Seems to only work when setup with heteronormative gender roles. At least this example. You could reverse the roles, but it doesn't seem like you could co-mingle without some serious confusion.

Crime Blotter: Atherton: Ralston Road, 9:10 a.m. Monday A person thought a man doing wind sprints in an orange shirt and dress pants appeared suspicious because of the clothing he was wearing.
Well, when you inject a bunch of cash into the marketplace, the value of the currency becomes less per unit. So a dollar can only buy as much as what 50 cents used to get you. This is what is known as inflation. The stock market appears to be more valuable because the stock prices are higher, but only in units that aren't as valuable anymore.

Looks like we're gonna have a battle early about the future of the internet, man.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Yeah - I thought that was a funny little quote. Like there's any doubt we're going to have a battle about the future of the Internet, or that this is "early", or that we haven't been having that battle since the beginning of the Internet, etc....

I'm trying to avoid reading reviews of the Great Gatsby movie, in the hopes that this will be the first movie I see in a theater in years. But really, who am I kidding?
I don't think the book and the movie have much in common from what I saw. This looks like a Wild Wild West or Mission Impossible treatment. Similar only in name. Then again, I'm not really a Baz L. fan, but I am a Fitzgerald fan.

As Alex says. I've also seen stories where they utilize blood related conditions like sickle cell anemia, or hemophilia, to effect as well.

Isn't vampire blood often considered to be different from human blood?
- Johnny
Yeah, in the True Blood series, certain blood born diseases affect vampires. In the Necroscope series, vampires avoid lepers big time because the disease is devastating to vampires.

Somehow I have become addicted to watching YouTube excerpts of America's Got Talent and the X Factor and shows like that. Apparently there's no shortage of people from random backgrounds that can sing.
Stephen: I know - I consider this a confession. I'm sorry.

Scott - I've seen that one - I'm using the crowd to pick my content, usually watching whichever of the suggested videos has the highest number of views. 33,000,000 viewers can't be wrong, eh?

One slight miscalculation in trajectory or updraft strength and there would be a wall of 'pico de gallo' somewhere near that hole. (This is why I'll never be a daredevil.)

With about 5 different camera angles, it would be a well documented mistake.

Mom comes home later tonight. This evening might be like one of those after school TV shows where everything has to get cleaned up super-fast so she has no idea what happened.

So did you get it cleaned? By which I mean did you shove everything into a disused closet?

I don't think the place looks half bad. If she's aware of the hijinks that occurred while she was gone, she hasn't let onto it yet. The first thing she did when she got home was unpack her suitcase all over the living room. :-)

I was hoping it was like the whole "giant nutmeg sandwich" trend when I was in college, but this actually seems dumber.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I had a friend in college that tried that nutmeg thing and found it REALLY worked on him. We nick-named him "nutmeg" and it stuck.

The other childcare-provider-family-units are away this weekend so I'm taking the weekend off from training to be a dad instead. Achievements already unlocked include going out to dinner, wearing the same thing twice, staying up late, going to the zoo, mac-and-cheese for dinner, and cereal for dessert.
Not a good run this evening. (after spin) I'm having trouble running after other activities. (swimming or biking) The transition is hard and it takes awhile for the lower legs to loosen up. I have something to work on.
Swimming to run/riding is cause all the blood is in your arms and your heart has to readjust to get the blood into your legs. When swimming, I always finish with 50-100m of fierce leg kicking.

Interesting. That's a neat theory that I'll have to try.

IronTeam update: Today's training run was a half marathon and I set a new PR of 2:13 and kept my heartrate way below my last half marathon. :-) http://connect.garmin.com/activit...
Should be more than that, sir. 13 miles is usually above 25,000 steps.
- Louis Gray
Perhaps the steps are off by a factor of 2: The Garmin doesn't directly display the counting of each step, but instead shows the rate so I was back-calculating. My running cadence is pretty steady at 78 - 80 strides per minute which yields 6.68 feet per stride which seems high. (I'm pretty sure about the number of minutes I was out.) So perhaps 20,780 steps?

That's a good question. I assumed he was part of a different group of three but it's been so long that I can't remember who else was in his group.
- Brian Johns
I prefer to assume that most events that occur in serial form follow a pattern that can only metered in groups of ten quintillion occurrences. That way I just don't have to worry about it.

Ironman Tahoe update: 60 mile training ride accomplished (with 30 minute run afterwards) and I feel pretty good. $5,270 raised so far. http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj... Thanks for your kind words and support so far - This thing is happening!
Just found out that one of the people on my Team In Training team is married to professional BMX bike rider Ryan Nyquist. Holy crap! http://www.youtube.com/channel...
"However, residents of the small city 50 miles north of Atlanta can opt out of the measure if they object to gun ownership. In addition, the ordinance also exempts convicted felons and those who suffer from certain physical or mental disabilities. There is no penalty for those who don't comply with the law."

Why exactly would it deter criminals to learn that a small city is run by complete idiots who'll pass a "this is required except that it's not" law?

Ironteam Update: We're just over a third of the way through the season and things are going well. This weekend we're heading down to Lake San Antonio to do the Wildflower half-Ironman course as a practice race. I love Wildflower so I'm really looking forward to this. Fund raising is going really well - I'm at 2/3 of my fundraising goal!...
Yep - I've still got a long way to go, but I think I can do it. I'm thinking about another sushi fundraiser in a month or two, and there are a few more friends I need to shake down.
