the first “go” everybody sprinted. I ran towards the gas pumps and walked into the gas station while taking point marker ready.When I get into the gas station I cross the doorway and as I crossed all I heard was the extremely fast fire rate of a speedball marker and the wall behind me was covered in paint. I told my buddy to halt so he wouldn't cross the doorway and get shot up. I couldn't tell if this guy was on full auto or he was really good at walking the trigger. I realized that I could have

everybody. Players range from six to sixty, and are of any race or sex. There are many different ways to play, and an almost infinite amount of equipment for you to choose from. It is a great sport because of all the different types of equipment, and playing fields and other players can be found almost anywhere. Paintball is a very new sport. The first games were played by a few enterprising players who used cattle marking guns to play. Their paint was non-washable and expensive, costing up to a
new drugs emerged from the laboratories athletes started to be experimented on. The French tried using caffeine to enhance their performances. While other Europeans were mixing cocaine and heroin to give them extra energy they called this drug “speedball”. In 1886 this deadly mix contributed to the first drug related death in sports by taking the life of a cross-country cyclist.

One of my friends and I's favorite past times is paintball. From the adrenaline pumping into your veins, to the stupid crazy things we do while we are fighting. As long as we have the time and the money to play this sport, we will continue to play. It has brought my friends and I together, and has only made us come together as a group. Even when we were put against each other we still had a fun time playing paintball. It is truly an exhilarating sport. With tons of different people joining along
Rewrite of Act 1, Scene 4 Scene opens in a large, dimly-lit skating rink. Duncan enters with Lennox, Malcolm, Donalbain, and several servants trailing behind. Loud music courses through the air as they receive their skates from a tall man behind a counter. They all sit on thin benches to lace up their skates and begin discussing current events. Duncan: Is the traitor thane dead yet? I've been waiting for my executioners to return for over an hour! Malcolm: I'm sorry they're not back, Dad. They should
How to Organize a Paintball Event Ever dream of shooting your boss or coworkers? Perhaps you will get the chance if you offer to organize a company paintball event. It is a great way to promote teamwork and relieve aggression. Even if the coworker from hell is on the same team as you, keep in mind there is such a thing as “friendly fire” (“accidentally” shooting someone on your team). The first step is to check out local fields. Some things to look for are, the ratio of referees to players

benzodiazepines can also cause death and danger because of similar effects of it with alcohol and from the fact benzodiazepines often kill by themselves, there is definitely no need to mix the two. Mixing an upper and a downer drug is called a “speedball” and is pretty common. When it comes to the upper cocaine and the downer heroin though, it is more dangerous. Mixing the two has more of a chance of overdosing with the fact that cocaine comes down a lot faster than heroin. Your gradual heroin overdosage

The Trials and Tribulations Faced In One’s Youth My life has been filled throughout with influences both good and bad. My high school, although plain and simple from the outside, was anything but on the inside. My high school was known for its academic excellence and its more flush attendance area. But, few not and even some who were associated with my school knew of the problem within. A problem that would even be ignored even when it came right to the forefront of the local news. I never knew
“Dirt is the musical equivalent of coughing blood—harrowing and real. Dense guitars spin ominous, flattened melodies: the sound of cages rattling…It’s primal, sickening howl from the depths of Layne Staley’s heroin addiction, and one of the most harrowing concept albums ever recorded” (Brown, 2010, p.43). The musical elements of Dirt chronicled Staley’s addiction and recovery process. “Junkhead” off Alice in Chain’s album Dirt is the epitome of heroin use as can be seen in the following verses:

Olympians used a strong stimulant, strychnine, and hallucinating mushrooms to get "psyched up" before the games. In 1886, a French cyclist was the first athlete to die from a performance-enhancing drug. He took a mixture of cocaine and heroin called speedballs. Another incident occurred during the 1904 Olympics when Tom Hicks of the United States collapsed after winning the marathon event. It was later found that Hicks had drank a mixture of strychnine and brandy to enhance his performance. The first
Cocaine is a powerful central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that heightens alertness, inhibits appetite and the need for sleep, and provides intense feelings of pleasure. It is prepared from the leaf of the Erythroxylon coca bush, which grows primarily in Peru and Bolivia. Street dealers dilute it with inert (non-psychoactive) but similar-looking substances such as cornstarch, talcum powder, and sugar, or with active drugs such as procaine and benzocaine (used as local anesthetics), or other CNS
