In addition, through Richard Kuklinski's relationship with the mob, we get to know many gangsters and their lives. Hof can surely take credit for spreading the method, but the principles of breathing, meditation and exposure to the cold have been known for a long time.

I am not sure if the people there are experts or not, but a lot of them seem to think the same as me... Freaking BS told by Kuklinski written by Philip Carlo. Carlo took Kuklinski's stories as fact, printed them that way without doing any type of fact finding. There is no way he did all he said he did. If you want to read a crime story about a fictional character, you have it here... If you want to read about a real mob hit man, look somewhere else. Even if you take is as fiction, it still was not written very well.I got chills, they're multiplying....Nope, nothing to do with Danny Zuko but Richard Kuklinski (aka The Iceman) greased a hell of a lot of people, and this is a riveting, chilling account of his life and crimes. After reading the book I listened to the actual interviews. It seems like he was baited in to giving a better story by the interviewer. They wanted better stories for the book or a movie... It seems like it became more elaborate as he went on because he liked the attention. I think the writer embellished a lot of the stories too. He definitely killed some people, but does not seem to be as extensive as the book portrays. Initially he was very vague and became more detailed as the interviews progressed. He also seems to forget a lot of details early that he "remembered" later. I would like to see the stories they were able to verify versus the ones they proved false. The ones they could not verify I would have a hard time believing because he seems to be a liar looking for attention. This book is a bunch of BS written by a guy who did no fact finding. It is about a guy who wanted to seem bigger than he really was. He was a porn dealer, ran a small time home invasion crew and killed some associates. Most of the book is lies told by one man with a creative imagination. I read the book before seeing any of the HBO specials. The entire time, I was thinking... There is no freaking way.

Located at the northeast end of the state of New Jersey, Jersey City was ideally located near the bustling metropolis of Manhattan, and from here all types of goods and produce were shipped up and down the eastern seaboard. At its closest point just across the southernmost end of the Hudson River, Jersey City was only three-quarters of a mile away from lower Manhattan—the center of the world—and ferries were constantly bringing goods to the piers that crowded the busy Manhattan waterfront. On a clear day, it seemed, you could easily throw a stone to Manhattan from Jersey City, it appeared so close—the proverbial stone's throw away. Based on his DNA signature, Ötzi was part of the migration of Neolithic farmers that came through Anatolia (modern Turkey) 8,000 to 6,000 years ago, replacing Europe’s Paleolithic hunters and gatherers. His maternal genetic heritage no longer exists in modern populations, but his paternal line lives on in groups found on Mediterranean islands, especially Sardinia. What he wore

Od začátku xkrát zopakuje, jak moc Kuklinsky chtěl zabít vlastního otce. A pokaždé dodá, že lituje, že to neudělal... To teda mohl říct jenom jednou, že otce toužil zabít, ale nikdy to neudělal... Today, Ötzi is carefully tended to by researchers at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy, where his wizened body is kept in a custom cold chamber maintained at a constant temperature of –21.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Four or five times a year, his remains are sprayed with sterile water to create an icy, protective exoskeleton that ensures he stays a “ wet mummy” (one naturally preserved in a wet rather than dry environment). On the whole though, there are few lessons here and it's rather disappointing. Two slim chapters at the end of the book describe Wim and Justin's suggestions for how to proceed in developing cold resistance. Justin's is sensible and straight-forward: basically expose yourself to the cold gradually - don't overdo it and damage yourself. Wim's suggestions are similar and include a breathing and visualisation exercise. When, at eighteen, Anna was forced to leave the orphanage, she went into a Catholic convent, planning to become a nun herself. She had no skills as such and nowhere else to turn. But Anna was not cut out for the pastoral life. She soon met Stanley Kuklinski at a dance sponsored by the church, and her destiny was sealed.
