I think it makes perfect sense. A-Rod could be the new face of the Giants when Barry leaves. We need to cut away all the old fogeys and get some new blood.

Sri Lankans will be traveling to Australia in November for the two test matches. I have a question and most Sri Lankan people ask this question, why England, Australia and South Africa don’t play 03 or more test match series with Sri Lanka in their home. In the past, Sri Lanka was not good test team. That is true. But now they are very formidable team. Why they still give only two test matches for the world cup semi finalist? Australia has been beaten from Sri Lanka in 2000 in Sri Lanka and they have won so many test series with all the countries. They drew the two series with England and Kiwis last year. For first time England played 3 test matches with Sri Lanka in England and they couldn’t win the series even on their soil. England gave Sri Lanka only 01 test match 1998 and Sri Lanka won it comfortably.

Australia also has given only one practice match for Sri Lanka. Are they fear?

I am at the point where I feel it was a bad idea to return to where I grew up in order to coach. I deal with irrate mothers (haven't seen a dad all season) who do not know the game, yet complain that we are doing things wrong or treating their child unfair.

They disrespect me on the sidelines in front of my kids and family. They contradict our coaching on the field and in practice, sometimes calling their child away while we are speaking to them.

These attitudes leak into their children who feel they don't have to listen. I have had to tell some kids they can only work with the head coach, because they are so unruly.

Ironically, the head coach is only their for his child and does not know the game well, so I became his assistant rather than remove my child from the team. I am the one teaching the girls fundamentals, because the coach can't. Through it all we are undefeated.

Since I'm hands on, all the parent's anger is towards me and I'm at my breaking point.

I am a terrible runner. I have to be able to run seven miles in one-hour for my blackbelt testing in about two months. I can run a mile in about ten minutes, but I have terrible side-aches and I feel like I'm going to puke. Can anyone give me some tips or ideas to help me become a better runner and improve my mile time in preperation for my testing?

I came across this online comparing the AK-47, AR-15 and Mosin Nagant. It's pretty funny, and even more so if you actually own all three.

Me and a kid were mucking round in his yard and i told him to put a apple on top of his head and i would shoot it off.
The arrow has penetrated his sholder entering from the frontal side of his body it went right through and got caught on the vanes of the arrow it only had a field point on it.
The bleeding has stopped and he isnt in much pain i applied a bit of antiseptic solution so it wouldnt get infected.
Will it need medical attention if we remove it or will it heal by itself. He doesnt want his mum and dad to fimd out.

When Ray Durham is hitting cleanup you know you've got problems. I admit their starting rotation has great promise but their lineup is OLD. I mean to rely on Dave Roberts, Durham, and so forth to produce runs that's sad.

Obviously hosting the Olympics puts a lot of money in some people's pockets, but how about the city as a whole? I read somewhere that Montreal spent the rest of the century clearing the debt it had incurred for 1976. If so, how can London avoid this situation? Is London going to avoid it?

Instead of going left, left, left, left.
Why don't they have a track they go right, right, right, right?
How about making right hand turns and driving clockwise in a circle? They always drive counter clockwise on ovals......
Yeah, I like my idea. It would be a big change.
What do you think?

Kendall got traded to the Cubs for Rob Bowen and Jerry Blevins.Its just what alot of the A's fans wanted ,Kendall out + Crosby + Kotsay, but we havent gotten there yet.Personally i thought Jason Kendall didnt really contribute offensively ,and often critisized him ,but now that he's out im kinda sad .Im gonna have to get used to him not seeing his face behind home plate, in back of the hitter.Oh well.

I've been in a traditional noncompetitive art for years. We do forms, ground work and locks.

I've decided that I want to learn muay thai. For like 5 minutes they had us shadow boxing. I've never done anything like that before. I'm used to kata, but not this.

What should I try and focus on? How useful do you think shadow boxing is? What are the pros and cons?
