This support forum belongs to the Form Gallery Module.
Form has a bug tracker here: https://github.com/ghinch/yui-gallery-form/issues
Page 1 of 2 | [ 12 posts ] | Go to page 1, 2 Next |
I'm not a YUI or javascript expert, but I would really like to use Form to help me validate form fields. I have a simple mortgage calculator with three input fields (loan_amount, interest_rate, loan_term) and I don't need to submit the form, just detect a click on a Calculate button, perform, the calculation and show the result in a read-only field. However, I do need to validate the 3 input fields before I perform the calculation. At the moment, it looks like validation is performed when the submit event is detected. Since I have my form set up with onsubmit="return(false);", can I configure form to use another event? TIA, Nick |
Alberto SantiniYUI Contributor
Hello nickweavers.
It may help the validator attribute. Did you give a look at form examples: http://www.greghinch.com/examples/form/ Hope that helps, IceBox |
Hi Alberto,
Yes I looked at the examples but didn't see anything there on how to either use another event. Nick |
Alberto SantiniYUI Contributor
Hello Nick.
Maybe I misunderstood the use case. In the examples the validation is done before the submit using validator. Is it not your case? Regards, Alberto |
It may make sense to use inline validation:
http://www.greghinch.com/yui3-gallery/docs/Form.html#config_inlineValidation Setting this to true in your form will validate that individual field as soon as it is changed by the user. You can also set "validateInline" to true on individual fields to just do that on specific ones and not the whole form. Finally, you can call "validateField()" on any field at any time to do the validation when it makes sense for you, but you'll have to define when that is specifically for you application. Hope that helps! |
Hi Alberto,
I think it was me who misunderstood the order of things. Thanks for making it clearer. Nick |
Hi Greg,
Right, inline validation would work nicely I think. The bit that confuses me in the code that is generated is that in my markup I have a button like this <button id="repayment_calculator_submit" type="submit">Calculate</button> but after calling myForm.render(); it changes to this <button id="repayment_calculator_submit-field" class="field">Calculate</button> The problem for me is that I have an event listener for the onSubmit that looks like this function calculateMortgageRepayment(e) { e.preventDefault(); ... // Use form field contents to do calculation and show result ... } So this now isn't called and my Calculate button doesn't work. How should I get around this? Thanks, Nick |
Alberto SantiniYUI Contributor
Hello Nick.
I think you should set to false the attribute (not documented) submitViaIO and define (override) the submit function with the content of the calculateMortgageRepayment function. See the working example: http://jsfiddle.net/HHEMZ/ Hope that helps, Alberto P.S.: Greg, I am sorry if I have been overlapping this thread. I hope my suggestion is correct. P.S.: Nick, and you should remove onsubmit. |
Thanks for all your help Alberto.
I have tried to replicate the essential parts of what you had in the jsfiddle example, but even with "submitViaIO: false" in the form config and the repayment_calculator.get('srcNode').submit = function () { alert('Pressed submit'); .... } I am seeing the form get submitted and the alert does not show. You can see the page with the form on here: https://www.chimneypotsonline.co.uk/ind ... owFormPage (I'm only working on the lower form at the moment, there are two forms on the page.) I must have overlooked something so I'll keep staring at the code. Nick |
Alberto SantiniYUI Contributor
Hello Nick.
In that page there is an error in yui_calculate_mortgage_repayment.js (line27): Uncaught ReferenceError: myForm is not defined. I think you should use repayment_calculator. And in submit function there is the line "e.preventDefault();": "e" is not defined. Hope that helps, Alberto |

In a recent interview with VG247.com (linked above), it was revealed that the original build of Modern Warfare 2 had a co-op campaign mode.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling briefly commented about it along with detailing a "substitute" for the co-op mode, Spec Ops mode.
To quote from the interview: "We did it early on; that's what Spec Ops started out as, as co-op through story," said Bowling when asked why Campaign co-op didn't make the final game.
"But it really broke the cinematic experience, took the immersion out of it, out of the story and the pacing and everything we'd spent so long crafting.
It just ruined the experience we were aiming for, so we took it out, kept the single-player for that one player intact and polished it."

Back to North Frisia: Föhr
After an eventul time in North Africa, I settled down in Europe again (in full posession of my optical and photography equipment!). Not back home in Austria, but in the German Wadden Sea (again after 2010) – a fascinating region of outstanding importance for millions of birds.
This time, I'm on the calm island of Föhr, the second largest of the German islands in the North Sea. I'm working for Schutzstation Wattenmeer, monitoring breeding and migrating birds, geese and daytime migration as part of a survey on an on-shore wind power project on the island.
Spring is slowly returning also here in the Wadden Sea, with swallows, Willow Warblers and Bluethroats arriving from the winter quarters. Many wintering species, such as Rough-legged Buzzard and Redwing are still present on the island and the migration of species breeding in the arctic such as Brent Goose (among them also a few of the Greenlandic subspecies hrota), Bar-tailed Godwit, Dunlin and Red Knot is in full swing – with thousands of birds coming to high tide roosts.
I'm out in the field most of the time and currently, there's not much time left for photography and even less for editing etc. So, just a quick selection of images taken during my first week here.

iMark Realty Advisors announces partnership
From staff reports
iMark Realty Advisors of Flower Mound and Bedford Strategies and Solutions have aligned to provide specialized tax services to local business owners.
Bedford is a national leader in cost segregation studies and offers a variety of other services designed to help commercial real estate owners reduce tax liability and increase cash flow.
iMark will be marketing Bedford�s service offerings to current and new clients in the DFW and North Texas area. iMark helps clients to safely buy, sell, lease, develop and invest in commercial real estate.
"For over 25 years, I have helped clients make the best decisions on solving their commercial real estate issues. Helping clients save taxes and increase cash flow fits our mission as commercial real estate advisors."
Bruce Johnson, Partner at Bedford said, �The alignment of iMark and Bedford will add to our growth in the region. With Mark�s experience, professionalism and knowledge of the business, he will make an immediate positive impact.�
Cost segregation, energy incentives, and other specialized tax strategies have been available to commercial businesses for years. Many business owners are not aware of these tax advantages and many CPA firms are not structured to conduct the specialized studies required by the IRS.
"Cost segregation requires not only a tax expert, but construction, engineering, and financial expertise," Johnson said. Bedford is structured and staffed with all these disciplines. "Assisting local CPA Firms to provide these benefits to their clients will be a big part of our service," Glover said.

The Digital Marketing Trip: 3 amazing days in the hippest zones of the Digital Industry of London!
Thanks to Ron Morris, Director of the INSEEC Campus in London, Dinis Guarda, Founder and CEO at Ztudium |IntelligentHQ and Sophie Gironi, Consultant at Bleekin and Professor of Social Media at IUM, this trip will forever be engraved in the Master of Science in Digital Marketing cohort's experience. Day 1: Facebook Who would believe that we were welcomed in London with the sun? Crazy yet true, the trip had a great start! Early morning, Dinis Guarda presented the Career Guide he created for students willing to pursue a career in Digital Marketing. Giving an overview of the London market and how to penetrate it was a good appetizer for our trip. [caption id="attachment_2559" align="aligncenter" width="622"] The Master in Digital Marketing students in front of the Famous Facebook Wall![/caption] Putting theory into practice, we opened the Facebook door and got our badges (through an App. obviously). Everything seemed to be orchestrated: the babyfoot, the hammock. An amazing thing is that the employees had tee-shirt with creative mottos such as "Done is better than perfect" and others that were inspiring. Welcome to the Facebook universe! Julien Codorniou, Platform Manager UK, escorted us to the 3rd and 4th floor to reach the mythical Wall where we shot dozen of pictures with the recently acquired tee-shirts. We finalized our visit through a Q&A format with Julien, discovering some of Facebook current challenges: they are struggling to penetrate the Chinese and Russian markets, they are investing a lot in social gaming and they are having different competitors as they are evolve in a multisided market. Day 2: Level39 and Venturethree Still not raining! We all met at the entrance of One Canada Square in the business district where we visited Level 39. Opened in March 2013, Level 39 is one of the hippest accelerator spaces at Canary Wharf. It allows companies to create, test and market their products to some of the world's largest and most influential technology buyers, investors and mentors. Digital Marketing is closely connected to branding. That's why we scheduled to visit Venture three, a branding agency advising Manchester United, Lego, Sky Channels among others. Students were really pleased as they understood how the theory taught in the course Brand Management was applied in real life. The Master of Science in Digital Marketing at IUM is a combination of theory and practice. Sometimes students struggle with theory but they understand later on how useful is it. The benefit of the Master of Science in Digital Marketing takes years to be fully evaluated. I was happy to see the first result in live. After having given their business cards for jobs and internships, students finalized this day with a short debrief with Dinis and Ron. Day 3: Google Campus We started our last day at the Inseec Campus where Paul Jenkinson, Managing Director of Jenson Funding Partners was interviewed by Daniel Steeves on the topic of the Impact of Cloud Computing on businesses. Quite interesting experience to be backstage during a web video interview! [caption id="attachment_2562" align="aligncenter" width="567"] Google Campus[/caption] Finally, last but not least: Google Campus. This is another DNA. Openspace, but quite different than Facebook! This first edition of the Digital Marketing Trip was a major success on the whole and will surely be repeated next year. Meeting professionals from the Digital world in an exceptional city such as London is one of many opportunities that IUM's Master of Science in Digital Marketing has to offer. We hope you will be on-board with us in the near future! *** With a strong practical learning approach, the MSc in Digital Marketing has been designed to fulfill the needs of the high growth market of the Web2.0. This Master of Science will guide you to acquire the specific mindset to adapt in this daily evolving environment.

The Master in Finance trip: an immersion in the finance industry!
On April 17-19, the Master of Science in Finance students had the chance to visit some of the biggest finance companies in the city of London! Thomas, Constantine, Mirunalini, Larissa, Gaspard, Harsh, Patrick and Adam, students in this Program, have prepared the report below. Wednesday - Day 1 BNP Paribas CIB Upon our arrival in London, the first meeting was held in the INSEEC campus which has a stunning view on the Paddington Street Gardens. Terrence Perrin, the Head of Campus Recruitment for BNP Paribas Corporate and Investment Banking, gave us a presentation about the graduate recruitment processes in Investment Banking. The BNP Paribas group is an European leader in providing solutions for Corporations and financial institutions. The discussion was oriented over the possibilities for graduates to enter positions in business departments such as Corporate Banking, or Advisory and Capital Markets. The goal was to go through the interview and application process in order to analyze candidate requirements in term of motivations, skills, and values. The dialogue was interesting as the intervenient was aware about graduate situations and therefore he was able to deliver inside advice and tips on how to get jobs. (Reported by Thomas Ippoliti) Ignis Asset Management The second company we visited on Wednesday was Ignis Asset Management, the child company of Phoenix Group corresponding to UK's largest consolidator of life assurance funds. Once we were in their very glamorous conference room, chief economist Stuart Thompson kick-started the presentation by giving us a macroeconomic insight of the current markets and how the yield curve can be manipulated as to realize greater returns. After getting a taste of the effectiveness of forward rates and impact of the recession in global markets, the presentation took a more company-specific turn where an analysis of the underlying strategy and structure of Ignis were introduced. Johanna Pollet (European Sales team) and Tim Edwards (COO) did an excellent job at describing the culture and operational structure of the company, and enlightened us on their recent strategy shift towards attracting third party investors. After an engaging Q&A process by the students, Johanna showed us several investor letters and reports for the year ended and shortly after bid us farewell. (Reported by Constantine Brynie) Thursday – Day 2 Janus Capital International We visited the asset management company Janus Capital Group Inc which is a publicly owned asset management holding company with about $150 billion in assets under management and based in Denver, Colorado. Janus Capital has subsidiaries Perkins Investment Management and INTECH Investment Management through which it manages a wide range of investments in equity, fixed income, money markets, and balanced mutual funds for its clients. We were also surprised that Janus Capital had been one of the biggest asset management companies in the US before the 2008 financial crisis and they discussed their long-only investment strategy and the their top two investment stocks: Apple and Burberry in response to a question by one of our students, Patrick Buhmann. Despite recent doubts of the growth prospects of Apple Inc and the share price decline, Janus Capital still believed that Apple Inc was a valued investment. They also invested further in Burberry equity as their research team was confident of the stock's long-term growth prospects. We also had insight into the firm's corporate culture and their career opportunities through a presentation by the Global Head of HR. The corporate visit to Janus had indeed been informative and inspiring to our future careers. (Reported by Mirunalini Sivakumar) The Cambridge Strategy We were welcomed by the COO, Tony Henry, who introduced us to the operational, legal and compliance side of the business of running a hedge fund and allowed us to ask questions about the day-to-day operations as well as his background in the industry. He introduced us to several of his colleagues and each of them took their time to speak about their area of expertise. Chief Executive Edward Baker gave us an overview of the funds managed by The Cambridge Strategy as well as an insight into the company's general macro-economic outlook and some of the global macro-economic trades the funds had previously entered into. Later on, CIO Russell Thompson joined to speak about the specific currency funds managed by The Cambridge Strategy and explained the reason behind their strong focus on Asian and other Emerging Market currencies. He allowed us to ask questions about the reasons behind their directional trades and their views on future developments in the currency markets, especially for the Japanese Yen. The fund's research team, headed up by Jolie de Miranda, came to elaborate on the technical side of portfolio management, the systems used to generate trades and their unique approach to risk management. Their trade generation and capital allocation techniques were discussed in detail and they also presented their views on current market developments from a quantitative point of view. COO Tony Henry then invited Alex Shaw, the Head of European Sales to present the sales and client relationship management side of the business to us. We discussed the legal framework for hedge fund marketing as well as the industry landscape for bigger and smaller players and the impact of hedge funds on the investment management industry in general. Mr. Shaw also elaborated on his approach to expanding the business and his background in the industry. The session was then wrapped up with a general Q&A and Mr. Henry gave us advice on building our careers in the financial industry in London. (Reported by Larissa Lielacher and Gaspard Coudrier) The Cambridge Strategy is a London-based Asset Management firm serving institutional clients with their Currency and Equity portfolios. They described some of the concepts of the proprietary model used to generate risk-adjusted returns by managing volatility, tail and extreme risk. The representatives at the company were friendly, welcoming and eager to share their knowledge and included people all the way from Research Scientists to top level management. We gained insight into global macro investing in both their currency and equity portfolios as they spent close to three hours explaining their approach to investing, risk management and their investment to client services, operations and compliance. In their presentation, we had references to concepts like risk-parity which they used and something we learn in Hedge Funds Management class in the MSc program and the Extreme Value Theory approach they use, we learn in the Hedge Funds Strategy course at IUM. We received first-hand exposure to the link between theories from class and their practical applications. (Reported by Harsh Srivastava) Friday – Day 3 PER – Private Equity Recruitment Our last day started in the heart of London just a few meters away from Trafalgar Square. After some starting difficulties, some of us realized that York Buildings is not a building but a street name and we came just in time to our meeting with Gail McManus. During the more than 2 hours she shared her insights of the industry with us and answered open and straightforward out questions. The bottom line of the session with Gail was that knowing and focussing on your strengths can bring you far but playing the PE recruitment game and keeping it simple will bring you far in the recruitment process. According to Gail a rejection during the recruitment process is normal. We should take the rejection as a possibility to learn and make things better the next time. She compared it to a Super Mario game. You try level one the first time and you fail. But the next time you do it you finish level one and you proceed to level two. Getting recruited is like a game: you have to finish successfully several levels. If you fail, you start all over and make it better the next time. Trying hard and over and over again will bring you success. (Reported by Patrick Buhmann) Nomura International During our trip to London we were lucky enough to visit Nomura's EMEA headquarters at One Angel Lane. It was a great opportunity to learn about this leading financial service firm with oriental heritage, as well, to get an inside look into one of the most battered areas following the financial crisis; the structured products market. We discussed with a panel of skilled professionals who had hands on experience in the arena. Among others, we were able to see through the eye of a structured product trader the challenges that arisen from the 2008 crisis; How he dealt with the drop in volume and liquidity in the market, as well as the bankruptcy and eventual takeover of his old firm; Lehman Brothers. Furthermore, we attended a presentation which elaborated on the virtues and vices of volatility as an asset class. Interesting aspects were addressed such as selling volatility-- which results in a steady cash stream -- is not for the faint hearted or how to trade the VIX yield curve. (Reported by Adam Feller) On day 2, they also had the opportunity to meet the IUM Alumni who graduated from the Master in Finance program. We met Oskar, Ashkhan, Simon and a few others who had successful careers in London. Simon was lively and good-humoured as he spoke to us about how he had gotten an internship in London while he was trying to launch a hedge fund in Monaco with his friends. He was currently working in Ernst & Young (London) in the Financial Services and Technology division where he often interviewed entry level candidates. He entertained us with stories of successful candidates and what interviewers really look for: the intelligent who can keep their cool and differentiate themselves. (Reported by Mirunalini Sivakumar) IUM's Masters in Finance batch of 2011's alumni, Ashkan Senobari is an Investment Banker at JP Morgan's M&A division in London. An inspiration to all those who aspire for great things without an Ivy League education, Ashkan is the perfect example of grit, intelligence and perseverance. Often laden with 130-hour work weeks, he occasionally gets lucky on weekends when allowed to report to work by 10AM as opposed to 6AM on weekdays. A very friendly personality, he described to us what a regular day in his life at the office looked like, his role, responsibilities, future endeavors and how he manages on such little sleep every night. We were lucky to have a chance for interaction with a person of such high caliber. (Reported by Harsh Srivastava)
The Experience with Fashion For Floors: deconstruct to construct
Last October, the Director of Development of Fashion for Floor (www.fashionforfloors.com), visited IUM to present the company and to assign a specific task to all Master in Luxury Business students (Hospitality & Event Management, Retail Management, Goods & Services). Students had to develop a marketing idea and a communication plan to revitalize the image of the Red Carpet that Fashion for Floors had offered to Prince Albert and Princess Charlene on the occasion of their marriage. "Corporate Projects are one of the practical tools we like to use to support our students' learning process. It is the best way to let students experiment directly the challenges of working in teams and to prepare them for future corporate positions" said Ms. Annalisa Tarquini, Director of the Masters in Luxury Business. After three full months of intense work, the groups of students presented their projects in front of the client, as young consulting teams. "As program director I can proudly say that after only three months of classes all of them did an exceptional job. Each project had at least one good and innovative idea." At the beginning of April the owner, M. Kamyar Moghadam, and the Director of Development, Mme Sophie Girone Coron, came back to school to announce which group had the best idea. ...and the winner is??? The "Deconstruct to Construct" project presented by group composed of five students attending the MSc in Goods & Services– was considered the most creative, innovative and feasible project. Maria, Yil, Stefanie, Sarah, and Sandra said: "Working on a real life project for Fashion for Floors was a great experience and allowed us to put all our theoretical knowledge into practice." To transform the red carpet that was created by Fashion for Floors was a big challenge. We concentrated on the most important task, which was to be able to sell the carpet in the end, in order to support the charity organisations of the Royal couple. Our idea was inspired by Fashion for Floor's unique artistic positioning and it was hence based on the idea of edgy, emerging artists deconstructing pieces of the carpet in order to reconstruct them into unique pieces of art. It was difficult to balance creativity and feasibility, but it was very rewarding to get positive feedback and recognition for our creativity from professionals. We are really proud that we were able to understand the uniqueness of the company. We are looking forward to be involved in the realization of the project." Congratulations ladies, well done!!! *** The objective of our MSc degree courses in luxury business is to educate highly skillful and well-cultured professionalsable to handle all the particularities of luxury management.

English Wines
In 1152, England acquired Bordeaux through the
marriage of Henry II to Eleanor of Aquitaine. With it began our fascination
with the international

industry. However, our interest overseas resulted in a rapid disappearance of
the vineyards that had scattered England since the Middle Ages. England
therefore can justifiably be considered a 'New World' producing nation as
modern viticulture began at Hambledon in Hampshire in the 1950's. Winemaking in
this country is at last being taken seriously; hobby vineyards ran out of money
fast and have been replaced by commercial projects with high levels of
technical knowledge. Global warming is also having its effect and the potential
of the UK as a quality producing nation improves by the year.
sparkling wines get close to emulating Champagne due to a vein of the same
chalk soil which runs under the channel and into Sussex and Kent and an average
annual temperature difference of less than 1°C. In the South West, Germanic
hybrids continue to dominate the still wines and produce delicious aromatic

Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright notes of green apple and citrus oil seem to pop from the glass. Nice minerality and acidity lead to a lingering creamy finish. From shellfish to grilled chicken or just as a great sipper before dinner, drink now and for the next 5 years.

The vineyard is situated above the grand crus of Puligny Montrachet and adjacent to the Puligny Montrachet Champgains. A fine and subtle white wine that can..

Cellar/Tasting Notes From an extraordinary California vineyard, the Talbott Sleepy Hollow deftly combines ripe, core fruit flavors with sweet oak nuances; lasts long and lustfully on the palate and into the finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is firm in acidity, bracing in minerals and bone dry. That makes it sound austere, but youll find delicious apricot, lime and citron flavors, enhanced by sweet oak. Drink now."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 St. Aubin is gorgeous. Smoke, slate and spices frame an expressive core of yellow stone fruits. This is another textured, open 2010 from Jadot. Seemingly endless layers of fruit stain the palate as the wine opens up in the glass. Rich, textured and creamy, the 2010 can be enjoyed today or..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The Santenay Clos de Malte Blanc is a rich and structured wine. It is elegant and fresh, giving off fruity aromas as well as lemon-scents and subtle hints of wood.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Light, bright gold. Perfumed, mineral-accented scents of fresh pear, citrus fruits, iodine and smoky minerals. Dry and taut on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering powerful orchard fruit flavors with suggestions of honeysuckle and chamomile. Closes with very good energy and cut,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Great Value! The 2009 Mersault has aromas of exotic fruits and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, the aromas are enhanced by notes of honey. It is a powerful wine with very nice length. Always a favorite at Morrell for its quality/price ratio.

Thanks, Joe and John Thank you Representatives Ward and Radinovich! As a gay individual who grew up in the Brainerd lakes area, I know that your votes in favor of marriage equality were long-thought, and not easily made.
We have been told over and over, it will not affect our freedom of religion – if this was true, why would they put a provision in the bill to protect pastors? Why would they need to be protected? From who do they need to be protected? And what about me as a Sunday school teacher? Who will protect...
Marriage equality This week the Minnesota legislature voted to pass marriage equality. I thank all the representatives that voted in support. Special thanks to John Ward and Joe Radinovich for their yes votes.

From Page 6A Next generation My name was Carol Johnson. Eventually, I fell in love with Bill Campbell and married him. I then became Mrs. Carol Campbell. We received Christmas cards, addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Bill Campbell.
Ignorant opinions The opinions about homosexuality, marriage and faith in the Thursday paper, should be proof enough of an unwillingness to understand others and accept differences.
From Page 6A Re-elect John, Joe I am very grateful to John Ward and Joe Radinovich for voting their conscience in the marriage equality act.
Does anyone remember Barack Obama's great promise of the campaign of 2012? He did not make a promise to America nor to Americans. He did not make a promise to fellow politicians. Unlike so many of his promises, he is keeping this one.
I am proud and honored to have Joe Radinovich be my state representative.

Each year, asthma attacks send tens of thousands of California children to the emergency room. Some of the patients face such severe and enduring symptoms that they are admitted to the hospital for days.
Exposure to pollution long has been a concern for families across the Bay Area, from the waterfront industries in Oakland and Pittsburg to the oil refineries in Benicia and Martinez to the clogged freeways that traverse the South Bay and Peninsula.
In Alameda County, the asthma hospitalization rate -- 20.3 stays for every 10,000 children -- is nearly twice the state average and the third-highest in California, next to rates in Imperial and Fresno counties. Some Oakland neighborhoods sent children to the
hospital two or three times as often as that.What is being done to address this serious health problem?
To find out, The Oakland Tribune will hold a public forum entitled "Asthma -- The Battle To Breathe," March 20, 6-8 p.m. at the California State University East Bay's Oakland Center, 1000 Broadway, Suite 109.
The event is free and open to the public. Space is limited.
Joining the discussion on March 20 will be Joel Ervice, Regional Asthma Management and Prevention associate director, Brenda Rueda-Yamashita, chronic disease program director for the Alameda County Public Health Department, and Prescott-Joseph Center Executive Director Dr. Washington Burns.
Also on the panel will be McClymonds High School
Tapia will be joined by student journalist Pearl Joy Balagot, who will talk about what she discovered when researching how the Oakland Unified School District manages field trip protocols for students with asthma.
Moderating the discussions will be Murphy and Martin G. Reynolds, Bay Area News Group senior editor for community engagement.
For more information, contact Reynolds at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 510-208-6433.

About breaking
Breaking (kyuko) is used as a way for martial art students to measures the precision and power of their hand strikes and kicks.
Most rank testing requires patterns, self-defense, sparring, and breaking. Because offensive techniques may be fatal, students are not able to use full power when practicing against an opponent. By breaking solid objects, such as boards and bricks, they may measure their accuracy, concentration of power, and strength of will. Breaking is not taught to beginners, only to color belts and black belts.
If asked about breaking, most people think about spectacular martial art demonstrations. However, this is only a superficial understanding of breaking. The purpose of breaking is to build confidence in students by letting them test their power and see immediate results. Breaking requires executing techniques with precision and power.
Demonstrating breaking in front of a crowd may boost the ego but the real benefit of breaking comes from the confidence it gives the breaker. To build this confidence, the breaking does not need spectators.
Anyone may break one board with brute strength, but strength alone begins to fail as the number of boards increases. Only concentrated power and precise techniques will prevail when breaking more than one board. Advanced breaking techniques are not measured by the number of boards broke, but instead by the difficulty of the technique itself. To break more than one board requires training and study of the wood itself, such as its composition, hardness, how the grain of the board is positioned, and the curvature of the board. To break consistently and with thicker mediums, you must learn to snap your body mass into the technique. For instance, if you only use your arm to punch, its power will be limited by its mass and the strength in its muscles. If you use body snap, you add the mass of the body to the power of the punch.
To train to break boards, the breaking surfaces, such as hands, feet, and elbows, should be conditioned by striking a padded board (forging post, tollyon-chu in Korean, makiwara in Japanese) to build callous, bone and joint strength, and pain tolerance. Practicing hyungs builds the timing, balance, breathing, focus, and strength needed for board breaking. Sparring also develops breathing, muscle contraction, timing, and focus. Along with the training proper nutrition is also important. Breaking is the culmination of everything you have learned in taekwondo training.
Board breaking requires proper training and technique, but it more of a exercise in mental preparedness. You must overcome your fear and apprehension and break a board or boards with your little fragile hand. Remember that thousands of students just like you have broken boards with no injury, so it must not be as dangerous as it first appears. To break a board, you must mentally prepare yourself to hit the board with full speed and power with no regard to possible injury. Only then will you accomplish the break. Remember, it only hunts when the board does not break. I have never seen a student injured during rank testing breaking, but I have seen many students not complete their breaks because of a fear of injury.

Paintballers sprint, strafe, and army-crawl across Birch Hill Paintball's battlefields, seeking refuge behind overturned barrels or inflated edifices as they seek out opponents. The venue features four distinct battlegrounds, letting players outflank adversaries in an urban setting, skulk stealthily through a sandy junkyard, or obscure themselves behind the trees, fences, and elephantine ant hills of a wooded battlefield. Players without their own paintball guns and other munitions can rent all necessary gear directly from Birch Hill, which hosts simulated warfare on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
A former art teach of 30 years, owner Patti Spinelli welcomes students of all ages into her studio to superimpose colorful imagery upon three-dimensional figurines and placards.

The studio's lively instructors roam the workspace doling out encouraging words and helpful techniques. Patti also hosts intimate art classes, opens her studio to group parties, and stocks traditional canvases for those who prefer rendering still lifes or globes from a time when the Earth was flat.
