Author bio:
David Villanueva (1951- ) was born in Birmingham, England, where he grew up. In the early 1970s his mother bought him a copy of Ted Fletcher’s book A Fortune Under Your Feet, which, together with David’s great interest in history inspired him to buy a metal detector and take up treasure hunting as a hobby. Family stories about the origins and history behind David’s Spanish surname also spawned the hobby of genealogy. A career move brought David to Whitstable in Kent, England, and it was here that David’s love of history research developed into great success both in metal detecting and family history research. A little later David felt the urge to put pen to paper and started writing articles for the two British metal detecting magazines - Treasure Hunting and The Searcher – which have published more than two dozens of David’s articles between them. Success in writing articles soon led to David’s first book: The Successful Treasure Hunter’s Essential Dowsing Manual: How to Easily Develop Your Latent Skills to Find Treasure in Abundance, published in both digital format and paperback. To date, David has written a further nine books in the metal detecting, treasure hunting and family history genres.

He has written three books, All Time Greatest Super Bowl, All Time Greatest Stanley Cup, and Computer Literacy and Use. Today, he is a retired Social Studies teacher from Brooklyn. Because he never went on a date in his adolescence, Harry had plenty of time to research useless facts and figures on everything ranging from history to pop culture. Moonlighting as a hockey scoreboard operator and baseball beer vendor, Harry still had ample time to collect data. Yet somehow, he got married. In 1977, Jeremy was born. Rather than being raised on a steady diet of carrots and peas, baby Jeremy was forced to learn facts from textbooks. His first word was, “Uzbekistan.” Throughout his childhood, Jeremy had a hard time making friends. When other kids wanted to play baseball, he wanted to instruct them about Henry VIII’s six wives. After a failed career as a standup comic and broadcaster, in 2000 Jeremy fittingly became a Social Studies teacher. Today he brings trivia to the next generation.

As a passionate advocate of student-athletes, I used sports as a vehicle for developing strong character traits and earning a quality college education. My personal and professional road to success has been paved with a balanced combination of excelling in sports and academics. I attended West Charlotte High School in my hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina where I was highly sought after, an All-American student-athlete who gained the attention of college coaches from top-notch schools for my stellar athletic ability and strong academic credentials I then attended the University of Florida where I anchored the Gator’s offensive line, helping the team win the 1996 college football national championship. Upon graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Sports Administration, I was drafted in the 1st round of the 1998 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders. After a seven year career as a starting offensive lineman, which included a trip to Super Bowl XXXVII, I retired back to my hometown. I maintained my connection to sports by becoming a high school football coach, and later a Regional Scouting Director for the country’s top high school recruiting firms, Collegiate Sports of America. As a very busy inspirational speaker, and recruiter, I consult with numerous student-athletes and have helped many of them earn an athletic or academic scholarship for college. I hosts camps and clinics and travel the country speaking to parents, coaches and student-athletes to help them master the college recruiting process.
Boys look at the Stars - Ping-Pong by Enzo Pettinelli Boys look at the Stars - Ping-Pong by Enzo Pettinelli Jan. 16, 2012 Free! 34887 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Enzo Pettinelli at 8 years old begins to play ping-pong in the parish church of San Martino, in Senigallia. When playing double matches with his twin brother Giovanni as a partner, they are invincible. Enzo, like all children, plays football, volleyball, swims, skates. In skating he is 4th at the National Championship. When he is older he dedicates himself to ping-pong, right up to the National championship of B division. Then he feels that ping-pong can be played in a different way. He is fascinated by the musicality of the rhythm and by the beauty of the technical gesture. He leaves the agonistic activity and dedicates his time teaching this Sport. Three young lyceum students follow him: one of them, Domenico Ubaldi, will become later the President of “Tennistavolo Senigallia”, a club founded by them in 1959 and in 2010 rewarded by the CONI with the Gold Star for Sports merit. The first Italian titles arrive. For the 100th anniversary of the reunification of Italy, two youngsters of Pettinelli’s school are called to join the national team at the International exhibition in Tourin in 1961. After this event the parish priest of San Martino, Father Giuliano Grassi, covers the courtyard and creates a little gymnasium. A sales representative of sport equipment, Neri Ravini, accidentally sees the gymnasium, he gets touched by seeing so many little children around just one “rickety” table, and gives 3 bright new tables as a gift. The game, based on aesthetic beauty and on musicality, gives more incentive and new Italian titles. A sponsor, Otello Montesi, gives economic help, without asking nothing back. The results come and bring the Club at the first place in Italy. The school, already opened, opens further, and receives players from all Italy. Including players that play or have played against each other . Pettinelli will be many times the Italian National team’s coach, coach of the Republic of San Marino. Honorary Member of the Republic of Malta, for the given collaboration. Among his pupils we remember: Costantini, record of presence with the National team; Moretti, Cardinali and Ricci that will be many times at the World Championship, European Championship and at the Mediterranean Games. The work and passion of this “Great Teacher” for ping-pong, has inspired the film director Claudio Colombo that has realized a feature film, “Shot”, already winner at two festivals, dedicated to him. Among the actors we remember Enrico Beruschi, that has skilfully interpreted Enzo Pettinelli’s part. ITALIANO: Enzo Pettinelli a 8 anni inizia a giocare a ping-pong nella parrocchia di San Martino, nella città di Senigallia. Nelle partite di doppio in coppia con il fratello gemello Giovanni, sono imbattibili. Enzo, come tutti i bambini, gioca a calcio, pallavolo, nuota, pattina. Nel pattinaggio e’ 4° ai Campionati Nazionali. Quando è più grande si dedica al ping-pong, fino al Campionato Nazionale di serie B. Poi sente che il ping-pong può essere giocato in modo diverso. E’ affascinato dalla musicalità del ritmo e dalla bellezza del gesto tecnico. Abbandona l’attività agonistica e si dedica all’insegnamento di questo Sport. Lo seguono tre giovani liceali; uno di loro, Domenico Ubaldi, diventerà Presidente del “Tennistavolo Senigallia”, società da loro fondata nel 1959 e premiata dal CONI nel 2010 con la Stella d’Oro al merito sportivo . Arrivano i primi titoli italiani. In occasione del Centenario dell’Unità d’Italia, due giovani della scuola di Pettinelli vengono convocati in azzurro agli Internazionali di Torino del 1961. In seguito il parroco di San Martino, Padre Giuliano Grassi, fa coprire il cortile e crea una palestra. Un rappresentante di articoli sportivi, Neri Ravini , capita per caso nella palestra, si commuove nel vedere tanti bambini intorno a un solo tavolo “ sgangherato “, e regala 3 tavoli nuovi di zecca. Il gioco, basato sulla bellezza estetica e sulla musicalità, produce stimoli e nuovi titoli italiani. Uno sponsor, Otello Montesi, fornisce l’aiuto economico, senza chiedere nulla in cambio. Arrivano i risultati che portano la Società al primo posto in Italia. La scuola, già aperta, si apre ulteriormente, e ospita giocatori da tutta Italia. Compresi avversari che giocano o hanno gareggiato contro. Pettinelli sarà più volte tecnico della Nazionale Italiana, tecnico della Repubblica di San Marino. Membro onorario della Repubblica di Malta, per la collaborazione prestata. Tra i suoi allievi si citano: Costantini, record di presenze in azzurro; Moretti, Cardinali e Ricci parteciperanno più volte a Mondiali, Europei ed ai Giochi del Mediterraneo. Il lavoro e la passione di questo “Grande Maestro” per il ping-pong, ha ispirato il regista Claudio Colombo che ha realizzato un cortometraggio, “Shot”, vincitore già di due festival, dedicato proprio a lui. Tra gli attori ricordiamo Enrico Beruschi, che ha interpretato magistralmente la parte di Enzo Pettinelli.

Author bio:
Craig Boulden was born and raised in the wilds of Wyoming. During his twenty-five years as a professional fishing and hunting guide, his angling adventures have taken him from the rugged mountains of western Wyoming, to the arid canyon lands of northern Arizona, and to the untamed watersheds of Alaska’s last frontier. As an out-camp guide for king fishing, he lived in the Alaskan bush for ten years with the bears and foxes, and averaged at least 500 kings in his boat each season. Boulden’s wizardry with a rod and reel have been written up in Western Outdoors, Western Angler, Gray’s Sporting Journal, and The Arizona Republic, and he has been featured on the Outdoor Channel’s “Fly Fish Television Magazine” show. In 1998, he captured the “Best in the West” fly casting championship and, in 1991, the title of #2 Team of the Year on the Wyoming Walleye Circuit. In the last few years, Craig has extended his quest for angling adventure into blue water, becoming one of the elite group of fishermen to have landed bonefish, tarpon, dorado, barracuda, and sailfish on his own hand-tied flies.

A keen hunter, tramper and motorcylist along with a knowledge of electronics, electricity and computer systems enable him to write his material from a position of practical experience evident in his novel "Predestined" and his latest book "Confessions of a Kiwi Motorcyclist."
