		<description><![CDATA[I have a very special granddaughter.  Well actually, I have four of them but we'll just limit our discussion to one of them today - the four-year-old.  I am also fortunate to have a very special mother.  Mom and my granddaughter (we'll just refer to her as "K") have a very special relationship.  It started the moment "K" came into our lives.  Even though Mom was nearly 90, "K" was immediately attracted to her.  Actually, "attracted" doesn't adequately describe their relationship.  It was more like they were long lost buddies who had been reunited after many, many years.It didn't make any difference who else was around.  The instant "K" walked in the door, she'd always head straight to Grandma.  That's what she would call Mom instead of Great Grandma.  They would talk and play dollies.  Talk and touch and smile and just be happy.  They were together and that's all that counted.When the weather was nice and Mom was able to be outside on the patio, "K" would take her dollies outside just so she could be close to Grandma.  And yes, they would talk and smile and be happy.  Now that I'm living several hundred miles away, I'm not there to enjoy this interaction between "K" and her Great Grandma.  But I understand that they are still great buddies.  If "K" is having a bit of a bad day, she and Mom will talk and it won't be long until "K" is feeling much better about whatever is happening in her young world.  If "K" isn't feeling well, Mom is there to give hugs, rubs or whatever it takes to help the healing process.  Most of the time though, I think it's the love that's doing the healing.  Love really is a potent medicine, you know.Buddies.  Talking and smiling ? and loving.  You just know there is a lot of love shared between "K" and her Great Grandma.  What a wonderful relationship between two people separated in age by almost ninety years.  I like to hear about it.  I enjoy hearing the nice things "K" tells her dad about this wonderful, continuing relationship and the nice things her Great Grandma does for her.  It really is special.  Very special.And I'm sure that Mom is enjoying it too.  It's not like it's a burdensome responsibility ? watching over a four year old child.  After all, they're buddies.  Always have been ? always will be.  I'm sure of that.The date on Mom's death certificate is May 5th, 2004.  Maybe it should be re-titled to "New Life" certificate instead.  It seems more appropriate somehow.PS:  I understand from "K" that Mom no longer needs her wheelchair.  Isn't that great?. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Secrets have been in our family recipes, some even date back as far as 3000 BC. For years our Ancient ancestors have been using natural herbs and spices to heal and cure, even to take the weight off. For example: The Ancient Mayans used cayenne pepper which has been studied to increase the rate of metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Some Additional research also indicates that cayenne increases production of epinephrine and nor epinephrine which together decrease appetite. The Chinese have used ginger root for years for all sorts of things like cleansing the colon, reduce spasms and cramps, stimulate water retention, earache, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, stimulate circulation, and of course to aid the metabolism. HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid), a natural appetite suppressant found in the rind of a small tropical fruit, Garcinia cambogia has been used as a condiment in Thai and Indian cuisine for years. Bromelain which is found in pineapple is very useful in helping with the digestion of fat producing enzymes that help curve the appetite that has been used by the Hawaiians and Tahitians for many generations for medicine purposes. The powerful health and healing qualities of natural Apple Cider Vinegar have been known and used since 3,000 B.C... Cider vinegar is a powerful detoxifying and purifying agent. It breaks down fatty, mucous and phlegm deposits within the body. The List goes on.Now just imagine what kind of results one could have if you combined all this past history into one capsule. Our ancestors have been using simple natural methods to cure all forms of ailments for years. To think how much time and money has been put into this industry to find the quickest easiest way to lose the fat, and all we had to do was unlock the secrets of the past.. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Year has begun and you probably have a few New Year's Resolutions under way.  You'll lose weight, lose a bad habit, add a good habit or even mend an old fence.  But do you have any resolutions for the backcountry?  Are you ready to make this year your best backcountry year?  I'm ready.  Here are a few of my backcountry New Year's Resolutions; please adopt a couple of these for yourself.  If you do, 2005 will be your best outdoor year yet.First off, I resolve to spend more time in the backcountry.  No matter how much time I spend hiking or camping, it never seems to be enough.  So this year I will try to get my fill of the outdoors.  Of course, I said this last year too but failed to get enough.Next I resolve to upgrade my critical gear.  Some things are more comfortable the longer you own them, but this isn't good practice for critical backcountry gear.  For example, it's been a few years since I upgraded my first-aid kit or my hiking boots or my sunglasses.  These items become a liability if they are not properly maintained.  I've let that slip.  I'll also take a long look at my binoculars and my camping kitchen, especially my stove.  Taking care of your gear will ensure its ability to take care of you when you need it most.While we're discussing gear, let's keep going with another resolution.  I resolve to learn how to use all of my gear.  I've been carrying a magnesium stick for fire starting for about 5 years.  I don't think I know how to use it.  I'm going to learn.  I need to understand more about my GPS receiver (Garmin eTrex Vista).  I use about five percent of its capabilities and this is only because I haven't taken the time to learn.  That changes this year.I also resolve to learn a new backcountry skill.  I haven't decide what skill to learn but it will be something I've never done before.  I've never taken the time to learn how to rock climb.  Perhaps that's the one, or maybe kayaking.  I've never collected water using a solar still.  That sounds interesting too.  Maybe you need to learn CPR or how to read a map or tie a variety of knots.  This is the year to fill in the knowledge gaps.Finally, I resolve to bring someone new into the backcountry this year.  When I see the perfect sunset or a herd of antelope, the next thought I have is "I wish so-and-so was here to see this!"  So this year, I'm going to share the awe of our backcountry with someone brand new to the outdoors.  By sticking to these New Year's Resolutions, I will have a great year in our backcountry.  I hope to see you there!  Use this information and you'll Get It Right The First Time.  Get Outdoors!. ]]></description>

		<title>You to Can Ski Down Mount Everest</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting to the summit is optional, getting down is mandatory. - David Breashears-Extreme Skier Maegan Carney:Extreme skier Maegan Carney had made a bid to be the first woman, and second person to ski down the world's tallest mountain. Because of the high winds of Mount Everest at that time, Maegan Carney abandoned her first summit attempt. To find more information about Maegan's quest, go to the mountainzone.com website. Preparation Is The Secret: Before you climb a mountain, you need some major preparations: You definitely need to be physically and emotionally fit. You should have people in the group who know first aid and of coarse you have a first aid kit. Make sure you have a schedule set up, because of the dangers involved. The mountain you're climbing, how long it should take, how many  and who are going, and where  will you start your assention. Bring a camera for breath taking views and to record your trip. A cell phone for emergencies and to call someone to share your excitement when you make it to the top. If you have the proper climbing gear with you, there's no worries about staying the night if you get lost.  Also you know you'll get rescued by morning because the proper people have been notified. Some Guidelines For Climbing: It's not a good idea to be flown or driven to altitudes higher than 3000 metres. Begin your walk at below that. Once over the 3000 metre altitude, travel up in 300 metre increments each day, thats it, no more than that. Climb up high during the day and sleep at lower altitudes at night. If high altitude symptoms start to affect you, stop climbing higher.  If symptoms worsen, go down right away. You will need to drink plenty of fluids, hiking dehydrates your body very fast when climbing at high altitudes and this increases as the temperature does. Do the climb at a slow pace and you'll enjoy your climb more. Stay away from alcohol, tobacco and other vices that will play havoc with your body and mind at these high altitudes. A high-carbohydrate diet will really benefit you here. In the USA there are many resorts above the 3,000 metre level, meaning you will need to keep a watch out for mountain sickness. Some Mount Everest Facts: Historic Mountain Climbing Deaths: George Mallory and Andrew Irvine on  June 6 1924, made an attempt on the summit from which they never returned. An eyewitness claimed he saw the group reach the summit. A total of 808 climbers have reached and stood on the summit, 764 men and 44 women. There were 161 that died, 36 on the descent. More About Mountain Climbing Deaths In 1965, was the best year for climbing, nine climbers summitted and there were no deaths.  In 1996, the worst single year for deaths, 15 climbers died. About Mount Everest  Itself: The Highest Peak: At 29,035' (8850m), thats about five miles up, the highest summit in the world, and is close to the cruising altitude of a jet, or it is 23 times the height of the Empire State building. Above 26,000, the body gets a third of the oxygen available at sea level.  Even after getting acclimated, the body starts to shut down, and if someone stays at that height long enough, they will die.  A lot of the climbers use oxygen here for climbing and sleeping. The weather on Everest allows for  climbing only in May and October between winter snows (December-March) and summer monsoons (June-September).  As you can tell, this article is just giving you the basics of what information you'll need to find your way to the top of the world's highest peaks. Amazon.com has a great source of books on this subject.. ]]></description>
