Congrats Devin! Patrick

KarateForums.com is a media supplement, too, don't forget. So when you talk about media supplements in a positive or negative light, we're in that boat for a lot of people. Patrick

Yeah, the Chiefs are killing it. They have benefited from a pretty weak schedule, but the Jets, Broncos and Bears have all had weaker schedules, according to Pro Football Reference. Of course, winning contributes to weakening one's strength of schedule, too. The Dolphins are tied for the 3rd hardest schedule. So I guess I'm happy to just be 3-2. Our schedule is going to ease up, but we still have to win the games. November 17 and December 1, between the Chiefs and Broncos, should make for a couple of interesting games! Patrick

Sorry to hear about your appendix! Like Evil Dave and Shodan melbourne said, I think it's best to go with your doctor. Patrick

This may be a silly suggestion, but will wrinkle release spray, like Downy Wrinkle Releaser, do anything to it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUx-wOXjq_I Patrick

The Chiefs have been impressive. I'm happy with the Dolphins, definitely. Coming out 3-1 with 3 road games in the first four games, against the Browns, Colts, Falcons and Saints, I'm really excited. The Saints picked us apart badly on Monday Night, but we aren't going to win them all. Interested to see how we bounce back this week.

Mo and Pettitte closed their careers off in a really beautiful way. It was amazing to watch. Good luck to everyone who still has a team to root for. Patrick

No worries, mocochoco. I appreciate what you are saying and thank you for bringing a different perspective to the thread. I would also say that people react differently and if you don't know martial arts culture enough, you might think this is maybe normal or you might not want to embarrass your son by jumping onto the mat, etc. I mean, I'm with you, if it were my son, I probably would have done something right then and there but still... that's why we're human and different. Not everyone is as confident, assertive or sure of themselves. Patrick

Welcome aboard, KyungYet. Glad to have you. Patrick

Thanks for sharing this, yamesu! Patrick

I understand what you are saying, mocochoco, but you have to put yourselves in the situation that has been described in order to answer it. If you have a child and your child's father/mother told you that they saw this happen with their own eyes, would you then disregard what your child's other parent (perhaps your spouse) said and get the other side? That's really the situation you have to answer. The question isn't whether or not you believe JASmama, that's not important. The question is, if you were in this exact situation and your spouse told you that is exactly what happened, what would you next step be. If it would be to get the other side, that's fine. (And it, of course, depends on how much you trust your child's other parent). No one is going to get tried or convicted of anything in these forums because we wouldn't allow it, we wouldn't allow any names to be mentioned here because this isn't the proper venue. But if you were in this exact situation, what would you do? Thanks, Patrick

Congrats Gareth! Thank you for all of your great contributions to the community. Patrick

Thanks for sharing that. That's pretty cool, actually. Yeah, there is a lot that is being done with ad targeting to help ensure more relevant ads. Of course, they depends on the inventory of ads. We'd serve only martial arts related ads if we could, but the inventory isn't there to support it, unfortunately. I appreciate you supporting the community. Patrick

Good luck, ShotokanMaster. Patrick
