I've been a preferred customer of Hertz and other rent-a-car companies in both business and personal life for thirty-some years. All that time I've not had a concern. But late last year I rented from Hertz in Japan. I returned the car with a fix requiring about a $100, but Hertz charged me $600-plus as their "standard fee". That was bad enough, but when I went to customer service they basically blew me off and said tough. Easy to say as obviously I wasn't going to claim long-distance from the USA for $500 and they knew it. The mark of a good company is when they make good on the customer's concern when they don't have to. Hertz utterly failed this test, so my remedy is to let you know wherever I can that you have a choice and it ain't Hertz.
LET'S face it: Hertz Rent-a-Car is way better than Dollar Thrifty. In my experience, the Hertz locations are better, they're more likely to be in or near the airport, and they have fewer bizarre, annoying add-on fees and conditions. (One example: Last time I rented from Thrifty, they made me bring them a receipt from a gas station within 10 miles of the rental location to prove I filled it up nearby.) And Hertz's prices aren't often much more than the competition's (I use Kayak.com to search for rentals so I often see the whole range of prices on offer).
Hertz has lusted after Dollar Thrifty for years. Its latest offer—reportedly $2.56 billion—is more than twice what it offered two years ago, when Dollar Thrifty's shareholders said no. If this deal goes through (Avis Budget has also made offers for Dollar Thrifty in the past), it will leave three major players in the American car-rental market—Hertz/Dollar Thrifty, Avis Budget, and Enterprise (which controls Alamo and National). There were nine major car-rental companies in America during the mid-1990s.
Hertz may have to dump its lower-priced Advantage brand for antitrust reasons if the Dollar Thrifty deal goes though. I don't have an opinion on the competitive aspects of the deal. But if it happens, I'd hope that Hertz would take steps to improve Dollar Thrifty's service—and its own. All the car-rental companies, like the airlines, have been moving towards more fee-heavy structures in recent years. That's a bad, anti-consumer trend, and a rental company that starts rolling it back will be making a big step towards winning more business travellers' loyalty. How about making an E-Z pass toll device standard on every rental in areas that have toll roads? One can only dream.

Top of the Town 2012
Loudmouths Who Shouldn't Have Been Muzzled
Editor's Choice
(tie) Mike Littwin, Denver Post, and Kenny Be, Westword
With the (likely) retirement of Tom Tancredo and (definite) imprisonment of Douglas Bruce, many of Colorado's public figures—unlike those in the rest of the country—have actually been quiet and mostly agreeable lately. So this year we've decided to give a hat-tip to the recently and unfortunately shelved loud mouths of Mike Littwin and Kenny Be. These two dogged commentators never shied away from rousing the rabble or skewering the skewer-able, and their uniquely opinionated voices will be sorely missed.

FishbowlDC Interview With Knight Kiplinger
Say hello to Knight Kiplinger, Editor in Chief, Kiplinger publishing (Kiplinger Letters, Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, Kiplinger.com). We spoke by phone this morning just after he did his ritualistic yoga exercises. He spends 20 minutes each morning doing stretches and poses to put himself in a good frame of mind. "I don't watch much TV," he noted quickly into the call, saying the Fishbowl interview wasn't necessarily ideal for someone who doesn't watch a lot of TV. (We'll keep that in mind.) "I'm not older than dirt, but I came up through newspaper journalism and print journalism so that's kind of my bias in my news diet." Asked about the current state of journalism, Kiplinger's thoughts are enlightening. POLITICO reporters, you may want to stop reading now. "I think we've seen the decline of careful consideration, the emphasis is on quick response, the immediate reaction," Kiplinger said. "The best journalism is not always the fast journalism. The first analysis is often not carefully considered. Good journalism takes time. It takes reporting. We've seen a decline of in-depth reporting. A newspaper reporter had eight or ten hours to do hard reporting, deep reporting, talking to many, many sources before writing a story. The internet has forced everyone to work faster and that sometimes undercuts journalistic quality. So that is the problem." Here's the point where WaPo's Ezra Klein should stop reading. "These days a lot of young journalists, they all want to be columnists, giving the world their opinions," he said. "Journalists try to build themselves into a brand, into a marketable entity that can move from periodical to periodical. Of course, that's what columnists have always done." Kiplinger sees danger signs. "With too much emphasis on celebrity, the content of journalism gets short shrift. A bigger threat to quality journalism is the unwillingness of young adults to pay for journalism. Older adults will still pay for content. They comprise the subscription-paying readership." Kiplinger still gets two newspapers at home: WaPo and TWT. At the office he reads WSJ and NYT. "I look through them very rapidly," he says of WaPo and TWT, saying he prefers to read them in print than online and can do so faster. He particularly enjoys WaPo's Metro section. He's also a relentless reader of obituaries. "In my next life I am going to be an obit writer," he says. Moving along, he has grave concerns about the industry: "Revenue on internet is not sustaining high quality journalism," he said. But on a positive note, he added, "the internet has given everyone [a medium]…that is a powerful force, a positive force. This trend will continue." On the future of journalism: "There will be fewer jobs in traditional journalism for young journalists who want to be the reporter, who want to tell the story of modern life. I don't want to sound like a curmudgeon. We're in the throws of a great democratization of media. Editing today is a luxury many media feel they can't afford. You don't have the level of trust that you once had. Traditional media were gatekeepers to information. They were the mandarins who selected what they thought the public needed to know." Kiplinger is on Twitter, but he's not enthralled by it. "Yeah I tweet," he said. "If you went to my Twitter account you'd see I tweet infrequently. I try to restrain my tweets to kind of broader observations about things going on in the economy. I work very hard to condense and distill. I don't have a Twitter support staff as a lot of semi-celebrity journalists do." As an aside, he notes…"There are some people who think I am a celebrity. I just think I'm an ink-stained wretch. I'm not a hyperactive tweeter." On family…He's a longtime choral singer and met his wife in the Washington Chorus in 1979. Incidentally, his daughter also met her fiance in the Washington Chorus (a detail reported in WaPo earlier this week). Facebook? "I don't do Facebook at all. I don't think the world is that interested in my daily life, and even if they are, I don't want to share it with them." Finally, I asked…what one piece of wisdom should every journalist know? He replied, "There's no substitute for hard reporting."
If you were a carbonated beverage, which would you be?
Schweppes Tonic Water (with real quinine), my teenage favorite, even before I started adding gin.
How often do you Google yourself?
Rarely (Just noticed they now have photos of the search subject, too!)
What's the worst thing you've ever said to an editor/boss (or vice versa)?
To the owner of the first newspaper I worked for, at 22 years old: "Reporters ought to earn as much as the layout guys with their razor blades and paste pots." (He disagreed.)
You have an intriguing name. What is the story behind it?
It was my maternal grandmother's maiden name (full name: Daphne Knight). No relation to the Knight publishing family, darn it.
Who is your favorite working journalist and why?
David Wessel, economics editor of The Wall Street Journal. No one explains complex economic issues with more clarity and common sense than Wessel.
Do you have a favorite word?
I'm told I overuse "unconscionable," so maybe that's it.
Who would you rather have dinner with – CNN's Candy Crowley, ABC's Martha Raddatz or Fox News' Megyn Kelly? Tell us why.
I'm sure each of them would be a fine dinner companion, but I'd rather dine with Renee Montagne of NPR, co-host of "Morning Edition." She's a brainy journalist (Phi Beta from Berkeley), award-winning correspondent in South Africa and Afghanistan, adept anchor—and she sounds like a very nice person (based on interviews I hear regularly, and ones I've done with her while I was in the DC studio and she was at NPR West in California).
The Earth's human population is dying out and you must save it. You will spend a romantic evening with either Scandal's Kerry Washington, any of the women from FNC's "The Five" or MSNBC's S.E. Cupp. Who will it be? (None is not an option.)
I don't know any of these women on sight (don't watch much TV), so you pick one for my blind date, and I'm sure she and I will be able to save the Earth together. [Okay, we'll play your game. We pick Helen Thomas. That's what you get for not answering.]
What swear word do you use most often? "Damn!"…used sparingly.
You've just been told the big news: You get to have your own Sunday morning talk show. Who will be on your roundtable? (Pick four journalists or pundits types.)
Cokie Roberts, David Frum, Kathleen Parker, David Brooks. (Back-ups for when someone is traveling or out sick: Peggy Noonan and E. J. Dionne.)
On a serious note for a moment, if you could have dinner with a person who has died, who would it be?
My zany and wise mother, Gogo Kiplinger (1919-2007)

The Connections Project provides mentoring through the Certificate in Youth and Theology program. To learn more about this program click here. Participants in the Certificate program are connected with a personal mentor for one year with whom they meet at least nine times. Mentors and mentees share the joys and challenges of youth ministry and reflect with other mentors/mentee pairs on what makes for effective youth ministry.
Mentors are veterans in youth ministry and or theologians specializing in youth ministry. The mentor is selected in consultation with the mentee and with the mentee's Sr. Pastor. In some cases mentors and mentees live in the same area and meet together in person. In other cases, online technology including video conferencing connects mentors and mentees who live far from one another to meet in person.
The Connections Project pays for mentors to attend a Princeton Forum on Youth Ministry with their menthe. In addition, The Connections Project provides online webseminars for mentor/mentee pairs. Mentors and Mentees also help shape a national study on mentoring for youth ministry.

Why Nevis? Some folks really come to the Caribbean for the excitement -- the pounding kettle drums, the ebullient carnivals and the rum-soaked beach parties. If peace and quiet is your thing, take a look at Nevis, a quaint outpost about 200 miles southeast of Puerto Rico. Unlike some of its Caribbean brethren, Nevis is short on drama and long on simple pleasures. If lying on the beach somehow gets old, you might climb the island's (safely extinct) volcano, poke around the rainforest or maybe even explore the ruins of British-era plantations -- all peacefully. Life of an "Expat" "The beginning of this goes back to when Barbara and I spent our honeymoon in Nassau and we liked the temp- erature," says Ted Cox. Ted, a retired arch- itect from Connecticut, and his wife are in their fourth decade as residents of Nevis. His journey from fair-weather honeymooner to expat elder statesman wound through much of the Caribbean. |
"We used to take vacations every year with our two children, starting in Puerto Rico, Antigua, Montserrat and St. Croix," Ted says. The couple nearly bought property in Montserrat but reconsidered at the last minute. "The following year, that would be 1970," he recalls, "we came to Nevis." On the advice of a fellow expat, the Coxes snapped up four acres -- an unusually large plot for an outsider -- with sea views stretching to the western horizon. But that was just the beginning of the couple's resettlement. "We brought in electric service," Ted says. "And in those days telephone was almost unheard of; you had to go to town to make a telephone call. But we brought the utilities in and tapped into the waterline. And then we started building a house -- slowly. The words 'schedule' and 'completion date' don't exist here. The Nevitians live to be 120, and they just can't understand why we knock ourselves out trying to do things on time. But after a while, you begin to think they have a point." The couple's two-bedroom home, designed by Ted and later supplemented by an adjacent guesthouse, was finally finished in the late '70s. In 1988, the couple moved to the island full time. Ted promptly launched a second career as a farmer. "I went seriously into pineapples," he says. "I had something like 1,400 plants." Nowadays, he raises bananas, citrus and coffee, primarily to stock the couple's kitchen. For fun, there's the beach, golf and a low-key social life. "Leaving the United States -- that's a major change whether you're retiring or not," Ted says. "But for me, everything worked out fine. I have no regrets at all."

When Survivor first hit the airwaves nine years ago, it kick-started a reality TV craze that still shows no signs of slowing down. The show launched the phrase "voted off the island" into pop culture vernacular. In its initial two seasons, it gave familiar faces like Richard Hatch and Elisabeth Hasselbeck (then Filarski) their first tastes of fame. But after 19 installments, how can a formulaic competition stay fresh? Sure there are a few twists—splitting tribes up by race, pitting the haves versus the have-nots—but true fans know the sequence of a season. Compete, vote off, merge, compete, vote off, anoint a winner. What keeps the show from jumping the shark, host Jeff Probst says, is the one thing that has no formula and is completely unpredictable: real people.
Truth is stranger than fiction, and no matter how well a character is scripted, sometimes real people surprise us more. This season, that real person is named Russell, Probst says. "Short little fella with a cap—looks a little bit like a garden gnome or a leprechaun. He's the closest thing to evil that we've had on the show," he says. "He's a fascinating human being to watch operate because, when it comes to Survivor anyway, he appears to have no moral code. That gives him a tremendous advantage, because sooner or later most people, even on Survivor , will say something to the effect of 'Well, I can't do that. That's too far.' Russell doesn't have any line." Case in point: To get in good with his tribemates, or to earn their pity, he claimed he was a fireman from New Orleans who lost his dog in Hurricane Katrina. The truth? He owns an oil company in Texas. He doesn't even own a dog. "He's fascinating, sometimes repulsive, but fascinating to watch," Probst says. "The question is, when is he going to get his? Is he going to get his?" So far, this season has been memorable for the evil of another character too. Mother Nature. Days of rain have plagued the contestants, one of which got so dehydrated he passed out—three times—and had to be pulled from the game. On his blog , Probst wrote of that contestant: "I was honestly concerned that we were losing him. Forever." Though it's aired more than 250 episodes and introduced us to more than 300 contestants, Survivor is as good as new. It is, or so CBS claims, a game about outwitting, outplaying and outlasting. After 19 seasons, the show clearly has done just that. Published on November 09, 2009

The earning potential of online marketing has made the previously out-of-reach idea of working from home a reality for a lot of people in the last few years.
A successful internet marketer can earn a more-than-sufficient income to provide for his or her family. For that reason; more and more people in the prime of their earning life are seizing the opportunity offered by online marketing.
Working at home isn't quite as easy as it looks, though.
Here's why:
- Our lives are divided into compartments. We have our "at home" compartment, our "at work" compartment, our "dinner with the in-laws" compartment, our "poker night with the boys" compartment, etc. We think, speak, act, react — LIVE — in each of our life's compartments in different ways.
It's natural and much easier to keep life's compartments separated when they take place at different physical locations. Most people don't realize just how "compartmentalized" their lives really are until they try blending the "at-work" compartment with the "at-home" compartment.
The following three work-at-home tips have been taken from personal experience. I've been there, and done that. And I didn't learn this information in a classroom or from a book or at the feet of a marketing master.
This is experience speaking!
Tip #1 - Designate a Physical/Mental Workspace
You may have already tried working in the family room or at the kitchen table where family life is happening all around you. It doesn't work very well, does it?
Designating "workspace" in your home is the basis of successfully working from home. The ultimate work-at-home space is a separate room designated as your "home office," with a door that locks from the inside.
That's not always possible.
Choose a corner of the room in your home that gets the least traffic. It doesn't have to be huge. All you need is a space large enough to hold a table or desk, your computer, a telephone, and a chair.
Tip #2 - Set Work Hours and Work Rules
One of the reasons why you wanted to work from home in the first place was so you didn't have to drag yourself out of your nice, warm bed at the crack of dawn so you could make it to work at a specified time. You still don't.
But you DO need to establish regular work hours. The Internet stays open 24/7, so your regular work hours can happen at anytime you wish. But they do have to happen, and they must happen on a regular basis if you want to successfully work from home.
If you don't work enough hours, your business suffers.
If you work too many hours, your personal life suffers.
Balance is needed. A 40-hour work week is reasonable. Establish your own work schedule. Include at least, but no more than, 40 hours of work in each 7-day period.
From the cradle to the grave, humans are expected to follow whatever set of rules are imposed upon us. If we don't follow those rules, penalties of some kind are imposed upon us.
We're geared to follow rules. So it's important that you make work-at-home rules.
Tip #3 - Retrain Yourself, Your Friends, and Your Family
Now for the really hard part. You DO have a job! You DO have to work! Just because you don't get up, get dressed, and leave home DOESN'T mean you're unemployed.
- Train Yourself: Accept the fact that if you don't get your work done, you won't earn any money. Abide by your own work-at-home rules, and enforce those rules for yourself first. If you're abiding by the rules, it's easier to convince others to also abide by them.
- Train Your Friends: The answer to interruptions by neighbors and friends is: "I'm sorry. I can't. I'm working. Maybe later." Eventually, your friends will get the idea. Really.
- Train Your Family: If you think it's tough to train yourself and tough to train your friends, you "ain't seen nuttin' yet." Training your family is the toughest item on this list — maybe on any list.
Family relationships are difficult, to say the very least. They're complicated, too. Saying, "I'm sorry, I can't right now — I'm working" to your significant other or your child can and will produce all kinds of responses, including shouting and tears.
Still, families can be trained at least to the point of keeping interruptions to a minimum. Family training should be undertaken with a great deal of patience. After all, these people gave you a reason to live in the first place.
Put these three work-at-home tips into action. You'll improve your work-at-home experience as well as your work-at-home productivity.
Yours In Knowledge And Success,
Phyllis Jordan

NEW YORK Early indications suggest domestic reinforcing bar prices could get a boost in March, sources say, a move that could be the first significant rattle in a market that has seen prices frozen all winter long.
Grade 60 No. 5 rebar prices have continued to hold unchanged through January and February at around $34 per hundredweight ($680 per ton) f.o.b. mill, but with many projecting an uptick in ferrous scrap prices in March, the steel market is widely expecting published rebar prices to strengthen in coming weeks, mill and service center sources said.
"We are about to raise our price," one mill source told AMM, attributing the planned price hike to forecast scrap strength as well as improved demand. "Were seeing product move at an increased rate over the last three weeks."
A rebar distributor agreed the pricing situation appears to be swinging toward the upside after months of stability.
"Theres strength in this puppy. It stuns me," the distributor said.
Multiple buyer sources said representatives at the major mills have indicated plans to raise published rebar prices, though the size of the expected price increases will largely depend on how much Chicago scrap prices move, sources said.
Most mills raw material surcharges for rebar are based on AMMs consumer buying price for shredded automotive scrap in Chicago. Its too early to say where scrap prices will settle in March, but some steel mill buyers and ferrous scrap suppliers have said they expect scrap prices to inch back up to January levels due to renewed supply tightness ( amm.com, Feb. 19).
In February, scrap prices in the Chicago market settled down $9 for most grades. Mills did not ease published rebar prices, however, despite the decrease in scrap costs and a winter-related pullback in demand. Nucor Corp., for example, lowered its scrap surcharge for rebar by $9 per ton in February but raised its base price by the same amount, leaving net prices for rebar flat ( amm.com, Feb. 15).
"The last week of January up until February has been real slow," a rebar fabricator in the Midwest said of recent demand. "That work is just not there, and even if it is, the margins are so cheap, its not worth it (to place large orders). Wed rather go broke with our feet on the desk than breaking our backs outside."
But business may be heating up as the weather thaws, and the mills appear to be banking on improved order books.
"Its been a wet winter. Aint a whole lot of work getting done," said the mill source. "(But) things in the rebar world are slightly sticking up. People are getting ready for the spring."
"There are varying degrees of optimism about the market. And its not just the seasonality of it," one market source added. "(Theres) not exuberance, definitely not that, but theres a big difference between everyone having some degree of optimism as opposed to some degree of pessimism."
Spokeswomen at Gerdau Long Steel North America and Commercial Metals Co. declined to comment, while a spokeswoman for Nucor did not immediately return calls for comment.

Instead, scientists use the moment magnitude scale, developed in the 1970s. An earthquake produces many types of waves, which radiate from its epicenter and move with a wide variety of frequencies. Compared to the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale can account for more types of these waves, and at more frequencies. It is thus better able to estimate the total energy of earthquakes, and can also relate these observations to the physical features of a fault.
"The moment magnitude is a measure that relates more to what is going on at the fault itself," says Robert van der Hilst, the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Geophysics at MIT. "It is a very good measure of the total energy that is being radiated."
Richter logic
To be sure, the Richter scale, introduced by Charles Richter and Beno Gutenberg, employs a clear logic. Some types of seismic waves, called body waves, travel through the interior of the Earth with relatively high frequency but less force. By contrast, surface waves move across the surface of the Earth with lower frequency but more destructive force.
Richter and Gutenberg measured these waves by using seismographs, delicate instruments featuring a balance and a scroll of paper; when the Earth moves, a seismograph records the amplitude, or height, of a wave. The larger the recorded waves, the bigger the earthquake — a 7.0 earthquake is 10 times as large as a 6.0 — and the more energy it releases. "The fundamental thing is that you relate what you measure for a particular seismic arrival in the seismogram directly to the magnitude of the earthquake," van der Hilst says.
The Richter scale has two shortcomings, however. Seismographs are set to measure seismic waves at specific frequencies — say, at a frequency of one hertz, or a period of one second, for a type of body wave called a P-wave; or 50 millihertz, a period of 20 seconds, for surface waves. But unusually massive earthquakes — those well beyond 7.0 — emit most of their energy at even lower frequencies and are more powerful than typical surface waves indicate, so the amplitudes of these waves do not represent the energy they release.
To measure all the energy produced by a colossal earthquake, seismologists sometimes have to wait days or weeks to analyze the vibrations of the entire Earth. "The Richter-scale magnitude breaks down because a single measurement of a particular seismic phase may not represent the total energy of the earthquake," van der Hilst says. Seismologists call this problem "saturation."
Measuring the fault's slip
The second shortcoming of the Richter scale, van der Hilst says, is that "it doesn't relate directly to the physical properties of the fault zone." By contrast, the moment magnitude scale, developed by seismologists Thomas Hanks and Hiroo Kanamori, can be related to the distance a fault has slipped, the size of the area in which that slip has occurred, and the strength of the physical material, such as rock, in which the movement has occurred.
Using seismic data for an earthquake from a variety of sensors, researchers can infer what they call a "moment tensor," a three-dimensional plot of both a fault's orientation and the direction in which it slipped, as well as the distance the fault slipped. This is then used to calculate the total energy released by the earthquake, which the moment magnitude scale's numbers represent. The moment magnitude scale is calibrated so that it roughly matches the Richter scale's numbers up to 7.0 or so. But unlike the Richter scale, the moment magnitude scale does not suffer from the saturation problem, and can account for the energy released by unexpectedly large earthquakes.
These unexpectedly large earthquakes — like Japan's — often involve faults that scientists did not previously know about. By linking measurements of earthquake size to the dynamics of fault movements, the moment magnitude scale helps seismologists better understand where and why really large earthquakes happen. "We are learning that the geometry of many of these faults is very complicated," van der Hilst says, adding: "That changes our understanding of what a maximum earthquake could be in a certain area." Which, for millions of people, could be very valuable knowledge.

My wife dropped our D5100 and now the camera will not take pictures and has a black screen. How do you fix this issue?
The 99% likely best answer is, of course, to send it to a competent camera repairer. However, just in case, and very very unlikely, try the following.
Whats happening is that the shutter stays closed, it is a quite normal issue on D5100, to fix to as follows: You can check that this is happening by setting camera to video and you will see no screen but sound will be recorded. Set to manual mode, set minimun shutter speed as so shutter stays open for a while, during this, hold camera with one hand knock it with the other one until shutter un-stucks. It will work and now you owe me a beer. Steve |
If you don't know what are you doing while you are trying to fix your camera, do not fix it your self. Take it to the service immediately, because you can make more damage then it is currently. |

01/09/2011 - The incredible, edible egg - or at least those coming from two rodent-infested Iowa egg farms - caused 1,937 traceable illnesses from Salmonella enteritidis last year, which means the contaminated eggs probably sickened nearly 60,000 people nationwide.Thankfully, there's no evidence anyone died from the outbreak - unlike other recent outbreaks linked to peanuts and packaged celery, blamed in at least 14 deaths. But there was also no evidence that one of the farms, Wright County Egg, had ever been inspected by the Food and Drug Administration.There are no straight lines in Washington - ask anyone who has driven there, or tried to accomplish anything big. Still, there's probably a direct connection between last summer's massive recall of half a billion eggs and last month's remarkable turn of events, in which Congress passed a major advance in consumer protection with a bipartisan majority that overwhelmed the usual rants against regulation and efforts at a Senate filibuster.Lots of factors helped push the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act over the finish line more than a dozen years after it was first proposed - including an unusual alliance that teamed consumer advocates, victims groups, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Philadelphia's Pew Charitable Trusts.***Read the full article Consumer 10.0: Food Safety Finally Gets Its Due on The Philadelphia Inquirer's Web site.

"I've been smoking cigars for less than a year but in that time I have smoked quite a few different brands, strengths and sizes. Like a lot of other CI customers I purchased a box of La Diferencia Cubana Robustos while they were on one of Joe's Daily Deals. I was not disappointed. I truly enjoy these cigars. They are smooth but with a tasty flavor. The ash holds on for about an inch or more so you know it is well constructed. For all you newbies to cigars this is one you can trust. For those that are regular cigar smokers (and becoming one) you know you can rely on this La Diferencia Cubana - it's made by Hendrik Kelner maker of Davidoff and AVO - what's not to like???? Thanks CI."
"This was my first box of cigars I bought when I started getting into cigars when I was 18. To be honest at first they were very good. Too mild with a weak draw. After 7 months in my humidor I started to try them again and they were amazing. Very distinct earthy taste with a draw as smooth as butter!! Being a cheap cigar, just give it the time to mature in your humidor and you will be amazed."
"Quite a nice, if a bit mild, cigar. Well made, easy draw, even burn, pleasant flavour. I'm usually not much of a mild cigar smoker, often having a Gurkha Triple Ligero with my early morning coffee, but this one is different. Enough flavour to be interesting and not at all over powering. A very nice cigar. Would I pay retail for it? Not for an instant! But the CI price makes it a bargain."
"Not a bad cigar for the price. Great for golf, yard work or a quick smoke. The only drawback, pieces of tobacco in your mouth almost every time you draw."
"I have this friend at work who loves a mild smoke so I shared a token from my newly aquired box (La Diferencia Cubana) and we went out back to see which way the wind was blowin. I know that smile of satisfaction when I see it! The draw is almost a little too good as this churchill smokes up quickly. This may be resolved by a little more time in my humidor before the next cigar. The entire smoke is mild and mellow from start to finish and like a well layed satin sheet there is not a wrinkle in it! Truely a bargain!"
"An outstanding deal!I have been a cigar smoker for 12 years and, have often spent 3 times this $ on cigars not nearly this good!I only buy from CI, you guys are on it....thanks"
"I smoked one of these right out of the box, La Diferencia Cubana and it wasn't bad. I let the rest age in my humidor for about 3 or 4 weeks and they are great. Nothing I'd have with a single malt, but a very solid everyday smoke."
"I tried these cause they were onsale. You know what they were excellent. I decided on the churchills. I dont smoke often but these are changing that fact. I am still trying out cigars to find my favorites, these la differencia cubana's just made my short list. I recommend to anyone who likes a mild to moderate taste. Thanks CI for the great prices and opening my eyes to new flavors!!!!"
"I scooped up a box of robustos (La Diferencia Cubana) on the recent special- they're nice cigars, I'm very satisfied with 'em. Thumbs up"
"Since these were "the deal of the week" last week, and I've been looking for something short and mild for a daily smoke, I decided to give 'em a try. What a nice surprise! My standard week-end and after-dinner puros are Reyes "Indios 2003 Presidentes" and RP's "ITC Super Fuertes", and these tasty little La Diferencia's fill the daily gap perfectly. Well constructed, smooth burning, with a very easy finish. Perfect after work, out on the boat, or just waxing the car. Thanks CI ... you guys really know how to pick a winner. Every time!"
"Wow! What else can be said?( La Diferencia Cubana ) I got the Robusto's on last week's sale and I enjoyed my first one today after sitting in the humidor a couple days. What a wonderful hour spent this morning with my paper out on the deck. This beauty was smooth, and finished great. Thanks for a great deal on a fine smoke."
"These cigars draw nicely and taste good. Very mild. However, part of the reason they draw nicely is that they're short filler cigars. If you smoke them down to the nub, be prepared to spit out tobacco chunks."
"A very mild yet tasty smoke. Excellent price for 20. Cu Avana watch out. Very similiar except the Cubana does not have the lemony taste of the Cu Avana. This cigar is not for those who like a full bodied powerhouse."
"I ordered the Presidente version of these and i was impressed with the size of these cigars..(8X50). The first one i smoked had a very nice aroma and lasted a good 3 hours. it kinda had notes of coffee and roasting almonds aroma. These cubanas are well worth the cost, but are just a bit too mild for me as are other light colored wrapper cigars. I usually purchase Maduro wrapped cigars for the stronger and bolder flavor and aroma, but i couldn't pass up the great deal offered on these by CI."
"I ordered a box of La Diferencia Cubana's and they are most certainly nice smoke. Very smooth, hint of pepper and leather with thick plumes of smoke. Definitely a keeper! They should age nicely (if you can wait that long)."
"I have been wondering about these for some time now. Finally bought some. A certain sweetness in the aroma, its very nice. Mild, huge amounts of smoke, burns well and pretty even, tastes pretty decent. They are very spongy feeling but well constructed. if you take your time with it, it won't crush down between your fingers. I like them."
"This is a very good mild cigar. The construction and draw is good, and it burns evenly. If you were a fan of the 5 Star brand (before they changed the blend and ruined it) you'll really like this cigar. There are occasional blemishes on the wrapper but for the price you can't go wrong."
"The draw on the torpedo sucks, or more accurately...doesn't suck enough. Taste is OK. What you expect from this ilk of cigar. Pleasant enough but certainly not spectacular in an way. Really a toss up between these, 1876 Reserve, and all other manner of cheap mild cigars. They have their place as a perhaps a morning smoke, or an in betweener that you might let go out after 2 or 3 inches, Buy these if they are cheap and you know you're getting just a decent quite mild beater cigar "
"I bought a bundle of the Presidente size in order to have a fairly long-lasting cigar for the front porch on a summer day. My first impression was favorable, the cigar looks pretty good with a very light wrapper. Construction isn't as top-notch as cigars costing nearly five bones each, but I didn't expect it to be. Other than an occasional soft spot, though, the cigar is pretty fair. I did find that it's better to use a punch than to use a guillotine due to the loose bits from some of the shorter filler. All in all these are decent, mild cigars. A little time in the humidor will only make them better. I believe I got my money's worth!"
"Got these back when they were about 30 bucks for a box of 20. Nice little ''everyday smokes''. You get what you pay for really, Mine were not wrapped the best but its not really a big problem with the price I paid. Taste is pretty good its very mild but not a lot of nuances of flavors, Mostly tobacco and the occasional hit of white pepper. Overall good bargain smoke."
"I love these and the price is right on. I mostly enjoy a mild and mellow smoke. I love my Cinco Vega golds, my Rocky Connecticuts and my Olivias and these La Diferencias are very close in flavor, burn and draw at half the price. The 8 inch presidentes are long lasting and pure bliss right to the finger frying end."
"OUTSTANDING cigar for the price. I love my 5 vegas and Rockys. These La Differencia Cubanas stand up favorably to both. I've smoked several and all were consistent as far as flavor, draw and burn go. I might even like these better than some of my Rockys and at half the price. La Differencias are a HOME RUN and reasonable enought to burn on a regular basis."
"I got two of these in the Po'Boy sampler II. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Spent a month in the humidor before smoking the first. Smooth mild smoke. Some coffee/earthiness in it. For the price, this will be an excellent everyday smoke for some. Ensure it spends some time in the humidor first after arrival (at least a week or 2)."
"Thought I'd pair this up with a single malt like Ardbeg and I got to say this was a good choice. Lots of smoke and I think this is absolutely a home run. It really pairs well with the scotch and for about the some price. Definitely worth the investment. Good job CI! Thanks."
"Had one right out of the box. Not the best construction, but clean burn. Excellent value to share with friends or an everyday."
"Wonderful even burning, creamy mild cigar! Mild all the way through - no harsh peppery aftertaste. Just a bit sweet and delightful. I will buy more for sure!"
"Good flavor, but rolled too loosely."
"Excellent cigar, at a very low price. Love it."
"For the money this is an excellent every day cigar! Good flavor that compares to the more expensive brands! I will certainly order again! James in LA"

Maybe time to let Bartman move on with his life in peace??
Gene Wojciechowski: Isn't it about time we left Bartman alone? - ESPN Chicago
your sig makes no sense (i think)
Gotta love ESPN commentary on ESPN programming.
Bartman should've never been blamed. The Cubs made that inning harder than it had to be, not Bartman.
Yes... Bartman should be left alone...
I still blame the goat.:jimlad:
It's about time to let this die. Just look at all the other hands going for the ball just like he was:
I bet those people thank God every night it was not their life that was ruined. I think any true Cubs fan will blame the team not Bartman for that loss. If Alex Gonzalez fields that ground ball that would have been a double play to get out of the inning we would never have the kind of talk about Bartman that we do now. In fact I feel so bad for this guy I want him to be in the parade when the Cubs finally do win the WS just to show that everyone can finally let this silly grudge go once and for all.
Let's be real though...that is impossible. Therefore, if I were Bartman, I'd capitalize off it as much as possible.Quote:
Bartman doesn't want an apology or a 60-minute film. All he really wants is to be forgotten.
That should get the fire glowing!

The Ross County Sheriff has gotten to the bottom of reports of gunshots being fired over the last two nights in the Frankfort area, from what sounded like an automatic rifle.
Gunshots were heard between 1am-1:30am Monday and 9:30pm and 10pm Monday.
Sheriff George Lavender says it turns out, that a local man home on military leave, was simply taking target practice. The sheriff told the man he would not be able to continue his target practice that late at night, due to disturbing the peace.
