Shaolin Kung Fu (Gong Fu) Academy Victoria
The Great Path will also enable you to develop and improve your will-power and discipline, focus and direction, decision making and action abilities, inner calm and tranquillity, breathing and chi, presence and force of being and much more. We practice a lifestyle art, which will help you in many aspects of your life, not just that one time that you may need to defend yourself; For these are just some of the spiritual aspects of Shaolin Kung Fu.
Professional, Not CommercialShaolin Academy is a Professional but not a Commercial Organization. It is run, classically, by a semi retired Martial Art Master of some 50 years Martial Art and people development experience. The quality of instruction, style and interaction is highly professional, warm and supportive; "We are not interested in fighters or making people into fighters" Sijo Robert Z states, "it is immoral and illegal. If you wish to 'fight' do it in the proper arena such as in a professionally managed, mutually consensual environment of an appropriate tournament or a competition ring, not in the street against unwilling and unsuspecting persons." We, at the Academy prefer to focus on the Quality, Style and Health Benefits of the art and consider the effective self-defence gained there from as a side benefit not the major focus. And there are many .. . side benefits to this great way of keeping healthy, fit and agile. Have a look below where we have listed some of the benefits of Shaolin Kung Fu training! Enjoy the Academy's Social and Friendly EventsThe Shaolin Academy environment is uniquely supportive. Students who have achieved a measure of skill and ability see new students not as competitors but as persons to help and develop. This helps both the New Students to feel comfortable and welcome as well as giving the experienced students a measure of Social & Humanistic experience and understanding of the role of Interrelationships. Although Shaolin Academy training contains an competitive elements, the students balance this with the competition with themselves. They learn to both function as a part of a group and gain a sense of camaraderie with their classmates as well as learning that there are times when you need to stand on your own two fee; by yourself. Class give the sense that the student belong to a greater community, not only because Shaolin Kung Fu has a 1450 year history and culture, but also because the students and instructors share the same healthy pursuit and experience the challenges together. Students of different levels and ages, although sometimes separated into smaller groups, also generally take lessons in the same room.

For a mature democracy like India, limitations of electoral system need to be addressed: Ansari
Vice President Mohammad Hamid Ansari on Friday said that a mature democracy like India could ill-afford to rest on its achievements and laurels, and must maturely address limitations of election management.
Speaking after conferring the "National Awards for Best Electoral Practice" on the occasion of the Third National Voters Day organized by the Election Commission of India, Ansari said: "Perfection is a matter of receding horizons. The experience of six decades propels us to examine it critically. This would show, firstly, that every citizen entitled to vote does not exercise this right and secondly, that the First-Past-The-Post system adopted by us, often results in the winner obtaining less than a majority of the votes cast."
He further opined that the conclusion is inescapable that a majority of elected members of the Lok Sabha in recent years, and even earlier, have and had won on a minority of votes cast in their constituencies.
"The situation is no better, perhaps worse, in State Assembly Elections with percentage of returned candidates on minority of votes cast going above 70 percent in several cases. When this percentage is considered alongside the average voter turn out, it would suggest that the elected representative may not, often is not, representative of his/her electoral constituency," Ansari said.
He said this system encourages candidates to focus on securing votes of a segment of the electorate, and thereby, accentuate or reinforce social divisions based on narrower considerations that derogate from inclusiveness and promote divisive tendencies and social conflict.
Lauding the efforts of Election Commission, the vice-president said that the high standards set by it in election management, are now globally recognized.
"In fact, the Commission is now sharing its resources on election management with other countries through the India International Institute of Democracy and Election Management. The aim of the National Voters' Day is to bring every eligible citizen on the electoral roll with primary focus on the newly eligible voter, i.e. the 18-19 years old," said Ansari.
Ansari also said that the 15 general elections and 350 state assembly polls that the Election Commission has conducted over the last six decades was a huge achievement, given the magnitude and complexity of the Indian electoral process.
This fact could be gauged from the 2009 General Election, where the electorate numbered more than 714 million and it was catered to by 10 lakh polling booths in which about 50 lakh personnel were deployed. About 360 parties put forth candidates and the average voter turn out was 59.7 percent, the vice-president said.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Jessica
"This easy-to-make casserole was a hit at my house! I used leftovers for part of it, which is always a plus, and it all went together so well. As for the pasta, we had a mix of cooked bow ties, elbows and spirals and they worked great! My 16-month-old daughter loved it, and the leftovers reheated beautifully the next day. Hope you like it as much as we did!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 pound farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 pound fresh asparagus - tough ends snapped off and spears halved crosswise
cooking spray
3 (10.75 ounce) cans cream of asparagus soup
1 cup milk
2 cooked chicken breast halved - thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
This is a good 'foundation' recipe, easy and delicious. I substituted cream of mushroom soup for asparagus and added some lightly sauteed fresh mushrooms to add taste and interest. Top with chopped browned almonds or crushed potato chips if you want to be really retro.
This was a hit in our house! I did the same as the other reviewer - substituted cream of mushroom soup (had on hand), plus added sauteed mushrooms. Also used whole wheat spiral pasta instead of white. It turned out great. Hubby had 3 servings!
10 Ratings
I made it many times with cream of asparagus soup. It is always a hit. This a salad and bread! Yum
I halved the recipe, I used only one can of Mushroom soup and a 10 0z can of chicken, I added some mushroom with the asparagus and sautéed instead of cooking in water, we liked it and will make again
This was delicious! The recipe calls for three cans of soup, but it is very good and not so soupy with two. Also, shredded Parmesan cheese can be substituted for the cheddar/jack. Everyone loved it.

Today's apparently a big day at Gawker Media! In addition to the beginning of the tenure of new sales VP Andrew Gorenstein—sent to Gawker by way of Conde Nast—it is also the first day former Slate columnist (and Observer media reporter) Tom Scocca begins at Deadspin (officially, now that his co-workers hate him)! We know this because his bullpen neighbor—sister-site Jezebel's Tracie Egan Morrissey—blogged about what an awful person he is to sit next to.
Ms. Morrissey (née "Slut Machine") took to her Tumblr on July 6th to describe the agony of sitting next to Mr. Scocca:
I don't know the name of the Deadspin writer that sits next to me now, but in my head I call him Personal Space Invader. Do you see that silver line all the way to the left next to his keyboard? That's where my desk is supposed to start. Do you see all those papers and that clutter jammed behind my monitor? Not mine. When he's operating his mouse his arm is so far up my junk that he could shake hands with my unborn child.
Gawker hasn't been that unsanitary since back when everyone used to work from home! Either way, today, Choire Sicha of The Awl (where Mr. Scocca's writing has appeared) then chimed in to help introduce the two:
Since people are apparently unable to speak to each other in this day and age, Tracie, meet Tom Scocca, who works in the Gawker office five days a week. Looks like the Gawker office ethos tends more toward "let's write a belittling Tumblr post as a welcome to a new coworker," instead of saying, I dunno, anything? In other news, you two have a lot in common! You may be the first to exercise Gawker Media's maternity leave; he may be the first to exercise its paternity leave. (Does that really exist or is that just a joke I tell myself?) LOTS TO TALK ABOUT. Or not, because after that, who'd want to really.
If you think this is bad, just wait till she starts blogging her post-partum depression.
Though I think in Tracie's, I mean MRS. MORRISSEY'S case, it'll be postpartum aggression.
Mayne yall is uptight and nosey get over it.
Mayne yall is uptight and nosey get over it.
Learn to embrace your inner comma enabler. (Nosy? MRS. as usual flung it out there on a slab. )
Learn to embrace your inner comma enabler. (Nosy? MRS. as usual flung it out there on a slab. )
Is that an office or a third-world sweatshop? Why are they sitting so close to each other? I've never worked in an office that was set up like that. I thought Gawker had money. (BTW – I just started reading Tom Scocca's so-far-terrific book about Beijing. "Slut Machine" is lucky to be sitting next to such an accomplished author, she needs to get over it.)

Something to eye this holiday: Lower-end processors in a large-laptop body
As Black Friday approaches and everyone readies their wallet for the next big holiday deal, remember that it's getting increasingly difficult to spot good laptop innards from, well, less ideal ones. We've made this point before with the most frequent culprit of the Black Friday Doorbuster...the Celeron processor. Many 15-inch laptops that are advertised at about $300 or less are practically guaranteed to have this elderly single-core CPU at its core, but in the case of the Celeron, all you have to do is keep an eye out for that Celeron sticker on the display model.

Asus UL30A-A1: A thin-and-light worth buying
Whether CULV thin-and-light laptops will ever fully find a spot between the Netbook world and the full-featured laptop world, they are most definitely a category that's growing every day. Dropping an optical drive and throwing a low-voltage processor alongside a long-lasting battery is the trend of 2009, although the low-voltage laptops we've seen so far have often sacrificed either build quality, performance, or value-for-dollar.
It's relieving to say, therefore, that the 13-inch Asus UL30A-A1 is a thin-and-light that we'd gladly carry around in our bag for a long time to come. With a sturdy frame, a … Read more
Asus debuting family of thin, light laptops
Asus is the latest PC maker to hit the market with its own line of thin, light laptops.
The Taiwanese company revealed its new family of notebooks at a news conference in Taipei on Monday. The ASUS UnLimited, or UL, laptops measure less than 24.5 millimeters (one inch) thick and weigh anywhere from 3.3 to 4.6 pounds, depending on the model.
Asus boasts that the laptops can deliver up to 12 hours of life on a single battery charge. Users can switch video mode from the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card to the integrated graphics to save battery … Read more
Alarm systems at risk: UL establishes a higher security requirement for magnetic switches
The U.S. product safety testing organization Underwriters Laboratories has redefined the security requirements for magnetic switches used in many alarm systems because some of these devices can be easily defeated. If your facility employs reed switches or Balanced Magnetic Switches (the high-security version of these devices) you may wish to review the requirements of the new standard. UL 634 has established a second security level (2) to define more stringent requirements to protect against covert attack. Current BMS switches are covered under Level 1.
It appears that only one switch can currently meet the new Level 2 section of … Read more

It is always difficult to choose a favorite item in your studio or workspace. Do you choose an item you use all the time? One you handcrafted yourself? Maybe you opt for something that is functional. This fabric cutting and storage table that Suzy is sharing with us could fit into any of those categories.
Image/Quote CreditSuzy
"The favorite item in my studio has to be my cubby/cutting/craft table. I made it using 4 sets of cubbies from Target held together with mending and L brackets. I put a cutting board on top and all done."

Note-In my family of 4 there is an HTC Desire S, LG optimus black, I-phone 4 n i use a BB bold 9780 along with an ipad-1 n i touch 4th gen.
The point is that I have thouroughly used the best of what each of the top 3 OS out in the market offer.
And i wouldn't sat that BB beats all, but if u remove the usage of game apps from all, then BB humiliates all. Hence I personally use cheaper apple alternatives (i-touch) for all the app drama n also save on a lot of battery which neither android nor ios offers.
Coming to bold 4, it is by far the smartest and the fastest BB in use. Please do not go for older BB bolds any more, as there are lags n pauses which tend to irritate the user.
This beauty offers everything, I wouldn't say camera is top notch, but then again it's a phone and camera is a secondary feature.(PS-it is good enough for putting up DP's all around)
e-mail and security are as good as ever, touch is brilliant and display is excellent, probably coz of the smaller screen size. Pinch & zoom is awesome, not that it's a new thing, but does make it feel smooth. Battery life is a good 14hrs easy and then it'll be down to some 30%, which is another 3-4hrs depending on usage.
I feel a keyboard makes life much easier and Bold 4 keyboard is creamy. Also the lights around the trackpad is nice addition, adding to the glamour quotient. And as a whole the phone is extremely comfortable to hold and operate.
I would give this phone a 4.5/5, only coz of the weak camera and probably a bit expensive by around 5000rs.
And finally guys BlackBerry is a fashion n style statement, if kept on the table besides u, will tend to attract attention. And then there is the evergreen BBM, without which life is impossible.
With this u will surely love what u do and do what u love!!
Go buy it!! ;)
This is the worst phone in the market in 30K plus price range. Reasons:
1. The battery sucks: doesn't last more than 4hours on continuous use after a full charge.
2. Creepy OS: Blackberry OS 7 is a 'biiig' flop. It's highly user unfriendly with even simplest controls hidden in layers.
3. Not a smartphone at all: Doesn't suggest last called numbers as u punch numbers in. No 'select all' feature for deleting
media files and documents.My 6000 bucks Samsung star is hell lot smarter than this blackberry crap.
4. No support for Flash: So no online games for you. Time RIM come out of illusion that they are Apple
5. Pathetic Blackberry store: No themes available. NO advance music player is there. No E books exist for this phone.
And for games, Only dinosaur's age Arcade games are there.
6. Erratic trackball (tested that on 4 models)
Verdict: If this phone was priced rs 10K,it'd been a market killer. But at 32K it's the buyer's murderer and plunderer.
I was fool enough to buy this junk, but strongly suggest you to stay away from it. Go for iPhone 4, HTC sensation,
Galaxy S2, -heck even for Nokia, but avoid this trash.
32K for this phone is way to pricey! I guess BB is charging premium for 1.2Ghz processor, increased RAM and OS7. But then that is going to be the norm in coming months. The phone looks and works excellent but then their are glitches that need to be fixed. For example, how can the web browser not support flash. Come on BB, that's the basic, isn't it!
Although BB are sold as professional phones, still I would expect an 8MP camera for such pricing. The touch screen is simply superb and give run for their money to Galaxy SII. Having said that, Galaxy SII is no great either. The build to flimsy and doesn't feel solid in hands and it needs to fix lot of Android issues.
Would I buy Bold 4 9900 for that price? No, I would not. I would rather buy 9780. That is more value for money for professional use and if you are not a great app user. For e-mail and messaging, Blackberrys are just fantastic.
For someone who's previous phone was the Bold 9780, this is a definite let down. That said, the touch and type is great, the feel of the phone is great too, however the short coming are terribly hard to over look.
1. The battery life is literally non-existent. It last for abt 4-5 hours max on a full charge, I've been reduced to having to charge my phone 3 times a day (The Bold 9780 on the other hand lasted for more than a day on full charge).
2. The Bold 9900 hangs, it doesn't just lag, it just shuts down, you have to actually pull the battery out and stick it back in twice for it to work. The issue isn't the new operating system(My mom has a Curve OS7) it is I think down to the fact that RIM hadn't really considered the way it(the OS) would function with the new Bold.
3. If you do want to buy this phone, wait and hope that BlackBerry rectifies it's glaring errors and short-comings.
Its certainly "the best" smart-phone in the market with a "keypad" on it,... the touch-screen adds to the magic... the form factor is simply awesome...you'll really feel great in holding the phone and you'll feel even better when typing with it...
However, within a month of constant usage you'll start missing the apps or the lack of it..especially if you are used to them in your previous smart-phone(s)... the constant news about RIM going down the drain will depress you even further on why you had to choose this phone and wonder if it has any future at all... you might have to console yourself by just looking at the keyboard and how brilliantly it has been built....
If you have really made up your mind on it, buy it asap... the sooner it is, the lesser your regrets will be(as everyday, there is either a news about a better smartphone or something on RIM falling apart)... all the more, RIM has released a few apps for free download to compensate its customer base on the recent 3-day outage and they will be free only until the end of December...
My personal rating;
Apps - 3/10
H/W specs - 8.5/10
Keyboard and Form-Factor - 10/10
Price - 4/10 (exorbitantly priced for Indian market)

The Bureau of Training and three other FDNY units operate at the New York City Fire Academy. The Academy is situated on 27 acres of land on Randall's Island near the hub or the Triboro Bridge connecting the three boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx. This training center is adjacent to 68 acres of parkland, an outdoor recreation area consisting of tennis courts; baseball, softball and soccer fields; and walking, jogging and cycling paths.
These facilities are also utilized by the Academy and its personnel, the location affording members of the Department the Opportunity to engage in their physical fitness programs. It also provides a playing site for the various teams and leagues that are associated with "The Bravest."
The 22,000-seat Downing Stadium on Randall's Island is just 350 feet west of the site and is utilized by the Academy for special presentations, gatherings of fire-service personnel, public relations programs and athletic events.
There are eleven buildings on the site, known informally as "The Rock." There is also a 200,000 gallon water supply tank, a suction pit for drafting tests, and a heavy-duty storm draining system to accommodate water runoff from fire simulations. There are also gasoline and diesel fuel pumps and a 300-car parking lot .
The New York Transit Authority has installed tracks and two subway cars-one old style and one new-in order to provide a suitable facility for the development of techniques for dealing with subway fires and other emergencies. This adds that degree of reality which seems to prevail throughout the entire complex.
A Picnic-lunch area allows staff, students, schoolchildren and other visitors a place to enjoy a sunny day during the midday break. A specially designed chauffeur training course features a hill, controllable traffic lights, intersections and movable electric "pop-ups" which present the chauffeur-in-training with every type emergency situation. It is illuminated with street lights for 24-hour-a-day operations.
There is also a helicopter landing site on the grounds.

Impatience is a big part of my marriage. That might sound like a bad thing, but it actually works out nicely. My husband and I both feel that, once a decision is made, it must happen as soon as possible. Then we slam our gears into overdrive to make whatever it is come to pass, all the while doing the impatient dance because it's taking so damn long. We're a good team.
My dad likes to say I can't even wait for water to boil. That was absolutely true up until about five years ago, now I wait, but it annoys the ever loving hell out of me. And while I don't mind the preparation part of cooking, the actual time it takes for food to cook bugs me. Slow cooker? No thank you. Once I'm done with the slicing and dicing and stirring, I want to eat, not wait 45 minutes while it all bakes. And yes, I am aware of how ridiculous that sounds.
My husband is just as bad. He can't handle waiting. When we go to the grocery store, he will hop from one check out line to another if he thinks it will be quicker, and inevitably he will either move to a third line, or go back to the one he was in before. It never works out, and we wait the same amount of time or longer because of his line jumping. I personally resigned myself long ago to the fact that no matter which line I get in, it will be the wrong one. Him? Not so much.
But, like I said, it works out well, because we're both that way. Therefore I consider it a testament to our love that my husband willingly participated in the Halloween/Dia de los Muertos cocktail, because he had to sit in a chair for an hour, without moving, while I painted his face. If you knew him, you would understand that is a miracle.
Happy Halloween boys and girls. Don't drink and drive. Here's a little something to get you through the evening.
The Patient Man
- 1 oz Tres Generations Reposado Tequila
- 1 oz Meyers Dark Rum
- 1 oz Tres Generations Almendrado Tequila (if you can't find it, then substitute amaretto)
- 1 oz crème de cacao (or any chocolate liqueur of your choosing)
- 3 oz coffee
- Cream to taste
In an ice-filled shaker, combine almendrado and reposado tequila, dark rum, crème de cacao, and coffee. Shake quickly, then pour into tall glass and add cream to taste. Enjoy!

Backup to disk, what to chose DAS or SAN?
I am wondering what you think is the best solution for new backup to disk.
We have to day 7 TSM servers an all have its own disks (DAS) connected to the server (Primary backuppool)
We are locking at DAS for etch server or a SAN for all servers.
Are someone running SAN with "backup to disk" with multiple TSM servers?
Sorry for my terrible English

Everyone has a solution. This is what I have:
TSM Server with DAS for DB/LOG + 25x600Gb for Primary Backup + IBM DCS3700(120x2Tb drives) for Secondary Backup
The DAS is on a 6G SAS shelf (dedicated controller)
The DB/LOG is on a seperate controller on a seperate DAS
IBM SAN (actually 2 san and 2 shelfs) is shared between 3 TSM servers (More will be added)
Data migration path is Client-Primary(No space limit)-Secondary (Smaller than 40Gb)-Tape(Final stop)-= Trident =-

Why do you need to add to or change your disks? Do you need more capacity, or do you have a performance issue? If it's just capacity then I suggest you swap out your current disks for larger disks in the existing setup if that's an option that you can use.
As far as SAN's for disk based backup, you will need a SAN with the most I/O per second to minimise the latency. You also need as many HBA's to match the throughput that the SAN gives you, otherwise you will not use the available bandwidth, and remember that the SAN bandwidth will be shared by your 7 TSM servers. You will need to tune your OS for best performance and data integrity. This is a complex subject so you should seek expert help from a storage vendor or storage consultant in order to implement it. As a quick answer on the SAN choices, I personally would use EMC Symmetrix VMAX if you can afford it, then IBM DS8000, or for small scale implementations the IBM DS5300. Go for SAS / SATA disks and avoid fibre channel due to the FC bus loop limitations.

Tanks for the answers. Some of our server's and DAS solution is soon out of service so we have to buy some new backup to disk and double our capacity at the same time.
This is useful information so if any other have some input please replay.

Calexico resident Daniel Ramirez stands in front of his truck which displays images of aborted baby fetuses and names of politicians who support a woman's right to choose as he talks about his battle against abortion Tuesday in Calexico. (FERNANDO ACOSTA JR. PHOTO / January 23, 2013) |
CALEXICO — Pablo Flores was walking along the street Tuesday morning in Calexico when a large cargo truck adorned with graphic images of aborted fetuses caught his attention.
Once the truck parked along Imperial Avenue here, Flores decided to approach the man who emerged from the truck.
"I wanted to tell him he was a good man," Flores said. "It takes someone pretty bold to do something like that."
A pro-life advocate himself, Flores would eventually spend about 20 minutes talking to truck owner and staunch pro-life advocate Daniel Ramirez.
In the past the truck could be seen parked in front of Ramirez's home, which also faced a busy Calexico thoroughfare.
On Tuesday, the 40th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade 1973 ruling, Ramirez decided to take the truck for a spin.
"This is the first time I'm taking it to the people," he said.
An early-morning visit to Calexico High School turned heads and prompted a school official to ask Ramirez to leave. A couple of people had also stopped to cuss him out.
Backed by familiarity with his First Amendment rights, Ramirez said he plans to visit more Valley high schools throughout the week to spread his anti-abortion message.
Some of the more prominent images on the truck's side paneling show dismembered fetuses.
"They have to see it, not just hear about it," he said. "It wakes up the people."
A devout Catholic, Ramirez has been a vocal pro-life advocate for the past 30 years and is also against the use of contraceptives.
Aside from religious grounds, Ramirez said he also opposes abortion because the unborn child is receptive to the pain inflicted during the procedures.
"It's unbelievable that in the 21st century we can still do this," he said, referring to abortion as human torture. "Forty years is enough."
Since the 1973 court ruling, an estimated 54 million unwanted pregnancies have been terminated, according to statistics found on the nonprofit and nonpartisan Guttmacher Institute website.
Prior to the high court's ruling, it was common to find women who had relied on unlicensed providers or attempted to self-abort in hospital wards across the nation seeking emergency care, said Jennifer Coburn, director of communications for Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest.
While Planned Parenthood supports a person's right to free speech and expression, the most effective way to reduce the rate of abortion is to increase access to contraception and education to reduce the rate of unintended pregnancy, Coburn said.
About 5 percent of Planned Parenthood visitors seek abortion care services, with the vast majority seeking cancer screenings or information and treatment related to reproductive health issues, she said.
Its low- to no-cost contraception service averted 486,000 unintended pregnancies, preventing 204,000 abortions nationwide last year, Coburn stated.
"Planned Parenthood is also the leading abortion preventer," Coburn said.
During his time managing the teen pregnancy prevention program for Clinicas de Salud del Pueblo, Pedro Pacheco said he encountered a lot of misconceptions about sex and pregnancy.
When the discussion turned to sexually transmitted diseases, graphic imagery would often be utilized as a scare tactic of sorts, he said.
"There's a difference between what you tell them and what it looks like," he said, acknowledging its efficiency.
Although he noted that such stark imagery may elicit the desired emotions, it must be appropriate for the target audience.
"You have to be sensitive to who you're going to present it to," Pacheco said. "For some kids it might traumatize them."
