Welcome to the Volunteers Group!

thank you

Hi there Kcls!
I recently came across a member who is really interested in making his ibles the best he can. Would you be so kind to look at his recent ible and give him some ideas on how to improve it? I thank you in advance!

Personally I think he is doing a great job but I think he can polish it to be really good!

Sunshiine,

Have you thought of joining the Volunteers yourself?

Yes, actually. I just found this today. I recently subscribed to this person and offered what little help I can, but I have not mastered instructables to the point I feel confident enough right now. I am still learning. I would love to see instructables offer a spell checker on our page. I think they would receive a lot more featured worthy projects if they did.

The site is generally optimised to be viewed in FireFox, which means you can add a dictionary that will spell-check for you as you type.

I use this one.

Plus, if you use the "rich editor" for your comments, there is a spell-check button on that (the one that says "ABC" over a small tick-mark).

 like the high level sarcasm offer

I forgot to add:

Recycling/repurposing.
Improvising stuff. (Materials, not Improv acting)

Lol, whaaat? 

Okay. 

Welcome, Zem.

Thanks Kiteman! 

How did you find this? (without noticing Kiteman's recent) L

Did you join the group?

Sorry, haven't been doing much on Instructables because I've been doing my first Instructable. Thanks, I'll join now.

THOUGHT CRIMINAL!

He was caught talking in his sleep. Also he was only acting in the two minutes hate.

AAHHH! ITS 1984!!

The penny drops...

OH NOES! In the other thread, we talked about how much we love each other... THEY KNOW WHO TO USE AGAINST US!!!

DON'T SLEEP, THATS WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU. IF YOU DON'T GET THIS, THEN WE SHALL MEET IN THE PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO DARKNESS. *Acts natural* "I'm a prole, honest"

Quick! Escape to the countryfield! Just don't rent apartments...

Not off old guys who own shops especially...

Hey, lemme buy you a litre of beer..

The Party is wonderful, I like my Gin.

Me also, but i really need some razorblades...

I can't find any shoelaces either. I think that was my favorite 1984 thread I've seen in a while. Nice job guys!

Thanks :-P

Same here. My brain is illegal in every UN nation except Russia.

 lol i like that................................or do I because i am a russian spy ................or................am........................I?

That deserved a:

lol

It did? It didn't know it was that funny, perhaps I should say it next time I bump into a cop...

Oh, and I'm good at lake related things (fishing, bait hunting, bait selling)

Hmm, lost the picture....

Oh, and when I am in the mood, I like sports too:

Playing not watching ;-)

Do you think the best way of building stamina is to run "wind sprints", or run long distances as fast as you can until you can't run/pass out? I play football; the coaches say that it is.

He's conditioning you

You definitely shouldn't be running until you drop. But that's what a lot of coaches like to think works. Don't let me get started with all the "coaches suck and need formal training" nonsense. ;) Pushing yourself as hard as you can everytime from the beginning will sometimes cause quite a bit of harm, especially if you aren't in the greatest shape to begin with. Not to mention you could develop DOMS due to tearing of muscle fibers - and DOMS will set you back in your workouts, which isn't good. I think the best way to increase stamina is to treat your training almost as endurance training in the beginning. Go slow and steady at first. Once you feel comfortable at a certain pace, move on to the next pace level. Keep doing this until you can run for long periods of time at the fastest pace you can handle. Or, you could mix in sprints during your long distance runs. For example, run at a slow steady pace for 5-10 minutes, and then sprint for a couple minutes and go back to your regular pace. I'm assuming the coach just wants your team to be able to move quickly for longer periods of time. It's definitely beneficial to have both endurance and power in football, so I can see why he's doing it, but perhaps he's pushing too hard. :)

I guess I should also add that the definition of "stamina" varies within exercise physiology, which is quite annoying. I'm looking at it as being a combination of endurance and power. Endurance training is what I consider to be a slow and steady pace, like 12-15 reps of weights that you can easily lift. Training for power is what I consider to be quick and difficult - like 3-5 reps of extremely heavy weights using quick bursts. I consider stamina to be the best of both worlds, though others consider it to be on the endurance side. Hopefully when we study exercise physiology in the coming years everything will start to have consistent definitions. :P

The best way to build stamina is... Sulphur-Tantulum Minus the Iodine-Sodium (hardy har har)

Do you help with psychology?

I don't know anything but the basics and I'm probably rusty on that. I've only had a few psych classes. :P

=[

Oh, don't be sad. Look, a kitty! :D

shes cute

NEDM zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuzuhhh

that was pretty random, whats ur kittys name?

That's little miss Jade. She's the princess of the household. :D

Hopefully, you're the queen... Is the boyfriend a serf? >:D

Hahaha, no, the serf would be Bebop. He's been demoted from prince thanks to awful behavior. My boyfriend is certainly the king... but like many powerful men, I'm really the one making the important decisions. Mwahahahaha! He's just there to look pretty... and like the Joker, judging from the one picture I have uploaded on here. :D

your other cat is also cute

That sort of suits you.... xD

You look mad that he made you where a pink wig.

That's just me being punk rock. Making a GRR face = punk rock.

That's questionable. You look like you got some of the pink fibers stuck in your teeth

Well sometimes people get hungry and they have no food...

You apparently learned some things at psych :P

Also, adding a LOLcat-esque caption makes people even happier

z0mg!

"I'm also quite well read"
"And I love editing things."

Is it just me... or is "I'm also quite well read" terrible grammar? Or am I just stupid... :P

Doctor! It hurts when I bend my arm like this!

I wouldn't say it's terrible... if I said "I'm also quite good read" it would be. :D But I have a habit of adding extra fluff (adverbs and adjectives, mostly) to my sentences. I promise I don't go around adding extra fluff into other peoples' writing, haha!
