While I’m busy making March Madness predictions my thoughts keep straying to my true passion, football. “Football,” Vince Lombardi once said, “Is a game of blocking and tackling, played down in the dirt.” For all of the elaborate offensive passing schemes drawn up by coaches who want to the throw the ball all over the yard – aided by rules that favor such high-octane, high scoring styles of play – the legendary coach’s mantra still rings true for a good many football teams, although that has been changing over the last few years.

Passing Fancy

When the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLVIII, they did it with an offense that relied heavily on the passing of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, defying Lombardi’s axiom (which rang so true when he coached the Packers to victories in Super Bowls I and II). Increased scoring makes the game more exciting for television viewers, the League’s theory goes, and the ratings bear that out.

Narrowing the Line

The emphasis on scoring has even bled into the college game, which has changed the way teams recruit, and funnels the best athletes into playing wide receiver instead of, say, linebacker or safety. This also has an effect on the way teams draft players out of college. Cornerbacks – who are responsible for covering wide receivers – are now considered blue-chip prospects, as are defensive linemen who can disrupt the passing game by getting to the opponent’s quarterback.

The emphasis on offensive production makes it that much harder on those who make NFL predictions for a living. Teams can put up a lot of points in a short span of time, with only a few teams possessing truly great defenses. This has narrowed the point spreads offered by the sports books, and made gamblers of all stripes narrow their eyes to slits as they study the line. The unpredictable nature of the modern pro football game has injected excitement into the lives of both fans and “experts” alike.

80-27More and more western tourists are discovering the beauty, the other-worldliness and just the plain fun of traveling to the Far East. Welcomed by warm, friendly residents, there is no reason not to feel “at home” in this naturally gorgeous part of the world. And the island of Koh Samui, off the east coast of Thailand, is no different. Famous for its white, sandy beaches, jungles and ancient sites, there are so many different Koh Samui Tours that it would take numerous trips here to experience them all.

Where to Go, What to See

The hardest part of selecting a Koi Samui Tour is picking which one, and that isn’t easy. Many tourists come to this part of the world to enjoy the water activities. And snorkeling is at the top of the list. There are several snorkeling tours. Most include pick-up in a speed boat and after a ninety minute exhilarating trip your at Koh Nang Yuan. Here you’ll snorkel in the clearest water you’ve ever seen and come in contact with fantastic marine life and acres of coral.
After an experience on the sea, how about a tour inland to the lush jungles of Koh Samui. Here you get to take a brief elephant trek, see a baby elephant show, breathtaking vistas, and lots of clever monkeys. Over the mountains you go, to a remote waterfall, visit some of the locals busy at work making rubber and pay your respects to the ancient massive Buddha.
How about some kayaking at Angthong Marine Park. You’ll be picked up on a private fully stocked boat, breakfast included, and whisked to the National Marine Park. Here you will spend the morning kayaking along the shore of Koh Mae Ko. Once beached, you’ll head up into the forest that takes you to the “Green Lagoon”, for a stunning view of the island. Retreat once again to the beach for some late day snorkeling, kayaking or just sunbathing.

There is no shortage of Koh Samui Tours and each tour promises to give you at least one memory to last a lifetime.

bikeOne of the oldest forms of transportation in this day and age is the bicycle. The bicycle has been around longer than the automobile and is still the cheapest way to get around especially in large cities like Los Angeles or New York where commuting in a car can be a pain if you really have to.

Electric Bicycles

Riding a bike can be a great form of recreation and transportation but it can also be tedious at times. That’s where electric bikes come into play. Electric bikes are just like ordinary bikes except that they work on batteries and can be recharged using different methods such as breaking and pedaling. Electric bikes have a wheel hub motor that powers them. This motor that is found on the back of the bicycle gives you more advantages than ridging a regular bicycle like a higher rate of traction.

How Fast Can They Go?

A typical electric bicycle can reach a power of 750 watts and a speed up to 20 miles per hour. One of the big differences with electric bicycles compared to regular bikes is that they are heavier due to the batteries but they are worth it. A serious electric bicycle enthusiast can increase the speed of their bike by increasing the size of the bikes motor.

Some dedicated bicyclists might scoff at the idea of riding an electric bicycle because of the lack of effort in riding an electric bicycle compared to a regular bicycle but once they hit the road with their electric bike and have the ability to use it as an alternative source of transportation they will become a big supporter of electric bikes.

Electric bicycles should be looked at as a viable solution for the fight against global warming as well because they are more affordable than the typical hybrid electric car and can easily fit into the budget of anyone who is looking for a new source of transportation.
