We are so lucky that the circus that is the trial of the terrorist murderer khalid sheik mohammed is down in gitmo...

Is anyone shocked that someone who planned and committed the plot that killed over 3000 people would show no remorse or respect for the proceedings...

First off I would like to thank ATC for this ideal, if not for him I did not know what I was going to do. As all of you know my boys are heading to florida for the AAU Nationals in July plus they are competing here in Dallas for USAT. They are trying to raise enough to be able to due both. Here is a link to the gofundme page www.gofundme.com/nuo8g if you can spare anything if would be appreciated both my sons Caleb and Michael should qualify for the AAU team this year came close last year. Those of you that have had the pleasure of meeting and training with them know they are A students and have never ever been in any trouble. I would normanally be helping others but the past year has put a financial hold on my family with all my medical expenses. If you could find it in your hearts to help I promise it will come back ten times later in your life. Caleb is 15 and Michael is 13 and they have a lemonade stand on the weekend and holding garage sales as well, they simply understand the position we are in but they will not give up trying. I know GOD will find a way for them to go and compete he always does and I know the TKD community is very giving even with all the brickering we do. Once a TKD person always. Yes my school is still there and we are moving very slowly trying to rebuild but it is and will be a long rode but one we will get back to.


P.S Zachary will not be doing AAU because they no longer have an adult team anymore so he is staying with USAT this year and every other.

Sincerly

Utilizes NOSPEP, An NOS Promoting Bioactive Peptide Fraction

Let's face it, arginine just doesn't cut it anymore when it comes to eliciting truly effective pumps (i.e. hyperemia). Focusing on one or two physiological pathways to get an insane pump wasn't enough either. The companies who believe in intelligent formulation have already made the switch. By now you probably figured out that Gaspari Nutrition researchers pay close attention to the research trends, which is why we took a different approach to pushing the limits of blood engorged muscle. The first approach was to promote NOS activation by delivering a bioactive peptide fraction. We then added a powerful herbal extract that delivered natural nitrates and a stilbene to assist with nutrient partitioning. We finished off this ground breaking formula with both a lactate donor and a powerful glycerophosphate to support endurance and hyperemia. Once all was said and done, researchers built the Gaspari.s first ULTIMATE PUMP SOLUTION and called it VASOTROPIN. Combining the right synergy of pump promoting ingredients was the key to success in creating Vasotropin. Get ready for the pumps of your life, only from Gaspari Nutrition.

Well here is an update on my journey, from 327 lbs. to 259 lbs.
My health is bad by all my doctors had new stints put in two of my valves but need to have them replace.
My kidneys are not working great and keep forming kidney stones just about every six weeks.
My lungs are completely shot between the lung desease they also say I have COPD.
I need knee replacement on the left leg so looking toward November for that.

They gave me a permant Handicap tag for all my cars but really do not want to use them. Was told to exorcise in small routine four or five time a day.

I only have a another 94 lbs to be at 165 where I was when I was thirty so I am working on it. The hardest part is the support groups. Sometimes I wish I was not going but my core of doctor agree I need it. So here is my update anybody else wants to share?

I just met a kung fu sifu and had a nice chat with him, we chated about martial arts not focusing in a single topic, I am a 2nd dan black belt in TKD and liked the moves of the praying mantis but I must admit the only thing I know about kung fu is what I saw in Bruce Lee Movies of the 70's and the new movies on Kung Fu Panda, so... I do not nothing about KF either way.

IF....... I wanted to study Kung Fu what kind of KF you advise me to look at. I am 6 feet tall and 240 punds so I think I am a little heavy to do praying mantis or white crane, I am not an acrobatic guy but a powerful one.

Where can I see good videos (on the net) of diferent typoes on Kung Fu?

If you could have any job in the world what would you choose?
Im watching that show river monsters and just think that guy has the coolest job ever. he gets to travel all over the world and go fishing for huge fish.

Id like his job or Id like to run a custom fish tank building company like that show Tanked.

I guess abother cool choice would be a travel reporter get to travel all over for free and write about my trip.

It started today, had it in the past, hate it:
you look at a website and certain words are a link and when you get close to it with the mouse a window pops up.

I am running firefox with minimal addons...

Suggestions to rid myself of this bane of my existence?

I have an aging Thinkpad R60 that I still use. It's been a good friend to me over the years and I run Linux on it which explains why it hasn't been relegated to a recycle pile yet.

However, of late the screen has taken on a decidedly yellow tint which makes text hard to read. I've connected the laptop to an external monitor and the color is fine there, so I think the problem is with the panel. Anyone have experience with this? Is there a cheap repair or do I just have to replace the entire screen? The poor thing is so old, it doesn't make much sense to dump even $60 into it, and that seems to be the going price for a recycled replacement LCD without including labor.

Wear from training, through your next competition all the way to the winner's podium.
Stitched with a inside-out stitch, so the interior is especially comfortable around the seams.
Constructed from a high quality lightweight polyspandex with long sleeves and a long torso to protect you from mat-born germs. Longer torso that keeps from rolling up.

Dennis Hanover founded Hisardut in Isreal and has trained in it and trains people in it for over 50 years from what I can rememeber. He was awarded 3rd dan by Mas Oyama Himself and Achieved 10th Dan in Jujitsu you can read this in www.MartialartsLA.com which is a school that trains directly under him. He also trained in Judo, and I think aikido, which is why this is posted in this thread.

Does anyone think this school is good? Im not saying its not I just want to know peoples opinions :) below are some clips so you can make your own judgement.
