You sometimes get these feelings in and around your knee and I notice I usually end up wiggling around or unconsciously bending my knees a smidgeon because as soon as they're not locked out, any discomfort seems to dissappear. Of course muscular strength/endurance becomes more important in maintaining that position, it should come with time and maybe some weights at the gymMichaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876669754819986384.post-91976569242695044152012-02-07T11:37:10.621-05:002012-02-07T11:37:10.621-05:00Hi Tom,

Just one correction re/ the extra virgin grade: it is definitely *not* "legally okay to mix it [ie olive oil] with inferior oils extracted with chemicals, and still keep the extra virgin label." Some companies do it, but it's illegal! Extra virgin olive oil is, by law, 100% fresh-squeezed olive juice.<br />All my best,<br />Tom MuellerTom Muellerhttp://www.extravirginity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876669754819986384.post-9829192696265558362012-01-09T21:49:23.039-05:002012-01-09T21:49:23.039-05:00"Be more mindful of the three topics of maste..."Be more mindful of the three topics of mastery, autonomy and purpose for myself and also my co workers." - "This book provides a new framework to look at my own and colleagues behavior, and understand how to continue to improve driving to results." - "Give more thought to motivational aspects of tasks when working with a team." -Eestihttp://talkingpoint2track.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876669754819986384.post-27915334156033618062011-10-09T21:15:07.907-04:002011-10-09T21:15:07.907-04:00I meant that poor financial state can spread syste...I meant that poor financial state can spread systemically across the federal, state and municipal levels, unless we (the majority of people, as voters or consumers) do not become more careful (fiscally conservative), using methods of our choice. "Greece" that can "happen here" is just a metaphor (perhaps too imprecise) for modern bankruptcy at state level. We should be more careful because the alternative, as you can see from examples in the post, plus many others, has unpleasant consequences not always of our choice. How to be more careful is a great question! Thanks for raising it.

I used it for a couple of days and found it vastly superior to my standard knot, but habit crept back in.
