Dreaming about Tibet Bikung?
No land has captured man’s imagination for its remoteness & almost mystical aura as Tibet, If you are looking for the ways to get on the roof of the world check http://www.uniquetrails.com/ please for Captivated by Tibet’s mystic charm & ruggedness great explorers & adventurers of the century have ventured into this holy land rendered inaccessible by the hostile natural conditions & bandits that waylaid them through the Himalayas.

Tibet houses four out of fourteen highest mountains in the world exceeding 8000m. This vast land is also the cradle of great rivers like the Yangtze, Mekong, Yarlong Tsangpo (Brahmaputra), Indus, and Ganges. Tibet also offers awe-inspiring scenery of heavenly lakes and valleys.

Despite untold ravages brought about during the Cultural Revolution, Tibet’s past grandeur, majesty, magic & mystery still remains undiminished. One can still see nomads herding their yaks, pilgrims worshipping at sacred shrines & the expansive, striking & enduring Himalayan topography. Tibet is truly an `adventurers’ paradise’. Tibet borders with India, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Burma in south and is bounded by Kashmir on the west.

As the most important cities of Tibet, Lhasa, Gyantse and Shigatse feature most of the religious monuments including the Potala, the Jokhang Temple, Tashilunpo Monastery and Kumbum.

 

Several Myths About Diving.

Myth: There are sharks in the ocean and they eat divers. Don’t try to deny it–I saw jaws and open water
Truth: Don’t tell Hollywood, but the factual record on shark vs. diver is pretty dull: Sharks just don’t make a habit of munching on divers. In fact, except in certain conditions and environments, they don’t even stick around when divers get in the water.

Myth: I have to buy a ton of gear just to learn
Truth: This is a gear-intensive sport, but you only need three basic items to start lessons–a mask, a snorkel and a pair of fins. These are personal gear items and they need to fit well for you to have a good time, so it’s worth buying them even if the shop provides loaners.

Myth: You have to be a speed-sporting competitive swimmer to be a diver

Truth: Sure, ultra-fit, competitive swimmers make great divers because they’re comfortable in the water and they’re in great shape, but if the logic of this myth were true, only Tour de France racers would ride bikes.

Myth: Diving is a macho sport that is not female-friendly
Truth: This might have been true, back in the 1950s Sea Hunt era when men of steel like Mike Nelson (played by the late, great Lloyd Bridges) were out there spearing fish with their bare hands and rescuing damsels in distress. Only it wasn’t really true then, either. The lovely Zale Parry, the actress who played the damsel, was one of the most accomplished divers on the set.

Myth: Diving will make my ears hurt
Truth: This one’s true–but only if you don’t equalize the pressure in your ears as you descend.

Myth: Certification is way too expensive
Truth: You don’t get out much, do you? Check the price for a decent dinner, movie tickets for two, throw in some popcorn, after-movie coffees and you’ll drop $100–easily–assuming, of course, there was no drive-through involved in ordering dinner. So, how does that compare to scuba?
Myth: Snorkeling is just as good as scuba diving
Truth: Don’t get me wrong. Floating around on the surface peering down on the reef from above is a great way to spend time between dives. But just as good? No way! Not if you like action.

 

Acie Law

Acie Law started to attend Kimball High School and soon he was chosen the freshman of the year. Law scored 35 points in the Texas State High School All-Star Game, leading his team to a victory. However, after an excellent season Kimball High School lost the state championships game because the opposing team scored from the distance just as the buzzer announced the end of the game.

Acie Law IV wanted to stay close to his home so Acie started to study at Texas A&M, despite the fact that he had been also admitted by Tech, University of Connecticut, University of Texas at Austin, University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University.
Acie’s College Career Highs:
Points: 35 – 1/11/06 vs Oklahoma State
Rebounds: 9 – 3/4/06 vs. Texas Tech
Assists: 15 – 2/5/07 vs. Texas
Steals: 7 – 1/11/06 vs. Oklahoma State
Blocks: 1 – 1/14/06 vs. Oklahoma
3-Point FG: – 4 1/18/06 vs. Kansas State

 

Golf promo items

Golf promotional items are making a huge comeback these past few weeks, because the season is teeing off. We’ve been receiving tons of orders for all possible golf giveaways from balls to golf pocket tools to towels. That’s expected, really, considering the statistics.

Just how big is golf? About 50 people million worldwide play it, and 23 million of them come from the United States alone (where there are also more than 11,000 professional golf players). In fact, studies show that some 83 percent of business deals are closed on a golf course.

Anybody who is anybody in the business world plays golf – from the top honchos to the middle managers. Get their attention –and loyalty – by giving them golf promotional products carrying your logo.

Play it safe with basic golf balls and tees, or steer past the common and give golf carry kits, sets, and totes (complete with sun block), or even golf tags.

 

Scuba Diving Below the Eiffel Tower

I’ve read today in Yahoo news something interesting. The point is that ?ne scuba instructors began offering free lessons Friday — with wet-suits, scuba gear and even a biodegradable towel — at the foot of the Paris’s famed landmark. “Through the water you can see the monument. It’s magnificent,” said New Zealand tourist Adrian Carter, one of the first to try it.

“The above-ground pool is under the Tower, between its four legs. It’s small, at 50 feet by 50 feet, about half the size of a basketball court. Just 4 feet deep, it’s safe for beginners and children aged 8 and older, said the event’s organizers, an umbrella group of scuba associations. To add a touch of realism, the bottom of the pool is studded with waterproof photos of fluorescent fish.”
It’s cool, I’d like to.
