The One Drum Festival delights listeners with percussion circles and performances capturing the rhythms of the Middle East, West Africa, Brazil, and Japan. This one-day, family-friendly event bottles a swirling storm of meter and movement including interactive workshops where drummers, singers, and dancers of all skills levels can share their creative influences. Todd Roach will lead budding bangers in Middle Eastern hand-drum techniques from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. before Stuart Paton demonstrates the taiko drum, a Japanese instrument played with two wooden sticks or two sausage links carved into wooden sticks. Other events on the schedule hypnotize crowds throughout the day, including a concert at 6 p.m. featuring workshop instructors and special guests and community drum circles. Visitors can bring their own drum or borrow one of the many instruments on hand to tap Jimmy Carter's memoirs in Morse code.
Rivers Northeast Adventures offers a deluge of summer activities along tranquil and feisty rivers in the picturesque Vermont countryside. The three-hour self-guided kayak trip lets riders glide along the currents of the Connecticut River or paddle around a nearby lake while gazing at the area's dense foliage and vast number of barges that carry sacks of rice. Adventurers are shuttled to and from their watery destinations and supplied with single or tandem kayaks, gear, and a quick intro to kayak navigation. Half-day whitewater-rafting trips on Sumners Falls or in the White River afford family-friendly or adrenaline-surging swells that entertain more effectively than watching a child tickle a horse. The Sumners Falls run sprints over Class III rapids and ends in a stomach-twisting drop, and the White River bounces between Class II rapids and stretches of flat water perfect for swimming. During the summer, bring along a friend or Mediterranean oarsman for a half-day float, captained by a seasoned, friendly guide.
Newport Golf Club's 18-hole course sprawls across 143 verdant acres of the Sugar River valley, guiding players along distinct front and back nines with sections of rolling pastureland and other areas carved out of a forest of mature pine, oak, and cherry trees. The course was founded in 1920 as a nine-hole course that took advantage of the site's natural hills and running streams, and remained that way for 70 years. In 1989 the course was extended to its present length, with a back nine that intercepts the Sugar River at various points among the pine trees, mirrored ponds, and indigenous tribes of golf ball hunter-gatherers.
Film buffs across six states stare wide-eyed at large cinema screens, losing themselves in first-run Hollywood movies and the smell of fresh, buttery kernels within Your Neighborhood Theatre's 17 locations. Though all theaters prioritize comfortable seating, old-fashioned friendly service, and high-stakes preshow trivia slideshows, each location encompasses its own distinct charm, be it through arthouse décor, 3-D screens, or Rhode Island's vintage 1950's drive-in setting.

Four drivers -- Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Ryan Newman -- enter the last race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the Championship Round, with 5,000 points each. They are the final four in the first year of NASCAR's new playoff format for the Sprint Cup Series.

Ukiah Daily Journal
Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman on Tuesday got approval from the Board of Supervisors to make his training coordinator and Office of Emergency Services coordinator jobs that can be handled by civilians rather than his sworn staff.
Allman said having those duties covered by a civilian is a common arrangement among surrounding county governments. He proposed to make the shift by eliminating one lieutenant position, funded at $70,000 annually, and adding two program coordinator positions that each pay $58,000 annually. The OES change, he estimated, will save the county about $12,000 annually.
"I think it's a good idea for the OES coordinator to be a civilian rather than sworn personnel," board chairman 5th District Supervisor Dan Hamburg said just before the board voted unanimously to approve the reclassifications.
Three years ago, OES duties shifted to Allman's staff from the county CEO's Office, and Sgt. Shannon Barney was assigned as coordinator. The Sheriff's Office didn't add personnel to absorb the duties, Allman said. Barney was promoted recently to lieutenant and assigned to Central Area (Ukiah area) command, leaving the position empty, according to Allman, and he now plans to eliminate that lieutenant position and hire a civilian for that job.
"The OES coordinator job is mostly about grant writing," Barney said, adding that candidates should have "some familiarity with emergency planning."
Barney said the position has a "long learning curve," so he will be working closely with any new hire.
The training coordinator job, currently occupied by Capt.
Allman said he would be advertising both positions on the county's website, www.co.mendocino.ca.gov, by the end of the week.

Gaza: The Gates of Wrath and Sorrow Swing Open Once Again |
Written by Chris Floyd |
Thursday, 15 November 2012 00:23 |
(UPDATE 4 BELOW) (UPDATE 3 BELOW) (UPDATE 2 BELOW) (UPDATE 1 BELOW) How about this child, then? Is he dead enough for you? The gates of wrath and sorrow open wide again in Gaza, clanging on their rusty, bloodstained hinges. A report, via Facebook, from Gaza: From Dr. Mona Al-Farra in Gaza City, an urgent message on Facebook: Dear Friends, Gaza is under extensive Israeli military attack ,in less than 2 hours , 14 military attacks against different targets in different parts of Gaza Strip , 6 were killed including 2 young girls age 4 and 7, 11 were injured, the hospitals are already lacking essential emergency medications, and citizens were called for blood donation, we do not have power , iam using UBS ,the first stage of this operation has been accomplished , we expect more escalation. your solidarity means a lot at this difficult times, pass the word, this aggression, should stop now. *** Since then Hamas has mostly adhered to an informal, if shaky, cease-fire and at times tried to enforce the smaller militant groups to stick to it. But in recent months, under pressure from some of the Gaza population for not avenging deadly Israeli airstrikes, it has claimed responsibility for participating in the firing of rockets. Last week, it also claimed credit for detonating a tunnel packed with explosives along the Israel-Gaza border while Israeli soldiers were working nearby. But elsewhere in the story, and everywhere in the media, the attack is clearly presented as righteous retaliation for unprovoked attacks: not as collective punishment on a captive people for themselves retaliating against airstrikes against them. For a very long time, the United States government has specialized in the pattern pursued by Israel. The vastly more powerful nation wishes to act on a certain policy -- almost always territorial expansion, for purposes of access to resources, or to force itself into new markets, or to pursue the evil notion that economic and ideological success depend on brutality and conquest -- but a specifically moral justification for its planned actions does not lie easily to hand. And so it goes, and on it goes: the curse of violence, hatred, estrangement, fear. Madness snaking in and out of the only place where the universe is: in the electrics of our brains. So many sharp and painful endings to the world and all that's in it. *** UPDATE 2: I was remiss in failing to give the name of the dead child in the picture above. His name is Omar Misharawi. He is the son of Jihad Misharawi -- a journalist for the BBC's Arabic news service. Misharawi's house was hit by the pinpoint, carefully targeted, hi-tech, only-kill-the-bad-guys missiles being hurled into the heavily packed residential areas of Gaza by the Israeli military. Below is a picture of what Omar looked like before he became "collateral damage." Strange; he looks almost like an actual, fully-fledged human being, doesn't he? Almost like one of us, like one of our children. Good thing he's just a "savage," right? One of them. For as our own Nobel Laureate has shown us, their lives have no value, no meaning. They're just so much "bug splat" on a screen. UPDATE 3: Another great triumph for Western values was also reported today (Thursday): the first confirmed death of a child due to the draconian sanctions imposed on Iran by the Peace Laureate -- who celebrated his electoral triumph last week by tightening even further his ongoing strangulation of Iran. The Guardian reports: A teenage Iranian boy suffering from haemophilia has died due to a shortage of medicine in the country. It is the first civilian death said to be directly linked to the impact that western economic sanctions are having on the Islamic republic. One down, 499,000 to go before Obama matches the good ole Big Dawg in the noble -- and Nobel -- pursuit of mass murder by sanctions. But no doubt he and his secretary of state -- the Big Dawg's own wife! -- will, like the Big Dawg's own secretary of state, believe the murders "are worth it." *** The most striking and significant quality of our national conversation "is one of overwhelming, oppressive and suffocating unreality. It is as if everyone knows, but will never acknowledge, that we may speak only in code, and that we may only utilize the safe, empty phrases that we have agreed are 'acceptable' ... Truth is the enemy; truth is to be destroyed." |

For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

A quarantine for the oriental fruit fly has begun in parts of Orange and Los Angeles counties after multiple adult flies and larvae were detected by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
The 130-square mile quarantine is in the Anaheim area of Orange County and the Artesia and Cerritos area of Los Angeles County.
It's an urban environment, but includes 78 acres of commercial bell pepper production on leased land at the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base, CDFA director of public affairs Steve Lyle said. The base is a California National Guard airfield and training facility.
The oriental fruit fly is known to target more than 230 fruit, vegetable and plant commodities.
The quarantine was announced Aug. 14. A treatment program has begun.
The zone includes portions of Buena Park, Cypress and Stanton.

Transportation in Barcelona
Yellow-and-black taxis ply Barcelona's streets and fares are reasonable. Hail them in the street if their green light is on, or wait at one of the many ranks. Tip around 5-10% if you wish.
Speedy and efficient, Barcelona's modern metro system is easy to navigate and is the quickest way to get about town.
The best way to explore the winding streets and narrow alleyways of the Gothic Quarter, El Raval and La Ribera in the Ciutat Vella is on foot. Take a stroll along the busy pedestrianised Las Ramblas to see the city's shoppers and entertainers out in force.
The main hub of the Greater Barcelona bus network is on the Plaça de Catalunya. The regular service runs from 5.30am-11pm, while night buses shuttle night owls home from 11pm-4am (after the metro shuts down). The special Shopping Line bus ferries shoppers between the main districts with extra room for bags. Visit the Tourist Office for a Barcelona Card that allows you to get on and off the bus as many times as you like during the day.
Rent your car
Barcelona is surrounded by fast ring-roads, with avenues running across the city and several one-way streets. The city is laid out on a grid system, except for the historical Gothic and Old Quarters. Parking costs around €2.70 per hour, but B:SM's car parks offer a week's secure parking for €42.95.
Transportation tips
Save on public transport by investing in a one-day travel card, available from metro stations and valid for all TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) bus and metro routes.

The theater bug bit Tyler McMahon at age 9 and he's spent his 17 years since then involved both on and off the stage.
McMahon, of Kankakee, is directing the Drama Group's "The Wiz," which will run May 3-5 in Chicago Heights.
"It's been my absolute all-time favorite musical for years," he said while on the way to show rehearsal.
"The movie is what I first was introduced to and I really liked it. As I got older, I got introduced to the stage version and loved that even more.
"That show has always been my No. 1. I'm thrilled that I get to do it and I get to put my own spin and touches on it.
"We're definitely updating a good portion of it. The feel and look of it is very modern with some fantasy things mixed in."
That look will include Lion having dreadlocks instead of a mane, Tin Man being more steampunk rather than wearing a fully metal costume, and Scarecrow featuring a lot of pieces sewn together.
"It will be a great show for kids to see," said McMahon, who directed "Noises Off" for the Drama Group in 2012 and has been acting with the troupe since 2009.
"It's going to be a great visual show. The costumes are going to look great. We have some fun special effects that are going to happen.
"There's definitely some surprises as far as some major elements to the story that are now played by people. It's not written that way in the script.
"You actually have a whole dance sequence of the tornado, and ours is played by a person."
"The Wiz" also will feature McMahon's dog Cooper as Toto for a portion of the production.
McMahon said the show being rarely produced might stem from people assuming the original Broadway production was written for an all-black cast.
"I have always been a person that has said you can do 'The Wiz' with any race, any people," he said.
"It was written around 1975; it's 2013. The story is about accepting who you are, learning who you are as a person and changing your life. That goes across all ages and races."
In addition to work with the Drama Group, McMahon has done shows in Frankfort and at Governors State University in University Park.
He recently was cast as an understudy in "Smokey Joe's Cafe" at the Royal George Theatre in Chicago.
"I go on for the first time later in May so I'm excited about that. It's a great show. I've done it twice before, once at the Drama Group, and they've reconceived the show," McMahon said.
He also is taking online classes for an associate degree with hopes to transfer to Illinois State University to earn a degree to teach high school drama.
"I would rather watch a well-scripted television show with real actors than a 16-year-old pregnant girl on MTV" he said, lamenting how reality TV stars are more famous than people who hone their acting craft.
Whether people are on stage, behind the curtain or in the audience, McMahon said it's important to support community theater shows such as "The Wiz."
"It's a wide range of ages and they are all working together, helping and inspiring each other," he said.
"Hopefully that is something that kind of oozes out, that they see and embrace that.
"Hopefully there are some good people who come see it and are inspired to come see the next show or do a show or come sew (costumes).
"What I love about doing theater is it's a huge collaborative effort, and the audience is a major part of that."

6 fingersModerator: BioTeam
4 posts • Page 1 of 1
6 fingersMe and my little brother were born with six fingers on each hand. When we were (just around some weeks after born) we had a surgery and it was removed. Yes, there is a tiny little bump on the finger sticking out. Both of our parents did not have six fingers and neither did our grandparents.
1) How is that even possible for us to have it? (Don't say we were "adopted" because I was there when my little brother was born and I saw his finger.) 2) Will our kids one day get this from us? 3) Can I just cut the little bump on the finger sticking out. It'd be a clean cut but it would HURT like hell. Maybe have the doctors remove it and feel no pain?
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyly
so 1) likely a mutation (or one of your parent was having a 6th finger and had it removed and for some reason chose not to tell or ignore it) 2) 50% chance of them having it 3) It would be stupid to do it by yourself, but if you are not satisfied by your first surgery, go see a doctor to see what could be done (plastic surgeon?)
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof. (Ashley Montague)
It's not necessarily a mutation - fingers develop in a fetus as a response to secreted chemicals, and that can be affected by certain allele combinations, but also by environmental interactions (womb chemistry, for instance).
Re: 6 fingersMy professor was just talking about Polydactyly (Dominant disorder) today and said that the many children that are born with an extra piece of skin that does not have a bone inside is NOT considered Polydactyly and thus is not an inherited, dominant mutation. Apparently, sometimes extra skin, with or without a nail, just forms on the hands and feet resembling a finger or toe and the doctors remove it at birth for cosmetic purposes. People who have Polydactyly have muscle and nerve function in the sixth digit as well as a bone. You will need to ask your parents if there was an X-ray performed to determine whether or not there was a bone in there and that will let you know if you carry the dominant gene. My professor is a Geneticist and I would believe her over anything read on Wikipedia. I just checked out the link and it has inaccurate information listed. But then again, my professor could make a mistake, but being her small lecture on Polydactyly centered upon distinguishing it from extra skin that may form, I tend to believe her.
You should never perform your own surgery because you can risk serious infection and uncontrolled bleeding, or worse. You have a lot of bacteria on your skin and no matter how well you think you clean it, it's never clean enough. The tools you use would also not be sterile and you also do not know how to perform surgery (that's why doctors go to school for many years so that they can learn properly). You could cut a vein or an artery and then you would be in big trouble...not to mention that doctors don't just cut off parts like that. There is a fine technique that utilizes lasers, sutures and sometimes even skin grafting, something you are incapable of performing in your own home. If the skin is bothersome and causing pain or getting in the way, you could see if your insurance will cover the removal. Otherwise, you would have to pay a plastic surgeon to remove it.

Aviator - Black w/Mic
Aviator: USA Today Skullcandy Aviator Headphone Review
September 13, 2012
If you insist on listening to music after (or during) a gnarly day on the slopes, these musical earmuffs might appeal to you. With a high maximum volume and decent tracking, these over-ear headphones can provide a bumpin' soundtrack while you think about how extreme you were out on the hill.
Clearly these headphones aren't for everyone, but for someone willing to shell out extra dough for non-vanilla studio headphones, these beasts beat the Monster Beats in construction and sound.
Great Headphones!
August 19th, 2014
by Jordan Horne
These headphones are great if you're on the move or relaxing on the couch. I've had a pair since 2010 and I've had no problems with the headphones themselves, however the Cord has given me issues and replacements aren't especially cheap (10+ dollars a cord). Overall these headphones are extremely comfy and the simple design let's them fit with any sort of outfit if you feel like wearing them outside. The design is compact and sturdy, with the two metal frames never breaking despite looking INCREDIBLY thin and fragile. Almost nothing wrong with these apart from the cord. 9/10 would recommend.
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product
My ears approves it

I got this cause my other skullcandy uprock headphone was bothering me a little as i wore glasses all the time.It had that pressure on the side which cause discomfort for me if i use it for long period of time.When i got the aviator,boy was i on cloud 9.its really comfortable and it fits nicely to my tiny ears.I didnt feel any discomfort for wearing 10 hours straight.Sound quality is great as it didnt had those buzzing sound of inferior headphones.I usually had the volume low but you will know whats going on around you.Thats fine for me.Though this is made for Apple stuff,i still use it for my other gadgets.i just need to control the volume from the gadget itself so no biggie.The detachable chord is a huge plus point too.Overall im just super glad to get Aviator,it did my ears justice.On a side note,do make the travel bag a little bigger so it would be easy to put it in or out of the bag.

Over All Good
May 4th, 2014
by James Schiele
I have had these just a short while. So far I haven't really listened to them much. I do like the way they fit when your wearing them and the sound is exceptional. I am no a base head so the base and treble were perfect. Great over all sound. The one feature that I really liked about the set doesn't work on my tablet or my phone. But I don't have any apple products. If I had know before purchase they were made for apple products I wouldn't have bought them. I really wish the mic feature would work with my devices. But other than that the sound is perfect and I have loved them to this point.

my experience of Aviators for 3.5 years
April 12th, 2014
by Jordan
After using the Aviators for 3.5 years, this is what i noticed. If you take care of them, then they will last. The built quality is low, but if you are careful with them then you should have no problem even though the bars that connect to the headband always concern me.That's where i broke my 1st pair of Aviators. These headphones are by far the most comfortable headphones ever. I've worn them on a bus more than 12 hours straight WITHOUT taking the headphones off. So cheers to Skullcandy for that. I love how they look, i feel classy when i wear them in public! WARNING! Since these headphones have a Mic3 on it's cable, it may not work well with your computer. I had low quality sound coming through my headphones from my computer because my computer wouldn't work with a Mic3 cable. So I bought a cable without a mic on it so i can use my headphones with my computer.The most important thing about headphones is sound quality. They sound fantastic ONLY if you're in a quiet environment because these headphones aren't sound proof, so the outside sounds wash out the bass. The treble is beautiful, mids aren't anything to worry about, and the bass is exceptional . For some songs the bass could be stronger, but it's there! By the way the drivers have been equalized on these headphones i would consider these "treble headphones", So these headphones are best friends with jazz, but not so much with hip-hop if your a BASS HEAD! (someone that loves a lot of bass). If you want the full quality experience, listen to them in a quiet room. If your in a loud environment, then you'll only hear treble and mids and of course the background sounds. If your in a quiet room, a person that sits next to you can hear your music at 40% so be careful with that. So over all im happy with these over all! I recommend these, especially to someone that listens to jazz and/or listens in quiet environment.

I got the aviators for Christmas of 2012, they were a great sounding headset that worked really well until they just stopped working. All of a sudden, I wasn't doing anything the sound just warped and then stopped. Overall a good set of headphones but NOT long lasting whatsoever.

One of the best products made by Skullcandy
March 8th, 2014
by Jesse Thompson
I've used Skullcandy headphones since early 2011, and by far, the Aviators are my favorite pair that I own. The earcups are a nice shape and the cushions are very soft. The headphones feel durable, and they look stylish. The lows, mids, and highs are all extremely clear and mix well with each other. Whereas many other headphones add emphasis on the bass, making the sound uneven, the Aviators keep things well balanced for genres like rock, jazz, and blues. As long as you aren't looking for head-rattling bass, these headphones will be great.

The Aviators
January 3rd, 2014
by Nick Dirschel
I got my pair of RocNation Aviators this Christmas, and when I took them out of the box and saw that the cups were see through, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a nice touch. Then I put them on and heard them for the first time and I was fairly impressed. They were lacking in bass, but they sounded great and very well balanced at the same time. (I'm wondering if they needed to be broken in or something, because a day over a week later there is a lot more bass than there was). I was disappointed that these didn't come with a detachable chord, my Hesh 2.0's have it and it's really nice to have. The design of these is super awesome, they look great. I love the triangle cups! Overall, the Aviators are a great pair of headphones, feel sturdy, look great, and I would say they sound great as well.

Solid, just don't move
July 2nd, 2013
by Evan E
The Aviators look good and sound nice as well. The case is convenient and good for travel. My biggest complaint is the resonating sound you receive when the cord rubs on your shoulder. The cord spits out directly down onto ones shoulder and any head, or neck movement causes unwanted sound disturbing your tunes. I have resulted to wrapping the cord around the headphone to eliminate the contact, which is now leading to early wear on the cord. Pretty frustrating for the price I paid. The reviews about the comfort are on point, after wearing them for a couple hours it is a relief to take them off. Also, Skullcandy could probably shave $20 off the price if they simplified packaging. The origami box is rather impressive, but it cant be cheap and nobody has a use for it after opening. I am still recommending these as they're top of the line sound quality, just stay still.

Why can't I buy replacement mic 3 cords???!
June 29th, 2013
by Disgruntled Jason
I love these headphones but my dog ate my cord and I cannot buy a replacement Mic 3 cord. They are back ordered and only offer the mic 1...... Which make great headphones sound like cheaper sets. . Why design a set of headphone with replaceable cords if there are none to order......
Great headphones!

by Frank O.
For the people that only know the sound of apple earbuds this is the headphone to buy! No overpowered bass, absolute clear vocals and great looks. The only thing that I don't like after some time listening to music your ears gonna hurt a bit because your ears touch the hard ends in the cup of the headphone. Anyways, I also doubted a pretty long time before buying them, it's a pretty big purchase for teenagers as it's a lot of money. But compared to other headphones they are a lot cheaper! Pretty sure their are better headphones but for this price range you get comfort and decent quality, so stop doubting and buy !!

Better Than Anything
April 3rd, 2013
by Marcus
I first used skullcandies when I just needed some bass, so I first bought the SkullCandy Supreme Sound Uprocks and they were okay but broke in 3 months, and then I saved up for the Hesh 2 and they kept echoing and didn't play right s we instantly sent those back, and then after that I bought the Aviators and it was easy to put the jack in, able to control my music from the jack, are super fashionable, and since I have 2 dogs, they always jump on me and since the jack is removable so I feel great because my dogs won't ruin anything and I won't have to worry about anything, and even saying this review with my Aviators on and it feels like I don't even know they are there.

I'm a convert
March 3rd, 2013
by Tony
I surprised myself by buying these after spending several hours at JB Hi-Fi listening to dozens of headphones for portable audio. I originally went to audition the B&W P5 portables, but the Aviators sounded so much better it was shocking. Skullcandy 'phones I've tried in the past have not impressed me and I'd relegated the brand to the "looks great but sounds lousy" basket, but these are a whole different deal. I've previously owned portable and full-size headphones by Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Shure, Sony, AKG and Audio-Technica, including some of their top range "audiophile" phones, but amazingly I've come to prefer the sound of these Skullcandy Aviators to many of those top-line products. I have a $4,000 Stax electrostatic headphone setup for listening at home, but the Aviators perform surprisingly well in comparison and even sound slightly similar. Nowhere near as fast or transparent, but just as easy to listen to for long periods. They are musical and relaxing but not lacking in dynamics, with good extension and natural sounding bass. The top end is very slightly rolled-off, but that also stops them from being tiring to listen to and you can compensate a good deal by careful adjustment of your portable player's EQ settings. The earcups are also amongst the most comfortable I've ever worn - you can wear these headphones for hours and hardly feel them. The only possible downsides are: * They are not noise-cancelling, but that's not an inherent problem, just a feature they don't include. The isolation is as good as any non-noise-cancelling closed design. * These are not headphones for bassheads - the sound is too natural - so if that's yopu look at the more expansive MIX model which are powerfully "present" in character * The quality of construction and styling is part of what you are paying for with these headphones, but even so the RRP of $249 is just a bit more than I would have liked. If they were priced under $200 I'd give them 5 stars for value, and if you can find them discounted to that price level - grab 'em!

Does not disappoint
January 18th, 2013
by Garrett
I got these headphones about a month ago, so far there have not been any problems. I used to own a pair of Hesh 2s, which I thought were good...but the heshes are laughable compared to the amazing quality these headphones provide. They make all kinds of music sound better, espically Reggae and Rock. I can hear sub bass with so much clarity, I can hear high hats precisely, and vocals are godly. The headphones are also extremely sleek looking. I've listened to them in public and have been stopped before by people asking where I got them. I mostly listen to dubstep, and I personally love them when it comes to dubstep. I hear songs in a completely different way, everything is near perfection. Skullcandy also has amazing warranty. My Hesh's broke, I sent them in, and had my new headphones shipped all in about 1 week (and they said it would take a month!)

Great sound, but high maintenance.
January 10th, 2013
by Thomas N.
I have had two pairs of Aviators. I love them when they work. Twice I have had problems with them, and twice I have needed to warranty them. Thankfully Skullcandy has an excellent, however slow, warranty process, and I had little trouble in that area. The first problem I had, the jack fell apart and after I put it back together sound only came out of one ear. This happened three days after they arrived in the mail. The second time, there was a wire issue at the jack, and it had to be held in a certain position for sound to play through both sides of the headphones. This happened a few months after the new pair arrived. If you don't mind paying for shipping to have them warrantied, or waiting weeks at a time for them to arrive, or are simply planning to keep them in a glass case at home then these headphones are right for you. The sound quality is quite good, with a balance in the lows, highs, and mids, they are oozing with style, and they are very comfortable to wear, but I don't think I would buy another pair. If there was free warranty claim shipping I would gladly recommend these headphones.

Skullcandy Aviator
December 30th, 2012
by Alex
Where do i start. I really didn't believe skullcandy was good. My friend bought a pair of uprocks that broke in a month. They sounded really good though. Christmas was coming up and i wanted a really good pair of headphones. So i was stuck between solos and aviators. The Beats looked simple but i didn't want just bass. The music i listen to doesnt need that much bass. Which the beats are really just bass heavy headphones. I was unsure so i took a dive and chose skullcandy. These are bigger than beats and not outrageously over priced. I would have gladly paid 200 for these they're great. I have only one complaint. Very minor though. There needs to be a little more bass if they had that they would be the best on the market. Other than that keep up the good work skullcandy.

Unexpectedly good
December 1st, 2012
by Andy
I bought these end of line as a bit of a punt as they seemed very comfortable. They were then also reduced in the curry's closing sale so I paid significantly less than half price for them. My expectation of a lifestyle brand was not high but I as struggle to wear headphones as I usually find them too uncomfortable I decided to give them a try. I have spent 20 years of my life designing Hi End HiFi so I am pretty fussy and expected these to be OK only for background use. Congratulations have to go to SkullCandy they are the first lifestyle brand who have made a headphone I feel I can recommend. Whilst a long way from perfect, these are a good pair of headphones even at retail price. The bass to treble balance is good and unlike allot of headphones they don't create a false bass warmth by emphasising the 80 - 150 Hz region. The treble and mid range are clear with only a hint of harshness as the volume is turned up. The bass is well extended and sounds in time i.e. the high frequency component of a drum beat is in sync with the low frequency. Sound isolation is not great so not ideal if you want to listen to them in a noisy environment. They also leak a little sound so not great if you want to listen loud in a quite office without upsetting your colleagues. Highly recommended if you want a stylish headphone that isn't a massive sound compromise.

Reliable, Consistently Surprising
November 11th, 2012
by Sean
I bought these when they first came out, and am even wearing them as I write this review. These have lasted me over 2 years, and are barely showing signs of wear and tear. Comfort- 10/10. I don't know what the ear-cups are made of, but it stays on my ears for hours on end, even 8-hour work days, and it barely feels there.My ears fit perfectly. The top of the headphones look slightly cheap, but they feel great. Durability- 9.5/10. I'm only seeing cosmetic issues now, after 2 years. I sleep with these on a lot, and they've fallen from my hands more times than I'd like to say. But the headphones aren't even scratched. There's a spot on my left earcup where the top layer is rubbed off, but the inside stuffing is staying in. Also, from the wire being wrapped around the headphones for storage, there are a few kinks in the cord. But these are merely cosmetic. Sound- 10/10. Perfect for an audiophile who doesn't want to pay more than $300. I notice background noises and instruments in songs I've had for a while, constantly. Can handle highs and mids, bass is not shake-your-head powerful, but it is deep and it complements songs. Hard-drop dubstep enthusiasts may want to buy something else.

Amazing Pair of Headphones!
October 19th, 2012
by Nick
If you are searching for a pair of headphones that have amazing sound quality, AND looking just down right sexy, the search stops here! These bad boys produce heaven like sound quality, hence Skullcandy's phrase, "Supreme Sound". These headphones live up to that high standard and beyond. Here are a few important points about these cans. First and most important, Sound. These headphones sound just awesome as stated before. The highs are crisp, but not tinny or too sharp. The mids are just right. And the bass is punchy. It does not distort or over power the rest of the sound like Beats by Dre do. 10/10 Comfort These headphones have an amazing feel when you put them on your head! The ear cups are cushioned very nicely! The band on the top is comfortable, you barely notice that its on top of your head! The only complaint that i have is that the ear cups press a little on my head. Thus creating a slight "Pressure" feeling. My right ear also gets sore after wearing them for a long period of time. I think thats just me though. 8/10 Noise isolation These headphones dont require batteries like some headphones do for noise isolation. I am not particularly impressed with the aviators noise isolation. Whenever my dog barks (tiny little creature with a high pitched yip!:P) i clearly hear it when volume is at 50%. I suppose to solve this problem you can simple turn the music up louder! 5/10 Style These headphones are downright sexy! I have the black with chrome edging. It looks quite awesome! Many people have complimented how sleek they look! And they pair very nicely with Aviator sunglasses! 10/10 Overall, I would highly recommend these to anybody! So stop reading this review and buy them! :D

The clinic will end July 25.
This 21-person medical hospital, which is stationed at Fort De Moines, Iowa, consists of physicians, nurse practitioners, PAs, dentists, opticians, surgical nurses, registered nurses, LPNs, combat medics, audiologists, and a wide variety of assets that hospitals normally utilize.
The clinic is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and provides Bolivar County citizens with general medical, optical and dental care all free of charge, with no appointments.
Although the clinic will be open until 5 p.m., they will be taking their last patient at 4 p.m. in order to complete treatment, paperwork and clean up.
"What we are offering the community today is nothing more than simple health screening to aid and assist the Department of Public Health with tracking and improving the health status of the citizens of Bolivar County," said Mission Commander Capt. Kent Ryan.
Vitals and a brief history of each patient will be taken and assessments will be made.
The clinic also has a limited supply of antibiotics that it can be provided to patients if there is a need.
Patients will be referred to the Delta Health Center or to Dr. Bill Lewis in Rosedale for further treatment if needed.
"We want to make the public aware that the Public Health Department is a resource that you don't need a job or medical coverage to use and get treated," said Ryan.
The dental services that the clinic offers includes screening, simple extractions, and simple fillings.
The vision care, which is run by a four-person crew from the U.S. Navy, gives prescriptions for corrective lenses and produces a free pair of glasses for the patient within 48 hours.
The crew produces simple reading or distant vision glasses in simple frames and will not make bifocals or tinted glasses.
Although the dental and vision sections of the clinic will not be fully operational until July 19, they are still able to do screenings.
The clinic is hoping to treat around 100 patients on a daily basis and will compile the medical data daily to give to the Department of Public Health so that the state has a better visual of what the health status is of the citizens of Mississippi.
Supplies are limited and the unit will not be resupplied, so citizens are encouraged to come as soon as possible to ensure they get the treatment they need.
This mission has been over a year in planning and has clinics set up in five Delta cities including Rosedale, Clarksdale, Marks, Tunica, and Helena, Ark.
As well as helping the community medically, the soldiers are also encouraged to eat their meals and fill up their vehicles in Rosedale to help give a slight boost the local economy, although they are staying in Greenville.
"What we get out of this is that we get to help out our countrymen," said Ryan. "It's good to take care of our own. Without any political agenda, without any hidden agenda, we're here to help people."
