Here's a hint that has helped me in my jodo a good bit. Mark up your practice jo and bokken with a black Sharpie so that you will have significant reference marks. I thought about using marking tape so that I'd have a tactile as well as visual reference, but I figured the tape would rapidly wear off, leaving the jo gummy. Here's how I marked mine:.For the bokken, first find the center of mass of the weapon by balancing it on one finger. Place a mark on the flat back edge right at the center of mass. It doesn't have to be conspicuous to others, but it should be highly visible to the swordsman holding the bokken. Then hold the tip end of the bokken in one closed fist and make a second mark on the back edge that is one palm-width from the tip. This marks the cutting surface (the last 3 inches) as well as marking the point to cross sword and jo to measure ma-ai. The center-of mass mark serves mostly as a reference point for your subconscious to make note of relative positions every time th

1. Life is hard.2. I am not that important.3. My life is not about me.4. I am not in control.5. You are going to die.These strike me as true in my heart. They come from a man named Richard Rohr. He didn't invent them. They are timeless truths.They sound harsh to many people when I tell them they are a code by which I strive to live. I don't know if they're harsh. If anyone would like to know how I understand them, how they apply to my challenges with food, eating, body, and addiction, please comment and ask. I would be glad to offer my 2 cents.King Harley

Whenever I buy a new Bible for daily use (as opposed to occasional reference for translation comparison) the first thing I do is transfer all of my notes. Yes, I am one of those people who writes in her Bible. I also carry a notebook with me to take notes in. When transferring all the notes written in my Bible, I move page by page so that I do not miss anything. I am in the midst of doing this right now actually. This has become a good exercise for me. It allows me to review those things I had learned previously and to remind myself of the truths. Some things were forgotten and it is great to relearn them. It is also a way to see where in the Word I have been neglectful. Like no notes at all in Leviticus, maybe I should study there more often! It is good to be reminded of the time when God first showed me something and to remember the trial I was going through at that time and to remember how God carried me through. As I read the Word and meditate upon it, it is a good thing
Most wrestling schools have problems.Most are like used car salesmen. They just want your money and don't care about you.Many are inexperienced.Many were good wrestlers, but don't know anything about business and most will fail.Many are frauds.Ten years ago schools only had to teach moves and promos.And, WWE ECW TNA and others were competing for talent.TODAY, it has all changed.FOR A SCHOOL TO BE SAFE FOR YOU TO ATTEND it must:BE OPEN FOUR YEARS OR MORE: 99% of new wrestling schools fail in their first three years. Their trainees lose all their money. Over 500 failed between 2002 and 2007. So, whatever else they promise, if a school is less than four years old, you should run away as fast as you can. Because chances are they will fail and you will be out and lose all your money. We have had 100s of these reported by devastated students.HAVE 25 or more STUDENTS.

In the United States, however, it only features the year of the last major design change.

Bamboozled was shot in Digital Video, which makes the image flat, shiny, cheap-looking. Devoid of texture, it loses gravitas without really gaining intimacy. I got past this, eventually, but it brought up the question of the importance of texture and its role in conveying meaning, in music and in general.How much of an old photograph's meaning and emotional (and perhaps artistic) weight comes from yellowed paper, curled-up edges, creases, loss of colour, gradual disappearance of its subjects and the thousand other disfigurements it might suffer? Similarly, the pops, hisses and clicks of LPs and the warm, muddy sound of music played on a gramophone are part of the listening experience.Photographs and vinyl add texture at the moment of reproduction, but music is a bit more complicated, as texture happens along with everything else, at the moment of production. Paul Desmond was sometimes accused of coasting on his tone: texture was seen as superficial (literally and metaphorically). Indee
In my previous post about the Agile Alliance Functional Testing Tools Workshop , I wrote the following:After reviewing existing tools used by agile teams: we identified software testing issues that have been solved (yellow), those that have been partially solved (orange), and those that have not been solved (pink). As I recollect, most of the solved issues were technical problems and most of the unsolved problems were people problems. Many of the partially solved problems were those for which I believe we have technical solutions but have not yet been integrated and presented in ways that best support people.In case you are wondering what problems we wrote down on these notes, Frank Maurer kindly transcribed them for the workshop participants and I have posted them below.Looking at this list reminds me of the traffic safety problem lists I made in the defensive driving classes I used to teach. As unsafe driving practices were brought up by students, I would add them to a list on the w
It's unbelievable that Jaki Byard's 1999 murder, in his own home, remains unsolved.Peter Watrous described him as "one of jazz's great surrealists, a comic who hasn't a moment's fear of disturbing the sanity of the performance." And, in his obituary, said "In his playing he spanned the history of jazz, and his improvisations, filled with quick stylistic changes, moved from boogie-woogie to free jazz. He was a stylistic virtuoso, his fecund imagination saw comparisons and contrasts everywhere, and his improvisations were encyclopedic and profound. He also had a sense of humor that rippled through everything he played."That is the standard view of Byard, casually flipping through an encyclopedia, pointing out the funny bits. I actually kind of dislike this aspect of his playing. Not because it is un-serious, but because it obscures the awesomeness of what I see as his "straight" playing. I wouldn't say that that is when he sounds most like himself, but when I am least reminded of anythin
Like a rusty dagger dragged across new silk, each makes the other seem more miraculous: how does the former not fall apart? how can the latter even exist in the first place? Usual gender roles are inverted: the trumpeter's frailty makes his every move appear daring, while the singer provides infallible strength. Or maybe those are the usual roles.
You can expect my normal asinine commentary posted throughout today's Lions game. Considering the Lions past history in "Important" games, and without question, today's Bears game is the most important of Rod Marinelli's short tenure, I'm not confident that this week's live blog will be pleasant experience for me, or the readers... But I'm going to hope for the best, expect the worst, and blog away.I was able to watch the Wolverines game in its entirety, as my entire Saturday was spent at my sister's place for her birthday, and then at Fishbones in St. Clair Shores. (Where I blew what little money I had on several highly overpriced, but extremely tasty, Bombay Sapphire and tonics) Yes, I spent the afternoon in front of the TV, but I did socialize with the family after the game. But a man has to know his priorities, and my brother-in-law's 61" HDTV with DirecTv (And thus, the Big 10 Network) showing the Michigan Wolverines was mine...

In fact, it is probably among the strangest cornet/trumpet tones I've ever heard. It is acidic, flattened, bitter to the taste, alienating and seemingly barely keeping a grip on the proceedings but somehow supremely arrogant, too, for example in the way he stands outside the ensemble on "Pumpkin"'s ensemble theme statement. It would be a stretch to say that I loved it, but I am really intrigued, almost fascinated.One—You have to have a healthy irreverence for what everybody else is doing; two— you have to be willing to take risks; and three—you have to be really confident that what you’re doing is for you.- Bob

The only-mildly-diverting war of words between Josh Homme and Sharon Osbourne has burst into something approaching life again. Homme has elected to not get syphilis or die, as requested by Osbourne:"I don't know what she is or what she's done. Has she ever made any music? No. I don't know why her name is Sharon. She ain't sharin' anything."To be fair, Mr. Homme, you don't appear to Josh overmuch. Who knew that characters didn't tend to reflect words that sound a little like your name.Presumably Sharon will return in about a week and a half with an equally witty comeback.

I know, I know, I'm letting my thought processes be driven by evil empires and their release schedules, again. Still, it'd been a while since I'd listened to On The Corner, so the imminent coming of yet another Miles Davis box-set (already getting mid-listen raves) will have to do as a reminder to put that record on. Also, the great Cellar Door box generated some good discussion, maybe that can happen again.I love that three of the four tracks are basically variations/remixes of each other, with the blaxploitation 16th-note hi-hat pattern as the common thread. There's enough variety to realise that it's not exactly the same thing the whole way through, but not a whole lot more variety than that. Who needs it? At the same time, there's so much going on, so you have funk, trance and madness all at once.I love that a single hi-hat splash can drown out the soloist. It's all about the drums and the collective tumult, ebb and flow. Some might take the fact that you barely notice that
Author: Giorgio AgambenPaperback: 160 pagesPublisher: University of Minnesota Press (October 2000)Language: EnglishISBN: 0816630356(R)An essential reevaluation of the proper role of politics in contemporary life. A critical rethinking of the categories of politics within a new sociopolitical and historical context, this book builds on the previous work of the distinguished political philosopher Giorgio Agamben to address the status and nature of politics itself. Bringing politics face-to-face with its own failures of consciousness and consequence, Agamben frames his analysis in terms of clear contemporary relevance. He proposes, in his characteristically allusive and intriguing way, a politics of gesture-a politics of means without end. Among the topics Agamben takes up are the "properly" political paradigms of experience, as well as those generally not viewed as political. He begins by elaborating work on biopower begun by Foucault, returning the natural life of h
I'll grant that the sentiment is telegraphed by the album's title, the Jazz in Paris series it is a part of and the cover, but this music is essentially Parisian. It's about flâner, the unhurried and destination-free strolling that may involve checking out an open-air book stand by the Seine, sitting in a café's terrasse or lying down on the banks of the canal St. Martin. Of course, Jaspar (and bassist Benoît Quersin) is Belgian, transplanted into Paris from Liège, but he has absorbed the city and it has absorbed him: according to the liner notes, his All Stars was recognised, in 1955, as "the greatest current modern small jazz ensemble in France."On the opening "Bag's Groove" Jaspar makes understated nods towards the blues by letting his intonation waver, attack slacken and phrasing float, but otherwise he is a crooner for whom everything must sound effortless. This is best demonstrated on his own "Memory of Dick."Another sublime moment of balladry comes later with "I Can't
The most intriguing thing about this album, for me, is the relationship between the packaging and the music. For many, this is a minor concern, maybe even a superficial one: the music towers above whatever thing (or, in the mp3 age, non-thing) it happens to be wrapped in. Still, ill-advised fonts, corny photographs and dreary layouts are painful, while amazing visual art can only enhance (and, in some cases, redeem) the music. And so-bad-it's-great cover art is an inexhaustible source of fun.Joanna Newsom's Ys probably goes overboard, but the cover painting, embossed outer sleeve and gold-trimmed booklet create a rich context for the music to unfold in. It's not just about the size of the budget, either: Erstwhile's covers are regularly fantastic, especially Keith Rowe's paintings.If this context provided by packaging was unimportant, musicians wouldn't title their compositions, give their group names, decide to wear expensive suits rather than combat pants, etc. And there wouldn
