Hi Mat
I guess we can discuss energy being random, unidirectional and less functional, or a more pure form of constant motion that leaves one stable and supported. It is NOT all the same. Nor is the spiritual path to mind and body in creating power.
I will never agree with Doshu with
"it doesn't matter so much what we're practicing as long as we're sincerely practicing
[/b] model. It's so neutral and useless....by itself it has lead to more wasted decades than anything I can think of.
That's my understanding: The goal is to take the essentially random, single-dimensional movements and make them cohesive and omni-directional. Through practice the goal is to take parts and make them more cohesive members of the whole. This is where it helps to go out and experience other methods, to find new things to consciously add to our movements.
Regarding Doshu's remarks though: I agree the part that only talks about being sincere is, by itself, not enough, but I took his meaning to include the necessity for interaction...for going out and directly sampling each others' training. I took it to mean, if we're sincere in our efforts to learn, we should feel what other people are doing; we can then take it or leave it based on whatever our personal values are.
It made me think of what you're doing, going out and sharing your training with a wide variety of people and methods of training; of your past comments about Ueshiba being a kind of MMA guy.

Dr. Whipple's review of the work of the Massachusetts State Board of Health will be read with profit by those interested in preventive medicine. Chapter 1 on the early history of public health in Massachusetts has all the fascination of a story. The reader learns, with the delight of meeting an old friend, that Paul Revere, the well known "rider" of whom he read and recited in his school boy days, was the chairman of the first board of health of Boston. Feb. 13, 1799, the people of Boston elected a board of health, and, March 9, the board organized by electing Paul Revere as president and Mr. John W. Folsom as secretary. Various health ordinances, either in the colony or in the town, had already been enacted, usually following some epidemic; but this was the first official health board to be organized.

The Good
What makes Cullen Bunn's MAGNETO book work so well is that Magneto is an older character who has experienced so much in his life, from World War II to the mutant massacre on Genosha. He has years upon years of life experience that come into play as the story moves along. Every event currently happening to Magneto, in this book, has a connection to his past in one way or another.
It's hard to root for the bad guy, even when he's doing a lot of terrible things, but Bunn has a way of really making the reader feel for the character. During the issue, Magneto tries to find the source of the proto-sentinels and while he finds out some shocking truths, it cuts back to his time on Genosha, when 16 million mutants were killed by sentinels. It's this wonderful back and forth moment that truly humanizes this character who many believe to be a monster. We see his motivation and why he's willing to go to great lengths to save his people. We don't have to agree with him or his methods, but we have to understand them.
This issue isn't as violent or menacing as the past two issues, but it's still incredibly dark and demented. As soon as the reader starts to side with Magneto, he does something awful. Folks will continue to read this not just because it's incredibly well-written and compelling, but because they want to see what he's going to do next.
This book wouldn't work as well as it does without Gabriel Hernandez Walta's art and Jordie Bellaire's colors. Anything more realistic and the book would come off too dark. Anything lighter and it would have too much of a comical feel. Walta and Bellaire are the perfect match to the tone of this story.
The Bad
The problem with this issue is that it wraps up a bit too cleanly and doesn't leave much to the imagination for future issues. While, sure, there are more enemies to fight and more people for Magneto to hunt down, others involved in the proto-sentinel project, it could easily end here. There's a void that the final pages of this issue doesn't fill.
The Verdict
It's hard to pick a book from these new Marvel #1s to call "my favorite," but MAGNETO is up there. It has a look and feel that distinctly sets it apart from the rest of the Marvel universe with a compelling character involved in an intriguing detective story with a bit of brutal violence thrown into the mix. This is a series more people should jump on. It's haunting and mesmerizing. Go buy it, now.

I have just installed your plugin and it's exactly what I am looking for and so easy to use. I was wondering if it is possible to do the following though:
1. Align the thumbnails in horizontal rows (5 thumbnails in a row) rather than as they appear down a list.
2. Remove the bullet point attached to each thumbnail.
3. Remove the border around each row of thumbnails.
4. Place the title of the post under the thumbnail rather than on the right side of it.
I am a novice at WordPress and any help or guidance you can provide will be hugely appreciated. If this works for me, I will definitely make a contribution towards your wonderful work.
Thanks in advance. :)
