The “Moffatt Stick,” maybe the world’s oldest known hockey stick, was in the news a couple of years ago when its owner, Mark Presley of Berwick, NS, sold it to the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec for $300,000. Presley came upon the stick during the year 2000 as it hung in George Ferneyhough’s North Sydney barber shop.

Freedom of Speech is possibly the most respected American ideal. Envied by citizens of countries where self-expression is a right of some and stricken from others, we uphold this concept with defensive pride. However, we must ask ourselves if this freedom can ever go too far. When does lenience turn into naivety? If speech is abused so freely that it enslaves the minds of another should it become a privilege, rather than a right? In his essay “On Racist Speech”, Charles R. Lawrence III argues for
as the first modern president because he was the first to get involved in foreign affairs, with his Big Stick Policy. Other things he did during his president that are remembered for are his Square deal, Hay-Pauncefote treaty, his corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, and his trust busting.

vast majority of our population find operating a manual transmission, or stick shift, to be extremely difficult. However, in actuality all it takes is some serious practice and devotion to make driving a stick shift like second nature. For successful driving, the same steps must be followed each time the car is driven. The stick shift panel is typically located between the two front seats of the vehicle. The stick shift can be moved left to right and up and down for changing gears. The clutch
thrilled to accomplish something so phenomenal as to surpass a record, I was stubborn to be someone unique the "Great One" was. I knew everybody would play their best to win the game and trophy. Once the game started I clenched my hand around the hockey stick and told myself that I have to win this game no matter what happens. The hushing sound made by the skates on the ice was very annoying, but I tried to forget about it and put hundred percent efforts on my game, my "War". When I got the puck bunch of
little hockey stick at the age of two! Sidney played around with the stick and practiced daily in the basement of their house. Although he was just two years old he already started to love playing with the little stick, a tennis ball, and the family dryer. A year later when Sidney Crosby was just three years old he put on his first pair of skates and took to the ice. He than began playing for a hockey club and was the only child at age three who already had learned the “basics of stick handling.” Sidney
Callaway Golf Co. In 1982, Ely Reeves Callaway had bought his small wedge and putter golf business and called it Hickory Stick USA and created clubs that were enjoyable for the average golfer.

The family of Ely Callaway are not involved with the company today because he was told to choose his successor, and had chose Ron Draqpeau. He is a man who only shared the same vision
something and the parent does nothing to help the child, the child will grow up thinking that failing is alright and that he or she will have a hard time in life with their job or in school or life in general. Many events from a persons’ life can stick with the person throughout their life like a thorn in the side. The event will every so often reappear in the persons mind when some event in the present triggers a familiarity with the past event and the person could go in to a state of worry or
Japanese to use those annoying little sticks commonly known as chopsticks or "hashi." Eating with chopsticks may be the hardest thing one will have to learn while in Japan, besides learning to read, write and speak Japanese, but eating with chopsticks is a lot like writing with a pencil, except you have two pencils instead of one. The trick is that only one stick is actually doing all the work while the other is stationary and serves as the base. Place both of the sticks in the curve between your pointer
reaches of the North Carolina mountains. The boy is a friend of mine; his name is Lucuse, and I’ve known him for a week and already we have the makings of life long friends. But right now we are enemies of the most mortal kind. We circle each other, a stick in each hand, our sabers, and weapons of choice. We size one another up. He is much bigger than me in all aspects except our height, which I take him by scant inches. I’m faster, and he knows it, but if we should get into a lock and are forced to rely
================================================= In this experiment we used a meter stick with wire running down it to measure the resistance at different distances to decide whether resistance increases over distance. We changed the voltage or potential difference 10 times at each length, but in the results table and graph I have only used the first result from each measurement.

As a child, I was always told, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” however; I have come to disagree with this adage. While some people choose to express their feelings, others would rather hide them. Neither person is “right,” but they are both affected by words. My personal experiences, literary events, and my observations support that words hurt people. In my fifteen years of life, I have been hurt by words countless times, causing me to lose my self-confidence
