There is a global health alert out now..... the World Health Org is warning travellers to avoid Hong Kong and the southern Chinese province of Guangdong. So what is SARS??? (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) It is the name being used to describe the serious disease with pneumonia-like symptoms that first emerged in southern China last year but has since gone on to cause deaths in Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand and Canada. Cases (including three in Britain) have been confirmed in many other countries, mostly among people who had travelled to affected areas of Asia. There is no vaccine or cure! Antibiotics and antiviral treatments have been used to combat the symptoms, but until the cause is determined, investigation on specific treatments cannot begin. The theory is that it is caused by a coronavirus, often the cause of the common cold, which can spread quickly but for which there is no cure. "The family of viruses was first identified in chicken in 1937 and can cause serious illness in a range of animals including cows, pigs, rats, cats and dogs. SARS might therefore turn out to be a zoonosis - an animal disease that threatens humans, too. Traces of paramyxovirus, of the same family of viruses found in measles and mumps, have also been reported by some laboratories. Some scientists speculate that the two viruses have been working together, others that the paramyxovirus is occurring as the result of secondary, unrelated, infections." How many people have been infected? ...About 2300 so far, with nearly 80 deaths - a fatality rate of between 3% and 4%. 6 deaths in Canada... none so far in US

Chicks like guys that do Tae kwon do!

What would we do without http://www.carbonecho.com ??? .... I guess we are going to find out! Since I've been using that site in the past years it has gone down for over a week in order to do major maintenance, but unfortunately the site has "died a painful death"..... I will try to find out more for you! http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/contrib/fk/madamy.gif

OK I sent over some info on the Warrior Diet to you ... but in all honesty, I really don't think that particular diet is realistic for you at this time. I will do SaiFightsMS one better on that suggestion of hers .... I have this nifty little item calle the Diet Coach (I suppose you can also get PDA software that will do almost the same thing if you have one). Now everyone here knows I hate the word DIET or what it means ... but I use this to track what I eat.... protein, carbs, fats and total calories. http://www.swankliving.com/ I love this nutritional calculator!! not pricey either!!

Well I guess I am in agreement with two other people so far ... definitely "both"

Here you'll get reviews of Hong Kong/Taiwan/mainland China-produced kung fu and action films from all erasHere they are analyzed for quality and quantity of martial arts content....styles are defined and distinguished between flashy fight stuntwork, and "the real stuff". :up:

Came across this clip today from Dave Chappelles comedy show ... the REAL GTA3 http://www.tuvok3of11.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/gta4real.mpg

Besides the 'obvious' here..... Was anyone on the receiving end of a practical joke today?? C'mon SHARE!!

... yeah, I'm a little confused too! .... this "peep" along with many other TKD "peeps" here do kick and actually use our hands

That is one of my favorite combos to work on the wavemaster. Actually we have "kick goal" at our school to see just how many front-round combos one can do without landing. It goes like this... Left foot forward, Front kick off back leg(right) throwing an immediate roundhouse off front leg (left) and an immediate front with back leg again.... and if you're "up" to it another roundhouse off front!

Happy April Fool's Day to everyone http://216.40.249.192/s/ups/kamikaze/box.gif ...
