Let's play BALL!! Some of you may be asking, So what IS the NBA? Put simply, the National Basketball Association. If you've NEVER EVER heard of this, then you should be ashamed of yourself! The NBA is the organisation which deals with ins and outs of Basketball competition in the United States and Canada. It is made up of 29 teams divided into the Atlantic, Central, Midwest and Pacific. The Atlantic and Central divisions make up the Eastern Conference while the Western Conference is made up of the Midwest and Pacific divisions. This is a direct link to the Official NBA Site. Now you won't have to go there anymore! In addition to that, for those of you, like Barny for instance who don't know how to play BBall, there's a special link right below for all you beginners!!

As you can see, this is the link to the WNBA!! If you hadn't realised, it's the Women's National Basketball Association. Just for all you gals out there who are into Women's BBall. Just like the NBA link, you can check out the teams, scores, news and everything else that's offered on the WNBA site! The WNBA also has teams divided into the Eastern and Western Conferences and that's all Barny knows. If you'd like to know more about the WNBA, please don't hesitate to Email Mark.

Wondering what that says? If you're Korean, then you should know that it pronounced "TaeKwonDo",, presumably Tae Kwon Do. TaeKwonDo is a Korean martial art which originated partly from the Japanese Karate (Correct me if I'm wrong). It mainly involves kicking but that alone is enough to cause a KnockOut when performed correctly (and to certain body parts which we prefer not to talk about). International competition is strong especially in European countries as well as the traditional Asian countries. Shown below is a picture of Dan Ki Tu, extracted from the Zendokan magazine 5/96. Erh... PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO!! (NO, IT'S NOT A PICTURE TURNED SIDEWAYS). PLEASE ENJOY AND BE INSPIRED.

Click here to go to the GENERAL TAEKWONDO INFORMATION PAGE. Believe me, it's not as 'general' as it sounds. You can find everything you want to know there. It also has links to other Martial Arts sites which may be of interest to you.

THE COMMANDMENTS OF TAEKWONDO:

  • Loyalty to your country
  • Respect your parents
  • Faithfulness to your spouse
  • Respect your brothers and sisters
  • Loyalty to your friends
  • Respect your elders
  • Respect your teacher
  • Never take life unjustly
  • Indomitable spirit
  • Loyalty to your school
  • Finish what you begin

NHL, the abbreviation of National Hockey League, is the NBA equivalent in Ice Hockey. In order to play Ice Hockey, you have to learn to Ice skate first so you can control yourself and not fall on the ice or crash into a wall! Mark and Barny just happen to have an infatuation for ice skating. Although it brings pain at times, the Joy of erh... I won't say brought thereafter is well worth it!! One of the popular teams would have to be the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, CA. I'm sure you've all seen the movie(s) Mighty Ducks. Well there you go!! Just click on the Mighty Ducks link and it will take you to their Official NHL web page.

FREE E-Mail


Presented below, are serveral World Wide Web E-mail providers. All you need to do is subscribe to one or all of them, depending your need. However, Please do not use them for unorthodox purposes such as writing fake mail, etc...

HOTMAIL is one of the leading WWW E-mail providers as you can see, because I have one! Basically, the only con about Hotmail is that there are two login screens, one for the Username and the other for the Password. There are times at which Hotmail goes down for maintanence. Hotmail also offers Filtering, which means that if at any time you get abusive Emails, you can always block that person off.

Rocketmail is also quite poplar, but nevertheless, its only an Email box. Rocketmail also has its own features and an incorporated Login page where you enter both your name and password on the same page, without having to wait for anything. With Rocketmail, you will need a browser that supports Javascript. If you're wondering if that concerns you, then you should check your broser version. Basically, Navigator 3 and Internet Explorer 3 both support Javascript.

Netaddress is not so common but there is a flashy catch with it, your E-mail address becomes YOURNAME@usa.net. Cool huh? I haven't tried it out but it looks pretty good! Definitely worth a try.

Heard of the EXCITE search engine? Well here you are. EXCITE presents Mail Excite. A full featured Email system. The login screens are incorporated as well and you also have an option to download the accumulated mail in your mail box. The Email service is provided by WhoWhere, a service which allows you to search for numerous Email addresses and names.

MailCity is basically, an original WhoWhere service and is EXACTLY the same as MailExcite in all aspects except name, even though the MailExcite logo looks more appealing.
