Not Good Enough...
This is the hardest blog entry I've had to write in the past three years. I went into today with a 35 point cushion on Rob Crane and a 40 point cushion on Brad Funk in our US Olympic Trials. All I had to do was be within five places of Rob and stay four places or more in front of Brad, and I would be going to the Olympics.
We sailed two races in about 4-8 knots and chop. The breeze was from the sea breeze direction, but it took it's time to fill in. In the first race, I had a good start at the boat and tacked out to the right. The right looked good early in the sea breeze, and I was leading the charge over there. A few minutes after the start a boat to leeward of me tacked quickly on to starboard. At first I was surprised he tacked, then I thought I could cross him, but at the last second I realized I couldn't and fouled. He started screaming "protest" and I had to do a 720 penalty turn. All of a sudden I was in the back of the fleet. When the breeze is light and the track is short with many laps (we sailed three lap trapezoids on shorter courses) it's very difficult to catch up. I ended up 41st in the first race. To make matters worse, Rob ended up winning the race and Brad was in the low 20s.
Determined to be more aggressive in the second race, and knowing that the points were close, I started right at the favored pin end of the line. I had an awesome start, winning the pin, and sailing to the left. I was winning the race, and Rob and Brad were in the middle in not that great of a spot. I sailed out on starboard until I got pretty headed, tacked and crossed the fleet in first place. As I sailed into the middle, the breeze got lighter for me and pressure filled on the sides. I hitched back to the left for the pressure, but couldn't get to it in time. Finally, at the top a righty came in which hurt. I rounded in the 20s and could only climb back to 21st in the race.
Rob Crane had a 1-2 on the day to stage a massive comeback and win our US Olympic Trials. I have to give him credit because he had an amazing day on the water. He played the first beats very well and was 1st and 5th at the two weather marks. From there, he just stayed in front and did what he had to do. I ended the regatta in 23rd place and ended up beating Brad on a tie-breaker to take 2nd in the US Trials.
But if you're not first, you're last....
Another Atypical Day in Perth
Today was the first day of Gold fleet racing, and we sailed two races in a shifty, puffy 5-15 knot offshore breeze. In the first race I had a great start near the boat and played the middle right. I was a little out of phase at the top, and I ended up rounding in about 20th. I was able to pick off a few boats throughout the race and ended up with a 13th, which is a keeper in Gold fleet!
In the second race, I liked the left side of the course. I had another good start in the middle-pin area and sailed off the line on the lifted tack. I had good speed and was looking to lead the group back from the left, when the breeze kept shifting right and right. The beat turned into 80% starboard tack, and I was hung out to dry. I rounded in the deep 30s and tried to catch up, but I made a mistake on the second beat by sailing in the middle. There was much more pressure on both sides, and I kind of got swallowed up by the fleet. I ended the race with a 44, which is fortunately my drop!
Tomorrow is a lay day and then we have two final races on Saturday before the medal race on Sunday.
Two Keeper Scores on Last Day of Qualifying
Today was a very tricky day on the water. I was in Yellow fleet today, and as luck would have it, I started third again! After a short postponement ashore for my fleet, I headed out in what looked like a light sea breeze. The sea breeze never really came in though, and the breeze dropped from 10-12 at first to 5-6 for the most part of the day. It was light, very lumpy, and very shifty.
In the first race, I had a mediocre start in the middle and was bounced around a bit before rounding in the low 20s. I had an ok downwind, passing a few boats, and then headed for more pressure out on the left. I was able to get some pressure and big left shift to pass a lot more boats and move into 9th place at the weather mark! The race became a bit of a parade after that since there were too many fleets on the course to move the marks enough. I ended up with an 8th.
In the second race, I really liked the pin and decided to get a bit more aggressive on the line. I won the pin end and was looking great! A few hundred yards off the line, there was a big left shift and pressure and all the boats above me were pointed at my stern. I tacked and crossed the fleet, pointed at the next mark. A few boats went behind me and further into the lefty. As we sailed across the beat, the wind went further left, and I ended up rounding in 4th. I was duking it out with some guys around there, but I think we all hurt each other a bit too much and allowed a few guys to catch up. What could have been a race for a top three or four turned into a six person battle for 3rd. I missed a puff on the last beat to fall back to 7th. I passed one on the reach and held on to 6th at the finish.
It was a tough day out there, and a lot of people put up some high numbers. Tomorrow starts Gold Fleet racing, and with the points so close, I'm looking to have some more good races to move up a bit more.
Tricky Day Two
Today was the second day of the World Championships, and once again, I was in the fleet that started last. I sailed out in a cloudy, stormy 10 knots and waited for the first two fleets to finish their race before starting mine.
My race was anywhere from 5-15 knots. I had an ok start in the middle and quickly tacked to port, leading the fleet to the right. I was looking good as the guys on my hip all started to cave, but it was so choppy and light that whoever was in the brief pressure looked best. I ended up rounding in about 12th, but it was pretty crowded. On the first downwind, I got nervous that the course-right side had more pressure, so I sailed all the way over there. But by the time I got there, the cloud had gone by and I was in less breeze. I went right for more pressure on the second beat, but a huge lefty and pressure came in, and I struggled to get back. I tried to gain as much as I could, but could only claw back to 25th by the finish. It was a weird, unpredictable, and tricky race!
In the second race, the breeze was up more which made it easier to use my speed. I had another ok start in the middle and crossed to the left. At the top mark, I found myself in about 10th. The top four boats pulled away from the fleet, and I was in a group from 5th-12th. I had a good first wind to move up to 6th, and then I bounced around there for the rest of the race before finishing in 6th.
It's been weird so far in Perth. No "Doctor" sea breeze, but instead two stormy, rainy days. It was very unstable today.
Two more races tomorrow before we split into Gold-Silver-Bronze for Thursday.
Solid Opening Day at the Worlds
Today was the first day of the World Championships in Perth, Australia. I was in Red Fleet and waited until the other two fleets finished their races before starting mine. There was a bit of uncertainty in the morning about the start time which lead to a couple hours at the boat park. At 1:15 we finally headed out to the course for a 2:45 first start. By the time we started, the breeze was 15-18 knots with big waves. There were also lightning and thunderstorms all around us today! It was wet and windy!
In my first race, I had a good start near the boat, but there was a big lefty early in the race. I tacked out underneath the group from the pin and played the middle right. At the top, I got passed by boats from both sides and rounded in the low 20s. I had a great rest of the race and picked off a few boats each leg to claw my way back to a solid 8th!
After the first race, the breeze picked up into the low 20s. The pin was a little favored, but the group was really pushing the line. I started above the group and had great speed off the line. I was in the top five most of the way up the beat, but got a little out of phase at the top to round in 10th. I had an awesome downwind to move into 5th place. I stayed in 5th for the rest of the race.
Overall, it was a solid first day. Two more races are scheduled for tomorrow.
Short-listed for Rolex Yachtsman of the Year; Ready for Racing in Perth!
I received some exciting news a couple days ago when I learned that I was short-listed for the 2011 Rolex Yachtsman of the Year award! It's a huge honor to be mentioned alongside some of the best sailors in the United States, and it was nice to be recognized for the good year I've had on the water. Here's the press release.
Back to the task at hand: The big day is almost here! On Monday, the Laser World Championship starts in Perth, Australia. This regatta is important for a lot of reasons. Primarily, this regatta is the second half of the US Olympic Trials. The results from this regatta, coupled with the results from the Sail For Gold Regatta in Weymouth, England, last summer, will select the sole US representative for the Olympics next year. At the Sail For Gold Regatta, Brad Funk, Rob Crane, and I were all pretty close, so the spot is still up for grabs next week.

Secondly, this event is the first opportunity to qualify our country for the Olympics. The top 35 countries at the Worlds will qualify their country, while the remaining spots will be given out at next year's Worlds in Germany in May.
Finally, this regatta is for the World Championship. Not only will this be the most competitive regatta of the year, but I think this Worlds will be the most competitive regatta of the quad. While the Olympics is always a challenging event for many reasons, the Worlds features multiple sailors from the same country. Moreover, this regatta plays a role in every country's Olympic aspirations, so I expect it to be tough!
I've been in Perth for almost a month now, so I've had plenty of time on the water, in the gym, and on my bike. I've said before, the training before the Worlds is the best anywhere because all of the top guys are here and sailing every day. Last week, for example, we were doing rabbit start races with almost 100 of the best Laser sailors in the world! It was a sight to see!

I'm feeling ready for the event, and I'm anxious for it to start. It's been a long campaign, but one I've enjoyed thoroughly and hope that I can prolong! Because I'm at the ISAF Worlds, an event that happens once every quad, all of the classes are here for their World Championships. They've divided the regatta into two halves, with the Radials, Finns, Men's 470, and Women's RSX classes sailing the first week, and the Lasers, Stars, Women's 470, Men's RSX, and 49er sailing the second week. So watching and waiting for the other classes to finish their regatta has been interesting. It's cool to track the results and cheer on my US teammates in the World Championship, but at the same time, it's made me want to get going with my own event.
So I'm anxious to get going! Check back on Monday for an update after racing!
Update From Perth
I've been in Perth for over two weeks now, and the training has been going really well. For the most part, we've had between 15-25 knots out of the sea breeze direction. We have seen a few days where it's been really hot out which has lead to a stronger offshore breeze in the morning and a lighter sea breeze in the afternoon. The bottom line is I'm still expecting a windy Worlds, but I wouldn't be surprised if we had a day or two of light to medium breeze.
I say it every year, but the training before the worlds is the best you will ever get. Everyone is arriving early and training hard, and after a few line ups and speed-testing on the way to the race course, we all get together for a few races as a group. It's really cool to compare speed with all of the top sailors in a low-key setting before the event starts.
On Friday, December 2nd, there will be an opening ceremonies that we're all attending. In fact, the regatta organizers are making it "mandatory" by shutting down all of the venues until 3 PM so people don't skip it to practice. All of the athletes are going to be ferried up the Swan River and into Perth city in their team uniforms for the ceremonies. It should be pretty cool!
Later this weekend, we get our event boats as part of the early charter program. I'll have access to my event boat for the week or so before the regatta starts, which will be nice to get used to. This year the boats will be assigned based on ISAF ranking, so our sail numbers will be our world rankings at the time of the registration list. We'll also get American Flag stickers to put on our sails so that it will be really spectator friendly.
The city of Perth and Fremantle have done a great job preparing for this event. Everything is running smoothly so far, and I'm ready to get racing! 12 more days until my event starts!

Happy Thanksgiving from Down Under!
Perth Training
After a 36 hour trip from NYC to Perth, Australia, I arrived last Monday night. On Tuesday I retrieved my Laser that I purchased last year and left in Perth and prepped that for practice. Then I went to the gym for a workout and worked on getting over the jet lag. Perth is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, so it's pretty much the exact opposite schedule for being awake and asleep. It's tough to get used to!
Since last Wednesday, I've been sailing, working out, and biking quite a bit. A typical day for me is waking up at about 8 AM and having some breakfast. Then I head to the gym for either a workout or a bike ride. I come home for a quick shower and a bite to eat before heading down to the Fremantle Sailing Club at about 11. After rigging and getting changed, I head out on the water from about 12-3 with the group of international Laser sailors who are here training. We typically do some speed tests and line-ups before setting a course and doing about three medium sized windward-leeward races. Then I head in, de-rig, shower and sort out my gear, and come home for some food and relaxation.
The conditions have been exactly what I've expected: we've had about 20 knots with medium sized waves, temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s, and lots of sun.
Everything has been going really well, and I'm enjoying my time down under. On Thursday, a bunch of Laser sailors are getting together for a Thanksgiving dinner, so it'll be nice to be with some friends and eat some Turkey.
The plan is to continue to train for the next few weeks before tapering for the regatta which starts on December 12th!
Off to Perth!
Since returning home from the Pan American Games a few weeks ago, I've taken some time off from sailing while still working out in the gym and on my road bike. Over Halloween, I went up to Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead, MA, to sail in the Halloween Team Race. What a difference a week makes! The week before I was sailing my Laser in 95 degrees and light air in Mexico, and over Halloween I was sailing a Sonar in 30 degrees and very windy conditions in Massachusetts. The event was a lot of fun and was a nice change of pace from the Laser scene.
On Saturday, I start the long trip to Perth, Australia. My route is JFK to Dubai, Dubai to Perth and should take about 35+ hours door-to-door. I'm pretty sure Perth is about as far away from NJ as possible. Once there, I'm going to start training for about a month. Then I'll sail the World Championships which starts on December 12th and will serve as our final qualifier for the Olympics. It's amazing how quickly the past three years have gone by, but I'm ready for the event to start!
Check back for updates on my training in Perth!

Wild View From Inside A Water Bubble In The Microgravity of Outer Space
If you spent your childhood dreaming you would grow up to be an astronaut and didn't, this video will make you want to take out a loan to get one of those 20 newly available reservations on the first Virgin Galactic space flight. This past summer 2014, on the International Space Station during Expedition 40, astronauts recorded their exploration of water surface tension in microgravity. Pushing a Go-Pro Camera into a softball sized ball of floating water, they got a view from inside the bubble as well. They also recorded the wild phenomenon with a 3-D camera, another version you can view here if you have stereoscopic red/blue 3-D glasses. [Read more…]

A "SMART" Car Tunnel that Diverts Flood Waters
How does a major metropolitan city and its transportation systems deal with monsoon weather each year? You build a tunnel that can take the floodwater when it comes and then drain it out. The city of Kuala Lumpur did such an engineering feat and called it SMART Tunnel (Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel). Instead of losing hundreds of millions of dollars due to the flash floods that halt parts of the city, the SMART tunnel allows for citizens to get where they need to in the event of such weather.

A Splash of Life: Creatures Get Liquefied
"Water is my element!" states German digital artist and photographer B-O-K-E on his deviantART page. Although he does not reveal much about himself, other than the equipment he uses and his Taurus zodiac sign, even masking his face in his profile picture, his photo manipulations are certainly refreshing. He transforms mammals and insects into the very molecule they depend on for survival: water. His works are like an homage to this liquid foundation of life- exploding, splashing, and dripping off of the creatures it has formed. [Read more…]

In Facebook IPO, Frenzy, Skepticism (WSJ)
Michael Belanger, a lawyer from Oklahoma City, invests his personal money in the stock market. But he will be skipping Facebook's IPO because he thinks its valuation is totally "out of whack." Scott Schermerhorn, chief investment officer of investment-management firm Granite Investment Advisors, says the hype around Facebook's IPO is going to keep his firm away. "It's a cult stock," he says. Little of that skepticism is weighing on three investors, tracked by The Wall Street Journal since Facebook announced in February that it would go public. Jim Supple was driving with his daughter Jade last autumn, when she turned to him and said, "Daddy, can I buy some of the Facebook company?" Mr. Supple, 47, had been teaching Jade about investing in the stock market for years. He started putting money for her in stocks like eBay and Disney when she was a baby. But the request still took him aback. "How do you know about buying Facebook?" he asked. "I saw in the news that they were going to be selling parts of the company," she responded. "Can we buy some?" Since then, Mr. Supple has been trying to find a way to take $25,000 he has saved for her college fund and purchase Facebook stock. "She doesn't need this money for another eight years," says Mr. Supple. "If it goes the Google route, I'll be in good shape."
JPMorgan Said To Weigh Bonus Clawbacks After Loss (Bloomberg)
The lender can cancel stock awards or demand they be repaid if an employee "engages in conduct that causes material financial or reputational harm," JPMorgan said in its annual proxy statement. The company will claw back pay if it's appropriate, said one of the executives, who asked not to be identified because no decisions have been made. The incident, which led to Drew's retirement yesterday, may test JPMorgan's claw-back policy amid mounting investor criticism over Wall Street pay practices and as regulators investigate the trades.
JPMorgan Moves To Protect Dimon (WSJ)
The board backs Mr. Dimon and the way he quickly admitted and sought to fix the bank's mistakes, according to this person. "We made errors, and we are going to take care of it," Mr. Dimon told fellow directors during a conference call last week, the person said. "This was bad thinking. This was stupid."
Euro Chiefs May Offer Leniency to Greece (Bloomberg)
Calling talk of a Greek pullout from the euro "nonsense" and "propaganda," Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker said only a "fully functioning" Greek government would be entitled to tinker with the conditions attached to 240 billion euros ($308 billion) of rescue aid.
Man Spends $60,000 In Custody Battle Over Dog Knuckles (CBS)
Dershowitz, 34, said he considers Knuckles to be his son, and that although he's gone through his life savings, he said it's worth it. In papers filed earlier this year in Manhattan state Supreme Court, Dershowitz said ex-girlfriend Sarah Brega "kidnapped" Knuckles after they broke up. Brega said Dershowitz gave her the puggle pup — half pug, half beagle. Dershowitz started the website Rescue Knux to raise money for the custody fight. For $250, contributors can play fetch with Knuckles. For $10,000, Legends of Graffiti will do a giant, personalized mural. Dershowitz made an emotional video plea and posted the following on his site: I know it might sound funny and I understand that. If it wasn't so painful, I would be laughing too (I mean, c'mon – dognapp – really?) but this is very serious to me and I miss him a lot. Enough that I have gone into debt to retrieve him and enough that I am on here asking for your help. I need the money to keep fighting the court battle. She comes from a wealthy family that is backing her. I don't. She keeps filing crazy, frivolous motions just knowing that I can't afford to respond even after the judge has ruled in my favor. The courts gave me custody already but, sadly, the system is too complex and expensive to make anything that simple and easy. I need help bringing my boy home…where he belongs…for good."
Dick Bove: No Reason to Break Up Big Banks (CNBC)
JPMorgan's much ballyhooed $2 billion loss is no reason to ramp up regulations, noted bank analyst Dick Bove said Monday. "I don't think there's any reason to break up the big banks," he told CNBC. "Particularly if a bank can earn $18 billion a year and $22 billion the next year, why in heaven's name would you say it can't be run?"
Sanders Sees Conflict With Dimon on New York Fed Board (Bloomberg)
Senator Bernard Sanders said he sees a conflict with JPMorgan Chase Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon serving on the board of directors at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, JPMorgan's regulator. "It is an obvious conflict of interest," Sanders, an Independent from Vermont, said today in an e-mail response to a question from Bloomberg News. "This is a clear example of the fox guarding the henhouse."
Chesapeake Loan Jars Bond Investors (WSJ)
"This loan was priced very attractively" for lenders, said Sabur Moini, manager of a $2.5 billion high-yield-bond portfolio at Payden & Rygel, adding that turmoil in Chesapeake's bonds was largely "self-inflicted." Investor confidence was shaken by the loan, he said, but it has also been dented by other factors, including controversy over CEO Aubrey McClendon's pledging his stakes in company wells as collateral to secure loans with companies that do business with Chesapeake.
Rajat Gupta Opposes U.S. Request to Limit Defense at Trial (Bloomberg)
Prosecutors had sought to bar Gupta from speculating before the jury about the government's motives in bringing the case. They also said evidence of Gupta's past charitable contributions and the purported damage the case has had on his reputation aren't relevant. "The government attempts to hamstring the defense," Gupta's lawyers said in a court filing today. "Mr. Gupta's charitable activities are a large component of his background and a critical element of who he is as a person."
Increase in Customer Base Helps Groupon Narrow Loss (AP)
Groupon said Monday that its net loss was $11.7 million, or 2 cents a share, in the January-March period. It posted a loss of $146.5 million, or 48 cents a share, in the first quarter of 2011 when it was still privately held. Excluding special items such as stock-compensation expenses, Groupon earned 2 cents a share in the latest quarter, matching Wall Street's estimates. Revenue grew 89 percent to $559.3 million from $295.5 million a year earlier.
Cops bust man smuggling cocaine at JFK (NYP)
A drug smuggler packed his stash of cocaine inside sticks of deodorant, ink markers and hundreds of buttons — only to be busted by alert customs officers at JFK Airport who noticed a strong odor coming from his suitcase, authorities said today…The items with cocaine hidden inside included 16 markers, 17 sticks of Dove and Odorex deodorant, 24 bottles of nail polish, and about 684 buttons.

Mr. Supple, please contact us re; your investment in Facebook. We think Jade has shown immense vision with her investment advice, and would like to offer her a position with our wealth management group.
Do you want fries with that?
But none of them can lick peanut butter like Buster can!

Jim's decision to invest his daughter's college fund in Facebook stock seems fairly consistent with the decision to name his daughter Jade Supple.

Oh come on, they're supposed to just have ZERO variance? <1% move over a month isn't that absurd. Besides, they're basically just making a long bet on US credits — its basically the same as holding a portfolio of corporate bonds w/o the interest rate risk (which seems like a good idea considering rates have nowhere to go but up).
What would you instead do with $360bn where you could make an actual return and never lose 1% on the portfolio? I don't even think Madoff claimed he could pull off such a magic trick…

When Michael Vujovich, chef and owner of 2-year-old Bistro Baffi, emerges from his kitchen, as he often does, it's with all the brio of a Commedia dell'Arte character. He's tall and rangy; his chef whites are speckled with his signature pink sauce, and his long arms gesture like a clock gone crazy. His fabulously twirled whiskers inspired the restaurant's name; baffi in Italian means mustache.
Bistro Baffi sits in the crux of a Burien strip mall between a hair salon and a Handi-mart, buffered from the parking lot by hefty planters brimming with blooms. The interior is ripe for romance, with pink marble tables and wainscoted, tomato-red walls covered with sunny depictions of coastal Montenegro, where Vujovich got his start in the restaurant business.
He cooks from a familiar Italian repertoire, but the restaurant's many regulars are drawn as much, I suspect, by the force of his personality and the ministrations of his engaging staff as by the quality of the food.
West Seattleites who know Vujovich from the Beach House Cafe turn up at Bistro Baffi and are greeted with bear hugs. He's a raconteur who lavishes compliments. "I like the way you eat!" he tells one table, clinking wine glasses all around. Carrying a candlelit tiramisu (it's terrific) he leads a chorus of "Happy Birthday."
He showed up at our table with apologies. They were out of a $32 Ripasso Valpolicella we had ordered. He insisted we have a 1999 Barolo for the same price (a fraction of what Barolo typically sells for). He was already pulling the cork, assuring us we would love it.
We didn't love it, but it was acceptable for the price. I noticed the same wine displayed on several tables. It's not on the list but on a subsequent visit our waiter mentioned it was a featured bottle, quoting a price of $48.
Wild king salmon is a frequent special. A waiter paraded a raw fillet around the room on a plate rimmed with slices of red and yellow pepper, summer squash, eggplant and baby bok choy. We took the bait. The carefully broiled fish dressed simply with wine, capers and a touch of lemon was a joy. But the vegetables, doused with olive oil, were so indifferently cooked some were nearly raw. The never-mentioned price tag: $35.
That's a jump even from the menu's top-price entree, a somewhat chewy veal piccata ($28), similarly sauced but with a surfeit of lemon juice. And it's nearly twice the price of a dull, sage-deprived chicken saltimbocca ($17).
Bistecca Romana was well worth its $25 tariff. Ignore the menu description that says "thin sautéed beef tenderloin." The impressive prosciutto-wrapped fillet I enjoyed was a good 2 inches thick, cooked precisely medium-rare and moistened with a red-wine pan sauce. But whole garlic cloves scattered among the standard-issue veggies were, like the eggplant and peppers, far from cooked.
Many customers opt for salad and pasta. Insalata al'gusto was fresh and lovely: tender lettuces ringed with ripe pear and Roma tomato, sprinkled with toasted pecans, cranberries and sweet Gorgonzola, and glistening with balsamic vinaigrette.
Several pastas and risottos incorporate the house signature "spicy pink sauce," a frothy blend of tomatoes, champagne and cream, zingy with herbs and spice. But an overdose of pink sauce one evening resulted in risotto so soupy the scallops were practically bobbing.
Our party of three decided to share spaghetti pescatore, but Vujovich thought differently. He personally delivered not one but three brimming bowls. "You each must have your own," he decreed. "I divided it so you wouldn't fight over it."
And we might have. It was sensational, with firm noodles tucked beneath a profusion of clams, mussels, bits of fin fish and a fat prawn, all of it drenched in a wine-rich tomato sauce, heady with garlic and herbs, packing just enough peppery heat.
We were still slurping when the chef reappeared. "I just wanted to see your happy faces." I think he really meant it. But he was eyeing the seafood, not us.

Perhaps Germany's hottest export since schnitzel, Heidi Klum started her supermodel ascent at 18 with a national modeling contest win. After strutting around Europe, she — and the breasts she nicknamed Hanz and Franz — moved to Manhattan in 1993. She booked the 1998 cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue. The Victoria's Secret stunner and fragrance creator dabbled in in TV and film ("Spin City," "Ella Enchanted," "Blow Dry." Her love life is an international mixed bag. A 1997 first marriage to hairstylist Ric Pipino ended amicably in 2002 and was followed by dating Red Hot Chili Pepper Anthony Kiedis. Within nine months of started a 2003 fling with Italian multimillionaire Flavio Briatore, she was expecting her first kid. They split a few months before daughter Leni was born, but British singer Seal was already her boyfriend. A few weeks after the fashion design competition she hosts, produces and won an Emmy for, Project Runway, debuted in 2004, Seal proposed in a snow cave. They married in 2005 and have three children (sons Henry and Johan, daughter Lou Sulola). Considering they renewed vows every year, wore couples costumes to her annual Halloween ball and did a televised duet, their 2012 split was shocking. The newest "America's Got Talent" judge rebounded with bodyguard Martin Kirsten until January 2014.

Free access to special issue of Deep-Sea Research Part II
Harmful Algae in the Gulf of Maine: Oceanography, Population Dynamics, and Toxin Transfer in the Food Web
This entire special issue is free to access online until 31 January 2015.
This special issue presents the results of 5 years of research undertaken by a multi-investigator program, GOMTOX (Gulf of Maine Toxicity), formulated and funded through the NOAA ECOHAB program.
The Gulf of Maine (GOM) in the northwest Atlantic supports highly-productive shellfisheries. These fisheries are vulnerable to contamination by toxigenic Alexandrium fundyense blooms and outbreaks of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), as well as blooms of the toxic Pseudo-nitzschia species that can cause amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP).
This contamination has resulted in large areas of federal waters being closed indefinitely or their shellfish beds underexploited because of the potential risk these toxins pose and the lack of scientific understanding and management tools. The GOMTOX program aimed to investigate the patterns and mechanisms underlying harmful algal blooms and the resulting toxicity in shellfish in the southern GOM and its adjacent New England shelf waters.
This volume consists of a series of papers describing the results of the GOMTOX program, which constitute 26 of the 69 GOMTOX papers to date.
Scientific themes covered in the volume include: (1) cysts and sediment dynamics; (2) ecology and bloom dynamics; (3) the physical/chemical setting; (4) toxin dynamics, food web transfer, and monitoring; and (5) management implications.

Last night after attending BarCamp Ireland I went to a surprise 40th birthday party with Jacinta. It was a blast, great fun and I was able to have a few drinks because I wasn't driving! (Thanks Sheila for taking care of that!)
There are lots more photos from the night but they're going up somewhere private for the birthday girl and any of our friends who want to view them. Happy birthday Bobbi!
I just loved the way the shadows fell on the blind behind the hanging birthday decorations. This is a bit of an experiment for me because I added a thick black border around the image. Do you like it?

Editor Rating: VERY HOTTTTT
User Rating:
Fat Trel drops a new "Shhh" remix with Rick Ross, Meek Mill, and Tracy T.
New MMG signees, Fat Trel and Tracy T take on Mike WiLL Made It's punishing "Sh!t" instrumental with a little help from the label's vets.
Meek Mill and Rick Ross cover the last half of the track, sounding more than comfortable over Future's hard-hitting track, before the Plutonian himself shows up to do his stuttered refrain.
Quotable lyrics:
"30 in the clip catch the whole thing/ feds know a nigga by his whole name/ shoot him in his head for his gold chain/ you was runnin' ball/ we was sellin' cocaine"

As I eliminated more things from my diet (e.g. meat and dairy) I had to adjust to having fewer options when I go out. Not the end of the world, but a minor inconvenience at times nonetheless.
In our area the only dairy alternative offered by most coffee shops is soy milk, but I try to avoid the stuff due to the high probability of it being genetically modified (thanks Monsanto!) and because it's known to be an endocrine disruptor (bad news for those of us with thyroid issues). It can be frustrating, but you learn to order your coffee black and move on with your life.
Every so often I encounter the rare unicorn of the coffee industry, the almond milk latte, and have to hold myself back from doing a happy dance right there in front of the barista. Slowly but surely more places are starting to offer almond milk as an option, but it's still pretty rare. I was thrilled to find a chain of coffee shops here in Metro Detroit that have it on the menu!
Peet's Coffee & Tea has locations in Commerce, Rochester Hills, Novi, Shelby Township, Royal Oak, Grosse Pointe, and Ann Arbor, and all of their coffee drinks can be made with almond milk!
[Insert happy dance here]
Where else have you found almond milk lattes in Michigan? If you live elsewhere, are they easy to find?

All Invited for Wagon Train Arrival at State Capitol;
Special Guest Will Be ND Governor Jack Dalrymple
Governor Dennis Daugaard and North Dakota Governor Jack Dalyrymple will greet the South Dakota 125th Anniversary of Statehood Wagon Train as it arrives at the State Capitol in Pierre around 11:00 a.m., Saturday, September 20.
The public is welcome to attend and visit with the wagon train travelers and the horse riders who made the 258 mile journey from the Territorial capital of Yankton to the State capital of Pierre in 17 days.
Governor Daugaard said, "We hope children and young people will come to see the wagon trains and learn about how people traveled and lived in the 1800s."
A brief ceremony is scheduled to begin on the front steps of the Capitol around 11:30 a.m. Governor Daugaard will present North Dakota Governor Dalrymple a special set of flags from the two states that were flown over the replica of the Dakota Territory Capitol in Yankton earlier this month and then traveled with the wagon train to Pierre for the occasion.
The Mount Rushmore Mascots will also be on the capitol grounds.
Capitol Avenue in front of the Capitol building will be closed for the wagon train's arrival. Ree Street and Nicollet Avenue will remain open. People are urged to use Broadway Avenue to approach the Capitol and park in the north parking lot. Personal lawn chairs are welcome.
Historic Wagon Train Route Finalized
Pierre, S.D. - The route is set for the historic wagon train that will celebrate South Dakota's 125th anniversary of statehood. The wagon train will start in Yankton, home of the Dakota Territory Capital, on September 3 and end at the State Capitol in Pierre on September 20.
Wagon train organizer Gerald Kessler of Fort Pierre has participated in over ninety wagon trains. He said, "Traveling in a wagon train for 15-17 miles a day is hard work, but it's also a lot of fun making new friends on the ride and along the route."
The route includes stops in 13 towns and several pastures as the wagon train makes its way on roads and cross country.
Each evening along the way, local landowners and historians will present a history of that local area. Communities and civic groups will be sponsoring evening meals and events so local people and students can see the wagon train up close and visit with wagon train participants.
The wagon train is being sponsored by the South Dakota Draft Horse and Mule Association. The cost is $125 per participant who can then ride any or all of the 17 days of the journey. The wagon train will supply a wagon master, outriders, toilets, water and buses to move vehicles each evening. The participants must supply their own equipment, animals, food, livestock feed and other traveling necessities. All fees and donations will be used to defray the costs of the wagon train.

Last year, a one-year cut in the payroll taxes that working Americans pay to finance Social Security was enacted in the name of so-called economic "stimulus."
But, like the rest of the economic stimuli that have come from Washington over the last three years, the only thing that has been stimulated is the growing hole of national debt into which we sink deeper and deeper.
Now, unsurprisingly, our president and his Democratic colleagues want to continue, and possibly expand, this payroll tax holiday despite its obvious failure.
Wait a second: Failure is a matter of definition.
If the point was to help get our economy back on the road to growth and prosperity, the payroll tax holiday has been a failure. But if the point of the payroll tax holiday was not to reduce government interference in our lives but to keep it, grow it, and strengthen the decided movement of the last three years to turn our nation into a welfare-state plantation, it's a great idea.
That is really what is going on here and why President Barack Obama and his Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill love the idea.
Unlike our income taxes that government takes for general revenue and unspecified spending, the payroll tax is earmarked and specified. It pays for Social Security.
A cut in income taxes, even if not accompanied with an equivalent cut in government spending, puts the pressure for such cuts in place and carries with it the prospect of reduction of government interference in our lives.
But there is no such possibility with the payroll tax. When the tax was reduced "temporarily" last year from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent, were working Americans asked to agree to an equivalent cut in their Social Security benefits that that payroll tax pays for?
Of course not.
What politician in his or her right mind would suggest to working Americans that they intend to cut Social Security benefits?
But cutting the payroll tax is a dream idea for anyone whose project is turning our nation into a welfare state.
This is because, unlike the income tax, which almost half Americans don't pay, practically every working man and woman pays the payroll tax.
And, what the payroll tax pays for, Social Security, is impossible to cut.
So, if the payroll tax is cut, you have to find another way to pay for those Social Security retirement benefits.
So how about rich people?
Democrats would like for super high-income earners, the top 1 percent, who already pay 40 percent of America's income taxes, to also start paying for everyone's Social Security benefits.
Why not also force high-income earners to put their addresses up on the internet and we can all send them our grocery bills, our car payments, and our kid's tuition bills? Let's get the rich to pay for all our bills, including our retirement.
Unfortunately, some Republicans are allowing themselves to be suckered into this political blackmail.
Cutting payroll taxes earmarked for a Social Security system that is already bankrupt is no way to run a country and no way for people that are allegedly free and responsible citizens to live.
And using a payroll tax holiday as a back door plan to turn Social Security into a middle class welfare program does not bode well for our nation's future.
If the point is to fix Social Security, let working Americans keep their payroll tax and use it to fund their own private retirement account -- an idea that 3 of 4 Americans under 50 favor.
If the point is to restore our economy, let's cut the trillion dollars in new spending we've larded into the government over the last three years and start focusing on rewarding rather than punishing individual freedom and success.

Question about the new terminology that governs abilities on items; I've noticed a lot of ROA stacking particularly on Singed. 3 ROA on him makes him really tanky with AP to back him up (getting that many ROAs isn't really that hard to do if you do it right). Will ROA be given this same restriction as the tiamat preventing stacking?
Systems Designer
Hmmm... about unique actives/passives, will the GP% share the same unique name? AKA can we still stack Kage with Philo? EDIT : been ninja'd by both the question and the answer :P
I'm going to ask what I think is an obvious question, but just to be sure, here goes. Tiamat/Hydra and Sheen/Trinity Force/Lich Bane procs are not going to spread to to the 'cleaved' targets, just the primary target for that individual proc, right?
Xyph, could you give us the numbers for the current Tiamat's splash radius and the new Tiamat's splash radius? On the wiki, the estimated radius of Tiamat is a mere 92 units---less than even melee range.
"It's roughly 2x to 2.5x as big - but suffers damage fall-off the farther out you are from the epicenter." Can I get an exact number? the difference between 2x and 2.5x seems kind of large.

I bought this in the shade Medium. As, it has been around for a long time, and I had become curious about trying it. All I can say is that this concealer is some real heavy duty stuff. It could probably conceal just about anything.
I only use it on the spots that I find need a bit of concealing on my face. It is best to build the coverage up in layers, instead of applying a large amount all at once. As, this product can easily start to cake and crease up on you, as one of it's main ingredients is mineral oil. So, whenever I do use it, I make sure to set it well. But, I still do find myself having to re-touch with powder, especially if its during hot and humid weather, or if I've been wearing it for a very long time.
After I use up what I bought, I don't plan to re-purchase this stuff anymore. As, I wanted to try it, and I did, and will surely use up the tubes that I bought. But, I don't think that I will be re-purchasing any more.

This is the shuckinest best concealer I have ever used! It covers seriously everything from acne scars to huge volcanic pimples, and you only need a small amount! The colour selection is ok. I tested some at Walmart and tan is the only one that matched me. Its a tad bit dark, but it will be my perfect shade in the summer when I'm tanned. I even got my sister (who HATES makeup) to use this. She has bad acne problems and acne scars and this covered them beautifully! I highly recommend this concealer to anyone with acne, breakouts, and scars!

I have super oily skin and suffer from deep acne scars along my jawline and active, red breakouts all over my cheeks and occasionally on my chin and on my upper lip. I first applied this with my fingers over my bare skin to test it out and I noticed the color to be really light even though I got light-medium and I came to the conclusion that the color is right for my skintone. The product just gives off a flat-matte look. Since this concealer is of such a thick consistency my fingers made this separate and have absolutely no coverage. It looked horribly cakey. I later applied this with a cheap, triangle wedge sponge and it really pressed the product into my skin to give me such a soft, full coverage look to my spot concealing. I tried this concealer over top of my Garnier BB Cream for Combination to Oily Skin and it gave me such great coverage but the color looked too light so I have decided that I'll use this under my BB Cream and update on how I like it. I absolutely love using such a heavy feeling concealer for spots so that I get proper coverage but my very light-weight BB Cream all over so that my whole face stays fresh. A little goes such a long way with this product so it'll be forever before I have to repurchase but since it's only $6 a tube I wouldn't be bothered to get another when I do happen to run out.

I originally loved this product. I'd use it very sparingly as a foundation at times, and the color is gorgeous, it looks flawless immediately after application. However it has zero staying power. It never sets or dries. It's like Vaseline almost. When I talk on my phone, the screen is covered in this stuff. I don't have oily skin, so I can only imagine what happens to someone with oily skin who uses this. Whether you use as a spot treatment or foundation, it just doesn't stay. I think for winter, if you have somewhat dry skin and set with a good powder and avoid touching your face, it's decent, for a couple hours. I love that it's not orangey or pink, I just wish it had some staying power.

This is by far the WORST concealer ever!! After 2 years of not using it my skin is still recovering from the damage this concealer did to my face. It broke me out like nothing ever has... I used to have a beautiful complexion and no acne. But this disgusting thick greasy formula caused my skin to have such a bad reaction that who knows if it will ever go away. Ive tried to fix my skin for 2 years not but I still have acne and bad redness and large pores. Thought my acne has gotten better the redness just does not seem to want to go away, and its all thanks to this concealer. DONT BUY unless u want to ruin your skin.
i just bought this and its definitely not for dry skin! it extenuated my dry skin but i did give 2 lippies for the great coverage but it just wasn't for me :-(
More reviews by Samwisethebrave11
I LOVE this product. First of all I have terrible skin that suffers from acne scars, unevenness, and acne flair ups. This covers everything. I'm lucky enough to be matched perfectly by the light shade. If you don't match, it's not too big of an issue, the product mixes well with foundation and lotion and still gives you great coverage. Do not put this under your eyes, it WILL look bad. But for acne, there is noting better. I like to use a small amount and spot it onto my skin with a liner brush. After that I use a stipple brush to blend it in. I end up with a flawless finnish. You can't even tell I have acne! Make sure to put a powder and setting spray over this though! It does transfer easily. Best drugstore makeup product I have ever found. You can't beat it's price either.

I adore this. I have dry skin and I'm very pale, I use the ultra light colour and I've NEVER had an issue with it. I also use a sponge to put it on so maybe when other use it they find it cakey cause they're using too much? It covers really well and I've been using this for years.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this concealer but dont love it , it does not have that much coverage to be as honest maybe if you reapply it but with one dot no :( disappointed
I have this in light and ultra light, because they were out of light when I went to purchase it.
Covers everything, it's super thick, creamy, blends out well enough. Doesn't slide around too much at all and lasts throughout the day.
The tub is good, and takes literally forever to use it all up. A little goes a long, long, long, way.
Definitely would not use it as an under eye concealer though, it's way too thick for that. I don't even know why you would try?

I had a craving for French Dip Sandwiches so I decided I would bake mini baguettes and roast a small Sirloin Tip Roast. I kneaded up an 8 cup batch of dough thinking I would bake half mini and half regular size baguettes. First batch rising. I liked the mini size so much that I ended up baking all mini baquettes. Perfect size for sandwiches and still big enough to toast whether sliced or cut horizontally. Crumb. French Dip Sandwiches with homemade fries, double fried. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, yum! Going on the menu soon! |
Those look great, Ann. I would be very happy to have one for dinner tonight. |
Very timely! I scheduled FD sandwiches for tonight as a treat to myself. Of course they won't be nearly as pretty as yours. As always, thanks for sharing. |
Those look far more appealing than the "real" ones from Downtown L.A.! Really lovely. |
Ann, Yum, indeed. What bread recipe did you use? I made one loaf of Italian bread last week with 5 3/4 cups of flours, 2 cups of water and a tablespoon of yeast, plus salt. Could I just repurpose dough into the baguettes? So cute they are. |
Yum, AnnT, those look delicious, perfectly done beef and crusty bread. That's quite a slicer too. Elery and I just bought one at the local on-line auction, an old Globe slicer from a local store with a deli department. We haven't used it yet, but we did plug it in and try it out. Now I might have to do a sirloin tip, and clean up that old Globe. Annie |

Beautiful!!!!! |
Beautiful sandwich! What is the dipping sauce for the French Dip? dcarch |
The sauce - Au Jus - is made from the drippings off of the roast. ~Ann |
- Posted by islay_corbel (My Page) on Sat, Jun 7, 14 at 2:30
Can you tell me how you make your sauce au jus de viande? I never get so much. I thought it was a cup of coffee!!! LOL |
The roast was cooked at 500°F. When it was done , I removed the roast from the pan, and placed the pan back into the oven for the juices to reduce and brown. I added about one teaspoon of flour, and beef broth. Added one cracked garlic clove and a sprig of rosemary and simmered the sauce with the lid on for about 10 minutes. Seasoned with salt and lots of black pepper. Not a lot of drippings but more than enough for beef dip sandwiches. More juice than gravy. ~Ann |

Ann, I would love to get your recipe for the bread. I looked on your blog but could not find it. |
Ann T and other bread bakers, I am trying my hand at bread this morning again but foolishly may have added insufficient yeast. One tablesoon of dry yeast to about 5 3/4 cups of flour. Am I about too bake too dense a loaf? Any salvage possible? |
Carree, that is more than enough yeast for the amount of flour. It might take a little longer to rise depending on room temperature, but your bread will taste better. Debrak, I'm at work so can't access my files , but you can find the basic recipe on the attached link. Can be made with or without a starter. ~Ann |
Here is a link that might be useful: Baguettes
they are so perfect Ann, I wish you opened a bistro in Calgary, I would be there often !!! |
For what it's worth, I was about to agree with Ann T about the yeast, that's plenty for that amount of flour. Ann T makes more bread than anyone else I know, I think, and she won't steer you wrong. carree, that's some good looking bread. Annie |
- Posted by islay_corbel (My Page) on Sun, Jun 8, 14 at 2:58
Thank you. |
Thank you, Annie. I am still struggling to get more air holes in the bread and with a clean shift over to the baking stone. That is what explains the odd shaped loaves. guess I should not scrimp on cornmeal or flour on the peel. Whatever! I am having a fine time of practicing. Thanks again for the yeast guidance. |
- Posted by debrak2008 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 8, 14 at 9:15
I'm a little (a lot) confused. Is this the basic recipe? Artisan Style Bread What is Biga and Levain? Sorry if I seem clueless. |
Carree, your bread looks great. And I'm sure it tastes wonderful. Debrak, A Biga and a Levain are both "preferments". Made with sourdough starters or with small amounts of yeast. It is just another option. The bread can be made with just yeast without the addition of a "preferment". A preferment improves both flavour and texture of the bread. I fed my starters yesterday and last night before bed I mix up a biga using 230 g flour, 230 g. water and 70 g of starter. I kneaded up a batch of bread dough using that biga, along with 1000 g of flour, 820 g of water, a pinch of yeast and 25 g of salt. The dough will go into the fridge before I leave for work and Moe will take it out about an hour or so before I get home. I'll be baking bread tonight and making a pizza for dinner. I could have left out the pinch of yeast, but the rise would have been slower and I wanted to give the dough a bit of a boost . |
Thanks, Ann T, for the reminder. We're nearly out of bread and I'm going to stir up a starter right now. Not a sourdough starter, but one that just starts with yeast, flour and water, so I can bake tonight or tomorrow. Annie |

Can you just clear something up for me - what is gravy in your neck of the woods? because what you all call au jus is gravy in England. I'm curious to learn what the difference is! |
Islay, the difference for me is that gravy is thicker. Au Jus is more brothy, but still rich in flavour. Even the gravies I make are not thick. But I know others that also refer to au jus and gravy and sauce as the same thing. ~Ann |

Thank you. |
The thing about words like "gravy", "sauce", "salsa" and "mole" is that they take on local characters to mean something rather specific when all of those words really just mean liquidy stuff to pour over food. Calling it "au jus" is more about the 100+ years of the sandwich famously being described as "au jus", than about it accurately being sauce au jus de viande. One of the restaurants which claims to have created it, Phillippe's (a few blocks from the other one), gave this recipe to Food Network, though I don't know if that's how they actually make theirs. Au jus, is a noun in American English. You will often hear people ask for "more au jus", or ask to "warm up the au jus". One of the origin stories was that the roll fell into the pan drippings at the carving station while a man was getting a beef sandwich and he said he was fine with the wet roll. Another version was that he complained that the bread was stale or too hard, so they dunked it in the juices to soften it. Still another version was that the guy just wanted the drippings so asked to have them soak up on his bread. They say it got the name because customers who saw it would ask to have the roll dipped "like Frenchy does," referring to Mr. Phillippe, who, being French, probably also inaugurated calling it "au jus". Thus, he probably just meant "with the juice", period. At the other place that claims to have invented it, Cole's, they say it was dipped in the juices for a guy with bad teeth who couldn't bite and chew the roll. I could believe that they did make sandwiches with drippings, too, but it makes the most sense that the name of the sandwich, and the "au jus" to dip it in, came from Frenchy's, which is what customers used to call Phillippe's. Whichever, that first French dip sandwich was literally dipped in the jus de viande. I wouldn't think many had been since, since, as you say, there isn't that much juice to be had, especially if you skim it. |
