Professional Sports Eyewear Snowboard &Goggles

Many of us always slip our favorite pair of shades before going outside for our daily business. It’s not just for a matter of looking nice but ski goggles come with a variety of protection that offers you a safe life.

The little wrinkles at the corners of our eyes that come from too much in the sun we wouldn’t want to have them thus ski goggles protects us from the wrinkles.

So grab those ski goggles before you make a move to the beach or the park, or anywhere outside whether it’s bright or cloudy. And buy some for the kids in your life, too.

Wearing goggles will protect your eyes from any debris if the worst happens. If they are snugly attached, they can protect your eyes from the biting cold and are less likely to fall off.

The Goggles and UV protection

The sun gives off UV radiation and Rays that you cannot see or feel. Thou sometimes the sun is important since, in small doses, it boosts vitamin D. But too much of it can cause problems like sunburn and skin cancer as well as damaging your eyes.

Before you even check the price tag it’s recommended that read the label. Goggles block 100% of both UVA and UVB rays.

There is nothing quite like snowboarding high in the mountains on a sunny day, but your eyes are hugely at risk without any protection. You may not have given much thought to your eyewear requirements, but we are here to provide the best, cheap and make sure you get the protection you need.

If you want to safeguard your eyes at altitude, you should at least wear sunglasses as they will help preserve your eyesight. However, investing in a set of goggles are much safer when taking part in extreme sports like cycling, swimming or even cricketing.

The atmosphere is a great deal thinner in the mountains to those who spend their leisure time at mountains, and the sun’s rays are stronger. Reflections coming off the snow can bounce back up at you when you are skiing, and this can cause severe damage to your eyes. The UV rays can cause permanent damage, but all our goggles will prevent the harmful UVA and UVB rays reaching your eyes. Additionally, they will also reduce glare so that your vision is not hindered. All you need, to purchase them since they have a variety of prices that suits your wallet.

Clear visibility is essential to an excellent run, and when wearing snowboard goggles you won’t need to squint to see your ideal route. Goggles increase contrast so that any undesirable features in the snow are more obvious.

Chardonnay plays an important role in Washington

Chardonnay is an important wine grape variety in the Pacific Northwest. This sign is in Cold Creek Vineyard in Washington’s Columbia Valley. (Photo by Andy Perdue/Great Northwest Wine)

Chardonnay has been at or near the top of the heap in Washington wine country for the better part of 30 years. But how did it get to that position?

The ubiquitous white wine grape’s origins in Washington state are somewhat murky.

According to The Wine Project, Ron Irvine’s superb history of the Washington wine industry, the grape arrived in either 1963 or 1964. Washington State University’s Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center (IAREC) in the Yakima Valley town of Prosser indicates the grape arrived from the University of California-Davis in 1964. But elsewhere in Irvine’s book, it is noted that the stakeholders for Associated Vintners planted Chardonnay – along with several other varieties – in 1963 on Harrison Hill near Sunnyside.

Regardless of which year Chardonnay showed up in Washington, by 1968 only 9 acres were planted in the state, according to records provided by Wade Wolfe of Thurston Wolfe Winery from when he worked at Chateau Ste. Michelle in the 1970s.

In 1968, Al Newhouse planted Chardonnay on his property at the base of Snipes Mountain near Sunnyside. Newhouse, who would later purchase the Harrison Hill vineyard from William B. Bridgman’s family, planted those grapes for Seneca Foods Corp., which was preparing to launch a Washington winery called Boordy Vineyards in Prosser. But by the time the vines began to bear fruit, Seneca no longer wanted the grapes, so Newhouse sold them to a winery in Canada for four or five years, said his grandson, Todd Newhouse.

After that, Associated Vintners, which later became Columbia Winery, contracted the grapes until Chateau Ste. Michelle picked up the contract in the late 1970s. Ste. Michelle purchased the grapes until 2003. The vineyard became badly injured in the epic 1996 freeze that damaged nearly half the vines in Washington’s Columbia Valley. Todd Newhouse eventually pulled out the vines and replanted with Concords.

“We knew it was an undesirable spot,” Todd Newhouse told Great Northwest Wine. “When the state had way too much Chardonnay in 2001 and 2002, that was when one of the contracts came up and didn’t get renewed. We knew it was time for them to go.”

But that 1968 block lives on. In 1979, Al Newhouse wanted to plant more Chardonnay but couldn’t get any plant material.

“It was a last-minute decision,” Todd Newhouse said. “Nobody had any plants.”

So he pruned his 1968 vines and, without using rooting hormone or anything else, simply stuck the sticks in the soil on steep, rocky slopes. Everyone in the industry, including experts at WSU in Prosser, told Newhouse he was crazy and it wouldn’t work. Yet, 95 percent of those vines lived, and that section of his vineyard, now dubbed the “Water Tower Block,” is the best Chardonnay block at Upland Vineyard on Snipes Mountain.

By 1972, Washington had 127 acres of Chardonnay planted. That fell to 112 acres in 1974 but went back up to 194 by 1978. That same year, Chateau Ste. Michelle began planting wine grapes around the Horse Heaven Hills community of Paterson at the future site of Columbia Crest. The company established vineyards at the rate of 500 acres per year, and Wolfe, who oversaw viticultural operations for the company at the time, said at least a few circles were planted to Chardonnay.

By 1985, the U.S. Department of Agriculture began to track Washington wine grape harvest information, including tons crushed and prices per ton. That vintage, a spring frost damaged many vineyards, particularly white wine grapes. Despite that, Washington crushed 2,050 tons of Chardonnay that year, making it the state’s No. 2 grape behind Riesling’s 6,400 tons.

With vineyards recovered from the 1985 frost damage, Washington Chardonnay tonnage nearly doubled in 1986. Then it doubled again in 1987 to 7,500 tons. It and all other varieties dipped in 1991 because of severe winter damage, then Chardonnay cruised above 10,000 tons in 1992 for the first time.

Here are 10 examples of Washington Chardonnay we’ve tasted recently. Ask for them at you’re favorite wine merchant or contact the winery directly.

Lesson: Introduction to Wine Making

## Chapter 1: What is Wine Making?
Wine making is the process of turning grapes into wine. It involves harvesting grapes, crushing them to extract their juice, fermenting the juice to produce alcohol, and aging the wine in barrels or tanks before bottling it. Wine making has been practiced for thousands of years and is an important part of many cultures around the world.

## Chapter 2: Types of Wine
There are many different types of wine, including red, white, rosé, sparkling, and fortified wines. Red wines are made from dark-colored grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. White wines are made from lighter-colored grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. Rosé wines are made by blending red and white wines together. Sparkling wines are carbonated and can be white or red. Fortified wines are made by adding brandy or other spirits to the wine during the aging process.

## Chapter 3: How Wine is Made
The process of making wine starts with harvesting the grapes. Grapes are usually harvested in the fall when they reach peak ripeness. Once the grapes are harvested, they are taken to a winery where they are crushed to extract their juice. The juice is then fermented in large tanks or barrels. During fermentation, yeast converts the sugar in the grape juice into alcohol. After fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in barrels or tanks for several months or even years. Finally, the wine is bottled and sold to consumers.

## Chapter 4: The Importance of Chardonnay in Washington
Chardonnay is an important grape variety in Washington because it grows well in the state's climate and produces high-quality wines. The grape was first planted in Washington in the 1960s and has since become one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the state. Chardonnay is used to make a wide range of styles of wine, from crisp and refreshing whites to rich and buttery wines. It is also used to make sparkling wines and fortified wines.

## Chapter 5: Critical Thinking Exercise
Why do you think Chardonnay is so important in Washington? Is there anything else that could be as important? Explain your answer.

Worley, a bronze medalist two years ago, posted the fastest time in both runs on the Planai course, which has a steep and icy finish and is also being used by the men.

Worley finished in a combined time of 2 minutes, 8.06 seconds to lead the field by over a second. Defending champion Tina Maze of Slovenia, who has already won this season's World Cup GS title, came 1.12 back in second for her third medal of the worlds after winning the super-G and placing second in the super-combined.

"A dream has come true," said Worley, who won seven races on the World Cup - all in GS. "I am very relieved. Winning in Schladming is great. This is not just a race, this is the world championship."

Worley said the rock-hard course, including an unusual steep part for a women's GS, favored her.

"I like difficult hills," Worley said. "I knew before the start I could be really fast on this hill. I just had to ski freely and avoid mistakes."

Worley's victory followed up on gold for Marion Rolland in downhill, silver for Gauthier de Tessieres in super-G and bronze for David Poisson in downhill.

"I am very proud of them all," Worley said. "We have a great atmosphere in our team and now I am a part of the party."

France won its sixth gold medal in women's GS at the worlds and matched the record held by Switzerland.

After winning four races this season, Maze started as a clear favorite but was already over a second behind Worley after a disappointing opening run.

Maze had to adjust her line shortly after the start and never looked comfortable as she struggled for rhythm.

The Slovenian bounced back by putting in an attacking second run with an impressive finish.

"This medal is nicer than all others," Maze said. "I had a bad feeling after the first run. Everything went wrong and I was very down. It was my worst run all season. I tried to stay positive and then my second run was really great."

Fenninger, who lost her super-combined title last week, was relieved to finally win a medal in her last event at her home worlds.

"It was an extremely difficult world championship," Fenninger said. "Somehow I didn't believe in (a medal) anymore. It was hard, all the pressure. Today, I just tried to have fun while racing."

After failing to finish both the super-G and the super-combined races, and placing 11th in downhill, Fenninger left the team base near Schladming for two days and went home.

"I was thinking, 'what is really important to me?' That's just ski racing," Fenninger said. "I tried to forget all the rest and ski like it's just an ordinary World Cup race."

In her first appearance at a major championship, American teen Mikaela Shiffrin finished 2.30 behind in sixth for her career best GS result.

"I had a lot of fun today and I think I skied well," Shiffrin said. "I know where I can improve so it's always a good feeling coming out of a day knowing that you can be better but you did well."

Shiffrin will be among the favorites for Saturday's slalom.

Olympic champion Viktoria Rebensburg was slowed by a rib injury following a training crash on Wednesday and finished 3.33 off the lead in 11th. Her German teammate, former overall champ Maria Hoefl-Riesch, was 3.09 back in ninth.

Former Olympic champion Julia Mancuso had two below-par runs and finished 4.74 off the lead in 22nd.

The GS featured a record 139 starters from 55 nations, including China, Uzbekistan, India, Iran, Libya, Taiwan and Armenia. Several skiers finished more than 30 seconds off the lead.

Varsha Devi of India needed almost twice as much time as Worley to complete her run and finished in 2 minutes, 5.99 seconds. Only the top 60 qualified for the second run.

Lesson 1: Introduction to Algebra

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the manipulation of symbols or letters representing numbers and variables, according to certain rules. It is used to solve problems involving unknown quantities, such as "how many?" or "how much?". In this lesson, we will introduce you to the basics of algebra and provide you with examples and exercises to practice.

Section 1: What is Algebra?

Algebra is a way of expressing mathematical relationships using symbols and letters instead of numbers. It is used to solve equations, which are statements that two expressions are equal. For example, 2 + 3 = 5 is an equation because both sides of the equals sign are equal.

Section 2: Basic Operations

In algebra, there are four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These operations can be performed on any two expressions that have the same type of terms. For example, 2 + 3 = 5 because 2 and 3 are added together to get 5.

Section 3: Variables

Variables are letters or symbols that represent unknown values. They are used to represent unknown quantities in equations. For example, x + 5 = 10 is an equation where x represents the unknown value that makes the equation true.

Section 4: Equations

Equations are statements that two expressions are equal. They are used to solve problems involving unknown quantities. For example, 2x + 3 = 11 is an equation that can be solved for x by isolating it on one side of the equation.

Section 5: Solving Equations

To solve an equation, you must isolate the variable on one side of the equation while keeping the other side equal to zero. This is called solving for the variable. For example, to solve for x in the equation 2x + 3 = 11, you would subtract 3 from both sides to get 2x = 8, and then divide both sides by 2 to get x = 4.

Conclusion

Algebra is a powerful tool for solving problems involving unknown quantities. By learning the basics of algebra, you can solve equations and express mathematical relationships using symbols and letters. With practice, you will become more comfortable with algebraic concepts and be able to apply them to real-world scenarios.

## Lesson: How to Use a Lighter Safely

### Introduction
 A lighter is a handheld tool used to produce fire through combustion of a flammable gas and an ignition source. It is an essential tool in our daily lives, especially for smokers, cooks, and outdoor enthusiasts. However, improper use of a lighter can lead to fires, burns, and other hazards. In this lesson, we will learn how to use a lighter safely.

### Section 1: Understanding the Parts of a Lighter
A typical lighter consists of three main parts: the case, the lid, and the flint. The case is the outer shell that protects the inner components of the lighter. The lid is the part that opens and closes to expose or hide the flint. The flint is the part that produces sparks when struck against the striker.

### Section 2: How to Use a Lighter Safely
Here are some safety tips to follow when using a lighter:

1. Keep your lighter out of reach of children and pets.
2. Store your lighter in a safe place where it cannot be knocked over or accidentally activated.
