    Winter Boots

    How 'bout these. I think I might like them even better than last year's. JD_May, you have these boots, right? Do you feel that the zippers might ever break, separate from the rest of the boot or leak, etc? I've always kinda hesitated to buy zippered boots for that reason, although I can...

    Alternatives to squats?

    It allows the knees to travel farther forward. Put a book under each heel and squat and you'll see what I mean. The only real flexibility issues should be from the hamstrings or -- likely in your case -- the calves. Will check that out. Thanks.

    Alternatives to squats?

    What about lunges? Leg press, dumbbell step ups, Romanian split squats, lunges Yeah, this is sorta what I was thinking. What have your experiences with lunges and step-ups been like, compared with squats? And do they work the quads mostly or the glutes as well? I'll have to find out what...

    Alternatives to squats?

    If you need to lean forward too much, wear a stacked heel and/or do front squats. I doubt you're doing them correctly, though, because not 'rolling your hips enough' doesn't make sense. I said I understand how to do them correctly, but I'm not able to, due to flexibility issues. I do front...

    Alternatives to squats?

    I keep injuring my back doing squats. I started lifting about two years ago, and was taught how to do them properly by a good strength coach, but I have a degenerating joint in my lower back (arthritis basically) which limits my flexibility. When I squat I can't roll my hips enough and end up...

    Just waxed myself (not as bad as I thought)

    thanks for the tip. can you point me to an online store that has one of these? I'm at school right now, so there aren't any salons nearby. Also, how often do you find yourself having to do this? The stuff I'm using is called Parissa chamomile body sugar, and I just picked it up in the drug...

    Just waxed myself (not as bad as I thought)

    Try one of the kits that uses a sugar solution instead of wax. That stuff is water-soluble; just take a shower to get rid of the residue. Also +1 for exfoliation afterward. Some benzol peroxide helps when the hairs are growing back in.

    Loft, what do you think?

    That's beautiful work Mr. Sly, congratulations. Did you convert it from factory space yourself, or was it already a loft when you got it? A couple of things: - Really like all the skylights - Are those garage doors on the main level? - The floating staircase is great. It's quite a span...

    Blade Runner appreciation thread

    "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." I think what I like best about this scene, apart from the...

    Colors for East Asians

    Oh we have plenty, but you have to get sub-***** for that, digging down into the nativist animus for the foreign other. To wit, you could serve an Irish-American little more insult than to call him Paddy. You could call him English...
