Most people are doing nothing at all, they’re simply not planning to retire. When evaluating the most common financial mistakes people make, a very simple yet common pattern emerges: Most people are doing nothing at all as far as planning to retire.

Friday Afternoon Find: A Tudor Sub So Tropical, We Actually Have No Idea What We're Looking At
HODINKEE27 Jan 2012 | 4:54 pmThere is tropical, and then there is just downright ridiculous. As we've told you before, serious vintage Rolex collectors love it when the black part of a dial turns brown - they call it "chocolate" or "tropical." In many cases, people will pay a large premium for tropical dials. The watch we spotted today over on VRF goes beyond chocolate and beyond tropical - in fact the damn dial is so faded it's illegible to the naked eye. What it is is a vintage Tudor Submariner Ref 7298 with pointed crown guards - a pretty cool and valuable piece. But, the dial on this one is, well, really,… -

Write This Down: Note-Taking Strategies for Academic Success
27 Jan 2012 | 12:17 amA few weeks ago, we published an article on study tips to help you ace your exams. In that post, I mentioned the possibility of doing a follow-up article on note-taking, and many of you requested that I make that happen. And I’m happy to oblige. Below, I’ve provided a primer on note-taking strategies, many of which I personally used during my academic career. A lot of this is fairly basic stuff–there are no “secrets” to note-taking success. But hopefully a few of these tips will help you start taking notes more effectively. Note-Taking Tools Laptop For most of… -
Ready, Set, Fast: How Strategic Meal-Skipping Can Help You Lose Fat, Gain Muscle, and Get Healthier
24 Jan 2012 | 11:17 pmEditor’s note: This is a guest post by John Berardi, PhD. When we were kids, Mom was always looking out for our health. Chew your food. Eat your vegetables. And always eat breakfast because it’s the most important meal of the day. As busy grown-ups, a good breakfast often falls victim to the time crunch. Who has time to cook and eat a breakfast of champions? It’s so much faster and more convenient to just grab a coffee and a bran muffin. Of course, deep down we know it’s not right. Not only would Mom disapprove, that pudgy physique in the mirror deserves better, too. So what’s a guy… -

Pick Of The Week: Stanley Thermos
27 Jan 2012 | 5:07 pmHey you! Yeah, you with the cup of shitty bodega coffee and/or $5 Starbucks coffee in your hand. You should get a thermos. It will make your life so much better. Hear me out. I don’t work from an office these days, but when I did, I spent way too much money on coffee (and, on my better rested days, tea) that was simply not very tasty. A big, hot thermos of good coffee brought from home would have made my days at least 10% better. Maybe 20%. My friend Deb recommends this Stanley thermos for all of your thermos needs, because it’s leak proof, well designed, and keeps her miso soup… -

Amy Winehouse’s Family Are Less Than Thrilled About Gaultier’s Spring 2012 Tribute To Their Daughter
27 Jan 2012 | 3:45 pmWell, you can’t win them all. No matter what you do, there seems to be a 10% factor of those who are going to hate on you. Although fans of Amy Winehouse and Jean Paul Gaultier swooned over his gorgeous Spring 2012 Couture show in Paris this week because it was not only stunning but was devoted to the late singer, her family were none to pleased with his choice. Gaultier’s reason for paying homage Winehouse was, as he told WWD, “I think Amy Winehouse was truly a fashion icon.” Shortly after photos of the collection were posted all over fashion blogs Amy’s father,… -
Middle School Does The Right Thing, Bans Ugg Boots
27 Jan 2012 | 2:58 pmHave you ever wished Ugg boots would just go away? The good folks at Pottstown Middle School in Pottstown, PA have, but unlike most people, they didn’t just fantasize longingly about burning all the students’ Ugg boots in one big bonfire. They fucking got off their asses and did something about it. Okay, so they didn’t actually ban the boots due to fashion concerns, but because students were using them to sneak cell phones into class. Still, it’s a step in the right direction. The ends justify the means. Or is it the other way around in this case? The new policy on… -
Friday Style Icon: Dorothy Parker (With Bonus Obscure-ish Quotes)

Another thing a lot of people don’t know? That she and Robert Benchley subscribed to undertaker trade magazines and then cut them up and added jokes to make their own magazine From Grave To Gay! Why is this not a magazine that exists right now? Fine. Change the word “gay”. Fine. Other than that. Why don’t you start it? Why don’t you dress like Dorothy Parker, find a platonic male best friend who…

Free Cedar Shoe Trees with Every $250+ Pair of Shoes

But there were always little things, nagging frustrations, pet peeves, that made me think: "if I ever have a store of my own, I'd do that differently."

We've Entered the Steel Age
17 Jan 2012 | 1:23 pmIntroduced two years ago, Visconti's Homo Sapiens pens have proven quite popular (or as popular as any exquisite, and expensive, writing instrument can be). This success undoubtedly has much to do with the pens' unique material: they're made from volcanic lava take from Mt. Etna, Sicily. It doesn't get much more old school than that. However, a segment of the writing (as opposed to typing) public clamored for the same pen, albeit with silver trim in lieu of bronze. Ask and ye shall receive: we can now offer the Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Age collection.Prices start at $325.

A dad's point of view - value, money, our kids and the real world
25 Jan 2012 | 11:34 pmThere is a reason that money is on that short list of things that couples argue about most. What are the other things? Sex, and the kids, of course. With the state of our worldwide economy being in such flux, money is a more pressing issue for couples and families than any other time in my life. Financial literacy for our kids and for us parents is more important than ever before! As a baby-boomer, it's my unequivocal opinion that the only good thing 'My Generation' produced was some pretty terrific music.

Inspire your kids with sky lanterns
24 Jan 2012 | 11:00 pmOn a recent trip to Thailand I picked up a "Sky Lantern" (mini hot air balloon / make a wish balloon) which is used as part of the new moon festival (Loy Krathong). During the festival the Thai sky is filled with millions of these sky lanterns - quite an impressive sight (see video below). But they are also quite impressive even when you just launch a single sky lantern with your kids from the backyard. We lit up our sky lantern to Celebrate Chinese New Year ... but you can really do this on any day (as long as there's no wind). Most lantern are super easy to make (tissue paper, wire and a… -

21 Jan 2012 | 11:33 pmWhy don’t more masculine men show their bulge in public? A codpiece was an important item of European clothing in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is a covering flap or pouch that attaches to the front of the crotch of men’s trousers and usually accentuates the genital area. In the 70s men wore tight jeans with faded sections at the groin and where not afraid to show off a bulge in public. This has changed. Is the modern, masculine man avoiding to show off a bulge in public or do you see a revival? Do the Datedick bulge poll Join men into big bulges and big nipples only on…

Huge Freighter Plows Through Kentucky Bridge
28 Jan 2012 | 12:34 amWhat is up with the poor maritime decisions these days? Have we forgotten how to sail? As in, the human race? Thursday evening, a beast of a freighter, the 312 foot Delta Mariner, literally plowed through a section of the Eggner Ferry Bridge in Kentucky. The bridge spans the Kentucky Lake Reservoir, and it is traveled daily by several thousand drivers. The bridge was scheduled to be replaced, but not in such a manner. The Delta Mariner was carrying quite precious cargo–headed south to deliver various rocket parts to Cape Canaveral in Florida, as part of an effort by the United Launch… -
Ferris Bueller is Back?

There’s no way they keep that one under wraps. The release date in the teaser is listed as February 5th, aka Super Bowl Sunday. So…let’s take our wild guesses. What will they be advertising? OK. We already know. It’s for Honda. Ferris skipping work, perhaps… -
Rihanna Gets New Ink Done — Thug Life?
27 Jan 2012 | 1:08 pmThe internet loves Rihanna – that girl keeps pumping out albums. She’s like the overfertilized chicken of the pop industry, with a voice to match. Rihanna is interesting as a performance project, because she’s managed to become one of the biggest pop stars in the world whilst having other people write her songs for her entirely. Literally. She hasn’t written one. People are hired to go to a songwriting camp, and for the low price of a million dollars a day, they pump out Rihanna’s greatest hits. So it’s no surprise that yesterday, Rihanna got ‘Thug Life’ tattooed across her… -

7 Year Old Writes Letter to 49ers Kyle Williams
26 Jan 2012 | 11:19 pmHe muffed the punt…not really…but by rule…technically. Resulting in a turnover. Then he fumbled a punt in overtime. Resulting in a turnover. With the ball deep in 49ers territory, that was ultimately all it took to send the Giants to the Super Bowl. Sure, nobody has mentioned the excellent field position that Kyle Williams handed to the 49ers offense repeatedly, only for the offense to sputter, time and time again. Why would they? Most football fans don’t know crap about football. Few actually played at a high level. Some fans let loose with their inner monologue on…

As it stands now, they’re in last and New York and Boston are fighting over scraps with losing records while the 76ers run wild and away with an easy division without actually having to run anywhere at all.

Hef’s Movie Notes: City Lights
27 Jan 2012 | 3:11 pmTonight: Charles Chaplin in the five-star masterpiece City Lights. It is Chaplin’s ultimate achievement in silent films—made three years after the arrival of sound. Chaplin’s life and career had a very real influence on me when I was growing up in Chicago. I loved his films and identified with him when his personal life and political views threatened to destroy him. Born in London in 1889, Chaplin first appeared on the music-hall stage at the age of five, when his mother was unable to perform. His father dead and his mother suffering from a nervous breakdown, Chaplin and his brother… -

We are finished with the digital verses analog camera debate so let’s not go through the same with digital cameras and iPhone photography. Sure, you will produce a better quality product if you use a Canon EOS 60D, but why harp on those who want to use their camera phone? It’s nonsensical to complain about what is considered the proper way to produce a genuine photograph since most of the artists who are complaining about iPhone photography are using 100-200… -

The Parable Explained
27 Jan 2012 | 11:57 amI loved reading your interpretations of the parable I posted a couple days ago. There’s no right meaning I guess. But there is a meaning I had in mind. The little girl is me. I come to Christ and he tells me I can be more – I can be like him. He sees something of himself in me like the maestro stroking the little girl’s slender fingers with his own also-thin thumb. The “seed” of Christ is in me, Paul says, waiting to be developed. Now there are many practices God uses to develop Christ in me, or, as Paul put it, “conform” me to the “image of the… -
The Parable Of The Obedient Piano Student
25 Jan 2012 | 5:40 pmAfter the concert, the little girl sheepishly slinked her way up to the man in black. She held her first year piano book out to the maestro. He stooped and uncapped his pen. “Do you play the piano?” he asked, scribbling his name in great loops and quick slashes on a corner of the thin book’s cover. “I’m not very good,” she confessed. “Well, there’s no reason you can’t be,” he said, taking her hand in his, running his thin thumb down her long slender fingers. “You’re made to play the piano.” “My brother says… -
Tim Tebow’s Rabbit’s Foot
24 Jan 2012 | 12:22 pm“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” -A.W.Tozer I watched the comments at NFL.com stream in as the Patriots slaughtered the Broncos. “Pray your way out of this one Timmy.” “I guess Jesus had better things to do today.” (And those are the repeatable ones.) Tim Tebow has inadvertantly revealed more about the state of faith in America than any pollster or sociologist could. If we’re listening well we can learn a great deal about the gospel – not the one we believe, but the one we’ve preached. Some… -
Passing On What Was Given To Us
17 Jan 2012 | 12:49 pmI became a Christian when I was twelve. Shortly after that I met RJ Holt. He was a college student sacking groceries at the store across the street from my house. He hung out with middle schoolers at our church on Wednesday and Sunday nights. And on Tuesdays, I think it was, I rode my bike across town after school to talk with RJ about how to read the bible and pray and be more like Jesus. RJ moved away and became a youth minister in California. Steve Dement took over his job. Not as night stock boy but as teacher and friend. Steve was an attorney in his late thirties, a single guy living… -
Please Play With Me?
12 Jan 2012 | 3:43 pmI take one step out of the stairway and onto the living room floor and “Please play with me?” The boy shaped puzzle is forcing a pleasant smile, his desperate sales pitch to everyone he meets in the world – the cashier, children at the park, the FedEx man, dad – his lovable un-leavable best. “Please play with me?” I hurry across the room explaining for the dozenth time today that I’m still working. I’m petitioned between phone calls, breaking to brew tea, rushing to the restroom. “Please play with me?” We hoped Christmas and two sets…

Friday Afternoon Find: A Tudor Sub So Tropical, We Actually Have No Idea What We're Looking At
27 Jan 2012 | 4:54 pmThere is tropical, and then there is just downright ridiculous. As we've told you before, serious vintage Rolex collectors love it when the black part of a dial turns brown - they call it "chocolate" or "tropical." In many cases, people will pay a large premium for tropical dials. The watch we spotted today over on VRF goes beyond chocolate and beyond tropical - in fact the damn dial is so faded it's illegible to the naked eye. What it is is a vintage Tudor Submariner Ref 7298 with pointed crown guards - a pretty cool and valuable piece. But, the dial on this one is, well, really,… -
Introducing The Cartier Santos-Dumont Skeleton In Pink Gold (Live Photos)
27 Jan 2012 | 8:37 amThe Santos-Dumont is a classic on the Cartier line-up, and the skeleton is something of cult favorite among collectors. The deco numerals cut right into the structure of the watch are artfully done - in fact, the roman numerals are actually formed by the skeletonized bridges of the movement - and to see the Cartier calibre 9614 MC fully exposed in all its glory is really an impressive sight. This year, the Santos-Dumont Skeleton is introduced in pink gold for the first time and the result is just stunning. Each pink gold Santos-Dumont Skeleton will be individually numbered… -
An Early Look At The Hamilton intra-matic: A Winner From Basel 2012, Already
26 Jan 2012 | 11:07 amHamilton invited us to breakfast this morning to see the highlights of their Basel 2012 collection. There were some really excellent pieces, but the one that really caught our eye was the brand new intra-matic (all lower case). The watch is clearly vintage inspired, and just as it was in the 1950s, it will be the sister watch to the Thin-O-Matic, the tribute of which we saw last year. The intra-matic feature simple stick markers with a domed crystal and dial. It is a thin watch at around 7mm thick. The intra-matic is great looking, and will be available in both steel… -

Barcelona Soccer Player Eric Abidal Gives Cancer-Stricken 15-Year-Old The Rolex Right Off His Wrist
25 Jan 2012 | 11:42 amEric Abidal is a defenseman for Barcelona. He is also a cancer survivor, and one hell of a guy. Abidal survived liver cancer just last year, and since then has become very active in supporting the fight against all forms of the disease. Recently, the father of a 15-year-old cancer-stricken boy named Juan Garcia wrote a letter to a Spanish newspaper describing how Abidal was his son's inspiration for the fight to get better. Abidal actually visited the cancer ward where he met with Garcia and several other sick children. At the end of the meeting, Abidal took the gold Rolex…

New Gear from BumChums
21 Jan 2012 | 1:45 pmBack in December I briefly mentioned one of my favorite new brands Bum-Chums in my holiday gift guide. Today I'd like to spend a little time to tell you a bit more about the brand and some of their new collections. Bum-Chums is a British company, but recently they have exploded across the pond to the United States as well as Australia and Europe. Perhaps one of the most unusual but key aspects of the Bum-Chums brand is the location of manufacture; Bum-Chums manufacture all their high quality products in Yorkshire, England, and can therefore truly claim to be a wholly British… -

Standing up to the statists
27 Jan 2012 | 7:20 pmFrom Rand Paul and Campaign For Liberty:The one place that has been largely free of government control - the internet - is the statists’ latest target.Dual bills, SOPA and Protect IP, are set for action in the U.S. House and Senate in the coming weeks.As I write this, rumors are circulating that SOPA and Protect IP may be scrapped. But as we’ve seen countless times before, including with ObamaCare, the special interests will never stop fighting for more power at the expense of our freedoms. We need to turn the pressure up to make sure these bills are dead for good.If you value the freedom… -

Bushmills & ACL Whiskey Tote
26 Jan 2012 | 2:57 pmDon’t be the guy who shows up with booze in a plastic bag. Instead, opt for something classier, like Bushmills and ACL‘s whiskey tote ($20), a super limited edition black-and-white bag made out of tough canvas, and designed to carry two 750ml bottles of whiskey (or Scotch). The bag features a zippered compartment on the inside, while the canvas’s interior is screenprinted with a classic illustration of the Bushmills distillery in Northern Ireland. Best of all, you’d be drinking for charity (all the proceeds from the totes go towards the Red Cross Disaster Relief… -

We’ve got things like Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton’s shoes, which are hideous. Hideous. Are they made of papier-mâché? Kind of looks like it. We’re not really sure those will make it through the game, but hell, they make a statement! Cam Newton says to himself, “I am so badass, I can wear papier-mâché shoes that are yellow and orange and have blue laces! -
Kim Kardashian Trying To Get In Tim Tebow’s Pants

Clearly, she needs to spice things up on the TV show, so she’s turned to Denver Broncos Tim Tebow. He’s definitely an upgrade over New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries. Unfortunately, Tebow isn’t having any of it. “Kim has a big crush on Tim,” a friend confided. “She says he’s not only very handsome but seems like a guy with really strong values.” But it’s more than just infatuation for Kim, 31. Even though she has her own money, pals claim she’s also seeing dollar signs in the… -

That’s Why Dana White Is Pissed Off! Hacker Attacks UFC Boss, Releases SS#

White supports SOPA. That didn’t sit well with Internet hackers. So last night, one Twitter user named @JoshTheGod decided to go after White on a personal level. We’re told that there is a file floating around with a SS#, a VIN # & personal phone numbers. Who is this Josh dude?

Super Bowl betting: The girl with the “Giant” tattoo?
25 Jan 2012 | 6:23 amSaw an interesting wager posted on Sports Interaction for Super Bowl XLVI. The bet is “Rooney Mara to win the Oscar for Best Actress and NY Giants to win Super Bowl XLVI.” That bet is listed at +5500. Now that is certainly a risky bet seeing as the New York Giants are 3-ppint underdogs and Mara is a +2500 long shot to win the Best Actress Oscar. But, if you were to win, that would be a huge score. So any takers? -
Mamma mia! Raptors actually win a game

Not only did the Raptors end a eight-game losing streak, the ended a 14-game losing streak to Steve Nash and the Suns. Now did I see this big win? Well, kind of. I did watch the end of the second quarter before heading to bed. The west coast trips have never been easy on me since I moved to Halifax and to be honest, this season I am not that into it.

27 Jan 2012 | 1:00 pmWhen every kid was younger, it seemed parents made sure Lego models were always around. It kept kids busy, made them think, and allowed them to build something from scratch – even if it did take about a month to actually complete. With the popularity of Lego expanding to a new generation, it doesn’t seem the [...] -

Snoop Dogg launches Executive Branch cigars
16 Jan 2012 | 1:48 pmSnoop Dogg has a line of toys, his own reality show and malt liquor. But can he be the next Jonathan Drew or Rocky Patel? Probably not, but Snoop’s launched his own line of cigars, called Executive Branch. Its first product will be the Executive Branch Cigarillos, which will go for 99 cents a pouch, with two cigars per pouch. According to the press release, the cigarillos will feature “premium tobacco from the Dominican Republic,” but at the price point, it remains to be seen. Flavored cigars are also on deck later this year. “Throughout 2012, we plan on releasing new… -
Fausto FT140 by Tatuaje Cigars
8 Sep 2011 | 9:19 pmCountry of Origin: Nicaragua Wrapper: Habano Ecuador Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan Length: 5 1/2″ Ring: 52 Tasting Notes: Well constructed, honestly I don’t think I’ve ever seen a poorly constructed cigar from Tatuaje. The cigar is firm but has a fantastic draw. I’m picking up some black pepper before lighting it, leaving my mouth tingling. After lighting up the first third is dominated by the spice, with a nice heavy smoke that coats your mouth. The spice mellows a bit around the halfway mark, picking up some leather, wood, and black coffee. I’m a bit… -
Brewery using cigar box wood, Cuban espresso to make a beer that tastes like Tampa heritage – The Washington Post
26 Aug 2011 | 11:43 pmWhen a friend gave Joey Redner a taste of a beer that had been aged with Spanish cedar — the wood used to wrap and box cigars — he knew it was an idea worth stealing. The aroma and flavor instantly reminded the then avid home brewer of his hometown’s historic Ybor City and the hand-rolled cigars Tampa is famous for. And he knew that if he ever owned a brewery, his beer needed to evoke the same memories. via Brewery using cigar box wood, Cuban espresso to make a beer that tastes like Tampa heritage – The Washington Post.

Fire Destroys Two Arturo Fuente Tobacco Warehouses | News & Features | Cigar Aficionado
26 Aug 2011 | 11:42 pmAn early Tuesday morning fire burned down two large tobacco warehouses of Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia., the manufacturer of Fuente Fuente Opus X and Arturo Fuente cigars. The fire in Villa Gonzalez, near the company’s main offices in Santiago, Dominican Republic, completely destroyed large inventories of aged tobacco and possibly caused smoke damage to some other nearby storage facilities. “We don’t really know how much tobacco we have lost,” said Carlos Fuente Jr. in a telephone interview from the Dominican Republic today. “But it was a lot—a lot of… -
Cigar retailers are hurting – Times Union
26 Aug 2011 | 11:41 pmI find it comical to see on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Website how he encourages people to start up a new business in New York, yet he won’t help those who are in business already. New York cigar retailers face a whopping 75 percent tax on the wholesale cost of cigars. As a retailer, I will pay $100 for a box of cigars from my vendor. Add the $75 tax and that brings the cost to $175. Add a 20 percent markup and the retail cost of that box of cigars is now $210. via Cigar retailers are hurting – Times Union.

20 Innovative Brands Focused on Game-Changing Products
27 Jan 2012 | 2:13 pmHere’s a quick mental exercise for you. Imagine you were faced with a fight, in which you knew your opponent was bigger, stronger, more experienced, and had access to the best facilities, trainers, and coaches money could buy. Would you step into the ring? It’s a terrible analogy, but those kind of Rocky odds are what nearly every new independent brand faces today. Amazingly, despite having the deck stacked against them, plenty of small, passion-fueled companies are creating incredibly innovative products with one goal in mind; revolutionizing their respective industries.

Kickstarter: 1661 Poitín Small Batch Traditional Irish Spirit
27 Jan 2012 | 11:23 amPoitín is essentially the traditional Irish equivalent to moonshine and holds a reputation for being one of the strongest spirits in the world, thanks to its 60%-95% ABV. Its Gaelic name references the small copper pots used in its distillation and the booze is commonly found throughout homes on the Emerald Isle. Poitín is in many ways a symbol of Irish independence too, since it was banned for over 300 years by the English Crown in 1661. While two companies have been officially licensed to distill the spirit since 1989, it’s still incredibly difficult to find in the states, so Ashlee… -
American Cookery by Amelia Simmons
27 Jan 2012 | 9:45 amAmerican Cookery ($10) is the first cookbook written by an American. Strangely, the only details that are actually known about its author come from the words “American orphan” found on the cover. Other hints from the book’s text suggest she was a domestic laborer who lacked formal education. The book was published originally in 1796 and much of its contents revolve around using traditional English cooking methods with American ingredients. Before then, English cookbooks were the only items available and called for ingredients not readily accessible in the new world. For instance, its… -

Brutus 2.0
26 Jan 2012 | 3:41 pmMotorcycles are already far more efficient than their automotive petrol-hog brethren. Now that electric varieties have popped on the scene, you’ll start to see manufacturers emerge with new exhaust-free bikes and eventually go mainstream. The new and beefy Brutus 2.0 certainly doesn’t look like an electric bike hippies would fawn over, thanks to its sinister stance, uber-thick profile and prominent gold flake frame paint job. Brutus part deux also features a decidedly better lithium-powered battery compared to the original’s lead-acid power supply, as well a new chain-drive…

What Happens When We Don’t Teach Boys about Sex
10 Jan 2012 | 4:44 pmTo not teach children about the sacredness of their bodies and their sexuality is one of the CORE abandonments of our time. This post is about the mess we are in around male sexuality. I am here to name it and simply put it in the open for all of us to see. I received ZERO training around sex or my body until age 34. None. My dad dropped the ball as did my culture. My first sexual experience was traumatic. I experienced shame, humiliation and betrayal all in one dark night. This became my imprint that I am still dealing with to this day. Instead of learning, I went into hiding like most men… -
The Sacred Masculine
13 Dec 2011 | 4:36 pmTo the men out there who are awakening to a more embodied way of being in this world, thank you. You give my son inspiring options when he looks up at adult men walking through this world. While many men are struggling big time and remain very locked up, others are breaking free of their conditioning and taking balanced, conscious action in their lives. To celebrate this masculine expansion, and to go further, I’m organizing the Boulder Men’s Experience. At the core of this event is the sacred masculine. What is the sacred masculine? I’m not really sure, but from the… -
Taking a Risk

It brought me to tears, twice (Thanks Indigo for sending this along). It woke up the dreaming child in me. It helped me get unstuck in 6 minutes. What I love most about it is his playful, cosmic message to simply take a risk. And that’s what I’m about to do… Nahko (Medicine for the People) from The Portland Sessions on Vimeo. -
Surrendering Into Greater Love
11 Nov 2011 | 10:51 amPhoto By Joshua Levin As many of you know, I have been in a massive surrendering process for almost two years now. My habitual “push” is getting less and less air time and my willingness to surrender and trust is becoming more of a daily reality. My ongoing softening process has been facilitated largely by my children. They continue to chisel away at my defenses and blocks, opening me to more and more love. I’m also getting support from my wife Ellen, Megan Eggers, David Cates, meditation, and the occasional ayahuasca dive. More support recently came from an experience at…

6 Drinks to Order at the Gay Bar
18 Jan 2012 | 2:26 pmOne of the fringe benefits of knowing me, being 21+, and coming to my events is that I will often offer you one and/or many free drinks. It's a perk! I offer it to friends and cute guys! You should totally accept one.Something I've noticed when I offer friends or visitors a free drink is that they often don't know what to order. They say "I don't know, what are you having?" or "I don't normally order drinks!"Basically these guys are of the "pour vodka in a Diet Coke because that's what's at this house party" variety. This needs to be addressed.Let me say this: part of your job of being a gay… -

Sure, as the hours go on, and the drinks continue going down, these conversations get blurry. But that doesn't matter. A conversation is a conversation.Something I've noticed from my thousands of conversations is that gay boys say a lot of things that they think are unique about them, usually negative. They mutter something with a sad face, their heads downturned. They expect me to nod sagely and say, "ah yes, friend,… -

Why when you eat is as important as what you eat
29 Nov 2011 | 6:03 pmMost people don’t eat enough and those that do, eat too much — of the wrong food — at the wrong time. And, consuming poor quality food will result in a poorly performing person. What exactly is “poor quality food?” Food containing artificial ingredients and additives (used to lengthen a food’s shelf life, maybe to enhance food color and or taste or to make preparation of the food easier). Some you may have heard of: Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Saccharin and Aspartame (sweeteners), FD&C Yellow No. 6 (in macaroni and cheese, cotton candy, soda,… -
Snoring leads to weight gain which leads to binge eating which leads to snoring
22 Nov 2011 | 5:50 amCan snoring make you fat? If the snorer is you or lying next to you, chances are it might. Studies have shown that snoring causes hormonal changes that makes you more hungry, especially for sugary, fatty, ‘comfort’ foods. Although considered a subjectively annoying problem, snoring affects everyone. And, a person who snores excessively and loudly could have an underlying, significantly more serious problem. “The darker side to snoring is obstructive sleep apnea, which snoring is often an indicator of,” advised Dr. Daniel Smith, co-director of the Focus Center of Sleep Apnea and… -
A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips: How “one more bite” will make you fat(ter)
17 Nov 2011 | 11:30 pmEver felt full? You know, the I-just-can’t-eat-another-thing full feeling? Unfortunately, some people only hear “oh hell, what’s one-more-bite going to do?” Those people eventually end up staying fat. Leptin regulates those “feelings” of hunger and ultimately, our weight. In the mid-1990s, scientists discovered leptin. Leptin regulates those “feelings” of hunger and ultimately, our weight. Our brain regulates most of what it is that we do (via neurotransmitters and hormones), and the signals we get are often derived from the foods that we eat — and those that we… -
Does this gym make me look fat? When BDD is your BFF
15 Nov 2011 | 10:14 pmSometimes I schedule (or cancel) meetings around the gym. Otherwise, if I don’t, and end up missing the gym, I feel fat. Although things seem to work out (generally), I now wonder if this is becoming a problem. Is the very act of going to the gym — a habit that changed my life — now a hinderance, preventing me from achieving other goals? “Maybe you have BDD” a friend suggested. Hmm, maybe I do. What is BDD? Body Dysmorphic Disorder occurs when one can’t stop thinking about a flaw with your appearance. It is a disorder characterized by physical symptoms that cannot be…

A New Resource for Men
15 Jan 2012 | 12:35 amIf you like Journey of Integrity… you should truly enjoy: www.owenmarcus.com. For the past year and half I have posted a couple of time per week on men issues, men’s groups and relationships. The popularity of the blog continues to grow. I moved to posting on this new blog to build my platform for the book I wrote, Grow Up, Men: Your 9-step Path to Releasing the Remarkable Man Inside You. My premise is that as men we aren’t bad or broken – we never got to learn how to be the man we want to be. Most men had more exposure to women when they grew up than they did to men. My dad was gone… -
Commiting to Whole Conversation
9 Sep 2010 | 1:19 pmImage via Wikipedia I often have inspirational thoughts in my head that I hope will help me have a better life. Sayings like “do one thing today that will change your life” or “speak your truth from your heart” or “listen to be heard”. The problem is most of these don’t stick. I suppose they serve their purpose and then fade away. There are a few, however, that do seem to stick. And I am really aware of one of them right now in my life. My inspiration is “I will commit to showing up for a whole conversation in my significant relationships (and… -

Why Do I Sweat?
8 Sep 2010 | 12:34 amImage by lierne via Flickr No, I don’t mean that kind of sweat. I am a guy and I can sweat aplenty. I mean sweat lodges. We just did one on Wednesday night instead of our normal group. Over the years I have probably done ten or twelve sweats. I often also choose to be part of the fire crew which means I get a double dose of heat from the lodge and the fire. For the un-initiated a sweat lodge can be hot. I don’t know how hot but compared to a sauna they are hotter. The heat and accepting are the challenge. I have always felt challenged by the heat in the lodge but never so… -
A New Men’s Site
14 Aug 2010 | 12:09 pmI recently started www.mansmanifesto.com in part to apply what we do in our group on a larger level. Over the years of being in men’s groups I have learned a lot about not only myself, but also about men and how we change. I have seen that with coaching men that much of the change seen in the group can be fostered individually. I also stated the blog as way to expand the dialogue about growing up to be the men we want to be. It takes a community to raise a child; it takes a planet to grow men. a No related posts.

Drake’s Denogginizer Double IPA Review
23 Jan 2012 | 8:03 pmToday, I review Drake’s Denogginizer Double IPA. This double IPA is brewed by Drake’s Brewing in San Leandro, CA.

The One Thing That Bugs Me About Reservist
24 Jan 2012 | 9:38 pmI was on reservist last week. As usual, that meant, digging up my old uniform, my fullpack, SBO and helmet, and most importantly, my non-camera phone. I have this second-hand LG phone that I bought many years ago for in-camp training. My last call-up was in 2008 so I didn't even expect it to be working. I stuck the charger in, switched it on, and lo and behold, it was alive!read more -

My Start to The Perfect Year

UFC on FOX: Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis
26 Jan 2012 | 4:35 pmWell, let’s hope the Ultimate Fighting Championship and FOX learned its collective lesson from the Cain Velasquez-Junior dos Santos debacle. Appears on the surface that they have. Sure, company president Dana White came out against all the naysayers about the one-fight, one-round event, but if he didn’t somewhat agree with what they had to say, he wouldn’t have scheduled three events for this go-around. Or maybe FOX learned its lesson. Who knows? Hopefully, Saturday, Jan. 28, 2012, will turn out to be the primetime showcase the first one should have been. Here are The Rugged’s… -
Who are the true elite quarterbacks of the NFL?
26 Jan 2012 | 9:44 amWhat makes a quarterback elite? This question is going to come up a lot in the next two weeks. Many classify Dan Marino as one of the best of all time, though the Miami Dolphins front man never won a Super Bowl. Neither did Jim Kelly, another solid performer for the Buffalo Bills, though, God help him, he tried. These two men were considered among the elites of the game, but it’s doubtful they would look at their careers with a complete measure of satisfaction after coming so close to the Dance and walking away without an offer, a kiss, or a pinch on the ass. But is winning the big game… -

25 Jan 2012 | 5:26 amIt’s the last W.I.F. before the Royal Rumble. Shall we talk a look at each match? Well, too bad, that’s what we’re doing. By the way, is this not the creepiest poster for a PPV? I’ve had nightmares about being eaten alive by bugs that weren’t as creepy as that poster. Jeez. CM Punk (c) vs Dolph Ziggler – WWE Championship Match - Despite the fact that that whole purpose of this match is to push the Punk/John Lauranitis feud, it’s still nice to see Dolph Ziggler in the main of event of one of WWE’s major PPVs.

The Key to Bigger Arms-Hint: It’s What You’re NOT Doing
24 Jan 2012 | 11:58 am"So eh---You workout?" So if you’re like every other ‘gym rat’ on the planet you want bigger arms. This is understandable. In fact, I am right there with you-big arms means you’re a bigger badass. Now this might come as a surprise to you, but the key to bigger arms is not doing endless sets of bicep curls, but rather strapping on a pair of balls and pulling some heavy weight…and a few other tricks. A Work of Art Let’s put this in perspective… Michelangelo didn’t start flinging paint at the Sistine Chapel hoping it would form one of the most well renowned… -
Will They or Won’t They? 10 Movie Franchises (Maybe) Coming to a Theater Near You
23 Jan 2012 | 4:53 pmHollywood loves to make a franchise. Any time something hits big, they flog that horse long after she’s dead. So now The Rugged takes the opportunity to look into its film crystal ball at some of the rumored franchises on the horizon. We dare to ask the question, Will They or Won’t They? Here are 10 Movie Franchises (Maybe) Coming to a Theater Near You. 1. Robocop Little disturbed by this one. The first was such a classic that a “reboot” treatment (or the more detestable “reimagining”) sounds like sacrilege. Add to the mix that director Jose Padilha is a relative…

Quick Smoke: Liga Privada Unico Series L40
28 Jan 2012 | 2:00 amEach Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.” This lancero is a relatively new and limited cigar from the Liga Privada Unico Series, which is the home of experimental, one-off cigars from Drew Estate including the Dirty Rat and Ferel Flying Pig. The L40 (7 x 40) uses a Connecticut stalk-cut Habano wrapper, Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and Nicaraguan filler. It tastes of earth, dark chocolate, oak, and coffee. It’s medium-bodied and not nearly as spicy or interesting as the… -
Stogie Guys Friday Sampler No. 274

Below is our latest Friday Sampler. 1) One week before Indianapolis hosts Super Bowl XLVI between the Giants and the Patriots, anti-tobacco politicians in Indiana are still pushing for a statewide smoking ban. Now, to pass the bill, some legislators are lobbying to exempt bars. As it currently stands, the only exemptions are for private clubs, casinos, hookah bars, and retail tobacco shops. “The House last year approved a smoking ban bill that included an exemption for bars, but… -
Cigar Review: Tatuaje Havana Cazadores
26 Jan 2012 | 2:00 amThe other day I was browsing our cigar reviews archive and discovered something that surprised me. Despite well over 500 reviews, my colleagues and I have never written a full review of a cigar from the original (Brown Label) Tatuaje Cabinet line. Even with 19 Tatuaje reviews, including multiple “five stogie” ratings, and a few Brown Label variations (Reserva SW and Reserva Porkchop), the “Selección de Cazadore” line were somehow missed. To remedy this I decided to review the Havana Cazadores (6.4 x 42). Billed as the strongest of the six original sizes, the Havana… -
Cigar Review: Don Tomás Maduro Robusto
25 Jan 2012 | 2:00 amDon Tomás is one of many brands produced by General Cigar, which is either the largest or second largest cigar company in the world, depending on who you ask. Being a label in the General Cigar portfolio carries both advantages and disadvantages. As far as disadvantages go, Don Tomás is often overshadowed by the more visible General brands, including Macanudo, Cohiba, Punch, Partagas, and La Gloria. And I think it’s safe to say that many cigar veterans tend to snub their noses at mass-produced cigars like those made by General, no matter how good they may be. As for the advantages, Don… -
Commentary: Your Personal Best of 2011 List
24 Jan 2012 | 2:00 amAs is customary each January, seemingly everyone is making their list of the top cigars of the previous year. We haven’t published such a list in the last few years, but we did create a best-of list to send out to subscribers of our newsletter two years ago. Such lists are fun, as you compare your preferences with the list author’s. And sometimes you’ll realize there is a cigar you’ve wanted to try but haven’t, or maybe an old favorite that you’ve gotten away from for no particular reason. But creating a best-of list (or at least a good one) is problematic.

Casino Battle: Foxwoods Vs. Mohegan Sun

You might be thinking of Atlantic City. However, Atlantic City isn’t a pretty place and it’s a shell of its former self. The new casinos that opened in rural Pennsylvania are also cutting into Atlantic City profits. While most people don’t see it yet, Atlantic City is slowly turning into the cesspool of the East Coast, which will only harm New Jersey’s reputation more. If you want the best experiences for casinos… -

Hiriko | Folding Electric Car
27 Jan 2012 | 2:51 pmSo we’ve seen folding shovels, picnic tables, hammocks, and even shoes… but who would have thought we’d ever see an electric folding car? The Hiriko uses hub-mounted electric motors at each wheel and has a rear suspension design that allows the vehicle to fold up, rotating the cabin vertically. The benefit of course is that the Hiriko takes up less space while parking… approximately one third the parking space of a SmartForTwo, making it a perfect city car. But while hub-mounted motors and a folding suspension are completely unheard of, what really seems strange to… -

Wilton is so confident in their sledge hammer being unbreakable, they’ll pay you $1,000 in cash if the handle breaks during normal use within two… -
Corcel N°1 | Carbon Fiber Luxury Bathtub
27 Jan 2012 | 12:57 pmStraight out of the future comes the N°1, a “goddess in black” as Corcel calls it. It’s actually a bathtub, but not just any bathtub… an ultra-modern super-luxurious bathtub. The N°1 is made out of carbon fiber and its curvy lines are sports car inspired. It was chosen from 24 concept designs and took 7 months to fully develop. Only 51 N°1 will be created annually, but considering how many bathrooms this might actually look good in, that’s probably enough to go around. Each tub also comes with an individual authenticity certificate… you know, just in… -

Set the alarm with a timer of 5, 30, or 60 seconds, throw the grenade at your target and laugh as they’re blasted by a siren of 110-115 decibels, about the loudness of a sandblaster or power saw. Of course, for you felons and Bond wannabes, this could create an excellent distraction as you make your sly getaway out the… -

Splurge-worthy: How to make the final decision on a big purchase
26 Jan 2012 | 1:21 amIn all honesty, I’m not a big spender. I definitely don’t splurge very often, either (not on clothes, anyway). I always see things I want and like, but I’ve conditioned myself for so long to hold off hold off HOLDOFF… until I’m certain it’s something I absolutely want. See, when you splurge on an item, it’s more about desire than necessity. No one NEEDS Tom Ford suits when there’s a Men’s Wearhouse (bleh) down the street. You don’t NEED a pair of $1600 John Lobb lace-ups to cover your feet, or a $7k Panerai just to figure out the… -
They’re not all the same: Picking the RIGHT pair of brown dress shoes
19 Jan 2012 | 2:42 pmHey gents, I talk a lot about brown dress shoes… a lot. I’m a big fan of them over your typical black pair (because black is mostly uninteresting, unless you find the right pair). On top of that, guys default to black dress shoes. Guys need to stop settling for “default” choices and saying to themselves, “Meh, good enough.” It’s important to be a little daring, step out of your comfort zone, and do things the rest of your peers are not doing. So brown leather dress shoes are a step in the right direction. But, to those still stepping up their game,… -

But, I understand there are a bunch of guys still unsure about which socks to choose when figuring out what to wear for the day. Some questions you may have: Do I match them to my shoes or my pants? What about my shirt, can I match my socks to that? Should my socks match my underwear? Since my belt and shoes match, should I match my socks to those? Okay, I was exaggerating a little (hopefully none of you are going out of your way to match your underwear), but… -

How To Work With Your Spouse As A Business Partner
12 Jan 2012 | 1:02 pmNote: This guest post is written by Owen Marcus. What is the definition of hell? Working with your spouse when it’s not working. Tom came to me many years ago, stressed out, burned out, and thrown out. After what had seemed to be a great marriage and a growing business, Tom was looking at divorce and dissolving their business. His wife Ann had more or less thrown Tom out of the house, because according to her, he was a huge pain in the ass. Tom admitted he did get stressed out and overly insistent about how the business should be run. As Tom declared, “I’m a detail man and the details… -
Make More Money By Thinking Back To Childhood
14 Dec 2011 | 11:11 amYou started your own business to have more freedom. And before you know it, you’ve got so much to do that you can’t see straight. How do you get it all done, keep your moral sanity and make sure you’re growing and making money? The answer, it turns out, is to continually give more than you get. How does giving more make you more money? "Um, excuse me, I’m trying to get more of everything coming in, not going out!" Yes, I hear that but I'd like you to think about this for a moment. Most tend to generalize, thinking that you sell your products and services to the faceless mass ‘out… -
The Strange Solution to Ensure You Finish 2011 Like A “Man On Fire”
21 Nov 2011 | 2:29 pmJust like you, I used to suffer from getting near the end of the year like it is now, and wondering how the hell I was going to reach all the work and personal goals I’d set. The constant uphill battles and mentally throwing in the towel, were miserable. Every January I was so full of hope and energy…and then by late November it would start to sink in that my money goals, getting in shape and just plain ‘playing a bigger game’ had somehow slid away. And with it went my energy and motivation to finish the year stronger than I’d started. I kinda felt like, “What’s the use at this… -

You might as well go golfing or to the beach instead of wasting your time if you do nothing with the information. Coaches, consultants and solo entrepreneurs, you’ve really got to ask yourself, “Am I in the information collection business, or am I building my own company?” I spoke to a great group of…

Military Uniforms & Weddings
25 Jan 2012 | 10:23 amMilitary weddings are awesome. I wish I would have had one. When I married my wife in 2004, I had just separated from the Marines months earlier. And although technically I was in the reserves and could have worn my uniform, I opted not to because 1) I was getting married in the former Soviet Union 2) My uniform was in an unorganized storage unit 15,000 miles away 3) I thought finding a well-fitted suit in Ukraine would be easy. It wasn’t, and this in part lead to me founding A Tailored Suit. Well – looking back I wish I would have had someone ship my dress blues to me. I… -
Clothes and the Man – The Principles of Fine Men’s Dress – Video Book Review
23 Jan 2012 | 3:35 pmYou know how some books just get better with age? Even though the author may write better books, that first one just sits better with you as you know it was made when the author was hungry and he had less of a budget. You can tell he had to use creativity instead of money – and he results are unique and refreshing. That’s how I feel about Alan Flusser’s Clothes and the Man. Despite being three decades old it is still a standard-setter for anyone who wants to talk about menswear. Flusser built a career on “Clothes and the Man,” and with good reason. It’s… -
How To Buy A Quality Leather Briefcase
19 Jan 2012 | 2:23 pmHow does a man buy a leather briefcase? With so many options out there, how can you make a smart purchasing decision. I mean, this isn’t like buying a drink. A good leather briefcase or satchel is going to cost at least $300 and the better quality ones easily break the $500 barrier. If you’re in the market for a larger bag with special feature – you could be spending close to $1000. If you make a buying mistake here – it’s going to be an expensive one! With this in mind I reached out to William Scott Forshaw of Maxwell Scott Italian Leather Bags. We… -
Details Men’s Style Manual – Video Book Review
5 Jan 2012 | 8:43 pmIf a group of magazine editors worked on a fashion manual you’d expect it to read a lot like a collection of magazine articles. That’s basically what the “Details Men’s Style Manual” is. Daniel Peres (and the editors at Details Magazine) bring their combined fashion knowledge to bear in a simple, graphic-heavy format. This is style advice in its most digestible form. Overall – Details Men’s Style Manual is an excellent read and worth every penny. It is one of my favorite casual clothing texts for introducing people to the simple, basic concepts… -
Dress Like James Bond New Years Eve
29 Dec 2011 | 9:12 amNext year will be the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise. Marked by the launch of Dr. No, the franchise has grown into a 5 billion dollar box office success. And for those last fifty years – between saving the world and watching Honey Rider emerge from the water – James Bond has inspired men to dress sharp no matter the situation. Consistent throughout the series has been the Tuxedo – aka Black Tie. It has surfaced in more films than any other outfit and never grows old because it’s lines and silhouette are timeless. So why not use a Tuxedo to…

Male Sexuality and Fear
9 Jan 2012 | 3:48 amI am about to launch an online course for men called ‘How To Love A Woman’. I deal with many issues in it, but one of the most important is the issue of Male Sexuality. Men can feel caught between the need to be men and the perception of abuse. It stems from the man’s lack of certainty about himself and his ability to deal with male sexuality and polarity. Male sexuality is a potent force that needs to be understood and integrated as part of a man’s personality rather than simply controlled. Here is a short video clip taken from the course: Many men have difficulties in their… -
Is Telling Your Story Taking Responsibility
6 Jan 2012 | 7:37 amI have been reading about Hugo Schwyzer revealing his past on the internet. I won’t detail it here, go and read it for yourself. It’s ugly and it’s typical, in many ways, of how many men dominate women. His post talks about how he has changed and how he is in recovery. Of the past he says, “For many years, I’ve said that my behavior on and before June 27, 1998 was unconscionable. I was an active alcoholic and addict who caused great pain to a great many people. I was fortunate indeed never to be arrested. [...] I did have consensual sexual relationships with female… -
The Importance Of Intimacy Between Fathers And Sons
20 Dec 2011 | 4:39 am“I’d argue that perhaps the only thing that garners more suspicion than a father being affectionate with his daughter, is a father being affectionate with his son!” I read this recently from a commenter on ‘The Good Men Project’ and was amazed. I wondered if I lived on the same planet as this man or whether I have ignored what people think all these years. I am a man and I have two sons who are now in their thirties. They are perfectly normal, well-adjusted men and we hug and kiss in public. This is not some overt display of family emotion: it’s just something we do. Am I… -
Step Up BUT Don’t Step Back
12 Dec 2011 | 4:16 amDon't Look Back Yesterday I was talking to Urmila and a female friend about men. We were talking about their experience, as women, of men. One of the biggest issues they identified was the inability of many men—and I mean many men—to stay true to themselves and their strength. They step up… and then… they step back. Much of what I write about in Male eXperience is encouraging and helping men to step up. To step up and be a man is what so many men want. They feel weak or inadequate, or they feel fear of over-stepping the mark. They are seeking how to find, and live…

Reality and Spirit
18 Dec 2011 | 2:07 amI like writing, and all of my writing is from the bottom of my heart. I write because I want to keep track record of my life and my thought. Therefore, my writing has intimate relationship with my life, my thought and every friend who runs into my life. Almost all the friends who come to my life and my inner world appear on my writing. However, my writing seldom gets attention from my friends. Few friends will know about them. Maybe that’s why I can write everything I want to write. Before I refused to reveal any of my writing to my familiar persons who are around me, because there… -
Movie Time: Breaking Dawn
4 Dec 2011 | 2:15 amI think a lot of you have seen the movie already or maybe are going to see it soon, so I won't be telling the plot of the story. Just my opinion of the movie. Of course I liked the movie! The Twilight movies always have a good story (and fantasy) and I'm a big fan of them. This movie even convinced me to read all the books. A friend of mine has all the books and I am going to borrow them. I've already read Eclips and saw the movie. I can honestly say that a book tells you so much more than a movie can. You see that in Breaking Dawn too. They skip a lot in the movies, that is actually a part… -
Cyber Relationship

They think that it’s impossible for them to have feeling for each other since they haven’t met each other or got together with each other. However, when the other day I discussed this topic with my friend, we both think that the internet relationship can be real, sincere and forever. It has nothing different from other relationships in the reality. Of course, the basic of this relationship is that we don’t have any evil purpose to each other or anything deceive. Because of the dream of being postgraduate, I met…

Surprise! Eating Only McDonalds Chicken Nuggets for 15 Years Will Land You in the Hospital
27 Jan 2012 | 12:56 pmEvery-once-and-awhile a story like this hits and I’m reminded how totally bizarre and completely off their rocker some humans are. Human beings were not meant to eat a diet consisting solely of McDonalds chicken nuggets. I think most humans know that. One 17-year-old British girl, however, is fining out the hard way. Stacey Irvine, has eaten little else besides processed chicken product that’s been battered and fried for her entire life. Big surprise here, she recently collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. Turns out she has anemia – lack of veggies anyone?

Balancing Act
24 Jan 2012 | 1:52 pmSuccess in business begins with happiness at home It was 2003 and I was three years into building my business. I left a good public sector job as a recreation director, with benefits and pension plans attached, to pursue building my own recreation company. When I made the transition, I believed I understood the depth of dedication and perseverance necessary to succeed. After all, I was very successful in the public sector, and I couldn’t imagine building a business would be much more difficult than the work I had been doing for years. -

Joy is Manly
20 Jan 2012 | 5:22 pmI was recently traveling out of state to support a friend of mine as his groomsman at his wedding. The groom, the other groomsmen, the photographer and I all lived together in a house for three days or so while the bachelor’s party, rehearsal and other festivities were continuing. Alec, the photographer, a friend of mine from college, was actually shooting two weddings that weekend. One evening, one of the other groomsmen made a comment about him that struck me as incredibly insightful. He said that, for being one of the busiest guys he knew, this photographer was also the most peaceful… -
Discovering the Mind of a Woman: a Book Review
15 Dec 2011 | 10:07 pmSeveral years ago I stole a book from my parents called Discovering the Mind of a Woman by Ken Nair. I think I was dating someone at the time and realizing that what I knew about women could fill a 140 character tweet. I never actually read the book until recently. Being a husband and aware of my need of good advice, I’ve been rereading this cornily-named book and I think you should too–even if you’re not married or dating yet. Don’t be distracted by the early-90′s cover, the title, or his ministry website–all of which are outdated and cheesy–the advice in… -
Man-Jewels Collection #1: Bearmageddon & Man Up
10 Oct 2011 | 9:43 pmA buddy of mine, Jeremy Grant, from over at the Art In Love blog he writes with his wife, recently turned me on to some cool new projects that are aimed at men. I’m paying the favor forward to you guys. First up, we have Bearmageddon, a graphic novel in-progress. At the time of this writing, the story of Bearmageddon is still in it’s first act but so far, the story seems pretty rad. We have the threat of mad scientist-created bear monsters (just check the image above), we have young guys with father issues, and the makings of a classic, if unusual, story about coming of age as a… -
You – Childish Ways = Man
17 Sep 2011 | 11:23 pmThe other day I woke up at 5am with the words of St. Paul ringing in my ears, “When I was a child I thought like a child.” These words might as well have been audibly spoken in my ear for how real they seemed. I’m not sure if the phrase was only the vestige of an early morning dream or words spoken by the Father to wake me up or both. To finish Paul’s thought, he says in 1 Corinthians 13, “When I was a child I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.” What he’s actually talking about is love and growing up… -
Identity: Where a man finds it
7 Sep 2011 | 3:03 pmA few months ago I was at a worship event in the mountains for a weekend when someone made a comment, almost in passing, that changed everything about the way I think about being a man. The speaker was Ben Pasley, a spiritual leader (and huge influencer in my life) whose work you should get acquainted with. Pasley was talking about sonship. “Son” is the status of all those who are in Jesus, man or woman. If you know Jesus, you’re God’s son. There’s a ton to say about sonship, and a lot has been said in Ben Pasley’s book, Orphan Slave Son. So Pasley is talking about sonship when he…

Truth: Oh The Drama
27 Jan 2012 | 7:49 pmIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times. A friend asked if the drama ever stops with people. I say no that it does not. The rule of thumb is, you are who who you are from the age of 14 on up. That is your character or personality. So who you were in the 8th grade is who you are now; well from a drama standpoint at least.What do you think? Yeah maybe that's the case on many things. I'm still competitive, but not as much. I still like to play sports, but not as much. Then again I still can't blow a freaking bubble. So it must be true. People choose… -

Bruins goalie and Michigan native Tim Thomas was the only Bruin who did not attend. Tim Thomas released a statement later in the day: "I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People. This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the... [[… -
Liberty: Legislative Lunacy
25 Jan 2012 | 7:49 pmIt was the best of times it was the worst of times. So the gang of thugs, aka as the state legislature of Michigan wants to to increase registration fees for vehicles. They also want to impose a 9 cent per gallon gasoline increase. Why? To fix the roads and the bridges. Michigan which is on the cusp of financial ruin, has to get more from the already taxed to death citizens. Taxes and state intrusion already has crippled the economy. Now, in order to save the structure people will be FORCED to pay more. There is no choice of course. So when does it end? When... [[… -
Liberty: The Real State of The Union

In fact the constant applauding he gets during the state of the union address is nothing more than people who want to be seen and heard; and not left out.Your country (USA) is a mess. Yes yes yes you'll always get the people say "well its still the best country in the world". Is it?

However I have a list of things I've never done, that I just am not going to do because I revel in the fact I've never done it. It has become a badge of honor to not have done these things. I have never... seen Grease smoked a cigarette smoked a cigar seen a full episode of The Simpsons watched the Family Guy never seen Modern Family watched a complete episode of American Idol watched a...

Four patients die each day from hunger in hospital
23 Jan 2012 | 8:28 pmEarlier this month, the Prime Minister said staff should regularly ensure patients were comfortable Four patients a day are dying hungry and thirsty in hospital, according to new figures. Dehydration or malnutrition was linked to 25 deaths every week last year, either directly or as a contributing factor. According to data from the Office for National Statistics,155 patients died from dehydration while 48 died of malnutrition in 2010. Another 812 patients were suffering from dehydration when they died and 301 with malnutrition, however neither was their direct cause of death While some… -
Gene switch 'key to heart health'
23 Jan 2012 | 8:04 pmThe way genes switch on and off could influence the health of our hearts Scientists may be closer to understanding how genes can influence serious heart conditions, says a Nature Genetics report. The failure to turn off a specific gene at the right time in an embryo’s development could mean illness later in life. Mice in which the gene was left active were born apparently healthy, but suffered heart muscle problems later. A heart charity said it might one day be possible to fix the genetic switch. The science of “epigenetics”, which places importance not just on the genes… -
Embryonic stem cells improve sight of legally blind women
23 Jan 2012 | 7:39 pmTwo women who had gone legally blind from untreatable eye diseases had dramatic improvements in their vision after injections of human embryonic stem cells, making it the first documented time these controversial cells have helped someone. “I’m thrilled and so excited,” said their ophthalmologist, Dr. Steven Schwartz, at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute. “We’re not saying we found a cure for blindness, but this is a big step forward for regenerative medicine.” Schwartz and his colleagues published their study in The Lancet. For each patient, stem… -
'Underworld' awakens the box office with $25.4 million
23 Jan 2012 | 7:27 pm2012 continued its box office winning streak this weekend, as Kate Beckinsale replaced herself at the top of the chart. Her new movie, “Underworld Awakening,” a 3D fourth installment of the popular vampires vs. werewolves franchise, debuted in first place with $25.4 million, good for a $8,252 per theater average. “Awakening” improved upon the opening weekend of its predecessor, 2009′s “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans,” which started with $20.8 million (and did not feature Beckinsale), but fell short of 2006′s “Underworld: Evolution,” which… -
Do women feel more pain than men?
23 Jan 2012 | 7:09 pmThe ache, the hurt, the burn, the stab. We use all kinds of words to describe pain, but the truth is that there’s no way to know if what you experience as pain differs from anyone else’s – it’s a matter of individual perception. Scientists are honing in on a disparity between men and women that may exist in that perception. In the largest study of its kind, Stanford researchers analyzed electronic medical records for ratings of pain, and found that women tend to report greater amounts of pain in a variety of diagnoses. They report their results in Monday in the Journal of Pain. The…

25 Jan 2012 | 1:00 pmFor some, facial hair is what separates the men from the boys. Some can’t stand any kind of facial hair at all. Others can’t grow. Facial hair can go either way in our opinion.

Ways to Impress on a First Date
23 Jan 2012 | 1:00 pmWhen you head off on a first date with a new girl, you want to make a great first impression. A great first impression won’t just land you another date. It will have her cancelling dates she might have already made to spend more time with you.Gentlemanly MannersYou don’t want to be too stiff or formal on a first date. First dates are generally laidback, relaxed affairs for all involved. Still, you want to bring your “A” game. That means opening doors, pulling out her chair, communicating her order to the server and — as if it needed to be said — picking up the check. This,… -

Things No Man Should Wear After College

Hiriko | Folding Electric Car
27 Jan 2012 | 2:51 pmSo we’ve seen folding shovels, picnic tables, hammocks, and even shoes… but who would have thought we’d ever see an electric folding car? The Hiriko uses hub-mounted electric motors at each wheel and has a rear suspension design that allows the vehicle to fold up, rotating the cabin vertically. The benefit of course is that the Hiriko takes up less space while parking… approximately one third the parking space of a SmartForTwo, making it a perfect city car. But while hub-mounted motors and a folding suspension are completely unheard of, what really seems strange to… -
Bash | Unbreakable Sledge Hammer
27 Jan 2012 | 2:28 pmBash, an appropriate name for what the company claims is the most durable sledge hammer in the world, outperforming both wood and fiberglass handled hammers. The Bash hammer has a steel core design, high-visibility green flat head that stands upright, textured handle for a secure grip, lanyard hole for securing the hammer around your wrist, safety plate that prevents the head from dislodging, and an anti-vibe, ergonomically designed neck. Wilton is so confident in their sledge hammer being unbreakable, they’ll pay you $1,000 in cash if the handle breaks during normal use within two… -
Corcel N°1 | Carbon Fiber Luxury Bathtub
27 Jan 2012 | 12:57 pmStraight out of the future comes the N°1, a “goddess in black” as Corcel calls it. It’s actually a bathtub, but not just any bathtub… an ultra-modern super-luxurious bathtub. The N°1 is made out of carbon fiber and its curvy lines are sports car inspired. It was chosen from 24 concept designs and took 7 months to fully develop. Only 51 N°1 will be created annually, but considering how many bathrooms this might actually look good in, that’s probably enough to go around. Each tub also comes with an individual authenticity certificate… you know, just in… -
Micro Sonic Grenade
25 Jan 2012 | 11:10 pmIt’s a good thing I don’t work in an office with a bunch of co-workers. I’d be that idiot who’s always pulling pranks on people. If you are that guy and the Laser Airzooka just wasn’t annoying enough, along comes the Micro Sonic Grenade. Set the alarm with a timer of 5, 30, or 60 seconds, throw the grenade at your target and laugh as they’re blasted by a siren of 110-115 decibels, about the loudness of a sandblaster or power saw. Of course, for you felons and Bond wannabes, this could create an excellent distraction as you make your sly getaway out the… -

It also has a perforated surface, allowing for better airflow and preventing palms from becoming sweaty. The mouse is likely to target pro gamers when it’s released sometime in the spring, but details such as DPI rating and macro functionality are still unknown. No word yet on pricing either, but if we had to guess,…

Dual Snowboards
26 Jan 2012 | 3:44 amFor years now we have been snowboarding with both feet attached to the board. And to be honest at no point have we had a problem with this (well, the odd skier!). Prepare yourself for some ‘outside of the box’ thinking from the guys at Dual Snowboards. They have created a unique and new snowboarding experience by creating independent boards for each foot. You attach yourself to each board with the usual bindings and snowboard boots but have complete freedom to move both legs as skiers do (but ultimately still look cooler ;-). On first inspection it looks completely bizarre. -
Netflix – UK
25 Jan 2012 | 2:47 pmSo, a lot of people in the UK are not really aware of Netflix, which I personally find astounding. This isn’t a new and exciting service here, this is one of the biggest revelations within US broadcast media in decades finally being rolled out across the pond to the benefit of the ignorant UK populace. Just to give you an idea what Netflix is like, here are some statistics: Over 20 million world wide subscribers Over 2 billion hours of TV was watched in the last 3 months of 2011 Uses around 32% US broadband of bandwidth during peak hours Available in over 50 countries Can be streamed on… -
