I saw a rug identical to this at a certain high end home store, but when I went to order that rug I noticed that the reviews were terrible saying that the rug shed a lot. Having another rug from that company that is also a shedder I believed the reviews. I found this rug and decided to give it a try instead and I couldn't be happier. In person the rug is thick and soft and really lovely. Best part - no shedding! Overstock is really my go to place for rugs. I have another rug from Overstock that I bought 2 years ago and it's still beautiful!
If you want a rug that looks and feels like Pottery Barn for half the price than this is the rug for you! We love the look of Pottery Barn, but hate the price. This rug is extremely soft and well made. It does "shed", but it has decreased with the recommended vaccuming. I would recommend this rug to anyone!
The rug is awesome, so far. It does shed but it supposed to eventually stop after a few sweeps or vaccumming.
great value, looks alot like rug from high end store. It is soft and doesn't shed. It has less wool than high end store and still looks great. It hold its shape well and lays flat immediately out of container.
I am very satisfied with this rug. It seems to be well constructed and looks and feels very similar to that of another high end store selling this same type of rug but costs much more. The color pattern allows for versatility and blends well with similar color schemes. The rug has a nice soft feel. Rug pad is definitely needed.
This is a lovely simple rug, neutral color, very soft underfoot, very pliable. Although the details in the product description describe the rug as having a non-skid backing, it doesn't. (The top and underside are identical.) If you are placing the rug on a hardwood floor where there is no furniture anchoring it in place you will DEFINITELY need an anti-skid pad because it is so light that it will slid all over the place and could become a safety hazard. I've only had it on the floor for a couple of days and so far no shedding, but it's not in a high traffic area. Actually, I wouldn't recommend this rug for a high traffic area both because it is so light in color (sort of hay colored) it would show dirt quickly and the weave is quite loose so I suspect it would wear quickly or get stretched out of shape.
I love the look and feel of this rug!!! But it sheds a ton... Looks like piles of dog hair all over my hardwood floors. Only had it about a month so am hoping the shedding slows down!
This rug is absoutly beautiful! I love the natural look it gives my more modern living area. The texture of the rug feels nice under your feet, easy to vacuum and holds up to foot traffic...including a large dog. I always return to Overstock when I am shopping for any home decor items.
This is a beautiful rug that's a great deal for the quality and appearance. It looks just like other rugs available from more expensive stores.Color and texture is beautiful and it really brightened up our TV room.

On his first day in the car with his new team, Matt Kenseth missed a gear and over-revved the engine, forcing his crew to change it."Where did we find this clown?'' Kenseth imagined his Joe Gibbs Racing crew wondering after that incident during a December test at Charlotte Motor Speedway.Three months later, Kenseth celebrated with his crew after he won Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. His victory marked the second time in the first three races of the season that a new driver-crew chief combination has won. (Carl Edwards took Phoenix on March 3 in just his second race with Jimmy Fennig.) It's also the second consecutive year that new pairings have won so quickly. In 2012, Denny Hamlin (with crew chief Darian Grubb) and Tony Stewart (Steve Addington) had similar wins that helped them to later qualify for the Chase. Hamlin ended up tying the series-high of five victories. Edwards, who missed the Chase last year, surely hopes this trend continues. He's now fifth in the points. Kenseth is seventh. Finding the right driver-crew chief combination is critical to a team's success and a driver's ability to race for championships. If they don't mesh, information can't be gleaned and performance suffers. But even when a pairing seems like a good idea, there's no way of truly knowing until they start competing. Edwards trusted Fennig's judgment at Phoenix that his car would have enough fuel to make it to the end. On Sunday, Jason Ratcliff's decision not to change tires on the last pit stop allowed Kenseth to go from fourth to first on pit road. Kenseth led the final 41 laps, withstanding Kasey Kahne's challenge and earning his 25th career Cup victory. Sometimes it doesn't always work. Both Kenseth and Edwards, who finished fifth at Las Vegas, have had periods during their careers where their pairings with crew chiefs didn't meet expectations. As performance falters, the car owner has to decide if another change needs to be made, but no switch is guaranteed to be any better.Kenseth joked how he and Ratcliff went on "dates'' to get to know each other during the off-season and better understand how each operates. Edwards met with Fennig at the end of last season. Their discussion wandered from their families to racing philosophy. Then, as Edwards tells the story, they walked outside Fennig's office and looked at a car that Fennig was preparing."I started to look around at the race car that he was preparing for Matt Kenseth to go to Homestead, and I was like, 'Oh, hey, that's really neat, that's really neat,' and I started looking under the hood a little bit to poke around, and he said, 'Okay, okay, that's enough,''' Edwards said. "I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'We're still racing against you this weekend. This isn't your race car.' I was like, 'Seriously?' He said, 'Yeah, let's go look at something else.'"So he's really serious about making sure that his cars are the best that they can be, that everything on the car is the best it can be, and all the guys on the team are that way. It's been really interesting to see what each individual is working on on the race car.''Kenseth learned more about Ratcliff during Sunday's race. When a caution came out with 43 laps to go, Kenseth's only request wasn't a change to the car, but for Ratcliff to keep him near the front."Game on,'' Ratcliff said to himself, and he decided to take fuel only. Most other cars took at least two tires. Ratcliff knew that changing even two would have taken a second longer than was needed to give Kenseth enough fuel to make it to the end. That second he saved proved critical. Kenseth exited pit road first. "You know, you're hoping, dreaming, all that stuff, to work with somebody that doesn't only prepare race cars to win races, but you want to call races to win races and do pit stops to win races and adjust cars to win races and be aggressive,'' Kenseth said. "The last two weeks he's been really aggressive on both counts and felt like he got the cars good enough to go up there and win races if all the stars aligned.''Kenseth says he feels he's had a car capable of winning in each of the first three races. Winning early in the season not only helps with bonus points and a possible Chase spot, but in building momentum with a new group. It also relieves some of the pressure that Kenseth put on himself while moving from Roush Fenway Racing to Gibbs after last season."I'm not a huge goal person, but my goal was to win and to win early,'' Kenseth said. "I felt like I just -- nobody has put any pressure on me except for myself, but I also know that (Gibbs) hired me to come in there and climb in that car and win races, so you certainly want to do that and you don't want to disappoint people. I'm glad we got a win, but it's still only Week Three. "I feel like this is the beginning, you know, and have a lot of confidence, had a lot of confidence after our first meeting and decided to go do this and just had a great feeling about it.'' POWER RANKINGS 1. Jimmie Johnson -- Opened the season with Daytona 500 win, a runner-up finish at Phoenix, and a sixth at Las Vegas. That's an average finish of 3.0 per race. 2. Brad Keselowski -- He hasn't finished worse than fourth in the first three races. He admits it's nice, but he's hungry for a win. 3. Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- Finished seventh at Las Vegas, giving him three consecutive top-10s to open the season, the first time he's done that in his Cup career. 4. Carl Edwards -- Followed his Phoenix victory with a fifth-place finish at Las Vegas. 5. Matt Kenseth -- He's been fast, but he had everything come together for the first time in his win at Las Vegas. A team on the rise. 6. Denny Hamlin -- Couldn't recover from pit road speeding penalty and finished 15th in Las Vegas. But that's his worst finish of the season. 7. Kasey Kahne -- Showed how strong his car can be by bouncing back from two rough races to lead a race-high 114 laps and finish second at Las Vegas. 8. Kyle Busch -- Penalized for speeding on pit road like his teammate Hamlin, but it was early enough in the race for him to recover and finish fourth. 9. Mark Martin -- He's sixth in the points after three races. but he won't be there long. Running a partial schedule, he's skipping Bristol this weekend, as Brian Vickers drives the No. 55 there. 10. Tony Stewart -- Horrible start to the Las Vegas race where he was a lap down within the first 50, but the best drivers recovered and he managed an 11th-place finish after his day seemed like it was going to be much worse.

Trademarking your IP
Registering a trademark is an important step in creating and protecting your brand. Having a registered trademark means that:
- You have an exclusive legal right to use your trademark for your goods and services (online and offline)
- You can stop others from using your brand and trading off / damaging your reputation
- You have intellectual property, which is a valuable business asset, and can be sold or licensed
- You can use the ® symbol
- You have a "priority date" if you later want to register your trademark overseas
Trademarks are registered on a "per country" basis and typically apply to all regions of the particular country. Registered trademarks last for 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely thereafter.
If you're starting something new, or looking to protect something already established, this is your opportunity to create your most valuable business asset. TMarque, created by experienced IP lawyers, is one of Australia's leading trademark service providers with a simple, cost effective registration process specifically designed for small business.

What is OXYTROL? OXYTROL is the first and only transdermal system (skin patch) to treat overactive bladder (OAB). OXYTROL's transdermal delivery system delivers oxybutynin, a medication widely accepted and prescribed in oral formulations for almost 30 years, into your bloodstream. Since the drug is delivered into your bloodstream through your skin, it bypasses the initial metabolism process in the liver and the stomach as seen with oral therapies.
OXYTROL offers OAB patients continuous bladder control with a low incidence of drying side efffects, such as dry mouth and constipation.
OXYTROL is a thin, flexible and clear patch that should be applied to the abdomen, hip or buttock twice weekly and provides continuous and consistent delivery of oxybutynin over a three to four day interval. Each patch is sealed in its own protective pouch. When you are ready to put on the OXYTROL patch, tear open the pouch and remove the patch. Apply the patch to your skin right away. Do not keep or store the patch outside the sealed pouch. OXYTROL can be worn during normal activities, including bathing, swimming, showering, or exercising.
More than 33 million Americans suffer from OAB. OAB makes it hard to control when you urinate (pass water). OAB can make you urinate more often (increased frequency) or make you feel the need to urinate often (urgency). OAB can also lead to accidental urine loss (leaking or wetting oneself).
If you or someone you know has these symptoms of OAB, there is hope with an option called OXYTROL.
If you have any questions about OXYTROL, ask your doctor. Only your doctor can determine if OXYTROL is right for you.

Model of excellence in women's health
by Natalie Gutierrez What if that special woman in your life - your mother, grandmother, sister or friend - was sick? What if she needed a doctor, medication or a medical procedure to make her better?Today, women make up almost half of the U.S. labor force. About 40 percent of all households with children under 18 include mothers who are either the sole or primary source of income for the family. Single moms account for 8.6 million of those. And, grandmothers are more often becoming primary caregivers for the 1 in 10 children who live with a grandparent. At The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, researchers and physicians understand the profound impact women have on our lives and society. Thats why womens health care is a top priority. The following pages illustrate just a few examples of how Health Science Center researchers, such as Leslie Myatt, Ph.D. (pictured left), and clinicians, like Ildiko Agoston, M.D. (right), are collaborating and leading efforts to enhance the care and services provided to women of all ages and backgrounds in San Antonio and South Texas.

Okay, here's another little beer-related news story: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=610085 Why not just put that Miller Lite tap handle on the water faucet? Tastes great. Less filling.
He's right, Miller Lite is beer flavored water. Nice to see eye-to-eye on this subject.
"Sunday morning regulars..." Maybe I should move to Wisconsin...
I remember many weekends (lost weekends?) in Wisconsin drinking "Beer X" in a glass from a keg with "Beer Y" painted on the label of the glass. Always made me raise an eyebrow, so this doesn't surprise me a bit. Last year, my wife and I spent time in Door County, Wisconsin. One restaurant had one beer on the paddle, but another in the corresponding keg. The waitress told me of the error and offered me a bottled import as a substitute for the same price as the kegged beer. I don't know whether I was ever fooled, though. I did see THE WHO in concert in Wisconsin, too
What floors me about this is that it was the POLICE that issued the ticket. WTF is up with that. Not enough methlabs to bust that week? Isn't this kind of thing usually the jurisdiction of local liquor inspectors or bylaw enforcement?

Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
CALGARY, Alberta -- With four goals in back-to-back road wins, Daniel Winnik's first two games in an Anaheim Ducks uniform have been sensational.
Winnik's second goal Monday night 4:02 into the third period broke a tie as Anaheim went on to a 5-4 victory over the Calgary Flames, who have opened the season with consecutive home losses.
Signed as a free agent last summer, Winnik has found instant chemistry playing right wing on a line with Saku Koivu and Andrew Cogliano.
"We were put together that first Sunday at camp," Winnik said. "We've talked a lot and that helps, finding out each other's tendencies on certain plays."
The 27-year-old finds himself tied for the league lead with Chicago's Marian Hossa for most goals in the very young NHL season -- and just seven goals off his career high.
"He'll pull away," Winnik said of Hossa with a laugh.
The culprit on the go-ahead goal was Calgary center Alex Tanguay, who was 150 feet from where it was scored. His pass into the slot was picked off by Cogliano, who promptly turned and led a rush up ice that was eventually finished off by Winnik.
Ryan Getzlaf added his second goal of the night at 11:15 to make it 5-3, and, although the Flames got back to within one on Lee Stempniak's breakaway goal three minutes later, Calgary was unable to get it back to even -- as it did earlier in the night when the Flames battled back from an early 3-0 hole.
"It might have been exciting for the fans, but it certainly was an ugly game as far as coaches look at it," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "There was a tremendous amount of mistakes. You get a 3-0 lead, you've got to shut the door and not allow a team back in, but we did."
Koivu had the other goal for Anaheim, which is off until the Ducks host Vancouver in their home opener Friday.
Curtis Glencross, with two goals, and Tanguay also scored for Calgary.
"That's not the way that we wanted to start, that's for sure," Flames coach Bob Hartley said.
The Flames' first-year coach empathizes with the fans, who after the long lockout were excited about a schedule that saw Calgary play five of its first six games at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
"I've been in many great buildings and from the bench, to see all those red jerseys, that sea of red," Hartley said. "There's nothing more we wanted to do than give them a win and, obviously, we want wins for us, too, because we know 48 games will go quick and you can't leave any points on the table. We've played hard enough to win both games, but we didn't play well enough to win both games."
Fans were still making their way to the seats when Anaheim opened the scoring at 1:06 on a nifty deflection by Getzlaf of Toni Lydman's point shot.
Koivu flicked in Cogliano's centering pass at 7:23 to make it 2-0, and three minutes later Winnik's shot deflected off Dennis Wideman and behind Miikka Kiprusoff.
With the announced sellout crowd of 19,289 sitting silent in disbelief, the Flames got a big power-play goal from Glencross at 16:15 as he deflected in a point shot from newcomer Wideman.
Tanguay cut the deficit to 3-2 with 26 seconds left in the period and the Flames pulled even 1:13 into the second on another Glencross deflection on a power play, this time off a shot by Mike Cammalleri.
Calgary outshot the Ducks 14-3 in the second period and could have taken the lead if not for some sharp saves from Hiller, his best being a pad save off Stempniak on a breakaway that would have put Calgary in front.
"We're getting a lot of chances and for us, it seems like scoring goals isn't the issue right now. The major issue now is keeping pucks out," Stempniak said. "We'll shore things up."
Hiller finished the game with 21 saves, while Kiprusoff stopped 19 shots.
Game notes
The appointment for Flames C Roman Cervenka (blood clots) to see a specialist in Phoenix about his condition was postponed until Tuesday. ... Seven of Winnik's 40 career goals have come against the Flames. His career high for goals in a season is 11. ... Calgary made two lineup changes, inserting center Blair Jones and defenseman T.J. Brodie in place of left wing Steve Begin and defenseman Derek Smith. Jones played in his 100th NHL game. ... Anaheim welcomed back defenseman Cam Fowler after he missed Saturday's opener with the flu. ... The Flames have eight more sets of back-to-back games. ... Anaheim right wing Teemu Selanne is tied with Phil Esposito for third all-time with 249 career power-play goals.

The Albuquerque Police Department must improve its ability to collect and analyze overtime data associated with DWI cases. By capturing data, APD will be able to quantify and substantiate the impacts that external factors and inefficiencies, such as Metro Court scheduling, have on the Department. This data is an important element that will provide valuable information through which the department can manage overtime and affect change, such as reducing the number of DWI cases dismissed for officer FTA, and decreasing DWI overtime court costs.
Overtime associated with law enforcement and court-related activities is a reality of any law enforcement agency. Overtime associated with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) activity is an essential component for the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) in providing quality law enforcement services to the citizens of Albuquerque. APD's mission, in partnership with the community, is to engage in proactive policing to maintain order, reduce crime and the fear of crime through education, prevention and enforcement. This audit addressed grant funded DWI overtime and DWI court related overtime. However, the audit did not reveal deficiencies associated with grant funded overtime.
APD is unable to effectively manage court overtime. The Department does not have the ability to collect, analyze or quantify the impacts that external factors have on DWI overtime. Average court costs for DWI cases cannot be determined. Over the 18-month audit period, APD's Metro court overtime totaled $1.9 million. Metro Court overtime is a general payroll category that involves various court activities including DWI, domestic violence, as well as traffic cases.
There are variables outside the Department's control that also affect DWI overtime. Metro Court schedules DWI cases; however, the scheduling methodology impacts the officers' ability to attend all court appearances as cases often overlap. Officers are often scheduled to appear in multiple courtrooms for multiple cases simultaneously which may result in case dismissal due to officer failure to appear. Cooperation between Metro Court and APD pertaining to the scheduling process is vital to ensure successful court appearances by officers.
Court related overtime slips do not include data required by APD Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 1-11-2; some overtime slips had multiple issues. Out of a sample of 24 court overtime slips, the following discrepancies were noted:
- Twenty overtime slips were missing the Metro Court Liaison initials or timestamps.
- Six overtime slips were missing the disposition of the case.
- Two overtime slips could not be located.
- The Metro Court Liaison time/date stamp on two court overtime slips did not match the time/date recorded by the officer on the court overtime slip.
APD does not independently track officer attendance for DWI cases. From a sample of 24 DWI cases, 14 were disposed, 8 were on-going, and 2 were transferred. Of the disposed cases, 36 percent (5 cases/14 cases) were dismissed or dropped because the officer did not appear.

Why let a little torture stand in the way of cold cash? Great article by Kirk Nielsen on selling cattle to Cuba ("Cows to Cuba," April 8). It appears that Mr. John Parke Wright IV, like many other capitalists, does not mind profiteering from the Western Hemisphere's oldest tinhorn dictatorship. I guess the fact that many of its citizens have had close encounters with a cattle prod in those numerous Cuban jails is of little importance to him, especially when the price is right.
I wonder if Wright would have considered selling cattle to South Africa when apartheid was still in effect.

Change Your
Perspective: Visit Cuba
Enough of the old agenda, let's try something new: Bravo to Kirk Nielsen for exposing the other side of the Cuba trade issue. If each of us swallowed our Cuban pride a bit and took a trip back to Cuba at least once or twice a year, as John Parke Wright suggested, there might be some improvement and a personal change of perspective.
Castro has shown time and time again that he will not change. So where does that leave those masses of people indoctrinated by his regime, people who have seen nothing else? As a young American woman born of a Cuban family, I thank Mr. Wright for not falling into the agenda of an older Cuban generation that is so full of ego and pain they've ceased to pay attention to human rights and instead view the denial of basic needs as a legitimate means of combating the Castro regime. Instead of getting on a political soapbox, we need to help the people of Cuba person-to-person.
Alma Martinez-Amores
It's time to bypass the politicians: Some months ago Kirk Nielsen and I had discussions on the reopening of economic relations between the United States and the Republic of Cuba, in the context of U.S. law and Florida's historical trade and cultural relationships with our Cuban friends to the south. His story "Cows to Cuba" has further opened my eyes to the need for human kindness and special understanding of the feelings and needs of Cubans in Cuba today, as well as their families and friends in Florida. With this inspiration I have returned to Cuba for further agricultural negotiations and to attend Mass on Easter Sunday with friends.
Cuba and Florida stand so close and yet are divided by resentments and anger. Our prayers today at the Catedral de la Habana were for peace, understanding, and loving care for each other. The ravages of a failed "blockade" and the misery brought by politicians and their egos can make me angry and sad. This is now about the welfare of people, not politicians.
Thanks to Kirk Nielsen and New Times for bringing attention to the opportunity for a peaceful change of heart in our own back yard. In these times, good deeds speak louder than any words, and so as a Floridian and friend of Cuba, I will sail on across the Gulf Stream, in the face of any storm, political or otherwise.
John Parke Wright
La Habana
Editor's note: Owing to reporting errors in Kirk Nielsen's article "Cows to Cuba," the following facts were misstated: President Bill Clinton, not George W. Bush, signed the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000. Also Cuban agricultural officials and veterinary specialists did not visit Florida this past January. The trip was postponed because of concerns surrounding mad cow disease. New Times regrets the errors.
Their moral arrogance is stifling: Great article in "The Bitch" column about Daniel Fila and Erin ("Ass Good As It Gets," April 8). My wife, my child, and I drove by the painting every day and found it very enjoyable -- bold and refreshing. It is great to see urban-style paintings done in a classy and tasteful manner.
As a society we've come to a sensitive place (or maybe we've always been here) where people are scared to death to talk to their children about anything that is even slightly uncomfortable. It saddens me that the arts are stifled by a few close-minded individuals who deem their morals and standards to be the law we should all follow. The individuals who covered Daniel Fila's painting with their "blank" graffiti are just as criminal as those who defile our road signs, walls, and fences.
Tim Orrange
It May Look Like a
Bizarre Obsession
But you'll see -- it's really an art project: Regarding "Dark Obsession" by Humberto Guida ("BuzzIn," April 8), Nicodemus Hammil is my friend, albeit a weird one. (I have always enjoyed the company of bizarre characters.) Carmel Ophir is also a good friend, and he's not weird at all, which shows that I'm open to all kinds of people.
As a friend I have asked Nicodemus and Anitra Warren to drop this nonsense against Carmel and crobar and get on with their lives, but to no avail. Whatever real or imagined thing the club or Carmel did to them, it is not enough to justify the obsession, the anger, the harassment. They've told me their grievances over and over again, and the whole thing is so lame I can't even remember exactly what it is. It doesn't make sense. But then again, one should not expect Nicodemus to be reasonable.

Original Price: $349.99 Shop all Car Amplifiers Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Ken Nail Small size, big performance Each JL Audio XD amp packs a wallop far beyond what you'd expect from something so small. These super-compact amps sport JLAudio's NexD™ state-of-the-art switching amplifier design, for music with true fidelity and impressive impact, all without straining your car's electrical system. Sharp stereo imaging, powerful bass The XD500/3 3-channel amp is ideal for powering a pair of high-quality component speakers and a subwoofer, delivering 75 watts RMS to your full-range speakers, while powering a sub with up to 300 watts. Take off the removable control cover and you'll find high- and low-pass filters that give you fine-tuned control over the character of your sound. Noise rejection yields cleaner sound "Differential-balanced" inputs keep the signals clear of outside noise, and allow you to connect this amp to just about any in-dash stereo, even a factory radio with no preamp outputs. Take control from your driver's seat with an optional wired remote control — you can use the remote to adjust the level of all three channels or just the sub channel alone.

Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system.
Big sound for little ca$h Written By Ryan, Roseville on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this on sale and couldn't be happier. I have this powering a 10w3 and components from Focal. Perfect system for a truck and not overly expensive. Pros: Fits perfectly under my passenger seat
Excellent Amp! Written By RPL, Minneapolis, MN on Saturday, May 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice amp. Paired with the new Alpine CDE-HD149BT and sounds great. Haven't even installed the new component speakers yet. Just factor with JL 12' sub. Well built. Installation was fairly straight forward. Manual is a little confusing when it talks about choosing either 2 and 4 channel mode. The amp is a 3 channel. Pros: Small size.
Great product - small & powerful Written By Mike, Charleston, SC on Friday, March 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this amp for my 2008 Jeep Wrangler to power my JL Audio CS110-WXv2 - 10" sub and (2) Kenwood KFC-1664S 6-1/2-Inch 3-Way (35w RMS) speakers in the sound bar. I am really impressed! In fact I'm thinking of upgrading the speakers again in the sound bar to something with higher RMS output. I did alot of research before buying and I'm really glad I went with this product. I had it professionally installed under the backseat and the guys at the audio store couldn't believe the price I paid for it, the 3-Channel amp they tried to sell me was nearly $140.00 more and not nearly the same quality and output specs as this product! Highly recommended! Pros: Price Small Powerful Easy to change settings Cons: None
Great 3 Channel Amp Written By Clay, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, June 19, 2012 I bought this amp for my small Audi and tucked it under the hatch floor near the spare so it's out sight. It powers a pair of components and a 2-ohm 10" sub. The HU (with 4V pre-amp outputs) powers the rears for fill. I couldn't be happier. At the time I was wondering if I needed a 5 channel amp to also power the rears. I'm very glad I chose the 3-channel instead, and used the savings to get higher-end speakers with a nice wide soundstage. The amp's differential inputs, high signal/noise ratio, and quality crossovers make everything super super clear at all volume levels. And the notches on its crossover dials allow you to get really precise with the frequency cut-offs. If you have an SUV or a larger car like a 300, etc., you might want to consider the 5-channel version. But for a hatchback or compact car (or if you rarely have rear passengers), this amp is PERFECT. Pros: small size - can be installed pretty much anywhere you'd want. plenty of power for a smaller car - 75 watts each to a pair of nice components is more than enough. selectable subwoofer low-pass filter slope Cons: none.
Fantastic little class D Written By Levi, Poughkeepsie, NY on Monday, June 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Impressive little amp- incredible quality and power for the size. Exactly the right amount of power for a two channel truck system plus sub.
Possibly my favorite amplifier of all time Written by Chris, Advisor, on 11/7/2013 3:25:00 PM Sometimes products come along that just make good sense. This little powerhouse from JL Audio is a great example of that. When I built my current system for my Jeep, this JL amp was a clear winner. I had to have it. Here I am a year later and I couldn't be happier. It's running some Polk coaxials in the front, an Alpine Type-R 8" subwoofer at 2 ohms, and my stereo runs the Polks in the sound bar. This amplifier barely even gets warm, while pushes my speakers with ease even with the Jeep's top back and doors off. What's the best part? The amp's so small, I was able to hide it away well enough that I don't even worry about it in my soft top ride.

ALLENSWORTH takes Best Acoustic 2012 Orange County Music Awards
Soul-rock quartet Allensworth was crowned the winner of the best live acoustic OC Music Awards
Allensworth at the 11th Annual OC Music Awards March 3 2012 at City National Grove of Anaheim Receiving a four-day recording session at Red Bull Studios, a full Ernie Ball endorsement and a tour pack filled with Ernie Ball strings and accessories.
Allensworth Looking Forward
With the New Year moving forward Allensworth finds themselves at the tipping point, ready to spill their sound onto the world. There's no turning back now the lights are dim the curtains opening and Allensworth is ready to take the stage. "The whole entourage is firing on all cylinders right now things are landing in place, but not by some chance of faith. We've worked hard and continue sharpening our craft".
The band prides itself on live shows constantly pushing the envelope on tone, emotional movement, and lyrical content. Although their performances have remained the staple for this group Allensworth's online content steadily multiplies. Short film posts with either Allensworth originals, comedic relief, or collaborations with online guitar virtuoso Marty Schwartz have gained them worldwide recognition. "All this momentum leading up to another album release, and then earning 2012 Best Live Acoustic Band at the Orange County Music Awards, tells us we are doing something right. We're blessed and excited to unveil the new Allensworth material and feel strongly about it being well received".

As part of the relaunch, we have tons of fun interviews, polls and other content as a sample for our Daytime Confidential readers. Up first is the hilarious chat I had below with best-selling humorist Sara Barron, who recently returned to bookstores and e-Readers with her second essay collection, The Harm In Asking. We couldn't stop laughing while reading the tome, written by a woman the LA Times said is "as funny as David Sedaris". Read on to find out why she continues to receive such lofty and spot-on praise. Pop Confidential: Congrats on your second essay collection, The Harm in Asking: My Clumsy Encounters With The Human Race, making its debut. How did your writing process differ this time around from penning People Are Unappealing? Sara Barron: Sophomore efforts are notoriously more hellish than their freshman equivalents, and I feel like now, I understand why. I expected this second book to be the easier of the two to write. I'd done it once before; I'd hoped to be more seasoned; when in fact it proved immeasurably harder. There's the pressure to prove you can do it again, and do it better, plus the fact that you are now working with a smaller well of experience. In my first book, I could defer to my tried and true comic stories—I wrote a pornographic screenplay when I was 11! I masturbated myself into a wrist brace when I was 17!—whereas with this second one, I had to dig deeper for my subjects. I had to do more with them once I found them. PC: Are you ever momentarily scared to say, let the world know you took two hours to poop as a child, while having full-on imaginary conversations with orphan teen fashion models? SB: First, the poop itself took only one hour, not two #justsayin'. Second, no. Not really. We live in a world now of Instagram and Facebook, a world that has encouraged us to go on and on and on about how fabulous our lives are: our jobs, our relationships, our children. All of it is just… so… great! And personally, I can't take it any more. This culture of showing off will be the death of me if I'm not careful, so I do what I can to survive. That is to say, I write about things from my own life that are honest, and often pathetic and, I hope, always funny. I mean these stories to serve as an antidote to the self-congratulatory, inauthentic-ness of what goes on, on the aforementioned sites. And if that means a story about childhood bathroom antics? About the imaginary friends, who, in my case, just so happened to emerge from my self-conscious as a trio of orphan teen models when—and only when—I took a dump? I can happily oblige. PC: You revisited your suburban childhood some in The Harm in Asking. Your parents must have at least considered sending you a cease and desist at some point? SB: They didn't, but they should have. I'll give you that. I think the overall attitude from my parents— about whom I have written many, many times—goes something like, "Our daughter, Sara Barron, is a woman of limited talent and earning potential. We'd rather she write about us than do nothing at all." One Response sanka9 April 15, 2014 Now I wouldn't mind reading her lol!

Commando-style team building out of favour
PUBLISHED: 15 Jun 2011 00:01:00 | UPDATED: 15 Jun 2011 04:42:09PUBLISHED: 14 Jun 2011 PRINT EDITION: 15 Jun 2011Joanna Mather
Outdoor adventure courses, cooking classes and learning to samba may have had their day in the world of corporate team building.
Around a third of bosses and employees view team-building exercises as the biggest waste of time when it comes to workplace learning and development, a survey by the Australian Human Resources Institute has found.
AHRI president Peter Wilson said some types of activities were passé because every training dollar had to be carefully accounted for.
"I think we're seeing a change post the global financial crisis in the nature of those activities," he said.
"The commando-style programs where you went away and climbed funny ropes and tried to survive in the wilderness, there's been a real turn off that."
Mr Wilson said the best team-building activities were those that presented real-life challenges and showed people how to "rely on the strength of the collective effort rather than more lone-ranger-style ways of acting".
Around a quarter of senior managers surveyed said soft skills training was ineffective or a waste of time while nearly one in five said the same about leadership development.
As far as employees are concerned, soft skills management in training, dispute resolution and workplace safety followed team building as the top time-wasters.
More broadly, the survey found training budgets had stabilised and, in many cases, were growing in the aftermath of the global downturn.
In-house training was by far the most common form of development provided by employers, followed by induction, formal education, leadership development and e-learning.
Sixty per cent of respondents reported having been involved with coaching and mentoring.
Rosemary Howard, who heads AGSM executive programs at the Australian School of Business, said the need for team building hadn't diminished. But the times were changing and such activities, whether delivered inside the workplace or out, needed to provide tangible, immediate benefits to organisations.
"Research clearly shows [that the majority of] the issues we have in organisations are due to interpersonal challenges," Ms Howard said. "So there's a lot of evidence that team building is really important."

Organ meats have been called a multitude of names like viscera, entrails, tripe, paunch, offal and giblets. Despite the 18th-century monikers, they are the working internal organs, the guts, of the pig, chicken, cow, sheep or fish from which they derive. It might make you a bit queasy to consider them a food item, but rest assured dogs and cats consider them a delicacy...and with good reason.
These meats include such parts of the anatomy as the glandular stomach, small intestine, large intestine, heart, liver, lung, spleen, kidney, bladder, udder and others. They are fresh, chilled and frozen internal organs from animals and fish slaughtered under humane, sanitary and safe practices in our modern food processing facilities. Organ meats are sold as a combination described as "natural fall" or as individual parts.
The mass of raw ingredients may seem inconsequential when expressed as a proportion of the total animal live weight (approximately 3–5%). But realize that after specialty sausage products like headcheese and knackwurst take their cut, the remainder is almost the exclusive domain of petfood, so the volume is substantial.
As a group, organ meats are wholesome, quality sources of protein and other nutrients. The folks feeding raw food, home-prepared diets and the out-on-the edge extreme performance diets have recognized the value of organ meats in their dog and cat diets for years. The value brands have quietly been customers, too. But in many petfood marketing campaigns, organ meats are being shunned because they are categorized derisively as by-products. By-product or delicacy—it's in the eye of the beholder. Maybe the critics just don't understand what dogs and cats really want.
Organ meats were part of canid and felid diets long before man came onto the scene. Following a successful hunt, our pets' ancestors and their wild cousins of today rip into the soft underbelly of their prey as a first course. This is probably not only because it is an easier entry point to the body cavity, but also because these organs represent a rapid source of nourishment. For small wild felids that subsist primarily on a diet of rodents, they will eat their prey whole—organs included. So, in this day of "wild," "primordial" and "ancestral" diets, it is all the more surprising that organ meats have the connotation of being an inferior product.
The data on the topic would suggest quite the contrary. As it turns out, organ meats have a high nutrient density, favorable nutrient profile and high digestibility. For example, Aldrich and Daristotle (1998) reported that chicken viscera and viscera plus heart and liver had a protein quality similar to chicken meat. Cramer et al. (2007) reported that pork, beef and sheep lung had a superior protein quality to that of chicken and fish.
Today, much of the organ meats wind up in the various rendered protein meals such as poultry by-product meal, meat and bone meal, pork meal, lamb meal or fish meal. Besides rendered protein meals, one can find viscera and other organ meats in a number of wet petfoods. The more value-based wet foods will also use a great deal of kidney, viscera, spleen, lung and udder.
For a few specific examples of organ meats' application in petfood, let's start with fresh chilled or frozen viscera. It contains a modest amount of protein and a relatively high amount of fat. In wet foods, viscera doesn't bind terribly well, and at high levels, it can have a potent earthy aroma that pets seem to really like but pet owners may not find pleasing. So, viscera is often relegated to a supporting role.
As another example, pork kidney, due to its high protein content, is a popular ingredient in wet foods as a complement to liver. The limit to its use is typically 8–10% in this application. Lung and udder have a similar protein and fat composition to liver and kidney, but water content and handling must be factored into their use. Like other organ meats in a wet food, they are complementary to the primary protein; but due to high fat levels and limited binding, their inclusion is often best left as a supporting role.
Few products actually feature organ meats, but there are some exceptions. An example is wet foods that have "green tripe" in their name and as the primary meat. Also, organ meats feature prominently in the treat aisle as various products such as pizzles and bully sticks can be found. So, clearly we are selectively using these ingredients in both petfoods and treats today. To what degree becomes a matter of positioning and finding where organ meats serve the product design and appeal to the consumer making the purchase.
Organ meats are generally considered safe and wholesome. Remember, most of these meats are processed in US Department of Agriculture-inspected facilities and were intended for human consumption. The discrimination against their use is a Western bias, not a nutritional or safety matter. Of course, safe handling of any meat product is important; if the ingredient is mishandled, microbial spoilage and contamination with pathogens can occur.
Research on the long-term use of organ meats in petfood is lacking, but no general issues are noted in the literature. There have been reports regarding environmental contaminants and heavy metals that can concentrate in organs such as the kidney and liver (Hankin et al., 1975); but again, the same concern is true for the human food chain. Process systems have been significantly improved since these reports were prepared nearly 40 years ago and should not be a factor today; however, diligence remains important.
Today, there are a few products extolling the virtue of organ meats in wet and dry extruded petfood applications. So perhaps the negative connotation of non-descript by-products has begun to wane. As Angele Thompson put it in a review article (Thompson, 2008), "There is a lot more to a cow than hamburger and to a chicken than chicken breast."
The "more" she was referring to are organ meats. Opening our minds to their use in dog and cat diets clearly expands our base of quality raw ingredients, provides flavor our pets relish and supports nutritional quality of a complete pet diet. As it relates to organ meats in petfood, the ski slope mantra says it best: "No guts, no glory."

under "About CDBG …Community Development Block Grant Program".
"The Community Development Block Grant is an important tool used by local and state officials as they tackle their most serious community development challenges, providing funding for public works and infrastructure, decent affordable housing, public services and economic development. Investing economic development dollars in both rural and urban Nebraska is important to the continued vitality of Nebraska's communities. These grants are an important part of the economic development mindset that helps advance our state's interests as part of the global economy.">
–Governor Dave Heineman
"CDBG funds are often the catalyst in communities that create the momentum to start and follow through on a project or business venture. As city administrator for 14 years in two small towns, I have seen CDBG funds used to leverage many times more in local funds to provide housing and business momentum in Nebraska communities. CDBG investments creates a united local effort that carries into other projects."

ARTICLE: How to Write a Book Tips
Why Write a Book This Year?
Have you been dreaming about writing your book this year? According to a recent survey the New York Times reported, 81% of people feel that they have a book in them and should write it. Why not join the list of authors who acted on that thought?
Writing a book is a great way to position you to charge higher fees, create additional income streams and go on more vacations. A book will expand your exposure, add credibility and increase your opportunities for adventure. Still not convinced? Here are 7 more dreamy reasons you should write a book now:
1. Write a book now; for now is better than later. Kill procrastination by acting now. Sign up for a good book writing course? Read a book about book writing. Sketch out your book writing plan. Remember you become a successful author the minute you start moving toward your worthwhile book goal. I don't know anyone that regrets they wrote a book. But I know plenty of people that regret they didn't do it sooner.
2. Write a book and extend your reach to the world. When your book is ready for purchase, many people will get it from all over the world. With your extended reach, opportunities for you to interact with people outside of your local area will come. Write a good book; make it easy for your subscribers and customers to tell their friends and associates. Remember, referrals always make the best customers and bring a higher rate of sales.
3. Write a book and go places you've never gone. At the least, your book will travel to countries and places you've never gone. Better yet, add speaking about your book's topic to your list of services and watch new doors and opportunities for you open. Either way, writing your book will open opportunities to go places you may not get to go any other way.
4. Write a book and create multiple income streams. Don't just plan a one book event but plan a series of books. It's important to expand your thinking to the possibilities after your book is published. Plan to produce articles, books and updates that help your readers and help you profit from your passion. Each new book or related material will create new profit opportunities, further enhance your visibility and reinforce your credibility as an expert.
5. Write a book and become famous. Grow your name to fame. Write a book filled with success experiences that motivate your audience to give more, do more or share more. Share your experiences to inspire your audience. Share how you overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges in your field. It will motivate your audience to think if you did it; they can do it too.
6. Write a book and make your mother proud. Intertwine stories into your non-fiction manuscript. Entertain your audience, make them laugh; they'll love you for it. Best of all, your family, your friends and your mother will be so proud to tell all their friends about your book.
7. Write a book and get paid higher fees. Writing a book elevates you to expert level. You gain instant credibility just by having author behind your name? And that added credibility gives you the power to increase your fees to expert level up to 400% and more.
Are you ready to join the ranks of successful authors? You don't have to call your family to tell them you'll be late again today. You won't even have to pull in more people to help you work harder. I can't think of a more opportune way to change your bottom line and even your life than by writing a book. Go ahead; write your best book now and prosper.

Don't let it gather dust any longer – learn to use your machine in this beginner's class on Sunday, February 24 from 1-4 p.m. The class will include time to learn, as well as time to begin a simple project. You will learn how to use your machine and do several basic stitches (straight stitch, gathering stitch, zigzag). Instruction will include threading the machine, using the bobbin, tension, and backstitching. Participants are required to bring a sewing machine with needle, thread, and correct bobbin. If available, please bring the user manual. The class is $35 per person ($30 for museum members) and is limited to 10 participants. Included in the cost are 1/2 yard of fabric, one spool of thread, and instructions to make either an 18" square pillow or a pair of placemats. Registration is required.
