The trio Peter, Paul and Mary played in some of the same folk clubs as the fictional singer in the new Coen brothers' movie 'Inside Llewyn Davis.'
- Filed Under
Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen's latest movie, "Inside Llewyn Davis," followed an irritating, alienated singer around the smoke-filled folk clubs of Greenwich Village for one week in the winter of 1961.
Peter Yarrow, 75, knows the territory around Bleecker Street and the West Village very well because he joined the folk-singing trio Peter, Paul and Mary in 1961 and played those same stages as the fictional Llewyn Davis.
"I'm a big fan of the Coen brothers' films but his had nothing to do with the situation with Greenwich village at that time," Yarrow said during a phone interview from New York ...

Kohl's same-store sales down; firm lowers earnings guidance
Kohl's Corp. on Thursday lowered its fourth-quarter earnings guidance as the company reported decreased same-store sales and higher-than-expected costs.
The Menomonee Falls-based department store and online retailer said it now expects to earn $1.53 a share in the fourth quarter, which ended Jan. 14. Previously, the company had forecast per-share earnings of $1.59 to $1.74. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Meijer moves to boost its fashion business
Meijer, the Michigan-based retailer that is preparing to enter Wisconsin, has expanded the fashion portion of its one-stop shopping business model and says in a statement that it intends to "challenge national retailers in the fashion space," according to a statement the company issued this week.
"We want our customers to know that we are serious about offering the most up-to-date fashion in our stores," Lynn Hempe, group vice president of softlines at Meijer, said in the statement. "Our goal is to find that just-right mix where affordability and on-trend fashion inspire our customers to recognize opportunities to update their day-to-day style."
Meijer said that as part of its fashion expansion, it will launch regional advertising in national fashion magazines, including Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle, Cosmopolitan and Elle. Meijer has also launched a fashion website, meijerstyle.com and social media as part of the iniative. »Read Full Blog Post
Kohl's gives $1.5 million for schools' field trips
Kohl's Corp. on Tuesday pledged $1.5 million to provide field trips for southeastern Wisconsin schools to places such as the Milwaukee County Zoo, Discovery World and Milwaukee Art Museum.
It is the second year the Menomonee Falls-based retailer has supported field trips through its Kohl's Cares program. Last year, Kohl's donated $750,000.
The company will give grants of up to $1,000 each to schools on a first-come, first-served basis Feb. 28 through May 2, or until the money has been exhausted. The grants will cover expense such as admissions, transportation, materials and substitute teacher fees. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Kohl's same-store sales down for quarter
Kohl's Corp. saw comparable-store sales slide in the fourth quarter, but the Memononee Falls-based retailer beat Wall Street's reduced earnings estimates.
Sales at stores open at least a year fell 2% for the three months ended Feb. 1, Kohl's said Thursday. The department store operator posted same-store increases for the critical months of November and December, but traffic fell in January, and the company experienced unexpected expenses in its e-commerce business.
Kohl's earned $334 million for the quarter on $6.1 billion in sales. A year ago, the company earned $378 million on $6.3 billion in sales. Last year's fourth quarter included an extra week.
Per-share earnings for the most recent quarter totaled $1.56. Earlier this month, Kohl's lowered its earnings forecast to $1.53 a share, from the previously expected $1.59 to $1.74 a share. (2)

Good luck Yara/Asha... Your gonna need it
Will all these cool things be included in the 1.0 release or there will be another patch?
He has already made clear that 1.0 will be the next update. Nothing in between now and 1.0.
But he hasn't made it clear that these new things being shown will be in that update, or will come after.
Since they seem to be finished with the scene and the update hasn't been released yet... why would he leave it out? I would say that this will be in 1.0
Yes, I'm pretty certain everything you see up untill 1.0 comes out will be in the update
Absolutely stunning! I just love all of the new scenes for this mod!

Walla Walla County commissioners made a solid decision last week in continuing the freeze on elected official salaries.
The economy in the Valley is simply too unpredictable to grant significant raises for elected officials at this time.
However, commissioners left the door ajar so the issue could be revisited next year. This, too, is a smart move.
It was also a prudent political consideration for commissioners to make it clear they would not raise their salaries before 2016. By law, commissioners cannot accept a raise in pay until they stand for election. So if commissioners at some point raise the pay for themselves it could not take effect until after the 2016 election.
The pinch of the Great Recession still stings in this Valley just like the rest of America.
Specifically, the salaries of many employees have been frozen for three or more years. It's happening to folks who work for government and in the private sector.
When the nation's economy went in the tank, employers saw a major decline in revenue in the private sector and tax collections in the public sector. To avoid layoffs or reduce the number of layoffs, salaries were frozen and, in some cases, benefits were reduced.
Yet, the costs of goods and services continue to go up.
It's made it tougher to make ends meet. It's frustrating.
So it's reasonable for Walla Walla County's elected officials to want a pay raise after having their salaries frozen. They put in long hours and have a lot of responsibility. They -- like all county employees -- should be fairly compensated for their work.
Last week the three Walla Walla County commissioners considered and rejected a recommendation to lift the pay freeze that now extends through 2014 from elected county officials such as auditor and treasurer pay and increase the salaries 7 percent in 2015 and 3.5 percent in 2016. The recommendation was essentially based on future pay raises for unionized county employees.
Commissioners should be commended for continuing to take a conservative approach to budgeting.
Yes, keeping the pay freeze on for elected officials is mostly symbolic, but it is relevant because county employees have been asked to sacrifice economically in recent years. Before commissioners grant raises to other elected county officials, they must feel secure the county will have the money to fund raises into the future.
If the economy does rebound, which is what many experts are predicting, the commissioners should give serious consideration to raising the pay of the other elected officials and themselves, although we aren't ready to endorse a 7 percent hike. Nevertheless, it is important to recognize and reward their service to the public.

Moorpark finds it won't be easy to replace Tuimoloau
Head football coach Jim Bittner has coached every position on the field during his three decades at Moorpark College, yet it is with a twinge of regret that Bittner took over the defensive line coaching duties this season.
Junior Tuimoloau, an inspiring figure who coached the defensive line for the past 10 years, moved his family north to Seattle during the offseason.
"We miss him," said Bittner. "He was a great spiritual leader for us."
On top of his contributions to the team, Tuimoloau also produced two daughters, Alofa and Chenne, who rank among the school's top women's basketball players.
Staffing Seraphs: First-year Ventura College head football coach Jon Mack may be new to community college, but his staff certainly isn't new to him.
Of Mack's nine assistants, only defensive coordinator Gary Anglin, new defensive line coach Sean Loring and new tight ends coach Jason Bendinelli lack previous experience with Mack.
Three returning coaches, offensive coordinator Tim Gutierrez, special teams coordinator Tom Lawrence and recruiting coordinator Ted Lawrence, previously worked at St. Bonaventure High.
Three new coaches, running backs coach Mike Evans, receivers coach Josh Janca, and offensive line coach Dan Lyon, moved down Telegraph Road after years alongside Mack at St. Bonaventure.
Mack has bonded with Anglin, the dean of the Pirates' program, by swapping stories of common compatriots like Gutierrez and the Lawrence brothers.
"He's great," said Mack of Anglin. "He's a 30-year veteran of Ventura College and a great guy to work with."
Hiring line: First-year Oxnard College men's basketball coach Jeff Theiler has found his assistant coach in Jason Cunningham, whose community college experience includes two-year stints at Feather River and Cypress colleges.
"One of the key elements in hiring an assistant coach is trust and communication," said Theiler. "I have that with Jason. We speak the same language, so to speak."
That's because the pair have been on speaking terms since Theiler coached Cunningham as a teenager in a Santa Barbara summer camp nearly 16 years ago. Cunningham developed into a 6-foot-5 guard who played at UNLV for Bill Bayno, now a Portland Trail Blazers assistant coach.
"He's passionate, has aspirations of moving on and that's the kind of guy I want to be around," said Theiler.
Fall season is here: With the first day of classes approaching Monday, the fall season has begun. Preseason practice for all sports is under way.

"Great apartment in Buenos Aires"
Short version of the review: I highly recommend this studio for a single traveler, two friends, or a couple (the bed is configurable between two separate twin beds or one combined bed). Eugenia is extremely helpful as a huge bonus. Go ahead and make the booking, you won't regret it. The rest of this review is somewhat long but I feel necessary to do justice to how much Eugenia helped us. My wife and I arranged for "taxi Eugenia" to pick us up at the airport for a very reasonable fee. It was great to be greeted at the airport after a long trip from Toronto. Her mom was also there and is a funny and interesting person. It was great to immediately get to talk to a couple of Buenos Aires natives. We also got a short driving tour of the key nearby landmarks on the way to the apartment. The apartment is true to the posted photos and was absolutely spotless. It is a charming modern place with a nice understated style that Eugenia actually renovated herself. The air conditioner worked perfectly even on the hottest day we were there when the outside temperature went up to 102F (39C). The apartment was our refuge from the blazing heat. Eugenia makes available at the apartment a universal AC power adapter and also provides you with a cell phone with her contact numbers in case you need to contact her (for example, she told us to call her if we needed help ordering a taxi). We didn't need to use the phone, so I emailed her and she was very responsive in answering my questions. Fast WiFi Internet is available at the studio and my wife and I had no problems connecting with an iPad and Android tablet. Upon arrival at the apartment, Eugenia helped us confirm our tango show reservations (I don't know Spanish, so I had exchanged some confusing emails with the tango place using Google translate). She also helped us call a whole bunch of closed-door restaurants (puertas cerradas, a recent development in Buenos Aires) and even made more calls on our behalf later that evening. Sadly, I left it too late and the places were all booked due to the fact we were there after Christmas and before New Year's Eve, a high time for eating out apparently. If you are interested in a closed-door restaurant, I suggest you do your research early and consider booking in advance of arriving. A valuable service that Eugenia provided was assistance in navigating the exchange of US dollars at the so-called "blue" rate or street rate, which is the best rate for tourists. We brought enough US dollars with us to cover all our expenses. At the time of our travel in January 2014, the blue rate got us about 50% more pesos per US dollar than the official exchange rate (we got 10 pesos instead of 6.7 pesos per US dollar). Converting US dollars at the blue rate instead of the official rate saved us hundreds of US dollars and more than paid for our stay at the studio. The studio is centrally located, close to Obelisco and the Opera House, close to the subway (Subte) with nearby convenience and grocery stores. There are nice looking hotels around. The area felt safe and there are also police in the neighborhood, due to the number of banks and government buildings in the vicinity. I took it as a good sign that every police officer we saw was either casually chatting, smoking, texting, or looking extremely bored. My wife and I ate late evening dinners within walking distance of the studio, walking both to the restaurants and back after dark with no problems. As with any trip abroad, we used common sense, such as preferring the most well lit streets with the most people. Finally, we also took Eugenia up on an offer of a driving tour (offered based on my questions/requests, she is not pushy at all) on our last day. We usually like to walk cities and we did on the previous days, but we wanted to switch to a tour bus or car for our final day to see as many of places we hadn't seen which were not that close together. After reading the reviews of the Yellow Tourist Bus (a double decker open-top hop-on hop-off bus) on TripAdvisor we went with Eugenia for a price similar to two tickets without the risk of the bus not running or waiting for hours for a bus. We went to La Boca, Palermo Soho, Palermo Hollywood, and Belgrano. Eugenia's mother also came along and would give us an idea of what neighborhoods were like when she was young and how they had changed, which was really interesting. At the end of the day, we got dropped off at the airport and headed off to Mendoza. All I expect from a local booking is a place that is honest to the photos, clean, and a host who might give a bit of advice. Eugenia went so over and above these requirement that it added a welcome local touch to a visit of a beautiful city. She and her mom are wonderful people and it was a pleasure to get to know them during our stay.

TAKEN FROM www.mmaweekly.com: Sad news for fight fans across the world. Kickboxing Champion Alex Gong is dead after being shot in San Francisco. In a bizarre incident, Gong was shot and killed on Friday night. Gong had recently returned from Las Vegas as he had been helping Chuck Liddell train for his upcoming fight against Alistar Overeem. Liddell told MMAWeekly last night "It's a shock. I just talked to him yesterday on the phone. It's hard to believe he's gone. He's a really nice guy. It's hard to believe. I was just in Las Vegas with him a week ago training. " Investigators say there was a minor traffic accident as Gong's car was hit by a driver as the driver started to speed away. Alex apparently chased the suspect's car. Witnesses say that Gong confronted the suspect at 5th and Clara in San Francisco. "It appears that it was a traffic accident dispute," said Maria Oropeza of the San Francisco Police Department. "The victim chased the suspect, and upon contact, the suspect shot the victim." A witness named Jason said, "He tried to confront the guy. We heard one pop, and he fell to the ground." MMA fighter Duane "Bang" Ludwig fought Alex Gong for the World Muay Thai ISKA title on ESPN a couple of years back and Bang told MMAWeekly "He helped get muay thai bigger in the United States. He spent a lot of time promoting the sport, so it's a great loss to the sport." Alex Gong, a kickboxing champion, dead at the age of 34. MMAWeekly sends it's best to the family of Alex Gong. My condolences to all the family and friends of Alex Gong. I do not want this to sound disrespectful to Alex - becaue it is NOT. However, this tragic loss to the sportfighting community is also a learning opportunity for all those who train for reasons of "self defense" - it exemplifies that no matter how good of a fighter or teacher we become in the ring or on the mat there is still more to a STREET ALTERCATION!!! If Alex Gong - one of the BEST Muay Thai fighters in the world - can be murdered so quickly and easily in a street fight, what does that say for any of the rest of us? Muay Thai is commonly referred to on many of these forums as the "best" standup art to learn - but unfortunately, and as Tony Blauer has repeatedly stated for years, sport techniques alone are NOT ENOUGH in the REAL WORLD of self-defense. Your BRAIN is your most powerful weapon and the FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE - failing to use it - relying on "sport techniques" aone - can get you killed!! Applying even the most fundamental of the Personal Defense Readiness principles could have helped saved Alex's life FAR FARE MORE than all of that training he got in the ring. Rather than confronting the individual, it would have been more prudent to simply take down a license plate number and let Law Enforcement deal with it. It's not just HOW you fight - it's knowing WHEN or when NOT to fight!! Food for thought for all those who still believe that "Technique" is "king" or who ask the question "if someone trained in this art/system/style/method, would that help them in a street fight?" Alex Gong was a tremendously talented SPORT fighter...... but that failed to save him against one quick pull of a trigger when he SOUGHT OUT confrontation. That one mistake turned out to be fatal in this case......
and a very, very tragic example to have to relay to our students of what NOT to do. I for one will be relaying this "fight" account to all those I know that still don't "understand" that the difference between street and sport is all in the "scenario," in hopes that perhaps just ONE person will see the "light" and realize the true difference between a sport fight and a street fight in the future. May Alex Gong rest in peace. His death is sure to be felt by many. Adam LaClair

I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment as I had the pleasure of meeting Alex a little over a year ago. He was a real gentleman with a real passion for life and the martial arts.
My sincere condolences to the Gong family and his extended family and friends at Fairtex.

The purpose of this forum is to study personal defense
readiness, both its essence and the system I teach. Alex's
death is obviously a tragedy and its in some ways distasteful
to armchair quarter back events like this, but as with the
infamous 'hockey beating death' and other real world events,
invariably, people will wonder whcih style wouldve helped
Perhaps Bruce Lee, in the famous 'boat' scene from ENTER
THE DRAGON understood it
best..."That island, we can take this boat..." In other words,
deep breath, count, avoid.
In one of our law enforcement articles I wrote awile back
something that
often slips by on the first read: "Real self-defense are only
those fights that you cannot avoid."
Cannot avoid. In other words, the bagguy brings the fight to
Alex's death really sucks. But its a sobering pathetic
message about the sport vs. street debate.
Messge: "Dont bring boxing gloves to a gun fight" ??
On a side note, when Bruce Lee died, I wanted it to be a
murder...as a 13 year old, I couldnt grasp how the most
deadly man in the world could just pass away...so I found all
the conspiracy theory supportive. Alex, like Bruce, was also
deadly, and taken too soon, so I wonder if it was a set
up...stanger hits his car in front of his school...Alex chases,
the guy waits at a light...weird accident...wouldn't surprise me
if when they catch the guy theres more to it. Hope so...it
doesn't get Alex back but it adds some sense to the
senselessness of it all.
Stay safe and stay away from open windows.
*Incidently in one of the witness acounts there was a
description that described the startle/flinch
response...reminder to muscle-memory buffs: our survival
system overides our cognitve training during sudden surprise
attacks, no matter how skilled we are. Its not a concept its a
physiological rule.

A tragic loss. How many of us have confronted someone?
"Hey, I was waiting for that space."
"Excuse me, I think I was next."
"Would you keep it down. We are trying to watch the movie."
"*HONK* Jackass! Learn how to drive!"
"Well if you hadn't been driving so damn fast, maybe you wouldn't have rear ended us."
"Hey dude, you hit my car back there. Where the hell do you think you are going?"
How many times have we all faced a similar situation?

Although I completely agree with the 'street vs. sport' arguement made in this thread, I don't agree of the judgement made on Gong's death as being a 'sport' fighter killed due to his 'sport training'. That comes across like facts manipulated to serve your points. I know Adam wrote that it wasn't meant to be disrespectful but it is. It is sad that such an unfortunate incident is used to further an age old debate. This incident proves nothing.
This is from another thread from someone who knew Gong.

WEAK...I can tell you that Alex was the kind of guy that stridently AVOIDED street fights and confrontations.
I can tell you he was within the last six months or so involved in an altercation which every witness said he did his best to avoid, and only got physical when his girlfriend was threatened. Afterwards it was asked it was kept on the downlow as he really felt bad about it.
To imply that Alex was any kind of hothead or was the type to look for trouble is absolutely ludicrus.
So to imply he was killed simply because he didn't train with Tony Blauer or study PDR SPEAR is not only wrong but disrespectful to him and those who knew him. Using a tragedy to further an agenda is classless. Sorry but I had to voice my opinion.

I agree with Poignant. And I would also like to add that the kind of life where you constantly allow yourself to be stepped on because you're afraid that if you stand up for yourself you'll be gunned down is not a life worth living. People will say that chasing down a guy who ran into your car isn't worth your life....I would argue that having enough self respect so that you don't shy away from every confrontation under the rationalization of prudence is very much worth your life.
RIP for Alex Gong

I don't think Adam was implying that Alex shouldve trained
with me or that he tried a sport tactic...
I reread Adam's post and I didnt find his contentions self-
serving. Give it a reread.
There's more to the dynamic than meets the eye...
Emotional Climate Principle: How do you feel?
If you were meditating and someone hit your car would you
'feel' like chasing them?
If you were sparring and someone hit your car would you be
more apt to chase them?
What I read from Adam's post was angst, frustration and
education possiblities. Choosing to chase a car wearing
shorts & boxing gloves was not tactically sound, irrespective
of the result we all now
Which brings me to Saxon's message: YES, I agree, "A life
worth living..."but there's perspective here...in fact there are
laws and parameters for these type of things. Someone hits
your car, you call the insurance company. If you can you call
the police.
I dont want run off on an tangent here, but this is the point of
PERSONAL DEFENSE READINESS education...it must
(should) include scenario training that includes legal & moral
strategies that surround personal defense decisions.
This next point not to be misconstrued!
Lets say a great fighter chases down a guy who hit his car
and beats him up a bit...would that be cool? Would that
make news in the Undergorund? You bet. Would it be legal?
Nope. Would be there be a point?
Alex was no coward, in fact he was a warrior, but all warriors
must learn to fight the good fight. All Adam was saying was
he couldve memorized the license plate as an option and for
those of us who take our student's safety seriously, we need
to read between the lines and learn from all encounters.
In the end, this was a post about stratgeies, not tacitcs, it was
not about 1/2 SPEAR or jab vs. 9mm. 'Weigh & consider' prior
to reacting...that goes for reading and fighting.

I think the reason why Alex chased the shooter down is based more on the influences of todays society rather than the type of training he's done.
Its not hard for those of us living in large cities to be frustrated at the constant barrage of thugs, perverts, thieves, and human scum that seem to roam free and do what they want. And any of us can relate to a sense of helplessness when dealing with unscrupulous insurance companies, lawyers, big business cheats, and rising costs.
About the time you get a few bucks ahead something or someone comes along and snatches it. Back to square one. Don't get me wrong. I don't view all of life as being so bleak, but bad things exist and it pressures all of us.
I'd like to think that Alex was himself feeling fed up with all the crap and felt he should try to handle what he could. That was his motivation. One lesson I can reinforce in myself is that of 'there is no possession on earth worth your life.' If only he had contemplated that more himself. Who knows?
In the end, perhaps what could be said about what he did is not to categorize it as good or bad, this training or that, but as an unfortunate act of reality. He was a warrior. He died acting as one. And in that there is honor....the only thing a man can take with him.

POignant, I delted your post as you can see, youve posted
twice about agendas...rather than trying to see our point you
feel the need to sell your point. For some reason youve
completely misinterpreted the message here. YOu choose to
focus on the negative, in your last post you alluded to some
commercial conspiracy here (do you have an agenda?) - I
found your posts fixating and derogatory and whether you
see it or not youve completely misinterpreted my posts...
If the forum isnt to your liking, go elsewhere.
PLease dont post some defiant rebuttal. This thread isnt
about Alex, its about the lesson. If I could bring Alex back I
would, we knew one another through mutual aquantances,
our businesses had interaction, if I could cath the guy who
did this I would and if I had a time machine I'd do someting
with it.

self-respect......a term that is often applied to situations where other terms would be a more accurate description.
Having enough self-respect that you do not feel the need to engage AND escalate every confrontation WITHOUT the rationalization of prudence is very much worth my/your life.
I guess it comes down to what you are willing to fight for, rather than what you are fighting against.
I have a wife and two young boys....their life, safety, and well being are paramount. Self-respect is an internal emotion, you should not need to fight for it, or because of it. It will take a bad situation and make it worse....

Yesterday I sat in traffic trying to cross the mouth of the Holland tunnel in NYC. All traffic was at a standstill. The temperature was high and tempers were flaring. Someone aggresively edged their car in front of me in a way that completely blocked traffic in three directions and was in total violation of common sense and traffic laws. We were all trapped in relative "close quarters", furious, hot and frustrated. There was a lot of arm waving and shouting of not very "choice speech". Had I not been reading this thread over the past few days I might well have engaged in this confrontation, presuming that there is safety in public spaces and broad daylight. I would not have had the words of FJJ828 in my head "how many times have we all faced a similar situation?" I would not have had the tragic and senseless death of warrior in the front of my mind. I strategically disengaged from the situation by simply turning around to face my children in the back seat,and elected to use the emotion of the moment to tell them the story of Alex Gong. They had never heard of him, but I know they'll never forget him now, and neither will I. I thank this forum for altering our awareness forever.

Self respect in my mind is not being someone who is always looking to pick a fight. I respect putting the safety of your family above everything else. Perhaps it is a matter of where you draw the line and we simply differ on that. Although I think Tony and others have made good points on this thread, I stand by my assertion that having that strength of character is worth risking tragedy. And I have no doubt that Alex Gong's family are proud of who he was and wouldn't have changed him.

Im not disputing 'strength of character' Im relaying practical
observations...one could easily argue that character, in the
virtue sense, contains
'conscience and accountability'. One of my favorite quotes
on the subject is:
"Character is who you are when no one is looking."
Like Ive wirtten a few times already, this thread is about this
from 'philw':
"I would not have had the words of FJJ828 in my head "how
many times have we all faced a similar situation?" I would not
have had the tragic and senseless death of warrior in the

Mr Alex Gong's death was a tragedy. No doubt. This forum is one of which "shares experiences" and trouble shoots the ambush moment in the fight continuum, dissects it and hopefully we learn and become a bit wiser. As coaches and teachers we should not judge.
Alex was most likely ambushed. Lets learn from it. His "experience" has already had an impact on some people who have posted here and those people have already educated themselves and their children. I appreciate this forum that Tony Blauer has put together as one that strictly adheres to its rules and regulations and doesnt allow itself to get caught in any of the shortcomings that other sections of the UG tends to stray towards at times.
May Alex rest in peace. We should learn from "his choice". Without being armchair quarterbacks understand that the outcome could have been different given his response. Given another chance and knowing the outcome, would he have made the same choice?? Who is to say. But what is, is what is. Respect the death of a family man, appreciate his life and what he did for many.

Poignant, Tony was right - my post WAS and IS about my emotional response to what happened, and about taking a REAL WORLD situation - however tragic - and creating a "positive" element to it by turning it into an opportunity to educate students.
If you knew me at all (rather than making opinionated assumptions), you would know that the "sport vs. street" debate is one that I find ridiculous. I was not saying you should not train for sport, which seems to be your interpretation of my post (point of fact, I myself train and coach for sport grappling/BJJ, Karate, and MMA). Some people argue that it has to be one OR the other..... I support BOTH. I firmly believe that sport training can teach invaluable skills which CAN be utilized in a self-defense situation....... but only if the situation ALLOWS it. (Blauer Maxim: "The Scenario dictates our actions.") There are times that sport training might be enough to physically survive an altercation, but there are also other times that sport training alone is not enough. In this instance, I was making a point that even the BEST sport fighters can fall prey to a predator. Therefore, there is more that needs to be addressed.
My ONLY agenda is to keep myself, my family and friends, and my students SAFE, HAPPY, and ALIVE!! If I can share a thought that might help protect another human being from falling prey to a human predator, than I see nothing wrong with doing so. I have no other agendas, I hate politics (especially in the martial arts), and I certainly was not trying to convince anybody that Alex should have trained with Tony Blauer in the PDR system.
When I wrote this, I even had two particular students of my own in mind that needed to hear this message. As young, strong, talented athletes they seem to think they are "invincible" and are sometimes mouthy, brash, and provocative. They lack consideration for the extreme measures that another human being might be willing to go when feeling threatened or wronged, in something that may even seem as "simple" as a verbal dispute. This causes me concern, and I found this unfornuate incident to be a good example to use with them.
I wanted to share my thoughts here, as well, with those who either train with Tony as I do, or are interested in Tony's research. My intention in stating earlier that fundamental principles of the Personal Defense Readiness curriculum might have saved Alex's life was not an attempt to "enlist" people into a PDR session, but rather an AFFIRMATION to the system's integrity, and that it is "common sense" that is usually UNCOMMON that tends to hold up in hindsight. FJJ828 wrote: "How many of us have confronted someone?.....How many of us have faced a similar situation?"
I for one, have "been there, done that" more than I care to admit. It is easy to see that we often put ourselves un-necessarily into harm's way with our emotional responses to events around us. By using our heads a little, we can often circumvent the danger and increase the "readiness" of our "personal defense." That is what the system is all about. That is what we need to keep in mind should any of us find ourselves in a situation like Alex's - which WILL and HAS happened to each of us at some point in time (just hopefully without the fatal gunshot).

By posting my thread on this forum, I am speaking primarily to those who are already at least somewhat familiar with Tony Blauer's system - many of who have already spent much time in training with him. Had I truly had some kind of conspiratory "agenda," you would have seen my post on every other Q&A, the Underground, the Otherground, other forum sites throughout the internet, etc. in an effort to spread my message as far as possible. I DID NOT do that; I posted here, with a comment that was relevant to what this forum's purpose is - to discuss the application of Tony's research. I deemed that if ONE PERSON should read my post, apply it to a future situation for themselves, or pass it on to a student, resulting in even just ONE PERSON making a choice to "look" before "leaping," than my post would have value.

While this thread truly contains valuable information and some very good posts, maybe we could all take a break to think about what happened, to wait for all the facts to come in.
The difference between this and the "hockey dad" incident is that the hockey dad didn't have hundreds of friends on the forum. So out of respect maybe at least wait until after Alex's funeral before further discussing the finer points of his death.

My apologies for getting carried away. I just got sensitive over a death because someone I know who was close passed away untimely. Didn't mean to come across so hard and I have no agenda. This is an exellent thread and does make many valuable points.

An update...The suspect sought by police ventilated his own cranium. The short of it: stolen car, stolen plates, wanted parolee, broke through the wall to the next motel room, hid under the bed, and did himself.
What a guy......
The link is below if interested, Brad

A similar story I wanted to share.
Today at work, our secretary came in my office with tears in her eye. I asked her what was going on.
She said, her good friend (both are 20 years old) went down a one way by accident.
Some guy driving the right of way got upset and started insulting her friend. He said some things back, so the driver of the other car shot him in the chest.
He is listed in critical condition and may not make it.
FWIW, this happened in New Bedford, which is one of the highest violent crimes (and AIDS) per capita cities in the US.
Heaven forbid you go up a one way by accident.
Where has humanity gone?

Sadly enough, he has passed away. Too young and for no reason.
Be careful about other drivers and arguing. It may cost you your life.

Hmmmm. The plot thickens.
Plastered all over the front page of the newspapers:
The Police Chief has been fired by the Mayor, because of too many murders this year. 9 already.

That 1 Guy ($15)
With an extensive and amazing track record of unique and imaginative performances featuringhis curious instrument and copious amounts of originality, Mike Silverman aka That1Guy has set himself apart as a true one-of-a-kind talent that rivals any other artist currently in the entertainment industry. Averaging 150-200 shows a year all over North America and Canada, he has been a consistent favorite at such festivals as: Wakarusa, Electric Forest, Big Day out, All Good, Bella, High Sierra, Summer Meltdown, Montreal Jazz Festival, and many more. He was also the ʻTap Water Award' winner at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for best musical act. His legendary collaboration and multiple tours with Buckethead as The Frankenstein Brothers has further cemented his virtuoso story as a creative visionary as well. His innovation continues to soar with the announcement of another tour kicking off in January 2015. Along with his pioneering main instrument, The Magic Pipe, a monstrosity of metal, strings, and electronics, facilitates the dynamic live creation of music and magic in ways only That1Guy can conjure, expect to see magic as well now integrated into the already clever performance. With this addition of incorporating magic seamlessly into his live shows, he has legitimately achieved an all inclusive audio/visual performance unlike anything experienced before. "So much of my music has miraculous qualities to it because it's hard to tell what's going on. There are lots of slights of hand and sonic misdirection. It feels like I was meant to do magic". Silverman's backstory is very similar to many musicians that have come before him. He grew up a self proclaimed music geek, soaked in the influence of his jazz musician father, and enrolled in San Francisco Conservatory of Music before joining the local jazz scene himself as a sought-after percussive bassist. This is where the similarities end, though, and where That1Guy truly began. "In my case, being a bass player, I just felt very restricted by the instrument itself," he says. "I've always wanted to sound different and have my own sound. I was headed that way on the bass, but for me to fully realize what I was hearing in my head sonically I was going to have to do it my way". His influential and innovative double bass style eventually evolved into what we see today as That1Guy and ʻThe Magic Pipe'. As his story continues to develop, Billboard has famously noted, "In the case of Mike Silverman's slamming, futuristic funk act… the normal rules of biology just don't apply."

There is absolutely no reason to treat these law abiding citizens as second class citizens in places of business.
I think you're perhaps missing part of my point.
I agree entirely that there are downsides to allowing business owners to make such distinctions. The point about black Americans is very valid.
But my point was that your dismissing a certain notion of harm, as perceived by religious persons. They consider themselves to be held accountable to God for their choices.
You're correctly arguing that gay people suffer a certain kind of harm by a business refusing to do a certain kind of business on their behalf. I'm saying that you're dismissing the harm done to religious persons by demanding them to violate their consciences and/or their obedience to God (on their view).
Hmmm. Which part of the bible would serving a gay person violate? The part that says love your neighbor as yourself, love the sinner but hate the sin, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, or the judge not lest you be judged part?
Damn your response was much better than mine.
Tolerance goes both ways.
In no way should a Christian business owner be forced to do something that violates his conscience. Ditto the homosexual business owner. Civil rights in no way trump religious rights an vice versa. If someone is a homosexual and they are refused a cake for their "wedding", they should just find a homosexual baker or someone willing to bake for them. Same goes for any business.
I'm personally intolerant of homosexuality. I don't dislike the individual homosexuals, but I will NEVER affirm their way of life -- and such will never be required of me. I'm actually a middle of the road guy politically, but I am a Christian -- and God's Word on the issue is firm. Love the sinner, hate the sin. And yes, I, too, am a sinner, but I'm not making the life choice for something that God has called an abomination in His eyes. I would welcome a homosexual into my church congregation with the understanding that he is there not for judgment, but healing. The church, properly run, is a hospital for sinners's souls, not a courtroom, but God will not be mocked. Just like homosexuals, I need to daily repent of my sins and ask God for His forgiveness -- and to exercise faith and obedience. God wants two things: faith and obedience. Obey God's Word == eternal life. Disobey, homosexual or heterosexual == eternal damnation.
I hate to break it to you, but you are not middle of the road, you are rather far to the right there. Middle of the road people are fine with sexual equality, gay marriage and the right of the public not to be discriminated at by a business. You're post gave me chills, creepiest thing I've read so far. "God will not be mocked." Hebdo much?
Jesus may have said nothing, but the old testament has a pretty clear lesson on it:
I personally have very little issue with homosexuals. I have a serious problem with gay marriage, as marriage is a religious ceremony, so the state should stay out of it. Civil union is the state sponsored joining, and should be the proper avenue for the state to allow something that religion indicates is wrong. If someone feels that a homosexual couple should share in the benefits a heterosexual relationship enjoys, they should move for equal benefits for the two, not move to change the definition of marriage. However, it has to be understood that most of the benefits of marriage have to do with holding a family together for the benefit of the children, which a homosexual marriage may have some issues in creating.
Marriage is not a religious ceremony, it is cultural manifestation of a concept that predates all modern and known archaic religions. Religion did not invent marriage, but it capitalized on it and possibly institutionalized it, and even then marriage existed as a concept thousands of years prior to Judeo-Christian thought, shocking as that may be to you. If your argument were in the least bit sensible then we should have no government endorsement of marriages, and I as an atheist should not have been allowed to get married (and we used a local judge, not a minister, fyi). Also: and to use my own native state as an example (New Mexico) they determined that discrimination based on gender in marriage is not actually supported by the state's laws as written....so guess what, same sex marriage is legally fine and always was in this state.
The argument that marriage is a religious ceremony is just painful when I hear it, because it really marks the person presenting the argument as very limited in their scope of knowledge and understanding. It's just....hard....to imagine that someone would be so limited in their own understanding of this world they live in.
I disagree that this is about hatred; in fact, I think you have to be calling many people blatant liars to make it about hatred. Granted, on either side there are likely some who are driven by hatred, but that's always going to be the case. It seems that many (and probably the vast majority) of people on both sides are pretty normal people who genuinely feel the way they say they do. Trying to vilify people on one side or the other doesn't help and is disingenuous.
Personally I can see merit in both sides and I bet if you give each argument and fair chance you would too. And that's why the issue is such a difficult one. It's only through setting up absurd strawman arguments that you can really dismiss the whole debate.
On the one side, it looks like we're dealing with discrimination all over again. As with racial discrimination, it seems wrong to avoid doing business with people just because of their sexual orientation. Separate but equal never worked and simply wasn't right.
On the other side, it seems like you have the government forcing people not just to tolerate - but to actively celebrate - something that is deeply abhorrent to them. They would otherwise be inclined to let people live their own lives how they want but when forced to be involved they honestly feel wrong, deeply wrong, about being forced to tacitly condone things like same sex marriage.
Both sides sincerely feel like the other side is taking away their rights and feel the others' suggested way to deal with it is unfair. Hatred isn't necessarily a part of the equation at all.
Your last sentence seems to be contradicted by the prior paragraph. Also, I think you have not sufficiently demonstrated just how engaging in a neutral business transaction will adequately provide those who find someone different from them "deeply abhorrent" the requisite detection equipment to identify who they are (unless they are preparing a cake, apparently).
That said, I really wanted to comment on your first sentence: I absolutely am one who says that the supporters for this bill are doing so out of hatred, and are lying. Through their teeth, and possibly to themselves about what their motives are. Painfully obvious when you're not trapped on the inside of this den of lies and hate. PAINFULLY.
