What Women Do to Stay Safe vs. What They Should Be Doing
Many a small business owner may have despaired over the shocking amount of theft that can occur even with the most hawk-eyed watching. In tough economic times, not only do the rates of theft go up a startling amount, but many business owners simply cannot afford to take the losses. It can be very expensive
Hot peppers have an astonishing array of uses; they are useful in treating fever, digestive disorders, colds, circulatory problems and even as a bug repellant in the garden. The hot pepper contains Capsaicin, and this component provides not only the medicinal actions, but Vitamin C as well. There has been intensive study into the benefits
There are lots and lots of people who dial the emergency number for situations that clearly are not emergencies. This article discusses when an urgent response is called for, and when you should call the non-emergency numbers to be connected to fire, ambulance, and police services. The author knows their stuff. An excerpt…. “An open or unsecure door or window that indicates a burglary has possibly occurred should be considered a crime in progress. You should call 911 and wait outside in a safe location until police arrive and secure the property.” That is wisdom.
We owe a debt to knirirr for kindly giving us a heads up to this French language news article. (English translation here.) A suspect tried to escape from French custom officials, only to have chemical mace applied along with a Taser. A freak combination of tear gas and the Taser caused the man’s clothing to burst into flame! The burning man was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but managed to finally give the cops the slip. He is still at large. I’ve never heard of something like this happening, but I suppose anything is possible. I wonder what made up the ingredients of that French tear gas?

Without a doubt, the most common questions I get are about heavy bag workouts. More specifically, how to design a heavy bag workout that will keep your training interesting, provide maximum health and skill benefits and avoid training-related injuries that are far too common when people buy a heavy bag and start pounding away on

The fifth limb or the neck as it is more commonly referred to has to be one of the most neglected but most over worked muscles in martial arts. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve experienced a stiff neck after not stretching and warming up the neck muscles properly and then pulling a muscle
Relaxed power, it may sound like an oxymoron but it is in fact a very important concept for martial arts and self-defence, however it is also incredibly easy to forget about it in a stressful situation. Most people naturally tense up in stressful situations or when they are threatened, those that don’t have either trained

This is kind of a Catholic vs Protestant argument that still goes on for some reason. What am I talking about? You know – If a school opens up in a strip mall for profit – many of the purists (read traditionalist Karate Ka) will smirk and wonder if the “McDojo” can trace its roots back to the old country (Read Japan or Okinawa). Traditionalists like to recite their lineage to prove their black belt is meaningful. This is like the Catholics (disclaimer – I am a Catholic) or Orthodox Churches argument of Apostolic Succession (meaning they can trace their bishops back to Christ’s apostles. The thing …

Have I told you? I have this itch, and sometimes it gets really bad, I’ve had it most of my life, at least as early as I can remember… sometimes it goes away for a while, but it always returns, and here lately it’s been pretty bad… What is this issue? Well, it’s art, I have really wanted to get back into drawing, a while back I purchased a big box of crayons, yes the ones that kids use 🙂 I have, in the past, used crayons to draw what would be considered “fine art”, ie it wasn’t kids stuff, and it has turned out pretty well if …

I am a single 34 year old male with no children looking to move off the grid very soon. I am looking to build a small solar cabin on some land less than $1000/acre to homestead on in a place that has less than 10 people per square mile (Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Utah etc.)I want to be somewhere close to the mountains. Trees are very important to me also. I have never lived off grid before and would like to live near other people who know how to live off the grid. I want to learn how to grow fruits and vegetables all year round using a solar greenhouse. It would also …
Although the Republican controlled House of Representatives recently passed Audit the Fed, HR 459, Audit the Fed will never pass nor will the Fed ever be abolished legislatively. Republicans really do support the Federal Reserve because it funds their wars and empire. Furthermore, all the Republican YEA’s to Audit the Fed were nothing more than an act of political expediency because Republicans in Congress absolutely do understand that Audit the Fed stands no chance of ever getting out of the Senate where it only has 30 co-sponsors and could never survive a presidential veto.The Federal Reserve is the mother’s milk of empire, tyranny and statism. Big government and central banks exist for no purpose except…
George H. Smith was formerly Senior Research Fellow for the Institute for Humane Studies, a lecturer on American History for Cato Summer Seminars, and Executive Editor of Knowledge Products. Smith’s fourth book, Themes in the History of Classical Liberalism, is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press, and he is also a regular blogger and essayist at Libertarianism.org. In this video from a 1985 Libertarian Party of California conference Smith lectures on the success of the public school system. He claims that state schooling is successful insofar as it accomplishes it’s true goal: not to educate children per se but to turn them into civic-minded, obedient citizens. Smith gives an overview of the history of state schooling, which stretches back as far as the 5th century B…

Easing into my 40s, I’m finally starting to understand the urgency of time, and the appeal of leaving a lasting legacy. What will I leave behind to my daughters, and my nieces and nephews? What can I do for my grandchildren before they’re even born, so that they have an opportunity for a life as
Commander Zero loaned me this book with the conditions that it is eventually returned and I share my thoughts on it. Figured a book review is as good of a way as any to share my thoughts. So here we go. Good: Comprehensive- This book talks about a whole lot of different conflicts. China, Algeria, French in Indochina, Jews vs the Arab world I, II, III, IV, Vietnam and touched on themes of African and South American conflicts. Well Researched- The guy definitely knew what he was talking about. The sheer amount of research put into this book is impressive. Brought home key themes- Successful insurgencies have safe havens behind…
I’m going to try to give y’all some tools to refute that annoying IEA report that just came out — the one that says the US will be the “new Saudi Arabia” and a net exporter of energy. I doubt this community has any new people reading it, and if you’ve been here for a while, you know this report is bullshit, but you need to know why because all these smug, optimistic cornucopians are going to be bringing the article to your attention in hopes of defeating everything you’ve ever told them about energy production.I’m going to skip the IEA report itself and go straight …
After extensive mathematical modeling, scientist declares “Earth is fucked” IO9Brad Werner has a simple question: Is the Earth fucked? He also has a remarkably complicated methodology yielding a very simple answer: yes, unless people start a serious global rebellion….So, to sum up: even our best efforts at environmental management are doomed to fail, unless massive scale resistance movements start springing up and send our cultural personality back toward a pre-technological era.

I’m feeling pretty darn good about 2013. Economic crash be damned. Just had a barely awake chat with KMO over at the C-Realm Podcast’s special programming called “The Vault.” I was sleepy, as it was the day after Christmas, and DH and I did a crazy stint of driving, after we put our dino-dog-puppies to bed, then shot over to see my sister and extended family. It was a great holiday. The Shopping Gene? My sister, who has an incredible talent for picking out clothes for me, chose a fantastic hat as my gift. For those of you who know hats, it is …
Hey Peak Shrink! I read your help-letter from the lesbian couple looking to relocate. My partner and I moved from Sacramento to Nevada County almost two years ago. It was very scary but it was a wonderful choice. We are super happy here. I would love to be put in touch with the writer. You can give her my email address. The letter inspired me to write a blog about our story. Feel free to post it to your website of refer it to other readers if you want. 🙂 Hillary Hodge ********************** My partner had “taken the red pill” and was hip to peak oil before I had been introduced to the concept. I knew intuitively that society…
Gaze with me into the mirrors of your Multiversal mind, and see one possible future coming into view…This is not the world your mythmakers promised you — no Disneyland of techno-prosperity and consumer capitalism for all. No, this world is racked by holy wars and ethnic conflicts, Malthusian catastrophes, refugee invasions, eco-anarchy and Millennial insanity. Do you see it? There, in the frontview mirror? Do you see the chaos approaching in the twilight of this, the darkest of all ages?The chaos is descending fastest across the lands of God-drunk Islam. Thirsty Yemen is falling to the soldiers of martyred bin Laden; modernity is in on the run in flood-ravaged Pakistan; hungry Egypt marches to the tune …
The Cosmic Dance of Shiva, supreme Hindu god of destruction and creationLike many in the blogosphere, I have expended considerable mental energy in recent years studying and fretting over the various “doomer” scenarios that threaten humanity in the 21st century. There was a time when I found the apparent facts utterly depressing and was convinced that there was no light at the end of the tunnel for mankind – that the future offered nothing but total collapse and devolution. But some time during the past six months or so, and particularly with my recent turn to the “dark side”, I have come to view the doomer issues quite differently. Since making the Dark …
