In Hollywood ghost stories, the spirits are nearly always malevolent. For dramatic purposes, the vengeful ghosts are intent on causing harm to the living, either by attacking them physically or scaring them so badly that they want to jump out a window.

There are many types of waves and surf breaks. Waves break in different directions with different personalities and for a myriad of different reasons. Wind and swell directions as well as bottom contour all contribute variables to the nuanced formula that equals the complexity that is a surfable wave.

The popular “Deck the Halls” song is a Christmas carol that dates back to the sixteenth century. It wasn’t always associated with Christmas, however; the melody comes from a Welsh winter song called “Nos Galan,” which is actually about New Year’s Eve. The first time “Deck the Halls” was published with English lyrics was in 1862, in Welsh Melodies, Vol. 2, featuring Welsh lyrics by John Jones and English lyrics written by Thomas Oliphant....

When teaching adults to swim, two issues are key. First, adults may be embarrassed that they have not yet learned to swim and they may lack confidence in their abilities. Second, adults tend to be very analytical and concerned about the details, which can hinder mastering the basics. This is quite different than teaching children’s swim lessons — kids just want to swim, play, and have fun; they don’t worry about the little things....

Payne Stewart was a colorful dresser and a major golf championship winner in the 1980s and 1990s whose life was cut short in a plane crash.

But by the end of his career—a career that included 11 PGA Tour victories, three of which were majors—Stewart was a respected voice in golf, much-liked by fans and his fellow pros....

The ollie (invented by Alan “Ollie” Gelfand in 1977) is the first trick that most skateboarders learn. It’s a leap into the air on the skateboard with the skater’s feet still on the board, even in mid-air.

Learning to ollie makes sense, as the ollie is the foundation of almost all flatland and park skateboarding tricks....
