Health Insurance Marketplace getting ready to roll
"We are ready to service anybody," said Ray Hurd, regional administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Thursday's event, hosted by Harbor Homes of Nashua, stressed the importance of community health centers throughout the state that will assist consumers in understanding their coverage options in the new marketplace available under President Barack Obama's health care law.
The grants will make it possible for health centers throughout the state, including Harbor Homes, to assist the uninsured in enrolling in quality health coverage through the marketplace, according to health officials. Navigators are being trained on how to educate consumers about their new options.
The Health Insurance Marketplace is being described as a new way to find health coverage that fits specific budgets and meets specific needs. With a single application, every coverage option will be highlighted prior to enrollment, allowing participants to get lower costs on monthly premiums for private insurance plans.

Beth Myers has long been Mitt Romney's most trusted political adviser, so it's no surprise that he tasked her with the job of helping him find the right running mate
In an exclusive interview with CNN earlier this week, Myers described to CNN what the process entailed.
"He's very methodical in making his decisions, and what he wants is a couple things. First of all, he wants all the information, and we went about a very thorough process in making sure we had a lot of information about a broad group. He also doesn't like to rule anything out until he has to," she said.
She described the first group of possibilities as "broad."
"We got a good cut of information about a lot of people. He then narrowed it down, and we got even more information. We got personal information from each of the potential candidates. And at that point, again, we had some attorneys go thru and look thru everybody's record to make sure that there was--you know I didn't want to miss anything about them," she told CNN.
Next step was for Romney to look at the information about each candidate and to make his analysis of them.
"Mitt took these candidate dossiers and he thought about them. He read all of them word for word. I had talked with each of the candidates personally. He had obviously been campaigning with a lot of the folks that he was considering. And he read the dossiers, and we narrowed it down once again. And we did, you know an even more deep dive, on them and then gave them the final product," Myers explained.
Asked if he then solicited advice, Myers told CNN Romney would ask a wide range of people their opinion.
"He solicits the advice of a small group of his advisers, but then he asks I think everybody he meets 'what's your thought on this?'" She added "He listens. He asks, you know, sort of people you wouldn't think that he'd ask about it. He talks to, you know, he calls friends from all walks of his life, all across the country, wanting to know what they think. He listens to that."
While she knew the most about all of the candidates and their backgrounds, Myers did not tell Romney who she preferred for the job.
"I haven't told him. I have not shared with him my opinion because I think it's important that I'm objective."
Myers said Romney being comfortable with the choice was very important as well as making sure the person was qualified.
"I mean obviously his first qualification is that the person is qualified to be president and perceived to be qualified to be president."

Caldera OpenLinux 2.2
Manufacturer: Caldera Systems
E-mail: email@example.com
Price: $49.95 US
Reviewer: Jason Kroll
OpenLinux 2.2 is Caldera's latest "Linux for Business" distribution, a professional, productivity-oriented package that is highly functional, stable, secure, and especially easy to install and administer. OpenLinux comes with a number of productivity packages including Corel's WordPerfect 8 and StarOffice v.5, along with the typical Linux utilities and applications (even games) which are all incorporated into the menuing system of the K Desktop Environment. Also included is the Caldera Open Administration System (COAS), which is an easy-to-use graphical interface for dealing with configuration and administration issues (similar to a Control Panel on the Macintosh, but aimed at network administration).
OpenLinux 2.2 is installed from an autobooting CD-ROM by way of Caldera's graphical installation program Lizard (Linux Wizard, that is). Provided your computer has a CD-ROM drive, autobooting from the CD-ROM is achieved by pressing delete during startup and selecting the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, or you can start up the installation program from within the particular OS which comes by default on most PCs (MS Windows). OpenLinux's installation CD boots immediately to the graphical interface, which is actually easy to use. Once the Caldera graphic comes up (dancing people on part of a globe, presumably happy because Linux installation is so easy), Lizard will present a boot prompt, and if nothing is typed, will begin probing the hardware. Lizard's probing techniques are fairly thorough and if they do cause the computer to hang (with the diversity of hardware available, problems are bound to come up on some systems), typing install er=cautious at the boot prompt will tune down the probing and the installation should continue smoothly.
The graphical installation process, once begun, is extremely simple and consists of a few questions and answers. The first question is which language you would like your installation instructions in; the choices are English, German, French and Italian. Strangely, Lizard will not let you change your mind on this subject, so one is advised to be truthful. Once the language is chosen, Lizard configures the mouse; the mouse should work with the settings derived from Lizard's probe, and changes to the configuration could cause a malfunctioning pointer.
Lizard presents several partition options: entire hard disk, prepared partitions and custom. The first option simply prepares the entire hard disk for use with Linux; the second is used for situations in which one has already partitioned a drive for Linux. The final partition option is for "experts only" and is what the typical Linux user is used to: manual editing of partition information (gasp). All of this is quite simple. The only problem I noticed was that Lizard would sometimes ignore my swap partition, and I would have to go back and declare my swap partition again (just a simple back-and-forth clicking, like on a web browser). According to the documentation if you boot from Windows, PartitionMagic is invoked automatically to build the partitions for you. Once the partitions are formatted, selection of installation packages is made.
Unlike many Linux distributions, Caldera OpenLinux does not require a user to spend time picking and choosing particular packages. Four installation options are offered: minimal (server), recommended, recommended plus commercial (including WordPerfect and Star Office) and complete install (over one gigabyte of Linux software). I tried all four sizes, and I recommend one of the latter two, preferably the complete install if you have the space.
A clever technique of Lizard is that installation of packages proceeds while the user is still answering questions and configuring the system. Right after package selection has begun, the questions on keyboard layout, video card, monitor and networking are raised. Keyboard layout is just a typical straightforward selection (although "Finnish" is misspelled as "Finish"). The video card selection offers a probe function, which I recommend. On the test machine, Lizard correctly diagnosed the video card, while the probe discovered the correct amount of video memory. Monitor selection consists of choosing among over 1,700 monitors from a database. Obviously, some monitors may be missing from the list, but any monitor which is agreeable to VESA standards should be easily configured.
After the monitor has been selected, Lizard shows possible resolutions for running the X Window System and KDE. To test a particular resolution, simply select the resolution and click the test button. One difficulty I had is that Lizard showed a KDE screen instead of the standard X test pattern, which made it difficult to tell if I had a perfect setting. Still, it is quite an easy procedure: point and click until the test screen looks right.
Finally, just set the root password, add a few users, perhaps configure networking, and then all is ready to go!

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

07-28-2008, 08:07 PM #5I got to test drive a SS during the Kicks run. I like it a lot. Lots of get up n gone for a small turbo.
We did the launch control and shocked the others as we turned into the parking lot before we slowly backed into the parking spot with a big smile on my face.
The suspension was firm and held real good on the on ramp loop. We did a good acceleration from a stop as we left the toll both in Tulsa and seen 15 on the boost, then had to slow to pull into traffic, (disclaimer) We were only going "slightly faster than traffic".
I like the new location for the door switches and think the 2009 is going to be a great improvement from what I have seen with the Rear Panel version and the Full Panel available.
I am not a fan of the stiff suspension due to a back injury in 87, but would I own it... Errr H__ l ya!
If Chevy had not stopped the Sunburst Orange in 2009 I might trade into one.. We will see.

For example, scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences at the University of Kiel in Germany recently discovered that plankton consumes more carbon at higher atmospheric concentrations of CO2. "The plankton were carbon-enriched," says marine biologist Ulf Riebesell, who conducted the study. "There weren't more of them, but each cell had more carbon."
This could mean that microscopic ocean plants may potentially absorb more of the carbon emitted into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, other research (from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) has shown that such plankton does not make it to the seafloor in large enough amounts to sequester the carbon in the long term.
Further, such carbon-heavy plankton do not begin to appear until CO2 concentrations reach twice present values—750 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere compared with roughly 380 ppm presently (a level at which catastrophic change may be a certainty)—and they are less nutritious to all the animals that rely on them for food. "This mechanism is both too small and too late," Riebesell says. "By becoming more carbon-rich, zooplankton have to eat more phytoplankton to achieve the same nutrition" and, therefore, "they grow and reproduce more slowly."
The IPCC notes that there are cost-effective solutions, such as retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency, but says they must be implemented in short order to stem further damage. "We are 25 years too late," Schneider says. "If the object is to avoid dangerous change, we've already had it. The object now is to avoid really dangerous change."

Newton Wins Lincoln GP in Style
© Cheryl King
Chris Newton danced away on the final climb of the Lincoln Grand Prix to win the prestigious event for the second time in his career. A race that is always hotly contested by riders from home and abroad, the Lincoln GP is arguably the number one race on the British calendar.
Ten laps of Lincoln's historic streets including cobbled climbs and a technical course make for a demanding and entertaining three hours plus of racing. The Rapha Condor Sharp boys put on a superb display in front of record crowds, Kristian House stringing the field out early to show the British National Road Race champ and his team mates meant business. Olympic medallist Newton, looking to have found fine form at just the right time, used his tactical prowess to stay at the front and attack when it mattered. Speaking after his win he said: "I love riding my bike as much as ever", and it shows. Russell Downing, one of three Team Sky riders racing stated: "Rapha rode unbelievable today. They showed just what a professional outfit they are." Chapeau.

John Updike: The National Book Award– and Pulitzer Prize–winning author, who died today at 76, wrote this poem after reading a 1967 issue of Scientific American. He is pictured here receiving the Medal of Arts from Pres. George H. W. Bush.
Editor's note: These verses were composed after John Updike had read the September 1967 issue of Scientific American, which was devoted to materials. They appeared in his book Midpoint and Other Poems, and are reproduced with the generous permission of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. We are posting it to mark Updike's death today at the age of 76.
All things are Atoms: Earth and Water, Air
And Fire, all, Democritus foretold.
Swiss Paracelsus, in's alchemic lair,
Saw Sulfur, Salt, and Mercury unfold
Amid Mellennial hopes of faking Gold.
Lavoisier dethroned Phlogiston; hen
Molecular Analysis made bold
Forays into the gases: Hydrogen
Stood naked in the dazzled sight of Learned Men.
The Solid State, however, kept its grains
Of Microstructure coarsely veiled until
X-ray diffraction pierced the Crystal Planes
That roofed the giddy Dance, the taut Quadrille
Where Silicon and Carbon Atoms will
Like Valencies, four-figured, hand in hand
With common Ions and Rare Earths to fill
The lattices of Matter, Glass or Sand,
With tiny Excitations, quantitatively grand.
The Metals lustrous Monarchs of the Cave,
Are ductile and conductive and opaque
Because each Atom generously gave
Its own Electrons to a mutual Stake,
A Pool that acts as Bond. The Ions take
The stacking shapes of Spheres, and slip and
When pressed or dented; thusly Metals make
A better Paper Clip than a Window,
Are vulnerable to Shear, and heated, brightly glow.
Ceramic, muddy Queen of human Arts,
First served as simple Stone. Feldspar supplied
Crude Clay; and Rubies, Porcelain, and Quartz
Came each to light. Aluminum Oxide
Is typical ¬– a Metal is allied
With Oxygen ionically; no free
Electrons form a lubricating tide,
Hence, Empresslike, Ceramics tend to be
Resistant, porous, brittle, and refractory.
Prince Glass, Ceramic's son, though crystal-clear
Is no wise crystalline. The fond Voyeur
And Narcissist alike devoutly peer
Into Disorder, the Disorderer
Being Covalent Bondings that prefer
Prolonged Viscosity and spread loose nets
Photons slip through. The average Polymer
Enjoys a Glassy state, but cools, forgets
To slump, and clouds in closely patterned Minutes
The Polymers, those giant Molecules,
Like Starch and Polyoxymethylene,
Flesh out, as protein serfs and plastic fools,
The Kingdom with Life's Stuff. Our tme has seen
The synthesis of Polyisoprene
And many cross-linked Helixes unknown
To Robert Hooke; but each primordial Bean
Knew Cellulose by heart: Nature alone
Of Collagen and Apatite compounded Bone.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Lois M. Campbell
"For best results, mix your dough by hand. Lightly oil mold and blot with paper towel. Lightly flour mold and re-flour the mold before each cookie but DO NOT re-oil. Press a piece of dough firmly and evenly into the mold. Trim the back of the cookie so it's flush with the mold. Tap the dough from mold and place on a baking sheet in the top third of your oven until nicely browned - about 10 minutes."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
I really enjoyed making and eating these cookies. They were not too sweet, and the nutmeg gave the cookie a subtle and warm flavor. The consistancy was perfect for picking up the details of my ceramic mold, but I did have to add an additional teaspoon of milk to evenly mix in all the flour.
I used this recipe to make Halloween cookies with my Brown bag cookie mold. The process is time consuming, but well worth it. The cookies hold the impressions of the mold nicely. Be sure to chill the dough well and use a large egg, not an extra large or jumbo. Try substituting the milk with orange liqueur or one of your favorites.

On April 14, 1989, a law took effect that banned pit bull-type dogs from Miami-Dade County.
The ban followed a rash of attacks across the country, including one on a Kendall-area girl horribly bitten in the face.
Had the ban worked, Miami-Dade would have been pit bull-free years ago, since family pets grandfathered in under the law would be long dead.
Yet they're everywhere, in neighborhoods both swanky and seedy. Last year, 400 entered the Miami-Dade Animal Services Department shelter, mainly strays.
Pit bulls are so common and, advocates say, normalized, that Miami-Dade commissioners overwhelming voted to allow a ban repeal on the Aug. 14 ballot.
Commissioner Sally Heyman, a repeal supporter, said the original measure was "an emotional response to a travesty in 1989...Now it's time for us to make an intelligent decision.''
There's recent precedent. Earlier this year, the Ohio Legislature lifted a statewide ban. Ohio activist Jean Keating said that the story of NFL quarterback Michael Vick's 51 illegal fighting dogs helped, by showing them as victims of uncaring humans, "not the perpetrators.''
Only three were euthanized after federal agents raided Vick's Virginia fighting operation in 2007. Most of the rest live with families or in sanctuaries, and several became therapy dogs.
That tale of redemption "enabled people to enter into a conversation, whereas before, when the 'pit bull' word came up, the door slammed shut,'' said Keating.
After the door opened, lawmakers looked at the data, and "that was the key to turning the tide. We had people who were willing to put aside the emotional stuff and work together. ''
The data show the following:
• Breed-specific legislation (BSL), the umbrella term for targeted restrictions and bans, gives forbidden breeds a certain desperado cachet, so that exactly the wrong people want them.
"The rise of pit bull ownership among gang members and others in the late 1980s coincided with the first round of breed-specific legislation,'' says an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) position paper on breed-specific legislation. "If you outlaw a breed, then outlaws are attracted to that breed...to bolster their own self image as living outside of the rules of mainstream society.''
Animal Services officials say that illegal dog fighting has waned. The department hasn't handled a case in five years, said Operations and Enforcement chief, Kathleen Labrada. Even the pits that Animal Services picks up as strays are "sociable,'' she said.
• Pit bulls are no more aggressive than other breeds. The South Florida Veterinary Medical Association recently issued a statement supporting the repeal that cited a 40-year American Veterinary Medical Association bite study released in April, which notes that "owners of pit bull-type dogs deal with a strong breed stigma, however controlled studies have not identified this breed group as disproportionately dangerous.''
The South Florida group also noted that the ban "increases the already-exorbitant euthanasia rate in our county shelter, because the banned breeds are unable to be adopted by Miami-Dade residents.''

What's all the Hype about Organic Cotton Clothing?
You may not have known this, but more pesticides are used on cotton than any other crop in the world!! It's a proven fact that the pesticides used on cotton are harmful for the environment. They may very well be harmful to human health as well. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that at least 7 of the top 15 chemicals used on cotton crops are "likely" or "known" human carcinogens. Because I try to do what's right for the earth, and because I prefer to stay healthy myself, this knowledge doesn't thrill me.
I can't give up cotton, I simply can't do it! I wear cotton all the time…my kids wear cotton all the time. We're a laid back, casual sort of family and we MUST have our cotton.
Enter Organic Cotton Clothing! Thankfully, there are now a growing number of cotton farmers that grow organic cotton. These farmers grow their organic cotton crops under extremely strict guidelines, so besides just growing their crops without the use of harmful pesticides, they also deal with things like soil erosion and nutrient depletion.
The best news is that Organic Cotton items are really not much more expensive than cotton that is treated with pesticides.
All is well in my home again, now that we know we can wear our cotton while doing the right thing for the environment at the same time. If you're interested in making the change to organic cotton, just look for the 100% organic label on cotton clothing or sheets that you are considering purchasing.

Costa's hummingbird photo by Steve Byland.
The Costa's hummingbird is living proof that incredible beauty can come in small packages.
This species is the second smallest hummingbird in North America, no more than 3-1/2 inches long with a wingspan of only 4-1/2 inches. That makes it just a wee bit larger than the tiny calliope hummingbird.
The male Costa's is definitely jewel-like, with a shimmering iridescent purple crown and gorget (a fancy word for throat). The brilliant feathers trail down its neck like a "Fu Man-chu" mustache.
Imagine having such a beautiful bird named after you! That's the pride French nobleman and bird collector Louis Marie Pantaleon Costa must have felt when a colleague classifying birds in North America named this species in 1839.
Both the male and the female Costa's are iridescent green on the back and live primarily in the desert during breeding season. The males have extremely large territories compared to other hummingbirds, defending 2 to 4 acres because of limited nectar sources.
To beat the heat, these hummingbirds breed and nest early in the season, from February to June, so they can seek milder climates before extreme desert heat sets in. The males leave first since they don't help build the nest or raise young.
After breeding, these birds share some of the same territories as Anna's hummingbirds, which most always dominate the Costa's because of their larger size.

The Marilyn Westbrook Garment Fund (MWGF) has been a huge gift to many of our lymphedema patients. Since May, 2008 the fund has alleviated suffering and improved the quality of life for both young and old who are affected by lymphedema. It was Marilyn Westbrook's wish to ensure that no other person with lymphedema would have to suffer as she did prior to her death. Fueled by this simple yet beautiful request, many have answered Marilyn's wish and today we have changed many lymphedema patients' lives with the fund. Our hope is to be able to reach out to many more patients, with the ultimate goal of offering coverage for LE treatment. You can help! This year we plan to raise at least $25,000 to continue the work of the MWGF. Please join us in our efforts by supporting the fund. As part of our Sponsor-A-Patient Campaign, a $50 pledge will support one patient by:
For only $50 you can positively affect someone's life. But don't feel limited by one amount; you can make a contribution in any amount. Large or small, every dollar helps support more patients. Donors can also choose to have their name and/or logo listed. Check back frequently to track our progress on the thermometer. Click Here to make a donation to the MWGF and please specify in the comments section that your donation is for MWGF. On behalf of the many patients, therapists, affiliated clinics, my staff, and me, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Respectfully, Saskia R.J. Thiadens, RN |

Cosplay Costumes
Cat Cosplay
There isn't an anime or manga called "Cat". We know. BUT lots of people seem to like to cosplay as cats or cat type characters. Not only that but there are plenty of cat like characters in many different anime and manga out there. We thought it'd be helpful to list a few cat costumes. You can even consider making up your own costume! Then when people say "Who are you supposed to be"? You can say... what do you mean? This is how I always dress ^_^
Or you can piece together a cool existing character with the different bits you'll find here.
Happy Cosplaying Otaku.

Well, we got more snow coming this week, which sucks because at some point I'll be stuck on 169 wondering why global warming has forsaken me.
But things are going good. I'm in the Lord Of The Rings Online Beta, which is pretty cool so far, though I've not had near as much time to play it as I had hoped. Stupid winter. Got my TV, which I love. Got Crackdown, which is fun.
Oh, and everyone in the family except for me has a cold.
Which always makes me feel like I'm living on borrowed time. I haven't been sick much in the past 2 years, and mostly I think that's due to the glucosamine I take for my joints, which also has vitamin C in it. I really really really hope I don't get sick. I don't have time to get sick, dammit. But I feel it out there, stalking me. Tasking me. Sigh. Stay away, foul demon! But it feels like I can't drink the water, touch the dishes, or wander too close to anyone hacking more than a 70 year old smoker in a coal mine.

This is my choice of a place to a trip to anywhere. My choice of place would be Aruba. I would choose Aruba because it is almost a rule free country for travelers and vacationers. My friend I would take would be Noah. This is because he is a really good friend to hang out with. This is where I would go if I could go anywhere in the world and who I would take.

Here are a couple things I think a good friend's qualities should be. One thing would be to always be loyal. Another thing would be they can keep secrets when you tell them. A third thing would be to never have to use the expression "threw me under the bus" when dealing with your friend ship. These are the three things I would need a good friend's qualities to be.

Sunday's event was my first race back in over a year. My god, do they hurt!
It all began on Friday when Chuckie and I left Solvang en route toward Phoenix. We had rented an econo car at the local rental agency but all the affordable models were sold out. We were offered an SUV as a "free upgrade". Obviously this was not an upgrade to us with gas prices above three dollars a gallon! So we smooth-talked our way into a Toyota Prius for the price of an econo car. We were worried with all the Toyota recalls in recent weeks but as it was it worked in our favor because the gas pedal was stuck at 110 miles per hour the whole way! We got to Phoenix much sooner than expected. The problem was that the brake pedal didn't work and we flew right past the city at 110 miles per hour!
Joking aside, we pulled in at 10:30pm forgetting that we lost an hour en route due to the time zone change. Apparently Arizona doesn't believe in daylight savings. We worried that we were keeping our homestay up late by arriving so late but we were greeted with big smiles and big hugs that could only come from a loving Italian family, Saverio and Marisa. Everything they say about Italian hospitality is true times ten. (I visited Italy when I was 14 and loved it; I've always wanted to go back and here now I felt like I had). Oh, the food! But I'll get to that in due time. Chuckie and Saverio got on great because they never stopped talking!
On Saturday morning we headed to the racecourse to go and check it out. I was amazed at how brutal the run course(s) were/are. It was like an Xterra event, a true cross-country running race: sand, washes, mud, rocks, hills, creek crossing, cacti, twists, turns and the potential for perilous tumbles. I wasn't mentally prepared for this but after checking it all out I was ready to give it my best shot.
After the reconnaissance, Saverio was kind enough to setup a chiropractic appointment for me with his good friend Matt. With Matt's expertise I was able to get back on form after such an arduous drive; for whatever reason my hips and back hate long drives. Matt fixed me right up in a matter of minutes and I was excited to race the next day.
But first that evening, Saverio invited some friends from the triathlon club and Marisa cooked up a true Italian meal. I normally like to stick to my own routine prior to races (boring food!) but this was simply too good to be true. We had ten different types of olives, five different types of cheeses, red wine, bread, pasta with fresh basil and tomatoes – everything almost straight from the vine. I never knew pasta could taste this good. I've always eaten it when I was too lazy to cook something else, but this I'm telling you, was to die for! Plus it had the dual purpose of shutting up Chuckie and Salverio for once! Mind you, Saverio's friend Justin filled that role and dished out more humor and talk than Saverio and Chuck combined. His energy was contagious and a with a full belly of one of the best meals I've ever eaten, I was already a winner no matter the result the following day!
The forecast Saturday night called for rain the following morning but when I walked out at 9pm all I saw were stars. I went to bed ready for sunny skies. Lo and behold a few hours later I was awoken by a downpour and knew I would have to re-pack my race bags when I woke up for good. The race director, Brian, assured me on Saturday that we'd get rain. I tend to think positive and disregarded his outlook and focused on staying hydrated!
This was my first duathlon and Chuckie warned they hurt more than triathlons because you essentially start off with a running race and then try to jump on the bike after giving all you've had. This is something that made sense to me but I never fully understood until the gun went off. Holy moley! EVERYONE flew off! It was as though they were in a 400-meter dash. In essence, we were!
Single-track trail started half a mile after the start line and everyone wanted good position prior to it. They started the elite men and women together and the women didn't want to get stuck behind any slower men and took off faster than they probably would have alone. I almost laughed in disbelief because we went through the first mile just over 5-minutes. I was already redlining and it was about two minutes faster than any single mile I'd run yet this year! (This race signifies my first real effort in over a year and I was rudely reminded of the necessary pain in performing well. I had my doubts when I was just about in last place after the 2nd mile.)
But by the end of the 3.7-mile run I was happy to be where I was most comfortable – back in the saddle again. The rain didn't let up but we've had so much in Solvang this year that I honestly hardly noticed it. But what was shocking was the bitter cold: 48-degrees at race start. The bike course started out with some rollers but then essentially went downhill all the way to the turn-a-around. I was glad I dressed head-to-toe. Chuckie advised both Brendan Halpin (fellow athlete coached by V) and myself to dress warmly. Brendan, being a Montana boy and all, decided a singlet was enough! He'll hear about it from Chuckie soon enough, I imagine.
After the turn-around I had already picked off all but three girls: Sam McGlone (2nd place Hawaii IM finisher), Michellie Jones (multiple world champion and Hawaii Ironman Champion) and Leanda Cave (world class triathlete/Ironman Champ). I had already passed a couple other big names including Linsey Corbin, who had only recently come down to the desert to train. (Linsey is another one of those tough Montana triathletes).
With the hills during the second half of the ride I was able to make headway and catch Michellie with a few miles remaining. She stuck to me like glue but I decided not to worry about it and just race my own race. When I got back into transition I was in 3rd place with Michellie at my heels – about 35 seconds from the lead after erasing a 1-minute deficit. My shoes were now waterlogged and the rain still hadn't let up.
I had my usual terrible transition but was able to draw nearer to Michellie and keep her in sight for all the 2.7 mile run. It was single track and there was nowhere to make a pass but I couldn't catch her anyhow. Just before mile 2 we headed up a hill so steep I almost scraped my nose running up it! I made some gains but quickly lost them on the rocky descent. Michellie's long legs covered some serious ground! The last mile or so was on bitumen and loose gravel. I was frothing at the mouth and gave it everything I had. I wanted 3rd place but finished 7 seconds back of a podium spot – until I later learned that Leanda had been penalized one minute for a violation of the helmet strap in transition. So, in the end I placed 3rd overall but in my heart I know I was a 4th place finisher (or "podium perimeter" as Chuckie would say in jest). I was pleased, but knew I still have work to do.
All told, the race gave me the opportunity to get back into racing mode and clear the pipes some; it felt great!
Of course as fate would have it the sun made a strong appearance immediately after the last finisher crossed the line. Weather aside, this is a race I would HIGHLY recommend. In fact, I'm already signed up for next year and know exactly where I'll be staying beforehand! Thanks Marisa and Saverio.

What's Your Beef? Grass-Fed and Other Beef Terminology
Have you had a chance to read the April issue of Smithsonian yet? I recommend "Breeding the Perfect Bull," a wonderfully written feature by Jeanne Marie Laskas about a family of cattle ranchers in Texas. Judging from readers' response, she really captured the flavor of the modern cowboy's lifestyle, as well as explaining the scientific and practical details of breeding cattle.
There was one sentence in it that puzzled me, though: "All cows eat grass."
I paused when I read this. It unsettled me somehow, and not just because it was the mnemonic device we learned in high school band to interpret the bass clef.
I've heard a lot about grass-fed beef lately, and how it's healthier and tastier than cattle fattened in a feedlot on corn and who knows what else. But if Laskas is right—and she is; though it may be only as calves, all cows eat some grass—does the term "grass-fed" really mean anything?
I called Carrie Oliver, founder of the Artisan Beef Institute, to see if she could shed some light on this and other terms consumers might run across when buying beef. Turns out, I know next to nothing about beef—which, given my recent tale of stumbling into vegetarianism, probably doesn't surprise you! (For the record, I'm not vegetarian anymore. But I generally don't eat meat unless I know where, and how, it was raised.)
She dispelled my first misconception even before we spoke, with the tagline on her Web site: Psst! It's not about the marbling! So, I asked, what is it about? What should consumers be looking for on labels?
Oliver uses the term "artisan" to describe meat from suppliers who are focused on raising flavorful food, rather than trying to produce "as much, as cheaply and as uniformly as possible," she says. It's more of a mindset than a strict definition.
"From a big picture perspective, the meat industry is really focused on speed, yield and uniformity," Oliver explains. Her institute focuses on different criteria: The beef must contain no artificial growth stimulants or antibiotics, be "gently handled," and be a breed or cross-breed that makes sense for the region where it was raised (for example, Black Angus should be crossed with something more heat-tolerant to thrive on southern ranches, she says).
Oliver compares fine beef to to fine wine, because "unique flavors and characteristics emerge from influences of the breed, growing region, diet, husbandry and aging techniques."
That's right, aging techniques—another thing I didn't know about beef (I assumed the fresher, the better). Oliver explained that aging produces a more intense flavor and tender texture, depending on the process used. (This article by Brooklyn-based butcher Tom Mylan explains the difference between dry vs. wet aging.) But much of what you see in the supermarket isn't aged at all, and she thinks that's a shame.
Oliver agreed that the term "grass-fed" can be confusing, although the USDA has defined it, and recently issued rules for organic beef to ensure it comes from cows who are at least 30-percent grass-fed. Perhaps the more important question is not whether the cow eats grass but what else it has eaten, says Oliver, particularly because grain feed often includes preventive antibiotics, growth hormones or other additives. She asks a series of questions before buying beef: Is it grass-fed? Has it ever eaten grain? No? So, is it grass-0nly?
The smartest thing consumers can do to ensure they're getting the best beef is to find a good butcher, Oliver says. Unfortunately, that's easier said than done—traditional butchers are an increasingly rare breed in many parts of the industrialized world.
"But if we all start asking these questions even at the supermarket, it will start to have an effect," she adds. "The more we ask, the more they'll have to know. Start by asking what farm the meat comes from. If you get a blank stare, walk away."

I work with La Cense Beef, they are a "Grass Fed Beef
" ranch located in Montana. True Grass Fed Beef is much better for your healthe, the health and well being of the cattle and the environment. La Cense Beef sells directly to the consumer and ships door to door. They have a wonderful and tasty selection of beef to choose from. -
Very nice article. As a producer of grass fed and finished beef (my grandfather switched to an all grass system back in the early '80′s), I truly appreciate the press that grass fed meats are getting. We are located in the highlands of WV where cool season grasses and clovers make up much of the pasture. The climate is not too hot or too cold for our Black Angus cattle. My herd is descended from my grandfather's, several generations of cattle that perform well on grass, full flavor, well marbled, and tender.
One thing I can not figure out is why grass fed producers feel the need to charge two or three times more than beef that is grain fed. If the overall goal is to convert our national herd to grass, for health and environmental reasons; why try to keep it an elite niche market that only the well to do can afford.
I have sold to many customers that say they have wanted to try grass fed beef, but it was too expensive. For example: Ground Chuck sells for $2.50 lb. Rib Eye Steaks are $10.00 lb. Filet Mignon is $16.00 lb.
As long as producers are selling grass fed hamburger for $5.99 lb, they are proving the cattle industry right. They are showing that grass finishing is an inefficient system, and that can not compete on a large scale.
Sarver Heritage Farm is proving all of them wrong.

When it comes to focal lengths, it seems that many photographers get very confused by "equivalent focal length" and "field of view" jargon that is often used to describe lens attributes on different camera sensors. To help fully understand these terms, I decided to write a quick article, explaining what they truly mean in very simple terms.
1) True Focal Length
What is the true focal length of a lens? This one is extremely important to understand. Focal length is an optical attribute of a lens, which has nothing to do with the camera or the type of sensor it uses. The true focal length of a lens is typically what manufacturer says it is on the lens. For example, the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G lens (below) has a true focal length of 50mm, irrespective of what camera you use it on.
2) Field of View
The "field of view", which is sometimes called "angle of view" is simply what your lens together with the camera can see and capture from left to right, to top to bottom. If you are shooting with a DSLR camera, the field of view is typically what you see inside the viewfinder. Some DSLR cameras, have less than 100% viewfinder coverage, which means that what you see inside the viewfinder is actually less in size than what the final image will be. For example, if you shoot with the Nikon D90 DSLR that has 96% viewfinder coverage, what you see inside the viewfinder is going to be about 4% less than what the camera actually captures. Hence, the actual field of view is always what the camera captures, not necessarily what you see inside the viewfinder.
Here is an example of differences in field of view between 70 and 400mm:
The top-left 70mm image looks almost "wide", while the 400mm image shows a much greater magnification with a much narrower field of view.
Lens manufacturers often publish the term "angle of view" or "maximum angle of view" in lens specifications, because they define the field of view in degrees. For example, the Nikon 24mm f/1.4G lens has a maximum angle of view of 84°, while Nikon 300mm f/2.8G telephoto lens has a maximum angle of view of only 8°10′ when used on film or full-frame cameras. Take a look at the following illustration:
As you can see, 84 degrees is very wide when compared to 8 degrees. That's why you can fit a lot of the scene when shooting with a 24mm lens, while a 300mm lens allows you to capture a narrower, but much more magnified portion of the scene.
3) Equivalent Focal Length
Let's now move on to the term "equivalent focal length", which like I stated in the beginning, is a term that many photographers misunderstand. The word "equivalent" is typically in relation to 35mm film. You see, back in the 35mm film days, the focal length of the lens was always whatever the lens said on the label. With the invention of digital SLRs, the camera sensor (the device that captures images) is often much smaller than the 35mm film, primarily because of high cost. This reduction in size of the sensor results in cutting of the image corners, the process that photographers call "cropping". The interesting thing, is that the image is actually not cut by the sensor or the camera – parts of the image are simply ignored. Take a look at the following illustration (red arrows represent light entering the camera):
As you can see from the above illustrations, the 35mm film/sensor cameras capture a large area of the lens, while the smaller sensors (also known as "cropped sensors") capture mostly the center. Note how the light enters the camera chamber in exactly the same way in both illustrations, but the smaller sensor is only able to capture a certain portion of it, while the rest of the light falls outside of the sensor. The term "cropped sensor" can be confusing, since "cropping" an image is often associated with cutting it. Once again, in this case, there is no cutting – the light rays from the edges of the lens just overshoot and do not make it to the sensor.
Manufacturers knew about this "overshooting" process when they designed smaller sensors, so they started producing lenses specifically designed for cropped sensor cameras to make them cheaper. Nikon calls them "DX", while Canon calls them "EF-S". Basically, the lens itself passes through a smaller image circle and by the time it gets to the sensor, not much of the circle is actually wasted. Think of it as the right part of the above illustration, except the circle is much smaller. Obviously, lenses like these do not function as they should on full-frame/35mm cameras – only half of the scene will actually make it to the sensor. Nikon full-frame cameras are programmed to recognize DX lenses and will automatically decrease the image resolution, while the Canon EF-S lenses will not function on full-frame cameras at all.
How do two cameras with different sensor sizes have the same image resolution? For example, both full-frame Nikon D700 and cropped sensor Nikon D300s have 12.1 Megapixels while having different size sensors. This is because the Nikon D300s camera has much smaller pixels (and hence, higher pixel density) compared to Nikon D700 – that's how 12.1 million pixels are able to fit on a smaller sensor. What this essentially means, is that the smaller sensors with smaller pixels enlarge the center area of the lens more in this case. If a lens is not of very high quality and is not able to resolve fine details, the images might appear less sharp on cropped sensors.
Let's now get back to the term "equivalent focal length". I'm sure you have seen manufacturers claim something like "The 28-300mm lens has an angle of view equivalent to a focal length of 42-450mm in 35mm format", which is a correct way of saying it. Others may say something like "the lens focal length is equivalent to 42-450mm on DX sensor", which is an incorrect way of saying it. As I have shown above, in relation to the camera sensor, the focal length of the lens never changes – only the field of view/angle of view does. Saying something like "my 28-300mm lens on my Nikon D90 is like a 42-450mm lens" is incorrect for this reason.
Where do these larger numbers such as 42-450mm come from? Let's now look into the crop factor and how these "equivalent" numbers are actually computed.
4) The Crop Factor
By now you understand what "equivalent focal length" truly stands for and how the smaller sensors ignore the larger circle area. Let's now talk about the crop factor – the term that manufacturers and photographers often use to describe camera sensors and to calculate the "equivalent focal length". You might have heard people say something like "Nikon D90 camera has a 1.5x crop factor" or "Canon 60D has a 1.6x crop factor". The term "crop factor" came up after smaller sensors were invented to make it easier for people to understand how much narrower the angle of view gets when a lens is used on a camera with a small sensor. Manufacturers had to somehow explain how an image on a smaller sensor camera looks enlarged or "zoomed in" compared to 35mm film.
If you take the sensor area of a full-frame sensor or 35mm film and compare it to a cropped sensor, you will be surprised to see that the former is at least twice larger than the latter. For example, the Nikon full-frame cameras approximately have a sensor size of 36mm x 24mm which gives us a surface area of 864. Cropped-sensor cameras like the Nikon D90, on the other hand, have an approximate sensor size of 24mm x 16mm, which is around 384 in surface area – a whopping 2.3 times smaller compared to Nikon D3s! But when it comes to focal lengths, you do not use the surface area of the lens. The crop ratio is computed by taking the diagonal of the full-frame sensor, divided by the diagonal of the cropped sensor.
Now you will have to remember some math. Remember how to compute the diagonal? Here is the formula in case you forgot it: √(X² + Y²). The full frame camera has a diagonal of 43.26 (square root of 1296+576), while the cropped sensor cameras have an approximate diagonal of 28.84 (square root of 576 + 256). If you take 43.26 and divide it by 28.84, you get 1.5 – the ratio of the full-frame sensor diagonal to the cropped sensor diagonal (these numbers are rounded – the actual ratio is a little bit higher, around 1.52).
What do you do with this ratio? You multiply it to get the "equivalent focal length". For example, the Nikon 24mm f/1.4G lens has an angle of view equivalent to approximately 36mm when mounted on a cropped sensor camera like Nikon D90. What this means, is that if you took a 24mm lens and mounted it on a cropped sensor camera, then took a 36mm lens and mounted it on a full-frame camera, you would get about the same view. If you put it the other way, to have the same angle of view as the 24mm mounted on a full-frame camera, you would need a 16mm lens on a cropped sensor camera. For example, if you were standing from one spot and could fit a house in your frame using a 24mm lens on a full-frame/35mm camera, to be able to fit that same house on a cropped sensor camera, you would need to have a much wider lens with a focal length of 16mm.
Hope this clears up the true definition of the above terms for those who do not understand them well. If you have any questions or comments, please post them in the comments section below.

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies

Followed recipe and it turned out perfect. No changes needed as far as Im concerned. Thanks for the recipe.
Delicious! A little time consuming but I'm sure they take less time than authentic empanadas. We had this for dinner with rice & beans.

I gave 4 stars because the filling was an excellent taste, however did not like in the biscut covering. Made way too heavy! I will use the filling net time on crackers or baguette, would even be good in cherry tomato?
These were really good. I messed up on the sauce. I misread the directions and added 2 CANS of chipotle peppers instead of 2 chipotle peppers. Wow that was spicy!! My fault :-)
These were great followed as written for the first time but i didn't use the hot sausage I used mild maybe next time I will use hot or add some jalapenos..Thanks for sharing.
a family full of picky eaters! this was gone in no times and the chipolte cream sauce to die for...
To make a kid friendly version for my toddler i used regular sausage and cheddar cheese. I served them with jelly and were a big success!
These were ok...the whole family loved them. I'm giving it 4 stars b/c they are not my favorite empanadas. Sorry!
