University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow won U.S. college football's highest honour recently. If his mother had followed her doctor's advice when she was carrying him, he would be just another abortion statistic.
Tim's parents, Bob and Pam Tebow, moved to the Philippines in 1985 to conduct a Christian missionary outreach. While pregnant with Tim, Pam contracted amoebic dysentery through contaminated drinking water. Her doctor told her that the medications she needed to recover would result in irreversible damage to the child she was carrying. She was advised to have an abortion.
She refused.

A guy named Jean-Yves Blondeau invented a 31 wheeled rollerblading suit which is like rollerblading and street luge. It allows the person to rollerblade no matter what position they are in.
Now I ran into this contraption while on my 8 day cruise in the eastern Carribean. While it turns out this suit is several years old I'm excited now...I want one! Although, I'd also have to take a vacation outside of Florida to anywhere with hills. That suit would be kinda useless down here.

Hello everyone and yes the title is correct! I, The Alpha Jan, is doing a review on an exercise program. Now some of you might now I am a junkie when it comes to health. GNC is my toystore when usually for most guys, their toystore is either Best Buy or Home Depot. I feel at home surrounded by workout supplements, protein powders, health pills, and shaker cups. Nevertheless, I am on a voyage to get back to being thin and tonned again like I used to be when I was a lot younger. Nevertheless, I am well on my way. So far, I lost over thirty pounds but seriously though. I don't mind not losing weight if it was being turned into muscle mass. Big difference between just losing weight and gaining health you know.
So what is P90X exactly? P90X is actually shorthand or probably an acronym for Power 90 Extreme. This is a 90 day workout system that should show results every thirty days for ninety days. The science in P90X is called "muscle confusion". When working out, most people see results then they see absolutely nothing. This is called the plateau effect and it happens when your body gets used to workouts. P90X remedies this effect by changing the exercises every thirty days thus introducing your body to new moves and sometimes harder workouts thus the results come in and they come in fast. If you just bring it to your best which is what the "X" stands for because the "X" is actually a variable different for each person, then you will see results.

My first experience with artificial rock climbing was at a Navy Seals training ground in Germany. I was 11 at the time and I had to get special permission to join a group mostly composed of high-schoolers. I think they kind of viewed me as their cute little mascot or something...

White on Liddell’s future: ‘He’s done’
MONTREAL – When Chuck Liddell, the biggest star in Ultimate Fighting Championship history, left the Bell Centre cage on Saturday night, the reaction was no different than many of his greatest wins. He got a lengthy standing ovation from a sold-out arena.
“We had a two-hour meeting in Las Vegas,” White said about the agreement the two made shortly after Liddell’s loss to Rashad Evans on Sept. 6 in Atlanta. “I wanted him to retire, but he wanted one more shot. I made a series of guidelines. He had to train hard. He had to change up his training. He had to stay out of the night clubs. He did all that. He came here in great shape and went out like the stud that he is. If he had won a decision, this still would have been it. Anything less than an impressive win was going to be it. Yeah, we can still make money with him, but that’s not what it’s about here.”
The news reporter missed the point. Boxing is infamous for forcing fighters into fights the contestant is unprepared for.

Hazel Warp {married name of Hazel Hash} is the person who got me started in extreme sports. Hazel Warp is Hazel Hash in the credits of Gone With the Wind. Hazel Warp did stunts for Vivian Leigh. It was the scene where Scarlett fell down the stairs that got me hooked on "daredevils" as my parents called stunt men. I was amazed at the distance Hazel Warp fell down those stairs and knew there had to be some trick to it. I asked questions and got everything I could read about stunts. Eventually I learned how to fall down stairs and practiced regularly in our two story house when mom was not home. Hazel Hash changed my life!

What is the difference between Dar Robinson and Jackass??
Evel Knievel was a successful stunt man and I believe some of his wipe-outs were caused by sabotage. I saw the shark pit jump live on TV. It looked like he hit wax on the ramp and slipped. When I told my dad who was watching with me he said "No one would make him crash." I still believe someone did! This is the world of extreme sports enthusiasts. Our eyes are different from others; we're often called insane for doing the things we have planned and practiced even when we are successful. We are usually only shown in the news when we wipe-out; but we are successful where no one else goes, we survive wrecks in which others would die.
I saw some snowboarders discussing what they do when they set-off an avalanche. They have techniques that allow them to set-off and survive, sometimes still snowboard in an avalanche! That knowledge would save lives if ski instructors would teach it. That is what society gains from Extreme Sports Enthusiasts. You must respect men who wipeout pushing the limits but Where is the line between intelligent risk and stupidity?
