Are military pages restricted for viewing only from the US? I couldn't access this page from here, I had to go to Google´s cache to read it.
I liked the article BTW, and sounds like the guy really knows what he's doing, he should really be a part of the community if he's not already...

I think I remember him from last September's NYC Barefoot RFun. I'll see if I can get a look at the sign-up lists and get contact info.
JL or Sid, please create a thread in the Site Help forum for Matt, so he can correct this. Are you not seeing it in the main forum list? It's called Military Barefoot & Minimalist Running. I do not have a problem accessing the Military forum, which is open to everyone. I was able to access it just fine using my generic, user account, a.k.a., my hubby's. 
Yes, exactly, the page at http://yuma.usmc.mil/ is the one not being accessible. If Sid can't either then it's not a country limitation, gotta be something else. It isn't the simultaneous access either, since I tried several times since yesterday and still not able to see it besides going through the Google cache.
I get it too. I can click directly on the link and see the article, if that helps. Perhaps there is a block from their firewall or security software due to some trigger.
My guess is that since it's a military domain, its content may be unavailable for other countries.
What confuses me is Sid also said he couldn't see it and he's in Florida, so maybe the block is for anywhere south of El Paso?

JL, try using one of those proxy services online. They're free, and they will mask your route. I'm curious to see if you can reach it, although I don't think this is restricted to outside the US.
I can view the article in Germany, so it's not restricted everywhere outside the US.
Very cool article.
Very cool article.
Strange, although I'm in Germany as well, I can't open the page...

I did read the article using Google's cache, what peeked my curiosity was the cause of the unavailability.
So from the rest of the comments the access seems to be patchy, and it appears to be an IP-based block since from a single point it is either always accessible or not at all (not time or load dependant, I mean), probably their firewall is blocking by IP ranges based on previous intrusions or threats, or a similar criteria.
Anyways, Google cache was the option for those of us who could not access it directly and, although no images are shown in the cached version, the article was worth reading.
