For Pat Burns and Elizabeth Spaulding, the road to owning coastal Maine property began more than a decade ago, when they were dating. A scenic drive led them to a state park, with views of a distant headland cloaked in evergreens and jutting into the sea. "That point was so remote and beautiful," says Pat, "we had to find a way there by car." The couple set out on a maze of back roads. When they crested a hill and saw the open ocean shining through the trees, they were met with a second surprise. "Just when we realized we were on the point we'd been looking for, we saw a 'For Sale' sign on a tree," says Elizabeth. They hopped back in the car, returned home, called the owner, and hatched a plan to make the 1-acre property theirs.
The one-story, 1,800-square-foot house hovered a breathtaking 75 feet from the high-tide mark. Surf pounded the rocky shore, and a mile out, shoals harbored seals at low tide. The 1960s house, built as a winterized cottage, nestled in a gentle rise of old-growth trees. "We painted the walls and sanded the floors when we bought it―minimal changes," says Elizabeth. "We went on weekends to get away by ourselves or with family and friends. After two years, we loved it so much, we moved in full time."
For 10 years, Pat and Elizabeth used the house to its maximum potential, accommodating as many as 30 people for holidays with beds, couches, and sleeping bags. Quietly, though, they envisioned a renovation that would make everyone more comfortable.
The couple began saving magazine tear sheets for inspiration. They noted how they might modify the rooms to engage the seasons' changing light and the view of the sea through back windows. Inveterate antiques collectors, they tailored their selections to rustic furnishings with original paint finishes to emphasize the home's cottage aesthetic. They even stockpiled salvaged parts such as doors, windows, and flooring from old Maine buildings to use in what was shaping up to be "our new old house," says Elizabeth.
The decision to launch the work came when Pat, a former marketing executive, retired early. But almost immediately, his renovation plan hit a snag. Portland architect Rob Whitten, alongside a contractor, examined the infrastructure and realized it was problematic to save, as so little was plumb. "Spending money on labor in order to save on material costs didn't make sense to any of us, including the zoning code officer―who is typically all for retaining these old coastal cottages," Rob explains. Before disappointment hardened into a decision to tear down the rugged little rancher, Pat expressed everyone's thought: "I wish we could just take it down and save the parts," he said. His son Todd, a builder, seconded the notion. Within three weeks, they dismantled the house by hand and divided the pieces. Some would become a part of the new construction, while others went to projects or businesses dealing in recycled materials. "Even the insulation got recycled in an attic in town," says Pat, who joined the building process every day.
The new construction is both stronger, with hurricane-resistant collar ties, and bigger, by 30 percent. With a second floor and a crow's nest of bedrooms, the home grew out of the old foundation and honors its best attributes, with improvements.
Like its predecessor, the new home uses timber framing and orients to the ocean. A chimney that once obscured the view now anchors the building's core and feeds two Rumford fireplaces. Salvaged antique mantels add character to the first-floor rooms. The morning room's tall ceilings and eastern exposure take advantage of summer light. Lower ceilings in the adjacent "wicker room" make the area cozy in winter. (No wicker in the wicker room, though―the name remains from an earlier incarnation.) Twenty windows saved from the demolition of a 19th-century meeting house frame a screened porch in the lee of an oceanside deck. "We've learned which windows to open to get cross-ventilation and just the right level of ocean roar," says Elizabeth.
Through the original picture windows, Pat says he can look both ways along the coast and see two significant points that led them to this spot: the state park where they first saw their homesite and the place where he proposed marriage to Elizabeth. "We never took our eyes off the prize to live here," he says. "It was an organic effort from start to finish, and our way of honoring what's basic and honest around us."

Small-Scale Livestock Farming
Livestock Farming by
Carol Ekarius contains some handy tidbits, but I don't really recommend
the book for backyard hobbyists. While Ekarius takes a holistic
approach, she focuses more page-space on making a living than on
understanding the pasture ecosystem, so you'll have to do a lot of
skimming to find the gems.
Our chicken waterer is perfect for pastured operations since it never spills on uneven terrain or fills with mud.

French Federation says Philly, NJ, DC will host SheBelieves Cup
The French Football Federation just might have let the cat out of the bag before the official announcement as it released the dates and match-ups of the 2017 SheBelieves Cup tournament.
The FFF released the information in a press release Thursday.
If the information is correct, then Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. I most likely in RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. are the three venues
U.S. Soccer has not made an official announcement as to where and when the tournament will be played.
In the opening doubleheaders, France would take on England on Wednesday, March 1 in Chester, Pa., followed by the USA facing Germany.
The RBA doubleheader would pit France vs. Germany on Saturday, March 4 and the United States vs. England in the other encounter.

Why was my email undeliverable?
The basic requirement to verify work authorization is the Form I-9. This form is available through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/i-9.pdf. The back of the form lists the types of documents that a new hire must provide to verify his or her identity and that he or she is authorized to work in the United States.
[ Top ]
Employers must fill out and keep a Form I-9 for every person hired on or after November 6, 1986.
The I-9 form is designed to determine who is authorized to work in the United States. Its purpose is not to determine who is and who is not a citizen. While all citizens are authorized to work here, it is not always easy to recognize who is and is not a citizen because of the diverse heritage of our country. Employers must do an I-9 form for every employee, not just those who appear to be non-citizens.
A form I-9 can be completed as soon as an individual accepts the job. Even if the employee doesn't start actively working (working for pay) until a later date, the individual has been hired and the employer can complete the form I-9.
You need to complete Form I-9 only for people you actually hire. For purposes of the I-9 rules, a person is "hired" when he or she begins to work for you for wages or other compensation.
The Form I-9 must be completed within three business days of the date employment begins. If the new hire claims that the necessary documents where lost, stolen or destroyed, the person must provide a receipt for replacement documents within the three days. If an employee has presented a receipt for a replacement document, he or she must produce the actual document within 90 days of the date employment begins.
Yes. You may terminate an employee who fails to produce the required documents, or a receipt for a replacement documents (in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed documents), within three business days of the date employment begins. However, you must apply these practices uniformly to all employees and not just to those who do not appear to be citizens.
The employer is required to verify both identity and authorization to work in the United States. The back of the I-9 Form describes which documents establish a new hire's identity and work authorization. You may also review our table of acceptable I-9 documents.
The employer must look at the other documents papers to determine whether they prove identity and work authorization. An employer cannot require that the new hire provide specific documents, such as a U.S. birth certificate or a green card. A new hire may show any of the documents listed on the I-9 form. The documents shown in List A on the back of the I-9 form prove both identity and authorization to work. If a new hire provides a document in List A, only one document is needed. If the document provided is not in List A, the employee must provide a document from List B and a document from List C.
No, employers can not specify which document or documents are acceptable from an employee. If the person provides a document from List A, or a document from List B and a document from List C, the employer may not request any other document to verify employment eligibility.
Yes, so long as the Social Security Card does not state "NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT" or "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION." Social Security Cards without either of these statements establish employment eligibility and should be accepted as proof of work authorization.
Yes. The employer must also see proof of authorization to work such as a U.S. Social Security card (a Social Security card that says "Not Valid for Employment" is not acceptable), a birth certificate showing birth in the U.S. or a valid Immigration document showing work authorization such as an employment authorization card or an H-1 or other working visa approval notice.
No. The employer cannot require more than the minimum needed to comply with the I-9 form. The employer cannot specify which documents it wants to see.
You must examine the document or documents. If the documents reasonably appear on their face to be genuine and to relate to the person presenting them, you must accept them. To do otherwise could be an unfair immigration-related employment practice. If a document does not reasonably appear on its face to be genuine and to relate to the person presenting it, you must not accept it. You may contact your local Immigration Service office for assistance. The addresses and telephone numbers of the Immigration Service office nearest you is available at the Immigration Service district office directory.
No. Employees must present original documents. The only exception is an employee may present a certified copy of a birth certificate.
No. U.S. citizens and noncitizen nationals never need reverification. Do not reverify the following documents: An expired U.S. Passport or Passport Card; an Alien Registration Receipt Card/Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551); or a List B document that has expired. (USCIS Handbook for Employers at page 9.)
No. All documents MUST be unexpired at the time the I-9 Form is completed. (USCIS Handbook for Employers at page 52.)
No. All documents, including a U.S. Passport or Passport Card, MUST be unexpired at the time the I-9 Form is completed. (USCIS Handbook for Employers at page 51)
An employer may not refuse to hire an individual or refuse to accept a document because it has a future expiration date. You must accept any document (from List A or List C) listed on Form I-9 that on it's face reasonably appears to be genuine and to relate to the person presenting it. To do otherwise could be an unfair immigration-related employment practice in violation of the anti-discrimination provision of the INA. (USCIS Handbook for Employers at page 27.)
The employer may choose to copy or scan documents an employee presents when completing Form I-9, which the employer may, but is not required to, retain with his or her Form I-9. Even if the employer retains copies of documentation, the employer is still required to fully complete Section 2 of Form I-9. If the employer chooses to retain copies of an employee's documents, the employer must do so for all employees, regardless of national origin or citizenship status, or the employer may be in violation of anti-discrimination laws.
Copies that are scanned and stored electronically must be retrievable consistent with DHS's standards on electronic retention, documentation, security, and electronic signatures for employers and employees, as specified in 8 CFR Part 274a.2(b)(3).
USCIS recommends that employers who choose to retain copies of employees' documentation keep those copies together with their Form I-9.
Nonagricultural employers must retain the I-9 file for 3 years after the date employment begins or 1 year after the person's employment is terminated, whichever is later. This means that you should retain I-9s for all current employees for as long as they are employed AND continue to maintain them for a year after they are terminated. If an employee leaves before they have been with the employer for 3 years, the employer must maintain the I-9 for longer than 1 year from the date employment is terminated. For example, if an employee leaves after 1 year, the employer must maintain that employee's I-9 for 2 years after they are terminated, because all I-9 forms have to be maintained for a minimum of 3 years.
The Law provides for penalties from $100 to $1,000 for each incorrect or missing I-9. These penalties may add up quickly. Recently, the Immigration Service accused Disneyland in California of having over a thousand paperwork violations, and issued a notice to fine Disneyland $395,000. In another case, the Immigration Service fined a Georgia packing company over $1 million dollars for various violations, including the smuggling of undocumented aliens into the U.S.
Yes. There are anti-discrimination rules. An employer could be fined or penalized for failing to hire an authorized worker for discriminatory reasons, for demanding specific documents, for asking to see more than the minimum documents, and for other reasons. The Office of Special Counsel has caused employers to pay a total of over $1 million in back-pay to workers, has required employers to rehire workers, and has levied fines totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. The amount of the fine will depend on whether the employer made a genuine error, if the workers were authorized to work, if there were repeated violations or warnings, and other factors.
Q: Why was my email undeliverable?
A: There are a many reasons why your email may have been blocked: mistyped information, recipient no longer has email account, inappropriate material or some file types are blocked for security purposes (.exe, .bat, .chm, etc.). In some instances the email server sending your messages appears to be listed on a spam blacklist (and you many not even know about it). This may make it difficult for your messages to be delivered or received. Viruses can be distributed; it is possible that your machine may have been infected, which can allow your computer to be used to send spam email. If this is the case, your email address or IP may be blacklisted. Our spam blocking system synchronizes with such blacklists and hence will block anyone listed. Your Information Technology Team may be able to assist for any of the above scenarios.
Sometimes the cause cannot be determined, but we still want to assist with the routing of your email to and from us. No matter the reason, we want to help.
We realize that it can be frustrating due to the many possibilities, so let us assist you.

Violence, vomit and vandalism not our future
Violence, vomit and vandalism not our future, says Alcohol Healthwatch
Violence, vomit and vandalism are not part of Auckland's vibrancy and liveable city future says Alcohol Healthwatch Director Rebecca Williams.
Auckland Council's Regional Strategy and Policy Committee agreed to adopt the draft Local Alcohol Policy for public consultation at its meeting yesterday morning.
Williams says the draft Local Alcohol Policy provides some real opportunities to get on top of our city's drinking problems. The Council have been working on the drafting for quite some time now and Williams believes it is time to get the draft policy out there to enable the community to determine whether it meets their expectations or not.
Williams says there are a few aspects of the draft policy that need to be tightened up to ensure it delivers on harm reduction objectives.
"For example the draft policy proposes maximum closing hours of 1am in most areas and 3am in Central Auckland, but then includes capacity to extend those times by two hours. This defeats the purpose of including more restrictive trading hours in the first place."
National maximum trading hours of 4am closing came into force in December last year and Williams says there have been some early indications that this has resulted in reduced alcohol-related crime and violence.
"There is no point in allowing trading up to 5am when we already know that this is contributing to alcohol-related harm. It's simply counterproductive."
In addition, Williams says these extensions could lead to even larger variances between trading hours across the city which will encourage migratory drinking and pre-loading behaviours which are also significant risk factors. The Council has opted out of using a one-way door approach to bridge the gap, something Williams suggests might need reconsideration.
She says another issue with the draft policy is the limited area identified in the Central Business District (CBD) for restrictions.
"The policy highlights only a small part of Queen St and Fort Street as priority areas, but the whole CDB needs increased controls or problems are just going to get shunted from one street to another."
Williams says she's concerned by some of the short-sighted arguments put forward by some people critical of the draft policy.
"They seem more concerned about a mum being able to get a bottle of wine at the supermarket in the early hours of the morning than they are about addressing the havoc caused by the excessive availability of alcohol. Most mums I know would happily forego a bit of convenience knowing that their children or grandchildren are safer as a result."

A FAMILY who have been evacuated from their home because of the floods have no idea when they will be able to return.
Danielle McLauchlan and Mark Gower were evacuated from their Sovereign Housing home in Sperrin Close with their two children, Jack, 11, and Harry, seven, last Saturday.
They have since been put up in various hotels, but have no idea when they will be able to return home.
Mark, 32, said: "The road has been flooded for three weeks and then the front of our house flooded last Thursday. The front footpath started to flood and came into the front garden. It looked really bad last Friday."
He added: "I lifted the sewer covers which are in our garden, and they were completely full."
On Saturday, the back garden also became flooded and the family began to fear the water could reach their house.
Danielle, 30, said: "I was upstairs and came down, and the kitchen was wet. There was about a foot of water in the kitchen. It had come up through the ground, not through the doors."
She added: "There was nothing I could do. I got towels and put them down but they were soaked in seconds."
Mark, a delivery driver, returned with the couple's sons to see the devastation. He said: "It's one of the worst things that can happen to your home, but it's Mother Nature and sometimes you can't stop things and have to let it run its course."
The family, who have lived in their home for nine years, managed to salvage some of their belongings but had to leave their furniture to rot in the water as it was too heavy to move.
They spent two nights at the Premier Inn, at Basingstoke Leisure Park, before being moved to Copper Beeches, in Cliddesden Road.
But the family say they need kitchen facilities, having lived off takeaways since they were evacuated.
Mark said: "We don't know what's happening next. It's all a bit crazy at the moment. The house won't clear until the road is clear. We understand it needs to run its course, but we need to carry on living our lives."
They have had to keep returning to their house to collect clothing and other items, wading through the floodwater to reach upstairs.
Danielle, a cleaner, said: "Once the house is sorted, every time it rains we are going to think 'is it going to happen again?' It's going to be months before we can return."

Greg Lake To Release 'Songs Of A Lifetime' Live CD
Greg Lake has long been considered a legendary voice and musical powerhouse whose impact changed the landscape of rock and roll. Many simply refer to him as "The Voice". Visionary and creative, 'Songs Of A Lifetime' provides an evocative, emotional ride into the life and music of one of the world's most popular songwriters in a unique format which relies on audience involvement as well as the artistry of the performer. Says Greg, "This is not one of those boring shows sitting on a stool strumming folk songs, I purposely set out to make this show dynamic and entertaining with lots of drama and pathos, even some humour at times as well. Everyone feels part of the performance because we all bonded by the shared memories of our musical journeys together." The recordings on the 'Songs Of A Lifetime' CD were taken from a selection of shows performed on the 2012 tour.
The CD release coincides with the upcoming release of Greg Lake's autobiography, 'Lucky Man', and was inspired by it, but the two are not the same. The autobiography is NOT an audio recording of the show, but a narrative of Lake's experiences from childhood to the present, including never before revealed details, funny and poignant moments, and colourful facts of his amazing career as one of the world's leading and influential musicians, songwriters, vocalists and poets. The autobiography will be released both as an audio book read by the author and the complete print edition is anticipated at the end of the year. In support of the release plans for tours in Japan, Europe, South America, USA and Canada are currently in the works and will be announced shortly.

What we really want on Mother's Day
By Chantelle Ellem
Our special day, Mother's Day, arrives just once a year, although we have lovely little reminders each and everyday from the little people in our lives. It's a day filled with warm and fuzzy moments, the people we love, as well as celebrating our own Mothers.
As much as we'd probably love a designer handbag or outfit and a piece of jewelry with more sparkles than our toddler could count, we're quite easily pleased.
What we really want for Mother's Day is:
We'd love the gift of a good night's sleep. It would be a dream come true to have the house as quiet as a mouse until we woke from the land of blissful slumber. We'll probably always be in deficit in the sleep bank, but just one quality night's sleep would make such a difference. We'd like someone to get up to the kids during the night and in the morning no moans or groans nor need to mention the ungodly hour whatever it may be.
We'd love to sit down to a dinner with our family and not have had to think about creating it, cooking it and shopping for it as well. We're not fussy. We don't care what it is, just as long as it's not burnt sausages, toast or fast food arriving in a greasy brown paper bag. It's probably best if it's not served with plastic cutlery too.
We can happily do carnations. We'd just prefer to not have them from the local service station in a last minute attempt at a Mother's Day gift. There's something about wilting, dying flowers that doesn't quite say I love you Mum.
For years now we've put ourselves last on the priority list. It's nappies over night cream every time. We'd love for another person to pamper us for even just one hour. Most days we have little hands tugging at our sleeves requesting this and that, so to have a person pampering and touching us without demanding something is a delightful notion.
Most of us don't really want Mother's Day to be a Hallmark moment, we'd much prefer it be a handmade occasion. All it requires is a piece of paper, a crayon and three words scribbled across the top: "I love you."

Yeah, the fact that it's always the same bit makes it seem like it could be one bad physical bit. (Does this machine have ECC memory??) The thing that this theory has a hard time with is that the buffer's global refcount is zero. If you assume that there's a bit that sometimes randomly goes to 1 when it should be 0, then what I'd expect to typically happen is that UnpinBuffer sees nonzero LocalRefCount and hence doesn't drop the session's global pin when it should. The only way that doesn't happen is if decrementing LocalRefCount to zero stores a nonzero pattern when it should store zero, but nonetheless the CPU thinks it stored zero. As you say there's some small possibility of a CPU glitch doing that, but then why is it only happening to LocalRefCount and not any other similar coding? At the moment I like the other theory you alluded to, that this is a wild store from code that thinks it's manipulating some other data structure entirely. The buffer IDs will help confirm or refute that perhaps. No idea ATM how we would find the problem if it's like that ... regards, tom lane

Harvey has high hopes in Britain
Page Tools
Just one week after entering the UK market, Harvey World Travel said it expected its operations there to turn a profit by June next year.
At the company 's annual meeting in Sydney yesterday, managing director Barry Mayo said he was heartened by the "very strong inquiries" Harvey World had already received from would-be franchisees in the UK.
The company expects to incur $2.9 million in set-up costs in 2004-05 for its new Birmingham base but Mr Mayo said he was confident Harvey World would have the 70 UK franchisees needed to make the operations profitable by next June.
"We've got no doubt that it will meet expectations," he said.
Harvey World shares fell 6c to $1.52.
The company's board praised its new UK managing director John Donnelly, who it credited with setting up 38 "travel superstores" in the country.
"This guy is incredibly good," a director, Don Morris, said.
Harvey World also reaffirmed its forecasts of a 20 per cent lift in net profit this fiscal year, noting it had reduced its chain of unprofitable company-owned stores from 22 in June 2003 to six. The stores, which were originally acquired when Harvey World bought Thomas Cook's Australian operations in 2001, posted a $1 million loss last fiscal year.
"We've never seen ourselves as an owner of travel agencies, our business is franchising and providing the services that go with a franchise," Mr Mayo said.
"Our view is that the best person to be operating and managing a store is the person that actually owns it."
Mr Mayo also played down the impact of Qantas's plans to cut the commissions on Harvey World, noting the other fees and volume-based incentives travel agents receive from airlines.

Thinking Fast and Coding Slow: Behavioral Economics and Software Engineering
John Graham
Director of Integration Middleware
Engineering at Red Hat
Behavioral Economics represents the incorporation of psychological concepts into Neoclassical Economics, and has come to the general public's attention recently through popular accounts and explanations of various crises. The premise of this talk is that aspects of Behavioral Economics can help in understanding the dynamics of Software Engineering. I will recount an engineering manager's experiences applying ideas from Behavioral Economics to software engineering in projects small and large, distributed and co-located, over the past decade. In particular, I will concentrate on how the "heuristics and biases" strand of Behavioral Economics is relevant to the Software Engineering domain, and whether current Software Engineering methodologies are designed to cope with these challenges. I will show that the caricatures of human actors in Neoclassical Economics and Behavioral Economics have direct parallels in Software Engineering methodologies, and explore the implications of these observations for improvements of results from software development teams.
John is currently the Director of Integration Middleware Engineering at Red Hat, managing a large (100+ people) global software team and seven products within Red Hat's middleware portfolio. Prior to joining Red Hat in 2008, John was a Senior Staff Engineer at Sybase, where he was a founding member of the Data Tools Platform open source project at the Eclipse Foundation. John has 15+ years of professional experience in software development and management, concentrating on application integration and open source software. In addition to education in computer science and software engineering, John has completed a Masters degree (University of Hawai'i) in Asian Studies, concentrating on computational aspects of Asian languages, especially modern and classical Japanese. Recently John has become an avid runner, and now frames much of his time in BR (Before Run) and AR (After Run) periods.

Orwell's rules of language
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the death of George Orwell (1903-1950), a British writer most famous for his novels Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty Four.
Orwell wasn't just a novelist, however – he wrote hundreds of essays, articles and studies during his lifetime, in addition to the six novels he penned. His focus in writing was often on his ardent passion against totalitarianism and social injustices, and part of this focus involved clarity of language – that is to say, transmitting your message in as few words as is necessary, so that it can be understood by as many people as possible. He coined several neologisms ('new words') in his writings, many of which are still in use today, such as "Big Brother" – and in fact, we sometimes even use the term "Orwellian" to describe something as harmful to a free society.
Even though Orwell's love for the clarity of language was well-founded, Nineteen Eighty Four sees the totalitarian government adopt a new, obfuscating form of language – Newspeak – which does away with all synonyms (words that mean the same as another word) and antonyms (words that mean the opposite) to create a vocabulary of simple dichotomies – good and ungood, pleasure and pain, etc..
The effect of this Newspeak is that it forcefully removes from the English language all ideas of freedom and rebellion against the state. If you can't say something, it makes it a lot harder to think it – which brings the government one step closer towards controlling the thoughts of its populace, thus demonstrating the total dominance of the ruling regime.
Whilst Orwell of course never condones Newspeak in reality (though it was a brilliantly effective literary device), he also was never fond of the opposite extreme. In one of his most prominent essays – Politics and the English Language, he draws up six rules of good writing, which we nowadays perhaps might deem as common sense:
It's fair to say that Orwell will mostly be remembered for the political statements made through his writing, but it is slightly less known just how much of an effect he had on the English language itself!

One dead, one injured in Glenwood Springs shooting
August 2, 2013
GLENWOOD SPRINGS – At 5:23 p.m. on Thursday, the Garfield Sheriff's Office announced that Freddy Argueta Cabrera, 39, suspect in a shooting incident on Wednesday night, turned himself in to authorities and currently is in custody in Mesa County.
Walt Stowe, public information officer for the Garfield County Sheriff's Office, wrote in an email that the investigation into the shooting is continuing. Stowe could not be reached for further information about where, exactly, Cabrera turned himself in.
The incident began at about 11 p.m. Wednesday, when one man died and a woman was injured as a result of a shooting at an apartment complex south of town at 1573 County Road 154, according to a statement from the Garfield County Sheriff's Office.
Both shooting victims were transported to Valley View Hospital, where the man was later pronounced dead. The woman was flown to Denver for additional care.
Authorities have not released information about the victims.
By afternoon on Thursday, authorities checked to determine whether Cabrera, who is the owner of the two El Horizonte restaurants in Carbondale and Glenwood Springs, was hiding at his home in the Blue Lake subdivision near El Jebel.
A squad of Garfield County All Hazards Response Team (AHRT) members were sent to search the murder scene in South Glenwood Springs, and later to search the home in Blue Lake.
As of approximately 2:30 p.m., according to Laurie Saliday, owner of the Solara preschool in El Jebel, her school was in total lock down, and she had heard that the Blue Lake Pre School also was in lock-down mode while the manhunt continued.
The scene
Thursday morning, the 11-unit apartment complex at 1573 County Road 154 (Old State Highway 82) was roped off with police tape, as sheriff's personnel conducted their investigation at the shooting site.
A woman who was at one of the upper-tier apartments of the complex when the shootings took place told a reporter at about noon that she heard the shots clearly.
The shooting took place in an area farther downhill from the old highway than the "front" apartment building, closer to the Roaring Fork River, an area of riverbottom land where there are at least two structures that are rented out.
"Gunshots is what we heard, and then we called the cops," said the woman, who declined to give her name but said she was baby-sitting for a friend at the apartment when the shots were fired at about 11 p.m.
'We knew they were coming from that way," she added, pointing downhill toward the river from where she was sitting.
"I have two kids, and I just grabbed them and took them inside," said the renter who lives in the apartment, and who also declined to give her name.
"We locked the door and didn't leave the house" once police arrived, the baby-sitter continued. "I guess they haven't found the guy yet, but they've been here all night. It was definitely a scary scene. Everybody was pretty freaked out."
The two woman said they did not know the people living in the unit where the shootings took place, except to wave to as they passed each other in the course of a day.
The baby-sitter said she was not sure how many people were living in the apartment, but added, "I think it was all guys. Maybe a girl or two came by now and then. I'm not positive."
Plus, she said, the residents of the lower buildings did not mix with the others living in the complex.
"We do, like, barbecues and picnics out there," she said, pointing toward a grassy area near the building. "They weren't anybody that came to any of that."
Lock down
Shortly after noon Thursday, the sheriff's All Hazards Response Team (AHRT), which is the local equivalent of an urban SWAT squad, were called in to search in the area where the shooting occurred, though they apparently found nothing to report at that time.
As that search was under way, deputies locked down the set of apartments adjacent to the county road, preventing anyone from approaching the building.
"They're not letting us back in," complained an irate George Turner, who said he has lived in the complex for more than a decade and was present when the shots were fired.
Another resident of the 11-unit complex, 54-year old Karl Jones, said he was sitting outside at the time of the shooting, but did not hear the shots. He, too, did not know the people living in the unit where the shooting took place.
The manager of the complex, former Aspen developer Hans Cantrup, said he was awakened by the noise of the shooting, though he did not realize immediately that it was gunfire.
"I heard six sounds," he recalled, "but it wasn't that loud. I didn't think it was gunfire, because there are sounds, sometimes late at night, people come home."
Cantrup, 84, said the atmosphere around the complex is usually quite friendly.
"We have a real nice, family kind of feeling here," he said. "What we run here is affordable. They're small, but they're pretty nice."
The renter of the unit where the shooting occurred, Cantrup said, was Micael Martinez, who lived there with his girlfriend.
"He was a real pleasant fellow," Cantrup recalled, adding that whenever Martinez was unable to come up with the rent Cantrup would "accommodate" the delay.
Eighteen people live at the complex now, Cantrup said.
The suspect
Cabrera has lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for more than 20 years, according to the website for his restaurants.
Born in Morazan, El Salvador, the website states, "He had to run away form the civil war in his country and take refuge in the United States."
He came to Aspen in the early 1990s, worked in restaurants for about a dozen years, and in 2004 opened his first restaurant in Carbondale.
In 2006, according to the website, he opened the second store in Glenwood Springs.

|That spot looks amazing...how tall are those towers?
By Monomaniac
From: Morrison, CO
May 21, 2007
|The big tower just left of center with bushes on the summit (called The Wedding Cake) requires a 60m rap to descend (on the north/mainland end). That should offer some frame of reference. The slender pillar just before (right of) the wedding cake stands about 40 feet above its base. The Power Pole et. al. I would guess are about 20-25m tall.

Beirut: When Syrian government forces swept into Yabroud, a town long held by rebels near the Lebanese border, it was a symbolic turning point for insurgents and government supporters alike in a conflict now in its fourth year.
The fall of Yabroud helps President Bashar al-Assad secure the land route connecting the capital Damascus with Aleppo and the Mediterranean coast. It could sever a vital insurgent supply line from Lebanon and consolidate government control over a swathe of territory from Damascus to the central city of Homs.
A military source in Syria said about 1400 rebels from the Free Syrian Army, Ahrar al-Sham and other factions had fled Yabroud in the past two days. Another 1000 militants from the al-Qaeda-linked Jabhat al-Nusra had stayed to fight government forces which had entered eastern districts of Yabroud and captured several hilltops.
''They fought a fierce battle and then from last night until the early hours of today, they all pulled out,'' he said.
The source said the militants had withdrawn to the nearby villages of Hosh Arab, Fleita and Rankos as well as Arsal, a Lebanese border town 20 kilometres to the north-west.
Thousands of civilians had fled Yabroud, a town of about 40,000 to 50,000 people, roughly 60 kilometres north of Damascus, and the surrounding areas after it was bombed and shelled last month ahead of the government offensive.
The military source said that in parallel to the capture of Yabroud, the army and air force had closed 14 of 18 crossings into Lebanon, where violence has spilled over in the past year.
For Syrian opposition activists and some rebels, Yabroud had been a model of what they had hoped for from the uprising that began with peaceful protests in March 2011, a dream that seems to be receding. Before foreign fighters and Syrians with a more radical bent arrived in greater numbers late last year, it was a place where civilians, not fighters, held sway. Residents had governed themselves: collecting trash, keeping order and sheltering thousands of displaced Syrians. Christians and Muslims still lived together, and a negotiated understanding with government forces kept the town relatively unscathed.
But now the news from Yabroud is likely to deepen the despair of Syria's opposition.
Across Syria, insurgents are fighting one another, the humanitarian crisis is growing unabated and the government of Dr Assad is making gradual advances on several fronts. Perhaps most significantly, it has succeeded in sowing division among its opponents by offering local truces – some view them as surrender – to areas it has long blockaded and bombarded. Opponents of the truces call those who accept them traitors and, in return, are accused of neglecting the plight of civilians.
On Sunday, opposition fugitives from Yabroud wondered whether such a deal was behind the town's fall. A fighter from Yabroud who fled to Lebanon on Saturday said he had been ordered to retreat. He said fighters then told him that last week's deal to release nuns who had been held hostage – negotiated by Qatar, which backs the insurgents, the Syrian government and a Yabroud businessman who is reported to have ties to Russia – included a provision that Jabhat al-Nusra, the radical jihadist group that held the nuns, would retreat in return for safe passage.
''If that's right,'' said the fighter, who gave only a nom de guerre, Abu Omar, ''that means I'm stupid and it's all about money – or food.''
Casting some doubt on that theory, Abu Azzam al-Kuwaiti, an al-Nusra commander who freed the nuns in return for the release of government prisoners, including his wife and children, was killed in Saturday's fighting.
In Beirut, the wife of a rebel fighter from Yabroud burst into tears on Sunday after losing contact with her husband. It was odd, she said, that the town had fallen so suddenly after a long period of slow government advances. ''There is something missing in the picture,'' she said.
But while the insurgents had the advantage of mountainous terrain, they were outgunned by Hezbollah fighters and government warplanes. On Saturday the woman's husband, who asked to be identified only as Abu al-Majd, had said that Syrian aircraft dropped 10 barrel bombs on the town.
He had complained bitterly about the exiled opposition coalition, which had recently pledged cash to support the rebel fighters and the local government, and for the construction of a bakery. The money never arrived, he said, calling the exiles a ''bunch of liars and hypocrites''.
But the takeover of Yabroud may not restore normal government control; residents of Qusair, taken nine months ago, say it remains a Hezbollah-patrolled ghost town. And a Hezbollah member of parliament in Lebanon, Waleed Sukariyeh, told Al Jadeed television that it could backfire if fleeing rebels shift attacks to Lebanon. ''Rockets will rain on Baalbek,'' he said. ''We will have involved Lebanon in a war.''

New Cars for 2013: Honda
Charting the changes for the 2013.
Accord (shown above): The perennial C/D 10Best mid-sizer went under the knife for its quasi-quadrennial redesign, emerging for 2013 slightly smaller, a little lighter, and bearing new engines and transmissions. The teaser concept unveiled at the Detroit auto show in January suggests that the Accord won't look dramatically different: The side spear lines get softer, and the headlight-grille band gets narrower and more like the current Civic's. Honda's new family of "Earth Dreams" engines includes its first direct-injection milla 2.4-liter four paired with a CVT or a six-speed manual. The 3.5-liter V-6 will feature cylinder deactivation and a six-speed (finally) automatic or, in the Accord coupe, the option of a six-speed manual. A plug-in hybrid employs a 161-hp electric motor and a small, 6-kWh lithium-ion battery pack for 10 to 15 miles of electric-only driving up to 62 mph. The small pack means quick recharge times of less than four hours using a household 120-volt outlet. Matching its competitors, the new Accord will have lane-departure warning and a blind-spot camera system among its safety items, plus a new high-res multicolor infotainment screen [see Accord Sedan drive - see official photos and info].
Crosstour: This wagon-y hatchback version of the Accord sheds some of its estrogenic styling with blacked-out side sills and blockier front and rear bumpers that hint at SUV-ish skid plates. Like the Accord, it will see the six-speed automatic and the updated 3.5-liter V-6 with cylinder deactivation (its base engine is the four-cylinder introduced last year). Safety items such as blind-spot cameras come along, too.
FCX Clarity: The lucky few who get Honda's moonshot fuel-cell car will find that the 2013 model has better acoustic isolation of its motor and compressor.
Fit EV: Based on the Fit and sharing driveline technology with the FCX, this EV offers econ, normal, and sport driving modes [see Tech Tidbit below].
Minor trim changes: CR-Z, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline
Unchanged: Civic, CR-V, Fit, Insight
Comparo: 2011 Honda Accord V6 vs. Volkswagen Passat 3.6, Hyundai Sonata 2.0T
Road Test: 2009 Honda FCX Clarity
Honda's Fit EV [see drive] achieves the highest MPGe rating ever earned in EPA testing. In the same combined-driving test where the Nissan Leaf achieved 99 MPGe and the Ford Focus Electric reached 105, Honda's hero scored 118 MPGe and an 82-mile range. A 123-hp motor drives the front wheels through a single-speed transaxle. The lithium-ion battery can be recharged in three hours with 240-volt power. Honda will limit U.S. sales to 1100 Fit EVs.

Touring: Legislatures
from the Missouri House of Representatives
Appropriations Committee for Transportation and Economic
Development toured UMR on Wednesday. In this Photo, the
tour group visits a non-destructive testing lab at the
HyPoint Industrial Park to learn more about ongoing
research at the university. Pictured are, Committee
Chair and District 11 State Rep. Charles Schlottach,

State representatives
from the House Appropriations Committee for Transportation and
Economic Development toured the University of Missouri-Rolla
on Wednesday to learn more about how UMR is boosting the
states economy and helping to improve its
The visit from Committee Chair and
District 11 State Rep. Charles Schlottach, R-Owensville, and
Vice Chair and District 147 State Rep. Don Wells, R-Cabool,
was part of the Committees ongoing effort to merge academia,
business and politics within the state. Also joining the group
was 149th District Rep. Bob May.
The campus tour
highlighted several university research facilities that are
working on projects that will be a benefit not only to
Missouri, but the nation and the world.
These are our
crown jewels,?Vice Provost K. Krishnamurthy said of the
research facilities.
The first stop was a laboratory in
McNutt Hall, where students and professors are working on
friction stir welding, a process developed to join aluminum
The technique uses localized heat generated by
friction to weld metal without melting. The process is being
used in the aerospace industry to create strong, lightweight
welds on aircraft.
Next, Schlottach, Wells and May were
shown the progress of the construction on the universitys new
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering facility, Toomey Hall.
Construction of the $29 million Toomey Hall, which should be
complete in May, is possible, in part, because of $15 million
in state funding granted to UMR through the Lewis & Clark
Discovery Initiative.
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is UMRs largest
engineering program, with 760 students enrolled. Currently,
1,100 of the universitys graduates are employed by Boeing,
showing the cooperation UMR has formed with corporations
interested in employing its students.The group of
legislatures and UMR representatives then moved to the Center
for Infrastructure Engineering Studies (CIES) in the
Butler-Carlton Civil Engineering Building.Several
studies are being conducted at the CIES that could benefit
Missouris transportation systems. The CIES now is involved in
18 bridge projects in the region, including one in Phelps
County, using Fiber Reinforced Polymers and carbon sheeting to
strengthen structures.The techniques being developed
by students and faculty at the CIES can be used to expand the
lives of existing bridges, rather than tearing them down to
build new structures.Another project at the CIES is
part of a study involving five other universities to observe
the effects of earthquakes on bridge columns. The research
will help to develop methods to design stronger bridges, as
well as make existing bridge columns stronger.Next, it
was time for the group to hop on UMRs hydrogen-powered
shuttle bus for a ride to the laboratory of Dr. Sunggyu Lee,
professor of Chemical & Biological Engineering, located in
the HyPoint Industrial Park.Lee and his team of
graduate and undergraduate students work on research and
development contracts from major corporations, such as Dow and
BASF, and the government. The non-destructive testing lab is
engaged in several projects, including chemical extraction
from plants, hydrogen fuel production and chemical
processing.Finally, Committee members were taken back
to UMR for a brief presentation on the progress of the
Innovation Park.Over the next five to 10 years, we
hope to see some technological companies coming to our area,?
UMR Chancellor John F. Carney told the group. Its phenomenal
what it could mean for our community.?BR>Keith Strassner,
director of Technology, Commercialization and Development,
said the Innovation Park will serve as a bridge between the
research being conducted at UMR and the marketplace, and
hopefully will keep UMRs best and brightest students in the
area.Strassner said the three major goals of the park
are to create revenue, cultivate entrepreneurship and develop
infrastructure, which is good for the Rolla area and the
state.We worked with the community to develop
something everyone can be proud of,?Strassner said, adding
that several potential clients have shown interest in
developing the property.Among those interested in
building facilities in the Innovation Park are defense
contractors and at least one Fortune 500 company.Its
a name you would recognize,?Strassner said of the potential
client. Its an opportunity to bring good-paying,
high-quality jobs to this region of Missouri.?BR>UMR also
plans to build at 20,000 to 30,000 square-foot business
incubator in the park.At the conclusion of the tour
and presentations, Schlottach voiced the Appropriation
Committees desire to continue to work with UMR. He said he
believes there are many challenges ahead of the state in terms
of strengthening the economy and transportation, but many of
the developments at UMR are helping lead the way.The
challenge ahead of us is absolutely incredible,?Schlottach
said. But Im more sure now than ever that we will meet it
with flying

International Scholars of the 21st Century: Comparative Visions from Teaching Floors in Finland and Australia
Scholars around the world are currently engaging in new debate about what constitutes culturally appropriate, sustainable and effective pedagogy in contexts involving international education (Hellstén & Reid, 2008). There is today universal agreement among the community of scholars that most higher education learning sites in contemporary society are at least culturally and ethnically international. The issue of global academic accountability and best practice is therefore positioned at the core of recent pedagogical articulations. However, at the ground level, where teaching and learning reveals its intricacies of a 'human kind', academics and students alike are struggling with relating to the new jargon defining the 21st Century Scholar. This 'scholar' is well equipped for the new global era, is amicably versed in the communicative repertoires of globally aware citizens and has an impressively mapped cross-cultural academic pathway and graduate capabilities supported by their institution.
In this presentation we report on discussions with current students and teachers about their academic and professional visions of and for the future, and their sense of place among the community of scholars of the 21st Century. The study was conducted in Australia and Finland, two countries that have received recent comparable attention on student literacy levels internationally (PISA), and consequently on the quality of teaching, including teacher educators. The empirical data consists of students' written narratives subjected to discourse analytic scrutiny. We offer some implications for developing pedagogy, policy and practice for higher education and invite insights and comments from the international forum of the conference community of scholars.

The students, aged 16 to 18, allegedly beat and kicked their 17-year-old victim, forcing him to strip, eat chalk, and chew cigarette ends.
The case caused an outcry in Germany when grainy video footage of the incidents was shown on TV in February.
If convicted, the students could face up to five years in prison.
They are accused of a wide range of offences including causing bodily harm and coercion over beatings inflicted on the victim from September last year.
The 11 defendants, all dressed in jeans and wearing baseball caps, seemed nervous and often looked at the floor as they waited to go into the closed session at the Hildesheim juvenile court, the German magazine Der Spiegel reported.
Open secret
Prosecutors say the victim's classmates at the Hildesheim school knew about or were involved in what they call the "systematic torture" that began two weeks after he arrived at the institution.
The alleged acts include forcing the teenager to expose his genitals, and punching or beating him with objects including sticks and a screwdriver.
The alleged abusers videotaped their actions, which are said to have taken place in a classroom and a storeroom at the school; some of the pictures were distributed on the internet.
The victim's ordeal became an open secret in the school, prosecutors say, but it was months before he plucked up the courage to tell a counsellor about the abuse he was suffering.
Prosecutors say the teenagers have all confessed but one of the defence lawyers, Henning Sonnenberg, said none had been able to explain why they acted as they did.
The four alleged ringleaders have been in custody since early February.
They were all students at a vocational school in Hildesheim, near Hanover, on a one-year course to prepare them for jobs.
The victim, who is undergoing therapy, was not present for Tuesday's hearing but has been asked to give evidence next week.

Daily 3-Bet: China's Poker Princess Busted, JRB Slims Down, N9 Video
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is the Slim-Fast shake of the normally bloated mid-afternoon poker news world.
Make suggestions for future 3-Bet pieces in the comments below.
In today's 3-Bet we'll look at poker-playing Chinese socialite Guo Meimei getting busted, Jean-Robert Bellande dropping a few pounds and a new WSOP video to get you hyped for the 2014 November Nine.
1) The Chinese Molly Bloom Gets Busted
Molly Bloom has an incredible story about hosting a high-stakes Hollywood poker game but China's Guo Meimei may have her beat.
Meimei is a social media celebrity in China who wagered millions in online betting, hosted a private poker game and earned hundreds of thousands as an escort.
Unfortunately for Meimei the good times appear to be over as she was arrested earlier this summer.
Meimei had a polarizing effect on her followers as she was criticized for flaunting her extraordinary wealth, which she spent on fast cars, designer clothes and vacations around the world. She once posted a photo of her 10-digit bank balance.
On Monday the China Central Television revealed where she got her money and a video confession.
Interestingly Memei started running her private poker game after befriending a high-stakes poker poker pro in Macau.
There's no telling who that player is but numerous pros including Phil Ivey, Sam Trickett and Tom Dwan have been known to play the biggest games in Macau.
Check out this video about it from the Sydney Morning Herald:
2) BrokeLivingJRB Makes $70k Weight-Loss Wager
It appears the BrokeLivingJRB we all know and love will be getting a new slim look in the near future.
Jean-Robert Bellande mentioned on Twitter that he was attempting to go from 287lbs to 245lbs by November 1 and he has $70,000 in bets on it.
Initially Bellande accidentally said he was going from 187 to 145, which would have made him StarvingJRB, and definitely got a few laughs from poker fans.
Bellande is currently sitting at 266lbs according to the following picture so he's got 16lbs to go, which seems doable.
If you have any crazy weight-loss tricks you might as well send them to JRB. Might save him $70,000 in the end.
3) WSOP Releases November Nine Promo
The WSOP releases short teaser-style video of the November Nine today, which includes the exact moment the bubble burst and the considerable amount of relief for the nine players who survived.
It's a cool video, although we're starting to wonder just how much mileage the WSOP is going to get from that American Author's Best Day of My Life song, which we heard approximately 48,373 times this summer.
Watching the video it's striking how much of an impact the Brazilian fans had on the atmosphere at the Rio. Expect the Brazilian fandom to be cranked up 1000X at the actual Main Event final table in November.

The Suburban, in Branford, CTJanuary 20, 2011
Arturo Franco-Camacho and his wife Suzette have another hit restaurant, this time a gastro pub in the suburban town of Branford, aptly called The Suburban.
If you dine in Connecticut, you know this team from their first hit, the neuvo-Latino restaurant Roomba that changed the New Haven dining scene. Roomba was located downstairs in the alley off Chapel Street in New Haven. People found it and continued to come in droves for the unusual and delicious food.
From there they moved to College Street and with their eclectic Bespoke, continuing with some food their customers came to know and love from Roomba but adding some Mediterranean flavor to their Latino ones.
In my book, this husband and wife team literally changed the food scene in New Haven, elevating it from what was almost a vast wasteland to the hottest food city in the state. The moved out of New Haven to Branford because of continuing problems with their landlord. Dare I mention that it was Yale University.
The meal at The Suburban was delicious. We started with a delicate mushroom soup topped with mushroom chips and served with a lightly truffled pecorino grilled cheese piece ($12) and also a delicate foie gras torchon with caramelized onion, brioche toast a fall fruit compote of quince, pomegranate and apple ($13)
Then we sampled two entrees not on the regular menu but usually as offered as specials — that is until they've run out. One was boneless braised short ribs topped with chunk of lobser, served with a celery root puree, an asparagus, and a Choron bearnaise sauce with a touch of spicy chipotle ($30), and porcini dusted scallops with a butternut squash risotto and a skiitake pancetta sauce.
Definitely worth the trip over the Q-bridge.

Priscilla Says:
We had a wonderful meal at The Suburban a couple of weeks ago and were thrilled to see the review in the NY Times yesterday. The food is flavorful and inventive and I found the use of vegetable refreshing.
Darpa Govinda Says:
After saying that it would open again after a hiatus opening the new fast service Tacuba/Swill concept, The owners "sold" The Suburban. It is been turned into an Organic Vegetarian eatery (I'll put $20 on it not being around in a year.
It is probably unfair of me to feel this way, but I feel that a restaurant, especially a good restaurant, becomes part of a community, and that the owners have some responsibility to their clientele.
I was quite dismayed to find that the team has abandoned another restaurant.
I've been to Tacuba but I won't be back – I don't want to be disappointed when that place closes too.

First Timers Cruise to Cabo: Radiance of the Seas Cruise Review by BBAZ
Overall Member Rating
First Timers Cruise to Cabo
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: San Diego
MEALS Since this was our first cruise, we didn't know what to expect on board the ship. The meals in the Breakers Dining room were equivalent to those in a 4 or 5 star restaurant. We enjoyed meeting 3 other couples at our dining table. We also found the food served (buffet style) in the Windjammer Cafe to be top notch. The only disappointment was in the Seaview Cafe. The Reuben sandwich I ordered for lunch was below par.
STATEROOM My wife really enjoyed finding a different bath towel decoration created by the stateroom attendant in our room every night. One night it was a chicken and another night it was a swan. The accommodations in our room were better than we hoped for. We had a balcony stateroom, which we More didn't use as much as I expected. In the future, we'll probably a stateroom with a view to save money. If you don't like noise, choose a stateroom away from the center of the ship. The music from the lower levels was very loud in that area of the deck.
STAFF Our stateroom attendant was very thorough and unobtrusive. We also found the dining staff to be friendly and attentive. We only saw the head waiter the last night of the cruise when tips were handed out. I prepaid our gratuities based on the RCI's recommendation. I'd be interested in hearing from other members on how much they deviate from the recommended tipping amounts.
ENTERTAINMENT The entertainment was good. The cruise director displayed a great sense of humor. The comedian was also very funny. The singing in the musical performed the last night of the cruise was excellent. The performance of some of the dancers, however, was not exceptional.
SUMMARY Some people of the veteran cruisers met on board said the service was below what they experienced in the past with RCI. However, we found the service to be excellent, and I would definitely recommend RCI and this ship. Less
Published 10/06/09
Cabin review: 7638
Quiet location and a good view from the balcony. Shower was the same size as my travel trailer's.
Port and Shore Excursions
BOAT TOUR We purchased an excursion on board the ship. It consisted of a boat ride to the Arch at Lands End and a taxi ride to the other side of the bay to take photos. The boat ride was definitely worth the money. Free drinks were served and I got lots of good photos of the scenery.
TAXI RIDE The 2nd half of the excursion was a taxi ride to the other side of the bay. There was no A/C in the van, and the view from the other side of the bay wasn't worth the trip. I'd recommend taking only the boat excursion for about half the money.
DIAMOND STORE We also stopped by Diamond International. The store was greatly hyped on the first day of the cruise. My wife and I were looking to purchase a new ring. The staff at the store was very courteous, and they had a large selection of rings and diamonds. The price offered was good, but not enough to entice us to purchase in foreign country in a city far from home.

I love bodybuilders. There's something about muscular men that drive me wild. Those sculpted abs, strong arms with their bulging biceps and massive shoulders, mighty legs like marble pillars - everything about them makes me tingle. But want to know what my favorite part of a beautiful piece of beefcake is? His butt. That's right - there's nothing like a hard, muscular ass to get me to look - no, to STARE. At the gym, I love watching guys in form fitting shorts as they do squats. Their bodies glisting with sweat, their strong shoulders holding the bar as their legs and magnificent asses flex.
And that's something I really like about Manifest Men - they make sure to capture not only each model's abs, cock, biceps, legs and shoulders but also his beautiful muscular ass!
I love those bodybuilder butts, yes indeed! In the gym, at the beach, posing, walking down the street or in the shower, I just can't get enough of those firm, muscled, rounded asses.
I don't know about you, but there's something about a man with a muscular, defined back and rock-hard glutes that makes me squirm in my chair. Muscle butts - I love 'em!
