Billiards

2010-01-14T17:38:00.000-08:00

They say that every sport pretends to a literature, but people don't believe it of any other sport but their own. I guess that's absolute truth:-) As to me I love billiards as well as I love any kind of sport and activities that bring me pleasure and fun. Sports is human life in microcosm. A billiard, a type of shot in cue sports that includes in general pool, carom billiards, snooker, etc. the term "billiards" means sometimes used to refer to any of the following more specifically: Carom billiard, also known as French billiard, English billiard, "quadrillion" billiard, Dynamical billiards, Nicolas billiards.

French billiards or three ball billiards game, three-cushion billiards is played before touching the last ball so that billiards is considered correct, which is why three-cushion billiards is often called billiards; but this isn’t the case with Esnuka which follows the normal rules without any additional requirements.
rench billiards, English billiards, "quadrillion" billiard, Dynamical billiards, Nicolas billiards.

You can also get bif fun playing such billiards games as 8-ball, 9-ball, straight pool, pyramid, carom and snooker right online. Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.

Figure Skating 2009 at Helsinki

2009-03-26T00:51:00.000-07:00

Finland’s Laura Lepistö has won the European Championship with a total score of 167.32 points. She is the first ever Finnish skater to win the ladies’ title.

Italy’s Carolina Kostner placed second, receiving a total score of 165.42 points. Finland’s Susanna Pöykiö came third with an overall score of 156.31. All medallists beat their earlier season’s best scores for the free programme.

Lepistö, who led the race for gold after the short, handled the intense pressure of skating in front of a roaring home audience extremely well. The 20-year-old Finn skated a calm and well-rounded free program to Don Juan de Marco. She also had a few problems, and ended up simplifying her triple-triple combination and singling her triple Lutz. She was still happy with her skate and couldn’t believe that she’d won.

- This is an incredible feeling. I can’t even start to tell what’s going through my mind now, Lepistö said.

The Finnish team had set a goal of two medals, but Lepistö still said that she could never have expected for one of them to be a golden one, or her.

The 10,000 strong crowd’s reaction to Lepistö’s final spin was electric. The skater said she felt the great energy of the crowd.

- I have never experienced a feeling like that. The crowd exploded, and I had the same feeling, she said.

Italy’s Kostner, who started the competition as the number-one favourite, skated a clean and stylish free to Anton Dvorak. Her excellent speed and jumps were enough to win the free skating event, but she was only able to pull up to second place overall. Kostner doubled her triple flip and claimed to have made other errors as well.

- I’m very pleased anyway. The audience was awesome and cheered me as well, Kostner said.

Bronze medallist, Finland’s Susanna Pöykiö was slightly disappointed with her skating, but satisfied with her medal. She doubled a combination jump and a flip and told she had felt nervous on the ice, skating right after Lepistö.

- I’m extremely glad to be back at this level, and still have a chance to show these girls what I’ve got at the next competition, Pöykiö laughed.

All three agreed that the level of European ladies’ skating is currently very high.

- The American and Japanese are hard to beat, but we can fight them at Worlds, Kostner summed up the trio’s feelings.

Finland’s Kiira Korpi finished in fifth place. She had a surprise fall in the beginning of her free program and had to restart her music, costing her a three-point deduction. She was still happy to have been able to skate for her home audience.

- I guess this is figure skating drama at its best, or in my case at its worst. My blades must have crashed or something. At the end I felt good about being able to pull off the whole program, Korpi said.

All the medallists of the Helsinki European Championships will perform in the Gala Exhibiton on Sunday at 3.30 p.m.

According Soccernet Brendan Rodgers has been given an early opportunity to show his former employers what they are missing after Watford were drawn at home to Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Rodgers spent four years as youth and reserve coach at Stamford Bridge before leaving to take the managerial reins at Vicarage Road in November.
The 38-year-old will not be the only familiar face for the visitors with Frank Lampard Sr, father of Chelsea's England midfielder, currently employed as Rodgers' football consultant.
Captain Jay DeMerit, who netted his first FA Cup goal in yesterday's 4-3 fourth-round win over Crystal Palace, believes the occasion will be one for the Hornets to relish.

He told Sky Sports: "It's a tough game of course but this is what we play for. Ever since I've been here we've never been short of cup runs and it's always good to get in these situations.''

The Marion Jones disgrace

2008-07-28T06:25:00.000-07:00

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas sent a message to professional athletes when he imposed the maximum sentence on Olympic champion Marion Jones last Friday. Jones was sentenced to the maximum six months in prison for lying about using steroids and for her role in a check-fraud scheme. She pleaded for lenience out of concern for her two young children, including an infant she's still nursing. "Athletes serve as role models," said the judge. "In our society athletes have an elevated status, they entertain and they inspire us."

In addition Jones was given two years' probation and was sentenced to 800 hours of community service. Despite previous denials that she had ever used performance-enhancing drugs, last October Jones finally admitted she had used a steroid called "the clear" from September 2000 to July 2001. Jones won three gold and two bronze medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics: golds in the 100- and 200-meter runs, and in the 1600-meter relay, and bronzes in the long jump and 400-meter relay. She returned those medals before the International Olympic Committee asked her to do so.

After pleading guilty last year, Jones broke down, saying, "It's with a great amount of shame that I stand before you and tell you that I have betrayed your trust. I have been dishonest and you have every right to be angry with me. I have let my family down, I have let my country down, and I have let myself down."

Jones was devastated by the sentence. "As everyone can imagine, I'm very disappointed today. But as I stood in front of all of you for years in victory, I stand in front of you today. I stand for what is right. I respect the judge's order, and I truly hope that people will learn from my mistakes."

In a free country it should be up to each individual to decide what to put into his or her own body, but when it comes to athletics, ingesting steroids gives an unfair edge and is simply cheating.

Rafael Nadal is Winner.

2008-06-08T12:28:00.000-07:00

Rafael Nadal has destroyed Federer to win French Open. Nadal defeated Roger Federer in the final game for the third year running on Sunday and joined Swedish legend Bjorn Borg as the only man to win four straight titles at Roland Garros.

"I played a perfect match," said Nadal, who was presented with the trophy by Borg.

"I'm sorry for that final but you played well," he told Federer. "I want to thank Roger for his attitude on the court."

"I would have hoped to do better than four games but Rafael is very, very strong," Federer told the crowd.

"He dominated this tournament like maybe no one before except Borg, so congratulations Rafa.

"It was still a good week. Losing in a final is never easy but I will try again next year."

Nadal broke the world No 1 three times as he raced through the first set in 32 minutes.

The Euro 2008 soccer competition

2008-06-04T13:21:00.001-07:00

The Euro 2008 soccer competition kicks off this Saturday with Switzerland playing the Czech Republic. One familiar face to anyone who watched the Champions League final on TV will be Petr Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper.

Germany are the tournament favourites, and they almost have home advantage with their games being played in neighbouring Austria. Italy, widely regarded as second favourites, have just suffered a huge blow with their captain Fabio Cannavaro being ruled out injured after a training ground clash with a team mate only 6 hours after arriving in Switzerland. He will sit out the full tournament.

Portugal are joint third favourites, largely due to Ronaldo's impressive season with Manchester United. He scored 42 goals, including the vital 1st half goal in the Champions League final. He also won "player of the year" in the English Premier League.

2008-05-13T03:57:00.000-07:00

WITH Super 14 finals out of reach, Western Force coach John Mitchell has set his side the task of avoiding the unenviable record of losing to every other Australian side this season, foxsports.com reports. Having been pipped by the Waratahs and pumped by Queensland, the Force finish their third season with a visit from the ACT Brumbies on Friday.

And with Laurie Fisher stepping down after the game, Mitchell has said he intends to leave outgoing Brumbies' head coach with few good memories of his last game in charge.

“You can be remembered for your season finishing on a bad note or finishing on a good note, and both teams have an opportunity to finish 7-6 - that sounds a lot better than the other way,” Mitchell said.

“It is a local derby, and the Brumbies have been the benchmark of Australian rugby for a long time.

“The outcome (of the game) could be that (we lose to every Australian side), but more importantly it is about how we play.

“If that happens to be the case then we have to go back to the drawing board and find out why we have not performed against Australian teams this year.”

Allen Iverson.

2008-03-19T21:56:00.000-07:00

Allen Iverson, playing in Philadelphia for the first time since being traded to Denver in December 2006, led all scorers with 32 points Wednesday night. But it was the 76ers who made the big plays down the stretch and spoiled their former MVP’s return with a 115-113 victory over the Nuggets, Philadelphia (AP) reports.

“I dreamed it up a certain way, and it was better than that,” Iverson said. “Everything was perfect but one thing, and that was not winning the game.”

Iverson misfired on a 20-foot jumper and Marcus Camby missed a put-back in the final seconds as the Nuggets lost their second straight and failed to pick up any ground in their bid for a playoff spot in the tough Western Conference.

“I almost had a perfect trip at my home away from home,” Iverson said.

Allen Ezail Iverson (born June 7, 1975, in Hampton, Virginia), nicknamed A.I. is an American professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association. An 11-year veteran at the age of 32, he is considered to be one of the most prolific and consistent scorers in the history of the game (his career average of 27.8 points per contest is third all-time behind only Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain).

Sport Diving.

2008-03-12T19:36:00.000-07:00

Undoubtedly, diving is one of the most spectacular graceful and dramatic sports. Diving entered the Olympic Games as a new event almost a century ago. It was simply diving, as we know it today, and indeed, the 1996 program did not change a blink from the 1924 program. Now here comes some truly fancy diving: synchronized diving, or diving in pairs, which was introduced in the Sydney 2000 Games, doubling the program in more than one way.

Diving competitions at the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics will be held from August 10 to August 23, at the Beijing National Aquatics Center.The 2008 Olympic Team Trials for diving will take place June 18-22 in Indianapolis, IN.

Very beautiful picture, isn't it? More than 12 thousand competitors have taken part in the Engadin Ski Marathon on the second Sunday in March, crossing a 42km ski race through some of Switzerland's most amazing scenery.

Competitors gather at the start, get whipped into a frenzy by music from Chariots of Fire, and take off Le-Mans-style across a couple of snow-covered lakes. Then a short climb up the 'Golan Heights' and the finish is just a whimper away!

Shooting Events.

2008-03-05T19:01:00.000-08:00

No wonder that Olympic history abounds with tales and really fantastic stories of athletes who overcame extremely unfavorable adversity on the way to win gold medals, and stories about shooters are not an exception to the rule. For example Karoly Takacs' was part of Hungary's world-champion pistol-shooting team in 1938 when an army grenade exploded in his right hand. Ten years later, he won the first two gold medals in rapid-fire pistol - after teaching himself to shoot left-handed.

Target shooting became an Olympic sport in 1896. Today shooting events at the Olympics Games fall into four general categories: shotgun, rifle, pistol and running-target events. Shooting is widely followed both as a sport for major sporting events like the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, and Asian Games and as an individual sport. There are thousands of shooting clubs and ranges all around the world, including online services and most of them welcome anyone wanting to learn or to develop their shooting skills.

No doubt that one of the most important part of the shooting sport is the equipment of course. So if you want to learn more about pistols and rifles which actually come in many different types, shapes and sizes you should visit Nite Site Airsoft Website where you find any needed information though it were spring air, gas powered, electric air pistols and rifles or games, safety precautions, companies, equipment, laws and care.

Last Season Teddy Sheringham

2008-03-01T07:30:00.000-08:00

Veteran former England striker Teddy Sheringham, who will turn 42 announced he will retire at the end of the season and will finally end his 26-year career, BBC reports. Sheringham said: "After a long and fun-filled career I have decided this season will be my last. "I've had a fantastic time and want to thank all those who have contributed to my career and helped me along the way."

Sheringham added: "I've no immediate thoughts about going into management but football has always been my life and hopefully I will be back at some point in the future.

"Until then I have to try and help Colchester United stay in the Championship."

My Dad wanted me to carry on and beat Sir Stanley Matthews' record but I feel this season is the right time to bow out”.

Anabolic Steroids and Sport.

2008-02-12T08:48:00.000-08:00

Since anabolic steroids were banned by the International Olympic Council in 1967, many, if not all, major professional sports organizations following their example, have banned the use of steroids by athletes. The cause is their potentially dangerous side effects and because they give the user an unfair advantage. There are many types of steroids, but one of the most common of them is anabolic-androgenic that promote growth of skeletal muscle (anabolic effect) and the development of male sexual characteristics (androgenic effects).

Most people think that this is just the stuff, something like food and drug supplement they buy steroids to increase muscle mass, strength, and endurance but actually they do a whole lot more and all of it is not so pretty. Additionally, Dr. Wadler stresses that "unlike almost all other drugs, all steroid based hormones have one unique characteristic -- their dangers may not be manifest for months, years and even decades. Therefore, long after you gave them up you may develop side effects."

Today every young athlete striving for victory, striving to win at any cost has to take a time to learn about the benefits, risks and many unknown factors regarding so-called performance-enhancing drugs and to decide that the benefits aren't worth the risks.

Novak Djokovic Сhampion.

2008-01-25T08:03:00.000-08:00

Roger Federer lost to Novak Djokovic in straight sets in their Australian Open semifinal yesterday to end the defending champion's record run of 10 straight appearances in Grand Slam tennis finals.

"I am just very amazed I coped with the pressure today," the 20-year-old Novak Djokovic said. "In the most important moments, I played my best tennis. It's just amazing, indescribable, to beat the No. 1 player of the world, one of the best players this sport has ever had, in straight sets."

"I think he made the more important points today, it was a bit unfortunate for me," said Federer, who rubbed his eyes frequently at his post-match news conference. "There is no doubt I have played better before.

NFL Legends.

2008-01-04T03:06:00.000-08:00

The list of the best players NFL today era includes such famous names as Joe Montana Montana, Jerry Rice, Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, another outstanding players and Walter Payton of course. Jim Finks, the former Chicago Bears general manager who drafted Payton, said about this “sweetness” guy: "He is a complete football player. He is better than Jim Brown. He is better than O.J. Simpson."

Mike Ditka, who coached Payton and the Bears to a victory in Super Bowl XX gave him high praise saying that Walter was the best football player he's ever seen and probably one of the best people he’s ever met. "Walter takes pride in the little things, the blocking, the faking. Once against Cincinnati, he picked up a couple of linebackers and liked to have killed them," coach remembers. "He could do it all: run, block and pass. But off the field, he was just as great of a person. He was a real person. There was no phoniness about him."

Walter Payton is really greatest sport’s legend and who have ever seen his play will never forget. He could play any position, he never avoided contact, in response to accusation that he "run over" his opponents trying to hit them as hard as he can, Payton usually said: "My coach at Jackson State, Bob Hill, always said that if you are going to die, you should die hard, never die easily." It seems to be he has to carry the Bears on his shoulders. There are many talented players but real genius we can be counted on the fingers of one hand and Walter Payton is one of them.

Luis Figo.

2007-12-26T00:59:00.000-08:00

Luis Figo is the 2nd best player in the world after Ronaldinho.

Luís Figo is married to Swedish model Helen Svedin. The two met at a flamenco show and are now married with three daughters, Daniela (born in March 1999), Martina (born in April 2002), and Stella (born December 9, 2004).

Like several of his Real Madrid colleagues at the time like Steve McManaman and Roberto Carlos, Luís is a devout Catholic, and met the Pope with those team mates in 2002.

Along with his countryman, football manager Carlos Queiróz, Figo was briefly joint seat holder for A1 Team Portugal, in A1 Grand Prix, during the 2005-06 season.

England Football Head Coach.

2007-12-13T15:55:00.000-08:00

It became known that last night Fabio Capello had been approved by The Football Association board as England head coach. But Capello is not going to sign his contract until he is satisfied by the terms offered to the four Italian members of his backroom staff, an early indication of the firm approach that he will bring to the job.

There were indications that Capello will find room for an English coach in his support staff - possibly David Platt, who speaks Italian, or Alan Shearer – and that he is likely to find a place in his plans for David Beckham, who may even be made captain for what would be his 100th cap in the new coach’s first match in charge, the friendly match against Switzerland on February 6.

Floyd Mayweather is winner.

2007-12-11T04:41:00.000-08:00

Probably the duel between Floyd Mayweather with Ricky Hatton will be one of the richest fights in boxing history. Floyd Mayweather insisted that he is the greatest fighter of all time - even better than Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali - and that Ricky Hatton is a dirty fighter who will not get away with underhand tactics when they meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. "I can quit today and I'll be known as the best fighter that ever lived. I respect what Robinson and Ali did for the sport, but I am the greatest, and this is my time," said Mayweather.

So he kept his promise; Mayweather has been as good as his word.

Football Corruption.

2007-11-28T15:11:00.000-08:00

“Five men have been arrested today on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting as part of an ongoing investigation into football corruption,” said a City of London Police spokeswoman.
Redknapp and Milan Mandaric, the Leicester City chairman and former Portsmouth chairman, were held after early morning raids this morning involving officers from the City of London Police. Amdy Faye, the Rangers midfielder formerly with Portsmouth, football agent Willie McKay and Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie were also held as officers searched eight addresses across the UK.

Redknapp, who has been linked with the vacant England manager's job, was questioned at Chichester Police Station. Redknapp said he believed his release from Chichester police station was "the end of it" after being questioned by police.He spoke as he returned to his multi-million pound home at Sandbanks, Poole, Dorset.
He said: "We all helped the police with their enquiries, but it doesn't directly concern me, it's other people involved. I've been answering questions to help the police. I am not directly concerned with their enquiries." The raids were the latest development in attempts by the authorities to root out corruption in the national game, which began after the report by Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington this summer into football transfers.
The Quest team led by Stevens, the former Metropolitan Police commissioner, trawled 362 transfer deals made over a 15-month period.

Italian police killed football fan

Why?

2007-10-29T04:07:00.000-07:00

Oh, how it poetic and exalted sounds! “Baseball is about history, its poets tell us. It is about continuity and about heirloom emotions. It's a golden thread that binds the generations together, one after another, in the face of an increasingly centrifugal and atomized world. So say baseball's poets, and because this is a baseball story, let's begin nearly a century ago”. It was written by CHARLES P.

Olympic medals.

It can permeate a wide variety of modes of expression and no single race or era can claim a monopoly of it. The olimpic medals represent these values of Olympism: friendship, honour and excellence in the respect for one’s opponent. So medal's particular design must ideally recall the spirit of loyalty that lodges in the heart of all sportsmen. Athletes in Ancient Greece used to receive a laurel wreath covered in gold as their reward for winning an event.

Gold Olimpic Medal, Sapporo 1972
Olympic medals must be at least 60 millimetres in diameter and at least three millimetres thick. Gold and silver medals must be made of 92.5 percent pure silver; the gold medal must be gilded with at least six grams of gold and the design of the medal is the responsibility of the host city's organising committee, with the approval of the IOC.
