Vitarium Crumpet Mix
One day during the holidays we decided to have people over for brunch. We were having bacon and eggs but Mum also made some apple and oat muffins which weren't gluten free. I therefore decided to make up the Vitarium Crumpet Mix I had in the cupboard.
I made the crumpets the night before because you have to let them sit for 90mins. However you are supposed to toast them before you eat them so it didn't matter.
The crumpets were amazing, even the non coeliacs of the family said they tasted like crumpets. To prove how good they are – we gave one to my coeliac uncle without him knowing what it was and he guessed!
The mix is really easy to make up – and don't worry if the mixture froths up when you add the dry ingredients to the wet.
As suggested I used egg rings (which I sprayed before cooking each crumpet) which made it very easy and they come out looking great.
The mix makes a significant amount of crumpets and they can be frozen.

I love Vaseline! I always have a tub by my nightstand! I use vaseline on my lashes to soften them and condition them, a little pea size amount as an eye cream, on cuts, for my lips, all over moisturizer, dead ends, on rough elbows and knees, on my feet before bed, lip base for bright lipsticks, on my cuticles, mixed with a kool aid packet for a fun lipgloss, microwave a chocolate chip and some vaseline and once solidified it is a choco gloss,bad acne moisturizer,apply before spraying perfume to make it last longer, mix with sea salts for a scrub, tough eye makeup remover, add to eyeshadow for a glossy look, apply to cheeks for dewy skin, rub some on sides of nails beofre painting for a beautiful manicure, to help put on earrings,get off lash glue, and pretty much anything else you could think of. whew! my hands hurt!

good old vaseline! i always ALWAYS have one on my nightstand. every night before i go to bed, i put it on my lips and instantly my lips feel so moisturised. and every morning i wake up to super soft lips. and after i wash my face i put vaseline on my lips first and do my moisturiser and makeup etc, lipsticks go on so smoothly.
i love it, even in winter my lips are still soft and moisturised, thanks to vaseline.
i sometimes rub a tiny bit on the back of my hands as well when my hands are overly dry. it is just a really good all time fav product.

I love Vaseline! Used too, I applied Vaseline on my lashes and on my lash line every night before I went to sleep. My lashes grew, but barely.
Plus Vaseline is great for making ghetto lip gloss!Just take some eyeshadow (preferably loose eyeshadow) and some Vaseline. Stir the two together until well blended. Then apply it to your lips, and ta-daa! Homemade Lipgloss!
The best part about that is you can mix and match different shades until you find the one that works best for you. Also, if you stir loose face powder around with the Vaseline and eyeshadow pigments, I've found that it stays on better and can actually lighten up the colors a bit.
And as we all know, Vaseline makes a great wiener wetter ;)
As for lips (the ones on your face), Vaseline is a great ultra cheap alternative for a lip moisturizer! Apply it to your lips and then after awhile, your lips are well nourished!
Hope this helps!

I use Vaseline for
1] moisturising lips
2] putting around lashes before bed to wake up to longer and healthier looking lashes
3] getting rid of stubborn eye make up like mascara, just with fingers, no cotton needed
4] moisturising dry skin on face,body,dry cracked heels and dry nuckles
5] putting around hairline before dying hair so my skin doesn't stain
6] taming my eyebrows with a Vaseline and a brow brush
7] also makes it easier to pluck hair out with less pain
8] smoothing over a cut when im out and don't have a plaster
9] sealing split ends
10] conditioning dry nails
11] making it easier to put tight bangles onto the wrist
12] easing in earrings when piercing is abou to close up
I could go on and on...

Oh, Vaseline... What I'd do without you. <3.
Vaseline is the only thing that works for my lips and makeup removal. I haven't used it as a moisturizer yet, but I don't know if I will [--it's too convenient to use one product with spf, and skip a step].
What a versitile, genius product. I bet God is proud of humankind. :]

I am reviewing this because I use this for many beauty purposes.
1. I have some loose pigments which I mix in (berry colors) and they make the most fabulous color lipglosses which last a long time.
2. My grandmother who is 98 years old used vaseline around her eyes from the time she was 25 and still looks amazing.
3. Dry areas are easily moistured.
4. It is hypoallergenic moisturizer

Why am I looking at photos of mailboxes? Oh yeah - because there are motorcycles in front of them. I think I'd look at pictures of motorcycles in front of just about anything. Lots of nice photo ops in your area. I also envy guys who's wives will ride with them - I'd love that. Make sure you tell her that!
It challenges me to do a "heres is what you see on my favorite local ride". I'd go right now, but there is ice/snow on the streets today in the western suburbs of Detroit.
Keep the pictures coming and ride safe!.

Day 20 Tuesday 12/20/11
I decide I'm gonna go get some tags today, and pick up a present for the wife..I hooked up the portable XM radio for the day...then headed out to snag some tags...
along the way I stopped to check out these wheels..
For lunch I worked my way back to Shirley MA and the Airport diner. I had a very tasty chicken salad sammie with a very good bowl of corn chowder.
A quick stop at Best Buy for a nook for the wife than a ride home to get my youngest one off the bus. I load all the kids in the truck and head back to the mall for our annual photo...
yes, the lumberjack is my oldest (sophomore in college) and sitting on Santa's lap is my youngest (10 year old ) and sadly I think its the last year we will have someone believing in Santa in our house :(
Day 21 Wednesday 12/20/11
today I had planned on staying local. I also wanted to get a few of my rides winterized. Of course I would be snagging a few tags as well. One such tag was finding something with the letter O and I was riding the yellow duck to start off the day.
I needed to pick up some fuel stabilizer for the two bikes I wanted to put away today, so I stopped at our local Ducati Dealership.
I also picked up a few Christmas presents for Mrs OSJ while I was there..
no not the white VFR, although I know she would love that bike in our collection.
I rode back to my office and took out the little scrambler so I can get fill up the tank and run the stabil in it. I went for a different O
The rain started falling while I was eating my hot dog so I quickly rode back to the shop and put the little scrambler away for its winter nap. Fuel is treated, battery is plugged in and the tires are off the ground. Rest easy little guy!

Day 22 Thursday 12/22/11
I started a tag game a few years back with a mascot, his name is Dunkin Duck and he travels all over New England. See is first travel story here. I am in the process of putting together a website with all his travels
He has been in Maine for the past few months.
So I really couldn't let the little guy stay in Maine all winter, plus I wanted to check this place out for lunch. So I put up a quick post on the message board the night before about meeting me for lunch, and low and behold I got a few bikes behind me!
Ken on his Hog, and two generations of O'Neils on their beautiful red VFR's We all met up on 495 in the morning and took the slab all the way into Maine. Dunkin Duck was sitting at the entrance to Fort McCleary. It took a few minutes of looking around to find his hiding spot. Here he is posing for us once he was found!
With him safely tucked into my tank bag we made our way back south to Portsmouth. Just a short ride had us reach Gilly's lunch, where our other ridding buddy Richie was waiting for us. He was working today so he was stuck in the car.
We all piled into Gillys and placed our orders. Even DD was impressed.
After we stuffed our faces we said goodbye to Richie and hopped on the bikes and continued south.
We took some back roads to NH 33 than NH151 and that brought us down near a Ducati dealership I wanted to visit.
Great Bay Ducati and Triumph allways has a nice selection of machines to look at. Mike (AkA the Warrior) wanted me to pose with DD next to his all time favorite bike.
He said he is fine with the colour, actually I think its pretty cool too, I would never ride one, but remember that joke about large women and scooters???
OK, enough with that kind of talk! We fueled up right down the street then grabbed NH111 heading west. My original route had us taking a few other numbered roads like...121...111a..kinda zig zagging our way home via some nice twisty roads. But a quick look at the gps told me I wouldn't be home before 5:30 on that route. Mrs OSJ was going out with her girlfriend and I needed to be home a little earlier than that. So we stayed on 111 all the way to Hudson...oh was that painful! Way too many traffic lights and heavy traffic drove me nuts. Plus I didn't want to pressure Mike into doing something stupid so I didn't do any passing.
Once we crossed the Mighty Merrimac it got a little better. Some un numbered roads thru Dunstable, Groton and Shirley got us to our next stop right around 3:30.
Mrs OSJ sent me a txt and said I had time to have some coffee but try to be home by 5pm
Ken bought us all coffee's ( thanks Ken ) and we all got a chance to sign the little duck.
Jack and Mike headed home to Leominster and Ken followed me thru Lancaster to 117, where I cut thru some back roads up thru Sterling and home to West Boylston. So we had a very nice 200 mile ride on the first day of winter, got to enjoy lunch with some good friends and rescued my little Ducky pal from being outside during the holidays.
I plan on taking him out for some more rides before I find a new location for him..

day 24 Saturday 12/24/11
I figured these next two days would be very difficult to get some miles in. Christmas eve was always spent with Mrs OSJ's family. Usually at night, but this year the M-I-L changed things up with hosting a lunch time celebration.
we also had Dunkin Duck home for the holiday...he was helping Mrs OSJ make some yummies when she said, why don't you head out now and get your ride in.
So we suited up, warmed up the KLR and headed out.
Dunkin wanted to feel the wind in his feathers so I made a little spot for him up front.
we went for a short ride to find a train for a tag...
than quickly rode home to celebrate Christmas with the family.

day 26 Monday 12/26/11
The day after! I ate way too much the last few days, and we celebrated Christmas with my family last night, so it was a long night. Lots of fun, but very tiring...we all slept in late Monday. Well almost all of us, see Mrs OSJ always goes shopping on this day with her mom. Great deals on wrapping paper she always says..
what ever, I took advantage of a nice quiet morning and slept until 10am!
Mrs OSJ didn't get home until late afternoon, so I didn't get out for a ride until much later than planned. It was right around freezing when I headed out...
Its been awhile since I did a nice night ride. However I didn't stop for many photo's because of this. I did have Dunkin Duck along for the ride...
It was a great ride, spent a few hrs out just exploring the surrounding towns, I could have stayed out for hours but I didn't want to make Mrs OSJ nervous. I went home and figured out my miles so far for this month. 1,150 so far.

day 27 Tuesday 12/27/11
today was the day Dunkin was going to find a new spot to hang out and wait for another rider to pick him up.
I stopped at the shop to get some things before our ride.
We drove around together looking for some kind of landmark to leave him at....
Than after a few hrs of riding it was time for lunch.
Dunkin came in with me and I introduced him to the ladies, and they all said he was welcome to hang out with them.
So I walked around and found a nice secure spot for DD to hide. Come find him soon, and oh, I almost forgot there is a surprise in the bag so the first one that comes gets a special treat.
Here is how you find him.
Walk around the fence that is near the picnic tables.
In the outside corner you will notice a broken section of fence laying next to the fence. Where the two fences come together you will see a little gap. Dunkin is tucked down on the ground in between that gap. I put a small piece of wood over him.
After I left Dunkin (he was picked up the next day so don't go looking for him) I drove up a road I knew was a dead end but never been up before.
the top had towers everywhere..
there were allot of dirt roads that went off into the woods...I didn't have time to explore today but I will be back!
Dunkin Duck was back in play and I was getting closer to my goal of riding every day in December...1285 miles so far.

Day 28 Wednesday 12/28/11
Cold day today, not much planned, just wanted to get the ride in. Decided to take the duck out for its last ride of the year? The current tag was a historic fire house...Lancaster has one built in 88...1888 that is!
Then I needed to find a motorcycle off limits sign..the state of MA has plenty of these all around our area. When I was a kid we rode our dirt bikes and ATVs all over this dirt roads.
Some of them are old railroad beds converted to walking trails
1,325 miles so far!

Day 29 Thursday 12/29/11
Short ride today to snag the Wild Card tag on the ADV message board. Planned on spending the day with the family at the mall than off to the movies to see "We bought a Zoo" which btw was a great flick. The tag was a church bell, and I replaced it with the barn photo..only 2 pics today
center of Princeton MA...
That is the Otis bell...the other church has a Paul Revere bell
Now go find a barn with some type of LARGE advertisement..either the name of the farm (like this)
or some thing else...must be large and plainly visible from the road.

day 30 Friday 12/30/11
Mystery Friday! Today was going to be another family day. We plan these mystery days all the time with the kids. They have no idea where we are going or what we will do, they just need to be ready when we tell them to be. Sometimes we plan over night trips but mostly they are day trips.
I get out for a quick ride down the road to snag a photo of the Old Stone Church at the shore of the Wachusett Reservoir
When the Wachusett Reservoir was completed, this impressive Old Stone Church remained standing as the last remnant of the town which was once in the valley, but was now flooded by the new reservoir.
Once back at home we loaded up the car with the kids and headed west. Mrs OSJ had seen this episode of Best thing I ever ate...messy and wanted to try that bread!
https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150832249210627 Sorry could only find the video on Face book, I'm guess you will need to be signed in to view it...While your there you can also friend request me (search New England Sport Touring) so that was our first stop of the day.
After we got our bread we parked in downtown Stockbridge, West Stockbridge, Lee and Lenox and spent the beautiful day walking around the towns. We took the back roads home and stopped at several antique shops along the way. It was a great day for sure.

EDC Vice Chairman Elizondo resigns
Organization needs change of guard, he says
Joe Elizondo has resigned as vice chairman of the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corp., telling Mayor Henry Garrett in a resignation letter Thursday that the organization needs "a changing of the guards."
"I have focused for many years on leadership and I feel the need to act in that regard," Elizondo, owner of Greenwood Door Co., told Garrett in the letter. "Succession planning is a critical part of leadership development. It is time for a new, younger group to emerge -- a changing of the guards."
As vice chairman, Elizondo was in line to become the board's next chairman. The group is charged with attracting new industries through economic incentives and other assistance. A recent change in bylaws shortened the term for chairman and immediate past chairman from two years to one.
Elizondo's resignation caught the board chairman and Garrett by surprise.
"I had no idea he was even thinking about this and I have no clue why he did it," Garrett said. "It is a surprise to me because he has been a real strong member of the (board) for as long as I can remember. He was part of the process for many years and was always in attendance at the meetings."
Chairman Ed Martin, CEO of Bay Ltd., said he too was caught by surprise. Roland Mower, president and CEO of the group, declined to comment on Elizondo's resignation and referred questions to Martin.
"I haven't talked to him about this," Martin said, "but I remember talking to him when he was appointed vice chair and he was so excited about that, so I don't know why he resigned."
Elizondo, a board member for four years, said he plans to devote more time to his family and business. Greenwood Door, at 115 N. Alameda St., recently acquired contracts with a company in California and he plans to expand his business.
Elizondo said he felt his ideas emphasizing downtown development may not have been supported by the board.
"As chairperson I would have personally taken the initiative to improve the downtown area by converting it to a French Riviera-style city, with a San Antonio Riverwalk-style downtown and with the conversion of the Memorial Coliseum into a casino area," he said.
Martin said he had never discussed Elizondo's future plans and was not aware of how the board would approach them because they were never brought before the board.
Elizondo was appointed to the board by the City Council in December 2006. Five members of the board are appointed by the city, three are appointed by the Port of Corpus Christi and the remaining members are appointed by the membership. The City Council will appoint Elizondo's replacement.
Elizondo recommends developer/commercial property owner Leon Loeb, Loeb's son David or banker Ed Lopez with First Community Bank as possible replacements for his board seat. Elizondo also recommended Omar Garcia, a former Economic Development Corp. staff member who now is employed with the San Antonio Economic Development Department.
"I put in my time and though I know some people were surprised by my decision, I think it's the best thing to do," he said.
At the organization's August board meeting, Elizondo was selected as vice chairman and David Engel was selected as treasurer for the remainder of 2007. Elizondo was expected to succeed Martin as chairman in 2008.

Practical Considerations in the Design of Music Systems Using VLSI
Inexpensive electronic keyboard instruments have been made possible by the use of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI). A typical system uses a fully custom VLSI -sound chip- which is under the control of a general-purpose microprocessor. This paper examines the tradeoffs involved in the design of a digital sound chip used in a commercial system. Two approaches to digital oscillator architecture are evaluated in light of the special limitations of LSI.

Senator advocates easier absentee ballot process
A state legislator wants to make it easier for Virginians who can't go to the polls on Election Day to obtain an absentee ballot.
Sen. John C. Miller, D-Newport News, has proposed that voters be able to request and receive an absentee ballot by email. They still would have to return the completed ballot by regular mail or by hand.
Currently, only voters who are in the military or are overseas can use email to request and receive an absentee ballot from Virginia election officials.
During the General Assembly's 2012 regular session, Miller sponsored a bill to allow any registered voter to use email to apply for an absentee ballot.
Under Senate Bill 188, if election officials approve the application, they could email the voter an absentee ballot. The voter then would print out the ballot, mark his or her choices, and submit it by regular mail.
SB 188 passed the Senate but failed in a House subcommittee. Miller says he'll push for it again next year.
"In Virginia, you cannot be emailed the ballot," Miller noted. Instead, election officials must send absentee ballots by snail-mail. That's expensive, wastes paper and requires a lot of employees, the senator said.
"It costs $1 for each absentee ballot sent out," Miller said. "We could save half a million by using electronic applications." (In the 2008 presidential election, about 507,000 Virginians voted absentee.)
Certain state officials aren't the only people clamoring for the General Assembly to make it easier to vote absentee.
In February, members of the Student Government Association at Virginia Commonwealth University presented their legislative priorities to state lawmakers. Student leaders also were in favor of SB 188.
"This bill will provide Virginians with easier access to absentee ballots and therefore easier access to voting in all elections," said Tiffini Smith, an SGA officer. "It would allow military families and college students to receive absentee ballots electronically, which is vital to getting a greater and better represented response in elections."
Many states go much further than Virginia is contemplating in accommodating absentee voting. In Colorado, Mississippi and a dozen other states, voters can actually cast absentee ballots by email, according to the Federal Voting Assistance Program's website.
In Mississippi, for example, voters can email their absentee ballot "as a signed, scanned attachment" to election officials.

Landscape fragmentation due to urban development, transportation infrastructure, and agriculture poses a threat to environmental integrity. There is a need to quantify the level of landscape fragmentation in an ecologically meaningful way for inclusion in planning and decision-making. Effective mesh size (meff) is an ecologically relevant metric that quantifies landscape fragmentation based on the probability that two randomly chosen points in a region are located in the same non-fragmented patch.

The last-minute Cincinnati Bengals pulled one out in extra time.
Shayne Graham's 31-yard field goal _ set up by Carson Palmer's 15-yard run on fourth down _ on the last play of overtime gave the Bengals a 23-20 win over the winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Not wanting to settle for a tie, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis gambled and decided to go for it on 4th-and-11 from the 41 with 1:04 remaining. Palmer dropped back to pass and then tucked it away and scampered up the middle for the first down. Cincinnati ran two plays to get Graham in position, and the kicker, who had an extra point and field goal blocked, drilled it through the uprights.
The Bengals (3-1) have had all four games come down to the wire. They beat the defending Super Bowl champion Steelers last week by the identical 23-20 score when Palmer threw a 4-yard TD pass with 14 seconds to go.
The Browns (0-4) lost their 10th straight dating to last season. Quarterback Derek Anderson sparked Cleveland in his start this season, throwing one TD pass and running for another.

Galvin Green's new Aron jacket designed with Gore-Tex technology
Monday, January 12, 2015
Galvin Green's new Aron jacket was designed by golfers for golfers. This full-zip, stretch-fabric, shell-layer jacket features Gore-Tex Paclite Technology.
The Aron jacket contains more than 1.4 billion microscopic pores, which are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet but 700 times larger than a water-vapor molecule. Thus, the Gore-Tex membrane is completely waterproof from the outside, while allowing perspiration to escape the inside. The jacket is also windproof and breathable.
"By using even thinner taping in the inside, we could reduce the total weight of the jacket by another 10 percent," said Mats Lundqvist, Galvin Green's chief designer.
The jacket comes with "rain channels" at the sleeve-ends, to lead water away from the hands. It also has adjustable chest width, bottom edge and sleeve-ends.
Sizes range from S-XXXL, and comes in five colors. Cost: $460

|Tom Brady attending President Bush's State of the Union address in 2004
In the aftermath of the release of the Ted Wells report, commissioned by the NFL on " Deflate Gate", the hatred and vitriol expressed by the national news and sports media has raised eyebrows, particularly in New England, as well as many questions.
Some of the questions that Rush Limbaugh pondered out loud during his nationally broadcast radio program the day following the report's release, were profound, to say the least.
Was it a conspiratorial plot launched within the offices of the NFL in conjunction with the Patriots opponent in the NFL championship game? Was it a belated reaction to the Spy Gate scandal that many in the media as well as throughout the NFL felt had never been dealt with properly, believing Bill Belechick should have been suspended? Or was it insane theories that such compulsions to cheat were so ingrained in the Patriots organization that even the latest Superbowl victory involved intercepting radio signals that led to the game winning interception at the goal line.
Even though such speculations sound as absurd as believing the Bush administration was behind the attacks on 9/11, Rush explained they are actual ideas that can be heard from fans of other teams, players and coaches in the NFL, and members of the sports media.
One of the questions that Rush pointed out that has received little attention in the media thus far is political in nature.
The unequivocal chorus of accusations of "cheating" and irrational hostility following a report that didn't use the word cheating a single time caused Limbaugh to speculate that "something else must be going on, including retribution for having the wrong political views, due in large part to Brady's absence from the recent field trip to the Obama White House, where the President himself shocked the team by reciting "deflate gate jokes", probably written by White House press secretary, Josh Earnest.
Earnest had already nailed Brady with a vicious and tasteless joke at a recent press briefing. It was that joke which may have been the real reason Brady didn't accept the invite, and not his reported commitment to a family event. The fact is he was spotted at Gillette Stadium the day the team was in Washington, so nice try Tom.
On page 228 the report concludes: "In sum, the data did not provide a basis for us to determine with absolute certainty whether there was or was not tampering, as the analysis of such data ultimately is dependent upon assumptions and information"
Limbaugh further expounded by saying: "That's like an asterisk saying: "We don't know whether anything we've said here is true, because the data doesn't provide a basis for us to determine with absolute certainty."
So how does that lead to the conclusion that Brady cheated? Answer: It doesn't. So as Rush logically states and I agree: "There must be something else going on here.
Rush also believes they could be irked by Brady's get together with renowned Obama hater, Steve Whyn in Las Vegas, following his much publicized chartered flight to the Kentucky Derby with a group of his buds.
It certainly seems plausible to this proud Rush Limbaugh ditto head and New England Patriot's fan as he sips his coffee from one of his prize possessions, a bright red coffee mug with the New England Patriots logo on it.
Go Pats. Go Rush. Go Tom Brady.
Please don't roll over and let these Patriot haters in the NFL office and throughout the league destroy you. Fight back.
If the league comes down harshly. Appeal and appeal and appeal. Insist that the 66 interviews that were not included in the report be made public and examined further. Use the scientific data on atmospherics obtained in the report commissioned by the Patriots when the NFL first revealed the results of their abominable sting operation that allowed the NFL championship game to be played when they were fully aware, not only that the Patriots game balls were underinflated but that three of the Indianapolis Colts balls were underinflated as well, an important piece of information that was relegated to a footnote in the report.
Have your representatives insist to Commissioner Goodall that all those in the league office, who had knowledge before hand of the accusations being made against the Patriots be investigated, and have them take as much time as it took to determine that Tom Brady's general awareness of an effort to keep the balls down to the legal limit of 12.5 PSI when refs were routinely pumping them up to 16 PSI was only "probable", not conclusive.
And if after he does that, the Commissioner still wants to suspend one of the greatest quarterbacks and surefire Hall of Fame candidate in NFL history so be it. But if he does I would like to be a fly on the wall when Roger Goodall explains to the President of NBC why the starting quarterback for the Superbowl champions on opening day in FoxBorough this year will be a kid named Jimmy Garoppolo, and not Tom Brady.

Mammoth Lakes Travel Tips
If you're searching for a year-round paradise nestled onto a mountainside, look no further than Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Mountain in California. This four-season piece of heaven suits everyone's interests.
Mammoth Lakes features more than 100 lakes and streams and is known for it's stellar trout fishing. The miles of trails and wilderness areas provide exceptional locations for unbeatable sight seeing and physical activity. Rock climbers will love the thrilling peaks, while water lovers can head out in a kayak. There are also opportunities for hikers, bikers and horseback riders.
In the colder months, Mammoth Mountain is a spectacular Californian locale for skiing. The area receives an unusually large amount of snowfall, making it ideal for skiers and snowboarders alike.
Cold Weather Things to Do
- Mammoth Mountain Ski Area: When the weather gets cold, the favorite activity to partake in at Mammoth Mountain is skiing at the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. It's the highest ski resort in California and known for its serious snowfall. There are more than 3,500 acres of terrain to ski on serviced by lifts, including three gondolas. At the top of the mountain, you'll find challenging chutes and open mogul runs. There are also eight unbound terrain parks. The ski area is a top spot for professionals to practice and compete on the Super Pipe and the Super-Duper Pipe.
- Woolly's Tube Park and Snowplay Area: For some action the whole family can get in on, head to Woolly's Tube Park and Snowplay Area. There are six tubing lanes for a downhill adventure as well as outdoor heaters and hot cocoa to keep you warm. After tubing, build a snowman, ride sleds or hop on the merry-go-round.
- Snowmobiling: If you consider yourself a bit of a speedster, try your hand at snowmobiling. Head off the beaten path and zoom around the thousands of acres of pristine backcountry. Everyone from beginners to experts can take a turn on these exciting machines.
- Cross country skiing: If downhill is not your thing, try cross country skiing instead. You'll find a calmer atmosphere and 19 miles of perfect scenery for this sport, as well as skating and snowshoeing. Enjoy the tranquil setting as you listen to birds chirp while you glide through the snow. All your stress will simply melt away.
- Mammoth Mountain Resort Spa: With all of the physical activity and outdoor adventures, you're sure to need a day of pampering and relaxation. Book the works at the Mammoth Mountain Resort Spa. A massage will soothe muscles tired and tightened from all of the skiing and other sporting activities. A licensed therapist will work out all your knots and kinks, leaving you refreshed and rejuvenated. A pedicure will spruce up your feet and toes as you relax, and a facial will moisturize your wind-blown skin, leaving it looking healthy and radiant.
Warm Weather Things to Do
- Gondola ride: For the most amazing bird's eye view you'll find in the area, take a ride to the summit of Mammoth to 11,053 feet. Take in the 360-degree sights of more than 400 miles of high altitude peaks. Don't forget your camera, as you'll certainly want to capture the scenery.
- Horseback riding: For animal and nature lovers, plan an afternoon of horseback riding. You'll feel like a real cowboy, or girl, as you swing up into the saddle and prepare to mosey down the less?-traveled paths to see more natural beauty. Keep an eye out for local wildlife as you go by! Whether you want to gallop or just clip along at a leisurely pace, there are options for everyone.
- Mammoth Mountain Bike Park: Mammoth Mountain Bike Park offers more than 80 miles of cross-country single tracks and exhilarating downhills. This is the biggest bike park in the West, allowing for terrain to suit every ability, from beginners to experts.
- Mammoth Mountain Adventure Center: If it's a place for serious family fun you're looking for, you'll find it at Mammoth Mountain Adventure Center. It's the perfect spot to have an adventure as you take in glorious views. There are tons of kids activities to occupy the little ones in addition to a variety of hiking trails for a lovely walk when you need some fresh air. If you're hungry, there are plenty of eateries around serving delicious flavors.

"Verona" Verona by Goner
Verona Travel Guide: 1,763 reviews and 4,536 photos
Verona is in the Viento Region of Italy and and is the second largest city after Venice. It's a busy trading center and one of the most prosperous cities in northern Italy. The main attractions in Verona are the Roman arena and the colorful marketplace in Piazza Erbe. There are also several churches to see in Verona, the most important being the church of San Zeno Maggiore.
The Scaligeri family ruled Verona for 127 years which started in 1263. They were a ruthless lot and established their rule with an iron hand. They have left their legacy in the many ornate tombs in Castelvecchio, an impressive castle built between 1355 and 1375. Castelvecchio also houses fine art galleries.
There is much to see in Verona and my three-hour visit only touched the surface of this "Jewel of Italy". The photo shows the Adige River winding through the city.
- Pros:A Wonderful Surprise!
- Cons:Was Only There for Three Hours
- In a nutshell:A Special Italian City with So Much Charm

Leadership Development: Reflection Rather Than Training? (2)
He argues that just because someone goes through an experience, it does not mean that they have learnt from that experience.

The point is amplified by Velsor and Guthrie: Continue reading "Leadership Development: Reflection Rather Than Training? (2)"
Leadership Development: Reflection Rather Than Training?
Drawing on Conger's (1996) and Burgoyne et al.'s (2004) concerns about the efficacy of leadership training, and linked to Day (2000) and Drath's (1998) argument for leadership development to be oriented towards social systems, should formal leadership development emphasize education more than training?

Leadership: Need for Contextualization
Various reviews of leadership best practice (James & Burgoyne, 2001; Fulmer & Wagner, 1999; Conger, 2004) have highlighted that although there are a number of dominant themes common to organizations perceived as offering best practice, the emphasis is towards contextualization.

Leadership Development: an Act of Faith? (2)
The lack of empirical evidence on leadership development emphasizes significant question marks on the efficacy of interventions and the return on the organizational investment (Moxley, 1998; and more recently by Burgoyne et al., 2004). Continue reading "Leadership Development: an Act of Faith? (2)"
Leadership Development: an Act of Faith?
The final theme explores four interrelated issues. The first examines whether leadership development can be measured or whether it is simply best understood as an act of faith. The second theme explores the essential need to contextualize any form of intervention if any progress is to go beyond the act of faith. Continue reading "Leadership Development: an Act of Faith?"
Key Lessons of Learning Leadership Experience (7)
Further, Conger (1993) argues for an organized approach and believes that too much leadership development has occurred in a 'haphazard process' (1993: 46), with little intentionality, accountability or evaluation (ibid.). Drawing these notions of development together, an equation is offered (McCauley et al., 1998: 223): Continue reading "Key Lessons of Learning Leadership Experience (7)"

For example, work by Avolio and Luthans (2006) identified the importance of 'trigger moments', Bennis and Thomas (2002) highlighted 'transformative experiences' that shifted an individual's identity, and Janson (2008) identified the significance of 'leadership formative experiences' – often attached to emotional incidents.
