I was happy with this stroller. I took on a cruise last week and very easy to unfold and fold, very lightweight, and my daughter even napped a couple of times during our dinners. She loves it. And mommy and daddy love it. The only downfall to this stroller is that it definately is not all terrain.... We went walking to the nearest starbucks in Puerto Vallarta and we went through some rough gravel and the stroller did not do well on it. Even in Cabo my husband got upset cause we had some packages in the basket and my daughter was walking with my parents and the stroller went over on it's side when we walked onto a large rock road.
That was the only downfall to this stroller......
Love it and worth every penny! Just went on vacation to FL for 2 weeks, my chunky daughter just turn 2 and I wanted a smaller stroller but not a cheap made umbrella. It has lots of storage pouches on each side that I used for an extra outfit and wipes. Basket is good size for smaller stroller. I like the handle across the back so I could hang my purse/diaperbag over it, and it also has 2 smaller cup holder and a tray ibetween them. LOVE the PINK the real reason I chose this model. Solid Rain/Sun Shade was also nice. Has a small cup holder for toddler, you can remove if you dont like is cheaper plastic there.
After the two month long search for the perfect stroller for my 2 1/2 year old daughter, (my sturdy 6-year-old Evenflo finally lost a wheel,) I finally settled on this one. I was looking for something that would be large enough for my daughter, that had a basket and cup holder, and was small enough to travel with and easily manuver. I bought and returned two other strollers, both with similar design and features, but neither "drove" well. Horribly, in fact. This Jeep stroller is sturdy enough for everything I need it for, gives my daughter plenty of room and room to grow, has ample space in the basket, and is easy to manuver in stores, the zoo, the neigborhood, etc. I'll even be using it to travel in December, and I have no doubt it will hold up to the airport and cargo hold. I am so pleased with the quality of this stroller for the price. It's a true value that is so hard to find. I know, I've looked! I definately recommend this.
This comment is coming from someone who does online shopping wisely & shops for bargains:
The stroller doesn't really look like in the picture. I thought it was a more like a canvas material...but it's like a water repellent material, which is ok, but makes it look like a cheaper type of stroller. The bags on the side look nice in the picture, but they are pretty rink dinky & you can't fold the stroller if you don't take them off. The seat recliner is a belt strap :0/ that you adjust...that was kind of weird. And the seat cushion & back support feel like a weak cardboard type of material. The only thing going for this stroller is that it fold away easily. I bought it to take to Dr. appts. & quick errands. I have a nice fancy stroller for other occassions. I think it should be priced cheaper-like for no more that $25 dollars...$50 is too expensive for this type of stroller. I still have a light weight stroller bought years ago from walmart for $15 & it has a 'real ' reclining seat & works great, but I wanted something pretty in pink.
I was attracted to this stroller because it had the one-hand fold/unfold feature, the basket below, the cupholders for the adult and child, and the reclining seat. However, once I started to use it none of these features really impressed me. The one-hand fold/unfold works but is hard to do one-handed and if you don't lock it by the latch on the bottom it just opens again. The basket is a nice addition but really only fits a small bag or two. The cupholders are too small to fit most cups and when you have the canopy up it covers them. And the reclining seat does not recline all the way and is done by tightening and loosening a 'belt' similar to the middle seat in a car.
Plus the seat itself is narrow and is hard to put my daughter in sometimes and she's only 15 months old. And I took her tray off because it was such a hassle and really served no purpose since her sippy cups were too big to fit in it.
All in all I don't hate it, but I wouldn't buy it again if I had it to do over. It pushes pretty good and seems pretty durable, but doesn't stick out as a great stroller for the $50 I paid.
I have to say, I love this stroller! It is lightweight, durable, easy to get the kid in and out (although if the kids' tray was adjustable that would have been great) . . . I took it into grass and sand at a playground and it moved just fine. It has a great window in the sun shade that my daughter will peak up at me to make sure I'm still there . . . I really can fold it up and load it in the van one handed, so that's a plus! My daughter (11 mos.) seems comfortable in it. Criticisms: handle is not adjustable and I have a long stride so I sometimes kick the tire bar . . . shorter friends do not seem to have this problem. The cupholder is a mite smaller than it should be, some cups fit, most don't (advent bottles don't either). The side pouches aren't entirely convenient since they're held on by velcro and if they're loaded too heavy will pull off. But given what we paid for it, these are all small items and I am thrilled with the stroller!
I thought this stroller was SO cute, but it was definitely not a great buy!! Both my 3 year old and 9 month old hated that the seat wouldn't sit all the way upright. Also, the seat is very small (front-to-back not side-to-side), so they both kept sliding down in it (going under the snack tray). By the way, both my girls are VERY small, so I can only imagine this seat with a normal or larger sized child! I retured this after 2 days!! I've had a Jeep stroller before and loved it, but this was terrible!
The set up was easy.
I liked the parent tray and canopy.
It felt very stable and drove well.
It folded/unfolded easily and was easy to store (small).
The seat does not have a fully upright position!
The bottom basket is sort of small.
The child tray can't hold any type of cup.
I have done a lot of research looking for a lightweight stroller for my Granddaughter. I wanted the stroller to have several features like a basket underneath, cup holders for parents, cup holder for child, ability for stroller to lie back and/or sit up, and be extremely lightweight. I also wanted it to be reasonably priced, and, if possible, to get a pink stroller. While many strollers had some of the features I wanted, THIS stroller was the ONLY stroller that has ALL the features that I wanted. I just love it. And it pushes around so easy as well. Oh, by the way, putting it together was very simple. I highly recommend this stroller.
My daugher is 20 months and is our third child (and hopefully last). I bought this because I wanted something durable, easy to clean, and light weight. This far exceeded my expectations. I love the material because it isn't cloth. It wipes off easily unlike the other cloth strollers (If they get dirty, you either have to deal with it or clean them in the yard with the hose pipe because the covers don't come off easily). I love the little bags on the side because I can keep the stroller net (for the mosquitos at the ball park and purchased seperately) and her toys in them and she always has something to do. The cup holder in the toddler tray is small for some sippy cups but how many toddlers actually put the cups back in them anyway. Usually her snacks are in there and her juice is in the seat with her (go back to the easy wipe off seat)! The basket is perfect for a small to medium size diaper bag. The adult tray will hold two large McDonalds cups easily! and has a little place in the middle for snacks or keys. I am 5'9" and most strollers cause me to hunch over to push them but this one doesn't. It is just the right height. However if you were much taller than that, you might start having to bend over. Excellent product and very easy to put together (15 minutes tops).
Excellent mid-sized stroller! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Much better than those awkward umbrella strollers and no need for a bulky type stroller when you're just going in & out of places. I have a Scion w/ limited trunk space and having this stroller means I can drive my car places instead of always taking the mommy-van! ^-^ For the price, this stroller is EVERYTHING WE NEED. ...FYI/Some of my personal observations: The seat does not fully recline so, it isn't really for a NB. The seat recline adjusts by using a belt-system that you tighten as needed. Not deluxe, but I can deal w/ that. It has a 3-pt harness- not a 5-pt (most kids do fine w/ just a 3-pt). The canopy gives ample coverage and has a window for viewing- nice, however it does not move to adjust for shade. The basket underneath is a fair size- plenty big enough for an armful of goodies and the 2 side cargo pockets are just extra cute (you can fit a small wipes case & a few diapers in one). The child snack tray is a tad-bit high on my 12 month old, but she's only getting bigger. The "Parent Tray" is not as overated as I thought- lol- a great convenience. Overall- great investment! I have 3 other strollers sitting in the garage- this one is my favorite everyday one. The stores can not keep this baby in stock! It is HOTTTTT! WE LOVE IT!
I like this stroller but was hoping I would LOVE it! I bought this stroller so that I could put away my BIG stroller. However, my daughter isn't very comfortable in this for long periods of time. It is GREAT for short trips or for going into stores that aren't made for the big stroller. One thing that I do love about this stroller is that it is the ONLY one I found that I didn't kick the back wheels when I walked. I am tall and had trouble with that. This one worked well. It's a nice stroller and does the job for small, quick trips. I would recommend it and probably buy it again!
I bought this stroller online right before going on an flying to Chicago. I wanted something lightweight but with the luxuries of a full size stroller. This stroller has worked well so far. I like that it can be easily wiped off and it has cupholders for moms and dads. I also like that it has a roomy basket below. It's not as roomy as a full sized stroller but it's decent for shopping. It's also nice to have an all-terrain stroller for the park. Some of the drawbacks are that the seat isn't at a perfect 90 degree angle even when it's in the tightest setting, you cannot remove the child's tray, the cupholder in the child's tray is too small, and the latch for holding the stroller in it's fold up position is annoying. You are supposed to latch and unlatch it every time that you used it which is not very convenient. Other than those things, I think the stroller is very nice.
We have had our Graco Lite Rider for over a year. It has always taken up a lot of trunk space and now that our daughter is walking we wanted something smaller, lighter and easy to carry. We are planning a trip to Disney World in October and the idea of taking our current stroller was definitely a big NO in our book. After seeing a lot of lightweight strollers at over $100 we found the Jeep and fell in love with it. It has everything we were looking for. Cup holders, sun shade, easy set up and folding and is extremely light. I put it together in about 10 minutes and we just took it for a test drive with our daughter at one of the state parks. This stroller went over everyting including gravel and tree stumps. It's so light and easy to handle. I wish we would have purchased this in the beginning and we would have saved over $100 by not buying the big Graco one.
I bought this stroller b/c we already have a Jeep lightweight umbrella one for my 3 yr old. Now with a 10 month old, I still carry a diaper bag, so storage is a must, and needed some reclining features. This stroller is great. Lightweight is not the word, this is featherweight. The price was right, it was super easy to put together, the storage area is enough for the little diaper bag, I have cupholders!, and a tray in front for snacks. It fits beautifully in a regular sized trunk.
On the down side, the stroller came with a broken screw (to maintain the umbrella nice and tight) but we improvised and it is just fine. Another thing is that my 10 month old comes up a bit short when seated in it. Her nose is leveled with the tray. Regardless, I know she will grow into it, so it doesn't matter right now.
All in all I am very happy that I made the purchase.
I bought this stroller to replace the big travel one that I had that is big and bulky to take places. I had bought an umbrella stroller first and did not like it at all. Very hard to push and kept kicking the wheels and I am short. My husband couldn't push it at all! I really like this stroller. It was very easy to setup and it is very light. I really like that it is pink!! It pushes very easily and my daughter (10 months) seems very comfortable in it. It even pushes nicely through the yard and it doesn't bounce her all over the place. Haven't really used the recline position yet because she is always looking around to see what is going on, but it looks like it reclines well enough for her to sleep if she ever wanted to! Even my husband can push this one without kicking the wheels or being hunched over. A very nice stroller for a reasonable price.
I wanted something small and simple and i had my eye on a jeep umbrella stroller because I love all the pink!!! but then I saw this one and for a couple dollars more it was worth it! i have 3 kids so I've tried them all, fancy big strollers, umbrella strollers, this is in the middle, good features from both kinds, It looks as fancy as a regular sized one but is not as big and heavy to drag around, it folds half the size and I love the cute little bags. What this one has that the umbrella strollers dont is a big basket underneath, now I dont have to dig in the diaperbag and just take out a couple things, when I really need everything in my diaperbag, now I can just bring the whole diaper bag! The only thing i dont really like is the canopy doesnt really cover the sun from my baby's face, its big, but maybe because my daughters only 3 months old.
I should have listened to the other reviews before I bought this stroller. Although it is VERY cute and sporty the seat is awful! It does not sit up straight and my toddler HATES it! She is very active and interested in everything around her but this seat does NOT let your child sit upright. The only means of adjusting it is a buckle in the back and my daughter was literally sliding down the front of the seat every time she rode in it, only being help in by the seat belt between her legs (can't be comfortable!). Really awful design. I also expected much better wheels from a "Jeep" brand. They are definitely NOT all terrain. Every crack in the sidewalk was hard to get over and some I hit so hard my child's whole body jolted! I would spend the extra money and get a better stroller. You will use it everyday and it is worth it.
As soon as we got it home we put it together. It is lightweight, compact, and easy to use. It's one hand operation was and is still my favorite thing. We live on the top floor of our appt complex and I didn't want to be lugging a large stroller out all the time to go for a walk or leave and then lug it back upstairs. This one is perfect. Not too big and definately not too small. The perfect blend between the big bohemuth everyone seems to have and the regular umbrella stroller. Easy to carry with one hand, unfolds with one hand, and easily fits in the trunk of my little focus. I was a little worried that the pink would be overwhelming but it's not. The only thing that could have made it better was a bigger basket. But hey, with 2 removeable bags and the parent tray, what more could we ask for?
This stroller is for our 4th child. We have had many other strollers in the past ranging from top of the line expensive to the cheapest one we could find. This is by far the best stroller we have had. It is light weight, easy to fold and store, has a decent storage basket for the diaper bag and cupholders. We take it every week to our older daughter's soccer games where we have to go through sand and though harder than pavement it still rolls through with ease. The sun shade doesn't provide all that much shade but we do live in AZ where it is impossible to get away from the sun. It is also a little short for my husband (who is 6'3") but I don't have a problem with it and it's also perfect for my older children who love to help push. This is my favorite stroller by far!
Great lightweight, travel stroller for TALL PEOPLE!
No More hunched over backs!!!!!!

One of the most amazing things about living abroad is that every day is an adventure to the senses. In China, I needn't look far to see sights that surprised me on a daily basis. Just when I thought I had my neighbors' daily routines figured out, one of them would start carefully laying out peppers on the sidewalk (to dry in the sun) or a group of old men would be gathered in the park for kite flying festival. You never know what you're going to see next!
It has been almost two years since President Obama lessened restrictions on travel to Cuba. This move made by our president provides academic, religious, and cultural groups with unparalleled opportunities to travel to this previously forbidden land.
The University of Iowa took advantage of the situation and started the Overseas Writing Workshop in Cuba in January, immediately after President Obama's lessening of travel restrictions, as reported by The Daily Iowan.
French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte will be hard to miss this fall, with a major University of Iowa Museum of Art exhibition and related programming and displays occupying spaces all over the campus. Meanwhile, across the country, the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 is being commemorated with events in the cities and ports that saw action during our last conflict with Great Britain. While connections between a French Emperor, a nearly-forgotten war, and the State of Iowa may seem remote, reminders of them are, in fact, all around us.
The contributions of Latinos to the nation's heartland are the focus of The Latino Midwest, the 2012-13 University of Iowa Obermann-International Programs Humanities symposium. This interdisciplinary conference will examine the history, education, literature, art, and civil rights struggles of Latinos in light of the demographic changes experienced by Midwestern states with growing Latino populations.
While most of the players on the Iowa men's golf team hail from such Midwestern states as Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri, freshman Voramate Aussarassakorn's home is much, much farther away - Around 8,541 miles.
Aussarassakorn is from Bangkok, Thailand, and he has been on the links since he was 8 years old.
Since that young age, golfing in the United States has always been his ambition.
No students have registered for the University of Iowa's Overseas writing program in Cuba 10 days before the deadline, despite program managers opening its gates to graduate and non-degree seeking students.
Leslie McNelius, a study-abroad adviser and one of the pioneers of the UI's program in Cuba, said she was not too concerned because she expects a lot of last-minute applications.
"We've had quite a few email and phone inquiries from potential participants in the last weeks," she said. "There's an info session coming up … so some may turn in apps after that."
In her bicycle trek across Japan last month, Iowa City resident Michelle Gin met a number of hibakusha, the Japanese term for survivors of the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the U.S. in 1945.
One woman, a volunteer emergency aid worker, recounted to Gin her experience of rushing to the hospital just after the bomb dropped. The streets were filled with burned bodies and hands reached for her ankles for help as she walked by.
The long history of Latino presence in the Midwest and the changing demographics of our region will be among the topics discussed on the October 5 WorldCanvass program, The Latino Midwest. The free program will take place in Room 2780, University Capitol Centre from 5-7 p.m. and the public is invited to attend. WorldCanvass is produced by International Programs and hosted by Joan Kjaer.

Taiji, also known as tai chi or tai qui, is a mind-body practice known for increasing flexibility, relaxation, and overall health. In this course, students will learn fundamental Taiji movements: Ward-off, Roll Back, Press and Push in a Four Hands form.
A new student organization at the University of Iowa will offer its members a unique opportunity to volunteer abroad next spring.
The organization, called International Volunteers, is open to students of all majors who are interested in gaining volunteer experience while exploring another country. Members will collectively decide on a country where they will complete volunteer projects based on their skills and interests. The trip will last approximately 3-4 weeks and begin after finals week in May 2013.
Kao Kalia Yang, author of The Latehomecomer: a Hmong Family Memoir will speak at 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23, in C20 Pomerantz Center. Her book is this year's choice for the One Community, One Book annual reading program, sponsored by the UI Center for Human Rights (UICHR), which invites community residents to discuss the same human-rights related text. This event is free and open to the public.
ICJ will hold an information session and training workshop Friday, Sept. 14, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. in 1117 University Capitol Centre for potential volunteers.

University of Iowa students may now study politics and economics on an international level without the hassle of studying in two different departments.
The European Studies Group (ESG) is hosting a luncheon talk featuring speaker Stephanie Mueller at noon on Friday, Sept. 14, in 2520C University Capitol Centre. The title of the talk is "A Ghost, a Jester, and a Bird: Three Metaphors of 'Subversion' among Conflicting Nationalisms in Contemporary Spain."
It's too big for one venue, so a new exhibit on the University of Iowa campus will be presented in both the Old Capitol Museum and the Iowa Memorial Union.
The exhibit, "Napoléon and the Art of Propaganda," features more than 120 drawings, prints, painting, sculptures, manuscripts, medals, and other objects. The exhibit opens Sept. 13 and continues through Jan. 29 in the Pentacrest Museums Gallery for Arts, Humanities, and Sciences in the Old Capitol Museum and in the Black Box Theater at the Iowa Memorial Union.
Even though two years have passed since the start of the Arab Spring, experts on Arab affairs in America are still trying to spread awareness about the revolution.
"The Middle East remains critical, as it is where we spend our biggest amount of money, is the source of lots of our oil, is the place where our main ally [Israel] is, and is a source of terrorism that has affected our shores," said University of Iowa law Professor Adrien Wing.
The goal of the University of Iowa's WiderNet Project is to deliver educational information to underserved places, so it's fitting that the 500th eGranary Digital Library was installed this summer in the remote island village of Lamu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site off the coast of Kenya in East Africa.
A warm welcome to all of you for the 2012-13 academic year. In this brief note, I'd like to share a few thoughts on International Programs' goals for the coming year as well as updates on activities and organizational changes.
UI President Sally Mason, fresh off a summer visit to China and Taiwan, highlighted the growing reach of UI as what she called a "global institution" Tuesday at a luncheon hosted by the Iowa City Foreign Relations Council.
Mason shared slides from the UI delegation's trip to Asia, a 10-day visit in July designed to strengthen current relationships with alumni and partners in Hong Kong, Taipei, Beijing and Shanghai, and establish new ties.
About 700 first-time international students came to Iowa City this fall, bringing the international student total to about 3,700. These students represent 111 countries and are a part of every field of academic study available at UI.
For these students, making the move to Iowa City can be nerve-racking, exciting and, at times, a downright daunting experience. For 41 years, the University of Iowa Friends of International Students has worked to make the transition to America easier by connecting international students with members of the Iowa City community — called friends — to help the students feel more comfortable away from home and introduce them to American culture and customs.
Introducing John Cabot University, an American university located in the heart of Rome. Now enter professors from the prestigious International Writing Program (IWP), the University of Iowa's unique residency program for international writers. The occasion for their meeting? The first annual Italy Writes Creative Writing competition for Italian high school students.
University of Iowa officials are expecting to see a rise in international students in the graduate programs this fall, a trend that exists at the national level.
Graduate College Dean John Keller said the UI expects somewhere close to a 12 percent increase in the number of international students in its graduate programs.
Nationally, there was a 9 percent increase in the number of international students attending graduate schools, according to the Council of Graduate Schools.

I stayed here for one night and was very happy with the hotel. It is pretty small but the room was okay for me being solo. It would've been really tight had there been two of us. The front desk was very helpful and nice. They helped me navigate around and get some difficult dinner reservations. This was located well for me with a nice walk to all the shopping, museums and dinning. Two metro stations easily accessible to get me to where ever I needed to go. I would definitely come back and stay here.
We were pleasantly surprised at how much we loved this hotel. The location was really ideal for us and very central to everything. The hotel is a really small boutique hotel that was very clean. I believe they have some sort of continental breakfast and juices in the morning although we did not partake in it. There is hot water, tea, and coffee available at all times. The staff was extremely nice and helpful in everything we needed. We really needed a King size bed and it's not very common to find but this hotel did have King beds. The rooms are very small (like pretty much anywhere else in Paris) but it was fine. Room was stocked with snacks and a mini fridge with drinks for purchase. Overall, I can say our stay was amazing and my husband and I agreed we will come back here EVERY time we go to Paris. If you're thinking of staying here, book in advance! My mother just tried booking for June 2015 and they are sold out.
The room was small but that was expected for a room in Paris. The hotel staff was very pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed the neighborhood. The room was a little warm and it didn't seem like the air conditioner worked properly but we also had the same issue in another city on our trip so it might have been our issue.
Let's start with the obvious and get them out of the way. The room is a little small, the shower needs a curtain instead of an interesting plastic half-cover, and the elevator is hilariously tiny. Now for the rest. The weekend night clerk was incredibly friendly and gave us great advice for food. I wish I noted his name to give him the credit he deserves. The location was near two metro stops and made it easy to get around. The room was clean, the coffee was good, the bed was comfortable, and we were in Paris. We had a great time, would stay here again, and would recommend it to our friends.
This hotel could be good however after spending the night at the hotel I woke up with bites and a rash on my legs. I had never had anything like this before and when looking it up it appeared to be bedbug bites. After showing my legs to the hotel management the result was unsatisfactory to the extreme. There actions were to make things more inconvenient for us rather than be least bit helpful or acknowledge any possible resonsibility. it was the only blemish on our entire 16 day trip to europe. Other than this hotel we enjoyed our short stay in Paris

I'd rather try and gain the people who I know will be interested in our brand vs following everyone just to look like you have tons of followers and your brand is the next big thing. What's your guys opinion?
Absolutely agree with this. One key attribute of great brands is that they have a distinct personal connection with their customers and fans.
Very true.
Don't get in over your head to early or you might burn out...
But not all brands follow the same game plan, so as long as you have a handle on everything that is going on who can knock you.
And to be honest I follow the brands I both like and dislike. Just to keep an eye out on what they are going wrong or what I think it wrong in my eyes so I make sure I don't do the same.

Pepe Reina: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
April 16, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Reina is starting in goal for Saturday's match against Inter Milan.
Reina will be the goalkeeper for a Napoli side that has been struggling as of late. Look for him to remain a constant starter in goal for Napoli now that he's healthy.
March 31, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Reina has taken a slight knock to the calf and is doubtful for Napoli's match against Udinese on Sunday, the club's official website reports.
Udinese are in the midst of an awful run of form so coach Maurizio Sarri will like his chances of getting the three points with or without the team's starting goalkeeper. If Reina can't play, expect Gabriel Ferreira to take his place between the posts.
March 1, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Reina gave up one goal and had no saves in the 1-1 draw against Fiorentina on Monday.
Reina was unable to stop the only shot on goal Fiorentina had Monday, giving up just his 22nd goal of the season. He has been one of the best goalies in Serie A this season, however, allowing less than one goal per match.
February 26, 2016
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Reina had only one save and gave up a goal in the 1-1 draw against Villarreal during the Europa League Round of 32 on Thursday.
The goal that Reina gave up in the 59th minute knocked Napoli out of the Europa League. Reina may have struggled Thursday but he only gave up three goals in the Europa League and has given up only 15 goals in Serie A during 26 starts.
June 23, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Reina returned to Napoli after one season as Manuel Neuer's backup at Bayern Munich, Football Italia reports.
Reina should become the starter as Napoli played both Mariano Andujar and Rafael this past season.
October 11, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Reina will miss several weeks after suffering a calf injury in an exhibition game Monday, Bundesliga.com reports.
Reina's name still holds some clout, but it does nothing to get him starts ahead of Manuel Neuer in Bundesliga or Champions League matches, which limits his fantasy value considerably.
August 5, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Reina has agreed a deal to join Bayern Munich from Liverpool, Sky Sports reports.
The 31-year old, who was sent on loan to Napoli last season, fell out of favor at Anfield after the signing of Simon Mignolet last summer. Reina will be the back-up for first-choice goalkeeper Manuel Neuer at Bayern.

This just in from Stoke HQ! How to snag 20 to 30 to 40 foot waves every session!
Greetings!
Let me explain my preposterous subj heading...
I can make that claim because I have created a new metric by which to measure the sometimes/often times sh#tty east coast slop we get in Summer. One simply has to measure (guesstimate of course) how far down the line or in case of a close-out, how far towards shore one has ridden the rinky dink lil wave. On a normal, howlingly side shore, 2ft. blown out day it makes for funny looks in the lineup when I'm screaming to friends how I just snagged a \\\"23 footer!!!!\\\" (maybe that was what NJShredmachine was talking about all this time?? lol)

In other news the surf is finally up on the NC coast.
That South Swell was wrapping in nicely during high tide at CB just a lil while ago. I hope some peeps got to sample that. If not it should be here all weekend. sEe ya shredders in the H20! and good luck catching that elusive \\\"56 ft.\\\" wave!

-people call me \\\"stoked guy\\\" but swell info wouldn't let me change my handle! peace!

Job growth + population growth + affordability = (CASH FLOW + GROWTH)
That's the wealth-building formula we'll be sharing at this month's live event. You'll meet our newest R.E.A.L turnkey rental property teams and find out how you can still find high cash flow and appreciation this summer.
Dallas-Fort Worth
Dallas-Fort Worth is home to over 10,000 corporate headquarters, which is more than any other metro area in the U.S. Since 2014 companies like Toyota, Charles Schwab, Wesco Aircraft Holdings Inc, Ciao Telecom, Jamba Juice, Red Mango, and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc have moved their HQs from California to the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.
All this job growth has created a 25% increase in population since 2000, and experts predict this to increase 2 percent every year until 2019.
Despite all this growth, Dallas continues to be significantly more affordable than comparable metro areas. But…prices continue to rise at a 10% clip each year. Investors have a small window of opportunity to find cash flow property today with a strong chance of appreciation – thanks to our excellent teams in the area.
Birmingham, AlabamaBirmingham, a beautiful city nestled at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, was once a primary industrial center of the southern U.S..
At the height of the nation's manufacturing age, the city grew so fast in population, it was called the "Magic City." (This nickname was also partly because Birmingham is the only city in the world where the three raw ingredients used to make steel – coal, limestone, and iron ore – occur naturally in a ten mile radius.)
Today, Birmingham has transformed itself into a medical research, banking and service-based economy, making it one of the nation's most livable cities with a vibrant downtown, a burgeoning loft community, a world-class culinary scene.
The city's unemployment rate is at 4.6%, and boasts a GDP growth of 3.8%, outpacing the national average of 2.5% (top 15% of all U.S. metro areas). Yet it's still one of the most affordable cities in the U.S.
Home prices are currently at historically low levels, but are slowly rising – as are rents.
Join at this month's live event to meet our new teams, learn more about Dallas and Birmingham, and to get an insider's look at the current investment opportunity in each of these markets right now.
As always, there are never any back of the room sales. This event is informational only, so leave your wallet at home. Come relax and learn about some of the hottest US markets for investing today.

The Marvel Captain America Blast 'N Go Assault Cycle Vehicle from Hasbro is a vehicle and figure that are based on the movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
The assault cycle has a launcher that when attached to the back of the cycle, propels the cycle forward. Kids can also attach the launcher to the side of the cycle as a pretend weapon.
The Captain America figure is molded to fit on the vehicle but he can be removed from the cycle. The figures' arms and legs are movable, and something that kids–and immature adults–will find funny is that it looks like Captain America has to go to the bathroom when his legs are folded down.
This Captain America figure is for little Marvel fans, ages 3 and up. Kids around the age of 3 to 6 will love it.
The figure's shield can be removed from his back, however, the figure cannot hold the shield.

While fermentation has been important since prehistoric times, it really took off at the beginning of the 20th century when microorganisms were used to make organic acids.
By the 1940s, antibiotic production had become the new application and this moved microbes to the forefront of industrial biology. From the 1940s to the 1970s, the discovery of new antibiotics continued to contribute to the importance of microbial fermentations. Also at this time, production of primary metabolites such as amino acids, organic acids, and vitamins pushed the fermentation field into the spotlight.
Production was dependent on making mutants that produced higher titers of products, but this was difficult, time-consuming, and slow. Thanks to the discovery of recombinant DNA and the establishment of the biotechnology industry in California in 1971–1973, entirely new ways of improving microorganisms became available and it revolutionized the fermentation industry.
Microbes are one of the greatest sources of metabolic and enzymatic diversity. Emerging recombinant DNA and genomic techniques have led to efficient new expression systems, modification of biosynthetic pathways leading to new metabolites by metabolic engineering, and enhancement of catalytic properties of enzymes by directed evolution.
Complete sequencing of industrially important microbial genomes is taking place very rapidly and there are already dozens of genomes sequenced. Functional genomics and proteomics are indeed major tools used in the search for new molecules and development of higher-producing strains.
Natural products are superior to synthetic compounds for making pharmaceuticals. Microbes are better than plants or animals for manufacturing commercial levels of such compounds.
Arnold L. Demain, Ph.D., answers two key questions:
Microbes have a number of advantages, including rapid uptake of nutrients supporting high rates of metabolism and biosynthesis; ability to carry out a wide variety of reactions; facility to adapt to a large array of different environments; ease of genetic manipulation, both in vivo and in vitro, to increase production, to modify structures and activities, and to make entirely new products; simple screening procedures; and a wide diversity.
Microbial products are diverse, ranging from large molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrate polymers, or even cells, to small molecules that are usually divided into primary metabolites, i.e., those essential for vegetative growth, and secondary metabolites, which are not essential for growth. The primary metabolites include amino acids, organic acids, alcohols, and vitamins.
Production of a particular primary metabolite by deregulated organisms may inevitably be limited by the inherent capacity of the particular organism to make the appropriate biosynthetic enzymes. Recent approaches utilize modern genetic engineering techniques to correct such deficiencies and develop strains overproducing primary metabolites.
There are two ways to accomplish this: increase the number of copies of structural genes coding for these enzymes and the frequency of transcription.
Novel genetic technologies are important for the development of overproducers. Genome-based strain reconstruction leads to the development of a superior strain which contains mutations crucial to hyperproduction but not other unknown mutations, which accumulate by brute-force mutagenesis and screening.
Also important are genome-sequencing projects involving hundreds of genomes, the availability of sequences corresponding to model organisms, new DNA microarray and proteomic tools, and new techniques for mutagenesis and recombination DNA technology.

It's the return of Jhoulys Chacin! It seems as though every hotshot pitching prospect who has been called up has made immediate noise, and Chacin was no exception. He boasted a 2.71 ERA in 23 2/3 innings, striking out 23 batters, before being forced into the bullpen in mid-July. He's been getting stretched out the past few weeks in the minors, which has also had the benefit of keeping his innings low. It also means you can put him to immediate use, as he shouldn't be on any kind of pitch count. Available in 98 percent of the ESPN universe, he could be the missing piece to your stretch run.
For starters
Starting pitcher rankings for Aug. 17
Rk.: The author's ranking of that pitcher for that day only. T: Pitcher throws left-handed or right-handed. Opp: The pitcher's opponent for the day. Rating: The starting pitcher's matchup rating -- separate from the author's ranking -- which accounts for past history (three years' worth as well as past 21 days), opponent and ballpark. Ratings range from 1-10, with 10 representing the best possible matchup, statistically speaking, and 1 representing the worst. W-L: Pitcher's win-loss record. ERA: Pitcher's earned run average. WHIP: Pitcher's average number of walks plus hits surrendered per inning.
Selected notes:
• Brandon Morrow is Kerry Wood reincarnated. OK, now what? Morrow's biggest problem is inconsistency, and while throwing him into the fire as a starter and letting him figure it out has been the right choice, one amazing start doesn't throw any of that out the window. He averages fewer than 5 2/3 innings per start, so the four consecutive wins he's picked up are not something you should get used to. That said, Morrow is still my boy; I'm just saying all you new owners should temper your expectations. He still makes a great option against the Athletics.
• I'll miss you, Jeff Francis, but I'm not going to lie: I'm taking Jhoulys Chacin all day, every day. Chacin was already proving himself a capable third (real life) or fourth (fantasy) starter, racking up 74 strikeouts in 71 2/3 innings (12 starts). He won't pitch deep into games and his WHIP could be on the high end, so he's not for everybody, but I would be all over him when he faces the Dodgers.
• Scott Baker just got touched up by the White Sox -- on the road -- but I'll take the blame for that one. I never should have recommended him, as the White Sox have a good offense, especially at home, where their park has been the most favorable one to home runs this season. But Baker will be at home in the rematch, and Target Field has been the least favorable park to home runs this season. Now it makes sense that Baker has allowed just five of his 19 home runs at home.
• In reality, though, Tuesday's matchups are more about whom to avoid than whom to start. And there's a lot to avoid, starting with Jaime Garcia. If you still have that image of Garcia as an elite starter, let me shatter it: He's gradually been slipping the past two months and it wouldn't be surprising to see him implode soon. Avoid him when he faces the Brewers, one of the best offenses in the league.
• Much of the same applies to Barry Zito, Justin Verlander and John Danks. Zito has allowed eight home runs his past five starts, so I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping him active on the road against the Phillies, even potentially missing their two best hitters. Verlander faces the Yankees, and if that's not self-explanatory to you by now, I don't know what to tell you! Danks may throw a wrench into things -- he dominated the Twins his last time out, so why not play him in the rematch? -- but for better or worse I refuse to be results-oriented. As a team, the Twins actually pound Danks, boasting a .294 AVG/.354 OBP/.449 SLG in 245 at-bats, a significant sample size as far as these things go.
• Randy Wells, I still like you, I promise. But you burned me and anyone who listened to me (I'm sorry!) in your latest start, allowing three home runs. Now you've allowed 10 walks and six home runs in your past four starts (21 2/3 innings). We will meet again in the (hopefully near) future, but for now you're unplayable.
Now batting
Hitter matchup ratings for Aug. 17
Hitter ratings account for the opposing starting pitcher's past history (three years' worth as well as past 21 days) as well as ballpark factors. "LHB" and "RHB" ratings account only for left- and right-handed batters, respectively.
Hitters' count:
Russell Branyan, 1B, Mariners: He's just a one-trick pony, but a home run is a pretty good trick, right? He has a solid shot at going deep Tuesday versus Kevin Millwood, a right-hander he's gone 2-for-8 with a pair of home runs against.
David Ortiz, DH, Red Sox: Ortiz may be 0-for-8 the past two seasons against Jered Weaver, but his career numbers are still solid, with Big Papi going 7-for-23 (.304) with two homers and a double. He's in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, and he's already gone deep twice and chipped in two doubles, so leave him active even against the major league leader in strikeouts.
Matt Diaz, OF, Braves: Diaz is 1-for-6 with three strikeouts against Scott Olsen this season, but that one hit did leave the park. He normally rakes against Olsen, going 12-for-31 (.387) with four homers and four doubles, so make sure to start him.
Carlos Lee, OF, Astros: Lee is 11-for-35 (.314) against Johan Santana in his career, and while you may not have batted much of an eye before the season because performances like that are expected of Lee -- it's pretty much the best you'll get nowadays. He's also gone deep three times, adding three doubles as well, so if you own him there's little reason not to play him.
Michael Cuddyer, 1B/3B/OF, Twins: Maybe John Danks should start intentionally walking Cuddyer, as the slugger is 20-for-41 (.488) against the southpaw, blasting five home runs as well as four doubles.
Pitchers' count:
Nick Swisher, 1B/OF, Yankees: It depends how desperate you are for power, as Swisher has taken Justin Verlander deep three times in 38 career at-bats. But he's also struck out 14 times, batting .184 overall, so is that home run power worth a sub-Mendoza Line average?
Johnny Damon, OF, Tigers: Still looking for his first home run or stolen base against a left-hander, it's doubtful it happens against CC Sabathia. Damon's 5-for-21 (.238) with zero extra-base hits or walks versus the southpaw.
Chone Figgins, 2B/3B, Mariners: With twice as many strikeouts (12) as hits (six), Kevin Millwood definitely has Figgins' number. Overall, Figgins is just 6-for-43 (.143) in his career against Millwood.
Raul Ibanez, OF, Phillies: He's faced Barry Zito quite a bit -- 47 at-bats to be exact -- but has as many strikeouts as hits (eight apiece). Four of his eight hits have gone for extra bases, including one home run, but that still leaves Ibanez with a paltry lifetime average of .170.
Jorge Cantu, 1B/3B, Rangers: Cantu has received a litany of bad matchups, and although you wish you could say it'd get better, the reality is this: Welcome to the AL. He'll face Matt Garza on Tuesday and it doesn't get any easier; Cantu is 1-for-11 (.091) with four K's against Garza lifetime.
Baseball Challenge Pick of the Day
Ichiro Suzuki, RF, Mariners: Batting better than .400 in his career against Kevin Millwood, Ichiro is a slam-dunk choice for Tuesday. He's 30-for-74 (.405) with seven extra-base hits, including two home runs, off Millwood.
Injury list: Out
Jacoby Ellsbury, OF, Red Sox (15-day DL, side)
Injury list: Day-to-day
Lance Berkman, 1B, Yankees (ankle)
Nelson Cruz, OF, Rangers (hamstring)
J.J. Hardy, SS, Twins (wrist)
Jason Heyward, OF, Braves (knee; probable)
Bobby Jenks, RP, White Sox (back)
Derrek Lee, 1B, Cubs (back)
Matt Lindstrom, RP, Astros (back)
Carlos Pena, 1B, Rays (foot): Pena was activated off the disabled list Monday.
Jose Valverde, RP, Tigers (abdomen)
Weather concerns
Three contests will be weatherproof: the Rangers-Rays, Mets-Astros and Reds-Diamondbacks.
Kansas City (Indians-Royals) is virtually guaranteed thunderstorms, and possibly a delay or postponement. Atlanta (Nationals-Braves) is also at risk of scattered storms.

So many pool options
Non swimable oceanfront
I liked the free shuttle to and from the airport. There's also a free shuttle from the resort to a shopping center in Lihue. It was helpful to go to the grocery store there and get snacks instead of solely relying on Resort food, which was good but it gets pricey. The property was big and not overly crowded. It was my first time on the Island (February 2016) so I don't know if crowds change during the rest of the year. The staff was friendly and helpful anytime I had requests/questions.
You absolutely need a car unless you plan to spend the entire time lounging at the resort. I did manage to walk along the beach heading North to Lydgate Park. From there I was able to hike even further North to Kapaa and the Kauai Eastern trail. I absolutely did not mind the walk but it is a looong walk (more than 10 miles). Also, there were a lot of hotel taxes. Not sure how their prices compare to other areas of the island, but I'd look elsewhere when I visit Kauai again. I didn't have a car but there where even more taxes for every night of having a car.
Facilities are more intimate than the neighboring mega resorts (Hyatt / Marriott). Top notch service with great amenities. Rooms are well appointed and the beds are some of the most comfortable we'd ever slept in (and we travel A LOT). Pool is quiet and very relaxing. Beaches are steps away and provide a relatively quieter experience than the surrounding beaches.
Restaurant is overrated and overpriced. Just tries too hard to be something it isn't. Pool bar is wonderful, but drinks are a bit pricey ($14-16 avg)...that said, they are delicious and the bar tenders are great (shout out to Jamie!). Not much to complain about here, this resort it top shelf.
The location was great and we wound up in a garden view room which was really nice.
Front desk staff was not great.
My flight didn't leave until 10:30pm I was only able to extend my checkout until noon.
Beautiful grounds...well designed...incorporated gardens/views at every turn....self parking & in room internet included...departure lounge allowed post check out showers before late flight...friendly helpful staff...nearby cliffs with walking/hiking path
Beach is not safe for swimming....good for surfing
Hotel is on par with a Four Seasons. Everything was perfect.
The room was large and exceptionally clean. Enjoyed the private verandah off our room with beautiful plantings creating privacy. Lovely pool area and continental breakfast. Staff were very attentive and because our room was ready, they were kind enough to let us in much earlier. They have SPECIAL SPECIAL rates for all of Kauau's activities. You'll enjoy this boutique hotel. We'll certainly be back.
Towels for pool were too small and worn. Fluffy towels are good.
Very unique, quaint hotel. Clean room, very friendly staff. It was nice that there were washers/dryers on site for laundry
Slightly off the beaten path, if you care about that (I don't). A/C unit was very loud. I had to shut it off, because it kept waking me up
It was so convenient; being in a excellent location. It was very clean and had modest physical replacements to a older quaint hotel. It I is nice to wake up with freshly made coffee in the lobby. Convenient parking. Quiet location for a good nights rest. Great price for modest hotel. Considerate staff
I liked how quiet it was for the overall stay.
I had to wait till 3pm to check in when I stated I would be there before noon.
Booked the resort because we were staying extra days after staying at a condo nearby. I thought it would just be like any other hotel. I was really surprised at how awesome the whole place was.
No microwave in the room. Would of been nice to reheat left overs from all the places we ate at.
Room 1190 and the staff.
The shower head was low. I,m 6'4" :)
Pool was great.
Too many young children.
We liked the location to the beach, and the value for the room. There are restaurants and shopping nearby.
It took a long time to get luke warm water for the shower, the rooms are small, but you can't beat the value of the rooms.
Everything! The greeting by the staff when we arrived (Hotel Employee was one of our favorite people working there) the surroundings, the putting green, pools, activities...wish we had stayed longer than 1 night!
Beautiful rooms and beautiful pool.
Guests who were leaving the island on late flight are given no way to clean up and prepare to travel. They need a facility with showers for changing at pool or some other way as many flights leaving the island are late night.

Writers Who Mean Business (TM) Message Board › Tips to Overcoming Writers Block
|A former member
Below are some tips for overcoming writers block. Some were pulled from the internet and others are from me. Feel free to add more!
1) Get your blood moving
Exercise is really good at getting blood moving through your brain and getting your creative juices flowing. Take a walk around your building, go the gym, do something active and when you return to your writing, you'll find your head will be much clearer.
2) Change your surroundings
If you've got a laptop, take it to the roof of your building (if you're able) or outside to a park and you may find swapping surroundings works wonders. It is very possible to become too distracted in your office or home to get good writing done. For your best writing, you need focus, and if you go somewhere with the sole intention of getting one piece of writing done, you'll be productive as you'll leave the distractions such as your phone or email (don't bring your iPhone) at your usual place of work.
3) Unplug the Internet
This is similar to step two but applies when you can't get away from your desk but need focus. The web is a big distraction when you want to get good writing done – close Facebook, turn off Twitter and stop checking your site analytics. In fact, just unplug the Ethernet cable or turn off your wifi altogether and you'll really start to focus. I am more connected than any person should be, but good writing or beating writer's block requires you to disconnect.
4) Listen to some music
This may not work at the office, but if you're a blogger and you work on the weekend the right music is highly inspirational. I recommend electronic/jazz/classical music, nothing with overt vocals to distract your thoughts — just some nice creative instrumentals to push you along in a good direction.
5) Start what you're stuck on first thing in the morning
Open what you are stuck on first thing in the morning just as you're getting to work. Don't start reading emails/checking voicemail and go into reaction mode – be proactive in tackling your writing. You can actually get you best work done if you start with the most complex and work your way to the easier stuff.
6) File it for later
If it's not due soon, sometimes the best thing to do is to work on other things and ponder your approach. The angle you'd like to take may hit you in the middle of the night and your block on that project may end itself naturally, before you get frustrated.
7) Get some coffee
This is a quick solution if you don't have time to exercise. Despite what they say, caffeine is a great boost and will stir your mind. Just make sure what you're working on is the only thing open while you sip your coffee so you actually work on that project (many people tend to multi-task after coffee).
8) Outline it
Don't have anything down yet? No worries – just write the main points. Outlining your writing will break it up into easily manageable chunks. If you decide a section doesn't work, you can always kill it later. It's always easy to fill in the missing parts than stare at a blank screen.
9) Stop thinking about it and just start writing
In many cases, the best way to beat writer's block is just to start writing. The first graph or even the first sentence is sometimes the hardest. The more you get down, the easier it will be to continue…just be sure to edit later. Sometimes I just write "I don't know what to write, but I am writing anyway. I know my words will come to me as I write. I want to write about..." and eventually it begins to flow.
10) Don't force it
Just like you when you have insomnia you shouldn't try and force sleep, don't try to force writing when you're truly stuck. The outcome is the same in both cases – frustration. If you really can't get writing and you've tried everything it may just not be your day. And that's okay, no one can be successful with creative tasks every day…it may be a day to focus on a more technical project.
11) Read some blogs/articles/books outside the scope of what you normally write
Reading material in the genre of what you're planning to write can actually make writers block worse, as it gives you the feeling everything has already been said. What helps more is to read content from people/subjects not in your field, as they see the world from a different perspective and will help you get inspired to write something unique.
12) Keep a digital or analog notebook with you 24/7
They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Coming up with compelling ideas to write about is sometimes the hardest challenge of all. But, if you've got an "idea pad" with you at all times, you can build up a reserve of good topics to draw upon as you need them. You're working proactively to prevent idea blocks in your writing. Inspiration usually strikes when you're not near your desk or actively working on things anyway, all creative's need to carry a digital or analog method of jotting down ideas.
13) Keep writer's block away by writing daily
Just like someone who is out of shape could not run a mile in a respectable amount of time, someone who doesn't write frequently will not be able to produce successful writing in a timely manner. You have to train your body to run, just like you must train your brain to write. And you become a faster runner and more proficient writer through repeated practice and perseverance.
14) Eat healthy food and snacks
Your brain requires proper nourishment to function at optimal levels. I actually notice my mental output is directly proportional to how healthy I am eating for the week. Load up on protein, foods rich in antioxidants, juices, fresh fruits and nuts, vegetables, and smoothies – you'll not only feel better, your writing will be stronger as that generally reflects your mood (whether you're conscious of it or not).
15) Try taking a nap
If you're tired, you're more likely to suffer writer's block than if you're well rested. Seven hours of sleep a night is minimum in my mind for optimum levels of successful brain-processing, however if you need to get through your writer's block ASAP sometimes a quick nap will reset your brain. Try the caffeine nap – it is scientifically proven to work.
The Caffeine Nap is simple: you drink a cup of coffee and immediately take a 15-20 minute nap. Researchers found coffee helps clear your system of adenosine, a chemical which makes you sleepy. The combination of a cup of coffee with an immediate nap chaser provided the most alertness for the longest period of time in tests. The recommendation was to nap only 15 minutes, no more or less and you must sleep immediately after the coffee.
16) Create Sacred Space
If what you are writing about is particularly dark, deep, depressing or scary it can contribute to writers block. I recommend you create a sacred space where you go to write. While you are in that space, let the feelings fly. When it is time to emerge from your writing, you can leave all of those emotions in that space for your next writing session.
17) Create a Writing Trigger
Create a small ritual or action that acts a trigger to your brain, letting it know it's time to write. For example: I have a red hat that says 'Author' on it. When I sit down at my computer or laptop and place that hat on my head my brain knows it's time to write.
