Peninsula, Ohio - Cuyahoga Valley National Park
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon so my family decided to take a day trip to Peninsula, Ohio and the trails of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We explored with the kids for quite a while, just missing the train leaving the station. Seems to be a popular trail for bicyclists.

Ray's MTB at Boston Mills Run 1
Better conditions than the later second run. Still lots of slipping and lack of grip, especially with the front tire.
Still not sure what the optimal pressure for the tire should be, especially since this was actually the very first time I had ever even ridden a fat bike.
Parker Jax's first NASTAR ski race course at Boston Mills Resort 2.3.12
No personal income, wages, etc. was used to produce this video. All expenses were paid by personal credit cards and/or loans, which are paid by other personal credit cards and/or loans.
NASTAR is the acronym for the NAtional STAndard Race and is the largest public grassroots ski race program in the world. More than 95,000 Nature Valley NASTAR participants compete throughout the season to win platinum, gold, silver and bronze medals in their age and gender groups. In addition, participants are ranked in their ability group and the top ranked racers qualify to compete in the Nature Valley NASTAR National Championships.
NASTAR was developed by SKI Magazine in 1968 to provide recreational racers with an opportunity to compete and to compare their scores to friends and family members regardless of when and where they race. The NASTAR handicap system is a universal scoring system that provides participants with a tangible number that represents their ability. The NASTAR.com web site records each participants stats and ranks each racer at the host resort, in their state of residence and nationally. The NASTAR program has a successful partnership with the U.S. Ski Team as its premier youth racing feeder program.

Parker Jax Extreme Snow Tubing at Brandywine Polar Blast 1.5.13
No personal income, wages, etc. was used to produce this video. All expenses were paid by personal credit cards and/or loans, which are paid by other personal credit cards and/or loans.

More than 3 football fields in length
11 state-of-the-art SMI snowmaking fan guns to keep the chutes stocked with snow

Snow Tubing FAQ's:
What not to wear
Helmets and ski boots are not allowed while tubing.
How old do you have to be to enjoy a ride on a snow tube at Polar Blast?
Anyone can snow tube. There is no minimum or maximum age--we've seen smiles on snow tubers from age 2 to age 80! As long as a person is able to ride in his or her own tube down the snow tubing hill, they can snow tube at Polar Blast.
Do I have to walk back up to the top of the hill?
No. Our two conveyor lifts at Polar Blast will give you a ride back up to the top. Think of them as moving sidewalks that go uphill... you simply step onto the conveyor at the bottom, and then step off onto the snow once your effortless ride to the top is complete!
Can two people share a snow tube?
Every snow tuber must ride on his or her own tube. However... Tubers are allowed to go down the chutes together in a group; the maximum number of tubers allowed to go down a paritcular chute at once depends on the current conditions.
When is the best time to go snow tubing?
That depends on what you're looking for...
If you want some speed: Evenings (like our EXTREME Tubing nights) are typically a little faster once the sun goes down and the temperatures drop. However, conditions and speed varies due to time of day, temperature and other weather factors, traffic on the chutes, snowmaking and grooming, and other factors.
If you want to snow tube at a quieter time of the day: Sunday mornings often have the least amount of snow tubers. Of course, there is no way for us to tell when the snow tubing crowd is going to arrive, so we can't guarantee you a quiet time of the day... but the good news is that when it comes to snow tubing, the old saying, The more, the merrier! definitely applies!
What do we wear snow tubing?
Whether watching or sliding, you'll be in the outdoors so remember to dress warmly.
The best way to dress for winter is to wear layers: The exterior protection layer of a shell and pants serves as your guard against the elements and should be waterproof.
Cover your head--with a hat, hood or both--as this is where most of your body heat escapes.
Keep your hands warm by wearing gloves (preferably waterproof) that fit well.
Other essentials are warm socks and sunscreen. (Sunscreen isn't just for summer, you know.) Being prepared to be outside helps ensure that you will have the best time you can while you're out playing in the snow!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Massachusetts ( (listen), ), officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is the most populous state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island to the south, New Hampshire and Vermont to the north, and New York to the west. The state is named after the Massachusett tribe, which once inhabited the east side of the area, and is one of the original thirteen states. The capital of Massachusetts is Boston, which is also the most populous city in New England. Over 80% of Massachusetts's population lives in the Greater Boston metropolitan area, a region influential upon American history, academia, and industry. Originally dependent on agriculture, fishing and trade, Massachusetts was transformed into a manufacturing center during the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, Massachusetts's economy shifted from manufacturing to services. Modern Massachusetts is a global leader in biotechnology, engineering, higher education, finance, and maritime trade.Plymouth was the site of the first colony in New England, founded in 1620 by the Pilgrims, passengers of the Mayflower. In 1692, the town of Salem and surrounding areas experienced one of America's most infamous cases of mass hysteria, the Salem witch trials. In 1777, General Henry Knox founded the Springfield Armory, which during the Industrial Revolution catalyzed numerous important technological advances, including interchangeable parts. In 1786, Shays' Rebellion, a populist revolt led by disaffected American Revolutionary War veterans, influenced the United States Constitutional Convention. In the 18th century, the Protestant First Great Awakening, which swept the Atlantic World, originated from the pulpit of Northampton preacher Jonathan Edwards. In the late 18th century, Boston became known as the Cradle of Liberty for the agitation there that led to the American Revolution.
The entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts has played a powerful commercial and cultural role in the history of the United States. Before the American Civil War, Massachusetts was a center for the abolitionist, temperance, and transcendentalist movements. In the late 19th century, the sports of basketball and volleyball were invented in the western Massachusetts cities of Springfield and Holyoke, respectively. In 2004, Massachusetts became the first U.S. state to legally recognize same-sex marriage as a result of the decision in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Many prominent American political dynasties have hailed from the state, including the Adams and Kennedy families. Harvard University in Cambridge is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, with the largest financial endowment of any university, and Harvard Law School has educated a contemporaneous majority of J ...
