    Corn Hole

    Getting quite popular. See them at the beach , sports events (tailgaters) ,BBQ's. Great game to enjoy while drinking. Perfectly safe. Nothing sharp. The bean bags are not so heavy and will not hurt if hit in shin or foot. More dangerous tripping over the target , or "hole". Much safer than darts...

    4G At Last!

    Absolutely correct. I lead an International group considering bidding and/or deploying this system , and my partners could not run away fast enough. The idea of investing close to a billion dollars and have the risk of the government nationalizing it was a joke.

    The only thing that will change with a new government in 2015 is that friends of whomever is elected will then receive lots and lots of money via corruption , cronyism , graft , collusion , and just out right lying.
