Winter Safety in the Mountains.
by: M. Elliott
Snow-topped mountains look beautiful but they can be death-traps for the unprepared hiker or hill walker. Sadly, every year, people die and are badly injured whilst exploring these regions at this time of year.
Harsh weather conditions, bad visibility and shorter daylight hours can all conspire to catch-out the unwary. The consequences can be extremely serious.
Good preparation and a sensible attitude are essential for keeping yourself safe. Here are a few tips that could help save your life.
1) Check the weather report: Take time to listen to the radio or TV report for the area you are intending to visit. A number of websites and phone (read full article) |

Golf Workouts Can Quickly Add Yards To Your Drives
by: Mike Pedersen
I’m sure by now you’ve heard most of the professional players; both men and women actively participate in golf workouts. It’s no secret. But why then do most amateur golfers ignore this? Is it because it seems like work? Or, does the thought of actually breaking a sweat get you tired already?
Either way…the proof is in the bag. The number one player in the world, Vijay Singh, does his golf workouts all the way through Sunday of each tournament. Does it look like it’s hurting his game? I don’t think so. Back in 1997, a young, very athletic golfer came on the professional scene and blew everyone away. I thi (read full article) |

Finding Fun Things To Do On A Date
by: Alan Detwiler
Need an idea for what to do on a date? Here's how to go about finding ideas for new and unusual dates that are enjoyable and memorable.
The three most usual choices for what to do on a date are dinner, a movie, and a public event such as a sports game or concert. Those activities often give the couple several hours of time to enjoy each other's company. But relying on those same activities too often, leads to a loss of the sense of drama and importance of the time spent together.
Human nature craves the out-of-the-ordinary. A new experience raises awareness and often contributes greatly to our ability to enjoy ourselves. If a coupl (read full article) |

How To Choose The Right Scuba Fins
by: Laura Cain
When it comes to investing in your own pair of scuba fins, you have a plethora of choices from a number of manufacturers who continue to advance the engineering they use to produce the most durable, efficient fins possible. While the original, traditional full foot scuba fins are still popular among some people, there are many more styles available now. Most of the new styles of scuba fins are designed by using technical and involved mathematical angles and engineering so that the fin works to the divers advantage as far as efficiency and ease of use.

Improve Your Tennis in One-Fifth of A Second!
by: Steve Smith
How would you like to start playing vastly better tennis ... today?
There's a particular “magic” moment in tennis—one that lasts a mere fifth of a second. If you have (or can develop) the discipline to fully exploit that moment, you may astonish yourself and your opponents with your new-found scoring ability.
The moment I'm talking about is the last 1/5th of a second before your racquet strikes the ball. The discipline I'm referring to is that of keeping your eye entirely on the ball for that super-critical moment.
We've all been told many times that we should keep our eye on the ball in tennis. But how many of us r (read full article) |

“A good diet can not make an average athlete great, but a poor diet can make a great athlete average.”
-David Costill, Ball State University, Indiana
Golf is a lifetime sport that both men and women of all ages enjoy participating in. However, for the competitive golfer, it is a test of the athlete’s physical and mental endurance. While equipment and physical fitness are important to the game, a balanced diet is often the most overlooked aspect that all serious golfers must consider.
DEFINING A BALANCED DIET
For golfers, a balanced diet begins with eating at least 50% of your total caloric intake from carbo (read full article) |

Breeding Crayfish
by: William Berg
In the text below I shall try to give a short overview of some of the basics when breeding crayfish. Particular species may have other behaviours and demands. It should be said that my main experience as an aquarist is with relation to fish, but I shall try to convey what little knowledge I have.
Sexing Crayfish
Sexing crayfish isn't always easy. The genital openings are located in different places on the body depending on whether it's a male or a female. Males have their genital openings behind/under their posterior pair of legs. Females have their genital openings under the third pair of legs counted from the posterior. However, many individual (read full article) |

I would like to say a few words about one of the bigger surprises I've had as an aquarist. A few years ago I was cleaning out a 50 gallon holding tank in which I kept fishes that were going to a new aquarium when the new aquarium was ready. I also used it for keeping fish I didn't know what else to do with. At this time this aquarium was home to twelve blue disc (read full article) |

Fly Ball Fan Runs Afoul of Cubs' Alou In Left Field
by: C.S. Deam
How can a fan go from ecstasy to sheer agony in a split second?
It's not just when your Cubs give up 8 runs in the eighth inning to give the Florida Marlins an 8-3 lead - it's when you're the one that silences a roaring crowd and opens the door for a Marlins comeback.
Can you imagine how The Fan felt as the ball was coming his way? Here were his historic Cubbies, knocking on the door of their first pennant in years. They were up three runs to none in the 8th and the fans at Wrigley field were whipped into an ecstatic frenzy by the prospect that their team - their Chicago Cubs were five outs away from the 2003 World S (read full article) |

Learning How to Sail
by: Kerry S. Mason
When it comes to sailing, there are all kinds of things to learn how to do. How you go about learning will depend on your particular style. For example, I am not patient enough to take classes, and have always relied more on the written word and on-the-water trial and error than on more formal modes of instruction. Here are examples of ways you can acquire the skills you feel you need:
Take courses.
Community colleges, marine chandleries, Coast Guard Auxiliary, boat shows, and a number of other enterprises offer seminars, workshops, and courses on a variety of topics related to cruising. If you learn best in a classroom or group environment, (read full article) |
