    • Why only ONE dumbbell when I'm squatting two of them? I'm sorry but this doesn't make sense. Is the system programmed to know the difference? It knows on Squats, the lb is doubled, but not on curls? Why do that? I doubt it does. Let's test. I did one bodyweight set, and three with two 5lb dumbbel
  • Barbell Squat:
    • 10 lb x 10 reps (+6 pts)

  • Barbell Deadlift:
    • 10 lb x 5 reps (+6 pts)
    • My knee pops. Maybe I'm doing it wrong? /videos.

Ok, so, I learned: The points are doubled when the weight is doubled (on squat). Still... if I'm holding the dumbbells in line like a bar, simply because I don't have a bar, why input only HALF the weight I'm squatting? Comments?

PS: My 5k is this Saturday! SO EXCITED!
We signed Hubby up too. Though we're both signed up for the "Competitive Co-Ed 5k" they only list corrals by gender 45 minutes apart. I hope they're not going to be silly about it. If I have to I'll have one of us ditch the timing chip to run in the other corral. If someone wants to get butthurt over it, they're taking a 5k tooooo seriously.
Can I play too Momma?

School, Geekery, and Science!

Woops! I did not notice that my posts were getting stuck in "draft"! Here's what been published late: 20120805-11 Curiosity and News . News: KY Evolution, Medieval Germanic War . In Life: Img Src School has started again and I've got four classes, Organic Chemistry I, Genetics, Introduction for Teaching, and Introduction to Technology for Educators. For those of you of my generation let me emphasize that the latter is "intro to, technology for educators" and not "intro to technology, for educators". If you don't know the difference: instead of teaching me "Intro to Tech" (typing, how to use word, excel, etc, all that jazz) I'll be learning the programs that educators tend to use nowadays to organize students' grades, build digital classrooms, work through how the law pertaining to teaching interacts with the law pertaining to technology, etc. I'll be keeping two blogs for the class and uploading my final projec...

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...
