Well designed on one hand (except transparent WC door - if you're a couple it would be a surprise). But i lived in two rooms and can say they have to be repaired. Rooms are pretty noisy, breakfast is okay. Staff is very helpful. Location isn't impressive but there're different car rentals and subway station nerby. Also you'll find a bunch of nice restaurants not too far from Granados 83.

The pool shown on the photographs is extremly small in reality. There is no chance for swimming. the pool is only about 5 meters long. Okay, 4 Person can sit in it, which may be fun to people located in a desert. Another point that was not okay: The walls in my room were a little bit dirty. Painted with shoe polish and other things. I better don´t wanted to know the details... The rubber around the bathtub should be renowed. There was mud on it. That´s not the guilt of the cleaning personal, it´s a case for renovation. Besides to those points my room was really clean. Cool furniture and flooring in it, good TV. And the room size was only adequate. Okay, maybe the rooms in a highly recommended 4star hotel should be greater. Just bad: it was very loud due to very thin walls. The design of the other parts of the granados83 is simply great and the service was demonstrative friendly. Location is okay. You can walk to all the points of interest in the city and if you don´t want to walk - there is a medro station nearby. The district (near balmes and the upper rambles) looks quite safe - there are quarters in barcelona i don´t want to walk throgh at night. I paid 91€ per night for a single room without breakfast. This was absolutly okay and a good deal. But the regular price (up to 140€ and more) is too high´in my eyes. But you should know: Even if you get cheap rooms - it´s an design hotel and a real cool location, which means that you may look kind of dislocated with leasure wear. Zebrano wood, marble and lot´s of glass suits not really to trekking clothes in my eyes. :-)

The hotel is modern and very striking in its design - the lift and access to the floors are spectacular! The room was perfectly clean and of the same modern design. The lighting system took a little getting used to as the room key is necessary to make it work. The breakfast was good but expensive and the restaurant prices were high. An very enjoyable stay.

One of the funkiest, coolest hotels I've stayed in. Achitecture/decor are ultra-modern, but warm and welcoming at the same time. Beds are very comfortable, shower is excellent. VERY CLEAN. Great outdoor roof bar. Location is GREAT -- close to Ramblas to walk safely even later at night, but far enough to be quiet. Plent of great restaurants/bars within the surrounding blocks. My only complaint, which was common to all of my hotel experiences in Spain, is that staff are not as forthcoming with information or as helpful with arranging activities/reservations as US hotels. Granados was much better than others, but still not what I'm used to.

A very well located hotel with a friendly staff. There are many fine restraurants in teh area, so you can come home to the Granados in teh evening and freshen-up and then enjoy a pleasant place to eat close by. The neighborhood is very quiet, yet you can walk to the Gaudi houses and Cathederal in ten minutes.

Is there a way to make the comment a mandatory field?
I don't like it. I feel the voting will be more honest if it's kept confidential. I mean, who wants to get into an argument because they voted negative and that person takes it personally. After a couple of times, people may quit voting negatively all together and then you may be back where you started to begin with. And I have to agree with Woy, I'd post @$&#^*% instead of giving a reason or comment just because I don't like be forced to do anything. The way I look at voting negative is the same way I look at booing the players on the field, you have to keep doing something pretty bad for that to happen and no comment is necessary.Originally Posted by Boss-Hog
The comment field is there for people who choose to utilize it. If anyone wants to give props to a member of Live or offer encouragement, thats fine. If someone feels the need to offer constructive criticism, I think thats fine too. No need to make it mandatory. IMO

Jean Genet
Jean Genet (zhäN zhənā´), 1910–86, French dramatist. Deserted by his parents as an infant, Genet spent much of his early life in reformatories and prisons. Between 1940 and 1948 he wrote several autobiographical prose narratives dealing with homosexuality and crime, including Our Lady of the Flowers (tr. 1949, repr. 1963) and The Thief's Journal (tr. 1964). In 1948 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for theft, but he was pardoned through the efforts of important French writers, including Gide, Sartre, and Cocteau. Genet's first two plays, Les Bonnes (1947; tr. The Maids, 1954) and Haute Surveillance (1949; tr. Deathwatch, 1954), established him as a dramatist concerned with theater as ritual and ceremony. Considered classic examples of the theater of the absurd, his dramas portray a world of outcasts in revolt against everything that renders humans helpless, subservient, and alone. His later plays include The Balcony (tr. 1958), in which the patrons of a brothel act out their fantasies as a revolution progresses in the streets, and The Blacks (tr. 1960), a
"clown show"
in which black actors play the roles of their white oppressors. Other works include the play The Screens (tr. 1962) and Querelle (tr. 1974).
See his Reflections on the Theatre (tr. 1972); J.-P. Sartre, Saint Genet (1952, tr. 1963); biography by E. White, Genet (1993); and studies by R. N. Coe (1970), B. Knapp (1968, rev. ed. 1989), and H. Stewart (1989).

PRLog - Aug. 16, 2012 - Out of the blue, emerges this marvelous poetry collection, delving into such diverse topics as emotion, human fallacy and the beauty of nature. In Lightning: A Collection of Poetry is a delightful personal collection that showcases an eclectic mix of subjects in a totally unique way.
In Lightning
Author Christopher Spencer describes his poem "Childhood"
"Will" was the first poem written in the collection and took the longest to complete, at nearly two months. Finishing the poem gave the author the willpower to move forward and write the other poems in his book. As "Will" says, "Alas, Everest appears not so high/ Suddenly, it seems quite possible to climb." And for all of us with our own mountain to climb, these calming words let us know that everything is possible!

HEA contributor Jessie Potts has a heart-to-heart with MaryJanice Davidson, author of Undead and Unsure, the latest in her popular Undead series …
Jessie: It's such a pleasure to have you at HEA! When I first read Undead and Unwed (book one of the Undead series), I almost had an accident …
MaryJanice: I'm so sorry. That must have been terrible.
Jessie: ... every other chapter. How do you write such humorous heroines?
MaryJanice: I'm stuffed to the brim with immaturity. That's my deep dark secret (which now that I think about it is neither deep nor dark). You know those annoying people who snicker when you say something like "duty" and they hear "doodie"? Yeah. I'm in the running for Queen O' the Snarks. The silly antics that would get me in trouble at school have put me on the best-seller list. So I guess the moral here is ignore your teach... never mind. That's not the moral. Probably.
Jessie: Oh, and your blog is so much fun. Were you always this comedic?
MaryJanice: I'm afraid so. I can't not write funny. It's literally the only way I know how to do it. (Heh. I said "do it.") Having to sit and write a serious anything is pure punishment. And weird things happen to me all the time which I end up writing about on my blog (like when my car tried to kill me again, crossing paths with a bear at our summer cabin, battling a bat at the same summer cabin ... maybe I should start closing the doors and windows up there, keep out some of the wildlife ...) because the only side I usually see is the funny side. What I get a kick out of is having fans who have never read any of my books, but they follow my blog every week. Hey, the blog's free and the economy has been in the crapper for a decade. Whatever works, right?
Jessie: Have you always known how Betsy would grow as a character or was it a surprise trip for you?
MaryJanice: Huuuuuge surprise. Since my character hasn't grown much since my 20s, I wouldn't expect someone I made up to experience much growth, either. Heck, when I wrote the first Betsy book, Undead and Unwed, I had no idea, none, that it would be a career-defining, genre-defining book, the first of over a dozen in the series, the first of over 70 published books, the first on my road to the best-seller list, the first on my road to being published in 15 countries. No idea it would utterly change my life and my family's lives. I just wanted to get the picture in my head — a vampire waking up in a morgue in Payless shoes, which is more upsetting to her than being a vampire — onto paper. The rest is history and mystery: I've got no idea why the books sell so well — they're just me having fun — but I am so, so grateful. I've got the greatest readers in the world. People bring my books to their dialysis sessions, they bring them to chemo, they buy them for friends to cheer them up, they write me and tell me my books have helped them through a crisis in their lives, they write me and tell me my books make them want to be a writer ... it's all so incredibly humbling.
And, yep, quite to my surprise Betsy's grown in 11 books. She's happily married, she's a little more resigned to her responsibilities, she's killed people, she's fought for her friends' lives. She's made some hard choices and knew, going in, she'd have to take responsibility for them. On the other hand, she's also still a vain jerk who would rather shop than drink blood.
Jessie: What's next for Betsy and Sink-lair and the rest of the gang?
MaryJanice: Well, Betsy's sister (Laura, the Anti-Christ) has inherited Hell ... but she thinks since it's Betsy's fault that Hell even has a vacancy at the top spot, Betsy should at the least help run the place. Which does not go over well. At all. (Can you imagine how much running Hell would cut into shoe shopping?) As for Sinclair, at the end of Undead and Unstable ...
(SPOILER ALERT for the end of Unstable)
... he found he could bear sunlight for the first time in decades — he can even go to church again! — and to say he's giddy is an understatement. He's literally playing in traffic in broad daylight when he's not taking his new puppies for long daytime walks (yeah, puppies, two of 'em, black Labs, and they're peeing on everything ... EVERYTHING!). Betsy often finds herself saying things like, "I gotta go, the king of the vampires is playing in traffic again." So she's a bit on her own when it comes to dealing with the many Hellish problems coming her way. But she's so happy to see Sinclair in his joy, it's hard to work up the angst to really complain.
Jessie: What projects are you currently working on?
MaryJanice: I'm just finishing (as in, I typed "The End" last week and am just finishing edits before subjecting my poor editor to it) the first book in my new series, Deja New. It's a world where reincarnation is real, and people can remember their past lives (their joys, sorrows, their screw-ups, their buyer's remorse ...) with the help of Insighters, who are like family therapists with superpowers. The heroine is expecting to be murdered any day (she's been killed by the same guy in her last three lives) and the hero is "life-blind" ... one of those rare people who have zero access to their past lives. I got to do a lot of fun research on reincarnation and balisong knives (the heroine keeps one in her bra). And, of course, there's the next Undead book to jump into ... can't wait!
Jessie: What is the funniest thing that's happened to you while writing?
MaryJanice: That I became a best-selling author! That's hilarious and humbling to me and probably always will be.
Jessie: What is your favorite character from your book? From any book?
MaryJanice: Betsy Taylor, reluctant vampire queen, has to go at the top of my list. She's vain, dim, self-absorbed, tall ... shut up, she's nothing like me. (OK. She's a lot like me. We're both recovering Miss Congenialities.) I also like Fred the grumpy mermaid from Sleeping with the Fishes (she can't swim, is allergic to shellfish, does not have perfect boobs, and makes Dr. House look like a congenial, friendly fellow.).
Favorite character from any book, that's tougher ... Scarlett O'Hara comes immediately to mind (I love how she's aware of her many rotten qualities, her vanity and greed and selfishness, and doesn't give a damn), as does Lucas Davenport from John Sandford's Prey series. Lucas is a millionaire cop who has no problem bending the rules to get the bad guy; Sandford does a great job of letting us in his head. Burke from Andrew Vachss' books is also an incredible character: He's a massively damaged adult who endured grotesque sexual and physical abuse as a child and is now something of an avenger. He's the da Vinci of caution ("The lawyer was a shark, but he couldn't bite people who didn't go near the water.") and very difficult to get the drop on (among other things, he's hyper-vigilant). When he's not scamming or robbing, he's running around executing pedophiles who slip through the cracks. He's a terrifying man who does dreadful things and you are totally on his side through every book.
Jessie: Besides being hilarious, do you have any unique talents?
MaryJanice: I used to be a model and a medical test subject, though never at the same time. And since we didn't have much money when I was a kid, I know how to fish and hunt for my supper. And I used to win awards in speech in high school, which comes in handy when I speak to 200 people at a writers' conference. I've got no problem standing in a room full of strangers and oversharing the weirdness that is my life. That might fall under "unique" but maybe not under "talent."
Jessie: OK, so now some rapid-fire, fun questions …
Salty or sweet?
MaryJanice: Sweet! I have the biggest sweet tooth. It's almost as big as my butt. So ... big! Really, really big. Uh, sweet tooth, I mean.
Jessie: Favorite writing snack?
MaryJanice: Hot chocolate! Which is the last thing I want to be drinking in this heat, but I'm a slave to all my bad habits. Don't tell me about chocolate milk. I know all about chocolate milk, and it's not the same. IT'S NOT THE SAME!
Jessie: Current book you're reading?
MaryJanice: Phantom Prey by John Sandford. As above I've been a Lucas Davenport fan for years. Sandford can show his readers that even the bleakest situation has a funny side. I'm also halfway through The Tigress of Forli, about Caterina Sforza, who I'm embarrassed to admit I'd never heard of until I got hooked on The Borgias. After the Borgias themselves, she was my favorite and I love that she was even more bad-ass in real life than the show made her out to be. Yeah, I'm one of those annoying people who see something on TV I had no idea existed and only then do I seek out the books (see also: Game of Thrones).
Jessie: Favorite childhood book?
MaryJanice: This interview probably isn't supposed to run to 100 pages when printed out, so I'll just hit a few: Gone With the Wind, all the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, The Girl With the Silver Eyes, the Narnia books (except for the last one where they all died; c'mon, Mr. Lewis, what the hell?), The Secret Garden, the James Herriot books (All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Wise and Wonderful, etc.), It by Stephen King, the entire Elfquest saga (Wendy Pini is a demigod to me), and Phule's Company. That's a smidgen. I practically lived in my local library. If they'd ever let me put a cot in the back room, I would have!
Jessie: Favorite villain?
MaryJanice: Right now, because I'm a Cumberbimbo, it's Khan from Star Trek Into Darkness. I heart Benedict Cumberbatch so much.
Jessie: Cowboy or Highlander?
MaryJanice: Highlander, baby. Davidson is a Scottish name. We've got the crest and the clan colors and everything. Clan Davidson forever, cowboys never! Or at least, cowboys in second place.
Thanks so much for such great questions! : )

I partly agree, partly disagree.
From what I've seen, most pros have their index finger
touching the middle finger, but with a slight gap forming between the two with the index either bowing upward or outward. Typically, this is combined with the index tip pressing up against the thumb.
I think the extent of this finger separation depends on:
1. How far down the heel pad is from the index knuckle
2. whether they are forming a loop with their index and thumb, or if they keep their thumbs outside,
3. how they "feel" the handle to make sure they have the right grip.
Anyway, I think pretty much every pro avoid significant lateral separation between the fingers. A big gap between the fingers is a sign the heel pad isn't far down enough.
^^^ I would argue that this slight gap by Almagro happens mainly because his finger is pressed up against his thumb (forming a loop), which prevents the index finger from fully closing on the handle. He may also be doing this so he can feel bevel 4 with his finger tip.
^^^ same with Stan.
Whatever the cause, these gaps are
compared to what I see some coaches promote.
What happens when we move the thumb out of the way?
^^^ once the thumb is out of the way, the index finger can close down fully. Note how Kuerten's thumb is to the side of his fingers, not underneath.
^^^ same with Pete.
Overall, I think the absence of a gap isn't an immediate warning sign. However, a big gap between the fingers is likely a big problem.

Martinez replaces Horiguchi, steps in to face Cariaso at UFC 169
A training injury has forced Kyoji Horiguchi out of his scheduled bout at UFC 169 against fellow flyweight Chris Cariaso. In his place steps former Ultimate Fighter 18 hopeful Danny Martinez, who accepts the bout on just over two weeks' notice until fight time.
UFC officials confirmed the change on Wednesday.
Danny Martinez (16-4) will make his UFC debut when he steps up to face Cariaso on Feb 1. A veteran of several regional promotions as well as a brief stint in the WEC where he took on Joseph Benavidez, Martinez enters the Octagon on a three-fight win streak.
Martinez was part of the Ultimate Fighter season 18, but lost in his elimination round bout against eventual finalist Davey Grant by submission.
Now, the 20-fight veteran will look for redemption when he steps up and steps in to face Cariaso at UFC 169 in Newark, New Jersey.

TEMECULA: Consultants answer Liberty Quarry questions during open house
Event in Temecula first of three Granite is hosting this week
"It's more refined," he said of the reserve data.
Hired guns
Ahead of the open house, the event was pilloried by project critics who said the scientists and consultants were "hired guns" employed by Granite to push the project through.
Buntin and some of the other consultants, including the Urban Crossroads representative who worked on the traffic study that detailed the effect the project could have on county roads, addressed that criticism, saying that their work is in line with the standards set by government regulators.
"It has to pass muster with the county," Buntin said.

On Sunday, England concluded a massive humiliation of India, beating the tourists by an innings and 244 runs in the 5th and final Test at The Oval. The defeat meant India lost the series 1-3. India also suffered the ignominy of losing two consecutive tests in under three days.
While India's new generation of batsmen - Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli in particular - are being reviled for their abysmal performance in this series, the ultimate blame lies at the captain's - MS Dhoni's - door.
MS Dhoni has now lost 11 away tests as captain, including six innings defeats to England and Australia. In press conferences, Dhoni comes across as reticent. He does not yield to emotion - rather he smiles, blames either the batsmen or the bowlers (or both) and hopes to do well next time. He does not give anything away. Then it all goes away when India beat a middling side at home, and we are back to square one.
Even that did not happen when England beat India in India 2-1 in 2012, but it was soon forgotten in the cacophony of Sachin Tendulkar's impending retirement, among other things. An impromptu 2-Test series against West Indies was announced and one Test match in South Africa was sacrificed. India beat the hapless Windies comfortably, Tendulkar retired with grace and all was forgiven.
The results of India's Test series after the 2011 World Cup show an interesting trend. England first thrashed India 4-0 in England. India beat the West Indies 2-0 at home and 1-0 away. They also beat Australia 4-0 at home, a result many considered 'revenge' for the 0-4 drubbing in Australia in 2011-12. India defeated West Indies again at home, 2-0, in Tendulkar's retirement series. Incredibly, they lost 1-2 to England at home in what will go down as one of the most shocking series defeats for an Indian side in decades. Then followed 0-1 losses in South Africa and New Zealand. Fighters away from home? Not at all. Tigers at home? Not quite.
Excuses aplenty
There was always a reason for the losses away from home under Dhoni. In England in 2011, India's batting greats were aging, with the exception of Rahul Dravid. Sachin Tendulkar was supposedly preoccupied with scoring his 100th international century.
In Australia, even Dravid was ageing, and Sachin Tendulkar was still occupied with that elusive 100th ton. India's bowling attack was inexperienced and Zaheer Khan too, was past his prime. Harbhajan Singh was a dud who was nevertheless a 'nemesis' for the Australians.
Against England at home, India had no excuses for the 1-2 loss, but that was quickly brushed under the carpet as the annual cash cow, IPL, came along. The focus all year had been on inconsequential ODI series, Tendulkar's 100th century, and on other things not cricket. In South Africa and in New Zealand this year, India's batting side was inexperienced, and Zaheer was no longer even part of the team. It was inevitable then, that we would lose.
The IPL distraction
Every time India faced shocking defeat, a distraction arrived to take away from the gravity of the moment. The most obvious one is the Indian Premier League, which runs for well over six weeks, and features 74 matches.
It occupies all of India's summer season. Secondly, it demands skills which find little value in Test cricket, such as the appetite for big shots and bowling focused on saving runs. Thirdly, it leads to mental and physical fatigue, which means the team struggles to be ready for the tours that follow. Lastly, it puts Test cricketers the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara into unfamiliar territory and demands performance. The resulting failures are obviously the result of muddled priorities.
Dhoni's misplaced priorities
But MS Dhoni says and does nothing. Indeed, he smiles when the Board smiles, he plays his heart out in the IPL and revels in captaining the Chennai Super Kings - the best team in the IPL which is almost entirely made up of bits-and-pieces Indian players. Unlike Australian captain Michael Clarke, who sat out from the IPL to preserve his health and encouraged other Australian players to do so, MS Dhoni is at the forefront of everything IPL. The incredible camaraderie between him and N Srinivasan is well known.
The surfeit of Twenty20 cricket is followed by a surfeit of ODI cricket. MS Dhoni's claim to fame mostly lies in his credentials in the shorter forms of the game - winning the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, the Champions Trophy, 2 seasons of the IPL, and the Champions League. Incidentally, he also took India to the status of No 1 ranked Test nation. However, that rise to No 1 was a result of beating several teams at home.
While Dhoni's trophy cabinet is full, his failures have been arguably more spectacular and impactful. For 10 years prior to 2011, India had never conceded a Test series abroad without a fight. In 2011, India were whitewashed by both Australia and England. The loss to England at home the following year was India's first series defeat at home in eight years. Then followed expected away losses to South Africa and New Zealand, and finally England.
Unimaginative captaincy
But mere poor results can be put down to a poor or underperforming side. What has compounded the problem is Dhoni's own unimaginative Test captaincy. Despite having Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli in the side in Australia, Dhoni refused to tinker with the failing batting order. Kohli was finally called into the playing XI when it was too late - in the third test against Australia with India 0-2 down. In England this year, Dhoni played R Ashwin on seaming wickets. He did not call Gambhir into action until the fourth Test, which meant the veteran got too few chances in the face of a desperate, dispirited Indian side.
Dhoni has also been consistently defensive as captain, refusing to place attacking fields for long periods of time, lacking innovation with bowling changes, and playing for a draw when a win was possible.
Credit where credit is NOT due
Yet Dhoni gets credit for his 'ingenuity' whenever India manage a pathbreaking victory. The most recent example of this is Dhoni asking Ishant Sharma to bowl short at the England batsmen during the second innings of the Lord's Test. The strategy succeeded not because Ishant was bowling unplayable bouncers, but because a lot of the English batsmen are compulsive hookers of the cricket ball who eventually cracked in the face of sustained short bowling, even if it was wayward at times. Ishant ended up receiving far more reward than he deserved, and the credit went to Dhoni. It was a strategy that could have backfired spectacularly against a less callous batting line up. The relative ineptitude of Ishant the bowler and Dhoni the captain in the Tests that followed adds substance to this theory.
MS Dhoni is a successful limited overs captain, but his mindset has remained constricted to those formats.
No worthy successor
The last aspect of the problem involves choosing a worthy successor to Dhoni, should the BCCI decide to sack him. While Virat Kohli was until last year being touted as the best contender, his awful performance in England exposed not only technical faults but also a general lack of confidence. Thus, it would be foolish to turn over the captaincy to Kohli now.
Unfortunately, there are no other players who can make a strong enough claim to the captaincy. Pujara is too inexperienced and is also going through a bad patch. Gambhir is no longer permanent in the side, R Ashwin is not good enough abroad to even merit a place in every match, and Ishant Sharma, despite playing 58 Tests, is still the worst bowling 'spearhead' in recent times. Moreover, it has to be beyond coincidence that nearly every vice-captain India has tried during Dhoni's reign - Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli - has ended up in poor form. Sehwag seems to have lost his place forever and Gambhir has not covered himself in glory after his return.
India therefore may have no choice but to retain Dhoni as captain for now. The matter has been discussed by cricket experts and in the media since 2011, and yet we have no worthy alternative. This very fact may also point to India's inability to move beyond Dhoni and groom captains for the future, a matter that needs to be addressed with the utmost urgency.

This was about as middle of the road as it gets as far as stringing. Natural gut mains, and a medium stiff poly. Not buttery smooth like CoFocus or a Weisscannon offering, but not like Alien. In other words, just what you'd expect. No notching, knots were easy and it just looks nice. Strung 42/38.
As I've said before, this setup is unique. Not groundbreaking or earth shattering, but simply unique. With that said, it's speciality does not line up with my goals. The strings feel as though they simply absorb incoming pace and redirect it with the same amount regardless. This would work if you play defensively or a pushing oriented counter-punching game. Seeing as I do neither, it doesn't work for me. Not the spin I was expecting, and the lack of flat shot ability makes it hard to close off points.
Overall: 7.5/10
Unimpressed for the same reasons as above. There is simply just not enough solid power transfer. It makes every serve want to be super consistent. That's fine if you want to play that sort of game. Considering I serve to the corners and the body, that's not really useful for me. There isn't enough spin again to make it hard to return. It sits up on anything but the fastest of hard courts (extrapolation since 99% of recreational hard courts are slow).
Overall: 8/10
Interesting here. You would expect to have a lot of feel and be able to place volleys as you please, but it doesn't really work that way. You end up making more errors at the net than you expect because again the stringbed sucks the ball into it, and you need to toss it into the court. That's not good for an offensive volley. Overheads are much the same.
Overall: 7/10
Nothing broken here and no notching. String movement and snap-back is excellent, and due to the low tension, I would say the gut will last a long time. However, the poly likely will run out of steam quickly. I can't say that without having it happen, but it's a common trend with low tension setups.
Overall: 8/10
What we have here is a very specific player's setup. If you play defense, you owe it to yourself to try this. If you are a pusher, you must put this in your racquet. If you counter-punch, fool around with the tension. If you play all-court, serve-volley or baselining, look elsewhere. This is not for the offensive player. Your shots will not penetrate with any troubling pace or action. Will they go in? Yes. Will that be relevant since your opponent can dictate the point until he makes an error? Not at all. So it's really up to your game, and because of that, I can't rate it poorly since it just didn't work for me. I'll give it a slightly higher rating as I can see players with other styles loving its characteristics.
Overall: 8.25/10

My Dog loved them...but
posted 6 years ago
My dogs loved to get these. I just had to make sure that they chewed they very well, since they tended to act like rawhide in the way that if they just tried to eat the whole thing after getting it all moist and slimey, they would get choked on them. I had to break them into smaller pieces or just play tug-o-war with them while they were eatting it. You should make pig ear pieces.
Pros: The dogs always enjoyed them
Cons: They acted too much like rawhides

With the cornucopia of fan controllers and temperature monitors on the market today it's not very often that you run across one that brings a whole lot more to the table. Today we're taking a look at one that brings more than just fan speed control and simple temp reporting.
By this point I'm sure that most of you (My editor included) are wondering "Where in the heck are the pics?" Well, I'm getting to that.
The CFA-635 (As I'm going to call it from here on out for the sake of my sanity) arrived in what is comparably a tiny box. No huge box filled with peanuts for this bad boy. The module was packed in its own anti-static bubble envelope with the SCAB pre-attached. I like it when some of the guesswork is removed from the equation. The external USB cable was in a standard poly bag while the sensors, internal USB cable, fan extensions, WERXTY15 and power cable were all in their own poly bags inside another anti-static bubble envelope.
The face of the CFA-635 has a plastic film over the face of it to prevent any sort of damage in shipping. The film is die cut to allow the buttons to protrude through it thereby not being mashed by it during the entire time the unit is in storage and in transit. Nice touch. With it removed you can see the beauty of the bay mount. I love the look of brushed aluminum.

Reviews for: Wacholz Farm Grass-fed Meats
Average Review:
1 review
Excellent Product
By: Szara Loring (Feb 16, 2014)
We have been buying from Cazzi Wacholz for four years. We purchase both grass fed beef and pastured pork every year. The pork is a revelation. Once you have this pork you will never be able to go back to pork from the supermarket.
Cazzi has a very high quality product and he continually is working on improving by selective breeding, rotational grazing, and development of the land. His commitment to restoring his land to a diverse, nourishing environment is commendable. If you are looking for responsible raised, grass fed meat, this is the farmer for you.

Recently, we told you about President Obama's Executive Order increasing the minimum wage for employees of federal contractors to $10.10 per hour. Tomorrow, President Obama is expected to announce that he will sign two new executive orders that will apply to federal contractors: (1) one order will forbid retaliation by federal contractors against employees that discuss their compensation with other employees; and (2) the other order will require federal contractors to maintain certain records on compensation organized by race and gender, and report that data to the federal government. These Orders are being issued to further advance the Administration's cause of equal pay for women.
Approximately 25% of the U.S. workforce engages in federal contracting at least in part, including large, well-known businesses like Northrop Grumman and Boeing and a host of smaller manufacturers, suppliers, and service companies. Unlike the recent minimum wage order, which applied only to new and certain renewed contracts because of the change in compensation rates, these orders could be implemented immediately and apply to all contractors, making these orders' potential impact much wider.
The pay confidentiality order follows the National Labor Relations Board rule long enforced in the private sector that prohibits employers from taking action against employees who discuss their terms and conditions of employment with others. This Executive Order's language is expected to be somewhat narrower than the NLRB rule and target only those discussions about compensation, rather than all terms and conditions of employment. Also, the Order is expected to draw language similar to that in the Paycheck Fairness Act that the Senate will consider this week. The timing of the Order may relate to the fact that this Act is unlikely to pass the Senate, and has almost no chance of passage through the GOP-controlled House.
President Obama is also expected to sign a second order instructing Department of Labor Secretary Thomas Perez to create new regulations requiring federal contractors to report summary compensation data to the government, including breakdowns by gender and race. White House officials hope that the records will encourage other employers to voluntarily submit such data to the government. The Order could also highlight potential pay disparities for study by federal contractors, other employers, researchers and employee rights' advocates alike. Alleviating pay disparity between the genders has been a continuing issue championed by the Obama Administration. When it raised the minimum wage, the White House argued that such action works toward closing the gender pay gap.
While the Orders continue President Obama's aggressive approach on wage and hour and discrimination issues in the workplace, history shows us that similar executive actions are not uncommon. In 1941, President Roosevelt outlawed discrimination based on race, color, creed and national origin in the federal government and defense industries, an order that President Kennedy expanded in 1961. More recently, President George W. Bush added the requirement that federal contractors use E-Verify to confirm that all new hires have valid authorizations to work in the United States.

you must own this jacket!
I loooooove this jacket. The fit is perfect. I usually wear a medium and that is what I ordered and it fits my bod just as it should. I love how it has a waistline. It has just the right amount of insulation too. The look is feminine, but not too girly. Best jacket ever.
