With 600 miles of trails, it’s no wonder why Winter Park has gained the title of “Mountain Bike Capital USA”. At the resort alone you will find 50 miles of single-track trails accessible via chair lifts and marked with signs identifying skill level. Once at the top of the lifts you may want to stop into the Sunspot for a quick bite to eat while enjoying the 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains. From there you can choose runs like the Upper Arapahoe, the resort’s downhill race course, or wind down The Long Trail for a 7-mile novice ride.

In the Fraser Valley you can enjoy the trails of the Rocky Mountain wilderness while cradled by spectacular mountain views all around. The trails follow babbling brooks, glide through wildflower meadows and trek up rugged mountains.

All throughout the summer, there are races that are open to public and are available to many different skill levels. A majority of the races either start or end at Winter Park Resort, including the finale… The King of the Rockies.

Repairs, rentals and shops are easy to find, whether you are at the resort, or downtown Winter Park. You can also find a wide variety of restaurants and bars, with food that is just as good as it is diverse.

Music sounds better with a backdrop like the Continental Divide, and you just may find out for yourself, as there are music festivals and concerts happening almost every weekend during the Summer. Events like the Jazz Festival and the Food, Wine & Beer Festival may require advance planning for stays in Winter Park.

It would be impossible to cover all of the mountain bike trails of Winter Park and the Fraser Valley in one short article. However, once you get to here, there are a number of free mountain bike trail guides that can be found at most establishments.

Stay just a five minute walk from the base of Winter Park Resort. Slope View Bed and Breakfast offers views of the Continental Divide, unique amenities and a knowledgeable staff. 970-531-2386

Here’s a tip for next Christmas, if you have a cat: Hang the
bottom branches of your tree with cat toys. That way your feline
will be delighted and you won’t be irritated by it constantly
knocking down and destroying your prized Christmas ornaments.
It’s too late to do it, now, I know. But next Christmas, try it.

Cats - or I should say house cats - are unique in that they are
the only domesticated animal that did not first start out as
either a pack or a herd animal, you know like dogs or sheep or
cows. They were originally domesticated by the ancient Egyptians
who used them to keep vermin out of the grain silo. I also hear
that the Egyptians used to worship them as Gods though probably
they didn’t worship every single cat but only the really divine
ones. It might seem a little extreme to worship any cat at all,
but please keep in mind that the threshhold for God-hood back in
those days was pretty low. If you could clean yourself entirely
with your tongue that was usually enough.

I’m not sure exactly what the name for a collection of house
cats is, if there even is one. Other animals have special
identifiers when they’re together in a group. For example: you
have a herd of cattle, a school of fish, a flock of seagulls
(also the name of an awesome group, man) and - my favorite - a
murder of crows. That one says it all, it’s real dark and scary
and if you’ve seen crows together: it really fits. Lions travel
together in prides, so I’m wondering if the proper name for more
than one house cat shouldn’t be a ’shame’, as in a ’shame of
house cats’. This would be because they’re so much tinier than
lions.

If there isn’t any name yet I have two suggestions, either a
‘meowing of house cats’ or a ‘yeowling of house cats’. I think
they would both work as they are very descriptive of exactly of
what house cats are what they do. Usually you don’t see house
cats congregating together much, except rather unwillingly as in
a whole bunch of barn cats together or crazy cat ladies house.
It’s been my observation that in a lot of two cat households
you’ll see one very large well fed cat out in the open and
another very scrawny and frightened cat darting about hoping not
to be noticed. What’s happening is that the second cat is
getting knocked around by the other one.

Cats do have ways of communicating with each other - and you -
but I can’t claim to be much of a cat whisperer. I know that
when they raise their tail straight up that means they recognize
you and when they rub up against you it means not that they like
you, but rather they think you need to smell like them.
Presenting you with a dead animal is supposed to be a special
gift, I understand, but I’ve got to tell you: There is one cat
that’s still waiting for a thank you card from me, and I’m sure
he’s very puzzled by my continuing ingratitude.

You may be surprised to know that house cats are trainable. I
learned this one from a lion tamer in Maine who told me that
training lions is similar to training any feline. The key is to
know that they both have incredibly short attention spans and
that if on any particular day you can get it one step closer to
what you want it to do, then that might be enough. It requires
unbelievable patience, though I think if you already have a
housecat you pretty much know that getting it to do what you
want it to is a lost cause anyways.

The first thing you should understand about child custody when going through a divorce in New Jersey is that “physical” and “legal” custody are not equivalent. Legal Custody refers to which parent makes important decisions about the child’s health, education, and welfare. Physical Custody refers to the child’s primary residence. These two types of custody can be thought of in four categories explained as follows:

Shared Physical Custody

The child lives with each parent for an approximately equal amount of time on a rotating basis.

Joint Physical Custody

The child lives with one parent most of the time, but the other parent has parenting time.

Joint Legal Custody

Both parents consult with each other to make important decisions on behalf of the child, and both have access to the child’s personal records.

Sole Legal Custody

One parent is authorized to make important decisions on behalf of the child, and the other parent must be consulted, but the parent with sole legal custody has the final word.

Unless there is a real problem with one parent’s ability to parent or unless the parties cannot work together for the benefit of their child, courts favor joint legal custody.

According to Karen Meislik, a custody and visitation attorney in New Jersey, “in most instances, parents are given joint legal custody of their children.”

Court look at many aspects of a family’s relationship when asked to determine custody. They may consider what the child, if of sufficient age, has to say, and may look at the parents’ medical records, criminal records (if any), job histories, and similar items. However, according to the family law firm of Meislik & Levavy (www.meislikfamilylaw.com ), your chances of obtaining sole custody of your child are improved if you can show that you were the primary caregiver before and during the separation.

Proving that you were the primary caregiver

Which of the following statements are true, and cannot be said of the other parent?

● I arranged for daycare / babysitters
● I fixed breakfast for my child each day
● I took my child to doctor’s appointments
● I supervised my child most of the time
● I stayed at home from work when my child missed school
● I reviewed school report cards and helped with my child’s homework
● I disciplined my child in a responsible way
● I toilet trained my child
● I put my child to bed each night and/or woke my child each morning
● I attended parent – teacher conferences
● I took my child shopping for clothes and school supplies

Above all, the Court will assess the best interest of your child before any custody determination is made.

These, along with any other parental responsibilities you can prove, will help your visitation attorney obtain custody of your child for you.

This article does not constitute a client attorney relationship in any way. It is not meant to be used as professional legal advice. If you are involved in a divorce please contact a custody attorney for formal legal council before proceeding.

After divorce, the most important thing you can do is to move forward sensibly. Here are ten steps to help you on your way back to a fulfilling life.

1. Think single. As obvious as it may seem, you’re no longer one half of a couple and that can take some getting used to. After all, life as a single woman is very different to the life you’ve been leading for a major part of your life. Take time to understand the changes that are happening in your life and don’t expect it to be easy.

2. Remind yourself that it’s ok to be single. In a society where single women are often looked down at by their married peers, they can easily find themselves believing that they’re failures; that “real” women are involved in loving, lasting relationships. That simply isn’t true. More and more women are choosing to remain single, or to break out of unfulfilling relationships, something which shows strength rather than weakness. Surviving means believing in yourself and your capabilities as a single woman.

3. Don’t try to get even. No matter how angry you are at your partner, even if he’s been unfaithful to you, don’t try to get your own back. You’ll just end up exhausting your personal energy on something that isn’t going to be the least bit fruitful. It certainly won’t get him back but the bitterness will most likely stop you from moving on. You don’t deserve that, so don’t do it! Try to approach your anger in a sensible manner, one that will constructive in helping you back to a healthy, emotional state of mind. Writing down exactly what is making you angry and why can often help you to understand and deal with your feelings. Find a friend who’ll listen and tell her how you feel. Anger needs an outlet, but revenge isn’t a healthy way of venting it.

4. Accept that the relationship is over. When you’re living alone and your partner has moved on, it should be easy to accept that it’s over. Unfortunately, this is something that a lot of women have problems with. You may find yourself making excuses to visit him by forgetting things at his place or needing to discuss something trivial regarding the children. Don’t crowd him. Talk to him when you need to, visit if you must, but be polite, keep your distance emotionally, and accept that you now lead separate lives. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you will be able to find happiness again.

5. Don’t live in the past. No doubt you’ve got some great memories from your time together, you would never have stayed together as long as you did if there were never any good times. Remember them by all means, but don’t dwell on them. If you find yourself wishing that everything could be “like that” again, give yourself a mental slap and remind yourself that there are some fantastic moments waiting for you in the future and that the past is nothing but a memory. You can learn from it but you can’t change it or return to it. It’s over. Gone. The future is what you should be thinking about now!

6. Don’t drown yourself in guilt. You’ve probably said a few things that you didn’t mean and now regret but you can’t change that now. By all means apologise to your ex if it’ll make you feel better, but don’t expect your apology to change anything. Forgive yourself and learn from your mistakes.

7. Re-discover yourself! How much of yourself did you give up during your relationship? Did you find yourself bending over backwards to satisfy your partner? Now is the time to start living for you! Doing the things that make YOU happy will increase your self-confidence. Get a new hair-cut, re-arrange the furniture, enrol on a course. Do anything you like, but do it for YOU.

8. Sort out your finances. Your financial situation is bound to have changed and it’s important that you know exactly how much you have coming in. It’s easy to start over-spending while you’re wallowing in your self-pity. A little extra indulgence here and another there; it’s easy to fall into the trap so don’t be tempted. Getting yourself into debt will just make your life as a single woman unnecessarily difficult. If your income is low (or non-existent) contact Social Services Benefits Advice Service or your local Citizens Advice Bureau. They will have somebody available to assess your needs and help you claim any benefits that you may be eligible for.

9. Don’t become lonely. You may have found that your “couple friends” no longer invite you over or that your married friends don’t have the time to do the things you suggest. Don’t panic. This is perfectly normal and as time passes you will gradually find new friends. Whatever you do, be positive when you are with others as positive people always attract more friends. When you meet new people, they don’t want to listen to “doom and gloom”. They don’t know you yet and will probably find it difficult to be sympathetic to a complete stranger. Be cheery and make them smile, people will remember and like you for that.

10. Don’t get involved on the rebound! We’ve all heard it, but when you meet “that” guy, it’s so easy to forget. Keep your dates light and remember that there is a broad line between getting to know a person and bonding a close, intimate relationship. Don’t try to jump that line, it’s there to be crossed slowly. When you try to cross it too quickly you’ll be forcing the relationship and forced relationships rarely last. Yes, I know there are some whirlwind romances that have survived the test of time, but those are the exception, rather than the rule.

I’ve been married, single and a live-in partner. All sorts of relationships have their good and bad sides. When you’re single you might yearn for the stability of marriage; when you’re married you may envy the freedom of your single friends. Whatever happens, whether you choose to remain single or forge a new relationship, don’t keep comparing your life with that of your friends. You’re unique - your life is exceptional! Enjoy it!

If you are in sales it makes sense to stay in touch with all your sales contacts and keep doors open. If you blow smoke, lack integrity, pitch too hard then you are liable to piss off your prospect and potential customer and end up losing in the future any sale you might have had.

Some sales people will feel once someone says NO that that is a forever thing. Often as an owner of a company when I said NO, it was a forever situation, yet I always kept the brochures, sales information and filed it away somewhere.

In fact most companies do file sales information from various companies and this is something that makes sense. Make sure that your sales information is kept and make certain that you leave the door open and do not let it get slammed in your face with the “Forever NO” because once this happens you have burnt territory.

Not only for you, but for future salespeople in your company as you move up the food chain to larger account sales, larger territories or a new sales career somewhere else.

You must understand that it is widely known that sales people move around and sometimes a bad salesperson who is too abrasive will end up pissing off the prospect and close their door, but not necessarily your door.

You can reopen this door slowly and just introduce yourself, find out what went wrong, listen and work on ways to better service the client and bring your ideas forth each time, further opening the door. Some day that client may call you with a new problem to solve knowing you will work hard to get it done. Consider all this in 2006.

Is This Thing On?
Or, How Do You Know if Anyone is Reading Your Newsletter?

by Jim Schulte
copyright (c) 2003

It seems that every hour a new ezine or newsletter shows up on the Internet. They are endless in titles and content. Everybody has to have one to be successful with the program, product, or service they are offering the millions of “Internet Junkies” in oder to be able to quit their day jobs.

I don’t know who came up with the idea that a newsletter or ezine was an essential document in online marketing, but it appears that “they” were correct in that assumption. If you don’t have a vehicle in which to get your product to market, then you won’t have a market in which to sell your product.

Herein lies the question that many, if not all publishers and editors alike, cannot seem to answer. How do you know if anyone is reading your publication?

If you belong to any of the ad co-ops you know that you get subscribers on a daily basis. You watch your active subscriber count rise on a weekly basis, and your list server gives you endless pie charts that show first time visitors, repeat visitors, most recent visitors, pending subs, active subs, on and on and on.

None of that information tells you if any of those people are reading your newsletter. You know, the one you slave over day after day, week after week, trying to give all of those subs the best you can. So here is the question again. How do you know they are reading your publication?

The truthful answer to that question is, you really don’t know. Unfortunately, in this day and age when we can see an ant colony eating all of the goodies at the annual Martian company picnic, there is no miracle software (not yet anyway) that can tell us if anybody is reading all of these ezines.

It seems like such a simple task doesn’t it? Why can’t we have a sign like Mcdonalds that says, “Over One Billion Read Your Newsletter Today”. Radio and television stations have a ratings book that tell them how many people are watching and listening to their shows. So why can’t we find out how many people are reading our newsletters?

I recently did a survey of publishers with less than 200 subs, and ones with 10,000 plus. They all said the same thing. I don’t know how many people read my publication.

They did however offer ideas on how to get a handle on how many are really reading what you put out on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Some try offering free reports, or information, that always brings out the quiet ones.

One publisher offered this explanation. “I sent out my latest ezine, and minutes later I had 12 new leads that I was certain had to come from ezine readers because of the offer I was making”. That only told him that 12 people read his offer. But how many readers don’t respond to these types of offers, and how do you know THEY are reading the newsletter?

The bottom line to this whole thing is that no one really and truly knows how many people read the ezines and newsletters of the world. I thought that Terri Seymour hit the nail on the head with this quote “I do not know of a way to track the actual reading of an ezine, but I would love to find one”.

I say all of the publishers of the world should just keep banging away on their keyboards and put out the best damn publication they can. When you have no more subscribers, then scrap the whole ezine newsletter idea.

This could be a very hard thing for publishers to do however, because how will they know if they have lost all of their subscribers, when nobody knows how many subscribers read their newsletters in the first place.

The First Communion is first in many ways. It is the first formal event in a young person’s life, the beginning of a life of good character and a milestone in a seven year olds education. The First Communion portrait is especially treasured by the parents, showing the innocence and hope for the future in their young faces.

For these reasons, a natural, happy face takes precedence over creativity in posing. Communion poses are studies in confidence and naturalness. An ideal session starts with a standing full length pose holding the missal and rosary beads. Girls have their weight on the back foot, their front knee slightly bent toward the camera. Boys stand with legs slightly apart facing twenty degrees off center. Several shots from the left and right sides will assure a perfect expression.

While the subject is standing come in for a medium shot cropped just above the knee. Some happier expressions can be included in this variation. Lighting should be soft but modeling, say two and one half to one ratio.

Medium close up poses are the most popular, so concentrate on getting a good selection for the parents to choose from. A posing bench that simulates the altar rail places the hands and elbows comfortably at waist height. Variations include hands on missal, reading missal, looking up, smiling and serious. You should photograph both left and right sides for a good selection.

Girls allow a little more leeway in prop usage. White tulle placed over a bouquet of flowers, a white or brass candlestick with candle in the background or a small, round topped table holding the missal and gloves off to the side and behind the subject are appropriate props. If there is time, a seated pose for the girls can be effective. Boys can stand with their elbows on a raised marble column holding the missal, the other hand in their pocket.

Always check that the tie is centered and the collar fits snugly to the neck in front. If the shirt collar is too loose, place a roll of tissues behind the neck to tighten it up. Make sure the roll is not seen by the camera. Shirt cuffs ideally should show one half inch of white past the sleeve end. If this is impossible, then show no cuff at all. Too long cuffs can be rubber banded under the coat to the correct length. Veils should be checked for equal length on the sides and the crown centered on the head. Gloves look better held in the hand or on a pedestal, never worn. White dresses and accessories are a natural for high key photography. Boys in navy blue suits look better on a medium gray background with the edges darkened.

Some unusual shots can be tried for appreciative customers. A super close up with eyes raised is quite angelic. Place a small light above the lens for a nice catchlight. Profile shots with a candle and rosary are very effective for the more artistic clients. Throughout the session talk to your subject, tell them how nice they look and give them a chance to relax and look confident. At any sign of nervousness, take a break and distract them with conversation on another subject. Remember that expression is nine tenths of a good portrait.

Retired portrait and wedding photographer. Any thoughts?

My name is E-l-o-d-i-a. I wouldn’t make that up. My mother did, but I wouldn’t.

People often ask me if I got teased, when I was a child, because of my name. I tell them “Nope”. Children didn’t have a problem with my name. It’s the adults that seem to have a problem.”

Looking back, I have two theories why I wasn’t teased for my name. One is that children tease the obvious and they had plenty of material to work with, due to my nose. Two, they love to rhyme and there are not too many words that rhyme with the name Elodia (E-low-dee-a). Think about it. So far, I can only come up with one……..Cambodia. Trust me, after all the nose jokes “Elodia from Cambodia.” couldn’t’ have hurt my feelings one bit.

I can remember clearly, telling the teacher my name, on the first day of school, when I was five years old. She was not as prepared for the first day of kindergarten, as was I.
She should have worn gingham and black patent leather shoes. They helped.

She bent down and looked me in the eye and asked “What is your name?” I said “Elodia.” She then had this look of sheer horror on her face and she actually jumped backwards. I might as well have said Lucifer. Now that I think back, I guess I can understand her position. Here she was looking at this cute Caucasian, blonde, freckled face, pigtailed little girl (and I was cute) and then hearing this strange and “ethnic” sounding name escape from my lips. This wasn’t in the teacher’s manual. I could tell.

She became extremely nervous and said “Well. We’ll just have to think of something more appropriate to call you.” Now, can someone tell me what could be more appropriate to call me than my name?

She pleaded “You must have a nick-name. Don’t you?” I shook my head “No.” I wasn’t about to tell her my family called me “Baby Ann”. Next, I’d be telling her that I sleep with two of my sisters and I still wet the bed. No, she’ll just have to learn to deal with the cold hard facts. Hey, I thought I was the one coming to school to learn?

That was the first of many name adventures to come.

My name is Spanish. It sounds more like “E-lo-thee-a” with the accent. Try to imagine Antonio Banderas and how he would sound pronouncing my name. I do it all the time. Not that he would be, but I can dream.

I asked my mother where she got my name and she says she named me after a friend. Not just any friend, but her best-friend. However, I am over forty years old and I have yet to meet this friend. She doesn’t call, she doesn’t write. I have my suspicions.

Maybe she gave me a difficult name due to having had a hard time bringing me into this world. Call me crazy but I asked her and she said I almost killed her.

I asked about two of my sisters and did she have a hard time birthing them. She said one labor was only an hour and the other she didn’t even feel a cramp. She just pushed once and the other babies came out. Their names are Julie and Cathy. You decide.

My name is a great conversation starter. Here are some of the things people tell me after an introduction and what I am really thinking when I reply to them, politely, with a smile and a nod. Not too big a smile because I would hate for them to see me gritting my teeth.

“That is such an interesting name. Where did you get it?”

Thinking: “Um, Ebay?”

“Is it a family name?”

Thinking: “No, the people in my family…they have other names.”

“Your name is so pretty. It sounds so, so melodious.”

Thinking: “Take the “M” off melodious, you idiot, and you’ll find out why Elodia sounds so melodious.”

Then there are the funny people who say real slow and with a wave, “Hellllo- to- ya”, and that’s always cute. (Serious eye rolling going on here.)

It might sound like I am complaining but I honestly LOVE my name. I can’t imagine having had another one. Not that I’ve never been called anything else. I’m sure that’s happened. Once.

I wouldn’t trade my name, even if I could find personalized souvenirs while on vacation.

Because of my name I think I stand out in a crowd and I am remembered. Oh, never mind that’s my nose again, standing out in the crowd, but it does help me to be remembered. I think they remember me as the lady that they can’t remember how to say her name.

My name has given me a voice, as I have learned to tell the stories about my name over and over and over again. And best of all, it has taught me a sense of humor.

I now have eight daughters of my own and I have named them all Elodia. No wait. I didn’t do that. George Foreman did that. No, he didn’t name his daughters Elodia. He had lots of little George Foreman’s but he added the name “Grill” on the end. I see them everywhere.

No, I did the intelligent thing when I named my children. I gave them all names that start with the letter “D”. You should hear how smart I sound when I try calling one of them. I sound like a broken CD player “Da,da,da,da,da,da…….you whatever your name is. It starts with a “D”. Get over here!”

To confuse me further, my mother and my sister’s son, lived with us for a short time. Their names are Dora and Danny. We just referred to them as “Da-motha” and “Da-nephew”.

My point is…no matter what you name your child, they may or may not wind up liking their name, but they are still going to wish you had given them a nose job at thirteen.

Schooling at home is called homeschooling. This is where children are educated at home, either by their parents, or by private tutors. Homeschooling has become popular these days especially with kids whose parents have a shifting job. This is more convenient, as shifting schools is not only a problem for the parents, but also it may disturb the child’s study cycle.

Why go for home schooling?

Many parents also believe that home schooling can provide their children a custom and complete education, which many believe is inaccessible in private or public schools. Home schooling is known to be the traditional method of teaching. Some parents also feel that along with education on various subjects, religious education is equally necessary. Most times it is not available in public schools. It may be available in private schools, but they may be too expensive for the family to afford, or faith taught in schools may be different from their family religion.

Know your child’s learning style:

The parents should see to it that their children are not debarred from any of the education available in schools. Try to study your child and observe his or her interests. Some children show signs from a very early age. They may be into outdoor games, like to play with colors or music. Some may like mechanical stuff like counting and building blocks, modeling clay, putting lego together, or they may like to read, or listen to recordings of storybooks. This way you will know how to deal with them, teach them, and mould their interests. Children learn in different ways; by touching and handling things, by listening, and by visual methods like reading. They tend to be very inquisitive and love to learn new things.

You can get DVD’s and instructional videos about life, science, geography etc. This way they will be exposed to a wide concept about everything around them. National Geographic has come up with lovely series which are very informative. You can get these DVD’s from stores, and they are easily available these days. Interesting and stimulating videos will help the children develop their mental faculties and will entertain them at the same time.

Teaching at home is much less expensive, as for a private school you will end up paying up to amounts of $3500 or more. But never try to skimp on this expense. Try and set aside a specified amount for home school supplies so that you would not have to compromise on their quality of education. This way you can buy those encyclopedia Britannica DVD’s or painting brushes you need, without affecting your family budget.

Homeschooling has its own benefits. Your children would always be under your watch. Also you would know about their progress, so if they are lagging behind in some subjects, you would be able to help them. Sometimes you may have to face volumes of questions from other parents which may not be very encouraging, but that should not discourage you from what you are doing, because you would know what’s best for your children. Never forget that it is the outcome that is important so always focus your educational goals.
