Email services are offered to students, faculty and staff of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. The service includes automatic backups of mail stored on our servers, support for secure protocols for sending and retrieving mail, client configuration help, and spam-filtering. General email configuration settings are listed below. Users on Google Suite account should check out these GSuite Instructions.

SMTP is the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, the standard under which mail is transported on the Internet. Many applications that generate outgoing mail hand it off to an SMTP server that will handle the sometimes complex task of resolving addresses and transporting messages to the destination.
The main SMTP server cluster is send.ldeo.columbia.edu. If you install a mail program on your computer, you can configure send.ldeo.columbia.edu as the SMTP server. Your mail program will send all outbound mail to send.ldeo.columbia.edu and then send.ldeo.columbia.edu will take care of routing your messages to their destinations.
Send.ldeo.columbia.edu requires SMTP authentication. The email program you use will do this for you. Send.ldeo.columbia.edu requires either TLS encryption (port 587) or SSL encryption (port 465). TLS to port 587 is preferred. If you are connected through an off-campus service provider you may need to use port 587 to reach send.ldeo.columbia.edu.
IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing electronic mail that are kept on a mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
POP stands for Post Office Protocol, and it is another method for accessing email. POP allows your mail program to talk to the email server and then download all of the messages each time you connect. One of the advantages of POP is the ability to download all of your messages onto a local computer.
Mail.ldeo.columbia.edu requires password authentication. The email program you use will do this for you mail.ldeo.columbia.edu requires either TLS encryption (port 143) or SSL encryption (port 993).
You can access this service with your Lamont Username and Password within a secure connection at mail.ldeo.columbia.edu (Powered by Horde©)

1) If you are offsite, your ISP may block the SMTP ports above. In that case try TLS on port 587. This may or may not work, depending on the ISP.
2) You must use one of TLS or SSL -- either encrypts your connection

If you're looking to get an ice machine for your establishment but can't decide which type is the best for you, we're here to help. With commercial ice machines, there are three different types of condensers: air-cooled, water-cooled, and remote condensers. A condenser is a vital piece to refrigeration systems, eliminating heat to allow for continuous cooling inside. Determining what type of condenser you need depends on how much ice is needed per day, the working conditions of the ice machine, and the geographical location of your establishment. We carry all three types here at Zesco so whatever type of ice machine you decide that you need, we have it in stock.
Water-Cooled Ice Machines
If your establishment is located in a hot and humid climate where there aren't any water usage restrictions, then a water-cooled ice machine is ideal for you. The air temperature doesn't impact the condenser's cooling process of these ice machines significantly since they use water rather than air. These types of ice machines use less electricity when compared to air-cooled and remote-condenser machines, but use a much higher amount of water per day since there has to be a separate water line that runs into the condenser. If you're looking for an ice machine that is relatively quiet, this is also the best options since there is no noisy fan in the condenser.
Air-Cooled Ice Machines
For a cheaper route, air-cooled ice machines are the way to go. These units are usually less expensive than water-cooled models and also use less water, saving you more money throughout the year as well. The way these units work is air is circulated over the water lines, keeping the heat at a minimum and water inside cool. An easy to install process makes for almost every commercial kitchen to be suitable for an air-cooled ice machine. The downside to air-cooled ice makers is the compressor coil fan which can be quite noisy while running.
Remote-Condenser Ice Machines
If noise and possibly a little added extra heat in your kitchen is an issue, then a remote-condenser ice machine would work out great in your establishment. Remote-condenser machines and air-cooled machines are virtually the same thing besides the fact the remote-cooled machines require a little more space to operate. The condenser unit is located away from the ice machine in a room or place where the noise and heat can be managed without disturbing the dining area or kitchen. These types of ice machines typically require air filters that need to be replaced regularly to maintain optimum performance.
Climate, space, and obviously cost play a big factor when it comes to figuring out which type of ice machine is best for your kitchen. When you determine which ice machine your kitchen is best suited for, head over to our commercial ice machine section to find the perfect one for your establishment today!

Go Green or Bust? When to Buy Organic
Lisa Shin
Unpeelable Produce
Verdict: Go green
Fruits and veggies that can't be peeled (or where you usually eat the skin) are typically coated with insect repellants — the USDA has found 28 pesticides on conventionally grown potatoes, 39 on strawberries, and 48 on grapes and apples. Unfortunately, the substances that keep bugs off your berries have been linked to cancer, lung disease, birth defects, reproductive problems, and more, so opt organic when purchasing leafy greens, apples, potatoes, and the like; they're grown with nonsynthetic pest controls. (Always be sure to avoid the Dirty Dozen — the most pesticide-laden fruits and veggies.)
Can't afford organic produce? Try this make-your-own wash, from Jackie Newgent, RD, author of Big Green Cookbook: Mix 1 cup each water and white distilled vinegar, 2 teaspoons each fresh lemon juice and baking soda. (Foaming may occur.) Spray and scrub with a produce brush, then rinse to shower off some pesticide residue.
You can also try shopping your local farmers' market for hidden organic gems. "Many farmers follow environmentally friendly practices but haven't completed the certification process to be considered officially organic," says Newgent. Just ask Farmer Bill if he uses chemical pesticides — you might snag an undercover eco-friendly deal!
Peter Tak
Produce with a Thick Peel or Rind
Verdict: Be mainstream
The Environmental Working Group, who created the Dirty Dozen list, have also ID'd the Clean 15: the fruits and vegetables least likely to have pesticide residues. When it comes to onions, avocado, asparagus, eggplant, mangoes, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and more, you can feel good about skipping the organic label and saving some dough.

Animal Products
Verdict: Go green
Pick your protein wisely. Organically raised cows, chickens, and pigs are not given antibiotics (which may pave the way to drug-resistance in humans), their feed has not been genetically tweaked, and they may be treated in a more humane way, says Newgent. (Interestingly, chickens and pigs raised in the U.S. are never given hormones, rendering a "hormone-free" label relatively meaningless.) Besides protecting yourself from potential superbugs, you might be sparing your waistline: Organic meat is brimming with Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), thought to promote weight loss and lessen your risk of cancer and heart disease; organic milk may contain higher amounts of health-promoting nutrients like beta-carotene and omega-3 fatty acids, along with CLA.
Verdict: Be mainstream
If organic meat and chicken are too pricey, Newgent suggests veering toward a plant-based diet; nonorganic beans are way cheap, offering excellent protein and fiber bang for your buck — two things most women don't get enough of. Buy them in a bag and soak them yourself to avoid a toxic chemical called Bisphenol A, or BPA, found in some can linings and linked to everything from cancer to infertility. (Or try beans from Eden Foods and Amy's Kitchen — both brands use BPA-free cans.)
Denise Crew
Verdict: Go green
Just when you finally devoted yourself to slathering on SPF, new reports are emerging (but have yet to be confirmed) that suggest certain common chemicals in sun block, such as oxybenzone, may cause a slew of health problems of their own, from hormonal disruption to free radical damage in skin. But don't throw in the beach towel just yet: If you're concerned, Kasprowicz recommends buying broad-spectrum sunscreens that rely on physical blockers like titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, which are not absorbed into the skin, rather than conventional sun protection products that contain chemical ingredients that do seep into skin, such as benzones, amino benzoic acid, and cinnamates. Try Kiss My Face Natural Mineral Formula SPF 40 ($16.99; kissmyface.com) or Coppertone Sensitive Skin Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 ($8.99; drugstore.com).
Jack Miskell
Nail Polish
Verdict: Be mainstream
There's a reason you need a surgical mask to breathe in nail salons. According to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, the polish has traditionally contained a "toxic trio" of health-threatening ingredients: dibutyl phthalate (DBP), formaldehyde, and toluene. DBP adds flexibility and sheen, formaldehyde is a nail hardener, and toluene imparts a smooth finish. These same chemicals have also been shown to affect the reproductive and central nervous system; formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen. So why are we assuring you it's safe to go mainstream? A number of popular polish manufacturers, including OPI, Orly, and Sally Hansen, have retinkered their products to remove the toxic trio. Your salon doesn't carry those brands? BYOP — Bring Your Own Polish!
J. Ryan Roberts
Shampoo and Body Wash
Verdict: Go green
Sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate — the ingredients that help you suds up your tresses — can irritate skin and have even been linked with (but not proven to cause) cancer, so pick products with an "SLS-free" label. You'll be protecting the environment clean, too: "The products you use in the shower get rinsed off, going down the drain and into waterways," notes Mike Morgan, Whole Body Coordinator for Whole Foods Market, Midwest region. Buying "clean" products keeps harsh chemicals not only off your skin, but also out of streams and rivers.
At Whole Foods, any product with the Premium Body Care seal is free of parabens, SLS, fragrance, and preservatives.
Remember that just having the word "organic" somewhere on the label — or even in the name itself — does not guarantee that a product is entirely organic. Look for the USDA Organic Seal or for the term "70% organic." Cosmetics and personal care products that are between 95% and 100% organic may display the USDA Organic Seal, while those that contain at least 70% organic ingredients may use the term "Made with organic ingredients." Those with less than 70% organic ingredients can list individual organic ingredients.
Eye Makeup
Verdict: Be mainstream
"Mascara and eyeliner are probably safe places to go conventional," says Lisa Archer, National Director of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. "They're only touching a very small part of your skin and you're not ingesting or inhaling anything." Just steer clear of products containing fragrance or petroleum distillates, solvents that have been linked to cancer.
Jack Miskell
Verdict: DIY green
Chances are, you've got some pretty stellar natural lotions sitting in your pantry at home. Olive, almond, and other oils can sub for moisturizer — that's what Jessica Cassity, 33, of Portland, does. "I only use coconut oil on my skin," she says. "I'm trying to follow the Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) principle of 'only put on your body ingredients you'd put in your mouth.' I've been amazed at how much better it is at nourishing my skin than lotion, and I feel better using it than designer organic lotions that still have a long list of suspicious-sounding ingredients — it's sort of like eating spinach instead of a processed spinach dip."

Countertop Cleaners
Verdict: Go green
Besides releasing irritating chemicals like formaldehyde and chlorine into the air where they'll be inhaled, chances are your food will at some point touch these surfaces (a pineapple chunk falls off your fork en route from plate to mouth; you pick it up and eat it), making it worthwhile to be vigilant about ingredients, says Sophie Uliano author of Gorgeously Green: 8 Simple Steps to an Earth-Friendly Life. Look for the green and white USDA Organic Seal or products that use nontoxic ingredients, like Method or Safeway's Bright Green line.

Air Fresheners
Verdict: DIY green
Traditional air fresheners contain a plethora of toxic chemicals, including neurotoxic phthalates. Uliano says you can skip the pricey eco-friendly air fresheners and candles and rely on pure essential oils: Just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to an aromatherapy diffuser.
Verdict: Be mainstream (just shop smart!)
Is "Does this shirt make me look earth-friendly?" the new "Do these pants make my butt look big?" When it comes to clothing, an "organic" label means it was made out of cotton or wool that was not sprayed with pesticides or fungicides. "But a good spin through the washing machine will remove most of the residue, so if you're worried about nasty chemicals rubbing onto your skin, you can safely shop conventional and just clean the outfit thoroughly before wearing," Uliano says. That's what Robin Immerman Gruen, 35, of Chicago, does: "When it comes to shopping organic, clothing is one area where I don't freak out too much. I figure if I wash the outfit before I wear it, it shouldn't cause too much trouble. I'm more likely to spend my money on organic fruits where you eat the outside peel, like apples, or with eco-friendly countertop spray to keep my child's high chair clean."
More concerned about what Mother Earth will be wearing in 10 years? Patronize stores that sell sustainable clothing made from recycled fibers, like Patagonia and American Apparel. "You'll make a powerful impact on the environment without leaving the store feeling cash-strapped," Uliano promises. Still nervous? H&M and Wal-Mart sell affordable organic options.

Baby Bottles
Verdict: Go green
Babies and young children, with their rapidly growing brains and other organs, are more susceptible to the nasty health effects of BPA. Thankfully, most baby bottles, plastic toys, and pacifiers from reputable manufacturers are now BPA-free. Look for the packaging to explicitly say "BPA-free," or for the recycling labels #1, #2, or #4 on the bottom (avoid #7, which may contain BPA).
Ryan McVay/Photodisc
Verdict: Be mainstream
Considering the average baby plows through 10 diapers a day (that's almost 300 per month!), plenty of environmentally conscious new moms get caught up in the disposable-versus-cloth diaper debate. But the fact is, "cloth diapering is so energy- and water-intensive, it might not be better for the environment," Uliano admits. One option that blends the ease of disposables with the green of reusables: gDiapers, which pair reusable diaper covers with disposable inserts.
LWA/The Image Bank
Baby Skin Products
Verdict: Go green
Protect that deliciously soft skin with lotions and shampoos that are free of parabens and phthalates. An easy tip-off: If it has the word "fragrance" on the label, "that's code word for potentially harmful chemicals," Uliano says, so look for natural fragrances. Seventh Generation's Wee Generation products use olive oil to moisturize and essential oils to naturally add fragrance.

Baby Food
Verdict: Go green
When it comes to first foods, organic produce is safer for infants as pesticides tend to be most concentrated in the skins of fresh fruits and vegetables, says Rebecca Scritchfield, RD, Washington, DC-based dietitian and expectant mom. "Those pesticides may build up in a baby because they usually eat a more limited number of foods and they eat more food for their body size compared to adults." Don't get too freaked about jarred food, though: "Conventional baby food may actually have lower pesticide levels than fresh, even when they're not labeled 'organic,' because they don't have to use pretty-looking fruits and vegetables." Scritchfield notes than from a nutritional standpoint, no large studies have proven that organic produce pack in more nutrients than nonorganic. No time to steam and puree your own fruits and veggies? Try an organic brand like Plum Organics or Earth's Best.

EL SOBRANTE — Long before the advent of 24-hour chain drugstores, Bob Jeha was known to open his pharmacy on San Pablo Dam Road in the middle of the night to fill prescriptions for customers in need.
He would even give medications to people for free if they couldn't afford to pay, said longtime friend Jim Storer.
"I've known a number of people who were quite ill and needed a lot of medications," said Storer, the former principal of De Anza High School. "Bob never turned anybody away for lack of ability to pay."
Jeha's generous spirit extended far beyond his drugstores; it can be found throughout this West Contra Costa community of nearly 13,000 that he helped build.
Jeha, 84, set up his first drugstore in 1959 in what was once the snack bar of the Park Theater, which was owned by his father. It was the first of five pharmacies he would operate in the East Bay, including stores in Rodeo, San Pablo, Richmond and Dublin.
But it was in El Sobrante that Jeha left the deepest imprint. That was where he and his wife, Patricia, made their home, raising daughters Cathy and Sheri and son Bill, a member of the Walnut Creek police force. Sheri and Bill are licensed pharmacists like their father.
Bob Jeha co-founded the El Sobrante Rotary Club, which sponsors an annual goodwill medical mission to Baja California, and the El Sobrante Chamber of Commerce. He also started El Sobrante-based Tri-City Titans Pop Warner football and coached basketball and baseball for the El Sobrante Boys Club.
Jeha was recently honored by the El Sobrante Rotary for 50 years of service to the community.
The son of Lebanese immigrants, Jeha was born in Berkeley and grew up in Benicia. He became interested in operating a pharmacy after working in a Benicia drugstore in high school and went on to attend the pharmacy school at Idaho State University.
Jeha started Park Rexall Drugs a few years after he graduated. He offered free prescription delivery in a sedan with a giant mortar and pestle mounted on the roof. He dubbed the service "Pills A Go Go," which was bannered across the front of the car.
"I went into debt opening my first pharmacy, but my philosophy was that if you needed (a prescription), you were going to get it, no matter what," Bob Jeha said.
Said Patricia: "He got free rent at the theater. He couldn't have done it otherwise, because there was no parking and a lot of competition nearby."
The theater pharmacy is now operated by Jeha's nephew, David Jeha, while daughter Sheri Jeha operates Brookvale Pharmacy in San Pablo. The other three stores have been sold.
Jeha's decision to found the Rotary International chapter came out of the desire to pull together the El Sobrante business community, along with a general interest in health care.
Jeha was part of a Rotary project to build a dental clinic and establish an annual dental health mission to the village of Mulege, Mexico.
Each year, the Rotary sponsors three local dentists to go to Mulege to provide checkups and dental work for residents who would not otherwise receive care.
"When you go down with that program, you get immersed in dentistry, and everyone becomes a dental assistant for a week or so," said Dick McCloskey, an El Sobrante painting contractor and a longtime Rotary member.
Jeha also initiated a Rotary program to donate pharmaceuticals to needy communities in the Philippines, Bill Jeha said.
The Tri-City Titans came together when Jeha put the money together to finance the teams that now include players from Richmond and San Pablo as well as El Sobrante, Bill Jeha said.
"Someone came to him about starting a Pop Warner (franchise), and he designed the whole league," Bill Jeha said.
Jeha retired in 1987 but continued to fill in as a pharmacist for several years when Bill Jeha, who works as a pharmacist part time, or David Jeha needed his help.
He has lived in a Walnut Creek condominium community since 2003 but still attends El Sobrante Rotary meetings regularly.

Denver Motorcycle Club hill climb 1929
Thousands attended The Denver Post-Denver Motorcycle Club hill climb contest at the Rifle range near Golden, Colorado in October, 1929. The Colorado National Guard postponed the regular target practice, so the hill on the back of the target pits could be used.
So many spectators attended that the "Golden paved road" was blocked continuously for two hours.
E.C. Smith of Columbus, Ohio, Secretary of the American Motorcycle Association, came to serve as referee.
Winners of the forty-five cubic inch (737 cc) event for experts:
First – "Red" McKenna of Colorado Springs in 14.3 seconds Second – "Joe Giba, Denver in 16.5 seconds Third – "Hap" Gale of Colorado Springs in 18.1 seconds
Winners of the sixty-one cubic inch (1,000 cc) event for experts:
First – "Red" McKenna, Colorado Springs in 14.3 seconds Second – "Hap" Gale, Colorado Springs in 18.5 seconds Third – "Bob" Craig, Denver in 20 seconds
Winners of the eighty cubic inch (1,311 cc) event for experts:
First – "Red" McKenna in 14 seconds
Second – "Bob Craig in 14.9 seconds
Third – "Joe" Giba in 15.3 seconds
The fastest time of the whole event was made by "Red" McKenna on a "Super Ex."

There's a place in every cyclist's lock-up for an all-purpose, take-it-out-no-matter-what-the-weather type bike like the Whyte Caledonian, and with the past couple of winters being harsh enough to make Dickens shiver in his grave, this is now truer than ever.
This kind of bike usually gets allocated names like commuter, urban, hybrid and the like, and sometimes the term 'all-terrain' gets bandied about, but is rarely genuinely applicable. So, with an all-terrain label firmly affixed to the Caledonian from Whyte, what's it actually capable of?
For starters, it's nice to see a bike of this ilk with a female specific frame - it's available in both men's and women's versions and we've ridden both – although it's the women's bike that I put through its test paces. I'm not going to go into the ins and outs of women's frames vs unisex and men's frames, but, depending on your proportions and on the fitting skills of your LBS, sometimes it's nice to have an option pre-tweaked for the fairer sex. This is the kind of bike that will see many recreational cyclists and fitness cyclists out on the road, and as such, it's good to offer easy straightforward encouragement to female riders in this way. There isn't a huge amount of difference between our test bike and the men's/unisex version, but on the women's the top tube is slightly dropped. More on this later.....
I'm often a little dubious about the idea of the all-terrain bike, but the Caledonian was a pleasant surprise. Its 700c wheels work admirably with the mountain bike-esque frame geometry, giving an upright ride with good bump absorption, without the rolling resistance associated with chunky mtb tyres. The gear ratio that comes as standard is spot-on for pretty much anything you fancy doing on this bike and the riding position allows for a relaxed and confident ride.
But is it all-terrain?
Well, yes actually, pretty much. It coped admirably with forest trails and gravelly bumpy tracks, was perfect for canal tow paths and the like, and whilst the SR Suntour Lite 63mm travel fork wasn't the plushest, I'd be happy to take it properly off-road on all but the gnarliest singletrack or big drops. So much so, that if I'd had it any longer, I'd have been making plans for a mixed-terrain tour like the Great Glen Way! It would make an ideal tourer, even coming with mounts for a proper rear rack, although it would equally well take a beam rack. On the road the knobbly WTB All Terrain Comp tyres weren't too knobbly for comfortable and responsive riding, and were narrow enough to keep rolling resistance to a minimum.
Another surprise was the handling of the bike. Having frequently ridden mountain bikes on the road, as well as an assortment of hybrids, rough stuff tourers, commuter bikes and the like, I was expecting a certain sluggishness from the Caledonian. But I did it a disservice in this expectation. The ride was lively and assertive, with enough acceleration on the flat to happily negotiate busy traffic. Descending was a doddle, with confidence boosting Hayes Stroker Comp disc brakes front and rear and a riding position to inspire reckless turns of speed, and it cornered beautifully, sticking to the road like glue. It was only in the climbs that the Caledonian disappointed slightly, with the upright riding position making for soupy steering and some oscillation on hills, no matter what the riding position.
On the whole, the Caledonian managed to combine a sporty and responsive ride, with a good turn of speed and a massive dose of grin factor. Chuck some spokey-dokeys in the wheels and I'd have felt 7 again!
The transmission, Shimano Deore and SLX, gave reasonably smooth shifting, but was lacking in some crispness and a little tricky to adjust successfully. The brakes were effective and easy to take care of, giving good stopping power. Even the saddle, as provided, was comfortable, which is rarely the case!
It's a great looking bike too, with an attractive white frame and pleasing lines, sporty and sleek without being overly girlie. The dropped top tube enhances the looks, whilst also giving confidence and making the bike accessible to all styles of rider. It's also a look that spans the urban and off-road sectors with ease.
All in all, there's little to dislike about a bike that offers a relaxed but sporty ride, is versatile enough to genuinely cope with all but the most hardcore off-road riding, looks good and makes you smile. For £849, that's a lot of bike for your money in my book.
A versatile bike genuinely capable of handling all but the most extreme terrains. And guaranteed to make you smile.

All terrain bike aimed at women riders.
Great frame for female riders of all styles, especially suited to those looking for a confidence boosting bike, and excellent on all but the roughest terrain.
Frame and fork
Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork?
Frame quality is excellent. Well shaped and well finished.
Fork is capable of handling most terrains, with only the exception of larger drops or rockier trails. Lock-out is effective enough to make it good for the road too.
Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork?
Aluminium frame was responsive, light and confidence inspiring.
Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork?
Slightly sloping top tube makes this as easy-mount option for women, yet it's not sufficiently aggressive a slope to affect the handling of the bike in a negative way.
Fork angle and frame geometry is just right for a combination of comfortable and relaxed riding, in an upright but sporty position, with good feedback and confident handling.
How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size?
Excellent proportions and with minimal tweaking, suitable for quite a broad selection of builds/heights even within just one frame size.

More adaptable and rider friendly fit than many hybrid style bikes.
Riding the bike
Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality.
Bike was extremely comfortable to ride, giving good acceleration, a fun sporty feel with good responses. Rolling resistance was good on road, and comfort levels and handling were surprisingly excellent off-road.
Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible?
Bike felt sufficiently stiff to give a fun and responsive ride. Nowhere felt too stiff or not stiff enough.
How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient?
I was amazed at how sporty the Caledonian was. Power transfer was very efficient and acceleration was good.
Was there any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel? If so, was it a problem?
How would you describe the steering? Was it lively, neutral or unresponsive? Neutral steering. Lively enough to make it fun, but stable enough for commuting.
Tell us some more about the handling. How did the bike feel overall? Did it do particular things well or badly?
Overall the bike was a pleasure to ride.
It handled well on the flat, with good acceleration, descended and cornered particularly well, and was great fun on or off road.
Climbing was its only problem, with any sort of sporting position make the steering much more difficult to control.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort? would you recommend any changes?
No changes to suggest.
Tyres were particularly good for allowing genuinely effective on or off-road use.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's stiffness? would you recommend any changes?
Frame offered good levels of stiffness combined with comfort.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's efficiency? would you recommend any changes?
No changes to suggest.
If you changed the frame or fork angle to make the bike a more aggressive climber, it would change the character of the whole bike. As is stands, it's a fun and capable all-terrain bike that would appeal to everyone from beginners to seasoned commuters and tourers.
Surprisingly lively.
Very nippy. Especially for this style of bike.
Not really that kind of bike.
Good and stable at high speeds.
A relaxed ride.
Stable and confidence inspiring at slow speeds.
Corners very well.
Sticks really well to corners when descending. Descends like a good mountain bike.
Mostly climbs OK if in the saddle. Out of the saddle the steering becomes unwieldy and difficult to control, with some oscillation.
The drivetrain
A little on the mechanical feeling side.
Had some problems with spot rust even with care and attention.
Not the lightest, but fine for the rest of the bike.
Wheels and tyres
Great versatile tyres and wheels, easily capable of on or off road use.
High quality and should last well.
Solid and well built, rather than light, but by no means heavyweight.
Extremely comfortable on or off-road.
Good value.
Tell us some more about the wheels and tyres.Did they work well in the conditions you encountered? Would you change the wheels or tyres? If so, what for?
Both wheels and tyres worked equally well on and off-road. A good balance between comfort, rolling resistance and grip.
Not the slickest, but do the job just fine.
Easy to use and nicely positioned.
Good reliable control components.
Tell us some more about the controls. Any particularly good or bad components? How would the controls work for larger or smaller riders?
Everything nicely positioned and considered for female riders needs.
Your summary

Mercedes-Benz Classic
Preserving our past for enjoyment today
For some, devotion means holding on to their very first Mercedes-Benz forever, the years and miles rolling on. For others, it means tracking down the rare part that finally makes their car period correct. But whatever it means—to you or to anyone else—it's the reason why our Classic Center exists.
- Learn more about > For Enthusiasts
From basic upkeep to full restorations, we service every classic Mercedes-Benz ever made.
When you drive a vintage Mercedes-Benz, you develop more than just a working knowledge of it. You become familiar with it in a way that engenders a sense of when things are going well, or when they´re not quite right. At the Classic Center, our expert craftsmen share that same mechanical intuition along with restoration knowledge of unequaled scope and detail.From frame-off restorations to simple oil changes, our team has the unmatched technical expertise required to rebuild anything from the mechanical direct injection system in a 300SL, to return the body of a 190SL to factory-new condition, or even to resurrect a unique pre-war 150 Sport Roadster. Why do we do this? Because the same superior engineering that makes your classic Mercedes-Benz run for decades also fuels our devotion to a lifetime of factory-backed service.
There's a classic Mercedes-Benz out there meant for you, and we can find it.
From well-maintained daily drivers to complete restorations done by our own factory-trained experts, the Classic Center features an ever-changing selection of vintage cars. Of course, if you're looking to sell, we're always in the market. Whether a low mileage museum piece or a bona fide barn find, let us know. If it's the right car, it could well be the one for us.
Whatever you need, it´s backed by a warranty and good advice.
No other car company can match Mercedes-Benz in providing parts and support for heritage models. From the smallest washer to an entire carburetor assembly, Mercedes-Benz not only continues to manufacture a myriad of spare parts, but also backs them with the same warranty as parts for brand new models.
Undisputed Quality
Whether it´s a 1954 300SL or a 1979 300D, every Mercedes-Benz is an engineering masterpiece, and there´s only one way to care for a masterpiece. Be it a syncro ring or a connecting rod, every part we sell is guaranteed to be of the highest quality and authentic.
Unmatched Knowledge
What does a 230SL built in July of 1963 have that one built in October of the same year doesn´t? When looking for vintage parts, you´ll need someone who knows the difference, and the Classic Center staff is without equal in its Mercedes-Benz expertise.
Unrivaled Selection

Emerald Greens With Orange
Makes 4 servings
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp dried cranberries
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
6 cups stemmed and chopped Swiss chard, in bite-size pieces
¼ tsp sea salt
½ tsp orange zest
¼ tsp maple syrup
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, then add the garlic, red pepper flakes, cranberries and orange juice, and sauté for 30 seconds, just until aromatic. Add the chard, salt and zest, and sauté until the color of the chard begins to darken and intensify. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the greens to a bowl, then bring the liquid in the pan to a boil. When the liquid shrinks in from the sides to the pan and thickens a bit, stir the greens back in, then stir in the maple syrup. Serve immediately.
This dish's flavor is greatly intensified by reducing the liquid in the pan. So take the time to perform this step; your taste buds will be rewarded. One trick to preparing the greens is ripping them off their tough stems to make them easier to eat and digest. You can chop the chard stems into small pieces and add them to the pan earlier so they have a chance to cook more.
Omit the cranberries and sprinkle 2 Tbsp of ruby red pomegranate seeds over the greens just before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.

NEW YORK – UMBC women's lacrosse's junior Alyssa Semones (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) registered a game-high four goals on five shots, including a critical score that stopped a late run by Columbia, as the Retrievers held off the Lions, 10-8, in non-conference action on Wednesday evening at Robert K. Kraft Field.
Semones added four ground balls in the victory, while junior Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) and senior Kristen Bilney (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) chipped in two scores apiece. Sophomore Rachel Benzing (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) tallied her third multiple-assist performance of the season, dishing out three helpers for the Retrievers, while goalkeeper Anna Barnett (Midland, Texas/Midland) returned to the starting lineup and made a career-high 10 stops in the victory.
UMBC snaps a two-game skid to improve to 6-6 on the season, while Columbia has fallen in three of its last four contests to drop to 3-6 on the year.
It was all Retrievers in the first half, as UMBC broke a scoreless tie on a goal from red-shirt junior Ali Carpenter (Baltimore, Md./McDonogh/Loyola) 9:08 into the contest. UMBC registered two more goals during the next 4:23, one from Wilson and the second from Bilney, to put the Retrievers out in front, 3-0.
Columbia's Taylor Quinn registered the only goal of the period for the Lions with 15:15 to go in the half to make it a two-score game, 3-1, but the Retrievers responded with three more goals. Semones finished on a pass from Benzing for her first score of the day and her 15th of the season. Senior Shannon Harkey (Purcellville, Va./Loudon Valley/Florida) got in on the action, tallying her ninth goal of the year 2:11 later. Bilney punched home her second score of the day on a pass from Carpenter to give the Retrievers a 6-1 advantage at the break.
UMBC held an 11-6 advantage on shots in the opening period, but Columbia was awakened during the break, as the Lions outshot the Retrievers, 21-7, in the second period.
Taylor struck again, her second of three goals in the contest, 7:30 into the second half, scoring on a free position shot for her second of the day to bring Columbia within four, 6-2. Semones responded with back-to-back goals as part of a three goal run, completing her third hat trick of the season. Wilson chipped in with her second goal of the contest to cap off the run that left the Retrievers with a 9-2 advantage.
The Lions did not go down without a fight, scoring six unanswered, including three times over a 1:27 span, to come within one, 9-8, with 6:40 to go in the contest. Junior Kaitlin Brophy started the run, followed by Quinn's third of the day. Senior Paige Cuscovitch tallied back-to-back scores, the second with 8:40 remaining. Senior Ashley Rinere registered her first point on a score 21 seconds later and sophomore Kate Murphy recorded her second point of the contest with her ninth goal of the year.
Semones grabbed the draw control following Murphy's score and put a stop to Columbia's run with her fourth score of the game, her third assist by Benzing.
Columbia goalkeeper Colleen Packer finished the contest with seven saves.
The Retrievers return to America East action on Saturday, April 12 when they host Vermont. Game time is set for 11 a.m. and is part of a UMBC lacrosse doubleheader at the UMBC Stadium.

Cyber-Living. Are We Safe Enough?
We Think That the Security Settings We Put In Place Online Are Safe Enough, But the Reality Is That We All Are Vulnerable to Cyber Attacks
Every day we spend more and more time in front of computers or mobile screens. We check our bank accounts, emails, family and friend's photos via our technologically advanced screens. We organize events online, and we get our news from websites, online videos and Twitter feeds.
Read Also: Bone Up on Safety Online
With all this information in the websphere, we don't really know how safe our private lives are anymore. We check in to places and make this information public, leaving our homes and personal property vulnerable to intruders. We use "highly secure" passwords, such as "password123," to protect our finances. We believe that the security settings we put in place on social media spaces are secure enough, but then once in a while we read reports that say X online institution was hacked and now our personal information is floating in cyberspace. Yikes!
If security is tough for us, what about for corporations or industrial sites? Hackers love getting into places they are not welcome or expected. Our cybersecurity expert and blogger Joe Weiss has reported on many cybersecurity incidents in the process automation industry. If you want proof that we're vulnerable to cyber attacks, read his unfettered blog specifically his entry "Water System Hack—The System Is Broken" and "Are Nuclear Plants Cybersecure?".
Read Also: Are your security practices up to IT standards?
And reassurance is hard to find. This month our online exclusive is a report by Ralph Langner and Perry Pederson published by the Brookings Institution about risk management as a cyber defense tool called "Bound to Fail: Why Cybersecurity Risk Cannot Simply Be Managed Away."
Weiss read the report and says, "It suggests that using risk management as the approach to cybersecurity is not necessarily the best approach to addressing this issue. Neither is the recent approach in President Obama's Executive Order." Weiss adds that it's not a question of if you will experience a cyber incident, but when.
Our editor in chief Walt Boyes also chimed in. He said that automation professionals have an idea of the risks involved in the process industries, but little is known about how to efficiently secure our processes. "We have to worry about cyber accidents, but also malicious activity on the part of hackers from wherever they hail, in addition to simple accidents on the plant floor."
Read the Brookings Institution report along with our experts' commentary at www.controlglobal.com/cybersecurity-fail. Don't forget to let us know what you think of the report and if you agree with our experts' opinions.

Playtex jazzes up bra styles, colors for Millennials
Watch out Victoria's Secret, here comes … Playtex?
No, the Victoria's Secret models won't have to watch their backs, but Playtex, the bra line that many gals associate with their mothers — or grandmothers — is trying to break out of its stereotype as a bra that scores a 10 in support, but a zero in fashion.
Playtex on Tuesday will announce a more contemporary line of bra styles and colors — even one that's a very un-Playtex-like bright red — and plans to roll out a $10 million ad campaign to crow about it.
The nation's 36 million female Millennials are turning the struggling $5.4 billion bra market inside out. They're the only segment with double-digit sales growth, reports research firm NPD Group.
Fuddy-duddy bras won't cut it with Millennials. But, in a plus for Playtex, they may be a bit bustier than the generation before them. Sales of the larger bra band sizes 44 to 50 jumped 17% from 2011 to 2012, and sales of D-cup and Double-D grew 2% in the same period, reports NPD.
To win over any of this younger market, the 80-year-old brand, which saw sales drop 3% last year — more than the industry's decline of 2% — must not look and act its age. That won't be easy for the brand that was the very first bra to advertise on TV way back in 1954.
"In lingerie you need allure," says Marian Salzman, the trend spotter. "How are they going to put sexy into utility?"
One step at a time. Even the models featured in the new Playtex ads are about a decade younger than those in past TV spots. Old ads: 35- to 40-year-olds. New ads: 25- to 30-year-olds.
The color palette is about to brighten up, too. Old bras: three to four colors. New bras: 10 colors — including Persian Red and, yes, Private Jet Grey.
"It's fair to say there are people who think of Playtex as a brand their mother wore," says Tricia Bouras, marketing director of Playtex Bras. "We're trying to demonstrate that while we're still that brand, we now have the style you're expecting."
It's been a long time since Playtex made waves. But back in 1985, it was the first lingerie maker to air a TV spot showing a bra-wearing live model — from the waist up. This is the same brand that became part of pop culture and late-night jokes with bra lines dubbed: Living Bra, Cross Your Heart Bra and 18 Hour Bra.
Now, Playtex hopes to get the last laugh. "There's a general perception that support bras won't be the prettiest in the world," says Howard Upchurch, president of innerware at HanesBrands, which owns the Playtex bra brand. "We've dialed up color and style."
But Salzman, the trend spotter, is skeptical. "They are competing in a category where everyone else is selling desire," she says. "What Playtex is selling still feels functional — kind of like going from selling soup to beef stew."

RNC: Voters see GOP as 'scary'
The Republican National Committee concedes in a sprawling report Monday that the GOP is seen as the party of "stuffy old men" and needs to change its ways.
Among the RNC's proposed fixes: enacting comprehensive immigration reform, addressing middle-class economic anxieties head on and condensing a presidential primary process that saw Mitt Romney get battered for months ahead of the general election.
Story Continued Below
The committee also proposes major improvements to the party's voter database and digital technology, which paled next to that of the Democrats and contributed to the party's losses last year.
( PHOTOS: Republicans on how to fix the GOP)
The suggestions are among dozens the committee makes in what RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has dubbed an "autopsy" of the party's 2012 failures and a roadmap forward. Priebus unveiled the 98-page report at a news conference Monday morning at The National Press Club.
"There's no one reason we lost," Priebus said. "Our message was weak; our ground game was insufficient; we weren't inclusive; we were behind in both data and digital; our primary and debate process needed improvement. … So, there's no one solution: There's a long list of them."
( Also on POLITICO: Right blasts RNC 'autopsy' as power grab)
The report devotes many pages to the need to better connect with minority, female and young voters. Comprehensive immigration reform is a critical first step, it says.
"It doesn't matter what we say about education, jobs or the economy; if Hispanics think that we do not want them here, they will close their ears to our policies," it states. "In essence, Hispanic voters tell us our Party's position on immigration has become a litmus test, measuring whether we are meeting them with a welcome mat or a closed door."
Post-election focus groups with voters drove home the party's shrinking demographic appeal, the report says.
"Asked to describe Republicans, they said that the Party is 'scary,' 'narrow minded,' and 'out of touch' and that we were a Party of 'stuffy old men,'" it states.
Though it steers clear of the gay marriage debate, the report also says Republicans need to be more tolerant of gays if it is to have any chance among younger voters. People younger than 30 cast 5 million more votes for Barack Obama than Romney, it says.
"Already, there is a generational difference within the conservative movement about issues involving the treatment and the rights of gays — and for many younger voters, these issues are a gateway into whether the Party is a place they want to be," it says.
( PHOTOS: It's raining men in the GOP)
The report is long on lists of ailments, but shorter on specific fixes. There are recommendations for better outreach and more focused efforts, but little discussion about the policies and specifics that the party would sell while reaching out to different types of voters.
Beyond immigration, it barely touches on policy. That was by design, according to the report, because it's not the RNC's purview. Still, policy is no small part of the GOP's internal debate now, which underscores the limitations of what a party committee can do.
For instance, there are no references to abortion or Planned Parenthood — or any of the issues that were at the heart of the battle for female voters last year. The report says the GOP lost the "war on women" messaging but doesn't make clear how the party should be on offense going forward.

As part of IRONMAN ongoing race development and improvements, the IRONMAN 70.3 in Shanghai will be using a "Rolling Swim Start".
This method of start has been introduced into several IRONMAN events across the globe with positive feedback and outcomes.
What is a rolling start?
Athletes will line up according to their realistic predicted swim time (self-seeding) and every 5 sec we will allow certain amount of athletes to start. It will take approximately 20 to 50 minutes to get the entire field across the swim start line. Number of athletes and minutes may change according to the final amount of athletes registered.
In effect, this will create a "time trial" dynamic for the race and for the determination of the final results as each athlete's time does not start until they cross the timing mat and enter the water.
How does a rolling start work?
In the morning you have the opportunity to enter transition and do any final preparations to your bike and transition bags. After your final preparations in the transition area you are going to the swim start. Prepare in time to leave for the swim start area and look for the flags held by volunteers that will list total swim times by five minute increments: 25-30, 30-35, 35-40 and so on. For example, if your swim time is expected to be closer to 36 minutes please choose to line up closer to the 35-40 min flag, but if your swim time will be closer to 39 min please line up further back from the 35-40 min flag.
There is no need to tell us your estimated swimming time in advance. Please note that it is your responsibility to line up at your realistic swim speed. If you line up too fast or too slow you chance being swum over and or getting in another athletes way and negatively effecting both your races.
Your time begins to run when you walk over the timing mat. It's directly in front of the water. Whether you start at 6:50 am or at 7:10 am, you always have 1:10 hours for the swimming competition.
Why change to a rolling start?
It is part of the IRONMAN Global Swim Smart initiative aimed at increasing safety and reducing anxiety in the swim.
It allows athletes to swim at their own ability and improves the overall swim experience
It leads to faster swim times
It defuses the drafting problem on the bike course
Do moderate swimmers have any advantage by starting in the front part of the field?
No, it is quite the contrary. If a moderate swimmer starts in the front part of the field, she/he will be passed by hundreds of fast swimmers which poses a needless risk for all involved parties. The cut-offs stay the same (1h 10min swim) and all athletes with a finishing time of more than cut-off time do not appear in the results list.
Only in this way can the smooth and secure flow mainly at ensuring equal opportunities for all athletes!
Start times:
- Start Pro Male
- Start Pro Female
- Start Age-Grouper – Rolling start

Tools required:
Nucleus CMS v3.64
Wordpress Version 3.4.2
I am in the process of moving an old blog from Nucleus CMS to Wordpress and was having a difficult time trying to find an easy way to dump four years of blog posts from the former and importing them into to later. There was not a solid plugin or walk through to take care of the process so I forged ahead and just did a bit of data conversion.
I did a quick scout out and noticed many other people having a rough time at this - mostly they were looking for an easy 'press this button and go' sort of solution and were very uncertain about mucking around in the tables behind the scenes. This will help guide you through exporting data and importing it into the right tables with minimal fuss. I also only imported the three crucial tables to get you up and running. There are some mappings and data you may want to move, but for me this was all I needed.
The gist is copy the nucleus table and data from your existing blog, re-hydrating that table in your wordpress database and just doing a select/insert across to the wordpress tables. For some this is easy hat, but for others it is a pretty daunting move.
So fore-go the plugins and let's go.
A mention up front - this works best with a fresh and empty install of wordpress (no comments, no pages - nada, zip, zero). Having a new install means you can keep the blog post ids and not worry about renumbering them. If you are trying to fold data into an existing post numbering scheme you may run into duplicates and will want to just renumber the id columns from the last wordpress post on. That gets complicated because you will then need to renumber any comments on your posts, etc. Best to start fresh before you add too many things into wordpress.
First create a folder on your desktop to hold all your scripts.
Next log into your mysql 'phpmyadmin' on the Nucleus account. You should have a databse called '_ncls1' - this holds your entire CMS. Click on the database and open it up to see the tables.
Of all the tables there the most important are:
These will correspond with wordpress's:
Let's get to exporting!
1. Click on nucleus_category.
You will see a series of rows that should be your nucleus categories.
2. Click on the 'export' button at the top.
3. It will present you with the 'quick' method. Keep all the options as is and click 'go'.
4. Save the file to a folder on your desktop's folder.
5. You should have a file called "nucleus_category.sql".
Repeat this process for nucleus_comment and nucleus_item.
Pretty painless so far, right?
Now log into the phpmyadmin for your wordpress site. I happen to be transferring my posts from a public hosted site to my localhost test site.
You will see a database called 'wordpress'. Click on that.
Here is all the tables that make up your wordpress back end. Pretty impressive.
The plan is to recreate your nucleus tables and have them filled with data from your scripts, and bulk import that into your word press tables.
From your word press tables view - click 'import'.
Click 'browse' and select the 'nucleus_category.sql'.
Keep all the options as is and click 'go'.
You should see a green message indicating 'Import has been successfully finished' and your 'nucleus_category' table appear in the list.
Click 'browse' and repeat this process for the other two tables.
You should three nucleus tables at the top of your wordpress tables. Feel free to click on the tables and browse the data to make sure it is all in the right columns.
Here's the critical part of the tutorial - importing the data from one table to another.
Let's start easy with moving the 'nucleus_category' data into the 'wp_terms' table. The match up here is simple:
nucleus_category.catid -> wp_terms.term_id
nucleus_category.cname -> wp_terms.name
nucleus_category.cdesc -> wp_terms.slug
nucleus_category.cname -> wp_terms.name
nucleus_category.cdesc -> wp_terms.slug
nucleus_category.cblog is not needed.
At the top of the page click the 'sql' tab.
Copy the insert statement into the query window.
Click 'go'.
The insert statement:
INSERT INTO wp_terms(term_id, name, slug) SELECT catid, cname, cdesc FROM nucleus_category
Click on the 'wp_terms' and verify your data is there. Score!
We are going to repeat that same process for the items and the comments.
For the comments here's how the fields line up:
nucleus_comment.cnumber -> wp_comments.comment_ID
nucleus_comment.cbody -> wp_comments.comment_content
nucleus_comment.cuser -> wp_comments.comment_author
nucleus_comment.cemail -> wp_comments.comment_author_email
nucleus_comment.citem -> wp_comments.comment_post_ID
nucleus_comment.ctime -> wp_comments.comment_date
nucleus_comment.cip -> wp_comments.comment_author_IP
nucleus_comment.cbody -> wp_comments.comment_content
nucleus_comment.cuser -> wp_comments.comment_author
nucleus_comment.cemail -> wp_comments.comment_author_email
nucleus_comment.citem -> wp_comments.comment_post_ID
nucleus_comment.ctime -> wp_comments.comment_date
nucleus_comment.cip -> wp_comments.comment_author_IP
Not used:
The insert statement:
INSERT INTO wp_comments (comment_ID, comment_content, comment_author, comment_author_email, comment_post_ID, comment_date, comment_author_IP) SELECT cnumber, cbody, cuser, cemail, citem, ctime, cip FROM nucleus_comment
The tricky one is going to be the posts. First - for some reason wordpress uses character strings where I would have used small ints and bits. For example the 'post_status' column. Instead of 1 = publish, 2 = draft, 3 = inherit they used the whole words. A bit less efficint to join off of, but it happens.
The second reason is nucleus has a defined "ibody" and "imore" if you want to have a 'continue reading' link. Wordpress doesn't so we need to combine those two columns.
The third - I am going to import all of the comments under my account - user 1. That's why the author will be '1' in the query.
The important columns to line up:
nucleus_item.inumber -> wp_posts.ID
1 -> wp_posts.post_author
nucleus_item.itime -> wp_posts.post_date
nucleus_item.ibody, nucleus_item.imore -> wp_posts.post_content
nucleus_item.ititle -> wp_posts.post_title
nucleus_item.idraft -> wp_posts.post_status
1 -> wp_posts.post_author
nucleus_item.itime -> wp_posts.post_date
nucleus_item.ibody, nucleus_item.imore -> wp_posts.post_content
nucleus_item.ititle -> wp_posts.post_title
nucleus_item.idraft -> wp_posts.post_status
Not used: everything else.
The insert statement:
INSERT INTO wp_posts (ID ,post_author ,post_date ,post_content ,post_title ,post_status) SELECT `inumber`,1,`itime`,concat(`ibody`, `imore`),`ititle`,CASE when idraft = 1 THEN 'draft' else 'publish' end FROM nucleus_item
The final bit of business is to set up the relationship between your posts and your terms.
Run this query in the SQL window and you will insert the relationship between the term id and your post for wordpress.
insert into `wp_term_relationships` (`object_id`, `term_taxonomy_id`) SELECT `inumber`,`icat` FROM `nucleus_item`
That should wrap things up. You can view your wordpress site and see it filled with posts, comments, and categories. You should drop the nucleus tables by click on the table name and then clicking on 'drop. Be very certain you are not dropping a wordpress table. If you do that you'll need to recreate the table through a new install or by hand.

Stone: Urges all gun-owning Americans to write their reps
I am writing to inform all that the slippery slope of gun control has already begun. I tried to obtain a rocket-propelled grenade launcher and found that these could not be legally purchased. Much to my dismay, I learned that bazookas and even machine guns were outlawed by our overreaching and out-of-control government. How will I be able to defend myself? I have not had the time to research this, and have not yet watched Fox News to verify why this is so, but I am reasonably sure that these infringements on our liberty are Obama's doing.
I am asking all freedom-loving, gun-owning Americans to write their representatives. Ask them to stop our government from taking away our constitutional right to own the weapons of our choice.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

Key Sharia Principles and Prohibitions in Islamic Finance
Sharia law differentiates Islamic finance from conventional finance. The Islamic financial system is constructed on economic concepts specified by sharia — a code of conduct that guides Muslims (the followers of Islam) in social, economic, and political matters. Sharia promotes balance and justice and discourages behaviors of excess. Some of the core ideas promoted by sharia include the following:
Allah (God) is the owner of all wealth. Humans are merely the trustees of wealth, which belongs to Allah. Humans must manage wealth according to Allah's commands, which promote justice and prohibit certain activities, including wasting or destroying resources. Muslims have the right to enjoy whatever wealth they acquire and spend in sharia-compliant ways.
Material pursuits must be balanced with an individual's spiritual needs. A Muslim's economic activities and pursuit of wealth should balance with the spiritual aspects of life. Economic activity conducted according to sharia is, itself, an act of worship, but finding balance between economic activities and spirituality is key. A Muslim is expected to seek moderation in the material world — to avoid being either miserly or too materialistic.
An individual's needs must be balanced with society's needs. A Muslim needs to consider society in general when enjoying Allah's bounties. These considerations include promoting justice in all economic activities, remembering that all people have mutual responsibility for all others, and using the earth's resources wisely.
Economic transactions should take place within a just, responsible, free-market economy. Islam does not restrict economic activity but instead directs it toward being responsible to other people, to the earth, and to Allah. Islam allows for a free-market economy where supply and demand are decided in the market, but it directs the function of the market mechanism by imposing specific laws and ethics. A primary purpose for imposing these laws and ethics is to promote social justice: a balance in which wealth is not accumulated only by a few while most others suffer.
In support of these principles, sharia prohibits business transactions based on the following:
Interest: Riba, the Arabic word for interest, means to increase, grow, or multiply into more than what would be due. Riba is prohibited by Islam because it creates societal injustice; in a riba-based transaction, the owner of the wealth gets return without making any effort, and the borrower carries all the risk.
Uncertainty: The Arabic word gharar means uncertainty or to cheat or delude. Transactions based on gharar are unclear or ambiguous; not everyone involved knows what to expect and can make an informed decision. Gharar exists when two parties enter a contract and one party lacks complete information or when both parties lack control over the underlying transaction.
Gambling: Two Arabic words — maysir and qimar — refer to transactions that involve gambling. Maysir is the acquisition of wealth by chance instead of by effort. Qimar refers to a game of chance. Both types of transactions are based on uncertainty; no one can know how a gamble will pay off.
Prohibited products and industries: Islam prohibits products and industries that it considers harmful to society and a threat to social responsibility. Examples include alcohol, pork, prostitution, pornography, tobacco, and any products based on uncertainty or gambling.

As the Academy Awards approach, the various guild awards and critics groups' honors often provide insight into prevailing Oscar sentiments. In this year's race for Oscar gold, however, momentum has repeatedly swung back and forth among what might be called the season's Big Three: "12 Years a Slave," "Gravity" and "American Hustle."
The three-way race started to heat up with the Golden Globes last week as the three major prizes were spread among those three films. David O. Russell's 1970s con story "American Hustle" won for best comedy or musical, Steve McQueen's historical drama "12 Years a Slave" won for best drama, and "Gravity" helmer Alfonso Cuaron won best director.
The Globes have a spotty record as Oscar predictors, however, because the members of Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., which hands out the Globes, don't overlap with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
PHOTOS: Oscars 2014 top nominees
Over the weekend, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Producers Guild of America Awards had a chance to clarify the race but instead gave reason for all three contenders to be hopeful — and to remain wary of the competition.
At the SAG Awards on Saturday, the evening's top prize, the award for best cast, went to "American Hustle." In doing so, "Hustle" beat out "12 Years Slave," while "Gravity" did not receive a nomination, likely because it's not an ensemble picture.
The cast award is considered a bellwether of the Oscar race for best picture because many SAG members overlap with the academy's actors branch, the largest voting bloc in the organization. Still, that record is far from perfect: Over the past 10 years, the SAG cast award has correctly predicted the Oscar for best picture six times, including "Argo," "The King's Speech," "Slumdog Millionaire" and "No Country for Old Men." Recent discrepancies include "The Help" and "Inglourious Basterds" winning the SAG Award while the Oscars those years went to "The Artist" and "The Hurt Locker."
A day after the SAG Awards, the PGA threw a curveball when it announced that its top honor, the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of a Theatrical Motion Picture, would be shared by two films: "Gravity" and "12 Years a Slave." The tie marked a first in the category in PGA history.
PHOTOS: Oscars 2014 nominee reactions
Because the PGA uses the same preferential voting system as the academy, its top prize is considered a reliable predictor of the Oscar for best picture. The PGA award has correctly predicted the past six Oscar winners for best picture, including all five since the academy expanded the ballot to accommodate more than five films in 2009. The tie doesn't bode well for "Hustle," because it means the film came in, at best, in third place in PGA voting.
There is one more guild awards ceremony this week, and it happens to be the one with the most accurate record as a best-picture prognosticator. The film directed by the winner of the Directors Guild of America's top prize has gone on to claim best picture at the Oscars all but 13 times in the last 65 years. Russell, Cuaron and McQueen are all nominated for the DGA Award.
The DGA Awards will be held Jan. 25, and the Academy Awards will be held March 2.

Pope Francis is urging Venezuela's government and its opponents to put aside their political differences and demonstrate the necessary courage to reach an agreement that ends weeks of violent protests.
Francis' written message was read by the Holy See's representative in Venezuela, Aldo Giordano, at the start of a much-anticipated meeting Thursday night between President Nicolas Maduro and key members of the opposition.
The Vatican is sponsoring the first talks aimed at reconciliation since protests began in early February. The negotiations are marked by widespread mistrust on both sides.
Maduro's opponents blame his socialist government for destroying the oil-rich economy and stamping out dissent. Meanwhile Maduro claims he's the target of U.S.-backed coup attempt.

Many individuals attempt to do their own personal house repairs. You can actually examine instructions and videos on the web and try to handle a repair themselves. In terms of roof repair and substitute, even so, employing a roof structure expert is worth it. Online Marketing
A professional roofer has several years of encounter. No video can provide the skills the emanates from many years of training and employ. A specialist roofer also is aware of the materials and resources found it necessary to complete the task properly. Roof covering is far more intricate that it initially looks and lacking a compact point can result in issues later on. A skilled roofing contractor will also know where by to find the root in the difficulty, what triggered the drip or harm in the first place. An experienced roofing company is going to be licensed and covered with insurance. New roofs set up by a professional roofing company come with warranties. Do it yourself tasks can't get help for malfunctioning operate or components.
Intricate that
- Restoration or exchanging a household roof is a big work..
Climbing on a roof top is hazardous function. Drops from roofs can be a popular event. An expert roofing contractor is trained in the proper way to move materials towards the rooftop and it has each of the basic safety gear and practical experience necessary to do the job securely. Roofing Contractor
Restoration or exchanging a residential roof is a big job. It may take an experienced roof covering staff 2 or more days and nights to end a home. A Do-it-yourself job is going to take much longer because it lacks the correct equipment, gear, know-how, and person power. A DIYer must look up recommendations and reference research components when a specialist currently knows how to have the job accomplished. Not merely is to get it carried out easily far more convenient, but the roof is subjected during the process, which could lead to further more or creating troubles. Self Storage
And person
Doing it yourself, as opposed to working with a expert contractor doesn't save just as much funds as it could seem to be. Roof businesses could possibly get supplies at a reduced price therefore they get better good quality supplies for your dollar. A Build-it-yourself project will likely demand getting new instruments. You can find long term costs caused by faults, incorrect resources and installation. Skillfully roofed residences have a lot fewer upkeep costs over time.
Expert contractor doesn't save
If you have a possible chance you will end up offering your home in coming years, getting a skilled skilled roofer contributes benefit to your home. Along with style and curb appeal, a home inspector will recognize a professionally set up roof structure. Warranties will exchange for the new owner and they will also have access to the information about the roof's materials and building. These things give prospective buyers assurance for that reason making your own home more desirable. House Cleaning
- Climbing through to a roof top is.
- Repair or swapping a residential roof is an important work. It can take an experienced.
- A professional roofer has years of encounter. No movie can give you the data the.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- On the heels of PBS' hit Mister Rogers video mashup, a second public TV favorite is getting the star treatment.
PBS said Thursday it has posted a video remix with clips from "The Joy of Painting" instructional series, featuring the late Bob Ross.
The "Happy Painter" remix is from John Boswell, who created the "Garden of Your Mind" video tribute to Fred Rogers. That mashup of clips from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" has been viewed nearly 6 million times on YouTube.
"The Joy of Painting," still seen in repeats, aired on PBS from 1983 to 1994 with its bushy-haired, mellow-voiced host. Ross died in 1995 of cancer at age 52.
The two PBS Digital Studios mashups are the start of a "PBS icons remixed" series that's intended to get people talking about public TV and to support their local PBS stations.
Boswell, also known as Melodysheep, has done autotuned video pieces featuring prominent scientists including Neil deGrasse Tyson and the late Carl Sagan.

EDITOR WES RAYNAL: I've gone on record dozens of times saying how much I love this chassis and engine combination in the 2011 Audi A3. I do think it's a little pricey, but this is a nice little car if you're willing to part with the extra dough to move up from a Volkswagen to what an Audi will cost you.
The build quality is among the best in the biz (the back seat is a little tight), it's the right size and it's plenty fast enough. It drives like a little sportster around town. Jump on the gas from a light and there is a little bit of turbo lag at the lower revs, but boost builds quickly and the engine has good response above 3,000 rpm. It drives like a bigger car on the freeway. It's clearly tuned for autobahn speeds. Composed is the word that comes to mind.
The seats are above average, and I found a nice comfortable driving position.
I enjoyed my drive in the A3; I always do. But I don't see one tempting me away from a Volkswagen GTI.
DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: If you need a car without a third pedal, it's hard to go wrong with this combo--it's one of my favorite small-car powertrains. The torque of the turbocharged four-cylinder really moves the A3 along with authority, and once you've driven the S tronic six-speed you'll wonder how other manufacturers can get dual-clutch transmissions so wrong. (Ford, I'm looking at you.)
Inside, the Audi feels upscale but not overly so. What was a premium small-car interior two years ago is now just competitive, thanks to the onslaught of upgraded compacts such as the Ford Focus. Similarly, interior room is nothing special. Despite its almost wagon-esque exterior design, this is a compact hatch, a truth immediately apparent as soon as one pops the fifth door.
Perhaps the larger problem is that the Audi A3 really is priced at a premium to other really good small cars. More than $31,000 for a vehicle in this category stings a bit, particularly when as much as $1,500 of that price is wrapped up in options such as metallic paint, heated seats and Bluetooth capability, which I'd expect to find included in a compact with a base price just shy of $30,000.
I'd imagine that's why I see so few A3s on the road. Most folks cross-shopping them probably end up either swallowing the few extra grand to move up to an A4 or they look at other larger competitive options at the same price point. As Wes mentioned, squeezed between the GTI and the A4, it's hard to make a solid case for an A3.
NEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: The reflexes of this 2011 Audi A3 Premium are outstanding. It drives with the energy and athleticism of a car that wants to be driven and has guts. The chassis is composed and sporty, and the steering has a light but pleasing response. It's a fun, practical thing to drive.
I found myself tossing it into corners and pushing it, just because it's a fun thing to do on a late summer morning as the sun slowly rose. This powertrain is outstanding, with plenty of power low in the band and a hefty dose of torque served up in enjoyable fashion. I knifed in an out of traffic with ease and jetted through congestion on the expressway. The driver is close to the ground, connected and invigorated. Frankly, it feels lighter than 3,200 or so pounds.
If we have to accept smaller cars, this is a good one. Still, I'd say the interior is just OK. As Stoy notes, cabin furnishings have gotten so much better; this is just solid. Not bad, but solid. Overall, this would be a great runner for daily commutes.
2011 Audi A3 2.0 TFSI Premium
Base Price: $29,625
As-Tested Price: $31,200
Drivetrain: 2.0-liter turbocharged I4; FWD, six-speed dual-clutch sequential manual

Curb Weight: 3,296 lb
Fuel Economy (EPA/AW): 24/23.4 mpg

Sung in French with full baroque orchestra, vocal leads, chorus, and the genius puppetry of Squallis Puppeteers." The singers will be with the orchestra while giant puppets act out all the action on stage.

The main function of the lymph system is to isolate toxins and filter them out of the body. Because lymph fluid moves slowly, inactivity can seriously restrict its flow. Muscle contraction (as in the diaphragm with deep breathing), and manual manipulation (as in massage), are the primary means for our lymph to circulate and drain from the body. The more you can do to assist your body in important tasks, the better it will perform.
There are also great benefits to be achieved spiritually and mentally from self massage. Women come in all shapes and sizes, and too often we criticize ourselves or wish we were different somehow. Loving ourselves just as we are is as much a part of being healthy as nutrition and exercise. Massage can be relaxing, relieve stress, create body awareness, and bring you more in tune with yourself. It's a simple practice that can have a big impact on your health and well-being.
Each oil in Healthy Girls Breast Oil has a specific purpose to work synergistically to improve breast health:
Lemon – With an invigorating scent, lemon is high in the nutrient d-limonene, improves the immune system, and helps with cellulite and lymphatic cleansing.
Sweet Orange – Also rich in d-limonene, orange has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth. It improves the immune system, promotes tissue repair and has an uplifting aroma to reduce depression.
Lavender – This restorative, relaxing oil is used for holistic balancing. It aids in relaxing the nerves, relieving headaches, reducing high blood pressure, and improving skin conditions.
Geranium – Opening up the liver to discharge toxins, geranium balances skin, circulatory and emotional conditions by helping regenerate tissue and nerves.
Frankincense – Helping to strengthen the immune system, frankincense wards off infection and oxygenates cells.
Nerolina – This soothing, softening oil helps to balance and detoxify as an antibacterial and antifungal.
Marjoram – Known in folklore as "Joy of the Mountains," marjoram aids to warm the body and ease congestion in tissues which can be a cause of pain. It is calming, relaxing and known to increase longevity.
Rose Demascena – Beautiful for the skin, this oil brings a feeling of well-being and unconditional love to the body. It also aids in circulation and emotional balance.

The Jura Capresso IMPRESSA C9 One Touch Automatic Coffee Center is a very nice super automatic espresso machine. Sleek black and silver looks and a stainless steel vacuüm thermal container make this machine stand out as a conversation piece for any kitchen or small office space.
The Jura Capresso IMPRESSA C9 comes with the all the standard "coffee-tech". Meaning you put the beans in, it grinds them, pre-soaks the beans with the right temperature blast of filtered water, pauses and presses the coffee under just the right pressure to extract that wonderful thick crema that lets you know things are being done right.
The IMPRESSA C9 One Touch grinds from 5 to 16 grams of coffee and will go from mild to extra strong on the settings side. You can select from cappuccino, café mocha, or latte with just one button without moving the cup. The thermal container will hold milk cold for up to eight hours so you don't really have to worry about it at all (assuming you have moderate use, you will be refilling it before those 8 hours are up and all you have to do is remember to throw it in the fridge at night).
Features and Benefits
- One Touch Cappuccino, froth and steams milk, grinds, tamps and brews the coffee for
a perfect cappuccino or latte right into your cup, just with one touch of a button… without moving the cup.
- 14 oz. stainless steel vacuüm thermal container keeps cold milk cold for up to 8 hours.
- Two step pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the ground coffee. Maximum
flavor extraction with perfect crema topping.
- The IMPRESSA C9 One Touch grinds from 5 to a maximum of 16 grams of coffee from mild to
extra strong.

- All beverages can be changed during brewing or re-programmed to your specific taste.
- 64 oz. removable water container. Good for 40 espresso at a time.
- Integrated professional solid steel conical burr grinder for consistent and aroma saving grinding. Six settings allow you to adjust the fineness for all kinds of beans – from light to dark roasts.
- 8 oz. bean container. Grind up to 30 portions of coffee before refilling.
- CLEARYL Water Care System. Removes chlorine, lead, aluminum and copper from your tap water for a better tasting coffee. A special organic additive removes almost all calcium and eliminates decalcifying altogether.
- Electronic CLEARYL cartridge change indicator makes sure that you always have the best water possible.
- Separate funnel for pre-ground coffee. Use for decaf or flavored coffees. The moment you lift the lid of the funnel, the C9 One Touch knows that you want to use pre-ground coffee. It actually asks you via the display to add ground coffee.
- 18-bar power pump with 1450 watt stainless steel lined ThermoBlock heating system. Fast continuous operation for use at home or in the office.
How does this translate to the real world of everyday use? To be honest… it's amazing. There is a downside… you will be drinking a lot more coffee and when you aren't drinking it… you will be thinking of it. The Jura Capresso IMPRESSA C9 is a rugged machine, just like the rest of the Jura Capresso line, it will last for years and give you a lot of pleasure. I really enjoyed reviewing the Jura Capresso IMPRESSA C9 Coffee Center. It has improved my productivity by giving me a lot more energy! 🙂 I looked around for a good deal on the Jura Capresso IMPRESSA C9 One Touch and found a place we know of that has the goods! You can check them out they are called 1stincoffee.com they give you a free pound of coffee with each purchase along with a "Perfect Cup" coffee Mug that looks pretty neat.

Cruise Holidays of Northwest Austin
(512) 338-8880
The breathtaking sight of colorful trees along a stretch of blue ocean is part of what makes fall foliage cruises of New England and Canada's Maritime Provinces so appealing. There are also wonderful places to explore on shore.
Portland, Maine, sits on a peninsula that extends into the beautiful seascape of Casco Bay. It's easy to spend a day exploring the charming Old Port area, which has cobblestoned streets and restored brick buildings from the 19th century. The original occupants – warehouses and offices for the export and fishing industries – have been replaced by specialty shops, restaurants and pubs. Or, enjoy more of the striking coastal scenery by riding a ferry to a quiet island or taking an excursion to a classic coastal village, such as Kennebunkport. If you love walking along a sandy beach, there are several beautiful beaches just outside Portland, some watched over by historic lighthouses.
If you have just one day to spend in Bar Harbor, Maine, it may not seem like enough. There's the rugged beauty of Acadia National Park, which occupies much of Mount Desert Island. Rounded mountain summits made of pink granite peek out from slopes covered with colorful fall trees and evergreens. There are more than 50 miles of carriage trails in the park, perfect for walking and biking while catching glimpses of Frenchman Bay. Mount Desert Island is also home to the waterfront town of Bar Harbor, the charming summer colony that used to be reserved for the very wealthy. Walk along the Shore Path to admire some elegant summer homes and inns, then enjoy lunch in one of the town's many fine restaurants.
Saint John, New Brunswick, may be best known for the amazing Reversing Falls, a natural phenomenon created by strong tides pushing against the outflow of the Saint John River. In a rocky gorge, the river forms rapids and small waterfalls that flow one way during the outgoing tide, then reverse direction during the incoming tide. In addition, there are lovely hiking and biking trails along Fundy Trail Parkway, complete with pullouts that offer spectacular views of the coast. If you stroll through Irving Nature Park before mid-October, you're likely to see groups of seals sunning themselves on the rocks. If you'd rather stay close to the ship, explore Saint John's historic waterfront – look up to see a host of gargoyles and other Victorian decorations on the buildings.
To select your fall foliage cruise of New England and Maritime Canada, talk with your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert.
