Axe-Throwing is sweeping the nation turning from a bar game to a full-blown sport in America. Here are the five places in Washington you can go hone your own Axe-Throwing skills.

With high school back in session, the home opener at the legendary Zaepfel Stadium saw the resilient Eisenhower Cadets take on the double-tough Selah Vikings. It was a great game to kick off the Friday Night Lights football season in the Yakima valley. I was on hand to check out the action. Looking to more from both teams in the coming weeks.

The world of movie-TV reboots accommodates a great many approaches these days, not the least curious of which will see Liam Neeson’s Taken character Bryan Mills returned to his formative years, yet still in the modern day.

History’s Vikings famously ditches the classic helmet imagery, but did you know the concept of filthy, horned raiders was historically inaccurate anyway? Or that the Travis Fimmel series pays homage to classic Norse myth in its titles? Sharpen your axes and fill your flagons, and let the 24th episode of ‘You Think You Know TV?’ take you along with Ragnar Lothbrok for a raiding party on History’s Vikings!

The ease with which we access TV becomes more ubiquitous every year, but some shows will always top out demand for piracy.

From a man’s point of view they are tough and do not take anybody's crap and from a woman's point of view, they are not ugly.
