SPORTS BRIEFING: TENNIS; New Deal for CBS and U.S. Open
By Richard Sandomir
Published: November 10, 2003
CBS Sports yesterday extended its contract to carry the United States Open through 2008 and agreed to carry at least four summer events leading into the tournament. Although the agreement runs through 2008, the U.S.T.A. can opt out of it after 2006.
The deal is worth $153.7 million in cash to the United States Tennis Association, including $33.7 million in 2004 and $30 million in each of the next four years. From 2001 to 2003, CBS paid the tennis association about $33 million annually.
Although the rights fees will decrease, the U.S.T.A. will receive noncash items to help jump-start the broadcasts of the tournaments it is calling the United States Open Series: airtime worth about $15 million to carry the tournaments; commercial television time that the tennis association can sell, valued at up to $5 million; and time worth up to $1.5 million on CBS's United States Open broadcasts to promote the series.

Landmark has grown into seven regional referral centers with the latest opening in Southwest Florida in October 2015. Under his leadership, Landmark and its sister company, Technomad, LLC have developed new information technologies that allow clinicians to easily document patient encounters and then follow and manage the patient upon discharge from the LTACH across all post- acute settings allowing for better outcomes and a seamless continuum of care.
Dr. Kapp served as managing partner and leader for Physicians Alliance Surgery Center in Cape Girardeau and was instrumental in its design, development, and certification. He served as its Founding President and Medical Director from 2000 – 2003 and on its Medical Board from 2000-2011.

Revenue grew over 300% under his leadership.
Dr. Kapp is a founding advisory board member of Missouri Physicians Mutual. MPM was founded in the late 1990's as a Missouri based 383 company to provide affordable medical malpractice insurance to a troubled market. MPM was able to grow from 10 physicians at its inception to well over 2000 becoming the largest insurer in the state for physician medical malpractice insurance.

The Haredi Spring is coming to an end — and not a moment too soon. In the recent election in Israel, the majority rose up and called a halt to the process of haredi, or ultra-Orthodox, Jews playing a dominant role in the government coalition while resisting national service. Requirements for army service and incentives to work instead of living on welfare are now being discussed in the Knesset. The haredim have reacted by insisting that their way of life and privileges were sacrosanct and could not be reined in by the democratic process. In truth, they have never seemed comfortable with real democracy.
Ever since the Jewish people, led by a Zionist avant-garde, took power and responsibility for Jewish fate, it was the secular and national-religious together who built the State of Israel. This was done without much haredi help and in the face of significant opposition from them. The non-haredi majority, with their blood, sweat and tears, built a remarkable economy, recreated Hebrew/Jewish culture, and fought off would-be destroyers. In 1967, they even liberated the Old City and the Kotel. Their children — giving years of their lives in army service and their very lives in battle — paid the staggering price of this accomplishment. Part of this miracle was that Israel was created as a democracy — the most humane and humanly respectful form of political system in the world. The Zionist consensus decreed that Israel would be a Jewish and democratic state — although this system was new to Judaism (hence, new for the Orthodox) and far from prevalent in most of the countries that the pioneers came from.
After 1948, the haredim woke up and joined in the democratic process and were greatly rewarded. The Israeli majority, feeling nostalgia and some guilt for the world lost in the Shoah, and feeling gratitude and obligation that the stubbornly religious had kept Judaism alive during 2,000 years of powerlessness, supported the then-small haredi communities — financially and culturally— on a vast scale. This included an unprecedented government-financed Torah support/social welfare system that underwrote two-thirds of the haredi men while they studied in yeshiva instead of going to work. The law exempted them from military service as well. In the last several decades the haredim took over the national rabbinate and imposed their values in the religious establishment — to the detriment of women's rights and to the exclusion of would-be converts.
Unfortunately, during this period, the haredim did not learn democratic values or prepare to live in a democratic system. On the contrary, they developed an ideology that policy was to be dictated by Torah scholars who were not accountable to public opinion. They preached that the laws of God (defined by their scholars only) should decide the general law — and even should override national law when there was a clash between them. Nor did they internalize that democracy gives full rights to others (minorities, women, foreigners) and that they must honor those rights where they differ from them. Nor did they grasp that ultimately democracy required full respect for others. This entails not only respect for their person but for their right to live differently (in religious matters as in secular). Democracy is predicated on fair sharing of national burdens (such as army service and taxes). Instead the haredim developed a tribal morality that justified taking but did not generate an equal giving back. Taking over the Kotel and turning it into a haredi synagogue to the exclusion of others — highlighted by the recent controversy over Women of the Wall prayer services — was part of this syndrome. At that point, the levers of democracy were being pulled for an undemocratic result.
The ultra-Orthodox surge also weakened the Modern Orthodox affinity to democracy. As the Modern Orthodox came under haredi influence, a yeshivish/ultra Orthodox tendency took over many schools and began to inculcate new values. The ideology of rabbinic hegemony in policy determination spread. The claim of supremacy of halacha (usually interpreted in sectarian fashion) over the law of the land grew strong. The doctrine of the holiness of the land of Israel came to dominate the national-religious party, which became more extreme in its policies. Once the indispensable moderate component of every national coalition, the National Religious party became sectarian, extremist and an outlier. Some rabbis called for discrimination against Arabs in housing — in direct violation of Israeli law. Others called on religious soldiers to disobey orders from IDF — the army of a democratic government — if they were told to evacuate settlers or settlements. The grounds for this ruling was that God required that Israel keep possession of every inch of the holy land of Israel. The worst expression of this tendency was the demonization of Prime Minister Rabin for working for a peace treaty based on territorial compromise. He was assassinated by a radical but many recognized that rabbinic ideological extremism had created a supportive environment for such a terroristic act.
These trends grew in America, too. In recent years traditional law prohibiting cooperation with oppressive governments was invoked by ultra Orthodox groups to forbid reporting sexual abusers to the civil authorities (as required by American law). Modern Orthodoxy followed the haredim in denying the legitimacy of non-Orthodox movements. Even at Yeshiva University, a highly respected rosh yeshiva and decisor, Rav Hershel Schachter (seen as continuing Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveichik's halachic teaching in the rabbinical seminary), said publicly that the prime minister of Israel should be assassinated if he dared to give up some section of Jerusalem for the sake of a peace treaty. (He later apologized for the comment.) Recently, Rabbi Schachter was recorded warning against reporting sexual abusers to the authorities (lest they be imprisoned and exposed to harm from anti-Semites).
In both segments of Orthodoxy, democratic norms were increasingly jeopardized. Universal rights were taking second place to tribal versions of halacha.
It is in the context of imposing democratic norms on the haredim that the Women of the Wall issue exploded.
After two decades of passivity and neglect regarding the group's efforts for equality in prayer, diaspora Jews (or at least its non-Orthodox majority) spoke up and challenged the exclusion of the Women — and, by implication, of all non-Orthodox services — from the Kotel. They argued that this was a violation of their rights under democratic pluralism norms. To his great credit, Prime Minister Netanyahu did what no other prime minister before him had done. He decided to make room at the Kotel for all groups to pray. He wisely chose Natan Sharansky — a Jewish hero who embraces both Israel and diaspora and a strong advocate of democracy — to come up with a plan that recognized the religious rights of non-Orthodox Jews, one that all could live with. Netanyahu took this step although there will be a political cost for him among the haredi voters who have long supported him. (One hopes that liberal groups in America, who dismiss Netanyahu as a right-wing extremist, will recognize the significance of this action — and seek a more nuanced understanding of all his policies.)
The Women of the Wall fittingly sing "Hatikvah," with its longing "to be a free people in our land," at the end of their Rosh Chodesh service. That dream includes full religious freedom. And starting from the Women of the Wall controversy, the Modern Orthodox community hopefully can regain its classic commitment to democracy and religious moderation. It must renew its covenant with Clal Yisrael, which had been pushed aside as its policies veered toward haredi standards. If all groups cooperate, the government will be enabled to support all forms of Jewish religion. This includes allowing alternative rabbinic courts (both Orthodox and non-Orthodox) that will treat women more equitably — in accordance with their right to equal justice.
A decade from now, the haredi violence at the Wall will be recognized as an act of desperation — of clinging to special privilege when the democratic system had decided that it must come to an end for the sake of fairness to all. One hopes that new circumstances may impel the haredim to incorporate democracy into their understanding of Torah. This would include developing a commitment to the whole society and acknowledging an obligation to reciprocal fairness and to free expression of religion — i.e. upholding a democratic culture in which they can compete and contribute.
Such a turn would remove the resentments that cloud the public's view of haredim. It would allow the great strengths of their community — devotion, family values, chesed (acts of loving-kindness) and mutual help, respect for Torah learning — to be recognized, once they are no longer diminished by self-centeredness and exploitation of others. The Modern Orthodox, too, need to complete the process of integrating Torah and democracy started under Zionism. This evolution was incomplete and was interrupted when the State of Israel was established.
Such a shift will demand an enormous spiritual and intellectual effort and a lot of growth and self-criticism. But the reward would be a truly Jewish and democratic Israel. When that day comes, even haredim will honor the Women of the Wall for their decades of steadfast piety, devotion to the Kotel's holiness and persistence in the face of mistreatment. Then Israel's status as a democracy (unique in that part of the world) will shine forth for all to see.

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
One cannot continue evading taking a stance, especially when it comes to public issues, and Israel and its future is a public issue, certainly for all Jews. Rabbi Greenberg has taken a stance, and make no mistake, it is a stance taken from within the Torah world by one who loves Torah. Nostalgia just doesn't cut it anymore. The questions involved are too urgent, too serious. Do you side with hierarchical, authoritarian structures, with parochialism and particularlism? Or do you side with a larger Jewish vision? As Yair Lapid has pointed out, no one seriously advances Secular Zionism anymore. Rabbi Greenberg has taken a clear, unapologetic, legitimate, reasoned stance. He is a light in dark times. He cares about the future of Israel, the future of Judaism.
Rabbi Greenberg,
I wonder, who is the audience for this opinion piece? Is it the Haredim? Is it the modern Orthodox? Or is it the non-Othodox who already agree with your sentiments? If it is the latter, for what reason do you want them know that you feel this way? If it is the former, certainly you know that there are better forums in which to address these communities; why would you want to give mussar to them in public, so to speak?
I understand the optimism surrounding R. Greenberg's column.
For a more sober approach, you can see the conversation I had with my father in law Rabbi Leonard Oberstein -- who lives and works in the Yeshiva World -- about the future of the Haredi world.
I am saddened to see a respected thinker like Rabbi Greenberg lump together disparate and untrue claims to blacken the face of the haredi community. The haredi community on the whole, starting with its rabbinic leadership, has come a very long way in airing the issue of sexual abuse and introducing new norms including when it comes to reporting. Rabbi Greenberg is clear that his position of favoring democracy and unbridled individual expression over eternal ethical values is an absolutely minority in the religious world (both MO and charedi). Yet instead of showing respect for his colleagues' position and reexamining his own, he chooses the combative path. Very unfortunate.
Respected by who?? Just a bitter old man who was long ago rejected by orthodoxy - because his beliefs are not orthodox (he was run out of a shul in Riverdale....enough said)...but in these pages, he and his wife are supposed to be the pulse and bellwhether of true modern orthodoxy
I agree with what you've written here about haredi history and their stance, but I can't help painfully noticing an underlying dislike or emotional opposition here... I just wish you were writing this from more neutral perspective and it wasn't infused with such strong dislike.
I find this article confusing and damagiing. Jewish history begims well before 1948 and the Torah, the elemnt that binds and perpetuates the Jews is not mentioned or treated with the respect it deserved. As Jews, we are many parts of a whole. The Chareidim have been, for a large part, the spiritual protectos of our destiny. G-d protects them and that is how they are thriving worldwide. The Jewish people are ill right now as they turn on each other at every opportunity. To me this article perpetuates the negative stereotypes that are destroying us from within. Just like a family will implode if the contributions of each part are not respected. If we do not protect and nurture our spiiritual and physical parts we are destroying ourselves from within.
Rabbi Greenberg, while you write an interesting article I can't help but be troubled by your underlying sentiment- that democracy is more important than halacha. I too disagree with many of the halachic positions of the Charedim, but how can you claim to be frum if you don't concede the superiority of halacha?
What a horrible article shame on you to speak bad about our brothers and sisters especially during thr three weeks dont we have enough enemies to do that??????
Thank you for this perspective on a very difficult situation. Calm discussion of where we are, and why we are here is critical to enabling discussion both within and outside of the Jewish community. Identifying evil (e.g., protecting of child predators) while recognizing the positive attributes within the Haredi community that get clouded by current politics within that community can facilitate that discussion and a greater understanding.
The history that is cited has nothing to do with freedom of religion,the right to adhere to the tenets of torah judaism. Ive reached the point where I feel I can only help clarify the muddle by using these kinds of examples.If the protestants entered a catholic church and tried to force the catholics to modify their religious practices no one in his or her right mind would consider that a defense of democracy or freedom of religion.If he jews for jesus demanded that a shull adopt their practices no one would make those kinds of mistakes either.Somehow, when it comes to torah judaism, there is suddenly a total disregard of those kinds of principles.The "progressives" suddenly become heroes of democracy.Reform and conservative are NOT branches of traditional ,torah judaism; they played NO role in the Temple; and they have no legitimate right to dictate how the customs and traditions that relate to the remnants of the temple are to be practiced.
Let them build a wall somewhere else and practice their customs as they see fit!
The arguement in this letter is specious. To start with, I am a Jew, born to Jewish parents and practicing Judaism in many different environments. I am welcome and have participated in Haredi services at the wall, I have attended Orthodox shuls when I visit my family (my daughter married a man who is "modern Orthodox", I grew up in the Reform movement and am presently an active member of a (right-leaning) Conservative synagogue. Thus I am a Jew and have been welcome and allowed to practice Judaism in many forms without restriction. The Temple is part of my heritage and not just yours. I do not ask you to change the way you worship and as long as I remain within the recognized boundries of the Jewish world, you cannot ask me to change to make you feel comfortable. Your rights stop where mine begin. Beyond that I have no obligation to fund your particularlistic form of Judaism. We all have rights as Jews.
Excellent historical recap of the phenomena around religion and state in Israel and Women of the Wall in particular . I think that the Haredi takeover of Israeli religious values does not only stem from a one time mistake in 1948, but in a continued attitude by secular Israelis that Orthodoxy is the real Judaism and that Ultra Orthodoxy however extreme, must always be 'respected'. Women of the Wall and their supporters all over the world are chipping away at that attitude. Only time will tell if Israel's religious culture will change or if it was set in stone by its founders.
Rachel, I am not sure that I agree with you that secular Israelis think that Ultra Orthodoxy must be respected. In the last election, the biggest political loser (by far) were the Ultra Orthodox parties. They lost at least a dozens seats in the Knesset. Israelis simply got tired of all the corruption of the Ultra orthodox rabbis, the avoidance of the draft, the constant intrusion in their lives by people who literally do not pay their social dues. The saddest / worst thing that ultra Orthodox have done is that they have turned J'lem into a city that secular Israelis shun. to say that secular Israelis have a soft spot for religion is 100% true; to say that they respect the Ultra Orthodox is not. That said, thank you for writing a comment that is reasonable and civil, unlike many of the other writers. We, Jews, are so few in number that it is sad that we always fight often with vitriol with each other. Especially sad during the Three Weeks.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Our Game
by Paul on 06/14/07 at 02:26 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Adam Proteau of the Hockey News,
"Sorry, Canada!" Samueli told the assembled throng at Anaheim's Stanley Cup celebration. "Welcome to the new Hockeytown: Anaheim, California!"
However, in the larger context of what always happens in the NHL playoffs, Samueli's soft, playful jab represented another instance of the misdirected nationalism that never fails to inject itself into hockey circles.
Frankly, I'm as sick and tired of that kind of nonsense as I am of the ceaseless debate about officiating. I certainly don't blame Samueli for getting swept up in the emotion of a championship party, but it's high time hockey people got over their fixation about citizenship and its relation to the game.

Incentives and earnings growth
The career prospects of newly recruited employees differ substantially within an organization. The stars experience considerable growth in earnings; others can hardly maintain their entry salaries. This article sheds light on the mechanisms generating the observed heterogeneity in earnings growth by investigating the effects that explicit short-run incentives and implicit incentives have on earnings growth. The model's predictions are tested using personnel records from a large bank and are found to be consistent with the observed earnings growth during the first half of the employees' careers.

Appreciation for the flower you placed on Sheralynn's memorial. You understand the loss of a child. I placed a flower on your son's memorial. My adult son has Asperger's, too, without some of the struggles your son had. My sister battles anxiety and OCD with her Asperger's as well.

Travel Wisdom: Being Polite Has Its Rewards
Tips for a Bon Voyage
Paul Haswellis a Hong Kong-based technology and telecommunications lawyer at Pinsent Masons LLP who moonlights as a hip-hop DJ at Hong Kong's RTHK radio.
The U.K. native spoke to the Journal about racking up a million air miles, traveling as a vegetarian and the wisdom of being polite while on the road.
How often do you travel?
It comes in spurts. I don't travel for two months, or I travel every single week.
Where do you go most?
[In 2007, I] started commuting from Norway every single week. I was living in an airport, or a plane, or a hotel for three years. Nowadays, I'm focusing more on Asia—spending most of my time going to places like Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing and occasionally back to the U.K.
Preferred airline?
I tend to fly Oneworld…completely for air miles.
How did you get started on the frequent-flier program?
When I started to do the Norway trip, I was always flying with [ British Airways] and started accumulating air miles. I realized about six months in that the miles were really adding up, and I was getting status.
How do you collect air miles?
It became an obsession. I always book my flight to maximize the number of air miles. I discovered if I stay in a certain hotel, I'll get miles, and even when I'm going out for dinner—if I just eat in a hotel, I'll get miles for doing that. If I buy clothes in certain shops at the airport, I'll get miles. I get credit cards that also give me miles. Literally everything I was doing was focused on maximizing the miles.
Do you have an example?
I lived in the same hotel for three years. I'm vegetarian, and the hotel where I was staying had only one meal option for vegetarians, but it was the only way I could get miles, so I had that for dinner almost every night for three years. I lost a lot of weight, but I did get over a million miles.
How do you use your air miles?
Just for holidays.
Favorite airport?
Hong Kong. I can land at the Hong Kong airport and be home or at the office within 30 to 40 minutes. Hong Kong puts the least number of barriers in the way.
Worst travel experience?
A few days before Christmas [in 2010], I had to fly from Oslo to Hong Kong via Heathrow. In Norway, they had about six feet of snow, plus two millimeters of snow in Heathrow, so my first flight from Oslo to Heathrow was canceled. Normally you don't mind if the flight is canceled because there's always a next one. The worst case is you stay in a hotel and you get out the next day—I ended up spending five days in the Oslo airport.
Best travel experience?
I had a trip with fellow colleagues, and we were supposed to fly economy. Everyone was very unhappy about this. But I got upgraded to business—but business was also full—[and then upgraded] into first class because I had so many air miles. I also believe that was the flight where Brad Pitt was on the same plane. I didn't say anything to him though because I was too nervous.
How do you stay in shape while traveling?
I don't like to go to the hotel gym. If you have some spare time, just go walking—walk around the city and see as much as you can.
Any tips on traveling as a vegetarian?
It can be really difficult. There's a website called Happy Cow that I check to see which restaurants are good when I go to a city, but some aren't very good for business travelers—not good places to take clients.
What's left on the bucket list?
I like all types of music, but one of my favorite musicians of all time is Louis Armstrong, the jazz musician, so I've always wanted to go to New Orleans. I also would like to spend more time in Japan just because it's an interesting place and quite difficult for a Westerner to get around.
Favorite travel app?
The translation ones—iTranslate—there are a few of them and they're all different. I tend to use them to try to figure out what menus are. Also, it's very difficult to explain to people you are vegetarian, so I use them a lot for that.
What's your travel advice?
My No. 1 tip for traveling is—wherever you go in the world and no matter what goes wrong on the trip—always be polite. I've found the best thing to do is just be nice to people.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Plus Diagnostics is to co-market MDxHealth's ConfirmMDx™ prostate cancer test in the U.S. Plus is a U.S. anatomic pathology lab offering a range of multispecialty services. It will co-promote the assay through its national network of urologists.
"The national reach afforded by Plus Diagnostics provides a direct channel into the urology community and will aid in meeting the growing demand for our test," comments Jan Groen, MDxHealth CEO. ConfirmMDx will be carried out at the firm's laboratory at Irvine, CA, which achieved CLIA certification by the Centers for Medicare and Medicade in January.
ConfirmMDx for prostate cancer is a laboratory-developed epigenetic test designed to help identify cancer in men who have undergone a biopsy procedure and are shown to have an elevated PSA level, abnormal DRE, or BPH. The assay effectively represents a tool for assessing the presence or absence of cancer cells in biopsy tissue and identifies which patients won't need to undergo unnecessary repeat biopsies or excessive screening procedures.
The firm says the test can detect a validated epigenetic field effect associated with the cancerization process at the DNA level in cells adjacent to cancer foci. This molecular halo around the cancer lesion may not necessarily be detectable under the microscope.

IRVINGTON, N.J. (November 23, 2013) Using eminent domain to fight foreclosures is gaining traction nationwide.
Irvington, N.J., last week became the second city to say it's going to use the tactic.
Richmond, Calif., was the first.
Cities including Chicago; Brockton, Mass.; and Yonkers, N.Y. have floated the idea, saying it's a way to help underwater homeowners and diminish blight.
But it's controversial.
Banks, Wall Street and some in Washington are against it.
SIFMA is a group that represents banks and asset managers.
Its managing director Tim Cameron says investors who put money in mortgage-backed securities would be penalized by the proposal.
Eminent domain would only apply to private mortgages not backed by the U.S. government.

Useful if not Speedy
The device was packaged as promised and was very easy to install. Performance matched the information provided by the vendor - it should not be used for video intensive applications. I work at home at least one day a week and it works fine for standard office applications. The manufacturer specifications are accurate and the device has been reliable. While a second video adapter would be preferable, my company laptop does not support it. This gave me the ability to use dual monitors and a KVM to switch between my home system and my company laptop. I am very satisfied.

Back when the Lordstown plant of General Motors Corp. was being built nearly 40 years ago, few would have imagined that the company's woods would become breeding grounds for hundreds of great blue herons. They have.
The birds have been calling the area around the plant home for decades now. By 1976, the first year a count was taken, there were 253 nests. This year, there are 375 nests, making it the third largest heronry in the state.
The 40 acres of protected land on which the herons, as well as other wildlife, thrive prove that it is possible for nature and industry to coexist.
General Motors at Lordstown, a good corporate neighbor in the Mahoning Valley since the first car rolled off the assembly line in 1966, has shown itself to be a good neighbor in many ways, even some that are unexpected and under-appreciated.

Cupid's Mini Bullet Vibrator
Only: $11.99
So powerful!
Reviewed: July 9, 2016 by Krales
I bought this as my first ever vibrator, and from the size of it I definitely wasn't expecting it to be so powerful! The vibrations are so strong, totally unexpected from such a cute little toy!
I highly recommend this to others looking for a good first toy, it's excellent. The vibe is so compact, it fits easily into one hand and it's got such a nice feel to it, the material is so smooth.
The little drawstring is also super handy! There's no worry about it getting lost inside you with that!
- Pros
- The powerful vibrations and compact size.
- Cons
- A little noisy, but easily muffled.
- Bottom line
- Excellent toy, very powerful, highly recommended for beginners.

Great buzz
Reviewed: June 27, 2016 by Purple147
Bought this little gem a while back and for such a small thing it's got plenty of power.
Being in a long-distance relationship, my partner is rarely around when I get horny, and this bullet works great for clitoral stimulation as well as internal stimulation and has given me many orgasms.
I've only used it for solo play so far, but I can see it being incorporated in sex with my BF in the future.
It is a little bit noisy, so not for use when my housemate is around, but other than that it's a fantastic little toy.
- Pros
- Power, small but mighty.
- Cons
- A little on the noisy side.
- Bottom line
- Great! It definitely does the trick.

My Favorite Toy !
Reviewed: June 9, 2016 by WellThat'sRude, a Straight Going Steady Male
This bullet is easy to underestimate, and hard to ignore once you try it for yourself! For how big it is, the power of it is shockingly brilliant; and is the first thing I'd go for, for either clitoral or vaginal stimulus.
The first thing you'll notice is how incredibly soft to the touch it is. It feels so extremely velvety. Even after owning it for over four months it's still so smooth and as soft as the day I got it, (it's had plenty of use too). It's also worth noting how easy to clean it is!
The reason I was drawn to buying this bullet, in particular, was because I hadn't owned a bullet before, so I was scared of it going too far in and not being able to retrieve it. The cord and bead definitely put your mind at rest, you can put it as deep as you like and you'll always be able to quickly and safely remove it thanks to this feature.
As for use with a partner, I must say it's perfect! So small yet so powerful, you can hold it in position externally, It will never get in the way, and have an amazing experience!
My partner can also sometimes feel it while he's inside, it's that powerful, and the vibrations go through him and reach me inside too which is a fun surprise when that happens.
Don't let the fact that there's only one button put you off, if anything it's another great feature! It makes it a lot easier to use, solo or with a partner, and I really can't stress enough how powerful it is, you really don't need extra functions, it's amazing!
I know what you're thinking now, if it's so powerful, it must be so noisy! well, I'm glad to tell you, you're wrong! Please let me put your mind at ease, no one will hear your bullet. I have no idea how it's so powerful yet so quiet, but it is! It's amazing! My house has very thin walls, so I asked my partner to stand in nearby rooms, while I turn it on and he told me he couldn't hear a thing! Not even when next to the door. So if you live with lots of people, rest assured you have privacy with your bullet!
For all these reasons, this is by far my favourite toy. I'm sure if you buy this, you will most definitely enjoy it too!
It's great for teasing (for both genders), and orgasm (clitoral and vaginal). I'd recommend it to anyone, and for that price, even better! Definitely worth the purchase.
I do have to add one downside, though, the batteries do run out, and are usually only sold in a pack of two so you must stock up on those if you want to enjoy this great bullet. I'd definitely suggest following the advice of taking out the batteries when you're done playing, as I've found it vastly increases the battery life. Also keep some spare close by, you don't want the battery juice to run down when it's getting fun!
- Pros
- It's soft, very powerful, small, has a cord, quiet, and is easy to use!
- Cons
- Batteries can run out after a few uses, and might need to be changed frequently.
- Bottom line
- The best powerful yet quiet bullet!

Sinking to the bottom of the harbour in 1628, the Vasa is arguably the best preserved ancient maritime artifact in the world. Its maiden voyage lasted a mere 1300 metres before capsizing just off shore. Early attempts to raise it were unsuccessful, but a state backed effort began salvage in 1956. In 1961, after years of preparation and raising small portions of the ship, the main lift was performed. However, this was just the beginning. Preservations efforts would continue until 1979, when the spraying of the preservative substance was complete.
This elaborate effort and years of hard work have left a legacy for future generations to experience and learn about their seafaring past. Upon entry into the building, you are overwhelemed by the completely restored and preserved Vasa. The ship is incredibly fully assembled indoors multiple related exhibits depicting subjects such as the building process, life on board and Sweden's rich maritime history.
Dedicate at least a morning to this museum, as it is unlike any other in the world and you will find yourself captivated by the vastness of the ship and the science and dedication behind its preservation.

My trip to Scotland was absolutely wonderful. All the hotels were perfectly located, clean, and had wonderful amenities. The guides were exceptional and really knew Scotland and so much of the history. My Kensington representative, Lynne, was very helpful, very responsive, and was tremendously patient while I made numerous changes to the itinerary. It was a superb experience and one that I will never forget.
Christian was our driver/guide. He was knowledgeable, thorough, caring/considerate and gave of his time greatly.
My husband and I had the time of our lives in the UK and Ireland! The tours that were set up for us were exactly what we hoped for and more. We learned so much and saw so much! Very impressed! I have already told others about Kensington tours. If you book, you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Kevin!
Our tour guide in Roma,Francesco, was the best guide we ever had on this and our last trip that was provided by Kensington. Our other guides were also very good, but Francesco was outstanding.
Our guides were excellent. Noel Clawson in Wales was friendly, knowledgeable, and just a pleasure to be around. Glen Jones for our day with him was also excellent and I would highly recommend a guided tour of London. Much more efficient than the hop on/hop off tour.
All of the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and conducted themselves in a professional manner. Both Dino Quaas and Andreas Zurner were extremely helpful and added significantly to the tour.
Our honeymoon that was setup and organized by Kensington Tours was absolutely amazing. All the details were taken care of and made our trip pleasant and stress free. Our accommodations were top notch with beautiful views located close to our destinations. Our guides and trip advisors were very knowledgeable. I would recommend Kensington tours to all my friends and family for future use as a travel agency as well as they will be our first choice in our future travel plans.
Chantal designed an amazing trip for my sister and I! She was so helpful from start to end! Always answered me so promptly and walked me thru everything when booking! I can't wait to plan my next trip with Chantal and Kensington Tours
Thanks to Kensington Tours, this trip could not have been better! The tour guides were the very best making our experience absolutely wonderful. Our accommodations were wonderful, and the logistics went like clockwork. Thank you for making our trip a once in a lifetime experience. I have already recommended Kensington to others.
I loved the vacation.. Your guides were fabulous and you put me into Hotels that were exactly where we wanted to be. Will contact you for our next trip!

I have the following code:
if (is_category() || is_page('finds') || is_page('family')) {
if(is_category('finds') || in_category('finds') || is_page('finds')) {
$maincat = 'Finds';
} elseif(is_category('family') || in_category('family') || is_page('family')) {
$maincat = 'Family'; }
$maincat_nicename = strtolower($maincat);
echo '
 CatName:'.$maincat.' CatNiceName:'.$maincat_nicename.'

';
Basically, the code checks to see if the page is a CATEGORY or a specific PAGE. Then, depending on the category or page name, it sets a variable ($maincat). Either the page is a PAGE or it IS a CATEGORY or is IN a CATEGORY (for example: it is either the category called 'Find', or it is IN a category called 'Find').
Most of the time, this code works fine. But, there is one category called 'School-Age' that is located in the 'Family' category that doesn't work. When I go to that category page for 'school-age', it does NOT set the variable $maincat. It should satisfy the condition:
(because it is IN the 'family' category)
and it should do the following:
$maincat = 'Family';
But, it is NOT echoing a value for $maincat.
Please help! I double-checked the administration and there is definitely a category in FAMILY called SCHOOL-AGE. Also, there are other categories that work fine.

For an (etale or 'topological', constructible bounded) complex of sheaves $C$ on $X'=\mathbb{A}^{N}\setminus \{0\} $, $i'$ being the embedding $\mathbb{A}^{N-1}\setminus \{0\}\to \mathbb{A}^{N}\setminus \{0\} $ I would like to compute the cohomology of $Ri'_*C$. Are there any 'nice' ways to do this? I would to consider the embedding $j: \mathbb{A}^{N}\setminus \{0\} \to \mathbb{A}^{N}$ and restrict $Rj_*C$ to $\mathbb{A}^{N-1}$ instead; yet we do not have a base change isomorphism here, and so the cohomology of $Ri^*Rj_*C$ is not very much related with the one of $Ri'_*C$. Is there any way to 'fix' this nuisance?
How can one compute the cohomology of $i'^*C$, for $i':\mathbb{A}^{N-1}\setminus \{0\}\to \mathbb{A}^{N}\setminus \{0\} $?
