    Ph.D Archaeology

    Having a PhD is a significant liability in a bad economy, if companies can chose between a masters level with 4-5 years experience that can do the job vs. a freshly minted PhD with no experience in the field, who do you think they are more likely to select? In an academic setting, with much less...

    Gatorade (I'm refering to the powdered version made with sugar, not HFCS) is one of the original carbohydrate electrolyte drinks, although other products have surpassed it like Powerbar Endurance. It DOES extend endurance by supplying the working muscle with Carbohydrate and ~500mg/liter...

    The fear of turning 40

    I think in terms of Real Age (Biological Age) vs Chronological Age. Take care of yourself, and your later model will outperform a younger model w/ the added wisdom and experience that you possess. High Intensity Aerobic exercise, Strength training, good nutrition, supplements (omega3s...

    Girl Cheats on You, do you beat the guys ass?

    Beating another guys Azz for banging your girlfriend is WEAK game. YOU lost control of the "Frame." Bang the girl in the Backdoor one last time, THEN DUMP HER. The power move is to "WALK AWAY" with no explaination to your ex-gf.

    Egg shake that is tasty

    I'll pass on the even remote potential of salmonella... What 'vital factors' do you get from raw eggs. I am curious what your thinking is? Phospholipids and lecithin perhaps in the egg? All protein is broken down into its relative amino acids anyway; each protien a certain amino acid...

    Egg shake that is tasty

    What about Salmonella with the raw eggs? The low pH of the stomach acid should denature the the protein in the raw egg 'al la cerviche' ? Why not just do a combo of whey (fast acting) and casein protein (slow) instead?

    This Mental Illness thing with women is SCARY

    SolCal Mike: Actually, you are Quite INCORRECT. Your argument is flawed on many levels and takes away (as Colossus pointed out) on the real question that was asked. Personal attacks to long term posters don't assist in the validity of your argument either. BPD is a cluster of...

    ***IRONMAN-Triathalon***

    Hi DevanE, Triathalon is a upper middle class sport, unfortunately. Running or even cycle racing is much cheaper. I agree a decent bike is a sizable investment. At 5'8" you looking to weigh about 145-155 pds to be good. Closer to 145-150. Wanna go fast uphill your looking to be...

    Condom...Ovulation...And a chance of being pregnant.

    So condom didnt break. You are pretty sure nothing leaked out at the base, based on your above account. Even if she was ovulating, you are safe IMHO. I assume she is young, so her the point in her ovulation cycle will actually vary until mid twenties. Some girls miss their period...

    ***IRONMAN-Triathalon***

    Please share that Tri-Training site (a Personal message is fine). I can evaluate whether it is reasonable approach. Training for Tri racing is far from an easy task. Coordinating different workouts throughout the week for 3 different sports is a challenge. Sure you can just run, bike, and...

    ***IRONMAN-Triathalon***

    You describe success 'power sports.' Kudos. Different than endurance sports that require a high aerobic capacity. Be patient and be willing to invest 3-5 years before you really begin to accel. It takes years to get good at endurance sports such as Tri, cycling, or running. You are dealing...
