The correct sized bike will improve performance, comfort and reduce the risk of damaging your posture and back muscles. A bike shop should advise you on the right sized bike for your height, but you should also try out various bicycle styles to see which feels best, as design features differ from bike to bike.
Other People Are Reading
Frame Measurement
Most manufacturers determine the size of a bike by the frame size, which is the length of the seat tube measured from the centre of the lower bracket (crank axle) to the top of the seat tube. Occasionally, manufacturers measure from the intersection of the seat and top tube, which can skew sizing charts. This is one of the reasons why you should always test the bike first.
Height Measurement
Measure your height by standing flat against a wall in bare feet. Get someone to mark a line with a pencil on the wall from the top of your head. Use a tape measure to measure from the mark to the floor.
Standing height refers to the distance between the cross bar of a bike and your groin area when you are standing. There should be 4 inches of space for a mountain bike and 2 inches for a road bike.
Frame Size Guide
As a guide, if you are between 4 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 2 inches, you will need a frame size of 13 to 14 inches; up to 5 feet 6 inches tall, you will require a frame size of 15 to 16 inches; up to 5 feet 10 inches, you will need a frame size of 17 to 18 inches; up to 6 feet 1 inch, you will need a frame size of 19 to 20 inches; and up to 6 feet 4 inches, a frame size of 21 to 22 inches. This guide is for mountain bikes; for a road bike add an inch to the frame size.

QuarkXPress 7 has hit the streets, but it oddly isn't a Universal Binary (Steve Jobs, if you remember, announced at January's Macworld event that Quark had a beta UB version available). A UB update to version 7 is reportedly going to be made available later this summer (I guess Adobe isn't the only big software house having trouble). This new version brings plenty of new features to the table including enhancements to typography, color management, transparency (apparently it can do such advanced things as color opacity, drop shadows and alpha channels now), non-destructive mask manipulation, revolutionary 'Composition Zones' which let you design once and use anywhere with live updates, as well as improvements to productivity and collaboration, output and digital workflow and much more. Check out Quark's entire new feature list for the full details, as well as Macsimum News with summaries of what all the new features mean to you.
Quark is also taking QuarkXPress on tour through seven US cities as well as Toronoto, Canada. Take a look at their schedule for details and registration information.

They are great almost in every expect....
By: Julio Rivera
I liked them, the only issue was the steel toe cap that bothers my toe pinkies. I can live with that, but this will get me into finding that perfect shoe that I need. They are Almost percfect for me only if the toe cap was a little longer past the pinkies.

Had these shoes for a month now......
By: ESDEE
Well, after a month in use, I can honestly say that I've worn more comfortable work shoes. While these Caterpillar shoes are well made, I find the soles to be rather thin in their construction and lacking in cushioning. It's rather like walking on gravel for 8 hours. This deficiency promotes that uncomfortable and tired sensation well before the end of a long day on one's feet. I'll not purchase these again.

Getting Around
Your new neighbourhood
Sempione - Fiera
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

L'ORÉAL Color Infallible Eyeshadow - 012 Endless Chocolate This is one of my favourite eyeshadows! It has the creamiest consistency for a powder, is incredibly pigmented, velvety textured and ultra blendable. It's the most beautiful shade of brown, really warm toned that has very small gold flecks running throughout creating a gorgeous shimmer. It works excellently with a finger application too. I highly recommend this range of eyeshadows.
NYX Matte Lipstick - Tea Rose I love this lipstick! This lipstick was the first matte one I've tried and was impressed. It felt creamy on the lips. Highly pigmented, with one application straight from the bullet, it's true to colour when on the lips. It can also be blotted away and still look pretty or can be smudged down to an excellent lip stain. When worn as a statement lip there isn't so much concern about smudging. I hope to expand my colour range, and am very impressed with the price!
MUA Eyeshadow Palette - Heaven and Earth This is such a handy nude palette and such good quality and considering the reasonable price, a bargain too. The shadows are soft with a shimmer that blends well and can also be blended out into a delicate sheen. Very pretty. Apparently it's an excellent dupe to 'Urban Decay's - Naked Palette'.

before it's in the papers" RETURN TO THE WORLD SCIENCE HOME PAGE Possible new human ancestor revealed April 8, 2010 Two partial skeletons unearthed in a South African cave are from a previously unknown species of hominid, or extinct humanlike creature, according to scientists.

Two partial skeletons unearthed in a South African cave are from a previously unknown species of hominid, or extinct humanlike creature, according to scientists. Researchers say the finding is shedding new light on the evolution of our own species, Homo sapiens. The investigators describe the creature as an upright walker that shared many physical traits with the earliest known species in the genus Homo, the evolutionary lineage to which our own species belongs. Dubbed Australopithecus sediba, the newfound species may thus be an ancestor of humans, they added. Paleoanthropologist Lee Berger of the University of the Witwatersrand South Africa and colleagues reported that they discovered the bones in cave deposits at Malapa, South Africa. The remains included most of a skull, pelvis, and ankle of the new species. The two creatures—an adult female and a juvenile male—are 1.95 million to 1.78 million years old, and were found close together in an area long protected from scavengers, leaving the fossils well-preserved, the researchers said. The investigators said the animal also shares traits with another lineage believed to be related to humans—the genus, or evolutionary group, Australopithecus. Therefore the two skeletons could represent a transitional form between Australopithecus and Homo, the investigators proposed. The researchers describe the hominid's physical traits, noting unique pelvic features and small teeth that it shared with early Homo species. Based on its physique, they suggest that the new species descended from Australopithecus africanus, and that the hominid's appearance signified the dawn of more energy-efficient walking and running. The findings are reported in the April 9 issue of the research journal Science. The researchers also identified the fossils of at least 25 other species of animals in the cave, including saber-toothed cats, a wildcat, a brown hyena, a wild dog, antelopes, and a horse. They suggest that the Malapa caves were tens of meters (yards) deep when the human-like fossils were deposited, and also propose that the cave dwelling could have acted as a death trap for animals seeking water. |

A bipartisan group of senators said January 28 that they hope to introduce an immigration bill by March that will require those living in the U.S. "without permission" and undocumented workers seeking U.S. citizenship to pay back taxes. According to the group's framework for immigration reform, potential legislation would create a "tough but fair path to citizenship" for those currently in the country. That process would require the payment of back taxes to secure citizenship. The tax requirement would be part of a broader reform effort that would also include securing the border and creating an employment verification system.

How to Stop Procrastination in 4 Simple Steps
There was a time when I procrastinated a lot. Before we start, let me tell you what procrastination actually is. In simple terms, it refers to a situation when you postpone doing things. You have an assignment to complete by today evening and if you keep postponing it day after day, you can say you are procrastinating on that assignment.
My story begins with taking up a course in accountancy. I was interested in art and design but due to some incredible ideas and reading, I took up accounting. After months of doing nothing, failures began to happen. When I couldn't bear it anymore I started searching for reasons of my procrastination. So, I found that there are two only reasons you might be procrastinating. The big thing is, I procrastinated because of both of these reason.
1. You are not interested in the subject - This type of procrastination is actually helpful. It is an indication that you should be somewhere else doing things you are interested in. When this type of procrastination strikes all you have to do is take up courage and change you path. Better still, make some effort to find interest in the subject you are presently involved.
2. You are distracted from the subject - There may be distractions that are leading to make you procrastinate. The most common hindrances can be something like quick benefits you are thinking about and procrastinating on long term benefits. Here, the key is to take firm decision and constantly stay motivated for you long term goals.
But, I wasn't convinced with that. I needed more proof and more things that could actually help me get rid of my habit of procrastination. I search and learned a lot of new stuff around the web and eventually, followed these 4 simple steps.
1. Surround yourself with non-procrastinators - A group can motivate you. Get yourself around group of people working upon similar subjects. This is how you will not only stop procrastinating but also learn and stay motivated towards your goal.
2. Stop trying to be perfect - Perfectionists are time wasters in real sense. Once they start believing that their subject isn't getting perfect, they start procrastinating. I've done this before and once I stopped trying to be perfect, I emerged as an efficient time manager.
3. Completing worst jobs help you stop procrastination - Try to motivate yourself and complete the toughest job first. I realized that this helps us by simply getting through other small things easily. If this gets done, the rest of your work won't be able to stand before you and make you procrastinate.
4. Conversion experience with failure - Lastly, failure is the only teacher that will make you stop procrastinating. I've am one guy who actually needed failure to understand that I have to research and remove it from myself. So, if I am advising you something that should also mean I'm not being a hypocrite. This is how I put an end to my procrastination.

The Original Droid back on Sale in Verizon Stores
We are not exactly sure why, but Verizon has re-released the ageing Droid phone for sale on it's website. It has been speculated that this re-release is due to excess inventory and perhaps the lower price point may attract some people. However, for $50 more, you can pick up the Droid X, the greatly admired superphone of the summer. At $149, after an online discount and a 2 year contract, it is hard to believe that there is much of a market left for this phone. Another possible explanation could be that Motorola's strategy is to encourage new buyers to use this phone as a 'developer's device'. The original Droid is easier to root than its predecessor. Motorola went to great lengths trying to prevent hackers from rooting the new Droid X by using eFuse technology essentially locking the OS to the ROM. Crafty users have found away around this but perhaps Motorola would like to encourage those who would like to root a new phone and install custom ROMs to purchase the original Droid. Currently there are many more ROMs available for the Droid than the Droid X due to the amount of time each has spent on the market. Anyone out there interested in purchasing a new / old phone for the sole purpose of rooting it?

Dead Sea tourism – what to do in the Dead Sea
For those of you who prefer active holidays, we've gathered the most interesting places to visit and the most exciting activities to participate in.
For those of you who prefer active holidays, we've gathered the most interesting places to visit and the most exciting activities to participate in.
What is the story behind Masada and why is it so symbolic to the Jewish people? If you plan a visit there, make sure you read this article beforehand!
After a day of spa treatments, walks or historical tours, what to do at night? You'll be happy to know there are some great options for evening outings!
The lowest place on Earth also holds many secrets and has played an important role throughout the history of the peoples of the area. If you are curious to learn more about the mysteries and legends the Dead Sea has become famous for, read on
Who was Lot? What happened to Lot's wife? What's the connection to Sodom and Gomorrah? If you've always wanted to learn more about the story of Lot and his wife, this is your opportunity – just keep reading.
The Dead Sea certainly has an intimidating name—downright morbid, really. But is the Dead Sea dangerous to human beings, all things considered?
The Dead Sea is known for being a unique spot and a top tourist destination: after all, the light turquoise lake is the lowest point on Earth, it is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, it is surrounded by a beautiful mountainous area, and its mineral-rich water and mud are known for their numerous health benefits.
One of the reasons why The Dead Sea's name was given to it is that no creature can live in its hyper-salty water. On top of that, the climate in the Dead Sea is characterized by dry air, low precipitation and very high temperatures for more than 6 months of the year. But is it true the Dead Sea is dead, or is there life in the Dead Sea? The answer might surprise you
There are many reasons the Dead Sea is an ideal vacation spot for families, groups, backpackers, etc. It is a beautiful – if eerie – place: its water changes color from turquoise to light blue to gray depending on the weather, peculiarly-shaped white salt crystals are scattered all around, and it is surrounded by red-golden mountains.
So how much salt is in the Dead Sea? A single cubic mile of ocean water contains about 120 million pounds of salt. Put another way, if all the salt were removed from the oceans of the world and spread over the land areas, it would create a layer about 500 feet (150 meters) tall, That's about the same height as a 40-story building.

The Six Dimensions of the CIO
I don't normally base articles on blog postings, let alone a comment to a blog posting, but in this instance, Jed Simms founder and executive chairman of Capability Management in Australia, in replying to this blog posting on IT Business Edge about CIO's having a thankless job, has really nailed down what a CIO's job is all about and the challenges they face.Basically, Simms states there are six dimensions to the job:
The first four are, today, "table stakes," as Symantec CIO Dave Thompson puts it, for even having the title. But the last two, five and six, are where the rub is. While much is written (and lamented) regarding these two areas, they are still the hardest part of any CIO's job to achieve.
"I think (six dimensions) were almost spot on," said Thompson. "The primary job of the CIO is those top four items really."
But to move beyond that "[i]t really does depend on your executive team and your CEO and board and the role that they want you to play."
Getting the business to look at technology as more than just infrastructure; to see it as the business enabler is has become, is difficult at best at many companies and almost impossible at otherseven though report after report regarding best-in-class companies and their use of IThighlight technology as a very important part of their success.
"It is a delicate juggling act which requires the CIO to get the basics right (1-3) and then focus on the business dimensions which many aspire too," writes Simms. "But there is a catch, many businesses only want their CIOs to focus on 1-4; presenting a glass ceiling for further progression. CIOs in these companies must either change the perception of IT or change their jobs."
If you are frustrated by this, you are probably not alone. Most companies today (by some accounts, as high as 70%) don't view IT as a strategic enabler or look to technology as a tool for innovation. Keeping the lights on is enough to keep the CEO happyeven if you want to do more.
"It's a given you have to have a stable infrastructure to run a business today," said Mike Scheuerman, a consultant and former CIO/CTO. "Even if you do have that, it doesn't mean you contributing to the business strategy."
Changing the Game
For some CIOs, this is going to be good enough. But if you are not content to sit still and watch and wait for your c-suite peers to see things differently, there are things you can do.
It's all about communicating the benefits of what IT can do for the business, how it can improve operations, save money, add numbers to the bottom line, improve customer service, impact top-line growth, etc.
The master key is finding the areas IT can have a positive impact on revenues, said Thompson."IT can be really expensive and the CEOs, of course, are watching every penny and I think that's where, as a CIO, if you articulate the value, you can really show the value of that investment, then it starts to change that opinion," said Thompson. "You get more interest from a CEO when they see that there's results that can be achieved by investing in IT."
At Symantec, Thompson employs a multi-tiered review methodology made up of an IT Investment Board, which he chairs, an project management office and, inside of IT, an IT Steering Committee. Working together, these groups ensure that whatever new projects or IT investments under consideration are going to provide a monetary benefit to the company.
"What I've done is brought the business right into the loop of making the decisions of where our dollars in IT are going to spent."
Being Proactive
Scheuerman also agrees with a proactive, teach-them-and-they-will-see-the-light approach to improving IT's visibility, impact and credibility within the c-suite.
"The challenge there for the CIO; he's got to be a PR guy, he's got to be a salesman and understand that's part of the (job)," said Scheuerman. "He has to sell the fact that technology will in fact contribute to business strategy and he has to have ideas and he has to understand the business strategy in order to make that work. And I think there's were most CIOs fail."
While easy to say, this is not easy to do in practice, even Scheuerman admits. To take the proactive high-road, you have to understand the business, not just technology. You have to put yourself in others' shoes and view IT and technology from their perspective, with an eye towards their concerns.
"In my view at least, the CIO job is the hardest executive job around because you have to know everything there is to know about the business and the strategy," said Scheuerman. "And you have to know everything there is to know about technology and be able to link the two together and explain it to people who aren't focused on it, and don't care in some ways, and then turn around and translate this stuff to a bunch of geeks that work for you and say to them, 'This is why were doing this and this is how were doing it'."
But, if you can do this, you will find yourself among an elite and growing group of CIOs who are beginning to realize the 'C' in CIO means more than just a mastery of technology.
"As far as business performance," said Symantec's Thompson, "if the CIO views himself and treats himself and positions himself as a true executive in the company, then business performance should be a part of his job."

Translate Marketing materials and short letters into Chinese
This project was awarded to BettyChen8 for $30 USD.
Get free quotes for a project like thisProject Budget
$30 - $250 USDTotal Bids
18Project Description
Hi! I am looking for a native Chinese speaker and writer to translate some of my company's marketing materials and some personal letters to executives with our partners and potential clients. Whoever I end up choosing MUST speak and write English fluently as well. It is very important that our exact intent is translated to our clients in Taiwan. It is a definite plus if you can provide some insight into marketing techniques or cultural idiosyncrasies to benefit our business.
The ideal candidate is someone from China or Taiwan who went to college in the US or UK. Current college students are welcome to apply.
I am doing my best to not demand the impossible for pennies like a lot of postings here, but it should be fairly simple work for a native speaker.
I am offering $5 for translation of simple one page template letters to our clients. Once a new template is complete I will pay $[url removed, login to view] per page just to make minor changes, eg. change a sentence or two, client names, and maybe a new greeting. We will be creating about 5 or 10 templates over the next two months and will send out dozens of copies to different clients. Once a template is completed it will only take a minute or so to make changes to each copy so the pay should be about 1:1, dollar to minute worked.
Once we have developed a good working relationship there is the possibility of follow on work and larger projects for our marketing department.
Please include a short writing sample in English, not more than one or two pages, but try to make it decent quality so I can gauge your writing abilities. Attention to detail time: please begin your private message with the term "Kherubim Gig." We will be verifying your work with our partner in Taiwan, so poor translations or running it through google translate will not be acceptable.

Investigating the Canadian Partnership Model for Immigrant Integration and Inclusion: Brief Introduction Ryerson Symposium, April 12
Brief Overview of Current Study
Brief Overview – Pod 1 Pod 1 examines the elusive term "effectiveness" which means different things to different stakeholders. By combining a historical analysis of the evolution of "effective" immigrant services with an investigation of current usages of the term from the perspective of all stakeholders, we will achieve a common understanding of the meaning of 'effective' integration policies and practices.
Brief Overview – Pod 2 Pod 2 investigates interprovincial variations in services which may be rooted in the history of different intergovernmental partnerships, different policy decisions taken at the provincial level, different relationships between the province and their service providers, and various exogenous factors. Exemplars of excellence will be presented as part of the outputs from this pod.
Brief Overview – Pod 3 Pod 3 moves towards a different, less studied aspect of the partnership – the role of municipalities and neighbourhoods in the integration of newcomers. This pod examines some of the issues municipalities contend with, such as the undefined nature of their role in the partnership model. Many innovative partnerships and programs have been initiated by municipalities; some of them will be examined and presented as exemplars.
Brief Overview – Pod 4 Pod 4 focuses on one of the most studied aspects of the partnership, the role of the immigrant serving NGOs; however it looks at them in a novel way, examining their role in helping immigrants and racialized communities to bridge to the general community and/or to bond with their own communities.
Brief Overview – Pod 5 Pod 5 involves an extensive literature review and critical evaluation of various models of integration and social service provision as practiced in both in Canada and abroad. This literature review will be augmented by an empirical investigation of mixed model services in different parts of Canada.
Brief Overview – Pod 6 Pod 6 looks directly at the impact of policy as the key driver in social changes leading to effective long-term integration and the creation of an inclusive society.
Workshop Agenda The first topic to be examined, presented by Lucia Lo, is how various stakeholders define "effectiveness" of immigration policies and practices. Next, Ilene Hyman, Nabiha Attallah, Stephan Reichcholde, Jim Frideres and Maria Admuti –Trache will examine how differences in federal-provincial partnership arrangements affect the delivery and efficacy of integration services in the different provinces, Finally, John Shields and Julie Drolet will compare settlement and integration policies in a number of countries and evaluate what Canada can learn from them.

Galveston's premier public course…
Click here to reserve your tee time today!
Open 7 Days a Week
Moody Gardens® Golf Course, formerly the Galveston Municipal Golf Course, featuring a $16 million comprehensive renovation by the renowned golf course architects of Jacobsen Hardy Golf Course Design. Revealed in June 2008, Moody Gardens® Golf Course still features the best historical aspects of the original layout, while significantly improving certain holes and overall course flow.
The renovation included new turf grass, green complexes, elevations, irrigation, drainage, cart paths, greens and a full clubhouse renovation.
A First-class Public Golf Course
The multi-million dollar investment is a contribution to the city on the part of Moody Gardens® and the culmination of the vision to provide a first-class public golf course for local residents and visitors to the Island. The City of Galveston retains ownership of the newly renovated facility, which is managed by Moody Gardens®.
A Seaside Course with a Tropical Feel
Jacobsen Hardy's attention to detail provides residents and visitors alike with a premiere public golf course. Among the many improvements the course features Paspalum turf, designed for seaside golf courses and providing an outstanding playing surface.
To keep playing surfaces in top condition, a new water treatment plant and irrigation system were included in the renovation project. This improvement in water quality optimizes playing surfaces and also provides water for landscaped areas around the clubhouse and on the golf course. The course highlights its unique seaside tropical feel with 18 holes meandering through upland and lowland native areas, natural wetlands habitat of beautiful Sydnor Bayou and over 500 palm trees.
