Still, you’d like to shed a few pounds so you [...]

Over the years, I have done alot of different workouts with my martial arts.
I have used weights and I have done push ups, sit ups, running etc.

As a martial arts teacher, I have made stretching a focal point for the last 17 years of my life. Stretching can never be stressed enough when new students come in, whether they are 5 years old or 50.

In my continuing quest to harrass and annoy fellow UM contributor/Anti-DRM crusader Greg Cerveny, I’ve decided to start a new music review feature here.

Who am I?  What is the meaning of my last name? Who is my father? What is really in Mcdonald’s secret sauce? OK, well as for who you are, I don’t know. As for who is your father.. now THAT is a good question (perhaps Jerry Springer can help sort it out), and as for what’s in [...]

 
Almost empty bottle of bottom shelf gin?  Check. 
1/2 full gallon of orange juice.  Check. 
Slightly dusty bottle of cherry brandy?  Check.

A hangover from hell just waiting to happen if you’re not careful? Check.

I’m not a big fan of cars in general, but this new school from BMW sounds more than a little a tempting.  Who wouldn’t want to drive a new BMW over black ice simulators and under road dividing waterfalls ?
The BMW Performance Driving School is where you take your driving skills to the Master’s level. [...]
