Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Far better than expectedPosted Nov 19, 2013
From pictures of the cabin I saw on the web site, my expectations were low. I walked in and was very pleasantly surprised. The price is great, the owners were very friendly and helpful, and the cabin was awesome. The only complaint I have is very minor in the grand scheme of things--the bed was pretty uncomfortable. I could've slept on the futon if I really wanted, but I wasn't all that picky. Maybe a few extra blankets given the cold weather (the only ones were on the bed). Honestly though, I was hugely impressed and hope to make many return trips.

Cabin comfortPosted Nov 2, 2013
Pros: Perfect size. Affordable. Close to thin gs and private.
Cons: Nothing I can possibly think of
Location: Nantahala, N.C. close to Bryson city train ride or train museum. Very unique shops.
Very comfortable. Close enough to town but private,. Quiet, clean, and staff is very nice. If your looking for a cool place to relax but enjoy the mountains this is it.
by Mike from Mocksville, NC
Off the beaten pathPosted Oct 16, 2013
Pros: Amenities and location
Cons: None- great deal
Location: Near Nantahala Outdoor Center with hiking, rafting, kayaking, swimming, train rides, great food are all less than five minutes away.
Located near the Nantahala Outdoor Center is a beautiful cabin where you are able to get back to nature yet still be less than 5 minutes from the amenities afforded at the outdoor center. The cabin is clean, modern with all amenities, plenty of room and equipped with all the comforts of home. Great deal with a fair price- look forward to staying there again and would recommend to anyone who loves the outdoors and appreciates some peace and quiet.
by Ann from Georgia
Great proximity to NOCPosted Oct 3, 2013
Pros: The best part would have to be the hot tub! It is a great get away for a couple!
Cons: I would recommend improving the technology the Television was dated and the stereo system did not work.
Location: Great place for family adventure close to outdoor center which has whitewater rafting and ziplining. Cherokee Casino-food,spa,entertainment
The staff was absolutely amazing!!! I had a problem with Expedia triple booking my cabin but the staff worked to help resolve the issue. The staff always answered the phone if we had problems and always had a smile.

Nice cabinPosted Oct 29, 2012

Skip to comments.Actresses Hewitt, Derek Visit Injured Troops
Posted on 05/05/2003 5:30:28 PM PDT by Crusader21stCentury
The actresses visited they visited troops who are recovering from their Iraq war injuries at Washington, D.C.'s Bethesda Naval Medical Center and Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
It was not a first-time visit for Derek. She often visits injured servicemen and women in military hospitals.
Derek, 46, has appeared in such films as "10," "Tommy Boy" and most recently, "Malibu's Most Wanted."
Hewitt, 24, has starred in the hit television series "Party of Five," and has had roles in such films as "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "Heartbreakers" and "The Tuxedo."
Well, we've all seen Bo Derek, so here are some Jennifer Love Hewitt pics.
An under-appreciated fact about Jennifer Love Hewitt is that she is the reincarnation of the 12th-dynasty heretic ancient Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaton.
Trust me, not everyone knows this!
The problem is, young ladies often have very firm and toned bodies. I will not have a relationship with someone whose body is so firm and toned that I fear being crushed.
Now, if she stops exercising and eats more jelly doughnuts . . . maybe.
We all should support these daring, conservative, artists whenever the opportunity presents.
Since you don't want them, would you mind sending them my way?
Sigh....For fourteen years, we had a young lady in our office who was the spitting image of Bo Derek. She retained her sweet innocence for the whole time - Lord only knows how!
Off topic - original article pegs Bo at 46....I've just turned 56, and was always under the impression that she was MUCH less than 10 years younger than I be; a little PR at work maybe?
JLH and Akhenaton go into a bar. The barkeep looks up and asks, "Why the long faces?"
Ahhh...you're undoubtedly right; maybe it was wishful thinking on my part.
You must have graduated a while back, Johnie. ;o)
Go rent "Heartbreakers" (with Sigourney Weaver and Ray Liotta), and I dare you to tell me she doesn't look good *now*...
I missed the SnowBunny thing. The only problem I ever had with Bo showing her bod was wondering what she'd look like with some clothes on.
tuning in Tokyo?
If what they did was not done for publicity reasons, then it is a wonderful thing. Think of how many of those troops must have felt with these great gals giving them a bit of attention.
I wasn't aware that Derek had done this before. Very commendable!

text: Hi Rob , Im not sure if I understand what you mean. The 777 uses the instrumentation/altimeter/indicated-altitude-ft to run the altimeter settings .... I havent checked to see how it deals with the reported MET pressure ... but it looks like you already know that above 17999 ft you set the altimeter to 29.92 ... and ATC should be receiving the aircraft's altitude from its transponder ... its not very likely that your at the reported altitude unless you have a perfect ICAO day ...

1973 23 Years Old Carpenter started out as both the group's drummer and lead singer, and she originally sang all her vocals from behind the drum set. Because at 5 feet 4 inches tall it was difficult for people in the audience to see her behind her drum kit, she was eventually persuaded to stand at the microphone to sing the band's hits while another musician played the drums. (Former Disney Mouseketeer Cubby O'Brien served as the band's other drummer for many years.) After the release of Now & Then in 1973, the albums tended to have Carpenter singing more and drumming less. … Read More

A lot of nudity goes on here – nothing full-frontal or all that flagrant, but enough. Of late, though, it hasn't been me (and you can verify by going through the last few months of posts by clicking the 'Older Entries' option barely used or seen in the lower left when you scroll down). That bodes well for the future of this site, in which, despite the name, attention has shifted slightly to other things. For a final birthday post, however, a few more birthday suit shots, per request. Hope you stick around to see how 41 unfolds…
Birthday-Suited Butt Boy
My forty-one-year-old ass is ready for its close-up.
Get DeMille on the line and fire up the Isotta-Frascini.
The pool is ready, willing, and able.
I've got my birthday suit on, much like last year.
And any other year for that matter.
What are you waiting for?
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman birthday but never remembers her age. ~ Robert Frost
A Tour, and Body, Laid Bare
The Delusional Grandeur Tour may be even more delusional than originally thought, as my traveling seems to have diminished greatly. When you only have to step out your back door to an 87-degree pool, and back inside to a cool 70-degree house, travel seems largely unappealing. That said, I still enjoy a jaunt out of town, and this tour is still in full-effect until I say it isn't. Hence this bonus tour post, which recalls the Hotel portion of the Tour book. Rather than trouble you with further discussion, here are a few links to bring you back to one of my favorite hobbies: staying in hotels.
"I'm more at home with my backpack, sleeping in a hotel room or on a bus or on an airplane. Than I am necessarily on a bed. It's weird being here. It feels like I'm standing next to my real life." ~ Henry Rollins
There's a distinctive shift that comes over me when I'm in a hotel room. A sense of safety in anonymity, the possibility of being unknown and untouchable. Ensconced in a lofty space high above a city, or on the ground floor of some seaside retreat, I find comfort in being a transient stranger.
We are all known in our own circles, and that can be incredibly wearying.
As much as we strive to be known, to be recognized, to be seen, we sometimes forget that it comes with its own set of burdens and responsibilities.
I long for a different kind of freedom, something that can only be found when you go away.
Famous Nude Guys
In the aftermath of Orlando Bloom's more-than-just-a-dick-slip photos, it seems fitting to pause for further reflection and reminiscing over those male celebrities who have bared their assets for all the world to see. Male nudity is the final frontier, it seems, for prurient America, and in this wretched election year let's turn our attention to the staffs at hand.
A is for Austin Armacost, who has graced these pages with his boffo bod, ever-improving over the years. These latest shots prove that Armacost has focused on his very best parts, and shown them off to their greatest potential.
B is for Bloom, as in Orlando, who started this resurgence of male nudity with this collection of racy fully-nude photos. It also stands for Bieber – Justin Bieber – who continued the streak, quite literally.
C is for Chris Salvatore, whose musical prowess is as magical as his disrobing.
D is for the delicious David Gandy, eye-&-man-candy, and deliriously-sexy Dan Osborne.
E is for Epke Zonderland, one of the very first naked Olympians we ever featured on this site, back in the Summer Olympics of 2012.
F is for Fusco, as in one of our most popular Hunks of all-time, Philip Fusco, who has been charming our pants off by taking his pants off for years.
G is for gingers, like Greg Rutherford – and the red carpet matched the red drapes.
We're just going to skep ahead to Z, because it's summer, I'm tired, and there's more than enough naked male celebrities for you to fawn over until tomorrow.
Z is for Zac Efron, who went bottoms-up in this memorable post, and has teased us tantalizingly ever since.
Shadows & Obscurity
Unseen, across the landscape of light, a morning approaches. Unbidden, because there are certain nights you don't want to end, it presents itself matter-of-factly. There it stands in front of you: the day. Unpretentious, indisputable, and always just a little inscrutable, it awaits further instruction. Which way will you go? Where will you take it? How would you like it to end?
Obscured by the changing lens of life, it looks a little different to everyone. Distorted by the stories we tell ourselves, and the tales we choose to hear, it bends and refracts and ricochets like light. Yet as tricky as it sometimes seems to be, there is something reassuring about the whole scene: a tacit understanding with the day that we will do it together.
An Olympic Hero Gets Naked
We are but a few weeks away from the summer Olympics, and our Hunks of the Day are all coming to you straight from the Olympic trials. While Greg Louganis has already been a Hunk of the Day, and a hero, he's showing off his fine physique without so much as a Speedo for the ESPN Body Issue (read: the Nude Issue). It is a thrill to see someone still exercise such fine form and mastery of staying in shape, but when you have Olympic blood in you, it seems to be part of life.
Mr. Louganis has made a splash here before, in ways both moving and sexy, and he does that again in this brief post. Though he was diagnosed with HIV almost three decades ago, he's still going strong. As he recently told 'People' magazine, "HIV taught me that I'm a lot stronger than I ever believed I was… Also, not to take anything for granted. I didn't think I would see 30, and here I am at 56."
As a new crop of divers heads to Rio to prove their worth, it's good to see an old favorite – and a childhood hero of mine – still inspiring, and jumping into the future without looking back.
Hunk of the Day: Ross Worswick
Though his pal Joss Mooney's ample ass makes a Special Guest Appearance in some of these pics (scroll down for the fuller version) this is Ross Worswick's Hunk of the Day honor, and the MTV sex symbol more than proves his hunky merit in his own right.
Nick Bateman Bares His Naked Ass
The title of the post pretty much sums up the assets on display. Nick Bateman has been a Hunk of the Day before, but it clearly due again. In the meantime, he just posted a naked butt shot on his mega-popular Instagram feed. For those who are hungry, here's something to whet the appetite.
Naked Saturday
It wouldn't be fair for me to do a post catechizing other guys to take their pants off if I'm not going to do my part and be brave too, so here's the nude preamble to today's posts. Truth be told, I haven't been as unclothed here as everyone seems to think I am, but that's what happens when nudity is involved – everything gets thrown out of whack and blown out of proportion. The false puritan notions of America, bogged down by hypocrisy and hyperbole.
This site has long been a bully pulpit for self-expression and a shame-free zone for the naked human body. While there is no full-frontal nudity (I don't mind the NSFW label we get, as long as I know it's not true) there's just about every other sort, and one man's backside is another man's treasure. Now we're slipping into Debbie Reynolds talk, and I'm pretty sure Carrie Fisher would hardly approve. Come back later for hotter guys similarly lacking in attire.
Gus Kenworthy: Naked at Noon
Gus Kenworthy has become one cheeky Olympian, and no one is more glad than the visitors here. His naked ass first appeared in his virgin Hunk of the Day post, and since then it's been popping out all over Instagram. Apparently no one's complaining about another nude Gus Kenworthy shot, so scroll down for more. And to think we go crazy when male celebrities go shirtless – this is whole new level of swooning.
Happy World Naked Gardening Day 2016
The first Saturday in May has been dubbed "World Naked Gardening Day" and this year it couldn't have fallen on a better date. The merits of gardening without clothing are questionable at best, dangerous at worst, but so highly entertaining it seems the powers-that-be have made an unofficial holiday of it. Though it's been far too cold and dreary to take any new shots (and my winter body fat has yet to be shed) I've been naked in the garden before, so go here for a look back at my backside. For this post, let's have a gander at some other asses.
And in case anyone still thinks it's just a nude pose, check out these gardening links:
Don't cry for me, Larix decidua.
And if it's the guy below you're into (or want to be in to), here's Paddy out of the woods.
Sunday Shirtcocking
There may not be a dictionary definition for shirtcocking yet, but if Donnie Rust has anything to say about it there should be. The act of wearing a shirt and no pants is the very loose description of it, as illustrated by all butt one of these shots. (Yes, that 'butt' was entirely intentional; there are no accidents here.)
"The terrible poetry of human nudity, I understand it at last, I who tremble for the first time in trying to read it with blasé eyes." ― Rachilde
"Beware of the naked man who offers you his shirt." ~ Navjot Singh Sidhu
"I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic, and a progressive religious experience." ― Shelley Winters
Mid-Day Ginger Treat: Burning Bush
Though we already have a Hunk of the Day picked out for a bit later, I'm giving you a bonus post of Mr. Kevin Long. Based on this photo shoot alone, there's a good chance that Long will be featured in his very own Hunk of the Day feature in short order. In the meantime, enjoy this ginger-themed one-off for this very hot St. Patrick's Day.
Hunk of the Day: Bryce Harper
Much has been made over his miraculous feat of doing squats while balancing precariously atop an exercise ball, but Bryce Harper more than earns his first Hunk of the Day crowning simply through his baseball-playing prowess and accompanying body. It's on display here and is ample justification for this honor. Here's hoping he poses for another Naked Body Issue very soon.
Hunk of the Day: François Sagat
The bold celebration of gay porn that this site has recently embodied comes to a tattooed head with this Hunk of the Day, François Sagat. This rugged Frenchman with a scalp tattoo had been delighting audiences for his entire career, and only a couple of years ago did he announcement from the porn industry. Luckily, he's been immortalized in shots like these.

Beauty Break: Will Karl Glusman Break Out at Cannes?
Cannes is as high profile as film festivals get so your first starring role in a buzzy feature could really make waves. Consider... Karl Glusman. He's the male star of Gaspar Noé's Love, the already buzzy sex film that gets a special screening at Cannes. He has a few credits in shorts and several on stage, plus voice work in a Starship Troopers film but he's still an unknown quantity. 2015 will be his first year in the movies proper so it could well start with a bang.
Gaspar Noé calls him
...the collest actor I have ever met. He is daring, joyful and intelligent. He has love scenes throughout the whole movie. He is the ultimate 3D baby maker."

Pannebecker: Trump represents hope for American workers
Nearly 95% of the private sector workers in America do not belong to a union. So as we observed Labor Day Monday, with Donald Trump enjoying a significant amount of support from blue collar workers here in the Midwest, let's step back and re-evaluate who the term "labor" actually represents when it is used today, as opposed to what the term meant nearly 100 years ago, and how it has been hijacked by politicians, union bosses and the mainstream media in the decades since the "labor movement" of the early 1900's changed America.

Some things just hit a nerve. With me, it's issues with how often schools are cancelled due to bad weather or roads. State law says schools must operate a certain number of days or hours. When schools cancel too often due to weather, the days are supposed to be made up.

In view of the past five years of the Obama regime we've learned that just when you reach the point where you want to say "they'd never do that" you come up short and admit that they would. For instance, the using the IRS as political Brown Shirts has been passe since Richard Nixon tried it circa 1972. Benghazi: whether or not a rescue was possible the fact that the regime promoted an egregious lie to avoid accountability shows the depths of their moral depravity. The VA scandal seems to have been institutionalized from the top down and it got worse even as funding increased and patient load decreased.
When one looks at this deal concocted to release Bergdahl one is struck by several facts:
1. The regime desperately needs to divert attention from the economy and its own record of misgovernment.
2. It perceived that releasing Bergdahl would bring political benefits:
On May 1st, in a surprise visit to Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, President Obama announced that the United States will now pursue "a negotiated peace" with the Taliban. That peace is likely to include a prisoner swap – or a "confidence-building measure," as U.S. officials working on the negotiations call it – that could finally end the longest war in America's history. Bowe is the one prisoner the Taliban have to trade. "It could be a huge win if Obama could bring him home," says a senior administration official familiar with the negotiations. "Especially in an election year, if it's handled properly."
Though this is not a presidential election year, there is no doubt that 2014 is an important year to Obama because his life will become much more interesting if the GOP retakes the Senate.
3. The regime violated the law when he released five Taliban prisoners from Guantanamo in a prisoner swap.
So far no surprises, right?
What we don't know are the complete terms of the exchange? Did we pay a ransom? Or did we allow Qatar, the broker in the negotiations, to pay a ransom? Was the ransom cash, non-military, or arms? And was outing the CIA station chief in Kabul part of the deal?
One thing we know is that when it comes to the actions of the Obama regime one can never be sure there is something they won't to further their own ends.

The PLAY LAW "line of allegiance". What a quaint fantasy.<quoted text>
Post whatever you wish Mobarf. Doesn't make a flip to me one way or the other. Just follow that line of allegiance. Simple as that.
BTW, you forgot to cite your play law "authorities".
<quoted text>
You don't care the opinion of James Madison, and courts in the days right after the country was founded?
You don't care what every court has held throughout the history of this nation?
Madison was a founding father who spoke directly to the issue. The Courts of the United States are authorities.
You are a schizophrenic birfoon.
Who cares what you think? What force of law has your opinion? ZIPPITY, BUPKUS, NADA, ZERO.
But ignorant BirfoonBoy says they are all wrong throughout the history of this country.

One of the drawbacks of using VIO VSCSI to map SAN LUN's to LPAR's is the time it takes to map the disks through on the VIO servers. The LUN's must be created on the SAN and allocated to the VIO server. On the VIO server you must then map each hdisk to the...

7 Ways To Transform Your Relationship With your Dog

Now that After Effects has finished tracking and solving this scene, I've decided I want to put the poster on this side of the building. So I'm going to move my time indicator to a point where I had the clearest view of that surface. There's a few different ways to define what point in the 3D space you want to put your new layer to composite into the scene. One is just by moving the cursor over the Composition Panel while the 3D Camera Tracker is selected. If the Camera Tracker is not selected, your Track Points disappear. When it is selected, you get to see them and you get some interactive help in placing your points.
You need a minimum of three points to define a plane that After Effects will then place your new object on. As you drag your cursor between points, After Effects will automatically triangulate the three closest points and suggest those as possible places to create a plane. As you do so, look at the orientation of this bull's eye compared to the perspective of this actual scene. For example, down here the bull's eye looks like it's titled forward compared to that side of the building, so that would not be a good set of points to select.
However, something up here looks to have a better perspective compared to how the building is actually oriented. So this might make a good set of points whereas this trio obviously would not make a good set of points. So this is one approach that After Effects triangulate three points, click once and After Effects will select those three points as candidates to go ahead and create your new surface. Another approach is just to manually lasso a large number of points on the surface that you want to use.
After Effects will average together those points, throw out outliers that don't seem to agree with the other ones and again give you your target to work with. A third approach is to manually select the points yourself. Select one point to start, then Shift+Click additional points to define your plane, and select at least three. Points that are further apart create a more accurate plane. The closer they are the more of a chance you get a rogue tilt in your plane. Further apart, you will have a better orientation and you'll see this bull's eye looks like it's pretty well-oriented against the side of this building.
I tend to use a combination of these techniques. I'll select four apparently good points that are far apart and then hold the Shift key and lasso additional points in the core of that surface just to get more data to average together. Once you've done that you can hover your cursor over the bull's eye until you see this little four-headed arrow, which indicates you can move the bull's eye, move it to the center of where you want to place your new surface or your new layer.
I want to hang my poster pretty high in the side of this building so I'm going to choose around there. Another good habit to get into is to initially resize your bull's eye to roughly match the scale of the object you want to put on this layer. This is not so important if you're using no logic. It's more important if you're directly creating text. Neither case is a good habit to get into. Place your cursor over the center of the bull's eye, hold down Option on Mac or Alt on Windows and you'll see the cursor changes to a two-directional arrow. Scrub your bull's eye until it's roughly the size you want, in my case covering this side of the building, and I'll interactively reposition my bull's eye to center it and then resize it to make it cover that wall.
You can also resize your target over here in the Effect Controls Panel. Once you have a nice bull's eye target, right-click anywhere inside this ghosted white area that defines your new plane. Doing so will give you a list of options on what After Effects will create. Since I've not yet created a camera in the scene, all of my options will include, and Camera. But you see you can Create Text, Solid, Null or Shadow Catcher, which we will discuss a few movies from now, that based on the location of this bull's eye.
Or alternatively, you can create individual Text, Solid or Nulls for each of these points you have selected as opposed to the position of the bull's eye. In my case, I just need one layer, preferably a Null object, which I can then parent my poster to. So I'll select Null and Camera. You'll see a new Null object has been added to my scene as well as a 3D camera, which has been animated to match the camera's movement in this scene. I'll press U to reveals keyframes and you'll see After Effects is tracking its position, its rotation and its zoom in case the operator had a zoom rather than fixed lens and was altering the zoom during the course of this shot.
Now that we have a Null object in the scene, we can attach our own layers to it, and that's what we will do in the next movie.
