Fifty-four peaks. More than 140 routes. And hundreds of thousands of feet in elevation. Here, the ultimate beginner's guide to climbing Colorado's famous fourteeners.
Photos by Jeff Nelson
TRAILHEAD ELEVATION 12,000 feet (Southwest Ridge from Fourmile Creek standard route)
SUMMIT ELEVATION 14,036 feet
HIKING DISTANCE 5.25 miles, starting at the gate
TIME 2.5 hours up; 1 hour down
DRIVE TIME FROM DENVER 2 to 2.5 hours
A Historical Twist
Taking a lowlander to altitude and then asking her to summit a tall mountain is almost never a great idea. In fact, it's often a recipe for respiratory distress. But I'd gotten the day off from work to conquer what would be my ninth fourteener—and I needed a climbing buddy. So I texted my friend Emily, who happened to be visiting from the East Coast.
"Wanna do a fourteener with me on Friday?" Although Emily had lived in Colorado off and on for five years before moving to Boston, I knew she'd never done a fourteener. She texted me back with a quick, "Yes!" On the morning of the hike, we pack the car with provisions, agree if at any point Emily can't handle the elevation we'll turn around, and leave Denver around 8 a.m. We reach the trailhead at 10:30 a.m. I'd hoped to get there earlier to avoid afternoon storms, but sleeping in got the better of us. We luck out with a bluebird day.
The first half of the hike is gradual; an old rock-strewn road winds us up and around various mining ruins, including the Dauntless and Hilltop mines, where we stop to take a few snaps. The surrounding landscape is also photo-worthy, although maybe not beautiful in the traditional sense. The mountainside is rocky and barren, but the cobalt sky is a brilliant contrast to the ruddy orange hues of the Colorado clay and gray rock that dot the mountain. During our lunch break near the Hilltop Mine, we sit on a side trail with our feet outstretched, taking in the views of the valley and Fourmile Creek Road. I try not to let on that I am watching Emily closely, but at 12,800 feet in elevation, she seems to be handling the hike just fine.
We continue, and at the top of the saddle between Mt. Sheridan (a thirteener) and Mt. Sherman, the town of Leadville slides into view along with a breathtaking look at Turquoise Lake. With vistas like this, I am eager to reach the summit. We start up Mt. Sherman's southwest ridge, at about 13,150 feet, when I realize we need to stop. I tell Emily to slow down—but not because she needs a breather. Instead, I'm the one in need of a short break. I huff and puff and dive into my trail mix for fuel. I look at Emily with amazement as she waits for me, even offering a gulp of her water. She—a flatlander!—is out-hiking me. As a longtime Coloradan, I feel a twinge of embarrassment.
But that feeling melts away as we reach the most difficult portion of the hike—a narrow edge laced with scree. We skirt over it, taking care not to dwell on the drop-off. Instead, we fixate on our destination, the oh-so-close summit, where we relish a deep breath and the knowledge that we made it to the top together. —Dana Pritts
LOOK INTO THE PAST The mining town of Leavick sprang up in 1881 on the east side of Mt. Sheridan and in its heyday boasted a population of more than 200 hearty souls who lived their lives in search of gold, silver, and zinc. Mining ruins now pepper the entire area, including the hiking trails, and make for great side jaunts and photo opportunities. You'll definitely lay eyes on the Dauntless Mine and the Hilltop Mine. Be careful, though: The ruins are fragile and unstable; do not enter or touch the structures.
GETTING THERE From Fairplay, drive about a mile south on U.S. 285, then turn right onto CR 18. You'll drive along this road until you reach a closed gate at about 12,000 feet. This gate marks the trailhead. On busy summer weekends, you may not be able to park at the trailhead. Instead, park at a lower-elevation pull-off and hoof it to the gate.

Logic Fails in Glee Season 5, Episode 9: "Frenemies" — Nice Try, Blaine!
Okay, we all know that Glee doesn't necessarily strive for realism. Still, there were just too many logic fails during this week's Season 5, Episode 9: "Frenemies," for us to ignore. Here are our top four — and let us know in the comments if we missed any!
Tie for valedictorian means the winner is… number three
Whenever two people are tied for the lead in something, the tie is broken by… awarding the prize to the person in third place? That's what happened with McKinley's valedictorian race, even though that made no sense whatsoever. That said, seeing Blaine (Darren Criss) share the prize with Artie (Kevin McHale) and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) was sweet.
Santana didn't have to read lines for the audition?
There's no question that Santana (Naya Rivera) is ridiculously talented and deserves to be a star. That said, we don't think anyone should get something handed to them, which is what seemed to be the case when Santana became Rachel's (Lea Michele) understudy without having to read lines or do any dance numbers. Evidently, becoming a Broadway understudy is kind of a piece of cake these days.
There's a stripper pole in the guitar store
Look, we're not ones to complain about Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Starchild's (Adam Lambert) awesome-in-every-way version of "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," with Kurt proving to be surprisingly skilled on the stripper pole. But, uh, why exactly was that stripper pole even there? For some reason, Glee never felt the need to explain that. Also, we hope someone was watching the store's door during the lavish musical number to make sure nobody stole any guitars.
Isn't it a little late to cast the understudy?
Rachel has known since the start of Season 5 that she's playing Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. So why did the production wait until just now to cast her understudy? The show appears to be close to starting previews, so it doesn't make sense that the understudy gets so little time to rehearse. Granted, Santana clearly has proven her acting chops with that yeast-infection ad, so maybe she doesn't need much rehearsal time.

Google protects its search results

AskJeeves-owned site takes on GoogleApril 1, 2002
Google turns up on CompuServe searchMarch 25, 2002
Google unveils new pay-for-play planFebruary 20, 2002
Google may let surfers rank search resultsNovember 27, 2001
Emoungu is not alone. This month, about 100 Comcast subscribers were temporarily shut out of Google when the search company charged the high-speed Internet access provider with hosting some accounts that had abused its terms of service by performing "automated queries." The crackdown cut a wide swath, taking out a block of IP addresses, shutting down the guilty and innocent alike.
"We are not accusing you personally of having violated our Terms of Service," said Google's notice to Emoungu, a computer programmer who has been a subscriber to Comcast's high-speed Internet service for two years. "You are most likely an innocent victim of someone else's bad behavior. We're really sorry to have had to take this action."
Lockouts are hardly unprecedented on Google. The company has long banned computer-generated search requests, which can sop up substantial system resources and help unscrupulous marketers manipulate its search rankings. But the latest clashes hint at an escalation in a war that may see many more Web surfers caught in the crossfire.
At stake in the battle is the purity of Google's search results, which are widely viewed as among the most relevant for any given keyword on the Web. That reputation has made Google an Internet darling, drawing large crowds of surfers to its site and accolades for its technology.
A survey this week from Web researcher OneStat.com showed that Google drew the largest global search audience on the Web, with nearly 46 percent of surfers using its site. Web portal Yahoo came in second with 20.6 percent usage, and Microsoft's MSN followed with 7.8 percent reach. America Online's search service was seventh on the list, attracting 1.8 percent of Web users worldwide.
Success has made Google a target. It faces competition from a raft of search newcomers offering twists on its successful formula such as Ask Jeeves' Teoma and LookSmart's WiseNut. In addition, marketers and others are eager to game the most popular and influential Web search tool around.
Tricks of the trade
Much of the conflict to date has raged over search engine optimization services and software that explicitly aims to push certain Web sites up the rankings for specific key words. Such tools may use a variety of techniques, such as "link spamming" to improve rank placements and automated queries to judge the success of such campaigns.
The tactics play on Google's ranking methods, which use links as a kind of vote to vouch for the authority of a given Web site. Since Google's search method automatically indexes billions of Web pages, the ranking system is crucial to ferreting out the most valuable sites for specific keywords.
FirstPlace Software's WebPosition Gold, one of the most popular search optimization tools, has served as a flashpoint in the debate. It has attracted a range of customers interested in inflating their site rankings.
The software helps create "doorway pages" that can be used to stack Web pages with popular keywords as a way to drive surfers to other pages that have little or no relation to those search terms. The software also reports Web site ranking and tracks the number of visitors to a site--a feature that can run users afoul of Google's ban on automated queries. Among the search engines that WebPosition Gold analyzes include Yahoo, Google, Overture, WebCrawler, Excite and AltaVista.
FirstPlace Software President Brent Winters said that although Google does not like the automated queries, businesses have "an inherent right" to know what their rankings are to measure their business results. He said the Missouri-based company tries to educate its customers as to what the search engines consider spam, but it does not have control over what a customer does with the software.
"You can buy a hammer to build a house or you can buy a hammer and go smash your neighbor's window," Winters said. "So we can't control how people are going to use the tool. We just try to educate people to use it properly and to not abuse the search engines and to keep queries to a minimum."
Winters said his company has attempted to work out negotiations with Google on multiple occasions but that the search company has "not been all that cooperative." He said Google has not responded to WebPosition Gold's proposals, such as working together to reduce the number of queries by the average user or to shift more queries to off-peak periods.
When asked about Google's negotiations with software companies such as WebPosition Gold, Google declined to comment, saying only that automated queries slow its system.
"It can place a demand on our servers and can slow down Google as a service for the millions of millions who use it everyday," said Google spokesman Nathan Tyler.
Juicing results
The Comcast automated query crackdown comes as Google faces increasing attacks on the objectivity of its search results from link spammers, whose ranks now include legions of casual self-publishers who have turned the practice of driving sites to the top of keyword rankings into a competitive Web sport.
While these attacks are not always associated with automated queries, they are part of the larger challenge that Google is confronting as it seeks to keep its results clean.
Danny Sullivan, an editor with SearchEngineWatch.com, said people have used links for years to help promote Web sites. But as time progressed, Google and other search companies found that people were creating artificial links that existed solely to fool search engines. Sullivan said an ambitious link spammer can create hundreds of Web sites and interlink them for the sole purpose of pushing up its ranking on Google.
As a result, Sullivan said he wasn't surprised that Google shut down some Comcast customers because of the automated queries. He said it's been a "huge issue" for the search engines because it takes up a lot of time and resources to keep "junk" out of their listings.
"There are lots of people who still successfully run automated queries against Google," Sullivan said. "While it violates their terms and conditions and while they absolutely do not like it, it's more trouble than it's worth to try to shut them down."
Automated queries and link spammers are not the only thorn in Google's side.
Other tactics that people use to manipulate their Web site's rankings include the use of cloaking software, which lets people create customized pages meant to please a search engine's algorithm. People may also create multiple Web sites that are similar to each other, hoping that one will stick with a search engine.
Another fast-growing tactic used to boost a Web site's rank is called "Google-bombing."
Adam Mathes, a 22-year-old Stanford University student studying computer science, discovered what's considered to be the first Google bombing campaign last April. He said the concept of Google bombing was that "it was concerted effort for lots of people to link a specific page with specific terms" in an attempt to make that page show up among Google's top-ranked Web sites. He found that Google not only shows you pages that have the exact keywords, but also it will show pages that are linked to that page with those words.
Mathes said he discovered this when he was playing a joke on a friend. He said when he searched the words "Internet Rockstar," his friend's Web site, BenBrown.com, would be the first hits on Google. Mathes said at the time, his friend's site did not have those terms on it, but a lot of other sites linked to him with that term did. So he launched the so-called Google bombing campaign by linking his other friend, Andy Pressman, with the term "talentless hack." Mathes said the campaign was effective because in the first couple of months, Pressman was the first hit for the words "talentless hack" on Google.
Mathes said he choose Google because it was "the premier search engine among the geeks" a year ago. He said he still has respect for Google, but "in the end, it's just technology and all these search engines can be manipulated somehow."
The clearest losers
Regardless of intent, such attacks may have raised the stakes for Google, whose reputation for fending off manipulators of all kinds is under more stress than ever.
In this battle, ordinary Web surfers will be the clearest losers, caught between a possible decline in the quality of search results on one side, and aggressive spam policing on the other.
Google's enforcement tactics include denying service to blocks of IP addresses when it cannot track down a specific abuser. The company's notice this month to Comcast users, for example, said it had shut off access to its services because "some person or people" had violated its terms of service agreement.
Google declined to comment about the service denials, saying that the company does not discuss details it undertakes to protect it from spam or unauthorized abuse.
"We're very clear in our terms of service about key areas that we define as inappropriate use," said Google's Tyler.
Comcast also declined to discuss any details but said it was "an isolated incident" that happened April 5, affecting less than a hundred people. A company representative said the incident was "resolved very quickly," lasting no more than a few hours.
Vince Bernardo, a Comcast customer caught in the crackdown, said he immediately contacted friends and co-workers who used Comcast in South New Jersey and they confirmed having the same problem.
"I've set Google as my home page, and it's a very critical part of my Internet life," Bernardo said in an e-mail to News.com. "It's an invaluable research tool for leisure, general curiosity and work."

- Using the "Hammer" Appropriately
- As Brent, FirstPlace software Pres. stated; its all about how the end user decides to utilize the "hammer". I have found the WebPosition Gold software to be quite a fascinating tool. I choose NOT to use it in a way that would be problematic for Google's system.
I think the tone that utilizing such optimization software is somehow "cheating" or gaining an unfair advantage, or even that it is manipulative of the Google engine is very wrong. I'm certain that some ill meaning individuals could find a way to use this tool for that purpose or to that end. However, such use was clearly not the intent of the designers and the supportive, "how to" text present throughout all phases of usage of this software warn against such use and directly inform the user of the consequences of doing so.
As long as my company is utlizing the software to optimize our page using only topic genuine key words and phrases, why should we not be indexed. We choose to use the "hammer" to build a house; DeForInv.com.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 01, 2013
Dave Arruda gets his kicks paddling around on whatever body of water he can get his kayak into. This is why he is keen to use and review products that help keep him connected in even the most remote locations. Dave's latest review was of the PowerPot V, a cooking pot that generates electricity. The device earned 4.5 out of 5 paddles and as Arruda put it, "packs a whole lot of power!"
Dave answered one of the most common questions people have with a portable generator of this type: How quickly does it charge? Arruda said he charged his HTC Incredible 2 by 25% in just 20 minutes. This rapid-charging pace is due to the relatively high output of the PowerPot, which outputs more than twice the wattage as the BioLite CampStove, which Mr. Arruda reviewed previously.
"This little pot packs a whole lot of power! For example, the Biolite Camp Stove, a similar thermo-electric portable power product, is only able to output approximately 2W of power continuously to a 5V-USB port. The PowerPot is able to output 5W continuously once the water in the pot in boiling," blogged Arruda.
The PowerPot is a thermoelectric generator, which convert heat into electricity. It has the highest output of any thermoelectric generator currently on the market at 5W maximum.

8. SUCCESS: Wildlife reserves cover 10% of the Earth's land
In 1872 Yellowstone National Park in the US became the world's first modern wildlife reserve - now there are 44,000. This growth is described as "one of the greatest conservation achievements of the twentieth century" by the IUCN. The areas cover almost 14 million km2, an area equivalent in size to India and China combined. In 2004, Brazil established the world's largest reserve, Tumucumaque National Park, which is larger than Belgium. The growth in protected areas is because "the public have recognised the impact we are having on the environment", says McNeely of the IUCN.
9. FAILURE: Orang-utan
Orang-utans (Pongo pygmaeus) declined by more than 90% during the 20th century. As few as 40,000 are thought to remain on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. About 1000 are currently killed each year in order to kidnap their young, which poachers sell into the pet trade. Loss of habitat is also a big problem. "I expect we may lose them in the wild within the next 10 years," says Robinson at the WCS.
10. SUCCESS: Golden lion tamarin monkey
Golden lion tamarins are small and striking Brazilian monkeys (Leontopithecus rosalia). They were thought extinct until the 1970s, when 200 were discovered in the Atlantic coastal forest of Brazil. A concerted conservation effort and captive breeding programme, assisted by international organisations, has paid off. The monkey has now been reintroduced to 17 forest fragments and 1200 or more now live in the wild.

American Idol 2013 finalist Lazaro Arbos was literally the last man standing in the competition. The Cuban-born singer fully expected this week he'd also be the last guy headed out the door in Season 12. Lazaro's longevity on American Idol this year has been the subject of a lot of controversy among critics and fans of the show, but you have to admire his determination in the face of adversity.
Wetpaint spoke exclusively to Lazaro Arbos before the Top 6 American Idol performances show and asked him why he thought his time on the show would come to an end this week.
Q: You're the last boy.
LA: Yeah, that's kind of weird because I don't think that ever on the show has there been five girls and one guy. That is a weird set-up.
Q: Knowing that boys have been going home every week, what does that make you think about Thursday?
LA: This week is my last week here. This week just me, five guys. Bam.
Q: I don't think so though. You've got to have a sense that people have your back.
LA: I know that the people who follow me love me and I love them back. But I just think that the boys have been just gone, gone, gone. So I hope in the next week it's not me.
Q: Usually you do your solo really well because it's something you know and it's something you like. But then there is the other number…
LA: I think that the reason why I've messed up in my group performances is because I haven't known my solo song that well, so I focus on my solo song so much that I just don't pay attention to my duet song. So that is what happened the last week. I think I just focused too much on "We Are the Champions" because I know it. So I had to make sure that. And I think that the fact that when you are on stage with another person that makes you feel more laid back, and it makes you feel more comfortable. And that can sometimes be a bad thing.
Q: Exactly. And this week you don't have another person to fall back on.
LA: This week I know my songs really well.
Q: Okay good.
LA: So I think I am going to say all the words right as I knock on wood.
Q: Is it stressful being the only boy with all these girls?
LA: In what sense though?
Q: Well look, there's a lot of estrogen.
LA: Yeah, there's a lot of girls, a lot of girls that are really nice but they always have their girl moments.
Q: Yeah. Exactly. I'm sure girls band together in different ways than guys do.
LA: They do. Yeah, so I'm by myself now.
Q: Who's your group? Who do you band together with?
LA: I am best friends with Amber Holcomb. She's my best friend so I am glad that she is hasn't left and hopefully she won't leave because she's the most amazing vocalist I have ever heard.
We wish Lazaro all the best, but we do have to wonder what happened to Angie Miller being his best friend in the American Idol 2013 house just last week?

If that doesn't work, then I'm going to just buy a new chain here. I would like to try and avoid that as they are extremely expensive here in town. If I can make it last another 400 miles or so, I can get to Punta Arenas where they have a sort of tax free zone and get one a lot cheaper. I'm also going to try and make that old chain slider work. I may have to find someone with a tap as neither I nor Manolito know how to say "self taping screw" in Spanish.
I'm about to head down and flop the countersprocket around.
Check all the chain pins as it looks like a lot of wear on the inside of the plates. If you can use the masters you have just replace that one link with what you have. Lube it up really good and maybe a little looser than normal.
Ride On!

Wild animals don't make good pets
Development is encroaching more and more into areas that used to be solely animals' habitats, so it is likely that we will encounter more wild animals crossing "our" property, tempting us to intercede in the animals' natural life cycles. The best advice is to refrain from the urge to adopt or make contact with these animals.
Citizens need to be aware of the risks from caring for a wild animal whether carried home out of concern for the animal, a desire to have an unusual pet or for other reasons.
Some of the risks include:
Some myths about wildlife adoptions:
Find out more about rabies and prevention from the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).
Wildlife experts and veterinarians agree that wildlife do not make good pets. These animals can be dangerous and will be unhappy in captivity, even under the best of circumstances. Young animals often change from sweet and cuddly to very aggressive - even if they are not diseased. People who find they can no longer care for their exotic "pets" encounter great difficulty in placing even healthy animals in a new home.
South Carolina's natural resources are essential for economic development and contribute nearly $30 billion and 230,000 jobs to the state's economy. Find out why Life's Better Outdoors.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa - Two people are facing charges in connection with a homicide in Marshalltown.
The death was reported at 502 N. Fourth Avenue on Tuesday. When officers arrived at the home, they found the man dead in the basement. His name has not yet been released.
Authorities said an investigation shows criminal action led to the death. Two men have now been charged in connection with the case.
Officials said Jeremy Gartin, 30, of Marshalltown, is charged with first-degree murder and carrying a concealed weapon. Max Nelson, 55, of Marshalltown, was charged with accessory after the fact, first-degree theft and abuse of a corpse.
Police said they are not searching for any other suspects in the case. Both men are being held in Marshall County Jail.
"At this time I have no reason to believe that the community at large is in any danger, We're following up on all the leads that we have at this point in time, but there's no reason for the community to be in fear at this point," said Marshalltown Police Chief Michael Tupper.
The cause of death is still under investigation.

Hartwick Students Support Habitat for Humanity During J TermFebruary 7, 2012
Hartwick College students in Professor of Nursing Peggy Jenkins' "Life's Choices: Ethical Issues in Healthcare" class spent their J Term working to support Habitat for Humanity in the Oneonta area. Through a number of complimentary efforts as part of an intensive service learning project - and with donations from community businesses - the group worked to aid the nonprofit founded on "the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live."
On February 2, the class gathered on a cold, windy day to paint The Wall on West St. with a message of support for Habitat. Oneonta's Munson's Building Supply donated the paint for the effort.
To help further publicize Habitat's efforts, the class designed posters and brochures to encourage low-income families to apply to Habitat to become Partner Families, a step which could lead to owning their own Habitat-built home. Oneonta's Office Max donated the printing for 50 of these posters and 50 brochures, which students distributed to Wal-Mart, and area laundromats and low-income housing. The class also created brochures and posters to encourage all community members to volunteer, and to donate food, household items, money and time to Habitat for Humanity.
The class also designed public service announcements, which will be aired on local radio stations WSRK and WDLA.
The class' fundraising committee raised about $100 for Habitat, as well as three donations of gift certificates to help feed volunteers. These were donated by Tino's Pizza, Boudreaux n' Thibodeaux's and Ruffino's Pizza, all in Oneonta.
Under Jenkins' leadership, the following students undertook the service learning project: Joseph Capparelli '15, Jacqueline Cummings '14, Sarah Fasano '15, Gregory Goetz '15, Carlee Hirt '15, Sierra Holik '15, Emily Jweid '15, Kareem March '15, Dana Martin '15, Ryan McCoy '15, Peter Melanson '15, Stephanie Mollo '15, Marialuisa Monda '15, Jacquelynn Moynihan '15, Sarah Munderville '15, Lauren Noyes '15, Julia Ready '15, Amy Ronnermann '15, Mathew Ryan '15, Venecia Salguero '15, and Justin White '15.

AUSTIN -- The Texas Department of Public Safety had scrapped a plan to set up driver's license checkpoints on state highways.
The proposal faced strong lawmaker opposition, and suspicions that the checkpoints were meant to catch illegal immigrants.
DPS commission chairman Allan Polunsky asked the attorney general's office in September for an opinion about whether the checkpoints would be legal. On Friday, Polunsky said he would withdraw the request.
A DPS spokesman said the proposal never had any connection to immigration issues.
But some lawmakers were suspicious. In August, the DPS commission issued new rules for driver's license applicants to prove they are here legally.
During a commission meeting Friday, Polunsky said it was not appropriate to proceed with the proposal at this time.

I'm VERY new with 3D. In fact, I just downloaded DAZ3D today. So forgive me if my question sounds very stupid. But I need to know, can Michael 5 uses items from lower versions, like Michael 4's face, body clothes, etc ???
I asked that question because I'm confused by the many choices of Michael add-ons on sale. I don't know which one to buy (and I have limited finance). Of course, Michael 5 is much better and superior. But there are some Michael 4 items intrigue me, like clothes, face, etc. I just want to know, if I buy Michael 5 base, and then am tempted to buy Michael 4 items, can I use them with Michael 5 ???

Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) Grant Program
Since 1976 EPA has annually received a Congressional appropriation under section 1443(a) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) to assist states, territories, and tribes in carrying out their Public Water System Supervision programs. Designated state agencies in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or an Indian tribe treated as a state, that have been delegated Primary Enforcement Responsibility (Primacy) for the Public Water System Supervision Program are eligible to receive grants.
Currently, all states and territories have been delegated authority, with the exception of Wyoming and the District of Columbia (neither of which has sought delegation). The Navajo Nation is the only Indian tribe to have sought and received Primacy for the PWSS program. Funds allotted for a State, Territory, or Indian Tribe that does not have an approved Primacy Program are used by EPA for the operation of a program in that jurisdiction.
These grants help eligible states, territories, and tribes develop and implement a PWSS program adequate to enforce the requirements of the SDWA and ensure that water systems comply with the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. Key activities carried out under a PWSS program include:

These two college studs go together quite well. Anthony, being dominant during sex, loves having cum-hungry young guys service his cock. Shane on the other hand, gets cranky if he doesn't have his daily dosage of rod shoved down his throat.
These two, as they sit next to each other, starts rubbing themselves through their pants, teasing us as to what is waiting beneath. They undress, Shane revealing an already hard cock. Anthony can't wait to start fucking some hot mouth, so he motions Shane over to start working his pole. Smothering it with his tongue, Shane bobs his head up and down, while Anthony feeds his new friend eagerly. The action is good, but what's great is the money shot at the end. After fucking Shane's face for a moment, Anthony starts groaning as his cock starts wildly throwing out streams of slippery, ooey-gooey cum, all over Shane's hair, face neck and chest. Shane gets so hot during the cumshot, he can't help but to start splurging himself. After a few deep grunts the scene is concludes.
Everyone is super satisfied.

It is bittersweet to write this blog.
I am sad the FIT Challenge is over already, but so happy for all I have learned.
I am forever grateful for the knowledge, time, effort and patience that my trainer Shawn Zahel of NOMS has given me.
I just got back from a wonderful week camping with my family and friends!
I have lots of laundry and dishes to wash, many things to put back in their place and I am very sunburned, but we had a blast!
It's July already! When did this happen? I am sad that the FIT Challenge is almost over :(
However, I am happy with my progress so far.
Guess what???? SURPRISE! I got my birthday wish early! I only wanted one thing and I got it!!!!!
Thank you, thank you and thank you to the those who made it happen! I am soooooooooooo excited!!!
I have had a very busy past week!
I am still recovering from the other weekend with Becca's graduation party and putting things away from it.
It has been a very long week.
I made my workouts at the beginning of the week as strong as possible, knowing the rest of the week would be chaotic.
My daughter's graduation party was this past weekend and I needed time to prepare. So much to do and so little time.
Busy as usual! And lots more to come this week.
I made it to the gym again five times this past week. I had a night of TRX bands, in addition to a few nights of tiring, but not stressful, treadmill workouts.
I am one very happy and proud woman right now!
This past week has had many ups and downs, but I am still here and doing well.
This time two weeks ago, I was very nervous about my first 5K ever ... and it was for the FIT Challenge.
'Twas the night before FIT 5K, all settled in bed
No sleep for me, for my much nervous head
My trainer's Shawn Zahel from NOMS Fitness Center
He has me work out five days a week or better
Life is getting busier each week with graduation and the FIT 5K quickly approaching.
But I still find the time to make it to the gym at least five days a week with or without my trainer's help.
My NOMS trainer Shawn Zahel has helped me build my confidence.

opinionBy T. Michael Johnny
The appalling plight of mentally ill patients dwelling in street corners and fending survival in heaps of debris around the country projects a distressing scenario to that segment of citizens who are most often ostracized by relatives and national government. Their neglect is not only unconstitutional, but also dehumanizing as it relates to the equitable distribution of wealth to vulnerable groups in society.
Article (11 a) on fundamental rights states that all persons are born equally free and independent and have certain natural, inherent and inalienable rights, among which are the right of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of pursuing and maintaining the security of the person and of acquiring, possessing and protecting property, subject to such qualifications as provided for in the constitution.
However, in a "sharp contrast" to protect and defend the rights to life and liberty of mentally ill patients, the government has been somehow "lackadaisical" in their constitutional obligation to allocate resources to construct major centers around the country that will host, treat, feed and protect this vulnerable population.
While survivors of 14 years of civil conflict leaped through the crisis with their bodies intact, the same cannot always be said of their minds. In an interview with psychiatrics, they attributed the astronomical increase in the number of mentally ill patients to drug abuse, horrible experiences from active participation in the war, and other "untraceable" causes.
Evidently, although this writer maintains neutrality in protecting all vulnerable groups in society, however, the grim reality confronting mentally ill patients is that they are 'neglected' and often receives minimal attraction in national budget as compared to the Group of 77; the Deaf; visually impaired, among others.
Mentally ill patients have not also attractive members of the National Legislature that would enable them draft a legislation that would reinforce their constitutional rights to survival, protection, medication and security.
During the country's 14 years of calamity, funds intended for the health and protection of mentally ill patients were allegedly diverted to other purposes, while the infrastructure housing them at the Catherine Mills Rehabilitation Center on Duport road was looted and buildings lying in ruin.
Pathetically, for most mentally ill patients, hospitals become their destined home, and ignorance about their fate often results in stigma and neglect. Care for mentally ill patients often relies on the use of forcible restraints in both institutions and homes.
In most instances, mentally ill patients are often accused of being possessed or branded as witches. Here in Liberia, spiritual healers are regularly employed to 'deliver' them (mentally ill patients) from their ailment. They are often chained and sometimes starved so as not to feed the demon inside them.
Mentally ill patients are part of the society and deserve more than being neglected. However, in some quarters, mentally ill persons are given less or no family support at all, thus leaving their situation to get worse day by day. The plight of mentally ill persons should be taken seriously, because these are people who are living with us, so we should not stigmatize them in society.
It is high time for society to take good care of mentally ill patients and give them the necessary support they deserve, instead of isolating them. The notion people have of the mentally ill is bad; and the attitude of society towards them is not least encouraging.
Mentally ill are really cursed, not by God, but by societies around them. In my career surveys around Monrovia and elsewhere reporting human rights' violations, I've not seen a more neglected or vulnerable group than the mentally ill patients in Liberia.
Now, in an exertion to salvage the plight of insane patients, the administration of the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Memorial center announced plans that it was prepared to reoccupy and rehabilitate the Catherine Mills mental home located at the rehabilitation center on Duport road.
The once resourceful 90 acres mental facility inundated with patients loitering around its facilities now housed illegal squatters displaced from their homes during the course of the 14 years civil war.
With the cessation of the civil war and the rising lunatic population, JFK authorities say they have garnered resources to tackle the plight of mentally ill patients in the country. The mental hospital according to documents was purchased by a former legislator Ellen Mills Scarboroug.
According to historical narratives, the Liberian government first implemented a formal mental health care service in 1960's after a group of concerned Liberian women fervently advocated and championed the cause of mentally ill patients in society.
The women mobilized support from both national and international sources, and garnered funds and resources to construct a modern psychiatric facility outside Monrovia.
In their resolve, the women built the center on a 90-acre parcel of land donated by a former Liberian Legislator, Ellen Mills Scarboroug, who was a member of the group and named it the Catherine Mills rehabilitation center in honor of Mrs. Scarboroug's mother, Catherine Mills.
Currently, the 'only functional' mental care hospital in the country is been rented from the Grants...named Grant medical hospital located on Duport road. However, the Grant hospital is not spacious enough to accommodate the growing number of people in that category.
Although regrettable, however, authorities in solidarity with their plight said they cannot afford to abandon them at street corners in Monrovia and elsewhere anymore because they are humans and therefore needs government's assistance.
Woefully, mentally ill patients are among the most critical individuals among patients throughout the world because independently, they are unable to pay medical bills and sometimes do not recover from their illness until their demise at the center.
Limited data obtained from health accreditation survey reinforces poor penetration rates for mental health services, overwhelmingly inferior quality in many places where services are purportedly provided, untrained clinicians and low availability of needed medications.
Towards this end, I wish to re-emphasized that government must ensure that mentally ill patients receive the necessary support that will aid their treatment and rehabilitation by improving and constructing facilities throughout the country.

And THAT, is DA TRUTH!!!

Baseball Stars, Broadcasters in the Lineup For International Little League Opening Day
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa (April 5, 2006)—An all-star group of baseball and broadcasting stars joined with the sponsors of Little League Baseball and Softball to celebrate the First International Opening Day was held at Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem, New York City on Friday morning.
ESPN Baseball Tonight star Harold Reynolds was the host for the event and called the action for a Tee Ball game between two teams from the Harlem Little League. Since 1997, Reynolds has broadcast Little League World Series Games on ESPN.
SportsNet New York broadcasters and longtime New York Mets' stars Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling served as celebrity coaches for one team.
New York Yankees' heroes Rich "Goose" Gossage and Jim Leyritz coached the other team.
Also on hand to give the youngsters some advice on eating right was Jared Fogle, the spokesman for SUBWAY Restaurants, one of Little League's family of national sponsors.
"Having these baseball greats, along with Jared Fogle, made this a great Opening Day for the players, their families and the Harlem community," said Stephen D. Keener, the president and chief executive officer of Little League International.
Other Little League sponsors supporting International Opening Day are Ace Hardware, The Active Network, Choice Hotels International, ESPN, American Honda, Major League Baseball, New Era Cap Co., RE/MAX International, Snickers, Sunkist Growers, Inc., and Wilson Sporting Goods Co.
Little League International established International Opening Day as a way of honoring the 2.7 million "everyday" players in Little Leagues around the world and the more than one million volunteers who help them play. International Opening Day re-affirms Little League's commitment to the storm-damaged areas of the United States Gulf Coast and to Little League's Urban Initiative. Little League International's sponsors will be making financial and equipment donations to assist leagues rebuilding in hurricane-damaged areas and to support programs for at-risk youth run by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Collection boxes for new and "gently-used" equipment have been set up at Bill Shea Friendship Field in Marcus Garvey Park. Contributions can be made on the Internet at www.pitchinforbaseball.org.
The sponsor support for International Opening Day included these highlights:
- Russell Athletic is outfitting more than 100 Little Leaguers, sponsors, celebrities and volunteers with baseball jerseys
- In honor of Harlem Little League hosting the event, Bank of America donated to Harlem Little League a youth baseball clinic this summer featuring legends from the New York Yankees. Following the skills portion of the clinic, the former Yankee greats will share with the young athletes how their experiences with baseball have helped them to achieve higher standards on and off the field.
- SUBWAY spokesman Jared Fogle attended the event and SUBWAY's sponsored car in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup series driven by Greg Biffle had a special Little League paint scheme for this weekend's race at Texas Motor Speedway. In addition, Biffle is planning to visit Little League games in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
- Bryant Heating and Cooling made a home-plate check presentation to support the Leagues in the Gulf Coast.

Nectarine Coconut Pancakes

Nectarine Coconut Pancakes
In the summertime, I frequent to the Farmer's Market. My favorite ingredients are the tomatoes in a rainbow of colors, and ripe nectarines that I can smell from miles away. This week I decided to utilize my Farmer's Market produce in these summery pancakes. Not only do they look beautiful, but they add a nice, unexpected texture. Coconut pairs beautifully with nectarines which is why I fused the two together to create my favorite new breakfast treat. Enjoy!
- Prep Time : 15 min
- Cook Time : 15 min
- Ready Time : 30 min
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cups coconut flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- butter for frying
- 2 nectarines, very thinly sliced
- sweetened and flaked coconut for serving
1. Whisk together both flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and oil. Whisk egg mixture into flour mixture.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches and adding more butter as needed, pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake. Place 2-3 slices of nectarine on top of each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on surfaces and undersides are golden brown. Flip and cook until browned on other side. Top with flaked coconut and maple syrup.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Not the best by any means, but one of the few JRPGs on the PS3 at the time we bought it. Characters are irritating beyond belief but the battle system kept me playing for a while. Protip: Turn off music and use the Japanese voice acting.
