After numerous batches of spy shots received from our paparazzi located in Germany starting last fall, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Wagon has been finally unveiled, showing us its brand-new rear end and additional cargo space.
Longer and wider than its predecessor, the new estates boasts a best-in-class cargo space when the rear seats are folded and comes with additional rear legroom and improved head room and shoulder room throughout the entire cabin.
Some of the details are still under wraps, but we do know that the wagon will receive most of the engines found in the C-Class Sedan . At least all the four-pots and a six-cylinder for the time being, with other options to be added later on.
Scheduled to spend its first weeks at the 2014 Leipzig Motor Show, the midsize estate will start hitting European showrooms in September. And unless you're planning to move to the Old Continent over the next few years, there's a big chance you won't get to drive one because Mercedes isn't too keen on bringing it to the United States.

Spy shots
September, 27 2013 - First time on the road
The first sighting had very little camo on it, which is no surprise, considering it will essentially look like any other C-Class, just with a station wagon back end.
November 29, 2013 - C-Class Wagon camo free
Peek-a-boo, the C-Class Wagon was caught completely camo-free, and we got a good look at all of the goodies. Then again, it is pretty much what we expected to see: a C-Class with a big backside.
December, 23 2013 - Exclusive Spy Shots of the C-Class Wagon
The prototype caught testing today by our spy photographers wears only light camouflage, so it's pretty clear that it will feature the same design language as the sedan version.
We expect an exterior inspired by the recently launched S-Class , with a two-louver grille and new headlights, just like on the S-Class with a more of an arc design. In general, the next C-Class will be defined by sportier, more pronounced lines that will help it look more elegant and aggressive.
April 25, 2014 - Nearly Camo-Free on a Truck
Nothing too new to see here, except that the car is ready for production, giving us more hope of seeing it in Paris this year.
Essentially a 2015 C-Class with a station wagon rear end, the new estate model is longer and wider than the outgoing version
With the brand new C-Class Sedan having been unveiled last year, the Wagon version had very few secrets to hold on to as far as its design was concerned. Essentially a 2015 C-Class with a station wagon rear end, the new estate model is longer and wider than the outgoing version. The wheelbase sees a 3.1-inch increase to 111.8 inches, while the overall length and width have gained 3.7 inches and 1.5 inches respectively.
Besides being a practical family and goods hauler, the C-Class Wagon doesn't miss on the attractive looks and the sportiness of the new C-Class. The vehicle is equally impressive when viewed from the front, while the rear fascia has been carefully modeled and blended into the new, modern design. Just like the Sedan, the Wagon is also available with two different faces - one that features the luxury grille with the Mercedes star on the hood and one that wears a sports grille and retails as the Exclusive Line.
Revised rear end
|2,840 MM (111.81 Inches)
|4,702 MM (185.11 Inches)
|1,810 MM (71.25 Inches)
|Trunk capacity
|490 liters
The maximum load capacity has been increased to a best-in-class 53.3 cubic feet (1,510 liters) when the rear seats are folded flat and to 17.3 cubic feet (490 liters) when the seats are up
Most of the cabin may be identical to the one seen on the C-Class Sedan, but the Wagon has a few tricks up its sleeve. Thanks to its longer wheelbase, the grocery-getter is more roomier and will allow the rear-seat passengers to enjoy an extra 1.7 inches of space. Shoulder room, elbow room and headroom are also more generous on the new C-Class Wagon.
What's more, the maximum load capacity has been increased to a best-in-class 53.3 cubic feet (1,510 liters) when the rear seats are folded flat and to 17.3 cubic feet (490 liters) when the seats are up. Adding to the wagon's practicality is the new 40/20/40 split configuration of the rear seats, which means the C-Class can also be used as a four- or a three-seater, while still carrying impressive amounts of luggage.
Of course, the wagon comes packed with plenty of convenience features, including a central display with a seven-inch screen or a larger, 8.4-inch screen when selected with the COMAND system. The brand-new center console, the new seats and the more premium materials seen on the C-Class Sedan have been transferred to the Wagon as well.
Best-in-class cargo room
The C-Class Wagon will be launched with an array of gasoline and diesel engines, with all of them packing four angry cylinders
The C-Class Wagon will be launched with an array of gasoline and diesel engines, with all of them packing four angry cylinders. The oil burners will deliver between 115 horsepower and 204 horsepower, while the gasoline units will pump 156 horsepower in the entry-level model. A 333-pony V-6 will join the lineup at a later date. There's no word on a V-8-powered AMG model, but we're not expecting for Mercedes-Benz to miss the opportunity of offering a beefed-up wagon along the way.
Likewise, the company has yet to announce whether the Wagon will get BlueTEC Hybrid and a Plug-In Hybrid versions or not.
The Germans have yet to reveal pricing for the Wagon, but we'll be right back as soon as they spill the beans. The model will hit European dealerships in September. The company had nothing to say about U.S. availability, but we'd advise against getting your hopes up for the time being.
BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon
These two German makers are tangled in an everlasting war, and in the past few years it looked like BMW had won. Could the new C-Class Wagon make the difference and help Mercedes gain some sort of advantage? It remains to be seen, we guess.
On the U.S. market, the 3 Series Sport Wagon is offered with a choice of two 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engines that run on either gasoline or diesel. The former delivers 241 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and it can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just six seconds. The latter is rated at 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just over seven seconds.
As for fuel efficiency, the gasoline 3 Series wagon returns up to 33 mpg on the highway, while the diesel variants is estimated to return up to 43 mpg in similar conditions. Pricing for the Sports Wagon beings at $41,450.
Gallery BMW 3 Series Sports Wagon
Acura TSX Sports Wagon
The TSX Sports Wagon is a nice alternative to the otherwise boring Acura lineup. The model is offered only with one engine variant: a 2.4-liter, inline-four mill that churns 201 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. This wagon is rather slow compared to its rivals, needing more than eight seconds to sprint from naught to 60 mph.
Sitting at 30 mpg on the highway, fuel efficiency isn't that great either when compared to the 3 Series. However, the Acura TSX Sport Wagon has pricing on its side, being retailed from only $31,985. But you'd better hurry if you want one of these, as the model is getting axed by the end of the year. Or you might as well wait until the brand-new TLX gets a wagon body.
The model is priced from $35,510.

With 53.3 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats folded flat, the new C-Class Wagon just climbed at the top of its class. Another strong selling point is its luxurious interior, rivaled only by the BMW 3 Series, and the wide range of gasoline and diesel engines. Of course, the latter argument is irrelevant to the U.S. market, but, until the Germans decide to ship it Stateside, so is the car.
- Appealing C-Class styling
- Roomy interior
- Plenty of cargo space and functionality
- Not coming to the U.S.
- Still waiting for the full specs

Press Release
With the new Estate model Mercedes-Benz will expand the C‑Class family starting in September 2014. The Estate shines with a clear and at the same time emotional-sporty design, innovative technology, variability and a cargo volume enlarged even beyond that of the predecessor model. Its high-class, sophisticated interior makes modern luxury tangible with design highlights. With these qualities the Estate reinforces its reputation as a multifaceted lifestyle vehicle with outstanding properties for everyday use. In addition, with its many new assistance systems it not only offers the highest standards of safety, but thanks to intelligent lightweight construction, exceptional aerodynamics and new economical engines it also sets new efficiency benchmarks in its segment. The Estate model also provides the stage for the world première of the Mercedes connect me services, which, among other things, make it possible to connect to the vehicle from anywhere at any time and retrieve the current fill level of the tank online.
The new C-Class Estate combines a striking, dynamic design and high-class appointments with outstanding variability and a high level of utility. With its versatility it also adapts to a wide variety of requirements. As a stylish, sporty space vehicle it accompanies active, modern people on shopping sprees, on vacation or when playing sports, and is suitable for families in every respect. Consequently, it continues the tradition of the C-Class Estates, which all in their own time combined demands on lifestyle, sportiness and practicality in an estate car, in the fourth generation on a new level.
Prof Dr Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development: "The new C-Class Estate is not only extremely practical thanks to its large, variable load compartment. With its state-of-the-art technical features it also strikes out in new directions in its segment with regard to safety, efficiency and comfort. And both men and women drivers enjoy noticeably more driving pleasure".
Variable and practical
The dimensions of new C-Class Estate have grown considerably. With an 80‑millimetre increase in the wheelbase (2840 millimetres) compared with the previous model, the vehicle is 96 millimetres longer (4702 millimetres) and 40 millimetres wider (1810 millimetres). The resulting increase in space primarily benefits the rear-seat passengers who now enjoy 45 millimetres more legroom. There is also more shoulder room, elbow room and headroom than in the previous model.
The moderate growth spurt also involves the load compartment. The sporty rear of the new C-Class Estate provides a maximum load capacity of 1510 litres (according to ISO 3832). It thus surpasses its predecessor by ten litres. The load compartment volume behind the rear seats increased by five litres to 490 litres.
Variability and consequently functionality also increased significantly. The rear seats now have a 40 : 20 : 40 split instead of the 60 : 40 split in the predecessor. This opens up a wide range of possibilities to use the interior as five-seater, four-seater, three-seater or two-seater.
Practical details ensure that the load compartment is even more versatile and easier to use, and as a result it can be conveniently tailored to the individual transport tasks. The rear-seat backrests can be unlocked and folded electrically at the push of a button to create a enlarged level load compartment.
The exceptional loading convenience can optionally be further enhanced with the EASY PACK power liftgate and the likewise optional HANDS-FREE ACCESS system. It allows opening and closing the liftgate without touching it. All it takes is a motion of the foot in the area of the rear bumper.
Dynamic and of high value
The new C-Class sets visual highlights with a modern, dynamic design that at the same time exudes sensuous clarity, arouses emotions and, to top it all off, stages high-tech in perfect fashion. Customers can choose from two fronts – with the sports grille or – reserved solely for the EXCLUSIVE Line – the luxury grille with the Mercedes star on the bonnet.
Unusual for a vehicle with a focus on a high level of utility and functionality is the high-value interior of the Estate, which was adopted from the Saloon. With straightforward sportiness, thrilling flowing lines and high-grade materials on the level of a luxury vehicle, it realises a modern, luxurious and at the same time sporty ambience. In addition to the base model, there are also three distinct design and equipment lines each for the exterior and interior.
The Estate also bears the quality seal of the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation for a scientifically tested high level of allergy-friendliness. Mercedes-Benz is the only vehicle manufacturer to earn the ECARF seal.
Touchpad and head-up display
The touchpad in the new C-Class Estate developed by Mercedes-Benz marks an evolutionary step. As on a smartphone, all the head-unit functions can be operated using finger gestures. The 65 x 45 millimetre control surface of the touchpad is built into the handrest on the central control panel and bordered by a high-quality metal support – a design feature with a high-tech feel which exudes luxury at the same time.
A head-up display is also new feature in the C-Class Estate. As in a jet fighter, it projects important information directly into the driver's field of vision, ensuring that there is less distraction from the road ahead. The system informs about vehicle speed, posted speed limits, navigation instructions and DISTRONIC messages.
Less weight, more comfort
Thanks to innovative solutions, the body shell of the new C-Class Estate weighs less, provides the basis for outstanding vehicle handling and best noise and vibration comfort with exceptional rigidity, and offers a high level of crash safety. With an aluminium content of 49 per cent and up to 65 kilograms less gross vehicle weight the Estate is the lightweight-construction leader in its segment.
Efficient and lively engines
The powerful and efficient petrol and diesel engines with ECO start/stop function comply with Euro VI emissions standards and ensure sporty performance and driving pleasure. Compared with the predecessor they in part consume in excess of 20 per cent less fuel.
The diesel models of the new C-Class are powered by the further advanced four-cylinder or the new small four-cylinder engine, which as BlueTEC models are all equipped with SCR technology (selective catalytic reduction). They cover an output range from 85 kW (115 hp) to 150 kW (204 hp).
In addition, Mercedes-Benz offers a diesel engine combined with a hybrid module. The C 300 BlueTEC HYBRID with four-cylinder diesel engine and compact electric motor generates a power output of 150 + 20 kW (204 + 27 hp) and despite its high power output runs on just 3.8 litres of diesel per 100 km/h in NEDC combined mode (equivalent to 99 grams of CO2 per kilometre).
Three BlueDIRECT four-cylinder petrol engines and one BlueDIRECT six‑cylinder petrol engine with power outputs ranging from 115 to 245 kW (156 to 333 hp) will initially be available for the new C-Class. The four-cylinder C 350 HYBRID with plug-in technology and a power output of 155 + 50 kW will follow in due course.
Agile and comfortable driving
Exemplary ride comfort coupled with outstanding dynamic vehicle handling – these are the hallmarks of the newly designed suspension of the new C-Class Estate. Thanks to a new four-link front axle it offers driving pleasure and ride comfort at the same time.
C-Class Estate customers will have a choice of two versions of the standard-specification steel suspension, which also includes a sporty set-up. As an alternative, Mercedes-Benz for the first time offers an air suspension in this segment. The AIRMATIC air suspension manages to bridge the gap between a high level of ride comfort and dynamic-agile handling. AIRMATIC also features all-round self-levelling for optimum ride comfort even with the vehicle loaded.
Choose your own driving experience
In the new C-Class Estate the driver can determine the desired driving programme at the push of a button. Depending on the equipment level, the driver can choose from various preconfigured drive programmes and one the driver can design personally to a large extent. The following characteristics are available: "Comfort", "ECO", "Sport" and "Sport+". The additional "Individual" option enables drivers to configure their vehicle to suit their own preferences.
Like the Saloon, the new C-Class Estate is equipped with an electric parking brake. This brake is released automatically when the driver ends parking mode with the aim of moving off.
As is customary, the new C-Class is also available with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
Steering with a sporty character
All models of the C-Class family will in future feature the electromechanical Direct-Steer system as standard. It combines road-speed dependent power assistance from the speed-sensitive power steering system, with a steering ratio that varies according to the given steering angle. The power steering assist provided by the rack-and-pinion steering gear is controlled as needed, thereby contributing towards efficiency.
Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive: the intelligent car
It is the declared aim of Mercedes-Benz to make the highest standard of safety available to everyone. For this reason the Estate adopts almost all new assistance systems from the S- and E-Class, which have been enhanced with significant functions. The assistance systems increase both comfort and safety. Mercedes-Benz calls this Intelligent Drive.
The C-Class Estate is fitted as standard with ATTENTION ASSIST, which can warn the driver of inattentiveness and drowsiness. It offers an adjustable sensitivity level and can provide drivers with information on their level of fatigue and the amount of driving time that has elapsed since the last break.
Also part of the standard equipment is COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS. In addition to the adaptive Brake Assist system, which helps to protect against collisions at speeds above 7 km/h, this system now features an additional function: when a danger of collision persists and the driver fails to respond, the system is able to carry out autonomous braking at speeds of up to 105 km/h (200 km/h in conjunction with DISTRONIC PLUS), thereby reducing the severity of collisions with slower or stopping vehicles. The system also brakes in response to stationary vehicles at a speed of up to 50 km/h, and is able to prevent rear-end collisions at up to 40 km/h.
New assistance systems with enhanced functions are optionally available, combining data from various sensor technologies as part of the Intelligent Drive concept to enhance comfort and safety:
DISTRONIC PLUS – relieves the burden on the driver in keeping a safe following distance
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot relieves the burden on the driver in keeping a safe following distance, even in stop & go traffic. Steering Assist is new and helps the driver with lateral control of the vehicle, even in gentle bends, and offers a tailback vehicle following function.
BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist boosts driver braking depending on the situation, if necessary up to full brake application and, for the first time, can also react to crossing traffic and pedestrians.
Active Lane Keeping Assist warns of unintentional lane departures by means of pulsed vibrations of the steering wheel and in the presence of solid lane markings corrects the vehicle's track with one-sided brake application. It now also intervenes with one-sided brake applications in the presence of broken lane markings if the adjacent lane is occupied by, for example, oncoming traffic, fast overtaking or overtaken vehicles.
The multitude of optionally available assistance systems also include, among others
Active Parking Assist, which enables automated parking with active steering and brake intervention in both parallel and end-on parking spaces
Traffic Sign Assist with wrong-way warning function, which warns of speed limits and also alerts the driver to no-overtaking zones and no‑entry signs
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, which allows the high-beam headlamps to be kept on permanently by masking out other vehicles in the light cone of the high-beam headlamps
Airbags for safety
In addition to 3-point safety belts with pyrotechnical belt tensioning and belt-force limitation for driver, front passenger and those in the outer rear seats, numerous airbags serve to protect the vehicle's occupants in an accident. These include:
combined thorax/pelvis sidebags for driver and front passenger
an optimised windowbag
sidebags for the outer rear seats (optional)
a kneebag for the driver
The front-passenger's seat can furthermore be equipped with an automatic child seat recognition system. This automatic front-passenger's airbag deactivation, introduced first by Mercedes-Benz, uses a pressure sensor in the seat cushion to detect whether an infant or child seat was placed on the front-passenger's seat and automatically deactivates the front-passenger's airbag. Contrary to other systems that require the airbag to be deactivated with a key, this system prevents incorrect operation. As no special transponder is required, the system works with all rear-facing child restraint systems.
Climate control: signals from space
The further advanced climate control system provides improved control quality, performance, efficiency and air quality. The new Estate is the only vehicle in the segment to offer tunnel detection via satellite navigation. It uses the map data from the navigation system and the GPS location data to close the air recirculation flap automatically when the vehicle enters a tunnel, subsequently re-opening it when the vehicle emerges from the tunnel.
Another highlight contributing to a feel-good atmosphere is the AIR BALANCE package with active fragrancing, air ionisation and more efficient filtration than is available on the standard model.
Vibrant infotainment experience
Like the Saloon, the new Estate offers a completely new multimedia generation with intuitive operation, featuring elaborate animations and visual effects which present all the functions in a clear and highly attractive manner. The Estate is furthermore also equipped with the Frontbass system. This avant-garde acoustic systems uses the space within the cross-member and side member in the body structure as a resonance chamber for the subwoofers. The result is a listening experience almost on a par with that enjoyed in a concert hall. A Burmester® surround sound system is optionally available.
The navigation system presents its contents in interactive mode. Its features include an animated compass, a "Drive Show" with information for passengers similar to the on-screen presentations on board airliners and Google Maps displayed on the head unit. COMAND Online is now also able to provide more accurate real-time information about the situation on the roads when it receives its traffic data via the internet by means of the "Live Traffic Information" service.
Internet and diverse data sources
A Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone with data option is all it takes to make even the Audio 20 system internet-capable. This enables the internet to be surfed without restrictions when the vehicle is stationary.
In conjunction with COMAND Online, Mercedes-Benz Apps such as Weather, GoogleTM Local Search with StreetView and Panoramio, destination/route download and Facebook can be used while on the move. Audio and video playback is possible from various sources. For example, via Bluetooth®, from an Apple iPod® or iPhone®, from an SD card, USB stick or CD/DVD (with Audio 20 CD or higher and with COMAND Online).
COMAND Online with hotspot functionality
COMAND Online not only offers a larger display with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels and a special bonded glass cover such as is familiar from consumer devices like the iPhone® or iPad. It also enables digital TV/radio reception, for example, and offers fast hard-disc navigation, automatic tailback avoidance via up-to-date and accurate "Live Traffic Information", an integrated WLAN hotspot functionality and the LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control system.
Telephony via Bluetooth® as standard
The standard Audio 20 USB system as well as Audio 20 CD and COMAND Online all offer basic telephony as standard, which links up a mobile phone to the vehicle via a standardised Bluetooth® interface.
Vehicle online with Mercedes connect me
Mercedes-Benz will introduce a new package of services in Europe under the name "Mercedes connect me" with the new C-Class Estate. The "Mercedes connect me" services can be used via a KOM module with its own SIM card integrated into the vehicle. The available services include accident, maintenance and breakdown management, for example. Likewise, customers can connect to their vehicle from anywhere and at any time via "Mercedes connect me" and, among other things, retrieve the fill level of the tank or start, stop or programme the auxiliary heating system.

Director Michael Moore is outraged ... claiming his friend -- a Palestinian director whose film is nominated for an Oscar -- was detained at LAX last night because officials didn't believe the man was REALLY in town for the Academy Awards.
Moore tweeted a play-by-play of the incident ... claiming his friend, Emad Burnat -- whose film "5 Broken Cameras" is nominated for Best Documentary Feature," was held for an hour-and-a-half while officials grilled him about his visit.
Moore tweeted, "Emad, his wife & 8-yr old son were placed in a holding area and told they didn't have the proper invitation on them to attend the Oscars."
He continued, "Although he produced the Oscar invite nominees receive, that wasn't good enough & he was threatened with being sent back to Palestine."
"Apparently the Immigration & Customs officers couldn't understand how a Palestinian could be an Oscar nominee. Emad texted me for help."
"I called Academy officials who called lawyers. I told Emad to give the officers my phone # and to say my name a couple of times."
"After 1.5 hrs, they decided to release him & his family & told him he could stay in L.A. for the week & go to the Oscars. Welcome to America."
"'It's nothing I'm not already used to,' he told me later. 'When u live under occupation, with no rights, this is a daily occurrence.'"
Moore concluded ... "He was certain they were going to deport him. But not if I had anything to do about it."
We've reached out to LAX and immigration officials -- so far, no comment.
Michael Moore needs to shut it. The Entertainment Industry has so many convicted felons. It's a job industry that doesn't do background checks. Movie Awards aren't "federal security entitlement." Just because you made a movie doesn't entitle you to anything. He needs to get real.
Michael Moore is an ASS HOLE!!
TSA is a Huge embarrassment to United State !!
Go back to Canada you fat f-ck.
Maybe MM is so outraged he will move to Palestine with his dear friend. I'll pay for the one way ticket
It's all George Bush's fault! I'm not sure how yet but as soon as Michael Moore makes another conspiracy theory movie about it I'll let you know.
LOL...this dude is full of it. I don't think they let him stay cause of you Micheal....please stfu.
MM needs to sit down/no one knows what happened there including him. We have no idea what passport this man was traveling with or anything else. Not to mention since there is no airport in the West Bank or Gaza he would have had to fly out of Ben Gurion. Our security is a Mickey Mouse organization compared to what is required there going out or coming in. I am sure that not everyone there is as fascinated with the upcoming Academy Awards.
stfu michael! Whered ya get the face scratches??? your paymate had enuf??
As has been demonstrated on several occasions Moore is simply a lying, fat bastard. His Liberal agenda is scary. He's the one that should have been detained as a terrorist.
Welcome to the real world Michael. We all have to play by the rules including you and your friends. What makes you so special???????
if any american traveled to that part of world we would be kept longer,treated worse and fined.
this dude should be happy it was only an hour and a half- ive waited longer on security lines at JFK.
MM should shut up! stop trying to make something for nothing.
How about have your proper paper work? When I travel overseas I'm damn sure I have all my paperwork. Stupid.
He wasn't going to be deported if you "had anything to do with it" ??? Just who might you think you are Mr. Moore? Please, let me tell you---you are a delusional piece of crap. Dream on.

I already love Mists of Pandaria because of my tinfoil hat guestimatation of the plot and the big bad:
I think I understand where they are going with this whole thing. With the Horde and Alliance waging battle amongst themselves among the Pandaren, they corrupt the Pandaren race. In bringing war and destruction to Pandaria, they strengthen the Sha race, which thrives on death and destruction. Before the Horde and Alliance came, the relative peace kept the Sha under wraps and weakened, but as war is waged, the Sha become powerful enough to consume Pandaria, and the entire world if some kind of peace cannot be found.

Ridley Scott, Kevin Macdonald and YouTube are taking filmmaking by committee to the next level. The two will produce and direct, respectively, Life In A Day, a film composed entirely of videos filmed by YouTube users over the course of a single day. Macdonald will then compile the "most compelling and distinctive footage" (ie. not cute things your cat did, or porn) into what they are calling "the first user-generated feature-length documentary."
The film will serve as as a "time capsule" according to Macdonald, capturing the events of July 24th 2010. Aspiring filmmakers will submit videos taken on that day to the film's YouTube channel, and any person whose footage is used will be given a co-director credit on the film. 20 of the co-directors will be flown to Sundance in 2011 for the film's premiere. Ridley Scott's production company, Scott Free Productions, is working together with Rick Smolan, CEO of Against All Odds Productions, to distribute cameras to remote areas of the world in order to ensure a diversity of perspectives in Life In A Day. Language will also not be a barrier for the film, translators have been hired to sort through footage filmed in languages besides English.
Life In A Day could prove to be a fascinating social experiment, or a huge mess. Scott and Macdonald are both talented directors, (Robin Hood aside) but editing hundreds of disperate stories into a coherent narrative without falling back on cliches is going to be very difficult. And while I'm sure that some of the submitted footage will be fascinating, I feel bad for whatever interns will have to defy Sturgeon's Law and search through the 90% of crap videos. All I have to request to potential filmmakers is please, nobody send in video of funerals or childbirths. One, because they're really personal events, but mostly because you know that they will end up editing the two together to show how life goes on and it's a circle of life and all that corny stuff, and probably set it to a Snow Patrol song or Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah or something.
Here's the official trailer for the project, and if you want more information on uploading your own videos, visit the Life In A Day YouTube channel.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, ginger, crushed red pepper, the remaining ¼ cup of oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Divide the tilapia, watercress, mango, and onion among plates. Drizzle with the dressing.

In this six-week program, your child will get a taste of a different sport each week as the Recreation staff takes them through some fun skills and drills. Children, ages 4-5, who are residents of the Village of Garden City are invited to register for this fun program. The cost of each six-week session will be $75.

CSEA Nassau Local 830, Nassau County's largest public service union with 10,000 members, is holding their First Annual 5K Run/Walk on Sunday, Oct. 31, at Nassau Community College in Garden City. They have partnered with the Jorge Posada Foundation for Craniosynostosis and CAPPS (Craniosynostosis and Positional Plagiocephaly Support Inc.) Hundreds of runners and dozens of sponsors have already confirmed participation.
Craniosynostosis is a condition in which one or more of the sutures of an infant's skull prematurely fuse. Surgery is the only treatment for this. Positional Plagiocephaly is when the sutures are open and early diagnosis and treatment are important to avoid further deformity. One in every 2,000 infants are affected by Craniosynostosis and one in every 350 by Positional Plagiocephaly.
This year the Running Club of Garden City, a committee within the Welcoming Club of Garden City, is pleased to report their plans to participate in many exciting running events! It is with great pleasure that committee co-leaders Lynnette McKenna and Lisa Colletti announce that over 50 women from our club will be participating in the first ever, women's only "Diva Half Marathon" on Saturday, Oct. 3. This event will be taking place in the Eisenhower Park and Museum Row area.
Many of these women had never run more than a mile or two at any time before joining our group. Within a few weeks of their training, mileage racked up and friendships evolved over the early morning runs throughout the village. The Divas have become a well-known group within our town and a familiar fixture at the St. Paul's meeting spot.
The Garden City Recreation Department's Fall Adult Tennis Lesson Applications are now available.

Garden City's Matthew Borges, Kyle Brattan, Nick Gray, Bryan Irwin, Scott Irwin, Brogan Mahon, Jack Tigh and Thomas Wright all contributed to FLG's lacrosse program this summer. Massapequa-based For the Love of the Game (FLG) Boys 2015 Lacrosse Team had a successful record this summer, winning four out of six tournaments: The Juvenile Diabetes Tournament in Massapequa, Upper Atlantic in Downingtown, PA, Beast of the East, in Amherst, MA and the Harvard Crimson Tournament in Cambridge, MA. Four tournaments were played at their seventh grade age level while tournaments Tri State in Princeton NJ and Lax Max in York PA were each played at the eighth grade age level. While the increase in age level was harder, it helped prepare the 23 players for the eighth-grade level. As the season progressed, the team developed a much greater intellect for the game. Additionally, the coaching staff noticed the team skills growing along with the team chemistry, as well as the Boys overall excitement. During the season and while attending FLG's one-week summer camp, lifelong friendships were ultimately built.
Due to the popularity of our summer yoga camp, Connie McKnight, our certified yoga instructor, has designed children's yoga classes with all levels in mind. All classes are held in Cluett Hall at St. Paul's and will begin the week of Sept. 20. Any resident of the Inc. Village of Garden City, ages 6 to 18, is invited to join these relaxing classes.
The course schedule is as follows:
Children's Yoga (ages 6 – 11) Wednesdays at 4:45 p.m.
Tween/Teen Yoga (ages 10-18) Fridays at 6:45 p.m.
All classes are 55 minutes, run for 10 weeks, and cost $60 per session. To register for either of these classes, visit the Recreation Office at 108 Rockaway Ave.

Are you traveling anywhere fun and exciting this summer? I'll be stuck in Ohio interning at CityBeat and taking classes and working with clothes all summer long. May I live vicariously through you?
(via Destination Tag USA 8X10 Art Print by thepairabirds on Etsy)
(via hollyaletha)
A little less than a year ago, I went to Paris. It really changed the way I look at beauty and awakened a sense of travel, as well as a new sense of self. It was my first time traveling so far from my Ohio home — alone, with a group of classmates who I barely knew. It was amazing to me how fast these near-strangers became forever friends. As cliché and overused this phrase is, I truly had the time of my life. I'll never forget it. I don't think I have memories any more vivid than those of Paris. I proved a lot to myself during that trip: even with my disability, I could wander and travel and fly over oceans upon oceans. I could wander the streets and…thrive. It wasn't just a luxurious trip…it was an adventure.
So here I am, waxing nostalgic; missing the markets, the mussels, that random time we went to see The Hunger Games hours before our friends in the United States were able to. I'm remembering the Louvre, the metro, the first real train ride I've ever taken. The perfect timing of my 21st birthday right before the trip. Hence the wine. The photography. The croissants and Nutella for breakfast. My odd obsession with photographing every Starbucks I came across. Versailles. The cherry blossoms and the tulips. How much my French improved during the course of the trip. And the walking. All the walking. The bizarre walk through the Catacombs. The scarves. The people. Kissing the tomb of Oscar Wilde for good luck in love. The language barrier. Climbing to the top of the Arc de Triomphe and The Notre Dame. The gargoyles. And even more walking. And coffee. Coffee. Coffee. How cold it was at the top of the Eiffel Tour at night. The most laughing I've ever done. And a few tears here and there. I soaked up every minute of it. It was so much more than I expected.
For the first time in my life, I was an adventurer; I was an explorer. Two roles I never thought I'd be able to play. Sure, my feet hurt worse than they ever had before and sometimes I was crippled with pain, but it was a satisfying pain. I'd never experienced that before. I imagine it's the same sense of pain that a laboring mother goes through — I was laboring a new sense of self; a new sense of independence. I am forever grateful to Paris and its people. In honor of the approaching anniversary of my Paris trip, I've chosen a few favorite photos from my time there.

"Richard Wilding is both a professor of logistics and supply chain management at Cranfield University and a victim of the parcel conundrum.'We were expecting a gift to arrive, and the courier firm told us it had been delivered. We told them we hadn't received anything, and the company said it had been delivered to a hedge. We haven't got a hedge.'Some weeks later the box was discovered, sure enough in a hedge, about half a mile away from his house."For business to consumer deliveries, one of the most crucial parts in the Supply Chain is the last mile—actually getting the product into the customer's hands. In most cases when shopping online the consumer has a choice of delivery methods, either by post or more costly parcel delivery options with companies such as FedEx or UPS. One of the key challenges for any of these companies is making sure the customer is at home to sign and collect for the delivery. In many cases a missed delivery note is left at the consumer's address and the company will either tell the customer they can collect the parcel at a local depot or they will attempt to redeliver the next day.
According to a BBC report 12% of parcel deliveries fail the first time. This is very costly for the logistics companies and very frustrating from a customer point of view. This reports lists a number of ways in which the first time fail rate can be reduced including:
Overall, while the missed first time delivery is a costly process that frustrates the customer, there are a wide variety of creative solutions. It's important for consumer goods companies, couriers and customers to choose the right delivery method that reflects the desired customer experience for the products.

Jay Cutler talks with Earl Bennett #80 on the sidelines during a game against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field on November 13, 2011 in Chicago. The Bears defeated the Lions 37-13. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Yeah, you could see this one coming. Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari are reportedly not so pleased with Earl Bennett for breaking the news about the sex of their baby. The Bears wide receiver spilled the beans that they are having a boy during a radio interview.
A Hollywood gossip site reports:
A source close to the couple tells Hollyscoop, "They are not happy that something so personal was revealed on a radio show, especially Jay - he didn't want anyone to know what they were having."
Most couples want to share the news themselves, so it was surprising to hear Bennett talk about it. Perhaps Bennett didn't know, or just had a slip of a tongue.
A word of advice to Earl? Apologize. Find out what Kristin's pregnancy cravings are, and send her a case of it. PLEASE. For the good of a great QB-wideout tandem, put this behind you.

New Mexico Historic Women Marker Initiative
46 New Historic Markers Honor Women's Accomplishments
Date March 15, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Publication SantaFe.com
Categories Local News & Sports
Stopping to read historic markers along New Mexico highways might lead a motorist to believe that men settled the entire state. Of the 500 Historic and Scenic Markers—the large, brown, monument signs that show maps on one side and history briefs on the other— only one fully mentions a woman's contributions to state history and she is Maria Martinez, the renowned potter from San Ildefonso Pueblo, and it is the pueblo that is the subject of the marker.
But men of every walk of life—a hanged train robber named Black Jack Ketchum; Billy the Kid's "gravesite," the route Vasquez de Coronado took in search of the cities of gold; and Geronimo's Spring—are represented throughout the state, along with markers denoting geographic formations, early transportation routes such as the Santa Fe Trail and El Camino Real and numerous churches, pueblos and parks. In all, 174 of the markers are devoted to the accomplishments of men.
"When we traveled throughout New Mexico, we often stopped to look at the historic markers that dot the state's roadways," said Pat French, who is chairwoman of New Mexico Historic Women's Marker Initiative Selection Committee. "Rarely did any of the markers mention a woman, and when one did it usually was in the context of talking about the man who was the topic of the marker. Most of the women were unnamed."
But that is changing. Thanks to a legislative initiative, the state's 33 counties and the Apache, Navajo and Pueblo tribes will each be represented by a historic marker commemorating the contributions of local women. The Historic Preservation Division (HPD), as the keeper of the program and historic marker text, and the Cultural Properties Review Committee (CPRC), as the governor-appointed body that approves the candidates and wording, will work with the committee and the state Department of Transportation (DOT) on the initiative. The goal is to have 54 markers completed an installed by June 30, 2010. To date 46 markers have been approved. Two have been installed: a marker to The Sisters of Loretto in Santa Fe and a marker to Esther Martinez of Ohkay Owingeh (formerly San Juan Pueblo).
First Lady Barbara Richardson and Governor Bill Richardson were early supporters of the effort, which began when French, Alexis Girard and Beverly Duran—both co-chairs of the marker initiative committee and members of the New Mexico Women's Forum— began working with the Richardsons in 2005. First Lady Richardson, who is honorary chairwoman of the selection committee, advised them to seek Department of Cultural Affairs Secretary Stuart Ashman's support, which bore fruit with legislative funding secured earlier this year.
Currently, the committee, composed of representatives of the New Mexico Women's Forum, DOT, the Commission on the Status of Women and several historians, has selected all candidates for the markers and the historians for the project, Dr. Tom Chavez and Kim Suina, are researching and writing the remaining eight markers to present before the CPRC. Once completed, there will be an even distribution of markers honoring the major cultural groups of New Mexico, with 18 markers each for Anglo, Hispanic and Native American women.
While the women's historic markers honor individual contributions, several markers also honor groups of women who have collectively helped to shape the course of New Mexico history. Recognizing those contributions for communities that honor the collective is especially important. Women played pivotal rules in establishing and stabilizing communities by fostering social service networks, establishing schools, libraries and businesses, and creating environments friendly to the appreciation of the arts. Every corner of the state owes a debt of gratitude to the early women of New Mexico.

The upper house of France's parliament on Thursday evening passed a law prohibiting the use of hydraulic fracturing for shale gas exploration, making France the first country in the world to ban the technology, which is considered high-risk for the environment.
The lower house had approved the ban a week ago.
The French opposition was advocating a total ban of shale gas exploration, but the parliament outlawed only hydraulic fracturing, leaving the door open for future exploration if drilling technologies develop to become more environment-friendly.
The bill was passed in an emergency procedure after oil and gas giant Total had announced it was seeking a partner for exploration of a licence in the south of France last January, triggering violent protests among environmental organizations and members of parliament (see ESGM 28 January 2011).
Following the final vote, opponents have two weeks to refer to France's constitutional court.
Under the new law, holders of exploration and drilling permits will have two months to provide details on exploration technology they intend to use for the works.
Hydraulic fracturing is the only technology currently in commercial use for shale gas exploration. The French upper house had earlier been in favour of experimental shale gas drilling for scientific purposes and under strict public control, but the lower house rejected the idea (see ESGM 12 May 2011).

Well, back before players had HP pools the size of beluga whales, a health potion would actually restore pretty much all of your heath, unless you were a tank in full Naxx gear. So they were extremely useful. I can remember actually being required to carry health pots and bandages for raiding... my raid leader would do random "consumables checks" where he'd ask you to show him you had at least ten health pots and a full stack of bandages in a trade window. Couldn't show them, you were. benched.
Actually, if I recall, it wasn't until Wrath that health pots started to really outstrip HP pools, and it wasn't until Cata that they started restoring barely any at all. I can understand they don't want to go back to the days where a health pot basically gave you a second HP bar, but the current percentage is ridiculously useless.

Master Bath Remodeling Tips
You've decided to remodel. How exciting! Here are some tips to consider when remodeling you master bathroom.
First and foremost the space should function for your needs. Maybe you have a single vanity with two people trying to share it. Or, a separate garden tub that only collects dust and is a pain to clean.
Consider removing the tub, to make a larger walk in shower with a bench for convenience. Also, clearing out that corner tub can give you extra room to change that single vanity into a double.
Resale Value
Double vanities in the master bath are practically a must for resale these days. Also, storage is a biggie! If you do not have a built-in linen closet, consider getting a tall linen cabinet to match your vanity. This will help not only for storage, but create a cohesive finished look that was well thought out.
Tile is the number one surface used in bathrooms today. This is a semi- permanent choice for homeowners because of the durability, and fact that you don't often need to replace it. Because of this, it is important to make tile selections that would appeal to all types of potential buyers. This does not mean you have to settle for a bland, beige colored bathroom. You can add personal style and color with your vanity, towels, rugs, window treatments, wall art and paint.
Whatever you choose, make it your own tranquil retreat.
Super Bowl Week
The big game is only days away. Let's take a look at one reason why the Super Bowl is so exciting. There is one player on each team that the world has their eyes on – the quarterback. Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning. He is the one player that the team and the coaching staff and the fans count on to carry the team to number one. The pressure is great and a quarterback's ability goes far beyond his physical strength, and moves into the role of being a superior leader.
To be a successful leader of a business, large and small, is very similar. Take a look at these leadership qualities that are seen in any great quarterback and see how they can be applied to your role as a leader in the workplace.
Always Prepared. This is a must-have trait that is seen in the greatest quarterbacks—and outstanding managers. An elite quarterback will relentlessly prepare for practice as well as a game, know their teammates intimately and execute their plans meticulously. A leader in the business world must do the same thing and be prepared for the next opportunity that may be heading their way.
Always Aware. Just as a quarterback scans the field before making a play, a leader should evaluate a situation and act quickly to take advantage of an opportunity or to solve a challenge that is on the horizon. A great leader will learn their team's strengths and weaknesses and have a strategy to highlight the strengths and minimize the weaknesses in order to keep on top of their "game."
Always Ready For Feedback. A quarterback cannot win a game alone. He depends on coaches and teammates to help him get that ball down the field. Listening to feedback from teammates and coaches is a key to a quarterback perfecting his game and winning. A good leader will want feedback and will listen to the goals, aspirations, career plans, and talents of each team member to get better results.
Now that you have some helpful habits to put into place that can be pivotal for your own success, analyze these behaviors in action by the elite. Russell and Peyton in the big game ahead.

Solid Hardwood vs. Engineered Wood – The Pros and Cons
In the Pacific Northwest, wood flooring is one of the most popular and versatile choices of flooring we have. It provides homeowners with not only a fairly easy to maintain floor, but also complements the beautiful nature surrounding us here in the northwest.
So here's the question- "Do I choose a solid hardwood floor or an engineered hardwood floor?"
- Can be sanded and refinished multiple times
- The color stain can be changed after sanding
- Extremely durable
- Scratches can be buffed out and fixed more easily
- Adds beauty and value to the home
- Wood expands and contracts, not the best choice for high humidity areas (Stay away from basements)
- More expensive
- More of a permanent choice and replacing can be costly
Engineered Wood
- Does not need to acclimate as much to humidity due to the layers of compressed wood that makes up the backing
- Less expensive
- More width and color stain choices
- Hand scrapped and rustic looks are available
- Easier to replace sections of the floor
- Adds value and beauty to the home
- Cannot be sanded and refinished, most of these products can be screened which is a light sanding to buff out topical scratches
- Products can dent more easily
- If not installed correctly it can buckle with temperature changes
4 Simple Tips for Storing Your Wine
Wine can be an occasional treat or paired with dinner nightly. When it comes to storing your wine, we found that the typical places are: on the kitchen counter, in the pantry, in a rack, or in a cooler. For those looking for wine storage solutions, we have 4 simple tips:
1) 6-bottle wine racks are easy solutions if you find that your collection of bottles is causing clutter on your counters or cabinets.
2) If you want to pursue a hanging wine rack above your sink or in the hallway, remember that wine is best kept in cool, dark places.
3) If you are crafty, you can re-purpose wine barrels to hold your wine while functioning as a table or as a decorative piece in your home.
4) For those with a fine taste and are looking to integrate it into their home, a Sub-Zero wine cooler, is elegant and like" having a Mercedes-Benz in your kitchen."
If you are looking for something more complex, there are options, no matter how large or small.
The New Neutral
by Sarah Steurer
Design Consultant
Neutral colors for many years in interior design always meant beige. The use of neutral colors has been a "safe" choice for designers and homeowners alike. In fact, the word neutral when talking paint, or interior design means "without hue". Therefore, it is a great starting point to build on when putting together the perfect room.
As 2013 comes to an end and we roll in 2014, neutral has taken a turn in the interior design world. The new neutral: gray. All shades of gray are trending right now, along with sea blue, cream, rich brown, and taupe. Currently my favorite color pallet as well, you will see many furniture catalogs, websites, paint colors all shifting to this new neutral color scheme.
To use these neutral colors without feeling too bland, incorporate otherwise vibrant colors, with gray tones to them. This will keep with the theme and feeling of the room, yet add a touch of color and personal style.

My Account admin menu displays incorrectly for certain browser sizes
I've checked it on two different WordPress multisite installs with Buddypress (latest versions of both WordPress and Buddypress, and with all other plugins disabled, running wordpress default themes, on both Chrome and Firefox). It looks like this item
<ul id="wp-admin-bar-my-account-buddypress" class="ab-sub-secondary ab-submenu">
displays incorrectly, with overlapping text and menu items when the browser is between 600 and 782 pixels wide.
…Actually now that I've tries resizing the browser on the main buddypress.org site, the admin bar ends up behind and partially hidden by the red BuddyPress header, once the browser goes 782px wide. I guess it's just compatibility issues with the new WP admin layout?
Any ideas for how to fix it? I've been trying to mess with CSS code for over an hour, and it turns out I suck at this

This is a fantastic hostel to stay at, the owners are super friendly and helpful and make your stay in El Bolson wonderful. We were going to stay in the dorms but then we had more friends joining us so we changed to the cabanas with no problem. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of little tables for everyone to eat at. The cabanas where very comfortable and perfect to hang out in if you have a rainy day or just want to chill. Great great place to stay.

Valeria, Claudio and their kids made our stay special! When we lost a phone in the taxi, Valeria helped us get it back. The atmosphere is really good, the rooms look nice and clean. Claudio made us Cordero, typical Argentinian lamb!! Delicious! I'd recommend this hostel to everyone.

I loved El Bolson and the hostel was one of the main reasons! It's not exactly in the centre by the plaza but as the town is so small then it's only 5-10 mins walk away. The hosts speak good English (which is not true elsewhere in the town, understandably) and are friendly, and the hostel is clean. Good wifi. Upstairs only has four bedrooms and it has two bathrooms, so don't be too disappointed if your room is not ensuite - getting into the bathroom was not a problem. Would very much recommend.

Authorities say they are expecting to make an arrest this afternoon in relation to the deputy shooting at Skyland Drive late Sunday night.

7 On Your Side will keep you updated with this case as more details become available.
October 16, 2013 at noon
Authorities say a failed relationship led a man to shoot and kill another man before taking several people hostage inside a Greer home and wounding two deputies.
Investigators believe 30 year old Shane Kelly Young showed up at the home on Skyland Drive to confront that woman.
Family members, who asked not to be identified, told Seven on your Side that one of the hostages, a 23 year old woman, ended a longterm dating relationship with Young less than two months. According to family members, Young continued to call the woman and send her "harassing text messages" up until the day the standoff occurred. Family members say Young "wouldn't leave the woman" alone all day Sunday, hours before authorities say he showed up at the family home armed with a gun.
The woman called authorities in Greenville to report the threats Sunday but was told since it happened in Spartanburg County, she would have to make the report there, according to a family member.
The family says Kenneth Horton, or "Kenny" as friends called him, was a family friend who offered to stay at the home with the young woman, her mother, sister, and grandmother to "make sure they were safe", in case Young showed up.
UPDATE 11 p.m.
Deputies cleared the scene Monday night after hours of investigating a deadly standoff.
7 On Your Side has been on the story since the standoff began on Sunday night. The latest information we have is from the Coroner's office. They tell us that the suspect is in intensive care and is in serious condition. As for the deputies involved one was shot in the arm the other in the leg. They are expected to be okay but they have a long recovery ahead.
The Sheriff's Office is not releasing the name of the suspect at this time.
UPDATE: 6:15 p.m.
Coroners office says the suspect is in intensive care tonight and is in serious condition.
As for the deputies involved one was shot in the arm the other in the leg. They are expected to be okay but the sheriffs office tells 7 On Your Side the officers have a long recovery ahead. "They are going to have a long recovery but we are thankful they are able to recover and we still have them with us," Lt. Michael Hildebrand with the Greenville County Sheriffs office said. As of 6:15 deputies were still on scene. And they are not releasing the name of the suspect at this time.
UPDATE: 4:45 pm on October 15
Authorities say that the fatality in today's early morning shooting is Kenneth Darrell Horton, who was 48 years old.
Investigators claim that Horton died from a single gunshot wound to the chest, coming from a rifle.
7 On Your Side will continue to update this story as details become available.
UPDATE: 3:30 pm on October 15
The Sheriff's Office reports that there were only five hostages inside the home with four of them being adults and only one child.
Two deputies injured on scene, one was shot in the arm and the other was shot in the right leg, according to authorities.
As Of 10:30 am on October 15
The Greenville County Sheriff's Office said two deputies were shot and a suspect accused in a deadly shooting and standoff was wounded early Monday morning.
Investigators said a man stormed into a house on 4307 Skyland Drive in Greer about 9:30 p.m. Sunday and shot and killed a man inside the house. Then they say he took five hostages. One hostage was a child under 13 years old.
About 10:30 p.m. a SWAT team was called to the scene and surrounded the home. Finally at 12:30 a.m. Monday, deputies stormed into the house to save the hostages and capture the suspected shooter.
The sheriff's office said the suspected shooter opened fire, wounding two deputies. The deputies have non-life threatening injuries. Deputies said they were forced to open fire on the man who shot them, who was then taken to a hospital. Several other people were also hurt.
Greenville County Deputy Coroner Barry Wright says there is one male dead inside the home. Authorities have not identified the man who was killed in the initial shooting. His name is not expected to be released for several hours.
Investigators say there were a total of four shooting victims which includes the two deputies, the suspect, and one older female. According to Wright, it appears a female child was injured by shrapnel during the gunfire exchange, and was transported to the hospital. The child is expected to be o.k.
The State Law Enforcement Division is investigating, which is standard procedure.
Both of the wounded deputies have been placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation.
The Greenville County School District says school at nearby Blue Ridge High School and Skyland Elementary School will be on a regular schedule.

Your basic rights under Health & Safety and Sex Discrimination laws
When you become pregnant as an employee you have some rights relating to your employment regardless of how long you've worked for your employer or how many hours a week you work for them. Here's a brief overview of what these are.
As a pregnant woman, new mother or breastfeeding mum you're entitled to protection from risks in your work environment by health and safety laws. Risks could include the obvious: lifting heavy weights, working with potentially dangerous chemicals, excessive noise hazards, extremes of temperatures, excessively stressful conditions etc. If you face some kind of risk at work then your employer has to either modify your working conditions or find you more suitable comparable work. If this isn't possible then you should be suspended on full pay.
If you think your working conditions present a health risk to your pregnancy then take a look at the Health and Safety Executive page for new and expectant mums and raise the issue with your employer as soon as possible.
Useful contacts
The Advisory Conciliation & Arbitration Service
Tel: 08457 47 47 47
Website: www.acas.org.uk
Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB)
Website: citizensadvice.org.uk
Health & Safety Executive
Website: www.hse.gov.uk
By law it is considered sex discrimination for a company to treat you unfairly because of your pregnancy. This includes not only any attempt by your company to dismiss you because of your pregnancy, but also any attempt to give you less good working conditions than those of your colleagues.
If you think that you're being treated unfairly at work because of your pregnancy then make notes of incidents and contact your union rep, the Citizen's Advice Bureau, the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration service and/or your own HR department if suitable. It may help your cause and smooth the process if you raise the issue internally before getting outside involvement.
The discrimination laws also cover women applying for jobs. It is against the law for a company to refuse you employment on the grounds of your pregnancy and not only do you not have to tell a prospective employer that you are pregnant, but they should not ask you whether you are, or intend to become, pregnant.
You are entitled to time off for antenatal appointments and time to attend antental classes, though some employers will ask for proof of pregnancy (ask your doctor or midwife for this) before they give you permission to take the time off. Your employer should record any pregnancy-related sick leave separately from other sick leave and it should not count towards your total sickness absence for disciplinary or redundancy purposes.
You should also face no discrimination for any time off you need for maternity-related illnesses as long as you follow correct procedures in providing a sicknote from your doctor.
Your employers should do all they can to ensure that there is a suitable place for you to rest when you're pregnant or breastfeeding, preferably somewhere that you can lie down and somewhere that offers a hygenic and private place for expressing breast milk.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Good Reasons to Stay in the Market
Littlefair said that Clean Energy Fuels is excited to have General Electric as a partner and will be building two plants to liquefied gas plants to start. He said these plants are not huge and sit on just a few acres of land. They will pull our abundant natural gas from pipelines and cool it into a liquefied form, where it can then be shipped up to 250 miles to Clean Energy stations and partners.
Littlefair said ultimately, Clean Energy plans 10 such plants, allowing the company to provide fuel along the major interstate corridors across our country.
When Westport Innovations (WPRT) introduces the next-generation natural gas engines in February, Littlefair added, that will likely be the catalyst to convince many more truckers to begin using natural gas and start saving up to $1.50 per gallon in fuel costs.
When asked about perpetual delays in Washington in aiding the industry, Littlefair said the natural gas industry doesn't need the government's help to be successful because it has economics on its side. He said major partners are lining up and everything is falling into place, albeit at a slower pace than many have liked.Finally, Littlefair said the technology is being developed for consumers to fill up their natural gas cars at home and should be available within a few years. That technology, he said, would be a boon for the industry as there are 70 million homes connected to our natural gas network and would provide an excellent alternative fuel source for disasters like Hurricane Sandy. Cramer said Littlefair made him feel more upbeat on the prospects for natural gas in America.
Honeywell CEO: Advising President ObamaIn the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer also spoke with David Cote, chairman and CEO of Honeywell (HON). Cote is also one of those spearheading the "Fix The Debt" campaign at FixTheDebt.org. Along with other prominent corporate CEOs, Cote will be meeting with President Obama tomorrow to discuss how to responsibly fix the fiscal cliff. Cote said that America's debt crisis if the worst in 200 years and will take compromise to fix. He said our country needs a simpler tax code that collects more; reforms to Social Security and Medicare; and serious spending cuts in order to fix the $4 trillion gap in America's budget.
