The Kryptonite KryptoLok Series 2 Standard U-Lock combines the security of a U-lock with the versatility of a cable lock. With this lock, feel confident that your frame and rear wheel are fastened to the rack while the cable adds a deterrent to your saddle and front wheel, or maybe a pannier or two. It's our favorite U-lock for ease of use, with a bent-foot design that makes locking up a breeze. This lock has been around for a while, and it's nearing classic status; secure yet straightforward and iconic yet well-designed. The Series 2 won our Best Buy award for providing good quality at a more than decent price.
Kryptonite KryptoLok Series 2 Standard U-Lock Review
Compare prices at 3 resellers Pros: Secures both wheels, low weight for a U-lock, inexpensive, easy to use, good security to price ratio
Cons: Cable is awkward to transport, rattles
Manufacturer: Kryptonite
Our Verdict
Our Analysis and Test Results
Kryptonite's KryptoLok Series 2 is a mid-sized and mid-security U-lock that comes with a 4' cable and a mounting bracket to attach the U-Lock on your frame.
Performance Comparison
Our Best Buy award-winner received a Silver ranking from Sold Secure, an independent security testing organization that ranks approved products in Bronze, Silver and Gold categories. It also has a 2 out of 5-star rating from the Dutch organization ART. You might be wondering how U-locks could be separated into different categories since they are all pretty solid. Our Editors' Choice winner, the Kryptonite New York Standard U-Lock, earned a Gold ranking from Sold Secure (and 4 of 5 stars from ART) and the difference, as our tests have shown, is primarily in the locking mechanism. The New York Standard locks in both sides of the "U" and locks them so tightly that even after we used a grinder to cut through the lock, it was necessary to use a hammer to get the lock ends off the bike rack. Different bike racks or lock up scenarios require a thief to cut the U-lock twice.
The Series 2 resisted bolt cutters and a hacksaw and succumbed to the angle grinder's wheel in 39 seconds, which was about ten seconds longer than it took to cut through the Armbar Combo and ABUS Granit X-Plus 540. The Series 2 has one end of the "U" bent to make it easier to use (the "bent foot" is placed into the shackle first, then is used as leverage to secure the other side.) Even though this makes the lock easier to use (and what helps make it less expensive), it also means that a single cut from a grinder disables the lock. We gave the Series 2 Standard U-Lock a solid security rating regardless because the lock is solid and protects your bike well in most circumstances. Kryptonite also offers a $1,750 bicycle theft protection program, which indicates that they are willing to back this lock.
The 4' cable that is included with the U-lock should be viewed as a cumbersome step that deters a bike thief from choosing your bike, but it won't stop a thief with almost any cutting tool. Our security testing destroyed the cable with many different devices bike criminals are commonly found carrying, in as few as 2 seconds. That said, we liked that the loose cable could be thrown into your backpack if you knew you were going to leave your bike in a sketchy situation and wanted extra security. Part of theft deterrence is making your bike appear tougher and more time consuming to steal. Locking up with a cable and U-lock combo achieves that. The cable could also be a part of your everyday commuting kit whereby you lock up your front wheel without having to take it off.
Ease of Transport
Kryptonite includes its FlexFrame U bracket for you to install on your bike frame and mount your U-lock whenever you ride. While the cable can be connected to the U-lock and mounted, because it is non-coiled, it often came loose. A better idea is to put the lightweight cable in your backpack or pannier and secure the U-lock to the frame. This model is more lightweight and easier to transport than competing budget U-locks.
We know from experience that bomber bike locks sometimes come with lesser quality mounting brackets as if they are an afterthought. Our testers were suspicious of the webbing strap that holds the bracket in place; it seems that a piece of equipment holding 3 lbs of steel needs to be more burly to last. These brackets are replaceable, of course, and the convenience of mounting your bike to the frame is paramount. Throughout testing, though, this mount held its own and never failed us. When comparing this piece to the OnGuard Bulldog DT, the style of the OnGuard bracket was easier to mount and take off your lock, but it wasn't streamlined with the bike frame. It often brushed against our legs and impeded pedaling when moving fast. The Series 2 did rattle somewhat on bumpy rides. The ABUS Granit X-Plus 540 comes with our favorite U-lock mount, but it costs three times the price.
Ease of Use
The Series 2 Standard U-Lock is super easy to use. The bent foot of the "U" technology creates a hinge for you to put the straight side of the "U" shackle into the locking crossbar. The mounting bracket was also easy to install. Kryptonite includes an Allen wrench for installation and removal of the mount, which takes less than a minute on nearly any round frame. Make sure not to lose the wrench to tighten and adjust the mount as needed. It will loosen over time.
We liked this style's usability better than the dual locking mechanism of the OnGuard Bulldog. While more burly (and expensive) U-Locks require both ends to lock for security purposes, OnGuard's mid-range Bulldog dual locking function doesn't necessarily support its security rating (when cut, the Bulldog pulls apart easily). Therefore, we deem Kryptonite's bent foot technology as an innovative touch that boosted the ease of use rating.
The ability to lock up all removable parts of your bike is important in a variety of situations. Unlike products like the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit U-Lock Mini, the Series 2 Standard U-Lock and OnGuard Bulldog come with 4' braided steel cables (with a plastic coating). These cables can be used to thread through wheels, saddle, panniers, trailer, or whatever you want to have a lock on.
These lock packages solve the problem of the pesky front wheel situation, whereby you don't want the hassle of taking it off every time you park your bike. You could even do away with the quick release tire skewers to further deter the opportunist thief.
This lock won the Best Buy award for being affordable yet well designed. The Series 2 is an all-around user-friendly bike lock with plenty of security for most people. If there is anything we learned from testing these locks, it was that it doesn't make sense to go with the cheaper cable locks. Spend the money once, make it a habit to lock your bike all the time, and keep your bike (and bike lock) yours. Especially with Kryptonite's bicycle protection offer, you can't go wrong here.
Kryptonite offers a good thing with a great price in the KryptoLok Series 2 U-Lock. It earned our Best Buy award for combining usability, transportability, and giving users the option of locking up their entire bike…all at an entry-level price.

1 pointWent to Calico last weekend and finally got around to cleaning the motorhome today. Went and dumped the thing and proceeded to watch these folks wash the entire motorhome while people were in line. Then I demolished my ankle. Took a step off the motorhome stairs and miscalculated the distance. Can't put much weight on it and it's black and blue. Tomorrow we're walking a 5k in support of my son who's recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Andrew
1 pointWas it hauling a RZR?
1 pointMy decades old Jamar disc brake setup had 100% aluminum hats. Decades of re-torquing the axle nut has taken its toll: The axle nut spacer has embedded into the hat far enough that I'm tightening the axle nut against the splines instead of the outer bearing. Machining a hardened grade 8 1" washer to 30mm at work to act as a load spreader and keep the spacer from eating the hat.

1 pointThe Honda has sold
1 pointA full day included a visit to the classic "Fish Market" and then, inside the Imperial Palace. I know, how did I manage that? I know a guy that knows a guy. Yes, it rained a bit that am. The Imperial Palace used to have two moats. One Inner, and one Outer. The outer moat has been filled in and built up.. However, the inner moat is still in use.
1 pointSo here's the story 13 years later. I still own the car and have made 5-7 trips every season since we built it. I started with a Turnkey 450 hp LS changed, to a 550 hp after 2 seasons. That motor blew up but Turnkey made it right with a refund. I put an FRE Zilla compression motor in to follow that. It hit 826 hp on the dinoThat motor is in the car today and is now tuned for e-54. Through all of this the Albins has been the one constant. I've replaced the 2 gear sincro once and that's it. I've been through too many CV's to count, a few cracks in the frame and lots of other minor issues that you expect, but the that tranny had been awesome. If you're thinking about a build or buying a used car you won't be disappointed if you get an Albins.
1 pointDON~~~
1 point<Spoiler> Hiroshima was amazing. Humbling, sad and beautiful. </Spoiler> We had arranged to visit "Ground Zero", the "Peace Memorial" a primary school, and peace museum. The first picture is the "Dome" a civic building that was directly under the blast. The copper roof was melted and the blast went down and out the windows, saving the walls. Three hundred yards from ground zero a primary school was 90% destroyed. Normally, tourists are not allowed here. We did arrange for a tour, let by a survivor and his translator. Concrete saved the walls, but all else was melted. What looks like colored streamers are actually thousands of origami "Dragons" a symbol of peace forever. The diorama was in the basement, and part of the tour. The red ball was where the bomb exploded. The town of Hiroshima was primarily wooden structure, and was completely destroyed. The few items left in the diorama are concrete civil buildings. The man on the left is Ishida-san, plus translator, and was four years old when the bomb dropped. He is one of the few remaining survivors still alive. We moved on to a real primary school, and were given a lesson in origami. We got to fold some dragons. The school requested we not photograph the children, however they were so excited, I just had to snap one. When you enter a school/temple/shrine, it's shoes off. When we left, the kids fought over who got to tie my shoelaces. The boy just wanted a picture.. On to the peace memorial. Yes, we chartered a Limo Van and driver for each day.. Very handy. More tomorrow..
1 pointI love this pic^^^^^ I like how the rear end bars and lights came out . Super strong too! This bellhousing is custom made and only made three of them (for the sequential trans) I do still make this for the 2d and pbs sequential. This allows the Subaru motor to mate directly with the tranny and no adapter plate

1 pointThat looks a lot like Rialto???????????
1 pointNone of the above. All are very heavy tires. 30" tire would be fine. It can run 32" tires, but you might have to mess with you clutch. Although I have friends running 32" paddle tire set ups on the stock clutch for a 17 XPT. What is your budget? If you want to stay with a 14" wheel then a 30" set up. The CST Sandblast set up in the best of the budget tires. They perform as well as the STU Sandblaster set and a fraction of the price. After that a Skat set up would work well. I would avoid the Sand Slingers, Sand Drifters and those type of tires. The paddle profiles are not great on them. If you go to a 15" wheel your choices get better as far as size and type. STU Paddla 1300 (30" tire) with the desert trac front tire is pretty nice. STU Blackbird is a heavy tire (31"), but work. The new Fullerton tire is also really heavy. 32" CST tire weight wise is not bad. After driving around on the Sandcraft Skats this weekend, I am sold on this set up. The tire profile and the front tires with the center rib performed awesome. They make a 31" tire that would work great on your RZR, but you need to go to a 15" wheel. They can tell you how many paddles you will need for your car and hp.
1 pointOk here we go! Devin, first I was in no way "slamming" Polaris. And in fact I do appreciate that they're investing in the dunes by purchasing the store. Second, even if I was slamming them I don't see how that makes me or anyone else "hypocritical." Third, now that you've opened this can of worms. My first trip to Glamis was memorial weekend in 1974. Yes, 1974. I have seen the changes over the years and perhaps I long for the old days when the place was waaay more laid back. No overzealous rangers, smaller crowds and less rude ass campers. So with that being said, I remember watching Crusty Demons of Dirt in 1995 (on a VHS tape no less) and the guys were at the "trendy dunes," and even THEN I was like oh shit here we go, this place is going to blow up. Then there were the party's at the pit (competition hill) where assholes were digging trenches so you would wreck or get stuck, burning OHVs to the ground and it was one big effing mess til the law clamped down. So if anyone ever wonders why there's such a HUGE presence of LEOs and BLM at the dunes this is one of the main reasons. Since you didn't ask, my opinion on camp rzr? It's awesome that they display the vehicles and offer test drives and will repair your cart on the spot. But. Live concerts, a big party and a a fireworks display? If I wanted that shit I'd just stay home and go to Disneyland. I go to the dunes to escape that crap and in fact refuse to bring a tv along. This type of event brings in non-duners that makes the CAMPING turn into the shit show as I referenced with that image. Some of those people dgaf and trash the place leaving it to the folks that are truly passionate about the dunes (dare I say LOVE the place) to clean up after them. Many people enjoy the event, it just ain't for me. There was a day when guys built their own sand cars, and the only thing to finance was ATCs/odysseys/dirt bikes. Now anybody with a few thousand dollars down can get into a cart with amazing long travel suspension and an automatic (gasp!) trans. Easy to drive and easy to wreck. I think they're awesome and will buy a Textron XX 4 seater when they release them. I'm just not a fan of the commercialization of Glamis, but there's no stopping it. Now get off my lawn!
1 pointoh man...…………….
1 pointStop being responsible, over extend yourself get into financial trouble.... Then you will have no problem finding a job. In the meantime should at least become a greeter at Wal-Mart. While it might only give you one day of work before they fire you and have you forcibly removed from the store it will give you years of great memories of the time you stood in a blue vest at the local Wal MArt and yelled at people who really really needed it.
0 pointsCleaning the shop, lost an engine in my Tatum last week
0 pointsYou've already brought it up so you know its in your mind. I think it will bother you every time you look at it and say "what if it didn't have that seam?" I say no seam like 99% of all the other sand cars. It does look good otherwise though!

Book Number One
Gifted, a Donovan Circus Novel
Synopsis: Even in a world of freaks, being a Firestarter is considered a dangerous Gift.
Lucy was born with the ability to create and control fire. She longs to leave the human world for one filled with Earthshakers, Transporters, and Chameleons, to name a few. When she rejoins the circus, it's everything she hoped it could be—new friends, a potential love interest or two, and a place where she can be herself.
When troupe members begin turning up dead, however, Lucy is suspected of foul play. She must not only prove her innocence but also realize the full extent of her power.

6 Tips To Make Your House Feel More Comfortable
No matter what the season is, every home can certainly benefit from adding a bit of cozy comfort. It will be wise to learn about some cheap and alternative solutions if you want a homey touch and soft layers without having to spend a fortune.
Consider these styling tricks given by experts to make your house feel a lot better even on a budget.
Tip number 1. Add a curtain wall – it will be a good idea to try hanging some curtains all the way across the wall. This will add visual interest as well as bulk of material that will then create a cozy effect. These days, there are many companies that are offering almost endless options in curtains that start for as low as 10 dollars per pair. With this being said, you can be certain to buy lots of panels to cover the wall.

Tip number 3. Use seating in bedroom – as you add seats to the bedroom, it can give it a lounge like appeal that would tempt you in spending more time there to relax or read some books. Both flea markets as well as thrift stores are two excellent sources where you can find budget friendly vintage leather seating that can be wiped down and cleaned easily.
Tip number 4. Include a throw – without a doubt, accessories are great way to adjust to seasonal design without committing fully to it. We all love the concept of laying a cuddly throw over the chaise or couch and the best thing, you can get this at just 20 dollars more or less, which can up your home's cozy factor in an instant.
Tip number 5. Try darker walls – by simply painting the room, you can do a complete makeover to it without having to spend big sum of cash. Intensify its cozy factor by painting the walls with dramatic and dark color. To be able to make the space and atmosphere feel more inviting, consider colors like chocolate brown to charcoal grey. Just make sure to add pops of white and metallic in an effort to keep it from feeling so heavy.
Tip number 6. Create a nook – creating a comfortable nook by simply pushing an old sofa or twin bed up against the wall and then covering it with pillows to lie on.
Enjoy having a cozy and comfortable house by following these tips.

The G-4 visa category is something most people haven't even heard of or ever thought about. Only a very small number of people in committed, same-sex relationships with people working in diplomatic positions hold G-4 visas. In October, the Trump Administration changed the eligibility rules, requiring that partners either marry by December 31, 2018 or leave the U.S.
The G-4 "mandate to marry" change sends a powerful policy message to the greater LGBTQ community. It certainly does not acknowledge the persecution couples would face in their home countries.
What is a G-4 Visa?
It is a "family-based" visa that permitted same-sex domestic partners of foreign diplomats or employees of certain international organizations, to accompany them to the U.S.
Foreign staff members who work at the United Nations, the World Bank, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and others, are able to have their family members and domestic partners join them in the United States while they are living and working in the U.S. The family members and domestic partners receive what is known as a "derivative" visa based on the family relationship to a person in diplomatic service.
The Department of state has not issued G-4 visas for opposite-sex domestic partners because they can openly marry in their home countries. However, opposite-sex couples face obstacles and legal restrictions to marrying in their home countries, that same-sex couples do not. In fact, many countries still prohibit same-sex marriage, making it impossible for couples in committed relationships to fulfill the mandate. The message is either get married or get out.
Samantha Power, a former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations tweeted that the policy is "needlessly cruel & bigoted." She notes that only 12% of UN member states allow same-sex marriage.
When is the Deadline?
Same-sex domestic partners who have a G-4 visa, have already gone through an "accreditation" process (of their relationship) before having received a G-4 visa. Current visa holders must immediately submit proof of marriage by December 31, 2018, or be prepared to leave the U.S. within 30 days. The only other alternative is to apply for a change to a different non-immigrant status and provide proof that you've filed the application with USCIS.
New applicants, or those in the process of applying for the visa, now must provide proof of marriage upon application for the G-4 visa. Additionally, the spouse and his or her United-Nations-official spouse must live together in the same home on a regular and usual basis.
What if Your Country Does Not Allow Same-Sex Marriage?
This is a real concern. Only a handful of the United Nations' 193 member-states allow same-sex marriage. The State Department has said that it will work with couples from countries where same-sex marriage is banned. It may also be possible that the state of the couple's residence or the District of Columbia will agree to perform the marriage and a marriage of two foreign nationals in the United States would be valid for this purpose.
Learn About Your Immigration Options if You Are in a Same-Sex Relationship
I have helped many same-sex couples successfully apply for immigration benefits based on their marriages to U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. The USCIS will recognize your legal marriage for immigration purposes. Contact me at 612-805-8626 for experienced immigration assistance.

The California Institute of Science, or CalSci, is a fictional tertiary education establishment which exists only for the purposes of Numb3rs.
Among its many professors are Charlie Eppes and Larry Fleinhardt, as well as Amita Ramanujan in due course. Mildred Finch was also one such, for a time.
Known rules and regulationsEdit
According to the supercomputer Baley in "First Law", in 2003 CalSci introduced a statute which banned consensual relationships between professors and students, although the context and Amita's earlier comments on the topic suggest that this applied to professors and their own students, not the whole student body.

An IVF technique that produces babies with genetic material from three different people has been approved by the House of Lords in Britain. The rules are meant to allow certain clinics to carry out mitochondrial donations where the baby would have DNA from the mother and father at 98.8 % and from a female donor at 0.2 %.
The rules apply to a narrow range of serious diseases and politicians contend that they won't lead to a slippery slope of "designer babies."

I received @ElsoorGame (Instagram) from our blogger-friend Fahad Al-Ibraheem who's the mastermind behind this game ,,, It's a card game, totally new, not like any other card game at all.
My sister & I met on Friday to try & play this game ,,, it wasn't easy at first considering it's a new game & you have to get used to it but after few minutes, we understood the idea of the game & started playing 🙂
It was lots of fun, we yelled, laughed & made fun of each other & we were only 2 gamers, so imagine if we were 4, I guess a war would happen 😛
Basically, the game is about attacking,,, you have 3 Soors that you have to protect with your soldiers, you can choose which Soor to attack & which Soor to defend from yours. I loved the action cards, they caused alot of tension 😛
You can find the game at P2BK Village at Ezgrt Booth
Thank you Fahad & Good luck 🙂

Aristocratic from the first note to the last
(Robert Schumann on Chopin's waltzes)
The waltzes are among the best known and loved of Chopin's works. He wrote around twenty-five works in the waltz convention, of which eighteen have survived (as well as one piece of not entirely certain authenticity). Of these eighteen, Chopin opused and intended for publication eight compositions:
- Waltz in E flat major, Op. 18, composed 1833, published 1834
- 3 Waltzes, Op. 34: in A flat major, A minor and F major, completed 1835-1838, published 1838
- Waltz in A flat major, Op. 42 (1840)
- 3 Waltzes, Op. 64: in D flat major ("Minute Waltz"), C sharp minor and A flat major (1847)
The remaining works were published after the composer's death, including in Opp. 69 and 70. Chopin's waltzes contain a variety of types, as the composer was able to draw on several traditions of this dance. In his youth, Chopin became acquainted with functional waltzes, both in Poland (where "walcerki" were often danced) and in Vienna. The style of Chopin's waltzes was also influenced to a certain degree by the waltzes of Schubert (of the miniature type) and the music of Weber, with the famous piano Invitation to the Dance to the fore.
Yet Chopin's waltzes reproduce no models, instead giving us music that is inimitable, recognisable from the very first bars, full of elegance, charm and brilliance, not infrequently marked by profound expression. There are short pieces, which can be defined as typical dance miniatures, and also more expansive waltzes, with the character of dance poems.
Chopin treated some of his waltzes as compositional "presents", writing them into albums as keepsakes. Such works belong to the "private" strand in his oeuvre, not intended for publication (for example, the sentimental, simple Waltz in F minor [WN 55]). The composer also had no intention of publishing a number of youthful waltzes from his Warsaw period, which include both subtle, lyrical miniatures (Waltz in B minor [WN 19]) and virtuosic waltzes (most notably the effective Waltz in E minor).
Of a different character are the concert waltzes from the "official" strand in the Chopin oeuvre. Their dimensions are larger, and the pianistic splendour incomparably greater. Here the degree of artistic refinement reaches its peak, particularly manifest in the rich melodies and subtle harmonies. Among these eight masterful waltzes, two fundamental types may be distinguished. The first, more numerous, type is the striking waltz of virtuosic panache-the valse brillante. This type of composition might begin with a distinctive introduction and end with a virtuosic coda, fulfilling the role of the climax of the work (Waltz in E flat major, Op. 18, Waltz in A flat major, Op. 34 No. 1). The second type is associated with a different sort of expression: it is the melancholic, almost sentimental, waltz in a much slower tempo. The most famous examples of this type are the Waltz in A minor, Op. 34 No. 2 and Waltz in C sharp minor, Op. 64 No. 2, although it should be remembered that both these types are also present among the waltzes of the "private" strand.
For audiences at large, the division into "concert" and "salon" waltzes is of little significance. Captivated by the magic of Chopin's waltzes, we follow the composer's inspiration. Such is the effect when listening, for example, to recordings of the waltzes in the wonderful interpretation of Dinu Lipatti.

God gives us the Power to change our lives
Acts 22:15
Central Theme: God has the power to change the worst lives.
Introduction–We all know what happened years ago on September 11. Our nation was attacked. There are some people who hate us and part of the reason is because we are a Christian nation. Do you know that there is a great man in the Bible who became famous by persecuting Christians? He was Paul, the great Apostle. Have a member read Acts 22:15.
I. Tell the story of Paul and how he was changed (Acts 9:1-19).
A. Paul was known all over for persecuting Christians.
B. On the way to Demascus to kill and put Christians in jail,
C. God stopped him and changed him.
II. There is no one who is too bad that they cannot have their lives changed.
A. God will change you no matter how bad you may be.
B But God cannot change you if you think you are so good that you don't need to be changed.
C. I was raised in a Christian home, I didn't do a lot of things wrong.
D. But I had a lot of pride in my life.
1. God wants to change us not matter what our "sin" is and pride is a big sin.
III. God will change our lives if we let him.
A. We can pray for the people who want to destroy us because we are Christians.
B. But first we must ask God to change us and make us the people he wants us to be.
Conclusion God can change the worst people in the world–even me.

New Feedback Genius Features: Individual Message Open Rates and Star Review Link
- Cory Checketts
- On October 10, 2018
View your Feedback Genius emails' performance at a glance with the individual message open rates. Visualize your product review request with an image of five blank stars.
Just in time for the busy Q4 2018 holiday shopping season, Feedback Genius has released two updates to help Amazon sellers optimize their Buyer-Seller communication, and get more product reviews.
The goals behind these two updates are, first, to give sellers a quick overview at how well each of their messages is performing; second, to improve the effectiveness of their product review request emails by making them more visual while staying 100% compliant with Amazon's Terms of Service.
Individual Message Open Rates
Amazon sellers no longer have to click on an individual message to see its open rate percentage via the analytics option. Instead, a seller can get a quick glance at how well their messages have performed over the past 30 days from the Messages table. But if a seller wants more detailed information like the number of messages sent and open, they can click the three dots on the far right to see more.
What's an acceptable open rate percentage?
We get this question a lot. And unfortunately, we can't give a set-in-stone number, similar to ACoS in advertising, because performance metrics vary from seller to seller. But you should get an open rate of at least 8%.
If you notice that your open rate is alarmingly low, there are several things you can do. The easiest and most effective place to start is with the subject line. That's because a buyer will at least see the subject in their inbox, regardless of them opening the email or not.
And if you're not sure whether one email subject line works better than another, you can A/B test two subject lines for a period of time to get definitive data as to which one is more effective.
Five Stars Linking to Amazon Product Review Page
Our second update is designed to go beyond email open rates and to improve product review rates. Sellers can use the Feedback Genius variable [[stars-review-link]] within their email copy to automatically display five empty (or white) stars.
Sellers might be reminded of the five-star review variable, and they wouldn't be wrong. This variable was designed to give buyers a visual cue to leave a review. The main difference between this variable and the previous one is that we don't make any suggestions for how many stars a buyer should leave. This is because Feedback Genius is dedicated to providing sellers with the most compliant Amazon TOS tool available.
Getting More Product Reviews
First and foremost, remember that the reason you want product reviews is that you want to build your brand. In your emails, you should be telling your story, building your brand, and enhancing your reputation.
When you start doing the simple things right, you'll be rewarded with repeat customers. The best way to get honest product reviews is to ask your repeat buyers to share their opinion with others just like themselves. This means that you should never send a repeat buyer the same message you sent the last time they bought from you.
Keeping your emails unique will keep your buyers engaged with you, your brand and your product. Repeat messages with the same content will entice your buyers to unsubscribe.
If you think about messaging as a way to build your brand in addition to getting Amazon feedback and reviews, Feedback Genius emails become a platform for you to showcase your brand identity and your creativity and capabilities.
The best way to get started is by using the different templates available to Feedback Genius users. Then you can start to test how they perform against one another. And most importantly, don't set your messages and forget them. You'll want to make updates to them alongside your product updates. If a message hasn't been updated in over a year then it's time to make some adjustments.
Wrap Up
Don't take our word for it. We made these updates for your benefit! Log in to Feedback Genius now to see how well your messages are doing and to start using the five blank stars variable for your product review request emails.
And if you're not currently using Feedback Genius, click the button below to start your free 30-day trial of the product. You'll have full access to all of the features mentioned in this article as well as the many others.
If you're looking to take your brand and reputation on Amazon to the next level then you need automated Buyer-Seller messaging!
Save time, build your brand and improve your reputation with Feedback Genius. Try it now for free for 30 days!

While working in New Mexico, I kept hearing rumblings of an oasis in the Santa Fe mountains. A spa-restaurant-hotel combination that transports you to a version of the Japanese countryside. The name of the property alone sounded like a different world–Ten Thousand Waves. Some people referenced the life-changing massages, some the delicious Japanese fusion cuisine, and some described the many baths on the property with total bliss on their faces. But everyone ultimately encouraged me to "just go, trust me!" And that is exactly what I did.
First, I called and reserved a table for lunch at Izanami, the restaurant on the property. I also booked time in a private bath, and a hot stone massage. Two of my cast mates and I drove the hour to Santa Fe, winding up on a long desert road, eager for this spiritual sanctuary that was such a departure from the reality we had just come from. After checking in to the spa, we walked over to Izanami to fill our bellies. We were seated at a traditional Japanese table, which is about two feet from the ground, looking out to a small waterfall that had iced over and was slowly melting into the pond below. We sat comfortably cross-legged on the ground and sipped hot green tea, enjoyed sweet potato and ginger soup, wasabi vegetables and hot stone bibimbap.
From there, with a full stomach and a smile on my face, I was given a key to my private hot bath and sauna they called Shoji. Because it was private, no clothing was necessary–it was liberating, to say the least, but honestly not too unfamiliar (I'm a secret nudist). I soaked in the 98 degree tub, with glimpses of the desert beyond and the blue sky above me. After roughly an hour of solitude, I was escorted through the winding property (which was much larger than I expected). Every detail of this place seemed delicately thought out, beautiful in its simplicity. I was led into a private room with a private front patio. My massage therapist kept the door open, letting in the crisp air while I slipped under the warm sheets and prepared for 80 minutes of bliss. She placed hot stones along my back, taking me to a place of relaxation I rarely achieve. She then used the stones to massage deeply into my muscles, and I felt my body grow more relaxed with every movement. I transcended time during this treatment. It was simultaneously the longest and shortest 80 minutes of my life.
I spent the next hour and a half lounging around the public pool–in a bathing suit this time. The sun was warm, the water was warmer. It more closely resembled a large hot tub. There was another sauna, this one public as well. They had endless amounts of cold, filtered water to quench and replenish the body. The environment was peaceful, beautiful, and open. After five hours spent at Ten Thousand Waves, I felt like a new man. I floated back to the car and drove myself and two extremely, equally relaxed cast mates back to our hotel. I dreamt of Ten Thousand Waves that night. Needless to say, this place is a must for me and I'm counting the minutes until I'm back.

text: Infomerical advertising. What has become of it? Why is there a lack of new advertisers coming to the fold? Could it be that there is currently a problem with short form DRTV? Call centers. Media rates. Fresh creative ideas. Yes. These are all problems. Serious problems. What are marketers to do? Give up? NO!!!!!! Short form DRTV marketers need to try other options. Radio. Print. Digital. Mobile. Longer format TV. If you have a great product, you need to find your audience even if it's a smaller niche , they are certainly somewhere. We have many challenges facing our industry today. We need to focus on solutions. We, at Avalanche, have been thinking out of the box for our clients for 10 years in whatever media makes sense – from guerilla tactics to more mainstream.

We are here for you to try to help make you money and let consumers know about your great products. Don't give up! Just try something different.

In order to effectively optimize your marketing strategy you need to have a complete picture of your data. However, relying on multiple systems for implementing and analyzing your campaigns can lead to blind spots, delays in feedback and worse, lower ROI. After all, if you do not have a complete and up-to-date picture of your efforts then you cannot analyze effectively and optimize for future advertising campaigns.
Last time, my colleague Erik Werner, discussed the blind spots that often occur in online marketing or more specifically how Google and Facebook sometimes provide different attribution. This resulted in Google sometimes misattributing about 21% of Facebook clicks. Each system will provide useful pieces of information but when they do not speak the same language, then key pieces of data could be lost. In the case of attribution between Google and Facebook, sometimes it is hard to know exactly who is to credit for a sale that came as a result of one of the online campaigns. The real pain, of course, is not even knowing what your true ROI is. Without all of the right and relevant pieces of data, you'd be flying partially blind. Not a great way to run campaigns.
So, what happens when you have yet another system to coordinate with? This is the issue that Allegro, one of Poland's largest retail online shops, had to solve. They have their own system that was developed specifically for their needs. This meant that multiple systems had to be aligned in order to get a holistic view of their marketing efforts. It took literal hours to properly match 1000s of unique data points they had in their system with the data points in ours and on Facebook. The result was that time was lost to simple machine tasks that could be completed by monkeys instead of analyzing and reworking campaigns to maximize ROI.
Challenge 1:
Their system was set up to calculate data sets such as:
Facebook has completely different parameters with which to analyze campaign performance. The result is a limited and delayed understanding of campaign performance.
Challenge 2:
Their system lacks information about ads that brought a visitor to the website. To solve this, marketers often use UTM tags like "campaign" and they keep the relations in their heads for further analysis. However, this approach is impossible for 1000s of campaigns.
What we both needed was a tailored solution so that ALL three systems would provide useful information for quick feedback and analysis. So, our team of solutions engineers came up with the solution:
After the integration, these are the results, we came up with.
The lesson to learn from this is that, when you have the complete picture and are able to react quickly, then your ROI can be improved drastically.
This is all nice and great but what does that mean for you? No two companies are alike and finding the right solution for your specific need can be agonizing for any company. You might have to sacrifice pieces of actionable data for a service or miss out on services that are right for your business because the perceived drawbacks outweigh the loss.
If you want to succeed, you will need tailored solutions from the right platform. So, the question to ask is: Are your systems and marketing platforms interacting with each other in such a way that you have the best analysis to base your strategies on? If not, it might be time to make sure that they do.
"No other Allegro advertising partner has been able to separate categories as easily and in large scale, as ROI Hunter."Radosław Górka Performance Marketing, Allegro

7 Signs You're The Emotionally Unavailable One In Your Relationship — And How To Work On It
It can be a weird feeling when you realize your relationship isn't working. But it happens — even in a long-term relationship — that, despite spending months or years together, you can realize that something is just missing. Sometimes that thing that's missing is a fundamental compatibility issue, sometimes, you and your partner are just growing apart, but, sometimes, you're the person holding your relationship back. If you're emotionally unavailable, the relationship can only ever go so far. Being emotionally unavailable is not something to feel awful about, it's just something to know and understand, so you can work on it.
"Having a better understanding of yourself will help you navigate your relationship," NYC-based therapist Kimberly Hershenson tells Bustle. "You will learn your triggers and how best to avoid them or deal with them. This will lead to less arguing in your relationship and more understanding of differences."
So how do you know if you're emotionally unavailable? Well, it may be that your partner has said it. But if not, there are signs based off how you treat your partner — and how you feel about the relationship as a whole — that can show you're not being open. Or at least, not open to a relationship with this partner. Here's what you need to look out for, according to experts.
1. You're Really Critical Of Your Partner
It's normal to feel frustrated at some point with your partner, but do you nit-pick your partner? Or just outright criticize them? Practicing psychologist and Harvard lecturer Holly Parker, PhD, author of If We're Together, Why Do I Feel So Alone?, tells Bustle that criticizing your partner — especially over small things — is a way of pushing them away, and a sign that you're emotionally unavailable.
2. You Want To Break Up Whenever You Hit A Rough Patch
If you have the itch to run whenever you have a fight or a disagreement, it may be a sign that you're emotionally unavailable.
What can you do? Well, just sticking around after a disagreement and working through it can make the difference. "The best way to become more emotionally available is to stay put when things get tough," professional astrologer Rachel Lang tells Bustle.
3. You Don't Want To Talk About The Future
Your long-term plan doesn't need to involve a wedding and babies — it can involve traveling around the world or quitting your job. But, at some point in a long-term relationship, your partner will probably want to discuss the long-term plan. If you can't talk about a future with them, it's time to ask yourself why.
4. Your Partner Isn't Emotionally Available, Either
If you feel like your partner isn't emotionally invested or emotionally open in the relationship, that can be a sign that you're not, either. "One of the key points I discuss with my clients is we often attract people who are in a similar emotional place as we are. So it's important to honestly assess how emotionally available you are first," Dating and Relationship Coach, Christine Baumgartner tells Bustle. It may be that you're with this person because neither of you are willing to really invest in someone, so you're both acting as placeholders.
5. You Can Never Understand Where Your Partner Is Coming From
You might not always agree with your partner but, it's important to see their point of view. If you have the urge to dismiss your partner's feelings because they make no sense to you more often than not, then you may not be opening up emotionally.
Try to take a breath and imagine what it would be like to be in their position. And, if that doesn't work, ask them to talk about how they feel... and really listen.
6. You Don't Involve Your Partner In Your Life
Even though some couples are more independent than others, psychologist Nikki Martinez tells Bustle that there's a time when your lives will naturally start to interact, at least a bit. They'll spend time with your friends and family and your lives will start to overlap. If you are holding back on letting your partner spend time with the people who are important to you — or being involved in your life — you may want to think about why that is. It may be that you're not sure about your partner.
7. You Don't Have The Energy To Fight With Them
Sometimes an issue just doesn't feel worth fighting about, so you'll ignore big problems, try to dodge your partner's attempts to connect, or just walk out of a room. If you don't want to fight, it may be that you're just not that invested in your partner, because fighting is actually a really important part of a relationship . "Believe it or not, relationship disagreements are not a bad thing," psychologist and relationship expert Robert Weiss, LCSW, CSAT-S tells Bustle. "Arguments with your partner can evolve into deeper relationship intimacy. In fact, the desire to occasionally argue is a strong indication that you and your partner care about each other and your life together. The trick, of course, is learning to resolve your conflicts healthfully, in ways that strengthen rather than diminish your relationship."
If you can't even be bothered to engage in a disagreement, you may not really care about fixing the problem. If that's the case, you'll want to think about why you're in this relationship.
Often we view our partners as the emotionally unavailable one — but sometimes we're the one holding back. If you feel yourself holding back, then the best thing to do is be honest with yourself and think about why you're not being open: is it because you have some emotional maturing you need to do in general or is something about this particular relationship holding you back? At the end of the day, only you will know.

Over the course of the past few days, I finally added another skyhook to my modest antenna farm. It took a few days to secure a few sections of 2" pvc pipe and to assemble the wire, coax, and twin lead for the project. The antenna consists of 32' of pvc pipe, 32' of 14-gauge housewire, 32' of 14-gauge wire serving as an elevated counterpoise, and 40' of 450-ohm twin lead attached to a 4:1 balun. Approximately 15' of RG-6 coax runs from the balun to the Drake MN-4 ATU.
No. But it does work and can be used from 40-meters to 10-meters. The design goes back to the 1920's and has been refined over the past years by many noted amateurs. Other than buying a few pieces of pvc pipe, my expenses were zero. Fortunately, I have a well-stocked "junque" box and was able to find nearly everything I needed on site. I'm enjoying this simple antenna, given the space restrictions of my back yard. Like my inverted "vee", this antenna can be swiveled down to ground level when it is not in use. The visual impact of both antennas is minimal. Since I do most of my operating after sunset, the antenna farm is largely invisible to the neighbors.
If verticals and dipoles aren't part of your antenna plans, you may want to experiment with loops of various sizes. For those facing CC & R and HOA restrictions, a small magnetic loop may get you on the air. MFJ sells a magnetic loop and all of the associated hardware necessary to keep you active from an unfriendly environment. Although it appears a bit expensive, many amateur radio operators seem to like this product.
I was able to place a full-wave 40-meter loop (141') under my house for a backup antenna. My qth is supported by pillars and concrete pads approximately 5' above ground level, so there is some clearance for the antenna. This loop provides good regional service and works the Hawaiian Island chain with ease. The loop is, for all practical purposes, a NVIS antenna with coverage stretching out to about 300 miles. I get no RFI in the qth, since power levels are usually 10 watts or less.
If you live in an area where antennas are considered little more than an "eyesore" (thanks to CC &R and HOA restrictions), you may have to be a bit creative in getting your amateur station on the air. An internet search for stealth or hidden antennas will reveal a wealth of information that can help you rejoin the ham radio community. I have a well-worn edition of an ARRL publication on stealth antennas which has given me several good ideas. Don't be afraid to experiment with low power, various digital modes, or unusual antennas. The idea is to get on the air and enjoy the hobby with the resources available. The local hardware store can supply you with most of the antenna items you need. Even the local cable company may be willing to part with unused lengths of coax. Fitted with suitable connectors, RG-6 can serve as a replacement for RG-58 and RG-8x. A decent ATU can match this nominal 75-ohm cable to your rig.
That's it for today......it's time to close the news room and head for the qth. I hope to squeeze in a few hours at the J-38 key on the lower portion of 40-meters before I roll back the sheets for a good night's rest.
Have a good weekend. Do your best to get on the air...use it or lose it. Aloha es 73 de KH6JRM.
