I live near a beautiful park and, every day, I see groups of people enjoying themselves with what has become a favorite recreation here in my neighborhood -- the frisbee.

These frisbees are designed to fly aerodynamically when someone throws them in the air with rotation and they can be caught by hand. Playing with a frisbee is like playing catch with a rubber ball, although frisbees are much more...

The first thing I noticed was that my legs hurt and my lower back was screaming.

I had a friend in college whose life's goal was to move to France, don a beret, stomp on grapes, and make wine for a living. Though I tried to tell her that there was more to wine-making than purple feet, and that berets were so "Clinton Administration," she ignored me and dreamt of grapes anyway. Though I did not share her winemaking aspirations and decided instead to dream of something much more realistic, like a marriage proposal from Brad Pitt, she did get me thinking about the process, and she got me thirsty for knowledge. This eventually led me to discover different types of wine require different recipes, with one of the most complex belonging to Port. Prior to actually reading about...

Two weeks ago, a friend of mine called me to inform me that it was about time we should meet, since apart from our weeks, also our weekends have been rather busy and we did not have the chance of meeting and spending some time together and have fun. Unfortunately, although I accepted his invitation to go to a beach volley match and play with his team, the weather destroyed our plans as it was pouring rain all weekend and then we both were working during the weeks that followed. As you can probably understand, our appointment got postponed to indefinite and we were left blaming the weather and our luck. But two weekends have since then gone by and I cannot help but wonder why our original plans to go...

In grammar school, about the only subject I dreaded was gym. I went to school in the days when all little girls wore dresses. For gym class, we slipped on some shorts and changed our shoes to the PF Flyers we kept in a cubby-hole. Then it was off to the gym for some dreaded activity: Dodge ball, chin-ups, or that awful rope I could never quite climb. "Is this all there is to sports?" I wondered. Finally, during a dodge ball game in 4th grade, I figured out that the sooner I got hit, the sooner I could get out of that war zone called a game.By the end of grammar school, I thought I was just not an athlete. Junior high wasn't much better. Besides the ugly gymsuits we had to...

Table Tennis - A Brief History
In spite of the fact that there are actually table tennis tournaments all over the world, especially in China where table tennis is a major sport, the game itself isn't really taken seriously by many people. We could debate on the why of this until our sun goes nova but we'll leave that debate for another time.Table tennis, or what we affectionately refer to as "ping pong", began as a mild diversion. It was viewed with the same lack of seriousness as lawn tennis and badminton. It became popular in England in the late 19th century. It was known under its present name of table tennis and ping pong as well as gossima and whiff-whaff. The name ping pong was introduced by J. Jaques and Sons. The...

If you spend much time on the Internet, you've heard all about niches and niche marketing. The idea behind niche marketing is to narrow your focus so that you find a very specific, albeit limited, audience. If you want to write about sports, that isn't a niche. Tennis isn't a niche.
