Paris Travel Information and Travel Guide - France Paris has a timeless familiarity for first-time and frequent visitors, with instantly recognisable architectural icons, along with exquisite cuisine, chic boutiques and priceless artistic treasures.

The Great Geek Manual » The United States’ Most Beautiful Libraries Back in July 2009, I posted a photo gallery of The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries, mainly for my own gratification. There are few things I enjoy as a hardcore bibliophile more than a good book, but when I’m not reading, browsing photos of books comes in a close second. For about eighteen months, the gallery was pretty much ignored, the same as all of my other posts, but a few days ago StumbleUpon kicked in. Since then, traffic has been flooding and with it, a lot of suggestions as to other libraries deserving of recognition.

boxing training What is it about boxing training that makes a boxer one of the most physically fit athletes in the world? What allows a boxer to exert maximum amount of energy throwing hundreds of punches and still have the energy to stand? The answer is simple...they trained hard for it! A boxer must train harder and longer then their competition, they must be willing to push their bodies further then they thought possible. Throughout my website you have come a long ways you now know how to jab, cross, hook and know the basics of boxing. This section is not going to offer any videos or new radical training ideas.
