I am interested in learning of the weapons, the proper way to use them, and the discipline of the Samurai. I am looking for a traditional educational experience that involves both historical and cultural knowledge. I am looking for a teacher that will help me develop my ability to use the Japanese sword, although I have no intention of using the weapon(s) outside of practice. I merely admire the ways of the Samurai and their culture.

I would love to travel abroad... especially to Japan. But I am American, and I am open to the idea of training and learning here in the U.S. if the cultural experience will not be less than that which I would find in Japan.

Serious answers only, please.

why does every granola bar eating, hemp smoking,rasta hate wearing, save the rain forest college smart *** have to compare bush to hitler?
is it because of the multitudes of soldiers that have
died? maybe. but that's war. war is hell. regardless of the figure head or leader we're going to have fallen soldiers. look at the american revolution or the civil war. we wouldn't live in a country today where people could arbitraily compare G.W to one of the worst(or best?) despots in the 20th century if those sacrifices havn't been made.

'he' must refer to a person, not a spirit, right?

John 16:12-14 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you

The white area is located on the bottom part of my scrotum.
I also noticed its alittle more sensitive than the normal areas of my scrotum. For example, when I touch the white area with my nail it feels really sharp compared to the normal colored area of my scrotum. please any advice???

And whether you will have to buy a new one? What is Direct X and how can you tell if your computer can run version 10. Where can you find out what type of graphics card your computer has. Our family has 3 computes. This is what the slowest one says when I look at 'My Computer' 899MHz, 512MB of RAM. Will this be able to run Vista and Windows Aero. Also what is Aero?

I have been seeing this girl for a little over 4 months now. Everything is great between us and we couldn't be happier together, but there is one problem... her mother is controlling beyond the level that anyone would consider normal.

Now, she's the only child and daughter in a family, so it makes sense that they might have a few rules, its normal for teenagers to have boundries, but the girl is 20, almost 21 and she still has to call her mom to check in when we get somewhere. Her mother recently flipped out on her because she told her mom that she was going to my grandmother's with me for dinner... her mother expected her to ask instead!

Its getting to the point where this lady almost seems to be trying to tear us apart. I'm not some drop-out kid either, i'm graduating college soon, i have a job lined up, all the stuff that most parents would want, but for some reason this lady hates me.

I can't come up with any more ideas to make her relax her rules. Any suggestions?

They offer you $250,000 to keep quiet about the find - they'll turn in some drugs and some of the money. Your daughter needs a new pancreas or she will die - you have no health insurance for her.

So Jesus supposedly died for our sins. In doing so he was condemned to hell for 3 days then got into heaven. Now people are expected to believe in him, worship etc to earn eternal life. Shouldn't we all be able to get off after 3 days? It's like the neighbor kid who wanted 20 bucks for doing a half *** job mowing my lawn.

i've been taking it for many years and am now in a real bad spot mentally and emotionally. i know i need help real bad but it's not as easy as it would seem to be. things just seem to be getting worse by the day. the prozac obviously isn't working anymore. i take it in combination with wellbutrin but haven't seen any positive results from that drug.
