Thing is, these fighters should know by now that the judges put a lot of value in takedowns and control. You could take a guy down, he could beat you up from the bottom and elbow your face bloody but you'd still win since you maintained control. I can only think of a couple of occasions where...

enjoy the new bike. I like the breakout, nice fat rear tire like the Vrod and the discontinued Rocker.

There is a lot of controversy on that topic. Just do a google search and you'll find conflicting research/statements on both sides of the argument. Its up to you to decide what to believe. Personally, I believe a lot of the "research" and often just anecdotal evidence preaching the ills of...

RE Rock Climbing shoes. Im not the most avid rock climber or anything but man those shoes kill. Im a 12.5 in most shoes but with rock climbing shoes I was fitted into 10's. They jack up toes. All day. It makes me feel sorry for women that choose to wear all them funky uncomfortable shoes.

Mammut is a good brand. They sell it at Sail(.ca) here in CAN. That looks like a good headlamp. 140 lumens. Not sure if its as comfortable/versatile as the Black Diamond's with the battery pack at the rear vs the BD's with the batteries up front but maybe I'll pick one up and give it a try.

Growing up I trained several years in Shito-Ryu & Shotokan Karate, a little bit of judo. Perhaps it was the saturday morning classes that made me dislike karate. Later in life I moved on to Capoeira and did that for nearly 5 years. That parlayed into learning gymnastics as an adult which was...

If you have a few minutes. This is a great read on the topic of how F-d up much of the U.S is with non other than the former gov of California, the Terminator himself. http://www.vanityfair.com/business/features/2011/11/michael-lewis-201111 Detriot won't be alone in going bust.

My opinion is "it depends"... If you can find a newer car that has been salvaged from an accident where all of the information related to the rebuild job is disclosed from a reputable seller (good luck here!) it may be worth the risk if the price is REALLY right and the quality of the repair is...

The whole reserving chairs/umbrellas thing early in the morning with towels is so silly but thats part of the AI game I guess. What I found more irritating than that was that I watched the "security guard" overseeing the resorts restricted beach section negotiate with locals and take money and...

The place we went to was called Palma Real in Varadero and it did the job. If all you care about doing is nothing more than chilling by the beach, getting sunshine and taking it really easy and slow **for CHEAP** than it will do the job. The food is basic but it will do the job. If your...

I did an all-inclusive last year to cuba in August and booked with itravel2000.com. I found prices to be somewhat similar from site to site but I like itravel2000's website as it is easy to navigate and compare prices and such. Everything worked out just fine and we stayed in a 3.5 and paid a...

I have a thermarest (pro) self-inflating mat and its great to sleep on. I feel warmer and sleep better on them than I do on Foam. I just hate dealing with foam but thats because I have only experienced cheap foam mats and they don't keep you warm and they wear out easily. Some of the newer...

Nothing wrong with it, just teasing. I love gear but I love it even more when its good value for money. Patagonia has some decent jackets but most of their clothing is overpriced for what it is. Its hard to justify sometimes whats worth what. Arc'Teryx has evolved into a really high end...

"pattaguci" - thats hilarious, so true. Rich middle-aged dudes love to wear the brand when they rough it on their way to Starbucks. I did see some patagonia jackets at Costco though some months back. Even discounted, still expensive.

Lots of places to buy good gear but you should shop around if you want to get good deals and dont just go to one shop. Unfortunately, I don't think there are many good deals from online Canadian retailers. MEC & Sail are both good shops to with lots of selection especially for equipment.. If...

Not exactly sure if rolling around on the ground with sweaty men, sharing skin diseases is less homo than worrying about BF%.

Cost of living is higher in australia and to offset that, wages are generally speaking, about 30% higher than here. So when you see salaries of AUD 60-100k, think of an equivalent Canadian salary range that looks more like CAD 42-70k. In AUS, you can make $40k a year working the cash...

Knowledge are you still trying to get more cut or put on muscle? I think maybe you should start eating more and pack on some more size. That dude in the pic, I think he's got a youtube channel, his name is Lavato or something like that. Being natural, it takes a lot of time man. Just...

That article is an immense exaggeration of stereotypical programmer behaviour written by a guy that probably does not see the big picture. There are some guys out there that probably relate to that article but most IT professionals (that I know and deal with) do not fit that mould. Likely...

I imagine you already have an answer for this but if not my opinion is to organize a car to take you there from the airport. You could for cheaper using buses & collectivos but its going to be a hassle for sure. If you are prepared for that, cool, if not, a car will be money well spent. Bus...
