Manufacturer: Wintec
Model: Youth Synthetic Saddle
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I purchased this saddle for my daughter online from Jeffers for $199. They had a good price and with free shipping it was a good deal.
Likes: I previously purchased another saddle online from another company but the quality just didn't compare to the Wintec. It looks great, is flexible and feels nice to the touch. I really like the soap and water cleanup since it may be a few years before my daughter can do a decent job of saddle care. My 15HH QH mare is a bit swaybacked and this saddle fits like it was made just for her. Other saddles either pinched her withers or teeter-tottered on her back.
Dislikes: The only thing I could possibly find wrong with this saddle is that it's only available in black and I prefer brown simply because we live in Florida and a brown saddle feels cooler to me.
Quality: This saddle is very well made. Everything is symmetrical, tight and strong and it's light weight. It has a nice decoratively sewn seat and good quality hardware.
Summary: This is a great saddle at a great price. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quality youth saddle.

Crown molding- faux illusions
So I have basic builder grade crown molding throughout my house, which is too bad as I really love molding. My ceiling are only 8 feet however. I thought I saw once where you could put a narrow strip of molding below the crown and then paint the space in between and give the illusion of upgraded crown. Has anyone heard of this or tried it?
We used this faux illusion in our former home. I wish I had pictures of it because I would love to do something similar in our new home. One of the great things about what was done is that we did not have to remove the original molding. They added a little something to the bottom--and then several inches below they added another piece. About 6 inches in from the edge of the ceiling they added another. The whole thing was then painted in a high gloss to give the illusion that it was all wood. It was fabulous!
yes, its 2 piece crown moulding.
I am a trim carpenter and we install 2 piece in alot of houses.
we normally use a piece of base cap run about 4.5"s below the crown.
once its painted one color it gives the illusion of a built up crown moulding.
it gives the look of having crown bedded on a piece of upside down baseboard. ( which is another 2 piece crown, with the true built -up look)
I have a couple photos of a similar method. Not exactly the same, but they might give you a visual. I like to use picture rail molding as the "other" molding beneath the crown. Picture rail molding allows you to use hooks to hang pictures/artwork off the rail molding instead of having to fasten hooks onto the wall. No nail holes in the walls with picture rail molding.
The "red wall" is a 3-piece, a backer of 1/2" MDF with standard crown up top and a piece of picture rail molding beneath it. I don't normally like the two moldings to be this close together, but it was what was wanted.
The "yellow wall" crown below is a larger crown, a 6-piece built-up, but with the same idea...the picture rail held a few inches blow the crown. This molding is about 11" tall.
In addition to using this to elongate the crown down the wall, you can use the same technique to pull the crown further out onto the ceiling, but it's style-dependent and only common in larger rooms with high ceilings.
This is great. I've been having a debate with my husband about this issue as he doesn't want nail holes and we installed crown molding that is 4 3/4" in two rooms with 8 ft ceilings. My husband is convinced that the picture molding needs to be hung lower on the wall because it is that way in his old apartment which has 10ft. ceilings.
I want it at the bottom of the crown so as not to break up the lines of the already small rooms.
I guess I am curious is you have an opinion on whether we would overwhelm the room now by adding the picture rail below the molding as in your preferred option above. Is there are rule of thumb for the space between the bottom of the crown and the top of the picture rail?
Of course I wish I had known his vehemence about nail holes before we put up the molding...
Any suggestions or thoughts most appreciated.

Iced Coffee...
Okay I LOVE Iced coffee from Starbucks...I don't own a coffee maker (I usually made mud, and so didn't make coffee at home), but it gets expensive, so my DD got me a french press to make coffee at home. SO do you think I can make Iced Coffee at home? See here's the thing...she works for Starbucks and I can get my coffee beans for FREE. I have the recipe but will it work with a french press the same as if I'd made it in a coffee maker?
Recipe: (they usually use Tezerra or Gazebo Blend) ...and this is published so I'm not giving away any secrets.
Coffee is double strength...
1 cup ground coffee to 3 cups water
When brewing is complete pour into a pitcher or Carafe
Optional: Add sweetner (Sugar or Syrup)
Add 3 cups Ice to Pitcher and let cool
Serve in tall glass filled halfway with ice
I would probably have to cut the measurements down for my french press, but it should work, shouldn't...Hey the coffee's free so I guess it's worth a try.

Historical Traveler Reviews Buenaventura Grand Hotel and Spa Puerto Vallarta
Buenaventura in 2003
Just home today from a week long stay. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Poolside was kept very neat and tidy. Room was adequate - not large but clean - both the A/C and the TV worked well. We found the buffet breakfast and supper to be very good every day. Always a wide selection although I do agree with the comment that a vegetarian wouldn't feel catered to. A very nice beach although there are the usual venders there daily. They did not really bother you if you made it clear you were not interested in buying. An easy walk to downtown once you got through the "Time Share Shark Tank" - they were the only bad thing about the entire trip. Would go again in a minute!@!!@@!!Write if you have any questions.
I arrived home 3 hours ago from a week long stay in the Buenaventura Hotel and Beach Club, in all honesty, from somebody who has seen many hotels, I loved it. The staff were amazing and friendly, the cuisine was always outstanding, the rooms were immaculate and the environment was unbeatable. The staff were always willing to do what they could to help and they made it difficult to leave. I can't reccomend it enough, and with no doubt I'll be going again. Great location, and accomidations. My only complaint is I didn't go for long enough.
Buenaventura not so bad!
We just returned from 4 days at the Buenaventura Hotel and Beach Club. I read the reviews of this hotel AFTER I booked the trip, so I was kind of nervous about what I might find! The hotel is not much to look at from the street, but they rebuilt the lobby after the hurricane, and it's very nice - open and airy. We had a standard room - two beds, somewhat of an ocean view from the balcony. Not fancy by any means, but acceptable. The hotel has three pools - the largest pool was very nice and warm. There is another pool (colder) with a volleyball net, then a shallow "adults only" lounging pool with built-in chairs. The food was very good (although not vegetarian-friendly), and the staff was courteous and helpful. Benino (Benny) at the bar is awesome - try the "Benny's Special" cocktail! All in all, I was pleasantly surprised!
20 Yrs.
I've stayed there at least 20 times in 20 yrs. and have never had any problems...the food leaves little to be desired but other than that it's a wonderful place to sleep and swim.
There are better places to stay
I stood here th my family about two years ago. Service was awful, the staff was extremely unfriendly. The ac in our room was broken. They said they would fix it but never
made any attempts to. The remote control to our T. V. did not work, we asked for a replacement and got a control with batteries that had been dead. Then they accused us of switchng the batteries of the remote to use in my nieces walkman!
I cannot believe that Fodor's still has this **** hotel
in his book as a recomended place to stay! I tried to write to Fodor's explaining my plight, but to no avail I received no response.
Buenaventura was a great place to stay
We just got back from our very first trip to Mexico. We stayed at the Buenaventura Resort in Puerto Vallarta, and we were very impressed with your hotel. Buenaventura staff were excellent. They were very courteous and accomodating. We arrived there at 2:15 a.m. and there were bellhops waiting to carry our luggage up to our rooms. The food at every meal we had was wonderful. We couldn't get enough fresh fruit. It was incredible. We are planning to return to Puerto Vallarta in a couple of years with our son, and will definately stay at the Buenaventura again. Thanks for the memories. Sandra and Garry
Good Value but eat out
Buenaventura is a good value for Puerto Vallarta, the hotel is nice and very close to the downtown area that you can explore on foor. I recommend that you oay only for your room (not all inclusive) as there are many alternatives for all tastes and budgets close by.
Bad & Good!
Stayed here twice and had 2 vastly different experiences.
1st - great. Super location. Lousy food. OK room. Nice beach. Walk to town along the beach!!
2nd - losuy. Same location but rooms [we changed 3x in 3 days] had leaking pipes, rattling a/c, NO a/c, funny odors. Left after 3rd night for hotel next door.
Oh, the food here is abysmal!
Good for a cheap vacation
service was extremely slow & the food was only mediocre. room service was bad -we always had to get our own towls for the bathroom.(maids forgot them almost every day)!
hotel is in great location though -right down town.
note: if you go -make sure to get a room facing the ocean -rooms closer to streets are very noisy-taxi's honk their horns constantly all night & day !
Gringos go for the gold
We stayed in room #1316 on the 3rd floor, room with jacuzzi. Great front desk staff:Fernando & Aidee. Extremely friendly hotel personnel. Great pools & right on the ocean. Bar service can be kind of slow when busy but so what? Close to shopping,go down the street & get anything you want. Close to the Malecon. Taxis right outside. Great certified massage therapists (on-site) with great prices. If you don't want to stay at the "uppity,stuffy" resorts, this is the place to be. Suggest the tequila factory tour and the dolphin encouter plus sunset cruise.
Viva la Mexico!

Gerry Palano
Renewable Energy/Energy Efficiency Coordinator, Department of Agricultural Resources
Sometimes competing interests can cultivate innovation. With demand for fresh, locally grown and raised foods increasing in recent years for consumer supported agriculture (CSAs), farmers markets, farm stand sales, and local food offerings in our restaurants and supermarkets, there is also an increase in demand to preserve local rich and fertile farm land. At the same time, demand for clean energy systems, such as ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) systems, means an increased need for local land resources, sometimes those very same rich and fertile lands.
The acknowledgement of these competing interests has led to some creative and cost-effective solutions including one in South Deerfield. Several local design-build PV installation firms, including Berkshire Photovoltaic Services, PV2, Moss Hollow, Cotuit Solar and Nexamp, work with farms and DAR when integrating ground-mounted PV systems on farms. These systems are placed either on non food-producing or marginal soils or on dedicated centralized towers or sloping roof structures that allow land use underneath or can also serve as storage facilities.
UMass Amherst's Agronomy Lab (the Crop and Animal Research and Education Center Farm in South Deerfield) hopes to further these efforts by demonstrating and studying a different tactic – mounting PV on "traditional" field racking but with columns high enough and spaced apart enough to allow room underneath and adequate sunlight penetration for animal grazing and the raising of crops.
As proposed to DAR's FY2011 AgEnergy Grant Program by Professor Stephen J. Herbert, Ph.D., Director for the UMass Extension Center for Agriculture, the 70-panel, 16.45 kilowatt PV project's purpose is three-fold. First, it examines and documents the results of implementing ground-mounted solar energy technology on farm land while simultaneously producing a crop. It also is designed to produce an electric power source to offset power usage at the research farm. Finally, the project will demonstrate how this type of PV can be implemented by a farm cost effectively.
Project measurements of ambient light levels and plant matter and economic analyses will provide a meaningful evaluation of plant growth effects and the benefits to farmers. The initial project started with 70 panels, but will expand to 106 panels to include additional innovations.
UMass Amherst raised funding for this effort from a combination of sources, including the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture, UMass Extension Center for Agriculture, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) and DAR. Two private sector interests are also participating, including Berkshire Management Group Director Michael Lehan and David Marley, manager of Diversified Construction Services, LLC.
We're thankful for UMass for its efforts to raise awareness about dual-use clean energy projects to preserve precious farm land and lead the way toward our clean energy future.

"The $14 billion wall of debt maturities at Dubai GREs next year is not nearly as daunting as the headline number suggests," analyst Zafar Nazim said in a report dated Oct. 12.
October 13, 2011 3:23 by Reuters
Dubai's government-related entities (GREs) can pay down or refinance nearly $14 billon in debt maturing next year with relative ease, a report by investment bank J.P. Morgan said on Thursday.
The emirate's capital market risk is limited primarily to Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), a unit of state-owned conglomerate Dubai World that is looking to refinance its 7.5 billion UAE dirhams ($2.04 bln) Islamic bond, and the topping up needs of the Dubai Financial Support Fund (DFSF), which are about $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion.
"The $14 billion wall of debt maturities at Dubai GREs next year is not nearly as daunting as the headline number suggests," analyst Zafar Nazim said in a report dated Oct. 12.
However, the report expressed concerns about the yet-to-be-concluded state-linked restructurings as they could lead to repercussions such as negative headlines, litigation and the burden of financial support on the government.
Dubai Group, part of a conglomerate owned by the emirate's ruler, may take longer than expected to reach an agreement with its lenders on a $10 billion debt deal, a senior banker involved in the talks said earlier this week.
The report also said that state-owned entities Dubai Holding Commercial Operations, DIFC Investments and JAFZA are focused on next year's bond maturities without any support from the DFSF.
"These entities expect to meet bond maturities via a combination of operating cash generation, asset sales and refinancing. Accessing DFSF appears to be more of a Plan B," said the report.
Only $3.3 billion of debt maturities – relating to JAFZA and DIFC – could be considered challenging. The remaining roughly $10 billion of debt for next year is at entities that have healthy balance sheets and cash generation, the analyst said.
Meanwhile, the government's property arm Nakheel , which recently completed its $16 billion restructuring, is expected to see an injection of $1.5 billion to $2 billion over the June 2011 to December 2012 period.
Dubai has been in the spotlight for its debt woes since late 2009, as it struggled to rebuild investor confidence since state-owned Dubai World announced a $26 billion restructuring. ($1 = 3.673 UAE Dirhams) (Reporting by Praveen Menon; Editing by Dinesh Nair and Hans-Juergen Peters)

[IMAGE]Cttransit-2011-hybrid-2.jpg[/IMAGE] The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is adding to the growing list of "green" buses in its CTTRANSIT fleet with the pending addition of 31 hybrid-electric buses to the New Haven and Waterbury Divisions.The New Haven Division will receive 14 40-foot hybrids, with 17 35-foot hybrids going to the Waterbury Division to help upgrade its 15-year old fleet. The 40-foot hybrid buses will seat 38 passengers, while the 35-foot buses will seat 30. All of these buses will be operational by the end of April, 2011.These hybrid buses are powered by a combination of an internal combustion clean diesel engine paired with a generator, electric storage system and an electric motor. New state-of-the-art small and lightweight lithium-ion batteries provide an extended range for the bus.The hybrids' new, smaller engine meets the new 2010 near-zero emissions requirement. The hybrid bus design provides for a 25 percent improvement in fuel economy compared to a standard new clean diesel bus. In addition, the buses feature all LED lighting inside and out, replacing fluorescent lights. These lights are more energy efficient and are better for the environment.The exterior features more windows for passengers, including a back window, and significant upgrades in noise reduction. Passengers can expect a quieter ride inside and out.Each hybrid bus costs approximately $560,000 while the diesel buses cost approximately $376,000. They were purchased by the Connecticut Department of Transportation using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds. CTTRANSIT is the first transit system in the U.S. to receive this new model of bus from New Flyer Inc.With the addition of these buses, CTTRANSIT now operates 33 diesel-electric hybrid buses and five hydrogen fuel cell-powered buses.
To read about CTTRANSIT's addition of 60-foot articulated buses to the fleet, click here.
The CTfastrak transit system provides direct service to and from Waterbury, Cheshire, Southington, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain, Newington, West Hartford, Hartford, East Hartford and Manchester with routes that take advantage of the bus-only CTfastrak roadway.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.

To be holy is to live like Jesus, to walk as He did on this earth, bearing the same fruit. Jesus made this clear: "You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures." (John 15:16, TEV) read more

Finishing Well
When we produce fruits of holiness through the power of God's grace, we have no reason to fall back into a life of sin and bondage. They are free, empowered and whole. However, this promise does not apply to believers who do not walk in true holiness. Hear what Peter says about this: read more

HOLY - Defined
The word holy is from the Greek word hagios. Some words used to define it are set apart, sanctified, and consecrated, along with pure and morally blameless. The fundamental qualities of holiness are separation, consecration and devotion to the service of God, sharing in His purity and abstaining from worldly defilement. read more

Photographer of the week: Breeana Dunbar
Posted by Paul Drury
08. Jun, 2012
Bree Dunbar has been taking photos for over a decade, starting out on a high-end SLR and getting progressively more lo-fi ever since. Today she shots exclusively on her iPhone 4s.
The Melbourne-based snapper favours street and candid photography. Bree explains "I was always leaving my camera at home and people tended to freeze up around big cameras anyway. The iPhone is the perfect solution; it's always with me, people barely notice it, and the picture quality is really good."
Bree processes all her photos on her iPhone using apps like Snapseed and Camera+.
"The simplicity of the iPhone camera means that when I'm shooting, all I have to think about is composition and the decisive moment." She reckons many photographers dismiss iPhoneography, but the iPhone's portability and relative invisibility mean a street photographer she has a much better chance of getting an interesting shot.

My Aunt Eula personifies AAUW for me. I wear her engagement ring from the fiance who died in World War I. She went on to achieve Phi Beta Kappa and teach school in Milwaukee, WI. She married late and I remember she always referred to her husband as "Dear Albert". Aunt Eula valued her member ship in the Milwaukee Chapter of the American Association of University Women so highly that I joined AAUW soon after my own graduation in 1948 and am a dual member in two California Chapters today.

This 1960s-set, US civil-rights drama works brilliantly as both expert historical re-creation and a powerful reflection of what's happening in the world right now. As recent events in Ferguson, Missouri show, there's nothing 'finished' about the issue of racism in America or beyond...

Solutions that Bear Fruit

However, city-dwellers often do not have the opportunity to pick fresh fruit for themselves, but that will soon change for residents of Seattle, Washington. A 7-acre public plot in the working-class neighborhood of Beacon Hill is slated to become the largest urban food forest on U.S. public land.

Tomorrow is Make a Difference Day and reading the many stories of people volunteering their time and effort to help improve their corner of the world has got me thinking about the many American Forests supporters who have pitched in to help us in our mission of protecting and restoring forests. So, today a note of thanks: Here are just a few of the ways you have made a difference for our forests over the past 12 months: In mid-December last year, volunteers joined American Forests, the Arlington Department of Parks and Recreation and the Arlington Tree Stewards to plant trees along Arlington, Va.'s Bluemont Junction Trail. Just look at t... (Read More)
Walk to School and Walk for Health
by Susan Laszewski
Did you or your little ones miss International Walk to School Day yesterday? Not to worry. As the occasion has gained popularity in recent years, the International Walk to School Committee expanded it in 2010 to make the entire month of October Walk to School Month. Of course, there are many reasons why it's not feasible for everyone to let their child walk to school. But, if you do live in an area where your kids might be able to skip the school bus, just think about some of the many benefits they, the rest of your family and your community stand to gain: exercise, a sense of community, reduced air pollution and expense by saving the ca...

Getting Our Hands Dirty
by Loose Leaf Team
By Michelle Werts If you're a regular reader here on Loose Leaf, you know that our forests and ecosystems, while very good self-regulators, sometimes need a helping hand — and a helping hand is what they're going to get en masse tomorrow. Tomorrow is National Public Lands Day, the largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands each year. On this, the 20th anniversary of the event, more than 2,000 projects are registered across the country. And it just so happens that American Forests is going to be out there doing our part, too. First, we're co-hosting a volunteer tree planting in Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National F... (Read More)

What's been called the "War on Christmas" is often a case of secular liberals wanting to engage in Christmas denial.

The Super Bowl is well timed. It comes mid-winter, a month after our New Year's resolutions begin deflating, when the market is teetering, our finances are squeezed, and the collections agencies calling day and night.

Basically, can it be done?
Has it been done?
How was it achieved?
I am yet to be a live aboard with solar but I do know about amps and that is basically what your going to be breaking everything down to. Also it will depend on specific equipment as well, an old fridge box will run 80-120ah a day. A newer fridge box will run 30-60ah a day and that is if you actually run it all day. most people I know run them only part of the day to maintain the temp. Same thing for the computer. does it require a 1-4amp charger or a 8 amp. with careful planning and a good controller and battery bank there should be no reason you couldn't run it all on solar except for the lack of good sun.
But with that said there is some very awesome progress being made with hydro or tow alternators using some of the same advancements from wind alternators. So even without good sun you could have a way to charge a battery bank. In the event you have no sun or wind you can always follow the old latin rule "Destitutus ventis, remos adhibere"

These are some video clips of my recent trip to Havana, Cuba. I met some pretty amazing artists and musicians and wonderful people - both young and old. I hoped to capture the spirit of the Cuban people with this montage of video clips. I used mostly my Canon Vixia HV30 and a Canon SX30is.
I was inspired to make this video when I watched "Habana Vieja", vimeo.com/9896852 by Van Royko and with this one as well: "Cuban Color Temperature", vimeo.com/35693910 by Ezaram Vambe.
I am proud to report that my video was initially published in the online art journal, "aaduna", Volume 2, No. 3 in aaduna.org

Diocletian's Palace hotels
Diocletian`s Palace
Diocletian's Palace was once the intended retirement home for the Roman emperor Diocletian, built in the fourth century, but now it serves a very purpose. This once elaborate estate fell to disuse and then became occupied with residents and businesses. In the beginning, parts of the city were built within the palace and overflowed to form the city centre of Split. Enter Diocletian's Palace via the Gold, Silver, Iron, or Bronze gate. Though the businesses may be closed at times, you can stroll along the streets of the palace any time of night your day you desire.
- Admire the historic architecture of the City Museum of Split or learn about Split through the historic exhibits located within like.
- Explore the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, the site of the original mausoleum, that now boasts a granite sphinx, ornate décor, and a bell tower you can climb and see views of the city as well as the Adriatic Sea.
- Explore the arts and crafts businesses on the basement level of Diocletian's Palace and take home a few locally made souvenirs like stone craft, sea sponges, T-shirts, and olive oil from shops like Priska.
Regional buses transport travellers between Split and outlying areas, though local buses are available to take people to sights within the city. These buses can drop you near any of the hallowed gates at Diocletian's Palace, though walking is the only way to go about once inside. To get to Diocletian's Palace from far away, you may choose to travel via air, land, or water. The Adriatic Express provides boat taxi services. The Split Airport brings plane travellers close to the city centre, where the Palace is located. The train system provides a solid travel experience while presenting gorgeous scenic views.

Obergurgl: A blast from a past master
Obergurgl is a classic ski resort that also embraces the modern, says Roger Bray
Saturday 21 November 2009
As we speed up the mountain on one of Obergurgl's newly built, state-of-the-art chairlifts, conversation turns to the subject of marmot fat. There are lots of marmots up here, close to the border with Italy. In fact, we have been skiing over them, snug beneath the snow in their hibernation quarters.
Some elderly people in the Oetztal, the Tyrolean valley at whose head Obergurgl lies, swear by marmot fat. My guide, Gerd Falkner, tells me one man in his village of Umhausen drinks it every day, as a guard against all manner of ailments.
It reminds me of stories that goose dripping, smeared on the chest, keeps away colds. Except that marmot fat, says Gerd, smells much, much worse.
During the past 10 years or so, Obergurgl has invested heavily in improved facilities. Until the late Nineties, skiers and snowboarders had to catch a bus between the village and its satellite development, Hochgurgl, which is 220m higher. Now a gondola connects the two areas.
Perched at the 3,082m mark is Wormkugl, a new circular restaurant and vertiginous viewing platform. On clear days, you can look out over the glaciers, now diminished by global warming, where in 1931 the balloonist Professor Auguste Piccard and a colleague made an emergency landing after becoming the first people to reach the stratosphere.
In 2007, two more new gondolas, built at a cost of €25m, carried their first passengers. One of them, which replaced two chairlifts (the elder of which was a single seater dating from 1953) whisks visitors from the village centre at 1,930m Hohe Mut (2,670m) in seven minutes. At the top, a new lunch spot and bar has opened, designed with much use of aromatic pine. The other is the Schermerbahn, above Hochgurgl, which has heated seats.
Yet despite such advances, Obergurgl does not seem irredeemably divorced from the old rural Austria, or at least from Austria before package tourism became big business. Back then, everyone from the ski-school director to the rental shop owner would turn out at night to drink with awkward British beginners, with their ill-fitting boots, and skis so long that quick parallel turns were a distant dream.
Though you are now much more likely to be offered an exotic cocktail in its bars, locally distilled fruit Schnapps is still made in the area. And while the Hotel Edelweiss & Gurgl has a spa offering up-to-the-minute treatments and a transparent roof protecting you from the weather on the steps between its ski room and the lift base a few metres away, its publicity material prominently recalls that the hotel, in one form or another, has been welcoming guests since 1889.
Grouped around an attractive church, the main village centre remains compact. There are no garish signs of throbbing night life. The nearby resort of Sölden, in contrast, sprawls along the valley. On the way through it from Innsbruck airport, 75 minutes away, I pass a night spot advertising "Show Girls".
A quiet drink is more Obergurgl's style, though most guests also gravitate eventually to the raucous Nederhutte, whose abiding image is of well-lubricated après skiers jumping on to tables to sing along with the band before precariously skiing the final few hundred metres home, long after sundown.
The sense of tradition is heightened by the clientele. Generations of British skiers have come here. They make up about 30 per cent of the resort's visitors. The late Walter Ingham, founder of tour operator Inghams and a pioneer of winter-sports holidays, took his first party to Obergurgl in 1934. This continuity looks unlikely to be broken any time soon. In the bar of my hotel, I fell into conversation with a man who was there with his daughter and grandchild.
It follows that there are a fair few skiers of mature age and that the slopes, which are pleasant and varied but would generally hold no terrors for good intermediates, are free – at least on weekdays – of dangerous tearaways. This is not intended to make the terrain sound boring, however. While this is not skiing on the grand scale of, say, the larger French areas, there are lovely, broad, cruising runs – long enough to provide a work out and with trickier, narrower passages. Down towards the David Skihütte, there are delightful little diversions, cut between the trees.
There is excellent off-piste skiing to be had, too. Lunching on barley soup and Tiroler G'Rostl (traditionally pan-fried beef, sometimes with bacon, potatoes and caraway seeds) at a Hochgurgl restaurant in mid-December, with sunshine streaming through the windows, I watched enviously as an instructor prepared to take the top ski school group on a descent down the Konigstal through fresh snow. We were unable to follow as avalanche risk was high and my guide had not brought me an avalanche transceiver, but he compensated by finding some wonderful stretches of light, fresh powder, safely close to the pistes.
And because the slopes are relatively high, there are often good conditions in early and late season.
On the snow, of course, one is grateful for the advent of carving skis which – not least off-piste – make the sport so much less arduous than the cumbersome, two-metre-plus boards on which many of Obergurgl's older regulars learned. But off it, one is thankful that this is one resort where the past seems always present.

Dancing with the Seeds...
Is anyone else watching Dancing With the Stars? It's the only show I watch regularly right now. Who are you rooting for?
Did you see that tango this week? WOW!
Angel, swayin', steppin', and sowin'...
Thanks, PVick, I was beginning to feel guilty for watching television, when I shoould be SOWING! :o)
Yes, we're cheering for Drew and Cheryl, too. Although hubby keeps making me throw in a couple of votes for Stacey...imagine that. She's a natural, but Drew and Cheryl blew me away last week with that tango - I don't know how it can get better.
This season is so much better than the last, I just wish there was more dancing and less talking.
I wish people still danced. We took lessons (briefly) after we had our first baby - wow, it's great exercise! And wow, it's been a long time...
Hi, PVick!
That whole episode was hilarious, wigs and all! Yes, they were just incredible; they really deserved to win. (And I was glad they had replayed the "Thriller" paso doble, that's the episode I missed - awesome!)
Jerry was suddenly doing really well at the end, it was like he suddenly "got it", and could dance. Maybe he relaxed and decided to have fun. I don't know what happened with Stacey. That Saturday Night Fever thing - she didn't DO anything! I wonder if her partner threw the match...there was just nothing...
We taped almost every episode (Murphy's Law dictates that all efforts to do something on a regular basis must be thwarted; all phone calls, sick pets, screaming kids, house repairs, etc., must occur BETWEEN commercials...), so we (okay, *I*) could go back and analyze dances. I think the tango was still my favorite, that's the one running through my head :o)
When they finally handed Drew and Cheryl the trophy, I was actually let down - Oh, no! The show's OVER! Oh well, at least I have the tapes.
Here's hoping next year is even better! :o)
Hi singingcrk!
Oh, if you missed the "Thriller" one earlier, it's good they did it again. I loved that one!
I think Jerry was very surprised that he beat Stacey to the finals and decided to just go for the fun - he KNEW he wouldn't beat Drew!
I believe they said that Stacey was suffering with a bad heel/foot/ankle. Too bad, but that disco number was awful - especially when you've come to expect much more from her.
But I think all of them were so much better as the show went on, even if they got kicked off ..... ok, there were a few that stayed awful. LOL!
I know what you mean about feeling let down ... but you'll be able to watch the tapes, at least. I'm such a doof, I never thought about taping the shows. But the way things are these days, it'll probably be out on DVD in a few months.
Here's to next year -
Just tickles me!
