Retina display brought to Macbook Pro line (with new case design, but...)
Discussion Tools
This news is now a week or two old, but I figured I'd post it anyway: Apple has updated their 15" Macbook Pro line to include the highly-regarded "retina" display. This display has double the pixels of a conventional screen, meaning that anything displayed on the screen will look very crisp and sharp. The idea behind the "retina" displays is that the pixels are so small and densely packed that the human eye can't distinguish them, making for something that looks life-like.
In addition to the retina display, the Macbook Pro received a case redesign. The optical drive has been removed, as has the ethernet port. If you need ethernet, Apple offers a Thunderbolt-to-ethernet port adapter. Compared with the unibody Macbook Pro design, the "retina Macbook Pro" weighs one pound less (most likely due to the removal of components) and is shorter and thinner by less than an inch in all dimensions.
The big downside of the case redesign is that the RAM and storage drive and no longer user-replaceable. While the storage drive seems like it can be upgraded by Apple, the RAM is soldered to the motherboard. I find this design decision to be incredibly disappointing: the Macbook Pro is still larger and heavier than the Macbook Air, and if I had a choice, I would prefer to have kept the old dimensions and weight if it meant that the RAM, at least, could be upgraded.
Perhaps anticipating problems over this, Apple still offers the Macbook Pro in the former unibody design (including optical drive and ethernet port), but the retina display is not an option for it. It seems to be an artificial distinction... my hope is that Apple will not go the path of making all of their computers non-upgradeable.

Welcome to Bargoed Sea Anglers
The second of the 2015 club shore championship matches was fished on the 8th Feb between the White Light and Bullnose at Cold Knap over low water. Fourteen anglers turned out to fish keeping up the good numbers experienced on the first match.
Weather conditions seemed perfect on arrival with clear skies, no wind, flat calm seas and patchy sea mist.
Fishing turned out to be very hard for all with very few bites registered and rod tips remaining static all day. By the end of the session only three anglers had managed to find fish with results as follows:
1st Colin Neade 1 fish (cod) 53cm
2nd Richard Poole 1 fish (cod) 49cm
3rd Colin Doyle 2 fish (5B rockling) 35cm
Next Match is Ogmore to Rest Bay on the 15th March
The first match of the new year took place on Cardiff Foreshore on the 18th January. Access had been pre arranged with the port authority and that resulted in 18 anglers turning up to fish
All but four anglers opted to drive into the port and fish at various marks off Longships Road. The others opted for the point to the left of the heliport.
New rules were introduced at the AGM for shore matches this year allowing all fish over 15cm to be measured and released with positions settled based on the longest overall length of fish caught.
This produced a much better match with 14 out of the 18 competitors entering a card at the weigh in. Results were:
1st Paul Weare 4 fish 189cm including a cod of 9lb 8oz
2nd Mark Payne 5 fish 139cm
3rd Colin Neade 4 fish 124cm
4th Dean Jones 3 fish 82cm
5th Dai Tapper 2 fish 75cm
Paul took the longest fish and longest overall bag pools with Mark tking the pool for the most fish
Hopefully the move to measure and release will encourage similar numbers of anglers for all matches theis year!!
The Annual General Meeting took place on 7th January with Mike Reynolds the Chairman retiring. The club would like to thank Mike for the many years he has been in the role. We hope he continues attending the meeting and still continue fishing
The new Chairman elected is Peter Evans, we hope the members give Peter the same support the previous Chairman have had in the past
The first boat trip took place in early January with a very successful trip with 55no. codling landed the biggest by Colin Neade a fish of 3lb 8oz
The trip on the Spot On on March 7th has still got vacancies
The first shore match of the new campaign takes place at Cardiff Foreshore with the club gaining access through the security gate through the WFSA
The 2015 club booklets are available to all members who have paid up their membership
The Presentation night takes place on Saturday 31st January with tickets priced at only £2.00 each A great night of entertainment has been booked with a band Just for Kicks

Cardiff Foreshore
Ten members turned up at Cardiff Foreshore for the final Summer series match of 2014. Unfortunately there were no fish caught.
Cold Knap
For the last league match at Cold Knap only six turned up to fish due to the strong west winds and heavy showers. Decision was made to move to Porthkerry where conditions were much nicer.
Only fish caught was a baby tope by Richard Pool, no other fish was weighed in.
Anchorman on 26th July
On the boat for 6.30am sailing over towards Minehead. weather was just glorious throughout the days with swealtering heat.Fish were caught throughout the day with the skipper moving seven times looking for the fish.
A reasonable day was had with everyone chasing the three fish pool we agreed on the heaviest hound went to Darren Lewis with a fish of 10lb 7oz, the Ray went to Dean Jones with a fish of 6lb 12oz and the conger pool went to Shaun Morgan with an eel of 9lb 2oz. Other fish caught on the day were bullhuss and dogfish.
Iceland trip
Nine lads made up the numbers for the annual outing this year to Iceland. It had been planned nearly 14 months ago and here it was July 3rd. The first pick at 2am then on to Cardiff and straight on to Bristol airport
Few minor problems with individuals being over weight which was quickly sorted out, a lovely breakfast and two hours and fourty minutes we arrived at Reykjavik. A small delay in cases arriving with one or two getting rather impatient, it was then straight into duty free to get your supplies of lager
We then met our host for the week Steve Mason who runs Icelandic Fishing Adventures, who gave us a warm welcome and introduced us to his assistant for the week Joe McDonald who was also our driver Also included on the trip were Mark Cowell and his partner Sally Owen both shore fishing ex Welsh Internationals
After packing the minibus we endoured a six hour journey North stopping every few hours for a coffee or one of the Icelandic hotdogs which were delicious
The scenery was breath taking with waterfalls and snow capped mountains where ever you looked
We arrived at our log cabins late in the afternoon to breath taking views, fantastic accomodation with all your needs included. Steve gave us an hour to unpack and get prepared we were out to fish straight away
All fishing venues were very safe and out of the back of the mini bus, the area being Olafsfjorour peninsular some a bit rougher than others but tackle loss was down to a minimum unless your name was Colin (thought Id better put that one in)
The fishing started with codling, huge dabs and coalfish being caught literally as soon as your bait hit the water, this was just a little taster session just to get us a feel for what the rest of the week would bring Over 120 fish landed
Everyone was buzzing so many fish caught in just a few hours with the bait being blueys,there was a huge bucket of worms available and later on in the week squid was also supplied
It was then back to the lodge with Mal and Cyril doing most of the cooking which we were eternally grateful, curries, cooked dinner and fish and chips were superb In fairness everyone mucked in with washing up duties, the commoraderie was brilliant.
After dinner it was straight into the hot tub which was just outside the front door, it was just so relaxing with a nice cold can of lager
All the other venues fished better with one particular day we moved three times All the years I have fished I have never experienced anything like it the fishing was just superb with Steve and Joe emphasising that it was poor. Poor if that was poor I'd hate to think of what they class as good haha.
Some days between 500-600 fish caught
We were taking double and treble shots of 3lb whiting and dabs and cod up to 9lb with coalfish to 8lb +
The coalfish were that prolific drop three baited hooks down side of pier bang bang three fish some were of a decent weight
We also had the use of a rowing boat is you fancied catching a few Arctic char or trout out of the Fjjord
We had an fantastic time the fishing was the best you'll ever encounter, the guides Steve and Joe were true gentlemen nothing was too much bother even going to the bank to change money and do some shopping for us
We ventured down the day before the flight to a lovely guesthouse where Darren did the raw shark meat demonstration which was hilarious
All the lads thoroughly enjoyed a trip of a life time,we had the early morning presentation of the yellow jersey which started the banter off and continued until we went to bed
We also had the honour to witness Cyril in his many outfits and masks he took with him
Just like to thank all those that travelled for sharing with me a very special trip which was so exhausting talk about hardcore fishing
There were six new club records:-
Whiting 2lb 9.25oz Shaun Morgan
Starry eyed ray 2lb 2oz Cyril williams
Coalfish 8lb 2oz Peter Evans
Dab 2lb 7.5oz Mal Hurley
Halibut 10oz Shaun Morgan
Haddock 1lb 13oz Peter Evans
Colin Doyle Club Secretary
Shore match
Match was fished from Lavernock to Bendricks fishing 3 1/2 down 1 1/2 up. Nine turned up to fish with all except Colin and Toyse fishing Sully Island, the two Colin's fishing at the Bendricks.
With the tide dropping quickly Richard, Mal and Lloyd opted to wade across the causeway and were joined by the police helicopter which circled overhead as they waded over. Richard ended up with a wet back as the water made its way over the back of his chest waders but didn't get anywhere as wet as Mal who ended up lying on his side in a rock pool while trying to cross the gulley between the two rock spits below the monkey pole.
Fishing was very quiet with no bites for anyone who on the ebb. At low water Richard picked up a dog fish and missed his only other bite to end up with a single fish. Mal lost a decent eel but then landed a second which was 1cm undersize. The Colin's managed an undersized codling each but Steve came up trumps with his pot noodle conger to take the overall win.
The match ended with Steve taking the win and biggest fish with a conger for 0.89kg and Richard second with a dog fish weighing 0.54kg. No one else weighed in and the pool for most fish rolls over to the next match.
Spoton wrecking trip
Saturday 28th of June seen the club head down to Brixham for a session aboard Spoton target species being mainly Cod and Pollock, off to a great start when 1 mile from my house Danno picked a fight with a Black cat, Black cat 0 Danno 1. Well you couldn't make it up, 10 miles down the road an Owl decided he was hard enough Owl 0 Danno 1 so we haven't travelled out of Wales and the Owl and the Pussycat have had it.
Set sail at 7-15am weather was patchy a bit of a swell and yes Tappers off Eweeee, Eweeee, Ralphhhh Ralphhhh, groundbait everywhere. First wreck and we are on the fish, steady catch of Cod and Pollock coming in with Lyndon having several small ones before hitting a 6lb Cod to take the lead, Danno then matched him with a cod of the same size, skipper decided to move to try and find some bigger fish. This was the pattern for the rest of the day, but the bigger fish seemed to be in hiding although Tapper and myself lost bigger fish to the wrecks. Then to everyone's surprise including himself Tapper caught a 7lb 12 oz Cod to take the lead. Tapper if something pulls on your rod then its mostly fish!!!! There's nothing else down there pulling your line!! Lots of species coming aboard, Grey Gurnard, big red Gurnard, Whiting and big Pouting. Cyril was in on something which turned out to be a 12lb Cod which was the biggest of the day and took the pool and the lead for the Cod cup. Everyone by now had at least 7 or 8 fish each except for Byron who hadn't caught, then Yeehah he's in, a nice 3lb Cod broke his duck quickly followed by Pollock and Pouting no holding him now. Overall a total of 26 Cod, 15 Pollock were taken with loads more put back for another day.
Excellent report by Cyril Williams
Aberavon 25 th May 2014
The second of the Summer Series was fished at Aberavon beach in very wet conditions. Only seven turned up due to the Bank Holiday with everyone weighing in
Alan Lewis won it with 87cm 2nd Mal Hoskins with 62cm 3rd Brian Moon with 57cm Species caught mullet bass flounders and turbot Best fish went to Alan Lewis with a fine mullet of 43cm
Pendine fishing report May
Eleven fished at Pendine with a meeting time of 10.05. The key was collected for the barrier but unfortunately the storm on Saturday combined with a high tide resulted in the sand being washed away from the bottom of the slipway leaving a ditch and drop big enough to prevent cars from being taken on to the beach.
Brian decided to launch his secret weapon in the shape of an electric buggy and loaded his gear on ready for the trip. On his first attempt at driving through the barriers his rod an rest got jammed as he had them sideways across his lap. This caused much amusement and resulted in loads of photos being taken. When he eventually got it on to the beach he managed about 400yds on the hard sand before sinking into softer sand as he turned towards the sea. At this point he decided to pack up an go home.
Fishing was very quiet with water still coloured from the storm with very few bites. At the end of the match only four weighed in with others either blanking ot failing to catch anything in size.
Match results were:
1st Mal Hoskins with three flounder for 0.92kg and most fish
2nd Yanto, two flounder for 0.61
3rd Pete with one flounder for 0.39 and heaviest fish
4th Mike Reynolds ome flounder for 0.31.

Stories by KEE HUA CHEE
Believe it or not, winner of the Ford Models Supermodel of the World Search Malaysia, Dayang Nur Atikah Karim is "blind as a bat", had a habit of sloping her shoulders to one side and was once called gelap (dark).
WHEN Dayang Nur Atikah Karim emerged as winner of the Ford Models Supermodel of the World Search Malaysia 2011 last Sunday at the Sepang International Circuit, the crowd was not in the least bit surprised.
Or at least they were pleasantly surprised to have been spot on.
You see, when MC Bernie Chin waved the winners' list and asked, "Who do you think is the winner?", the cameras scanned the crowd with their placards and clappers, and zoomed in on a girl carrying a banner of the insurance company Etiqa. As if on cue, the crowd chanted, "Atiqah." (The way her name was spelled for the competition.)
Atikah, though, was such a bundle of nerves that evening, she didn't hear what the crowd was chanting.
"I thought I would be second or first runner-up. I did well on stage and felt confident. When my name was not called for the second or first runner-up position, I felt disappointed. I never dreamt that it would be me!" recalls Atikah.
"Everything was a blur and I felt like I was in a dream. I only knew it was real when the RM100,000 Mouawad diamond pendant was placed on my neck. The diamond pendant is one of the prizes. It felt so cold so I knew I couldn't be dreaming!" she grins.
Born and bred in Kota Kinabalu, Atikah stands at 175cm, weighs 50kg and is all of 18.
When asked if her age was a stumbling block, she replies nonchalantly, "No, my age is an advantage as I am fresh, eager to learn and enthusiastic about everything. I have no baggage and am happy to obey instructions from choreographers, unlike some older models who think they know everything."
I ask if having tanned skin was a liability, and quick as a flash, she asserts, "An asset."
"Every skin colour is nice. This is my natural skin colour given to me by God, so I'm grateful. I have learned to be confident with what I have. When growing up, I never felt beautiful as I was much darker because I played netball. I was considered hitam (dark) so I was self-conscious, but at 16 I began to appreciate myself."
Atikah, who has turned up for our meeting without a shred of make-up and in owlish glasses, says, "I'm blind as a bat."
She looks around Stylo Academy's conference room and laughs, "Only two of us. Normally there would be a chaperone during such interviews as I am new in handling people like you. But they told me they were throwing me into the lion's den with you, and if I survived this, I should survive New York!"
Atiqah says her mother is a finance officer and her father a retired contractor. She has two brothers and a younger sister. I ask if there will be a rash of beauty titles from her family anytime soon. Surprisingly, Atikah is brutally frank in her assessment.
"I am the third child. My younger sister is too fat and my eldest brother is ordinary-looking, but my second brother Saifuddin is very handsome and tall at 180cm."
I wonder aloud if the "Dayang" in her name denotes aristocracy but Atiqah says no.
"It simply means that I am Bajau Brunei or from Brunei, as I am half-Bruneian and half-Sabahan. My eldest brother has 'Awang' in front of his name while I have 'Dayang' but our other siblings don't have anything in front of their names. My parents just alternated our names so we have two Malaysian and two Bruneian names!" she explains.
Atikah says she has loved modelling since Form Four.
"I was 168cm at 15. By 16, I had reached my present height. I hope I can still grow as my dream is to be 180cm tall. I shall think positive as I have three more years to go since girls are said to stop growing at 21.
"I like modelling and fashion, and I get to enjoy both working as a model. My dream was to model for Alexander McQueen but it's too late now. I have just finished my SPM and was planning to study multimedia and design when I heard about the Ford Models Supermodel of the World Malaysia contest on Facebook. They held the audition at Sutera Harbour Hotel, which was convenient for me, as it was in Kota Kinabalu.
"I never expected to win. I took part for the experience and fun. I never liked beauty pageants and have no wish to be Miss Malaysia. All I wanted was be a model. I auditioned to see how far I could go. If nothing happened, no problem! I only felt I could be second or first runner-up on the finals night."
There were 24 semi-finalists in the competition, and eight were from Sabah. All the semi-finalists underwent six days of gruelling tests before they were whittled down to 12.
"We had the time of our lives as we trained daily at Stylo Academy for a month. I really learned a lot through the John Robert Powers system. We learned voice control, posture, deportment, catwalk, fashion sense, make-up, diet, healthcare and public speaking.
"I loved everything and looked forward to our daily classes from 10am to 8pm. We had two rest days which I used to go shopping. No clubbing for me! Working with professional, full-time models during the Stylo shows at Chin Woo Stadium was out of this world."
Her mother, sister and second brother were at the Sepang International Circuit to witness her win.
"My father and eldest brother were in Jakarta. They told me they were pleasantly shocked when my name was announced. But they didn't cry, or maybe they did, but when we met, we just hugged and jumped up and down," Atikah reveals.
The finals for the Ford Supermodel of the World 2011 will be held on July 14 in New York. This time around, Atikah is more upbeat about her chances.
"I will do my best to bring home the title. If not, I hope to be in the Top 5 . . . or maybe the Top 3!" says Atikah who received a modelling contract worth RM100,000 with F&F. As for the RM100,000 diamond pendant from Mouawad, she says she will treasure and wear it on her wedding day.
Will she ever sell it?
"No, I will never do such a thing," she grimaces.
What are her plans next year after her reign as Malaysia's Ford Supermodel is over?
"I hope to continue modelling. If not, there is always the university waiting for me!" she smiles.

A rally creating awareness of the ill effects of junk food was organised by Leo club of Jamal Mohamed College in the city on Monday. A.M. Mohamed Sindhasha, principal, Jamal Mohamed College, presided over the event.
The rally was flagged off by M.A. Aleem, vice principal, K.A.P.V Government Medical College, at the railway junction. It passed via head post office before concluding at Jamal Mohamed College.
"People should be aware of the ill effects of fast food. The young generation has grown addicted to these foods that are high in salt and fat content. Side effects of junk food consumption are depression, lack of concentration, and memory problems," said Dr. Aleem.
R. Ramakrishnan, designated officer, food safety and drug administration, said consumption of junk food is detrimental to health, and warned students against the side effects such as obesity and co morbid (co-existing) diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and stroke.
"Lifestyle modification is essential for today's fast lifestyle. One should include at least 200 grams of vegetable and fruits in the daily diet," he said. Over 500 students, members of Rotaract Club, ADA club, and NSS wing, participated.

angel shark (genus Squatina), Philippe Guillaumeany of about 15 species of sharks that constitute a single genus (family Squatinidae, order Squatiniformes) characterized by flattened heads and bodies, with winglike pectoral and pelvic fins that make them resemble rays. The tail bears two dorsal fins and a well-developed caudal fin. The upper surface of the head features the eyes, behind each of which is a prominent spiracle. Five gill slits occur in front of the pectoral fins. The angel shark ranges up to 2.5 metres (6.25 feet) in length.
© macdivers/FotoliaAngel sharks are found in tropical and warm temperate waters of the continental shelf worldwide. One species, S. squatina, was once frequently caught unintentionally in fishing nets and was later listed as critically endangered.

Monseigneur is an honorific in the French language. It has occasional English use as well, as it may be a title before the name of a French prelate, a member of a royal family or other dignitary.
Monsignor is both a title and an honorific in the Roman Catholic Church.[1] In francophone countries, it is rendered Monseigneur, and this spelling is also commonly encountered in Canadian English practice. Nowadays, the title is used for bishops. In France the use monsignori are not called monseigneur but the more common monsieur l'abbé, as are priests. The plural form is Messeigneurs.
Prior to the overthrow of the French monarchy in 1792, Monseigneur equated to His Royal Highness or His Serene Highness when used as part of the title of a royal prince,[2] as in Monseigneur le comte de Provence. King Louis XIV promoted the use of Monseigneur without the title as a style for the dauphin de France but this use lapsed in the 18th century. French royalists commonly style the current pretender Monseigneur. In his book A Tale of Two Cities Charles Dickens uses this honorific as a collective noun denoting the great nobility as a class.
This form of formal address is currently still in use at courts in Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco and France. Royal princes are formally addressed in the old French style. By tradition a Belgian or Luxembourgian prince is addressed as "Monseigneur" rather than "Your Royal Highness". The word "Monseigneur" is used when addressing a prince in any of Belgium's official languages, there being no Dutch or German equivalent. In France, it is also sometimes used when addressing Henri d'Orléans, Count of Paris and Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou, two pretenders to the French Throne and Albert II, Sovereign of Monaco (French style always is used in Monaco). The spouse of the prince, is addressed as Madame.

Saturday was the Beaver Freezer sprint triathlon, in Corvallis, Oregon. I've done it as a relay twice before (5K in 2006 and bike in 2011) and this would be my second solo run at it (first was 2013). I've been looking forward to this race since last year, and I had high hopes of crushing last years' time.
The race itself is a 500yd swim, 12 mile bike, and 5K run. The swim is indoor (pool), the ride course is mostly flat (a couple long ascents, nothing major), and a looping 5K (with an ugly hill each lap). The OSU Triathlon Club puts on the race, and this year they had a new race directory, Blair Bronson. Blair is a great guy, and runs Best in the West Events. He knows tri and he knows how to run a helluva race. I was super excited to hear that he'd taken over as RD this year…and it showed in the coordination of the volunteers, traffic control, and the whole event.
I got to campus at about 7:20am, parked the truck, rounded up my gear, and made the short walk over to transition. I made the mistake of gabbing with the volunteer doing the body marking, so she got my number wrong initially, but we laughed it off and she fixed it well. Found the rack for my wave (Wave 4) and setup my gear. I didn't use mah bucket this time, but instead confined myself to a duffel and backpack. The ground had mostly dried from the previous nights' rain, so I didn't worry about plastic bags…I was crossing my fingers that the weather would behave for the rest of the event (or at least as long as I was on course).
Once I had everything situated, I still had an hour before my heat started, so I chatted with the guys around me; turns out, Blair's dad, Ken Bronson, racked his bike right next to me! That was pretty cool; we chatted for a bit, and wished each other luck (turns out I would only come in a few minutes behind Ken in the end).
I headed into Dixon at about 8:00am to watch the other waves start and see how the pool setup was done. Everything was moving well, and very well organized. I headed into the locker room and dropped the rest of my gear and was back on deck by about 8:35am. The volunteer in charge of the pool area called my wave together and went over how things were going to work…all very thorough. Headed to my lane and got ready to start.
Swim: 10:14
I was with other 11:00 guys, four of us to a lane. We chatted a bit before our start, seemed like we were all in about the same skill level, so we figured there may be a little passing.
The gun goes off at 8:45am sharp, and we're off. I was first out, with the second guy five seconds behind me, and another guy every five seconds after that, until all four of us were off the wall. I started my pace quick, but not overly fast (remember, I'm not a great swimmer). Within two lengths, I got tapped to be passed, so I hung at the wall and let a couple guys pass me. I started swimming again, and realized I was running up on the guy in front of me…who was in turn running into the guy in front of him. So I had to switch to breaststroke for several lengths before my tapping resulted in me passing.
I finally get passed the other guys, and I'm way out in front (I took a couple glances over my shoulder, to make sure I wasn't going to get run over, trying to be a good lane-mate). I finally get told I'm on my last length, and look back to see the closest guy a full length behind me. I sped up a little bit, made it to the wall, and popped out. I hit the Lap button on my 910 as I hit the chip mat, and briefly saw 10-something before running into transition (I figured this had to be wrong, since I know the distance it recorded was wrong, due to changing strokes mid-length a couple times).
Transition is always tough…there's just no getting around it. You come out of water, your disoriented, and then you have to run to your gear and attempt to get it all on…in order (this is key). Socks went on ok, shoes too. Sunglasses and helmet next. Opted for the road vest, since it was still a bit cool (see more on that in "what didn't work" below). Skipped the gloves, because of time; also left my race belt behind (I'd planned to put it on for the bike so I wouldn't have to worry about it in T2…next time).
Bike: 43:34
Trotted out of transition and mounted my bike; locked in my right shoe on the second rotation, left on the third. Stood up and put some distance between myself and transition as quick as I could.
Left on Campus Way, right on 35th, left on Harrison. Shifted to my big ring and got down to brass tacks. Took my Gu packet a couple miles out, per my plan; I wanted it post-swim, but didn't want to do it until I was on a flat/straight section. Turned right on 53rd and maintained my speed pretty well, passed a couple people, got passed by a couple, too (mostly very tall guys with long legs…bastards…:)). About halfway up 53rd, I decided to drop to my small ring to save some energy; I decided the speed sacrifice was worth it…I wanted something left for the run later, and I knew that I'd have two downhill sections to make up some time.
Got to the turn around (after passing more riders) and put it back into the big ring. My five-mile notice buzzed on my Garmin and said I was 17:19 in at that point; not bad. Turned right on Harrison/Oak Creek and headed west. Dropped into the small ring about a mile in, to save energy again. Steady climb west continued on Oak Creek to the turnaround at Tanager (complete with the ugly little stand-up-in-your-pedals hills). Got some good speed heading back east, climbed the last rise on Oak Creek, and got into the big ring again. Shifted up and went into my drops to get more aero.
Crossed 53rd at a good speed, because traffic was actually being stopped very effectively by the volunteers (THANK YOU!). It was at this point that I realized I was feeling quite a bit of drag and realized that my wind vest had become a drag-chute. Kept my speed up on the way in (best I could with said parachute), only got passed by one person (who I had passed on an earlier climb). Right on 35th, left on Campus Way, right on 26th (watching out for squirrels…damn near hit one in 2011). Dismounted, headed into transition.
This is where I didn't hit my Lap button, apparently; thought I felt the confirming vibration, but apparently not. Clip-clop (cycling shoes on asphalt sounds exactly like horseshoes on cobble stones) ran to my spot and racked my bike. The wind vest had rebelled and unzipped from the bottom at this point, so I tore it off at that point (I was irritated). Helmet and bike shoes off, running shoes on (single knot), race belt on, ran towards the timing mat.
Run: 25:33
Hit my Lap button to start the run, realized it was showing as Transition still, so I hit it again just after I crossed the mat to get in Run mode. Grrrr. Up to Jefferson, left at the cones, right on 26th. They had a lane established for the runners to keep them the hell away from the bikes. Wound up running next to a lady I ran with last year (she recognized my tri suit). We wished each other luck, and I pulled ahead. At this point I was still really tight from the bike and running about 8:20ish. Right on Campus Way, right on 15th (had a couple volunteers cheering me on…"the chess guy!"), right on Jefferson, up that damn hill in front of the library. Mile one came out to 8:21 per my Garmin.
Rinse and repeat…lost some speed on mile two for some reason (I vaguely remember slowing down); came out to 8:25. I decided to drop the hammer on mile three and steadily increased my speed. Mile three was 7:58, and the last .1 mile was 6:35 as I sprinted to the finish.
Overall: 1:24:19
Lessons Learned
Now for the "tough love" section of this report!
What went right
1. I beat last year's time by 17 minutes; 2013 was 1:41, this year 1:24. 19/37 in my age group. Works for me. Room for improvement, but still awesome. Here's a little comparison between 2013 and 2014:
2. Garmin Forerunner 910XT. This was my first race with this watch, and it worked great. If I'd been able to swim more consistently (see above), it would have recorded the strokes and distance perfectly. Everything else was spot-on, and only operator-error was a concern.
3. My gear transport. As I mentioned above, I didn't use the bucket this time, but a duffel and backpack. While that worked well, it would have been nice to only have one bag to worry about. I'm either going to look at getting a TYR Convoy Transition backpack, or a large ALICE pack.
4. Nutrition on-course. Only needed one Gu packet, but had three. Felt really good from a no-bonk standpoint.
5. Other gear: this was my first race with my new road shoes, and they were awesome (with the caveat below). Running shoes were likewise fantastic. Tri kit was great as well. Bike handled fine, though I did discover a bulge in my tire afterward…glad that didn't go while I was on-course…
What went wrong
There were several things that were less than awesome during this race…
1. Bike shoes…took longer than I would have liked to put them on in transition
2. Wind vest on the ride…turned into a goddamn parachute on the return ride; while it may not have impacted my time beyond a few seconds, it was annoying
3. Lap button after the bike…didn't hit my Lap button fully when I entered T2, so I recorded a seven second transition as I entered the run
4. Legs were really sluggish coming off the bike onto the run…felt heavier than usual
5. The weather…
What I can do about it
1. I'm going to try training with my shoes on my pedals during transition and velcro-ing them up after mounting my bike; we'll see how it goes…
2. I'm going to see about getting a long-sleeve jersey, or arm warmers, that match my tri kit, so that I have something more form-fitting when it gets cool
3. This is just practice; this was my first race with the 910XT, and as I mentioned above, it handled admirably…no complaints beyond user-error
4. More brick workouts. I only did one (last Sunday) since XTERRA Portland last August. This was a bad idea. I'll be doing several more prior to Heart of the Valley at the end of May
5. Not a darn thing; part of racing and training in the Pacific Northwest is dealing with wind, snow, rain, etc.
All-in-all, this was a fantastic season opener race. I'm thrilled with my time, and have some things to work on before my next tri at the end of May.
Keep moving!!

Chelsea stutter as title ambitions take another hit
Published: Monday 9th of February 2009
Any hopes of Chelsea regaining their Premier League crown looked even less likely after a lacklustre display saw their match with Hull finish goalless and left them seven points and one game adrift from pacesetters Manchester United.
As has become a worrying hallmark of their recent play, Chelsea looked largely toothless going forward, lacking either invention or a coherent shape in the business of playing the ball into the box or threatening their opponent's backline.
For all the expensive talent on display it was Hull's relatively bargainous back four which shut out the home side for the duration, with what few chances that fell Chelsea's way squandered by a group of players who might have appeared to some like they simply couldn't be bothered.
How far Scolari's charges can go this season will most likely be decided by the extent to which he can purge the root cause of this unrest and reinvigorate a team which, at the start of the season, looked like they were ready to take on the world but now look like a shadow of their former selves.

I think that money is absolutely the factor, because a high school coach wouldn't always start as a head coach. If JRob were to retire tomorrow, would Minny really trust an untested high school coach to be their head coach? Probably not. Most likely, a high school coach would have to break in as an assistant, and if that coach was making $60-70K as a high school coach and teacher, they won't want to take the inevitable pay cut.
From the coach's perspective, it's also a hell of a lifestyle change and that might not be attractive. I'll use Keith Healy, coach of Providence High School in New Lennox, IL as an example.* Healy has several team state championships, and has several individual state champions. He has kids all over D-I, went to Illinois and still has a cozy relationship with them. I'm sure if he ever wanted to jump to the college ranks, they would find a place for them. But why would he want to?
He is in his late 40's/early 50's, and has a family. He would have to start the extensive traveling that college coaching requires, and that doesn't stop in the off season. Yes, a high school coach's life is extremely busy, but they can sleep most nights at home.
You're also dealing with an entirely different mindset of kids. High school coaches don't get in it just because they love wrestling. You've got to like kids, too. College kids are on a completely different wavelength.
*I am in no way saying that Healy is looking to leave Providence. He was just the first coach to pop into my head.
