"Michel Thomas CDs are one of the few collections I recommend. Very, very good. The usual Pimsleur tend to be WAY too slow and repetitive for most brains. His CDs are Pimsleur on steroids."

Weave (BETA 1.0) is a new web-based visualization platform designed to enable visualization of any available data by anyone for any purpose. Weave is an application development platform supporting multiple levels of user proficiency – novice to advanced – as well as the ability to integrate, disseminate and visualize data at “nested” levels of geography.

Weave has been developed at the Institute for Visualization and Perception Research of the University of Massachusetts Lowell in partnership with the Open Indicators Consortium, a nine member national collaborative of public and nonprofit organizations working to improve access to more and higher quality data.

What I told my class was this: Statistically, you’re full of crap.

Marriage isn't just between a man and a woman;
it's between any two people who love each other;
and want to ruin their lives.

I have been using org-mode as my personal information manager for years now. I started small with just the default TODO and DONE keywords. I added small changes to my workflow and over time it evolved into what is described by this document.

[DebuggerDisplay("{DebuggerDisplay,nq}")]
public sealed class Student {
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
private string DebuggerDisplay {
get { return string.Format("Student: {0} {1}", FirstName, LastName); }
}
}

1) Avoid dangerous people and places
2) Don't defend property
3) Respond immediately and escape

I snapped a twig and dropped the halves on the ground about eight inches apart to form targets for my landings.

The 100-Up consists of two parts.

For the “Minor,” you stand with both feet on the targets and your arms cocked in running position. “Now raise one knee to the height of the hip,” George writes, “bring the foot back and down again to its original position, touching the line lightly with the ball of the foot, and repeat with the other leg.”

That’s all there is to it. But it’s not so easy to hit your marks 100 times in a row while maintaining balance and proper knee height.

Once you can, it’s on to the Major: “The body must be balanced on the ball of the foot, the heels being clear of the ground and the head and body being tilted very slightly forward. . . . Now, spring from the toe, bringing the knee to the level of the hip. . . . Repeat with the other leg and continue raising and lowering the legs alternately. This action is exactly that of running.”

Cucuzzella ... loved it. “It makes so much physiological and anatomical sense,” he said. “The key to injury-free running is balance, elasticity, stability in midstance and cadence. You’ve got all four right there.”

And Yudhisthira replied, "The most wondrous thing in the world is that all around us people can be dying and we don't realize it can happen to us."

Looks like they offer the whole spectrum from "pragmatic" all the way out to "total nutjob"
