I'm playing MW2 at work.
friday afternoon win!

I stopped drinking at the age of 17.
11 years later i haven't had a drop since.
Hooking up with the people i used to drink with who didn't stop is 100% proof that i made the right decision.
Health > adult drinks.

Carl Sagan a true science gent.

today is all about the new LIGHTNING BOLT and FUCK BUTTONS albums!!!!!!

TRES BON!

i'm more concerned by that womans lack of a belly button!
HUMAN CLONES ARE AMONG US!

i'm trying to find the references to post but thinking about it one might have been chemo and the other brain trauma.

There have been two cases in the states reccently where chemotherapy has been used in defence of paepdophillia, i think they were successful too.

smashing up your brain (or doing anything to your brain chemistry, such as chemotherapy, for that matter) can do all sorts to you, such as increased weight gain (which in turn can be due things as varied as altered metabolism or altered impulse control) to apparently inducing paedophillia!
Your body is governed by a balance of chemical cascades alter that balance and their maybe a physical result such as increased fat deposition. But now we are wandering into the hazy world of free will and conciousness (which is a potentially useless by product) and things might get outta hand.

I've said all this before but....
The vast majority of people we see in our diabetes clinic are obese not because of medication, leptin gene mutation, hormonal imbalance etc (despite these being regular claims for the cause of their weight). They are obese due to over eating. If you are a western european and obese then the cause is virtually always due to poor diet and a sedentary life style (oddly people of south asian descent are more likely to be diabetics in general.) There are the exceptions with rare mutations or brain injuries but they are grossly outnumber by over eaters/exercise deniers.

And whilst it will never happen legislation such as this would legitimise the lack of responsibility and denial that many of these people display to avoid doing what would significantly improve their health and well being.

A shift in the way our population eats, what it eats and more acceptance of self-responsibility are the only way to avoid suffering for a significant proportion of the population.

I have spent the last 2 years working on the molecular biology of diabetes in relation to the in vivo environment and due to the futility of working with people unwilling to help themselves i am considering moving into a different field when my contract expires.

I have only trained at one club so my experience of the techniques and testing is fairly limited but our krav pressure tests consist of continual attacks from at least three attackers which will only be from a selection of attacks applicable to the level of the person being attacked over a period of time specified by the defenders level. So currently I am doing tests over 6 minutes defending against standard stuff like straight and hook punches punches, chokes from any position, bear hugs from any position, attacks on the ground (defender on back or front, side control, various mounts etc) knife defence (held to throat from all positions, slashing and stabbing attacks) gun defence (currently only to chest, working on threats to head etc). All of these are suprise attacks and can be accompanied by an attack to ride out to start with such as a throw or take down.

All attacks are carried out with 95% aggression, you have to get yourself out of the attack the attacker won't let you off lightly. Currently everything is done in a fully lit room with lots of space but there is talk afoot of tests in low light environments and confined spaces.

I find 6 minutes utterly exhausting, but will be moving up to 8 soon and eventually 10 - 15. the horror!

we also have started trying to get a little krav involved in kickboxing sparring i.e rather than backing out at the end of a combo start grappling and throwing in some knees and using the take downs/disengagements from the pressure tests to stop your sparring partner before restarting. I find this much more fun than regular sparring but it tends to get really chaotic quickly.

I have been training in krav maga and kickboxing for the last 3 years. I have tried to avoid posting in this thread as im a scrawny little 62 kilo stick of a lad and talking about fighting always seems to give me a total complex about being a shorty...but....
the difference between krav and kickboxing (at least what i have been practicing) is huge. I love both but kickboxing is much more sport based whereas krav is very focussed on quickly and efficiently removing yourself from a difficult situation using the most basic simple and logical techniques that can be remember quickly and under pressure. Kickboxing obviously helps get your body used to the physical aspects of throwing strikes etc but sparring and krav pressure testing a very different beasts.

BRAID oft imitated never bettered.
frame and canvas is such a politely awesome record i always forget about its greatness.

The video link is horrendous but i couldnt find a better quality one

the final series of battlestar galactica to remind myself of how shit it finished.

and

i have got really into fringe.

I'm such a secret science fiction geek. None of my friends know. I feel dirty and ashamed but its so GOOD.

worth keeping an eye on recycle and maybe bikology too if they do second hand

Will keep my eyes peeled in north leeds

I agree that bioshock isn't up to half life's standards but i was referring more to the feeling i got from both games that the story development was as important to the designers as the game mechanics. This is something that i think lacks from the vast majority of current games/series. for example halo.

I'll never look at golf clubs in the same way again!

the greatest video game ever written:
SYSTEM SHOCK 2.
utterly unfuckwithable and totally terrifying.

bioshock was an OK successor to it. Wished they hadn't done away with inventory. If you liked HL2 for the story telling aspect of the game they you should love bioshock as the makers seemed to have put some effort into actually generating a plot and story unlike balls like the halo series.

also:
new campaign out for L4D.
pretty good.

also 2:
i have joined the steam group. lets shoot some zombies. and maybe i can finally complete an original campaign in advanced

In terms of pain:
childbirth < getting deep heat on your balls.

martyrdom is such a depressing perk

i'd be up for left 4 dead LFGSS games.

When would it be appropraite to suggest that a character "do a skid"?

Also hammer CoD4 pretty heavily and would get inolved in match action. Perhaps a LFGSS league?
silenced p90, uav jammer and extreme conditioning.
sneaky sneaky stabby stab

Left 4 dead 2.
All that matters in terms of video games this year.

yeah it is indeed a clincher.
I will sort reply pms ASAP.
cheers

Bumped for (crappy) photos:

scratches are to stickers rather than rim i just haven't removed them.
