ING DIRECT (www.ingdirect.com)
I opened an account with ING Direct early Dec 2000. At that time, ING Direct was new and untested in the USA, but I forged ahead anyway as it had a good track record in the other countries it operated in. I filled in the application online (paper applications are available also), and ...

Sabatier Laguiole Steak Knives
Laguiole (pronounced, "LAY-oh") are legendary knives. Perhaps you have seen one in an expensive steak house, or perhaps a shallow friend has shown you one (which they probably stolen from same steak house) in order to elicit the requisite, "Ohh, ahh where did you get them?" response. These knives are in a class by themselves.

Newcastle Brown Ale
The ale is mildly carbonated, like an open bottle of cola that has sat around for some time. It pours a little foamy, but the head disappears quickly leaving a brown flat liquid not unlike flat coca-cola.

There is a nice bitterness after each swallow, but that's just about it ...

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
At first impressions, this beer is like Long Island water, amber-brown in color, foamy, and tasting quite bitter; the bitterness increasing the more you swallow. However, unlike contaminated well water, the beer is crisp tasting, with a very smooth, and satisfying finish. The bitterness in the ale subsides...
