General Order Processing
What happens when I order items on your web site?
<-- Return To Top
When you have selected your items and they are in the shopping cart and you have filled out your billing and shipping information, submitted it, and verified it - a page will appear that you can print or save electronically. This is your invoice / receipt. We also receive an automatic invoice indicating you have placed an order. Basically this is treated as a request for us to check stock and communicate back to you if stock is available. Additionally, at this point, your credit card has been approved for the transaction amount via a 3rd party credit card processing company. Your credit card is not charged at this time. We are able to check stock via our supplier's computer system and therefore are able to ascertain stock information 24/7. Therefore, you will be sent an email within 12 hours after placing your order informing you of stock availability and the status of your order.
When we ascertain that the items you ordered are in stock, a purchase order is automatically sent to our supplier. We also alert you via email that your order has been processed and we provide you with an anticipated ship date. We try to be conservative with this estimate. Shipping often occurs prior to the date provided.
If the items you ordered are not in stock, we will notify you via email of this condition and let you know the available options. We will not process your order further until you tell us, via email, how you would like us to proceed. If you accept a backorder condition, you will not hear from us until your order ships or 2 weeks passes whichever comes first. If you provide us with a comment - in the comments area of your order - letting us know that a backorder condition is acceptable, your order will be processed without the additional communication via email. When "Special Order" is listed in the item description, the part will most likely have to be backordered.
If your order requires adjustment, we will email you a new invoice for your review and acceptance. When you notify us via email that you concur with the new invoice we will process your order further.
When your order ships, whether normally or after being placed on backorder, we provide you with the ship date and the tracking information when it becomes available. This notification usually happens the day after shipping has occurred but sometimes it takes a day or two to process this information.
When you receive the tracking information, you can check the shipper's proposed arrival date via the internet. Our suppliers usually ship via UPS but sometimes use other shippers as necessary.
When we receive the electronic invoice from our supplier indicating shipping has occurred, we begin the process of charging your credit card. This can happen the same day or several days after shipping has occurred.
You can check the status of your order or print a copy of your invoice 24 hours a day 7 days a week by selecting the "Order Status" link in the header of our home page at www.BestHomeSystems.com. Input your invoice number and last name and you can see the most up to date information regarding your order status.
Credit Card Processing
What happens when I when I give you my credit card number?
<-- Return To Top
When you supply us with your credit card information via the web site or phone, your credit card number and billing information is sent via a secure connection to our 3rd party credit card processing company that we use as a merchant to approve the transaction and eventually charge your credit card. This processing center either approves the transaction or denies it. For the processing center to approve your transaction, the billing information you provide to us must match the billing information your credit card company has on file for you. If there is a match, the processing center tells us that the transaction has been approved and that you have provided enough correct information to reasonably verify that you are indeed the credit card owner. Your credit card has NOT been charged at this point - the transaction has only been approved. When we receive confirmation from our supplier(s) that your order has shipped, we then request the credit card processing company to capture the transaction. It is at this time that the funds begin the transfer process from your credit card company to our account. This takes from 12 to 36 hours to occur. This is the process of charging your credit card.
Handling and Retention of Information You Supply to
Do you share or sell any of my information - personal or otherwise?
Do you retain my credit card or personal information?
<-- Return To Top
Absolutely no information about you or your purchase is sold or given to a 3rd party except as required to process your order. Your name and address remain in our accounting database for no more than one year. We purge our database regularly. Additionally, for your protection and ours, your credit card number and expiration date is only contained within our secure database for 2 months and is then deleted. After you have received your order and the return period has passed, there is simply no reason for us to have your credit card information. We do not engage in mailing lists or spam schemes of any kind.
Shipping Calculator
Can I find out how much shipping will cost without giving my personal information?
<-- Return To Top
Absolutely! Our shopping cart contains a UPS shipping calculator. Enter your items into the shipping cart using the button. In the yellow box input your zip code. Click the "Submit" button. Now, select the "Select a Shipping Option" drop down button and select "Ground" or " 2-Day Air". The shipping cost for the items you have selected to the zip code you have input will be displayed. Remember, the zip code must be correct or the calculator will give you an inaccurate result. We do not mark up shipping charges.
Use of Email Address
Why do you want my email address?
<-- Return To Top
Communication! We believe that by keeping you informed with regard to the status of your order, it saves both of us time, money, and most importantly - frustration. Therefore, we will communicate with you during every phase of getting your order from our suppliers to your front door. We have had fantastic results from making communication with our customers a number one priority. This is why it is important that you provide us with a good email address. Things rarely go wrong, but when they do, it is nice to know that we are going to alert you good, bad, or indifferent. And, we are going to keep you posted when everything is proceeding smoothly as well. We do not want you wondering what happened to your order or when it might arrive. We do not use your email address at any later date for any reason. After you have received your order you will not hear from us again unless you contact us first.
Telephone & Mail Orders
Can I order over the telephone or via mail?
<-- Return To Top
Absolutely! However, we encourage you to order via the web site because the information you provide is then automatically downloaded into our accounting system, thus eliminating the chance for errors that can occur from typo's and miscommunication. Another positive point for web input is that your credit card is automatically approved via a secure connection. Additionally, your order is then in our web order system (shopping cart) and information regarding your order status can be obtained via the "Order Status" link located in the header of our web site. If you have special instructions, you may include them in the comments section of the order pages. Should something need to be communicated after you order - simply send us an email.
Should you want to make a telephone order, we will be happy to take your order over the phone at our toll free number. After your order has been taken, we will send you an electronic invoice for your approval prior to processing your order. This way we eliminate the possibility that there is a transcription error. When you have had to opportunity to review the transaction and information, and you concur via email, we will process your order and ship the goods you ordered. Mail-in orders are handled much the same way, except your order is held until payment has been received and cleared your banking institution, or arranged via a credit card approval. You are sent an email stating such and your order is processed. In either case, you may feel free to leave your name, credit card number, and expiration date on our answer machine. It is secure. Our order processors are the only people that have access to our answer system and have been trained to know what to do with and how to treat your valuable information.
Delivery Times
How long will my order take to get to me?
<-- Return To Top
A large percentage of the time, ordered items are in stock and the order is shipped the same day ordered or the following business day. Less frequently, orders ship 2 to 3 days following receipt. Usually these orders are orders that require our communication with the customer to fix or resolve something to complete processing. Rarely do orders ship later than 5 days from receipt by us unless in a backorder status or special circumstances in which case you are alerted via email and will have the opportunity to have a say in your order's activity.
We drop ship from a large supplier who has multiple warehouses across the USA. If the items you ordered are in stock, the item could potentially be on your doorstep the next day. This depends upon whether there is stock in a warehouse near you, which is often the case. Our supplier strives to ship from the warehouse nearest your location that has stock.
Are you able to ship faster than "standard ground"?
We often receive requests for rush orders. We make every effort to accommodate requests made in the comments section of the order form or by email. We do not ship overnight. 2 day shipping requires special handling by us with our suppliers and can usually be arranged. However, many items ship from the warehouse nearest your location and it is often quicker and less expensive to utilize ground shipping. We will notify you via email if you request 2 day air and this condition applies to your order.
We will do everything possible to meet your requirements, and frequently it is possible to do so. However, on occasion, things do not always work as planned. If your life depends on your order being there tomorrow, we invite you to shop elsewhere. We are not trying to be rude or abrasive - we are really quite friendly and easy to work with - but things sometimes go wrong. It is not how we planned it - it just happens – rarely, but it happens. For example: we did not plan for UPS to destroy an order 3 days after it shipped while being transferred from one hub to another. Yes, this has happened. The customer was not happy. Neither were we. As soon as our supplier confirmed the condition, a new order was reshipped in its entirety at no charge to our customer.
Do you have it in stock?
<-- Return To Top
We are an authorized reseller for, and drop ship from, several nationwide suppliers. If in the description of the item it says "Normally Stocked" there is a very high probability that our suppliers have the item available for immediate shipment. If in the description of the item it says "Special Order" it is highly likely that the item will have to be backordered.
We have access to our supplier's computers and
can ascertain an inventory condition 24/7.
As soon as we have verified stock availability, we will send you an email indicating our findings. Our order takers are not immediately able to verify stock via the telephone as the request must go through our on line stock verification process. This can often be accomplished in a few minutes and one of our order processors will gladly call you back with that information.
Shipping outside the USA
Do you ship outside the USA?
Will you ship to a military APO?
<-- Return To Top
We do not ship outside the United States. We do ship to Hawaii and Alaska via UPS 2 day air or the new UPS 5 day ground (additional shipping charges may apply). We do ship to our military customers via an APO address. Please click here to E-Mail us for special instructions regarding APO orders.

The beneficiary of the 2015 Grocery Charity Ball is Autism New Zealand, the pre-eminent provider of services and support for people on the Autism Spectrum and those who support them.
The Autism New Zealand branches are operated by volunteers with some offices employing field staff or support co-ordinators. Each branch offers various levels of support, including holiday programmes, music therapy, social skills programmes, coffee mornings, regular meetings with guest speakers, and pre-school support.
Donations are an important part in assisting this organisation to continue their work. Funding from the Grocery Charity Ball will go a long way towards helping Autism New Zealand achieve their goals.Autism and Asperger syndrome still remain as relatively unknown disabilities among the general population. Yet it is estimated that autism spectrum disorders are approximately four times as common as cerebral palsy and 17 times as common as Down's syndrome – touching the lives of over 40,000 people and their families throughout New Zealand.
An autism spectrum disorder is a life-long disability, but there are ways of alleviating some difficulties, especially if a child is diagnosed early and receives appropriate intervention early in life. Special education programmes and structured support can really make a difference to a child's life, helping to maximise skills and achieve full potential in adulthood.
The Trustees of The Grocery Charity Ball are proud to support this worthy cause. Trustee, Chairman Don Graham commented: "One person in 100 has an Autism Spectrum Disorder, so the opportunity for us to help fund Autism New Zealand as the 2015 Grocery Charity Ball beneficiary is heart-warming."
The 2015 Grocery Charity Ball will be held in Auckland at The Langham on Saturday the 29th August, and with the appointment of another worthy beneficiary, it is likely to be a sell-out once again.
Make sure you secure your table at this 'not to be missed' event by confirming your booking with Jackie Coyne email@example.com 0274 946 211 or Alex Mitchell firstname.lastname@example.com 0272 757 222 at S2N Events. Or make a pre-booking via our contact page.
Established in 2004, the Grocery Charity Ball is the premier event on the grocery industry's social calendar, and directs the profits to charitable trusts in New Zealand. The annual event is held with the support of both Foodstuffs and Progressive, as well as the New Zealand Food & Grocery Council.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency - What Is It?
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a long-term medical condition that occurs because of partial vein blockage or blood leakage around the valves of the veins, typically in the deeper leg veins. While normal valves in your veins keep your blood flowing back towards the heart so it does not collect in one place, the valves in varicose veins are either damaged or missing. This causes the veins to remain filled with blood, posing multiple health risks. Untreated varicose veins can lead to long term CVI.
Read more about vein disease and varicose vein treatment options.
Warning Signs for Varicose Veins and CVI
- Dull aching, heaviness, or cramping in legs
- Itching and tingling
- Pain that gets worse when standing and better when legs are raised
- Swelling of the legs
- Redness of the legs and ankles
- Skin color changes around the ankles
- Varicose veins on the surface (superficial)
- Thickening of the skin on the legs and ankles
- Ulcers on the legs and ankles
Learn more about the symptoms of varicose veins by visiting our website. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact a vein center today to determine the need for treatment.
Treatment Options for Venous Insufficiency
Treatment of varicose veins is critical to your health and should be addressed as soon as possible. Learn more about treatment options, and discuss them with a vein specialist to determine the best fit for your needs.

I wish I could do that - sewing
The more I admire what other people can do with these things. And there is not even a reason to admire from afar, no, these people sell the beautiful pieces that I can just dream of making. Our guild has some talented members in this section and I want you to share some of my favorite pieces with me.
I am a cat person, so of course this handmade purse appealed to me right away.
"Materialised" has this Cool Cats Purse in her ArtFire studio. Very cool indeed, not only the fine fabric, but also the details. Look at the smug little cat faces!
I also like movies and the first movie I ever saw going to the cinema all by myself was "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Indiana Jones, my hero - I wanted to be his Marion.
Are you a fan, too? So why not get your very own Indy to live with? Check out the "The House of Mouse" and this cute little fellow.
Are you ready to meet Elvis now? The King is alive! In this case he has changed from sparkly white suits into red fur, though. This Elvis is a parrot and what a cute one at that!
The studio where you can find him looking for a partner who will play with him is "Eddy's Pressies". He's not the only cutie awaiting you there.
Last, but not least we'll bring a little bit of old times into this modern world with a special bag from "m.a.p.h.i.a".
Look at this gorgeous pompadour, fit for a queen. And you as well.
I hope you enjoyed the little trip through the wonderland of thread and needle. I sure did :-D

Europe Trivia : France
I was told that the name "France" comes from "Frank", a Germanic tribe that invaded the Western Roman Empire in the 6th Century and founded the first independent kingdom covering most of today's France.
Modern France is about the same size as the American State of Texas, and has seven mountain ranges - the Alps, Pyrenees, Jura, Vosges, Auvergne, Morvan and Corsican. It has nearly 3,000 miles of coastline, and is bounded by three major bodies of water, the Atlantic (in the Bay of Biscay), the Mediterranean, and the English Channel, or, as the French call it, "La Manche". France borders eight other European countries - Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, Andorra and Monaco. Wow!
The French are world famous for their art, fashion, fragrances and style. From the cave paintings of prehistory in the Dordogne to today, the French have loved and produced great art, as the names on this list of artists shows - Poussin, Watteau, Fragonard, Delacroix, Gericault, Monet, Gaugin, Rodin, Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Braque...I could go on (and on) ...
The French are also famous for their romantic ways, but on a friendly level they traditionally greet each other with a kisses on the cheek. The number of kisses varies according to which region you are in, from one at the tip of Brittany (too close to the stiff upper lips of England, perhaps?), to four in Paris and most of the North, and even up to five in Corsica (in the passionate Mediterranean!)
Like the Belgians, the French love good food. Do you know that there are two cookbooks published every day in France? They have at least 365 different varieties of cheese (one for every day of the year) and better still, about 450 AOC wines!
Despite that, they are healthy folk, having some of the best life expectancy rates and lowest rates of obesity in Europe, and they are clever too...France has won the most Nobel Prizes for Literature of any Country in the world (including other nationals who have made France their home) - from the very first , Sully Pudhomme, in 1901 to the most recent, J-M. G. Le Clezio, last year - and the second highest (to the USA) number of recipients of the Fields Medal for Mathematics.
What a wonderful place! She is "La belle France" indeed.
Item of the Day
I just adore boro beads - they have such a unique look with their coloured centres surrounded by a sea of clear glass.
The bracelet has an adjustable sterling silver toggle clasp - total length is 8.5 inches but can be shortened to 7.5 inches.

Item of the Day
I have always lived close to the sea and I love it...the sound of the waves; the changing moods; the smell of the seaweed; the cries of the gulls.
The boro beads in this necklace remind me of the colours of the sea. It's like you have your own little piece of the sea with you wherever you go.

I wish I could do that
Getting to the heart of the matter
My True Colours logo is based on the open heart, but the European Artfire Guild has talented craftspersons who put me to shame with their gorgeous hearts!
One thing I have great admiration for, having tried my hand at it for just one day, is lampwork. This I do wish I could do, but one can spread oneself too thinly... Christa of Luccicare Lampwork has a whole set of heart beads she creates from glass and embellishes with a silver core to run a broad chain through. I am hoping she will soon post a gorgeous violet/purplish one I came across on a Flickr site, like this blue one but more majestic.
Continuing with the lampwork theme, there are hearts from Bab's Beads and Design
Earrings and necklaces in the blue/green colours that relate to the subtle heart, in fused glass from DichroicDazzle,
and in lampwork from Gwendoline
and a lovely necklace in silver with lampwork beads from Silver-Soul-Designs
One of a number of gorgeous enamelled copper heart pendants from Paintboxcrafts caught my eye:
A specialist in hearts is Gillian of iheartcrafts. She makes a variety of heartshaped items in clay and in fabric:
A lovely silver heart pendant from Alibalijewellery
A piece from The Sheriff's Daughter that she calls 'Heavy Heart', with a tiger iron pendant, I'd be inclined to call it 'Heart of the Tiger':
Hearts are really popular! Look and you will find many, many more of them in our Artfire Shops! My last choices for something I do wish I could do, or could have the patience to do, are the lovely collaged card from The Spotted Sparrow, a card she has called simply 'Beloved':
and the gorgeous Valentine mouse from The House of Mouse.
Heartfelt wishes for enjoyable browsing in our studios!
Item of the day
These earrings are from textured sterling silver spirals in combination with aventurine and garnet.
Lightweight, comfortable and the perfect little color for everyday's wardrobe.

- Nils Bohlin (1920-2002) was a Swedish inventor who invented the three-point safety belt while working at Volvo.
- Tetra Pak (1951) is an invention for storing, packaging and distributing liquid foodstuffs, for example, milk and juice. Erik Wallenberg (1915–99) was the main inventor, while businessman Ruben Rausing (1895–1983) developed and produced it.
You have probably heard Swedish bands and artists like : ABBA, Roxette, Ace of Base, Europe and those. So I thought I'd make a little playlist with some newer ones - that you've probably heard.. but still, enjoy!

Item of the day: Grass green Mother of two goddess
This is one of my Mother of two goddesses. I make godesses in several different glasses and styles, but I want them all to look like real women since I can't relate to those silicon, push up goddesses you see everywhere. (I'm over 40 and have two kids - you can see where I got the name...)
This one has a core of grass green glass and an etched surface that gives her a very soft feeling - almost like real skin!

Byhand . . . Eggcentricity Jewels' Ewanna
Hello, I'm Ewanna (pronounced with a w for non Greeks) and I am the owner/designer of Eggcentricity Jewels based in Patras, Greece. I am half Greek and half American mix of Irish, English and Native American. I was born and raised in the hills of West Virginia, USA; married a fellow Greek and moved to Texas for 10 years before finally returning to my roots here in Greece.
It is this wonderful, eclectic mix of backgrounds that have created the artist that I am. It's very hard not to be influenced by the natural beauty of the places I've lived or by their histories.
That's why crafting is so important to me -- it gives me the opportunity to express all of that beauty and the wonderful mix that is me. I cannot remember a time after the age of six when I was not crafting. My mother's family isn't Greek and for many generations had lived in West Virginia (the poorest state in the US) hills. They were farmers and had large families to feed and clothe. One of my fondest memories is of my great-grandmother and her philosophy of if it can be made by you by hand, you make it. You don't by anything that you can make or learn to make. Great-granda had 21 children to raise and no income outside of the farm buried deep in those WV hills. She had to learn to do everything for herself. I learned my lessons well.
Today there are very few crafts that I have not tried or mastered. I started with needlework at age six and now do all but bobbin lace or tatting. I sew anything and everything and for many years supplemented my income by being a professional seamstress. Beading and jewelry making came a bit later as a profession rather than a hobby just for personall use. I needed something that I could do from home with my youngest daughter, who is very talented in her own right, and everyone always wanted the jewelry I made and wore. I gave away so much that my hubby started to complain about the costs. So Eggcentricity Jewels was born.
My studio is probably the center of my universe. It's not very big but it has the morning sun and a wonderful wooden floor (the main rooms of my apratment have marble floors) so I can go barefoot without freezing my tootsies off. It is jammed packed with boxes of gemstone beads, fabrics brought from the US for sewing, the books I use to teach English as a Second Language, my computer station with all of its many, many add-ons and my design desk which is always in a state of mad chaos. I always have something in the works. My only regret is that my studio isn't as big as my living room. I desperately need more space to accomodate all of my crafting supplies and design areas.
Even though my great grandmother passed on several years ago her maxim about not buying manufactured goods except when unavoidable is what I try to live by. I firmy believe that if a person is willing totake the time to learn to do something well and likes/loves what they have learned then the things that they make or the repairs around the home that they do will most certainly be of a higher standard than those mass produced or done by a stranger.
The next art form that I hope to be able to learn is the srt of making lampwork glass beads. I love their beauty and the skill it takes to work with liquid glass to create infinite detail on such a small scale. Until I learn how to do it myself, I'll have to be satisfied with collecting the work of others.
I came across Artfire by being a regular customer of Foxy Findings and the now defunct Pizazz Works shops owned by Kay and John Jacobs. I love the work Kay Jacobs does and her videos were a source of easy to follow instructions on various techniques in jewelry making.
My plans for Eggcentricity Jewels are to see it grow into a brand that people will be as proud to own as I am to design and to become a sought after product. However, I do have one rule that I closely adhere to: I don't make duplicates. I, personally hate it when I go somewhere and everyone is wearing the same things. So, when I started selling my jewelry I made a solemn oath to myself that i would never make two items exactly the same and that I would always be totally honest with my customers concerning the gems, metals, and beads used in the items I make. That is why I am one of the founding members of the Jewelry Integrity Group, where we guarantee the quality of our work, stand behind it 100% and guarantee customer satisfaction.
I hope you have enjoyed this brief introduction, I could go on for days, and that you will click on the title of this post to visit my Artfire studio and from there my other sites as well.
Καλημέρα σε όλους! (A good day to all!)

The Wetzel County Farm Bureau held its Meet the Candidates Night April 9 at the Wileyville Fire Hall. Seventeen candidates from state, county, and local races participated and over 50 members of the community came out to hear and meet the candidates.
Candidates were given the opportunity to introduce themselves and give a brief overview of their campaign. At the end of the program the crowd was given the opportunity to ask the candidates questions.
"The event went very smoothly and the question session was very informative," said Bob Yeager, WCFB president.

Two candidates for West Virginia's Commissioner of Agriculture were in attendance; incumbent Gus Douglass is not seeking re-election.
Joe Mesinio from Roane County said he has been president and vice president of the Roane County Farm Bureau for the last 18 years and he has 46 years of experience with the United States Department of Agriculture.
"I want to move West Virginia forward," said Mesinio. "I feel very strongly that the small family farm is in trouble."
He said he wants to see the state meet the increasing demand for locally produced fresh meat, fruits, and vegetables. "The department is not looking at stuff like that," said Mesinio. He also believes food safety is a very important aspect of the job and he said currently the state only has one food safety inspector.
"When I get into the Department of Agriculture I'm going to carry you into the 21st century," promised Mesinio.
The other candidate for that office in attendance was Steve Miller who lives in Mineral County and has a farm in Hampshire County. Miller, who has an agriculture degree from West Virginia University, has worked with the department since 1981. Having worked in almost every county, Miller said he has found there are distinct regions and needs in the Mountain State.
The department's top priority, he said, is food safety. "We have about a seven-day supply of food in grocery stores and that's pretty scary when you think about it," said Miller.
The farm economy in the state generates a half-billion dollars per year. The farms need to be maintained and continue to build for the future. "We need to get our small farms profitable," said Miller. "The small ones are important."
Three candidates for Wetzel County Commissioner attended: Cecilia Jane Ries, Allen Rush, and incumbent Bob Gorby.
Ries said she believes the county commissioners need to be "out and about" the county. "Being a commissioner is a full-time job," she stated, adding that people need to know their commissioners are there for the citizens not just at election time, but any time. "This county belongs to the residents of Wetzel County," said Ries. From the St. Joseph's Settlement area, Ries said she is a member of New Martinsville American Legion, Quota Club, Moose, and VFW Auxiliary in Moundsville.
Gorby said during his 11-and-a-half years in office, "We have accomplished quite a few projects. I want to continue to work seven days a week for the people." He cited work at the courthouse such as paving the parking lot, installing the elevator, and cleaning the exterior as well as work at the 4-H camp where there are now 148 water and electric hookups for campers and all new blacktop roads on the property. Finally, he wanted to make clear that "the county commission has nothing to do with the roads." That is one issue about which he receives many phone calls.
Rush said, "If elected, what I would like to do is work with our outlying towns and communities." He also wants to mainly work with the area's youth. Hopefully county revenue will increase along with the gas gathering activity and Rush said he would like to see the sheriff's department first in line for that. He also plans to work with local elected delegates to keep infrastructure improving, working to get whatever they can from the state to work on the road problems. "I won't promise you anything, but I'll do what I can do," said Rush.
Five candidates for sheriff stated their qualifications and plans for the office if elected. They were Rob Haught, John Brookover, Mark Eller, Jeff Montgomery, and Jeffrey-Frank Jarrell who looks to be on the ballot for sheriff in the general election for the Constitution Party.
Haught, a 52-year-old lifelong resident of Wetzel County, is a 1977 graduate of Magnolia High School and attended West Liberty State College (now University). He is a graduate of the West Virginia State Police Academy and a certified law enforcement instructor who has received advanced training at Quantico, Va., and Glencoe, Ga. Since 1995 he has received over 1,000 hours of in-service training. "I believe this is very important. A lot of that training is in management and leadership," said Haught who is also on the Special Response Team (SRT) and is a U.S. Special Deputy on the fugitive task force for the U.S. Marshall's office. His goals for the office are to create a satellite office on the Short Line, drug task force with surrounding areas, senior citizens advisory panel, as well as address the mental hygiene transportation issue that is draining the department's budget.
Brookover, 64, recently retired from WCSD with 26 years as a deputy. He is a 1966 graduate of MHS and served in the Marine Corp. in Vietnam. He is a graduate of the WVSP Academy and has received 16 hours of continuing education every year. Brookover's main goal is to protect and serve the public. "I believe I treated the citizens of the county with respect and honesty," said Brookover, who said he gained knowledge, training, and experience as a deputy who served under four different sheriffs. "I will do the best I can," he said.
Eller said being Wetzel County's sheriff is "a dream I've always had." If elected, he would be following in his grandfather Yonsell's footsteps. A lifelong resident of Wetzel County, Eller is a 1986 graduate of MHS. "I want to conduct meetings throughout the county," said Eller of his main objective if elected. "I want to set up an anonymous hotline," he added. "We've got to fight the drugs. If we get rid of some of the drugs, some of the other crimes will be taken care of."
Montgomery, 46, is a 1984 MHS graduate and a union member in the construction industry for 28 years. He has worked with negotiating contracts, writing contracts, and writing grants. Montgomery has been a certified safe gun instructor for 18 years and is a 30-year member of the National Rifle Association. He is currently working toward a degree in Criminal Justice at Colorado Technical University. If elected, Montgomery hopes to continue school programs, create a drug task force to stop influx of drugs, start a search and rescue team, and contract services with Hundred, Pine Grove, Paden City, and New Martinsville. He says doing the latter would allow for quicker response time, better protect and serve the citizens, and save the towns money. He would also like to create a broad notification system to let citizens know of crimes taking place, for their protection, and to meet with a drilling alliance to address safety and concerns.
Jarrell believes the sheriff is the person to stand between citizens and the federal government when the federal government is doing wrong. "I really want the sheriff to be there," he told the gathering. "As sheriff we have more responsibility and we can act more as a protector."
The only candidate for assessor to attend the event was Scott Lemley who currently serves as a county commissioner. "The assessor's office belongs to everybody in this room," said Lemley, stressing that the office's employees should be able to help the public look things up and fill out forms. One of his biggest goals, if elected to the position, is "making information accessible online." But he clarified, "In no way do I want to make the whole office automated." He also said he wanted to squelch a rumor that he plans to go in and clean out the office of its current employees. That is not the case. "I have no big agenda other than to serve the citizens of Wetzel County. I have no intentions whatsoever of leaving Wetzel County government," said the man who once might have had an eye on a statewide position. He believes the top requirement for the position is to have a person as assessor who has a backbone and is able to stand on his or her own two feet to fight for what is right.
Board of Education candidates Linda Tracy Kirk, Jim "Cork" Bowen, and Carolyn Lemasters Gatian attended the event.
Kirk said she her entire life has been spent in Wetzel County and her entire career was at Valley High School. At that institution she served 17-and-a-half years as a language arts teacher and 21 years as a guidance counselor. "We all know changes are necessary for growth," she said, but added they often they are not accompanied by sufficient training or funding. "I do try to do what's expected of me and I work hard," she said.
"I'm not really a politician," began Bowen. "I think what we all have in common is a desire to help the people of the county." He is a graduate of West Liberty State College (now University) and has worked a school teacher, coal miner, and taught safety in coal mines. He returned to Wetzel County when he retired in 2008. When he got involved with fighting the merger of Paden City High School and Magnolia high School is when he saw the importance of hometown schools. "I feel like we have four great single-A high schools in the county," said Bowen who added that he sees his job on the board as finding out how to best keep them running well and as efficiently as they can. Finally, he added that he thinks the drug free club at MHS should be expanded to the rest of the county.
Gatian said, "I have no agenda for the county. I just want to promise you that I will look at each institution and see what needs to be done." She noted that with technology and other advances, there are many opportunities to get information to students. She would like to see "less time on the road, more time in the classroom." Gatian said, "Learning is ours to define. We need to make sure we're giving them useful information to use here." Finally she promised to listen, acknowledge, research, and learn.
Magistrate Judith Goontz told those in attendance that she has been a magistrate for 32 years and thanked everyone for their support over the years. She also spoke for fellow Magistrate Tom Shepherd who was unable to attend as he was attending to his wife who was injured in a car accident just a few days earlier. Both incumbents are unopposed.
Also unopposed is Prosecuting Attorney Timothy Haught who attended the event. He said that while he has devoted full time to his job since elected in 2000, the job has been a part-time arrangement. However, that will change on July 1 when he will be full-time and forced to close his private practice. "I have mixed feelings about that, but I just can't go on as part-time status. I have prosecuted and sent more people to prison on drug offenses than any other prosecutor in the history of Wetzel County. We do have a drug problem. I work with the DEA and federal prosecutor."
Haught noted he talks with officials in Allegheny County, Pa., probably weekly in the fight against drugs coming from there to Wetzel County. "What I want is your help and support," asked Haught. He says the two biggest problems are prescription pills (from pill mills) and heroin (from Pittsburgh, Pa., and Columbus, Ohio).
Delegate Dave Pethtel, seeking reelection to represent the fifth district, thanked the Farm Bureau for their endorsement. He told those in attendance that he believes in being fiscally responsible and trying to promote past policies that will help with job growth. During his time in office the state has reduced taxes and will eliminate the food tax by Jan. 1, 2013. Also, the state has reformed the workers compensation system, taken actions to help lower automobile insurance rates, and dealt with OEPB (Other Post-Employment Benefits), reducing the $10 billion unfunded liability to $5 billion. "I do believe that we have been fiscally responsible," stated Pethtel. "Fiscally we are one of the soundest states in the country."
Finally Secretary of State candidate Brian Savilla attended the forum. A social studies teacher and currently a first-term delegate from Putnam County, Savilla said redistricting has put him "out of a job" in the House of Delegates. He believes in integrity, honesty, and upholding the voting process. "Right now the voting process is not being held up," he asserted, noting that Lincoln and Boone counties have more registered voters than residents and almost every state position has candidates on the ballot who are not legally allowed to run. Savilla said that is the Secretary of State's job to take care of, but she wants it to be done by federal government or supreme court. "We would have a $95,000 glorified secretary of state," he said. Finally, Savilla said he wants voter identification put into effect because a signature is not enough to identify a voter.
Amy Nickerson represented Darrell McGraw at the forum, allowing people to talk with her and ask questions.
Along with the candidate activities, the Women's Leadership Committee provided refreshments for the evening. "Marilyn Thomas, Nell Yeager, and Carol Gorby did an excellent job in the kitchen and preparing the food. All the funds donated from the food go to the Morgantown Ronald McDonald House for supplies. We recently participated in Food Check Out Day with the West Virginia Farm Bureau and were able to take a truckload of much needed supplies to the house. Our funds are made possible from donations from the community, events like Candidates Night and our annual Fall Auction," said Yeager.
The event was kicked off with Air Evac representative Greg Jadwin speaking on the Air Evac service and to invite those attending to join the service. He gave the group details on the aircraft and crews covering the Wetzel County area. "It was a real honor to have Greg Jadwin and Air Evac with us this evening, we were able to offer our members a $10 discount if they sign up for the annual service," said Yeager. "This is a much needed service in our area and has been so beneficial in its short service to the county."
The Quilt of Life was also on display for the evening's event. Money from ticket sales on the quilt is used for cancer victims in the county.
The WCFB is very proud of the activities they provide for the citizens of Wetzel County and the work they do in the community and surrounding areas.
"Our safety committee will be holding two Progressive Ag Safety Days this year: May 4th at Short Line School and May 11th at Long Drain School. We will also be sponsoring the speaker for the Region 4 Women's Leadership Committee Conference on May 5th, doing a safety station at Sistersville General Hospital Safety Day, providing the overseeing coordinator for the Tyler County Farm Bureau Safety Day on May 18, as well as the Farm Safety training provided for the WVDA pesticide applicant holders retraining courses and Marshall County Co-Op Annual Meeting," Yeager added. "Robyn Yeager has been traveling across the state doing equine safety programs for youth groups this spring too, so our county committee covers a lot of territory."

Here is our preview of all of the Round 6 action. ROUND 6Friday March 10Fremantle v Carlton TipsSubiaco Oval (6.05pm)Carlton face the big trek to Western Australia and will be bidding for a win to keep alive their hopes of a Grand Final berth. The Blues sit a game and percentage behind 2nd placed Adelaide and head in as favourite's against the winless Dockers. Darcy Vescio and Emma Kearney should provide the visitors with enough firepower to notch up an important win against a Dockers outfit that haven't had much go their way this season. Dana Hooker and Lara Filocamo loom as key players for the home side in their quest to register an overdue victory. Saturday March 11Brisbane v Western Bulldogs TipsSouth Pine Sports Complex (11.05am)The competition's only unbeaten side, Brisbane, can guarantee themselves a Grand Final spot by knocking over the Western Bulldogs on Saturday. The Craig Starcevich-coached side kept their perfect record intact with a nail biting win against fellow contenders, Adelaide, last weekend. They enter in as favourite's to extend their unbeaten streak to six games. The Western Bulldogs left their run a fraction too late last weekend against Carlton, missing out by a goal. However, with Ellie Blackburn and Emma Kearney in good form, the Doggies are capable of causing an upset and the Lions will need to make sure they don't let their guard down.

Adelaide will move into the box seat with a win but the Crows will need to make sure they maintain their composure when under pressure, something they were unable to do at key moments in their three point loss to the Lions last weekend. Ebony Marinoff continues to star for the Crows, while for Melbourne, Daisy Pearce is having an outstanding season. The Demons missed out in soaking conditions to G.W.S and if they drop this one they will be playing for pride next weekend. Sunday March 12Collingwood v GWS Giants TipsOlympic Park Oval (11.05am)Collingwood came away with a thrilling one-point victory over Fremantle in Round 5 but will need a miracle to sneak into the Grand Final in a fortnight. The Magpies remain a mathematical chance of making the big dance but will need other results to go their way. The Giants should be full of confidence after finally breaking through for a win last weekend. Jess Dal Pos and Emma Swanson will be looking to continue their solid form from last week, while the Magpies will need big performances from Nicola Stevens and Emma King, who has been dominant in the ruck.

The New World of Sharing Moments and Interacting in Real Time
Never have I been a very wordy writer. Usually I take a lot of photos when
going to a tech conference, traveling, or visiting a new restaurant. It's easy
to share moments quickly by using the camera I have on me. When I immediately share, I
give the reader a real time look into where an am and what I am doing. It also gives
you, the read, an opportunity to interact with me in real time. You might say to go
up the street to a nearby bar. That's exciting. Back in 2004/2005, when shooting video, I
never was able to share like this. I imagined a future where people with cameras were
going to be able to share, but didn't know how long it was going to take. Now, in order
to capture moments and share them, all you need is a connected device. The iPhone will
let you share from anywhere. When I was in Paris, I turned on airplane mode, to save. But
you can still use WiFi to share. I was always on the lookout for places to have some
down time, and let the photos upload over WiFi. Many cafés got my business that way.
Never was there a time when I could not find a free WiFi location. When I found myself
going from one place to another, I could still take Instagrams, letting the upload fail
to upload, then when I got to my next WiFi, spot, I just retried, and the phone would
run through my photos and send them along. That also gave me the opportunity to look
around and enjoy a respite from traveling. I could also see comments, suggestions,
and activity on my photos and posts. I would look at my fellow travelers like they were in a
desert, cut off from civilization, while taking photos that they were going to share later,
you might never see them. I always wondered what fellow photographers did with their photos,
never share them. I'll never know. There's a new app on iOS called YouTube Capture. It's
going make capturing and assembling video easy for many more people. What it allows you
to do it, take multiple clips, and then trim off the ends, and assemble them together to
make a movie. After assembling a multi-clip movie, you can add music if you want, and then
you share directly to YouTube. It's very straight forward and easy. Professional videographers
cry about the poor quality produced by devices like smartphones, but when you look at it, it
never ceases to amaze me how great the resultant movies look. They are HD quality. The videos are
going to be shown on TV, online and in movie theaters. What's most important is the story meant
to be shared. If the sound is good, and there's a story, that evokes an emotion, many will
say they were entertained and not notice anything about the video quality. It's time to say
goodbye to the naysayers. Things are only going to get better. I'm exited to try new devices that
never stop coming out. I enjoy showing how to use these devices to their fullest. I'm also
going to try to tell stories that are fun and creative. When I share, I try to pick a place
to share my content, that will give it an audience. I'm getting a lot of interactions, where I
tell a story and people comment, over on Facebook. I also like Twitter, and Instagram. Even
a 'like' shows me that someone was there and cared enough to let me know that they visited. I can't
lie, I like likes. Part of the new landscape of social media sharing is the feedback loop
and it could be the most important. So I'll keep sharing and hope you keep interacting. It can't
hurt to share, and respond. It beings us closer together. The ambient intimacy that we share, make
you connected to me.

China accelerated overall steel scrap use during the front half of 2014 amid massive curbing of imports, which were off by 49% according to the Bureau of International Recycling. The latest World Steel Association report further indicates that Chinese crude steel consumption rose 9.4% year over year to just over 47.5M tonnes. Such data points are a clear indication of how aggressive the Chinese State Council policy has truly been when it comes to bolstering their domestic scrap market and reducing the steel industry's reliance on foreign imports.
Key Chinese export markets looks healthy if somewhat beleaguered, despite the only 2% global market growth forecast for 2014-2015 by WSA earlier this month (3.8% seen in 2013), with EU-28 steel scrap usage up 3.4% year over year to around 47.7M tonnes, while China's neighbors, South Korea and Japan, also are seeing steady consumption growth at around 2.1% and 5% respectively. Anticipated 4% year over year steel use in the EU-28 this year is set to tack on another 2.9% in 2015 and NAFTA demand is also looking like it will rebound sharply, with the expected 6.4% year over year growth for 2014 set to climb another 2.2% in 2015. Chinese real estate sector slowing has offset broader steel consumption noticeably within the country, making its movement felt across the gamut, from steel scrap to iron ore prices.
Smaller players in the regional iron ore market like Western Australia have been the hardest hit by sagging commodity prices, with notable examples like Fortescue Metals (ASX:FMG) leading Western Australian premier Colin Barnett to point the finger at BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP) and Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) recently, claiming that they are overwhelming the global market with an iron ore supply glut. Of course, a major aspect of the underlying metrics here has been Australia's primary export market, China, slowing overall steel use/importation. WSA estimates overall Chinese steel consumption growth will slow down even further next year, down from the 1% growth figure for this year, to around 0.8% in 2015.
For a well-connected Chinese steel scrap recycler like Armco Metals (NYSE MKT:AMCO), all of this is actually good news, given that the company enjoys relations with not only the government (thanks in large part to their exceptionally sustainable approach to the market), but with some of China's biggest state-run steel foundries. The company is also interwoven with over 100 SME-scale steel producers throughout the country and enjoys the logistical benefits of having a sophisticated distribution/sourcing network across China via its subsidiaries, which are all located in key steel producing areas.
The company's primary facility, Armco (Lianyungang) Renewable Metals, Inc., is just five miles from one of the country's major deep-sea ports at Lianyungang and AMCO also enjoys plenty of upside from their diverse global network of over ten raw material providers in ore-rich countries like the U.S., Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, India and Ukraine, among others. The company does more than steel scrap too and has their hands in iron, chrome, nickel and manganese ore, as well as a host of other scrap types, like aluminum, copper, and stainless steel, taking full advantage of their logistical footprint to put themselves in a position to become one of the leading providers in the country, especially when it comes to steel scrap.
China's neighbor to the south, Vietnam, imported nearly 4M tonnes of scrap steel in 2012, most of it directly from China and since then they have seen a small boom in electrical steel companies, leading to increased imports of around an additional 2.5M tonnes per year. The near export markets look good for AMCO and their domestic situation is favorable despite broader underlying market dynamics, with protective regulations by the Chinese government itself helping to secure the company's bottom line.
To top things off AMCO has also recently moved to diversify into much-needed wood pulp, with China growing from 15% of global paper demand a decade ago, to nearly 25% this year according to HSBC. Dynamics which are further characterized by technology offsetting paper consumption in the U.S. and EU. HSBC estimates 2.4% growth over the next five years globally in the paper market and as China has taken the top slot as the world's largest paper consumer (also the biggest producer of paper/paperboard), AMCO's deal last month to start importing Eucalyptus Nitens wood chips from a Chilean supplier, indicates some exceptionally well-timed diversification on the company's part.

In addition to Virgil Abloh, Nike has called on Kim Jones to design a collection ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
cheap nike shoes air max Using soccer to explore fashion's cerebral side, Jones has taken the sport's traditional garments and reworked them in new cuts. The capsule's short, jersey, and pre-match jacket draw inspiration from London punk style of the '70s and '80s.
cheap nike vapormax plus "That whole punk era was all about proportions that gave power to the wearer," says Jones. "I was inspired by the idea of DIY of the time — cutting up and putting things back together — to create something new."
Alongside the apparel, Jones has also worked on a hybrid of his favorite sneakers.
cheap air max 270 "I was looking at the silhouette of the Mercurial along with my three favorite Nike shoes: the Footscape, the Vandal, and the Air Max 97," he notes. "Combining these into one shoe is an homage to punk, but with a super-slick end product."
You can look forward to Kim Jones' Nike "Football Reimagined" capsule launching June 7 at select global retailers, as well as online.
cheap nike air max ultra Lavender, a dynamic blending of gender-linked light blue and light pink, is one of the oldest symbolic references in LGBTQ culture. The shade appears in the four colorways of this year's shoe cohort, the cornerstone products of the collection: the Nike Vapormax Plus, the Nike Air Max 270, the Nike Zoom Fly and the Nike Epic React Flyknit. The color's historical connotations preceded the rainbow symbol's widespread popularity in the 1970s, appearing on garments as a kind of quiet language among the community. Hints of lavender are detailed across all four of the silhouettes. In three of the shoes, the importance of purple carries through in the inclusion of a unique "pulse" shade.
cheap 270 nike air max Lavender is complemented by other colors in the traditional rainbow scheme of the Vapormax Plus and the Air Max 270. The airbags are individually dyed in the six-color spectrum. For the Air Max 270, the spectrum spans the entire heel for a surge of color. Even the Zoom Fly SP, a lifestyle take on a racing shoe, carries a muted rainbow colorway through the shoe's translucent upper.
cheap black air max Also highlighted in the collection is the pink triangle, a shape that has a complex past in LGBTQ culture. Originally used to identify LGBTQ individuals during WWII, the triangle was reclaimed in the 1970s by pro-gay activists and was later adopted by the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) in their memorable 1980s-era "Silence=Death" campaign.

My wife orders these for me, I wouldnt have picked them myself but now that I have them they are the best! I love the colors and fit and they are so comfortable! Great shoes
These shoes look great and are comfortable. I wouldn't work out or run in them, but for casual wear, they've earned lots of compliments.
The sneaker is very sharp looking and goes with most clothes. It is also really comfy. I use them as my going out sneakers. I do not use them to work out in.
cheap nike air max 97 premium i like these shoes. I usually wear them for style or fashion. But, If I run in them, i feel like i am running in my socks (Good by the way) and they are good style shoes (Good Colorways by the way)
These classics are too sick…chicken soup won't even help. Of all the Nike classics, the 90s, are the ones sitting on the pedestal.
The air max 90 is the perfect blend of style and comfort, however, I would run on them. They are a style sneaker, not a performance one.
Comfort, durability, and stylish! I have bought this pair of shoes multiple times and still feels like the first time.
These are perfect for running and style. Ill wear them when i train, but also wear them for fashion. They are very comfortable.
Shoes are comfortable. Do not recommend to run. Look nice for everyday shoes. Most likely to buy another pair in different color.
cheap air max plus I always roll with Nike because they make a nice reliable shoe. In this case, it was on sale and in clearance and I couldnt pass up. Got a good deal with this transaction so Im happy with my purchase.
These shoes are very comfortable and stylish. I have a wide foot and was worried the shoe would be too narrow but they are just right. Love these shoes.
cheap nike air max 97 ultra 17 I loved this colorway (to match my Dallas Cowboys Jersey) and i got compliments all around and I just wish it wasn't suede. But I still love them. Great traction and secure fit, great style
cheap nike airmax 270 Airmax 90 is a comfortable pair of shoes. I work in a warehouse where I am on my feet for 12 hours a day. And at the end of the day my feet arent hurting…Thats a shoe I will keep investing in.
I bought these for my husband and he loves them. According to him, they are beyond comfortable. They are true to size and feel pretty durable.
cheap nike air max 270 for sale Would not recommend this shoe for training purposes. It is a stylish shoe, but it is heavier than most training shoes (I prefer the nike free's). Besides that, I love them and am looking into buying another pair.
Great fit & awesome comfort. Whether its just walking around NYC or jogging, these sneakers are just what I need. A major plus is they look good too. Love Air Max!
cheap nike air max 97 ultra very comfortable shoe fits jam up prefect cross traning shoe also great style shoe would recomend this shoe air max 90, to anyone cant wait until these ware out to get another pair.
Air Max 90 remain the most comfortable shoe I have worn. They are versatile for either running, walking or just having a cool pair of shoes to wear.
cheap air max 97 When the sneakers came they were a different color than what they looked like online and they are tight on the sides. I love air max nikes but these were kind of ugly, good shoe tho
I love my Air Max 90s. They arrived in a timely manner. I would recommend anyone and everyone to purchase Air Max 90. They also very comfortable.
cheap nike 95 air max Super fast shipping and very comfortable shoes. Item received is better than the picture posted. Bought as a gift and absolutely worth it. I just wish its price would go down. I was hoping it will be cheaper here than outside vendors.
cheap nike air max plus Got my shoe fast. The shoes were awesome, no damage… Shoe fits perfectly. It was also packed nicely and was double boxed… Air max 90 and air force ones are the best. Will definetly order another pair from nike.com.. CU service is also very helpful. Thanks, nike! Nike is the best!
cheap white air max Love me some Air Max 90's, I can wear this shoe with some T shirt and jeans or a button up and khakis and be good to go. The only thing is after not even a week of wear I am already seeing creases on the sides :(. With that said I still love wearing these, few other shoes are as comfortable as these.
cheap air max 90 Super impressed with this shoe, love the style and have been wanting to buy a pair and I finally did. Very impressed with the comfort too. Overall great shoe and I recommend the 90s to many of my friends
cheap nike air max 270 triple black The shoe looks and fits great. Was so easy to order on my phone. Customer service was awesome. An agent actually answered the phone without my having to go thru any prompts which is extremely rare these days. I've been a Nike customer for over 20 years and love the look and especially the durability of all the Nike shoes I've ever owned.
cheap nike air max 97 undefeated I have 4 pairs of Air Max 90s and for some reason, the left shoe rubs against the top of my foot on the left side. I'm hoping once they break in a bit this goes away and is as comfortable as the other 3 pairs
cheap nike air max mens Love these shoes I went on vacation to Mexico so I knew I was going to be walking and standing around a lot and these were the perfect shoes!! Fit great and they are really comfortable plus they are very stylish always a plus!!
I walk a lot during the day and air max sole reduces the stress on my feet. They are not the lightest shoes, but definitely the most comfortable.
These shoes are very comfortable and very stylish. I own 5 pairs already. I'm looking at some other colors already TO FINISH MY COLLECTION.
cheap air max 2017 I love the air max 90, I have a lot of older models and they lasted me many years and I would continue to purchase the new ones to if there are colorways that I like. Great shoes you cant go wrong!
cheap nike air max 270 dusty cactus I ordered this shoe for sentimental reasons, it reminded me, with the Green/white/blue combination, my first Nikes ever!!!: The venerable, casual leather shoes with airliner technology. So much for history. It has proven unpractical to use this shoes as casual attire. My feet become quickly agravated by the rigidness of these shoes. I wouldn't advise you to use them for strolling around, Cushioning reminds me also of the Air Max Triax, as a matter of fact, I've used them for jogging. Yet, it is difficult for me to practice the best running technique while struggling to balance myself out of the rigid footing these shoes provide. Then again, I might have chosen simply the wrong kind of shoes for my common activities. Be assured I do not practice Football, and these shoes might be just the thing for that.
cheap nike air max 97 This shoe online looks white black and gray, however, there is really no white in this shoe. Everywhere you see as white which is the primary color of the shoe it is actually cement gray. The shoe is still not bad overall, but I thought I was buying a totally different shoe. This is the unfortunate part about shopping online and it's often not worth the trouble of returning. I will make the shoe work but felt it was kind of false advertisement as the shoe was nothing like the picture appeared.
cheap 2018 air max This shoe is an aggressive turf shoe that is designed to fit snug. It is still comfortable after several hours of wear. The green trim is a bit "rolly" and could have been a bit more streamlined. Some have removed the lace strap for quicker dress and it still looks good. I would have liked to have seen this in an all black and royal blue.
cheap nike air max womens I must admit, these shoes are very comfortable. I play women's full tackle football as a defensive lineman and since I'm always in a 3 point stance my feet were very comfortable and my toes had plenty of room. Not to mention I looked great because they're my team colors.
cheap nike 270 I have had top quality sneakers in the past ranging from Adidas, New Balance, Reebok, Emrik, Asics Gel, and I must say that these are up there with the best, even my favorite KSWISS, so I will certainly, be purchasing again at a later date. They say that Americans are the best at everything, judging by this product I most certainly do agree. ALAN TOSH DIAMOND
cheap nike air max 90 I love the way the shoe looks and just like any Nike trainer, once you break the shoe in its like you're walking on air. I did see a few creases but its nothing major. I just ask for better quality leather from Nike when making a product. You can basically rock this shoe with any general outfit: whether you want to causal or sporty.
cheap air max 270 Air max speed turf is really comfortable, not too heavy either. I could see myself walking in these all day. Good cushioning like most air max shoes. The color scheme is great! They don't feel cheap at all, just be sure to pick up some shoe cleaner because they are all white around the bottom.
cheap nike air max ivo They were reasonablely priced and they had 4 different color schemes. I received them in 4 days and they made sure that i had to sign for them instead of leaving them at the door. Foot Locker is definitely the best place to get your sneakers. They always get the new arrivals and i have yet to be dissapointed with any of my online purchases. I would recommend them to anyone and i'm a picky and choosy person that's real funny about who and where i order froom.lol.
cheap nike air max 270 flyknit A must have pair of shoes! If you ain't got a pair go get a pair. For me, I have to break them in(hurt my feet at first). Not recommended for fat feet ppl, 2 narrow. Seem to run a little small so get a half or a size up. But other than that, too many nice color ways on a terrific style of a shoe. They dont really crease up. Nikes' Best under Foamposites.
cheap nike 270 …but certainly not the best. I can't stress enough on how narrow this shoe is. I bought a half size larger because 1) they where only offered in whole sizes and 2) I had to have them (can you blame me, you're looking at them right now). Well, I don't have to lace them up and I flat out cant use the arch strap at all. Now, that's not to say they are a very supportive and very confortable shoes…just really snug. I will give them the opportunity to break in a little bit and I'm confident try will be just fine.
cheap nike air max 270 womens The material is well made, it stretches so it fits snug around the back and middle of your feet to the point that you don't really need to tighten any laces. The toe area is a slightly looser allowing your toes room to move. They do hug your feet quite tightly, but it is in no way uncormfortable. The material feels good around the feet, so don't really need socks.
cheap womens air max The shoes came out of the box dirty around the toe area. As soon as you start walking in them, expect to have them get even dirtier. The mesh material used in the front of the shoe is very comfortable, but impossible to keep clean no matter what you do.
cheap nike air max plus pink I purchased the Racer Blue/Total Crimson and the colors are nicer than what you see in the picture online. They are very light and comfortable. Nike didn't go wrong with this shoe. A must have in your shoe collection.
cheap air max 95 I was looking forward to wearing theses nike trainers but when they arrived I was shocked at how cheap and tacky they were nike have lost the plot especially at the price they were, there definelty not worth buying
Purchased in the Wolf Grey/Black Bright color and it's even better in person – colors are great, sleak design fits TTS.
I just bought this for my son. The trainers are really good quality and very comfortable. My son finds them really quick to put on as well.
Very comfortable, light weight, fits true to size, and very stylish!
Bought these trainers the other day and I love them very comfortable and stylish
Bought a month ago very comfy and smart would recommen
Stylish. Totally comfortable. Appealing.
cheap nike shoes I only own two pairs of these and I feel like theyre perfect for any occasion from running to work to a night out or just hanging out. The shoe itself is nice to the touch and simple but stlyish. Cant beat the price. Love the two different sets of laces to switch it up and that legendary AirMax bubble. Cant go wrong with these shoes for any person any age man woman or child. The comfiest out of all the airmax. It just feels like mikes are made for my feet.
cheap red air max These are my first Air Max 1s, but nowhere near my first Nike's. I finally came around and I'm glad I did. Looks just like advertised. The suede is GREAT, and the material on the tongue surprised me in a good way. I feel like I got my money's worth. Although, I felt slight irritation on my left ankle on the outer side, which isn't new for me and low top shoes. The shoe is fine, so it's probably my foot. Overall, it's a great buy and was worth the wait. Ordered: SundayDelivered: Thursday
Good fit, Look great! gonna order another pair in red soon. Kinda of reminded me of the Independence Day collection. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful colors. Very true to picture. Super comfortable.
Great color scheme and material used on this air max 1
I loved these shoes. They are so comfortable i have decided to get another one in a different color. I highly recommend this product
Didnt looked like what I expected. But they feel good overall. I returned mine. Just wasnt digging the colors
Love this color scheme so much i bought 2 pairs. Everyone should have Air Max 90 in their arsenal! Classics.
Shoes are great for running, walking or even for casual wear. It is also comfortable and fits true to size.
I was very amazed when I receive this package, I thought it wasnt gonna be that good but it was excellent and it fits perfectly well
i really like this pair of shoes not only because the nice design with classic white black and grey color but also for the comfortable.
The shoes are very comfortable for those who have wide feet. The quality is good. Great for being on feet for long hours.
Best shoes ever, fit true size. Nice feel right out of the box. A very stylish sneaker.
Great fitting shoes.Very nice shoes (I own a few pairs of these styles)
Great shoe would recommend to anyone looking for a long lasting pair of shoes. Got my roommates to buy some and they love them too.
I have been looking for these Air Max for a longtime.. i actually remember to get these pay back in the day… Hint i graduated hs back in 94, so these bring back memories…
Although it feels a little tight & narrow (hopefully it will break in nicely) i love the overall look of this shoe.
A classic white Nike. I get looks and compliments and hope to keep these nice for a long time. They shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition.
I love airmax sneakers no complaints. Not really much of work out buff but these sneakers make me feel like I do. Thanks, Nike!
I'm in love with all Air Max 90s. I own them in 4 different colors now and intend on getting at least 3 more. I definitely recommend the shoe
Air Max 90 is a classic shoe. This color way is so simple and clean but it really pops with the subtle red hits.
I was really impressed by this shoe. The comfort level is really good and it is not to narrow on my foot. Overall a really great shoe.
They look great with everything. I rock them at work and on the weekends. They're mad comfortable and last forever.
They are so comfortable and they look great with jeans good for everyday wear and the color combos are awesome. I recommend them.
The product had cracking soles, stain on the upper, stain on the sole.
Shoes are very shock absorbent and comfy when walking around in, not so much when standing around in but love the look of the shoes…always wanted them and now I have them!!!
Cant go wrong with Air Max 90, perfect shoe for all purpose. I wouldn't use for running though, they are a bit heavy.
I bought this for my husband who always always wears a nike air max. He loves it and the color can be matched with any clothing he has so it was a perfect buy!!
cheap nike vapor air max plus nuetral rating all catagories i havent used shoe yet. i dont intend on using this shoe for fitness rather fashion most air max are really heavy and uncomfortable to work out in but they look sick… hopefully 2013 air max will do better they look lighter and more flexible
It is a good shoe but somebody asked me about the leather. Is it made from pigskin or cow skin? I don't have any idea about it. Can somebody tell me?
I personally really like the shoes. The shoes are very comfortable to wear. I would recommend this shoes for everyone.
I bought these as a gift to my father and he loved them. So I give them a thumbs up, and you can never beat a classic look.
These sneakers are great for just running around doing errands and being able to stay comfortable. A must buy!
they fit great the design is one of the best! Their very comfortable. Easy to clean. They are all together a great show. My boyfriend and I always rock nike!
Very comfortable shoe fits nice and tight without tightening the shoe laces. Quality and stitching are superb. Will definitely buy more and spread the word !!
The shoes are great. They are very comfortable. Break in time is minimal and they fit my wide feet perfectly. Super under rated shoe in my opinion.
Very comfortable you can chill with shorts or jeans and sturdy enough to train in. Goog supports a little narrow until you break in…look good with casual wear…recommended.
Very happy with my purchase, one of the most comfortable sneakers ever owned. Will be buying another pair of air max's next year.
Great shoe, wanted something to look like the stylish gray new balances but i love nikes and they were perfect at great pricea little fat but just gotta lace them right
cheap nike air max infuriate mid A classic shoe that you really cant goes wrong with. It has a great silhouette and a colorway(s) to fit everyone. I get compliments on them all the time. Drop the coin and get the shoes.
Well built shoe, but they seem a bit narrow for me. Maybe I have to break them in, but I want to keep them looking nice. Solid and good looking shoe.
These are the best shoes I ever had there very comfortable there very nice and the price ain't too bad. These are gonna be my next pair of shoes for the rest of my life 🙂
This shoe is great…I love Nike air max!! They are very stylish and comfortable and can be worn for different occasions. This one is real navy blue and light weight
I like the shoes, but the blue is nothing like the picture. Much brighter more electric blue than it appears.
You cant go wrong with a pair of am90s. Air max 90s are my favorite shoes. I own 13 pairs. They are classic, comfortable. Reliable
