jake.
We went outside and everyone went to the door and said goodbye. We were living in two secluded houses near Lake Union; my father's house and my grandparent's house. In my house it's only me and my parents; in the other house is everyone else. Jake is sharing an apartment downtown with Seth, Seth is also at the U-Dub – studying business management – and Jake is working at a restaurant; he's taking a couple of classes to be a chef.
My parents went to my father's black Volvo; he used to have a grey one but changed before we got to Seattle, saying it was way too updated. I went to Jacob's truck, he used to have a rabbit but changed a couple of years ago for a new shiny silver ford; it was big and it was manly and I loved the stupid thing.
We were already on the road when I started nibbling my bottom lip nervously and shaking my leg furiously.
"Don't be nervous, you'll do great," Jacob told me, patting my hand.
"I don't know," I said looking through the window. "What if no one likes me?" I asked him and he snorted the moment the words came out of my mind.
"What's not to like?" Jacob argued and gave me a reassuring smile. "You are funny, smart and beautiful; everyone will like you, just wait and see."
"Yeah right," it was my time to snort. "You only say that 'cause you're my best friend."
"I only say that because is truth," he said stopping at my school's parking lot. We saw my dad getting out of his car and walking to open my mom's door, he extended his hand to help her and she came out in a fluid movement. Everyone in the school was watching them; the girls were clearly talking about my dad, whispering who knows what in other girl's ears and the boys were elbowing each other and pointing at my mom. It was always like this with this two; the worst of it is that they both get jealous every time someone of the other sex notices them and that's why my dad kissed my mother thoroughly in front of everyone. I shivered and screamed 'stop it!' in my head, so my dad stopped and laughed, he obviously heard me in his mind, he told something to my mom, kissed her one more time and let her go. When he was getting to his door he looked at me and gave me a little wave, I say 'bye, I love you,' in my head and he smiled, he got in the car and drove away.
I took a cleansing breath and shivered when I was exhaling. Jacob put his hand on my shoulder and I turned around to look at him.
"Everything is going to be fine, stop worrying, call me if anything goes wrong and I'll be here before you hang up, okay?"
"Okay," I said with a shaky voice.
"I'll come to pick you up in the afternoon; I don't have to work in the restaurant today and I want to know how everything went. Relax you'll do great."
"Okay," I said a little more forcefully, knowing that Jacob we'll be here when all of this is done is something to look forward. I smiled and he smiled back.
"Now, go kick some asses," he said and his smile grew wider.
"Here we go," I said and came out of the car, ready to start my newest adventure.

I won't bother you now, read and I'll leave a note at the bottom of the chapter :)
First step
"Date him?" Seth asked bringing his swing to a sudden stop. "Why would you want to date him?"
"I didn't say date him," I told him, bringing my swing to a stop too. "I said that I'll ask him on a date."
"How is that any different?" He asked, standing next to my swing, I hopped off and we started walking toward my house.
"Because it'll be just one time thing and I think that more than one date it's required to date someone."
"Oh," he said, with some kind of relief. "But, can't you talk to him at school?"
"Would you tell someone you don't know that your sister is a werewolf?"
"No, never," he replied. "Not in a school, not even in a fancy restaurant."
"That's right," I told him, walking more slowly now that we were approaching home. "I will ask him out not to ask him about his sister right away, but to earn his trust. And I won't be taking him to a fancy restaurant, I was thinking taking him for a coffee, or something like that."
"That's actually a pretty good idea," he said smiling at me.
"You sound shock," I said, quirking an eyebrow. "I may be five, but I'm five times more intelligent than you."
"That you are Nessie, I won't argue back," he laughed and opened the door to my house, letting me go before him. I must have be thinking about Jacob – something I tend to do all the time – because my dad told me immediately that he was in the backyard; I thanked him and went to find Jake, who was walking toward the little forest that started just behind my house. Live surrounded by woods it was one of the things we were looking for when we moved here; it's easier to go hunting this way.
"Jake," I yelled at him and picked my pace, he came to a stop. "Where were you going?" I asked him.
"I thought of taking a little run," he told me, looking ahead.
"Great," I said, hoping he would look at me instead of the woods. "Go phase and I'll wait for you here, I feel like running too."
"Ness," he said with a big sigh. "I want to be alone."
"Oh," I said shocked, running through the woods was something we enjoy doing together… or so I thought. He started walking away from me and I couldn't stop the question from coming out of my mouth; "Are you mad at me?"
He stopped again and this time he turned and looked into my eyes. He must have seen something in my face because a look of concern filled his features, he move toward me and grabbed my arms.
"I've never gotten mad at you and I won't start now," he said with such and intensity that I couldn't look away.
"Then why are you acting like this?" I said; my voice almost a whisper.
"Because I worry about you," he told me, lowering his voice and releasing my arms. "And you don't care."
"Of course I care," I replied, and took a step ahead. "I know that you think that something bad might happen if I talk to Josh, but is the opposite thought that scares me the most."
"The opposite thought?" Jake asked confused.
"That something may happen to you – all of you – if I don't."
"It's not your job to protect family, less alone protect me."
"But it is," I replied. "I'm bound to protect you and my family because I love you too much not to do it."
"But…" he started fighting back but I stop him.
"Besides, I know what I'm doing," I told him with a wink and the corner of his lips twitched, like he was fighting a smile.
"You are stubborn just like your mother, did you know that?"
"I've been told a couple of times," I said smiling and he smiled back. "Do you still feel like running on your own?"
"No," he answered.
"Good, 'cause I'm starving," I said and he laughed, went behind a bush and reappeared in his wolf form. I stood right next to him, patted him on the head and ruffled his soft fur, earning a soft purr back.
"You want to race?" I said, getting in position and he barked as an answer. "Okay, at the count of three; One, two…" and I started running, two miles away I yelled "three!" and I heard Jacob's paws hitting the earth, making me run even faster.
Two hours later we were back at my house, me with my cheeks bright red from drinking blood and he still in his wolf form. I waited for him in the swing that was in the yard while he changed back into his human form. He came out from behind the bush and went to sit by me.
"That was fun," he said, stretching his arms and legs, sinking further in the cushions of the swing.
"I hate the fact that you always win when we run, even if I cheat," I whined and he laughed, retrieving a twig that was trapped in one of my curls.
"But you can climb trees faster than me," he replied with a smile. "And I have to be in my wolf form to bit you on a race."
"I guess that's right," I said, standing up, I stretched myself and turned around. "Are you hungry? I can make you a sandwich."
"Only one?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and I snorted.
"You're right," I said laughing. "Come on in, I'll do a bunch."
After he ate four grilled sandwiches and half a litter of coke he went home, kissing me on the cheek and telling me he'll be here tomorrow before I go so he could take me to school.
"What are you planning to do?" Jake asked me the next day, already in his truck on our way to my school.
"About what?" I asked him, changing the music.
"About Josh," he said, making me stop what I was doing, he looked at me, frowning. "You have a plan, haven't you?"
"Of course I have one," I said, thanking he was looking ahead again, 'cause I felt myself blushing. "I'm going to talk to him today."
"And?" he pushed, still looking ahead.
"I was thinking about asking him to go with me for a cup of coffee or something," I mumbled.
"What?" he almost yelled, I could see the tips of his ears turning red. "You are going to ask him on a date?"
He came to a stop in my school's parking lot and turned around to look at me, I was fumbling with my zipper.
"Is not a date," I reassured him, I didn't want him to take a wrong impression on the situation. "But he won't talk to me right away, so I thought that if we hang out and we get to know each other a little he'd trust me and he'd talk to me about his sister."
"I'll go with you," he said hastily.
"Sure, because a seven feet shape-shifter will help in the task of earning his trust," I told him, rolling my eyes for emphasis.
"I don't want you alone with him," he said, his jaw tense and his hands in fists.
"Who said anything about being alone?" I asked in disbelieve. Haven't we discussed this yesterday?
"Then?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Is coffee, I was thinking in going to a coffee shop," I replied. "Last time I check, lots of people drinks coffee and I've heard that coffee shops are quite popular."
"I'm not joking Nessie," he said rolling his eyes, his jaw relaxing a bit.
"I'm not joking either, I was stating a fact," I said, raising my eyebrows. "Coffee shops are full of people, that is why I'm picking the place, so stop treating me like I'm a careless little girl who doesn't know what she's doing."
I stormed out of the car and started walking toward the school's door, my dad was with my mom next to his car and they looked at me while I was walking rapidly.
"What happened?" dad asked and I answered in my mind. Ask Jacob.
I could hear Jacob yelling my name; I could also hear that he was picking his pace and I picked mine, I was already too tired to keep arguing with him. I heard dad talking to him, making him stop and I thanked him in my head. I went into the building and April was next to me in a second.
"What was that?" she asked me. "Who is he?"
"That was a little fight," I told her with a sigh. "And he was Jacob."
"That's Jacob?" she asked me with wide eyes. I told her all about Jacob last week, after she caught me sending him a text with – what she called – agoofy smile.
"Yes, that's him," we stopped at my locker where I got my books for my first class.
"He's hot," she said, wiggling her eyebrows.
"I know," I said with a sad smile, hating the fact that I just fought with him and I left him alone in the parking lot. April was going to ask me a question when the bell ringed, she told me we would see each other in the next our and went to her class.
I went to my own and heard my cellphone in my bag; I took it out and saw that I received a text from Jake.
Please, don't be mad at me. I just worry about you.
With a sigh I replied: Didn't we discuss this yesterday?
I was already sitting in my place when I received a response.
I know. I'm sorry. I won't ever doubt you again. Please don't be mad at me Ness, I can't take it when you are mad :(
I could picture him in my mind pouting and I couldn't stay mad at him anymore. Okay, I forgive you, but you better behave from now on, because I won't be so forgiving next time.
There won't even be a next time. I swear. You are the best Ness, see you tonight.
That was nice. I hate to stay mad at Jacob for more than a couple of hours, not that I get mad a lot, is almost impossible to do so.
At lunch we were sitting with Rachel and the rest of the volley team when I saw Josh entering the room.
"Hey, I'll be away for a second," I said to April and the girls, they nodded and kept eating. I walked toward Josh who saw me, turned around and left.You can't outrun me Josh…
Outside the cafeteria I called him and he came to a stop, probably knowing that I won't let him scape so easily this time.
"Yes?" he turned around and looked at me frowning.
"I wanted to talk to you," I said with a smile.
"About?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and shoving his hands deep in his pockets.
"Are you avoiding me?" I accused him. I didn't know what else to say, the words 'wanna go out for a cup of coffee later?' got stuck and this came instead.
"No," he said, turning slightly red. "Why would I do such a thing?"
"Because every time I try to talk to you, you turn around and walk away as fast as you can."
"Is not like that," he mumbled, blushing even more.
"And I want to know why," I said.
"Why?" he asked, biting his lip nervously.
"Yeah, I want to know why you are trying so hard to avoid me even though you don't know anything about me."
"I'm not trying to avoid you," he said, looking at his feet.
"Probe it," I dared him.
"Probe it how?" he asked, slightly panicked.
"Go out with me, today, for a cup of coffee," I said.
"Today? I don't know…" he trailed off.
"If you are not avoiding me, this shouldn't be a problem. We could go to the coffee shop that's a couple of streets away, we could get to know each other and, if after that you decide you don't like me, then you can star avoiding me."
"I don't know Renesmee," he said, looking at me and biting his lips even more.
"Oh, come on," I said. "I won't bite you, I swear."
"Okay, sure, let's go out for coffee," he gave up. "As long as you won't bite me..."
"I swear," I said smiling and he gave me a small smile. "See you after lunch."

I think Josh know about his sister being a vampire and probably she smelled either Bella or Ness on him so she told him to stay away from them, I could tell by the way he said no when it was clear he wanted to say yes. ALos for the fact he said "as long as you don't bite me………" that was a big gave away from his part.
I wonder who his sister is.
I loved the chapter!!!!
and awwww jake doesn't want to fight with ness
A/N: I told you I was going to write faster this time :)
The truth
"Ready to go?" I asked Josh the moment he appeared outside the school.
"Sure," he answered. "Let's do this."
"You sound like this is punishment," I replied frowning and he chuckled.
"Sorry, is not a punishment, I swear," he told me and started walking, making me follow after him, a lot of people from school were looking at us with curiosity. "You want to go to the coffee shop is a couple of blocks away, right?"
"That's the idea," I said, falling into a slow pace next to him.
"What do you want to talk about?" he asked, he had his hands deep in his pocket where he was playing with what sounded like keys.
"Nothing in particular, just wanted to get to know you," I said biting my lip, surprised that he blushed a little about my answer.
"What do you want to know?" he said, looking straight ahead.
"Uhmm," I pondered, "how old are you?"
"Fifteen," he said with a half-smile. "I'll turn sixteen in December."
"Cool, I just turned fifteen a couple of days ago."
"Yeah? When was that?" he inquired.
"My first day of classes," I told him and he looked at me surprised.
"Your parents made you go to your first day of classes on your birthday? That's lame!"
"Actually, it was my sister and his husband who gave me that gift – my parents died a long time ago – and I actually thought it was a neat present, this is my first time in a school, you know?"
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said, really looking at me for the first time since we started walking, his green eyes held so much emotion inside of them, they were so deep that you could easily get lost in them, I felt myself blushing slightly. We were already outside the coffee shop; he opened the door and indicated me to enter first.
"Are you sorry because my parents died or because this is my first time in a school?" I asked, clearly teasing him and he snorted. We got on line to get our coffee.
"For your parents, how did that happened?" he asked with real interest.
"It happened five years ago, in a car accident," I told him with a shrug. I practiced this story a lot before going to school, my dad told me it was good to have a backup story if someone asked me about my parents, he also told me not to give too much details, because too much details made people wonder if you were actually telling the truth 'cause you were trying too hard to make them believe.
"Didn't you and your sister end up in a foster home?" he asked after asking for two lattes, I paid the cashier, telling him it was my idea to go and he would get the next one and he just smiled, took the cups and led me to a little table on a corner.
"No, actually my sister was eighteen at the time, so she was old enough to take care of us," I answered, taking a sip of my coffee only to discover that alatte has milk on it and I hate milk. This happens when you prefer blood above every food; you don't know anything about coffee or other kinds of drinks or meals…
"Did you like it?" Josh asked with concern after looking at me shoving away the cup.
"Didn't know that a latte had milk on it," I answered honestly and turned a deep red when I saw the surprised look in Josh's face.
"You have never had a latte before?" he asked with his eyebrows raised high.
"No," I mumbled, turning even redder. "I'm not a big fan for coffee."
"Then why did you asked me to come?"
"I already told you, to get to know you," I answered and he smiled; his teeth perfectly straight and amazingly white.
"You could have asked me to go somewhere else with you Renesmee, I'd said yes," he told me, flashing another smile and making me blush all over again.What's up with that?
"You are a terrible liar; I almost had to beg you for you to come here," I replied and he laughed lightly.
"I guess you're right, but this is turning out much better than I thought," he said, blushing a little at the end of the statement.
"What did you think I was going to do?" I asked him and his looks changed, looking somber rather than cheerful, like he was just a second ago.
"I think we both know what your intentions are, Renesmee," he said seriously, his face showed no signs of a joke.
"My intentions?" I asked and blushed deeply. "You are talking like I'm some evil mastermind or something…"
"Aren't you?" he inquired, taking a sip from his coffee and looking at me through his long lashes.
"Do you think I'm an evil mastermind?" I asked him back and the corner of his lip twitched.
"Not at all, that's why I believe this is going better than I thought," he said, leaving his empty cup aside.
"Ask me what you want so bad to ask me Renesmee," he told me looking at me deeply into my eyes, something told me that he would tell me the truth, no matter how little he knows me or how it could put his sister in danger.
"It's Nessie," I told him, instead of asking the question I wanted so bad to ask, and I knew that I startled him by the look on his face.
"Wh-what?" he stuttered.
"I prefer to be called Nessie," I said with a smile. "Now give me your hand."
"You are very straightforward with your flirting," he said, making me blush again. The blushing thing is getting a little old…
"I'm not flirting," I stated. "I just want to ask you the question."
"And why do you need my hand if is not an excuse to touch me?" he inquired, with a dazzling smile that made me wonder how come a guy as cute and funny as him was always alone and I shove that line of thought to the back of my mind, it was not a good idea to be thinking how cute he was before touching his hand.
"Are you going to give me your hand or not?" I asked, stretching mine, he gave me his but before I touched him I warned him that what I was about to do may be a little shocking at first and he nodded gulping loudly.
He put his hand on mine and I let my thoughts inundate his mind; is your sister a vampire?
He jerked his hand back the moment he heard me and looked at me with wide eyes, nodding slowly and caressing the hand that I touched, like I just hurt him or something.
"How did you do that?" he asked me and smiled, trying to calm him a bit, mostly for my own sake.
"I'll tell you but you have to relax first," I said, pushing my cup of coffee toward him, he took it, breathed slowly and drank slowly, closing his eyes and relaxing notoriously.
"How did you know I wanted to ask you that?" I asked him before explaining anything.
"My sister told me there were people from her kind in my school, she told me she could smell them on me," he answered honestly.
"But you are not one of them," he added. "You're warm, when my sister's touch is like ice, and you can blush and I've seen you eat at the cafeteria, I've been watching you."
"You have?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. "Then why did you think I was going to ask you?"
"Because I believe your sister is like my sister," he told me sincerely. "And the scent was on me the moment you two came to the school."
"Your sister felt only a scent like hers in you?" I inquired.
"No," he said, looking surprised and shaking his head. "She felt a smell she couldn't recognize."
"That would be me," I stated, pointing a finger for emphasis. He opened his mouth to say something but apparently words failed him, so I offered my hand and he took it and I showed him everything – well at least everything I could to explain him how I was born, how I was a hybrid between a human and a vampire and how fast I grow. I also showed him my family, I showed him the way we fed ourselves, I showed him everything he needed to know, leaving behind the gifts some of my family members have and leaving behind the werewolves too.
"That's incredible," he said with awe. "You are one of a kind."
"Hardly," I said with a shrug; I didn't show him our little confrontation with the Volturi, so he didn't get to see Nahuel, another half breed like me. "There's a couple more like me out there."
"You didn't explain to me how come you can show me these things with a simple touch," he pushed.
"It's a gift, I have it since the moment I was born, there's nothing to explain," I said and he finished my cup of coffee as well. "Are you ready to leave?"
"I don't want to go," he said, biting his lip and looking at me intensely. "I'm having fun and it's nice to know someone that knows about my sister. Hey, how did you figure out it was my sister the one that was like your sister?"
"You mean my mother," I corrected him and he nodded. "We did a little background research, we were being cautious."
I stood up and he begged me with his eyes for me to stay and I offered him my hand.
"I need to go, but that doesn't mean we have to stop talking," I said and he took my hand and we went back to school, were my dad must already be waiting for me.
Tell me about your sister, I told him through my mind and he squeezed my hand.
"She was turned a couple of years ago here in Seattle, I was like ten when it happened," he began. "We all thought she was dead, my mom went to the cops and they told her she was probably death and that her body will appear eventually, but it never did..."
"That's a cruel thing to say to a person that's looking for someone they love," I told him and he just shrugged.
"We all thought they were probably right, my sister wasn't a bad person, but she used to spend a lot of time with the wrong people… She eventually started using drugs and get caught a couple of times shoplifting," he released my hand and looked at me with sad eyes. "You have a very vivid imagination."
"I'm sorry," I said, really ashamed, he must saw everything I was picturing in my mind, a faceless girl doing the wrong things... "I still don't know how to block my power."
"It's cool," he said, gulping and looking away. "It just hard to relive all those memories, you know?"
"I can imagine," I replied and squeezed his shoulder. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"I want to, Nessie, I really do," he looked at me, still wearing a sad smile. "But you are the first person I've ever told this and it's not so easy."
"Tell you what," I told him when I noticed we were already in the school's parking lot. "You can leave your story there and finish it tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay," he lifted his hand and put a lock of my hair behind my ear, leaving his hand there longer than needed. "I'm glad you asked."
"I'm glad you answered," I replied, blushing for what felt the hundred times in an hour. "You won't tell anyone about me, right?" I asked, panic setting in realizing what I've done. I told – scratch that, showed – someone I barely know about my truth nature, not knowing the consequences it may bring. Maybe Jacob was right, I shouldn't have done this.
"Why would I want to do that? I promise I won't tell," he reached down and kissed my cheek, turning around and walking away, leaving me there with my hand on the spot he kissed and wishing tomorrow could come any faster.
A/N: So, the truth is out, let me know what you think! :)
Oh uh, I think she likes him and its obvious he likes her!!!!!!
I loved it !

For immediate release: Aug. 22, 2013
University of Colorado Health - Nicole Caputo, 970.237.7112, email@example.com
Researchers from University of Colorado Health's (UCHealth) Research Institute and Colorado State University (CSU) are investigating effects rice bran and navy bean powder have on lowering cholesterol in adolescents.
Dr. Elizabeth Ryan, assistant professor of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences, has been studying the effects of rice bran and dry beans on chronic diseases for many years.
The positive impact of rice bran and dry beans on cholesterol levels in adults has been supported by over a decade of research. However, it has been unknown whether these positive effects will occur in pre-adolescence or children.
University of Colorado Health's Healthy Hearts Club has been studying the cardiovascular disease risk factors (including cholesterol) of fourth and fifth graders for over 20 years. Data shows trends of kids at risk for cardiovascular disease.
Healthy Hearts Club has pulled potential participants from a list of students who participated in Healthy Hearts Club screenings during the 2011-12 or 2012-13 school years. The students are from Galeton, Eaton, Johnstown, Loveland and Fort Collins.
Kids invited to participate do not have cardiovascular disease, but based on their cholesterol numbers at the time of the screening (total cholesterol greater than or equal to 180), they are at an increased risk for developing the disease.
During the month-long study, participants will receive snacks with either cooked navy bean powder, dietary rice bran, navy bean powder and rice bran combined or placebo (no navy bean powder or rice bran included). These snacks
include a banana walnut muffin and a strawberry-pineapple smoothie.
Each participant will eat one snack per day for 28 consecutive days. Cholesterol levels will be checked before and after the study. Participants will also need to keep a dietary food and activity log.
"Our goal, first, is to intervene early before the risk has caused the disease. And second, if this study proves to be successful, it could be used as an alternative to medication for children that do have high enough cholesterol levels that would warrant they be put on medication," said Laura Dvorak, Healthy Hearts Club program coordinator.
If this study and subsequent follow up studies are successful, it is possible that physicians could start treatment by prescribing a diet with bean and rice bran powder in lieu of medications.
This pilot study may establish important new information on rice bran and bean consumption in children and could have a high impact potential for cardiovascular disease prevention, said Ryan.
"It gives us an exciting opportunity to educate families about consuming whole grains and beans for enhancing nutritional status and for overall chronic disease prevention," said Ryan.
We know what the cardiovascular health of children in northern Colorado looks like, it is now time to take the program to the next level and begin studying potential interventions for those children and their families who are at risk for developing cardiovascular disease, said Dvorak.
Both Dvorak and Ryan are excited to have two local, leading health organizations (UCHealth and CSU) working together toward these goals.
"I am very excited about these UCHealth community-CSU academic collaborations that will promote public health of our young people locally and that have promising implications for families nationally and globally," said Ryan.
For more information, please call 970.624.5297.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

During the 2013 tax season, Tax Help Colorado provided free tax preparation assistance to more than 9,200 individuals. In addition, it processed 236 prior-year returns, bringing the total number of returns prepared to 9,444, which is a 35% increase over last year. Tax Help Colorado helped families claim more than $18.5 million in tax refunds in 2013, including nearly $6.8 million from the Earned Income Tax Credit, and it saved low-income taxpayers nearly $2 million in commercial tax preparation fees.
The 18 colleges participating in Tax Help Colorado operate 26 free tax sites statewide, where hundreds of IRS-certified students prepare and e-file tax returns free of charge for low-incometaxpayers. For a listing of our 2014 tax site locations, including addresses and hours of operation, please click here.
The following colleges currently participate in Tax Help Colorado:
Tax Help Colorado launched in 2007 at the Community College of Aurora, with CCA students taking the income tax class in the fall semester and operating a free tax site on the Lowry campus in the spring of 2008. Between 2008 and 2013, 18 more colleges joined the program, including two four-year colleges. In addition, high school students from at least three high schools operated free tax sites on their campuses or at community college locations.
To participate in Tax Help Colorado, students at partner colleges take an accredited course on income tax preparation during the fall semester. This course gives them IRS certification to do income tax preparation. In the spring semester, the IRS-certified students operate free tax sites at their colleges, for which they receive college credit. Trained volunteers from the community sometimes work at the tax sites as well. Community colleges were chosen as Tax Help Colorado partners because they have campuses across the state, including rural areas, which allows the service to be available statewide.
The college students that participate in Tax Help Colorado receive real world experience preparing tax returns, which is attractive to potential future employers. Participating in the program also offers students exposure to careers in the accounting field, and it offers them a strong community service experience.

With a nickname like "Boo" you would think people might have second thoughts about you. Well that is definitely not the case for Cristoval Nieves. A nickname that his parents gave him as a youth, this young hockey prodigy has been drawing NHL scouts over the hills and to the woods of New England rinks for the last two seasons.
The Baldwinsville, NY native has been honing his game under the watchful eye of former NHLer and Michigan Wolverine alum, Matt Herr, at the Kent School (CT). Nieves is set to embark on his collegiate career this fall in Ann Arbor under legendary coach Red Berenson (the same coach Herr played for in the mid-late '90s and won two NCAA national titles).
There have been questions if Nieves made the proper decision for his career by returning to 25-game schedule of his prep school. But the decision paid off, as Nieves jumped up four positions on the Central Scouting Services (CSS) rankings from the mid-term point in January to their final grades in April. Nieves was originally slotted in at 31st but impressed enough scouts to find himself inside the top 30 for North American skaters (he was ranked 27th). This may be a bit of a surprise after a sub-par season by Nieves' standards – he scored just four goals in 18 games, along with 25 assists.
All along Nieves knew going back to Kent for his senior year would pay dividends, as Herr followed the same path in his own career at the Hotchkiss School (CT), and of course at Michigan. Nieves has remarked that Kent would take his game to the next level with superior coaching.
What scouts and coaches are drawn to in his game is his skating ability. Standing at 6-3 and 185 pounds, Nieves still has that explosiveness in his stride along with being very agile and balanced. He plays a strong and physical game along the boards which is something he has developed in his tenure at Kent. The vision, playmaking, creativity, and hockey sense are aspects that have been there since the younger days with the Syracuse Stars.
Nieves made a good choice in joining the Indiana Ice of the United States Hockey League (USHL) back in March for a few weeks to please scouts. In a league which is considered a step up from the New England prep circuit, Nieves managed to post respectable numbers in 13 games played – two goals and 10 points.
Knowing that Yost Arena would be his home in the fall, Nieves went back to Kent to finish out his schooling to be on track for graduation.
Some have compared his game to Joe Thornton, while Nieves himself prides himself on the play of current New Jersey Devil star, Zach Parise.
