Is your dog getting ants in his pants? If you are like most dog owners, the plunge of winter temperatures has dampened your enthusiasm for outdoor activity, causing angst for your cooped-up canine. Many animal behavioral specialists reported that dogs that didn't receive regular exercise during the winter became antsy and reactive in the spring and some developed unwanted behavioral patterns. Additionally, it is not good for a dog's health to be active in the summer and a couch-potato in the winter. For optimum mental and physical health, many veterinarians recommend that dogs receive 45 minutes to an hour of daily, consistent exercise and enrichment, broken up into shorter intervals.
Even if we want the best for our canine companions, winter presents challenges that make it difficult to keep up a regular exercise routine for our dogs. If you are wondering how to keep your dog active, watch this video. In it, Dr. Sarah gives tips and advice from venturing outside to transforming your indoor space into a canine activity center. Most activities do not require fancy technology or major space overhauls – just some creativity and a sense of fun.
Now is a great time to develop better habits for your canine companion. Just like in humans, obesity is rampant in America's pet population. When dogs carry too much weight they place an extra strain on all their organs, and they can be at an increased risk for diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure and pancreatitis. Unsurprisingly, excess weight gain can interfere with a pet's quality of life and actually shorten their life span.
Fortunately, dogs respond very well to simple weight-loss programs. By increasing your pet's exercise and reducing the amount of calories he or she eats, you can help reduce your pet's weight and the risk of health problems associated with obesity.
But how do you determine whether or not your dog is overweight? And, if your dog is overweight, what can you do about it? In this short video, Dr. Sarah shows you how to learn if your dog is carrying too much weight, and gives advice on how to help your dog shed unwanted pounds.

EU Members Agree to Cut Greenhouse Gases by 20% by 2020
EU nations announced an ambitious target to cut their greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2020 in one of the boldest moves yet to contain global warming - a goal likely to lead to mandatory limits for cars and pollution permits for airlines.
But the goal - to cut emissions to 20 percent below their 1990 levels - could put a heavy burden on the European Union's newest members, and it was unclear how much of the load wealthier nations would shoulder.
Environment ministers said Tuesday that the target could be pushed up to 30 percent below the 1990 levels if other industrial countries sign on to a global effort.
German Environment Minister Sigmar Gabriel said many European colleagues had spoken of a moral duty toward future generations during the talks in Brussels.
"Those who took the floor said that their daughters asked them exactly what they did when they came to such meetings and did they come home with good results," Gabriel said.
"I think that's a pretty good incentive."
The target, which must be approved at an EU summit next month, is a critical first step in a global warming strategy that must be in place by the time the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012. The protocol requires 35 industrial nations to cut carbon dioxide and other harmful gases collectively by 5 percent from 1990 levels.
The EU ministers called for U.N.-led talks to finish by 2009 to fix a new climate change goal after Kyoto expires. The next agreement should include the United States - which rejected Kyoto - and other less developed polluting countries like India, China, Mexico, Brazil and South Africa.
A U.N. climate official praised the new European target as "a milestone" in efforts to bring down emissions from industrial countries by 60 to 80 percent by mid-century, which scientists say is necessary to curb the Earth's potentially disastrous rising temperatures.
The decision is "quite dramatic," said John Hay, spokesman for the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat in Bonn, Germany. "But it cannot be a stand-alone target." If other nations don't follow suit, he said, "it won't have the desired effect."
Gabriel, who led the talks, said all countries agreed they need to act urgently just to hold down temperature increases below 2 degrees centigrade (3.7 degrees Farentheit) by the end of the century.
EU officials said they would now work on the details of how their target would be shared out and reached.
The ministers gave their broad support to a plan that would bring airlines into the European trading scheme, in which industries that emit too much carbon dioxide must buy credits from energy-efficient industries that meet their own targets. That would include airlines operating flights to European airports, though the United States has warned that such rules could be illegal and it could have grounds to sue.
However, EU ministers voiced concern that emissions trading might push up the cost of flights to remote parts of Europe. Draft rules are due to be tabled later this year.
Discussions also were well advanced on imposing limits on carbon emissions by new cars and encouraging more reliance on wind, solar and possibly nuclear energy rather than on carbon-rich fossil fuels.
"There's an urgent need for improvement in the passenger cars category. Voluntary agreements won't be complied with. We must push for binding standards," Gabriel told the meeting. The ministers will debate the issue of cars fully in June.
Only when there is a global agreement can EU nations fix a final figure for how much carbon each nation must cut. Those discussions on the EU's internal targets could set a base year for reductions other than 1990, Gabriel said.
U.N. figures show Europe is on track to meet its goal of slashing greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto scheme by 8 percent. But that figure was accepted by the EU when it only had 15 members, and its expansion eastward to embrace new members with less developed economies has complicated post-2012 plans.
Even old EU members like Finland, Spain and Denmark said they were concerned about the burden sharing.
Gabriel said the EU was facing a "historic decision" on climate change. He said Germany's parliament was ready to set the pace - with a cut of up to 40 percent.
"There will be some countries like Germany who will see a steeper reduction in greenhouse gases, and other countries, some of them no doubt in eastern Europe, that will have to achieve a lesser reduction in greenhouse gases because of the need to catch up economically," Gabriel said.
EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas said EU nations had come a long way since last March, when leaders gave only vague direction to environment officials, telling them to look at a cut in global carbon dioxide emissions of between 15 and 30 percent.
"Not even the word 'target' was there," he said.

CONCORD, N.C. – It's that time of year when our 2- and 4-cycle SFI/WKA Certified Technical Inspectors and Race Officials have concluded their work for the 2012 Competition Year and begin to look forward to their training and certification requirements for 2013. Because SFI/WKA Certification lasts for two years, about half of our Tech Inspectors and Race Officials will need to be recertified. To give them adequate time to plan to attend a seminar and take the required examinations, WKA is announcing its training schedule for the 2013 Competition Year. Following is the tentative schedule. It also includes trade shows and swap meets where WKA will be present.

Race Official Training – For the second year WKA will be offering specific training for our Master Track and Divisional/Regional racing series officials. Modules have been developed in for Race Officials, Young Driver Development, Track Improvement, Divisional and Series Management, and Marketing and Communications. Participants in the Race Official Training seminars can become WKA Certified Race Officials by taking the SFI/WKA Race Official certification examination. All of WKA's National Race Directors have already become certified.
The 2013 Race Official Training will be offered in conjunction with the WKA national race events at Kershaw, SC in April.
Technical Inspector Training and Certification –See the list above for other dates and locations for Technical Inspection training and certification. The 2012 seminars have been revised and expanded to include the latest technical updates as well as more information on the role of the tech inspector, pre-race tech inspection, tech room procedures and the protest and appeal process. WKA members who wish to become certified as WKA Technical Inspectors will take the SFI/WKA Certification Examination at the conclusion of the seminars. Those passing the open book examination will receive a 2-year WKA/SFI Technical Inspector certification.
To register, call Marie Borsuk at WKA Headquarters, 704-455-1606 x11. Participants must be WKA members in good standing and register in advance to attend.

In a nutshell, "The Convalescent" by Jessica Anthony is a remarkably absurd novel, alternating the contemporary story of Rovar Pfliegman with the history of his ancestral Hungarian people. Rovar is an outcast living just outside a small town in South Carolina. He sells meat (his people are butchers) from an abandoned school bus which doubles as his home. He develops a relationship of sorts with Dr. Monica, a pediatrician who is willing to explore Rovar's various ailments. These include some fascinating dermatological symptoms. The history of his people includes generations of failure, remarkable feats of magical proportions, and some spectacular liaisons.
In some ways, "The Convalescent" has much in common with other novels of outcasts, such as "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. I loved that book when I read it years ago. I confess that I respond to these characters with a little impatience. On the one hand, they're often funny in the sense of how someone quite outside the mainstream interacts with "regular" people. On the other hand, their continued isolation is sad--and I realize that I want them to Get Better, whatever that means. In this case, I didn't sense my interest in Rovar growing once he was introduced. Sometimes a book like this just asks the reader to suspend expectations and enjoy the ride.
Why is this on the Notable Books list? It's creative. Anthony uses words well. She seemed to have a great time creating Rovar and placing him in remarkable situations.
I'll probably recommend this to only a few people. Although it isn't for the mass of readers who expect a novel with a linear plot from introduction to conflict to resolution, it IS for those who prefer to have it all turned upside down from time to time.

The large number of canals, narrow passageways, magnificent bridges and impressive buildings make a visit to Venice an unforgettable experience.
Venice was built on 118 small islands and has about 150 canals and 410 bridges. Nothing is more romantic than a gondola trip along the narrow canals through the city centre. You can enjoy the sun and beautiful buildings while being serenaded by the gondolier. Another attraction is a trip by vaporetto (small water bus) along the Grand Canal. During the trip, you can admire the beautiful mansions built during the period from the 12th to the 18th century.
Venice is, of course, also famous for St. Mark's square and its pigeons. This square also contains the elegant San Marco Tower, which is a clock tower that affords a magnificent view of the city. You must also, of course, visit St. Mark's Cathedral, which is one of the most magnificent cathedrals in Europe. The design of this basilica was based on Basilica of the Apostles in Constantinople and its exterior is covered by magnificent mosaics.

Vemurafenib is approved for treating metastatic melanoma. It works by inhibiting the activity of BRAF, a protein which, when mutated, drives the growth of metastatic melanoma. Vemurafenib is approved specifically for adult patients with a BRAF mutation called V600. It is taken orally (by mouth).
In this study, researchers are assessing the effectiveness of vemurafenib for treating multiple myeloma and solid tumors other than melanoma which contain a BRAF V600 mutation, such as langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Volquez looks to continue success against Cubs
Jackson gets the call as Chicago starts road trip in San Diego
Entering Thursday night, Edinson Volquez had a 5.72 ERA, the highest among qualified starters in the National League. He has been maddeningly inconsistent this season, pitching into the seventh inning just once in the last two months.
And yet, for whatever reason, he's always turned it up a notch when facing the Cubs.
Entering Friday's series opener against Chicago, Volquez is 5-0 with a 2.76 ERA in seven career starts against the Cubs. In those seven starts, his teams are 7-0. Volquez faced Chicago once this year, allowing four runs over 5 2/3 innings on April 30 but picking up the win.
His last outing on Saturday against the Mets was similar. The right-hander labored through five innings but allowed only two runs and won his ninth game of the season.
"That wasn't the most efficient outing," manager Bud Black said afterwards, "but the end result is giving up two runs. And in this day and age, with the way everyone uses their bullpens, it works."
Edwin Jackson, another streaky right-hander, will start for the Cubs. He has an 0-2 record and 6.75 ERA in three August starts, but said after his last outing that he -- like the struggling Cubs -- is not giving up on this season.
"We're out there fighting and battling," he said. "Sometimes things don't work in our favor, sometimes things don't look the best the way we do them. It's a young team and things are going to happen throughout the season. Everybody is giving 110 percent, and at the end of the day, that's all you can ask for."
Cubs: No concrete plans for September callups
Manager Dale Sveum said on Thursday that he has talked to president of baseball operations Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer about prospects that could join the Cubs when rosters expand in September. However, Sveum said that "nothing concrete" has come from the discussions.
No. 3 prospect Jorge Soler and No. 5 prospect Mike Olt are already on the 40-man roster, making them strong candidates to be called up. Top prospect Javier Baez, who has hit .286 with 33 home runs and 100 RBIs in 119 games between Class A Advanced Daytona and Double-A Tennessee, will likely not be called up this year.
"The numbers, sometimes guys do put you in situations where you do start thinking about it, but those are obviously questions and stuff that have to be dealt with with Jed and Theo," Sveum said when asked if Baez could join the Cubs next month. "But I don't see that happening."
Padres: Venable named NL Player of the Week
Though his career-best 15-game hitting streak ended on Monday, Will Venable has still been one of the hottest hitters in the Padres' lineup over the past month. He was rewarded for his efforts on Wednesday when he was named National League Player of the Week, the first weekly honor of his career.
Venable, who was 1-for-4 on Wednesday, hit .406 last week to earn the award. Since July 14, he is hitting .353 (41-for-116) with 18 extra-base hits (nine doubles, two triples, seven homers), 12 RBIs and 19 runs scored.
"We have talked about Will, almost every night we talk about it," Black said on Sunday. "He's playing great baseball, he really is. He really plays the game hard, and you get rewarded for playing the game hard, and he's being rewarded."
Worth noting
• Padres catcher Nick Hundley is 6-for-14 with a homer and a double since his wife gave birth to their daughter, Allison, on Aug. 15.
• The Cubs have faced 14 consecutive right-handed starters and will face a 15th, Volquez, on Friday. Left-hander Eric Stults will start for the Padres on Saturday.
Friday: RHP Edwin Jackson (7-13, 4.89 ERA) vs. RHP Edinson Volquez (9-10, 5.72 ERA)
Saturday: RHP Jeff Samardzija (7-11, 4.12 ERA) vs. LHP Eric Stults (8-10, 3.70 ERA)
Sunday: LHP Chris Rusin (2-3, 3.08 ERA) vs. RHP Andrew Cashner (8-8, 3.74 ERA)

Did a lot of touring in Washington State this year and was wondering about the affect of ethanol gas blend on the engine. Positive negative or neutral? Anyone care yo weigh in on this. I've heard it can affect carburerators and fuel sensors.
Did a lot of touring in Washington State this year and was wondering about the affect of ethanol gas blend on the engine. Positive negative or neutral? Anyone care yo weigh in on this. I've heard it can affect carburerators and fuel sensors.
In the DFW Texas area that is all we have ( unless you drive to one of the E-Free stations in the outlying areas) Nothing bad has happened in 2 years and 26000 miles on my 09 RT. It however does NOT make as much power or mileage . I drive to Gainesville, Tx to get gasoline for lawn equipment and ATV use . It Will screw up small engine carbs.
I think that at this point it's all been designed in to run on the ethanol blends. There have been many threads on it and while it does work the way it scavenges water it has been fouling things up when left to sit untreated. Most report less fuel economy with the ethanol blend.
IMO it's a great idea and your small equipment will thank you for it. Last fall I bought 93 octane "real" gas- no ethanol to over-winter my small engines. Of course I still treated the fuel with stabilizer but the results were very good.
This has all become such a big deal that it is now possible to purchase non-ethanol gas- usually in quarts- at small engine shops because it is so much better all the way around. OM

Also, Stihl and many other manufacturers will not honor warrantys if ethanol is found to be used.
At lowes the other day an old man brought back his brand new Poulan chainsaw.
The guy at the ruturn desk removed the gas cap-took a sniff and said "you have ethanol in here. Your warranty is void."

If all of this is valid, I guess their are no small engine warranties in CA because there is no ethanol free gas available here(except certain very expensive racing fuels).
Every engine in this state runs on ethanol blended gas. I don't like it but that is the way our "special" regulations work.
Riding is the art of throwing yourself at the ground and missing
As far as BMW BIKES from about 1980, E-10 gas is ok. Now E-15 that is totally differant.
small engine shops and dealers are beginning to sell non-ethanol in quart containers from their shelves.

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
-Albert Eienstein
I don't like E10, and I think pretty much everyone agrees that engines would be happier burning pure gasoline, but short of buying specialty fuel for small engines, visiting a marina or an airstrip, owners in many parts of the country have little choice.
I was in the "new chainsaw" market myself last year and in my research, both Stihl and Poulan support use of up to E10 in their current models (while pointing out that they don't like it either...), so on a still-under-warranty Poulan ... I'm not sure what the guy at Lowes was doing .... Can really sniff a gas tank and tell if it is pure gasoline or E10 or does the boutique fuel have a special scent?
Anyway had I been the unhappy Poulan owner I'd have called BS on him:
Can't buy anything that doesn't have SOME alcohol in it. Regulations used to require stations to mark their pumps with alcohol content, but when the laws changed and ALL gasoline had some alcohol content up to 10%, they stopped having to label the pumps as long as it has less than 15%. There are a few places--out in the sticks usually--that still label the pumps and they claim to have alcohol-free fuel, but I think they are a scam (they get their fuel supplies from the same tanker trucks as the other stations). Looks as if E-15 is on the way and manufacturers will have to deal with it. Next-gen bikes will have to run on it.
I don't like alcohol in my fuel and I agree that the engine makes less power and gets lower mileage, but doesn't seem to harm the engine components nowadays. I guess it's one of the prices we pay to live in a complex society.
On the coast of Kansas
Some of them may indeed be a scam - There is one gas station in my (general) area that claims ethanol-free, and I have tested it and indeed it is without ethanol.
The test is simple to perform ....
Here's one description:
If you use a graduated cylinder you can get a very good estimate of the percentage of ethanol that is in the fuel. If there is none the "water level" ( meniscus ) will not move after agitating the mixture and letting it stand........
Jim Bob, while I allow that there may be some stations somewhere that still have a source of alcohol-free gasoline, they are undoubtedly few and far between. I have watched several stations in my area closely over the years and they all seem to use the same two or three suppliers; doesn't seem to matter if the name of the pump says Woods or QT or Conoco or BP or whatever. I find it curiouser and curiouser when I hear the political jibber-jabber about ethanol and E-15 and E-85 and whatever the topic of the day happens to be. I am so cynical any more that I simply assume if a politician's lips are moving, he/she is lying. I hate living like that.
On the coast of Kansas
I found no ill effect from E90 except about a 10% drop in mpg
While driving I have never had a problem with any of the ethanol gas. It wasn't until I parked my Goldwing for a few months as well as my kid's dirt bike. When I came back to use them, no go. Had to rebuild the carbs on all the bikes I parked....that ethanol junk they sell here in GA turned to jello. Sea Foam has done a great job of keeping things clean with that garbage gas.

The fortunate discovery of Marijuana while looking for something unrelated. The resulting find will likely be very old and dry, but is nonetheless gladly received.
Last night I was looking for change in the sofa cushions and found some serendipity weed. Shit was real dry but still did the trick.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville is none too happy with her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian's wife LeAnn Rimes, who the reality star has openly accused of being an unfit stepparent.RIP Jelena and TomKat! Check out the most shocking celebrity splits"I, unfortunately, don't find her to be stable and I don't want her around my kids when Eddie's not there -- or at least the nanny, his parents, someone," Glanville told Us Weekly. "Mason, my eldest, ate some of Le's candies and got extremely ill. And Le's candies are laxatives. It was a big f--king deal for me, and I lost my mind. ... She has one in every purse. Mason found one on the floor and thought it was a Skittle! They don't keep sugar in the house. He thought he finally found candy."Fifty Shades of Lame! Check out TV's unsexiest sex scenesRepresentatives for Rimes deny Glanville's claims, calling the reports "inaccuracies and half-truths." Cibrian also responded to his ex's claims in a statement, explaining that, "while I do not wish to fuel her ever-igniting fire, there is a breaking point where enough is enough.""My wife, LeAnn, continues to be a loving and positive influence on the lives of my sons," Cibrian said. "They are without a doubt lucky to have her... If my ex-wife truly cared about the welfare of our sons, she would stop the constant bashing on an important person in their lives and focus on productive co-parenting to make our blended family the strongest it can be. And she would do so privately."Who do you think's telling the truth?

After six years, Reds, Rangers renew acquaintances
Texas' Perez aims to build on momentum; Cueto looks to bounce back
A lot can change in six years.
The Reds and Rangers last met in June 2007, when Texas took two out of three from Cincinnati.
First-year manager Ron Washington watched his team improve to 26-43 with a pair of victories at Great American Ball Park. Kenny Lofton hit leadoff for the Rangers in the third contest. Frank Catalanotto, Adam Melhuse, Ramon Vazquez and Travis Metcalf filled out the bottom portion of Washington's lineup. Sammy Sosa made a cameo as a pinch-hitter, and Eric Gagne lowered his ERA to 0.50 with a scoreless ninth inning.
The Reds fell to 27-43 after the three-game series. They dropped the finale, 11-4, despite six hits from the middle of their order: Ken Griffey Jr., Adam Dunn and Edwin Encarnacion. A rookie center fielder named Josh Hamilton batted sixth for Cincinnati and went 0-for-3 with a walk.
Only Brandon Phillips, Bronson Arroyo and Homer Bailey remain on the Reds' roster from that series. Bailey was two starts into his Major League career. Joey Votto and Ryan Hanigan were September callups that season. Ian Kinsler is the only current Rangers player who was on the active roster for that series. Nelson Cruz split the season between the big leagues and Triple-A. David Murphy joined the club via a trade later that summer -- for Gagne.
On Friday, the two franchises will reconvene at the Ballpark in Arlington, where they will play a three-game set. They will do so in much different circumstances than the last time they battled. This time, both teams are jockeying for playoff positioning, with Texas fighting Oakland for the American League West lead and Cincinnati eyeballing St. Louis and Pittsburgh in its pursuit of the National League Central crown.
Cincinnati visited the Ballpark in Arlington in 2002 and went 1-2.
In the series opener, the Reds will turn to right-hander Johnny Cueto (4-1, 3.21 ERA), who is coming off of his worst showing of the season. Last Friday in Phoenix, Cueto surrendered seven runs on 11 hits over 4 1/3 innings. It marked the most earned runs he had allowed since Sept. 22, 2010.
"Things did not all go well," Cueto said after his last start via translator Tomas Vera. "Like we say, it's just one outing -- and a bad outing. I have a lot more outings coming. I just have to keep my head up and continue going."
Martin Perez will make his third start of the season for Texas. The 22-year-old southpaw totes a 1-1 record with a 3.65 ERA.
The series will pit Washington against his longtime friend Dusty Baker, the Reds' skipper. Baker served as Washington's mentor when he broke in with the Dodgers in the late '70s.
"We have a longtime relationship and history," Washington said. "He took me under his wing when I got to the big leagues. I call him a lot and ask for advice. I just hope when I make some moves with my players, they deliver. It's going to be fun to see Dusty and play Dusty, but it's not me against Dusty but my players against his players."
Reds: Broxton on the mend
• Pitching coach Bryan Price said it is "very unlikely" that setup man Jonathan Broxton will return from the disabled list on Saturday, the earliest date he is eligible to rejoin the club. Broxton began throwing lightly on Tuesday as he works his way back from a flexor mass strain in his right elbow. Broxton, 2-2 with a 4.33 ERA this season, will initiate a throwing program on Friday.
"He's not pain-free yet," head trainer Paul Lessard said.
• Phillips is expected to return from the paternity list in time for Friday's game.
"That will add to our offense," Baker said. "It will be good to have him back."
Rangers: Perez eyeing consecutive strong starts
• In his first big league outing since late May, Perez limited the Cardinals to two runs on five hits and one walk in seven innings on Saturday. He earned his first victory of the season and needed only 82 pitches. The performance left his skipper impressed.
"You didn't see him lose his presence," Washington said. "He just kept pounding the strike zone, changing speeds and working fast. More than anything, though, his mound presence never changed and never wavered. He never had to calm himself down one bit. He was in charge tonight.
"I've always seen the stuff, but this is the first time he's shown he's a big league pitcher."
Perez stressed the importance of throwing strikes.
"Just throw a lot of strikes and attack the zone early," Perez said. "Don't get behind in the count. You get behind in the count and you get in trouble. I just need to do the same thing I did last week."
• The Rangers return home, where they are 22-15, despite a 4-7 mark on their previous homestand. This time, they'll play nine games against the Reds, Mariners and Astros.
"At that point, we weren't on our game," Murphy said. "We're playing good baseball now, and we tend to play better at home. I know our offense tends to perform better at home. It's always good to be at home for 10 or 11 days. Hopefully, we can take advantage of that and win some games and win some series."
Worth noting
• On Wednesday in Oakland, the Reds were shut out for the fifth time this season. The Reds have blanked their opponent on nine occasions this year.
• The Rangers were retired in order in the first inning on Thursday. They have gone 19 straight games without scoring in the first inning, their longest drought since 2004. They have not had an extra-base hit in the first inning in their past 29 games. That's the longest drought since Oakland went 31 games in 1994. The Rangers have been outscored in the first inning, 34-18. The 18 runs are the fewest in the Majors.

I'm actually impressed. I was afraid this would end up being a train wreck, but it seems like it might actually be an improvement over existing gamepad designs.
But it seems SteamBox will be flexible and open enough such that I can still use a wired 360 pad or a keyboard and mouse should I so desire to do so anyway.

Shop Her Look: A.L.C. Aldridge Dress ($495) in Loden/White Isson Australia Poul Sunglasses ($490) in Black and Bone (888.343.8746) Jerome Dreyfuss The Bobi Bag ($960) in Black and White Watersnake Opening Ceremony Luxor Embellished Mules ($488, 212.219.2688) Shebee Gem You Think You're So Special Earrings ($400) in Grey Beso Beso Iris Ring ($129) 6 of 18 Ruba was particularly taken with Opening Ceremony's embellished mules. "These are the kind of shoe you're not sure if you can pull off--at least that's how I felt!" she says. "Then you realize not only do they go with a lot of different outfits, they make every look way more bitchin'!" 7 of 18 8 of 18 Litke's boxy Cropped Button Down Shirt ($484, available by special order at email@example.com in late July) in Black Floral with White Flowers is a study in contrasts. "I love this cut with a girly print," Ruba says. 9 of 18 Ruba gravitates towards edgy-luxe jewelry, such as Vita Fede's Ultra Mini Double Cubo Ring ($125) in Silver ("it's graphic and a little tough"), Puro Iosselliani's Ring ($179, 713.961.7868) in Gold Plated Sterling Silver with Garnet ("dainty but modern"), Fallon's Classique Biker Chain Cuff ($115), and Celia de Flers' Large Wishbone Bangle ($110) in 18kt Yellow Gold Plated ("love the organic wishbone vibe"). 10 of 18 You could temper Topshop's Ikat Print Shorts ($70) with a solid-hued top, but if you're game for a bolder look, opt for Ruba's suggestion: "These could be amazing with a clashing print on top and ankle-strap heels." 11 of 18 Cool zip detailing makes J Brand's Katrine Cropped Capris ($209) a stylish alternative to blue skinnies. "They're not your average cigarette pant," Ruba says. 12 of 18 A textured pair of ankle boots, like ASOS' Archer Leather Ankle Boots ($94), "go with everything," Ruba says. Plus, a stacked heel means they're comfortable for a night of dancing. 13 of 18 Ruba describes Alexander Wang's Crepe Cutaway Blazer ($695) as "a basic piece that is anything but basic!" We're inclined to agree, thanks to the sharply tailored blazer's cutout details. 14 of 18 Go for retro round shades this season, like Moscot's "playful and classic" Carrington Sunglasses ($275) in Khaki. 15 of 18 Ruba loved Opening Ceremony's prim yet punchy Scorpio Jacquard Polo Dress ($295, 212.219.2688). "Channeling Margot Tenenbaum is always a good look!" she says. 16 of 18 "Sometimes I can't resist something 100% feminine and 1000% sexy!" Ruba says, referring to Katie Gallagher's Turin Cropped Tank ($688). We suggest styling this piece with denim cutoffs and a kimono-style bed jacket at your next music festival. 17 of 18 "There's a cool mix of eras going on with Cole Haan's Chelsea T-Strap Sandals ($378) in Black Multi," Ruba says. "You could wear it with socks and cropped trousers, or barefoot and with a dress. Versatile, but still interesting!" 18 of 18 The 2Bandits' Bullet Earrings ($88) are small but statement-making, especially teamed with something unexpected, like a feminine cocktail dress.

by Kristen Schaub Luxurious sound from Polk's gorgeous, flagship floor-standing speaker Immerse yourself in smooth, high-end sound that envelops and caresses you thanks to Polk's LSi M 707. Building upon the widely acclaimed LSi family of speakers, the new LSi M series incorporates the latest developments in speaker technology, fitted into a newly designed enclosure that's beautifully sculpted and luxuriously finished. You'll hear a wide, deep soundstage with realistic imaging fleshed out in pinpoint detail, and anchored by effortlessly deep bass. It'll faithfully reproduce your most demanding audio sources from top to bottom, without any help from a separate subwoofer. It makes an excellent pair in a stereo music setup or becomes the shining star in a knock-out home theater system. Polk's Dynamic Sonic Engine: The speaker within a speaker An exploded view of the Dynamic Sonic Engine with the tweeter and midrange at the top of the speaker. The heart of the LSi M 707 is Polk's Dynamic Sonic Engine. Made up of a 3-1/4" midrange driver and a 1" ring radiator tweeter in its own acoustically sealed enclosure, this tightly spaced duo acts like a "mini-monitor." The precise alignment of the midrange and tweeter allows them to disperse sound over a wide, uniform area with excellent off-axis response in the critical 200 Hz to 2,000 Hz midrange. The ring radiator tweeter features several improvements from the version in the earlier LSi line. A slight reshaping of the tweeter's bullet-shaped phase plug allows it to move even farther out of the baffle, while a redesigned diaphragm has made the tweeter even more efficient. It even has its own tuned enclosure within the Dynamic Sonic Engine. These changes result in higher power handling, extended dynamic range, improved dispersion, and extended high-frequency response all the way up to 30,000 Hz! Advanced driver material for even more realistic sound The original LSi speakers featured a light, stiff mineral-filled polypropylene cone that was "puffed up" with injected air to form a honeycomb-like structure. The new super cell aerated polypropylene uses larger "puffed cells" to create a cone material that's thicker yet lighter than the original. It's used in both the midrange and midbass drivers, as well as both woofers, allowing them to move faster and with more efficiency. Dual woofers deliver smooth, effortless bass Low on the '707's front baffle you'll notice dual 6" x 9" woofers. The oval shape helps them produce tight low-frequency music and movie sounds while maintaining a narrow cabinet width. Plus, each woofer has its own PowerPort® a unique Polk design that positions specially designed "cones" at the mouth of the bass ports to direct moving air to eliminate bass-stealing turbulence. No turbulence means no wasted power, which means more efficient bass response. Four-way design for clear, low-distortion sound The LSi M 707 features a 4-way design, meaning that the tweeter handles only the highest of frequencies, the midrange handles the middle frequencies, the midbass handles the mid to low frequencies, and the woofers handle only the lowest frequencies. This separation allows each driver to perform within its optimum range, meaning you'll hear sound with absolute clarity and stunning impact. And this speaker uses proprietary Orth Crossovers, making it extremely efficient and easier for your receiver or amplifier to drive. Careful cabinet design with a stunning real wood veneer The '707 cabinet is made of heavily braced 3/4" thick MDF with an even thicker front baffle (1-1/4") to keep distortion to a minimum. Each driver has its own separate, non-parallel chamber to increase the efficiency of each driver and eliminate internal resonances and standing waves. Dual gold-plated binding posts let you bi-amp or bi-wire this speaker for even better performance. The magnetic grille easily snaps on and off, and it measures less than 1mm thick, so it won't interfere with the sound. And finally, the curved cabinet is finished with a furniture-grade, real-wood veneer that's hand-polished to achieve a gorgeous glow in your home. Achieve startling realism and seamless surround effects when you build a complete LSi M system. All LSi M models feature the same components and tuning, so you can create any combination of towers in the front of your room with a center channel speaker for crisp dialogue, and either bookshelf speakers or dedicated surround speakers in the back of your room for wraparound sound effects. Create a stunning LSi M system with an LSi M center channel speaker, bookshelf speakers, and tower speakers. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Great experience Polk Audio LsiM707 Written By rickybobby, Crown Point, IN on Sunday, December 14, 2014 I currently run a 7.2 Emotiva UMC-200 preamp and a Emotiva XPA-2 & XPA-5 and purchased the new Polk Audio LsiM707 tower speakers the Polk Audio LsiM703 bookshelf speakers 4 of the 703's and the Polk LsiM706c all in midnight mahogany and I am smitten kittens ( blown away ) at the quality of these speakers and not to mention the beautiful sound they emit! For instance when I am listening to them in 2 channel mode it feels like the rest of my speakers are still on. The 2 707's alone fill the room with magic you are just submerged in every little detail of the music just close your eyes and you feel the music they play imagin is perfect the midrange drivers do a wonderful job I would have to say that they take a good 100 hrs to break in. Also have 2 Polk Audio DSWPRO-660i on bass duty Pros: I love these speakers, I could have bought Bowers & Wilkins 802 Nautilus but they were harsh on the ears I can listen to the Polk Audio LsiM707's and the rest of my LsiM series of speakers for hours without any fatigue on the ears. I listened to a lot of Expensive Speakers costing more than 5 times than that of the Polk LsiM series but none of them could beat the polk's with the LsiM707 not 1 thing stood out everything stood out and that's how I like it that is a true audiophiles speaker. Cons: No other speaker has a chance in and around the $10,000.-$15,000 range because once you hear the LsiM707 speakers with a good power amplifier you would realize that Polk hands down built one of the best all around audiophile speakers and the rest of the other brands is just wasted cash. I'm not saying that the other brands I heard aren't good but it's like they would only stand out in one area mids highs but not in the bottom end . And that's exactly what Polk did by building there LsiM series
Polk Audio LSI M707 Floor Speaker Written By William P., Naples, FL on Thursday, August 28, 2014 I bought the M707's with the intention of not having to purchase another set of lead speakers for myself again for many many years - if ever again. These speakers each composed of five powered speaker cones/woofers require a lot of power. I am currently powering mine with a 70 W per channel, well reviewed, tube amplifier which I've only had since I bought the speakers. I may keep the tube amplifier for other purposes in the future and purchase a pair of "Mono blocks" to power these babies. They sound good now - knowing that my current main limitation is the acoustics of my room and possibly an under powering amp. They certainly need to breath and have a lot of clean power backing them up to perform as designed - I'm sure. Also I think space to pull them out away from the front wall helps their sound so consider this also - basically you need a lot of space. But that is certainly a consideration for any speakers at this level of power and consumer expectations. That being said, I just love them. They look great, don't distort at all at any power level I able to give them, and hit all phases and frequencies well. Of course you may want to have some kind of equalization to be sure the tones fit your listening preferences. Pros: Pros include a huge appetite for whatever you throw at them. The ability to bi-amp the speakers. Super high-quality furniture finish and construction, and extremely thin magnetic grill and covering that looks fantastic and can easily be removed and replaced with no damage to the cover or speakers, and of course a well - documented and respected track record, engineering, and production history for decades by Polk Audio. Not to mention a fantastic full five year warranty. Cons: So far the only con I can come up with for the speakers is the fact that I probably could supply a better power source for them. Otherwise most likely I would've given five stars.
Polk Audio LSIm707 Written By Danimal, Henderson NV on Sunday, November 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Have owned several higher end speakers over the years and these are just about the best, especially at this price point. Sparkling highs, realistic mid-range voice; solid, tight bass--can momentarily be a bit boomy lower-mid range on some material, but tweaking speaker location helps put an end to that. These speakers present a great soundstage with a great sense of space and openess around each individual sound--they also seem to be able to very competently present every detail and nuance of the program material without losing small soft details to louder sounds that occur simultaneoously. Sound surprisingly good even at lower volume settings for such large speakers and have tremendous dynamic range---you will need quite a bit of power to drive these, especially at higher volume settings. Appear to be an outstanding value for the money and are not only great to listen to but pleasing to look at. Pros: Great look--great sound Cons: Not really a dislike--but be prepared--these are large, heavy speakers--not easy to move them about to tweak the sound, especially on a carpeted surface

Turbo Power MegaTurbo 2500 Professional Hair Dryer
MonicaFL, United StatesHairMedium BrownDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairMakes Hair Shiny And StraightMy sister has this hairdryer and when I stayed with her and used it, I was amazed. SO different from other dryers! It dries my hair in 4 minutes, all the way through--I have fine shoulder length hair but a lot of it, and it's color processed and I want to keep to a minmum how much heat I expose it to. It leaves my hair shiny and the blowout truly lasts in this Florida humidity. I was using an Elchim but there is no comparison; the Megatrurbo is fantastic. It has 3 speeds and 3 temps, I have the red model, the old model was blue. You won't regret this, get it!posted Dec 21, 2012Link to this post
PattyPortland, ORHairLight BrownOily HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairA Great Product, Especially For Fine HairI have fine, very wavy hair, and read that a non-ionic hair dryer would help with "limpness". Not only did it help, this machine is so powerful and so well-made that it dries my hair fast enough to keep the waves out! My hair does indeed look fuller, so I suspect non-ionic is the way to go for fine hair. This hair dryer is heavy, made in Italy, and it feels as if it has a lot more metal than dryers I have bought in stores. Not so heavy my arms hurt, though. The cord is much longer (commercial length?), another feature I love. This hair dryer will save you time each morning, love it!posted Jul 30, 2012Link to this post
SharleenLoved It Until The Flame Came Out Of It!I bought this hairdryer almost 2 years ago. I loved it. But 1 time i was drying my hair and a little flame came from the hairdryer. (I always clean the back of it to make sure it'll last). So i waited 2 days and the i turned it on and let it go for a couple of minutes and another little flame came from the hairdryer. Lets say that I have lost confidence and I gained fear from the hairdryer. Loved it before it started to go wrong.posted Jun 3, 2012Link to this post
JennyHairCurly HairColor Treated HairWorth The Money!!My hair drying time is cut in half, what used to take 15-20 minutes and left my hair somewhat damp, now takes 10 minutes at most and my hair is completely dry. My hairdresser uses the same one and recommended it to me. Now that I have a little one running around when I am getting ready, I am happy to have less time to do my hair!!posted Apr 30, 2012Link to this post

Jennifer S.KansasHairLight BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairFast & Fabulous!My old hairdryer was approaching it's final days and I asked my hairdresser what hair dryer she used on me at the salon. She highly recommended the MegaTurbo and I have been using it for 2 weeks now and LOVE it. It's is so much faster than my old drugstore model. I would guess it has cut my drying time in half! My hair is fine, with a bit of wave and shoulder length. Drying my hair is now something that I look forward to, instead of dreading because it would take so much time. And, I'm not sure how the Mega Turbo does it, but my hair stays full of body throughout the day. I have not changed any of the product that I put on my hair. The only change is my MegaTurbo and it has made a significant difference in how full my hair appears. I have always struggled with a small section of hair that has more natural curl than the rest of my head. And, over the years, I have made many fruitless attempts to keep that piece of hair from flipping up uncontrollably. Somehow, using the Mega Turbo has fixed my crazy piece of hair and it stays put all day! This dryer is absolutely worth the investment! I only wish that I had purchased it sooner.posted Sep 16, 2011Link to this post
Momof2New YorkHairBlackThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairBest Dryer EverI cannot begin to say how much I love this dryer....its perfect! I use it to stretch my hair between relaxers and also to straighten my daughters hair once in a while. The temperature settings are excellent, it will not fry your hair like some other dryers and the nozzle helps to give you the best results. I would recommend this to anyone esp with coarse kinky curly hair. I only wish it came with an extra nozzle. Other than that,I loooooooove it!posted Aug 10, 2011Link to this post
Angela E.CaliforniaHairFine or Thin HairVery Megai do like the mega turbo hairdryer but the word mega should have been a clue as to the power of this dryer. it took a little getting used to but im happy with the results. using the attachment that comes with it is the key to good results with my thin hair. i ordered the diffuser also but didnt expect it to be so large, not too impressed with it. i would recommend this hairdryer, tho.posted Dec 31, 2010Link to this post
LynneHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairPowerful But Lack Of ControlMy hair is: (long, wavy, fine) I bought this product because: I read a non-ION dryer was better for fine hair. My results were: Not great. The dryer has 2 speeds - high and way too high. I liked it/didn't like it because: It is great for drying my hair quickly but because it doesn't have a lower speed, I can't use it to style my hair. I would/wouldn't recommend it because: I would not recommend this hair dryer due to the complete lack of control when trying to style my hair.posted Dec 22, 2010Link to this post
Kim T.USAHairBlackNormal HairOily HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairExcellent Professional Dryer!!I am a professional Dominican beautician, I purchased this dryer about 2 years ago still works well, the heat level on this dryer is perfect for fast and efficient work and still great to prevent hair dehydration does not burn or dry out the hair like other dryers would. I always recommend it to my clients, because it is easy to use by non professionals and give you the great results without risk The nozzle is really thin for more heat concentration, what else can I say I LOVE THIS DRYER :)posted Dec 12, 2010Link to this post
