Item Upon - How I Became a Ninja
Every time we pick up a paper we see some article that points to some major problem in the world such as an Earthquake, Tsunami, International Terrorism, Y2K (yah remember that one?), Bird Flu, Iranian Atomic Bombs, Identity Theft, Homosexual Clubs on HS Campuses, Gasoline Prices, Stock Market Crash and or some Doom and Gloom about oceans rising, Atlantic Hurricane Season, Jet-Stream Changes, Global Warming, Climate Change; enough is enough and they still can’t find our fellow Osama bin Laden who supposedly lives in some friggin cave? Yah right, for all we know the guy is on our payroll to keep putting out his cassettes and VHS recordings to scare us into more FEAR.Unfortunately all this fear takes its toll on a nation

I’ve always said that selling is the ultimate entrepreneurial career. In which other line of work can an individual dictate their own income adjustments, thus eliminating the need for cost-of-living raises. (I once had a sales manager who used that very line, telling us “I want every person on this team to give themselves a 20% raise this year!”).Even when paid a salary, a salesperson can greatly enhance their value to their company, and even to other companies in their market, by demonstrating an intrinsic value above and beyond others their contemporaries. Because the sales profession generates income for the company, those who do it more efficiently and effectively make themselves valuable not only to their em
I grew up right at the end of the ninja boom in the 80s but the reminiscence of it all remained, and I kept it alive, at least for myself, with my magazine, movies, and toys. If it was even close to ninja I had it. Then at the age of nine I finally got to experience what it was like to be a ninja at a dojo in my very own little town of Sunbury. Back then it was known as Miller's Martial Arts, now Warrior Concepts International. I trained there with a full heart for 4 years, but like most kids I couldn't keep doing something that was good for me for long, at the age of 12, (a little while after earning my junior Black belt) I quit. If I had a time machine I would go back and kick my butt. I was still intrigued by the ninja and everything related to them so I kept watching and learning more about the shadow warriors.
At the age of 14 I read some books by Stephen K. Hayes and Masaaki Hatsumi that I "stumbled" across in my searches. Had I only remembered the stories that Mr. Miller told us about his teachers, (which where Shidoshi Hayes and Hatsumi Sensei) my search would have been a lot quicker and easier.

Dick Jauron takes over as the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills after Mike Mularkey was let go. Marv Levy returns once again, only this time in the front office, to lead the Bills back to prominence in the AFC East. Levy has a long climb for the Bills to reach New England and rising Miami in the division. This is a squad that managed to score only 271 points last season on its way to a 5-11 mark.Offense: Levy and the Bills are very much hoping that J.P. Losman isn't another Tim Couch or Akili Smith. The former first round choice battled with veteran Kelly Holcomb for the starting job last year and it looks like more of the same this season. Holcomb threw for 1,509 yard with 10 scores, while completing 67 percent of hi

Disseminating information to a large part of viewers and listeners have become all the more important these days. The basic need of getting updated information on whatever is happening or something newly launched is high on the demand cards of people. It is because of this reason that custom banners have always been considered as one of the best means to tell people about whatever you want. Custom banners allow you to give a way to your thoughts and ideas, without any hassles. Information that has to be passed to others should have something distinctive about it and custom banners lend that uniqueness. Well, this uniqueness has made it all the more demandable.Everybody likes to tell about something or the other in a dif

At first, I noticed that I could have written many of the articles that appeared in Instructor magazine. Having earned a B.A. in elementary education and taught for a short time, I had some experience in dealing with challenges in the classroom and wanted to capitalize on it. I also read writer's magazines and reference books, which encouraged me even more.Initially, my biggest challenge was summoning courage to just go ahead and describe my idea to the magazine's editor. My query letter began with a hook that lead to my working title and a brief description of the article's contents. Toward the end of this letter, I explained why my related experience made me the perfect writer for the job! A few weeks later, a reply a

The Alice Fong Yu Alternative SchoolThe Alice Fong Yu Alternative School, one San Francisco School, is the first Chinese immersion school in the United States. The school is designed as a two-way Chinese/English instructional environment. The school provides an outstanding educational experience for children of all backgrounds. All students at Alice Fong Yu develop competency in the Cantonese and English languages and use the two languages actively in the content curriculum. The school aims to have all students to be able to converse in and become literate in both English and Cantonese by 5th grade. The Mandarin language is added after the fifth grade. The Mandarin/English program is similar in scope and function to the
I kept practicing at my home and any where else I could. While others went and got drunk and partied I was out was out training. I didn’t go back to the dojo because of money problems but also I was ashamed of quitting and I wasn't going to go to any other dojo because no one else taught ninjutsu and I knew that ninjutsu was the only thing for me, it felt so right and I felt so bad not being a part of it anymore. So, 3 years later when I finally got my head on straight and I was bound and determined to get back into training and never look back, "odd" things in my life drastically started to change. I saw more fliers for the school for different seminars and watched all their demos. I even went into the dojo and talked to Mr. Miller and the other instructors saying that I was coming back and they would see me soon. Well I was wrong. My grocery store job at that time wasn't paying me enough to go train and help with bills but I was still hopeful. After almost being there for two years a job opened up at a meat warehouse that the grocery store I worked for owned. There we go, “I said,” “lots more money then I can do it! I can become a ninja again!” Wrong again, I got the job but I spent all my time just working, I hardly even got to see my family but I was still bound and determined to get back. I kept trying to think of ways, but nothing was coming to me. Until one day something great happened to me....
I twisted my ankle and got fired. It was a little bit before Thanksgiving. So there I was, 21 years old, no job, hardly any money, no way of getting back to trai
