I'm going to have five to six hours to kill on Saturday morning. Any suggestions for where I should hike that'll take about three hours to complete?
Is like to do Camelback but the website warns that it gets intense.
as 480 said, camelback is do-able in that time and there are usually lots of hot babes. another good one is the gateway loop at the mcdowell sonoran preserve off thompson peak parkway in north scottsdale.
if you're in metro phoenix, the phoenix mountains preserve has lots of options, esp. from dreamy draw. the circumference trail (302) in the phoenix mountains is a good one, the trailhead at lincoln and 32nd st is also good (trail 8). i stay away from the squaw peak summit trail. lots of dooshbags.
all in all i think camelback and the gateway loop have better views. stay away from the papago in tempe. lots of trashballs and homeless people. it's a mess now.
and wherever you go, watch out for bees. they're back.

And living in and around masses of violent crime. Also frick sitting in traffic for hours a day.
where i live, most of the poors live in the suburbs (and commit crimes there) because they can't afford to live in the downtown/uptown area or the exclusive suburbs close to town. and it takes them an hour plus to drive to work.

You can't compare anyone who competes in serious races to a recreational golfer. 90% of golfers don't enter tournaments. Same as most cyclists don't enter serious races
and anybody who is racing (and i mean racing, not doing gran fondo t-shirt rides) is NOT racing on a 10,000 dollar bike. or they're freaking nuts. "buy the most expensive bike you can afford to replace" isn't an axiom of racing for no reason. crashes happen.
that said, there are million-dollar freds who will sink that amount of money into bikes and consistently get dropped on group rides. and triathletes who buy cervelo P5s and still can't finish middle of pack in their age groups. but who cares in the end, right? if you can afford it, spend away on bikes or golf clubs or whatever. you can't take it with you.
apart from some of the reasons already mentioned (lack of outside support, lack of arms, and a lack of knowledge about precisely where they were going), typically jews had accommodated gentiles and relied on the authorities to protect them from pogroms and other forms of popular anti-semitism. in the case of the holocaust, it was the authorities themselves who were doing the persecuting (of course, with plenty of help from individuals in germany and the german east).
but even then there were uprisings in berlin (the rosenstrasse protests), and in the warsaw, lvov and bialystock ghettos. and there were uprisings in the camps themselves. there were several revolts by sonderkommandos in auchwitz and sobibor, where they blew up one of the crematoriums and killed ss men. that's to say nothing of the jews who were parts of underground resistance movements against the nazis.

broke, i have a great idea.
You obviously can't name names, but you should make a point in class.
"So, as a point of reference, I discovered a clear case of plagiarism while grading this round of papers. The accused party has been given a zero on the assignment and reported to the dean of students. Ample evidence was provided to the dean and the student will now have an opportunity to defend him- or herself against the accusations. I wish them luck."
He will then sit there hoping that everyone doesn't find out.
he shouldn't have to do that in the first place. if he has a section in the syllabus on academic integrity and plagiarism, including what it is, how to avoid it, and clearly spelled out penalties there is no need to address it in class. and there is no appeal from a student who claims s/he didn't know, or feels the penalty is unduly harsh. it also gives you some leverage in your interaction with the student - if they ask for sympathy because their dog died or some shite, you can simply say it's policy and you can't change it. but if it's not an egregious case of plagiarism you can dole out a lesser penalty. but my general advice would be: CYA. put that shite in the syllabus.

there is absolutely NO WAY HR alone can tell you anything about calories burned.
there are about a billion variables here.
one of which is the application the OP plugs his HRM data into.
on a ride i did a few weeks ago, strava said i'd burned 4000 calories and garmin connect said i'd burned 950. same height, weight, max HR data in both applications but that's a WIDE range.

I'm assuming I should ask professors who I've already taken as opposed to ones I'm currently taking. Does it really matter?
Yes, ask for letters from profs who you've taken multiple courses with; the ones who actually know who you are and are familiar with your work. That will allow them to personalize the letter. If you ask for letters from profs who don't know you very well, you can expect a generic, unremarkable letter - IF the prof remembers to write it and submit it by the due date.
There is also a culture of hyperbole when it comes to these things, and a prof who doesn't know you isn't going to put his/her name on the line for somebody they don't know. And even if you aren't applying to Harvard, these letters are still read carefully, esp. if you're applying for funding like an assistantship or fellowship.

I try to run with my wife, but she stops running too easily. As soon as she starts breathing heavy, she stops. I tell her that she can keep running but she just says its too hard. I always tell her that if you can talk you aren't running hard enough.
She usually gets mad and walks home
<-----same here
it's why i can't train with my wife. i'll join her if i just want to jog or hang out or need a recovery run/ride. but it's hard to train with a significant other who is faster or slower. luckily she understands this and doesn't hate me for it : )

Living near the mountains would be cool...but my biggest worry would be the scorpions and coyotes eating my pug.
<---also has a pug. we're just a few minutes from several phoenix mountains preserves trailheads and we keep close tabs on the pug when we take him hiking or even when he's in the yard alone.
and to the poster who mentioned north central, that's where i am now along the murphy bridle path.
great area, old money phoenix and only 5-10 quick minutes from downtown. biltmore and arcadia are nice too, and you don't have to deal with scottsdale people ;- )

i used to live downtown (central and encanto) and i'd seen everything on that list except for mountain lions.

Yup, and anyone who says otherwise is a fricking liar.
my immediate impulse is to say "yes, wtf are you kidding not legit lololol"...
but keep in mind this is a heavily-photoshopped angle pic of a girl with a fat slimming swimsuit. you have NO IDEA what is hidden under that shite.
i think i can relate to what you're saying.
in grad school as a TA i was shocked that there were kids (not just athletes) who didn't care about their grades. that were happy with C's. as an overachiever and graduate student the idea of a student happy with C's was unfamiliar and even scandalous. but then i got over the fact that some kids don't care, and my life became a LOT easier.
to be sure i would go out of my way to engage every student. but some didn't care. the ones that were struggling and were receptive to help i bent over backwards to accommodate. the students who didn't give a shite, i didn't give a shite about them. welcome to the real world i guess.
speaking of athletes, though. i have been an academic and educator for well over a decade now and won't go so far as to generalize about student athletes. so let me generalize about student athletes...some of the most dedicated, disciplined students i've ever enjoyed teaching have been student athletes whose athletic regimen is what got them "on track" with academics. of course, there were others that were damn near illiterate but they were in the minority.

but whenever we take our pug hiking he gets all lazy and winds up in my backpack after 30 minutes.
