The Philosophy Of Life
" Climbing is my passion, my philosophy of life. Although I suffer from vertigo, although my accidents left me disabled up to 60%, I have become the best solo climber.
Now, as a solo climber and as a skilled speaker, here’s the message I wish to send to people. We set ourselves limits , but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.
Welcome to my website, let me share my love of adventure with you ! I do think that sometimes faith can move mountains... "

Celebrate The Life Of Sir Peter Blake
Sir Peter was a very special person to many people around the world, highly regarded because of the man he was, because of everything he had achieved and because of everything he represented.
He had left behind his many major achievements in sport to dedicate himself to creating greater awareness of the need to take better care of the world in which we live. And, typical of the man, he was giving it his heart and soul along with all those other virtues with which he had become synonymous - total passion, charisma, commitment, leadership and integrity.
We are struggling to come to terms with his loss and our hearts go out to his immediate family in the United Kingdom - Lady Pippa, Sarah-Jane and James - and to his mother Joyce and family back in New Zealand.

MythBusters (Top sites)
Special-effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman.
What's a MythBuster?
So. You're minding your own business, filling up your gas tank, when your cell phone rings. Hmmm. Should you answer it? Because you've heard you shouldn't use cell phones near gas stations since they can produce small sparks that can ignite big fires.
But wait. Could that actually be true?
Sounds like a job for MythBusters!
It's a tough job separating truth from urban legend, but the MythBusters are here to serve. Each week special-effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman take on three myths and use modern-day science to show you what's real and what's fiction.
That's right, they do more than explain how something may or may not be scientifically possible. Through trial and error they actually demonstrate it.

Probably The Best Artists In The World For Choppers!
 
The Tale Of The Teutuls
Paul Teutul Sr's love of riding and fabricating custom motorcycles dates back to the 70's, inspired by such films as "Easy Rider" and Marlon Brando's quint essential "The Wild One". Since then he's worked in steel fabrication, nurturing his Orange County Ironworks into the booming commercial business it is today.
But it was Orange County Ironworks' very success that allowed Paul Sr. to pursue his passion for building motorcycles in his downtime, and in 1999 he recruited his son Paul Jr. to become the chief fabricator and designer for the new enterprise: Orange County Choppers. OCC jumped on the scene at Daytona Biketoberfest 1999 with "True Blue" a classic chopper built in Paul Sr.'s basement.
Today Paul's Three sons all work in either his steel business or Bike Shop. Danny, 26, is the general manager of Orange County Ironworks and the father of a 2-year-old daughter, Gabriella. Paul Jr., 28, is the chief fabricator at Orange County Choppers. Michael, 24, answers phones and orders parts at OCC. Daughter Kristin, 21, attend nursing school in Rochester, N.Y.

Exploring The Space
Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many nonaerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos.
