The thought of sending your child to a wilderness camp is frightening. You would be sending them far away to people that you've only talked to on the phone. When considering if a wilderness camp is right for your teen there are a few things that you should know before making the final decision. Not all wilderness camps are the same. Wilderness camps vary greatly from very rough to more mild. The rougher camps are required to carry all their food in their packs. This food usually consists of beans, lentils, and flour. Once a week their food supply is restocked. The teens are stripped of everything they own and given the bare minimum to survive. They then have to complete tasks that allow them to...

We got a taste of the Rocky Mountain spirit when we first arrived at the tiny Montrose Junction Airport, about an hour and a half's drive from our destination of Telluride. As my spouse and I loaded into the shuttle, I reminded our driver that we had requested a child car seat. "Here's what we've got," he said, handing me a tattered booster seat. "This is actually a booster," I told the driver, trying not to sound too much like an LA diva. "My son is only two. He needs a car seat with a harness to keep him in." "No worries. This is Colorado. He can join us for a drink later if he wants," the driver said with a laugh as he heaved our bags into the back of the van. OK, it was time to let loose. I...

Jeeps have been produced for the military and for civilians since the 1940s, and there have been a large variety of Jeep models produced. Jeep gas mileage has changed with the times as well, not that much and some vehicles got worse, but change has happened. Jeep gas mileage does vary model to model, and if you want a Jeep there are models that have decent gas mileage. For example, the 2008 Compass 2WD gets 23 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway, which is not that bad for an SUV. Diesel models also get good gas mileage, so you can get a powerful SUV and get better gas mileage than you would with a regular model. The Jeep Grand Cherokee 2WD diesel model gets 18 miles...

When athletes get ready for a competition, the kind of food they put in their bodies is more important than ever. They type of food, and when they eat it, is important even before an event or competition. The food athletes eat will supply them with the energy they need to perform at their best and can greatly affect the outcome of their performance. It is important for athletes and sports players to remember that performing on a full stomach in not the best for their bodies. An overly full stomach can cause problems such as sluggishness, cramping, and even nausea. It is therefore best for athletes to eat a full meal from one to four hours prior to an event or sport. This time period allows the body...

Clear substitutions or complements? Many people may argue that they are actually substitutes, however after researching both techniques for nail preservation and improved cosmetic appearance we come to the conclusion that these two techniques actually complement each other. Our physical appearance plays a very important roll within the social circle we interact with. People form a mental image of use based on our looks. If we are messy and have ugly/dirty looking nails most people would conclude that we do not follow basic hygiene steps to ensure good appearance; if on the other hand we keep a sharp look as well as attractive-well polished nails the people we meet are most likely to accept us as...

Whether you want to build muscle mass or slim your waistline, understanding the different aspects of healthy eating is critical you reaching your physical goals. As part of a healthy diet, protein is a key part of your diet that deserves a little attention and understanding. In fact, protein is so important that it is part of every part of your body. Each of your cells, tissues, and organs in your body contains some amount of protein.

Proteins are made up of amino acids, and...

Believe it or not, if you are actively pursuing an acting career, your career starts with an audition. Not with acting school, not with finding a talent management agent or agency, and definitely not with landing your first gig as an actor. At this point, you might be greatly confused, but this is simply because an audition is where directors are looking for talented individuals that will be perfect for playing a part in a television commercial, television show, or possibly a movie. Because acting auditions are held on a regular basis and all over the country, you need to seek out and hire a good agent or agency to help you seek out and find these opportunities on a daily basis. If you want to...

Jim Collins, author of Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…And Others don't, conducted a case study with his research team spanning 15 years and 11 companies, cross-examining company characteristics and uncovering what the good-to-great companies had in common.

Each of these elements addresses operational practices, management, and personnel behavior or attitudes that are critical elements in the transition from good to great. 1. Great companies have disciplined people, disciplined thought, and disciplined action. 2. Great companies have Level 5 leaders...

Reflections on ladder safety from a college house painter: Things Werner ladders were never meant to do Like many other starving college students, I had my job no one in their right mind would have taken. Of course, it came with the promise of more money than I had ever seen. This too-good-to-be-true dream job was managing a summer house painting business in Park City, Utah. I started with no idea how to run a business or paint a house, but somehow I made a little money and more miraculously, no one was crippled falling off a ladder. This experience came back to me recently while I was watching an infomercial for the Little Giant Ladder System. I almost cried to see how easily they did jobs with a...

You're sitting in your car listening to James Taylor on the radio as you wait for the red light to change, when the kid behind you looks down to change the song on his Ipod and slams into the back of your car. The insurance company sends an adjuster out to inspect the damage. A settlement offer arrives in the mail two days later but the insurance company is offering $2,800 less than what you owe on your loan, what can you do? Most Americans have never heard about gap insurance and if they have, they probably heard about it after an accident and wondered why no one told them about it earlier. Gap Insurance is a small insurance policy on your car loan that kicks in when the amount the insurance...

"Should I tell them about my pre-existing condition?" "Will it hurt my case?" are questions injury clients often ask. You don't want to hide anything about your medical history from the other side. First, you have an obligation to share the information. Second, a preexisting condition that is aggravated can mean more compensation than if you were completely healthy before the accident. Take the case of Shannon whose car was struck from behind while sitting in traffic. There was no visible damage to her Toyota Supra. Ordinarily a low property damage case like this one would not be worth much. However, she began to feel pain in her neck right after the accident and was taken to the emergency room. A...

Sally is injured in a car accident. Her injuries make her unable to work. She receives substantial discounts from her health care providers and her remaining bills are paid by Medicaid. At trial the insurance defense attorney hired by the at-fault driver wants to tell the jury about the discounts and Medicaid payments. Will the trial judge allow him to do so? No, says the "collateral source rule." At least not if she lives in one of the states that still support the rule. Collateral Source Rule Explained The term "collateral" as used here means simply "additional." The at-fault driver or "tortfeasor" as the law calls him, is responsible for making the injured person whole. This includes making sure...

Have you been in a car accident? Here are some helpful suggestions: 1. Make a diagram of the accident, and take down all pertinent information from drivers, passengers and witnesses. 2. Take pictures of visible damage to your auto and of visible injury to your body. 3. Call police to have them come to the accident scene to make a report. Tell police about any injuries that you may have from the accident. If police refuse to send someone to the scene, go to the nearest police station and file a report. 4. Go to a doctor to have your injuries evaluated. 5. Call the insurance companies to report the accident. 6. Have your auto damage estimated at a quality repair facility. 7. Keep daily logs of your...

As a financial advisor, I've found my clients ask a broad range of questions concerning their financial situation. However, these questions are all elements of one basic question: "am I going to be okay?" Here is a sample of the types of questions you should be asking yourself: * Am I going to be able to retire by the age I have targeted? Can I afford to retire early? * Once I retire, will I be able to maintain my current standard of living? * If something happens to me, will there be enough money to take care of my spouse, children, and parents? * What if I live longer than I anticipate? Will I have enough money to support myself? * Can I afford to contribute to my favorite charities? * Can I pay...

When hosting a corporate event, whether casual or black tie, it is important to remember the food will set the ambiance and overall tone of the party. Working in Salt Lake City, Utah, I have been to my fair share of corporate events. Some have been great and others not so great. In every case, the catering was the determining factor of the overall success of the event. Here are some guidelines to remember when it comes to making your event a smash. Theme - Choose a theme that is fitting for the event, which may depend on the reason for the affair. If the event is for something casual, such as a retirement party or employee Christmas party, choose a fun and festive theme. More formal events...

If you haven't yet locked your keys inside your car, you will someday. The odds are heavily against you, because this is one of the most common slip-ups to haunt the civilized world. Personally I've done it no less than ten times myself over a period of, say, twenty years...and I'm a Locksmith! Now, how can you turn this into a benefit? If you happen to be looking for a high profit, super interesting career you could do a lot worse than to consider becoming a Lockout Specialist. I know whereof I speak, because as a working Locksmith since 1983 I've opened (literally) countless vehicles and I've had many instances where I made upwards of $200 per hour over several hours at a time. I can recall...

I never believed Senator McCain’s age should be, as Ronald Reagan put it, “exploited for political purposes.” But his choice of running mate makes his age and health relevant. This choice was clearly political. Governor Palin, he thought, would excite his skeptical base and maybe win over Hillary Clinton supporters. Knowing she is an avid hunter, a conservative, a Washington outsider, and a maverick, McCain fell in love at first sight. But where does this leave America? Nine out of 43 American presidents did not complete their term in office. That’s more than one in five. Not a high probability, but not a remote possibility either. Should it happen in a McCain presidency, Palin would be...

Nowadays, with high costs of living, being practical is the name of the game. This especially goes to college students who have expenses to consider in order to finish school while contemplating on textbook expenditures as priority. If you are willing to win over escalating costs of commodities, and most especially the expensive costs of learning, gather your act now and start considering alternatives. Looking into the use or purchase of secondhand books is just a great start. New books may be fancy and quite pleasing to use, but while these books look and smell new, their state naturally reflects its price. Titled textbooks with scholarly subjects cost pretty high. Its price ranges from a minimum...

Reflexology is a practice that seeks to balance the body, mind and spirit by actively activating the healing powers of the body. Although not a medical practice, significant research and observation has highlighted the benefits of reflexology time and time again. Reflexology is both a new and an old practice. Although practiced for better health by ancient cultures such as the Egyptians and Chinese, the art has developed and improved through time into the practice we now refer to as reflexology. So how does it work? Well in a nut shell, the practice of reflexology is based on the theory that energy zones throughout the body and reflex areas in one's feet correspond to major organs, glands and body...

On average, college students change their major a number of times before finishing school. Though they may go into school with a good idea of where they'd like to end up, statistics say that those ambitions will change a number of times before it's all through. Here's the thing: if we're so prone to change what we will end up studying, wouldn't it be a good idea to get good grades throughout? Though you may think you only need a certain GPA to get into a certain program, what happens when that ambition quickly changes, and you're now in a position that makes it nearly impossible to do what you'd really like to do? This happens to more than you might think! Most Freshman haven't a clue what they want...

Many injuries to newborns are avoidable.  Permanent brain damage caused by fetal distress is often caused by tragic errors and mistakes by the obstetrical team.  Injury to the newborn baby’s brain is many times due to failing to properly manage the labor and delivery, leading to cerebral palsy. The following is a list of possible medical errors that can lead to fetal brain injury: Failure to respond to umbilical cord compression Failure to respond to fetal distress and fetal monitoring sensors Failure to respond to the need for a cesarean section in a timely manner Misuse of forceps Misuse of extractor The alert obstetrician will observe potential problems and immediately take the proper steps...
