I'm so mad, disappointed and look so stupid. I entered into the Santa Barbara Long Course Triathlon and finished miserably. I got beat by people in their late 30s, 40s and 50s. Pathetic. I mean, I did train for it. I can do a 100 mile bike ride with no problem. I can do it fast enough for the bike I have. My swimming sucks, and I know it. I sited horribly, but I can swim 2.5 miles just not super fast. I enjoy doing a lot of these things, but the competition just dragged me down. I don't like coming in near last. Being in the middle of the pack is ok. I feel like if I can't at least be in the middle, what is the point? I'm just making a fool of myself and being the joke of the entire race. I did some research on the elite and high performing triathletes that entered the race. I found out that they have personal trainers and personal coaches which I can't afford. They have these really expensive bikes which I don't have and can't afford right now. At the race, I saw a lot of people with expensive bikes. I don't belong to a swim masters team. ($$) They have access to physical therapists, sports medicine and massage therapists. I don't have these things. I don't even have medical insurance. I have to get care through the VA, and they are not there to help athletes achieve their potential when they have people in wheel chairs and guys who have had their legs blown off. I don't blame them for being that way. The athletes have access to these expensive products for recovery and healing, etc. I don't. It's almost like how much triathlon can you afford?
I liked running a lot better. At least, it was an even playing field. The runners are usually a mellow and fun crowd. Yes, in marathons, you always get those people at the front that are really good, but they don't rub your face in it. I didn't get a good feeling from this past experience. Not all of it was do to my poor performance. My running time was similar to many of them, but not the biking or the swim. I'm so pissed. Whatever. I don't even know why I bother. I got started in this triathlon crap, because I got injured running. I still continue to battle injuries. Maybe I should just find something else, something I'm more suited for. Something that I don't need a ton of money for or a ton of equipment. I'd like to just get into something where people aren't trying to out do each other all the time. It sucks. Every time I pass someone on a bike while cycling, they get all butt hurt. I don't mean to judge, but a lot of them seem to be old yuppie types that always have something to prove, that always have to be the best at everything. It's so annoying. I can't even tell you how much.
Are there any sports out there with people that are fun and down to earth where you can get a good work out? I know running is great, but I don't know how much longer I can do it. My feet are really screwed up with plantar fasciitis and achilles tendon problems. I could run a marathon with no problem if it wasn't for my damn feet.
First I have to ask, do you really look at the people who come in at the end of the race as "fools" and the "joke of the entire race"? At my last race the last few finishers crossed the finish line during the award ceremony which was being held right next to the finish line. As those last few people approached the end of their race, everyone stopped paying attention to the announcer, turned to the finish line and cheered and clapped for those people we knew probably struggled more than the rest of us to finish. I'm in awe of the people who finish ahead of me and in awe of the people who finish behind me because we all had the courage to start and do our best. You are right, there are certain advantages that money can provide and certain advantages that genetics can provide, but you do what you can with what you have. If you want to continue with triathlons I would suggest evaluating where you are at and setting some realistic goals to work toward. When you have a bad race (we all have them), look at it as a learning experience and use it to help you figure out what you can do better as you work towards your goals. Even though you may not be able to afford a trainer you should be able to find a training group that is free. Sometimes just having others to work out with can get you to the next level. If you have truly decided that triathlon isn't for you figure out what it is that you enjoy and go have some fun. Don't waster your time doing something that makes you miserable.
I don't know where I'm at. I don't like competing really. If I'm good at something, I'll get into it and go with it. But if I'm not any good at it and it's too difficult for me, I don't bother. Then, it becomes work, and I already have a job and a stressful one at that. So when I go to work out/swim/run/bike, I do it to have fun and relieve stress. I'm so used to biking being a fun thing to do instead of a race. Everyone around me in Cali. where I live is ultra competitive on their bikes even the cruisers get pissed off when you pass by them. It's so annoying. I hate it. Whatever happened to just having fun? I don't know of any triathlons that are just for fun. Everyone seems to be so serious. I can barely have a conversation with anyone while I'm biking, because they are too busy trying to get past me or keep up with me. I did join a few cycling groups and triathlon groups, but they aren't into socializing which defeats the purpose for me. I mean, I don't expect them to be able to talk to me while they are swimming, but with biking and running you can chatt They aren't into that. I've been on a few century rides, and you can't even joke around with these people or have a good time. Why are these middle aged wanna bes so boring and serious all the time? Do they not realize that they missed the boat for the olympics a long time ago? I don't know, whatever. I just like to run, bike and swim, but it's not my career. I don't want it to turn into a competition every time I go out.
This is something I have seen changing in recent years in the triathlon community more gadgets, more fancy stuffs, more, more, more. I have to admit it bothers me as well, but I know that is just a group that is being blown by marketing tools that try to sell whatever new invention they came up with the promise that it will make you faster, better, etc.
True triathlon is a lifestyle, that you learn to appreciate more than some numbers at the finish line, I just recently saw an interview with triathlon legend Jim MacLaren (1963-2010) that encapsules in one sentence how I view the sport: he said: " Behind every tragedy there is always something to learn from, going out and dealing with darkest side of self and pushing through pain"
We have all being there in one way or another, when you feel you had given everything, feel you can't anymore but keep pushing, at that point no matter how fancy your bike is, or shoes, it is just you and the road, and better be happy with self or it will be a bumpy ride.
The sport is gaining popularity, more people will join, only those that are true to themselves will benefit the most.
Wow. I'm not sure where to start, but what comes through is that you need to change your attitude. If you don't like the sport, don't do it. In every sport someone finishes first and someone finishes last; the rest of us fall in between. Most non-elite athletes I know train and compete against themselves. Sure, it is nice to finish in the pack or in front of it. But if it doesn't happen, how do you feel about your race? Did you go out too easy, too hard, just right? Did you hit your time goals, if you set any? Instead of raging against "middle aged wannabees" what do you do to change? Do you say "Nice job" or "keep it up" or other bits of encouragement whether passing or being passed?
As someone who started triathlons in my 50's, I don't take myself too seriously. I also can get on the podium from time to time (winning through attrition). But I have raced and ridden my bike tens of thousands of miles in my life and have a lot of "muscle memory". Swimming and running, not so much. I did get coaching; just a couple of sessions (so less than a new pair of shoes), read and watched some videos to get an idea of form techniques. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars in triathlon gear, although you could. Swimsuit, goggles, bike (any kind, even mountain bikes), helmet, running shoes. That is it! Elite athletes are searching for seconds; most of us are searching for the Finish Line.
Only you are responsible for you and your attitude. Do what you enjoy. If you like to compete, then do it; if not then don't. If you like riding or running with people (versus solo) find a group that fits you. Not every bike club ride is an "A" ride; many clubs have social rides and no-drop rides. Same with running clubs. I have done centuries where I just led the paceline chatting with people the whole time. We weren't at the front but I didn't get "butt hurt" if people passed by (often we caught them again) or just sat on.
I don't know where to begin, either, but I will start by saying that I am absolutely appalled at the childishness of your post. You begin by saying that you are embarrassed because of your performance, then follow it up by with critiquing everyone else's equipment (using that as an excuse?), then complain that PRO athletes have coaches and trainers (of course they do, they're PROs) and you can't afford one (that's your problem, not theirs). Then you go on and whine in a subseqent post about how the members of your triathlon and cycling groups are "too serious" and you want triathlons that are "just for fun'...WHICH IS IT THAT YOU WANT?? Do you want to be competitive or do it for fun? No one said that you HAD to compete. I know plenty of people that swim, bike, and run and don't compete because they do them for the fun and the fitness aspects.
It just amazes me that you get on here and trash other athletes who take it more seriously than you do, and we're supposed to be ok with that? How about starting by looking inward and deciding what YOU want from triathlon: having a good performance or fun. (PS - you can have both!) Ultimately, it comes down to you. What you get out of the sport is what you put into it. If you dedicate yourself and do the work, you'll have better performances. If you want every workout to be a social event, you won't improve. Whichever you want is what you want...just don't expect everyone else to have the same goals as you, then rant about it.
Beat Down in the Santa Barbara Long Course Tri
OMG...As someone who has been doing tri's for over 20 years, I will get straight to the point. Do yourself and the tri world a huge favor and spend any time/money/effort to get therapy! Clearly, what is holding you back in your tri efforts, and I would suspect life as a whole, is the baggage your carrying around and all the exercising in the world isn't going to resolve your greatest limiter....
I would suggest that you establish a "personal goal" for your next triathlon event. Do your best to stay within yourself and your capabilities. Remember this is about you and the goal that you have in mind.
I would also suggest not being overly concerned about other participants passing you and/or their age, or the amount of training they may have received. This will only hold you back from enjoying the event. Focus on you and pat yourself on the back that you are conditioned to participate in these types of events.
My best advice is bring a fun-spriited attitude to these events. It's free and could bring you much happiness if you put a little more faith in yourself. Don't worry about not having the necessary funds to hire a trainer, buy the best bike etc...Life should be fun so take a small step forward and embrace the journey.
Much success.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you are a "millenial". The previous replies have been very nice and are helpful, but your post sounds like a lot of "boo-hoo" to me. I disagree with so much of what you claim. I am one of those 50-something age groupers that passed you in your race. I ride a road bike preferably over a tri bike. Very good and affordable road bikes can be found used because sports geeks are always upgrading. Shoes don't have to be super expensive. I don't and haven't used a coach, physical therapist, masseuse, nutritionist, etc. I swim on my own and not with a masters club. There is so much information available, for free, on the net. Coaching advice, nutrition, stretching, training, etc. find it and use it. Just because you are in your 20's and the self-esteem movement has told you that you are awesome doesn't mean that you are. Some of those people in their 30's, 40's, etc have put in years of endurance training. They may seem intimidating with their geeky, expensive gear, but I'll bet if you asked them for advice or assistance, they would cheerfully help you.
I will admit that entry fees for races are expensive, and there's nothing that can be done about that. Pick one or two races throughout the year, and set personal goals. In life there is always going to be someone out there faster, thinner, more attractive, richer, etc. If you really don't like the competition, do a fun mudder, or a color run, or an obstacle run. They are primarily for fun. Bring a friend, or introduce a friend to the active lifestyle. Be the person they will look up to as you set an example for them. While doing that, you can dig in for the long haul, and work towards being faster, stronger, better in your 30's, 40's, and 50's. There's no rule that says you should be faster just because you are younger.
" I'd like to just get into something where people aren't trying to out do each other all the time". Umm... darlin', it is a race after all.

Vernon Davis strongly hinted that he'll report to 49ers training camp in 26 days without a new contract.
Davis, appearing at an Atlanta-area youth camp, noted that "at least I tried and I put my foot down" in what's been an offseason holdout.
"It's not the end of the world if I don't get it," Davis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about a contract extension. "If I get it, that's good. It's moving slowly, but surely.
"At the end of the day, if I don't get the deal, at least I tried and I put my foot down. If I don't get it at the moment, I'm not going to lose any sleep."
Instead of attending the 49ers' offseason program that concluded last week, Davis has been on a cross-country tour related to his off-field business interests.
Thursday he was in Atlanta for a camp hosted by his agent Todd France of 5 Star Athlete Management. Davis' contract runs through 2015, and he's set to make base salaries of $4.7 million and $4.35 million.
Veterans must report to 49ers training camp July 23 at the team's Santa Clara headquarters.
Davis' interview with the AJC's D. Orlando Ledbetter also touched on the Seattle Seahawks, Colin Kaepernick's maturity and Jimmy Graham's contract dispute. Here is their Q and A:
Q: How difficult has it been dealing with your contract situation?
A: It hasn't been difficult at all. There are no worries. There is nothing that I can stress about. It's obvious that we want a new contract. I want a new contract. It's just like any athlete, we all want a new contract. But I'm not going to stress over it. It's not the end of the world if I don't get it. If I get it, that's good. It's moving slowly, but surely. At the end of the day, if I don't get the deal, at least I tried and I put my foot down. If I don't get it at the moment, I'm not going to lose any sleep.
Q: Where do you stand on the Jimmy Graham/Wide receiver designation issue?
A: I pray that Jimmy Graham passes as a wide receiver. Because at the end of the day, if he passes as a wide receiver, that's better for the rest of the tight ends. He will have opened up a door, a pathway for the rest of the group.
Q: Who do you see, along with the 49ers and Seattle, as contenders in the NFC?
A: Seattle has been a good team for a few years now. They have a lot of talent. They are loaded with talent. Especially with (quarterback) Russell Wilson, he's extremely good. He does everything well. Green Bay is a good team and of course you have our team, the 49ers. It's all about the talent on the team, the coaching staff and the chemistry that the team can build.
Q: How has Colin Kaepernick developed as a quarterback?
A: He's come a long way. He's mature. He's a leader and he's getting better and better. He's such an athletic specimen, that it's unreal. He's a great guy and great player.
Q: Explain how fans can buy stock in you?
A: I was approached by a company in San Francisco called Fantex. I did my due diligence on it. I tried to outweigh the pros and cons. Then I just made a business decision.

Artwork for "Don't Think" remix contest?
It's been a long time since we did a remix contest. Over a year I think.
I figure this song would be good to remix as I'd like to consider having the winning entry on my next mixtape. However, before we kick off the official contest I'd like to have an image to accompany it.
Anyone want to give this a shot? If so, please make it a square image and try to include this text:

What program did you use for that? It's reminding me of MS Paint but it's obviously a bit better than that. Damn, I miss MS Paint.
ANYWAY...your sketch grossed me out a bit, Jeff. And that's pretty cool. haha. However, I'd like to go with something a bit more iconic or simple to make space for the words if possible. The whole stiletto heel thing got my mind reeling. I wonder if something as simple as the following image (or a rendition of it) would make enough sense in regard to the title and theme of the song:

Or...or...if you can maybe just having the heel going into the brain (no eyes or face on the brain.) I think there's definite potential in that. I just want to make sure the image is recognizable when viewed in a thumbnail format as that's how most people will be introduced to it.

haha, that foot-heel is way grosser than the sketch.
Using photoshop... think it's the no shading/ texture that makes you think of MS paint. I miss those MS paint jobs too..
thought the eyes could convey some emotion/ distinguish it from a grey puddle, but agree it's a bit much. got that feeling from the song...
think it's the angle/ composition too, maybe a side view would read better..
Getting a cat tomorrow... but I'll def mess with it some more, make it more 'sleek'

Can we pretend this song is about bloody brains? Because I seemed to think so anyway... Just thought I'd give it a shot but all I came up with is the bloody brain. *shrugs*

Huh. This could work. You could put that bloody brain NBS image where the SFR face is, remove the part that says "records" and then just center all of the text. That could work really well as a thumbnail image.

It's common to find triple outboards on a center-console this size, but sticking with twins might be best if top speed isn't your goal: Grady-White tests show almost identical optimum cruising speed and economy for twin- and triple-Yamaha 350 four-strokes. Both packages produce a shade over 30 mph (48.3 kph) optimum cruise, at about 1 mpg (.43 kpl).
Textiles's Loss Was Boating's Gain
Founded in 1959 by Glenn Grady and Don White, since 1968 Grady-White has been owned by Eddie Smith, Jr. Grady-White was known for building excellent boats, but by the late 1960s fiberglass was becoming the preferred boatbuilding material; Grady-White hesitated to make the switch from building lapstrake wooden hulls, and paid the price. A lifelong sportsman, Eddie Smith, then 26 years old, didn't want to make his career in his father's successful textile business (mail order panty hose), thought he could turn Grady-White around, and convinced his father to lend him the cash to buy the boatbuilder. Smith said his father was certain the company would fail anyway, and then his son would come back into the family business.
One advantage of a boat this size is plenty of beam, enough to fit triple seats at the helm and leave enough room to pass easily on either side when fighting a fish. We like the armrests to keep folks from sliding, the grabrails next to the seats and on the helm, and the full-width footrests.
But Smith didn't fail, and today Grady-White is known for building some of the world's best small production sportfishing boats. The company consistently ranks at the top of its category in customer satisfaction surveys, and repeatedly wins the J.D. Powers award for Coastal Fishing Boats. Eddie Smith himself has been recognized for lifetime achievement by the American Sportfishing Association, and has also been honored by the International Game Fish Association and many others for his commitment to fishing and the environment. Most Grady-White employees are also fishermen and –women, and you'll find a company boat at almost every major tournament. Nothing beats using a boat to find out what works and what doesn't, so fishing for the Grady-White folks is both business and pleasure.
Electronics live in an enclosure that opens and closes electrically, with room for two big multifunction displays. There's an electronics box overhead, on the underside of the stylish T-top, standard equipment on the Canyon 366. Its frame is painted aluminum, and it's fitted with LED lights, stereo speakers and an overhead hatch.
Hulls By Hunt
Although Grady-White creates the overall design of the boats, since 1989 the running bottoms have come from the naval architectural firm of C. Raymond Hunt Associates in Boston. Inspired by the often rigorous conditions fishermen find both locally, in the Outer Banks inlets, and worldwide, the Hunt SeaV2 hulls utilize continuously variable deadrise and wide chines to produce a smooth-riding and stable hull. The SeaV2 hull is sharper amidships than most deep-Vs: around 30 degrees of deadrise where the hull meets the water when running on plane. That's the area of the hull that contributes most to a comfortable ride. Aft, the deadrise flattens to about 20 degrees, less than the 23 or 24 degrees of a "classic" deep-V (a design that C. Raymond Hunt developed in the early 1960s); lower deadrise back there makes a hull faster and more stable.
Red lights preserve night vision, but we think the glare of the electronics displays might offset that feature. The T-top comes with canvas port and starboard, to make the helm cozy at night or on a rainy, windy day. A tempered-glass windshield is standard.
Plywood? No Problem for Grady-White
It's common for boatbuilders today to promote their "wood-free" construction, with high-density foam used to core transoms, stringers and other hull supports. In days past, most builders used plywood in these areas, usually – but not always – encapsulated with resin and/or fiberglass fabric. On their 18- to 30-foot models, Grady-White still uses plywood in their hull structure, high-quality plywood that's treated to prevent rot, then carefully installed to ensure a long and happy life. (The company covers their boats with a limited lifetime warranty and G-W takes its warranties very seriously.) However, on the 366 the company uses a fiberglass stringer system, which they say lightens the boats for performance. On all models, including the 366s, there is basic floatation provided to ensure safety.
Grady-White calls their helm seating a "Deluxe Lean Bar." It includes a complete rigging station with a freshwater sink and 164-qt. (155.2 l) cooler, knife and pliers holders, lure holder and a 41-gallon (155.2 l) livewell. There are lockable tackle drawers and stowage lockers, and a 6-rig rocket launcher. All this is standard, but you can get...
... this 1300-watt electric grill instead of the sink. It turns the lean bar into an alfresco barbeque stand, ideal for feeding the crew or entertaining friends at the dock or while enjoying a quiet anchorage. OK, for that, you'll need the optional 4-kW genset, too – it's a diesel, so requires a separate fuel tank, but is safer than gasoline and creates less hazardous exhaust fumes. Adding the grill preserves most of the fishing gear at the lean bar; you lose only the sink.
Like almost every center console, the Canyon 366 has V seating in the bow – there are fishboxes underneath -- but it's convertible to a dinette with the optional motorized table. When lunch is over, the table will lower to create a sunpad; just throw on the extra cushion and catch some rays. If you don't want the table, a simple insert converts the V seats to a casting platform; cushions create a sunpad.
Center consoles aren't noted for sumptuous cabins, but one as big as the Canyon 366 has room for some creature comforts. There's a double berth, a good place for some of the crew to hang out during the long run offshore to the fishing grounds. There's a refrigerator and sink, and a microwave oven is optional. You can even have a 15" flat-screen TV in here, with a DVD player, and air conditioning. (Add all this, and you'll really need the genset.)
The head area has a shower, but a 6-gal. (22.7 L) water heater is optional; it includes a transom shower, though. The W.C. is a VacuFlush, plumbed to a 10-gal. (37.9 L) holding tank with overboard pump-out. Boats like the Canyon 366 are often far enough offshore to pump the holding tank legally, but remember to secure the Y-valve when in no-discharge zones in case the authorities decide on a spot inspection.
The console is cozy, but livable. Since this is a Grady-White, there's a vertical rod rack here along with extra stowage. The bulkhead and sole are cherry. The small side windows in the console let in a little natural light, but there's also dome lighting and recessed LEDs. We think this would be a good spot to snooze while somebody else drives out to where the big fish swim; otherwise, we'd have to nap on the aft bench in the cockpit.
Grady-White offers the Canyon 366 with either twin or triple Yamaha 350-hp four-stroke outboards, but our local dealer said that triple 300-hp Yamahas were also available. At first glance, we'd think a boat this size (12,850 lbs, or 5,829 kg, without power) would need the triples, but after checking performance figures supplied by the company we're not sure. (We haven't tested this boat ourselves, and are taking the builder's word on performance data.) While the triple-OB boat with the 350s went faster – 55.3 mph (89.0 kph) vs. 46.4 mph (74.7 kph), both boats cruised most economically at virtually the same speed – 30.4 (48.9 kph) vs. 30.2 (48.6 kph) and burned almost the same amount of fuel. Cruising range in either case is about 390 miles (629 k) with a 10% reserve. We have no data on performance with triple 300-hp.
Since big Yamaha four-strokes don't come cheap, we might give up some top end in the interests of lower initial and maintenance costs with twins, unless we badly needed top speed.
Although triples do look pretty cool, especially combined with the Canyon 366's wide beam and low profile. Maybe we'd split the difference and get triple 300-hp. Either set-up preserves a little bit of platform; the transom door makes access easy, at least to the starboard side.
Grady-White builds very nice boats across their entire model line, and there's at least one Grady on almost every fisherman's dream list. Add to that the company's reputation for integrity and excellent customer service, and it's a no-brainer. We strongly recommend the Canyon 366 if you're in the hunt for a capable offshore center console.
When the sun goes down the LED courtesy lights illuminate the cockpit like a Las Vegas nightclub. When do the dancing girls come on? The bench seat on the forward console will seat three thin people, two beefy fishermen comfortably.
What about price? Our dealer gave us an MSRP for the Canyon 366 with twin Yamaha 350s of $373,609; with triple 300-hp, $399,590, and with triple 350s, $414,015. That's without options, but the standard boat has all the gear you need for fishing, unless you want outriggers, which are optional. If you simply want a boat to take you out fishing, you can buy a standard Canyon 366, load your rods and tackle and head offshore. And we would be happy to do that aboard this big center console.

Knitter's Review
February 11, 2010
You've mastered the knit and the purl stitch. You've played with yarn-overs, you've even turned a few cables. What next?
How about a little brioche? And I'm not talking about the baked variety.
Brioche stitch is known by many names, including Shaker rib, English rib, Fisherman's rib, and Prime rib. It involves working slipped stitches and yarn-overs to create a double thickness of fabric with raised lines of ribbing. Nancy Marchant explores the many creative possibilities for this stitch in her new book, Knitting Brioche.

The water for this Saturday's sprint tri has blue green algae. Because of it, they will have the tri as well as a duathlon option. I did a half in April and 4 previous sprint tris but never a duathlon.
I get hives from scented laundry soap/softeners, so I'm thinking I should do the duathlon. The duathlon will be 2 mi run, 10 mi bike, 3 mi run.
Will my body be prepared for those distances if I've been training for a swim, bike and run?
Thursday is my last training day. The plan was to get in the pool, but should I be running then biking? Or doing something else? If so, what and for how long?
What else should I be prepared for physically and/or mentally?
How thick is the algae? It can be a bit "icky" to swim in with it clinging to your hands, feet and googles but it isn't harmful. I would think you would know if your are allergic. You can always wait a few seconds and swim behind those breaking through the algae mats. You should be fine if you decide on the duathlon if you have been consistently training with 3-5 mile runs. The first run is usually faster but watch your pace. Biking off the run is a lot easier than running off the bike. If you have doing bricks you will have a good feel for the second run. On a Thursday before a Saturday race (assuming the duathlon), you should do a light run and bike (in either order but you may want to see how it feels to bike after the run) just to stretch the legs in both. Don't go too hard for very long although a couple of hard intervals are ok.
Good luck and have fun. You'll do great!
how'd it go?
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
Thanks for asking.
About 15 of us opted for the duathlon - 2 mi run, 10 mi bike, 3 mi run. Two of the men had bad previous experiences with blue green algae after two different tris, which made me feel better about not swimming. This was 5 hours from home for me, so I didn't see the water condition until the morning of. It didn't look scummy or smell bad, but I just didn't want to risk it, especially since I had to drive 5 hours home solo.
My first run was a really good time for me, so I now I know what pace I'm capable of doing for at least 2 miles. It was hotter and more humid than I would have liked. I tried hard to train at different times of day to account for that.
My bike was one of my better times, though it seemed to take longer than usual for my legs to get going. The beginning and end of the bike course was very serpentine. My second run did me in - I did walk some in the 1/4-1/2 mile area. I did jog, but I often felt like I was just walking fast and swinging my arms. My time for the run leg was definitely the worst in all of my tris. I went in figuring it would be a good learning experience regardless of what happened and it was.
For my last training day, I ran a mile, jumped on my bike, then ran a 1/4 mi.
My sleeping pattern the night before an event is pretty fitful, more so when I travel out of town (I think I'm fearful of oversleeping). I'm not particularly achy or extremely fatigued - I'm usually one with the sofa after any event for a good snooze.
Now I know to be physically and mentally prepared for later season events for blue green algae.

Augusta, GA (April 2, 2013) – The Augusta Sports Council (ASC) is thrilled to announce legendary major league baseball player Chipper Jones will be the special guest speaker for the 22nd Annual Greater Augusta Medals for Excellence in Sports (G.A.M.E.S.) Awards banquet on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at the Augusta Marriott at the Convention Center.
Chipper Jones joined the Atlanta Braves in 1995 as the starting third baseman which ultimately lead to the Braves' World Championship that year. Jones is an 8-time All-Star with 468 home runs, over 1600 RBI's, a .303 career batting average in over 2,500 games played. He was voted the National League MVP in 1999 and is expected to be a first ballot Hall-of-Famer. Jones will be remembered as one of the best switch hitters and third basemen to play the game.
Jones will share his story with the recipients of the 2013 G.A.M.E.S. Awards. Created in 1992, the G.A.M.E.S. Awards program highlights the outstanding amateur athletes who represent a broad spectrum of sports disciplines in the CSRA, and awards two scholarships to rising college freshmen. Awards are presented to high school athletes in the categories of All-Around Athlete, Outstanding Athlete, Rising Star and Outstanding Team. Special recognition is also paid to an outstanding high school coach, officials, in addition to club sport, collegiate and adaptive athletes.
"It is exciting to host such an elite athlete to our awesome city for an event that recognizes the best of the best of our local amateur athletes," said Brinsley Thigpen, Chief Executive Officer at ASC.
"Chipper Jones' success with the Atlanta Braves will hopefully mirror the future achievements of the athletes we will honor. I encourage our community to attend this event and nominate athletes who they feel should be awarded for their accomplishments."
The ASC is now accepting nominations for the 2013 G.A.M.E.S. Awards. All nominees must be at least of high school age and residents of Richmond, Columbia, McDuffie, Burke or Aiken Counties. Nomination forms are available at www.AugustaSportsCouncil .org or by contacting the ASC at 706.722.8326. The deadline is April 19, 2013.

Every great outfit begins with the perfect plus size top. Whether you're combining a plus size top with a skirt, pants or shorts, developing the right look for your outfit means that you're choosing the elements of it with care. While this can be a challenge if you're not sure where to look, Alight takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect plus size tops. Alight offers plus size tops, blouses and shirts. And, selecting the right one for you starts with just two questions.
What features do you want to flatter or minimize? Choosing plus size tops should start with how you want to look wearing them. What do plus size tops that you feel make you look your best emphasize? If you're looking to flatter your bustline, a scoop neck or v-neck chosen from Blue Plate plus size blouses or Alight plus size shirts will highlight that feature tastefully. The seams and darts of plus size tops are often well designed to accentuate bustlines. You should also consider plus size tops in bright colors as these draw the eye upward from the waist. On the other hand, maybe you'd like to minimize a feature. Or, you may be feeling less than confident (as many women do) about your hips, thighs, or belly. If so, lighter colors are a feature to look for in choosing your plus size tops. In terms of shaping, plus size tops like an A-line or empire waste blouse chosen from among the plus size tops in the Fashion Love collection are well made and flattering. Whatever your body type or features, you will find the right plus size tops at Alight and in a price range you'll love. Alight has something beautiful for every woman and every body.
Are you shopping for business wear, evening wear or casual plus size tops? For business wear, the Button Shirt by Fashion Love is a good choice. Or, if your office is more casual, one of the belted shirts by Angela, available in basic black or eggplant are fun plus size tops to choose from. And, they still convey style and professionalism, making them perfect for the office. For casual wear, sleeveless (like the Tail Back Top by Fashion Love) or short-sleeved plus size tops (like Alight's Blue Dotted Line Top) are great year-round in cotton, polyester or a blend of fabrics. And, for an evening out, the lace halters by NaNa are fun, sexy and affordable plus size tops.
Starting your search for plus size tops can seem overwhelming. Finding plus size tops that fit, flatter and are appropriate for work or play—many shops make that bewildering. But, by browsing Alight, you can make the hunt easy and simple. With Alight's selection, designers and prices, you will find plus size tops in no time. And, in the process, you'll find great bargains and the perfect plus size tops to complete your wardrobe.

Elderly Americans Living With Children Are More Unhappy
Young children are supposed to bring joy into their grandparent's lives. But according to two researchers, elderly Americans who live with children under the age of 18 experience inferior living situations and worse emotional health than those who don't.
In a new working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, researchers Angus Deaton of Princeton University and Arthur A. Stone of the State University of New York at Stony Brook examine Gallup data from the Healthways Well-Being Index and World Poll to determine the connection between participants' self-assessments of their well-being and the presence of young children in the home.
American adults between the ages of 34 and 46 living with children — mostly parents of the children — experience some increased negative emotions, but unlike Americans over the age of 65, they also experience enhanced positive emotions. Elderly Americans report more stress, worry and anger as well as reduced happiness and enjoyment. "None of this is to argue that some elderly do not take pleasure in their grandchildren or in children of those with whom they live. But, on average, we can find no evidence of it," write Messrs. Deaton and Stone.
The researchers acknowledge that negative outcomes come partly due to the selection. Elderly Americans may be more likely to live in multigenerational homes as a result of poor health conditions and income constraints, in which case negative outcomes result regardless of their living arrangements. But even with controls for socioeconomic characteristics and health factors, American elders living with children had worse outcomes.
In areas around the world with higher fertility rates—where multi-generational homes are more the norm—the elderly residing with young children didn't report experiencing inferior living situations.
The research comes as multi-generational housing has been on the rise in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau reported in 2012 that the share of families with three or more generations in a household had increased from 3.7 percent in 2000 to 4 percent in 2010.

Free software can be viewed as sort of a public good — everyone can benefit from it. Instead of paying for complete applications, buyers may wish to only pay for specific program elements they want, which the software lacks. Therein lies an opportunity to make money on free software, instead of around it.
Seeing how free software programmers seldom gain financial benefit directly from their software, I have sought to imagine a way to sell freedom respecting software on the existing market, playing by its rules. Some of you, having read the title "Pay Per Patch", may have already started seeing the outline of the idea. It is, of course. about selling individual software patches in a way which would provide quality and four freedoms to the buyer, all the while being able to provide income to the developer. How exactly this can be realized is the question I will try to address shortly. I would like you, the free software community, to peer-review it and offer your constructive criticism.
Development as a service
First, it is important to understand why the traditional way of "selling software" is incompatible with freedom respecting software. The problem lies in the fact that the existing market tends to treat software as a tangible product. It is becoming increasingly clear that this is a mistaken approach to selling many virtual goods. But even more, viewing software as a consumable is contrary to the free software definition. Once free software is sold, four freedoms give the user ownership of their copy, including the ability to further make and distribute other copies (freeedom 2). Thus, repeated sales become implausible. Therefore, my goal is to create a viable commercial model that would make the first sale profitable.
Most today's commercial free software models focus on things around the actual software, for example: Support, ads or hardware. I took a different route, one where software development itself is viewed as a service, which — as I will attempt to show — doesn't necessarily require that every company has in-house programmers on its payroll, nor does it necessitate signing any contracts with developers. That there is a demand for software features, and that there are people able and willing to satisfy it is a fact. We need to solve the remaining question, which is how to easily connect the two groups, so that buyers can pay for services they require.
If programmers are paid for work whose end product is released as free software, it follows that complete applications can be viewed as sort of a public good — virtually everyone can benefit from them. That being the case, there is no need for buyers to pay for applications. Instead of paying for complete software solutions, buyers may wish to pay only for specific program elements they want, which the software lacks. All such elements, regardless of whether they be basic functionality or new features, can be submitted in the form of patches. Paying for patches costs the buyer less than it would cost to pay for the whole application, and it ensures further development of the software they are using.
The model
The realization of the Pay Per Patch model as I imagine it is a system based on well established concepts such as bug tracking systems, wiki-like collaboration, and escrow sites. I call the said mix a "bazaar". Bazaars are essentially online meeting places for programmers and software users, where supply and demand converge and create software patches. Bazaars may be accessed via web pages or native clients — both of which use common, well defined protocols to exchange information about patches and users (workers and buyers). Whether the actual data is hosted on few central servers, or circulated around in a distributed, peer-to-peer manner doesn't matter — as long as it is available and searchable on demand. If this sounds too abstract, it is sufficient for now to imagine a bazaar as a single web site which hosts patch descriptions, where the users are programmers and buyers. Indeed, that is one of the possible solutions.
How it works
Let me now describe the nature of patches and processes involved in describing and creating them. Put quite simply, everything is a patch: A new feature, a bug fix, a new set of icons, or even a project fork. Descriptions of patches are submitted by whomever, and likewise edited by anyone in a wiki-like fashion; meaning collaboration, discussions, and democracy. Same goes for their splitting and merging. Once a certain amount of time for editing has passed, under the condition that most contributors are satisfied with the final result, the patch description becomes definite and escrowing can commence.
Money is contributed by interested investors and entrusted to a third party — a micropayment service, a bank, or the website's facilities. Upon completion of the work, the chosen programmer (or a team of programmers) is awarded the aforementioned payment. The motivation behind paying vs. waiting for others to pay is that patches which pay more are more likely to attract the developers' attention, including those with good reputation. Paying ensures the software patch is made promptly and that the end result is satisfactory. Furthermore, if an upper pay limit is set, the more buyers there are, the less they need to pay individually. Naturally, it follows that popular patches (those with more buyers) will be solved first.
Since bugs are patches, to eliminate potential abuse and to motivate the programmer to write quality code, there is also a trial period after the patch is completed, reserved for testing for bugs. The original programmer may fix bugs that were found or, alternatively, a third party can do that for him (eg. a bug hunter), which will then be awarded a part of the total sum. The end result is voted on by all buyers according to their share in the investment. Once they find it has met the requirements from the patch description, the invested money is finally paid out to the programmer(s) involved in the making of the patch.
A global market
Ultimately, it is expected that most bazaars provide publicly accessible data, which they share among each other. This creates a global market for buying and selling software related services (most importantly, programming work). The interface for data exchange can be defined by a committee of bazaars, and all featured servers and clients must be conform with it. Software projects could have their own bazaars, or use specialized hosting services instead. Upgrading revision control sites to share data and provide the necessary requirements is a possible solution. Borrowing from the old should make the transition fairly simple.
Users would be able to choose whichever bazaar they prefer for accessing the shared data. Their choice would no doubt be influenced by extra tools and other provided features. If those features prove useful and are universally applicable, they could enter the official exchange protocol specification. However, submarkets or even private bazaars can be desirable at times. Submarkets may be defined by characteristics such as language: For example, a Croatian buyer might prefer Croatian speaking programmers, and may visit one of his local bazaars. It is also conceivable that companies might want to be able to control patch descriptions, applicants or impose any additional contract terms at their own discretion, and this would necessitate a private (disconnected) bazaar.
One might wonder what is stopping companies that produce non-free software from applying this model to their business? The answer is - nothing really, but this is not a problem. The popularization of Pay Per Patch is in our interest: We get buyers accustomed to paying for features, who can now more easily see the advantages provided by freedom respecting software in comparison to proprietary programs, whether those be vendor independence, peer review of the code, open participation, or any number of practical advantages resulting from having four basic freedoms.

Prior art
Mike Linksvayer has brought to my attention the existence of a similar model to the one I laid out here. Readers may want to see the Linux Magazine post mentioned here for any "prior art": https://identi.ca/conversation/55248200
To my knowledge, however, there is no infrastructure that offers services described here. Pay Per Patch still needs work, so comments are encouraged. I would like to hear from parties interested in developing this further - please send your e-mails to: luka DOT marcetic AT foi DOT hr
Note also that in order to be able to post ordinary comments here, you need to be logged in.
Sounds good but...
On the face of it this sounds like a good idea. Indeed I know of a few cases where particular functions or features have been sponsored by "investors" or groups of them. Reimbursing the coder for their time (instead of for the code) is at the heart of any sustainable software development model.
That said I can foresee some issues with this idea. Firstly you have based some of it on a popularity contest. History tells us that popularity does not always give a good idea of what is best. What happens when the developers want to take the software in a new direction but all the users want them to do is add feature X (which coincidentally mimics the leading proprietary alternative). Add to this that feature X might not be a good idea and you start running into situations whereby nobody wants to pay for what *needs* to be done.
Secondly what happens if the patch doesn't meet the expectation of the investor? Do they get their money back? Is this a legal contract or just a donation with strings?
As a programmer I can tell you that there have been several cases when end-users have made requests which have been dangerously sparse in substance. I can also tell you that sometimes I have been asked to add something which would turn the product into something else entirely. While I am all for including users in development direction (indeed user consultation is vital to software development and project management) I worry that there could be undeserved negative kudos for a project simply because "investors" don't get what they think they have asked for.
Having said all that the idea does have merit and it is worth pursuing some kind of infrastructure to support it. Most of the models like this I have seen rely on investors making online payments or pledges and once the target is reached the developer sets about the work.
BTW FSM used to have anonymous commenting but the signal to noise (e.g. spam) ratio was too low. Even with the requirement to have an account you'd be surprised at the amount of spam that gets posted here as comments but requiring logins puts many spammers off.
Equitas IT Solutions - fairness, quality, freedom
Re: Sounds good but...
Thanks for your comment. Let me take it from the top:
>What about necessary unpopular features?
Indeed you are correct, if you fail to convince your users that a version update is necessary, you fall back to voluntarism for that particular feature. This is something not easily solved. I have thought about how to encourage unpopular innovation, but I have yet to think of something better than what we already have - ie "support project" donations. Taking it further, it is questionable whether the community will be able to sponsor research the way mega-corporations do. Pay Per Patch is about commercialization of free software, and right now that means tending to user's needs: Even if that sometimes means waiting for them to realize that they have a need.
>What happens if the patch doesn't meet the expectation of the investor? Do they get their money back? Is this a legal contract or just a donation with strings?
Investors do get their money back, and so we rely on the good will of the majority to judge the resulting patch fairly. I hope contracts aren't necessary (for public bazaars anyway); instead, developers take the risk of not being paid for something their users dislike. However, this may be slightly rectified by a hinted reputation system, using which we can introduce the guaranteed percentage for developer's time - and ensure that the same won't be abused. A similar reputation system may be applied to investors, so we can hopefully altogether exclude "poisonous" people.
Programmers, as well as users are involved in patch descriptions. It is expected that discussions would sort out any misunderstandings. It is only after this patch description making period that the users who remain interested can start investing, and programmers can start offering services (ie bid). No one is forced to invest if their feature is not explicitly mentioned in the final patch description, and only capable and willing programmers should offer their services.
P.S. About comments: I understand that spam is a problem, but comments have now become rare. One thing that might help is removing the confusing "Writing a full post in response to an article" for users not logged in, and introducing a simple "login to post comments" instead. But this may be the CMS' problem.

My second browser. I only use it for pages not rendered ok in Safari, o for development (thanks to a bunch of great extension). It would became #1 if i'd have a more consistent look with the OS.
still #1 but pretty much still sucks. it sucks that the really really nice keyboard shortcuts from aqaua textboxes dont work. I'm thinking -K, -A, -E, -Y ......
they are really handy, especially for those of us who are used to hacking on tcsh terminals anyways
Still #1 :)
Optimized builds can be found "here":http://www.furbism.com/firefoxmac/
it can do... this site explains it all. http://www.takebacktheweb.org/
Once a universal binary version comes out, i'll be much happier. Still a great browser on my intel mac though.
I think it looks just luuvely in the latest versions. Also, safari isn't a real alternative for us javascript hackers. :)
Meh⦠I wish it looked decent on OS X.

A 10-member delegation from the Palo Alto Unified School District traveled to Illinois on Wednesday to meet with current and former colleagues of the finalist for the job of superintendent.
The so-called "validation visit" is one of the final steps in the process to replace outgoing Superintendent Kevin Skelly.
The district has yet to divulge the name of the finalist. Reached by cellphone, Board of Education President Barb Mitchell said the finalist has asked for anonymity until the appointment is official.
"We're honoring our finalist's request to have a few days to prepare communications on their end," said Mitchell, adding that she was "80 percent" certain the district would make a formal announcement Friday.
"We can't wait to talk about it," she said.
Today, the delegation is slated to meet with current and former colleagues of the finalist at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora, Ill. The finalist does not currently work at the public school, Mitchell said.
"This institution was a convenient place for a variety of former and current colleagues to meet," she said.
The delegation is comprised of Board of Education members Melissa Baten Caswell, Heidi Emberling, Camille Townsend and Mitchell; Associate Superintendent Charles Young; Palo Alto Managers Association President and JLS Middle School Principal Sharon Ofek; Palo Alto Educators Association President and Addison Elementary School kindergarten teacher Teri Baldwin; California School Employees Association and Barron Park Elementary School special education instructional aide Meb Steiner; Palo Alto Parent Teacher Student Association incoming President Susan Usman; and Partners in Education Foundation incoming President Asha Guha.
Mitchell said it has become commonplace for districts to conduct validation visits in their searches for superintendents. They provide a "real sense of the person" selected for the job.
"It's pretty standard practice," she said.
The same process was used in 2007 when Skelly was chosen as a finalist for Palo Alto Unified, Mitchell said.
Skelly announced his resignation in February, saying he needed a break. The decision was entirely his, according to both Skelly and Mitchell.
The cost of the trip to Illinois was not immediately available, but Mitchell said it included airfare and a one-night stay in a hotel for each member of the delegation. Two vans were also rented.
One potential frontrunner for the job is Glenn W. "Max" McGee, who served as president of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy from 2007 to 2013. For the past year, he has headed the Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science in New Jersey.
In a statement announcing McGee's decision to leave the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, Board of Trustees Chairwoman Sheila MB Griffin credited him with improving support systems for struggling students, as well as capturing the Intel Schools of Distinction Star Innovator Award, the top honor in the United States for science education.
Asked whether McGee was the finalist, Mitchell reiterated the district's promise to keep the identity under wraps.
"I look forward to introducing our finalist to the community," she said. "The board is excited. Our finalist is excited."

The pearl fishers[Les pêcheurs de perles]
Pictures / Videos
Georges Bizet (1838 – 1875) / At the Konzerthaus
Concert version, Konzerthaus Berlin
Opera in three acts; Libretto by Michel Carré and Eugène Cormon; First performance on 30 September 1863, Paris (Théâtre Lyrique)
In French language
|Guillermo García Calvo
|William Spaulding
|Ekaterina Siurina
|Joseph Calleja
|Christoph Pohl
|Ante Jerkunica
|Chor der Deutschen Oper Berlin
|Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin
"The Deutsche Oper gives a concertante performance of Georges Bizet's THE PEARL FISHERS and something remarkable happens. The performance makes do with four soloists, chorus and orchestra and everything goes off perfectly (…) an evening of music and song that conjures up memories of what sets opera apart from theatre - the capacity to sweep audiences away in a world of voices." Such was the enthusiastic review in the Berliner Zeitung after the concert premiere in the Deutsche Oper Berlin in December 2011. On a single evening this early work from 1863 by the future composer of CARMEN had taken the Berlin audience by storm with its exotic colour of distant climes and in particular its charming melodies, of which the famous duet "Au fond du temple saint" for tenor and baritone is but one of many. The evening showed that, if life is to be breathed into a simple love triangle, it is not an opera stage that is needed but great singers. And this performance of THE PEARL FISHERS marked a triumph for Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja, wildly applauded by the audience in his role as Nadir. Following the runaway success of the evening a repeat performance has been scheduled for this season. Joseph Calleja appears again.

One case involved a six-year-old boy who became ill after returning from China. The second, unrelated case is a toddler also arriving from China.
"Both are in good condition at home and did not require hospitalization," said Doug Venevento, the executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
Health officials are quick to point out that there still have not been any severe cases of SARS in Colorado. They also emphasize that in Colorado there has been no transmission of the infection to family members or to health care workers who have cared for the suspect cases.

The most important pursuit is making the person standing at your side happy, for that alone is the pursuit of life.

Senate Passes Child Nutrition Bill: Now What?
Last week, the Senate unanimously passed the Child Nutrition Reauthorization, a bill that would do just about everything to improve the school lunch program – except fund it. This is no small exception, considering that a tiny percentage of schools are currently able to follow the USDA's nutrition regulations. How will they be able to comply with improved regulations with only six additional cents per lunch? And, although it passed in the Senate, the bill may still die on the House floor because some in Congress think even six cents is too much.
The school lunch debate has devolved entirely into a fight over the budget, and a rather disingenuous one at that. If members of Congress truly need to cut the budget somewhere in order to adequately fund healthy school lunches, they need not look further than the Pentagon. Representatives and Senators so love to fund weapons programs that provide jobs in their districts that they continue purchasing fighter jets even after the Pentagon begs them not to. (For example, the C-17, the F-35 engine, and the F-22.)
Dueling Pigs
by Edward Schneider
Jackie and I started buying pork from Flying Pigs Farm at the Union Square farmers' market years ago, but we keep ordering pig meat in restaurants that claim that theirs is somehow special. And we keep being disappointed: other pork rarely has as much flavor as Jen and Mike's – Jen Small and Mike Yezzi being the farmers. Rarely, but not never: We were impressed a while ago with a Mangalitsa loin (see Mark's account of a similar roast) and thought it might be fun to cook one of those simultaneously with Jen and Mike's and see which was more popular among our guests.
Well, the distributor was fresh out of Mangalitsa, but had just received something that sounded interesting: small (one-and-a-third-pound) roasts cut from the shoulder of Ibérico pigs, the black ones that are known mainly for the exquisite hams their legs get turned into. I ordered two, one of them destined for the freezer.
Vitamin Water Lawsuit
Here are two reports, one from John Robbins and the other from Michele Simon, on CSPI's (Center for Science in the Public Interest) lawsuit against Coke, specifically their Vitamin Water. According to John Robbins, Coke is defending itself by claiming that "no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking Vitaminwater was a healthy beverage." Gotta love that. -mb
Cuke = Hot Dog Bun? Why Not?
by Cathy Erway
Perhaps it's a maternal instinct of tucking things in, but I'm a fan of stuffing food inside other food. So when I signed up for the Great Hot Dog Cookoff for the third time this year, all I could think of was: what's going to be the bun?
Previous exploits in this cookoff, a benefit for City Harvest, had led me to roll up tofu dogs inside nori with sushi rice, bake a hot dog inside a flaky pastry with brie and raspberry jam, and steam Asian buns to put hoisin-slathered hot dogs inside. What was going to be the vessel for the almighty (and, in my opinion, otherwise boring) American barbecue food this year?
Senate Passes Child Nutrition Bill, Cuts Funding For Food Stamps
by Paula Crossfield
In a surprise move last week before heading out for five weeks of recess, the Senate passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act with unanimous consent, which means all 100 senators agreed to pass the bill without an individual vote. The bill allots an additional $4.5 billion dollars over ten years to fund federal child nutrition programs including school lunch.
First Lady Michelle Obama supported the bill as part of her Let's Move campaign to fight childhood obesity, writing in an op-ed in The Washington Post last week,"This groundbreaking legislation will bring fundamental change to schools and improve the food options available to our children."
Sunday Supper: Gazpacho
For another steamy Sunday, here's one of the best cold dishes in the world (and it's barely any work to make). Adapted from How To Cook Everything.
Gazpacho, Fast and Simple
Makes: 4 servings
Time: About 20 minutes
No one can definitively say what "gazpacho" is—you see it with grapes, with almonds, even with melon— and you can indeed make delicious gazpacho with all those things. This basic recipe is what you probably expect when you hear the word gazpacho, but with this formula you can replace the tomatoes and cucumber with fruits of similar texture and change the soup in infinite ways.
2 pounds tomatoes, roughly chopped, or one
28-ounce can (include the juices)
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded if you like, and chopped
2 or 3 slices bread, a day or two old, crusts removed, torn into small pieces
1 /4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar, or more to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Combine the tomatoes, cucumber, bread, oil, vinegar, and garlic with 1 cup water in a blender; process until smooth. If the gazpacho seems too thick, thin with additional water.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve immediately (or refrigerate and serve within a couple of hours), garnished with a drizzle of olive oil.
Shiso Fine
by Kerri Conan
There are a lot of things we could do with the purple shiso in our herb garden. My husband Sean and I have tried several: like marinate the leaves whole in a sesame-soy concoction, shred a few into salads and stir-fries, and scrunch several into a jar of carrot pickles. Other ideas we have yet to explore: shiso pesto, tempura, or tea.
But we usually enjoy these sturdy leaves plain, to transport food from plate to mouth, as if you were eating with castanets. (Is this how shiso is often used in Japan? I've never been, but whenever the leaves are used to garnish my sushi, it never goes to waste.)

(Bright Brass), 609 (Antique Brass), 619 (Satin Nickel), 620 (Antique
Pewter), 621 (Distressed Nickel), 622 (Matte Black), 716 (Aged Bronze)
Care Guidelines: Lacquered or clear-coated finishes should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. A mile soap may be lightly used if very dirty. Particular care should be taken to avoid paint smears, thinners and strong cleaning agents as they will quickly destroy the protective coatings and subject the finished to rapid oxidation and discoloration. Initial care for finishes requires only periodic cleaning with mild non-abrasive soap and light buffing with a soft cloth.
Finish: 613
(Oil Rubbed Bronze)
Care Guidelines: Wipe with a little vegetable oil on a soft cloth. Too much oil may leave a residue to come off on the hands. Household detergents and mild abrasive powder may be used to restore the high metal color without seriously affecting the original compound of the metal. Then rub with a paste wax.
Finishes: 625
(Bright Chrome), 626
(Satin Chrome)
Care Guidelines: Wipe with a soft damp cloth. A high grade chrome polish may be used according to directions to clean and restore the original shine or satin finish.
