Question by Chaos_Zero: 28 outlaws on mountain trails?
My 05 Honda 500 4×4 has a 3 inch lift to accomodate the tires (I didn’t pay for em). For my senior trip, me and my buddy are taking a tour of all the atv parks in Georgia. while these tires are good in the mud, they’re useless at everything else. Once we get up to the northern part of the state, it’s more mountain trails than mud pits. I was wondering if these tires would be alright, I don’t really feel like buying more tires. I’ve rode mountain trails in North Carolina for around 10 years so I know how to handle myself, but I’ve only taken my 4 wheeler on light trails, the ones we’ve got in mind are apparently pretty mean. The only one that really worries me is Beasly Knob, the trails are all rated Difficult to Most Difficult. Would these tires be alright? The terrain is pretty rocky (judging by the pictures) and a little slick from leaves. Also, if anyone has actually been to Beasly Knob, that would be a great help, if you could tell me what to expect. I appreciate the answers guys!

Question by MichL: How Do You Handle Santa Claus And All Of The Other Holiday Myths In Your House?
I don’t want to get into a debate but many people are now secularizing themselves away from religion. Many of the holiday characters especially Santa Claus are linked with Christianity and other religions.
I wanted to know if you still raise your kids into believing in The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy or you are not bothering at all with the fairy tale stories. Just curious to see what newer parents are raising their kids to believe.
i was raised on all of the myth fairy tale holiday characters and was quite devastated when I found out they were not real and i was lied to about all of this by my parents.

Answer by Ny_attitude
Our son believed in Santa, but not the tooth fairy or the easter bunny.
Why?? Well, with the easter bunny, he asked at 3, “mommy, how could a bunny get that big and carry all that stuff???” It wasn’t believable to him so we didn’t push it. I might also note he has Aspergers Syndrome.

Question by Clayton: Like Poetry? Please help me out!?
The Forsaken
I
Once in the winter
Out on a lake
In the heart of the north-land,
Far from the Fort
And far from the hunters,
A Chippewa woman
With her sick baby,
Crouched in the last hours
Of a great storm.
Frozen and hungry,
She fished through the ice
With a line of the twisted
Bark of the cedar,
And a rabbit-bone hook
Polished and barbed;
Fished with the bare hook
All through the wild day,
Fished and caught nothing;
While the young chieftain
Tugged at her breasts,
Or slept in the lacings
Of the warm tikanagan.
All the lake-surface
Streamed with the hissing
Of millions of iceflakes
Hurled by the wind;
Behind her the round
Of a lonely island
Roared like a fire
With the voice of the storm
In the deeps of the cedars.
Valiant, unshaken,
She took of her own flesh,
Baited the fish-hook,
Drew in a gray-trout,
Drew in his fellows,
Heaped them beside her,
Dead in the snow.
Valiant, unshaken,
She faced the long distance,
Wolf-haunted and lonely,
Sure of her goal
And the life of her dear one:
Tramped for two days,
On the third in the morning,
Saw the strong bulk
Of the Fort by the river,
Saw the wood-smoke
Hand soft in the spruces,
Heard the keen yelp
Of the ravenous huskies
Fighting for whitefish:
Then she had rest.
II
Years and years after,
When she was old and withered,
When her son was an old man
And his children filled with vigour,
They came in their northern tour on the verge of winter,
To an island in a lonely lake.
There one night they camped, and on the morrow
Gathered their kettles and birch-bark
Their rabbit-skin robes and their mink-traps,
Launched their canoes and slunk away through the islands,
Left her alone forever,
Without a word of farewell,
Because she was old and useless,
Like a paddle broken and warped,
Or a pole that was splintered.
Then, without a sigh,
Valiant, unshaken,
She smoothed her dark locks under her kerchief,
Composed her shawl in state,
Then folded her hands ridged with sinews and corded with veins,
Folded them across her breasts spent with the nourishment of children,
Gazed at the sky past the tops of the cedars,
Saw two spangled nights arise out of the twilight,
Saw two days go by filled with the tranquil sunshine,
Saw, without pain, or dread, or even a moment of longing:
Then on the third great night there came thronging and thronging
Millions of snowflakes out of a windless cloud;
They covered her close with a beautiful crystal shroud,
Covered her deep and silent.
But in the frost of the dawn,
Up from the life below,
Rose a column of breath
Through a tiny cleft in the snow,
Fragile, delicately drawn,
Wavering with its own weakness,
In the wilderness a sign of the spirit,
Persisting still in the sight of the sun
Till day was done.
Then all light was gathered up by the hand of God and hid in His breast,
Then there was born a silence deeper than silence,
Then she had rest.
Duncan Campbell Scott
