Hey World – Have You Met ReportBuilder?
In today's blog post I wanted to discuss reporting and highlight a few of the features in our ReportBuilder Tool. While many of our readers are ReportBuilder experts I still get frequent questions on the topic so I figured it was worth covering a few of the features I find most valuable.
ReportBuilder is used to pull SiteCatalyst data into excel so that it can be further analyzed, manipulated, and reported on. Often ReportBuilder is thought of as just a dashboarding tool. However, I rarely perform analysis for clients in SiteCatalyst, but rather pull the data into excel so I can better analyze and apply statistical models to the data. If you're not using ReportBuilder in your daily job, it may be time to start.
Quick Intro to ReportBuilder
I'm not going to give a step by step of how to use every feature in ReportBuilder so here is my over-simplified version of how ReportBuilder works:
Let's Dive Deeper
Now that we've covered the basics let's talk about some of the lesser known and more advanced features of ReportBuilder that will help in your analysis and reporting. Although there are many cool things that you can do with ReportBuilder, I've chosen three.
Cool thing #1: Multilevel breakdowns are available on classifications.
In SiteCatalyst when breaking down an eVar or eVar classification you are limited to a two-level breakdown.
Imagine you're the Display marketing guru at your company and are running multiple display campaigns across multiple placements. If you need to pull a report that shows Marketing Channel (display) broken down by Ad Name (skiing specials) and then broken down by Ad Placement, you won't be able to do this in SiteCatalyst.
SiteCatalyst only provides one level breakdowns on eVars and classifications.
ReportBuilder, however, allows you to pull multiple level breakdowns on classifications. To do this I first chose campaign> Marketing Channel in step one of the wizard.
In step two of the wizard I clicked the Dimensions tab and dragged over Display Ad Name and Display Placement (these are classification columns).
Cool thing #2: Matching
In ReportBuilder you can pull a data set (example: top 15 articles) for a specific time period then return results for that same data set for a different date range.
This is useful if you want to build a "Movers and Shakers" report. A "Movers and Shakers" report just shows which keywords, articles, etc… had the biggest increase or decrease in traffic over a given time period.
On step 2 you just need to select your metric and the insert location. The result will be a report similar to the one below. You can then apply different formulas to sort and rank by greatest percent change.
Cool thing #3: Segmentation
Just like segmentation is available in SiteCatalyst 15, it is now available in the newest version of ReportBuilder. This is great for clients that want to report on their top KPIs for multiple segments. Imagine creating a KPI dashboard for each of your customer segments without needing to do correlations and subrelations. You can create one KPI dashboard and copy it for each segment.
The process for adding a segment is straightforward. On step one of the Request Wizard you will find a dropdown for segments.
These segments need to be created in SiteCatalyst first. If you are logged into ReportBuilder when the segment is created you will need logout and log back in before the segment will become available.
As a bonus tip (I know you wanted one more), if you create a segment in the SaintCatalyst interface it will be available to just you and for a specific report suite. If you create that segment in the SiteCatalyst Admin console it will be available to all users for a specific report suite. However, if you create the segment in Discover and put it in a shared folder it will be available to all users for all report suites.
Good luck with your analysis using this great tool from Adobe!

Photo or tape the harm, at that point find a way to shield your property from additionally harm. In the event that conceivable, abstain from tossing out harmed things until the point when the agent has gone to your home.

Keep receipts and records of any extra costs you bring about. Numerous mortgage holders' approaches cover things like extra everyday costs, except they should see evidence of those expenses. On the off chance that you have any inquiries regarding documenting your claim, make a point to inquire! Your protection specialist will be cheerful to help. What's more, recall, once you and your insurance agency concur on the terms of a settlement, the installment will be sent expeditiously. State laws require it.

It's the Valentine month, so I have brought out my sweet heart red Rogers Londoner V set to show our readers this month. It's a drum set any Not So Modern Drummer could love. Rogers drums are without a doubt some of the best drums that were ever made. This set was made as the great Rogers history was coming to an end, but the quality and craftsmanship are clearly evident in these beautiful drums. Not only do they look great, but they also sound great too. It's hard to find a Rogers set that doesn't. It is no secret that I am partial to Rogers drums. I often say they were the "DWs" of my younger days. I enjoy collecting all makes of vintage drums, but Rogers drums have a special place in my heart. I love the history of the Rogers drum company as well as the quality innovative products they built. The people that worked for Rogers were a special kind, and I salute them for their great work.
I enjoy going on the Rogers Facebook pages to see the Rogers owners' drums and reading the discussions there. One of the guys I like to question there is Jack McFeeters. I hope he doesn't mind me mentioning his name in this article. He is affectionately called the Ploughman by many of the members of the group. I don't know all the reasons behind his nickname, but I feel sure it has to do with his common hardworking appearance, and his common sense wisdom. He is so well thought of by the group that we recently joined together and raised the money to purchase him a beautiful wood shell Rogers Dyna Sonic snare drum. It is clearly evident that folks think a lot of someone when they will do something like that.
I showed Jack a photo of one of the drums from this set and asked him to give me some comments I could use in this article. His comments were; "Five ply, maple birch. Color, Mohave Red, #84. 1976 Catalog shows this color in the Studio Ten Outfit, pg4. This drum made approximately 1978, Top hoop not correct. Memriloc hardware was developed through a collaboration with Dave Donoho and Roy Burns, and Rogers, of course mid 70s. Mounts are rock solid, stand up to the heaviest of hitters. Well made drums even though there were numerous moves during the Big R period, some of them very unnecessary, and quality at times affected by this. The hardware was about the best one could have at the time."
Jack mentioned the great Memriloc hardware on this drum set. The hardware changed on the Londoner V set from Swiv-o-matic to Memriloc in 1976. Rogers has always set the pace with their hardware. While the other drum companies offered antiquated mounts, Rogers offered Swiv-o-matic mounts that were light years ahead of their competition. As soon as the other companies were trying to catch up, Rogers developed the Memriloc hardware which was a giant leap forward in accommodating the hard hitting rockers. The sizes of this Londoner V kit are; bass drum 14X22, floor tom 16X16, mounted toms are 13X9, and 8X12. The Chrome Dyna Sonic is a 14X5. The badges are the foil Big R badges introduced in 1976.
I was fortunate to buy this set from my collector friend Mike Gray. He along with Dave Clark influenced me to start loving Rogers drums. Mike and I played drums together in the high school band days. I told him a few years ago I really loved his Rogers drum set he always played at dances when we were in school. He confessed to me that the kit I was talking about was not a Rogers set. They were actually a foreign stencil set that was a copy of the American made Rogers drums. Mike had Rogers drums later, and has a script badge black Londoner V set now, but the set I always thought were Rogers turned out to be MIJs. I don't have a good eye like Jack who spotted an incorrect hoop on my set. Now I've got to get a correct hoop. Anyway, that's part of the fun in collecting.

This time of year always get's my brain moving. The sun is shining, the weather is getting warmer and seemingly on schedule, my ability to motivate myself to do more becomes easier and easier. As a therapist, I know that - it is very rarely that things happen "out of no where" - which makes me think about the reasons for the seemingly sudden jolt to my energy level?
I tell my clients (and in turn myself) change one thing. When you're feeling stuck, when you're not sure what direction to take - change one thing. No matter how large, or how small - shake up your routine and see where this takes you. Our brains get into patterns of behavior, which influences our patterns of thought, which leads to patterns of feelings (you can read that in reverse and also be reading a true statement, our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are incredibly influential upon each other no matter in what combination, or pattern they're looked at) So shake it up and see what happens.
Take a different route to and from work
Do your grocery shopping on a different day, at a different time
Eliminate the phone use after 6pm
(I give these examples because ALL of these I myself have tried over the last several weeks)
Small shifts to our daily routine can help influence big change in the long run. What do you think is changeable about your day to day?

SoulPath Art: Be Your Own Reflection
Are you weighed down with the heaviness of expectations from others, or are you filled with the lightness of your self?
I was asked to draw an intuitive drawing of a situation involving family dynamics. This drawing is the story of a little girl who is constantly put between her parents who are divorced.
In this drawing we see a child facing the moon and a funny little mushroomy figure. Her upright posture and dark blue around the head suggest being hyper-observant since she was in the womb (the light blue circle).
She watches the adults around her, and knows what they need to feel happy. And so she chooses to reflect what they want, to become the roles that they require. The adults in her life confide in her as if she were an adult, tell her things that are beyond her concerns as a child. Just as the moon reflects the sun's light, she is not radiating her true desires. This creates a heaviness/weightedness in her body. Even though the head is upright, the body appears doughy and inert. This little girl has been having trouble sleeping...which is why the moon is so bright in the drawing. Her night-times keep her too awake. (I suggest this is another explanation for her body's heaviness....without proper sleep, cells can't regenerate and our body can retain water).
None of this is done with the intention to hurt her, but the reality is that the adults' selfish desires are affecting her development. If she ever chooses to break out of her "womb" and STOP being a reflection for others, STOP pleasing others, this will be a positive step forward. She will be able to access her true wisdom which comes from her gift of observation (the purple and blue in the mushroom---purple is her favorite color). The mushroom represents her authentic self, outside of the reflection.
The social environment of her family has caused her to people-please at the expense of her growth. Look how small the mushroomy figure, how small the "authentic self." With the conflicting limitations from her parents and others dictating how she should act, how will she learn to value her own wishes, desires, and self?
If you're a parent, please remember that your kids are on their own path. They're not here for your emotional needs. Just like you, they are here to fulfill their life purpose on their own terms.

The newly adapted Thomas Hardy novel, Far From the Madding Crowd, came to theaters two months ago. Directed by Thomas Vinterberg and starring Carey Mulligan (Bathsheba Everdene), Matthias Schoenaerts (Mr. Gabriel Oak), and Tom Sturridge (Sergeant Francis Troy).
Written in 1874, this book exemplifies a feminist text with a strong female protagonist who is in a unique position of owning a business, estate, life and all without a husband by her side. Three different men vie for her attention. As a Victorian woman, she is able to choose a romantic attachment without anyone's opinion. Her father and any living male relative has passed away and her choices are entirely her own.
- Where did this film take me? To a romantic and rustic country side. Unlike Jane Austen's novels which used the countryside as a stark contrast to a bustling London city and the gossipers at bath, this film is truly a breath of fresh air. No mention of the city, no gossip, just pure small time England living. What makes this film particularly unique is that the protagonist is not only female, but she is in control of her choices, mind, and life. Uninfluenced by any male character, and willing to stand up for her beliefs, Bathesheda (Carry) inherits a farm and builds a stable business. As an entrepreneur she forces the county to accept and respect her as an equal individual. She challenges male authority without overstepping her feminine boundaries and carefully navigates her way into a position of respect.
How did this make me feel? There were moments of sadness, happiness, romance, and humour. The film was paced in a way that balanced all the emotions together. If you are familiar with Thomas Hardy's work, you can emotionally prepare yourself for a story filled with unrequited love, blossoming friendships, love triangles, and couples that get together at the very last second. Most Hardy stories are also difficult to swallow at times. In Far From the Madding Crowd, the primary example that sticks out is the death of all the sheep at the beginning. Mr. Oak, saddened by the loss of his fortune, herd, potential eligibility to marry Bathesheda, and livelihood, shoots the dog responsible for sending the sheep over the cliff. At the same time, Bathesheda loses her uncle and inherits a fortune. The tables have turned completely. Once a poor farm girl, though charming and beautiful and educated, now she an heiress and eligible to make a solid match in the country. Mr. Oak's chances of marriage plumate and he becomes her shepard, unable to buy her the piano she wanted. Hardy is also good at writing in realistic characters that are both frustrating, and prone to erroring. However, the usual male judgement that is present in most Victorian novels and stories was absent. "I know I did something I thought I would never do. I married a red coat and I believe I made a mistake. And I don't want your opinion," Bathesheda to Gabriel Oak in observation of her drunk husband. The protagonist is able to discover her feelings in an unadulterated world. Jane Austen's Anne Elliot (Persuasion, 1814) made two impactful errors in her early twenties: one is allowing someone to give her an opinion, and the other was to take the advice of her friend and ignore her true feelings. Gabriel Oak wanted to leave the farm much earlier, but stuck to Bathesheda's side out of protection of her estate and fortune when she married. She did not ask or want his judgement, knowing full well she had chosen a poor match. BUT it was clear how grateful she was of his attachment. This made me feel that finally I can relate to a woman in a lead position who is strong, educated, and NORMAL. Thank you Vinterberg for preserving this uniqueness in a Hardy text.
Did it help me understand a new world better? It was not so much a new world, but a way of life I believe in was finally realized on screen. A world that exists but is constantly ignored or romanticized on screen. Far From the Madding Crowd is a normal female fantasy come true: a woman decides her own destiny and supports her own life. This does not mean she is without a heart or feelings, and that she is not interested in marriage. It just means she doesn't "have" to get married to make something of herself.
Did the movie deliver fun and surprises? The biggest surprise and gratification came in the scriptwriting and Carry Mulligan's exception performance. One part in particular really epitomizes this film for me at the forefront of feminism and celebrating strong females onscreen. When Bathesheda visits WIlliam Boldwood (Michael Sean) for the second time to hear his marriage proposal, he demands that she chose what she feels for him at that moment.
"Well is it respect or like?" William Boldwood. "It is hard to express myself in language constructed by men to express their emotions," Bathesheda.
She asserts her dominance and equality and sets the stakes high. She will not be defined or controlled. She even tells Mr. Oak at the beginning he would never be able to tame her. She is an uncontrollable force. This was the biggest surprise and the most fun and enjoyment I have had at a movie in a long time.
5. Did the characters have a transformative experience and / or did I? I think the main character has a very simple transformative experience. She finally realizes her true feelings and is able to express them. The film is after all an outward expression of an inner self. What is said through dialogue becomes less important than what is NOT said. Bathesheda tells Mr. Oak her issues but clarifies by saying, "And I don't want your opinion." We never hear what Mr. Oak actually has to say and this is the tension that mounts and builds throughout the narrative. We are never even truly relieved of this tension at the end as Bathesheda still dictates the drama.
Overall I think this film is unique, strongly feminist while honouring the historical drama genre. The adaptation of Hardy's novel was extremely well done and had me smiling throughout. IF you have NOT read a Hardy text you are in for a treat. Do not fret, for things do seem unbearably bleak at the best of times. Hardy always pulls through and gives you the satisfaction you deserve. Also a good read: The Guardian: Far From the Madding Crowd.

Immigration and Ethnic Change in Low-Fertility Countries – Towards a New Demographic Transition?
David A. Coleman, University of Oxford
Sergei Scherbov, Vienna Institute of Demography
This paper presents a comparative analysis of the likely future effects of immigration on the ethnic or foreign-origin composition of the developed world, using projections from European countries and the US, with new projections for the United Kingdom. On conservative assumptions, the foreign-origin proportions rise to between 18 and 33% by mid-century with almost linear rates of change. Variant migration assumptions are more important than fertility assumptions. Interethnic unions, incorporated only in the UK projections, reduce the size of low-fertility immigrant populations while generating complex rapidly growing mixed origin populations which may defy categorisation. The rapid growth of non-Western minorities in many receiving countries, allied to the persistent desire for arranged marriage among some groups, indicates that marriage migration will underwrite future immigration flows for some time. Finally a model under development will show the likely political consequences of inflows, employing data on voting entitlements and propensities of immigrant-origin populations.

VA Pension Eligibility
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) manages two disability benefits programs: disability compensation and pensions. Both programs provide tax-free monthly payments to qualifying veterans. But, there are different eligibility requirements. This article concerns non-service-connected VA pension benefits. What is a VA Pension? The VA pension was created to compensate disabled or elderly veterans who volunteered to serve their country during a time of war. How is Eligibility Determined? Benefits are awarded after three requirements are satisfied: 1. Wartime service.

The tricky thing about boundaries is that today's may look different than tomorrow's, and it's having confidence in your own inner guidance that allows your boundaries to be both firm and flexible. Experience teaches, and I wrote this item on my love list with the intention of inviting a partner who was committed to learning about himself. One of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves is a curiosity about who we are and how we desire to move forward to become the next, best version of ourselves.Firmly saying, "today, I know this and today, I am this," while remaining open to throwing out today's belief in favor of new, wiser ones that serves you better is a growth mindset and is the art of living fully.Invite yourself to examine your own boundaries.

Body Composition and gait speed./
"In older adults, every 0.1-m/s slower gait speed is associated with a 12% higher mortality. However, little research has identified risk factors for gait-speed decline."
Reduction in activity, particularly challenging difficult activity, stuff that asks a little more from you, the typical stuff that the elderly do not wish to engage in, is a bigger piece to their gait and movement decline that they likely think.
Conclusions: "High and increasing thigh intermuscular fat are important predictors of gait-speed decline, implying that fat infiltration into muscle contributes to a loss of mobility with age. Conversely, a decreasing thigh muscle area is also predictive of a decline in gait speed."
Am J Clin Nutr. 2013 Mar;97(3):552-60. doi: 10.3945/ajcn.112.047860. Epub 2013 Jan 30.

United Technologies Corp. (UTX - Get Report) is said to be nearing a deal to purchase Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL) for over $20 billion and could reach an agreement as soon as this weekend, the Wall Street Journal reported.
United is considering a payment of no more than $140 per share for Rockwell, which would imply a 9.4% premium over Rockwell's Monday closing price of $127.99. That would put Rockwell at a market value of $20.8 billion and create one of the world's largest aircraft equipment manufacturers.
United stock traded up 1.2% and Rockwell up 1.7% late Tuesday morning.
Cramer talks about why a United Technologies-Rockwell Collins deal makes sense.

A too tight attachment of the tongue to the floor of the mouth can interfere with breastfeeding or the ability to suck on any nipple. A cleft palate or a small jaw can also create problems, but at least a tongue tie can be relieved by a quick, easy procedure clipping the attachment, called the frenulum.
These babies often are unable to touch the roof of their mouth with their tongues or they don't extend beyond the gum line. The tongue can even have an abnormal shape. But occasionally the defect is difficult for a mother to detect, but she may be experiencing nipple pain or breastfeeding may be prolonged or ineffective, with the baby not latching on well. Hopefully, the lactation consultant or an examining physician will recognize or suspect the problem.
Dr. Erik Bauer, an Atlanta pediatric ENT references several studies*showing the procedure's overwhelming success (92-96% improvement) with most of the mother's able to continue to breastfeed at 3-4 months of age. Feeding time decreased and difficulty feeding diminished dramatically. Of note, the infant's of mothers who had nipple pain improved the most in the one study that assessed that feature.**

How This Journey BEGAN
So how did this journey begin? Over a year ago, the love of kickboxing brought the dread of Athlete's Foot. All the over the counter remedies really didn't work. They dried out your feet, and once your foot got wet again, poof, Athlete's Foot returned. We looked online for herbal remedies and found interesting facts about tea tree essential oil. Now, as an essential oil, you can't say it "cures" anything, but the evidence of it greatly helping was there. So we got some high-quality tea tree essential oil. It burned, like crazy. Apparently, tea tree oil is extremely concentrated and needs a carrier oil. Research continued and we found other ingredients to not only get rid of Athlete's Foot but soften and heal the entire foot.
Around that time, my hubby sent me an article about jock itch and remedies for curing it. What surprised me the most was the number of men making comments about crotch-related maladies. I learned about swamp crotch, jock itch, irritation, inflammation, low libido, sweaty balls, unpleasant odor, and more. I thought with all these guys talking about this, why isn't there something to help. Something besides chemicals, which more than not cause more harm than good with harmful side-effects.
So the journey began. I began researching essential oils and their benefits. I found some great essential oils to combine with our amazing NetherCream Original product.
Then menopause hit. Night sweats, boob sweat, odor from weird places. I didn't even want to go to work, I was so embarrassed. Trips to the doctor didn't procure any solution. Web searches came up with not very helpful information. It was bad. Then, one random search at the bottom of a random page mentioned Argan oil. I was shocked to learn this wonderful product is super expensive. $38 for 3 ounces!
So I put on my creator hat and began creating a perfect mixture for boob sweat and odor. Not only did I find something which worked immediately, my stretch marks are gone. Wow, you say, can you prove NetherCream for Women got rid of stretch marks? Well, I had them and after months of using NetherCream for Women, they are gone. Might just be a coincidence.
Our goal in this venture is to provide remedies that work for problems people don't want to talk about. So if you have boob sweat or under boob odor, jock itch, sweaty balls, sweaty feet, stinky feet, places where you chafe or rub, not in a good way, we have a solution for you!
If you simply want to pamper special parts of you, we've got you covered, literally. If you are confused on which thickness to get, order a Starter Kit. Don't know if it will work for you, order a Trial Size. Ready to full-on love you, order the Full Size! Whatever you do, take care of you, all of you

Happy #DapperMonday! I hope you all had a great Easter holiday and wore your Sunday's best to church. I know you are wondering what I wore, but we're going to have to wait for next week before I share the outfit details. Instead, this week I want to introduce the Coffee Shop Series – a little change of pace where I will be hanging out with menswear influencers at the best hidden gem coffee shops in the NY area to share tips, tricks and threads.
Today's post is a collaboration with my man Rob Mangano (@dressedtoill). We met up Cafe Pedlar in Cobble Hill where we munched on some pastries, sipped on some coffee and talked over our Spring 2015 fashion plans before roaming around the Cobble Hill to check out some of the area's unique menswear shops like Brooklyn Circus (@bkcircus).
As for my outfit, I switched it up with my favorite new piece, a double breasted blazer from a collaboration with my tailor Cesar Renuan. And, with the weather starting to warm up, I decided to layer it with a quilted vest instead of a top coat. Per usual, the Pharrell hat made an appearance. It just had to happen.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the new double breasted blazer and go check out @dressedtoill and Cafe Pedlar !!
Thank you for reading and Let Your Voice Be Heard Below!!

Triathlon tops, or singlets, are a useful part of a triathlon wardrobe. A good tri top feels great during the race and is easy-to-use in the transitions. Sure, you can just wear a t-shirt, but there are some disadvantages which we cover below.
The best triathlon tops are made by the same makers of other quality triathlon gear, such as triathlon shorts or suits. We recommend sticking with these brands, because they have invested in researching and designing gear that is sport-specific. The last thing we want you to do is be stuck with a shirt that wasn't really made for triathlon — that could actually end up being a liability.
Here are our 5 favorite triathlon singlets on the market right now.
Pearl Izumi Elite Singlet
We like everything we use from Pearl Izumi, and this tri singlet is no different. Like many of the tops listed, it is made of a nylon / elastane blend which gives the top a form-fitting feel while still being breathable. The flat lock stitching is noticeably smooth against the skin, something that PI has been doing well in their garments for years.
A 10 inch zipper provides for a large neck hole and venting on the run. It comes in a couple colors, and PI says it is ideal for temps of 70 to 100 degrees F, making it an excellent choice for those hot summer races. Find it here.
Sugoi RPM Tri Tank
Perhaps the gold standard of tri tops in our opinion, the Sugoi is a quality product and you can feel the excellent construction as soon as you put it on. Breathable, moisture-wicking fabric is supplemented by mesh vents on either side, nice for those longer races or warmer days. Like many of the others, Sugoi has two rear pockets for your fuel, and we like that the back of the shirt goes down a bit further than the front. This provide nice coverage on the bike leg when you are in a more aggressive posture.
An ample zipper goes all the way down to the belly button. Like many of the others here, it comes in a sleeveless form. Find it here.
2XU Perform Tri Shirt
2XU did a nice job with their Perform Tri Singlet Shirt, a sleeveless shirt that wicks moisture well and is very lightweight. The fabric blend is 83% polyamide, which may sound like a toothpaste but is basically a nylon variation. We like the three rear pockets, which sit at an angle so thye are easier to access and reach when you need your fuel. The zipper runs about halfway down the front, to just above the belly, creating enough room for an easy-on even when wet. We didn't experience any bunching under the wetsuit.
Overall, what we would expect from 2XU – quality and performance from someone who has been at this for a long time. Find it here.
Zoot Performance Top
A good triathlon top that won't break the bank, the Zoot has 80% nylon construction which will keep it form-fitting and low-profile. The long zipper comes down to the ribcage, allowing for easy on and off, and cooling on a hot day. It is a sleeveless top, but the fabric areas have a 50 SPF quality. Two mesh pockets allow for easy access, although we like the pocket placement on some of the others better — it is all personal preference. Overall, a decent top and good value.
Unlike many others on the list, he has a short-sleeved profile, which creates just enough coverage to protect against chafing under a wetsuit, and provides for some sun protection in a very vulnerable spot.
ROKA Tri Singlet
ROKA seems to be making good tri gear right now, and the Aero tri top is definitely a nice garment. Perhaps inspired a bit more by hardcore cycling jerseys than some of the others, ROKA notes the aerodynamics of the top for the cycling leg. We like the form-fitting design and positioning of the stretch pockets, more centered in the lower back. The zipper provides ample ventilation, and the knit fabric is a nice touch compared to the field. Note that this tends to run small, so order a size up if in doubt.
What to Look For in a Tri Top
There are a few things to look for when you are selecting a triathlon top or singlet. Here are the criteria we feel are most important.
- Fit is key, and everything we have listed above is sleek, form-fitting, and works well. You don't want your tri singlet to be loose, because it will bunch up under your wetsuit on the swim (or create drag if you don't use a wetsuit) and will also create drag on the bike. Worse, we have seen baggy singlets start to escape from the wetsuit neck area and create a parachute-like effect in the water — not what you want. These tops are meant to be form-fitting, but not too tight.
- Construction is also key. The brands listed above are reliable in this regard. Be wary of products made by "Johnny-come-lately" manufacturers who have no track record. They are likely just trying to make a buck, and have not studied the sport of triathlon like 2XU, Pearl Izumi, Zoot, ROKA, etc. This means you want comfortable, breathable fabric, seams that you don't notice, and the right shaping to keep the shirt on securely.
- Design (Zipper and Pockets). Zippers are important on a triathlon singlet for two reasons. First, unzipping creates a larger neck hole, allowing you to maneuver more easily if you choose to put the top on in T1 (many wear it the entire time, though). More importantly, it provides important venting, usually on the run, for those races when managing your heat is important. Pockets are critical as well – and placement/design is probably more important than the number. You will need pockets for your fuel, and spent fuel packets (don't litter!)
- Brand. As suggested, we like to stick with brands that are part of the triathlon community. Every brand we profile above is trusted in this regard. Spend a little more on a shirt made by a good tri brand, instead of saving a buck on something that is a wannabee. Also, note that the term "singlet" is used for track running, marathons, and other sports too. If you are going to swim and bike with it, you want a triathlon singlet.
Note that we did not say "color" — that is really up to you. We based our recommendation on the actual garment, not the color of the material.
Can I just wear a regular t-shirt in a triathlon?
Yes, you sure can. Lots of people do. If you do, just be sure to have something that is breathable, and won't be too floppy on the bike ride. People who wear a regular workout shirt or t-shirt wait until T1 to put it on, whereas you can wear a tri singlet under your wetsuit during the swim.
We would not recommend wearing a cycling shirt — they tend to chafe on the run. If you use a singlet that is really geared toward marathon-style running, be sure you give it a test first to be sure it is comfortable on the bike. You also won't use it in the swim leg.
We did an entire piece on triathlon clothing, here, if you want to get more in-depth.
Is there a difference between men's and women's singlets?
Yes. Women's singlets are designed to accommodate the chest area, much like a sports bra is. Men's singlets are designed with a man's build in mind. Be sure to order a gender-specific top.

Christie's Is Holding an Online Sale of Andy Warhol's Fashion Polaroids and Sketches
Online shopping addict, you may call me, but I for one will not be missing this online sale, even if it's just to window shop. Isn't it great how 'window shop' still works with online? Anyway.
The auction house is holding an online sale called Andy Warhol@Christie's: Fashion, and it includes some great treasures, like Warhold's famous Polaroids of a dashing, newly graying Giorgio Armani, the perpetually cape-laden André Leon Talley, Princess Caroline of Monaco, the beautiful Lee Radziwill, and others. (Jean Paul Gaultier! Gianni Versace! Okay, I'm done.)
Polaroids aren't the only Warhol pieces for sale. Remember the Christian Dior dresses designed by Raf Simons, who borrowed Warhol's sketches of shoes for the runway?
The drawings from whence they came will be available online, as well.
Though estimates range anywhere from $3,000 to $35,000 (the latter for a drawing of Diana Vreeland, naturally) like all Christie's sales, this too is an auction, and anything could happen.
Should you be so inclined, the sale takes place from September 11 through 25. I'm holding out for the drawing of a deep-in-thought Yves Saint Laurent. Does anyone have $30,000 to spare?

When we mention slow cooking, we know what you might be thinking…
"I get home late from work, I'm exhausted and the last thing I want to do is have to start prepping a meal and then waiting hours for it to be ready. I'm all about the convenience."
Well news flash, slow cooking is all about the convenience.
Picture this, you put 20 mins of prep time in the night before or in the morning, pop the ingredients in your slow cooker before you leave the house for work and voila! When you get home after a tiring day, you have a ready-to-roll, beautifully cooked meal you can eat when you want.
What's more, not only will you be eating a delicious meal, using slow cookers are also very cost effective. Slow cookers are relatively cheap to buy, inexpensive to use and they're great for making the most of budget ingredients including some of the cheaper, secondary cuts. Plus, they offer a healthier, low-fat method of cooking – really, what's not to love? The only thing we can think of is you still have to do the washing up!
Check out our recipes that work great with a slow cooker below. For more slow cooker recipes click here.

You can't survive as a creative if you aren't able to take criticism. Simple as that. It's part of the deal once you decide that you want to make things for a living. But how should you handle it when you feel like someone is ripping your work apart?
I actually crave critiques. I want to know what other people think of my art. I want to know what I need to work on. I love to learn and criticism is a crucial aspect in identifying what I need to learn more of.
I've been around people that have a really hard time hearing that something is "wrong" with what they've made. You can sense the tension mounting and see them start to block out what's being said as soon as it begins. But that's not the best way to approach a critique. There's a right way and a wrong way to deal with it:
- DO ask for opinions from everyone. From your peers to your coworkers to your potential customers, each of those individuals has a different point of view that adds value to the feedback you're receiving.
- DON'T dismiss what they're saying because they don't understand art or design. You're hearing a candid response from someone. If something isn't clear to them, perhaps you need to rethink your design so the message is more obvious.
- DO pay attention to what they're saying. Whether you immediately agree with it or not, actually listen to their response. Take notes if you need to. They wouldn't be saying it if they didn't think it was important to highlight.
- DON'T immediately start defending your choices. Be open-minded to their opinions and avoid interrupting them. You don't want to discourage them from giving you useful advice.
- DO ask for clarification. If you don't quite understand their reasoning, ask questions until you uncover what they're really trying to say.
- DON'T walk away until you can identify something to adjust. Like it or not, there is always room for improvement. Nobody is perfect. The whole point of a critique is to help you grow and you can't do that unless you know what to work on.
At the end of the day though, you need to take some things with a grain of salt. It's great to receive criticism from someone but keep in mind that they are just one human being out of the billions that exist on this planet. Don't get yourself down because that one person thinks your art is horrible. Maybe it simply doesn't fit their style...and that's okay. But if you're getting the same response from multiple people, it's something worth exploring in your work.

Costa Concordia re-floated off Tuscany
Italian engineers have successfully re-floated the Costa Concordia cruise ship which ran aground off the Tuscan coast in 2012.
Following a delay for poor weather, the ship was detached from rocks and moved on to a platform constructed on the sea bed.
Thirty-two people died when the cruise ship ran aground off the Tuscan coast.
Two bodies are yet to be recovered, with hopes they may be discovered during the latest phase of the operation to remove the ship.
The Italian Civil Protection Authority said only after the 114,000 tonne vessel - which capsized off the Tuscan island of Giglio in January 2012 - is back up on her keel will it be possible to inspect it fully and begin to plan how to repair and re-float it.
The ship will eventually be towed away to be destroyed.
Five people have already been convicted of manslaughter over the disaster, and the ship's captain, Francesco Schettino, is currently on trial accused of manslaughter and abandoning ship.

Alan Semerdjian
Alan Semerdjian's work always seems to find its way to those who want a little more out of the music they let into their lives. Perhaps its his insistence on doing things his own way and staying true to his vision of the world, one informed by years of creating art, writing essays and poems, and teaching high school English in and around New York City. Perhaps it's his allegiance to the universal themes of longing and reflection. His is a fierce new kind of romanticism that paints stark yet vivid portraits of our interior spaces and our vulnerabilities while always suggesting love for the human condition and hope for a better tomorrow. Whatever the reason, Semerdjian is beloved by his community of listeners and those in the know.
After 20 years of making and releasing music on his own in a myriad of bands and genres (and earning rave reviews and film and tv credits), Semerdjian has partnered with Asheville's NewSong Recordings for his latest release, Quiet Songs for Loud Times (summer 2013). The collection of deeply personal songs is his response to the changing world around him and, on a broader level, the complexities that challenge our society as a whole. "In many ways, this is a record about growing up," says Semerdjian, "and realizing that what we imagined adulthood would look like isn't necessarily what it ends up being…and that that's not necessarily a bad thing." On the subject of the name of the album, Semerdjian says, "There are all different kinds of 'loud times.' Over the past three years of writing, performing, and recording these songs, I found that the external vibrations in the world – the economic hardships of the country and the occupy movement, for instance – mirror what's going on inside for so many of us, our interpersonal relationships and coming to grips with our own mortality…and vice versa. These songs are a response to those vibrations."
Quiet Songs for Loud Times is mixed by longtime friend and frequent collaborator Mike Bloom (The Elected, Rilo Kiley, Julian Casablancas), who has worked with Semerdjian on his previous two releases (2005's When There Was Something Wrong With You and 2009's The Big Beauty), and features appearances by Aram Bajakian (Lou Reed, Diana Krall) on electric guitar, Chris Kuffner (Ingrid Michaelson) on bass, Dave Diamond (Assembly of Dust) on drums and percussion and Matt Iselin on piano and organ. The team succeeds at constructing a mature and artful intimacy that is consistent with Semerdjian's distinct aesthetic while striking notes familiar in modern folk music, indie and art rock, and Americana traditions. The result is a stunningly beautiful album in both sound and sentiment, finding Alan Semerdjian at the top of his craft.

There are too many things to do in NY to waist time tolerating mediocrity. So after sitting through one half of a contemporary dance show which was more Rock Esitedford /So you think you can dance than our Sandra Parker or Jo Llyod, and my silent laughter turned to visible shaking at the 'troubled-yet-passionate" dance to Hallelujah in which the couple kept running away then towards each other, him with his open shirt fluttering around his bare chest, her with her flexed footed leaping, we legged it out of there. Caught the L across to Brooklyn and after getting lost, getting lost and getting lost again found a gallery opening at 10 o'clock on a Friday night. And in a compressed night which covered the ridiculous to the sublime, we listened to a sound piece generated by the movement of the audience transferred into vibrations which then passed an LPG bottle. The amplified micro movements were at first perplexing then quite fascinating as it revealed an unseen world of minute particles busying themselves with the flow of travelling through air. It made me think of how full the empty space of air is.
Later that night we became the recipients of noise rather than the emitters of sound at new club in Brooklyn. In the blacken bunker space we were slammed on all sides by a crescendo of repetitive beats. (My history of music professor tells me I shouldn't be intimidated by Italian words, and I can simply say "the volume gets louder" but I think that the sound of the word 'crescendo' feels a lot more like you head has been crashed between two subwoofers and four turntables, so in this instance I'm going with that.) We had been told that "this room had the most sophisticated sound system anywhere in the world tonight!". And whilst I'm learning to find the exaggeration of Americans endearing, grains of salt still get sprinkled. To my great surprise they could have this time been right. The music was felt through the floor, through the bar, through the air, through the bodies of the masses dancing and yet we could talk to each other without shouting, we could hear each other without lip reading. Although I should confess when I mentioned this to our friend who had built the sound system he said "What?" and then I had to repeat myself 3 times, which comically disproved my compliment to him.

Honestly, "The Unbreakable Kimmy Scmidt," produced by Tina Fey, is a lot better than I thought it would be. Two episodes into this Netflix original series and I have already laughed way more than I should have.
Cast for the role of Kimmy Schmidt is Missouri-native Ellie Kemper, who is well known for her role as Kelly Hannon in the Emmy-nominated television series "The Office."
As usual, the following will contain spoilers. Stop reading here if you haven't yet gotten around to starting this series but still want to. You've been warned.
For starters, what I find most interesting about the series is the premise. At first I thought it was going to be a weird documentary about the actor who plays Schmidt going around talking to people in New York and making friends as she goes. Thankfully, I was completely wrong.
The show actually follows the 29-year-old Schmidt, who until recently spent her entire life since she was 12 in a fallout bunker with three other women, thinking the world had ended. In reality, she had unknowingly joined a cult and was being held against her will.
As the first episode begins, the audience gets a peek at what everyday life was like for the four women, a.k.a. the Indian mole women, in the bunker. For the most part, they seemed content living a vaguely Amish lifestyle, never really questioning the man who is called Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (true story) about what has happened to the world above and why he is the only who can enter and exit the bunker freely.
Soon after the women are liberated by a swat team and brought out into the world for the first time in years. Oddly enough, Schmidt is all sunshine and rainbows at this point. The group then makes their appearance on the "Today" show to share their story. Afterwards, Schmidt decides to take her chances and start a new life in Manhattan.
Somehow, Schmidt is able to find a landlady willing to take her in and in doing so, she gains a sassy gay roommate named Titus whose dream is to perform on Broadway. At first, it looks like it isn't going to work out between them, but Titus manages to develop a conscience by the end of the first episode.
With no money (she managed to get $11,000 stolen in one night), Schmidt is in desperate need of a job. She manages to find one at the home of a rich Manhattan family as a nanny, after mistaking trophy-wife Jacqueline Voorhees for being captive in her own home during her face peel.
The series has serious binge-watching potential. It is actually pretty funny given Schmidt's backstory. She has the mentality of a teenager, and sometimes it's like watching something you find on Nick at Nite. At the same time, she is technically a rape survivor.
The show doesn't actually take sexual violence as a serious part of the show, and it's possible to watch without actually noticing that it's there. At most, it is only referenced in subtle jokes about how she managed to make it through life without any worries. The way she manages to take everything in stride is actually pretty admirable.
In the first episode, Titus tells Schmidt to go home to Indiana; he's trying to protect her.
"Protect me from what?" she said. "The worst thing that ever happened to me happened in my own front yard."
Empowering and funny, "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" gets 8.5/10.

In the Beats1 interview, Romy also admitted to feeling "really nervous" about returning to the live setting: "I've been off stage for a long time, but it's just going to be great to play some new songs and actually look into people's eyes and see the reaction. That fits in with the title, it kind of has a lot of meaning to us, but one of the meanings is, when you're going to a gig and you stand in the front row and you look at the people at stage, I always used to think they couldn't see me, I'm just invisible, and then I got on stage and I could see everybody. That's one of the meanings of the title, and a message to our fans."

As with most people under 60 living in the world today, texting has become an integral part of my everyday life. This is mainly because I have young adult children who are tethered to their phones but find it easier to text than to call and actually talk to their mother. Even when I call and leave them voicemail, they often respond with a text. If we didn't have dinner together every week and they didn't occasionally need a babysitter, I might actually forget what their voices sound like.
I don't especially enjoy texting because I'm not good at it. I'm not good at texting because I'm particular. After painfully texting my message I have to proofread it, correct all the mistakes the autocorrect made and check the punctuation before I can send it off.
Not so with my children! Their texts are full of prolly, cul8r, nvrmnd and ttys! I think that when they text they forget that commas even exist let alone the rules regarding their uses. When I think of the money I invested in their college educations, I wonder why I bothered. At the rate the language seems to be deteriorating, my grandchildren will have grammar mastered by the time they're in the fourth grade.
Is this really the case or am I being melodramatic? Is text speak destroying the English language? The debate is raging and there are good parents, educators and employers on both sides of the argument. Research is revealing mixed messages on what the future will bring. One thing everyone agree on is that texting isn't going to go away because the mobile market is driven by it. It is estimated that text messaging will generate more than 700 billion dollars in the next five years. Since today's youth, especially those in the United States, are passionate users of text, we should be concerned.
The first text message was sent in December 1992 and already this cultural phenomenon has resulted in a number of texting abbreviations making it into the Oxford English Dictionary. If you don't know what LOL, FYI or BFF mean, you can now find them there.
Some studies quote teachers as complaining that text speak is making its way into the classroom. Students are using it in their notes, textbooks and sometimes even in their exams. These teachers are concerned that it is destroying their students' understanding of grammar, spelling and punctuation. Imagine a college student who doesn't know it's you and not u. Professors claim that they are showing up in their classrooms. They also claim that the language is even creeping into spoken conversations and is weakening their students' communication skills. Employers have also raised concerns that text speak is showing up on job applications and in business emails.
Other studies quote teachers as praising texting because it is opening up a new world of writing for some students that the classroom was never able to. Through texting, students are doing more writing and editing and, as S. Kelley Harrell has said, "Editing is the very edge of your knowledge forced to grow – a test you can't cheat on." These teachers see a student's ability to manipulate English as a positive thing because it improves their grasp of it. Some studies claim as well that, though texting may weaken grammar, it actually increases reading skills. In addition, a number of people look at the history of English and the changes that have made drastic differences in it in the past and see this as a natural result of progress. Many employers are also pleased because they think text speak drives brevity and speed of communication; they believe it will help their employees compete in a fast-paced business world.
I'm still concerned. Why do we want to allow our beautiful language to be dumbed down to speed up communication? Since when is faster better than more eloquent? Will some employers be happier still when their employees start grunting and finger pointing?
We have had twenty years to watch the effects of text speak on the younger generation and, though it may strengthen relationships once handicapped by distance, is it worth the risk? Is there anything we can do to lessen or even nullify the consequences of text speak on the English language?
Perhaps there is. Perhaps we can teach students to know and use what is appropriate in which settings. Some seventy percent of schools have banned cell phones from their campuses. Teachers should maintain the standard for banning text speak from their lessons. If we can keep text speak out of education, maybe we can save the English language from being destroyed by text speak and still allow it to speed up and enrich our communications. What do you think?
