Whitewater Kayaks by Jakob Jelling Whitewater kayaking is an extreme form of kayaking. Whitewater kayaking is kayaking taken to an extreme. This is basically the combination of whitewater rafting, except that you are in a kayak instead of a raft.

Whitewater kayaking is definitely not for the faint of heart, as it generally involves some of the roughest rivers around. People who go whitewater kayaking should have a lo ... Stag Party Ideas by Marco Walker Way, way, way back in history the stag party was celebrated in all sorts of ways, and you thought it was a modern day invention, shame on you. The Vikings stag party would consist of flagons of ale, pillaging, buxom wenches and fighting, well they did think they would only go to heaven if they died in a fight. Poor Henry VIII, he had more stag parties then a busy working girl in Amsterdam. Do you think he chopped the heads off his wives because he was addicted to stag parties ?? Wow, we are wr ... Flatwater Kayaks by Jakob Jelling Flatwater kayaking is easier and better to learn than any other type of kayaking. Flatwater kayaking is the type of kayaking that you should start with if you're new to the activity. Flatwater kayaking can take place on almost any body of water so long as it is is an area that is sheltered form the wind and any major waves.

Stag Night Ideas by George It is believed that the concept of stag parties and the associated celebrations first began in Greece. Whenever any Spartan was to enter into wedlock his friends used that opportunity to celebrate the start of his new innings. There were nightlong celebrations that consisted of songs, dances and sumptuous feasts. Today, too this tradition continues. Both would be grooms and brides like to celebrate the start of their new innings with style. In modern language these parties and celebrations are r ... AFC Road to the SuperBowl by Gary Whittaker AFC Conference match-ups Indianapolis Colts vs New England Patriats Payton Manning has had a career year, in the much publicized breakinf of Dan Marino's single season TD record. While that stat is impressive, it is not a surprise. Everyone already know that the Big 3 of Manning, Harrings and James brought back memories of Aikman, Irving and Smith. But the Colts are not the Cowboy's. America's team had defence. The Colt's have more offense, with 3 of their receivers topping 1000 yards this seaso ... NFC Road to the SuperBowl by Gary Whittaker NFC Conference St-Louis Rams vs Atlanta Falcons Can Michael Vick add more muscle to his reputation and lead the Falcons to a playoff victory? Will the patchwork Offensive Line for the Rams succumb to a tough defensive line, led Patrick Kerney's 13 sacks? Since the Falcons rely heavily on the run game, can their defensive keep the score low enough to pull out the win? We think so. Look for Vick's Falcon's to win in a close game against the Rams. Minnesota Vikings vs Philadelphia Eagles The Ea ...

Sports View for January by Leigh Douglas As the NFL playoffs approach, we look back at our pre-season Super Bowl prediction. I think I’ll stick with Minnesota vs New England. (I wouldn’t bet the farm on it, but it’s as good a bet as any other two teams.) Now that Terell Owens has gone down, and the Eagles are apparently going to be overprotective of the rest of their starters; everyone is jumping off the Eagles bandwagon. Do not underestimate this team. Without Owens this is essentially the same offense that has gone to 3 straight NFC ...

It seems that Vince Carter has admitting to...are you ready...not playing hard all the time with the Raptors. Hello? You still there? Yes folks, it's true. The sky is blue, what goes up must come down, and Vince Carter not only had no heart, but now has no pride to go along with it. He does have joy, for as long as that lasts! Another true saying is what goes around, comes around. Vince moaned about lack of media support when he was ... The Animal Rights Summit by David Leonhardt Is it just me, or is society becoming increasingly polarized? It seems like for every action there is an equaller and oppositer reaction. For and against war. For or against the environment. For or against the family. Consider the role animals play in society. No, I am not referring to politicians, TV producers or Janet Jackson. I mean animals like rabbits and mice and bears. Some people will even lay down their lives for animals, protesting against the use of animals in laboratory experiments. ... Pedro, Beltran, and the Mets as seen by one true Yankee Fan: by Aron Wallad / Cheryl Wallad It’s the middle of the NFL playoffs, and what has grabbed the interest of many sports fans has been the off-season maneuvering and acquisitions of the Mets and Yankees. In the past, the sports media has hyped baseball trades, the big money contracts, and the long time rivalries which make the off-season so interesting, but never as intensely as this year in NY. First, Pedro Martinez, then, Carlos Beltran going to the Mets has splashed the team front and center in our sports world consciousness. ...

Soccer The War Game! —Looking Back To Its Origin by Ray Smith Believe it or not, but the modern day soccer owes its origin to the barbarous war mongering nature of human beings. There is no proper documentation that can state the date and place of origination of the most popular modern day sport—Soccer.

Why Do Magicians Wear Tuxes? by J.L. Siefers This wonderful question has rarely bothered magicians for decades. It should. Some possible answers might include: He is getting married today. He just got off work as a waiter. He is going to the prom. Wait! The man is about to do magic. Surely anyone doing great magic wears a tux. It logically follows that a person dressed in attire not worn generally by the public in nearly sixty years must be a well trained and entertaining artist.

If you're a novice rider, a bucking horse can almost force you to give up the owning a horse dream. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Preventing bucking begins when the horse is a colt. One must go to every extent in his training so he won't be inclined to buck - a ... A Winning Lottery Number Selection Strategy by Kent Clarke The problem with selecting lottery numbers is the fact that any regulated lottery result is by definition random, and so any 6 number selections are as likely as any other, no matter what numbers came out last week or the week before.

This strange piece of advice is actually entirely logical, because with a bit of straightforward planning, you can ensure that should any of you ...

Three Main Trout Senses by Brett Fogle An angler should therefore become familiar with the three main senses a trout uses. These are: Smell: Trout have amazing powers of smell. For humans, trying to understand smell underwater is rather difficult since we can’t do it.
