Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Reggio-Emilia - Red 100ml
Country of Origin: Italy
Region: Emilia-Romagna
City / Village: Novellara
Acetaia San Giacomo, from Emilia Romagna, is proud of producing balsamics that consistently go above and beyond the consortium requirements for quality grapes and traditonal methods of production, making their balsamics some of the best we've ever had. They choose only the highest quality grapes for pressing and cooking; cook the mosto at a lower temperature for a longer period of time; maintain a low residual sugar content so that the full complexity of flavors comes through and only age the vinegar in wood (never in steel.)
This Red seal is the base level of grading for the balsamico tradizionales, making it less expensive than the silver and gold seals, but still a very precious vinegar. It has a lightly viscous body and it has brighter flavors than the Silver and the Gold seal vinegars. Drizzle over a nice aged piece of Parmigiano Reggiano or some fresh fruit and gelato.

Comments On Oct 01, 2014:I have loved them, they have helped with my arm pump. I race endurocross and constantly working the clutch. They make it tons easier to hang on!

Comments On Aug 12, 2014:They work really good. Look ok. Fits in my bark busters with only minor touching on the clutch side. The clutch side rubber wore down after 1/2 a season to just rubber, just wore the ribs off, still grip slightly more than metal ones. Riding gloves less using 2 finger on the clutch it rubs on my 3rd finger and leaves a little gray mark from the aluminum. Nice especially for the price!

GOLD COAST, Australia -- A stretch of Queensland's Sunshine Coast has been blanketed in sea foam, swept ashore by the remnants of a tropical cyclone that struck Australia last week.
Curious onlookers could only marvel at the shifting landscape of billowing bubbles.
Queensland experienced severe rains and flooding from Tropical Cyclone Oswald. Hundreds have been evacuated from the towns of Gladstone and Bunderberg while the rest of Queensland braces for more flooding.

What do you think about the Miken REV-EX Youth Baseball Bat: YRVX12 ? |
or Cancel |
4 Product Reviews
Questions and Answers
Got a question about the Miken REV-EX Youth Baseball Bat: YRVX12? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionAre the used versions of this bat already broken in or just blemished?
The used versions of the Miken REV-EX Youth Baseball Bat (YRVX12) are in good condition, this means they are structurally sound but may have cosmetic imperfections such as nicks and scratches that are expected with normal play. All used bats come with a 14-day money back guarantee, so if you get the bat and are not happy with it, you can return it for a full refund at any time within that 14-day period.
Is this bat good for a beginner that's 11, weighs 99 lbs, and is 4' 9" tall? What size would you recommend?
I would say the 2014 Miken REV-EX Youth Baseball Bat (YRVX12) would be a good choice for a player just starting out. It has a balanced swing weight which makes it easier for the player to achieve higher swing weights. And the -12 length to weight ratio is on the lighter side of the market. Based on the player's height and weight, a 30" model is likely the best choice.
What bat would you compare this to?
The 2014 Miken REV-EX Youth Baseball Bat (YRVX12) is a one piece composite design. The Combat Portent line would be the closest bat in terms of style.
Product Description
If ultimate bat speed and power are what you're looking for this season, you've found your bat. The all-new REV-EX from Miken will give you a revolutionary experience on the field this year! The one-piece composite REV-EX is made from Miken's premium aerospace grade carbon and aramid fibers. In order to obtain a game changing level of performance and durability, Miken has subjected the REV-EX to their new 750X High Pressure Infusion. 750X HPI injects ultra-tough epoxy into their high grade composite at 750 lbs per square inch! This extreme pressure and Miken's premium materials combine to produce a bat that will exceed any expectations. In addition to the ultra-lightweight swing weight, the REV-EX also features a low M.O.I. for faster swing speeds and more distance behind every hit! The REV-EX youth bat is proudly made in the U.S.A.! Miken: Don't Play the Game, Dominate It! The REV-EX is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

4 Effectively a 3 For 2 Dealeden06 | 01/08/2011 | See all eden06's reviews (4)Three of the best of last years xbox Live experience. For those unfamiliar with the service the content on xbox live is usually simpler, lower budget and purer games for lower prices, however, as these games all prove, lower price does not mean lower in fun or punch.Trials HD is by far one of the best peices on the disc, usually available for 1200 MSP (about nine GBP) on the network, this 2.5D physics biking and time trial game is an absolute pleasure to play, focusing on honing skills and giving some great long term challenges, the difficulty curve making the experience a lot more troubling towards the end but the persuit of honing ones skills is a truly rewarding experience for those wishing to see it through.Splosion Man is an innovative puzzle platformer usually available for between 800-1200msp depending on where and when you buy it. With the sequel now available it will most likely drop in price on the service but it's still a bargain here.A typically trying too hard zany platformer with an equally wacky cast of characters might put some off, however at it's core this game is a true skill challenge with 50 multiplayer and 50 singleplayer maps, leaderboard connectivity and a unique approach. At it's core I'd say Donkey Kong Country meets Portal meets an unfunny uncle who smells a little odd and still laughs at the chuckle brothers, but it's well worth a go.And Limbo, only played the demo, seemed okay, have heard good things, reminded me of braid.If you can get the service, have a go at the demo's and see if this is worth it over the 2100 mspoints available for the same price.If you'r an Xbox Live Arcade Newbie who's had concerns about making that first purchase then this is a very safe introduction to the service and style of games on offer, the three games on here all considered fairly essential.And if your living under the sea and can't get xbox live connectivity, then this is definitely a safe bet for a few weekends worth of entertaining distractions at a great price.
5 Just buy it!bose21 | 28/12/2012 | See all bose21's reviews (4)great price for three of the best games on XBLA. Trials HD is addictive fun and enjoyably challenging, splosion man is zany, creative and great fun to play with a friend, again this one gets challenging but always fun. The one that really shines is Limbo though, its art style is stunning, the backdrops atmospheric and the gameplay challenging. An eerie little game that is just shy of pure brilliance!

Moscow: Overview
Guide de destinations
With more than ten and a half million inhabitants Moscow is the most populous city in Europe. With 1.081 km2, the capital and largest city of Russia is also the seventh largest city in the world. Giant economic, political, cultural and religious center in this megacity, history allies together with growing modernity.
Moscow grows and visibly keeps changing without losing the authenticity of a Russian city. On the banks of the Moscow River, which crosses from northwest through to southeast, the capital of Russia has today more than 10.5 million inhabitants and its climate is characterized by severe winters, with temperatures that drop as low as 12 negative degrees and short summers, between 18 and 22 degrees. Even thought not having an access to the sea, Moscow is known as the port of the five seas, due to the canals connecting the Moscow River to Volga River that flows into the Baltic Sea, Azov Sea, Black Sea, Caspian Sea and White Sea. Capital of the former Soviet Union, the Russian Empire, Tsarist Russia and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, this city breathes history. It is here that that you'll find the Kremlin, a world heritage that belongs to the city, the official residence of the President of the country and in front of which lays the Red Square. House of many billionaires, Moscow is a huge cultural center that invites you to experience the treasures of its museums, galleries and performance halls, like the Bolshoi Theatre. Old estates and luminous parks give the city a touch of romanticism.

Builder Village Homes asked architect Richard Garza to create a house that departed from the typical Texas production housing mentality.
Play Slideshow >>
villa alta
An overhanging roof and a deep porch help keep Villa Altacool on hot days. Inside, wide, arched doorways frame sight lines into other rooms. "I wouldn't mind one ofthese," said one judge of the winning home.
rpga design group, fort worth
Builder Village Homes asked architect Richard Garza to create a house that departed from the typical Texas production housing mentality. They wanted something different, something with historical significance, Garza explains. In response, he designed "basically just a box," he says, "but the materials and detailing give it sophistication."
Mediterranean-style flourishes in the iron balustrades, window trim, horizontal bullnose banding, and roof brackets embellish the home's simple shape. "Most people know they like something even when they don't know why they like it," says Garza. "It has a lot to do with proportion and window placement, so we were particular about the order of each facade." The judges appreciated his "simple forms and nice detail."
Also high on the judges' list was the floor plan's easy flow. Garza stuck with Mediterranean ideas to refine indoor-outdoor relationships. Time-tested elements like the low-pitched, overhanging roof and scaled-down arches keep interior spaces shaded. And an entry sequence that moves from open-air porch to covered portico to a foyer with teasing sight lines into other rooms builds drama. "It gives you a sense of discovery," says Garza. "You want to explore the rest of the house and you never dead-end because it's a continuous flow."

How many guys in the NFL get the opportunity to just sit back like a statue?
I have no idea who the #2 QB is, is Gabbert really that good? I can't tell cause of that offense.
There aren't many QB's who can play well when their offensive line is getting domianted against a pass rush like they were last night.

5 BRILLIANT FOR ALL THE FAMILYscandalous80 | 07/06/2011 | See all scandalous80's reviews (2)This film is amazing. Not only did my daughter find it enjoyable (she has now seen it 6 times) but my 10 year old son actually found it really good. There are lots of scenes that make you laugh. The songs are as great as the storyline. My daughter thinks she is Rapunzel and wants to marry Eugene. It is by far her favourite disney film and I have to say I dont disagree. Its well worth buying on dvd because it will be well watched and wont just sit on the shelf!!!
5 Disney at it's very best!retrogirl75 | 03/05/2011 | See all retrogirl75's reviews (22)This film had everything, laughs, romance, great music... I saw this with my 2 sons who both loved it, and my mum who placed it 2nd only to Beauty and the Beast (praise indeed, from her). Lovely songs, some real laugh out loud moments, a great mix of characters - and a horse called Maximus who is on a mission! This dvd will be enjoyed by all ages. Girls will love Rapunzel, and boys will love the rougue Flyn. A must for your Disney collection.
5 Tangled (Disney)chrise930 | 04/05/2011 | See all chrise930's reviews (1)This is to me, belongs with the classic Disney films, it's a laugh out loud, raise your spirit type of film. Can't wait to own it. As a massive Disney fan, some of the recent films have left me thinking 'not as good as they used to be' but Tangled is back with the magic. Definitely one for your collection, young or old.
5 Mother Knows Best!MsABitBias | 25/09/2011 | See all MsABitBias's reviews (3)My 2 year old does not allow this dvd to leave the dvd player. She adores this film... (and so do i secretly). Lovely film to watch with the family.
4 Let down your hair and enjoy this film!MovieMark | 08/06/2011 | See all MovieMark's reviews (74)I am a total sucker for a good animated movie. Sure, they're aimed at kiddies, but a good Disney flick will always contain enough innuendo and genuine laughs to keep eyes and ears of all ages happy. Tangled does this in spades. Oh, and Mandy Moore's voice is heavenly; the healing song should have been waaay longer. I'm starting to sound creepy so I'll cut this short.

Chronic thyroiditis is swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland that often results in reduced thyroid function (hypothyroidism ).
Hashimoto thyroiditis; Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis; Autoimmune thyroiditis
Chronic thyroiditis or Hashimoto disease is a common thyroid gland disorder. It can occur at any age, but is most often seen in middle-aged women. It is caused by a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland.
The disease begins slowly. It may take months or even years for the condition to be detected. Chronic thyroiditis is most common in women and in people with a family history of thyroid disease.
In rare cases, Hashimoto disease may be related to other hormone problems caused by the immune system. This condition can occur with adrenal insufficiency and type 1 diabetes. In these cases, the condition is called type 2 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA II).
Less commonly, Hashimoto disease occurs as part of a condition called type 1 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA I), along with:
Symptoms of Hashimoto disease may include any of the following:
Laboratory tests to determine thyroid function include:
Imaging studies are generally not needed to diagnose Hashimoto thyroiditis.
This disease may also change the results of the following tests:
A lack of thyroid hormone may develop. You may receive thyroid hormone replacement therapy (levothyroxine) if your body is not producing enough of the hormone. Or, you may receive it if you have signs of mild thyroid failure (such as elevated TSH). This condition is also known as subclinical hypothyroidism.
If there is no evidence of thyroid hormone deficiency, you may just need to be seen regularly by a health care provider.
The disease stays stable for years. If it does slowly progress to thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism), it can be treated with thyroid replacement therapy.
This condition can occur with other autoimmune disorders. In rare cases, thyroid cancer or thyroid lymphoma may develop.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of chronic thyroiditis.
There is no known way to prevent this disorder. Being aware of risk factors may allow earlier diagnosis and treatment.

A groin hernia occurs when abdominal tissue or fat pokes out through the abdominal wall. It causes a bulge in the groin area. There are two main types:
A hernia can trap a section of intestine, leading to blockage or problems with blood flow. This is a medical emergency and requires care right away.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The abdominal wall wraps around your middle from the bottom of your ribs to your pelvis. It helps to contain and support your abdominal organs and tissue. When this area is weakened, these internal tissues can press through can create the hernia. The weakness may be caused by a problem with the abdominal wall development before birth, injuries, or wear and tear of the muscles.
Groin hernias are more common in men and femoral hernias are more common in women.
Abdominal wall weakness is more common in older adults. Factors that increase your chance of abdominal wall weakness include:
Many times, there are no symptoms with groin hernia. In those who do have them, the symptoms may include:
More serious symptoms may need emergency care:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Imaging studies are only done if the diagnosis in not clear by physical exam.
Watchful waiting is an option for those with no symptoms. This means you and your doctor will monitor your hernia for growth or the appearance of more serious symptoms. In people with symptoms, hernias are repaired with surgery. The abdominal tissue will be pushed back in and the opening will be closed. Sometimes, a mesh material will be placed to help support the area.
The following strategies may help to prevent a groin hernia:

I love this treadmill
I had bought a treadmill that was supposed to be delivered on Saturday, by Sears and the day it was supposed to be delivered they cancelled due to not having product. So the next day on Sunday the weekly flyer came out and I went down to Dick's and looked at the treadmills they had. I found this treadmill, and it had all the new technology with a color monitor. My other treadmill was 15 years old, wow, have treadmills changed. I had no problem with the ifit connection and have used the treadmill almost every night. I really like the programs that are installed and the maps thru ifit. I don't have a noisy fan so I feel lucky. I am using my treadmill for weight loss in combination with weight watcher's and although the treadmill can do a lot more than what I am currently using it for I also agree it was the best purchase of 2014. My friend's girlfriend told me this treadmill was better than what you see in the gym it doesn't get better than that!

EPIC A42T Treadmill
Only issue is wifi connection ... but EPIC customer service is excellent and the treadmill's warranty does not require you to buy one from the store.
I had an initial iFit issue and EPIC spent over an hour on the phone getting we through a system reset to get the treadmill operational again. Because it is very high tech it will have some rather catastrophic software issues, but don't get frustrated... the reward is well worth the effort.
Thoroughly enjoy this treadmill as I move from a high end Proforma i have owned for eight years and about wore it out...
This treadmill has a very smooth motor, very rugged built, a little noisy but tolerable.
The treadmill is one of the better sport equipment purchases I've made in years.

Excellent Treadmill, Excellent Support; iFit Lags
I?ve had this treadmill for over ten months now, and my enthusiasm for this product remains strong. The frame is rock-solid and the power train is robust. The running deck is extremely comfortable - cushioned without feeling bouncy - and the noise level is minimal. The ability to change the height and tilt of the console was an unexpected bonus. I like using the built-in speakers for audiobooks and podcasts, but for music I much prefer an iPod docking station located close by. When I first got the treadmill, the speed changes were abrupt - hang on to the safety handles! - but that changed long ago. Epic updates the treadmill?s firmware regularly, and speed changes are now more gradual. Or at least that?s how it seems to me.
The console display and view options on the A42T are nothing short of superlative. Depending on the type of workout you?re engaged in (e.g., Google map, goal-driven, programmed, manual) there will be anywhere from three to five available screen displays that you can cycle through by swiping left or right across the screen. These include your choice of Google street view, map view or satellite view in map-driven workouts; a generous lookahead of upcoming incline changes in map-driven workouts, or upcoming speed and elevation changes in programmed workouts; the proverbial quarter-mile track; a dashboard-type display of all current running metrics; and customized displays for the various types of goal-driven workouts (time, distance, calories, or pace). Individual readouts on the display allow even more flexibility. For example, the upper lefthand corner of the screen shows elapsed time by default. Pressing this button cycles through time remaining (in a programmed workout), pace, and average speed. Pressing the upper righthand corner of the screen cycles through miles run (the default), miles to go (in a programmed workout), and cumulative elevation. Pressing the middle button cycles through calories burned, current calorie consumption per hour, and heart rate. And when you?re done, the completed workout is automatically uploaded to your free or paid iFit account.
?Which brings up two issues: electronics and iFit. (I?ll save iFit for later.) I had no problem connecting the treadmill to my home wi-fi network and linking the treadmill to my iFit account. I?ve encountered only minor issues, none of which persisted, relating to logons, firmware updates and map downloads. These short-lived hiccups are the sort of stuff one runs into with any device connected to a wi-fi network. My good experience in this area may be attributable to the fact that I extended my wireless network by installing a wireless access point in my basement specifically to accommodate the treadmill.
The A42T comes with 46 built-in workouts plus two video workouts. It?s interesting how Epic approached the issue of allowing users to alter the built-in workouts. Some club machines have a small number of built-in workouts but let the user adjust the overall ?level? of the program. Another treadmill I?ve used allows the user to alter the speed or incline of an individual workout segment, but reverts to the programmed speed and incline in the next workout segment. Epic took a middle ground. You can alter the speed or incline at any time during a programmed workout, and your changes stick until you push the ?Follow Workout? button that appears whenever you?ve made a change. For example, if you?re having trouble keeping up with the incline in a built-in workout, you can set the incline to a lesser grade until you?re ready to return to the programmed incline changes.
A huge selling point of A42T is the download or creation of map-based workouts via iFit and Google maps. (This requires the paid version of iFit.) You can draw a route on either the treadmill or your computer, or download a wide variety of free and paid routes from the iFit web site, including a free ?workout of the day.? This gives you an infinite variety of programmed workouts, but eventually the novelty wears thin. I find it most motivating to create routes of places I already know. And persons training for a race can run the route indoors.
As you run, the console displays static images that change every 4-5 seconds. The incline changes automatically to correspond to the terrain, which is where the decline capability of the A42T shines: the treadmill does a good job of simulating the uphills and downhills of running outdoors. You manually control the speed. The image quality is pretty good, but the overall experience is just not that immersive on a 10? screen. Also, a large number of the street view images face rearward, into oncoming traffic.
Unfortunately, and despite a huge number of user requests, iFit does not allow you to map out a long route and run it in stages. Although iFit lets you program your own time- or distance-based workouts on the web site, the user interface for setting speed and incline levels is so cumbersome as to be virtually unusable. iFit for many months has noted its plans to produce additional video programs but so far has not delivered. And much of the statistical data displayed on the web site is difficult to understand. So the pattern I?ve fallen into is to buy a month or two of premium iFit; let it lapse for a while and just use the free version; and re-up for premium when I have a hankering again for map-based workouts.
The built-in web browser is slow and stodgy. I can?t imagine even trying to use it while running (as opposed to walking). There is no zoom function to enlarge text. And try as I might, I was unable to play video from Netflix, Hulu+, Amazon Prime or any other popular site on the web browser, and my help request to iFit went unanswered.
Epic?s customer service is excellent. The phone reps are based in Utah and are genuinely helpful. I had problems getting the treadmill to reliably display my heart rate when using the chest strap sensor. This was very important to me. After a substitute chest strap didn?t resolve the situation, Epic arranged for several service calls and replaced lots of parts. Ultimately the problem was corrected, and my heart rate now displays properly. (Note: At the time I bought this unit, none of the Icon treadmills offered heart rate-based *programs*.) Unfortunately, the fan in the replacement console is louder than the fan in the original. Button presses are not always recognized. And the pulse-grip heart beat sensors never worked right, even after several parts replacements.
All in all, the A42T is a solid performer with some really cool features that more than meets my needs. iFit, though, needs more attention from Icon than it?s getting.

This thing is sooo awesome I can't even look at it without wanting to jump on it. Best Purchase of 2014. We got for an amazing deal as they were clearing these out. Paid 1/4th of the price.
April 23, 2014
Fantastic features
The A42T has a great amount of features to help you toward your workout goal. The addition of the iFit application only serves to improve your experience. So many options...

No bang for the buck
We bought this treadmill after our old treadmill quite working (about 7 years old). The treadmill was easy to assemble and has a strong motor. The biggest problem we found when using one of the programs you will see a graph indicating the incline and speed you will have. The graph consist of linear lines and a graph bar goes from a speed of about 5 increments. My daughter was running on the treadmill and it went from 4 mph to a quick 8 mph without giving any warning like our old model would tell by a series of beeps. She jumped off and after pulling the safety tag, it keep going. I spoke to the manufactures and they didn't have any answers. The incline never seem to sync up even after multiple times of calibrating it. I even had to pull out the leveler. The last problem that broke our back was an attempt to adjust the console to a different height. The motor would grind and it would not move. All of this within about six weeks. We definitely did not like the surprises in the program workouts. I am sure some people have had good luck with their machines, but this wasn't one of them!

Great machine!
Have had this machine for about a month. Overall, I love it! Some positives include: adjustable height of the console as well as the screen ( you can move the screen up and down). It really makes a huge difference to be able to move that screen up so you can see it well. The motor is very nice and I don't think it's that noisy. The cushioning is also great-I've had no aches yet. All of the parts work-except the right speaker. It may be a matter of pulling the console off and adjusting the wiring? Or maybe it'll need to be serviced-just haven't fiddled with it yet. The screen is lovely-well worth it and glad we paid more for a 10" screen. Really, the only negative is iFit. And it really isn't that bad, but it could use a lot of improvement. Maps doesn't ever work seamlessly and last night I had an issue with my workouts syncing, so I lost them. Thankfully, I snapped a picture with my phone and the data isn't completely lost. You'll need to get your own audio cable though to hook up your iphone or ipad. The sound isn't terrific, but very loud (even though only one speaker works) which is nice when you're pounding away running and trying to watch a show on your ipad (which reminds me-unless you're walking at a very slow pace, don't think you'll be able to use the web browser. It's way too difficult to browse the web while running. Plus, it really lags and is not worth the effort. Pretty much the screen is there for the beautiful street view maps and tracking your workout, really). The heart rate monitor probably works? I use it, but haven't double checked that it's accurate, although it seems like it probably is. Minus the very buggy ifit, this machine is well worth the money. I haven't missed one training for my half marathon (despite the snow storms!) and I do love all the free programs from ifit (Jillian's workouts really kick butt!!). We found a two year ifit subscription on ebay that equaled about $4.50/month and I think that's the way to go and worth the $ even thought it's so buggy. I've been able to map various races and beach runs all over the world and though the map works only about 80% of the time, it's still fabulous. It also matches the terrain and inclines/declines which is pretty fantastic. The fan feature is great and I love the two cup holders-they are big enough to hold a lot of stuff! Oh, and there is a little lip that easily holds an ipad and iphone. The only downside is my 10" ipad does cover the treadmill screen a bit and you miss out on a little scenery. Probably a 7" tablet would work great. Again, I just love this machine and I love that I can keep up my training despite the horrible weather outside!

Nice treadmill...Difficult to use
I purchased this treadmill over a year ago and I STILL struggle to master the controls to make my workouts less about working the machine and more about my fitness goals. More programming/support information needs to accompany this machine. There aren't even any helpful websites to make me love this machine yet
January 31, 2014
Excellent investment
It meets all my expectations, it feels nice and smooth when running, love that I can be on internet and watching videos while I work out! It is simply great!

"Favorite cigar!"
This is one of the most flavorful cigar I ve ever smoked. I always buy these as it is a consistent quality
Thaddeus in Chicago July 19, 2014
smoked one for the first time last night and i must say, it was by far the best smoke i have had so far. period! creamy smooth thick smoke, not harsh in a the slightest, yet strong and full flavored! must try...
kirby in pa November 9, 2012
"A smooth creme bold taste! I tip my hat!"
I went to my local "cigarologist" looking for a box of Carlos Torano Signature series and they were out. The sales person directed me over to the Maximo tubos and the rest is history! I had one that night and was blown away. A VERY different smell of creme and hints of spice with a bold taste. Top Notch!
Lester Bingaman in Germany February 25, 2009
"Great cigar for the money equal to a Cohiba"
I finally found a cigar that's equals a Cohiba Black an it's affordable as an everyday smoke. Darn good cigar.
J Moter in Chesterfield, Va January 28, 2009
"Better than ever"
I stopped buying these sticks a couple years ago. I was getting too many plugs and horrible burns. I have bought two boxes in the last four months and looks like General has upped the quality control. Only one tight draw and a couple bad burners. The flavor is still exquisite.
Clinton in Jacksonville, Fl January 8, 2009
"Great Cigar- "but""
This particular Partagas Black was my first and my down right favorite until about 4 months ago I started getting Maximo's that were very hard to draw. I became disenchanted with this size and went to the Classico for after work and the Bravo during the day when I only have about 45 minutes. Bottom Line Partagas Black, best smoke ever
James in Chicago October 1, 2008
A strong bold cigar - rich flavor but still very smooth - not for beginners --- Worth Trying
Roy in San Juan - Tx April 19, 2008
"Funky taste & smell"
I'm a fan of Partagas in general, but I didn't really like this style. The taste and smell reminded me of sweaty b.o., as if the roller hadn't washed up before work. I finished most of it, but won't buy it again.
Steve in NC April 1, 2008
"One of the Best Cigars Ever"
This slow smoking cigar is one of the best I have ever smoked. I always keep a box of these in my humidor. All of Partagas Black products are good and these are one of the best.
Terrence in Texas March 5, 2008
"What a find!"
I've smoked Arturo Fuente Chateau's for years but because of availablity I searched for an alternate brand. The cedar lined tube keeps them moist and flavorable. It's peppery and oily. What a great smoke.

XV, NO. 13 15RYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PiL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1929 PRICE. 10 CENTS DEMOCRACY AND ITS ENEMIES Norman Thomas Sees Ne- cessity of Political .Philosophy STRESSES COLLECTIVISM On Wednesday afternoon, February 13, Norman Thomas spoke in the music room under the auspices of the Under- graduate Association. His subject was "Democracy and Its Enemies;" "after we made the world safe for democracy, we . wondered � what it was, anyway." Ideal- istically we are better off as a nation simply because we have had an idea; ourv criticism of the idea as it exists in fact does not detract from the glory of it as as immaterial thing. We know that .it is - worth thinking about the masses and their rights�this conception had never dawned upon men during the other, great periods of civilization; the idea is still young today, and we have our doubts, but sometimes it is very wise to "doubt one's doubts." Bertrand Russell says that men fear thought more, than anything else in the world, and "this did not necessarily mean that he did not intend to implicate women in the remark," added Mr. Thomas. People will not listen to serious discus- sion in these days unless the subject has been "jazzed up." (Mr. Thomas, inci- dentally, managed to do just that in a most amusing way.) The elite in our democracy are bored by its ideals; we think in terms of a crowd, and crowds are fearsome things; it is just this sort of psychology which makes the world an interesting place for dictators, poli- ticians, advertisers (the poets of the pres- ent generation) and others.. They have caught uS out in the spirit of mob thinking; arifl they are able to keep us within a rather close limit of control. We have come to believe in a set of slogans which have long ago outworn their use- fulness, or which were never intended in * Continued on Page Three Chapel Programs Mr. Cadbury will speak in Chapel on Friday � On Monday morning Miss Schenk will speak about opportunities for- study in France.

M.^on Friday, and the Jast session will be held on Saturday afternoon. Reports will be heard from the Committee on the Personnel and Work of the Secretariat, from the Permanent Mandate Commission and from a special Committee on the applica- tion of the Monroe Doctrine. Each mem- ber of the Bryn Mawr delegation is ex- pected to be informed on one of these topics, Miss Fain on the work of the Secretariat, Miss Linn on Mandates, and Miss Hand on the Monroe Doctrine. They are expected to take the Italian at- titude throughout. On Saturday ^morning Mr. James G. McDonald, Chairman of the Foreign Policy Association, will lecture on the "A-tteged Weaknesses or Defects in the League Machinery." The Model Assemble of the League of Nations is one of the means by which the National Student Federation of America attempts to stimulate thought on international problems among undergrad- uates, and to bring them together to express their ideas. Freshmen Commended Varsity made a promising beginning to the basketball season Saturday morn- ing, February 16, when Bryn Mawr de- feated Baltimore, 25-15. The game was fast and exciting. The Baltimore team passed neatly and well. Their players hardly had to look where they^hrcw the ball because the receiver was always in the correct place. This was Bryn Mawr'^ only perceptible weakness, a slight slow- ing of the -game while the player with the ball looked around for some one to pass the ball to. There arci however, exceptions to all rules and the pass from Baer or Blanchard to' Totten, forward was almost always successful. Varsity on the whole out-played Bal- timore during the first part of the game, but after the few minutes time out in the last quarter (Shoemaker had to re- cover from the disastrous effects of a collision with Baer) the visitors let loose. Varsity by that time felt almost sure of a victory and awoke with a start to find that Baltimore was playing better and faster basketball. Both teams fought hard but Varsity held the lead. � The center, proved to be the hole in the visitor's armor. Cassard was slow and ineffectual and their guards often had to throw long passes to the forwards. But Cassard was at, a disadvantage, she was playing opposite Blanchard, who is fast and exceptionally good at interfer- ence, although inclined to be a little wild in passing. The honors of the game go to Totten, forward for Varsity, and to Clarkson, forward for Baltimore. Totjen was fast and dependable; she made up for Hum- phrey's tardiness at certain critical mo- ments. Totten was good but Clarkson was spectacular. Although" playing out of her usual position and at a disadvan- tage on account of her size and poor eye sight, she was the real star of the game, quick, alert and always moving. She made the most of every opportunity The lifre-up was: ' Varsity�B. Humphreys, '31, 212212; E. Totten, '31, 222221311; E. Baer, '31; E. Blanchard, '31; E. Freeman, '20; H. Moore, '32.

Lantern Tea Tug Lan�rn cordially invites all freshmen who are interested in writing or drawing to a tea to be given Monday, February 25,-from 4.30 to 6 in H. Wright's room, 21 Pembroke West. . Second Varsity- Second Varsity followed in Varsity's footsteps Saturday morning, February 16, and defeated The Saturday Morning Club. 26-23. It is a pity that Second Varsity has to play after Varsity because it is such a let- down. Saving the best for the last might work in athletics, too. The passing in Saturday's game was slow and often wild. The playing generally looked like a slow motion picture in comparison with the first game. McCully played a con- sistent game and successfully kept the visitors' score down. Rash in side center played well but hardly had an opportun- ity to show her ability. Johnsojr, who took, Hirshberg's place the second half, added materially to the score but had a ten- dency to hog the ball which was unneces- sary with Engle there to help her. Engle was the tone consoling feature about the game. She handles a'basket- ball in a very competent manner. In Continued on Page Pour All-College Revue Is Suggested by Miss Park. Miss Park highly commended the l-'reslunan Show in chapel, on Monday morning, February 18. She declared that aside from the excitement of the scenes, there was an atmosphere of calmness and serenity,' that the pleasure of the per- formers was evident, that the whole thing moved very easify (perhaps due to the fact that this is the first class to use Goodh,grt for its Freshman Show), that the opening was good, that the scenery was charming and effective, and the dancing excellent. , .Miss Park then pointed out that there was an application of her remarks to dramatics in general at Bryn Mawr. There are more dramatics at Radcliffe, for instance; more emphasis is placed on it there, and the drama courses at Har- vard are an added advantage. On . the whole, it is not a theory, but an actual tact, that amateurs cannot do finished acting. We must realize the problems presented to someone acting a difficult and subtle woman's part, or a man's part, and not expect excellent and expert act- ing, in any thing but exceptional cases. It is therefore a pity, continued Miss Park, to lay emphasis on finished and expert acting, and to choose plays in which everything stands and falls by jhe acting alone. It would be far better to take something fresh and original that can't be seen elsewhere. It may be either very old, or the original work of a col- lege student, but its freshness is all- important. It would remove the dis- advantage of almost certain disappoint- ment and discouragement. The college should be able to do something very interesting with costumes and back- grounds, and really ought to do the actual preparation of the latter them- selves, instead of having it done by the college men. We are not isolated from urban life, here at Bryn Mawr. and so we have com- petitors in the professionals in Phila- delphia. We must see what our best chance of offering something interesting is. Miss Park suggested that an all- college revue might be very good,. It would be fresh and original, and lend it- self to production, arid be better than a cut and dried thing that could be seen at any theater. We can get the point of view from the Freshman Showf* and everyone in Bryn Mawr who is at all interested in Dramatics could do some- thing on the preparation of a produc- tion of this type. FRESHMAN PLAY SHOWS TOUCH IN PROPERTIES IS PROFESSIONAL The Debating Club Bryn Mawr's Varsity Debating Team (as yet unchosen) will de- bate against Swarthmore some- time in. April. The question is, "Resolved, That Advertising Is Detrimental to theJWorld." _ We have asked for the affirmative, but that side of the situation hasn't been decided either. Liberal Club Announces Extension of Membership Hazel Seligman, '30, the President of the Liberal Club which has been carry- ing on a quiet existence for nearly two years, has announced that the club plans to extend its sphere of activity. Hitherto the members have been Seniors and Juniors who have been individually in- vited to take part in the club discussions, which take place every other Sunday night. It has now been decided, how- ever, to offer membership to any under- graduates or graduate student who is interested in domestic and international! problems of current interest, and who is willing to take an active part in the club's activities. Miss Seligman there- fore requests anyone who is interested to come to see her between 1.30 and 2 P. M. any day this week, in Room 10-12 Pembroke East. The appeal ts especially directed to Fresnmen, Sopho- mores and Graduate students, as they have hitherto had no part in the club, but any member of any class will be welcomed. The discussions which have been held so far this year have dealt with such subjects as Italy under Mussolini, Soviet Russia, Companionate Marriage, and so forth. It is the custom of the club to select a topic two weeks in advance and give each member some particular aspect of the problem to study. In this way the members are led to take an active as well as passive interest in the questions under discussion. The club may also invite outside speakers to talk at its meetings. Emphasis of College Has Changed in a Few Years In Chapel on Wednesday morning Miss Carey announced a consecutive plan for the remaining of her weekly chapel talks during the second semester. For several weeks she will talk upon vari- ous aspects in college life; she will next consider certain phases of literature� bpoks and authors of interest to her; and lastly she will discuss some of the out- standing social problems of the day.t^ Miss Carey started right off on the series with a delightful comparison of the college-as it was when she was there�but a short decade ago�and the college of today. Apparently there were amazing differences, above all/in the curriculum of academic work. The amount of required work almost exceed- ed the amount of elective work that it was possible to take in the limited time. Thus there was little opportunity to specialize.' Much of the work was ar- ranged on the five-hour basis which al- lowed scarcely any chance for variation in aschedule-of classes during the week. This system appears to have been very stiff and rigid but it was advantageous in that students didn't rush from one thing to another. Athletics were carried on in the same highly organized system. There were five hours of required exercises�hours that permitted no individual expression. In Miss Carey's class itself, which consisted of 64 girls�there were live hockey teams and during her freshmaVycar 11 basket- ball teams. The boundaries between classes were held to be inviolable and almost sacred. The seniors were set apart somewhat as minor dieties. Miss Carey confessed that she is still a bit scared of anyone from the class of 1917. This class spirit meant necessarily much emphasis upon song- writing and songj} were composed for everything imaginable�something which we miss nowadays. Every party must needs have a song. Miss Carey recalls the first two lines of the Senior Recep- tion Song that her class sang: "1920 thanks you for your party here We think you're fine, because yon are so kind-." To make up songs and to have all par- ties conducted with proper attention to detail there were innumerable class meet- ings apd committees, including a War Council�formidable title�which worked to raise monev to send war-workers Prehistoric Life Made Vivid by Realistic and Effec- tive Costume COHERENCE IS LACKING The chief fault to be found with all Freshman Shows is that the producers forget their amateur standing in an un- successful attempt to be professional. In spite of the almost professional excellence of the lighting, scenery and costumes (Varsity Dramatics might well learn something from the Freshman "men") we must find this fault with the produc- tion of 1932,'presented in Goodhart, Saturday evening. We came away with the feeling that the Freshmen had made a gallant attempt to achieve something just a' little too big for thera. After the campus cat had made a leisurely pilgrimage across the stage, the curtain song�well sung�gave the signal for the prologue. The familiar gestures of Lucy Swift as the harassed poet seem- ed" exaggerated and over-played through- out the performance. If it had not been Continued on Page Three Study in Germany abroad. For this students pledged great sums and then tried to redeem their in- debtedness by shining shoes or by re- sorting to various other devices for rais- ing money. Many more rules existed in the self- government handbook. There was more dignity in attending to these rules, less individualism and no boasting whatso- ever about breaking any regulation. Week-ends were almost unthdught of� Saturdays and Sundays were spent in reading and playing together. � "Perhaps this sounds like a doleful picture," Miss Carey concluded, "but I can assure you that it wasn't doleful. We were less blase, with less chance for self-expression and with more inclination to work together. A slightly different emphasis existed, not so much upon work as upon inside activities. Now there is less general enthusiasm and much more particular enthusiasm. The swing is from' general things to the arts. And even if the alumnae do say that things are not the same, this swinging is signifi- cant of progress, and an exceedingly in- terestfng progress." Dr. Diez Recommends Summer Courses at German Universities. Professor Max Diez of the German department spoke in Chapel, Friday morning, on the opportunity of studying , in Germany in the summer. "The opportunities for taking fjKday courses in Germany increase so fast that it is impossible to keep up with them," Mid Professor Diez. The best places to go. according to Mr. Diez, are the fol- lowing : Hamburg, August .">-24; three weeks of- work with excursions to Xubeck, Lune- bergcr, Ifude. After this there will be ' two weeks' tour to Frankfort, Heidelberg, The Rhine, Cologne, etc. Kassel, July 15-August 31; there are airplane lines daily to London, Brussels, Rotterdam, Prague, Hanover, Frankfort, Berlin, etc. Kassel is a beautiful city, having live museums. The university is organizing full winter courses for Ameri- can students. Marburg, -three weeks of study in Au- gust, the f�Mirth week is devoted to sight- seeing.* * Jena, August 1-15; two weeks _of study, twenty-four hours of total work. There arc excursions to Vienna, poethe was the President of the board of the University. Luther translated hisl Bible ^hcre. � � J Heidelberg, June 24-August 3; Ele- mentary courses are given here, also trips to the Rhine valley, to ruined castles and also the Black Forest. Munich, July 10-August 7; lectures are also given in elementary courses. There arc trips to the Bavarian Highlands and the Lake Countries. Berlin, July 11-August 21; five lan- guage courses are given here�the largest program offered in the country. The "courses arc given both in German and in English. After the session there will be organized trips to all parts of Ger- many. "I would like to recommend Munich or Berlin. The whole session is six weeks in both places; but you can take half session. The advantage of study- ing in Heidelberg, which opens early In June, is that you will be able to see German universities in operation if you make a tour after you finish your work there. "I have not said anything about ex- penses," said Professor Diez in conclu- sion, "because* they are ridiculously cheap." Self-fJovernment Announces Students are reminded that the per* mission to smoke in the village was given for tea-houses only. This does not in- clude such places as drug stores- candy stores or stores with soda fountains.

The Supreme Court Hobby Lobby Case… and Diabetes?
The country's abuzz about a recent ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) involving the retail chain Hobby Lobby, that dealt with employer-provided health insurance and whether they're obligated to cover certain controversial birth control methods.
We're not a blog about politics or religion — two things central to this whole case and the reasons that opinions are coming down so strongly on all sides of this issue.
But this case also…
