Level 108 is the thirteenth level in Salty Canyon and the tenth timed level. To pass this level, you must score at least 14,000 points within 120 seconds. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated.
- This is one of the easiest levels in the game, and it happens to be in Salty Canyon. However, having a very easy level in this episode is something that is very out of place.
- Most people will find themselves eventually having to wait for time to run out.
- Two minutes is a very long time to get 14,000 points.
- A 9 move candy bomb spawns every other move, and the liquorice locks can make them hard to remove.
- There seems to be glitches that tell you that you have "failed", even though you've reached over 100,000 points.
- 6 colours makes it difficult to create special candies.
- Clear as many candy bombs as possible.
- If you have already reached the target score and there is a candy bomb that is about to explode which you cannot demolish in the next move, just let the time run out to successfully complete the level.
- On Facebook, to prevent the "too high score" glitch, try not to reach 100,000 points. On mobile, you can reach 100,000 points without the glitch.
Getting Three Stars (For Daring Players)Edit
- Difficulty: Very easy
- Six colours make it hard to create special candies. However, this point is less critical due to the low three star target score.
- The player is required to earn at least 280 points per second (32,000 points / 120 seconds = 266.67 points per second).
- Candy bombs spawn from the board after every move. Hence, only 11 bombs are required to be cleared (32,000 points / 3,000 points per candy bomb = 10.67 candy bombs).
- The locked candies can be difficult to clear. However, the limiting factor in this level is on how fast the player can make matches. Hence, they can be cleared in a short period of time under most circumstances.
- 120 seconds is more than enough to earn three stars.
- This is the first timed level with candy bombs. In this level and all subsequent timed levels with color bombs, it is still possible to fail even when the target score is met, because of an exploding bomb. To prevent that, the player must stop making moves when (s)he sees a bomb with 1 move left and can't get rid of it.
- This level is slightly harder than 252 in that the bombs will be a problem for this level.
- This is the only level in this episode in which candy bombs are not seen at the start of the level.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Dozens of students rally outside the Federal Building in Downtown Albany this weekend, sending a message to congress not to take away funding for family planning services.
The House of Representatives passed a bill blocking Title 10 funding. Title 10 is the primary source of funding for Planned Parenthood.
Advocates for keeping the funding say it's not just about the pro life, pro choice debate, but about providing basic medical care to people who might not otherwise be able to get it.
"Three million people come through the doors of Planned Parenthood every year, and a lot of low income people especially used Planned Parenthood primarily for their reproductive health services, so it affects a lot of people across this country," said Sara Musacchia, advocate.
Those in favor of ending Title 10 funding say the government could put that money to better use.
Reproduction in whole or in part without permission is prohibited.

Perfect for allergy sufferers, captures 99.97% of fine dust and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. Homes that use Allergen vacuum bags will notice a drastic reduction of dust in their homes, as well as the fine layer of dust build-up inside the vacuum cleaner, which is caused by poor filtering single ply paper bags. Because these bags are capturing more of the fine dust, and not allowing these damaging particles to pass through the vacuum's motor, this drastically prolongs the life of your vacuum's motor. Also fits Pannasonic Uprights, Riccar & Simplicity Uprights, and more. Fits Parts 50688, 50690, Type O, Type U. Save big on this bulk package of bags over retail price of these package individually.

It's been quite awhile since I have done a roundup of diaper bags, so here are some favorites (for under $200 – some of those above are really great sales, like that Marc Jacobs bag, and the gorgeous hot pink Rebecca Minkoff number!). When choosing a diaper bag, keep these things in mind: (1) Don't skimp on size, (2) compartments are essential, especially to keep bottles or sippy cups upright, and (3) consider the closure and method of wearing. I think it's helpful to have a bag with a couple of options for wearing (i.e. over the shoulder or cross-body)- and stroller clips are an extra bonus! Also, as a note, I bought Chip one of those Fjallraven bags, and he loves it. It's perfect for his laptop for work, and also great when he takes adventures with the girls. He can fit all the necessaries in there without having to carry around a diaper bag – so it's a great daddy gift!!
Sources: (1) Pretty Eliz-a-baby Bag; (2) Messenger Diaper Bag; (3) Fjallraven Kanken Bag; (4) Harper Diaper Bag; (5) Olivia Nylon Bag; (6) French Stripe Duo Bag; (7) Downing Tote (not super great as a diaper bag, but it is handy when you have a toddler and just need snacks and extra clothes); (8) Allure Stripe Bag; (9) Kate Diaper Bag; (10) Lina J Bag; (11) Cinnamon Grand Central Bag; (12) Amanda Zipper Bag
And if you are feeling extra spendy, or want to splurge on someone else, here are some fancier bags (my sister has the Knocked Up bag and is crazy about it! Sources below image.).

Winter Squash Soup with Fried Sage Leaves Reviews
Epicurious | April 2010
reviews & comments (3)
This soup was mediocre. I have this cookbook and it has some great recipes, but this was lacking in flavor and was a horrible dull brown color. Perhaps the key is making it with chicken broth to boost the flavor a bit.
Delicious with the recommended garnish ricotta. I'm not a vegetarian so I cooked the soup with chicken broth. Yummy
I love this cookbook, but this recipe was very mediocre. It smelled great until it was time to add the water, which killed the flavor. If I make it again, I won't add the water towards the end.

Joanna asks Laurel for help in proving that her brother, a fireman who died while responding to a call, was murdered. For the six weeks after Walter went missing, Oliver practically gave up his mission, until Laurel swipes her father�s direct line to him and enlist The Hood�s help with this investigation. Inside a currently burning building, Oliver notices the suspect has a firefly tattoo, meaning he is part of the 15th engine company, several members of which died months ago in the fire of an improperly constructed tower. Laurel narrows down the suspect list to Garfield Lynns, who was believed dead in that fire.Tommy organizes a fundraiser for the fire station that they hold in Oliver�s unfinished nightclub. During the benefit, Lynns causes a fire there, exacting revenge on the fire chief who abandoned him during the tower fire. The Hood tries to reason with Lynns, but Lynns consumes himself in flames.Nick Foster, the C.O.O. of Queen Consolidated, suggests that Moira take over for Walter. Moira initially refuses, but because of Thea�s efforts to knock her out of depression, Moira later accepts. Joanna departs for a leave of absence to comfort her mother. Laurel briefly gives the phone back to Detective Lance, but he allows her to keep it, having set up a way to monitor her calls with The Hood. Oliver hears a newscaster praise The Hood, calling him a hero, and decides to pursue people on the list again.On the island, Oliver fights with one of Fyers� men, then finds a set of keys and a map in the pocket of a vest.

Seems as if you mix up FTPS and SFTP protocols. You tried to login with sftp (which is a ssh based protocol and not a FTP based) into a jailed SSH account. But SFTP is not supported for jails, in a jail you can only login with a terminal client like putty. To transfer files, create a FTP account intstead and use a FTP client.
Please create a FTP account (not SSH account) and login with FTP or if you want a encrypted login use ftps (FTPS is a FTP based ssl login while SFTP what you used is a ssh based protocol for file transfers).
If you want to login by ssh, then use a terminal client like putty.

Free Businesses From Excessive Regulation

Capitol Hill is inching closer to passing landmark regulatory reform that will help encourage investment and create jobs.
The REINS Act would require that Congress review and approve any new regulation expected to cost more than $100 million. In 2010 alone, despite the weak economy, the Obama administration issued 3,752 new rules - and 224 of them cost more than $100 million. The REINS Act would go a long way toward stemming the tide of costly and regressive regulatory policies coming from Washington.
Economic recovery has been anemic this year. The most recent jobs figures from the Department of Labor put the national unemployment rate at 9.2 percent, with 14 million Americans still out of work. A big reason for lagging job creation is the mounting regulatory burden on private enterprise.
Right now, there are roughly 170,000 federal business regulations currently on the books. Written in fine print, single-spaced and double-columned, they fill about 150,000 pages of text. In 2008 alone, regulations cost the U.S. economy $1.75 trillion, according to a report from the Small Business Administration. That's equal to a whopping 14 percent of the nation's gross domestic product.
Add that to the nation's tax burden, and it's easy to see how the federal government is stifling businesses, undermining employment growth and handicapping America's global competitiveness.
Surely, not all of Washington's regulations can be said to improve workplace safety or public health. Unaccountable bureaucrats continue to establish new hurdles for business owners to jump through without regard for the costs imposed. Managers get buried under paperwork that often provides little to no value to their workforces or the public.
Small businesses suffer the most. The average firm with fewer than 20 employees faces regulatory costs 42 percent higher than businesses with up to 500 employees. The average regulatory compliance costs for each employee of a small business now exceed $10,000 per year, according to the SBA report.
Small companies tend to run on very thin profit margins. So even small upticks in operating costs can force them to take drastic measures, like reducing new hires, imposing layoffs or even declaring bankruptcy.
In my experience as the principal of a technology consulting firm, compliance with the standard battery of employment and tax rules at all levels of government easily consumes 20 percent of my time in any given year.
Many of our clients are small to midsize business in heavily regulated industries like health care and finance. In these industries, regulatory challenges are among the most often-cited factors in investment and procurement decisions.
The global marketplace is already turbulent and hyper-competitive. Business owners shouldn't have to worry about their decisions running afoul of needless regulations.
Without congressional action, these regulations show no sign of letting up.
The president's health care law contains roughly 100 new regulatory provisions. The 2010 financial reform law imposes nearly 500 new rules and more than 120 reports and studies. And the Environmental Protection Agency is pursuing 31 new rules that will each cost industry at least $100 million.
This out-of-control rulemaking has to stop. Federal officials are severely hampering the private-sector dynamism proven to generate prosperity and economic opportunity. That's why, even if the REINS Act passes, lawmakers must launch a broader effort to scale back unnecessary rules on industry.
To start, officials need to establish nonpartisan, independent review processes to examine new and existing regulations and determine their actual costs and benefits. Currently, agencies can often impose new rules on industry without ever having to justify them or examine their economic consequences.
Some economic sectors are now suffocating under layers of redundant regulation, as separate rule making authorities have each imposed the same restrictions without checking first to see if similar statutes already existed. This confusion and regulatory overlap contributes to the uncertainty dampening investment and employment.
The American economy is an intensely complicated place. A cursory understanding of a given industry often isn't enough to effectively regulate it. Worse still, when regulatory actions are driven by political concerns, there tend to be significant economic costs.
Finally, officials need to reform the permitting process to allow new businesses to quickly get through the paperwork and start growing. Too often, valuable new business ideas die off while stuck in the approval process.
Today, government micromanagement is smothering private business and slowing recovery. Unless Congress steps in to cut down on the regulatory thicket, the economy will continue to stagnate and could fall back into recession. Policymakers need to reform the nation's regulatory system - fast.

If employment and tax regulations consume 20% of your time you are not a very effective leader, or you dont really have very much to do with the other 80% of your time.
Your firm ought to rethink your role in the organization. Most firms figure out a way to handle payroll taxes and employment compliance with minimal intervention needed by "principles"
We pay a bookkeeper $15 an hour to come by every now and again, she gets it straight while we go about our core business. You just might stink at your job.

what is wrong with America today
CBS Releases Unaired Footage Of Obama Refusing To Call Benghazi A Terror Attack
The above video is from a September 12 interview "60 Minutes" did with President Obama in the wake of the terror attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. CBS decided against airing this segment in their original broadcast but released it on Sunday night, just two days before the election.
In the interview, Obama would not clearly say whether he thought the attack was terrorism. Transcript below.
KROFT: Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word terrorism in connection with the Libya Attack, do you believe that this was a terrorism attack?
OBAMA: Well it's too early to tell exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans. And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.
KROFT: It's been described as a mob action, but there are reports that they were very heavily armed with grenades, that doesn't sound like your normal demonstration.
OBAMA: As I said, we're still investigating exactly what happened, I don't want to jump the gun on this. But your right that this is not a situation that was exactly the same as what happened in Egypt. And my suspicion is there are folks involved in this. Who were looking to target Americans from the start. So we're gonna make sure that our first priority is to get our folks out safe, make sure our embassies are secured around the world and then we are going to go after those folks who carried this out.
KROFT: There have been reports, obviously this isn't the first time…there have been attacks on the consulate before. There was an attack against the British ambassador. Do you…this occurred on Sept. 11. Can you tell me why the ambassador was in Benghazi yesterday? Was it to evaluate security at the consulate?
OBAMA: Well keep in mind Chris Stevens is somebody that was one of the first Americans on the ground when we were in the process of saving Benghazi and providing the opportunity for Libyans to create their own democracy. So this is somebody who had been courageous, had been on the ground, had helped to advise me and Secretary Clinton when we were taking our actions against Muammar Qaddafi. And is somebody who is very familiar with the train. He was doing the work that he does as a diplomat helping to shape our policies in the region at a time when things are still fairly fragile. But I think it's important to note that we have a Libyan government in place that is fully cooperative, that sees the United States as a friend that recognizes we played an important role in liberating Libya and providing the Libyan people an opportunity to forge their own destiny. And in fact we had Libyans who helped protect our diplomats when they were under attack. But this is a country that is still rebuilding in the aftermath of Qaddafi. They don't necessarily always have the same capabilities that countries with more established governments might have in helping to provide protection to our folks. But beyond that, what I want to do is make sure that we know exactly what happened, how it happened, who perpetrated this action, then we'll act accordingly.
Bill Spetrino on Jordan Goodman show
Barack Obama killed 2200 dealerships and 120,000 of jobs
This (Obama's) Auto Team… didn't have a single person on it who had any auto experience… We asked Ron Bloom, the head of (Obama's) Auto Team, was this (dealership closures) necessary… and he acknowledged that this… wasn't necessary."
Obama Didn't Save the Auto Industry: He Took Away 2,200 Dealerships and 120,000 Jobs
"GM and Chrysler significantly accelerated their dealership termination timetables, with Chrysler terminating 789 dealerships by June 10, 2009, and GM announcing plans to wind down 1,454 dealerships by October 2010."
"(Obama) Auto Team's view about the need for GM and Chrysler to reduce their dealership networks and do so rapidly was based on a theory that, with fewer dealerships (and thus less internecine competition), like their smaller networked foreign competitors, the remaining dealerships would be more profitable and thus would permit the dealerships to invest more in their facilities and staff."
"one expert opined that closing dealerships in an environment already disrupted by the recession could result in an even greater crisis in sales… job losses at terminated dealerships were apparently not a substantial factor in the (Obama) Auto Team's consideration of the dealership termination issue."
" it is clear that tens of thousands of dealership jobs were immediately put in jeopardy as a result of the terminations by GM and Chrysler. Finally, the acceleration of dealership closings was not done with any explicit cost savings to the manufacturers in mind."
"Treasury should have taken special care given that the (Obama) Auto Team's determinations had the potential to contribute to job losses, particularly given that one goal of the loan agreements was to "preserve and promote jobs of American workers employed directly by the automakers and subsidiaries and in related industries."
"This audit concludes that… (Obama) Treasury (a) should have taken every reasonable step to ensure that accelerating the dealership terminations was truly necessary… (b) should have at least considered whether the benefits to the companies from the accelerated terminations outweighed the costs to the economy that would result from potentially tens of thousands of accelerated job losses."
The folks at Delphi who had the pensions eliminated aren't happy either
This man was HIRED by the Obama administration
This is NO right wing ZEALOT

5 reasons we cant afford Obama
Does he deserve 4 more years?
Spetrino Polling Battleground States October 20
In the battleground state of Iowa Barack Obama holds a lead of 47.66 to 46.77 with 5.57 still either 3rd party or can change their mind
In New Hampshire President Obama leads 49.7- 47.6 with 2.7 still apt to decide
In the battleground state of OHIO in the first post debate poll Mitt Romney has moved out to 46.49 -43.08 lead with a whopping 10.43 percent of the voters still "deciding" or voting 3rd party
This is Mr Romney's largest lead in Ohio since we started polling
Mr Romney has opened up a huge lead with Independents and is only down 3% with women which is much better than expected
What did he know and when did they know it?
Obama debate misinformation
This is about about Obama 's lies and debate misstatements.
There is so many of them I would need 8 or 9 columns to name them all from the 2 Presidential debates.
It is no wonder that in the latest Gallup Poll of likely voters, Romney is now ahead by 7 percent ,after being down before the first debate 2 weeks ago.
Today in the day of the internet there are fact checkers Although many people do not care to do their homework, there are plenty of folks like me who do it, and also write in a column for tens of thousands to read.
I will try and focus on the most glaring and imbecilic.
1)Why wouldn't we eliminate tax breaks for corporate jets? My attitude is if you got a corporate jet, you can probably afford to pay full freight, not get a special break for it.
The president and his handlers don,t understand there is NO special deduction for private jets ,just like their is no special deduction for moving a business overseas.
I am an accountant married to a CPA , but in fact I knew all this as a first year accounting student.
Someone please tell the President and his"handlers" that flying commercial or on a private jet is the SAME travel expense. It is deductible by law for EVERY American both rich and old.No matter where you travel to.
There is No SPECIAL private jet deduction or moving businesses overseas DEDUCTION.
The president repeated the moving business overseas deduction again in the 2nd debate.
Please send him a copy of this, it is obvious no one in his inner circle has told him this or perhaps he hasn't chosen to listen.
The other night,Mr Obama again said " We have increased oil production to the highest levels in 16 years".
This is REALLY a whopper.
First of all, Obama's idea of "we", somehow tries to take credit that the administration tries to somehow say they are responsible for this increase. That is simply NOT true. In fact most of the increases have occurred due to drilling on private land not government land.
According to Energy Information Administration, in fiscal year 2011, production on federal lands dropped 13 percent from fiscal year 2010 levels, led by a drop in federal offshore production of 17 percent. It was obviously private lands that fueled the increase so saying"we" is not only disingenuous its an out and out lie.
Second of all according to the EIA which is a government agency, oil production in 2011 is much less than it was ever in the 1990s. So his statement is not only disingenuous but blatantly false.
I mean do you blame the advisers or the President himself? I cant speak for him but before I say anything I fact check it first to even a simple client .To lie like this in front of 70 million people is inexcusable and is a severe character flaw.
Then he told Romney in the debate that Romney was lying about this.
NO Mr President and his gullible followers,YOU ARE LYING.
Obama continued by saying Is it fair for somebody like you, making $20 million a year, to pay a lower tax rate than a nurse or a bus driver, somebody making $50,000 year? And he claims ( Romney) said, "Yes, I think that's fair."
The fact is Romney pays a higher rate on his dividend income than the bus driver who made 50,000 a year would pay on THEIR dividend income
The bus driver who had dividend income of under 35,000 dollars would pay a much lower tax rate and at worst would pay the EXACT rate than Mr Romney
There is NO special tax rate for upper income earners,in fact the bus drivers dividend income would be taxed at a MUCH lower rate than Mr Romney's in all probability
What Romney actually said was "I think it's the right way to encourage economic growth – to get people to invest, to start businesses, to put people to work
And one of the reasons why the capital gains tax rate is lower is because capital has already been taxed once at the corporate level, as high as 35 percent."
If Mitt Romney got paid a salary he would be taxed on that money as earned income at federal rate of 35 percent not 14%
Mr Romney pays a whopping 58% of his income in taxes and CHARITY and only keeps 42% for he and his family.
So it is very MISLEADING to imply that Mr Romney is somehow GREEDY
Mr Biden and Mr Obama who are very generous with other people's money but apparently NOT their own.Both have had year where they gave less than 1% in charity while having incomes over 250,000 dollars.
So who really isn't paying their fair share now?
Now either 1) Barack Obama knows that and is being dishonest with the American people. Or its possible he doesn't know this .I suggest hiring someone like me that knows this or to spend time learning the tax code .Just think of how many hours it took to play over a hundred rounds of golf and attending a couple hundred fundraisers in the past 4 years.
Imagine if that time was instead was spent consulting with actual job creators and those who are economically educated.
What do you think is Mr Obama just comfortable reporting things he knows are lies ? Or is he a type of person who is economically illiterate and really doesn't know how asinine and inaccurate what he is saying really is.
Maybe someone in the media will ask him or his supporters this?
Of course he won't take any press conferences.
But he will interview with Pimp the LIMP and LIMP Wristed Adulterer Dave Letterman, the bastions of morality and intelligence
4 more years??? Get real

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Police were investigating whether drugs had a role in the death Thursday of Oklahoma senior linebacker Austin Box, and a witness told authorities he believed his friend had overdosed.
Authorities didn't immediately release an official cause of death, and Box's body was sent to the state Medical Examiner's office. Box was 22.
"We're all shocked and heartbroken," Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. "Austin was a great young man, a great young man to coach, and a great teammate."
Stoops' defensive coordinator, Brent Venables, fought back tears and said he ...

omg that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo nie...sort of lol
To a child their world is their mother. Criticism wanted.
Soft humming from a mother rocking her baby.
Eyes canvassing a barren land.
Searching the dried plain,
Seeking reassurance.
A heart aching for a place to belong.
Her eyes look down to glance upon,
The life in her arms.
A drop of hope filled with sorrow,
Lands upon an innocent cheek.
Innocent eyes look up from their cradle of flesh,
To behold the world.

Biker clocked going 170 mph on upstate NY highway
Associated PressAssociated Press 50 mins ago
RAVENA, N.Y. (AP) Authorities say a 25-year-old upstate New York man has been arrested after troopers clocked him driving his motorcycle at 170 mph on the Thruway....
This dude has big cajones and a very tiny mind.
--Steppenwolf, "Born to Be Wild"I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
And he never gives a thought about what would be left of him for his family to "pick up" after he crashes while he's doing 180 mph
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.
Would probably have to use a high pressure air hose, like those used during WWII to clear the ball turret after the gunner there met a messy ending, as he inevitably would sooner or later.

The ping g25 hybrid reverts to a more wood style head and looks spookily similar to the Ping Anser hybrid, Mizuno MP-68 Irons which is not a bad thing.Like the Anser, the G25 hybrid features a generous face that is a little more square in shape to widen the hitting area in the heel and toe.

We all know someone who's lied about how old they are, especially on the Internet. But a 104-year-old woman in Michigan didn't want to lie about her age on Facebook — except that a bug on the website forced her for a while.
While Marguerite Joseph, is legally blind and hard of hearing, her granddaughter has been maintaining her profile for her and helping her to write posts and respond to messages.
"All of our family members always asked how grandma was doing on my Facebook page," Gail Marlow, her granddaughter, told WDIV in Detroit. "So I decided I would set up a page of her own so she could stay connected to her family in Canada."
Joseph was 102 years old when she first registered for Facebook, but Marlow said she could never get her grandmother's profile page to show an age older than 99. No matter how many times they attempted to update her birth year to 1908, the website would show an "unknown error" had occurred and default to 1928.
"We've recently discovered an issue whereby some Facebook users may be unable to enter a birthday before 1910," Facebook said in a statement provided to ABC News. "We are working on a fix for this and we apologize for the inconvenience."
When reached for additional comment, a spokesperson for Facebook told ABC News that Joseph's profile age has since been corrected. Messages left by ABC News for Joseph's family were not immediately returned.
The spokesperson for Facebook was also asked about a story ABC News reported last year about Maria "Mary" Colunia Segura-Metzgar's claim as the "Oldest Facebook User" in the world. The software problem that Joseph's family encountered may affect other centenarians, but we were able to confirm that Segura-Metzgar, who lives in New Mexico, now has a corrected profile to show she is 105, just a bit older than Marguerite Joseph.

About GPS Cycle Computers
GPS receivers are now made waterproof, lightweight and small enough to fit on a bike easily. There are 2 basic choices to take on your bike: a GPS unit designed primarily for navigation with a dedicated bike mount, particularly suitable for cycle touring and finding your way in unfamiliar territory, like the Garmin eTrex Vista Cx; or a dedicated bike computer that uses GPS to track your training routes and provide detailed analysis of your workout like the Edge 305, with more limited navigation capabilities. Most units come with only very basic maps installed and you may need to purchase more detailed maps for your area to be loaded onto the unit for navigation.
All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.

Product Q & A
Ask your questions and share your answers.
Why have a separate speed sensor?
Saying that, the Garmin also uses it should GPS loose signal and allows it to smooth out the spikes in the GPS data.
You don't need to use it if you don't want to.
Some interesting analysis on the difference between GPS and speed sensor distance measurements:
Heart rate monitor
Many thanks.
heart rate monitor plus strap
1 speed sensor hub mounted
1 cadence sensor
normal bar mount
out front mount
and other bits and bobs
The good news with OSM is that you can update them at anytime, by downloading them and putting them on a microSD card, which will fit in this device.
They also support turn by turn directions.
Heart Rate Monitor
The RRP indicates that it does. However, in the body of your description it states 'Heart Rate Monitor not included'! So which is correct, does it come with one or not?
I know the question is exactly the same as one already posted but I'd like an official answer from a Wiggle representative due to the conflicting elements.
only problem is putting it somewhere, e.g arm band etc :) hope this helps.
Map's for touring the channel islands?
Does the Garmin Edge 1000: 1) allow you to have more than one bike profile; 2) allow you to use one head unit and multiple sensors on different bikes?
If the Garmin 1000 doesn't come with a HRM (according to its product description) then would my Wahoo Bluetooth HRM be compatible with it?
1000 vs 800

Russia's government is ready to lend Cyprus more money but the government in Nicosia hasn't officially submitted a request, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak said.
Finance Minister Vassos Shiarly said June 19 in Nicosia that the Cypriot government is pursuing a loan from Russia to improve its bargaining position in case it has to turn to its euro-area partners for emergency aid. The country may need as much as 6 billion euros ($7.6 billion) to prop up its banks.
"Cyprus hasn't applied yet, there are no official papers," Storchak told reporters on an airplane flying back from Los Cabos, Mexico, where he was part of President Vladimir Putin's delegation at a Group of 20 meeting. Russia loaned Cyprus 2.5 billion euros last year, Storchak said.
Cyprus, which joined the EU in 2004, would be the fifth euro nation to seek a bailout, buffeted by the single-currency bloc's debt crisis, now in its third year. More than 386 billion euros in loans have been pledged to Greece, Ireland and Portugal. On June 9, Spain requested as much as 100 billion euros to support its banks. Cyprus has been shut out of markets for more than a year.
The Cypriot newspaper Alithia reported on June 12 that Cyprus was asking Russia for 5 billion euros. The Politis daily said three days later that Cypriot President Demetris Christofias was leading the loan talks.

pretty sure that's a cup size. and the bartender must be a Gaaaayyyy dude all of a sudden
Sometime the hottest chick in the bar is the one wearing a bra, and a sexy ensemble, that fits in all of the right places.
or the one with the most symmetrical face, best proportioned body, with a little extra in the chest and in the ass. also healthy hair matters. this is scientific fact and what men consider attractive.
DDs as in designated drivers or as in 44 DDs?
Maybe the person isn't getting served because they're the DD
Their loss..
It was definitely DD's as in bra size

Missing the sun? Prof says it's a bright idea to think about Vitamin D
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The gray winter skies are a reminder that people should consider supplementing Vitamin D levels to ensure they maintain strong bones, says a Purdue University nutrition expert.
"Those who live in Indiana and other Midwest communities should be seasonally supplementing," says James Fleet, distinguished professor of nutrition science, who studies how Vitamin D controls calcium. "That's not a surprise to most people. But, people also need to consider supplementing year round if they follow sun safety practices, have darker skin tones or are older."
Sunlight can simulate Vitamin D production, but skin cancer concerns have many people staying out of the sun or blocking the sun's rays. As a result, people are not getting adequate Vitamin D, also known as cholecalciferol, during sunny weather, Fleet says.
"If you are avoiding sunlight or apply sunscreen regularly, you should worry about Vitamin D to protect your bone health," Fleet says.
And as people age, they lose the ability to make vitamin D in the skin.
"At the same time, older adults' bones are becoming weaker, especially for postmenopausal women, so it is critical that vitamin D is consumed adequately to preserve bone health," Fleet says.
In 2010 the federal Vitamin D recommendations were updated, and the recommended vitamin D intakes for individuals are measured in international units, abbreviated as IU:
* Children, birth to age 13 at 400 international units
* Teens and adults, ages 14 to 70 at 600 international units
* Adults 71 years and older at 800 international units
Purdue Extension online information, Vitamin D: What You Need to Know, also has information about foods that provide Vitamin D and the highest recommended amounts for safety.

.- Archbishop Jose Maria Arancibia of Mendoza, Argentina, has published a statement clarifying the official position of the Archdiocese regarding "supposed supernatural" events that would include "private revelations" of the Virgin Mary in the town of El Algarrobal.
In the statement, the Archbishop prohibited liturgical celebrations from taking place in the area of the supposed apparitions, but he said he "will continue to accompany" the parties involved and "those who go there in a sincere expression of faith."
He underscored that "the pastoral response in theses cases is neither to condemn nor approve, but rather to listen, accompany and counsel."
Archbishop Arancibia recalled that since 2000 the Archdiocese has been attending to the persons involved in the alleged apparitions, "in order to discern their authenticity, following the criteria and tradition of the Catholic Church in these matters."
Lastly, he recalled that the constant teaching of the Church is that "extraordinary experiences of grace should not be prioritized to such a degree that we lose sight of the fundamental importance of holiness in ordinary life."
"In no way can private revelations or personal experiences be placed above the living Word of God and the faith of the Church in Jesus Christ. Whoever wishes to live the faith intensely can find everything they need in the Word and in the sacraments."
