Oregon offers many sites for both the veteran hikers and the day hikers. It is also a great haven for family hiking where you can bring your children and younger members of the family without having to worry about the dangers that might await you in other more rugged terrains.There is so much with Oregon hiking that it is fairly difficult to begin mentioning a great spot. So we have narrowed down your search into the best day hiking spots in Oregon. Here are brief descriptions of what you might see in each site:Arch Cape- It is a good introduction to old-growth forests with its display of cedar and fir layers. Recently, the Arch Cape tunnel was closed which gave the school children attending a school in Cape Falcon no choice but to walk the trail. This gives us the basic idea that the trail of Arch Cape is a moderate one which presents even little children a fair walk.Bagby Hot Springs- Hot tubs out of slabs of logs are welcome treats even for veteran hikers especially during midwinter. It is also great during early spring and late fall. There are several hot and cold springs that adults and children will both like. Clothing depends on the choice of the visitors and people not accustomed to public nudity are advised to choose other spots.Benson Lake- Apart from the steady climb which is marked by wildflowers and huckleberries, Benson lake also offers a great toe-dipping spot through informal trails that could be glimpsed from the left of the trail.Big Obsidian Flow- If you are intrigued by the latest lava flow of the Oregon, Big Obsidian Flow is the best trail for you. It is situated in the Newberry National Volcanic Monument that highlights the flow of the area's volcanic history. Several interpretative signs explain how Native Americans explored the area and gathered obsidian for tools and jewelry.Cannon Beach- This hiking trail begins from the Cannon Beach town and continually heads southward to the sandy beach and the Haystack Rock which is a designated seabird nesting spot. Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area- If you want another excellent look at the Haystack Rock, you can try the trail that takes you towards Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area in Pacific City. Aside from the lookout to Haystack, you can also enjoy tide pools, the Nestucca Bay and the surf.Cape Lookout State Park- This trail is situated in the midst of Sitka spruces, which are hailed to be the tallest conifers found in North America. If you hike in Cape Lookout during December up to April, you might witness gray whales during their semiannual migrations.Cape Perpetua Trails- There are about ten trails in Cape Perpetua, choose among them and enjoy an array of rocky tide pools, coastal forests, geysers, and other ocean spectacles. Devils Punchbowl State Natural Area- This site is famous for its wonderful sea caves, off shore rocks and whipping waves. Drift Creek Falls- A descent of 340 feet, the hiking trail showcases a fun trail towards the cascade of the falls. Along the hike, you can enjoy magnificent assortments of coastal forest species and stunning suspension bridge that leads downward the Drift Creek Falls. A day hike is not necessarily a strenuous hike towards a mountain summit, it merely means hiking for moderate hikers and beginners. In here, we have given you several spots where you can introduce day hiking to younger members of your family and to those who are too old for arduous trails.

The Holiday Season is upon us. This time of year we have the habit of indulging ourselves. Food is an important aspect of our celebrations. It is therefore obvious that we make wise food choices. Of course, this is easier said than done. Especially when we see some of the food that is available that is made by our family and friends.In the majority of cases people will not be concerned with those of us watching our weight. Because of this they are less inclined to prepare healthier versions of their recipes. At this point it becomes our responsibility to both stick with our diets and to watch what we eat. It is obvious that the variety of dishes that we are presented with will be very tempting.What follows are 10 eating suggestions that will help you with your weight loss program.1. The first one is to stop eating when you are full. At this time of year this is something that many people do not do. This is especially true of those people that believe in cleaning their plates. I do not believe in wasting food, so take only what you can eat comfortably. At the point that you feel satisfied you should just stop.2. Get into the habit of walking, especially after eating. Walking may be the best form of exercise. It can be a very good cardiovascular exercise, particularly in the colder weather.3. It is important not to count calories incessantly. I never cared for this form of dieting. Also, it drives the people around you nuts. There already are enough stress factors this time of year. The smartest thing to do is to watch what you eat as opposed to keeping track of the calories.4. Watch your sweets. Avoid eating too much fat. I am not fond of artificial sweeteners. I believe that they cause more harm than good. If you are at a holiday celebration, just try to indulge in a small amount of sugar.5. Eat 3 good square meals as opposed to several smaller meals or continuous snacking. I realize that this is contrary to what many articles and experts say. Eating regular meals, sitting down to eat, eating quality food and chewing well are what is important.6. Realize what your eating limits are and do not cross them. This is very important if you have changed your diet and are trying to lose weight. You know better than anyone else what you can and cannot eat. It is true that most of us enjoy splurging at this time of year. It is really a matter of making up your mind and sticking to your guns.7. Opt for the best food choices. At every family function there ought to be some healthy food choices. Choose the plain fruit and vegetables as opposed to the cake, cookies and pies. Stay away from the dips.8. It is best to eat in moderation. Choose the healthiest foods, sit down when you eat and chew your food extremely well.9. If you choose to drink, do so in moderation. Remember that many holiday drinks are loaded with sugar. Your best choices might be water, unsweetened tea or coffee.10. Eat whole grains. Very few people realize that whole grains are biologically the stable of our diet. Stay away from white bread, cake or anything with processed flour. These food will put the pounds on very quickly. Instead, it is best to eat whole grain or multi grain foods.There are always more things that you can do to help your weight loss. It is important to remember that converting to a healthy lifestyle is something that you should practice the entire year.
Traditional ways of learning required a teacher, a chalkboard, a desk, a ruler, pencil, and a textbook. A teacher with a stern, professional posture stood before the room with barely a smile on her face as she taught her class. This was the image seen in many movies and some adults actually had her in their class many years ago. She or he may have conducted a rather boring class, spending a lot of time talking over your head or talking to the chalkboard. The teacher restricted the class to textbook studies only and quizzes and tests every week. Every now and then it was a real treat for students to watch a movie in her class, even if it was boring and the film jumped around on the screen. As for field trips, forget about it, students were lucky if they got to have an additional recess from time to time. Then when test time came, the worksheets seemed to be as old as them. Oftentimes a student, with a raised arm, would say, “I can’t read number 15.” Then other students would nod or murmur in agreement. It would be a long school year in Mr. or Ms. XYZ’s class.Years ago the Internet didn’t exist so we will just excuse Ms. XYZ for not having readily accessible information that could give her the ideas to stimulate her students. She may have been too busy grading papers or tending to her own family. Whatever her excuse, she has none nowadays. There are plenty of websites, articles, and other ways to make learning fun for children. The following suggestions may help you as a parent, who would like to assist your children or the teacher, stimulate her skills while making life more interesting for her class.1. When beginning a new subject or topic to teach, why not decorate the class related to a theme. For instance, if you will be teaching about dinosaurs, why not have posters hanging in your classroom about dinosaurs?2. Provide something fun related to your topic that children could take home to color, solve a puzzle or show off such as stickers or a colorful book that they can keep.3. Always have an interesting DVD ready to “kick off” a new subject.4. Set a time during the day, maybe Friday, where the students are required to work on a project together related to the topic. Students could try to piece a puzzle together, watch a video and write or draw what they really like from it, or play a game that will help them remember what you have taught them.5. You may want a speaker to come in and talk about the subject other than you. Find out from parents if they know someone that would be willing to come to the classroom to speak on the topic you are teaching. Have the speaker bring something with them that will help the students remember his or her visit.6. Talk with other teachers about what you are doing and maybe they would be willing to help you. They may be interested in getting their class to participate.7. Research your local community on events that will aid you in your teaching. There may be a “free zoo day” and you just happened to be teaching on animals.8. Watch out for sales. Sometimes products you may need to accompany your topic can be purchased at a reasonable price.9. Tell parents both verbally and physically how you can use their input.10. Visit online forums, blogs or create your own social networking profile to connect with other teachers to exchange ideas.For a unique gift idea, click on the link following this article.

It's indeed incredible that not many people pay a great deal of attention to what gets into their minds.You see, the mind is the single most important factor in determining who you are and what you do as an individual.If your mind is positive and creative, you can become all you ever dream of becoming.Most of the highly successful people you see in the news today took a great deal of time to work on improving their minds.On the other hand, if your mind is negative and inactive, it's very likely you won't amount to anything in life.

And guess what? Most newspapers only end up giving us bad news that further increase our negative state of mind.If you want to really get positive and helpful information, you need to read books that contain such information.Thankfully with the advent and popularity of audio books, anyone can get the right information into his or her mind without having to "read".You can enjoy the benefits of audio books while exercising, commuting to and from your work, etc.For those who don't know exactly the audio books to go for, below are some of the 10 best audio books to improve your mind.1.
