Comments: Dead, dead, dead. Came back into tennis and tried to go with something recommended/value. Entered a
tournament, started hitting balls, couldn't get the ball to to do anything but drop 5 feet ahead. I can see cuts and precision being
possible due to stiffness. Strung on whatever the new(er) 2014 Pure Control is at 53 lbs and another similiar racquet. When I tried to
curl into a starting ball with more force, the ball simply pinged toward the corner. I got a loaner from the club visited some racquets
with a bigger head and some light green string that played a little bit more lively and actually find my kickserve with it. This string is
stiff and dead. Realized I got much more pocketing/control from the Crossfire Kevlar hybrid before this that eventually broke. So
control? This string gave me no control because it was so stiff, I felt like I was playing cricket. If I didn't believe in my abilities I
would've forfeited. The newer string and racquet played better, and despite my rehab, this Savage black forced a totally different
style of faster ,fuller swings and I still couldn't get it playable.

Comments: I love this string, I've been using this in my Babolat Pure Drive for the past 4 years now at about
57 lbs and have been playing some of the best tennis in my High School career. I find that it gives me lots of power which I
love, but also lots of control. Definitely a great one to try.
From: Dylan, 11/16
Comments: This really is a great string! Had the same set in my V98 for two years and they still look fine. Just
about to put a set of limes in my Head Pro. I really am surprised how many people have said they snap? Regards to
tension, I like mine at 55 lbs, so if get them strung at 56 lbs and they will drop to 55 after a month.
From: Scott, 4/16
Comments: Great string. I use this in a Wilson Prostaff 97LS. Mains with black savage and the lime in the
crosses. Great combo. Black is stiffer and powerfull. Lime has more comfort. There is a real difference between these two
colors. Also the white has more comfort. I am a gravel player and this combo gives me good spin and control. Perhaps
have to add a little more leadweight for netplay. Very nice groudstrokes with enough power and easy depth.
I tried out a lot of different strings but this combo is the best for me.
From: Jim, 12/15
Comments: Great string, lots of bite. I used the green color. I played three sets of doubles tonight and my arm
feels great. It was a demo racquet strung in August with Savage in the mains and NXT in the crosses, which were fraying
and I thought the tension was still good.
From: Anonymous, 11/15
Comments: Felt great. Good balance of spin, power, and control. I typically use Big Banger Rough and
Cyclone. It feels a lot like Cyclone to me. But, it's not as durable as either of those for me. It broke in 5 hours and started
like synthetic gut after about 3-4 hours.
From: Ben, 7/13
Comments: Just started playing with Luxilon Savage Lime. I tried the Lime and the Black, but for me the Black
just a little to much dead, while the Lime was a bit more lively. I stung it in my Head Youtek Radical Lite (also in the Pro,
which I'm
changing to) and it really gave me a lot of control for the powerful racquet and no arm pain at all! Love this string -- loads
control and great spin and a great price.
From: Cameron, 7/13
Comments: This string is pretty good. I've hit with ALU pretty much the whole time it has been out. This string
doesn't have as much control or feel, but matches pretty even in power and spin. I may switch to this string if they stopped
making ALU. But overall, good job Luxilon with another great string. And, this string is pretty durable. I can usually go 2
without it breaking. Which, for me, is very very good. When I have ALU in, it usually breaks in the middle of the second set
in my
first match. If you are looking for an affordable string, this is the one for you, but I still would go for ALU if you want to
spend a
little extra. Thank you for reading!
From: Chase, 5/13
Comments: I really enjoyed this string. It has great spin, especially on serves, and it has awesome fell on
shots. I would recommend stringing the Luxilon Savage on the mains, and have a more power oriented string on the
Overall, I would give it a 8/10
From: Isaac, 4/13
Comments: Average poly. Everything was pretty much average except the feel and comfort. The feel wasn't
there as this was a dead feeling poly.
The first 2-3 hours before the strings notch are epic. Great spin, power, and
control. After that it drops off and becomes an average dead-feeling poly.
I also noticed the comfort was very good for a poly. It's softer than many
poly's I've tried. In comparison to Black Code, it's slightly more comfortable but
less spin and for me a better feeling. There is less "ping" to it.
Overall, it's an average string but dependable. I just wish I could access the spin
From: Gary, 1/13
Comments: In short, it's sort of the "Honda" of string, as it's pretty good all around but nothing stands out as
exceptional in a given area. In long, I strung a full bed (normally I do a hybrid of Solinco TourBite/Vanquish or ALU
Touch). This Lux string is good in comfort, spin, power, and feel, but not great or exceptional in any category (perhaps very
in comfort I'd debate). I cannot comment on durability. I'm not dying to cut them out after 8 hours, but I'm not excited to
them in either, and I'm debating to try other new strings I have on hand right away. I strung it in a Donnay Gold 94, and
the lime color at 49/52 lbs and the black color at 52/54 lbs, and I prefered the lower tension. String this higher and it will
From: Larry, 12/12
Comments: At first I thought this was a great string, with low power, fair spin, not bad kick off the serve, but I
disappointed in the tension loss from this string. I will keep on looking.
From: Anon, 10/12
Comments: I'm updating my comment (5/12), this string has every thing but is very low powered. It forcing me
string it at 55lbs instead of 60.
From: M.Z., 10/12
Comments: This string has played very well for me. The spin is good but my favorite thing about this string is
pocketing, feel, and control. It almost has a sticky feel to it when you strike the ball. Some have said it feels dead, which
it does if
you are not used to poly strings. I happen to like strings that are a little dead. I have also tried Black Code, Pro Hurricane
and Black Venom. This string seems to be softer than Babolat strings but not quite as soft as Black Code. I string it at 55
lbs on a
Pro Staff 100.
From: Geoff, 9/12
Comments: Nice, crisp solid feel when you first string it, and feels like that for a good while.
really does help with spin, which my 18x20 pattern needed. Strung it at 53lbs with synthetic
gut in the crosses. I give it a thumbs up!
From: Javier, 6/12
Comments: Not that good with low power and it doesn't have much spin and control. Softer than the big
banger but it isn't important with my P.S 6.1 95 wilson.
From: MZ, 5/12
Comments: This string is so much better than RPM Blast, it's not even
funny. It's so much better than Pro Redcode, it's not even funny. This
string, if you get my drift, is not even funny. When you hit that sweet
spot after a couple of break-in hits, it's like a heavenly explosion of
spin and power comes off your racket. This sensation not only resonates
off of the string bed, it also resonates in your soul. It's amazing.
And it's not even funny.
From: David, 2/12
Comments: If you really like Luxilon Alu Power, like me, and wanted to
try this string because you wanted to save a little money, don't buy
this. It is a good string, but it's not as crisp or as controllable as
Alu Power. Plus, it is not as durable.
From: Ben, 2/12
Comments: This is a great string! Gets great bite on the ball feels very solid and is very
durable, lots of people say it feels stiff, which it can if its strung too tight. If you string it at 54 or lower you will be
impressed, it
will grab the ball even more and feel great. Doesn't lose its bite after a week either like some, that's why its great at
tensions. Also FYI I ordered a
black reel and it felt a little different than the white and green... Don't ask me why but it did,
so I like the green/white.
From: Brent, 2/12
Comments: A lot of people say they love this string, I find it terrible. There are better strings for spin like
the best
one on the market Solinco TourBite. Not only is TourBite better than Savage in spin, but power and tension
maintenance and feel.
When I played with Savage, the string didn't give me a good response in terms of feel. Did I hit the sweet spot or did I
miss hit? I
couldn't tell because the string is so "dead." If you're JUST looking for durability and decent spin then Savage is for you.
Sure the
durability is good but if you're looking for
a combination of spin, soft feel, power, and durability there are better strings. I would recommend Weiss Cannon for
that perfect
combination of spin, feel, power, and durability or Solinco TourBite and BarbWire. In short, there are much better
strings on the
market for less money.
From: Lee, 1/12
Comments: I just tested this string today at 48 pounds on a Wilson K Blade 98 on a full string bed and I
have to say
to bite and pop I get off these strings are amazing to my regular set up. I use the Babolat RPM Blast on the mains at 53
Tecnifibre X-One Biphase at 51 lbs on the crosses and I find that with the Luxilon Savage I get more top spin, more bite
and more
control and consistency in depth compared to my regular set up. I am switching to these permanently.
From: William, 12/11
Comments: Just finished a hitting session with a full bed of Luxilon Savage strung at 25 kg. Compared to
Banger ALU Power it's more softer, which for me is great. I had nice access to both power and spin and great depth in
my shots,
from my two-handed backhand and my forehand. It doesn't have the same response on slices and volleys as Big Banger
Power. I felt my slices were less distinct and didn't have as much bite in them. However, for a frequent string breaker
like me, I
really liked this string because it's softer and pockets the ball well and I didn't feel any discomfort at all. The only
remaining before I stock up on this string is durability and how well it maintains string tension? Great buy for string
breakers who
want a softer string.
From: Mattias, 10/11
Comments: Luxilon Savage is definitely the string for me. This string lasts much longer than Babolat RPM
Blast, and
in my opinion, pockets much better, too. Savage is easier on the arm than RPM Blast, and gives more control and feel
than RPM
Blast. The spin factor is phenomenal. This string is worth a try if you want something cheaper and more long lasting
than RPM
From: Bob, 10/11
Comments: I love this string. I read the reviews here and tried it out. It did exactly what everyone has
been saying.
The string is a softer string which pretty much fixed my tennis elbow problem, which I've been experiencing for the
past couple of
years. The Big Banger ALU 16 is a great string but I definitely get a better feel with the Savage strings. I can control my
shots with
ease and still have the power like the Big Banger ALU 16 and its actually cheaper to purchase. I highly recommended.
From: CK, 9/11
Comments: This is a good string. I prefer it over Babolat RPM Blast 17. I felt it has a bit more power and
spin. Also,
it was a little less stiff compared to the RPM, which I needed to hybrid to get around the stiffness issue. Happy with a
full bed of
Savage in my Wilson Pro-Staff 88.
From: Sitparan, 8/11
Comments: This is an awesome string. It has less power and bite than Luxilon Big Banger ALU Power, but
that is
because it is a much less stiff string. That being said, you get much more feel and control than Big Banger. I also feel
that it has
just a bit less spin potential than Big Banger.
From: Anon, 7/11
Comments: I use a full bed of this string and I like the feel of it. I have never had a problem with the
strings moving
out of place since I got them about three months ago. I want to try a hybrid with Babolat Xcel Premium though to try to
the stiffness of this string. Overall, a very good string.
From: John, 7/11
Comments: Average string, low power, average spin- tried this based on friends advice. I normally use
RPM at 57 in
APD non cortex. Very stiff compared to RPM 16g, let my arm aching. I play open tourneys in FL on clay in the heat, so it
took its
toll on my arm after a 3 hour match. I'm sticking with RPM, this string might lose its tension faster but it's better than a
sore arm.
From: Charlie, USTA 5.0 Open player. 6/11
Comments: Luxilon Savage is a great string that does not break as easily as other people have stated.
The string
offers great control, great for drop shots and precise shots down the line. The string does offer some spin and does
offer some
pop, a step down in power from Luxilon Adrenaline but far more control. I have ordered to have 4 raquets strung with
Sensation at 60 pounds and Luxilon Savage at 58 pounds. This string is highly addictive, a string you would like if you
like a hard
string feel. This string is not soft really but a hard string that gives you great control. Luxilon Savage is a players string
anybody who likes to make precise shots.
From: Mario. 6/11
Comments: Great string! I play every day and this string really "bites" the ball. I can hit with more power
and spin
than I did with Pro Hurricane. Also, the string is very durable; it lasted nearly three months for me.
From: Hunter. 5/11
Comments: I just got my Babolat AeroPro Drive Cortex strung with this and Prince
synthetic gut and I could feel the power, control and spin! This string is a very good string!
From: Tyler. 5/11
Comments: After two days of hitting with Savage Lime it offers massive spin potential if you have the
strokes. I felt I
could take big cuts and keep the ball in the court. Also, no pain in the elbow, always a good thing.
From: David, Bakersfield, CA, USA. 5/11
Comments: When comparing to RPM Blast, I definitely found more control. It's not that jarring on your
arm, and I
string it at 61 or 62 lbs. Really a good string if you're looking a something comparable to Pro Hurricane or RPM Blast. I
would go
with this one, though I think it isn't as durable.
From: Ashok Dheenan, Cincinnati, OH, USA. 5/11
Comments: Great string! I kind of made a split-second decision when I was asked what string and
tension I wanted
on my new Rebel but I choose this because of the name. I got it strung at 53lbs with Gosen OG Micro 17 in the
crosses. After an
hour or so these strings felt great. Awesome pocketing, pop, and even control. However for me spin seemed to be
lacking. I can
flatten out serves and forehands but I struggle to keep me forehand deep with a good amount of spin. It either lands
short and
heavy or just out. Other than that, a great string and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to try out a
nice, soft
From: Anon, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. 4/11
Comments: Was using full bed of Luxilon Ace in Vantage 95 and really liked it. Just to experiment I
strung up an
identical racquet with Genesis Natural Gut/Luxilon Savage Lime and just love it, the Savage Lime makes a great cross
string. I may
switch to this even though I prefer full bed of Poly in most cases, the Natural gut/Savage comb has just as much spin
potential as
the full bed of Ace and just Fantastic Feel.
From: Rudy, Glenwood, NM, USA, 03/11
Comments: This is NOT a soft string, but I must say it is a very good string; it is more like a 17 and not a
16, which
is a good thing. I strung it at 51 lbs on my mains and I could have drop it down to 45-48 and still been ok. I do like
the string,
was able to hit every shot. This string could be use on both main and crosses, If you like Luxilon strings you are going
to like this
one. If I would have strung it at 60 lbs I am guessing it would have hurt my elbow.
From: Peanut, PA, USA, 03/11
Comments: I've hit with the savage lime for the past 3 weeks. Having used pretty much every Luxilon out
there, I
expected good bite & action on the ball. It was good but nothing exceptional like I've seen with alu rough or big banger
ace but
still better than M2 & Fluoro. It feels softer and has more feel than most Luxilon strings. I have no elbow pain with this
string as I
have had with every Luxilon string except for M2 & Fluoro. It doesn't have quite the bite or pop of big banger alu or ace
I feel is a
better alternative to M2 or Fluoro if you're looking for a more arm-friendly string.
From: Tom, Houston, TX, USA, 02/11
Aeropro drive @ 56 lbs 4.5 rating
Comments: This is an excellent string. Dude at the local shop said it was designed to compete with
Babolat's RPM
Blast, but after playing both, this one wins the honor. Soft on the arm, rough on the court and ball. Good feel, great
pop. I'm
making the switch permanently.
From: Mr. Chin, Laguna Niguel, CA, USA, 02/11
Comments: Set up Babolat vs touch cross and Luxilon savage main 58/58 (Aero Drive GT). Comparing
to other
rackets with a full bed of natural gut @ 58/58, touch and feel is similar but the savage set up gives considerable spin
and bite to
the ball.
From: GS, Vancouver, BC, Canada, 02/11
Comments: I was looking for a softer poly and my friend recommended Lux Savage. I have it (Savage
Black) in my
mains with a Wilson Sensation 16 cross. It's strung at 50/52lbs. The string bed feels soft and I can generate more spin
compared to a full set of Sensation 16. I like this set up for everything except backhands, which seems to fly once in a
while. This
set-up feels great on volleys. It's less stiff than the Lux Alu Power 17/Wilson Sensation 16 combo I have in my other
which is strung at 48/52lbs. This combo feels like I can generate more spin though. But, if you're looking for
something soft...try
the Savage
From: Mitchell, Los Angeles, CA, USA, 02/11
Yonex RD Ti-80
Comments: 1st hit today. I have Savage in my mains, NXT in the crosses. I did not see as much spin as I
Also hits seemed dead if I missed the sweet spot. The big positive was no elbow pain. I will update if anything

Nathan Wehrly. My ex boyfriend.
My one-time friend.
Now the guy who wants to make
out that I think the world revolves
around me. Well, here's the deal.
I. Don't.
In fact, I think I'm the least important
person on the planet. I feel like I mean
nothing to anyone, like I can never be
truly loved. I might be a "drama queen"
or a "dramatic" person, but fuck you,
that's the way I am.
I hate your fucking guts, Nathanael Wehrly,
and I'm so glad I never have to see your
face again. You said you loved me, then you
dumped me and tried to bring me down.
When that failed, you decided to play with
my head and make everything go topsy-turvy.
Well, here's some breaking news for you.
You can't do that any more.
Stop playing with my mind -
nobody's answering your calls any more.

There is iconoclasm in the excessively intellectual, and they delight in destroying their dearest moral or sentimental idols, the better to prove their strength.
We live in an age which eschews sentimentality as if it were a good deal more than the devil. (Actually, of course, a writer may be just as sentimental in laying undue emphasis on sexual crimes as on dying mothers: sentimental, like scientific, is an adjective that relates to method, not to matter.)Randall Jarrell
I notice that I'm getting more sentimental as I get older; I feel I owe it to myself somehow.Quoted in John Haffenden Novelists in Interview (1985).
Were I to deduce any system from my feelings on leaving Eton, it might be called The Theory of Permanent Adolescence. It is the theory that the experiences undergone by boys at the great public schools, their glories and disappointments, are so intense as to dominate their lives and arrest their development. From these it results that the greater part of the ruling class remains adolescent, school-minded, self-conscious, cowardly, sentimental, and in the last analysis homosexual.cyril connolly
Like all weddings it had left the strange feeling of futility, the slight sense of depression that comes to English people who have tried, from their strong sense of tradition, to be festive and sentimental and in high spirits too early in the day. The frame of mind supposed to be appropriate to an afternoon wedding can only be genuinely experienced by an Englishman at two o'clock in the morning.Ada Leverson
It was perfectly clear to me that this order spelled the death of millions of people. I said to Eichmann, 'God grant that our enemies never have the opportunity of doing the same to the German people', in reply to which Eichmann told me not to be sentimental; it was an order of the Fuhrer's and would have to be carried out.dieter wisliceny
As far as learning was concerned, Marx was, and still is, incomparably more advanced than I. I knew nothing at that time of political economy, I had not yet rid myself of my metaphysical observations... He called me a sentimental idealist and he was right; I called him a vain man, perfidious and crafty, and I also was right.karl marx
Got my ticket at the airport Well I guess I've been marking time I've been living in another country That operates along entirely different lines Keep me away from porter or whiskey Don't play anything sentimental it'll make me cry I've got to go back my friend Is there really any need to ask why?van morrison
In the study of ideas , it is necessary to remember that insistence on hard-headed clarity issues from sentimental feeling , as if it were a mist, cloaking the perplexities of fact . Insistence on clarity at all costs is based on sheer superstition as to the mode in which human intelligence functions. Our reasoning grasps at straws for premises and float on gossamer for deductions.Alfred North Whitehead
Thanksgiving provides a formal context in which to consider the instances of kindness that have enlightened our lives, for moments of grace that have gotten us through when all seemed lost. These are fine and sentimental subjects for contemplation.Jon Carroll, San Francisco Chronicle [2] (24 November 2005)
In an effort to create reality on the ground - instead of reporting on it - the American media seem to color events by refracting them through a sickeningly sentimental prism."Media's Sickening Sentimentality on Egypt," WorldNetDaily.com, February 19, 2011.
I am deeply touched not as deeply touched as you have been coming to this dinner, but nevertheless it is a sentimental occasion.John F. Kennedy, remarks at a fund-raising dinner, Salt Lake City, Utah (September 23, 1960); reported in Freedom of Communications, final report of the Committee on Commerce, United States Senate (1961), part 1, p. 355; Senate Rept. 87–994.
Smell is a strange sight. It evokes sentimental landscapes through a sudden sketching of the subconscious.Original: O olfacto é uma vista estranha. Evoca paisagens sentimentais por um desenhar súbito do subconsciente.
Who would have thought it would come to this? Stevens, my friend, my sentimental friend, my friiieeeEEEEE--Who: BOSS (John Dearth)
I desire to sever all connection with the Society of American Artists. In deference to some of its older members, who perhaps from sentimental motives requested me to reconsider my resignation last year, I shall explain... For the last three years my paintings have been rejected by you, one of them the Agnew portrait, a composition more important than any I have ever seen on your walls.Thomas Eakins, in Thomas Eakins: His Life and Work, p.130

Industrial sectors with sensitive requirements need extremely accurate measurements in their applications. These include oil and gas production, chemical and steel factories, power plants plus water-processing and waste disposal plants. Here the job is to parameterise values such as temperature, pressure, fill level, flow volume, weight or speed and then measure them as part of a continuous production process. For maximum accuracy, external influences must be eliminated and measurement values must be transferred within the process chain without any errors – even over long distances.

|This one goes out to Jesse
Jesse, on your quiz you said "If three whole other people post to LJ within a few days, I'll be delighted enough to not have any preferences about who." I hope you didn't mean just posting about the quiz, because I don't think I can do that. Here's the short version: People call me Ali, I'm wearing the same damn black tights I wear every day til May, and three of my favorite drinks are Diet Coke from a soda fountain, Diet Coke in a bottle, and Diet Coke from a can, in that order.
But I will post!
I just got back from a writing conference in Denver, which was awesome even though it did include panels where the audience was greeted with a "Hello, spirits." Even though! I spent time mostly with Alaskan writers, and boy you think you hate Sarah Palin? You have no idea, people.
The end of my semester—and first year—of grad school is looming just a few days away. It both frightens and tantalizes me, kind of like the Southern Oracle in The Neverending Story. I've lined up a number of rewards for when I finally finish. They include:
•Tana French's new novel, Faithful Place, which is about big boss Frank from The Likeness.
•A bottle of Cabo Wabo Blanco tequila, which I was randomly sent at work today. No idea why. Also, the tequila company was founded by Sammy Hagar. So there you go.
•The Country Music Awards (or is it the AMAs? Whatever) at Sara's.
•A trip to Washington DC next weekend for a wedding and a trip to the Newseum! Finally! I have been wanting to see the Newseum for a long-ass time. Since before Tim Russert died, even, and now he's an exhibit there.
Oh, and friends! I will see you all again, I think. That'll be nice. But before all that I'll need to finish my semester with a bang, and also get over a nagging case of bronchitis (maybe?) I seem to have picked up. I keep saying it's allergies, but as I become closer and closer to pulling a Fee by breaking ribs from coughing, perhaps it's time to explore other diagnoses.
Hey, remember that time Duke won the National Championship? Good times.

Lil Wayne detained after marijuana found on buses
FALFURRIAS, Texas (AP) -- Authorities say Rapper Lil Wayne and 11 people with him have been briefly detained after U.S. Border Patrol officers found marijuana on two of his tour buses.
Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, and the others were questioned and released Friday night. Their case was referred to the Brooks County Sheriff's Office. A sheriff's spokeswoman told The Associated Press that she could not comment.
A drug dog initially detected narcotics on one of the buses, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Marijuana was found during secondary inspections, the agency says.
Lil Wayne's music manager Cortez Bryant and talent agent Cara Lewis have not immediately returned phone messages left at their offices.
Falfurrias is about 80 miles southwest of Corpus Christi.

Natural childbirth is a childbirth philosophy that believes in the capacity of women -- who have done sufficient preparation -- to give birth without medical intervention(s). When a woman enters the pregnancy and childbirth mindset, one of the most common terms that get thrown around a lot is natural childbirth. Choosing the manner in which a woman gives birth is a personal decision; a decision that only that particular woman can make.
There are women who have no problems with using an epidural, or undergo a caesarean section if their obstetrician deems it necessary. However there are women who feel differently about this and prefer natural childbirth (and the pain involved in the process) over the idea of getting an epidural. The women who do decide to take the natural route are usually discouraged by the people around them. Everyone would tell them about all the birth horror stories of women (in labor) screaming at their husbands, and hating them, and being told they would soon need pain medication.
So is it really possible to have a joyful, beautiful natural birth? Sure it is. The first thing that these soon-to-be moms must do is surround themselves with women who've had empowering birth experiences. They will learn a lot from these women, and will gain the courage and confidence they need. They should then do a bit of research -- reading books that teach women how to trust themselves and the process involved in natural childbirth. They can also watch videos that feature natural childbirth; these provide a visual blueprint that can help women visualize themselves giving birth, which prepares them mentally and emotionally for the big day. Lastly, they can attend classes devoted to natural birthing so they can be part of a structured environment and be able to interact with people who are going through the same things they are.

OSAKA, Nov. 16, Kyodo
Osaka on Wednesday authorized the operation of seven residential units in two buildings as tourist accommodation in the first such approval in the western Japan city.
The paid accommodation businesses, known as "minpaku" in Japan, were given the green light to start the same day at the authorized facilities, including one unit in an apartment building.
Under the government's efforts to accommodate the growing number of foreign visitors, the western Japan city is allowing the "minpaku" facilities in National Strategic Special Zones, deregulated areas designated by the government to revive the economy of Japan.
"I expect more foreign travelers will visit Osaka and I would like to submit application for the permission for five additional rooms this month," said Sonosuke Mikuchi, president of online reservation service company Tomareru Inc. which operates the "minpaku" apartments.
However, the number of applications for "minpaku" businesses in the city remains low, possibly because of the current minimum-stay requirement of six nights and seven days.
The requirement will be changed to two nights and three days from January or later.
The city started accepting the applications last month and has received them from three facilities, with one of the applications still being examined.
Under the city rules, operators of "minpaku" businesses are obliged to inform local residents they are providing paid accommodation for travelers, as well as give instructions for guests on garbage collection and other information in foreign languages.

It would certainly be alot easier to just "copy" an existing design, I am not sure what a company could do if a factory in China started pumping out very close copies of a popular kite like the Bandit or the RPM.
Poster: eree
..may be Epic should design its kites with their own resources, not to buy design from Momi..
edt wrote:KiteCulture wrote:I can't speak about board, but from what I can tell, there is actually less mark-up than kites. Not sure why the boards cost so much compared to wake boards.
Kiteboards weigh about half as much as wakeboards, a kiteboard will weigh about 5 pounds (2 kilos) a wakeboard 11 pounds (5 kilos). Wakeboards will be made of foam, wood core and PVC, but you can't do that with a kiteboard, the PVC is too heavy so they are made of wood core, epoxy and carbon. The Ronix code 22 is made of carbon, glass, wood, and lists for $600 without the bindings that is still $300 less than a kiteboard of comparable construction. There are a few entry level kiteboards made of PVC and wood, they are pretty cheap and awfully heavy retail for $350 or so.
I would say 50% of the additional cost is economies of scale the other 50% is having to use more expensive materials.
edt wrote:eree wrote:why else there would be so much kite brands?
oh that's an easy one to answer, the same reason there are so many restaurants. Everyone who loves to cook thinks "Dream job open a restaurant" they get to cook and make money on it! But what they don't know is that most restaurants fail. Opening a restaurant is like burning money except it smells better. Kiteboarding is the same, everyone thinks, "What if I just kited all day and I got paid because I make kites. Dream job!"
But people open restaurants all the time and they even get people to back them and finance it.
The profit margin can be razor thin people still want the job because it's a dream job.
Now you want to talk jobs with large profit margins let's talk about cleaning out septic tanks. Nobody wants to do that job, so it will have a huge profit margin.
People would want to make kites even if they barely broke even. If kite manufacturing was so profitable then windwing jn latitude genetrix freak dog kainam wipika wind griffin monkey windtech balance hana crew would still be making kites.
$200 for a kite, if they are that cheap to make why don't you start up a new company and then sell them for $400 make a ton of money you would become the best selling kite company overnight.
The only people who know for sure are the industry insiders and they are not talking.

The lack of neuraminidase 1, a protein that regulates the body's sugar absorption, was associated with insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes, according to a study in the journal Diabetes. "If we can remove sialic acid residues from the cell surface, this will force the insulin receptor do its job of absorbing blood sugar properly. This could give doctors an opportunity to reduce the use of insulin therapy, and might help to reduce the diabetes epidemic," said researcher Alexey Pshezhetsky.

Viewer's Guide: Toledo puts unbeaten record on line at Kansas
It's almost time to get the meat and potatoes of the college basketball season. We've had a great two months to start – including Saturday's two marquee games – but that was just an appetizer. Conference play is beginning in most leagues this week, but Monday brings about some interesting non-conference battles to close things out.
Note: All times are Eastern, and the rankings are according to the AP Poll.
Best game: Toledo at No. 16 Kansas (8 p.m., ESPN3). Could this be the end of the unbeaten run for Toledo? Or will be an eye-opener for the rest of the country that this could be a special year for the Rockets? Toledo is 12-0 so far, but the best wins are over Boston College, Stony Brook and Cleveland State, so the Rockets have continued to fly under the radar. Kansas is a slight step up in competition. The Jayhawks handled New Mexico and Georgetown in their last two games, although they haven't played in nine days. Toledo has been excellent offensively, but the Rockets' defense has left something to be desired. They need to defend the perimeter more effectively, while also keeping Kansas off the free-throw line.
Second-best game: Virginia at Tennessee (7 p.m., ESPN2). Two teams that could really use a win and some momentum heading into conference play. Virginia was expected to push for a top-four finish in the ACC, and while that's still certainly attainable, the Cavaliers haven't looked great so far. Meanwhile, Tennessee has lost two of its last three, and is only 7-4 on the season. Both teams need to start piling up some good wins to boost a potential at-large resume. On Monday, it's going to be a half-court battle. Virginia has to keep the Volunteers off the offensive glass, while the Cavaliers need to take care of the ball at the other end.
Another one to watch: Louisiana Tech at Oklahoma (8 p.m.). One of the quieter one-loss teams around the country is Oklahoma, which is off to an 11-1 start – with the loss coming on a neutral court to Michigan State. The Sooners don't have any marquee wins, although that could change with Texas-Kansas-Iowa State-Kansas State-Baylor to open Big 12 play. Louisiana Tech doesn't begin its first slate of Conference-USA play for another 10 days, but the Bulldogs are looking for a noteworthy win. Expect an up-tempo matchup, with both teams loving to push the ball on offense.
Guaranteed wins: Let's go to the Big 12 for a couple of expected victories. First, there's a nice early afternoon matchup between Rice and Texas (2 p.m., Longhorn Network). With a victory, the Longhorns will enter Big 12 play with an 11-2 record – better than most people anticipated heading into the season. At night, No. 7 Oklahoma State will move to 12-1 as Robert Morris comes to town (7 p.m., ESPNU). Are the Cowboys the Big 12 favorite?
Potential upset: After starting 6-0, Ole Miss has lost three of its last five, including a home defeat last Sunday to Mercer. The Rebels need to be on alert on Monday as well, as they take a trip to Western Kentucky (8 p.m., ESPN3). The Hilltoppers are 7-0 at home this season, highlighted by a win over
Three other things to keep an eye on:
- Both BYU and Saint Mary's are struggling, each losing three in a row. They need to bounce back on Monday night, with BYU at Pepperdine (10 p.m.) and Saint Mary's at Pacific (11 p.m.).
- Vanderbilt hasn't lost at home this season, but the Commodores face a tough test when Saint Louis comes to town (9 p.m., ESPNU).
- Charleston Southern has beaten only two D-I teams this season, but the Buccaneers are the likely Big South favorite. Can they hang with
Florida State(7 p.m., ESPN3)?
Other games to watch:
- Oral Roberts at No. 11 Baylor (8 p.m.)
- San Francisco at No. 24 Gonzaga (9 p.m., ROOT)

They don't really fix things. Water faucets always drip run. Can't split payments between multiple people. Pay Read More it all or nothing at all. If you don't pay within the first 2 days it will cost you a Convenience fee of 39 - 45 dollars. Hidden fees. Got charged 25 for Trash Valet and 12 additional for Trash Pick Up Office Hours are great if you don't have a normal 9-5 job. Otherwise they will always be close when you need to talk to them. Never there on Sundays.
For paying this much you can have a very nice apartment that would come with a washer dryer. A MICROWAVE yea fun thing to notice is gone a year 2000 Dish washer. and much more. I have no joy living here.

If you look at the ingredients of Vitamin Water 10 (owned by Coca Cola), you might be pleased to see that it contains the natural sweetener stevia. However, you will also notice that it is loaded with crystalline fructose, sucrose, and a mysterious product called Erythritol.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohols, a sweetener that does not provide as many calories as sugar. But the reason that sugar alcohols provide fewer calories than sugar is because they are not completed absorbed into your body. For this reason, high intakes of foods containing sugar alcohols can lead to abdominal gas and diarrhea.
Also, bear in mind that while sugar alcohols are lower in calories, gram for gram, than sugar, they are not calorie-free, and if eaten in large enough quantities, the calories can be comparable to sugar-containing foods.
Some sugar alcohols are reasonable to consume in moderate quantities -- for example, xylitol doesn't spike blood sugar levels in the way that high-fructose corn syrup might, and it is anti-bacterial and actually helps prevent dental cavities.

Unlucky as hell...
It's the "dark Tuesday" before Black Friday here at the Huber household...my husband and me are sitting at the table near the soft glow of a television newscast...it's all doom and gloom these days on the news...I'm surprised anyone can watch the news...job lay-offs, Iraq and Israel, destructive storms...the only safe place on the planet is on Pawn Stars...
Have you ever seen Pawn Stars on the television? It's a reality show about a pawn shop in Vegas, it's has three generations of family running it, and people coming in with all sorts of interesting crap I wouldn't look twice at a garage sale...but they march into this pawn shop with a ripped up toy expecting a big payday and sometimes they get one, but most of the time they don't...just like my last time through the Vegas airport...my husband loves the slots, and the nickel slots in particular, and he plopped himself in front of one of those machines with ONE DOLLAR. And he doesn't play the maximum amount either, he plays one nickel at a time...he handed me a ten...first time he didn't ask me "what do you want a ten for..." More like "here's a ten now stop bothering me..." If only that had worked for me as a kid...you know, the parent hands you a dollar if you'll go away for a while...not at my house...If you tried that with my dad he'd look at you with a ol' grin and ask you when was the last time you mowed the lawn...when you replied "it's been awhile," he'd reply "then it's your lucky day!"
Speaking of luck, I simply don't have any, that ten was gone in about 2 minutes and I was back at my husbands side, you know, the same place I left him...on a chair in front of the nickel slot machine...and he was still playing on that ONE DOLLAR...and he was up 30 cents! He handed me another ten and I lost 7 bucks in one minute on quarter slots...(damn Wheel of fotune! Has anyone ever won anything on that machine??? Really??? Liar!--wait that seems awful harsh, here you are nice enough to be reading this crap and I call you a name...quick, I take that back...howabout Vanna sucks! Better?)
I was too embarrassed to go back to my husbands side right away...and I still had 3 bucks...I had an awful dilema...what slot machine do I blow this wad of cash on? I'm looking around and there's my husband, playing away on his nickel slot machine...he's having a blast...So I go back to him and he informs me he's still on that same dollar he started on...and he's up a dollar 80! Of course I'm depressed, I just blew 17 bucks! My husband tries to comfort me in the best way he knows how..."I honestly thought you'd blow more!" Yeah, he's a real comedian. And no, it didn't cheer me up...thinking quick my husband hands over his dollar 80..."here you go...now you're only down 15.20..."
Me: "Wait a minute...don't you still have that other dollar, the one you've been playing on for a whole hour?"
Husband: "You don't think I'm gonna let you blow that too? You're unlucky as hell..."

Adapting Prices or Quantities in the Presence of Adjustment Costs?
It is often hypothesized that costs of adjusting both price and quantities may have important implications for the macroeconomic adjustment process, not least to nominal shocks. We analyse this in an explicit intertemporal general equilibrium model considering the empirically relevant case of fixed costs of adjusting prices and fixed and variable costs of adjusting quantities. We find that the presence of both price and quantity adjustment costs changes the response to shocks significantly. It is an implication that "small" shocks do not support the "menu-cost case" but rather both fixed prices and quantities (rationing). A numerical analysis based on available evidence on adjustment costs is used to illustrate the likelihood that the various adjustment patterns actually arise.

Finally, we have some clarity on the condition and future of Green Bay Packers receiver Greg Jennings. After missing four games this season, including the past three, Jennings revealed to reporters in Green Bay that he has a muscle tear in his abdomen and will undergo surgery next week.
Jennings and the Packers apparently feel confident he will return at some point this season, but Jennings didn't provide a timetable. He has already had one setback, in Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints, and surgery is probably his safest path to complete recovery.
In the meantime, the Packers have transitioned to a nice rotation of Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Randall Cobb in their three-man receiver sets. They still have veteran Donald Driver on their roster for depth should another injury occur, and eventually Jennings will re-enter the mix as well.
If nothing else, Jennings' injury has probably cemented his departure from Green Bay after this season. He is a pending free agent, and there were no known contract discussions even before the injury. Cobb's emergence has softened the blow considerably, and the Packers have some monster contract negotiations ahead of them with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and linebacker Clay Matthews, among them.

A volume in the series Contemporary Ethnography
View table of contents and excerpt
"An entirely unique and stunning ethnography. Shneiderman finds herself assisting the Thangmi's drive to manifest their distinctiveness and seek recognition. She manages a high-wire performance herself: one full of compassion, acute theoretical insight, exemplary balance, and respect for the sacredness of the quest—doing as much credit to ethnography as a craft as to the Thangmi as a people. Few have been as fortunate in their ethnographer as the Thangmi."—James C. Scott, Yale UniversityRituals of Ethnicity is a transnational study of the relationships between mobility, ethnicity, and ritual action. Through an ethnography of the Thangmi, a marginalized community who migrate between Himalayan border zones of Nepal, India, and the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, Shneiderman offers a new explanation for the persistence of enduring ethnic identities today despite the increasing realities of mobile, hybrid lives. She shows that ethnicization may be understood as a process of ritualization, which brings people together around the shared sacred object of identity.
"Brilliant and original, Rituals of Ethnicity traces how identity, ethnicity, and indigeneity are constructed by members of a marginalized group within different state structures. Arguing for the importance of often self-conscious rituals for mobilizing and objectifying ethnicity, Shneiderman shows how anthropology too can be marshalled for this project, recasting ethnography as a variety of ritualized performance."—Kirin Narayan, The Australian National University
The first comprehensive ethnography of the Thangmi, Rituals of Ethnicity is framed by the Maoist-state civil conflict in Nepal and the movement for a separate state of Gorkhaland in India. The histories of individual nation-states in this geopolitical hotspot—as well as the cross-border flows of people and ideas between them—reveal the far-reaching and mutually entangled discourses of democracy, communism, development, and indigeneity that have transformed the region over the past half century. Attentive to the competing claims of diverse members of the Thangmi community, from shamans to political activists, Shneiderman shows how Thangmi ethnic identity is produced collaboratively by individuals through ritual actions embedded in local, national, and transnational contexts. She builds upon the specificity of Thangmi experiences to tell a larger story about the complexities of ethnic consciousness: the challenges of belonging and citizenship under conditions of mobility, the desire to both lay claim to and remain apart from the civil society of multiple states, and the paradox of self-identification as a group with cultural traditions in need of both preservation and development. Through deep engagement with a diverse, cross-border community that yearns to be understood as a distinctive, coherent whole, Rituals of Ethnicity presents an argument for the continued value of locally situated ethnography in a multisited world.

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: Linda P, July 2016
Great way to see the island. Pilot was great and very knowledgable.
Reviewed by: Tom S, February 2016
The con first: the interior of the seaplane is a bit worn like a working plane. Also the pre-flight explanation though a good overview of your flight is done on a faded map with faded photos.
I was surprised how smooth the take off and landing was, and how the jerks and vibratinos seemed less intimidating with this plane. Ventilation was adequate via flightly open front windows. and the view from the middle of the plane was very good but I can't say about the back row as the windows seemed smaller. Views were occasisonally obstructed by parts of the wing struts?.
I've done more than 10 copter tours over various islands including O'ahu, but this seaplane tour was as fun and I saw and photogdraphed what I had hoped to. I must say that what there is to see is most interesting on Kauai as there are parts of O'ahu or even Maui that are not very interesting. This tour, counter-clockwise as the tours seems to be, is fun from the moment that plane starts its take-off run and viewing the airport and the habor as we climb.
The altititudes were 1500 to 2000 as we were able to listen to ATC clearances around the island. The view of Honolulu and Waikiki are quite breath-taking as you see the density of the area. Diamond Head and beyond reveal residential areas and beautiful coast lines. The tour becomes a little drab as we turned south before Haleiwa.... although the pilot had pointed our military places of interest along the windward side, a flyby of Haleiwa might have been interesting and some explanation. The central valley is a bit of a drag.
The flyby of Pearl Harbor was spectacular. One of my photos has been shared by over 600 people on the Pacific Historic Parks - Arizona Memorial Facebook page. This part of the trip was superior to my two copter tours.
I appreciated the pilot pointed out places of inerest and was accurate not feeling the need to entertain us. I recommend this tour and big thanks to John our pilot.

Best of NBA: Jaylen Brown, Celtics use 5-point possession to top Pistons
Best of NBA: Jaylen Brown, Celtics use 5-point possession to top Pistons
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Jaylen Brown sank a 3-pointer from the right corner while being fouled with 37.6 seconds remaining, part of a five-point possession for Boston that lifted the Celtics to a 104-98 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.
The Celtics were down 96-95 when Brown connected while being fouled by Marcus Morris. Brown missed the ensuing free throw, but Detroit couldn't come up with the rebound, and Tobias Harris was called for a loose-ball foul. Marcus Smart added two free throws to put Boston up 100-96.
Isaiah Thomas led the Celtics with 33 points. Andre Drummond had 17 points and 15 rebounds for the Pistons, but he went 1 of 11 on free throws and was taken out for some key possessions toward the end to prevent Boston from fouling him.
Lakers crushed by Spurs in first home game since front office shakeup
LOS ANGELES -- Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points and the San Antonio Spurs routed the Lakers 119-98 on Sunday in Los Angeles' first home game since Magic Johnson took over the franchise's basketball operations.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 16 points for the Spurs, who have won four straight and nine of 11.
Pau Gasol added 15 points against his former team, and the Southwest Division leaders had little trouble with the Lakers, who have lost four straight and 15 of 19.
Five days after owner Jeanie Buss put Johnson in charge of basketball operations, the Lakers' dismal season still hasn't changed much, although new Lakers acquisitions Corey Brewer and Tyler Ennis got limited playing time.
Rookie Brandon Ingram scored a season-high 22 points as the Lakers fell to 19-41, ensuring their fourth consecutive non-winning season (see full recap).

NHL trade notes: Kings get Bishop from Lightning, Wild land Hanzal from Coyotes
NHL trade notes: Kings get Bishop from Lightning, Wild land Hanzal from Coyotes
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings acquired goalie Ben Bishop from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday in a trade including goalie Peter Budaj and an exchange of draft picks.
The Kings will pair Bishop with Jonathan Quick in a remarkable veteran goaltending tandem down the stretch of the regular season. Quick returned only Saturday from a 59-game absence with a serious groin injury.
The Kings gave up Budaj, junior defenseman Erik Cernak, a 2017 seventh-round pick and another conditional pick. Los Angeles received Bishop and Tampa Bay's 2017 fifth-round pick.
Both teams are scrapping to get into playoff position over the next six weeks. The Kings (30-27-4) are just outside the second wild-card berth in the Western Conference, while the Lightning (27-25-8) are seven points back of a playoff spot (see full story).
Report: Wild get Martin Hanzal from Coyotes
A person with knowledge of the trade says the Minnesota Wild have acquired Czech center Martin Hanzal from the Arizona Coyotes.
The person spoke to The Associated Press Sunday on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced. Details on the return to Arizona were not immediately available.
Hanzal was considered one of the top rental players available ahead of Wednesday's NHL trade deadline. The 30-year-old pending unrestricted free agent has 16 goals and 10 assists in 51 games this season and 313 points in 608 NHL games, all with the Coyotes.
The move signals an aggressive approach from the Wild, who lead the Central Division and Western Conference by three points over the Chicago Blackhawks.
