I am unsure, but you may have the option of dowloading the asian support from the microsoft website? The site is here: http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?st=b&na=88&View=en-us&qu=IME+downloads

Not sure what you are asking for. As far as names go, English names don't 'translate' into Japanese the same way Japanese names translate into English*. So there is not 'translation', only a conversion to katakana script which changes the 'English pronunciation' of the name closer to 'Japanese pronunciation' and makes it easier for a Japanese to read, opposed to reading the name in Roman letters. So, Johnny is ジョニー And Amanda is アマンダ * Japanese names all have meaning based on the kanji they are written in. 高橋 = takahashi 高 = high 橋 = bridge Mr. Takahashi = Mr. Highbrige 松田 ＝matsuda 松 = pine 田 = field Mr. Matsuda = Mr. Pinefield

OK, let's see if we can figure it out. 1. The OS is Windows 2000 or XP, right? 2. In a previous post, I mentioned doing 'Install files for East Asian languages' first. You have to do that first, then add Japanese. The support for East Asian languages is 240MB and is not installed by default, as most wouldn't use it. If you try to add Japanese before installing the support files, Japanese, or any other East Asian language will not be listed in the choices. So, at some point, when you tried to add support, Windows should have told you to 'Insert Disk Labeled Windows XP, or Windows 2000 Professional'. If that didn’t happen, support was not installed. Here is a Web site with screen shots to walk you through it. http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Programs/AsianStudiesDept/Language/asianlanguageinstallation_XP.html Here’s another: http://seba.studentenweb.org/thesis/howto-winxp.php 3. Did you build the computer yourself, i.e., install the OS yourself? Do you have a Windows XP (or Windows 2000) OS disk; either the full version or an upgrade? Or is it a brand name machine like Dell or Gateway that came with the OS pre-installed? If it's a brand name computer, you probably did not receive a Windows XP (or Windows 2000) disk. What you probably got was a 'recovery disk' or hidden partition on the HDD with Windows XP (or Windows 2000) mixed in with the manufacturer's applications and drivers. Not to worry though, from what I can recall, those files are somewhere on the recovery disk or the hidden partition and can be installed. If this is the case, let me know and I will dig up the answer on the Windosw Newsgroups.

To improve my ability. It’s one thing to know a technique and do it well. It’s entirely another to be able to break it down, demonstrate it, explain it, and walk students through it until they reach some proficiency at it.

Pull-up are essential for back and bicep workouts. When doing back & biceps, always do back first. Start with pull-ups! Do all the same kind per training session: Monday’s work out, wide, palms facing out. Thursday’s workout, close, palms facing in. Every back and bicep work out plan on doing 50. First set, do them until you can do anymore …rest 2 minutes Second set, do them until you can do anymore …rest 2 minutes Third set, do them until you can do anymore …rest 2 minutes Continue doing sets until you reach 50. Don’t CHEAT! Don’t count a pull up unless: 1. at the bottom your arms are fully extended 2. at the top your chin clears the top of the bar When you first start, to get to 50 you may have to do more than 5 sets, actually between 5 and 8 sets if you don’t cheat. Something like this: Set 1 – 10 Set 2 – 8 Set 3 – 7 Set 4 – 7 Set 5 – 6 Set 6 – 6 Set 7 – 6 Set 8 – 6 Little by little you will be able to do more each set and complete 50 in fewer sets. Following Arnold’s rules, you could get down to something like 50 in three sets: 20, 15, 15. If you can get up to 5 sets of 10, you might consider adding weight, attaching a 10 pound dumbbell to your weight belt. This will make it more difficult, and of course your reps will drop and sets will increase again. One problem with pull-ups is the swing from your body’s momentum; this can be solved by: 1. keeping your chin up 2. arching your back slightly 3. bending your legs back and crossing your ankles

To add the ability to type in Japanese on your computer, do the following. Please do the steps in order. For Windows 2000 or XP 1. Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Supplemental Language Support > tick 'Install files for East Asian languages'. (You may need the Windows 2000 or XP disk to do this. If you have a brand name computer and do not have the Windows 2000 or XP disk, it's possible but a bit more complicated.) 2. Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Text services and input languages > Details > Add > Add ‘Japanese’ > Apply Can’t remember if you have to reboot for settings to change, but if everything works, you’ll see a little ‘EN’ on the task bar. Clicking on it you will then see ‘JP’ for Japanese. Selecting 'JP' will give you several choices for input, hiragana, katakana, direct input, etc. For Windows 98 Go to the Windows 98 update site, scan for updates, and download language support for Japanese. After the update, you will be able to view web pages and documents and input Japanese text. HTH Post back if you have a problem.

Oops, wrong thread! I was wondering where my post went....

That is a blanket statement that is simply not true. Not all MAs are based on religion. BTW, what were the crusades based on? Believe in God, or be slaughtered!

The answer is obvious. If you like hockey, marry a Canadian. If you like baseball, marry an American. If you like rugby, marry someone from England. If you like karate, marry a Japanese. If you like tae kwon do, marry a Korean. If you like kung fu, marry a Chinese.

Well, I do know about the concept of 'fudoshin' as described above through practicing aikido. But to tell you the truth, I don't know anything about that 'style'. I checked out the site, looks like a mixed style that just adopted the name 'fudoshin'. My advice, go there, check it out and see if it's what you want to practice. Best of luck.

不動心 FUDOSHIN True fudoshin is not a rigid, immobile state of mind, but the condition of stability which comes from the most rapid movement. In other words, like the steadiness of a spinning top, the state of perfect spiritual and physical stability arises from movement which continues infinitely and is so infinitely rapid that it is imperceptible. This movement is condensed at the one point in the lower abdomen. By putting everything into the one point, we can experience fudoshin and not loose our stability no matter what happens.

Did it yesterday! Here you go... アナ　パドウビチ オリバー What OS are you using? I can't remember if you can change the size of the katakana with the IME in Windows 98, it's been a while since I used that OS. However, the language bar in Windows 2000 or XP allows you to choose input methods quite easily by clicking on 'Input Mode' and choosing from the dropdown menu.

I’d go for the forearm sacrifice. Based on my experience playing with large dogs; Dobermans, Labradors, and Sheppards, the farther into the jaw you force your forearm, the less force they can apply. Dogs use their canines (the long front teeth) to pierce and tear skin and flesh; those are the teeth that do the most damage. The back teeth, much like human teeth are use for ‘grinding’. (I know that a large dog could take a finger off if they got it in the back of their jaw, but I’m talking about forcing it open.) Pulling away from a bite allows the dog to work with the canines and do damage. Also, if you pull away, and the dog thinks it’s losing its position, they will let go and lunge or snap at you again. If the forearm is forced into the dog’s mouth and kind of jams it in an open position, they can’t do as much damage as if they were snapping or tearing at you. One ‘technique’ I used to use with my Doberman was to offer my left arm, and as she would lunge forward to take it I would meet the attack and force my forearm back into her jaw. Then with my right hand, grab the back of her head. Holding her by the back of her head allowed me to keep my forearm ‘wedged’ in her jaw, not allowing her to let go and attack again or bite down with much force. Granted we were playing and she wasn’t trying to kill me but even with a bare arm, the damage was minimal. (No flames please, I never abused my dog, god rest her soul. She loved to play and would sometimes get worked up, and in the end start playing a little rough – this would always calm her down. Whenever I did this, the ‘expression’ on her face was priceless. ‘Oh s***, no way to retreat, no way to attack.) Imagine this happening on the street; you have a dog in a ‘headlock’ of sorts. It can’t bite you anymore. I imagine you could kick it or knee it, or as gruesome as it sounds, if you really felt your life was in danger, put out one of its eyes with your thumb. Also, if you could get the dog’s mouth shut, and keep it shut, perhaps with a belt or jacket, it would no longer pose a threat. The muscles for opening the mouth are weak compared to the ones for closing it. So if you could get a hold of it by the snout and keep its mouth shut… (I watched an episode of crocodile hunter a while back and the guy said once he had the mouth shut the croc was ‘harmless’ and could be tied off with household twine.)

Will you be traveling north, towards Hyogo or Osaka?

This might do it. 敬忠道 敬 = respect 忠 = loyal 道 = way Let me know what you think.

Wesley King Ulmer IV ウェズリー　キング　アルマー　 ェ in ウェズリー is half size. Stephanie Ann Hetrick ステファニー　アン　ヘトリック ァ in ステファニー is half size. ッ in ヘトリック is half size. By convention, the name should be written on the belt as follows: first (and middle initial) followed by the last name in katakana. [Note the first and middle initial are optional, but are used more often than not.] Personally, I’d skip the ‘IV’ to avoid confusion – with some one trying to ‘read’ the Roman numerals. EX: W. K. アルマー S. A. ヘトリック There are three reasons: 1. Names converted from the Roman alphabet to katakana tend to be rather long; you would need a very long belt to display a full name such as yours properly. Remember, Japanese names consist of only a few kanji, so a Japanese persons name would only be three of four characters long where as yours is twelve characters long, not including spaces. 2. Japanese never display their first name on their belt or hakama. First names are reserved for those who are inside ‘the group’ or hold a certain position in the hierarchy and are learned through contact and used when permission is given to use them; otherwise, it’s ‘Mr.’ or ~san’. 2. Displaying (your initials &) the last name makes it very easy for someone to understand that it is your last name, and lets them refer to you as Mr. Ulmer, Ulmer-san, or Ulmer-kun. Japanese people sometimes have a hard time figuring out if your name is your first name or last name, just as westerners have trouble figuring out which is which when it comes to Japanese names. (NOTE: Japanese introduce themselves last name first followed by their first name, opposite to the ‘western way’. Ex: ‘Hello, my name is Jones Tom’ instead of ‘Hello, my name is Tom Jones’. )

Kovacs コバックス The ッ in コバックス is half-size Rahman ラマン Lai ライ Sherwood シャーウッド The ャ and the second ッ in シャーウッド are half-size Those were tricky! There are no real 'V' or 'L' sounds in Japanese and getting the 'R' to sound correct is tough when it is blended with a vowel, but I think these will be OK.

OK, by tomorrow....
