When it comes to eating out it's one of my all time favourite pastimes and whenever I get the opportunity to eat and to pick where to eat I'll always opt for a Chinese buffet type of place. I can never make a decision on what to eat from a menu so I like the feeling that I can just nibble whatever I fancy really.
Last year in Coventry this restaurant arrived and it caused quite a stir. Everyone was saying how the people that owned this restaurant owned one in London and Coventry really is so rubbish on places to eat at so we all got rather excited about it's arrival and this was the first restaurant (and the only one thus far) of this type to be here and it's really, really popular!
Situated in the town centre (10 minutes walk away from our train station) and very accessible on alot of bus routes it's placed amongst shops and is a stones throw away from other pubs and restaurants as it's slap bang central. Next door there is an Italian restaurant and like I say there are other pubs. This restaurant pretty much looks like a shop front with it's large blinded window and simple door.
As you walk in your met with a lovely small seating area with nice sofas and tables and traditional ornaments and flowers and a small fountain and this is where your sit if waiting for a table (which is rare) cos the turn over of people is pretty good.
To the the left of that are there is bar which is extensively stocked with all sorts of drinks and a good selection of wines and bottled beers and alco-pops and it's all really well lit up so you can see what you want! The rest of the restaurant is cream in colour, very well lit but not stark and too bright, tiled floor, bamboo walls, high backed chairs and dark tables covered in white tablecloths, cutlery and glasses. Again ornaments, lanterns and vases of flowers are points of interest and add colour to the room giving it a nice warm feeling.
Table wise there are quite a few of them and of different sizes and I have eaten here many times and it's great if there's two of you and you know to ask for a private table but if you go in on the off chance say on a Friday or Saturday night they bung you in anywhere and they do have some tables very, very close together which feels rather uncomfortable and one night there were 4 couples all on a row of two tables each and it felt really crowded and I could really hear other peoples conversations! So if you do want a more private table I suggest booking and making it clear you want a table for two that is quiet which I have asked for on a few occasions and got! There are huge tables as well and again booking those really is advisable.
The whole place is very clean and the staff are absolutely superb and really efficient. They actually know me now and know I like a very private table and that's what I get each and every time I go in. Dressed in formal black outfits they are there purely to wait on you and serve and they do this very well in a none obtrusive manner and what they don't know about the food here isn't worth knowing. Gentle music plays in the background and providing your happy with your seating (like I haven't been a couple of times) the atmosphere is pleasant (though rowdy and packed at weekends) but quieter on a week night.
The Food:
The idea here is to order as much or as little off the menu as you please when you please. There is a massive selection of starters, mains, noodles, side dishes and sauces to pick from and you simply order whatever you like. When done they remove the plates and stuff it all came out in and ask what do you want next it's that simple. There is no limit to the amount of food you can request or consume at any time and again when you've been here a few times you can sort of specially request stuff as well. They are really there to please!
Because the food is cooked to order I do suggest if eating here to order quite a few things at once. At first I always felt greedy asking for about 12 dishes at a time but what you get is very small portions of things and like I say while you digest that your waiting for a next course if you put your order in and typically I find I wait about 10 minutes for the next round of food no matter how many dishes I order (at most 15 minutes).
So what food are we talking?
Well there are about 50 starters to choose from and about 150 main meal type things and lots of side orders as well. You can of course simply eat the starters if you want to or start off with main meals and go back to the starters, you simply mix and match to your hearts content as it's all displayed on one big menu. An example of this was my mate once when we went out started of with a Chinese curry and then ate two whole crispy ducks, pancakes the lot and then ate plate after plate of beansprouts lol!
I'm not going to list all the dishes available of course but I will tell you some of my personal favourites! From the starters I always have Butterfly King Prawns, Wafer Wrapped Prawns, Crispy Aroma Duck, Malaysian Satay Chicken Skewers (topped with Satay Sauce), Salt & Chilli Squid (this is delicious!) Salt & Chilli Mussels (x10 lol), Honey Glazed Chicken Wings, Thai Style Garlic Ribs (served with Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce) and some sort of soup which again there are loads to choose from and my personal favourite is the Beef Westlake Soup! For mains there is a selection of both Chinese, Szechuan and Cantonese dishes and once again I usually know what to order! I love Loin of Pork with Chilli, Garlic & Dried Shallots, Stir Fried King Prawns Szechuan Style, Roast Duck Kung Po, Beef Chow Mein and I have to hold myself back from indulging in many other dishes like curries and fu yungs and stuff like that or I'd bust my belly! What is nice about this place is that everything comes out on plates or in little pots and attention is really paid to the presentation of the food. Like what I eat sounds absolutely loads but in reality you get like three small spare ribs say and you share them so it really is quite a sociable experience! The noodles and side dishes here are delicious too and I always have loads of rices and things!
I like the fact that here there are lots of lovely things to eat but lots or rices, noodles and side dishes of vegetables and things served as well as extras like sauces (E.G curry sauce bbq and a variety of chilli and plum sauces). Also chips are on the menu for philistines and there are absolutely loads of options for vegetarians that are really lovely either made up from tofu, vegetables or both and the menu really does explain what each dish contains and explains if it's hot or not etc. The only small negative here is that there are no desserts available but to be honest I've never much liked Chinese offerings in that department anyway and find I have no room for dessert left anyway!
The food here is truly delicious, served hot and promptly and never have I felt rushed or been put ill at ease. The tables are kept clean and like I said earlier you do have to keep ordering to get the food running well to your table and if your a bit shy then this isn't the sort of place for you or you don't get fed lol! The drinks here are reasonably priced too. I'm not sure of individual prices of drinks but I think its a bit more than pub prices but not hugely so. I know my mates were pleased they sold bottles of Budweiser and didn't complain of the prices and me I usually opt for a bottle of white house wine at about £11.00 a bottle.
The place feels very busy even when it isn't really. It's a great place to go with friends and family in a large group but not the sort of place you go on a first date! I went on a date here and I'm a pig and felt all I was concentrating on was what I was having and when and you get no privacy but like I say for groups this is fabulous and the standard of service and the way the food is, is so amazing and well presented it is worth going to and the price is amazing too! (I'll come on to that in a minute if I may) lol.
The other negative is that if your not completely mobile then this place is hard to navigate your way around. It isn't a huge restaurant and they have tried to capitalise on the space they have making the aisles between tables not very much at all and there is no wheelchair access or disabled toilets I'm aware of. The toilets here are an after thought being very small and cramped but clean and nothing to report there really. They're not awful but the as the restaurant is so nice you'd think the loo's would be a bit posher!.
I absolutely love the food here and never once have I eaten something and not enjoyed it and it's great way of sampling foods that you've never seen or heard of before. I feel like the chefs here love their work and that the waiters and waitresses enjoy their jobs.
There is a karaoke bar upstairs and I haven't been up there though the waiters have tried to physically force me and my company up there on a few occasions. Lots of times I've seen lots of Chinese people going up there all dressed up and giggling and I've heard it's a great, fun night out and it has a dance-floor and bar up there too and lots of seating etc. What is nice is that although that is all going on when your eating you can't hear anything and it isn't intrusive to your dining experience at all. This is open Thurs-Sun 8.30-4am and Fri-Sat nights it's open till 6am!
The restaurant is open 4pm - 7pm and then the second seating is 7pm -10:30pm and priced at Adults - £13.90, Children (under 8) - £7.00.
Service charge of 10% will be added for parties of 8 and above.
I do recommend this restaurant if you come to Coventry. It's a nice little restaurant with good service, nice surroundings and fabulous food though it always seems busy! Children are welcome here but there is no where to change babies, no play area and it's strictly seated and come to mention it I've never seen children in here oh and there isn't a smoking area so you have to go to the front of the restaurant if you want one!
Booking is advisable!

This past week served as an opportunity for us to get back on the practice floor without the need to exclusively prepare for our next opponent. We were able to get back to the basics offensively and defensively.
Over the course of a season, especially in the Big Ten Conference, your opponents demand so much of your practice time because of their skill level and style of play. Every coach will tell you that in effort to be prepared for the game ahead, you do not have the ability to practice all the things that you would like. Slippage is going to occur, but we were fortunate this past week to have the bye week to address some of those areas.
On Sunday, Illinois came into Crisler Center on a roll and we knew that they would be ready to play. I credit our team for playing tough the first half and for creating some separation in the second half by converting good defense into good offense.
Trey Burke went over the 1,000-point mark for his career. This is a tremendous accomplishment for Trey. Over the past two seasons, he has played some outstanding basketball for us.
Jordan Morgan played extended minutes on Sunday for the first time since his injury. Jordan's energy and activity were critical in our victory. I give him a ton of credit for his hard work and his determination with his rehab.
Our next opponent is Penn State tomorrow night in State College. Any Big Ten road game deserves the proper preparation and attention.
Penn State played tough here 10 days ago, and it will take a team effort to walk out of State College with a victory.
We look forward to the tomorrow night's opportunity to continue to push forward in the Big Ten Conference.
Go Blue!

One Fox commentator after another is blaming President Obama for rising gas prices. Gretchen Carlson asked, "Why is nobody talking about this? …I remember when President Bush was president, people talked about it almost every single day." Carlson seems to forget Fox's stance in 2008, when prices spiked under Bush. Media Matters reminds us that back then, Fox pundits argued that the president has no influence over gas prices. Instead, they were controlled by market forces–and it was unfair to blame Bush. Apparently the economics of gas completely changed when Obama was elected. Listen:

New Faces: Jayson Velez
By Robert Coster
A bright, new face in boxing in Puerto Rico is 22-year-old power-punching junior featherweight Jayson Velez (12-0, 10 KOs). The youngster, signed up with Miguel Cotto Promotions, is rapidly developing a strong fan base on the Island and the reasons are obvious: he has paralyzing KO power, as well as great speed and reach. Only one of Jayson's opponents has gone the limit with him (another victory was a DQ).
Photos: Team Velez
Click the photo to go to the next photo
In his last bout on March 27th, Velez only took two minutes to dispose of Colombian veteran Pedro Rincon, winning the WBC USNBC belt. In a division in which Puerto Rico has produced great champions, like: Wilfredo Gomez and Wilfredo Vasquez, young Jayson looks poised to carry on this tradition.
However, Jayson's mettle should be sorely tested in his next fight: he will be making his American debut at the Madison Square Garden on June 12th against unbeaten, Brooklyn-based Puerto Rican prospect Jorge" King" Diaz (13-0). The fight, which will be for Velez's recently won title, will be transmitted by Top Rank live on Fox Sports( Ivan Calderon is the main event of the show).
Miguel Cotto is confident about his young boxer's future,"I believe Jayson will get through this difficult test against Diaz with flying colors. Jayson has what it takes to go all the way."

We recently caught up with Charles Reed for a quick interview. Charles Reed is the man behind "Jook With Me" (listen here). We discussed a couple things. 10 things to be specific. Read below…
Charles Reed: I actually came out to Florida because I was going to school at Full Sail in Orlando. I ended up meeting a friend who heard me sing. He introduced me to some producers, who then introduced me to some people in Miami. One of those people ended up being Cedric Hollywood, who's the director of programming over at 99 Jamz. I started to then come down to Miami every weekend, staying in hotels every weekend and from that, I just ended up moving out here. With that, I ended up meeting with and collaborating with Bigg D.
Charles Reed: Yeah, I'm actually signed to DadeTown, under Bigg D. Directly with DadeTown.
Charles Reed: Yeah, Gorilla Tek is my homie, he produced that record. The song was originally or Ball Greezy, but they weren't sure if Greezy wanted to push the record for himself and you know, I ended up remaking a different version of it featuring D Shep and from there it did what it did. But PLEASE let it be known that there's no beef with Ball Greezy or nothing like that. Its nothing like that at all, we're cool.
Charles Reed: We are recording for an album and we're just about staying fresh and staying with the times. So we're recording everyday.
Charles Reed: I wake up early in the morning – I get up and go to the Gym. A lot of times, I'm up Saturdays and just stay busy doing interviews and/or shopping to get ready for a performance later that evening.
Charles Reed: I'm into pretty much anything that look fresh. I keep up with the Nike's, as well as the DC's. I even play around with Vans here and there. I'm very experimental when it comes to dressing. Its just gotta look fresh.
Charles Reed: That would have to be the first time I met Gerald Levert. I actually grew up around his family back in Cleveland and I met him when I was real young, but that was definitely a good time. Learned a lot from that, even just being in Cleveland in general. And even in Miami, I learned a lot from all of the people that I've dealt with down here. I picked up the grind and knowing the way how the industry moves and works.
Charles Reed: In my life in general and even out here and in the industry, its all about patience. You link up with people or certain producers, and expect things to move at a certain speed because of your expectations, but you gotta have patience. Its your career, let it get done right. Have patience.
Charles Reed: Yeah, actually there was this one time when I was in Chicago performing. I was singing to a girl, and she straight up fainted. She was looking at me, she was getting emotional and getting all into it…and she just fainted. It made me feel good though, she was allright. (Laughs)
Charles Reed: Expect consistency. I'm constantly gonna keep it moving. I'm gonna let God guide my course of where I'm supposed to be at. I just got that love and passion for music, that's where its all at for me. And what to expect from me? I'm just writing and trying to get placements on different projects. Maybe do television in the future. Just trying to expand my horizons…

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
The grow house was only 350 buck's a month.It got shot up by some Rollin 60's awhile ago.If you sat on the porch,junkies would hit you up for money and smokes,so they got a pit bull.It was 3 blocks off Alberta Street.They had another one a couple block's down-there were 10 1000 watt light's in each basement.Even I wouldn't live in them,so they just sat there,empty.We hung out there and partied,to make it seem like people lived there.Portland was different then-at least for me.Me and about 5 of my friends from New York had moved there,and we stuck to ourselves.The local's were like gun-totin' redneck's to us.The Mulegata Seraw case had just wrapped up,and the skinhead's were on the run.As a matter of fact,a few of my friend's who dressed like skinhead's got beaten down by protester's.Downtown was cool.Dr.Bill's Learning Center sold wierd book's and needles and curio's on Burnside Street.He had cool book's.There was Ozone record's on 10th and Burnside,which sold zines,shirt's and record's and tapes.There was a store called Local's Only,that sold only locally made record's and book's.There was some cool show's usually,mostly at Satyricon,which was the only punk club.I used to go there because it reminded me of CBGB.There was a metal club on 4th,Eli's,which was,like,poodle central.I remember when I first got here,my friend's told me there was all these mexican drug dealer's downtown.I needed some pot (it was in between harvest's,and no matter how much I begged they would only give me leaf),so I walked around looking.Soon,some guy came up and said,"Chiva?",which mean's heroin in hispanish.I thought he said,"Cheebah",which is what they call weed in New York.So I said,"Yeah!Got 20?",and he spit this balloon in my hand.I was like,what the fuck?My friends had to explain to me it was black tar heroin.I didn't know!The X-Ray cafe' was down Burnside Street toward's the bridge,and I seen some show's there,The Frances Farmer Gal's,and Sissyface and shit like that.When I first arrived,all the band's sounded like Nirvana and The wiper's.Later on,they all sounded like The Pixies.I had just finished drawing Madsoul for WOW COOL,and I was starting the Cometbus all Madness issue at this time.My brother lived out in Saint John's,which was white trash coolness back then.A couple times they had to sleep in the bathtub because of gun fight's outside.It was a fucking bullet festival back then.Kept the rent's down,we figured.The Old Dirty Bastard album just came out.The internet wasn't big yet.It was a really long time ago.

Ever happen upon something special and wish you could tell everyone about it? Or have an informed point of view you would like to share with a larger audience?
Here's your chance. The Paducah Sun is creating a panel of community columnists, and you're invited to apply. We're looking to sign on a diverse group of 10-12 local residents who will write every month or so on any topic they choose.
Brilliant writers will be welcome, but you don't need to be one. What matters more is having a strong connection to this region and a good sense of what people will find worth reading.
Though the columnists will be unpaid, the role will have its rewards. You will become a semi-celebrity (at least to the neighbors). You'll have another bullet point for your resume. More importantly, you will have a voice in the dialogue about things that matter in this part of the country.
If you're interested, send me an email or a letter that says who you are and why you would like to join. I will also need a sample of your writing. Ideally, that would be a column draft in the neighborhood of 500-600 words.
Elected officials and political candidates aren't eligible. Spare me if you want to push a social agenda, grind an ax, or write on a topic that presents a conflict of interest. Columnists will be free to express opinions, but I have no appetite for wandering ruminations that are light on facts or replay tired arguments.
What kind of columns are we looking for?
Many kinds. Tributes that tell us about remarkable people and deeds. Thoughtful pieces related to your occupation. Idea columns that offer a fresh take on a thorny problem. Slice-of-life narratives that reflect on personal experiences.
The latter category is rich with possibilities. A favorite column of mine from my years in Arizona told of a horse race of no special consequence on a 107-degree day at the thoroughbred track in Phoenix.
I had been invited by a friend to see his beautiful bay mare, Daily Market, who had a distinctive pink nose. He didn't think she would win that day because two others in the race had faster times, but he expected she would be close because "there's no quit in her."
Before the race, we walked back to the stables and watched the groom attend to her with unusual care. I noticed a pair of small, banged-up fans sending a breeze toward her â " the only fans I saw in any of the barns. The column ended this way:
"The race was one mile on the turf course. The crowd made Daily Market the third choice at 4-1 behind Miss Pinnacle Peak and Fair and Fabulous.
"She broke alertly and went right for the lead. She ran with fluid ease and held a one-length advantage most of the way until the horses reached the top of the stretch. Then Fair and Fabulous surged on the outside.
"The two thoroughbreds raced head-to-head down the stretch. At one point, Fair and Fabulous edged barely in front, but when Daily Market, wearing green blinkers, saw what was happening, she found more strength and pulled even. She was not going to let another horse pass her. You could sense it.
"They hit the wire in a photo finish. It was not possible to tell who won. The photo showed a separation of just two inches at the finish line. A pink nose had bobbed forward at just the right instant.
"When she entered the winner's circle, I thought about her back in her stall. About the fans making her just a little cooler than the other horses. About groom Javier Meraz sweating in his tack room so she would be more comfortable. About how it's often the smallest detail, the slightest extra effort, separating winners from losers.
"I don't know how much those two small fans cost, but I have a good idea of how much they were worth that hot afternoon:
"One inch apiece."

A couple years ago, I was addicted to sliced avocado on buttered whole wheat toast. I think I ate it for breakfast almost every day for several months straight. Then one Sunday, I decided that it would be the perfect cure for a particularly bothersome hangover I was nursing. I made it. I devoured it. I felt even worse. And so ended the reign of avocado toast in my world of breakfast.
Then last week, I found saw this post on Framed Cooks. Mmmmm. I felt the avocado hunger returning. Since then, all I've been able to think about is avocado + egg + smoked salmon. I even made my boyfriend a smoked salmon and scallion omelette topped with avocado . . . for dinner. Today, I made myself this delightful little number for breakfast. And I endured a grumbling tummy and a lukewarm (but still delicious) end result so that I could show it to all of you!
Poached Eggs, Avocado, & Smoked Salmon on English Muffins
- 2 large eggs
- half of an avocado
- smoked salmon
- cheese, sliced (I used jarlsberg, though I drool thinking about how deliciously decadent this would have been with brie)
- an english muffin
- vinegar (for poaching the eggs)
Remove avocado from its skin and mash it in a small bowl. Add a small squeeze of lemon, if you have one handy (I did not).
Toast the english muffin and top it with cheese, avocado, and smoked salmon.
To poach the eggs:
Begin heating water in a pan over high heat. You want your water to be no more than a couple inches deep (otherwise your egg whites will feather out and separate when you drop the egg into the water). Crack each egg into a separate bowl. When the water is nearing a boil, add 1–2 tbsps of vinegar to the pan (I used white vinegar this time, but I've used apple cider vinegar in the past as well). The vinegar will help hold the egg together, as it makes the whites congeal more rapidly. Once the water and vinegar reaches a boil, reduce to a simmer. Gently slip the eggs into the water, doing your best to do so in one fell swoop (to keep the egg as "together" as possible), then turn off heat entirely. (Some people leave it on simmer for the entire time, but this is what works for me.) Using a spoon, nudge the whites back towards the egg. Cover the pan and let eggs sit for 4 minutes. (I removed the lid after 3 minutes to gently nudge the yolk, to make sure it was still a little soft.) When the yolk is cooked to your liking, gently remove them from the water with a slotted spoon.
Place each egg on top of your english muffin halves. Add salt and pepper to taste, then dig in!

Sinister performance and Intense Racing have extensive experience with the L67/4L60E arrangement. They already have the code to flash my pcm. I'm just trying to sort out as much of the electrical before I dive into this project. I know things will pop up, but I want to have as much in order before I begin. They have answered a lot of my questions, but there is still a lot left. Based upon my conversations with them I am going to use the non-supercharged L36 harness that comes from the F-body. I will have to switch the MAP connector from the L67 harness to the new one. There is still a question mark on the fuel injector connectors. Some say they are different some say they are not. The injectors are clearly different, but does anyone know about the connectors?
More importantly though is a question I have about the gauges. Ultimately I want to try to use the gauge cluster from a firebird, but initially to save time and money I found a way to use a $35 OBD2 wifi transmitter, an Android tablet or phone and an app called Torque to display all of my gauges. It's amazing and trick as hell. My question for you all is do I need the F-body Body Control Module and associated harness to get the gauges to work either with the tablet or the Firebird cluster? I was under the impression all of that data came from the PCM, but think the BCM might be needed for the gauges to interpret the data.

Product Description
Doin' the starfish has never been so easy (or enforced). With 2 bed loops that strap round the top and bottom of any double mattress and 4 adjustable cuffs, spread your lover's limbs for Bikini Bottom action that would make even Patrick blush.
Made from ultra-strong Nylon straps with genuine leather cuffs, this full-body restraint set is durable and reliable for bondage that suits recreational and professional domination.
Unlike many under-mattress restraint sets that sit under your entire mattress, we've kept things simple by making this one a 2-piece kit. Simply separate the 2 sections and fasten one around the top of your mattress, and the other around the bottom by lifting each end in turn. The easy-to-use pull straps enable you to adjust the overall size to fit your bed perfectly.
Once the straps are in place, 4 leather cuffs easily attach to one of two metal O-rings in each corner via a sturdy carabiner clip.
Putting away your restraint set is a doddle. Simply undo the seatbelt-style clasp to release each strap from your mattress and, hey-presto, you're done. Plus, this nifty design means you shouldn't need to adjust the straps for your bed again, making set up and take down seamless for each subsequent use.
Collect the full DOMINIX range to add a professional standard to your BDSM play.
Key Features:
- Under-mattress restraint straps for full-body bondage play
- Adjustable leather wrist and ankle cuffs offer comfortable, reliable restraint
- Wrist cuffs adjust between 5 - 9 inches in circumference via 9 hole buckle fastening.
- Ankle cuffs adjust between 8 - 14 inches in circumference via 13 hole buckle fastening.
- Strong Nylon bed straps adjust to fit any double-size bed
- A choice of 2 O-rings in each corner enable custom positioning
- Easily clips (and unclips) from your mattress for quick set up and take down
- A great alternative to a spreader bar for legs-spread action

DOMINIX Deluxe Adjustable Leather Cuff Under Mattress Set
Get out of that
Reviewed: 09 March 2016 by Bradbyname, a Straight Married Male
For years we've been using makeshift restraints, and I felt it was time to buy something more made for the job rather than having to mess around tying knots.
Most of these products go underneath the mattress from top to bottom. While these products do work, it's possible for them to pull their feet and hands closer together, which can be a bit of a hindrance in the heat of the moment.
This product changes all of that, with the straps going across the mattress rather than down the length of it. This forces them to stay in a starfish position. The extra set of D-rings to clip the cuffs onto is a nice touch, allowing you to go from wide, to wider.
The biggest concern I had was the dainty size of my wife's wrists. She has a knack of being able to slide out of most things which are not Velcro. These, however, she stands no chance of. I had to do them up on the tightest setting for a firm grip around the wrists, but I could have most probably of got away with the second hole to last on the fastening strap.
The only thing I was a little taken back by was the packaging, or lack of. The item came in a clear plastic bag. No box or printed graphics. With these restraints being on the higher end of the price bracket in comparison to the other products available, I would have thought they would have made a little more effort on the packaging. But! This is hardly an issue. Afterall, who sees the box again after it's been used.
The quality of the product is fantastic. All of the stitching is heavy duty, so there's no concerns about broken threads with rough use and finding your new toy unravelling around the edges. The padding under the leather restraints finishes it off quite nicely. If you have used Velcro ones before now you will know how sore your wrists and ankles can become when used for a longer than normal duration.
Yes, as others have mentioned, seeing the big black straps going around your mattress is not exactly covert, nor is it an attractive sight, but as always, where there's will there's a way. I fitted the straps to the mattress and made a couple of small incisions to the bed sheet to slip the D rings through, hiding the straps from view. Yes of course you can still feel the straps under the sheet, but with pillows across the top, and my feet rarely touching the end of the bed, this is a non-problem for us.
Add a little kink to your relationship with this product!
- Pros
- Forced star fish position.
- Cons
- Clear basic packaging.
- Bottom line
- Highly recommended! Very well made, and very effective.

DOMINIX Delight
Reviewed: 28 January 2016 by Shadow Collector
Being a tester for Lovehoney has many perks - the free products, the chance to expand your horizons by trying something you wouldn't normally go for, keeps your writing style sharp - but there are times when something will wow you beyond your expectations, beyond the thrill of being deemed good enough to test. For me, this moment was when I first opened up the plastic DOMINIX and tried on the leather cuffs that came with the set... and they fit!
This sounds absolutely pathetic, right? Well, it's not. I have never had a pair of cuffs fit me that weren't cheap Velcro. Cursed with tiny wrists and ankles, I thought I would have to give up on ever wearing proper leather restraints with dignity and an inability to slide out of them like bangles. All those out there in the same boat rejoice, there is a solution after all!
If the cuffs hadn't already won me over, the restraint system itself would have done so in a heartbeat. I now own three under bed restraint kits, and this one was a welcome addition with its own advantages and disadvantages... Well, a lot more of the former if we're being honest here.
Unique Design - The kit is two separate straps that go around each end of your bed instead of underneath the mattress in the St Andrew's cross style like most. This makes it so much easier to get in place, so spontaneous fun is a viable option.
Choice of rings - Choose your spread: wide or wider! It's nice to have some variety.
Leather - The cuffs are lightly scented and comfortable, a perfect fit and beautifully made.
Comfort - Thanks to the quality of build and the adjustable spread, I found it easier to spend long periods of time in this restraint when compared to my other two.
Clips - As with every bondage situation, it's very important to be able to get out of it quickly. The clips that secure the cuffs to the straps are secure enough that you're not getting out easily... until you need to. Then, just flick the bar and you're good to go (literally!)
Double Bed Only - While the design can be tied creatively to fit a single, it's not designed to do so. Other cross style restraint systems can be tightened to custom fit any style of mattress with no bother, but this one loses some of its charm if you do this.
Bedroom Aesthetics - A silly point, some might argue, but there's something so sexy about seeing somebody bound up without being able to see the restraints. Nothing to distract you from the scene, nothing to break the illusion. The way this is designed, there will always be a thick black line running across the head and foot of your bed. This is by no means a make-or-break point, but I had to fill out the disadvantages section somehow. Compared to the advantages, it looked so bare!
Well, that's it laid out as obviously and clearly as I can... heh.
A quality, wonderful kit that should be a bondage staple for all. A special shout out for thin-wristed folks;This is the one for you! Leather, bondage and complete exposure team up to give us a sexy, sensational set that has become my firm favourite overnight.
- Pros
- See 'Advantages'.
- Cons
- See 'Disadvantages'.
- Bottom line
- Stellar Quality.

Under Quilt Arrest
Reviewed: 07 April 2017 by The_Grim_Seeder, a Gay Single Male
Purchased this restraint set and was very happy with the item.
Firstly, it came discreetly packaged and posted rapidly.
Upon opening I noticed the quality of the ankle and wrist restraints. No one is ripping their way out of these or escaping. The stitching and leather are of great quality, and the buckles too are also important in being good quality.
I put this item onto my double bed no problems. There are two straps, which are adjustable, top and bottom of bed. It maybe wise to seek help in lifting the mattress - it makes for easier, quicker and safer assembly.
I have got round the visual shielding of my straps and harness clips by using a linen bed sheet and slitting holes in line with the straps. It is not uncomfortable to sleep with the straps in place with ankle and wrist restraints removed. The carabenas that attach to the straps can also be moved to different positions attached to rings along the straps offering more positions for restraining.
These have had some use now and are excellent and have stood the time of pleasure!
Spending money on bed restraints? You won't go wrong with these. They look the part and have stood the test of time with my partners.
Improving the bed restraints just requires the addition of more chains and maybe carabenas for acrobatic posture manoeuvring and restraining. I will leave that up to your imaginations! DOMINIX range is fabulous in design and practicality and quality.
I don't buy anything else.DOMINIX for me is perfect! The price is also good. They also look the part two adding to a professional look to your bedroom/boudoir!
- Pros
- Quality, ease of putting together, design, comfortableness.
- Cons
- Maybe little more length on chains on ankle/wrist restraints.
- Bottom line
- Great kit for bed restraints. You won't have to buy again!

Venetia's was a symbol of demographic change when it first opened in 2006, as one of Chatsworth Road's first independent cafés focusing on well-considered local ingredients. Its pleasant, artsy interior – scuffed wooden floors, white wood-panelled walls and goldfish tank – may now look a bit old-hat compared to newer, hipper premises nearby (such as Shane's and Creperie Du Monde), but its reputation as a place to enjoy excellent coffee remains. The flat white and latte we enjoyed on a Sunday morning visit were perfectly made.
The food was less notable, with a menu of mainly toast- or pastry-based breakfasts and a large selection of sandwiches. Halloumi, houmous and red pepper sandwich would have been more appetising had the halloumi been grilled (as stated) and the ciabatta not been a little tired. Alternatively, you might plump for a BLT or a classic ham, emmental and mustard; or, for a healthier choice, try one of the freshly made vegetable juices. The menu may not be especially exciting, but Venetia's remains a stalwart on the street, thanks to its community noticeboard, shows of local artists, free Wi-Fi and the sizeable terrace at the back.

Fab place, and run by such a nice couple too
I always come here for a coffee when I'm visiting my friends who live in the area. It's the nicest coffee shop in the hood by a mile. They do really nice sandwiches such as ham and cheese and great soup. The staff are very friendly and helpful whenever I've been in here and they always have a good selection of newspapers like the Guardian or The Times.

HAM HELP at Courage Classic Bike Tour

HAM HELP at Courage Classic Bike Tour
As some of you know, my wife is in charge of The Courage Classic Bike Tour in Summit County. Typically the tour starts and ends in Leadville over three days.
The tour directors and staff communicate via Ham radio, set up by experienced ham operators who volunteer to ride with the tour directors and set up repeaters, etc. Due to Leadville high school being renovated this year, the entire tour is running out of Copper Mountain and is forcing two separate rides on Saturday, one around the copper triangle, and the other going to the top of Ute pass. Because of the two separate rides on Saturday, she is short about five ham volunteers this year to handle the two separate routes.
If any of the more experienced ham operators would like to volunteer, there is lodging provided in Copper Mountain Fri and Sat night, July 19th and 20th. I believe the lodging is somewhat dorm style, but it is right in the heart of Copper Mountain.
Here are the requirements passed along by one of the hams that volunteers every year:
· 50 watt radio
· 2 meters
· Apers for mobile
· HT portable hand radio
· GPS modem /computer laptop
· Another 50 watt if they do the GPS modem
This stuff doesn't really mean much to me, since I am not yet a ham operator, but is probably simple stuff? Volunteers will also get all meals free and a tour t-shirt.
If anyone is interested in spending an early Saturday morning and afternoon volunteering at the tour, PM me. I can get more info if necessary.
Thank you!

It's the oldest story in the book, boy meets girl......wait that's the wrong story. This was a case of boy meets boy and falls in love. Well we aren't exactly boys but no need to give away our age. We've both traveled extensively in our younger years and between the two of us we've been to almost every Continent.
On our first vacation together we came to Puerto Vallarta and fell in love with the place. After that we traveled to other places but we keep comparing them to our quaint little fishing village by the bay. Hawaii was beautiful, Miami was fun, etc etc but whenever we returned here there was always this warm fuzzy feeling of finding love all over again.
After our 8th visit in 5 years I said to Mike in the taxi on our way to our hotel, "I feel like we've come home." He looked back at me and said, "We have." We immediately set about looking to buy a place and call it our home, welcome to "Villa Polygon Vallarta"
So about the name, Hi I'm Richard Gonzalez and my husband Michael Polychroniou. I'm ½ Cuban and ½ Spainard. Mike is all Greek. We live and work in San Francisco and our home there we've always laughingly referred to as "Casa Polygon" obviously a play on our last names. Whenever we are just hanging out at home we jokingly tell our friends we are at Casa Polygon, so we had to come up with a name for our Pied-d-terre in PV and Villa Polygon just wasn't enough so Villa Polygon Vallarta was it!
Richard Gonzalez or Mike Polychroniou purchased this condo in 2012
Location, Location, Location! Boutique luxury building in a really terrific safe location. One block to restaurants, galleries, shops and bars and only 2 blocks to Los Muertos Beach with no hills to climb. We knew it had to be in the Romantic Zone or very near by and after looking around there was no doubt in our mind because of location and the great amenities.
We love it here and if this is your first time visiting I'm sure you'll fall in love with this charming place. If your returning it's because you already have. We hope you will enjoy our home for the duration of your stay, as they say "Mi casa es su casa". Please take good care of her and we hope that you will become repeat friends coming back to visit Villa Polygon Vallarta year after year.
Our unit is in the North East corner with an exterior view 3 floors up. We get lots of light both through the Kitchen/Dining area Window with a view of the surrounding mountains and the balcony off the master. This unique location in the building makes the apartment particularly private with wonderful cross breezes.
Richard and Mike were trusted hosts. Every promise was kept and more added. The building is clean and very well looked after. The unit we rented had all the modern appliances and was truly a home away from home. Thank you Richard and Mike and we look forward to our return.
We love this condo and the people in the building. I also like knowing the building is secure. The rooftop pool and its surrounding areas are a great places to meet friends.
We love staying at this condo. The kitchen is fully stocked, the washer and dryer were much needed and used. when we arrived, David the property manager greeted us and helped us with everything that we needed. This was one of our best vacations we have ever had. Thank you for making it the best.
For my wife and myself, what is most important when traveling abroad is to know that where we are staying is safe and hassle free. To start with, the security in Villa Polygon is top notch. There is security at the front entrance 24/7. The building has one way in and out. You must scan your door card in order to enter or leave. If one brings a guest over for a visit, the guest must be signed in and then signed out when they leave. This is a very secure place.
As other reviewers have stated, the condo owners, Mike and Richard, are absolutely on the ball with responding to any inquiries. It doesn't matter if it's before your stay, during your stay or after your stay. For example, I was working night shift and sent them an email at 3:30 am and had an email back within five minutes! I think the longest time it took to get a response back was fifteen minutes and that was only because they were at a major motion picture release. Enough said!
David from Palmera Vacations is the Chief Concierge for the condo. Absolutely amazing! Any issues were addressed quickly and efficiently. The only worries we had were when to wake up or when to go to the roof top pool.
Lastly, Claudia is the house keeper that comes in once a week to do the cleaning. She is also awesome.
Thanks so much Mike and Richard. We can't wait to come back.
Steve and Nici
Where to start?!?
We've just returned from a two week stay........and we had a blast!
The location is ideal, in the heart of Vallarta's Zona Romantica. You walk out of the door and within seconds have an array of shops, restaurants and bars to choose from. It's only a short walk from Los Muertos Beach where there are plenty of great beach clubs to spend lazy days!
The condo itself is beautiful. Exactly like the photos! Bright, airy, clean, comfortable and exceptionally well appointed for a rental property. There are more cooking gadgets here than in our house haha!
The rooftop area is great with lovely views and comfortable seating areas. The pool is heated and there are a couple of hot tubs too. It was never that busy when we were there and quite often we had the entire rooftop to ourselves! The staff keep the area spotlessly clean and well maintained.
Richard and Mike were terrific hosts. Attentive and exceptionally quick to respond to questions.
Our first time staying in a condo in Vallarta vs all inclusive, and we would highly recommend it!
We will be back!
Heartfelt thanks once again to Richard and Mike for giving us the opportunity to experience this wonderful place!
Darren & Philip
Richard and Mike always responded to emails quickly and were helpful with suggestions for our trip. The property manager was also super helpful. Condo had great views, especially from the rooftop! Was clean and comfortable, had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, and more. Location is great, complex is very secure. Would definitely stay again!
The condo is beautiful. The listing is accurate regarding location, layout, and amenities including the photographs shown on the website. The condo tastefully and comfortably furnished (the bed is very comfortable), thoughtfully and thoroughly stocked with kitchen equipment and supplies, laundry supplies and very nice linens - even a first aid kit is provided! The condo was immaculately clean , well maintained and organized. It was so nice to have the free WIFI. Richard and Mike provided outstanding customer service and stayed in contact with us. They responded quickly to any questions we had and were always friendly and pleasant.
We would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives.
In addition to the condo being outstanding the building in which it is located is very well maintained, clean, secure and staffed by professional, friendly people.
Zona Romantico, Romantic Zone, Los Muertos Beach
In the heart of Old Town / Zona Romantica yet on a quiet street just a block off the main street Basillo Badillo with great restaurants and shops. Any easy 2 block walk to the beach with no hills to climb you can't beat the location.

Vitamin D 3 Pack Combo with a free bottle of Vitamin Chewables
Vitamin D is a very useful vitamin. Vitamin D3, specifically, is absorbed by humans by sun exposure. The exposure of vitamin D on the skin through UBV or ultraviolet B synthesizes the vitamin. Sadly, during the winter months, the sub is not as prominent and therefore, the synthesis of Vitamin D3 becomes inhibited, resulting to deficiency. That means it is important to take advantage of the Vitamin D products such as the Vitamin D 3 pack combo, a perfect solution for people who want to improve their quality of life with the help of natural, high quality vitamin D products from Gold Crown Natural products.
Vitamin D products in the form of cholecalciferol are very useful vitamin supplements that have numerous benefits. Here are some things you have to know about the potency and scientific facts regarding vitamin D products:
Vitamin D products are helpful in the proper maintenance of the calcium levels in your body. The blood calcium levels in particular should be in the optimum levels since this is ideal for the proper functioning of the nervous system and the growth and maintenance of your bone density. Vitamin D products are crucial so that you can effectively utilize calcium in your body.
Vitamin D products are also very useful for cellular differentiation. This process is necessary to create cells that handle specific tasks across the body. With cellular differentiation, there is a lower chance of proliferation. The latter part is extremely potent for wound healing but if not controlled, the cells can mutate and this could lead to big issues such as cancers. With Vitamin D products, the cells will be regulated and proliferate only as needed and ensure that the cells are differentiated to do more important bodily processes.
Vitamin D products are very potent immunity booster. There are numerous scientific studies that provide verifiable information regarding the effects of vitamin D supplements to immune response. In fact, studies are also being done to check the effects of vitamin D products to prevent autoimmunity.
As of now, the recommended dietary allowance is at 600IU only. According to widespread studies, this amount is not sufficient for optimum maintenance of the body. This could lead to deficiency. Lack of Vitamin D products can lead to many diseases such as osteoporosis (calcium is not effectively absorbed in the body), cancers (cellular proliferation becomes chaotic leading to cellular mutations), Alzheimer's disease (much more related to poor bone density due to patients being kept at home) and various autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple sclerosis and diabetes (studies have shown that vitamin D products do have an effect to the secretion of insulin, vital for the synthesis of various compounds).
According to various scientists, it is ideal to increase the intake of their Vitamin D products from 1000 and up. The Vitamin D 3-pack combo offered but Gold Crown Natural Products is at 2000 IU, sufficient enough for the daily dietary needs of person especially if he or she does not get the necessary nutritional benefits of vitamin D. Gold Crown National Products Recommends that each adult should have at least 2000 IU of this vitamin every day. As the person ages, the less Vitamin D products are synthesized so it is ideal that for elderly people, at least 5000 IU of Vitamin D products to sustain the proper functioning of cells and other bodily processes.
The Vitamin d 2000 I U is ideal for most young adults who live active lives. They synthesize vitamin D3 from sun exposure. With added vitamin D products, it is possible to sustain enough of this important vitamin for the proper regulation of the body. People who are overweight or beyond 180lbs should ask their doctors regarding how much Vitamin D products they should get for their needs. Often times, these people require higher levels. It is highly advised that individuals get recommendations from a physician regarding how much Vitamin d 2000 I U they should get to sustain a healthier body.
This Vitamin d 2000 I U from Gold Crown Natural products is a very potent product because it has additional benefits to consumers. This vitamin D products combo contains soybean oil, a widely used product that has added nutritional benefits. It contains essential fatty acids like Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids necessary to regulate the body from inflammations caused by conditions like arthritis, heart disease and problems on the brain or mental conditions. Soybean oil contains Alpha-linoleic acid which helps in minimizing triglycerides and they can also help in regulating reproductive processes and the quality of bones and skin.
Soybean oil also contains vitamin E and Phytosterols. Vitamin E assists in blood clotting and the production of red blood cells. It also keeps the arterial lining and the veins in good condition. Phytosterols are very useful since they have antioxidants that can protect the body against free radicals that speeds up aging process and increases the risks of cancers.
The Vitamin D 3-pack combo is an all natural and reliable vitamin D products supplement that does not contain any form of allergens like tree nuts, peanut, fish, milk and wheat. It comes in a soft gel form and contains Vitamin d 2000 I U. One soft gel of this Vitamin D products set is advised a day to get the optimum dietary benefits of this product. It is highly advised to take meals that are low fiber with considerable fat content for optimum absorption. Vitamin D products have very low to no toxicity levels at 2000 IU to 10,000. For people with hypercalcemia, it is advised not to take Vitamin D products. If you have any health conditions such as kidney disease and you are taking various medications, it is highly advised to talk to a doctor before taking in vitamin D products.
Vitamin D 3-pack combo is the best deal that you can find right now for high quality Vitamin D products.

Ironically, there is a thread speaking about Paula Deen's "n" word comment. I think that, in collaboration with this topic, it makes a further valid point of why
should say it. Who knows her reasoning, but my point is, we can't get mad when a non-black person uses that word, yet the "n" word is used perdominately in a specific race. It shows lack of respect.
The other day, I was speaking to my friend who was venting to me about some drama in her life concerning her boyfriend. She is biracial, like me, and her boyfriend is black. She kept calling him a n***
. I then proceeded to tell her about this exact thread and what we are all discussing. To me, it was a perfect example of someone, who if they were to have been called the "n" word, would have been angry, yet when
was angry, she was able to drop the "n" word like it was saying 'hello.'
This thread helped me examine her thought process/beliefs on using the word. So I thank everyone for this great discussion.

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Q-See 8-Channel 8-Camera Security System with 1TB HDD D1 DVR:
Rarely am I this blown away by a product! To begin with, it isn't exactly easy to install. Be prepared for some planning and drilling, since the cameras are all wired, but it is all worth it. The DVR is nearly silent, so you can place it just about anywhere. I used an old computer monitor with it, but it has an HDMI output, so you could just connect it to your TV. After setting that up (which is super easy), you need to mount the cameras. The tilt, pan and zoom camera is amazing. Once you mount it, you can control it even with the smartphone apps (I used the iPhone one). The other cameras mount in a fixed position, so I put the PTZ in the center of my main living area, placing the fixed ones down the hall, and one outside facing the driveway (yes they're weatherproof!). After setting up the system, I decided to play with the clarity and night vision. If you've seen Ghost Hunters, you know what you're working with. What amazed me was the clarity of the night vision. I wrote "can you read this?" on a piece of paper and placed it on the table about 15 feet from the main camera. I turned off the lights, and I could read it easily in the complete darkness!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

LA County Social Worker Strike
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Union officials say about 4,000 children's social workers for
Workers took to the picket lines Thursday in the first county strike in more than a decade. The strike was called Wednesday night by the Service Employees International Union Local 721. The union represents more than 55,000 county employees who have been working without a contract for more than two months.
The Los Angeles Times reports the two main obstacles in contractnegotiations are caseloads for social workers and the timing of a pay raise.

Bearing damage analysis by calculation of capacitive coupling between inner and outer races of a ball bearing
Adabi Firouzjaee, Jafar, Zare, Firuz, Ledwich, Gerard, Ghosh, Arindam, & Lorenz, Robert (2008) Bearing damage analysis by calculation of capacitive coupling between inner and outer races of a ball bearing. In Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference, 2008. EPE-PEMC 2008. 13th, IEEE, Poland, pp. 903-907.

Bearing damage in modern inverter-fed AC drive systems is more common than in motors working with 50 or 60 Hz power supply. Fast switching transients and common mode voltage generated by a PWM inverter cause unwanted shaft voltage and resultant bearing currents. Parasitic capacitive coupling creates a path to discharge current in rotors and bearings. In order to analyze bearing current discharges and their effect on bearing damage under different conditions, calculation of the capacitive coupling between the outer and inner races is needed. During motor operation, the distances between the balls and races may change the capacitance values. Due to changing of the thickness and spatial distribution of the lubricating grease, this capacitance does not have a constant value and is known to change with speed and load. Thus, the resultant electric field between the races and balls varies with motor speed. The lubricating grease in the ball bearing cannot withstand high voltages and a short circuit through the lubricated grease can occur. At low speeds, because of gravity, balls and shaft voltage may shift down and the system (ball positions and shaft) will be asymmetric. In this study, two different asymmetric cases (asymmetric ball position, asymmetric shaft position) are analyzed and the results are compared with the symmetric case. The objective of this paper is to calculate the capacitive coupling and electric fields between the outer and inner races and the balls at different motor speeds in symmetrical and asymmetrical shaft and balls positions. The analysis is carried out using finite element simulations to determine the conditions which will increase the probability of high rates of bearing failure due to current discharges through the balls and races.

Revenue for MEMS sensors and actuators used in consumer electronics and mobile handsets is projected to reach $1.5 billion in 2010, up a solid 22.9 percent from $1.3 billion last year. "Unlike most industries, the consumer and mobile MEMS market did not suffer a decline last year—even at the height of the global economic downturn—and growth ranging from 17 percent to as much as 28 percent will continue during the next four years," said Jérémie Bouchaud, principal analyst for MEMS and sensors at iSuppli.
MEMS sensors and actuators are employed in a variety of additional sectors, including data processing—e.g., printers, projectors, copy machines—automotive, and other high-value markets embracing the industrial, medical, wired communications and aerospace-defense segments.
Nonetheless, consumer and mobile MEMS—already among the largest MEMS markets—are projected to become the biggest MEMS space by 2014. Here, sensors find their way into everyday devices such as laptops, MP3 players, remote controllers and portable navigation devices.
In particular, new consumer products will drive existing and future opportunities, iSuppli believes. The MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes used for e-books and slate tablets like the iPad from Apple Inc will amount to $105 million in 2014, compared to an almost negligible $3 million in 2009.
Also helping spur expansion of the consumer and mobile MEMS market are various new emerging devices coming into fruition in 2010 and 2011. Among them are 3-axis gyroscopes, pico-projectors, and RF MEMS switches and varactors, iSuppli data show. All told, new MEMS devices will bring an additional $1.3 billion by 2014, up from a mere $33 million in 2009.
Cell phones, however, remain the dominant segment for consumer and mobile MEMS. In 2010, MEMS sensors and actuators in mobile handsets are forecasted to reach $821.4 million, making up 53.1 percent—well over half—of the market.
Cell phones will continue to be the largest user of consumer and mobile MEMS over the next few years, ahead of consumer projectors, laptops and hard disc drives, game controllers and digital still cameras.
Accelerometers remain the chief MEMS device, netting $557.1 million in revenue for 2010. While their use in gaming controllers and cell phones has either reached saturation or is close to doing so, accelerometers will increase their penetration in laptops and netbooks, and are sure to gain greater exposure in booming categories like e-books and slate tablets.
Other MEMS devices finishing strongly this year, in descending order, are gyroscopes, BAW filters, microphones and MEMS-based displays for projectors.
By 2014, MEMS displays will leap into third place, pushing microphones and BAW filters into the fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
