Well, the fist fight thing really stirred up some discussion. It ended up being
I wanted to clarify a few points that came up in email, IM, and comments:
1) I'm giving advice based entirely on my own experiences and training. There are as many opinions on fighting techniques, stances and behaviors are there are people fighting in the world, and really, there's no "right" and "wrong" - simply "effective" and "ineffective".
2) My advice is intended specifically for inexperienced people for whom there is no escape from a fighting situation. Flight is not an option. Training is non-existent.
3) The entire goal of the guide is to keep instruction minimal and intuitive - stuff you can readily recall when you're in a dangerous situation, and stuff that won't set a beginner / inexperienced person up for failure.
4) On kicks: In a REAL fight situation, anything that reduces balance or stability is stupid. Kicks - even to the shin - are not an option for a beginner fighter who has not spent time developing balance and strength in the ankles, hamstrings, knees, groin and waist. If you've trained kicks, and you want to incorporate kicks in your fighting style, I applaud you. But I refuse to advise people to disrupt the balance and stability of their base when they're not trained fighters (and more than likely, scared out of their minds to even be in the situation). I won't say you're wrong if you do. I just refuse to.
5) Training - any amount of training - produces a certain amount of rhythm and assumed knowledge (muscle memory). When trained or seasoned fighters read my guide and think things like "why is he suggesting going to the belly when you're on the ground" or "why is he recommending against hook punches" should realize - your training has placed you into a mindset where clarity and conviction are second nature. If you're a rank amateur with no fight training whatsoever, you should focus on the simplest possible ways to disable your opponent and get safe. Kicking, elbowing, knees, targeted blows... These things work. Very very well. But they require a base of training and knowledge that my intended audience won't have.
6) Grappling... If you don't know how to fight on the ground, get the HELL of the ground. It's something I just cannot recommend. If I personally were in a one-on-one fight with someone, regardless of their size, strength or fight style, I'd be on the ground with them in a millisecond, because I've trained in arts that focus on groundwork. But for the first, oh... Three months or so of learning that crap? I got OWNED on the ground. So did you. You can puff your chest out on the net and say "no way, I pwnd!" if you want, but it's a lie. Every beginning wrestler, BJJ fighter, Judo player, etc. found the ground to be the last place on earth they really wanted to be for at least 3 months. You have to learn it. If you have to learn it, it's out of my guide.
7) Thank you all for reading and commenting on the article. Even the dissenters brought to light very important information that is worthy of discussion - and anytime someone can learn a reason to do or not do something, I'm all for it, regardless of the tone in which it's done :)
8) The "stance" pic was only semi-serious. In reality, my hands would be a bit closer together and I wouldn't be fighting near my very expensive Transformers Masterpiece figures (on the wall in the background). And I'd probably remove my shirt to take away another point of grip for my opponent. And I'd be smiling like a maniac. And that's not my mother's house.

An exclusive idea for a duplex penthouse is never needless. This one will be glamorous and brilliant enough to wake your feelings and tastes up and think it over about what exactly you do want from your life. Eccentric and modern luxury interior design in gorgeous New Your duplex penthouse, as a matter of fact, is may be something that everybody will admit he wants it. So, this one is located in Duane Street in Tribeca, Manhattan, New Your City and may be is waiting for you.
Yes, that is right. Still available – although it was completed as a project a year ago. The modern luxury interior design in gorgeous New Your duplex penthouse is not suffering from a lack of interest – do not even hesitate yourself with such a conclusion. The apartment is just too gorgeous and snobbish and its high price may be scaring people who have entered it but still could not realize how low the price is actually – for such a jewelry…
Here, in this modern luxury interior design of the classical New Your duplex penthouse we see the combination of many interior and architecture styles actually – Baroque, Ancient Greek and even Vintage. The main minimalist spirit, although, is taking the lead and the priority but still pushes back in order to leave the other great elements of the decoration and the furniture organization to shine with their own coruscation.
Luxury interior design
The particular elements and motives among the decorating pieces of this wonderful modern luxury interior design deserve an individual attention to be paid on. A stunning chandelier, an aristocratic living room carpet, a creative painting on the beautifully colored walls – just a little part of all this amazing fascination that could be gathered in one duplex apartment – though, it is not that difficult, as a matter of fact – we may all see how huge and spacious it is!

100,000 Bonus Qantas Points - Westpac Altitude Black Ad
Qatar Airways will launch its new 'super business class' in March 2017, with the custom-designed suite slated for both the Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A350 fleets.
Airline CEO Akbar Al Baker will pull back the curtain on the seat at the annual ITB Berlin travel trade show, which begins on March 8, and promises the seat will revolutionise business class with a suite-like design and 'business class bedroom'.
PREVIOUS | Qatar Airways will reveal its new 'super business class' seat in November this year, ahead of an ambitious fleet-wide refit aimed to not only leapfrog the competition but close the gap between business class and first class.
The seat will feature sliding doors to convert it into a suite-like cabin, similar to a prototype design proposed by British firm DCA Design International for Singapore Airlines (below).
Also on the cards for at least the middle seats is a 'double bed', according to Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker, who promises it "will frankly be first class at a business class fare."
"I really feel that private suites become a bit claustrophobic, so when we are designing our new business class product we are making sure it is not claustrophobic" Al Baker tells Australian Business Traveller of what's been described as a 'business class bedroom'.
"So we have decided to go for semi-privacy, in the cabin concept people slide the two doors and it becomes a cabin. It is already semi-closed and then it becomes fully closed, because people want additional privacy when they are sleeping."
Exclusive to Qatar
"There are so many things people can do to tailor the cabin to their requirements," Al Akbar says of the new design, which will be exclusive to Qatar Airways.
And with business class seats now becoming the new battleground in a push for premium travellers, the radical design will be exclusive to Qatar Airways.
"The design is proprietary and will be patented" Al Akbar explains. "The seat designer will not be able to (offer) this product to anybody else, and if any airline mimics this design we have patent protection."
The seat – which will be marketed as Super Business Class – will fly first on brand new aircraft as they roll out of the factory, "hopefully from December this year", following a global media launch in November.
Fleet-wide refit for 2017
Al Akbar told Australian Business Traveller that the Super Business Class berth would likely debut on a Boeing 777-300ER, and then be followed by Airbus A350s, including the first long-range Airbus A350-1000 with Al Baker said was due for delivery in March 2017.
"Then we have a retrofit program where we will retrofit every aircraft in the fleet" at a rate of "three aircraft a month."
Qatar Airways will continue to fly first class (below) only on its flagship Airbus A380s.
"Our premium travel is business travel, mostly, so we will keep a very limited number of first class seats, only in the A380, and all the other airplanes will only have a business class product" Al Baker previously told Australian Business Traveller at the Arabian Travel Market in mid-2014.
Earlier this week Singapore Airlines revealed that its next wave of A380 deliveries from 2017 would have fewer first class suites, although those suites are expected to have a larger footprint, partly in answer to the spacious near-4m² first class Apartment of Etihad's superjumbo.

Love the doors, privacy plus, lock the kiddies out of sight. The more I read and hear about Qatar the more I'm liking.

We tried the J product on 3 aircraft (77W, A350, A340) for the first time over the festive period. I would certainly recommend. Heaps better than EK 777, but I won't press that point too much with you ;)
Though I think EK beat QR hands down with their lounges at DXB. The DOH lounges (both Mourjan and Safwa, which we tried) were rubbish.

Im not too sure what to expect, considering that he said their "regular economy is good enough to be premium economy" at 3-4-3 configuration in the 777...
Maybe it will be better, but I personally won't be expecting much to be completely honest.

Unless they are changing, QR is 3-3-3 in Y on the 777. So I think the statement is valid compared to EY, EK or the many many other 777 operators that fly with 10 across.

Hi Ben, actually Arza's comment is valid as they have a number of 777-300ERs that are 3-4-3 in economy: https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Qatar_Airways/Qatar_Airways_Boeing_777-300ER.php

They do have some 3-4-3 layouts

Their A380 Y upper deck is a 2-4-2 layout and much more spacious than SQs upper deck Y and less crowded

I'm predicting a big increase in the number of mile-high club memberships when the 'double bed' comes on line.

Whilst they can't run the airline in regard to all Islamic principles, ie I assume they serve alcohol on board, I doubt they would ever, shall we say - facilitate - membership of the "Mile High Club". That would be a bridge too far for most airlines, let alone one from an Islamic country I should think.

I recently flew QR's 772LR's, they're still the preferred 3-3-3 layout and incredibly comfortable.
No member give thanks
18 Oct, 2016 02:48 pm
there's nothing more 'sexy' than 2 side by side seats in a semi private cabin in bed mode, that still require each person to wear a seatbelt, joining the 'mile high club' lol. But hey, i'm sure some people will still 'give it a go' lol. QR conveniently leave out the safety aspects/requirements

Yeah, on second thought they could just connect every two seats in their 777 so everyone sleeps with someone else...

David are they retrofitting the A350-900 also? Or just rolling it out on the A350-1000?I think they're flying the 777-200LR to AKL, will this also get the new product eventually? I think it needs to in order to compete with EK's J direct (although I don't mind the open cabin 2-2-2 layout)

Are there ANY rumors on what they are going to base their seat on? There is no way they are building a seat from the ground up!

"Cross the wooden bridge into this aromatic mountain garden with stylish cottages, pool and Ayurvedic centre, and leave the world behind"
Of the 18 guest suites dotted around the gardens, 10 are standalone cottages and 8 are rooms arranged in units of 2 or 4. All have thatched elephant-grass roofs, ensuite bathrooms and private verandas (with divans and cushions for the cottages). In some cottages the double beds can convert to twins, so state your preference when booking.
The 8 rooms are simple but tastefully decorated, with colourful lamps and cushions, white walls, terracotta-tiled floors and wood panelling dividing the bedroom from a little corridor with a desk.
The cottages have flower and bamboo arrangements, individual colour schemes and mellow, atmospheric lighting throughout. Eight of them are roomier Elegant Cottages, complete with day beds on their verandas and coloured lights to guide you home. There are also 2 extra-secluded and petal-strewn Honeymoon Cottages, one at the bottom of the garden by the lily pond, the other hidden behind the swimming pool with a ladder to its loft bedroom.
Complimentary fruit bowls, water bottles, Ayurvedic bath products, bathrobes and slippers are all provided, with hairdryers available on request. None of the rooms or cottages are air-conditioned, but the mountain climate means nights stay cool throughout the year and heaters and extra blankets are provided.
Meals are served as a buffet when more than 10 rooms are filled. Otherwise, they can be eaten in the semi open-air restaurant, at one of the stone tables in the garden, by the swimming pool or on your own veranda.
Breakfast can be fresh fruit, a continental spread of eggs, toast and jam or Indian dosas, uppumas, bhajis and parathas, washed down with locally-grown tea and coffee.
Lunch and dinner feature a tasty and light selection of fresh salads, vegetables, meat and fish marinades, grills and bakes. This includes a comprehensive range of local delicacies and North Indian favourites such as Meen Pollichathu (spicy fish wrapped in a banana leaf) and lots of chunky fish, chicken, mutton and paneer curries. During high season, Tandoori dishes using a range of fish, chicken and vegetables are also available. Pasta is another specialty thanks to Shalimar's Italian co-creator, and our Arrabbiata accompanied by triangles of garlic toast was delicious, as was our super-spicy vegetable soup, fish curry and cardamom soufflé.
With the evenings being so cool – and very wet in the monsoon season – the restaurant is set behind glass walls around the main foyer, giving an intimate feel, with views over the whole property. Pre-dinner drinks are often taken around the fireplace in the lobby.
There are no particular kids facilities here, but the setting is great and it's well located for Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary and the nearby lake. Over 3s only.
Those under 6 stay for free and those between the ages of 6 and 10 are charged half price when no extra bed is required and they're sharing a room with their parents.
Children (4-12 years), Teens (over 12)
Elegant Cottages and Elegant Rooms are your best bet: add an extra bed to either. If you have 2 children, you will need to book an extra room, and since the cottages are spaced throughout the resort, it might be best if you're bringing older children. All cottages and rooms have showers, not baths.
Babysitting is available by arrangement
There's a buffet-style set up with largely Indian food, but with pasta, soup and other non-Indian snacks too, so less adventurous kids are catered for
Mosquitoes can be a pest
