Youth Leading The Audi Melges 20 Charge At Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week 2014
11 April 2014
Charleston, SC - As promised, the conditions were very challenging and downright random at times on day one of Sperry Top-sider Charleston Race Week. With a developing southeast seabreeze fighting a soft southwest gradient wind, the edges of the course paid off handsomely as large left and right lines of pressure descended on the course. Posting his most consistent day in quite some time, veteran Audi Melges 20 owner Daniel Theilman on Kuai summed up the racing, "Today was the best racing conditions we have had in awhile. We had our rig really well tuned, vang sheeted harder than we ever have and kept making changes for the conditions. We tried our best to win our side, and always be positioned well for the next line of pressure."
The first race saw a 6-8 knot southwest breeze with a strong ebb tide, making it seem the fleet was sailing on a treadmill going upwind. Conversations on boats centered around trying to find current relief on the right side under Castle Pickney, a narrow sand-spit island, or ignore the current and play the left side in anticipation of a forecasted seabreeze from the southeast. Up the first beat, the left shift beat out the current relief, and it was Grace Lucas on Bombardo and her team that started at the pin, extended left and took advantage of nice shift along with Jason Michas' Midnight Blue and Theilman who led around the mark. Lucas managed to snipe the race win, putting her local knowledge from the College of Charleston to good use.
As the southeast seabreeze built, the course was shifted left to 190 for Race Two with a slack current. Despite the starting line being moved it had a strong boat-end bias, resulting in several general recalls, while Z Flag penalties were handed out to a few disappointed teams. Big shifts on the left and right sides continued to rumble down the course, and what would turn out to be a theme of the day, Michas and his team of Mark Mendelblatt and Trevor Moore found their groove on the right side, grabbed the lead and never looked back. John Brown on Blind Squirrel and Declan Whitmyer on Slingshot followed closely in suit.
As many teams found out, once you thought you had a handle on what the breeze was doing, it was time for another assessment. Race Three saw the current now flooding back into the harbor moving left to right across the course, and again it was a battle of which side would be the last shift into the mark with huge angle changes on both sides. Russ Lucas on Shimmer found his form, and with calling Hans Melges off the bench to come sail this event, the Shimmer beef was hauling the mail as the breeze increased with gusts up to 15 knots. Brown and Whitmeyer again posted nice keeper results finishing again in second and third.
By the time the fourth and final race of the day got underway, most teams had experienced some sort of pain and confusion with what the wind was doing, with the exception Michas who continued his steady streak of top 5 finishes. With a nicely settled seabreeze, the left was more favored, and Travis Weisleder on Lucky Dog/Gill Race Team had a solid leeward end start, was patient on the left side and stepped into a leftie to get him in first around the top mark. Richard Davies and his Section 16 team got left the hardest on the second upwind beat and were able to steal the race win, followed by Weisleder and Michas.
After four exciting, streetball type races, Michas never finished out of the top four, and has a commanding lead over the fleet heading into day two. With a similar direction but lighter breeze forecasted tomorrow, it will be interesting to see if the teams who found their way on day one, can have a repeat performance on day two.

Facebook has been tweaking its advertising offerings, and one of the most significant developments has been the way more and more ads have been making their way into the news feeds of users, instead of in more easily-ignored advertising slots on the side of the page.

The History of the Church is a vital part of the Orthodox Christian faith. Orthodox Christians are defined significantly by their continuity with all those who have gone before, those who first received and preached the truth of Jesus Christ to the world, those who helped to formulate the expression and worship of our faith, and those who continue to move forward in the unchanging yet ever-dynamic Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church.

- Some of these dates are necessarily a bit vague, as records for some periods are particularly difficult to piece together accurately.
- The division of Church History into separate eras as done here will always be to some extent arbitrary, though it was attempted to group periods according to major watershed events.
- This timeline is necessarily biased toward the history of the Orthodox Church, though a number of non-Orthodox or purely political events are mentioned for their importance in history related to Orthodoxy or for reference.

Store Payment Info In Your Online Store? Watch Out For Patent Infringement Lawsuits
from the pay-now dept
As for the patents in question, they're all a variation on a "method and apparatus for conducting electronic commerce transactions using electronic tokens." The specific patents are 7,376,621, 7,249,099, 7,328,189 and 7,177,838. Reading through the claims, this seems like an incredibly typical online system for storing payment info and seeing if the person can actually pay. Since the patent system defenders among our readers get quite upset whenever I say something seems "obvious" to me, let's flip this around. Can anyone explain how these concepts were not obvious at the time of filing?
Not surprisingly, the cases have been filed in Marshall, Texas... and as Joe Mullin figured out, the guy who is running "Actus" is a lawyer known for representing some infamous patent hoarding companies. He also discovered that the lawyer representing Actus in these lawsuits appears to share an office (or at least the same address) with the son (who is also a patent attorney) of the judge handling the case. At some point, do people start questioning whether or not there's a conflict of interest there?

How The Patent Office Outsourced Its Job To Non-Expert Jurors
from the this-is-sad dept
But what does this mean in practice? Downes highlights the problem this causes in a very simple way: it's the USPTO outsourcing the patent review process to unskilled juries:
The result has been the creation of a shadow patent examination process through litigation. The grant of a patent is no longer the final step, in other words. The de facto examination really takes place when the holder tries to enforce the patent against an alleged infringer, and the defendant claims invalidity of the patent as a defense. When such cases go to trial, which they rarely do, a jury of laymen are then tasked with doing the work avoided by the patent examiner.This is a pretty big problem when you think about it. Already, there are concerns that the supposed patent examiner "experts" often don't have enough expertise to judge the non-obviousness of certain inventions. To then shift the burden to inherently unskilled non-experts to make that decision, even with advocates for both sides fighting it out in front of them, seems to go against the very idea that patents are supposed to only be allowed if they are non-obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. Asking those not skilled in the art to make that judgment seems like a mistake.
In effect, the patent office has outsourced its job to the judiciary and in particular to a jury of non-experts. If nothing else, that is a feature of the modern system that absolutely no one is happy with, or in any event that no one can justify.

GRAND COULEE A worker remains hospitalized after being critically injured in a fire that damaged the John W. Keys III Pump Generating Plant at Grand Coulee Dam.
Grand Coulee resident Daniel McCulloch, 53, was listed in serious condition Monday in the intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, the hospital said.
McCulloch, who has worked at the dam since 2008, received burns in the Nov. 18 fire.
Another worker, Electric City resident Thomas Leitner, 54, was treated at Coulee Medical Center and released the day of the fire, Bureau of Reclamation spokeswoman Lynne Brougher said.
The fire apparently was caused by a switch gear failure in the plant. The agency's Denver office is conducting an investigation.
Brougher said the plant pumps water from Lake Roosevelt into Banks Lake for irrigation, but can switch its purpose to generate electricity, too.
The plant is in its off season, so was doing neither function. Maintenance on nine of the plant's units was under way.
The pumping plant sustained fire and smoke damage. Overall dam operations were not affected.
Dam officials are awaiting the results of tests to make sure the plant is free of toxic and chemical residue.
The plant, just off state Highway 155 on the west side of the Columbia River, was evacuated during the fire.
Last week's fire is the third fire and electrical damage incident at the dam in the past year.
In October, concrete was knocked off the dam's left powerhouse when it was hit by electrically charged water. In March, an electrical fault and breaker failure caused a fire and explosion in the right powerhouse.
No one was injured in those incidents.
"We have no conclusions of why" there's been a rash of incidents Brougher said.

New Beavis & Butt-head To Contain Less Music... Because MTV (MTV?!?) Says It's Too Expensive To License Music
from the check-that-out dept
Another show that faced the same problem was apparently the original Beavis and Butt-head, when it tried to come out on DVD. And now that the show is returning to MTV years later, apparently the folks behind it are dealing with it by... including significantly fewer music videos, because it's a total licensing nightmare. And, yes, this is on MTV, the channel that used to be (way back in the day) dedicated to showing music videos and promoting musicians via those videos. But, of course, a few years back, the record labels, in their desperate grab for cash, suddenly started bitching about "how dare MTV promote our music without paying us," and suddenly promotional videos became expensive... which is part of the reason why it's difficult to find them on MTV at all any more.

John S. Romanides
Father John S. Romanides (1927 - 2001) was a prominent 20th century Orthodox Christian priest, theologian, and writer.
Fr. Romanides was ordained in 1951 while studying at Yale University Divinity School, and served at Holy Trinity Church in Waterbury, Connecticut, from 1951 till 1954. After finishing his studies at Yale he was transferred for the summer of 1954 to Holy Trinity Cathedral in New York City until he left for studies at St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris (1954-55). He did his doctoral work at the University of Athens from 1956 to 1957. He was appointed professor at Holy Cross, Brookline, Massachusetts, where he taught between 1957 and 1965 while continuing his studies and research at the Harvard Divinity School and then at the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. All this time, between 1957 to 1968, he was also a parish priest. He was appointed to the parish of Newport, New Hampshire, in 1958. Then in 1959 he was appointed the first priest of St. Athanasius The Great Orthodox Church in Arlington, Massachusetts, which he helped found and organize. He resigned from Holy Cross in 1965 in protest over the removal of Father Georges Florovsky from the faculty by Archbishop Iakovos. Between 1965 and 1968 Father Romanides served as the pastor of Holy Apostles' Parish in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He was professor of dogmatics at the University of Thessalonike from 1970 until his retirement in 1984. From 1970 on, he also taught at the University of Balamand in Lebanon. He continued to teach even after his retirement.
He also represented the Church of Greece as member of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches and in the dialogues with the Lutherans and the Oriental Orthodox.
His legacy lives on through his more then 2,000 students, including many priests, monks, and at least 10 bishops.
Romanides argued for the existence of "national, cultural and even linguistic unity between East and West Romans" until the intrusion and takeover of the West Romans (the Roman Catholics) by the Franks (German tribes).

A Direct Manipulation Interface
for Frame-Accurate In-Scene Video Navigation
for Frame-Accurate In-Scene Video Navigation
What is DRAGON?
DRAGON is a direct-manipulation interaction technique for frame-accurate navigation in video scenes. This technique benefits tasks such as professional and amateur video editing, review of sports footage, and forensic analysis of video scenes.
By directly dragging objects in the scene along their movement trajectory, DRAGON enables users to quickly and precisely navigate to a specific point in the video timeline where an object of interest is in a desired location. Examples include the specific frame where a sprinter crosses the finish line, or where a car passes a traffic light.
Through a user study, we have shown that DRAGON significantly reduces task completion time for in-scene navigation tasks by an average of 19–42% compared to a standard timeline slider. Qualitative feedback from users is also positive, with multiple users indicating that the DRAGON interaction felt more natural than the traditional slider for in-scene navigation.
The People Behind DRAGON
DRAGON is a research project by Thorsten Karrer, Malte Weiss, Moritz Wittenhagen, Jan Borchers and others at the Media Computing Group. It is funded in part through the German B-IT Foundation and the UMIC DFG Excellence Initiative.
Related Projects
PocketDRAGON is an implementation of the DRAGON technique for the iPhone. It helps to navigate videos without requiring any valuable screen real estate on the mobile device.
DRAGONEye is a high-performance implementation of the DRAGON technique. It does not require any pre-processing time and is more robust against object occlusions at the same time.

Emotional Projection of Site: VERY Sexy (but not trashy), Innovative, Credible, Social, Fresh, Fun and a "Cool" place/community to be a part of.
Competitive sites - These sites target similar demographics, but we have a well defined "Differentiation" strategy to set ourselves far apart from these:
Askmen.com, GQ.com, MensHealth.com, Esquire.com, Maxim.com, MadeMan.com (In other words, we don't wish to be a "me too")
The MaleStandard.com team is here for you! We will be very active in helping to support your creative development efforts and are committed to providing you timely feedback throughout the entire project! We want you to have FUN!
USES of LOGO:
Immediate – Website and Business cards
Secondary – Envelopes and Letterhead, Apparel, Stickers, etc…
Logo may designed as a Stand Alone or used in conjunction with an Icon. We are open to both options.
The ".com" should be included in the design, but should also be easily removed when/if not needed.
SITE/BRAND COLOR STRATEGY: The use of warm and rich shades of orange, along with black and grays. We are also using complementary colors to convey a warm and welcoming feeling. The logo does not need to be these colors, but should be designed to work in conjunction with them.
PLEASE NOTE: Current site (MaleStandard.com) is not a representation of this project. Please ignore current and all of its content. The information and images are only being used as a place holder for the web-address.)
Formats Requested: Vector EPS, PDF, JPEG and any additional formats you feel will be of value to us.

I've been going to a 12 week viewing of Ken Ham's laughable "Foundations" DVD series at a Presbyterian church. I've seen the first 3 so far. Ugh, it's getting worse each time. So many misrepresentations of science and skepticism. It's jam packed with logical failures, just like the one in the sign.
We talk about this on my Facts Before Faith podcast (episode 5). I have a group on Atheist Nexus for the podcast. Feel free to listen and comment.
Funny! The point is, the desert warlords who claimed to have divinely received the O.T. with its do this and don't do that, would not have known a dinosaur bone from an elephant's; they had no knowledge of paleontology period. A discipline that would not even come along for three or four thousand years. The jokester is merely betraying his or her ignorance, since the extinction of dinosaurs occurred 200 million years earlier. Duh!
I've had some creationists tell me that the devil put the dinosaur bones there to deceive man.
Quite insane.
My ex-father-in-law believed that. Glad I can say ex.
This whole rhetorical method bothers me, and believers are the worst offenders. What is written on the sign is neither a question nor a statement. It's more of an accusation of conflict. People who are frustrated by English might ask, "Why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?" People who ask this don't really care about the answer. They're just frustrated. These sentences are structured like questions, but they're really emotional outbursts.
A question that appears unanswerable may turn out to be quite easily solved, and any belief or thought patterns structured on the eternal lack of an answer are doomed for failure. This especially bothers me because it teaches children to be dumbfounded by questions instead of being fascinated by finding answers. My favorite: Which came first, the chicken or the egg? For me, the answer to this one is simple. No matter where in the chicken's evolutionary history you draw the distinction between "chicken" and "non-chicken ancestor of the chicken", at some point, a non-chicken, chicken-like creature laid a true chicken egg. It was the egg. It kills the joke, but that sort of thing is what a thirst for understanding often requires. There will always be deeper and deeper questions available to entertain us as they pop up.

Managing Maine's Black Bear Population [VIDEO]
They have been tracking and examining Maine's black bear population since 1975 in the longest running biological study in the United States.
Don't be mistaken though, this is not a desk job.
Wildlife biologists with the Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Department (IF&W) have tracked over 3,000 bears to determine their health and well being, and to learn more about the number of bears entering the population.
According to statistics provided by IF&W biologists, since 2004, Maine black bears have been doing well with an estimated population of 30,000 animals in 2010.
If the bear population becomes too dense, that's when conflicts start to happen. Those conflicts can involve more human encounters, as well as competition for resources.
IF & W Bear biologist Randy Cross says they're all interested in the welfare of Maine black bears and their job is to maintain a balance.
"A lot of people don't realize the negative effects of not removing bears to control the population," states Cross. "At some point bears will be suffering because there are too many bears and not enough food, and that leads to starvation and disease."
Cross goes on to explain the state has used hunting as a management tool to control the bear population for years.
Some, however, are opposed to the traditional methods of bear hunting which include baiting, trapping, and hunting with dogs.
According to department stats, despite ample opportunity, the bear still comes out ahead of the hunter.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's basketball game, visiting Springfield College held on for a 36-31 victory over MIT on Saturday afternoon. Kelly Slattery compiled a game-high 14 rebounds and 12 points for the Pride, who improved to 7-12 on the year and 7-5 in conference play. Rachel Hunt led the Engineers (8-10, 4-7 NEWMAC) with nine points, five blocks, and three assists to go along with five rebounds.
Springfield opened the game with 11 unanswered points and went on to create a 15-2 lead at the 11:22 mark. Sparked by a layup from Lauren Sascha Burton, MIT mounted a 15-4 run that narrowed the gap to two (19-17) with 28 seconds on the clock. Slattery responded with a layup seven seconds before the break, moving the score to 21-17.
The first five minutes of the second half were a defensive battle until a pair of free throws by Rebecca Odim and a Burton layup knotted the score at 21. After trading baskets, Meghan Biondolillo put the Pride ahead, 25-23, with two free throws midway through the frame. On its ensuing trip down the court, MIT took its first lead of the day courtesy of Margo Batie's three-pointer.
Springfield countered with a 10-2 spurt that spanned three minutes and resulted in a 35-28 advantage. Kelly Murphy and Biondolillo both posted a layup and three-pointer for the Pride during the run. Hunt's three-point play trimmed the Engineers' deficit to four (35-31) with 4:30 remaining in regulation.
Both sides were plagued with turnovers and shooting woes down the stretch. Springfield, in the midst of a seven-minute scoring drought, kept the door open late as it missed the front-ends of a one-and-one on trips to the charity stripe with 39 and 24 seconds to go. MIT, meanwhile, failed to convert its seven field goal attempts during the final minutes.
The Pride secured the win when Murphy drained her free throw with 11 seconds left to play.
Burton finished with seven points, three steals, and two assists as Stephanie Cooke grabbed a team-high seven rebounds for the Cardinal and Gray. Anna Merrifield chipped in six points and five boards while Batie registered five points and two steals.
Murphy posted eight points as Biondolillo added seven coming off of Springfield's bench. Emily Walker notched nine rebounds and two blocks while Andrea Butler totaled six steals and five boards. Rachelle Walker dished out a team-high three assists.
Both squads continue conference play on Wednesday, Feb. 2. MIT will host nationally-ranked No. 5 Babson College while Springfield will travel to WPI.

On achieving orthorexia
But it was a running joke on SR's side of the family that I didn't take care of myself, after my 6 year old niece, Rebecca said this to me while I was rolling around on the ground in pain from my heart burn. She was right.
All of this is in the past tense, though, because something happened. And my approach to eating has taken almost a 180 degree turn. (Granted I had flirted with quite healthy eating while pregnant, I inevitably fell back to my old habits when unpregnant)
So what happened? Well, the first thing was my astounding realisation that eating a chocolate bar for breakfast every morning left me tired during my workouts. One day I just said "enough!" and I bought gluten free granola and Hemp milk and ate that for breakfast instead. IT WAS AMAZING the difference in energy I experienced! Around the same time (two months ago) I decided to give up my proton pump inhibitor (Lansoprazole) prescription antacid mediation, hoping it would decrease the stomach bloating/pregnant-looking stomach I was experiencing. While it didn't take the bloating away, it made me more careful about what I ate. When I read the article about diet soda (presumably artificial sweeteners) causing stomach bloating, I was in just the right mind frame to give up those 5-7 cans a day. Initially I replaced the diet soda with Zevia (sweetened with Stevia, a plant which has been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years in South America),but since I read it may lower blood pressure, I also drink La Croix and just plain water since my BP is like most other ultra runners. My waist has shrunk 3½ inches.
All this opened the flood gates. I gave up all artificial sweeteners (not only did this include that pack a day of gum, but those yucky sugar free chocolates I ate on a daily basis). I joked at dinner the other night that I don't even want articial sweeteners touching my skin, but it actually wasn't a joke. I started eating fresh fish with my vegetables almost every night. Instead of eating chocolate on my runs, I eat Clif Builders bars which consist of mostly soy protein isolate and beet juice, all natural ingredients and most organic. I have so much energy and feel so much more stable in my mood that I feel as though I truly have found the holy grail.
This past week following Afton I had two 3 hour runs and one 4½ hour run on trails, my fastest 8 x 1km interval session, 3 x 40+ mile bike rides, two with my new Team Velotek North girlfriends and one actually holding on to SR the entire distance as he went his hardest. Add to this long swims, core and yoga. And I don't have a speck of pain in my body. I feel as if I have been born again. And I basically never think about calories but only about the health benefits of what I eat- and of course my weight is the same or slightly less. And yet all I want is to have strength for my workouts.
And the acid reflux I used to have?? Well I do take probiotics daily now, but it is gone! It is better than it was when I was throwing the PPI at it every day. I have come to realise how effective diet is in controlling your body- and when I was observing in family medicine clinic the other day, I was extremely saddened by doctors still doing so much pill pushing for lifestyle illnesses, which SHOULD be treated with diet and exercise. This is 2012! Drugs are so passé.
The bad part of this is I have become (even more) annoying and I am judging people. I tease SR that he lives the "80's American dream" with all of his soda and candy (this is so ironic, though, since he has had a healthier diet than me (I?) up until two months ago). And we have a friend visiting from Denmark now who tonight wanted to go buy Fruit Loops and diet soda - and I felt I needed to stop her "but what do you get out of eating like that??" (yet that was just like me coming from Denmark in December-- "wow!! Look at all of this cheap, yummy low-cal food!").
Edit: (I need to add this info so the above post makes slightly more sense!): This is a very complicated topic for me to explain. I love eating healthy and I know it makes me feel better and I have known that for as long as I can remember. But this odd belief that I need to eat exactly the same thing every day and limit my calories to a certain amount (otherwise aliens will kill me???) has trumped every ounce of good sense in the past. Interestingly, adding artificial sweetened things to my diet was the biggest health setback I have experienced.

I have followed in your footsteps and have given up soda for Zevia! I used to be addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper. I drank 2 cans a day (even while pregnant). It was my crack (it's so, so good though).
When you mentioned Zevia, I gave that I try. I've only had the Ginger Root Beer (love) and the Cola (not so love) and I haven't touched Diet Dr. Pepper since. I feel so less guilty on a daily basis!

What's with the Americans and soda? Seriously? And I do not think that it is a stereotype. Do people drink it so much because it is cheap in the US? Probably. How much does a 2l bottle cost in the US? It is around 2€ in Europe. And 24pack of 0.25l is around 12€, 0.33l around 16E. That is significantly higher than in the US, isn't it?
(I researched those prices, I do not buy soda so I do not know myself.)
My sister's husband (American) was in Slovakia with her last summer and my parents claim that they almost went bankrupt because of all the money they had to spend on sodas for him:) Because he would not drink anything else.
But you know what I am curious about? Whether your better eating habits are indeed contributing to your higher energy levels, or whether it is only psychological because you believe that it should make you feel better so you think you feel better.

Yes, CP! So glad to hear you like Zevia and that it is working for you. I like the Ginger Root Beer, too, and also the Black Cherry, Lemon Lim and Orange. I would just caution against too much Zevia since the long term effects of Stevia are not really know, though they can't be too bad if it really has been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years.

- Marathon Mom said...
What a change and good for you for making these changes, I'm glad you feel better. I think that is the key to knowing our body is happy with the food we are giving it.
I agree, the typical American diet is awful, full of junk and that is the normal. Last weekend we were at a family picnic and O was the only kid not with a plate full of cookies, chips and soda and I got so many comments about her eating the veggies, fruit, whole grain stuff and how she needed other things :(
I also find it interesting that as a physician you made the comment about people being over medicated. I see this all the time, people want a quick fix and expect that pill fix everything!
- 17 July 2012 at 15:15
- sea legs girl said...
Mmmmonyka, I totally hear what you are saying about the new diet possibly only giving a psychological advantage. Yet there is no way I would go back to my old ways when I think of how I feel now. Plus I used to barely be able to go on a walk in the evenings with the family due to stomach problems and that is all gone now! There are certainly some changes that were higher yield than others.
- 17 July 2012 at 15:16
- sea legs girl said...
Marathon Mom, Thank you. You know, the ironic thing is my kids have always been forced to eat well by me, it is just now I feel I can be a true role model for them (and that is so important!)
- 17 July 2012 at 15:17
- mmmonyka said...
Gosh, and you have figured out that eating better will make you feel better only NOW?!?
Glad you did though:) Better late than never.
Btw, are you doing Challenge Copenhagen or not? Since you are biking quite a bit and doing long swims.

- SteveQ said...
I am going to slap the next person who says that because an occasional stevia leaf was eaten two hundred years ago that it's safe! The Romans sweetened their foods for hundreds of years with a natural compound - lead.
There is absolutely no evidence that ingesting more than trace amounts of stevia is safe. None. Not one long-term study by anyone without a vested interest.
- 17 July 2012 at 17:12
- Danni said...
Plus Stevia tastes horrible. I hate it. We have unlimited free soda at work but I normally have a few a week at most. I figure that won't kill me. I love LaCroix though. I wish we had that here. Just Perrier.
Nice work cleaning up your diet. Are you also getting more calories? That would probably make you feel better as well.
You were eating a chocolate bar for breakfast?
Are you still obsessively counting calories? How many do you eat per day you think?
- 17 July 2012 at 18:06
- Alicia said...
Ha, I never realized you had such a bad diet before--that means you probably weren't psyched for the salads I brought when I came to your house the first time, were you! Sorry about that. Nice job on the diet turnaround. Enjoy the newfound energy!

Yes, Mmmonyka, Challenge Copenhagen ironman is my next race! I am beyond excited.

- PiccolaPineCone said...
on a completely different note - i need to know how fast you ran your 8 X 1 km so i can have my usual moan about how you need to find a flat, fast 5 or 10 km race so you can destroy your pb.
@ monyka - i was SHOCKED when i lkived in europe at how cheaply i could buy bottled, fizzy water (or still). it was 19 euro cent for a 1.5 L bottle. i never buy the stuff here bc it is expensive and somewhat ridiculous given we have the safest water supply in the world but at 19 cent per bottle i couldn't resist. it would cost 10-15 times that in north america. so.... cheap soda, expensive water. all part of the pattern.
- 17 July 2012 at 21:27
- sea legs girl said...
Steve, I think you make an excellent point about Zevia. It was, however perfect for me for weaning off of diet soda. Now I am ok with water and La Croix, but I needed that bridge! It is kind of like heroine addicts who need methadone; it may not be healthy but it gets you off of something worse.

PPC - it would require a ton of calculation to tell you the exact times since I do these repeats on the treadmill - jog the first .37 miles, then interval the rest of the .62 mile. I start at 4 min/km pace exactly and then speed up by a couple/few seconds each interval. By the end of the 8th interval, I was at 3:42 pace/km. This was at 1% grade.

I never knew exactly how many calories I ate per day, but I just had to eat the exact same as the day before. I still do this to a certain extent, but am just eating more healthy foods and switching things up more.

Good for you!
I'm with Danni - I kinda am in disbelief that you were eating a candy bar for breakfast. Yikes! No wonder you feel better.
Danni put me on to Mark's Daily Apple (website), and I'm becoming quite influenced by it. Might be worth checking out. Problem is, the "primal" diet is hard to do without meat involved, so not sure that would work for you.
- 18 July 2012 at 02:44

The "candy bar" was swemisweetened baking chocolate, and I dare anyone here to stop eating it once you've started!!! Bwahahaha.
- 18 July 2012 at 04:52
- sea legs girl said...
Thanks, Kate for the webiste recommendation! Is Mark the ripped guy sitting in the pool? I'm a little scared of him... and am I wrong to assume "primal" is just yet another dieting fad just like "paleo" or "Atkins"? I suppose I should read more before assuming!!
- 18 July 2012 at 04:57
- mmmonyka said...
If it makes you feel better I also eat chocolate for breakfast sometimes. Or dinner. Or both. Sometimes both on the same day. Just today I ate 500g of assorted cookies for breakfast. But shhh, do not tell anyone.
@PPC: Not only mineral water is cheap in Europe, but we have a lot of mineral water sources all over in Slovakia and you can go there and fill your own bottles with water coming from the ground. (Although the one we used to go to is very close to train station. My grandmother claims that it is probably not as pure as it should be but I always reason with her that all the rust from trains is just extra iron). Therefore I HATE paying 1+USD for 1l bottle in the NA.

I, too, used to have reallllllly bad acid reflux. Sometimes it was so bad that I was convinced I was having a heart attack (I'm 33). Giving up gluten remedied most of the problem, and I weaned myself off my prescription. (Greasy food still gets me, though.)
My husband LOVES La Croix! It's weird - in America sodas are SO cheap (especially if you buy the store brand) but fizzy water is kind of pricey.

Thank you so much for your input on acid reflux, Stationary Runner! I too called 911 as a kid saying I was having a heart attack! It was just heart burn of course. There is a reason it got that name. I have also given up gluten. Not because I think I have gluten intolerance but because I think it can be rough on the gi tract.

Thanks, Steve. I'm listening to it right now :).

Hi Sea Legs Girl,
I mostly just read your blog, but I felt the need to echo what previous poster Kate mentioned. You may like to check out the primal way of eating (www.marksdailyapple.com). It is very similar to paleo (I love www.chriskresser.com). If you don't have a moral problem with eating meat, you might start to get over the notion that it drains the Earth's resources by reading the book "The Vegetarian Myth" (basic premise- eating grains, vegetables, etc. from modern agricultural practices is much more damaging than eating pastured meat and dairy, which actually replenishes topsoil). Anyway, I don't believe these ways of eating are fads. You might want to read Taubes' "Good Calories Bad Calories" to start with for scientific bases to help get off the calorie counting and ditch carbohydrates in exchange for fat and protein. I am a long time runner and struggled for years with calorie counting. During that time, I ate majority carbohydrate diet. The switch to more fat and protein is liberating, filling, and does NOT make you gain weight. Good luck. I am enjoying reading your blog as I "run" (jog) through my second pregnancy.

And as a counterpoint to the meat-pushers, here's an article I read last night: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2012/07/23/human-ancestors-were-nearly-all-vegetarians/
It basically says that our digestive tracts evolved way earlier than the primal/paleo/caveman diet promoters seem to think so we should look at what monkeys are eating. And that we really don't know what paleolithic ancestors ate anyway.
re: environmental impact of our diets, I agree that modern factory ag is horrible for the environment (both vegetable farming and facotry animal farming); but isn't the issue that there isn't enough pasture in the world for everyone to be able to eat a meat-based diet? Low-impact, sustainable, organic vegetable growing is not harmful to the soil.
- 24 July 2012 at 15:52
- sea legs girl said...
Thank you so much, Katherine and Maria. I have read the links you guys suggested and think I will write a little in my next blog post about this. Very interesting stuff!
- 24 July 2012 at 22:03
- Kate said...
Ack! I can't believe I've been labeled a "meat pusher"! Ha! Never would've thought of myself that way. I am, like everyone else, still just learning and gathering information and trying to figure out what works best for me and the Earth.
Oh, and semisweet baking chocolate, while still not an ideal breakfast if that's the ONLY thing you were eating, is probably not that different than my tendency to find a little chocolate in the evening. Yum.

teaching at east bay and davis
Where is Waldorf? Waldorf is where there is a community of people dedicated to the holistic wellness of our children and the world we live in. Two places I know of are East Bay Waldorf School and Davis Waldorf School, where in the former I am currently teaching, and the latter, I will be in the fall 2010 school year.
How I became so amazingly blessed to spend time with the faculty, students, and parents of both places is unfathomable! It seems the angels have been secretly watching over me as I went about my work. I accept their gift with humility, and gratitude.
This is not the kind of gift one receives like a gift certificate to a day spa!
It is more of the kind of gift like I have just been knighted. It is really cool and honorable, but you know you've got some serious work to do thereafter!
At East Bay Waldorf, I have been teaching sciences and math to the upper grades, with an economics block winding down the week after spring break. That same week, I am starting my new assignment at East Bay taking the children of class two through to the end of the school year! (Their wonderful teacher since first grade is blessed with a pregnancy, but is also experiencing some health-related concerns.) With nine weeks left, we will have time for a 4 week math block and a 4 week language arts block, and a week for review of recap of the year. I will reinforce their math skills and their reading and writing skills to prepare them for third grade. Overall, my goal is to maintain the joyfulness in their hearts and the reverence of their classroom, so that at whatever capacity they are at, they will meet their learning with love and enthusiasm.
At Davis Waldorf School, I will enter the fall 2010 school year as the sixth grade teacher. This will be a wonderful journey and hope to graduate the Class of 2013! I have many great ideas for the fall, and am looking forward to connecting with the children and parents in creating a synergistic flow of learning, doing, feeling, and being!
My new post has been recently announced to the parents of the children, and Kelly Brewer, the administrator at DWS, directed parents to visit my blogsite. I have attached links to previous blog posts that DWS parents might be interested in. Of course, you are welcome to read any of my postings and visit other blogsites as well!
