Bradbrook's late free-kick masterclass puts Tanners through
2:32pm Monday 30th September 2013 in Sport By Rod Ellis
Tom Bradbrook's sensational goal in the fifth minute of injury time took Leatherhead though to next round of the FA Cup after this breathtaking 2-1 win over Binfield.
With the scores level at one-all and a Fetcham Grove replay beckoning, Bradbrook sent a 25 yard free kick round a wall of defenders and into the corner of the net. It was a cruel blow for the Hellenic League side that had shown so much effort and matched their Ryman League visitors throughout a marvellous cup tie.
The splendid free kick earned Leatherhead a third qualifying round tie at Southern League Premier Division side Biggleswade Town.
Tanners had to start the match without three of their key squad players. Jerry Nnamani, Paul Semakula and Elie Kayembe were held up in traffic after a serious accident had earlier closed off a section of the M25. The gallant trio persevered, arriving at Binfield in time for the final 10 minutes.
Leatherhead manager Richard Brady had already used two of his three substitutes, but Nnamani's arrival on the pitch settled the visitors and ultimately steered them on to a hard fought victory.
The Tanners defence looked uncomfortable when the match kicked off and their unbeaten hosts sensed the possibility of a big cup upset.
The Berkshire club's hopes were further raised when they took the lead after only nine minutes. The ball was played down the middle to an unmarked Danny Wing who dinked it over Leatherhead keeper Deren Ibrahim and into the goal from 30 yards.
Binfield had a chance to double their lead four minutes later but Carl Davies' fierce drive from the edge of the box was met by a fine save from Ibrahim.
The hosts were very comfortable going forward, playing the ball along the ground and passing to feet. Davies outpaced his marker after 27 minutes before attempting to lob Ibrahim from the edge of the box. But this time the ball sailed high over the bar.
The tentative Tanners defence were caught off guard again on 39 minutes with Ibrahim making another good stop as he turned a Binfield shot behind for a corner.
Leatherhead showed little composure in the first half. They won a corner just before the break and Bradbrook tested goalkeeper Callum Whitty with a stinging shot.
Tanners began to settle in the second half, equalising after 57 minutes with a goal out of nothing. Bradbrook broke clear on the right and his cross into the box was met by a firm left footed drive from Draycott which flew into the net.
Binfield weren't beaten yet and Ibrahim had to make another fine save from a James Suarez shot after 68 minutes.
Leatherhead's Jamie Coyle took an elbow in the face after 75 minutes which caused a deep cut above the centre back's right eye. The referee saw it as an accidental challenge and cautioned the Binfield player amid loud calls for a red card from a small section of Leatherhead supporters. Coyle had to go off and was replaced by Adam Burchell.
The missing Leatherhead trio arrived at pitch side after 80 minutes and Nnamani was immediately thrown into the action, replacing Jake Downs in defence.
Binfield missed a great chance to win the tie after 89 minutes, as the Leatherhead defence failed to clear the ball away from their six-yard box. It fell to the feet of Davies, but his scrambled effort produced the best save of the afternoon from Ibrahim, who somehow managed to get down and prevent the ball from crossing the line.
With the tie deep in stoppage time and heading towards a replay, Bradbrook was bundled off the ball 25 yards from goal by Joel Havermans. The Binfield player was cautioned as Bradbrook lined up the ball for his 'Get Out Of Jail' free kick.
As the ball hit the back of the net, Bradbrook threw himself into the arms of the exuberant group of Leatherhead supporters behind the goal, earning himself a yellow card for his over enthusiastic celebrations.
But it hardly mattered as the referee blew the final whistle within seconds of the restart. Leatherhead had been outplayed for long periods by a very well organised side from a lower division, but had shown enough character to win through on the day.
Leatherhead: Deren Ibrahim, Jake Downs (Jerry Nnamani 80), Liam Pestle (Dan Parkinson 59), Matt Smart, Jamie Coyle (Adam Burchell 78), Tom Parkinson, Darren Smith, Ian Draycott, Tom Bradbrook, Allan Tait, Kev Terry. Unused subs: Paul Semakula, Elie Kayembe and Mark Worsfold.

Broiled Parmesan Tilapia
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 1/4 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon celery salt (we didn't have any on hand so I just added a pinch of salt)
1/2 pound tilapia fillets (2 fillets)
Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion power and celery salt. Mix well and set aside.
Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with the parmesan cheese mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork.

go at sunset right as the light is beginning to change. it's a beautiful and spiritual experience that everyone should have.
this beautiful church is a must see when in Mykonos. its unique structure make it one of the most photographed churches in Europe. its located near the bay and the center of town and right near the windmills, so its very easy to find.
One of the charming wonders to see when visiting Mykonos. This little church is one of the most photographed in Europe due to its unique shape. Some days it is open to the public where you can go in and light a candle. The day that my group was there it was not.
Located at a rather quiet part of the Mykonos town, Paraportiani is a unique church that definately worths paying a visit. It's shape is one of a kind and it's location is very nice. Don't miss it.
There's something magical about this place. I cant quite put my finger on what it is - it maybe the simplicity, or the unassuming white structure, maybe its the ethereal glow on this place, when the sun sets. Whatever it is, I found myself transported to a higher plane! A magical dreamlike plane! Very unexpectedly, my favourite spot in Mykonos... More
At the end of the waterside promenade, past Jackie-O, Paraportiani is a church by daytime. By night, its grounds and paths to the water are the cruising area of Mykonos. Go anytime after sunset
Maybe the most photopraphed church in the world, unique for its architecture, bult from 15th-17th century. It has taken its name by the position of the structure, right near the small castle-gate of the old medieval castle walls of Mykonos town. Unfortunately all seperated entrances of churches are always closed but we always love it!
it is far but it is worth a trip. The journey is scenic and the church is interesting old monestry. If you like photography, get your nikon ready.
never got a chance to see the inside. Accidentally found the church wandering around mykonos. Took pictures with the church in the background.
The design, the shape and structure, it's outstanding and unique. A class on its own, truly. When we were there, the church looks like it was just repainted, in dazzling white-wash, of course. Beautiful against the torquoise-blue sky!

Me and my big mouth. The guy was selling a GTX 660 for $100 because he did not want to deal with troubleshooting/RMA'ing a card that was hick-upping on him every hour or so while gaming. I didn't want to buy a card that was defective, so I pressured him on how/when/where he purchased it (so that I could RMA if necessary) and he took the info that I was asking him and is going to use it to try to fix his problem. Oh well, I really don't have a place for it any way, except to start to replace my GTX 460's. On another note, there are three video cards on my local CL that may interest Folders. An Asus GTX 460 TOP 768MB, an Asus GTX 560, and a MSI GTX 560 TI Twin Frozer II OC (son's best friend is supposed to be getting $600 to build a system and this card would do wonders for him). If anyone is interested in these or anything else, PM me and let me know. Even if its "I'll pay $x for "fill in the blank" and I'll keep my eyes open.
Yesterday's production was down a bit, but we should do well today(I got 4 -bigadv to dump today). Keep up the great work Gentlemen!
Well I am back and folding again, at least for a little while, as I will be moving to another state in short order and haven't any idea of the power situation in the house I will be living in. Also seems I passed the 8 million point mark this morning.
Sorry i have not responded yet to the PM. I have been researching the question, but found little data. Are the CPU's W3570's?
You would need to overclock them to make the deadline, but sounds like your mobo will not be capable of O/C. Need a SR-2...
OK. That deal fell through anyways--the person who was supposed to come buy all three of my HPs never showed up. Maybe I'll be able to manage something before too long. I have a GTX550TI coming on (probably) Tuesday to add to my fleet. Provided the seller isn't scamming me, I purchased a 600w Corsair PSU and a 550TI for $50
Gotta vent. Lost a 356K Point -bigadv WU @ 98% today. This is the 6180 rig and it is super stable, but I'm going through the paces to figure out what caused it. I mean c'mon, 98%?? Gimme a break!
Chimp Challege Captains notice Seeing that we are onto another year and and another Chimp challenge some of the captains figure we give early notice so pick your CC captain and PM me(EVGA) or Adak (OCN) or businesswithgreg(OCN) or for short BWG and get signed onto the CC captain forum and keep updated on discussions http://chimp.sagacioustechnologies.com/index.php?board=3.0 Just so you know OCN has proposed dropping use of the chimp names (so we all run under our own names) and OCF has proposed the last week or two of April it's either a straight up Point race or a split between growth and points only ie simplifying the formula
I'd be a big fan of doing the end of April--that way those of us that are at school can take advantage of the free electricity for it. And being able to run under our own names would also be advantageous IMO.
Being from Florida(read= hot, hot, & hot), I'm game for an earlier start to this years Chimp Challenge. Do you guy's want to run under a combined name(ChimPowerUp) or under our usual team name without requiring any name changeover(s)? Would you rather run in a straight up points race; or growth and points?
I'm quite sure that it is hot there It seems like an increase in points might be most beneficial to us; that way we'll have a good boost when the WCG folks come over, but our output will likely still remain limited in an absolute sense.
The 9600GSO is back folding now and I also just added a GTX550TI. Depending on when I have time, I also have two more 96SP G92 cards to get running EDIT: Just added an 8800GT as well. Still have the two 9600GSOs, which may yet go in the 3770k system--I'm going to move GPUs around a bit this weekend.
i want to keep the name the same honestly. Combined name seems more appropriate but im old fashioned. As for points vs growth I would also like to just keep it points. growth on a team level by members encourages cheating and private deals. for example join my team for chimp challenge and fold and I will give you a GTX680 also growth by ladder or rank like they moved the most they went from 600,000 to 30,000 this can be done by one person depending on how low on the ladder a team is. I think raw points and a single team name are the easiest and less flawed way of judging the competition. my 2c
Looks like Stanford is not updating. I finished a unit at 3 PM and it still isn't showing. Anyone else see this?
Not that I know of. Looks like you need to post over on the F@H forum and they can check for you. You could also check the status of that server.

AEI Panel on Education Policy (right-click to copy direct link)
Washington, DC Monday, November 26, 2012
Stacey Childress of the Gates Foundation Monday said that we should not expect government and philanthropy to get it right and that clear metrics to measure performance and outcomes, including graduation rates, are needed to distinguish between schools and private enterprise. For-profit practitioners joined AEI's Frederick Hess in a discussion on the role of private enterprise in public education. In addition, panelists considered Obama Administration's approach as they look to 2013.
Additional speakers included Innosight Institute Co-founder Michael Horn; LearnZillion Co-Founder Eric Westendorf; Raquel Gilmer at Learn It Systems; and assistant deputy education secretary for innovation and improvement Jim Shelton.

Commencement Address
December 2010
University of Maryland
School of Architecture Planning and Preservation
Carl Elefante FAIA
TV journalist Tom Brokaw popularized the term "The Greatest Generation" in his 1998 book to characterize those Americans who grew up during the Great Depression of the 1930's, defeated Fascism, Nazism and Imperial Japan in World War II, and afterwards shaped the modern world. They created a world of unprecedented economic vitality and personal freedom. It is populated with cities punctuated by towers of steel and glass, bustling with trains, planes and automobiles. They created the core conditions of the world you and I grew up in. Your generation of architects, planners and preservationists will devote much of your careers to redefining and adapting the world shaped by The Greatest Generation.
Viewed in 2010, the promise of the modern era is conditioned by concerns of environmental decline, diminishing resources, and the unintended consequence of climate change. While it is easy to become numb to the seemingly daily reports of impending doom, it is professionally irresponsible for architects, planners and preservationists to ignore this call to action. Your career will be shaped by these challenges of the Greatest Generation's world.
The building industry economic sector is at the very center of efforts to curb the negative consequences of modern-era development. The construction and operation of buildings contributes more to climate change than any other economic sector, responsible for nearly forty percent (40%) of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a fact that has not escaped the notice of policy-makers at every level of government. Climate scientists have identified a rapidly approaching "tipping point" at which climate change will proceed under its own momentum. James Hansen, the chief climate scientist for NASA and NOAA, predicts this tipping point will be reached no later than 2060 if current patterns continue.
Reducing emissions from buildings is considered by many to be the most reliable path to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In the U.S., creating net-zero energy buildings is the preferred approach to achieving these reductions, placing what we do as architects, planners and preservationists at the center of the solution to global-scale problems.
Instead of dwelling further on the challenges facing our professions, I prefer to turn to the reasons why I believe we are capable of meeting them and how you will compete with the World War II generation for recognition as the Greatest Generation. There are three trends that are transforming how architects, planners and preservationists work today and will make your careers dramatically different from mine: first, increasingly rapid developments in design technology; second, the trend toward interdisciplinary integration; and third, the redirection of global economy to a "restorative" development mode. read more

Assemblies are the building blocks of .NET Framework applications; they form the fundamental unit of deployment, version control, reuse, activation scoping, and security permissions. An assembly is a collection of types and resources built to work together and form a logical unit of functionality.
To work with a .NET application, you need to make its assemblies visible to MATLAB®. How you do this depends on how the assembly is deployed, either privately or globally.
A global assembly is shared among applications and installed in a common directory, called the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
A private assembly is used by a single application.
To load a global assembly into MATLAB, use the short name of the assembly, which is the file name without the extension. To load a private assembly, you need the full path (folder and file name with extension) of the assembly. This information is in the your product's vendor documentation for the assembly. Refer to the vendor documentation for everything you need to know to use your product.
The following assemblies from the .NET Framework class library are available at startup. MATLAB dynamically loads them the first time you type "NET." or "System.".
To use any other .NET assembly, load the assembly using the NET.addAssembly command. After loading the assembly, you can work with the classes defined by the assembly.
For an example showing you how to find the information you need to work with assemblies, see:
For detailed information, see:
A namespace is a way to group identifiers. A namespace can contain other namespaces. In MATLAB, a namespace is a package. In MATLAB, a .NET type is a class.
The syntax namespace.ClassName is known as a fully qualified name.
System is the root namespace for fundamental types in the .NET Framework. This namespace also contains classes (for example, System.String and System.Array) and second-level namespaces (for example, System.Collections.Generic). The mscorlib and system assemblies, which MATLAB loads at startup, contain many, but not all System namespaces. For example, to use classes in the System.Xml namespace, load the system.xml assembly using the NET.addAssembly command. Refer to the Microsoft® .NET Framework Class Library Reference to learn what assembly to use for a specific namespace.
Objects created from .NET classes (for example, the System.Reflection.Assembly class) appear in MATLAB as reference types, or handle objects. Objects created from .NET structures (for example, the System.DateTime structure) appear as value types. You use the same MATLAB syntax to create and access members of classes and structures.
However, handle objects are different from value objects. When you copy a handle object, only the handle is copied and both the old and new handles refer to the same data. When you copy a value object, the object's data is also copied and the new object is independent of changes to the original object. For more information about these differences, see Copying Objects.
Do not confuse an object created from a .NET structure with a MATLAB structure array (see Structures). You cannot pass a structure array to a .NET method.
In a MATLAB command, you can refer to any class by its fully qualified name, which includes its package name. A fully qualified name might be long, making commands and functions, such as constructors, cumbersome to edit and to read. You can refer to classes by the class name alone (without a package name) if you first import the fully qualified name into MATLAB. The import function adds all classes that you import to a list called the import list. You can see what classes are on that list by typing import, without any arguments.
For example, to eliminate the need to type System. before every command in the Access a Simple .NET Class example, type:
import System.* import System.DateTime.*
To create the object, type:
dateObj = DateTime.Today;
To use a static method, type:
DaysInMonth(dateObj.Year, dateObj.Month)
If you use the import command in a MATLAB function, you must add the corresponding .NET assembly before calling the function. For example, the following function getPrinterInfo calls methods in the System.Drawing namespace.
function ptr = getPrinterInfo import System.Drawing.Printing.*; ptr = PrinterSettings; end
To call the function, type:
NET.addAssembly('System.Drawing'); printer = getPrinterInfo;
You cannot add the command NET.addAssembly('System.Drawing') to the getPrinterInfo function. MATLAB processes the getPrinterInfo.m code before executing the NET.addAssembly command. In that case, PrinterSettings is not fully-qualified and MATLAB does not recognize the name.
Likewise, the scope of the import command is limited to the getPrinterInfo function. At the command line, type:
ptr = PrinterSettings;
Undefined function or variable 'PrinterSettings'.
If MATLAB does not automatically load your assembly, use the NET.addAssembly function. The syntax is:
asmInfo = NET.addAssembly('assemblyName');
You need to know if the assembly is global or private, as explained in What is an Assembly? Your vendor documentation has this information.
You cannot unload an assembly from MATLAB.
MATLAB catches exceptions thrown by .NET and converts them into a NET.NetException object, which is derived from the MException class. The default display of NetException contains the Message, Source and HelpLink fields of the System.Exception class that caused the exception. For example:
try NET.addAssembly('C:\Work\invalidfile.dll') catch e e.message if(isa(e,'NET.NetException')) e.ExceptionObject end end
In MATLAB, you cannot directly instantiate a nested class but here is how to do it through reflection. The following C# code defines InnerClass nested in OuterClass:
namespace MyClassLibrary { public class OuterClass { public class InnerClass { public String strmethod(String x) { return "from InnerClass " + x; } } } }
If the MyClassLibrary assembly is in your c:\work folder, load the file:
a = NET.addAssembly('C:\Work\MyClassLibrary.dll');
ans = 'MyClassLibrary.OuterClass' 'MyClassLibrary.OuterClass+InnerClass'
To call strmethod, type:
t = a.AssemblyHandle.GetType('MyClassLibrary.OuterClass+InnerClass'); obj = System.Activator.CreateInstance(t); strmethod(obj,'hello')
ans = from InnerClass hello

Whether you're in a skate park in the Northeast, cruising the boardwalks of California, or playing a game of roller hockey in the Midwest, inline skating is good exercise and an excellent off-season training program for hockey and skiing.
Inline skating has exploded in popularity. Skaters can be found most everywhere that bicyclists, skateboarders, and joggers go. This greatly increases the chances of painful collisions.
Most of the many thousands of inline skating injuries that happen each year are to skaters who aren't wearing safety gear. The most commonly injured body parts are the hands and arms, although abrasions to other areas of the body are common. Most seriously, head injuries can plague skaters who don't wear helmets.
Always wear safety gear — and make sure you have it on properly — anytime you go inline skating. Here's a rundown of what you'll need when you skate:
Choosing the right place to skate can go a long way toward preventing injuries, particularly for beginner or first-time skaters. When you're learning to skate, try to pick an area that is free of obstacles and other people, such as empty parking lots, unused tennis courts, or an expanse of smooth pavement with grass beside it, like a bike or other recreational trail. (Grass alongside the pavement will give you a soft place to fall as you learn to skate.)
Once your skills have advanced a little, you might want to consider heading to an indoor or outdoor skating rink before moving on to a skate park or trail. Rinks are generally kept clean and free of debris and obstacles. Although they may be crowded, the flow of traffic is controlled and monitored so you can get used to skating near other people.
Skate parks generally offer simpler features for novice skaters, as well as more advanced features for experts. Be honest about your abilities, and never try to take on a ramp or bowl until you're a good enough skater to tackle them safely.
Avoid sidewalks and roads as much as possible. They're the sites of roughly half of all inline skating injuries. Try to use recreational trails. If you must use sidewalks or roads, never skate in traffic; be courteous to pedestrians, bicyclists, and anyone else you might encounter; and always use crosswalks to get across streets.
Wherever you skate, be sure there are no potholes, cracks, or other obstacles. Make certain the area is dry and free of wet leaves, oily patches, or ice. Never skate at night, and try to avoid skating at dusk, when hazards are more difficult to see and you're less visible to others. Never skate when it's raining or snowing, as this will make surfaces slippery and increase your chances of getting hurt.
Better skaters have more fun and are less likely to get injured. Consider taking a lesson from a trained instructor or experienced skater before you try skating on your own. Know how to turn, control speed, stop, and skate with your head up so you can recognize and avoid obstacles and other people. Practice falling on grass or a gym mat so that when a real fall happens you'll be prepared to fall the right way.
Each time you head out, warm up with a gentle 5-minute skate and then stretch to keep your muscles and joints loose. This will help you avoid muscle tears and pulls.
Double-check to make sure you have all the necessary safety gear and that it is all being worn properly. Check to make sure your helmet's chin strap is fastened and snug.
If you're planning to skate on a trail, know how far you intend to go and how long it will take you to get back. Tell a family member or friend where you're going and how long you will be gone.
Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Know where other skaters, pedestrians, bicyclists, and joggers are, and be sure to give them plenty of space to avoid collisions. If you're skating in a skate park, practice good etiquette by waiting until the area is clear and it's your turn to skate.
Stay to the right when skating on sidewalks, bike paths, and trails. If you're going to pass another person, do so on the left, and let them know you are coming by yelling out, "On your left!" Only pass when it's safe and there is room enough for you and the other person.
Watch out for changing conditions due to weather or other factors. Just because the pavement is smooth in one spot doesn't mean it will be smooth a hundred yards ahead. If you feel like you're approaching an area with a wet, oily, or cracked riding surface, slow down until you are sure it's safe to proceed.
Don't skate while wearing headphones unless you are in a controlled environment. Listening to music while skating will make it difficult to hear traffic, pedestrians, or other skaters.
Try to find a friend or friends to skate with. This will not only be more fun, but you'll also be able to look out for one another and get help in the event of an emergency. If you and your skating partners skate on a trail or sidewalk, make sure to form a single-file line.

Pulling a set of Fizik shoes from the box is a dramatic affair. Not because of any legendary escapades executed on European mountain passes or long history of success that raise the pulse. These are a new product. While Fizik has a history of saddle innovation and success, they are new to footwear. No, opening a box of Fizik shoes is dramatic because of the box itself. As the box slides out of a full-length sleeve it opens like a flower blooming, a shoe carried within each expanding petal. It's an apt metaphor for a product line expected to grow into a major player in the cycling shoe market. But it begs another question. How much of this launch is style over substance, marketing over engineering?
The shoes within our box were the R3, Fizik's entry–level shoe. Well, entry level may be the wrong term, the R3 retails for $299.00 with the top end R1 at $399.00. Both shoes in Fizik's line are premium. If first impressions are the most lasting, Fizik is going for a classy, understated, timeless look. In a world were more logos are better and every little piece of technology needs to be called out with its own graphic, Fizik has taken a completely different approach. On our white and black R3's there is one black-on-black "Fizik" at the toe and few understated ":k's". These shoes are not screaming about their features and technology, they are playing on their good looks and performance.
Kangaroos, Sails and Mobius Rails
This isn't to say Fizik hasn't spent the last two years developing the materials and technology applied to these shoes, they just aren't wearing it on their sleeves. Our R3's had black kangaroo leather at the toe and heel, the strongest, thinnest leather available. The rest of the upper is made of white micro fiber. There are three closures, two Velcro and one ratchet. The ratchet, the only real visual flourish on the shoes, is aluminum and plastic. The Velcro straps utilize sailcloth with zinc pull-tabs. Made for the ocean environment they won't ever stretch, fade, or breakdown.
The carbon fiber outsole is sculpted for stiffness then trends up and around the foot itself in what's called the Mobius Rail. To ensure your heel stays where it can produce power efficiently a Tepex insert cradles the back of the shoe.
Inside the shoe Fizik spent just as much time and energy on design. The insole is a traditional EVA foam, but with different densities and thicknesses in strategic areas. Over the pedal spindle itself is a higher density, thicker insert protecting you from all the pressure at the area of power transfer. The shoe's tongue has a subtle but very powerful tool for keeping the power transfer smooth and comfortable. A pocket for different size inserts helps increase or decrease the shoes volume depending on your foot's unique size.
Overall fit and finish of the shoe is exceptional and honors the tradition of handmade Italian shoes. The R3 would be as at home in a window on Milan's Via Spiga as it is at your local bike shop. Perfect stitching without a thread out of place attaches the kangaroo leather and micro fiber, while flawless blind stitching mates the outer to the interior fabric.
Wide Toes, Tall Arches and Long Hours
A shoe's last, the form it is created around, is the first and most important step in creating a good fit. The R3's last is fairly high volume, especially in the world of handmade Italian cycling shoes, and on the road it worked magically. While some brands still seem determined to make shoes that fit like a ballet slipper to ensure power transfer, Fizik has designed a comfortable fit and lets the stiff, sculpted outsole, strategic insole, and rest of the shoe's features to deliver that power.
This allows for a high, thin arch, thanks to the removable insert in the tongue and a wider toe box that allows your toes some room to breathe giving the sensitive nerves that cause hot foot some relief. Riders that use a wedged insert inside the shoe will find plenty of room for it.
The other benefit of this is something riders that pedal overly toe down will truly appreciate. Yes, we should not pedal toe down, but it's very common and a shoe that accounts for it is a very good thing. With the tepex heel cradle, the three closures, the expandable volume and wide toe box your toes don't end up wedged in the front of the shoe after a few hours. The result is more comfort after long hours in the saddle and we all know being on the bike for 100 miles is tough enough without your feet being an issue. The Fizik R3 is an incredibly comfortable shoe for long miles.
The one long mile concern is ventilation, With only small perforations at the toe and on the inside of the micro fiber exterior, and fairly thick inner lining, the R3 is by no means the best ventilated shoe we have ridden. The tongue, with its insert also provides quite a bit of insulation. Be prepared for a warmer feel on very hot days while in the R3.
But how about short miles? 90 minute criteriums and 2 hour club rides? No one wants a foot that can squirm inside a high volume shoe when an attack comes a few K before the top of the climb or you need to spend a few laps on the front closing the gap to a late race breakaway. The R3 has the goods. The three closures keep your foot securely in place, but that in itself is not news. Velcro and ratchets work. What is impressive is how tight you can crank them down without creating discomfort. Again, it's the unique high volume last, adjustable insert and sculpted outsole that makes this possible. If your frame, or wheels aren't very stiff, the R3's just might reveal that fact.
The Fizik R3 weighs 258 grams, actually lighter than the more costly R1. Despite the R1's carbon ratchet it weighs 270 grams, due mainly to the included SIDAS moldable insert, an extra option with the R3. The R3 is available in the tested black and white, as well as a racing red, and retails for $299. As stated before this is no bargain shoe, but it matches up extremely well with shoes that cost hundreds more and exceeds the performance and aesthetics of shoes in the same price range. The R3 is more than a worthy addition to the shoe market, it has brought new ideas, advanced materials, and true appreciation for the qualities that are necessary to make any Italian shoe great, fit and a commitment to hand make each and every pair.

All Car Alarms Information | ||
A car alarm is the simplest and most effective way to protect your car and its contents. At its most basic, a car alarm consists of a sensor which detects if the vehicle has been tampered with, and a siren to scare away the would-be thief and alert nearby citizens. As cars have gotten more advanced, car alarms have followed, and now offer features such as remote start, keyless entry, 2-way paging and more. A wide variety of sensors are now available, from the standard dual-zone shock sensor designed to guard against smashing windows, to digital tilt sensors which prevent potential thieves from taking rims, catalytic converters and other high-value parts. We carry a variety of sensors and alarms from brands such as AutoPage, Viper, Clifford, Python, ScyTek, Omega, Crimestopper and more! Remote start is an extremely popular feature, particularly in particularly cold areas, as it allows you to warm-up both the engine and interior of the car from the comfort of your home. This is a great feature that will make your mornings easier, and can also help extend the life of your engine! Make your life even more convenient with a keyless entry system these products include a special remote that allows you to lock/unlock your car without fumbling for your keys. For the ultimate in car alarm security, look for a 2-Way paging alarm, as they will notify you from a substantial distance if your alarm is set off. These alarms usually include LCD remotes that will provide vibrate or beep alerts if the vehicle is tampered with. Secure your car and your belongings with a car alarm from Sonic Electronix! |

While, I'm talking about other artists that I like, I want to present to you all, the young talented Scottish singer/songwriter Nina Nesbitt! She got discovered by Ed Sheeran and was one of his support acts during his European tour. She has a beautiful voice and is only 17 years old, she is gorgeous as well. Met her once and she is such a lovely person, very sweet and kind!
Here some songs from her first EP called Live Take EP. She has a second EP coming up called The Apple Tree EP which will be released on the 23rd of April 2012 on iTunes but will also be sold at her gigs in the UK and I also think webshops later on.
Noserings & Shoestrings
And here she did a cover of JME called 96 Fuckries + a Q&A in the beginning of the video

Complete Death Certificates Promptly: It's the Law The State Medical Board reports an increasing number of complaints and inquiries from the public and funeral directors regarding physician failure to complete and sign death certificates in a timely manner. The Oklahoma State Department of Health's Center for Health Statistics indicates a similar increase as well. Most Oklahomans die in hospitals or nursing homes. The majority of death cer-tificates in Oklahoma are completed in the medical examiners' office, by hospitalists, physicians with large nursing home and/or hospice practices, or those in high risk, often hospital-based, specialties. The inundation of medical, legal, insurance and government paperwork under-standably might make physicians and their staffs who routinely deal with a limited number of death cases assign a low priority to death certificates requests. But Okla-homa law is quite clear. A death certificate "shall be filed with the State Department of Health within three (3) days of such death." [63 O.S. § 1-317] The failure to file death certificates promptly may cause probate, insurance and/or financial problems for an already grieving family, and inhibit the ability of the Oklaho-ma State Department of Health to compile the health statistics so important in deter-mining future health policy. Funeral directors initiate the process by entering the deceased's personal data on the death certificate, which must be delivered to the "physician in charge of the patient's care for the illness or condition that resulted in death" or medical examiner within twenty-four (24) hours after the death. The physician then has forty-eight (48) hours to complete, sign and return the medical certification portion of the death certifi-cate to the funeral director. Physicians are required to certify "natural" deaths.

text: On Rational Actors, Kevin and David delve into the debate over race and conservatism sparked by Jonathan Chait's blog post on 12 Years a Slave. Kevin says the distinction between structural and overt racism blinds conservatives, and David notes the trouble of disentangling racially and politically motivated attacks on Obama. How does the whiteness of the elected GOP affect this debate? Have conservatives gone backwards on race in the Obama era? Next, they consider Martin Bashir's resignation from MSNBC and whether liberals have been sexist toward Sarah Palin. Plus: The real reason Alec Baldwin was fired from the network.

Losing Wisdom
One of the things aggravating my mood is this freaky pain in my face. I feel as if I've taking a mean right hook to my jaw. I wake up in the morning oddly aware of the bones in my face, which is a sensation much like the one of hearing nails on a chalkboard. You don't really think of your skeleton on a regular basis, so when it hurts, especially in a place so central to your identity and so close to your brain, you become slightly alarmed.
This is not anything abnormal. It's just the side effect of the wisdom teeth extraction. When I last mentioned this procedure in my comments, everything had gone fine. Since I don't teach on Fridays and Mondays (nice work if you can get it!), I scheduled the procedure for a Friday morning. That way, I would have the whole weekend to recover.
Actually, I planned to recover by Saturday and spend the rest of the time blithely floating in a Vicodin haze as I watched the first season of Lost on DVD. What do they say about "the best laid plans"?
You are probably wondering what made me think that I would be recovered within 24 hours. Well, when I made the appointment, I asked the receptionist how long recovery usually takes. "Oh, a couple of days," she said. Now, my guts responded, "she's kidding, right?" But instead of heeding that skeptical voice, I decided that I liked the receptionist's voice better.
That's probably a fourth rule for girls: listen to your gut, not what you want to hear. Your gut is more likely to be in tune with reality.
On that Friday morning, I went in, entirely unsure of what to expect. They gave me oxygen first, which I inhaled with deep deep breaths. I did this because I once dated a respiratory therapist who told me how oxygen will clear out your sinuses and help with congestion. He was right; and, I felt better in some subtle, inexplicable way, like my cells had all been clean. Maybe it was just psychosomatic?
Then they turned on the happy gas. "Tell me when you feel anything different," the dentist said. "Are you feeling anything now?"
"Nah," I responded; but inhaled deeply, deeply, deeply.
I felt my cheeks twitch. "Heh," I thought. "It really is laughing gas."
I snorted. "Hee!" I thought, "I'm laughing on laughing gas."
I giggled. "Hey, look at me!" I thought, "I'm laughing at myself laughing on laughing gas!"
You can see how the loop progressed. This was exactly how I thought smoking pot would be, but wasn't. Pot just made me stupid, and aware of the stupidity. This was fantastic!
"Tell me if I'm hurting you," the dentist said.
"Ah heh," I said.
Actually, "said" isn't quite the precise term since is suggests actual power of speech, which I did not have both because my mouth was propped open with a gigantic syringe sticking in my gums, and because I'm not certain if I could form actual words in my state of bliss.
Normally, I scream like a little baby at the mere mention of needles. I only want them around me if they are going to leave something pretty behind, like a tattoo or an earring, and even that is becoming less appealing as I age. This dentist stuck me four time and I was so blissed out that, while I registered the pain, I couldn't have cared less about it.
Then, he began pushing on my tooth in the upper right side of my mouth. I waited for something dramatic, like a huge crack. Instead, he pushed and pushed, then a little tug.
"That's one," he said.
"Nnng ahh?" I hummed. "Nnnnahh!"
He had already begun pushing on the opposite, upper side.
"That's two," he said.
Somewhere in the still sober recesses of my mind, I realized that this was all going rather quickly. "Shit!" I thought. "This is going to be over in a few minutes and he's going to cut off the gas. Quick! Breathe deeper! Save some in your lungs!"
By now, he had started on the lower, left tooth. This one was larger than the others. It came in on my 30th birthday. I'm not sure that has any significance, but I thought it bore mentioning. The one on the other side had come in when I took the comprehensive exams for my PhD. I can't remember when the third came in, but it was sometime after my 30th birthday one.
Anyway, he was pushing on the lower one and it didn't want to come out. "More gas!" my happy brain thought, not because the dentist was hurting me, but because that part of my brain was quickly becoming a gashound. The sober part of my brain, however, was worried. The jawbone felt so fragile against the dentist's pressure. "What if the bone breaks?" my sober brain thought, presenting a slide show of skulls missing jaws, jaws hanging like second mouth joints, jaws crumbling like china inside the flesh. "Do I want to be present for this? How do I get out of this body?"
Then, the dentist tugged and the tooth came out.
"Ah, relief," thought my sober brain.
"Damn, there goes the gas," thought my happy brain.
Sure enough, the nurse shoved gauze into my mouth and shut off the gas.
They didn't let me take the teeth with me. These days, extracted teeth fall into the category of "medical waste." I really wanted to turn them into jewelry. Seriously! I thought a pair of earrings and a pendant made of my wisdom teeth would be really cool.
Instead, I took a picture:
The blood is a nice, nasty touch, as are the rotting spots on the big one. That's the one from the lower jaw and the one that led me into this whole procedure. One day I'll freak out my nephews with this picture and thereby become the Coolest Aunt. That, or considering some of their other relatives, the Most Boring.*
All went well for the rest of the day. The most bizarre part was the residual Novocaine, which didn't so much numb half of my mouth as make it disappear. I envisioned a black hole drilled into the lower half of my face. It just wasn't there. When all of the drugs began to wear off, I began popping Vicodin like House.
I exaggerate. I only took two Vicodin, which gave me a nice, dreamless sleep.
The next day, I woke up feeling no pain but about a fuzzy as a teddy bear. I wandered around my apartment for the rest of the day with no ability to concentrate. I remembered that, back in middle school, the stoners were all called "gells" (I have no idea why). That's what I felt like, gell.
Big gaps opened up in my thinking, too. Normally I have what other people call "brain farts," but I envision as a synapse that doesn't quite make the leap from one cell to the next. I have them quite often, actually, and sometimes another thought will helpfully jump in, totally forgetting that it is the wrong thought for the occasion. That is me on a regular day, so you can imagine on the vestiges of prescription painkillers. I would just stop in the middle of a sentence and phase out.
The haze stuck around in bits until Wednesday. In the meantime, I began to feel the need to pop pills like House, without exaggeration. Soreness I would understand. Sharp pointed pain I would have understood, too. This was like a loud bass line caught in the tiny space of my cheek and jawbone, except that it wasn't sound, it was pain. A glowing, low, deep pain. I ran through the remainder of my prescription ibuprofen, and half a bottle of over the counter ibuprofen. The Vicodin was mighty appealing, but I had to have my wits somewhat about me to get through my classes. The best solution that I could find was to suck on a Q-tip soaked in Anbesol.
The Anbesol also served to cover the rank cloud that had become my breath. Apparently gaping wounds don't smell so nice.
My follow-up visit was the next Friday. "Am I supposed to still be in this much pain," I gasped.
He took a look. "Ah, dry sockets," he said, and which you all had probably guessed by now. I considered that possibility, but thought that a dry socket would feel more like that needle of electricity that comes with hitting a nerve. I was sure that this was some infection eating away at the bones, and envisioned a future in a burka to hide my hideous, malformed face that would of course lack half of a skull. The dry socket diagnosis came as a big relief.
The dentist packed one of the sockets with some sort of putty, which promptly popped out and would not go back by the end of the day. Turing to that research tool of great medical scholars, Google, I learned about the miracles of clove oil. Small children were in danger of being run over as I blindly dashed to the CVS for the Toothache Kit.
The Toothache Kit comes with a tiny bottle of clove oil, some curved tweezers, and a little box of tiny cotton balls. You dip the cotton balls in the oil and cram them into the gaping holes in your gums. The excess oil will burn the hell out of the rest of your mouth, but that excruciating pain of exposed bone goes away for several hours. Ahhhhhh!
Yesterday, I went back for the final follow up. He says I'm healing and told me not to pack the socket any longer because that will keep them from closing up. As soon as they close up, the pain will go away. I confess that I've packed them overnight because, damn! bone deep pain in your face doesn't help with sleep. Nor do the bizarre fantasies of the hole going up to your brain, or infected and deteriorating bone, or bugs crawling into the sockets, or whatever freaky shit my subconscious digs up from the fragments of horror movies, X-Files episodes, and surgical film that I've seen over the years. I also pack them for an hour or so when the pain flares up. Bone deep pain doesn't help with grading either.
Meanwhile, anyone who lives with chronic pain has my complete sympathy. I don't know how they do it. Many people might say that you learn to live with it, but I doubt it. Pain is pain, and it is distracting to the point of obsession and depressing in the clinical sense.
Now, I have to go get my clove oil fix because I can feel my cheekbone from the inside.
*It will take a lot to compete with the aunt who had a cute butterfly tattoo on her pelvis until she became pregnant. Now half of it is still cute,but the other half is striped with stretch marks and resembles a comic stretched out on Silly Putty.

Oh, Clio, poor you! I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with all of this! You're stronger than me...I would have reverted to Vicodin at the first twinge of pain. Hope you feel better very soon! (((Clio)))

Thank you, Ink! The pain is now manageable thanks to the miracle that is clove oil. It's more creepy, what with my visions of infected and rotting facial bones, than painful.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear this. I did laugh as I read it, but I'm sorry about it, too. My own wisdom tooth extraction wasn't nearly as dramatic. This is fortunate, because past excesses mean that I'm no longer allowed fun stuff like vicodan, unless my arm has actually been lopped *off.* So I just get the pain without the fun.

I'm so sorry--I hope you're feeling better by now. I also hope you've had some friends in to look after you.
The good thing about the teeth is that once they're gone, they're gone. It's not like they're going to grow back, is it? So that may be a little consolation.

I'm so glad that the clove oil is helping! Dry sockets, owwwww!
If it stops working, you could always try what I did, which was to immediately get a first-degree burn on both palms (caught a hot pan that was falling without oven mitts on), which took my attention away from the tooth pain. Then I had to go to my first day of grad school with face swollen to three times the normal size and both hands wrapped in huge balls of gauze. Yeah, that wasn't embarrassing...

omg!!! you poor woman!! dry sockets are possibly the most painful complication going! i've never had one because i've been a)lucky and b)really lucky. when i got the last two molars out (the long saga of trying to get root canals) i was very conscious of making sure that the clots stayed where they should rather than losing them and ending up with dry sockets. after dealing with a long series of abscesses i didn't want to take the chance.
i hope that the pain goes away really soon and you'll be back to normal, however weird that might be. - 3:09 AM, May 14, 2009

Dry sockets: been there. I didn't have vicodin, clove oil or anything else; they gave me tylenol. Gah. So glad you're feeling better.
I totally agree with your tale of the laughing gas; it's great stuff.

Thank you all. I'm feeling a little better each day. The most frustrating thing now is that I am dying for real food. Eating things with the consistency of baby food doesn't really fill you up.
Ink: I tend to absorb other people's writing styles too easily, so after reading student papers, I have the same problem that you do!
Now, the big question: was that first day of graduate school a harbinger of things to come? I started library school with my arm in a cast, and that turned out to be quite portentious!
Notorious, you and Belle must have the same doctors. No pain medication for this, or only Tylenol, would have been excruciating. They don't give you any alternative to help, not even acupuncture or something more alternative?
Dykewife: Ack! You get a lot of fun at the dentist, don't you? I feel for you (literally)! No wonder you had the good advice about the pudding and jello.
Belle: I felt so complacent and happy on the stuff that I wondered why it wasn't piped into such environments as classroom -- not that I'm advocating that! It just seemed like someone, somewhere along the line might have considered and implemented such a plan.
Gotta love word verification! Does it have some sort of bot that picks up clues in the post, I wonder? - 10:14 AM, May 14, 2009

Ooh, you have a good excuse to get a Jamba Juice with protein powder and peanut butter!
(Too bad we didn't start grad school on the same day so we could have blogged about it.)
Hope you feel better soon. - 4:51 PM, May 14, 2009
- Clio Bluestocking said...
Now, you see, the problem with the Jamba Juice plan is that it involves peanut butter. Peanut butter is my crack cocaine. Once I start, I can't stop. First, it's a little in the Jamba Juice, and next thing you know, I'm blobbed out on the couch surrounded by empty jars of Skippy and freebasing the Jiff without even the benefit of a spoon.
If we had started graduate school together, I think my whole experience might have been a much happier story.. - 8:31 PM, May 14, 2009

A tangy salad dressing that tastes delish on a salad topped with fish or any type of seafood.

You don't understand. Weird, but so, so good.

An easy and fresh homemade citrus salad dressing.

So easy to make this classic at home and adapt it to your preference!
by Daisy's World and filed in Salad Dressings, Salads
This recipe for Green Goddess Dressing was adapted from the original recipe created in the 1920′s at San Francisco's landmark Palace Hotel. It features lots of fresh herbs: tarragon, parsley and chives. Don't skimp on the anchovies—they give the dressing a depth and complexity and no fishy taste.
Nancy is the Coupon Clipping Cook, which means she not only has an astounding number of recipes to share with us (her TK recipe box is busting at the seams!) but she's also got loads of money-saving tips in her blog (she worked at a grocery store for a number of years, so she knows her stuff). She has some pretty amazing creations, like Roasted Garlic Potato Soup and Nutty Coconut Chicken. Go check them out!
Heather is a Texas native and the blogger behind Heather's Dish. She's mom to Weston, wife to Nate, and they live in Little Rock, Arkansas with their two "stubborn and saucy" dogs Bunker and Keira. In her blog, she shares her photographs, random musings (serious and silly alike), and all kinds of scrumptious recipes---and not just evil variations of her favorite mac and cheese. Her enviable TK recipe box is a testament to that. Go see for yourself!

I had an idea today that I hope you guys can help me out with. I have to learn how to use this data visualization software for work. That's a fancy way of saying I have to make some charts and graphs. This software has some good map functions, and I thought we could build a Tens map. If you want to be on the map, fill out this form. I'll put together a map and we can see where all the Tens are. All I need is your first name, city, and sate. There are optional fields to insert your email address, twitter, and facebook. Pop your details in there if you want. Maybe we'll all make a bunch of new friends.
It will be like this, but less depressing.
Thanks in advance if you fill out the form.
Listen to today's podcast if you want to picture Andrew Walsh clubbing in LA. It's a fun image.

I have been recieving emails from Tens, and I like it guys. Keep sending your emails this way. I'll read all of them. Sout's honor*. I got an email from Burien Ten (BuriTen?) Julie, who wants Andrew to know that she's sad to see him go. Don't worry, Julie. New Andrew is here to make everything better. Shhhh. Shhhhh. Everything's okay.
She even sent in this nice photo.
I also got a nice email from listener Adrian Bayford who says he and his wife are donating a million dollars to me. How sweet of them. I don't know what I did, but I probably deserve it.
Also, Luke plays an interview with Rob Delaney today that is great. Check it out.

Congratulations to all the TBTL Club for Eagle Soaring members who ran in the Seattle Marathon or half marathon yesterday. You worked really hard and should be genuinely proud of yourselves. Hey, how many times does an average marathon runner tinkle during a race? It's a long race and you're sucking down water the whole time. Please let me know in the comments.
Any Tens in this picture? Probably not. It's from the Boston Marathon.
I would also like to extend a congratulations to the Seahawks for answering the question: Who dat gonna beat dem Saints? THE SEAHAWKS ARE. HARD. SPORT!
So congratulations to all you Eagle Soarers, the Seahawks, Farts McGee, Fart McGee, and Fartbeats. Those last three are my fantasy football teams' names. They all won too. Yes, I'm a 27-year-old man with three fantasy football teams with fart in the name. I may be single, but I had a 3-0 fantasy football weekend, so I got that going for me. Which is nice.
Song of the day The Plan Built to Spill
Oh my gourd, you guys, my grandma is making dinner tomorrow and I'm going to eat so much of it. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving (or as Adele calls it, "Fanksgiving"), and I hope if you like Thanksgiving as much as I do, you have a nice, warm place to gather with people you care about and stuff your grill.
I'm going to Grandma's tomorrow for a family Thanksgiving, but I was also fortunate enough to get invited to a "Friendsgiving" last weekend. I ate so much I didn't eat again until 4pm the next day. We danced on tables.
Friendsgiving '13: The Dancening
At one point my best bud Travis said something to me about memories. I don't remember exactly what it was, because there was a lot of vino consumed, but I'll put it in quotes and we'll pretend this is exactly what he said, "I rank memories by how many dementors I could fight off with them. This memory will be able to handle at least a couple of dementors."
Whether you're doing a traditional family Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or nothing at all. I hope the next few days create a memory good enough to fight off a couple of dementors.
Have a great Thanksgiving, and I'm sorry if you're not a Harry Potter fan.

I took some pictures last night at the Uber HQ while Luke and Andrew were podcast from 32 floors above the earth. I got to meet some really nice Tens including Sarah, Will, Dave, and some others who's names I didn't catch because I'm not great at human interaction. Everyone I met was an absolute peach. Enjoy some pics.
Richard Sherman's face was there too.
There were roughly 10 Tens
Not a bad view for a podcast
If I put your face on here and you don't want it on the internet, please let me know as soon as you can (email@example.com) so I can take your face off. I will also take your face off your face and wear it like a mask.
Big thanks to Uber Jen and the very funny Uber Drew Barth for letting us take over their office.
It was Andrew's last show while also being a Seattle resident. We'll all miss him and his delightful neuroses. Even if I were to become "New Andrew" you can't have "New Andrew" without an Andrew good enough to warrant keeping the name. Safe travels, buddy.

"So is beautiful day for football a bit of a pyro, or what?"
You should have seen that blaze 10 mins before the photo was shot. We didn't think to photograph until it had died down a bit. The original pile of sticks and logs was eight feet high and five feet wide. It took me and another guy about 45 mins to build it.
The pit itself is about 12 ft diameter and two feet deep.
It's ALWAYS a BDFF. That's a running spartan stadium announcer joke. He gives the weather report, whatever that may be, and ends with "It'ssssss a beauuuutiful daaaaay foooooor Footballllllll!!!!" -- as the crowd chants lustilly along with him.
It's extra fun on days like this. The Florida Atlantic game, with 27 mph winds and 2 inches of rain, was particularly amusing.

The mind of a teenage girl is an enigma wrapped in a mystery and deep-fried in a riddle. It's no wonder why most fathers are perplexed by how their daughters' minds work. Just thinking about it is exhausting and a little scary, sort of like being on a roller coaster that never stops. Truly, it was not supposed to be like this.
Things started innocently enough. My wife and I were blessed with both a handsome son and a beautiful daughter. My son, our firstborn child, was easy for me to figure out because he was a boy and I used to be a boy at one point. I established my relationship with him early on by letting him know that I am dad, he's not, and if things did not go my way, there would be consequences. He understood that concept, accepted it, and we've been cool since then. My boy is allergic to drama and avoids it at all costs.
My daughter, on the other hand, apparently did not get the memo, email, text, tweet, or whatever type of communication that is hot right now. She had her own agenda from the start. Needless to say, I had to come up with a whole new playbook to even stay on the same field with her.
She had me fooled from the very beginning. When my daughter was born, she was this beautiful bundle of cuteness and I was instantly enamored with her. As she began to crawl, then walk, and eventually talk, she became my "little princess" and I was hooked.
Little girls do something pretty amazing with her father's heart. They take it, throw it in a cell, and hold it for ransom. Once they become teenagers, you are forced to negotiate with your daughter for the sake of your heart. I have seen grainy videos of my heart with tears rolling down its face, reading a ransom letter stating, "She wants an iPad Mini or she promises to make every family outing as miserable as possible."
Okay, so I might be exaggerating, but you get my point. It is hard enough to figure out my wife and she's a full-grown woman. Imagine trying to figure out a teenage girl who has not quite figured out what she is supposed to figure out. If she doesn't even understand herself, then what chance do I have of understanding her? Having a conversation with my daughter about her "feelings" leaves me as confused as Mike Tyson in a spelling bee.
When my daughter was younger, I was Superman to her. Seriously, I could do no wrong in her eyes. Now that she's a teenager, I have become an idiot overnight with no fashion sense and no clue about pop culture. It blows my mind because I consider myself a modern-day Renaissance man. I tweet; I'm on Facebook all the time. I know what Instagram is, and I can sing the lyrics to a few Justin Bieber songs. I am the coolest dad ever!
Still, I get no credit for any of those things. My daughter just looks at me and gives me this smile that seems to say, "Oh, you poor, pitiful man. No matter what you do, you will always be uncool to me."
Out of all the things that trouble me about dealing with my teenage daughter, I would have to say the mood swings are probably the worst. Never have I seen someone go from happy to sad, back to happy, then angry, then back to sad ... in less than five minutes. Adults who exhibit this type of behavior usually requiring some type of medication, but apparently this is just a normal day for a teenage girl. I know better than to ask, "What's wrong with you?" because I will undoubtedly get the same answer, which is, "Nothing." Unless there is some type of physical ailment involved, I don't even ask questions anymore. My wife, who has become our interpreter, will give me the lowdown anyway. The system works.
To say that my daughter is a little dramatic is like saying men are a tiny bit fond of steak. I have to admit, though, that some of her performances are truly Oscar-worthy. To watch her tell a story about something that happened at school is like watching a one-woman play and she nails it every time. It's almost like you're there. However, those same skills can be used for evil, especially when she is trying to get her way or feels she has been wronged. When that happens, I feel like I am in a really bad Lifetime movie.
Yes, I know you are thinking to yourself, "This guy is ripping his daughter to shreds. What kind of father is he?" First of all, don't judge me.
Secondly, if you do not have a daughter, then your criticism means nothing to me. I have been knee-deep in the trenches and I know there are a lot of fathers who can relate to everything I said. Honestly, I still have so much more to go through because my daughter is only thirteen. For example, there is the onslaught of boys I am going to have to deal with sooner or later. My head hurts just thinking about some snot-nosed kid knocking on my door for my daughter's hand. The poor sap that has to deal with me to date my daughter had better be prepared. That's all I have to say about that.
Truthfully, as much as I claim to not understand my daughter, she is actually more like me than I am willing to admit. She is genuinely kind to people and fiercely loyal. My daughter is definitely a social butterfly with the type of personality that makes every person she encounters feel like a friend. She's loving, caring, and -- other than the occasional over-the-top moment --an all-around cool person. Just like her dad.
So I guess if you think about it, I have the same temperament and personality of a thirteen-year-old girl. Oh, wait a minute.

Adelaide Mestre has been a woman divided for much of her life.
Her heritage on her mother's side is the world of WASPs, Park Avenue and the Social Register. Department store magnate Marshall Field III and Metropolitan Opera co-founder Cornelius Bliss were her great-grandfathers.
Distinguished in its own right, her father's family was listed in the "gold book" of Cuban society. Her grandfather, Abel Mestre, and his brothers owned CMQ, the country's leading radio and television network, until Fidel Castro drove the family into exile. Yet until she took a trip to Cuba in 2010 in search of memories and her late father's Steinway piano, Mestre's connection to that part of her identity was far more ephemeral.
Reconciling the many facets of her life is at the heart of Top Drawer, the play with music Mestre will perform Saturday and Sunday at Miami-Dade County Auditorium's OnStage Black Box Theatre.
Mestre, who lives in New York, is the first to tell you, in Top Drawer and in conversation, that she has had a pattern of not following her passions to fruition. She dropped out of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, had an off-again on-again career as an actress (including a small role in the Woody Allen movie Husbands and Wives) and never quite became the cabaret singer she intended to be. But Top Drawer, which she's working to turn into a memoir and maybe a movie, is different.
"I hadn't put the pieces of my life together. I knew them all separately ... but this was like looking back and seeing the patterns in my life," she says. "I never would have imagined the show would bring such healing. Writing it, working through it, facing it all — it became a tribute to my dad, a way to keep him alive. I created a piece of art that has transmuted my sense of loss."
Mestre's father, Luis Enrique Mestre, dreamed of becoming a concert pianist but went to Harvard Business School to please his parents. He pursued performing until a teacher told him he'd never be one of the great pianists, then switched careers to become an art dealer. He was also a gay man whose "best friend" was his lover, a truth that came out (as Mestre himself did) when Adelaide was a child.
His relationship with Mestre's mother, Barbara Bliss Mestre, began through a shared love of music — her quashed dream was to become an opera singer — while Barbara was married to a State Department officer. When Mestre's parents wed, Luis wept, answering Barbara's question about why by saying, "Because I never thought I'd have this."
In collaborating on Top Drawer with director-actor Lauren "Coco" Cohn (Rosie in the current Broadway production of Mamma Mia!) and musical director Doug Oberhamer, Mestre found that elusive thing called closure.
"It was amazing to tell my dad's story. I grew up with the shame of having a gay dad in the '70s, when it wasn't OK. And then he committed suicide, which was another kind of shame," she says.
" Top Drawer aired it all out. … People respond to different things — the story of a gay dad, the suicide, my parents' love story. I have a feeling of wholeness. This does feel like it completes something in my family."

Deep ruby with a lovely ripe nose of plums, briar, carob and chocolate, this elegant "Super-Venetian" Cabernet/Merlot/Oseleta blend boasts ripe tannins and balanced structure.
A deep garnet red colour witnesses the long barrel ageing. The first impression on the nose is of fresh black cherry aromas, leading into notes of maraschino cherry and plum. Immense depth and complexity on the palate: dried fruit, oolong tea, liquorice, spice, red-berry fruits, and a long velvety vanilla note on the finish. However, the key to this wine has got to be the sweetness level. It is genuinely dry, unlike many modern-style competitors.
A red cherry colour with hints of purple. Fresh on the nose with cherry and almond blossom, a hint of dog rose and notes of red fruits. In the mouth it has a tight attack and good weight which is kept lively with savoury structure and lifted acidity. Good length.
Violet red colour. Intense notes of blackcurrant red, plum, raspberry, black cherry and spice. Fresh with a good balance between acidity, sweetness and sapidity.
A typically spicey Pinot Grigio nose is followed by a more opulent palate, where the mouthfilling Sauvignon Blanc adds body and an underlying smoothness to the finish. A very accomplished wine and a really successful blend.
Deep dark ruby with a violet rim. Notes of black and sour cherries, berries, spices and dried fruit. The palate is creamy with soft tannins and integrated oak. A lighter, fruitier and younger version of Bertani's icon Amarone Classico.
At the nose appreciates the sweetness of its aromas,
that combine the red fruits like compote of red and
sour cherries with the spices and eucalyptol.
In the mouth it opens widely and enfolding, leaving
