Baseball Ground Crew Struggles To Get Tarp On Field

With rain starting to come down in the top of the third inning, the Pirates' grounds crew was tasked with rolling the tarp onto the field. Things seemed to be going fine at first, but then the team was hit with some pretty strong wind.

This caused the tarp to start moving off course, swallowing a member of the grounds crew in the process. Just as things were starting to look bleak, McCutchen, as usual, stepped up.

McCutchen, Sean Rodriguez and Gregory Polanco all helped the grounds crew get the situation under control. You can see the man previously swallowed by the tarp emerge shortly after the players stepped in.

The three then remained on the field in the rain until the tarp was put in place. During the process, the rain began to come down even harder, but the players wouldn't budge. They would only leave once the grounds crew got things mostly under control.

Series of Hate Crimes Against Jews in Williamsburg

It’s happened so frequently lately, with the same group of people as victims, that the NYPD is now investigating as hate crimes a series of attacks in this Brooklyn neighborhood.

The latest crime happened Monday night, and now the search is on for a lengthening list of suspects.  “My wife started making noise, and my son ran over to help,” said a man who identified himself only as Manny, about how his family helped to stop the attack on his next door neighbor Monday night. “They started running away” after his wife and son got involved, he said about the two attackers, a man and a woman, who his wife and son spotted from the balcony across the street from the crime, which happened at around 11:15 P.M. 

The victim, 62, was walking home from his synagogue, when the pair accosted him.  “For no good reason,” said Manny, “when somebody’s walking home like that and gets attacked like that, it’s shameful.”  The two young people beat the man with an object he couldn’t clearly see.

It was the latest in a series of recent attacks on Hasidic Orthodox Jewish men in Williamsburg. On Monday of last week, another Hasidic man was beaten with an object that he felt all too well — a glass bottle. Police released a surveillance video image of that suspect, and searched for DNA clues from the cap the suspect had dropped at the scene, but at this point there has been no arrest. 

Also, a day before that attack, somebody shot a paintball at another Orthodox Jewish man, while he stood near the corner of Lee Avenue and Rodney Street, a block from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, where the suspects may have sped off. It was the fifth paintball attack on an Orthodox Jewish person in Williamsburg since March. In each case, there appears to be one bad motive.  “I think maybe because it’s racist,” said one Hasidic man in his 20s. Like many people in the Orthodox Jewish community of Williamsburg, he did not want his name used for news coverage.

Cops Were Not Impressed with Lawn Chair Balloon Ride

Police were not too impressed with 26-year-old Daniel Boria, who attached 110 balloons to a lawn chair and soared above Calgary before ditching the lawn chair and parachuting back down. Boria was arrested and charged with mischief causing danger to life for the sky-high publicity stunt, intended to draw attention to his cleaning company, All Clean Natural.

Boria – who had a GPS and an oxygen tank with him – had planned to parachute into the Calgary Stampede, but missed the grounds and landed in a nearby field, spraining his ankle in the process.

Boria, who said he spent about $20,000 on the stunt, described the experience as incredible. “It was the most surreal experience you can ever imagine. I was just by myself on a $20 lawn chair up in the sky above the clouds,” he told CBC News. Insp. Kyle Grant said that a publicity stunt is not worth risking a life and said that a lot could have gone wrong. He added, “It probably would have been cheaper to get a billboard.” The chair and the balloons have not yet landed.

Fearless Goat Goes Head To Head With a Bull

A fearless goat literally took the bull by the horns after it went head-to-head with one several times its size... and won.

In a video that captured the epic David and Goliath battle, the tiny animal is seen confronting the huge creature on the side of the road.

The courageous goat is seen forcing the bull backwards before being thrown back by a couple of forceful blows from the bull. refusing to back down, the grey and white goat comes back with a vengeance and continues its onslaught.

And proving that size really doesn't matter, it is the bull who eventually surrenders and timidly shuffles away with its tail between its legs. although it is not known exactly where the minute-long clip was filmed, it is thought to be in India, where bulls and cows are revered by the country's vast Hindu population.

Singing Zebra

From The Uploader: We were on a family vacation to San Antonio and stopped at Natural Bridge Caverns Wildlife Ranch on the way. As we went through the safari my husband was pretending all the animals were singing to him to get food.

Shark Capsizes Boat

A fisherman off the Florida coast swam as quickly as he could after a bull shark rammed into his kayak and tipped it over.

Captain Ben Chancey, 42, leads fishing expeditions and was searching for a goliath grouper when he was confronted with the predator below his boat in the St Lucie Inlet.

He said that he began to struggle with the estimated 350lb bull shark after picked up on his bait that a grouper had rejected.

Chancey, a Coast Guard captain for fishing charters, and the shark then began a 20-minute battle in which the animal dragged him and his boat around on top of the water as his friends hollered from a distance.

The fisherman and members of his show at Chewonthis.tv captured it all on video, before the beast reared upwards and whacked Chancey's kayak with its tail. he struggled to stay aboard the vessel, but ultimately slipped off as the boat careened sideways and then over. chancey landed directly on top of the shark, but told ABC that he didn't panic.

Wearing a life jacket, Chancey splashes as fast as possible to the safety of a support boat before his friends encourage him to get back in the kayak.

The close call comes after a increased number of shark incidents this summer. ten people have been attacked off the coasts of North and South Carolina this year, according to CNN.

Researchers believe that the rise in shark activity may stem from warmer, saltier water, which sharks prefer. some experts also believe that the increase in shark attacks may be due to a larger than usual sea turtle population along the Atlantic Coast.

Crossing the Finish Line on His Knees

This is the incredible moment a MotoGP rider guided his bike over the finish line - while crouched down OFF the bike.

Niklas Ajo made headlines for his extraordinary finish in the Moto3 class event on Saturday during the Grand Prix of the Netherlands, as he quite literally dragged himself over the line.

With his knees bouncing off the tarmac, he miraculously steered the vehicle home without causing a serious crash after being flung from his vehicle.

Finnish rider Ajo finished the race in 17th place, ahead of two other riders who finished the race in a more conventional style.

Its shows the commitment of Ajo, who pulled off the remarkable improvised finish despite still being just 20-years-old.

A Rebellious High Schooler and the Lubavitcher Rebbe

In 1976 a young high schooler in Crown Heights felt the need to push back against the expectations and strictures of life as a Lubavitcher girl. The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s sensitivity and approach to her predicament remain as topical and incisive now as ever – truly a guide to the perplexed. Today Mrs. Mariashi Groner is the Co-director of Lubavitch of North Carolina and the Director of Charlotte Jewish Day School.

Young Child Sings Hungarian "Sol-A-Kokosh"

Rebbe Isaac Taub of Kalov, zy"a, (1751-1821) overheard this Hungarian song about a bird, being sung by a gentile shepherd boy. He recognized the tune to be from the ancient Holy Temple in Jerusalem. He "bought" the song from the boy, and the boy immediately forgot the song once the Rebbe learned it. Thr Rebbe added the words in Hebrew "יבנה המקדש עיר ציון תמלא", recognizing the story of the bird to actually be a parable of the exile of the Jewish people, and the importance of waiting for G-d to take us home.

Translation:

"The sun is rising now, the rooster crows now. Near a green forest, is a wide field, where a bird walks around.

What sort of bird is this? What sort of bird is this?
With yellow feet, and a pearl-whi​te beak, he is waiting to go home. With yellow feet, and blue-gree​n wings, he is waiting to go home.

Wait,​ birdy, wait! Wait, birdy, wait!
Until​ God decides it is the right time, then you will go home.

But when will it be? But when will it be?
When "The Temple is rebuilt and then the city of Zion will be filled" - that is when it will be. When "The Temple is rebuilt and then the city of Zion will be filled" - that is when it will be."

Beat the Heat on a Budget

With summer now in full swing, the mercury is steadily rising and keeping cool is becoming more and more tricky - particularly if you aren't lucky enough to have air conditioning in your home or office.

But one man is hoping to put an end to your warm weather woes by demonstrating how to make an at-home air conditioning unit in just five minutes, using nothing but simple items such as an electric fan and a five-gallon bucket. There's even an option to use solar power.

The impressive contraption is shown being built over the course of the video, starting with the creator using a hole saw to cut a series of perfectly-shaped holes in an orange five-gallon bucket, which costs just $3 from Home Depot.

After cutting three holes for the piping, the DIY expert then slides in a $6 Styrofoam liner into the bucket and, picking up the hole saw once again, he cuts slightly smaller holes, through the existing ones in the orange bucket, and into the liner.

He uses these holes to position the three pieces of pipe, which he estimates cost around 75 cents each.

Using a box cutter, he then cuts a hole in the lid of the bucket, using the rivets as a guide.

Then, taking a small black personal-sized fan, which can be bought for around $12, he positions it face-down in the hole he made in the lid of the bucket, which he has filled with a gallon of frozen water. One gallon-bottle of water retails for around $3.

The next shot shows the final product in action, with pieces of glittering tinsel attached to the protruding pieces of pipe to show off the strong airflow.

Leopard Attacks Safari Guide

A British safari tour guide was forced to pull his arm free from the jaws of a leopard when the 'cunning' animal launched a surprise attack on his truck.

The vicious leopard attempted to enter a truck full of tourists at the Kruger National Park in South Africa, as the visitors were being shown around the popular destination.

Curtis Plumb, 38, of Nhongo Safari Tours, sustained deep cuts and bites to his arm, but managed to free himself when tourists began throwing objects at the animal.

He remains in hospital in a stable condition.

Base Jumper Flies Through Two Meter Mountain Gap

Wingsuit pilot Uli Emanuele, who might be the craziest person on Earth, flew through a two-meter gap in a mountain in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Emanuele simply hiked up a mountain, jumped off a cliff and steered himself toward nearly certain death to create the most exhilarating GoPro video we’ve ever seen.

With only two meters separating him from being crushed by the mountain face, one daredevil put his life on the line for a chance to achieve a daring stunt dreamed up three years ago.

Wearing a body camera, the remarkable footage shows Uli Emanuele, a professional base jumper wing suit pilot, soaring through the sky and passing through a mountain hole just two meters wide.

The video opens with an enthusiastic Emanuele hiking up to a rugged mountain, situated in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Pulling on his blue wing suit, the daredevil adjusts his goggles before taking time to check over his kit for one final time before the jump. With one big leap, Emanuele jumps off the edge of the mountain side and immediately the scale of his ambitious stunt becomes apparent as the small hole comes into site.

The wing suit immediately kicks into action and the spectacular views of the valley emerges.

Making a slight turn, the daredevil lines himself up for a near impossible flight through the cave and in a flash, he soars through the mini hole. Several different angles are shown of the daredevil making the fiendish stunt. One slow motion sequence shot shows how close the daredevil came to crashing into the rock face. Swooping over the lush green mountain side, the jubilant daredevil celebrates his remarkable stunt. Releasing his parachute, Emanuele lands safety in the grass, near an wooden hut.

Despite the adrenaline filled achievement, the relaxed daredevil is even seen at the end taking time to talk to several alpacas. The remarkable stunt was successfully carried out in September 2014, with the footage only emerging recently on to social media.
