The Bible, as most of you are aware, is the Word of God, and sharper that any two-edged sword. The Bull Pup is the common name for the Tavor X95 Rifle issued to soldiers in Tzahal, the Israeli Defense Forces. Yesterday both were committed together to the protection of Israel.

There’s a sportsman’s brand that got started a few miles away from where I live. It is called SALT LIFE. In 2003, four friends got together with an idea for a logo on a decal that would represent a passion for the ocean, the salt air, and most importantly, a way of life. They invested … Read more

Thanks to a compelling story, some great effects and incredible acting, the story of Apollo 13’s incredible survival in space is an iconic one. (A $52 million production budget and … Read more
THAT’S NOT ENOUGH Tapping out is a signal between two martial artists that a sufficient threshold of pain has been reached to demonstrate a technique is being properly executed.
