After court session Monday, Manchester man comes back for charge
Juan Rivera Ortiz, 29, of 421 Manchester St., had failed to appear in court Dec. 13, 2011, for deferred sentence hearings on simple assault and criminal trespass convictions involving the same woman as the stalking charges.
Bail had been set at $50,000 cash/surety Monday, so bail on the deferred sentence hearing issue was set at $500 cash.
The deferred sentence hearings were reset for April 23, the same day as Rivera Ortiz's trial on the drug possession charge.
Alleged ring stealer
An Allenstown woman was arraigned Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a felony charge of receiving stolen property and a misdemeanor of theft by deception.
Ashley Martel, 24, of 35 Fullam Circle, could enter no plea to the felony charge that alleges she had in her possession a gold and diamond ring that she knew was stolen.
She pleaded innocent to the theft by deception charge that alleges she sold the stolen ring, valued at $3,800, to Cash for Gold, 8 Gabrielle St., for $100.
Court documents show police were able to view a photo of Martel and her boyfriend when she sold it. Under the city pawnshop ordinance that went into effect last year, buyers must upload a digital photo of the item and the seller to LeadsOnline within a day and must hold the item for 30 days before selling it.
The documents show the item was sold to the store Dec. 27, but when police checked more than 30 days later, the ring was gone.
A probable cause hearing on the felony was set for April 3 and trial on the misdemeanor was set for April 25. Bail was set at $500 cash/surety.

Urban Meyer estimates Gators have had over 35 cases of the flu
By Post Staff
Note: Thanks to fearless correspondent Kyle Maistri for covering practice today and grabbing these quotes and letting me steal them.
Sunday, Urban Meyer called his staff's reaction to the recent flu outbreak on campus "a panic level of a proportion I have never seen before."
Thursday, Meyer made it clear – he's not kidding.
Meyer revealed two days before the No. 1 Gators face Kentucky that more than 1/3rd of his team has come down with a case of the flu this season.
"I think we've had over 35 cases over the last three or four weeks," Meyer said. "I'm just going to blow the whistle and whoever runs out, runs out."
Two more starters sat out of Thursday's practice with the flu – cornerback Joe Haden and safety Major Wright. They joined three more starters – tight end Aaron Hernandez, running back Jeff Demps and defensive end Jermaine Cunningham – who played with the flu last Saturday against Tennessee and were limited in practice this week.
Monday, receivers coach Billy Gonzales was sent home with a 104-degree temperature, and coached Tuesday's practice with gloves and a surgical mask. And on Tuesday, six more players were held out of practice, including starting linebacker A.J. Jones.
Meyer said he expects Wright and Haden to play at Kentucky, as well as Hernandez, Demps and Cunningham.
"Haden's got to," Meyer said. "Haden don't go, I'm not going."
Meyer said there are two different kinds of sickness afflicting his players – a chest flu and a stomach flu.
"Not that I'm a doctor, but I'm involved in this stuff now," Meyer said. "The guys with the respiratory — they've just been real cautious."
University of Florida officials have estimated that between 25 to 40 percent of the student body will come down with the flu. The Gainesville Sun reported that the UF Student Health Care Center has seen about 450 cases of the flu this fall, and that 97 percent of them have been classified as the H1N1 virus, or swine flu.
To combat the virus, each Florida player has been given a bottle of Purell hand sanitizer, and players were strongly encouraged to take a FluMist vaccine, which is similar to a flu shot.
"Guys are wiping down everything. We're doing everything we can," Meyer said.
Injury update: Senior linebacker Brandon Spikes (Achilles tendinitis) practiced on Thursday and is expected to play against the Wildcats. Wide receiver Deonte Thompson, (hamstring) who did not dress against the Volunteers, was limited in practice but is also expected to play this weekend.

What our clients say
Having relocated from Europe it was definitely a culture shock to do Christmas in the hottest month... and to not be able to collect a real Christmas tree from a road side stall. After checking out the competition for styles and prices I settled on a Christmas Cave tree. It arrived in 3 days which was impressive and is a truly beautiful creation, so lifelike i wait for it to start going brown in January.
I always wanted to decorate the outside of my house with some Christmas lights but didn't know where to start. Flavia from Christmas Cave helped with all the different light options and gave me lots of advice on setting them up safely. Can't wait for next Christmas to set them up again.... though I think its going to be a bit addictive... am already planning some addons. Get ready neighbors! It's on now!
We moved to Melbourne 5 months before last Christmas and were struggling a bit to meet people. For fun we decided to really go for it, decorating the outside of our house with lights then dropping invitations in our neighbours letterboxes to pop around 10 days before Christmas for Glühwein and a sausage. Turnout was awesome and we got to meet all our neighbors,,, I am thinking we have started a Christmas tradition.

Report shows a three-year, improving trend in preterm birth rate.Statewide, FL, November 01, 2011
Florida received a "D" on the March of Dimes 2011 Premature Birth Report Card, but the biggest news is the three-year, improving trend in its preterm birth rate.
"Our state's preterm birth rate has improved this year. We're proud of this achievement and what we accomplished by working together with our partners for stronger, healthier babies," said Julie Samples, ARNP, MSN, March of Dimes Florida Chapter Program Services Committee Chair. "We are determined to continue to find and implement solutions to improve the health of babies, such as improving access to health care coverage, helping women quit smoking, and preventing unnecessary early c-sections, so more babies can get a healthy start in life.
Factors that contribute to preterm birth improved in Florida. It earned a star for:
• Reducing the percentage of women of childbearing age who smoke
• Lowering the late preterm birth rate
Since 2006, Florida's preterm birth rate has dropped to 13.5 percent. The rate of late preterm births is 9.6 percent; the rate of women smoking is 17.3 percent, and the rate of uninsured women is 28.5 percent.
Quality improvement programs are key to lowering preterm birth rates, according to the March of Dimes.
In Florida, March of Dimes supports programs that provide information and support to families with babies in a neonatal intensive care unit. We have grant-funded programs in Hillsborough and Duval Counties that provide education and support to women who have had a stillbirth, infant death, or who have had a baby in a NICU, to help them reduce their risks for future pregnancies. And we have the "Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait" campaign, which is working to prevent non-medically indicated deliveries before 39 weeks of pregnancy. A normal pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but in recent years it has become more common to schedule deliveries early at 37 or 38 weeks.
The United States received a "C" on the March of Dimes Report Card. Grades are based on comparing the state and the nation's 2009 preliminary preterm birth rates with the March of Dimes 2020 goal of 9.6 percent of all live births. The U.S. preterm birth rate is 12.2 percent down nearly 5 percent from the peak of 12.8 percent in 2006.
Preterm birth, birth before 37 weeks completed gestation, is a serious health problem that costs the United States more than $26 billion annually, according to the Institute of Medicine. It is the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and others. Even babies born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and illness than full-term infants. At least 39 weeks of pregnancy are critical to a baby's health because many important organs, including the brain, are not completely developed until then.
The March of Dimes says its 2020 preterm birth goal can be achieved by a combination of activities: giving all women of childbearing age access to health care coverage, fully implementing proven interventions to reduce the risk of an early birth, such as not smoking during pregnancy, getting preconception and early prenatal care, progesterone treatments for women who are medically eligible, avoiding multiples from fertility treatments, avoiding elective c-sections and inductions before 39 weeks of pregnancy, and by funding new research on prevention of preterm birth.
This year, for the first time, a World Prematurity Day will be observed on November 17 by the March of Dimes along with organizations in Africa, Europe, and Australia. An estimated 13 million babies are born preterm and of those one million die as a result of their early birth, according to an October 2009 March of Dimes report on the global toll of preterm birth. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/worldprematurityday.
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

Last night, Peyton Siva and Russ Smith combined to shoot 6-26 from the field, while Gorgui Dieng finished the game without scoring the ball once. No problem, Luke Hancock said, as he dropped 14 points in the second half and 20 overall.
Wait, who?
Exactly. Although the 6'6" junior swingman has played an important role off the bench for Louisville this season, nobody expected him delivering his best performance of the year in the National Semifinals. Already with a short-handed bench due to Kevin Ware's injury, Hancock's performance made it seem like he'd been there before.
Turned out, he kinda has. Before transferring to Lousville, Hancock spent two years at George Mason. For those without an extraordinary 2011 tournament memory, YouTube reveals that this isn't the first time that he's been the hero of a tourney game.
Two years ago, it was George Mason needing a clutch shot to upset Villanova. When Louisville needed him to step up, this time for a huge second half performance, he delivered in the only way he knew how.
His full line: 20 points on 6-9 shooting, 3-5 from deep and 5-7 from the line, while adding four rebounds, two assists and two steals. His most important play doesn't even show up on the stat sheet, when he forced a jump ball with Wichita State guard Ron Baker with six seconds left in the game. The possession arrow gave Louisville the ball, who would extend its lead to two possessions and close the book for the Shockers.
Riding 15 wins in its last 16 games, overall no. 1 seed Louisville losing to no. 11 Wichita State would have a massive disappointment, even with the Final Four appearance. The general media consensus was that the miracle run would end against the savage Cardinal defense, but then the Shockers ripped off a 14-5 run to take a 12 point lead with 14:20 left in the half.
Instead of crumbling, Louisville buckled up. After two huge threes from fellow bench mate Tim Henderson, Hancock would add a couple driving layups. With six minutes left, he hit a three pointer that gave Louisville its first second-half lead. He would add another three, a layup and a split from the free throw line before forcing the crucial jump ball.
His teammates recognized his heroics, as they mobbed him at half-court when the buzzer expired. Hancock was averaging just 6.8 points in the tournament before his outburst.
Hancock started eight of the 34 regular season games, and scored a career-high 22 points against Louisville's 5OT marathon against Notre Dame.
His Cardinals bio says that his favorite moment of his athletic career was experiencing Louisville's run to the Final Four last season. It's safe to say that, after 20 points in the biggest game of his life, he might have a new moment to fondly recall.

Illuminati symbolism in One Direction's 'Best Song Ever' music video
I actually watched this video when it came out (like most premier videos), looking for Illuminati symbolism, and did not recognize anything. But while watching the 2013 MTV VMA award show, I noticed some symbolism when they played the little promo clip for the video (you know, like when they're presenting the nominees for the award). So I re watched the video, and there it was, the '666′ hand gesture that we all know and love:
This isn't a new concept from One Direction, as they've given us Illuminati symbolism on the album cover with an all seeing eye…
And they've done Instagram shots of the eye as well:
These young musicians in One Direction are kneeling down as they do it, with the one member even bowing his head. This is nothing new, we see it everywhere in the music industry as part of this Aeon of Horus and child-worship, introduced to us by Aleister Crowley:
Here's the video:

We've been dry camping in the national park in one of the most beautiful spots imaginable. However, last night we ran out of water. I have carried some water back to the camper to get us through another night but we'll move back out to civilization tomorrow. We won't be in such a nice spot, but we'll have a few more creature comforts. I guess all of life has trade offs, even camping.

Usain Bolt is quick but can he bowl as fast as he runs?
Crowds in Australia may find out this summer if the six-time Olympic sprint gold medallist decides to play some Twenty20 cricket with friend Shane Warne.
Bolt says he's interested in playing with Warne's Melbourne Stars in the Twenty20 Big Bash.
"He (Warne) contacted me and asked me about if I am serious and if I really want to do it then he can put in a few words that should get it done," Bolt told Channel Nine.
"If I get the chance I will definitely try because I know it's going to be a lot of fun."
Bolt, who was a fast bowler as a youngster before concentrating on athletics, has made no secret about his passion for cricket.
"Twenty20, I love it. Just the fact that it is so exciting, it's about going hard the whole time, not just about playing shots," he said.
The Jamaican, who in London has repeated his Beijing heroics of winning the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m gold medals, says his cricket might be a bit rusty.
"I don't know how good I am. I will probably have to get a lot of practice in," he said.
Bolt also told Nine he was disappointed in comments from nine-time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis questioning Jamaica's doping control program.
"WADA is doing an extremely good job in making sure that everybody is consistently tested, so for somebody to just get up and say something like that, especially an athlete that used to do the sport, is really, to me, disrespectful," Bolt said.

Wallpaper* loves a bit of nudity. We have a well-earned reputation for it. Fresh young frolicking flesh in bucolic settings? We like that. On bicycles? Even better. Imagine the swell of our joy then when we were given a very sneaky peak at the collaboration between New York photographer Ryan McGinley; Hans Ulrich Obrist and Julia Peyton-Jones, directors of London's Serpentine gallery; and German sportswear titan, Puma.
To experience Ryan McGinley's summertime idyll, click here. QuickTime required.
Puma were looking for a unique means and method to celebrate the launch of its Urban Mobility Edition Bag. They found it. McGinley, recently anointed as Young Photographer of the Year by the International Centre of Photography in New York after shows at the Whitney and P.S.I/Moma, produced a video featuring the Urban Mobility Edition Bag, the 8-speed Puma Urban Mobility Bike and nothing much else but a couple of lithe young nudies. McGinley has them loving and larking in the sylvan splendour of Woodstock in upstate New York. What's not to like?
The short film – and we couldn't resist letting you have a sneak peak too – is hopelessly romantic; summoning up an age when youth meant open air and freedom of movement not suffocation in too much stuff and cynicism.
Puma and the Serpentine promise for more output from McGinley later in the year. We're already over-excited.

This column is attributed to Michael Graham, a right-wing reactionary "humorist" who was fired from ABC Radio for excessively racist tirades, and who even admits on his own site that:
In 1999, when my talk radio career was just beginning, I said something stupid on the air about the Columbine shooting in the hours the story was unfolding. It was just a passing joke, made before I understood the true level of horror that Columbine would come to represent. When I realized the gravity of the situation at Columbine, I took the first opportunity I had to go on the air and apologize. I didn't apologize because I was ordered to or threatened with my job (I was eventually fired anyway). I apologized because I said something stupid, and it was important to me that the listeners know I realized I'd said something stupid.
As you'll see below, he clearly has not learned his lesson.
Man bites hurricane
They were poor. They lived in homes that, to some Americans, would appear no more than shacks. They've suffered discrimination at the hands of their fellow Americans. And when the hurricane came, it seemed to veer out of its way, just to hit them.
So why didn't hundreds of Cajuns from western Louisiana appear on my TV screen this week, complaining that George W. Bush doesn't like them, demanding $200 billion of my tax dollars or blaming the bad weather on Halliburton?
1) Cajuns aren't based in west Louisiana. Not the best show of expertise regarding the place. And though Vermilion Parish is indeed in Acadiana, it is in the south-central part of the state.
2) Kanye West is not a Cajun, and anyway it's doubtful his statement is any less true this time around. Besides, nobody asked me to be on TV.
3) As a taxpayer, Michael, you are responsible for helping your fellow citizens in tough times, just like all of us did when Hurricane Hugo devastated your own state in 1989. We were happy to pay for that. Why? Because we care. Don't be so stingy.
Hurricane Rita may have hit western Louisiana harder than Katrina hit New Orleans, but Rita across folks made of sterner stuff then you'll find in the Ninth Ward.
How to read that: "Western Louisiana" equals the tough white people, while the "Ninth Ward" equals those poor, whiny black people. Never mind that Rita was a Category 4 storm that hit with much advance warning and with FEMA trying to cover its ass, or that Katrina was a Category 5 hurricane that hit an unprepared target that received help far too late. But why let that get in the way of good old-fashioned race baiting?
Here's how one Washington Post story described the scene just hours after Rita made landfall near Intracoastal City, a "city" that in many senses barely exists:
"The only people who can get here are the sturdiest of sorts, a small armada of Cajuns with pretty French names and sunburned skin and don't-mess-with-me bravado. The bayous were full of them Saturday, gliding high and quick in airboats, and so was the Vermilion River, where they were spinning steering wheels on fast Boston Whalers and kicking up wakes in flat-bottomed, aluminum boats. They did not wait for the president or FEMA or anyone else to tell them that there were people out there--out there and desperate, on rooftops...
Let me get this straight: you're comparing these "benevolent" people, who chose to ignore mandatory evacuations and warnings of massive storm surges, favorably to New Orleanians whom you say were too stupid to evacuate? As far as I can tell, there is virtually no difference between these two groups, except that the second group had a chance to learn from Katrina. Which they apparently did not.
'I got out of the sheriff's office in about 20 seconds,' said Steve Artee, as his son, Chris, made a hard, boat-tilting turn on the swollen Vermilion. 'They just took my cell phone number, and I was gone. That's because Kathleen Blanco wasn't involved.'"
Oh, I see! They conducted rescues not because they care about the survival of their neighbors; they did it just to spite Kathleen Blanco! Too bad Bobby Jindal didn't win the gubernatorial election, because then they could have stayed home!
Now, anyone who hates Blanco and bureaucrats can't be all bad. But I don't agree with Mr. Artee that the people of Vermilion Parish behaved more responsibly or showed more strength of character because Gov. Blanco didn't have their parish on her speed dial.
Earlier this year, a friend of mine from Abbeville (in Vermilion Parish) died in a car accident in Los Angeles. At his funeral, I literally bumped into Governor Blanco, who is a friend of the family. So I can personally attest that Gov. Blanco DOES have Vermilion Parish on her speed dial.
I believe the people of western Louisiana behaved better because they are, in fact, better people. The failure revealed by Hurricane Katrina was not a failure of government, at least, not any more than government always fails. The failure in New Orleans was a failure of character. [Emphasis mine]
Who are you, Michael Graham, to gauge the betterness of one group of Louisianians over another? Do you actually know any of these people? Anyway, why do you choose to pit groups of victims against each other? Even for an editorial, this is irresponsible. These statements are strictly for the purpose of racial instigation.
Corrupt people electing corrupt politicians who gave millions in tax dollars to corrupt cronies to either mis-construct vital levees or to spend the money on entirely useless pork projects. Then, when disaster struck, these same people--living a Faustian deal of votes for tax-funded handouts--were utterly lost when those corrupt government officials headed for high ground without them.
Louisiana politics is corrupt; I'm not going to deny that. But that point is better made in ways other than accusing New Orleans politicos of deliberately sabotaging the survival of their own city. Elsewhere, I've read this same allegation in words that implied that N.O. politicians were giving the money to their (black) cronies who possessed insufficient knowledge to properly rebuild the levees. Which is why it's an accusation I'm not at all surprised to see here.
As John Fund of the Wall Street Journal wrote: "In just the past generation, the Pelican State has had a governor, an attorney general, three successive insurance commissioners, a congressman, a federal judge, a state Senate president and a swarm of local officials convicted. Last year, three top officials at Louisiana's Office of Emergency Preparedness were indicted. Just this summer, associates of former [New Orleans] mayor Marc Morial were indicted for alleged kickbacks involving public contracts. Last month the FBI raided the home and car of Rep. William Jefferson as part of a probe into allegations he had misused his office."
In other words, the federal government's negligence in addressing Katrina's devastation is justified because a handful of Louisiana politicians are under investigation? In that case, let's hope nothing happens to Texas for the rest of the decade.
Not to mention the widespread looting by the citizens of New Orleans themselves, which included televised looting by police officers, too. The chief administrative officer for Kenner, LA, was just busted for pilfering food, drinks, chainsaws and roof tarps from New Orleans and stashing them in his suburban home.
From what I've read, the looting by cops was far greater and more brutal than the over-publicized incidents done by a handful of thugs in New Orleans. But the looting of merchandise by black people seems to be all anyone remembers.
Hey? Stay classy, New Orleans!
"New Orleans," of course, equals "Black Thugs." I can tell you're from South Carolina, jackass.
Then came Hurricane Rita, Katrina's ugly sister, to wreak similar havoc just a few hundred miles to the west.
Bullshit. Rita was big, but not as big or as dramatically devastating as Katrina. Also, FEMA and the rest of the nation learned from its most recent mistakes. That's why the people who you too-broadly classify as "Cajuns" fared so much better. Last I checked, hurricanes really don't give a damn about the so-called "character" of their targets.
The communities affected were, on the surface, similar as well: Abbeville or Cameron, LA were "low income" communities. The education levels were similar to the Ninth Ward, too. And you won't find many branches of the Aryan Nations meeting among the dark-skinned natives of Cajun country, whose heritage is a genetic gumbo of Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and American Indians.
"So, you see, I can't be racist! I acknowledge that darkies live here too!"
But while the people of New Orleans were panicking and complaining (not to mention stealing, shooting and stabbing) days after the storm, the Cajuns of western Louisiana were out in their boats, looking for lost neighbors and rescuing strangers off rooftops.
Wow, can you say, "overgeneralization?" Like I've already said several times, preparation for Katrina was terrible. People living in the targeted area of Rita had much better opportunities to evacuate or otherwise make plans. Everyone in the affected area seemed to be diligent because they were the few stubborn enough to stay.
It wasn't just because Gov. Blanco wasn't involved--it was because almost NO government is involved in these folks' daily lives. The people of rural Louisiana grow up with the assumption that their survival in this world of woe is their responsibility. Unlike far too many people in New Orleans, "low income" isn't an excuse to the working families in rural Louisiana. It's just a condition to be dealt with. They live their lives as though they own them, unlike those government-dependent "victims" who live as though life is something the state provides for them and is responsible to maintain.
This is such sheer bullshit that I could shovel it. Rural Louisianians are probably imbued with less state government, true, but local government exists there on a big level. You write as if these people live in a state of self-imposed anarchy; they don't. Furthermore, the people of New Orleans live in a city, one of the largest in the United States. Why shouldn't they expect a responsible government? They pay the taxes for such, after all. Which is precisely why so many of them are "low-income" and unable to survive on their own. In any event, none of this should be relevant; Americans should help all victimized Americans in times of crisis. Blanket hatred of government should not override this, as it apparently does for certain right-leaning pundits.
Randy Gary, a fisherman from Cameron, LA, was asked about his future after his boats were destroyed and flooding poisoned the oyster beds he fished.
He didn't blame FEMA or accuse President Bush of stealing his lunch money. He wasn't spotted kicking in the door of the local Wal-Mart to snag a plasma-screen TV "for survival purposes." He has yet to join the Cajun Action Committee to investigate why so many of Rita's victims spoke French.
Instead, as the AP reports, he smiled.
"What else we gonna do?" he said, pledging to rebuild his shattered home and work. "It's my life. It's what I do."
Well, sure. But would he really refuse government help if it were offered? I'll bet you anything he won't. If he does, he's just as ignorant as you accuse the Ninth Ward of being.
Hurricane Rita, you've met your match.
Yes, a devastatingly awful windbag by the name of:
Michael Graham

Home Treatment Teams tend to offer an altenative to psychiatric hospital admission and would limited to people requiring acute care for a short period of time (eg 1 week to two months);
Finally; Community and Mental Health Teams (CMHTs) in the UK offer ongoing mental health support and treatment to people not in need of acute care or one of the above teams.
However, some teams offer a variety of these roles and some areas do not have all the above teams available - which mean the CMHTs have fill in all the gaps!

Mental Health Global Policies and Human Rights
Edited by Peter Morrall, School of Health Care Studies, University of Leeds and
Mike Hazelton, University of Newcastle and Hunter Mental Health Service, Australia
Mental health has become a global issue.
Throughout both the developed and developing worlds, the
treatment and care of the mentally disordered, and the need to
improve the mental health status of all citizens, has become a
major political and professional concern.
This is occuring at the same time as human rights are increasingly highlighted by government and non-government agencies, at national and supra-national levels.
This book reviews mental health policies across the world and their relationship to the human rights of mentally disordered people. Ten case-studies are presented, each written by an expert in the field of mental health policy within a selected country.
What is recorded is a tangle of approaches, some coherent, consistent, and caring, whilst others are ambiguous, anachronistic, and abusive. What is concluded is the need for vigilance and activism on a global scale to protect the human rights of this particularly vulnerable group.

May I ... introduce you to "The
Scary Reality of Madness".
This film, made by my old friend, Tony Glover - the Sony Award-Winning film maker - has just been released. We made the film with the support of a Millennium Award and the great support of our old friend and colleague, Dr Irene Whitehill - one of the UK's foremost user-advocates.
"The Scary Reality of Madness"
In the film we challenge some of the 'received wisdom' about 'mental illness' and suggest - with all due respect - that madness (our preferred term) might simply be an important dimension of the human condition, without which we might well be greatly impoverished. We are sure that there will be many who will disagree strongly with us.

Moving to Colorado Springs
Approximately 65 miles south of Denver, Colorado's state capitol, lies a smaller, wilder metropolis originally nicknamed, "Little London" but now known as Colorado Springs. Home to roughly 417,000 residents, Colorado Springs offers visitors and residents opportunities to get out in nature and discover the beauty of Colorado. Moving to Colorado Springs? Checkout our guide to Colorado Springs below for where to go and what to see once you're all moved in.
Getting Outside
Perhaps the most famous landmark, and certainly the first thing you'll notice entering Colorado Springs is the mountain that frames the horizon: Pikes Peak. One of Colorado's 54 "fourteeners", Pike's Peak stands 14,115 feet tall and is home to a famous road race which pits racers against mountain in a race to the top. Partially completed on dirt roads, this race offers spectators the chance to get up close and watch their favorite drivers as they slide through turns and spin their way to the top. Visitors to Pikes Peak can drive up to the top of the mountain to enjoy freshly made doughnuts, made from a special recipe that only works at extreme altitudes. Those seeking a more relaxed journey may elect to take the railway which delivers them directly to the top of Pikes Peak. Pikes Peak is also home to a grueling foot race of marathon length, all the way from the base of the mountain to the top.
For an inexpensive day trip, visitors and residents can head over to Garden of the Gods, a free city park, home to unique geological formations and family-friendly walking trails. This free park, established in 1909 is sure to provide a moving experience for all who walk its pathways.
Another natural attraction visitors are sure to appreciate is the Seven Falls Park. Though just a mile in length, it contains seven unique waterfalls. The falls are lit with Christmas lights during winter, creating visual displays that are moving and unforgettable. This privately held park was established in the 1900s as a place to enjoy Colorado at its original beauty.
Abundant open space preserves, located throughout the city, are great places to hop on a mountain bike for an exciting afternoon, or enjoy a slower paced walk with loved ones. The crisp air of Colorado Springs will move even the hardiest of city dwellers. Colorado Springs was named "Best Place to Live" by Money magazine in 2006 and placed number one in Outside's, "America's Best Cities" in 2009. If you give yourself a little bit of time to explore and experience Colorado Springs, you're sure to understand why.
Historical Sites
For those looking to dive into history, the Manitou Springs cliff dwellings, located just west of Colorado Springs, is a remarkable site for a day trip. The Anasazi lived in this area from approximately 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1300. The site is an accurate replica of the places the Anasazi called home prior to the arrival of Europeans. Visitors may walk among the cliff dwellings, through the narrow doorways and up the handmade ladders to experience what it must have been like thousands of years ago. An on site museum and gift shop round out the experience and allow you to take a bit of history home with you.
Just east of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, visitors will find the historic Broadmoor Hotel. During the Railroad Age, the Broadmoor was the stopping place of the rich and famous and was hailed as the "Grand Dame of the Rockies." Today, it boasts luxurious accommodations for its guests and offers a relaxing respite from the harried lifestyle found in larger cities. The Broadmoor is also a great place for golf enthusiasts and boasts several world class courses. The historical residences surrounding the Broadmoor date back to the early 1900's, when the city was in its infancy.
The United States government chose Colorado Springs as the location for several military bases and government installations. Cheyenne Mountain is home to the fabled NORAD center. Buried deep within the mountain, this center was originally purposed to track and deploy the nations missile defense systems.

Many variations of this soup have passed through my kitchen this winter and I have loved each and every one. When I'm in the mood for a stew, I cut down on the liquid, cut the squash in larger chunks and stir them in at the end. Last fall I replaced some of the water with pureed tomatillos which gave the dish a delicious, tangy layer of flavor.
This soup is warming and creamy: sweet from the squash, fragrant from the herbs and spices and has enough kick to wake up your taste buds. I guess you all know that I love beans and their many, unique healing properties. With this soup I am not only soothed by the lovely texture but also by knowing how much black beans nourish the kidneys, which is why they are helpful in healing sore lower back and knee pain (both of which are represented by the kidneys).
In Chinese medicine, foods that are small and dark support healthy kidney function. All beans benefit the kidneys but black beans are particularly helpful since black is the color that represents the kidneys energetically.
Beans in general contain higher protein than eggs and most meat, and provide a great source of iron and calcium without the fat and cholesterol. They also contain isoflavones that help prevent cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis.
I served this for an early dinner on a lazy Sunday evening, it was delicious eaten with guacamole, pickled cabbage and these locally made corn tortillas from Hot Bread Kitchen. (a great non profit social enterprise worth checking out!)
The guacamole and cabbage are super simple but let me know if you would like the recipe and I'll post them!
Spicy black bean squash soup
The amount of cayenne pepper that you add at the end will depend on how spicy your jalapeno ends up being and how spicy you want to make the soup. Just be aware that the spice can increase as it simmers.
1 ½ cup black beans, soaked over night, drained, and rinsed
5 1/2 cups of water divided
2 inch strip of Kombu
4 bay leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
Sea salt
4 garlic medium cloves, minced
1 jalapeno, seeds removed, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
¼ cup cilantro stems, finely chopped
2 small carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
4 cups butternut squash, ¾ inch dice
1 ¼ cup cabbage, ½ inch dice
½ cup cilantro leaves, chopped, reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish
Cayenne pepper to taste
Place black beans in a pressure cooker with 3 cups of the filtered water, kombu and bay leaves. Bring up to full pressure over high heat, reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, add onions with a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent. Stir in garlic and jalapeno, sauté for one minute more. Add cumin, oregano, and cilantro stems. Stir in carrots, celery, squash, cabbage, and remaining water.
Bring up to a boil, stir, lower heat, cover, and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes until vegetables are cooked. Pour in black beans with their cooking liquid; add cilantro leaves, salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Raise heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and soup to thicken to desired consistency.
Garnish each bowl with remaining cilantro leaves.
Serves 4 to 6 people
