Overall: 4.5 / 5 based on 13 reviews
13 of 13 reviewers would recommend this product to a friend.
Beginner quality -
By: YourNextTrout from Woodland Park, CO
I like the idea of the mix and match rod and reels. I wish there was an alignment dot on the rod sections. If I had purchased each part of this combo separately, it would have cost more than this sales price. I had hoped this combo would work for traveling or backpacking, but instead I will keep it at my fishing cabin and allow guests to borrow it.
Love it -
By: Nkc1 from Atlanta
Great product! Perfect to leave in the trunk of the car just in case!
Excellent Travel Combo -
By: BobFish from Lagrange, Georgia
Good quality spinning and fly reels are a big plus to this travel fly and spinning rod and reel combo. Travel carry case is lightweight and has sufficient extra space for a few light tackle items. All in all a great value for the money.
Great Combo -
By: TroutGuy1 from MI
I bought this for my Dad and he loved it, he is getting back in to fishing and he liked the quality plus the ability to spin and fly fish.
Nice set up -
By: pace1958 from Jackson NJ
I received this a few days ago and have not had the opportunity to try it out. The rod is very nice and the two handles make a smooth transition from fly to spin. I was a little disappointed that there was no information about the reels. No direction or breakdown of the reels. I believe that should be included with the set.
Great combo rod! -
By: Zak13 from Almont, CO
I live in Almont, Colorado and this rod is perfect for the Taylor River.
Just what I needed.... -
By: SamiJB from Montana
Needed a rod that was smaller than what I've been taking backpacking with me. This fit the bill and is pretty versatile. I fly fish most often, but every once in a while, cast. The cast rod I had was old, rusty, and falling apart. Not had much of a chance to use it, yet, but quality looks good. Case is nice, but bulky, you'll need something else if you really want to take this much farther than from the car.
Good value -
By: bigkenny2 from Perth Australia
Only used the spin outfit so far but great piece of gear. Carry case is a bonus. Thanks Orvis.
Excellent All-Around Outfit -
By: BLS1 from Las Vegas, NV
This is a quality outfit with flexibility for different fishing conditions. I like that there are two separate butt sections for the different reels, rather than trying to make a compromised handle that will accept either reel. As a fly rod it has a fairly stiff, fast action. Works well as a spinning rod. The reels are well made and smooth.
Great Rod For Bass, Looking Forward to Alaska -
By: RollwithForbes from VA, AK
So far has been an excellent spin rod have caught 40+ bass with the largest being 5lbs2oz. Have caught numerous pan fish and Crappie as well. Very fun and active rod whether it's a small fish or a big one. Have not tried out the fly aspect of it yet but will be up in AK soon and will see how it works with some monster trout. Only reason it doesn't have 5 stars is the Bale Arm isn't coming down correctly on every cast and when you are trying to throw a lure under a tree with a quick pick up that's a problem. I may just need to take it apart and oil it, we will see.

Moroccanoil is amazing
The products were lovely and I loved the travel bag. The only downside was that for the price, the shampoo and conditioner were tiny so I didnt get many washes out of them.
very good product, but the directions are very difficult to read,
I love the products
I thought it would be better quality, but the products are probably not suitable for my hair.
I rather liked the products, though I expected more with all this hype and the price. Having said that - the shampoo was really good, especially for my very dry, fine and thick hair, but I did not like the conditioner.
The product itself is very good, good value for money. However when I received the product the travel size shampoo was leaking slightly and not packaged securely enough!
I love the hair oil and the shampoo and conditioner! Make my hair super soft
I love the moroccanoil products, having been introduced to this range by my daughter I now use nothing else

Most Popular Engagement Rings by State
It's fascinating to follow bridal jewelry trends, both internationally and locally. At Ritani, we love taking note of which of our engagement rings are the most popular in a given state in the US. This way we can keep on top of regional trends, and it even helps us forecast what will be popular in the near future.
After creating this map, a few details immediately stood out to us. The states in the middle part of the country adore our classic styles. Classic engagement rings include gorgeous details like braided, split-shank, and pavé diamond bands. Utah, Kansas, Iowa, and even outliers like Oregon and Tennessee love our brilliant classic ring styles.
On the other hand, the West Coast, along with some parts of the Midwest and Southeast, prefer our solitaire engagement rings. In these regions, elegant and simple solitaire engagement rings are highly popular. Elegant engagement ring styles like these can be enhanced with a prong, tulip, or cathedral setting to emphasize the center stone. Some examples of states that love our solitaire engagement rings are California, Alaska, Louisiana, the Dakotas, and Minnesota.
The Northeast, Southeast, and parts of the West are following the greater engagement ring trends by preferring halo engagement rings. These vintage engagement ring styles have becoming increasingly trendy. Halo engagement rings are named for the halo of small diamonds encircling the ring's center stone.
Some notable outliers include New Jersey, Vermont, and West Virginia. Vermonters and West Virginians prefer solitaire engagement rings, despite being surrounded by states that love halo ring styles. Similarly, New Jersey opts for classic engagement rings rather than halos.
You can find more information on engagement ring trends on our website, http://www.ritani.com/

What's a good stencil ink?
What stencil ink do you guys use when putting the logo on the racket? (answer only of you put logos)
None. don't use them. it will mess up your string by adding moisture into them.
but if you insist on them, Babolat stencil ink is high quality
I've had good results with Gamma ink.
Good coverage, remember to shake well.
I've seen the applicator tops come off twice with Tourna ink.
Talk about a disaster!
I've also been very disappointed with all of the white 'inks'.
Very goopy and paint-like.
Looks okay from a distance, I suppose.
...and, btw, all strings except natgut are impervious to moisture.
Keep the colors dark.
Krylon hardware/auto part spray acrylic works fine.
My Dunlop ink works well, but I'm running out.
The approach makes for the best ink job
I have found that most of the brands work ok.
Polys by their nature will shed the ink quickly.
Lube the threads on the top when you open a new bottle, light smear of chap stick will help with the sticking some encounter.
Check that the top is seated every time you open it & store your ink in a small zip lock bag. In a gallon size zip lock I insert the stencil inside of a file folder. When it is time to refresh your stencil @ the tourney, the file folder gives you a backing for any stray drips.
I use Gamma red ink and so far I haven't had any problems...
Anything besides Tourna brand, the felt tip ripped after a few uses. Also the ink comes off too quickly, its like putting on kids crayola finger paint....

Product Data
Formed in 1996 by Cyrille Guimard, former manager of cycling legend Bernard Hinault, the French Cofidis team have courted cycling greatness and controversy in equal measure. The early years saw great successes including an overall tour series win in 1998 featuring a 3rd place finish in the tour de france by Bobby Julich and 4 wins in the one day classics by Frank Vandenbroucke. In the decade that followed, Cofidis enjoyed prominent stage wins in the tour de france, two of these by French cyclist David Moncoutié, winning on Bastille day for two years running. David Millar was a significant member of the team as the 2004 time trial world champion and 2000 tour de france prologue winner, he also spoke out against the team's controversial results driven pay scheme leading it to be dropped. The team withdrew from the 2007 pro tour series after doping problems and their pro tour licence was not renewed by the UCI for 2010. Cofidis continue to compete as a UCI Professional Continental Team and their distinctive red kit has graced the podium of the Vuelta a Espana and Tour de l'Ain in 2011.

As an old RPG'er, one of the draws of the make believe world (to me anyway) was leveling up and getting more powerful over time. I think that was why I was so drawn to the originial prophecies game. If you played the game the way it was designed to be played, you didn't hit level 20 until after, or at ascension. As a casual player, that was a good 2 months of fun. Then after lvl 20 there was elite skill capping, FoW, UW, etc to keep me interested.
In factions however, whether you merged an old account or started a new character, you had to be max level (20) before really even starting the game. I have to admit, other than the cooperative missions (which I find challenging and fun), I'm not finding much challenge in this new chapter. The quests don't offer much incentive for me. I don't need the xp, or skill points really (I've already got 61 skill points). The faction is an incentive I guess, but I'm not really into the whole PvP format. So controlling a town just doesn't do it for me.
So, to introduce that RPG element back into the game, I'm wondering if ANet wouldn't consider increasing the max level limits to say 40, with certain skills only available once a certain level threshold was met. I know...the point of the game is that you can be successful based on skill and not hours played. Well, they threw that out the window when they introduced the concept of having to grind for faction points. It's just not fun.
I will definitively say that I am a Guild Wars fan all the way, but the factions game just doesn't introduce the same fun level round 1 did. Yes, one day I can claim that I finished the game in 2 weeks, but what does that leave me? Waiting until chapter 3 comes out so that I can finish that in 1 week?
In closing, I'd like to hear other forum members opinions on what might make the game FUN again. I've read the other posts complaining about this and that, but what is the message we can send to Anet on how to improve our experience rather than just complaining? My vote is for higher levels and thus higher level areas. Your vote is???

Welcome To Our Oceanfront Kona Vacation Rental Beach House! We think it's the best place we've ever stayed, and here's why!
This Kona vacation rental house is right on a small, beautiful, sandy white beach, perfect for couples and families. You can watch dolphins and sea turtles from both the upstairs and downstairs lanais.
And this townhouse is so easy to live in! The unit has approximately 2300 sq. ft. of centrally AIR-CONDITIONED space on two floors, plus 400 sq. ft. of lanai space. And, the house was JUST remodeled! The kitchen has new granite countertops, a new stovetop, and a brand new microwave and oven. All the bathrooms were remodeled with beautiful travertine, quartz tiles, and granite countertops. New carpeting and paint throughout!
Sliding glass doors open onto two oceanfront lanais that overlook the beautiful white sand beach, the black lava rocks, the surf, and sea-life including dolphins, sea turtles, and seasonal whales.
This particular Hawaii vacation condo is unusual in that there are only 8 units, two per building, and all are oceanfront. The complex is very private and easy—no long hauls from the car or to the water. There is covered parking adjacent to the unit, and the beach starts at the bottom step of the deck!
The living room and master bedroom have full ocean views and you can hear the soothing sounds of the surf. The spacious master bedroom is a king-sized suite containing a bathroom with a whirlpool tub and separate shower, and it opens up onto an oceanfront lanai.
The second bedroom upstairs is large and has its own bath, two twin beds, and a futon sofa that converts to a double bed. It was originally two small bedrooms that were remodeled into one very spacious bedroom with a large sitting area and desk. This is why our unit has three bedrooms and the others in our complex have four, even though the square footage is approximately the same for all the units.
The downstairs bedroom has a queen sized bed and a full bathroom. It can be entered either through the house or through its own entrance, and is perfect for grandparents, a nanny, friends, or families with more than two children.
Just a short walk of about 100 yards down the beach from us, there is a hidden protected cove with resident, rather inquisitive sea turtles. Although Hawaii State law prohibits humans from approaching sea turtles, the turtles themselves seem to operate under no such restrictions. On every trip, they have swum up to check us out (and, I suspect, to see if we happen to be carrying any seaweed). This is one of the most magical experiences we have ever had as a family, and look forward to it each year.
There are lots of amenities, too, including a fully equipped kitchen featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and koa wood cabinets, washer/dryer, air-conditioning, whirlpool tub, BBQ grill, linens, beach towels, beach toys, boogie boards, FREE unlimited high speed internet access, wireless internet access, FREE unlimited local phone calls, cable TV, iPod player, stereo (with vintage Hawaiian CD's), CD player, and DVD and VCR players.
The Ali'i Gardens Marketplace is just across the street and down about 3 blocks. It has over 50 merchants who offer handmade products, Kona coffee, incredibly fresh produce and flowers, snorkel rentals, shave ice, and lots of other wonderful things.
Kailua-Kona is only 2 miles north of our condo and features shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. Magic Sands Beach is 1 mile south and offers the best waves in town—it's great for body surfing and boogie boarding. Kahalu'u Beach is just 2 miles south, and is one of the best snorkeling spots we've ever been to, especially for children. It's protected and shallow, and filled with fish, many of which are quite tame.
And, of course, there's all of the other great stuff Kailua Kona is famous for, including Swimming, Snorkeling, Diving, Boating, Kayaking, Sailing, Surfing, Windsurfing, Parasailing, Tide Pools, Seasonal Whale Watching, Luaus, Wildlife Viewing; Submarine Rides; Hiking, Biking, Golf, Tennis, Fishing, Shopping, Restaurants, Cinemas, Sightseeing, Museums, and Horseback Riding.
Now, if our words haven't yet convinced you why we think this Hawaii vacation rental is really great, we're hoping our photographs will!
Aloha and thank you for considering our home for your vacation.

We're a family in love with Hawaii! We looked at houses for almost 15 years before we found the 'perfect' vacation home-- we LOVE this house and the coastline it inhabits.
Marty purchased this condo in 2003
First of all, we love the location. The protected cove just down the shoreline is a perfect place to go with kids. It's easy and convenient-- something we really value when we're vacationing. Plus, it's very safe for children to go in the water there, compared to many places along the Kona coast-- especially in high surf. Sand is pretty rare, too, since most of the coastline is pure lava rock.
Second, we've been told by realtors that the unit has the largest square footage of any condo on the water in the Kailua Kona area-- by a long shot. We're pretty sure this is true because we haven't seen anything as large. This extra space allows everyone to spread out and be comfortable.
Third, we love being so close to the ocean. Many 'oceanfront' properties, while technically oceanfront, are so far from the water that you can't hear the waves. We also discovered, in our 15 years of searching, that a property as a whole might be oceanfront, but a particular unit can be very far from the water.
Fourth, we discovered the hard way that central air-conditioning was a necessity for our family. We first started traveling when our children were young, and were swayed by the ads promising that the 'island breezes' were all that anyone would need. Unless you had toddlers running around and weren't comfortable leaving the windows and sliding glass doors open at night!
Finally, the configuration of the house was perfect for traveling with extended family-- each group has their own roomy bedroom and private bathroom.
There were lots of other reasons, but we're hitting the space limit here-- suffice it to say that after 15 years of looking, we think we hit gold!
In the years that we've been vacationing in this house, we've been fortunate to have a number of wonderful experiences.
First, it was a perfect configuration to have extended family-- sharing the Kona experience with children and their grandparents is beyond description.
Also, the unit is so close to the ocean and the water is so clear that you can actually see fish swimming in the waves just before they crest (don't forget to bring your polarized sunglasses!). We leave our binoculars in the unit for guests in hope that they are lucky enough to spot some of the cool sea-life we've watched from the lanais, including sea turtles, spinner dolphins, manta rays, and whales. Seriously, whale watching from the lanai-- it doesn't get much better than that!
My family and parents stayed at the wonderful condo right before Thanksgiving. The pictures truly does not do it justices. The condo is clean and tidy and beautifully decorated, but what was the absolutely most amazing part of this condo was the ocean view and beach access! Waking up every morning and having breakfast out on the deck was one our most memorable moments. Beach access was literally right under our deck. My son looked forward, everyday, walking the lava rock to the little sandy cove not to far from the condo. We saw turtles every time we went to the little cove and it was perfect for smaller children, in that it was protected from the surf. Along with some of the unique characteristics of this condo, location was key. It literally was just a few minutes ride away from downtown Kona and markets. It was nice to be able to drive only a few minutes to get what we needed and feel like we were back in a hidden oasis when returning to the condo. The owners were amazing to work with. Some of the nicest people we have dealt with on VRBO. Our youngest son has some severe disabilities and they were more than accommodating to some of his needs. We would rent this place again, no questions asked. It was a fantastic trip and we didn't want to come home!
Just imagine the sound of surf breaking on the rocks and accommodations for a multi-generational family vacation, this is the place for you! The condo has a spacious family-friendly floor plan with a well-equipped functional kitchen. Three separate bedrooms with supporting bathrooms provide privacy for family units. The master suite is spacious with a luxury bathroom and its own lanai. Located in an ideal quiet location with a white sandy beach a step off the lanai, this condo is close enough to enjoy the culture, shops and restaurants in nearby Kona. Condo has essential beach amenities: towels, coolers, boogie boards, umbrella, sand toys and chairs. With a great view of the sunset every night, this family-oriented condo can't be beat!

The condo was more than expected in every way. It is the largest condo I have ever stayed in, it accommodated all of our wishes and needs. The views were wonderful. We loved the lava for exploration and climbing. Turtle bay was so much fun.

This was a wonderful condo for our time in Kona. We were traveling with four children and everyone had plenty of room to spread out! Our children LOVED the turtles and were regular visitors to the cove. We also had a lot of fun with the boogie boards (provided in the closet of the condo) at White Sands beach and snorkeling at Kahaluu Bay. It was a great location for the other activities we did (surfing, manta ray snorkel, Mauna Kea summit trip). During our time in Kona, a highlight was always returning to the lanai of the condo. The view (and sound of the ocean) from the lanais are amazing!
Tide Pools, Seasonal Whale Watching, Luaus, Submarine Rides, Live Volcano, Zip Lines, Coffee Plantation Tours, Glass Bottom Boat Rides, Swimming with Dolphins, and all the other great stuff you find in Hawaii!

I'm looking to convert single digit numbers to two-digit numbers like so:
9 ==> 09
5 ==> 05
12 == 12
4 ==> 04
I figure I could put a bunch of if-else statements (if number is under 10, then do a gsub) but figure that's horrible coding. I know Rails has number_with_precision but I see that it only applies to decimal numbers. Any ideas on how to convert single-digits to two-digits?

Interaction with Guests
We respect our guests' privacy.
There will be no or minimal interaction because our rental space is on a different level and has a private entrance.
The Neighborhood
San Francisco weather is variable, by which means it changes from minute-to-minute, street-to-street.
Our location is one of the best! Outer Sunset, Parkside jewel of San Francisco!
It's one of the safest neighborhoods in San Francisco very safe and quiet except for the sound of the ocean. We can walk the streets day or night and feel safe and comfortable.
The Outer Sunset is a deliciously silent residential area with old-fashioned stretches of shops and cafes along its main drags of Noriega and Taraval streets, adjacent to the Ocean Beach. The Outer Sunset is a popular destination for folks wishing to escape humid summer heat.
It is very easy to get Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Zoo, Sausalito, Napa Wine Country, freeway to Silicon Valley and only one street car directly to Downtown, Financial District, and Union Square.
Nearby many points of interest, attractions and museums, there is a short list:
- de Young Museum
- California Academy of Sciences
- Japanese Tea Garden
- Golden Gate Park hiking and biking trails
San Francisco Zoo is a fantastic chance for kids to experience wildlife firsthand
- The 16th Ave Tiled Steps
- Stern Grove, home of a long-running free performing-arts festival, held each summer
- Surfing is very popular year-round
- Weekly food truck and music events
- Weekly farmers markets
We are also just two blocks away from the "L" Taraval Muni street car station (30th and Taraval street), which allows you to easily access the rest of the city and the heart of the action. Approximate travel times on "L" Muni from the house: Castro (15min); Powell (20min); Embarcadero (25min).
But you don't have to go far to enjoy the city. There are some amazing places to enjoy within a few minutes' drive of the house, including the breathtaking views of Ocean Beach, which stretches from the Cliff House to Fort Funston, Land's End park (for amazing views of the Golden Gate bridge), Lake Merced (an urban lake for jogging/boating/fishing/golfing), others.
A few more blocks away are a Walgreens, Safeway (grocery store) and post office.
Free street parking is always available.

Great place to stay! Super clean and looks just like the photos. Great location and close to the beach. Alex was super friendly and helpful during our stay. You will have a wonderful time if you stay here.
Couldn't have asked for a better experience during our stay in SF. They were very accommodating, very quick to reply with any questions, and the apartment was exactly as pictured if not better. It's in a perfect area of SF where you don't have to pay for parking and finding a spot isn't a nightmare like some parts of the city. You are also close to lots of local restaurants and of course Golden Gate is a short drive. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone who wants a beautiful place in SF and doesn't want to deal with hassle of the big city. I will definitely be returning.
Alex is a wonderfully host and own a lovely unit. He kept his place neat and clean, I would say better than what I expected. And I enjoy the neighborhood very much too. Highly recommended.
The apartment is well located in a quiet residential area but has excellent connections to downtown via the metro (just 2 blocks away). There are good local services close by which helped make our stay really great. The apartment itself had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. Our hosts, Alex and Lena were the very best. Helpful, informative and on hand to help if and when we needed it. We would definitely return to this delightful apartment if we come back to San Fran and would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit the area and seeking good quality accommodation and friendly hosts.
We were 3 adults (incl 1 couple) who stayed in the apartment for 2 nights.
The space was comfortable and had all the necessary facilities. The unit is a separate space underneath the main part of the house, fully self-contained and accessed through the garage.
We really liked the clean, fresh decor and the location was good, walking distance to restaurants as well as a bus and tram stop for transportation into the city (about 30 mins). We walked to the Parkside Tavern (an Irish Pub) on both nights for great cocktails, super friendly bartenders and very reasonably priced food.
Alex met us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment and he was very courteous and respectful. He also went out of his way to organize a late check-out for us combined with an early check-in for the next guests, all on Mother's Day! We were able to leave our luggage securely for the morning which was very convenient for us.
We would definitely recommend this place.
Alex a good host,apt clean and comfortable-would stay there again
We had a lovely time at Alex's apartment. It is very clean and modern and has everything you need . I only wish we'd stayed longer to be able to enjoy the outside space ! Location is convenient with the Tram nearby and Safeway. I would definitely recommend this place to friends :-)

I have stepped down as editor, so this collection will be my last, which has had me thinking about what, if any, themes have remained constant in the 14 years I've been doing it. One narrative tops the list by a mile: sex with a stranger. This theme really stood out this year; it seemed like about half of the stories were about women getting it on with someone they'd just met. Of course, most of their strangers—in addition to being drop-dead gorgeous—were sexy, available, and highly skilled lovers. Many of the scenarios were romanticized: the "she knew just where to touch me" or "it was like she could read my mind" kind of thing. In other words, no awkward silence in the conversation, no insecurity or doubt, no fumbling with bra straps—everything was smooth and perfect. (Well, they are, after all, fantasies.) Stranger sex is not just a dominant fantasy among lesbian-erotica writers or dykes themselves—it's pretty universal regardless of gender or sexual orientation. So what is it about sex with someone you don't know that gets so many people so hot and bothered?
Before I go there, I want to acknowledge that there is a spectrum when it comes to how people define "stranger." Some are purists and want a truly anonymous hookup with someone they've never seen before, whose name and history they don't know. Others have a looser definition of "anonymous": They will exchange first names, and maybe a few pleasantries or e-mails, but then it's right to the sex. Still others need to have just enough information to feel comfortable that the person is sane and safe.
"My favorite thing about sex with people who are new to me is that it's so fraught with possibility," says Katie, a 30-year-old software consultant who lives in Vancouver. "It is based almost entirely on chemistry, not on what their job is, or if they meet my criteria for a 'real relationship.' You have no idea what's in front of you, and it has the potential to be every amazing thing you are looking for." The charge of the unknown and the possibility for pure bliss can be powerful aphrodisiacs for many people. Plus, when an encounter is free of emotional investment or baggage, you're free—free to be yourself, free to be someone else, free to express yourself in any way you want because the other person doesn't know you. On the flip side, you can create a fantasy about who the other person is, project your desires onto him or her, tune in to the sexual dynamic, without worrying if you'll be compatible with your clothes on.
Winston Wilde, a therapist from Los Angeles with a doctorate in human sexuality, says that many of his clients engage in some form of stranger sex. The majority of the gay men he treats do, but they also seem to have greater access to potential partners, whether it's cruising in public places, going to bathhouses, or hooking up through the Web. "Most people look at anonymous sex with morality and judgment and rarely talk about any positive aspects," he notes. It's true: Before you finish telling them about the hot chick in the bathroom stall last night, most psychologists (armchair and otherwise) will cry intimacy issues and fear of commitment. Dr. Wilde has a different take: "Because there is no emotional investment in a relationship, there is no history and no future. The experience can be all about the here and now. It's not about attachment. It's very Zen."
Katie, who's bisexual, says it's very easy to find sexual hookups online (via Craigslist or dating sites), at sex and kink events, or just at the grocery store. But like most women, she acknowledges that safety is an issue.
"Some people get off on the danger," Dr. Wilde says. "There's a thrill and a rush that goes along with the sex, whether they admit it or not. Women are usually more cautious and need a sense of safety." Rita tries to walk the fine line between knowing enough and knowing too much: "It's difficult to find safe hookups with strangers. While flirting, I am trying to find out as much as I can about this person, but not so much that we don't feel like strangers. At the very least, I want to figure out if we are compatible, and be alert about any red flags that pop up. I want to make sure they will respect my boundaries before, during, and after our encounter. I want to make sure they understand that I'm not looking for a new boyfriend or girlfriend."
But is it always just about the sex? Rita believes that there is an emotional connection in all her encounters, even the ones with strangers: "With people I love, there is, of course, that deeper sense of intimacy and connectedness. I think sex with strangers is like taking my shirt off and walking topless in a warm summer rainstorm, while sex with my long-term committed partner is like sharing an umbrella and pulling each other close."

Sobieski Vodka Wins Third Consecutive Impact 'Hot Brand' Award
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Sobieski vodka, the number one selling premium vodka in Poland and one of the fastest growing spirits brands in U.S., today announced it has received a third consecutive "Hot Brand" award presented by Impact Magazine, the industry's leading trade publication. Sobieski vodka had the largest growth percentage of the premium vodkas awarded.
The "Hot Brand" award was presented to Sobieski last week, at the Impact Seminar in New York City by Impact editor and publisher, Marvin Shanken.
"We are proud that Sobieski has won this award three years in a row, and honored to be included in the category among other recognizable brands," said Chester Brandes, President and CEO of Imperial Brands, Inc. "Since entering the U.S. market in 2007, Sobieski's aim was to be the fastest vodka brand to sell one million cases in USA in one calendar year, and receiving this award reaffirms our confidence that we will reach our goal."
To help reach the goal Sobieski vodka has recently added three new entrants to its flavor line: Karamel, Orange and Raspberry. Previously, Sobieski had successfully launched Cytron and Vanilla.
Sobieski will unveil several new digital and print ad executions throughout the course of 2011 in publications including Playboy, Maxim, Rolling Stone and InTouch Magazine. These new "Truth in Vodka" ads will feature the product along with special appearances from a part-owner and brand ambassador, Bruce Willis. Additionally, Sobieski vodka will start a major PR push with Mr. Willis in the months ahead. Please stay tuned for more information.
Sobieski vodka, the #1 premium vodka in Poland and one of the world's bestselling and fastest growing vodka brands, makes no compromises on quality and exemplifies the height of Polish craftsmanship and authenticity. Building on a noble heritage, Sobieski vodka is produced exclusively from the revered Dankowski rye at the Starogard Gdanski distillery dating back to 1846.
Sobieski vodka's current campaign focuses on the "Truth in Vodka," and declares that consumers don't have to pay a king's ransom to get superb vodka. Sobieski's back-to-basics approach to marketing, which focuses on what goes in the bottle–tradition, heritage, authenticity and taste–is in marked contrast to competitors who rely on lavish packaging and gimmicky ad campaigns that have resulted in a deluge of overpriced vodkas.
Sobieski was awarded both a Gold Medal as well as a score of 95 out of a possible 100 by the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI), and was recognized as a "Hot Brand" by Impact Magazine in 2010. This marks the third year in a row the brand has been awarded this prestigious accolade.

Former railway minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav today pointedly asked that if the Railways was so deeply in the red, from where was Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda going to get the money to see his proposals for 2014-15 through.
"He (Gowda) just hurriedly read what was written for him and went away," said Lalu.
On the Modi Government's proposed move to build projects through the public-private partnership (PPP) model, Lalu said, "We have already exercised the option of PPP model. But where is the money? Who will invest in the railways?"
He also questioned the need for introducing automatic doors in trains, and said it would have been more appropriate if proper safety systems had been put in place to avoid mishaps.

Subaru Problems
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because of low catalytic converter efficiency. This same issue may cause the car to fail the State Smog Test if one is required.
The head gasket has a high failure rate due to cooling system problems. Subaru is aware of the problem and has extended the warranty to 8 years/100k miles on many vehicles.

Subaru Questions
Subaru Recalls
In certain states, where salt is used to de-ice the roads, corrosion can occur at the four-way joint connector of the hydraulic braking system leading to a brake fluid leak. This fluid loss can result in longer than expected stopping distance, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will apply an anti-corrosion wax to the four-way joint connector area to correct this concern. Some vehicles previously recalled of this concern may not have been repaired correctly. In addition, owners of vehicles outside of the affected states may request this recall be performed. Please contact your dealer to determine exactly how this recall affects your vehicle.
Moisture sensitive airbag system components may deteriorate in humid climate regions, causing an increase in inflator pressure which ruptures when passenger airbags are deployed. Injury can result from inflator parts striking an occupant. Dealers will replace affected airbag inflators to correct this concern. Subaru is the manufacturer of Saabs affected by this recall. This recall supersedes Subaru recall 14V-471.
This limited regional recall is for vehicles currently registered or first sold in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and equipped with Takata-brand air bag inflators. Upon deployment the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. Subaru dealers will replace the affected airbag inflator modules to correct this concern.

great all around glove
i climb towers for a living and the metolius belay glove is the only glove that stands up to my abuse.
i use all three variations for the hot to cold seasons. the insulated works for 20+ conditions but sometimes i throw a hand warmer under the velcro for extra warmth.
the first to go on this glove is the stitching, especially at the finger tips and the double palm.
my job requires a lot of high speed rope work and this glove has never failed me. the double palm is extremely resistant to rope burn or tearing. the velro wrist keeps the glove secure and stays out of the way.
i only wish that metolius would make a version for colder conditions

THE young trainees under the Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) Employees' Sports Club's one-month introductory badminton coaching programme may not have mastered the basic shuttling skills yet, but the 20 primary school pupils, aged between 10 and 12 years, are making up for whatever they lack in finesse with their abundance of energy on court.
Following the one-day Under-12 singles tournament for boys and girls organised by HUKM in September, budding shuttlers from five schools around the Bandar Tun Razak, Cheras vicinity – SK Taman Midah 1, SK Taman Midah 2, SK Bandar Tun Razak 1, SK Bandar Tun Razak 2 and SK Sri Tasik – were selected to join the training under HUKM coach P. Kantharoopan.
"For a start, the schools in the area do not have proper facilities or the expertise to groom them. We are helping the youngsters by teaching them the basic skills, such as the correct grip and footwork. Besides allowing them to enjoy playing on court, we also teach them the proper stretching techniques. It is too early to evaluate their progress because they are still learning," he added.
Mohd Syafiq Suhaimi, 11, from SK Sri Tasik, was elated to be given more time on court to spar with his peers.
"I took up badminton a year ago. I like playing the game," said Syafiq, who finished third in the boys' singles at the recent HUKM Under-12 junior meet.
The club's manager, Jasmi Ali, said their committee members would discuss the plan to continue the programme next month (December) as a school holiday activity for the children.
"We have also approached the five schools and informed them of our intention to conduct training sessions for their pupils next year. To sustain and fund the initiative, either we will need to a find a sponsor or the trainees will have to pay a nominal fee," added Jasmi.

You. Just. Got. BACON'D!!I don't often write about Kevin Bacon on this blog, due in part to the La Coronilla Treaty of 2008 (see the comments section.) And so I'm not going to say much about this clip from funnyordie.com, except that it is AWESOME with a capital AWE. Happy Friday....

Bacon EdamameOnce again I'm blown away by a simple yet profound use for bacon. Why did I never think of this before? Because I tend to get too complicated. I need to remember that the simplest food ideas are the best. And Camilla at Enlightened Cooking has proved it with her...
Know Your BaconHow well do you know bacon? Do you know something about it's history? Do you have a favorite brand? Do you know about it's omega-3 fatty acid content, or lack thereof? I'm a sucker for quizzes and surveys, so when a friend sent me this Bacon and Pork...
Bacon Label GalleryI've mentioned before how much I enjoy Dave's Cupboard. This New Englander is a truly gifted cook who seems to give instructions on everything I've ever wanted to know, like how to make your own bacon. He's also a food enthusiast who goes out...
Bacon Cheddar Gordita CrunchBy now you've no doubt heard: Taco Bell has taken the bacon world by storm! It's all everyone is talking about. Its face seems to be painted across every surface I encounter. It's the bacon-cheddar-gordita-crunch, and it has come to dominate our...
BaconTwitsIf you're reading this blog, there's a chance you like bacon. If you follow more than one blog, there's a chance you also like other time-wasting, Internet-based nonsense, like Facebook and Twitter. If any or all of those things are true about you,...
Bacon Haikus and ZombiesI love haiku. It's a poetry form that requires discipline, but only briefly. Like a tiny sudoku or a 24-tile Rubik's cube. Once, during a particularly stressful time at work, my bo ss and I relieved our stress by exchanging daily haikus about our...
Review: Maple Bacon CoffeeIt was way back in November when we featured Boca Java's Maple Bacon Morning coffee. I think I ordered it that very day, it just sounded too irresistible. When it arrived, I was thrilled to find it had a one-way air release valve so you could squeeze the bag...
Bacon-Wrapped Eggs with PolentaBy far the most popular post we've ever done was Bacon Wrapped Eggs. I don't know what it was about that recipe that made everyone's mouth water so, but we got lots of great feedback and alternative recipe suggestions. Since this seems to be what the...
Giant BaconChristmas is awesome. I don't know much about why we do it or what it's for, I just know that everyone hangs out at home all week and I get ridiculous amounts of treats and special dinners. Last week alone I ate prime rib twice, had corned beef hash and...
Bacon JustifiedAaaah, the holidays. I just finished a nine-day weekend, and will be back at work for just two days before another five-day weekend. And amazingly, I still feel like I could use more time. I'm pretty confident that I could make a full-time job of not having a...

Calling all Bacon Tattoos!So my husband is a real sport. He's got many tattoos, most of them on a nautical theme as he is, himself, a nautical man. However, in the spirit of supporting me and Naseem and our blogging endeavor, he has volunteered to get a bacon tattoo. This came as a...

text: Items 25 to 48 of 237 total View 12 / 24 / 48 Previous 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ... 10 Next Works as promised By Jay B. on 1/4/2015 Jay B. would recommend this product to a friend I bought this to regulate the level in my sump, using RO/DI feed. I also purchased the optional valve. The setup is easy, especially because of the way that the two level sensors are cleverly mounted with the magnetic holder. I turned the water feed on on and everything worked like it was supposed to. Now I don't have to keep fiddling with my protein skimmer to get the right quantity skimmate. Almost perfect By Jim on 12/27/2014 Jim would recommend this product to a friend This is a really great ATO system. There is one downside. If you are pumping the water into your sump, the top level of the top off water container supply cannot be higher than the sump water level. The pump is centrifical, and allows water to flow through the pump when it is off. If the top off water is higher than the sump water, a siphon will occur, and water will continue to flow until the water levels equalize (including over-running the sump, and onto the floor. You simply need to select the right top off container. ATO's Don't Get Better Than This! By Bernie on 12/20/2014 Bernie would recommend this product to a friend The Tunze was superior to my first ATO set up which used a float valve and lifter pump. The optical sensor is great and having the second float valve to protect against overfilling is just a smart investment to protect not only your tank but the flooring around it. I have a controller in which I could probably have set something up myself but for an all in one package this system is great. Very Cool! By Trent on 12/16/2014 Trent would recommend this product to a friend This is a great product. Easy to setup and trouble free. One funny thing is that the way that the LED indicator lights are mounted inside the control box allows for "bleed over" from one light to another. So, in my particular case, the way that I have it mounted inside my cabinet makes the "Too High" appear to be lit when in fact it's the "Level" light. It took me a couple of plug-unplug cycles to figure that out. But, it's great product. Recommended! Still the best! By Martin on 12/15/2014 Martin would recommend this product to a friend There have been a lot of additions to the ATO market over the last year or so. The Tunze 3155 Osmolator is stil the best unit on the market. Reliable and dependable. If you're undecided because of price, don't be...just buy it and be glad you did. Works flawlessly By GARY on 12/15/2014 GARY would recommend this product to a friend Bought one thanks to the positive reviews here and I owe the reviewers here a debt for getting it right and saving Me Money making a mistake. Want an ATO, click 'ADD TO CART' on this and be done with it. Works flawlessly great product By kalen on 12/11/2014 kalen would recommend this product to a friend I recently bought the tunze ato and I had heard many good things about it. I did many months of research and I finally decided to buy it and replace my smart ato which was always failing. I would recommend this product to others Tunze osmolator 3155 Top Off By Joe on 12/10/2014 Joe would recommend this product to a friend This is the best automatic top off system I have 3 of them on different tanks. Easy to set up plug and play. They been running for over 3 years with no problems. The best By John g on 12/9/2014 John g would recommend this product to a friend Very easy to set up and extremely accurate Easy Setup By Evelio on 12/9/2014 Evelio would recommend this product to a friend It was easy to set up straight out of the box. This is one of the best investments that I have made for my tank. ONE WORD....WOW!!! By NASSAUREEF on 12/8/2014 NASSAUREEF would recommend this product to a friend This top off is amazing very easy to setup. Don't waste your money on another brand cause it will cost you double and you will end up with the tunze , so buy it the 1st time and it will be the last one you will buy.. Simply perfect By Nate on 12/8/2014 Nate would recommend this product to a friend I have used two tunzes osmolators on different tanks and I have never had an issue. double back up (float sensor and auto times pump shut off) makes me not worrying about having water over flow. and all the install hardware added is always a bonus, like the return tube holder. best investment i made By Andre on 12/6/2014 Andre would recommend this product to a friend My first ato and only I will buy. very happy with this ato. Easy to install Love it! By Joshua on 12/5/2014 Joshua would recommend this product to a friend I have had a few different ATOs but this one is by far the best I have had. Don't know why I didn't just get this one from the start. GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTT By TOM on 11/29/2014 TOM would recommend this product to a friend Just got this auto off was really easy to install took about 30 mins and WOW... this system is great would recommend this to everyone. I was waiting for the sale Blackfriday what a great deal... Can't wait to get my hands on this! By Nelson on 11/28/2014 Nelson would recommend this product to a friend just order this on black friday special!! can't wait to have it in my tank up and running! good By Rodney on 11/25/2014 Rodney would recommend this product to a friend works like it sould saves time having to top off tank evereday Great Product By Harris on 11/23/2014 Harris would recommend this product to a friend I've had this for about a month now. It was really easy to set up and has saved me time by not having to top off my sump by hand. All around a great addition to the tank! awesome By dolpator on 11/23/2014 dolpator would recommend this product to a friend This top off system is awesome. I have never had one issue with it and it never misses a beat. I used the JBJ auto top off on the past but like the fail safe options. It has been very dependable. And would recommend it to any one. Great product Works and easy to setup. By Mario on 11/19/2014 Mario would recommend this product to a friend Instructions were easy to follow. One call to Tunze was answered promptly when I had a question about whether all magnets were waterproof. Never Fails By FirstContact on 11/10/2014 FirstContact would recommend this product to a friend This is a great piece of gear. It has never failed on me. Once a year or six months or so, I'll clean the optical sensor from salt. It's in a 100g Rubbermaid stock tank. The pump is in a 32g Brute, and the top off goes through my kalk reactor first. Perfect Tool By Steven on 11/6/2014 Steven would recommend this product to a friend Really satisfied with my purchased. Works exactly how it should so I don't have to worry about it. So Far So Good! By Randy on 10/23/2014 Randy would recommend this product to a friend This seems to be working like a Charm. However I did have one issue with it right away, for some reason the pump wasn't working when I first plugged it in. I unplugged it for several hours and came back to it to see what the problem was and when I plugged it back in everything worked perfectly. It has kept my tank at a perfect level so far. I have it hooked up with a 5gal tank reservoir and it has given me less time worrying about water level and more time loving my tank! Amazing Product and never fail By Michael on 10/9/2014 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I love this ATO!!! I don't ever have to add more water to my sump day in and day out. I have a 10 gal sitting inside tank stand and it lasts about 1 1/2 weeks before having to fill it again. There has been a few power surges since installing it. It has never failed to come back on or sound alarm. Thank You Tunze and Thank You BRS for carrying this item.

Time for a "Clean Slate"There's nothing like a fresh start. On his first day in office, President-elect Barack Obama could make four decisions that would start 2009 with a "clean slate" of energy policies. These four policies would have an immediate impact by cutting global-warming pollution and spurring a clean-energy economy.
We call these four policies the Clean Slate Energy Agenda:
President-elect Obama could make our clean-energy future a reality with the stroke of a pen. Please, join us in asking him to make these four requests a priority for his new administration. If you are one of the 29,000 people who have already contacted President-elect Obama, you can tell all your friends about the Clean Slate Energy Agenda here. Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope explains the Clean Slate Energy Agenda.

Pre-pregnancy nutrition is necessary to faster conception, healthy pregnancy and uneventful labor and delivery.

And once could be the right time to get pregnant? A female is most vulnerable to conceive in a day or two of ovulation. To color a clearer picture in this discussion, the optimum time to get pregnant is about 2 weeks on the first day of your last menstrual period. It is difficult to learn if your exact ovulation period happens except for couples who want to ensure, they can have intercourse days prior to expected start ovulation. Because the sperm can meet 7 days within a adult female body, it has the luxury of waiting for your ex egg. The egg can live from 12 to 1 day after release, hence, helping the likelihood of to be able to conceive. Each of us is unique. Quite simply, plumbing service to get pregnant can vary in accordance with a female's period.

ARF believes caregivers should never be forced to choose between self care and pet care. The ARF Emergency Medical Fund® (EMF) provides residents of Contra Costa County, California with affordable, high-quality, non-emergency veterinary care for their pets at ARF's clinic during times of serious financial crisis. Since 1995, the ARF Emergency Medical Fund® has been a lifeline for thousands of dogs and cats.
Stella, a sweet young cat, swallowed an object that became lodged in her intestine, causing an uncomfortable and dangerous obstruction. Her doting guardian lived on an extremely limited, fixed income and was devestated that he was unable to scrape together funds for the costly surgery necessary to remove it. Acting quickly through EMF, a skilled ARF veterinarian performed the surgery necessary to save Stella's life, and returned her home to her grateful guardian.
Inspired by calls they received from the community, ARF volunteers Bev Greenbaum, Dorothy Bullard, Elvira Clark, Enid Schlichtman, and Dolores McCoskey - the "EMF Ladies" - began making and selling crafts to raise dollars to help caregivers who couldn't afford veterinary care. The ARF Emergency Medical Fund® was formed in 1995, and is now funded by proceeds generated by the ARF Thrift Store and generous donations from the public.
Qualifying for EMF
Individuals who qualify for ARF's EMF financial assistance should contact ARF at (925) 256-1273 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please be aware that although a household may quality for EMF services, ARF cannot perform all medical services. After an application and qualifying materials are submitted, you will hear from a representative within three business days. The term "emergency" in EMF refers to the financial crisis of an owner unable to access affordable veterinary care.
