For over a century, the William Sharpless Jackson family played a prominent role in Colorado history. The Jacksons are renowned for their pioneering spirit and benevolent support of Colorado institutions. From William S. Jackson's enterprising involvement with the settlement of Colorado Springs, to Helen Hunt Jackson's progressive writing, to William S. Jackson's tenure on the Colorado Supreme Court, the family has established itself as a role model of the Western ideology. The Jackson's contributions to the historical, economic and progressive spirit of Colorado are documented in the family's papers preserved at the Denver Public Library, Western History/Genealogy Department.
William Sharpless Jackson [I] was born and raised in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He served as an apprentice at the machinist trade in Wilmington, Delaware.

American Music, American Cars
Much like a city with deep roots in Texas music, Cadillac is the luxury car of America planting its tires on American made road in 1902. The collaboration of American music, luxury, technology, art and design is an irrefutable force to be reckoned with.
New luxury sports coupe is Cadillac's most dramatic expression of Art & Science. The interior of the CTS emphasizes technical precision with elegant, hand-crafted details. An integrated center stack design – with a satin metallic finish – blends into the lower instrument panel that sweeps forward and away from front-seat occupants. The hand-assembled center console leads seamlessly into the center stack, providing a sportier "cockpit" feel for the driver and passenger without compromising space.
The powertrain's performance is channeled through a chassis that delivers sports car performance without punishment. The hardware includes an independent short/long arm (SLA) front suspension system, with hydraulic control arm front bushings; and a multi-link rear suspension mounted on a fully isolated sub frame. Also included are four-wheel disc performance brakes, premium steering and limited-slip differential.

Wizarding World of Harry Potter Has Soft Open; Images, Video From Inside Appearing Online (Updated)Fan Events
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Orlando opened its doors this morning for a "soft opening" for those individuals who purchased vacations packages back in February with the opening date of May 28. The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that special Wizarding World package holders were able "to experience the new attraction, which had a two-hour preview Friday morning for customer who purchased a special Harry Potter package at Universal Orlando Resort hotels." The report continues, noting that 'by early afternoon, everyday guests were allowed on the Dueling Dragons coaster. Entry continues to be through temporary construction walls that wind through the future Hogsmeade village. It provided a closer look at the shops and Hogwarts castle but no access. The coaster will be rechristened as Dragon Challenge and will have a new entry via Hogsmeade.'
To see the world found by the Potter films (and books) recreated in real life is breathtaking. I'm sure all the anticipation of getting inside fueled my excitement, but when I finally stepped into Hogsmeade Village, my eyes were wide open (despite being only on 4 hours of sleep) and I could not stop smiling.
While the rest of Islands of Adventure does an adequate job of transporting guests to another world, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is truly immersive. Not only does it make you forget about the real world, it makes you forget you're even in a theme park. Around every corner guests will find something to laugh at, a smiling face to talk with (in character), and… plenty to spend money on.
Ollivander's Wand Shop is the highlight of all of the shop-based experiences. It is not required to pass through the shop to buy a wand. You can simply enter through the Owlry or Dervish & Banges and get one. But if you skip Ollivander's, you're missing a wonderfully magical show. The technology employed in the show is rather simple. A few moving items here, a few lights and sounds there. But it all pulls together, combined with some choice music and acting, to give everyone in the room warm and fuzzies. It is true that around 20-25 people are let in at once and only 1 out of that group is chosen to try out a magic wand as part of the show. But no one else seemed to mind. I certainly didn't. It's great fun to see what happens. The wait will be long at first, but it will be worth it.
Dueling Dragons has been one of my favorite roller coasters for a long time. Now that it is Dragon Challenge, the queue has a much more comprehensive story that leads up to the thrilling ride. Flight of the Hippogriff is a huge improvement over its former Flying Unicorn identity. While the Hagrid-based story didn't totally come across for me (all you get is a few scattered audio cues from Hagrid), the animatronic Hippogriff at the base of the coaster's lift hill is a wonderful touch. Moreover, the ride offers incredible views of Hogsmeade Village and Hogwarts Castle. It's a short ride, but should be enjoyed for the visuals if nothing else.

I'm going to assume that version 1.0 will be like the Star Wars saga where the first ones come after the fact. A black IPA, don't care a ton for them.
A - Dark brown beer with red on the edges. Khaki colored head that left some nice lacing and spots on the sides for a good looking beer.
S - Has your traditional IPA smells such as grapefruit and some slightly tropical fruit. Also has some great earth and floral tones that are quite complementary and unique.
T - Nice hops, particularly the orange and grapefruit notes. The floral and earthy aspect of this beer adds an entirely new dimension to a standard IPA, but manages not to taste too sweet or crystalized like so many other Black Ales, whatever the hell those are. I really like this one quite a bit.
M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
O - One of the better beers of this style I've had, and out of the 16 Pizza Port beers I drank this might have been my favorite one, although Booya Steez is tough competition. Highly recommended.

On-tap at both Pizza Port Carlsbad and Ocean Beach
A: The pour is very dark brown, almost black, with a finger of off-white head.
S: There is just a hint of roasted malt to this, but otherwise it's all hops. Tons and tons of grapefruit and tangerine aroma to this beer. A little bit of pineapple as well as some grass and pine. Really well done.
T: Great hop flavor to this beer. Big, juicy, fresh grapefruit flavor as well as some other citrus notes. Pine bitterness is there as well. Really minimal malt flavor with just a hint of roast and bread.
M: Medium in body with a moderate carbonation and a dry finish.
O: This is how a black IPA should be. Not overpowered at all by the roast/malt.

On tap at Pizza Port Ocean Beach. Described as a Black Strong American Pale Ale, though I think the color is derived from something other than malt as there are no evident malt notes. This is a similar recipe to the Tarantula brewed at Solana Beach a while back. This was brewed at Ocean Beach with the help of an old Solana Beach Brewer. I think I got that right. Served in a tulip.
A: Opaque deep brown with a creamy light brown head. Nice retention and scattered lacing.
S: Very aromatic, with prominent grapefruit and orange accompanying pine resin, earth, and floral notes. Excellent hop aroma. No evident malt characteristics.
T: A nice blend of grapefruit, orange, and pine. Big hop flavor. Bitterness is at a lower moderate level. Alcohol is very well hidden. Finish is smooth with a touch of orange pith, lingering pine, and grapefruit. Dry overall, with no evident sweetness. Bitterness is stronger in the terminus.
M: Upper light to lower medium in body with upper moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel is creamy, sticky, and dry.
Overall: A great hoppy Pale Ale/IPA that is black in color. Recommended.

Not really sure what happened to version 1.0 et al. On-tap at Haymarket, served in a 4oz taster stange.
A - Big creamy tan foam that is persistent and leaves glass-coating lace. Transparent dark brown color with reddish highlights.
S - This doesn't smell as fresh as the other kegs for some reason - I'm guessing it's almost two months old based on the dates of the other reviews. Still a good deal of orange citrus hop character, with a touch of pine, and a mild amount of chocolate dark malt flavor.
T - Hop flavors seem to have faded a fair bit, leaving an somewhat unfortunate collection of pine, earthiness, alpha acid bitterness, slight charred malts, and a bit of astringency. It's actually pretty good for the first few ounces, but becomes unpleasant and fatiguing the more I consume.
M - Active zesty carbonation, medium body, and a sticky resinous finish.
D - I like that this is a "Black IPA" that is basically just an IPA with a darker color and a hint of heavier malt flavor. Unfortunately the actual "IPA" flavors and freshness conspired to make this something I wasn't all that interested in drinking. I'd certainly like a revisit this if I'm in SoCal, but I'd much prefer El Jefe or Ugly.

On tap at Pizza Port Ocean Beach on 6/28/11.
A - The liquid is dark as a porter, with a nut brown body and burgundy highlights around the edges, plus a bubbly beige head that retained wonderfully and deposited tons of thick lacing around the glass.
S - Perfumy hops, candy sugar, licorice and earthy notes comprise the initial aroma, while a hint of brown sugar and citrus fruit emerges as the liquid warmed up a bit.
T - Spicy black licorice appears right off the bat, followed by a candy-like spiciness paired with an earthy bitterness. Reminds me of the type of candy my grandparents used to eat. Hop character is perfumy with light floral notes.
M - Medium bodied with a smooth, oily texture and a hint of bristly carbonation. Finishes with moderate bitterness on the palate.
D - One of the most unusual and unique black ales I've had. this one boasts a distinct perfumy character with plenty of licorice and old-fashioned hard candy characteristics.

Rossignol SOUL 7
Does nearly everything brilliantly. There was a time when I took three pairs of skis with me to the mountains: piste, powder, and touring skis. Each was ideal for their niches, and I really couldn't imagine a day when one ski could do all three. Although I have tested far from every type of ski, the Soul 7 just nails it for me. A terrific carving ski, even/especially on boilerplate pistes, just a dream in powder, crud, breakable crust, and good for touring. If it fails to fit the 'one size fits… Full review

The Black Diamond Convert skis are the Jeep of touring skis. They are comfortable anywhere in any conditions. I have ridden them on fresh powder, breakable crust, icy New England resort trails, and freshly groomed corduroy runs and enjoyed every turn.

Dynastar Cham 97
This is a spectacular ski. I bought a pair in the spring of 2013 for our trip out to Telluride and Silverton. It holds an edge on the groomers, is nimble in the bumps, and held its own on the steeps in the deep powder at Silverton. These skis transformed my skiing, and I would heartily recommend them to skiers who want an all-mountain ski. Full review
K2 Shuksan
Nice ski for the backcountry. I like this ski; it's pretty light and does a fair job to break up crust. It does float, but it's not a real fat ski, only 119, but it's pretty quick. You do have to stay on top of them. I think if you look hard enough you can find a bargain out there. Mine are tricked out for Tele and they are just fine. You can't go wrong for money; check out EVOoutlet or GEARx. Full review
K2 Kung Fujas
Great all-around skis! Awesome grip on the hardpack and enough float to get you through the deep stuff. Even solid in the park. They are a bit heavy, but that's my only gripe here. Used these skis all but 1 day of my 130-day season this past year in Tahoe, and they were great in all conditions. I could have used something lighter for backcountry, but as a resort ski they were flawless. Put some nicks in the topsheet but that is to be expected, skied them hard and they kept up through all. I would… Full review
Black Diamond Aspect Ski
My daily quiver. This ski is perfect to get everywhere every day. You can't go wrong: powder, crud, wind pack, ice, skinning. It's more than a touring ski, it's surprisingly stable at good speed. Honestly, 1 ski that does everything perfect doesn't exist. This is close. Just a fun ski, day in and day out. 176 cm. Mounted with BD O1. I'm 6'2'' 180 pound. I ski everything. Pro patro for 10 years now. When I got the Aspect, I thought I would only use it outabound. It ended up being my favorite everyday… Full review

Supt Christian Bunt, said: "I will not tolerate football related disorder and I expect further arrests to be made. We cannot allow a small number of individuals to threaten the safety and enjoyment of attending a football match.
"We will also be taking a zero tolerance approach on match days where we believe trouble is likely."

The Coalition for Adolescent Girls says that when a girl living in poverty reaches age 12, she's at a crossroads. If she can somehow continue her education and stay healthy, she has a great chance to move out of poverty when she's grown. But if she can't, there is little chance of breaking the cycle.

VIDEO: 'Daily Show' pokes fun at Spitzer, Weiner
"The Daily Show" aired some local election coverage Wednesday night, poking fun at city comptroller candidate Eliot Spitzer and mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner.
Spitzer, who stepped down as governor amid a prostitution scandal, and Weiner, who resigned from Congress after admitting to sending lewd photos to women online, make easy targets for John Oliver.
Filling in for Jon Stewart this summer, Oliver first talks about the comptroller race—or the race for the "most boring job on the planet"—which took a significant turn when Spitzer announced his candidacy last week.
Before Spitzer threw his hat into the ring, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer was considered the frontrunner. Outside of Manhattan, Stringer is relatively unknown, with Oliver referring to him as "Scott somebody-or-other."
Calling him "Comptrol Freak," the show, like many pundits and news outlets, likened Spitzer to Weiner, the "man who name is so perfect for the scandal he was caught up in."
Watch the whole (slightly NSFW) segment above or check out the whole episode.
For obvious reasons, Comedy Central is extremely interested in the comptroller race and Spitzer will appear on "The Colbert Report" Thursday at 11:30 p.m.

Building Research
GSA is dedicated to improving building performance and reducing energy use and environmental and health impacts of Federal buildings. In order to improve understanding of how sustainable technologies and approaches can improve building performance, GSA's Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings conducts demonstration research projects at selected Federal green buildings. These projects allow GSA to:
- test new technologies and sustainable strategies;
- identify best practices that are replicable and scalable;
- integrate data findings into GSA best practices, guidance, and policies;
- identify areas where additional research is needed;
- develop benchmarks and performance metrics for design, construction and operations of the Federal real property inventory;
- disseminate research results government-wide and beyond.
Section 491 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) calls for GSA to initiate evaluation of at least one Federal facility, civilian or military, each year from FY2009 through FY2014. These Federal facilities serve as research learning laboratories and provide lessons learned that advance understanding of high performance green building performance. The specific aspects of building performance to be evaluated will be determined in partnership by the facility managers and the research team. The first demonstration projects include these focus areas:
- building energy use (overall, by subsystem, and by specific components such as data centers as well as occupant behaviors),
- water use,
- indoor environmental quality,
- emerging technologies and practices (such as green or vegetated roofs), and
- workplace functionality.
These studies go beyond initial design, construction and procurement decisions to focus on how technologies and approaches are working at different stages of the building life cycle, encompassing building diagnostics, post-occupancy evaluations, and management or operational effectiveness. GSA will use information and data obtained from the demonstration research projects to update existing building performance data, specifications and standards, inform Federal building professionals and selected green building industry sectors, and support ongoing Federal efforts. A technical report for each project will summarize findings of the building investigation, including lessons learned, areas for improvement, and recommendations for research, policy, and programmatic changes and specifications and standards. Additional communications and outreach means will be employed to educate the Federal sector and facilitate learning and better practices aimed at field personnel based on the results of this research such as best practices, webinars, and courses materials.
The site of the 2010 demonstration project was the EPA Region 8 Headquarters in Denver, Colorado. This project included multiple research studies with collaboration between GSA, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Environmental Protection Agency, and the DOE national laboratories.

A major sex scandal is unraveling at the Lakeland Police Department. FOX 13 has obtained a report from the state attorney's office that details a near-three-month investigation into sexual allegations that stretch back as far as 2005.
FULL REPORT: http://content.foxtvmedia.com/wtvt/html/misc/LPD062513.pdf
Investigators say, over a seven-year period, at least 10 officers in the police department were engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior -- sometimes while on-duty -- with a female city employee.
Five of them are supervisors and ranked members of the Lakeland Police Department.
The female employee -- a married mother of two -- told investigators that most of the encounters were consensual, but some were against her will. The state attorney's office says some of the officers have confessed to the allegations.
"Do I feel like this is a case of them not being able to trust me? No, I feel quite the opposite," Chief Lisa Womack said at a press conference Wednesday morning. "This was brought forward over my watch, and actually though it's unfortunate we have to deal with it, no I actually think it's the opposite – that I was the one it was brought to finally."
The encounters happened at various locations, including the police department, city buildings and even police vehicles, according to the 59-page report.
However, no criminal charges will be filed because of the length of time since some of the alleged encounters and the lack of any preserved physical evidence, the state attorney's report stated.
"We find the conduct of a number of sworn officers including some officers of rank, to be at best a waste of taxpayer dollars. At worst, their actions indicate a moral bankruptcy that exists amongst some individuals within the ranks at the Lakeland Police Department," the report concluded.
The city and police department held its press conference Wednesday morning, with both Womack and City manager Doug Thomas speaking to reporters.
"I'm saddened and surprised that many of the individuals in the investigation include several well-known personnel in the Lakeland Police Department, Lakeland Fire Department and other city positions," Thomas said. "I'm extremely disappointed in the alleged behavior that will undoubtedly tarnish not only their personal and family reputations, but also that of the entire municipal workforce who faithfully serve the public with dedication and pride throughout their careers."
Some of the officers involved are on administrative leave; others are still working in different capacities. The department is going through its own investigation, and it could take months to sort everything out.
Perhaps no one is more outspoken than the man in charge of the investigation that uncovered the alleged sexual improprieties, State Attorney Jerry Hill.
The sex scandal is just the latest bomb to hit the department in recent weeks.
"You gotta stop compartmentalizing and say at some point and say this is the big picture of what we're dealing with in Lakeland. If the Lakeland (city) manager and commissioners are happy with that, so be it," Hill said.
It seems Hill is not. It appears that he stopped just short of saying the Lakeland Police Department needs a new chief.
"The man that hired her has to take an objective look at this thing," Hill said. "If he is not willing to do that, there is not going to be a change."
Chief Lisa Womack is defending herself and her department.
"There is not a culture of corruption here," she said. "There is a culture of professionalism, and we are doing everything that we can . Every time something has been brought to my attention, it has been dealt with appropriately, and this will be too."

MANKATO, Minn. —
The holidays are over, including the one on your paychecks. Chalk that up to the fiscal cliff deal.
About 160 million Americans will take a 2 percent payroll tax hit in 2013 after Congress declined to extend the "payroll tax holiday" in effect the past two years.
As a result, Americans this week are seeing a tax on their paychecks rise from 4.2 percent to 6.2 percent.
Although the increase will pump more money into a debt-wracked government that was losing $120 billion a year with the lower tax rate, economists say the move could strip the economy of $115 billion in disposable income this year as people, particularly in the lower-income brackets, cut back on spending.
The tax increase figures to hit hardest those living check to check who can ill afford the 2 percent setback.
"Obviously, the less you make, the more it's going to hurt," said Alex Swanson, an accountant in Minnesota.
He said the pinch will be sharper for those who haven't received yearly cost-of-living raises that help mitigate effects of the higher tax.
The 2 percent hike means that a person earning $30,000 will receive nearly $600 less this year, someone making $50,000 will receive about $1,000 less, and someone earning $113,000 will take a $2,200 hit.
The payroll tax funds Social Security. The pay-in percentage was lowered a couple of years ago as an economic stimulus measure aimed at freeing up more spending money for Americans.
Many employers have or will take steps to give employees a heads-up prior to the "surprise" in their first 2013 paychecks.
"We've talked to some employees, but not all of them. We've just been waiting to see what would happen," said Lee Masters, accountant for Agristrand, a 48-employee building materials manufacturer in Mankato.
"For people living on tight margins even a small $25-$50 change can have a big effect. It's a serious concern for our community," said Phil Claussen, director of Blue Earth County Human Services in Mankato.
Details for this story were provided by Brian Opanja, a reporter for The Free Press in Mankato, Minn.

Sussex Police hail Albion v Palace match work a success
8:27am Thursday 29th September 2011 in News By Neil Vowles
Video: The policing of Albion's match against Crystal Palace has been hailed a success by the city's police chief despite fights breaking out at three railways stations.
A total of 28 people were arrested as fans clashed at Brighton, Falmer and Lewes, with yobs taunting opposition supporters, throwing objects, urinating on rivals and brawling.
But police warned yesterday more people would be arrested in connection with the violence.
Among those arrested were a 41-year-old Seaford man arrested at Lewes Station on suspicion of assault and a 29-year-old Hove man arrested outside the ground for the same offence.
Some fans had criticised the move by police not to keep Palace supporters in the ground after the final whistle and not to force opposing fans to take separate trains back into Brighton.
Chief Superintendent Graham Bartlett said the moves had been considered but were not operationally possible, despite there being 200 officers on duty.
He added: "Overall it was very successful.
"There were more police officers than we have had before and there were only three seats of disorder throughout the whole night from 2pm to midnight.
"There will always be lessons to be learnt when policing big events at new venues.
"I don't anticipate we will see that level of policing for a Championship game again this season but you never know if the intelligence changes."

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- During his State of the State address Wednesday, Governor Pat Quinn proposed that, over the next four years, the state raise the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour.
"Nobody in Illinois should work 40 hours a week and live in poverty," said Governor Quinn.
Director of Parks and Recreation for Fon Du Lac Park District, Brad Smith, hopes lawmakers think long and hard about the idea before moving forward.
He said the park district has more than 200 seasonal employees who make minimum wage or slightly more. More than 150 of those employees work at Splashdown water park.
Smith said if minimum wage goes up, the park district will have to increase prices across the board to make up for it.
"We're talking about up to $1.75 an hour more, when this is completed. We have an average of 35 employees, lifeguard employees, on the deck at one time, so it's going to be a substantial increase in our payroll," said Smith.
Meanwhile, Frank Abdnour, owner of the Spotted Cow, said this increase will make it harder for small businesses to compete.
He said of his 20 employees, about 15 are high school or college-aged and make minimum wage or slightly higher. To offset the payroll increase, Abdnour said he would likely have to raise prices and maybe eliminate a job or two.
"On top of escalating fuel costs and escalating food costs, it's just another hurdle that you need to deal with. Along with rising workers' comp insurance and Illinois is one of the highest workers' comp insurance states there are too," said Abdnour.
Spotted Cow employee Abby Fabish is a college student and makes slightly more than minimum wage. She said she sees both pros and cons to an increase.
"I don't know if that would be a good idea because then the cost of living might go up, so maybe not so high, I don't know. I feel like it would be a big impact because it's a large jump from where it is right now," said Fabish.
Leaders of both the Illinois Chamber of Commerce and the Illinois Retail Merchants Association say they oppose the measure, as well.

Politico's Thomas & WaPo's King Claim Santorum 'Pandering' to Racist Whites in GOP
Appearing as a panel member on Friday's Inside Washington on PBS, Politico's Evan Thomas - formerly of Newsweek - made claims about the existence of "angry, white, middle class" men in the Republican Party who are "seething."
And fellow panel member and Washington Post columnist Colby King accused GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum of "pandering" to a racist view "that black people are just shiftless, lazy and hands out" because of a recent comment in which Santorum appeared to bring up "black people" who receive welfare benefits, although the former Pennsylvania Senator denies that he used the word "black." (Video below)
Early in the discussion, Thomas predicted that Santorum would lose the GOP nomination because of his social conservatism: "This will drag on for a while, and we'll try to gin some excitement into it, but Santorum is a social conservative who cannot beat Obama. And I think enough Republicans are going to figure that out."
The Politico writer soon brought up the subject of angry white men in the GOP: "It's interesting that Perry stayed in because there is still this angry, white, middle class male out there that is a seething force, and Romney is not really their guy. It's not clear who is, I'm not sure, I mean, Santorum for the moment, but in some ways, that is a force to be tapped, and nobody's really found a way to do it."
King soon suggested that Santorum had made racist comments about African-Americans during a recent visit to Sioux City, Iowa. King:
He talked to the audience, and he told them, talking about entitlements, that I don't want black people, to make black people's lives better by giving them someone else's money. Suggesting that black people are just shiftless, lazy and hands out, and the hard working people are white people.
But when you look at the statistics, of course, it blows his thesis out of the water as to who is getting entitlements and who's not getting entitlements. But that pandering that he did in Sioux City is something that's going to haunt him.
Thomas jumped in to complain that "pandering works" because of the existence of angry white men in the Republican Party. Thomas: "Well, except that pandering works, and there are a lot of angry, white, middle class males out there. They're there for somebody to tap into."

If they are coming out with everyone is a racist this early and this often ( my uber lib inlaws just recently called me a racist--- right after they called blacks c--ns and ni--ers--- Whois the racist again? ) then they have lost.
They have lost the 2012 election and they know it. The race card is the last card and they are already playing it--- scratch that-- over playing it.
Just as in early 2009 (Feb) I was getting sick of the Obama is God-Jesus-Cap Sullenberger- Reagan comparisons when it all of a sudden it occurred to me the more they ( treasonous media) trot him out as God, the more it will turn people off. So my wish came true and he dropped like a rock in the ratings into negative territory. Don't believe those poll numbers today--- he is polling in low 30's at best. If you look closely at the sampling the pollsters are still polling Dems by 37-24 margin over Reps when in fact the latest registration is 34-32 Rep vs Dem.
So please David Gregwhorey and Matt Liar---- play and play and play the race card until your NBC brand ( along with MSDNC) brand is so damaged, Comcast will sell to Jane Harman for $1.

And whose grudges are being nursed by Colby Sharpton King? (rhetorical question)
There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." Booker T. Washington

Notice how often race gets raised by liberals since '08???
Submitted by krendler on Sat, 01/07/2012 - 11:11am.
Starting with Obama's emergence as a presidential candidate.
Any time anyone who's NOT in perfect alignment with Obama says just about anything, the MSM finds a way to inject RACE into the discussion as THE ISSUE.
This all began with the 08 Dem primaries. Bill Clinton made a completely innocuous statement about Obama's lack of experience and we were immediately told his statement had dark racial overtones and that he had insulted the black community. Hillary got similar treatment shortly after. Then Ferraro. Obama proceeded to warn the country that those racist Republicans were surely "going to remind you that I'm black."
Bill Clinton was a pariah within the MSM and the black community by the time Obama won the nomination. A certified racist (of course, everybody kissed and made up afterwards).
The race-baiting from the Obama Cultists has been a constant now for 4 years running.

to me that all these white media people bitch more about whites being racist then people in the black community do. Libs have zero to run on in the coming election so, use conservatives as being racist, is their only false and hateful BS. Get some new material you radicals, as this racist junk is 60 years old and extremely booooooooooring

While shoppers were looking at clothing, guns and home supplies at Big R on Saturday, Evergreen resident Fritz Coellen was hunting for a wife — his own, Shirley — who was somewhere in the store.
The Coellens were among the first customers at the grand opening of the 40,000-square-foot store, which offers a wide array of items from greeting cards to chicken coops.
"They've got a good store here," said Fritz Coellen, who came in to buy hardware.
Sierra Knodle — who was crowned Evergreen Rodeo Queen 2015 — is recovering at home after she broke her collarbone in a fall from her horse during the grand entry into the rodeo grounds on Saturday.
The bridle of Knodle's horse broke during the event, which happened before the rodeo performance at 2 p.m. at the Esco Construction Arena.
Knodle, 16, was taken to a hospital by ambulance after the fall. She was back at the rodeo grounds on Sunday, said mom Jennifer Knodle.
While kids play in a grassy field by Evergreen Lake, workers saw and place planks of wood for a new boardwalk at the park.
"This time around, we're replacing the entire boardwalk," said Scott Robson, executive director of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District.
"We're removing it completely down to the foundation," he added.
Although the flooding last fall did some minor damage to the structure, its 20-year age and the wear and tear on the walkway made the replacement necessary, Robson said.
For walkers at the Mountain Area Relay for Life on Friday night, walking for 14 hours was about raising money to help fight cancer.
It also was about the symbolism of the darkness people feel when they are diagnosed with cancer and as the sun rises, the lightness they feel as they complete their treatment.
Yet, still, it was about the paperclips.
Sitting with his wife, Anna Marie, on the terrace of their Evergreen home, Dr. James Jackson talked about the work that has brought him happiness for the past 27 years.
Jackson is the founder of Project C.U. R. E., a philanthropic organization that provides medical equipment to 150 impoverished countries.
Since 1987, the former businessman has traveled to remote areas of the world where medical supplies are sorely lacking or non-existent.
Evergreen's Jim Rohrer is like a rolling stone. After several careers, including a 30-year stint as a Sears executive, he's following a new direction and combining two skills that have served him well — writing and business.
After heated debate and public comment, the Jeffco Board of Education approved a contract for its new superintendent at last Thursday's regular business meeting, lowering the base salary $60,000 from the salary advertised for the position.
Hundreds of volunteers turned out to build trails at O'Fallon Park on Saturday, including a group from Nippon Kan martial arts. It was Celebrate National Trails Day hosted by The Wildlands Restoration Volunteers.
Quartz of appeal
Evergreen firefighters were able to put out a remote, lightning-caused fire on Friday after it was reported by motorists on Interstate 70 near the Floyd Hill exit.
Crews hiked in about 300 yards from the nearest road to the 1.5-acre fire near the U.S. 40 and Beaver Brook Canyon, said Evergreen Fire Chief Mike Weege.
Wet weather helped firefighters keep the fire under control, creating huge plumes of smoke that were reported by motorists on Interstate 70. People near U.S. 6 in Golden Gate Canyon to the north also reported seeing burning trees, he said.

Mr. Jason Clayton - "Family Led by a Loving Father"
"Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." – John 1:12-13 (NIV)
Close your eyes for a moment and meditate on the images and feelings that come to mind when you think of the word "family." Some may see their siblings and their parent(s) on past vacations together or at the dinner table laughing. Others may envision lifelong friends they've had with whom they've entrusted their deepest and most secure secrets. Some of us would see one or two people, while others may see so many they couldn't fit into Hughes Auditorium if you tried to gather them on campus for a family reunion.
Whether your family life has been filled with difficulty or with tremendous joy at this point, may you find peace and joy in the fact that if you've accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior. Then you "are born not of natural descent, nor of human decision…but born of God." You are His child and part of an eternal family that desires the best for you. You are a son or daughter of the One True King. By accepting your Father's true love for you, an abundant and blessed life is available that far exceeds anything you can imagine.
CORNERSTONE: Scripture
- Mr. Jason Clayton, Director of Center for Career and Calling

Yaya Toure and Kolo Toure will not be allowed to join the Ivory Coast late in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations and will miss Manchester City's FA Cup third round tilt against Manchester United as a result. The pair had been hoping that Ivory Coast manager Francois Zahoui would allow them to stay with the Citizens for a couple extra matches before joining the national team just before the tournament begins, but Zahoui has rejected the brothers' request.
FIFA rules dicate that clubs are required to release players two weeks before a major tournament, meaning that all players chosen for the Africa Cup of Nations, which begins on January 21, would have to be released by January 7. Of course, teams could allow players to stay with their clubs if they choose and the Toure brothers and Manchester City were hoping that would be the case, but Zahoui has said no.
"Clubs know the rules," Zahoui told the BBC. "I'm expecting them for the FIFA deadline."
The two will now go to France to meet up with the squad before leaving for a training camp in Abu Dhabi. City manager Roberto Mancini had been appealing for the Toure brothers to at least be allowed to play against Manchester United as he deals with a few injuries and suspensions to his squad. Kolo's absence isn't a huge problem as City are fit at the back, but Gareth Barry is out due to suspension and Owen Hargreaves isn't match fit, leaving a hole in the midfield with Yaya out. That leaves Nigel de Jong and James Milner as the team's only options, but considering United's midfield woes, that could very well be enough.

At the dark and compact B&S Gastropub in Kendall, chef Jorgie Ramos and his crew are pushing out dishes of beer-friendly comfort food with roots in Latin America, the Mediterranean Basin and the U.S. South that taste very much at home in South Florida.
Take the pig tails: crispy, meaty nuggets of humanely raised pork, slathered in a zippy chimichurri sauce.
Or the croquettes: fried balls stuffed with chopped Serrano ham and oozy Manchego cheese, served with a guava sauce that balances their saltiness.
Both show Ramos fresh way with familiar flavors.
There is, however, a mac n cheese schedule that Id be more apt to forgive if its Saturday lobster version had any discernible lobster in it.
Still, Ramos and his dad, front-of-the-house manager Jorge, seem to have taken the best of what worked at their short-lived Pinecrest restaurant, The Joint Bar & Grill. That includes over-the-top burgers like the Hangover (beef, pork belly, fried egg, Cheddar and chips on a pretzel roll) and the Caprese (beef, fried tomato, mozzarella, basil, balsamic marmalade and aioli on an Italian roll).
I enjoyed the Latin burger: a thick slice of chorizo on a half-pound Angus patty, cooked to a proper medium-rare and topped with Swiss, fried sweet plantains and a chimichurri aioli. Each bite was salty, sweet, spicy and beefy, and I couldnt put the thing down. Sweet potato fries had a nice crunch and were seasoned with just enough salt to let their natural sweetness speak for itself.
A big octopus tentacle was finished on the grill and served in a skillet with roasted fingerlings and blistered cherry tomatoes that gave its smoky, briny flavors a pop.
Grilled cauliflower had a slow-building heat from curry spices, cooled by a side of yogurt and fresh mint.
Lamb belly was aggressively seasoned and tender, sitting on a mound of white-bean hummus with tangy tzatziki. The lamb seemed out of proportion to the other elements, getting somewhat lost among the purees.
Like the lamb belly, a few items I ordered at B&S would have benefited from more texture on the plate, a crunch to keep things interesting. Even the fried green tomatoes closer to a pale red were glopped with an onion-buttermilk sauce and honey-spiked sriracha that tasted good but made the breading soggy.
Half a dozen counter seats overlooking the open kitchen allow a front-row view of the action. That can be fun Theres your dinner being made, one cook said to us as another shaped our burger. And it can be awkward, as when a cook burned his hand on a cast-iron skillet. He cooked through the pain like a pro, but winced long enough that we had to ask if he was OK.
B&S stands for Barley & Swine, but the Ramoses transitioned to the abbreviated name after getting a cease-and-desist letter from Barley Swine, a critically acclaimed gastropub in Austin, Texas.
The restaurant lives up the barley part of its moniker with 29 craft beers on draft (there are wines and spirits, too). The strong selection includes many brews that pair well with Ramos gastropub fare, like the lemony Saison from Hinterland Brewery in Wisconsin. But be prepared with backup choices: I was bummed when B&S was out of my first two picks on each visit.
Other hiccups included bathroom doors left wide open during service, exposing our table to an unpleasant view and the harsh glow of fluorescent bulbs. The bathrooms also appeared to double as storage space, with stained chairs and other odds and ends strewn about.
Jorgie Ramos has said that service was a weak point at The Joint that he wanted to fix at B&S. Indeed, servers here are friendly and efficient, quick to respond to requests like extra silverware and to keep drinks flowing.
Lucky for the Metropolis at Dadeland tenants who live above the gastropub, B&S is poised to be a prime neighborhood hangout. Lucky for the rest of us, it could become a regional destination if Ramos keeps the fresh, South Florida-friendly flavors coming.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Judge Michael Risinger is being reassigned from Peoria misdemeanor court to a civil court in the 10th Judicial District.
A Tuesday statement from Chief Circuit Judge Michael Brandt says that the reassignment stems from a note sent to attorneys and court-related attendees on February 20 that references with Risinger's sentencing philosophy.
The note referenced a link between the race of the defendant and how they are dressed. Brandt said that without context or explanation, the note was inappropriate.
Brandt says that Risinger told him that the note was intended to outline circumstances such as the defendant coming from an impoverished background or having a lack of opportunities due to societal racial discrimination. Other circumstances would include dress that signifies gang affiliation.
However, Brandt found the idea of affiliating a person with gang membership based on the way they are dressed problematic.
Brandt said that he found no evidence that Risinger committed any judicial misconduct. However, due to the fact that the note could cause concerns for both a defendant's attorneys and the prosecution, he decided to reassign Risinger, effective March 1.
Brandt says in his statement that Risinger has been cooperative throughout the process.

A note in the summit register laments the "demise of adventure climbing" and complains that Table for Two is a "sport route". I didn't find it to be that exactly, but I'll allow it as there's some nice bolts there.
There are several obvious, long brown streaks on the center-right portion of Table Dome's east face. The route starts on the left edge of the brown streaks, 30 ft. right of Wily Javelina. The first pitch turns the right side of an obvious roof with a bolt 30 feet off the ground. Features can be hard to locate from the base, but become apparent on route.
A set of nuts and single set of cams from blue alien to 3.5 friend should be enough, along w/many runners & 3 or 4 draws. 3 & 3.5 friends are generally useless except on P1 & P4.

Florida State quarterback and Heisman-winner Jameis Winston's BCS Championship got off to a rough start as he looked overwhelmed in the first half of the game against Auburn.
Winston consistently rushed his throws or was forced to scramble, as the Auburn defense repeatedly got into the backfield and broke up play after play.
The bad half got worse when Winston fumbled in the second quarter, leading to an Auburn touchdown, a score that gave the Tigers a 21-3 lead.
Twitter was thoroughly unimpressed with Winston's performance.
Disaster for Jameis so far. Couldn't be worse.—

There is a great deal of misinformation surrounding the Trayvon Martin shooting. Here are some of the most prominent misunderstandings:
Cops returned the gun to shooter George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman, though, still has a valid concealed-weapons permit.
Cops believed Zimmerman had a "squeaky clean" criminal record.
Untrue, according to Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. During an early meeting with Trayvon's father, a Sanford police investigator told him Zimmerman described himself as being "squeaky clean." Trayvon's father "may have misconstrued" that the investigator was merely relaying Zimmerman's claim, Bonaparte Jr. wrote in a public statement.
In reality, Zimmerman had been arrested in 2005 at a UCF-area bar and charged with resisting arrest without violence. He completed a pretrial-diversion program, meaning the case was officially dropped, and he wound up with no conviction on his record. It's not clear when, but police did check Zimmerman's criminal record and know about that arrest.
The cops tested Trayvon for drugs but not Zimmerman.
True, according to authorities. Trayvon underwent an autopsy, the same as in every other suspicious death in Florida, and as part of that, was tested for drugs. Zimmerman was not tested because he was not arrested.
Sanford cops usually call a prosecutor to the scene of a homicide but did not that night.
True, according to police and the State Attorney's Office in Seminole-Brevard. Police talked to a prosecutor by phone that night, but she did not go to the scene. Based on the evidence they gathered that night, police believed they did not have enough evidence to arrest Zimmerman on a manslaughter charge because of his account of what happened and claim of self-defense.
Zimmerman fired twice, a warning shot and a kill shot.
Untrue, according to several witnesses and law enforcement. Two loud bangs can be heard on one 911 call, and family attorneys said last week that that was evidence of two shots, but several witnesses who've spoken publicly about what they heard all describe a single shot. And a source close to the investigation told the Orlando Sentinel just one shot was fired from Zimmerman's gun.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol will be increasing its presence for the Fourth of July weekend and additional troopers will be stationed in the northwest region of the state.
Captain Gary Orluck says special alcohol checkpoints will be held at various locations throughout Williams and McKenzie Counties. Among the additional troopers on the road will be four recent graduates from the highway patrol academy. Those graduates will be looking extensively for travelers driving under the influence. But Orluck says the threat of a DUI is not the only concern when driving intoxicated.
"It is not so much the threat of being arrested but what if you are in a traffic crash and you hurt themselves or somebody else. So it is not worth the gamble to drink and drive or drive impaired. It is just best to make arrangements, have a designated driver and make sure you arrive to your destination safely," said Highway Patrol Captain Gary Orluck.
The increased saturation will last through Sunday.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

It's ridiculously hot today. Of course, on the High Line construction site, that just means things are a little sexier than usual.
A while back, we got to thinking that our office operations should reflect the values inherent in the High Line itself, as well as our own staff's personal commitment to environmental conservation. Recently, two larger non-profits built themselves new LEED certified offices (NYC Audubon Society and the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment). We got jealous.
It's not too late to join us and Alex Feleppa, director of horticulture for the Horticultural Society of New York, for a naturalist walk on the rail yards section of the High Line. The walks are this Saturday, June 7 (there are three sessions.)
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer's office is now taking applications for its 2008-2009 Community Planning Fellowship. The program, open to second-year graduate students in planning, intends to engage planning students in public service and to provide practical educational experience. Part of the Fellowship involves attending a planning seminar, which meets at least four times per semester. FHL's Robert Hammond was a guest speaker at this year's spring seminar.
Friends of the High Line moved offices last month, and our new West Chelsea digs are a bit further from the subway. I've been using my morning and evening commute to get to know our new neighborhood.
Some of you may have seen this story in last Friday's Real Estate section of the Times. While the High Line park will begin at Gansevoort and Washington, few people know that the High Line originally went as far south as St. John's Park Terminal, which covered four riverfront blocks between Clarkson and Spring Streets. (It's now a UPS warehouse.) In the 1960's, the High Line below Gansevoort was demolished, with the exception of the little section of rail running through the Westbeth complex, on Washington between Bank and Bethune.
Yesterday, Jeff and I had the honor of judging the Second Annual High Line Design Competition at the Lab School in Chelsea. The competition is the culmination of a multi-week geometry unit in two of Ms. Rodriguez and Ms. Whelan's math and science classes that uses the High Line as a model for teaching the students about scale, ratio, and area. All of the student's designs for the High Line had to be to scale, incorporate native plants and grasses, and honor High Line planning principals.
More photos after the jump.

Free Maintenance
A number of automobile manufacturers now offer "free" maintenance when you purchase or lease a new car. BMW and Volvo have offered no-cost maintenance for some time, and this year General Motors and Ford also announced free maintenance programs. Just make sure you know what is and is not covered. BMW, for example, will replace brakes and even windshield wiper blades as part of their free maintenance program; Cadillac only covers oil changes, tire rotations, and air filters (in addition to standard warranty coverage, of course).
So when you consider the cost of buying a new car, factor in savings after you make the purchase as well the amount you save could be considerable.
