Financial Woes
The obvious dilemma I have going forward is that I want to race even more in the next few years than I have in the past few years. Financially this does not add up. I would love to be able to support myself through my running/biking. This is of course a dream that many have but few, if any, actually come to realize... especially considering that I have no interest in road racing where there actually is a decent amount of prize money if you're at an elite level.
I've tried a bit in the past couple years, with very little response, to pursue endorsement deals with various businesses who sell products that I use in my training/racing. I did receive a little help this year in the form of free or reduced price products from Nuun, Epic Designs, and Foggy Mountain Shop (check out my sidebar for links to these great businesses).
My current job is pretty near non existent as a source of income. I have left so many times this year to go to races that I always need to wait awhile when I get back to Juneau before there is a need for me in the kitchen that I work in. Right now I am only going to be getting in about 10 hours a week until I'm needed more than that.
The obvious answer is that I need to get a new job and not take so much time off from work. In the long term this is what I know I need to do, but right now I am not planning on living in Juneau for more than another month or two (at the most) so looking for a new job is not an option until I move. As far as not taking so much time off from work, I'll save that for a few years down the road when I'm no longer at my racing prime and thus no longer interested in running so many races.
The current financial dilemma I'm dealing with is that my $800 entry fee for The Iditarod Invitational needs to be paid pretty soon here and I currently do not have the money (not to mention that I still need to buy my plane tickets for San Francisco and Honolulu for my next two races). I'm sure I'll find some way to come up with the money but just in case this sob story has made anyone feel sorry for me and you're interested in helping out I've added a donate link and an advertisement link near the top of my sidebar.
I know this seems like I'm pretty much just begging for money because I'm too often out having fun running when I should be working. Ummm. Yeah... I guess that's pretty much what it is. I like to think of it as something a little less humiliating than that though. My training and racing is not always fun but it's without a doubt something that I always have a passion for. I'd like to think that occasionally others benefit from this passion, whether it be a company selling product through my endorsement, people being inspired by my experiences/performances, or people learning things about training/racing from my typically honest and in depth reports here on my blog.
I apologize in advance for those of you that are annoyed with this post. I'm somewhat annoyed with myself for writing it, but if it helps me come up with enough money to do all of the upcoming races that I'm hoping to do then it's worth being a little annoying I guess.

I have sent some, too. I hope it helps.
I'm in a complete different situation (family, 2 kids, house, etc), but your blog and way of living has inspired me to start running and so I finished my first 11km race a month ago (I know, it's peanuts :)) and keep running ever since. Thanks for that, Geoff. - October 16, 2008 at 12:12 AM
I have been pretty much annoyed by your blog entries of late. Get a life man!

From one manic to another -
The key concept missing here: sustainability. Passions are great so long as they don't overrun every aspect of your life. It's fun to burn he candle at both ends but when the wax is gone what are you left with?
At some point your race schedule will be reality based. It's best to make that a proactive rather than reactive decision. - October 16, 2008 at 6:25 AM
You stated in this entry that you are not into road races where there is money to be made.
And, while this type of racing is not what you desire,if you went this route you have the possiblity, not a guarantee though, of at least supporting yourself while doing what you love.
This would be a commonsense and prudent thing to re-consider and pursue.
If you are set against road racing,then for you running is not about the financial aspect.
Although you indicated that you are at your prime for the races in which you compete, what are your chances,realistically, to finish in the top slots?
I think you seem to address this question and that answer is that while it is possible it is not probable.
I am trusting that you are reflecting where you are at in life not just from the racing aspect, but also from the totality of your life.
I could see if you were 22yrs old and in the position of considering whether to continue racing, the type of racing, livelihood choices, where to live situations and girlfriend/partner decisions.
However,Geoff you are 32 years old and the better part, and outlook , for your racing lifestyle is not on an upward trajectory.
Perhaps, maybe that is where things are at with you.
You may realize that you only have so many years left to do what you love.
If that is the case , and if you feel a part of you will die you do not continue race as long as you feel you are able to do so, then maybe continuing in it is something to continue.
Still, there comes a time to realize what you are giving up for this avocation and try to see past the race finish line .
In other words, in addition to looking forward as to how to compete in those upcoming races, another question is what areas of your life are you running away from and why is this so? - October 16, 2008 at 6:29 AM
wow, sounds like the anons need to get a life, and keep that crap to themselves.

donation sent... isn't much but its what I had in my paypal
maybe you could/should check into something you could do (work-wise) that would give you the opportunity to race/train but also compensate you enough to feed your passion? Not sure if it would work well with the timing of races but something like teaching might work. (and you could coach XC! ;) - October 16, 2008 at 8:59 AM
Lots of anonymous psychobabble.....
And who says it's not probable that you would win? That's just dumb-don't listen.

Don't listen to all the anons - this is your Mom the one you are supposed to listen to - go for it - we all love you and support you - you are truly an inspiration to all of us - we just look forward to the day that you finally decide to move closer so we can enjoy attending your races like we used to all the XC meets. We love you and the check is in the mail.

If I were you, Goeff, I'd look for some kind of stupid desk job. I was a bill collector for 3 years before heading back to grad school. While it was soul crushing at times, I made pretty decent money, had a flexible schedule, and tons of time to train. Good luck figuring it out.
- October 16, 2008 at 1:34 PM
I love reading your blog. Anything to keep it going.
- October 16, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Racing on borrowed money. Injured no less. That's rough. Added pressure to perform.
Just run. Run locally. Have fun. Run a race once in a while, you'll probably win.
Or work your ass (and debt) off and go back and get the GDR. You've already got this whole running thing figured out. Back on the bike? - October 16, 2008 at 3:12 PM
- Grae Van Hooser said...
My 2 cents, which apparently is two more then you have right now.
It sounds like this panhandling post is just putting off the inevitable for you. Your going to have to get a job. And no, road racing is probably not realistic. That is unless you can go sub 28 for 10k or sub 2:10 in the marathon and score a nice shoe contract. And those times do not get good contracts. And even then, you may be able to scrape by. It sounds like you have a good sense of what you need to do, but your behavior does not indicate this. It looks like you have some initial good results in ultra's and have figured out that you want to continue to pursue the running end of things. On the unfortunate side, you are pursuing a "fringe" sport that only within the last few years has taken off, so to speak.You don't see a lot of poor people running ultras and bike racing, do you. But the fact of the matter is that ultra running is expensive to the participant, has few true industry sponsors that don't have limited funds themselves. Why, the audience is just not there.It also sounds like your kind of scattered and trying to figure out a direction without a prioritization of your goals. And just digging yourself a debt hole with credit cards is going to make things worse. Your going to have to pay the piper some time. Especially if can not even afford to pay the interest.And on top of this you enter a race with a $800 dollar entry fee and another race in Hawaii? You can't have your cake and eat it to. Only those with money can. You stated previously that you were not going to live in Alaska. Why are you there now? Aren't you from Utah? It seems much more realistic to go back to Utah and maybe get a job at a ski resort for the season. If that doesn't work, possibly getting a job with an outdoor gear company there. There are a few. Maybe in the warehouse. You know Matt Hart. I believe he is in SLC right now. Maybe he can give you some ideas? Work off some debt in the winter, forgo some races, plan on going to the races you can afford and that would also be most important to you. Living in Utah would be a lot closer to the races it seems you prefer to do anyway. In the next few months,work on putting together a resume of your results and goals. Ask your sponsor NUUN to score you a badge for the Winter Outdoor Retailer Show in SLC coming up, hand out your resume. See what happens. Most of all, you need to quickly step back, get some goals, accept the fact that you can't run every race you want to right now, and start down the path that will lead you there in the future. Well, what are you waiting for? ;) - October 16, 2008 at 3:36 PM
that last comment was bull. only people with money can do what they want to do. maybe thats true most of the time, unless you are passionate about something, have a goal, are smart and are able to sacrifice, and think outside the box. you are all of these things, and you've got your priorities straight. why waste time, by living the life you're "supposed to live" and have regrets?

Dude, I love your blog. I have had fun watching your awesome progress. But this is a synopsis of the problem with America, learn some self responsibility! People just can't do whatever the hell they want and expect no consiquences. You need to work. I love ultra running but I also know that I have to be responsible. But I guess that is why you tend to lean left politically, you always think someone else will bail you out. I'm sorry that was harsh and I do think you seem to be a decent person, but it's time to grow up dude.
- October 16, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Wow. There is certainly quite a lot of criticism here. I understand their good points and appreciate the workings of a capitalistic society, but we should consider the value that Geoff's running and blog entries gives to us. I enjoy reading them and gain inspiration and I know others do to. Instead of thinking of this as charity, try looking at it like offering something in return.
Go get 'em Geoff! - October 16, 2008 at 5:00 PM
- Jill Homer said...
I'm a little sick of people treating blog donations as "woe is me" charity drives. Where do you think blog content comes from? Blogs and the Internet in general are the main reason I'll never be able to make a living as a writer and/or photographer, and yet I contribute to my own demise by pumping out a ton of free content on the Internet. I don't mind. I do it because I have to. Geoff's the same way with his running.
I've known Geoff for eight years and he can practically live on dirt, and will if he has to. He'll be fine whether he has money or not, but he won't be fine if gives up running. - October 16, 2008 at 5:22 PM
Why is it so hard for people to take responsibility for their actions nowadays, htfu and get yourself sorted, instead of "running" from the issue.

Geoff, I donated money but if you are coming through Anchorage before or after the Iditarod I would love to take you ( and Jill!) out to dinner or offer you a place to stay!
- October 16, 2008 at 5:36 PM
I've read through all of the comments.
Although some have commented that some entries are harsh and dream stopping, I don't see it that way.
These "harsh" posts are simply stating real-world advice in a caring way.
If people did not care, even the anonymous poster, then they would not take the time to state their thoughts.
There are elements of truth to all of what people have stated.
It all bears down on the choices along with the results are you prepared to accept and which bring you peace.
Best of luck with your endeavors and racing. - October 16, 2008 at 6:10 PM
Have you noticed that all the long winded, nay-saying advice givers are the anonymous people who really don't know you at all? Listen to your true friends and your family (you have a ton of both) and follow your heart as you always have. - October 16, 2008 at 6:34 PM

Wow Geoff, i guess you opened up the flood gates here. As a fellow 30 something with a 'real job' and family commitments I would say ride it out as long as you can. You'll get plenty of 'reality' down the road. I think it is very important to follow your dreams and do whatever you can to live them. If that means struggling to make ends meet so be it. You are the one that needs to decide if it is worth it. Give up a race or two if you need to, but keep at it.
Good luck. Bryan - October 16, 2008 at 9:53 PM

I go along with Bryan.
I'm mid-40s, 2 kids, wife, mortgage. I still find time to run ultras; but not travel throughout the U.S. to do it. I did my traveling before my first was born (when I was 32). Glad I had the chance. I'm actually making decent money now; and pull in the long runs along with family vacations.
You only go around once; pursue your passion.
Oh, BTW, I'm NOT left wing at all. I despise both candidates; I'm libertarian. - October 17, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Dude.. You are in the situtaion we all want.. No resposibiity, low payments, work 10 hours a day. If you fail at say the GDR its no big deal b/c you can just pull up camp and hit it again.. $10-20k in debt isnt that bad. I payed off $40k for my silly under grad.. Go for it man.. You need a plan and an agent. You got the talent, just not the brains. Get a trainer, get a rep, go to all the stupid tent sale events in Juneau and market you yourself. Its a job to be pro.. Go do it!!!!
I have met you and thought you were a trust fund bitch.. Prove me wrong. Nut up and make a living of what you love. - October 17, 2008 at 7:09 PM

Geoff, I can empathize with your situation, but I am not going to give you money. Instead, I am going to enter a race to cure juvenile diabetes. Tomorrow, I may do a race for another charity. I'm going to devote my well earned cash to people and organizations with clear and unselfish goals.
I'm 31 years old, $29,000 in debt, and, like Jill, wish there was a solid market for my writing and photography skills. I'm not going to stop pursuing those dreams, but I have other dreams too. That's why I work at a nine to five job that relates to writing, but isn't quite the dream occupation.
If running is your true passion then you must pursue it with a mission and clear goals for success. I'm not getting that from this posting. Instead, you sound more like an addict. Addicts are generally running from something and not towards something - pun intended.
You are obviously an avid outdoorsman who knows how to train his body to endure physical activities. You also mention that you want people to be inspired by your skills and accomplishments. Perhaps you could find a job teaching these skills in some fashion? I know I would be interested in learning. - October 18, 2008 at 1:26 AM
To all the anons that are so negative - this is my SON you are ripping apart - if you don't like his blog - it is simple - don't read it.
There is an old saying that goes - if you don't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all - so that is also simple - shut up.
Geoff is such an inspiration to all who know him and to others that are inspired by his training and running abilities.
I agree with Jill - Geoff will live on dirt if he has to - material things do not matter to Geoff - for example - he drives a car with 310,000+ miles. He basically can survive for a week out of one small backpack.
He has many people who follow his blog including his family and a ton of friends - he has many nieces, nephews and cousins who idolize him and can't wait for the next opportunity to spend time with him.
There are also many people who would like to be in his shoes - freedom to basically do as he wants to and be able to survive on as little work as possible. Most of you negative anons are just jealous.
So, let's not slam Geoff any more but rather stand behind him and help him fulfill his dreams. The world is definitely a better place because of Geoff.
Geoff, we all love you and wish you all the success you deserve. Keep it going. - October 18, 2008 at 7:55 AM
Hey Geoff,
I've just came over to read your blog having found it through Jill's blog which I read regularly.
Seems like you have quite a bit going on in your life.
I am not going to give you any advice as I don't know you and you don't know me. Even if we did know each other and were friends, I'd ask you first if you were interested in my opinion before I gave it to you.
So, I simply hope with whatever you decide to do it brings peace to you.

Blogs are a form of attention seeking. If you're not getting paid to blog then the only reason for doing it is to get other people to follow your stories and pay attention to you. It's Andy Warhol's "15 minutes of fame" for everyone.
I could never understand why a blogger would be upset about comments made on their blog. You're opening up your life for the whole world to see, you can't expect 100% positive support all of the time. If you don't want the attention or possible negative reactions then why blog at all ?.
As far as ....."Blogs and the Internet in general are the main reason I'll never be able to make a living as a writer and/or photographer".... goes that just sounds like a load of bullshit and making excuses. If you put as much effort into finding a job as a writer or photographer as you do riding your bike and hiking, you'd BE a writer or photographer. Or maybe even get a better paying job somewhere other than the newspaper you work at now. - October 18, 2008 at 2:56 PM
- Geoff said...
Response to anon. directly above:
blogs CAN be about attention getting and primarily for the enjoyement of the readers, but most avid bloggers I know (and jill definitely fits into this category) do it primarily for themselves. it's a more open, interactive way to keep a journal/record/training log/diary or whatever you want to call it, but it's still more an extension of something that you might otherwise keep scribbled in a ragged notebook than it is an attempt at getting attention from others.
of course it can be asked then why, if you're not seeking attention, not just keep it in a notebook and keep it to yourself? i can't speak for jill on this front, but for me i know that i appreciate the feedback that i get from others. it helps me learn more about myself to see how other people interpret me. but that's pretty much where it ends. i don't feel like i have an obligation to agree with or accept everything that people say about me. at the end of the day it's still my blog and it has very little to do with trying to please/get attention of my readers. getting some feedback/attention is kind of a little icing on the cake but it's not a huge part of the process. - October 18, 2008 at 4:45 PM

While I can certainly sympathize with the desire to do something you love, I have a hard time with the idea of doing something until you've ruined yourself financially. You're not Forest Gump, man.

There are people that have the same passion as you Geoff and also work full time jobs.
Sure, it isn't easy, but you still have to be able to support yourself in a responsible fashion.
Please don't get me wrong...if I were 20-30 years younger I would want to be doing the same thing, and I respect the hell out of you for doing what you're doing.
Anyway, best of luck to you whatever you decide.

One more thing I forgot to mention. You've chosen your lifestyle which I have the greatest respect for, but why should you be asking for donations?
You chose to put yourself in the situation you are in. Make it work. There are far too many other people who are unable to support themselves for one reason or another that deserve support because they have no choice. - October 21, 2008 at 6:18 PM
Anon at 2:56:
I should have clarified that the Internet is what is killing the newspaper biz, which is my biz. I'm already looking into having the branch out into PR or advertising, because so much journalism content is free these days. No one's paying for it anymore, or paying the people who create it. Being a writer or photographer is ultra-competitive and not very realistic as a career if you even want to make enough money to live on. I might as well just come out and say I want to be a professional ultra-runner (which, by the way, essentially don't exist.)
If you believe Geoff's blog is worthless, and if you believe his running is worthless, that's fine. But then why are you spending so much time reading it if that's the case?
I think for those who object to soliciting donations/sponsorships on a blog, we'll all just have to agree to disagree. You obviously see it different then I do. I see local playwrite trying to put his work into production - you see lazy panhandler on the street. One has an art for which there is no realistic corporate sponsor, but which can still benefit others who *choose* to get involved. The other is a lazy bum. It's a free, free-market country. You get to choose your opinion. - October 22, 2008 at 10:55 PM

In America there are ways to make money, the free economic opportunity still exists compared to other countries.
I have been traveling the Middle East for the last year and will be traveling the world for the next 4 years, although, I waited and saved my money.
Finding a balance with personal desires and goals is the trick.
In America is it kind of strange when people ask for money to pursue a sport—seems selfish.
In Egypt, which I traveled for 5 months, people that ask for money are hungry. - October 23, 2008 at 4:05 AM

Wow, lots of anger in some of these responses. hope you don't take any of that crap to heart. Jeff, I enjoy your blog and appreciate your sharing your exploits. If I had some extra cash, I would send you some just to support something I enjoy reading about.

Geoff will always do whatever the hell he wants and he'll be good at it. I'm not worried about you. If people want to give you money, that is fine. I'll offer my couch and I'll even make you a dinner. I'd even pack you snacks for your race if you let me. Dude, you'll figure it out. And if asking for money is one of the ways you are figuring it out, and people are willing to support you, go for it! You don't want to look back when you are old and think that maybe if you did post that one blog entry you could have....

I enjoy hearing about your running but it is too bad about your self imposed financial situation. Good luck finding income that supports your lifestyle. It takes work to win a race and work to fund the race so find a job...From a guy that works 10hours a day..has a high paying job (lucky) worked at what he loves, earned degrees and runs ultras...If I can work so can you

Stovetop Barbecued Chicken "Ribs"
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Rained out? Counting pennies? Both? Have I got a deal for you! Several years ago, I was asked by a local ministry to work with a group of women on menu planning and the cooking of quick and inexpensive meals. I grudging said yes because the request was put to me in such a way I couldn't refuse. I suspect that many of you have found yourselves in a similar position and understand how it happens that smiling lips say yes, yes, while the brain that should be directing the whole show, is screaming no, no. As it turned out, the classes were a really pleasant experience and I learned as much as I taught. The challenge was to prepare a month of meals for a family of four, for about $75 a week. It wasn't easy, but working together we were able to fashion a month of meals that met the challenge. My personal goal was to come up with meals that weren't necessarily associated with cooking on the cheap. I hate to pander to people or rehash lessons that folks have already learned. I used a lot of chicken in my demonstrations, particularly chicken legs, which, then and now, could be had for pennies on the dollar. This is one of the recipes that I used. It makes a really nice meal and I think those of you who try it will enjoy it. At the time, we joked about the barbecued legs and called them poor man's spareribs. I'm also including links to some of the other recipes I used for the chicken demonstrations. In almost all cases, you can upgrade to chicken thighs or breasts if you prefer to use them. The recipes are all solid and I really think you'll like them.
Barbecued Chicken"Ribs"...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Janet Porterfield
8 bone-in chicken thighs or legs
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup water
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
1) In a Dutch oven, brown chicken over medium heat in oil in batches on both sides; drain. Return all of the chicken to the pan.
2) In a large bowl, combine the water, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple juice, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, pepper flakes and ginger; pour over chicken. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 180°.
3) Remove chicken to a platter and keep warm. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into cooking juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken. Yield: 4 servings.

I have to take exception with this one. 180 degrees is way over the limit. 165 is plenty. Also, I would leave out at least 2/3 of the brown sugar.

One of the challenges of eating on a budget is that often the choice is time or money and most people on a budget have little of either. :( So, while I can cook on a budget, I am in the kitchen all day (and love it!) but someone else may not have that luxury... Good idea to serve poor man's spare ribs! :)

It sounds like a fantastic ministry that you were part of, and a lot of fun too! I love this use for chicken legs, which are always the favorite part of the bird in my house!
- August 3, 2011 at 11:54 AM
you got me thinking ... someone needs to make an iPhone app that lets you take a drumstick recipe and convert it to thighs, or thinly sliced breast meat, or whatever. wouldn't be much, just a little bit of time and temp difference, I'm guessing. because most of the time, the way to save money isn't to buy the one thing that's usually cheaper but to buy the thing that's on sale that week, or the thing they have in the big family pack that day.
the sauce looks great! - August 3, 2011 at 12:57 PM

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vernon Hugh Bowman seems comfortable with the old way of doing things, right down to the rotary-dial telephone he said he was using in a conference call with reporters.
But the 75-year-old Indiana farmer figured out a way to benefit from a high-technology product — soybeans that are resistant to weed-killers — without always paying the high price that such genetically engineered seeds typically bring. In so doing, he ignited a legal fight with seed-giant Monsanto Co. that has now come before the Supreme Court, with arguments taking place Tuesday.
The court case poses the question of whether Bowman's actions violated the patent rights held by Monsanto, which developed soybean and other seeds that survive when farmers spray their fields with the company's Roundup brand weed-killer. The seeds dominate American agriculture, including in Indiana, where more than 90 percent of soybeans are "Roundup Ready."
Monsanto has attracted a bushel of researchers, universities and other agribusiness concerns to its side because they fear a decision in favor of Bowman would leave their own technological innovations open to poaching. The company's allies even include a company that is embroiled in a separate legal battle with Monsanto over one of the patents at issue in the Bowman case.
The Obama administration also backs Monsanto, having earlier urged the court to stay out of the case because of the potential for far-reaching implications for patents involving DNA molecules, nanotechnologies and other self-replicating technologies.
Monsanto's opponents argue that the company has tried to use patent law to control the supply of seeds for soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets and alfalfa. The result has been a dramatic rise in seed prices and reduced options for farmers, according to the Center for Food Safety. The group opposes the spread of genetically engineered crops and says their benefits have been grossly overstated.
"It has become extremely difficult for farmers to find high-quality conventional seeds," said Bill Freese, the center's science policy analyst.
Consumer groups and organic food producers have fought Monsanto over genetically engineered farm and food issues in several settings. They lost a campaign in California last year to require labels on most genetically engineered processed foods and produce. Monsanto and other food and chemical companies spent more than $40 million to defeat the ballot measure.
Monsanto says the success of its seeds is proof of their value. By and large, "farmers appreciate what we do," David Snively, Monsanto's top lawyer, said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Herbicide-resistant soybean seeds first hit the market in 1996. To protect its investment in their development, Monsanto has a policy that prohibits farmers from saving or reusing the seeds once the crop is grown. Farmers must buy new seeds every year.
Like almost every other farmer in Indiana. Bowman used the patented seeds for his main crop. But for a risky, late-season crop on his 300 acres in Sandborn, about 100 miles southwest of Indianapolis, Bowman said, "I wanted a cheap source of seed."
He couldn't reuse his own beans or buy seeds from other farmers who had similar agreements with Monsanto and other companies licensed to sell genetically engineered seeds. And dealers he used to buy cheap seed from no longer carry the unmodified seeds.
So Bowman found what looked like a loophole and went to a grain elevator that held soybeans it typically sells for feed, milling and other uses, but not as seed.
Bowman reasoned that most of those soybeans also would be resistant to weed killers, as they initially came from herbicide-resistant seeds too. He was right, and he repeated the practice over eight years.
He didn't try to keep it a secret from Monsanto, and in October 2007 the company sued him for violating its patent. Bowman's is one of 146 lawsuits Monsanto has filed since 1996 claiming unauthorized use of its Roundup Ready seeds, Snively said.
A federal court in Indiana sided with Monsanto and awarded the company $84,456 for Bowman's unlicensed use of Monsanto's technology. The federal appeals court in Washington that handles all appeals in patent cases upheld the award. The appeals court said farmers may never replant Roundup Ready seeds without running afoul of Monsanto's patents.
The Supreme Court will grapple with the limit of Monsanto's patent rights, whether they stop with the sale of the first crop of beans or extend to each new crop soybean farmers grow that has the gene modification that allows it to withstand the application of weed killer.
The company sees Bowman's actions as a threat both to its Roundup Ready line of seeds and to other innovations that could be easily and cheaply reproduced if they were not protected.
"This case really is about 21st century technologies," Snively said.
Bowman and his allies say Monsanto's legal claims amount to an effort to bully farmers.
The Center for Food Safety's Freese says Monsanto's biggest moneymaker is corn seed, which cannot be replanted.
"So seed-saving would have no impact on the majority of Monsanto's seed revenue," he said.
The case is Bowman v. Monsanto Co., 11-796.

Although planning the Thanksgiving dinner is always fun I have even more fun planning on how to enjoy all of the leftovers! I usually start with the turkey breast which is perfect for sandwiches and up first this year is this monstrous roast turkey sandwich inspired by the cobb salad with layers of lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, roast turkey and an egg. A cobb salad normally uses hard boiled eggs but I really could not resist going for a fried egg, sunny side up, for that amazing runny egg yolk! I have to say that this is one of the tastiest roast turkey sandwiches that I have had in a while! The only problem is how to get your mouth around it! 🙂
Just look at that gorgeous dripping runny egg yolk!
This sandwich is huge!
Sorry about all of the pictures, I just had way too much fun photographing this sandwich!
Roast Turkey Cobb Sandwich

- 2 slices bread (optionally lightly toasted)
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1/4 cup lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
- 1 tablespoon blue cheese
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- 2 ounces roast turkey
- Cook the bacon, fry the egg, assemble the sandwich and enjoy!

I had pushed the question the contest raised back and forth for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that it cannot be answered. My essay explains the line of thought that lead me to this conclusion. You find my submission on this website, title and abstract below.
At the Frontier of Knowledge
At any time, there are areas of science where we are standing at the frontier of knowledge, and can wonder whether we have reached a fundamental limit to human understanding. What is ultimately possible in physics? I will argue here that it is ultimately impossible to answer this question. For this, I will first distinguish three different reasons why the possibility of progress is doubted and offer examples for these cases. Based on this, one can then identify three reasons for why progress might indeed be impossible, and finally conclude that it is impossible to decide which case we are facing.

The Future Marriage of Virtual Currency and Mobile Payments in Canada
Canada isn't just ahead of the U.S. in its advancements in mobile payments, it's also laying the groundwork for the widespread adoption of virtual currencies as well. While cases involving Bitcoin and its regulation are still working their way through the U.S. courts, the Royal Canadian Mint is already developing its own virtual currency called MintChip.
Although there hasn't been a great deal of press about the Mint's efforts, it has held a developer contest for building apps for using the MintChip, and is planning to pilot it some time later this year.
Several companies that I've met with along the Canadian mobile payments tour that I'm participating in this week have mentioned Canadians' dislike for their real currency. Canadian currency has more coins than American currency, and nobody likes carrying around a ton of change. Over the last few years the average value of debit transactions has been falling as debit replaces cash for smaller transactions that would typically involve those coins. So it isn't inconceivable that an alternative digital currency could take hold in Canada in those smaller transactions.
[See Related: CIBC Expands Mobile Payments]
One of the companies that presented on the tour today, DonRiver, which provides a digital wallet for banks and telcos, said it is already looking into the combination of mobile payments and virtual currencies. For instance, the company can build Bitcoin acceptance into its mobile point of sale solution with an app that can scan a barcode generated on a consumer's phone, and then charge that consumer's Bitcoin account, Brent Ho-Young, DonRiver's managing director of its mobile and financial services practice, said.
With MintChip, the company can use the digital currency's API's and integrate them into its own mobile platform to enable virtual currency payments through its mobile wallet, Ho-Young added. DonRiver could also enable mobile remittances with virtual currency since its mobile platform is integrated with Western Union's IT infrastructure for mobile money transfers.
In anticipation of wider virtual currency adoption in Canada and elsewhere, DonRiver has developed its own virtual currency for its mobile financial services platform, which can hook into other digital currency platforms and exchanges, enabling these type of uses for virtual currency in mobile commerce, Ho-Young explained.
And just as the Royal Canadian Mint can export currency overseas, it can also provide its digital currency technology to other counties, Ho-Young pointed out. If mobile can provide relevant and convenient use cases for virtual currency in consumers' everyday lives -- like the examples above of virtual currency payments and transfers -- then it could provide a path for greater adoption of those currencies. And if that model is successful in Canada and the Royal Mint decides to export its MintChip technology, then maybe virtual currency could gain popularity in other countries as well.

You can't get more chocolate than this cheesecake: a chocolate-wafer crust, melted dark chocolate in the filling, and chocolate shards scattered over the top.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, stir together the chocolate wafer crumbs and 3 Tbs. granulated sugar. Mix in the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moist and clump together
slightly. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan and press evenly onto the bottom and about 2 inches up the sides of the pan (to press, use plastic wrap or a flat-bottom
measuring cup). Bake until the crust is fragrant and slightly darkened, 9 to 12 minutes. Let the pan cool on a rack. Lower the oven temperature to 300°F.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, melted dark chocolate, flour, and a pinch of table salt on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the
bowl and the paddle frequently, until very smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Make sure the cheese has no lumps. Add the 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar and continue beating until well
blended and smooth.
Add the vanilla and beat until blended, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs one at a time, beating just until blended. (Don't overbeat once the eggs have been added or the
cheesecake will puff too much and crack as it cools.) Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Bake at 300°F until the center jiggles like Jell-O when nudged, 55 to 65 minutes. The cake will be slightly puffed around the edges, and the center will still look moist. Set
on a rack and cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 8 hours and up to 3 days. The cake can also be frozen at this point for up to 1 month (see make-ahead
tip, below).
Unclasp and remove the side of the springform pan and run a long, thin metal spatula under the bottom crust. Carefully slide the cake onto a flat serving plate. Garnish with
chocolate shards and serve immediately. To cut, run a thin knife under hot water, wipe it dry, and cut the cake into slices, heating and wiping the knife after every slice.
To freeze, put the unmolded, cooled cake on a rimmed baking sheet in the freezer, uncovered, until the top is cold and firm; then wrap it in two layers of plastic and one layer of foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Hamburg, Arkansas
Timber. Oil. Deer Hunting. Bass fishing.
These are words commonly used when people talk about the Timberlands of Arkansas. It's a region with rich natural resources that was discovered by pioneers from the eastern United States in the early 1800s.
Cities such as El Dorado, Camden and Pine Bluff Arkansas were built when these newcomers, who were impressed with the regions dense woods of pine and cypress, decided to settle. In the 1920s, belief in their homeland paid off handsomely when oil was discovered in the El Dorado area.
The abundant natural resources of the Timberlands are still attracting people today. Each year, thousands of sportsmen descend upon Southern Arkansas to hunt deer in what is considered the best deer hunting region in the state. They also come in search of the lunker bass that reside in the area's legendary lakes and rivers.
Other visitors enjoy the legacy of those pioneers by visiting sites ranging from 1800s log cabins and restored Victorian homes to local museums and colorful murals that tell the history of this land.

Wit and Whimsy: The Photographs of Kenneth Josephson
Wit and Whimsy: The Photographs of Kenneth Josephson
Chicago artist Kenneth Josephson is best known for his witty images that explore the illusory nature of photography. In the 1960s, he was a pioneer in the genre of conceptual photography that questioned our tendency to accept the photographic image as "truth" and exposed the photographer's role as the manipulator of information. In one of his best known works, New York State 1970, the artist's arm and hand are seen holding the image of an ocean liner against a backdrop of ocean, making it clear that neither ocean nor ship are "real"—both are just recognizable images. In LA, he photographs his arm holding up a square of paper to frame a small, squiggly section of a painted white crosswalk, defining its curves as "art" as selected by the photographer, whose shadow can be seen in the corner of the image.
A native of Detroit, Josephson studied photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology and at the Illinois Institute of Technology with well-known photographers Harry Calahan and Aaron Siskind. He taught photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for 30 years. His work is included in museum collections worldwide, including the Figge Art Museum. The exhibition at the Figge will include classic images from Josephson's early work along with more recent investigations of the potential of the photographic image.
This exhibition will be on display October 17, 2015 - February 7, 2016.

Not-so-limited Kim
Should Kim just quit?
A bit ago, post review season, the following comment came in about how a mandate came from HR to slap "limited" on anyone who had been in their level too long:
Apparently some groups either didn't get the message or chose to ignore it. I have an email from HR indicating that EVERYONE with more than 30 months at level (regardless of level) MUST get a Limited eval. This is why they added "limited scenario 1" and "limited scenario 2".
Your group may have chosen to ignore the memo, but I know that many divisions didn't.
And I know that many senior 64s who got 0 stock award are sitting looking at Google and Amazon's help wanted ads.
Most folks called FUD on this. And without a smoking gun email from HR, there it died. Recently, I sat in a meeting with managers across the company and they were complaining fiercely about Scenario II for limited. Who-da-whatsa, Scenario II was for real? Okay, time to get off my lazy butt and actually revisit the contribution ranking review pages. Hmm. Sure enough. Outstanding / Strong / Limited was updated in the middle of the review season so that the original Limited, which seemed to match the word pretty well, had an additional branch added for people who had plateaued in their career at their current job salary level and were doing a fine job but were not expected to be promoted any further.
You're doing well. But you're limited. A... special kind of limited.
Whose bright idea was this? Isn't this a trended 3.0 all over again?
My question is: is this just a passive aggressive way to move on people from Microsoft with a vague hope that people in lower levels will fill their spot and perhaps achieve more?
Imagine you're a manager and one of your reports is Kim. Kim is a solid report, doing exactly what you need, very professional, integrated well into Microsoft. Someone you can depend on and an integral part of the infrastructure to your team. Maybe Kim is reached Level 63, 64. You realize that you could probably push to get Kim promoted to the next level, but most likely Kim would get murdered come the next review time. So Kim is going to stay in their current level, probably for the remainder of their long career.
Microsoft has invested a lot in building Kim up to this solid contributor point.
Thing is, come review time, once Kim has been at their level for a while, you're going to have to slap a "limited" on Kim. Does Kim see this coming? Does Kim buy into this "limited" designation with little awarded stock (as in zero)? I can tell you, if I was a 62 or 63 and a solid contributor to the team like Kim and I was slapped with a "limited" I would be heading for the door, patting my right buttock along the way as a firm kissing spot for my boss. If Kim stays with the team, most likely they are not going to be putting in the big effort for the team (why should they - they've been put in a box: unpromotable). Maybe you think this "Limited Scenario II" slap would fire Kim up and get them to prove that they can earn and perform at the next level. I doubt it. I don't see too many people on the internal HR blog happily fired-up about their limited appraisal.
I think it's fine to ensure someone realizes they have, in your leadership's opinion, topped out. But are they limited? Because I can tell you, once you tell them they are, they no doubt will perform like it. Or leave. And I wouldn't want my solid Kim to go in either direction. Shouldn't there be an expectation that if you reach a nice level like 63 and keep performing at that level that you should get reasonable compensation and rewards? Maybe we just need a new designation below Strong: Solid. Or a scale, given that many of these designations are already broken into sub-levels anyway. What do you think?
Another thing about this whole Scenario II thing: my (obviously enlightened) group didn't buy into it. If they did, there would have been a lot more limiteds being handed out. Which brings up another issue with our new review system: now that the training wheels are off, groups roll-up some wildly different ways of spreading out the reviews. Some do in fact bring back their own curve with respect to commitment ratings. Others vigorously pursue Scenario II. I'm pretty sure the goal was to be honest about how a person is doing against their CSP and their commitments, but this is being dampened in some teams.
Other going ons:
- Microsoft Shareholders Meeting 2006: did you go or listen to the webcast? What did you think?
- What exactly is MSFT's dividend strategy? from MSFTExtremeMakeover. Again, Microsoft gets advice over and over again that to invigorate the stock for consistent growth, Microsoft needs to increase the dividend to a respectable level.
- Delegated to the Dustbin of History by Collision Domain talks about management at Microsoft, especially focusing on micromanagement vs. delegation.
- Generally positive reactions came in around the Microsoft Academy post. What I found interesting are the stories people shared of other companies who did something similar to ensure they had a high quality workforce.
- do companies still "hire on potential"? from Gretchen over at JobsBlog discusses ready-to-start-talent vs. potential to grow.
- MiniMSFT on hiring from Jenna discusses apprentice training those perhaps born-developers (or PMs, or such) for Microsoft FTEs.
- With so many releases I keep on thinking of that Thanksgiving cornucopia decoration, with Vista and Office boxes and Zunes and 360 games spilling out, along with a lot bags of cash with "To Novel, love Microsoft" written on them. Looks like in return Watson should be reporting lots of interesting data to the Zune team. Maybe we'll figure out a way, as a company, to dogfood major strategic devices - and their support software - one day.
Administrivia: boy, things (and by "things" I mean "servers") are up and down in Google's Blogger land. I assume this is because the underpinning BlogSpot infrastructure is getting replaced. The good news is that there should be a comment feed for posts one day. The bad news is that there are probably many 500 errors between now and then.
Update: corrected title, almost a year after posting and see it was "No-so-limited Kim" vs my intended title of "Not-so-limited Kim" - oy!

Nazarbaev Regime's Human Rights Abuse Record
Pitted Against Criminal Accusation
Washington – United States Helsinki Commission Co-Chairman Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-NJ) today expressed deep suspicion of the charge brought against one of Kazakhstan's best known opposition journalists, Sergei Duvanov, whom Kazakh authorities on Monday accused of rape.
"Sergei Duvanov has gained a reputation as Kazakhstan's journalistic conscience, who reports on human rights abuses and misdeeds by President Nursultan Nazarbaev's authoritarian regime at personal risk," Smith said. "There are good reasons to suspect this charge is politically motivated. I fear this latest accusation represents the Nazarbaev regime's desire to silence one of its leading critics."
"On the very day Sergei Duvanov was detained, he was preparing to leave for Washington to deliver public addresses on the deteriorating situation in Kazakhstan," Smith added. "He may be paying the price again for his candor. The Helsinki Commission and the international community will be following this case closely."
Duvanov is the editor-in-chief of The Bulletin published by the Kazakhstan International Bureau for Human Rights and Rule of Law. Kazakh authorities accuse him of raping a 14-year-old girl who visited his dacha along with two neighbors. Duvanov told his lawyers that he was drugged by an unknown substance in tea he drank, lost consciousness and remembers only being awakened by the police.
Duvanov was charged in July with "insulting the honor and dignity of the president" after publishing an article about the ongoing international investigation into corruption on the highest level in Kazakhstan. In August, he was attacked by three men in his apartment building who warned him not to continue writing muckraking articles or he would be "crippled."
Kazakhstan's record of media freedom began tumbling downhill in the mid-1990s, as President Nazarbaev consolidated his power, eliminated rivals and tightened his grip on all branches of power.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists included Nazarbaev on its list of "Ten Worst Enemies of the Press" in May 2000. In the last year, the situation has deteriorated drastically. Opposition journalists have been assaulted and their newspapers attacked and fined. The daughter of opposition editor Lira Baseitova died in police custody in May. Another editor found a decapitated dog on her doorstep, with a warning to desist from writing articles critical of the regime.
"Considering how Nazarbaev's regime has brazenly flouted its OSCE commitments on democratization and crushed freedom of the press, any criminal charges against Kazakhstan's independent and opposition journalists should be treated with the greatest skepticism," Smith said. "It is not enough for Kazakhstan's law enforcement agencies – which are controlled by President Nazarbaev – to assert Duvanov's guilt. Independent experts, preferably foreign specialists experienced in handling DNA evidence, should be involved in this investigation."
Co-Chairman Smith is the author of House Concurrent Resolution 422 expressing the sense of Congress over Kazakhstan's deteriorating human rights conditions.

Flora Udo's Choice Super 5 Lozenge Probiotic 60 Lozenges
Flora Udo's Choice Super 5 Lozenge Probiotic - 60 Lozenges
Flora Udo's Choice Super 5 Lozenge Probiotic 60 Lozenges is formulated to improve oral health and protect against inflammation and bad breath. The digestive tract begins in the mouth, where probiotics begin helping the body protect itself from disease-causing bacteria. Unhealthy organisms in the mouth can cause thrush, gum conditions, tooth decay, inflamed mouth tissue, and bad breath. In order for probiotics to implant and be effective, they must come into direct contact with the mouth, teeth, gums and throat. The Super 5 Lozenge is a delicious way to introduce probiotics - in particular, L. salivarius, which is not commonly found in supplements - precisely where they are needed. Dissolving a lozenge in the mouth after a meal lets the warmth and moisture in the mouth go to work and help these good bacteria multiply and proliferate. Super 5 Lozenge is specifically designed for localized support and proper bacterial balance, facilitating overall oral health.
- Fights the bacteria that cause bad breath
- Provides healthy bacteria that enhance an oral regimen designed to help prevent gum conditions and tooth decay
- Protects against thrush
- Unique raspberry-flavoured lozenge format
About Flora
At Flora, they have been manufacturing and supplying premium herbal products since 1965, but their roots stretch back to Germany in the early 1900s, where Dr. Otto Greither, grandfather of the current owner Thomas Greither, dedicated his life to the discovery, production and distribution of natural health care products. Flora has preserved his original dedication to perfect and make available herbal remedies that ensure maximum purity, quality and potency with a holistic approach to health.
Flora Mission
In God We Trust
The mission of Flora is to participate in the continuing evolution of the people on Earth toward universal harmony, peace and perfection by providing products and services for the purification and upliftment of the body and spirit, and by providing to each person who derives a livelihood with Flora, an opportunity for personal growth and advancement of these goals in life.
In 1965, Flora began its North American operations in Burnaby, British Columbia, and is currently owned by natural health visionary Thomas Greither. Originally, Thomas ran a natural foods store in Burlington, Vermont, and it was his dream to produce and provide consumers with the finest health products available.
In its early stages, Flora served primarily as a centre for distributing and marketing European herbal remedies. At that time, alternative health products were virtually unknown in Canada. As interest grew, Flora began manufacturing natural bulk laxatives and its own line of herbal therapeutic teas. These teas were the first of their kind to be prepared in Canada and their popularity soon blossomed.
In 1986, Flora resumed its role as a pioneer when it produced the first truly cold-pressed, unrefined oils for medicinal use or food preparation. A unique manufacturing method eliminates any light or oxygen and allows the enzymes in the seed matter to be processed at body temperature and the essential fatty acids to remain active.
In 1988, Flora expanded into the U.S., opening a manufacturing facility in Lynden, Washington. The company also acquired several acres of farmland in order to grow its own organic herbs. All stages of production are done in-house in Burnaby and Lynden, from selecting and lab testing all raw materials to herb extraction, encapsulation and final packaging.
In June of 1992, in cooperation with Elaine Alexander, the company began preparing and distributing the remarkable herbal formula known as Flor•Essence™. Its popular effect in exerting a positive influence on a host of chronic conditions has rapidly spread throughout the health community and is revered by people everywhere for its life-rejuvenating benefits. Flora also launched a foundational line of health products under the Udo's Choice™ label including the first age-specific probiotics and vegetarian DHA.
Today, Flora continues its innovation in product development and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices.
Premium Quality
Flora has evolved into one of North America's premier natural health products companies. The U.S. and Canadian production plants include sophisticated semi-automatic and fully automatic equipment for processing quality herbal teas and liquid tonics, encapsulating herbal extracts and cold-pressing certified organic seeds into health-benefitting oils. Flora's ongoing research and development has resulted in a number of production methods which are the finest in the world.
All of Flora's products are manufactured in accordance with GMP standards and the facilities and manufacturing procedures are in compliance with all regulatory agencies in Canada and the United States, including Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, Flora is a certified organic producer and processor overseen by the third-party certifying agency, Quality Assurance International, (QAI). This means that the organic herbal remedies prepared and distributed by Flora are guaranteed top quality and chemical free, right from the seed that is planted to the harvest and from the post-harvest facilities to the final production and packing.
Thomas Greither is dedicated to preserving the environment and in utilizing production and packaging practices that are ecologically sound, including vegetarian capsules for all the dry herbal extracts and environmentally friendly amber glass bottles for the herbal tonics and organic oils.
Flora has been honoured with numerous awards and continually strives to remain a leader in the field of natural health by remaining committed to its mandate of offering only supreme quality formulas.
Flora Farms
Flora grows most of its own herbs on farms in Washington and Chile and purchases the rest through fair trade practices from organic farmers. "We are one of the very few companies who actually grow our own herbs," says Thomas Greither. "If we buy from another farm, we know what seed they used, and we always receive the herbs in the whole form. You can tell if it was dried properly and handled properly. Most companies buy them powdered. We have a whole grinding department. Each herb needs a different cutting mechanism, and we cut them just before manufacturing. With essential herbs, if I grind them a half a year before manufacturing, that would not be as effective. Sometimes the industry gets a bad name because of the use of these dried herbs. Essential oils oxidize out of the product. For example, in our teas, we have a special vapour moisture barrier so the essential oils from the product can't evaporate; it preserves freshness."
The certified organic farm in Chile lies on 1500 acres of land that has never been intensively farmed, and was thoroughly tested before cultivation began to ensure it was free of pollutants such as chemical fertilizers. The farm is set in a pristine paradise cut off by the deserts in the north, the waters of the Antarctic in the south, the Andes (with a height of 5,500 metres) in the east and the Pacific Ocean in the west. This natural enclosing wall protects from plant diseases and insects, and there are no city exhaust fumes or sources of industrial pollution for many kilometres.
Today, approximately 100 different raw materials are supplied here, from more than 80 plant species. Once harvested, the plants are dried using the world's most advanced eco-friendly solar dryers.
Flora also distributes products for our close manufacturing partners who have the same high standards and are dedicated to preparing supreme quality, well-researched and tested remedies to provide for you and your family. We have the great privilege of working together within a global health community to both manufacture and distribute our own products as well as distribute herbal preparations of other leading companies.
Udo's Choice
Udo Erasmus is an international authority on fats, oils, cholesterol and human health.
Udo received his B.Sc. in Honours Zoology from the University of British Columbia and followed this with graduate studies in Biochemistry and Genetics. In 1980, his life took a significant turn when he was poisoned by pesticides. When conventional medicine was unable to provide help, he concluded that his health was his own responsibility and turned his attention to nutrition. Several years of research culminated in his bestselling book, Fats that Heal Fats that Kill, which earned him a Ph.D. in Nutrition.
In 1983, he began to pioneer technology for pressing and packaging edible, fresh oils made with health in mind, by excluding the three main factors that transform nutritious oils into toxic ones – light, heat and oxygen. Until that time, oils were highly processed by destructive methods, sacrificing health benefits in order to attain longer shelf life.
Over the past fifteen years, he has appeared on nationally syndicated radio and television shows and has given thousands of media interviews and lectures, educating audiences around the world on the components of good health. Presently, Udo continues to develop steps towards optimum health and to work on his next book.
