It really is up to you. I think it's a cute idea to bring the daugther a little something as the whole thing might be a little confusing for her and, lets be honest, kids love gifts. 

A bottle of wine is always nice. That kind of depends on how you feel about giving alcohol, too.

Someone brought us a little kit with basic house stuff (light bulbs, glue, scissors, picture hanging kit etc.) and it has come in incredibly handy (I am a very utilitarian type.) I'm not sure what is available for you.

And coincidentally, much like what Salty's wearing in her avatar?

The tunnel is only 0.4 miles from the start and if you all try to run through it at exactly the same time 
you’ll get stuck, so to spread you all out a bit we have a narrow starting line

Much better suggestion, gives the volunteers something to laugh at

I've been thnking of volunteering at an event for a while. Can i do the oiling?

That has to have some significance.

Trying to start her early Salty?

Hey now, I thought my response was more on the conservative-adult-like side. I didn't even dream of saying what I was really thinking. 

I will say, when someone brought wine to our housewarming it was poured from the second story window into someone's mouth below. 

SNEEEERK

Why am I greatly amused but not at all surprised?

Predictors of Three-Dimensional Breast Kinematics during Bare-Breasted Running

Before you get your hopes up, there are no images 

The conclusion sounds simple (the bigger they are, the more they bounce. DUH!) but I do wonder if the fact they have data in the three fields (displacement, velocity, and acceleration) They might be able to create a more effective product. 

Also, I wonder why they didn't have this before? 

I've done both of them and like Insanity better - it got me in better shape; i wasn't trying to build muscles, which is more p90x; although weight loss certainly happens too.  Once my half iron race is over, i will probably do another round of Insanity.

TJ, i started out as a coal miner, worked in the family business (wholesaling goods into independent shops), joined the Royal Navy as an officer, navigating aircraft, moved onto being a police officer (uniformed response and drugs team), re-trained to be a landscape gardener and ran my own small business for 8 years, got a few extra qualifications and taught in a small school for 'difficult' children and then re-joined the family business as my dad is moving to semi-retirement, bless him. I now spend part of my day driving a van, delivering around our 600 strong customer base, part of the time in the office doing the accounts/cash work and part of the time looking at ways we can develop the business.

Do you want the whole article?

Yes please!

Good luck to all my fellow racers this weekend! This is my first OW tri, so I'm a teensy bit nervous, but I"m just gonna go it at my own pace.  Also, it's supposed to be 90 here tomorrow and it's fairly humid, so the unshaded run is most likely going to make my head explode.  I'm thinking of wearing my water belt during the 5K, just so that I can drink whenever I want...I"m gonna look like a drama queen but when I"m thirsty, I'm miserable and can't think of anything else!!

What the weather looking like for the rest of the racers?

Wait -- family business doing what?  Are you trying to keep it hush hush because it's like the Sopranos' family business?

With all the Feds and attornies around here, too much detail could be risky. Lets just say that to all outside appearances, we supply products like Duracell, Rizla, Pantene shampoo, Right Guard/Lynx anti-perspirant, pocket money toys, carrier bags etc to small independent shops like your 7-11's and drug stores.

My frequent trips to Scicily are just to source new products, honest.

1. How did you find this?

2. The purpose of the study has to do with the ability of body and breast size to explain the differences in those fields.  Ummmm, as you said, bigger is bouncier.

3. Regarding the velocity/acceleration: if they are moving faster than my Garmin says I am moving, I don't want to know.  I'm already slower than most, I don't need my boobs to move faster than me too...

...And here's some pics of the animals I have been working with in quarantine (they will eventually live in the reptile house, but they all get quarantines on arrival):

 A baby lemur frog--on my index finger tip.

one of the 35(!) baby California Tiger Salamanders in my care--on my hand.

An Amazon Milk Frog--By far one of the most 'different' looking frog species I have seen--yet REALLY cool.

And a Glass Frog--called that because you can see through their skin! unless, like this one, they are covered in dirt...
