Abstract: A game in which two spherical balls tethered to opposing ends of a flexible cord are tossed at a ladder-like target goal post having a plurality of cross bars, the toss occurring from the region behind a facing goal post spaced across a field of play. An objective of the game is to toss the tethered ball pair across the field to the opposing goal post to entwine or wrap around a goal post cross bar. Points are earned when the toss remains wrapped to the crossbar.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for stimulating producing strata in oil or gas wells. The formation is penetrated using existing shaped charges, and an oxygen-rich material then is introduced into the producing formation. Thus, oxygen is available within the formation to sustain an explosive reaction with the existing formation hydrocarbons acting as fuel. This explosive reaction will cause fracturing of the formation and will counteract plugging that often results from the use of conventional shaped charges. In one embodiment, a container encloses shaped charges surrounded by oxygen-rich material. The shaped charges are ignited first, perforating the well casing and any surrounding cement. Additional explosive charges at each end of the container then are ignited. This forces the oxygen-rich material into the perforation tunnels. Alternately, the oxygen can be a part of the shaped charge and projected into the formation with the shaped charge to accomplish the same results.
