    I started running again

    Unless you are exagerating how long it has been since you have run or are extremely light for a guy (120lbs); starting up with 5-6 miles is a sure way get your knees unhappy again. If the tiredness you are feeling is lung related then intervals is your best bet for VO2 max gains.

    DB has some beer goggles he has been wearing for as many months as the pub has been open. Check with him for a manufacturer. I'll bet you could sell themfor a good profit.

    I have no problem with traffic. I can certainly see why other people would have trouble with their city's level of traffic but if they have trouble with it then they should move closer to their job.

    Amtrak shut down imminent

    My basic issue with the problem as it stands right now is that I'm being asked to fund something that I will not use. It fact, most of the rest of the country is asked to fund something that only a very small percent of the population uses. A basic component of the problem is that people should...

    Maybe your teacher is trying to show you the inadequacies of VB! Whenever I had spend an inordinate amount of time (9.5 hours?) researching a function/problem my teachers would scold me for not having come to them sooner. In the real world you would be able to go to the senior programmer or the...

    What do you consider "next to"? It turns out that there are four nuclear power plants within a 130 mile radius of me. In addition, there is a fuel rod and weapons grade plant within 130 miles. Three of the plants are within 30 miles and one is within ten miles. It didn't bother me when I...

    Wonder of all wonders I've just realized that I've been using a Samsung 48E (SC-148) CD drive for a week. The only thing I've done with it is listen to CDs. I've played 15 different CDs on it, all factory pressed, and it only had trouble with one. I don't really know what the problem is. It...

    I can understand if no one wants to buy from me at market price; everyone is looking for a deal. But could someone help me figure out what market price is. I only accept payment in fruit if the fruit can be used to fold proteins.

    It'll never be the same with out Moonie. I really wish I could have been able to see a Who show live at the height of their fury.
