Good sports come out of sports camp
Imagine this situation: it is the end of June, the grass is green, the sun is shining and you can actually go outside without the fear of getting frostbite or sweating like a snowman in the Caribbean.
But then you realize your kids are moping around, stuffing their faces, playing video games and happy not to have to worry about homework for the next two months.
However, there is a way to prevent your kids from becoming miniature couch potatoes. In a word: camp.
There are several types of camps available throughout Toronto and surrounding areas, and all have many advantages.
Whether they are enrolled in an arts, academic or general camp, your kids will learn valuable lessons and will keep their minds sharp for the start of school in September.
EPT Grand Finale – Gavin Griffin Leads Into The Final Table
With a short stack, Elmaliah moved all in pre-flop with A-10. Black called with A-6 and his hand failed to improve. Black's bleeding continued when he lost a coin flip and doubled up Marc Karam. Both players were all in pre-flop as Karam's J-J held up against Black's Big Slick. Carlos Mortensen went to work and took some chips off of Antony Lellouche as he snatched away the chiplead from Black. Erik Van der Berg (Holland) also bullied Lellouche as he doubled through the Frenchman. Van der Berg jumped out to the chiplead as he passed the 1 million chip mark and raced past Mortensen. Black's bleeding finally stopped when he was down to less then 300K. He doubled through Alex Kim with A-10. Black's trip aces prevented him from elimination and that hand seemed to breathe life into his lackluster game.
Truth B Told 4.12.07: It’s Still Real To ME Damn It!!
Now that Hulkamania is over and kayfabe is dead, one has to ask whether or not we still want to live the fantasy or keep it real.
When you were a kid, Hulk Hogan was a superhero who flew in to flex his massive muscles, pose for the crowd, beat up the bad guy, then fly out to another city to do it all over again next week. That was enough to keep you happy and you were more than satisfied to accept that reality. It was indisputable that the power of a big boot and a might leg drop could vanquish any foe and the orange muscleman in the yellow and red, with your help and support could beat any one, any time, anywhere. Now, there is a new muscleman, though less orange, he sports a pair of camouflage shorts, supports the troops, and stands for everything good and wholesome. He still fights for truth, justice, and everything that is American, but instead of being a "thug" he is now a "Marine".
Fishing surpasses basketball as No. 1 for eye injuries
Tuskegee student Ralph Squire had forked out five bucks for the fishing lure that very morning. When the crankbait became entangled in a bush while he fished later that day, it was only natural that he wanted it back. That decision will haunt him forever. "I had just bought the lure at the Wal-Mart at Auburn and right off the bat I threw it up in a bush," the Texas native remembers of the incident last May. "I kept pulling on it with the fishing line, trying to pull it loose from the bush." The lure eventually came loose and struck Squire in the face. When several of his friends rushed to his side to see if he was OK, they made a gruesome discovery. A treble hook from the lure was buried deep in Squire's right eyeball. Squire became another of an ever-growing number of anglers who have suffered catastrophic eye injuries from fishing lures, according to Birmingham surgeons Dr.
