The California School for the Blind has a Karate team. http://www.ktvl.com/sports/karate_1186394___article.html/pass_blind.html Pretty cool.

From the Glove and Mail:

Thanks for the replies so far. Yeah, there are a ton of threads where you can say what MA means to you in detail, but I thought it'd be different to have to say it in one word.

I thought this might be an interesting exercise. Now, I know you can't describe the martial arts in one word - or even a thousand words, necessarily. But, for you and for what they mean to you... how do you complete this sentence? "The martial arts are ."

For those that watch a lot of videos on YouTube, what are your favorite channels?

What video game consoles do you own?

Nice trailer.

NetNewsledger.com reports that a "martial arts move" led to a misunderstanding at Canada's House of Commons on Monday. See here: http://netnewsledger.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=667&Itemid=26 Thought it was kinda funny.

http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSN1631324020080516 Not every MA film has to be serious fighting! There has to be some light hearted stuff, too.

From the press release:

House, 24, Prison Break, Family Guy and The Simpsons (going from shows I watch that are still producing new shows).

What are your favorite TV shows?

http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/ufcppv/84;_ylt=Ald5slzGoqfA5SH13JrHWFtZEo14 The fights are: BJ Penn vs. Sean Sherk Wanderlei Silver vs. Keith Jardine Wilson Gouveia vs. Goran Reljic Tito Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida Thiago Silva vs. Antonio Mendes Who do you think will win?

Welcome aboard.

From this press release:

http://www.wztv.com/template/inews_wire/wires.regional.tn/37d80624-www.fox17.com.shtml The bill has passed a Senate Finance Committee vote and will now go for a full senate vote.

Yep, this sort of thing happens in all areas of life. For anyone who has played little league baseball, the phrase "coach's son" may cause a similar reaction. Not every coach is guilty of showing that sort of favoritism, though.

I don't see why not. But, I did kinda mean on screen.

If so, which ones?

Do you read eBooks? I prefer paper books for whatever reason. The Kindle is interested because of the screen, but repurchasing books (plus the price of the unit itself) is an issue...

I don't carry all that much, honestly. Usually all I have is my wallet. I might take my Nokia N810 if I had reason to.

Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms here!

What gadgets do you carry with you whatever you do? Could be a tech item like a cell phone, etc. or something not so tech.

Welcome aboard.
