overheard from courtney
courtney forgot her laptop today, so she's working on a desktop in the main lab room. this is magnificent, because we can hear her cursing & muttering.
9:30A (to computer, in singsong voice): why is this being a bitch?
9:32A: this computer is filthy!
9:37A: oh hi,
*NPR intro comes on loudly*
9:38A: oh, god!
I can't quite tell, as she is keeping the volume respectfully low, but my guess is she is listening to Rave On Buddy Holly, which, unrelated to the topic at hand, is MOST highly recommended, especially track 5.
9:51A, a wonderful tidbit of irony: "katie, do you have any dishes you want to go in the dishwasher?" *peers in katie's office* "oh, nevermind, I guess I'm just talking to myself..."
10A - 12P: lab cleaning spree, sadly devoid of (audible) mutterings.
12:04P: *BANG! DESK RUMBLE!* oh, dear.
12:05P: Courtney is alerted to the existence of today's post. -giggles -more giggles -"well, when you put it that way, I sound crazy" -a nice tri-office giggle.
12:49P: oh, for heaven's sake!
1:24P: oh, you're beautiful, you clean lab.
1:45P: fin. working sans laptop proved impossible.

a note on nutella
a notella, if you will.
this type of fuckery will not abide.
1. knives are dangerous.
2. not a wise dietary decision, trainees. take note: HALF of the calories are from fat. and you KNOW if a utensil was involved, the transgressor was almost certainly not abiding by the recommended serving size.
3. don't eat and data. notice the sun terminal in the background. it's too easy to only half-attend to the task at hand if you're also spooning (or knife-ing) that delicious chocolate-hazelnutty goodness into your half-open, drooling, chocolate-smeared mouth whilst you work. young kellertonites, avoid this all-too-tempting habit from the start!

welcome!
I'd like to give a hearty WELCOME to all the new recruits to the kellerton basketball team.
I know it seems early, but it's NEVER too soon to start training for a successful (and productive!) fall season.
first things:
you should start preparing for your move to the upper valley, if you haven't already. please email katie (katie.powers@dartmouth.edu) if you have ANY questions about housing, or just life in general in our neck of the woods. NB: living with sergey and jim, while an option, is by no means necessary.
advanced pre-season training:
diet: now is a good time to take a critical look at your diet, and ensure that it's really well-suited for MAXIMUM SCIENCE OUTPUT. I've found that greek yoghurt smoothies are a GREAT and ENERGETIC way to start the day. here's a basic recipe to get you started:
1 cup cabot lowfat greek yoghurt - this can be found at BJs, but do not eat mine!!!!
1 cup frozen fruit (I like raspberries and blackberries, but follow your heart!)
a dash of fruit juice or milk - whatever you have!
1 banana
blend until smooth (that's why they call it a SMOOTHie! ha-ha!)
it's a low calorie, protein-full, and refreshing way to start your summer days!
exercise: start thinking about adding some low level cardio (30 minutes 4x a week is recommended for beginners; more advanced scientist-bloggers (hey there, dick!) can start to ramp it up even more). your goal by the end of the summer should be to maintain your maximum heart rate for 45 minutes to an hour. if you have ANY questions about this, please email muffin (jeremy.huckins@dartmouth.edu) with your current and goal aerobic capacity scores, as well as your fronto-parietal network connectivity. in addition, a session or two of resistance training will only HELP YOU when you arrive at dartmouth. don't forget to warm up, and to stretch before and after!
that's all for now, kids - I'll be back later this week for some suggestions on skill training, and to answer ANY questions you have about diet & exercise, moving to the upper valley, katie's coaching style, or how to not be the 1.5 out of the 3 of you that will get kicked out by the end of your first year. remember - we study self-regulation, show us the strength of your self-regulatory muscles. ha-ha!
