Coolest Guys

Monday, June 28th, 2010

If I am to analyze the phrase “<strong>coolest guys</strong>” from the grammatical point of view I would say that this is the superlative of the adjective “cool” Any way, superlative is a degree of comparison for adjectives, so it is normal to have some terms to compare, for example the coolest guy on the planet or the coolest guy in my school. So I will talk about these different categories at a time.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
First of all in order to be the <strong>coolest guy</strong> on the planet you must be well known all over the world and you can do that only if you are a public person like an actor, a football player or a very influential political from a very powerful country. You can say for example that Obama is the coolest guy who has ever stayed in the White House. Even the term “cool” is relative, as it does not have a clear definition.

If you look it up in  a dictionary you will see that “cool” is described as the opposite of warm, but here it is used as a colloquial term meaning hot, interesting, nice-looking or out of the ordinary. So I guess that being cool means to have something to differentiate you from the others around you, to make you special either in a good or a bad way, because bad guys cal be cool, too. Let’s take George Clooney and Ozzy Osborne – they are both really cool, but really different as the first one is always the good guy and Ozzy is simply crazy.

The coolest guy also depends on the period because each period in time and each geographical area has its coolest guy. Alexander the Great was the <strong>coolest guy </strong>of his time in Ancient Greece and Lord Byron for example was considered the <strong>coolest guy</strong> in Middle Aged England and he started fashion trends and literary trends, too.

Clark Gable or Cary Grant were cool guys , too, in their young years, and so was James Dean, Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison, John Lennon or even JFK. They all has that spark and charm and some personality features that made them the coolest guys of their generations. Now we have examples like Edward Norton, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Bruce Willis, Leonardio di Caprio, Al Pacino and the younger Robert Pattinsonwho started a whole hysteria with the Twilight Saga movies or even Michael Jackson.

Until now I spoke only about international stars, but you can be the coolest guy in your school or town for example if you have what it takes to charm people around you – not only girls, but guys, too. Here are some tips if you want to be cool
- try to be friend with everybody and do not bet on the “bad guy” card as not all the people like this feature
- socialize – make phone calls, go to the disco and club, throw funny parties and enjoy every moment spent with people around you
- have a very good personal hygiene and wear fashionable clothes that advantage you, try not to be very obvious though
- make sure your skin , especially the face is clean , without spots and pimples, as this kind of guys are not that popular
- be confident, but do not show off
- get a cool haircut that is both fashionable and suits you
-  try to find a personal style in everything; do not just copy a famous rock star or something.

Coolest And Fastest Police Car Ever

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Cars are far beyond being just means of transport. They are loved and used for showing off, for transport and for the owner’s ego, too. But even if <a href=”http://www.coolgadgetconcept.com/the-coolest-cars-ever/” target=”_blank”>these cars </a>are capable of reaching very high speeds, this is not legal, so you can’t speed up when you are driving in your neighbourhood, but only on highways and even there there’s a speed limit. So I guess the guys who have so powerful cars are in fact a bit frustrated and they break the law every time they get the chance hoping they will not be caught.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
That is the main reason why police cars must be faster or at least as fast as those cars belonging to criminals, because otherwise the policemen will not be able to catch the bad guys. But there is no such thing as an universal model of a police car. It’s up to the local authorities to invest some money in the car model they want to use as police car in their community. And, of course , they choose  the model that is compatible with their finances and also with their purposes of catching more criminals and decrease the criminality in the area. Some choose fast, but not so spectacular cars, but some choose to have the <strong>coolest and fastest police</strong> <strong>cars ever</strong>.

Of course the<strong> idea of coolest and fastest police car ever</strong> is pretty subjective, as tastes may differ a lot, but the point is that you can find many cool car models being used as police cars and only painted afterwards with the colors that represent the law force in a certain state and also they are added the specific equipment like the lights and radio transmitter and all. Or you can divide them into two parts: the coolest and the fastest because some people think the fastest cars are not necessarily the coolest.

For example some of the oldest models of police cars are considered the coolest, too. Here you can see a relative top with these coolest police cars: International Paddy Wagon used in Baltimore, Chevy Bel Air used in Texas, Border Patrol Dune Buggy used in Arizona, Ford Fairlane, Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Coronet used in California as police car, Ford mustang LX used in Texas, Dodge Charger Police Edition used in Michigan, Dodge Diplomat or Fury used in New York and Ford Crown Victoria Interceptor used about everywhere. Of course these are just a few examples of the <strong>coolest and fastest police cars ever</strong>.

But like I said tastes differ and I found some other examples of police cars that can very well be considered the coolest of their type: 1988 Ford Mustang, Mini Cooper,CMC Tiffany, Global Electric Motorcar used in Brighton UK, Hummer, Jaguar XF, Carbon Motors E7, Porche 911 and many others that were only designed to be used for police cars or maybe they were really used. The fastest police cars can be considered , no doubt, Chevrolet Caprice, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ford Police Interceptor, Caparo T1, Porsche 911.

Coolest Batting Helmets

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

I don’t know about other nations, but Americans like sports very much, especially baseball that is considered to be one of the most popular sports. Children start playing softball and baseball since very young and they are almost always encouraged to play it both during their classes at school, but also to go to a sports club during their free time and even to play with their family members at weekends or during holidays.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
But because these sports use a hard ball to play with, they need protection, especially for the head because strong blows to the head can be really dangerous. That is why they are taught to wear batting helmets ever since they start playing in order to avoid any injury. These helmets are just a part of the equipment, as they must protect other parts of the body, too.

Of course when you are a teenager or even a child, looks are very important for you and that is why all those who play softball or baseball want to have the coolest batting helmets in order to attract all eyes and to make them cool, too. There are a lot of companies that produce these batting helmets, each of them offering attractive designs and colours and also good prices to make sure they have nice sales.

It is also important for such a helmet to be resistant and protect the head, but also have a nice design and fit the head because if it lolls on your head, it’s no use. That is why all these helmets are available in different sizes and you have to choose the perfect size for the person who will wear it. Well, the only problem might be that all these companies are specialized in mass production, so they produce lots of similar products every day.

That is why they choose simple models, normally in only one colour, without any fancy models and things drawn on them, as this makes prices raise and also slows down the production process. The most appreciated companies that produce batting helmets are Easton, Mizuno, Rawlings, Rip-It, Schutt, Wilson, Worth and many others.

So if you really want the <strong>coolest batting helmets</strong> and want something more special and personalized, you can always try an airbrush shop, where you will have the helmet painted in a model of your choice. It will certainly make you look special once the airbrushing is done. You can find online stores stat sell the helmets already painted in camouflage colors or in the different colors of your favorite baseball team. Just take your time to follow the links, looks at the models and choose the one you like best, compare prices and then order online and in three-five days you will get your favorite helmet delivered at home: www.homerunmonkey.com, www.securedata.net, www.hitrunscore.com, www.softballhelmets.net, www.shopwiki.com, www.baseballexp.com.

And if you still haven’t found the<strong> coolest batting helmets</strong> for your taste, you can try using your imagination and drawing skills and buy a spray can that is normally used for graffiti and air spray your helmet yourself. I bet you will be really pleased, especially if you have some skills in art and drawing. So good luck with the design activity and let me know know about the result.

Coolest Billiard Shot Ever

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

<a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_billiards” target=”_blank”>Billiard</a> was invented by the English lords and it was meant to be an entertaining activity. They used a table covered with a green cloth and sixteen balls that were colored differently: one black and a white one that belonged to none of the players and the rest divided in two for each opponent.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
Any way, the players use a cue to hit the white ball and a colored one with it and the final purpose is to put all the ball in the pockets and the black ball at the end. Whoever does this first wins the match. Now there are different kinds of billiards, it is also called pool, especially in America and it also has a “half-brother” called snooker where the rules and the table and also the balls differ a bit, but the idea is basically the same.

Any way, this is not just a game you play for fun, it is actually a very clever game that requires all your attention, <a href=”http://www.billiardsforum.info/pool-playing-tips/billiard-shot-planning.asp” target=”_blank”>planning</a> and also skill because if you do not have all of them you just can’t win. People who are passionate about this sport spend long hours practicing because you know “practice makes perfect”. They also need good trainers to teach them how to think ahead of the opponent and to plan every hit in advance. All these make it pretty similar to chess, so it’s also a mind game.

The best pool players know the laws of physiscs, the law of action and interaction and know exactly which way a ball will go if hit in a certain spot. So they will know exactly where to stop the ball, preparing the field for the next shot. If you add an incredible skill and accuracy to these features, you get some really good billiards players that are able to get incredible shots and amaze the audience. Actually there is a trickshot championship just like in snooker where famous pool players gather to show their talent and also the <strong>coolest billiard shots ever</strong>. Sometimes you may think their shots defy the gravity laws and the ball has a mind of its own, but its all about skill and practice.

The coolest shots make the balls jump on the table, go around the other balls and perform the most amazing moves. The players use the cue and the table for this and if the shot is right the ball can spin on the table and make all the other balls fall in the pockets and clear the table. Some of these trick shots may also involve the use of the ball support, cue or even some domino pieces. The result is all the more spectacular.

Actually <strong>the coolest billiard shot ever</strong> did involve like five pool tables and lots of <a href=”http://megstermeter.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/fun-friday-coolest-billiard-shot-ever/” target=”_blank”>domino pieces</a> that were hit by a ball and then by the so famous domino effect made all the other balls on the table enter the table pockets.
