America, Liberia, Myanmar: The Anti-Metric System Holdouts: "...the metric system, the international system of measurement now officially adopted by all but three nations in the world: Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), Liberia -- and the United States."
RossTraining.com Blog: "Earlier this week, I awoke to a message on Facebook from someone involved in a heated debate about training strategies for fighters. Apparently, an argument broke out on his page and he wanted my thoughts on the subject. He asked for me to comment on the thread. Unfortunately for him, I declined the request as I’m not interested in arguing online about anything. I didn’t even waste time to open the link. Whatever was being argued has no bearing in my life or the real world. There is no prize or glory involved in winning online debates. Is it even possible to declare a winner?
...The next time you consider arguing online, ask yourself what it offers in return. Understanding that time is finite, is it worth wasting it over an online dispute? Isn’t there a more productive way to use your time to help reach your goals?"
Karen De Coster » Milk Machine Aims to Hook Kids on Chemical Sweeteners: "As a solution to sagging milk sales, the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) are petitioning the FDA to “amend the standard identity of milk” and other dairy products. That is, the proposed solution to sluggish industry sales is to hook more children on dairy products by adding chemical sweeteners. Dairy special interests want to be able to add high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, and other chemicals to milk while bypassing the requirement that the products be labeled “artificially sweetened.” The attempt is to pass this off as a health benefit for children because the chemical sweeteners are not considered to be sugar."
Captain Power's Underground Training Site: Everything DOESNT happen for a reason retard...: "I personally can't stand it when someone says "things always happen for a reason". As soon as someone says that I automatically start to hate them.
...I am going to give you the "REAL" reason why things happen.
Your grandmother died: She was old
You got laid off: Either you were annoying, bad performance, or company wide layoffs
You got dumped (Women) : You put on weight. You didn't have enough sex. You are too needy
You got dumped (Man) : You are lazy, and/or boring."
Do you know what I think? I think NOTHING happens for a reason.
You wake up and your car has a flat tire? FUCK IT
You have a bad head cold? FUCK IT
It's going to snow over the weekend? FUCK IT
Worry about the stuff that you CAN control, and stop avoiding your problems with stupid statements like "things happen for a reason""

Captain Power's Underground Training Site: ANCESTRY.COM is for losers!!!: "I'm not going to lie, at one point I started looking up my ancestors to see when they came into Ellis Island, and what they did for living. But do you know what I discovered?? 95% of the population where either farmers, or fisherman.... Do you know what else I discovered?? Mostly everyone married a girl that grew up on their street, or at least lived within walking distance to their parents house. My advice: Forget about some skeleton buried in the ground that you used to call grandpa, and focus on yourself!!"
ChAoS & PAIN: The Inaugural Empedoclean Day: "I'm not in the business of getting the most of the least- I'm in the business of getting the most. I don't mind spitting in the face of the laws of diminishing returns if it means I can get or do something awesome, because I'd much rather be fucking awesome than simply better than most.
...This is why I have to look back, for the most part, and not at the present for inspiration, and why I invoke the deeds of so many old-timey lifters. They gave two shits about efficiency. They climbed tall mountains because fuck mountains. They'd whack back a shitload of opium and racewalk from Paris to India just because. They lifted heavy weights because it was fucking fun, and they'd do crazy shit because it amused them, like lifting a grown man overhead with one hand and running up and down a flight of stairs a few times while holding a beer in the other. They needed no more of a goal for doing impressive physical feats other than the fact that they thought it was cool, and because other people said they couldn't or shouldn't. That shit is fun, and it's why I'd be much more at home with a pack of 14th Century Mongols than the assholes populating any Ikea on the planet."
Lack of sleep 'switches off' genes - Telegraph: "Getting fewer than six hours' sleep per night deactivates genes which play a key role in the body's constant process of self-repair and replenishment, according to a new study. Our bodies depend on genes to produce a constant supply of proteins which are used to replace or repair damaged tissue, but after a week of sleep deprivation some of these stopped working. The findings suggest that chronic lack of sleep could prevent the body from fully replenishing itself and raise the risk of a host of diseases, researchers said."
