Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People in Natter might have heard me talk about Marni Levine, one of the pillars of krav in the US, and her recent death. This is in her memory:

October 21, 2006, 44 Krav Maga™ Official Training Centers in the Unites States and Canada, 3 in Europe and 1 in Japan will all be teaming up with the non-profit philanthropic organization STOP CANCER™ for the first annual Krav Maga™ Fights Cancer Fundraiser. All proceeds from the Krav Maga™ Fights Cancer Fundraising Seminar will be donated directly to the Marni Fund, Fighting to STOP CANCER™ in Memory of Marni Levine (1969-2006) who died of complications due to cancer.

Krav Maga Worldwide began the Krav Maga™ Fights Cancer Fundraiser in honor of Marni Levine. Marni, one of the founders of the multi-national organization, passed away on August 31, 2006, after a long and courageous fight against cancer, leaving behind a loving husband and two young daughters, ages 9 and 11.

Marni’s death has triggered a reaction in the worldwide community of Krav Maga™ instructors. Martial arts school owners in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Europe have organized a global fundraiser: on Saturday, October 21, every school is hosting a self defense seminar and donating 100% of the proceeds to the cancer research foundation STOP CANCER™.

To find a Krav Maga Fights Cancer Seminar near you, click here.

STOP CANCER™ was created to meet the need for cancer research funding, and Krav Maga™ is joining the fight to “help make the world a better place” by increasing personal safety in our communities and stopping cancer. The goal is to raise more than $50,000 for cancer research at National Cancer Institute—designated comprehensive cancer centers. These funds will be matched by receiving hospitals with an impact of $100,000 toward cancer research.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Guys, bookmark buffistas.info for downtime messages.

Not that I have any idea why the site just went down, but status will be posted there by one or more of the stompy feet.

I have a ticket I cannot use for this Tuesday night's Ladysmith Black Mambazo concert at Carnegie Hall. The ticket is $35 and I'd need to get it to you this evening or Sunday. THANKS

Can it be? Time for the SIXTH Annual Sooper Sekrit Buffista Gift Exchange? It can!

Anyone interested in exchanging small presents with other Buffistas during the holiday season, email me at my profile address with your Buffista name and a snail-mail location to which people can send your loot. I will match up givers & giftees by drawing names out of a hat a highly rigorous, random process.

Please try to email me by November 3. I'll match names and send out notices by November 6, to allow for plenty of present buying/making and mailing time.

p.s. If you aren't into the holiday spirit yet, there's usually a later Slacker Sekrit Gift Exchange run by the lovely msbelle or Nilly.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

In the spirit of the season, let me add that I still have the gifty-giving, likes, dislikes, and allergies (if any) database entries on many Buffistas.

E-mail me at serasempre @ gmail .com if:

  • I don't have info on you and you'd like to fill out the form
  • I do have yours but you'd like to update it because your tastes or your mailing address or your favorite collectible changed, or you just don't know what you said before; and/or
  • You want the entry on another buffista to get the gifty-creative-brain firing.
