A while ago, I learned about Krav Maga from watching a program on National Geographic. I have always been interested in martial arts but never seemed to find a style that suited me. Although earning a black belt in something would be an honor, I never wanted to learn martial arts for the sport of it. I wanted skills that would allow me to effectively handle an unexpected attack in everyday life.
Krav Maga Self Defense
For those unaware of Krav Maga, a brief history of it can be found here. It is used by Israeli security forces and by military and law enforcement departments all over the world. In technical terms terms, it is a hand-to-hand combat system first developed in Czechoslovakia that involves striking techniques, wrestling and grappling, and other self-defense tactics designed to quickly neutralize an attacker or defuse a dangerous situation.
In simplified terms, it’s a skill that makes you a potentially lethal weapon. If anyone would try to rob you, rape you, or jump you, it would be the worst decision of his short life.
Krav Maga has no sporting federation, and there are no official uniforms or attire, point systems, or trophies to earn. If you want self-defense skills to use in real-life situations, then this might be the thing for you.
Krav Maga is slowly catching on here in the U.S. Visit Krav Maga Worldwide for more info. I am currently looking into training in Minnesota and have found two so far: one in Chaska, and one in Minneapolis. I know nothing about either, so if you have information to share, please comment.

You know you have been into a couple of these bands before. Admit it. Well here is what John Peck says these bands say about you. Here are some of my favorites.
Jimi Hendrix: You are under 20 or over 65.
Chicago: You are incapable of talking about Chicago without mentioning their horn section.
Foreigner: You have a severely wrinkled Jane Fonda poster under your bed.
Styx: You have a severely wrinkled Foreigner poster under your bed.
Journey: You own those running shoes that are shaped like feet.
See these many others on the original post here. (via McSweeney’s)

B McKinnie
It was revealed the other day that Minnesota Vikings tackle Bryant McKinnie partied down with celebs at a posh Hollywood nightclub recently. The bar tab? $100k. I couldn’t imagine spending that kind of money even if I had it, but to each their own, right?
Lets take a look at other things with a $100k price tag.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have released the working title of their newest album (being finished now), and it’s a mouthful: – “Dr Johnny Skinz’s Disproportionately Rambunctious Polar Express Machine-head.”
But it’s not really THAT long.
RHCP
If you want to see a really long album title, then check this. One of the longest album title that actually made the charts was by Fiona Apple (remember her?). It was titled: “When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He’ll Win the Whole Thing ‘Fore He Enters the Ring There’s No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won’t Matter, Cuz You’ll Know That You’re Right.”
The album title contains 90 words and, including spaces, 446 characters. (via)
Chumbawamba album title
Die-hard fans of Chumbawamba will of course remember their 2008 release of ‘The Boy Bands Have Won…” which contains 865 characters and holds the record for the longest album title, as of August 2009.

On this day in 1983 Donald Davis ran 1 mile backwards in 6 minutes 7.1 seconds. However, the record for running the fastest mile backwards is now 6 min 2.35 sec and was set by D. Joseph James (India) at Nehru Stadium Athletics Track, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India on 10 August 2002. See this record (and more) in the Guinness Book of Records.
