Ice Climbing Park
Can anyone tell me what this dream means?
I'm at a park with my older sister. Then I fall down a hill into a forest where all the roots of the trees are stretched out across the forest. Well I roll into this river. I can see the bottom and on the side there is a hole and a white snake comes out of it and swims around me. I lose site of it and pull myself back up on land with a loose root. Then I end up in the tower of a castle made of ice. I look out the window to see that fetuses are frozen into the frame of the window. fake sculpted fetuses. not real ones. I look out the window and find that it's night time and my sister is ice skating with a little girl. i climb out the window happy to find my sister and we skate off into the snow. What does this mean? thanks.
These dreams may have some sort off meaning. The snake may represent a spiritual creature in the psychic world called a shadow. Not many people know about these creatures so if you have questions then send me an email.
As for the castle and frozen fetuses it may be a sign of hidden deeper emotional problems. Or perhaps it holds a meaning like the snake. As for the part where you fall down the hill it may be a vision of the future or perhaps a warning of some sorts like things going down hill for you and possibly tangling with death.
I suggest you study these dreams and you should also find out if some one in your familiy is psychic.
Hope i helped and good luck.

Adventures Of The National Park
If you are planning a National Park vacation you might want to consider one or a few of these top 10 National Parks listed below.
There are many National Parks to visit, but the parks listed below are the most scenic and most popular of all the National Parks and recreation areas. I can personally attest to the beauty and grandeur of all 10 of these favorite National Parks. They are truly the best natural recreation areas the United States has to offer.
Spending your vacation in the great outdoors is a much better alternative than staying cooped up in a hotel room or visiting touristy theme parks.
A National Park vacation is an incredible way to treat yourself and your family to the beauty of God's creation.
These top 10 National Parks below offer a vast array of activities for the entire family. Some of those activities include hiking, biking, camping, rock climbing, mountain climbing, whitewater rafting, tubing, horseback riding, snow skiing, bird watching, fishing, and much more.
As you can see you will never run out of things to do on your National Park vacation.
Here are my top 10 recommended National Parks for your vacation:
Acadia National Park
Located on the rugged coast of Maine, Acadia National Park encompasses over 47,000 acres of granite-domed mountains, woodlands, lakes and ponds, and ocean shoreline.
Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake is located in Oregon and is famous for the intense blue color of its waters and for its spectacular views. There are steep 1,500' to 2,000' drop offs all around the lake...simply beautiful.
Grand Canyon National Park
The beauty of Grand Canyon is beyond compare. When you first lay eyes on its magnificence it will take your breath away. You are completely humbled by its immense beauty and size and there is truly no place like it on earth.
Grand Teton National Park
Located in northwestern Wyoming, Grand Teton National Park is home to stunning mountain scenery and a diverse array of wildlife.
Great Smoky Mountain National Park
Ridge upon ridge of endless forest straddle the border between North Carolina and Tennessee in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, one of the largest National Park areas in the Eastern United States. It is also the most visited National Park.
Mount Rainier National Park
Mt Rainier National Park was established in 1899 and covers 235,625 acres (97% is designated Wilderness). Includes Mount Rainier (14,410'), an active volcano encased in over 35 square miles of snow and ice. The park contains outstanding examples of old growth forests and subalpine meadows.
Petrified Forest National Park
Petrified Forest National Park is a surprising land of scenic wonders and fascinating science. The park features one of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood and the multi-hued badlands known as the Painted Desert.
Rocky Mountain National Park
Established on January 26, 1915, Rocky Mountain National Park is a living showcase of the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains and my favorite National Park vacation site.
Yellowstone National Park
In 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a law declaring that Yellowstone would forever be "dedicated and set apart as a public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people." Maybe one of the most famous National Parks and the home of Old Faithful.
Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park embraces a spectacular tract of mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada, which was set aside as a national park in 1890. Yosemite was made famous by Ansel Adams spectacular black and white photography.
Spending your next vacation in one or many of these National Parks will be a treasure and the memories will certainly last a lifetime.

Where can I get focus in Shaun White's Snowboarding?
I collected all 12 Euros and found the park city hideout, but there is ice blocking the hideout. I know i am supposed to find Shaun to get focus, but I do not know where he is. Help?
His hideout is located on the right side of the mid-mountain. You can follow his location buy looking at your radar/the mountain map. You have to go through an icy tunnel to get there. You don't have to go through an icy wall to get to his hideout so I'm thinking your just following the wrong path.
Try going straight towards his location from different angles and hopefully you'll find the correct path. Remember, follow the arced gateways with his face on it. That way you know your going the right way. If you're have any trouble, message me and I'll help you until you find it. =]

Benefits of Headlight Replacements
When it comes to car safety, having functioning headlights is about as important as it gets – right up there with the stopping power of good brakes. When the sun starts its daily decent, headlights are your eyes on the road. And when one blinks out, you're pretty much guaranteed some face time with one of the blue clad enforcers. Ouch! Replacing that headlight is a lot cheaper than a ticket, and the perfect match to the one that's out is only a few clicks away. From exact stock replacements to aftermarket upgrades, headlights are some of the easiest replacements you can make. And upgrading is an affordable snap – literally. Euro sport headlights, top of the line HID lights or brighter white lights to cut through the darkest nights and thickest fogs install easy.
A wink and a nod may be a sexy way to give the go ahead on the sly, but you're not going to get far if it's your car headlight that's doing the winking. Perhaps the most pressing replacement when it gives up the ghost, a headlight change can still be easy to put off, "I'll just stick to day driving until I get around to it..." too often turns into a ticket. Or worse – a trip to the dealership where replacing the headlight with its evil twin costs the removal of bodily extremities. A stock light purchased online is guaranteed to be a perfect fit – and is a quick driveway install job. Plus, your wallet gets to keep some padding.
Illumination brings life into the darkest corners and pulls the beauty of dew tipped fields into view. It also, thankfully, lights up the eyes of a totally freaked out deer, the patch of ice lurking on a twisty road or the sign warning of a hairpin corner to come. Give your car the best to work with. Technology has made great strides in the world of lighting, from cleaner burning bulbs that last many moons longer to blue-white lights that cut through the deepest nights and most harrowing weather systems. Look no further, we've got your car's eyes up in lights right here.

Ice Climbing Reports
How does one attract and/or spot a UFO?
I am a regular sky watcher and can spot nebulae, planets, and the occasional comet with my unaided eye. I even spotted a wavering object in the sky, orange on bottom, green on top, it was seen by others and reported in the local paper(Norwich Bulletin, circa 1990). Watching a Gemini space walk on TV I noticed a small ball climb up the side of the ship and take off at a right angle, NASA said that was ice but astronauts do not agree.
UFOs (unidentified flying objects) are only unidentified because the observer lacks the astronomical or meteorological knowledge to identify them. That's why you never hear about UFOs observed by astronomers or meteorologists; they're only reported by people who are unfamiliar with what can be seen in the sky. I've been an amateur astronomer for over fifty years, and have never seen anything in the sky that I haven't been able to identify.

Are Mountain Sports Legal in Bulgaria?
For the last 10-15 years some sports that are practiced in a mountain environment gained more and more popularity in Bulgaria. These include off-piste skiing, mountain biking, climbing, QUAD, skidoo and motorbike riding. Growing interest leads to new problems that the authorities and the society as a whole should face. Accidents, possible threads for the nature, violations of the regulations and conflicts between practitioners and other visitors of the mountains are topics that need to be considered and solutions to be found.
In January 2010 only for a couple of days two people lost their life in avalanche accidents in Bansko, the Bulgaria's most modern ski resort, located in Pirin Mountains. Both happen on a slopes that are accessible from the ski lifts but are not part of the ski area. The large public interest caused a reaction of the authorities, who refer on the restrictions in the Management Plan of Pirin National Park. There it's written, that no skiers are allowed outside marked tourist routes on the territory of the park. Which simply means that backcountry skiing is nearly impossible in Pirin Mountains. A few people were charged according to this rule and things settled down. The same sort of restrictions are valid for Rila Mountains, where Rila National Park is located, and the same actions were taken by the authorities in the area of The Seven Lakes, which is a popular off-piste destination – total prohibition of off-piste skiing.
Obviously that sort of actions doesn't solve the problems that need to be analyzed and discussed counting all the interests – of the skiers, environmentalists and the society as a whole, which doesn't want to hear about accidents so often. The unsatisfactory measures for the moment suggest that this is an upcoming task, important role in which will play the skiers and snow borders community that has to cope with the currently existing prejudices in regard to their off-piste activities. Currently there is no official avalanche reports and monitoring in Bulgaria – information that becomes more and more necessary along with the increasing number of skiers who leave the pistes looking for powder. Reliable avalanche risk reports, strict regulations about terrains which are allowed or not for off-piste skiing counting the real possible negative consequences for the nature, adequate rescue services and not least teaching the skiers how to take care for their own safety in the mountains are some of the most important measures that will make practicing of this nature friendly sport in Bulgaria possible without conflicts in the society and safer.
A step in the right direction is the newly accepted document that regulates the access in some areas of Rila National Park, which are popular for ice and mixed climbing. Only members of the Bulgarian Climbing and Mountaineering Federation and federations members of UIAA are allowed to practice climbing in tBikers in Strandja Mountainshe areas of The Seven Lakes and Skakavitsa. Presumably the federations will be responsible to keep their members informed about the regulations in the protected areas and will cooperate for preserving these regulations. Some of the best places to practice ice and mixed climbing in Bulgaria are located in the territory of protected areas and actually forbidden.
QUAD (or ATV, All Terrain Vehicle), skidoo and motorbike riding in the mountains become popular for the last decade in Bulgaria. People are more sensitive about these and more negative reactions are attracted because of the pollution, noise and the bad behavior of some of the practitioners that all together thread the nature and disturb the other visitors in the mountains. There is still not effective control on the drivers of these vehicles and new regulations are expected. The newly updated (in February 2011) Bulgarian Forest Law requires that riding sport machines is allowed in forested areas only if following special routes. But setting these routes and chasing the offenders are still ongoing missions. The second is already a problem in the protected areas, such as national and nature parks, where rules exist, but no effective way of performing them.
The last update of the Forest Law contains a part that provoked protests from the side of the mountain bikers. This is the paragraph that equalizes mountain biking to the motor sports, which means that mountain bikers should also use only certain routes to practice their favorite sport in Bulgaria.
Generally, a consistent official policy regarding practice of the adventure sports in the nature is needed, and a clear view how to combine that with the very important mission of protecting the nature. This will lead to synchronization of the existing rules to the real situation and chance to practice these activities legally and safe, which is important for the practitioners and the tourist business. Of course some people get more and more nostalgic for the times when all these sports weren't that popular and didn't attract attention, so one could practice them unmolested everywhere in the mountains. Still lack of understanding the problems and extreme opinions from "total ban" to "let the nature to the people" dominate the public. For sure these questions will gain interest and cause discussions in a future, until the balance is found.

The slow lori as a pet?
I was surfing youtube videos and I found this ADORABLE little creature http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLdQ3UhLoD4 Its so freaking cute I almost expect it to turn into a monster when it gets wet! So I wanted to find out more information about it, I looked it up but didnt find what I was looking for. Its so interesting!
Its a primate? What family does it belong to? Is it in the sloth family? Are they endangered? (I see they are hunted for their eyes)
I read that they produce a venom in their spit, what do they hunt in nature with the venom? Are they smelly like ferrets? Are they social animals?
Please dont lecture me about having one as a pet, I would never adopt an exotic animal, they have special needs I couldnt meet, I would feel bad anyway because they look like they need somewhere to climb- and in none of the videos did their owners provide them with a tree or toys to climb, I just think they're really interesting little creatures Ive never seen before!
Slow loris are nocturnal primates (related to ring tailed lemurs) that live in the jungles in asia or Philippines, India, Thailand etc. Yes they are considered endangered mainly because of habitat loss and because of traditional medicine practices. It is estimated only one million are left.
I believe they hunt with their big eyes at night and have a keen sense of smell. Apparently their spit is toxic as you mentioned. I do believe the toxin serves some sort of function of killing/paralyzing/ingesting its insect, lizard, or egg prey (apparently they eat tree sap as well) and probably is a defense mechanism as well. This is probably because they are slow moving animals that do not have good leaping abilities.
Loris are social creatures but mainly solitary. They can live in small group consisting of several females but only one male.
Yes Loris would probably be smelly as they sent mark their territory with urine.

5 Favourite Pets to Keep if You have Allergies
We Brits are a nation of pet lovers. But what do you do if you are an animal lover and are allergic to their fluff? It's a real nightmare: you love animals and would like to keep a pet, but the wheezing, sneezing and itchy eyes associated with pet allergies makes it impossible to have a pet dog or cat. Well, fear not good pet-lover, as there are other pets that are recommended to keep which won't have you reaching for the anti-histamines!
Lizards - Firstly, you need to choose whether or not to get a herbivore or a carnivore. For the carnivorous types you will need to get live bait for food. With lizards this so that they can see it move, and identify it as food. It's not always best just to get fly larvae as if they aren't eaten immediately, they will spin cocoons and become flies, proving difficult for the lizards to catch. So it's best to stick with crickets as they will breed in the lizard's container. If you are brave enough, some larger lizards will eat live mice.
Don't give your lizard raw meat unless you physically feed them yourself, it doesn't move so they will not eat it. Most lizards do not eat every day either, so try not to overfeed, as it can cause problems including insect infestation. Always research how big your lizard will grow when adult, some get extremely big and you will have to accommodate them. Most lizards are small enough to be housed in a five or ten gallon aquarium. Always keep the lid on so the food doesn't escape! You don't want them moving into your house! Inside the tank, you must keep a heat rock; lizards are cold blooded, so it is important that they have a source of heat. You must also remember that lizards are usually sluggish creatures, so do not be overly concerned if they don't move a lot.
If you are new to lizards, begin with species that are easier to care for. These include:
Other lizards such as Geckos, Iguanas, Chameleons, Chinese Water Dragons and Savannah Monitors, are better suited to more experienced reptile owners. They require proper environments and large spaces.
Snakes can make great pets, but it is best never to keep large constricting snakes or venomous snakes. Most snakes will live to be about 20 years old, so they are a huge commitment. If you are starting out with snakes, try to get a snake from infancy as they will be easier to tame, so stay away from wild caught adults.
Snakes are best kept in glass or Plexiglas tank, so that you can see them and control their environment accordingly with the temperature and humidity. Always keep the lid secure. Any snake will try to escape! Try to line the enclosure with butchers' paper for easy cleaning. Don't use gravel or cat litter or wood shavings, as they trap moisture and waste and can hide parasites. They should be kept around 80 to 85 degrees during the day for tropical snakes. If necessary, have a heating pad or shielded heat lamps. Most other snakes can manage in 70 to 80 degrees.
Snakes need either live or dead food. You can buy frozen rats which you can thaw to room temperature and these are very convenient, as long as you are happy to keep them in your freezer! when it comes to feeding live ones, you must remember to train your snake to feed in this way, as a healthy rat is quite capable of seriously injuring even a large snake.
The best snakes for beginners are Corn Snakes, King and Milk Snakes and Ball Pythons. Try to avoid large constricting snakes, venomous snakes, and snakes that require more care requirements, such as Boa constrictors, red-tailed boas, Burmese pythons, Tree boas or pythons, Water snakes and Green snakes. Never have Reticulated pythons, Anacondas or any venomous snakes as these are potentially very dangerous. Another fact to bear in mind is that you may need a permit to keep certain types of snake, as they will only act on instinct and can be dangerous. Keeping exotic pets is a big responsibility for which you need to be prepared.
Spiders - Tarantulas are the best and most popular spider to keep as a pet. However they are large and although only slightly venomous, their bite is painful. The New World spiders flick hairs from their abdomen when threatened so they can irritate the skin and eyes. However, most species are docile. You could go for a wolf spider; their venom is virtually non-existent and the bite is almost completely harmless to humans. The only problem is, is that they are fast and aggressive, and they can escape!
Tarantulas and Wolf Spiders need the same amount of space and feeding, but the temperature and humidity are different for each. Enclosures are usually fairly small, but you must ensure that you have either burrows or climbing spaces, depending on your type of spider. Hiding places are essential. Try not to use lamps, use heated strips instead. Tanks should be kept in darker areas of the room. Spiders like to feed on live insects such as crickets. Spiders tend not to overeat. However, a live prey insect may be a danger to your spider during molting.
Generally the best beginner tarantulas are the ground dwellers or burrowers, as they tend to be a little slower moving. Best tarantulas to start with include, Chilean Rose, Costa Rican Zebra, Mexican Redknee , Mexican Redleg, Desert/Mexican Blonde, and Curly Hair Tarantula. The pinktoe is a good first arboreal (tree-living) tarantula, but not a good first tarantula. Normally, arboreal species are more challenging. The pinktoe is also quite fast and agile. Try to have a female as they live longer than the males. The males will also try to get out to find a mate, causing them unnecessary distress.
Tortoises and Turtles can live for about 50 years and sometimes more, so they are a long term commitment. All turtles and tortoises need exposure to ultraviolet light, either by the use of UVA/UVB producing bulbs or through natural exposure to sunlight. On the whole turtles grow quite large and need large tanks. Box turtles and tortoises are best kept outdoors in pens for at least part of the year, weather permitting.
These creatures need fresh vegetables and fruits, and there are also some formulated foods on the market for certain species. Because they eat a lot, they will also produce a lot of excrement, so they can be messy. They are also not good for younger children due to the risk of salmonella. A balanced diet is essential; luckily most common garden plants, like cress, parsley and dandelion leaves are great because they have high levels of minerals and vitamins. Try to steer away from lettuce which isn't very nutritious and too much cabbage slows down a tortoises metabolism. Make sure that there is always plenty of clean water.
Ensure that you research what is best for your type of tortoise. You must consider what you can offer them in terms of space. Can you give an outdoor terrarium, indoor terrarium, or perhaps both? It is thought that tortoises are able to live outdoors and are capable of surviving our various weather conditions, but the small period of warm weather and sunshine in the UK is not really enough for farming them. Therefore tortoises should always be kept warm and awake and never put through hibernation without professional advice. Good indoor enclosures should consist of a cardboard box with a UV light and heater at one end to create a temperature gradient. Ideally though, a tank with a thermostat controlled heating and UV light will ensure a more realistic, natural environment.
Due to the kidnap of many tortoises as well as looting of turtle eggs from Southern European beaches, there is now a strict governance of only captive bred Mediterranean species being sold legitimately in the UK. Ensure that you are aware of where your tortoise or turtle has come from, as there is sadly a huge black market whereby they are smuggled into the UK from not only Europe, but Africa, Asia and South America too. Many turtles and tortoises end up at animal sanctuaries having been seized by immigration officials, so check at your local santuary first before rushing into a private purchase. The main types of tortoise for sale in the UK are now:
Hairless Cats and Dogs - certain breeds of dog or cat which are hairless or hypoallergenic, so a known pet allergy should not be a problem in all but the most sensitive of sufferers. For dogs these breeds include, American Hairless Terrier, Chinese Crested, Peruvian Inca Orchid and Xoloitzcuintli. Low-dander breeds which allergy sufferers may be tolerant of include Basenji, Bedlington Terrier, Bichon Frise, Irish Water Spaniel, Italian Greyhound, Kerry Blue Terrier, Maltese, Poodles, Portuguese Water Dog, Schnauzers and Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. For cats, breeds include the Siberian, Sphynx, Cornish Rex and Devon Rex.
Whatever your choice of animal, there are certain responsibilities which come with being a pet owner. These include providing the basics of food, water and shelter, as well as health and veterinary care. Vet's fees can be expensive, so another consideration, especially for cats and dogs, should be protecting yourself financially with a good pet insurance policy. All pets, even spiders and reptiles, deserve love, care and attention - whether or not they are capable of showing it in return!
