I've got a lot to get done, and I'm running out of time. Well, I said it before, and I'll say it again. My luck works the best when I push it the hardest.
So in the next 27 hours, before I embark upon an all night driving trip to Albuquerque, I've got to
- Work from 9-6 tomorrow (and I've got lots to do, so I need to be productive)
- Pick up the bike from Twist It MotorSports
- Take the bike to Brad's house so we can cut the tires (luckily, he has experience)
- Install my new hand guards
- Replace my broken turn signal
- pack all of the stuff that I piled onto my tool bench into the saddle bags, and the truck
- Load Todd and my bike into the truck
- mow the lawn (ok, who am I kidding that's not going to happen)
- Spend some quality time with my family before I will be gone for a long time
- Gather up all kinds of electronic equipment because I'm sort of a nerd
- Figure out what tools I really need to take, and then pack them
Time to get to work!

Movies and tv shows
Note: Best to learn are shows with English and Spanish subtitles, English and Spanish audio with the Spanish audio matching the subtitles
Cable Girls – Las chicas del cable (Spain) – Netflix: Set in the 1920s, this is the story of four women from different backgrounds newly hired as operators for a phone company. Originally in Spanish with Castilian accent. Good story with character development and some historical social commentary. The Spanish audio matches the Spanish sub-titles! Has English audio and English sub-titles, though not an exact match. The Spanish said is close to what said in English for translation, but not word for word. To learn the story can watch in English or put on English sub-titles, then re-watch using Spanish audio with Spanish sub-titles. The Spanish matches exactly (nearly always). Can read along and listen. Can write down what is said for practice. Try listening and transcribing, then re-play with sub-titles to check. Very useful! Best show that have found. Has some music in English that plays at points, but there is not a lot of long dead silence or dramatic pauses that find in many "Spanish soap operas – novelas".
Grand Hotel / Gran hotel (Spain)- Netflix: 1905. Julio, a young man, arrives at the Grand Hotel, an idyllic place in the middle of the countryside, to investigate the disappearance of his sister.
Metastisis – Netflix: If you liked English language "Breaking Bad", then this is a good choice. The story has been re-made in Columbia with same script translated directly into Spanish.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt – Netflix: Originally in English. This is a bit of a dark comedy, but has me laughing. The Spanish spoken does not match the Spanish sub-titles (and what said in Spanish – as much as I can tell – is not a perfect match to the English sub-titles either). Would use just as listening practice.

Blueberries are a healthy, antioxidant-rich fruit, so a pie made from them already has healthy elements. The problem is, fatty pie crusts, lots of white sugar, and other additions can turn a healthy, berry-based dessert into an unhealthy indulgence. It is possible to keep the healthy aspect of blueberry pie, though, and still have a delicious end product. Here is a recipe for a delicious and healthy pie.
This is a bottom crust only pie.
Crust Ingredients
4 sheets organic, natural Graham crackers
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon sesame seed butter (tahini) Continue reading
It's nice to know that vegans can enjoy creamy, silky chocolate cream pie without any animal products. Here's how to make one.
If you can locate a pre-prepared, vegan graham cracker crust, by all means use it. This recipe includes directions for a simple, vegan graham cracker crust you can make yourself if you so choose.
10 graham cracker sheets
1/4 cup Sucanat or evaporated cane juice
1/3 cup melted buttery spread or safflower oil
Crush the grahams to make crumbs. Stir in the Sucanat and melted buttery spread. Mix well and turn the mixture out into a 9-inch pie pan. Press it outwards to cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Continue reading
You can buy fudge pops at the grocery store and they're fairly low in calories compared to other ice cream but the flavor is always a bit bland compared to making it from home. By using Greek yogurt you also get the extra benefit of these being a protein filled treat! The added protein makes them more nutritious and filling.
1 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup Greek yogurt (0% or 2% work best)
Dash of salt
Heat milk, cocoa, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the mixture while bringing it to a simmer for around 5 minutes. The cocoa should be fully combined. Continue reading
Hemp ice cream is non-dairy, soy-free, and gluten-free. Made with agave nectar, it's naturally sweet and contains fewer calories and carbs than ice cream made with dairy products and white sugar. Hemp is high in protein and rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Top with fresh fruit or nuts for a complete after-dinner treat.
1/2 C. Hemp Protein Powder
1/3 C. Agave Nectar
3 TBS Dark Chocolate Cocoa
1 1/2 Cans Coconut Milk (full fat)
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract Continue reading

Question about Kenmore Oasis HE 27082 Top Load Washer
Recently a washcloth went under and plugged the drain. Removed that and we also replaced lid lock. Now when turn on 50 comes up for washing and turns right to dU on display. What does that mean?
Posted by rreese on
Okay...it took me a while to find this information and make some sense of it. The "50" indicates a motor stall. That means the RPS sensor (which is located near the main drive motor ) does not sense any movement of the main drive motor under the wash tub. This could be related to your next error code which is the "DU". This is an "Door Unlock" error. You will need to perform the following checks if washer fails to lock (or unlock).
1. Perform Manual: Door Switch and Manual: Door Lid Lock tests.
2. Remove the console to access the machine/motor control assembly. This is accomplished by loosening the three screws in the back of the console. With the screws loosened, the panel lifts from the back first. Use care when handling as there is a small connector that connects to the operator interface board.
3. Locate the machine.motor control board on the right hand side (as viewed from the front of the washer). Visually check that the P12 connector is inserted all the way into the machine/motor
control. (There are three connectors on the right hand side of the control board. They are labeled as follows: BROWN (P10), BLUE (P11), and ORANGE (P12)
If visual check passes, go to step 4. If visual check fails, reconnect P4 and repeat step 1.
4. Check the lid lock motor winding and switches by removing P12 from the machine/
motor control and checking the resistance values shown in the Lid Lock resistance table below:
Motor Winding - Check P12-2 to P12-3 - 26 ohms (Lock Switch locked and unlocked).
Lock Switch Home - Check P12-1 to P12-4 - 0 ohms (Unlocked) Open Circuit (Locked).
Lock Switch Lock - Check P12-1 to P12-7 - Open Circuit (Unlocked) 0 ohms (Locked).
Lock Switch Lid - Check P12-1 to P12-5 - Lid Open (Open Circuit) Lid Closed (0 ohms).
If resistance values are good, proceed to step 5. If the switch measurements ae incorrect for unlocked (or locked) conditions, a problem exists in the door lid lock. Replace the door lid lock.
5. If the Manual: Door Switch or Manual: Door Lid Lock in step 1 failed, then the machine/motor control has failed: Unplug washer or disconnect power. Replace machine/motor control assembly.
There should be a tech sheet inside your washer that you can also get this information from. I have referenced these steps from the tech sheet. To access, you can either lift the washer from the front and reach the inside the cabinet from under the washer, or lift the top panel by pushing in on the release tabs. This is accomplished by inserting a putty knife along the seam where the top meets the front about two inched in from each side. Push in while lifting to release the tabs. CAUTION: Make sure you hold on to the washer lid to prevent it from swinging open as you lift the top.
The tech sheet is located on the inside of the front panel of the washer between the wash tub and cabinet interior. I mention this as there are helpful drawings and more detailed explanations to assist you. This can help avoid confusion from me explaining these steps to you. Since you mentioned you had just recently replaced the lid lock, you may double check your work to make sure you have everything reconnected correctly. Barring you purchased a bad part...if the lid lock proves to be good, you may have a defective control board.
I do hope you find this information helpful. Let me know if you require further assistance.

Home > WORDWAYS > Vol. 42 > Iss. 3 (2009)
Article Title
The capital of New Mexico beckons once more with the final collection of twenty five Albuquerque words. As was the case in the previous three journeys, their residues appear in Column A below, the result of eradication of a twice-repeated nonadjacent letter triad. Thirty of these comprise the listing in Column B, including five masquerading impostors. In performing the reconstructive surgery, remember that no triad can be reinserted into more than one residue. The brainpower required to complete this task, while considerable, would probably not phase ST- that's EINSTEIN's residue after the removal of the duplicate triad EIN. Can you say the same?

WAUKEGAN — I read, with interest, the article by Eric Zorn in your newspaper of Feb. 11 concerning the Jack Benny tribute. Ms. Breger never approached this organization with the request for any support or help whatsoever, as she implied in your newspaper article. Ms. Breger, if memory serves me correctly, did come by our office in late October of 1986 detailing her plans for that weekend. We have helped publicize this event in our chamber newsletter and through the Lake County, Illinois Convention & Visitor`s Bureau Calendar of Events.
We feel that Ms. Breger`s comments about our nonsupport should be corrected publicly, in order that this association is not maligned.

Re-elected council members sworn in to office
Groesbeck city council incumbents Warren Anglin and Kim Harris were sworn in to office for their new term at last week's city council meeting.
Council took that action at its May 16 meeting and also took care of other minor matters; and announced a new directive by Union Pacific Railroad on enforcing a prohibition against hanging signs from their overpasses.
Mayor Ray O'Docharty led the two newly re-elected council members in the oaths of office near the close of the meeting. Earlier in the meeting, the council had canvassed the votes and declared the winners for the two seats up for a vote.
Anglin received a total of 402 votes; Harris received 284 votes; and Jim Cox received 121.
After Anglin and Harris were sworn in and resumed their seats, the council voted to make Council member Matthew Dawley mayor pro tem and Harris deputy mayor pro tem.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A man accused of kidnapping the daughter of a South Carolina woman he once dated has now been charged with the girl's death.
Fifty-three-year-old Freddie Grant was being held Friday on a murder charge.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott says Grant led officers to the body of 15-year-old Gabbiee Swainson on Thursday.
Gabbiee's mother last saw her daughter at their home a year ago. Authorities have said Grant dated the mother, Elvia Swainson, and used a key he claimed to have lost to enter the family's home and take the girl from her bed as she slept.
Blood was found in Gabbiee's room, and authorities found Gabbiee's blood on duct tape near Grant's home. Lott has also said the roll that tape came from had DNA from both Grant and the girl.

Martial Arts
Martial arts are considered both an art and a science. Named after Mars, the Roman god of war, martial arts is a broad term that could be used to refer to almost anything related to warfare, fighting, or military practices – yet is most commonly understood to mean pertaining to systems, codified practices, traditions, and philosophies of training for individual self-defense, combat, and conditioning (of body, mind, and spirit).
Millions of people around the world practice martial arts (in one form or another). A practitioner of martial arts is usually referred to as a martial artist (rather than a fighter or warrior). Although martial arts can include the use of (personal) weapons, the use of firearms, explosives, and modern machines of war would seldom come to mind of most people using the term. The most common image many people tend to have is probably of an unarmed combatant – avoiding conflict when possible but not fearing (to engage in) it when inevitable.
Although there are differences between them, all martial arts share a similar objective: defending oneself (and often others) from physical threat. Many martial arts emphasize not only fighting philosophy and techniques but also health and fitness. In addition, some martial arts are linked to spiritual development and religious and philosophical beliefs (such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, or Shinto). Others abide by particular codes of honor. Many martial arts are practiced competitively, either as (controlled) combat sports or in the form of dance.
Martial arts vary widely, but they can be broadly grouped into focusing on:
* Punching: Boxing (Western), Wing Chun
* Kicking: Capoeira, Kickboxing, Savate, Taekwondo
* Other strikes:
o Elbows and knees: Muay Thai, Kali
o Open-hand: Karate, Shaolin Kung Fu
* Throwing: Glima, Judo, Jujutsu, Sambo, Wrestling
* Joint lock/Submission holds: Aikido, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Hapkido
* Pinning Techniques: Judo, Wrestling
* Traditional Weaponry: Fencing, Gatka, Kendo, Kyūdō, Eskrima
* Modern Weaponry: Jukendo, Shooting sports
Many martial arts, especially those from Asia, also teach side disciplines which pertain to medicinal practices. This is particularly prevalent in traditional Chinese martial arts which may teach bone-setting, qigong, acupuncture, acupressure (tui na), and other aspects of traditional Chinese medicine.
In popular culture, the term martial arts often specifically refers to Asian fighting styles – especially the combat systems that originated in East Asia. However, the term actually refers to any codified combat system, regardless of origin.
Europe is home to many extensive systems of martial arts, both living traditions (such as Jogo do Pau stick and sword fencing and Savate, a French kicking style developed by sailors and street fighters) and older systems of historical European martial arts that have existed through the present, many of which are now being reconstructed.
In the Americas, Native Americans have traditions of open-handed martial arts including wrestling, and Hawaiians have historically practiced arts featuring small- and large-joint manipulation. A mix of origins is found in the athletic movements of Capoeira, which Africans developed in Brazil to rebel against slavery, in much the same way that Africans in the United States developed Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa, and Africans in Mexico, Haiti, and Cuba used Cane Knives, hoes, and other tools to rebel against slavery, using movements based on skills they had brought from Africa.
While each style has unique facets that make it different from other martial arts, a common characteristic is the systematization of fighting techniques. Methods of training vary and may include (simulated combat) sparring or formal sets or routines of techniques known as forms or kata. Forms are especially common in the Asian and Asian-derived martial arts.
Some arts have a very specific focus while others, such as Mixed martial arts, are more syncretic.
Pictorial records of both wrestling and armed combat date to the Bronze Age ancient Near East, such as the 20th century BCE mural in the tomb of Amenemhet at Beni Hassan, or the 26th century BCE "Standard of Ur".
The oldest known records concerning combat techniques are hieroglyphic scrolls from Egyptian tomb dating back as far as 4000 BCE. African knives may be classified by shape—typically into the 'f' group and the 'circular' group—and have often been incorrectly described as throwing knives. There are also wrestling and grappling techniques found in West Africa. "Stick fighting" formed an important part of Zulu culture in South Africa, and is a significant part of Obnu Bilate, a fighting form practiced in southern Botswana and Northern South Africa. Stick fighting was also described in Ancient Egyptians tombs, it is still practiced in upper Egypt (Tahtib) and a modern association was formed in the 1970s. Rough and Tumble (RAT) is a modern African martial art, also incorporating elements of Zulu and Sotho stick fighting.
Native peoples of North America and South America had their own martial training which began in childhood. Some First Nations men, and more rarely some women, were called warriors only after they had proven themselves in battle. Most groups selected individuals for training in the use of bows, knives, blowguns, spears, and war clubs in early adolescence. War clubs were the preferred martial weapon because Native American warriors could raise their social status by killing enemies in single combat face to face. Warriors honed their weapons skills and stalking techniques through lifelong training.
Capoeira, with great roots in Africa, is an Afro-Brazilian or Afro American martial art originating in Brazil that involves a high degree of flexibility and endurance. It consists of kicks, elbow strikes, hand strikes, head butts, cartwheels and sweeps.
Jeet Kune Do is a martial arts system developed by martial artist and actor Bruce Lee. Its roots lie in Wing Chun, western boxing and fencing with a philosophy of a casting off what is useless and using no way as way.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an adaptation of pre-World War II Judo developed by the brothers Carlos and Hélio Gracie, it was restructured into a sport with a large focus on groundwork. This system has become a popular martial art and proved to be effective in mixed martial arts competitions such as the UFC and PRIDE.
Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa, is an Afro American martial art Capoeria an Afro South American Martial Art & Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa an Afro North American Martial Art with the same history. The African American Martial Art of Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa is a fighting system that is a result of slave rebellions, resistance, and freedom fighting movements like the The Underground Railroad, Seminole Wars, black troops in the union army and more, here in the USA. Kwa Asilia Avita Sanaa is a reorganization of the ancient Kemetic martial arts depicted on the tomb of Ramessu III in Kemet (Ancient Egypt) 1080 BCE and others.
The foundation of the Asian martial arts is likely a blend of early Chinese and Indian martial arts. Extensive trade occurred between these nations beginning around 600 BC, with diplomats, merchants, and monks traveling the Silk Road. During the Warring States period of Chinese history (480-221 BCE) extensive development in martial philosophy and strategy emerged, as described by Sun Tzu in The Art of War (around 350 BCE).
An early legend in martial arts tells the tale of a South Indian Pallava prince turned monk named Bodhidharma (also called Daruma), believed to have lived around 550 CE. The martial virtues of discipline, humility, restraint and respect are attributed to this philosophy. Daruma is also regarded as the founder of Zen Buddhism in China. Thus the values of ethical conduct and self discipline have been intertwined with martial practice since the earliest times. Also in China Buddhabhadra (called Batuo in Mandarin), an Indian dhyana master becomes the first abbot of the Shaolin temple. The Shaolin Monastery was built by the Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty in 477 CE.
The teaching of martial arts in Asia has historically followed the cultural traditions of teacher-disciple apprenticeship. Students are trained in a strictly hierarchical system by a master instructor: Sifu in Cantonese or Shifu in Mandarin; Sensei in Japanese; Sabeom-nim in Korean; Guru in Sanskrit, Hindi, Telugu and Malay; Kruu in Khmer; Guro in Tagalog; Kalari Gurukkal or Kalari Asaan in Malayalam; Asaan in Tamil; Achan or Khru in Thai; and Saya in Myanmar. All these terms can be translated as master, teacher or mentor.
Kalaripayat, martial art of Kerala, India that witnessed a revival in the 20th century
Europe's colonization of Asian countries also brought about a decline in local martial arts, especially with the introduction of firearms. This can clearly be seen in India after the full establishment of British Raj in the 19th century. More European modes of organizing police, armies and governmental institutions, and the increasing use of firearms, eroded the need for traditional combat training associated with caste-specific duties. and in 1804 the British Colonial government banned kalaripayat in response to a series of revolts. Kalaripayat and other traditional arts experienced a resurgence in the 1920s in Tellicherry and spread throughout South India. Similar phenomena occurred in Southeast Asian colonies such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. Other Indian martial arts, like Thang-Ta also witnessed a resurgence in the 1950s.
The Western interest in Asian martial arts dates back to the late 19th century, due to the increase in trade between the United States with China and Japan. Relatively few Westerners actually practiced the arts, considering it to be mere performance. Edward William Barton-Wright, a railway engineer who had studied Jujutsu while working in Japan between 1894–97, was the first man known to have taught Asian martial arts in Europe. He also founded an eclectic martial arts style named Bartitsu which combined jujutsu, judo, boxing, savate and stick fighting.
As Western influence grew in Asia a greater number of military personnel spent time in China, Japan, and South Korea. Exposure to martial arts during the Korean war was also significant. The later 1970s and 1980s witnessed an increased media interest in the martial arts, after martial artist and Hollywood actor, Bruce Lee, in the late 1960s and early 1970s before his untimely death. Thanks in part to Asian and Hollywood martial arts movies. Jackie Chan and Jet Li are prominent movie figures who have been responsible for promoting Chinese martial arts in recent years.
Martial arts existed in classical European civilization, most notably in Greece where sports were integral to the way of life. Boxing (pygme, pyx), Wrestling (pale) and Pankration (from pan, meaning "all", and kratos, meaning "power" or "strength") were represented in the Ancient Olympic Games. The Romans produced Gladiatorial combat as a public spectacle.
A number of historical fencing forms and manuals have survived, and many groups are working to reconstruct older European martial arts. The process of reconstruction combines intensive study of detailed combat treatises produced from 1400–1900 CE and practical training or "pressure testing" of various techniques and tactics. This includes such styles as sword and shield, two-handed swordfighting, halberd fighting, jousting and other types of melee weapons combat. This reconstruction effort and modern outgrowth of the historical methods is generally referred to as Western martial arts. Many Medieval martial arts manuals have survived, the most famous being Johannes Lichtenauer's Fechtbuch (Fencing book) of the 14th century. Today Lichtenauer's tome forms the basis of the German school of swordsmanship.
In Europe, the martial arts declined with the rise of firearms. As a consequence, martial arts with historical roots in Europe do not exist today to the same extent as in Asia, since the traditional martial arts either died out or developed into sports. Swordsmanship developed into fencing. Boxing as well as forms of wrestling have endured. European martial arts have mostly adapted to changing technology so that while some traditional arts still exist, military personnel are trained in skills like bayonet combat and marksmanship. Some European weapon systems have also survived as folk sports and as self-defense methods. These include stick-fighting systems such as Quarterstaff of England, bataireacht of Ireland, Jogo do Pau of Portugal and the Juego del Palo (Palo Canario) style(s) of the Canary Islands.
Other martial arts evolved into sports that no longer recognized as combative. One example is the pommel horse event in men's gymnastics, an exercise which itself is derived from the sport of Equestrian vaulting. Cavalryriders needed to be able to change positions on their horses quickly, rescue fallen allies, fight effectively on horseback and dismount at a gallop. Training these skills on a stationery barrel evolved into sport of gymnastics' pommel horse exercise. More ancient origins exist for the shot put and the javelin throw, both weapons utilized extensively by the Romans.
Wrestling, Javelin, Fencing (1896 Summer Olympics), Archery (1900), Boxing (1904), and more recently Judo (1964) and Tae Kwon Do (2000) are the martial arts that are featured as events in the modern Summer Olympic Games.
Martial arts also developed among military and police forces to be used as arrest and self-defense methods including: Kapap and Krav Maga developed in Israeli Defense Forces; San Shou in Chinese; Systema: developed for the Russian armed forces and Rough and Tumble (RAT): originally developed for the South African special forces (Reconnaissance Commandos) (now taught in a civilian capacity). Tactical arts for use in close quarter combat warfare, i.e. Military Martial arts e.g. UAC (British), LINE (USA). Other combative systems having their origins in the modern military include Soviet Bojewoje (Combat) Sambo. Pars Tactical Defence (Turkei security personally self-defense system)
Inter-art competitions came to the fore again in 1993 with the first Ultimate Fighting Championship this has since evolved into the modern sport of mixed martial arts.
Some traditional martial concepts have seen new use within modern military training. Perhaps the most recent example of this is point shooting which relies on muscle memory to more effectively utilize a firearm in a variety of awkward situations, much the way an iaidoka would master movements with their sword.
During the World War II era William E. Fairbairn, a Shanghai policeman and a leading Western expert on Asian fighting techniques, was recruited by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) to teach Jujutsu to U.K., U.S. and Canadian Special Forces. The book Kill or Get Killed, written by Colonel Rex Applegate, became a classic military treatise on hand-to-hand combat. This fighting method was called Defendu.
Traditional hand-to-hand, knife, and spear techniques continue to see use in the composite systems developed for today's wars. Examples of this include the US Army's Combatives system developed by Matt Larsen, the Israeli army trains its soldiers in kapap and Krav Maga, the US Marine Corps's Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP), and Chinese San Shou.
Unarmed dagger defenses identical to that found in the manual of Fiore dei Liberi and the Codex Wallerstein were integrated into the U.S. Army's training manuals in 1942[16] and continue to influence today's systems along with other traditional systems such as Eskrima.
The rifle-mounted bayonet, which has its origin in the spear, has seen use by the United States Army, the United States Marine Corps, and the British Army as recently as the Iraq War.
Testing or evaluation is important to martial art practitioners of many disciplines who wish to determine their progression or own level of skill in specific contexts. Students within individual martial art systems often undergo periodic testing and grading by their own teacher in order to advance to a higher level of recognized achievement, such as a different belt color or title. The type of testing used varies from system to system but may include forms or sparring.
Various forms and sparring are commonly used in martial art exhibitions and tournaments. Some competitions pit practitioners of different disciplines against each other using a common set of rules, these are referred to as mixed martial arts competitions. Rules for sparring vary between art and organization but can generally be divided into light-contact, medium-contact, and full-contact variants, reflecting the amount of force that should be used on an opponent.
These types of sparring restrict the amount of force that may be used to hit an opponent, in the case of light sparring this is usual to 'touch' contact, e.g. a punch should be 'pulled' as soon as or before contact is made. In medium-contact (sometimes referred to as semi-contact) the punch would not be 'pulled' but not hit with full force. As the amount of force used is restricted, the aim of these types of sparring is not to knock out an opponent; a point system is used in competitions.
A referee acts to monitor for fouls and to control the match, while judges mark down scores, as in boxing. Particular targets may be prohibited (such as the face or groin), certain techniques may be forbidden, and fighters may be required to wear protective equipment on their head, hands, chest, groin, shins or feet. In grappling arts aikido uses a similar method of compliant training that is equivalent to light or medium contact.
In some styles (such as fencing and some styles of Taekwondo sparring), competitors score points based on the landing of a single technique or strike as judged by the referee, whereupon the referee will briefly stop the match, award a point, then restart the match. Alternatively, sparring may continue with the point noted by the judges. Some critics of point sparring feel that this method of training teaches habits that result in lower combat effectiveness. Lighter-contact sparring may be used exclusively, for children or in other situations when heavy contact would be inappropriate (such as beginners), medium-contact sparring is often used as training for full-contact.
"Full-contact" sparring or fighting is considered by some to be requisite in learning realistic unarmed combat.[18] Full-contact sparring is different from light and medium-contact sparring in several ways, including the use of strikes that are not pulled but are thrown with full force, as the name implies. In full-contact sparring, the aim of a competitive match is either to knock the opponent out or to force the opponent to submit. Full-contact sparring may include a wider variety of permitted attacks and contact zones on the body.
Where scoring takes place it may be a subsidiary measure, only used if no clear winner has been established by other means; in some competitions, such as the UFC 1, there was no scoring, though most now use some form of judging as a backup.[19] Due to these factors, full-contact matches tend to be more aggressive in character, but rule sets may still mandate the use of protective gloves and forbid certain techniques or actions during a match, such striking the back of the head.
Nearly all mixed martial arts leagues such as UFC, Pancrase, Shooto use a form of full-contact rules, as do professional boxing organizations and K-1. Kyokushin karate requires advanced practitioners to engage in bare-knuckled, full-contact sparring while wearing only a karate gi and groin protector but does not allow punches to the face, only kicks and knees. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo matches do not allow striking, but are full-contact in the sense that full force is applied during grappling and submission techniques.
Some practitioners believe that sports matches with rules are not a good measure of hand-to-hand combat ability and training for these restrictions may inhibit effectiveness in real life self defense situations. These practitioners may prefer not to participate in most types of rule-based martial art competition (even one such as vale tudo where there are minimal rules), electing instead to study fighting techniques with little or no regard to competitive rules or, even perhaps, ethical concerns and the law (the techniques practiced may aim to kill or cripple the opponent). Others maintain that, given proper precautions such as a referee and a ring doctor, sparring, in particular full-contact matches with basic rules, serves as a useful gauge of an individual's overall fighting ability, and that failing to test techniques against a resisting opponent is more likely to impede ability in self defense situations.
Several martial arts, such as Judo, are Olympic sports
Martial arts have crossover into sports when forms of sparring become competitive, becoming a sport in its own right that is dissociated from the original combative origin, such as with western fencing. The Summer Olympic Games includes judo, taekwondo, western archery, boxing, javelin, wrestling and fencing as events, while Chinese wushu recently failed in its bid to be included, but is still actively performed in tournaments across the world. Practitioners in some arts such as kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu often train for sport matches, whereas those in other arts such as Aikido and Wing Chun generally spurn such competitions. Some schools believe that competition breeds better and more efficient practitioners, and gives a sense of good sportsmanship. Others believe that the rules under which competition takes place have diminished the combat effectiveness of martial arts or encourage a kind of practice which focuses on winning trophies rather than a focus such as cultivating a particular moral character.
The question of "which is the best martial art" has led to new forms of competition; the original Ultimate Fighting Championship in the U.S. was fought under very few rules allowing all martial arts styles to enter and not be limited by the rule set. This has now become a separate combat sport known as mixed martial arts (MMA). Similar competitions such as Pancrase, DREAM, and Shooto have also taken place in Japan.
Some martial artists compete in non-sparring competitions such as breaking or choreographed routines of techniques such as poomse, kata or aka, or modern variations of the martial arts which include dance-influenced competitions such as tricking. Martial traditions have been influenced by governments to become more sport-like for political purposes; the central impetus for the attempt by the People's Republic of China in transforming Chinese martial arts into the committee-regulated sport of Wushu was suppressing what they saw as the potentially subversive aspects of martial training, especially under the traditional system of family lineages.
As mentioned above, some martial arts in various cultures can be performed in dance-like settings for various reasons, such as for evoking ferocity in preparation for battle or showing off skill in a more stylized manner. Many such martial arts incorporate music, especially strong percussive rhythms.
Examples of such war dances include:
* A'rda – In Kuwait.
* Tahtib in Upper Egypt
* Buza – From Russia.
* Panther Dance – Burmese Bando with swords (dha)
* Gymnopaidiai – ancient Sparta
* European Sword dance or Weapon dance of various kinds
* Haka – New Zealand
* Sabre Dance – depicted in Khachaturian's ballet Gayane
* Maasai moran (warrior age-set) dances
* Aduk-Aduk – Brunei
* Ayyalah – Qatar
* Khattak Dance – Afghanistan and Pakistan
* Capoeira – Brazil (traditionally performed with a dance-like flavor and to live musical accompaniment) – as are some similar Afro-Caribbean arts
* Dannsa Biodag – Scotland and Scottish sword dances
* Hula & Lua – from the traditions of indigenous Hawaiian
* Combat Hopak – From Ukraine
* Yolah – From Oman/UAE
* Tamunangue- based on a traditional fighting style of El Juego del Garrote from Venezuela, influenced by the European fencing during the Spanish colonization of the Americas
Initially, the object of martial arts was self-defense and the preservation of life. Today, these needs continue to exist but do not constitute any longer the primary reason why an individual would busy themselves with them. Training in martial arts imparts many benefits to the trainee, both corporal and spiritual. Through systematic practice in the martial arts a person's physical fitness is boosted (strength, stamina, flexibility, movement coordination, etc.,) as the whole body is exercised and the whole muscular system is activated. In connection with the learning of correct breathing and an improved and wholesome diet, martial arts are an effective way of fighting many problems and diseases of contemporary society and sedentary life, and, generally, of a weakened immunity system.
Self-control, determination and concentration characterize the trainee, who always reacts productively and without stress when the circumstances demand it. Self-defense, then, and strong self-control. Through training, each individual gets to know themselves and their capabilities better as well as their sense of respect and right.
According to Bruce Lee, martial arts also have the nature of an art, since there is emotional communication and complete emotional expression. Martial arts may also be described as a way for the individual to discover himself and his environment.
Over time, the number of martial arts has grown and multiplied, with hundreds of schools and organizations around the world currently working towards myriad goals and practicing a huge variety of styles.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Around 300 Syrian refugees could be arriving in St. Louis within a years time and 10,000 are expected nationwide.
Anna Crosslin is President of the International Institute which helps the refugees resettle here.
"Syrians are going to fit in very well compared to other populations that we have been resettling," Crosslin says. "A lot of them live in the near south side neighborhoods where other refugees are living. They come to classes at the Institute…"
She says the federal government does a good job screening refugees to keep out the ones who may have been radicalized.
"You have to have some kind of a qualification to even be considered for the program at this point," Crosslin says. "So the likelihood of a terrorist wanting to be able to use that route, is very small simply because there are so many hurdles to be overcome."
Crosslin says the federal government will give them thorough background checks.

GLASTONBURY — Sharon Driscoll doesn't doubt that East Hartford/Glastonbury Elementary Magnet School parents and teachers will be just a telephone call away if she needs them to return to the state Capitol this year to plead for magnet school funding.
But this year, the chairwoman of the school's oversite committee says the panel is taking a more regional tack.
Representatives from the Capitol Region Education Council are preparing a bill that would ask the state to pay for 80 percent of all regional school expenses.

What might have been
TSR Wiki > Happy Birthday - The Student Room is 10 > What might have been
Over the years there have been various designs for pages that have been put forward that never became a part of the site. From new logos, to the ite header, often there has been more than one design to pick from. Many other pages started life as wireframes or mock-ups, taking cuttings and inspiration from other parts of TSR or even other sites. Here we take a look at some of the alternative designs and mock-ups and ask the question: what might have been...? Click on any of the images below to see larger versions and tell us what you think!
The homepage
|For many years homepage used to contain just a forum list - so it was always a key goal to make more of the homepage. Here are some of the ideas and variations from over the years which has lead to the homepage we have today.
The 'All Forums' page
|The page showing all the forums on the site is arguably one of the most important pages. Here are a couple of different designs and some different colour variations for it.
The site header
|The site is important for navigation and finding your way around and appears on every page of the site. Like loads of parts of the site, we've consider many different ideas for it - here are a few of them from 2007.
Other pages

The weather across the Midwest this weekend will be a tale of two regimes with warmth and dry conditions over the northern Plains and chill with flooding and other concerns farther to the east.
Record-challenging warmth will extend across parts of Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas this weekend. Temperatures are forecast to reach the 50s, 60s and even the 70s in some locations.
Cities that could set new record highs for the date into early next week include Minneapolis; Rapid City, South Dakota; Fargo, North Dakota; and Kansas City, Missouri.
Mild air from the Pacific that moved in this past week will hold on through Sunday. Sunshine will push AccuWeather.com RealFeel® Temperatures several degrees higher than the actual temperature during the midday and afternoon hours.
Despite the warmth, limited snowfall from this winter will translate to a low risk of river flooding over the upper Mississippi, Red and Missouri rivers moving forward this spring and perhaps drought conditions later. However, there is an immediate concern this weekend.
According to AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Mark Mancuso, "The combination of dormant grassland, a breeze, sunshine and warmth will create an elevated risk of brush fires through the weekend over portions of the Plains and Upper Midwest."
Enough of a mix of Pacific air and sunshine will allow temperatures to climb to above-average levels for the middle of March from Wisconsin to Illinois and Missouri, including around Chicago and St. Louis.
Farther east, temperatures will transition to seasonable and even chilly in some cases this weekend.
In contrast to the dry conditions over the Plains, flooding issues will be a concern farther to the east.
A storm swinging up from the Southern states will depart the middle Mississippi and Ohio valleys early on this weekend, but problems may linger in its wake.
Runoff from that rain and prior melting snow from the storm will lead to new concerns of flooding ranging from small streams to the Ohio River itself. Ice flows along some streams will complicate the problem in the Ohio Basin and along waterways that drain into the Great Lakes.
As the storm progresses through the Northeast states this weekend, clearing will follow the rain in the Ohio Valley and lower Great Lakes for Cincinnati and Indianapolis.
Where the sky clears and winds diminish Saturday night, locally dense fog could form in the Ohio Valley states.
Chilly air will circulate southward around the departing storm and could be noticeable for cities such as Detroit and Cleveland by Sunday. Colder air can lead to rain and snow showers around the lower Great Lakes region to the western slopes of the Appalachians.

For further information, contact Melissa Maimann at Essential Birth Consulting. Link
A SENATE committee will today deliver its findings following an inquiry into the Federal Government's proposed healthcare laws, which could see up to 200 midwives deregistered. Under the changes, midwives must be insured in order to be registered, but private insurers no longer provide cover for homebirthing.
Opponents believe it will drive the practice underground and increase health risks.
Midwives have argued that outlawing homebirths removes a mother's right to choose and will be a step back to the dark ages.
About 2000 women have submitted their names to the senate inquiry, showing the depth of opposition to the issue, Australian Private Midwives Association president Liz Wilkes said.
It's great that this is getting out in the media, but it's so important that facts are reported, not hysteria. No midwife will be deregistered as a result of the proposed legislation. Private midwives will be able to register, but as non-practicing midwives. What is affected is our ability to practice, not our ability to register. Practicing without insurance may result in disciplinary action that may include deregistration.

- Lacy Shoulders -
Added Jun 26, 2010
by catfish101
Norwich, United ...
This top was inspired by an Ella Moss tee I saw here on late afternoon. I really loved the look of the lace over the shoulders. Mine is no where near as lovely as the original but I had a good go and I've already worn it more than once. It was pretty simple to make. I used the same t-shirt pattern that I made and used here, sewed it all up in a black cotton jersey then added strips of lace over the shoulders and cut away the fabric from underneath. The lace comes from the sleeve of the lace shirt I bought from a charity shop.

The face of Gordon Honeycombe is to return to the screen when he
reads the news once more as part of ITN's 50th anniversary celebrations.
Honeycombe, who last read the news for ITN in 1977, is one of five
former newsreaders who will be presenting the ITV Evening News later
this month.
Twice voted the most popular newsreader in Britain,
by readers of The Sun and the Daily Mirror, Honeycombe is returning
from Australia where he now lives, to present the news with Mary
Nightingale on 22 September.
Honeycombe, who returned to the
screen as TVam's chief newsreader between 1984 and 1989, was voted the
most popular male TV newscaster by readers of Woman's Own in 1986 and
was Britain's longest-serving TV newscaster.
The BBC has agreed
to allow BBC One O'clock News presenter Anna Ford to return to ITN for
a day, 24 years after she left to join TV-am.
Other familiar
faces who will be copresenting the news during the week of 19 to 23
September are Selina Scott, the former News at Ten co-anchor who left
the broadcaster 1986; Martyn Lewis, who left ITN to present the BBC's
news bulletins; and Julia Somerville, who joined ITN in 1987 and was
presenter on the ITV News Channel until 2001. They will appear
alongside either Nightingale, who has recently returned from maternity
leave, or Mark Austin.

Today I was getting ready to leave my flat for my afternoon shift when, hurrying to finish my lunch, I managed to catch the very end of Prime Minister's Question Time (PMQs) on the TV.
The twelfth and final question was asked by the Conservative member for Wells, David Heathcoat-Amory, and this is what he had to say:
"As the Prime Minister knows, this is the International Year of Astronomy. Does he therefore support the Campaign for Dark Skies, which is good for astronomy and also saves energy? If he does, will he play his part by turning off—or at least dimming—the lights in public buildings, including Downing Street, where all the lights are on very late into the night?"
As someone who is passionate about astronomy my ears immediately pricked up and I was momentarily diverted from my Marmite sandwiches. Did I really just hear a question on astronomy asked in the House of Commons? Really? Well this was our learned Prime Minster's response:
"I thought that the right hon. Gentleman was going to complain about European regulations, because that is normally what he does. All of us have a responsibility to save electricity and all Government Departments and all parts of government should be involved in doing so."
What a bullshit answer. Now I'm the first to admit that this question wasn't the most pressing matter of the day. There had already been questions on the Afghan election, the Lockerbie disaster and climate change, far more important than whether you can adequately star spot.
However, Gordy barely even answered the question instead using it to score cheap points against the Opposition. The token answer of "all of us have a responsibility blah blah blah blah" was about as satisfying as my Marmite sandwiches. He might as well have said piss off lets all go for some lunch.
And this is the great problem; there are too few advocates of science in Government. Regular Just a Theory readers will recall my ongoing debate with Labour peer and Science Minister Lord Drayson (which I am happy to say is going to happen with the next month or so). Despite my well documented grievances, Lord Drayson is really on science's side and we should continue to hope for more of his ilk.
So, having seemingly ranted for eight paragraphs thus far I feel I should tell you the premise behind Campaign for Dark Skies. The essence is that there is so much wasteful light thrown up into the night sky that the skylines of most major UK cities are horribly hued a kind of murky orange. This limits the glory of the night sky to around 50-100 stars rather than the normal 1500 that should visible from these shores.
Jacob blogged earlier in the week about the Trillionth Tonne, a website counting the cost of our inability to tackle climate change. In his post he called the ever increasing figure "sobering to watch". Equally the Campaign for Dark Skies have a counter clocking up the amount of money wasted due to street lamps showering some of their light up into the sky rather than down where we need it.
In fact, the counter ticks along at £4 a second, which means since the 1st January 2009 the UK has wasted over £100 million on electric lights that serve no purpose whatsoever. And that is just street lights. The full estimate, including business and industrial based lighting, is likely to be over £1 BILLION. I'm not even going to argue the astronomical perspective on this one. Yes you would be able to see more stars but £100 million pounds, or more likely £1 BILLION, is just a pointless waste our OUR money.
This comes on a day when after PMQ's, Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth stood before Parliament and detailed a report suggesting MOD cost cutting led to the deaths of 14 service personnel in a Nimrod crash in 2006. Ainsworth said that,
"in our pursuit of financial savings the MoD and the RAF allowed their focus on safety to suffer. We accept this with regard to the Nimrod XV230"
Don't get me wrong I am not blaming the deaths of those 14 servicemen on wasteful street lighting. However what really gets my goat is that when a valid science question that could save our economy upwards of £1 billion is actually asked in Parliament, and on a day when the Government is held to account for its penny pinching, that our dearest PM shits all over it.

Catalogue entry
One of the most significant series of studies dating from Turner's 1819 trip to Rome was the sequence of on-the-spot pencil sketches relating to the Loggia of Raphael, a colonnaded porch on the second floor of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace, decorated by Raphael (1483–1520) and his studio. The sixteenth-century loggia, which looks out over the Cortile San Damaso and St Peter's Square, is approximately 65 metres long and 4 metres wide (215 by 13 feet) and comprised of thirteen bays. Turner made a closely detailed visual record of the room, particularly concentrating on the southern end of the interior and the decoration of the first three bays and window arches, see folios 13 verso–21 (D14955–D14965). From these drawings evolved the artist's first exhibited oil painting following his Italian tour, the vast canvas Rome from the Vatican. Raffaelle Accompanied by La Fornarina, Preparing his Pictures for the Decoration of the Loggia 1820 (Tate, N00503).1 It has been widely suggested that Turner thought of the idea for the picture whilst he himself was actually sketching there.2 However, the precise nature of these studies, focusing almost exclusively on the first three bays of the loggia, strongly suggests that in fact the artist had already conceived the theme before commencing his sketching campaign and was specifically gathering material with the concept already well advanced in his mind. Virtually every element recorded within his drawings was employed within the composition of the finished painting, and there are no sketches extraneous to this purpose.
This page represents a study of the receding perspective of the first three bays of the loggia, looking towards the southern end with the inside wall on the right and the arched windows on the left. As Cecilia Powell first identified, Turner's viewpoint must have been standing right up against the inside wall at the end of the fourth bay.3 Positioned at the far end of the room is a plinth containing a portrait bust of Raphael by Alessandro d'Este (1787–1826), the son of the current Director of the Vatican Museums.4 The drawing provides the main compositional basis for the right-hand side of Rome from the Vatican, although in the finished version there are three, not four, bays visible, and the plinth stands empty in favour of the figure of Raphael himself in the foreground.

See Powell 1987, pp.62 and 116–7, and Hamilton et al. 2009, p.53. Hamilton, for example, has described the studies as 'far more detailed than [Turner] would reasonably need if he were not sympathetic to, and even complicit in, a complete copying of them' and has stated that the artist only 'used a fraction' of them.
