Whether your trying to hook up, get a promotion at work or just trying to understand the male mindset slightly better, the 3 points below will exponentially increase your confidence with guys, and it will show. Guys will smile at you more, appreciative of your change in character towards them and life will be that much more enjoyable. The potential to land a guy greatly increases, as any guy you come into contact with is a possibility. Surely it can't be that simple, you ask yourself. Well, it's up to you to read the tips below and put them into practice.
1. PATIENCE. For some reason, a lot of girls are ticked off by guys who can't follow simple instructions. We all know that females are the superior of the two races. Females are better at multitasking, at conflict resolution and at arguing a case through successfully. Guys will eventually understand what you say, but you may have to explain it to them in simpler terms, or repeat it a few times for them to process. A patient female at home is also a delight. Man of the house, move aside, a patient mother and wife is truly spectacular and will be loved by all.
Book For Men
2. CONFIDENCE. It doesn't matter if a female is intelligent, witty or funny. If she's unsure of herself, it will show in her stance, her expression and her actions. All guys LOVE a confident female. A girl I knew at school was the shyest thing ever. When she did an oral presentation about whaling, her personality just shone and my eyes did not leave her for the whole 10 minutes of her speech. You can be shy but confident at the same time. In fact, a lot of guys dig shy girls too. It just takes some practice on your behalf to start conversations and be yourself.
3 Things Guys Look For in a Girl
3.DOWN-TO-EARTH. All guys love a girl who is themselves and who isn't trying to be someone else. Us guys hate it when girls are affected by something that's really insignificant and it changes them for the worse. Being down-to-earth usually goes hand in hand with confidence because if a girl is down-to-earth, they usually don't care about what people think about them and that's a perfect recipe for a guy magnet. A girl who's down-to-earth who enters a room will make people calm, laugh and is generally someone who's easy to get along with. If you can't believe how simple those above three tips are, then I suggest you read over them again and digest them. This is from a real guys who appreciates real girls. No matter what background you are from, those three things are things guys look for in an ideal girl. If you're just trying to get a bit of extra attention, be prepared for much more attention as you shine like you never have before from applying the above 3 rules.

Nude yoga may seem strange and unappealing to some, but it is a growing trend among a whole new generation of yoga enthusiasts.
The very purpose of yoga is to align your spirit and live in a present state. The best way to do this is to lose a sense of all material possessions and worldly thoughts during yoga and meditation. This may naturally include shedding your clothes. You will notice once you are free from the restrictions of clothing you can experience an increase in mobility, flexibility and respiration.
Book For Men
Nude yoga is the next step for many casual yoga enthusiasts as they continue their journey to living in a present state. To some it may seem rather over the top. It truly is a drastic measure, necessary only for open minded souls with a desire to feel completely free from all worldly constraints in a quiet time of meditation and yoga.
Nude Yoga - Naked Yoga For Men and Women
Although some self conscious individuals may find that completely exposing themselves is uncomfortable and distracting, it is not the only option for a naked yoga feeling. For those who do not feel comfortable with being nude for any extended period of time; here is a method from a select group of people that have learned to use a thinner than normal yoga attire such as "under armor", to give an illusion or feeling of being nude without having to actually be.
I would suggest everyone try nude aerobic yoga solely for the enhanced experience. It may not be a practice for everyone, but it may also be a special key to unique self discovery as you continue the journey into the vast world of yoga.

These organic gardening books are those that have had the most profound effect on me, and I have read a lot of gardening books. But these books are the best of the best, in my opinion.
Botany / Plants Book
Book For Men
The Secret Life of Plants. The authors of Secrets Of The Soil put out amazing organic gardening books and this classic is a look at the world of plants and their relationship to us. It goes into how plants can think, how they respond to music, and how they respond to being loved/being threatened, yet sprinkled throughout are many lessons we can actually use in the garden. Anyone who believes plants are sentient beings will love this book. A must read.

Microorganism Book
Teaming with Microbes. Healthy organic soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. These guys make the benefits of cultivating the soil food web available to a wide audience, from us organic gardening and farming addicts to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy, vigorous plants without resorting to chemicals. I highly recommend this as one of the organic gardening books for you.
Organic Soil Management Book
The Non-Toxic Farming Handbook. This book is not only for farmers! It is a successful integration of diverse techniques and technologies of classical organic farming, Albrecht-style soil fertility balancing, and Reams-method organic soil and plant testing and analysis, and it is great for organic home gardeners. It covers fertility inputs, in-the-field testing, foliar feeding, refractometers, tillage, livestock nutrition, moon cycles and subtle energies, and more.
Permaculture Book
Gaia's Garden. This is one of my favorite organic gardening books for beginners. It describes an organic gardening system that combines the best features of wildlife habitat, edible landscapes, and conventional gardens into a self-renewing landscape that lets nature do most of the work. It has many good design principles, so it is partially a design book. This is my favorite introduction to permaculture because it is a fun read that really simplifies the topic. It's not as comprehensive as Mollison's works, but a great intro. I love this book.
Vegetable Gardening Book
The Gardener's A-Z Guide to Growing Organic Food. This is one of those organic gardening books that shows you how to select, grow, harvest, and store more than 765 varieties of vegetables, herbs, fruits and nuts. Not all that much info on growing from seed and transplanting, but a pretty darn big encyclopedia of food plants and good information on vegetable garden layout.
General Organic Gardening Book
Working With Nature - Shifting Paradigms. This organic gardening book was the first written by one of my gardening mentors, Heide Hermary, founder of Gaia College. It describes ecologically sound organic soil and water management practices and introduces the concept of landscape health management. It summarizes some of the most important information from other books listed on this page, and more importantly, it makes connections between seemingly disparate topics.

Here's 5 cool tattoos for guys. Consider these ink options as they have been around for a long time and always will be considered cool.
1. Star Tattoos. Not many other tattoos have all these things going for them: simplicity yet strong symbolism, modern and old school design, small or big, can be placed and look good anywhere on the body, and they have a solid and strong history. Stars are strong tattoos which have various forms of symbolism. They have stood the test of time as their history goes back to sailors who would get nautical stars to symbolize safe journeys at sea. Now days mixed martial arts fighters, military, musicians, and anyone else wishing to symbolize finding ones own direction in life get the star tattoo.
Book For Men
2. Old School Tats. Cool tattoos for guys should definitely include the old school designs. Now days we've become lost in the modern trends of tattooing. Too much tribal trends and chain links around the biceps. Come on, let's get back to the real deal old school ink. These tats have stood the test of time proving that they overpower all the other trendy ink that comes and goes. If you really want to find some cool tattoos for guys, then look to the past in order to find your future ink.

3. Full Sleeve. Now days there are some incredible full sleeve designs that look great on guys. It used to be full sleeves were a blur of unrecognizable ink that would badly fade throughout the years. Now you have full sleeves that pop out with detail, are filled with intense color and are really works of art.
4. Half Sleeve. If you don't want to go all the way, half sleeves can be just as intense, while costing less and requiring less time to put on. You can choose to do your forearm or your upper arm. Half sleeves can actually draw more detailed attention, as you have less of a space to view, rather than getting "lost" in the overall intensity of a full sleeve.
5. Dragon Tattoos. Finally, we have dragon tattoos that sometimes don't get as much attention as they should. These are classic, strong designs, filled with detail and color. Dragon tats are actually a good alternative if you don't want to get a full sleeve or half sleeve, but you still want to get an intense design that can cover a lot of a particular body area.

I'm just going to say it right now, I hate clubbing. The music's too loud, a lot of creepy guys are there, and people in my crew are always getting drunk. Not to mention that the club has its reputation as one of the hardest places to pick up women. However for all the negatives there are, I find myself going there every week. On a Saturday night, that's where all the attractive women on.
Clubbing is what separates the men from the boys. You're either one of the guys dancing with women on the floor, or you're on the sideline with your Corona watching him. It's difficult, but definitely possible.
Book For Men
1. Whoever approaches the most, leaves with the most numbers
Tips for Going Clubbing for Men
When it comes down to it, clubbing is really just a numbers game. Some women come to the club just to dance with their girlfriends (while dressing like they want every guy to approaching them). It's hard to weed out which girls are approachable and which are not. The best thing to do is to just grab your balls, and go for it. If you get rejected, then move on to the next girl. And don't take it personally or let it ruin your night. If you approach a girl, you have a 50% chance of success. If you don't approach, then you have 0%.
2. It's all about Social Proof
Not only do people judge you by what you wear, but they also judge you by who you're with. Who's more attractive: The guy with a few girls at the bar taking shots with them, or the guy with his friends standing near the wall checking out the dance floor? I always try to take females friends along when I can. I like to dance with them at the beginning because it lets me scout the area to see who's there, much better than walking around by yourself.
The majority of women that I meet are through people I already know in the club. After you start going there a while, you'll get to know more people and start noticing a lot of the same groups go every week. When I enter I say hi to everyone I know, and usually they bring with them some friends. I get introduced and it's game on, no need for the approach phase.
3. What to wear
Many clubs are strict when it comes to the way you dress entering the club. My friend gets in all the time for this one club wearing black converses, but he can't get into another wearing the same thing.
The "safe" outfit - Black oxfords, dark socks, dark jeans, a button up dress shirt (top 1-2 buttons unbuttoned and you can roll up the sleeves to slightly below the elbows).
You can get into any club wearing this and you won't look "bad." But if you read my article on peacocking, then you know you want to look a little bit different from the standard. Personally I like wearing a t-shirt with an interesting blazer.
I know this is common sense, but please take a shower and wear some anti-perspirant before you go out. Also put on some decent cologne because you're going to get close when you dance. My two favorites are Issey Miyake and Burberry Brit. If you don't have a cologne, ask a female friend to help you pick one out at Sephora or Macy's.
4. Have a good wingman
Women are never alone in the club. The best targets in my opinion are when two girls are by themselves. You can approach them by yourself, but the girl you're with is not going to leave her friend to dance with you. That's where having a good wingman can be helpful. Also wingmen can encourage you to to approach and help you rebound. I remember one time we had an approach go bad. Afterwards my wingman told me "Man those bitches are ugly anyways, let's find someone else." We kept going and found ourselves even better women later.
The golden rule is whoever approaches the girls and picks them up, gets first pick. So don't be bitching about getting the fat chick if your buddy made the moves ;).
5. Don't drink too much
Self-explanatory.
6. Timeline
Approach -> Talk -> Dance -> Get her phone # -> Go somewhere with her.
You approach the women with whatever opener you have. You talk to her a bit and engage her. When a song I like comes on I tell her I love this songs. "Let's go dance" and take her hand to the dance floor.
The dance floor is something that comes with experience and hard to put into words. But basically you make small advances towards her and see what her limits are. I've had success making out with women on the dance floor, but the majority of them just want to dance at this stage. After dancing I take her back to where my friends are and we all drink. Talk to her a bit more and get her phone number. The clubs usually close at 2 or 3am and I always go out and eat with my friends, so I will invite her along. After that the rest is up to you.
Clubbing can be intimidating for anyone that's going there for the first time. But like all things, you'll improve with experience.

'Three Men in a Boat' is undoubtedly the funniest book ever to be published. If you are in love with P.G. Wodehouse's work then you'll certainly love this classic written by Jerome K Jerome. It happens to be the most humorous book that I have laid a hand on. It was published in year 1889 and captures the story of three protagonists on a holiday on the river Thames. 'Three Men in a Boat' was followed by another book 'Three Men on a Bummel' which was not as successful as the former one in its times, but is equally interesting to read.
The book starts with three friends George, Harris and J. (the narrator) sitting together and discussing their sufferings and other trivial matters that have contributed towards their ill health. J, the narrator, is so confused by his symptoms that he refers to a medical book and happens to misconceive that he has got almost every possible ailment recorded in there. At one point he is so exasperated that he says- "I thought what an interesting case I would be from a medical point of view, what an acquisition I should be to the class! Students would have no need 'to walk the hospitals', if they had me. I was a hospital in myself. All they need to do would be to walk round me, and, after that, take their diploma."
Book For Men
The friends discuss their problems and come to unanimous decision that all their sufferings are because of being overworked and they need a holiday to rejuvenate themselves. Planning and arranging things turn out to be a herculean task as they seem to have different opinions and choices. While deciding upon what to carry and what not to carry, they talk about instances encountered in the past which were really annoying and funny at the same time. Their objection to carry paraffin oil on the boat because of a previous unpleasant experience confines them to carry methylated spirit instead.
Three Men in a Boat - Funniest Book Ever
Once everything is settled, they decide to meet at Kingston from where they would embark on their boating trip. Along with Montmorency, the narrator's dog, they reach Kingston by a train after a lot of confusion and chaos. The rest of the story captures the adventures of these three friends on the river. The precise description unfolds picturesque beauty of the river and towns they pass through. While travelling they talk about many instances that will make you laugh. They make comments on early English history, carved oak, Hampton Court and so many other things. Their individual experiences have been brought together in the story so well that it makes the entire experience humorous. They talk about almost everything while travelling like camping, boating, singing, sailing and rafting. Each of their topics of discussion is on a funnier side. They also encounter quite a few mishaps while travelling that are interesting and idiotic.
'Three Men in a Boat' has a wonderful capability of acquainting the readers with the 19th century England. The humor in the story is brought forth so intelligently that you cannot resist yourself from laughing out loud. The tongue in cheek humor is behind the success of this book. 'Three Men in a Boat' is truly Jerome K Jerome's masterpiece which has not been read by quite a few of us. In case if you have missed this one then go ahead and grab a copy...you are not going to regret it for sure!

For a lot of folks, the words "gift basket" and "men" do not necessarily go together. After all, when most of us think of baskets, we think of one filled with fruit, fragrant soaps or body oils: not exactly the stuff of dreams for most guys.
However, gift baskets are definitely on the rise in terms of popularity for both sexes. When it comes to suiting men's tastes, it can be filled with just about any type of guy-friendly food or goods that you can dream up. Just make sure it is all small enough to fit into a basket! Gift baskets are a great choice for men who are recovery after surgery or a serious illness.
Book For Men
If you are looking for gifts for men and get well ideas, here are 5 ideas you can use right away to select the perfect gift basket for your guy:
Gift Baskets For Men and Get Well Ideas - 5 Ideas
1. Men's Magazines:
Men's magazines fill the shelves of almost any supermarket or book store nowadays. And, they are not all just of the nude magazine variety - you know, the kind that would make a guy blush if his mother caught him reading one. Rather, most of them are PG-rated, containing a healthy mix of articles on the latest electronic gadgets, sports, fast cars, and, yes, a few scantily-clad ladies here and there. Pretty tame stuff, but the man in your life will appreciate a basket full of them.
2. Massage And Spa:
Everybody loves a good massage. And you can bet that there is a spa salon with massage services for both men and women in your area. Massage gift certificates are always appreciated. If a gift certificate is too pricey, consider getting him a massage and spa gift basket. The man you are shopping for will love a massage gift basket filled with massage oils, a towel, and maybe a face cleansing bar or two.
3. Tools:
Most guys love tools - after all, they are just so useful! Why not put together a tools gift basket for the man in your life who is in recovery? You can stick with the fairly inexpensive stuff and still find lots of tools that will please him. For example, throw in a high-powered LED flashlight, an all-in-one screwdriver set... or what about one of those electronic stud finders?
4. Sports Fun:
If sports are what this guy loves, why not indulge him a bit with a sports-themed gift basket? Find a book (preferably one full of pictures) featuring his favorite sport. Add in a "greatest moments in sports"-type video. And maybe a magazine or two. This will definitely help him pass the time while he starts to feel better.
5. Audio Books:
People who are in recovery mode are always looking for better ways to pass the time. How about books on tape (or CD)? Put together 2-3 audio books and maybe a few candy bars and he will have something to do to make the time pass as he gets well.
Choose a gift basket or create your own basket for that special man in your life. And, forget the frilly bows and other niceties that adorn most baskets made for women: just keep the basket plain-looking. Just make sure it is full of the good stuff, and your guy is likely to be more than pleased.

While we have reams and reams of statistics about divorce and especially about women and divorce there is a sad lack of knowledge or even acknowledgment of what happens to men after divorce. While no one seems to want to deal with the emotions of men, especially other men it seems there is a growing problem with men not dealing with post divorce life because of a lack of support, understanding and care by the community.
Why this is the case is a complex bundle of ingrained social beliefs about the stoicism of men along with some bias by the media against men because of the behavior of the few and the fact that men themselves are disinclined to seek help or if they do, go about it the wrong way making matters worse.
Book For Men
One of the most important pieces of advice to men after divorce is that they stop trying to analyze and fix a problem! Men are used to fixing things, if not with their hands with their minds, we are born problem solvers and success often comes from fixing things that are broken or not working properly be it a leaky tap, a failing business, a child's tears or their own relationships. The problem is sometimes things cannot be fixed by applying an immediate solution and when a divorce has happened and the realization hits there is no precise solution to mending a broken heart especially if the man is less inclined to introspection.
Men After Divorce - Advice For Men Struggling to Cope
When going about trying to pick their life back up men after divorce fall into a few basic categories that seem to come from our instincts: Fight or flight. Men after divorce can flee from their troubles leading to denial of their problems which well up inside them to which can also include very dangerous flight mechanisms like excessive drinking, sleeping around, drugs and other things that can lead to depression, anxiety and even worse ... suicide.
The other option is to fight. To take on their troubles and hit them with a large metaphorical stick and hope to beat them but the problem with that is the real target is often their own emotions leading to men either taking it out on themselves with self loathing and pity and possibly self harm. Men after divorce can also misread the whole situation and target someone else for this fury often being their ex-wife, children, work, parents and a whole host of other targets for excess rage.

Older women looking for men is not exactly a new thing. There are older women who are single because of having gone through a divorce, or they just came out of a relationship or they became single as a result of a life partner dying. They are older because logic says that they should be settled but it does not mean that they should not have someone to share their lives with, they might even be lucky enough to find real life.
It is not easy being an older woman looking for love, especially if you have been out of the dating game for a long time. You become unsure of how to go about meeting men that you might be interested in, and you find that the dating rules have changed so much from when you were younger and it might be a daunting experience for many to have to go back.
Book For Men
Fortunately, thanks to the internet, anyone can start dating slowly and carefully, at their own pace without the pressure of actually having to meet a guy face to face. Online dating has made it possible for older women looking for men to be able to meet different kind of guys in a safe environment, and be able to start chatting to them and getting to know them better.
Older Women Looking for Men
There are also other ways to meet eligible men that an older woman can be with and ultimately like. There could be men at your workplace, or men at the library where you get your books, or at your nearest bookstore where you buy your books or at your grocery shop. Every place where an older woman finds herself in is a potential place to meet a man that you can get to know better and like.
Besides older women being on the lookout to meet men, they have to make sure that they are approachable to the men that are also looking to meeting them.
If you are going to come across as too serious, without a smile on your face, someone will take it that them talking to you is bothering you and they are just not going to want to do it. If you enjoy someone's attention, you need to show them without being too forward.
Going back into the dating scene requires that one looks good, a woman has to look good for men to look at her and give her the attention that she wants. If you look good, men will be more likely look your way and want to show their interest.
Also, guys like confident women. An older woman should have more confidence than she did when she was younger, because now she knows better about who she is and what she wants and what her place is in the world. Guys are looking for a woman who is sure of herself and whose self-esteem is solid. If you are going to come across as unsure of yourself, this is not an attractive trait for any woman.

"Sexy in Your 60's" is an amazing book that will surprise, inspire, and gratify you with its knowledge, wisdom, and straightforward style. Not only have I had the pleasure to read and review this book, but I also had the honor of being Joan's editor and learning from her directly how to reverse the aging process as we brought the book into its final format. Most stunning to me was that while the book is written by a sixty-four year old and very sexy female, its information is just as beneficial for men as it is for women-Joan's practical applications relevant to Body, Mind, and Spirit can help a man reawaken to his spiritual and sexual sides just as readily as any "crone" or woman of any age.
Women will love this book because Joan talks like a sister to them as she recounts her own experiences. She has undergone many of the trials and hardships women of her generation have faced-being expected to live a perfect married life, experiencing divorce, and having her own mother be ashamed of her when she gave birth to a child out of wedlock. Joan gave into the shame culture of her youth by giving up her son for adoption. Over thirty years passed before she reversed that mistake, only to find blessings had resulted from it. Her reunion with her son will bring tears to the reader's eyes. Her confrontation with her mother and her refusal to end for herself the cycle of fear and shame too many women experience make her one of the most vibrant voices of her generation. Joan is from the age group that led the women's movement, but she knows her generation's work is not yet done, for now they must fight the battle against ageism. Joan encourages women to embrace becoming "crones" as they enter post-menopause and become grandmothers, for "crone" is a word of great power whose true meaning of wisdom and strength has too long been forgotten.
Book For Men
Joan Bunney continually highlights the inestimable value and nobility of women. She focuses upon the ancient goddess culture and a woman's power to give birth-men have so much to learn from women and women's sacred past that only in the last few decades has begun to be reclaimed. Joan joins her voice with many other voices she humbly refers to as her mentors to help bring about this changing viewpoint on women's contributions to society.
Unbelievable Book About Reversing Aging Process - For Men and Women of All Ages
But what about that word "sexy" in the book's title? Just look at Joan's pictures and you will be convinced by her sexiness. You might say, "Well, it's easy for her. She was born with that petite body-she was probably a model when she was younger." The truth is that Joan used to eat two-pound bags of M&Ms and had a career in restaurant management that revolved around food, which did not help her figure. Only in the last few years did Joan begin to study health and nutrition, and the result has been a reversal of her body's aging. She tells readers how they can also experience the youthful look she has acquired, which is not at all impossible, nor even a secret, by simply making some wise and common sense choices-choices she has made for herself as she explains in "Sexy in Your 60's."
Women of Joan's generation, and also women a generation older or a generation younger, will be inspired by this sister crone who encourages them no longer to live in fear of what men, their mothers, and patriarchal society think. Joan teaches women to shatter dysfunctional conditioning from fear-based restrictions. Instead, Joan guides women down the path to reclaiming their lost vision of themselves as goddesses, and she lets women know they do not have to age as their grandmothers did. Sixty may well be barely the halfway mark of a vibrant life if we follow Joan's advice.
"Sexy in Your 60's" is a book filled with resources. Not only does Joan tell her own story, but she constantly expresses gratitude to all her mentors for what they taught her. She discusses and provides access to over eighty resources, including books, websites, and films from which she has drawn her information, and she tells us her own experiences and the results she received from applying this information to her own healthcare routine.
And just look at her! She dates men decades younger than her; she lives a vibrant, energetic life, and "Sexy in Your 60's" is only the first of many books she intends to write. As a living testimonial that anyone can know joy well past age sixty, Joan Bunney has turned herself into the sexiest woman alive today.

When I first approached Iron John: A Book About Men it was a slap across the face - I, like possibly all men who read it, read it in isolation. But such a baptism of fire for my ego wasn't wasted, because it reinforced all the more the need for men like me - all men actually - to be connected with, and encouraged and empowered by other men - particularly older men.
Book For Men
The lessons contained in this book about men are as confronting as they are eternal.
Lessons From Iron John: A Book About Men
THE PROBLEM HIGHLIGHTED BY IRON JOHN
Industrialisation, amongst other Western ideas, including modern approaches to war, has meant that boys have been separated from their fathers psychologically.
This has caused boys to grow up fearful, angry and submissive, confused as to what manhood truly looks like. It may have been typical for boys and young men to have received more of their fathers' temper than his teaching; after all, the workplace has isolated boys from their fathers and the father may be far too tired at the end of a long workday to do what fathers should do.
But fathers, alone, cannot progress their boys through the process to manhood. Other men need to be involved. The communal model, based on the rites of passage schema, an initiatory model, is used. This is where indigenous cultures - for instance, aboriginal culture - are far more effective in traversing a boy toward manhood.
A big part of the problem, also, is society's view of men.
Men are typically to be ridiculed and not trusted, and our media supports these views. All of these negative stereotypes do - and they have been around for nearly 100 years - is make men feel even more isolated than they already are. And without connection to other men, men become lonely, depressed and angry.
IRON JOHN IS ABOUT MALE INITIATION
Perhaps it's a concept lost in our culture, but a very good reason why tribal cultures seem to have strong (read "safe") male identity is they take care to ensure their young males are initiated into manhood.
This process typically takes place about 12 years of age.
What can seem abhorrent in our culture - the initiation of boys - is a psychologically sound process. Boys becoming men (yes, at age 12) learn to connect with their Inner King - the inner warrior. And although Iron John is not a biblical text, it does line-up within a biblical frame - indeed, in biblical times such initiatory practices, including the involvement of the community in the development of the child into adulthood, would have been crucial.
When boys are initiated into manhood by other older men - not their father - they develop their emotional intelligence within a male frame. Other older men become for these younger men the "male mother." And the male mother it is that teaches the young man how to relate emotionally with his world.
The result is he is less angry and less timid; he is able to grieve; he is able to be honest with himself and others; he is therefore trusted and respected. He experiences less fear.
When a boy is shown how to connect with his Inner King he has access to courage, humility, and a safe sense of himself. This is a thing many young men these days struggle to connect with. Indeed, we may find ourselves reeling at the prospect.
But there is hope through narratives like Iron John.
WHAT IRON JOHN IS REALLY TELLING US
It seems clear to us that women are relational beings. Why is it so that men aren't? This is a critical question. If men are connected with their emotions they have no problem relating with other men. But if men are disconnected emotionally they distance themselves from the relational realm; they do not connect with themselves or others very well. The increasing sense of isolation damages them.
The challenge ahead, especially for us somewhat disconnected men, is to get connected.
Through connection, and through sharing life, our experiences, our sinfulness, our experiences of guilt and shame, we become liberated - just as God wishes us to be liberated.
As we share our lives we get to discover we are not that different from other men. This encourages us. We gather strength in our unity.
When we are liberated we become better leaders in our families; we are happier because we are fulfilling our roles; we are more courageous and more truthful; we have far less to lose when we realise that other men have the same burdens as us; confusion and anger and resentment become more and more battles won - and we don't need to return there so much.
The key in being men is being connected authentically with other men.

Break ups seem to hit women harder than men. It's inevitable, yet we still obsess over it. Many times we're left wondering how to get him back. This article is going to give you specific steps you can take to get a man back. Use them or lose him.
The first thing you need to know is that to get a man back, you should be sure you want him back. Don't get caught up in missing him or remembering the good times only. Remember the bad times too and take a good look at whether he's good enough for you. He's not the only man out there. You will find love again if it doesn't work out between you two. So if he's not really worth it, let your head trump your heart. You'll thank it in the long run.
Book For Men
Also, when working out how to get a man back, don't go overboard. Many times women scheme and plot to bump into him or get his friends involved. This is a very bad mistake. First it's quite obvious. Second it will backfire. Imagine scheming to find out where he's gonna be Saturday only to see him there with another woman. It's very possible. Plus the friends will take sides. Even the ones helping you scheme may tell him what's going on. Those tactics never work for the long haul anyway.
Want to Know How to Get a Man Back? 4 Things to Keep in Mind
Another tip on how to get a man back is to act like you don't want him. This ignoring technique has worked for centuries. Put the mystery back into the relationship. Make it a chase with you the prize at the end. If he thinks you're getting on with your life and that his leaving didn't affect you much, he'll start to get jealous. Men like to be King of their castles. He'll give it another try and work hard at making you think he's the best thing on earth. He won't even know what hit him.
Finally, to get a man back, you have to look the part. Put extra effort into your appearance. Do the little things you may have been neglecting while you were together. You can even change something if you want; hair, clothes, anything. You know what he likes about you, what he finds sexiest. Flaunt it. That little something extra will definitely get noticed. He won't want another man enjoying you in that tiny red dress. He'll stake his claim on his property real quick.
Worrying about how to get a man back won't get him back. You have to go out and put these tips to the test. Get out there and get your life back. He'll follow. It's the oldest trick in the book.

There are many long-established traditional ceremonies in Zambia and described here is a ceremony of the Toka-Leya people in Zambia. Its main purpose is to attract the rain after a long dry season. Lwiindi means 'thanksgiving of the harvests'. Zambia experiences a long dry season from April through to October and by the end of the dry season the land is parched, rivers and lakes are drying up and people and animals must travel long distances for water.
Living so close to the Victoria Falls the Toka-Leya understand the waterfall better than most and they respect it too. They have created a number of shrines for different purposes including prayer and sacrifice stemming from their belief that various spirits live around the falls area.
Book For Men
The area in which the Lwiindi ceremony is performed is highly prone to drought and so this ceremony is performed just before the rains would normally be expected every year to ensure its timely and much needed arrival. Young men around the age of seventeen under Chief Mukuni's rule are expected to prove they are real men and ready for their marital responsibilities by taking part in this adventurous rain inducing custom.
Zambian Cultural Heritage - The Traditional Lwiindi Rain Ceremony of the Toka-Leya
Days before the ritual local beer is brewed and visitors begin to congregate in the village and the excitement brews. On the day of the ceremony traditional hymns are sung to the Toka-Leya ancestors whom the people believe their chief, Chief Mukuni, is a living representative. The ceremony begins with a 40km walk away from the Mukuni Village and towards the Victoria Falls. On arrival the young men smear themselves with white clay from the river bed and they do this to demonstrate their purity to the spirits. They also use fresh green leaves to complete the ritual costume.
Now the men must collect water from a sacred site deep within the gorge in what is known as the 'boiling pot' (due to its angry and tumultuous swirling below the Victoria Falls). After this dangerous escapade, the water is very carefully carried to a water shrine on the road to Mukuni Village and here they imitate rain falling by pouring water over the roof of a sacred hut. The group of revered young men who have now proved their manliness and are seen to be ready for marriage return to the village where they are met by the beautiful and eager young girls of the village. Historically the girls would have used this opportunity to select a husband of choice but times have moved on somewhat!
Though to some the concept of rituals, ceremonies, costumes and prayers to spirits may seem a little farfetched, witnesses of this ceremony will tell you that it always rains within an hour of these sacred rituals. It has been reported that even when the rest of Livingstone (the area surrounding the Victoria Falls) is completely dry from months without rain, the vicinity of the Toka -Leya where the Lwiindi ceremony has taken place is blessed with a much needed and refreshing downpour.
This article is inspired by the book 'Ceremony! Celebrating Zambia's Cultural Heritage'. It's fabulous and a visually pleasing book which I would encourage you to get. I got mine from ZAIN in Lusaka, Zambia. It is published by Celtel Zambia PLC and Seka. Original photography, Francois d'Elbee. Coordinating author, Tamara Guhrs. Editor, Mulunga Kapwepwe. Contributing authors, Akashambatwa Mbikusita-Lewanika, Prof Mapopa Mtonga, Mulenga Kapwepwe, Isaac Smogy Kapinga, Miranda Guhrs, Msatero Tembo, Matiya Ngalande and Joseph Chikuta.
Zambia enourages people to witness its cultural ceremonies.

We tend to think of crimes among the Amish community as nonexistent, given their often-idyllic portrayals. Atrocities do happen however, like the recent beard- cutting attacks by renegade Amish men in Ohio.
Breaking Silence is the latest novel from bestselling author,
Linda Castillo; and the third in a series featuring Kate Burkholder, chief of police in the fictional town of Painters Mill, Ohio.
Book For Men
For the past six months, hate crimes against the Amish have been ravishing Coshocton and Holmes counties. Buggies are being set ablaze with Molotov cocktails, farm animals are being nocturnally slaughtered; and men are being battered, left half-dressed and freezing and tied to their buggies.
Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo - Amish Mystery Book Review - Hate Crimes and Love
Solving the crimes is especially challenging, since culturally, the Amish are loathe to pressing charges. "God will take care of us," is their inherent belief.
Solomon (Solly) Slabaugh, his wife Rachel, and Abel, his brother visiting from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, are found dead on their farm's manure pit (Manure pits capture livestock wastes and produce lethal methane gas).
Are these the latest hate crimes against the local Amish, magnified, or simply a terrible accident?
Kate Burkholder is quick to arrive at the scene. Formerly Amish herself, she's at an advantage leading the investigation.
Coroner Dr. Ludwig Coblentz discovers substantial head contusions on Solly while doing his autopsy, initiating a murder investigation. Human hair is also found on a shovel left near the bodies.
The Slabaugh's leave behind four children: Moses (Mose), 17, Salome, 15, Samuel, 12, and Ike, 10.
State Agent John Tomaselli comes to help Kate with the investigation. They worked together before on the Slaughterhouse Killer case and found themselves covertly romantically involved.
Dark secrets from Kate's teenage years haunt her today as a young woman, challenging her ability to love. Yet, she's drawn to Agent Tomaselli: "He gets me. I'm thirty-one years old, and this is the first time anyone has ever given me the gift of true understanding."
The Slabaugh family has their own concealments, central to the plot.
Who would have motive to kill the Slabaugh's?
Adam Slabaugh for one. Excommunicated for marrying outside his Amish faith, Solly banned his brother from seeing his niece and nephews. Adam is now next-of-kin to receive custody of the Slabaugh children.
Accounting for missing money from Solly's well-hidden Mason jar, and a once-removed rifle from the Slabaugh house are key to solving the crimes.
Breaking Silence is especially enjoyable if you have ties to central and/or northeast Ohio, with all of its regional references.
If you're interested in reading a well-written mystery/thriller with a small-town feel, you'll enjoy Breaking Silence. It's entertaining, fictional drama without the harsh realities of crimes actually happening in Amish communities today.

Here are 10 tips for women to stay fit and healthy:
1. Staying fit and healthy starts with a balanced diet. Know and monitor the right weight for your age. Consult your doctor to learn what food you should avoid and follow your eating discipline routines. If you are trying to lose some weight, foods with high calories should be omitted from your meals. Food with high fiber and low fat should be included a priority in your grocery list instead of red meat, sugars and fats.
Book For Men
2. Drink plenty of water. Drinking at least eight glasses of water everyday. This cleanses the body from impurities. It is also advised for lactating women to increase water intake to keep the body hydrated.
Womens Health - Staying in Shape, Staying Healthy
3. Take Vitamins and Supplements. Do not forget your Calcium supplement. Sufficient Calcium intake is beneficial for women of all ages. This has been proven to prevent having cramps and Pre-Menstrual Period (PMS) Symptoms. It also prevents Osteoporosis especially for menopausal women. Vitamin E boosts strong immune system. Women who undergo menopausal period should take Vitamin E-400 as it stops night sweats and hot flashes. Also, Vitamin E is said to be best in avoiding wrinkles when aging.
4. Quit smoking. If you are smoking, stop. It is also a big "NO" for pregnant women, as this will affect the health of the baby. Pregnant women who smoke may pass the harmful content of cigarettes to babies through the bloodstream. Recent studies have shown that women smokers are more prone to diseases than men smokers. Women who smoke have a high risk of getting breast cancer. Also limit your alcohol intake.
5. Incorporate exercises in your daily routine. Take a walk after work, use stairs instead of elevator or play with your kids when you are at home. Home exercises are also effective especially when you do not have time to go to the gym and would like to lose some weight. Yoga and Pilates are only a few of the many effective exercises you can do at home. Exercises help in limiting the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
6. Avoid stress. Many women are prone to too much stress. Stress has been known as cause to many sicknesses. As much as possible take time to relax. Read a good book, hang out with friends and engage into sports. Pamper yourself by going to parlors or you can do some shopping. And do not forget to get enough sleep to revive your energy.
7. Use sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Wear hats when under the sun to protect your skin. Too much sun is bad for your skin. The skin is prone to cancer when exposed to too much sunlight. It also speeds up the aging of skin cells, which causes wrinkles to women.
8. Make sure to visit your dentist to keep that beautiful smile. Always have it cleaned to prevent cavities and bad breath.
9. Visit your Gynecologist. Women who are eighteen and above should have their Physical Examination annually especially for the Pap Smear test. Women who are forty and up should have their mammograms and the Breast self-exam is encouraged once puberty has been reached and should be a habit as they mature
10. Safe sex is strongly recommended. Use condoms to prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

What a difference a shift in conscious awareness can create.
As I reread this 3 yrs later, I was amazes at my thought process at that time.
Book For Men
"From the dawn of time mankind has searched for meaning. Our ancestors organized various forms of religions to allow hope and purpose. With the advent of the Hebrew Scriptures, that appear to be a reflection of various religious ideals, such are those claimed by Buddha and others, most of which claim an afterlife free of pain and sorrow.
Cain & Abel's World War III Continued
However, one claims reincarnation as bugs or other creatures, but why would we wish to return back to the same place of grief and sorrow, and in the form of a bug?
Moreover, all religions claim good works, as in be kind to one another, don't steal, kill and forgive those who cause us harm. As far as I am concerned there is only one universe, one earth, one family and one God who has relationship with each one of us, whether we want one or not. But, in my understanding this creator/sustainer serves all religions.
We may all have different names for Him, and many various ideals regarding how we deal with Him, what is acceptable behavior and what is not, but there is only one true God.
After many years of reckoning with these various thoughts I have concluded that where we are is the opposite reflection of where we need to be. In that, here we know hatred, sorrow and pain. Here we are made of dirt and filled with negative emotions. Here we think we are God!
However, there in the spiritual realm we will no longer be living in the reflection, but rather in the true reality, rather than in this artificial reality. After study of various modalities, I have concluded, maybe just led to believe because it sounds so inviting, that in the next stage of this process, this evolution, if you will, we will become as light, as transfigured as the Christ who Peter in the Hebrew Scriptures gave witness to. Here we will know no harsh emotion, but only great love for one another as we will be as a hive mind, a communal cognition with our Creator, therefore, with each other. That sounds better than being a bug to me!
Now regarding the Christ; it appears as if He, God's voice who became flesh at various points in human history to give credence to that which is to come. One whomever each religion chooses to call Him, at one point, whether it is as the Hebrew Scriptures claim or was a symbolic event, God in the flesh nailed Himself to a tree to redeem all people to Himself. Again, peoples from around the world and at different times appear to have had encounter with, and their lives were changed forever by this spirit, this event.
Because of my understanding, I choose to call Him my friend, The Christ, as He is the reflection I seek. I place my trust in Him because in my heart I can feel His presents in all the good, the bad and even in the indifferent in my life.
I have read The Book, I do almost every day, however, I also see His reflection in, not just one book, or religion, but I see His reflection in the goodness that is spread throughout the land. In that, when I see a broken heart healed, a starving baby feed, the joy when one finds peace and reconciliation with his neighbor. However, I also see Him in the misery. Here I see His great love for us, even in the tears, His and in ours.
Many wish to denounce a Creator for their own personal reasons, and I really have no cause for concern here because I know His great love for them will be realized in their hearts one day, just as it has been realized in mine. However, I fear for those who have become complacent because I know their rejection, their excuses, and their stubbornness is going to cause them undo misery and great sorrow soon.
For the last 2,000 years there have been over 3,000 documented predictions of when this birthing, this process of reconciliation will come to pass. I have reached the conclusion that I, too, would be foolish to predict what tomorrow will bring, and when it will bring this great renewal.
However, there are signs or clues that have been given that help me to put together a possible scenario. The Scriptures speak of a system, a beast. 30 years ago there was still much speculation; however, today we can realize a one world religion In that, today we have the technology to realize a system that could control the resources of every person on the earth.
After reading Hal Lindsey's publication back in the early 70's "The Late Great Planet Earth" I began watching the technology form. Today we have people volunteering to become the first to have this identity micro chip planted in their bodies.
Hey, this sounds great. Soon no one will be able to abduct our children, rob our merchants, no more hit and runs and medical monitoring will be great for our elderly and those with afflictions, what more could we ask for? No one can steal our identity, no more cash to be concerned about, hey, life will be grand! With a one world government and a one world religion, everyone should be able to get along, right?
By now most of us are aware that this has been the plan by the elite for many years, but did you ever stop to realize that this has been the plan from the beginning of time? Who was that guy who said, "I will ascend on high, and I will place my throne above God's" Hey, that sounds a lot like my words. "I can do this myself, I don't need no ones help" Have you ever made that claim?
Sure you have, you say it every day! Well I have some bad news for you, we were given the chance to do it our way, and it has not worked yet. Look around you, the world is headed for its own self-created hell, and I don't think I am the only one who has come to this realization.
In the last few days people, more than ever, have been talking about Armageddon, 666, 2012, anti-Christ, homo luminous, Inca, Mayan and Hopi prophecies. I am seeing a major increase in these key words being used to get to my Origin and Destination pages.
Why? Because most are smart enough to realize that something is happening around them. Many are scared at the thought of a nuclear Iran. Some even seem to understand the significance of Russia and China playing army together. But what does it all mean? Again, who really knows for sure?
From the time most of us were small, people have claimed, "Don't take the chip, its evil" But where then does this leave us? That chip is here! In fact, the plan is to make an identity card with the chip in it and it will be the law of the land that everyone must carry it on their person at all time by mid 2009.
So what should we do? Should we stop eating, paying our bills, and working? Hey, stop working that sounds great to most people. What do we do, where do we draw the line, as we already use social security cards, ATM cards and the like, where do we draw the line in the sand and go no further into this system of bondage? For those of you who know the story of Daniel in the lion's den, here is our answer.
Daniel ate, not the king's food. He prayed, not as the king prayed and he refused to bow down to the king's image, who was, by the way Daniel's friend. Daniel forced the king's hand, giving him no other choices, so the king was forced to place Daniel, first in the lions den where he played with the big kitties, then he was forced to placed him into the furnace.
What happened in the furnace should be our guide as to what to do when the king of this world, from the beginning of time, the one who The Christ claimed to have seen fall to the earth as a volt of lightning, let him have your head. It belongs to him, but your heart belongs to the One who counts every hair on that head.
You may not agree, it will probably make you angry, but you must read our article, "What Does God Look Like." You can find it here on EzineArticles or we have it listed on our website. It is time to wake up people, if you dare. We are in the final days. Soon it will be Lucifer's big day view.
Will he come with horns and a pitch fork, with red leotards on? Right! Wrong! He is the most charismatic character ever known to mankind. Most of us have been doing his biding all of our lives! He is handsome, witty, and extremely persuasive. Men will admire his image and the women will adore him.
He will bring peace and progress to a world torn in two. Beware however, he is the wolf in sheep's clothing, he will turn on you and cut you down. Rest assured, he is you, telling yourself, "I can do this myself; I don't need any one's help, because I am God."
I wish to now invite you to the new paradigm in my conscious awareness.

Consisting of metamorphic rock formed by catastrophic eruptions, intense heat, and crushing pressure during the Precambrian Period of between 1.1 billion and 540 million years ago, the Appalachians constitute some of the planet's oldest mountains. Rising during terrestrial crust upheavals at the end of the Paleozoic Era (about 250 million years ago), they were formed when interior crumbling of inconceivable proportions exerted strains on subterranean rock, which then buckled, folded, faulted, and cracked, before being counteracted by uplifting-sometimes into parallel ridges. Secondary shaping and chiseling, by water, ice, and weather over the millennia, produced valleys and ravines, at a time when plants and most animal species had yet to exist.
A Tourist Guide to New Hampshire's Eastern White Mountains
When the earth's forces had subsided, they had left the highest peak, of 6,684 feet, in today's North Carolina in the form of Mount Mitchell.
2. White Mountains:
New Hampshire had hardly been neglected when it came to elevation superlatives. Indeed, its own section of the Appalachian chain, the White Mountains, poked the sky with 48 peaks considered "four thousand footers," several at least 5,000 feet in height, and the crown of its kingdom, 6,288-foot Mount Washington, the tallest peak in all of the northeast.
Glaciation had formed deep mountain passes named "notches" by early settlers because they resembled the shapes they had made in wood with axes, while cirques had produced the heads of ravines, such as Mount Washington's Tuckerman and Mount Adam's King ravines.
Man had also had a hand-and sometimes a detrimental one-in the shaping of New Hampshire's section of the Appalachians. Striped of their arboreal fashion by the logging concerns that had purchased most of the land and then reduced it to shreds with the 1,832 area sawmills before being hauled away by railroads, they were left bare until the Weeks Act was signed into law and permitted the 1914 reacquisition of the original 7,000 acres.
Subsequent purchases, coupled with logging prohibitions in designated wilderness areas, ensured the establishment of 800,000-acre White Mountain National Forest, which today totes the slogan, "Land of many uses."
Prominent in the state is its Presidential Range, whose peaks, as their name implies, are named after presidents and other prominent Americans.
Its abundant wildlife ranges from deer to mouse, black bears, bobcats, gray fox, coyotes, beaver, porcupines, raccoons, and 184 species of birds, including Peregrine falcons.
Although its protected status restricts its use, this limitation does not apply to its enjoyment, whose opportunities are plentiful and vary according to the season.
Abundant snowfalls re-dimension the landscape into pristine postcards and sports paradises during the winter, for instance, luring sightseers, tourists, athletes, and enthusiasts, as the mountains lend their sides and summits to world class resorts that facilitate a range of activities, including alpine and cross country skiing, snow boarding, snow tubing, snow shoeing, ice skating, snowmobiling, sleigh riding, ice fishing, dog sledding, and even frozen waterfall climbing.
Ablaze with color, the region becomes a never-ending canvas of Impressionism paintings in the autumn, becoming a magnet for photographers, leaf peepers, and naturalists. Color peeking depends upon time, elevation, and tree type. Red maples, for example, pinnacle at low elevations in mid-September, while beech, sugar maples, and birches reach this level a month later below 2,000 feet. This peak occurs earlier, at the beginning of October, between 2,000 and 3,500 feet, and yellow birch, mountain maple, and mountain ash glow with color intensity in mid-September between 3,500 and 5,500 feet.
However, the area's peaks reach their greatest heights during the summer tourist season when its some two dozen sights provide natural scenery, links to its railroad past, family-oriented theme parks, and outdoor activities.
3. Orientation:
New Hampshire's White Mountains, located in the northern portion of the state, are easily accessible, with Route 16, Interstate 93, and Route 3 providing north-south travel, and Routes 2, 302, and 112 slicing the area in an easterly-westerly direction.
4. White Mountain Sights:
A. On Route 2:
Santa's Village, located in Jefferson, New Hampshire, and open from May to December, is a Christmas-themed park and allows children to visit the bearded man in the red suit in July, feed his reindeer, and enjoy 19 different rides and activities, including antique cars, a yule log flume, a flying sleigh, a Jingle Bells Express train, a roller coaster, and a waterpark. Live, 3-D shows are presented in the Polar Theater, and the Burgermeister Food Court offers an array of items for lunch, including the opportunity to decorate gingerbread cookies.
Single-, two-day, and season passes permit unlimited use of the park's rides, shows, and attractions.
Six Gun City and Fort Splash is another family-oriented theme park in Jefferson accessed by Route 2, but with a western focus. Open between May and September, it enables its visitors to "ride, slide, and play all day" on attractions that include go-carts, laser tag, water slides, bumper boats, sawmill rides, mechanical stage coaches, log boats, and a Gold Rush Runaway Train.
Kids can earn a deputy badge from the sheriff or step over to the other side of the law and have their pictures adorn wanted posters.
A transportation museum exhibits more than a hundred antique carriages and sleighs, including the oldest Concord Coach.
Children can down doubles (of soda) at the Six Gun Saloon or have lunch at Grabby's Grub House, and cowboy-related clothes and gifts can be purchased at the Trading Post and in the General Store.
The Fort Jefferson Campground, with its own swimming pool, offers 100 sites, from tenting to full hookups.
B. On Route 302:
Challenging mankind to surmount its imposing, 6,288-foot peak, and counting Darby Field as the first to have successfully done so when he had climbed to the top in 1652 with the aid of two Indian guides, Mount Washington has never ceased to entice people to duplicate his success. However, the present-day tourist can do so far easier, quicker, and more comfortably with the Mount Washington Cog Railway.
When Sylvester Marsh, a Compton, New Hampshire native and Chicago meat-packing businessman had followed in Field's footsteps some two hundred years later and became entrapped on the mountain by a life-threatening snowstorm, he vowed to devise a method which would eliminate the ascent's inherent dangers and make it accessible to anyone.
Securing a charter for a mountain-climbing railroad, whose concept was initially met with laughter by the New Hampshire Legislature and accompanied by the now-famous words that he "might as well build a railway to the moon," he invented technology that incorporated a small, geared, below-locomotive cogwheel that meshed with the rungs installed between a tiny track and permitted the engine to pull itself up inclines as steep as 37.41-percent.
Successfully reaching its lofty goal and elevation in 1869, it has been running ever since. A National Historic Landmark, it is the world's second steepest rail system and the oldest still-operating one.
Accessed by the six-mile base road next to Fabyan's Station from Route 302, the Mount Washington Cog Railway offers three-hour round-trips from its own Marshfield Station to the summit by both steam and bio-diesel locomotives between May and October and one-hour halfway trips in November and December. All trains consist of a pushing engine and a single passenger coach.
Aside from featuring a ticketing office; a self-service restaurant, Catalano's at the Cog; and a gift shop, the station itself offers a glimpse into early cog railroad technology through its Cog Museum and outside displays, which include the first locomotive to climb the mountain.
Views from the rocky, windswept moonscape summit encompass the northern Presidential Range peaks, and riders can visit the Sherman Adams Summit Building; the Mount Washington Observatory; the Tip-Top House, a National Historic Landmark; and the Summit Stage Office, where the world's highest wind velocity-of 231 mph-was recorded.
A short distance from the Mount Washington Cog Railway's base road on Route 302 in Bretton Woods is yet another namesaked attraction, the Mount Washington Resort.
Rising from the forest green, and always within the shadow of the mountain itself, this white facaded, red-roofed mega-mansion, one of the area's original grand hotels, was constructed between 1900 and 1902 by Joseph Stickney, a New Hampshire native who had amassed his wealth in the coal mining industry and with the Pennsylvania Railroad, in Spanish Renaissance Revival style.
Built 250 Italian craftsmen, who applied meticulous detail to its woodwork and masonry, it featured a rare steel framework and innovative heating, electric powerplant, plumbing, and private telephone systems, along with its still-existent post office, transforming forest into luxury in the form of the grandest of the grand hotels.
Staffed by 350, it opened its doors on July 28, 1902, catering to wealthy guests from the northeast, celebrities, and dignitaries, including Thomas Edison, Babe Ruth, Joan Crawford, Princess Margaret, and three US presidents, who all had area access by up to 50 daily trains that served three local stations.
In 1944, it hosted the Bretton Woods International Monetary Conference, during which delegates from 44 nations established the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, setting the gold standard at .00 and designating the US dollar as the backbone of international exchange.
In 1978, the hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places and nine years later was designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of Interior.
Echoing its century-old elegance are its 900-foot verandah and "Great Hall" lobby, which features high ceilings and rocky fireplaces.
Other opulent era echoes sound in the form of afternoon teas in its Princess Room, five-star meals in the Dining Room, lighter fare in Stickney's Restaurant, cocktails in the Rosebrook Bar, Verandah, or rock-formed Cave, operator-attended elevator, and hose-drawn carriage tours of the grounds, which are surrounded by the White Mountain peaks and Crawford Notch.
A 25,000-square-foot spa, with 13 treatment rooms, and two golf courses round out the amenities, the latter of which include the nine-hole, Mount Pleasant Course opened in 1895, and the 18-hole Mount Washington Course, which was restored to its 1915 Donald Ross design.
The equally Omni-owned Bretton Arms Inn is a bed-and-breakfast.
Across Route 302 from the Fabyan's Station Restaurant is the Bretton Woods Ski Resort at Mount Rosebrook. It features 433 acres of skiing and snow boarding, 101 alpine trails, 100 kilometers of Nordic trails, four terrain parks, night skiing, and a canopy tour with ten ziplines, two sky bridges, and three rappel stations.
Other than skiing itself, winter activities include dog sledding, sleigh riding, snow tubing, ice skating, snow shoeing, and ice climbing, while summer sports include hiking, bicycling, swimming, fly fishing, tennis, and trail and carriage riding.
Dining options include Lucy Crawford's Food Court and the Slopeside Restaurant in the base lodge and the Top O' Quad Restaurant on the summit.
Further east on Route 302 is Crawford Notch State Park.
Discovered in 1771 when Timothy Nash, a Lancaster hunter, discovered a gap while tracking a moose over Cherry Mountain, its lands was promised to him by Governor John Wentworth if he could both ride a horse and construct a road through it-feats he ultimately achieved, despite significant topographical obstacles.
The area itself was named after the Crawford family, its first settlers. Establishing inns for travelers and forging the first path up Mount Washington, they conducted climbing expeditions.
Thwarting the area's excessive deforestation, the state of New Hampshire acquired most of the local land in 1913, designating it a state park. Its 5,775-acre area now encompasses the mountain summits that border the Saco River Valley.
Aside from picnicking, fishing, and hiking, it offers two short, easy hiking trails: the half-mile Pond Loop Trail leads to views of the pond itself, while the one-mile round-trip Sam Willey Trail follows the Saco River. Extensions and separate paths lead to Rippley and Arethusa falls.
Even further east, but still on Route 302, is Attitash Mountain Resort, whose peak rises to 2,350 feet. Aside from the standard winter sports offerings, it opened its doors to summer activities in 1976 with a more than one-mile-long, chairlift-accessed slide imported from Germany that features rolling slopes and S-turns.
Progressively added attractions now include the rail-mounted, two-person cars plying the 2,280-foot Nor'Easter Mountain Coaster, with 360-degree loops; a climbing wall; a trampoline; water slides; mountain bike riding; horseback riding; and 1,700-foot scenic chairlift rides.
Day, afternoon, and single-ride adult and child tickets allow visitors to optimize their experience.
At the foothills of 2,050-foot Bear Peak is the Attitash Grand Summit Hotel and Crawford's Restaurant, while the Attitash Mountain Village is located across Route 302.
C. On Route 16:
While the Cog Railway provides west side access to the mountain's summit, the Mount Washington Auto Road offers an east side, self-drive alternative.
Tracing its origins to the originally-designated Mount Washington Carriage Road, which was the country's first man-made tourist attraction when it opened on August 8, 1861, it allows motorists to "take the high road," as it advertises itself, by accessing it from Route 16 in Pinkham Notch.
The Great Glen Lodge, located at its base, offers a restaurant, and the adjacent Douglas A. Philbrook Red Barn Museum, the last of the horse and hay barns that had been integral to the Carriage Road's staging process, features a collection of restored wagons, carriages, stagecoaches, and automobiles which once followed the summit surmounting path.
The basic fee to enter the Auto Road includes the car, its driver, an audio or CD cassette tour, and the famed, "This car climbed Mt. Washington:" bumper sticker, and vehicles ascend from 1,543 to 6,288 feet, with an enroute elevation gain of between 594 and 880 feet per mile, while traversing the 7.6-mile road. They have access to the same summit views and historic buildings as their rail passenger counterparts.
A short distance from the Auto Road on Route 16 is Wildcat Mountain, itself a sister attraction to Attitash. Its 49 trails and glades, reached by the most powerful quad chairlift in New England, include the 2.75-mile Polcat Trail for beginners, the 2,112-foot, vertically dropping Lynx Trail for intermediates, and the Wildcat Trail for experts.
Summer activities include the Wildcat Mountain Express Skyride. Silently ascending to the 4,062-foot summit of Wildcat Mountain during their 15-minute journey, the four-person gondolas initially move among, and ultimately above, the tsunami-towering waves of green encompassing the White Mountains and Tuckerman Ravine, Lion Head, Raymond Cataract, Mount Washington, and Huntington Ravine amid distant, but still-visible, sugar-dusted spots and specks of peak-clinging snow, even in the summer.
Seeming to brush the erectly-standing evergreens, which resemble arboreal, forest-guarding sentinels, as they approach the top, they open their doors and emit olfactory onslaughts of pine, as if the rider had been deposited in his local nursery for his annual Christmas tree spree. The air, thin and pure, is some ten degrees cooler than it is at the base.
"You are standing on part of the Appalachian Trail," a sign immediately advises, "designated by Congress as a National Scenic Trail in 1968." Stretching more than 2,140 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin, Maine, it crosses 14 states, eight national forests, six national park areas, and numerous state lands.
The short walk to the summit's other edge affords views of the eastern slope of the White Mountain National Forest and the Kearsarge North, South Doublehead, and Black Mountain silhouettes directly ahead. Toward the east, in the foreground, is the Wild River Valley, while a series of smaller, rounded mountains formed during the last glacial period are visible beyond this area, along the New Hampshire-Maine state line. Clear days enable the Atlantic Ocean, 90 miles away, to be glimpsed.
The Appalachian Trail traverses the Presidential Range, Mount Washington, and the Great Gulf Wilderness to the west. The Mahoosuc Range and the towns of Berlin and Gorham lurk in the north, and Jackson, Bartlett, and the Conways are in the south.
Wildcat Mountain's four-person Zip Rider, suspended from a cable 70 feet above the ground, descends 2,100 feet over trails, treetops, and the Peabody River at a 12-percent grade and at speeds of up to 45 mph, an experience it describes as "a high-speed cable ride with a sudden, abrupt landing."
Hiking on The Way of the Wildcat Trail affords views, via a branch off, of Thompson Falls, and fishing can be enjoyed on the Peabody River.
Packages include such features as the gondola ride, lunch at the Mountainside Café, disc golf, and accommodations at the Attitash Grand Summit Hotel.
Further south on Route 16 is the Appalachian Mountain Club. Founded in Boston by Edward Pickering and 33 other outdoor enthusiasts for the later-defined purpose of "promot(ing) the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of the mountains, forests, waters, and trails of the Appalachian region," it forged its first hiking trail in Tuckerman Ravine in 1879 and presently maintains more than 1,500 miles of them, along with huts and lodges, within the 12-chapter system that stretches from Maine to Washington, D.C. The organization, with 450 seasonal and full-time staff and 16,000 volunteers, has 100,000 members.
Its New Hampshire chapter, at the base of Mount Washington on the east side, has been a hub for hiking, climbing, skiing, and snowshoeing since the 1920s, and today maintains the Joe Dodge Lodge, a cafeteria, a gift shop, and eight mountain trail huts, and offers lectures, workshops, and outdoor skills instructions.
The Pnkham Notch Visitor center is also located here.
Story Land, another family-oriented theme park "where fairy tales come to life," is located further south, a quarter of a mile from the junction of Routes 16 and 302 in Glen.
Kids are served a buffet of rides and activities, including antique cars, Cinderella's pumpkin carriage, park plying chew-chew trains, Dr. Geyser's Remarkable Raft Ride, a Polar Coaster, Bamboo Chutes, a Whirling Whale Ride, a Crab Crawl, Oceans of Fun, Turtle Twist, Splash Battle, and Cinderella's Castle.
Its entertainment, as indicated by its colorful titles, is equally youth-oriented: Duke's Dance Party, Funsation Celebration, The Story-Bops, A Fairy Tale Fiasco, the Royal Hanneford Circus, and the Farm Follies Show.
Drinks, snacks, and meals can be purchased in several venues, including the Food Fair, the Pixie Kitchen, and the Sunny Day Farmstand.
The town of North Conway, located further south on Route 16 (also known as White Mountain Highway), is the area's most significant tourist base.
Chartered by Colonel Governor Benning Wentworth in 1765, it owes its rise to its geography, topography, and transportation access. Named after Henry Seymour Conway, a 20-year-odl Parliamentary elected official, it took root-literally-in the form of sprouting farms, like many other New England villages, after the American Revolution.
Linked to the outside world in 1872 when the Portsmouth, Great Falls, and Conway Railroad laid its tracks, it hosted the increasing number of tourists who were attracted to the area's winter sports and mountain scenery, the latter frequently captured in White Mountain Art paintings.
So identifying itself with the activities its topography fostered, it became known as "the birthplace of skiing" in 1832 and the railroad deposited up to 5,000 passenger into the town on weekends by means of its "Snow Trains."
Today, despite its compact size, it offers a number and range of services and amenities normally associated with a town triple its size. Accommodation, for example, varies from historic hostelries (such as the Stonehurst Manor and Inn, the 1785 Inn, and the Eastern Slope Inn) to familiar chains (such as the Holiday Inn Express and Marriott's Residence Inn). Restaurants run the gambit from fast food to a Bavarian Chocolate Haus, an authentic Italian eatery, and dining rooms in the historic inns themselves. Shops are just as multi-faceted-from kitchy gift shops to bookstores, the Settlers' Green Outlet Village, and the North Conway Mall. Other town offerings include art galleries, a community center with live performances, a Weather Discovery Center, a model railroad museum, and an historic railroad station.
It is from this station that visitors can step back-and ride into-the area's rich rail past.
The North Conway Scenic Railroad Station, once a transportation link to the rest of the country and currently an architectural one to the past, was the town's nucleus and center of citizens' lives, locally accessed by horse-drawn carts and wagons. Constructed in 1874 for the Portsmouth, Great Falls, and Conway and designed by Nathaniel J. Bradlee-a Boston architect of considerable notoriety-it was intended to serve the growing resort community.
The imposing, dual-towered depot, whose grandeur represents that of then-typical stations, sports a 136-year-old, attic-installed, brass and iron E. Howard clock, which seems ignorant of the track clack suspension and continues to sweep its hands 360 degrees, 365 days of the year.
Its interior, flanked on either side by winding, wooden, tower-accessing staircases, reflects its golden age with an original ticket and telegraph office, complete with vintage instruments, a passenger waiting area/museum (once the Women's Waiting Room), the Brass Whistle Gift Shop (the former Men's Waiting room), and a storage area (then the baggage room). It stands as testament to the town's railroad past and is one of the country's few remaining original and complete depots.
The 85-foot-long, compressed air motor-driven turntable, enabling a locomotive to be turned either for track alignment or 180-degree reciprocal orientation, accesses the four-stall roundhouse whose sub-track pits facilitate maintenance, repair, and servicing. Its out-of-town workers often bunk in the wheel-less baggage car next to it.
Along with the depot and the roundhouse with its turntable, the Freight House, constructed in the 1870s as a processing point for draymen-inspected cargo documents, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It presently houses the North Conway Model Railroad Club.
The Conway Scenic Railroad's fleet consists of 13 steam and diesel electric locomotives, more than 40 cars and coaches, seven privately owned cabooses, and three privately owned snow flangers.
It offers several day tourist trains during the summer season. "Valley trains," for example, either operate the one-hour, 11-mile round-trip to Conway or the one-hour, 45-minute, 21-mile return to Bartlett, while "Notch trains" penetrate Crawford Notch and make the 50-mile, five-and-a-half-hour excursion to Crawford Depot and Fabyan Station. These services use either steam or diesel electric motive power and passengers can book coach, first class, or premium/dome accommodations with three-course meals.
As befitting a town which serves winter sports enthusiasts, it features a ski resort, Mount Cranmore, in its very backyard, only a mile from the Route 16 artery which slices it.
Long associated with a unique mountain-ascending system, it had featured a fleet of 192 metal, rubber wheeled, and cable-pulled skimobiles that had climbed Mount Cranmore on a dual-section wooden trestle. Designed by George Morton, of Bartlett, New Hampshire, it had transported skies and sightseers alike, and had been the oldest operating ski lift system in North America when it ceased operations in 1989 after 51 years of continuous service.
Today, Mount Cranmore features ten lifts; 13 beginner, 25 intermediate, and 16 expert trials; and 1,200-foot vertical drops. Non-skiing attractions include an indoor Adventure Zone in its Base Lodge; a giant swing; a 3,700-foot Mountain Coaster; terrain parks; a ropes course; a four-station bungee trampoline; mountain Segway tours; a descending, 700-foot-long, dual-person zipline; and scenic chairlift rides.
