See thousands of photos in Jones' ongoing project
* * *
The face of Omaha is black and brown, tan and white.
The face of Omaha is young and old, topped with blond hair or wire-gray hair or orange and blue hair.
The face of Omaha has earlobes stretched around big discs, mouths missing baby teeth and eyes framed by black-rimmed glasses.
The Face of Omaha is the name of a local amateur photographer's project, comprising some 3,000 faces. You can see these faces right now on — where else? — Facebook.
For three years, Atiim Jones, a lab tech and self-taught photographer, has taken his Nikon to the Old Market. He watches you and me and that random tourist walk the brick streets. He points and shoots, and when the face is identifiable, he asks for permission and then posts the photos online.
Peer into this mirror and you will see the human mosaic that is Omaha: the black violinist with a white beard, the white bartender with a goatee, the blond-haired girl in her plaid Catholic school jumper.
The faces are expressive and reflect so many experiences that you wonder what their stories are.
This is just it: The portraits leave you hanging.
They are not self-portraits taken when running onto the College World Series ball field or with Pope Francis. Technology and social practice have made self portraiture so common that Oxford Dictionaries recently christened "selfie" an actual word. You can now use it in Scrabble.
Atiim is not anti-selfie. He said it's important to be proud of who we are and what we are doing.
Yet Atiim doesn't take self-portraits. Of all the photos on his Face of Omaha Facebook page, there is just one of him, taken about 20 years ago by a friend. Atiim is jumping. He looks exultant. But the image is buried with all the others.
"I'm not very fond of my own picture," he explains.
Maybe it's because he was bullied as a kid. It wasn't easy being the black boy in east Omaha who liked books, he said.
Maybe it's because he doesn't see himself now as all that interesting. He spends his days sterilizing lab equipment at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, a job that, for the record, he likes because it provides a paycheck and keeps his mind open for his creative pursuits after-hours.
Or maybe it's because he's so focused on the world around him.
Atiim loves spending his free time in the Old Market, getting behind his Nikon and searching for moments and faces.
We scroll through some on his Facebook page:
"That's Kaylee," he says of a young woman with what looks like a jacket wrapped around her face. It is raining. She stares hard at the camera, unsmiling.
Atiim explains that Kaylee Shea drives a horse carriage around the Old Market. He has photographed her before, and on this day, he popped in front of her and said, "Hey, Kaylee," and took this picture.
Most of his photographs are tight mug shots focusing on the face. But Atiim widened the lens on some for sentiment or message or both. Here's a toddler walking hand in-and with his mother. Here are two women walking hand in hand. Here's a street musician showing a boy how to draw a bow across the strings of his violin. Here's the same musician reaching for his violin in front of a sign that reads: "Steps away from the trendiest restaurants, fashionable shops and unique galleries."
For awhile Atiim focused on shooting the homeless and showed me a dramatic portrait he'd taken of a man about his age named Marquis.
"He suffers from chronic schizophrenia and depression and has been out of contact with his family," Atiim said. "He was the most charming person. His address was, 'Hello, sir.' and 'How are you doing.' Very polite."
Atiim has never formally studied photography. He is self-taught. He credits his late sculptor father, Luther Jones for passing down a creative hunger.
Atiim satisfies that hunger in the Old Market. He is drawn there for the architecture, the lighting and the array of people, who typically don't mind being photographed.
Atiim says he takes selfies all the time. Not ones that meet the Oxford Dictionaries definition. Not the ones that you or I take.
In the portraits of others, Atiim says he sees himself.
Maybe if we spent more time looking outward, we too would see ourselves reflected in the faces and experiences of others. We might empathize more. We might understand.
Then we might be less likely to see a face so different than our own and think: "Other."
We might see that different face and say: Me. Myself.

What is HIE?
Fast Facts about Health Information Exchange
- HIE is both a verb and a noun.
- HIE as a noun: A health information exchange (HIE) refers to an exchange network or an organization that operates a network that connects the electronic health information systems of different health care providers. HIEs enable those providers to share clinical and demographic data of patients they have in common. For instance, a primary care physician may share a patient's data with that patient's cardiologist.
- HIE as a verb: Health information exchange is the actual transmission of health information. There are multiple types of HIE, including Direct, XDS, Exchange and custom HL7.
- HIE efforts are supported by Health Information Organizations (HIO). HIOs provide the governance structure for HIEs. There are numerous regional HIOs, also known as RHIOs.
- HIE may be driven by certain types of stakeholders (e.g. clinicians, hospitals, labs, Rx, patients, public health, payers, etc.), may be geographically-bound (e.g. city, region, state, nation) or may be population-bound (e.g. underserved populations, veterans, integrated delivery networks).
- HIE participation results in numerous benefits, including:
- Increased quality
- Improved outcomes
- More informed policy
- Increased value of health information
- Decreased cost of care
- Decreased investment risk

The Aces led 4-0 early and took a 10-5 lead into the eighth, but the River Cats clawed back with five runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth to take a 12-10 lead. In the home half of the ninth, though, a Taylor Harbin sacrifice fly and a two-out, run-scoring single by David Winfree knotted the game at 12-12.
In the 10th, Sacramento re-took the lead at 14-13 on a run-scoring ground ball off the bat of Michael Taylor. In the bottom half of the frame, though, Harbin singled home the tying run and Adam Eaton drew a bases-loaded walk that chased home the game-winner.
Bryan Woodall (1-1)—Reno's third reliever of the night—earned the victory, despite surrendering the go-ahead run in the 10th. Starter Zach Kroenke allowed five runs—two earned—on six hits over 5.1 innings of work.
The loss fell to Sacramento's Neil Wagner (1-1), who allowed the tying and game-winning runs in the 10th.
At the plate for Reno, seven Aces registered a multi-hit effort—including 4-hit games for Winfree and Konrad Schmidt. Jake Elmore hit a solo homer in the fifth, his first of the season.
The series comes to a close on Tuesday afternoon at Aces Ballpark. RHP Joe Martinez (0-1, 4.42 ERA) gets the nod for Reno, and LHP Fabio Castro (1-1, 2.40 ERA) counters for Sacramento. First pitch is set for 1:05 p.m. PT, and fans can purchase two tickets, two hot dogs and two sodas for only $22.

Health Plan Identifier
The regulation requires health plans to obtain an HPID by November 5, 2014, with small health plans having an extra year until November 5, 2015. Physicians will be required to include the HPID in claims and other HIPAA transactions on or after November 7, 2016.
In addition to the HPID, a separate Other Entity Identifier (OEID) was also adopted and will be used by benefit managers, rental network preferred provider organizations (PPOs), and third-party administrators to identify themselves in electronic transactions, which will further improve transparency for physicians. Use of the HPID and OEID are expected to result in up to $6 billion dollars in savings to the health care system, the vast majority of which is expected to accrue to physicians.
The AMA was instrumental in getting HHS to require a more robust identifier than originally proposed. Initial HHS proposals just called for using the number in routing transactions, however, the AMA successfully argued that this would limit the utility of these numbers. The expanded use of the numbers outlined in the final rule will better help physicians and their staff understand who is paying them by building a foundation for a "one-stop, automated billing process."
The AMA continues to encourage HHS to adopt two critical pieces to further increase transparency – a patient-specific benefit plan identifier and a standard fee schedule identifier format. The focus of the HPID must be shifted from the payer-centric system of today to a system that provides patients and their health care providers with the information they need to know to navigate each encounter. This will enable consumers to truly shop for health insurance like they do for other major purchases, and eliminate the extraordinarily high administrative overhead physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers incur today as they grapple with the multitude of different systems the various health insurers have established.
Just as physicians and other health care providers must be clearly identified on all health care transactions, health plans and their agents must also be if we are ever to fully automate the administrative aspects of the health care system. The AMA calls on the health insurance industry to use the opportunity presented by the new HPID to provide complete transparency as to the entity involved in each transaction, whether itself, its subsidiary or a contracted intermediary.

Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Combining the intimacy and charm of a locally significant landmark with highly individualized service, weary travelers find refuge here.
Very cute hotel – We have stayed here twice and each time have enjoyed our stay. The lobby is very cute & the staff has always been very helpful. The rooms are very spacious. Though, they are rather dark and the furniture isn't what you would expect after being in the lobby. The beds are very comfortable. The location cannot be beat for location to the plaza.
Wonderful mother-daughter trip – My daughter and I decided to take a "Jazzy" little trip to Kansas City and stay at the Raphael Hotel. When we arrived at the hotel we found all our requests had been fulfilled as to room size, floor, and a full view of the river and Plaza shopping area. The room was well appointed and the staff couldn't have been more charming. The hotel's convenience to all the places we wanted to visit was invaluable. We'll do it again. Thanks Raphael!

Great Small Place -- Feels like the '50s never left – Wow. I found this place on a whim, noticed it one day as I was showing an old friend was the Old St. Joe's used to be. We pulled in for iced tea. Had a light supper, and man what a wonderful plate of food. Looked and tasted like Momma made it. Went back a second time, really late in the evening, asked before we sat down if it was too late, the waitress said, of course not. This was great. Had another satisfying meal. My husband recommends the port chops, me the fried chicken, but I've heard their deserts are to die for. Looking forward to my next visit. Definitely worth your while.
Best kept Secret in Louisville – This is my nhood resturant. Great prices and everyting on the menue is great. Dont miss the club sandwich or chicken. If you like old fasiond chicken livers oh man. Super pies too. Its a small place so get there early you will be pleased.
Great homestyle food – Don't miss the fried chicken or the pound cake. Incredibly low prices. When out waitress found out we were really thirsty after being at the fair she brought a pitcher of ice water and left it at our table. The atmosphere was cozy and old fashioned.

Any published writer who was born in Indiana or who has lived in Indiana for at least five consecutive years is eligible for nomination. A nine-member, statewide award panel will select winners in three categories from the publicly nominated authors:
In addition to a cash prize, each author's Indiana hometown public library will receive a grant of $2,500 from the Library Foundation.
Nomination forms are available until March 21 at www.indianaauthorsaward.org. The nomination process is quick, easy and free of charge. Complete information and eligibility guidelines are included on the nomination forms. Authors previously nominated in the past five years will be considered again for the 2014 Award. To provide additional comments for a previously nominated author, email email@example.com.
In October, The Glick Fund, a fund of Central Indiana Community Foundation, announced that it was renewing funding support for the Indiana Authors Award for the next five years. "We are so pleased to continue these awards that bring recognition to the talented authors (and future authors) in our state," said Marianne Glick, an advisor to The Glick Fund and board chair for the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Family Foundation.
The goal of the Award is to elevate the written arts in Indiana, inspiring Hoosiers' love of reading and drawing greater attention to "home-grown" literary greats. The award celebrates authors whose quality work has made, or has the potential to make, a lasting public impact.
The Indiana Authors Award invites involvement beginning with the nomination process and continues throughout the year with outreach to organizations serving readers and writers and an interactive website, culminating with a day of free public programs and a ticketed Award Dinner on Oct. 25, 2014, at the Central Library in Indianapolis.
Last year's award dinner raised nearly $78,500 for the Library Foundation. At the dinner, Michael Martone was presented with the National Author award, while James H. Madison received the Regional Author award and Mike Mullin received the Emerging Author award. These authors, as well as their hometown Indiana libraries, each received grants ranging from $2,500 to $10,000.
To submit a 2014 nomination or to learn more, contact The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation at (317) 275-4700 or visit www.indianaauthorsaward.org.

A collaborative research team led by Stevens Institute of Technology professors Dr. Stefan Strauf and Dr. Eui-Hyeok (EH) Yang has published two publications about the new wonder material graphene in the latest issue of Applied Physics Letters. Their article, "Determination of edge purity in bilayer graphene using μ-Raman spectroscopy," reports a novel technique to determine the fractional composition of edge states in graphene, which is of importance for future development of nanoelectronic devices. In a second article titled "Aperiodic conductivity oscillations in quasiballistic graphene heterojunctions" the team has demonstrated that carrier transport in a field-effect transistor made from graphene is governed by the phenomena of Klein-tunneling, even in the presence of materials impurities.
Both articles have also been selected for the Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science and Technology.
Dr. Strauf is director of the NanoPhotonics Laboratory at Stevens Institute of Technology and Dr. Yang is director of Stevens Nanoelectronics Laboratory and of the multi-user Micro Device Laboratory (MDL).
The research received partial financial support from a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, by an award from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and by access to the clean rooms at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Lab. Learn more about nanotechnology at Stevens on the Nanotechnology Graduate Program web site.
Dr. Stefan Strauf
Dr. Strauf, assistant professor of nanotechnology and applied physics and director of the NanoPhotonics Laboratory at Stevens. His research is focused on nanophotonics and nanoelectronics, with a particular focus on nanostructured devices scaled down to the ultimate quantum limit where one can control and manipulate individual electrons, excitons, or photons. In 2008 he received the Harvey N. Davies Memorial Award for Research Excellence from Stevens.
Dr. Eui-Hyeok (EH) Yang
Dr. Yang is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Stevens, as well as director of the Nanoelectronics Laboratory and multi-user Micro Device Lab. Dr. Yang's research focuses on investigating engineered carbon nanotube and graphene nanostructures and devices for nanosensors/actuators and nanoelectronics applications. Recently he secured an NSF grant to acquire a Nanoimprint Lithography System for Stevens Micro Device Laboratory.

Who knew that basketball could keep young love together? It's been two years since circumstances and opportunities sadly put over 1300 miles between us: I am a 2nd year law student at the University of Miami; she is a graduating Kinesiology student at the University of Michigan. Time, distance and finances have put a toll on the amount and type of quality time that the two of us have been able to spend together, as well as a serious strain on our relationship in general. That has not, however, changed our love for each other and the love we share for our hometown team (all arguments somehow cease just long enough to watch Tayshaun cross over another helpless victim and finish strong at the rack, or to see Chauncey bury another late trey). Both lifelong fans, we often times reminisce about where we were when the Bad Boys were terrorizing the East years ago, and how we have remained true fans throughout the rough (and Teal) stretches of the '90s. We love our team. Recently, a particularly difficult patch sent me searching for something for us to come back to as common ground. A trip to Ticketmaster and a host of travel sites later, I was on a plane bound for Motown to see my baby and the Beasts of the East in living color. After what seemed like the world's longest flight and days of delay at the airport, I finally grabbed my bags, caught a ride from a friend, and surprised my love at her doorstep bearing three gifts: flowers, a ridiculously large and cheesy smile, and tickets to see the Pistons tangle with the 76'ers in what would be her very first live game. Like true fans, we donned the home whites of two of our favorite players - Prince, for her, and 'Sheed for myself - and made it out to the Palace and into our seats just in time for the pyrotechnics from the intros to scare her half to death. We had a ball, and considering we hadn't seen each other for months prior, we loved every second of being together and watching our squad do what they do best. As Rip stole the ball and ran down court for a flush to seal the game, all of our worries and problems seemed to fade away. Things have since gotten better, and though not perfect, my impromptu trip back home served as a turning point for our relationship. We love each other, we love our team, and we know that all things happen for a reason. Who knows, you might even see me on the scoreboard taking a knee one day...why not? The Pistons clearly helped keep us together, so it would only be right for me to let them share in our joy and happiness!
The PISTONS Helped Keep Us Together!

Rumours about the possibility of Apple announcing a new iPad model in January remain strong, and now MacRumors is reporting on a story in Digitimes that states that, according to industry sources, the new iPad will have five new features, namely it will have FaceTime video calling, be thinner and smaller in size, have a USB port, Retina Display technology that will enhance image and colour output and a 3-axis gyroscope.
Its difficult to know quite what to believe about this. The gyroscopes, FaceTime and Retina Display screen all sound very likely and very plausible when the second-gen iPad does eventually surface, although Im still not sure iPad owners want two cameras or even one on the device. Thinner and lighter I can also believe, but as for smaller? Not so sure. Steve Jobs himself has only recently shot down in flames the idea of a 7-inch iPad, so its hard to believe that the new one will be smaller than the current version. And as far as the USB port is concerned, as MacRumors says, Apple has always used the dock connector for charging and syncing iOS devices, which has the benefit of giving them some degree of control over accessories, much more so than a generic USB port would. Although MacRumors then argues against itself by saying that its possible Apple has been forced to adopt the USB port because of new regulations passed in Europe imposing a universal USB charging standard amongst mobile phone manufacturers, including Apple.
As ever, watch this space!

"The occasion of sending thank you cards for condolences when the person has not reached the age of 21 is heartbreaking. The quality of your product and designed made it an easier task. She was beautiful and your cards helped me show that. Thank you."
"Please ship a completed order with the printed side showing through the plastic casing. These were gifts, and I had to open each package to see if the printing was correct, as the printed side was facing inward, leaving an opened package for the recipient to wonder if it had been tampered with."
"These thank you notes were beautiful and matched the invitations perfectly, The paper was ver thick and of high quality. The only thing that was a little odd was the font was a brownish color. I don't remember having the option to change the font, but if there is one I would recommend changing the color to a black or gray."
"This design is so adorable and danty. It matches our invitations and just ties our whole princess them together. I've ordered from tiny prints on many occassions and have never been disappointed. I was wondering however, is it possible to have my thank you message printed on the back from you as well?"
"These are super cute, i used a photo from my son's b-day party with all the kids and printed Thank You on the front so he could send them as thank yous! They were perfect and came super fast as usual!! love tiny prints!"

The Frost Fairs: the frozen River Thames in London
The Frozen Thames in London – an Introduction
Between 1400 AD and 1814, the last time it happened, the River Thames in London froze over 26 times. And when it froze solidly, Londoners made the most of it, and the "Frost Fairs" developed.
The tidal, somewhat salty Thames is a deep, fast-flowing river today, but before the Old London Bridge was demolished in 1831, the river's waters were pooled slightly behind the medieval arches, which probably helped the ice take hold.
It was also the time known as the "Little Ice Age", when winters were colder and more severe than they have been since 1800 or so.
The huge, medieval bridge, with houses and shops above the numerous archways, is shown in the background of the woodcut to the right of this text, depicted during the Frost Fair of 1683.
The text accompanying the woodcut says:
An Exact and lively Mapp or Representation of Boothes and all the variety of Showes and Humours on the ICE of the River of THAMES by LONDON During that memorable Frost in the 35th yeare of the Reigne of his sacred Maj King Charles the 2nd
The embankments had not yet been built, either, and so the River Thames was wider, shallower, and probably a little slower.
The Frozen Thames in the 16th century
The Thames froze over several times in Tudor England. Henry VIII is known to have travelled from Whitehall, next to Westminster, to Greenwich by sleigh, along the River Thames, in 1536. Greenwich was one of Henry's favourite palaces; he married there more than once, and his daughter Elizabeth I was born there later in 1536.
In 1564, Elizabeth I practised her archery on the frozen Thames, and boys and men played football on the ice.It was said of this winter:
On the 21st of December, began a frost, which continued so extremely that on new year's eve people went over and along the Thames on the ice from London Bridge to Westminster. Some played at the foot-ball as boldly there as if it had been on the dry land; diverse of the court shot daily at pricks set up on the Thames; and the people, both men and women, went on the Thames in greater numbers than in any street of the city of London.
On the 31st day of January, at night, it began to thaw, and on the fifth day was no ice to be seen between London Bridge and Lambeth, which sudden thaw caused great floods and high waters, that bare down bridges and houses, and drowned many people.
The development of Frost Fairs into full-blown parties
The first frost fair, in terms of full-scale activity and commercial stalls and sports took place in 1608. It was a cheerful and spontaneous affair.
The "Long Freeze" or "Great Freeze" of 1683/4 was one of the coldest-known English, and European, winters. The Thames froze solidly, and the ice was up to a foot deep. The frost began 6 weeks before Christmas, and lasted into February.
Streets of stalls and booths stretched from bank to bank; all London's normal entertainments made their way on to the river.
A whole ox was roasted at Hungerford Steps, bear-baiting and and puppet-shows were held on the ice. Skating and "chair-pushing" events were also set up.
A pamphlet published about the Long Frost included this passage:
A whole street of booths, contiguous to each other, was built from the Temple Stairs to the barge-house in Southwark, which were inhabited by traders of all sorts, which usually frequent fairs and markets, as those who deal in earthenwares, brass, copper, tin, and iron, toys and trifles; and besides these, printers, bakers, cooks, butchers, barbers, coffee-men, and others, who were so frequented by the innumerable concourse of all degrees and qualities, that, by their own confession, they never met elsewhere the same advantages, every one being willing to say they did lay out such and such money on the river of Thames.
John Evelyn, a diarist, said that:
Coaches plied from Westminster to the Temple, and from several other stairs too and fro, as in the streets, sleds, sliding with skates, bull-baiting, horse and coach races, puppet plays and interludes, cooks, tippling and other lewd places, so that it seemed to be a bacchanalian triumph, or carnival on the water
The mug shown in the picture to the right of this text is tiny, less than 2.5 inches high. Engraved on the base are the words, "Bought on ye Thames ice Janu: ye 17 1683/4″.
It is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington.
It is astonishing that something so small and delicate lasted to be put in a museum!
The Great Frost of 1709, probably Europe's coldest winter for 500 years, saw another large-scale frost fair.
Not only rivers, but huge chunks of the North Sea, froze during the terrible cold of the winter, and in France, an estimated 500,000 people died of starvation and malnutrition later in the year. There is a fascinating article from the New Scientist about this winter, called 1709: The year Europe froze.
A London paper said:
The Thames seems now a solid rock of ice; and booths for sale of brandy, wine, ale, and other exhilarating liquors, have been for some time fixed thereon; but now it is in a manner like a town; thousands of people cross it, and with wonder view the mountainous heaps of water that now lie congealed into ice.
On Thursday a great cook's-shop was erected, and gentlemen went as frequently to dine there as at any ordinary. Over against Westminster, Whitehall, and Whitefriars, printing presses are kept on the ice.
The last River Thames Frost Fair
The last proper freezing of the River Thames in London took place in 1814.
The frost set in at the start of January, and by the end of the month, the River was frozen solid – an elephant was led across the Thames by Blackfriars Bridge to demonstrate the safety of the ice.
Hoardes of traders and entertainers rushed to set up shop, and the fair was in full-swing. It was shorter than many, as the solid ice lasted only a week.
Writing 20 years later, Charles Mackay said of the 1814 fair:
Each day brought a fresh accession of pedlars to sell their wares, and the greatest rubbish of all sorts was raked up and sold at double and treble the original cost.
The watermen profited exceedingly, for each person paid a toll of twopence or threepence before he was admitted to the fair; and something also was expected for permission to return. Some of them were said to have taken as much as six pounds in a day.
Many persons remained on the ice till late at night, and the effect by moonlight was singularly novel and beautiful. The bosom of the Thames seemed to rival the frozen climes of the north.
Since 1814
There has, of course, been ice on the River Thames since 1814 – what has not happened since then is the absolute freezing of the water, thick enough to allow lots of activity to take place on the ice.
The photograph to the right of this text shows ice in 1895, with the newly-constructed Tower Bridge in the background.
It looks pretty uneven, and not much fun to walk on!

Throughout the world, solutions to some of the greatest challenges of the day are either nascent or fully thriving. Organized people's movements - sometimes with help from supportive government - are changing the structures which cause violence, poverty, inequality, and environmental destruction. At the same time, they are creating better quality of life in their communities. In other instances, people are preserving ancient cultures where individuals live in relative equity and harmony with other life and their communities, and without expectation of profit.

Hiking to the top of Africa Mother and son conquer
climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro Juli Frey, daughter of Nila and Louie Fostvedt of Vermillion, and her 14-year-old son, Christopher, fulfilled a goal set 10 years ago by summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro in January. At 19,340 feet, ��?Kili� is Africa��?s highest point. Christopher set the African adventure in motion when he was only 4 years old. Climbing his first ��?fourteener� with his family, a fourteener being one of the 57 Colorado mountains with an elevation of at least 14,000 feet, Christopher performed a little math more befitting a high-schooler than a child. Informing his parents that if they climbed as many mountains each year as he was old, they��?d have all 57 completed when he was 11. Once the 57 were completed, he asked, could they climb Kilimanjaro as a reward? Thinking that Kilimanjaro would be an incentive to complete the fourteeners, his mother said yes. Though the fourteeners aren��?t quite finished (51 done), January was an opportune time for Kili. The 16-day trip, with three other hikers, began with a Denver departure on Jan. 10. The tone was immediately set for an interesting, fun-filled trip when glitches developed before the group ever left the Denver airport. The group of five carried nine bags, each weighing 70 pounds. Six of the bags carried donated hiking items for the local African guides. The first eight bags sailed through check-in, but the last was too heavy, filled with hundreds of pairs of Smart Wool hiking socks. So each of the group started grabbing socks and stuffing them into carryon bags. Christopher soon had socks poking out of every pocket, but the final bag cleared check-in. Security was the next step, or obstacle. Having checked everything that couldn��?t be carried on, or so they thought, security would be no problem. One of the group, Max, a local Denver adventure guide, had just finished avalanche rescue training the previous day. Having repacked, he thought he was ready for Africa, not realizing he had forgotten to unpack an expensive ice- and snow-cutting saw from his carryon. Security was not happy, but with some fast thinking and faster talking, Max was allowed to mail the $200 saw home and board the plane. Leaving Denver, the group traveled to Minneapolis, then on to Amsterdam. After 18 flying hours, eight more spent in airports and nine time changes, the group finally arrived in Tanzania. There they met their local guides, and the African adventure began. The first two nights were spent in a hotel in Arusha. Rested from the long flights, it was time for sightseeing and a safari. Then checking to see that everything needed for the hike up Kilimanjaro was ready. Electricity in Africa is supplied with a different voltage than that in America, so before leaving Denver, adaptors had to be purchased. The first morning in the hotel found Christopher charging up his IPod, apparently without incident. So Juli decided it was safe to plug in her hair dryer. Coming out of the shower, Christopher asked if the dryer was working OK. ��?Not a lot of air coming through, but it��?s working,� Juli replied. ��?Well, Mom,� said Christopher, ��?it says right here that for hair dryers, you have to flip this switch.� And he did. Just like that, the hair dryer died. Along with all the electricity to the rest of the hotel. Juli was sure she heard the hotel staff whispering: ��?Great, the Americans are back.� The day was spent on a safari through Maru National Park. So many animals, so close ��? unbelievable. Like having Wild Kingdom unfold in front of you. With the hike beginning the next morning, it was an early return to the hotel in Arusha, an early dinner and bed. There are three hiking routes up Kilimanjaro, according to the local guides: Water Route ��? nine days and you stay in huts. Beer Route ��? seven days and you stay in tents. And the Whiskey Route ��? five days and parts of the climb are rated technical. The group chose the Beer Route. The hike was to start at the Machame Gate, with the intention of meeting the porters there at 11 a.m. But in Africa nobody seems to move at a very fast pace. The Denver group met at the gate at 11 a.m., then spent hours completing paperwork and waiting for the porters to get the gear ready. With the group now numbering 18, they began the hike at 2 p.m. A five hour hike through the rain forest ensued, followed by setting up camp after a 5,000-foot gain in elevation. Then a quick dinner and bed. Christopher quickly made friends with the porters, who carried the 30-pound bags each hiker brought with them. With the bags on either their heads or shoulders, the porters carried an additional 20 pounds on their backs. Grateful to the porters for carrying his bags, Christopher took a handful of chocolate candy bars from his pack and gave one to each of them. The porters loved it, and grew to count on Christopher��?s candy bars every night when the hiking was finished. Stepping out of the tents on the second day, the sun just rising and the weather nearly perfect, Juli and Christopher realized their group wasn��?t the only one on the mountain. What they hadn��?t seen in the darkness the night before was about 200 other tents, here at the Machame Hut site, at an elevation of 10,000 feet. More surprising was that they hadn��?t seen any of the other hikers on the trail the previous day. On this day the destination is Shira Hut at 12,500 feet. Hiking out of the forest, the group enters open moorland, and for the very first time, the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro is visible. The hike is hard and hot, straight up a rocky trail. The porters are a Godsend. Before the hike begins, they cook breakfast, then lunch along the way. Before arriving for the night, they have the campsite set up and ready. Dinner is begun, always a hot meal with meat and bread, vegetables and fruit. Every day brought new and different terrain, and each day, when you thought you were through for the day, you had to think again. The guides had a surprise waiting: Rest, then leave your pack and hike higher, to acclimate yourself for the next day, before returning to camp for dinner and sleep. The third day of the hike brought the group to Lava Tower Camp at 15,200 feet. Lava Tower, a tower in the middle of nowhere, is sighted after a day spent above the clouds. The number of tents in camp has dwindled from 200 to 15 or 20; the other hikers are taking the longer route. Lava Tower Camp is higher than Juli and Christopher have ever hiked, but they��?re OK. The nights are cold, and in the morning, frost covers the tents and the down-filled sleeping bags. The cold air was great for sleeping, but left the trail frozen, the rocks slippery. Though Christopher slipped a few times, his boots stayed dry. Part of the day��?s hike was up and around a sheer rock face. The porters managed to do it with 50 pounds on their backs, but for the rest of the group, both hands and feet were needed in order to maneuver the steep climb. A Class-3 climb, inching towards a Class-4, the climb took more than two hours. At the top awaited a reward of a hot meal. Continuing on their way, the next destination was Karanga Valley Camp. The final hundred yards of the hike is straight up, with the last water station at the base. The porters had to make the trip several times to get enough water for the night, so Christopher decided to give them extra chocolate that evening. Karanga��?s elevation is 13,900 feet. Hiking has become harder but sleep comes easier. But on this night, Rich, another of the Denver group, is up all night passing a kidney stone. Noise travels easily through the walls of tents, and no one got much sleep that night. However, Rich was fine the next morning, and ready to continue to the top. The final day before summiting is spent on a short hike to Barafu Hut at 15,350 feet. The campsite is on the side of the mountain, with the tents hidden among rocks, and for those who aren��?t careful, a long fall down the mountain. Not only did the group sleep on the side of the mountain, but they also had to contend with outhouses perched on the edge. Reaching Barafu early, the group ate lunch as they enjoyed the spectacular scenery. After lunch, more acclimating with a climb to 16,000 feet. Everyone seemed fine, and the guides reassured them that they��?d be ready to summit in the morning. Before turning in early (8 p.m.), Juli and Christopher prepared layers of clothing for a 3 a.m. wake up, the hike to start an hour later, without porters. On summit day they get to stay in camp and rest up, waiting for your return. The hike to the summit takes you from Barafu to the top of the mountain, the top of Africa ��? 19,340 feet. In thin air that��?s hard to breathe, the hike starts in the dark and you watch as the clouds rise below you. At 16,500 feet, the sun rose. It was a fascinating sight to see the sun rise through a blanket of clouds beneath your feet. At 16,200 feet, with everything seeming to be going smoothly, Juli experienced what the guides thought was an asthma attack. After a rest to catch her breath, one of the guides offered to carry her day pack, and she continued towards the summit. Two more attacks followed, but the will to make it to the peak won out seven and one-half hours later. With rare luck, the peak was empty of hikers, the weather perfect. After resting up, enjoying the craters and the glacier and taking pictures, it was time for the descent. All downhill from here. What took seven and one-half hours to hike up took only two hours to walk back down, the breathing seeming to grow easier with every step. Stopping at Barafu for a couple of hours to eat and pack up, the group continued down to 12,400 feet to Millenium Hut Camp. Hard to imagine that in a single day, you��?ve journeyed from 15,350 feet to 19,340, then back down to 12,400. ��?It was a little hard on my body, and I have never wanted my tent as badly as on that long day of summiting Kilimanjaro, then coming back off the top,� Juli said. Arriving in camp, she called it a day and went right to bed. Christopher stayed up playing cards with the porters and telling jokes, the boy in English and the porters in Swahili. The last day of the hike was a descent from 12,400 feet to Mweka Gate at 5,000, downhill all the way. The rocks are left behind, then the desert. Soon, the rain forest reappears, and finally the Land Cruiser. But that was not the end of the trip. Deserving of rest and fun after such a grueling hike, the group stayed for another four days touring Tanzania. Then a flight for safaris in the Serengeti. On the Serengeti plains, they marveled at the beauty of the migrating wild animals. Watching lions hunt a zebra; hippos fighting; alligators and innumerable monkeys enjoying the day, just to name a few. Later, time was spent traveling through the Masai lands. A fascinating people, the Masai are one of the original African tribes of herdsmen. Living in mud huts with neither electricity nor running water, their status is determined by the number of cattle they possess. ��?We loved the safaris and the beauty of the land,� Juli said. ��?It was a great way to finish up after the hike to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro.� Then, for Juli and Christopher, it was back to Denver, back to work and school. To sharing their experience of a hike many can only dream about. Back to setting goals, getting ready to summit more mountains. Maybe one of the seven Colorado fourteeners they still have left. ��?The experience of being in Africa, summiting Kilimanjaro and spending time with my son, is more than one could hope for in a lifetime. My son and I will both treasure the memory,� Juli said.
