A report received Wednesday morning from the Noble County Sheriff Department:
On June 18th at 12:42 am the Noble County Sheriff Department received a call about a disturbance at the Chain O' Lakes State Park.
Deputies learned from the caller that an intoxicated male was driving around the park and that he had a lifetime license suspension.
A short time later while at the entrance to the park, the male drove up to the front gate, about to exit the park in his vehicle. Deputies instructed the male driver to stop and get out of the vehicle. The driver refused and accelerated westbound out of the park onto CR 75 S. Two Noble County Deputies began pursuit of the vehicle. The vehicle turned south onto St Rd 9 and continued until coming to the intersection of St Rd 9 and US 33. The vehicle turned south onto US 33 and the pursuit continued.
A Churubusco Police officer successfully laid down spike strips and took out the vehicle's front passenger side tire. The pursuit continued on US 33 until the vehicle eventually merged onto Goshen Rd heading into downtown Ft. Wayne. The vehicle turned onto St Mary's Ave until reaching a dead end at which point it pulled into a driveway and the driver took off running from the vehicle. The driver was quickly chased down, tased and taken into custody.
The driver was transported to Parkview Noble Hospital in Kendallville by a Noble County Deputy. Once at the hospital the driver made multiple attempts to escape but was eventually subdued with assistance from the Kendallville Police Department. The driver was later transported to the Noble County Jail.
Charges related to Operating a Vehicle as a Habitual Traffic Violator, Resisting Law Enforcement w/ a vehicle, Operating While Intoxicated, and Battery to a Police Officer Resulting in Bodily Injury are being submitted to the Noble County Prosecutor's Office for review.
The driver was identified as Charlie Marcum II of Ft Wayne.
Assisting the Noble County Sheriff Department were the Churubusco Police Department, Allen County Police Department, Fort Wayne Police Department and the Kendallville Police Department.

I'm fully aware that the police are not responsible for my protection at any time of day. This is one of the key factors in getting my CWP. On the flip side of things If I'm being shot at and feel like my life may end I will react as such, draw pistol, find cover, get ready to take a life, and make the best out of my 16 rounds.
If at any time a cop makes his/her way into that process I will find cover make eye contact with the cop set my gun down and not slide it down the floor like a hockey puck. So I'm not giving up my gun just reassuring him/her that I'm not the threat that needs to be dealt with. If he/she request one more gun in the fight so be it,however, I will not leave the cops side at any time. Like I have said they are the ones with vests so they can take point. I case you haven't seen the key word in this post is cover. Hopefully we both will see another day together or apart.

Turkish prez tw*ts YouTube ban
The Turkish president has come out against his country's banning of YouTube — and he let his opposition be known on Twitter. In a recent tweet, president Abdullah Gül told his 27,893 followers: "About Turkey's YouTube prohibition: I don't approve of the state's blocking of Google categories. Legal channels can be found."1 …
The strange thing about this country is that in some ways, it is quite modern, even by western standards.
But nearly predictably, they display this kind of kneejerkism, should somebody high in the government be insulted. Good that their president at least criticizes Prime Minister Erdogan's Administration. A bit too diplomatic, though.
Blocking Google is for the internet what is castration for a man, maybe that is an analogy Mr Erdogan can understand. Probably the Google ban does not include the government's internet connection....
About a year ago, a cheap turkish airline was caught in Germany with worn-down tyres and consequentially grounded. The kneejerks in the turkish govt responded by grounding LTU, just as a retaliation, probably for insulting national pride or something. LTU had no technical/safety issues whatsoever.
Europe isn't suffering from "kneejerkism", you imply?
Extreme porn laws, detain overlong photographer laws, don't look like you're going to protest near whitehall laws.... And that's just the top of the iceberg in Britain. There's databases, quangos, rumourmills, blocklists, and whatnot else. Almost every ``civilised'' government already has, sometimes quite silently, or is in the process of rolling out ``internet measures'' and ``anti terrorist measures'' that are at least as bad even if they're different.
I say, welcome Turkey right away, that shining example of governmental transparency by comparison. Yes, they look backward, but compared to the supposed advanced rest, they're not at all. Carry on governments.
Never mind farmyards, Washington had far worse things on his mind. Mr Washington, hero and founding father ordered the Sullivan Campaign to "destroy" the Iroquois tribes for siding with the British during the revolutionary wars. A scorched-earth policy that saw the deaths of thousands of innocent Native Americans through starvation.
No one is 100% squeaky clean, everyone has something hiding in the back of the closet. One reason why the governments hate the internet, has nasty habit of airing dirty laundry whether you want it to or not.
Technically pathetic blocking
My understanding is that the implementation of the block is the DNS doesn't respond for the blocked domains. If you use a different DNS you can access Youtube. Apparently it is common knowledge in Turkey how to do this. YouTube is one of the most popular sites in Turkey. I've even heard that it isn't even blocked to this degree on at least one mobile network and it may even be promoted.
Yup, been there a few times and got people to set their own DNS up rather than use the ISP's one and hey presto youtube works
Let's go, Gays!
Woo! Yeah! C'mon!
Umm... what happens now?
Just who does he think he is?
Stephen Conroy?
Quelle surprise?
Turkeys Islamist president is getting all fluffy liberal about a law that seems mainly to be used to censor any badmouthing of the founder of Turkeys avowedly secular state - which gave him and the various incarnations of his Islamist party a good deal of grief over the years, and more recently in his presidential campaign. Perhaps he really is sincere in his desire to reduce censorship in Turkey, but I suspect he'd prefer to replace the current closed mindedness with a more stifling variety more suited to his own politics and beliefs.

Postdoctoral Fellowship, Washington University, 2000-2001
Postdoctoral Fellowship, Johns Hopkins University, Kennedy Krieger Institute, 2002-2004
Research Interests
My research is focused on understanding more clearly how locomotion is controlled. I am particularly interested in the motor control problems that occur as a result of neurodegenerative disease processes such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). I have recently been funded by the Dana Foundation for "Evaluation of white matter fiber tracts in the brain and their relationship to recovery of locomotion during an acute exacerbation of multiple sclerosis."
In my studies I capitalize upon the strengths of the Motion Analysis laboratory in which we have developed quantitative impairment measures of spasticity, ataxia and muscle strength in addition to kinematic measures of walking. In a previous study I show evidence that pathologically relevant impairment measures contribute uniquely to patterns of ambulation in individuals with AMN. We are further developing this type of pathologically relevant impairment model so that it can be used to track disease progression in people with AMN. Studies with this population are ongoing.
I also study mechanisms of locomotion and its recovery in individuals with MS. My studies address the gap in the knowledge of how recovery after an acute exacerbation of MS affects mechanisms of locomotion. Despite the fact that MS is a common neurodegenerative disease, progress towards understanding the mechanisms responsible for recovery has been hampered by the disease's highly heterogeneous pathology and symptoms. My studies will use quantitative measures of impairments and ambulation in conjunction with imaging measures of neural connectivity to evaluate locomotion and its recovery in individuals with MS. Through collaborations with the Kirby Imaging Center in the Kennedy Krieger Institute I will be able to use novel imaging tools to test the association between pathologically relevant axonal damage and the recovery of locomotion following an acute episode in MS. These associations are critical to our understanding of how neuropathology and functional mobility are related and will improve our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the recovery of locomotion. The information gained in this study will allow us to begin to predict which people will recover best after an acute exacerbation. We will also have a scientific basis for classifying different subtypes of individuals with MS that could then be used to evaluate the likely efficacy of different rehabilitative or pharmacological therapies. It will also allow us to determine if there are subgroups that might benefit from different, specific types of physical or occupational therapy (e.g., training aimed at "learning" a more normal walking pattern versus training via compensatory measures).

I see what you are saying and don't disagree. The champ should be headlining. One of the main things they should do is unify the titles. I mean have Bryan beat Sheamus on Smackdown next week and make Punk/Bryan a unification match. Now I know that wont happen and Sheamus will probably be champ for a few months at least but having two titles makes the belts feel unimportant as well.
I hate when Cena is main eventing and he isnt in the title picture. Like at Elimination Chamber. WTF was that headlining for? It really made Punk and Bryan look like backpage news compared to Cena. It was ridiculous Savage/Flair didnt close WM8, as much as I didnt like them at the time it's stupid Nash/HBK didnt close WM11 and no offense to Rock and Cena I think Punk/Jericho should have close WM. I get why they didn't. Cena and Rock are more popular thn Punk. I wont disagree with that. Hogan was more popular thn Savage. I think they were just smoking pot in 1995 tbh. They are trying to appeal to the casual fans and kids. Do you see a lot of males 19-39 who like Cena and Sheamus?
WWE has so much wrapped up in Cena. I really dont get why he is so popular. Im not a fan and never have been. Not a hater either. He has his good and bad qualities but I find him very boring. Same with Sheamus. I find Punk & Bryan very entertaining but I also found Hogan very boring and Savage entertaining.
Oh well.

April 27, 2011
Earlier this month, the World Bank released its 2011 World Bank Development Report, "Conflict, Security and Development." This highly ambitious report intends to challenge conventional wisdom and propose a new strategy for the international community to help countries emerge from war, long-running violent conflict, entrenched criminality, and fragility. In my view, the report has accomplished this goal, and in so doing, may change the way we work with fragile states and conflict-affected regions.

March 30, 2011
Since Thailand's color politics began pitting the People's Alliance for Democracy's (PAD) "Yellow-Shirt" movement against the National United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship's (UDD) "Red-Shirt" movement, political watchers have insisted that the Thai people are bitterly divided in their loyalties to rival political factions. The view holds that an old-guard elite preference for guided democracy has collided with a populist call from marginalized farmers and wage earners to return Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to power.

Tokai University Supported by Panasonic Wins the Sasol Solar Challenge South Africa 2012
- Sep 29, 2012
- [Asia & Oceania] [Middle East & Africa]
- Category: Design, ECO, Events, Sponsorship, Technology
Tokai University's Solar Car Team, sponsored by Panasonic, won the Sasol Solar Challenge South Africa 2012 on September 28, 2012! Equipped with Panasonic's top level HIT® solar cell as well as high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, Tokai University's solar car successfully completed the longest distance solar car race in the world held from September 18 to 28, 2012 in South Africa.
Here's an exclusive report on the Sasol Solar Challenge 2012 by our reporter, Viktoriya.
The Sasol Solar Challenge is an epic two-week country-wide endurance challenge. What begins at South Africa's administration capital, Pretoria; continues over a span of four days, all the way to Cape Town. Following a day's rest, the teams travel to East London after passing through the southern coastal line of the country. They then return to Pretoria in 11 days. This year, a total of fourteen teams from around the world challenged this harsh 4,800 km loop. However, not all the teams managed to complete 11-day journey across the country, covering some of the most demanding terrain South Africa has to offer.
Professor Hideki Kimura of Tokai University, advisor to the solar car team, expressed his joy: "The course was very challenging, long with lots of ups and downs. But the students' teamwork and Panasonic's HIT solar cells and lithium-ion batteries made a formidable combination and brought us our third win in a row. We are more than happy with our achievement."
The Sasol Solar Challenge South Africa shows people how advanced solar technology coupled with engineering innovations can contribute in eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. With the abundant sunlight in South Africa, Panasonic is able to make even greater use of renewable energy via its solar technology. This eco-efficiency challenge is an exciting competition aimed at educating people in the areas of science, green innovation and teamwork.
"The students superbly maneuvered the solar car," said Masato Ito, President, Energy Company of Panasonic Corporation. "They took advantage of our high-performance HIT solar panels and high capacity lithium-ion batteries to the fullest extent and made us proud to be part of the winning team."
Products and Technologies Provided by Panasonic
Panasonic HIT® solar cells are hybrids of single crystalline silicon surrounded by ultra-thin amorphous silicon layers. With high energy conversion efficiency, excellent temperature performance, and high energy output per unit area, the cells are ideal for obtaining maximum power within a limited space. These greatly lift the performance of the solar car in the Sasol Solar Challenge where regulations limit the total area of solar cells that can be installed on the body.
Panasonic also provided cylindrical 18650-type high-capacity lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. These high-capacity, long-enduring, and lightweight batteries utilize Panasonic's proprietary nickel-based positive electrodes and have the highest level of energy density in the industry. They can operate for long periods of time and can be linked in lightweight battery pack arrays.

text: CNN: Bombing Suspects' Mother on Terror Watch List Since 2011 Print article Send a Tip by Michael Patrick Leahy 26 Apr 2013 post a comment CNN reported on Friday that Zubeidat Tsarnaev, the mother of Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was placed on the federal government's terror watch list in 2011. According to CNN, Tsarnaev was added to the list in response to warnings to American authorities delivered by Russian officials: U.S. authorities did add Zubeidat Tsarnaev and her older son to the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDE, database in 2011 -- a collection of more than a half million names maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center, an intelligence official said. Local Boston television station WCVB elaborated on that news on Friday, reporting, "The FBI interviewed Zubeidat Tsarnaeva about concerns that her son, Tamerlan, was taking a radical turn, but cleared both of them." Ms. Tsarnaeva also told CNN on Friday that neither she nor her husband now currently plan on traveling to the United States; they have moved from their respective residences in Dagestan to an undisclosed location elsewhere in Russia.

Some Life Lessons from Mom & Dad – Part Three
I gleaned more wisdom from my parents than any blog could contain, but here are three more lessons that stand out in my mind and heart as I remember Bob & Reka, lovebirds to the end.
A Blog by
the Faculty of
Talbot School of Theology
I gleaned more wisdom from my parents than any blog could contain, but here are three more lessons that stand out in my mind and heart as I remember Bob & Reka, lovebirds to the end.
It's been over two weeks since I last shared on the Good Book Blog. That means it's time for me to share some more tidbits for life gleaned from my folks.
This year's Mother's and Father's Day season brought to mind some wisdom my folks shared with me years ago. These morsels of sound reason have helped me navigate the diverse oceans and streams I've crossed over the years. I do realize that not everyone has great parents, but mine were pretty solid. So, please let me share some of the gold I received from Bob & Reka Boersma, two lovebirds who shared an incredible adventure in life with four kids and a huge assortment of farm animals.
It should come as no surprise that in times of leadership change those being led get a bit jumpy. Maybe you are waiting to see who the new senior pastor will be – the one who will have a huge stake in your future as an associate staff member. Or you are witnessing a changing of the guard in your mission organization. My wife and I, along with many of our colleagues and friends, have experienced major changes in leadership in the last couple of years, both here at Talbot (new Dean) and at church (new senior pastor). Happily, our experiences have gone very well.
Nehemiah is one of the most heralded examples of leadership found in the scriptures. We have been focusing on his heart, and saw in Part One how he (1) cared enough to accurately assess the circumstances confronting his people; (2) was sensitive to the brokenness of his people; and (3) was focused continually on redeeming the lives of his people.
Pastors have many roles. They are teachers, evangelists, caregivers, guardians, and leaders. Much is written about these areas of endeavor, but perhaps none as much as leadership. Recently the Society of Human Resource Managers released figures from a global survey of corporations that revealed 57% of all of the organizations surveyed employ outside vendors to provide leadership training. Companies know the great importance of good leadership.
A couple years back my wife Rolane and I visited ten of our wonderful Midwest Talbot alumni. What a joy to see them all thriving, finding God faithful, and knowing days of effective and challenging ministry. While we were in the area, we took the opportunity to visit my hometown of Hospers, Iowa and spent a little time with my cousins living there. Some of them I hadn't been with in over 30 years - so long that we all wore nametags to keep from getting confused!
While I only spent the first seventeen years of my life on the farm, it played a significant role in who I am today. In going back home, certain impressions left their mark on my mind and heart. Let me elaborate ...

Colorado and AZ
- wyf4lyf Jul 3, 2007 11:42 PM
We'll be driving from Chicago to Tucson this summer, spending a chunk of time in Colorado along the way. We'll either cross into CO on I-70 in Colorado Springs or on I-50 into Pueblo. We'll be heading to Gunnison, then south on 550 to Ouray and Durango before heading west into AZ.
In AZ we want to visit Canyon de Chelly then will probably stop in either Holbrook or Winslow before heading back to Tucson.
Any help along these routes would be most appreciated!! We're looking mostly for "road food" ...diners and interesting local places. However, if there are particulary special mid-to-upper range places, please do mention them!
In Winslow, the Turquoise Room at La Posada (www.laposada.org) should not be missed. They are open for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, offer up close and personal train viewing and wonderful accomodations. We stay there whenever we can.
In Gallup, Earl's Restaurant on south side of Rte 66 just east of the center of town is a great local's place.
In Tucson, we always try to have a dinner at El Corral (www.elcorraltuscon.com) on East River Road. Best Filet Mignon and Roast Beef you can find, and at reasonable prices.
Check out "Chowhound" on the JerTalk portion of our website for other recommendations.

re: Jerry Saywell
Did not know Gallup's Earl's Restaurant, but strongly vote for La Posada (good place to stay for the night and it's pet-friendly).
The Scottsdal Area of PHX is a foodie paradise. Do a search of this board, and you'll want to spend a month near there.
In Tucson, there are two spots, that I highly recommend: Janos @ La Paloma and The Ventana Room, Lowe's Ventana Canyon Resort. Both are in the North Area of Tucson, right next to the Catalina Mtns. Both are great and each is worth the stop. You should turn up some recent reviews of each - I think that I have at least one for each, that are fairly recent. Both are in the $$$$ range, but are each worth the money.
re: Jerry Saywell
Earl's in Gallup for breakfast.
It doesn't get any better if you like Green Chili.
In Gallup, El Sombrero on 1201 W Historic Hwy 66 is a best bet for true old school New Mexico-style green chile. The sopaipillas ain't bad, either.
Should you pass through Glenwood Springs if traveling on I-70, Juicy Lucy's is great -- fantastic steaks, good salads and an affordable, decent wine list.
Other than that, in Colorado Springs, steer clear of the ubiquitous chains -- Old Chicago and the like -- if you want a really good meal.
Thanks! We've lived in Tucson and still haven't eaten at El Corral! We live on the other side of town and just haven't gotten there yet.
By the way everyone, we won't be travelling through Gallup...we'll go from Colorado directly into Arizona.
Keep the recs coming! I appreciate them all!
re: GroovinGourmet
The food and wifi sound good, but I'm afraid we're not beer drinkers. Any other suggestions?
re: wyf4lyf
Nobody says you have to order beer!
re: RobynS
Sorry...we'd be taking I-70 west then turning south on I-24 I think toward CO Springs.
re: wyf4lyf
Okay, unfortunately then I can't help you much since I don't know that area very well but enjoy your trip across Colorado, it's a beautiful one!
re: wyf4lyf
That will be I-25, which goes S., unless you go US 285, which goes out of S. Denver to Gunnison, or US 24 out of the Springs - also to Gunnison. They meet up in Southpark, and you'll probably take US 50 over Monarch Pass to Montrose. Used to be a good restaurant at the Cattleman's Hotel in Gunnison, but it's been over 10 years, since I last dined there. If you have time, take the drive up to Crested Butte. Even though you are not into beer, it's a neat little ski town, with plenty of grub.
Unfortunately, it's been too many years since I did either, then US 550 down to NM. I used to have some good spots, but most/many are probably gone by now. Anyway, either is a lovely drive, especially US 550, once outside of Montrose, down through the San Juans. Spend as much time, as you can, in that area. Do not just pass it by, as it is a "wonder of the world." Sorry, no current food recs. Also, a side-trip to Telluride is worth the effort. Check out the route over Lizardhead Pass to Dolores and then down through NM, or backtrack. You could spend a month in the San Juans and not hate one second of it.
Enjoy, and drive safely,
re: wyf4lyf
WVF4LYF - That would be I-25, not I-24. IMHO, this is an awkward way to get from Denver to Ouray, esp if you trundle all the way down to Pueblo before heading into the mountains. We live in Boulder. My son lives in Durango. He and we travel diagonally across the state a lot. Cutting across on US 285 has proved to be the best -- unless you hit the Denver-Bailey westbound stretch during the afternoon rush hour. But then, I-25 is no fun during the rush hour either, esp going south our of Denver and through Colorado Springs.
re: ClaireWalter
If you take 285 (which is MUCH prettier than I-25), stop in Salida (a small detour off route) for a meal at Laughing Ladies. Exceptionally good food for such a small town. Or if you want something quicker, grab a bite at Amicas--they've got wood-fired thin crust pizza, calzones, panini and lots of interesting salads. Want a good latte? Stop in at Bongo Billy's Salida cafe and sip your coffee back by the river.
In Gunnison, have breakfast at the W cafe. Very good Huevos Rancheros. In Ouray, I like the restaurant in the Beaumont hotel ww.beaumonthotel.com. Be prepared for some of the most spectacular scenery in the country. If you have the time in Ouray, take a Jeep trip. Black Bear Pass is thrilling!
From I-70 you would be taking I-25 south through Denver if you are heading towards Colorado Springs. There is a wonderful little local Mexican restaurant called La Fogata near I-25 and Evans (http://www.la-fogata.com/location_eva...). Also, if you like Thai food, a couple miles out of your way but definitely worth it is Thai Hiep (http://denver.citysearch.com/profile/...). YUM!!!
re: clemery
If you take I-70, your best route to Ouray is I-70 west of Denver to C-470 to US 285 thru Bailey and Fairplay via Kenosha Pass, then eventually west on US 50 over Monarch Pass to Gunnison and beyond.
On that long stretch of 285 through South Park (the name was the inspiration for the TV show), avoid the Como Depot.There's a newish Italianish restaurant/deli in Fairplay, but the name escapes me. Turn right at the traffic light onto CO 9, and it's on a parallel street one block over. It's an Italian name. When you get to Johnson Village (truck stops, gas stations), instead of turning left and continuing on 285, turn right a few miles into Buena Vista. Cute town w/ a few good Mexican restaurants. If you continue down 285, you can detour a few miles into Salida, a larger and cuter town. Laughing Ladies is my favorite restaurants there. I've been underwhelmed by the restaurants in Gunnison, but then, I'm usually heading for Crested Butte and am "almost there" by the time I get to Gunnison.
Ouray is worth some time, because it's such a scenic knock-out. The gorgeous Hotel Beaumont was renovated a few years ago from wreck to luxury. Last I heard, it was for sale. The Tundra Restaurant in the hotel is/was reputedly the best in town, but I haven't eaten there. It is/was open only for dinner. Le Papillon, just off the main drag, is/was a good bakery and deli.
Fasten your seatbelt for the drive over the Million Dollar Highway crossing Red Mountain Pass into Silverton. Make a quick detour into downtown Silverton. Watch the train come in from or leave for Durango. A lot of touristy shops, but a very neat town. If nothing else, have a cup of coffee at the Avalanche Coffee House.
Continue south on US 550 into Durango, which has been written about on other threads here.
US 50 from takes you past the ourskirts of Pueblo along the Arkansas River to Salida and Gunnison. It's a beautiful drive, but I know nothing about restaurants along that stretch.
re: clemery
Actually, there is a cut off from I-70 east of Denver taking Hwy 24 southwest into Colorado Springs which is shorter than going all the way into Denver and then south.
re: RobynS
Thanks for all the suggestions. We've finally settled on our route. From Dodge City, KS we'll be heading west to Pueblo, CO which is along US-50. We'll stay in Pueblo one night (breakfast recs anyone?) and then head to Ouray from there. Sorry for the confusion!
re: wyf4lyf
OK, going US 50, in Pagosa Springs, not too far outside of Alamosa (well, by Western standards, anyway), Joe Cocker (the singer - "A Little Help From My Friends," et al), has a diner just outside the city. Cannot bring up the name now, but everyone in Alamosa, or Pagosa Springs, will know it. The food was excellent and who knows, Cocker might be working the room.
re: Bill Hunt
I was intrigued, so I looked this up. The place was in Crawford...but it's no longer there. :( Closed in 2003.
re: wyf4lyf
Bummer! Sorry to intrigue you, only to let you down. Unfortunately, it's been too many years, since I lived in CO and plied those roadways.
Thanks for the update,
re: Bill Hunt
Bill - Check your map. Pagosa Springs is on US 160, west of Wolf Creek Pass, not along US 50.
re: ClaireWalter
Duh, that's what I get when I fly from memory, and not an Atlas. You are so correct, and I am shamed. Thanks for the clarification. I know that the OP will appreciate it.
Since we usually headed down from Denver, and did US 285 into Montrose, I had forgotten my HWY #'s.
re: Bill Hunt
Bill - Check your map again. US 285 goes south thru Colorado into New Mexico and eventually to Texas. It doesn't go anywhere near Montrose either. I empathize w/ your memory for routes. I do, however, live in Colorado and am a ski, food and travel writer, so I know my state pretty well.
re: ClaireWalter
Yes, I should have put in all of the junctions - US285 to US50 over Monarch Pass to Gunnison and on to Montrose, where one picks up US550 (Million $ Hwy) down to NM to US54 to US666 to I-40.
re: wyf4lyf
There's a Conway's Red Top (my rec for the Springs) in downtown Pueblo.
re: RobynS
Actually, if I were driving from Chicago to Colorado, I'd go straight west on I-80 (unless I had a burning desire to do something alolng I-70) and then I-76 from the NE corner of CO down to the Denver area.
re: ClaireWalter
Folks, this isn't a road trip site....but the reason we're not zipping along I-80 is because we want to follow Route 66 out of Chicago for awhile...we have friends to see in St. Louis, friends to see in a little town in Kansas along US-50, etc! We have no need to go to Denver. We wnat a more backroads experience. This is a road trip for fun...and we want to find some interesting chow along the way. So....back to the chow.... :)
re: wyf4lyf
US-50 will take you right past Salida (see my post above, sorry I posted before reading all the way through)--but don't be fooled, there's much more to the food scene (and the town) than what you see from US-50. If you don't detour up 291 (a mile or two at most), you'll miss all the good chow. Also, I've done a lot of eating in Pueblo but found nothing really chow-worthy. I'd spend my calories (and my night) in Salida if timing allowed.
Oh! make sure to get some melons in Rocky Ford. Tiny little town on US-50 with the sweetest melons around. Will you have anywhere to cook? If so, pick up Olathe corn when/if you see it. It's from another tiny town in Colorado (west side of the state, so you won't be going through), and the corn's so good there's seldom/never any to share with the rest of the country.
A few recs for the Ouray area. We had a great dinner a few years ago at Drakes in Ridgway, which is very close to Ouray. Excellent burgers and wine list. Get a seat on the patio for great views and visits from the hummingbirds. Also, in Ouray there was a great coffe shop that I don't recall the name of. They roasted their own organic beans and had a doughnut machine that could make mini treats on the spot. They also had fresh produce from a local farmer available. I recall small purple potatos that helped create some memorable hash browns at our campsite.
re: jtc
I'll second the coffee place with the doughnut machine. It's on your left just as you come into town from the north. Wyf, as you are getting the heck out of Dodge (and this has nothing to do with food I'm sorry), take the time to stop at the tiny park on the right about 2 miles out. It's a stop that allows you to see the last traces of the wagon tracks west. You won't see ruts, but if you look with a broad eye, you'll see that 150 years later, the vegetation grows differently where thousands of wagons trampled it flat for about the width of an interstate. What do you figure they had for roadfood?
re: thinks too much
That is a wonderful idea...will copy that onto my "things to do page" and bring with me. Thanks!
re: wyf4lyf
That looks to be it. Hope they still have the doughnut machine!
In Salida, the food at Amica's (136 East Second Street) is exceptional; don't be put off by people standing inside the door -- they are waiting to order, not waiting for a table. In downtown Durango, try Cosina Linda off Albertson's parking lot: Linda grew up in Michoacan and her simple, tasty food is in the style of that state. Also good is Zia Tacaria on north Main Street around the 3100 block, opposite Mac's Liquor. For expensive food, the Seasons and Ken & Sues are the two best, both downtown on Main. Out of town by 10 miles on the road to Cortez (which is on the best route from Druango to Canyon de Chelley ) the Kennebec Cafe is a favorite, though not inexpensive. In Mancos, Pangyia is new and holds much promise. If you go to Mesa Verde, eat a pricey, but worth-it dinner (they serve only dinner) at the Matate Room. In Chinle, the restaurant at the mouth of the canyon (I think it's the Turquoise Cafe) serves ok food and is a much more interesting place to eat than the Holiday Inn. .
Salida, CO 81201
Phone: 719-539-5219
re: nharper
Thanks for all of that info. Does Amica's serve breakfast? We'll be staying in Pueblo for the night and will want to leave in the morning and head to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. If we can get a big breakfast either in Pueblo along the way, that should sustain us until we're done at Black Canyon.
re: wyf4lyf
I'm pretty sure Amica's does not serve breakfast. They specialize in paninni, salads and pizza along with wine and beer. I always order paninni. I'm told there is a very good breakfast place by the foot bridge over the river in the old downtown.
re: nharper
No breakfast at Amica's and the good breakfast place on F street (by the bridge in downtown) went under. West Side Cafe (on G street) has diner eggs/etc. Should fill you up. For total Americana, you can stop at the Patio Cafe on US-50; I like their vegetarian green chile (and that's all I ever order there) but the rest is total midwest diner. (West Side Cafe has diner food that leans toward chow, if that makes any sense.)
re: wyf4lyf
It's about 150 miles fr Pueblo to Black Canyon/Gunnison NP. US 50 is not fast where it parallels the Arkansas River in the Royal Gorge area or where it crosses Monarch Pass (esp for many flatland drivers). If all you are doing is driving into the park and along the scenic south rim, stopping at an overlook here and there, that part won't take terribly long. It is a beautiful park (a mini-Grand Canyon in a way) but not a large one, and the south rim section is the smaller of the two..
I didn't mean to include Amica's zip and phone number at the end of my post. Sorry for the confusion.
re: ClaireWalter
Is Purple Sage in the old Antero Grill location?
re: miss louella
Purple Sage is indeed the former Antero Grill location -- as well as some kind of English-themed beefery before that (can't remember the name), which is why it has that stucco/timber exterior.

Asa Bales Park
The lush green park in Westfield that allows you to just relax and unwind, derives its name from a very benevolent soul. Asa Bales was the person who gave Westfield its name and engaged in noble works of kindness. He desired for the establishment of a school and an orphanage within the city. The park is now a serene place where one can just soak in the fresh air and rejuvenate. The playground and picnic shelter are flooded by several in the city. Head straight to the park for a relaxing jog or to simply enjoy moments of solitude.

Fresh Idea for a Healthy Meal
Jan 6th, 2014
What Makes a Recipe "Healthy"?
Heart healthy. High-fiber. Low-carb. In the never-ending quest to "eat healthy," a lot of terms get bounced around—but what exactly do they mean? To stick to a more healthful diet you need to know how to evaluate the nutrition facts on your recipes and packaged food labels. Keep in mind that "healthy" guidelines are not standardized across organizations: different groups may have different points of view.
Healthy recipes defined
The following guidelines for evaluating the health impact of Aisle7 recipes was developed with a nutritionist and other health professionals. Our heart-healthy criteria are based on the American Heart Association's recommendations. Generally, we judge a recipe "healthy" when it meets the recommended daily nutritional amounts per serving as defined below for a typical 2,000 calorie diet.
- Cholesterol: Less than 300 mg per day
- Total carbohydrate: No more than 300 grams per day
- Fiber: At least 25 grams per day
- Sodium: No more than 2,400 mg per day
- Potassium: At least 3,500 mg per day
- Protein: No more than 50 grams per day
- Total fat: No more than 65 grams per day
- Saturated fat: No more than 20 grams per day
- Trans fats: Trans fatty acids occur naturally in meat and dairy products in small amounts but are created artificially when oils are partially hydrogenated to increase the shelf life of packaged products. High trans fat intake has been associated with increased heart disease risk. Avoid transfats whenever possible, particularly those from partially hydrogenated oils, and limit your overall intake to less than 1% of your daily calories.
Other recipe categories
- High-Fiber: At least 5 grams per serving
- Low-Carb: 35% or fewer calories from carbohydrates
- Low-Sodium: 140 mg or less per serving
- Low-Fat: 3 grams or less per serving and less than 30% of calories from fat
- Heart Healthy: 3 grams or less total fat, 1 gram or less saturated fat, 20 mg or less cholesterol, 480 mg or less sodium, 10% of one of the following: vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, protein, or dietary fiber
- Low-Sugar: 5 grams or less per serving
- Low-Glycemic Index: Complex definition requiring other information
- Gluten-Free: No wheat, barley, rye, spelt, or processed oats
- Quick & Easy: 30 minutes or less to prep and cook; six or fewer ingredients
- Kid-Friendly: Healthy, well-rounded nutrition; easy to make and eat; not for a complex palette
- Budget-Friendly: Meals for less than $3 per serving. Ingredient costs reflect the national average and may fluctuate by region and retailer.
- Diabetes-Friendly: Follows complex healthy eating guidelines that do not apply to all people with diabetes.

Florida Film Festival 2014 movie reviews
Not sure what flicks to catch at this year's fest? Use our reviews as your guide
Published: April 2, 2014
★★★★ (out of 5 stars)
Program: Special screenings, spotlight film
Little Nick Cassavetes has finally grown up and is making his daddy proud. Indeed, if John, the pioneering independent filmmaker, were alive today, he'd probably be making films like his son's Yellow, a boldly original and surreal take on mental illness, drug abuse, incest, religion and family dysfunction.
Co-written by and starring Nick's wife, Heather Wahlquist (who plans to attend one screening), the film focuses on the crumbling life of Mary Holmes and her equally insane relatives. Addicted to drugs and alcohol, unable to hold a job and haunted by an unbearable secret, she leaves Los Angeles to stay with her mom (Melanie Griffith, in her best role in years) in Oklahoma. There she's also reunited with her mentally disturbed sister (the brilliant Lucy Punch) and her religious harpy of a grandmother (Gena Rowlands, Nick Cassavetes' mother) while juggling other characters from her past.
One of Mary's sisters has Tourette's, but Mary has a sort of mental Tourette's, unable to separate reality from imagination, and her fantasies are portrayed in off-the-wall deconstructionist ways. A drama on the surface, Yellow launches oddly, and not always successfully, into comedy, musical and even animation to depict the crazy world inside Mary's cranium. It's August: Osage County – with a lot more psychedelic drugs!
I overheard fellow critics describe Yellow as a vastly entertaining train wreck. Well, this is one train I'd like to be on – just give me a seat belt. – CM
Animated Shorts program
Because they are rarely seen outside festivals, short films are often fest-goers' favorites, and the English-language animated program is often a top draw. Though this year's block is entertaining and even moving at times, and features a variety of styles and tones, the quality is down from years past, with only four of the 17 films deserving a thumbs-up.
Though Yearbook (4 stars), a meditation on the fleeting nature of human civilization, is crudely animated in a hand-drawn style, and the voice-over could be crisper, it's viciously intelligent and thought-provoking, and might elicit a tear. It's too bad you have to sit through some mediocrity to get there, as the film by Bernardo Britto is the ninth of the block. Yes, you'll encounter Steven Vander Meer's meticulously crafted Salmon Deadly Sins (3 stars), an imaginative take on greed, envy and the rest of the traditional no-no's, but you'll also have to sit through Raw Data (1 star) and The Last Orange Grove of Middle Florida (1 star), in addition to a couple of flicks better suited to the Midnight Shorts program.
Depending upon your taste for the abstract, you may appreciate the surreal and nicely animated Shelter (3 stars), which precedes Yearbook, but if you stay for the duration, you'll cringe through the hopelessly unnecessary Drifters (1 star), Twiller Parkour (1 star) and Twiller Parkour #2 (1 star).

"Lawsuit Alleging Failure to Educate Jailed Teens Is Settled"
November 1, 2010
Beverly Hills Courier

ELKTON, Va. (WHSV) -- Wildfires can ignite easily this time of year.
This is especially true when you start fires before 4 p.m. on days when particular conditions are present.
The three conditions that you need for wildfires to start and to spread can occur in the Valley.
They include: clear skies, relatively warm conditions and wind.
The fire marshal is investigating how the fire shown in this photo, shared with us via Rockingham County First Alert , began Sunday afternoon in the 17000 block of Sapling Ridge Road.
The Virginia Department of Forestry said a statewide outdoor burning law is in effect until the end of April because of fires like this.
That law applies to fires within a football field's length of the woods or fields with dry grass on warm windy days.
With the weather conditions we're experiencing, those in the firefighting business know all too well how quickly things can get out of control.
"Even if you have a half-acre grass fire, an acre grass fire, you tie up two or three fire departments and some other emergency responders on that. If we can prevent that, they can be available to do other things," explained Mike Armstrong. He's the Deputy Fire Marshal with Rockingham County's Fire & Rescue Department.
If a fire does break out as a result of your illegal burning, you could be facing fines up to $500 and have to pay for the cost of any of the damages that might result.

Several Pacelli High School freshmen stood outside in the cold temperatures to ring bells for the Salvation Army.
The even added a little Christmas cheer with the tunes of jingle bells. Other students hand-picked and wrapped more than 186 gifts and prepared meals for area Christmas dinners.
"It feels really good cause it gives us a chance to give people gifts who normally wouldn't get something," says student Gretchen Treml.
The students delivered the food and gifts to local shut-ins and the Salvation Army.

Speciality coffee shop to open in Bedford
Barrett is passionate about coffee and will soon open a 12,000-square-foot wholesale and retail operation on Harvey Road in Bedford, where she will offer seminars on the cupping method and brewing and, of course, have free coffee tastings.
CQ's Kenya Kirinyaga Karimiku Peaberry — a mild coffee with a hint of fruit punch, nutmeg and caramel — recently ranked fifth out of about 100 specialty coffee entries by Coffee Review, a world-wide buying guide. Her Kenya coffee earned 95 points and ranked in the Top 30.
Her company is among about 350 certified roasters in the country, and she adheres to the Specialty Coffee Association of America guidelines.
"The whole cherry is removed and laid out on drying beds in the sun. It develops a really rustic, wild fruity cup," Barrett said.
"Always grind fresh, because as soon as you grind it the clock actually starts ticking," she said.
"There's so much science in specialty coffees," she said.
Since then, her company has grown, and she recently achieved 15,000 orders in 45 days, and 95 percent of her business is through national mail order. With a small staff of roasters and drivers, she is very select in where her coffee is sold so she can control quality.
CQ offers local door-to-door coffee deliveries in Bedford on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Thursdays in Manchester.

A career-focused dancer who's sworn off men...
A cursed crystal warrior on borrowed time....
When career-focused dancer Chalcedony (Chalcey) is given a piece of wulfenite crystal, Wulfenite, Lord Keeper of the Shifting Sands fief, emerges from the crystal and kisses her like there's no tomorrow. He's dressed like an ad for We Love Leather, with killer abs and delectable pectorals. He looks like the man of her dreams, but you know what they say: "If he looks too good to be true, run like hell!"
Wulf has finally escaped a centuries-long imprisonment and he wants Chalcedony more than anything he's wanted in his life. She doesn't stand a chance. Before she realizes what's at stake, she's bonded to Wulf and his life is in her hands. And when the Crystal Guardian's curse threatens everything she's worked for, Chalcey must figure out how to save Wulf before it's too late.

Pieter observed the approaching warriors in the fist-sized hunk of polished beryl that served as his scrying ball. The raiders called themselves Styrians, Storm Riders. Pieter's countrymen had named them the Stone Warriors—men hard and cold and unforgiving as the crystals for which each was named. They ranged far and wide, raiding village after village with swift and deadly precision. Comely women of childbearing age, they enslaved. Children and those females too young or too elderly for their purposes, they abandoned to fend for themselves. Not a hint of mercy shadowed their piercing, sapphire-hued eyes. Truly, they were men of stone.
The inhabitants of the defenseless small villages scattered around the countryside quailed before these fearsome warriors. None had dared make more than a token stand. Until now. Magic had brought them here, just as Pieter had foreseen, and 'twas magic would vanquish them. He had read the portents and spent years preparing himself for this day, searching far and wide for the necessary crystals, be-spelling them to the best of his ability. He was ready…. He hoped. And prayed in his heart of hearts that he would prove himself worthy of the gifts his goddess had bestowed upon him.
He shuffled to the hearth. Using a wadded cloth, he took his battered old kettle from the fire and poured the pain-killing tea into the silver cup that was his most prized possession. As he sipped the tea, Pieter ran gnarled fingers over the patterns engraved on the cup and muttered the incantation beneath his breath. He must remain strong and focused. His intent must not falter, not even for an instant.
He drained the cup and set it carefully aside before snatching up the precious bundle of crystals. He cradled it to his chest as he hurried from his hut. 'Twas time to meet his destiny.
The thundering of hooves heralded their arrival. Pieter had to shield his eyes against the glare of the noon-day sun before he spied them, silhouetted against the hillside. They rode with no accompanying hue or cry. Each man was silent as the grave.
The same could not be said of the villagers. Shrieks of terror split the air. Most ran to their huts and cowered within. Bah. As if mere wood and thatch would save them.
