Historically, the umbrella term was billiards. While that familiar name is still employed by some as a generic label for all such games, the word’s usage has splintered into more exclusive competing meanings in various parts of the world. For example, in British and Australian English, “billiards” usually refers exclusively to the game of English billiards, while in American and Canadian English it is sometimes used to refer to a particular game or class of games, or to all cue games in general, depending upon dialect and context. There are three major subdivisions of games within cue sports: 1. Carom billiards, referring to games played on tables without pockets, including among others balkline and straight rail, cushion caroms, three-cushion billiards and artistic billiards / 2. Pool, generally played on a table with six pockets, including among others eight-ball (the world’s most widely played cue sport), nine-ball, straight pool, one-pocket and bank pool. / 3. Snooker, which while technically a pocket billiards game, is generally classified separately based on its historic divergence from other games, as well as a separate culture and terminology that characterize its play.
What remains of a building in the ghost town of Lake Valley, New Mexico. There was so much texture in this old weathered wood with the light pouring in through the cracks made this shot irresistible to me. / Featured in JPG Cast Offs – Feb. 2010 /

Inquiring minds or mind, should I say, wants to know what the heck I am doing outside, in the snow, without him? The poor guy, all warm inside and dry, is suffering while I dig out mounds of wet snow – yup, the heavy kind!! LOL!

Feeding time for the tigers is an amazing spectacle. The keepers put the tigers food up at the top of a 20 foot telegraph pole, the tigers run into the enclosure and scale to the top in a split second. The added bonus is that the tigers get a good work out according to the zoo keepers. Please view large
