<br />
HOW TO START!<br />
<br />
Look forward; head neutral. Grip the bar so that forearms are vertical and the bar is about clavicle level. Hands are not supposed to touch shoulders. Wrists in-linr with forearms and elbows in front of the barbell. You should squeeze glutes to avoid arching your back. Wearing weight heavy shoes in heels gives you better stability. Stand your feet hip-shoulder-width apart. Chest up and expanded and bar gripped in the base of the palms, directly over the forearms.<br />

<br />
HOW TO LIFT!<br />
<br />
When you press the bar, press it straight up, and tuck chin back and press bar straight up and overhead to full extension, then return head to neutral and bring torso forward once bar clears the face.<br />
<br />
When lifting lock your elbows out. Squeeze shoulder blades while extending arms overhead until full extension is reached. Keep upper back, glutes, and abs tight to not lose control over the bar. Straight line going from the bar, down through your shoulder blades, and through middle of feet. Drive through heels while pressing.<br />

At the sight of dessert, 'hedonic' eaters say, no thanks. But 'homeostatic' eaters don't listen to the body's built-in chemical that is secreted when over 3 lbs of food are eaten in one sitting. They're more likely to be obese.<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;">EATING FOR PLEASURE</span><br />
'the homeostatic system'<br />
<br />
Seeing, smelling and even hearing the word 'cake' activates chemicals in the brain involved in shame, depression, and repression, triggering the release of epinepherine, the brain's "food" chemical.<br />
<br />
Brain scans show that obese people have reactions to food similar to reactions experienced by sexual deviants.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">EATING FOR SURVIVAL</span><br />
'the hedonic system'<br />
<br />
When food reaches the stomach, electrical signals from the brain speed up digestion and trigger the brain to eat more. Seeing cake becomes more appealing.<br />
<br />
The hormone dopamine tells the brain to stop eating, but in obese people, the brain is unable to accept the chemical receptor.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03466156286394933569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384190079707224554.post-2430891977510284682013-02-19T09:00:00.002-08:002013-02-19T09:00:30.638-08:00Muscles: A Complete Strength-Training Workout<u><span style="font-size: large;">SHOULDERS: Lateral raises</span></u><br />

<br />
<ol>
<li>Remain calm, but act swiftly, and chances of survival are good. (Less than one percent of properly treated snakebites are fatal. Without treatment, the fatality rate is 10-15 percent.</li>
<li>Immobilize the affected part in a position below the level of the heart.</li>
<li>Place a lightly constricting band 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) closer to the heart than the site of the bite. Reapply the constricting band ahead of the swelling if it moves up the arm or leg. The constricting should be placed tightly enough to halt the flow of blood in the surface vessels, but not so tight as to stop the pulse.</li>
<li>Do not attempt to cut open the bite or suck out venom.</li>
<li>Seek medical help. If possible, the snake's head with 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) of it's body attached should be taken to the medics for identification insures use of the proper antivenom.</li>

Though I think they definitely weren't the first to have that system. Nowadays most of the games have incorporated the achievements if not all. Certainly seeing a flashy notice that you just have been awarded by points makes you feel good, but what did you actually accomplish, should you even call that an achievement in the first place?<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>

<div>

<div>
Example from World of Warcraft. These achievements just undermine the word achievement. Seeing as it is easy as hell to do all these things why even great an achievement for such a deed. </div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another example from Team Fortress 2. Just random achievements and the only reason to do these is to get more points and you gain nothing in return. Waste of time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The biggest flaw is that they incorporate all easily doable things as achievements, when there only should be the truly hard to do achievements that require skill and determination. Certainly luck is a factor as well but you shouldn't make an achievement because you got an item that had a drop rate 1%. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like to play games, there are not many who don't. When I was young, I could play a game and finish it and with it comes a certain emotion of satisfaction. Now with all the games that have achievements in them and when I reach in the end it looks that I didn't get all of the achievements done and then there are also difficulty levels like advanced and hardcore is locked. The difficulty settings is one thing I don't like about newer games. When I finish a game on easy and some of my friends did it on hard. Now you wished you did it on hard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With all these achievements you really can't even finish a game properly because you know you didn't kill that one boss with fists only or didn't do it on hard difficulty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall I think my opinion is probably in the minority. These problems what I have with achievements won't be changed and are mostly catered to the casual players to make them gain points as well but to me it just makes the game longer with no actual satisfaction. You wouldn't do these random achievements because they don't deserve the classification as an achievement but just because they reward you points for that measly deed and that's what makes you do it. I find it's not the right attitude but it probably brings in the most money.</div>

Normally, when we walk, our legs ability to support our weight is split mid-stride.<br />
<br />
2. Walking this way on ice forces each leg to support the weight of the body at an angle that is not perpendicular to the surface of the ice, resulting in a nasty fall.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">GROUND</span><br />
<br />
1. Mark the boundaries of the future ice rink.<br />
2. Make the surface level.<br />
3. Cover the surface level with sand at least 5cm thick if you have any.<br />
4. Put a layer of snow on top (at least 8-10 cm thick), firm it and flatten it out. Form a 7-10 cm high border out of snow around the ice rink.<br />
5. Put up a plywood or net fence around the rink.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">FILLING THE ICE RINK</span><br />
<br />
1. Fill the rink with water when the weather is clear and the air temperature is below -5C.<br />
2. Hold th water hose upwards so that the flow has the shape of a hand fan. This will help make the surface even, recommended angle 35-45.<br />
3. Begin adding water at the far end of the rink and slowly move backwards. Try not to leave any empty spaces.<br />
4. Repeat two or three times every three or four hours.<br />
5. For the final round, use warm water.<br />
6. The ice layer should be at least 12-15 cm.<br />
<br />
<br />
TIPS<br />
<br />
Clear the surface and fill cracks with melting snow before each round of filling.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u><br /></u></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>EXTEND A REMOTE'S RANGE</u></span><br />
If you are opening a gate with a remote, and you are a bit out of range, put it under your chin pointing upward. Your skull is a close enough approximation to a parabolic reflector to direct some extra energy forward giving you extra distance.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>YOUR HAND AS A RULER</u></span><br />
Measure your hand from your fingertips to palm and memorize it. Now you can judge the size of anything without a ruler. Try to pick a finger that is pretty close to a standard length (1inch). You will never need a ruler to estimate again.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>REBOOT THE CREDIT CARD MACHINE</u></span><br />
To piss off an annoying customer behind you in line at a checkout, hold down all the 4 corner buttons on the credit card machine to reboot it. It will take a while to restart<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR FLOOR</u></span><br />
To go directly to your floor on an elevator, even if other floor numbers have been pressed, simply press the desired floor and the door close button at the same time, you will go directly to that floor.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>SPEND LESS TIME IN THE COLD</u></span><br />
If your lock is frozen, use instant hand sanitizer on it. With it's heavy alcohol content , it can break down ice. Squirt some in a resistant lock and get out of the cold.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>TEST A REMOTE</u></span><br />
If you point a TV/DVD remote at a cellphone camera and press any button, you can see the infrared light. This trick will also let you see if IR security cameras are on in the dark.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><u>EXTRA BATTERIES</u></span><br />
9volt batteries contain six AAAA sized cells that can be used in electronics that take AAA batteries. Small sized 12volt batteries contain eight 1,5volt button cell batteries , which retail for $3-$5 each.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03466156286394933569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384190079707224554.post-26840517552676838142013-01-15T07:37:00.002-08:002013-01-15T07:37:15.319-08:00Distinguishing Natural Honey From Fake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In order to boost profits, some producers dilute honey with sugar syrup and molasses. To increase thickness they add flour, starch, chalk, sand and even sawdust.<br />
<br />
-Hold a lighted match to the honey. If it is natural honey it will melt and not begin to hiss straight away.<br />
-Mix the honey in water. Natural honey will not dissolve. If you add 2-3 drops of iodine to the solution it will not turn blue.<br />
-Put some honey onto a piece of paper. If a damp patch spreads around it then it is diluted.<br />
-Dip a piece of stale bread into the honey. After 8-10 minutes it should still be firm and not soften.<br />
-Mix some water into the honey and add 2-3 drops of vinegar essence. If the solution becomes foamy it is adulterated honey.<br />
-Heat a stainless steel piece of wire and insert it into the honey. A good product will stick to the metal and not flow back into the jar.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03466156286394933569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384190079707224554.post-39590905952813981852013-01-14T08:34:00.000-08:002013-01-14T08:35:43.298-08:00How To Get Rid of Acne<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Stop worrying about it immediately! Stress only makes everything worse! Following this guide you will most likely will get rid of your acne if you're not one of the few unfortunates who have completely hormon-induced acne.<br />
<br />
Don't touch your face! Your hands are full of bacteria! Also; Change your bed sheets in reasonable periods and sleep on a clean towel!<br />
<br />
One of the most essential things things to do if you are really serious about achieving the skin of the gods is your diet. Limit yourself to fruit and legumes carbohydrate-wise. Stick to clean fish & meat (use olive oil to bake) or eggs.<br />
<br />
Too crucial not to give them their own subitem: fucking apples! Low on calories, high on vitamin c which will improve your overall health. Also high on vitamin a which will help your scars heal faster.<br />
<br />
Vitamin D for free out there! Get some. You don't need to overdo it, get out like 20 minutes every day.<br />
<br />
Okay so this will make the biggest difference for the most of you guys. Do not nuke your face with expensive moisturizers and cleansers. Let your skin regulate it's acid content. May feel shitty the first few days but you will notice your skin feeling better everyday day.<br />
<br />
Drink 2-3l of water every day . Drink mineral water! Supply water in great amounts will make you sick. If you manage to make this a habit you will notice how much better your skin looks and feels after max two weeks.<br />
<br />
You probably won't need this if you follow this guide but there are a few nice supplements to support your skin improvement. Take some zinc and cod liver oil. Don't take too much of the zinc, that would make things worse.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03466156286394933569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384190079707224554.post-8965716136492716282013-01-11T14:10:00.000-08:002013-01-11T14:15:59.915-08:00Get Yourself a $1 Custom Mousepad<span style="font-size: large;">This expires <b>Mar 31, 2013 - Get it while they're hot!</b></span><br />

And every couple of decades, a new proportion or trend emerges. In the '50s and '60s, the style was carefree single cuff but by the '80s and '90s, it was atrim, tight roll. Today's cuffs are croping up in every style. From the disheveled fold to the crisp cuff, how you roll says a lot about you.<br />

<u><span style="color: #e69138;">THE UPTURN</span></u><br />
What it says: You like things simple and sophisticated. Or you want to show you sprung for the selvedge denim.<br />
How to do it: Simply turn up the hem. The width can vary from a quarter-inch to over two inches.<br />

<u><span style="color: #e69138;">WIDE CUFF</span></u><br />
What it says: You're easy and a tad rugged. Or you couldn't be bothered to have your jeans hemmed.<br />
How to do it: Fold your hem up and over twice. Run your fingers around the cuff to ensure a crisp crease.<br />
<br />

<u><span style="color: #e69138;">TRIM CUFF</span></u><br />
What it says: You prefer a tailored, traditional look. Or you feel it's the only style that pairs well with narrow jeans.<br />
How to do it: Same as the wide, but the cuff should only be between an inch and an inch and a half tall.<br />
<br />

<u><span style="color: #e69138;">THE ROLL</span></u><br />
What it says: You're modern and a tad preppy. Or you like drawing attention to your ankles.<br />
How to do it: Make a double (or tripple) cuff about an inch and a half wide, then squish it down slightly to muss it up. Make sure it's uniquely disheveled. Some of the cuff should tuck into itself<br />

This movie has it all: slapstick comedy (that's right out of a "Looney Tunes" short), martial arts, and dazzling spin-kicks and arm-twists that are all courtesy of Yuen Wo Ping ("The Matrix," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"). In this picture, which is set in 1940s Shanghai, China before the revolution, Chow stars as Sing, an aspiring gangster who wishes to join the notoriously lethal "Axe Gang." The Axe Gang rules much of the city's underground with an iron fist and their demands are absolute. But the accident-prone Sing and his chubby companion (played by Chi Chung Lam) wander into Pig Sty Alley, posing as Axe Gang members. The Axe Gang doesn't bother with this slum very much because it's so poor and plus, it's already under the tyranny of the vicious chain-smoking Landlady (Qiu Yuen), who runs things along with her husband Landlord (Wah Yuen).<br />

Things become complicated when the real Axe Gang shows up, and the Gang is attacked by a trio of kung-fu masters who had been living there. The Axe Gang members are quickly defeated in the ensuing chaos while Sing and his companion are captured by the fleeing gangsters. The two are allowed to join, but are demanded a deed of loyalty - kill someone. For the next 45 minutes or so, Chow is off the screen, and we focus mostly on the tenants of Pig Sty Alley, as the kung-fu masters square off in dazzling skirmishes with Axe Gang acolytes, who are masters themselves. Landlady and Landlord are also later revealed to be masters too.<br />

Chow reenters the picture and remains on the screen until the closing credits, where he, donning a white outfit a la Bruce Lee himself, takes on the remaining gangsters in a free-for-all reminiscent of the "Crazy 88's" scene from "Kill Bill." As it turns out, he is a kung-fu genius, in that he's had the power to master martial arts since birth (I must say Chow does display some impressive moves of his own). He then does battle, in the film's most over-the-top sequence, with The Beast (Hsiao Liang), who is the most feared kung-fu master of them all.<br />
<br />
This is a brilliant action-comedy from a mind that seemed destined to bring forth something like this to the masses. The film plays out a lot like a collision between every great martial arts movie we've ever seen and then adds a heavy dose of slapstick and Chow's sly wit. You'll laugh at Chow's comedic antics, as every great kung-fu flick gets its fair share of comedy. It's just kind of funny, since I was watching "Enter the Dragon" (1973) last night, which is considered the greatest martial arts movie ever, and then today I watch "Kung-Fu Hustle," which could be called one of the greatest parodies of the genre.<br />

<br />
Though some of the humor might be lost on American audiences, I found myself laughing quite a bit. It definitely caught on to me as Chow also pays sly homage to his heroes, both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, who made the genres Chow pays respect to. It's all done in a deliriously comic fashion that also doubles as a visual feast for the eyes. The film also contains a rather touching subplot with a mute girl Sing once saved from bullies, and it really got to me because of the cheesy music that cues up whenever they are on the screen together.<br />

If you are wearing something heavy attached to yourself like a backpack, unstrap it immediately if you feel it pushing you down.<br />
<br />
Assuming you can't reach any part of dry land to help aid you in pulling yourself out, all you need to do to get out then is to slowly lean back putting more of your upper body in the quicksand, which may seem scary, but don't worry, you'll float significantly better in quicksand than water, so you won't sink as long as long you don't make sudden movements, which can result in significant suctioning effects, as well as simply separating some of the water and muck around you. This can potentially create water pockets around you which can decrease your boyancy.<br />
<br />
As you lean back, gently try to bring your legs upwards. Be patient and do everything as if you are doing it in slow motion. You've got all the time in the world here unless you act like you don't and move quickly; then your time on this earth might be ending sooner rather than later.<br />
<br />
Once you are on your back with your legs and mid-section floating, ever so gently use your hands to very slowly paddle your way towards the edge using very short slow strokes. Again, everything should be done as if it is in slow-motion. Don't submerse your hands all the way here. Also, try to keep part of your arms above the muck so you aren't paddling with your entire arm. Paddling with your whole arm at too fast a speed will tend to make the sediment and water separate a bit around your body, as described before, which will decrease your buoyancy, which is bad. As long as you work in slow motion with small strokes, you should be fine either way, but good to be extra cautious.<br />

Depending on how far in you got yourself into the quicksand, it may take several hours to paddle yourself out to where you can reach solid land.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03466156286394933569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384190079707224554.post-24523491429666763492012-12-17T05:52:00.003-08:002012-12-17T05:53:14.250-08:00Strange Days<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Strange Days seems to take on a cult status with each passing year. This film came out in 1995, but is almost prophet like in its ability to summarize our current obsession with technology and experiencing artificial stimulation through computers (e.g. Wii and other interactive games). This film reminds us about the danger that comes along with our constant need for stimuli, and how it detaches us from human contact, desensitizes us to violence, and makes the abnormal seem normal.<br />

The great thing about this film is that it came out 5 years before the year 2000 and didn't try to look to futuristic, as far as fashion, and the cars. No one was using a space craft to get around.<br />

There are three acts in this film: the descent of Lenny into a personal living hell, which is linked with his ex-girlfriend, Faith, who he believes in, despite her penchant for self destruction. Through flashbacks, we see at one point Lenny was a decent cop. Act II is the present time, where we see the seductive nature of the SQUID and the danger is possesses, and how real feelings and emotions are downloaded and traded as a commodity. You also see this edgy undercurrent of "end time" doom felt by everyone, from the murdered rapper Jericho One, to the cops who feel that the urban undercurrent in society, is asking for a level of respect they don't deserve. Order is hanging on by a loose thread and everyone is trying to escape this reality through the use of the SQUID. Act III, is where the price is paid for murders and deception. The order is restored after chaos ensues. Lenny comes out on the other side as a restored person.<br />

Visually, this film is very stimulating, it almost seems like overload in some parts. But this is what the director wanted us to feel, the sense of chaos and impending doom. As far as the acting, Finnes is great, but so is Tom Sizemore, Wincott, Lewis, and of course Angela Basset. She is almost like Virgil to Lenny, guiding him through a maze of hell and hoping he can see the error of his way. She is vulnerable in her love for Lenny, but makes it clear he cannot sacrifice her, or the future of the city, for Faith or the SQUID.<br />

This film had a lot on the plate-racial tension, misuse of technology, sex without emotion, and the blur between lies and truth, which were offered up through the media images of Jericho One. He spoke the "truth" of his reality, but lived a different reality. This film spoke to the idea of media manipulation, which is very rampant in our present culture.<br />

We finally make it to the New Year and after the riot, the truth is restored. When Lenny passes out and wakes up again, I saw that as his rebirth. He has known all the long that Mace loves him, but at the end he is ready to reciprocate that love and that is why he beats on the limo glass to get Mace out of the car. The movie ends with a lover's kiss, which reminds the audience, love is an emotion that cannot be manufactured.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03466156286394933569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384190079707224554.post-74565329924884291142012-12-12T15:45:00.000-08:002012-12-12T15:45:58.457-08:00Super Mario Bros. 3 Never HappenedGame begins with curtain opening, shadows on backdrop.<br />

<br />
A real look at how you can spot someone lying from a series of obvious tells.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are no standardized "tells" that prove you're being lied to. What the investigator tries to do is find, or cause, anomalies, those tiny deviations from the norm that indicate that a person's veracity is suspicious. Most commonly used is the examination of the information given, but it can alose be a physical manifestation, such as a tic in the invidual's voice, a facial clue, or even body movement. It is generally thought that these observable variations are caused by an emotional reaction to lying, and even worse, being caught.</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Some of the following signals are more telling than others.</span><br />
<br />
SLIPS OF THE TONGUE<br />
The mind is distracted with creating the next lie, or considering the fragility of the one just told.<br />
<br />
HESITATION BEFORE ANSWERING<br />
This means the person is considering any fllaws in the deception about to be offered.<br />
<br />
FORCED FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, SUCH AS SMILING TO LONG<br />
Done in order to convince the interviewer of their lack of worry.<br />
<br />
CHANGE IN THE RATE OF BLINKING OR IN THE PITCH OF ONES VOICE<br />
An uncontrollable reaction to guilt or the worry of being discovered.<br />
<br />
EYES THAT DIVERT WHEN THE INTERVIEWER STARES INTO THEM AFTER A DIFFICULT QUESTION<br />
Indicates worry that the investigator is going pick up some "window to the soul" signal.<br />
<br />
INCREASED HAND ACTIVITY, LIKE FIDDLING WITH AN OBJECT ON THE TABLE INFRONT OF THEM<br />
This is emotion being turned into a physical need to relieve the stress of lying.<br />
<br />
SITTING ON THEIR HANDS BECAUSE THEY BECOME CONSCIOUS OF THE MOVEMENT BEING A TELL<br />
<br />
The best interviewers are homicide detectives. After a few minutes with a suspect, they would mystically decalre whether the person was lying or not. When asked how they knew, they rarely listed any of the above characteristics, but instead would say, "I just know." They knew because first of all they had the ability to read people; It's why they were chosen to work murders. And they have interviewed so many people that all those little tics and many more had become part of their "insticts."<br />
<br />
Again, each of these listed manifestations in itself is not a proof of deception, but if one is spotted, you may want to look for others.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03466156286394933569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384190079707224554.post-41478712682952443522012-12-04T14:42:00.002-08:002012-12-18T13:19:00.519-08:00Increase The Life of The Razor Blade<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
MATERIALS NEEDED<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pair of jeans (old or new, it doesnt matter; just needs to have one of the pant legs in tact.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shaver like gillete or schick brand razors or other disposable razors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before or after you shave (I prefer before so that the blades are dry, place your jeans on a hard flat surface; then run the razor up the pant legs about 10-15 times quickly; then repeat running it down the pant legs 10-15 times quickly. No need to press that hard, but a little pressure is necessary. In both instances, you want to point the top of the razor in the direction you are rubbing the shaver on the pants. In other words, don't "shave" the pants; point the razor the other way, so that the blades glide over the surface of the jeans and don't try to cut them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The threads on the jeans then will very effectively both fix any tiny bends in the blades that inevitably happen and will also sharpen the blades on your shaver cartridge. For an already dull blade, you can sharpen it up pretty effectively by doing 50-100 swipes both ways to get it back up to "like new" condition, but only 10-15 times swiped both ways should be necessary to maintain sharpness.</div>
