Re: Whats your program for ranger fitness?

I think we are going to buy a wii soon so i will be getting some workouts from that. :lol: The hardest thing for me is that for most the time with my job I drive around in a van, I don't know where I will be or what time I will eat so I end up eating a lot of fast food while driving from call to ca...

Re: Chinese Swordsmanship

well, here is the test of this community. this weekend i spent literally hours reading YouTube responses arguing whether Asian or European martial arts were/are superior. those comments are a train wreck i cant help but ogle at. my philosophy says to learn everything about what interests you, no mat...

Re: Dunedain Star Brooch...

(my final post of derailment) mcapanelli, i should have given a better description on my reason to post that vid. although i have many Buddhistic tendencies, i agree more with the Daoist philosophy. anyway, the reason Ghostdog, and that scene in particular, is one of my favorite movies (as corny as ...

Re: Dunedain Star Brooch...

Doghsin, I think you may be reading into this a little deeper than exists. We're just a group of like minded Tolkien geeks that want to discuss what we each interpret as Tolkien's vision. We have no structure inside or outside the forum (beyond Andy being the chieftain) and if we did, I think I'd b...

Agincourt sword damascus?

there seem to be people here quite knowledgeable on the topic of swords, so i want to ask... apx. 15ish years ago at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, there was a small booth selling (what i assume) were fine blades. i fell in love with what looked to me like an Agincourt sword with a damascus blad...

Re: Dunedain Star Brooch...

... Their Aragorn has the Ranger star on the sleeve of his duster. Note the design. What do you guys think of that? [/size] is it just basically a ten point? looks to me like a pentagram over an inverted pentagram, minus the circle. that photo is very hard for me to see. the only problem i have wit...

Re: STATE KNIFE LAWS

unless you are in violation of another law most officers will not go to the trouble of arresting you over a knife( too much paper work and hassel) most of the time. the court systems are too piled up with real crime (yay case overloads) twice ive had small knifes (dual bladed) confiscated by 'the m...

Re: Dunedain Star Brooch...

...though I've never been that into weaving of that style. What do you think of doing it as one continuous piece, like most star jewelry? ~G [/size] technically it is a continuous piece, just on my crappy 'drawing' i used breaks in the line to signify an over/under design. i notice a very strong Eu...

Re: Dunedain Star Brooch...

another design i was thinking of is an eight point star made of; broad heads for the four cardinal directions and bodkins for the intermediate directions (se,sw,ne,nw). think it would take a good artist to design that though quite possibly the roughest sketch in the history of the world (my minds e...

Re: rethinking the rangers weapons

you guys sure seem to know your stuff. guess i was thinking more along the lines of a very lightly applied and highly buffed beeswax furniture polish, where it gives a very slick and glossy surface. but since ive never done it, it was just a theory. still, i might experiment with different recipes/ ...
