Guest Reviews
favorite experiences in Bali.
By far one of my favorite experiences in Bali!! The trail was both beautiful and challenging and the tour guide was very patient - especially considering it was my first time on an ATV. Would definitely recommend this excursion!
Adventure ATV ride
The ride is full of adventure, something out of my expectation. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants great fun!
Great day out.
A really terrific day out and the staff were only too happy to help you out to ensure you enjoyed the day. We went for the ATV Ride, Underwater walk and the massage at the end. After the ride and walk the massage was so good. Well worth the cost and highly recommend.

afaik it's not a problem, but I'm not sure
are metal detectors hazardous to laptops?
afaik it's not a problem, but I'm not sure
I've gone too far and need to move on!
I'm no metal-detector guru or anything like that.
I do believe that the technology utilized by such devices is basically a magnetic field.
Am I correct?
If so, I would have to assume, that the generation of such a field would be potentially harmful to sensitive electronic devices that might happen to be a bit too near.
It's just a guess, but hey, it sounded almost like an educated guess, didn't it
The reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.
Walkthroughs, no. The x-ray machines, yes.
If you are talking about an airport or something. They make you take it out and turn it on prior to walking through the medal detector, your bag then goes through, and your laptop does not go through the x-ray machine.
Otherwise your information might go
ooooh, my bad :(
I was thinking of the type of unit that treasure hunters use.
Guess maybe I should get out and travel more, huh?
The reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.
If a treasure hunter finds a laptop buried in the ground, I think the effects of the metal detector will be the least of your worries. :rofl:
Nop as it is metal detector...
Aamy Bush
Minelab Explorer
If it's going through those x-ray scanners then yes. Both my sister and cousin lost their dvd-rw drives like that.
Nothing is impossible... Just mathematically improbable..

Miista reviews: Blonde by Frank Ocean.
God, I missed you Frank. Every time I hear "Lost," I see myself jogging in Miami where I lived at the time. Fresh out of college and definitely lost in thrill of it all.
But it was 4 years ago. I'm a different person now and so is Frank Ocean. Here's what he recently shared on his Tumblr account as a teaser od his upcoming album Blonde:
"Boys do cry, but I don't think I shed a tear for a good chunk of my teenage years. It's surprisingly my favourite part of life so far. Surprising, to me, because the current phase is what I was asking the cosmos for when I was a kid."
Whereas Channel Orange covered controversial topics on drugs, pimps and modern ideas of representing the race, this time around Frank is an artist who is focusing on himself and favourite part of his life: teenage days. I felt in love right away with the second tune on the album "Ivy". This adorable number depicts his personal issues that have been on his mind, his failed relationship from the past. Releasing his inner demons he created one of the album's most touching moments.
Although his recent work is less focused on what's happening outside Ocean's head, he has never been one to back away from controversial topics. "Nikes" the album's stunning opening song and sole single, addresses the Trayvon Martin case:
An innocent kid brutally shot on the streets of Miami. The teenager went to a convenience store and purchased candy and a canned drink. He walked through a neighborhood that had been victimized by robberies several times that year. Moments after he was spotted by a neighbourhood watch volunteer and shot lorida teen was shot and killed with Skittles in his pocket.
Blonde features original songs most of which Ocean wrote himself. It takes a brilliant craftsman of a singer-songwriter to make a good record out of tunes stripped down just to his voice and words. You could say it focuses on a typical concern, recovering from heartbreak, but in his hands it ends up being en elevated message. A powerful one. More reflective album than his previous work suggests that he has matured over time.
"I'm not brave!" he shouts on "Siegfried" as if responding beforehand to those stating he did not live up to the hype. I think what he did with this album is actually quite ballsy. It's an amazing piece of music that takes repeated listens to be appreciated. Why rush, anyways? It will only disappoints people wanting an immediate joy from it. Although I must confess, I cried immediately the very first time I heard Ivy.
Very strong albums have been dropped since Frank's Orange. Yet with this quiet and powerful release of Blonde he did not lose his importance among the music leaders. What happened is, after his two first albums you couldn't place him nowhere on the music scene, this one finally draws a line. On one side I see Kanye, Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar with their strong, loud and unapologetic work. On the other one we have Kid Cudi, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean.
I already know which side I'm on:
Just swing by 67 Redchurch street to find out what music we're blasting from our Miista store!

As a student, I love when things I learn in school become relevant in the real world. I'm happy to say that I am able to apply the things I learned in class multiple times a day. The course content I think most often of is from the equity and social justice class I took last semester. That class opened my eyes to so many things: the concept of privilege, the difference between equity and equality, various equity lenses, and how to take action when issues of inequity arise. I learned the importance of raising awareness about inequities. People fear what they don't understand, and you can't support a cause without knowing what it is.
Today I saw awareness of a cause raised in such a powerful way that I immediately opened a Google Doc and started writing this post. The awareness came from Tyler Oakley's latest YouTube video: 'Flirting in Sign Language' with guest Nyle DiMarco. Nyle won America's Next Top Model, and is currently on Dancing With The Stars. He is deaf, and in the video he teaches Tyler how to communicate using sign language.
It was already awesome enough to see Tyler, who close captions all of his videos because he believes accessibility is important, so eager to learn sign language: and the positivity of the video didn't stop there. Towards the end of the video, Tyler and Nyle introduce Nyle's DoSomething.Org campaign which aims to "fight the stigma against disability". By visiting this website, you can print out a template to share your best ability with the world. They have created the hashtag #WeAreAble to start a social media movement as well (yay for 21st century social justice!)
"I believe everyone should have access so that way they have equal opportunities in everything." – Nyle DiMarco
Everyone has a best ability, and I love that this video and campaign promote that. I can't remember exactly what inspired me to start doing this, but I strive to say "differently abled" instead of disabled. No one is lacking in ability – they just have a different ability. Unfortunately, in our society, there is still a stigma towards different physical and mental abilities. The thing is, though, that ability is a range. Everyone is different, and there is no "normal" ability. There's just your ability, and that's the only one that should matter.
The fact that Tyler Oakley and Nyle DiMarco are spreading the word about this is so amazing. Like I mentioned earlier, I truly believe that raising awareness is the first step towards creating positive change. The next step is acting on the positive changes that you are now aware of – and the #WeAreAble campaign is a great way to start on this.
The campaign is also really empowering: even if you feel that you are privileged in the way of ability, you still have a best ability to share with the world. I think my best ability is being positive, and I am positive that this is a campaign that could make a big difference in erasing the stigma around different abilities. What's your best ability?

Living life and all our experiences is often more amazing and unbelievable
than a work of fiction could ever be.
Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die.

Major performance improvements for Paradise's modem carrier overlap technology
April 21, 2017
Our carrier overlap technology, Paired Carrier, which was first introduced in 2009, has been re-engineered from the ground up in order to significantly boost performance across the board. In fact, due to the far-reaching nature of the improvements, we've renamed the second generation of this technology to Paired Carrier+ to differentiate it from its predecessor.
Carrier overlap technology works by transmitting both the outbound and inbound carriers on overlapping satellite transponder frequencies and then using echo cancellation techniques to remove the interference caused by the unwanted carrier, leaving just the wanted carrier. Typical bandwidth savings are between 40% and 50%.
The improvements include significant additional levels of suppression of the unwanted signal, resulting in much lower residual interference to the wanted signal, and improved BER performance. The acquisition process is now much faster, with the potential for false locks being virtually eliminated. Robustness in terms of maintaining carrier lock in the presence of unexpected signal degradation has been increased. Cancellation bandwidth has been increased to cover a whole 72MHz transponder, allowing up to around 700Mbps to be supported on one transponder when using our highly bandwidth-efficient DVB-S2/S2X.
Director of Engineering, Colin Mackay, commented: 'The great thing about carrier overlap technology is that it brings a precise, guaranteed bandwidth saving 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making the business case for users in terms of return on investment compelling. So the decision to bring the benefits of the very latest signal processing techniques to our users was simple and ensures we continue to offer an extremely competitive and attractive carrier overlap solution.'
Paired Carrier+ is being rolled out to all of our modem products over the next few weeks.

Eyebrows are one of the most important facial features to most people as they frame the face. In recent years we have seen the eyebrow trend change dramatically, going from thin, over-plucked brows too much fuller, thicker, and defined brows.
With the current obsession to have a full, bold brow we've had an increase in the number of questions regarding eyebrow restoration. Today we're going to look into the different eyebrow restoration treatments we offer at the Harley Street Hair Clinic and help you decide what treatment is right for you.
What is eyebrow restoration?
In many ways, eyebrows restoration treatment is similar to hair restoration. Eyebrow restoration treatment is when a treatment is used to restore the appearance of your eyebrows. This can be done with a number of different techniques and is used on those who have little to no eyebrows, or those who want to create fuller, more defined eyebrows.
What types of treatments are available?
As with hair restoration, there are a variety of different treatments on offer to help restore your eyebrows. At the Harley Street Hair Clinic, we offer two amazing treatments that are perfect for eyebrow restoration both an eyebrow transplant and advanced tricho pigmentation can be the perfect solution.
What is an eyebrow transplant?
FUE eyebrow restoration is similar to a hair transplant. Hair is transplanted from an area of the scalp and transplanted to the brow area. This is done with the revolutionary follicular unit extraction method, which has minimal recovery time and leaves minimal scarring.
The individual hair follicles are extracted from the back of the scalp, the follicles are then prepared under a microscope. The donor hair is then inserted into thinning areas of the eyebrow, or around the whole brow area to create natural looking eyebrows. Each follicle is inserted to the brow area at an angle and density to create the most natural looking eyebrows possible.
What is advanced tricho pigmentation for eyebrows?
Advanced tricho pigmentation is an advanced pigmentation delivery system that can be used on both the scalp and brow area to replicate the appearance of a closely shaven head on the scalp and natural hair strokes on the brow area.
Advanced Tricho pigmentation is offered exclusively at the Harley Street Hair Clinic and our system has been crafted from the ground up with the sole purpose of mimicking hair, unlike other medical tattoos that have simply been adapted to create the appearance of hair. Our advanced treatment and specialised doctors work together to create the most natural looking hair strokes possible, resulting in a natural looking eyebrows.
Our ATP procedure can work to build upon thin eyebrows and eyebrows with gaps to create a much fuller and more defined look. It can also be used to help those with little to no eyebrows to create a natural looking eyebrow.
Is eyebrow restoration a permanent solution?
At the Harley Street Hair Clinic, we can offer both permanent and semi-permanent eyebrow restoration solutions. Our eyebrow transplants are a permanent solution and its great for those who want a natural looking eyebrow that will result in almost no upkeep. Our advanced tricho pigmentation procedure can be adapted to offer either semi-permanent or permanent results. This allows our clients to the exact treatment they want.
If you have any questions about any of our eyebrow restoration treatments please feel free to contact us for a no obligation consultation. During your consultation, one of our hair loss specialists will be able to work with you on picking the perfect treatment.

In CRAFT, Writers Reflect on an Aspect of Craft in Their Stories
By Laura Spence-Ash
CRAFT is an online literary journal which launched in October, 2017. We publish fiction, craft essays, interviews and more, always through the lens of craft. We are interested in exploring the art of fiction, in learning how to make a good story great.
When we began thinking about CRAFT, one of our first ideas was to ask each author to write something about the craft in their story. As lovers of craft, and as lovers of reading about craft, we wanted a way to showcase the craft in the story and provide an opportunity for the writer to discuss it. We realized that there aren't many outlets for authors to write about their own work in such a specific way. Interviews and Q and A's often touch on some elements of craft, but they're driven by the interviewer, not by the writer themselves. Often, too, in interviews, the writer is asked more generally about their work, and not about a specific piece. (That said, The New Yorker's weekly interviews with the authors of their short fiction are great; One Story also interviews each of their authors about the story that they've published.)
What we didn't expect, though, is how wonderful these craft pieces are, and what a lovely complement they are to each story and to our project as a whole. As each Author's Talk comes in, we read it and then we immediately reread the story, because we have learned a new way of looking at the piece. As so many of our writers are teachers as well, the pieces are often craft lessons, where the writer takes an element of craft in their work and then shows the reader the broader implications.
The first story we published was "A Slim Blade of Air" by Alice Elliott Dark. Dark is a professor in the Rutgers-Newark MFA program, where she teaches a beloved craft class. Dark received her MFA in poetry, and then switched to fiction. She taught herself how to write fiction—among others, writing "In the Gloaming," which Updike named as one of the top 100 stories of the 20th century—she passes those hard-earned lessons on to the lucky students in her classes. You can see that sense of discovery in her Author's Note for CRAFT where she focuses, in part, on the use of the flash forward:
"Flash forwards can enhance tension by offering a respite from it and reassuring the reader that there is life beyond the harrowing moment at hand. They go beyond the scope of a story but abide by its constructed rules. In a story such as this one, which is narrated but also contains a close third person point of view from a child's perspective, the flash forward directly accesses an adult sensibility that adds authority and makes the report of what happened more reliable via its observable connection to later life. It modifies the fairy tale conclusion of 'happily ever after' —a form of flash forward—to suggest growth and substance."
In Megan Cummins' Author's Note on "The Beast," she discusses how she worked through various endings before coming up with the one that she felt served the story best. Cummins is the Managing Editor at A Public Space, and you can see the way her editor's brain takes each possible ending and thinks about it in an analytical and objective way: "But this was too drastic a redirection. It was an ending that shocked the rest of the story into oblivion. A nuclear ending. Pass." It's a marvelous lesson for anyone in the revision process and for anyone who struggles with endings.
Kate Petersen, a former Stegner fellow who teaches creative writing at Stanford, writes about the choice of the point-of-view in her thoughts about her story "Singles:"
"When my fiction students and I talk about point of view, we brainstorm the risks and rewards of each strategy. In third-person limited, a story with access to only one heart and mind but in which that access is full and unfettered, the word intimacy always comes up among rewards. Conversely, one of the rewards available with multiple points of view or omniscience might be called hyper-verisimilitude: in these modes, fiction approaches the upper limits of its promise to take on the shape of real life, in which all these different minds, by accident of belonging to a social species, have been plopped in the same place, set a-spin."
We always leave it open to the author to write about whatever is of most interest to them. Some of our writers talk about the origin of the story. Elizabeth Gaffney writes about how an encounter with a woman in a train station in Paris formed an original impulse for her story "The Station." Jonathan Durbin considers how he had been reading feminist takes on the legend of Bluebeard before writing his story "Isn't It Big? Isn't It Nice?": "On an emotional level, it prompted me to consider marriage as a kind of loss, both of individual identity and as a fracturing of the trust and sense of possibility that exists between old friends." Both Clare Beams and Matthew Lansburgh write about competing storylines in their Author's Notes on "The Renaissance Person's Tournament" and "The Lure," respectively.
Bret Anthony Johnston writes about working on "Half of What Atlee Rouse Knows About Horses" for years: "With each new vignette, I would print the story and lay it out on my office floor, rearranging the sections in a way that seemed most likely to engage and reward the reader." Michael Sheehan considers setting and place for his story "Cathedral," reflecting on critical work by Cynthia Neely and "The Swimmer" by John Cheever. Melissa Yancy writes about her uneasiness in opening her story, "Dog Years," in a big box store. And Megan Giddings reflects on the use of narrative time in her story "Vacations."
And more and more and more. As our fiction library grows, so will our library of connected Author's Notes, written by some of our favorite writers and new voices as well. We've collected some of the craft advice to date in a craft talk entitled "Author's Notes," and we will continue to find ways to highlight some of the great craft lessons to be learned from our writers.
But our best advice? Settle in, and read each story, followed by its accompanying Author's Note. And don't be surprised if you then go back and read the story again, with the insight into the craft of the story making the story new and providing craft advice that you can apply to your own work.
Laura Spence-Ash serves as Editor-in-Chief of CRAFT and Editor-at-Large for The Masters Review. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in One Story, New England Review, The Scofield and elsewhere. Her book reviews have been published in the Ploughshares blog, The Masters Review, and the National Book Critics Circle blog. Currently working on a collection of linked stories and a novel, Laura received her MFA in Fiction from Rutgers-Newark.

Ack! I winced to see you TRANSCRIBING THE SPACE SHOW! I hope you got permission from the good Doctor.
I agree with you on the telepresence argument, as long as you have lots of spare parts and make your robots completely modular, or simply disposable. Although a bit of an engineering challenge, it seems like a good investment to make.
Since you are enthusiastic on "Humans to Mars", can you address the concern I have about colonizing Mars' surface when it has not been established if there is no Mars life? Zubrin seems content to squashing such life forms as we on Earth would squash a bacteria on the sidewalk. What does your "in character" persona have to say about it?
- B John - August 18, 2015
Like David, I know more about finance than about engineering, and the bottom line of that report is lunatic already at the first glance. What really worries me are the many prominent spacemen participated in the "independent review team" according to appendix B. They should have advised about the problem with the fuel economy part of the report. It would have been much better if that stuff was simply left out. Charles Miller obviously asked them and they all said it was okay. They fooled him.
I'm disappointed that Dr. Spudis devalues his name by talking about that trillion dollar Mars disinformation. He actually has the best plan for how to explore the Moon within today's budget, that I know of, available at his website. If I had the task of writing a report about how to do it, I would start there. That's the reference plan in my mind. The Moon haters and the Mars haters destroy the spaceflight community. Probably because they are greedily fighting over some tiny government grants. At a place like the Spaceshow hard hitting criticism should be allowed. Lunatic ideas can be inspiring for school children and for the generally uninterested public. But here they should be scrutinized for why they can never happen. When I've posted some stupid ideas at nasaspaceflight I've been rammed hard, and I've learned from it.
Sending humans to the moons of Mars seems to be a surprisingly good idea. It's not immediately obvious, but I don't find any fault with it. It could be done in different ways which remain to be investigated, but the key point is that it could be done, without even asking any politicians about it, at the 2033 conjunction. And to me it seems that this is what the doers at NASA and the space industry in general are working towards and what will actually happen, even if it is not apparent in the "debate" here. Going to a moon at Mars seems like nice compromise for both the Moon and the Mars camps, right? 🙂
Humans or other Earthly life will go to space. Not to run a gas station, but for reasons we cannot comprehend. It is not as if a microbe half a billion years ago made up a plan in order to become human. It just spread to everywhere it could get to and here we are. Why? Good question. I think we need to be honest about this mystery and explore space for no apparent reason. We don't know enough about reasons to use them all out.
(My name is Björn, "B John" is for ease of pronunciation in radio, and many guests and callers are called John anyway, so I just try to mix in discretely "from Sweden" 😀 I'm not the only Swede who's interested in spaceflight. I knew another guy, but he doesn't live here anymore. Just telling, in case you in the US thought that the public is uninterested where you live.)
- 3. Joe from Houston - August 16, 2015
I applaud Charles' efforts, however, politics remain the primary barrier between dreamers and scientists like us and the end game.
I wish The Space Show would bring any politician on the show who is willing to address these barriers that seem to be constantly staring us in the face. Leaving them out of the picture keeps us frolicking in La La Land.
These types of shows seem to be dancing around what really needs to happen to make us a space faring nation which is simply to get the money spenders to spend more money on unearthly things. The biggest return on investment in unearthly things is rocks from space. Apparently, beautiful pictures and heroic stores from space just is not enough to justify going out there, otherwise, we would be there already. I tell you if you bring back rocks from space, you will thrive.
Interestingly, SpaceX has their own money to spend and they are the most likely ones who can do it before their prices inflate to government controlled space exploration prices that only produce beautiful pictures and heroic stories.

Automakers' focus on vehicle safety has changed from crashworthiness (i.e. being able to survive crashes) to crash avoidance (i.e. being able to stay away from accidents). To that end, new technology is being offered on new models that include, proximity sensors on front and rear bumpers, and backup cameras that give a driver a view of what is directly behind the vehicle.
Both are important innovations in crash safety for they help Houston drivers who may not see another car coming (such as in a crowded parking lot). More importantly, they help prevent one of the most unfortunate, yet common accidents: backover accidents involving children. These are incidents when a driver coming out of a driveway or parking spot hits a child that they did not know was there.
According to KidsandCars.org, at least 50 children across the U.S. are injured each week as a result of backover accidents. A large majority of such accidents involve the child's parent or caretaker. Further, at least two American children are killed each week due to backover accidents.
Fortunately, there is a way for parents in Houston to avoid these accidents, even if you don't have a backup camera installed on your vehicle. First, teaching children that parked cars may move is good idea, and that cars do not make good hiding spaces. Second, drivers can make sure to do a quick walk around to make sure nothing is behind the car before backing out. Further, they can ensure that children are in full view before backing out.
Ultimately, drivers have a duty to use reasonable care while driving, and this includes backing out of a driveway.

Natural gas is a trump card for Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the crisis in Ukraine, and this 2009 kitschy video from Russian gas giant Gazprom could very well be the Kremlin anthem right now.
European countries are reluctant to sanction Russia for the invasion of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, partly because Gazprom supplies Europe with so much gas (map below).
"Europe gets 40% of its natural gas from Russia so any sanctions that it threatens will be hindered by its dependence on Russian natural resources," Seva Gunitsky, an associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto, told the National Post.
Meanwhile, Russian troops continue to surround Ukrainian army posts on the strategic Black Sea peninsula, firing warning shots at one air base, while they urge the Ukrainians to pledge allegiance to Kremlin-backed authorities.
Here are some choice lyrics from the song:
Don't bother trying, you'll never ever find
A surer friend than Gazprom
Let's drink to you, let's drink to us,
Let's drink to all the Russian gas
That it never comes to an end,
Though it's so hard to obtain
Let's drink to you, let's drink to us
Let's drink to all the Russian gas
For those extracting the new sun
From down beneath the ground
We're renowned for our deeds
The world over
And all your troubles will recede
If Gazprom people are nearby
Here's a map of Europe showing how heavily EU countries rely on Russian gas imports:

FYI - Hot VWs News.
Larry's Nationals 2013 Rerun Date is this Weekend, Sunday, August 4
Round Two of Larry's Nationals 2013, back again at Kilkare Speedway, Xenia, Ohio
Just a reminder that this Sunday, August 4, 2013, will be the "rain" date/rerun of the annual running of Larry's Nationals, at Kilkare Speedway, in Xenia, Ohio. As you may recall, Larry's original date back in June had to be postponed, due to track repaving, but all that is now completed, and the new concrete starting pad should provide the best traction possible. This is an East Coast PRA Pro Stock event, so look to see the nation's quickest and fastest VW Pro Stocks, along with a car show and swap meet. Hot VWs will be there to cover the action. See you all there this Sunday!

There's an old saying that the difference between an American and a European is that a European thinks that 100 miles is a long distance, whereas an American thinks that 100 years is a long time. Today, in a conversation with some fellow Americans all finding ourselves temporarily on the other side of the Atlantic, the topic turned to differences in how time is viewed between the U.S. and Europe.
I told of the time I had gone to a conference at the in Chateau de Bloire, and was invited to dinner at the nearby chateau of a colleague (people seem to live in old castles in Europe a lot more than they do in the U.S. – maybe because we don't have any). The thing that impressed me the most was the big barn/stables out back. The oldest part of the estate, the barn had been standing for about 800 years. The walls between the giant beams holding it up were made of a kind of mixture of caked mud and straw. My host pointed to a place where, before the mud was completely set, teenagers had carved their names and whatnot, and I realized that I was looking at 800 year old graffiti. As a native New Yorker, who thinks of "old graffiti" as something measured in mere decades, I felt a kind of awe.
The conversation drifted, naturally enough, onto the topic of giant beams. My friend Michael Gleicher told a wonderful anecdote about a college in Cambridge University – perhaps it was King's College – where one of the old houses was held up by a single massive wooden beam, supported by smaller beams. It seems that after seven hundred years of faithful service the great beam was finally starting to rot out. Those responsible at the college realized it would need to be replaced in a few years time, lest the building itself eventually collapse.
But there was a problem: The house had been built back in a time when England was still verdant and covered with magnificent forests, and a tree from which to carve such a beam had been easy to find. Now, of course, things were very different. So the way Michael had heard it, the Cambridge dons turned for advice to the British Forestry Commission. The foresters told them "Your tree is ready."
It seems that seven hundred years earlier, somebody had realized that this day would come. In preparation, a tree had been planted.

Tie me upFor a simple bondage toy like this, it met every one of my expectations and then some. I keep coming up with new uses for it all the time. Unlike some products, it will not cut into your skin or leave marks.
Reusable, ease of use, comfortable
You will sweat with this product with extended wear.
This product could be used by anyone; the important thing to keep in mind is how much you trust your partner. A fun way to use it that I found (though I'm sure I'm not the first) is to have my partner tie me up with it and then fill my pussy and ass with vibrators and then use this tape to keep them forced all the way in me. You wouldn't believe the orgasms you can get this way.
Design / Craftsmanship / Material / Size / Fit
The material is a smooth plastic that can be reused, so it will last a long time. The plastic only sticks to itself, not your skin and has no smell. The roll I have I bought a few years ago and I still haven't replaced it.
By far this has become one of my favorite bondage materials. It can be used in any position unlike some bondage aides. This tape does not cut into your skin like some products do. The only bad thing is that with extended wear you will sweat but that's not a big deal to me.
Care and Maintenance
The tape can be rolled back onto the roll for easy storage or left loose. If need be, it can be washed and will dry in a small amount of time. I just keep my roll in the toy box.
When I got mine, it was just a roll attached to a cardboard package with plastic over it. It had very normal packaging for an item. There was no instruction included but instructions are not needed with this product. The packaging was very minimal.
Follow-up commentary 5 months after original review
I like the tape, though not quite as much as I did originally. It has ended up in the bottom of the toy box and other products are used instead. I have no problems with it, I just have found products that I like more. I replaced this with a better set of restraints that I now prefer.

Sir Knights will step out on one of the longest and widest main streets in Ireland for the largest demonstration in Co Tyrone on Saturday.
Among them will be the Sovereign Grand Master, Rev William Anderson, who is the special guest on the day. It will be the clergyman's first 'Last Saturday' in the senior role, having been elected in June.
Up to 70 preceptories and a similar number of bands will take part in the Cookstown parade, which will be led by Tullylagan Pipe Band. Five districts representing south and east Tyrone and north Armagh will take part from Aughnacloy, Killyman, Summerisland, Primatial and East Tyrone. Preceptories from Cavan and Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland will also be in attendance.
The main parade will commence at 12 noon from Grange Road and proceed via Tullywiggan Road, Killymoon Street, through the town centre to the demonstration field on the Moneymore Road. The platform proceedings will start at 2.30pm with Rev Anderson being the principal speaker. The service of worship will be conducted by Rev Robert Boyd. The preacher is Rev Dr David Murphy.
Sovereign Grand Master said the Institution was looking forward to the much-anticipated day in the parading calendar.
He said: "The 'Last Saturday' is rightly regarded as one of the flagship events of the annual parading season and we are once again expecting another glorious day of spectacle and pageantry."

The city of Kenmore was one of only five cities in the State of Washington to win an Association of Washington Cities (AWC) Municipal Excellence Award, presented on June 27 at the annual AWC conference in Yakima. Mayor David Baker and Assistant City Manager Nancy Ousley accepted the award on the city's behalf at the conference.
"Our Municipal Excellence Award winners are all truly deserving of recognition," AWC Chief Executive Officer Peter B. King stated in a press release. "These five communities have undertaken innovative projects that have improved quality of life in their communities."
The competition is open each year to any Washington city or town. The cities of Sequim, Walla Walla, Lakewood and Friday Harbor were also recognized.
Kenmore earned the Municipal Excellence Economic Development Award for its "Kenmore + Local Business: Connecting and Growing" project. AWC highlighted Kenmore's creation of a business alliance and incubator, demonstrating its community as a place of opportunity, cultivating existing businesses, and inviting new ones.
Kenmore adopted its first Economic Development Strategy in 2009, with goals to promote Kenmore, support old and attract new business, provide a walkable downtown, and connect the community to the waterfront. The strategy proved to be a successful roadmap for significant development and smart economic growth, according to a city press release.
Private sector investment in a walkable, vibrant Downtown Kenmore is approaching $100 million since 2014. In addition and over the last decade, the city has leveraged over $80 million in federal, state, and local dollars to improve safety and beautify the streetscape on SR-522 between 61st and 83rd Avenues Northeast. In 2016, voters approved a $19.5 million "Walkways and Waterways" bond measure – the city's first – to invest in five significant sidewalk, park and waterfront access projects, one of which is already completed.
The Kenmore City Council will be adopting an updated Economic Development Strategy later this month, setting the stage for the next five to 10 years.
"Kenmore is well positioned for continued responsible, quality investment in our downtown, and along the waterfront," Baker stated. "This entire community works together to propel Kenmore forward. It's something to see."

How Do You Handle Stress
Let's face it… we are living in an extraordinary world today. We are creative beings by nature and our creative faculties show up in our world as effects, as things and circumstances. There is so much outside stimuli to focus on we often find ourselves overwhelmed and exhausted by it, which causes our internal stress alarms to fire off. That is the body's "fight or flight reaction" and in this advancing world we live in we trigger this reaction far too often.
We feel stress when we try to take on the world by ourselves. We try to control and manipulate our way through life. It is when we release our control and give up our willpower to our Higher Source that our struggle ceases.
There are many ways to manage stress but without a solid spiritual connection, those ways lead to being just another "quick fix." You must know who you are, and what your life is about in order to live a life of ease and peace. Stress is a separation or disconnect from God, the true nature of who you are. If you stay connected with God, the stress cycle never gains momentum. You make better choices which feed and nourish you, support and strength you.
Ernest Holmes says, "The whole purpose of the Science of Mind is to reconcile the apparent separation of the spiritual world, which must be Perfect, with the material world, which appears imperfect. The Spiritual world is the CAUSE of the material; we are spiritual beings governed by mental law. ONLY THAT WORLD CAN APPEAR TO US WHICH WE MENTALLY PERCEIVE." Holmes powerful lesson teaches us that these things we call stress or stressful is nothing more than our belief that we are separate from the Divine Wholeness we truly are.
