I had ordered the smaller version of this rug before ordering the 8 x 11' rug. I liked the larger version a little better probably b/c it shows more of the neutrals in it. This is a great quality Safevieh rug AN516B. I also found this rug in a smaller size on Ballard Designs Triana Rug but it is a lot cheaper at Overstock. It you tend to lean towards reds, yellows, greens, for decorating this will go in your room. It leans more towards the warmer side than the cooler taupe side. I wouldn't say it is red but more rust colored. But the carpet works with red. I have red in my room and it picks up the coloration. Great rug for our family room with kids and dogs. Great price for *** or so.
I give this product five stars because the carpet is thick and well made. However, the hues are more saturated than what is shown online. The colors also vary from the description, "ivory background and ivory border and displays stunning panel colors of red, rust, gold, sage, ivory." There is no red in the carpet. The ruddy color is burnt orange/rust. I read "ivory" to mean a neutral off-white. Instead, the background is light gold. The outer edges are a medium khaki color. If your colors are burnt orange/rust, sage green and varying hues of gold, this rug will work with your decor.
The rug is very heavy and of good quality. It's a Safavieh. Now about the color - it's taupe; the colors are very muted. Ivory is nowhere near what it is. If you want a taupe rug that looks like it's been washed in gray, this is your rug. The red color is a burgundy. The reviews said it was rusty and orangy. No. I'm bummed but married to it since the price to return it is too much. I was really relying on the accurate description of those who bought before me.
Let�s get this out of the way: this rug is not �Ivory�. There is not any �ivory� in the one that arrived (very quickly) to my home. The base color is perhaps better described as a marriage between olive and khaki. With a dash of caf� au lait. The image on the site is FAR lighter (and as a designer, my screen is very accurately color calibrated). That said, the palette is a neutral one with nuanced olive/green, rust/copper, and yellow/gold tones and this misleading description is not egregious given my personal color scheme. I really like this carpet, and although I was expecting epic �shedding� as new wool carpets are wont to do, this has been minimal. I have it down on hardwood floors with no pad; it is absolutely fine without one. It has a nice weight, seems well made (only time will tell�), and it feels lovely under bare feet. I checked elsewhere and the Ostock price cannot be beat, shipping was lightning fast, and without a doubt I will purchase more from the site while being mindful that descriptions may not be completely accurate. I would give this 5 stars if it were indeed Ivory. That said, I'm quite satisfied with my first purchase from Overstock.com.
This rug came, we unwrapped it...and fell in love. Subtle colors make it a neutral for any room. Tight, thick and luxury feel. Amazing quality for the price!
Its been almost a year since we purchased the carpet and it would NOT stop shedding. We don't have pets at home and the carpet faces little traffic. I vacuum the rug every week and still no remedy. It looks very beautiful, but certainly not worth the trouble of cleaning every week. I would never buy another rug from this site.
This rug is plush and wonderful to walk on. I ordered the felt rug pad, but didn't even need one that thick, with the gorgeous pile on this rug. Colors are muted and stunning. Very happy with this item. Thank you O.S.
The problem with this product is only that an annoyingly significant amount of carpet fibers is released every time it is vacuumed. I have vacuumed this thing at least 10 times already. I don't know if all wool rugs do this, or just this particular material from this manufacture does? I read other buyers said the same thing about this rug & I was hoping it wouldn't be the case with me. Now I'm looking for another large rug for my other room, but I sure wouldn't buy this again.
Colors were true to the image online, pretty rug, great quality. Shipped and delivered in a timely manner.
Beautiful rug. Came in well packaged and arrived very fast. It sheds a little, but after a few weeks it stops. Thick, plush and flat out beautiful. It has a little bit of brick red in it and the white seems a little grayish to me but it slight and goes well with my decor.

text: I have three sets of RT5's and after setting them up in my new home one of the speakers mids would not play. The tweeter plays fine but nothing from the mid. After having it checked out, I was told that the voicecoil had gone out. I tried all the other speakers in the same location and they all played fine. I was told to replace the mid and the problem would be solved. Does this sound like good advice???

A Wyandotte couple accused of forcing their two young children to stand in steaming hot water for so long that the youngsters' feet were severely burned waived their rights to a preliminary hearing on Thursday, sending their cases straight to the Wayne County Circuit Court.
Erica Anne Bohn, 25, and Brandon Edward Soules, 29, will face a separate arraignment at 9 a.m. Dec. 20 in circuit court. Both are charged with two felony counts of second-degree child abuse, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Twenty-seventh District Judge Randall Kalmbach ordered that bond be continued as previously set—$20,000/10 percent for Bohn and $30,000/10 percent for Soules. Neither have posted bond and remain locked up in the Wayne County Jail.
Bohn's relatives were in court Thursday and shouted "love you" and "take care" to her as she was taken out of the courtroom. They declined to comment further.
Attorney Kimberly Lewis is representing Bohn and also declined to talk about the case.
Attorney Romi Mezy is representing Soules and said his client is very remorseful over what occurred.
"This was an unintentional act," Mezy said. "They are both loving parents who have a drug problem."
While the case is pending, both parents have been ordered to stay away from their children, a 4-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy, who remain in their grandparents' custody.
Mezy said Soules wants to enroll in a parenting class.
"He is very concerned and he wants to see his children again," Mezy said. "He takes full responsibility for what occurred."
Mezy asked that the matter be referred to pretrial services to determine whether bond was appropriately set. Kalmbach agreed to have the matter of bond looked at, but said he feels it's appropriately set based on Soules' prior record—breaking and entering into a vehicle, being a minor in possession of alcohol, impaired driving, driving on an expired license and two separate cases of retail fraud.

A utility box at Elmwood Avenue and West Ferry Street features a new piece competed today by Buffalo artist OGRE.
Today, artists stationed at intersections along Elmwood Avenue began work on the second phase of Community Canvases, a public art project that turns utility boxes and other pieces of public infrastructure into artworks.
I caught up with artist Mary Claire Rivera at the corner of Elmwood and Delavan, where she was working on a piece inspired by the culture and streetscape of the surrounding neighborhood:
Here are a couple shots of other works and works-in-progress on Elmwood, which should be completed by the end of the weekend:

Last week I described the process of building great PPC search-campaign keyword lists. I walked through an exercise of defining personas -- customer groups and their associated needs/desires -- and building lists of words they would use as search terms. Assembling these word lists using Excel led to using them as "seeds" in a powerful software tool called "The Permutator" that creates all possible combinations of the seed words.
Here's the seed list associated with the Roger persona I described last week:
Intelligently combining these seed words results in a list of 540 keywords -- you can download the Permutator keyword list and an Excel spreadsheet containing the 540 keywords here.
So we're close to finishing our exercise and launching -- just pop the 540 keywords into an ad group, write a great ad, and rake in the profits, right?
One of the biggest mistakes made by amateur advertisers is creating ad groups that are composed of long lists of relatively unrelated keywords, and writing ads that try to cover every concept in the keyword list. Then they wonder why their ad groups perform so poorly -- CTRs under 1 percent, low ad positions and high CPC charges.
The good news is that the secret to getting great CTRs, ad positions, CPCs and quality scores is pretty simple: the keywords in an ad group should be tightly related to each other and to the ad text. How tightly? Make this your mantra:
(Almost) every keyword should appear in the ad text.
Why is this important? Several reasons:
- When the keywords appear in the ad text, the search engines "bold" those words, attracting the searchers' eyes.
- When a searcher sees her search term bold-faced in the ad, there's a greater likelihood she'll choose that ad over competing ads that don't include the term.
- Such ads get the best CTRs -- which the search engines reward with better ad position at a lower price.
- Over time the keywords and ads in such ad groups will accumulate better and better quality scores -- which helps the search engines decide which ads should be favored over competing ones.
That's why ad groups created with our mantra in mind (repeat after me: "(Almost) every keyword should appear in the ad text.") are the ones that get the best results, like CTRs in the 5- to 25-percent range.
But how should we decide which subsets of the 540 keywords we created should be aggregated into separate ad groups? My suggestion: group keywords according to where you think the searchers are in the research-shop-buy process.
Though I'll use B2C terminology here, realize that these principles apply equally to searchers whose needs/desires are satisfied by B2B products and services: most people go through several "search steps" before making a final decision:
- Research. People use broad search terms to research available products/services/solutions in broad categories.
- Shop. People use specific search terms to look for alternatives and specifics among competing products/services/solutions.
- Buy. People use very specific search terms to approach and reach a decision. Often these search terms include specific company names, domain names, and model numbers.
Here's a table showing search terms used at each of the three stages in the process:
Next week I'll describe the way to use this understanding of the research/shop/buy process to split up long keyword lists into tight, effective ad groups. As always, let me know your comments and questions.

My, what large teeth you have!February 26th, 2013 by kmroman416
One of my students last semester brought in this gem, an exact replica of the front tooth of a T-rex! The detail, size, and weight of the tooth was so realistic, I felt like I was holding a real fossil! This tooth belonged to a famous T-rex named "Stan" (named after its discoverer) that was excavated in the Black Hills in 1987. Imagine a whole mouthful of these large serrated flesh-tearing teeth biting into your leg and now you'll understand why that guy in Jurassic park screamed so loudly – wait, nevermind, that was movie magic ;) Anyway, the student who brought it in graciously donated it to me to share with my students. Show-and-tell is one of my favorite past times, so if you really dig dinos, come to the science department and see it!

Burton returns to Daytona
- Last Updated on 07:43 AM 07/30/12
- BY Daytona International Speedway Communications
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — When a Daytona 500 champion returns to Daytona International Speedway, it's always a special trip for the driver no matter the time of year.
Ward Burton, the 2002 Daytona 500 champion, was at the "World Center of Racing" on Thursday hosting employees and customers from one of his sponsors – State Water Heaters – for a day with the Richard Petty Driving Experience.
"This race track is so full and represents such good things about this sport and NASCAR," Burton said. "It's so rich in history. Just coming in the grounds – it feels like hallowed ground. Today, we're doing an event for State Water Heaters with 25 customers and we do this around the country. Last time we were here doing this was '09 so we're glad to be back and doing it at Daytona again."
Burton plans four of these events per year with State Water Heaters and Richard Petty Driving Experience at tracks around the country. He climbs behind the wheel of a two-seat No. 27 State Water Heaters Chevrolet prepared by Richard Petty Driving Experience and gives rides to guests. Following the rides and more instruction, guests then get their turn to drive on the legendary tri-oval.
In February, Burton celebrated the 10th anniversary of his Daytona 500 victory by making a return to NASCAR competition for the first time since 2007. He finished eighth in the NextEra Energy Resources 250 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.
These days, Burton's focus has now shifted to his 19-year-old son Jeb, who wants to follow the footsteps of his Daytona 500-winning father. Jeb Burton, who races Late Models out of his own shop in Virginia, made five starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series this year notching one top-10 finish.
Ward Burton says Jeb has "raw talent" and he is doing his best to put together sponsorship so his son can compete in a full season of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series beginning next year during Budweiser Speedweeks 2013.
"Jeb did a phenomenal job beyond my expectations with the resources we had and the limited seat time," Ward Burton said of his son's five NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts. "Actually I've been in Orlando the last two days working on sponsorship opportunities for Jeb. I need to get him back out there. He deserves to be there. He has got the talent to represent somebody really well. I'm working everyday for my son."

Special to the Tribune-Star
---- —
Through the movie camera lens darkly, Steven Spielberg transforms the 21st Century to the 19th Century through film. None of us alive today can relate to that time when a person would step outside and it was very, very dark. Street lights barely covered the sidewalk nearest the light pole. Inside it was gas lights, kerosene lamps, and candles. In 1865, homes were heated, almost without exception, by Ben Franklin stoves and fireplaces which dotted nearly every room.
So there's Daniel Day-Lewis as Mr. Lincoln, stooped, loving a good story, and just as worried about his small son's play activity (that would be Tad Lincoln) as he was trying to carve out an amendment to the Constitution that would free all men, regardless of color, forever and ever.
The intrigue that went into this jumps out at you as if you were trapped in a bad dream … Republicans fighting Republicans, those who wanted to free the slaves were called radicals. And Democrats in that Congress, a Civil War Congress, were considered not much better than an old, cur dog that would sleep near your carriage on the side of the road. It was a political scrambled egg (I think this movie should be shown to every school-age child in America).
It would seem to me it was a 200-year-old mirror being held up to today's Congress. Of course, there are more congressional members now, but they haven't gotten an iota smarter than they were in 1865. In fact, the 1865 political scramble finally got something important done and these congressmen today are a bunch of idiots.
This movie has been so well cast that whoever was responsible for the selection should receive an Oscar. But I don't think they give one for that.
Daniel Day-Lewis has given us the most accurate look at Abraham Lincoln since before his death … his stooped walk, his poking the fireplace, his wearing a shawl in rooms that were obviously rather cold in 1865. By now, you have probably heard that once Daniel Day-Lewis found the voice he thought was close to Mr. Lincoln's, he would speak in that voice on and off camera.
Sally Field was magnificent as Mary Todd Lincoln. She was feisty, poking her nose into all businesses of a president, and sometimes being a virtual nag. And all the time being somebody you could see was loved by the president.
I suppose, for me, perhaps the biggest surprise was Tommy Lee Jones, who played the radical congressman from Pennsylvania, Thaddeus Stevens. Stevens was a radical of all radicals in this storyline. Of course, that's how he was in real life. I suspect the golden Oscar will be waiting in line to be grasped by many in this cast. And if Steven Spielberg does not win an Oscar, there's no intelligence left in Hollywood.
It leads me to something my old radio friend, B.T., said after the movie … "Ronn, make sure you tell everyone as you write about this, America needs more adult movies like this one."
Good writing, good directing, and a great film. Folks, if you only see one movie this year, see "Lincoln."

The Department of Justice filed a "Notice of Approval" with the U.S. District court Wednesday, throwing its weight behind a proposal submitted by the monitor charged with overseeing changes in the Seattle Police Department. The proposal outlines Monitor Merrick Bobb's first year plan for making reforms called for in a Settlement Agreement between the Justice Department and Seattle to address a pattern and practice of excessive force by police officers. The monitoring plan still has to be approved by a federal judge.
"As the Parties move forward with the first year of implementation of the Settlement Agreement, the Monitoring Plan will provide guidance to the Parties and create clear expectations for the people of Seattle," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan in a statement released Wednesday afternoon. "As such, the Monitoring Plan complies with the requirements of the Settlement Agreement, does not impose new obligations on the parties, and avoids unnecessary delays while still providing an opportunity for collaborative implementation," Durkan said.
In the meantime, the Seattle Mayor and Seattle City Attorney continue to escalate their fight over who is authorized to give the city's stamp of approval for the monitoring plan. Mayor Mike McGinn publicly slammed the plan just hours after it was filed in federal court Tuesday, saying it's too slow to implement reforms and too costly.
McGinn sent a lengthy letter to City Attorney Pete Holmes on Tuesday, ordering him not to approve the plan on behalf of the city, even though Holmes maintains it's his job as elected city attorney to do just that.
"The ball is in Pete's court," said McGinn. "Is he going to accept direction from the executive branch of government, or will he go another direction?"
The Mayor said he would like to sit down with Holmes, Police Chief John Diaz and Bobb "to see if we can find a path forward together."
Holmes fired back with his own statement saying he's pleased that Mayor McGinn is ready to "work with us on the process of reform." But Holmes said he also hopes that the Mayor is rethinking his letter, which Holmes said was "filled with inaccurate and unwarranted accusations and assertions, and even called for litigation between the Mayor's office and our office."
Holmes said that "until the Mayor withdraws and disclaims" the letter and memorandum, "we will be forced to continue preparing a response."
For his part, Bobb said "I am not attempting to involve myself in Seattle politics." Bobb said his proposed plan is a collaborative one.
"Last week, when I was in Seattle, I spent the better part of three days negotiating with all the parties, listening to all their comments and their comments were all incorporated into the monitoring plan, so if the SPD wants to see if their comments were incorporated, it was, the mayor, it was," Bobb said.
The feud is escalating just as Bobb prepares to brief the Seattle City Council Monday, and update a federal judge Tuesday, on how Seattle intends to address problems of excessive force and concerns over biased policing.
"Some of this drama is exciting, it's interesting, it's not reform and it's not effective policing and that's really where I want to see us try to regain focus," said Seattle City Council President Sally Clark.

We have always valued the Mayor's and the Seattle Police Department's input and have considered them full partners in trying to achieve the best outcome for the City and the people of Seattle. We have always been open to meeting with the Mayor and all other interested parties to find the best way forward and resolve any differences. We certainly hope that the Mayor's statements on the radio today indicate that he is rethinking the letter and memorandum that he and Carl Marquardt, his legal counsel, sent to us yesterday -- a letter that was filled with inaccurate and unwarranted accusations and assertions, and even called for litigation between the Mayor's office and our office. Unfortunately, until the Mayor withdraws and disclaims yesterday's letter and memorandum, we will be forced to continue preparing a response. In the meantime, regardless of what the Mayor does, we are working diligently to prepare for next week's hearing before U.S. District James Robart and to address the issues presented by the monitoring plan.

Authorities are seeking more information that will direct them to the shooter who took the life of a man in Hancock County.
Sixty-year-old Nelson Garner was murdered Sunday night. His body was discovered in his deer processing business, Garner's Grinder, located on Highway 16 East in Sparta.
According to a press release issued Tuesday by the GBI, Garner's body was found by a relative inside the business.
Garner, who stayed in Hancock County and operated the business during hunting season, but was a resident of Cumming, was last seen alive at 4 p.m. Sunday, according to the press release. Garner's wife made an attempt to reach him, but was unsuccessful.
Agents from the GBI's Milledgeville Office are assisting in the investigation at the request of Hancock County Sheriff Tomlyn Primus. The case is being investigated as a homicide.
An autopsy was conducted Monday at the GBI Medical Examiner's Office.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Hancock Sheriff's Office at (706) 444-6471 or the GBI Tip Line at 1 (800) 597-TIPS (8477).

It's still early in the season. Teams are still trying to find their niche, that chemistry, that combination that will lead to a successful season.
Let's say for the time being, neither Silver Creek or Charlestown have found it. But for the Pirates, lessons learned resulted in a win on Tuesday as they watched a lead slip away before cashing in at crunch time for a 57-50 win over the visiting Dragons.
"We definitely had to find a way tonight," said Charlestown coach Sean Smith afterward. "There were a couple of times where we got up eight or so that I thought we should have built on it. But we had some mental lapses that let them back in it. They have some young talent and they took advantage of it.
"We have got to learn that killer instinct and we have to learn to win. Anytime you can get a win the way we did tonight is a positive."
After Silver Creek pulled to within 14-13 early in the second quarter, Charlestown (3-1, 2-1 Mid-Southern Conference) ran off seven straight points for a 21-13 lead. But the Dragons (1-4, 0-3) were able to pull to within 21-20 before the Pirates scored the last seven points of the half for a 28-20 halftime lead.
Behind the play of Shae Durham, who sat the first half, Silver Creek wasted no time in taking control of the game, taking the lead at the 3:57 mark on a basket by Gabe Bauer. The Dragons eventually built the lead to 38-34 before a late 3-ball by the Pirates' Justin Conrad made it a one- point game entering the fourth quarter.
Where it was Durham, whose nine third-quarter points got the Dragons back in the game, Chris Braun answered the bell for the Pirates in the final period. Braun, a starter who sat the first quarter had six points, hit all three of his field-goal attempts. As a team, the Pirates hit seven out of eight shots from the floor in the period, the only miss being a trey by Conrad who hit two more following the miss.
It was still anyone's game as Bauer hit two free throws to pull Silver Creek to within 52-50 with 1:40 left. Drew Reich then got loose for a layup, his only basket of the game for Charlestown. After both teams then exchanged turnovers, the Pirates' Aaron Daniel hit 2-of-2 at the line before Reich added 1-of-2 for the final margin.
"I had to bench Chris for the first quarter and he didn't respond well to it," said Smith. "But it was great there at the end to see him and Aaron and Justin, three of our seniors, to step up and show the leadership they did. We didn't have all of the guys together during the summer and with the success of the football team we had a late start. This was big."
Daniel led Charlestown with a game-high 15 points and was the only Pirate in double figures as all nine Pirates that saw action scored. Braun also led Charlestown with a game-high nine rebounds as the Pirates held a 37-27 advantage on the boards.
Bauer led Silver Creek with 14 points. Durham added 11.
"We had big problems tonight with free throws and rebounding," said Silver Creek coach Brandon Hoffman. "As a team, we have a slim margin of error and tonight we were too inconsistent from one possession to the next. That's a combination of youth and experience and being just five games into the season.
"We've lost three straight games and I feel we could have won them had we been mentally tougher."
Both teams will return to action on Friday as Charlestown hosts Providence, while Silver Creek entertains Jeffersonville.
"[Pioneers'] Coach [Lou] Lefevre is one of the best in this area and we have a great deal of respect for the Providence team," Smith said.
"We welcome the opportunities to play the Jeffersonville's and New Albany's," Hoffman said. "But if we do some of the things we did tonight, we'll get embarrassed."

Lesley students explore culture and history in Italy.
Given its historical prominence and cultural importance as the birthplace of the Renaissance, it's not surprising that Italy is the second most popular study abroad destination (after the United Kingdom) for students from the United States. Forty Lesley students have studied in Florence and Rome since 2010. Here are some recent reports from the field.
Lesley's long-time educational partner, the Lorenzo de'Medici Italian International Institute offers courses in arts and sciences, Italian language and culture, design and creative arts. Study abroad director, Claire Carroll, recently visited LDM's Florence campus, where she took this photo of one of LDM's painting studios.
across the river from LDM, on the opposite side of the Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge),
Lesley students Chandler Lupo and
Emma True spent the spring 2014 semester at AIFS's program at Richmond International University.
When not taking classes on women in Italian society, painting, and Italian, they frequented their favorite gelato shop (see their photo above right). Chandler is a Communications major and Emma is studying Early Childhood Education.
Animation and Marketing major Kara Mongell spent the spring 2014 semester at John Cabot University (JCU). JCU is in Rome, the country's capital city as well as home to some of the world's most spectacular ancient ruins. Kara was admitted to JCU through Academic Programs International (API), another of Lesley's study abroad partners. In addition to providing a warm welcome to student life in Rome, API helped Kara locate the cemetery where some of her ancestors are buried. Kara traveled there by bus and posed for this photo in front of her great-grandfather's tombstone. Visit her blog to read more about her adventures in Italy.
The journey through the countryside was more
mountainous and picturesque than the train to Pisa or the bus to Florence.

Oakley's Kaya Turski Wins Euro X Women's Slopestyle, Oakley's Jossi Wells Takes Third
The slopestyle course was officially destroyed today. The eight finalists for men's slopestyle took it upon themselves to slay it and everyone who attended the event today was not disappointed. After France's dominance in the halfpipe Wednesday, USA claimed the top two spots today, in the form of Tom Wallisch and Bobby Brown, 1st and 2nd respectively, and Jossi Wells coming in 3rd.
A sunny morning in Tignes Val Claret presided over the Women's Slopestyle finals, where it saw Kaya Turski win her second straight X Games gold medal this year.
The eight women tackled the long and demanding course with a certain amount of zeal, but in the end, Kaya's run was just too much for the rest of the field. Kaya's X Games medal percentage is now 100-percent (3-for-3 for those who care. Two golds and a bronze). Kaya's winning: 270 on 270 off, switch 360, switch on forward off, 720, 540, switch 540, rainbox rail to switch, switch 720. Keri Herman spun a bit less, but grabbed the hell out of her left and right 360s and 540s, and she was the only female to utilize the flat-down rail at the top of the course.
Grete Eliassen had trouble with her 450s off the 2nd rail all three runs, but was throwing down stylish 360 noses, 720s and 900s on the bottom air, the only competitor to do so.

The KTM Super Duke was first manufactured by KTM Sportmotorcycle AG in 2005, with the 990R model being introduced in 2008. KTM has been making motorcycles since 1954. The manufacturer is famous for making off-road and motocross bikes; the Super Duke is the Austrian manufacturer's successful entry into street riding and racing, with riders often referring to it as ""one hot toy."" The Super Duke also was referred to as ""an Austrian brute pumped full of steroids" by one reviewer. Early models were available in black with orange trim, but in 2010 KTM painted some parts on the basic 990 matte olive green. KTM retained its classic colors orange, black, and white for the 990R. Both models have ""SUPER DUKE"" boldly imprinted on the radiator shrouds.
This super-street bike features a powder coated chromium-molybdenum tubular trellis frame, in orange or silver, with black plastic bodywork. The exterior design has not been updated in several years, other than for colors, but the naked bike's design continues to look as new as models just recently introduced by other manufacturers. Users report the seat is comfortable for long rides, though short-legged riders could have problems with the 34.1-inch high seat; the one-piece driver's seat is made from vinyl. This super bike also is fast, taking only 11.1 seconds to reach a quarter-mile from a standing start. The Super Duke has 130 horsepower, giving it a top speed of approximately 136 mph, which is more than enough power for freeway riding. It also shines in its class on the racetrack. Some riders report the digital instrument panel, that includes a clock and an analog-style tachometer, can be difficult to read at high speeds.
Other technical details about this supersport bike include a wet double disc clutch, while the exhaust system utilizes a stainless steel silencer. The 17-inch diameter wheels are made from aluminum.

Meridian Star
Meridian will welcome competitors in the East Central High School Rodeo this weekend.
Rob Seals, director of the Lauderdale County Agri-Center, said Thursday that the competition begins tonight at 7 p.m. and will continue on Saturday.
"These kids are gunning for national titles. This is the heart of the rodeo season for a lot of the high school kids with their finals being in the summer," Seals said. "Everybody is on board right now. It's not one of those late spring rodeos where they don't have a shot at going to the state finals or the national finals. With that in mind, the doors are open and it's anybody's ball game at this point."
More than 240 people have registered to compete in rodeo. Tickets are $10 for a two-day pass. Those 18 and younger get in free if accompanied by an adult.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
Finding time to make handmade cards can be a challenge as we approach the holiday season but these 3 card designs can be put together in 10 minutes or less. They're simple yet still have a touch of creativity with paper piecing using some of the new Squeeze Punches as well as stamping with Fiskars' seasonal Simple Stick Repositionable Rubber Stamps.
Paper Pieced Christmas Tree Card:
Start by creating a 5 inch by 7 inch card from cardstock and pattern paper. Cut a smaller piece of pattern paper to fit inside this. Border Punch a Kaleidoscope strip and adhere it under the left side of the red pattern paper. Cut 2 circles (3.5 inch and 4 inch), layer and trim the outer circle with Scallop Paper Edgers.
Next, paper piece the Christmas Tree from the Cloud Squeeze Punches. The new Medium Cloud Squeeze Punch was just what I needed to top off this layered Christmas tree. Simply punch 5 or 6 cloud shapes and stack them on the circle. Add a small square of brown cardstock at the bottom for the trunk.
Add a Squeeze Punched star to the top with adhesive foam to complete the tree accent. Stamp the sentiment/greeting onto light colored pattern paper/cardstock and trim with scissors, then adhere to the bottom of the card with adhesive foam.
Stamped Penguin Card:
Stamp the card background with Simple Stick snowflake stamps using white opaque ink and let dry. In the meantime, stamp the penguin and sentiment/greeting onto light colored pattern paper. Add any additional coloring to the designs with markers of colored pencils. Use the Round 'n Round Squeeze Punches to punch the designs out.
Cut a Double Bubble Border Punched strip and a striped strip of paper, then adhere them across the center of the card. Cut another circle 2.5 inches from red and adhere the penguin circle to this. Trim with Scallop Paper Edgers and use the 1.16 Hole Punc on each curved scallop. Attach adhesive foam tape to the back and adhere it to the card.
Use the Everwhere Punch Window System with the Framed Punch to create the shape framing the sentiment. Normally, I would discard this piece since it has holes in it but the Large Round 'n Round circle Squeeze Punch (punched greeting circle) is the perfect size to cover up the holes. Adhere this to the left side bottom of the card to complete.
Holiday Swag Card:
Color block the last card with two wide strips of pattern paper and divide them with a narrow strip of paper adhered between them, as shown. Squeeze Punch a 1.5 inch circle, an Extra Large scalloped circle (Seal of Approval) and a Large heart Squeeze Punch (Amore) to create the center of the swag. Then Squeeze Punch several (6-8) Oakey Dokey leaves from green pattern paper for the branches.
Arrange and adhere the leaves as a "spray" or "swag" near the top left of the card. Stamp the sentiment/greeting onto light colored pattern paper, trim and adhere to bottom right to complete the card.

Being a radiator flush, can't really tell if it got rid of deposits or not. I'll assume it did. The reason for the average rating is that it does not mention in the directions that this product will foam up and out of the radiator when it starts to react with the deposits. I would buy it again. But next time I would not make the mess by just putting it in and immediately putting the radiator cap on and let it sit.Read All Reviews

Failed review SMASH puny Georgia iPhone
Over the last few years here at iMore, I've taken iPhones and iPads through the car wash and the dishwasher. I've tried to send them into orbit on model rockets and to the deep blue depths beneath toy race boats. I've sledded on them and wailed on them. I've even worn them in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fights and taken them on trips back to the future.
But I've never actually lost one. Not until now.
Georgia's iPhone 4. 2010 - 2012. Rest in pieces.
(I'll be back with a review of the case in question in a day or so, once I've gotten over my grief and trauma. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who's sent me Twitter love, it's appreciated!)
There are 23 comments. Add yours.
My god I would be so gutted if that was my phone.
Thank you for the review of the case and I really look forward to not purchasing one of those cases.
I think we should get a fund raiser together so we can get Georgia a repair.
About to watch the video. This is a sad day. We should all have a moment of silence on the podcast tonight in honor of Georias poor iPhone 4 :(
Sorry Georgia. :( This should go in the hall of fame next to Leo Laporte dunking his iPhone in water to test a new waterproofing service (also failed).
For those interested, Leo Laporte's review of Liquipel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGzxedgfiac&feature=youtu.be&t=29m21s (watch that for a few minutes, then fast forward to 1:13:45).
So sad about the screen cracking, but you can fix that. At least the iPhone was still working, and it can be fixed. Thanks for the honest review Georgia!
Now would be a great time to try out some custom looks on your iPhone!!
Well, that's certainly going to get a lot of sales (not!). I'd like to hear what Tech21 has to say about it.
I cringed when it dropped.. I can't lie.
Good news? Breaking Benjamin
Bad news? Breaking your iPhone
I feel so bad for Georgia. ...Definitely not cool to break your phone. However, that was nice review of that product. ...Again, thanks Georgia!
No psycho-self-loathing for you missy, pick them pieces up, toss them in a brown bag, pitch them out with the rest of the riff-raff you have to deal with every day and move it out !!! At least it wasn't your 4S or 5 !! (wishful thinking that you may already have one)....
But, sorry any how..sniff..sniff.. but I got faith....
I think I died a little on the inside, after seeing that. I could see it being fine if it fell on it's back, but that was a belly/face flop. :C
I felt "sick" when the phone was dropped (but then thinking what a great ad)....then felt "sick" again when the results were revealed. I guess the Flubber material was a fail.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Maybe it's a good excuse to get a 4S or that DIY guide is going to come in handy (http://www.imore.com/weekly-mod-diy-repair-broken-screen-attgsm-iphone-4) :) Should have waited until the new iPhone came out though...
About the case though, I don't think a non-Newtonian material would make a good case for a device with a glass screen because it is the vibrations from the impact that normally shatter the glass. The non-Newtonian material will actually aid in transferring the shock of the impact to the device.
Hi MrC,
The non-Newtonian material Tech21 uses in its cases, D3O, actually provides excellent impact absorption when the impact is against the case. Utilizing D3O allows us to create slim, attractive cases that can provide greater impact protection than the leading brands in market today. We have done head to head drop testing via 3rd party testing facilities to validate the impact absorption capabilities of our products.
D3O is utilized in many industries beyond ours. The US and UK militaries have begun to utilize the material for protective gear. Additionally, motorcycle clothing, tennis rackets, basketball shoes, lacrosse gear, etc. are now being developed utilizing this superior impact absorbing material.
If you were to peruse the D3O website you can see a listing of the many brands, big and small, that are now using this material to provide premium protection in their products:
Tech21 Americas
The only way that stuff could protect your phone, if you smeared a layer across the screen. Ally can show you how to replace the screen, and it will be good as new. So sorry for your trouble. The case company should give you a new phone.
Oh, second thought. To the husband of Georgia, buy her a new phone. This will help you get good points. Trust me, this will be good for you. She will be angry about something you did. When you ask her what you did she will say "you know" well just wipe that confuse look off your face, and say, " but honey I bought you a new phone" she will tear up a little, give you a hug, and all is forgiven. Of course you will never find out what you did, but for now she is happy. Remember, happy wife, happy life.
Sad day! Especially since it wouldn't have been quite so hard if it was mid-to-late September with the next iPhone right around the corner. However, what'd be more interesting would be a video detailing the 5 stages of grief over your iPhone loss as you experience them; kinda like the one with the 3 year-old girl and her goldfish. For the good of the profession, Georgia!
Ouch. Poor baby!
Then again, it's only the screen. It can be fixed. But probably not so cheaply...
So sorry, Georgia...
If you need to cuddle, let me know ;)
Sorry about your phone but this is your chance to document how easy (?) it is to replace the screen on an iphone. When I broke mine, I purchased a new screen at icracked for about $70US and 1 1/2 hours later had a fully functioning iphone again.
I suggest if you do the repair that you get out all your muffin tins to sequentially store all the screws that come out.
We'd all enjoy the (edited) video, I'm sure.
Georgia runs into the emergency apple store: "SAVE MY BABY! ><"
It was bount to happen sometime... was it the monster truck rally test?
Hi Georgia,
We at Tech21 are very sorry that your first test drop resulted in shattered glass on your iPhone. Our cases, that utilize D3O non-newtonian material, are intended to provide the highest level of protection without all the bulk, for the areas of your iPhone that are covered. The reality of a direct drop on the exposed glass of your iPhone, with all brands of cases in the market, is that you can end up with the same results you experienced.
While Tech21 makes slim cases with true impact protection, your video demonstrates the need for some type of Impact Shield to further protect the vulnerable glass screens on iPhones and iPads. I wouldn't be surprised if such a product were to make its way to the market soon, and into your hands to demonstrate!!
We love your reviews and you so much that we would like to ensure your iPhone is repaired on us this time. Someone from our team will reach out to you directly to ensure this is taken care of for you.
Thank You,
Tech21 Americas

There are so many effected by the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut last week and Sandy Hook Elementary School. Certainly, those most directly effected are the families who lost loved ones in the shooting. Everyone responds to trauma and the pain it causes in different ways.
One of the hardest things to do is to press through the pain, but often that is the healthiest way to find strength and comfort. To face the pain takes a tremendous resolve and courage. It takes the determination to not let someone else's poor and tragic choices define who we are in our lives or in our response. Many things and other persons are out of our control, but we can control ourselves. We determine how to remember those we have lost. We determine how we are choosing to face the future. We determine whether we can extend forgiveness to others that have so hurt us so we can be controlled by love rather than fear and anger.
I encourage you to watch the video of a news conference held by Robbie Parker, a father of one of the children who was killed. His courage reflect on the joy of his daughter and to express love to others, even the shooter's family; was a significant step taken on a long road to healing for him and his family.
Pain is an inevitable part of our lives. No one in their right mind enjoys pain or seeks for pain. However, we can find hope in our pain. We can hope and pray that the weeping that will last many nights for the families in Newtown will uncover mornings that come with the miracle of joy that will come even when life does not make sense.
I hope these words can bring some strength and encouragement to you.

From corked bottle...poured in Eku tulip pils glass.
Modest cork pop...dark red brown...small head.
Aroma of funky sour fruit.
Modest carbonation and mouthfeel.
Flavors of sour mango, minerals, slight booze, oak, raspberry...lets give it 5 minutes to open up...
OK...small head on the edges, funky fruit aroma, rich wild funky fruit flavors. This reminds me of some funky Russian River brews, which attests to the barrel aging complexity. Is it brewed to style...what style...barrel aged red?!!
More challenging than their New World Tripel and other big SA specialty brews, but for the funky, sour beer seeker, really lovely. For others, challenging at a minimum. Buyer beware!!

I know I may be in the minority in this one, but this beer tastes like straight teriyaki sauce. It may just be the bottle I drank (I hope so) but the taste was just horrible. The coloring and mouthfeel is alright, but otherwise, avoid this at all costs.

Sampling right now on 6/12/14. Comes in a beautiful painted-on label in a '1 pt. 9.4 oz.' bottle that has a metal cap and a cork and costs $8.49 + tax. Bottle chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooler and poured into a Sam Adam's pint glass.
Pours a pretty deep mahogany in color with a good 2+-finger off-white head that settles down a to a thin layer on top and sides of the glass. Spotty lacing is seen when sipped. Lots of sediment left in the bottom of the bottle. The aroma is of dark fruit, toasted malts from a oak barrel. The taste is really complex with a tart cherry at first which is quickly overtaken by the oak that finishes with a slightly vinegar finish. More probably going on for sure but is hard to pin-point. Overall a different brew but tasty.

3.95/5 rDev +5.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Note: This beer has been improperly stored for at least five years. Temps reaching well over 90 degrees in the summers.
A - Poured gently into a tulip glass. The beer is a hazy orange brown with virtually no head. No lacing.
S - The aroma is actually quite nice. I really gives good insight into what to expect. Strong, but not overpowering acidic notes. A little sweet.
T - Given how long this had been sitting for, I was a little worried. Worries were all unfounded. The dominant flavor is something like brown sugar, but it's subdued and contrasted with a tartness that grows with each sip and/or as the beer warms. Lightly citric acid. There is also oak in the background. The 9% alcohol is barely present in terms of flavor.
M - Not too much here. Billed as full-bodied but it doesn't feel that way to me. More like medium. Mild heat/tingle of the alcohol on the finish is nice.
O - This is a nice refreshing beer! I was surprised that it held up for so long and I'm strongly considering picking up another just to see what it would be like fresh. If I do so I'll certainly update the review.

Poured from a bottle into a perfect pint glass. 4/23
Pours reddish tinged brown, lighter on bottom. Some white foam sits atop. Caramel notes, light malty sweetness. Little oak in there. Light sour taste that builds to a pucker. Woodsy sour. Cherry fruit mixed. Full bold mouthfeel. Really good.

750 ml cork and caged bottle poured into a tulip.
A - Deep ruby mahogany in color, this clear beer's effervescent and tall off-white head falls pretty quickly from the acidity in the beer but doesn't hesitate at leaving lacing on the glass.
S - Slight acidity moves in on the mouthwatering earthy funk and vinegar-like sourness that overlaps toasted malts. Nutty bread thinly spread with dark fruit jam adds layers of complexity beyond the forward yeast nose for an aroma worth embracing.
T - Toasted oak joins toasted malts for a delicious collaboration of earthy wood and complex bready flavors on the tongue. Over ripe stone fruit dipped in vinegar and finished off with an injection of acidity gently overlaps the beer's differently fruity warming alcohol finish.
M - Stony Brook Red's smooth entry gracefully changes to a lightly bubbly finish that's accented by light tartness and a faint sour bite on the finish that gently warms the innards with it's almost unnoticeable 9% ABV.
O - Samuel Adams greatest achievement with Stony Brook Red is making a near double-digit alcohol beer drink like half its content. This Flanders Red, if you will, has a nice touch of oak aging and funky sourness to it that creates a different experience but it's greatest achievement is also it's undoing I feel. The strength in numbers doesn't shine through, but the slightly heavier body and fuller maltiness leads this beer down a path of less drinkability; a detour from the course the style originally intended. It's nice to see big brewers like this playing around with sour beers though.

3.46/5 rDev -8%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: deep garnet. almost brown. a finger or two of a tan head that fades slowly and leaves a fairly strong lacing. dark but a strong brightness some good clarity
Smell: a weak fruit, maybe some cherries or raspberries. lots wooden and earthiness to it. some brett funk but nothing too strong
Taste: opens up with just a little bit of cherry that is quickly taken over by wood and earthiness has a good amount of vinegar to it. full of a good but not over powering
Mouthfeel: medium body. strong acidity to it. some what sticky and leaves behind some brett.
Overall: this beer has some good qualities to it (brightness and good brett balance) but overall its a little too vinegary and acidic for me. the flavors aren't quite developed for me.

Wednesday was national college football signing day — an annual holiday for many sports geeks and dedicated alumni — when high school seniors can officially sign a commitment letter to continue their athletic and academic careers at a specific college or university.
It's a big deal; not because ESPN dedicates an entire channel to tracking the signings or because the names of 18-year-old kids are sent trending in the Twitterverse, but because of what the day represents in the broader scope of a young person's life.
College football is important. We like it. It's fun to watch and follow through the fall and into the winter. And while college football has made signing day a media sensation — following recruiting has become its own niche industry — it is still just a small part of what the day represents. So, while analysts dramatically sort out the hierarchy of college football's top programs on television, we'd like to recognize those future college student-athletes who may not get the love from ESPN or grab headlines in major newspapers.
It doesn't matter if a kid is going to Notre Dame on a full football scholarship or is paying their own way to Goshen College to play soccer; making it to college and committing to a team is impressive at any level. The "superstar" athletes may get the bulk of the attention (and they have earned it by making the most of their talents), but their accomplishment is no more special than that of their future college classmates and teammates.
Locally, Concord senior DuWhan Alford signed Wednesday to play football for Eastern Michigan University. We'd like to congratulate Alford on this great moment in his life. We'd also like to congratulate the many other high school student-athletes who have committed to participate in college athletics next school year. They are: Gaby Romo, (Goshen) soccer at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne; Sarah Emerson (Concord) soccer, St. Joseph's College; Jackie Greenawalt (Concord) soccer, St. Joseph's College; Sophie Brown (Fairfield) track, University of South Florida; Aimee Swihart (Goshen) basketball, Bethel College; KiLee Knafel (Wawasee) basketball, IUSB; Tim Johnson (Concord) golf, Bethel College; Lindsay Ziegler (NorthWood) track and field, Bethel College; and Dylan Gessinger (NorthWood) golf, Marian University.
ESPN may not have shown up, but we're proud of all of these young people and the example they have set by working hard and achieving their goals.
