I'm heading for the basement. Thanks.

How long before the stroke is "hardwired" in the brain?

play barefooted Martial artists achieve a great deal of stability as they spar barefooted. I often play pool in my socks at home. Does anyone else play barefooted?

Reich over Friedman You can never go wrong with orgone energy.

Thomas Friedman's caricatures of political science Congratulations! You & Friedman have found the solution to world peace. Since McDonalds does not use pork in its healthfare, the War on Terror can merely adopt a strategy of carpet bombing the Muslim world with 1/4 pounders. Vegans have been...

globalization vs proletraian internationalism If globalization meant cooperation and a commitment to human rights including worker safety, benefits, & living wages then it could be progressive. Proletarian internationalism would mean globalization in the interests of the working class...

Stan Shuffett I second Matt90's assessment. As a beginner, I can honestly say that Stan reduced my learning curve by years. Every detail of his pedagogy is scientifically grounded. He is more interested in helping serious students than he is in the money. I am confident that he showed me the...

muscle fibers Would the individual's ratio of slow/fast muscle fibers be a factor?

Ice Breaker tip The fact that you put your integrity ahead of sales promotion in your store distinguishes you from the business norm. Ads for the Icebreaker break tip insinuate that it offers the hardness of phenolic & the control of leather. I always wonder when I am offered the...

chalk & testosterone Thank you so much for a response grounded in wisdom rather than testosterone. Phenolic- What "maintenance" are you referencing? What do you mean by, "the user knows how to use that type of tip?" Are there specific techniques associated with the phenolic? The phenolic...
