Some Unrevealed Laws Of Golf Game

2012-05-23T11:27:00.005-07:00

1. Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

2. If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.

3. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.

4.Errors go somewhere. If your driver is hot, your putter is ice cold; if you can hit your irons, you will top your woods; if you keep your right elbow tucked in, your head will come up.

5. The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

6. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.

7. The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors.

8. If it isn’t broke, try changing your grip.

9. Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

10. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents' luck.

11. It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you don't get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat hot dogs and fart if you are performing brain surgery.

12. Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic and, while this cannot be measured scientifically, the more expensive the ball, the greater this water-magnetism.
13. It's not a 'gimme' if you're still away.

14. There are two kinds of bounces; unfair bounces and bounces just the way you meant to play it.

15. Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

16. The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

17. If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.

18. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.
19. When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.

20. Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

21. Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing.

22. To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his back-swing by his handicap; i.e., back-swing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing = 300 mph.

23. There are two things you can learn by stopping your back-swing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.

24. Hazards attract; fairways repel.

25. You can put a draw on the ball, you can put a fade on the ball, but no golfer can put a straight on the ball.

26. A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

27. If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.

28. Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play

29. Sometimes it seems as though your cup moveth over.

30. A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.

31. Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you always end up having to pray a lot.

32. A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than you are...that's why I get so many calls to play with friends.

33. That rake by the sand trap is there for golfers who feel guilty about skipping out on lawn work.

34. If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of your life.

35. Golf balls are like eggs. They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each week.
36. A pro-shop gets its name from the fact that you have to have the income of a professional golfer to buy anything in there.

37. It's amazing how a golfer who never helps out around the house will replace his divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps.

38. If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or worse).

39. You probably wouldn't look good in a green jacket anyway! A sweatshirt will do just fine.

40. A stroke does not occur unless it is observed by more than one golfer.

41. All 3-woods are demon-possessed.

42. An extra ball in the pocket is worth two strokes in the bush.

43. You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time.

44. If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.

45. Every par-three hole in the world has a secret desire to humiliate golfers. The shorter the hole, the greater that desire.

46. Golf balls from the same "sleeve" tend to follow one another, particularly out of bounds or into water.

47. It’s easier to get up at 6 AM to play golf than at 10 AM to mow the yard.

48. The frequency with which balls are lost increases as the available supply decreases.

49. The secret of golf is: use your real swing to take the big divot, use your practice swing to make the shot, and always hit your do-over first.

50. Your best round of golf will be immediately followed by your worst round. The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former.

Top 10 Most Extremely Dangerous And Unusual Places

2012-05-13T09:24:00.009-07:00

Door to Hell – Turkmenistan

This has featured on listverse before, but it would be remiss of us to exclude it from this list. While drilling in Derweze in Turkmenistan in 1971, geologists accidentally found an underground cavern filled with natural gas. The ground beneath the drilling rig collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of about 50-100 meters. To avoid poisonous gas discharge, scientists decided to set fire to the hole. Geologists had hoped the fire would go out in a few days but it has been burning ever since. Locals have named the cavern The Door to Hell. As you can see from the picture above, it is one hell of an amazing place, but certainly one you wouldn’t want to visit.

Asbestos Mine – Canada

Asbestos is a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals highly prized for their resistance to fire and sound absorption abilities. On the downside, exposure to this stuff causes cancer and a variety of other diseases. It is so dangerous that the European Union has banned all mining and use of asbestos in Europe. But, for those curious enough to want to get close to the stuff, all is not lost. In Canada at the Thetford Mines, you can visit an enormous open pit asbestos mine which is still fully operational. The workers in the mines aren’t required to wear any sort of respiratory protection, and in some sections of the nearby town, residential areas are butted right next up against piles of asbestos waste. The mine offers bus tours of the deadly environment during the summer months. Tickets are free (would you expect it to be any other way?). If you decide to visit, don’t forget your full body bio-hazard suit.

Mud Volcanoes of Azerbaijan – Azerbaijan

In the Spring of 2001, volcanic activity under the Caspian Sea off the Azeri coast created a whole new island. In October 2001 there was an impressive volcanic eruption in Azerbaijan at Lokbatan, but there were no casualties or evacuation warnings. But Azerbaijan does not have a single active volcano, at least not in the usual sense of the word. What Azerbaijan does have is mud volcanoes – hundreds of them. Mud volcanoes are the little-known relatives of the more common magmatic variety. They do erupt occasionally with spectacular results, but are generally not considered to be dangerous – unless you happen to be there at the wrong time: every twenty years or so, a mud volcano explodes with great force, shooting flames hundreds of meters into the sky, and depositing tonnes of mud on the surrounding area. In one eruption, the flames could easily be seen from 15 kilometers away on the day of the explosion, and were still burning, although at a lower level, three days later.

Ramree Island – Burma

Ramree Island in Burma is a huge swamp home to 1000s of salt water enormous salt water crocodiles, the deadliest in the world. It is also home to malaria carrying mosquitos, and venomous scorpions. During the Second World War, the island was the site of a six week battle in the Burma campaign. Here is a description of one of those horrifying nights: “That night [of the 19 February 1945] was the most horrible that any member of the M.L. [motor launch] crews ever experienced. The scattered rifle shots in the pitch black swamp punctured by the screams of wounded men crushed in the jaws of huge reptiles, and the blurred worrying sound of spinning crocodiles made a cacophony of hell that has rarely been duplicated on earth. At dawn the vultures arrived to clean up what the crocodiles had left…Of about 1,000 Japanese soldiers that entered the swamps of Ramree, only about 20 were found alive.”

Great Pacific Garbage Patch – Pacific Ocean

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also described as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is a gyre of marine litter in the central North Pacific Ocean located roughly between 135° to 155°W and 35° to 42°N. Most current estimates state that it is larger than the U.S. state of Texas, with some estimates claiming that it is larger than the continental United States, however the exact size is not known for sure. The Patch is characterized by exceptionally high concentrations of pelagic plastics, chemical sludge, and other debris that have been trapped by the currents of the North Pacific Gyre. The patch is not easily visible because it consists of very small pieces, almost invisible to the naked eye, most of its contents are suspended beneath the surface of the ocean. This is not a place the average Joe would want to visit.

Alnwick Poison Gardens- England

Inspired by the Botanical Gardens in Padua, Italy (the first botanical garden which was created to grow medicinal and poisonous plants in the 1500s), the Alnwick Poison Garden is a garden devoted entirely to plants that can kill. It features many plants grown unwittingly in back gardens, and those that grow in the British countryside, as well as many more unusual varieties. Flame-shaped beds contain belladonna, tobacco and mandrake. The Alnwick Garden has a Home Office license to grow some very special plants; namely, cannabis and coca which are found behind bars in giant cages – for obvious reasons.

Izu Islands – Japan

The Izu Islands are a group of volcanic islands stretching south and east from the Izu Peninsula of Honshu, Japan. Administratively, they form two towns and six villages; all part of Tokyo. The largest is Izu Oshima, usually called simply Oshima. Because of their volcanic nature, the islands are constantly filled with the stench of sulfur (extremely similar to the smell of thousands of farts). Residents were evacuated from the islands in 1953 and 2000 due to volcanic activity and dangerously high levels of gas. The people returned in 2005 but are now required to carry gas masks with them at all times in case gas levels rise unexpectedly.

Yungas Road – Bolivia

The North Yungas Road (Road of Death or Death Road) is a 61 kilometres (38 mi) or 69 kilometres (43 mi) road leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 kilometres (35 mi) northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme danger with estimates stating that 200 to 300 travelers are killed yearly along it. The road includes crosses marking many of the spots where vehicles have fallen. The road was built in the 1930s during the Chaco War by Paraguayan prisoners. It is one of the few routes that connects the Amazon rainforest region of northern Bolivia, or Yungas, to its capital city. Because of the extreme dropoffs of at least 600 metres (2,000 ft), single-lane width – most of the road no wider than 3.2 metres (10 ft) and lack of guard rails, the road is extremely dangerous. Further still, rain, fog and dust can make visibility precarious. In many places the road surface is muddy, and can loosen rocks from the road.

The Zone of Alienation – Eastern Europe

The Zone of Alienation is the 30 km/19 mi exclusion zone around the site of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster and is administrated by a special administration under the Ukrainian Ministry of Extraordinary Situations (Emergencies). Thousands of residents refused to be evacuated from the zone or illegally returned there later. Over the decades this primarily elderly population has dwindled, falling below 400 in 2009. Approximately half of these resettlers live in the town of Chernobyl; others are spread in villages across the zone. After recurrent attempts at expulsion, the authorities became reconciled to their presence and even allowed limited supporting services for them. Because of looting, there is a strong police presence – so be warned, if you visit, you may either be shot or get radiation poisoning – and we all know how awful that can be.

Ilha de Queimada Grande – Brazil

Off the shore of Brazil, almost due south of the heart of São Paulo, is a Ilha de Queimada Grande (Snake Island). The island is untouched by human developers, and for very good reason. Researchers estimate that on the island live between one and five snakes per square meter. That figure might not be so terrible if the snakes were, say, 2 inches long and nonvenomous. The snakes on Queimada Grande, however, are a unique species of pit viper, the golden lancehead. The lancehead genus of snakes is responsible for 90% of Brazilian snakebite-related fatalities. The golden lanceheads that occupy Snake Island grow to well over half a meter long, and they possess a powerful fast-acting poison that melts the flesh around their bites. This place is so dangerous that a permit is required to visit.

Bully Whippet - The Muscular Dog On Earth

2012-05-10T11:50:00.005-07:00

What do you think about the DOG in the picture? It’s really unbelievable what your eyes are seeing, you might think that this picture is edited in Photoshop, but my friends it’s real and insane.
The bread of dog in the picture is called “bully whippet,” a bread of whippet with a genetic transformation that makes it more powerfully built and faster than standard dogs.
The name of the dog in the picture is “Wendy”. The bully whippet ”Windy”, lives in Victoria, British Columbia, and is extraordinary in that she has two mutated copies of the gene and is therefore a “double-muscled” bully whippet who weighs twice as compare to the standard one. The increased muscle mass, along with metabolism and extremely low levels of body fats, can transform to impressive super-feats, including marked increases in speed, agility and power.

Top 10 Interesting And Weird Living Organism

2012-05-07T08:39:00.000-07:00

When someone says the word ‘organisms’, what comes to your mind? Better yet, living organisms? A whole list of things crawls through our minds ranging from small insects to lions and elephants to cats and dogs. There are unlike categories that come to our minds as well for example, aquatic, docile, herbivorous, carnivorous, undomesticated, organisms and etc. We as humans tend to be very ill-mannered and ignore the ‘not-so-obvious’ details on a daily basis. There are a million things that we do not know of yet and there a million organisms that do exist but we are unaware. This article talks about some weird organisms that you probably never heard of before of these creatures is very

interesting and distinctive.

1.CHINESE GIANT SALAMANDER
It is said that the salamander has stayed the same for the past 30 million years and it is also the biggest salamander in the world right now. It can be found in the lakes of china. It can grow up to 73 inches in length and has an impressive life-span of eighty years. The salamander has a poor eye-sight so it basically uses its other senses to detect prey. The Chinese Giant Salamander is a nocturnal creature and feeds on crabs, fish, frogs and shrimps etc.

2. ANGORA RABBIT
This is one cute and cuddly thing. It is a domestic rabbit that is bred for the purposes of achieving soft wool. The origin of this particular creature is from Angora, Turkey. They can live up to seven years so you can even keep them as pet. There are five different types of the Angora Rabbit including English, German, Giant, French and Satin. They can weigh up to 12 pounds and because of their fluffiness they look very attractive. I actually find all the types of rabbits cute, doesn’t have to be fluffy. Oh, you can think of this one as a Persian Rabbit as in Persian Cat.

3. GIANT GRENADIER
This is a funny name but if you look at the thing it makes sense. It is found in the Okhotsk and Bering seas in the Northern Pacific. This particular fish can grow about seven inches in length and has an average life-span of 56 years. It usually feeds on squids, worms and shrimps. It is a scary looking creature; I for one wouldn’t dare go near it.

4. GIANT ISOPOD
This creature is found in the Atlantic Ocean and it exists as deep as 7,020 feet. This particular organism might seem quite alien. That’s because it lives in the pitch black of the oceans. It is said that that isopod has stayed the same way for the past 130 million years and nothing about its appearance has changed. The giant isopod can grow up to fourteen inches in length and thirty inches in height. Interestingly enough it has four sets of jaws. It can survive without food for more than eight weeks and usually feeds on dead whales and fish.

5. KING OF HERRINGS
You can find this fish swimming in waters that are 300 to 1000 feet deep in basically any ocean of the world. The king usually remains in the deep waters and the rare times when it surfaces it usually dies. The fish can reach around 16 feet in length and you know that myth that says there are giant sea serpents? It is said that those rumors might have branched off the Kings.

6. OLM
This is snake-like amphibian which can live in the ocean and on the land. It is about eight to twelve inches in length. An Olm is very fragile as can be judged in the picture as well. The skin texture and color resembles that of humans. The Olm too does not have a very strong vision so it depends on the sense of smell and hearing to survive.

7. SEA PIG
Sea Pigs are creatures that are said to be related to sea cucumbers. These organisms are about four inches in length and have about ten tentacles. They don’t exactly swim but rather walk on the ocean floor with the help of their tub like feet. They detect food by its scent. They were named ‘sea pigs’ because of their pinkish skin color highly resembling the pig that we know of. They eat organic particles trapped in the mud which they scrape off with their tentacles.

8. JAPANESE SPIDER CRAB
This crab is said to be the biggest crab in the whole world with about eight legs. It is found swimming in waters that are 150 to 800 meters deep. The crab has a leg span of 3.6 meters and can be found on the southern coasts of the Japanese Island Honshu. The Japanese Spider Crab is said to be able to live around a hundred years and they usually feed of animal carcasses and plants. You could almost compare them with vultures.

9. VIPERFISH
You must have seen the viperfish in the movie ‘Finding Nemo’. This particular fish is a deepwater fish and lives in tropical and moderate waters. Its length can vary from one to two feet and can be found swimming in waters that are 250 to 5000 feet deep. It might look frightening at first sight but the poor thing is a very usual prey for sharks and, believe it or not, dolphins. The viperfish can live for a whopping forty years and considering the head to teeth ratio; this one has the biggest and therefore holds the record for it.

10. YETI CRAB
This particular aquatic organism was discovered a mere seven years ago in 2005 in the Pacific Ocean. It’s called a yeti crab because the hair resembles a mythical creature that you’re probably familiar with; Yeti. These crabs can be found in the hydrothermal vents of the Pacific Ocean. These vents release a toxic liquid that is fatal to your everyday aquatic organisms (most of them). There is not a lot of research available on the yeti crab but there is a theory that says that these crabs might be blind. It is also said that they feed of the toxic liquid that is protruded by the hydro-thermal vents.

This is the longest word in any English dictionary. However, it was coined by Everett Smith, the President of The National Puzzlers' League, in 1935 purely for the purpose of inventing a new "longest word". The Oxford English Dictionary described the word as factitious. Nevertheless it also appears in the Webster's, Random House, and Chambers dictionaries.

(37) HEPATICOCHOLANGIOCHOLECYSTENTEROSTOMIES = a surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder.

This is the longest word in Gould's Medical Dictionary.

The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls floccinaucinihilipilification the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary, and refers to pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis as the longest made-up one.

I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;

World's Top 8 Extreme Breath Taking Slides

2011-09-11T09:47:00.000-07:00

Jumeirah Sceirah at the Wild Wadi Waterpark (UAE)

Wild Wadi Water Park is considered to be among the top ten Dubai attractions. It is ideally located in Jumeirah, very close to the Burj Al Arab. Their main attraction is Jumeirah Sceirah, the tallest and fastest free-fall water slide outside the United States. It rises to 33 m (110 ft) with riders getting speeds to 80 km/h (50 mph).

Slide Inside an Airport (Singapore)

It can be hard to travel with children, which is why Singapore's Changi Airport was designed to be a family entertainment venue. Among its amenities is a 40-foot tall slide. It's the tallest slide in Singapore and the tallest slide in any airport anywhere. For every $22 spent in the airport, adrenaline junkies (or really brave little kids) get tokens for two rides on the slide. Visitors who don't want to travel at the speed of 19 feet a second, can take a ride down the shorter, one-and-a-half-story tall slide located at Terminal 3 Basement 2, which is free.

Slide Inside a Mall (Canada)

World Waterpark is the world's largest indoor waterpark with a size of roughly 30 acres. The World Waterpark opened to public in 1986. It is located in the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It has a maximum capacity of 40,000 guests. The highest slides in the park are Twister and Cyclone, which are both 83 feet (25 m) high.

Frozen Slide at Disney's Blizzard Beach (US)

Two body slides on the top of Mt. Gushmore offer thrilling, "chilling" excitement at Disney's Blizzard Beach water park at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The top slide, at 120 feet high, offers a spectacular view of the Disney property and is the world's tallest, fastest free-fall speed slide.

World's Most Extreme Slide (Brazil)

Located in Porto das Dunas, 16 km from Fortaleza, Brazil, Beach Park originated in 1985 out of a trendy beachfront restaurant. In 1989, it opened its water park, the first in Latin America, with three water slides. The Insano is the highest water slide in the world at 41 meters high, a record listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Its height is equivalent to that of a 14-storey building. As a consequence of its height and slope, this water slide provides an extremely rapid descent - taking between four and five seconds - at a speed of 105 km/h. Because of these characteristics, the Insano is considered the most extreme of this type of equipment on the planet.

Leap of Faith Waterslide (Dubai)

Luxury resort Atlantis The Palm, Dubai, is "larger than life", even in the context of extravagant Dubai. Like the Atlantis Bahamas, Atlantis The Palm has an Aquaventure water park with a near-vertical waterslide. The Leap of Faith waterslide plunges down from the top of the Ziggurat. The slide finishes in a clear tunnel in the shark lagoon. The Aquaventure area of Atlantis the Palm covers 42 acres (17 hectares), and has a 700-metre beach.

Japan's Tallest Slide (Japan)

This slide comes in at an incredible 262 feet in length and is on the top of a mountain with a commanding view of western Kyushu's coastal plain.

Slide Staircase (England)

This creative slide next to the staircase was designed by London architect Alex Michaelis at the request of his children. Not only it adds originality but a lot of fun to their new eco-friendly dream home. In the picture, one of the children throwing caution to the wind and diving head first down the slide. According to Michaelis even grown-ups can't resist skipping the stairs. "We've been known after a big dinner party to use the slide”, he said. Creativity, originality and fun, what a perfect combination!

28 Cool & Creative Wooden Creations

2011-07-18T08:19:00.000-07:00

These classy cars have a beautiful finish, and are wonders to drive. Just be sure they’re not involved in a fender bender, as it would turn to matchsticks and be nearly impossible to fix.

Doors, cabinets, and carving boards are the extent to which most people have wood in their homes. Who would ever think to use wood for anything as crazy as making a car? Or as a sculpting medium? These people are out there, and they do some amazing work.

Leave it to the Japanese! This wild vehicle was created with a futuristic sensibility. Riding in this car would be a great way to turn heads downtown.

The only thing crazier than creating a wooden automobile, is creating a wooden automobile that drives on land and water. These amphibious pieces of art would be a hell of a lot of fun to watch cruising across a lake.

These clothes may look comfortable, but they definitely are not. These art pieces must have been truly difficult to create. Do not attempt to take these clothes of their hangars, or the artist will not be happy.

Some wooden cars look more fanciful than others, and this variety is well represented above. One can cruise in a truly gorgeous sports car, or chug along in a dinky homemade automobile.

When someone mentions furntiure made out of wood, it’s natural to assume they’re talking about a desk, or a cabinet, not a stand with a wooden cloth, or a soft-looking sofa chair made out of pine. Add to that wooden amps, a wooden kitchen table covered in wooden utensils and plates, and you have a truly fantastic setup.

Lack metal fabrication skills? Find a tree and get to work! These motorcyclists have created working bikes just fine, out of the most green material available. It might be difficult to find replacement parts, but one can always whittle another one!

The variety of wood sculpted creations is mind boggling. From purses to futuristic tanks and weapons of war, wood must be one of the most unusual mediums for this type of work. These creations are far from the whittled figures one imagines when wooden sculpture is mentioned.

8 Unbelievable Medical Conditions

2011-07-05T07:12:00.000-07:00

We are all different from one another in many ways but on some level we are all like one another. But the people on this list are different from the rest of us. But they have something in common. They all suffer from rare medical conditions that seem too weird to be real. However, the reality is that they are different but they found a way to cope with their unorthodox condition. Being unique is not always the thing one would wish upon himself/ herself but when you are, you have to make the best of it.

The Girl that Collapses Every Time She Laughs

Kay Underwood collapses every time she laughs. She has cataplexy, the sudden weakening of the muscles brought on by strong emotions. It can be caused by laugh, anger, and even smugness. Doctors do not know the cause of this disease.

The Man Who Cannot Get Fat

Mr. Perry 59 ate all that he could, he ate pies, burgers and desserts never had to worry about calories. The reason for this is that he suffers from a condition lipodystrophy that makes his body rapidly burn fat. He lost weight rapidly when he was 12 and couldn’t gain enough weight to get fat again. Because of his condition, his body burns calories at fast rate.

The Boy Who Couldn’t Sleep… for Years

Rhett Lamb is like any other boy in all respects except for one. He cannot sleep. He stays awake torturing his parents with insomnia 14 hours a week every day of the year. His parent’s couldn’t figure out why that was so. After a series of tests he was diagnosed with an extremely rare medical condition called chiari malformation. It is a case when one’s brain literally is squeezed into the spinal column.

The Woman Who is Allergic to Modern Technology

Most of us couldn’t do without modern technology that is supposed to make our lives easier. However, Debbie Bird would disagree on that last bit. She is allergic to technology. She gets a severe rash around here eyes when she is near cell phones, microwaves, computers and in the range of electromagnetic fields. It must be a living nightmare passing the people in the street on their cell phone or even when she’s in a car (since she’s allergic to some cars). She is the living proof that modern technology is bad for you.

She Can only Eat Tic Tacs

Natalie Cooper is a 17 year old girl who can eat only Tic Tacs. Anything else she eats makes her sick to her stomach so Tic Tacs mints are the only ‘’food‘’ her stomach can digest. The rest of nutritious ingredients she gets from a specially formulated feed through a tube.

The Girl Who is Allergic to Water

Another unbelievable condition on our list is the one Ashleigh Morris is suffering from. She suffers from Aquagenic Urticaria, a disorder that disables her from getting in any kind of contact with water, like bathing, swimming etc. She’s even allergic to her own sweat and gets a rash every time. Despite that our bodies are made of 80% water, it seems that her skin is allergic to it. What a bummer. I wonder how she bathes.

The Man Who Doesn’t Feel Cold

Wim Hof aka The Ice Man can stand in the ice cold weather without feeling cold. This Dutchman swam under ice, climbed the Mont Blanc wearing nothing but shorts and is also a world record holder. There is no logical explanation for his state, but I cannot help but wonder, who wouldn’t like to walk naked in the winter?

Don’t expect a professional who makes traditional wedding videos to put together a cinematic film.

2. What is your storytelling approach?

Make sure you and the videographer are on the same page about how you want the day documented. Ask to see samples of his or her recent work.

3. What type of coverage do you offer?

The number of hours a videographer will shoot and the film he or she will use vary by vendor. Many pros offer a nice variety of options. Pick one that works best for the wedding’s schedule, style, and budget. Once you select the package, the coverage should be detailed in the contract.

4. What type of video or film format do you use?

Most videographers today shoot on digital film and produce DVDs (as opposed to VHS tapes) that offer extremely sharp images and last for more than 30 years. Some shoot on Super 8 (eight-millimeter) film, or digital film that gives the same nostalgic, vintage effect as Super 8 but is not as expensive.

5. How will the audio (sound) be handled?

You won’t want an annoying microphone hanging over you or your guests throughout the day. Nowadays, most quality video cameras feature microphones that pick up clear sound. If a videographer wants to record the best audio during the vows, he or she will place a wireless mic on the officiant or groom― never on the bride, as it might affect the wedding dress.

6. What types of cameras/lighting will you use?

Hire a professional who owns the most advanced and modern equipment to ensure the best picture quality. The latest video cameras are more light-sensitive, so the videographer doesn’t have to bring in harsh, glaring, or obtrusive lighting.

7. How many other weddings will you be shooting on my wedding day?

You will want to know that you’ll have the videographer’s full attention and time. If the person is overbooked, he or she may rush through your event. Be sure your wedding doesn’t overlap with another.

8. Will you coordinate with my photographer?

It’s a good idea to have the videographer and photographer meet, even for just a few minutes before the ceremony, to collaborate on the video and photography coverage. You do not want them competing for shots, which can create an uneasy atmosphere.

9. What is your editing process?

Some videographers use an in-camera editing technique to cut costs. But this process, in which the person tries to shoot the raw footage as cleanly as possible to reduce editing time later, can produce a low-quality video. Wedding videos should be professionally edited postproduction, after the film negative is uploaded onto a computer. Once the film is on the computer, the videographer can edit on-screen. Pros usually take three hours to edit one hour of video footage.

10. Do you offer HD-ready video?

In the age of high-definition television, this is good to know. If you are investing in a quality wedding video, you’ll most likely want to receive the most up-to-date product, which offers the sharpest pictures and will be compatible with any high-tech entertainment system that you want to set up.

Thamkrabok Buddhist Monastery Toughest Rehab Clinic

2011-05-21T07:36:00.000-07:00

Although the names of those who get treated here are never revealed, Thamkrabok Monastery has had many famous patients, from moviestars to high ranking politicians.

Hidden away in a forest, 140 km north of Bankok, Thailand, the Buddhist Monastery of Thamkrabok takes in alcoholics and drug users from all over the world. Unlinke famous detox clinics like Betty Ford (California), or Priory (London), this Thai monastery doesn’t have paparazzi lurking around, and it’s a lot cheaper. One month at Betty Ford Clinic costs $23,000, while just one week at Priory amounts to 5,000 pounds. At Thamkrabok Monastery, all you need is $3 for food, because treatment and accomodations are supported by donations.

The rehab treatment at Thamkrabok lasts 10 days, and only those who come of their own free will, are willing to follow all instructions, and are comitted to kicking their habit for good, are welcome. When they decide to go to Thamkrabok Monastery, patients must realize they are in for a rude awakening. No matter their social status or wealth, patients will have to sleep in a mass dormitory, wake up very early and take every medicine given by the monks.

That might sound bearable, but most of the herbal treatments at Thamkrabok will have anyone puking out their insides, almost instantly. Apart from the black herbal pills, disgusting herbal drinks, and tons of herbal teas, addicts also have to sweat out their habit in herbal saunas.

After the 10 day program is completed, patients have the option of staying a while longer, to meditate and do chores around the monastery. When they leave Thamkrabok, people must realize they will never get the chance to get treated again. If they leave, and they’re yet cured, they won’t be able to return.
