Windows Server 2012 is here, and like many of you who have downloaded it and tested it, I have been messing around with the new operating system for a while now. I've been exploring new features and capabilities, some of which I like, and others I don't care for all that much. All in all, however, I think both Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 will be successful over time and I say that because the user experience will take some getting used to.
Once you install the new OS, many will be taken aback and will find navigating and finding old tools and utilities a bit of a challenge. I expect many administrators will be looking for a way to change the new Metro style and trade it in for the traditional Windows Start Menu. The good news is that we can tweak the user interface in Windows Server 2012 to get really close to what a Windows Server 2008 would look like, with the caveat that you will not get everything back. I think Microsoft is trying to push everyone to adopt the new interface and it will be successful over time in accomplishing this, especially if the upcoming Surface tablets takes off.
Let's take a look at what we need to do in order to make the changes:
Figure 1. Roles and features wizard. (Click image to view larger version.)
Let's tackle the Desktop Experience. First, in order to gain access to icons like My Computer, Control Panel and many of the traditional features we have been using for years (and keep in mind that when I say gain access, I mean gain access the traditional way -- all the tools still exist; you simply have to learn to access them the new way), follow these steps:
Even a simple power operation like restart takes some getting used to, so in order to restart your server follow these steps:
Once the server comes back up, you can right-click on your desktop and click on Personalize in order to configure our icons. Select Change desktop icons and add the icons you want to your desktop.
If Server Manager is annoying you every time Windows starts and you want to prevent it from automatically starting, do the following:
At this point your desktop will look pretty close to what what you're used to in Windows Server 2008. I recommend creating shortcuts for some of your favorite tools and utilities and adding them to the desktop. For those of you who like the simplicity of the traditional Start Menu and user interface, in future blogs I will walk through further customizations that will make Windows Server 2012 a bit more friendly.

Nice to move on to new interfaces for us techies. But for those of us who work in an Enterprise environment - have to consider the cost of training and supporting thousands of users. Am currently building new RDS servers and will enable the start menu...
Get used to the times and move on -adapt and change with the times.
Lets see - we used to have a hierarchical menu with every option within a few levels. Having a hierarchy enables you to organise vastly larger amounts of data into bite sized pieces. It's why we don't put every piece of data in the root folder, instead organising via sub folders. Now some idiot thinks that this is all old hat and wants everything flat on the desktop- or worse still, you have to know the name of everything and search for it. Since seeing many of the newer Miscrosoft applications becoming more difficult to use since Windows 7, I have had this consistent cry "The entire UI design team in Microsoft needs to be sacked!" I see no reason to change this now.
All sysadmins needs to buy tablet to manage their servers now. lazy engineers..copy and paste from Win8 codes.
Rataplan_, it's 2013, and you still install something on big black boxes called servers? get yourself a tablet or smartphone with 192Gb RAM, 8 xeons and few terabytes of internal mirrored storage..
Windows *8* <-- jokish. Particularly since it is really windows 6.2 haha .Microsoft will always repackage their Os's in order to make a quick buck. XP was the last version of windows prior to release 6.0 <-- AKA ViSta . windows7 is a repackage, as is win 8. stop buying these os updates and wait for them to drop the real windows 7 as in 7.0.0.0000. vista was a joke and all windows in the version 6.x.x.xxxx line will continue to amaze pros with their nonsensical addons and fool the average consumers with their takeaways. hence no start menu and a complete fallacy as to the nature of windows being nothing more, at current, then a release vers. 6.x.x.xxxx . . .
If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
Who ever design new UI style must be a mad man/woman, same as Office Ribbon UI, I have not met anyone like both new UI.
The ensemble was created from many evenings spent painting brown beads fluoro yellow."The first thousand were the worst," Sandra said.Fashions on the Field MC Jeff Banks said the creation of the "brilliant" outfit was a great story that reminded him of mothers and daughters who used to spend afternoons together in London department store Debenhams making hats.
try this clasic shell out and get the classc start menu back. Works on windows 7, 8 and server 2012 http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/
Whoops pressed submit twice. Can't remove post, sorry!
Not needed to install the user interface component. Just as with Windows 2008R2 (and 2008) go to the search field (go to metro interface and just start typing will do) and search for 'show or hide common items on the desktop' and you can just check the ones you want. Having said that, I totally dislike the userinterface. I like the multi-server-managing features a lot, but come on... this is a tablet interface for servers...
The new UI is worse than giving someone a redesigned automobile with a joystick and no steering wheel or pedals. I was thinking of upgrading my backup laptop to Windows 8, but I don't have time to deal with the UI changes and program compatibility issues that may arise. As for the interface being touch oriented, I'm sure many people will feel like touching it with a hammer.
The issue is getting to applications that used to be two and three levels deep in the start menu. If you didn't have these on your desktop before upgrade, they are lost forever. Yes, you can find them eventually using the file explorer and read the documentation to re-create the icons, using exactly the right command line arguments and all the right properties, but it will take full-time weeks just to get a usable machine. There are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of commands embedded in that old Start menu and many of them have complex properties in the shortcuts. That's why the start menu was a good idea.
Elias, Thank you! I have worked extensively with Windows 8 and when I tried to get the desktop icons in Server 2012, I was stumped. Without this article it would have been difficult for me to figure out.
thanks for the insight elias, i can live with the metro ui but its crazy that you cant add my computer or network to the desktop without these steps....you can do it in win 8 without a problem!

Nuremberg/Stryj – In a festive ceremony, LEONI AG of Nuremberg today officially opened its new LEONI Wiring Systems UA GmbH production facility. Investing capital of more than 40 million euros, LEONI has built one of Europe's most modern and largest wiring systems plants in the western Ukrainian city of Stryj. In an area of more than 40,000 m2, up to 3,500 employees will in future be manufacturing cable harnesses for the successor models of Opel's Astra and Zafira bestsellers. LEONI will be the principal supplier for these new General Motors cars with responsibility for all the wiring of these vehicles apart from the engine and transmission. Pilot production for this major customer began back in September 2002 in a leased facility. The go-ahead for mass production will be given in October 2003.
Completion of the new wiring systems facility in Stryj, a city with a population of 70,000, has now provided the production capacity needed for this large-scale contract. This will involve supplying several thousand cable harnesses every day to all the final assembly plants of the Astra and the Zafira across Europe. Having built this new wiring systems plant in Stryj, we now have the production capacity required to meet these demands. "We thereby simultaneously met the precondition for further growth of LEONI Wiring Systems," said Uwe H. Lamann, management-board member responsible for the division. Accounting for more than 50 percent of total sales, this business division is already LEONI Group's largest segment. LEONI plans involve this major order from General Motors generating overall sales of EUR 1.2 billion over the full term of the project.
Choice of location as a success factor
LEONI Group, which operates globally with 60 faculties, has already proven its skill in choosing locations in the past. LEONI was early to recognise the benefits of locating in eastern European countries, having set up plants in Poland, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia, among other places. LEONI was one of the first German companies to opt for the Ukraine by building a wiring systems plant in the country. The factors in favour of so doing were primarily the reasonable wage structure as well as the availability of qualified labour. The comprehensive support provided by local government and authorities also had considerable influence on the choice of location.
Cooperation transcending boundaries
LEONI benefited from its experience in setting up facilities in other countries during this project. For instance, employees from LEONI Autokabel Polska, our Polish wiring systems facility that has already been manufacturing for General Motors/Opel since 1996, made a significant contribution to setting up this new plant. Some of the cable harnesses for the new Opel cars will also continue to be produced in Poland. LEONI Autokabel Polska is one of the most efficient plants involved in the production of cable harnesses and will pass on this expertise to our Ukrainian colleagues in the context of training schemes.

By KEVIN McCALLUM
The committee charged with recommending changes to Santa Rosa's bylaws has three options when it comes to binding arbitration of police and firefighter contracts.
It can do nothing, effectively recommending the City Council leave things as they've been since voters approved binding arbitration in 1996.
It can recommend that the City Council place on next fall's ballot the elimination of binding arbitration from the city charter entirely.
Or it can recommend the City Council put on the ballot changes to how binding arbitration works.
The third option is the one gaining the most traction as the 21-member committee digs into the thorniest issue before it.
Binding arbitration was passed by 53 percent of voters in 1996 after a strong push by public safety workers, who argued they needed it because unlike other workers, they do not have the legal right to strike.
It works like this. If the city and its public safety workers can't reach agreement on a contract, the issue goes before a three-member panel of arbiters who make a decision based on a number of factors. These include the history of negotiations, the pay and benefits awarded to public safety workers in similar cities, and the city's ability to pay.
Public safety officials say binding arbitration has helped foster a better working relationship with the city. Others say binding arbitration has contributed to skyrocketing public safety compensation and improperly takes key decisions out of the hands of local officials.
Several committee members said doing nothing is not an option.
"I think it's very clear the public want us to do something on this general subject," Doug Bosco, a former congressman and a committee member, said at the most recent committee meeting.
City staff, however, have advised the committee that eliminating binding arbitration entirely might not be the best route, either. Cities without binding arbitration will be bound by a new state law that requires disputes to head to a "fact finding panel," a process that could be as expensive or time consuming as binding arbitration.
So the committee is searching for changes to binding arbitration that would appear on the ballot and have established a three-member subcommittee to explore those changes.
The subcommittee will meet in private with representatives of police and fire unions and City Attorney Caroline Fowler. Its goal is to see what kind of changes the public safety groups might accept without a fight at the ballot box.
City officials have told the committee there are three ways they'd like to see the charter language about binding arbitration changed.
One is to define what the city can afford. Currently, the arbitration panel must take into account the city's "ability to pay" in rendering its decision about whether a contract is fair. But that is "extremely ambiguous" from a legal standpoint, Fowler said.
"Does that mean, for example, you have to dig into your reserves? Does it mean you have to cut your recreation and park programs?" Fowler said at the most recent meeting.
Bosco proposed a simple solution: capping general fund spending for public safety at a specific percentage. That would clearly define for an arbitration panel what voters consider is the city's ability to pay, Bosco said.
Retired reverend Ann Gray Byrd said with public safety now comprising 60 percent of the city's general fund, those who warned in 1996 about the prospect of service cuts and higher fees have been proven correct.
"Let's quit fooling around here folks and playing nicey nice — Measure A has hurt our city and the threat of binding arbitration has hurt," Byrd said.
Others said, however, that the many cities around the state without binding arbitration find themselves in equally challenging financial straits.
Terry Price, a political consultant and also a committee member, said a level playing field for all workers has to be restored.
"It's an issue of fairness of all the city employees, not just for fire and police," Price said. "Their share of the pie keeps expanding while every other service in the city seems to be shrinking."
The two other changes city officials would like to see involved limiting the panel from three arbitrators to one to save money, and not allowing disciplinary disputes to go to binding arbitration.
The subcommittee is made up of Sonia Taylor, a graphic designer and political activist; Tony Alvernaz, retired city programmer and former head of the city's largest employee union; and Kurt Groninga, a retired Santa Rosa Junior College official.
The subcommittee is allowed to meet behind closed doors because state open meetings laws allow exemptions for such working groups, Fowler said. The subcommittee will report back to the full committee by Feb. 18.
No insult was mentioned or implied in my posts. Again, reading comprehension is a biggie for law enforcement. Not so much for posters.
The retirement systemis being revamped. The unions tried two years ago to change them in the county. They weren't having any. the unions in the county want sustainability. I am sure city unions want the same. Don't believe everything the city says.

"I say fire all of them; dis ban the unions and hire some workers that appreciate their positions of authority."
Yeah, you go from Roscoe P. Coltrane to the Toys R Us "Swat Team". I have yet to meet a cop that does not appreciate their position of authority. That is the number 1 job perk.
2 0
So, Union Guy, the 2% at 50 vesting for Cops and Fire in the '90′s was an insult?
That was a very generous benefit.
The 3% at 50 for Cops and Fire of the 2000′s is an unsustainable jobs killer.
Just ask the tens of thousands of non Public Safety City employees laid off across the State in the past few years.
8 5
Here is a bit of education. Lots of people want to be cops. Less than 2% of all of those who WANT to be cops, are qualified. Can they shoot, can they drive, what more do you need, right?
Most can't pass a reading comprehension test, thank you education system. Most can't pass a criminal background check. Most can pass a pshyc test. They will have the power of life and death in their hands every day. You better hope they have the mental discipline to restrain themselves. Many can not pass a lie detector test, oops, because they are liars. Go figure. Many have medical issues discovered in the medical check. When you ignore or lower these standards, you end up with HUGE liabilities. How much did BART pay out for an accidental shooting by a new officer? A lot. How much did the CHP pay out for the crash on Hwy 101? A lot. These were caused by officers who went through all the previously mentioned evaluations. Imagine if the system and process were dumbed down to save $10 an hour. Quality officers who can pass all these evaluations are truly in demand. I know an officer who was about to be hired by one agency and 3 others offered him a job the next day because he had already made the cut. It would have saved one of those agencies tens of thousands in eval and training costs to snatch him away from another agency. Cops pay and benefits are the only bait in the market to make cops wnat to move to another agency. Those agencies need quality, to reduce liabilty.
But hey, as long and he can hear thunder and see lighting, give hime the keys and a loaded gun and pay him minimum wage. We would all be better off right?
8 7
The newer hires are worth less and should be paid less. They already waive integrity standards as well as education standards and physical standards – even psychological standards have been lowered – even criminal records or history of drug usage is off the table. The state just banned using credit reports too.
The higher bar of days gone by excludes anyone who still wants to be a cop in our cop hating society. So, what are we left with to pick the next generation of officers? I have to wonder how it works.
I think the Press Democrat has neglected to report the actual laws in place because I don't think Santa Rosa can just unilaterally decide to abandon compliance with state laws that require binding arbitration that control these agreements.
But to get back to the issue, future homogeneous mediocre police personnel are all going to be paid less in the future. I think that's inevitable. But can any of you Wellington haters debate that there will be unintended consequences?
I imagine officers bumping iPhones to accept their bribes and payoffs and even openly competing for graft. That's the kid of people parents are raising these day. Lower crime with corruption.
I guess this stuff runs in cycles. But the next couple of generations are going to cause a lot of societal damage. The mushy grey middle ground is a dangerous place to want your police officers to come from.

Eliminate binding arbitration- and the union for public safety.
There should be no bargaining for a public job.
This is how it should work: City posts a job "Police officer" and this is what we pay for that position. Anyone qualified can apply. If they want the job- they accept the pay. Why after they are hired, should they get to "bargain" for more money.
It would be like an airline selling a seat on a plane. Then when you sit in your seat, the airline saying, well I want more money for that seat. Or the passenger saying, Oh wait, I want to pay less for this seat.
Nope, a deal is a deal. If you don't like the pay (that the public is offering) then quit or get another job.
Who are you guys/girls in badges to tell us, the public, why you should DEMAND more money. You literally sit all day (in Herman Miller chairs) or in comffy Crown Victoria's (air conditioned) and drive around all day. Yes, the job can be dangerous. Just like a window washer or high-rise contractor or Cal Trans worker on a busy freeway- there are many dangerous jobs.
You chose this job- you liked the high pay (for very little education needed ahead of time) and either take the pay or quit and go get a job somwhere else.
I am so tired of hearing the cops and firefighter whine about their low pay. You have a cush job, great hours, great pay, great benefits, incredible retirement, total job security, literally impossible to fire you even if you do nothing productive (just drive around and answer calls) and you want more.
I say fire all of them; dis ban the unions and hire some workers that appreciate their positions of authority.

How long before the old guard of police die out and the next generation of participation trophy recipients working cheaper selfishly become corrupt? Wasn't the original idea of professionalizing police and paying them well intended to circumvent corruption? Are our young officers morally superior, or less? Unintended consequences are nearer than you think. You get the law enforcement you demand and the criminals you deserve.

Ban the unions? Really? I think you should ask you social studies teacher in your 7th grade class next week about that. They might re-educate you in the freedom of speech, press and assembly. Then again, maybe they don't teach that anymore. As for police stiking and becoming just another special interest group? You cop haters have been calling them that for years. You think they care what the likes of you thinks of them? Puff a few more weeder… Have a nice day.

Binding Arbitration = holding a city hostage. P/S is already at 60% of the budget, if this continues the way it is now it will be greater than that in a few more years and who can afford that? Other departments in the city have take furlough pay cuts and P/S did not, p/s did wage deferrals, but that is not actual cash like the other units did that can not really afford to have these pay cuts.

Calvin Coolidge, the governor of Massachusetts and facing a strike by Boston police officers:

And if police ever gain the right to strike they will descend from highly admired by the community to viewed as just another special interest group out to get all they can.

Leave it all in place. It will bring the whole rotten system down much sooner. Then there will be no money to pay any pensions and life can begin anew.

Yes, eliminate binding arbitration, on the condition that police and fire regain the right to strike.

How about just banning Public Employee Unions all together & be done with it?
What are the leaches going to do, QUIT?
GOOD RIDDANCE to those who do. They will be quickly & easily replaced in this economy.
What happens to all that talent, experience & skills?
They go to WORK in the private sector were they can thrive, innovate & produce.
And if they can't, ten I guess we just flushed out all the "dead wood" didn't we??!!
We have been down the "you can't get good talent without ridiculous pay" road & look were it has gotten us!
I'm NOT buying it anymore.
Call their bluff.
Ban the Unions.

While watching the public safety associations' obviously disingenuous presentation to the Charter Review committee, I smiled when Doug Bosco interjected. It's one thing for Brad Conners to sidestep Terry Price's reasonable questions. But once Mr. Bosco spoke about the need to reform Binding Arbitration, I knew Herb Williams' shoulders sunk as he realized his political machine was about to get even more difficult to run. Unless his current City Council majority is willing to vote against the reforms that will be proposed, and lose elections as a result, the city's public safety officials are about to be humbled and find it more difficult to cough up over $30,000 each two years to smear progressives and elect Williams' machine candidates. No amount of Tony Alvarez rants can stop reform if Mr. Bosco supports it. Watch it yourself! Wait for Mr. Bosco to respond to the nonsense. That's the moment the political landscape changed: http://ci.santa-rosa.ca.us/doclib/agendas_packets_minutes/Pages/20111201_CR_Video.aspx

The City Council's Business Majority (Sawyer, Ours, Olivarez and Bartley)were endorsed and given thousands by the Police and Fire. Do you really believe they are going to take away public safety's Binding Arbitration? This whole exercise is a big show so that the business backers Bosco & Herb Williams who is Sawyer's campaign consultant for Supervisor by the way, and the council majority can pretend to have addressed the public cries for pension reform for public employees while continuing to retain the very lucrative political endorsements and money of the public safety associations.They hope to fool voters into forgetting the deal they made with public safety last year by "tweaking" binding arbitration so they can say they did something, while giving a wink and a nod to their public safety friends. I guarantee they will not eliminate arbitration. If they do anything but a cosmetic change I'll eat my hat.

"…union organizer's dream team?"
Do you know who's on there? Bosco part of the dream team? Even Byrd, who you might've guessed, is obviously not a dream team member.
"Look at the Santa Rosa city council. Does that group look like a mob that would actually take on the cops and firefighters?"
You are correct here. After all, our illustrious mayor is a retired cop, pulling down over $100,000/year, AFTER spiking his pay his last year of active duty. Must be nice. Also, the newest "pro-business" council members met with public safety behind closed doors while campaigning, and LO AND BEHOLD, public safety has done very well with the "pro-business" majority. Again, must be nice.
Actually, in a play on Mel Brooks, "It's good to be public safety."
16 10
When mayor, Susan Gorin said binding arbitration was one of the policies responsible for wage and benefit increases the city could not afford. She was clear: The city's ability to align its employee costs with budget realities would, unfortunately, need to wait until existing multi-year contracts expired. Until then the city was at the mercy of voluntary employee "givebacks."
So, what has the council done? Routinely extend existing contracts in exchange for very modest givebacks. And now it's talking as though binding arbitration will also survive with some slight modification.
Given the above, can we safely predict budget crises will be part of Santa Rosa's future for many years to come? I think so.
16 6
The answer is yes. Eliminate binding interest arbritration for police and fire safety employees in Santa Rosa.
But the real question is will anything happen? That answer is a resounding NO. Look at the makeup of the committee reviewing the proposal. It is a union organizer's dream team.
Look at the Santa Rosa city council. Does that group look like a mob that would actually take on the cops and firefighters?
This is just another public relations stunt with lots of hand wringing from the city council who always want blame shifted away from the spotlight shining on them.
Money, time and lots of hot air wasted on an idea going nowhere.

This was in 1404 near Parliament House, which is one of three medieval houses in the town. These houses in The Avenue are genuine 15th-century dwellings, and not to be dismissed as mock Tudor. Owain Glyndwr held his parliament in the town, thus making Machynlleth the ancient Welsh capital.

This site, KARATEbyJesse.com, acts as platform for ideas, projects and articles written by me, Jesse Enkamp; self-titled Karate Nerd™, best-selling martial arts author, serial entrepreneur, national team member, international instructor, autodidact, stoic and carrot cake aficionado.
I write mainly about things related to Karate, Kobudo, Okinawa (or Japan in general), kata, bunkai, kumite and other topics related to Karate. Sometimes I throw in a little psychology, MMA, philosophy, history, culture, anatomy, Japanese stuff and other knowledge. Oh, and I like shooting popular videos too!
Okay, that was some short and sweet info.
Now, if you really want to read a whole lot of name dropping (people tell me it's important) and in-depth information about my training and such, keep reading. Thanks – see you around!
Follow me here for daily updates:
The style of Karate that I practise is not easy to describe with one "name" like Goju-ryu, Wado-ryu, Shito-ryu or Shotokan.
Therefore, I will simply give you a brief historical explanation:
The style was founded by a Japanese man named Inoue Motokatsu (1918-1993). He was born to a wealthy family in Japan, being the grandson of the former prime minister, and was thus exposed to the martial arts from a very young age. He studied many things, including Wada-ha Koga-ryu Ninjutsu, Ryukyu Kobujutsu, Aikido, Sumo and Karate
Inoue's primary teacher in Karate was Konishi Yasuhiro, who was a direct student of Funakoshi Gichin, Mabuni Kenwa, Motobu Choki and Miyagi Chojun, among others. This means that my "style" has very many kata, resembling an old-style mix of Shotokan-ryu, Shito-ryu and Goju-ryu.
This is because they were taught before the modernization of Karate for the sport scene, and thus haven't been "mutated" like some modern kata you see nowadays - although sometimes (mis)labeled "Classic Karate" or "Traditional Karate".
The style was named Yuishinkai Karate-jutsu.
This, combined with a nice bunch of old-style Okinawan Karate body mechanics, principles of movements and theories on energy transfer – along with an unhealthy amount of interesting methods and exercises that I've picked up along the way – forms the style of Karate that I practise and teach.
Or at least try to…
I started Karate from a very young age and my training has brought me to many countries, either for teaching, training or competing, including places like: France, Switzerland, Latvia, Croatia, Holland, England, Israel, Jordan, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Spain, USA, Germany, Greece, Italy, Estonia, Japan (Shimizu, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Kamakura, Osaka, Tokyo, Okinawa), Belgium, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Turkey, Scotland and just about every corner of Sweden (where I happen to live).
I might have forgot some…
And sure, travelling is sometimes tough, but it is also a rewarding experience, since the things I've seen helps me put other things I see in new perspective, letting me make "connections" some other people might have a hard time making. So to speak.
I mean, hey, the world is round, there is no need to be trapped in a square!
Studying Budo in so many places, and having such a fanatic interest in this field has led me to meet and/or train with some famous (here we go…) people. Some of them include (in no particular order): Nakamoto Masahiro & Mamoru, Nishida Yukio, Konishi Takehiro (Yasuhiro), Isao Irei, Akamine Hiroshi, Hokama Tetsuhiro, Matayoshi Yasushi, Kinjo Akio, Sakumoto Tsuguo, Tomimoto Yuko, Yoshiaki Gakiya, Nakaima Kenji, Shiroma Seihan, Josei Yogi, Kyan Morikazu, Takara Sachiyoshi, Inoue Kisho, Eddie Bravo, Kiyoshi Yamazaki, Ernesto "Mr. Perfect" Hoost, Shimabukuro Zenpo, Higaonna Morio, Nakazato Joen, Antonio Diaz, Higa Minoru, the Japanese national kata team (male and female), Luca Valdesi, Rika Usami and many more.
With some of them I've only trained once or twice, but with some for several years. Some I've just talked to. Most often in a gi though.
And the best part?
All of them helped me improve.
In more ways than one.
"Seek not to [blindly] follow in the footsteps of the men of old, but rather continue to seek out what they sought." – Matsuo Basho (1644-1694)
To better understand Karate - especially the part that is nowadays referred to as bunkai-jutsu – I have also had extensive training in various Ju-jutsu. Some of the styles include: Moto-ha Yoshin-ryu, Takenouchi-ryu, Koga-ryu Taijutsu, Kodokan Shin-ryu and Yagyu Shingan-ryu (let's throw in Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu too while we're at it, although that was more weapons than empty hand stuff).
I have also had instruction in the Chinese counterpart of seizing and grappling, Qin-Na (Chin-na), along with some Shaolin praying mantis and staff techniques. Nothing spectacular, but pretty interesting.
However, the training doesn't stop there.
There can be no end to learning.
The style of Kobudo I practise stems from a man named Taira Shinken. If you don't know who this man is, you should really do your homework.
Briefly, he was a pioneer who travelled the islands and villages around Okinawa (Ryukyu archipelago) and collected many almost extinct weapons kata, to ultimately unify them into a system for "the preservation and promotion of the ancient weapon arts of the Ryukyu islands".
The system is centered around nine weapons (bo, sai, tonfa, nunchaku, kama, tekko, tinbe/rochin, surujin, eiku) with some extra (secret!) variations, making it around fourteen weapons in total. There are forty-two kata preserved in total for these weapons.
A top disciple of Taira was Inoue Motokatsu, who eventually received the "title" of Menkyo Kaiden, "inheriting" the system. Inoue used the kata he had learnt as a base for his own master plan, devising specific kihon and kumite for every weapon, (something that was non-existent at the time), using the Japanese koryu bujutsu mold, making it a highly complete and easily comprehensible system.
And at the same time incredibly hard to master…
Just like my Karate training, my Kobudo training began at an early age. The younger you start, the smaller is the chance that you're going to hit yourself in the head, right?
Anyway, just like in my Karate training, I have studied different arts with weapons, including the Filipino, Chinese, Russian, Okinawan and Japanese (mainland) arts. Although they on the surface look different, if you thoroughly study one system you will come to see that they all build on the same concept of distance, timing, control, body movement and so on, and when that is understood; well, you can use whatever you want as a weapon.
Or no weapon.
Because, in the end, the purpose of training with weapons is not to learn how to beat up people with a weapon, it is to learn how to defend aginst a weapon.
Among other things, obviously.
Like Sun Tzu wrote in his "The Art of War" (6th century BC):
"It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."
And that pretty much sums it up.

Small Farmers Pushed to Plant GM Seed
Kristin Palitza, InterPress News
July 22, 2008
DURBAN, Jul 21 (IPS) – Baphethile Mntambo has been farming organically for the past five years because she knows that avoiding chemicals will in the long-term benefit her yield. She decided not to plant genetically modified seeds because she has heard that they cannot be saved for the next season and will eventually deplete her soil. But she is not entirely sure how and why.
"I have heard about GMO, but I don't understand what it is exactly," she says. "The only thing I know is that it will cost a lot of money to buy the seeds, the fertiliser and the pesticides."
Mntambo is one of 50 small-scale farmers in the Valley of a Thousand Hills in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province who have been taught how to farm organically by non-governmental organisation Valley Trust. The farmers learn to plant seasonal crops that will provide their families both with food security and an opportunity to generate income by selling their produce at local markets.
"We decided to promote organic farming to create sustainability for small-scale farmers. We believe it is the only way to give them food sovereignty and stability," explains Valley Trust food security facilitator Nhlanhla Vezi.
The Valley Trust used to cooperate with the Department of Agriculture, according to Vezi, but the collaboration ceased when the department started to put pressure on small-scale farmers to form cooperatives if they wanted its support. "The Department makes very attractive offers to provide farming equipment, water piping and seeds, but then uses this as a strategy to push GMO because of agreements they have signed with multinational GM seed patent holders," says Vezi.
Rural farmers are often lured into planting GM seeds by the Department of Agriculture by promises of substantial bank loans and the prospect of huge earnings, agrees Lesley Liddell, director of Biowatch, an NGO promoting alternatives to GMO farming by encouraging farmers to inter-crop, use natural fertilisers and non-chemical crops. "But in the end, most farmers end up in huge debt, because they can't save seeds and are obliged to buy the matching GM fertilisers and pesticides."
Over the past decade, South Africa has entered trade agreements with large, multi-national agricultural biotechnology corporations, such as Monsanto, which — in an attempt to control the world's agricultural production — promote the subsidisation of patented GM seeds. Through an incentive system supporting monocultures, small-scale farmers are systematically integrated into commercial agriculture, mainly for export, and encouraged to put together their land.
"It all looks very nice on paper, but it is actually a clever ploy to get access to people's land. Small-scale farmers who sign up for GM deals quickly lose control over seed management, production and eventually their land. This means they lose their food sovereignty," says Mayet. "GMO marginalises poor, small-scale farmers. We are in for hard times and need to fight for people's right to land and resources. But we won't give up."

Time Out Chicago Kids raves about the strawberry lemonade flavor. Chicago magazine claims the "coconut tastes fresh from the tree." And Michael Mednick, owner and founder of Anthony's Italian Ice, which has been open for more than 20 years, knows exactly why. After a stint selling name-brand ices, an unsatisfied Mednick decided to test his Italian ice-making talents by tossing fresh fruits into an old ice-making machine. A series of trials, errors, and brain freezes finally led Mednick to the sweet spot he holds today: manning his own Southport store, where he churns out 25 decadent Italian ice flavors⎯such as lemon, mango, and peach⎯from scratch.
Though Italian ice is Anthony's big draw, the shop also purveys smooth ice cream produced by fellow Chicago shop Bobtail, and offsets dessert appetites with Italian beef sandwiches, locally made soups, and Chicago-style hot dogs.
Blind Faith Café vaunts a vault of vegetarian cuisine with enough enticing eats to potentially convert even the most stubborn of steak-eaters. Starters on the spring 2010 dinner menu include roasted vegetable hummus ($5.50) and guacamole with corn chips and crudités ($8.50), while, sandwichally speaking, the barbecue seitan sandwich ($12.50) slathers the wheat gluten in sauce and sides it with Carolina slaw and choice of salad or fries. Blind Faith Café's entrees pull from global influences: the Kung Pao ($14) offers Szechwan-glazed gardein sautéed with ginger, garlic, and peanuts, and the enchiladas verdes ($14) roll up corn, potato, and sour cream in savory sleeping bags topped with jack cheese, guacamole, and salsa verde. For dessert, try the peanut-butter-chocolate cake ($7.50), or simply order another round of wine or beer as you regale fellow diners with yet another story about how you were raised by a pack of windsocks.
Voted Best of Chicago 2008 by the Chicago Reader and lauded by Time Out Chicago, Uru-Swati earns praise for the carefully crafted vegetarian Indian fare served at its Devon Avenue storefront. Blue walls and painted cityscapes look down on dishes brimming with rich sauces, while nearby clocks slink down from walls to steal bites when patrons look away. South Indian cuisine in the form of masala dosa and uttapam meets classic dishes such as chana masala and dal makhani, and garlic naan and desserts round out an extensive menu.
Udupi Palace smothers hunger pangs with towering platters of south- Indian vegetarian delicacies at the heart of Devon Avenue. The casual eatery nabbed the attention of WTTW's Check, Please!, which lauded the eatery as "a fabulous place for the adventurous type" due to its exotic cuisine and precarious location atop an active volcano. Named for a small village in southern India, Udupi Palace pays homage to the town's culinary traditions with meatless masterpieces characterized by an abundance of spices and delicate, crepe-like creations called dosai, sculpted from rice and lentils and filled with chutney or vegetables.
Every Friday and Saturday night, an insiders-only karaoke jam fills Dharma Garden's pastel-colored walls with music. During a recent visit by Time Out Chicago, the crowd—mostly comprised of staff members from other Thai restaurants—burst into applause as Dharma chef and owner Vilairait Junthong, AKA "Little Aunt," grabbed the mic to sing her favorite tune, Sirintra Niyakorn's "Roo Wa kao lhok," which roughly translates to "You Treat Me Wrong".
In the more than ten years since arriving in Chicago from her hometown of Prajinburi, Little Aunt has done more than just bulk up Dharma's Thai menu. Chicago Thai restaurants Sticky and Spoon Thai have called on Junthong to outfit their menus with Northern Thai specialties such as marinated beef jerky and Chinese-influenced rice soup. She's also stayed true to a no-land-animals pledge––one reason of many why Time Out Chicago has named Dharma Garden a Critics' Pick.
Beneath the dining room's spherical hanging lights, curries and stir-fried noodles stack with veggies such as baby bok choy and chinese broccoli, as well as seafood, shrimp, and imitation meats. Already boasting one of the city's largest vegetarian menus, chefs can also alter most of their other dishes to accommodate vegans and vegetarians upon request. After finishing off a deep-fried red snapper, patrons can peruse the Thai-language menu, or request a translation into other languages such as German, Latin, and Binary.
Cousin's Incredible Vitality... much more than just a restaurant 100% Vegetarian & Vegan No Cholesterol Or Unhealthy Fats Fresh, Quality Organic Ingredients Friendly, Professional Staff Wide Menu Selection serve a growing community of health-conscious individuals. We strive to offer the highest
Though Loving Hut has locations sprinkled across the globe, no two menus are the same. Whether in San Francisco or Toyko, the Asian-inspired vegan eatery's talented chefs concoct dishes catered to local cuisines and ingredients. In Chicago, chefs work with a tasty textured vegetable protein—shortened to "TVP" on the menu. The protein is perfectly executed within Pan-Asian offerings, such as Korean barbecue and the Thai curry that "charmed" Chicago Magazine. Of course, chefs don't use TVP in every menu item; salads boom with fresh produce, such as sweet potatoes, beets, and avocados, while veggie burgers showcase traditional tomato and pickle toppings. In line with the all-natural cuisine, Loving Hut's "hut" surrounds patrons in earthy colors and textures. Furthermore, friendly reminders, such as "Share the World with All Beings," are written across the walls.

Spirited debate is encouraged here in The Mo'Kelly Report. You are also welcome to employ the weapons of witty repartee, sarcasm and a healthy dose of intellectual fortitude. There's nothing wrong with being wrong and standing behind it 100%, but there are some laws here.
No profanity (except for "damn" and "hell"). If you can't make your point without the use of profanity, you probably didn't have one worthy of reading in the first place. This rule is subject to interpretation by His Royal Despot on High…Mr. Mo'Kelly. All sales are final.
No vulgarity. And no, that's not the same as profanity. One can be vulgar without the use of profanity. This is a place for grownups but is by no means an "adult" site.
No derogatory racial references or injurious insults. EVER. Grounds for immediate and permanent banishment (Mr. Mo'Kelly tracks IP addresses). Use common sense and good judgment or get gone.
No spam…for obvious reasons…and hell no Mr. Mo'Kelly doesn't want to trade links. Go develop your own SEO.
No trolling or flaming the comment section (trolling means stopping through and intentionally leaving inflammatory remarks for the purpose of creating animosity and discord). There are no warnings and you will be banned for the rest of your natural life. All sales are final and there is no appeal. (Remember, this is run by an evil despot, not a "nice" despot.)
No, Mr. Mo'Kelly doesn't take "requests." If you want a particular issue covered, post your own editorial on your own blog. You are free to post links for discussion or for Mr. Mo'Kelly's review…but if it is thinly veiled spam or "troll-like" inflammatory material…you're banished.
All opinions are welcome but some are more informed than others. You're not free to post or comment as you see fit. If you are unable or unwilling to provide evidence to support more "controversial" opinions or commentary, you will be told to leave and your comments stricken.
And yes, Mr. Mo'Kelly has personal grudges against certain individuals or entertainers. It's his right. (See the definition of "evil despot on high"). El DeBarge is NOT one of them. Brandy is ABSOLUTELY one of them. The rest are left up to your imagination. Think what you want. This list is subject to change without notice and all sales are final.

BATON ROUGE, La. - LSU let its second chance slip away.
Twice the Tigers were No. 1 and in control of their national championship hopes.
Twice the team with a flair for the dramatic couldn't pull out a triple-overtime victory against a Heisman Trophy contender.
Darren McFadden rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns, and even threw for another score to lift Arkansas to a 50-48 victory yesterday, likely eliminating another team from the national title chase.
"Certainly, he had a Heisman performance today," LSU coach Les Miles lamented. "Right now, there's a goal of our football team taken off the board and it's sad . . . Tonight, we'll be sick."
LSU may very well play a bowl game in New Orleans, but the one they were hoping to play - the BCS championship game Jan. 7 - now looks out of reach.
That had to devastate most of the 92,606 fans who filled Tiger Stadium with earsplitting roars throughout this classic, then quietly filed out while the Razorbacks stormed the field in triumph after snapping the nation's longest home-winning streak at 19 games.
The Tigers (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) had already clinched the SEC West Division and will move on to the conference title game in Atlanta Dec. 1, but will do so feeling a little hollow.
Winning the SEC title will put LSU in the Sugar Bowl. No team with two losses has ever played in the national title game. A few more upsets could put LSU back in the debate, but it could've been so easy for the Tigers. All they had to do was win two.
"It's a sick feeling, losing another tough game that we played our hearts out," tight end Richard Dickson said. "We can think about it for a while but we have to come out next week and win an SEC title."
McFadden's rushing touchdowns went for 16 yards in the second quarter, 73 yards in the third period, and 9 yards in the second OT. His TD pass was a flawlessly executed 24-yarder over the middle to Peyton Hillis after McFadden froze the defense with a play-action fake.
Heisman voters will have to think twice about leaving McFadden off of the top of their ballot.
"However you want to put it, numbers speak for themselves," said McFadden, who has 1,725 yards rushing this season, breaking the school record he set last year.
Hillis scored four TDs, the last in the third overtime. Felix Jones ran for the critical 2-point conversion to make it 50-42 for the Razorbacks (8-4, 4-4).
LSU responded when Matt Flynn found Brandon LaFell for a 9-yard TD, but Matterral Richardson intercepted the 2-point conversion attempt.
"Hey, we were the best team in the country today," boasted Houston Nutt, who is rumored to be on his way out as the Razorbacks' coach. "To come down here in Baton Rouge and win is huge."
Hillis ran for 89 yards and Jones had 85 as Arkansas finished with 385 yards on the ground against one of the best run defenses in the country.
Now that the Tigers have fallen as No. 1 a second time, the winner of tonight's game between No. 2 Kansas and No. 3 Missouri will likely take over the top spot in the rankings and the BCS standings. No. 4 West Virginia, which was third in the BCS standings, has a chance to sneak up to at least No. 2 in each with a win over Connecticut.
LSU had made a habit of pulling off dramatic second-half comebacks in victories over Florida, Auburn, and at Alabama. Their only other loss also came in triple OT at Kentucky, with quarterback Andre Woodson putting on a Heisman-worthy performance.
This time, Arkansas and the embattled Nutt walked away holding the "Golden Boot," a trophy shaped like the states of Arkansas and Louisiana.
"This league's the toughest league in America and that's why it's hard for a lot of people to understand that every Saturday, anybody can beat anybody in this league," Nutt said.

22 February 2002 16:57 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (CNI)--German chemicals giant BASF announced on Friday it has signed an exclusive computer equipment supply deal with Dell Computer to cut its information technology (IT) costs.
The multi-million dollar deal will lower personal computer (PC) hardware and service costs through standardisation on a single PC platform, said BASF.
A BASF spokesman said this is BASF's first computer supply deal with a single supplier, as his company had previously used different companies for its computer needs.
Financial details of the contract were not disclosed and no estimation of the exact IT cost savings were volunteered by BASF.
Dell will deliver more than 60 000 notebooks, workstations and desktop PCs to BASF over a three-year period. Applying its custom factory integration service, Dell will supply all computer systems "ready to run" with BASF-specific hardware and software, providing BASF employees with global access to their familiar applications.

Missouri hunters are being asked to help monitor free range deer.
This is a response to a second northern Missouri case of chronic wasting disease discovered in a captive white-tail deer. So far there have only been two reports of CWD in captive deer in Linn and Macon counties. The disease attacks the nervous systems of cervids which includes deer, elk and moose. The disease is not a threat to humans, live stock or other animals. The testing does not affect the food value of the animal and only takes a few minutes. News service coordinator for the MIssouri Department of Conservation Joe Jerek says the hunters are a vital part of keeping the free-ranging deer population healthy.
The Missouri Department of Conservation are asking deer hunter in Linn, Macon, Adair, Chariton, Randolph and Sullivan counties to take their hunted deer to a processor or roadside collection site for testing. In Linn county hunters can take deer to King's Processing and Catering, Purdin Processing, Sprague's Locker, roadside collection on the junction of Highway 129 and 36 or road collection on the junction of Highway 11 and 129. In Sullivan you can take deer to Tucker's grocers and processing. Testing will take place November 12th and 13th as well as November 19th and 20th.© Copyright, KXCV

Just listening to their greatest hits,they had some hot joints.The first version with sharon bryant was great and the second version with barbara weathers was great also.Those two ladies although very diffrent singers each added something special to the group.
Atlantic Starr were a 1980s R&B band. Among their hits were "Always" and "Secret Lovers".
The group was started in 1976 in White Plains, New York by Porter CarrolJr.,Clifford Archer,Duke jones,and Joseph Phillips(keyboards and vocals), and Johnathan Lewis (percussion and trombone). Other members of the band were lead singer Sharon Bryant (who was later replaced by Barbara Weathers), trumpeter William Sudderth, saxophonist Damon Rentie (who was replaced by Koran Daniels), bassist Clifford Archer, drummer Porter Carroll Jr., and percussionist and flautist Joseph Phillips.
Throughout the late 70's and early 80's, Atlantic Starr scored several hits on the R&B charts. However, significant crossover success (onto the pop charts) didn't come until halfway into the 80's, with the release of their As The Band Turns album, and the single "Secret Lovers." By this time, the band had pared itself down to a quintet, consisting of the three Lewis brothers, Phillips, and Weathers. In 1987, the band solidified their pop success by scoring a #1 pop hit with "Always," a slow jam off their album All In The Name Of Love. Following this success, Weathers left for a solo career, and she was replaced by Porscha Martin for the band's next album, 1988's We're Movin' Up. The band would continue to score hits on both the R&B and Pop charts into the early 90's. Their biggest hit of '90s was the Billboard #3 hit "Masterpiece" in 1992.

The news analysis ("Officials Think Something Stinks in Garbage Gambit," Aug. 18) and related editorial ("Dumping a Political Problem?" Aug. 20) based on an anonymous source in the county administrative office are completely off base.
I first learned of the solid waste fiscal crisis and the Anaheim Disposal decision to haul to Los Angeles County from county official Vicki Wilson late last week. I had not previously met or discussed this problem or strategy with the owners of Anaheim Disposal or with the city of Anaheim, the Irvine Co., any members of the county Solid Waste Management Commission or anyone else.

2011: The Year in Homicides
A timelapse of (almost all of) the 2011 homicides in Chicago, mapped onto the city grid.
With the help of Geocommons and the city's data portal, a timelapse of the city's homicides (through December 11).
Update: The interface is a bit confusing; click "cumulative" and "play" to see the timelapse.
Comments to this blog are moderated. We review them in an effort to remove foul language, commercial messages, and irrelevancies.

One note on the data from the police department: For delayed homicides, the data denotes the date of death, not the date of occurrence.
For example, a 49-year-old woman was stabbed on Halloween. She died on Nov. 5.
The death is listed on the data sheet as Nov. 5 even though the incident occurred Oct. 31.

Hartley tries something new
By Paul Thompson from King's Lynn , 16 Jan 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
First of all, I find it hard to understand some of the reviews (although the term 'review' is more than some of the comments deserve - if I want to hear people call a film 'sh*t' then I'll listen to some thickos down the pub). Why have you rented this film if you clearly have no interest in it? For others who want a more objective judgment, I'll give some details (which is the whole point of reviewing a film isn't it?)
First of all, I watched this film because I'm a fan of Hal Hartley and his acting emsemble (represented here by Martin Donovan, who plays Jesus). For those of you watching because of PJ Harvey, be aware she has almost no acting to do as such, although a couple of her songs contribute to the soundtrack.
Secondly, the film is just over an hour long and I suspect (there is no bonus material on the DVD to support/disagree with my view) that it was commissioned as part of a larger Millenium 'celebration', and not 'the next Hal Hartley feature film'.
Thirdly, the story has Jesus and Mary Magdalene arriving in New York on 31st Dec 1999, preparing for the Apocalypse. The Devil is also present, and there are two 'human' characters intertwined with the story.
So, knowing all that, is it any good? The answer is: no, not really. The film is shot in an unattractive grainy yet shimmery style, for no particular reason. There is a sub-plot, if one can call it that, which I never understood, and the script mainly centres on dialogue between the Devil and one human character, and the Devil and Jesus.
Rather as Hartley himself has done, watch, take what you can from it, and move on.- Was this review helpful to you?

(21)Big disappointment
By a customer from London , 04 Aug 2009Previous Hal Hartley films we'd see had made us enthusiastic to rent this title, but we were really disappointed. Can't really comment on the plot or the acting which may have been brilliant, the whole thing was just rendered unwatchable by the shaky blurry video-8 style camerawork. The general impression was of something made by a media studies class with a zero budget.- Was this review helpful to you?

serious version of dogma
By antfrogboy (6 reviews) from London , 15 May 2009what a lovely, well written, amusingly acted film. I really enjoyed this and dont understand why it's so polarising. it's pretentious (but hal hartley is pretentious and that is part of his charm) and reasonably high brow, but it's not like you need a phd in theology to enjoy it. the criticisms just suggest the people who rented it were looking for the sequel to dude where's my car and clicked the wrong button.
dont get put off by bad reviews. if you enjoy interesting, different and reasonably intelligent film with no CGI give it a try.... and if you vaguely enjoyed dogma, this is similar cheesy theology nonsense but SO much cleverer (although not as funny). it's only an hour long even if you hate it. oh yeah, and polly is great. we love polly,- Was this review helpful to you?

By usadcow (16 reviews) from Barnet , 25 Aug 2008Missed as a comedy. Could have been so much more if they thought about it a little. Confusing for all religions. Maybe they should have contacted the Monty Python team who could have given them some pointers- Was this review helpful to you?

Persevere with this!
By ahorovitz (42 reviews) from Stroud , 23 Jul 2008If you can get past the seasickness-inducing camerawork, where arms dissolve into fuzz as people move and colours blur into each other, this is a fine little pre-millennial moral fable about the dangers of religious fervour, in which the Jesus and the devil stalk New York in the hours running up to the new millennium and decide whether or not they should bring about the apocalypse.
Low key and intelligent, the film seems far shorter than its hour or so - after 10 minutes the camera becomes natural and the blurriness of the film is matched by the blurriness of the morals of the characters.
I loved the way the devil kept on addressing the audience in Brechtian fashion through a microphone - a film as dense and strange as this needs a bit of exposition and this was a fine and funny way to do it.- Was this review helpful to you?

so i shouldnt eat for 2hrs before bed, but could i taking purple wrath with the somnidhren right before bed and not interfear with the growth hormone effects??
Give it at least 1-1.5 hours after your last meal to allow S-GH to have it's full effect. You could take it with Purple Wrath with no issues at all. I personally take mine in the vacinity of my BCAA's nightly. Leucine does have an effect on insulin but it is so short lived that it won't interfere with the S-GH.
thanks. really excited about trying this product.
If you feel like you couldn't allow this amount of time between food and S-GH try taking S-GH sublingually in 2 half scoop servings. This will help you avoid the issue if it becomes one.
Thanks for the interest, I think you'll really liek the S-GH

Thanks for this terrible review, in which you spend most of the time talking about (i) level design gimmicks in an different game, and (ii) the simultaneously forgettable and irrelevant plot. I especially like the bit where the strongest criticism you can provide is that it lacks a secret low-gravity level, even though there is in fact a secret low-gravity level but you weren't able to find it. Good job, champ! |
