20-somethings can learn personal finance...
Farnoosh's youthful style (and references) make this a great book for 20-somethings in or about to enter the "real world". I bought this book for my sister, a recent Penn State grad, but figured since Farnoosh is a fellow Penn Stater, I would read it myself. I will admit that, as a 30-something, I did not get all the fashion forward references, but the information was presented in a clear, relevant, and concise format. This is the kind of stuff they never teach in college, and first-time employees are "supposed" to learn on their own...but personal finance is never given its proper due as young professionals move from college to the work world. Get this book for your son, daughter, niece, nephew, friend - anyone about to leave the comfort of a dorm room and enter a world full of the harsh realities of health insurance, 401Ks, and setting a course for their financial future.

Arlington Turkey Trot
Founded by Christ Church of Arlington
November 27, 2014 - 8 a.m.
Race Information
Special Events
Join us for our 9th Annual 5k Trot!
Arlington Turkey Trot—Brief History and Fun Facts
From the time that Pastor Brian Webster came to town to lead Christ Church of Arlington, he set his sights and heart on reaching out to the community to assist the poor and needy—those in search of a friend, good food, child care—a place to call home. Brian identified two charities—Doorways for Women and Families and Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless—which provide homes for families, including women and children who are victims of domestic violence.
The vehicle that was developed to reach out to and rally the community was the November 2006 5K—Turkey Trot that attracted 300 runners, joggers, walkers and strollers. Now, eight years later, Christ Church, together with the original charities and the Arlington Food Assistance Center, will launch the 9th annual Turkey Trot which, by now, has become an Arlington tradition.
The 2006 Trot raised $4,200 for the charities and, in 2013, with over 3000 registrants, $42,000 was generated, all of the race's net proceeds. Over the past 8 years, the race registrants and business sponsors have raised over $200,000 to help Arlington residents who need a "hand up."
Thousands of individuals, businesses and community groups have, over the years, provided cash, prizes (particularly gift certificates), and food for hungry Arlingtonians as well as race participants. Last year, at the Lyon Park post race ceremony, over 2000 bananas, 50 cases of water and a hundred dozen bagels were consumed.
In 2013, 25 Arlington police mapped out and monitored the course along with 40 course marshal volunteers. Dozens of dogs and strollers traversed the course, often slowly but surely. The winning time was 16:12. Hundreds of hours are spent by church members, staff, volunteers and paid consultants following up, planning and implementing the Trot each year, starting in April. Based on a recent survey question, the vast majority of "trotters" run for fun and the January-February Arlington Magazine rated the Arlington Turkey Trot Arlington's #1 local race/charity run.

Lizard rock - an absolute gem. If you are in Tucson and climbing this place is an absolute must. Bomber rock, tiny holds, run-out bolts, super solid placements,... unfortunately nearly no anchors. Tons of big names in Tucson have had a hand in the development of this place. About the only sub par aspect of this place is the views.
Only statements #3 and #4 above are correct. However, if you're interested in checking this place out the following photos for Twelve O'Clock High (5.10+R) [unsure if its this one or High Noon (5.9+X), ref SQII] may deceive you into thinking it's totally rad.

|This formation is completely out of sight until you have passed it. The first view of it you get is from South Willow Canyon Rd near Rose Canyon Lake. From this vantage point and beyond, it looks kind of like a sleeping iguana (or in my opinion, a tortoise shell). It's fun to scramble up on but for my money, the climbing isn't great here.

Alabama edged out Florida State to move into the top spot in this week's FWAA-NFF Grantland Rice Super 16 poll.
The Crimson Tide (10-1, 6-1 SEC) moved up a spot from last week after earning 629 points and 19 of the 41 possible first-place votes. The Seminoles (11-0, 8-0 ACC) dropped down to No. 2 after gathering 610 points and 18 first-place votes.
Oregon (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12) remained at No. 3 – receiving four first-place vote – followed by Mississippi State (10-1, 6-1 SEC) rounding out the top four. This week's Final Four teams are identical to last week's College Football Playoff rankings.
TCU, Ohio State and Baylor remain unchanged from last week.
Georgia moves up a spot to No. 8, just a mere point ahead of UCLA at No. 9. Michigan State rounds out the top 10 in this week's rankings.
The rest of the rankings are as follows:
11. Kansas State, 12. Arizona, 13. Arizona State, 14. Wisconsin, 15. Auburn and 16. Missouri.

The SEC should be ready to go after a weekend full of cupcakes is just one thing to come from this college football weekend.
Here are 10 things we learned:
1. Just a ho-hum Saturday. After weeks of drama amid the top teams in the College Football Playoff rankings, Saturday's action was sort of a letdown. Eight of the top 10 teams in the latest rankings all won, including the top four: Alabama, Oregon, FSU and Mississippi State.
2. Cupcakes still on the menu throughout the SEC. No offense to Eastern Kentucky, Samford, Charleston Southern and Western Carolina, but the schedule-makers in the SEC didn't do the league or college football fans any favors with games featuring weaker competition in the middle of November.
3. Records apparently are made to be broken. A week after Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon set a new FBS single-game rushing record with 408 yards against Nebraska – shattering a record that lasted 15 years – Oklahoma's Samaje Perine topped that mark by rushing for 427 yards...Read more
Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota was starting to look like a lock for the Heisman Trophy, but Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon shook up the race in a big way.
Check out our latest look at the Heisman Trophy favorites:
Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
The Buzz: After a bye week, Mariota gets back to work with a Pac-12 showdown with Colorado. The Ducks quarterback continues to hold a slight advantage as the Heisman Trophy favorite after putting up more than 3,330 total yards of offense and 38 total touchdowns this season. Even more impressive, Mariota only has two interceptions this season. He's on pace to put up more than 4,200 yards of total offense and more than 45 touchdowns — statistics comparable to past Heisman Trophy winners. This weekend should provide another opportunity to expand those numbers against a struggling Colorado team.
Up next: Saturday, vs. Colorado
Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
The Buzz: If you're looking for Heisman moments, they don't get any better than Melvin Gordon's...Read more
American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco voiced his displeasure that East Carolina receiver Justin Hardy was not a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award - given to the nation's top wide receiver.
Aresco released a statement Wednesday evening on the subject:
"We were extremely disappointed to learn that Justin Hardy of East Carolina was not chosen as a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award. While we understand that there are a number of deserving candidates for this honor, anyone who has seen Justin play this year would have to conclude that he is among the best receivers in the nation.
"Quite simply, Justin Hardy will finish his career as one of the all-time greats in college football. He is on the cusp of becoming the NCAA FBS career receptions leader, breaking one of the game's most important records, and he has done it with great class and dignity. He has had an outstanding season in every respect.
"Our extremely competitive conference has terrific players across the...Read more
A high stakes ACC rivalry game headlines our top six games to watch this weekend.
North Carolina at No. 21 Duke
Thursday, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
The Buzz: Duke's path back to ACC Championship Game is clear – win out and the Blue Devils are headed back to Charlotte. Lose one of the next two games and Georgia Tech returns to the ACC title game for the first time since 2012. Either way, the winner of the Coastal Division is assured a date with Florida State. North Carolina, meanwhile, is looking to continue a streak of bowl appearances in six out of the past seven seasons and needs a win in its next two games. The past two meetings in this series have been close, with Duke winning both by a combined total of five points.
Louisville at Notre Dame
Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET, NBC
The Buzz: Hard to imagine that a month ago Notre Dame was viewed as a possible playoff contender. Three losses later, the Fighting Irish are reeling and Brian Kelly's team is looking to finish on a positive note....Read more

The prolific – and at times unsettling – art of the London-based Quay Brothers is on full display at a new exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art, and their fans are mightily impressed.
Stephen and Timothy Quay are 65-year-old identical twins who've spent a lifetime creating stop motion animations, illustrations, album covers, music videos – and much more.
The designs of the Brothers Quay may demonstrate great artistic prowess. But they aren't cozy and comforting; they can be peculiar and disturbing. The New York Times recently noted that their style has been called Victorian Gothic Surrealism.
Their films don't conform to straightforward narratives. Some feel like they belong to a different age. Don't look to dialogue for guidance; most of their films are silent. Stephen Quay says: "We've always been very image based artists. The image is predominant."
The Quay twins were born in Pennsylvania, but they've been living in London for more than thirty years.
Stephen Quay says: "I think sympathetically our heart is more European."
Among their more potent influences is poster art from Poland in the 1960s.
The eccentric Brothers have also made commercials. That requires them to navigate a rather different world. "It's a challenge to be perverse in an industry where they're selling lunacy – so it's a challenge just to obey their terms and to see if you can come out without your tail between your legs," says Timothy Quay.
Although their work doesn't have mainstream appeal, Ron Magliozzi, Associate Curator in the Department of Film at MoMA, says "their influence has been subtle but pervasive."
"Quay Brothers: On Deciphering the Pharmacist's Prescription for Lip-Reading Puppets" can be seen at MoMA until January 7, 2013

Rekindling the flame! Hayden Panettiere receives a tender kiss from ex-boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko two months after splitting with her ex
It seems Hayden Panettiere does not believe in the phrase 'they are called your ex for a reason'.
As the actress has rekindled her romance with former beau Wladimir Klitschko.
For the second time in just a few weeks, the Nashville star jetted into Florida to see the boxer - and this time they were getting very close as they say in his car on Tuesday.
It's definitely back on: Hayden Panettiere received an affectionate kiss on her hand former her former flame Wladimir Klitschko on Tuesday in Miami
The romance has been rekindled: Hayden and Wladmir were seen singing to each other in the car
She's a happy girl: The Heroes actress beamed as she sat in the passenger's seat
Seated in the passengers seat as Wladimir took the wheel, the couple were seen singing along to songs that played on the stereo as they put their differences to one side.
Despite only splitting from her boyfriend of a year and a half, Scott McKnight, in December, Hayden appeared to be quite open with her affection towards the athlete.
In the photographs the petite blonde is seen looking adoringly up at Wladamir, smiling at him as they hold hands and journey through the street.
Dressed down: The make-up free beauty strutted along in a pair of blue comfy boots
Little and large: Loving the weather in Miami, Klitschko wore a pair of flip flop with striped trousers and a cotton top
Leading the way: Hayden pulled Klitschko's arm as she tried to direct their journey
Hand in hand: The pair cut an adoring figure as they walked side by side
The pair were still enjoying their romantic holiday on Tuesday but, having spotted the cameras, this time around, were careful not to be photographed together.
The 36-year-old Ukrainian showed off exactly how he won Hayden back by paddle boarding without a shirt on.
The six foot six sportsman wore black and yellow boardshorts, revealing his muscular frame as he easily lifted the large board with just one hand.
Holiday romance: On Tuesday the pair were in Miami but were careful not to be photographed together while enjoying the beach
Muscle man: The 36-year-old Ukrainian showed off exactly how he won Hayden back by paddle boarding without a shirt on
While Wladimir was out boarding, Hayden was being a good girlfriend and taking what is believed to be his new puppy for a walk.
The Nashville star seemed to be struggling to teach the dog to come when it is called and even picked it up and carried the dog when it refused to walk along.
The smiling 23-year-old showed off her petite physique in tight light blue jeans, knee high brown boots and a blue, white and red stripped knit jumper.
Good boy: The Nashville star spent her time at the beach training what is believed to be the boxer's pup
Snuggles: The 23-year-old cuddled up to the pup on Tuesday
The casual cutie wore her golden hair tied up in a unfussy bun.
Last month, Hayden denied she was back in the arms of her ex after he was seen dropping her to the airport.
When she landed in Los Angeles on January 11 she insisted to TMZ that the former couple were just good friends, but her giggly demeanour somewhat spelled otherwise.
'We've been friends for five years now, so we're just good buddies,' she told the website.
'I knew that was going to be the question! I was lassoed in.
Casual cutie: The blonde showed off her petite frame in tight light blue jeans and a knit sweater
Needs some practice: The dog did not obey the actress very well
the flame: Panettiere appeared to be in very good spirits as she played with the pooch
'You're making me uncomfortable,' she added with a laugh. '(We're) just good friends, good friends.'
Her reunion in Florida with Wladimir comes after the star split with former New York Jets star McKnight in December.
The actress and footballer had been dating since June 2011.
Scotty and Hayden began dating just one month after the actress split from fellow pro-athlete Klitschko.
She had been dating the Ukrainian sports star since 2009, but the pair ended their romance in 2011.
In a statement obtained by German magazine Bunte, Klitschko said they called time on their 18-month romance because it was difficult coping with having a long-distance relationship.
'Good friend': The Nashville star insists that the pair are just 'good friends'
Scream 4 actress Hayden's statement read: 'While we decided to split, we feel great sympathy and respect for each other and will surely stay close friends.'
Wladimir added: 'We have had a great time together. But more and more we realised how difficult it is to maintain a relationship when living on two continents.
'I cherish Hayden as a person and woman and I'm sure we will stay friends.'
The pair were seen as the odd couple as Klitschko towered over the 5ft 2in star at a whopping 6ft 6in.
The hot blonde has previously dated Welsh hunk Steve Jones, Entourage's Kevin Connolly, One Tree Hill actor Stephen Colletti and her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia.
Meanwhile, Hayden is up for a Golden Globe Award this Sunday after being nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film for her role in the hit TV series, Nashville.

The deluge of new drinks books continues! These eight recently-released books cover cocktails, both new and historical, whiskey and where it comes from, brandy specifically and all spirits generally.
How to Mix Drinks by Jerry Thomas (A New Cocktail Kingdom Edition)
Sporting a new cover from the $1.50 version of The Bar-Tender's Guide (the first reprint's cover was the $2.00 version), this new release provides additional articles in the appendix, reflecting historian David Wondrich's research on the life of the man some now consider the patron saint of bartenders. New documents – many of which are reviews of the book when it was first published – "add to the understanding of who Thomas was, what he did and what people thought about that," explains Wondrich, who also unearthed one central fact about Thomas: his birth date – October 30, 1830.
Brandy: A Global History by Becky Sue Epstein
Brandy chronicles the history of this spirit, traveling from medieval alchemists to present-day drink mixologists, and exploring brandy's production and consumption from the Middle Ages to today. Becky Sue Epstein reveals that many cultures have contributed to the history of the beverage, from the Dutch calling the drink "burnt wine" to the Spanish colonials in Peru and California who produced the first brandies in the New World. She also explores the distillation and aging processes, and she discusses the spirit's many varieties, including Cognac and the more overlooked Armagnac. In addition, Epstein offers advice on buying, storing, and serving brandy, while also providing recipes for both classic and new cocktails.
Distilled: From absinthe & brandy to vodka & whisky, the world's finest artisan spirits unearthed, explained & enjoyed by Neil Ridley and Joel Harrison
Note: This book doesn't come out until April 2015, so I received a super-early preview.
This book uncovers the best spirits the world has to offer. These are not necessarily the best-known examples on the planet, but the best crafted and most interesting. Spirit by spirit Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley explain what you need to know to appreciate a spirit - its ingredients, its classic forms, the choices a distiller makes in creating it - and offer their picks to 'Drink Before You Expire' - the world's best examples of their type, from gin and rum to shochu and tequila. There are plenty of suggestions for how to drink too, with cocktails and their insider tips on getting the best out of your spirits. Joel Harrison & Neil Ridley write about whisky on their website Caskstrength.net.
Whiskey Distilled: A Populist Guide to the Water of Life by Heather Greene
Whiskey drinkers—especially novices—are more confused than ever. Over the past decade, whiskey expert Heather Greene has been bombarded with thousands of questions, including: Can I have ice in my whiskey? Why is it sometimes spelled "whisky"? What makes bourbon different? As New York City's first female whiskey sommelier, Greene introduces audiences to the spirit's charms and challenges the boys' club sensibilities that have made whiskey seem inaccessible, with surprising new research that shows the crucial importance of "nosing" whiskey. In this guide, Greene uses bright visuals, an easy-to-read format, and the familiar vocabulary of wine to teach readers about whiskey and encourage them to make their own evaluations.

He includes recipes for drinks invented at his own bars—with mint, passion fruit, and fresh ingredients, they're always in high demand. Dymott explores the history of each drink—some spanning from eighth century Persia to the American South in the 1800s. Plus, he offers the tools needed to make each drink pro, the types of bars out there to emulate, and great stories from Dymott's fifteen years in the cocktail scene.
The South American Gentleman's Companion by Charles H. Baker
A follow-up to Baker's The Gentleman's Companion, The South American Gentleman's Companion: Being an Exotic Drinking Book takes the reader on a vicarious journey through South America to explore the drinks, food and people that Baker discovered on his travels. Through Baker's colorful prose, The South American Gentleman's Companion provides a glimpse at a globe-trotting gourmand's life in the mid-20th century, while St. John Frizell's introduction offers "A Look at the Book" and background on the author himself, garnered from four months following Baker's footsteps throughout South America and meticulously researching the story of this character.
The World Atlas of Whisky: Second Edition by Dave Broom
Whisky expert Dave Broom explores over 200 distilleries and examines over 400 expressions. Detailed descriptions of the Scottish distilleries can be found here, while Ireland, Japan, the USA, Canada and the rest of the world are given exhaustive coverage. There are tasting notes on single malts from Aberfeldy to Tormore, Yoichi (and coverage of the best of the blends).

This extrensively updated and extended edition features new material on burgeoning areas, including detailed coverage of many recently opened US craft distilleries, new distilleries in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and discussion of the growing whisky scene in Latin America.
These are seven newish drink books that have arrived at Alcademics HQ for your consideration. Most of the below descriptions come from the book blurbs and are not reviews, as I'm about 30 books behind on my reading list.
Nicholas Faith's Guide to Cognac by Nicholas Faith
(Not sure why this book is so expensive on Amazon; it's only 132 pages. The Kindle version appears to be free.)
Nicholas Faith's Guide to Cognac is a directory supplement to Nicholas's best-selling book Cognac: The story of the world's greatest brandy.
Bitter: A Taste of the World's Most Dangerous Flavor, with Recipes by Jennifer McLagan
Note: This is primarily a food book, though there are just a few drink recipes and Jeffrey Morgenthaler's recipe for tonic water syrup. There are also food recipes with bitter cocktail ingredients, including Fernet-Branca Chicken Livers.
In this deep and fascinating exploration of bitter through science, culture, history, and 100 deliciously idiosyncratic recipes—like Cardoon Beef Tagine, White Asparagus with Blood Orange Sauce, and Campari Granita—award-winning author Jennifer McLagan makes a case for this misunderstood flavor and explains how adding a touch of bitter to a dish creates an exciting taste dimension that will bring your cooking to life.

You only think you don't want it, but I've tried it and it's really good.
Anthony Parks from Bergerac in San Francisco made a drink inspired by deviled eggs at the Bombay Sapphire Most Imaginative Bartender competition 2015 San Francisco finals. It was crazy in a good way.
It has mustard, dill, lavender, and frothy egg whites, plus honey, gin, and lemon.
I've never had a hankering for picnic sides in liquid form before, but now I know better.
Queens Pearls

2oz Bombay Sapphire gin
.75oz Lemon juice
.5oz honey syrup
.5oz spiced mustard shrub
.5oz egg whites
Shake with ice and double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with lavender petals, fresh dill, and dashes of cherry bark vanilla biters.
Spiced Mustard Shrub
4 oz apple cider vinegar
5 oz super fine sugar
4 tablespoons spiced mustard
Saveur magazine has an insert in the June/July issue that is a mini-magazine called Drink. I wrote a handful of stories for it.
I'll post them as they show up online (get excited, ice fans!), but the first to appear is a story on ginger beer. It's a bit of history, a bit about the difference between ginger ale and beer, and several recipes for drinks that show how it goes with everything:
I'm not sure if the Chilcano (pisco) will appear anywhere, but that's a pretty easy one to figure out.
The main story with fun illustrated recipes as above is here.
Or to see the recipes written in normal format, you can follow this link.
For the May issue of Saveur Magazine, I wrote a small piece (accopmanied by big pictures) about drinks at Lebensstern, one of my favorite bars anywhere.
If you hadn't heard, your host Camper English is the Contributing Drinks Editor at Saveur Magazine now. Hooray!
The current January issue is the annual Saveur 100: "Our favorite places, tools, ingredients, cookbooks, recipes, restaurants, and more."
I have two small bits in the magazine. The first is on Amari (plural of Amaro) and cocktails to use them in.
Read the story with tasting notes here and the cocktail recipes are in slideshow format here.
For the cocktail recipes, I sourced them from:
Thanks fellas.
In my research on the Paloma I have come across many variations on the drink, so I thought I'd link to them here.
Typically the Paloma is made with tequila (always use 100% agave!), grapefruit soda such as Squirt or Jarritos, a squeeze of a lime wedge and a pinch of salt. Esquire's standard recipe is here. A version using fresh grapefruit and soda water is here.
Here are some Paloma variations from around the internet.

Paloma, Mi Amante by Paul Clarke - A Paloma using strawberry-infused tequila. [recipe]
Paloma Variation - A Paloma using IPA beer, plus tequila, grapefruit cordial, and lime. [mentioned here; no recipe]
Palomita - A Paloma without tequila; just using Coinreau, lime, and grapefruit. [recipe]

I have always felt like the word "epic" is way overdone. So I try not to use it a lot because if EVERYTHING is epic well than epic isn't so exciting anymore.
But just this once I have to use epic. Because the past few days in Tucson with Barb and Kim were truly epic in my opinion!
The trip started off well when I saw a certain Ironman World Champion roaming around the San Diego airport waiting on the same flight that I was taking to Tucson.
I wasn't going to say anything but then I couldn't help myself. She was incredibly approachable and kind and let me talk her ear off until we boarded our plane. (And don't ask why I was in San Diego when my destination was Arizona. Buying the cheapest tickets doesn't always result in the most direct flight pattern!)
Thursday was our first full day in Tucson and didn't involve a lot of training. We went to the noon masters practice at the University of Arizona where we swam long course meters outside in the sun in February. I think I was in heaven.
There are 3 pools in the complex. Pictures don't even do it justice. And I found a cute little friend at the pool (although he didn't like to be petted).
Going to a new masters practice always makes me a little nervous - what lane to swim in?, what will the practice be like?, are the people nice? - but luckily Barb and Kim are outgoing and make friends quickly and we fit in just fine. Did I tell you that it was so sunny I had a hard time seeing the pace clock?
Oh yes, Arizona and I were going to get along quite well...
On Thursday we also built our bikes, visited trisports.com, bought a mountain of food at the grocery store and planned for the coming days...
On Friday we woke early for the 6 am masters practice at U of A (imagine having so many practice options each day!) where we swam in the short course meters pool and watched the sun come up on our cooldown. I seriously had one of those "there is no place in the world that I'd rather be right now" moments. Many of those moments to come through the next several days.
And then once home from swimming we started our Mt. Lemmon adventure.
We weren't orginally going to climb Lemmon on Friday but it appeared from the weather forecast that Friday was our day as it was supposed to be the warmest (non-raining) day of the 3 full days we had remaining.
Lemmon is pretty epic in my opinion. I've not done a lot of other huge climbs but I think it would be kind of hard to top this one because of it's length. About 21 miles to the top and then another 4 or so (that are down and rolling) to the famed Cookie Cabin. It took a little less than 2.5 hours to get to the cookies (I had a few bonus miles in there because I got a little lost) and it was serious climbing! Also the weather - like I had heard from many people, it really is quite a bit colder at the top. As we climbed on and on it also got windier and windier adding to it's epic-ness. I was definitely glad to see this treat at the top! (along with some hot chocolate in an attempt to warm up :)
By the way, that's not a sandwich sized bag, that's a freezer bag and a regular sized plate (that you can't see because the cookie is THAT big).
I felt strong the entire way up Lemmon which was encouraging. Riding the trainer all winter long really gives me no concept of how fit I am on the bike. The first ride outside is always an eye opener but I was pleased!
5 hours and about 75 miles later, Kim, Barb and I pulled back into the condo parking lot with big smiles. First big day complete! (well complete after we ran off the bike for 30 minutes that is... :)
On Saturday morning we were at it again, first with a hill run workout of about 10 miles in length. Kim and I ran side by side for the entire run (except for when I took a little spill and was flat on my face in the dirt :) which I truly, truly enjoyed. Kim and I were XC and track teammates at Penn State and have run many, many a mile together. Although our lives have taken us through lots of ups and downs since that time, running together on Saturday morning brought me back 10 years when we first became friends. I was having another one of those "there is no place in the world that I'd rather be right now" moments again - this time realizing that although time has passed, Kim and I are still doing very much the same thing as when we were sophomores in college - chasing our dreams and our passions, side by side.
After cleaning ourselves up and refueling (and picking the cactus prickles out of my leg :), we headed out again on our bikes on Saturday afternoon. This time Cary, another MAOer (Kim, Barb, Cary and I were all on the MAO team at some point or another), joined us for the fun and games. We rode for 4 hours and about 70 miles and if Friday's ride was epic because of the climbing, Saturday's ride was surely epic because of the CRAZY (and I mean CRAZY) winds! We survived though (and there was only one mini meltdown when I had to stop NOW for food or else someone was picking me up in the car :).
I think Sunday was what was scaring us most of all - on tap was 6 hours on the bike with a 60 minute run off the bike - so Saturday night we made sure to fuel with lots of good Mexican food!
I've got to say - I've only ever ridden my bike 6 hours or more on 2 occasions and trust me when I say, on those 2 occassions, I did NOT ride 5 hours and 4 hours the previous two days! I had felt surprisingly good all weekend but Sunday would be the true test of mental and physical toughness in my book.
Sunday was supposed to be rain and cold (in the desert?) so we all dressed warmly, myself moreso than I thought I needed. In fact Barb had to convince me to wear leg warmers. So glad I did. I figured I would be taking clothes off left and right but in the end I really just wished I had MORE to wear. The desert does get cold!
Sunday's ride is kind of hard to put into words. It started off quite normally and again I felt good and strong and we rolled along in the Middle Of Nowhere, AZ for 3 hours out. It looked a lot like this for 60 miles:
We definitely had a tailwind on the way out but we also had climbed quite a bit at the start so I figured we didn't need to turn around any earlier than 3 hours. Quite a miscalculation on my part. The wind was stronger and the rather LOOOOOOONG descent we had after our huge ascent almost did us in.
Around 87 miles in, we stopped at a little market shop where three disheartened cyclists sat on a little bench inside eating Snickers bars and pondering the 35 miles we had left. I'm sure it was quite a sight as we looked like a mis-matched bunch of hobos! It wasn't even that my legs were that tired but my head was - tired of being cold and tired of my rotten gut and tired of the wind and my goodness, tired of being on my bike!
But this is where the teamwork truly kicked in. We worked together and although there weren't many smiles (more like gritting of teeth) we totally got the job done! 120 miles in 6:40 of riding. Definitely a bit of a positive split on that one but dang if I wasn't impressed with our ability to get the job done!
Of course the whole ride home I was thinking about that 60 minute run off the bike that I was supposed to do. And I have to admit - I totally flaked out on that one! I'm blaming the Diet Pepsi because once you throw down a cold one and eat a whole bunch of tortilla chips, running for an hour doesn't seem quite as fun as normal. :)
Me, pondering the epic-ness of Sunday's ride. Although not seen in the picture, Kim and Barb were close by in similiar poses. :)
WHEW! We did it!
On Monday morning I dropped Barb and Kim off at the airport early and was instantly sad! I had such a wonderful time with them - working hard, eating good food, listening to their stories (I have to work on my stories, I had nothing good for them) and of course laughing until our bellies hurt. We made quite a trio, that's for sure and I'm truly thankful that they took time out of their busy lives to join me on this adventure!
After dropping them off I headed to masters one last time, went back to the condo and did that 60 minute run I was supposed to do on Sunday (and it was awesome outside and I truly enjoyed it!) and then packed myself up for home.
Tucson, you truly were epic!
Unfortunately the epic didn't stop there because as I was flying home Pittsburgh was getting 10 inches of ice and snow. The Pittsburgh Airport closed for a bit so I ended up in Detroit. Ugh. We did finally manage to get home around 2 am Tuesday morning but then I spent about an hour trying to find my car in extended parking underneath about a foot of snow. Once found, my car doors wouldn't open because they were frozen shut. I seriously wanted to sit down in a snow bank and cry until daylight. Was it too late to catch a flight BACK to the sun and warmth of the southwest? :)
I made it home though and now I'm back to normal life. My bike has been reassembled and de-gunked (LOTS of sports drink and gels caked on there :) and my winter hat is back out!
What did I learn in Tucson? Well certainly that friends that love what you love are worth their weight in gold. That laughing can make even the most daunting of situations seem doable. That Snickers bars can save you when you still have 35 windy, cold miles until home.
I learned that my body is capable of much more than I ever imagined. 265 miles of riding with 3 swims and 3 runs thrown in there is something I've never even remotely attempted before. And it certainly scared me! But I was just fine and in my body handled it quite well.
And finally I RE-learned (because I definitely already knew this) that I am hugely blessed to be able to do this sport. My bike and these legs of mine have taken me all over the country to see such amazing sights and do amazing things - all while meeting wonderful people! I couldn't have asked for a better life. And that's probably the most epic thing of all.

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Touring 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 09/11 (2.0L 4cyl 5A)
BEST car ever invested with more appreciation to Mazda company than what I expected in other compact cars. NEVER will I own the cliche Toyota or plastic injected Hyundai. Forget about people saying "oh, you have to have car as reliable as Toyota or Honda.. BS. Any car in the Mazda line are much reliable and better built than family picnic Corolla, experimental Elantra, questionable crush proof Civic and BMA wanna-be Jetta also over-compensating interior light show Focus. Very glad to own a car that not what everyone on the road is whining about . I feel totally safe in this car than my Honda. I'd recommend this car to anyone and will continue to follow future Mazda's.

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Grand Touring 4dr Hatchback w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
We traded in a 2004 mazda 3 sedan for a 2012 mazda 3 i Grand Touring hatchback with all the options.
Also looked at the Focus Titanium and Subaru Impreza.
Both seemed like solid cars, but Focus was more expensive for similar specs, and we don't need the AWD (and slightly lower mpg) of the Impreza.
The Mazda hatchback has plenty of room in the hatch for a medium-size dog, and is still a fun-to-drive compact car.
Our mileage has been in the low 30's in mixed driving.

2012 Mazda Mazda3 s Grand Touring 4dr Hatchback (2.5L 4cyl 6M)
Have driven for a week now, love it. Traded a Prius with great mileage, for something I can enjoy, with 6-speed manual, I can shift, sun roof is great, interior and exterior are just cool.
Really like the car so far. Gas mileage seems decent so far, won't be on the Prius level, but willing to give up mileage for a bit of sportiness.

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I never thought I would be one of the "those' people that writes unhappy reviews but here I am.
1. The basic cloth seats look good, but they're hard as rock. I don't know if there was some switch-a-roo but my seat barely have any padding and I can feel the seat structure of the chair.
2. For a two week old car, it sure rattles a lot especially on the passenger side
3. There's an unusual humming noise coming from the middle of the car. It doesn't sound like idling or accelerating so I'm concerned.

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
Traded my 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT with 200k on it.
Great car and it got me 30mpg!
The only reason I got the Mazda3 sedan was for the 39mpg (manual trans).
So far, with 3k miles, I have been avg 38.2.
That's better than my last car but...
Pros: when in the right gear, it has some get up and go (for a 4cycl)
Bluetooth is great.
Works very well with iphone, hands free calls that are voice controlled are great, and streaming music.
Handles well, seems sporty
Of course the MPG is the real sell.
Cons: the seats are horrible!
I commute 1hr20min each way every day.
78miles each way every day adds up.
This is a huge deal for me.
The savings in gas is great but the seats suck!

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I love the new skyblue for skyactiv---a real standout from the silver, white & black cars you see on the road. I considered the new elantra, it was a sleek car and gets great mpg like the 3, but I was still biased towards the reliability of japanese cars. And the civic & corolla looked so plain---they were everywhere.
I have read some user reviews here about the sound they hear from the engine is a problem. When not used to something, it doesn't neccessarily mean it's broken. It has a new engine, so don't exepct old school appeal. It may make more noise to warm it up than a standard gas engine, but after that it's great. I tried the new impreza w/ cvt, the sound was weird but not broken.

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Touring 4dr Hatchback w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
2 weeks ago, I directly emailed to Mazda company with the problem. Then, the issue was transferred to the representative of the dearlership in which I bought, so they was informed by me that issue, and they drove the car with me, but they just explained that " problem is because of new SkyActive transmission, so we cannot sovle the problem fundamentally because the wierd sound is part of manufacture." So with disappointment, I returned to my home.... ....I live Philadelphia suburban area, which means I live in a little bit cold area, but the wierd sound is not related to the cold weather.........

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Touring 4dr Sedan w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I bought the 2012 Skyactiv engine, 4-door sedan a few weeks ago and I, hear weird engine noises. I would describe it as a whistling sound under the hood. I thought it was a serpentine belt issue, and took it back to the dealer. They told me I had to give the car 200-500 miles to break-in. I still heard the noise after 500 miles, so I took it back today. Now, they are saying the noise is coming from the electronic steering and is a normal sound. I don't believe this. I think it is a skyactiv issue and they really don't know how to fix this.

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Touring 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 09/11 (2.0L 4cyl 5A)
I purchased my 2012 Mazda iTouring a little over 2 months ago after selling my Acura tsx and I could not be happier. I am just about to his my 5,000 mile mark and so far it has been great!! I also am 6'3" and there is plenty of room for me in the drivers seat, but no one can sit behind me in the back. The car has plenty of "get-up-and-go" for getting on the highway. I have a family member who has a cx-9 that loves it and I test drove the three and I was set! One of my favorite cars I've had!! Also, the SkyActiv technology came out the week after i bought the car so I do not have it, but I average 35 mpg anyways.

2012 Mazda Mazda3 i Touring 4dr Hatchback w/SKYACTIV-G (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I bought 3 HB skyactiv 2.0 I touring a month ago. I drive city & hwy (60% & 40%), and get Average 36MPG, which is good.
But, When I drive, I hear a very odd sound, that is heard like "Tirrrrr ttirrrirrrrrrr". It is not normal engine sound, it is extra abnormal sound. Especially in low speed, and at stop sign, that sound is very annoying.
I told that problem to dearlership, but they couldn't find out the problem, and didn't fix it.
I like eternal design and six speed auto transmission, but I don't want to recommend this vehicle to my friend.
