Best book for a beginner to learn C? I've never learned a programming language, but I'm hoping to learn C over the summer. My friend, a computer science student, is going to teach me as he learns it. We would like a textbook or reference book or work book of some kind. What would be a good choice?

I'm planning on buying a bike for road rides, but I am also planning on training for my first sprint tri. Is a regular road bike alright for a beginner tri-athlete? Can I use a tri style bike for long road rides? Does it even make a difference?

I am a fan of turnovers, pasties, empanadas and similar instances of the global phenomenon of creating a portable meal by putting something yummy in the middle of pastry. I usually put ground beef in my turnovers, but I'm getting bored of variations on spiced ground beef. Help me find new delicious things to encase in pie crust! I'm looking for recipes, links to recipes, ideas for recipes, and cookbook recommendations. Feel free to recommend things that are sweet, savory, or both.
