Campbell: Big man O'Donnell playing large for Esks
I haven’t met many giants during my almost 40 years of life on this earth. That is until last season when the Eskimos acquired a 6-foot-11, 340-pound offensive lineman in a trade with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Queen’s product Matthew O’Donnell was a second round draft pick (15th overall) by the Riders in the 2011 CFL Draft. He was deemed as a project. The concern with O’Donnell was while he has the size and physicality for a man his size, would he have the foot speed?Happy Ending?As Dave Campbell explains, the Edmonton Eskimos are hoping to cap off their 2013 season on a high, as they get set for their finale with the Roughriders.» Read MoreWhen O’Donnell was traded to the Eskimos in September of 2012, he was expected to perfect his craft in practice. However, injuries struck the offensive line and O’Donnell was thrust into action much earlier than he or the Eskimos expected. O’Donnell played six games for the Eskimos last season, which included his first CFL start on September 28th. He would also start in the Eastern Semi-Final against the Toronto Argonauts.This season, O’Donnell turned the page from a project to a sure thing. He played two positions this season for the Eskimos - left guard and right tackle - and he did both very well. So well in fact that O’Donnell is the Eskimos nominee for the CFL’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman award.Having praise heaped on an o-lineman is unusual, O’Donnell knows they get more criticism than praise.“It’s never really a good year to be an o-lineman,” laughed O’Donnell. “We’re usually the first ones to get blamed and the last ones to be thanked. You get a lot of in-house respect though and that’s all we care about. When the quarterback and the running back thank us, and the receivers, that’s all we care about and we don’t worry too much about the media.”O’Donnell made his CIS debut for Queen’s in 2007 as an 18-year old. In 2009 and 2010, O’Donnell won the Orrin Carson Memorial Trophy as the best offensive lineman on the team. He was a first-team all Canadian in those same years. The next season, he played in the East-West Shrine Game in 2011 at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando. O’Donnell became the tallest and heaviest player to ever play in the game. He delayed signing with Saskatchewan Roughriders to join a tryout with the Boston Celtics. Impressive considering his last basketball experience was in high school in Surrey, BC. O’Donnell also had a tryout with the Toronto Raptors. He believes his basketball experience helped him to become a better player on the field.“You have to able to have fast feet especially now as the years go on and defensive ends get better, faster, quicker, stronger, and the whole defensive line does period,” O’Donnell explained. “Having fast feet is good, being a tackle who’s not able to move,Arizona Cardinals Jersey, and who’s sloppy, and boxy. It’s really good to have that background of multiple sports and multiple techniques.” Related Links Week 19 Game Notes More from Dave Campbell Buy: 101st Grey Cup Playoff tickets Before becoming a member of the Eskimos, O’Donnell signed with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals in 2011 and spent the entire season on the team’s practice roster. He was given a two-year contract extension following the season but was waived by the team in August of last year. In a year where the offensive line has had trouble finding consistency, O’Donnell has been a rock. He, along with left tackle Thaddeus Coleman, are the only two o-lineman who have started every single game this season. Head coach Kavis Reed says he was impressed at how efficient O’Donnell was while playing two positions.“Very versatile individual, he was very consistent at both,” he said. “He’s going to be stalwart on the offensive line for years to come.”O’Donnell has a lot of nasty in his game, a trait which offensive linemen are supposed to have.Ask Riders linebacker Diamond Ferri about the physicality of O’Donnell, who laid a vicious hit on Ferri while returning an interception in Edmonton during Week 1 of the season. Who would want a man of O’Donnell’s stature bearing down on him? Uh, no thanks!For his success, O’Donnell doesn’t pat himself on the back. He’s quick to thank the people around him.“It’s really a testament to my teammates and my coaches,” O’Donnell said. “I worked hard this off-season; I came in kind of late last year and didn’t quite have my bearings. I put in some great work in the off-season.”And what a difference a year can make.

GPS Sport Watches
GPS Sport Watches
It's no surprise that one of the biggest names in GPS is also a top name in GPS sports watches. The Forerunner series (Forerunner 50, 205, 305, 310 XT, 405, 405 CX) is designed primarily for running and cross training. The 405 CX monitors time, distance, pace and other workout indicators and sends the data wirelessly to your computer where you can analyze it later and adjust your training regimen as needed. You can then go out and try to beat your previous marks. The 405 CX also includes a heart monitor. The watch is compatible with cycling as well, with the purchase of a cadence sensor that tracks your wheel movement. A foot pod can convert the watch into an indoor training tool, where GPS isn't available to provide tracking data. Other watches in the Forerunner series include varied features and are aimed at running, biking and multisport applications.
The Suunto X10 is more of an outdoor sports and adventure watch. This watch is essentially a wristtop GPS navigation unit that is designed for navigating through the wilderness. The watch includes other staple functions of outdoor sports watches such as altimeter, barometer and compass. The X10 plugs into your computer so that after that epic day in the bush, you can chart your journey using Suunto Trek Manager and Google Earth. Add up to 500 waypoints to more accurately navigate and use Suunto's Trek Manager software to help you plan your trip.
The Timex cheats a little bit in that it requires a separate GPS unit, which straps to your other wrist or upper arm. The GPS unit communicates with the watch to provide the distance traveled, speed and elevation. The watch is designed for a variety of athletes including swimmers, bikers, walkers and runners. A heart monitor is included.

In numbers, the museums, exhibitions and festivals of the country are modest, in keeping with the relatively small population, but some of them are the most outstanding in the world.
The Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, with its displays of the legendary long ships and artifacts of the Viking Age, sets visitor records almost every year. The Ski Museum on the Holmenkollen hill above Oslo is the largest of its sort. The Bergen International Festival is part of the international circuit for classical musicians and music lovers, as the Molde Jazz Festival is for jazz musicians and fans. The five World Heritage Sites bear witness to the settlement of the Scandinavian Peninsula, from prehistoric times to the 20th century.
And the holdings of the museums are newsworthy, as the Munch Museum ruefully found in August 2004, when Edvard Munch the most famous of all Norwegian paintings, was stolen.

World Heritage Sites
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) works to identify, protect and preserve sites of cultural and natural heritage around the world. To date, 788 sites have been inscribed on the World Heritage List. Five of them are in Norway:
1Bryggen, the old quay of Bergen that is a reminder of the city importance in the days of Hanseatic League trading from the 14th to the mid16th century. Several fires, the last in 1955, have destroyed many buildings, but 58 remain and are used principally for restaurants and artists studios.
2Pictographs at Alta, near the Arctic Circle, date to the first prehistoric settlement from ca 4200 to 500 BC.
3Ror the town built in the 17th century to mine copper. The mines closed down in 1977, but 80 of the original wooden houses remain, their pitchlog facades giving the town a medieval look.
4Urnes Stave Church, built in the 12th and 13th centuries in the Scandinavian wooden tradition that shows traces of Celtic art, Viking traditions and Romanesque building.
5Veg an archipelago of dozens of islands centred at Vega, just south of the Arctic Circle, that bears evidence of habitation since the Stone Age and of the ways in which fishermen and farmers existed for some 1500 years.

Simply because BASE jumping regions are normally not designated for this guerillastyle sport, the makeshift landing targets that jumpers aim for are hardly ever big enough to allow for a safe jump. As a result a lot of BASE enthusiasts meet with serious and occasionally fatal injuries due to the fact they haven't been able to steer themselves to the landing area in time.
Numerous people compare BASE jumping to bungee jumping without a bungee cord, but it is truly much closer to skydiving devoid of an airplane. Jumpers practice several of the exact same techniques that divers use to preserve stability and altitude awareness although they are in the air. Before becoming a BASE jumper, an athlete should total a full course of skydiver training. Once they have their full skydiving certification, the next step for any individual interested in BASE is to uncover a mentor in the jumping community who can teach them how to take on these ambitious freefalls.

Every single year, BASE jumping leads to a number of fatalities, and most key BASE societies and clubs have seen at least one member perish in pursuit of the sport that he or she loved.
