Ultamate Frisbee

What makes ultamate frisbee so much fun?

Ultamate Frizbee is a sport played in a field similar to a Football field only you don't have yardage lines and the field length is different. In Ultamate it is like you are playing football except that it is continuous (no plays or downs), there is no tackling but you can guard your opponents, there is no running with the Frisbee, and there aren't any rules against lateral passing and such. This sport is appealing to many different groups of people because to play a simple game is not hard, but their are so many different play styles and levels of play. Of coarse the competitivness is a major factor in why it is so appealing, but there are other reasons that make a game fun. Some of the aspects that make it so enjoyable are that there are so many ways to pass a frizbee, the fast pace, and the hangtime of the frisbee makes it intense.

The many different methods of passing the frisbee have been developed for a person to successfuly pass the frisbee past your opponent, who is guarding you, to your team who is trying to get open for a successful catch. Some of the ways to throw are: the traditional throw- with your wrist down, you spin frisbee away from the opposite side of your body that you are holding it with, the thumb throw- your wrist is up, you hold it away from your body to the side you are holding it with, your fingers on top your thumb under, the thumb and wrist motion flicks it away, then another is the same thing with your fingers and thumb swiched places. These diffrent ways of throwing gives the game many styles and things to learn.

The fast pace makes your adrenalin kick in. You dash away for an open pass, your guard despretly trys to get you back under his cover, but your team mate has thrown the pass just in time, you run into the endzone and jump for the frisbee and your fingers close around it. The exiliration is impossible to decribe.

The combination of these things make it an awsome game. Ultamate frisbee is such a great game that it should be made an official high school sport. Because I would play it.

Why are people afraid of drinking raw milk? -maybe it's not safe.

My Family has two milk cows that we get fresh, un-pasturized, un-homogenized milk. We think that it is better for us to drink, and research has proven that it is in fact much more healthy than pasturized, homogenized milk. But most people that I know, who I have asked if they want some milk, have said something like "gross, raw milk?" or if they are polite "no, I don't think I'd like it." So the question remains, why are people afraid of drinking raw milk? Some of the things I have heard people say have led me to believe they think, it's not clean, maybe it tastes "bad", or it's weird because it's not "store bought".

Why do people think it's not clean? They have imagined this because they have thought "why would they pasturize it in the first place?" I have heard that people started pasturizing milk because some milk was giving people malaria. The daries thought it was some of their cows that were sick, and to be safe all milk needed to be pasturized. Later they did more study and found that it was some of the workers who milked the cows had malaria and had left the germs in the milk. But it was too late, everyone had heard that the milk was making people sick, so the daries started pasturizing their milk.

People think it tastes "bad" because not many people drink fresh milk, and just like other foods or drinks, if it is out of the ordinary people think it's worse than something that many people eat or drink. Also the word people use to describe un-pasturized, un-homogenized milk is "raw". When people use the word "raw" they are usually talking about raw meat or eggs, and raw meat or raw eggs do not taste good. So when people say something is raw it usually is supposed to be cooked.

In our generation most of what we eat comes right out of a grocery store and something like milk is hardly ever produced at home. So the fact that it is not "store bought" is different, so in the eyes of onlookers it might as well be worse. In addition things out of a grocery store are always supposedly safe, and when it is not out of a grocery store it has the opposite effect that maybe it is not safe.
