Hahn's Peak Roadhouse Clark Impressive 5 Star Review by j s.
(970) 879-4404 Hahn's Peak Roadhouse Clark reviews
Excellent Rating
My wife I did their 2 hour snowmobile guided tour. Josh was our guide and did an excellent job. It was our first time to snowmobile so he kept us safe and taught us how to do it. We did about 45 minutes on the trail then 30 minutes of play in an open meadow. We then finished with another 45 minutes on the trail. The setting and scenery is amazing. The tour is in Lake Steamboat State Park. The location is about 45 minutes North of Steamboat Springs.

More about Heart of Darkness:
Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Joseph Conrad. Before its 1903 publication, it appeared as a three-part series (1899) in Blackwood's Magazine. It was classified by the Modern Library website editors as one of the 100 best novels and part of the Western canon. The story centres on Charles Marlow, who narrates most of the book. He is an Englishman who takes a foreign assignment from a Belgian trading company as a river-boat captain in Africa. Heart of Darkness exposes the dark side of European colonization while exploring the three levels of darkness that the protagonist, Marlow, encounters: the darkness of the Congo wilderness, the darkness of the Europeans' cruel treatment of the African natives, and the unfathomable darkness within every human being for committing heinous acts of evil. Although Conrad does not give the name of the river, at the time of writing the Congo Free State, the location of the large and important Congo River, was a private colony of Belgium's King Leopold II. In the story, Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver. However, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization, in a cover-up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region. (Summary adapted from from Wikipedia.org)

HEART OF DARKNESS
By Joseph Conrad
I
The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of
the sails, and was at rest. The flood had made, the wind was nearly
calm, and being bound down the river, the only thing for it was to come
to and wait for the turn of the tide.
The sea-reach of the Thames stretched before us like the beginning of
an interminable waterway. In the offing the sea and the sky were welded
together without a joint, and in the luminous space the tanned sails
of the barges drifting up with the tide seemed to stand still in red
clusters of canvas sharply peaked, with gleams of varnished sprits. A
haze rested on the low shores that ran out to sea in vanishing flatness.
The air was dark above Gravesend, and farther back still seemed
condensed into a mournful gloom, brooding motionless over the biggest,
and the greatest, town on earth.
The Director of Companies was our captain and our host. We four
affectionately watched his back as he stood in the bows looking to
seaward. On the whole river there was nothing that looked half so
nautical. He resembled a pilot, which to a seaman is trustworthiness
personified. It was difficult to realize his work was not out there in
the luminous estuary, but behind him, within the brooding gloom.

SUMMARY
=======
The Colfax massacre, or Colfax riot as the events are termed on the 1950 state historic marker, occurred on Easter Sunday, April 13, 1873, in Colfax, Louisiana, the seat of Grant Parish, when approximately 150 black men were murdered by white Southerners. The bloodiest single instance of racial carnage in the Reconstruction era, the Colfax massacre was an example of the lengths to which some opponents of Reconstruction would go to regain their accustomed authority. Among blacks, the incident was long remembered as proof that in any large confrontation, they stood at a fatal disadvantage.In the wake of the contested 1872 election for governor of Louisiana and local offices, a group of white Democrats armed with rifles and a small cannon, overpowered Republican freedmen and state militia (also black) occupying the Grant Parish courthouse in Colfax. Most of the freedmen were killed after they surrendered; nearly 50 were killed later that night after being held as prisoners for several hours. Estimates of the number of dead have varied, ranging from 62 to 153; three whites died but the number of black victims was difficult to determine because bodies had been thrown into the river or removed for burial. There were rumors of mass graves at the site.
Historian Eric Foner described the massacre as the worst instance of racial violence during Reconstruction. In Louisiana, it had the highest fatalities of any of the numerous violent events following the disputed gubernatorial contest in 1872 between Republicans and Democrats. Foner wrote, ...every election [in Louisiana] between 1868 and 1876 was marked by rampant violence and pervasive fraud. Although the Fusionist-dominated state returning board, which ruled on vote validity, initially declared John McEnery and his Democratic slate the winners, the board eventually split, with a faction declaring Republican William P. Kellogg the victor. A Republican federal judge in New Orleans ruled that the Republican-majority legislature be seated.Federal prosecution and conviction of a few perpetrators at Colfax under the Enforcement Acts was appealed to the Supreme Court. In a key case, the court ruled in United States v. Cruikshank (1876) that protections of the Fourteenth Amendment did not apply to the actions of individuals, but only to the actions of state governments. After this ruling, the federal government could no longer use the Enforcement Act of 1870 to prosecute actions by paramilitary groups such as the White League, which had chapters forming across Louisiana beginning in 1874. Intimidation and black voter suppression by such paramilitary groups were instrumental to the Democratic Party regaining political control in the state legislature by the late 1870s.
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, historians have paid renewed attention to the events at Colfax and the resulting Supreme Court case, and their meaning in American history.

Ray Tomasso: The Art of Paper
The Art of Paper with artist Ray Tomasso
Thursday, November 10, 2011, Norlin Library Commons
Tomasso's talk, The Art of Paper is a slide show presentation on the technical and cultural history of this remarkable material and its application in Tomasso's work. The presentation includes a discussion of the history of paper in the preservation and transmission of knowledge and as an industrial material of great plasticity and strength.
Two works by the artist have been purchased by the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries. The site-specific pieces, each measuring approximately 8 by 4 feet, are entitled Red Skies and Love in Spring. They are mounted on each side of the unique interior bay window on the second floor of the Norlin Library.
The site-specific pieces are included in a larger exhibition of Tomasso's recent work now on display in Norlin Library. The show, entitled The Art of Paper, features recent work by the CU alumni in the first floor southwest Stoa Gallery and second floor southwest Science Alcove Gallery. The exhibit runs through spring of 2012. A forthcoming catalog prepared in conjunction with the exhibit discusses the artist and his work from the 1970s to the present.
Tomasso's work is also currently on display in a one-man show at Vertical Arts, 690 Marketplace Plaza, Steamboat Springs
Ray Tomasso is one of an international group of fine artists who have explored handmade paper as a sculptural medium since the late 1960s. He received his MFA from CU Boulder in 1979, and has traveled the world studying paper history, materials and techniques. In Düren, Germany in 1986, he co-founded the International Association of Hand Papermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA), the world's leading organization of paper artists.
Tomasso's art is created from recycled, biodegradable and renewable plant fibers using historic European hand-papermaking techniques. The University Libraries ScriptaLab recently videotaped Tomasso in his studio demonstrating and explaining the papermaking process. One video provides a rare opportunity to view the production of handmade paper. In a second video, the artist provides additional background on papermaking history and technology. In a third, Tomasso describes his long career exploring paper as a fine art medium. The videos can be viewed at ScriptaLab.org or on this CU Boulder Libraries YouTube channel.
The exhibit and event are sponsored by the University Libraries ScriptaLab, Friends of the Libraries, UCB Graduate Committee on the Arts & Humanities, CU President's Fund for the Humanities, CU Art Museum, and the Book Arts League.
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Set in a time of oppressive colonisation, when large areas of the world were still unknown to Europe, and Africa was literally on maps and minds as a mysterious shadow, Heart of Darkness famously explores the rituals of civilisation and barbarism, and the frighteningly fine line between them.
We get the tale through a classic unreliable narrator, relating as Marlow, a ship’s captain, tells how he was sent by the Company to retrieve the wayward Kurtz, and was shaken to discover the true depths of darkness in that creature’s, and in his own, soul. Conrad based the work closely on his own terrible experience in the Congo.
This work has been reinterpreted and adapted into many modern forms, the most well known being the film Apocalypse Now.

White Fang Audiobook by Jack London | Audiobook with subtitles
White Fang by Jack LONDON
When White Fang is birthed in a cave to a wolf sire and a wolf/dog halfbreed dam, he is heir to two traditions. At first he is content to explore and learn laws of the Wild. But then his mother is caught and held by old memories of a past relationship with Man, and White Fang follows her into service with the Indians. Life among sled dogs is hardly less cruel and dangerous than living in the Wild, but brutality notches upward when his drunken master sells him to a nasty, twisted hanger-on at a riverside town of white men. He is stripped of everything soft and gentle when forced to fight to the death for a crowd of bettors.
Taming this savage spirit and reclaiming the nobility within looks impossible. Fortunately, and heart-warmingly, a man arrives in White Fang's life to try.
White Fang is often called the mirror image of Jack London's acclaimed The Call of the Wild in which a dog follows the reverse arc from tame to free. (summary by Mark)

Suspense: The King's Birthday / The Singing Walls / Marry for Murder
The program's heyday was in the early 1950s, when radio actor, producer and director Elliott Lewis took over (still during the Wilcox/Autolite run). Here the material reached new levels of sophistication. The writing was taut, and the casting, which had always been a strong point of the series (featuring such film stars as Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, Ronald Colman, Marlene Dietrich, Eve McVeagh, Lena Horne, and Cary Grant), took an unexpected turn when Lewis expanded the repertory to include many of radio's famous drama and comedy stars — often playing against type — such as Jack Benny. Jim and Marian Jordan of Fibber McGee and Molly were heard in the episode, Backseat Driver, which originally aired February 3, 1949.
The highest production values enhanced Suspense, and many of the shows retain their power to grip and entertain. At the time he took over Suspense, Lewis was familiar to radio fans for playing Frankie Remley, the wastrel guitar-playing sidekick to Phil Harris in The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. On the May 10, 1951 Suspense, Lewis reversed the roles with Death on My Hands: A bandleader (Harris) is horrified when an autograph-seeking fan accidentally shoots herself and dies in his hotel room, and a vocalist (Faye) tries to help him as the townfolk call for vigilante justice against him.
With the rise of television and the departures of Lewis and Autolite, subsequent producers (Antony Ellis, William N. Robson and others) struggled to maintain the series despite shrinking budgets, the availability of fewer name actors, and listenership decline. To save money, the program frequently used scripts first broadcast by another noteworthy CBS anthology, Escape. In addition to these tales of exotic adventure, Suspense expanded its repertoire to include more science fiction and supernatural content. By the end of its run, the series was remaking scripts from the long-canceled program The Mysterious Traveler. A time travel tale like Robert Arthur's The Man Who Went Back to Save Lincoln or a thriller about a death ray-wielding mad scientist would alternate with more run-of-the-mill crime dramas.
The final broadcasts of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and Suspense, ending at 7:00 pm Eastern Time on September 30, 1962, are often cited as the end of the Golden Age of Radio.
