  "British Columbia, Canada is known for its fabulous skiing and snowboarding - think Whistler, and then think expensive. But only a three hour drive east of Vancouver is the Thompson Okanagan area where two of the very best ski resorts in Canada are located. Fortunately for all the winter sports lovers in Hawaii, Harmony Air will be starting in November 2005, nonstop air from Honolulu to Kelowna International Airport, 12 miles from Silver Star and 35 miles from Big White."

  "Beaglepen@aol.com ToughGuy Beagles Orange County, NY, USA Let me introduce myself. My name is Joe Guidice and I grew up in Rockland County, NY which is about 35 miles north of New York City. My first exposure to hunting came as a young child when I would assist my father in giving NYS Hunter Education classes. A lifelong dog owner and hunter, I got my first taste of Beagling with a relative when I was about 20 years old. I'm very passionate about hunting and hunter's rights issues. I've never been shy about my love for my dogs and for the great sport of hunting."

  "Rick with a native western NY hare. Rick (camo cap) and Rich Wells bagging bunnies off the shores of Lake Ontario Hello fellow houndsmen! Welcome to my biography page. Here in western NY we take our hunting and field trialing very serious. I have been around hunting hounds my whole life, starting off with redbone coonhounds, then to black labs, basset hounds, and now my present day Beagles. I spend about 30 hours per week, year round in the field with my hounds. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm a human. I just can't get enough! My hounds are competed in UKC, AKC, ARHA, and CKC gundog Beagle events."

  "Gord with his first two Beagles (Domi and Rocky) and three nice snowshoe hares taken in Newfoundland. Gord just enjoying his "job" of hare hunting and then writing about it for the magazine. Born and raised in Newfoundland's capital city of St. John's, Gord Follett didn't spend a considerable amount of time "in the woods" as a young boy because sports such as track and hockey occupied most of his time. When he began his career in the media business in 1978, however, he worked mostly night shift, so he began hunting and fishing to prevent boredom during the daytime."
  Rabbit Hunting With Beagles: A Circular Pursuit -
  "Many of you out there have probably hunted rabbits using the walk and jump method. It is similar to hunting upland game birds without a spaniel, pointer, setter, or retriever. If you are lucky enough to walk in the correct spots where rabbits are sitting in forms (nests), get them to jump and run, and then fire a well aimed shot before your game is out of sight, then you stand a good chance of getting your daily bag limit. This method requires a lot of hard, leg work and good luck on your part. Also, often you will never get a second shot at the rabbit before it is out of sight or out of range once jumped."

  "I'm a 42-year-old married father of two from Interlochen, Michigan. I am eternally grateful for the grace of GOD, which allows my family the opportunity to live in this most beautiful part of the country. I consider myself the average 'do-it-yourself' outdoorsman who's fortunate to be able to hunt and fish year-round. Hunting with Beagles is a passion that I have had for the past 32 years, ever since I was able to talk my father into letting me have one when I was ten. Most of what I have learned about Beagles over the years has been by way of trial and error."

  "Biography The Early Years Larry Dane Brimner, born in St. Petersburg, Florida, spent his early childhood exploring Alaska's Kodiak Island. He traces his love of reading to that time in his life. Since there was no television reception and only sporadic radio reception, entertainment came in the form of books and stories. Reading and making up stories was a part of day-to-day family life. Raised in a traditional Southern family--his parents hail from Birmingham, Alabama--telling falsehoods was frowned upon but embellishment was encouraged."
  Maze wins season-opening GS -
  "SOELDEN, Austria - Tina Maze of Slovenia won the season-opening World Cup giant slalom, and this time she was alone on the top of the podium. She shared her maiden World Cup victory in Soelden in 2003 with Austria's Nicole Hosp and Norway's Andrine Flemmen in an unprecedented three-way tie. "This is my hill," Maze said Saturday after completing her two runs in 2 minutes, 24.59 seconds. "This time things finished a little differently for me. I didn't have to share the win. It was all mine." Croatia's Janica Kostelic, the Olympic giant slalom champion, was second in 2:24.93, moving up from fifth after the opening leg."
  The Mercury: Dumb, dumber robbers were in debt [23oct05] -
  ""I owe money," he said, adding that he was in debt in Australia and the US. Prince told police a similar story. He said he owed some debts and money to his parents and wanted the rich lifestyle of the Vail ski village where he and Carroll had been working. "Prince was going to use the money to get a clean slate and pay off all his debts," states a copy of the FBI report of his interview. Prince later told police he did not expect to get as much money as he and Carroll did from the bank robbery and after stealing it he "did not know what to do"."
