From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
When I was a kid, my grandmother could do the best magic trick I'd ever seen. She'd take a bunch of raw ingredients - butter, sugar, baker's chocolate and so on - and make it into candy. This, to me, was loads better than pulling rabbits out of hats.

How to Make Double Chocolate Eggs
Look at these double chocolate eggs, for example, and tell me you'd rather have a rabbit. You wouldn't.

How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
These are my favorites. I think vegetables should taste like chocolate peanut butter candy. I would be the healthiest person on earth.

How to Make Sugar Easter Eggs
These eggs are delicious, pretty, and they have toys inside. They're essentially edible versions of those little dioramas you used to make in school.

How to Make Coconut Easter Eggs
Sweetened coconut + cream cheese = three dozen adorable tiny white eggs.

From Daniel Billett, your Guide to Men's Fashion / Grooming
There are a few accessories that are essential to my everyday look. A great bag for my laptop, sunglasses, great eyeglasses and a fashionable fedora.

Famous Men and Their Fashionable Fedoras
Historically, men's hats were a key element of a well dressed man's wardrobe, until the '60s that is. However in recent years the hat (such as fedoras, porkpies, and flat caps) has been enjoying a new found popularity. Fedoras in particular are very fashionable. They can be found in their traditional form as well as modern interpretations. Fedoras are terrific hats because they can be so versatile and make your look more funky, edgy or sophisticated depending on how you wear one. So if you own just one hat, make it a fashionable fedora. See this gallery of famous men and their fedoras for inspiration.

Geek Chic Glasses
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKEIf you wear glasses or like to wear glasses even without a prescription, take note. Geek chic glasses are all the rage. While recently in New york I was taken aback by how many people are wearing chunky, retro styles spectacles. Sure you see celebrities and fashion models wearing them, but when it hits the streets en masse, you know it's a trend you will see for a while. I even broke down an picked a pair for myself.

Top Picks in Men's Sunglasses
There is no accessory quite like sunglasses. You can be wearing sloppy clothes but a great pair of sunglasses can turn your look, or lack of one, around. Check out some of my top picks in men's sunglasses, some of which are expensive and some that are not. Either way, these men's sunglasses are still stylish.

Stylish Laptop Computer Bags and Totes For Every Guy
Until recently, laptop bags have never been very attractive or fashionable. Thankfully more and more companies are coming out with stylish ways to tote around the ever important high tech companion. Here I have picked a few stylish alternatives to the lackluster laptop cases we are all used to seeing.

Why the 352 Yard Workout?

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 09:00 AM PDT

This article may be trivia to Americans, but beneficial to the rest of the World who are not familiar with the Imperial system.

You've seen the classic workout of 2 x 352 yards in older sprint programs like Bud Winter and other great coaches.

Why the unusual distance?

To use a very bad analogy, it's similar to buying a "fifth" of a bottle of hard alcohol.  It is exactly one-fifth (1/5) of a US Gallon or 25.6 ounces, 1.6 pints, 0.8 quarts or 0.75706 liters.  The standard size today is 750ml or 0.75 Liters.

Same with the 352 yard workout.  It is exactly one-fifth of a Mile or 1760 yards.

So for Quarter-milers, you should train a distance up to a fifth of a mile.  (And I hated fractions in elementary school!)

For metric minded people, 352 yards = 321.86 meters

I always stick to 40 seconds as my golden rule for speed endurance workouts.

Random 352 Yard / 300 Meter Workouts

Bud Winter's workouts consisted of 3 x 352 yards in 44 sec with 15 minute recovery.  You would drop 2 sec every month until you can do all 3 in 38 sec.  That's equivalent to 35.5 for 300m.

My McGill days with Coach Dennis Barrett consisted of Wednesday's workouts of 3 x 300m with 15 min recovery.  I still remember them vividly.  The first 2 reps were "easy".  I never looked forward to the 3rd one.

According to AtoBolden.com, John Smith's HSI group would do the 3 x 300m workout with only 8 minutes recovery, though his world class sprinters would do them in the 35's range and therefore resembles more of an intensive tempo workout with their top end speed.

According to Charlie Francis, whenever Ben Johnson had a 300m workout scheduled, he would always find a way to skip the workout.  And usually he did.

For more information on the "300 meter workout", check out the previous articles:

From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
My Aunt Cheryl will tell anyone who asks that her cat Pumpkin chose her, and not the other way around. You know that game where you tap someone on the shoulder and then act innocent as soon as they turn around? Pumpkin did that to her when she visited the pound to pick out a cat.

Adopting a Cat From a Shelter
Pumpkin reached out his paw from between the bars of his cage, patted my aunt's shoulder, and then snaked his paw back in. I picture him whistling afterward. My aunt fell in love immediately.

Profile of Mixed Breed Cats
It must be said that this was a rare incident of cunning on Pumpkin's part, never to be repeated again. Mixed breed cats might be known for their hardiness, but Pumpkin didn't inherit much in the way of brains.

Tell Us About Your Cat
For example, I once saw him climb into a paper bag, decide it was night time, and go to sleep. Even the dog was horrified at that.

Cat Breeds A to Z
All the kittehs you can handle, from Abyssinian to, well, Turkish Van.
