    1303711286 17 Colorado mountain town is ideal setting for jazz festivalCopyright ©2010. The Associated Press. Produced by NewsOK.com all rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.  

    Evergreen, Colorado, is about 1,400 miles from new Orleans, but for three days every July, this picturesque mountain community becomes a Bourbon Street with altitude. Located 17 miles southwest and 2,000 feet above Denver, Evergreen’s mountain ambience, postcard views and daytime temperatures in the low 80s provide an ideal setting for what one national columnist called “the best jazz festival anywhere.”

    This July 29-31, the Evergreen Jazz Festival will mark its 10th year of delivering on its billing of “Big Talent, Small Venues, Great Setting” by assembling some of the top traditional jazz bands in the country for three days of world-class Dixieland, swing, blues, boogie-woogie and ragtime.It’s not only traditional jazz, but also a traditional festival, in that multiple, distinctive venues are used, with four stages going at any one time. your ticket (or “badge” in festival vernacular) allows you to move freely from venue to venue to enjoy both the music and the widely varied locations.“This is the way jazz festivals used to be,” explains founder Sterling Nelson. “Bands would perform in the fire station, Elks Lodge, public park, local bars and so on. but nowadays, most festivals take place in hotels where every room is like every other. We’re fortunate to have the range of interesting, small venues we do, including our beautiful Evergreen Lake House, the infamous Little Bear saloon, a church and yes, the Elks Lodge.”The Elks Lodge offers two decidedly different settings. The ballroom is jumping every set with jitter-buggers and fox-trotters, while out on the patio, patrons take in the fabulous sounds in an atmosphere many equate to their own backyards.“I think it’s our venues and wonderful mountain setting that make the festival so special,” says festival president Jeannie Mann. “Having great musicians is a given, and we bring in the best from new York, Chicago, new Orleans, Kansas City and the West Coast.”More than a jazz festIn addition to the jazz festival, Evergreen offers a delightful main street that features a stretch of wooden sidewalk, boutiques, galleries and an array of good restaurants. There’s also a public golf course (if you’ve never played at high altitude, you’re in for a treat), and it’s only a half-hour drive to the casinos of Black Hawk and Central City.Evergreen is also a convenient starting point for visiting attractions in the Denver area, including the U.S. Mint, Botanical Gardens, Art Museum and Coors Field, home of Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies.and because the town is just a few miles off Interstate 70, it’s easy to venture farther west to Breckenridge, Vail, Rocky Mountain National Park and the many other destinations that make the Rockies so appealing.

      Why am I being overly jealous?

       Why am I being overly jealous?

      My boyfriend recently went on a mission trip elsewhere, I could not go since I was on vacation. it seems a lot has happened on the mission trip that I was not aware of… until yesterday that is.

      He got pretty close to one of the girls (the Pastor's daughter), I saw pictures of them together quite a lot on facebook, so I asked him about them.. at first when I asked whether he liked her, he just laughed at me…so I think he is trying to hide something.

      They sang karaoke together.. and it was a love song, she kicked him into a pool because he lost a bet to her, but he also let 2 other girls push him to the pool to not show favouritism. They also sat together in one of those lawn swings that swing back and forth, but after sitting for a while, he got uncomfortable and walked off. They just seem so close, and I don't understand why he would do these things when he already has me as a girlfriend. He still messages her on facebook ( I checked, I know it's not right, but I can't help it), he told me that he still wants to help her since she said that she gets bullied in school…

      I said it's ok, but now I wonder, if he truly liked me, why would he feel the need to get so close to her. I understand that there should be bonding with each other during a missions trip, but don't you think that a guy and girl should still keep a certain distance, especially in the case where the guy has a girlfriend who easily gets jealous?

      I hate the feeling of being jealous, and I just dont know what to do. Please help and give some advice.

      Talk to him about your feelings, tell him it's not ur decision to feel the way you do, ur just feeling it, and if he avoids the conversation you have more of a reason to be suspicious call him out on his ****, don't let him get away with possibly cheating on u. hope i helped!

      No NO nO girl,,make respect urself ,,,if u are his gf, he has no bussiness helping another girl,,,forget it!!,,,he looses that chick or he looses you so ask him to make up his mind at once….and NO u r not over reacting its simple and normal is called respect for the others feelings!!!

      i dont think he has his heart on you. its not whether he should do this or do that. with a heart like that, even if he was comitted to you, he prob wont really love u

      NOT OK at all

      Dude, he's your boyfriend. That behavior is not okay. I'd tell him to knock it off.

      I don't think you're being overly jealous at all.
      He really shouldn't be doing those sorts of things with another girl without you there to know about it. And the fact that he's getting so close to this girl… well, I'd keep an eye out for it.
      Jealousy only shows love and you don't seem to be crazyily over the top, but if he insists that you ARE being too jealous, that'll be suspicous.
      I think what you should do is ask him something casual about her that you learned from the messages. if he lies, he's got something to hide and you can call him out on it. if he doesn't, then just tell him how you feel about him being so close to her.
      Whatever happens, he's your boyfriend and he chose you – you need to remind him of that.
      Hope i helped!

      From my point of view. if a guy is doing the wrong thing he will do what he can to keep it very quiet. so with posting pictures and telling you about what went on i doubt it was anything more then friendly play.. not many guys would cheat then post pictures of them self with the girls they cheated on you with.. now important before you show that you are really pissed about all this remember. if he has done nothing wrong and you cant control yourself and tear into him. he is going to be really pissed off and will resent you for it… if you dont like it you can let him know explain that you got really jealous about it and that you dont want to make him feel like he can't have any fun but that you find it hard to see him flirt with other girls.. all guys flirt with other girls from time to time.. it happens how you deal with it is what's important.. i cant give you much better advice the best way is talk to him about it..
      and this next thing all women should take note of. guys dont like a confrontation where they have to defend them self especially when they feel they have done no wrong. if you flip out they will just tell you what they think they need to to shut you up.. they will lie as much as necessary to make it stop.. if you can approach it and make a guy feel he is not going to get his head chewed off if he answers honestly then he will more then likely be honest.. but if you can't do this then expect to get the answers that will more then likely shut you up fast.. sounds mean but really no guy can be stuffed arguing with his missus.

            Liberals retain Wagga Wagga

            1302156064 89 Liberals retain Wagga Wagga

            Posted March 26, 2011 23:00:00

            The Liberals, Daryl Maguire has retained the Riverina seat of Wagga Wagga, despite a swing against him.

            As of 10:45pm (AEST) 97 percent of the vote had been counted, with mr Maguire getting 53 percent of the primary vote.

            The Independent candidate, Joe McGirr was holding just over 31 percent of the vote.

            Labor’s Glenn Elliott-Rudder had just 10 percent.

            Mr Maguire says people in regional and rural new South Wales will definitely see a change in the future.

            “It’s been 16 years of hard slog for Liberal party and National party supporters but finally we are there and we’ll be able to form government and deliver real change for the people of regional and rural NSW where I live and represent.”

            The Independent, Joe McGirr says he’s delighted with the results.

            “I believe this is the only seat in NSW where there is a swing against the Liberals, they’ve clearly had a landslide across the state, but not here, not in Wagga Wagga.”

            “That’s a big message to the Liberals, to the new government, that the people of the community here want this hospital built and they want active representation locally,” he said.

            Labor’s, Glenn Elliott-Rudder, says it’s an interesting result for the seat.

            “What we have is a situation, where the Liberal and National party have had a huge swing, a landslide victory in NSW with massive swings towards them except in the seat of Wagga Wagga.

            “We have a high profile Independent, who has actually shaved off the sitting members safe margin,” he said.

            “So I think that shows a lot for the people in this region about whether they have faith in the sitting Liberal member or not.”
