Volunteers: Introduce yourself
This is a place for the volunteers from the new volunteer group to introduce themselves and how they can offer advice/help, if they haven't already done that.
I'll start.
I know a lot about coffee. Roasting, brewing, serving, etc. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about coffee, or coffee related machines. (roasters, airpot brewers, espresso machines, etc.)
I've also been doing a lot with biodiesel, and I can offer advice on that subject. (Instructables coming as soon as I finish them)

Hi! I just joined the group and I am good at:
- Basic electronics (led's, resistors, wiring, batteries, not micro-controllers)
- Proof-reading instructables
- Cooking
- Fixing computer problems
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!

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).

Well I know this is old but I am a member of the group so,
I know my way around mac computers I am not the greatest with xcode terminal and quartz composer, but I am capable of using all of them. If anyone wants a tutorial on how to make a web browser in xcode how to play pong in xcode or how to make a screensaver that takes video input from your webcam and runs it through some filters and then displays it for some really cool results with quartz composer just ask.

I work mainly in software and open source, but I've found some fun levers to push which connect my digital to your physical, like laser-cutting, arduino and processing.
I've got fairly good at them, so if you think some kind of computationally generated vector graphic is critical to your design, or you need to know how to make a circuit which detects when the bus stops and wakes you up, then drop me a line.

I see that on Instructables there's a lot of people who want to have something, but who don't really want to do the building but are willing to pay for the items. I can help here and build it for you. I have basic knowledge on electronics, wood work, metal work and general hardware like that. I hope some one here finds my skills of some use.
Sorry, haven't been doing much on Instructables because I've been doing my first Instructable. Thanks, I'll join now.
Skills:
I'm primarily a computer person, with experience in a wide variety of programming languages on Windows and Linux.
I have reasonable knowledge of electronics.
I have high-level education in maths, physics, chemistry and computer science.
I am conversant with a lot of "productivity" and media software, notably: GIMP, Audacity, MS Excel
I know my way around a digital camera and the basics of how to compose a decent photo, and have self-taught photo retouching.
"Soft" skills:
Good technical command of the english language, spelling and proofreading
I'm a budding MacGyver and enjoy improvising things, repurposing commonplace materials and making new things out of them.
Quite a lot of "science communication" roles throughout my education- look up Top of the Bench and Paperclip Physics for more
Things I can't do at all:
Personal organisation
Cooking beyond student food
Foreign languages
Drawing

I'm good at random things. As in, I may be able to help or I may not. But either way I will try to help.
I'll re-introduce myself:
Science teacher, main interests currently making stuff. I know quite a lot of explosive stuff that I'm not allowed to do in the UK. Technically, under current UK anti-terror legislation, my brain is illegal.
Other interests - general science, mildly-pedantic use of language, and I'm a Cub leader.

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"

I can't find any shoelaces either. I think that was my favorite 1984 thread I've seen in a while. Nice job guys!
Same here. My brain is illegal in every UN nation except Russia.

It did? It didn't know it was that funny, perhaps I should say it next time I bump into a cop...
Hey. I'm good at guitars and know loads about them so I could offer some helpful advice on them. I also play a lot of sports so I could help on any sport related instructables. I know basic electronics and program well in Python. So if anyone needs my help just ask!
Oh, and I'm good at lake related things (fishing, bait hunting, bait selling)

I can offer assistance with English, grammar, and even proofing your instructable prior to release. I can also offer help with a very wide variety of Comp Sci topics (too eclectic a mix to be specific). I can offer up-to-the-second information on emergency medicine/first aid/general medical topics. Macro photography is an interest, so if you are getting really poor results in your instructables photo documentation attempts, I might know a trick or two to help. I guess what I am saying is that, like so many of us, I am a bit of a generalist with a hunger for new knowledge, and have come across a lot of good information in my travels. I also browse instructables when I have a lot of time on my hands, so if I am here, I totally have time to help you out.

i can offer loads of advice on art. where to buy, how to buy, techniques, good brands,how to art supplies,how much to pay, stuff like that also, i can offer fishing advice. strictly freshwater though
My biggest strength lies in my inherent ability to be eclectic. And I love to find out if "other then the normal ways to do things" will work.
My field of experimentation is wide, my reading wider still. One of the things I concentrated on for many a year, was electronics, and scripting (mostly java scripting). I have been involved with a few forms of art (pyrograph pic included) , science, psychology, sociology, and a smattering of other general subjects.
Maybe I should change my moniker to MISC. *lol*

I'm Available to Help. My specialty I would have to say is taking Technically challanging things and explaining them in "I'm not a dictonary" ways. other then that I Excel at computer software (usage and manipulation, not programming), Comp Hardware, Wood construction... some finer detail woodworking and reverse engineering of any kind. I'm good at but not the best with simple/small electronics. I learned pretty much everything I know about electronics via reverse engineering. other then that I'm told I'm a butially honest sounding board and have a little knowledge of every subject... but only the master of a few. oh and I'm a music nut... anything music, music recording, preforming or instrument related... I could probably help

Great idea for a group! I would like to volunteer my services as a Horticulture professional. If anyone would like help with anything plant related I'm happy to offer advice. My qualifications include: >> Assisted in maintaining soil based gardens since I was old enough to use a shovel. (my mother and grandfather were both avid gardeners) >> Focused on horticulture classes in highschool and went on to major in ornamental horticulture in college >> Worked for 4 years at a retail plant nursery >> Worked for 6 years doing landscape design/instalation >> For 8 years I have been designing and building home hydroponic systems. Additionally, I have taught highschool and college level classes about hydroponic theory and design. >> President of Highschool's FFA chapter >> Recipient of Dekalb Excelence in Agriculture Award 2003. >> Horticultural Advisor to FHS Garden Club 2002-2003. >> Some other stuff I can't think of right now. If you are working on a plant related instructable and would like help please let me know.
I'm a public health major, and therefore can assist in your nutrition/exercise physiology/anatomy/chronic disease needs. :D I'm also quite well read - a bookworm actually. And I love editing things. Have an instructable that needs editing? Send it to me! I'm also fairly familiar with graphic design basics. I love finding new ways to do things and I am the queen of reusing items and turning them into something neat, especially books.

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

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!
OOOohhhh. I figured it out!
I took it as in "I'm also quite well read", as in a present-tense verb. Not the past-tense. (reed, not red)
Sorry :P
