bout
the unsanctioned race
rule

"as some of you might remember from last year, the amgen tour of california puts on a cute little time trial for the ladies. it’s not much, but hopefully enough to keep them quiet during the men’s race. with the downfall of the exergy tour, it would have been nice to see the atoc, with their broadcast contract revenues, and deep-pocketed sponsors who have profited like no others from cycling’s doping problem, do a little bit more to help the women’s peloton, both international and domestic, but what can you do?"

“I heard police or ambulancemen, standing in our house, say, “She must have provoked him,” or, “Mrs Stewart, it takes two to make a fight.” They had no idea. The truth is my mother did nothing to deserve the violence she endured. She did not provoke my father, and even if she had, violence is an unacceptable way of dealing with conflict. Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.”-Patrick Stewart
Thank you, Mr. Stewart.

Draw some random points on a piece of paper and join them up to make a random polygon. Find all the midpoints and connecting them up to give a new shape, and repeat. The resulting shape will get smaller and smaller, and will tend towards an ellipse! [code] [more] [bigger version]
Dear Unthinkable Mind Class,
This looks like a picture of how a cohesive idea slowly makes itself present. It reminds me of how memories prompted by any random word will always generate a story once we focus on them.

There is nothing sadder than a person whose only idea of fun is “relaxing.”

“Optimal experience… is something we MAKE happen.” Go out there and get it!
I am lazy tired from training so much, so instead of writing up my own blurb, I’m going to just adopt everything Ian says here.
This Saturday, 40 businesses will be donating 10% of all their sales (in-person and online) to a great cause: the Sanctuary Century, which will raise $20,000 for three different animal sanctuaries. You buy stuff from these folks on Saturday, and 10% of what you spend goes to help animals. Awesome,…

Well done, Brooklyn. I would love to see something like this in the Bay Area.
Brooklyn Bike Patrol on a roll after attacks on women: A volunteer escort home from the subway along dark streets is a phone call away — no charge, no tips. Business is brisk.
On Halloween, Ruiz escorted two women — one dressed as a box of cookies, the other as a milk carton — who felt vulnerable because their costumes limited their arm movements. Many of his regulars, who are listed in his phone by their first names and their usual subway stations, are waitresses who work late and who don’t want to spend $20 or so for a cab ride home.
Nice job, Brooklyn.
