    Who says online gaming doesn't help

    I mean good for the boy, fast thinking. I don't think WoW taught him to play dead though. I also don't think that going through his mind was "If I have a level 5 taunt i should be able to get his attention enough to ..........." more "Holy Crap a moose, its headed for my little sister! HEY OVER...

    Feds cut pension payments to cons

    In the states felons are not allowed to vote while serving any sentence or any part of their probation. Many states allow them to re-register once their time has been served but several permanently ban you from voting again. That may be a bit harsh (especially for lesser felonies) however I...

    OK I see they are talking about static stretching. Yes this is true that static stretching (too much of it) can do exactly as they say, cause your muscles to contract by overstretching and you hurt yourself. It also mentions that "movements that incorporate stretching like lunches" also known as...

    Thats why you warm up first, now do you HAVE to stretch its debatable I know that after a few minutes of jogging or jumping jacks etc. I feel much better during my workouts if i stretch out whatever i'm working that day, then the stretching at the cool down is just to make sure they don't...

    Yes you should warm up before (for roughly 5 minutes) then do some stretching. Complete your workout and then a 5-10 minute cool down including some light stretching.

    Yes like I said they took my weight and height as well as measured me for cockpits. They never stated "Your BMI is x" this however does not mean they didn't write it down. My main point is my BMI is like 34. Where as my body fat percentage is roughly 21. I am overweight, I am not morbidly obese...

    Having recently completed (and passed) my A1 Aircrew medical. I did Blood work, blood pressure, hearing, eyes, put me in a machine to measure my body to see if I'd fit in a plane. Lung tests, weight, height, etc. I don't recall them mentioning my BMI but obviously with all those tests they could...

    Israel (IDF) versus Gaza aid ships- updates

    Sorry what I meant was Bdave asking if Israel owned Palestinian waters cause if they didn't the blockade would be illegal. I was saying you only have blockades in waters that weren't yours why would you blockade your own waters.

    Israel (IDF) versus Gaza aid ships- updates

    Now I'm not navy but explain to me. If I owned the waters would I not then in theory own the ports? Why would I blockade my own ports? You would only Blockade enemy ports which would be in their waters. Maybe I'm wrong but thats how it logically works out in my mind.

    Not kidding, I can pass the pushups, situps, and for the RMC test the long jump etc. but I've never been good at the beep test. I'm slow. Played football in high school, fenced competitively on an international level for 5 years. Was on the training squad for the Canada Games team for my...

    "Woman who walked onto highway sues Google Maps"

    gotta say we have a two lane highway by my house with less room on the side of the road than that during one 300m stretch and I walk that every day, never been hit. There was plenty of space on the side of that road to not get hit

    the only reason I'm not complaining is that, while I switched to a healthy lifestyle and have been working my ass off I was VERY overweight (60lbs) I'm down 10 ish, but that means I still have 50 to go and only 2 months till recruit camp at RMC, I'm not gonna make it by then. Christmas however I...

    New Leatherman

    Kinda what I figured. I was definitely leaning towards the wave, charge, or surge anyways. Always been a leatherman carrier (basically cause thats what i inherited and what my grandfather always used) might look at a SOG though. I'd have to try them side by side.

    New Leatherman

    Sleeping Brit Prof on Air Canada Plane Wakes Up in Hangar

    Checking for articles is done by the groomers (cleaning crew) and if it was the last flight of the night and the plane was headed to a hangar the groomers wouldn't work it till after it was parked in the hangar.
