The folks over at Life Without Plastic were kind enough to send me a couple of of their Freezycup popsicle molds for review. I have two young children and the idea of being able to easily make our own popsicles was an attractive one. I'm also keen on avoiding plastic whenever possible so the food grade stainless steel Freezycups were a big plus.
They sent me two Freezycups, complete with silicone gaskets and reusable bamboo sticks. We loaded each of them up with my kids' favorite kinds of juice and put them in the freezer. After a good night of sleep and long day at school and work, we reconvened in the kitchen and pulled out the pops.
They worked great. The cups flair our at a nice angle out to the base so they came out of the molds without a problem (running them under warm water for a quick moment helps). The stainless steel guard helped keep melting juice off my kids' hands while the cup was a handy place to stash the popsicle whilst having a brain freeze.
The Freezycups were easy to clean and can use regular popsicle sticks in lieu of the bamboo sticks they come with if you should ever lose them.
My only issues with the Freezycup is that they're not very stable in the freezer and that they are a bit pricey. The Freezycup is tall with a narrow base and it was a bit of a challenge to find a way for them to stand in my crowded freezer for their initial freeze. I would have loved to have had a stand to place them in, something like test tube stand that would allow for individual Freezycups to be put in or taken out.
But at $8 per Freezycup, that stand could be expensive to fill. If I wanted to get enough to make popsicles for me, my fiancee, and children, I'm looking at dropping over thirty bucks. Add in a couple of extra cups for some friends and it could be a fifty dollar trip to the online store.
Freezycups are worth the money if you have it to spend (or are especially die-hard with anti-plastic zeal), but otherwise you'd be just fine using dixie cups, ice cube trays, or yogurt cups to make your own popsicles.
Full disclosure: Life Without Plastic sent me two molds to review for free.

Oryctocephalus reynoldsiSmall, spiny trilobite with paired pits on the head
Trilobita (Order: Corynexochida)
Trilobites are extinct euarthropods, probably stem lineage representatives of the Mandibulata, which includes crustaceans, myriapods, and hexapods (Scholtz and Edgecombe, 2006).
Species name:
Oryctocephalus reynoldsi
Described by:
Description date:
Oryctocephalus – from the Greek oryktos, "dug" or "burrowed," and kephalos, "head."
reynoldsi – after Mr. S. H. Reynolds, who collected and donated the type specimen to the Woodwardian Museum of the University of Cambridge (now in the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences).
Type Specimens:
Holotype (O. reynoldsi) – SM A1425, Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Holotype S17 (O. burgessensis) –USNM96487, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA.
Other species:
Burgess Shale and vicinity: Oryctocephalus burgessensis Resser, 1938.
Other deposits: many other species worldwide.
Middle Cambrian, Glossopleura Zone to Bathyuriscus-Elrathina Zone (approximately 505 million years ago).
Principal localities:
The Trilobite Beds and smaller localities on Mount Stephen. The Walcott Quarry on Fossil Ridge.
Brief history of research:
The genus Oryctocephalus was established by Charles Walcott in 1886 to include the species O. primus, based on isolated cranidia and pygidia from the Middle Cambrian of Nevada. Reed named and described O. reynoldsi in 1899 from a complete specimen (including the articulated thorax), probably collected at the Mount Stephen Trilobite Beds. In the same year as Reed's paper appeared, G. F. Matthew also had a publication in press, describing O. walkeri from collections on Mount Stephen. Although minor differences between O. reynoldsi and O. walkeri were noted (Matthew, 1899), they are almost certainly one and the same, and Reed's name has publication priority. In 1938, Resser erected a new species, O. burgessensis, for specimens from the Walcott Quarry. Rasetti (1951) illustrated O. reynoldsi and O. burgessensis and named another new species, O. matthewi, from both localities. Whittington reassessed the Burgess Shale species of Oryctocephalus in 1995, and found that Rasetti's O. matthewi was indistinguishable from O. reynoldsi.
Hard parts: both Oryctocephalus reynoldsi and O. burgessensis are small trilobites, with adult exoskeletons generally 15-20 mm long, excluding pygidial spines. Dorsal shields are ovoid in outline, slightly narrower posteriorly. O. reynoldsi has a broad semicircular cephalon, with the genal angles drawn out and back into long slender spines extending almost to the pygidium. The distinctive glabella widens slightly forwards to a rounded front at the anterior border. Three pairs of pits lie forward of the occipital ring, just inside the axial furrows; the posterior pair is joined by a shallow transverse furrow. Faint eye ridges swing back from near the front of the glabella to the long crescentic eye lobes far out on the cheeks. The thorax contains seven wide segments with strong, curving pleural furrows and long terminal spines directed obliquely rearward. The unmistakable pygidium is semicircular, narrower than the cephalon, with a tapering axis of five rings and a terminal piece ending well inside the posterior margin. Six radially disposed pleurae all end in spines, the fourth pair being much broader at the base and very long, directed out and back to at least twice the length of the pygidium. The short fifth and sixth spine pairs extend straight back. O. burgessensis can be distinguished mainly by its subtly shorter genal and fourth pygidial spines; the genal spine also appears to arise slightly farther forward than in O. reynoldsi.
Unmineralized anatomy: not known
Rare, both on Mount Stephen and on Fossil Ridge.
Maximum size:
25 mm
Life habits:
Nektobenthic, mobile
Feeding strategies:
Ecological Interpretations:
Very similar species of Oryctocephalus are found in Middle Cambrian rocks of deeper water origin in many places around the world, suggesting that these cosmopolitan trilobites typically inhabited open ocean settings.

Name: Sovereign
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Friesian/Percheron Cross
Age: 4
Discipline: Dressage
Owners: Fay Windsor
Eventually, Sovereign was allowed off stall rest to start a slow rehab program. Four months later, the vet did a re-check, and it was a happy end to our story. The combination of surgery, rehabilitation, and the support of the supplement had worked! Sovereign was given a completely clean bill of health. As we prepare for our first dressage test next year, Sovereign still takes SmartFlex III Resilience Pellets every day for ongoing support.

Rap mogul Diddy and the Rev. Al Sharpton will speak at late rapper Heavy D's funeral on Friday, and BET Networks plans a tribute for him at the Soul Train awards.
Diddy said in a statement that he was "heartbroken by the passing of my dear friend."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Stars We Lost In 2011
U.S. & World
"He was a wonderful human being, who inspired and paved the way for a Hip Hop generation," the statement said. "We were like brothers — I will miss him more than words can express."
A private funeral for the rap legend will be held at the historic Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, just north of New York City.

Heavy D, born Dwight Arrington Myers, died at a Los Angeles hospital last week after collapsing outside his home. He was 44.
The New York-born rapper was the titular member of Heavy D and the Boyz, which had hits with "Now That We Found Love," ''Who's the Man" and "Somebody for Me." He was one of the genre's top stars in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
BET also announced Monday that the Soul Train Music Awards in Atlanta will pay tribute to Heavy D, with Curtis Blow, Naughty by Nature, Big Daddy Kane, Doug E. Fresh, DJ Eddie F, Whodini and Daddy-O of Stetsasonic participating.

Heavy D's family has launched the Heavy D and Xea Myers Fund, named in honor of the rapper and his daughter, who's 11 years old. The family said it was devastated by his death.
"Though Hev will most notably be remembered for his work both behind-the-scenes and in the forefront, he will always be remembered by us as a generous soul who remained humble and unselfish till his final days," the family said in a statement.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Do The Diddy! Hot Shots Of Sean Combs!
Mary J. Blige, who started her career on Uptown Records, the label on which Heavy D released most of his music and of which he eventually became president, called the late rapper an "angel and protector."
"He was one of the people in my life who always had something inspiring and encouraging to say," she said in a statement. "He was so joyful and optimistic. … His talent brought so much joy to our lives. I love you and miss you, Heavy."

Chris Sale was mentioned on the latest issue of 'Sporting News':
White Sox director of player development Buddy Bell had the following to say about Sale.
"From the beginning, Kenny (Williams, the Sox's G.M.) is really the one who pushed this through. He felt along that Chris could help the major league club at some point this year. The thing about Chris is he's a very mature kid. He has no fear at all. He's competitive. He pitches in the mid-90s, and he's throwing his breaking ball and changeup for strikes. That's an usual combination for any young pitcher. The plan all along is to get him back into the rotation, but he's been so successful out of the bullpen. That's a good problem to have."

Brewers slump continues, 9-1
Phillies sweep four-game series
MILWAUKEE — Jimmy Rollins broke up Matt Garza's no-hit bid with a single in the seventh before sparking a seven-run outburst an inning later, helping the Philadelphia Phillies complete a four-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers with a 9-1 win Thursday.
Rollins greeted reliever Will Smith in the eighth by singling to left to drive home two runs.
Garza (6-6) had just been pulled from the game to a standing ovation but could only watch helplessly from the dugout as his shutout evaporated.
The Phillies sent 12 batters to the plate in the eighth and got RBI ground-rule doubles from Ryan Howard and Cody Asche.
Philadelphia swept a four-game series for the first time since taking four in Cincinnati in 2011.
Rookie David Buchanan (5-5) struck out five in seven innings.

A double century stand by Alastair Cook and Nick Compton pulled England off the ropes and into a relatively safe position in the first Test against New Zealand today.
Batting on a placid University Oval wicket in Dunedin, the pair put on 231 for the first wicket before Cook was out for 116 while Compton posted his maiden Test century to be not out 102.
At stumps, England were 234 for one, 59 runs short of making New Zealand bat again with only one day remaining in the rain-interrupted Test.
After facing 252 deliveries in more than five-and-a-half hours, Cook was dismissed 14 balls before stumps when he edged Trent Boult to wicketkeeper BJ Watling.
New Zealand had declared their first innings at 460 for nine in the morning session on Saturday, a comprehensive 293 runs ahead of England's first innings 167.
But their bowlers were unable to reproduce their first innings domination as Cook and Compton cruised through most of the day.
Compton had a scare on 16 when New Zealand appealed for a catch down the leg-side but both the appeal and review were turned down, and both Cook and Compton
narrowly made their ground taking cheeky singles late in the day.
But other than that their innings were chanceless -- easily countering what swing Neil Wagner could muster on the same wicket where he bagged four first innings wickets -- until Cook fell just before stumps.
Until then, Cook and Compton's resistance had been formidable and without fanfare with Compton showing no sign of the pressure he was under to retain his place in the side after a four-ball duck in the first innings.
He could not disguise his delight as he jumped in the air and pumped his fists after flicking Tim Southee to midwicket to bring up his hundred knowing he had played a vital role in getting England out of trouble and probably saving his Test career.
England's measured approach was in contrast to the New Zealand onslaught when they resumed the day at 402 for seven and declared at 460 for nine.
In a whirlwind opening session, they cracked 58 runs in less than nine overs as Brendon McCullum raced from 44 to 74 and Bruce Martin advanced from 17 to 41.
McCullum declared after the dismissal of the overnight pair to give his bowlers more than an hour before lunch to attack the England line-up.
But with conditions weighted heavily in favour of the batsmen, the bowlers struggled to make an impact and a draw was looming as the likely outcome.

DSkok necesitaba un nuevo diseño de tema de wordpress y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 103 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
http://www.ForEntrepreneurs.com - Expertise, Wisdom & Resources for entrepreneurs
I am a serial entrepreneur, turned Venture Capitalist. As an entrepreneur, I founded 4 companies, and did one turnaround. 3 of those companies went public. After 25 years in that role, I wanted to help other entrepreneurs, so I switched to the "dark side" and became a VC. For the last 8 years I have been investing in startups and helping their management teams. An example would be the Open Source company JBoss, where I helped the management team build the company from $1m in revenues to $65m in revenues in two and a half years. (JBoss was then acquired by Red Hat.)
My motives in building this site are to provide a place where I and fellow experienced entrepreneurs can share their wisdom and experiences with new entrepreneurs. Over time, I would like it to become the pre-eminent resource for startups and entrepreneurs on the web, with a lot of vibrant discussion.
It is not a corporate site, and will never be used sell anything. It is a personal site, in some ways like a blog, but with many of the entries remaining relevant over very long periods of time, so placed on web pages rather than blog posts (which tend to be time sensitive, and expire fast).
Since I work for a VC firm, I would like the look of the site to be elegant, classy, sophisticated, and professional, but also modern.
The Logo that is on the current site, was a quick throw away design, please feel free to replace with your own.
Entrepreneurs and executives working in High Tech startup companies that plan to, or have already, raised Angel funding, or Venture Capital, and have a goal of becoming a leader in their particular space.
Design goals: elegant, classy, sophisticated, and professional, but also modern.
I need a web site, as opposed to a blogging site. The web site will have four main sections (see http://www.forentrepreneurs.com to find out what these are), plus a blog page. Under each of these sections, I will have sub-pages.
I want the home page to help make it clear what the structure of the site is, and where to find appropriate information that the reader is looking for.
Keep my main content section 610 pixels wide. It should allow the content to standout, and not overpower the content. Based on the graphics that I need to use, I would like the main content section to have a white background, as I will use diagram elements that blend to white.
I would like a Flash element on the Home page that has four panels to explain the four main sections of the site, with a nice graphic for each one that rotates through. See http://www.sliderocket.com for the look that I am after. I want the design to include the design for those four panels. ( I understand the flash coding is not included.)
To get a feel for company web site where I work, visit http://www.matrixpartners.com. It could be interesting to use look and feel from that site, but not necessary. But this will give a feeling for a design that liked, and worked with a design team to create.

Some valuable tips for provisionally registered teachers (PRTs) on this important step in the Inquiry Process.
As part of the Victorian government's special needs plan, registered teachers are now required to undertake professional development (PD) activities to develop their capability to teacher learners with disability (special needs).
Like most businesses, COVID-19 has impacted the way the Victorian Institute of Teaching is conducting business.
VIT has been able to maintain delivery of its regulatory functions and keep phone lines open – albeit with some changes to our telephone numbers (as we are working away from the office).
The 2019 CRT survey results have been released.
The Education Show is a free event for Victorian teachers and school leaders, showcasing the latest in teaching and learning resources.
The Centre for Program Evaluation at the University of Melbourne is developing a framework that will help school leaders and teachers make decisions about professional learning needs, in relation to improving teaching practice.
If you have a question, check out our most frequently asked questions during our current peak period. Otherwise, find out the best times to contact us.
We've put together some of the most frequently asked questions to help you check you've met all of your registration requirements for the 2019-20 annual registration period.
World Teachers' Day is an opportunity to acknowledge our teachers and say thanks for the significant contributions they make in our classrooms and communities.

17th September 2017 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Holy Rood Church
'Ascent' is the name for the 6.30pm Sunday service at Holy Rood Church. 'Ascent' uses the picture of 'going up the mountain of the Lord' to encourage us in prayer, worship and seeking God's presence.
In both Old and New Testaments, mountains were places of meeting God. 'Ascent' reflects the desire to mark out a space within the life of the parish for extended worship, prayer, ministry and the work of the Holy Spirit. It takes time to make that journey, to draw near to God, and at 'Ascent' we want to make that time and space.
We do hope you're excited about the 'Ascent'. Let's make the journey together.
Refreshments are available at the back of the church before the service.

"Modern portfolio theory is dead. It's an utter failure. It was incorrect to begin with."
David Wright might be soft-spoken with a professorial tone, but he didn't hold back with his controversial comments at NAPFA's Spring Conference 2013 about future trends and where the markets are headed.
"We're tactical, and don't believe in buy and hold," the co-founder of Sierra Investment Management said. "I am going to cheerfully attack the concept of 'new normal.' If this is the new normal, than God help us. This isn't the new normal yet, but it could be in another five or 10 years."
To illustrate his disapproval of buy and hold, Wright noted that he entered the business in 1966.
"In 1965 the Dow hit 1,000," he explained. "Seventeen years later it was at 764. If clients were taking distributions during that period they would never have recovered."
Wright noted that the theme of almost every conference of the past two years has been either risk mitigation or alternative investments.
"That because of the failure of the efficient market hypothesis," he said. "It assumed markets are perfectly efficient but failed to consider behavioral economics and the role of humans. Most Nobel theories, with the exception of Bill Sharpe, have blown up. The investing public is sick of theories."
Taking what he called a long-term perspective, he noted the massive debt bubble that began in the 1980s and the painful deleveraging that is still ongoing, some of which will include default.
He also noted deflation taking place in some parts of the U.S. economy, some parts of Europe, and "in Japan since 1989," as well as the massive consumption of the American public.
"Fully 70% of our economy provides goods and services to households. That will change."
Lastly, he argued that the "employment recession" is far from over, and that it will take at least 10 years to get back to full employment.
"New job seekers are entering the market just as we're trying to recover from the worst recession since the 1930s. That will take time to sort itself out."
As a result, the Federal Reserve has the U.S. economy on "life support," and any bank can borrow up to $10 billion at next to nothing.
For these reasons, Wright concluded that he believed "we are at the top of the market."

The Houston Dynamo Academy, presented by Statoil, swept their weekend series with Sporting Kansas City at the Houston Amateur Sports Park. The Dynamo U-16s defeated the Sporting KC U-16s 3-2 and 5-2 on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, while the U-18s defeated the visitors 2-0 and 4-3.
Due to conference re-alignment, the Dynamo and Sporting KC were both placed in the Central Conference's Frontier Division and were scheduled to play a home-and-home series this season. To cut down on travel costs, the Dynamo and Sporting played all of their matches in Houston this past weekend. Next season, all matches between the clubs will be played in Kansas City.
Needing to keep pace in a tough Frontier Division, the Dynamo U-18s responded with a strong showing on Saturday against Sporting. Bryan Salazar put the Dynamo ahead in the 16th minute and Jorge Contreras sealed the game with a goal in the 62nd minute. Salazar leads the Dynamo with nine goals in 12 games this season.
On Sunday, the U-18s played a back-and-forth affair with KC, jumping out to leads of 2-0 and 3-2 before eventually winning the game 4-3. Irvin Ramirez and Manuel Chavez (pictured, above) put the Dynamo ahead in the first half, but Sporting scored two goals right after the halftime break to pull even. Jose Rodriguez responded quickly with his third goal of the season, but Sporting's Darby Cronin found the back of the net in the 76th minute to even the match at three. The resilient Dynamo continued to push for the winner and found it in the 82nd minute when Carlos Ibarra broke through the defense and slotted it past the goalkeeper to give Houston a 4-3 win. Following the 2-0 weekend, the Dynamo U-18s improved to 8-3-3 on the season and sit in second place in the division.
The Dynamo U-16s defeated the Sporting KC U-16s 3-2 on Saturday behind goals from Albion Neziri, Elo Ozumba and Christian Lucatero. The match ended with only 19 men on the field as Sporting's Dominick Parry and Cole Stevenson and Houston's Sergio Quintanilla were issued red cards. On Sunday, the Dynamo defeated the visitors 5-2, marking the third time this season the Dynamo U-16s have scored four or more goals in a game. Christian Lucatero tallied one and Elo Ozumba scored two to give each player a team-leading eight goals on the season. Josue Palomino and Jose Duarte provided the insurance goals for Houston.
With the wins, the Dynamo U-16s improved to 10-3-1 on the season and sit in second place in their division behind Solar Chelsea SC.
Both squads will resume action on Saturday when they host Classics Elite at the Houston Amateur Sports Park. The U-18s kick off at 2 p.m. with the U-16s to follow at 4:30 p.m. All matches are free and open to the public. Visit HoustonDynamo.com/Academy to see the complete schedule for all Dynamo Academy and Pre-Academy teams.

Wanna know how celebs like Reese Witherspoon and Eva Mendes earn their PG (Perfect Glutes) rating? Time and money help, but the real payoff comes from working out with trainers who know all the body-shaping tricks. Here, top pros help you sculpt an A-list body.
1. Go for the Glutes
Celebrity Trainer: David Kirsch, author of The Ultimate New York Body Plan (McGraw-Hill, 2005) and trainer to Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell
To sculpt your own box-office butt, try this move that's touted as the ultimate celebrity secret to a better backside: stability ball prone scissors.
- Lie facedown with your hips resting on a stability ball, hands and feet on the floor for balance.
- Walk your feet out behind you so your legs form a wide V.
- Slowly lift both of your feet about 12 inches off the floor and squeeze them together.
- Lower your toes back down to the floor, spreading them into a V shape at the bottom of the move, and repeat for a total of 15 to 20 reps.
2. Beat the Clock
Celebrity Trainer: Joe Dowdell, president of Peak Performance Strength & Conditioning Center in New York City, and trainer to Anne Hathaway and Claire Danes
Spend less time (about 20 to 30 seconds) resting between sets at the beginning of your workout when your muscles aren't exhausted, and more time (40 to 60 seconds) as they become fatigued. This method, known as density training, can cut the time you spend working out by as much as 15 to 20 percent. It also forces your muscles to work harder while improving your endurance at the same time.
3. Play Favorites
Celebrity Trainer: Harley Pasternak, author of Five Factor Fitness (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2004) and trainer to Alicia Keys, Eva Mendes, and Halle Berry
Work with only one arm or one leg at a time when strength training with dumbbells. This way, while you're resting one side of your body you'll keep the other side going strong. Your heart will also have to keep pumping hard through your entire workout, which means that you'll actually burn more calories overall.
4. Think in Focus
Celebrity Trainer: Michael George, author of Body Express Makeover (Fireside Simon & Schuster, 2005) and trainer to Julianne Moore, Meg Ryan, and Reese Witherspoon
Most people do two to three sets of two to three exercises for each muscle group. You'll get better results if you pick four different exercises that work the same muscle — do three sets of them back-to-back with no rest in between. Think squats, lunges, side kicks, and roundhouse kicks for glutes. Focusing on one muscle for three sets of four exercises allows you to work each muscle 25 to 50 percent more thoroughly.
Bonus: You'll finish your workout in half the time.
5. Take a Breath
Celebrity Trainer: Mark Blanchard, creator of The Sedona Experience DVD and trainer to Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston
Even if you're not in yoga class, being mindful of your breath can pay off. Inhaling and exhaling evenly and completely makes any workout more effective by bringing extra oxygen to your muscles. Aim for about 12 inhalations and exhalations per minute.
6. Count Down
Celebrity Trainer: Ashley Borden, Nike spokeswoman who has trained Mandy Moore, Christina Aguilera, Lauren Graham, and Tori Spelling
Instead of starting every set by counting from 1 to 10, decide how many repetitions you're going to do and count backward (10, 9, 8...). This will add staying power to your workout because it gives you more of a finish line to cross, making it harder for you to quit too soon.
7. Shrug It Off
Celebrity Trainer: Harley Pasternak
Increase the benefits of your shoulder presses by adding a shrug (as if you were trying to touch your shoulders to your ears) at the top of the movement (just be careful not to lock your elbows). This trick will boost your sculpting results because you'll be moving through a fuller range of motion than if you were just pressing the weights up and down.
8. Sculpt a Sexy Back
Celebrity Trainer: John MacLaren, founder of Elite Fitness Training Systems in L.A. and trainer to Melinda Clarke of The OC
When you're doing lat pull-downs, focus on pulling your shoulders down and together as if you were trying to get your shoulder blades to touch behind your back. This motion keeps you from using your biceps instead of your upper-back muscles — a mistake that causes your arms and shoulders to tire out before your back has a chance to get a good workout.
9. Boost Your Burn
Celebrity Trainer: Gregory Joujon-Roche, trainer to Rachel Weisz and Demi Moore
Treadmill Tactics
- After warming up on the treadmill by walking for 3 minutes, increase the incline to level 8, hold on to the handles, and pretend that you're trudging through the mud.
- Bend your knees and dig into the treadmill with your heels for one to two minutes, then lower the incline back to 1 for one to two minutes to recover.
- Repeat this cycle 10 times.
- You'll increase your calorie burn as you sculpt a sexy butt.
Get Your Pre-Baby Body Back
Wanna get your pre-baby body back? Hollywood insider David Kirsch tells how to get into top form like hot mamas Heidi Klum, Reese Witherspoon, and Julianne Moore.
10. Get Six-Pack Abs
- Lie faceup holding a stability ball with your arms extended over your head.
- Raise arms and legs to meet over your abs and place the ball between your ankles.
- Repeat movement, taking the ball into your hands.
- Do 3 sets of 10, 3 times a week.
11. Get Slim All Over
A combo of cardio and strength training quickens weight loss. Do 30 minutes of cardio three times a week and light weights twice a week.
12. Target Glutes with Sumo Sidekicks
- With feet wider than shoulder-width apart, bend knees past 90 degrees.
- Stand and kick right leg to side at hip height.
- Repeat on left.
- Do 20 reps 3 times a week.

Flea Treatment Do's and Dont's
Flea Treatment Do's
Do use the right products for your pet. Cat products for cats, dog products for dogs and small animal products for your rabbit, hamsters, ferrets and other small pets.
Do know the weight of your pet and use the appropriate products for their weight, your vet will have suitable scales. Alternatively, try getting on the home scales yourself, note your weight, then pick up your pet. The difference is your pets weight!
Do use the right products for the situation. Repellents will not treat a flea burden.
Do treat the house as well as the animal. This is essential if treating a flea burden!
Do consider treating your pet for worms if it already has fleas/has recently had fleas.
Do re-treat your pet regularly as recommended on the product packaging.
Do ensure you apply the Spot On to the skin – not the fur.
Flea Treatment Dont's
Don't use the wrong product! For example using dog products on cats and vice versa. The two animals are not the same, and as such using the wrong product i.e. Dog Spot On, on a cat, can cause devastating consequences. If you have both cats and dogs, it is important to use products which say that they can safely be used in a household with both cats and dogs such as our Bob Martin Double Action Spot On. Otherwise you will have to ensure that your pets are well separated during and after treatment until the treatment area has well and truly dried up (usually 48 hours).
Don't allow your pet to lick / groom the area of application when you have applied a Spot On (of any kind). Spot Ons are designed for topical application. This means they are only suitable for applying onto the skin. If you allow your pet to lick the Spot On off its skin then it will ingest the actives and that may make your pet feel ill.
Don't allow recently treated pets to groom each other – cats are especially bad for this. Spot On treatment are designed for so called topical application and not for ingestion.
Don't allow a cat or dog to chew its flea collar. The actives which are on the collar are designed for so called topical application and not for ingestion; flea collars have to be applied correctly, so pets cannot chew them.
Don't use a flea repellent or flea collar to treat a flea burden. Flea repellents and flea collars are preventative, slow releasing products that are not strong enough to treat a significant infestation. Always use products that claim they 'kill fleas' when you already have a flea infestation.
Don't apply a Spot On Product whilst the cat or dog has a collar on – never mix products! Always remove the collar before applying a Spot On. Wait until the Spot On application site has dried up before you put the collar back on.
Don't allow problems to go unnoticed. An untreated flea infestation can lead to your pet suffering from anaemia. After all, fleas do live on your pet's blood.
Don't shampoo your pet too soon after application of the product. This is the right thing to do if you have applied the wrong product. If you have applied the right product, it needs time to act before you wash it off!

Benefits of Hot Tubs and Spas
Hot tubs are beneficial from all possible aspects and have proven to be a good investment for families. They have therapeutic and health related advantages and are a good source of water therapy. Hot tubs solve problems related to stress, such as insomnia or bodily aches and pains. Thus they serve well for patients of arthritis. Relaxing in a hot tub serves as a pain reducer and also releases euphoric feelings by releasing endorphins in the relaxer's body. Therefore, it is also beneficial for patients of depression.
By increasing circulation in the blood, hot tubs also work well with injured people by helping in quicker rehabilitation of injured parts of the body. Surprisingly enough, it has also been scientifically proven that hot tubs may serve to curb diabetes by reducing sugar levels in blood. Besides being used as an ultimate means of relaxation, hot tubs may also be used for rowing, swimming, yoga and other forms of exercise.
Other than health benefits, one can also look at financial benefits of investing in a hot tub. Firstly, since hot tubs are often suggested by doctors to patients of depression, arthritis, insomnia etc, if bought along with a doctor's prescription, one can undertake a much lower sales tax on a hot tub. Secondly, if you decide to buy a portable hot tub, contrary to widely held beliefs, you will not experience an increase in your property tax. Lastly, a hot tub can act as a major advantage when your house is out on the market searching for possible buyers. Real estate agents generally claim that houses with hot tubs definitely attract many more buyers than usual, thus proving to be quite an asset in the long run, even after you are done using it!
Hot tubs are a much better option as compared to general hot favorites such as swimming pools. This is because all the other alternatives are hardly used throughout the year, especially during winter, autumn and spring. While hot tubs are used much more often, especially in areas with colder and longer winters. They are also useable during hot summers to cool off by simply reducing the temperature of the water in the hot tubs.
So, hot tubs prove to be an easy to use, low maintenance asset to you all year round. Other than putting one's money to full use, hot tubs are a much more affordable option than pools, RV's, or home remodeling projects.

Teaching Shapes Using Read-Alouds, Visualization, and Sketch to Stretch
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Three 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Tampa, Florida
This lesson encourages strategic reading and real-world math connections using a variety of techniques. Three interactive read-alouds of winter-themed books guide students through the concepts of shape and pattern. During the read-alouds, students are encouraged to use a visualization strategy to synthesize information. Students then use illustrations to interpret texts visually. This will help them connect the reading to their world, as well as demonstrate their comprehension of the math concepts. In the final session, students apply what they have learned by choosing from a variety of learning center activities.
Moyer, P.S. (2000). Communicating mathematically: Children's literature as a natural connection. The Reading Teacher, 54(3), 246255.
- Books provide a useful tool for encouraging children to think and talk about math in real-world contexts.
- By choosing high-quality, math-related literature, teachers can seamlessly integrate the learning of math concepts and the development of language.
- Recognizing, interpreting, and creating patterns are important aspects of developing math skills.
Fisher, D., Flood, J., Lapp, D., & Frey, N. (2004). Interactive read-alouds: Is there a common set of implementation practices? The Reading Teacher, 58(1), 817.
- Read-alouds encourage students to read, build their knowledge about specific subjects, improve their vocabulary, and develop their concepts of print and story structure.
- There are specific strategies teachers can use to make read-alouds more effective (see Preparation, 1).
Whitin, P. (2002). Leading into literature circles through the use of the sketch-to-stretch strategy. The Reading Teacher, 55(5), 444450.
- The sketch-to-stretch strategy allows students to demonstrate what they have learned from the read-aloud text and to make text-to-self connections.
- Students expand their knowledge by listening to each other and sharing what they have learned.

As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you'll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
HDPE cutting board is engineered for durability, low maintenance and safety. Its textured, matte surface safely holds food in place without slipping. The "natural" bright white color is favored for its sanitary look. Wood and other materials absorb bacteria, splinter, chip, swell, peel, rot, warp, bend and crack. HDPE cutting board eliminates those problems, substantially outlasting cutting boards made from other materials. USDA and FDA approved, NSF certified under standard 51 stain. Acid, odor, moisture, and mildew resistant.
HPDE, or High Density Polyethylene, is a very light and extremely tough, chemically resistant plastic and is one of the most commonly used plastics in the United States. It does not absorb water and is self-lubricating. High density polyethylene lends itself particularly well to blow molding, e.g. for bottles, cutting boards, dipping baskets, dippers, trays and containers.
Marine Use: boating seats, floors, cabinetry, counter tops, walkways
Storage: bottles, bottle caps, food containers, plastic bags, bins, laundry detergent bottles, fuel tanks, watering cans, lawn and garden products, storage sheds, geomembranes for hydraulic applications (such as canals and bank reinforcements) and chemical containment.
Piping Systems: chemical resistant piping systems, corrosion protection for steel pipelines, geothermal heat transfer piping systems, water pipes for domestic water supply, agricultural processes
Industrial: mechanical parts, tank linings, wear strips
Consumer: swimming pool installations, backpacking frames, banners, folding chairs and tables, hard hats, hula hoops, plastic lumber, fireworks
Outdoor Decks and Cabinetry: outdoor, decks, cabinetry, cooking areas, fire places
Boarding: arena board (puck board), moisture resistant body boards for morgues
Food and Beverage: FDA approved cutting board, cheese molds, frozen food molds

The AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour, Part Eight
From One Extreme To The Other--It's All Good
Our next two stops on the AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour took us to extremes. The dirt track located in Crossville, Tennessee, is one of the more out-of-the-way tracks we will visit on our four-year tour, but it does attract dirt racers from around the Nashville area as well as a few asphalt converts. The very next weekend took us to one of the most famous and well attended racetracks in America, from both a team and a spectator standpoint: Eldora Speedway.
Crossville Raceway
Crossville is about 110 miles east of downtown Nashville. It's a small track, meaning it doesn't attract large numbers of racers or fans per se. But it does run a very good show. The track is family owned and the racers are loyal. We even ran into a few former asphalt racers who decided to make the switch to dirt this year. They were lovin' every minute of it.
Our trip to Crossville was a hurried one. We were at Paducah, Kentucky, on Friday night, August 27, and had to get up early and make the 250-mile trek to this track, stopping in Clarksville, Tennessee, to drop off our 28-foot trailer on the way.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the owners, Buddy and Sandy Sheehan. They were both very glad to be chosen to be represented on our Tour, but somewhat confused as to why. Why would Circle Track choose, out of all of the other tracks around the Southeast, to come to little ol' Crossville?
We explained that our goals for the Tour did not only include large purse races, but that we needed to see what the regular Friday/Saturday night tracks were doing and to get a feel for the health of short track racing across America.
As is often the case personally, when I visit racetracks I've never been to before, something magical happens in one way or another. It happened again at this track. It wasn't necessarily the friendly atmosphere, or even the warm welcome we received from the people who ran the track and the racers, it was in the competition.
In one of the four-cylinder classes, the feature became a classic battle between two cars for the win. All during the race, they changed the lead, they worked lapped traffic, and time and time again each would come back from multiple car lengths back to retake the lead. It was honestly one of the very best races I've ever seen.
But that was just a prelude to a very interesting and telling race in the Late Model division. There was a fairly large contingent of teams in this class and as usual there were a few top teams who, rumors had it, were the ones to beat.
Each of the top two competitors had big-dollar built motors, but at this track, crate motor cars were allowed, with a weight break, to run with the built motors. Qualifying proved out the rumors as the two built motor cars qualified first and second. The third fastest time, interestingly enough, was a crate motor car.
In the heat races, each of these three cars won. Now it was time for the showdown. The A-main featured two separate races with a roll of the dice to determine the invert for the second race. Chris Wilson, in the third-qualifying crate motor car won both. It was how he did it that was interesting.
I watched as he circled the track, entering the corner smoothly and straight ahead almost as if braking, then running the middle groove again straight ahead, and then motoring off the corners with barely a wiggle. The other cars, especially the top two qualifiers, were entering the corners at full speed, throwing the car sideways, running the top groove, and using a small cushion up there, and watching as Wilson ran off with the show.
The track has Victory Lane setup outside Turn 2 after the race and I had a talk with Wilson after all of the photos had been taken. I asked, "Where did you learn to drive like that?" He explained that he had run on asphalt tracks the past seven years or so and this was his first year on dirt. He said he didn't know any other way to drive. I said, "Well, don't change a thing."
It was interesting to me that in all of the time I've spent at dirt tracks and watching the cars, as well as suggestions I give in articles in CT, that I have always advocated this style of driving. I had explained in past writings that when I raced Karts on a very good dirt track in central Florida, I drove in straight, braking as much as I could, then drove straight off and I won a bunch of races. I never understood why racers in stock cars couldn't drive like that.
Then I noticed Billy Moyer's and Scott Bloomquist's driving styles in the mid to late '90s and concluded that not only could it be done, but it could be done in a very successful way. We now see more and more drivers using that style and most times it's successful. In this case, our driver with less horsepower, was able to beat a couple of better-funded programs. That is a victory inside of a victory.
And so I learned something valuable that I hope you take into account with your program. It's not always possible to drive your dirt car like an asphalt car, but the more moisture, the more banking the track has, and when the track has no berm to drive off of, driving more straight ahead into, through the middle, and off the corner, the lower your lap times will be. And the fewer mistakes you'll make, which adds up to much better finishes.
We'd put quite a few miles on the ol' motorhome by now, and were getting worn out. So, we had pre-planned a mid-tour break renting a cabin in Townsend, North Carolina, near the Great Smokey Mountains National Park for a few days. We made numerous trips up into the park in our Jeep Wrangler with the top and the doors removed and the weather turning cooler. It was a refreshing change from a very hot and humid trip so far.
Once we had recuperated, it was off to the north and a 400-plus-mile trip to Eldora. But before we left the great state of Tennessee, we did a quick trip up the road to Bowling Green, Kentucky, to see the folks at Holley Performance Products. In last month's issue, editor Rob explained some of the new technology these folks are working on.
Eldora Speedway
I had been to Eldora before and for our readers who have been with us for a while, you might remember we wrote a report on a test we did in March, 1998. I attended both the Dream and the World 100 that year and I have been back to this race a few more times since then.
Our thanks go out to the track management, especially Larry Boos, for getting us set up along the midway section where we were able to meet and greet many of our readers and fans. In fact, at the annual Thursday night concert, our bus served as the backdrop for the event with the band playing and crowd having lots of fun all around us.
The facilities were in great shape too. Much has been added to the speedway since Tony Stewart took over ownership in 2004. Lots of new concrete has been added, suites have been built outside Turns 3 and 4 and the event is as well run and organized as any time in the past.
It always amazed me how well organized everything was over the years and it was a tribute to the founder of Eldora, Earl Baltes. He built the track in 1954 and had owned and operated it till Stewart took over. That anyone could pull off a race where, in past years, more than 240 teams came to race for 28 starting positions, is a wonder of promoting.
This year we saw upwards of 160 teams show up for the $43,000 purse. Usually at these big money races, we see teams that just show up well prepared and fast. These are normally the teams that have done well in the past including drivers like Bloomquist, Moyer, and Donnie Moran-all multiple winners of this event.
We had been keeping an eye on Moyer in our last installment where we had seen him winning a large amount of money and more than 21 races so far this year. After all, he had won the Dream here in June, so it was expected that he would do well.
It wasn't to be easy for Moyer. He placed ninth in his heat race and had to race his way into the A-main from B-main #1, starting on the pole and finishing Second. This put him starting 23rd on the grid with a long way to go to the front.
Heavy fog rolled in by the time the race started and from my vantage point between Turns 3 and 4, I couldn't see much of the progression of the race. But I spoke with several observers who filled me in on how Moyer got it done. He ran the track through the middle and bottom grooves, kept his momentum up and he put it on whoever was in front of him until he no longer had anyone else to pass.
By lap 29, he was racing side-by-side with Bloomquist for sixth. On lap 51 he took second place from Don O'Neal. He took the lead on lap 66 and never looked back completing his second sweep of the Dream and the World 100. And he did it in much the same fashion using his signature driving style. And like the kid from Crossville Raceway, he drove mostly straight ahead, keeping his momentum up.
The rest of the story is that Moyer went on to sweep the three races at the Knoxville Nationals on September 30, and October 1 and 2, for two $7,000 payouts and the final race for $40,000 for a yearly total for wins alone of $324,000. Why do I impress this on you so strongly? Because success is the only measure we should, and ultimately do, use in racing.
The work Moyer has put into his cars as to front end geometry by his own admissions in interviews we have seen, the setups he chooses, and the way he drives the car all point to superior methodology using the one true measure-success.
So, if you are faced with decisions related to how you set up, design, and race your car, look to those who have been successful, learn the areas where they concentrate their efforts, and do the same. That is our message this time around from the Tour.
Next Up Next we head for the big state of Texas and the dirt track at Texas Motor Speedway just up the road from Dallas. From there, we conclude this portion of our AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour with a visit to Columbus Motor Speedway located in Columbus, Mississippi.

Nip and Prince Albert Self Pierce
and Prince Albert Self Pierce
Nip and Prince Albert Self Pierce
After reading the material in BME I've decided I'm not as unusual as I had thought. I'm a nearly 44 year old white male, living in the suburbs with a wife and some kids. Suit by day, Levis at night and on the weekends.
I made it through the sixties without getting my ear pierced, didn't even think it was cool! My first desire to put a hole in my body, other than what was already there, happened about five years ago when I was on vacation. My wife and I were standing in line at an espresso stand. In front of us was a young man who was shirtless. Hanging from his left nip was a 16g gold ring. I was immediately drawn to it and my own left nip tingled as I tried not to stare.
After he had paid for his latte and moved on I asked my wife if she had seen it and what she thought about it. She said she had seen it and thought it was sexy! That's all I needed. The rest of vacation I thought about how I would pierce my nip.
A few days after we had returned home my wife turned in early for bed. That was my chance. I downed a couple of beers (not a good idea when you want to use sharp objects to alter your body). Found a large 14g darning needle and got all the other stuff I thought I would need.
In the bathroom, I took off my t-shirt and prepared the site. I washed it down with alcohol (not the beer) and used a little topical numbing salve on it. After a couple of minutes I picked the needle out of the alcohol, positioned it against the side of my left nip and pushed. And pushed. And pushed. It wouldn't go through!
First Lesson: darning needles were not made for body piercing.
With the needle half way through my nip I pushed even harder. The pain was intense but sensual. Eventually, with enough pressure, the needle point came out the other side but I couldn't get it to go any further.
With my shirt off, a darning needle stuck half-way through my nip and blood trickling down my chest I went to the garage and got my needle nose pliers. Back at the bathroom I used the pliers to grab hold of the needle and pull it on through.
Lesson Two: Nipples are tough!
Once the needle was through I reached into the dish of alcohol and picked up the 'ring'. I had taken one of my wife's gold earrings which was about the size of the needle. I slid the ring through and...BAM...I had a ring in my nipple! I fell in love with it immediately.
The next morning my nipple was very sore, but looked great with the gold ring through it. I decided to take an extra long lunch hour and visit a local sex/fetish store to read up on what I had done. For about an hour I visited with a guy behind the jewelry counter and learned more than I knew there was to know about piercing, jewelry, etc. The guy got a kick out of my experience, but warned me about infections, rejections, etc. He also sold me a 14g curved barbell that I inserted once I got back to my office. This was great...but by now my nip was really sore.
A week later I stretched the hole to a 12g with a barbell (shouldn't
have done it that soon). With a traumatized nip, I decided to leave it
Lesson Three: Your wife will want to play with it as soon as you can stand it! Unfortunately, because I had not done it the right way, it was about a month before I could stand to have it worked over.
While at the sex store that day I couldn't take my eyes off something called a "Prince Albert". They had a picture of one on display and I knew then and there, that would be my next piercing.
My wife wasn't sure about that one, but said it was my body so do what I needed to do. For the next two months I researched on the internet and by asking questions at the local store. I watched a Gauntlet video. Feeling confident, I decided to self pierce my PA, but do it right this time!
I bought the piercing kit with a 10g needle and purchased a 10g curved
bar bell to insert.
After getting everything sterilized per instructions, I inserted the receiving tube in my urethra and proceeded to pierce through my frenum, but couldn't. I don't know why, but I didn't like that approach. Instead, it made more sense to me to pierce through the urethra and out the frenum. Yes, I'm a control freak and tend to do things MY way.
That worked for me. With a sharp pain, the needle effortlessly slid through the flesh and out the other side. I looked it over as I prepared the jewelry to insert. Following the needle through, the curved barbell slid into place and I screwed the ball on. I had bled about two tablespoons full (I clot very easy).
WOW! I loved the look and feel! My penis was wrapped in layers of gauze and tucked inside my jock strap (I learned this technique from my urologist when he did my vasectomy.
I went to bed and at about 2:00 A.M. woke up with intense pain/pleasure/pressure in my 'down under' regions. As I came to, I remembered what I had done to my friend there and realized he was very hard and needed some relief.
At the toilet, I unwrapped him and when my erection had subsided enough, took my first piss with a PA. I splattered all over the wall and floor. My urine had some dried blood in it, but nothing to worry about. My penis was rewrapped and tucked away till morning.
The next week was great. I loved the sense of something extra being
down there.
My after care went without a hitch (except for day six when I got a little carried away and had my first post pierce orgasm. It worked!
My wife loved it and couldn't wait to...well, I won't go into that. Let's just say she enjoys playing with both my rings. A month later, I stretched it to a 10g 3/4 inch curved barbell and that is where it has stayed.
Last year I added two new piercings: a horizontal (CBR) and vertical (barbell) in my right nip (done the right way). No more needle nose pliers and darning needles for me! This really looks hot!
What's next? Not sure, but the Prince's Wand is something that intrigues me. If any of you have one and want to email with your experience, please do. And if any of you are hesitant about getting your first piercing, don't be. Go for it. You won't regret it.

Film Studies Program
The Film Studies program provides students the opportunity to study the formal components of cinema (e.g. narrative, cinematography, editing, mise-en-scene, and sound) within aesthetic, ethical, cultural, socio-political, and historical contexts. Within these frameworks, study of film enhances not only students' perceptual sensitivity to the cinematic medium but also their analytical sophistication regarding cinema's changing role in the world.
美女视频黄频大全视频_欧美做暖暖视频全集免费_从后面疯狂输出动态图,啪啪直播不充钱Film Studies courses share the following learning goals:
美女视频黄频大全视频_欧美做暖暖视频全集免费_从后面疯狂输出动态图,啪啪直播不充钱To learn about the formal components of cinema (narrative, cinematography,
editing, mise-en-scene, sound)
美女视频黄频大全视频_欧美做暖暖视频全集免费_从后面疯狂输出动态图,啪啪直播不充钱To situate these formal components of cinema within aesthetic, cultural, socio-
political, and historical contexts (in other words, students will be sensitive to how
films and audiences make meanings)
美女视频黄频大全视频_欧美做暖暖视频全集免费_从后面疯狂输出动态图,啪啪直播不充钱To enhance students' perceptual sensitivity to the cinematic medium (such that
students see/hear a film with keener attention)
To increase students' analytical sophistication (in oral and written expression)
regarding cinema's changing role in the world
Students can pursue a minor in Film Studies or can pursue a concentration in Film Studies through the English department, which offers an English-Film major. Interested students are encouraged to contact program chair Dr. Kristi McKim美女视频黄频大全视频_欧美做暖暖视频全集免费_从后面疯狂输出动态图,啪啪直播不充钱 for more information.
In what ways do photographs and films call us
to a qualitative self-examination?
How and why do they spark ontological questions by raising for us
conundrums of being, of our placement with respect to ourselves and the
world? In this manner, revisiting
classical film theory today is also a way of revivifying a kind of questioning
that explores our sensuous contact with images and recharacterizes their
(visible and outward) perceptual density in a way that also leads us inward—a
self-examination of our relation to time, memory, and history. (D.N. Rodowick, The Virtual Life of Film, 75)

Because the Ford C-Max Hybrid was delivered to me just before Thanksgiving, I got to spend 10 days in it, simulating better than most test rides what the ownership experience might be like. Despite some difficulties climbing the tech mountain that is MyFord Touch, the C-Max and I got along very well.
Ford's new hybrid, which offers a combined 47 mpg, is a worthy competitor to the Prius V, a stretched version of the world's gas-electric bestseller. It's slightly cheaper than the V and bests it a bit in fuel economy, though when accessories are ordered and real-world performance measured they probably come out about even. The C-Max is the better-looking car, since the V's stretch upsets the Prius' styling balance.
The $25,995 C-Max (left) is built on the Focus platform, but it's not a subcompact — more of a small utility wagon. It doesn't look like a crossover SUV, but it has some of that popular format's advantages, including great storage. The Europeans get the seven-seat version, and non-hybrid options. For American buyers, the choice is between this hybrid and the forthcoming C-Max Energi, an even more fuel-sipping plug — in hybrid. Chevrolet Volt, look out.
The C-Max is a foot shorter than the Prius V, and I don't think I can stretch out my six-foot frame in the way-back, as I did in the Prius, but there's great rear leg and headroom. I also got three young relatives into the back seat without complaint.
I like the clean techie look of the cabin. Wow, those seat heaters — cranked to five, I was burning my back. This is a commuter special, not a barn burner, and there's a modest 141-horsepower engine under the hood, operating on the fuel-saving Atkinson cycle. The electric motor adds another 44 horsepower. The car can top 60 mph on its relatively small 1.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack, but I didn't experience much zero-emission driving (probably because I had the heater cranked).
I'd like to say that driving the C-Max was a revelation, but instead it was fine and not unlike a Prius, with an 8-second zero-to-60 time. Its quiet and efficient, with almost imperceptible shifts between gas and electric modes. It's a great highway cruiser, though Porsches will soon be distant blips on the horizon. Here's a look at the car on video:
My test car had the options package that included the upmarket Sony version of MyFord Touch, which I find easier to use than the base Ford system. The system is vastly capable — it offers voice-activated navigation and song selection, satellite radio, the ability to play music off hard drives and iPods, as well as Bluetooth connectivity to stream Pandora and other services.
According to Alan Hall, a Ford technology specialist, the C-Max has an embedded cellular modem, but no Internet access as featured in the Audi S8 I recently drove. "There are a lot of advantages to having a connection, but because we want people to use it in a safe way, there are no onboard capabilities that the driver uses," Hall said.
With nine speakers, the system sounds great, but lacking a tutor in using the voice commands (my bad) I found it somewhat distracting to navigate. I know there's a better way to get around than hitting the "Source" button until the CD player or FM band appears, but I'm a novice user.
Unlike other automakers, Ford said no to Siri, but I hope it develops something equally intuitive. I tried out a few tentative voice commands, but the C-Max and I weren't speaking the same language.
It's interesting to note that Ford will unveil a new and improved version of Sync and MyFord Touch in the 2014 Fiesta, with a smaller screen, more natural voice commands and simplified Bluetooth pairing. The company will also make it easier to input a navigation address — a really good fix. Most of those improvements can be downloaded free by owners of older cars.
I would definitely consider a C-Max, but probably the Energi instead of a conventional hybrid. The Energi, on sale this fall in 19 markets, and nationwide early in 2013, adds about $8,000 to the price, but $3,500 of that goes away thanks to a federal income tax credit. The big benefit is 21 miles of all-electric range, more than competitors such as the Prius Plug-In Hybrid. In place of the 47 mpg combined, expect 100 miles per gallon equivalent.
The C-Max appears off to a good start. Ford sold 3,182 of them in the first full month of October, with a quarter going to hybrid-friendly California. The Energi should be even more popular there, because plug-in hybrids can ride single-passenger in the HOV lanes. And another boost: General Electric announced it is buying 2,000 Energis to complement the 12,000 Chevrolet Volts already in its motor pool. The company makes the WattStation charger, so why wouldn't it be plugging in?
