Meet other local people in their 30's, 40's & 50's who are interested in Walking for fitness! Not much of a jogger? Me neither. I prefer the relaxation and conversation you gain from walking with a group of friends. Walking in a location with a view, away from the street noise, is a big plus. One of my favorites is Angel Island. Prefer those who are in relatively good shape (capable of walking at a good pace for at least an hour and able to talk at the same time). If you're not sure, chances are …

This is a  women's self defense course focusing on self defense techniques modified for street and home defense from attackers. Why take this course? Because you may be faced with a decision to use self defense at any given time. If you car breaks down on the side of the road & a stranger approaches you with evil intent. Or you may come home finding a burglar in your residence; hiking or jogging in a secluded trail and someone tries to cause you harm. Is this being paranoid? Paranoia is defined …

Waste vegetable oil costs cities millions per year of repairs to sewer lines and treatment plants. It should be used as a fuel and many existing cars, trucks and vans can use it. It is very cheap and it does not produce the carcinogens nor foul smells of other transportation fuels. It is safer than gasoline and diesel. If from the right sources, it can be totally carbon neutral. It is cheaper than gas or diesel.

This group is an experiment to create a free exchange of modeling and drawing for artists, like myself, who love drawing from life. Group members take turns doing some of the modeling (lightly-clothed or nude) and will have plenty of time to draw. I have drawn from life on and off for the last 15 years or so and also have experience modeling for life drawing classes in the University setting. I think the experience of being on both sides of the coin is valuable and interesting. Details: - All m …

What is a philosovert you ask ? It's a person who on one hand lives on the more introverted side but on the other still loves to discuss all kinds of topics with other folks. I have found that introverts more often than not have strong opinions about stuff but don't necessarily share them because they feel overwhelmed by "extrovies". I personally have a hard time discussing boring things like sports or cars since I simply cannot contribute anything. Yes, I'm that guy who brings up that one topic …

For years I was a solo backpacker who frequently ventured solo into less frequented areas. Recently I experienced a scare while doing so which made me realize how vulnerable a solo hiker off trail is. I concluded that for safety and companionship where any portion of the route is off established trails, I would prefer to hike with other independent-style backpackers. Those meetups of our group where I am part of the group will provide the partners I seek. My idea of a small group is myself, my d …

as in: "Break-in or breaking in, also known as run-in or running in, is the procedure of conditioning a new piece of equipment by giving it an initial period of running, usually under light load, but sometimes under heavy load or normal load. It is generally a process of moving parts wearing against each other to produce the last small bit of size and shape adjustment that will settle them into a stable relationship for the rest of their working life."

We just want to hang out and meet other semi-functional, reasonably-stable underachievers like us.  Don't you feel the same way?  Yes?  Awesome, join us!

We are a group that quarterly plans 1-2 week overland trips crossing some of Americas most scenic beautiful rural open space areas. These areas are only accessible by heavily modified 4x4 vehicles.

Let me introduce myself, I am Aditya Mittal, and I am the author of 'Let Your Mind See'. I have studied at Stanford, worked at NASA and as Business Intelligence Data team lead at a mobi …

We will get together to show off our hard work, get inspiration from each other and just have fun hanging out. BBQ's and picnics are great for this. We are famil …
