14th May 2005 Crystal Palace Sports Centre London. UK
Henry Ellis, a direct student of the legendary Budo master Kenshiro Abbe Sense, from 1957 describes the great event at the Crystal Palace Sports Centre, London, to celebrate this great teacher and his arrival to Great Britain in 1955 and the subsequent inception of Aikido. Tribute website to Kenshiro Abbe Sensei at http://www.KenshiroAbbe.com . . .
The Bushido ZaZen International Society Annual Dinner
In February 2004 Derek Eastman and I were invited as guests at the annual dinner of The Bushido Za Zen International Society by its Chairman Mr Arnold Davies Hanshi an old student of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei and a close friend of my own good friend Bill Woods Sensei. These names alone meant that this evening was to be something special with so much history and martial arts background between us.
As we arrived we were met by Mr Clive MacDonald, a member of the Bushido ZaZen. Mr MacDonald and Mr Davies had been instrumental in putting together many of the facts to help with the protection of the true history of British Aikido during the great British Aikido Board Controversy.
Memories of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei
Mr MacDonald immediately brought several pints of beer to our table and from then on the conversation flowed along with the beer. As we spoke of our memories of the legendary master, Kenshiro Abbe Sensei, I said “Do you realize that it is 50 years next year since Abbe Sensei arrived in Britain!” We all discussed the importance of this date, I then suggested that, as we all belonged to the Essex Aikido Forum ( EAF ), which is a group of like minded people interested only in Aikido without its politics, we agreed that we should organise a celebration of such an important date. Mr MacDonald called over Mr Davies who, without a moments hesitation, gave the event his full support and financial backing.
The Organising Committee
Before the evening was over we realised that this event would be bigger than anything ever previously organised by the EAF or any other Aikido organisation for that matter. We decided there and then that we would need a working committee if we were to put this very special event together. Mr MacDonald approached two other senior EAF member, Mr Mike Leavy and Mr Eric Gillett, who agreed to join our organising committee. I then approached Mr David Humm the administrator of the very popular website the “National Aikido Communication DataBase”. Mr Humm had also been involved in our efforts to protect the history of British Aikido. He also became a willing committee member. Mr Rob Peck agreed to be the secretary We now had a full committee of seven members who were now totally committed and dedicated to putting together the greatest Aikido seminar ever in the United Kingdom. I don’t believe that any one of us on this night were able to grasp the enormity of the task we had pledged to undertake.
The Venue
As the word spread throughout the Aikido and MartialArts communities and, from the interest that was now being generated, we now knew that we would need a prestigious venue After much deliberation and following a visit to Crystal Palace Sports Centre, we soon realised that this was to be the final venue. This was to be a wise decision as, with its great hall and facilities along with the accommodation blocks and restaurants, It would later prove to be capable of hosting the planned event comfortably. The event attracted 430 students. 60 guests, 370 spectators and visitors totalling almost one thousand people on the day With students from all over the UK - USA - France - Holland - Germany, Czechoslvakia.
The Teachers of the Day
As this day was to celebrate the arrival in the UK of Kenshiro Abbe Sensei in 1955, and the subsequent inception of Aikido. It was decided to invite the five surviving direct students of Abbe Sensei from the 1950’s/60’s mentioned below.
I, Henry Ellis and Derek Eastman had already agreed, now I had to approach my old friends, Sensei Ralph Reynolds and Sensei Hayden Foster, who willingly offered their support.
Sensei Ken Williams, first student of Abbe Sensei, was also approached. He had to decline due to prior commitments. He did however provided a letter of dedication to be read out at the event. I then approached Sensei Bill Smith Shihan MBE, who sadly had to decline due to health issues. His son Phillip attended to represent his father and the AikiKai. Now we had a full Aikido teaching team. The event was officially under-way. We also received a letter of tribute to the memory of Abbe Sensei from the Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba ..
The Guests
The guest list was a who’s who of the Martial-Arts world in the UK. There were 60 guests and, with respect, I am unable to mention them all but, the following will give some insight.
Mr F Motai of the Japanese Embassy - Sensei Bill Woods Aide / Secretary to Kenshiro Abbe Sensei 1955 - Sensei Bill Stopps, Personal Aide to Matsutaro Otani Sensei from 1947. - Sensei Robin Otani, Pesident of the British Judo Council. - Mr P, Don of Sport England. - Sensei N Jones, my personal guest. - Ms Jenny Earle, World Judo champion.
Mr Ken Cottier Shihan, a member of the Aiki-Kai World Council. Mr Gigs Shouten, a special guest from Holland. Joe Curran Sensei who read a letter of tribute to Abbe Sensei from Kazuo Chiba Shihan.
The Budo Demonstrations
During the mid day part of the event there was a break for the students while the Budo demonstrations were carried out by some of the very best exponents of the various arts on display. This was a unique event where students were now able to witness many of the Budo arts that they had never seen before.
Aikido -Judo - Karate - Iaido - Kyudo - Kendo - JuJutsu - Ju Kendo
The Event and The Day
This was a very wonderful and special day for me after almost 50 years of practicing Aikido. On the morning of the event as I entered the great hall at Crystal Palace Sports Centre to the electrifying sound of the Taiko Drummers and masses of students around the mat area plus many more queuing at the door to register. I walked onto the concourse floor to see all the various stalls set out. Mr Don Baney a specialist in Japanese works of art had a fine display of Samurai armour and swords, for more information visit: http://www.geocities.com/britishaikido/japanese_swords.htm The atmosphere was fantastic, an indication of the great day ahead. I met so many people that I had not seen for so many years.
There was a raffle at the end of the day with a prized valuable ShinKen sword, presented by Nine Circles Budo Equipment Supplies. A hand made Tanto presented by Sensei Dave Rogers of New Mexic,o USA. Other prizes included the book “Positive Aikido”, Gi’s, bokkens, shinai’s and many commemorative T-Shirts.
This was indeed a very special day.
I was privileged to be at the great event in 1963 held by Abbe Sensei at the Royal Albert Hall in London where I was assistant to Mikoto Nakazono Sensei. I never thought that I would ever see another event to equal that one. On this day of celebration and commemoration of the life of Abbe Sensei, I believe I saw the event to eclipse all others.

Your bankruptcy is finalized, and now you’re ready to start rebuilding your credit. The best way to do this is by applying for small amounts of credit first, so you’ll want to get a credit card; however, you don’t know what credit card to choose. This article will explain the best after-bankruptcy credit cards you can get in order to rebuild your credit and stay out of debt:
Secured Credit Cards
The best way to avoid bad debt is to gain credit from your own money. A secured credit card allows you to deposit money into an account and then withdraw it just like you would with a regular credit card. The difference between an unsecured credit card and a secured credit card is that you deposit the amount of money that makes your maximum balance into an account before you begin using it. This means that, if you become unable to pay the bill, you can simply close the account and withdraw the remainder of your balance.
Gas Station/Grocery Store Credit Cards
Gas station and grocery store credit cards are not hard to get approved for; in fact, they’re probably the easiest to get of all unsecured credit cards. The best thing about applying for a grocery store or gas station card is the lowered temptation to make an unnecessary purchase. Most likely, you shop at these places every week and pay with either cash, check, or a debit card. Instead, you can pay with your store credit card, and then, at the end of the month, you can take the money you would have spent at the store and use it to pay down the balance on the card.
Credit Cards Specifically for Rebuilding Credit
Most reputable lenders offer credit cards to borrowers who need to rebuild their credit that are designed specifically for that purpose. You can expect to be charged high interest rates, and you’ll most likely have a low credit limit; however, in turn, the company will report your payments to all three credit monitoring bureaus monthly. Additionally, once you’ve established a good payment history with the company, they’ll likely lower your interest rate and raise your credit limit. Here is a list of recommended Personal Loan Lenders online. It’s important to use a reputable lender online to make sure your personal information is secure.
Before applying for any credit card, do your research. Utilize the internet and compare interest rates and terms. Don’t apply for a card with high interest rates and annual fees if you can get approved for a card with a better interest rate and no annual fee. Pay your bills on time every month. If anything looks worse than a bankruptcy, it’s a bankruptcy followed by bad credit.

Filing for bankruptcy is an extreme move and definitely not a fast fix. It’s an extended, painful proceeding with a major impact on your social standing and you’re unlikely to be able to get any kind of credit for up to ten years afterwards.
Even so bankruptcies are rising. Out of stupidity or ignorance more people seem to be using bankruptcy as a prime way out, instead of a final resort. Before you consider it, be sure to examine alternatives.
Try To Reorganise Your Debt
If you haven’t tried debt consolidation or negotiation, you truly ought. Sure, you’ll have to pay back your debts in due course, but surely that’s better than bankruptcy, isn’t it?
Sell What You Can
It’s much better to sell everything you own than it is to enter bankruptcy. Make a move to a smaller home. Sell your cars and catch the bus. Take a big, strong look at your life, and realise that there are only a few true ‘basics’, you can do without nearly everything.
Your home is probably full of a number of valuable possessions that you hardly ever use, so bite the bullet and be shut of them. Sell them! In simple terms, deduct your debt payments from your income and live the lifestyle of someone who earns that much.
You are bound to lose almost everything you own if you enter bankruptcy, so you may as well try to sell it yourself at a good price and avoid the bankruptcy issue altogether.
Work More Hours
Can you take extra time at work? Then do it. Going bankrupt is such an humiliation that you should at least try speaking to your boss and asking for a promotion or pay rise. The worst they can do is say no.
If you declare bankruptcy they’re going to find out soon enough about it anyway and they may be curious as to why you didn’t come and ask for their help. If you’re married and only one of you works, try to get a job for your partner you never know, they may end up enjoying it!
Utilize Powerful Threats
As a final resort one of the best things to do when you’re considering bankruptcy is to write a letter to absolutely everyone you owe cash to, to let them know. Make it an extremely clear threat - ‘if I can’t find a way to pay my debts then I am going to be pushed to file for bankruptcy’. Almost all creditors would rather let you pay back a tiny part of what you owe than rather than have to try to get cash out of you after bankruptcy.
Understand Your Local Bankruptcy Laws
The Law for bankruptcy varies massively across the world. A number of countries will force you to give up everything you own to pay your creditors, in other countries you will at least get to retain your house and still other places you can declare yourself bankrupt without any detrimental effect!
Speak to a Lawyer! You may believe you can’t afford one, but many are willing to work for free for those who really need a lawyer but are unable to pay.

Many individuals might have to pick between filing for bankruptcy or allowing their home loan lender to foreclose on their property. If bi-weekly or monthly home loan payments are not received on time, the financial institution will likely file for a foreclosure on the home. The only guaranteed way to stop foreclosure proceedings from happening is to make a payment to the mortgage lender as scheduled. Mortgage loans are very much like automobile loans, if you can not make monthly payments you will lose it. Foreclosure is the same for all who have not been able to pay their home loan, the home loan lender will boot your family out onto the sidewalk and sell it to recoup their loses.
Insolvency proceedings are a legal act that is filed by an individual who is not able to pay their debts as agreed. Once bankruptcy is filed, all the civil legal proceedings connected with the mortgage will be put on hold. Legally, a home loan bank must interrupt all collection processes, foreclosure among them. A home loan lender might ask for relief from the required stay period, and if it is granted, can go ahead with the previously mentioned process. Bankruptcy will not halt foreclosure and you have to repay your loan. Going into bankruptcy will not solve the underlying issues, it only makes the foreclosure continue slowly.
While insolvency will not permanently stop a foreclosure, it could give a person extra time to repay the over due or at least it will make it little less difficult to to repay a home loan lender. Bankruptcy requires that a lender to freeze foreclosure actions, a mortgage payer will have a short time to produce the cash to pay the creditor. Bankruptcy is the last resort for any debtor. Eventually bankruptcy will happen when he is completely unable to meet their creditor’s commitments. Under bankruptcy, some non-secured debts will in all likelihood be discharged but the mortgage will not be dismissed. The home owner must be prepared to pay back the mortgage within the allotted time as the debt is secured by assets. In addition, chapter thirteen bankruptcy has a schedule of payments that will be adjudicated by the court, that allows the borrower make payments on his real estate loan to get up to date on their mortgage payments.
It is not everybody qualifies for bankruptcy and if they do qualify, there are legal fees to pay. Possibly, it may cost the borrower more in legal fees than it does to just pull the belt tighter and clear the late payments owed. If you are thinking that declaring bankruptcy will be a solution to the problem, an attorney might be capable of answering any questions you have. Because insolvency is really detailed, consumer really ought not seek to do it by themselves.
This is not legal advice. We have not made any representation that this constitutes legal advice. Contact a bankruptcy attorney in your particular state for bankruptcy advice advice.

I find of particular interest in the Eastern Religions many threads that survive in other, later, belief systems. Not only do they survive in textual fact, but they seem to be super relevant to New Age and reformed movements. I speak especially of Right Action, Positive Thought, Positive Action, seeing only Good in all things and all people and believing in a Oneness.
And I think that a reason for the solid base of affinity to Eastern beliefs is that they represent a way of life more than they do a religion. I would have to say that Hinduism and Sikhism are exceptions, but I have maintained for years that Buddhism is a way of life and not a religion. Tao means: the way!
This is not to say that this thinking is not spiritual, it is, very given to meditation, petitioning and prayer, to the Cosmic, the One, God. But what is absent from much Eastern thought are the dogmas, perversions and threats that are so much a part of some organized religions. Instead, it is free thought, choice, love of beauty and Nature, love of others, respect for humankind and, in my opinion, a monumental hope for the future.
Buddhism has but one basic doctrine, which is taught by mostly all of the world’s religions: Avoid what is bad, do what is good. And purify the mind. Those who learn Buddhism learn kindness, detachment from the causes of suffering, meditation, relaxation, generosity, courtesy and helpfulness. Those who practice Buddhism are happy people.
Far more important than the person of Buddha is the idea of teaching. This is timeless and central to the faith. Buddha was a human being, Siddharta Gautama, who lived and taught the principle of freedom from greed, selfishness and ignorance.

As a photographer, I like easy ways of storing, editing and producing digital pictures. As a moderate user of Adobe Photoshop, I have now discovered Picasa (http://picasa.google.ca), Free Software from Google that allows you to simply catalogue, store and perform some post production enhancements to your digital pictures.
Like many Digital Photographers, you may want duplicates (multiple versions) of your digital pictures, to which you apply various enhancements - cropping, B&W, softening, etc. If you are using Picasa, then you will need to apply some file renaming to ensure your pictures are grouped together: picture original, picture copy1, picture copy2,,,picture copyn. Currently, duplicating a digital picture within Picasa does not produce a filename which preserves the desired filename sequence (ascending sort - alphabetic order) - “Original, OriginalCopy, OriginalCopy (2),,OriginalCopy (n)“
Do not despair. Here is a simple fix that will ensure that your ‘CD of JPG images’ will playback properly on an inexpensive DVD player ($29.95 at Walmart), which is capable of playing back (like a Slide Show) stored JPG images.
A little background on how Picasa creates JPG file copies on your computer. When you copy/duplicate a file in Picasa it creates the copied file with the following prefix - “Copy of IMAGEnnnn.jpg“. Since alphabetic sequencing has “C” coming before “I”, this means that all of the prefixed files with “Copy of” are saved in your computer [picture] directory ahead of the original JPG images, which all start with “IMG” or “IMAGE” - Ouch! But you want all your JPG picture files to start with “IMG” or “IMAGE”, just like they were originally created on your digital camera.
Apply a simple and consistent renaming of these “Copy of” JPG files and you will get the desired playback sequence. Rename these “Copy of” files so that the original filename prefix is preserved - “IMG” or”IMAGE”. Just remove the “Copy of” prefix and add an appropriate ascending numeric sequence suffix to each of the copied files. For example, IF your original JPG file and the Picasa two copies were: IMG_2787, Copy of IMG_2787, Copy (2) of IMG_2787 THEN you would rename the TWO Copy files to get this grouped sequence: IMG_2787, IMG_2787-2, IMG_2787-3
Now you will be sure that the filename sequence will match your desired Slide Show sequence.
You can submit an enhancement request to Picasa to fix the way they name copied files (Adobe has is right!). You can submit your request to: Picasa Help Ticket Submission (http://picasa.google.ca/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=contact). The more requests the sooner they fix this inconvenience.

Chamonix village is situated at the foot of the wonderful Mt Blanc in the French Alps and is widely regarded as the Alpine climbing and extreme snowboarding capital of Europe. The resort has been known for a long time as a real area for extreme activities during both summer and winter seasons. Chamonix Mont Blanc was host to the 1st Winter games in the 1920s - however it’s also a domain of outstanding views offering a lot to the climber and sightseer.
Differing from many modern snowboarding fields the resort of Chamonix is not a souless ski town and has largely been preserved from the modern monstrosities that blight a majority of the French Alps. It’s fortunate to have not only an internationally renowned skiing mountain but a grand and bustling town centre.
Chamonix town is of ample size to insure that there is a lot of activities for the vacationer to do. For whatever type of trip there is something to enrapture everyone. Not to mention a large swimming and sports centre, beauty salons, paragliding and weekly market with fresh local produce; and loads of shops, luxury chalets, cafes and night-clubs, Chamonix Mount Blanc supplies a choice of mountaineering, old town charm and shopping, which only a handful snowboarding domains can equal. Why not reserve your ski break now.
