Rielle Hunter Book Bashes "Crazy" Elizabeth Edwards, Claims John Had Other Affairsby Free Britney at . Comments
Rielle Hunter was John Edwards' mistress, but not his only one, according to her new book, What Really Happened. Yes, Rielle Hunter has a book out.
In the book, to be released June 26, Hunter reveals that John Edwards, the disgraced former White House hopeful, carried on at least two other affairs.
Rielle Hunter says she wrote it "in an effort to explain her relationship with Edwards to their daughter." We're sure money had nothing to do with it.
Ironically, when Edwards first met Hunter in 2006 he lied to her about having more mistresses than he actually had, and only revealed the truth years later.
After he was set to be tried for using donations from wealthy political backers to cover up his illicit affair and the daughter he had with Hunter, he came clean.
Edwards was found not guilty this spring on one count of violating campaign finance rules and a federal judge declared a mistrial on five other criminal counts.
The Justice Department will not retry the case, leaving him in the clear ... legally. His reputation, astonishingly, continues to take on more and more damage.
Hunter is vague about their current relationship status, but suggests that they remain romantically involved and he is involved in daughter Frances Quinn's life.In an upcoming "20/20" interview, airing Friday night on ABC, Rielle Hunter says she will reveal the current status of her relationship with John Edwards.
"I really have no idea what will happen with us. The jury is still out. But I can honestly say that the ending is of no concern to me anymore," she said.
"The love is here. And as sappy as it may sound, I love living in love."
Hunter says she wants Frances Quinn to "have one entirely truthful public account of how she came into the world. After all, this is her story too."
The book is a primer on the life of a political mistress - furtive meetings, passionate trysts and the anxiety of being hounded by celebrity news tabloids.
It is additionally both a full-throated defense of Edwards' innocence on campaign finance fraud case and at times a screed against his wife Elizabeth.
Rielle Hunter routinely describes Elizabeth Edwards, now deceased, as "crazy" and blames her for driving Edwards into the arms of other women.
Hunter depicts Elizabeth as woman routinely angry at John, who "barks" demands at him, summarily fires staffers and vigilantly works to maintain a public persona as a "saint" when, Hunter writes, really she is a "witch on wheels."
Hunter and John met on February 21, 2006, at the New York Regency Hotel. She approached the former senator with the come-on, "You are so hot."
Moments later, he called to invite her up to his room.
On that first night, Edwards, then mulling a second run for the White House, said he was sexually involved with three other women simultaneously.
Throughout the first weeks of their relationship, Edwards would reference these women, even detailing trips to meet and break up with them.
But all three women, Edwards later confessed to Hunter, were fabricated.
Made up, he said, so Hunter and his other actual former mistresses, to whom he had told the same story, would not become too attached to him.
"Johnny went on to tell me that the three women he had told me about the first night I had met him were, in fact, not real and that he had made them up... My mind was racing... He had told me detail upon detail," she said.
"I remembered the ups and downs of emotion I had experienced the night he went to Chicago to supposedly break off his relationship there," she writes. "My reality in our relationship had been ripped out from under me."
Edwards, she said, later confessed to having additional affairs before 2004, but led her to believe she was his last extramarital conquest.
"Johnny didn't do anything out of character," she said. "He has a long history of lying about one thing only - women - and I thought I was different."
Following their first encounter, Edwards hired Hunter, then working as a life coach, as a videographer to join his campaign in its first few months.
Hunter travelled extensively with Edwards including on a trip to Uganda, where at his request she filmed a video of the couple having sex.
When staffers became suspicious of the affair, Rielle Hunter left the campaign and their trysts became increasingly furtive, she says.
On Dec. 31. 2006, Elizabeth uncovered the truth, calling Hunter from what she calls Edwards' "other woman" phone, a secondary cell he used.
"Hey, baby," Hunter answered assuming it was John. Elizabeth hung up.
Elizabeth, Hunter writes, repeatedly called her "for the next two days at all hours of the day and night from various numbers" to intimidate her.
John Edwards was also subjected to Elizabeth's wrath as she "physically attack[ed] him during all the screaming," according to Rielle.
Hunter has little sympathy for Elizabeth's behavior.
She writes that Edwards' wife of three decades "was bonkers because she had been in denial" about his cheating, and a "venomous" individual.
In July 2007, Rielle Hunter learns she is pregnant and reveals her pregnancy one week later to Edwards and his trusted aide Andrew Young.
Young and his wife Cheri had taken on the role of keeping Hunter hidden from his increasingly suspicious wife and the National Enquirer.
News of Hunter's pregnancy resulted in a bizarre arrangement in which Hunter lived with the Youngs and their small children, traveling across the country and ultimately settling in to a mansion in Santa Barbara, Calif.
When still in North Carolina, a pregnant Hunter was photographed by the Enquirer in a supermarket parking lot, leading to one of the strangest twists in the story - Andrew Young claimed paternity of her unborn child.
She claims it was Young's decision, but Edwards went along with it.
Hunter claims Edwards did not conspire to funnel money to her from donors, seeing as she never received it and he had no idea who paid her bills.
Hunter is a poor role model for a young daughter. Her resentment that Elizabeth Edwards controlled where she lived, "team Edwards� and the inconvenience SHE was caused, "rent was to be taken out of the child support…left us with basically no money.� Quinn, know this, you don't NEED YOUR BOYFRIEND, OR HIS WIFE, TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. It's CHILD SUPPORT, not MISTRESS SUPPORT, or GIRLFRIEND SUPPORT. Quinn, when you grow up, always be able to take care of yourself, be able to support yourself, until then, you're not responsible for taking care of your mother.
Hunter should"shut the hell up". She thought john was going to a MARRY HER, "NOT". I pray the book don't make any money.
If u lay with dogs you gets fleas. John Edwards is a dog & Rielle is a ho. She slept with him without so much as a though to his wife & family. She's nasty not Elizabeth. How dare her bash his wife after she died of cancer. I hope her tell all book bombs. Quinn will make her own assessment of her mother when she gets old enough to hear the sordid details. Rielle keep your legs closed to married men. You have made yourself look pathetic giving these interviews. I don't buy the reason for your book. You are an opportunist slut with no morals or concern for family. John dumped u because he realized you weren't worth the betrayal of his love Elizabeth & his children. Go away =you have no shame
Dont by the book
Rielle Hunter is one of the ugliest whores I've ever seen! In addition to being sick and disgusting. It seems that prick John Edwards would sleep with anything. Elizabeth Edwards is a woman of grace and heroism to go through what she did.
Wow, there are a lot of venom spewing folks out there that are worse than the two woman they love to dump on. I was truly sorry about Elizabeths struggles with her cancer, but equally sorry that she found it necessary to denigrate the father of her children so publicly. John Edwards has many talents but he "aint no saint!" Neither are people beyond reproach, just because they suddenly become ill. And a woman who falls in love with a married man - people - that has happened forever and a day!
Clearly humans change a lot over the course of their married years. Both marital partners need to communicate and not bully each other into the behavior they expect of each other.
The tragic sudden death of the Eward's son Wayne from a car accident as a teenager must have left scars, fears and uncertainties which can lead to controlling behavior as well as risk taking.
So leave them alone.
Now, now everyone. Calm down. We don't know everything that went on. BUT, from we what we DO know, I can't help but feel profound sorrow for the 3 little children. I suggest that John and Rielle go back to Sunday School 101 -- get the "Thou Shalt Nots" down pat and then repent and find healing so that the children really can have stable, good, role model in their parents. Let's pray for all of them. Seriously.
I believe there maybe a case against Hunter here; she is slandering the mother of John Edwards's legitimate children and they as well be able to have a civil case against her. She really better watch out it very well may happen. How do you expect the children of someone you slept with to look at you with respect and honor if you bash their mother? She just keeps on producing trash and garbage that will catch up with her sooner than later. I am not saying John is not a jerk in this too but she is the one writing and publishing lies and name calling that will get her in trouble and sure hope it does if she doesn't stop it!
I'll wait until the book is available in paperback, and I still won't purchase it. Edwards is a typical Democrat, morals of an alley cat, but this whore knew he was married.
Check out her picture on the book cover. She has obviously had plastic surgery, and doesn't look quite as skanky as before. Clearly she and Edwards are not together, or she would not be trashing him in her book.

To the extent that more and more Christians are becoming non believers ("As Protestants numbers decline, 'Nones' on rise, Oct. 9"), grief, sadness and disappointment are heaped onto Jesus Christ and our world suffers a loss of wisdom. He gave up his exemption from suffering and came to Earth to give us a heads-up about what life is really all about. He has to be grieving deeply about our ignoring his counsel.

Illustrations, Contemporary Art in context and Art/Literature Influences.
I took a video of ripples in the pond, to see the way in which they spread from a single small circle to lots of gradually larger circles. I think it might be interesting to make an animation out of the images.
Today I visited Greenhead Park and took some photos of the pond, focussing on the ripples and the reflections of the sun, clouds and surrounding trees.
Self Devised Brief:
For my personal project I have chosen to work with the theme of water and my aim for the project is to test my drawing skills. I plan to experiment with multiple ways of drawing, for example, drawing from observation in a realistic way, using experimental techniques to draw, and trying out different illustrative styles that allow me to portray the subject of water and how it can be shown through illustration. I aim to set myself small projects throughout the brief, and set myself tasks as if i were responding to a client. I will do this by illustrating news papers, magazine articles, creating packaging designs, book illustrations etc, that will all be in line with the theme of water and the drawings that I have already completed in the experimental stages. I feel that by setting myself smaller projects, I will produce more work in a shorter space of time, due to being able to focus on the one task and not being temped to off track or get stuck with where to go next. Instead, I can just move from task to task developing my illustrations. I also feel that setting myself smaller projects will enable me to produce more finished illustrations that are of a professional illustrative standard.
David Hockney Early Reflections @ Walker Art Gallery
I visited the David Hockney early reflections exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, where it gave me the inspiration for my Personal Project. Hockney used water as a subject matter in some of his most well known pieces of work. He was a perfectionist and liked a challenge, and with water being one of the most challenging things to draw, he tackled it in multiple ways, from cartoon-like drawings to realistic paintings and quite abstract screen prints. Hockney used his friend's Californian swimming pool as the setting for a lot of his paintings, but he also dealt with water as a substance, showing that it is constantly changing e.g. ripples in swimming pool & droplets in the shower, which is an image he also painted.
"It is a formal problem to represent water, to describe water, because it can be anything. It can be any colour, it's moveable, it has no set visual description." - David Hockney
To evoke water, Hockney had a highly stylised technique influenced by advertising graphics. In one of the works he made for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, his design borrowed from the visual conventions of comics and advertising illustration using wiggly lines over strong & flat colours. His work looks at water from all different artistic viewpoints. He looks at how the water disperses light through it's ripples, how the water bounces off the body in the shower and the realistic ways in which water distorts whatever is beneath it.
The exhibition inspired my project as I aim to challenge my own drawing and painting skills, and i think by using water as my subject matter, it will allow me to do this.
We were set a task to get us thinking about how we are going to present our work professionally to the client, the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre.
I first wrote a proposal which explains where i'm currently at with the project, and my ideas so far. I also explained my reasons for following the ideas I currently have, and what they have to do with the 3M commission and the 3M building itself.
I then created a mood board style piece using the points I had made in my proposal, which was A3 sized and incorporated images of research I had been doing. As well as this, I shown my working drawings and ideas that I myself have produced on another A3 sized mood board.
My presenting technique needed to be considered also, and i would need to present it in a professional way as though I am pitching it to a client. I made sure all of the relevant information such as size, placement and theme of the project were included in my text.
the feedback I received from Ian was:
Ian's Feedback was: Your work was very professional and i would have loved to have seen more, your knowledge of your influences shows intellegence and thorough thinking
Your confidence is very good but you need to seem more happy and positive about your work.
and the group was as follows:
I will take these comments on board and think of some of the suggestions for my final outcome. Ian's comments have made me realise that I need to present more confidently and have a little more to say about my work.
I've created a new blog to house my work and ideas for the 3m bic commission. I have set it aside from this blog as it will prove easier for the client to have a look at as it just presents my work for the one project in a professional way.
Today we met with the Client and had our tour of the Buckley Innovation centre. We had the opportunity to view the space in which our work could be potentially situated, and be told any information that would help us shape and direct our projects so that they are what the client wants.
Some of the notes I took from the session are:
As well as receiving relevant information from the client, we also had the opportunity to ask some of our own questions from the checklist we had produced in Lee Corner's lectures. Some of the answers to these questions were:
The definition of Innovation: The action of innovating
-the introduction of novelties
-the alteration of what is established by the introduction of new elements or forms
The definition of Innovative: To be innovative
-to change something into something new
-to alter/renew
-to bring or introduce novelties
To me, innovation means taking something and adding elements to it that either change it slightly or completely renew it. If I applied the meaning of this word to my work, it would mean me creating work in the same style/using the same processes that I have used in the past, but adding new and innovative elements or processes to create a different and possibly more successful outcome. For instance, I am thinking of ways to progress and be innovative with my typographical work, which means I will need to look at working in new and interesting ways.
In relation to the 3M Buckley Innovation Centre, Innovation is about providing access to leading edge high technology facilities & services with technical support to business' which in turn, allows them to introduce the process of innovation. One of the most important factors of the centre is to promote innovation within business. Therefore, my starting point has been to look deeper into the meaning of 'Innovation', both in relation to the centre and as a word in general.
In todays lecture with Lee Corner, we talked about our professional practise and how to go about it in terms of approaching commissions and how to be professional in our practise. Here are some of the points I took from the lecture:
Commission: What is expected of you? What do they want? What is the context?
1. Stay curious - Stay alert and ask questions
2. Desk research - What the company does. Functionality. Ethos. Values. Vision. Audience (background research).
3. Listen & Ask questions on the visit.
4. Practicalities. Is there any money or funding? Where is the access to the building? Timescale etc
3M Comission:
- Puts trust in the university to present work to outside the business
- Giving back to the university in the form of establishing connections and showing the course's potential
We were told to think about the 3M commission and what they wanted from us, then produce a list of what we need to ask them on our visit next week, which we will discuss in the next lecture
I have began to plan my creative CV, but first I thought it would be best to look at a few examples to see how other creative practitioners had made theirs.
Shakira Twigden
- Her example is very Typography based, with illustration incorporated into/surrounding the typography and lettering.
- She has multiple pages, but her cover page is the most attention grabbing and stands out.
- Sticks to two colours for the front page - bright blue and gold.
- The bright colour of the blue catches attention and gold symbolises wealth and class.
- I really like the use of typography in this one and it looks very professional, however, it may be quite limiting due to it being practically all typographical and it seems to concentrate on being aesthetically pleasing rather than informational about the person's CV. I would also be more inclined to keep my CV on one page and possibly include more illustration on it.
Jimmy Raheriarisoa
- He uses both Typography and Illustration.
- Displays a kind of 'less is more' approach with not too much type and a select few images.
- Monochrome colouring, White and Grey, allow us not to be distracted by the colour and able to focus on the words he has used to get his CV across.
- He uses a list format instead of paragraphs, which makes the CV really easy to read.
- The illustration style is cute and simple and cartoonlike, which compliments the typography well and also mixes in and combines with it in parts.
- I really like the illustrative & typographical style of this C.V. and feel it gets the designer across pretty well yet I feel I would like to include a little bit more information in mine and possibly a little more colour and more illustrations in order to catch the employers attention and give off a 'wow' factor.
Lisa Loviany
- The style of her CV is colourful and vibrant. It looks as though it gets across her style, or elements of it.
- She uses a mixture of typography. illustration and text, and includes a fair amount of detail about herself.
- Her little illustrations give a sense of her style along with helping to illustrate her personality and hobbies.
- I like this example a lot, as I think it would be the best example to get across your illustrative style and yet include all of the information that should be included in a CV. The mixture of illustration, typography and graphic design is just about right for an illustrators CV i believe, but i would maybe include a little more typography based imagery as as well as getting across that I am into illustration, I also want to show my interest in typography and Graphic design. I would also consider having a more defined colour scheme which isn't as gender suggestive as in this example.

Transitional Kindergarten
The Capistrano Unified School District began offering the Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program in fall of 2012. To qualify, students must turn five years old September 2-December 2, 2014. Transitional Kindergarten is being offered to students who, due to the kindergarten age rollback, miss the cutoff to enter kindergarten. This will be the first year of a two-year kindergarten program provided for in the SB 1381 legislation or the Kindergarten Readiness Act 2010. Transitional Kindergarten is offered at select sites. At the end of the Transitional Kindergarten year, students will matriculate to their home schools for regular kindergarten.
For more information, please contact Debbi Keeler, Director, Early Childhood Programs at (949) 234-5341.

Parents who submit their forms by March 28, 2014 will have priority for the TK program associated with their home school. Students who have older siblings concurrently enrolled at the TK location have first priority of enrollment. A lottery will be conducted for family school sites that exceed available spots. In the case where there are more requests than openings, every effort is made to place those students at a site closest to their home. Parents will be notified by letter if they have been selected by lottery or have been assigned to their home school or closest school site. Students may be placed on a wait list for their school of choice provided they also enroll in their assigned school. Intent to Register forms are available on the District's website under Schools, Transitional Kindergarten. Once students are placed after March 28th, placement will be done on a first-come first-served basis, based on availability.

Eligible students for the interactive at-home transitional kindergarten program are:
- Students who will turn five between September 2-December 2, 2014, or
- Students who are kindergarten-age eligible, five years old on or before September 1, 2014, where parents have chosen not to send them to kindergarten in fall of 2014.
This interactive, standards-based curriculum combines rich multimedia with comprehensive hands-on activities. The program encourages excitement and creativity in the areas of math, science, reading, writing, social studies, wellness, and visual arts. Students experience a dynamic virtual classroom through the use of teacher videos, audio stories, animated characters, and interactive games. By combining these online activities with various hands-on elements like activity books, experiments, art projects, and a collection of illustrated storybooks, students will receive a complete and fulfilling educational experience.
In addition to the online interactive program, parents will receive guide books that include detailed explanations of the objectives and directions to help your child complete the activities, experiments, projects, and games. Also provided is a supply box filled with the necessary materials to complete the program. Supplies include: early color and shape cards, phonics flashcards, letter cards, number cards, sight word cards, activities books, plastic coins, unifix cubes, drawing paper, paint, modeling clay, dry erase board with markers, and much more.

Re-examining the value of life insurance
Common excuses for not purchasing life insurance ignore the benefits.
The idea that younger families do not need life insurance is incorrect. Losing a breadwinner dramatically alters the future for both the spouse and children. In addition, it is much cheaper for a younger person to be covered.
Some argue that it is too expensive. This is a huge misconception as there are many low cost options, competitive pricing and types of policies available that provide great value for families. Here is just one example:
A 35-year-old male in good health can buy a 20-year, $1,000,000 term policy for less than $39 per month (quotes will vary by age, health and company).
Can you afford not to own some form of life insurance, permanent (called whole life) or temporary (coverage for a defined period of time) to ensure a long-term future for your business, those people and institutions you deeply care about?
Why not talk it over today and make plans now so no one will ever have to say, "It is too bad; if had he/she had only known what was ahead, it would have made such a difference for everyone." The time is now; do not put this off. People are counting on you to make right decisions. Life insurance may be more expensive tomorrow and, perhaps, too late.
Your empty chair will be costly. Life insurance in its various forms has the power to transform a tragedy to an expression of caring that can live for decades to come. It is time to re-examine your needs and plan for the future. It all begins with a simple conversation. You may be surprised at the peace of mind and sense of security you will know and share with those who matter most.

(CBS) For any Bulls fan, Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals was just plain ugly.
Not only did the Heat drop the Bulls by nearly 40 points to even the series at 1-1, but Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson were both ejected early in the fourth quarter.
While league fines will most certainly be levied, both players could be facing suspensions for Game 3.
Check out the video below of Noah and Gibson's ejections.

General Works
The history of Rocky Mountain National Park has
always been linked to that of the adjacent communities of Estes Park and
Grand Lake. One of the earliest histories of the region still available
is Enos Mills's The Story of Estes Park (Privately printed,
1980). June E. Carothers's Estes Park, Past and Present (Denver,
1951) offers greater perspective. Edmin J. Foscue and Louis O. Quam's
Estes Park, Resort in the Rockies (Dallas, 1949) is equally
valuable. Brief historical introductions to the area include Ruth
Stauffer's This Was Estes Park: Historical Vignettes of the Early
Days Estes Park, 1976) and Lloyd K. Musselman's Rocky Mountain
National Park, Its First Fifty Years, 1915-1965 (Estes Park, 1965).
Caroline Bancroft's Trail Ridge Country: The Romantic History of
Estes Park and Grand Lake (Boulder, 1968) and Dave Hicks's Estes
Park, From the Beginning (Denver, 1976) note many historical
highlights of the area. Offering personal insight are Harold Marion
Dunning's History of Estes Park (Boulder, 1967), Over Hill and
Vale (Boulder, 1956), and The History of Trail Ridge Road
(Boulder, 1967). Especially valuable for its many details of early
exploration and settlement as well as nomenclature is Louisa Ward Arps
and Elinor Eppich Kingery's Rocky Mountain National Park, High
Country Names (Boulder, 1972).
Mary Lyons Carins's Grand Lake in the Olden
Days (Denver, 1971) and Nell Pauly's Ghosts of the Shootin'
(Grand Lake, 1961) provide some pioneers' perspectives regarding events
on the western slope. Of greater value is Robert C. Black III's
Island in the Rockies (Boulder, 1969) with its definitive history
of Grand County.
Equally important but less accessible are two
National Park Service historic resource studies: F. Ross Holland, Jr.'s
Rocky Mountain National Park: Historical Background Data
(National Park Service, 1971) and Lloyd K. Musselman's Rocky Mountain
National Park, Administrative History, 1915-1965 (National Park
Service, 1971). Older but still of value are H. E. Rensch's
Historical Background for Rocky Mountain National Park (National
Park Service, 1935) and Florence Johnson Shoemaker's The Story of
Estes-Rocky Mountain National Park Region (Master's thesis, Colorado
State College, Greeley, 1940).
Placing the national park idea into a national
perspective are Alfred Runte's National Parks: The American
Experience (Lincoln, 1972) and Joseph L. Sax's Mountains Without
Handrails: Reflections on the National Parks (Ann Arbor, 1980). And
for an overview of Colorado history see Carl Abbott, Stephen J. Leonard,
and David McComb's Colorado: A History of the Centennial State
(Boulder, 1982), Marshall Sprague's Colorado, A Bicentennial
History (New York, 1976), or Robert Athearn's The Coloradans
(Albuquerque, 1976).
Chapter One: Tales, Trails, and Tribes
Native Americans of the prehistoric era of course
left no written records of their visits to Rocky Mountain National Park.
Here archeology and ethnology dominate our study. Two introductory
studies, Bruce Estes Rippeteau's A Colorado Book of the Dead: The
Prehistoric Era (Denver, 1979) and J. Donald Hughes's American
Indians of Colorado (Boulder, c. 1977), trace Colorado's natives
through time. Offering a broader perspective are George C. Frison's
Prehistoric Hunters of the Great Plains (New York, 1978), Jesse
D. Jennings's Prehistory of North America (New York, 1974), and
H. M. Wormington's Ancient Man in North America (Denver, 1957).
Also useful is Edwin N. Wilmsen's Lindenmeier: A Pliestocene Hunting
Society (New York, 1974).
Two valuable studies center on archeology within the
Park. An older work, Mary Elizabeth Yelm's Archeological Survey of
Rocky Mountain National ParkEastern Foothill District
(Master's thesis, University of Denver, 1935) gave archeology a boost in
the region. Wilfred Marsten Husted's A Proposed Archeological
Chronology for Rocky Mountain National Park Based on Projectile Points
and Pottery (Master's thesis, University of Colorado, 1962) has
become essential for understanding the Park's prehistory. Equally
important are James B. Benedict's The Fourth of July Valley: Glacial
Geology and Archeology of the Timberline Ecotone (Ward, 1981) and
(with Byron L. Olson) The Mount Albion Complex: A Study of
Prehistoric Man and the Altithermal (Ward, 1978). Older speculative
studies, such as Betty Yelm's and Ralph L. Beals's Indians of the
Park Region Estes Park, 1934) are being replaced by numerous
valuable articles such as Wilfred M. Husted's "Early Occupation of the
Colorado Front Range," American Antiquity, 30-4 (April 1965):
494-98, and David A. Breternitz's "An Early Burial from Gordon Creek,
Colorado," American Antiquity, 36-2 (April 1971): 170-82.
Indians associated with the Park region may be
examined in broader scope in Virginia Cole Trenholm's The Arapahoes,
Our People (Norman, 1970), Alfred L. Kroeber's The Arapaho
(New York, 1902), and Wilson Rockwell's The Utes: A Forgotten
People (Denver, 1956). Among the more recent scholarly studies, Anne
M. Smith's Ethnography of the Northem Utes (Santa Fe, 1974)
offers unique analysis of Ute lifeways. An early effort to connect Rocky
Mountain National Park with its Native American heritage led to a 1914
expedition through the region with elderly Indians as detailed in Oliver
W. Toll's Arapaho Names and Trails (Privately printed, 1962).
Chapter Two: Into the Domains of Silence and Loneliness
The exploration of Rocky Mountain National Park has
to be considered in the context of Colorado history. Regarding the
expedition of Stephen Harriman Long, see Dr. Edwin James's Account of
an Expedition from Pittsburg to the Rocky Mountains (Ann Arbor,
1966) or Harlan M. Fuller and LeRoy R. Hafen's The Journal of Captain
John R. Bell (Glendale, 1973). For an overview of the American fur
trade, Hiram M. Chittenden's The American Fur Trade of the Far
West (New York, 1902) is only one of numerous studies. Essential to
the Park's earliest link with frontiersmen is LeRoy R. Hafen and Anne W.
Hafen's Rufus B. Sage, His Letters and Papers, 1836-1847
(Glendale, 1956). For other visitors in the region see Donald Jackson
and Mary Lee Spence's The Expeditions of John Charles Fremont
(Urbana, 1970) and Francis Parkman's classic tale The Oregon
Trail (New York, 1950). Jack Roberts's The Amazing Adventures of
Lord Gore (Silverton, 1977) offers some insights into the way the
Rockies were viewed by the 1850s.
Because gold brought such people as Joel Estes to
Colorado, the search for mineral wealth ultimately affected Rocky
Mountain National Park. For an overview of that era see George F.
Willison's Here They Dug the Gold (New York, 1931) or LeRoy R.
Hafen's Colorado Gold Rush, Contemporary Letters and Reports,
1858-1859 (Philadelphia, 1974). The experience of Joel Estes has
been treated in almost every general history of Rocky Mountain National
Park. The most reliable source of information regarding Joel Estes
remains Milton Estes's "The Memoirs of Estes Park," The Colorado
Magazine, 16(July 1939): 121-32. Longs Peak entered the realm of
fiction for the first time in Jules Verne's From the Earth to the
Moon and A Trip Around It (Philadelphia, c. 1865).
Chapter Three: Searching for the Song of the Winds
Isabella Bird's travels continue to keep readers
entertained. Two works put her Colorado visit in perspective: Robert G.
Athearn's Westward the Briton (New York, 1953) and Marshall
Sprague's A Gallery of Dudes (Boston, 1966). Dorothy Middleton's
Victorian Lady Travellers (New York, 1965) describes the European
context from which Bird came. Isabella Bird's own A Lady's Life in
the Rocky Mountains (Norman, 1979) has become a minor classic in the
history of the Rocky Mountain National Park.
Concerning the Earl of Dunraven, his own works offer
a fine introduction. His Canadian Nights (New York, 1914),
Past Times and Pastimes (London, 1922), and The Great
Divide (London, 1876) are worth searching for, as is George Henry
Kingsley and Mary H. Kingsley's Notes on Sport and Travel
(London, 1900), since they shed light on some controversial aspects of
the Earl's tenure in Estes Park. For an early settler's view of the Earl
see E. J. Lamb's Memories of the Past and Thoughts of the Future
(Denver?, 1901) and Miscellaneous Meditations (Denver?, c.
For the era of geological and geographical
exploration, William H. Goetzmann's Exploration and Empire (New
York, 1966) is the best place to start and Richard A. Bartlett's
Great Surveys of the American West (Norman, 1962) will also prove
helpful. The Longs Peak climb of John Wesley Powell and his many other
adventures may be found in Dale White's John Wesley Powell,
Geologist-Explorer (New York, 1958) or William Culp Darrah's
Powell of the Colorado (Princeton, 1951). Worth searching for are
William N. Byers's 1868 articles in the Rocky Mountain News
detailing his climb with Powell that August. William N. Byers's "First
Ascent of Longs Peak," in The Trail (October 1914) and L. W.
Keplinger's "The First Ascent of Longs Peak," in The Trail (June
1919) afford interesting views of that event.
Numerous individuals and issues within this era have
received attention. Albert Bierstadt's role has been elaborated in
Gordon Hendricks's Albert Bierstadt Painter of the American West
(New York, 1974). Geological surveys brought hangers-on and for examples
see Henry Adams's The Education of Henry Adams (New York, 1918)
or Anna E. Dickinson's A Ragged Register (of People, Places and
Opinions) (New York, 1879). Whether Isabella Bird was really in love
with Mountain Jim has been explored in Louisa Ward Arps "Letters from
Isabella Bird," The Colorado Quarterly, 4(Summer 1955): 26-41,
and Pat Barr's A Curious Life for a Lady (New York, 1972).
Chapter Four: Dreams with Silver Lining
Much of the information on the life of Abner Sprague
can be gleaned from the numerous articles he contributed to the Estes
Park Trail. Other details concerning that era of ranching may be
found in Florence Johnson Shoemaker's The Story of Estes-Rocky
Mountain National Park Region (Master's thesis, Colorado State
College, Greeley, 1940) and Louisa Ward Arps and Elinor Eppich Kingery's
High Country Names (Estes Park, 1977). Western slope settlement
is best discussed in Robert C. Black III's Island in the Rockies
(Boulder, 1969).
For an overview of mining during this era see Duane
Smith's Rocky Mountain Mining Camps (Bloomington, 1967) or an
older examination, J. S. Perky's Homes in and Near the Rocky
Mountains (Fort Collins, 1880). A definitive examination of Rocky
Mountain National Park's mining era is Susan B. Baldwin's Historic
Resource Study, Dutchtown and Lulu City, Rocky Mountain National Park,
Colorado (Creative Land Use, 1980). Numerous articles appearing in
the Georgetown Colorado Miner, the Fort Collins Express,
and the Rocky Mountain News help reconstruct the rise and fall of
mining along the North Fork. An interesting mix of geological
exploration and promotion can be seen in F. V. Hayden's The Great
West: Its Attractions and Resources (Bloomington, 1880). End results
of such booms are described in Robert L. Brown's Ghost Towns in the
Colorado Rockies Caldwell, 1969).
The view of ranches becoming resorts is evident in E.
J. Lamb's Miscellaneous Meditations (Denver?, 1913?) and in Mary
Lyons Carins's Grand Lake in the Olden Days (Denver, 1971). Joe
Mills, brother of Enos Mills, offered A Mountain Boyhood (New
York, 1926) which also provides details of that era. Travelers left
their impressions and one of the most noteworthy is Carrie Adell
Strahorn's Fifteen Thousand Miles by Stage (New York, 1911). J.
S. Flory's Thrilling Echoes From the Wild Frontier (Chicago,
1893) offers an interesting contrast.
The shooting at Grand Lake received definitive
treatment in Robert C. Black III's Island in the Rockies
(Boulder, 1969). Nell Pauly also described the event in Ghosts of the
Shootin' (Grand Lake, 1961). It is still worthwhile to read the
newspaper accounts detailing that incident, especially from the
Georgetown Colorado Miner during July of 1883.
Chapter Five: For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People
Of those involved in the creation of Rocky Mountain
National Park, none have exceeded the attention given Enos Mills. A
sympathetic biography, Hildegarde Hawthorne and Esther Burnell Mills's
Enos Mills of the Rockies (New York, 1935), still should be
examined. Confronting the hero-naturalist image of Mills is Carl
Abbott's "The Active Force: Enos A. Mills and the National Park
Movement," The Colorado Magazine, 56 (Winter/Spring 1979): 56-73
and "'To Arouse Interest in the Outdoors': The Literary Career of Enos
Mills," Montana: The Magazine of Western History, 31 (April
1981): 2-15. Putting Mills into perspective within the movement to
create Rocky Mountain National Park was the task of Patricia M. Fazio in
Cragged Crusade: The Fight for Rocky Mountain National Park,
1909-15 (Master's thesis, University of Wyoming, Laramie, 1982).
Enos Mills's own works still attract readers, with The Adventures of
a Nature Guide (New York, 1923), The Grizzly (Sausalito,
1976), The Rocky Mountain National Park (New York, 1924), The
Rocky Mountain Wonderland (Boston, 1915), Wild Life on the
Rockies (Boston, 1909), and The Spell of the Rockies (Boston,
1911) offering a sample of the books that made him popular.
The conservation movement preceded Mills and it is
always helpful to explore some of its philosophic roots in Carl Bode's
The Portable Thoreau (New York, 1979) or Lewis Mumford's Ralph
Waldo Emerson: Essays and Journals (Garden City, 1968). The
establishment of national forests may be seen in Arthur H. Carhart's
The National Forests (New York, 1959), Michael Frome's Whose
Woods These Are: The Story of the National Forests (New York, 1962),
and Harold K. Steen's The U.S. Forest Service: A History
(Seattle, 1976). National forests in Colorado received attention in
Michael McCarthy's Hour of Trial (Norman, 1977) and Len
Shoemaker's Saga of a Forest Ranger (Boulder, 1958). Rangers
became romantic figures in Zane Grey's The Young Forester (New
York, 1910) and Hamlin Garland's Cavanagh, Forest Ranger (New
York, 1910).
Appreciating the mountains took many forms. Frederick
H. Chapin's Mountaineering in Colorado (Boston, 1889) promoted
mountain climbing. William Allen White's The Autobiography of William
Allen White (New York, 1946) presents Moraine Park as a perfect
resort. Peter Wild's Pioneer Conservationists of Western America
(Missoula, 1979) described the varied avenues conservation could
Chapter Six: Paradise Founded
The story of Agnes Lowe, the Eve of Estes, was
detailed in The Denver Post over the first two weeks of August,
1917. Several other documents relating to that event are in Rocky
Mountain National Park files in the National Archives. Other highlights
of the Park's early administration are described in the Annual
Reports of the Director of the National Park Service and the
Superintendent's Monthly Reports. Lloyd K. Musselman's Rocky
Mountain National Park, Administrative History, 1915-1965 (National
Park Service, 1971) offers the most comprehensive discussion of this
The origins of national park policy and philosophy
are best found in Hans Huth's Nature and the American (Berkeley,
1957), Roderick Nash's Wilderness and the American Mind (New
Haven, 1967), and Alfred Runte's National Parks: The American
Experience (Lincoln, 1972). Robert Shankland's Steve Mather of
the National Parks (New York, 1951) provides insight into the
beginnings of the National Park Service as does William C. Everhart's
The National Park Service (New York, 1972). A broader view of all
the parks is given in John Ise's Our National Park Policy
(Baltimore, 1961). A review of the national parks of the period is
submitted in Robert Sterling Yard's The Book of the National
Parks (New York, 1920) and Enos Mills's Your National Parks
(Boston, 1917). Some insights into the administration of national parks
during that period may be gained from Horace M. Albright and Frank J.
Taylor's Oh, Ranger! (Stanford, 1928).
Superintendent Roger Toll wrote numerous letters,
reports, newspaper and magazine articles, and memoranda that are
scattered throughout Park files and archives. His Mountaineering in
the Rocky Mountain National Park (Washington, 1921) affords a glance
at his promotional efforts. Numerous issues of the Estes Park
Trail display events and individuals significant to the Park. For a
point of view from a Park visitor see John Willy's "A Motor Ride from
St. Joseph, Mo., to Estes Park," Hotel Monthly, 24 (September
1916): 48-56 and "Five Days on Horseback in Rocky Mountain National
Park," Hotel Monthly, 24 (October 1916): 40-53. William Sherman
Bell explored the complexities of the Park's jurisdictional dispute in
"The Legal Phases of Cession of Rocky Mountain National Park," Rocky
Mountain Law Review, 1(1928): 35-46. The death of Agnes Vaille was
described in Carl Blaurock's "Tragedy on Longs Peak," The Denver
Westerners Roundup, 37(September-October 1981): 3-12.
Chapter Seven: Publicity Pays Off
Promotion of the Park continued during the early
1930s and Chief Naturalist Dorr Yeager's Bob Flame, Rocky Mountain
Ranger (New York, 1963) affords a unique example of such efforts.
Later, his Your Western National Parks (New York, 1947) broadened
the scope and discarded the fiction. Somewhat more rustic and realistic
was Jack C. Moomaw's Recollections of a Rocky Mountain Ranger
(Longmont, 1963).
Aside from dozens of government reports on the
subject, road building in Rocky Mountain National Park is best described
in Glen Kaye's Trail Ridge (Estes Park, 1982) and Lloyd K.
Musselman's Rocky Mountain National Park, Administrative History,
1915-1965 (National Park Service, 1971).
Origins of the Civilian Conservation Corps may be
found in Paul Conkin's The New Deal (New York, 1967), David C.
Coyle's Conservation (New Brunswick, 1957), and Edgar B. Nixon's
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Conservation, 1911-1945 (Washington,
1957). A general overview of the CCC is provided in Perry H. Merrill's
Roosevelt's Forest Army, A History of the Civilian Conservation
Corps, 1933-1942 (Montpelier, 1981). Insight into the life of a CCC
enrollee is provided by Battell Loomis's "With the Green Guard,"
Liberty (April 29, 1934): 52-53 and "The C.C.C. Digs In,"
Liberty (May 5, 1934): 46-47.
Building the Colorado-Big Thompson Project is best
described in contemporary articles appearing in the Estes Park
Trail. Edmin J. Foscue and Louis O. Quam offer a chapter on the
subject in Estes Park, Resort in the Rockies (Dallas, 1949).
Chapter Eight: The Price of Popularity
Events of the most recent historical period, like the
1978 Ouzel Fire, are best described in numerous newspaper articles,
especially in the Estes Park Trail-Gazette. Kent and Donna
Dannen's brochure Fire! (Estes Park, c. 1980) describes the event
within its ecological context. Official documents, such as the Board of
Review Transcript of November 8, 1978, are most useful. Oral interviews
with principal eyewitnesses, such as Superintendent Chester Brooks,
Edgar Menning, and James Olson, helped reconstruct that event.
Numerous government documents provide details of the
popularity of Rocky Mountain National Park and the need for Mission 66.
William C. Everhart's The National Park Service (New York, 1972)
put that program in its national context.
Casting a critical eye upon such efforts is F. Fraser
Darling and Noel D. Eichhorn's Man and Nature in the National
Parks (Washington, 1967).
Details of rescues must be reconstructed from sketchy
newspaper accounts or from files of the Chief Ranger. The Hallett Peak
rescue was described through oral interviews with Jerry Hammond and
Frank Betts and from related documents supplied by Mr. Betts. Adventures
on Longs Peak are described in Paul W. Nesbit's Longs Peak
(Colorado Springs, 1969) and Glenn Randall's Longs Peak Tales
(Denver, 1981). An oral interview with William Colony provided insight
into the Rearick Kamps climb.
Discussions regarding wilderness preservation within
the Park are best found in National Park Service Wilderness Hearing
transcripts from 1974. Hundreds of letters on the issue may also be
found in the Park archives. Helping create the mood for that discussion
were Stewart L. Udall's The Quiet Crisis (New York, 1967),
Roderick Nash's Wilderness and the American Mind (New Haven,
1967), and Raymond Frederick Dasmann's A Different Kind of
Country (New York, 1968). More recent explorations of similar issues
may be found in Joseph L. Sax's Mountains without Handrails:
Reflections on the National Parks (Ann Arbor, 1980) and Eugenia
Horstman Connally's National Parks in Crisis (Washington,
Numerous National Park Service reports and studies
deal with administration of the Park. Ken R. White Company's Rocky
Mountain National Park, Transportation Study, Phase I Final Report
(1975) and Richard G. Trahan's Day-Use Limitation in National Parks:
Visitor and Park Personnel Attitudes Toward Day-Use Limitation Systems
for Rocky Mountain National Park (1977) are two of many such

Allow sleep in Better Performance Energy Saver mode
I usually have my PB set on two different power settings: Highest and Custom. With the custom setting you could set the sleep times as you wish then go into the Options and set the Processor Preformance to Highest. You get the best of both worlds and don't have to worry about messing something up in Terminal (I'm bad for that).

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Top States for Adult Obesity
Other Obesity Findings
About 24% of men and women were obese in 2005, says the CDC.
Obesity was least common among adults aged 18-29 years (nearly 18%) and most common among those in their 50s (nearly 30%).
The CDC also broke the obesity data down among whites, blacks, and Hispanics.
About 22% of whites, nearly 34% of blacks, and about 26% of Hispanics were obese in 2005.
More work is needed to reverse America's continued trend toward obesity, says the CDC.
If you're carrying extra pounds that you want to shed, talk to your doctor for pointers on losing weight safely and keeping the pounds off.
Fudge Factor
Survey participants didn't have to step on a scale. They just reported their weight and height by telephone. No one checked that those reports were accurate.
Many people underestimate their weight, the CDC notes. That may be why the CDC's overweight and obesity statistics are higher in studies in which people are weighed.
Those studies show that two-thirds of U.S. adults 20 years old and over are overweight or obese, including 32% who are obese.
