I made a Facebook page for this. https://www.facebook.com/EmpiresOfSteelAndSteam
Update 9/17/12
-Finished typing up most of the rules, and can post a rough draft here sometime soon if anyone is interested.
-Finished layout/ template for technology cards (pics in my post on page 5)
-Finished emblems for 3 of the 8 factions
I've decided on how the game will end also. There will be a separate score board that will show which level each faction's civilization is at. The levels begin at 1 and go up to 7 or 8 (I haven't decided yet). Each level unlocks the ability for each faction to produce new types of units, as well as automatically upgrading their passive Capitol City Technology cards that they have equipped. Each level will also provide the population cap for a faction. The next level is reached by meeting the prerequisites (usually owning so many buildings) and by spending a certain amount of wealth. Below is what I have worked out so far for what happens at each level of civilization:
I: Starting level--able to build government buildings, factories, and power plants. Able to recruit type 1 and type 2 infantry.
II: Able to build transit stations, enabling trade agreements and treaties with other factions who have transit stations. Able to recruit type 1 mechanized units.
III: Able to recruit type 2 mechanized units and type 1 flying units.
IV: Able to recruit type 2 flying units.
V: Able to construct your faction's ultimate unit.
VII: Win the game.
Capitol utility technologies automatically upgrade at levels I, III, and V.
See the post on page 5 for more pics/ info.
Update 5/3/12
I finished the format for the political sheets. They'll be printed 4x11 inches, and fit nicely next to the 4"x4" faction sheets. Here's the first finished system:
The blue gear (not final emblem, most likely) shows that it is a benevolent system (certain event cards may only target benevolent/ neutral/ oppressive political systems, etc.).
The left-most panel shows the resource production for each building type, as well as the number up upgrade cards that player may "seed" the top of their research deck with at the start of the game.
The Center panel shows what special abilities that system offers; blue are passive, always active abilities that never have a resource cost, green will be abilities that may be activated as often as a player pays their cost, and red abilities may only be activated once per game round, and usually have a steep resource cost.
The right half of the sheet is devoted to population pools--Research, Production and Military. The blue number in research shows that a player may draw 1 upgrade card for every 4 population he has allocated to that pool, and may buy one of the drawn cards for every 6 population. The production pool determines how many buildings and non-infantry military units the player may build each turn--in this case, he gets one production for each 6 population in that pool, times the number of factories he owns. Players allocate population to their military pools in order to transform them into military units next round. A player without anyone in the Military pool will be unable to produce military units the next round.
I've also decided after all to go with a variable hex board setup, rather than a static board with hex spaces. I like the ability to have a completely different map every game. Also, certain abilities (like the Nautilite's Deluge Engine, which permanently changes a hex on the board into a water hex) are made much easier by being able to swap tiles out mid-game. I'm also planning on having some "special" tiles that might not be in every game, but wherever they do appear, they will be hotly contested territories due to their unique abilities (the Aether Anomaly basically gives it's owner control of a mobile "Aether Storm", which can be used to hinder opponents' resource production as well as function like a sort of jump gate to units traveling through the anomaly.).
Also, here's the final roster for factions/ political systems:
The Avatars of Mechana
The Blackcloud Armada
The Coven
The College
The Human Federation
The Mumaalma Shards
The Nautilite Coalition
The Prometheans
Political Systems
Unified Mind
Old info:
I've got many of the mechanics worked out already, but I'm still finishing up all the rules. I still have to design all the cards and technologies and whatnot.
Here's an ugly picture of my prototype board:
The plain green is normal terrain, blue is water (obviously), muddy green is marsh, purple butt-holes are mountains, and the grey cities are possible starting locations for players.
I'm planning on having the terrain further divided into groups of 4-9 hex "countries". This map is purely for play-testing (I promise I'm actually pretty decent at art and design).
Basically, there are a bunch of different civilizations, each with different bonuses and detriments. There are also a handful of political systems to choose from at the beginning (and possibly in the middle of the game if you are forced to deal with an uprising). Not every civ can use every political system; for instance, the automaton race can only choose between technocracy and totalitarian, the coven may choose either tribal, technocracy, or theocracy, the pirates can use anarchy, tribal, or monarchy, etc.
There are three main "resources" in the game: wealth, population, and power. Wealth is generated by hexes in which you have population stationed ("working") or by government buildings, population is generated based on how many countries you control, as well as a minor boost from every transportation depot you own, and power is generated only at power plants.
You spend wealth to upgrade technology and gain new types of weapons and gadgets for your civ, as well as to build structures, only one type of which can be on any given hex.
Population is allocated each turn to a few different pools: the more population you have in your research pool, the faster you'll generate new tech and the more control you'll have over which techs you generate, the more you have allocated to industry, the more non-infantry units your warehouses will be able to generate and the more buildings you can build each turn. Population can also be stationed in hexes to cause them to generate wealth, or they can be spent/turned into military units, usually with a cost of wealth and/or power additionally.
Power is spent to keep your buildings operational, as well as to create higher-tech units and to power certain abilities on said units or on event cards.
Each player begins the game with their capitol building on one of the city hexes, and in control of the surrounding country (note: countries have not yet been defined on the above board). On future turns they may build the following buildings:
Government buildings--generate bonus wealth and increase the loyalty of surrounding territories. Additionally, if a player's capitol is ever overtaken, she may relocate it to any government building at a cost.
Transportation depots--provide fast travel to all other depots you or your allies control.
Power plants--generate power. 'Nuff said.
Factories--produce non-infantry military units, and a couple other things.
Anyway, I'll update with more info on the actual rules and such if anyone is interested later. What do you think thus far?

Data integration can be as simple or complex as an organization demands. It can move data from a source to a target or it can transform data according to established standards its all contingent upon enterprise requirements. Successful data integration projects will ultimately allow data to be accessed, profiled, enriched, de-duplicated and consolidated to provide a single view of customers, products or operations.
With a plethora of data integration strategies to choose from, many organizations automatically look to ETL (extract-transform-load) for the go to data integration tool. While being the most common approach, ETL may not be the best one for a specific business. There are numerous data integration options available today, including data federation, ELT (also known as in-database or SQL push-downs) and real-time data integration.

ad courtesy Al and Susie Fister
Most Memphians "of a certain age" surely remember Al's Golfdom or Al's Golfhaven. Though they started out as fairly basic miniature golf courses, they quickly evolved into full-scale entertainment complexes. And they were, quite simply, some of the best places in Memphis to hang out.
In 1960, Al and Susie Fister opened Al's Golfdom on Perkins, just south of the expressway. Five years later, they opened Al's Golfhaven, on Raines Road and I-55. Both featured a pair of miniature golf courses and a really nice (and long) driving range. But then Al and Susie added giant slides, and baseball batting cages, and concession stands, and go-karts, and other amusements.
During the winter, when it was too cold to play miniature golf, the Fisters turned their parking lots into Al's Christmas Forest, as you can see from this newspaper ad from the 1980s. If you bought a tree, you got a free bucket of balls for the driving range. And look, they sold trees that were 12 feet tall! For a while, Al and Susie also sold Christmas trees in the parking lot of the shopping center at Perkins and Quince.
I told the whole story of Al's Golfdom and Al's Golfhaven in the October 2010 issue of Memphis magazine. But I was wondering: How many of you remember buying your Christmas trees from Al's Christmas Forest?

Thanks so much to Dr. Dean Brandon for being my guest on Doctor Anonymous Show 143. We had a great conversation about his early influences which guided him toward his career as a pediatric dentist. I had no idea that his parents were NASA scientists. We also talked about the training process behind becoming a pediatric dentist. (Why the picture of Steve Martin above from Little Shop of Horrors? Check out the opening song of Show 143 and you'll know why)
His website is called "Pediatric Dentistry" and we talked about how his posts are a reflection of what he tells parents and patients all the time about certain dental conditions. One of his posts called "My Child Tooth Is Turning Dark" has garnered over 100 comments.
Finally, we discussed some of the experiences he has had in the social media sphere including meeting up with internet celebrities like Gary Vaynerchuk and Chad Vader - and also an interesting story about meeting up with actor Anthony Edwards at BlogWorld Expo last year.
As always, you can listen to the show on the player above. Or, if you like, you can download the show and listen anytime by clicking here. Thanks to everyone who listened live (especially Jabulani who listened to the show live at 2am in England) and those who have/will listen on the archives. My next show will be Saturday, February 6th at 9pm Eastern Time. Hope to see you for Doctor Anonymous Show 144 this weekend! (also check out my video post below)

Jon, I had made some contacts with GM Canada when I was working for a Chev/Olds dealership in Toronto in fact Mo Carter was the general manager there before he acquired his own dealership in Hamilton .............. Anyway my GM contacts were able to help me out in a somewhat limited way with whatever they could. However I have heard rumors of GM engineers handing out small parts like carburetor jets axle shafts and such at the track but they never approached me with any goodies but I do remember Mark Donohue burning out his ignition wiring harness at Mid Ohio and would you believe I was the only one at the track with a spare harness. I was expecting Roger to come over to pick it up but he used Mark Schwein as an intermediary instead........Come to think of it I never got paid for that part.

Get a load of these 5 scariest movie clowns
What's scarier on Halloween than a menacing clown?
Who hasn't been scared by a clown at some point? For me, it was at age 4, when some well-meaning family friend took me to a parade in Fredonia, N.Y. As I sat on the curb noshing on popcorn, I was treated to a dose of pants-wetting terror by the grisly, grease-painted visage of a clown who had stopped to "entertain" me.
I love circus clowns, as long as I'm several rows back. Their acrobatics and antics are hilarious, from a safe distance. No front-row seats for me, thanks.
Savvy horror movie makers have known for years that evil clowns make for boffo viewership. Put an ax in the hand of a guy with an Emmett Kelley makeup job and you're guaranteed to fill seats.
In this article, we'll look at five of the most bloodthirsty, terrifying and nightmare-inducing clowns in movie history. Coulrophobics, advance at your own risk!
Our first suspects aren't just any clowns: they're out of this world ...
No. 5: Alien Klowns from "Killer Klowns From Outer Space"
"Killer Klowns From Outer Space" is nobody's idea of great cinema. The special effects are laughable, the monsters painfully obvious and the heroes and victims of the tale so clueless that you find yourself believing they almost deserve their fates.
But those fates, my friends, are the stuff of many sleepless nights. Ever wondered what it might be like to be cocooned in cotton candy? What if that cotton candy slowly dissolved your flesh? How about a circus tent containing horrors beyond earthly ken?
The heroes of our tale mount their counterattack using an ice cream truck, which is one of the only vehicles scarier than a clown if you lived in the right neighborhood.
I can safely guarantee that you will never, ever laugh when you see someone get nailed in the face with a cream pie in quite the same way again after you've seen this movie.
Next up on our grease-paint smeared countdown? An inanimate clown that comes to life with real spirit ...
No. 4: Clown Doll from "Poltergeist"
Was there ever a scarier haunted house movie than "Poltergeist?" If you grew up in the '80s, the answer is very likely a head-under-the-covers "No."
Face it, this is movie that gave an entire generation sleepless nights.
You just have to wonder how many parents threw out their kids' clown dolls after watching the scenes in which the creepy movie doll, possessed by the house's evil spirits, tries to feed Carol Ann and her brother to the boogeymen.
Steven Spielberg needs to get back to horror. In case you forgot, he's the guy who wrote "Poltergeist," turning his soft, fuzzy understanding of family dynamics into a harrowing trip the dark side. In this twisted world, that thing under the bed just might wear a clown suit and be trying to drag you to hell.
Our next clown may be less familiar, but far more bloody ...
No. 3: Captain Spaulding
You kind of have to wonder what studio head in his or her right mind would finance a movie made by someone named Rob Zombie. Some of you might even watch his two tours de force, "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects," and still wonder.
But Captain Spaulding, evil clown and patriarch of the Firefly family, whose twisted, perverted, homicidal denizens populate both movies, is worth the DVD rental fee by himself. He's an evil clown who gets stabby when people disrespect clowns, giving him a bizarre "defender of the faith" vibe that somehow makes him even creepier.
"House of 1000 Corpses" is really the good captain's best show, with his Museum of Monsters and Madness tourist attraction proving the drawing card for a pack of victims, er, tourists whose readiness for slaughter is exceeded only by their ability to scream for what sounds like minutes on end without pausing for breath.
It's not great filmmaking by any stretch, but Captain Spaulding is a great evil clown.
But even Spaulding pales in comparison to our penultimate jester ...
No. 2: The Joker
I really argued with myself about putting Patch Adams on this list. Anyone who's seen Robin Williams inhabit that character knows its soul-destroying power.
But I had to go with The Joker. Whether you prefer the "Jack Nicholson as The Joker" version or Heath Ledger's immersive performance in "The Dark Knight," Batman's greatest nemesis sets the standard for supervillains with panache.
The Joker, as played by Ledger, pulls off the brilliant trick of sucking us into the old saw about clowns having a tortured childhood only to mock it and spin different versions of it, making us wonder if he's "so serious" at all or simply delivering another killing joke.
But it's Nicholson's Joker who inhabits the evil clown mantle best, with his snazzy purple duds and Jack's manic, 1,000-watt personality shining through the clown makeup. You can easily see that you'd be laughing right until he jammed the stiletto painted like a candy cane through your throat.
But, The Joker doesn't float ...
No. 1: Pennywise from Stephen King's "It"
For those who read Stephen King's "It," a novel that seemed giant at the time but which pales compared to his more recent doorstop-sized works, Pennywise the Clown was a metaphysical evil, linked to another dimension and somehow ephemeral and solidly menacing at the same time.
Scary enough, right?
Then came Tim Curry, cast as Pennywise in the miniseries (hey, it's LIKE a movie) version of the book, and all bets were off.
Those of us who only knew him as Dr. Frankenfurter of "Rocky Horror Picture Show" fame were treated to a whole new side, where Frank's sly come-ons gained a razor's edge, beckoning children to come down to the sewer, saying "We all float down here."
I haven't been able to walk by a storm sewer opening since then without simultaneously looking down and stepping sideways, and just the sight of a kid playing with a paper boat in flood water can make me catatonic with fear. Pennywise is the baddest of the bad.

Hello Lynn
Oh it is so beautiful in it's simplicity - without words yet it portrays the whole meaning of Christmas.
I feel like you, I don't want to see snowmen or hear modern Christmas songs.

I'm your newest follower and I would love you to pop over and say hello sometime.
Christmas Blessings to you and your family.

I'm not sure when it struck me, but sometime within the first 30 minutes of paddling and floating around Lake Heron, make that Lake Hudson, I realized what a neat place Lake Heron, er Hudson, Recreation Area is.
June 9 was a hot Saturday. I had left my wife Brenda, her sisters Bonnie Zenk and Beth Fetzer, planting flowers with their mother Joan Waldron at the family farm on Sand Creek Highway.
I had helped pull weeds earlier, and the women had the planting under control. My two cents definitely wouldn't be needed in deciding what went where and the physically tough part of the job was done. On the trip down to Lenawee County from Ludington I had put my 17-foot Old Town Nantucket kayak on top of the truck thinking I might explore Lake Hudson again. It's been almost 20 years since Brenda and I and our daughters moved from Morenci to Ludington.
I remember writing in a farewell column in the Hillsdale Daily News, where I worked for about 18 months after a five-year stint at the Morenci Observer, that I was trading seas of soybeans and corn for beaches of sand and the blue water of Lake Michigan.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Reworked: Upgrades make Orange Craftsman glow
Address: 16487 Constitution Highway
Neighborhood: Spotswood in Orange County
Asking: $650,000
Assessment: $247,500
Year Built: 1948
Size: 2,300 finished square feet, 250 unfin.
Land: 3.15 acres
Agent: Sharon Donovan, 434-981-7200, Frank Hardy Inc. Realtors
Curb Appeal: 8 out of 10
The first thing buyers will notice about this Orange County Craftsman-style house is the difference between the assessed value and the asking price.
The tax record notes that the dwelling is "in poor condition in 03, still remodeling." But much has happened since 2003. Over the seven years, the owners have made some major upgrades and updates inside and out to help explain the eye-popping asking price.
Throughout are elements that enhance the home's original look and function. For instance, the built-in dining room cabinet has lighting within and deep roll-out drawers for convenient access to extra dishes. On a narrow cupboard in the bathroom, the door folds out so as not to bump the sink and an outlet installed inside the cupboard accommodates a hairdryer. The original sky-blue tile on the bathroom walls remains, and a waterfall shower, new heated floor tile, and a warming towel bar don't overpower the original vibe. All in all, these details make life in an older house smarter while maintaining the '40s charm.
Some clever new upgrades fit so well that they seem like they've always been part of the house. In the living room, an intricate tray ceiling with stained glass and mahogany detailing fits the Craftsman style and adds gravitas to the living room. Tumbled Carrera marble fireplace, illuminated shelving, and a 119-inch retractable theater screen with five-way surround sound don't hurt either. In the dining area, a pyramid skylight is architectural and adds light.
Many original details remain, from the redwood trim and doors with Deco brass handles to a dual laundry chute that allows the washerwoman to separate whites and colors. Other details have been repurposed. A grindstone from the property is now a part of the patio. Where possible, the owners used stone quarried from the property.
Another characteristic of the style are the vistas from inside and out. In the living room, the expanse of windows cleverly hides the top or bottom of the view and gives visitors the feeling of being in the canopy. In the kitchen, buyers get a similar view of the backyard and pond. As with most homes of this style, the bedrooms are small, private spaces while most of life happens in the larger, shared living spaces. If not large, each of the three bedrooms is bright with multiple windows.
The small finished basement houses frontloading washer and dryer and an extra fridge. A corrugated metal ceiling gives an industrial feel and function (the plumbing is easily accessed). Removable walls divide the room; the current owner uses the small side space as a sound studio, but it could be a very private office, storage area, or the walls could be easily removed to restore the room to its original size. A second full bath is another addition.
Outside, the upgrades continue. A dry pond bed was refilled and stocked with four species of fish that share space with a few big turtles and the occasional (live) grey, blue, or green heron while a fountain in the pond lights two heron statues. Fruit trees (peaches, apples, cherries, pears) and berry bushes are well established, and the barn is new.
This property is really for nature lovers looking for a retreat from the city who don't mind a commute. It's a smart house layered with light.

How different is it to get behind the wheel of a racecar, compared to that modded Evo (or whatever) in your driveway?
On this episode of Shakedown, Leo Parente goes to the SimRaceway Performance Driving Center at Infineon Raceway to test their SRW-F3 race car on racing slicks. The 1,030-lb race car's built by Lola, has a full carbon tub, and gets power from a modified version of Mitsubishi's 2.0 liter, turbocharged 4G63 engine (out of the Evo) producing 300 hp and 370 lb ft of torque. So, what's it like to drive a car with the power-to-weight ratio of a Bugatti Veyron, 3G cornering, and 1,500 lbs of downforce?

Hello mathematicians,
i'm looking for explicit computations of expressions like
\sum_{\substack{0\leq i,j,k<n\\i\neq j\neq k \neq i}}\zeta_n^{ip^{k_1}+jp^{k_2}+kp^{k_3}}
and its generalizations, where $p$ is a prime, $n$ an integer (not assumed prime with $p$) and $\zeta_n$ is a primitive $n$-th root of the unity, and the sum is over all distinct $i,j,k$ from $0$ to $n-1$.
The above expression is also, up to a factor, equal to the Schur polynomial $s_\lambda$ (of algebraic combinatoric fame) with partition $\lambda=(p^{k_1},p^{k_2},p^{k_3})$ evaluated in $1,\zeta_n,\zeta_n^2,\dots,\zeta_n^{n-1}$.(this is not true, but as was pointed out by Emmanuel the above sum is rather a monomial symmetric function $m_\lambda$)
While i just need the expression for small sums (up to $3$ or $4$ terms) which can also be easily worked out by hand (writing the sum without the condition $i\neq j\neq k\neq i$ and using inclusion-exclusion on the set of indices such that $i=j$, $i=k$, etc), i'm almost sure that this computation has been done before and that it i may just refer to some (more or less) well known result. Thanks for your attention!

The Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network (CTSN), whose Data and Clinical Coordinating Center is at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is reporting for the first time evidence on whether or not there is any significant difference between the two current surgical approaches to treat patients with severe ischemic mitral regurgitation — mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement.
The findings presented on November 18 at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2013 and published simultaneously by the New England Journal of Medicine, report similar clinical outcomes one-year following mitral valve surgery for both surgical approaches. Although patient clinical outcomes were similar, mitral valve replacement was shown to be more durable than repair.
"Ischemic mitral regurgitation is an important public health problem affecting as many as two million Americans. Our study is the first definitive clinical trial to address the relative merits of mitral valve repair versus mitral valve replacement surgery in patients suffering from severe ischemic mitral regurgitation," says Annetine C. Gelijns, PhD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Health Evidence and Policy at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, who is the corresponding author for the NEJM study and principal investigator for the Data and Clinical Coordinating Center based at Mount Sinai for the NIH-sponsored Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network (CTSN) which conducted the clinical trial study.
Ischemic mitral regurgitation occurs when blood backflows into the left atrium from the left ventricle of the heart due to improper closure of the mitral valve. The condition often develops as a complication from a heart attack and subsequent enlargement of the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber. If not surgically corrected, the condition has been reported to potentially have a one-year mortality risk as high as 40 percent.
Currently, practice guidelines recommend valve repair or replacement for severe ischemic mitral regurgitation. However, lack of evidence has led to uncertainty and variation in surgical practice, although surgeons' use of repair has increased over time.
Previous research has shown mitral valve repair has lower operative mortality and complications, while mitral valve replacement may provide better long-term correction of mitral regurgitation.
"These results may impact the surgical care of patients experiencing severe ischemic mitral regurgitation and offer the strongest evidence to date to inform future surgical practice guidelines," says Michael K. Parides, PhD, Professor of Biostatistics in the Department of Health Evidence and Policy at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the principal statistician for the CTSN.
This multicenter, randomized clinical trial included 22 clinical centers in North America randomizing 251 patients. It evaluated the safety and effectiveness of mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement in patients with severe ischemic mitral regurgitation. Comparative effectiveness was based on the degree of left ventricular remodeling, mortality, adverse events, recurrent mitral regurgitation, hospitalizations, and quality of life one-year after surgery.
"While our study results clearly demonstrate that patient outcomes with replacement and repair are similar one-year after surgery, our ongoing patient follow-up is extremely important, as it will reveal any consequences for patients whose mitral regurgitation has recurred," says Alan J.

The thing about time? She marches on. And she does not care to wait up for you.
|That's what 18 years of bliss'll do to you.
We drank beer and ate popped corn and watched baseball and then we walked home . . .
What? Sometimes I call do Mistah MF.
|That's what 18 years of bliss'll do to you.
Wow. You and Mistah look the same as in your photos. Must be the air out there or something.
Awwww, how stinking adorable are the two of you? very.
Happy Anniversary, here's to eternal bliss.
It's like time stood still..
Happy Anniversary!!
18 years? Impressive!
It will be 2027 when I reach 18 years, and I'll be, well, still in my 50s, but barely.
Hopefully we'll look as good, and happy as you two when the time arrives :-)
xo, and congrats!
Eighteen blissful years. I remember it like I was a child. Hell, I was a child! That was 12 years ago...almost 13. Let me tell you from experience; if you keep it up at the same pace, you'll catch up with us. And 30 years of marital bliss? Blissful!
I love anniversaries. Wine and love. Perfect.
I love your love.
Happy anniversary! You two are so cute together!

Nonetheless Easter is celebrated here with 5 days off for just about everyone. This has meant time for playing with the family, planning our move to Colorado and training. In terms of training, I am already tapering for Fyr til Fyr (Lighthouse to Lighthouse) 60km along the coast of Bornholm next weekend. So the focus of the past week has been on some speed and not on distance (glad I have a coach who can make this decision for me). I should also point out that I am no longer cycling as that now seems to have been the source of the problems in my right leg and hip. I guess cycling so much on a bike that was slightly too big for me had its consequences.
Here was the past week:
Sun: 10k (Griseløbet) in 41.15 + Bikram Yoga
Mon: Mave, baller, lår + 30min elliptical + my own Crossfit
|Trying out all of my equipment for Fyr til Fyr 60k, which is self-supported except one aid station at 30k.
Wed: 4km easy, Bikram Yoga
Thurs: 10.2 km on snowy trails (42:09) (Skærtorsdagsløb) (SR ran, too, in 37:09)
|What's this? Have I seriously learnt pose running form? btw "learnt" is just as correct as learned, I have learned :o).
|we won paper towels at Skærtorsdagsløb
Sat: 15km in 1:12 on trails
Sun: CX worx, pulse, Bikram Yoga (next to Michelle Vesterby-- the proefssional triathlete!! whoah)
Mon: Strenth & core, warm-up, 4 x 1000 on the track with SR in 3:45, 3:51, 3:45, 3:46 (this earned me a "good job" from SR at the end :o)). My fastest ever 1000 meter intervals. Btw (according to my Garmin 1km in 3:33 - but I KNOW it doesn't count. Just saying...).
|after intrevals today on our home track
|I hope I never take my runs with SR for granted.
Moving to Colorado
Here is where I need the help of you readers. SR and I are planning on a temporary move to Colorado while we apply for future residency/fellowship spots and I finish writing for my PhD. We are looking for a short term rental- and right now we're deciding between Fort Collins, Boulder, Loveland, Woodland Park and Crystal Lakes. The latter is a secluded community in the mountains with very reasonably priced cabins and hundreds of miles of running and cycling trails. (I just learned about). Do any of you have thoughts on where we should make our temporary home?
|It wouldn't be too terrible to live here in Crystal Lakes (from imgur.com)
It should be noted that we are still looking to buy a place (let's call it the Hard Rock Chalet) with Alicia and Divesh where we can rent out to friends wanting an adventurous mountain vacation. We'll have guided trail runs, bike rides, etc. This is going to take a while to get up and running, though - so be patient!
Running with Sunglasses
Doing the Ultra-Eye Study had an unexpected benefit for me. After reading so many peoples' experiences, I started doing all of my running with sunglasses. I had previously had this perpetual rash around my eyes and irritated conjunctiva. My patients and colleagues (in the Ophthalmology Dept, of course) nearly daily asked me "What's wrong with your eyes?" Anyway, it is now very clear it was environmental irritation while running that was causing it. If you suffer from similar problems, you might want to give sunglasses or non-tinted glasses a try.
Easter in Næstved
|Thanks again for the hat, Olga
