Being a storm chaser has always called my attention… it would be great also to know a storm chaser’s opinion.

I am basically looking for a website (a community suite or guide site) which contains tips, tutorials, exercises, drills and advice to improve my martial arts, regardless of the discipline.

Hopefully looking for video tutorials and guides which teaches kicks, strikes and blocks.
Simpler kicks (Front, side, round-house) as well as the more advanced (Reverse crescent, tornado, flying side, 540 degree)

Drills and plans which could help improve my speed and strength in my striking, movement and kicking? Certain tips on how I should be training and exercises I should be doing to improve certain aspects. As well as fitness guides and how much i should be exercising and eating to improve my stamina and over all fitness.

Guides of stretches; How to do them, Which ones cover my body better and how long I should be doing them.

This was a pretty crappily asked question, I’m pretty much just looking for a website which covers basic and advanced martial arts techniques and exercises (as I said, Kicks, strength, speed, stamina and stretching ) perhaps a forum or community website which could also contain Video guides or guides I could read. You know what I mean? Just really good websites that cover general AND specific Martial arts and combat which help practitioners like me.

If you know of any websites like this (more than one is fine) putting them up would be awesome.
To Katana, I hope you get to read this.

I read your answer and it did hit me.
I probably emphasized on the wrong thing in my question, I am really just looking for a guide to help me along with my training, I agree with what you are saying, I do train (not at the moment, I’m away in India right now) under a Tae Kwon do instructor who I consult at every moment i get about my technique.

I’m really just looking for a guide that will help me with my fitness, strength, speed and yes, technique. Not to completely rely on, but just to help me with training I already take part in.
I see nothing wrong with getting a little bit of "help" from outside my dojang…Even if it is from the internet.

I appreciate your input and will value it. I understand the point you were trying to make. =D

After 3 yrs he took me to Venice and proposed. Heaven. The only strange thing was that he didnt like me spending the nights at his house except saturdays or half term holidays. I saw him nearly every night and we were always together. His family and mine were happy or us. He told me quite early on that he would like to work abroad at some point. I spent most of my time trying to find a job abroad so we could go together. My only stipulation was he try and go to an english speaking country as this gave me a good chance of finding a job as well as I wanted him to have his dream. After 5 or 6 years, I mentioned isnt it about time we started thinking about living tgether? He said that he was scared of living together so I agreed how about we try
me staying more than 1 night a week t start off with as we are together all the time on holidays and it has never been a problem. He agreed but it never happened. After 6 years like this my family and his started to say he was using me as we did everything couples do except live together. They constantly questioned me about where we were going, if we had a future etc. They semed to blame me where it was his decision to not have us move in. I told him to please talk to them as I was under so much pressure from everybody. Last year I lost my job unfairly and was considering legal action. I was in such a mess and told him he could do better than me as I was a nothing and a nobody (I was very depressed) After 5 weeks I found another job but found out he had secretely asked another girl out. He said he was so sorry,it was becuase I said he could do better. We stayed together, I said we need to move this relationship up as engaged now for 4 years and still no
improvement on living together. I decided to get out from the pressure of my parents and buy my own home. He agreed and helped me with the deposit saying we would have our own place (even though he already lives alone) so he could live with me. During this his pal, became ill with Cancer – he dealt with this by cutting himself off from me saying he was going through a terrible time and his job was possibly being cut too. I said should we have a break so he could deal with the situation, he said he couldnt handle any external pressure namely me as I was asking him when I coud stay the night (getting angry in the process as he didnt undertsand why I felt used for sex) After two months of not seeing him properly, I asked him what was going on and he said everytime he saw me he gets stressed out. I have stood by him through two fatal accidents, his workload, his ups and downs etc and was finally at breaking point. I found out that a younger girl (20 yrs
younger) had asked him out and he was seeing her. she told me to get lost he was with her now!!

She text me lots of vindictive messages and he did not stop it. He said he was at his lowest when he met her and wants us to get back together. the house I bought went through when he was with her. I am on my own now doing it up, his work found out about them and sacked him. He has now had to move away for work. Is this my fault and how do I get us back together.
When I asked him why he did this, he said because I told him I would be leaving after another year if things didn?t change a bit, also he was at his lowest point in life because of his pal dying. He told me he only got engaged to me to keep me until somebody better came along. After 6 months we started talking again and he said he didnt mean anything he said. have now found out he is seeing somebody abroad; I saw their photo on face book. I confronted him and he has just said he doesnt want to hurt me.

Now though, he is with this other woman moving on. The girl he cheated on me with has moved onto her next target without a care in the world. I am left holding the bag all on my own. She broke us up like a tornado and has now left a path of destruction. How do I get my life on track, I have not many pals and am very alone. I see her everywhere happy and smiling whereas I have just lost the bset thing I ever had and I cant cope with the loss. Her ex told me she is destructive. She breaks up families and moves on. Now my guy and I are in different countries and moving on. How do I move on to? I just cant take this.
I really want to meet that special person and thought I’d found him. Shall I move to south seas to teah english and start a new life?
Sorry this is long.
Just a long story.

SoCal Val doing the ring announcing. Jeremy Borash and Taz at the announce table. A new Xplosion video debuts.

Xplosion:

* Daffney vs. Taylor Wilde. Daffney wins after using a chain while the referee wasn’t looking. Sarita is out complaining to the referee. Andrew Thomas restarted the match. Winner via quick roll-up, Taylor Wilde. After the match, Daffney attacks Sarita. Taylor Wilde stopped her and rolled her out of the ring.

* Brutus Magnus vs. Suicide. Winner via spinning TKO type maneuver, Brutus Magnus. Brutus gets on the mic and says he’s had 3 months off to reassess and refocus and there’s only one thing on his mind – championship gold. He accepts Rob Terry’s open challenge. Terry comes out and says the good news is he never backs out from a challenge. The bad news is Homicide went to Eric Bischoff first and took the challenge. Magnus says what really is happening is Terry is afraid of him. Terry comes to the ring and gets in his face. Magnus slaps him and bails.

TNA Impact (Airing Thursday on Spike TV):

* JB takes over for Val as the ring announcer and Mike Tenay joins Taz at his regular broadcast position.

* Eric Bischoff on video in his office. He says being a part of TNA is an honor and a privilege. Due to actions outside the ring by Scott Hall, The Band is stripped of the titles and a tournament starts tonight. The winners of the tournament face the Motor City Machine Guns at the PPV.

* Semi tournament match of the tag tournament: The Band of Kevin Nash and Eric Young vs Ink Inc. Winner via Samoan drop/neckbreaker off the top combo, Ink Inc

* Ric Flair is out with his "Five Horsemen". He says he’s going to make an announcement that changes the face of the greatest sport in the world. Flair says he’s reforming the four horsemen but is calling it Fortune. He says the Horsemen were the best because they lived, loved and breathed wrestling. Flair gets in each guy’s face and says what the horseman would do in their place. Flair says it’s not the Four Horsemen but it’s the same hand sign. Flair then asks AJ if he’s kidding me about Lethal last night? Flair says AJ committed suicide last night losing to a piss ant like Lethal. Lethal comes out in a suit and does his Flair impersonation. He asks if someone mentioned the Four Horsemen, the greatest group ever? He says it looks like they were here and took a dump in the ring. He says that they are not the Horsemen and it’s disrespectful to him and the Horsemen. Flair says Lethal is nothing and not Ric Flair. Lethal throws his jacket down and elbow drops it. They start doing woos back and forth and cutting each other off with Flairisms. Wolfe finally tries to cut off Lethal. He calls Lethal a cheap imitation. Wolfe challenges Lethal to a match later to prove himself. Lethal says Wolfe can’t control his woman. Lethal agrees to the match later tonight.

* Hernandez vs Samoa Joe. During the match Morgan gave Hernandez a low blow while the referee was distracted. Winner via exploder suplex, Samoa Joe

* Backstage AJ is talking to Desmond about his match. He says sure Chelsea is gone, but he needs to get his woman in order and focus on the match.

* Douglas Williams is out. He says the X Division is over and dead because he’s rendered everybody else and their moves irrelevant. From now on the X Division will be synonymous with the ground and pound style he uses and he’ll have a demonstration tonight on his opponent.

* Douglas Williams vs. Max Buck. Winner via jumping tornado DDT off the turnbuckles, Douglas Williams. Afterwards Williams started choking out Buck with a cravat. Brian Kendrick ran out for the save and choked out Williams.

* Angelina Love is out for a match. She says since being out with an injury she realized an athlete’s career could end at any time so she’s not wasting anymore time so tonight it’s her and Lacey Von Erich, next it’s Velvet Sky and finally at the PPV she’s getting her Knockout Title back from Madison Rayne.

* Angelina Love vs. Lacey Von Erich. Winner via DQ, Lacey Von Erich. Angelina brought a chair to the ring and DDTed Lacey on it

* Christy Hemme backstage with Jeff Hardy. Abyss vs. Hardy vs. Anderson for the #1 contendership spot. Hemme asks if Hardy can trust Anderson? Anderson interrupts and says people are trying to stir up trouble. It’s like when you were kids playing a game against your friends and afterwards still being friends. It’s just like that and Anderson will still be buds with Hardy afterwards.

* Tag team tournament semi final, Team 3D vs. Beer Money Inc. Brother Devon and Brother Ray are arguing before the match starts. Ink Inc. join commentary during the match. Winner via beer spit in the face of Devon and a schoolboy from Roode, Beer Money Inc. Devon went for a 3D but Bubba had left to attack Neal at commentary. Afterwards Devon and Ray argue. Ray slapped Devon in the back o

OK I have a (Don’t laugh) AE-1 Canon. When I was 15 I was broke. Anyways I love photography and have done some pretty cool things. I’m 22 now and I’m finally gonna take some classes on how to use an SLR even though I know my way around one pretty good. Just the Fancy stuff I don’t know.

I’m looking for a good beginner DSLR but I want it to last me a good 5 or 7 years. I’m not a professional and don’t plan on becoming one but I do and will be using it’s full potential. So far I been looking at the T2i. So what do you guys think?

To give you an idea of what I will be using it for is taking pictures of still cars, I use a fish eye a lot at skate parks but not much anymore, Micro photography, and I’m also a trained storm chaser so I’m waiting for that rare pic of a tornado.
Thanks Jim, Yup the Canon 1000D is one that I was looking at. Seems to be a good camera and who can’t love the price. I love what you have up on flickr. I like how you right down what you had your setting on. Thanks again and you do have some great pictures.

You know that part in the movie Twister where Jill wants to deploy Dorthy in the twister and the guy’s like "no we’re too close you crazy b*tch" and she’s like "RARR IMMA DO IT ANYWAY!" and then they somehow make it romantic but meanwhile the tornado overhead like.. disappears and keeps reappearing every now and then? What the hell is with that? Can that really happen? What’s it called, and are there any videos of a real one? I find it fascinating.

"No, don’t report him." "Why? He hurt you." "Stop acting like a hero.You’re not one so stop." "I just saved you some bruises."Anna screamed, I see a vaguely familiar van. My heart stops. "GET IN THE CAR YOU STUPID KIDS." My dad screamed.

"Okay kids. Anna sit over there, your dad knows you’re here. Nikki come here." He said with a voice that scared me. I stood up and walked toward him. He grabbed my arm and slammed me to the wall. I felt a spasm of pain and and heard a pop. Anna screamed. He closed the distance and smacked my face. Anna was behind him trying to get him to stop. I just noticed she was crying and I saw her lips moving and him screaming. I was zoned out. His smack to Anna’s face brought me back. Everything was moving in slow motion. She screamed and tears ran down her face. he turned around and pushed her into a table. I screamed and he smacked me, punched my nose, kicked me, and kept beating me. I guess he got bored. He left and walked away. "Anna, Are you okay?" I said my voice pitched because I was so worried. "What about you? You’re bruised head to toe. You’re dad’s smart, he knows I hate seeing you be hurt." Anna said with tears in her eyes and her voice choked with sadness. "Why do you always have to care about me? It’s your first, don’t worry, I know how you feel." "I’m telling my dad though." "No, you won’t be allowed here again, or I’ll get reported. He once told me if I report, he’ll stab me while they come. I don’t want to die." My voice choked on die. "Don’t worry, my dad will take you." Anna said, her voice so sure. "Or not" I look back and my dad has a cigarette and he presses it to Anna’s arm. and then mine. Anna screamed. I didn’t. I knew better, he finds it satisfying, in a sick way of his. There was a knock on the door. "I better go get it." My dad growled. "DON’T MOVE FATTIES!!" "I can’t be fat if you starve me." I said, and knew I would pay for it. Anna took out her phone and took a picture f us. The room was so dark she had to put her phone on flash. I had dried blood under my nose, my eyes were black, and Anna had a bruise on her face. Then we took a picture of our burn marks. Her bruise would fade in a day. Our burns were circular and puffy and blackish. I would estimate a 2 degree burn. "Hello Jordan Gray. I heard screaming." Said a familiar voice. "Dad!" Anna said relived. "Hey honey!" What happened? It looks like you’ve both been crying?" Her dad said astonished. "We just watched a sad movie." I said quickly before Anna could tell him the truth. "My Sisters Keeper, based off the book by Jodi Picoult." I said before he asked which movie. My dad was glaring at me. I felt like wind, everyone knows you’re there, people can feel you, and no one knows what will happen to you, if you’ll be a tornado, or a nice breeze. People can also see right through you. "Anna, what happened to your face? And Nikki, you have black eyes. Is that blood under your nose? Mr. Gray, what has been going on here?" Mr. Johnson said with surprise. "Noth-" My dad said with his angry voice that sent me shivers. "What happened to your arm Anna? Nikki are those cuts on your arms? And why is your tooth chipped? Is your dad abusing you? I’m calling the cops." Mr. Johnson said taking out his phone. My dad left the room. I was terrified. "Yes, I’d like t-" He stopped his talk on the phone. Anna screamed. I felt a sharp pain under my ribs. The world went black.

was in my hometown of Amarillo, TX where tornadoes pop up quite frequently in the spring/summer seasons. Me and a few friends decided to start tracking a storm all the way out of town into the country where nobody was to be seen, then a wall cloud dropped down, and a giant "F15 like" tornado started spinning quickly but didn’t touch the ground. i look at my phone then look back up and it has turned into a Black Hole of some sort where currents of dark matter where flowing all over the place and i could see a neutron star in the center…this disturbed me in many different ways. In the dream i had recorded a video of it into my phone i don’t remember exactly what happened after that but all i knew was that i was all alone and when i woke up i was baffled. Is there any meaning to this insanely disturbing dream?

All answers appreciated.

saw him nearly every night and we were always together. His family and mine were happy or us. He told me quite early on that he would like to work abroad at some point. I spent most of my time trying to find a job abroad so we could go together. My only stipulation was he try and go to an english speaking country as this gave me a good chance of finding a job as well as I wanted him to have his dream. After 5 or 6 years, I mentioned isnt it about time we started thinking about living tgether? He said that he was scared of living together so I agreed how about we try
me staying more than 1 night a week t start off with as we are together all the time on holidays and it has never been a problem. He agreed but it never happened. After 6 years like this my family and his started to say he was using me as we did everything couples do except live together. They constantly questioned me about where we were going, if we had a future etc. They semed to blame me where it was his decision to not have us move in. I told him to please talk to them as I was under so much pressure from everybody. Last year I lost my job unfairly and was considering legal action. I was in such a mess and told him he could do better than me as I was a nothing and a nobody (I was very depressed) After 5 weeks I found another job but found out he had secretely asked another girl out. He said he was so sorry,it was becuase I said he could do better. We stayed together, I said we need to move this relationship up as engaged now for 4 years and still no
improvement on living together. I decided to get out from the pressure of my parents and buy my own home. He agreed and helped me with the deposit saying we would have our own place (even though he already lives alone) so he could live with me. During this his pal, became ill with Cancer – he dealt with this by cutting himself off from me saying he was going through a terrible time and his job was possibly being cut too. I said should we have a break so he could deal with the situation, he said he couldnt handle any external pressure namely me as I was asking him when I coud stay the night (getting angry in the process as he didnt undertsand why I felt used for sex) After two months of not seeing him properly, I asked him what was going on and he said everytime he saw me he gets stressed out. I have stood by him through two fatal accidents, his workload, his ups and downs etc and was finally at breaking point. I found out that a younger girl (20 yrs
younger) had asked him out and he was seeing her. she told me to get lost he was with her now!!

She text me lots of vindictive messages and he did not stop it. He said he was at his lowest when he met her and wants us to get back together. the house I bought went through when he was with her. I am on my own now doing it up, his work found out about them and sacked him. He has now had to move away for work. Is this my fault and how do I get us back together.
When I asked him why he did this, he said because I told him I would be leaving after another year if things didn?t change a bit, also he was at his lowest point in life because of his pal dying. He told me he only got engaged to me to keep me until somebody better came along. After 6 months we started talking again and he said he didnt mean anything he said. have now found out he is seeing somebody abroad; I saw their photo on face book. I confronted him and he has just said he doesnt want to hurt me.

Now though, he is with this other woman moving on. The girl he cheated on me with has moved onto her next target without a care in the world. I am left holding the bag all on my own. She broke us up like a tornado and has now left a path of destruction. How do I get my life on track, I have not many pals and am very alone. I see her everywhere happy and smiling whereas I have just lost the bset thing I ever had and I cant cope with the loss. Her ex told me she is destructive. She breaks up families and moves on. Now my guy and I are in different countries and moving on. How do I move on to? I just cant take this.
I really want to meet that special person and thought I’d found him. Am I ugly, please look at pic and tell me.

i had a dream that up the road everyone in my family besides my mom ( dad brother and sister) were all in a video games type of thing. and each level was harder to survive. a giant figure that looked like scream was over us and it was almost like a tornado sucking us up his dress thing. and it was harder to stay on the ground each time. and my dad was the last one with me and then i was all alone in the game. he couldn’t "suck" me up with the tornado so he started chasing me and suffocated me. what does this mean?

Match 4; Women’s Title Match: Ms. Extreme© vs Amie vs Maria

In a very anticipated match, Extreme had to defend her title against the legend Amie and the up and coming Maria. This was sure to be a great match and it did not dissapoint. The match started off mush like the 1st triple threat of the night; all 3 staring eye to eye. Amie also followed through with the previous triple threat match by blindsiding the other 2 from behind. She attacked both women and began stomping them down on the mat. After that she pulled Maria up and whipped her into the corner. She then brought Extreme up and whipped her into Maria. Amie then ran to clothesline the 2 against each other but Extreme dodged out of the way and Amie only clotheslined Maria. But it still worked out for Amie cause directly after the clothesline she bounced out of the corner and hit a running bulldog on Extreme. She went for the pin but at 2 Maria pulled her off. So Amie got up and hit Maria with a scoop slam and got the pin on her. However, at 2 this time Extreme was the 1 to pull off Amie. Fans were relatively mixed in this match but found themselves mainly cheering for Extreme and Maria. Maria was getting a great reaction from the crowd. Amie got up as Extreme pulled her off and took Extreme down with a thunderous clothesline. Extreme was down and Amie chucked Maria back into the corner. She began landing punches all across her body and then began ramming her shoulders into Maria’s ribs. Meanwhile, Extreme began to get up and as soon as she reached her feet she came running for the attack on Amie as she was pumbling Maria. But as Extreme took off running Amie threw Maria down with a fallaway slam causing Maria to fly into Extreme as she ran right into her! Fans gasped at the collision and the impact sent Maria rolling to the outside. With Maria out of the picture Amie looked to pull off a big early win as she pulled Extreme up and placed her on her shoulders for a GTS! Fans arose to their feet and Amie went for it. But as she tossed Extreme slightly up in the air, as she began coming down Extreme countered it with a tornado DDT. Fans cheered and the match became a little more even as Amie rolled to the outside and fell behind Maria. The 2 began to slowly get up and Extreme grasped the ropes before vaulting over them looking to press onto Maria. However, Maria dodged the press dive and instead Extreme landed on Amie. Fans were fine with that and as Extreme got up Maria hoped to catch her off guard by running at her. But Extreme was ready for it and instead clotheslined her as she came running toward her. Extreme then pulled Maria up and placed her in the ring to get the pin. 1, 2, and a shoulder up. Extreme got up from the pin a bit disappointed but had no time to wallow because Amie came running from behind and clobbered Extreme in the back of the head. Extreme was down and Amie began brutally stomping long time rival Maria. She then began digging her boot into Maria’s face. The assault when on for a few seconds until Amie spotted Extreme getting back to her feet and Amie went to Extreme who was on her knees, and in an outstanding show of strength she pulled Extreme from the back of her hair straight back down driving her head into Amie’s knees. Extreme rolled around thriving in pain and Amie went back to Maria who was now on her feet. She went to deliver a hard punch but Maria reversed it and landed a shot of her own. She then followed by landing 2 more and whipped Amie toward the ropes. However, instead of colliding with the ropes Amie clotheslined Extreme who was nearby and herself over the ropes and to the floor. With both women down, Maria decided to take an incredible chance. As the 2 began slowly getting up side by side on the outside, Maria climbed up to the top rope. As soon as the 2 were up, she dove and landed a crossbody onto both of them crashing down to the floor! Fans popped out of their seats highly impressed and cheered on loudly. A Maria chant broke out and all 3 women were down. With the count out not applied in a triple threat, after nearly 30 seconds Amie and Maria began to stir. Maria obviously was up 1st and she threw Amie into the ring. Amie got to her knees as Maria slid in and Maria pulled Amie up to her feet where she hit a hurrincanrana; grasping onto Amie’s legs causing her to be rolled up for the pin. 1, 2, and a kick out at the last possible second. Maria got off of Amie but before she could do anything else she noticed Extreme on the apron. Before anything, Maria took her with a forearm to her face. But with her back turned Amie was able to hit a reversed/backwards DDT driving the back on Maria’s head down to the mat. Amie took a moment to recooperate and then went back on the attack. She pulled Maria up off the mat and rammed her head off the top turnbuckle pad a few times before slamming her down hard with an impactful crucifix powerbomb. Maria was down and Amie had her chance to make the pin. 1, 2, and a kick out

After 3 yrs he took me to Venice and proposed. Heaven. The only strange thing was that he didnt like me spending the nights at his house except saturdays or half term holidays. I saw him nearly every night and we were always together. His family and mine were happy or us. He told me quite early on that he would like to work abroad at some point.

Okay, so we have some Tornado warnings going on in Kansas, and we live in Missouri near the Kansas Boarder, but the warnings are on the other side of Kansas, away from us. Now, there is a weird color outside, it looks like it is glowing, it looks orange out almost, it is Creepy. Now, my Step-Mom has heard that a tornado usually comes after this kind of thing. Why is it like this? It cannot be captured with a camera, or Video camera, as it just looks normal outside, but with your own eyes it’s orange, why is this? Answer ASAP, 10 Points for Best answer!!!
By the way it is almost 9 out, and in summary, it is supposed to be dark. So why is this?

So I had a dream that I can’t figure out-happened several weeks ago but its still haunting me: so I see one of those tornadoes you see in super mario bros 3 sweeping across one world to another (have no idea why I saw this- havent played video games since I was a teen) anyways, I then feel as if I’m inside this tornado and its moving me across a great distance without throwing me down, then suddenly I see myself being pulled forcefully through mid-air in the clouds by a kite that I’m holding the string to, but when I look up at the kite above, I find the string is actually attached to a dark grotesque dragon slightly covered in foggy clouds with huge claws pulling me forward high in the air for a couple minutes; suddenly I find myself near ground level in an open park-like area of a city with brick-streets and its around noon-afternoon and sunny, and the dragon seems to vanish but kind of turns into an invisible kite and pulls me forward strongly one last time and then disappears into thin air and I land on the brick street there..
nice answer, yeah I can kind of relate to that sometimes I have trouble letting go of past things..
another cool answer, heard about dragon analogies and losing the temper..
ok I meant that I’ve heard of tornado analogies to temper before..

I think he should. In the several latest polls over recent weeks since the RNC, McCain is ahead of Obama. But Obama can’t get ahead of McCain, in fact his numbers are dropping drastically as time rolls on. Myabe he should just call it quits, accept defeat and leave gracefully before he makes even more of a fool of himself.

Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t look, act and sound very Presidential to me…..but what do you think?
