Above all, it's about carrying on cycling as the weather gets cooler. Don't let anyone tell you it's too cold to cycle in winter. If anything, it's too cold not to! Just ask passengers stamping their feet and breathing fog over a disrupted train timetable. Ask car drivers scraping a small glacier off the front windscreen while their hands turn blue. Ask grimacing, shivering crowds huddled at bus stops and wishing they'd stayed in bed. And then ask cyclists cruising down beautiful misty streets, feeling warm and energised after a bracing start, and completely in control of their destiny � whatever the weather throws at them. It's also about the momentum of our London Cycle Map Campaign. Every day more Londoners sign our petition for a Tube-style map and network of signed cycle routes throughout the capital. Rather than remembering hundreds of `turn rights' and `turn lefts', and stopping repeatedly to consult an A to Z, Londoners could one day take advantage of Simon Parker's London Cycle Map, which uses colour-coding to reveal how London's existing cycle network contains an amazing pattern: a series of direct cycle routes connecting all areas of the capital. The routes just need to be signed and marked properly � which is what our campaign is calling for. If we succeed, many cycle journeys in London could be as simple as riding on a single long straight signed coloured route. Now that's what I call momentum. Then there's the momentum of Cycle Lifestyle itself. Now on its sixth issue, the magazine contains loads of tips on choosing a bike, buying accessories, getting started, planning a route, and staying safe. Our regular columnists are still at it, too. Gareth Jenkins, aka New Bike on the Block, writes about how he made it all the way to Wales on a bike just by asking locals the way and pressing on. He got there in the end � and his Aunty Doris was delighted with his visit. And Adam Copeland, aka The Peddler, recounts the story of how his wine-tasting exploits on a cycling holiday in France gained so much momentum he ended up horizontal. My theme was going so well until then. Let that be a lesson. To keep warm, healthy and happy this winter, keep up the momentum: keep cycling.

Attitude. Achievement. by Ry Morgan arker days, snow-laden pavements, colder commutes � it's no surprise that winter causes many cyclists to trade their daily ride for the car or public transport. Yet with the right equipment, attitude and perhaps a little incentivisation, winter cycling can often provide the most magical of experiences. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how little it rains, and whatever the weatherdoes,there'snothingacupofteawon'tfixupon arrival. Let'sfirstexplorethekitwhichwillkeepyoucosy.Arriving at work in a sorry-sodden-state will soon put the brakes on your motivation levels, so some waterproof clothing should beyourtoppriority.Awind-resistantjacket(cycling-specific or not) is essential � just make sure it's breathable, because being too hot shouldn't be the only alternative to being too cold. Gloves and hat, too, are a must on really cold days. Other items which might be helpful are a moisture-wicking base layer, over-shoes and trousers/leggings � but these are all budget-dependant. High-visibility belts, backpack covers and bibs might also aid your safety, yet it all comes down to personal preference. To be honest, I usually just throw on a thick winter jacket and woolly hat. An entirely new wardrobe is hardly necessary! Moving on to your machine, there are two key additions: lights and mudguards. Lights are a legal requirement, front (white) and back (red) being the minimum necessary, but if you're a city commuter then an extra bit of illumination always helps � whether on your bag, clothing or helmet. Mudguards are to protect you from rogue puddles. Cheap and easy to attach, they'll keep you (and the rider behind you!) safe from splashes when negotiating those damp streets. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to have your bike serviced before the cold kicks in � parts tend to wear out more in the wet, so giving everything a once-over should help avoid any nasty surprises. Then there's the most important accessory of all: attitude. Getting "from bed to shed" can often be the toughest part of your entire commute. Admittedly, I'm all-too familiar with the snooze button, but an extra few minutes of shut-eye just can't compare to cruising down a desolate street as the sun comes up, with your misty breath rising over your shoulder. Stick to a routine and set everything out the night before to help circumvent petty excuses. I've even heard from keen (read: crazy) friends who sleep in their cycle gear to avoid the preamble! Alternatively, what if you were being rewarded for cycling to work? Would the thought of extra holiday time or cash incentives make that duvet a little less enticing? Yes? I thought so. Forward-thinking companies such as GlaxoSmithKline and Forster are doing just that, winning the Unum Healthy Workplace and The Sunday Times Greenest Company awards respectively in the process. It makes a lot of sense too: increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, fewer carbon emissions, lower staff turnover, higher workplace morale � I could go on. Cycling is a "Triple Bottom Line" activity, having a positive effect on people, the planet andprofits.AndthisiswherePleaseCyclecomesin. PleaseCycle works with organisations to help them understand, encourage and reward employee cycling. Our most innovative offering is the CycleHubTM � an online portal on which staff can log journeys, learn about cycling, plan safe routestotheoffice,checkweatherupdates,organiseevents and compete on a company leaderboard for rewards. By logging their mileage, not only can employees see their total distance, carbon saving and how they're doing compared to colleagues, they also accrue BikeMilesTM which are like Nectar points for cyclists. BikeMilesTM can be redeemed for internal or external rewards, such as holiday time or a retail voucher. Reckitt Benckiser, one of PleaseCycle's founding clients, are taking a slightly different tack by trialling a system which makes a donation to their corporate charity (Save The Children) for every mile covered by staff. Inspiring stuff � which would certainly make me think twice about hitting the snooze button. Anyway, those are my top tips for winter cycling. Whatever theweather,theprinciplebenefitsofcyclingremain�health, happiness, lower costs and higher convenience. So when the coldcreepsinthiswinterandyoufindyourselfcoaxedback under the covers: don your waterproof jacket, hat and gloves, and PleaseCycle. www.pleasecycle.com 5 beginner's guide Geared up to Go! Our guide to preparing for your first cycle ride Choose a bike If you are unsure then take your bike to the nearest bike shop for a quick service. When you buy your bike from a shop you can expect them to help you with these checks. There are different kinds of bike for different kinds of journey, so you need to choose the right bike for yours. Road bikes (`racing' bikes) are designed to be lightweight, aerodynamic and fast, with handlebars that curl downwards and skinny tyres. Touring bikes are sturdier versions of road bikes, designed for long distances carrying luggage. Mountain bikes are designed for rough terrain, with knobbly tyres, strong frames, a wide selection of gears, and often suspension. Hybrid bikes offer a compromise between the speed of a road bike and the strength and gearing of a mountain bike. With smooth tyres and an upright riding posture that's good for visibility, they're a popular option for commuting. Folding bikes can be folded away and carried like a briefcase. Useful for commuting, they can conveniently be taken on the train or bus. They have small wheels and fewer gears, and can be stored easily at home if you don't have much space. Electric bikes are a more expensive option, with an electric motor offering assistance for getting up hills or on longer commutes. Shed bikes are bikes that have been gathering cobwebs in your shed for years! Check them over before you get back on. Then there are adapted cycles, tricycles, tandems, side-byside cycles and recumbent cycles � making cycling accessible to almost everybody, including people with disabilities. Get dressed In decent weather there's no need to wear special clothing any more than there is for a walk to the shops. You can even cycle in smart clothes, so long as you're comfortable. Just make sure your clothing is neither too baggy (catching in the chain) nor too tight (restricting your pedalling). In winter, however, choosing the right clothes becomes more important. Above all, you'll need to make sure you're waterproof and visible (wearing light-coloured or reflective clothing). Check out our `Winter Cycling' feature on page 5 for more information. Accessorize Some basic accessories are essential: Lights. By law you must have a front white light and a rear redlightwhencyclingatnight,andarearreflectorandpedal reflectorsatalltimes. A lock. Spend as much as you can afford to get a stronger lock (or indeed multiple locks). Always leave your bike in a well-lit and busy place to deter thieves. Others accessories are really useful: Abell.You'llfindpedestriansappreciateanearly,gentle warning of your presence if you're on a shared path � a couple of tinkles when you're still 10 metres or so away works well. Mudguards. These will help keep splatters off your clothes. A rack and panniers. Panniers are bags that attach onto a rack at the back of your bike, which enable you to be unencumbered while riding. The next-best option is a rucksack because this keeps your arms free. Never dangle bags from your handlebars. A pump and a spare inner tube or puncture repair kit. Punctures are rare, but it's good to be prepared. It's not compulsory to wear a helmet to cycle in London, but many people choose to � especially in winter when the conditions can be more hazardous. If you do, ensure that your helmetisofgoodqualityandproperlyfitted. Check your bike Before you set off you'll need to make sure your bike is safe to ride. Start with the following checks: Both brakes work well. Both tyres are pumped up (this will make your bike easier to ride as well as safer). The saddle height is correct (so that when sitting on the saddle your heel rests on the pedal with your knee very slightly bent). Also make sure that when adjusting the saddle height the seat post limit has not been reached (normally this is a marked band about 3 inches from the bottom of the seat post). The handlebars are tightened. Ensure that they cannot be turned with the front wheel between your legs, and that they do not move when pressure is applied from the top. The gears work smoothly. 6 Plan your route Preparing a good route is essential for cycling in London, but luckily it's one of the most fun parts. There are lots of helpful resources, including: Transport for London cycle guides. You can order them online at www.tfl.gov.uk. LCN+ maps. These can be viewed online at www.londoncyclenetwork.org.uk. Localboroughmaps.Contactyourlocalcouncilofficesto findoutmore. Google maps. An especially useful resource which uses the Google map interface is www.bikehike.co.uk. You can interactivelyplotyourrouteonscreenandfindoutgradientand distance data. www.cyclestreets.net � a journey planner for cycling which allows you to type in your start and end destination locations and suggests a route for you. A good old-fashioned A to Z! than a front one. Consider getting some cycle training. All London's boroughs provide free or subsidised training. Tips for motorists When turning left watch for cyclists coming up on your near side and don't cut them up. Give cyclists a wide berth when overtaking. Dip your headlights when approaching cyclists. In wet weather, allow cyclists extra room as surfaces may be slippery. Cyclists and motorists are equally entitled to use and share the same road space. Tips for cyclists on shared-use paths Don't go too fast � it can intimidate others. Use your bell to let others know you are approaching, but don't assume they can hear or see you. Give way to others and always be prepared to slow down and stop if necessary. Remember to say `thank you' if they let you pass. Keep left or on your side of any dividing line. Be careful at junctions, bends or entrances. Tips for other path users Keep your dog under control. Keep to your side of any dividing line. Find out more from Sustrans at www.sustrans.org.uk � or just phone a friend who cycles. When you plan your route you should aim for: Quiet roads or roads with cycle paths Low speed limit areas Parks and open spaces which allow cycling Mercury_OCT11_EPH_v1.indd 1 And you should avoid: Very busy junctions Large and fast roundabouts Dual carriageways Routes heavy with lorries Pavements. It's illegal to cycle on the pavement, unless it's signed as a shared-use path for cyclists and pedestrians. If any of these are unavoidable, you can always get off and push!

For information visit our website: Or contact us at: Stay safe � the Sustrans guide Tips for cyclists on roads Ride in a position where you can see and be seen. Beware of vehicles turning left. Make eye contact with other road users, especially at junctions � then you know they've seen you. Signal clearly at all times. Follow the Highway Code � don't jump red lights and don't cycle on the pavement unless it's a designated cycle path. Consider wearing a helmet and bright clothing, especially in towns, at night and in bad weather. In wet weather watch your speed as surfaces may be slippery and it will take you longer to stop. Also avoid turning across man-hole covers or areas with lots of yellow/white lines on the road. The rain makes them especially slippery. Go easy on the front brake. In wintery conditions, try to shift a little more emphasis onto the rear brake by placing your body weight a little further back and squeezing the front lever more gently. It's much easier to control a sliding rear wheel WWW.MERCURYCYCLECOACHING.COM firstname.lastname@example.com 17/8/11 10:22:08 7 feature The Road Ahead How a London Cycle Map could lead you through the capital's streets Cycle Lifestyle's London Cycle Map Campaign is calling for a single 'London Cycle Map' that's clear and easy to use andcorrespondstoaunifiednetworkofsignedcycleroutes throughout Greater London: the cycling equivalent of the London Underground Map. You can see Simon Parker's fantastic London Cycle Map on www.cyclelifestyle.co.uk. Simon has spied an incredible pattern in the capital's tangle of cycle routes. Like a magic eye, his map shows that within the complexity there's structure: a series of long straight routes transecting London in all directions like waves, providing a direct connection between any two areas. Using Parker's map, you could cycle from virtually anywhere to anywhere in the capital by remembering no more than a few coloured routes then simply following road signs and markings. So what would you need to see on the actual streets for the London Cycle Map to work? You'd need markings on the roads guiding you along, and visible signs wherever the routes intersect. The image on these pages shows Cycle Lifestyle's idea of what an intersection might look like. Make this vision a reality by signing the petition for the London Cycle Map Campaign at www.petition.co.uk/london-cyclemap-campaign Find out more at www.cyclelifestyle.co.uk R2 G1 G1� 8 A `Totem' indicating that this is an intersection of two routes. The sphere would be illuminated and should be as salient as a `roundel' sign on a Tube Station. This would make it easy for cyclists to orient themselves on the network, easy for people to meet at junctions ("meet me at G1R2"), and easy for local pedestrians to direct cyclists to the network ("there's one of those glowing spheres at the end of this road!"). A sign pointing cyclists either straight ahead if they want to continue on the same route (R2), or left/right if they want to change onto an adjoining route (G1). There would be no more than three such changes on a typical journey using the London Cycle Map � just as easy as catching the Tube! The dot on the G1 sign which points to the right is to indicate which direction you are heading along on the route. A dot means the route is heading in a northerly or easterly direction; a lack of a dot indicates a southerly or westerly direction. Below the sign is Simon Parker's London Cycle Map. To see the map up close, visit www.cyclelifestyle.co.uk `Breadcrumbs' are painted road markings forming a trail of coloured dots for cyclists to follow along a route. Positioned every ten metres or so, they would reassure cyclists that they are still on the correct route � and make it very hard to get lost on a bike! On darker streets, breadcrumbs could be illuminated using solar power stored up during the day. 9 column The Best Cycling Streets by Elizabeth Hunter his issue's street isn't technically a street � it's a bridge. Waterloo Bridge. I'm sure most of you have walked across it and marvelled at the view. It feels like the central point of the city, surrounded by landmarks as far as the eye can see, in all their diverse shapes and colours. To the east, the pale dome of St Paul's sits calmly in front of that glossy thrusting upstart of the City, the Gherkin; while to the west, the white, swooping London Eye faces the dark gothic squareness of Parliament and Big Ben across the river. And on the edges of the bridge itself, the deco lines of grand old Somerset House and The Savoy shame the car-park-carbuncle of the National Theatre on the other bank. Yet even this building can look beautiful, when dusk falls and it's illuminated in pink and teal and cyan. The wide Thames connects the whole scene, changing colour with the sky and catching the falling lights at night. I never get bored of it. The reason I think Waterloo Bridge counts as a great cycling street is that, unlike many of London's bridges, it is pleasant to cycle across. It has a little slope, for one thing, down to the IMAXonthesouthside.Trafficisgenerallylightandthelanes wide, which means that at off-peak times of the day you can have the whole bridge to yourself. Though it's a great walk, I think it's an even better cycle: emerging from the crowded streets of Covent Garden or the hustle of Trafalgar Square into wide open space offers a brief interlude of water and sky and wind in the midst of the city. Cycling across Waterloo Bridge is so joyous I sometimes make up reasons to go south just to do it.

She works exceptionally hard throughout the year and has a very stressful job. She loves the sun and the beach and likes nothing better than having a few sips of sangria by the pool. So she was ecstatic when I told her we were going to cycle to Wales for this year's trip. I have an Aunty Doris who remains my last living relative there, where my father is from. She lives in South Wales and hasn't met my wife, or indeed seen me for about 15 years. I've decided that cycling more is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the `good life' is concerned, and that family should take less of a back seat. Cycling to Wales would combine the two resolutions. Brilliant, eh? everyday life � not have them loaded back on! I wanted to unplug myself from the TV, the internet, and "the quickest" anything. I just wanted to relax... to be an adventurer. My wife has a bike: she picked it out, had a go on it, and said "Yep, I'll have this one". I handed over my battered credit card. On the way home, she described how we could now go out together on Sundays and stop for a ploughman's lunch at a riverside pub in the sunshine. We daydreamed about those balmy summer evenings cycling around. Well, that was two years ago. She's never so much as had a wobbly ride round the block on her bike since. She tells me it's because she likes "how it looks in the shed". The good thing is, she's up for a laugh. And, as we're already married, there's a lot of paperwork involved before she can leave me. Admittedly, we both found the prospect of riding more than 200 miles a little bit daunting, to say the least. My wife hardly had any cycling experience, and the furthest I had ridden was to work and back. I'd never "done a cycling trip" or a "tour" (as I read somewhere they are called). But the time for change had come. These days I'm in the business of trying to do interesting stuff rather than sticking to the same old status quo � and, besides, Aunty Doris was expecting us. Inundated with advice and information from well-wishers and experienced cyclists, we were given loads of literature and instructions about must-haves and equipment we should take. Many routes were planned and offered to us; the "quickest", the "easiest", or the "most recognised". We were thrust lists: Sat Navs we should use, ultra-light tents, and safety protocols. I nearly had a meltdown to be honest. I wanted to get away from the stresses and strains of So with all gratitude, I binned every list and suggestion. This was going to be OUR trip, not theirs. I bought a map that showed the motorways and the A and B roads, and invested in a �5 compass. I decided we would simply ask the way from people we met on the journey and, if in doubt, just head to towns and places mentioned on the map. At crossroads we would look at what option was most westerly on the compass. Simple (which is ironically the word my wife uses to describe me). They say life is all about the journey, so we decided to echo that sentiment and try to get lost as much as possible, to talk to as many people as possible, and travel blind. I likened it to being one of those "travellers of old", who would just roll their carts into town and ask the innkeeper for a room in the Prancing Pony Inn. My wife pointed out that travellers of old didn't have mobile phones, which was a fair point. We took a tent as back-up, so that we could pitch up in an emergency; that way we'd know there was nothing really to worry about. Well that was the theory anyway. The trip was tough, amazing, life changing, eye-opening, exciting, and, most importantly, neither of us were mortally wounded during it. So, this I say to you: Do a cycling trip. Forget all the boundaries and problems presented to you and just get on with it. Throwing caution to the wind sometimes is good for us � and you'll end up with a shed load of good yarns (and perhaps even a happy Aunty)! Gareth is writing a book about his journey to Wales. He hopes to have it published in 2012. If you would like to register your interest in receiving an advance copy please email: firstname.lastname@example.com For now, you can read more of Gareth's yarns on cyclelifestyle.co.uk 11 Give it a Go London volunteers are real Olympic Champions by Wendy Johnson ge should be no barrier to taking on a new challenge, as Milly Skervin, 48, of Nottinghill Gate willtestify.Millygotonabikeforthefirsttimejust twoyearsagoandisconfidentitwasoneofthe best things she has ever done. `I never had the opportunity to cycle when I was growing up' says Milly. `I was raised in Wolverhampton and my Dad didn't think that cycling was important for a girl so I just never learned. Now, I take a childlike joy in getting out on my bike. The best thing about it is the sense of freedom you get from cycling.' `InitiallyIwasnervousoftraffic,butonceIovercamethat andrealisedhowefficientitistotravelbybiketherewasno stopping me.' `I cycle everywhere.

Thefinancialbenefitsofcyclingareahugehelpatatime when travelling in the capital is becoming more expensive. Transport for London recently announced that fares across its services � Tubes, buses, London Overground, Docklands Light Railway and trams � will increase by an average of 7 per cent from January 2012. `Saving money was one of the reasons I started cycling', continues Milly. `I save around �1,000 a year just on Tube fares, which was my main method of travelling before. I've doneoutthekitcheninmyflatonthemoneyI'vesaved� it's wonderful.' `Cycling was the catalyst for me becoming a more active person. I'm now in a running club and I play competitive netball � things I would never have considered before. It's made me a much healthier person and I've dropped four dress sizes!' This new active way of life has inspired Milly to volunteer as a Sustrans Active Travel Champion. This is a project that is supported by a Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Inspiring Sustainable Living grant as part of the build-up to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012. As a `Champion', Milly will be one of a group of Sustrans volunteers in and around London who will be specially trained to encourage and support people around them � whether at work, school, university or in the neighbourhood � to walk and cycle more for their daily journeys. Milly says; `I was really drawn to the Champion role and I've already started encouraging people at work to cycle more. On my desk I keep photos of myself before I started cycling and show them to colleagues to compare how I look now to then.

Rebecca Davis is coordinating the Active Travel Champions project for Sustrans. `People like Milly are going to be a vital part of getting the most out of the Olympics', says Rebecca. `We've got a real opportunity to be an Olympic host country that champions healthier and more active ways of travelling, both to the Games and as part of everyday life.' `We're aiming to have around 250 people involved as Champions by the end of March 2013, so it's an ambitious project.' `The people who have signed up so far come from a real mix of backgrounds � there are musicians and triathletes, community workers and entrepreneurs � representing a wealth of knowledge and experience.

I knew my time had come recently when I was sat at work and I realised two things. Firstly, that I hadn't had a day off in nearly 18 months, and secondly,thatI'dfinished the internet. (I won't tell you how it ends, but as you've probably guessed, Jeeves from Ask Jeeves does end up sleeping with that milkmaid in Farmville. He's insatiable!). So I decided to take a break from my busy work schedule ofpretendingtolookbusyatwork,andflewtoFrance with a couple of friends for a six day cycling holiday. Or more accurately, a six day eating, drinking, sleeping and occasionally hauling-ourselves-along-on-a-bike-for-a-fewmiles holiday. It resembled the Tour de France about as closely as Boris Johnson resembles a lap dancer. Although maybe this isn't the place to discuss my dreams. Anyway, the plan was simple: we would work our way along the river Loire, stopping at vineyards along the way. One of our party works in the wine industry, so it would be an education in regional wine tasting. `Horizontal tasting', he called it, presumably because we spent so much of our time lying horizontally wondering if we really needed that fourth bottle of champagne. As a London cyclist, the wholesome part of the holiday was a revelation: smooth, open roads, proper dedicated cycle paths, and not a single black cab driver threatening to kill you. But then on the third day, it hit us: we wouldn't be able to take any of the wine back through customs in our hand luggage. This was a potential disaster: my wine friend had picked a few bottles along the way to cherish back home. Fortunately, beingaformerBoyScoutIcameupwithapractical,selfless solution. Yes, there was only one thing for it: we would have to drink the stuff. All apart from one bottle which, we were told, should be laid down for at least 10 years before it reached its best.

Contemporary romance novels do sometimes hedge on the happy endings as well -- or at least, they complicate what a happy ending means.
Read Whole Story
We weren't supposed to be the ones in a perpetual fight. We were the couple who highlighted and dog-eared our marriage books. My wife was still my dream. Yet, something was missing. We both felt it. And we both wondered why.
Great relationships are generally co-created by people who are willing to be wrong, or at the very least recognize the difference between their opinion and what is factually true.
Do we really, truly have to fit into the child-sized evening gown -- the ridiculous standard of our culture's idea of "perfect" -- in order to be loved?
Looking back on my own 50 years of happy and fulfilled married life, I find that the marriages of family members and friends have had a big influence -- both positive and negative.
The myth of the princess wedding with the big dress, tons of flowers, bridesmaids, flower girls and the prince waiting at the end of the aisle prevails, and is what many girls perceive to be the American dream.
How long will it take before she understands that a stable, loving relationship is happily ever after, and that those qualities only occur when both partners commit to enduring the inevitable highs and lows of a longterm love?
We met online. He was from West Virginia; I'm from New Jersey. He was looking for Happily Ever After. I was looking for something to do Saturday nights.
Do such tales represent a step forward? After all, an ambitious -- if naive -- journalist's attempts to succeed at "the job a million girls would kill for," or the story of the daily struggles that comprise a working woman's life -- well, they're infinitely more relatable than, say, Cinderella.
The first couple has tried to preserve their "date night tradition." We have too -- maybe we can double? On our most recent date night, we couldn't actually afford to leave our bedroom.

Determining Tonage
What is the formula for determining what size AC unit is needed? I know that there are many different factors, however I am just looking for a high level rule of thumb calculation. The home is a raised ranch in NJ, approximately 1750 Sq FT
sq footage divided by 400 usually gets you close. In your case, you would probably need a 4 or 4.5 ton unit.
first, you must take into consideration the size of your furnace and ductwork, for every ton of refrigeration 400 CFM of air flow are needed, if the fan or the duct cant handle the CFM then you are going to have all sorts of problems with the new A/C, check the ductwork and furnace and dont go crazy over the top, bigger is not better, for a house like your I'd go with a 2.5 tons unit if the fan/duct allows for it.

Business risk means the chance of losses connected to the assets and the earning potential of a business. It means more than just assets listed on a balance sheet, it includes those things plus employees, customers, and reputation are at risk of loss.
Market risk means uncertainty connected to a particular investment decision. When a small business is started there is the uncertainty surrounding whether it will be successful or not. This is an example of market risk.
Pure risk means uncertainty connected to a situation where only loss or no loss can occur. There is no a possibility for gain in a pure loss situation. An example of this is fire insurance on a building; either there is a fire or there isn't a fire but there isn't a middle ground.

Mobile Know-It-All: Encyclopedia Britannica on iPhone Will Old-School Your Silicon Valley Ass
by Steve Smith on Nov 30, 4:44 PM
It was once an upper-middle-class status symbol like no other in the smartly accessorized home of the American 1940s, 50s and 60s. That long shelf of dark-spined volumes from Encyclopedia Britannica spoke to your commitment to your children's education, to serious thought, to even more serious conspicuous consumption. And now the full contents of the encyclopedia, all 80,000 articles, is available for a mere $1.99 a month on the iPhone.

Even President Obama Had A Cyber-Monday Mobile Sale
by Steve Smith on Nov 29, 12:46 PM
While decidedly less crowded and rambunctious, yesterday's Cyber Monday proved to be just as noisy and hype-filled as last week's shopping Super Bowl of a Black Friday. The emails were flying into inboxes all weekend, and anyone who subscribed to mobile alerts also got bombarded with the specials. And lo and behold, even our president got into the act. "Get 10% off $10 or more today in the Obama 2012 store using the discount code MONDAY10%" read the SMS message I got on my phone on Monday afternoon.

The 'Charlie Brown-iest' App Becomes T-Day Bestseller
by Steve Smith on Nov 28, 12:55 PM
This holiday weekend an old media favorite rocketed to the top of a new media chart, as Loud Crow Interactive and Peanuts Worldwide's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" ($6.99) digital book app topped the entertainment bestsellers in the iTunes iPad App Store. The hybrid experience combines the audio track from the famous 1965 TV special with interactive storybook features and narration from the original voice of Charlie Brown in the early specials, Peter Robbins.

Google And Apple to Grab Share of Mobile Wallets
by Steve Smith on Nov 25, 10:54 AM
ABI Research is already predicting that the big players in smartphone operating systems, Google and Apple, are going to be important forces in the market despite the carriers, or mobile network operators (MNOs) trying to dominate the market. The company says that the MNOs may have a majority share of the NFC and mobile wallet field in the short run, but Google and Apple will cut into market share between 2012 and 2016.

Are We Ready for a Mobile-Only Shopping Experience?
by Steve Smith on Nov 22, 11:11 PM
Veterans of the digital space will remember back in the day that lame-brained guy who holed himself up in his house with his connected PC for a year to demonstrate he could live on Internet alone. He was interviewed for a while by all the morning shock jocks, had dot-com sponsors and even hosted a webcast concert in his home at one point. It devolved into silliness after a while. It was a stunt to prove the maturity of the Internet economy. This was the first thing that came to mind when an old buddy of Mediapost's -- Ben Gaddis, ...

Amazon Shopping App Gets Into Augmented Reality 'Flow'
by Steve Smith on Nov 22, 11:55 AM
The shopping apps keep coming as Black Friday approaches. From price predictors in the new Decide.com app to multiple 2D code readers in the Lucky magazine Shopper app, everyone has a bit of a gimmick now. Rolling out with less fanfare -- and beta written all over it -- is the very interesting Flow app in the iOS App Store from Amazon's A9.

Decide.com Price Predictor Enters The Aisle Wars
by Steve Smith on Nov 21, 12:04 PM
The cell phone has the ability to hijack a customer from a retailer just as surely as if a rival salesperson were skulking a store looking to poach customers. The war for retail mindshare is now going on inside the store itself, as just about any good third-party app can tell you of a better price or source for the product you are considering with a simple UPC scan.

You've Been 'Snookied'
by Steve Smith on Nov 17, 4:06 PM
TV star, partygoer, bestselling scribe Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has become an icon of something in our culture, and as soon as I figure out what that is, I will write a follow-up blog post. For now, the pint-sized "Jersey Shore" star is just spinning the joke off in countless directions while she still can. MTV already has a Snooki iOS app that lets you superimpose the reality TV starlet's face on your own photos.

Starbucks Augments Our Coffee Reality
by Steve Smith on Nov 15, 1:07 PM
Truth be told: my coffee drinking is legendary. In the mornings when I speed-drink the wake-up mug to the OMMA shows where the coffee urn is conveniently situated right where this emcee can grab it quickly without veering far from the hand mike, I am devoted to the glorious bean. If I get to 9 a.m. without a few hundred milligrams of caffeine in the bloodstream, I may start hallucinating.But now Starbucks is letting visions of sugarplum fairies dance before my eyes even while I am downing my high-test fuel.

Jennifer Hudson is joining American Idol as a judge next season. E! News reports that "multiple sources confirm" the deal has been signed, making Hudson the first former contestant to return to the show in a judging capacity. FOX is wisely trying for an Idol alum theme to draw in once-loyal viewers after the massive ratings drop for season 12: as reported earlier this week, Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken are also in the running for the remaining two judging spots for season 13, and E! says Clarkson is close to inking a deal for one of those judges' chairs. FOX has yet to comment on the reports.

Town of Tessalit in Mali falls to French
Hours later, a building guarded by Malian soldiers at the scene of the attack was splattered in blood. The mangled, charred remains of the motorcycle lay in a heap nearby. The Malian soldiers said area residents had taken the man's remains away and buried them before sunset, as local Muslim custom dictates.
Residents who heard the blast from their mud-walled homes on the dusty road nearby described the attack.
"It shook so loudly I thought it had hit my house," resident Agali Ouedraogo said.
Fears have been high of such attacks since the discovery of industrial-strength explosives in Gao earlier this week.
France intervened in its former colony after the armed Islamists, who had taken control over northern Mali in April, began pushing south toward the capital. Several African nations have also contributed troops to the intervention force.
France has raised with the U.N. Security Council the possibility of establishing a U.N. peacekeeping operation in Mali.
France's U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud told reporters that he started discussions on the issue during closed council consultations on Mali on Wednesday. He said a U.N. force would deploy only when security conditions permit.
U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said there is widespread international support for replacing the current military operation with a U.N. peacekeeping operation, but this would require approval by the Malian government.
Ahmed reported from Timbuktu, Mali

Turtles Falling From the Sky
Mar 18th, 2009 by Alicia
Since I mentioned our google search for "philosopher killed by turtle," a couple of people asked me about it. Here's the rest of the story!
Aeschylus was an Athenian dramatist born around 525 B.C. He wrote many plays, a few of which still remain. Legend has it that a fortune teller predicted that he would die from something falling from heaven. Whether this is true or not, history says he did die when an eagle flying overhead mistook his bald head for a rock and dropped a turtle on it. (Eagles drop turtles onto rocks to crack open their shells to eat them.)
I found a few references like this one with more about the prediction:
The following story — probably untrue — is told about the Greek tragic poet Aeschylus. After discovering from his stars that he would die at a certain time by an object falling on his head, Aeschylus fled to the desert, intending to remain there until the fatal moment had passed. Seating himself in a wide open space, with nothing but the blue sky above him, Aeschylus felt reasonably safe. But a large eagle, carrying a turtle in its beak, flew over, and mistaking the poet's bald head for a rock, dropped the turtle on it to break its shell, thereby killing Aeschylus and fulfilling the prediction that he would die by an object falling on his head!
And this one:
Aeschylus was a famous Greek dramatist who died in 456BC when a prediction that he would be killed by a blow from heaven came true. An eagle carrying a tortoise dropped the tortoise on his head.
Aeschylus was considered one of the most important playwrites of his time and he introduced many elements into theater like elaborate costumes and having more than one actor. He'd probably be soundly annoyed at being remembered for such a goofy death instead of his contributions! It sure is an interesting story though. My kids love it and I wanted to find out more, hence the search.
Now you know the rest of the story!

FANTASTIC!!! I know this is 3 years later, and I don't know you, but I googled this story and found it here! I remember reading it in an old Ripley's book, and wanted to use it as an illustration for a children's message on how fear can keep us from doing cool things. I think in Ripley's it said he stayed inside because he feared being struck by lightning. At any rate, GOOD STORY!!!

Author(s): Nussbaum, Martha C.
ISBN 10: 0691126259. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Should laws about sex and pornography be based on social conventions about what is disgusting? Should felons be required to display bumper stickers or wear T-shirts that announce their crimes? This powerful and elegantly written book, by one of America's most influential philosophers, presents a critique of the role that shame and disgust play in our individual and social lives and, in particular, in the law.
Martha Nussbaum argues that we should be wary of these emotions because they are associated in troubling ways with a desire to hide from our humanity, embodying an unrealistic and sometimes pathological wish to be invulnerable. Nussbaum argues that the thought-content of disgust embodies "magical ideas of contamination, and impossible aspirations to purity that are just not in line with human life as we know it." She argues that disgust should never be the basis for criminalizing an act, or play either the aggravating or the mitigating role in criminal law it currently does. She writes that we should be similarly suspicious of what she calls "primitive shame," a shame "at the very fact of human imperfection," and she is harshly critical of the role that such shame plays in certain punishments.
Drawing on an extraordinarily rich variety of philosophical, psychological, and historical references--from Aristotle and Freud to Nazi ideas about purity--and on legal examples as diverse as the trials of Oscar Wilde and the Martha Stewart insider trading case, this is a major work of legal and moral philosophy.

Exhaust System leaks
I replaced the exhaust system on a older Catalina 30 with a Universal 25 diesel. I used bronze pipe from WM. I was told by one mechanic to put the pipe together dry as any lubricant or sealer would be destroyed by the heat anyway. I tightened it down with a 3' pipe wrench, it was tight. After a few weeks the pipe is loose again. Another mechanic said I should use Teflon.
The engine mounts were loose and the muffler was not bolted down.
I had them just screw down the muffler, but think the boards it is screwed to are rotten. Tightened down the engine but am now worried about engine alignment.
Put the pipe back together with Teflon.
What are my chances?

03 September 2013 08:45 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China's Wuhan Petrochemical restarted its 300,000 tonne/year HDPE unit in Hubei province on 3 September, a source close to the company said on Tuesday.
The HDPE unit, which was started up in late August this year, was shut on 30 August unexpectedly for maintenance.
The company is producing HDPE pipe grade at the plant, the source said, adding that the plant's operating rate is low, although the exact run rate was not known.
Wuhan Petrochemical is a joint venture between Sinopec and South Korea's SK Group.

Hyderabad police on Tuesday busted the fraud in the engineering semester exam answer sheets of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University by arresting four university contract workers and four former engineering students.
The accused used to take out answer sheets sent to the examination branch office for evaluation and give them to the students who would write again before returning them. The contract workers would put the answer sheets back in the office without arousing suspicion, said Commissioner's Task Force (East) Inspector R.G. Siva Maruthi.
The contract workers and former students were charging Rs.20,000 to Rs.25,000 for each exam answer sheet, and thus making huge money. An amount of Rs.3.45 lakh, 17 answer sheets, eight mobile phones, and a bike were seized from the arrested persons. The fraud began nearly three months ago when Shaik Manju Malik, 22, former engineering student who failed in three subjects, approached B. Mangilal, 25, lift operator in JNTU campus at Kukatpally, seeking his help for passing the exams.
The lift operator, in turn, contacted D. Parashuram, 24, M. Narender, 24, B. Bheemudu, 22, all working in examination branch, to bind the answer sheets. They joined hands with V. Nagarjuna Reddy, 22, L.S. Chandra, 22, and B.S. Bharath, 21, former engineering students who failed in some subjects. The two groups of contract workers and ex-students would share the money equally between them. By tearing off one page of the OMR sheet attached to the answer sheet, the university authorities made it difficult for others to identify the answer sheet written by a student. "To overcome this, the students would put star or circle mark on the backside of answer sheets," the police said. This made it easy for the contract workers to identify the answer sheet of "their client". Later, they would tie the answer sheets to their legs with rubber bands and hand them over to the students after coming out of the examination branch building. "The student would write answers at their home or any convenient place and return them to the gang," said the investigators.
