I think there were some posts about Jeet Kune Do training in that old abandoned military base where those various non-profit community groups set up shop now—that whole scene. I also heard there’s Jeet Kune Do in River City, but since I'm not from around there, I haven't a clue where. I suspect someone mentioned it on the forum once. Honestly, finding a decent Jeet Kune Do club is like trying to grab a dragon by its testicles. A Japanese dragon, specifically, given the wings. Jeet Kune Do in the city? Where exactly?
I'm curious if anyone knows of a solid gym over in the Savica area or near that neighborhood. I realize this isn't strictly relevant to the main topic, but I figured you all might know a quality spot, so I thought I'd ask.
Earl (Almost Famous, Chasing Amy) has made far too many mistakes in his life. But thanks to a twist of fate, everything changes. After hitting the lottery jackpot, he decides to use his sudden luck to fix every wrong he's ever done.
Before Earl can even start his journey, his knack for bad luck trips him up again. Shortly after winning, he gets hit by a car and knocked unconscious. In the chaos, the winning ticket vanishes. While recovering in the hospital, Earl watches TV and hears Carson Daly claim that his success is a reward for all the good things he's done for others. It’s in that moment that Earl realizes the concept of karma. Hoping for a better life, he resolves to make amends for every mistake, starting with an apology to his old schoolmate Kenny (Gregg Binkley), whom he used to bully. Along this path to redemption, Earl is joined by a few eccentric friends: his brother Randy and the attractive Catalina. He also gets support from Darnell, the guy who runs the local diner where Earl often grabs a beer. His ex-wife Joy, however, isn't about to lift a finger to help unless she can get a jab in first. Despite his lapses in judgment, Earl is surprisingly successful, and the show, much like Earl himself, is quite unique.
I felt the need to post here on the forum to see if anyone has thoughts... Truth be told, I haven't sat down to watch the movie yet. I grew up watching the cartoon, back when I had ADSL just to download those G1 episodes. I also collect reissues of the original toys; currently, my collection includes Starscream and Soundwave. So, I really should watch it, but first, I need to coordinate a viewing with a few fellow enthusiasts.
By the way, I'm curious if they included that iconic transformation sound in the films? It's a crucial detail. Truly.
You missed the point of this thread entirely. It was supposed to be hilarious, in an absurd sort of way.
It’s the classic setup: some guy gets drunk and starts swinging at people, but since he’s Filipino with a knife—get it? Knife plus Philippines equals Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ha ha.
The reality is you hop onto an MMA competition forum and suddenly find yourself stuck in these endless blog-style debates. People acting shocked over what constitutes a "real" scenario, arguing about training methods, which lever works best, who’s throwing a better one-inch punch, or even some nonsense about bad eyes and telekinetic grappling...
Arthur Torres said:Since we're on the subject, I have this 160 GB Seagate SATA drive, and I’ve never once had to manually load specific SATA drivers. I didn't even bother hitting F6 during setup; everything just worked. I even swapped out my motherboard recently and reinstalled Windows, and again, no driver prompts. It was a standard XP installation, no Service Pack included at the time. I honestly can't wrap my head around why it works so seamlessly without those extra drivers. 😕
That depends on which version of Windows you're running. Some later XP builds, like Borg or Nemesis, have the drivers baked right in. Apparently, Vista is the same way.
Do you think it’s worth the investment? Also, is there a thread on here with instructions for burning a Vista disc?
I know they’re supposed to be straightforward, but honestly, some tiny detail always slips through the cracks, and if you miss it, you'll be staring at your monitor with bloodshot eyes.
That's right. I don't have a Floppy, nor do I have a USB Floppy drive. I have another computer at home where I've already downloaded NLite and the drivers. I just need someone to walk me through the process—step by step—on what exactly I should do next.
I haven't quite figured out the order of operations—should it be NLite, the drivers, or the Windows XP installation disc first? My understanding is that I need to move the drivers onto the hard drive, then run NLite to integrate everything before starting the installation. Am I on the right track, or am I missing something?
I have a new Dell Latitude laptop equipped with a SATA hard drive. When I attempt to run the installation from an original Windows XP CD, it prompts me to load the hard drive drivers from a Floppy disk. I don't own a Floppy disk, nor do I have a USB Floppy drive. Dell customer support sent over some instructions on how to bypass the floppy requirement, along with links for the drivers and a program called Rufus... I now have all the necessary drivers—hard drive, video, audio, everything—plus Rufus, but the actual procedure remains unclear to me. If anyone here knows the exact steps to get this running on a SATA hard drive, please walk me through it. If there is already a thread covering this, just send me the link.
Essentially, I am confused about the sequence—do I need to move the drivers to the hard drive first, then launch Rufus, or how does this work...
your programming is garbage. I’m not one of those people who constantly mourns the good old days, but honestly, I can't remember the last time I attended a decent lecture at IEEE... even if there were any. There is zero promotion outside of the internet; you almost never see even basic A4 flyers posted around. Consequently, nobody shows up, even when the content is actually high quality. As for the IEEE cafe, it's mostly junk. The last decent show I caught there was Baroness and some stoner band from Florida, but that was four months ago. mostly, the atmosphere there has gone completely downhill. At least the movies are free on Sundays; respect for that.
if you think "revitalizing" IEEE with a new crew is going to work, you have to overhaul the entire promotional strategy. Right now, IEEE isn't exactly a place people feel a sense of urgency to visit.
Regarding Horvat's private lessons, money is the most effective tool. If you show up consistently and pay him promptly, he won't just teach you—he'll convince you that he's done an impeccable job.

Check out the ones located in New York City and give a few of them a call to see what they offer. I can't really give you a better answer than that since I don't know much more.
Jerry Thompson said:I don't get it. I replied to her instantly. And from what I can see, you didn't even ask anything that required waiting for a response, so I really don't follow the point of this post. Did you actually ask a question? 😕
I asked twice already. Now, for the third time:
Is there any karate for adult beginners in the Chicago area?
Thinking about trying out some karate training. Might actually enjoy it. Just chasing some childhood dreams, I suppose... the Karate Kid, obviously.
