Beginners or those new to the area may wish to participate in guided snowshoe treks. Several outfitters in the area offer them, often inside Rocky Mountain National Park. Dozens of trails weave across the national park, where snowshoeing is at its best. Occasionally, we get enough snow at lower elevations in Estes Park to warrant snowshoeing—on those lucky days, snowshoers could try trails near Lily Mountain or break their own across the village's open spaces. Most, however, head up to the higher elevations to snowshoe in Rocky Mountain National Park.
And while you are here, rent one of our gorgeous, magnificent vacation rental homes. Many have a hot tub so that you can take a nice relaxing dip after a day of snowshoeing.

Snowshoeing is a great activity for so many reasons: it gets you outdoors, keeps you fit, and is inexpensive. You can snowshoe almost anywhere there is snow-cover and, as an activity, it is suitable for young, old and everyone in between.
What's So Great About Snowshoeing?
The sport is easy to learn, virtually inexpensive (compared to other winter sports), poses little risk of injury and is a great way to exert energy during the cold winter months. According to research provided by Snowsports Industries America (SIA), 40.8 percent of snowshoers are women (a number that is increasing rapidly), 9.4 percent of snowshoers are children (ages 7-11), and 44.2 percent of snowshoers are ages 25-44.
"Last season, 4,111,000 persons in the U.S. went snowshoeing at least once during the 2011/2012 winter. Participation increased 7.5 percent from the 2010/2011 season. In fact, snowshoeing was one of the only snow sports categories that enjoyed growth last season," explained the SIA in its 2012 Participation Study.
One of the more appealing facts about snowshoeing is how it can help enrich a person's health. Known to help maintain or improve cardiovascular fitness, the sport helps burn more than 600 calories per hour. Snowshoers can burn more than 45 percent more calories than walking or running at the same speed, according to SIA. Snowshoeing is a great way to pursue losing weight; however, a healthy diet should be maintained to seek the appropriate effectiveness in a healthy lifestyle as well.
Rocky Mountain National Park, with 355 miles of hiking trails, near Estes Park will be able to suit any fitness and experience level.

|Some of our "girls" in a section of the tunnel
In an effort to allow our chickens to "free range" yet still provide protection from the many predatory birds we have around here, we've been working to create our chicken tunnels.
These are a series of 5 or 10 foot chicken wire hoops that I can move around the yard and let the girls out to eat the weeds and bugs and work my yard for me while benefiting from the extra nutrition that this foraging gives them. Currently I have a couple of corner sections to help with changing directions for my tunnels. The tunnels are heavy wire sections of chicken fencing that we've cut and folded in half to create the hoop. To secure it we've added wire that we've run through a piece of PVC to keep the chickens from cutting themselves on the wire. I used U shaped wire pieces that you can buy in packs to hold down weed fabric to hold the sections in place along with some logs or blocks to block any escapes on hills or to be able to move these sections as they move through the tunnels.
|The tunnel coming from the door we have on the side of the coop and up the side of a planting bed to the cage at the end
|Another view of the chickens in the tunnel
|The tunnel running from the coop up the hill to the new A frame tractor
|This was the very first day and short sections we had originally
As time goes on we'll add more corner pieces and hoops of varying lengths to be able to better cover the yard. Initially I used an empty animal cage to serve as the end of the tunnel. And still will use this as the area I'm covering requires, but thanks to Kevin's re-purposing a couple of old screen doors and creating an A-frame chicken tractor I have another end piece that can hold several hens at once as well as some water cans while they work to clear my yard of weeds.
|Kevin's handiwork as he's fit the two screen doors together and needs to add a door to one end and chicken wire to the other end to complete this chicken tractor that can be attached to our tunnels
|Getting ready to add a door
We are now down to one rooster. Our Polish Roo is the last man standing from the 15 roosters we had after originally getting a straight run of 28 chicks and then purchasing 2 more pullets a few months later. Over the last year we've culled 8, sold 1 other Polish Rooster, re-homed our 3 large Cochin Roosters, our BLR (called Blur) and our Blue Cochin Max (he was called this because his crow sounded like the beginning of the Maxwell Smart theme). It's A LOT quieter around here now!
|One of the large Cochin Roosters
|Saying goodbye as they get ready to leave for the farm the couple from Lakeland, Fl own.
|Blur and the reason he had to go to another home- he loved to be heard!
|Blur and his "girlfriend" who really misses him. Both are pretty Blue Laced Red Wyandotte's or BLR's for short
|Max another really gorgeous Cochin, but sadly loud and who crowed constantly. Again he and Blur went to a large farm where they will have more space and girls to watch over.
This last Rooster, Fumi - short for Fu-man Roo (Kevin's choice of names) is doing a great job of organizing the girls that are all interacting now that we have the door between the two sections of our large coop open for them to mingle.
|Fu-man Roo Posing for his photo op
|Oh Yea- he's the man!
|Time for my close up "Dawling" - sorry had to have a bit of fun with these.
The girls are doing a wonderful job on the yard and are LOVING the freedom the tunnels give them and we're enjoying the clearing they are doing in the yard and the reduction in feed because of the extra nutrition they're getting.
Now we just need a few more chicken tractors to add to the two we have to be able to more effectively move the girls around to other areas of the yard. Additionally some more sections of tunnel and we should be set to let our hens and rooster enjoy in safety the free range experience during the day before they are all safely returned and tucked away in the coop at night.
So that's the latest news on our little homestead.

Posted by Hillsdale Dental Care on Aug 26 2015, 11:25 PM
I've worn my temporary veneers for 5 weeks now and I am having a hard time getting used to them. I almost feel like my dentist is trying to make me like them. She keeps asking me don't they look great? Not to me. We already had one change to them and I still can't get used to the look. I asked my dentist this same question – how long is this going to go on? Tab
Tab – Our recommendation is that you sit down with an honest friend or family member and write down some specifics about what you don't like, and what he or she doesn't like, about your veneers. Although you may not agree with the person from whom you receive input, having someone there with you can help you express your thoughts clearly to your dentist.
Take the list with you to your dentist so you won't forget your request. Ensure that you and your dentist have the same understanding of your requests. It may help to look back at some of the photos of smile designs that your dentist showed you as an example of what you do or do not want for your smile.
After you receive your next temporary veneers, if they still are not what you want, it may be time to seek a second opinion from a skilled cosmetic dentist. Give your dentist a chance to rectify the issue. Be patient, but don't accept veneers that you are not thrilled about.
This post is sponsored by San Jose dentists Dr. Ralph Stanley, Dr. Magdalena Azzarelli, and Dr. Rogé Jacob of Hillsdale Dental Care.

Crazy busy and random stuff
Yikes I've been busy! Let's see… what has happened lately:
Well I moved to Columbia. No not that country in South America. The capital of South Carolina. Didn't you people have to learn state capitals in school? Jeesh. Anyways. I'm living here in an apartment with no TV, no internet (well, sort of.. I have a wifi card and the people around me have internet, so I'm sort of borrowing a bit of internet until the cable gets hooked up…), no washer/dryer (they were supposed to be here when we got here, but they weren't. so they were supposed to be here today, but they aren't. and they are supposed to be here monday, but I doubt it.), and no… umm… uhh… *looking around for anything else that might be missing* no breadmaker. Thats right. No freaking breadmaker. Stupid apartment. How the crap am I supposed to live without a breadmaker? Jeesh.
But anyways I'm hopefully gonna start looking for a duplex or four-plex or something-or-other soon and buy it. It would be nice to have something a little more permanent.
But I got a job. So now I'm a little more busy. I work from 9am to 5pm in downtown Columbia (well, I drive my brother to school, so I get to work at around 8am and play on the internet for 45 minutes or so…) at an ISP. Right now I'm doing like tier2/tier3 tech support, a bit of web development (real basic kid stuff.. nothing special..), some server admin stuff (trying to fix the spam situation on our mail servers), and testing DSL modems. Fun fun. Quite a variety actually. Its fun though. Joey works in the office across from mine. Well, across from the boss's office, actually. My office is currently occupied by another employee, so until that employee is gone, I am borrowing the boss's office, which works out because he is out of town. Not sure whats going to happen when he gets back in town. In fact, I haven't even met the boss in person yet. Not even sure what he looks like. I kind of picture a guy who is maybe average height, a bit skinny, always smiling (or at least grinning), and constantly on his cell phone. One of those people who can't hold still for 5 minutes. Probably the kind of person who looks you straight in the eye when talking to you. Sort of a salesman kind of person. But honestly I don't have a clue cause I've never met the man.
Joey, by the way, served in the same mission that I did. He is pretty good with computers. We are hopefully going to work on a few projects together (outside of work) and make some money. We both have some great webpage ideas, and both would be much easier to accomplish with our different areas of expertise combined, so a partnership should work great.
So downtown Columbia is weird. From one spot you can see 5 or 6 parking garages, all on the same street, all real close to each other, none even close to capacity. Kind of silly really. And then they want like $150/month to park there. Yeah right. Parking on the street is only $35/month. For over $100/month price difference I think I can walk a block or two. They aren't even real city blocks. They are these weak sauce wussy blocks. Tiny. And half of downtown is made up of churches. I'd say downtown consists of:
- 40% church
- 40% parking garage
- 15% food
- 5% office
I don't know how it finances itself. I guess the food industry is what keeps it going. Or the churches. Maybe the city makes everyone pay tithing or something. I don't know.
Anyways, I should probably go to bed or something. I'm pretty tired. And I have to sleep in tomorrow, and you know how exhausting that can be. So goodnight.
One comment
Glad to hear you got the job. Being from Columbia, I defintely have to agree with the percentages you have given there for church/parking, etc. And you can mark it as a fair certainty, the Southern Baptist Convention tithing intake is what keeps that town running; that and the percentage of government welfare streaming in for those living below the poverty level who continue to procreate and cruise around town all day in Cadillacs with the full gold package. Uh oh, I think my redneck side might start to show now. Anyway, I know you will be shocked if you read the MySpace. And thanks for letting me steal pics from your site; it is out of respect that I make it a point to mention who I am referring to in each photo. Didn't want to embarrass you ;) Don't worry, your secrets are safe with me. You can spread mine around if ya like.
Seriously though, I wish ya all the best at the new job! Do I need to send a breadmaker down to ya?

Motivation for this work includes observations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory of a correlation between laser damage thresholds and both the absorption and the nodular-defect density of coatings. Activated oxygen is used to increase the metal-oxidation kinetics at the coated surface during electron-beam deposition. A series of hafnia layers are made with various conditions: two μ-wave configuations, two sources (hafnium and hafnia), and two reactive oxygen pressures. Laser damage thresholds (1064-nm, 10-ns pulses), absorption (at 511 nm), and nodular-defect densities from these coatings are reported. The damage thresholds are observed to increase as the absorption of the coatings decreases. However, no significant increase in damage thresholds are observed with the coatings made from a low nodular-defect density source material (hafnium). Hafnia coatings can be made from hafnium sources that have lower nodular-defect densities, lower absorption, and damage thresholds that are comparable with coatings made from a conventional hafnia source.

Casualty: "Connie is still a ball-breaker" – Amanda Mealing interview
"Her entire focus is on getting the leadership of the ED. She wants to take over and for it to be her department," reveals the actress
Get set for a power struggle in the ED this Saturday as former Holby City surgeon Connie Beauchamp arrives on Casualty to lock horns with trauma lead Zoe Hanna. So is Connie still as ruthless as ever? And who exactly is in the firing line? Actress Amanda Mealing reveals all:
Do you think that it's still rare to see powerful, independent female characters like Connie on TV?
Very much so, unfortunately. When women are involved in a story, they are usually the wife, the mistress, the mother or the lover. They are attached to a man and it's often his story and she's just a part of it. So to have someone like Connie, who is a very prominent and dominant woman in a man's world, is a lovely thing.
So, is Connie still a ball-breaker?
Yes, absolutely. She's still a ball-breaker and she doesn't suffer fools. That's the essence of Connie. She's not interested in making friends – she just wants what's best for her and her team. She doesn't take orders and she doesn't do what she's told. Because Connie always knows best. So all that causes a bit of tension, but she's coming in to learn every possible aspect of the emergency department.
Who's in the firing line?
Well, immediately, Zoe and Connie don't get on. Zoe is very lackadaisical in her leadership, which is the antithesis of how Connie does things. So there's immediate friction. Connie's entire focus is on getting the leadership of the ED. She wants to take over and for it to be her department.
What's her opening scene like?
We see a taxi door opening and a very expensive Christian Louboutin shoe coming out. So that's Connie arriving. And then she just struts through the corridors at the hospital cursing everyone.
Do you ever channel Connie in real life? I imagine it must be quite tempting…
Oh goodness, you'd think so, but no. I know she can be intimidating because Sunetra Sarker [who plays Zoe] and I were doing a scene where Connie is really laying in to Zoe. It's a major fall out. And after the take, Sunetra said, "Oh my god, you really scared me". But can I get my children to pick up their toys? No!
When you left Holby City in 2010, you said you were leaving on a high and that you didn't want to see Connie diminished – so why return now?
I can promise you that there have been daily calls on Twitter for Connie to come back. And this is three years after she went! It would have been difficult for her to return to Holby City because it would have been the same setting and dynamic. But we can do different things with her now that she's in Casualty. And I do genuinely love her. She's great fun to play.
Is she an easy character to slip back into?
Before I started filming, I was pacing around my kitchen trying to say the lines and thinking that I'd forgotten how to do her. But once I got the shoes on and was back in situ around all that medical equipment, it all came back very quickly.
Is the filming schedule hectic on Casualty?
Yes, but I have made it worse for myself. As well as the 12-hour filming days, I'm also training to do the London Marathon and studying for a psychology degree. It's quite ridiculous. A couple of the girls on the cast call me Wonder Woman. I call myself Wonder Why Woman.
So would you like to practice psychology in the future?
I would. I've been acting long enough to know that it doesn't last forever. So if the acting game no longer wants me, then I really would like to go into psychology. I think I have a natural empathy, which is half the job. And I don't think it's that far removed from my work. As an actor, I have to look at a script and work out why a person would do what they do and say what they say. So it's almost like building a psychological profile.
Have you and your family relocated to Cardiff for Casualty?
Yes, we have. I initially said no to returning – the reason I left Holby City was because I was commuting all the time and missing my family. But, this time, we thought it'd be a great adventure if we moved. And we absolutely love it. I adore Wales, I get to do what I love and go home at the end of the day to see my family.
Plus, it all came about at an auspicious time. One of my boys [Mealing has two children: Milo, 14 and Otis, 11] was about to start his GCSE coursework and the other had just moved from junior school. So this was the only time we could make the move without it being too disruptive. All that's left now is for Connie to be well received and I'll have done my job.
Looking back to when you were on Grange Hill [Mealing played schoolgirl Tracy Edwards in 1980], did you ever think you'd still be acting over 30 years later?
Any actor, no matter what age they start, has dreams and visions of it being a long career. But I've honestly had an incredible time. I wouldn't say lucky; I don't believe in luck. It's been a lot of hard work and determination and perseverance. It hasn't always gone my way, but I've kept going at it. What has happened so far has been amazing and, without doubt, Connie has been the highlight of it.
Casualty is on Saturday 29 March at 9.20pm on BBC1 and you can see a behind-the-scenes peek below:

"…children get older. I'm getting older, too." ~Fleetwood Mac
Well, time marches on and we age.
I notice a few more aches and pains over the recent years, and I am now like those 'older people' I used to make fun of when I was a teenager: I can tell by my body when the weather is going to change. Karma's a b****, no?
Although I can kick butt on the Spinner bike still and swing kettlebells like a champion, when I sit too long in front of my computer I walk all hunch-backed when I first stand up from the chair. I like to joke, "I'm a fitness pro" as I hobble into the other room, waiting for my body to return to normal. Ah the joys of getting older.
More recently I have noticed another change: I am trying some new things and foods that I never would have considered before.
As I realize that I am closer to 50 than 40(!) I am trying to feed my body more of what it needs rather than more of what my mouth wants
Not all the time, of course, but more and more often (this girl does like her sweets).
I never thought, for example, that I would ever use almond milk instead of regular milk (80% of the time). I actually make vegetable smoothies now. (Remember, for most of my life I was a vegetarian who didn't eat vegetables, he he.) When I am feeling tired, I stop to think about whether I should eat a piece of fruit paired with a protein, or a brownie. Mostly I will pick the healthier option, though sometimes the brownie still wins.
The other day I had movie theater popcorn and a full fat soft serve ice cream cone, so the next day I had lots of lean protein, veggies and another one of those vegetable smoothies (unsweetened almond milk, kale, spinach, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/2 scoop 100% egg white protein powder, crushed ice and a few frozen berries).
I am starting to imagine now what's going on inside my body when I eat certain foods
When I eat cookies and pastries, can I really hear my body screaming while trying to process all that sugar (or was that my imagination)? When I don't drink enough water, can I really feel my cells whining from lack of hydration (or is it guilt speaking)? When I eat a balanced meal with fresh vegetables and protein, does my body really give that sigh of relief (or is my mind playing tricks on me)? It doesn't really matter as long as I am aware of what I am doing to this body of mine…good or bad.
Aging is inevitable, but we can all small take steps to better our health. There's nothing wrong with an occasional treat, but giving your body lots of good things might help it last longer.
Aim for balance. You don't want to be older and bedridden, but you also don't want to be older and never having enjoyed life. Right?

Zirkin Receives Andrology Distinguished Service Award
Barry Zirkin, PhD, professor in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Society of Andrology (ASA). For the last 35 years, Zirkin has focused on the study of andrology, a branch of science concerned with the male reproductive system that encompasses basic studies of how male gametes form and function through male contraception, infertility and sexual dysfunction.
Zirkin, who served as ASA president from 2001-2002, has a long-standing interest in understanding how Leydig cells, the testosterone-producing cells of the mammalian testis, age. Current studies are designed to characterize the Leydig cell deficits that result in the reduced production of testosterone that occurs with aging and to understand the mechanisms by which this occurs as well as its consequences. A second research focus is on the endocrine and molecular regulation of mammalian sperm formation. The studies are being conducted both in man and in an animal model (rat), and are designed to understand the role of testosterone in human male infertility and in male hormonal contraception. A third focus is on the effects of fetal exposure to environmental toxicants, particularly phthalates, on male reproductive tract structure and function.
Terry Brown, PhD, also a professor in the Bloomberg School's Department of BMB and president-elect of the ASA, was among those who nominated Zirkin for this honor. He noted that Zirkin's "inspiration has led many others in the Society to achieve success for the overall benefit of the Society." Brown also mentioned the large number of junior scientists, students and ASA Young Andrologist Award recipients that Zirkin has mentored.
Founded in 1975, the ASA has over 775 members from all over the world whose specialty fields include endocrinology, molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, urology, gynecology/ obstetrics, animal science and reproductive technologies. It is a unique partnership of scientists and clinicians. The Society exists to promote scientific interchange and knowledge of the male reproductive system. The Distinguished Service Award is given annually to recognize an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the American Society of Andrology.Public Affairs media contacts for the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: Kenna Lowe or Tim Parsons at 410-955-6878 or email@example.com.
