Bryan D. Hix from PracticeKarate.com shares us his point about Martial Arts Training - There Is No Substitute For Repetition I'm chomping at the bit to get this one out. It'll give you a head start to either strongly agree with me, or think that I absolutely don't understand your situation (I do, and I'll address it in a minute. Keep reading.) Here we go: "There is no substitute for repeti

NSPCC Bournemouth Branch Ladies DayLast Wednesday morning, I gave an hour-long talk on My Life as a Freelance Comedy Writer as part of the annual NSPCC Bournemouth Branch Ladies Day at Canford Magna Golf Club,a popular local venue where I had actually never spoken before.This was a very well-organised and well-attended event with around 110 women there. As well as the guest speaker's talk and the lunch afterwards, there were stalls, raffles and donated artworks to be auctioned.As far as my talk was concerned, there were one or two challenges. It was a large, wide room and I was asked to use a microphone, a battery-powered, hand-held model. I had to choose a spot to speak from in quite a cramped area, allowing for the fact that the room had a sloping ceiling (low ceilings can cause problems

I found an interesting article documenting a study regarding changes in actual brain structure. The source cited was a 2000 study referencing work done with taxi drivers. Apparently, “the longer a taxi driver had been driving, the larger a specific part of the brain (the part that we believe stores spatial representations of our environment).” [...]

I will be hosting a repetition tolerance course in my home. This is what I heard for twenty minutes this morning.... I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart, Where? .....etc.....etc.....etc....I kid you not. Over and over and over and over again for twenty minutes. I tried suggesting other songs, or turning up the TV , or putting snacks in their mouths. Nothing stopped the repetition. My nerves will never be the same again.

Don't you all notice that we repeat the exact same cycle all the time (except on very few occasions)?You Come To Visit ThemRing bell a million times before they open. Wonder which men's hands you must shake first and which women you are allowed to shake hands with. Sit down, yawn and feel bored. Refuse the horrible "coffee" they serve you. Feel bored again. Try and eat the rock solid ma3moul covered in mountains of grounded sugar. Feel bored once more. Help yourself to the chocolates as you leave the house. Repeat.They Come To Visit YouAnswer the door. Greet guests. Watch people talk about politics and market prices. Serve "coffee". Get told off for not holding cups in right hand. Hearing people talking about boring subjects again. Serve your personally made rock solid ma3moul. More talking, boring as usual. Hurry after guests with chocolates. Close the door. Repeat.

Study of Sunflowers 14" x 11", pen and ink and coloured pencil on Arches Hot Press copyright Katherine Tyrrell I said I would do a study of sunflowers for Flowers in Art month and here they are - more about these later. When I was younger it took me an awful long time to realise just how many sunflower paintings Van Gogh painted. This post is about that and the value of repetition. Van Gogh

South Carolina Band Mixes’n’Matches Sub-Genres On Across-The-Board Debut New York, NY—On July 24th, In De Goot Recordings will release Archetypes And Repetition, the debut recording of South Carolina’s Deepfield. The band is comprised of singer/guitarist Baxter Teal III, lead guitarist J. King, bassist Dawson Huss and drummer Russell Lee. Influenced as much by Silverchair as they are by Porcupine Tree, the debut contains 12 cuts that range from crystalline pop to Hard Rock and even ends with a cover of En Vogue’s “Don’t Let Go” that turns this radio hit totally inside-out, mining its inner rock’n’roll soul. The first single, “Get It,” was released on June 12th. Continue reading "Archetypes and Repetition by Deepfield"

#690: REPETITIONToday is about compulsive repetition.It makes me want to ball up my fists and go oooooooh! with my eyes squinched tight like a cartoon character. Maybe Wilma Flintstone.From the moment I woke up this morning, I had "Achy Breaky Heart" streaming through my head. It was there for over four hours and sounded tinny like an AM radio station. I don't like country music, I despise line dancing, and now I am feeling less than friendly toward Billy Ray for having put this song into the world. Billy, it's nothing personal, but fuck you.That torrent of AM country radio hell finished abruptly and turned into an endless rotation of "Kumbaya". If you've ever sat through hundreds or thousands of church services, sunday school lessons, church summer campfires, and christian youth conferences like I have, this song has been done and done and done again in unison, harmony, rounds, and as twenty-minute long spirit-filling remixes. It pains like a thousand pins in my own personal

The Power of Repetition - Making Habits One of the most amazing benefits of repetition is its capacity to engrave patterns of thought into our subconscious mind, that then manifest in beautiful habits. This works whether you want it or not. Have you ever hear a song so many times you end up hating it but cant get it out of your head!, this is a common example but the same principal can be applied to anything we want. Bob Proctor tells us that repetition is the first step to learning, why? Because we haven’t really learned something until it becomes engraved in our mind and becomes a part of us, thats why school gives us home work, to repeat again and again what we have been taught so it gets into our head and stays there. Can you imagine someone learning how to divide or ride a bike by just doing it once? I cant. This process is not automatic, thats why we should read the books over and over, and never stop studying. You want to learn about the Law of Attraction, well, stud

I just balanced all of my accounts on Microsoft Money 2007. According to all five of my credit and loan accounts, I am exactly $34k in debt. That is way, way more than I ever imagined. I see people on Dr. Phil who owe less than that and are in a crisis. Man, I fucked up, didn’t I? I listed about 17 books online for Ebay to see if I can make some money from them. So far, I have no bids. I should go through those clothes I bought online too but that’s too much of a pain in the ass anyway. I sat down and wrote one page. What I wanted the story to be, can turn into something I’ve thought about for a long time, but it’s sexual and I don’t know if I’m comfortable giving my whole vision of what it could be, every detail that I’ve come up with in my head, for people to read. I’m so damn modest about that stuff, but I wonder if it would be a good read if I added some kind of sexual encounter in my story. I’m not saying I write to write eroti

Deepfield is going to be on KROQ. That should be a no-brainer. The band's mix of heavy rock and roll with a slight metal influence, which almost casts them as a more radio friendly Thrice, is exactly the kind of music that dominates the station these...
