If you've been there and done that at all of the top local ski resorts, maybe its time to take your passion for all things ski to even greater heights. It's time to dust off those skis; these...
In 1990, Brad Kasselman graduated from the University of Michigan and decided to be a ski bum for a season at Whistler in British Columbia. He liked the area so much that he vowed to stay "one more year." Twenty-five years later, he's still there, hitting the slopes all winter long, but he also now owns and operates the area's biggest photography business.
Although the first day of winter isn't officially for another month, winter is alive and well in Colorado, particularly at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone ski resorts. With more snow falling and forecasted through Saturday night, skiers and snowboarders can rejoice for promising early-season conditions.
You can pay as much as $A22,000 a day for a room in the luxury Badrutt Palace Hotel in St Moritz.
If you are planning a trip to Switzerland, indulge in an unforgettable overnight stay in an igloo on Mount Titlis. This gives you a chance to experience the mountain and nature like never before.
It was already epic but now you can add one more ski resort to the Epic Pass Resorts with Park City Mountain Resort in Park City, Utah joining.
Thredbo has today announced Australian snowboarding legend, Torah Bright, as the new face of the resort.
I was under the impression that when Australians head to North America to ski it is either Whistler or Colorado that are top of the list. Unbeknownst to me, the ski fields of Utah apparently also enjoy many visitors from Down Under.
If you have never skied or snowboarded before, now is a great time to start.
Hakkoda, located at the north of Japan's main island, has long been known as a destination locally but is now attracting attention internationally. Viewed as a destination for serious skiers and snowboarders, the area combines Japan's famous 'champagne' powder with a vast backcountry that offers the freedom to explore undiscovered country with no crowds.
We get the low-down on Rekorderlig's resident pro snowboarder Chris Sörman.
At just 19 years of age, Britt Cox has already represented Australia twice at the Winter Olympics and has won two World Cup medals in the mogul skiing. Born into a family of avid snow-sport lovers, Britt spent her childhood on the slopes at Falls Creek and knows the ins-and-outs of what is needed to have the best time when at the snow.

I was recently given the opportunity by iFabbo to test Rodan & Fields Redefine Acute Care Regimen. This line of products is made for those who want to smooth expression lines and reduce the look of wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. While I do have some fine lines under my eyes and the lines on your face from smiling, I thought it'd be better to show the results from my mom using the products. She just so happened to be visiting me when these came in.
The Redefine Acute Care & Redefine Regimen features the following products:
- 10 sachets of Acute Care (1 pair in each sachet)
- Redefine Daily Cleansing Mask
- Redefine Pore Minimizing Toner
- Redefine Triple Defense Treatment SPF 30
- Redefine Overnight Restorative Cream
Let's talk about the Acute Care product first. This product claims to smooth lines with proprietary Liquid Cone Technology that melts line-defying peptides and hyaluronic acid directly into the wrinkle after 10 applications. You stick them to wherever you're trying to diminish the look of wrinkles. For my mom, we decided on the lines by her eyes. The product was easy to use and apply. However, my mom complained that it hurt. She said it felt like lots of little needles while we were trying to rub it in. The first time she put it on, she couldn't sleep with it because of the discomfort she experienced. The second time we did it, she was able to make it through the night.
Here's a before photo of my mom before using any of the products.
After one use, we were able to see a small difference. The lines by her eyes weren't as noticeable.
With continued use, I think we'll be able to see better results. Now let's move on to the rest of the products. I should mention that I used the rest of these too so that I could test them out. The cleansing mask is to be used twice a day for about 2 minutes. For me, I found it inconvenient to use a mask in the morning so I used it mostly at night. My mom used it both morning and night. I didn't mind the mask and felt that my face was clean after use. My mom complained that it burned and didn't enjoy using it, even though I made her.
The toner is very mild and helps to remove any extra dirt on your face. Easy to use and no complaints from either of us. Both creams (one is for day and one is for night) were also easy to use. The odor didn't bother either of us (and we're both very sensitive to perfumy smells). I didn't find them to be too heavy or greasy. My makeup was able to go on easily over the creams.
My mom said that she did feel like her skin was a lot softer after continued use. She also doesn't have a skin care routine. I didn't notice much of a difference, but I already have a skincare routine in place. We'll both be continuing to use the products while she's in town and will continue to see if we notice any differences, especially for my mom.
The products can be found on Rodan & Fields website here and it retails for $413. It's too soon to determine if it's worth the money, but I'll keep everyone updated on our results, especially with the Acute Care.
Have you used any of Rodan & Fields' products? Which ones are your favorite?

Curtis Harwell Discusses How To Pick The Right Fitness Program
in Fitness
Ask yourself these questions to create a workout tailored to your needs and preferences.
Fitness programs abound, from yoga and Pilates to step aerobics and strength training — either at home or in a gym. So which type of fitness program is right for you? Ask yourself these questions to figure it out.
What is your current fitness level?
You probably have some idea of how fit you are. But assessing and recording baseline fitness scores can help you set your fitness goals and measure your progress. To assess your aerobic and muscular fitness, flexibility, and body composition, consider recording:
Your pulse rate before and immediately after walking 1 mile (1.6 kilometers)
How long it takes to walk 1 mile
How many pushups you can do at a time
How far you can reach forward while seated on the floor with your legs in front of you
Your waist circumference at the level of your hipbones
Your body mass index
Do you have any health issues?
If you are age 50 or older, haven't exercised for some time, or have chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, it's a good idea to to consult your doctor before beginning an exercise program.
It's also good to keep in mind that as you age, impaired balance, decreased elasticity of tendons and other factors can limit your exercise capacity. Injuries also are more frequent, and recovery takes longer. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't exercise or that you won't benefit from it. Just be sure to seek input from your doctor or an exercise therapist about how to create a program that's appropriate for you.

US: Hawaii Governor attempts to push lawmakers towards legalising equal marriage
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Good luck Governor.
Good for him! If he argues that this is about 'equality of choice', he may get further. Unless you allow equal marriage rights, you are, in effect, declaring that gay people are second-class citizens and that their love for each other is less valid. When right-minded people view it in this way, they can only support equlaity. It's when the religious Taliban start screaming about 'god' that things get messy. Religion does not own marriage. It is a CIVIL right – NOT something over which religion has ANY sort of monopoly. Get THAT in your head, for god's (pun intended) sake.

The Tigers haven't made a decision on Jhonny Peralta's playoff status
Aug 31, 2013, 12:05 PM EST
While the Rangers are prepared to welcome Nelson Cruz back for the playoffs after his completes his 50-game suspension for his involvement with Biogenesis, the Tigers aren't ready to say the same for Jhonny Peralta.
According to Chris Iott of MLive.com, Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski responded to inquiries on Peralta's status yesterday by saying via email that no decision has been made.
"We have not made any decisions on Jhonny's situation to date," Dombrowski said.
Peralta was batting .305/.361/.461 with 11 home runs and 54 RBI over 104 games prior to the suspension and was named to his second All-Star team back in July. The Tigers acquired Jose Iglesias from the Red Sox in a three-team trade last month and appear content with him as their starting shortstop, so it sounds like they could go the Melky Cabrera route and simply tell him to stay home. Of course, injuries could change things.
Peralta, 31, is due to become a free agent this winter. With Iglesias in-house, Iott writes that "it seems abundantly clear" that the Tigers will not have any interest in re-signing him.

Official information act requests get heat stroke
Government departments are expected to respond to Official Information Act requests within 20 working days, but replies can take twice that time over the holiday period. The act states that a working day is any day of the week other than Saturday, Sunday, public holidays and the "summer holiday" period between December 25 and January 15. So a request on November 26 should come by December 24, but a request on November 27 isn't due until January 16.
NZ on the right track on big business tax avoidance
An IRD report on tax paid by multinational corporations has found some are "thwarting" normal expectations but international tax treaties would override any attempts at a crackdown. Revenue Minister Peter Dunne, who ordered the report after it emerged Facebook paid less than 1 cent in tax for every Kiwi user, said it was an international issue but New Zealand was on the right track. Labour's David Clark called Mr Dunne's position a U-turn.

Police said information and disclosure "impacted the technical processes" of the investigation. They told Greens co-leader Russel Norman they will provide an update early next year.

Ads, phone calls and mailers have bombarded voters in Wisconsin in the days leading up to Tuesday's vote — the next major battleground in the Republican presidential race.
The Badger State primary has gained significance over the last week as both Mitt Romney's and Rick Santorum's campaigns have indicated it could dramatically alter the momentum and duration of the race.
Romney and his allies have outspent their rivals by a little less than a 4-1 margin on television ads in the state, according to figures provided by an unaligned Republican media consultant that tracks ad spending in the nomination race.
Romney leads polls in Wisconsin and is expected to win in the District of Columbia and Maryland, which also vote Tuesday.
Yahoo News covered Santorum's campaign in Wisconsin: (H/T The Other McCain)
Throughout the weekend, Santorum, known for being relatively dour at times, seemed cheerful — gleeful even. He was relaxed, cracking jokes during his speeches and even slipping in a few cracks about himself. At a late night address in Pewaukee on Saturday, for instance, he jokingly mentioned his disastrous Senate defeat in 2006 against Bob Casey, a fact of history he rarely volunteers to discuss unprovoked.
"This is the most upbeat Santorum speech I've heard him give," observed NBC News embed reporter Andrew Rafferty, who has trailed Santorum across the country for months. "Maybe ever."
For Santorum, it is possible the apparent giddiness could be his way of accepting that the campaign season is winding down. He has arguably been one of the hardest working candidates in the race, having labored his way up from the bottom of the polls when he held events in Iowa that literally no one showed up for, to becoming the lead rival to the frontrunner. The man has only taken five days off the campaign trail since last summer, and spent most of that time eking his way along financially. With weak organization to speak of and an entourage that consisted of little more than the candidate and a friend with a Dodge Ram, Santorum went from being the candidate who could hardly get his name on the ballot in some states to becoming a household name.
If the two front-runners were spending the same amount of money, Santorum would win the primary by a landslide. Romney is just getting too much money from: global warming advocates: and Wall Street bankers.
Here are Mitt Romney's: top contributors:
Goldman Sachs | $521,180 |
JPMorgan Chase & Co | $356,400 |
Morgan Stanley | $297,550 |
Credit Suisse Group | $296,160 |
Citigroup Inc | $280,050 |
Bank of America | $245,900 |

Hitachi Outfits the Entire Vancouver Public Schools District with Projectors
Vancouver, WA, December 30, 2013 â Since outfitting its 22 elementary schools, six middle schools and six high schools and comprehensive schools with Hitachi projectors, Vancouver Public Schools District has seen a higher level of engagement among its students at all grade levels. Hitachiâs projectors (purchased by the school district through Troxell Communications) offer dozens of advanced capabilities, such as highly intuitive operation and an unprecedented level of interactivity, that make teaching more effective and efficient and learning more engaging.
Vancouver Public Schools offer basic and advanced training courses for teachers on using the Hitachi projectors and interactive whiteboards, focusing first on the basics of the technology, and then addressing how to effectively integrate the technology into lesson plans.
âThe secret to convincing a teacher to buy into the technology is by tying it into the curriculum,â said Steve Stoll, Instructional Technology Facilitator, Vancouver Public Schools. âA lot of our teachers have been excited to adopt features like conferencing, sharing screens and iPad compatibility. Veteran teachers are also seeing the value once they learn how to operate the projectors.â
âI came across an article tracing advancements in educational tools throughout history,â said Mr. Stoll. âTeachers have always pushed back in the transition from quill pen to pencil, pencil to ballpoint pen and so on. But weâve seen teachers who are genuinely excited to use their new Hitachi projectors to the fullest extent.â
One of the most popular features of the Hitachi projectors is the ability to digitally store recent lessons. âResearch shows that when the brain revisits learned information within 24 hours of inception, it has a much higher chance of being retained,â Mr. Stoll said.
Mr. Stoll explains that interactive technology is important for both the teachers and the students. âEven at the kindergarten level, weâll see kids become accustomed to interactive lessons,â Mr. Stoll added. âIn high school, they will often be utilizing the projectors and interactive whiteboards for their own group presentations.â
In addition to the Hitachi projection solutions, the district has begun several other new programs with an emphasis on technology, which include 1-to-1 initiatives where all students receive either iPads or laptops. These programs will expand to all students in grades 3-12 in the coming years.
For a school district so focused on student advancement through technology, Hitachiâs projectors are ideal. Steve Bratt, Manager of Technology Operations at Vancouver Public Schools, was impressed with the ease and affordability of the installation. âThe short-throw interactive projectors are mounted in close proximity to the wall, meaning that itâs much more cost-effective and easier than installing a ceiling mount, which normally requires additional power,â Mr. Bratt said. âIt also turns an existing whiteboard into an interactive board, which can still function as a normal dry-erase whiteboard on its own.â

Kitchen bin war: tackling the food waste mountain
A Government campaign will see the end of confusing 'best before' labels, reduced packaging, and five new plants to convert waste into energy
An ambitious "War on Waste" campaign to tackle Britain's mountains of food-based rubbish with a range of radical new measures is to be launched tomorrow.
The programme will scrap "best before" labels on food, create new food packaging sizes, build more "on-the-go" recycling points and unveil five flagship anaerobic digestion plants, to harness the power of leftover food and pump energy back into the national grid. The government hopes that its plans will reduce the 100 million tons of waste the country produced last year, which included 20 million tons of food waste and 10.7 million tons of packaging waste.
On Tuesday, Hilary Benn, Secretary of State for the Environment, will announce plans to dispense with "best before" labels, in an attempt to reduce the estimated 370,000 tons of food that is thrown away despite being perfectly edible. The latest government research into food labelling showed that the British are very cautious when it comes to eating anything that has passed its "best before" date: 53 per cent of consumers never eat fruit or vegetables that has exceeded the date; 56 per cent would not eat bread or cake; and 21 per cent never even "take a risk" with food close to its date.
"One of the things we found in our research is that confusion over date labelling is one of the major reasons for throwing food away. Often people don't realise the difference between 'best before' and 'use by'," said Richard Swannell, director of retail and organics at Wrap, the Government waste watchdog. It is working with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and leading retailers to get rid of the "sell until", "display until" and "best before" tags, which confuse customers, causing them to throw away edible food.
"It is an issue that we want to address, but there has to be a balance, as we have to protect consumer safety," said an FSA spokesman. "Not eating out-of-date food is one of the simplest ways of preventing food poisoning."
Ahead of the launch, Mr Benn said: "It's time for a new war on waste. It's not just about recycling more – and we are making progress there – it's about rethinking the way we use resources in the first place.
"We need to make better use of everything we produce, from food to packaging, and the plans I'm setting out over the next few days will help us to achieve that. We all have a part to play, from businesses and retailers to consumers."
The minister added: "Too many of us are putting things in the bin simply because we're not sure, we're confused by the label, or we're just playing safe. This means we're throwing away thousands of tons of food every year completely unnecessarily. I want to improve labels so that when we buy a loaf of bread or a packet of cold meat, we know exactly how long it's safe to eat."
On Tuesday, the Government will also unveil plans for dealing with packaging, including increased glass collection from pubs, clubs and restaurants, a huge expansion of "on-the-go" recycling points for aluminium cans, and new packaging sizes for supermarkets.
In addition to tackling food waste and packaging, the Government will reveal plans to use the waste we do produce as fuel. Tomorrow Mr Benn will announce the location of five new anaerobic digestion plants, built with the help of £10m in state funding. The facilities compost waste in the absence of oxygen, producing a biogas that can be used to generate electricity and heat.
Mr Benn said: "We need to rethink the way we deal with waste – to see it as a resource, not a problem."
The UK produces 100 tons of organic waste a year. If processed anaerobically this would produce enough energy to power two million homes, or Birmingham five times over. Anaerobic digestion plants are widely used across Europe, and are already being used by high street retailers such as Sainsbury's and Marks & Spencer to tackle their food waste.
Michael Warhurst, senior waste and resources campaigner for Friends of the Earth, said: "This should be happening across the country, instead of councils still putting money into building incinerators. They are the technology of the past – this is the future."
Don't read the label: 'If it looks old, cook it for longer'
Edmund Luxmoore, 39, from London, hates waste and never pays any attention to "best before" dates:
"I get most of my vegetables from the supermarket near my house, picking up bits and pieces throughout the week. I get the heavy stuff delivered. We plan meals, making lots of lists. I like to cook and we make curries and lots of other dishes.
"I'm a vegetarian, and I suppose if I was eating meat I would be more wary about eating off food, but a dodgy potato probably isn't going to do much, is it? The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Just look at it and see if it's OK: if it looks a little bit old, cook it for longer.
"I totally understand the difference between the 'best before' and the 'use by' dates. I've certainly got friends who will bin just about anything. Money used to be a factor in not wasting stuff in the days when I had a lower income but now it's just a personal choice. I intensely dislike waste – I think that is a family tradition. My dad used to make us stop the car by the side of the road to pick up plastic bags and clean up the countryside!"
Cautious eater: 'I don't want to poison my mother'
Julie Andrew, 48, from Wakefield, is nervous about eating food that is even approaching its "best before" date:
"I must admit that I'm a bit wasteful. I throw things away when they are near the date. If it's in the fridge and it passes the best-before date I throw it out, even if it's just one day over. I always check both the 'best before' and 'use by' dates in the supermarket and know the difference, but when I get home I just throw things in the bin if they pass any date on the packaging. I do end up throwing out a lot – day-old yoghurts or the end of Flora pots. If I have meat and it looks at all suspicious, I put it straight in the bin.
"With ready meals I worry about the date too and if I've had them in the freezer too long I chuck them out. I had food poisoning once and since then I've been more careful. I try to not be as wasteful because I know there are starving people out there, but I just like to know the food we eat is OK. I live with my mother, who's in her 70s, and I don't want to poison her."
