How to Blink Well

Blinking well is a task that requires extreme skill, persistence, and focus. Believe it or not, but many people are incapable of advanced and controlled blinking. Follow these steps to ensure a safe and happy life of blinking. Good luck!

Steps

  1. Exercise your eyes.
  2. Make sure your eyes are fully exercised, and then you can start!
  3. Time your blinking. The average blinking rate is 10 blinks per minute (for infants, only a few times a minute).
          * If your blinking is a little more than this, don't worry! You may just be a little over the average. However, if your
            blinking is over 100 blinks for a minute, a doctor may be needed. A very low blinking rate may be related to Parkinson's
            disease. If you know your blinking average is lower than normal you should start blinking intensely for 10-15 minutes
            every 4 hours, as this is widely known to slow the progession of Parkinson's disease.
          * When staring or focusing at an object for a long time, blinking will reduce to only 3 to 4 times a minute.
          * If your blinking seems fine, then you're doing great!
          * If your blinking is noticeably low, or noticeably high, see a doctor.
          * See the tips and warnings for additional steps towards good blinking!


Tips

    * Have a blinking buddy to help you time your blinking while you are doing everyday things, like chores or walking.
    * Don't blink too hard or too lightly.
    * Adjust your lighting so it is not causing irregular blinking.


Warnings

    * Make sure there are no sharp items in your eyes while you blink.
    * Don't over-blink.

For now, I'll leave you with the knowledge that the Grave Digger/Alestorm gig was a blast. They didn't play "Curse of Jacques", but in the end that didn't matter anymore. Alestorm played all the hits and a brand new song, and the first support band, Taleteller, was also very good, a simple, plain, down-to-earth old-school heavy metal band that didn't try to be anything else.

I'll post a detailed review tomorrow.

You don't have to make the whole review but how did you like Grave Digger's setlist?
Was Rebellion the last song?
 
Fuck, I really forgot about posting a full review.

Rebellion was the last song before the encore. They played a lot of old stuff, some of which I admit I didn't know. What I remember for certain was that they played
Knight's Of The Cross, Lionheart, Excalibur, Yesterday, The Dark Of The Sun, Valhalla, Circle Of Witches, Headbanging Man, Witch Hunter and of course Heavy Metal Breakdown.
There were a few new songs all of which sounded great. All in all, it was a great setlist. And it was a real joy to see the guys play- I've hardly ever seen a band having so much fun onstage.

Deano: I wish I could take the week off, but I've got a test this Thursday and the big exam next Thursday... argh. I'm tired. I'm particularly pissed off at Conjunctive II, that bloody whore.

Bud Shootout coming up!!! and then the 500!!!
 
Bud as in Budweiser I decided I'm never buying it again I use to like it but I bought some on Superbowl Sunday and I had to force it down I'm going to stick to the Moosehead or Heineken when I drink beer(Or other stronger stuff from Europe).
 
Thanks Per,
I guess they haven't played theri epic Heart of Darkness for many years. That song has great atmosphere (and riffing of course)!

I took the US government aptitude test for languages and was told I could go to the foreign language school in California to take any language I wanted. What I wanted was any of the Arabic languages.... not exactly like Persian but close. I was then told that I had too much seniority and that they weren't going to waste that much time and money on someone that would not be around for at least another 12 years. DAGGER!!!!

Who said nothing good ever comes out of the drunk posting thread? I like the new name too, looks kind of like Dolon. That's it though, I can't keep changing my bloody name, I don't think I've seen anyone else do it here unless they left for a while and then re-registered with a new name.

The keyboard on my actual laptop (at least the 1 and the Q are done). I'll be getting a new one soon; in the meantime I just have to travel with a USB one, no problem there, there isn't a lot of travel for me in the very near future anyway.

Dude, I have mixed feelings about the new season of NASCAR, I'm kind of excited about it but I still really have a bad taste in my mouth from the 3-peat of Johnson last year, I really can't stand that guy. We'll see.

Good idea Prisoner, Budweiser is good for nothing or nobody. You can't go wrong sticking with Canadian or European beers (although I would recommend broadening your horizons beyond that if you can pick up any Russian or Oriental beers, never stop experiementing). Good job though, one of your first official proclamations as a legal drinker: ditching Bud for good; very good job indeed.  :cheers:

I hate to be anal, but Persian and Arabic aren't close. Persian is an Indo-European language, Arabic is a Semitic language. Persian has many similarities to English, German or Latin, even if it doesn't seem that way at first glance (and even if it seems unbelievable). It is also much easier and pleasant for Europeans to pronounce, because there is only a handful of sounds that don't exist in any western European language, and even they are mostly used in Arabic loan words.
I talked to several Iranians who are learning Arabic, and they say that it's an outright bitch. One made fun of the fact that on the very first page of his textbook, there is a chart of the human pharynx for phonetic reasons. :D
 
I'm sure the speaking is quite different Per but the writing is pretty similar is it not?

...and yeah, the Arabic school is 2 years long to be declared just proficient at the language. It must be extremely difficult.
 
I want Keith's, but haven't found any here.... GK turned me on to that a year or so ago.  Speaking of GK, he is married now, yes? 

@D%N, yeah, i dig on the name change.. tho the last one was only slight, and funny!! yes, the drunk thread is awesome!

I'm also with you on the new nascar season.  I'm not nearly as pumped as I have been in years past.  I would have rather anyone but Johnson win it, now I'm almost bored with it.  Hopefully the Bud shootout will get me in the mood.  Best way to start the year is seeing Kyle Busch taking out himself and Johnson in the first turn of the 500!!!
 
Yeah, I think he'll have a good year-- good things are in store for Gibbs.  I'm curious to see how things go for Stewart and his new team.  Obviously, I'm intersted in how Dale Jr does... tho, I don't expect better than 5th by the end of the year.  Prob a few more wins this year, but I just don't think he'll pull off the championship.
 
Hey guys. I've been listening to Satriani and Malmsteen a lot lately (I prefer Satch). What's your favourite songs?

Satch: The Extremist, If I could Fly, Gnaahh, Flying in a Blue Dream, Crystal Planet, Always With Me, Always With You

Malmsteen: Far Beyond the Sun, Blitzkrieg, You Don't Remember, I'll never forget, Rising Force, Seventh Sign and Black Star
