			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Many people love to engage in various sports that take place outdoors during the winter months. However, it is vital that you know how to keep yourself warm so that you don’t become ill or suffer from frostbite. It is also important that you stay hydrated as your will lose body heat if your body is lacking the right amount of water to regulate your temperature. </p>
<p>Since you don’t really know what the temperature is going to be like from one moment to the next in winter, you just have to be prepared for it. While it may warm up during the afternoon the temperature can rapidly dip in the morning and the late afternoon. You will likely generate body heat to stay warm if you are engaging in a winter sport that keeps you moving such as ice skating, skiing, sledding, or ice hockey.</p>
<p>Dressing in layers is a very important for you to stay warm during winter sports. There are particular types of clothing that work well for various sports so pay attention. You want to have three distinct layers of clothing – they base layer, the under layer, and then the outer layer. </p>
<p>Underneath the clothing wear a cotton under shirt which will allow your skin to breath. For winter sports such as skiing you will want to wear thermal underwear and then a snowsuit. Hats and gloves with thermal linings are very helpful too. Most of the body heat a person loses is from their head so a hat is very important.</p>
<p>The boots or shoes you use for a particular winter sport are very important as well. They need to be designed to offer you plenty of traction as well as mobility. They need to keep your feet dry and warm so you won’t suffer from frostbite on your toes. There are special tennis shoes designed for running in the winter time that will prevent you from slipping due to ice or snow.</p>
<p>Various types of foods and drinks can help to keep you warm during winter sports as well. Soups and stew are very nutritious and they will keep you warm. Hot drinks such as coffee, tea, coca, and cider will help to warm you up as well. Enjoying these types of foods will also serve to help you maintain your energy while enjoying winter sports.</p>
<p>Pay close attention to the signs your body gives you to warn that you aren’t staying warm enough during winter sports. You don’t want to find yourself far away from shelter and extremely cold. Knowing where you are at and where you can find shelter from the cold is very important. Hypothermia can set in if you get too hot while engaging in winter sports and then the sweat from the process makes you cold. You will loose too much body heat this way so pay attention to the physical abilities of your body. </p>
<p>Enjoying winter sports is a great way to have fun and to keep your body healthy. However, it is very important that you do everything you can to stay warm. Serious injuries or death can occur if you aren’t prepared for the elements. Make sure you also have a cell phone, food, blankets, and flares stocked in your vehicle. You never know if you will get stranded driving to or from any type of winter sports activity. You always want to be prepared. Make sure you have at least one other person with you as well. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>There are numerous sports that are played all around the world by a wide range of people.  Ensuring that everyone is in the best health possible and sports related injuries are treated properly has created a huge need for sports medicine.  While it may seem almost trivial to devote an entire practice of doctors to sports medicine there are numerous reasons why it is a wise decision to make.  </p>
<p>Rather than simply working with doctors who are not widely trained in the specific injuries that can occur from sports related injuries it is possible to work with a sports medicine doctor.  These doctors are specially trained in working with athletes to improve strength, as well as help injuries heal quickly and with as few long-term effects as possible.  </p>
<p>Many athletes are injured each year, and often by specializing in sports medicine, the highly trained doctors can gather information and ideas about how to help prevent the injuries from occurring as well as how to help the injuries heal as quickly as possible.  Working with a typical doctor will almost always result in a healed injury but it can take much longer, and depending upon the type of injury can result in your athletic career being over.  The job of a sports medicine doctor is to ensure that through appropriate treatment, strength building, and diagnostics that you are not left sitting on the sidelines.</p>
<p>Advances in modern medicine have made it possible to narrow down how potential injuries can occur.  It is a well-known fact that some sports are tougher on the body than others are, however this inability to all doctors to distinguish what the most serious injuries are often leads them to treating the minor injuries first.  A sports medicine doctor is trained to focus on the most pressing injuries first and then worry about those that are not as important.  This means if you have an injury to your knee that can affect all of your movement as well as walking on a permanent level they are going to focus more time on your knee rather than the sprained ankle you may have as well.</p>
<p>While the idea of sports medicine seems to be solely related to sports and athletes many dancers find relief from sports medicine doctors as well.  Because dancing particularly ballet, jazz and modern are not considered sports some are confused about what benefits a sports medicine doctor can offer.  However, if you consider that dancing is a very high stress activity that places great amounts of pressure and strain on your body it makes perfect sense to see a sports medicine doctor.  Whenever a dancer sustains an injury while doing Pointe work or practicing for a performance, they are almost always referred by the dance master to a sports medicine doctor to help speed the recovery process.</p>
<p>Aside from just being a pricy specialty there are so many benefits to using sports medicine doctors that many athletes simply will not use a standard doctor unless they are forced to.  The added knowledge and experience that sports medicine training provides to doctors is almost unmatched in terms of treating injuries both with and without surgical means.  Looking beyond the initial injury and treating the overall cause as well as the injury is one of the biggest goals and helping all athletes return to full strength is a much needed benefit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Bass fishing represents one of the most popular fishing sports practiced today. Its popularity has yielded a multi-billion dollar industry unto itself, aside from the business of other modes of sport fishing. There are boats on the market designed specifically for bass fishing. Clothes and gears are also very popular. </p>
<p>Freshwater sport fishing in Florida provided recreational opportunities for over 1.32 million people, over age 16, and generated an economic output of $2.0 billion in 2001. Aside from that, Florida freshwater recreational fishing generated 19,519 jobs with earnings of $484 million in 2001. Florida freshwater fishing provided 20.8 million angler days of recreation (92% resident) based on 14.5 million trips. (A trip is from the time someone leaves home until they return and may include many days; a day is defined by an activity on a specific day.)</p>
<p>Bass habitats include a variety of environments, from rivers, lakes, streams, and even ponds. Rivers provide one of the healthiest habitats, due to the highly oxygenated waters from the rapid current. In order to fish bass from rivers, it is best to seek out breaks in the current, perhaps from a fallen tree, a stump, or rocks. The fish that bass feed upon will normally school below a dam, thereby making these spots ideal for bass fishing.</p>
<p>There are at least 32 species of fish commonly caught in the numerous lakes, ponds, canals and rivers throughout Southwest Florida. The anglers pursuing the most popular of these freshwater game fish are locally referred to as either bass fisherman, &#8220;perch jerkers&#8221;, pan fisherman or catfishermen, depending upon the object of their pursuit. </p>
<p>The most common and popular of these are Largemouth Bass, Catfish, Panfish, Chain pickerel and Crappie. </p>
<p>Largemouth Bass without a doubt is the most sought after game fish in Florida. It is the main target of the majority of anglers. Many of these lure busting monsters in the 10 to 12 pound range are taken every year in local waters. </p>
<p>The yellow and brown bullhead, followed by the channel catfish, is the most abundant in the area. They are favored by sportsman for the delicious table fare that they provide. Also harvested commercially, mainly on Lake Okeechobee, and their tasty fillets are served as an &#8220;all you can eat&#8221; favorite in most area restaurants. But it is still the bass fish that promises the challenge of the sport.</p>
<p>Every freshwater river, canal, lake and pond in South West Florida is abundant with what is locally referred to as &#8220;panfish&#8221; for the thick tasty fillets they provide. The term actually covers a wide variety of pan sized fish in the sunfish family. These include, but are not limited to, the following: bluegill, bream, warmouth, and the most sought after, redeared sunfish, locally referred to as a &#8220;shellcracker&#8221; for its diet of aquatic snails. Another favorite is the exotic oscar, which has flourished in the hundreds of miles of canals in the area. </p>
<p>An angler needs only to arm themselves with a cane pole and a can of worms or crickets for guaranteed success in catching supper. However, most anglers opt for the ultra-light spinning outfits with tiny spinners and spoons, or the fly rod with popping bugs. Catches of fifty or more a day are common.</p>
<p>While not particularly sought after, the pickerel must still be considered a game fish for its savage attacks on the lures most commonly thrown by bass fisherman. They are fast, tackle busting acrobatic fighters. While edible, they are usually released due the many pesky little bones in their fillets.</p>
<p>Also locally called speckled perch or &#8220;specks&#8221; and considered as the favorite of the &#8220;perch jerkers&#8221; or crappie fisherman that pursue them. These quick striking fish fall for a variety of lures. They congregate in large schools and once located, provide the angler with plenty of action and a great fish fry.</p>
<p>There are innumerable techniques and types of tackle available to practice the sport of bass fishing. For a beginner, it is advised to gather some more basic tools to get started. Some suggestions point towards acquiring a 10-pound line, suitable for the average sizes and weights of this species. Also, it is suggested to start with artificial bait until the angler has a better understanding of the unique characteristics of the bass fish. The Spinnerbait is common artificial bait used by both amateur and seasoned anglers.</p>
<p>The catch and release method was first introduced in the 1950s. It was designed to reduce the rising costs of restocking hatchery-raised fish, and was normally used for fish not meant for consumption. Popular consensus does not consider bass as a food fish, and thus this technique is widely used.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>New Zealand&#8217;s best couldn&#8217;t stop the world&#8217;s best as top seed Zhou Mi from Hong Kong showed her class to retain her singles title at the US$50,000 KLRC New Zealand Badminton Open at the North Shore Events Centre.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old&#8217;s straight-sets win over Kiwi Rachel Hindley will regain her the world No 1 ranking and plenty of kudos after a 12-month period which has been extremely successful for her.</p>
<p>Zhou appeared to have the shuttlecock on a string placing it all over the court, not letting the New Zealander into the rallies. She forced Hindley into errors in the 21-10, 21-15 win and never seemed to get flustered despite falling behind early in each set.</p>
<p>Despite the loss there was some success for Hindley who gained close to US$2000 in prizemoney which will be put to good use as she travels to Europe on Friday for a number of tournaments.</p>
<p>The men&#8217;s singles final was a matchup between the 2005 winner Sairul Ayob against fellow Malaysian Lee Tsuen Seng who was the tournaments 2006 winner. In a lengthy battle which lasted well over 40 minutes it was Lee who triumphed with his aggressive left-handed game 24-17, 21-17. The actual winning point was a slight anticlimax as Ayob let a shot drop in when he thought it was going out, giving Lee the victory.</p>
<p>The mixed final featured an all-Taipei contest with the world No 16 pair of Hung Ling Chen and Chia Chi Chou playing the No 20 ranked team in the world, Yu Hsin Hsieh/Yu Chin Chien. It was the higher ranked pair who finished ahead 21-18, 22-20.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Ice skating is a fun and festive winter-time sport, and NYC has plenty of places to indulge in the activity. There is the world-famous Rink at Rockefeller Center, but there are also other options. Lace up your skates and get on the ice!</p>
<p>You can’t visit New York City during the holiday season without stopping by the world-famous Rink at Rockefeller Center, still magical after more than 70 years. Admission for each skating session is: Fri.-Sun.—$14 for adults and $8.50 for children under 11; Mon.-Thurs.—$10 for adults and $7.50 for children under 11. Skate rental is $8.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Bass Fishing is popularly known on the different parts of the world! Many people are getting into it. There are even a lot of testimonies regarding their incomparable experiences with this. They were able to share important moments they shared with other people who are also hooked into this form of leisure!</p>
<p>One of the states that have greatly promoted it with their natural beauty and assets and where bass fishing is also very popular is the Northern California. Let’s see on how they give importance to it and on how they tend to get fascinated with bass fishing!</p>
<p>Northern California fishing offers a wide range and varieties of opportunities. By far the most rewarding experiences are best noted to happen in the Sacramento River watershed. It is also because the water types and fishing prospects there are diverse and unique as compared to other lakes and rivers in the place.</p>
<p>When anglers talk about California fishing, often they really mean Northern California fishing. In this area, you will find Salmon: Chinook and Kokanee; Trout: Rainbow, Steelhead and Browns; Catfish: Whites, Channels and Bullhead; Bass: Largemouth, Smallmouth, Spotted and Stripers. There are also Crappie, Sturgeon, and Shad runs.</p>
<p>The massive Sacramento River in Northern California has always been the hottest spot that is commonly visit by bass fishing aficionado. Its watershed encompasses important river and lakes. The rivers include not only the Sacramento River which is the most popular, but as well as the American, the Feather, the McCloud, the Pit, the Yuba, and Squaw Creek. On the other hand, among the lakes are Shasta, Whiskeytown, Lake Shastina, Lake Siskiyou, and the McCloud and Keswick Reservoirs. </p>
<p>Now, going back to the Sacramento River, people are fond of calling it the “Sac”. Talking about its geographical location, it stretches 384 miles and drains a third of California’s water. It has something to be really proud of because there you can find the distinction of the state record of being able to catch King Salmon that weigh at about 88 lbs. </p>
<p>Besides the Sacramento River, there are also other lakes in Northern California that you can go to experience great bass fishing. Here are six of them.</p>
<p>The Shasta – It is the largest man made reservoir in the whole of California. This lake provides many great points for anglers to bass fish in. This lake provides many points to go to.<br />
<span id="more-157"></span><br />
Clear Lake – Not only is it top ranked in the whole state as the best bass lake in California, it is also ranked high among the other lakes in the whole nation.</p>
<p>Folsom Lake – Even with the many bathers and boats in the area, this place is a haven for many anglers on the know-how. There are some points I n the lakes where bass fishes thrive and can grow to gargantuan sizes.</p>
<p>The Cal Delta – Offering up to 2,000 miles of shoreline, this lake is known for its profusion of big bass fishes. The sheer size provides many anglers to position themselves without crowding the area.</p>
<p>Berryessa – A beautiful lake with crystal clear waters filled with large bass fishes. Many Bass fishing trips has ended in a happy not in this lake.</p>
<p>Oroville – California’s topnotch spot for spotted bass fish. This is the place for the adventurous bass fishers who loves a great challenge. </p>
<p>The Northern California’s Bass Fishing Report.</p>
<p>Dyed-in-the-wool fishermen know if you want to catch fish, you go where the fish are. What bit yesterday may not bite today? But general trends do hold and fishing forecasts from Master Guides carry a lot of weight. </p>
<p>Few basins rival the Sacramento Valley&#8217;s fish biomass density. Its rivers and streams are measured in thousands of fish per mile, while its reservoirs are gauged in tons per square acre. This is a fisherman&#8217;s paradise. </p>
<p>The Sacramento River watershed&#8217;s constantly changing water levels peak and recede in annual cycles. This flux is both natural and man-made.</p>
<p>Knowledge and experience of these rhythms can mean the difference between a productive fishing trip and a waste of valuable fishing time. Having someone who can pinpoint the best time and place to fish is what makes guided fishing so much more productive than spending your years on trial and error. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>If Lewis Hamilton does irony &#8211; I&#8217;m not sure that formula one drivers do &#8211; he may be pondering this particular one. In a sensational debut season, he missed out on the drivers&#8217; championship and was the most popular and beloved sportsman in the country. Now, after an even more impressive follow-up year, he looks set to win the thing &#8211; all the more so when he went seven points clear in the championship at Singapore last weekend &#8211; and no one seems all that bothered. Odds are that, even if he does become the first Briton to take the title in more than a decade, he&#8217;ll be beaten to BBC Sports Personality of the Year by a Mansfield swimmer no one had heard of until six weeks ago.</p>
<p>Even as the formula one season reaches a climax, it&#8217;s hard to avoid the ambivalence towards Hamilton. Some have gone off him a bit, others have stopped noticing him. I&#8217;m sure he hasn&#8217;t changed from the fresh-faced rookie of last year, the real person whose humble backstory, down-to-earth approach and boyish enthusiasm for cars we could all relate to. He&#8217;s probably still as caring a son, as devoted a brother, as passionate a sportsman. And he is a better driver than ever. So where has our creeping apathy come from?<br />
<span id="more-155"></span><br />
You don&#8217;t have to look any further than formula one&#8217;s patent-approved, tried-and-tested personality-leaching machine. You could see it at work on Hamilton from the very start of the year, starting with his decision to move to the incomparably rock &#8216;n roll nation of Switzerland (because, lest we forget, he was getting too much sass from shoppers in Stevenage supermarkets). Quickly, he lost the ability to say anything interesting in public and the mischievous side that we glimpsed last year &#8211; even his sense of humour &#8211; seemed to die by the day.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s something impressively clinical in the way modern-day formula one sucks the colour and character out of its stars. And this in a sport that once boasted more playboys than a Hugh Hefner stag weekend. Since the 1990s &#8211; under the influence of the relentless and robotic Michael Schumacher &#8211; the devil-may-care image of motorsport has been replaced with a bland new world of corporate sheen. Formula one drivers &#8211; men who can out-gadget James Bond &#8211; now seem to have all the sex appeal of high street accountants. Serious, hardworking and well paid, yes; likely to get the blood pumping, no.</p>
<p>With so much money at their disposal and so very many supermodels, helicopters and casinos to spend it on, you&#8217;d think these men would make fascinating public figures. Notwithstanding tales of Kimi Raikkonen pulling his trousers down in nightclubs, watch his press conferences and you&#8217;d think he spends his evenings reading the train timetable. I&#8217;m not saying that we want him getting his kicks in public. Just to be reminded that these commercial frontmen have a human side. Even the &#8220;bad boy&#8221; of the track, Fernando Alonso, seems to have succumbed to industrial torpor &#8211; there&#8217;s been nary a peep out of him all year.</p>
<p>Other sports are making their stars more personable, and trying to create engaging role models, but formula one drivers are happy to remain distant and cold. I know it&#8217;s not all their own fault. Those helmets, for instance, don&#8217;t help. How can you feel close to a sportsman when he spends more screen-time behind his tinted visor than Darth Vader? Sports lovers are an emotional bunch, we like to see our heroes grunting with effort, wincing in pain, even crying, dammit! Hamilton could be having a nervous breakdown beneath that helmet and we&#8217;d never know.</p>
<p>I blame the protectionism of Bernie Ecclestone&#8217;s travelling circus and the mentality of the triple-glazed, electric-fenced, shoot-on-sight paddock. Every part of the formula one experience is handed to us sterilised and hermetically sealed; every driver appearance is a climate-controlled commercial exercise. It&#8217;s not just that this show is run by control freaks who don&#8217;t want us to see how it all works. There&#8217;s a real whiff &#8211; detectable even from the TV &#8211; of patronage; that this sport is being played by and for a breed more rarefied, and wealthier, than us, and we should be grateful to be allowed to watch along on our plebeian televisions.</p>
<p>I really love motorsport. I even love formula one. But I wish it would get down from its pedestal and start acting like it was made of a piece with the rest of us. In MotoGP Valentino Rossi &#8211; one of the highest-earning sportsmen in the world &#8211; saturates his sport with his vivacious, volatile, slightly mad personality, and is adored for it. Maybe once Hamilton has this championship safely stowed, we could see him take a real risk &#8211; and let his hair down.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>If you love golf, a golf vacation might be something that you like to do on a regular basis. For the avid golfer, the thought of going on vacation where you do nothing but golf is the idea of heaven. Here are a few things to consider before you take your next golf vacation.</p>
<p>First, it’s always good to go on vacation with people who share your love of golf. Most often a golf vacation turns into a buddy trip, but there’s really nothing wrong with that. But make sure that you pick a destination that everyone can agree on. Take a vote if you must, but be sure everyone wants to go to the same place and that everyone can afford it.</p>
<p>You will also want to take into consideration everyone’s playing abilities when you plan a golf vacation. Someone with a 3 handicap will enjoy a challenging course while a person with a 13 handicap will likely just get frustrated and mad on the same course.</p>
<p><span id="more-154"></span>
<p>As a general rule when planning a golf vacation, you should consider the courses first and the accommodations next. Resorts, especially those with quality golf courses, are expensive. But all in all, if golf is a main purpose or highlight of your trip, decide where you want to play first, and then decide on accommodations. You can take a golf vacation where you stay at a hotel to gain access to a course and then move to a less expensive hotel later. It&#8217;s an inconvenience to have to repack and move during the trip, but can be well worth it in order to play top courses while not spending the entire vacation at posh resort prices.</p>
<p>Even if you are staying at a resort hotel which gives you access to its courses, find out how far ahead of your arrival date you can book tee times. All courses have specific rules for when they will make tee times, which you should take note of and follow carefully.<br />
Some courses even have specific times you must call to reserve your time (e.g., between 7 and 9 a.m. on the Thursday eight days before the weekend you wish to play), though most guidelines are usually more general (e.g., a week before you wish to play or up to sixty days ahead).<br />
You should book as far as ahead as possible, especially for high demand courses. Even as a resort guest, if the course is popular, you may be out of luck if you wait until a few days before arrival or check-in time to get a tee time<br />
Once you’ve embarked on your golf vacation and are ready to play the courses you’ve chosen, don’t just jump right in with the excitement that we know you feel. You must take time to get a feel for the course and stretch properly. Arrive at the course well before your tee time to avoid feeling rushed and look around. Check out the scorecard to see the layout of the course and perhaps talk to the course pro to see if he or she has any advice for you.</p>
<p>A golf vacation is a great way for the golfer to enjoy some of the best courses our country has to offer. So plan carefully and then get out there and have some fun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>One of the best parts of boating is taking trips to places you’ve always wanted to go. Boating trips can be simple day trips or week-long excursions. Many people say that just being on the water is a satisfying boating trip in and of itself.</p>
<p>When you are planning a boating trip, you need to decide many things. For example, how many people will be on the boat at one time? Is your boat equipped for overnight trips or just day trips? What supplies will you need to bring along with you? Answer these questions well before you leave so you will be prepared.</p>
<p>When you leave on an overnight boating trip, the first thing you should do is have your boat checked over by a professional. You will want the boat in top mechanical shape before you venture out on the water. Plus, you will want to be sure you have enough gas to make the trip. If you need to fuel up along the way, be sure you know where the gas stops are.</p>
<p><span id="more-153"></span>
<p>Map out your trip on a navigation map of the body of water you are going on. Physically, take a pen or pencil and draw the route you will be taking. When you have it all plotted out on a map complete with longitudinal and latitudinal lines will help keep you on track and reduce your chances of getting lost.</p>
<p>Be sure to tell someone you are going on a boating trip. Let them know your planned itinerary and when you will be in certain places along the way. It’s also a good idea to check in whenever you port so that they will know that everything is alright.</p>
<p>There are some great places you can go on boating trips. Of course, that depends on where you are located and whether or not you are willing to haul your boat to a place where you can “shove off”. However, many bodies of water like the Mississippi River link into other bodies of water like the Gulf of Mexico. You can literally leave out from St. Louis, Missouri, and boat all the way to New Orleans, Louisiana.</p>
<p>Ocean boating trips need to have special considerations during planning. Check with the Coast Guard as to how you should plan your trip so that you stay out of shipping lanes where the larger ships travel. This is especially true if you have a smaller boat, which you probably do. Avoiding accidents on the ocean is very important as it is on smaller bodies of water.</p>
<p>Boating trips are great ways to escape from reality and get some well-needed rest and relaxation. The water is soothing and you will be able to explore places from the comfort of your boat – your home away from home! Plan boating trips carefully and then enjoy your time on the water!</p>
