Should sled-dog racing or snowmobile be added to the winter Olympics?


While snow mobile racing or snow mobile freestyle was never in the Olympics sled dog racing-demonstration sport- was along with some other unusual sports.

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/news;_ylt=AvT03yJJgxjev2FMrkwhp9l9sbV_?slug=ys-forbesoddoly020410&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

St.Moritz 1928 the demonstration sport of Skijoring was competed in.

http://www.forbes.com/2010/01/28/olympics-demonstration-sports-lifestyle-sports-strangest-vancouver_slide_10.html

Sled Dog Racing is a sort of 50/50 sport (in other words, who's doing the most work, the dogs or the pilot), snowmobile racing could be introduced but only if motocross was introduced to a Summer Games.

3 Extreme Sports HD Camcorders for 2010

Camcorder reviews usually focus on HD camcorders for every day use, but with the summer almost upon us, I thought the outdoor activities and extreme sports enthusiasts would appreciate some attention.

The extreme sports guys using a head cam, dash cam or helmet cam to record the action in high definition have 3 great options, the Oregon Scientific ATC 3K, GoPro Helmetcam and the VholdR ContourHD action cam.

Oregon Scientific ATC 3K
This Waterproof helmet cam for extreme sports has a 48 degree wide angle, 32 Mb of internal memory which can be expanded to 4GB with an SD/HC card, and a 3 button operation for easy use as a head cam or dash cam.

Mounting straps for use as a helmet camera or dash cam in all outdoor activities and extreme sports is included, as well as a stand for use as a webcam.  

GoPro Helmetcam
This helmet cam is claimed to be the worlds highest performance on-board Professional-grade HD video and stills head cam for extreme sports outdoor activities, recording at 60 frames a second.

With a quick-release mounting design, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery unit lasting up to 2.5 hours on a single charge, and capacity to take a 32GB card.

Shoot stills too with this helmet camera or dash cam automatically at 5 MP resolution with selectable intervals.

VholdR ContourHD action cam
This action cam for outdoor activities and extreme sports records in full 1081p high definition at 30fps or 60 fps on microSD memory cards.
A 2GB card is included, with the option of adding up to 16GB of extra flash memory for up to 8 hours of recording time.

The ContourHD head cam or dash cam lens is fixed focus, a built-in mike records the sounds, and an easy one touch switch starts or stops the recording.

So there you have it, camcorder reviews for 3 Head cam or Dash cam HD  Camcorders which will attach to any motorcycle, car, ATV, jet ski, snowmobile or boat, or use when sailing, swimming or doing snow sports.

About the Author

Art Speck is an experienced videographer having worked for 30 years in the business.

Being retired now gives me time to enjoy my passion for video cameras and in particular high definition camcorders.

The year 2010 is digital HD Camcorder year, with every major manufacturer bringing out new, low cost HD camcorders with an enormous amount of new technology which lots of folk do not understand, so I have decided to write lots of articles like this one to explain the choices between features, brands and formats.

Roughly how much caffeine (in mgs) is in one black tea bag, steeped in a cup, and reused multiple times?


I'm trying to cut down on caffeine by cutting out the coffee this week. Cold turkey almost killed me (hah). Instead of my two cups of coffee a day, I'm using one Earl Grey Twinings Black tea bag and filling it with hot water from my water machine throughout the day. I reuse the tea bag; the tea gets weaker with each refill but is still tasty. I want to know if the 40-110 mg. black tea bag caffeine average holds for this method, or if, as I read somewhere else (and am thoroughly confused by), it's the same as steeping in a tea pot, giving you 40 mg. PER CUP.

You are right, the tea will be weaker and weaker the more you use it, and the amount of caffeine will get less and less.

If you want to even out the amount of caffeine you could make the tea in a pot and make it really strong. During the day use a small amount of the tea and top your cup up with boiling water, this way the amount of caffeine will be the same all day long.

Buying Cheap Gucci Bag and the Real Gucci Handbags!

Looking for cheap Gucci bag, without being duped? Is a cheap Gucci bag real or fake? Most handbags which are sold very cheap are either sold at a discounted price or a replica. Women, who collect Gucci handbags, opt to buy the authentic handbag at a discounted price. They are not duped, they are just being wise.

 

Before buying cheap Gucci bag, you have to know some details before giving in your cash or credit card payment. First, check if the site is reliable. Better, buy one cheap Gucci bag, before buying several pieces. The site has to be authentic, so you won’t loose money along the way.

 

Second, navigate for style! Fashion is timely, style is timeless. The key here is buying cheap Gucci bag suited for your fashion style. Are you the dramatic type? Usually these types are tall and thin, the type of Zeta Jones and Angelina Jolie. They have angular features, they even walk dramatically! Gucci handbags have styles for classic women; consider the Gucci handbag made famous by Jackie O? She has always been a dramatic beauty. The second type is the sporty natural type, hobos are usually for this group, since they love going out and are usually gregarious. This type of style usually goes for Gucci handbags that are trendy and sporty type, like Gucci messenger bags and Gucci hobos in different colours and sizes. Depending on the body type, if you are slim but sporty, you tend to choose Gucci handbags with long straps which really look cheek and trendy. The third type of style is romantic, these women opt to buy a Gucci Indy bag, and it has a slant of exotic and western taste, unique only to the romantic styles. The fourth type is the ingénue; these ladies are usually young or youthful. They are very feminine and dainty. They opt for Gucci Romy Leather Hobo, and the last but not the least is the classic type, typical of Julie Andrews, a classic beauty, Gucci handbags also have special style for classic types, consider a Gucci Queen White Hobo.

 

Third after identifying your style, look for your natural skin colour tones, you can be a winter, summer, autumn or spring. Winter colours are great at Gucci handbags with pure white, true blue, and navy blue, grey beige, black, charcoal grey, medium grey or medium true grey. Winter ladies are usually characterized as blue eyes, brown eyes, dark grey rims, she looks great in auburn hair too, but usually its light brown, and looks great with their white hair when they mature. Summer colours usually have ash brown hair, but they really look fair and pretty! Some summer colour ladies change their eye colour depending on what they are wearing, so a Gucci handbag colored soft white, rose beige, cocoa, rose brown, light blue grey, light lemon yellow (a Gucci Crocodile Hobo is flattering for her) can really make heads turn! Autumn ladies are usually warm hearted people, some autumns have ivory or peach skin tones, but usually they have brown blonde or golden brown hair, Gucci bags colored dark chocolate brown hobos or medium warm bronze are flattering for autumn ladies.

 

 

Once you have already identified your colour, your style, it is good to look at the sites once more and check the different colours and designs available for your wardrobe. Some ladies make a good buy when they buy cheap Gucci bag in bulk to complete the wardrobe, especially those busy ones who balances work and home, or students who wants to be fashionable and stylish. Saving up for these timeless pieces and buying Gucci handbags are worth it.

Is this mysterious or possible?


I was at Yellowknife, Canada.
It was about February 1st or so, in 2005.

I went outside at 3 in the morning, 1st story balcony in exposure to wind.
I was wearing a pair of shoes, some pants, under pants, and a short sleeved T-shirt with a pair of gloves on.

I would be outside for 15 minutes at least.

The windchill according to 'The Weather Network' was -51*C which is just under -60*F.

My body temperature failed to fall at all according to my thermometer.

I had no hat on and no ear muffs etc.

Not even my ears were too cold.

How is that possible, am I an Arctic God?
How can this be proved?

CREED

you have just proven that you are a blibbering idiot

Hard Hat 3: Arctic Man

A Short Guide to Join Royal Marines

The Royal Marines are the part of the British Armed Forces. Marine crops and amphibious infantry of the United Kingdom are called as Royal Marines along with Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Royal navy from Naval Service. They are specialized in Arctic warfare and mountain warfare. They can quickly deploy and fight in any terrain in the world. They are highly trained, capable of operating independently and they are a core component of the country's Rapid Deployment Force.

The longest basic modern infantry training programmed of any NATO combat troops is recruited by Royal Marines. Royal Marines recruit training the potential recruit must attend a Potential Royal Marine Course (PRMC) or Potential Officer Course (POC) held at CTCRM. PRMC lasts three days and assesses physical ability and intellectual capacity to undertake the recruit training. Through Admiralty Interview Board, all the Officer candidates must take.

Marine's duties on shore were not restricted to amphibious warfare. They could be landed as guards in a friendly port or to keep seamen from desertion. In amphibious warfare these marines have their importance. Co-operations between the army and the navy often led to disputes of authority, the marines are clearly under naval discipline and more hence effective. The smart uniformed appearance was also used to impress enemies and allies.

Uniforms in general followed those of the army. Following the granting of "Royal" status in 1802 the whole marine uniform was updated. The new uniforms were ' by the King's express command, the pattern of the First regiment of Foot Guards'. Sergeants were distinguished by knots on their right shoulders and lace trimmings of their jackets and hats. Corporals had only the knot. The rank and file marine wore two leather pipe clayed cross belts with a plate bearing the Marines badge joining them together.

Usually the recruitment of marines is carried out the army, as they were essentially landmen they could not be "impressed" like seamen. Posters were printed and stuck up in market places, and recruiting sergeants roamed the area trying to recruit young men with tales of action and adventure. Persuasion was not enough and in wartime a substantial bounty was offered which by 1801 had reached 26 per man. Despite this the rapid expansion of the navy caused a crisis as recruitment of marines did not match impressments of sailors. Some soldiers from the army were consequently used at sea and to overcome line of command problems many were offered bounties to transfer to the marines full time. The marines continued to expand throughout the Napoleonic Wars so that by 1805 some 30,000 marines had been voted by parliament. Marines like soldiers were traditionally recruited for life however during the 1790 there some attempt was made to recruit for the "duration" instead.
