Our winter getaway over the last two days was supposed to include a couple of different activities: snow-tubing and outdoor skating. Well, our outdoor skating fell through, due to the extraordinarily warm conditions, however, we had a beautiful day yesterday on Kempenfelt Bay in Barrie, where we enjoyed some great outdoor time on frozen Lake Simcoe.Today, after our delicious filling breakfast at Nicholyn Farms Bed and Breakfast, we headed off for another adventure: snowtubing at Horseshoe Valley.

Ever since I was a young girl, I've been captivated by the Olympic Games. My family would watch the television coverage together, and we'd marvel as the stories of victory and defeat unfolded.My dad (Ron Soble) was a world-class track athlete who won medals in the national championships. He even tried out for the Olympic team. Sadly, he fouled out in his attempt at the running long jump and missed his chance to compete for Olympic glory, much to his great disappointment.Stories about the athletes and their journeys to greatness or defeat have always captured my attention. That's why I continue to tune in, even though all the viewing statistics seem to indicate that I am one of few who make a...
Elements of Triathlon Competition
It all started with the debate of who's the best- the runners, the swimmers or the cyclists? We all know that they have their individual fortes but during the 1920's, when the first triathlons were held, this topic had been ringing wild in the sports world.To put a stop on this, a Navy Commander named Cdr. John Collins initiated an event wherein swimming, cycling and running routines are involved.An athletic event composed of three contests, triathlon also covers the measurement of a person's proficiency in maximizing his time off the intervals. Plus the capacity to endure the subsequent stages of the activity.Though its earlier versions were much less rigid, modern-day triathlon has now truly...

The Effect Of The RSROA On Roller Skating
In 1937 a group of roller-rink operators determined to band together and make a serious attempt to elevate the sport's standards and management. Several amateur competitions were fostered. On April 3, 1937, seventeen operators met at Detroit and organized the Roller Skating Rink Operators Association (RSROA) of the United States. It set up as its main objective the advancement of amateur roller skating. Perry Rawson, a retired New York broker and amateur ice skater, who had thoroughly studied International Style figure and dance skating, visited England in 1937 and saw for himself what had been accomplished on rollers in that country.

Low functioning autistic adults need constant care. They generally live at home with their parents or in residential facilities where their needs can be constantly addressed. For most of these...
ADHD: Pay Attention, Now
Over the past quarter century, the numbers of those diagnosed with ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) has increased dramatically. More sophisticated diagnostic tools and social acceptance of the malady may be a partial explanation. However, a consideration of social changes may be a worthwhile exercise in trying to define reasons for the widespread growth of this condition.In ancient times, say the 1960s, life at home and work bore little resemblance to our current climate. There had been many early electronic advances and zeal for modernization permeated the workplace where slow computers required hundreds of square feet of office space. The invention of correcting-type tape (we...
How To Stay Involved In Figure Skating
A lot of time and money gets devoted to figure skating when a person has a passion for it. A lot of people start out at a very young age learning how to skate, and when they grow up want to stay involved. Not everyone has the ability to turn into a professional figure skater though. There is more to ice skating than becoming a professional. Some jobs other than professional skating are coaching, reporter for ice skating news, or a job in rink management. First, we'll look at becoming a coach. All different levels need coaches. In order to coach the upper levels of figure skating, you will need to have more skills. Lower levels will require less skill, but you will still need to know the basics and...

Consider your staff too - would they wish to give up a sunny summers day or a cold winters evening to attend a function in the same place that they spend most of the days of the year? Probably not! Works parties should be fun occasions for people to relax after working hard, thus your office may not be the best place for this.

The History of Racing and Off Road Go Carts
What started out as a way for airmen in the 1950s to pass the time has turned into a popular worldwide sport for many. Go carts have quickly become a phenomenon all over the globe. With most historians giving Art Ingels the credit for inventing the go cart, he built his very first one back in 1956. But that first go cart was nothing compared to the models we have today. Newer more modern go carts can now travel 160 mph or faster. Now that's amazing.This miniature Formula One racing machine is referred to by a lot of names including go carts, go karts, go-carts, shifter carts, gocarts, gokarts, enduro carts, and a number of other ways. But one thing is for sure, getting behind the wheel of one of...

First Trout
The Magic of My First Trout I grew up in Iowa fishing for catfish, bass, crappie and bullheads using some ofthe worst smelling baits you could imagine. But my father loved to hunt and fish so I went along. On one summer vacation to Oklahoma, Dad stopped at the fish hatcheryin Bennett Springs, MO. I can still remember standing on the bridge watching a fly fisherman gracefully casta dry fly upstream to the base of the little dam feeding a pool by the hatchery. Onthe third cast, he hooked up with a nice fat 12 to 14 inch rainbow that leapt outthe water 3 or 4 times trying to throw the hook. The fisherman prevailed and slipped the rainbow into his classic wicker creel withthe slot in the lid. (Back in...
Headsets
Headsets or headphones are actually miniature speaker systems. They are stereo hearing systems that are wearable, thus providing mobility to the user. Traditional headsets were bulky and large with two speakers for both the ears encased in padded ovular ear cups. These ear cups were attached to a headband in the shape of an arch that went over the head. Each of these ear cups had a signal wire joined down together as a single wire, which was connected to the audio player/ radio through a headphone jack.Today's headphones are technological wonders-extremely lightweight with no irritating cords, almost negligible in appearance, with built in savoir-faire like noise canceling, sound quality, durability...

Ice Skating... Getting The Competitive Advantage
Speaking in general terms, if you play a sport, you are inclined to seek a competitive advantage. The desire to win, compete, excel, challenge, and improve are just a few of the underlying reasons that a sport is played. Golf is a great example of a sport that sparks the desire to seek a competitive advantage. Purchasing a bigger driver, a nicer putter, a set of custom built irons...the list seems endless. The reality is that all of these things can, and often do, in fact improve your golf game. If you have ever played golf with a set of clubs that are too short...long...wrong flex... etc. then you have likely experienced the frustrating difference it makes to your score when you compare it to the...

Skate Bored?
Though skateboards were around in the early 50's and 60's and actually very widely used back then they weren't well made and so eventually died out. The early ones were basically just milk crates with roller skate wheels and maybe a handle. More like a scooter. The wheels were the big problem, being mostly of clay, and resulted in lots of accidents from slipping or breaking and causing a fall. Even with better boards the wheels still created difficulty, and the sport pretty well died out in the mid-60's.It wasn't until the 1970's that Frank Nasworthy, a surfer, developed a wheel made from urethane and then added precision bearings, and bolted them to a good quality board. The sport took off again...
Uganda - The Pearl Of Africa Glows Again
Uganda is a beautiful country with an impressive people. This is one of my favourite countries in all of Africa. The people of Uganda have survived the troubles of 1967-86 period and emerged standing upright and wearing a smile. In that short period, the country suffered under the caprice of two despicable despots. One was the indisputably insane Idi Amin and the other, the arguably insane Milton Obote.This is now history – a testament to the dignity and endurance of this people. The transformation of the country in the period since normalcy returned is nothing short of astounding. And it shows in the faces of the people you meet. That the graceful beauties of Uganda have not received the...
Useful Information About Skiing
Transport is essential, regardless of the weather conditions. Sometimes, man has to rise above his surroundings and devise innovative means of transport. This was especially true in places where snow is an almost permanent feature. Skiing originated in Scandinavia as a necessity and since then, has seen a lot of progress in style, technology and use.The father of modern skiing is said to be Sondre Norheim. He came up with the idea of using bindings that help in turning when skiing downhill, and this was improved upon by Mathias Zdarsky, which led to what is now known as alpine skiing. Hannes Schneider came up with the idea of body rotation for steering. The Arlberg technique became popular as the...

Burton Upon Trent Businesses
Burton Upon Trent as many other towns is losing its roots mainly because Coors has taken over the world reknown brewer Bass. The same as HP being taken from Birmingham to go to Europe. When will it stop? I started to see it with pub companies planting the same pubs in every town in the UK and the same with department stores. Every town starting to look the same. England and everytown within it has its one underlying attraction - tradition. This is soon disapearing and this really gave me a blow to the ribs when they have even taken our British beer Bass away from us. We need to encourage UK businesses, firstly from leading by example by not selling our national iconic businesses to other countries...

It seems that we are only just beginning to discover the power of green tea. Over the last few years, green tea has been linked with reducing the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and rheumatoid arthritis. And, as time goes on, it's likely that we'll find more and more uses for green tea. The magic bullet in green tea is its high level of anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants combat free radicals that are created in our bodies as we process food. The free radicals produced damage our cells and our DNA, and eventually lead to disease if we don't combat them.

When most people think about 900 numbers for television, they usually think about those ads with girls in hot tubs that have been seen on American television since 1987. This is true despite the fact that AT&T and MCI have not allowed adult entertainment on 900 numbers for many years. The fact is it was television that actually made 900 numbers a reality in the first place. 900 numbers were first used on television when ABC wanted a way to gauge public opinion of who won the 1980 presidential debate between President Jimmy Carter and then Governor Ronald Reagan. Viewers chose the Californian and both a new presidency and a new technology were launched. Years later, those zanies from Saturday...
