Top 10 Questions asked about the "First Day"
1. How safe is skiing?
Statistically, skiing or snowboarding is no more hazardous than bicycling or tennis. It used to be though, in the days of long, stiff wood skis, non-support boots and non-release bindings. Now, with modern equipment such as fiberglass skis, high-support plastic boots and release bindings, skiing is much safer.
2. What will it cost?
Skiing, snowboarding, and tubing is not as expensive as you think. You can ski on a budget and spend a lot of time on the slopes. Whether it's at a local area for a few hours or longer for a ski vacation. Ski equipment can be rented, and as for clothing, you probably already have clothes which could double as a ski outfit. Most Pennsylvania areas do however have great "starter" packages to help you learn and save money. Check out our Deals section for more details.
3. How long will it take to be able to ski or ride?
Just in your first day, you'll learn how to turn, slow down, stop and ride the lifts. Generally, if you are trying skiing for the first time, you should be able to do quite a bit on your first day. Snowboarding is a bit more difficult the first time. However, the learning curve is much easier after just a few tries. With today's modern teaching methods, you can be past the beginner stage after four or five lessons, which means you can ski 50% of the ski trails in the United States and possibly 100% at many of the Pennsylvania Ski Areas.
4. Do I have to be in shape?
You don't have to be an athlete to ski. Today, modern equipment does most of the work for you. If you do some exercises before your first ski experience, you will enjoy it more. First of all, you'll learn faster, because you won't tire so easily during the learning process. You're going to fall down some while learning so you'll bounce back better if you're in shape. Walking briskly, jogging, jumping rope, or stretching are great ways to prepare for a day on the slopes.
5. What kind of Facilities should I expect?
Every ski area, whether a day (no lodging) or destination (lodging) area, has the same basic facilities:
* A mountain with ski lifts to transport skiers to the top.
* Trails of varying difficulty to ski back to the bottom.
* A base lodge with food service, restrooms, ticket window, ski school, and Patrol.
* Parking lot.
* At the mountain or nearby are ski and rental shops, and, if a resort area, lodging, restaurants, bars, shops and services.
6. How should I dress for different temperatures? How can I find out the conditions before I go?
Every ski resort publishes a "conditions" report or a "ski report." Usually it's done daily and gives you a summary of the temperatures, trails open, lifts running, weather conditions, and more.
Here's some clothing tips to keep in mind for different temperatures:
40° AND ABOVE - TORSO: turtleneck or shirt or T-shirt, plus wind shirt or light jacket. LEGS: pants only. HEAD/FACE: light hat or none. HANDS: light gloves or liners. FEET: light socks. Put lift ticket on a garment that will not be removed.
28° TO 40° - TORSO: turtleneck or shirt plus medium parka or jacket. LEGS: long johns and pants; or pants and warm-ups; or bib ski pants. HEAD/FACE: light or medium hat. HANDS: medium gloves or wool mittens. FEET: light socks.
15° TO 28° - TORSO: turtleneck, light sweater, and medium to heavy parka or jacket. LEGS: thermal long johns and heavy pants; or medium pants and warm-ups; or long johns and bib ski pants. HEAD/FACE: medium to heavy hat. HANDS: heavy gloves or wool mittens with liners. FEET: medium socks.
5° TO 15° - TORSO: turtleneck, shirt, medium sweater or vest, plus heavy parka or jacket. LEGS: thermal long johns, pants and warm-ups; or thermal long johns and bib ski pants. HEAD/FACE: heavy tight-knit hat that covers ears and forehead. HANDS: heavy gloves or heavy wool mittens with liners. FEET: wool socks.
5° AND BELOW - TORSO: thermal undershirt, turtleneck, shirt, heavy sweater or vest, plus heavy parka or jacket. LEGS: heavy thermal long johns, heavy pants and warm-ups; or heavy thermal long johns and bib ski pants. HEAD/FACE: salve on face. Face mask or scarf and neck gaitor over mouth and nose. Goggles to cover eyes. Heavy tight-knit hat that covers ears and forehead. HANDS: heavy gloves with liners or heavy wool mittens with liners and windproof shell. FEET: wool socks. Keep boots loose to aid circulation. If windy, add another layer to torso. No exposed flesh on head. Add hood to parka if available.
7. Should I take a Lesson?
Did someone teach you how to drive? Of course, it's the easiest way to learn the "rules of the road." Most ski areas have a beginner's area with a wide, gentle slope and a beginner's lift. At the bottom of the slope, your Snow Pro will introduce himself and familiarize you with your equipment. During the first lesson you will learn how to walk, maneuver and control your skis by turning, slowing down and stopping. When you are ready, the Snow Pro will show you how to ride the beginner's lift and will ski down the beginner's slope with you. After your lesson you can continue practicing what you've already learned.
After you have mastered the fundamental skills of skiing (turning, slowing down, stopping and riding a lift), you'll be able to explore other trails while you practice what you've learned. Keep to the "Easier"' trails which are marked with green circles. There will be signs so marked at the beginning of the trail.
8. Is there a Glossary of ski, snow, and weather terms I should know?
Alpine skiing: Downhill skiing.
Apres-ski: The night life following a day on the slopes.
Base: The bottom of the mountain where the lodge is situated, or the average depth of snow on a mountain.
Base snow: That cumulative depth of snow (old snow or snow pack) that resides on the ground excluding new surface cover. It usually is measured following snowfalls and thaws at the base and near the summit. Base depths and new snow measurements are usually given in a range, with the first figure representing average depths or accumulation at the base and the second figure indicating measurements at the summit.
Bindings hold your boots to the skis and are designed to release when you need them to during a fall. Many bindings also have vibration-reducing features that allow you to ski more smoothly. Your ability and weight will determine the binding you choose.
Bunny slope: The most gently sloping hill on the mountain, usually used to teach beginners.
Carving: Making turns on the ski or snowboard with the edges cutting into the hill.
Catching an edge: Not so good. A fall or near-fall where the edge of your ski or snowboard digs into the snow, usually catching an indentation made by another skier.
Catching some air: Going fast enough to have both skis or the snowboard off the snow after riding over a small hill or mogul.
Corn snow: Loose ice-like granules the size of corn kernels which are usually the product of the above/below freezing cycle of temperatures typical of Spring days.
Cruising: Making a long run at an easy speed.
"DIN": The retention setting on bindings are measured in "DIN," which stands for Deutsche Industrie Norm. In general, the higher your weight and skiing ability, the higher the DIN setting. Have a ski shop technician determine and set your DIN for you.
Fall line: The straightest and steepest line down any slope. One you'll likely take if you fall.
Freezing rain: Rain which does not freeze until it makes contact with the ground. Ground temperatures are sufficiently cold enough to allow the falling rain to freeze on contact.
Frostbite: Extremely cold temperatures reduce the blood flow to body extremities and surface tissue resulting in a lack of feeling (numbness) and epidermal tissues turning white.
Frozen granular: A hard surface of old snow formed by granules freezing together after warm temperatures or by the granules freezing together after a rain. A surface that is less hard than ice and which will support a ski pole stuck into it.
Gaper: A skier who pauses to take in the scenery. They get their name from the gap between their hat and goggles.
Granular surface: Snow that has been groomed and is not fresh powder. The surface looks like millions of little, snow pellets.
Green circles, blue squares and black diamonds: The markings used to indicate the difficulty of a mountain's slopes. Greens are easiest, blues moderate or intermediate and blacks advanced. A double black diamond indicates the toughest run. Be aware that designations are for that particular mountain; a blue run at Aspen is not necessary as easy or as tough as a blue run at Mad River. They also differ on each mountain.
Hypothermia: A serious, potentially fatal condition that occurs when a person has been cold for so long that he has lost the ability to rewarm himself. This happens when all the "stored energy" is used up with nothing left to keep body temperature at a safe level. A person becomes unable to take care of himself properly and frequently does not even know that he is in trouble. Symptoms: violent shivering, loss of coordination, speech garbled, general appearance of being "out of it."
Ice: A hard, glazed surface usually created by freezing rain or large quantities of rain or old surface snow melting and quickly refreezing again. Also a very wet surface skied into a smooth surface while above-freezing temperatures are existent and then rapidly dropping temperatures occur. When broken it breaks into chunks rather than granules.
Loose granular: Loose granules formed after powder snow thaws, refreezes and crystallizes; or, an accumulation of sleet. Also may be produced by machine grooming of frozen granular or icy surfaces.
Machine snow: Very fine crystals of snow produced when atomized water, which is sprayed into the air by a snowmaking 'gun', freezes and falls to the ground as snow. Depending on temperature, humidity, type of snowmaking system and type of snow desired, machine snow can be either dry or wet.
Mashed potatoes: Wet, heavy snow.
Measure up-Skis are measured in centimeters (cm). Your ski length will depend on your ability, height and weight. A shop employee will help you decide on the appropriate length.
Milk run: The first run of the day.
Moguls: The mounding of snow into multiple bumps all over the trails by continuous rhythmic turns made in the same spot over a period of time.
New Snow: The new fallen snow which has not yet settled into the existing snow base. It is measured at the base and near the summit.
Off-trails: In most cases, probably where you shouldn't be.
Packed powder: Loose powder snow compacted by skier traffic or mechanical apparatus to a state which leaves little air space between particles. Also may be produced by dry machine-made snow.
Parabolic (also called shaped) skis: Also called hourglass skis or shaped skis. Allowing strong intermediate skiers to ski like experts, and beginners to make those pretty turns sooner. They promise speed and control, responding to the slightest pressure.
Poles are used to help you with your balance and rhythm while skiing. Poles can be made from fiberglass, aluminum, graphite or some combination of these materials. Poles are measured in inches.
Powder: New snow generally of a dry and fluffy consistency. (Will not make a snowball easily.)
Schussing: Skiing straight downhill, often in a full tuck position. Not permitted.
Ski boots come in traditional American sizes and also "mondo point," which is simply the length of the boot in centimeters.
* When trying on boots, wear one pair of medium-weight or light-weight socks.
* The fit should be snug and your heel should remain in place when you flex your knee and ankle forward into the boot.
* Your toes should barely touch the inside of the boot and then, when you bend your knee forward, your toes should slide back slightly.
* Make sure there aren't any pressure points or spots that pinch your feet and legs.
* Remember, the boots will stiffen in the cold.
Sleet: Solid, crystallized pellets with angular or round surfaces (as opposed to soft flakes of snow) which often fall when warm and cold air collide.
Snowplow: Often the first technique a beginner learns. The front tips of the skies are almost touching as the back tips are bowed outward, creating friction and helping with balance and control. Even advanced skiers use the technique at the beginning of runs while they put on gloves or adjust goggles.
Wet granular: Loose or frozen granular snow which has become wet and soft from a thaw or from rainfall. Provides a delightful skiing surface.
Wet snow: Powder snow that is wet when it falls (you can easily make a snowball) or dry powder or packed powder that becomes wet because the temperature rises above freezing or is dampened by rain.
White-out: A sudden gust of wind kicking up the snow's surface. A gust so dense as to obscure vision.
Wind Chill: The cooling power of the wind and temperature on exposed flesh expressed as an equivalent of temperature in still air.
Windpack: Dry powder snow driven and packed hard by the wind so that it becomes hard enough to partially support a skier.
Yard sale: A wipeout fall in which skis, poles, hat, etc. end up strewn along the mountainside.
9. What are the basics I need to know before using a Lift?It is recommended that you take a lesson or get help from a Ski Resort associate before attempting to ride one for the first time. The majority of ski lifts in this country are chairlifts (1,2,3 or 4 passenger) with the remainder comprising of gondolas, trams and surface lifts (T-bars, Pomalifts, J-bars, and rope tows).
Here are some basic rules for riding all ski lifts:
1. Obey all loading and other instructions on lifts.
2. Do not use a lift until you are familiar with its operation. Read the instruction signs. Watch and learn. Ask if you are in doubt.
3. Slow down before approaching the entrance to a lift.
4. Load and unload only at designated areas.
5. Be polite and courteous at the loading area. Wait your turn, try to keep off other people's skis, and double or triple up for chairlifts or T-bars.
6. Have your lift ticket or season pass visible to the ticket checker or lift operator so you do not hold up the line.
7. On chairlifts, keep your ski tips or snowboard up as you leave the loading area and upon approaching the unloading ramp.
8. If you fall while getting on or off the lift, keep your head down and crawl quickly out of the way.
9. Do not bounce, ski out of the track, or otherwise abuse lift equipment. You may cause injury to yourself or others.
10. Make sure no loose clothing or long hair is caught in lift when unloading.
11. Move quickly away from unload areas to make room for the next skiers.
12. If a lift stops, do not attempt to get off. Remember, if there is a mechanical problem, area personnel will provide assistance.
13. Take special precautions to help small children load and unload. Do not allow them to ride a lift alone until they can do so properly. You are responsible for your children and their actions.
10. What suggestions can you give me to get on or off a lift?
Loading Instructions
1. Straps off wrists.
2. Hold poles in inside hand.
3. Step quickly into position.
4. Look over outside shoulder, grasp bar as chair approaches and sit down gently. ON TRIPLE AND QUAD CHAIRS: middle skiers should grasp back of chair as it approaches. Sit down gently.
5. Do not bounce or swing.
Unloading Instructions
1. Stand up at designated point and ski down the incline.
2. Move quickly away from moving chair and keep unloading area clear.
Loading Instructions
1. Remove straps from wrists.
2. Hold poles in outside hand.
3. Step quickly into position.
4. Look over inside shoulder, grasp tow and hold on.
5. Do not sit down or lean back!
Riding Instructions
1. Flex knees.
2. Keep skis in the track.
3. Do not sit down or lean back!
4. Get off only at designated area.

Why do So Many People Love Skiing and Snowboarding?
* Skiing and snowboarding is fun -- an exciting change from daily routines and pressures.
* Each time you ski or snowboard there's a new challenge to meet and a new accomplishment to take pride in.
* Skiing and snowboarding puts you in a mountain environment of astonishing beauty. You feel healthy, happy and alive.
* Alpine skiing and snowboarding is a very personal experience. You can change the way you ski or ride to match your feelings and the mood of the mountain.
* It turns winter into an enjoyable time of the year.
* A beginner can enjoy skiing or snowboarding right from the start, experiencing the same challenges and rewards as the accomplished skier or snowboarder.
* No two runs are the same because of the infinite variables of mountain terrain, weather, snow conditions and your own feelings.
* It's a great way to meet new friends and for family and friends to grow closer together.
* Alpine skiing and snowboarding is an expression of freedom, creativity and independence.
* It continually challenges the human spirit.
Suggestions For The First Visit
Don't worry, you are not the only beginner on the slopes! Believe it or not, Pennsylvania ski areas have designed their facilities and programs for people just like you. Make sure to look over the Resort Info and Map areas of our website. Both will help you get accustomed to where to go and what to do on your first visit.
Everyone learns at different paces. It is important to keep your expectations reasonable. This way both you and your children will have a successful and rewarding on the snow experience. Some factors that can affect learning to ski or snowboard include your temperament (how open you are to new things), age, and physical ability. Both skiing and snowboarding take specialized skills that improve with practice over time. Ultimately, your expectation's for you or your kids should focus on the fun and excitement of the overall experience.
Things to Bring
Well, no surprise here but clothes that will keep you warm and dry. And that's really important if you end up falling a couple of times. We do not recommend cotton clothing (jeans and a sweatshirt) it becomes wet, then cold. What's great is that you probably have most of what you need. If you don't, just borrow some from friends.
Layer Up
The best way to dress for winter is to wear layers. This gives you more flexibility to add or remove layers, depending on the weather and your activity. Turtleneck shirts, sweaters, long underwear and footless tights work well as under-layers. Avoid wearing cotton next to your skin, it will absorb sweat and snow and make you shiver. For that same reason, wool or acrylic socks are better than cotton athletic socks. Wear one, thin pair. Ski and snowboard boots are designed to be warm. Thick socks, or multiple layers of socks, will only give you blisters. If you buy anything, it should be a pair of waterproof shell pants and warm long underwear. You probably have a winter sports jacket already.
But, Not too Much
You may not need as many layers of clothing as you think. On a sunny day, you may only need two layers - the waterproof outer layer and the turtleneck/long underwear first layer. But bring a middle layer (fleece or wool sweater) just in case. You can always take off clothes as you get warmer. In general, the three main layers are wicking (worn next to your skin), insulating (middle layer that keeps the cold out) and weather protection (exterior layer or guard against the elements).
Fashion Tips
* The wicking layer should fit snugly (not tight) next to the skin in order to effectively wick moisture. Comfort is key for the insulating layer. It should be loose enough to trap air between layers, but not so bulky that it restricts movement. Whether you are a skier or snowboarder, your protection layer should fit comfortably, offering you maximum range of motion.
* Look for 100 percent UV protection in sunglasses. Make sure the glasses fit snugly behind your ears and rest gently on the bridge of your nose.
* Goggles should form an uninterrupted seal on your face, extending above your eyebrows and below your cheekbones. Watch for gaps, especially around your nose.
* Don't buy gloves or mittens that are too tight. There should be a little air space at the tips of your fingers, which acts as additional insulation.
* Don't wear jeans or street pants. Denim is not waterproof, so water will soak through and you'll end up cold, wet and miserable.
* Cotton is a no-no. Cotton is great for towels, because cotton soaks up and retains moisture. That's precisely why cotton is all wrong for on-slope apparel. It absorbs moisture (sweat and snow), and retains it. When the wind blows, you will get very, very cold. Don't wear cotton athletic socks, cotton jeans, cotton sweatshirts, or cotton T-shirts.
* Resist the temptation of putting on too many pairs of socks. You'll restrict circulation and actually cause your feet to get colder.
What do beginners forget to bring the first day?
Sunglasses, goggles and sunscreen. The sun can be very strong against a snow-white background. Also, remember to bring water-resistant gloves or mittens and a hat. Future snowboarders, wear wrist guards or knee pads if you have them. They will help cushion your falls.
Where do I go once I get to the mountain?
Get your ticket:
A lift ticket is required to use most ski areas. Head to the ticket windows first. When you pay, you will receive a lift ticket. This is attached to something that you will wear the entire day. The ticket is attached with a metal wire looped through a zipper or pull, fold the ticket in half, remove the backing and sandwich the wire between the two halves.
Now you are ready to get your equipment (or head to the slopes if you already have equipment):
Pick out your boots. Sizes generally match your foot in a dress shoe. You can notch up or down several sizes by adjusting the buckle. Only one pair of socks please! Otherwise the boots will not fit properly.
Find a spot on the benches. Try on your size. The boots should feel tight but should not hurt your feet. Make sure you close all the buckles.
Proceed to the Equipment Counter to receive your skis or snowboard. Let the technician know you are a beginner. You will be asked your height and weight so your equipment will be properly fitted to you.
What about lessons?
When just starting out, lessons are always a good idea. All resorts offer both adult and kids lessons. Group lessons are for multiple people of the same ability level. Private lessons are also available to provide for one on one teaching.

OK... so that's a lot and obviously it won't get done in one day.. but I'd like to have it done by Wednesday.. The most important thing is to clean the fridge and prep the greens before they get funky. I have huge bunches of kale, romaine, green leaf lettuce, parsely and cilantro. I'd like to hold off any grocery shopping for the family until Friday, which will be do-able.. My oldest son is going to NY to visit his friend for 10 days on Tuesday, so I will send a bunch of packaged type food with him. (I'm sure they have no idea what to feed him, they are big time junk food and meat eaters) I'm thinking that refried beans, tortillas, salsa, vegetarian baked beans, annie's mac and cheese, canned chickpeas, tofu, veggie hot dogs, cheese and avocados, fruit and hopefully they will provide veggies for him.. oh.. he also loved the Big Soup cups... so I'll send those as well.

By Taryn AsherFox 2 News ReporterDEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (WJBK) -- 173 students and 17 teachers went home sick Wednesday after becoming violently ill at Annapolis High School in Dearborn Heights, according to the Wayne County Health Department.We're told it came on fast. Students had diarrhea and stomach cramps and were vomiting. Health officials suspect the norovirus may be to blame, which is a group of viruses that cause the inflammation of the stomach triggering those symptoms.Superintendent Jeff Bartold said he didn't realize how bad it was until the absences were tallied at the end of the day. Right now the district is working to find the source."I've talked to the food service director, the company that handles or food service for us to make sure they do extra cleaning," he explained.To determine if it is the norovirus, we're told Disease Control is collecting samples from students and will be sending them off to the Michigan Department of Community Health for testing. Results should be back by next week.In the meantime, the school district plans to take every precaution. The superintendent is closing school on Friday so the building can be professionally cleaned. School will resume on Monday.

Our dog Pumpkin just passed away Monday at the age of 18+. She was a Terrier Mix who we found 17 years ago at a favorite shopping area. We are so happy that no one answered our Lost Dog ad in the newspaper, as she was the light of our lives for 17 years!!
Pumpkin loved running, eating (especially vanilla wafers and donuts), and most of all, being with her family.
We miss her so much.

How wonderful for Betsy and her people. I wish her a wonderful day with all the love she can handle. We had C.Thomas Dog for almost 18 years and I cherish every memory. Again Happy B-Day Betsy. I'd sing to you but my dogs protest every time I sing, I've promised not to. :-)

Happy 20th birthday, Betsy! I love hearing stories about happy senior dogs. I also get a kick out of the fact that donuts are a staple of her diet. If sweets are the key to longevity, then I'm in good shape! :)
Our Catahoula, Desoto, turns 13 in September but we've been finding little ways to celebrate rather than wait for a big birthday bash. Sometimes, I sneak him a bite of chicken or steak under the table, or get him a Pup Cup at Starbucks while running errands. Riding in the car is harder on him these days, so we've been walking a lot. This gives him a chance to hunt frogs, and smell (and mark!) the world, his favorite pastimes.

Although that squirrel was pretty speedy, it's still not close to being the fastest squirrel to run the baseball field.

Majestic, cosmopolitan, dynamic and pristine - just a few of the magical facets of Australia. When holidaying in Australia, there is something for everyone, the intrepid adventurer, the beach bum, the mall rats and the foodies. The big cities like Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Cairns all have their own special allure and the diverse holiday accommodation in Australia will ensure that travellers have everything they need away from home.
New South Wales, which is the oldest state in all of Australia, is a dynamic destination filled with an abundance of World Heritage Sites, glorious, unspoiled rainforests, world class surfing hot spots to name but a few. Sydney is right at the hub of the Central Coast line wherein beautiful, pristine beaches and prime scuba diving spots lies. Nothing quite like the Australian outback experience to make you forget about the strains and stresses of modern life. No matter whether you are camping or staying in beachfront holiday accommodation, Australia will captivate you.
Western Australia is a panoramic delight for the senses, grab your scuba gear and be transported to another world whilst you dive with whale sharks or swim with dolphins and manta rays. Or get your heart racing whilst you navigate the raw and rugged Golden Outback of Western Australia with nothing but the stars and vast open landscapes as companions.
If you are looking for a holiday more along the lines of white beach sand between your toes, sails of yachts flapping in the wind, whilst relaxing on the beach taking in the sights, the surfers and the sun, then Queensland is for you. For a something a bit more riveting, visit the vibrant theme parks of the Gold Coast, or take an exciting off road trip through the sand dunes, explorer the mystic rainforests or dive the barrier reef.
From rustic self catering holiday accommodation in the Tasmanian wilderness to the sleek and sophisticated holiday accommodation of sublime Sydney, Australia will allow you to experience a whirlwind of adventure, history and romance as some of the world's most famous attractions appear right before your eyes. Imagine Ayers Rock, The 12 Apostles, The Sydney Opera House or Fraser Island all within your reach.
For the adrenalin junkies for whom catching a tan and wave just doesn't' cut it, then Australia will not disappoint you. A hive of intense outdoor activities are on offer, like sky diving, bungee jumping, paragliding and shark cage diving. To be able to experience the diving opportunities on the Great Barrier Reef is a once in a life time extravaganza that will leave you breathless, and is absolutely not to be missed.
Let's face it, Australia is hot, even in winter the temperate Mediterranean climate means that you won't need much more than a light jacket to keep the cool night air out. It rains in winter, between April and November, and can be a sticky and humid summer, with February being the most uncomfortably hot. When choosing holiday rental accommodation, be careful not to go camping, for instance during the winter months, but the over the summer months, the beach is absolutely perfect!
Depending on your budget and your requirements for a holiday, there are numerous flights into the big cities every day. Holiday rental accommodation may be cheaper out of season, such as winter, but then holiday rentals such as tents for camping may not a great idea. You are able to fly into the international airports of Canberra, Perth, Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne, and pick up transport directly to your holiday rental accommodation.
Cape Paterson is only 10 minutes drive away from my home in Wonthaggi. Shack Bay, a beach there, is my favourite. Once you walk down the 100 steps or more it's time for the family to explore. Starfish and shells—no risk of rips or swells. My kids love the rock pools to look inside and I love the serenity in my bathers no need to hide. This beach never gets crowded or busy; its quiet and peaceful and easy. When I feel like escaping and taking a moment for myself this is the place I choose over anyplace else. If I could afford a holiday away, I wouldn't hesitate to stay someone new, but this is my favourite place.
The next day when your legs are sore and tired you will remember the 100 or more steps you walked! Don't tell too many people about my secret place a few show up but won't walk the pace down the steps to this beautiful place, such a great way to escape the rat race.
There is a view of Eagle's Nest, the rock formation, out to the west. I have seen wombats and even a seal on my visit to this beach, so surreal.

Bray Wyatt
Real Name
Date of Birth
December 31, 1969
Place of Birth
It appears that WWE might be done with the feud between Miz and Dolph Ziggler, two performers who were largely neglected by the creative department for a good period of time. Management wants to move Ziggler onto another challenge, and the name being tossed around the most is Antonio Cesaro. WWE is still high on Cesaro, even though he has not received a consistent push as of late.
September 23, 2014
Rumors are heating up that TNA will be making their long awaited announcement on a new television contract. Dixie Carter has been adamant all along about Impact Wrestling being able to remain on the air, and it looks like her team is about to finalize things. No word yet on which network the deal will be with, but it appears that Spike is not in the picture. WGN and Velocity are two of the rumored networks interested in bringing wrestling on board.
September 23, 2014
Since Night of Champions 2014 took place over the weekend, a lot of fans were expecting Paul Heyman to make an appearance and gloat about how Brock Lesnar is still the WWE champion. However, Heyman was nowhere to be seen on Monday Night Raw. He was backstage at the event last night, but management opted against using him because they could not come up with something for Heyman and Lesnar.
September 23, 2014
While there is a possibility that WWE does a third straight match between John Cena and Brock Lesnar, there are those backstage that are pushing for Cena to be transitioned into a feud with Seth Rollins instead. That's why the story line of Rollins attempting to cash in at Night of Champions 2014 took place. The belief is that this program will help elevate Rollins into the main event scene.
September 22, 2014
Add Austin Aries to the long list of performers who may be leaving TNA once their contract expires. Reports surfaced recently that he was not one of the names advertised for an upcoming tour of England, and that led to the speculation that the former world heavyweight champion was not going to have his contract renewed by the company because they are still in limbo over a television contract.
September 22, 2014
On Night of Champions 2014, Cody Rhodes and Goldust defeated Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso for the WWE tag team championship. Rumors are floating around that management felt that the twins had grown stale because they ran out of teams to defend the titles again. Plus, Rhodes has really been getting into his Stardust character, so the front office wants to see if the gimmick can pick up further steam with a championship push.
September 22, 2014
By now, everyone knows that Roman Reigns has been hospitalized and is forced to miss Night of Champions 2014. Seth Rollins needs a new opponent. One of the ideas being tossed around is to have Dean Ambrose making a surprise return at the pay per view and continue his feud with Rollins. Ambrose had taken a couple of weeks away from WWE to film a movie, but he finished up this weekend.
September 21, 2014
With the company still in limbo on a new television contract, whenever a veteran performer has a contract that is expiring, rumors float around that the person will be leaving TNA. Another name to add to the list is Gail Kim. Long viewed as one of the best female performers in the industry, her future is unclear, as her contract expires before the end of the year.
September 21, 2014
Rumors have spread like wildfire about the possibility of Eric Bischoff joining Jeff Jarrett in his new Global Force Wrestling promotion. The speculations were started when a picture surfaced online of the two of them, along with Karen Jarrett, hanging out together. Since Bischoff has some stroke in Hollywood, a partnership between the two sides could greatly benefit GFW.
September 21, 2014
When word spread that Roman Reigns was rushed to the hospital, WWE made it clear that he was going to miss Night of Champions 2014, where he was scheduled for a big match against Seth Rollins. Reports have now surfaced that Reigns might be missing Hell in a Cell 2014 as well, as medical examiners believe that the type of hernia that he is suffering from is quite severe.
September 20, 2014
As many fans already know, WWE has run out of opponents for Bray Wyatt, so he has slipped down the ladder tremendously over the last couple of weeks. Sheamus has long been a rumored opponent for Wyatt, and it looks like that feud may be happening soon. Management has had the two of them working together at live events, and the belief is that it will be brought to television soon.
September 20, 2014
There was a lot of hype behind the signing of Prince Devitt, so WWE wants to figure out a good way to introduce the international star to their fan base. Reports have surfaced that the company is thinking about utilizing him in the tag team division to start. The two names that have been toss around as potential partners are Sami Zayn and the newly signed Kevin Steen.
September 19, 2014
Alexander Rusev is rapidly moving up the ladder in WWE. There are those backstage that are already pushing for him to be groomed for a feud against John Cena in the very near future. The belief is that Mark Henry, a former world heavyweight champion with some credibility with the fans, will be putting over Rusev at Night of Champions 2014.
September 17, 2014
Reports surfaced over the last couple of days that Chris Jericho was going to be working his last show for WWE at Night of Champions 2014 in a match against Randy Orton. There is now speculation that the former world heavyweight champion might stick around shortly after that before leaving, similar to what Rob Van Dam did before taking his break from WWE recently.
September 17, 2014
While the hot rumors are pointing to Darren Young being eventually revealed by WWE as the man underneath the bunny suit, a lot of fans have been wondering who has been portraying the character on television as of late. Reports have surfaced that developmental wrestler Sami Zayn has been the one in the suit. He apparently portrayed the character on Monday Night Raw and at live events.
September 17, 2014
One of the more interesting things in WWE nowadays is the feud between AJ Lee and Paige. It's not so much about what has happened on television, as much as it is about what can possibly happen next. The creative department has teased sexual tension between the two performers, but management knows that it cannot go too far because of potential backlash from advertisers. With WWE needing to create a buzz for the product, it will be interesting to see how close to the line that they're willing to step.
September 17, 2014
Fans were a bit puzzled in regards to how Monday Night Raw was booked this week. John Cena kept telling fans that Paul Heyman only had until halftime to produce Brock Lesnar before an attack would happen. The incident took place closer to the two hour mark than halfway through the show. Reports have surfaced that WWE did this because Vince McMahon wanted to draw in viewers from the NFL game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles. He used Lesnar and Cena, two of the bigger names in wrestling, to try to get fans to switch channels during halftime of the game.
September 16, 2014
It looks like another wrestler is upset with WWE and wants time off. This time, it's Randy Orton. The former world heavyweight champion is said to be really upset with how management has been utilizing him. The belief is that Orton feels that he should be involved in the main event scene more frequently. He has been demanding some time away from WWE, but since the roster is so thin right now, management has only been able to give him time away from live events over the last couple of weeks.
September 16, 2014
When his contract was expiring, a lot of fans wondered what TNA would do with Bully Ray and his stories since he was leaving the company. The two sides have reached an agreement to continue working together, so that the stories can be resolved. Bully Ray will also work the Bound For Glory 2014 event and be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame before parting ways.
September 15, 2014
Professional wrestling and football have long had a connection, as a lot of players from the gridiron have successfully made the switch to the squared circle. Triple H wants that tradition to continue, so WWE is now targeting more football players to join their developmental program. While there are a couple of guys already on the roster with athletic backgrounds, the company is looking for guys with more name value. WWE is also willing to pay these guys more money than the wrestlers.

With this knowledge, we can create the best solution tying together the CMS system under the hood to the content and design that appears to your visitors. It's like having an auto shop that can not only finely tune under the hood, but create a sexy, custom chassis that works in harmony with the parts that make it go.
We have worked on sites for a wide range of clients: Educational Institutions, Small and Medium Businesses, Non-Profits, Musicians, Realtors, Consultants of various types, National Distribution companies, and many more. With each completed project, we learn more about the special needs of the market and the individual to use in future projects.

Affording Vet Care
Pet lovers worry about high vet bills.

I think I am amoung the folks who feel my dog and cat are members of my family. But when I first looked into insurance I found it was to be an item for that undetermined future date when the money mysteriously materialized!
Submitted by Liz Henderson | June 15 2010 | Permalink
I have an insurance policy on each of my 4 dogs for illness and injury. It is from $22/mo for my puppy to $45/mo for my 13 yo Lab. But we have gotten back more than we have spent for each dog, except the puppy. We have gotten a splenectomy, 2 repaired ruptured cranial cruciate ligaments, and a embarassingly large number of bite wounds fo my insane middle child who likes to start crap (don't worry, we've gotten help with her issues). In one 12-month period, we accrued $16,000 in vet bills, before insurance reimbursements. After insurance, we paid $8500. So if you are like me and do not want cost to be a factor in whether your pet lives, dies or is permanently disabled, insurance makes sense!

Like Liz, all our dogs are covered by insurance. We have chosen a policy with a big deductible, but excellent coverage after that. This is partially in response to having paid somewhere near $6000 in vet care for a beloved greyhound with osteosarcoma.
When Maggie (soon to become Maggie the Marvelous Tripawd) was first diagnosed,my husband and I had the conversation about how much money would be the cut-off point from aggressive to palliative care. That point quickly passed, after multiple surgeries and an infection or two and the excellent help of a canine oncologist. In the meantime, Maggie ran in the fields, ate with gusto and continued in her winsome ways. What? We were going to not try to continue her good life? When the time came for her to go, she let us know, and she died in our arms, under the care of the vet she had seduced, as she had ourselves.
We are fortunate that we are in a position to have paid for Maggie's comfort and life, but not again. Now, our two greyhounds are insured for what will inevitably be big vet bills someday. I am much more comfortable knowing that Cookie, Vinnie or whomever will be the one that tells us when it is time to go, and not our bank balance.

I firmly believe that this is an expense one should consider BEFORE getting any animal. If insurance is an expense too far, and there are no savings in place to cover possible bills, perhaps it is not the right time to take on a potentially expensive responsibility. At the same time, there are ways to minimise the bills - for teeth, I have had good results using Petzlife gel - very expensive here in the UK, but much more affordable in the US, and much, much cheaper and less risky than a GA.

Last year our beloved pet Buba a datusn became suddenly ill. I took off from work that morning waited forever to get in to see our very busy vet and was told Buba had Kidney stones and because of the severity of the operation that he prefered to refer us to the Local emergency hopsital.

Because my budget is very tight, I do not have medical insurance on my pets so I do everything reasonable to make sure that the number of medical problems are minimal.

Let me add, if your vet prescribes an antibiotic, check to see if there is a human version that could be safely substituted, and then check to see if you can find a pharmacy that dispenses them at a low cost. By check, I emphasize CHECK WITH YOUR VET! But you knew that.
Submitted by Stef | June 25 2010 | Permalink
Excellent point. I forgot about that. I always check Walmart first as that is where I have found the cheapest price for Leo's insulin (Novolin-N....which is generic for Humulin-N). Instead of paying like $50 a bottle which we did for like two months before a pharmacist let us know about the generic version. Now we only pay $22 per bottle.

I never thought that I would pay a ton in vet costs but then in April 2009 my then 8 year old Keeshond Leo was diagnosed with Diabetes. Of course this happened on a weekend and so by Tuesday the next week I had racked up a vet bill that was at least $1,500. I had to apply for Care Credit and thankfully was given a generous limit. But that card was soon maxed out with all his vet costs. A ton of people thought I was crazy, even my own father who bought Leo for me as a pup said to just put him down. There was no way I could do that as he still had at least 5-6 years left in his average breed lifespan. So I ended up skimping on myself and accumulated at least $5,000 in credit card debt in order to properly care for my heart dog. Then Leo went blind and once again people thought I was crazy when I started trying to find money to give him his vision back. But if you all saw the difference it made when he could see again you would understand. He now acts like a young dog once again. Overall in the past year I have spent at least $10,000 in vet costs for my boy but I don't regret even one cent of that. Thankfully some things have gone my way, mainly the Post 9/11 GI Bill Benefits that my father transferred to me, so I have almost completely paid up my credit card debt.
Some words of caution though for others in a situation such as mine was, do not get Care Credit unless you have to. I was unable to pay off my balance in the 3 months and after that they start taking on about a $30 fee each month it hasn't been paid off.

The comedian has taken to posting odd photos of himself in the bathtub online and when three were shown during his appearance on Conan, he insisted the tall TV personality join him for a quirky snapshot.
As a bubble bath was wheeled out onto the set, both men stripped to their underwear and climbed in.
Gervais then took a camera phone shot of the odd couple.

3/8 in. x 4 tpi. x 80 in. Skip Tooth Olson Bandsaw Blade - QTY:1 - 3WAF1
You have probably seen the "amazing" band saw blade demonstration at a woodworking show: a band saw equipped with a narrow 3/8" wide blade cuts paper-thin veneers! That's great, but it should be for a $29 blade. What woodworkers really need is an affordable blade that can do that trick. This is it!
Most "hobby" blades are stamped from pretempered spring steel that is at its final hardness, so the blade must be relatively thin. That makes it more likely to wander in the cut unless the tension is outrageously high (eventually leading to upper wheel axle failure). Olson All-Pro blades are milled from a ribbon of special high-alloy tool steel instead of simply punched. The individual teeth are set and induction hardened to Rc 64-65 so they start sharp and stay sharp longer. The tooth-hardening process leaves the back with the needed flexibility (Rc 45) to avoid early fatigue breakage, and the stiffness to maintain a straight cut in thick material. Milling the teeth allows for thicker blades (.025" on blades 1/2" and narrower; .032" on blades wider than 1/2"), for increased stability under load and reduced tendency to wobble in the cut. For best results, please make sure your saw is tuned up first, or you won't be able to tell how good a blade this really is! Made in USA.

✔ 6th Step Alabama Partnerships Need a Federal Tax Id Number and a Madison County DBA.
✔ 7th Step Even Sole Owners, Instead of filing a Madison County
DBA, Can Incorporate in or form a(n)
Alabama LLC
Also, keep in mind that in
though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number. (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Selecting the right business structure can be a difficult project when starting your own small new business. Most small business advisers will tell you that a traditional C Corporation results in higher tax payments because of double taxation. However, if not a C Corporation then what?
The LLC (limited liability company) and S Corporation are the latest most sought after business structures if you want to avoid double taxation. For example, with an LLC, you are taxed like a sole proprietor or partnership. This means that all company profits are "passed through" and reported on your personal income tax return of the shareholders or, in the case of an LLC, the LLC members.
However, the truth is that both the LLC and S Corp will afford legal protections such as separation of your personal assets from any judgment legal actions vs your company (whether from an disgruntled customer, debt owned to a supplier, or anyone else who has filed a legal action against your LLC or corporation).
Even though an LLC and an S corporation are similar, in some cases, they are very different. Of course, every small business is different and surely, you, as an individual may be out of the normal range, however, the following facts may help you decide what is different between these entities.
1. Keeping up with Corporate Formalities
Since an S Corporation is a Corporation, it naturally involves legal compliance, and corporate formalities such as filing a statement of the officers annually. The four main things you will have to do as an S Corporation are that: you need to select a board of directors, file annual statements, hold shareholder's meetings, and keep records of your meeting minutes. An LLC on the other hand uses an LLC operating agreement and in most states you do not need to file annual statement and or select board of directors nor keep annual LLC member meetings or keep LLC records of your meetings.
The meaning of this is that if you choose to set up an LLC, it will give you less corporate formality work to do each year while you will have the corporate protection as a corporation gives you.
2. Owner and Shareholders Issues
While an LLC has no restrictions whatsoever on the number of LLC member owners, the S Corporation cannot have more than 100 shareholders, who all must be either U.S. citizens or permanent residents. In addition, an S Corporation can only have individual natural persons as shareholders. The owner shareholders cannot be other corporate entities such as an S Corporation or an LLC.
The implication is that if you file an LLC, you will be able to have foreigners as members and have as many LLC members as you want as well as have corporation or other LLCs as LLC members.
3. Shares, Percentage of Ownership, and Owner Liability
In an LLC, you can execute an LLC agreement where the ownership, income or loss is attributed to each member based on the percentage of ownership of the member. On the other hand, an S Corp requires that that is based on their amount of the shares each shareholder owner owns.
The importance of this is in the administration and allocation of profits and losses. For example, George and Susan open an online boutique, each owning 50% of the boutique. As the time goes by, George focuses on the marketing and other tasks while Susan takes care of the day to day boutique operations. The boutique becomes a big hit and they make a lot of money. Naturally, they want to take it out of the business and pocket it. However, Susan thinks that because she takes care of most of the boutiques work, she should keep most of the profits and throw a bone to George ( a 50% owner ) such as 30% of the profits and Susan will keep 70%.
Contention will arise in a situation such as the above. The solution is to set up an LLC and draft a flexible LLC agreement that outlines the rights, duties, percentage of profits allocated to each member and other details peculiar to the boutique so misunderstandings arise. So, if Susan thinks she contributes more and is entitled to more, she should agree and include it in the LLC agreement provided George agrees. With such a set up with all details written down, there will be no disagreements.
In contrast, with an S Corp, you will have to split the income 50% - 50% if you have 50% of the shares of the S corporation. If you spit the income in any other way, with an S Corp you still have to pay 50% share in income taxes of the 50% of the S Corporation's profits. That is, even if you just got only 30% of the profits.
So, if you want to be more flexible in allocating rights, duties, and profits, get an LLC instead of an S Corporation.
4. How does Income and Loss Pass-Through to Members or Shareholders
With LLCs and S Corporations, you can write off most losses as personal losses. If you are into real estate investments, an LLC has another advantage over the S Corp in that you can add the amount of the LLC mortgage to your basis for the purpose of computing a personal loss that is actually the loss of the LLC.
The implication is that even if the LLC cannot write off the loss because of high profits, you can write it off as your personal loss and save tons of money. Thus, if you have are in real estate investments, an LLC will provide more write offs than an S Corp.
5. Voting Power, Preferred, and Common Class of Stock
In a C Corporation, you can have many different classes of stock such as common or preferred. With an S Corporation, you can only have one class of stock, though you can have voting and non-voting shares. An LLC has something called different membership classes that you can include in the LLC agreement to avoid the S Corp limitation of only one class of stock. A preferred stock entitles the holder to a fixed dividend, whose payment takes priority over that of common-stock dividends
As a result, with an S Corp you cannot have both common and preferred stock. Thus, if you prefer to have preferred stock as described above, form an LLC as opposed to an S Corp.

Joyful Experiences with Dogs
Can you beat running on the beach?

We love playing on the beach and Cannon Beach is an all time favorite! But I love doing anything and everything with my beloved Lucy dog. As long as she's with me I'm one happy camper. So much so that I blog about our adventures (and misadventures) regularly at www.dogs2cents.com. My favorite activity though is hiking in the mountains with my girl, Lucy!
I love when we experience the same thing at the same moment. Like a nest of baby mice in the tall grass -- she smells it, I see it. Her eyes say "Wow! Would you look at this!" Or a dead raccoon, considerably less pleasant (for me), but we click on it together. Basically, sharing moments in nature, whether walking, biking, or kayaking.
Great photo above -- both are airborne, or nearly so.
I absolutely love walking around the neighborhood with my dog. To me, it looks like the same old block. To Honey, it's an amazing array of aromas that cause her to zig and zag soaking it all up.
It's amazing to watch her follow the scent trail until she hones in on the source. I wish I knew what she was smelling.

For me it is sitting on a sunny river bank while the dogs explore the shallows - sun dappling through the willow leaves onto the water, wild flowers all around, dogs absorbed in sights and smells with their tails gently waving, and the possibility of seeing the flash of azure and gold that is a kingfisher. Bliss!

Joyful moments spent with my dogs, Amadeus and Harlow are going on an excellent fun walk in the neighborhood. This would mean encountering no loose dogs and getting to meet at least one new person.
Another joyful moment is when I'm sandwitched in between the two and rubbing their bellies and they are wagging with delight :)

The most joyful experience with my dogs is getting up at dawn to run with them, Rudy (Border Collie) and Marty (Weimereimer/Golden Retriever). When I pull a pair of running shorts out, Rudy's eyes shine and both dogs keep me in sight as I finish dressing and prepping. By the time I clip on leases, they are quivering to be out. It is heaven for all of us to reach the lake, our favorite running spot, and get going. We are a high-functioning team, Rudy on the left, Marty on the right, staying out of each other's way, maintaining a single pace. It is glorious, every single step.

I think my dogs and I have the most fun together when we go to the beach and they can run their little hearts out! Also, when we go hiking in the hills around our house.
My dog loves the beach! And he has finally figured out that swimming is awesome! However I think his all time favorite is going backpacking.

My dog loves to run and swim and fetch and play tug-o-war, but your question was which experience gives ME the greatest happiness. For that, I must say it's when he jumps up on the coach next as I'm lieing there watching sports on the big screen, and he puts his paws and head on my chest. Sorry, but it's even better than having my wife next to me!

Hello, Karen,
Our love for sharing the water - and our favorite island - with Xena sparked our formation of Bay Families with Dogs, Inc., to advocate for continued access to Shell Island when authorities briefly tried to ban all of the boaters with dogs. The happy ending is that our organization now works together with the park system, and dogs and their people are united again to experience the joy of Shell Island.
We just finished our tribute video for Xena, and posted it here today:
