The Invisible Book Signing

Once upon a time there was a young royal scribe, a joint heir with the King of Kings. This humble basketball decided it would be great to have a book signing in the kingdom's public library. She worked to reach her readers. She called for the royal announcer to blow his horn publicly so readers far and wide would hear the news. She sent out invitational announcement to nurses through out the royal kingdom.

For many days she prepared for the 4 hour event.

The day arrived and she and her husband traveled to the near basketball city. When they arrived at the royal library the royal librarian was not very receptive, but cordial. No posters could be basketball up to announce the event. It must have been a king's decree across the land. The couple went to the room at the top of the stairs, set up the books and free giveaways, but alas, no one came.

The husband felt sorry for the scribe so he picked her a royal bouquet from the library garden. The guards were unaware.

The scribe picked a book off the shelf and began to read; the husband went outside on the beautiful day and cleaned the carriage. Waiting, and waiting, finally her two greatest fans arrived. Her parents, who also traveled far for the event.

Together they waited until their royal bellies started to growl. They loaded up and went to the local International House of Pancakes and had ummy pancakes and a very nice visit.

The parents and the husband were afraid that the scribe would be disappointed. But, lo and behold, she wasn't. She thought it funny that she gave a party and no one came. As she ate her pancakes it occurred to her that this must be a royal rite of passage for scribes. She counted it all joy.

After the couple had gotten back to their humble abode in the forest the messenger rang. Her Daddy had stopped at the royal Wal-Mart where their cousin is the manager. Her parents were in need of a new coffee brewing pot and were able to visit with the cousin who was working. The cousin was happy to find out that his cousin was a published scribe. Her Daddy was happy to give him a card for the scribe.

The cousin sent message to the scribe and ordered a book for his sister who is studying to be a nurse. The scribe told him that she would bring it to him on Monday after the Sabbath on Sunday.

The scribe had an idea. What if she can get her royal cousin to stock the book in his royal Wal-Mart?

So she sat down and wrote a message to her royal writing group, Son Rise Writers, asking them to pray to the King of Kings that this might come to pass if it be His Will.

The moral of the story is: Count it all joy.

(Well ain't that the silliest thing you have ever read?)

The battle of Troy ensued, as ancient Greek poet Homer writes down, as Trojan king Paris abducted Helen, the beautiful wife of the king of Sparta.

The Greeks were winning in the beginning and thus they were confident enough that within a few weeks the war would end. But they were not right at all. For more than nine years the war continued.

Patrolus, the sword brother and friend of invincible Achilles, died as the first hero. Still Achilles did not agree to fight since with Agamemnon, the high king, he had an argument.

But Patrolus was quite confident that only if Achilles came forward to join the battle the Greeks could come out victorious. As Achilles did not oblige him, Patrolus sought permission to ride out in the armor of Achilles so that the Trojans could be cowed down. To that Achilles gave his nod. Immediately Patrolus rode out into the battlefield and the Trojans presumed him to be Achilles, the immortal.

But as a young Trojan fighter threw off the helmet of Patrolus it was clear that Achilles was not that warrior. As they got rid of fear they did not delay to kill Patrolus cruelly.

The grief-torn Achilles went almost mad, wept and pulled out his hair. Next he did swear the he would finish off Hector, the Trojan leader in the war and Pariss own brother who had killed Patrolus. Achilles killed Hector and over the whole battleground ground dragged his body.

Ultimately the Trojans lost the war once drew in the wooden horse with the false notion that total victory was within their grip.

Hang Time - Is There Such a Thing?

Anyone that watches basketball has seen this (probably many times). Michael Jordan (or another favorite player) is running full speed down court, he jumps, soaring through the air for a tremendous slam dunk. And while he is doing it, the announcers are heaping praise on him for his "amazing hang time". The way they make it sound, he just stays up in the air while other players jump in their attempts to block the shot and fall back to earth as they watch him sail on.

Is this what really happens? If it is, what secret ability do these players have that let them do this while others cannot? If this is not what really happens, why does it seem that some players can indeed stay in the air longer than other players can?

It all happens so quickly in reality. Are we really seeing what we think we are seeing? Since this act of running and jumping is a "physical" activity, we will take a look at the "physics" involved in jumping. Are there things a player can do to help him stay in the air longer?

The law's of physics have not been changed for basketball players. As a player is coming down the court and going up for a slam dunk, they apply a force (with the muscles of their legs, ankles, and feet) against the floor. The floor pushes back with an "equal force" that propels them into the air. But one thing that we do know for sure - "what goes up must come down" (physics again). The force that the player exerted is not enough to overcome gravity, so they are pulled back down.

Why, then, is it that we say some people can stay in the air longer? What, if basketball can you do to have a longer "hang time?" To find out the answers and get a basketball detailed explanation of what REALLY happens, please check out the post on our blog at http://verticaljump.einfohound.com/free-vertical-jump-info/hang-time-is-there-such-a-thing/ We also have other information on how to increase your vertical jump including reviews of programs and basketball that are available to help you
