Three Tales of Extreme Breakdown Survival

Breaking down is not normally a matter of life and death. In most cases, you phone a professional, wait in the car for an hour or two, and enjoy the tow back to civilization. In a handful of cases, though, vehicular failures have become a struggle for survival. All it takes is the wrong fault at the wrong time. So here are a few stories of motorists who suddenly found themselves battling to stay alive. When Cynthia Hoover from Colorado got into her car to go home one evening she did not bargain for what was to happen next. While driving along one of the main roads running through the Rocky Mountains, she swerved to avoid a herd of deer.

GPS Technology Making Golf a Simpler Game

In the past, playing golf was a relatively sedentary experience that had little or nothing to do with the advances in technology. Needless to say, the clubs and balls that are used incorporate the most up to date features available on the market, but the average player would know very little about the processes that are involved. Generally, they just tend to walk up to the ball and hit it, without worrying much about the research and development work that goes on behind the lines. In the recent years, however, many players have begun to embrace global positioning systems (GPS) in a bid to ascertain correct yardages around the course. There are a number of satellite navigation units currently available in the market, and each one of them offers players an opportunity to find out exactly how far they are from the center of the green. This can make a huge difference to the overall ability of golfers at either end of the 'handicap' spectrum. Every regular player know...
