Another Exceptional Post by this awesome woman!

Extract:

Everyone comes into this world with a clear mind, and a belief that everything is possible. All is positive and well.

Remember as a child, you could do and become everything, without any boundaries!  As we grow up however, we pick up beliefs, fears and limitations from our surroundings and peers that gradually form the person we are today. A lot of these beliefs unfortunately are negative and as we build our lives they limit us in our actions and being.

Xtreme Bowling is more than just showing up at your local alley and bowling in the dark to loud music, food, and alcohol.

Oh, it’s so much more than that…

The Xtreme Bowling Association was founded on the idea that Xtreme Bowling is, at its very core, pushing the limits of ‘average Joe bowler’ to achieve the incredible. The Xtreme Bowling Association is seeking to transform ordinary ‘lights out/music up’ Xtreme Bowling into a form of entertainment that transcends all media and is widely accessible to everyone!

With characters personifying the over-the-top world of semi-professional bowling and the bowling superfan, the XBA uses:

  • hyper cool non-traditional bowling gear to make a statement
  • introduces the hot women of bowling to show the true sex appeal of this dynamic sport
  • features oddly compelling soap opera-esque story lines centered around charactercentric rivalries and the bowling excitement that follows them

Be a part of bowling entertainment and excitement as we seek to transform the sport into the ultimate form of entertainment! Be a part of the Xtreme Bowling Association!

What are we looking for?

  • Bowling Fans! Fans make the XBA strong, so you’re very, very important to us!
  • Bowlers with a knack for acting! We want to transform you into an XBA character or team captain for the XBA web series! Join our Los Angeles League!
  • Videographers who like “The Big Lebowski”! Just because!
  • Women! Because nothing makes guys want to bowl more than the liquid hot women of bowling!
  • Bowlers who could be Models! Because we got Xtreme Bowling Gear coming later this year and we’d like a good picture or two!

Sound like fun?

Crime in South Africa is worse than war

Have you lived in South Africa? Have you been a victim of crime? Have you had your home burnt down? Has your car been stolen and then found 2 years later in a storage container ready to be shipped overseas – AFTER the police declared it has been recovered burnt out? Has your 13 year old daughter been raped by a 26 year old man of different culture?

If not, then in the wise words of Abe Lincoln, “say nothing and let people think you’re an idiot than open your mouth and prove them right”

you should read some of the comments on this page…

CurrClick – St Aiden’s Homeschool, South Africa – Motor Skills Development, A Teacher/Parent Guide & Children’s Activity Book.

The development of fundamental movement skills is considered by many as a key objective of physical education programs because it increases the options for participation in games, sports and other physical activities.

“The development of mastery of fundamental motor skills among children and adolescents through quality physical education is a potentially important contributor to successful and satisfying participation in sport and other physical activities. Fundamental motor skills are motor activities with specific observable patterns and are prerequisites to the advanced skills employed in sports, games, dance, gymnastics and other physical activities (Booth and Holland, 1999, Buschner, 1994, Salmon et al., 2005, O’Connor, 2000).

This book covers almost every conceivable aspect regarding the development and enhancement of Fine and Gross Motor Skills in children, adolescents and even in some cases adults. Guidelines for teaching and assessments are provided, along with hundreds of fun activities for little learners right up to middle elementary school learners. The benefits of encouragement, the teaching of self-worth and good qualities and characteristics, hand/eye coordination, physical movement and development are all discussed in great detail in this book, with references supplied at the end of the book.

Due to the incredibly large amount of information and activities, this ebook has been divided into categories. Although the main ebook is some 242 pages in length , it is embedded with an additional 5 PDF ebooks (just click on the links within the main ebook to open the new PDF), totalling 509 pages of excellent and vital information, guidelines, activities, advice and resources.
