I read a lot, whatever is laying around my house and room. From movies to books. Been reading a lot of tech related books lately as well.

Unless you are talking about the aiki in my neck, I have no idea.

It is good to be back! We have some serious hosting troubles and we down for nearly a week! I know it was bad, I apologize for the downtime and appreciate your support. Hopefully we don't have to do that ever again (or at least for a very long time). Let's get the place rockin' again. We should be launching the articles feature within the next week!

US: Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham! UK: I Feel For You by Chaka Khan

Is it with the man?

Going off topic and out of bounds (guidelines wise). Relax guys. Closed.

Well, I'm 18. So that's 20ish.

Welcome to the site. Basically the options allow you to shut off the smilie graphics and bbcode in your post. Most people find that they leave these alone and never actually touch them.

Learner's Permit? You can drive while someone who has a driver license is with you.

Please do.

Oh... and please check your private messages...

That's fine, I just wanted to make it clear that the contest was not really "Best Article," although that is how it turned out since the eligable people only submited one article each.

ZR always makes me laugh.

I am going to get my drivers license soon, I haven't done anything yet, as I haven't had anywhere to go. I have the little manual and I have pulled the cars around before and what have you. Just a matter of time.

Welcome.

karatekid, please check your private messages. About the award, it was not just for one article, although that it how it turned out. If someone would have written two articles, that would have boded well for them. Thanks.

Congrats to karatekid1975! She is the winner of the KarateForums.com Writing Contest. Once again, thank you to everyone who took the time to enter.

The contest has come to a close. I will be reviewing the entries and I will announce the winner when I have decided. Thank you to those who entered.

This really isn't the type of thing that we want to have around here. Thank you.

Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone.

As far as the site goes, we were fine up until when I left on the morning of the 27th and we are fine now, on the evening of the 30th. So, between that, I wasn't around.

I appreciate that, Laurie. This isn't saying you can't write more, it is just to have one (somewhat) concrete day and then you can pop in another article when you want. Looking forward to getting started. I have just one more thing that I need, but I set up a bunch of things last night, so I am basically ready (except for the one thing) on my end. So, maybe we'll just go with 3, if no one else steps forward.

So, no one else then? Really, it isn't a hard thing to do. And I'd love to have a couple more. Thanks.

I just wanted to bring this up again, as we need two more to get this rolling. Thanks.
