My brother (13) is starting to get his braces. He got the top brackets put on the other day. I have also had braces, which have been off for a few years.

KickChick, I do not want paste threads of MA books. Because they are not of the same focus. Those threads were just regular threads where this one people are asked to recommend books that they absolutely stand behind as great books. So, those threads do not do me much good. Appreciate the idea though. Also, this thread isn't for discussing books etc. and etc. It is for simply listing books under the pretences given above. Thank you.

Monkey is correct. White Belt 0 Yellow Belt 25 Orange Belt 100 Blue Belt 250 Green Belt 350 Purple Belt 500 Brown Belt 600 Red Belt 750 Pre-Black Belt 850 Black Belt 1000 Welcome to the site.

Actually, the Survivor rank probably should have come off by now. It was only for a month. Back to the default belt.

Now, which Martial Arts related books do you recommend? Please provide a book and author if you can. Don't worry if a book has already been mentioned. If you recommended it, mention it as well! Just post the books that you REALLY TRULY recommend. This will be for a new feature on the site, we will be listing all of the books as well as who recommends them, so you will be accountable.

hobbitbob, All forums have threads such as this. It is the nature of discussion when two people have opinions that they are not willing to back down on. Doesn't make us any better or any worse. Otherwise, It is best to try to respond to all posts with respect, whether it is returned or not. Possibly respect isn't the right word - decency is another. Anyway, this thread has gone off the mark and now think it is time for a break. Thanks.

It will, indeed be on MA books.

It won't be a new forum, but it will be a new page/section none the less. Thanks.

Well, that is part of it, yes. (If you mean the idea I spoke of on the recommended books thread... no, that isn't it. ) Thanks.

Interesting.

Basically, the Location stat is based on what people put in the location field. So, Texas and TeXaS would register as different things. So, its not really a good indicator of anything as most of our users are US based.

Welcome.

Hey! This thread gives me an idea for a new section! Cool. More info will come within the next few days.

I will be integrating some Amazon.com MA books feature into our homepage. You will be able to click on the Amazon.com logo and buy books and we'll get a few pennies. lol

Probably gonna go to college. But, I am looking for a part time job. As well as my network, which includes this site, is kind of a "job." It has always been built to be a business (the network), so just the cultivation of revenue is needed.

Well, I mean that I don't place a high value on college, but that it should be of great assistance in getting a job (depending on your field). I know that I am going to do something in Technology, Finance, Journalism (or Sports ).

What online stores have you shopped at in the past 12 months? MA and Non MA. Working on a Retail section for the site. Thanks.

I am probably going to be going college. To do what, I don't know.

Yeah, I do that too.

We will probably have cheaper advertising areas, as well, monkeygirl. If you do not have your own logo or graphic we can design one. I am a designer, if you didn't know. http://www.ifroggydesign.com It would be done free of charge. You can or cannot use a graphic. It will be up to the advertiser entirely. It could be a logo or a picture of the product... or anything. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Welcome.

Today we have two chat events! 4 PM EDT (9 PM GMT) and 9 PM EDT (2 AM GMT Friday)!
