CarromCarrom Paul Carrom is a board game played by 2 or 4 players against each other. The principles of carrom are very similar to pool, snooker or billiards without the cues. The objective of carrom is to pot all your carrom pieces before your opponent, using skill, determination and a little bit of luck. Carrom itself in various forms originates from Asia and carrom is played all over the world. This game has many names including Indian billiards, carrum, carom, karum, or karrum.

Carrom is becoming more and more popular and there are now carrom competitions and carrom tournaments with Big Cash Prizes and carrom clubs where you can meet other players and socialise.

A team that won its final game would hold the first tiebreaker advantage against a team theyre tied with that lost its final game. If they both lost, both won, or both tied their final game, then the current tiebreakers would take effect in the order that they currently exist. That would accomplish at least three of positive things. The Wet Fly Swing The wet fly swing sounds like something one does at the square dance hall.

Excellence then, is not an act but a habit.-Aristotle- Golf in the Wild Costa Rica is a fantasy land for nature lovers -- and golfers, too Fly Fishing for Largemouth Bass Like all bass fishing, bass fly fishing has exploded in popularity.

There are still ultra purists who consider casting dry mayfly patterns upstream to rising trout the ONLY form of fly fishing. I wasn’t brought up that way and find that way of thinking too limiting. For one thing it would severely limit my time on the water, and would force me to get rid of about three-fourths of my beloved fly fishing gear.

Why I Would Rather Be A Slugger Than A Pitcher During the last NLCS, I asked Brandon Backe of the Astros what the hardest thing was for him in making the conversion from outfielder to pitcher in the minors. He said it was "not playing every day." That is why I would rather be a slugger, to answer your question. Id want my mind and body to be in every inning of every game. I wouldnt want to be one elbow injury away from a possible end of my career or a lost year. I listened to Nolan Ryan talk at the last All-Star FanFest in Houston about how he would have to "rebuild" his body from one start to the next, an incredibly arduous process that the great pitchers know and few fans realize. Ryan would be on the bike immediately after each start, and he said his physical strength would go down to about 50 percent a day or two after each start, and then his mission was to get it back up to 100 percent by the next start. As the slugger you mentioned, Id love to be in that zone of hitting in the cages every day and be able to "slow down" every pitch like Manny Ramirez and Albert Pujols do so incredibly well. |
