Thomastik Dominant 4/4 Violin String Set - Medium Gauge - Aluminum/Steel Ball-End E
$90.50
The Dominant strings have been something of a standard for violins for a long time. They were the strings that came with my first few violins, they were the strings that were recommended to me for a very long time, and they are the ones that you will see in most music stores. But for about the same price there are many better alternatives.
The problem with these strings? Their tone isn't really all that great. They have a miserably long break-in time. They aren't that durable (I've had some break within a week of installing them on my violin). And they aren't really that cheap either.
If you are at all particular about what kind of string that you use, I would recommend any of the sets that Pirastro offers. The Wondertones are just about equal in price, but are a much finer example. For around $20 or so more you could buy the Evah Pirazzis (very strong, bright tone with great projection) or the Obligatos (very rich, dark tone).
In short, use the Dominant for your kid's violin (it doesn't make much difference to them anyway), but for everyone else look elsewhere.

Prince More Dominant Squash Racket
$123.75
The original strings broke after ten games. Well, that can happen. When I ship them for the new strings, they told me that this racquet has this problem because of the "technology" it offers. The strings are in direct contact with the frame... that is the MORE technology I think. So, the strings break too easily in the head. The racquet feels good, but unless you have money and patience to change strings once a month, look for another option.

The Loving Dominant

This book was a very refreshing, loving side to D/S relationships. My boyfriend and I are also involved in D/S- he is my Dom, and I his Sub. It's great to see a book that focuses on Doms and Subs who are also partners/spouses.
