The cave explorers that were lost in Texas were found. I am relieved, maybe I am claustrophobic or something. Maybe I feel like I would want to be found if I were trapped in a tiny cave like that.
When I say tiny I mean you gotta crawl through it. You cannot stand up, but it is 12000 twisty winding feet. So rescuers feared that they may have gotten tired, or lost. It is possible that after 24 hours hypothermia may have set in.
It was said “imagine crawling for hours on your hands and knees in a cave at 68 degrees” and thinking this authorities were concerned. The spelunking party was found, and is doing very well. (more…)
If you are bored heres a great way to get a rush. These guys are braver than me, but I think I would give it a shot. How does a person get into a sport like that?
Likely one of the most prevalent sports for active males today, paint balling has swept through America. Everyone knows at least one person who plays the sport. Perhaps you do, or your friend does, maybe your son, heck maybe you even know one of those daring ladies that engages in the grand sport.
Well if you don’t, why not?
No time to start like the present. But you will need gear. I couldn’t imagine playing a round of paintball with my paintball vest or my mask. Please don’t play without a mask, eye injuries are possible. Of course with a vest and a mask, you will be safe.
Of course, the main piece of gear in paintball is the gun. Its the piece that players pride themselves on most. There are some beautiful designs available. My personal favorite design replicates the M4 carbine.
There are several types of paintball events, and the two I find most interesting are the “woodsball” and the “scenario” syles of engagement.
Scenario ball tends to be massive in scale, and groups of people will often register together. Scenario tends to be re-enactments of famous battles, and each faction is given a task to accomplish. Perhaps the terrorist team must hold a given point, and the SWAT team must take that point, for example. Any number of possibilities exist in an organized scenario game.
Woodsball is an exciting twist to an already great game. The basic idea here is space, there is more stalking involved, as opposed to the “spray and pray” of the close quarters fight. Basically this uses military maneuvers to overcome your objectives. There are many ways to play this, but the basic element is the hunt, and the open space.
Ten million people paintball each year, you can make it ten million and one.
12 passengers were in a hot air balloon when it blew up. The balloon ride was in British Columbia on Friday evening. It was still tied to the ground when it happened.
All but 3 passengers made it out of the basket before the fire burned through the rope and the hot air floated up.
Witnesses say the balloon got to 400 feet of altitude before the flames destroyed it, and it came crashing to earth. They say the basket was, at that point, a fireball and it plummeted with great force.
Witnesses say they are mortified and stricken by knowing that people died in that manner.
One person jumped out at about 100 yards of altitude, the bodies of 2 others were recovered on Saturday.
Witnesses report there was a struggle in the basket as the flames took over the basket of the balloon.
The propane tanks dropped in the affair and set a trailer park ablaze

Developer “All-in-One Game Software” now has BlackJack!! Black jack adds to the already addictive fun of games like backgammon, poker, and perudo.
Of all the sites I have gone to and enjoyed this is the only one that allows you to play free, in an animated client. It allows you to use 10 languages. (Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew, French, Japanese, Danish, Greek and German, and English). This particular provider of interactive entertainment boasts thousands of players networked at any given time. And now that they have BlackJack on the menu you can expect the number to grow exponentially.
The game itself offers high speed play, coupled with stunning visual graphics, each table holding up to 5 players. Each player can choose to create his own avatar which i had a bit of fun with. You can chat with fellow players, and even more interesting, the games possess a “view” mode, which allows other players to sit out and just watch the action!
Backgammon
Backgammon is a board game for two people in which pieces are moved based on the roll of dice. The first player to remove all of one’s own pieces from the board is said to be the winner. It is a part of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of games in the world.
Perudo
Perudo is popular dice game played in Peru, Chile, Bolivia and other South American countries. This game may be played by two or more people and, basically, is made up of guessing how many dice, under cups, there are on the table showing a certain number. The player who loses a round loses one of their dice. The last player having a die is the winner.
Blackjack
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino card games in the world. Blackjack’s popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting . Blackjack’s precursor was vingt-et-un (”twenty-one”), which originated in French casinos around 1700, and did not offer the 3:2 bonus for a two-card 21.
Poker
Poker is a popular type of card game in which players gamble on having the better card combination (”hand”), by placing a bet into a central pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains “in the hand” after all others have folded (the player who makes an un-called bet.
Yeah, we all want it, but how exactly does one get money? Theres the working method. Thats good for paying the bills, but suppose those the hot girl ( or guy) you want to impress, Fridays on its way, but your check it spent! Argh! The bills!
So here’s what i do:
I get a personal loan from a trustworthy lender, this gets me through the pinch, and can really impress the girl. *smiles*
Theres an alternative for those of us that require it, and its often the best and fastest choice, a secured loan will often do what you thought impossible.
Both of these options are viable and recommended. I have found the very low fee I pay is more than worth the pleasure and success I enjoy because of the extra money I possess on the weekend, or on vacation.
I enjoy UKpersonalLoanStore.co.uk because they are fast, friendly, have the best loans.
It’s a common thing for New Yorkers that want to go to Times Square to watch the festivities involving New Year’s Eve. If you are one of those people you should probably think ahead and plan on certain things that you may not consider when previously conceiving the idea to go to Times Square from your state. If you’d rather see in person than watch it on TV one of things you can want to do is make sure you wear layers of clothing in order to stay warm during the lengthy time you’ll spend outside in January.
Also allow you one have good standing shoes that are comfortable on because you’ll be standing for a long time. you should probably consider a folding chair to bring along. If you have no friends bring a magazine if you have friends at private good idea to bring them keep you company in an celebrate the new year. You should consider something with an interior pocket as opposed to having them on your pants in the event that you would get pickpocketed. My personal suggestion would be to also bring a camera and if you’re inclined take pictures of the event. You’ll want to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally to be surrounded by loud drunken people. I would not drink a lot a liquid prior to going to Times Square to to the fact you have to use their disgusting Porta Johns and then attempt to fight your way back to the position which you may or may not have been taken by the crowd. There would be beverages available at various vending stations in the area, but they would be very expensive and not worth the money. And bear in mind you’re going to have to go to Times Square to reserve your spot. At least 10 hours in advance due to the popularity of the event but the excitement and fun it will be yours. When a thousand people yell happy new year after counting down and make it worth all the hassle and you will gain a lot of interesting stories to tell your friends and years to come
Theres no one place that can open your way of thinking, but i think that travel in general, especially on a world scale will definately open your mind. When you experience the life of another culture, and if you enjoy it, and embrace it, whether you choose to or not, you will grow as a person.
Europe is a wonderful place, if for no other reason than the fact you can simply board a train and make a day out of going to another country and back home again. You can go to Germany and then train to Switzerland, or Italy, or France etc. Then go see the Alps, its all right there. Couple that with the history thats visible and palpable in Eurpoe.
Imagine further, Africa. The culture there is still primarily intact. The vegetation unchanged. The animals more exotic and beatiful than that of any other place. The people are far kinder than the media would have you believe.
Some people make pilgrimages to the places they have roots, Ireland, England, Scotland, Norway, china etc. I think these are deep and meanful trips to many, much akin to a spiritual pilgrimage
Explorers Found
