Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor.
The term cancer refers to malignant tumors. They can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
Lung cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the lungs. There are two types of lung cancers:
The following can cause damage to the cells in the lungs, leading to lung cancer:
These factors increase your chance of developing lung cancer:
Symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will also ask about:
Tests may include:
Once lung cancer is found, staging tests are done to find out if the cancer has spread. The goal of treatment is to eliminate the cancer and/or control the symptoms.
Surgery involves removing the tumor and nearby tissue. Lymph nodes may also need to be removed. The type of surgery depends on the location of the tumor, such as:
Radiation therapy
is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This may also be used to relieve symptoms, such as shortness of breath. External radiation is usually used to treat lung cancer. With this treatment, radiation is directed at the tumor from a source outside of the body.
the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. This may be given in many forms, including pill, injection, and via a catheter. Chemotherapy is often used to kill lung cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body.
Researchers continue to study ways to treat lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute considers these potential therapies:
Other treatments that are being researched include:
If you are diagnosed with lung cancer, follow your doctor's
To reduce your risk of getting lung cancer:
The American Lung Association and American Cancer Society both suggest that screening for lung cancer with a type of
CT scan
may be considered if you are a smoker (or former smoker), aged 55-74 years, and have a history of heavy smoking (such as one pack a day for 30 years).

text: I have owned a couple and they are no doubt in my top 3 bows. I am shooting the Helim this year and will say my groups are just as good as they are with the Elements. It all comes down to personal preference with lots of good choices today. What I do like about the Helim over the Element is price,draw cycle and less side torque on the cables, everything else would be a wash for me.

In the beginning was paradise
Grands crus Hawaii Kona
The elixir that flows in Hawaii like a rejuvenating spring is the source of its Eden-like youthfulness.
This Big Island is indebted to lava flows for its heavenly coffee: the taste of paradise coveted the world over. Nespresso is devoting a Special Reserve called Hawaii Kona to this exclusive crop.
A WRINKLE IN THE WATER, LIKE A THOUGHTFUL FROWN ON THE SMOOTH BROW OF THE PACIFIC. FROM THE AIR, HAWAII'S LARGEST ISLAND SEEMS LOST IN REVERIE, A PEACEFUL AND TENDER LAND OF FIRE THAT DREAMS OF A PAST LIFE IN THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN. The lava of two active volcanoes flows quietly, drawing up its source of eternal youth from the freshest layers of the earth's mantle, and constantly renewing the island's basalt surface. This rugged outcrop is shaped with roads as smooth as leather straps, a lunar landscape formed from the colours of fresh tarmac blending into the volcanic rock. Drive on them and you feel the warmth emanating from this newborn soil, such is the sense that the Hawaiian archipelago, so recently emerged from the womb of the earth, is the newest that the New World has to offer. It is as if this place is still in the confusion of the unborn child, full of the promise of life to come. As though Creation was meeting in plenary session to debate the identity of the child's father. For this peacefully tumultuous land is something of an eclectic mix: volcanic mountains, cracked deserts, rolling hills, vast prairies, poisonous jungles, active lava fields, impassable glaciers. Even surfing, the dangerous game of Hawaii's original inhabitants, bears witness to this basic lack of inhibition as surfers soar on humungous waves which rise on the curve of the horizon.
One of the world's most precious coffees – and the only one grown in the United States – owes its existence to this unruly island. The name "Kona", which is also the name of the area it comes from, means "under the wind". Harvested in the lee of the trade winds on the western coast of the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, this rare coffee, "with notes of freshly ground sky", comes from one of the scarcest varieties in the world. The island is a little smaller than Jamaica – it only takes four hours to go round it in a car – and has only 2000 acres of coffee plants across several hundred farms, most of which are family-owned. As these growers prepare to commemorate two hundred years since the little tree was introduced to the archipelago, Nespresso has decided to celebrate this miraculous coffee by dedicating a limited – by necessity – collector's edition to it. "Kona" was already highly prized by nineteenth century connoisseurs. Tom Greenwell, undisputed patriarch of the island's coffee-growers, proudly displays a certificate of excellence above his desk which was awarded to his great-grandfather at the Universal Exposition of 1873 in Vienna. And the Austrians really know their coffee: it was they who introduced Europeans to this mysterious commodity, found in the luggage of a sultan defeated outside their capital. According to the owner of the Greenwell farm, the incredible quality of Hawaiian crus can be explained by a number of perfectly synchronised coincidences. First of all there is the youth of this soil dotted with volcanic rocks, producing a good, dark, loose earth which is porous and nutritious – perfect for coffee plant roots, and containing sufficient nitrogen to protect against potential diseases. The atmosphere is just as important. It is conditioned by the island's five mountain peaks, some of which are volcanically active, and all dominated by Mauna Kea, a colossus which would outstrip Everest by half a mile if measured from its base at the sea bed. Clouds arriving from other skies are left hanging as though from a peg before this unforeseen titan, forming a vast, celestial cover against the blazing heat of a tropical day. Contrary to the popular belief that Hawaii's Big Island is an eternally sunny paradise, its glorious mornings invariably give way to melancholy afternoons, the air sparkling with fine rain like soda water. This hydrating screen perfectly regulates the climate, providing optimum conditions for coffee plant photosynthesis. Finally, local varieties have not changed since they arrived on the islands in 1813. The elegant fruit of Arabica Typica, for example, which produces a clear, smooth coffee, is particularly prone to infection. Here, 3,850 km from its first shores, in damp isolation, the same crop has lit upon a blessed sanctuary. While its American cousins grown in Brazil, Colombia or Guatemala were "improved" to make them more resistant, but at the expense of their distinctive aroma, Hawaii's isolation put it beyond the reach of pests. The crop could be maintained in virginal purity in a state of untainted innocence.
The overseer of the Greenwell farm, "Pepe" Miranda, speaks of the difficulty of harvesting on the slopes of a volcano which are too steep for machinery. Plots are harvested by hand, and the workers are only to pick ripe fruit, just as the red pulp begins to turn crimson. During the season, which lasts from August to January, the same tree might be harvested around ten times. The coffee is then subjected to the wet process: after depulping, it is washed in fresh water then dried in the sun on traditional racks with removable canopies, named "hoshidanas" by their Japanese inventors. These Japanese pioneers were as much gardeners as farmers and had a profound influence on the development of the coffee tree around Kona. At the beginning of the last century, they committed to working on the Hawaiian sugar plantations for three years to pay for their passage to Brazil, where they hoped for a small patch of land. A few chose to stay indefinitely alongside other settlers arriving from around the world: from the Philippines, Portugal, then later from Panama, Columbia and Micronesia... Here, as anywhere in the United States, labour is expensive: where a worker in El Salvador might be paid 8 dollars for a day's work, the going rate is 10 dollars an hour in Hawaii. But Kona coffee producers have managed to protect themselves against global competition by emphasising the unique nature of their coffee. This is achieved through meticulous agricultural practices which, at first glance, seem excessive: whether that be the green harvest (when some of the cherries are removed from the tree so that the remaining fruit has more taste), or maintaining plants between rows of coffee trees, to stimulate water stress. Sharon Wood, owner of the Arianna plantation, comments: "Every little step matters, from the early cuttings to our warehousing practices. One tiny mistake, and a year's work is lost, collapsing like a house of cards." She and her husband got into growing this beautiful bean after they fell in love with it during their honeymoon. The couple, who hail from California, bought 40 acres on the fertile slopes of the volcano Hualalai, and named it after their only daughter, as if to ward against failure in this crazy venture. To recreate the flavours which first drew them in, "a bouquet of fruity aromas with subtle, nutty notes," Sharon reveals she followed the advice of more experienced farmers. Hawaiian producers are happy to share their secrets, because of the "aloha" spirit which gives the 50th American state its name. It is an untranslatable word which expresses the sunny disposition and gracious, kind nature of the inhabitants of this string of lost islands... That incredible goodwill evoked by the melodious murmur of the ukulele, smooth and predictable as a sea of glass. Sharon adds, "Kona isn't simply a coffee paradise, it's also heaven for those who grow it."
Whether riding the ocean or the lava, Hawaiians frequently brave a sometimes ferocious nature: it makes victory all the more satisfying.
The only coffee grown in the United States perfectly encapsulates the exuberant character of its homeland: an island no bigger than Jamaica, yet it fosters all the landscapes of a continent.
Kona coffee flourishes on the western side of the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago. The area barely exceeds 2000 acres and is a miraculous pinprick in the immense Pacific Ocean, possessing all the necessary conditions for this priceless fruit to grow. Its scarcity means that some distributors dilute a tiny portion of the sought-after bean in a much greater volume of ordinary coffee. Nespresso guarantees a "pure origin" coffee, which is why this Special Reserve is such a limited edition. To ensure that every cup truly displays its incredible qualities, our Experts only select the largest, best quality beans, and make sure that they are kept in their protective "parchment" until the very last moment. The bean is then roasted to achieve a perfectly even dark caramel colour, then ground to "medium" grade. These two operations determine the quality of the coffee in your cup: constant vigilance is required to ensure that the most delicate flavours are locked in and to prevent any bitter nuances from developing.

ISU Athletics Participates in Day of Caring
AMES, Iowa – The day before the Iowa State vs. Iowa football game ISU athletics department staff were busy making final preparations for the big game. Despite their busy schedules, however, several athletics department employees as well as a number of ISU student-athletes took time to participate in the United Way of Story County's Day of Caring.
Janet Lovell rallied support and organized a team of athletics department staff to assist in the day of volunteering. Members of the athletics department were assigned to assist at ChildServe on the east side of Ames along with members of the ISU Food Science and Human Nutrition Department. ChildServe is a not-for-profit organization that partners with families to help children with special health care needs live a great life.
"In this department, the busier we get, the more energy we have and the more fruitful the results of our labors," Lovell said. "Volunteering has now become an across-the-board activity in our department, which shows in the Day of Caring with student-athletes, staff and administrators pulling together to form a team. The numbers doubled from last year's Day of Caring, and will undoubtedly continue to increase as people learn that the more you give, the more you receive."
Volunteers helped with a number of projects both inside and outside of the ChildServe building. They spread new sand in all of the play areas, helped clean in classrooms, removed mulch in the front flowerbeds and replaced it with rocks, as well as several other miscellaneous projects.
Student-athletes from the wrestling, softball and women's basketball teams all participated in the projects along with athletics department staff. Last year more than 350 volunteers from over 30 businesses and ISU departments participated in the event.
"The Day of Caring was a great and fun opportunity for our student-athletes and department to help our community as a team," ISU head softball coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. "It is rewarding to see how a few hours of work can make such a big difference."
The theme of the day for all volunteers was "Live United." On the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, it was a great day for all involved to give back and reflect on the significance of that day in our nation's history.

UCM's Sleep In to Help Out! at United Community Ministries
Saturday, 05 October, 2013|
Sign up to participate in UCM's "virtual" event.... Sleep In to Help Out!
Please join us! There's no obligation to attend anything: you and your family can spend your evening as you like, be it alone with a good book or with friends, a quiet walk or a movie -- or even get to sleep early! No need to get dressed up, get in the car, or spend time commuting....
UCM's goal is to have lots of people "attend" our Sleep In To Help Out virtual event, by the Nov. 2 event deadline.

That's like a $10 per event participant bonus "match." Your $20 youth registration fee becomes a $30 gift to UCM, and a $30 adult registration means $40 will come to UCM. Where else can you get a 30-50% instant return on your investment? We think it's a pretty generous payback to help people in need, and hope you'll agree!

Respect HB's decision and move on! He's still a part of the Ames community and you can't blame a kid for making a decision based on what HE wants not us! No more talk of not allowing Ames to play in Hilton, etc. He's a 17 year old kid, we should still be proud that a kid from Ames was the number 1 recruit in the country and will be playing for a likely hall of fame coach and a storied program.
Go Cubs Go!
Thanks Travman for being my father today...
Considering we're coming off three straight losing seasons I can see why he was relaxant to stay home. UNC was the safe choice.
Respect my opinion not to wish him well on the bball court.
Fanatic #25
Good points, but I still think it sucks.
"I believe the state color for Alabama should be primer," Larry the Cable Guy.
It's his decision, sure. But make the decision in a manner that is respectful to people that care greatly about you.
How about we all rip on Roy Williams ??
"We are first and foremost an educational institution that values integrity, honesty and treating others with fairness and respect".
-ISU President Gregory Geoffroy; circa May 2003.
Can't blame him for picking the school he wanted to go to...but it's certainly understandable to be a little disappointed in how much he's used our facilities and handled his recruitment the last week.
Look I'm disappointed to but its his life not ours and if you guys are going to let this decision rile you up that much you need to take a step back and realize there are more important things in life to get worked up over.
I get what you are saying BUT it was kind of a ****** way af announcing it. If you are going to go to UNC don't invite us. Invite you're special friends and family, not US!
True, but honestly the kid doesn't intrigue me anymore. I hope he has a great career but I'm sure I will never follow it. I think every time I do see him play I will get sick.
Travman... If you start another thread I bet people will listen to you. Worry about yourself and you'll be ok.
That's fine he picks UNC, but I don't like how the whole thing was handled. I know he is 17.
Why dont we just suck Wesley's Johnson at the same time? I congratulate Harrison but I am very disappointed in the way he did this. All the hoopla for what...a trip to the east coast.

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. -- Police are searching for a man suspected of falsely reporting bombs at two Henry County grocery stores.
Henry County Police Maj. Jason Bolton said the bomb threats were called in on Dec. 1 from a payphone at the Sunoco on Highway 138 in Stockbridge.
A person of interest, whose name may be Mitch, told 911 operators that bombs were going to go off at two different Kroger stores in Stockbridge, Bolton said.
Officers evacuated and searched both stores, but did not find any bombs or explosive materials.
Investigators are now working to identify the man accused of making the call.
Anyone with information in this case is asked to call Henry County Police at 770-288-8264.

Suppression Isn't Transformation: Where Can We Find Real Change?
"Suppression is not the same thing as transformation, and it is always the latter that the Spirit seeks to effect (2 Cor 3:18)."
– Sinclair B. Ferguson, In Christ Alone
We spend a lot of time and effort trying to force ourselves to be people that we, at the core, are not. But solid Christian character is not a simple act of will or resolution. It is not, for example, forcing ourselves to suppress pride for a moment or doing an act of love It is to have a God-wrought transformation so that we are humble and loving.
Connection to Secret Sin
I see a connection here between secret sin and suppression. If we feel like we are hiding secret sin – that we put on the outward show of a hypocrite – it is because we are trying to suppress our sin before men instead of seeking inward transformation before God.
Source of Real Change
We find real change when we confess that we can't effect it in ourselves and instead turn to Christ.
That is part of the message of the Gospel: In Christ, by the Spirit, transformation is promised.

Workshop Overview
Social media question asking, in which people use Internet technologies to solicit help from other people, is an increasingly common way for people to find information. This workshop aims to bring together researchers studying social media question asking from a variety of perspectives, including social scientists seeking to understand and describe the phenomenon and those seeking to create improved experiences through innovation in system building or user interface design. At the workshop, participants will review the current state of research in this area, and discuss issues relevant to the social media question asking research community, such as how to create public data sets, standardize metrics and measures, and handle privacy and ethical issues. Following the workshop we hope that participants will join us in sharing our enthusiasm for recent developments in social media question asking research with a broader audience through contributions to an edited volume or journal special issue on this topic.
Social interactions mediated by information and communication technologies often play a role in information seeking [4, 13]. One common form that such interactions can take is social media question asking, in which a user appropriates Internet technologies to ask a question in natural language to either their own social circle [7, 11, 12, 15], strangers [2, 9, 14], or topical experts [6, 10, 17]. Researchers have recently begun to explore the role of social media question asking in the larger information-seeking ecology [4, 9, 12, 18], and have even built tools that attempt to integrate traditional web search into online social media question asking environments (e.g., socially embedded search engines [5]).
Studies of social media question asking have investigated the phenomenon on a variety of platforms, including social network sites like Facebook [7, 12, 15, 19] and Twitter [3, 14, 16], community Q&A sites like Yahoo! Answers [1, 9] and StackOverflow [10], expertise-oriented venues like Aardvark [6], Quora [17], and IM-an-Expert [21], mobile venues like Naver Mobile Q&A [8], and human-computation tools like Mechanical Turk [2]. Social media question asking in specific communities has also been a topic of inquiry, including investigations into social media question asking in the enterprise [20], among the blind [2], in Asia [22], and among mobile phone users [8].
This workshop seeks to engage the social media question asking research community, including those pursuing foundational work on identifying and understanding social media question asking from multiple perspectives. We envision that participants will employ a variety of conceptual and methodological approaches to questions of interest, including the use of social science theories and methods as well as the development and study of new tools that support social media question asking. Additional relevant themes include meta-issues that are important for the social media question asking research community, such as the creation and availability of shared data sets, evaluation standards and metrics, and relevant methods and measures. Finally, because questions shared via social media often contain personal information not meant for public consumption, we will pay close attention to privacy and ethical issues related to data collection and interpretation.

text: This is a copy of a letter I sent to Matt Stover, concerning his book, Heroes Die. He asked that I consider putting it up in the hope it might spark some discussion on how different people view a work. Anyway a request of this nature is something I take seriously so here goes. I have just finished reading Heroes Die and have been somewhat surprised in the book and my reaction and thoughts about it. ~~~~~~~ To be honest I was off put at first by the comments on the many forums and boards concerning this work, most seemed to concentrate on the macho/male/violence content and attitude/nature of the main character in the book. This made me think it was not my type of book. On reading it I have found I enjoyed it and formed my own opinions about the character and his world. I feel that the two worlds or existences that Caine lives reflect a schism in his personality. That his fear and what he sees as his cowardice when dealing with the "real" world and its rigid caste system, corrupt society and the way everyone uses everyone else, (wait, am I talking about an fictional world here ) has lead to a form of impotence. He dare not act for fear of loosing the very things he believes he needs, his position, caste, money etc. It is only when faced with losing the one thing that was given to him freely (not bought or in any way given as a reward by the society he lives in) the love and companionship of another human being. The soul mate you might say if you believe in such. Even though at the being of the book it seems this relationship has been lost, it hasn't as far as Hari/Caine is concerned. That he has to fight for this love in another world a world where he believes he is free from the very things that bind his existence elsewhere adds another layer. Because he is not free, is he? Caine is as much bound by the same things in that world as he is in the real world. They take a different form, but they are extensions of the "real" world holding him just as tight. As I read the book I began to realise that under all the various layers, the comments on society, class and the using of others for ambition, personal gain and pleasure. The hollowness that can lie at the heart of and society, there is another story, least for me. Strip everything away from us and what is the one thing worth fighting for and even dying, the love of another human being, given freely. To have one person that sees you, the whole you with all your flaws and still loves you. Accepting what you are, wanting you as you are. To give yourself completely to that other person and they to you, even if part of you doesn't think it will last for ever, not to do it, to do everything to protect it is something you can't contemplate. Anyway back to Caine, by fighting for the one thing that others would dismiss as unimportant, a mere sensual pleasure(a lot don't get what love is really about and never will), he shatters the bonds that hold him in both worlds and becomes a whole person? Perhaps? He certainly changes both worlds in some respects. You have sir under all the layers written quite a good love story One of the best I have read in a long time, I rate it up there with Joe Haldeman's "Forever War" which for all its comments about the uselessness and waste of war had at its heart a true example of the emotional bond that exists between one human being and another.

We are currently evaluating the Zimbra Appliance for use by our organization and for the past 4 weeks we've run into an issue where every Tuesday at around 6:00am Zimbra begins writing to the zmmailboxd.out log until it fills the drive its on or we stop it. For example, last week it wrote 180Gb to the log in 35mins and this week we caught it at 56Gb. So far our solution has been to have the logs save to a large drive and to reset the service in the morning to stop the log file growing but this obviously is not a good way of doing it.
In the log it seems to be writing several kilobytes of junk on each line, for example a line will look something like the following:
2013-01-22 06:51:53.924:WARNejh.HttpParser:Full [1045690064,-1,m=0,g=16916,p=16916,c=16916]={ xxxxx }{}
where the "xxxxx" is several K of repeating numbers such as 4141414141.... or 585858585858....... Posting the logs would be impractical based on there size (the smallest one is 20Gb) but I can post snipets if they will help.
The full version string from the About box is: 8.0.2_GA_5569.NETWORK Dec 10, 2012 and from the appliance menu: zca-18.104.22.1689532.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

A flat tire on either end or side of your car requires the same action. Any way you tell the story, you had a flat. The soldier on the battlefield or the guard at the bank who kills a person taking property not of their entitlement or bringing real threat , did the acceptable and expected thing. They took out the enemy aka the bad guy. So, The person invading your home or threatening life and limb to you or your family is what, the good guy, the friend ?

"Millions of babies are murdered every year in pre-meditated cold blood."
Shouldn't the doctors who perform the murder of the unborn have to undergo a psychiastric/mental exam?
How about the women who decide to kill their own unborn children? Shouldn't they also undergo a mental evaluation prior to being able to murder the unborn?

Another knee-jerk reaction by dirty politicians.
This ain't about gun control. It is about revenge against conservatives and NRA members. It is about placing a tighter bridle on a free people. A people who already obey the law.
Like unreasonable speed limits, more gun laws will only tend to make criminals out of many law abiding and decent citizens.
100's of children may be killed every yr by a criminal using a gun but millions of babies die every year as a result of doctors exercising their legal right to kill the unborn. For the sake of filthy lucre of course!
This proves that gun control laws (always championed by liberals), are really not about preserving life and protecting children.
You wanna really save lives?
1. As in the days of old, swiftly execute justice, as warranted.
2. Encourage more law abiding citizens to own and/or carry a gun.
3. Always be mindful that violence could happen at any time; be prepared

Despite launching a gun control agenda that threatens to disarm the American people, President Obama has signed a bill that would afford him armed Secret Service protection for life.
"The legislation, crafted by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, rolls back a mid-1990s law that imposed a 10-year limit on Secret Service protection for former presidents. Bush would have been the first former commander in chief affected," reports Yahoo News.
The new bill, which will cost American taxpayers millions of dollars, is a re-instatement of a 1965 law which will see presidents protected for life as well as their children up to age 16.

In the end, these madmen committed MURDER. The penalty is DEATH in almost every state in the USA.
A logical person would conclude that if the you made the possession of a firarm to be ILLEGAL punishable by DEATH, the ONLY people with firearms would be the same Killers who would do it anyway with or without laws.

View inspiring library showcases
To the Editor:
I am writing to invite the Rockville Centre community and our neighbors to view the informative and inspiring showcases designed and executed by our Rockville Centre librarian, Alene Scoblete, now on display through July at the Rockville Centre Public Library.
The display is particularly timely because for the first time this year, same-sex couples in 13 states and the District of Columbia have been granted the full federal protections of legal marriage.
Ms. Scoblete has once again drawn attention to Gay Pride by highlighting relevant books, CDs and DVDs and integrating them with powerful, poignant, and inspirational quotes from famous and notable individuals. The colorful design and layout draw you in while the various topical selections will undoubtedly inform the public about this rich component of the library's collection.
Gaze upon the selections here and reserve any of them for your reading/listening/viewing pleasure. I praise Ms. Scoblete's thorough research, careful curation and creative talents, and encourage everyone to view the outstanding results of her efforts before the end of July.

Rockville Centre
Village should allow competition
To the Editor:
For more than three decades, All Island Transportation has enjoyed being the only taxi game in town, as a result of what must be characterized as a village-regulated monopoly. At its June 3 meeting, the village's Board of Trustees decided to postpone — for up to 60 days — the decision on whether to allow a second taxi company to operate in Rockville Centre ("Still waiting for a cab," June 6--12).
With this 60-day decision deadline fast approaching, I urge Mayor Murray and the board either to end All Island's stranglehold on the local market or to publicly issue a statement that explains, in detail, how preserving All Island's current arrangement is beneficial to the village and its residents.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Cycling Computers in stock than that.View Similar Products
Garmin Edge 200 $0.00
Training with GPS just got easier. This is what makes the Garmin Edge 200 so alluring. It uses cutting edge tech to allow you to pretty much just turn on the computer and go, which should make it as popular with technophobes as it will be with technophiles.
There is no transmitter to mount on your fork or stays. There are no magnets. There is no heart rate monitor. So long as you're moving and the 200 has found satellites, you'll have speed. So long as you have the timer running, you have a recording cycling computer and GPS unit. This way, you know what you're doing now, and you can save it for later. The 200 can be uploaded into Garmin's native Training Center application and Connect training and social media website. The 200 can be uploaded into Map My Ride, Strava, Training Peaks, and WKO+ as well -- anything that can read a .fit file.
The 200 probably looks familiar to you. It should. The case has the same exact dimensions as the popular and more expensive Garmin Edge 500, though since we're talking simple, the takeaway should be that it is small enough to sit unobtrusively atop your stem or handlebars. Like the 500, it also has four buttons in the same layout and the same simple, transferable, mounting system. It's a bit shinier, has fewer features, and can't be upgraded to pick up ANT+ signals from a heart rate monitor transmitter, a speed transmitter, or a power transmitter. If you ride a stationary trainer, the only metric that will work is time.
But because it is stripped down, you have a unit that is not only a great price, but is incredibly simple and straightforward. There is one live data screen that can't be customized (aka can't messed up by an inquisitive friend or kid). On it you will see speed at the top, then distance, then time, and a bottom readout that can toggle between average speed, total ascent and calories. There is a setup screen that gives you four choices: courses, ride, history, and settings. You can recall previous rides to compete against previous rides or just retrace the ride, and you can have the unit direct you back to the start of the ride if you find yourself getting lost on the way. You can also set intervals for time, distance, or location and have the 200 tell you how far you have to go.
As simple as it is, there are some extra features built in for those who want a little more. If you input your body data, the 200 will use an algorithm to roughly compute how many calories you're burning on the ride. If you have an account with Garmin Connect (it's free), you can create or download courses and then put those on the 200 so you can ride them.
The Garmin Edge 200 comes in a box with the unit itself, two bike mounts, an alternating current charger, a USB cable for both connecting to a computer and to power, and user manuals. The unit is 1.9in long by 2.7in wide and 0.8in thick (4.8 x 6.9 x 2.1 cm), with a screen size of 1.2in by 1.4in (3.0 x 3.7 cm). There is a backlight for night and low-light riding. The unit stores up to 130 hours of ride data. The battery should burn for up to 14 hours between charges. The color is Black.

I received the Edge 200 as a gift and love it for outdoors...Could someone direct me to an attachment I could buy so it could read indoors (on a trainer)? Thanks!
good for tracking, bad for strava nerdz
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
(Left) bike park laps recorded with the Garmin Edge 200. (Right) bike park laps recorded with an android phone + strava app
I bought this so I could actually have some semblance of knowledge about how far I'd ridden on longer rides, time elapsed, average speed etc (basically all the fun things you'd want a cycling computer for, and what I'd have to stop and get my phone out of my backpack to find out). The Edge 200 is pretty good for all of those things - it's just spotty in the woods sometimes, and records waay rougher GPS data than my phone does. When I use it on rides with friends who are Strava-ing on their phones, it almost always records hundreds (sometimes even a thousand) less feet of elevation gain than my buddies - what the hell.
For what it is (the lowest-end Garmin model) it's pretty handy. I've never had it run out of battery on me, and normally charge up it via USB whenever I plug it in to sync my rides. Just wish the GPS was a little more fine-grain.. but I guess that's what the fancier models are for.
Worked great...until entering the forest
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The unit acquired a satellite right away and worked great on the open road. But as soon as I got into the forest, the speedometer fluctuated wildly even though I was riding a steady pace. I am guessing this means it lost its satellite lock and if so then it probably wasn't tracking my position. But um, I bought it to keep from getting lost on mountain bike rides so if it doesn't work in the trees, it's useless. I contacted Garmin tech support and am awaiting a response. I suspect this is just the way the unit works. Do all GPS cyclocomputers have this problem?
so simple!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
easy to use! tiny! works with strava! way more accurate than the ipod app! i got hit by a car and it survived the wreckage with only cosmetic damage. to stop it from more damage i started carrying it in my bag instead of on my bike but then i lost it when it fell out of the pocket. i'm going to buy a replacement because it's awesome.
Great for the Basics
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been very happy with the Edge 200. I have done the heart rate and cadence thing, and am over it. This unit does the basics and does them pretty well. The two things that would make this unit better, or make you look at a different unit, would be if it linked to two satellite systems and used a more advanced altimeter system. I've only lost contact a few times and that's been either on the side of a mountain or in dense forest. As for the altimeter, it always shows different values for elevation gain and loss when starting and ending at the same exact spot, and the values aren't off by just a few feet. If I needed to replace this one, I would seriously consider spending extra for the 510, but am not motivated enough to ditch this one for it.
Does the Garmin Edge 200 come with an 'out...
Does the Garmin Edge 200 come with an 'out front mount'? And second, does it (or can it) measure speed in kilometers per hour?
Hey Crooky,
The bike mount that comes with the Edge is designed to best fit the stem or handlebars and can measure in either miles or kilometers.
Pony up and get the Bar Fly to go with this (or any) of the Garmin units. The rubber band mount that comes with it is ok, but doesn't allow for any angle adjustment for better visibility. Also, it's easier to see the unit when it's in front of the stem instead of on it.
is it compatible with Apple?
is it compatible with Apple?
If you're asking whether it can be plugged into an Apple computer to upload data, then the answer is yes.
Yes, Garmin has done a good job with their apps for osx and ios.

Amazing nifty little gadget.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This thing has all the information that you need; no extra useless features, and no gimmicks. It'll show your speed, distance, time, GPS, etc. Just all the straight forward infos. The battery is great, it'll last you a serious amount of miles before it goes out. Also, please don't fall into buying the Front Mount Adapter. You don't need it! Everything you need are inside the box. The front mount will not improve your ride or your view, it'll just cost you more. Well I guess the only thing I wish this thing has, is a bluetooth capability. Just to simply sync it with my iPhone. But that's just me, overall it's a good buy.
Does it store and keep stored the total...
Does it store and keep stored the total distance performed with the bike? Like the overall miles counter in a car?
Yes, this product will keep your total miles on the bike like an odometer until it runs out of memory. That would be a lot of riding, you can always export the files to the Garmin app and clear the local memory.
What is Backcountry warranty on the Garmin...
What is Backcountry warranty on the Garmin Edge 200?
It will be the Same as the Garmin warranty- 1 year.
What more do you need?
Worth every penny, didn't think I'd ever buy a GPS but hats off to Garmin for making an affordable great computer: Light, easy to use, no cables, rechargeable, small, speed, calories (approx), elevation, downloadable, what's not to like.
does this computer track cadence?
Nope, no cadence or heart rate.
once connected to your computer will it...
once connected to your computer will it show you the route you rode
Yes, as well as all sorts of data about your ride. You have the ability to access garmens online map system, which is like Google maps. You can plan out a route and send it to your device, and it just tells you where to go.
This is a really sweet product.

In my opinion, there are a few "classic" items that have seen better days. Take the pleated pant, for instance. Once a star of the men's wardrobe (specifically suiting or khakis in the 80s), it's a look that's been on the back burner for years. Well, it appears DETAILS is eager to bring it back.
Image via details.com
In their video series "The New Classics," the DETAILS editors attempt to debunk some style no-nos by introducing ways to incorporate different silhouettes into your closet. The first in the series is the pleated pant. I applaud the effort to offer advice on sporting new trends or classic styles, but I'm a little afraid of seeing masses of pleated khaki in the future. So, guys, I recommend proceeding cautiously with this look.

Birth Place: Endicott, New York, USA
Sedaris was born into a large family of four girls and two boys on Mar. 29, 1961 in Endicott, NY, but grew up in Raleigh, NC with her mother, Sharon, and father, Lou. Sedaris chose not to attend college, instead forming a baking business with her mother. On a whim, she eventually left North Carolina for Chicago, IL, where she began taking classes at Second City; joining its main stage in the early 1990's - a major accomplishment for any struggling comic. At Second City, she met fellow comics Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello, with whom she would eventually form a longstanding collaborative relationship. A few years after Sedaris' 1993 departure for New York City, Colbert and Dinello joined ... Continue Bio >>

The Summer Nationals - Mayhem At The Aussie SummernatsWritten by on May 2, 2012
The Summernats in Canberra, Australia, is gearhead heaven. When most of us are dealing with the chills of winter in January, those dang Aussies are partying it up. Held since 1988, the Summernats is a huge, three-day car fest that includes a car show, vendors, driving demonstrations, a citywide cruise, rock bands, a search for Miss Summernats, a Horsepower Heroes dyno competition, and a trade show.
None of that really matters, though, because there's also the world-famous burnout battle--which can't really be called just a burnout contest, as it's donut-cutting, sideways-drifting, light-the-tires-on-fire insanity. It's truly a burnout championship that lasts a couple of days, starting with more than 200 entrants who get eliminated until the top 25 compete on Sunday. Gary Myers in his blown '66 Mustang was last year's winner, but he finished Third this year to Warren Eustace in a '74 Holden sedan and Greg Young in a '67 Impala.
The Aussies love their blowers and chrome rims, too, and are not afraid of tearing up the asphalt. Check out some of the photos that Australian photographer Brad McDonald snapped for us. See more at Summernats.com.au/
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
1. Mad Mick Brasher, in his blown, methanol-snorting, small-block–powered KE20 '74 Corolla, is a popular burnout figure in Australia and won this competition a couple of years ago.2. Rodney Walters in his orange Holden HQ lit the tires up quite literally during this fiery burnout. We are not certain what caused the fire, but photographer Brad believes it was a leak from the methanol tank. The engine caught fire shortly after the tires. Check out the flaming chunks of rubber on the pavement.3. Notice anything unusual about this photo? Yeah, that's Nathan Allen's blower belt snapping. This is not the first carnage the '66 Corolla has seen, as two years ago it blew up in a big fireball. This year it returned for the finals after popping the belt.4. Defending champ Gary Myers of Narrandera, New South Wales, was not in his usual '66 Mustang but in a '72 Ford Falcon GT with a 351ci Cleveland laying some purple smoke to match the purple and silver paint. The Ford produces 560 hp at the flywheel.5. Clint Ogilvie from Kilsyth, Victoria, is a common sight at the Summernats in his bright-pink Holden Torana. This was snapped just before his tires blew, but they were his spare burnout meats, shorter than the street tires, which explains the lowered stance in the rear.6. The picture doesn't do Kynan Hall's 700hp '72 Ford Falcon GT justice. It's powered by a 393ci stroker and Blower Shop supercharger.7. A more familiar site for Americans, this '65 Ford Galaxie is one of the only non-blown rides, and one of the few without paint. It runs 545 ci on methanol with a Weiand tunnel-ram and two Holley 750s and produces somewhere around 750 hp to the wheels. It belongs to Matthew Pasini of Sydney.

Which Actors Slimmed Down, Bulked Up or Porked Out the Most?
Actors and actresses who are truly dedicated to their craft go to great lengths to subsume themselves into the characters they play so as to be as convincing and believable as possible. Some attempt to do this by creating complex backstories for their characters to help inform their performances during any given scene. Others go beyond writing subtext to making lifestyle changes that emulate their characters or by living their lives "in character" before and during production so that they will always no how to act and react. Then, there are those rare actors and actresses who are so committed to making their performances believable that they actually risk their lives by undergoing spectacular body transformations, whether shedding weight, packing on muscle, or simply letting themselves go. Help us choose the Top 10 movies containing the most impressive, the most extreme, the most severe body transformations.

Webcast replay: How Notes and Domino 8.5 is changing messaging economics for real-world companies

What's a CIO to do when management wants to cut collaboration costs by 10, 20, 30 percent or more – and at the same time expand the collaboration services available to employees?
This recorded webcast explains how companies have upgraded their collaboration, brought down costs (by 30% or more, on average), increased ROI and improved productivity by upgrading to IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.
In one particularly compelling example, a company with 70,000 Notes users upgraded from Notes/Domino 6.5 to 8.5 and reduced its overall collaboration costs 22%, or $1.4 million annually, through reduced server, storage, operations and licensing costs. This doesn't take into account the productivity gains realized through Notes/Domino 8.5's advanced collaboration capabilities – or the additional $23M that the same company saved by switching from Microsoft Office to Lotus Symphony.Register to replay the webcast here - it's a little over 55 minutes long but you can easily move through it at your own pace.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A 19-year-old man is charged with misdemeanor sexual abuse for an incident at L'Enfant Plaza in January, say Metro Transit Police. They say he is accused of sexually assaulting the same woman twice -- once in January and once in February -- while she was riding Metro rail but that Williams is only charged with the January assault.
According to Metro Transit Police, on January 29, Williams allegedly grabbed the woman from behind while she was waiting on the New Carrollton/Largo Town Center platform. She reportedly got away from him to board the train.
Then, on February 2, Williams allegedly approached the same woman and touched her inappropriately at the emergency doors of an Orange Line train headed to Vienna. This time, a bystander intervened and used the emergency intercom to contact the train operator, say Metro Transit Police. Metro Transit Police were requested and Williams ran off of the train, say police.
After a bulletin was issued to all officers with Williams' description and photo, he was arrested on Thursday by Metro Transit Police. Friday, he was charged for the L'Enfant Plaza. Charges are pending for the second incident, say police.

I've loved Biotone products for years, keep coming back to them over and over. This gel provides good glide, absorbs in by the end of the massage, and clients love it.
After seeing this product only had 2 stars, I had to counter! I've been using this gel for years. It has the right glide and absorption, works great for clients with a lot of body hair and has a lovely, light scent. I highly recommend it for most types of massage.
I had purchased the basic biotone gel in the past and was happy with it, so i thought this would be a nice change. Nope! This product is way too watery, doesn't absorb well into the skin and provides way too much glide. Good for hairy clients, but i wish i hadn't purchased a whole gallon
Switched to this light freshly scented gel from the unscented hypoallergenic and my clients love it. Biotone gels are the best!

We continue to migrate from several Horde installations to a single-server Zimbra install, running in a VMware Server vm on a SuSE SLES10 host. Zimbra in the vm is 4.0GA OSS on SuSE 10.0.
Thought I'd share two things and ask if there is a bugzilla OSS users can use to file bug reports.
Minor Bug:
It is possible through the admin interface to configure maximum message size/attachment sizes greater than the smallest mailbox quota size. Postfix runs, but throws a fatal error in the log. Of course, you can do this on any old Postfix/Cyrus setup, but Zimbra's "fit 'n finish" quality everywhere else is so high we were surprised to see this is allowed.
Feature Request:
On the Accounts tab of the admin interface, may we request that the "Description" column please be sortable? We have a multi-domain environment and use the Description field to enter the name of the company. Handy when a user calls asking to have you reset their password; you can scan through a long list faster. But, this would be even better if this column were sortable.
Very neat product; looking forward to SLES10 support and the Documents functionality going GA.
