remained essentially flat at $51,324, only a $47 step up from last year.
For Virginia, 2012 brought a steeper decline. Income fell by $1,400, or 2.2
percent. Economists said the state was particularly vulnerable to federal
budget cuts and faces the specter of more this year. Income also fell by at

Is It 1937 All Over Again?
Background:
Have global events begun to look and sound too familiar in 2011 to a
previous era in the 1930s? In 1937, economic conditions were surprisingly
similar to those at present. Commodity prices were rising, people worried
about inflation and deficits, and so they acted -- and paid the price. Many

These repeats are designed to help build muscle strength. There are 2 ways
to run hill repeats and it all depends on the type of hill. Short reps can
be done on a steeper hill and these will build strength and power. The
longer reps with a moderately sloped hill build speed and power. |

reassess it before you start down
* Beware of hidden cliff bands on new descent routes.
(Don't be tempted into a quick descent via an unknown gully, exit gullies

have a very long 40-45 degree slope with short sections of 55 degrees.
hitting 50 degrees is very rare in ski resorts. It's inevitable that slopes
that steep will have thin snow cover in places. Corbet's Couloir is less
than 50. Some lines at Palisades are steeper, but not for too long. |

much over your edge but not inside of your turn. It is a "bad habit" though
in that it will get you into trouble at higher speeds and on steeper terrain
. The reason is due to centrifugal force; that force that tends to pull you
to the outside of the turn at speed. How this negatively affects you is this
leaning adds a ton of centrifugal force to your board`s edge in a tun. This
tends to want to push your board out away from you in a turn, caus |
