While television has been reporting the rain in Vancouver and at the freestyle location at Cypress Mountain, up here at Whistler it’s beautiful, with great snow and some gorgeous sunny days. It has snowed each of the past three nights, leaving fresh soft snow at the top for us skiers to enjoy in the morning. The weather is usually very different from the top of Whistler to the bottom. Skiing here during the Olympics has been great; the slopes aren’t crowded and there are often no lift lines at all. We’ve found this to be the case ... | 2 |
Eichners at the Olympics by molsister

Who are we? I am Molly Taylor's sister, and Zane Taylor's sister-in-law. I'm here at the Olympics with my husband Ad and son Alec. On Sunday we left Whistler Mountain – where we’re staying all week -- to head down to the men’s mogul event at Cypress Mountain, which is between Vancouver and Whistler. Moving around takes time (we left Whistler at 9:30 a.m. and got home at about 10 p.m.) But it was worth it; a great day, a great event. Canada won its first gold medal at a Canadian Olympics with a blistering run... | 1 |
HDR or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love Tone Mapping by TomTill

As the Romans said, at least in Gladiator: Many things change. My obsession and profession of over thirty years is morphing in so many ways, it's hard to even come close to fathoming it all. Sometimes, though I love the process of creating images more than ever, I feel like a great weight would be lifted if I just gave up and left the arena to younger people who are more at home in this Brave New World of photography. Most of the time, though, I feel like I've moved through a whole history of photography, beginnin... | 1 |

New Kids in Town by TomTill

For quite some time I have been concerned that interest in landscape photography in younger generations has been somewhat lacking. I'll admit that jobs as a landscape photographer do not grow on trees. I have met many excellent photographers over the years who want my job, but they haven't seemed to have been committed enough to attain the ranks of full time professional. I do see lots of new names on photo credits, but none seem to rise above the high enough above the crowd for me to recognize them. Perhaps it was easier to get a "name" in the 70's, 80's... | 3 |
Get A Look at the Experiences of Moab Visitors in November by VisitMoabUtah

Since Thanksgiving has just passed, take a look at this blog entry. http://bit.ly4Skakb . The impressive aspect of this adventure are the 4-6 year old bicyclists on Moab's famous Slick Rock, albeit not the slick rock trail, per se. It occurs to me too, that the Dead Horse Point State Park Intrepid Trails are another fine kid trail, since I know it was pedaled in May with a 6 speed town cruiser. Athletes are attracted to Moab. Read this runner's blog of the 2nd 50K Ultimate XC race http://bit.ly/62CJXj . The trails of this lengthy route exhibited Moa... | 4 |

Ways to Tackle a New Language by winkton_b
3 months ago | 0 | 2 |
In the past, only very purposeful and industrious people were able to learn a language perfectly. However, they could compete with a Cambridge graduate, in terms of their Grammar. Without doubt, they had high compensation for their work. The profession of a teacher of foreign languages and of an interpreter was very popular. Today, you need: diligence, big efforts and regular practice to hold such kind of position. Definitely there is something "revolutionary" that the foreign language became available for the majority of people. M... | 2 |
