Bobby gave +K to all posters on this page - except garnet.  Bobby thinks Garnets K value is appropriate for the services that Garnet provides

[Knightstalker]

Knightstalker agrees with Bobby, Garnets K should stay at its current total.  KS hopes that Garnet will be agreeable to being rewarded +K or being smitted to maintain proper K total.

Being the NYRGYM guy - bobby tried one of those elliptical/glider type machines today.  Stayed on for maybe 10 minutes and determined that it wasn't doing anything for bobby.  Had to shift back to the stair master & treadmill.

Did bobby pull the trigger to early?  Do those things work?

FYI - bobby uses the k sparingly, and tries to claim any +K and smites that bobby dishes out

As much as I hate to distract anyone on this board from the Sirius vs XM vs AM debate, here are my thoughts on the ellipticals:

They are a good alternative to treadmills especially for those of us with knees that suck as bad as school in summertime.

You have to go at a pretty good clip on them to get a workout equivalent to running/stairmastering.

Overall you burn more calories running than ellipsing, so the treadmill and stairstepper are better for you.


If you're the type who likes to kill two flying animals with one hard hurled projectile, you can set up your office like this:



This dude is a doctor at the Mayo clinic who says the key to weightloss is getting vertical. He leaves the treadmill running at 1MPH (so he walks 8 miles in a typical work day) which would burn over 500 calories for a 200 lb person.
Dude claims that it takes about 10 minutes for a new person to get used to working on a treadmill and is working on mass producing them to sell to corporations tired of fat employees.

One company has pre-ordered several hundred of these... +1 K every day for 3 weeks if anyone can guess who that company is.

KR, good to see all is well with you, I guess "NIKE"

Walkingwhileworking.com...the guy works for Lancet Software...see below

It's hot and I'm not.

So what, you say — that's not exactly what you'd call news.

Let's not bicker.

Thomas Niccum, whose software development business (Lancet Software Development) creates websites (several hundred to date), among other things, is the latest convertee to the new religion of walking while working.

He was so inspired by the cult's guru — Dr. James Levine (top) of the Mayo Clinic, a nice, unassuming man who had no idea that by simply doing his clinical research and then reporting it in the medical literature he'd unleash a juggernaut of epic proportions — that not only did he (Thomas) go out and buy himself a treadmill and then fashion a desk around it (below),

2img_1088_ed0

he purchased the domain name walkingwhileworking.com to spread the gospel.

He said it occurred to him while he was musing about the wildly popular site cryingwhileeating.com.

Then he happened on that squidoo.com post here of this past Monday and before you could say Bob's your uncle, he'd created a squidoo lens for walkingwhileworking.

But wait — it gets better.

On day two of its existence (yesterday) the walkingwhileworking lens, which contains everything he's been able to gather about the subject — Dr. Levine's work and links to his papers, links to my posts, Tom's posts, where to buy treadmills and the necessary add–ons, tips on creating your own treadmill–centered office or workspace, photos, any and all related resources, you name it — reached #1,031 in squidoo's ranking of its over 11,000 lenses.

Just now I wandered over there to see what's new and was delighted to see the lens had jumped overnight to #437 — with a bullet.

w00t!

Dr. Levine has graciously agreed to provide a handy jumpstart guide entitled something like "How to build your own walking computer desk with a screwdriver — for $50."

This baby's got legs.

I will state here that my life in all respects has been markedly better since I lifted my lazy butt out of my Hans Wegner peacock chair and started walking on my treadmill while creating bookofjoe, reading, watching TV (you'll see the new audiovisual additions in Version 2.0, currently in beta) and whatnot.

I look for Dr. Levine to be on Oprah in the not–too–distant future, walking with her on side–by–side treadmills while she interviews him.

KR, good to see all is well with you, I guess "NIKE"

Gro was thinking Nike too.

Don't get mad TUX, but I've always thought the linefield cat looked like it was on crack... just an angry crackhead cat with a funny hat. Just so you know RPI's mascot is a big red chicken.

Bobby wins... it's the Pentagon. Apparently they've pre-ordered 100+ for trials.

I'm off to go workout the old-fashioned way.

[JT]

and what is up with all the closet smiters?
Sorry if I cant be all funny and amusing all day like most of you want it.

I Love my calculus.............it says you       +            me                    = US[/b]

Got to be the driveby smiters.  Unlike many other league boards, karma is well earned with "the funny".  One can't just jump in, they don't get the funny.  

The LLPP Shoe get-together is very tempting to JT, but the  NJAC title is usually decided that week.  JT is  planning to hit a 2006 RPI game on the Prof bye(s) week.  JT has thought of an ATR along the lines of "Fan for a Week".... wearing RPI garb... carbombs... tailgating.... pics... story...  etc.

JT wants to promote the d3 atmosphere.

[Knightstalker]

Knightstalker is thinking since he has no football team to follow he might make a trip for shoesapalooza.  KS has pleanty of time to figure out how to sell the idea of the trip to Mrs. Stalker.

[union89]

Since many of the LLPP All-Stars attended the '05 version of the Union/RPI game, shouldn't that be Shoesapalooza I??  The '06 version should be Shoesapalooza II.

Tonight, RT decided to be 'Dawg and pay more attention at the Y and look for some material for PP. RT notices a hot girl doing squats w/ a "What Boyfriend??" tee shirt on...and some skater-lookin dude with an "I Work Out" shirt. Tonight must've been bizzaro shirt night at the Y.....and also, RT seems to belong to the "tattoo-fabulous" YMCA because every dude in there had enough ink to make RT think he was hanging out w/ KS in some dive naval bar in the Philippines. Are spider-web tats on the back of the should hip now? Didn't see much tribal stuff or barb wire...however, a few LA Gang style letterings and funky Lord of the Rings type stuff.....

- Duke of Cleveland

RT,
Have you ever seen anything like this at the gym?

negative...RT has not seen this at said gym

[Senor RedTackle]

It costs BILLIONS of dollars to get these satellite stations up and running.  Much like ANY busiess (with the exception of LLPP Inc.) it takes a MINIMUM of 3+ years to even break even.

Reg brings up a good point....did LL,INC ever name it's CFO? RT is anxiously awaiting the LL,INC annual report to see how our balance sheet looks. RT sees solid earnings growth for said organization based upon solid intellectual capital and a robust demand for the efforts of this think tank. Managment should work a bit on cost containment in the areas of expense but will not hold back on Jamieson, Bailey's, and Guiness expenditures for the 3rd quarter of FY2006.

[Regulator]

U89- Reg thinks you are correct.
Once the threshold from once bitter enemies to Car bomb buddies was crossed, it should have been shoesapalooza I.  It was a revolution....kind of like the "industrial revolution" where even though we should have been choke slamming each other to the ground, we put down our defense mechanisims for 5 mins and realized that we were all, pretty cool dudes.

I would have no problem meeting up with you herbs this year again.

(I hope the stinger doesn't read this)
