I did Tae Kwon Doe for 5 years and continued on and off since 05. My brother has been doing it 9 years now. If there's anything I know about tkd it is that people who talk smack stop talking once they feel like they may be talkin to blackbelts. I've never had to throw a punch in my life (except at my bro) but the training i recieved makes me confident that if I had to fight I have an arsenal that not only includes kicks, but punches and grappling techniques as well as the ability to assess the situation and decide what kind of fight I want to get into(ground, close and dirty, fancy quick, etc.). However, because my instructors made sure to teach other styles that offered weapons when TKD had nothing real to offer, I have a diversified cache of weapons. Remember TKD is kicking, lots of kicking, high and fancy or low and dirty...all of which are designed to permanently disable your opponent and the effects will be devastating.

Dood the Broncos firing mike Channahan was definitely a stupid move. Mike has always been one of the most innnovative coaches in the league last year coming up with an entirely new way to freeze a kicker that a nmber of other coaches immediatly picked up... Wade Phillips however has done an amazing job this season when you look at the Cowboys Roster and notice that over half of the team was sidleined or playing injured through most of the year, and the Cowboys Still put up more sacks than anyone else in the league. at the beginning of week 15 against the Giants Manning had been sacked 16 times and at the end of the day 24... When Wade calls the shots our defense shines, or defensive coordinator on the other hand... on a final note i would HATE to see Dallas give up Choice, especially after all the work he did for us when MAaon got injured... I will be a Tashard CHoice fan for the rest of his career or the rest of my life...Someone told me the Cowboys were releasing Terrell Owens which would be another stupid move for the Cowboys as his mere presence alleviates pressure from other recievers...Next year when Williams knows the play book and the offense is comfortable with him we'll see a LOT more of him to come and I for one look forward to it...Bottom line is the Cowboys Ddnt make the play-offs because of injuries... and a few key plays made it look a LOT worse than it was...

Honestly I don't think anyone has a chance at stopping the Eagles now, let a lone the Cardinals... -While the Cardinals shocked the world beating Carolina in the second round they really have Delhomme to thank for it...-The Only games i watched the Cardinals play was against Dallas where they broke my QB's pinky -.-... and then they only beat the Cowboys in overtime...-The Eagles took the same team in week 17 and my QB back, and stomped us by more than 30 points...-After the Cowboys, the Eagles went on to take down the Giants, who were given top O-line honors by ESPN magazine... -It's been brought to my attention that both of the Steelers post season games ended at the 1 yard line, not to mention all of them winding down in the 4th quarter, so if a team(like the Ravens) can get ahead early they should be fine...-The Eagles have Donavan McNabb, and I just can't see Flacco holding it together once(if) he gets to the Super Bowl... Being a Cowboys fan it breaks my heart to say this, but it looks to me that the Eagles finally have a Super Bowl....

thunder dude i don't mean to sound condesending but i'm pretty sure the Jets were out of the play-offs before you ever made that post? also why did you quote me? that was lil bit confusing

My family friends and I used to play chess all the time when i was back in highschool, As black I generally play the French defense or a variation on the Nimzo Indian... I only played in two state tournaments and was initially ranked in the 1400s, I know i was able to beat 1700-1800 players as i played two of them and resigned after a bit (winning positions, up a queen in complicated endgame), but I had to be at the school dance >.<... My GF almost killed me cuz we were late... but I digress....Africa, are you sure you're a 2100 ranked? I don't remember all the international ranks but in the USCF approching master status...Willie, in USCFi believe the average on off adult player is between 700-1100....Forge if you have that game on ur site I'd love to learn the coding for it that sounds uberpimp! On a final thought I am blessed to be in the Denver community where Tyler Hughes is growing up, i met him when he was in 7th grade, when he was the reigning scholastic bullet chess champion 9-12 grade! and he was always willing to teach us...Oh and on another final note, there is a book called The amatuer's Mind by Jerry Silman... you can probably find it at your library buut it is an AMAZING guide to learning the game, I read it once and my game skyrocketed, after reading it a second time and analyzing it i felt unstoppable...

So one day my friend went on facebook and started a new group, I haven't joined this group because I don't do facebook i feel its boring and I like myspace more because you can custimize every aspect with html and so on, but I digress... My Friend's facebook group was called Atheists for Christ, and you joined if you fell into both of these categories: 1) You don't believe in any God (Atheist) 2) You believe that the idea of Christianity ( or any major organized religion) is good for society... I believe that MOST people are inately selfish meaning they do what benifits them, regardless of the benifit of others and that religions such as Christianity teach morals that otherwise would be completely ignored... Example: The Milgram Experiment, conducted at Yale by the university psychologist Stanley Milgram would place a person (Mr T) in a room with a button that would administer a shock to a person in the adjacent room (could be heard but not seen, we'll call him Mr L). Mr L, who was not actually being shocked but acting from a script, was asked a series of questions, and with each wrong answer, Mr T was to press the button administering a shock, each shock would be 15 volts more than the previous... Anyways, over 60% of the particapants(mr Ts) in the initial study, were willing to press the button up to the maximum 150 volts, all the while hearing the screams of Mr L. Wikipedia does a much better job of describing the experiment and you can find the article here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment i'm not saying all the participants were Atheists, but even if a majority of participants were faithful, think about ho much worse they would be willing to do if faced with real life situations where they can see the people being harmed by their selfish choices... I don't agree with the origins people believe we come from but I can't say i agree they cause more harm than good in TODAY'S society... and a final note, the originator of the topic mentioned religion being the reason for USA being created from war is far from the truth... -While their were plenty of migrators from Britain seeking refuge from religious persicution, a majority of settlers came as a result of failed (or successful) settlements aided by the British Parliament. - The British Parliament gave aid in hopes of expanding their empire, and reaping the benifits of a new Economy. - The American Revolution came about when these new colonies were being ruled over with out any form of fir representation, The british Parliament was imposing tariffs and taxes on these colonists, without giving them any representation in Parliament. (Ex: Stamp Act, Tea Tax) - These unfair taxes coupled with a few unfortunate skirmishes between the British military and irate colinists, skirmishes like the Boston Massacre, led to the eventual revolution... I just wanted to point out that THIS war was not directly caused by religion, i understand many have been though =)... Carry on...

the scaling, relief, and light are all on the right bottom half of the texturizer screen, hope that helps. Emerger, this seems like a very simple effect, and I saw that there were more textures than just the puzle, thanks a lot holmes i'm gonn chck these out!

Thunder you just made the Pimp list in my book....I used to play texas hold-em on pogo ALL the time, and I played Hammerhead pool there too... I havn't played in a while maybe i'll set up a new pogo account.... I'm never getting out of this seat again...

hi everyone, I have some PHP scripts written for my clan's website, written and distributed for free by Clan Overdosed... Anyways, I'm not sure how to get the site up and running, uploading the files, and then the website pulling them up, any help is appreciated...I've heard also their may be some bugs in the scripts, so if you're bored and a genius the file can be downloaded here...Apparently I have some editing to do in the config file myself, but other than those easy ones i really could use a hand =)...Once again any and all help is appreciated!

Okay here is my situation, I have a clan called Cold Fusion for StarCraft, and i found another clan that was willing to donate one of their unused scripts (they give these to anyone that asks ). Anyways, I have finally found an awesome webhost that supports php called Xisto.com ... My problem now is, since im not a php user, i have no idea where to upload the files to in the file manager, or how to call them up in my brand spankin new website !?!--My apologies if a similar problem has already been answered I've been searching for 2 hours ---Thanks in advance for any help!!

My last question is the account information, will it all be in the email, or will it be in an attached file on the email?

I just purchased my hosting package and i'm waitin for it to be submitted and approved!! I'm so excited i can hardly wait... If only their were a night time activity that would really speed up the time... OH I KNOW, drinking games!!! jkReally tho Opaque I'm impressed with the innovation shown by you and your colleagues and i wana thank alll of you, as Im sure most members do, for your hard work and dedication!Edit: Updated PostOkay, I'm a little confused about where to go to start editing my website, i've purchased the logic plan and got it set up, now I just need to know how to get the ball rolling i guess? Does anyone know how or where to go to get started on editing? Notice from saint-michael: merged posts since they fell in the same day

My favorite thing about this thread is the fact that it jumps from a post on 04 to a post at the end of 08....That said, Starcraft: Brood War is still considered the most balanced RTS game out there, with 3 drastically different races and nearly a decade after it's release.. which makes for a lot of innovative and fun strategies....When I want to play to win though my game is Halo 3 now, Level 50 in double Team, Slayer, and werkin my way up in MLG, Objective, Sawt, all of which are in the 40s...My xboxlive gamertag is CF DarkNova friend request me if anyone wants to play

Great info on the MyCents, although i did have some trouble finding it... I just wanna say that it is a really innovative way to get people to post kudos on this set up Opaque and partners....Now i'll just beh needing to find out how to aplly, or set up for hosting and I'll be happier than i a... fairly happy person...?

I believe that if a design is written in any script more complicated than html and css it should be copyrighted... I also believe it should be the responsibility of the creator to take the necessary steps to copyright it.. for someone to spend all their time learning and creating a code and then not take the steps to lay claim to me, is paramount to having invented a pencil and then leaving all your newly crafted pencils in boxes in the middle of a mall for ppl to take... Would you go up to ppl using pencils later and say, dood you didnt pay for that?... proving coding is as simple as printing out a copy and mailing it to yourself.. Bam USPS dated stamp proof of creation date...

We Dallas fans are heartbroken ....to go from 13-3 to not being in the play-offs stings, especially after a 3-0 start...just ask Bronco fans =)...Seeing as how Chennahan just got laid off... Amazing to watch teams shoot themselves in the foot...If Mike came to the Cowboys, even as a coordinator it would be AMAZING, The Cowboys are practically stacked as it is... Our only real problem this year was our secondaries lack of communication... The fact that over half our starters had been injured and missed or played games at less than their usual potential is the reason we missed the post season...Injuries destroyed our team, Our starting quarterback was injured TWICE and missed 4 games. Our first and second string runningbacks both injured (alhough Tashard did an amazing job filling in). Pacman Jones getting suspended and getting injured his first game back, Witten playing healing ribs practically all season and our O line was practically full of recovering injuries all season. The D-line after week 9 was amaizing though most sacks in the NFL leading by nearly 10!!Yeah next year the Boys will be back with revenge in thier minds....Next Season the Cowboys will be the first team to win 6!!!! [edit] They weren't the most sacks in team history i have No idea why i said that, they DID lead the league in sacks by nearly ten this season though....with 8 in one game against arguably the number one offensive line in the LEAGUE (The Giants)!

hmm I feel late, but I'd like to say that it would have been awesome if they HAD added that little fight scenario, even if only in a campaign movie sequence. Nowadays i am a HUGE Halo 3 fan with level 50's in slayer and DOuble Team, workin on it in MLG Swat and Objective =). I liked Halo 2 but they slow everything down a LITTLE bit for halo 3, so once you get used to the movement its fels reallly weird movin back to Halo 2.Anyways, now they ARE coming out with a little campaign add on called Recon, where you play as a marine fo a short campaign. It's gonna be great, and Ensemble Studios are working on an RTS called Halo Wars, where they are rebuilding rts controls from scratch to fit the 360 controller... Can you say AWESOME!?!The 7th Column will rule the universe!!!!

okay I'm gonna get knocked for all of this, But even though I'm not a big movie expert, I think this will be called one of the best movies ever.The acting was spectacular, everyone, from Batman down to his on screen immitators knew they were working on a historical film, and they delivered!I've been a Huge ledger fan ever since A knights Tale, and in truth maybe it's a good thing for his legend that he died. His portrayal of the joker not only practically nailed that of the comic, but he delivered one of the most believable performances of any actor, IMO. there's no way he ever could have topped that performance and he will forever be remembered as probably one of the greatest actors in history. kudos and respect to the entire cast that made this movie possible...

I made it to the horse whinnie, and then quit, i have no idea what it wants me to do, so im not about to type in 8000 words >.<. One thing i did get on the first try was the answer is the question in question 3 =).i pretty much called it quits when it said the anser is really big and it was n't really big or infinite. call me old school but i feel that infinite is bigger than an elefant and makes it more correct, im not saying an elefant is not correct, but that if the elefant is, then infinite is too...anyways thx for listenin and GL guys!

Im in Denver, Colorado, USA. It's always amazing here, We have... I got nothing, But it's always a pleasant place to be and fun things to do!OH!!! we're a Mile HIGH!!Also I recently declared today (January 2) International Video Game Appreciation Day! Spread the WORD!!!!!!!

My only real problem with the theory is that this mechanism that is supposed to bend space is still being called an engine. I would really like to think that once you acomplish bending space and time that you could come up with a better name than your typical engine... How about Fancy Object With Light And Time Altering Tendencies, or FOWLATAT for short??-BTW i recently declared today (january 2nd) International Video Game Appreciation Day! Spread the word and Celebrate!

dood i totally get it! That's amazing. How's this...- A neutron walks into a bar, sits down, and has a few drinks, then he asked the bartender for his tab. The Bar tender replies, for you NO CHARGE! GET IT!?!

I''ve only been playing since nintendo O_O, some of you are ooooooooold... I like the newer games better than the old ones...-Don't get me wrong, once i hooked up my NES, and beat super Mario Brothers 1,2,3, and the lost levels in 15 hours.... The old games ARE great, but i can only play it for its story line once, and once i have the game play down it the same everytime you play it.-I know its not this way with all of the next generation games, but the quality of the graphics and smoothness of its running with these graphics make it very easy to get into. Once you get over the graphics there are games, and i won't mention any names(GTA FRANCHISE), that don't offer too much of a storyline, but they offer online play. The online play pits you w/ or against other people around the world so everytime you play the situation is going to change, and really that's what attracts me.-I do however feel that there is a place for the classics. These games you can pull out with our friend or brother and talk about this memory or that memory or those times, all the while creating a new one at the same time. These games are classics for a reason, and today's greats will be classics one day for the same reasons. So all of these games on all the the platforms old and new should be celebrated!-I just decided to declare this day (January 2) International Awesome Video Game Day!SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!!!!!
