081111 Pope AF Gym

In today's Fayetteville Observer:
An 8yr old boy in AZ is charged with shooting his father to death.
2 Monks arrested in Jerusalem for brawling in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

While the 8yrOld boy article is tragic, Ultimate Fighter: Monk Edition?! Awesome. I wanted to post more on it but someone took the paper at work and I never got it back. I do these posts in spurts, you know.

Caps collected at work:
Dr Pepper: 5 (no UWIN).
Coke Caps: 3+5.

I didn't think I was going to get to work out today, as I didn't get to go this morning. I managed to talk Hubby into tryin to get to the Pope Gym with me, when he lost the car keys in the fridge for two hours and could not go while I was at work :D I had tried to go my myself when he was on Staff Duty, but couldn't find it! We called a friend of his to get the wherabouts.

The gym wasn't that bad. In fact it was kinda neat. The weight rooms and the Cardio rooms are seperate, and not only are there a few big TVs on the wall, but there are Screens attached to the treadmills! Each had their own channel volume button (tho I could get no volume and see no headphone jack). I started out out at 5.0, gearing for 15 mins (my calves and feet were killing me from work.) I found the Guide channel by accident, which happened to be scrolling over AMC at the time. "Pearl Harbor": I can do that! Scrolled over to just where the Japanese were starting their attack. My legs and feet adjusted, and watching the attack was strangely motivating, so I completed 25min, @5.2 (after15min), for 2.1mi. (Must not have been enough speed to add real distance.) By the time I completed that 25m the attack was just finishing. Granted there were commercials, but HOLY Cow what a long attack!

I wandered down the hallways trying to find the Weight Room, and found a TreadWall (scrolling Rock Climb wall for a never ending climb!) There's a Family room, with Treads, bikes, Ellips, and some ~Age2 play equip/toys. There is a Massage parlor, Juice Bar, and finally the Weight Room. It turns out there's ONE Tread in the Weight Room, so I could go there if I had my iPod and wanted to watch the Hubby pump some Iron. I do love watching him workout. God he's gorgeous...

I did that til he completed his sets and out we went. We took a nice long drive and finally made it back to the house around 11. We hung out with the Lopezes, trading Tequila Rose shots for Patron Citron shots. No one really liked the Citron, and Hubby didn't drink at all. I got a bit buzzed, which I normally don't like. I managed to make the most of the night.

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t

De Groote Museum

 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
