Good afternoon folks. I am posting this to thank Jim Robinson for such a light and yet very functional and practical site. I am honored to be able and participate.
Text Content counts more than visual aesthetics and Bangles and Bling. Very well done considering his geographic location and demographics.
I will be jumping in to the comment sections as soon as possible but have to first warn you all of my background and position. I am a Christian Minister who has lost his way and can no longer claim Righteousness.
Too much has happened that can be pointed as wrong doing and intent of even my own faith before I can judge others. I have studied the History of the Future, and it looks pretty bleak due to our own actions as The Divine ones, The Chosen ones. (Every faith claims this with fallacy).
Radical Extremism and Hypocrisy will be the downfall of Humanity no matter the source. Two Wrongs do not make a right. Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong. No matter the Source.
Extremism, Hypocrisy and Intolerance will indeed be the down fall of all our Grandchildren no matter of Origin, Faith or Race. We will all be judged based on our own personal Hypocrisy and lack of true Self-Righteousness in the end.
Take the High Road and you will be truly and honestly Righteous.

Does this string of unrelated words have an equivalent in an English sentence that actually means something?
“I have studied the History of the Future, and it looks pretty bleak...”
Hmmmmmmm.... Either a backwards time traveler, or...or...wait!
It couldn’t be!
It is!

We could start a religion...
Pretty sure this thread has something to do with The Doors.
It’s all relevant, but my direct response is at about he 3:50 mark -

Hypocrisy is a funny word which is manipulated by the most hypocritical people. Hypocrisy is a red flag word around here.
Research on the use of electromyostimulation (EMS) as a method of training of healthy skeletal muscle has increased over the past decade. Several studies have indicated that this training modality enables the development of maximal force, albeit with a great diversity in reported strength gains, ranging from 0 to 44%. Differing stimulation modes (frequency, pulse duration), testing procedures, training protocols (number and duration of the sessions), pretraining status, and interindividual differences may account, at least partly, for the observed discrepancies.
Recently, some studies have attempted to investigate the effect of EMS training on the specific performance of athletes from various team sports. For instance, Maffiuletti et al. and Malatesta et al. demonstrated the positive effects of short-term EMS training on the vertical jump performance of basketball and volleyball players. These changes were also associated with isokinetic and isometric strength gains. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has been published regarding EMS training effects on the specific performance of ice hockey players.
Analysis of physiological profile of elite ice hockey teams reveals the importance of aerobic endurance, anaerobic power and endurance, muscular strength, and skating speed. It was also pointed out that the strength decrement observed during the hockey season can be attributed to the lack of specific strength programs. Our study used EMS training as a complement to standard training practices with the goal of improving both the muscular strength and physical performance of ice hockey athletes. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of a 3-wk EMS training program on the quadriceps femoris muscle strength and on specific physical abilities of ice hockey players, such as vertical jump and speed skating performance. The quadriceps muscle group was firstly chosen because it develops the largest contractile strength during the push-off of the skating thrust, whereas the hamstrings and gastrocnemius muscles primarily act to stabilize the knee joint. This muscle group was secondly chosen because three of its four component muscles are superficial and can be easily stimulated.
Sorry!
I plumb forgot to !gnip you.
“geographic location and demographics” ping

And discussed Politics while doing it. Kudows for this Location for a Conservative rag...
Thanks Gentleman!
This reply is exactly why I no longer have faith in the judgments of Men. The Good Book was not meant to be interpreted as so. Far too many have defiled themselves as claiming Righteousness while doing the very same wrongs as those they distaste. I can no longer “go with the Flow” and justify my faith when Men of this faith are just as judgmental and wrong in action as those we are told to hate.
They are Wrong...We are Wrong in Retaliation at their level, They are winning by manipulating our emotions and we are falling for it Lock, Stock and Barrel. We can trace this Retaliation back to the Kingdoms of Kish and Elam... At what point are we going to say enough is enough and just stop the madness for the future of our Great Grandchildren?
When are we going to take the High Road and not allow ourselves to be manipulated like children without the critical thinking skills to not be duped into a mess that was manufactured on purpose by not even those we are told to hate?
I have been blocked from replying or commenting back. Says a lot...
.. Yeah, I’m not really feelin’ this.
I have learned that you rarely get satisfaction in deep dicussions on the internet. Even on free republic which has many very sharp and sincere people
Someone added the tag “sniff”. I’d like to thank you for that.
"Take the High Road and you will be truly and honestly Righteous."
And a pile of filthy rags to you too!
(Personally, I'm a Bokononist. Wanna do some Boko-Maru, Baby?)

Watching hockey players move around the ice has always given me pleasure——it’s awesome.
