&lt;p&gt;(LESSON)
&lt;br /&gt;STAND UP Muay Thai way of hand wrapping allows the hand a more natural feel for maximum agility in clench &amp; submissions.
&lt;br /&gt;The Negative side: is that if you are prone to thumb socket jamming WRAO IT UP. Not wrapping the thumb can cause injury. (Its better than nothing) Straight Street Style&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;http://samharris.com/tao.htm&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A letter to a friend on his birthday
&lt;br /&gt;by Sam Harris&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Happy Birthday. In this new year - I ask you to create the vision for what you want this year to be - for yourself, for those you love and for the world. It will affect everything you choose to do. Every day. Every action I take is reflection of what I want my world to be.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this new year - be brave. Speak up against the wrongs you encounter. Neutrality gives voice to the oppressor, never the oppressed. Silence give a platform to the tormentor, never the tormented. Silence in the company of judgment justifies the act.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Be stronger than your fear or those who perpetrate fear. Investing in worry brings the subject of your fear into reality. Worrying is like praying for what you don't want.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We get to choose between love and fear every day - every moment. That's all there is. EVERYTHING comes from one of those two things. And we get to choose. We are creatures of free will.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Love knows no separation, no division, no hierarchy. Love sees us all as one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are those who will not agree. There are those who think that bigger bank accounts will stave off the demons. Bigger locks on our doors will protect us from the demons. And bigger guns will keep the demons out. When, in reality, fear of the demons is the demon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is nothing wrong with having money or being cautious or protecting ourselves - but when it is a solution to fear, it will never be enough.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So this year, motivate yourself to act out of what you desire, not what you are afraid of. In this new year, invest in how you want to feel, rather than in getting the things you think will make you feel good after you've gotten them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to diet, do it because it feels right and good to do something for yourself - to feel better, to look better, to be better, not because when you lose weight, someone will love you or you'll have a better job or your mother won't criticize you - and that will make you feel good. It is the process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For those of us who love immediate gratification - the process of feeling good begins the moment we say "yes."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to get your finances together, do it because it feels good to have order and well being - not because when you get your finances together you'll be able to buy the things that will make you feel good. It is the process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's all about the process - the ride - not the result. Choose the goal, get in action and let go of the result. When I choose the result, I don't have room for, nor can I see anything but my idea of the goal. And what's going to happen could be so much larger and bigger and better than what I think I want to happen. God's imagination is much bigger and better than mine. So just be in action toward the goal and let it take you wherever it may. If I say "yes" and go into the world - I don't know what's going to happen. But something is going to happen. If I say "no" I know what's going to happen - nothing. Do you want to stick with what you know and remain inactive - or jump into the unknown, where you are going to experience joy and sadness and love and loss and change and discomfort and growth and empowerment and activity and - life? This year - I choose "yes."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Everything we do is motivated from either wanting something we don't have or fearing that we will lose something we do have. This new year - unfurrow your brow. Stop coveting. Stop worrying about what you might lose&#65533; Or who you are if you don't get what you want - or think you are entitled to.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep your goals in mind but only as motivation for action - let the result be a surprise. Replace your fears and uncertainties with the accomplishment of living fully - daily. The small, seemingly unimportant tasks that make a life large.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Continued...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It has been scientifically proven that cannabis has a wide range of therapeutic uses, including relieving nausea, increasing appetite, reducing muscle spasms, and relieving chronic pain. Two former surgeons general, Joycelyn Elders and Jesse L. Steinfeld, have supported the medical use of cannabis. Thousands of patients and their doctors have found cannabis to be useful in treating the symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, and other serious conditions. Please support our efforts to pass a medical cannabis law in the state of Illinois.&lt;/p&gt;

The auger pulled him into the trench and ripped away part of his leg. He was left with extensive nerve and tissue damage that leaves him in continuous pain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's take a trip down Main Street in Dayton, Ohio. The tour last only 10 minutes and through stop lights and pot holes: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There comes boarded up houses, vacant buildings, prostitutes, red light cameras, construction and drifters. Ah, this is my hometown. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No disrespect to my town, but if there were things of interest here plus, tree lined roads and sense of hometown feel, then maybe some of this stuff that occurs currently can disappear.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Still, instead I will direct this message not only to our mayor, but the congressmen who represent our area, the senators who represent our state, the governor, and President Bush. Here's a look at a community hit hard by the loss of jobs, foreclosure, crime and poverty. Think about that when you say the economy is doing well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Still if the 2008 Presidential candidates come through Ohio, why don't they make Dayton, Ohio their first stop!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for viewing and post your comments at the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Update: With all this talk about Jeremiah Wright's comments, I would think the news media would focus on these issues mentioned by Wright instead of the words said.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Again, divisive politics are in play. It's called guilt-by-association. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This cable news coverage of the Wright controversy:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fox News 73.9% - America's Election HQ, Hannity &amp; Colmes/Hannity's America, Geraldo At Large, The O'Reilly Factor, On The Record with Greta Van Susteran, Special Report with Brit Hume, Fox News Sunday, The Live Desk and Your World with Neil Cavuto. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CNN/Headline News 45.5% The Glenn Beck Program, Anderson Cooper 360, Lou Dobbs Tonight, Larry King Live and The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MSNBC 58.4% - Hardball with Chris Matthews, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Verdit/Live with Dan Abrams, Tucker and Meet The Press with Tim Russert.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;YouTube 94.4%&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My personal opinion on the Wright issue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This has been over a month. And yes, this could be a deciding factor in Obama's race to the White House. Some of the things Wright said were wrong. But they do hint some truths about America and its views on one another. Because the rush to judgement issue is always the one thing that we as Americans fail to denounce. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With all that said, I noticed a strong increase in the Neo-Nazi, KKK, White Supremency and Black Nationalism on YouTube. I am assuring you that I proudly denounce all the racist and ignorant commentators here on YouTube/Google! So for those who are racist or ignorant, go ahead post your comments at the bottom. At least I show you people the diginity that I accept all comments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks to FOX News, right wing talk radio pundits and the supporters of Clinton, Obama and McCain. We are officially back in 1950s. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I frequently check out Black websites about the issue and on their take of Fox News. The more I see about this issue is quite disturbing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Over the past three weeks I viewed, hip-hop sites: DaveyD, Allhiphop, Bossip, and SOHH. I also recently visited Revolutionary Muslim, Southern Poverty Law Center, Prison Planet, and Newshounds websites. The websites all judge Fox News as unceremoniously racist.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The websites believe the network has pushed negatively coverage of race, religion and gender by far any other channel. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Liberal activist and director Robert Greenwald has waged war against Fox News by presenting videos critical of the network. The website: &lt;a href="http://foxattacks.com"&gt;foxattacks.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also I can't stop people from judging Pastor Wright, Senator Barack Obama, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator John McCain or President Bush. You are entitled to criticize these people. But I in no way support networks such as FOX News. The main reason is mostly due to it's misleading coverage of all candidates. Not just Democrats, some Republicans (in case you people forgot about Representative Ron Paul).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Senator Obama has over 85% of the Black Democratic vote and believe me, this can be the sign that Fox News will be scruntized more by liberal bloggers and supporters of Obama.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What's your take on the issue?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And while you are still talking about Obama's Pastor....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Joe Sabia put together this great video  featuring Dr. King giving his inspiring "Mountaintop" speech on April 3, 1968, the night before his assassination. It features Dr. King, Rocky, and footage from the top of Mount Everest.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I mixed King's speech with an awesome Remix to the Rocky Song arranged by the very talented Ronald Jenkees. Check out more of his cool beats at &lt;a href="http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store"&gt;www.ronaldjenkees.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The full text to King's phenomenal speech to striking sanitation workers at Mason Temple in Memphis, Tennessee can be found at &lt;a href="http://www.afscme.org/about/1549.cfm"&gt;www.afscme.org&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
