The present invention relates broadly to low voltage lighting systems and more particularly to lighting systems used in stepping stones.
Low voltage lighting systems have been well known for a number of years and have been used for decorations of buildings, illumination of steps, and the like. In such installations the lighting system is installed and secured within the structures after the structures have been built. One such system is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,143,411 issued Mar. 6, 1979. In this system, which is primarily designed for illuminating stairways, the lighting system is permanently secured within an area beneath the overhanging edge of each step, with the steps specifically constructed so as to accommodate the lighting apparatus. As will be obvious, this particular apparatus is quite labor intensive in that it is designed solely for installations in buildings and the like after the structure is completed.
The present invention is not directed to permanent lighting installations within buildings, but is directed to a unique means for lighting stepping stones which are used primarily around the exterior buildings or within interior gardens, landscapes and the like. These stones are normally set within the ground area.
Further, the stepping stones are manufactured such that the low voltage lighting elements are placed within the stones after they are manufactured and are easily removable for repair or replacement.
The present invention provides a low voltage lighting system which comprises at least one stepping stone, and preferably a series of stepping stones, with each stepping stone having at least one recessed channel in the upper face thereof and a removable light source inserted within the recessed channel with the light source comprising a flexible, substantially transparent tube and low voltage lights within the tube. The invention also includes means for connecting the light source to a power source in a selective or predetermined manner.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a typical outdoor setting employing the illuminated stepping stones of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of one embodiment of a stepping stone made in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along the lines 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the stone of FIG. 2 illustrating the cavity location for the electrical outlet box;
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of a wiring system for use with multiple installation of the stones of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of one means for connecting the lights to a power source;
FIG. 7 is another embodiment of the wiring diagram of FIG. 6; and
FIGS. 8-20 are plan views of various geometric configurations which may be used as stepping stones in the present invention.
It should be noted that in the following description like items are given like numbers in the drawings.
It is further noted that the term "stepping stone" is used in a generic sense in that it can be constructed of any material which is sufficiently rigid to act as a stepping stone. Such materials include formed concrete, plastic, fiberglass, wood, and certain metals.
Turning now to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a typical installation wherein stones of the present invention are used. A grass area is depicted wherein a plurality of stepping stones 10 are randomly placed in a park-like area which is depicted as having a bench 12. As can be seen from FIG. 1, not only is illumination provided, but an aesthetically pleasant landscape area results from the use of the stepping stones.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of one embodiment of a stepping stone which may be used with the present invention. In this particular configuration, a single stepping stone 10 includes recessed channel 14 with the illuminating lights 20 being placed therein, as will be described in further detail. Power for these lights is provided through electrical leads 21.
FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view taken along lines 3--3 of FIG. 2 and indicates that this particular stepping stone 10 is of pre-formed concrete having upper face 13 and wire mesh/rebar 15. Channel 14 is formed within the stepping stone and contains light source 20. As illustrated, this light includes a substantially transparent flexible tubular member 22 which, in the illustrated embodiment, contains a filling material which is also substantially transparent. This assures that the lights will not be subject to any moisture within the tubes and also holds them substantially in place. As can be seen, tubular member 22 is supported on substantially three sides thereof by channel 14 so that the illumination passes through the upper exposed face of tubular member 22. Tubular member 22 is of a size so as to snap into channel 14 and be easily retained therein in such a fashion that it is still removable for replacement and/or repair.
Also illustrated in FIG. 3 is an electrical junction box 11 which is inserted into the formed cavity 23. Bore holes 24 and 24' pass through stone 10 into cavity 23 so that electrical leads 21 may pass therethrough and terminate in Junction Box 11. After proper electrical connections are complete, cover 16 is secured with machine screw 17. For wet locations the bore holes 24 can be sealed with any potting compound. This will ensure a watertight fitting.
FIG. 4 is a bottom view illustrating bore holes 24 and 24' which pass through stone 10 into the cavity 23 containing junction box 11.
FIG. 5 is an illustration of a basic schematic electrical connection for the stones. Leads 21 from the stones are adapted to be mated with electrical connectors 26 which, in turn, are electrically connected to cables leading through fuse 51 to transformer 50. The transformer is in an enclosed box 55 and has leads extending therefrom for connection to a 120-volt house current source through switch 56. This transformer steps down the voltage so as to supply a low voltage source to the lighting system and, therefore, reduce hazards while still supplying a pleasant illumination of the stepping stones.
FIG. 6 discloses a further schematic similar to FIG. 5 except that photocell switch 52 is interposed between the house current source and the transformer. This provides a means for lighting the stones at dusk and leaving them lit until dawn.
If preferred, FIG. 7 shows a further configuration wherein a timer switch 53 is interposed in the circuitry so that the particular time desired for lighting the stones can be selected.
Turning now to FIGS. 8-20, there are illustrated various forms which the stepping stones may take depending upon the area in which they are used and the particular design configuration which is desired.
FIG. 8 shows a circular stone 110 having lights 120 about the outer periphery of the face of the stone and includes a circular opening 130 within the center of the stone.
FIG. 9 shows a half-circle stone 140 having the lights placed adjacent to the periphery of the upper face.
FIG. 10 discloses an arcurate 180-degree stone 150 which also has the lighting substantially adjacent to the periphery of the stone in the configuration as illustrated.
FIG. 11 shows a quadrature stone 160 which again includes the lighting as previously described.
FIG. 12 discloses a sectional arcurate configuration 170 with the lighting adjacent to the outer perimeter.
FIGS. 13 and 14 disclose substantially square stepping stones 180 and 190 with the lighting therein, with FIG. 14 having a central opening 191.
FIG. 15 discloses a rectangular configuration 200 having the lights about the periphery of the upper face while FIG. 16 shows a partial view of a similar rectangular configuration having an opening 201 centrally located in the rectangular stone.
FIGS. 17 and 18 disclose octagonal stones 210 and 220 with FIG. 18 having a central octagonal opening (221) therein.
Similarly, FIGS. 19 and 20 disclose triangular-shaped stepping stones 230 and 240, with FIG. 20 showing a stone with a similar triangularly-shaped central hole there through.
FIGS. 8-20 include the lead lines extending outwardly from the stepping stone. The preferred installation requires that the stepping stones be set into the ground at such a level that the light tubing is clearly seen, but also at such a level that the lead wires can be led out from the stepping stones and buried below the surface of the ground, with the ultimate lead wires extending to the transformer. Obviously, all weatherproof connectors are used so that there will be no problems relative to moisture in the lead wires.
It is to be understood that the above description and drawings are illustrative only since it is quite obvious that the stepping stones could take any desired form and various grooved configurations could be used to meet any aesthetic desires. Accordingly, the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the following claims.

ATLANTA -- Frauds, pretenders: The Atlanta Falcons have been called both, and worse, this season. They undoubtedly changed some of those perceptions Sunday, with a convincing beat down of the defending Super Bowl champions that had to impress even their biggest doubters. Matt Ryan passed for 270 yards and three touchdowns, and the Falcons' defense dominated from the opening kickoff in a 34-0 rout of the New York Giants at the Georgia Dome. The win keeps the Falcons (12-2) atop the race for the No. 1 seed out of the NFC and avenges last year's ugly 24-2 playoff loss to the Giants in New York. A loss by the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night at New England would clinch a first-round bye for the Falcons, who finish at Detroit on Thursday and at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "They don't remember what you do in September and October," said Falcons coach Mike Smith. "It's all about December and January. We haven't played our best game and when we watch the game tomorrow,...

Board Game - 'Target for Tonight', Metal Wood Repetitions Co., 1942 Reg. No: SH 910486
- Summary:
- 'Target for Tonight' board game, consisting of a target board, cardboard aeroplane, dart-like 'bomb' and box. The aeroplane is held over the target board on the floor, and the 'bomb' is dropped onto naval targets such as a submarine, cruiser and battleship. The target board is pierced with holes, showing it has been used repeatedly.
The game was made by Metal Wood Repetitions Co. in Sydney in 1942, and probably used until about 1950. The donor's father found game in wardrobe in an old house in Fairfield. It would have been marketed during World War II, and reflected the bombing activities being carried out by Allied aircraft on Axis shipping.
- Description:
- Light-weight board, red, with nine large and four small circles arranged evenly. Large circles have pictures and name of target, smaller circles with names of ships and points value. Both sides of board the same layout wi th different circle types.

This course introduces the features of the V-Ray 2.0 rendering engine and demonstrates how to extend the range of Maya with its state-of-the-art tools, such as irradiance mapping, fur and hair textures and shaders, and stereoscopic 3D rendering. The course covers critical concepts such as creating basic materials, image sampling, color mapping, subdivs, and lighting, as well as the Render Elements, RT, and physical rendering workflows in V-Ray. Exercise files are included with the course.
As V-Ray is a third-party plug-in renderer for Maya, and not a part of the base package, a good starting point for our course would be to quickly deal with installation of the renderer, and its license server. This is a pretty straightforward process that simply requires we follow some onscreen instructions. Of course, first of all, we need to download our V-Ray executable, our install file, so let's pull up our Web browser, and we need to go to www.chaosgroup.com.
Once there, of course, we need to use our login to enter the site. Having done that, we can come to the Download section, and choose the appropriate version of V-Ray. So we want to go to the V-Ray for Maya section, and now we'll just choose the particular version of V-Ray for the version of Maya that we want to work with. In this case, we are working with Maya 2012, the 64-bit version, so we're just going to click to download that particular file. Of course, we want to save the file to disk, so we're going to click OK, and now we'll just wait for the download.
So with our download complete, I'm just going to double-click to run the ZIP executable. This, of course, opens it up inside of our Downloads folder, and I'm just going to make certain that, first of all, we run the V-Ray for Maya install. Of course, we're going to need to come back and run our V-Ray License Server install as well, so let's just double-click to run that. Now we get the actual V-Ray installer dialog, and from here, it really is a matter of just simply following through some recently simple steps.
If we click Next, we come to our end user license agreement; click Agree to that. also our end user software license agreement; agree to that. Now we come to choose the installation type that we want to work with. We can install a full version of V-Ray, and the V-Ray stand alone renderer, or we can just install the stand alone version on its own. I'm going to stick with the Full selection, and click Next. Now we need to choose the installation folders; we need to make certain that we are installing to the correct root folders for our Maya application, and its plug-in folders.
These are the Autodesk defaults, so unless you change the path for your Maya install, then these should work absolutely fine for you. Once you have reviewed these, and set them up correctly, again, click Next, and now V-Ray will install. Another Next, and we come to the final screen for the V-Ray install. Now, one option we have here is to open the changelog file. I would recommend that you take a look at this read me file. It is a way of keeping up to date with what is going on inside your current version of V-Ray. For the moment, though, I'm just going to uncheck that, and click Finish. We select our V-Ray license server information.
Now, generally speaking, the defaults work just fine, so again, I'm going to click OK, and now our settings have been updated, and we can click OK to that. Now, of course, we need to run our V-Ray license server install, so again, I'm just going to double-click to run this particular install, and once again, select Run, and run through the series of instructions inside of the V-Ray License Server install dialog. So again, just clicking Next, Agree to the License Server Agreement, choose the path that we want to install to, click Next, and a very quick install later; we can finish out that particular install, and that's it.
We're done. We have now set up V- Ray as a render engine for Maya. Now obviously, we have dealt here with a very straightforward single Windows workstation install. If we have a different operating system, or we need a more complex network setup, or indeed, if we are wanting to configure multiple machines to work as network render slaves, then we may need to check out the V-Ray documentation found at spot3d.com. In fact, if we just come to our browser, and go to that particular Web site, you can see here we have the V-Ray for Maya official help index.
In here, we have lots and lots of information regarding V-Ray, particular with regard to any installation problems that we may be running into. Well now that we have completed that, time now to move on to setting up V-Ray as our default production renderer inside of Maya.
There are currently no FAQs about V-Ray 2.0 for Maya Essential Training.

I don''t have to know how to make a better game, I only need to know where the "CANCEL" button is!
Watching the long (22 min +) video for this game had me almost weeping. It is, honestly, the most beautiful game I have ever seen. It looks like the inventory screen has a special tab for "ordinary" clothing. I wonder if this means that role-players are desired in Perfect World. Here's hoping that an English-speaking server gets up and running soon.

I totally agree with you.
I use to play lots of free MMORPGs, and some traits are, for me, essential. An RPG should encourage roleplaying, and this implies having good character customization, roleplay support as player interaction "gestures", interesting story arcs and strong universe settings... and lots of freedom, of course.
Unfortunately, most F2P MMORPGs leave this aspect behind in their games to bring us combat centered gameplay, reducing the player interaction in the game to almost nothing besides partying and exchanging goods and items.
This seems to not to be the case in Perfect World. I know many people does not care about it, but for me, character customization is very important, and Perfect World does deliver the best and wider character customization I have ever seen in an MMORPG. Being able to make your character look like the role you want to play is key for roleplaying. I tend to avoid games where you have a standard set of x characters, who are liked to their class, and you are stuck with it's backstory and looks, which are in fact shared by half the community.
I might even consider Perfect World gives us too many options, like turning or human skin green, blue or other strange colours. I hope players will refrain from using them, or do it in a creative way. Maybe the players themselves will see in this feature a way to tell the style of the player we are in front of, as I fear many "l33t" players will be creating oddly coloured humans just for fun.
Anyway. Character customization for me is important, and customization options for Perfect world are much better than those seen in many pay to play games. I can't name right now a Pay to Play hack and slash MMORPG with a character editor ala "Sims2"
As for freedom, this game allows you reach whatever spot you want, if it is an ingame solid model. You can go diving, and even fly. Fying is not new, as F2P games like Flyff did it years ago, but Perfect World makes it MEAN something more than being just a way to go from point A to point B. As far as I know, you can carry a friend with you -increased interaction- and, regarding combat mechanics, you can fight and cast spells while flying, so the hability of flying might cause strategic decisions such as bringing a bow or not with you, or atacking certain mobs or even other players from land or from air.
The world seems vast and interesting, as far as we have seen, but the places seen in videos do not look full of life at all. I hope NPCs and players will bring them to life. I am curious about how will these places feel ingame, and if certain areas are suitable for roleplaying. As we have not seen any of these, I fear there will be no taverns, or places designed specificaly to interact. However, If a place is suitable enough, I guess Players will make it interesting (pvp tournaments at the city gates, for instance?)
I really apreciate the effort of casual clothing. I fear, however, it will not be enough if the world is not encouraging roleplaying.
I have no idea at all about story behind this game, but I like the fact players are able to take part in the world by land grabbing battles. It will help players creating a set of circumstances to roleplay in, in case backstory is not deep enough (unfortunately, almost no F2P MMORPG uses deep storytelling)
The fact we have different races, with different traits and classes is interesting. Mainly because these classes seem to have been created specificaly to work with the race, so I figure you will always find a class to fit in whatever your race is, and you will use your racial traits as a part of your class. instead of deciding your class first, and then chosing the race that fits it the most (or the only one which it is avaliable to).
To be sincere, I find BeastMen to be very charismatic as a race, and charisma is what gives sense to having different races. I'd like the elves to be more different than humans, however, as they can't be distinghished at first glance, so these two races feel less unique. Having distinct races is great for roleplayed interaction, and while we don't have wars between races, I guess roleplayers could use races for their character development. Even if guilds come into play, a good deal of story guided events might be needed to keep the world running -mob raids and so on-
Today, I doubt a game can not fall into the "Kill Ten Rats" quest scheme, but I really hope this game gets some interesting backstory and story related quests.
Now, if we add true crafting into the equation -not "i give a +1 to this sword I bought by combining it to a drop I just got"- the game shines for me. I wonder if living just from crafting will be possible. This fact usually sets apart "combat grinding games" and "Role playing oriented games". I have little hopes about it being possilbe, however, as I assume many materials will come from mob grinding.
Obviously, I have not mentioned graphics or the combat sistem, but I think the vids speak for themselves. If mobs are different enough and classes are well balanced, I doubt this aspect will be anything less than amazing.
I am just hoping this game's english version is not ruined by bad balanced cashshops or deadly wrong publisher decisions. Finding a good publisher for a game like this is essential.

Yes, I absolutely agree with you. BTW: The philippine publisher levelupgames seems to have a very good reputation regarding translation/hosting etc.! So at least we can expect a good translation. Regarding the story part, I talked to an english speaking chinese guy and he explained me that this games is all about this large chinese myth "Pangu", so its very story driven. That's why he told me that I will not see much in the chinese version if I don't understand anything, because I can't follow the eseential storyline etc.
All in all I am very curious on who will host it in euopre/america. I wished levleupgames would do it, they seem to be very dedicated to their gamers.
For now I will try to get into the philippine closed beta, starting March 28th, so I can grab a glimpse of the english translation and go deeper into the game. I really want to keep the wiki up to date then :)
Kind regards,
Currently playing: Archeage

Because there's no mayonnaise in it, there's little risk of it spoiling on a hot day, though it should be kept as cool as possible. The rice will absorb more moisture when the salad is chilled, so you may have to adjust seasonings and add a drop of vinegar or olive oil before serving.

To jazz up arugula salad and give it a slightly Greek twist, Michael Symon tosses it with chopped fresh dill, briny Greek feta cheese, and kalamata olives. He finishes the salad with extra-virgin Greek olive oil, which he says has a pure flavor and is generally more affordable than olive oil from Italy.

The Arab argument to the world is that (a) the Jews are not indigenous and therefore have no right to a state, whereas the 'Palestinians' are and do; and (b) Israel's goals are purely imperialistic. By allowing the removal of evidence of early Jewish presence and pursuing the settlers' Greater Israel fantasy, Israel supports both of these false claims, feeding its enemies and alienating its very few friends. Netanyahu, like Sharon, has no understanding of the strategic implications of his actions and no realistic long-term vision to offer the nation. His unintelligence is leading Israel to disaster.

text: The Smiley wiki last edited by sofearna on 08/06/13 11:26AM View full history OriginSmiley ButtonSmiley was actually a rat that Ernest Fairchild kept hidden in his room, feeding him with crumbs and any food he could sneak in. For a rat, he was very well behaved, often times staying on Ernie's shoulder or scurrying around and eating dropped foodstuffs. Since he was one of the few things that Ernie was able to enjoy and love, Ernie considered him his best friend.Unfortunately, Smiley dropped through a weak spot in the kitchen ceiling and fell directly into Mr. Fairchild's bowl of soup. In his anger, he killed Smiley and scorned Ernie for keeping a rodent in the house. It was this relationship he transfered onto the smiley button the nurse pins onto him at the start of Evil Ernie's rampage.CreationCreated by Brian Pulido as a side character that had actually very little to do in the original series outside of being the conduit for Lady Death's energy that gives Ernie his Arcane power source. Originally drawn by Steven Hughes.Character EvolutionSmiley Button EvolvedSmiley had very little to do in the original series of Evil Ernie. He was pretty much static and a conduit for Lady Death's arcane energy that gives Ernie his power source. By the second series Smiley starts it growl and make occasional sounds before finally speaking directly on the page and becoming a voice of conscious for Ernie. Sometimes however he switches between guide Ernie towards safer options or diverting him towards more fun things. In matters of love he becomes very lecherous with the breasts of female characters, such as Chastity and Lady Death, often in his face while they kiss Ernie.Initially when separated from Ernie they both fade in power rapidly until Ernie starts to rot and Smiley reverts back to a static pin badge. But after Lady death gives him a power boost he is able to go much longer and can even walk on his crossed bones as legs where before he could only roll. He is also able to lanuch himself at characters, usually as a distraction in Ernie's defense.Major Story ArcsSmiley ButtonA ridiculously good natured nurse bought a smiley face badge that was meant to be a gift for Ernie after his rehabilitation. Unfortunately, Ernie's rehabilitation resulted in his apparently accidental death. Of course Ernie's death was really orchestrated by Lady Death to reincarnate Ernie as her Herald of Mega-Death. To do so she needed a conduit to join Ernie's minor psychic abilities with the arcane energy that she hoped to give him. Luckily, the good natured nurse pinned the smiley face badge to Ernie, thinking it was a harmless trinket. Soon after connecting with Ernie, Smiley is born through the arcane energy of hell! He then energizes Ernie and starts feeding him words of encouragement to kill everyone.In the Youth Gone Wild series, that Evil and Smiley first appear in, Ernie does eventually die. A rocket from Dr.Mary Young hits him and blast him into oblivion. Smiley though, managed to detach before this happens. He rolls around and stops in front of a financial backer for the rehabilitation program that created Ernie. Seeming like a harmless smiley button, the backer (Mr.Stone) picks it up and pricks his finger. He goes home complaining of a headache, and the last panel of the mini-series shows him breaking out in Smiley Face Hives.At the start of the resurrection series, Mr. Stone, who pricked his finger with smiley, is shown in court as being tired and slightly delusional. He is taken off to the side by Dr.Price, who tells Stone that if he shows any signs of madness then he will take him out. Stone lumps back over to his seat and is called to the stand (the trial is for determining the cause of and those responsible for the Psycho Plague and Evil Ernie). While rising to go to the stand, he begins to hallucinate multiple Smileys in front of his head and hears the voices of the dead. The voices of the dead come from within his own head as Evil Ernie uses his psychic abilities to broadcast the moans from the Endless Graveyard (Lady Death's version of Hell), and the hallucinations are from the Smiley button that somehow ended up in his suit jacket.Smiley Vs Cassie HackAfter witnessing Stone rave around for a few moments, Price rushes in and blows his stomach out with a shotgun. Mary realizes what has been happening and starts to criticize Stone. The Smiley button was dropped by Stone when he was blown back and now resides on the floor, laughing maniacally. Stone's body on the other hand, stands up and surges with a familiar green energy. In a flash, Evil Ernie is reborn once more. He begins individually killing different members of the courthouse and thengrabs two uzis from downed security guards and uses them to spray the fleeing crowd with. As is expected of Evil's victims, all rise to serve as Dead Onez.Having seen all the sweet action, Smiley begins crying out to be picked up. Ernie complies, giving him back his old spot on Ernie's leather jacket that he pilfered from Rick Young. Now it's back to business as usual....until Ernie begins to ignore smiley about 3 hours before the finale of War of the Dead. To show Evil that he is important too, Smiley takes off and assist some of Evil's greatest enemies in locating him for a last ditch effort to stop the launch of the nuclear warheads Ernie has control of. At the last minute, Ernie and Smiley put aside their differences and reunite to stave off the assault long enough to launch the missiles.In the events of War of the Dead, Ernie is destroyed, but somehow Smiley escaped and makes his way into the possession of Oblivia in her battle with Entropy that brings about the un-creation of Armageddon.Smiley One-ShotSmiley does get his own mini-series which are aptly named for the theme of each "one-shot" in his short series.

By Adam Siegel
Well, we've reached the point of summer when we can't believe that people are starting to talk about the High Holidays. As the daylight begins to shorten, members of the Beit T'Shuvah community are beginning their own preparations.
The High Holidays are a time of transition – a time to celebrate beginnings and endings, a time to examine the past and take up the work of the New Year. We prepare for this transition by coming together with ourselves and with others, and we're given the chance to do t'shuvah – to re-connect, to repair.
Each of us is a Holy Soul, which is realized by (re) connecting with our Source. Engaging in t'shuvah teaches us that we are not perfect…and that we can make amends, be forgiven, and commit ourselves to new responses. The rabbis instruct us to do t'shuvah every day of our lives, but we may often neglect this. Elul, the month preceding the High Holidays, offers us the opportunity to take up this type of work.
For over twenty-five years, Beit T'Shuvah has helped thousands of people examine and embrace all parts of themselves as they pursue a path of decency. As we all know, growth on this path requires our willingness to engage in t'shuvah. Drawing upon our rich tradition of text and commentary, Beit T'Shuvah has developed a unique framework for helping people understand and actively engage in this process. We will be hosting a workshop, open to the greater community, which will provide participants with a toolkit— through study, exploration, and planning— to hold and guide us through this process.
Each of us must find our own path on our journey to wholeness, to mending our brokenness. This workshop will provide the practical knowledge and support to begin our preparations. We hope you will join us on the journey towards t'shuvah.
Here's a link for more info and online registration:
TIME: 10am to pm

Cheese and Chocolate
Hi! I've been in Boston for about 6 years, teaching preschool and Hebrew School. I've added to my life a Master Degree, a post-Master's certification, a great trip to Israel, several good friends. I find that I'm always looking for more educational opportunities to bolster myself professionally and academically. I am gentle, creative, thoughtful, and spunky at times. My friends tell me that I am "at my best" when I'm having them over for dinner, and my coworkers know me as methodical and responsible. I'm the one who has a camera wherever we go, and I also always have emergency chocolate. I like taking walks in nice weather, watching movies and TV on my couch, working out at the gym, reading before bed, pilates, cooking dinner and desserts. Sometimes I park far away from the door just to get a few more steps of exercise, and I'd rather take the stairs (unless it's more than 5 floors). I like to be early to something where responsibility is involved but casually late to social events. I prefer small groups of friends to huge crowds. I get easily and happily distracted at Staples, Target, and Costco. I also ride the shopping cart at Costco down at least one aisle and say "wheeee!" As for you, you are kind and generous, confident but humble, intelligent, empathetic, eager to continuously improve yourself, patient, tactful, a true gentleman, and you have good manners. You might play the guitar, too :-), and if you can teach me, that's even better. I look forward to meeting you!
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts

I grew up with a dog and would like to get one one day. Fish are fun, too... did you know they lower your blood pressure, just by watching them?

How are drugs able to affect brain chemicals?
Often, the chemical structure of drugs is similar to brain chemicals or neurotransmitters. Similarity in structure allows them to be recognized by neurons and to alter normal brain messages. Illustrated above is THC, the active ingredient found in marijuana. It's chemical structure is highly similar to anandamide, which is involved in a variety of functions including regulation of pain, appetite, memory, and mood.

I've seen grappling tournaments and in my opinion they are pretty boring. They should not put grappling in the Olympics. They should not put any more fighting styles in the Olympics.

Grappling (No-Gi and Gi) brings together wrestling takedowns and brazilian jiu jitsu submissions/positions ; it is a style with great emphasis on ground fighting. In Grappling, takedowns ad throws = only 1 point. No-Gi Grappling is fast and isn't boring.
This style is very complementary to Freestyle and Greco Roman Wrestling.
Pancrazio athlima in my opinion isn't a combat sport .

But I don't think the issue here is with FILA, it's really the IOC that is capping the number or participants in the Olympics. They let sports like swimming have multiple entrants per country, and in multiple styles (freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly) as well as various distances. So why can't wrestling have freestyle, greco, women, grappling, beach wrestling, and other styles?
I think the IOC needs to change their policy about capping the number of participants in the Olympic games. Either that, or FILA needs to create its own pinnacle event, like how soccer has a world cup, and be able to have as many weights and as many styles as they want since the IOC wouldn't have control over that.
What FILA is doing is opening competitive combat to more participants. Many people do grappling but not other events that FILA holds, but with FILA adding grappling into their program, more people have the opportunity to showcase their skills
