Legend has it that long ago, before the Aztecs, the god Quetz chose the Tadarida bat to care for and proliferate the fruit of Opuntiathe tuna, or prickly pear. Since then Fortuna Rojathe red-crested vanguardhas warded the little fruit from feasting predator insects and carried its pollen across countries and continents as the cacti have travelled from their source in ancient Tenochtitlan. This stunningly bright-hued beer is our homage to the efforts of the Fortuna Roja, its intense tartness curbed only by the fullness imparted by the tunas during its long torpor in oaken barrels. ¡VIVA FORTUNA ROJA!

Apparently the Lightning skaters didn't get any "effort" for Christmas.
Karri Ramo allowed 3 goals on 31 shots in the loss including the late game winning goal which came on a shot which was deflected off a stick on the way in that Ramo stopped with his shoulder, popped into the air, and was eventually pushed in accidentally by Martin St. Louis and Paul Ranger. Tough way to take the loss for the kid.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs rotation bounces back in May
The Arizona Diamonbacks' 14-13 record in May ranked third in the NL. Even with the improvement, the team sits 15 games out of the NL West and 7.5 games back from the second wild card.
After a disastrous start in March and April, the D-backs played better baseball in May by taking six of nine series.
How bad was that start?
After April, the D-backs were in last place in MLB at 9-22, including 3-15 at home. Out of 10 series, the team won one and split another.
The main culprit to the horrendous start was shaky starting pitching, with starters carrying a 5-18 record and a 6.29 ERA.
Right-handers Trevor Cahill and Randall Delgado were relegated to the bullpen after fizzling in the rotation. Cahill lost all four starts with a 9.17 ERA, while Delgado lasted just two starts and gave up nine runs in 7.1 innings pitched.
Pitchers Bronson Arroyo, Brandon McCarthy and Wade Miley all struggled, which was puzzling because of their proven track records.
In May, the starting pitching improved dramatically with an 11-8 record and a 3.72 ERA. Arroyo had the most noticeable improvement, shaving his ERA from 7.77 in April to 4.39 where it stands now.
Outfielder A.J. Pollock also burst onto the scene in May. Unfortunately, he fractured his right hand May 31, but was hitting .375 and stole eight bases in the month.
Even with the improvements on the mound, the D-backs still have the worst ERA (4.47) and run differential (-65) in MLB.
A 4.47 ERA doesn't sound terrible, but today's pitching-dominated world is a different era. The last time the MLB-worst ERA finished lower than 4.47 was in 1981 when the Seattle Mariners had a 4.23 ERA.

Nova Specialty Surgery is the first to bring the concept of standalone state of the art Ambulatory surgical centers in India. Each Nova center is a fully equipped Short Stay medical facility located conveniently in your neighborhood. It brings cutting edge medical technology and internationally trained physicians under one roof to give patients easy access to quality, affordable healthcare.
When benign enlargement of prostate occurs, it may require treatment in the form of medicines or surgery. If medical treatment fails to treat such a condition then the patient requires surgical removal of the prostate gland which is most adequately done by Holmium laser.
Holmium Enucleation of the Prostatic Adenoma (HoLEP)
This is a Laser based application that consists in drilling around the adenoma of prostate, separate in from the capsule and push it in the bladder using a modified cystoscope (operation performed through the urethra). Then a special instrument called morcellator is introduced always through the urethra in order to remove in small pieces the adenoma. A catheter is introduced for a few hours.
Advantages of Holmium Laser:
High risk patients can also undergo laser prostatectomy- Laser prostatectomy is an extremely safe procedure in high risk patients such as those with heart disease, pacemakers, anticoagulation therapy etc.
Prostrate disease doesn't recur after laser prostatectomy- Laser prostatectomy results in complete removal of the prostate gland and therefore does not allow re-growth of prostate gland.
Medical Tourism In India
Without a doubt, India has become the medical tourism capital of the modern world. Offering the latest technological advances, experienced and expert physicians and surgeons and the very best in patient care, India has secured her place in the world as a premier medical travel destination. Specializing in orthopedic, cardiac, transplant and plastic and cosmetic surgical procedures, India is also a leader in nuclear medicine, neurosurgery and cancer procedures. American medical travelers flock to India for such treatments because of the enormous savings to be had - nearly a tenth of the cost of procedures and surgeries in the U.S. It's no wonder that medical tourism in India is increasing at a rate of about 30% a year.

Latest update July 25th, 2016 12:59 AM
The now old topic of "extra lessons" for schoolchildren is in the headlines once again. It had cropped up before in the last month but in a tangential and ancillary fashion: one child was robbed; another was stabbed and killed outside of "lessons places". But with a new administration; new Minister of Education and a "New Dispensation", the specific jejune scholastic conundrum of "why lessons" has reared its head once again.
Mr. Olato Sam, the Chief Education Officer (CEO), in an engagement with South Georgetown teachers, which seemed to have created a considerable amount of heat, failed however to cast any new light on the phenomenon. Mr. Sam expressed the familiar lament of officials from the education establishment: he was 'troubled' that children are now 'dragged' to lessons by their parents as early as Grade Two. Such children would be only seven. The good educator waxed eloquently (and perhaps, nostalgically) – "Children should be playing and having fun and enjoying their lives, climbing trees, scooting and falling down, scraping themselves and running around and enjoying their afternoons."
Almost a decade after the Ministry of Education (MoE) scrapped the "Common Entrance" and substituted "Assessments" at Grades 2,4,and 6, the CEO bewailed the reality that 'some' teachers still believe the "Assessments" are the same as "Examinations". He should be thankful that there are any teachers in the system who could discern a difference. The first two "Assessments", after all, contribute marks to the final National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) which is in no way distinguishable from the old "Common Entrance". It determines which of the 'premier" secondary school the graduates end up in – and solid signifier of future success in Guyana.
Can the CEO say which secondary schools in Guyana use the NGSA scores to offer customised teaching to their incoming 7th Grade students? Or for that matter, which third or fifth grade teachers use the preceding Assessments to address 'weaknesses of their charges within their own school? Yet as we reported, the CEO "expounded that an assessment is one that is intended to ascertain what areas students are doing well in as well as those areas in which they are struggling so that teachers could be better informed when planning for Grades Three and Four."
All we can say is that the "Assessment" innovation needs to be re-assessed on its foundational premises. Do we have the systems in place to utilise the Assessments and deliver tailored interventions to students? Are the questions on Assessments any different from the "Exams"? Has the teaching methodology been altered one iota from the "teaching to tests" culture? When the Assessments were introduced, this newspaper posited that we were simply adding to the pressures on the students at an earlier age. We predicted the earlier entry into the 'lesson' culture for the simple reason that the Assessments were and seen as predictors of academic success.
And it is for this reason that we are quite apprehensive of the pilot program the CEO mentioned that is being introduced into Nursery Schools. What exactly is this? Are we now going to push 'lessons" further down the chain? What Mr. Sam and the rest of the educators from Brickdam must realise is that until the teachers in the schools deliver the material on the curriculum, within the requisite time, 'lessons" will continue to be with us.
The bottom line is that this goal remains the exception rather than the rule in the public school system. One private school, the Saraswatie Vidya Niketan on the West Coast of Demerara, has forbidden any 'extra lessons" either by teachers from the school or others. Teachers of the school are required to provide extra coaching on the school premises to cover the curriculum before exams. Their results in the short time they have been around demonstrate that the solution to solving our low overall educational achievements is not to censure parents for attempting to fill gaps in the delivery of the educational product in the schools.
Teachers must be motivated to teach in the schools.

The 'Uncertainty' and 'Turmoil' Facing Air France-KLM
25:24 - Air France-KLM Group said its markets are deteriorating as fares fall and France's standing as a tourist hotspot is undermined by a succession of terrorist attacks that have spanned Paris to the Riviera. Europe's largest airline said Wednesday there is "special concern about France as a destination" amid the Islamic State-inspired killings. Fuel savings that lifted second-quarter operating profit 77 percent will also be "more than offset" over the year as a fare drop prompted by overcapacity clips revenue.

Paying heavy price for feeling bulletproof
'I ignored everything'BRONWYN TORRIE
Relevant offers
He's huge, he's in serious kidney failure and he's lost the feeling in both legs.
Alistair Remihana, 47, has type-2 diabetes and he's battling a raft of medical conditions, all of which could have been prevented.
The Wellington man was found to have diabetes 15 years ago, but advice from doctors and nurses fell on deaf ears because he thought he was bulletproof. "I ignored everything."
Playing rugby, basketball, golf and surfing wasn't enough to mitigate the litres of fizzy drink he guzzled every day, and the fatty fried food he gorged on.
Three years ago, the former chef began paying the price when his body "hit a brick wall".
Nerve damage took away the feeling in both legs from his thighs down, and he cannot use his right arm and hand.
He needs a walking stick and has had "all sorts of weird and wonderful things" done to his eyes to prevent him from going blind.
Mr Remihana spoke while hooked up to a dialysis machine at Wellington Hospital, where he spends between four and five hours three times a week.
He weighed about 160 kilograms when he started dialysis about six months ago.
He lost about 28kg, but has since put it back on.
A thick needle is inserted into his arm to draw blood, which is then flushed through a machine that does the same job as a healthy person's kidneys.
He will need dialysis for the rest of his life unless he is lucky enough to have a kidney transplant.
Bariatric surgery is on the cards to help him get his body mass index down to qualify for a transplant.
He's eating more healthily and has swapped the sugar-laden fizzy drinks for soda water - he discovered he was addicted to the bubbles rather than the sweetness.
"Long gone are the breakfasts of six fried eggs, half a loaf of bread and half a kg of bacon."
Mr Remihana's situation is becoming increasingly common in New Zealand, where more that two-thirds of the population are either overweight or obese.
Diabetes rates in adults were soaring each year across the general population, Capital & Coast District Health Board endocrinologist Jeremy Krebs said.
Rates were higher among Pacific Islanders and Maori, who are also more likely to have kidney failure than other ethnicities.
Type-2 diabetes accounts for about 90 per cent of all cases. The remaining 10 per cent is type-1, which cannot be prevented.
Diet, physical activity and medication could help prevent diabetes complications including kidney failure, blindness and nerve damage, Dr Krebs said.
Type-2 diabetes can be prevented because two of the three main risk factors - obesity and sedentary lifestyle - can be controlled.
While family history cannot be changed, people can break the cycle of inter-generation health expectations where a child expects the same outcomes as their sick parents.
"They think that's their lot . . . and they don't think they can change that [but] they can."
Dr Krebs said while people could help themselves, diabetes was a "social problem" that needed across-the-board action.
"That means Government having the balls to actually address it and not hide behind this concept of 'it's personal choice' and 'it's nanny state to take on these things'."

Location, location, location! This wonderful 5 bedroom, 5 bath, 4th row home with private *heated pool is just a 2 minute walk to the beach and the Sea Pines Beach Club.

Not only does this house have a great location with plenty of parking, it also has all the amenities for a perfect family vacation.
Upon entry into the home there is a living room with comfortable seating and a card table. Whether you want to play cards or have a meal, this dual purpose table has seating for 4 with a view of the pool area. Beyond this you will find the dining room, kitchen, and main living area. The dining room has seating for 8 and additional seating for 2 at the kitchen bar. Access to the wonderful screen porch and pool area is off the living room. The screened porch overlooks the 18x14 pool. If you prefer getting some sun, the pool deck is the perfect place to relax.

Not enough can be said about the location of this house! Located right off the beach path you are just a short walk to the beach and you are right next door to the new Sea Pines Beach Club.

*Pool/Spa can be heated for $300 for the week. Please inquire when making your reservation.

We purchased this house in August 2013 and implemented our wonderful plans for this fabulous home. New roof, new windows, new bright and beachy paint and bedding, new HD and flat screen TVs, new washer/dryer, range, pool/spa heater, front entrance and much more, all completed in 2013/2014.
We have been coming to Hilton Head for over 30 years and believe it is the ideal family vacation location. Sea Pines is the premier resort in Hilton Head and like our house, it keeps getting better.
We have owned a 6 bedroom oceanfront in North Forest Beach for several years and wanted to be able to offer guests a wonderful home in Sea Pines that would be an outstanding value.
We had an amazing week! This house had a perfect layout for three kids and six adults. The house was beautiful and the location was perfect- so close to the Beach Club. I will absolutely stay here again!
What a wonderful place to have Thanksgiving. Parents, teens, college kids and grandparents. Plenty of beds, bathrooms and TVs. A really short walk to the beach. The house was extremely clean and equipped with all the essentials. Plenty of space for togetherness and yet lots of space when you wanted sometime for yourself. We hope to rent this house again as it sure fits all our needs and wants.
Our rental experience for our vacation was excellent. The house provided ample space for our large family and parents/in-laws. Everything was very clean and updated. The owner was a pleasure to work with and checked-in to make sure everything was going well and to see if we needed anything. We wanted to stay closer to the beach club and this was a perfect location. Maybe a 2 minute walk to the beach. It is also next to the bike trail which we used to go to South Beach, Harbour Town, the nature preserve and all over HH. The pool and hot tub were well maintained and it was easy to oversee the kids either from the large glass windows overlooking the pool or from the screened-in porch while reading a book. A supply of cards, games and puzzles kept the kids entertained during the evening. The upstairs TV area provided a nice getaway for the grandparents to watch their nightly TV shows. The kitchen had an ample supply of cooking and dining supplies. The fridge was large enough to hold plenty of food for the week. We did an equal mix of eating out, getting carry out and cooking in the house.
We would recommend this house for future visits.
Roger was great to work with in renting this vacation home and answered all of my questions promptly. The house was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation with two separate bedroom wings and another bedroom on the main level which worked great for grandparents that aren't used to climbing so many steps. The three living spaces allowed the kids and adults plenty of space to do their own thing, but still come together at the dining table or main family room to play together. The hot tub worked great and the pool got a lot of use from our group.
This house is right off a beautifully paved beach access adjacent to the new Sea Pines beach club which is a great amenity to have next door. There was live acoustic music on the beach front deck of the beach club during our stay which we enjoyed very much, and the restrooms at the beach club were fantastic to have so close to the beach.
The location of the house was perfect as we rode bikes to South Beach to enjoy The Salty Dog and also rode bikes to the Baynard plantation ruins and to Harbortown.
Our family would definitely rent this house again!
Great location, very spacious, new, clean.
Pool, hot tub, screened porch.
Private tv's or watch all together in common area.
Kitchen fully loaded, plates, glasses, silverware and any appliance you can think of.
Bathroom for every bedroom with plenty of towels and wash clothes.
A tv/game room with bumper pool as a bonus.
We'd come back and will unless we buy something of our own.
We've been going to hh for over 30 years so we've stayed in a few places.
You won't be disappointed.
The listing for this home accurately reflects the home. It is well maintained, in an excellent location. Our extended family of 10 were very comfortable. The home is clean and well maintained. We would return to this home and would recommend it to others.
Sea Pines is the premier resort in Hilton Head with countless amenities and attractions. Our house is on a 50 yard walkway directly to the new Sea Pines Beach Club. THIS IS THE PREMIER OCEANFRONT FACILITY ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND. The Coast restaurant is a two level, inside/outside eatery with private fire pits adjoining many tables. The Beachfront wraparound bar is oceanfront with nightly seasonal entertainment. The upstairs elegant Ocean Lounge offers dramatic sunset and sunrise views. THE LOCATION MAKES THIS HOME A FANTASTIC VACATION RENTAL VALUE.
In addition our home is also about 100 yards from the new 12,000 Sq ft Sea Pines Plantation Golf Club with the Low Country inspired Live Oak Restaurant. There are also expansive locker rooms and pro shop for golfers at either the Ocean or Heron golf courses.

With his major league career at a dead end -- he had endured rotator cuff surgery and a 2007 season in which he was released by the Nationals and the Royals -- the barrel-chested former first-round draft pick packed his bags for Japan, and he had no idea when he was coming back. "When I got the opportunity to go over there," Lewis says of his offer from the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Japan's Central League, "I was looking at it to pretty much finish my career over there."For Colby Preston Lewis of Bakersfield, Calif., it has been a long, strange and rather remarkable journey to Game 6 of the ALCS. At Rangers Ballpark on Friday night, the 31-year-old right-hander will take the mound against Phil Hughes and the Yankees in what will be the biggest start of his career -- and, perhaps, the biggest start in Texas Rangers history. "If you told me that I'd be in this situation two years ago, when I was thinking [about] me finishing up my career in Japan," Lewis says, "I would have told you you'd be nuts."Yes, the Rangers have the star of the 2010 postseason, the ultimate October weapon, Cliff Lee, ready to go in Game 7, but they would very much like to shut the door on the defending champs rather than put their fate in a winner-take-all game where anything is possible. The burning questions entering Friday night's rumble in Arlington: Will the Yankees offense stay hot after finally awakening in Game 5? Just how bad is Nelson Cruz's hamstring injury? Who will take the next round in the Robinson Cano-Josh Hamilton Home Run Derby? Will Hughes, who left too many fastballs over the plate in Game 2 -- "Something's got to change, I've got to execute my pitches better," he said on Thursday -- redeem himself?And then there's this: Can Texas' Japanese import, the most unlikely starter of this postseason, repeat his impressive Game 2 start, in which he allowed two runs and struck out six Yankees over 5 2/3 innings? "The key, I think, to trying to beat the Yankees is keeping them in the ballpark," says Rangers manager Ron Washington, whose pitchers allowed three home runs over the first four games -- but three more in Game 5 alone. "If you don't keep them in the ballpark, you've got no chance. That's the key for Colby, to continue to just maintain his command, get his spots and keep the ball down. We have all the confidence in the world that he can do that."Confidence isn't a problem for Lewis, who has been cool under October's hot lights. Before he shut down the Yankees last weekend, Lewis threw five shutout innings against the Rays in Game 3 of the ALDS. "Everybody talks about postseason pressure and nervousness," he says. "But I kind of look at nervousness as taking my family to Japan. That's nervous -- going to a foreign country, not knowing what to expect."That Lewis ended up back in Texas -- which drafted him 38th overall in 1999 -- is "a testament to our scouts," says GM Jon Daniels. "They did a great job. After hearing their reports, we were pretty aggressive in getting Colby. He's night-and-day different from before he left. He was a thrower before." Daniels added, "From a makeup standpoint, I just have tremendous respect for a man who believes in himself so much that he's willing to take his family out there and reinvent himself. That's pretty impressive."Recalls Hall of Famer and Rangers part-owner Nolan Ryan, "I knew Colby when he was a young prospect here, and I saw him in the minor leagues. And I saw the dominant stuff he had and the great breaking ball. He was an exciting young prospect. Then I saw the video on him [in Japan], and I saw his breaking ball and the way he commanded the strike zone. I saw his mound presence. One of the biggest things to me was his confidence: he knew how to pitch, how to set up hitters. You take a player that's willing to go to Japan without knowing the culture or the language, and you be successful like he was -- well, as an organization, you don't worry about maturity with a player like that. That's commitment. And I just thought, 'Well, we need a guy like that.'"When he left for Japan, Lewis was a fastball-throwing gunslinger. When he came back, he didn't have the blazing fastball anymore, but he was finally a pitcher. This season he was fifth among AL starters with an 8.78 strikeout rate and 11th in strikeout-to-walk ratio. He threw his fastball, which tops out in the low 90s, more than 50 percent of the time but now has a slider that, according to Fangraphs, was one of the game's most effective this season. In his start last weekend against the Yankees he relied more on his curveball after watching C.J. Wilson use the pitch with so much success in Game 1. The Yankees, of course, adjusted to Wilson in Game 5. Who will make the right adjustments in Game 6?The Rangers are a confident team. On Thursday afternoon at their team workout, the starting pitchers took BP as if it's a certainty that they'll be facing either the Giants or Phillies on the road next week. They're confident because they know they have Lee in Game 7. But they're confident because they know this, too: You shouldn't bet against Colby Lewis.

Product Description
Victorinox Swiss Army Cutlery
Who is Victorinox?
Although Victorinox is known the world over as the creator of the Original Swiss Army Knife, the company started out in 1884 as a cutlery workshop. By the time company creator Karl Elsener delivered his first pocket knife to the Swiss Army, his cutlery business was already booming. Over the next century, Victorinox cutlery became a top-rated choice among professionals worldwide, with over 300 blades to offer.
Victorinox knives have regularly appeared as highly ranked and recommended kitchen tools in Cook's Illustrated, Men's Health, The Cincinnati Enquirer, New York Magazine, and Natural Health, just to name a few. In 2009, the company announced a partnership with professional chef, Daniel Humm, of Eleven Madison Park in New York City. In addition, building on the success of its cutlery business, Victorinox has brought all the same quality and expertise to a wider range of products and accessories, including other kitchen tools, pocket tools, watches, luggage, and clothing.
Who is R.H. Forschner?
Victorinox had been a staple in European commercial cutlery for over 50 years when approached by New York's R.H. Forschner, known since 1855 as a builder of scales for butchers, to be their sole cutlery supplier. The two companies joined forces in 1937, and R.H. Forschner subsequently became North America's dominant professional brand, as ubiquitous in the bustling meatpacking plants of the Midwest as it is in the gleaming, four-star restaurant kitchens of Midtown Manhattan.
As a division of Victorinox/Swiss Army Brands, R.H. Forschner marketed cutlery under the brand name "RH Forschner by Victorinox" and distributed to the commercial, food service, and retail trade classes. That brand has been considered a top choice of professionals worldwide with over 300 styles of blades bearing the R.H. Forschner name. However, in 2009, in conjunction with Victorinox's 125th anniversary, the company, Victorinox Swiss Army, Inc., has decided to remove the "RH Forschner" name from all blades. Blades thenceforth only include the "Victorinox" name.
What is a stamped blade?
A stamped knife can usually be identified by the absence of a bolster. Stamped blades are cut into their shapes from cold-rolled pieces of steel and then ground, tempered, and sharpened. Creating them requires many less steps than forging and results in lighter, narrower blades. Some professionals prefer the thicker, heavier forged blades, but many pros, who spend much of their day cutting and slicing, enjoy a lighter knife since it's less fatiguing and easier to manipulate at speed.
Stamped knives are easier to produce and therefore less expensive. They perform very well and can approach the quality of a forged blade, but not the weight or feel. Victorinox manufactures a complete range of stamped blades with unique, patented Fibrox handles and they are considered among the greatest values in the knife industry.
What knives do I need to own?
Knife choice or selection is determined by many factors--size, function, style, and preference. The most important factor is function. Different knives have different uses. It is important to use the proper knife for a specific task, since proper knife selection and the use of a proper-sized, sharp knife make for safe cutting. General kitchen tasks and the knife to use for them are as follows:
- Paring: The most common to own and use, a paring knife is generally for small cutting jobs and peeling of vegetables or fruit. The blade size is usually from three to four inches. Choose the shape and size to fit your hand. Since this is one of the more versatile knives, owning more than one is recommended.
- Chef's: The most important tool and essential to every cook, a chef's knife is most often used in a rocking method to mince, dice, and chop vegetables and herbs. This one is known as the chef's best friend.
- Slicer: Most commonly used to slice meats, poultry, and seafood, the slicer is an important companion to any host or hostess.
- Boning: As its name suggests, a boning knife is used to trim or remove meat and fish from the bone.
- Bread: Designed with a special edge, a bread knife makes easy work of cutting through crusty bread, pastries, or any item with a crust and a soft interior.
- Fillet: Most often used by pros and seasoned home chefs, the fillet knife is used to fillet meat and fish.
- Cleaver: An important addition to any collection, a cleaver is often used to cut or chop through bones.
- Santoku: This knife combines the features of a cleaver with a chef's knife. The curved blade helps the rocking motion used for chopping, and the wide blade works well for scooping sliced food off a cutting board and for crushing garlic. The santoku can also be used to slice meat and has a narrow spine for making thin cuts.
- Utility: An all-purpose knife often referred to as a sandwich knife, the utility knife peels and slices fruits and vegetables, and even carves small meats.
- Shaping: With its curved blade, a shaping knife is great for small precision cuts where control is essential, such as peeling, trimming, or garnishing.
What are the different knife edges and what do they do?
- Straight: The vast majority of Victorinox knives come with a straight or fine edge. This means it has a perfect taper along the blade and no serrations. It is designed to cut without tearing or shredding.
- Serrated: An edge designed with small, jagged teeth along the edge.
- Scalloped: A blade with waves along the edge generally used to cut breads with a hard crust and soft interior, as well as tougher-skinned fruits and vegetables.
- Granton: This edge has hollowed-out grooves or dimples on the sides of the blade. These grooves fill with the fat and juices of the product being cut, allowing for thin, even cuts without tearing. Even with the grooves, these are still straight-edge knives and can be honed with a sharpening steel.
How should I care for my cutlery?
After use, knives should not be allowed to soak in water. The best practice is to hand wash and dry them immediately. This is especially true if they have been used on fruit or salty foods, which may cause some staining, even on stainless steel. Most knives require very little maintenance and it is worth the effort to protect your investment.
Though Victorinox knives are dishwasher safe, this is strongly discouraged. The dishwasher's agitation may cause damage. Additionally, harsh detergents can be harmful and cause pitting and spotting on the blades. The handles may also discolor and develop a white film with constant use of the dishwasher. Plus, intense heat associated with dishwashers is not good for the temper of the blade.
How do I keep my knives sharp?
All quality knives require proper maintenance to keep them in perfect cutting shape. The best of edges will quickly dull if it strikes metal, glass, or Formica. A wooden cutting board makes the best cutting surface. And, if a slip occurs, a proper cutting board is safer for the user. Frequent use of a Victorinox sharpening steel will keep blades in tip top working condition. All straight-edge knives need steeling to keep their edges.
How to "Steel" a Knife
- Hold the steel firmly in your left hand with the guard positioned to stop the blade should it slip.
- Hold the knife in your right hand and place on top part of steel as shown.
- Raise back of blade one-eighth inch.
- Now, moving the blade only, draw it across the steel in an arching curve, pivoted at your wrist. The blade tip should leave the steel about two-thirds of the way down.
- Repeat the same action with the Blade on the bottom side of the steel. Always maintain the same pressure and angle on both sides of the steel.
- Repeat five or six times.
How should I store my knives?
Safety is the biggest concern of storage, both to the user and to protect the knife's edge. Choices include a knife magnet, knife block, drawer insets, and also individual knife protectors.

This is a 4-inch "rabbit" utility/paring knife. It's a little big for a paring knife, and the blade is shaped a little funny, but it does that job pretty good. I used it to pare and chop small fruits, peel, cut vegetables, and trim meats. This is a very high-quality knife. Don't let the price fool you one bit. Forschner is made by Victorinox, who know a thing or two about cutlery. I own other Forschner knives and they are very well-made. I own a 4-inch Henckels Professional S parer, and it cost twice as much as this one. The handle on the Henckels has cracked and the blade doesn't stay sharp very long. This knife came from the factory shaving-sharp! One of the sharpest factory knives I've owned so far.
It's not very pretty sitting in my block, but I favor utility and performance over looks in a knife anyways. The Fibrox handle is amazing. It's very grippy even when my hands were wet or slippery, fits the hand well, and looks to be just about indestructable. It also cleans very easily.
The steel is great. I used it (don't recommend this) to cut up about 40 lbs. of card board boxes and it stayed sharp! Card board is a very tough medium to cut and is hard on blades, but this knife held it's edge very well! Plus, it was very easy to sharpen, something you can't say of other knives with good edge-holding ability.
This is bigger than a paring knife with a paring knife-like shape. I don't know why it's called a Rabbit knife. Is it because it quick-as-a-rabbit does your cutting tasks, or is it used to skin and dress rabbits?
I'll let those of you who are vegetarians contemplate the "hare-y" horror of that possibility.
This knife can do much of a paring knife's chores and many heavier-duty jobs that a parer just can't do.
It's substantial enough that I use it to break down a whole chicken into 8 pieces and even de-bone the breasts.
It's small enough to cut the stem out of tomato and thinly slice it. The blade is only 4-inches so large tomatoes will be more of a challenge to slice evenly.
The Fibrox handle stays firmly in your hand even when wet or greasy (remember the chicken cutting). I like the handles but they are sort of ugly so you have to be the type who appreciates function over form.
I noticed in my knife storage places an assortment of some very nice knives in term of looks and another batch of knives that we use for actually cutting things like meat or veggies. The nice knives are mostly for show and have far less utility; however, the Victorinox knives are mostly user friendly work horses. When we find that single maker of nice looking work horses, we will opt for that option with vigor.

Just say NO!,
In this writers humble opinion, and that of nationally recognized and syndicated consumer advocate Clarke Howard-- as well as Consumers Report-- this is a bad deal for you and totally unnecessary. First of all, IT IS NOT a complete 2 year extended warranty. Read the text carefully. They clearly say in print that it is only in effect AFTER your normal 1 year warranty that comes with the product. So, it is actually only a 1 year extended warranty for a mfg. defective product for $49 dollars. NOT a good deal on a quality product.
Now, with that said, if you are a person who breaks everything you lay your hands on and are prone to dropping things out of your hands ( you admit you are a clumsy person!) then this might be a good thing for you. For most of us however, this is too expensive to make it a good deal. If they offered it at $19.95, it might be something to consider. Maybe.
Consumer advocates say to carefully limit your extended warranty purchases to big-ticket items.
When one buys a quality product (like my Kindle--love it!)you will rarely need to even glance at these profit-making offers. Spend your money elsewhere.

They really should make this in the $19.99-$29.99 range so more people might choose to buy it. Especially after making such a sizable investment in the Kindle itself.

BeSmart hit it all right on the nail head. I wouldn't even pay 19.95 for it. It's so falsly advertised, saying two years when it's indeed only one year. If they are going to sell it as a 2 year extended warrenty then it should be for 2 years PLUS the one year factory warranty. Good writeup BeSmart. :)

Michael K. O'connor says:
If the EXTENDED warranty is only active AFTER the 1st year normal warranty then it would be a total of 3 Years, Just sayin.
You are right though, it is only 2 years total from date of purchase, so it is NOT 3 years.
I'm Just clarifying that it is a total of 2 years as you say, but not as you say
"They clearly say in print that it is only in effect AFTER your normal 1 year warranty that comes with the product"
It goes into effect immediatly and is inclusive of the original manuf warranty term, which is what you MEANT to say.
Therefore you are paying 40 bucks for an additional year which seems excessive to me.
If I fail to pay 40 bucks for three consumer electronic products in this price range I have saved enough to replace one of them and the failure rate is much less than one in three, so unless they lowered the price, it is not worth the charge.

You may have read every book in the market, attended more seminars than you can count, and even have firsthand experience yourself. But parenting, and especially mothering, is still no easy task.
Thank goodness for Hollywood. Over the years, film has invented, discovered, and recorded the sacrifice, heartache, and joy mothers go through in almost any family situation. You want to learn by example? Better bust out those tissues, because you're about to be assaulted with an abundance of motherly love—and learning. (Warning: spoilers ahead!)

Loved using this service at our recent stay at a Disney Resort. I placed my order, received a courtesy phone call to confirm order. The day the order was to be delivered I received a text and a phone call to let me know that the order had been delivered. Everything was packed great. Will use this service again.
Very Pleased with the service and will do it again. Way to stock the mini-bar on a hectic Disney Trip.
From the ease of ordering, the choices available, the notifications, and all the way through to delivery - everything was done flawlessly!
