There's a machinist here in town that has a 154 that he wants to get rid of. It's a 1977 with a Woods 42 mower. It was originally used by the school for mowing. Uses no oil. Hydraulics work fine and don't leak. Mower in good condition. He fabbed a 3 pt hitch and a DB turning plow for his garden. Turf tire on back. All tires are cracked but usable. He bought a brand new set of turf tires when he got it because tires were cracked when he got it. He never replaced them because old ones worked just fine all these years. He's had it about 20 years himself. "New" tires have been stored under a leanto all those years with no sun. Of course they may show cracks when aired up, but look very good as they are.
Here's where y'all come in. I know nothing about the 154. Are they pretty reliable? I realize the engines are reliable. He wants 1200 for it. He's the friend of a friend and right now I'm the only one it's being offered to. He has offered to let me pay him as I can so I'm not going to haggle over price. Does that sound like a fair price? Thanks

What You Post May Be Used Against You
Safeguarding Your Financial Information and Identity
What You Post May Be Used Against You
Millions of Americans use social media to connect with and keep friends and families up to date. In most cases that is a wonderful thing… but your posts can also be used in a less positive way. For example, many debt collection agencies now use social media to get information about a debtor's address, employer, or recent activities. If you set your social media profiles to allow anyone to see your information or posts, what you provide can be used against you.
In fact, what you consider to be harmless could be risky behavior. Say you announce you're about to leave on vacation criminals could access that post and realize that your home will be unoccupied for days.
In short: If you aren't willing to tell everyone something, don't post about it or make sure your posts are only accessible to people you trust.

NASHVILLE -- Welcome to the Opryland Hotel, where the most common phrase -- "Meet me in the lobby" -- is followed by the most common question -- "Which lobby?"
There will be plenty of room to mingle when baseball executives begin to gather on Monday for baseball's annual Winter Meetings, which return to the Opryland for the first time since 2007.
The largest non-casino hotel in the U.S., outside of Las Vegas, could be a fitting setting for some gargantuan deals, with Zack Greinke still the best pitcher available on the free agent market and Josh Hamilton the best hitter.
The Brewers will probably be working the tiers just below those top players, though they have been doggedly linked to both this winter. General manager Doug Melvin's top two tasks are adding an established starter and rebuilding the league's worst bullpen, and he will spend his week brainstorming with his staff in the Brewers' hotel suite, meeting with representatives for free agents and with rival GMs to talk trades.
Melvin's bullpen remodel began early, when he traded a prospect for Rays right-hander Burke Badenhop, a younger, cheaper version of Kameron Loe. The Brewers still need to make multiple relief additions.
MLB.com will have it all covered, with all 30 beat reporters working the Opryland from the moment the hotel begins filling up Sunday night through the Rule 5 Draft on Thursday morning.
Besides the usual mix of news and rumors, Major League Baseball will announce a significant charitable initiative, MLB.com will hand out its Greatness in Baseball Yearly (GIBBY) Awards and baseball's managers will meet with the media to give their take on baseball's shopping season. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke's session is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT on Tuesday.
Fans are encouraged to take part by filling the comments section at Brewers.com this week with their own suggestions for getting the club back to the postseason. Should Melvin focus on starting or relief? Ryan Dempster or Edwin Jackson? How much should he be willing to spend?
Let the dealing begin.

We finally made it to spring break! Say goodbye to the bad winter weather and hello to warm sunny South Carolina skies. If you're headed down our way for spring break, we've got some great suggestions for kids to enjoy here at the resort. From golf to swimming to fishing and more, there's no time for video games or for getting bored here on Hilton Head Island.
Here's our list of top spring break activities for kids on the island:
1) Swim -- What child doesn't love to jump in the water and splash away? We figure that's probably the first thing they're going to want to do when they arrive, so we put it first on the list. Depending on the weather, if the ocean waters are a little too cool yet, hit the pool at your Hilton Head vacation rental, some of which are heated, and should be plenty warm in the sun.
2) Ride a bike – Our next suggestion that kids will love is riding their bike. We're sure they're already used to it at home and now they've got an entirely new area to explore. We recently replaced most of our bike paths, which number 5 miles within the resort alone. Instead of driving your car, ride your bike to the beach, to lunch, to golf, you name it! Get your Hilton Head bike rentals and all the gear you need at Hilton Head Outfitters.
3) Learn a new skill – Palmetto Dunes offers wonderful junior programs for both golf and tennis. Not only will kids and teens stay active and keep their minds firing, they'll come home from Hilton Head Island proud to show their friends what they've learned. Watch these fun videos about our Little Swingers golf class and junior tennis clinics.
4) Explore nature – Nature is all around you on Hilton Head Island from the moss-draped live oak trees and colorful azaleas to shore birds and plentiful fish. Rent double kayaks and put an adult with each child for a peaceful kayak through our calm 11-mile lagoon system. See who can spot the most birds!
5) Reel in a big one – We have lots of great fishing around Palmetto Dunes, including our fair share of "monster" fish. Take a Hilton Head fishing charter on our lagoon and see if you can reel in Elvis, the giant red fish, or head out into the ocean for some exciting shark fishing for the whole family.
6) Go crabbing – This one may surprise you, but crabbing in Hilton Head is one of our favorite activities for families because everyone can get involved. Our charter, the Crabber J, teaches you how to catch a crab and then awards their world-famous Crabber J T-shirt to the person who catches the most!
What do you think your kids will enjoy the most on their Hilton Head Island spring break?

Last week, the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport celebrated in high style as JetBlue landed its first planes at the airport, making the area the latest addition to the airline's routes. There will now be daily flights coming into and out of Hilton Head Island from New York's JFK and Boston Logan airports, connecting from many other cities across the country.
The addition of the airline is good news for the Lowcountry, as it adds more options for vacationers coming to the island. Already, JetBlue plans to increase the capacity of the airplanes flying into the area by 50% due to high demand, and other airlines have also lowered costs and added flights and additional seats.
On February 13, the first flights flew into the Savannah-Hilton Head International airport and the area hosted a grand celebration. Local officials and guests enjoyed blue cocktails, visits with "Forrest Gump," comments from company executives and more. Major media, including representatives from Travel + Leisure, Southern Living, New York Magazine and others flew in for the event. Take a look at our board on Pinterest chronicling the entire event.
The Savannah/Hilton Head area has invested in a marketing effort to lure Northeasterners ready for a warm weather getaway to the Lowcountry area, which includes advertising in major outlets, as well as billboards atop taxis in New York City noting "Hilton Head is in full 'swing'."
Palmetto Dunes has created a package for those looking for a great airfare rate to play world-class golf in the Lowcountry. The Blue and Greens package includes a $200 JetBlue gift card per person good toward airfare, as well as 4 days/3 nights in a resort view villa, 2 rounds of golf per person at our beautiful championship Hilton Head golf courses, 3-day Hilton Head bike rentals from Hilton Head Outfitters and 2 hours of complementary tennis court time daily at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center.
We're so excited to have JetBlue in town and hope you are, too! Be sure to check their rates before planning your next Hilton Head vacation to Palmetto Dunes.
Give us a call at 866-744-7558 to book the Blue and Greens package or for any other resort or Hilton Head vacation questions. Fly safe!

10Best readers have it right: Hilton Head Island's beaches are awesome. The travel website recently released its list of the 10Best beaches in the U.S., chosen by the readers, and Hilton Head was ranked No. 2! Vacationers ranked Hilton Head above beaches in California, Florida and Hawaii!
From sunrise yoga to bike rides at sunset and everything in between, Hilton Head beaches are the perfect place to spend a vacation. This barrier island has 12 miles of gorgeous beach, three of which are located within Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort.
If you really study the beach itself, you'll notice Hilton Head's beaches are uninterrupted and wide. In addition to soft sand, the lower part – closest to the water – is hard-packed and perfect for building sandcastles, a game of Frisbee, running, walking or riding a bike.
Palmetto Dunes takes great care of the 3 miles of pristine beaches located at the resort. We invigorated our beaches using tons of sand dredged from our 11-mile lagoon system and Shelter Cove Marina.
We also offer lots of "toys" for our guests to enjoy on the beach, including surfboards, boogie boards, bicycles and more. Also on the property is the Dunes House, a public access beach facility located midway down the 3-mile stretch of beach. It features a deck, resort beach restrooms and limited parking for resort guests.
At Palmetto Dunes, even golfers can still enjoy the beach while at play. Our Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course (one of three courses on the resort) is one of only two oceanfront holes on Hilton Head Island. Its signature hole, the par-five 10th, offers an amazing view of one of the 10Best beaches in the nation.
As you enjoy the sand and surf, there are several regulations by the town of Hilton Head to keep in mind. The following are not permitted: alcohol, glass bottles/containers, littering, fires and fireworks and shark fishing.
We also want to protect these amazing beaches, so please be careful to throw your trash away in provided receptacles and please stay away from the sand dunes and sea oats, as well as other dune flora. Remember to leave any live animals and beach fauna you find alone, which includes sand dollars, starfish and conchs. Also, please turn out your beachfront lights to help make sure the baby sea turtles make their way out to sea.
We'd love to help you plan an amazing vacation at one of the 10Best beaches in the nation, so feel free to visit our website for details on Palmetto Dunes Resort's Hilton Head vacation homes and villas, activities and amenities, or call us at (866) 744-7558.
Coming to visit us in Hilton Head for your summer vacation or a weekend getaway? Make sure you have your camera packed not only to snap pictures for future memories, but to snag yourself a Palmetto Dunes gift card.
Every week through the rest of the summer we're going to reward our loyal guests with Palmetto Dunes gift cards when you share your vacation picture with us on our various social outlets, like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
Here's all you have to do:
Where to take your pic? Here's a few of our favorite ideas to get you inspired:

How would you use your gift certificate? Let us know and start thinking now of the perfect Palmetto Dunes shot!
What does Palmetto Dunes have that other resorts don't? Three miles of sandy Hilton Head Island beach on the Atlantic Ocean and great weather that lets you take advantage of it nearly year round. We also give you plenty of ways to enjoy the beach, whether it's views from your Hilton Head vacation home or rental, dining options on the beach or activities from biking to surfing to keep you busy throughout your Hilton Head getaway.
There are plenty of access points to reach the beach, either from the residential areas as you pedal around or from our resort facilities. One of our favorite ways to enjoy—and access--the beach is the Dunes House, which is centrally located Palmetto Dunes and open to guests of the resort. In addition to casual food and drinks with one of the best dining views on the island, you'll also find restrooms and limited parking. We suggest you call the Dunes Buggy for a free ride to the Dunes House!
Biking is also another great way to enjoy the beach at Palmetto Dunes. Get some exercise and enjoy beautiful views of the ocean at the same time. Try going for a ride at sunrise or sunset for a particularly inspiring experience. If you don't want to lug your bikes with you down to Hilton Head, you can rent them from Hilton Head Outfitters within the resort. They'll have them delivered direct to your home and villa so they're ready to ride as soon as you arrive. Hilton Head Outfitters offers a range of bikes and options, and we'd suggest trying their fat tire bikes which are designed for easier beach riding.
At Palmetto Dunes, you can also surf and fish at the beach. We offer surfing classes at our Hilton Head Surf School and surf board rentals from Hilton Head Outfitters. We also have everything a fisherman needs for a great day of fishing. Rent your rod and reel online and head into the Outfitters store just inside the resort to pick up bait or anything else you might need before you head out.
Or go for a more relaxed approach. Kick back, enjoy the sounds of the ocean and send the kids out to build a sand castle, but keeping a close eye on them, of course. Check out a few tips for a safe trip to the beach. Beach games are also lots of fun and we have some great beach game suggestions to keep the whole family entertained.
Whether you'd rather dash into the waves, laze in the sand or cruise along the shore on a beach bike, when it comes to the beach at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort we think it's pretty much perfect.
The people of Hilton Head have worked hard to preserve the beautiful beaches and landscape and it's apparent in the amount of wildlife that inhabit our Island. From the ocean to the lagoon to the marsh, there are amazing creatures that love Hilton Head as much as we do! Let us give you a sneak peek into some of the wildlife you could come across on your next vacation.
Birds Galore
When you get off your plane or out of your car, look to the sky and you're sure to see birds everywhere. From seagulls to the beautiful ibis, Hilton Head is full of winged friends. Shelter Cove Harbour and other piers will have brown pelicans waiting to glide above the water looking for a small fish dinner. While sun tanning or playing on the beach, you're likely to see large birds like ospreys or even bald eagles.
Spot a Gator, But Leave Him Alone
One of the beset known reptiles on Hilton Head is the alligator. They mainly live within lagoon systems so we've seen quite a few here at Palmetto Dunes, but if you leave them alone, they won't bother you. You might even see one lazing in the sun off the side of one of our golf courses.
A Rainbow of Fish
The lagoon is also full of large, beautiful fish, such as red fish, trout, bluefish, black drum, flounder and even tarpon. The smooth, calm waters of the lagoon system make fishing and crabbing excursions fun and successful at the same time.
The Friendly Dolphin
Head into the big water on one of our dolphin cruises to catch a glimpse of their majestic beauty. Many of our dolphins are very people friendly and may swim alongside the boat or come up to the boat for a bite to eat. We've even heard tales of dolphins coming right up to people in our marsh creeks. You could swim with dolphins without even planning it! But always remember, they are wild animals.
Turtles and More
During the spring and early summer, if you walk the beach at night you might see a loggerhead momma turtle waddling up to the dunes creating a nest for her babies. Hilton Head has laws to protect the little guys and to make sure they have a safe hatching season and can make it to the ocean.
There are plenty more animals on the Island, like deer, frogs, toads and plenty of crustaceans. So the next time you're here, take a minute to look around you and enjoy all the wildlife surrounding you on our beautiful island.
From the golf course to where to eat and drink we've compiled tips and information from the staff at Palmetto Dunes to help you get the most out of your visit to our resort.
If you've never stayed with us before, feel free to ask us any questions you have by emailing email@example.com or you can "like" us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and we'll answer your questions there.
Do you have a great tip for visiting Palmetto Dunes?
We've heard from so many of you who are already counting down the days, weeks or months until you hit the beaches here in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Spring break is right around the corner for most and summer will be right behind! We're getting just as pumped as y'all about the beach season and to get you even more in the mood, we've come up with a list of must-do activities while you're visiting us at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort.
One of the most beloved Palmetto Dunes locations, The Dunes House, plans to re-open in late February, just in time to feed the spring breakers and summer vacationers the best fish tacos and drinks around with an unbeatable oceanfront view.
March not only brings us the spring breakers but also the Tennis Welcome Exhibition and Happy Hour and Demo Days. Every Monday night at 5:30 p.m., we get our employees and guests together to enjoy cocktails and lemonade while watching our tennis pros play on Centre Court. If you really enjoy tennis, then our Tuesday 2 p.m. Demo Days is the perfect way to test the newest equipment and ask our pros any technical questions you may have.
Summertime brings lots of activities unique to Palmetto Dunes like stand up paddle boarding and our amazing surf school. Learning to paddle board can be tough in the ocean waves so we provide lessons on our calm 11-mile lagoon system!
Our surf school has taught tons of people to hang-10 over the past few years and it's back this year to teach a whole new crew. Even if you've never even attempted to stand on a board, our instructors will have you surfing before you know it. Just check out these young surfers.
Summer wouldn't be complete without HarbourFest at Shelter Cove Harbour and nightly performances by Shannon Tanner, a Hilton Head summer tradition that families return to enjoy year after year.
We can't wait to see you all this year and hope you'll enjoy all the Palmetto Dunes classics, while also trying a new activity or event! Oh, and you might have so much fun that you see fireworks!
When most people think about Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort they think about the beautiful beaches, three amazing golf courses, miles of paved bike paths and exceptional tennis. While we're incredibly proud to be known for all of these activities, we also want you to take advantage of our many sailboat charters out of Shelter Cove Harbour just across the road. We have two exquisite sailboats and three fun filled cruises that will please the whole family.
The Schooner "Welcome" offers a variety of options, including a relaxing sunset cocktail and hors d'oeuvres cruise ideal for catching the marsh breeze and enjoying the amazing views of Hilton Head. For those interested in the wildlife surrounding our island, the Eco Cruise is for you. Hitting the seas each afternoon allows you to encounter a wide variety of marine wildlife like sea turtles, marsh birds and majestic dolphins. Finally, the "Welcome" provides a fun-filled family experience with the Pirates Adventure Cruise. Sail the high seas with a pirate as your guide while learning to hoist the sails and steer the ship. Ahoy matey, it's a good time indeed!
If you're looking for a more private sailboat charter, we have the smaller 40-foot "Special-K". Take your time sailing around Hilton Head Island with an experienced captain and crew. Whether you're interested in learning more about how to sail or you want to surprise your spouse with a romantic private ride, the "Special-K" is a great choice.
The next time you're in Hilton Head consider taking an adventure to the high seas and come aboard one of our fabulous sailboat charters!
January is the month where many Americans are gung-ho with their list of New Year's resolutions. Lots of people are hitting the gym and checking out the health food isles at the grocery store, but we've also heard many people say they also resolve to spend more time with family. If you've been trying to get your immediate, or extended, family together for a while or want to plan a family reunion, why get the gang together at Palmetto Dunes?
Between our beautiful homes and villas, three world-renowned golf courses, tennis, bikes, fishing, shopping and the beach, every person in your family will be happy and entertained. What many people don't realize when deciding where to stay Hilton Head is that when you stay with Palmetto Dunes, you get the best deals available on all the activities at the resort, as well as lagoon activities and boat charters out of Shelter Cove Harbour. You also get two free hours of tennis time each day!
Shelter Cove Harbour, just across the road from the resort, is also a great place to take the fam, because there are plentiful restaurants to enjoy each night and a variety of shops to peruse. Our group planners can even help create a special dinner at The Dunes House or a more formal party to celebrate your family reunion.
So, ring up your family, start matching up calendars and settle on a date. Then give us a ring at 866-744-7558 or click here and we'll handle the rest.
We hope to see your whole gang here soon!
So you've set the date, picked the location and asked your friends to be in your wedding party but you just can't ask the boss for an extra week off for your honeymoon quite yet.
The honeymoon is the icing on your wedded bliss cake but for many it's extremely challenging to plan more time off after the wedding planning week amidst work or school schedules. That's why we've created the Mini Moon Package.
This mini vacation after your nuptials will give you the much needed breather you need but will allow you to go back to work or school without taking too many extra PTO days! This package is also ideal for those looking for a long weekend getaway to rekindle the flames for Valentine's Day with all the spa, food and romance you could want.
The Mini Moon package includes:
Be bold and follow in the footsteps of William and Kate and Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries (except try to stay married longer than 72 days) and try our new Mini Moon. Call us at 866-744-7558 for more information and make sure to visit us at www.palmettodunes.com .
Valentine's Day is right around the corner so why not get your love something different this year? Forget the extravagant floral arrangements, the chocolate and stuffed animals and think about a romantic retreat to Hilton Head, South Carolina. We've worked out an amazing package for all the love birds out there and it's the perfect getaway for Valentine's Day.
This package includes:
You and your honey will be relaxed, rejuvenated and in love with the fact that you can do all these activities without ever leaving our resort. This romantic package provides relaxation, adventure and wonderful accommodations. We look forward to making your Valentine's Day the best it's ever been!
We thought it would be fun to share a little bit of history about the resort that so many of you call home, home away from home or vacation heaven.
It all started for Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort back in 1967 with the first major project being the development of the lagoon system. One year later, in 1968, development began on our championship Robert Trent Jones golf course
The early 70's brought the addition of the Inn Villas, Beach Villas, Water Oak Villas, the Chimney Cove development and the groundbreaking of the Hyatt Hotel. In 1973, the Fazio course was started and the Jones pro shop was expanded. The following year our wonderful Tennis Center was completed and the end of the 70's allowed us to finish Ocean Cove Villas, Turnberry Village and the Fazio Tennis Courts. We ended the decade with the acquisition by Greenwood Development Corporation.
The 80's brought more growth in our accommodation arena by adding Captain's Walk, Captain's Cove, St. Andrew's Common and more. In 1980 construction began on Shelter Cove Marina, making it an exciting year for us! Three years later came the dedication of Shelter Cove Harbour and the popular King Neptune sundial, the largest working figurative sundial in the world... In 1986, the Arthur Hills Course opened, completing our acclaimed, award-winning golf trifecta.
Over the past ten years, the resort built a new Tennis Center in 2001, and in 2002, the Robert Trent Jones course was completely renovated.
Look how far we've come since 1967! Who knows what will be in our future, but we look forward to all the great things to come and providing our guests with more activities than ever.
While winter may slow down most of the country, visitors to Hilton Head can stay active no matter the time of year. With daytime temperatures averaging between 50-60 degrees during the winter, it's great weather to get outside and play a round of golf with us here at Palmetto Dunes.
This winter we're offering two new golf packages and programs that will not only help improve your game but will bring a little piece of Canada to our Island.
If you're looking to improve your golf game while the weather is milder, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy is offering a new "Five Ways to Better Golf" assessment and coaching package. Led by Doug Weaver, Palmetto Dunes' director of golf instruction, guests receive assessments of the following five systems of their golf game: mental, full swing technical, short game technical, equipment and fitness.
Hailing from Granby, Quebec, Michel Dion, joins our golf team this winter to help with instruction. Winter brings many of our Canadian golfers to Hilton Head and Dion's experience and French-speaking abilities will bring a whole new dynamic to Palmetto Dunes.
Spend your winter with us improving every aspect of your golf game, and we'll have you looking like a star in time for spring and summer!
You work hard to stay in shape when you're at home, and you certainly don't want to let all that hard work go to waste by stopping on vacation. No worries. When you come to Palmetto Dunes, we've got you covered. Hilton Head Island is the perfect place to run, bike or even try something new, like beachfront yoga! Here are some options to help you return with the same, or better, beach bod that you arrived with:
Hilton Head Outfitters offers a wide variety of bicycles to rent. Guests can bike through the smooth streets, which are perfect for a calm, breezy ride. If you're up for more of a challenge, try a vigorous ride on the beach, which can burn up to 500 calories an hour! Another Palmetto Dunes activity that really gets the blood flowing is Cardio Tennis!
If you are a yoga enthusiast, you've got plenty to choose from. With many yoga studios around the island, you're sure to find the right fit! Our favorite is oceanfront yoga. What could be a better workout than practicing poses with the waves crashing serenely in the background? Beach Yoga is available in front of the Dunes House on Palmetto Dunes taught by Pamela Eaton.
If you're interested in visiting a more traditional gym, there are several on the island to try. We have an Anytime Fitness, Beach City Health and Fitness and Players Club Fitness Center to name a few. But, if you're looking for an awesome challenge we suggest trying CrossFit. Our own tennis maven, Jackie, attends each morning and highly recommends it!
So whether you're into tennis, biking, running or lifting here in Hilton Head Island, we've got all you need to get your sweat on! Let us know if you try any of our suggestions and how they "work out".
Are your kids dreaming of their spring or summer spent at Palmetto Dunes? Reading a book about the beach is a great way to bring those memories to mind, while encouraging a love of reading at the same time.
Head to the library or the bookstore and turn it into a fun outing as you look for your "beach book." Here are a few children's books set at the beach that we highly recommend.
So cozy up with your little ones this fall and dream of days at beach. Happy reading!

Got a hankering for a Louisiana PoBoy or some authentic Cajun gumbo? Hilton Head Island may not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of these down-home delicacies; however, this month, The Island Recreation Association will be bringing the Bayou to us!
Starting at 11 a.m. on October 15, Shelter Cove Community Park will turn into Bourbon Street for the annual Cajun Food Festival. The fest is chock full of fun for the whole family. There will be Cajun cuisine sure to please everyone from fried oysters to red beans and rice.
Keep your children happy by letting them hit the "Kid's Zone", complete with moon bounces, arts and crafts. While the kids are having a blast, don't forget to visit the Outdoor Business Expo, which is new to this year's festival. During the Expo, businesses from around the area will be showcasing new products and services throughout the day.
Proceeds from the Cajun Food Festival will benefit the Island Recreation Association's Scholarship Fund, which assures that every child, regardless of financial hardship, will be able to participate in recreation. Good food, good people and a good cause? What more reason is there to check out this year's Cajun Food Festival? For more information visit www.islandreccenter.org or call (843) 681-7273. We hope to see you at our version of the Bayou!
Vacations used to be a time to turn off your phones and completely get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. These days, it's tough to get away without turning off your smart phone!
Our advice: Put your phone on silent but keep it charged just enough to take advantage of these apps to make your Hilton Head vacation more interesting, informative and less expensive!
So on your next adventure to Hilton Head keep your phone on and connect with us to create your perfect trip! We hope to see you soon.
Have you ever been walking the beaches here in Hilton Head and seen some amazing sandcastles? We've seen some masterpieces grace our sand, for sure, and we want to share some sandcastle building tips with you! And hey, if you want to start building before you get to the beach, we'll give you some at-home ideas too!
The Tools You'll Need: A shovel with a long handle, a bucket, a few carving tools like a spoon, a plastic knife and a fork!
Location, Location, Location: Make sure not to start your sandcastle too close to the shoreline or all your work will be destroyed by the incoming tide! Keep in mind that you'll need water to hold your castle together so don't go too far from the ocean unless you want a good workout.
Get to Digging and Building: Start by digging a hole far enough down to reach the water table (where the sand is damp). Using very wet sand and your hands, create a base for your castle. Stack sand blocks on top of one another until you get your sandcastle the height and width you want.
Decoration Time: After you've built the base, it's time for the fun part. You can use the knife to chisel in a brick pattern and the spoon to scoop out openings for a door. Another cool technique is to make a "drizzle" roof by taking super wet sand into your hand, hold your hand over the desired location and let the sand drip down. You can also use coral, shells and other washed up items to jazz up your creation!
So get to building and share your castle pictures with us on Facebook!
What does Labor Day mean to you? Is it the official end of summer, a day off work, the last day to wear white or the beginning of college and NFL football season? Well, here at Palmetto Dunes it means one last chance at a summer getaway for the family. Labor Day weekend is full of fun activities here at the resort, specially crafted with your entire family in mind.
This Labor Day treat your loved ones to learning a new skill or polishing up an existing one. How about three days of our Family Golf School? Golf is a timeless skill to learn, and one of your kids will thank you for sooner or later. The program was designed by our resident golf pro and former PGA tour professional Doug Weaver. We also have great opportunities to practice your tennis skills with our junior and adult clinics.
After all that practice, it might just be nice to spend this last weekend of fun and summer biking or kayaking our 11-mile lagoon system. Sometimes just telling you how fun our activities are just isn't enough, you have to see it yourself! Check out this video highlighting the adventurous family fun here at Palmetto Dunes!
Don't you just want to hop in the car now and head our way? We understand… Come on down!
If your kids are looking to try something new and exciting this summer then head down to Hilton Head Outfitters and sign up for our surf camp! The classes are 90 minutes long and available for all ages. Captain Byron Sewell gives private attention to all attendees and brings his radical experience to the class!
Captain Byron was born on Hilton Head Island and has been a competitive surfer for 12 years. He has 5 State Championship titles and has even won an East Coast Championship. When he's not in Hilton Head helping your child catch a wave, you can find him either in Hawaii or in Costa Rica from November through May running a surfing adventure guide.
Every class starts with a 10-minute yoga stretch to get everyone loose and in the right frame of mind. All classes are full of laughter and he ends each session with a watermelon seed spitting contest! So get your children out there for fun in the surf so they can tell everyone they've been surfing in Hilton Head. Cowabunga dudes!
There's no doubt that kids of all ages (including adults!) love Shannon Tanner, a longtime fixture at Harbourfest in Shelter Cove Harbour, our hallmark event of the year. Tourists and locals come from near and far to do the "crazy hair dance" and see Shannon don his trademark beanie each summer night while singing song after family-friendly song. But one recent visitor had an even more memorable experience than most: bonding with his daughter in a moment that he'll never forget. This father wrote us to tell us how his 8-year-old daughter was upset that she was missing her school's father/daughter dance because of their recent Hilton Head vacation. A little sad, she and her family headed out to Harbourfest and found themselves along with many families enjoying the fun that is Shannon Tanner. He writes: "It was about that time in the show where you asked the little girls to grab their dads for a song you were about to do. For the first time in the day she got excited and grabbed my hand and dragged me up to dance with her. You then sang a song I had never heard before and it was a moment in my life that I will never forget. It was Cinderella. As I listened to the words, I related to the song and couldn't hold back my emotions as I held my little girl while we danced together." Later that night, she told him she was so happy because she got to dance with her dad after all. "I melted right then and there," said the dad. "I have since downloaded the song from iTunes and can't listen to [it] without remembering that night and getting emotional." We're so glad that this family will have happy memories of Shelter Cove, Palmetto Dunes and Hilton Head forever, and we hope you'll come make your own memories, as well.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
The following column is satire and intended for entertainment purposes.
(RNN) - Week 5, and what a week it was for Alabama. Is Nick $aban leaving or staying? Has Texas contacted him or not? Why would he go? Why would he stay?
What does he eat for breakfast? Two Little Debbie snack cakes, every single day? How weird is he, anyway? Why does anyone care?
This whole $aban-to-Texas thing and $aban himself have been analyzed more than a Stanley Kubrick film, and The Line King is, quite frankly, tired of it.
Focus, people!
The Line King views college football teams with the sort of dispassion that commodities brokers regard pork bellies and orange juice futures. The Line King is focused, and just look at his ROI:
Games of Sept. 28
South Carolina @ UCF +7.5: UCF Check List…stomp Akron, check; stomp FIU, check; stomp Penn State, check…wait, what? Pundits say never go against The Visor so The Line King will.
South Alabama @ Tennessee -19: Really, just 19 points against a program that is about three weeks old? How far have the Vols fallen? With a win, this gives Tennessee the inside edge for their first Sun Belt Conference title and a spot in the R+L Carriers Bowl.
LSU @ Georgia -3: In the ultimate contrarian play, take the Hedges over the Bayou. It's the antithesis of the classic "sandwich" game. The Dawgs laid an egg last week and have a cream-puff schedule from here on out; and please, all of you Tennessee fans don't say a thing.
Mississippi @ Alabama -16.5: Again, classic contrarian play. Everyone loves Hugh Freezer, and the Black Bear is all giddy about returning to the Cotton Bowl. No one, and I mean no one, outside of the 205, 334 and 251 area codes likes Bammer, so take the Tide.
Florida @ Kentucky +14.5: At some point Kentucky has to cover against an $EC team, right?
FAU @ Rice -13.5: Rice gets a second chance after the greatest onside kick ever.
Texas A&M @ Arkansas +3: Arkansas' loss to Rutgers last week fully debunked the theory that $EC teams are manned by superior human beings. Mike $live sent out his official warning letter to the Hogs.
Arkansas St. @ Missouri -21.5: Missouri proved last week it can pretend to be an $EC team when the $live-heat is on to perform.
UAB @ Vanderbilt -19.5: Although UA's B team is still in the running for the FCS playoffs, The Line King will sit with the Vandy fan this weekend. Goodness knows, he needs some moral support having gone 1-3 against the number so far this season.
Wyoming @ Texas State +10.5: Ironically, Texas State is coached by former Bammer coach Dennis Franchione (remember those two years?), who resigned from Bammer for Texas A&M… hmmmm.

AUSTIN, TX (RNN) - The Austin Statesman walked back an earlier report that embattled Texas football coach Mack Brown would meet with school officials about his future Thursday night. The meeting will be Friday, the newspaper's website is now reporting.
Brown has already discussed resigning with officials earlier this week, according to an earlier Statesman story by University of Texas sports beat writer Brian Davis.
If Brown does step down, all eyes will turn to Alabama and Nick Saban, who has been rumored to be the school's top target for Brown's job for months.
Earlier Thursday, Brown told reporters at a news conference in San Antonio that he would meet with university president Bill Powers and new athletic director Steve Patterson to discuss the future of Longhorns football. Brown's team, which finished a disappointing 8-4, will play Oregon in the Alamo Bowl there on Dec. 30.
Saban reportedly has been offered a contract extension at Alabama that would pay him $7 million a year. According to national ESPN radio host Paul Finebaum, the offer has been on Saban's desk since last Friday.
The Statesman reported that after the San Antonio news conference, billionaire UT booster Red McCombs said money would be no object if the Longhorns wanted Saban.
"Hell, all the money that's not in the Vatican is up at UT. If that's a problem, then I'm a part of the problem," he said.

Get your life back. Find out if Balloon Sinuplasty is right for you.
More than 37 million Americans suffer with the headaches, congestion, fatigue and other symptoms of sinusitis each year. Traditionally patients are treated with medical therapies such as antibiotics and topical nasal steroids, or conventional sinus surgery that requires bone and tissue removal to open blocked passageways. Now there is a less invasive option known as balloon sinuplasty. The procedure involves inserting a small, flexible balloon catheter through a nostril into the blocked sinus passageway where it is inflated to help restore normal sinus drainage.

The balloting continues until 8 p.m. ET Wednesday in the Ameriquest All-Star Final Vote, your chance to select one nominee from each league to go to Houston, for the July 13 All-Star Game, to fill each league's 32nd and final roster spot.
Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez and Phillies outfielder Bobby Abreu were in a virtual dead heat for first place in the National League after two days of balloting, while Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui was leading White Sox teammates Frank Thomas and Paul Konerko in the American League.
The AL's other nominees are Twins outfielder Lew Ford and Indians DH/first baseman Travis Hafner, while Diamondbacks outfielder Steve Finley, Pirates catcher Jason Kendall and Marlins outfielder Juan Pierre round out the NL.
More than five million votes already had been submitted exclusively through MLB.com and its 30 official club sites, and recent history indicates that returning to the site and voting for the two most deserving players is a good idea. It was just last week that 11th-hour online votes made their mark on the 2004 All-Star Game, pushing Edgar Renteria of St. Louis past Houston's Adam Everett into the NL starting shortstop position and bumping Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki past Matsui into the AL starting outfield.
The 10 players' clubs have been running the same kind of grass-roots campaigns that seemed to help make a difference in the two previous Final Vote programs. At Pierre's home, Pro Player Stadium, large "Vote for Pierre" fliers are being handed out to fans, and the Marlins Mermaids are walking through the stadium carrying placards and reminding people to log on and vote.
"I was joking about it with him," said Pierre's teammate, Dontrelle Willis, who went to the All-Star Game a year ago as a rookie. "I said, 'I'd get a sign, pin it to my jersey and walk around the concourse.' I'll do it. He just doesn't realize how big it is. How big an honor it is to be one of the best in this great game."
The Phillies have backed Abreu's candidacy with stadium and on-air announcements, as well as radio appearances, and they even have been in touch with contacts in Abreu's native Venezuela to get out the vote there. Through Monday, Abreu was hitting .305 with 17 homers, 68 runs, 57 RBIs and 17 stolen bases, and he was named the NL Player of the Week for the week of June 28-July 4.
"Bobby has been a huge part of our success," Phillies general manager Ed Wade said. "He's the most underrated player in the game today. I've felt Bobby deserved to be an All-Star for a long time now. It's good that he's finally getting the recognition that he deserves. It's also about time he deserves to be talked about in the current context as an All-Star."
Abreu said he would love to make the team, but he won't vote for himself. He has plenty of friends who have done that for him, like Phillies broadcasters Larry Andersen and Scott Graham, who both estimated they had voted at least 20 times. "They're going to have to stop me," Graham said.
There's no need for anyone to stop. The votes will come in at a frenzied pace right up until the 8 p.m. deadline, and the 32nd men will be announced on MLB.com one hour later.
Kendall, hoping to join Boston's Jason Varitek (2003) as the second catcher to be chosen with the Final Vote, played it low-key Tuesday and said he had not talked to any teammates or friends who might have voted for him. He was playing in Florida -- against Pierre's team. While their main focus was on the Marlins' contest against the Pirates, everyone else was enjoying the competition within the competition.
"You want to be part of it," Kendall said. "But it's nothing you have any control over. Plus I've got some other things to worry about -- the Marlins have a good lineup over there."
Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon said he was not sure how much support Kendall is getting, but he knows one thing: "My son (16-year-old Bo McClendon) voted for him."
Thomas is on the AL Final Vote ballot for the second year in a row, and hoping to end a long All-Star hiatus. White Sox fans, though, have to decide between him and Konerko. The question is whether one of them -- or Ford or Hafner -- can make a late run to overtake Matsui, who is sure to continue receiving good online support not only from Yankee fans in the U.S., but also those from his native Japan.
"If I'm chosen, I'd be honored to be a part of the All-Star team," Matsui said. "I don't think everybody in Japan will vote for me, but a certain number of them probably will."
Ford began the season in Triple-A, so he was not on the All-Star ballot. But now leading Twins regulars with a .317 batting average and among the team leaders in homers (nine) and RBIs (41), he found his way onto the Final Vote ballot and said, "It seems like a lot of players are saying they voted for me a few times. That's a great feeling."
Hafner, hitting .310 with nine homers and 52 RBIs through 74 games, joined fans for a chat on the Indians' web site Tuesday afternoon, and one of the questions was how he felt about being up for the Final Vote. "It's an honor just to be up for the final spot. It's nice to get some recognition," he said. "I'm flattered just to be considered for it."
Ramirez, who finished second in fan balloting among NL third baseman to the Cardinals' Scott Rolen, is hoping to join Sammy Sosa, Moises Alou and Carlos Zambrano as the Cubs' fourth All-Star. As for Zambrano, he said he has been doing some campaigning to get his infielder to Houston.
"I talked to my brother in Minnesota, I told him to get online and vote for him," Zambrano said.
Ramirez, like other nominees, said he didn't vote for himself. "They all deserve to be there," he said of his competition. "That's a great thing for a player, but if I make it, good, and if I don't I'll go home."
The Final Vote was instituted in 2002 as a way to let fans round out All-Star rosters. All-Star managers Joe Torre (AL) and Jack McKeon (NL), in consultation with Major League Baseball, presented fans with this year's nominees right after the 31-man rosters were announced Sunday night.
It did not take long to see just how exciting the Final Vote could be. Going into the last day of voting in 2002, Boston outfielder Johnny Damon had a 5,551-vote lead on Jim Thome. Thome, then Cleveland's first baseman, was tied at the time with Alex Rodriguez for the AL home run lead with 24.
"I finished sixth in the All-Star voting for outfielders, so I think that's a positive thing," Damon said entering that last day. "The fans are definitely out there in my corner. I know Jim Thome has good backing too. However it turns out, somebody is going to be slighted and somebody is going to be very happy."
Damon was the happiest, surviving that close race and joining outfielder Andruw Jones of Atlanta in Milwaukee as the first two fan selections for a final roster spot.
Fans had made a notable last-minute move that same year in voting online for the starters. The Mets' Roberto Alomar was some 17,000 votes ahead of Montreal's Jose Vidro at NL second base heading into the final week, but fans pushed Vidro into the starting lineup with more than a 41,000-vote cushion.
Throw in this year's late online surges by Renteria and Suzuki, and it's plain to see that anything can happen.
It's down to the final day, and the final say, in the Final Vote. In the Marlins' clubhouse, Miguel Cabrera taped a Pierre flier on his jersey and walked around in front of the media. "It's good if guys think high of me, and to want to see me in that game, it's an honor," Pierre said. "I've said it before. Whatever happens happens."
But whatever happens Wednesday night, the fun for fan voting doesn't end there.
After deciding the starters and 32nd men, fans will have yet another opportunity to make themselves heard with the return of the Ameriquest All-Star Game MVP Vote. Beginning in the sixth inning of the All-Star Game at Minute Maid Park, fans can cast their vote for the player they believe is most deserving of the Ted Williams Award for being the game's Most Valuable Player. The fan vote counts for 20 percent of the decision, with the media vote accounting for the other 80 percent.

It had been awhile since I had drank this beer so I had a pint the other night,pours a hazy deep orange with a pretty nice sticky head.The aroma is definently zesty hoppy and a little piney.Taste to me might be a little over the top hopwise very citruisy and dry,pretty good beer but would like a little more balance to this beer.It is a hop head classic though.

Nothing makes me happier to see this beer on tap next to Bud, Guinness and the like at a bar. I consider it the finest mass produced pale ale in the United States. Consistently crisp and refreshingly hopped, with great big lingering head. When I need to stock my refrigerator, in the event that I'm having company or that I just need a reasonably priced drinkin' beer on hand, this is the stuff... that is, unless Celebration Ale is in season.

Appearance Nice, light orange body with an OK head.
Smell Sensuous hops aroma consistant with the style and the very slightest hint of pine tells us that this one is serious.
Taste It tastes like a lot of different hops in there. I get a little citrus, but not quite like an orange, and a lemon without the sourness (if that makes any sense). Some hops seem to have a strong floral taste, whereas others are a little bit more crisp. This is a hop-lovers delight.
Mouthfeel This feels great in the mouth. The carbonation is small, of course. The brew has a consistancy that just glides along the cheeks and gums. Nice job, SN.
Drinkability This one has it all. Its complex yet purposeful. There is an abundance of flavors in there, yet we know right away that its an American Pale Ale. In fact, this one would be a great reference taste for other pale ales.
Comments I have been very impressed with the offerings from this brewery thus far (this is my fourth SN review).
Update I first reviewed this beer the same month that I joined the site, so I thought it would be fun to revisit it with the 2004 vintage now that I have 1,000+ reviews under my belt.
This really is an understated but incredible Pale Ale. The nose is big on the hops and very complex, but the taste is expertly balanced. Its everything good in a mild sort of way. I think this is the most often named beer when folks ask the perennial BA question in the forum, Whats the best beer to introduce a macro drinker to craft beers. Im upping my Drinkability rating from 4.0 to 5.0 while bowing in the general direction of Chico, CA.
Update I had a few bottles of 2006 and thought it was grainier since I last remember. It is a terrific beer but just seemed so ordinary this time around. Its a definite 4.0 across the board at this point.

Pours a brilliant golden color, nearly amber; white head with some heft to it, simmers down quick but lasts in the form of lacing on the glass. Aroma is strong and solid; nice dose of American-style hops, leafy and earthy with a hint of citrus, on top of a huge malt canvas, full of some sweetness and bread-like yeast attributes. The taste is spot on for the style - west coast APA full force, leafy and earthy hop presence, mild bitterness which is both the king of the forefront yet overall mild at the same time. Mild citrus flavor in the form of orange peels and grapefruit - it's there, but not in large amounts. You'd swear the malt is given in nearly equal parts, as it cuts in about halfway through to give a nice sweetness full of rich barley and slightly toasted grains, with a finish that turns to the caramel aftertaste of the malt and the biscuity character of the yeast. Some lasting bitterness resides on the tongue, but it's relatively low and easily accessible, once again - great for this style. Tight, abundant carbonation and a medium body.
This is certainly a "go-to" APA when you're looking for something to sit back, relax, and drink a bunch of. You can certainly toss these back all day - great drinkability, tons of flavor. Also a great beer for introducing people to the world of craft beer, namely hop-forward beers, as it has a large hop presence but is relatively mild and far from overpowering, especially to a new palate. This is APA done simple, and done right.

I've had this brew many times. Luckily, when most places stock only the standard crap, I am fortunate to find this lone beacon of quality due to SN's great distibution system. Although I am a bigger fan of their Torpedo Extra IPA, I have no issues with this Pale Ale.
Dark golden color, long-lasting and just slightly off-white head. Above average lacing. A touch of yeast clouds the glass when swirled and poured into a pint glass once the head recedes far enough.
Malty sweet, but balanced by the grapefruit zing of Cascade hops. Not as bitter as other APA's I've tasted.
Very drinkable, the hoppy but fairly sweet taste and classic ale mouthfeel bring the bottom of the glass all too quickly, this beer was exceedingly good for the style.

On-tap a the PAP.
Pale amber pour with a cushy white and good retention.
Nose is loaded with pine resin, a hint of earth, and mint.
Clean with soft carbonation, which might not be so soft from the bottle. Quick finish, great balance of fresh, piney hops and crystal malt.
Classic in every way.

Two fingers of spongy, porous, white head rest easily over a visibly carbonated, crystal clear, light cypress colored pale ale. Light , hoppy nose. Minimal lacing.
Taste is dry, light-bodied, dry, resinous piney hopswith a crisp finish. Nothing fancy about this beer, just a nice fresh session pale.

A - Poured into pint glass a pretty gold with two fingers of white, bubbly foam. Leaves quite a bit of lace.
S - Not a bad-smelling beer, but doesn't distinguish itself really. It IS an improvement over the smells in your average BMC creation. Very similar to SN Celebration, which I had first.
T - A bit lighter than Celebration (no surprise there), but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Still plenty of hops, but doesn't have the sweet finish that Celebration does. In the end the beer tilts toward the hoppy end of the spectrum.
M - Slick and light-bodied. Finish is bitter but clean. Can't detect any alcohol over the hops. Carbonation is just a touch weak but not enough to really matter.
D - Given my choice I'll take the Celebration Ale over the Pale Ale when it's available but Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a quality beer. Easily sessionable.

This is a very good beer to live by. Some people like Bud, Bud light, Miller, etc. But for those who like a little bit of hops in their life or can i say "need" alittle hops in their life, this is the "one".
A- Appearance is good with a little stir of the yeast half way down the beer produces a nice light orange-amber fluid with fluffy white head that hangs for a minute or so. Light lacing but visually appealling. Mildly hazed.
S- Smell is light but carries hints of grassy hops, carmel malts, and yeasty undertones.
T-M- Not your everyday flavor... which is excellent. A great light if i may Ipa for everyday drinking. Nice and swift hop bite at first, next is a nice smooth malty backbone to fix things up, and a mild carbonation to leave you fully refreshed.
D- Drinkablity is great. Perfect for turning a boring atmosphere into a flavor blasting apa experience. Refering to boring beer of course!

Poured from a bottle to a chilled glass.
A - Golden, slightly bronze color. Minimal lacing on the glass. Pours with a nice thick white head about three or four fingers. Once it settles, it leaves a nice thin white head. I noticed some small particles floating around after I poured, no big deal.
S - Very subtle scent on this beer. Slightly sweet with a hint of citrus. I also pick up a very subtle bready scent.
T - This is where this beer really shines. It is ever so slightly bitter, yet it yields a nice citrus flavor that covers the whole pallet. The bitterness really shines through just after you swallow the beer. It quickly fades and you find your mouth begging for another gulp. It really delivers in this category.
M - Medium bodied, perfect carbonation in my opinion.
O - I am pleasantly surprised by this beer. It is my first brew by Sierra Nevada and definitely not my last. At 5.6% ABV I could drink this beer all day. Easy beer to drink, but really delivers in the taste department. This is probably my favorite pale ale that I've tried. I definitely recommend picking this one up if you have the opportunity, no regrets on this one.

Gold — atomic number 79, element symbol Au, the most widely beloved of the precious metals — might have its origin in extremely rare and violent explosions in the far reaches of outer space. The bling apparently begins with a blam.
For many years, scientists had theorized that the heavy elements of the periodic table, such as gold, platinum, lead and uranium, had their origin in supernova explosions. But the source, scientists announced Wednesday, might be even more exotic: the collision of two ultra-dense objects called neutron stars.
"We now have kind of a smoking gun," said Edo Berger, an astronomer who led the research at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.
The elements on Earth are all of cosmic origin. Carbon and oxygen atoms in our bodies, for example, come from the interior of stars, where they were formed under high pressure and heat. They were later spewed into the universe in supernova explosions. It is literally true, as Carl Sagan was fond of saying, that we are all star stuff.
But what hasn't been known is whether these supernova events could account for the heaviest of the elements. A heavy element such as gold has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons. That's a lot of mass for one atom. Most of the elements are simpler; gold and the other heavy elements are cosmically extravagant.
The neutron stars might provide the explanation.
Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of stars that have exploded in a supernova. A neutron star might be roughly the diameter of Washington but contain as much mass as our sun, all of it crammed together by the force of gravity, until even the atoms have collapsed, leaving the object with the density of an atomic nucleus.
A teaspoon full of neutron-star material would weigh, on Earth, about 5 billion tons, Berger said.
