@Lance

Thank you for the reply to my inquiry. The details/depth that these stories involve are pretty amazing. Thank you for the link and thoughts, lots to mull over while saving and hoping to get an appointment in the mid-future.

Cheers!

@Lance Thank you for the write up about Shige's seminar. That was really awesome to read.

I'm curious what the stories that Shige mentioned were and if he pointed to any resources in English that someone could look towards to get ideas from, as a Client.

Thank you again!

GORUCK just put up a new series of events on their page, should check it out:

@dcostello: I'm doing the Jacksonville Challenge on the June 15th/16th, I didn't realize, I think Florida has the most Challenges. It's a night challenge. Thank you all the heads up, will definitely apply it to my training. Will definitely send off a PM to you. Thank you! Have a Great New Year!

Completed my first GORUCK Challenge today. 13 hours, 14 miles with a 40 pound pack carrying all sorts of fucked up things around, walking down Van Ness without socks or shoes, and more push ups and flutter kicks than I can remember. And a few trips into the ocean.

I suggest trying one out when it comes to a city near you. They are going international as well.

Signed up for one this Summer. "Looking forward to it."

What parts of your training for the GORUCK worked out best for you on the night?

Saw this today and thought you would be interested:

Hello Sailor! The Nautical Roots of Popular Tattoos | Collectors Weekly

Thank you for posting these pictures.

I can't get past the 'nazi question.' But very much appreciate having the photos out there.

Anyone know what is up with the Phantom of the Opera mask the second picture? More interesting that blurring out a face.

Very true... that's what I said "somewhat" ;-)

:p Or rather, 'not at all.'

I live in eastern Kentucky in the US where being open atheist can be somewhat like being black in Alabama in the 60's so it's encouraging to feel that there are like-minded people in the world.

Ummm....no offense, but doubts they are hanging 'Strange Fruit' in eastern Kentucky these days....

Feynman was a great man.

Personally, whether God exist or not, is a dead end question.

I live my life by a certain code. If there is a God, then I hope it's enough. If not, well....probably wasn't my kind of crowd to begin with.

Not a believer, but kinda has a soft spot for those that are.

Not a film, but one of the best tattoo plot devices.

Excited, though now there are going to be TWO characters who I can barely understand when they speak?!?

As Mark Twain said, The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.

As Mark Twain, also said, 'It's not what you don't know. It's what you know, that just ain't so.'

Girl on Guy with Aisha Tyler

It's behind a paywall, but it's a great interview with Henry Rollins.

Loves the 'Recognized Expert Worldwide!!'

The two exclamation points are icing on the cake.

Haha hell yea I'm excited for march 28 then

Hello,

Did you get the book yet, @lving4today? If so, how was it?

Hello,

Thank you all for the thoughts on Kettlebells. I'm pretty excited to see how it works out.

Thank you as well for the posts on footwear, was not something I had on top of my mind, until reading the posts. I'll be shopping this weekend.

Hello,

This is a great thread.

I was wondering if anyone could speak to any experience they have had with using Kettlebells?

Finally got my sh*t together and found a RKC (Russian kettlebell instructor) semi-near me, so made an appointment to learn form, etc.

Any shared experience is greatly appreciated!

50/50 was surprising affecting, particularly Angelica Huston as the mother, near the end of the film.

Fans of 'Drive' might want to check out 'Le Samourai.' Also if you are into chase scenes, 'Ronin' with Deniro is a pretty sweet movie, though one of the few movies that is the exception to the rule about Sean Bean characters.

Nice podcast interview with director of 'Drive.'

Canadian quirks, eh?
