site: http://www.anime-planet.com/anirec/
AniRec @ Anime-Planet function via user input. All of the series you want are there all complete with a short review and a attached image (similar to AniDB) The system works by gathering information from you thorugh one of two ways. Both are easy and fast, and there's no direct human input required on the other side for you to recieve your answer.
I. Request (no registration required)
The simplest way to use AniRec is simply to browse it.
When you enter the site, on the front page, on the left navigation, just bellow recent anime you will find a category labeled AniRec.
(it should look something like the screen on the right)
There are 3 diffrent ways to browse:
II. By Submissions (registration; it's free )
First register.
Once you've done that start by searching for your favorite series.
You'll notice AniRec is providing a lot of other shows you've watched under recomandations.
Go through them and rate them. (you'll need to mark them as watched/droped/stalled etc before rating)
This takes less time then you think, something like 5 minutes for every 30 serie, if not less.
Once you've done that, recomandations will come in your profile, just refresh them until you find something which sounds intresting.

wow!! o_o
I am humbled that this has been posted - thanks NSW and mods for allowing it. Cats, you've written up a great tutorial. If you are interested, I can edit it a bit to show off some of the other useful features when looking for recs (for one, the filter, which I've been procrastinating putting up and now will do so tonight)
When AP V3 is put up in about 3-6 months some of these new features (like tags, etc) will be WAY more useful... haha, now I am motivated to work faster XD

I've made some recommendations recently... I'm waiting to see if they are approved. I'm kind of new at it, so they aren't very good yet, but I'll improve them as I go along. (I can always edit later.)

Probably one of the best ways to keep track of your anime period, while helping you expend your anime viewing. One of my favorite sites on the web period. More than anything else though I like the recommendations, Sothis does keep track of them, least last time I check :P, and you know that they have a real reason why the anime has been recommended instead of just for just the hell of it.

Maybe someone can answer me something, as a newbie to A-P... Is there any way to get a recommendation based on the shows you list as watched, and how you rated them? I know the OP mentioned recommendations in your profile, but I've rated about 150 series and I've never gotten a recommendation in my profile. Also - is there any facility to see the average rating for a given series? If I pull up a show and 4000 people list it as "watched", I'd be curious to see how they ranked it - but i can't seem to find that functionality anywhere.
I love the concept - and it's a fun way to track the shows I've watched. I'd just like to derive a bit more practical benefit from the site.

Hey all - the confusing older version of the site is gone, and the new version should be much easier to understand. Cats, I'll pm you with a new tutorial you can replace your first post with, since now there's a lot of new/easy ways to get recs
enzo: right now we don't have a system for automatic recommendations - all recs are user-submitted, reasons are required, and we have rules for those reason (for example, you shouldn't ever see 'both have girls with blue hair' or something stupid like that). But, you can filter recommendations based on what's in your list - so if you are looking on the Naruto page at the recs, you can click 'only unmarked' or 'only unwatched' to help filter them down.
Avg rating was added as well with our V3 launch on July 4 - a few days after you posted this. ^_^ It's on the left side of each entry, though we're updating it in the next week or so to also show rank/etc.
Anyways yeah, I'll try to get a new tutorial figured out so the first post works with V3 ^_^

Jeep Wrangler TJ Master Craft Baja RS Suspension SeatingPosted in How To: Body Chassis on June 1, 2010
Whether it's that well-worn recliner sitting in the living room or the classic bench seat that has just the right amount of cushion left, everybody loves a nice place to sit. Since the introduction of the Jeep Wrangler in 1987, thousands of wheeling enthusiasts have used the rugged two-door platform for everything from daily driving to backyard mud bogging. While the Wrangler is well known for its no-frills interior, the factory seats haven't always fit the bill when it comes to comfort on the trail or long-distance commutes.
Luckily, MasterCraft Safety shares the same love for comfort and Jeeps as we do and offers a full line of replacement suspension seats for early- to late-model Wranglers. Using its years of wheeling and off-road racing experience, MasterCraft created seats that are tough enough for the off-road racer yet comfy enough for the weekend trail king.
With our buddy's factory Wrangler seats in his '01 TJ were wearing a little thin, we decided to upgrade with a set of MasterCraft's Baja RS seats. The Baja RS seat is a unique part of MasterCraft's line, as this seat is fitted with a heavy-duty adjuster that allows occupants to recline to their liking. In addition to the great adjustability, the seat accepts a five-point safety harness system, plus it works with your factory seatbelts. Best of all, the Baja RS is a totally bolt-in upgrade; it simply attaches to the TJ's factory seat rails. The total install time is about 45 minutes per side, depending on how fast a wrench you are, and it's an easy driveway job.
So if you're tired of how tough on the tail your factory seats are, then cruise on over to www.mastercraftsafety.com and see how they add more comfort to your terra cruiser.
Though the Baja RS is completely compatible with your factory seat belts, one of the advantages of the race-inspired suspension seat is that you can equip it with a five-point safety harness. Just remember that a five-point belt system requires sturdy mounting locations and often ties into a rollcage.
The beauty of the MasterCraft Baja RS seat is that you get all the same free-range reclining motion as your original seat. And since the supportive seat bolts directly to your factory seat slider, you can still flip the passenger seat up to let your rear passengers pile in.

Health Officials Warn of Holiday Norovirus Threat
ST. PAUL (AP) - 'Tis the season for giving, but health officials say too many Minnesotans are giving and receiving something nobody wants: the norovirus.
Noroviruses affect the stomach and intestines, leading to vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramping. Other symptoms can include low-grade fever or chills, headaches and muscle aches. They're highly contagious, and they're the leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks in Minnesota, infecting thousands of people each year.
The virus lurks in the stools or vomit of infected people, and makes its way to food, water or surfaces via the hands of infected people who haven't washed them properly. Uncooked shellfish from contaminated waters can also harbor it.
Kirk Smith, foodborne disease supervisor at the Minnesota Department of Health, says the season of giving should also be the season of good hand-washing.

The exhibition includes great works from the San Marco Treasury in Venice and rare items from collections across Europe, the USA, Russia, Ukraine and Egypt. The exhibition begins with the foundation of Constantinople in 330 AD by the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great and concludes with the capture of the city by the Ottoman forces of Mehmed II in 1453. Highlights include a two-sided icon of Virgin Hodegetria (obverse) and the Man of Sorrows (reverse), 12th century, from the Byzantine Museum, Kastoria, a 10–11th century imperial ivory casket from Troyes cathedral depicting hunting scenes and riders and the Homilies of Monk James Kokkinobaphos, a manuscript from 1100–1150AD on loan from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris. Also featured is the Antioch Chalice, 500–550AD, on loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. After its discovery in c.1911, the silver gilt artefact was believed to have been the Holy Grail, the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper.

Unfinished index
The Unfinished index is an unfinished glossary-index of place-names occurring in The Lord of the Rings.[1] Several quotes from the manuscript were included in The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion.[note 1]
The manuscript, written by J.R.R. Tolkien and edited by Nancy Smith, is entitled Index questions. The manuscript was sold by Christie's in 2002, and a description was featured in the catalogue Christie's Fine Printed Books and Manuscripts 24 May 2002.[2]
From Christie's
TOLKIEN, John Ronald Reuel (1892-1973). Manuscript notes signed ("J.R.R. Tolkien" on page 3, and initial-signed at end), comprising detailed instructions for the index to The Lord of the Rings. 12 March 1958. 4 pages, 4to. With a typed questionnaire headed "Index questions," from Smith annotated by Tolkien in red, 2 pages, 4to.
Following publication of the final volume of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, demand grew among readers for an index to the monumental work and the publisher, George Allen & Unwin Ltd., eventually complied to these requests only after Tolkien himself sought an index for his own use. The managing director of the firm, Rayner S. Unwin offered the assignment to Mrs. Nancy Smith, an editor and family friend. Her husband, Bernard S. Smith, was a British foreign service officer who shared rooms at Oxford with Christopher Tolkien and Rayner Unwin.
Preparation of the index engendered some correspondence between Smith and Tolkien, who wanted the material to be divided into three parts: Persons, Places, and Things. Smith began the index in January of 1958, and it took four months to completion. The finished result, a carbon copy of which accompanies this lot, filled 84 single-spaced typed pages. Mrs. Smith was paid the standard rate of £5 per volume for her work.
Smith sent a two-page typed list of "Index questions," to Tolkien at the early stages of the project. He began annotating the margins in reply to the eight questions posed by Smith, but ended up writing out a four-page outline carefully defining his specific requirements for the index with numerous examples.
"The index is intended primarily for my personal use. I hope to prepare from it some sort of glossary/index such as readers' letters suggest is most desired. But its immediate uses will be: (a) correction (where needed of inconsistencies, in spelling or use, or errors in the present text; and (b) co-ordination of the nomenclature of The Lord of the Rings with other work."
He concludes, "I hope these notes on the queries will be useful. In any points where the compiler is in doubt a (?) query will really be sufficient, as it will warn me that there is an unclarity or doubt, which I can then consider." The index first appeared in published editions of the trilogy in 1962, and has continued to been included at the end of the final volume of subsequent editions of the trilogy to present.

Stretching the Limits of Neuroplasticity
By Erin Thacker
Someday soon, we may be able to repair the brain damage from Alzheimer's, erase traumatic memories, and access untapped reserves of potential in our minds. The key to altering our brains for the better is the insight—just a few decades old—that the brain constantly remodels itself.
Throughout our lives, from infancy to old age, our brains add connections over here, prune others over there, and ramp up production of certain genes while silencing others. As researchers tease out the intricacies of this process, however, they also are learning how to engineer it from the outside.
Plastic People
"Neural plasticity is perhaps the most powerful capacity your brain has," says David Sweatt, Ph.D., chair of the UAB Department of Neurobiology, director of the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute at UAB, and Evelyn F. McKnight Endowed Chair for Learning and Memory in Aging. "It's a huge component of what makes us unique, and what makes us so flexible in our ability to adapt in both positive and negative ways to what's going on around us."
UAB already is recognized as a global leader in neuroplasticity research, Sweatt says. Now neuroplasticity is listed as a priority in the School of Medicine's new strategic plan, which helps chart the future of research at UAB. "The brain, generally speaking, and plasticity of the nervous system, more specifically, is one of the last great frontiers in science and biomedicine," Sweatt says.
Here is a sampling of the intriguing avenues UAB researchers are exploring now.
Desire Makes a Difference: Training the Brain to Repair Itself
In the 1990s, UAB stroke researcher Edward Taub, Ph.D., in collaboration with a group of German investigators, demonstrated that brain plasticity occurs in humans and can have a functional role in sensory experience and movement. He then provided the first concrete evidence that medical treatments can reshape the brain. Over several decades, and despite considerable early skepticism from colleagues, Taub developed constraint-induced movement therapy (CI therapy) to help patients after a stroke. By immobilizing a patient's functional arm and encouraging the patient to complete tasks with the impaired limb, therapists have been able to produce dramatic results.
CI therapy, originally developed to treat patients after stroke, has been successfully adapted for a number of conditions, including multiple sclerosis.
Brain imaging techniques show that CI therapy leads to "a profuse increase in the gray matter of the brain in motor areas and in the hippocampus," Taub says. Patients can benefit from CI therapy even if it begins decades after an injury. The therapy requires no surgery or drugs, and there are no side effects. There is one catch, though: Patients must actively participate in their rehabilitation to gain lasting benefits.
"Passive stimulation does not rewire the brain," Taub says. "Most rehabilitation therapy is, in a sense, passive. People participate, and they move, but they move in response to what the therapist is telling them to do, and their responsibility ends there."
CI therapy, by contrast, makes patients the key agent in regaining lost motor function by requiring that they continue extensive use of the impaired arm in everyday tasks when they are outside the clinic. "The patients are thereby immersed in a therapeutic environment for a substantial portion of the day," Taub says. Over the past decade, stroke patients around the world have benefited from the therapy. Taub and his colleagues have successfully rehabilitated patients with traumatic brain injuries and children with cerebral palsy as well.
Now Taub is working with Victor Mark, M.D., an associate professor in the UAB Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Gitendra Uswatte, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Psychology, to demonstrate the power of CI therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Unlike stroke or traumatic brain injury, MS is a progressive, degenerative neurological disorder, and at first, Taub and his colleagues weren't positive that CI therapy would provide any benefit. To their delight, however, MS patients can regain some of their lost function immediately after starting CI therapy, and this improvement persists over time, Taub says.
"If anything, we get a better result with MS than we do with stroke, and for the motor functions we train it has prevented the progress of the motor deficit which normally occurs," Taub explains. "We seem to be getting the same change in gray matter that we do after stroke as well." The improvements remain up to five years after treatment—the longest observation that researchers have made so far.
Taub, in collaboration with Margaret Johnson, Ph.D., of the University of Montevallo and Jamie Wade and Leslie Harper of the UAB Department of Rehabilitation's Speech and Hearing Program, also is seeing benefits in patients with aphasia, a language disorder that can result from brain injury. In the few patients treated so far at UAB, CI therapy seems to be very effective at improving the ability to speak. And in work with psychology graduate student Michelle Haddad, Taub has shown that the therapy increases gray matter in language areas of the brain.

Cut Your Own Christmas Tree at the EGF and G Club2 6 Share Tweet
If you want to cut down your own tree and support a local conservation organization hit up the East Glastonbury Fish and Game Club Tree Farm in December. Not only will you be able to support a good cause but it also provides for quality family time and lots of photo ops with your Lomo camera.
The East Glastonbury Fish and Game Club located in Marlborough CT is a local conservation club that is completely owned and operated by its members. During the month of December they sell Christmas trees but you have to cut that thing down yourself.
The great thing about this place is that the trees are cared for all year long by the club members. So maybe the trees aren't conventionally beautiful but they are charming. The family atmosphere of the place is second to none and you are supporting a local group of guys who are out there trying to preserve a little piece of the great New England wilderness.

Eat With Us: Taiwan Restaurant
Entrance to the Taiwan Restaurant
The restaurant is a local longhouse situated on a beautiful piece of padi land with the sea on the right. The place is big but only about five tables were occupied and three of them were by tourists, very probably Australians, who seemed more at home than us.
Ten minutes after seating ourselves, a young Timorese girl came and rattled out the limited menu. She couldn't answer our questions but repeated the menu like a recording. Hub went to the door of the kitchen and the chef/proprietor asked him to stay out of the kitchen. Hub said he just wanted to know if...the lady shouted again for him to leave and Hub walked away, telling her she's rude. The boys and I looked at each other and wondered if we should leave or risk eating the lady's spit in our lunch. But I had taken a peep at the kitchen, and the cooks, 6 or 7 of them who looked like they were family, didn't seem like bad people...
It was another half hour before the food arrived. It was noon and the place was very warm, and Hub was in a negative mood. The restaurant did not serve any drinks except "herbal drinks from the herbs we grow." Not being experts in herbal drinks, we settled for cold water.
Homemade noodles in beef soup RM7 (US$2).
All grouchiness disappeared as we tucked this in. The noodles were very el dente and the soup full of beefy goodness (I suspect my favorite Bovril as an ingredient).
Stewed pork leg RM45 (US$13)
Just the glorious sight of this huge pork leg was enough to perk up our spirits. We all gave it our thumbs up too. It was tender (no need for that menacing knife), not too fatty and the addition of pineapple gave it that tangyness. The portion was too big for the four of us, and we had to doggy-bag the half that remained.
I'm not sure if I'll go back. The service was almost non-existent: they took so long taking our orders, serving the food and giving back our change (because they took so long and we started walking about, I totally forgot about the change and one of the staff had to run after our car to give us the change). Then again the food's good and it was very nice to drive out there on the coastal road and stop along the way to eat durians at the many roadside stalls.

Yowza! That is some bad service alright. Sorry to read about it. And I had no idea they'd stopped serving other drinks. Owchy.
The beef soup and the porkie did look great though. At least that's not changed too much.

i knew this place 2 years back and always go there with my family.. that time service was very good.. the female boss is the one who serve and recommend the dishes to us..
i went there few months back.. i must say.. not only the service is slow.. the food also not that nice anymore..
if u go there again next time, try their "fried roti canai", "cold beef steak", "coconut shoot" and "chicken chop"!
- September 10, 2007 at 10:31 AM
madam -
that's pretty pricey by malaysian standards is it not?
i would have expected it to have been a fancy restaurant, or barring that, really really good food.

bryan:c meatball's recommendatn.
meatball: Wey said "Fried roti canai?? Yukks!" I'm curious about the coconut shoot tho.
ronnie: :) it is rather pricey for a no air-con faraway eatery. i guess they really are from Taiwan.

7 mm/.284 Caliber (.284) 140 gr. SBT
For rifles chambered in 7mm cartridges, this bullet has the heavy, double-tapered Sierra jacket for hunting.. The #1905 bullet is recommended for all 7mm cartridges. It is an excellent choice as a lighter bullet in any of the 7mm magnum cartridges for use at medium to long ranges.
In handguns, the 140 grain #1905 is considered too "tough" for smaller cartridges, such as the 7mm TCU and 7mm BR. However, this bullet is seeing much use in the Remington XP-100 chambered for the 7mm-08 Remington or in similar cartridge/handgun combinations for both target shooting and hunting applications. This bullet is a good choice when driven at 2500 fps or more for medium or large game at typical handgun ranges. Using this bullet for hunting is limited to muzzle velocities achievable with only a select few cartridge and handgun combinations, but no such restrictions apply to target use. This bullet can be used in all 7mm cartridges for target shooting.

|Superb accuracy at 2680 fps from my 7x57 1895 Mauser...29" German made barrel... with a moderate load of H-4831. Yes, a moderate 48 grain load of H-4831 pushes these faster than Hornady Custom factory ammo actually pushed their similar 139 grain plastic tip lead core boat tail bullet. Hornady CUSTOM 7x57 Mauser load may now be called 275 Rigby.... Hornady claimed 2680 fps 'on the box' .. I actually clocked with chronograph two Hornady shots at 2668 and 2628 fps... Hornady ? ...40 fps spread...WOW ! ...and Hornady fell short of velocity claims even in a 29" barrel too... Yep, surely did. Sierra "moderate pressure" handloads actually delivered the speed Hornady claimed to....with a "moderate" load o 48 grains of H-4831 and with superb accuracy. I could push this Sierra bullet faster and still be within pressure limits... but, with this superb accuracy...why ? I plan to get another 30 Years out of this built in Germany in 1895 rifle and pass it on to the next generation in still useful condition. I would definitely recommend this 140 grain 7mm SBT #1905 bullet for 7mmx57 Mauser. And, H-4831 is a good powder to push these with.

|These are surpisingly hard bullets. I loaded them in a 7-08 and shot 2 whitetails . One at 100 and one at 2. Both behind the shoulder rib shots. 3/.4 inch exit holes and they both ran 50 yards. A max charge of big game powder bot not chronographed. I would guess 2900. Maybe more knockdown with more speed or shoulder shots.

|I have yet to use this bullet on any game but it printed a five shot group at 200 yds., that measured 1 11/16". I'm pretty happy with that. I am still in the process of working up these 7mm/08 loads.
|Jeff K of Carrolltown, Pennsylvania
|October 24, 2015
|Have used these for almost 20 years in my 7mm rem mag. groups inch or less at 200 yards. have killed 30 plus deer and hundreds of groundhogs with these and never a fail.
|Jim W of Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada
|August 7, 2015
|I have had excellent success with the 7mm 140 gr 1905. I have a 280 that shoots under 1/2 inch at 100 yards. I have taken Deer, Bear, Moose and the bullet performed fantastically. I could not have asked for better. I have shot game from 30 yards to 400. I have tremendous confidence with this gun and load. I don't know how I could ask for more.
|Jared T of Palestine, Texas

|I was a little worried about the penetration of these bullets after reading a rather critical review of them by an "expert" but since they were the ONLY bullet my Browning would group well with I decided to put them to the test to see if they would hold up and penetrate. Mind you I am pushing them 2953fps in my 7mm-08 so they are hitting hard and fast, 1st time out I lucked up and had the ideal torture test scenario for them, a raking shot on a boar hog, at crazy close range (5 yards not kidding) hit him in the front shoulder, took out the vitals and the bullet exited out the right ham, that is near full body penetration with obvious expansion. Needless to say I am not worried about their penetration anymore.

|Best bullets on the market. Without Sierra I would never be able to hit a target. They are more precious than gold. No matter how much they cost I will always buy, even If I have to sell my house or my children. God bless Sierra, the bullet smiths of all time.

|I use these in my 7600 280 LOVE it. R22 55gr OAL I shortened to 3.28 will never use anything else for this rifle
|Barry G of Barnsdall, Oklahoma
|December 3, 2013
|I shoot this bullet out of my custom model 700 in 7x57 and it is amazing. I have taken several whitetails over 400 yards with this bullet and rifle the last a mature 5x4 at 500 with one shot and he ran only 25 yards before piling up. I would especially recommend these bullets for folks shooting similar cartridges. I should add I only take these shots under perfect conditions from a tower with a perfect rest, little to no wind and very still crosshairs.
|Jim T of La Grange, Missouri
|November 20, 2013
|Just took a big 8 point, almost 10 point, Whitetail with this bullet last weekend. One shot kill, with only about a 25 yard run. I'm very happy with their performance. Thanks Sierra for an awesome bullet!

|THE 280 Remington bullet for whitetail deer. Shoots under 1/2" out of my rifle. Truckload of deer harvested with it. I have not tried another bullet in my rifle since the first .44" group was fired from it. Devastating to deer. 35 yds - 350 yds.

The conversation starts innocently enough. "So, how was your day?" asks my husband. "Well," I say, "the short version goes like this: After I spent an hour with my arms held over my head wedged inside the gecko tank to extend its misting system, I asked my Director of Education to help me transfer our very large (and angry) rattlesnake so I could clean out his tank.
After I scrubbed out the rattlesnake tank, we wrangled him back in again. Then I think I paid some standard bills: fruit flies, crickets, you know — the basics. Oh, but the best part was during my test dissection of an owl pellet for an upcoming class, when I found an entire bird skull in the pellet. It was so cool! How was your day?"
My husband pauses to let all of that to sink in and finally says, "Fine." Another pause. "Did you say angry rattlesnake? You didn't touch it, did you?"
So begins another conversation about my day-to-day with an incredulous spouse. I assure him once again that, yes, all of that is in my job description. And it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface when you think about the Overnights, Teacher Workshops, Outreach Programs, or overarching if-you-don't-know-ask-Education requests our Department solves daily.
One thing is for sure, it's never routine, and there's never a dull moment.

Foxconn boss calls workers animals
by Nick Farrell on20 January 2012
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Apple's favoured supplier scores PR own goal
While Apple is running around trying to tell the world+dog that it is not bolstering its profits by using Chinese sweatshops to make its toys, one of its key suppliers has just made a huge PR mistake.
Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou told his senior managers that Hon Hai has a workforce of over one million worldwide and "as human beings are also animals, to manage one million animals gives me a headache." Hon Hai is the parent company of Foxconn, which makes iPhones and iPads for Apple. Gou added that he would "like to learn from the director of the Taipei Zoo, Chin Shih-chien, as to how animals should be managed".
It is possible that the comments were made as a joke which was lost in the translation, given that Foxconn workers have been throwing themselves off buildings lately has been a cause for concern. Recently there was a mass protest after Foxconn just ignored an agreement it made to pay workers at the plant. We guess if the management sees them as animals it makes these things easier on their conscious.
Less easy is the position of Apple which apparently wants to work with people who think their workers are animals. Steve Jobs famously dismissed any allegations that Foxconn was a sweat shop and certainly did not use child labour. However if Apple pushes Foxconn to make too many changes the price of its shiny toys will go up.
Anyway Apple fanboys have shown a complete lack of interest about who their toys are made, it would not matter if Foxconn spent up its production lines by attaching electrodes to workers genitals they would still queue up for them.

Zingg's Karate
Give us a call!
2014 US Kempo Team Now Forming:
for the 2013 World Kempo Championship Tournament
in ancient and exotic Budapest, Hungary, April 20-27, 2014.
More information to follow
To all interested people:
How to join the United States Kempo Team:
(open to all Kempo/Kenpo stylists, or those martial artists
who would like to fight under the Sport Kempo fighting rules)
Dear Prospective Kempo Team Member,
Dear Prospective US Kempo Team Member,
I hope this letter finds you well and in good health. My name is Robert Zingg, from Ranson, West Virginia, where I own and operate a martial arts school dedicated to teaching the traditional arts of Kempo, Karate, and Ju-jutsu. I am writing on behalf of the Board of Directors of the International Kempo Federation (IKF), of which I am the Pan-American Director. The IKF promotes all Kempo/Kenpo styles around the world through regional, National and International competitions.
I have the privilege of forming the next US Kempo Team for the 2013 World Kempo Championship (WKC) in ancient and exotic Antalya, Turkey. I have the honor of having been the US Kempo Team leader for the last six World Kempo Championships, in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009, and 2011, and 2012 (there was no tournament in 2010). I also organized the "USA vs. Romania" Full-contact Exhibitions in April of 2006, held in Charles Town,West Virginia and Hagerstown, Maryland.
I would like the opportunity to talk to you about you being a part of the 2013 US Kempo Team competing in Antalya, Turkey April 21-28, 2013 and the 2014 US Kempo Team, competing in Budapest, Hungary, April 20-27, 2014. The main points of the IKF and WKC are outlined in the rest of this letter. I hope you will take the time to read it and consider being a part of the 2012 US Kempo Team. Please consider this letter as a personal invitation from me.
I am searching for individuals, dojos, small and large Kai and other organizations that may be interested in participating in this 2012 US Kempo Team. The team is open to any Kempo/Kenpo student or instructor who may practice any form of Kempo/Kenpo. Japanese, Chinese, Okinawan, Shorinji, American, Ed Parker Style, Jeff Speakman Kenpo 5.0, Kajukenbo, or any other system that has a Kempo or Kenpo base or derivative is welcome. Since the IKF promotes all Kempo/Kenpo styles, everyone is welcome. We are commited to forming a team with a cross-section of all styles of Kempo players across America, so the world can see the high quality of Kempo in the USA.
As we now prepare for the 2012 WKC Tournament, which is less than 6 months away, we need a high quality team in preparation for the excellent quality of our European, Asian, and African competitors.
There are several categories in which players may compete: Full-contact and Semi-contact Fighting, Forms, Weapon forms, Empty-hand Self-defense, Weapon Self-defense, and Weapon fighting. The tournament is a Black Belt only competition; however, anyone can compete as long as they realize there is only one rank division. There is no separation of rank in the tournament, only by age and gender. However, several of my blue and green belts won 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals in the WKC in 2005 and 2008, and one of my teen white belts won three Bronze medals is 2008. It is not about rank, only skill.
There are 5 types of fighting divisions, each with thier own rules and styles of fighting: (the full set of rules may be obtained by visiting the IKF website: www.ikfkempo.com)
We are allowed 2 fighters in each weight class/age class/type of fighting category, occasionally they allow a 3rd fighter from each country in each division so there are plenty of opportunities for members to participate. The younger fighters, under 14, are only allowed to do the semi-contact. Full-contact and knockdown are reserved for the older teenagers and the adults.
There are also other divisions: same age divisions as the fighting. We are allowed 3 players per age/gender category.
All in all, it looks as though the 2012 WKC tournament will be a very grand affair and will be the largest tournament to date. I am confident we can put together a US Team of 50 - 100 or more competitors. In the preveous World Championships the other countries of Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, have usually brought very large teams, with Romania, Hungary, France, Russia, Algeria, Azerbijian, and The Netherlands being the largest. In contrast, the US Kempo Team has been fairly small, with 11 competitors in our first entry into the competition in 2003. In 2005 we had 7 competitiors, and in 2007 we were only able to bring 4 members due to injuries and travel complications. In 2008 we had 6 mermbers and in 2009 we brought 8 members, and unfortunately due to the unstable US economy in 2011 in St. Petersburg, Russia, and last year, 2012, in Antalya, Turkey, the US Team was composed of onely one member, the Team Leader robert Zingg, yes, thats right - me! (however I still earned 1 Gold, 3 Silvers, and 6Bronze medals at those two events).
Previous Team Wins:
The USA needs to really take charge of the competition in a big way in order for us to be able to host a future World Kempo Championship tournament here in the States. Ideas for fundraisers and other programs will be greatly appreciated. I am sure if we all contribute to the effort, the entire Team will have no problem with expenses. With your help I know we can form a US Team that will let the world know that the USA is a real powerhouse in Kempo/Kenpo.
The US Kempo Team has applied for 501c3 Non-Profit Corporate status. When it is approved all donations and contributuions will be fully tax deductable. We are currently working on sponsorships locally and nationally to help defray the costs of the travel cost associated with the WKC 2013. Airfare, hotel, food, misc. travel, etc, are all being factored into the equation. The folks I have contacted already have expressed great interest in the project. I hope to hear back from you soon. You may call me at the dojo anytime between 3:30 pm and 9pm EST Monday through Friday at 304-725-3639, or on my cell phone 304-261-0160, or at home 304-728-7216. Feel free to give my phone numbers out to others who you feel would be interested and to make copies of the rules for whom ever needs them. My email and regular dojo mailing address is listed below, so please feel free to contact me for any reason.
Thank you.
