Hmmm. That is weird. Maybe a pattern will emerge.

Man, if those felt meh, you can jam a well timed/thrown lob.

thanks man! i hope that's true. on a good day, i think i could do it with perfect timing. no training partner, though, and all the balls at the gym are too deflated to self-lob. i need an overinflated ball to use, my own ball sucks.

To me, the most obvious thing I see for the SVJs is the total lack of armswing... you swing your arms but you get 0 out of it. There's really no synchronization between the armswing and the actual jump... you should work on that more.

The running jumps look ok... although some of them don't look too "certain" in terms of where and when to start the plant etc

thanks raptor, good point about the SVJ. i tried to work on that today and will keep it in mind.

you people are ridiculous. did you perhaps think that knowledge of what to do to reduce the likelihood of a hangover was not, um, common? yeah, of course drinking water helps. of course NSAIDs help. but sometimes they help a lot and sometimes not. prescribing something like "drink 1000mL of water and take a couple of whatevers" is completely beside the point.

here, go read joan acocella's history of hangover cures from a few years ago: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/05/26/080526fa_fact_acocella?currentPage=all.

oh yeah, sorry, paracetamol we call acetaminophen in the US, for some reason. it's not an NSAID but it's actually TERRIBLE to take with booze because it's hard on your liver.

Translation:

I don't care about what alcohol does to my liver, just what some medicine does to it.

no. alcohol in moderation can be handled by the liver. that's the liver's job. acetaminophen/paracetamol is the LEADING CAUSE OF ACUTE LIVER FAILURE in the united states. when you mix it with alcohol, things can go badly.
