In today's modern world, many things are being introduced to man that most of the times can cause his health to falter. Some are products that may cause health problems regarding being infertile and such while others are deadly diseases that kill men without their knowledge. In this article you will get to learn some of it and how men can protect himself from these deadly diseases.
Many kinds of diseases that enslaved men today differ from types and causes of it. Some deadly diseases that kill men were caused by environmental changes while others were inborn with it. Some can be easily treated while others are no longer treatable even with the most advance medicines and procedures. Still these diseases can affect men whether on his work, social life and even sexual relationship with women.
Here are some of the diseases that can be very deadly if left undiagnosed and untreated as well.
- Colon Cancer
This is one of the leading causes of death amongst men today. Most men are not knowledgeable about this disease which left them dealing with it too late most of the time. The symptoms of this cancer most of the time comes out the last stage of cancer which only left him to suffer more without any possible treatments to help him.
But as this disease become alarmingly disturbing amongst men, they started to get yearly screening. Men are now more aware on how to prevent it. This way man may prevent this type of cancer to spread more on his system and to make further damage on his body.
- Prostate Cancer
The next most leading cause of death amongst men is the prostate cancer. According to the latest statistics, 180,000 cases of prostate cancer are being diagnosed in the US alone that means there are 32,000 men dying from this cancer every year.
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that can metastasize to other organs of the body such as bones and lymph nodes which in result can be very deadly for men if left undiagnosed and untreated. Prostate cancer is a very serious disease that can kill men in no time.
Good thing there are now diagnostic tests that can check for possible present of cancer cells on his organ before it can cause more damage to his organ. Through this diagnostic test, men are now aware on how they can prevent it from affecting his body and if ever it already did some damaged on him, he now knows how to deal with it.
There are other deadly diseases that kill men such as lung cancer and even heart attack are the most common cause of men's untimely death. These may be treatable only if diagnosed at early stage. It can also be prevented if men will change his lifestyle.
Deadly diseases that kill men may be prevented if men will only be aware of it. A routine check up or an annual check up can be very beneficial for men in order to gain more knowledge about his health condition.

Every Sunday night, Golf.com conducts an e-mail roundtable with writers from Sports Illustrated and Golf Magazine. Check in every week for the unfiltered opinions of our writers and editors and join the conversation in the comments section below.
1. Phil Mickelson said this week that he'll play fewer tournaments in 2014 and focus on events that will help him prepare for the majors. Is this a sound strategy for Mickelson? Why or why not?
Alan Shipnuck, senior writer, Sports Illustrated (@AlanShipnuck): Absolutely. So often Phil looks like he's just going through the motions. Being "competitively starved" -- to use Adam Scott's term for his scheduling philosophy -- can only help Mickelson play at a higher level.
Eamon Lynch, managing editor, Golf.com (@eamonlynch): Winning the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart a week before taking the Open at Muirfield probably convinced him of the merits of this strategy. But that's a rare situation where the actual course -- as opposed to just the competitive experience -- helps a player prepare for the next major. It's not easy to find ideal course preparation for the Masters or Pinehurst in '14. But Valhalla? He can find that every week on Tour.
Michael Bamberger, senior writer, Sports Illustrated: Phil has more theories than Archimedes and Einstein put together. Actually, I have no idea if that makes sense, but Phil likely does. As for his schedule, the same. On scheduling, I have advice only for Tiger: play Hilton Head, Hawaii, Colonial and Greenbrier. You may or may not win, but you'll have a good time.
Joe Passov, senior editor, courses and travel, Golf Magazine (@joepassov): He's at the age and stage that Nicklaus did the same thing. Unfortunate for Phil fanatics, who will see less of him, but it makes sense to me if it makes sense to him, especially if his aches and pains are an ongoing part of his life.
Gary Van Sickle, senior writer, Sports Illustrated (@GaryVanSickle): If there's been any pattern to when or where Phil plays well over the past two decades, I must've missed it. He seems to play better when he plays a few weeks in a row -- the Scottish and then the British this year. But not necessarily. Phil is a guy who likes strategy. Some work -- two drivers at the Masters. Some don't -- no drivers at the U.S. Open. If Phil's happy, I'm happy.
Jeff Ritter, senior producer, Golf.com (@Jeff_Ritter): Definitely. Playing a limited schedule has worked well for Tiger, although a more apt comparison might be Steve Stricker, who seemed rejuvenated this season after dialing it back. Phil's entering his mid-forties and battling an arthritic condition that likely affects him more than most of us even realize. He has nothing left to play for except his legacy. Now is as good a time as any to slow down and try to peak four times a season.
2. With stars like Mickelson, Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia and Keegan Bradley, the CIMB Classic in Malaysia is now a bona fide PGA Tour event. Right direction or wrong direction for the PGA Tour? Is this a slap at the Texas Opens and Memphises and Greensboros that have trouble drawing the top names?
VAN SICKLE: It's not an event in Asia that is cause for concern. Well, maybe it is. It's another event on the schedule with a limited field. The Tour has too many of those. Playing opportunities seem to be on the decline. Every Tour stop can't be a big-deal extravaganza. A tour has to be built on something, and these events undermine the Tour's own product.
RITTER: It's no secret that golf is discovering a new captive audience in Asia. And for Tour pros looking to bank some cash and FedEx points -- and maybe even see a new part of the world -- the CIMB falls at a nice spot on the calendar. The low-wattage U.S events are sandwiched into the week-to-week summer grind, and they unfortunately face an uphill battle until they can get a date change.
PASSOV: Why is it that everything the PGA Tour does is always about the money? Oh, that's right -- because it's always about the money. When I think of how hard our community in Phoenix works on the Phoenix Open, and think of how the lesser lights on Tour commit all that time, volunteers, many events with 50, 70 and even 90 years of PGA Tour tradition, I'm perturbed (the slightest word I could use). OK, I think it stinks.
SHIPNUCK: Screw the Texas Opens -- golf is a global game and with this two-week Asian swing, the Tour has successfully colonized an important part of the world. And we all get to enjoy good golf in the fall -- what's not to love?
LYNCH: This question arises annually, right around the same time top U.S. players start showing up in Asia for appearance fees. Of course, the CIMB Classic is now an official Tour event, so we know none of these guys are getting a penny for flying a day to get there. They just want a head start on the FedEx Cup standings, right? There will always be Tour events that struggle to attract names for a variety of reasons, but the Tour making stops overseas is not one of them.
BAMBERGER: It is not a slap in the face. It is the market at work.

Imagine this:
Instead of waiting in her tower, Rapunzel slices off her long, golden hair with a carving knife, and then uses it to climb down to freedom.
Just as she's about to take the poison apple, Snow White sees the familiar wicked glow in the old lady's eyes, and slashes the evil queen's throat with a pair of sewing scissors.
Cinderella refuses everything but the glass slippers from her fairy godmother, crushes her stepmother's windpipe under her heel, and the Prince falls madly in love with the mysterious girl who dons rags and blood-stained slippers.
Imagine this:
Persephone goes adventuring with weapons hidden under her dress.
Persephone climbs into the gaping chasm.
Or, Persephone uses her hands to carve a hole down to hell.
In none of these versions is Persephone's body violated unless she asks Hades to hold her down with his horse-whips.
Not once does she hold out on eating the pomegranate, instead biting into it eagerly and relishing the juice running down her chin, staining it red.
In some of the stories, Hades never appears and Persephone rules the underworld with a crown of her own making.
In all of them, it is widely known that the name Persephone means Bringer of Destruction.
Imagine this:
Red Riding Hood marches from her grandmother's house with a bloody wolf pelt.
Medusa rights the wrongs that have been done to her.
Eurydice breaks every muscle in her arms climbing out of the land of the dead.
Imagine this:
Girls are allowed to think dark thoughts, and be dark things.
Imagine this:
Instead of the dragon, it's the princess with claws and fiery breath
who smashes her way from the confines of her castle
and swallows men whole.

Belly Bump Advice
Hey ladies..
I'm pregnant with my first child. Due date is May 23rd. So that makes me 14 weeks.. but why do I feel like I'm growing faster than my weeks? My bump is VERY noticable and is hard as a rock. I wouldn't say I was slim before being pregnant but I did have "love handles". I have met women who were further along than me and I am showing way more than them. One mom-to-be was 22 weeks and her belly was half the size of mine. In my weeks pictures there are differences in each, like their should be but I'm almost worried that something is wrong. Please help with any advice you may have..
Thanks in advance!!

Last night, I almost worked W4ME, whose QSL would have looked great in my collection of QSLs from stations whose call signs spell words. He was working a W2 when I heard him. I waited until their QSO was over before trying to contact him, but he pulled the plug really quickly and never answered my call. Today, however, I worked N4TO and W1IS.
Their QSLs will look good, too–if they actually send me one. A couple of days ago, I heard WA3MIX on the air and got all excited about working him. Then, it occurred to me that I had already worked him. I searched my computer log, and sure enough, I worked him several months ago, and sent him a QSL card, with an SASE for him to send me his card. To date, I've yet to receive a response.
This isn't the only one that I've not received, and I always send SASEs when asking for a guy's card. I'm going to have to go through the log and find out who's not replied yet and perhaps e-mail to get them to respond. Hopefully, a friendly reminder will do the trick.
QSLs received. Speaking of my QSL collection, I received two new ones this week: WA3VAT and WA3OFF. I've paired WA3OFF with K1ON in my QSL holder, but I don't really have a good mate for WA3VAT yet.

We're big fans of people who take a photo and alter it dramatically using effects and overlays and end up with a kind of impressionistic work of art. Aldrin (aka Prisbourne) is great at this, but what really makes this Pic of the Day special is the colorful paint swirl. Surprisingly, that swirl is one of the stickers from Pixlr Express. Totally unique, and we totally love it.

Because I've been a Cougar too long and I'm having trouble with the idea.
-He pays for things; younger boys NEVER pay for things. Sometimes they make you pay for them, which is even worse.
-He doesn't live with his parents. Or in a dorm. Actually he has two apartments which is kind of cool.
-He knows how to kiss.
-He orders drinks for me, which is cool since I never know what to get.
-He's fairly well dressed. Much better than loose pants, t-shirts, and tennis shoes with holes.
-He remembers to tell me I'm pretty. Even when my hair is sweaty and parted down the middle, and my face is swollen from all the cigarette smoke in the bar.
-He can dance! That's probably just a Chilean thing, though. American boys can never dance.
-He's OLD. And in his facebook pictures he LOOKS old, which weirds me out.
-He already graduated, so I feel like that puts us at weirdly different places in our life.
-He probably expects me to do more than kissing, which isn't really in my plans.
-We spend so much time kissing, how can I tell if I like him or not? That's the one flaw in the Chilean pro-PDA culture. God, they love Public Displays of Affection here. I swear I think I saw couples having sex in a park last night.
-He's old. I have to say it again because it's weird weird weird.
-I think he likes sports a lot. Which has nothing to do with his age but doesn't really go with my "no excercise, ever" policy.
Feel free to weigh in on this because I'm really at a loss.

Our edge in forex trading is recognized through our disciplined short term systematic approach toward the currency markets.
Our objective in forex trading is to make bigger gains and small losses with a high success rate (over 82%). With that strategy, I made 5073 pips in just 10 months (Oct 2011-Aug 2012). 30 trades out of which 25 are profitable. With a return of 150%. Achieving a return of more than 150% in a bear market like this shows that I am very good at forex trading.
Do Not Trade Forex.... Until You See
Yes, I often hear from students and members who tell us that our fees are too cheap. I also often hear from prospects who says that our fees are too high, constantly asking for discounts.
Well, who is right and who is wrong that the fees are too cheap or too high? No one is.
How I see it, students who have seen and understand how the profits come in, will definitely say that our fees are cheap, because of the results that they see, and they appreciate it. (Proof of it will be testimonials found on third party sites like, http://forexdna.com/education_revInfo.php?id=38 and our own site, http://tradingeducationprogram.org/category/testimony/)
Prospects who has not seen what we and our students do in order to be profitable in forex trading, will be fearful to commit in $$$, due to uncertainties. So my role is to help them remove the uncertainties and clear their doubts. But seriously guys, our course is 3-4 times more cheaper than more of these "GURU" seminars, and seriously their effectiveness is a big question mark. How do we know? Because some of our students attended these GURU seminars and comparing our system with theirs, ours proved to them that it works so much more better than the thousands of $$$$ courses.
Anyway today, I just want to clarify, our course is not cheap, it is not expensive either. IT is in our view, reasonably priced to benefit both parties. And we will increase the prices until it reaches the value which we truly think it is worth.

With each of the seven games in the Ivy League season holding great importance, the Princeton women's soccer team will head to Dartmouth Saturday after opening the Ivy League season last weekend with an overtime loss to Yale. Dartmouth will also be battling with a sense of urgency, having lost its Ivy League opener to Brown.
If you're attending: Ticket information can be found here. A campus map including Dartmouth's Burnham Field and the Thompson Arena parking lot in the southeast corner of the main campus can be found here.
On Dartmouth: The Big Green took a three-game unbeaten streak into Sunday's visit to Brown before the Bears used a 77th-minute goal to take a 1-0 win. Emma Brush leads the team with four goals, including a goal in each of the two games prior to the Brown matchup. Tatiana Saunders has started all eight games in goal and had a three-match shutout streak prior to giving up the goal against Brown. The Big Green has scored all 11 of its goals in four games (Fordham, UMass-Lowell, Maine, Purdue) while being shut out the other four times (Brown, St. John's, Connecticut, Northwestern). On the series: The Princeton-Dartmouth series has seen one-sided stretches back and forth since it began in 1981. Princeton was 6-3-1 against the Green from 1981-90, but Dartmouth won eight in a row from 1991-98. From 1999 to the present, Princeton leads 10-4. The only tie in the series came in 1985 at Dartmouth, and Princeton holds a 16-15-1 all-time edge.Home sweet home, indeed: The home team has won the last five games in the Princeton-Dartmouth series. The Tigers will be looking for their first win in Hanover since 2007.
League-leading Tigers: Heading into the beginning of the Ivy weekend Friday night, Princeton rookie Tyler Lussi co-led the Ivy League with Yale's Melissa Gavin with 14 points and six goals. Lussi's three game-winning goals led the Ivy, as did junior goalkeeper Darcy Hargadon's five shutouts.More Lussi: Tyler Lussi won her second Ivy League Rookie of the Week award Monday after two goals and two assists in last week's games against Fordham and Yale. She is the first Tiger to win two Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors since Lauren Lazo in 2011 and the first to win two non-shared ROW awards since Diana Matheson '08 in 2004. No Tiger has won three ROW honors.League-leading Green: Tatiana Saunders enters the Ivy weekend with a league-best 38 saves. Last meeting: Tatiana Saunders also played last season against the Tigers at Roberts Stadium, holding a shutout until Lauren Lazo scored goals less than four minutes apart beginning in the 75th minute. Claire Pinciaro '13 had a shutout of her own until Chrissy Lozier scored just 52 seconds after Lazo's goal in the 79th minute. After three goals in 4:25, that's where the scoring ended in a 2-1 Princeton win.
Common foes: Outside of the Ivy League, Princeton and Dartmouth have only Fordham as a common opponent. The Tigers beat Fordham 3-1 last week in the Bronx while Dartmouth won 4-0 earlier last month in Hanover.
Rookies: Six of the nine total freshmen have seen action in at least three of Princeton's first nine games, and three, including Tyler Lussi, Jesse McDonough and Fiona McKenna, have played in all nine games. McKenna is the only one to have started all nine.The coach: Julie Shackford is in her 19th season leading Princeton and has 193 wins as the Tigers' coach. Princeton has played in eight NCAA tournaments under Shackford, who, in addition to being the winningest soccer coach in Princeton history on the men's or women's side, is the third-longest tenured coach in an Ivy League where long tenures are more rule than exception. Only Brown's Phil Pincince (37th season) and Columbia's Kevin McCarthy (20th season) have been at their posts longer among active Ivy women's soccer coaches, and Yale's Rudy Meredith is also in his 19th season.
Going dancing: Princeton advanced to the NCAA tournament last season for the eighth time under head coach Julie Shackford and won a postseason game away from Princeton for the first time in program history. The Tigers won at West Virginia, beating the Mountaineers 2-1 for their first NCAA tournament victory since 2004.
Between the posts: Princeton junior goalkeeper Darcy Hargadon is in her first year as the starter and had just one start, as a freshman, prior to this season. She has authored five shutouts this season. Senior Cecilia Di Caprio got her first career start Sept. 24 at Fordham as the only keeper other than Hargadon to have played this season.
Up next: Princeton will not have a midweek game next week and will head to Brown next weekend. The Bears, at 6-2 overall, are at Columbia Saturday night and will also have no midweek tune-up before facing the Tigers.

FRIDAY, Dec. 6, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Xiaflex (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat Peyronie's disease, an uncomfortable curvature of the penis.
The drug -- first sanctioned three years ago to treat a hand deformity called Dupuytren's contracture -- is the first medication to be approved by the agency to treat Peyronie's.
The condition occurs when scar tissue forms under the skin, causing a curvature of the penis of at least 30 degrees, the FDA said Friday in a news release. This can lead to problems including "bothersome symptoms" during intercourse, the agency said.
The injected drug will be available for restricted use due to significant risk for "serious penile injury," the FDA said. Both the healthcare professional and the associated facility must be certified for use, the agency added.
Potential side effects of the drug and a related non-surgical procedure include bruising, swelling and pain, the FDA said.
Xiaflex is marketed by Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, based in Chesterbrook, Penn.

Myringotomy tubes are small tubes that are surgically placed into your child's eardrum by an ear, nose and throat surgeon (otolarnygologist). The tubes may be made of plastic, metal or Teflon. The tubes are placed to help air enter the middle ear in order to reduce the risk of ear infections and/or prevent accumulation of fluid in the middle ear.
During an ear infection, fluid accumulates in the middle ear, which can affect your child's hearing. Sometimes, even after the infection is gone, some fluid may remain in the ear. The tubes help prevent fluid from building up.
About one million children each year have tubes placed in their ears. The most common ages for placement are from 1 to 3 years old. By the age of 5 years, most children have wider and longer eustachian tubes (the canal that links the middle ear with the throat area), thus allowing better drainage of fluid from the ear.
The insertion of ear tubes may be recommended by your child's physician and/or a ear, nose and throat physician if any of the following conditions are present:
The risks and benefits will be different for each child. It is important to discuss this with your child's physician and surgeon.
The following are some of the possible benefits that may be discussed:
The following are some of the risks that may be discussed:
Myringotomy is the surgical procedure that is performed to insert ear tubes. Insertion of the tubes is usually an outpatient procedure. This means that your child will have surgery, and then go home that same day. Before the surgery, you will meet with different members of the healthcare team who will be involved in your child's care. These may include:
Nurses - Day surgery nurses prepare your child for surgery. Operating room nurses assist the physicians during surgery. Recovery room (also called the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit) nurses care for your child as he or she emerges from general anesthesia.
Otolarnyngologists - Physicians who specialize in the placement of the tubes.
Anesthesiologists - Physicians with specialized training in anesthesia. Insertion of myringotomy tubes requires general anesthesia in children. This physician will perform a history and physical examination and formulate a plan of anesthesia for your child. The plan will be discussed with you and your questions will be answered.
Myringotomy involves making a small opening in the eardrum. A small tube is placed in the opening of the eardrum to ventilate the middle ear and to prevent fluid from accumulating. The child's hearing is restored after the fluid is drained. The tubes usually fall out on their own after six to twelve months.
Follow-up care is needed for your child based on the surgeon's recommendations. Usually, you will return in about four to six weeks, then at four to six month intervals until the tubes come out, the eardrums heal and your child no longer needs tubes. Your child's primary care physician will help manage the care of your child between these visits to the surgeon.
The following instructions may be given to you following the placement of ear tubes in your child:
Please review The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia discharge instructions for Myringotomy with Tube Placement.

DALLAS — Ricky Ledo's tremendously high skill set is not debatable. But simply judging by how he's gone about his business during the first week of training camp, it's obvious that the Dallas Mavericks' shooting guard is still a bit rusty."[He has] high skill level, high ability level, terrific athlete," coach Rick Carlisle said. "And you saw kind of the mixture of things that we've got to kind of work through. "He can get the ball in the basket. But judgment situations, he needs some work on. But that's why we have training camp, and that's why we have exhibition games and that's why we have the D-League that can really help with those things."Playing in the D-League with the Texas Legends in Frisco might be Ledo's destination at some point this season, but the Mavericks know the rookie from Providence has some raw skills that just need nurturing. That's even more evident by the fact that Ledo was a high school superstar in Rhode Island, but didn't play any college basketball at Providence because he was ruled academically ineligible by the NCAA last year as a freshman.Thus, other than his stint in the Mavericks' summer league in Las Vegas this past summer, Ledo hasn't played competitive basketball since the spring of 2012. In short, he has some catching up to do."It was frustrating," Ledo said of being ruled academically ineligible. "It was a dream to play college basketball."It was a dream to play in front of my family, and when you don't get to do it, it's always disappointing. But it's cool, it's in the past and I'm here now, so I'm not looking back."Neither are the Mavericks."If you sit out a year and not play competitively, I think it's going to be a factor, but that's in the past," Carlisle said. "He competed in the NBA summer league against NBA players, he's been here pretty much steadily since August working out, working on his game, working on his body, and so this is a big-picture situation."It's not so much what's going on today. Each month we want to look at his overall progress and say, 'Yeah, he's gotten better.'"A McDonald's All-American whom ESPN rated as the No. 21 overall high school prospect in the nation after his high school senior season, Ledo was drafted 43rd overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in June. But his draft rights were traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, who subsequently shipped Ledo to the Mavericks.On July 24, the Mavericks signed Ledo to a four-year, $3.3 million contract, banking on the notion that he has a bright upside.So, what exactly did Ledo believe he missed by not playing last season?"Just the country [not] seeing me," said the 6-foot-7, 200-pound rookie. "That's the only thing I really missed."That the whole nation didn't get to see me show how I can really play and what I'm worth."The Mavericks, who took Saturday off, are hoping Ledo will one day reach his full potential."This is really the infancy of his career," Carlisle said. "We like him as a prospect. He's strung together about eight or nine solid days in a row, and that's a very good sign."

Business Ideas in the News / April 1, 2014
Here soon you will be able to choose which color you want your rechargeable batteries to come in. Red? Blue? Wired has the latest on a new innovation in batteries: spray on rechargeables!
Lithium-ion batteries are made by tightly rolling up the various battery components in layers before encasing them in rectangular or cylindrical packaging. The engineers, from Rice University in Texas, devised their own unique version of a multilayer battery by painting these individual battery components (two current collectors, a cathode, an anode and a polymer separator) on to select surfaces in layers. These layers included paints made from lithium cobalt oxide (a positive electrode), lithium titanium oxide (a negative electrode) and conductive single-walled nanotubes (a current collector). The special polymer paint blend helped achieve superior conductivity by forming the micro-porous layer required in a lithium battery.
The final paints were layered on to glass, stainless steel, glazed ceramic tiles and flexible polymer sheets — the resulting "batteries" worked just as well as the regular version. The team even picked out a choice ceramic mug, spray-painted the word "rice" in capital letters using a stencil, and demonstrated its efficiency as a battery.

We saw a simple "Hello, world" program in the previous chapter. It used a
puts statement (
puts "Hello, world.") to output a message. Generically speaking, a
puts statement is known as a print statement. Whether or not it contains the word "print," a print statement sends some output to the user's screen or to a file. This is another instance of computer scientists using words differently than the general population. Most people think of printing as sending something to the computer's printer. More and more you are learning to think like a computer scientist.
You can put as many statements as you want in a program. For example, to print more than one line:
# generate some simple output puts "Hello, world." # print one line puts "How are you?" # print another
Also, as you can see, it is legal to put comments at the end of a line, as well as on a line by themselves.
The phrases that appear in quotation marks are called strings, because they are made up of a sequence (string) of letters. Actually, strings can contain any combination of letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and other special characters.
After each line,
puts adds a special character, called a newline, that causes the cursor to move to the next line of the display. The next time
puts is invoked, the new text appears on the next line.
Often it is useful to display the output from multiple print statements all on one line. You can do this with the
# generate some simple output print "Goodbye, " puts "cruel world!"
In this case the output appears on a single line as
Goodbye, cruel world!. Notice that there is a space between the word "Goodbye" and the second quotation mark. This space appears in the output string, so it affects the behavior of the program.
Spaces, tabs, and newlines are collectively known as whitespace. Spaces and tabs that appear in your source code outside of quotation marks generally do not affect the behavior of the program. For example, I could have written:
print "Goodbye, " puts "cruel world!"
This program would run just as well as the original. If I separate the statements with a semicolon, the breaks at the ends of lines (newlines) do not affect the program's behavior, either. Hence, I could have written:
print "Goodbye, ";puts "cruel world!"
That would work, too, although you have probably noticed that the program is getting harder to read. Whitespace is useful for organizing your program visually, making it easier to read the program and locate syntax errors.
One of the most powerful features of a programming language is the ability to manipulate variables. A variable is a named location in memory that stores a value. Values are things that can be printed and stored and (as we'll see later) operated on. The strings we have been printing (
"Hello, World.",
"Goodbye, ", etc.) are values.
The value of a variable has a type that determines what operations can be performed with it, what the programmer can do with it. For example, the integers in a Ruby program have type
Fixnum or
Bignum; you can do arithmetic with them. It will probably come as no surprise that the strings have type
String; one thing you can do with a
String is center it. Types in Ruby always begin with a capital letter.
Ruby comes with several built-in types available for your use. The "Classes" section of the Ruby Class and Library Reference lists the built-in types on the left. Some of what can be done with each type is listed on the right. (For now, you can think of "class" as the same thing as "type.") In Chapter what, we'll see how you can define your own types. (Later I need to explain duck typing and maybe dynamic typing.)
In general, you will want to make up variable names that indicate what you plan to do with the variable. For example, if you see these variable names in a program:
minute, you can probably make a good guess at what types of values are stored in them. The
first_name and
last_name variables probably store
Strings. The
hour and
minute variables probably store some type of number, such as
9 and
45. On the other hand,
hour and
minute might store
Strings: they might store
"9" and
"45"! It all depends on what the programmer plans to do with the values.
In general, variable names in Ruby can contain lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numerals, and underscores. A variable name cannot contain spaces. If you want a variable name of more than one word, place an underscore between the words, as in
first_name. For now I'll tell you, Ruby insists that the variable name begin with a lowercase letter.
We store a value in a variable with an assignment statement.
fred = "Hello." # give fred the value "Hello." hour = 11 # assign the value 11 to hour minute = 59 # set minute to 59
The above example shows three assignments, and the comments show three different ways people sometimes talk about assignment statements. The vocabulary can be confusing here, but the idea is straightforward: when you make an assignment to a variable, you give it a value.
A common way to represent variables on paper is to draw a box with the name of the variable on the outside and the value of the variable on the inside. This figure shows the effect of the three assignment statements:
For each variable, the name of the variable appears outside the box and the value appears inside.
One source of confusion is that some strings look like integers, but they are not. For example,
fred can contain the string
"123", which is made up of the characters
2 and
3, but that is not the same thing as the number
fred = "123" # legal fred = 123 # also legal, but different
I pulled a fast one on you in the code above. Notice in the first statement that I assigned a value to
fred. In a later statement—the next one, in fact—I assigned a different value to
fred. This is called reassignment. One moment
fred contained the value
"123", and some time later it contained a different value, the number
fred continues to contain the number
123 until a later reassignment (or until
fred goes out of scope, which we'll cover in Chapter what).
You can print the value of a variable using the same commands we used to print
first_line = "Hello, again!" puts first_line
This program creates a variable named first_line, assigns it the value
"Hello, again!" and then prints that value. When we talk about "printing a variable," we mean printing the value of the variable. To print the name of a variable, you precede it with a colon. For example,
puts :first_line
If you want to get a little tricky, you could write
first_line = "Hello, again!" print "The value of first_line is " puts first_line
The output of this program is
The value of first_line is Hello, again!
I am pleased to report that the syntax for printing a variable is the same regardless of the variable's type.
hour = 11 minute = 59 print "The current time is " print hour print ":" print minute puts "."
The output of this program is
The current time is 11:59.
A few sections ago, I said that you can make up any name you want for your variables, but that's not quite true. There are certain words that are reserved in Ruby because they are used by the interpreter to parse the structure of your program, and if you use them as variable names, it will get confused. These words, called keywords or reserved words, include
class, and many more.
The complete list of reserved words is available at Zen Spider's Ruby QuickRef. Though the page is incomplete overall, it includes very handy reminders of how to do what in Ruby. The QuickRef will make more sense as you become more familiar with Ruby.
Rather than memorize the list, I suggest that you take advantage of a feature provided in many text editors for programmers: color syntax highlighting. As you type, different parts of your program should appear in different colors. For example, keywords might be blue, strings red, comments green, and other code black. If you type a variable name and it turns blue, watch out! You might get some strange behavior from the Ruby interpreter.
Some Ruby words are so frequently used that, although they are not keywords, you should not use them for your own variable names. So far we've seen
puts and
puts or
Now we're going to switch gears and use Ruby interactively. So far, you've been writing Ruby code in a text file and invoking the interpreter to run your code from start to finish. If you think about it a bit, you should realize that your Ruby program will produce no output unless it contains output statements such as
puts and
irb, you immediately see the result of each Ruby statement you type. That is its power and raison d'être (reason for existing).
Your installation of Ruby should have come with the
irb program. Open a command line window, type
irb (or perhaps
irb.exe on a Windows machine), and hit the return key. Now you're ready to roll. Here is how
irb looks when I start it on my Macintosh:
[pongal:~] elizabeth% irb irb(main):001:0>
The angle bracket (and the stuff to the left of it) is the prompt. You can enter any Ruby statement after the prompt.
irb will immediately display the result of executing that statement. Then it prompts you for another statement.
irb is the perfect place to perform small Ruby experiments. I even use
irb as a calculator. We'll use
irb to experiment with Ruby's operators. To quit
irb at any time, type the
exit command and hit return.
Operators are special symbols that are usually used to represent simple computations like addition and multiplication. Most of the operators in Ruby do exactly what you would expect them to do, for most of them are common mathematical symbols. For example, the operator for adding two numbers is
+. The operator for multiplying two numbers is
*, not the symbol
The following are all legal Ruby expressions whose meaning is more or less obvious:
1+1 hour-1 hour*60 + minute minute/60
Expressions can contain both variable names and numbers. In each case, the name of the variable is replaced with its value before the computation is performed.
Addition, subtraction and multiplication all do what you expect, but you might be surprised by division. For example, take a look at this
irb session:
irb(main):001:0> hour = 11 11 irb(main):002:0> minute = 59 59 irb(main):003:0> "Number of minutes since midnight:" Number of minutes since midnight: irb(main):004:0> hour*60 + minute 719 irb(main):005:0> "Fraction of the hour that has passed:" Fraction of the hour that has passed: irb(main):006:0> minute/60 0
The first calculation produces what we expected, 719. But the second calculation is strange: the value of the variable
minute is 59, and 59 divided by 60 is 0.98333, not 0. The reason for the discrepancy is that Ruby is performing integer division.
When both of the operands are integers (operands are the things operators operate on), the result must also be an integer, and by convention integer division always rounds down, even in cases like this where the next integer is so close.
A possible alternative in this case is to calculate a percentage rather than a fraction:
irb(main):007:0> "Percentage of the hour that has passed:" Percentage of the hour that has passed: irb(main):008:0> minute*100/60 98
Again the result is rounded down, but at least now the answer is approximately correct. In order to get an even more accurate answer, we could use a different type of variable, called floating-point, that is capable of storing fractional values. We'll get to that in the next chapter.
When more than one operator appears in an expression, the order of evaluation depends on the rules of precedence. A complete explanation of precedence can get complicated, but just to get you started:
2*3-1 yields 5, not 4, and
2/3-1 yields -1, not 1 (remember that in integer division
2/3 is 0).
minute*100/60, the multiplication happens first, yielding
5900/60, which in turn yields 98. If the operations had gone from right to left, the result would be
59*1 which is 59, which is wrong.
2 * (3-1) is 4. You can also use parentheses to make an expression easier to read, as in
(minute * 100) / 60, even though it doesn't change the result.
The "Operators and Precedence" section of the Ruby QuickRef lists all the operators and their precedence. Don't worry if much of the list looks puzzling now.
In general you cannot perform mathematical operations on
Strings, even if the strings look like numbers. The following are illegal (if we know that
fred's value is a
irb(main):001:0> fred = "postmodern" "postmodern" irb(main):002:0> fred - 1 NameError: undefined method `-' for "postmodern":String from (irb):27 irb(main):003:0> "Hello"/123 NameError: undefined method `/' for "Hello":String from (irb):28 irb(main):004:0> fred * "Hello" TypeError: no implicit conversion from string from (irb):29:in `*' from (irb):29
Interestingly, the
+ operator does work with
Strings, although it does not do exactly what you might expect. For
Strings, the
+ operator represents concatenation, which means joining up the two operands by linking them end-to-end. So
"Hello, " + "world." yields the string
"Hello, world." and
fred + "ism" adds the suffix ism to the end of whatever
fred is, which is often handy for naming new movements or forms of bigotry:
irb(main):005:0> fredism = fred + "ism" "postmodernism" irb(main):006:0> fredism "postmodernism" irb(main):007:0> fred "postmodern"
Notice the concatenate operator does not change the value of
fred. Rather, using the concatenate operator returns a fresh
* operator works with
Strings provided the second operand is a number, not another
String. The
* operator returns a fresh
String containing a number of copies of the original
irb(main):008:0> fred * 3 "postmodernpostmodernpostmodern" irb(main):009:0> (fred + " ") * 3 "postmodern postmodern postmodern " irb(main):010:0> fred "postmodern"
Several other operators work with
Strings, but here I'd like to tell you about the
<< operator, the append operator. The append operator concatenates the value of a second
String onto the end of the first
String. This operator is different from the others in that it changes the first operand's value. Let's see it in action:
irb(main):011:0> suffix = "ism" "ism" irb(main):012:0> fred << suffix "postmodernism" irb(main):013:0> fred << "s" "postmodernisms" irb(main):014:0> fred "postmodernisms" irb(main):015:0> suffix "ism"
Notice that the append operator changes the value of
fred but not the value of
suffix. You can use the append operator to build a
String in several steps, as shown above.
So far we have looked at the elements of a programming language—variables, expressions, and statements—in isolation, without talking about how to combine them.
One of the most useful features of programming languages is their ability to take small building blocks and compose them. For example, we know how to multiply numbers and we know how to print; it turns out we can do both at the same time:
puts 17 * 3
Actually, I shouldn't say "at the same time," since in reality the multiplication has to happen before the printing, but the point is that any expression, involving numbers, strings, and variables, can be used inside a print statement. We've already hinted at this in one of the
irb examples. Let's look at some code:
hour = 11
minute = 59
puts hour * 60 + minute
But you can also put arbitrary expressions on the right-hand side of an assignment statement:
percentage = (minute * 100) / 60
This ability may not seem so impressive now, but we will see other examples where composition makes it possible to express complex computations neatly and concisely.
WARNING: There are limits on where you can use certain expressions; most notably, the left-hand side of an assignment statement has to be a variable name, not an expression. That's because the left side indicates the storage location where the result will go. Expressions do not represent storage locations, only values. So the following is illegal:
minute+1 = hour.
Who is Tim Towtdi? Nobody, really. "Tim Towtdi" is how to pronounce the acronym TIMTOWTDI: "There Is More Than One Way To Do It," a philosophy Ruby inherits from a programming language called Perl.
Suppose we know that the variable
message contains the string value
"Ruby rocks!". And suppose we want to produce this output:
Listen up: Ruby rocks!
Reviewing the chapter, we can think of more than one way to produce this output using the
message variable:
message = "Ruby rocks!" # a) Step-by-step using print and puts print "Listen up: " puts message # b) String concatenation puts "Listen up: " + message # c) String append operator output = "Listen up: " output << message puts output
Each way has its own pros and cons, and each way is more or less useful in a given situation.
There is yet another way to produce the desired output: expression interpolation. If you type the variable name as part of the string and enclose the variable name with #{}, the value of the variable is converted to a String and inserted into the string at that spot. Say what? I'll try that again. Within the string, the sequence
#{expression} is replaced by the value of
expression. Really, it's easier than it sounds.
message = "Ruby rocks!" puts "Listen up: #{message}"
The above code produces the desired output. Cool, huh?
We saw in Section 2.5 how to produce
The current time is 11:59.
given that the variables
hour and
minute contain integer values. We used a laborious procedure involving several
puts. Interpolation is the perfect solution for producing a combination of string and numerical output:
hour = 11 minute = 59 puts "The current time is #{hour}:#{minute}."
Besides the value of a variable, you can even interpolate calculations within the curly braces:
minute = 59 puts "Percentage of the hour that has passed: #{minute*100/60}"
The arithmetic is performed and the result is interpolated into the
String to produce the following output:
Percentage of the hour that has passed: 98
NOTE: Interpolation works only if the string is surrounded by double-quote marks (
""), not single-quote marks (
'', i.e., apostrophes). That is why I have been getting you accustomed to typing double-quote marks around all your strings.

Integer or

The return of the NFL football season means that there is plenty of football – and NFL betting – action available again, for those who love putting bets on the games as much as watching them. However this does not mean that these fans will be skipping playing the NFL themed online casino slot games. Ultimately, the best of these games still offer a way of mixing NFL and gambling that you cannot get elsewhere – something exemplified by the $5 Million Touchdown slot.
This game takes its name from the size of its top jackpot, and the chance of potentially scooping $5 million by playing it would be enough to entice even those who can't stand NFL! However it is a slot with much more to offer than just that, as the other half of the name comes from the bonus game – a really exciting one where the high grade video graphics throw you right into the heat of an NFL match. The aim is to pass a football from one player to another, in a bid to score a touchdown – with prize bonuses available if you manage to do so. Overall $5 Million Touchdown is perhaps the most popular of the American football themed casino games, but it is certainly not the only one around.
Another very popular title is Pigskin Payout, and the curious name for this slot comes from the stuff used to make footballs, you can click to Download here. Like $5 Million Touchdown, this is a five reel slot, and again you will see plenty of NFL themed images on the reels – including familiar sights like referees, players and cheerleaders – while behind them is a stadium full of cheering fans. This game is also very good when it comes to your payout chances, as the Jackpot Can't Lose bonus game offers the chance to win a payout three times your original bet. Then there are the double payouts triggered by scoring two of the cheerleader wild icons during normal game play, and the 5000-coin payout you get if you score five of these wilds on a single pay line. These are two of the best NFL themed casino games, and either will be worth a spin for any fan of the sport.

Silky and soft, the Craft Active Run Singlet delivers great performance for hot weather running. Racerback design with mesh on upper back for breathability and flatlock seamlines to prevent chafing. This piece is a great go-to for warmer temps.
Comments: This has been my go-to hot weather running top. I'm not comfortable running in just a sports bra in the heat. I was looking for a lightweight, non-clingy, quick-drying singlet that wasn't too short in the waist (I'm 5' 7") and this one by Craft has not let me down. I have other Craft running apparel and they seem really well made. From: Terry, Brooklyn, NY

HP bids $1.6bn on Opsware, $214m on Neoware
Deep in the bowels of Hewlett-Packard's financial department, the person in charge of the company's checkbook has writer's cramp. The hardware maker has announced today the proposed purchase of not one, but two companies. Grabbing the spotlight is HP's $1.6bn bid on data center software company Opsware, followed by the somewhat …
Words, words everywhere and not one worth reading
"The company's CEO Ben Horowitz is full of piss and vinegar about the deal. ... Whether or not the acquisition will truly be forever scorched into the pages of history, destined to be recanted by generations of school children or relived through the strumming of wandering bards and masterful storytellers remains in the air, frankly."

Israeli Police Open Special Probe into Arson at Conservative Jerusalem Synagogue
Police said Monday they have opened a special investigation into an arson attack on a synagogue belonging to a stream of Judaism, which is in the minority and is looked down on by Orthodox Jews.
Three scrolls of the Jewish holy book, the Torah, as well as prayer books, religious objects and furniture valued at several thousand dollars were destroyed Saturday night in the fire.
Rags soaked in gasoline had been set alit by unknown attackers in the Conservative synagogue in the Ramot neighborhood of disputed east Jerusalem, police said.
Although the name of the Jewish movement is Conservative, it is a more relaxed version of Judaism than that of the Orthodox. Tension between Orthodox Jews and those of the tiny Conservative and Reform movements in Israel has been high.
The synagogue's rabbi, David Bateman, said "neither secular Jews nor Arabs committed this act of vandalism. It's difficult to imagine that a Jew could be capable of that."
The attack was widely condemned in Israel. Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau said: "Those who burn books burn men."
The special police units investigating the arson are also looking into a possible link between the attack on the Ramot synagogue and an attack early Monday on a synagogue belonging to a "messianic Jewish" group which believes Jesus is a Jewish prophet.

Wayne, IN
-- The Komets played three games in four nights for the first time this
season winning two out of three for a four-point week. The Komets completed week five of 2012-13
with an improved 7-3-1 overall record and 15 points after 11 games and remain a
point behind North Division leader Cincinnati.
The Komets began the week with a 4-2 win at Toledo
Wednesday to remain unbeaten (2-0-0) against Toledo
this season and followed with a 5-2 home win over Evansville Friday night to extend their win
streak to five games. The Komets are unbeaten against Evansville this season after three meetings
the Fort Wayne win string was snapped as the
Komets surrendered the most goals in a game this season in a 6-2 setback at Kalamazoo. Saturday night's loss at Kalamazoo was the first road loss in
regulation this season for the Komets (4-1-1) and stopped a three-game road win
Streaks stopped—Komet center Colin Chaulk
(7-game point and assist streak), right wing J.M Rizk (4-game point streak and
goal streak) and left wing Josh Brittain (3-game point and goal streak) each
had point streaks before Saturday night's loss in Kalamazoo. Komet goaltender Charlie Effinger suffered his first loss in five
straight appearances.
Streak continued—Right wing Brandon
Marino had points in each game of the week to extend his point streak to an
ECHL season-high eight games (3g, 11a) and pushed his assist streak to six
games (8a). Marino has had points in 10
of the 11 Komet games to date. Netminder
Kenny Reiter returned to the Komets last week after a call-up to Bridgeport AHL
and extended his Fort Wayne
unbeaten streak (2-0-1) with a 5-2 home win Friday night.
4500th game—The Komets skated the team's
4500th regular season game since the Fort Wayne hockey club was
established in 1952 Friday night Nov. 9. The game was marked with a 5-2 win over Evansville as NHL NBC hockey lead announcer
Mike "Doc" Emrick joined Komet broadcaster Bob Chase in the booth to call the
game on WOWO Radio. Emrick was visiting his
native area while enjoying extra time during the NHL strike.
Milestone—Rookie forward Matt Firman
posted his first career point (assist) in Wednesday's 4-2 win at Toledo and scored his first pro goal Saturday night at Kalamazoo. After nine games, Firman is still waiting to
be called for his first career penalty.
First 10—The Komets were 7-2-1 on the
season after Friday's home win for the best start since 2009 when they were
7-3-0 after the first 10 games of the year.
Komet leaders of the week—Brandon
Marino (RW) led with five points (1g, 4a) while Josh Brittain (LW) and center
Colin Chaulk (1g, 3a) each posted four points. Brittain led with three goals while J.M. Rizk (RW) followed with three
points (2g, 1a).
Komet leaders—Marino (RW) leads the Komets
with 19 points after eight games. Brittain
is tied with Marino at the top with six goals while Chaulk is even with Marino
with 13 assists. Daniel Maggio (D) leads
with +9.
Norfolk calling—Defenseman Nick Schaus was been
recalled to the Norfolk Admirals of the AHL Sunday. Schaus appeared in nine games with the Komets
during his stay and is tied with defenseman Daniel Maggio for most assists by a
defenseman with four.
• Friday vs Toledo
Walleye (6-6-1), 8pm—The Walleye make their first of seven visits to Fort Wayne Friday. It will mark the first time a Toledo team skated at the
Memorial Coliseum since April 9, 1986 when the Komets defeated the Toledo
Goaldiggers 7-3. It's the third of 11
meetings overall this season with the Komets leading the series 2-0-0. Toledo
was winless in four straight games before winning two out of three over the
weekend. The Walleye are idle this week
until they bus to Fort Wayne
• Saturday vs Evansville IceMen (3-9-1), 7:30pm--
The IceMen return to Fort Wayne
Saturday for the third of six visits and the fourth of 11 meetings this season. The Komets have won all three previous
meetings with Evansville
including last Friday's 5-2 home win. The IceMen are trying to get out of the North Division cellar as they
trail division leader Cincinnati
by nine points. Evansville
will skate at Cincinnati Thursday before
traveling to Fort Wayne
Hottest ticket in town-- Single game tickets and season tickets are on
sale. Single game tickets can be purchased at the Coliseum Ticket Office
and online at www.ticketMaster.com. Season tickets are
on sale at the Komet office, 1010
Memorial Way, Fort Wayne.

A lawsuit has been brought against the state of Louisiana for its nonsensical and discriminatory use of an antiquated "crime against nature" statute to arrest and prosecute sex workers.
And it is kind of rocking my world.
According to a recent press release, Women With a Vision (WWAV) has brought its campaign for repeal of Louisiana's Solicitation of a Crime Against Nature (SCAN) statute to the steps of the federal court with the lawsuit Doe v. Jindal. Calling the SCAN statute "unconstitutional" on equal protection grounds and "cruel and unusual punishment", the complaint names nine plaintiffs, including a grandmother, a mother of four, three transgender women, and a man, all of whom have been required to register as sex offenders from 15 years to life as a result of their convictions for the solicitation of oral sex for money.
The Center for Constitutional Rights, a Loyola University law clinic, and the bad-ass Andrea Ritchie, Esq., a police misconduct attorney, are representing the plaintiffs.
Louisiana's statute criminalizes the solicitation of oral or anal sex for money, despite the existence of a prostitution law that covers the same conduct. While penalties for first convictions are the same for both laws, SCAN requires second and subsequent offenders to register as sex offenders from 15 years to life. In the words of one plaintiff, "It's like the scarlet letter. I am trying to put that in my past – but it's not gonna be in my past because it's in my present, and it's going to be my future for the next 13 years."
SCAN is the only registrable crime that does not involve force or the victimization of children, yet, as you can see in the graph below, 40 percent of those on the Orleans Parish registry are registered for a SCAN conviction, making SCAN the single most frequent law under which sex offenders are registered in Orleans Parish.
To add insult to injury, and perhaps not surprisingly, the law contributes to further discrimination by being applied inconsistently, in effect singling out poor Black women involved in street-based economies, transgender women and gay men of color. According to the WWAV press release, 80 percent of those registered solely because of a SCAN conviction are African American.
Women With a Vision has three demands for the Louisiana legislature, and I stand behind each of them:
1. Repeal the Solicitation of a Crime Against Nature Statute (SCAN).
2. Abolish Registry Requirements for Individuals Currently on the Registry Whose Only Registrable Offense is SCAN.
3. Expunge All State Records Labeling Individuals Whose Only Registrable Offense is Crime Against Nature by Solicitation as Sex Offenders.
Here's sending support and well wishes to the bad-ass women of WWAV, as well as their awesome team of lawyers, as they do the massively important work of dismantling racist, sexist, sex-negative, and transphobic relics of a broken system.

Breville Ikon BJE510XL
The Breville Ikon BJE510XL juicer's five operating speeds make it incredibly versatile for juicing any fruit or vegetable, from beets to pineapple, celery and bananas. It's sturdy enough to handle frequent juicing, although reviews of cleanup time are mixed.
The bottom line
The Breville Ikon is nearly three times as expensive as the very functional Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro 67650 (*Est. $70), but owners say it's worth the cost. "It is expensive," admits one Macy's reviewer, "but worth every penny. It is the best kitchen appliance I have ever purchased."
This juicer's combination of five speeds and a 3-inch feed chute makes it both versatile and easy to use — in fact it's almost exactly the same as the well-regarded Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL (*Est. $300), except the latter only has two speeds and costs $100 more.
The most versatile juicer of all. The Ikon BJE510XL has five different operating speeds, compared to the one or two you'll find on almost all other juicers. This makes it easy to adjust your juicing speed to suit the target produce — slower speeds for leafy greens and soft fruits, faster speeds for harder vegetables and fruits. Reviewers say that overall, the Ikon is smooth, quiet and fast. The only real caution is that you should place the food pusher over the feed chute as soon as you drop something in; otherwise, you risk having the food shoot back up at you.
The BJE510XL is versatile, although one Viewpoints.com user seems to have taken it far beyond the norm, saying it can even handle ice or cheese. Others stick to more conventional fare, like pineapple, kale, beets, carrots, apples, celery and broccoli. "Fast juicing. Dry pulp," says one reviewer on Macy's website, concisely summing up popular opinion about this juicer. (The wetter the pulp, the more juice the extractor missed.)
The froth separator in the juice jug works well, reviewers say — but the Ikon's stable, quiet juicing may be its biggest success. "It's not constantly making that chopping and/or grinding noise. It also doesn't shake or vibrate," says one user, posting on Viewpoints.com.
Ease of use
Cleanup reviews are mixed. "The feed chute is very large and accommodates practically anything you can think of to juice," says one happy Viewpoints.com reviewer. "It is so convenient and I use it daily," says another.
The consensus is that the Ikon BJE510XL is decently easy to clean. Owners even say that the included scrub brush (for cleaning the mesh basket) actually works pretty well. However, reports on the time it takes are another matter, with some saying that it takes a concerted effort to clean the whole thing. One disappointed owner cites "a lot of cleanup afterwards," although he doesn't say how long it actually took. One bonus is that almost all of the Ikon's parts are dishwasher-safe.
One reason the Ikon juicer is so stable is that it is heavy, and fairly large. One reviewer on Amazon.com says it's aesthetically pleasing enough to display and recommends setting aside counter space to leave it out.
Stands up to frequent juicing. A number of users report juicing almost every day with their Breville Ikon juice extractor; they say it holds up well to the use, although one Amazon.com user warns that if you try to force the lid onto the pitcher without lining it up just right, it'll crack.
We found the usual smattering of stray complaints — one Amazon.com user says the juice collector cracked in two places and now leaks everywhere — but the bottom line is that according to most, the Breville Ikon stands up well to frequent use. One reviewer on Macys.com reports juicing four times a week for three years and says, "It's never given me any problems." The motor also isn't prone to overheating, a frequent complaint about smaller, less-expensive juicers.
