Extreme Golf Experiences Around the World
2009-10-13 23:52:00 As the PGA Tour season comes to a close and enters "silly season", it is up to amateur golfers to decide whether or not to stash their golf clubs in a corner of the garage or to embark upon an extreme experience to an exotic locale. The serious player never wants the season to end! From "ice golf" in Greenland to playing "sand" golf in Dubai, experiences that challenge the senses as well as your ability are worthy of the trek, and the "fun factor" of being on unfamiliar territory will surely be a memorable experience. Grab a flourescent ball for this golf course: Although temperatures rarely climb above -13 degrees celsius and with a wind chill factor that sometimes makes it feel as if it is -50 degrees in the sun, (did I just say negative 50?) Uummannqaq, located north of the Arctic Circle, is home to the World Ice Golf Championships held in March.. I wonder if there is a large crowd on hand to watch the final round? The west side of the island is also home to Santa Claus,...
Kyle Orton Is Shocking the World
2009-10-12 07:41:00 And a hush fell over the Chicagoland area. The Broncos and Kyle Orton beat Tom Brady and the Patriots. And this time the role of Captain Comeback was played -- spot on -- by Kyle Orton, former Bear. To be sure, Orton has been the beneficiary of some great luck and great plays by his receivers. The defense in Denver has been phenomenal. But it's time to give the man his props. Kyle Orton played an incredible game today. The Broncos are 5-0. And Orton is a big reason they are. It's often said that if at the end of the season you're 9-7, then you're a 9-7 team. The meaning being that it all evens out over 16 games....

Potash Corp. (POT): Feed the world
2009-09-18 06:00:00 "Investing in the fertilizer business may not sound sexy, but the dynamics of the food sector will turn it into one of the most profitable sectors you could find," explains Tony Sagami.In The Asia Stock Alert he suggests, "Every farmer needs to use fertilizer, and the most important is potash. And Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (NYSE: POT) is set to make a bundle supplying potash to the world.""There are approximately 6.6 billion people on our planet today, but that number is expected to grow to 8.2 billion by 2030. That’s a lot of mouths to feed. "Plus, the amount of food each mouth is eating is also increasing. The world’s population isn’t the only thing that’s growing. So are incomes in most parts of the world, especially China. "What’s the first thing you would buy if your income went from subsistence to middle class? A Mercedes? A Rolex? Probably not.

Hogs Haven - The Fastest Growing Washington Redskins Community in the World
2009-09-17 19:30:00 *This statement has been confirmed by multiple sources, Florio-style (which is to say I polled my wife, my 2-year old son, and the leftover spaghetti in the fridge.) We are proud to say that, in addition to going over 1 million visitors, Hogs Haven membership is cruising toward 1,500, and rising fast. With all the new folks coming through and checking us out, we thought it would be a good idea to set a season-opening tone to kind of spell out what it is we all do here and what we think it is important people know. 1) First and foremost, this is a fan-based community. We are in this because we love rooting for the Redskins and following our favorite team. Being a fan is about lovin', not hatin'. Criticism of the team and the moves it makes are welcome and necessary, but we try to refrain from hating on Skins here. You do that and you pretty much have identified yourself as a Cowgirls or Eagles fan. 2) The community theme is very important. Once you sign in as a member, we encourage...

Climate change: The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes
2009-09-16 18:59:00 With the media heating up for the December Climate Change Summit in Denmark, it is time to for some reflection.Does the name "Severn Cullis-Suzuki" mean anything to you? Severn was 12 when in 1992, she raised money to attend the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. She spoke to the summit members in a speech which became famous. A speech which -sadly enough- could have been given today. It makes one wonder what progress really happened in the past 17 year.Do we actually make progress on protecting our planet for the sake of our children, and their children? In an age where Green Goes Commercial, where corrupt companies like Monsanto and Cargill start dominating our food chain, and chase the food prices up so the poor no longer have access to food. A world where Western companies buy up fertile land in Africa to grow biofuel crops so less land becomes available for food agriculture?Did we make progress, or are we still sliding downhill?Check out the most recent news and blogposts about th...

A Tribute to the World Trade Centers when they were normal
2009-09-12 08:02:00 I worked in the South Tower Floor 86 of the World Trade Centers from 1996-1998. All the every day mundane memories of my time there - walking from the Lexington line WTC station up through the underground concourse, past the Chas Schwab offices and up the fast elevators (sometimes they would suddenly stop midway and head back the opposite direction, which folklore blamed as the consequence of the 1993 garage bombing) - suddenly became etched into my brain after 9/11. I sometimes search for videos of the WTC neighborhood like it was a Facebook friend just to see what I remember. It's too bad nobody was bored enough to video the concourse like Google does on streets. This is a video that matches my memories; it's only worth viewing if you're like me and enjoy the memories of a place you know well. My (then) two year old son would play around the globe fountain, he loved the water. That fountain looks stark and minimalist because that plaza between the two buildings really d...

Most Dangerous Jobs in the World
2009-09-01 19:41:00 Most Dangerous Jobs in the WorldWho do you think has the most dangerous job in the world? Could it be the window washer, who dangles dozens of stories above the concrete? Perhaps it's the circus lion tamer, who regularly sticks his head in the mouths of roaring animals. Or maybe the people who perform wild stunts for action-packed movies.While these are perilous jobs, statistically speaking, they're not the most dangerous. According to 2006 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), construction workers, miners, and pilots actually have some of the riskiest jobs. In addition, it's worth noting that the BLS statistics do not include military fatalities that happen overseas, which means that the majority of soldiers' deaths are not included in these numbers.

The Trouble with the World
2009-08-12 06:14:00 The topic being discussed currently in various Baha’i forums is a speech given by Peter Khan, on July 3rd 2009 titled “Reflections on the Ridvan Message”. You can read the complete speech here. There isn’t much remarkable about it but if you manage to hack through the thick underbrush of verbiage you’ll find that almost at the end Khan says: The solution is childish simple; the solution is so simple, it [sic] hardly worth mentioning. The solution is no more and no less than unreserved acceptance of whatever the central authority of the Cause, in this case the Universal House of Justice decrees. Unfortunately Khan doesn’t explain what he really means by ‘decrees’. Does that mean anything the House decides? every word they write? every answer they give to a questioner? every letter of guidance to members or national administrative bodies? or does it mean what they decree as in their legislative authority within Baha’i administrat... |
