John Florez: Take a lesson from faith, community based organizations: The poor need help, not hurdles
Truthseeker SLO, CANov. 5, 2012 7:28 a.m.
Life-long LDS member here.
You are wrong in all your assumptions.
Let's Agree to Disagree Spanish Fork, UTNov. 3, 2012 9:34 p.m.
"Weren't we all taught, at an early age, to help others?
Isn't the judging of whether "they" need in or not supposed to be left to a higher power?"
Can I have some money? I mean, it would really help me out a lot...I would not have to work to support my family if people just gave me money. What? Suddenly you want to judge whether or not I really need help? How can you be so judgmental? Is it because I currently have a job? Well I can become unreliable, or hooked on drugs, or steal and get fired. Then will you give me money? Oh, I see...now you want to judge the choices I make? Now what are you saying? Just working hard would be the best thing for me and the best example to set for my kids? You are probably right...and there are probably a lot of other people who should be told that too...
J Thompson SPRINGVILLE, UTNov. 3, 2012 4:13 p.m.
If you want to learn about the LDS Church, why not contact the missionaries, or visit a Ward or Branch in SLO? When I visited SLO, many times for business, I often visited with LDS members there. They are no different from LDS members world-wide.
Christians, world-wide, care about people, even people outside their own religion. Religious bigots, world-wide, use every opportunity to speak against God and religion.
As far as your statement about "inactive" LDS being turned away, that may be true; but, those same people are also turned away from government agencies for scamming the system.
Not everyone who holds their hand out is going to have that hand filled. GOOD HEARTED people are going to get help from GOOD HEARTED people. Scammers need to re-think how they live their lives. No church is obligated to "enable" people who ask for help under false pretenses - anymore than any government agency would offer help to people who ask for help under false pretenses.
Truthseeker SLO, CANov. 3, 2012 2:26 p.m.
" The issue comes up with the high level of fraudulant"
#1. How do you arrive at the conclusion regarding the level of fraud? percentages? statistics? sources?
"One believes you should just give and sustain those that won't do for themselves. The other believes in helping people, but, those that can-should get back on their feet and help themselves as soon as possible."
#2. Democrats do not believe able-bodied and mentally competent people should just be able to live on the "dole." But Democrats do realize that not all jobs provide a living wage and even some people who work 40 hrs/wk may need some type of assistance to meet basic needs. Democrats are also concerned that using "blunt" instruments to reduce aid to the needy could result in harm to children and those who have real challenges/needs.
I appreciate Mr. Florez" columns on these issues. How can the current system be improved? Specific recommendations?
Truthseeker SLO, CANov. 3, 2012 1:45 p.m.
"That same help is extended to every person, regardless of religious affiliation who lives within our Ward boundary"
I know of LDS people who were refused assistance because they were no longer attending church. How are needy non-members helped by local wards? I've never known an LDS ward/leadership that offered assistance to non-members (outside of natural disasters).

Weren't we all taught, at an early age, to help others?
Isn't the judging of whether "they" need in or not supposed to be left to a higher power?
Hutterite American Fork, UTNov. 3, 2012 10:07 a.m.
Community organisers. They get it.
Liberal Ted Salt Lake City, UTNov. 3, 2012 9:36 a.m.
I have no issues with helping those that are actually in need. The issue comes up with the high level of fraudulant people that have zero shame about scamming the system and stealing from those that are in need and vulnerable. The other issue is the generational welfare, where kids grow up in this environment and believe that is the way to get through life.
Are we really helping people when we just give them what they ask for? There are some people that can handle being on assistance temporarily and when they are back on their feet they get off of the system. Others are complacent to live off the system and always have a reason to not work and provide for themselves.
That's the difference I see in the philosophy between dems and repubs. One believes you should just give and sustain those that won't do for themselves. The other believes in helping people, but, those that can-should get back on their feet and help themselves as soon as possible.
Mike Richards South Jordan, UtahNov. 3, 2012 9:31 a.m.
Is infrastructure the problem? Do we have poverty in America because of a lack of roads that allow people to get to work and for products to get to market? Do we have poverty because of a lack of police and fire protection? Do we have poverty because people have not had the OPPORTUNITY to receive an education?
Those duties are mostly allocated to government. The rest of the duties we retain to ourselves.
Every week in church Priesthood Meeting, the group leadership checks with each person who is unemployed or underemployed to see how the job hunt is progressing and to check on the welfare needs of that person and his family. Other group members are asked to be alert for employment opportunities. Occasionally, we are asked to spend a few hours helping someone in the ward boundaries with mundane tasks, tasks that may have become too trying for him to handle by himself.
That same help is extended to every person, regardless of religious affiliation who lives within our Ward boundary. No one is left out because of religious affiliation.
Government can't solve the problem. They've tried for 80 years. They're using the wrong plan.
one old man Ogden, UTNov. 3, 2012 9:24 a.m.
But, John, that's not the Republican way is it?
After all, aren't 47% of us just leaches?
DVD Taylorsville, 00Nov. 3, 2012 9:12 a.m.
How does it go? "A society can be judged based on its treatment of its most vulnerable". Or similar.
We do need to have a means of preventing our help from being drained by some to the point of being unable to help anyone, however. Those that provide the help can find themselves in a bit of a quandary in terms of resources available to give.

.22 Pump Actions
I just held an old Winchester pump today and needless to say I'm in love with them.
What do they have in modern rifles that's a good pump and what would you suggest?
I saw a Henry pump action with an Octagon barrel...not sure on that one...and then I really like the Taurus Model 62 but it's discontinued.
I have one and have been in love with that gun since I was a kid. I think Taurus builds a modern version.
The Winchester Model 90 .22 Pump
I have a Winchester Model 90 .22LR pump. My Dad got it from his Grandfather as a .22 short gallery gun, octagonal barrel and all. He had it re-chambered to Long Rifle in the 50's while we were living in Sacramento, California which required replacement of the octagonal barrel with a modern round barrel. I learned to shoot with this gun and it has given me and my family probably over 80 years of fun and excitement.
The Model 90
If my research is right, this gun was first introduced by Winchester in 1890. It was designed by the Browning Brothers and was the first Winchester slide action (pump) rifle. The Browning Brothers manufactured guns in Ogden, Utah and produced 600 Browning single-shot rifles before the company turned over the patent to the Winchester Arms Company. Early Winchester model 90 rifles were constructed with a solid frame from 1890 - 1893, some 16,746 rifles. Mine is a takedown model which was available later. The first series and early second series models had case hardened receivers, then after 1901, when the third series was introduced, they were blued. They were produced by Winchester from 1890 through 1941 with 764,365 guns produced in that time. The rifles were chambered in the following Calibers : 22 Short, 22 Long Rifle, 22 Short , 22 Long and Long rifle and 22 WRF.
Sadly winchester's are to expensive for me.
Says out of stock accepting orders. That's also the .22 Magnum not .22 LR.

I found this ole dog on gunsamerica.
What do you guys think? Buy and bring her back to life...or by the picture does she look like a lost cause.
Doesn't look that bad but my middle finger is bigger than the image!! Can't tell what the breach, chamber or barrel look like.
I found a better one...and this one is the actual Taurus.
Taurus M62 22 cal. Pump Action Rifle : Pump at GunBroker.com
I have bid on it.
Hopefully I'll win it and get it in my home sooner or later.
The Reminton 572 was the first gun that was all mine. I was 12 (and that was a looooooong time ago). A quality, American made 22 pump. That was the beginning of my love affair with guns:).

16-17 August 2013
Lot 203
1976 Lamborghini Urraco P300
- Chassis no. 20078
Sold for $57,750
- Lamborghini's response to the Dino
- Desirable P300 engine and Euro bumpers
- An excellent example
In the late 1960s, Ferruccio Lamborghini realized that his company required a competitive counterpoint to Porsche's 911 and Ferrari's Dino 246, and a less expensive alternative to the sensational Miura and the big Espada. Using a 2+2 configuration, offering rear seats that the rivals lacked, the car would also have a more powerful V-8 engine, as well as being designed by Marcello Gandini and shaped by Bertone. Bob Wallace, the mechanical genius who had helped tune other Lamborghini suspensions, had a hand in tweaking the four-wheel independent McPherson strut suspension, which helped contribute to the Urraco's outstanding road-holding ability.
When the Urraco made its debut at the 1970 Turin Motor Show, it was one of the very few automobiles to have two cars displayed at its introduction, at two different stands; a white model posed at the Bertone booth, while a bright orange example was at the Lamborghini display. Both were well-received by the motoring press and public, and when the model was able to finally reach production three years later, it was built successfully for six years. As Ferruccio Lamborghini had intended, it was the car that introduced many enthusiasts to an experience that they had never before dreamed possible.
The Urraco offered here must certainly be one of the nicest examples available, and importantly, it is in the most desirable configuration, with the later P300 engine, which is the largest installed by the factory in this model. It also features svelte European-style chrome bumpers, which show off the Gardini and Bertone "flying wedge" at its best, and an elegant black finish over a two-tone blue interior. Quite simply, this car looks menacing in a way that few Urracos do. This example is particularly rare, as it is believed to be one of only six "French wing" examples. As such, it doesn't have the louvers over the rear glass, giving it a very clean and sleek appearance.
Well-maintained and presented, it would be a superb choice to fill a gap in any Lamborghini collection, or to just enjoy a car that was entry-level in 1976 but feels like anything but. It is as exciting today as when it was new, whether being flung through the twisties or looking cool standing still.
AddendumPlease note that due to California emissions, this car should be offered to a dealer or out-of-state resident.
Please contact our exclusive automotive transportation partner, Reliable Carriers, for a shipping quote or any other information on the transport of this vehicle.

Now, 6-month maternity leave for govt employees
A government order to this effect was issued on June 14, 2012. Employees, who have gone on maternity leave before April 1 and have not completed the 135-day period, are entitled for 180 days leave.
However, those who have completed 135 days maternity leave before April 1 and are still on leave using other leaves, are not eligible to avail enhanced maternity leave.
Other allowances
Besides, the government has increased other allowances that are applicable to certain classes of employees.
This includes travel allowances (to officials like tahsildars, revenue inspectors, village accountants and block education officers who were not given government vehicles), uniform allowance to employees in police, transport, forest, excise and health and family welfare departments, hill-station and out-station allowances. The government has also increased the monthly medical allowance for Group 'C' and 'D' employees from Rs 50 to Rs 100.
The government also enhanced the number of stagnation increments from the existing five to eight and granted additional increment to employees who have completed more than 25 years of services in the same post without any promotion.
Though the government accepted and implemented the OPC recommendations with respect to salary and some components of allowances with effect from April 1, it had not committed itself on implementing recommendations on enhancing maternity leave period and certain other allowances.
It had said that it will take appropriate decision in coming days based on the financial condition.

Work on a repeatedly delayed £250m regeneration scheme which will transform the area around Lewisham station is finally getting under way this month.
The Lewisham Gateway project will eventually replace the area round the huge, unloved, Loampit Vale roundabout with a new road layout, shops, around 800 homes and a town square.
Built by Lewisham Gateway Developments and backed by Muse, the first phase will see the construction of two new buildings rising to 25 storeys high, plus the Confluence Place park where the Ravensbourne and Quaggy rivers meet.
This part of the site was previously used as the bus stand and is located between the DLR and Lewisham Road. To allow the work to proceed, part of Station Road has been closed until next spring.
From the summer, the roundabout, Loampit Vale, Station Road, Lewisham Road, Lewisham High Street and Molesworth Street will all be altered in phases over an 18-month period.
Director of Lewisham Gateway Developments Doug Finlay said: "This is an important scheme which will benefit the community and deliver major improvements in many ways to Lewisham town centre.
"We have worked closely with our public sector partners to get to this point. Whilst there are several years of construction activity ahead of us, we are acutely aware of the need to keep the town centre moving and trading as we bring the scheme forward."
A website called NewLewisham.co.uk has been launched to keep people updated with the project along with the @NewLewisham Twitter account.
Progress on the flagship project - criticised by some as turning Lewisham into another Croydon - was given outline planning consent seven years ago but has repeatedly stalled since then. It was even dubbed not financially viable by Lewisham's planning chief when the financial crisis began to bite.
Developers have been unable to say when the rest of the phases might be carried out or provide an estimated date for the whole scheme's completion.

text: Warm reception for new WVU wideouts By Mitch Vingle August 14, 2012 Story Share MORGANTOWN - It was a fresh, new day at West Virginia University's football camp.The newcomers were finally given the high sign to meet with the media. It was a chance to get to know some of those expected to make an immediate impact.Some newcomers will be easy for Mountaineer fans to spot - if, indeed, they avoid redshirt status and hit the field.I refer to the new receivers."They all have the ability to [play]," said WVU quarterback Geno Smith. "Now it's just on the mental side."All of those guys are really good. Devonte Robinson is a speed guy. He can burn them deep. He also runs great routes. Devonte Mathis is really big. He's kind of a possession receiver. He runs great routes. He's got some speed to him."Jordan Thompson is a really small guy, but he plays big. He always makes plays. He finds a way to get open. He just has a knack for making great catches."And Travares Copeland is a really good guy. He's a quick-twitch guy who will look to make plays from the slot. I think he'll make some plays for us this season."All have been doing some really good things and impressing the players as well as the coaches." Fans were able to familiarize themselves with Thompson because he hit Touchdown City in the spring.But allow me to introduce a couple of the others. Robinson, 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, hails from small Village Academy High in Delray Beach, Fla. He said he's gone from a graduating class of 32 to preparing for Big 12 competition and crowds.The "speed guy" has been auditioning for work on the kickoff return teams and wants to play now."I don't want to redshirt," Robinson said Tuesday. "I want to play immediately, whatever I can do to help the team: special teams, offense, even if I have to play defense."A member of the 2011 Florida 2A all-state first team, Robinson is working offensively now at the Z receiver position along with Ryan Nehlen, Ivan McCartney and J.D. Woods. "J.D. Woods is like an older brother," Robinson said. "He helps keep me level-headed and focused through everything." Robinson led Palm Beach County with 950 receiving yards on 31 catches with a 30.6 yard-per-catch average last season. He knows, however, he needs to improve."I need to be consistent with my routes," Robinson said. "I need to be consistent with the press and off-man coverages."Going through the summer 7-on-7 work was good, though. It made it much easier with the regular practices."As for Mathis, well, fans have a head start on his background. That's because he hails from Hollywood, Fla., and Miramar High, which produced Smith, Stedman Bailey and McCartney. It's a place where Smith, according to Mathis, is "treated like the president." And it's a place that demands excellence."Expectations come from Geno and Stedman and Ivan," Mathis said. "It makes me work harder."Mathis, 6-2, 210 pounds, is working as an outside receiver with Bailey and redshirt freshman K.J. Myers. It's a full-time job after playing quarterback, running back and receiver for coach Damon Cogdell (a former Mountaineer player) at Miramar. "I'm working with my size and speed here," Mathis said. "I'm trying to catch on to the defenses. In high school, there was a different defense here and there. But in college, everything is going so much faster. Different things are coming at you."Mathis did emerge from a similar spread, hurry-up, no huddle offense. He also emerged from a school that produced Tracy Howard, a Miami, Fla., signee rated the nation's No. 1 cornerback."It was good and helped me get ready for college knowing he's the top corner in the country," Mathis said. "I give him a lot of praise because he's ahead of the game."Now we'll see if Robinson, Mathis and some of the other newcomers can make their marks. "President" Smith seems satisfied, saying he wouldn't hesitate to throw to any when the season begins."Not at all," said the QB.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com.MitchVingle.

Drilling down into Apple's (AAPL) recent string of boffo quarterly reports, analyst Toni Sacconaghi Jr. of Bernstein Research finds both strength and vulnerability in Steve Jobs' relentless pursuit of high-margin computer sales.
In his second report since Bernstein initiated coverage of Apple (see here for the first one), Sacconaghi notes that:
- Apple's global PC market share has increased in 10 of the last 11 quarters,
- unit sales have grown 28% or better in each of the last four quarters
- U.S. notebook sales have been particularly strong, accounting for 47% of Apple's Mac unit growth and 52% of its revenue in Apple's most recent quarterly report.
But amid all that good news, he sees risks ahead for Apple investors. It's tempting, he says, to look at Apple's slim 3% slice of the global market for PCs and assume that Jobs can easily grow his Mac business at least two fold in the next five years or so -- an assumption that helps explain the high multiples in Apple's current share price.
But if you look at the high-priced markets Apple chooses to play in, says Sacconaghi, you see that it already has a surprisingly dominant market share -- without much room for growth.
Take, for example, the market for the most expensive notebook computers. Dividing notebook price ranges into fifths, or quintiles as the statisticians call them, Apple already has a 29% share of the U.S. market for notebook computers in the highest quintile -- up "stunningly," notes Sacconaghi, from 8% three years ago. In the consumer and education market (i.e. excluding business computers), Apple share of the top quintile notebook market is nearly 46%.
While other PC makers have been lowering their average selling price, Apple has been steadily increasing its price premiums relative to the rest of the market -- great for keeping profit margins high, but not so good for growing market share.
"Accordingly," Sacconaghi concludes, "we believe Apple faces a trade-off in its Mac business over the next 2 - 3 years: either lower price (and margin percentage) to sustain share gains, or retain its current price premiums and face slowing unit growth."

I want to apologize ahead of time if this article isn't up to its usual standards. I've been up late doing paperwork and homework but I had to get this post out. I've doing some motivational speaking lately and I truly never realized how badly we need encouragement these days. I was speaking at a treatment facility in Dover to a great group of people and I made the bold and slightly crazy statement that all change is good. You know I love to be controversial and this immediately sparked blunt and brutal conversation about pain, heartbreak and grief. Believe it or not, I wanted this reaction from the annoyed crowd that could turn into an angry mob at any moment. You could hear the razor blades of grief as one person candidly spoke about the loss of a family member. The room of witnesses nodded in acknowledgement and they all turned to look at me with a silent question, "How can this be good???" I have to admit I was a little more than nervous at that moment and I was glad I had already went to the bathroom prior to speaking. The seconds felt like an eternity as I carefully crafted my response.
Earlier in the day I was talking to my mother, who means well and loves me to death but can on occasion sink my battleship of confidence. I had told her my secret about speaking in public and she was aghast with concern. I told her the truth that I pretty much prepare to speak maybe 15 minutes before I talk to folks. I know that sounds crazy but when I spent hours studying and memorizing topics and witty anecdotes, it never went the way I planned and I would lose my flow when someone in the audience didn't follow the script I had in my head. Things never went according to my master plan. Funny, that's kinda how my whole life has been: adapting to challenges, disappointments, failures and successes.
For the sake of time because I'm way past the moment I normally crash into unconsciousness on my bed, we will skip talking about the successes. Though I do find many people truly do have a hard time handling the victories as well as the viruses, maybe we can talk about that next time. Speaking about my own turbulent testimonies my greatest asset beyond prayer, friends and family has been my attitude. I simply refuse to give in to despair and depression anymore. Yes I ashamedly admit to being a devoted disciple of the depressed. My faith was to have no faith; my hope was ground into a fine dust that I would sprinkle on others, never truly believing my own words. My dreams died with Santa Clause and the East Bunny. I sucked up self-pity like it was a tasty shake at DQ. My cracked coping skills were to trust no one, lie to everyone, please anyone and by any means necessary avoid rejection, heartbreak and failure. I hid in a world of denial, distraction and delusion. I believed I couldn't handle any more pain and so I acted as if that were the truth.
What makes our pain so unique that we can't crawl out of it? What makes our addiction so strong that we can't overcome it? What makes my problems so big that I can't endure it? Do we have a monopoly on misery or are we guilty of getting extra unnecessary mileage out of our messy mistakes and tragedies? I know I was justifying well beyond any reasonable justification. I purposely set up a shelter in my shame and regrets. I put in my resignation for living and quit anything that brought meaning into my life. I know many friends don't remember this dark period of my life but that is because I didn't show them I didn't want them to know how sad I truly was… I didn't want them to pray for me, cheer me up or help me. Thank God that is not where my story ended but I did want it to end back then. I was so wrong.
I looked at the group of people who had normalized negativity to the point where it was a tangible invisible coat they wore without awareness. I spoke with a confidence I never knew in the past and explained that the trauma we encounter is not in itself good but the choice to live, learn and eventually laugh, teaches ourselves and others how to make it through the worst of times to get to the best of times! We are supposed to hurt and cry but we aren't meant to die in our tears. People survived and lived after Katrina hit! Families continued to love and remember after the massacre at the movie theatre! Individuals even prayed and forgave the killer at Sandy Hook!! Can I do any less by choosing to live with my pain instead of being a slave to it! Can you do any less? Our scars signify our struggles and our strength so be proud and confident of where you came from because your story is like no other and it's meant to be told! We are a product of our experiences and those experiences are meant to make us strong, unique, beautiful and grateful and that is why change is good! Boom!

Masters portal
Sciences Po's graduate programmes prepare students for a wide range of professions in the public and private sectors. Graduates of these programmes possess a strong academic background and in-depth knowledge of how the professional world really works. Their skills are highly appreciated by recruiters.
Choosing a career path
Sciences Po's Master's degree programmes stand out for uniting academic and professional focuses. Programmes last four semesters: three semesters at Sciences Po in Paris and one semester away, to complete an internship or pursue studies in France or abroad within our partner network. These programmes lead to a Master's degree, opening doors to a large number of career specialisations. You will find below a brief guide for choosing your programme.
- School of Public Affairs
- Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA)
- Master in International Security
- Master in International Public Management
- Master in International Economic Policy
- Master in Environmental Policy
- Dual Degree in Environmental Science and Policy (with Paris VI)

- Master in Public Policy
- Master in European affairs
- Master in Finance and stratégie (mention finance)
- Master in Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources
- Master Communications, Media and Creative Industries
- Master in Marketing and Market Research
- Master in Journalism
A wide and varied curriculum
Many hours of courses are offered throughout the two years of the Master. The study program consists of four semesters, each lasting thirteen weeks, one of which is spent outside Sciences Po. Each student undertakes an internship in a company or administration or a study program in one of Sciences Po's foreign partner universities.
The program for the apprenticeship Master also consists of four semesters: two at Sciences Po and two that alternate work and study. During the semesters at Sciences Po, students must follow and validate a certain number of courses (or modules) before they can sit the tests for the Master.
These courses are defined as a function of the Master chosen and consist of specialized courses (mandatory or elective), common core curriculum courses, foreign-language classes and a group project allowing students to acquire concrete experience in project management.
An interdisciplinary education
Students can choose from a wide range of courses covering core subjects, such as Management of Economic Policies, Public Freedoms and Fundamental Rights, Major European Challenges, Theory of Organizations or the Interconnections between Science, Society and Policy.
These core courses, which provide a strong structural framework both in terms of conceptual content and methodological rigor, are a specific hallmark of the Sciences Po Master.
Particular importance is placed on written and oral command of two foreign languages as a vital prerequisite for entry into a labor market that is now both European and international. Courses in English are an integral part of the education offered at Sciences Po and the proportion of such courses is continuing to increase. Some masters also offer concentrations taught entirely in English.
Rigorous methodological training
The program is grounded in development of skills in self-expression, both written and oral. Oral presentations delivered in a limited time in the tutorial groups teach students to cover the essentials in a clear and lively manner. Essays, summary reports and term papers help them call up and structure their knowledge and construct logical arguments.
Many of the exercises offered in the tutorial groups (debates, simulation games, etc.) call on an aptitude for teamwork, which is also the basic educational aim of the group project.

O'Sensei developed the Aiki Ken and Jo Suburi, which thankfully have been faithfully preserved and transmitted as excellent forms from which Aikidoka can develop precise technique in both empty-handed taijutsu and weapons partner practices. The basis for the utility of Suburi is the introduction of large external objects that increase visibility and awareness of all aspects of Aikido technique.
At Shugyo Aikido Dojo we teach the Suburi to beginners as part of a standardized curriculum in the traditions passed to us through our lineage with Morihiro Saito Shihan, Hitohiro Saito Shihan, and Pat Hendricks Shihan, and we encourage advanced students to continue exploring the Suburi as a means to deepen competence in all aspects of Aikido.
The Suburi are helpful exercises that enable students to put into meaningful practice their understanding of lines and positioning, develop hanmi, kokyu, and dynamic balance, establish effective movement from center and hips, and work on timing of movement and breath. They are the subatomic particles that comprise our more complex movements, and provide an invaluable opportunity to refine and perfect the innumerable details that go into each technique. The more deeply we explore and live with the Suburi, the greater the connection we find with all forms of Aikido technique. The Aiki Ken and Jo Suburi truly are a magnificent creation by O'Sensei, and his beautiful gift to all of us contains the key and gateway to mastery of the art. The more advanced we become, the more deeply we are invited to explore the Suburi, and the greater the reward of discovery this path offers.
This is the 24th in a 27-part series on the Aiki Ken and Jo Suburi, and the 4th in a series of 7 articles on the Aiki Ken Suburi. All articles in the series are paired with YouTube video demonstrations of each of the Suburi (click here to subscribe to the channel). These paired demonstrations and articles are offered to Aikidoka who would like to more fully understand the precise mechanics within each of the Suburi, how they can be practiced in both solo and partner settings, and how one can align the Suburi with taijutsu to develop increasing competence and precision with both basic and advanced technique.
Yon No Suburi
In this article on the Aiki Ken, we examine Yon No Suburi, which is the fourth of the Aiki Ken Suburi. In summary, Yon No Suburi is an application of the quintessential shomen strike, adding the symmetry of both left and right orientation to the strike. Click here to view a video demonstration of the components of this Suburi. The exercise requires a fluid combination of movements that can be divided into 4 major sections:
- Right and left side shomen strikes
- Pivot
- Right and left side shomen strikes
- Pivot and final shomen strike
The movement begins while standing in right hanmi with the bokken being held in shomen kamai, meaning that it is held in front of your body with the tip pointing toward an imaginary opponent's throat. Both knees are flexed, and your right foot is forward, pointing directly in front of you. Your left hand is at the edge of the hilt, positioned about 2 inches below your navel. Your right hand is positioned further up the bokken with at least one hand width of space beyond your left hand. The knuckles of both index fingers are positioned on top of the bokken to facilitate kokyu. Your left shoulder is back and relaxed. Drop your center by bending your knees while staying in an aligned posture. Breathing in, begin to kokyu your left hand (extending in an upward arc) so the tip of the bokken begins to lift. Shift your weight back onto the ball of your left foot while coiling your left hip. Draw your right foot in so until it is just in front of your left foot, while drawing the bokken behind your back while keeping your elbows in. By the time your right foot is in its new position, the tip of the bokken is dropped to your spine, and you have drawn in a full breath. You now have a lower center of gravity, in hanmi and on the balls of your feet, with your hips coiled, knees bent, and lungs filled with air. There is a lot of energy stored in this position, just waiting to be released. This completes the gather energy movement. There are numerous teaching and practice opportunities just in this initial moment of the exercise: standing in proper hanmi with alignment and balance, kokyu, coiling the hips, and breathing in are individual activities that can be directed in a structured series of activities. This completes a right side shomen strike.
You will next complete a left side shomen strike: using the same application of kokyu, acknowledging that your weight is already shifted forward onto your right foot from the previous strike, push off the ball of your right foot and complete a shomen strike, ending on your left foot.
Typically there are 4 alternating strikes while moving forward: right, left, right, left.
At this point you will execute a pivot while simultaneously executing a shomen strike. You can do this by turning the ball of your left foot clockwise while bringing the bokken to your spine, Lift your right foot and replace it so your stance allows you to face in the opposite direction while completing the strike.
The strike at the end of the pivot began your second series of alternating strikes, so add a left, right, and left strike to complete the series.
Finally, execute the final pivot and shomen strike. You should be facing in the initial direction for the exercise.
This suburi is actually a combination of strikes, in which we apply Ichi No Suburi using a series of alternating right and left side strikes combined with pivots. One area of attention then is to stress the proper foot work required to maintain the integrity of the strikes, while balancing the tension throughout the body required to maintain proper form and weight transfer during the strikes. The use of a strike while pivoting likewise helps students learn the proper dynamics of a pivot that includes proper balance, weight transfer, and coordination with technique.

AUBURN HILLS -- Everybody says they love Detroit when they play around here. But Beyonce wasn't merely paying show biz lip services when she said "I love this city" on Saturday night, July 20, at The Palace.
Early on in her nearly two-hour show, the multi-platinum pop diva added a version of the Sam Cooke spiritual "A Change is Gonna Come" to the set, accompanied by a Detroit video montage that included key sites as well as key personalities from boxer Joe Louis to music icons such as Bob Seger, Kid Rock, Eminem, the White Stripes and a full array of Motown legends. The song ended with the video declaration that "Nothing Stops Detroit!"
'Nuf said.
And it wasn't like Beyonce -- who skied into town Saturday after attending a Trayvon Martin rally earlier in the day with her husband, rapper Jay Z, in New York -- needed to shill for the Motor City crowd's support. It was clearly hooked when it scooped up all the tickets as they went on sale earlier in the year, and the high-volume response even to Beyonce's image appearing on the video screens before the show started indicated she would have them at "hello."
But her "Mrs. Carter Show" delivered the most fully conceived exposition of the former Destiny's Child's solo career so far, a crisp and tightly executed spectacle that managed to dazzle without going completely over the top. The 22 songs -- drawn primarily from Beyonce's last two albums, 2008's "I Am...Sasha Fierce" and 2011's "4" -- were dressed up with plenty of slick ensemble choreography, high-concept video segues, flashy staging, pyrotechnics and costuming (10 different outfits during the show), but never at the expense of the songs themselves or the human focus of the performance.
Fronting the 11-member all-female Suga Mama band and surrounded by 10 dancers (just two of them male), Beyonce came out swinging with a punchy "Run the World (Girls)" and a funky "End of Time" before softening her tone on "Flaws and All." Each song was treated as its own fully-conceived moment, but particular highlights included a mash-up of her "If I Were a Boy" with The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony," the a capella openings of "Get Me Bodied" and a bit of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" before the encore of "Halo," a kinetic pairing of "Freakum Dress" and "I Care" that spotlighted guitarist Bibi McGill and a remix-style arrangement of "Baby Boy."
After writhing atop a grand piano during "1+1" Beyonce flew through a cloud of glitter a second stage set up near the rear of The Palace floor for three songs that included a fierce "Love On Top" and her lone "Destiny's Child" song, "Survivor." Returning to the main stage, Beyonce finished with a take-no-prisoners tear through "Crazy In Love," "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" (with a bit of "The Jefferson" TV theme "Movin' on Up" tossed in) and "Grown Woman," the latter accompanied by a shower of gold (of course) confetti.
In a somewhat self-serving late-show video about her accomplishments and ambitions, a Beyonce voice-over told us that at the end of her days she hoped to be able to say "I was here. I did. I've done." On Saturday at The Palace, at least, she certainly did more than was expected.
Beyonce's opener, newcomer Luke James, acquitted himself well, too, during his half-hour onstage, confidently showcasing the two singles he's released so far -- the Grammy Award-nominated, "I Want You" and "I.O.U." -- and covering portions of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" and Marvin Gaye's "Keep on Dancing." He also made sure the crowd remembered his name with repeated mentions -- and even spelling out L-U-K-E at one point.

Property owners and renters must complete an application for New Water Service. Please refer to the New Residential Water and Sewer Service Application or New Business Water and Sewer Service Application.
Renters must provide the name of the owner or managing agency of the property. All persons or entities must pay the appropriate utility deposit.
How much is the utility deposit?
The amount of the utility deposit depends upon the size of the water meter installed at the property. Please see the Schedule of Utility Deposits.

Peter Capaldi saddles up and dresses down for first Doctor Who scenes
The new Doctor rides into town on a horse, wearing nothing but a nightshirt
Since Peter Capaldi took over the role of the Doctor from Matt Smith, one of the big questions on fans' lips has been what will replace that famous tweed jacket and bow-tie combo?
Well shots from the set of Capaldi's first scenes do indeed show him in a new outfit – although it's possible it won't be his choice of attire week in week out in the Tardis.
The Doctor is seen wearing an old fashioned nightgown while riding a horse (a combination which strikes us as both drafty and uncomfortable) in a scene which appears to be set in Ireland at some point in the last century or so.
The green post box spotted on the street points to the likely location while horse-drawn carriages and characters in period dress – including the Doctor's friends Strax, Jenny and Madam Vastra – suggest the era.
Capaldi is not the first incarnation of the Doctor to make his debut in nightwear. David Tennant spent his entire first episode in pyjamas and a dressing gown and still managed to thwart an alien invasion.

The 40-nation Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, made public on Wednesday morning, isn't the only attack on piracy that's bringing smiles to faces in Hollywood.
The U.S. Senate's proposed Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act — introduced into committee by Sen. Patrick Leahy late last month — also is making the movie and music industry folks happy.
But despite the assurance that its intent is to target "the worst of the worst counterfeiters and copyright pirates online," a growing number of critics say there is no evidence it will actually work.
The problem, critics contend, is that it isn't likely to do much to stop sites that provide access to unauthorized downloads.
In fact, it could endanger legal sites.
Still a long way from passage, the legislation gives the Department of Justice and the courts the power to pull the plug on sites that infringe on American intellectual property such as software, movies, television shows and music.
It also would allow the DOJ to compel internet service providers like AT&T or Verizon to block U.S. access to infringing sites it identifies — the very behavior the U.S. has long criticized in nations like China and Iran.
If it were law today, sites like Pirate Bay would disappear from American computer screens, which many — especially in the industry — think would be appropriate.
"What this bill says to the world is that in the United States we favor legitimacy, and we will not promote or protect these type of sites that are profiting from stealing our stuff," Michael O'Leary, the MPAA's executive vice president of government relations, told TheWrap.
Agrees technology consultant Chantal Payette: "The sites that carry this material are no better than drug dealers, they are breaking the law."
But simply shutting down offending sites may be easier said than done.
"Unless you're going to close down the whole internet or come up with a new business model, you are never going to be able to stop people sharing digital content, legally or illegally," a music industry insider who has watched past attempts to stop piracy flounder told TheWrap.
Indeed, earlier this summer, after the government launched Operation In Our Sites, its latest attempt at targeting online piracy, the MPAA and others found out just how limited their version of legitimacy could be.
Law enforcement officials in New York seized the domain names of TVShack.net, Movies-links.tv, and others illegally showing first-run films and shut them down. It worked — like efforts to stifle the BitTorrent site Pirate Bay. But just for a while.
The U.S. Attorney may have pledged at the time that "if your business model is movie piracy, your story will not have a happy ending"– but within days the newly created and now off-shore TVShack.cc sprung right back up.
"What you're talking about," says the pessimistic label executive, "is like finding a glass of water in the ocean, and it's too fluid to ever get your hands on."
And once you start shutting sites down, it's not always certain where to draw the line, critics contend. By aiming wide in its war on online piracy, they fear, Leahy's legislation would put a lot of perfectly legal sites out of business, too.
"The bill," said 87 prominent internet engineers in an objecting letter to Leahy and the Judiciary Committee, "will introduce censorship that will simultaneously be circumvented by deliberate infringers while hampering innocent parties' ability to communicate."
"People like to pretend that copyright infringement is a clear thing, but that is ignoring fair use," says the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Rebecca Jeschke. "Presently, you can use part of a movie or a song as part of criticism or commentary and that could be, when misapplied under this bill, shut down."
Additionally, as internet pioneers like Paul Vixie, author of DNS server software BIND, pointed out in the letter to Leahy in late September, under the same piracy mechanism the bill "will be particularly egregious in that regard because it causes entire domains to vanish from the web, not just infringing pages or files."
"With this bill, the United States is saying that breaking the internet is a suitable policy approach to content you don't like," says Matt Schruers, senior counsel for the Computer & Communications Industry Association, whose members include Microsoft, Facebook and Google. "What we do for IP, Chinese authorities will want to do for democracy and Falun Gong, and Turkish authorities will want to do for Kurdish groups."
Finally, charges of censorship aside, there are also legal concerns. "The privacy issues and proprietary issues for service providers and others will tie this up in the courts," the music executive told TheWrap, "and while that plays itself out, the rogue sites will find a way to continue."
While admitting Leahy's proposed bill is far from perfect, the MPAA's O'Leary says it's a vital first step towards halting the rapidly growing problem. But he also cautions that both critics and supporters need to bring the volume down a bit and let the legislative process play itself out before casting any final judgments.
"I spend a lot less time worrying about what things look like at the beginning and a lot more time worrying about they'll look like in the end," he told TheWrap.

text: True. An empirical study of misunderstandings would be interesting. Although untangling syntax and grammar could be a rather Gordian task...I agree with you. She is unmarked (it refers to the head of the PossP, the closest (unbounded) noun, but the problem for some speakers, native and non-native alike, is in determining the boundaries. Sue's grandmother is a name, just like Sue. Both NPs (noun phrases) can head the PossP, which is why, I believe, pronominal she can be ambiguous for some.
