Nisswa, Minnesota: Grand View Lodge and Good Ol' Days Family Resort
Guests might come to Grand View Lodge for the three spectacular 18-hole golf courses, but they stay for the quality accommodations and views. Choose from townhomes, villas, cabins or clubhouse suites; we love the cabins lining Roy Lake (pictured). In addition to golf, the resort offers a beach, spa and indoor water park. See Midwest Living's review. (866) 801-2951; grandviewlodge.com

Ashland, Nebraska: Eugene T. Mahoney State Park
Eugene T. Mahoney State Park is all about amenities: trail rides, miniature golf, a driving range, a water park (pictured), pedal boats, theater performances and an ice rink in winter. The grounds are as manicured as a golf course, and the cabin clusters look like suburban subdivisions. The huge Peter Kiewit Lodge features motel-style rooms and a full restaurant with great views of the Platte River Valley. See Midwest Living's review. (402) 944-2523; outdoornebraska.org

(800) 642-5363; maddens.com
The 13 cabins are nice enough, but it's the culinary offerings that steal the show at Lost Lake Lodge. Arrive by boat or car for fancy multi-course meals of seared king salmon, New York strip steak or even grilled wild boar paired with one of 40-plus wines available by the glass. See Midwest Living's review. (800) 450-2681; lostlake.com

Lewiston, Michigan: Garland Lodge and Resort and Tee Lake Resort
If you've ever wondered what "sophisticated rustic" looks like, book a room at the woodsy Garland Lodge and Resort (pictured) in northeast Michigan. The massive Up North lodge includes accents like earthy tile floors and oversize stained-glass windows. Four championship golf courses surround the cottages, villas and condos. If golf isn't your thing, saddle up for a horseback ride or explore the Au Sable river in a canoe or raft. See Midwest Living's review. (877) 442-7526; garlandusa.com
New owners at Tee Lake Resort have transformed four 1930s-era lakeside cabins into fun themed spaces with headboards fashioned from old doors and vintage dishes used as accents.

Sandusky, Ohio, and Wisconsin Dells: Kalahari Resort
Whether you come for the massive water attractions or the African-theme rooms, your visit to a Kalahari Resort will clearly be family-oriented. Indoor water parks at the resort's two Midwest locations are among the nation's largest. We especially enjoyed the unique Flow Rider surfing attraction. With more than a half-dozen restaurants on-site, the resorts also offer plenty of eating options -- from by-the-pool grille to nicer eateries or room service. But be sure to try the pizza at least once; it's delicious and affordably feeds a family. See Midwest Living's review. (877) 525-2427; kalahariresorts.com

Custer, South Dakota: Custer State Park Resort
Four historic lodges plus a variety of cabins nestle among 71,000 acres of mountains at Custer State Park. We enjoyed our stay at the State Game Lodge, a 1920 stone and wood masterpiece surrounded by ponderosa pine forest. Activities include hiking, boat rentals, horseback riding, safari jeep tours and a chuck wagon cookout. Be sure to drive the spectacular, winding Needles Highway and walk around lovely Sylvan Lake (pictured). For a glimpse of wildlife, ogle the bison wandering on the Wildlife Loop.

Traverse City, Michigan: Grand Traverse Resort and Spa
A golfer's dream destination, Grand Traverse Resort and Spa boasts three championship courses, including one that has been rated Michigan's most challenging: the par-72 Bear designed by Jack Nicklaus. But golfing isn't the only draw at this classy 600-room destination. Head up to the 16th floor for culinary paradise at The Aerie, where seasonal ingredients flavor a menu that changes weekly. While there, enjoy a glass of Michigan wine and watch the sun sink over Grand Traverse Bay. See Midwest Living's review. (800) 236-1577; grandtraverseresort.com

Pequot Lakes, Minnesota: Clamshell Beach Resort
Over the last 10 years, this family-owned resort - founded in 1938 - has added eight cottages, a lodge with game room, two swimming pools and a spa room. Its small-resort vibe shows in touches like a welcome board listing all the guests and their hometowns, but the spacious new cottages help Clamshell Beach Resort compete with bigger resorts in the area. Guests can borrow croquet sets, tennis racquets and beach toys; take a paddleboat or canoe out on Clamshell Lake; golf at the adjoining Whitefish Golf Club; or check out the movie library and game room. But bring your own toiletries, beach towels and coffee. See Midwest Living's review. (888) 252-6743; clamshellbeachresort.com

Birchwood, Wisconsin: Stout's Island Lodge
The Stout family brought their lumber fortune and summer-home dreams from Chicago to this 1,800-acre haven on Red Cedar Lake. Frank D. Stout modeled Stout's Island Lodge after the Adirondack resorts in upstate New York. Today, the 1912 lodge still sports gleaming, wide-plank hardwood floors; framed black-and-white family photographs; and wool spreads on some of the king-size beds. Its 43 rooms capture turn-of-the-20th-century class, and some of the eight cabins have twin beds in sleeping porches. Spend the day canoeing, fishing, playing croquet or just curling up with a good book. In the evening, dine on garden-fresh soups, tasty burgers and cooked-to-order steaks. See Midwest Living's review. (715) 354-3646; stoutsislandlodge.com
Tags: - Photo courtesy of Big Cedar Lodge.
Ridgedale, Missouri: Big Cedar Lodge
This upscale property on the southern tip of Table Rock Lake features hotel rooms in three lodges (with rooms overlooking the lake, of course), but beautiful, newly-renovated log cabins hidden among the pine trees are the big draw. Wooden decks even have their own gas grills, and room service will gladly provide all the fixings for a do-it-yourself barbeque, so you dine in seclusion while watching boats laze on the water below. If you want to do more than just relax, programs for both kids and adults will keep you entertained. New in 2013: Standup paddleboard yoga, yoga hikes, a 62-foot luxury dinner yacht and revamped kids' programs. See Midwest Living's review. (800) 225-6343; bigcedar.com

French Lick, Indiana: French Lick Resort
A $500 million renovation transformed the century-old French Lick Resort — renowned for the ornate, 600-foot glass dome at West Baden Springs Hotel — back into a luxury destination. A free 24-hour shuttle transports resort guests between two hotels, three golf courses, two high-end spas, casino, horse stable and indoor sports complex. For a livelier scene, we recommend the French Lick Springs Hotel, home of the casino as well as family-friendly activities such as movie parties and indoor and outdoor swimming.

Many of the resort's 70 rooms and 46 condo units offer stunning views of Leech Lake. Outdoorsy families love the sandy beach, pontoon rides and fishing clinics. If the weather gets bad, head indoors to the Wii room, two-lane bowling alley or on-site Aveda spa. The wild-rice walleye cakes at 502 Restaurant and Bar (pictured) are special.

Marshall, Indiana: Turkey Run Inn
Sitting on a rocking chair at Indiana's Turkey Run State Park inn feels surprisingly like taking refuge deep in the forest. Maybe that's why quiet types flock here—bird-watchers, hikers (13 miles of trails) and history buffs eager to explore the covered bridges of Parke County (about 70 miles west of Indianapolis). Built of brick and stone, the inn anchors one of Indiana's oldest state parks. Patchwork quilts cover comfy beds in 57 modest guest rooms, and common areas are cozy with carved wood furniture and crackling fireplaces. The only thing that seems to break the tranquility is the bustling Narrows Restaurant, which serves up comfort food like breaded pork tenderloins and moist fried chicken.

FANTASTIC! Best celiac friendly I've been to! Plan on coming here in the future.
This is one of my most favorite places to go. They do a great job making things GlutenFree and are so thoughtful with always changing their gloves.
Everything here is gluten free, including the sauces. The only item that has gluten are the flour or wheat tortilla shells. They have tortilla shells made with corn, that are gluten free. If you ask for gluten free shells or say you have an allergy everyone in the line goes and washes their hands and then put on new gloves. The food is amazing too!
9737 Macleod Trail, Calgary, AB T2J, Canada
Great place! Very friendly and accommodating, would def recommend it! Wish we had one where I lived ;)
405 Peachtree Pkwy #165, Cumming, GA 30041
Loved it!! Great food and very friendly and knowledgeable. The owner was there and chatted with us; made sure they changed their gloves and that everything was handled appropriately. We WILL definitely be back!!
1336 Foothill Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84108
I swear, they get happy, when you tell them you need gluten free. Excellent procedures to prevent cross contamination, I love eating here!
9530 Feather Grass Lane, Fort Worth, TX 76177
Everything gluten free but tortilla and deserts.
2376 Red Cliffs Dr, St George, UT 84790
They are always so nice and knowledgeable about gluten containing items and trading precautions. This is my favorite place to eat because I can go there and eat without getting sick and I have tons of options
115 Hwy 291, Lee's Summit, MO 64063
This is a restaurantthat they make the food in front of you at the front.Change gloves, have corn tortilla for burrito. Yummy. Charge extra for guacamole and sour cream, which is a little cheap!
597 E 1000 N, Spanish Fork, UT 84660
Good food. I see a lot of cross contamination going on. Okay depending on your sensitivity. Not celiac friendly.
5615 Colleyville Blvd #390, Colleyville, TX 76034
I have repeatedly witnessed employees touch flour tortillas and then dip the same hands into cheese, lettuce, etc. Despite the fact there are tongs placed in each bin. I expressed my concerns about cross contamination to the manager. He refused to acknowledge that this practice is cross contamination, nor did he apologize. This staff is most definitely NOT GIG trained. Infuriating, given that they have tent cards on each table stating they are.
get the caramel flan. so good. also love their nachos more than everything else. salads aren't bad and the enchiladas are tasty.
4361 S State St, Murray, UT 84107
Staff washed hands, put on new gloves and followed my order through. Great food!
3340 N Eagle Rd, Meridian, ID 83646
decent food, nothing spectacular. they are trained on how the handle gf orders.
405 Peachtree Pkwy #165, Cumming, GA 30041
I was so excited to eat here. It's sad that it is so rare that places offer gluten free chips! I had to get the nachos just because I could. And they did not disappoint. So much flavor and generous portions. When I asked about gluten free the server immediately started changing his gloves and explained that ALL ingredients except the flour tortillas are gluten free. The owner has Celiac and has trained the staff well. Safe and delicious!
1657 Skyline Dr, South Ogden, UT 84405
Great selection. Inform server if you have celiac. We frequently stop here
405 Peachtree Pkwy #165, Cumming, GA 30041
Great food and staff is very knowledgable! The owner is Celiac!!
1336 Foothill Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84108
as soon as I asked for a corn tortilla they asked me if I wss gluten free and they promptly changed gloves and answered all my questions about dressing.
3340 N Eagle Rd, Meridian, ID 83646
The employees always change their gloves when making my food. This is my favorite place to eat at. No worries when I go here! Thank you Costa Vida!
1657 Skyline Dr, South Ogden, UT 84405
I have been several times and they are great about changing their gloves ect.
1621 N State St, Orem, UT 84057
Love how careful they are. They never make you feel bad either!
1091 N Bluff St, St George, UT 84770
The staff there was so Incredibly amazing about changing gloves and ensuring the meal was gf. I love this place. With that said, Go for something other than the sweet pork, It was beyond too sweet for me. Great pick for lunch.
405 Peachtree Pkwy #165, Cumming, GA 30041
Owner has celiac and is very careful. I love the enchiladas on corn tortillas and we can even have the chips! Tons of choices. Love it.
2045 West Highway 40, Vernal, UT 84078
We're a regular at this restaurant. they do a great job from the second they learn you're Celiac. No cross contamination. Good food!
1010 E 2100 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84106-3590
Really knowledgeable about preparing a GF meal.
405 Peachtree Pkwy #165, Cumming, GA 30041
Very friendly and knowledgable of gluten free procedures. The owner has celiac.
10369 S State St, Sandy, UT 84070
Very gf conscious. The guy washed his hands, and changed his gloves twice. I was very impressed.
597 E 1000 N, Spanish Fork, UT 84660
I have never gotten sick. They take precautions as to not cross contaminate. You can see everything they do.
1091 N Bluff St, St George, UT 84770
Can't say enough great things about the staff and their handling of our gluten free dinner. It was the first time I felt 100% confident in the staff's knowledge of GF protocol. Definitely stop in!
2376 Red Cliffs Dr, St George, UT 84790
Yum! Great fresh mex food with friendly, celiac friendly, knowledgeable service. So nice to be able to enjoy a safe, yummy meal!
485 N 2nd E, Rexburg, ID 83440
Excellent! You order at the counter and they prepare your food in front of you. They make gf corn tortillas at the beginning of the day on a clean grill before they make the flour ones. They change their gloves when you tell them you are gf. All fillings are gluten free. I loved this place.
1621 N State St, Orem, UT 84057
They immediately change their gloves when you say you are GF! And they keep the GF corn tortillas separate from the flour tortillas! Try the pork enchiladas--so good!
3812 West 7800 South, West Jordan, UT 84088
I do not know what is wrong with this particular Costa Vida...but I have been cross contaminated 2 times now. Beware of the workers at this establishment, they do not speak English and they do not care that you have Celiac Disease and can get very ill.
231 W Quinn Rd, Pocatello, ID 83202
I had a yummy mango chicken salad. The server knew what was gluten & what wasn't. He was going to start my husband's lunch at the same time but when he found out he didn't need gluten free, he finished mine first so there would be no cross contamination. Also had a yummy flan for dessert!
115 Hwy 291, Lee's Summit, MO 64063
Amazing place. Absolutely delicious. Decor was great, service was friendly and above and beyond. What's NOT gluten free here? (Kidding. But almost everything on the menu is GF !)
1091 N Bluff St, St George, UT 84770
Loved loved LOVED this place! Not only is the food amazing but the girl there was so accommodating to my gluten free needs! I didn't even have to ask her to change her gloves, as soon as I said "I heard you have gluten free food here" she told me "yes let me changed gloves and wash my hands" she was so sweet I love gonna be my number 1 go to place wen I come to Utah!
10005 Commons St #280, Lone Tree, CO 80124
Once you tell the staff you have a gluten allergy they are very aware and change gloves. Their nachos are the best! I'm a very sensitive celiac and have never been sick here. We're regulars :-)
1200 N University Ave, Provo, UT 84604
I see that they are gig trained but I got so glutened by them. I'm in agony. I had to ask them a lot of things to be sure that there was no cross contamination, but I guess it wasn't enough. Either their workers touch the ingredients to the tortillas (which I saw one do after I was wrung up), they share common cutting services, or they don't really know what makes a food glyren free. I'm extremely upset and should've been tipped off when they aid, "so thst means you. Any h do dairy..." Gig trained-yeah right! They don't follow it if they are. Do not eat here if you have celiac disease. They are set up like chipotle and I never get duck from there, so they obviously have a lot to learn!
485 N 2nd E, Rexburg, ID 83440
they were so nice and accommodating. they all understood what I needed. the food was great.
190 South 400 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
Very Impressed with the care taken to eliminate cross contamination... Change of gloves, seperation work station, etc. The food is fresh tasting and comparable to a Chipotle or Moe's in style. I ordered and greatly enjoyed the tacos. The corn tortillas were unusually good (let's be honest, soft corn tortillas are normally dismal). My kids (also celiacs) ordered tacos as well. We shared queso which was on the thin side but tasty. I would eat here again in a heartbeat.
2045 West Highway 40, Vernal, UT 84078
Great food! Only a few things actually contain gluten-most of the menu is gluten free to start with.
1621 N State St, Orem, UT 84057
We eat here once a week at least my favorite restaurant so careful with gluten free
1010 E 2100 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84106-3590
This location is very well educated on GF practices. They were very careful not to cross contaminate on both cooking surfaces and utensils. All of their options are great! It was refreshing to walk into a restaurant and not have them give you a blank look when you ask about gf practices.
3340 N Eagle Rd, Meridian, ID 83646
very good food :) fast food, good price (for 3 people),love the pork! I gave it a four star because of the theme, when I walk in I fell like I am at California (ocean) then when I walk in the bathroom the theme goes with the food. Score on rice milk too!
1336 Foothill Dr, Salt Lake City, UT 84108
Always awesome with giving special attention to gluten free! Brenda is the best manager ever!!
4009 E Main St, Farmington, NM 87402
We unfortunately did not receive the glove changing and my daughter's "GF" soup came with a flour tortilla which I only intercepted after she had taken a few bites. Terrible service, to say the very least. So, if you like hipsters that ignore you when you remind them three times that it needs to be GF, this is the place for you. Really too bad because food is pretty good.
190 South 400 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84101
I placed a phone order and the woman on the line was very patient though a little hard to understand. We ordered burritos and asked for corn tortillas. The portions were good and the food tasted real and fresh though it was bland and pretty bare bones. I would have liked more options and more authentic flavors but overall it was good and no one got sick so I'd eat there again.
485 N 2nd E, Rexburg, ID 83440
Sooooooo delicious and very cautious! Plus you watch them make it so it puts your nerves at ease.
21152 E Rittenhouse Rd, Queen Creek, AZ 85142
I gave it a three due to the great service on the GF side. The guy making my food asked if he needed to change his gloves due to Celiac. On the other hand I didn't care for the food. I will go back to Chipotle any day over Costa Vida.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
New England Streamers
Flat-Winged Streamers
Raske's New England Streamers
By Bob Skehan
I've had a number of discussions with anglers from various parts of the world online and in person regarding streamers, their effectiveness in their home waters, and favorite local patterns. One style of streamer that is very effective here in Maine in the smaller casting sizes, is the flatwing streamer. The feature that defines this style, the flat wing, normally consists of a flank feather from some species of duck tied flat on top of the hook, instead of in the classic "upright" manner that the classic New England Streamer patterns specify.
Some of the early New England Streamers were termed "Biplane", which are essentially the same tying style, though the wing material normally consisted of standard saddle hackle instead of the duck flank feather. Dr. J. Hubert Sanborn, of Waterville, Maine, created a classic biplane pattern called the "Nine-Three" the wing of which consisted of three medium-green hackles tied flat on top of the hook, over which were two black hackles tied in the upright style. Combining the best of both styles, this time-tested pattern is still used widely today on Maine lakes and ponds, particularly in early spring.
Below are 15 patterns which are popular here in Maine, though are probably little known or used in the rest of the world. The 16th pattern, Ralph's Rascal , was originated by Mr. Ralph Webster, of Monmouth, Maine, and voted as the winner of the prestigious Raske's Rascal Competition at the FF@ Maine Clave '97 Streamer Competition.

Nice fit
Love the fit and length in long. The button slit is too small for the button though. Other than that, I love them!
September 26, 2013
I fell in love with the Limited's exact stretch pants last year and bought as many pairs as I could get my hands on (navy, black, khaki, brown, gray). I was so excited to see new colors this year, so I ordered a blue pair and a gray striped pair. I'm 5'7" and normally I wear a 6 but I was so dissapointed to find that these pants didn't have enought "rise" for me and were very uncomfortable. I don't think these pants were made for women with hips. I'll be looking elsewhere for work pants.
September 23, 2013
Cute fit, bad quality
I just bought these pants in black, tan, and this grayish color and really loved them.
After wearing the black ones 3 times, I washed them in the hand wash/gentle cycle and they are now all out of shape, puckered up in the waist and seams, and faded. I let them line dry after seeing how bad they looked after the gently cycle.
So there goes a brand new pair of pants.
The instructions said they can be machine washed, but better results with drycleaning.
I would suggest dry cleaning them if you purchase these pants. I hope they turn out ok when I take my other pairs of pants to the drycleaners.
September 14, 2013
great fit
I have been buying these pants for a while but I may not purchase them again. The last couple pairs I bought the hems unraveled in about six months. I also purchased crop pants and the waist band came a part. I've always gotten good wear out of my Limited wardrobe but even today at work I noticed the hem is coming out of the pencil skirt I have on that I just bought in the spring. The quality seems to not be what it use to be.
September 3, 2013
What happened to the grey?
I bought a bunch of the exact stretch pants a few years ago and loved them for work. When I had to go up a size, I wanted to get the same pants I had put just a size up. When I put these grey pants next to my two-year-old exact stretch grey pants, the new ones look VERY blue. The quality and fit and still fine (yay!) but I am not a fan of the color.
August 29, 2013
Money well spent! Found them TTS for Limited size.
Owned these pants for 2 years and still love them!
August 26, 2013
Too big!
My sister got me a pair of Limited pants in a size 2 and they fit perfectly. They are the best work pants I have ever owned so I decided to buy these. I ordered a size 2 and they are way too big! They don't fit me smoothly like the model. I am going to exchange them for a size 0 and maybe that will help. The material is nice and I like the way the way they look on the model so I hope a smaller size will work on me.
August 2, 2013
best pants ever!
I will never buy dress pants from anywhere else ever again. I have had one pair now for well over a year and have washed them numerous times...they have not worn out or damaged at all. When you first put them on, they may feel snug, but after about an hour, they stretch out to the exact fit. I would never buy pants with any stretch in them because they would always get so big, but these are amazing pants and very very flattering!

Cahill and Ryu set for Opening Series Game 2
D-backs eye split, Dodgers going for second straight in Sydney finale
SYDNEY -- The first one is in the books. Next is the getaway matinee that will close out Opening Series 2014 and set up a long trip back to America to get the remainder of the 162-game slate going for the rest of Major League Baseball.
Saturday morning (Saturday night in Australia) at Sydney Cricket Ground was one to remember and savor. There was a threat of a thunderstorm that didn't materialize, but it did delay the opening of the 2014 season by 14 minutes. There were swirling winds that confused outfielders and batters alike. There were 38,266 fans loving the game, particularly when foul balls came their way in the iconic Cricket Ground stands.
And there were the Dodgers and D-backs, who will go at it again at 10:10 p.m. Saturday night ET (7:10 p.m. Saturday night PT), which will be Sunday at 1:10 p.m. Sydney time.
"It feels good," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said after Saturday's 3-1 win.
"We came a long way to get one. It's always good to get the first one. You don't want to be dragging around and letting momentum get started in the other direction. You want to start things off on a good foot. I don't know if there's a whole lot of meaning to it other than it's a win and you come to win every day. So at this point we can't win them all unless we win the first one, so here we are."
And here are the Dodgers with left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu facing off against D-backs right-hander Trevor Cahill in the second game after reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw defeated D-backs lefty Wade Miley in Game 1.
For the D-backs, it will be essential to cash in on opportunities.
Manager Kirk Gibson pointed out the fact that the D-backs had chances early to push a few across against Kershaw, and this came a night after Arizona was shut out by the Australian national team in an exhibition game at the Cricket Ground.
"It was kind of like we started out last night," Gibson said after Saturday's 3-1 loss. "We didn't get anything out of it, though. We battled through the game. Our pitching was good. Theirs was good. We'll have to get back at it tomorrow."
Meanwhile, we'll see what Mother Nature decides to do for the second game.
Saturday saw an early towering fly ball to left field off the bat of Dodgers outfielder Scott Van Slyke get stalled by the wind and hit the base of the wall, fooling Mark Trumbo, who climbed the fence to try to haul it back in. Later, Van Slyke's slicing ball down the right-field line stopped slicing and went over the fence for a home run he didn't expect. Later still, Yasiel Puig hit a rocket to right-center that looked to be gone until it was in the glove of center fielder A.J. Pollock -- well before the warning track.
As of the end of this morning's game, the forecast for tonight (Sunday afternoon in Australia) was better, about 80 degrees Fahrenheit and partly cloudy.
The D-backs hope it will be better for the standings, since they don't want to face a trans-Pacific flight and more Spring Training already trailing by two games in the division.
"We have 161 games left," Gibson said. "You try to learn some things that they're trying to do against us, and hopefully we'll show better [today]."
Dodgers: Ryu a good No. 2
• Kershaw was asked if he offered any advice to Ryu, who went 14-8 with a 3.00 ERA last year in his first MLB season after playing in Korea, about following up Kershaw's Opening Day start. Kershaw didn't hesitate to answer.
"Ryu doesn't need any advice," Kershaw said. "He proved he can do it. With Ryu, you just know what you're going to get. He has such a great feel. He's pretty consistent. You hear a lot of things [about] transitioning from Korean baseball over to here, and he didn't have any problems last year. And I don't expect any problems this year, either. He'll be fine."
• Shortstop Hanley Ramirez keyed the Dodgers' offense in 2013 and led the Majors (minimum 300 at-bats) in slugging percentage (.638) while ranking second in batting average (.345) and seventh in on-base percentage (.402). Ramirez was limited to just 86 games during the regular season because of injuries, but he led the Dodgers to a 55-31 record when he was in the lineup. Ramirez batted .455 (15-for-33) with three doubles, four homers and nine RBIs in nine games against Arizona last season, while posting a .561 on-base percentage and a .909 slugging mark.
D-backs: Cahill gets the call
• Cahill will try to build on his second half of last year, when he went 5-0 with a 2.70 ERA (15 earned runs in 50 innings pitched). The right-hander said he will try to tone down the importance of the game.
"It's the first game of the year, so that's always a little bit more nerve-racking," Cahill said of the start. "It being in Sydney in kind of a bigger scale, it almost feels like a playoff atmosphere. I think the biggest thing is going out and treating it like any other game. If you think about it too much you probably won't be successful. Try to relax and have fun. Try to treat it like any other game."
• First baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit .302/.401/.551 with 36 homers and 125 RBIs last year to finish second in the NL MVP Award voting, so it wasn't surprising to see him square up ball after ball in Saturday's season opener. Goldschmidt finished the game 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored.
"True to his form, he made his adjustments during the game and barreled some balls," Gibson said. "Not enough, though."
Worth noting
• Ryu has had some cultural experiences in Sydney. When asked if he saw the sights, he said, "I saw a koala." When asked if he ate any kangaroo meat, he said, "I'll stick to beef." He also likes the idea of MLB opening the season outside of America, but would like to see it expand to his homeland. "Opening a season in Korea is a fantastic idea," he said. "And I will make it my personal wish to do that."
• D-backs international history also includes player development trips to Brazil, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Venezuela, as well as serving as hosts for the World Baseball Classic in 2006 and 2013.

Home Automation: The next frontier for UX?
If there is one thing that UX and UI designers should take away from this year's Consumer Electronics Show, it is that the next big thing is home automation, and we better be ready for it.
From dishwashers with digital interfaces to smartphone apps that can manage an entire home heating and cooling system, this shift in home appliances means that these new digital interfaces will need just as much TLC as a new web app.
These transitions present some incredible opportunities but also plenty of challenges. Our team at ÄKTA sat down to discuss the matter and here are our predictions for opportunities and challenges that will come from home automation:
Breakdown of current silos
We imagine that this shift will create a breakdown of silos. We will no longer see "product design" and "digital UX" as two different pieces of the building process. Rather, we will start to focus on a more holistic user experience that covers everything from the physical product to the digital interface.
Because of this breakdown, cross-system and cross-platform areas of expertise will become invaluable. Take for example a smart washer by LG that we spotted at CES 2013. A repairperson brought in to fix this machine will now need to know how to fix network systems in addition to plumbing systems.
"Big Data" takes on a whole new meaning
Companies that develop household appliances will have access to an incredible amount of data about users and their experiences. Information can be gathered on entirely new systems and in new ways. Devices like dishwashers, that we previously could only observe people using, can now tell us directly how they're being utilized.
This new data will allow UX professionals to gather more insight into how products are used in real life and will provide opportunities to create a more personalized user experience. Nest, the "learning thermostat," is a great example of putting this data to use. This is a proactive device (rather than a passive "dumb" machine) that users "teach" their patterns for a few days. Then, Nest Sense automatically adjusts settings to save you energy based on your habits.
The promise of the "smart grid"
Loosely defined as adding a digital layer to electric utilities, home automation brings the concept of the "smart grid" into consumers' homes. By controlling large appliances digitally, homeowners should be able to set them to run at the time of day when energy prices are at their lowest. HVAC systems like forced air and zoned heating will also be able to work together within a home to be energy efficient while maintaining a desired temperature.
There will be some incredible opportunities for synchronization of systems and lots of potential for the development of systems that help consumers save energy and money. In fact, when we talked to Lowes, they told us this is something they're already working on building into their new Iris Hub technology that connects your home's broadband router with smart home devices. "We already have integrations to know what a consumer's cost is per-kilowatt, and can allow consumers to control their devices to optimize their usage based upon their rate plans," Mick Koster, Lowes' Director of Operations for Iris SmartHome told us. " This will all become more automated as we go forward and the data is key to enabling these rich experiences for customers."
An appliance is no longer just a stand-alone product
In an increasingly connected world, consumers will expect all digital products to be just as connected. The introduction of new connectivity options could present challenges to industries unused to being part of a larger network.
Industries that are used to their product or products playing a role as a piece of a smaller environment, like a home's laundry room, will now need to take a much larger environment into account, like the entire house. Philips Hue is a great example of this challenge. The wireless lighting system can recreate any color in the spectrum, and touts the fact that you can open one of your own personal photos within the Hue app, click a color anywhere within the image, and Hue can recreate it in real life. A wonderfully imaginative concept, but what about the rest of the room? Again, Philips needs to think bigger picture and take the rest of the environment into account, including paint colors, natural lighting, and even how cloudy it is outside at any given time.
"Big Brother" takes on a whole new meaning
With great amounts of data comes great responsibility. As new data is gathered from home automation, it raises a number of questions about what will happen with this information: Who will own the data that is being gathered? How will this intimate look into consumers' homes impact our privacy and security?
We're already seeing businesses get pinned for improper data use. Path has recently been fined $800,000 by the FTC over claims it deceived users by collecting personal information from their address books without knowledge or consent. But it's not just the government, consumers are becoming more concerned with privacy as well. The dust-up over Instagram's privacy policy back in December is a great example. The question becomes, how long will it take regulations and consumers to catch up to new methods of data gathering?
Fragmentation could slow progress
Developing standards for these new types of technology will be critical to ensure that an Apple washing machine can work with a Samsung dryer and create a smooth user experience. While there is plenty of room for companies to make a name in home automation, competition will also ramp up quickly.
Just as the broad adoption of mobile payments has been slowed by the lack of an industry standard (NFC vs. QR codes), developing industry standards for interfaces and system communication could slow progress. As Loew's Koster, puts it, "The user experience is critical to consumer adoption of these smart home systems. It has to be simple to use and intuitive. That challenge multiples with each new device that I connect across the home."
We know this transition won't happen overnight (after all, most consumers don't get a new washer just because a new generation machine hits the marketplace) but it will happen eventually, so why not be ready for it?
We recommend that UX professionals take lessons that we've learned from the previous digital revolution and apply them here to be successful. What are some lessons you think could be applicable to this home automation evolution?

I've read your posts and can relate. I recently contracted the team at Pure Audio Video to custom design an outdoor entertainment system for my house. My family and I host a lot of events in our home. We needed a system that blended into the landscape, sounded good, and could hold up in the South Florida humidity. PAV provided a great design that camouflaged with my landscape, had a limited lifetime warranty, and sounded amazing. My guests are constantly complimenting me on how clear the sound is outside. I highly recommend the Pure Audio Video team to anyone interested in an outdoor entertainment system. Visit them at www.pureaudiovideo.com .

I recently hired the team at Pure Audio Video to install a home automation system for my elderly parents living in Pompano Beach. Unlike many companies I've met, they are licensed and insured. They took the time to understand my parent's lifestyle and what they needed before recommending the appropriate system, and their installation team was courteous and professional. Now I have peace of mind knowing that my loved ones are comfortable and safe. Contact them today at www.pureaudiovideo.com or (954)-581-4434.

I recently hired the team at Pure Audio Video to install an automation system for my Miami office. Unlike other companies I've met, they are licensed and insured. I appreciated that the owners showed up with the installation team to ensure that the process went smoothly. Their expertise allowed them to provide exactly what I wanted. I recommend them to anyone wanting a home or office automation system. Visit them at www.pureaudiovideo.com or call (954)-581-4434.
I am a UI designer for a company that specializes in programming these smart devices. (We program Crestron systems) and I can tell you that this industry has seriously undervalued UX for a VERY long time. Take a minute and research "Home Automation User Interfaces" and you'll see what I mean. Device specific interfaces (like the UI for the refrigerator in the photo above) are better than whole home automation interfaces, because the manufacturer can spend forever on that single device. But when entire homes are automated, a dizzying array of devices with different connection methods (each with it's own device-specific protocol) are integrated into one system, it is often done by a small team (3-5 people per home) and it becomes very challenging to program these devices reliably *and* provide high-quality user experience for the entire home automation system. The company I work for is one of the only companies in our industry that places a premium on UX.
I am glad to read that UX and home automation are moving forward, because frankly, it's long over-due.
Ow man this is indeed crucial for innovation: "Developing standards for these new types of technology will be critical to ensure that an Apple washing machine can work with a Samsung dryer ...".
Next to standards they should make API's available for developers to speed the progress.
Future here we come :-)

A sexual act where, the female is in the doggy position with her ass as far in the air as possible, the male crouches over her facing opposite of her head points his penis down with his hand and inserts it into the females pussy, hence like the turn down exhaust on a car.
That bitch loves the Turn-down position, its good for me cause I don't have to look at her face.

"Kill Your Darlings" is about a murder in 1944 that draws three great poets together: Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs. In the film, Radcliffe participates in a gay love scene as he incarnates Ginsburg.
"It's interesting that it's deemed shocking,"Radcliffe told MTV. For me, there's something very strange about that because we see straight sex scenes all the time. We've seen gay sex scenes before. I don't know why a gay sex scene should be any more shocking than a straight sex scene. Or both of them are equally un-shocking."
This isn't the first time the "Harry Potter" star plays a controversial role. From 2007 to 2009 the actor performed as Alan Strang in "Equus," a play about a deranged boy who has a pathological fascination with horses. In the play, Radcliffe appeared completely nude.
"It was something new," Radcliffe told E! News when asked about the gay love scene. "But you know what, we shot that whole scene in maybe an hour and a half so it was incredibly fast-paced. I didn't really have time to stop to think and worry about it."
Radcliffe has been a long time supporter of gay rights, and has worked closely with the Trevor Project, a national organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention serviced to the LGBT community.

Megan V.HairMedium BrownNormal HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairExcellent Quick TanI loved these towels! I can use two and cover my whole body, and have a nice, even tan. I felt that they didn't smell as bad as some self tanning lotions and creams that I've tried smell, and they didn't leave me orange! I will definitely be ordering more!!

DreaNYComodynes Self-tanning TowelettesI first tried this product in 2006 and I fell in love with it. I ordered it from Soft Surroundings. I emailed them to see if they still sold it and was told no. I googled it and I was so very happy to see Folica has it. They really work and the color is flawless and I get many compliments on my tan. I definately would recommend this to all of my friends.Whoever put this together is a genius.posted May 29, 2009Link to this post
ShannonPittsburgh, PADefinitely Worth Trying On Your SkinI think how well these towels work, like most sunless tanning products depend on your skin- oily, dry, pale or fair...Its not going to look good on everyone!I always used a tanning bed and started noticing sun spots so looked up Comodynes as an alternative to save my skin and still have color. They worked perfect for me! Color looks natural enough, not streaky or splotchy, they dont stink, and the color fades slow. I even work out and hit the sauna without a problem keeping the color looking good! I do still tan once a week to keep a little bit of a base color. Its at least better than my normal 3-4 days a week!posted Oct 13, 2008Link to this post
CarrieComodyesThese towelettes are not much different than the standard creams and foams. They do have a distinct tanning lotion smell, although, more subtle than other brands. Tan seems to be even with little streaking.posted Jun 11, 2008Link to this post
MaryLos Angeles, CALove Iti love this product. its the best self tanner, read it in a magazine and got it . Works greatposted Dec 26, 2007Link to this post
Mary B.Gilbert, AzBest Thing Out There - Hands DownIve tried so many products over the last 20 years I lost count. Until I found Comodynes, I used the "show where it goes" tanning lotion. It was great color, but the hassle of the long drying time was annoying. This product dries quickly - I can put it on then do my hair and makeup first and it will be dry and ready for me to get dressed in less than 10 minutes.It is not orange at all - and believe me, Ive been orange. As far as "streaky" goes: If you are careful about the application and really pay attention to be sure you cover all areas evenly, there are no streaks or bare spots.posted May 3, 2007Link to this post

PamComodynes Tanning TowelettesI HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT. IT IS CERTAINLY BETTER THAN LOTIONS AND HAS VERY LITTLE OF THAT SMELL.

KimTexasGreat For Folks Who BurnI have used these towels for two years now and love them!They deposit a nice color and if used correctly, one towel can cover the entire body. (I dont usually use them on my face). You can adjust the depth of your tan by using them daily or several times a week. Be sure to exfoliate first to get the best possible coverage!

All that you can't leave behind- to me-
Fragmentation, it is not a step back, almost a step onward,but there is this feeling of the heart beat,a distinctive imprint for each song,giving this virtual sense of the waving in the ocean of sounds. ' And that's make an innovative album through fragmentation .Maybe you can educate my mind' 'Elevation' . ' Love is not the only baggage you can bring'' Walk on'. Melancholic album,sometimes it is,for some grooves of piano and guitar.' New York ,and part of lyrics : 'In New York I lost it all to you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out my mid life crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
But you know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance, lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat'. In Grace song we find the balance and the defense for particular situations that may occour in life :'Grace makes beauty out of ugly things .

This album was released in October 2000, wasn;t it? With a new millennium dawning, U2 were working on another reinvention or return to a sort of stripped-down and more classic approach. Instead of experimenting with humming electronic sounds they concentrated on the main vocabulary of rock music: bass, drums, guitars and vocals. "Walk On" is an extraordinary example of U2;s regained preference to use more traditional song structures to create grand melodies and big emotions. The track was dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi, but the theme of travelling is also relevant on a more general level. "Beautiful Day" is also one of the most meaningful songs. With The Edge playing such a distinctive and unique guitar riff that only The Edge can deliver that way, it is obvious that U2 decided to include their trademark sounds again. Listening to "Kite" I can feel that U2 put their whole heart and soul in the music. Bono forms overwhelming melodies that change between softness and brilliant power. "In the time when new media/Was the big idea..." he closes from the angle of an observer. This big idea has taken the world on exciting journeys so far and it has brought us to the place where we are right now.

As sweet as honey
I believe this album is like eating a sweet chocolate, is so soft, so easygoing and at the same time it gets to the heart with those lyrics about love and life. It is the second best romantic album for me before achtung baby, music to fall in love or at least to remember memories from past. Every piece of music you do, it's a big important part of me and all the fans we love you. Congratulations guys. Congratulations U2.
