How Hard Is It to Become a Bartender?
Believe it or not, there's a lot of work to do in order to actually become a certified bartender. Yes, this means attending bartending school to become an amazing bartender who studied in mixology and the art of liquor and spirits. But getting your bartending certification doesn't entirely take a year to get — it's only a couple of weeks of learning and training. And once you've received that certification, it's time for you to go out there into the real world.

The Standing Rock Series: The Calm Before the Storm
This was during my second trip to Standing Rock; camp had grown significantly in a short time after I left from a few hundred to a couple thousand people. It was in that time we had many successive peaceful actions that were truly beautiful to be a part of. I would call this the calm before the storm, for soon they brought heavier violence upon us.

A Century of Corruption
Last night at the Golden Globes, actors and actresses wore black to display their support of the Time’s Up movement, a campaign founded in response to the Harvey Weinstein allegations and subsequent Weinstein effect. The response in Hollywood since the watershed moment of the first allegations against Harvey Weinstein in October 2017 has been significant, but not surprising. Since Weinstein, there have been following allegations of abuse against a number of prominent names, including Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K., Charlie Rose, James Toback, Matt Lauer, Brett Ratner – the list is sadly exhaustive, and will most likely be continuously added to. But as appalling as these revelations are, they are far from shocking. Hollywood has been an abusive industry for its entire existence, forming over a century’s worth of heartbreaking stories of ‘casting couch’ abuse, manipulation and mistreatment, from the days of the silent era, through Hollywood’s golden age to the present day.

Mind-Blowing Things That Are Now Sold Wine-Infused
Modern infatuation with food culture has ushered in a new age of experimentation with flavor pairings, food infusions, and culinary chimeras of every stripe. Because people's fondness for edibles is rivaled only by our wine love, it was only a matter of time before the wine-infused food and cooking item market exploded, as it did with sriracha, and bacon before that. Here are nine entries in an ever-expanding field of ubiquitous wine-laced goods that oenophiles can purchase in less time than it takes to pour a glass of Syrah.

9 of Phineas and Ferb's Most Eye-Sweating Moments
Before I appreciated Phineas and Ferb, I had a huge burning indifference for the show. Ironically, now I'm a huge fan. The Last Day of Summer was the final episode to tie up the whole series, and I know most of us sobbed while watching that. However there was one more special episode - and we can say that it's truly finished after watching the O.W.C.A. Files, and that's that. I bet some of us sweat through our eyes after that special.

10 Serial Killers You've Never Heard Of
Everyone has heard of Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos, and Jeffrey Dahmer, but they are not the only serial killers in the world or even in the United States. There are hundreds of serial killers you've never even heard of and the reason why is mostly that they are not shocking enough or prolific enough. Many happened before the media became so connected and ingrained in our daily lives. And many others that operate even today cross jurisdictions, state lines, and even country boundaries to commit and conceal their crimes. Allow me to introduce you to just ten serial killers that the general population know little to nothing about. I included photos of those who had them. Unfortunately, not everyone liked their photos taken.

I Tried the "One Punch Man" Workout for a Week
100 Push Ups. 100 Sit Ups. 100 Squats. 10 Kilometer Run. EVERY. DAY. These are the workout guidelines for Saitama (AKA One Punch Man) the bald protagonist of One Punch Man, who wields godlike powers that allow him to destroy virtually any enemy, in especially violent fashion, with a single punch. Created by the mysterious manga author ONE, One Punch Man is a satirical take on the cliches of popular superhero manga like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto. Despite the original intent of parody, One Punch Man has found a surge of popularity that has launched it to the same Triple-A status as the titles it satirizes, complete with its own anime series streaming on Netflix. For those familiar with the lore, Saitama is an average looking, bald man who might just be the most powerful being in the universe, thanks to his trusty regimen of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run every day for 3 years WITHOUT REST. Allegedly, this workout routine can give you the power to fight androids, cyborg animals, monsters, space aliens, kaiju, and other colossal titans with just ONE PUNCH. I decided to try it for a week and see if this routine could help me give Goku a run for his money (That's a Dragon Ball Z reference for those of you who aren't nerdy), and this is what happened.

Hottest Gay Male Porn Stars
There is something remarkably hot (and beautiful) about watching two men go at it on camera—even if you're not a gay man. Maybe it's the fact that it's two gorgeous guys who are into each other, or maybe it's just all the masculinity they show, but whatever the reason be, gay porn gets a lot of people hot under the collar.

Journey to Israel's Civil Defence Front Line
Travellers seldom select new towns. What attraction is to be found in the shadow of concrete boxes? It pays to make an exception, however, for it is here that people live with their stories, vitality, and living history. On a recent trip, I decided to visit Sderot, a 1950s new town that sits on the border of the Gaza strip, a town made notorious by incessant rocket attacks. It was hardly an onerous journey; a mere hour by train from Tel Aviv.

14 Reasons a P.O.S. Car Is the Best Car
I've owned several cars in my lifetime. And right now I have a really nice 4Runner, but I've got to tell you...my favorite car was a branded title 15-year-old car with 165,000+ miles on it that I bought for $2000. When I finally got rid of it, my cousin got it, and it used to just shut off while he drove on the freeway. This caused him to have to pop it into neutral, and restart the engine. Safe. But let me tell you, he also loved that car.
