Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th March110km done and dusted.........well actually it was only 103km according to my GPS. Did it in 3:27:33 which I am stoked about. Average of 29.8km/g. I was sitting on about 30.8km/h half way through the 2nd lap but the last Cotter climb changed that .
Overall excellent event. They said they had 713 registered riders. Bunch etiquette was excellent even with some novice bunch riders around (ie. me). Encouragement was also great as on the 2nd lap we started catching the back end of the 65km ride. Everyone was encouraging them to keep going which was really good. I take my hat off to some of the back end of the 65km riders, riding MTBs with full knobblys but still giving it there all. Props also go to the guy on the cyclecross bike with 2inch knobblys. He was carving up the front end of the 110km fleet out of coppings crossing. Weather was pretty good. Light drizzle from the start out to about Copping Crossing. A bit more drizzle on the way back in but otherwise mostly overcast which keep things nice and cool. Both times out on Uriarra road after the crossing I hit a bit of a flat spot and was left wandering between 2 small groups. Took the opportunity the to re-energise with some gels which really helped by the time the climb out of Cotter came. The last bit of the 2nd climb out of Cotter was a grind, tried to get out of the saddle but legs were like jelly . Hope it comes back next year Last edited by HAKS on Wed Mar 17, 2010 8:21 pm, edited 2 times in total.

Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchI nearly pulled out on the first lap but decided to keep going. I went out a bit too hard on the first lap. 139km for me today including the ride from home and back.
The 110km bunch was not too bad until we started climbing Coppins and then this stupid person in a white Corolla decided to try and overtake the bunch on the crest of the hill over double lines! Then some richard cranium rider (didn't get his number) decided to overtake the white Corolla while he/she was trying to overtake the bunch on the crest of the hill! A few not-so complimentry things were yelled at him. No wonder cyclist get a bad name. The other traffic incident involved a pair of bogan rednecks in a Land Cruiser going along the false flat of the Homestead that yelled some abuse at our small bunch of three riders. The passenger was so brave he only had the window down a fraction. Probably enough for me to insert my frame pump, if he had stopped I would of been looking to insert it somewhere else! About a minute later a cop on a motorbike came past in the opposite direction but the bogans had moved on. Talking with others after the race he had abused several other cyclists as well. Why can't they just drive past and get on with their lives instead of harassing people that are minding their own business? There seemed to be a lot of cyclists pulled off to the side fixing flat tyres. Would of counted a dozen I reckon. I finished about 20th, behind the first two main bunches.
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchYeah there were a few morons in cars coming out of Coppings Crossing.
Actually that reminds me some stupid moterbike passed our group on the corner at Casurina sands. He crossed double unbroken lines and a 4WD was coming the opposite way. If he had just waited 10sec until the climb then the group I was in all moved into single file. Current Ride: Trek Madone 6.5 (2013)
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th March
He passed me about two thirds of the way between Uriarra and the Homestead - hand on the horn... I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchAn awesome ride. Wasn't too sure what expect from Uriarra having only driven through it previously but it wasn't that hard.
I did the 65km ride which was enough for me with next to no preparation. The significant other did the 30km ride with very little preparation and he seemed to enjoy it. Now we're hanging out for the Fitz's Challenge later this year When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race - H.G. Wells

Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th Marchme and the trusty lil MTB with slicks managed to do the 65km in 3hr 30mins.
I was extrememly impressed with myself as i aimed to finish at 1pm, and i finished at 12.59. I rode with a lady who was about the same pace which was nicer than going alone. i enjoyed Coppins and Uriarra, but bloody hell, Cotter was not fun with jelly legs with the long ride up the hill. i only saw one !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !!, unfortunately he was on a bike.... sitting in the middle of a lane when there is room to the left and holding up a line up of traffic is just inconsiderate. Needed to use his common sense. HOWEVER, as a S L O W rider, I was really impressed by a larger number of riders offering best wishes to me as i was riding back intowards towards, so if that was you, thanks cheers Lucas Hayden

Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchI did the 65km with my Dad, Brother and Sister (my bro and I rode there and back, which was about 95km all up). I thought it was a pretty nice ride and that everyone conducted themselves very well. My sister struggled with the hills a bit, but considering the amount of training she did (or should that be didn't) that is not surprising, unfortunately for me that meant I had to push her up all of the hills. While I was pushing her up I lost count of the number of other riders who offered her gels, bars, powerade or just words of encouragement to help her along, I was very impressed
So all in all I thought it was a fantastic event and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year. Giant Trance | Giant Reign 3 | Trek 8000 | Trek Madone 4.5 | Look 695 SR ipack | Fuji Track 1.1
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchJust realised my post went missing.
103.04km in 3:34:28, 242W average, 3138Kj of work (about 12,500Kj of food). Not the best effort for me for the first half as too many people rode it like a race, cruising downhill and on the flat and hammering up the hills. Was much better on the second lap when I rode it as a TT, and I was flying past most people at the end. Lots of morons riding three or four abreast, and one horrible moment where a line of traffic tried to overtake a pack over a blind crest over double-yellows and encountered another vehicle! I picked up the pace for the second lap, and managed to stay in endurance/tempo most of the time, but no chance of catching the bunches - not helped by stopping for a chat for four minutes with the Vets at their race finish, a couple of long stops while I tried to find which pocket I'd put the bars in... and time out to do the key lock on the phone as it was trying to send SMS messages by itself again. I ride, therefore I am.
...real cyclists don't have squeaky chains...
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th March
My significant other did the 65km and struggled on the two 8% inclines - she also mentioned the offers of help, encouragement and concern from other riders - THANK YOU
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchWell, what a great day. I did the 65K ride (3hrs 29min, when I planned for > 4hrs 15). Beyond the time, my goal was to avoid walking, success on both counts.
More importantly though it was a great bunch of people. I had constant nice comments from people passing me. I stopped to eat near the top of the climb out of the cotter and was really surprised about how many people checked I was OK as they passed. I hope it is back next year. Rob
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchWell done all. While you were riding today I was driving back from Mansfield and the Scody High Country Challenge on Saturday. In our Hartley gear the team really stood out and as we actually worked as a bunch we had a whole heap of hangers on. Best comment "I was going to offer to help up the front but you guys looked so organised"... yeah thanks Mt Buller was a great climb - especially the sharp steeper corners at the top and a wicked descent, I loved the off camber switch backs...
The only downside - the idiot(s) who through tacks over the road causing a few dozen flats. Lucky for us no flats - touch wood. Have to do the Amy's ride next year. Cheers, Russ. Kona Jake The Snake Scott Scale 35 Oppy Le Mauco
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchHmmm. I piked. Health just wasnt 100% so I took the morning off. Still got in 50kms with the trailer this afternoon, though. Definitely 100kms next year if its back. I knew I would regret not doing it, and I was right. Well done to everyone else.
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th MarchWell what a great event. Three of us came down from the Snowy's and did the 65kms. It was a very early start for us - up at 5am to leave by 5.30am (no hotels available due to all the festivities in Canberra!) We all found the ride fun and challenging. The organisation was really great as well so top marks to those running the event. The climbs were tough but I was really happy with how I managed with them. All those days riding hills here in the Snowy's certainly helped and I was pleased to actually be able to pass some people going uphill - certainly a first for me!! I even found myself enjoying the last long climb on that loop - not sure which climb that was but it seemed to go forever!!
The Uriarra loop was great and we were all wondering at times whether the roads had been closed due to the lack of cars. Not being from the area we aren't sure whether that was normal or not. What a lovely scenic area to ride in as well - the descents were also really enjoyable although of course what goes down must go back up! The other thing I really noticed was the number of females participating in the event was quite high - as a fellow female here that was great to see All up we finished the 65kms in just under 3hrs which we are happy with. We will definately be back next year and this time aim to train more and do the 110kms. Thankfully we didn't come across many idiots in cars although there was one of note - a real $h!t for brains in a ute emblazoned with personal number plates (wildone). He cut off a van and then just screamed past a whole heap of riders. Sadly the message of a metre matters will certainly be lost on these neanderthals! All up though a fantastic event and I'm sure next year we will be certain to get a bigger group come down from the Snowies for it. 2012 Wilier Gran Turismo 2012 Specialized Epic FSR Comp 29er
Re: Amy's Ride - Canberra 14th March
Was that towards the end of the roadworks near the Glenloch interchange? A ute passed us at about 4 million km/h through there (40 zone), he was so quick I didn't catch his plate. That was really the only display of poor driving that I witnessed, the majority of motorists seemed to be on their best behaviour... though it is possible that the multitude of motorcycle police cruising around had something to do with that.

The Innova Champion Dyed Beast is a maximum distance driver that is straight. It glides long to a predictable finish. Its high glide, high speed, and high speed turn all combine to give big distance. It is suitable for beginners and pros alike. The Beast is a great disc golf disc for maximum distance, a turnover driver, tailwind drives, roller shots and beginner players looking for more distance from a driver. It's sure to increase distance for beginners and pros alike. A favorite of two-time World Champion Barry Schultz. 21.2 cm diameter
The Beast is a beginner friendly disc that is versatile, straight and makes a good roller. The Champion plastic provides outstanding performance and durability so discs retain original flight characteristics for an extended period of time. Champion Line discs are usually more stable than the same model in Pro, R-Pro or DX. The I-dyed designs add uniqueness.
The era of the wide rimmed disc golf drivers was issued in by the Beast. It was an instant classic when released, giving players more distance while using less power.
Speed 10, Glide 5, Turn -2, Fade 2

"The Beast has quickly become a favorite of mine. MY USE RANGE: 280-400ft. Very versatile disc...Flick or RHBH! My main use for it is the big "S" turn shot to usually dodge trees up the middle. This thing dodges trees like nothin! Glides well & is VERY accurate!" - Eric Friedman
If you are looking for a disc that has
more Fade, try the Orc
more Turn, try the Monarch
more Glide, try the Kite

When you eat a girl out with her period.
Yo dude i heard he gave her a strawberry shortcake at the party.
di Dasiy Love
21 giugno 2009
Noun - A dessert made using a menstruating female with a yeast infection, first throw down some flour (resembling a biscuit-like cake), then when the male is done 'kneading the dough' he pulls it out and cums on top (resembling a sweet biscuit, topped with strawberries and cream). This is then given up to the male who drew the short straw for sloppy seconds to clean up and then make his own shortcake for number 3, and so on....
I gave him the strawberry shortcake I made earlier for good luck.

When a girl gives a guy a blow job, then he cums all over her face, then punches her in the nose, so thhat it bleeds, and mixes the blood and cum together, ie strawberry short cake

"To all at Living Felt... I wanted a lightweight, unbreakable Nativity to enjoy with with the grandchildren. Your core wool, cross-bats of various colors and specialty locks were perfect. But equally important were your tutorials, blog posts, and especially words of encouragement that help to build confidence in a rookie needle felter so we feel like we can tackle a project. I have been casually felting for a couple of years, starting with projects from your tutorials, and this is my first big 3-D attempt. I could not have done it without you...."

I am finishing my Masters Degree in Health Care Operations. The final project requires me to complete field experience. I have chosen to interview nine health care professionals who have treat patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Since I do not currently work in the field of health care it has been very challenging to find indviduals who want to participate. To date I have interviewed one individual (podiatrist) so I have eight more to go.
The project descriptions is as follows:
How medical professionals treat Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
All participants will be asked to view a photo of a diabetic foot ulcer and respond to 11 questions related to treatment of the problem. This information would be provided to the participate before the interview.
Participants will also be able to rank the top three reasons why diabetic foot ulcers occur.
How many People WILL BE IN interviewed and when will the interview take place?
Nine professionals (Family Practitioner, Internal Medicine, Infectious Disease, Podiatry, Vascular Surgeon, Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon, Endocrinologists, Physician Assistant and Nurse Practitioner) will be interviewed.The interviews will take place in January and February 2013. The interviews can take place in person, by phone. The interview should last 30 to 45 minutes. The participant also has the option of answering the questions and mailing our e-mailing them back to me. In the final paper the participant would only be referred to by their profession and not their name. Each participatns will receive a copy of my final report.
If anyone know of someone in the professions listed who would be willing to participate I would really appreciate it.

Cloves Syzygium aromaticum - dried, ground flower buds of the myrtle tree native to India, Indonesia, and South East Asia. Due to an intense flavor, it is used sparingly in savory, spicy, and sweet breads, desserts, and beverages such as spiced chai tea, mulled cider, and hot toddy. Ground cloves are stronger than whole cloves, so use in moderation as it can overpower dishes to which it is added. Aromatic cloves are also used to season rice, fish stews like bouillabaisse, and animal food dishes, especially wild game. Cloves are often used in combination with cinnamon, cumin, and nutmeg. It is also used in making curry powder blends along with cinnamon, coriander, cumin, chilies, turmeric, pepper, fenugreek, and other spices. Organically grown in Sri Lanka.

Gold 'N Hot Professional Ceramic Deep Waver
AmandaTexasHairDark BrownOily HairCurly HairColor Treated HairNew Fav!This waver is great! I was unsure of how it would leave my hair but after using it I love it! It creates the nice, well defined waves I was after. Definitely a go-to product for me.posted Dec 7, 2012Link to this post
Elizabeth V.Just Didn't Work Well.I really wanted to love this but am returning it instead. The minute I pulled it out of the box I grabbed my daughter to try it on her hair. My daughter has thick and difficult to curl hair with thick strands. As I was using the deep waver on her hair all I got was a frizzy mess and NO deep wave definition. I wasn't totally discouraged, as her hair is hard to work with anyway, and decided to try it on my hair instead. My hair is thick, but my strands are thin and take curl pretty easily. I have wavy hair anyway but was looking for something that would give a more polished look to my hair. Unfortunately, this ended up being a hot frizzy mess on me as well. Even though this does get very hot it just didn't seem to "deep wave" the hair at all. What wave it did create on both myself and my daughter was messy and frizzy with no definition. Maybe this would work well on some hair but not ours.posted Mar 19, 2012Link to this post
YoliHairBlackNormal HairDry HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairLove This WaverThis is the best waver I have ever used. I love my hair tools, and this one tops the list!! This waver gives you the options of the soft beach wave or to have a more defined deep wave. The waver has a wide range in heat settings; I think its 250- 450 degrees. I have used this tool several times, and I always get compliments when I use this in my hair. I would definitely recommend this purchase. I also wear hair extensions and this works well on both my hair as well as the extensions.posted Feb 21, 2012Link to this post
YolliGeorgiaHairBlackNormal HairDry HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairBeautiful Beach Waves!!I love, love this deep waver!!! I was kinda skeptical when I first purchased this tool because I remember back in the day that Gold n Hot tools use to burn my hair...BUT they have totally improved the technology in their tools!! I have used this tool a few times already and I get so many compliments when I use it. I am also impressed with the range of heat settings that this product has. I think it starts at 250 to 450 degrees... YES quite a heat range. I would suggest that you use a heat protectant with this product as with any heat tool, you do not want to damage your hair. I have been using sedu argan oil (another awesome product) and it works wonders. For me the curls will last until I wash my hair. I like the beachy kinda messy look, so i actually like my hair on day 2 . Would definitely recommend this deep waver!!

Using Call Trace
Last Updated: Tue, 23 Dec 2014 > Related Articles
Learn how to use *57 to trace harassing phone calls.
Call trace allows you to dial a simple code to trace the phone number of a call that was received. This service is used to trace harassing calls.
Using Call Trace
- After the call arrives:
- If you have hung up, press Call and listen for a normal dial tone. On a wired phone pick up the handset and listen for the dial tone.
If you have not hung up, press End and listen for a special dial tone. On a wired phone, quickly release the disconnect button, and listen for a special dial tone.
Note: Some phones have a Link or Flash key that you can press instead of the disconnect button.
- Press *57. On a rotary phone dial 1157.
Listen for a confirmation announcement telling you the last call has been traced.
Note: In some areas, after you press *57, you'll hear an announcement that the call can be traced. Follow the voice instructions to dial an additional code, and the call will be traced. Call Trace can identify the source of a harassing or abusive call for use in a court of law.Hang up from the call.
Note: Customer Originated Trace must be used immediately after you disconnect from the call you want traced. If you get another call, or hear a Call Waiting tone first, you will trace the wrong call.
Obtaining Call Records
As a Cox Digital Telephone customer you can use the Phone Tools features, available through your accounts on www.cox.com, to set up capture of calls you make and receive, excluding private or unlisted numbers.
If you need records of outgoing calls made before establishing your Phone Tools record, you can obtain them for a charge by presenting a picture ID and completing a release at a Cox Front Counter office. Records will be mailed to the address on your statement in two to three weeks. Cox maintains call records for 18 months (36 months in California and Virginia).
Records of incoming calls are not available to customers, other than through Phone Tools, because they may include private or unlisted number information. Law enforcement can obtain these records for investigation of harassing or annoyance calls.
The number you traced will be recorded by Cox personnel. If you decide to follow-up on the matter, you must contact a law enforcement agency and we will provide that number directly to them. We cannot provide the traced number directly to the Cox Digital Telephone customer.

About National Theatre: The Magistrate
With his louche air and a developed taste for smoking, gambling, port and women, it's hard to believe Cis Farringdon is only fourteen. And that's because he isn't. Agatha his mother lopped five years from her true age and his when she married the amiable Posket. The imminent arrival of Cis' godfather sends Agatha incognito to the Hôtel des Princes to warn him of her deception. But it's also where her son has cajoled his otherwise staid stepfather into joining him for a binge. High-spirited carousing leads to a police raid and a night of outrageous mishap as the trapped guests make desperate attempts to conceal themselves from the law and from each other. Indignities escalate at court the next day where Posket, the police magistrate, must preside. Stars John Lithgow and Nancy Carroll

Schwalm Hall underwent renovation on the third floor in the summer of 2000 and the rest of the building was renovated during the summer of 2004. One wing of third floor is male, and the other wing is female, with furnished suites, singles, and doubles available.

Schwalm Hall has an extensive game room offering foosball, a card table, and ping-pong and a lobby with a large, flat screen TV where residents often play video games, two pool tables, and vending machines. A single, common kitchen area is available for all residents, and microwaves are located on each wing. The hall also contains a study room on each floor, laundry facilities in the basement and two computer labs.
Schwalm Hall has one of the most upbeat and energetic communities on campus. Through interaction with such organizations as the Residential Housing Association (RHA), Student Government Association, and Hall Council, Schwalm is well known for creative and effective programming. The residents take pride in upholding many of Schwalm's programming traditions, such as:

I wish this photo could capture how delicious this sandwich is. I made a few attempts at photographing this, but the photo can't capture how sweet these caramelized onions are and how perfect they taste with yesterday's leftover garlic infused roast beef and melted Swiss cheese.
Father's Day is coming up and I'm trying to think of dishes that would make Dad happy. For those of you who are Pinterest obsessed, I made a Skinny Father's Day board and pinned recipes I think Dads would love. My husband loves caramelized onions, I can't say I blame him. I never knew just how good they were until I met him; he makes them all the time. The onions shrink to about half their size when the slowly cook down, and as they turn golden in color they turn sweet and delicious. They are great over burgers too, I make them with a lot less oil than he does with great results.
I don't east sandwiches often, maybe once a week. But when I do eat a sandwich, my bread of choice is a fresh baked whole wheat French or Italian bread from the bakery because it's generally made with no fat and I love a crispy fresh baked loaf.

Slice the bread open, place 3 oz of cooked roast beef on each piece and top with 1/4 of the caramelized onions. Top with cheese and place in the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to melt the cheese, careful not to burn it.

Could I ask you a question about this case?
Is there room to route cables behind the motherboard tray, like the P182, or Coolermaster Cosmos? I really like that feature. Looking at the final image in your review, I noticed some of the cabling (e.g. the ATX power cable and the cables to the optical drive) could have gone behind the motherboard tray and come out where they were needed (e.g. at the top for the ATX power cable).
Also, why didn't you mount the power supply with the 120mm fan pointing downwards, and is this configuration supported? That way, the hot air goes out through the bottom vent.

Item was OK
I ordered this shirt online but i returned it due to the color. It was described as white but I felt it looked a little "dingy" if it would have been a different color I would have kept it. The fit was good.

Love it!
It's such a cute top and blue color is simply gorgeus. With the sale price you can't bit it. Cute basic top with something extra. A must have!!! Goes with everything :)
August 6, 2013
Cute and Comfy but the fabric on the front of the shirt is very poor quality. Do not try to spray perfume on yourself or you will see the spray all over the shirt. Do not wear lotion while wearing this shirt either or it will show greasy stains.
July 31, 2013
Great fit, watch for snags
Love the fit, not tight yet doesn't look frumpy. Easy to snag on coarse edges.
June 26, 2013
cute and versatile
I really like this shirt. I got it in the blue and it is a stunning color. The zippers on the shoulder are the perfect touch. I have worn this shirt tucked into a pencil skirt, loose with jeans, and loose with shorts. Works every time. Even my husband loves it, and he normally has no comment! I'm 5'4" and the length is perfect.
June 10, 2013
Perfect fit. Love the detail. Great with a pair of jeans!
June 10, 2013

I really like this top. It is cute and simple. Easy to wear with any types of bottom.

A new studdable tire benefiting from Pirelli's rally experience and a prolonged testing program in Arctic conditions. The Carving™ provides an innovative technical solution to the challenge of driving in the extremes of winter, always with increased safety as a priority. An aggressive tread pattern designed to increase the effectiveness of the tire footprint, both on snow and ice.Designed to maximize traction and braking on ice, the Carving has a optimized new stud layout for an improved stud retention and acoustic comfort. Its consistent performance during the whole tire life makes it the choice for intense winter use plus it has the snowflake marking to conform with internationally accepted industry standard. The Carving is also environmentally friendly thank to its totally aromatic oil free compound developed with Pirelli "ACT" technology.
These tires were awesome when they were brand new, never got stuck anywhere. These tires wore out way too quickly and lost all their traction on snow and ice.

Was not impressed with this tire. Tire was very noisy and the car did not feel secure. Stopping and starting seemed difficult. This is a very noisy tire and after one season of driving these had to go.

Removed tires from the car in spring so my rating on dry and treadwear is not really applicable. Would not have made it through this past St. Paul, Mn. winter without these tires on the car! Ice was terrible this year. I am buying a pair for the other car this year too.

Former GM cold weather test driver now living in Edmonton, Alberta. I drive like I was trained to drive, with these tires on a FWD Hyundai, light car and live on a seldom plowed street, parking in the back. No problem at all getting through moderate light snow (6 to 8 inches) and on the icy streets, they did not often get sucked into ice ruts. On flat icy roads, they handle almost like summer. Studded, they sound like popcorn, so I just turned the radio volume up a notch. Very stable. Sold the car and after seeing how well they worked, my wife has me selling the Blizzaks on her Elantra and she is taking these over to drive my kids around on. GREAT tires.

Is it or Isn't it ergonomic?

Four Key Tips for Creating a Healthier Workplace
Workplace health and safety are topics that don't see as much focus as they should. Proper ergonomics for employees will help reduce the incidence of workplace injury, but there are several other things that need to be done to really ramp up the healthiness of an office environment. While some of these changes can be done by individual employees, employers can do much more to enhance the health quality of the workplace. Below, you will find four important tips to increasing workplace and worker health.
Consider Standup Desks
When you think of a desk, chances are good that you picture the standard model – a flat surface a couple of feet off the floor with space for a chair and room underneath for the worker's legs. While sit-down desks are still the norm, many companies are beginning to implement standup desks. These are designed to allow the employee to stand up and complete their duties, rather than sitting down. A mounting body of evidence suggests that long periods of sitting actually contribute to significant health problems.
Most workplaces use the most cost-effective type of lighting (usually fluorescents). However, that's not necessarily the best option for creating a healthy workplace. Natural light is better for the eyes, improves vision and can also enhance mood and productivity. Letting in plenty of natural light is as simple as opening the blinds on your office's windows. If your office lacks enough windows to make this feasible, look into lights that mimic natural sunlight's wavelength and color.
Add a Fitness Area
Encouraging workers to take a break from the job and get their hearts pumping is actually a good thing for both your workers' health and your company's bottom line. It doesn't have to be all that expensive, either. Find an unused office or area in your workplace and add a couple of treadmills and an elliptical machine or two. Encourage your employees to take periodic breaks and exercise. This gets them out of their sitting position, enhances blood flow and also improves overall health.
Encourage Healthier Eating
Lunch in an office environment is usually an unhealthy affair. Your employees might be wolfing down a massive burger and fries, or they might be eating quickly so they can get back to their responsibilities. They might be skipping lunch altogether. Encourage healthier eating in your employees. You can do this in a number of ways, including introducing meal plan suggestions, or hiring a healthy food vendor to come to the office. Of course, it helps if you (the manager or owner) are able to lead by example. Encourage your employees to take their entire lunchtime, too.
Creating a healthy workplace doesn't have to require a revolutionary change. Small steps in the right direction can result in big improvements. Start small and think smart. Encourage your employees to get out of the rut and do things differently. Of course, you need to think differently as well.
Three Ways to Never Sit in Your Office Chair
It's true that, as the saying goes, we weren't born yesterday. We think we know how to talk, walk, and sit down. However, so many of us do not sit in a chair properly. It might sound silly or seem pretty basic, but there are a number of ways that you can harm your body merely by how you sit. And as most people sit all day for their jobs, you could be placing a great deal of stress on the body due to the way you sit at your desk. In order to correct these bad patterns and postures, here are a few ways you should never sit in your office chair.
Legs crossed
When most people sit down, they cross their legs or ankles. While this might be commonplace at your workplace, you will want to break this habit. You should sit at your office chair with your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet resting flat. If you cross your legs all day, you can develop knee problems. Crossing your legs also impairs blood flow to your legs, which can lead to pains and cramps. You also don't want to sit at your desk with your legs dangling above the ground and crossed. This will lead to poor blood circulation.
Leaning away from the back of the chair
We all are guilty of bad posture from time to time. However, if you notice how you sit at the office, you might discover that your back is seldom resting against the backrest of the chair. If you lean away from the back of the chair to read computer screens, write, or talk on the phone, you are placing unnecessary stress on your back. Your back isn't supported in this position, which can produce a great deal of pain. One way to kick the habit of leaning in your chair is to purchase a chair that is ergonomically designed so that it will promote good posture.
Legs stretched out parallel to the floor on a footrest
At your desk, you might pull up another chair to rest your legs and feet. However, your legs should never be resting parallel to the floor on a footrest. While it might sound comfortable and even look more comfortable, it can actually lead to a great deal of discomfort. This practice does not promote good circulation to the legs. Poor blood flow can only make you feel more tired on the job.
You might think that there is really no wrong way to sit down. You bend your legs and rest your upper body on a surface. However, you can contort your body into different positions that you fail to notice over time. It is merely the way you always sit down. Those positions could be hurting your body more than helping it. The effects of how you sit can be both physical and mental. In order to promote the best health possible as you sit at your job, remember to avoid sitting in these three positions.
Seatability Bungee Chairs - Solace Series!
Sure, we thought the same as you. Bungees chairs by Seatability can't be comfortable. I mean, it's like a chopped up trampoline. There are like no solid seating areas on the whole chair. What is there to be comfortable about these chairs??
But when I sat on these chairs (the Solace series) it was very different that what I expected. The straps are flat, which is nice. But they actually feel comfortable - not part of you feels like you are slipping between the cracks. And the bounce does actually feel nice. A unique, but relaxing feeling. For example, the chair's bungee straps will, not unlike mesh, contort to your body and form nicely. Unlike mesh though, they are not abrasive against your clothing and are a bit firmer on the back, which means there is more support. It really is a nice feeling. Then there's the ventilation issue. The chair breathes nicely, because there is no stopgap between the user and the air.
As far as the chair itself is concerned, its well built. Solid construction and it feels durable. Rated for 250 lbs and BIFMA certified, which is a good thing. The lumbar support, while passive, is there and you can feel it nicely. I gotta say, I was impressed with the bungee chair. Very impressed. Might we say, I was 'bungee' jumping for joy after sitting in it?!
Now, if your feeling a little uncomfortable with the whole bungee thing, there's always this Seatability Solace chair, with a bungee back and a vinyl foam seat. Not exactly a leather office chair, but a nice compromise between the two. It is comfortable...
Ergonomic Leather Office Chairs?
How do you make a leather office chair ergonomic? It's a tricky endeavor, and probably one you shouldn't worry too much about trying to accomplish. We have some nice options available here, if you want to take a gander...There are some leather office chairs that have actual adjustable lumbar supports, we have a few, and you can most likely find these with a knee tilt mechanism too. If you can get a leather office chair with these components, that is probably the most ergonomic you are going to get with a leather chair. It's not that they are mutually exclusive attributes, ergonomics and leather chairs, but its just that the design of them hasn't caught up to include the ergonomics craze that has been sweeping the furniture world for the past five years or so.
Of course, you can also go for the ultra ergonomic Humanscale Freedom Chair, which is available in leather, and even though their ergonomic principles aren't the standard run of the mill, they are true and sound to proper ergonomic thought. Or alternateively, you can opt for the the chair Sigourny Weaver would probably try to kill, the Verte chair (you know, because it looks like an alien...ha-ha very funny...). But other than these, I wouldn't stress about making your conference room wholly ergonomic. Just make it comfortable. And the same goes if you are set on getting a good, plush leather chair for your office...you can always get part of the ergonomics from a keybard tray and monitor arm. Again, here are some ergonomic leather chair options, in case you want to look.
Learning to "Sit Better" with My Ergonomic Office Chair
About two months ago I woke up numerous times throughout the night. My left shoulder, the lower part of the deltoid to be more specific, was aching quite a bit; sharp shooting pains. Being an athlete, I thought I'd just strained it at the gym or the softball field. The next morning I had breakfast, popped a couple of ibuprofens and soon the pain dissipated to a slight ache. Over the course of the next couple weeks, I continued this routine nearly every day. Eventually, I began taking ibuprofen before going to sleep, but I was still waking up during the night with sharp cutting pains. Those weeks of pain multiplied into two months.
The denial that I'd done some damage was reinforced frequently. The pain wasn't constant and only occurred when my arm moved to a particular position. I could still throw a softball; actually my throw had become more accurate. I couldn't lift as much weight on my right side at the gym though, and being that I'm not a person who enjoys sitting on a bike or running on a treadmill, my workouts became sporadic. My rationale? I probably just needed a break from the gym.
The pain was still there though, and it was getting worse.
I went to see a physical therapist. We talked about a number of different situations and it came down to the chair I was using. Yeah, I know, I work for Sitbetter, so you'd think I'd know better. And, no, it isn't my chair at the office but my chair at home. The one in my home office, where I sit to pay my bills, respond to personal emails, to chat with family and friends, journal, and to do research.
My favorite ergonomic chair is the Infinity Series Mesh Back Chair (EMC-11), so I ordered it. It comes with free shipping and should get here in two days. It has some great adjustments, like a two-way adjustable lumbar, adjustable arms, a 2:1 syncro knee tilt locking mechanism and a breathable black Mesh.
On Wednesday of next week, I start doing exercises with some rubber bands; different colors with different tensions. I can't even begin to tell you what exercising with rubber bands is going to do for my ego, but I have the right chair in my home office, and according to my physical therapist, "You just need to 'sit better' at home." Her words, not mine.

John Amaechi OBE and students from Tower Hamlets College leap to launch the first Special Olympics GB Unified Sport Basketball session
MONDAY 27 FEBRUARY, LONDON: Former NBA star and England Basketball International, John Amaechi OBE, returned to the basketball court today to launch the Special Olympics Great Britain Unified Sports® programme. The programme offers people with learning disabilities the opportunity to play sport in the same team as those without learning disabilities for sports training and competition. The Unified Sports® programme is run by Special Olympics GB and supported by Coca-Cola Great Britain and will see a series of coaching and competition sessions covering a variety of sports, delivered through sport centres, clubs and communities all over the country. Special Olympics GB is the country's largest sports training and competition programme which transforms the lives of young people and adults with learning disabilities through the power of sport. Amaechi, a Special Olympics GB ambassador and England Commonwealth Games medallist, visited Tower Hamlets College in East London this morning to take part in the first Unified Basketball session of this initiative. He called on young people around the country not to exclude those with learning disabilities in the run up to such an exciting summer of sport and encouraged them to get involved with their local Special Olympics GB's Unified Sports® projects by visiting www.specialolympicsgb.org.uk. Basketball is one of the sports that will now be supported through the Unified Sports® programme. Others include volleyball, table tennis, tennis and sailing. The addition of new sports to the initiative builds on the success of the charity's Unified Football programme, which has established itself as one of the best inclusive models to benefit and empower people with learning disabilities. The growth of the Unified Sports® programme this year forms part of the long-term partnership between Coca-Cola Great Britain and Special Olympics GB, which aims to make a range of sports more accessible for people with learning disabilities, empowering them and their families to take an active and more confident role in their communities. "Unified Sports programmes will play a valuable role in breaking down the barriers to sport that exist for people with learning disabilities enabling them to compete in popular sports on the same team as those without learning disabilities and in an environment that promotes equality and inclusion. With such a great range of sports to choose from now everyone can get involved. As we've shown here today, it can be a lot of fun," – John Amaechi OBE."The London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games are the most exciting opportunities we have as a Worldwide Partner to engage young people and help to build a legacy of increased grassroots sports participation. Building on our 34 year history of support for Special Olympics GB by helping them expand their Unified Sports programme, we hope to make it easier for people with learning disabilities to take part and compete in sport in their communities and to inspire young people everywhere - with and without learning disabilities - to participate together." - Jon Woods, General Manager, Coca-Cola Great Britain & Ireland.
"With such an exciting year of sport ahead, young people around the country are being inspired to take up new sports, but for the 1.2million people in the UK with learning disabilities it's not always easy to take part as they can often encounter exclusion and discrimination. The model of Unified Sports – bringing together athletes with and without learning disabilities – has been proven to overcome these difficulties and promote social inclusion. With many team sports to choose from, the Unified Sports programme will offer fun and fitness for thousands more people."- Karen Wallin, CEO Special Olympics GB.Tower Hamlets College was chosen as the venue for the launch because of its commitment to disability sports. Last year the College launched the FE Special Games, a disability sports tournament, which was sponsored by Special Olympics GB."We are committed to giving our students and local community the opportunity to try things that otherwise they would never have had the chance to. Our students have thoroughly enjoyed the chance to learn from such an esteemed sportsman, and be a part of the Special Olympics new Unified Sports programme."- Michael Farley, Principal of Tower Hamlets College.

Updated and available for the first time in English, Mafia Inc. reveals how the Rizzuto clan built their Canadian empire through force and corruption, alliances and compromises, and turned it into one of the most powerful criminal organizations in North America. Relying on extensive court documents, police sources and sources in the family's home village in Sicily, Montréal journalists André Cédilot and André Noël reconstruct the history of the Rizzuto clan, and expose how its business extends throughout Canada and the world, shaping the criminal underworld, influencing politicians and bending the will of business leaders to their own self-satisfying ends.
Excerpted from Mafia Inc. by Andre Cedilot and Andre Noel. Copyright © 2011 by Andre Cedilot and Andre Noel. Excerpted by permission of Vintage Canada, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Police documents show that a retired French lawyer and a criminal with a specialty in international fraud met with the presumed head of the Montreal Mafia early in March 1994. An RCMP report notes that the lawyer felt ill at ease "because of the people involved." The three men met at Vito Rizzuto's home on Antoine-Berthelet Avenue and at Bongusto, a restaurant in Montreal's Little Italy neighbourhood.
The following month, "Pierre Morais," the RCMP officer posing as manager of the CIMM, reported that Joe Lagana had told him that Vito Rizzuto had already spent $1.5 million. Another thread picked up by police during surveillance as part of Operation Compote led to one of the most improbable tales ever to involve the Montreal Mafia: the Rizzutos had, apparently, been tasked with the mission of recovering a fortune in gold bullion stashed in Swiss bank safes by the deposed—and by then deceased—Philippine dictator, Ferdinand Marcos.
Marcos and his wife, Imelda, were driven out of Manila's Malacañang Palace in 1986, their regime brought down by a popular revolt, and sought refuge in Hawaii. Imelda was famously forced to leave behind some 2,500 pairs of shoes, 1,000 handbags, 500 gowns and 15 mink coats. The new government set about trying to recover part of the estimated five billion dollars that the couple had plundered from the country's citizens during their two-decades-long dictatorial reign. After her husband's death in 1989, Imelda Marcos was allowed to return from exile in 1991, and she ran in the presidential election a year later. At that time she was forced to answer the question on every Filipino's lips: How had she amassed her fortune?
She announced at a news conference that her husband had found part of a fabled treasure, "Yamashita's Gold," in the Philippine jungle when he was a guerrilla fighting invading Japanese forces during the Second World War. A long-standing legend has it that General Tomoyuki Yamashita, who governed the Philippines after his forces captured the country in late 1941 and early 1942, had hidden tonnes of gold looted during his Southeast Asian campaign in various jungle caches all over the archipelago. Imelda explained that her valiant husband had given some gold ingots to his men but had kept some for himself, eventually socking it away in Switzerland. "It's become something like an urban legend–type story," Rico José, a professor at the University of the Philippines and an authority on the Japanese occupation, said in 2005, when asked to comment on this story straight out of an Indiana Jones movie. Former Philippine Solicitor General Francisco Chavez has been even more trenchant, saying, "The myth of the Yamashita treasure is only being utilized to explain away a clear case of graft and corruption."
True, there has never been any credible proof that Yamashita's Gold ever existed. There is, however, ample evidence that the strongman ruler and his footwear-addicted wife helped themselves to billions of dollars during their twenty years in power, siphoning funds from the state coffers, pocketing gargantuan bribes and misappropriating subsidies from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. It was thus entirely plausible that the Marcoses could have stolen gold bars from the Central Bank of the Philippines and stored them in offshore banks. At 4:35 p.m. on August 6, 1993, the RCMP intercepted a three-page fax demonstrating that Vito Rizzuto and his associates, Joe Lagana and a certain Hummy Shumai, had been asked to recover the gold bullion.
