Straps & Clips?
What kind of pedals do you use?
you should add "platform" to your poll choices

Back on the bike!!
Two-sided clipless on the commuter and Look pedals on the weekend bike.
When I first started riding with toe clips and straps (in the mid-80s) I pulled up to a stop sign and had the straps too tight (I tightened them while riding). Couldn't get either foot free. You can guess what happened.
Naturally there were a few cars behind me. Seems that is always the case. I didn't bother to see who was laughing. Just got up and took off.
I used to not even count as miles ridden if I went out on my bike without clipless.. Just not a serious ride.( in my log) Can't put maxamimum amount of energy into it.. That is me..
My wife's bike, I use ocassionally for around town errands.. A hybrid... Used to have straps.. I hated those... Feel more restrained than Look pedals.. Plus I feel the pressure from straps atop shoes...
So I put "Power Grips' on her bike... I like those.. Pretty easy to get out.. Not as easy as looks, however- I feel... But I like the way they feel and have some sensation of ' pulling up' on the upstoke... If you do not like clipless, I would recommend Power Grips... When on the bike with Power grips and now log those miles...
The two bikes that I ride most frequently have SPD-R pedals fitted. I have two more bikes in the USA, one of which has old flat pedals, the other clips and straps.
Now that I'm used to clipless, I have to think when riding flat pedals otherwise I try to lift when climbing or accelerating...
Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live.
What prompted the question? I can't believe anybody rides with straps and clips (I'm talking the little cleat that fastens on the back of the pedal) in this day and age. Not even the hard-core retro-dudes. They were a nightmare... no float, hard to get out of (you had to reach down and release the strap), the straps would put your feet to sleep, the list goes on and on.
I was thinking toe-clips (a plastic whatsitz bolted to the pedal that is strapped to your foot with a nylon or leather strap).
I find these very convienient for winter riding because they offer you the choice of a wider variety of footware. They also work very well no matter how much mud, slush, or gunk they accumulate.
They are also good for utility rides, where you are on and off the bike alot. Dedicated cycling shoes are not so good as general purpose footwear.
Last (and least) they provide me a way to get a little more use out of my running shoes when the cushioning is shot and they can't be used for running anymore.
There is nothing homlier than the face on your last dime.

As an old fart I didn't move to clipless until four years ago. Cannot believe I waited so long. My brain was obviously stuck somewhere in the past on this one. There is no comparison. Even for recreational riding.
Have to laugh at myself as I think about my first group ride in clipless. Rode up to a small group in front of me that had stopped to help a fellow rider who had a mechanical problem. Was to intent on same that I forgot that I was in clipless and stopped before stepping out. And fell into the group of them. A real "clipless moment".
I rode with DA SPDs for these past four years. Just up-graded to Campy Record this year and is a nicer pedal with a larger platform.

I ride clipless on the road. I ride clips and straps on the track. They're safer to ride to avoid pulling out. If you pull out on the track, you're done.

I was in the same mindset as Paramountscapin. 3 years ago I went clipless and only look back occassionally. I started with the Wellgo cheapie SPD's and figured that they would only last 6 months, but that would be long enough to determine if they were for me. I couldn't wear them out and enjoyed their service. 2 months ago I went to the new DA pedals. I liked them so much (wider platform, secure feeling, light, smooth) that I just put the Ultegra version on my old CAAD3.
Every so often, I jump on the 80's Trek 1420 and use the old track toe clips. They are okay, but once again, what kept me?
New ride came with toe clips...they don't agree with me, changing to clipless.
I use good ol' LOOKS.
Hello moto
I still use toe clips and straps. I can use normal shoes for riding around town, waterproof shoes and boots for winter riding.
I never tighten the straps, if you feel the need for that kind of efficiency, you should be using clipless. Loose straps still give a lot of advantages over plain platform, in terms of keeping your feet safely on the pedal and in pedalling efficiency. I can twist my feet around for "float", and release my feet at a moments notice. Several times I have slid off, and managed to get my feet out during the slide (on ice,muddy 4x4 ruts etc).
You have to chose your footware with care. No-one uses the old-fashioned slotted cleat to keep your foot firmly on the pedal, but most leisure cycling shoes have horizontal ridges which hook onto the pedal cage. These are bad news, since they stop any float and prevent a swift exit.
Using straps and clips for now. Want to try clipless this year. Hope I get the $$ I need ! Did I mention that I want a bike to go with the new pedals?
Back in the old days (i.e., pre-1980), toe-clips and straps were the recommended type of pedal accessory. The advantage was that your foot fit into the pedal at the right spot. Without the clip, there was a tendancy to hook the forward part of your shoe against the back of the pedal so that your foot was too far forward.
Toe-clips and straps were used on many "race bikes" in the '60s, but not for the average cyclist. Many people felt trapped by the tight straps and just used the clips without the straps. However, the advertising etc. recommended the use of both to increase power by 10% from the foot that pulled up (as well as consistent foot placement on the pedal).
It was usually recommended to leave the strap loose while riding in the city, but out in the country (i.e., open road) you reach down and pull on the strap to snug in the foot. As you approach the city again, you would reach down and loosen the strap so you could easily remove your foot when you had to stop. It just took a little forethought. Personally, I never really had a problem in securing or unsecuring the strap.
I recently (Nov. 2/02) rode 200 km in -12C temp with clips and straps with no problems. However, I was urged to switch to spd clipless for the coming year. My new Trek has clipless pedals. So I bought some new shoes and a set of clipless which I have mounted on the bike attached to my wind trainer. I wanted to practice with them before I hit the road (so I don't actually HIT the road!).
I like the clipless because my cadence has increased by about 20%. I hope that equates to a good improvement on the road.

Egg beaters are your friend. Well, they're my friend at least.
I used to ride with clips and straps. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. The things are single-sided, toe-first entry-only, no-float, required after-engagement (if you can call it that) adjustment, either cut off circulation to be useful or allowed you to pull out too easily if left loose, hard to get out of... I could go on. It was like the worst of all worlds. Did I mention that I ran these things on my only bike... a mountain bike with rat-trap cage pedals... used for mountain biking? Like I said... I don't know what the hell I was thinking. PowerStraps were around for a bit during that time and in hidnsight, I should have used them instead. I switched to SPDs the year they first came out. I now ride with Time ATACs on my MTB (sometimes switching to platforms for certain types of riding) and Speedplay Zeros on my RB.
I'm amused that some bikes (typically in the mid-range) still come with clips and straps. I guess, manufacturers feel they make them look more serious. Personally, I would rather see the bike sold with platforms or cheap SPD-clones (these can't be that much more expensive than cage pedals with clips and straps can they?). If you want the bike to appeal to the more serious rider then I'd suggest selling it without pedals and knocking that bit off the price as clipless pedal preference is generally a personal thing since it sometimes involves shoe-selection too.
I have eggbeaters coming in the mail right now. My first venture into the world of clipless did not fair to well or last that long. I just bought the cheapest pair from nashbar and beat the crap out of them. Even with the lowest end stuff clipless is the best upgrade for any bike. Now I can't ride with out them.
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Toe-clip and strap.
I don't want to shop for yet another pair of shoes and I don't want to carry a pair of normal shoes wether I'm going to work or hiking when on tour. The straps are fairly loose so I've never had problems getting my feet out.

The problem with this advice, as Trevor Snowden discovered, it that using a shotgun in that manner is illegal.
this goes right along with Biden's suggestion that homeowners randomly fire shotguns into the air to scare off intruders--after all, that is what he tells his wife to do if she hears someone outside when he's not home. Yet firing guns into the air within city limits is illegal as well.

During the past few days and weeks, VP Joe Biden has been passing out advice on how to use a shotgun--the problem is, much of what he has advised is against the law.
Virginia Beach resident Trevor Snowden found this out the hard way when he fired "a shotgun through the door" and faced charges for "reckless handling of a firearm."
The 22-year old Snowden fired through a door after seeing two masked men by a window of his residence.
It was during an interview with Field & Stream that Biden said one of the pluses of using a shotgun for home defense over an AR-15 is that you can "just fire the shotgun through the door" to keep people away from your house.

The Constitution was written by a moral people for a moral country..as the morals of the country are declining, the numbers of people that think the Constitution is an out dated un important document has been increasing. It is the right and responsibility of moral people to speak up, by force of arms if needed at some point to keep the rights of all Americans in tact.This includes citizens who are in law enforcement and in the military.With no Constitution and no right to bear arms for all free men, there is no USA. There will only be another country that may claim to be the USA.

A Semi-automatic shotgun is considered by most knowledgeable gun experts the most effective home defense weapon you can own.
But of course Colorado will try to ban them and soon the rest of the anti-gunners will get on the bandwagon.
Is a semi auto shotgun a military assault weapon?

Poor Wienerdawgs are CLUELESS:
"DENVER (CBS4) – A popular hunting shotgun could be banned under one of the bills moving through the state Capitol.
A pump or semi-automatic shotgun is the gun most hunters in Colorado use. It's a gun state Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, says could be banned under a bill that's already passed the House and Gov. John Hickenlooper says he'll sign.
"They're coming after the standard shotgun," Brophy told CBS4 Political Specialist Shaun Boyd. Brophy says if Democrats succeed in passing a bill limiting large capacity magazines in Colorado, they'll outlaw the most popular selling firearm for hunting. "Hundreds of thousands of pheasant hunters are probably going to be carrying around a gun they won't be able to replace after July 1 this year," he said.

"The simple truth -- born of experience -- is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people. Our own sorry history bears this out: Disarmament was the tool of choice for subjugating both slaves and free blacks in the South. In Florida, patrols searched blacks' homes for weapons, confiscated those found and punished their owners without judicial process. In the North, by contrast, blacks exercised their right to bear arms to defend against racial mob violence. As Chief Justice Taney well appreciated, the institution of slavery required a class of people who lacked the means to resist. See Dred Scott v. Sandford, (1857) (finding black citizenship unthinkable because it would give blacks the right to "keep and carry arms wherever they went"). A revolt by Nat Turner and a few dozen other armed blacks could be put down without much difficulty; one by four million armed blacks would have meant big trouble."All too many of the other

At last! Some common sense perspectives from both sides of the aisle. As I posted elsewhere, no one it going to take your guns. There won't be federal gestapo agents breaking down your door to take away your guns. The most likely outcome will be greater background checks and the banning of high capacity clips from semiautomatic weapons. It's time to tone down the paranoia and conspiracy theories.

Nice layout and Corals\!!

Edited by cichlid, 18 December 2010 - 11:29 AM.
This is a really great looking tank, congrats. Would you mind to share what brand of salt you are using?
Is your Nano a JBJ with the new LED lighting? Also what type of Ca and Alkal test do you reccommend?
With regards to Supplements would you mind sharing which ones you use and your regiment?
Also....Happy Holidays!
congratulation for the tank!
I have a question: The anemone doesn't walk across, the corals in the tank? You are not afraid of him, that the anemone passes through the corals?
I don't understand how you mix your water. Is the premixed water saltwater from the LFS? Do you then add more salt to it? Any clarification is greatly appreciated!!
Instant ocean added to premixed which I buy from my lfs
My tank is not LED, I run T5 lighting.
I use Salifert test kits
If you read the profile I talk in detail about my dozing regiment.
No major issues. I had a spot when I put him in the tank and he has stayed put.
I don't understand how you mix your water. Is the premixed water saltwater from the LFS? Do you then add more salt to it? Any clarification is greatly appreciated!!
It does. Thanks.
I buy water from my LFS which is premixed to 1.023. I then add additional salt to raise the salinity to 1.025.
Hope this helps clarify.
Nice tank! I am in the planning stages right now with my 28 gallon nano I purchased last week. I plan to "diagram" the way I want my live rock to look, and make that purchase this weekend. I was glad to have stumbled on this site, and especially happy to see your tank as it is the same size as mine.
I do two questions about the lighting upgrade you did. My tank came with the 150 Watt HQI - 14K lights.
You said you upgraded to the T5 Nova Extreme Pro lights. When I looked those up, it seems they come on a unit that forces you to get rid of the hood. However, in your pictures it looks like you kept the hood. Did you just retrofit that somehow?
Also (and a total newbie question), the T5 lights are 108 watts and 10k. That is less power than mine, so I am assuming your lights were not the same as what I got on my cube? Possibly they changed the light offering on the 28g after you bought it? I Know you said you did it so you did not have to add a chiller, and living in St. Louis I might have to look at that option in the summer.

Luca and (gulp) Bernie are absolutely right. 1.4l turbocharged, 4 cylinder, 12k rpm limit, and max of 4 engines in a year is ridiculous. Attempts at controlling costs to keep the grid full is great -- so stop changing the engine rules every other year! The WMSC should focus elswhere (eg, aerodynamics) to induce better racing, not weaken the series with silly engine restrictions. Let's stop the charade of trying to be "green" and get back to racing. F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of racing isn't it?

Carey Mulligan Cast In Coens Brothers' Latest, Circling New Spike Jonze
By Sean O'Connell 2011-10-20 20:04:54 comments
Carey Mulligans riding one of the hottest streaks weve seen in some time. She regularly works with challenging directors, from Oliver Stone (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) to Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go). This year, shes co-starring in two instant classics in Drive and Shame. And shes currently hard at work on Baz Luhrmanns The Great Gatsby opposite Leonard DiCaprio.
But dont think Mulligans content to rest on her laurels. Variety reports that the actress has secured two high-profile gigs that would make any talent salivate. The fact that she's in both almost isnt fair. According to the trade, Mulligan will be the female lead in Joel and Ethan Coens folk-music drama Inside Llewyn Davis. Following that, shell appear in an as-yet-untitled feature to be directed by Spike Jonze.
Both projects sound great. The Coens already have cast Oscar Isaac as a musician breaking into New Yorks scene in the 1960s. As the trade notes, if Mulligan needs to sing, Shame proves the actress has the pipes. As for Jonzes feature, it reportedly reunites him with screenwriter Charlie Kaufmann (Adaptation) for a film about global leaders having to meet to discuss what Variety calls cataclysmic events. Joaquin Phoenix has already been cast in the picture, which would begin shooting next spring.
About the only other actress touching Mulligans streak right now is Anne Hathaway, who also continues to add one major project after the next. Actors rarely go wrong collaborating with storytellers like the Coens and Jonze, and were happy that a legitimate talent like Mulligan is getting these outstanding chances to flex her muscle and make what we hope are great films.

The Surgery
December 1, 2011 § 3 Comments
The signs were such that a deaf, blind and dumb man could have seen them. Great billowing red and black clouds boiled and rolled over the tops of trees and oozed between elderly trunks. The smell of burning rubber and flesh was heavy, a floating devil released from the overtaxed bowels of the earth.
Johanna fell once, twice, and a third time. She could see Stuart caught under a shape-shifting black ball that burned loud and orange on his leg. The third time she fell, she started to commando crawl and it worked marvelously.
She reached Stuart and shook him. She called his name. No response. She rotated her body so her feet were facing the flame ball eating Stuart. She brought her knees to her chest then kicked with all her might.
The black stink ball seemed to roar, infuriated. It bounced away and landed at the bottom of a cluster of rocks towards the tree line. Johanna felt her heart pick up speed. She hadn't thought of the trees catching fire. How would they escape?
Stuart moaned and it brought Johanna back to the present moment. She inspected his leg which resembled a rack of lamb, charred and lumpy. She told him he needed to wake up. He didn't respond. She yelled in his ear and his eyes blinked up.
"Get the fuck up." She stared right into his eyes, which grew wide in response to her words. He nodded, pulled himself to sitting, and then broke out in rib racking cough. Johanna felt her patience draining, her anxiety growing. She barked at him that she would be right back.
Instantly she was up on her feet and running. She had to weave around chunks of anonymous debris, some of which she knew had to be people. The clearing was oddly silent, only crackling and the occasional fire scream.
On reaching the northern tree line, she was greeted with green, no smoke, no visible fire. Instantly Johanna crossed herself and said a quick prayer. She turned on her heel and ran back to Stuart.
Stuart had managed to pull himself up to standing. He was turned away slightly, looking west. He seemed to have the hiccups, but when she arrived next to him she saw he was actually sobbing. She pointed north, away from the fire. He shook his head no then pointed west. The forest went on for endless miles to the north. But the fire was spreading in a westerly direction. Already smoke was rising in small tendrils. And that was the way to civilization. He repeated again, that the north was certain death. She smiled sadly at him and turned to go north. He grabbed a stick to assist his walking and headed west.
During the surgery, he wished he had listened to her.

Origen of Alexandria and UniversalismMay 5, 2009
Is it true that most of the early "Christian" schools in the first several centuries taught universal salvation? I don't believe in universal salvation, but how could so many schools claiming to be Christian believe in that? It just doesn`t make sense to me.
Edits on Dec 24, 2013
Several comments from readers has made it clear that I am consistently making a mistake in my writing. I realize that this will seem clear as day and many will wonder how I could fail to see this. For this I apologize. I am guilty of referring to "the early church" and in my mind I am thinking MAINLY of my time period: the ante-Nicean period. For many, "early church history" continues to 590AD when Gregory becomes the Pope, or even 1054AD when the Eastern and Western Church split. I have edited this page due to this error of mine.
The quick answer is "No," that is NOT true.
Now for a more thoughtful answer. When scholars speak of "schools" in the ancient world you must be careful not to think of schools like what we have today. Philosophers and theologians would come together to learn and present their ideas and there were a few more formal schools, Alexandria Egypt was the most famous school in the ancient world, though the philosophy school in Athens should also be mentioned.
In the early part of the third century (cir. 210-230 AD) Origen of Alexandria led the Christian school in Alexandria. In one of his many works, On First Principles (Latin, De Principii) he speculated on many issues, one of which was how Ephesians 1:9-10 would be fulfilled,
...which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillmentto bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.Origen was trying to present how this could happen - he speculated that perhaps after eons and eons even Satan himself might be saved,
who are called the devil and his angels....after having undergone heavier and severer punishments...improved by this stern method of training, and [are] restored...and thus advancing through each stage to a better condition, reach even to that which is invisible and eternal... - De Prin. I.6.3
I initially had quotation marks around the "eons and eons" sentence above. This was not accurate. This statement comes from De.Prin. I.6.3 which I cite below with several elipses. Origen typically does not say things in short, concise statements which is probably another reason for the controversies!This was one of several things Origen writes in this particular work that caused a firestorm in Christian history. It is difficult to stress how much conflict the writings of Origen, and this one in particular, caused. Origen was seen as a theological giant and a very godly man. If you read much about church history you will see references to "the Origenist controversy."
Church leaders argued against each other with great passion, even calling one another "heretics." Jerome and his good Rufinus parted ways, theologically and physically, mainly over their positions on the writing of Origen. There were several controversial issues within Origens writings, but perhaps none caused as much conflict as his speculations on "all" being saved.
It is VERY important to remember when criticizing Origen that he says in the preface of "First Principles" that he would be presenting many arguments in the work - some of which he believed, but were not written down prior to his time. He went on to say that simple believers should not even read this work due to the controversial nature of his discussion. The work was written for theology/philosophy students to encourage thoughtful debate. WELL, he got debate!
It is also important to know that the answer to your question is "No." The belief in universalism was NOT widespread at all in the first three centuries of the early church, nor has it ever been a widely held belief. It is, however, a belief that has been gaining ground for the past 100 years.
I am curious - many web sites have said that four of the six theological schools of the first few hundred years believed in Universal Reconciliation (with one other believing in annihilation and the school in Rome of course believing in an everlasting hell). I have wondered what the evidence for this was, how people could know or conclude what these schools taught. How did you come to the conclusion that this is not true?
Also,I am curious about your statement that "The belief in universalism was not widespread at all in the early church..." The following quotes seem to indicate otherwise. What do you make of these? "The mass of men (Christians) say that there is to be an end of punishment to those who are punished." -- St. Basil the Great (c. 329-379) in De Asceticis
"I know that most persons understand by the story of Nineveh and its king, the ultimate forgiveness of the devil and all rational creatures." -- St. Jerome
"There are very many (imo quam plurimi, which can be translated majority) who though not denying the Holy Scriptures, do not believe in endless torments." -- Augustine (c. 29) in Enchiria, ad Laurent
Thanks for your help, and Merry Christmas! In Christ our Beloved Savior, Erik
1. When I say "the early church" I am usually referring to pre-Nicean Christianity which is my area of expertise. This gets me into difficulty and I need to remember to be clear about this.

Teen Mom
Alexandria Sekella Slams Fellow MTV Star: "Get a Life!"
Time to put up your dukes, because there's a Teen Mom fight a brewin'! It's no secret that MTV's new crop of mommas are a feisty bunch, and it looks like their 16 and Pregnant homie Ashley Salazar just messed with the wrong ladies.
Ashley moonlights as a professional reporter (her speciality? Teen Mom news), and she recently wrote an article in which she implied that Alexandria Sekella was hit by her daughter, Arabella. Apparently, Alex was none too happy about said article, thought she was being accused of hitting Bellie, and tweeted "b–– wants to say I hit my child can hop off Arabella didn't even hit me she tapped me like other toddlers tap moms. Salazar get a life."
Ashley was super-quick to apologize, tweeting "I said it was cute, and i never said you hit her. She hit you. Sorry for the confusion!!" but that didn't stop Alex's Teen Mom 3 co-star, Katie Yeager, from offering her two cents.
"just block her she is a negative stalker using all of us to stay relevant and make money. #Pathetic," Katie tweeted, adding "BREAKING: Teen Mom doesn't give a crap. Link this Ashley."
Yikes, girlfriend is all kinds of riled up! But Ashley isn't rolling over without a fight. Despite apologizing for the confusion, she took it to Twitter and put Katie in her place — aka to the left.
"So because I was on TV, even though I major in journalism/writing/news, i can't ever write for a gossip mag or website?" she posted.
Sob, can't we all just get along? Hopefully these ladies will sort things out, we hate it when our Teen Moms fight!

Dear Kimberly, work is progressing visibly but with construction it's hard to tell whether the projected completion date will be met. Thus far the government plans to finish this within about a year but that is highly subject to change. Airlines have not been scheduled and thus far (again, subject to change) it is looking like this new facility will be servicing charter and not commercial flights. If and when I learn more about this airport I will write about it for the IL website. Thanks!

Hi Sub,
Grandma and Grandpa lived in Trinidad; my brother and I found miles of paths and roads... look and ye shall find!
Here in Antioch, Black Diamond Preserve is a good local jaunt
In the Chico area, there is also a park, and in the Sierra foothills, miles and miles of logging roads.
PM me "when" you are in Antioch.
Use yo' Google now!
heh, "masochist"
Looks like private property...
Do you know "Mad Dog" Murphy? He's my cousin.

I'm in McKinleyville, but I ride road. I did the Kneeland downhill that hits bottom of couch a couple months ago, which is fun; pretty fast & lots of water bars. There is lots of riding up here, but you wanna make sure it's cool first...you gotta be careful about whose land you're on, lest you be greeted face to face with a 12 gauge, or worse yet...angry lumber company officials...
Hang out at revolution cycles, they'll set you straight, or go to Clam Beach Inn, have a pint and wait for Downhill Dave to show up, it's never long...
Considering the rural, natural setting of Arcata, you would think there would be more extensive trails and fireroads within riding distance and accessible to the public. Not to take the community forest for granted (it's a treasure), but it does get a little old.
I have heard there's a nice downhill that starts from "the rock(?)" atop Fickle Hill and ends near the fish hatchery in Blue Lake. However, it might run across lumber company land.
there's a few routes down from fickle/kneeland, and not everything on lumber land is sketch; there's definitely lots that's kosher too.

Kanye West
Kanye West Disses Jay Z — BFFs No More? (VIDEO)
Kanye West may be breaking up… with Jay Z. Just weeks after Hov was a no-show at Kanye's wedding to reality starlet Kim Kardashian, Kanye self-edited a couple of songs during a recent performance.
Here's the situation: Kanye's performing at the X Games in Austin and decides to drop his longtime collaborator's name from two songs, "Cold" and "Blood on the Leaves." Maybe it was just a slip of the tongue but knowing what a perfectionist Kanye is, could the omission be a sign of a bromance on the outs?
Kanye and Jay have worked together for years and, of course, combined their platinum talents for 2011's Watch the Throne. They've long been close but unfortunately, their respective lady loves supposedly don't get along. Beyoncé may have refused to be a bridesmaid in Kim's wedding and, whether or not that's true, we know for a fact neither Hov nor his wife attended Kimye's nuptials in Florence, instead opting for a weekend in the Hamptons.
Kim's mama, Kris Jenner, says her daughter's festive event was so busy "I never really gave [Jay and Bey's absence] a second thought," which, if we were feeling snarky, we might take to mean "We don't need you either."
But guys, who will watch the throne?

Not sure if the question below is Zimbra related, but I couldn't find anything in the Evolution bugtracker, so I give it a shot here 1st.
I use Evolution 2.8.1, coming standard with the Ubuntu 6.10 WS install. I have Zimbra 4.0.4 OS working on a clean Ubuntu 6.10 server version. I connect with IMAP and I get two trash and junk folders as can be seen in the first picture attached. What strikes me also is the different icons: 1 container seems to be a system folder, the other a regular map. Using e.g. Thunderbird, I don't get these double containers, see second attachment.
Any idea's?

Canon Pixma MP145 Review
The printer is pretty inexpensive for the features that it possesses and has a feature called Chromalife that can save the color prints from fading over a period of time. The print speed is very good for a frugal printer and can print approximately 12 copies a minute; colored or otherwise.
The price of ink cartridges will overtake the price of the printer itself over a period of time because, as always, the ink is very expensive. The machine is also bulky and the scan quality leaves something to be desired.

The printer has a basic design and the operating systems compatible with this printer are Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows XP/2000 and Mac X v.10.2.8 to 10.5.x, the dimensions are 17.5" W x 15.0" D x 7.1" H. The inkjet multifunction printer weighs 6.3 kg or 13.9 lbs.

The score was tied 2-2 after 45 minutes, but second half goals by Luz and Austin grad Dante Ortiz helped the Blue Devils improve to 5-0 this season.
Things got testy at times, as both teams grew frustrated by the referee's decisions. Multiple yellow cards were handed out in the second half.
The Blue Devils are back in action Friday, when they play at UW-Richland.

Entries were evaluated on the basis of originality and creativity. More than 500 people from 14 countries participated.
Amir Abdul from Dubai, Mais Mohaned Al-Baali from Abu-Dhabi, Ghassan Izzat Qasim Alarsma from Jordan, Ajmal Khan from Pakistan and Shimaa Hassan from Egypt were named the winners of the competition. They each took home a Samsung 3D bundle product which includes a C7000 LED TV, a BD 6900 Blu-ray disc player and a 3D Starter kit which includes 3D glasses and 3D movies.
"Samsung is all about innovation and this unique competition reflects that," said Duke Park, General Manager of Samsung Electronics Egypt. "We are pleased that the competition has generated so much interest from consumers across the MENA region and I would like to thank each and every one of them for their support. I would also like to congratulate the five winners who are now proud owners of state-of-the-art Samsung entertainment products designed to bring the magic of 3D into their living rooms."
"I am really excited to have won this competition not only because I get to bring home the Samsung 3D TV but also because Samsung deemed my review one of the best amongst all other contestants," said Shaimaa Hassan, one of the five competition winners.

Thanks for the help. I was further frustrated because the documents that I was trying to access were pdfs. I have added these to the site accessible by clicking on hyperlinks. Although these are accessible in this manner (albeit having to save them to the computer and then open them) they are not accessible at all through office 365?
I have read other 'complaints' about the difficulty of access to pdf files. I use them a lot on the current website through officelive. Is there likely to be easier access in the fiuture?
I want to upload a number of photographs that I am to use in a slide show.
I go to 'Images'
I press 'upload multiple pictures from your computer'
Internet Explorer Security Queries Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
I click 'Allow'
I am returned to Wesite:Images:uploading Images
There is a message: 'If you have not finished uploading pictures switch to picture editor and finish uploading'
Where is picture editor and how do I navigate to it? Will this enable me to load up multiple pictures to 'Images'?
many thanks
The 365 interface appears to have been put together without much concern for usability.
First, there's an easier way to add links to docs in your docs gallery than described above. When you insert a hyperlink you can simply select a doc from the list.
Second, currently 365 will open very few file types in the browser - including pdfs.
Third, yes, the picture editor is required to upload multiple images. It's very slow to open and may be opening behind another window.
Still unable to access picture editor or upload multiple images.
Hello Editor Roy,
What Operating System are you using?
What version of Microsoft Office are you using? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
What browser are you using? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
Please click the start button, click on the Microsoft Office folder, and then click on the Microsoft Office Tools folder. Do you see the Microsoft Office Picture manager?
Are you still having the same issue?
I will continue to monitor this thread for further posts or questions.

Family: husband, Jack
Occupation: Former cattle farmers
Years in house: 54
Years gardening: 19
Size: 1½ acres of old farmyard
Orientation: all directions
Conditions: full sun to full shade; heavy clay soil
Growing season: mid-May to mid-October
Garden focus: shrubs and perennials
Zone: 2, with microclimates
At first glance, in a place where frost in June is the norm and moose are a common garden marauder, sticking out your green thumb in Dawson Creek might seem like a bad idea. But in this small town in the far northeast corner of British Columbia, Anita Haight has spent the past 19 years creating a colour-saturated, lush garden laden with perennials, shrubs, trees and bulbs that would rival most gardens in Canada's banana belt.
And it all began with cows. Well, more specifically, their leftovers. As cattle farmers, Anita and her husband, Jack, had access to a never-ending supply of manure. When Anita branched out from vegetable gardening into ornamentals, she had Jack dump huge mounds of composted cow manure in the old farmyard. "Planting into pure manure might not have been the best thing to do," admits Anita, "but most plants survived." In fact, they thrived from the nutrients, and the raised beds kept the plants protected from the late frosts, transforming the vista of the couple's property.
Anita's great success is also down to her close attention to what grows well in Dawson Creek's cold climate. Her garden is dense with pinks, geraniums, peonies, Asiatic lilies and delphiniums—all plants that appreciate a good solid dormancy. Anita's delphiniums, in particular, love composted manure and they love Zone 2. Many of the exquisite varieties she grows were started from seed bought from New Zealand plantsman Terry Dowdeswell. In 2002, Anita and her best friend, Anne Good, travelled to Dowdeswell's nursery on the north island of New Zealand.
But even the happiest gardener indulges in a little zone denial from time to time, and Anita is no different, although perhaps her success rate is. Many plants she's had luck with are rated for Zone 5 or higher. In fact, among her stars is a gorgeous fluffy, white fleeceflower (Persicaria polymorpha) that has flourished in one of her big beds for the last 10 years, and lots of the 35 hardy geraniums she grows are generally best suited to warmer climes. Her current favourite is 2008 Perennial Plant of the Year Rozanne cranesbill, with its delicate-looking, pale purple blooms that flower from July onward.
Looking at such a richly planted garden, it's hard to imagine that Anita wants for anything. But every gardener pines for something, and in Anita's case it's a Japanese maple. She's discovered, though, that several of the new elders, such as the dusky, fine-leafed Black Beauty, are suitable stand-ins. Many shrub roses also thrive in her garden, offering much of the beauty and fragrance that the less vigorous tea roses might provide. Anita's one weakness, however, is for the Bonica rose (Rosa 'Meidomonac'), a delicate, shell-pink shrub rose she replaces every year when it inevitably succumbs to yet another harsh winter.
Anita loves the opportunities and challenges this harsh climate offer. During the summer she spends every minute she can in the garden. "It gives me such joy," says Anita. "I've come to the conclusion that I can't explain the delights of my passion to people who don't garden, and I don't need to explain it to those who do."
Top photo: The pastel shades of catmint (foreground), peonies and phlomis (also known as Jerusalem sage) brighten the edges of a shady corner on Anita's property. Centre: The delicate petals of this 'Jen's Munk' rose growing in Dawson Creek, B.C., belie the plant's tough constitution. Bottom: A Clematis integrifolia cultivar shows off its purple blooms.

Every few years the ideals of Ebenezer Howard's garden city utopia are resurrected in an attempt by the UK government to create new communities, and address the country's housing crisis.

Urban Renewal Needs More than 'Garden City' Stamp to Take Root
Britain's Planning Laws: Of Houses, Chickens and Poverty
Perhaps for the first time in nearly seven decades a serious debate on housing affordability appears to be developing in the United Kingdom. There is no more appropriate location for such an exchange, given that it was the urban containment policies of the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947 that helped drive Britain's prices through the roof. Further, massive damage has been done in countries where these polices were adopted, such as in Australia and New Zealand (now scurrying to reverse things) as well as metropolitan areas from Vancouver to San Francisco, Dublin, and Seoul. read more »
Why British Prosperity is Hobbled by a Rigged Land Market
The British have the least living space per head, the most expensive office rents and the most congested infrastructure of any EU-15 country. Thanks to a rapidly growing population – the result of a healthy birth-rate and immigration – these trends are worsening steadily. At the same time, the British economy is languishing in a prolonged slump brought on by a collapse of demand. The answer is obvious: Britain needs to build more. Unfortunately, the obstacles to development are formidable. read more »

The Drive-It-Yourself Taxi: A Smooth Ride?
Despite a corporate sponsor that paid handsomely for the naming rights, Londoners stubbornly refer to our bikesharing system as 'Boris Bikes', in a nod to our colourful Mayor, Boris Johnson. But what will we call our new drive-it-yourself taxis? My suggestion: 'Boris Cabs' – and they are now a reality here, thanks to Daimler's car2go service, if you happen to live in one of three small and separate sections of town. But why did a one-way carsharing system have to limp into London, when more than a dozen other cities have welcomed these arrangements with open arms? In the US, car2go first appeared in Austin, Texas, and since then has moved into Washington, D.C, Miami, Portland Oregon, San Francisco, San Diego, and Seattle. It operates in Canada read more »
Postwar Prefabs: Britain's Factory-Made Palaces
After the financial crisis of 2008, much of Great Britain's construction industry capacity was wiped out.

Which it doesn't. read more »
Housing: How Capitalism and Planning Can Co-Habit
Did Britain's New Labour party conspire against land development? Is it responsible for outdated, "socialist" land planning policies?
The British Conservative Party's favourite think tank, Policy Exchange, would have us think so.

Gentrification? Brixton's Angell Town Story
In the US, urban planners talk about the 'redevelopment' of a neighborhood. In the UK, 'regeneration' is heard more often. What is the difference, from both the planner and the resident perspective? Are they both synonyms for 'gentrification'? Angell Town , a UK 'estate' in Brixton — it would be called a 'public housing project' by Americans — provides a good example of how these questions are answered in practice. read more »
London's Social Cleansing
Unscrupulous landlords are forcing poorer tenants out of their London homes, freeing them up to rent out to visitors to the Olympics this summer, according to the housing charity Shelter. At the same time, the government's cap on rent subsidies (Housing Benefits) for those out of work or on low incomes threaten to force less well-off tenants out of the capital. Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales says that they will have to move people as far afield as Stoke-on-Trent if they are to meet their obligations to house the homeless. read more »

Just purchased a mint pair of 7-speed Sachs brifters and am trying to figure out what rear derailleur they will control other than Sachs. I know the later Sachs units were near copies of Campy rear derails but I'm at a loss as to what these will be compatible with. I was told they would work great with Shimano 7speed rears but found that hard to believe.
Also, do they work freewheels or cassettes or does it make a difference.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

In my head....
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
It must be all in my head...or so I've lead myself to believe for quite sometime now.
I laugh at myself when I stumble over my own feet and start falling towards the closest stationary object. I joke that I must be drunk when I slur my speech or mix my words (even though I haven't had a drop of alcohol). I think 'how stupid' that I sit or stand too long in one position that it causes tingles and numbness throughout my body. I think 'how lazy I must be' because I often times don't have the strength to do everyday activities but would fall asleep within minutes of sitting down...just plain exhausted. The severe vertigo that could put me down for weeks at a time, must be inner ear related. All these things I could find a reason as to why they were happening.
"Mommy, your scaring me!" Those are words that made me stop in my tracks. Maybe it's not all in my head and maybe it's not as simple as "I'm just a funny klutz".
A month and a half. That's how long I waited to see the Dr who was recommended to me by the scheduling nurse. Doctor entered room and was rushing, as most doctors do. "Hello! Whats the purpose of the visit?" I get my paper with my "must be in my head" symptoms and right away she says "I don't have time to look at that just give me the top 3 things." I found myself getting upset but strong. I tell her how long I've waited to see her. I tell her that she was recommended. I tell her that many of these symptoms have started many years ago (07/08) and its impossible to just say 3. I tell her that I deserve her time. I tell her it ISN'T just in my head because my son was scared...and truthfully...me too.
That got her attention. She heard the symptoms (there were more) and she immediately put in for an referral to a specialist. In the mean time I did a series of blood tests. During my followup appointment to go over blood test, my levels on everything was great except for B12. I'm deficient. I eat meat, so I ask myself, how is this possible? I go in for B12 shots every week (they kick my butt for days afterwards) but am hoping to bring my levels back up, assuming it 'takes'.
I've heard of B12 before but never really gave it a second thought. The damage it can cause when levels are low, especially for a great length of time, can and are extreme. The specialist I mentioned earlier....a neurologist. Currently, I am in the process of making an appointment to meet them and go through further testing.
ADVICE: If you have any of the above symptoms, talk with your doctor. If your family brings up a concern, then it's NOT in your head, talk with your doctor. Eat meat. Make sure your doctor listens. Learn about B12...it's important.
It's so easy to write it off as 'its all in my head'. Maybe it is but most of the time it's not. Or in my case, it may be...we'll see what the neurologist says. :) In the mean time, I will continue to laugh, act drunk (without alcohol) and love life...

These doctors book so many appointments throughout the day that they never spend enough time with their patients. Good for you for stopping her in her tracks and demanding to be heard! While reading you symptoms I first thought it was going to be diabetes, which would have been bad. At least with the B12 you can get regular injections to keep levels up. My grand mother used to get a B12 shot every 4-6 weeks for years. Best of luck to you and I hope the injections get your levels up and proper diet and supplementation can take care of it from here on.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I have one additional question regarding this matter - my wife was an employee of this person. She has since left the position due to the payment issues. He is being spiteful and threatening sending me long emails regarding the work and telling me he will be sending it in to review of a third party. We have a arbitration clause in the contract. Do I need to remind him of this? Should I stay silent at this point? The more letters he writes I feel compelled to answer to defend myself. However, it seems that it is only making it worse.
