soles of slipper messing up floors
My bedroom slippers have BLACK soles & apparently something in the material is rubbing off on my floors. I have several pair different brands doing this. When I scrub the floors my mop is BLACK not like a dirty mop just black. If any water is spilled & walked in there is a mess. I need slippers to wear & can't find any with a different color sole. I just can't wear shoes all day.
Another question.. I live in an apt & have no where to hang a string mop to dry. I need something fairly cheap as I am on a senior fixed income. My sponge mop just doesn't do a good job. What would U recommend?
I assume you are a man because I know there are plenty of shoes and slippers for women that have white soles. For men, it's more difficult.
Below is a link to zappos.com with all of the men's slippers. There ARE slippers with light colored soles. A cheaper alternative might be sneakers.
As for the mop, I would switch out to a Rubbermaid roller sponge mop. They are usually for sale at Target, Walmart, etc:
Here is a link that might be useful: zappos.com men's slippers
Black rubber soles always mark the floors. It's not true that you can't find anything different. Look in sears and Walmart and you will find lots that don't have those soles. I think you are just fixated on a certain type of slipper. You just have to look around to find some that are just as comfortable without those soles. Both my husband and I gave up black soled slippers after the first pair. He wears moccasin type slippers and I wear whatever takes my fancy as long as the soles aren't black.
I would suggest buying a pail with an attachment that has a clip for your mop and a compartment to squeeze the water out of the mop. When You are finished mopping, throw out the water and stand the mop inside the bucket in the clip and stick it in the corner somewhere.
NO, I am a woman but have a lot of problems with my feet.
Moccasin type slippers are about all I can wear & be comfortable in. I have bought many sneakers & most are here not worn as they don't feel right. I have looked looked in Walmart but not Sears. These don't leave black marks but just a coating on the floor. It is funny that the floor doesn't look black but looks brown. When I mop it the mop get BLACK. If I wipe up a spot on my kitchen new floor that part of the paper towel is black. I can't even see it black till I mop. I am in Hud senior housing & sure they wouldn't like it if they knew. This is a very nice place to live & looks more like a hotel. The price is right to. The only problem is the apt. is small.. only about 500 sq feet. The other floors are dark brown hard carpet.. I see no black on them but sure it is there. I have lived here almost 5 years & need to get a company to come in & clean it.
As for the mop the pix is basically what I am having to use but don't like it.. sure don't like a wet string mop sitting around. I see quite a few old one in the trash room so some must be using them.
I guess the 1st step is to try & find different slipper & then MAYBE I can get all the black up.
If you have wide feet or bunions try men's moccasin slippers. I have wide feet and not many women's shoes or slippers come in wide widths. I gave up buying cheap shoes and have just a few really good pairs of shoes that fit perfectly. I came to the conclusion that it is better to buy 1 good pair that fits good and wear them a long time than to buy cheap ones that kill my feet.
For athletic shoes and slippers I buy Men's. There is not much difference in looks between a man's white athletic shoe and a woman's. The same goes for moccasins. The bonus is that often you can find them on sale--the smaller sizes are usually what's left.
As for the mop, try the pail with the clip. They are not too expensive and you can leave it sitting in a corner until it's dry and then tuck pail and all in a closet until you have to use it again.
I buy leather sneakers. I am the opposite of pigeon toe (toes point out)what ever that is called & I can't wear a shoe that comes up on my ankles. My favorite walking shoe is one I got at a yard sale the building had. They were diabetic shoes a friend had that were almost new..got them for $1. I am not into buying used shoes but did this time. I NEVER did for my children. After getting these shoes I went to a foot Dr & bought a pair of diabetic shoes.. paid a big price.. they are under my bed & I can't wear them. I want to look for some SAS shoes.. they are expensive but supposed to be comfortable. I believe they have black soles though. I'll look on the net. As for slippers I'm gonna look for something like
The man who put my kitchen floor down told me to use lighter fluid to clean black streaks & matter of fact he had some & cleaned off some they made. I think Kmart has some moccasins for men without black soles.
When I get to Walmart I'm gonna look for the pail U are talking about. I had one in Florida but could hang the mop outside. Here in Montgomery AL I can't do that. I didn't bring it with me.
Thanks for all the answers.
I'm not convinced it's your slippers, sugar, not with that much black on the mop, and especially since it's not visible on the carpet. Seems like it would take an awful lot of walking on that floor to produce that much black. Perhaps it's cooking grease that settles on the floor? I'm betting it's cooking residue.
I am female, and wear stylish Franco Sarto heels and loafers that have horrible black rubber(?) soles on them. I love these shoes but they do make black marks on the floors if I walk the wrong way (or trip over myself!). I usually just rub it off my floors with a paper towel.

going strong at 6am. Within a hundred yards of the hotel, I

Just beautiful!
This alabaster chandelier is a work of art, and looks much more expensive then it is. Initially, I received a damaged dome---but just ONE call to Overstock.com - and they sent me a new piece, and a pre-paid return label to return the damaged item. The chandelier dome is very heavy. Be careful! Overall, it's a georgeous fixure, and casts a beautiful glow - as well as a "starlight" reflection upon the ceiling. Grab it, before it's gone, and enjoy!Read More
Alabaster Lamp
This lamp is absolutely gorgeous and we love it. I would've given it a 5-star rating, but here's the problem. It was not packed well and arrived broken. However, Overstock is replacing it and is sending a new one (hopefully packed more securely) and we should have the new one within a few days. It is going to look great in our kitchen. This is a very big lamp, so you could also use it in a dining room or even a foyer.Read More

awful light fixture

Questions & Answers
Hi mnmamma, the globe/bowl is 5 inches high x 24 inches wide. I hope this helps, thanks for shopping with us.
It is about 24-25" across. The marble pieces are not quite square so will not measure the same at any given spot. Very heavy.
Can the fixture be hung more than 15" down from the ceiling? I am concerned that this will not put the fixture close enough to the dining table to be effective.
Thank you for your question hapycustomer. Yes, the fixture can be hung more than 15 inches down from the ceiling, since the total height of the Alabaster Stone 5-light Ceiling Lamp is 16 inches. Have a great day.
Hello hapycustomer, the solid hanging rods are a fixed length and hook into the top side of the fixture. The ceiling mounting plate screws to the electrical box like any typical light fixture. The central conduit that contains the wiring to the five A-type lamps is a fixed length. It would be challenging to try to make this fixture hang lower. That said, it creates a lovely glow and provides ample light for my small dining room. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
using the recommended bulbs, would this fixture work on a dimmable with and safely be dimmable?
Thank you for shopping with us. Yes it can with the correct dimmer switch. Using a licensed electrician will reduce the chances of improperly installing this fixture. Have a great day.
How much does the fixture weigh?
Thank you for contacting us piercecity. The weight is 25 pounds. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
how far does the light drop from the ceiling
The light hangs 15 inches down from the ceiling.

Home Lighting - Lamp Design
Add style and warm light to your decor with the perfect lamp for your bedroom, hallway or living room. There's no need to sit in the dark when you can brighten up corners with unique lamps and stylish lighting and ceiling fans or snuggle in with good book by the light of your bedside lamps. This guide will provide you with tips on finding the perfect lamp designs for your home.
How to Install Recessed Lighting above a Shower
Adding a recessed light above the shower provides welcome illumination while showering. Recessed bathroom lighting is perfect for the ceiling above the shower because it does not take up any space over head. A special moisture-resistant bathroom light fixture is required in the shower because the area is subject to so much moisture and humidity. You may replace an existing light fixture or install a new fixture after an electrician runs the necessary wiring. Choose a simple recessed light or select a light-and-heat-lamp combination or a light-and-fan combination.
Best Light Fixtures for Making a Statement
Light fixtures can produce big design statements in a room. If something feels incomplete, even after you've decorated, chances are your lighting situation is to blame. Replacing a standard frosted glass pendant light or a boring brass chandelier with something unique and tailored for your style will pull together all the elements of a room and highlight the architecture of a home.

Top 5 Chandelier Styles
Whether you are building your dream house or just sprucing up your current home, a chandelier is a great way to add ambiance and decoration to a room. Chandeliers and pendants aren't just for formal dining rooms. The right chandelier can look great in any room. Although chandeliers come in a wide variety of styles, let's start with the top five.
Best Chandeliers for Your Home
Whether you like antique or contemporary styles, chandeliers can dress up many different rooms. It's easy to update your bedroom with a striking pendant chandelier, or add a crystal chandelier to the dining room for extra sparkle.

How to Install a Ceiling Fan

Whether you are replacing an old ceiling fan with a new one or replacing a light fixture with a lighted ceiling fan, it's a job you can do yourself. Read the following instructions carefully and always refer to the ceiling fan manufacturer's instructions for installation.
Decorating with Lamps

Egyptian Alabaster Candle Holders Buying Guide
Alabaster has been prized since ancient times for its unique beauty and soft glow, especially when used as candle holders.

Buying Chandelier Lighting for Your Dining Room
Chandeliers are the ultimate statement piece in a house. From giant crystal chandeliers that hang from high ceilings to simple styles that reside over a family dining table, lighting fixtures have the ability to make a room glow.

Lamps are more than just functional pieces; they also contribute to the decor of a room.

They complement the base of the lamp, and they also hide the bulb and diffuse the light. To achieve the best effect with a lampshade, simplicity is the key.

Our Opinion: Jeers to Obamacare rollout
A big fat raspberry to the Obama Administration for so royally mucking up the rollout of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) website.
It's obvious to everyone that the dysfunctional website was rushed out to meet a political deadline. No corporation would have unveiled a major website with so little comprehensive testing beforehand.

We have a quick walk around there are a few shops selling touristy things, a few tavernas that are open and quite busy with a coach load of students, the church in the centre is very old, but closed. The next stop is back at the coast, we were heading off the peninsular, the road was becoming less winding and the landscape opening up into olive groves, the mountains were behind us now and before long we were at Kato Gatzea a small village in a small ...

We wind our way down, park, have lunch and set out following the directions that we have photographed on Les's phone. The whole this peninsular is crossed and zigzagged with Kalderimia-cobbled ...

Bono's Address to Harvard University Graduating Class 2001
11 Jun 2001
...... Thank you for that introduction. But I suppose I should say a few more words about who I am and what on earth I'm doing up here.
My name is Bono.
My name is Bono, and I'm a rock star.
Now, I tell you this, not as a boast but as a kind of confession. Because in my view the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience a celebrity with a cause. OH DEAR.
Worse yet, is a singer with a conscience, a placard-waving, knee-jerking, fellow-travelling activist with a Lexus, and a swimming pool shaped like his own head.
I'm a singer. You know what a singer is ? Someone with a hole in his heart as big as his ego. When you need 20,000 people screaming your name in order to feel good about your day, you know you re a singer.
I am a singer and a songwriter but I am also a father, four-times over; I am a friend to dogs; I am a sworn enemy of the saccharine; and a believer in grace over karma. I talk too much when I'm drunk and sometimes even when I'm not.
I am not drunk right now. These are not sunglasses and these are protection.
But I must tell you. I owe more than my spoiled lifestyle to rock music. I owe my worldview. Music was like an alarm clock for me as a teenager and still keeps me from falling asleep in the comfort of my freedom.
Rock music to me is rebel music. But rebelling against what ? In the Fifties it was sexual mores and double standards. In the Sixties it was the Vietnam War and racial and social inequality. What are we rebelling against now?
If I am honest I'm rebelling against my own indifference. I am rebelling against the idea that the world is the way the world is and there's not a damned thing I can do about it. So I'm trying to do some damned thing.
But fighting my indifference is my own problem. What's your problem ? What's the hole in your heart? I needed the noise, the applause. You needed the grades. Why are you here in Harvard Square?
Why do you have to listen to me? What have you given up to get here ? Is success your drug of choice or are you driven by another curiosity? Your potential, the potential of a given situation ? Is missing the moment unacceptable to you ? Is wasting inspiration a crime? It is for a musician.
If this is where we find our lives rhyme; If this is our common ground, well then I can be inspired as well as humbled, to be on this great campus. Because that s where I come from - Music.
But I've seen the other side of music - the Business and I've seen success as a drug of choice and I've seen great minds and prolific imaginations disappear up their own ass, strung out on their own self importance and I'm one of them.
The misery of having it all your own way and the loneliness of sitting at a table where everyone works for you and the emptiness of arriving at Aspen on a Gulfstream to stay in your winter palace. ...sorry different speech.
You know what I'm talking about and you've got to keep asking yourself why are you doing this? You've got to keep checking your motives.
Success for my group U2 has been a lot easier to conjure than say, relevance. RELEVANCE - in the world, in the culture.
And of course, failure is not such a bad thing ... It's not a word that many of you know. I'm sure it's what you fear the most. But from an artists point of view, failure is where you get your best material.
So fighting indifference versus making a difference. Let me tell you a few things you haven't heard about me, even on the Internet.
Let me tell you how I enrolled at Harvard and slept with an Economics Professor.
That's right I became a student at Harvard recently, and came to work with Professor Jeffrey Sachs at CID to study the lack of development in third-world economies due to the crushing weight of old debts those economies were carrying for generations.
It turns out that the normal rules of bankruptcy don't apply to sovereign states. Listen, it would be harder for you to get a student loan than it was for President Mobutu to stream billions of dollars into his Swiss bank account while his people starved on the side of the road. Two generations later, the Congolese are still paying. The debts of the fathers are now the debts of the sons and the daughters.
So I was here representing a group that believed that all such debts should be cancelled in the year 2000. We called it Jubilee 2000. A fresh start for a new millennium...
It was headed up by Anne Pettifor, based out of London, huge support from Africa. With Mohammed Ali, Sir Bob Geldof and myself, acting at first just as mouthpieces. It was taking off, but we were way behind in the US.
We had the melody line, so to speak. But in order to get it on the radio over here, we needed a lot of help. My friend Bobby Shriver suggested I knock on the good professors door and and a funny thing happened. Jeffrey Sachs not only let me into his office, he let me into his Rolodex, his head and his life for the last few years. So in a sense he let me in to your life here at Harvard.
Then Sachs and I, with my friend Bobby Shriver, hit the road like some kind of surreal crossover act - a rock star, a Kennedy, and a Noted Economist crisscrossing the globe like the Partridge Family on psychotropic drugs.
With the POPE acting as our well &Agent. And the blessing of various Rabbis, Evangelists, mothers unions, trade unions and PTAs.
It was a new level of unhip for me, but it was really cool. It was in that capacity that I slept with Jeff Sachs, each of us in our own seat on an economy flight to somewhere, passed out like a couple of drunks from sheer exhaustion.
It was confusing for everyone I looked up with one eye to see your hero's stubble in all the wrong places... His tie looked more like a headband. An airhostess asked if he were a member of the Grateful Dead.
I have enormous respect for Jeff Sachs but it's really true what they say. Students shouldn't sleep with their professors ...
While I'm handing out trade secrets, I also want to tell you that Larry Summers, your incoming President, the man whose signature is on every American dollar - is a nutcase and a freak.
Look, U2 made it big out of Boston, not New York or LA, so I thought if anyone would know about our existence it would be a Treasury Secretary from Harvard [and MIT]. Alas, no. When I said I was from U2 he had a flashback from Cuba 1962.
How can I put this? And don't hold it against him - Mr. Summers is, as former President Clinton confirmed to me last week in Dublin, culturally challenged .
But when I asked him to look up from the numbers to see what we were talking about he did more than that. He did the hardest thing of all for an Economist - he saw through the numbers.
And if it was hard for me to enlist Larry Summers in our efforts, imagine how hard it was for Larry Summers to get the rest of Washington to cough up the cash. To really make a difference for the third of the world that lives on less than a dollar a day.
He more than tried. He was passionate. He turned up in the offices of his adversaries. He turned up in restaurants with me to meet the concerns of his Republican counterparts. There is a posh restaurant in Washington they won't let us in now. Such was the heat of his debate, blood on the walls wine in the vinegar.
If you're called up before the new President of Harvard and he gives you the hairy eyeball, drums his fingers and generally acts disinterested it could be the beginning of a great adventure.
Well, it's at this point that I have to ask - if your family don't do it first - why am I telling you these stories? It's certainly not because I m running for role model.
I'm telling you these stories because all that fun I had with Jeff Sachs and Larry Summers was in the service of something deadly serious. When people around the world heard about the burden of debt that crushes the poorest countries, when they heard that for every dollar of government aid we sent to developing nations, nine dollars came back in debt service payments - when they heard all that, people got angry.
They took to the streets in what was without doubt the largest grassroots movement since the campaign to end apartheid. Politics is, as you know, normally the art of the possible but this was something more interesting. This was becoming the art of the impossible. We had Priests going into pulpits, pop stars into parliaments. The Pope put on my sunglasses.
The religious right started acting like student protesters. And finally, after a floor fight in the House of Representatives, we got the money - four three five million. That four three five, which is starting to be a lot of money, and more importantly leveraged billions more from other rich countries.
So where does that money go? Well, so far 23 of the poorest countries have managed to meet the sometimes over-stringent conditions to get their debt payments reduced and to spend the money on the people who need it most. In Uganda, twice as many kids are now going to school. That's good. In Mozambique, debt payments are down 42 per cent, allowing health spending to increase by $14 million. That's good, too. $14 million goes a long way in Mozambique.
If I could tell you about one remarkable man in rural Uganda named Dr. Kabira. In 1999, measles, a disease that s almost unheard of in the U.S. killed hundreds of kids in Dr. Kabira's district. Now, thanks to debt relief, he s got an additional $6,000 from the state, enough for him to employ two new nurses and buy two new bicycles so they can get around the district and immunize children. Last year, measles was a killer. This year, Dr. Kabira saw less than ten cases.
I just wanted you to know what we pulled off with the help of Harvard with the help of people like Jeffrey Sachs.
But I'm not here to brag, or to take credit, or even to share it. Why am I here? Well, again I think to just say thanks. But also, I think I've come here to ask you for your help. This is a big problem. We need some smart people working on it. I think this will be the defining moment of our age. When the history books (that some of you will write) make a record of our times, this moment will be remembered for two things: the Internet and the everyday holocaust that is Africa. Twenty five million HIV positives who will leave behind 40 million AIDS orphans by 2010. This is the biggest health threat since the Bubonic Plague wiped out a third of Europe.
It s an unsustainable problem for Africa and, unless we hermetically seal the continent and close our conscience, it's an unsustainable problem for the world but it's hard to make this a popular cause because it's hard to make it pop, you know? That I guess, is what I m trying to do. Pop is often the oxygen of politics.
Didn't John and Robert Kennedy come to Harvard? Isn't equality a son of a bitch to follow through on. Isn't Love thy neighbour in the global village so inconvenient? GOD writes us these lines but we have to sing them. Take them to the top of the charts but its not what the radio is playing. Is it ? I know.
But we ve got to follow through on our ideals or we betray something at the heart of who we are. Outside these gates, and even within them, the culture of idealism is under siege beset by materialism and narcissism and all the other isms of indifference and their defense mechanism knowingness, the smirk, the joke. Worse still, it s a marketing tool. They've got Martin Luther King selling phones now. Have you seen that?
Civil Rights in America and Europe are bound to human rights in the rest of the world. The right to live like a human. But these thoughts are expensive, they re going to cost us. Are we ready to pay the price? Is America still a great idea as well as a great country?
When I was a kid in Dublin, I watched in awe as America put a man on the moon and I thought, wow this is mad! Nothing is impossible in America! America - they can do anything over there!
Is that still true? Tell me it s true. It is true isn t it? And if it isn't, you of all people can make it true again.

Age of Civilizations
• Maps:
- Earth | [342 Provinces]
- Kepler-22b | [404 Provinces]
• Orders are submitted before each round. The number of orders you can submit during each round is limited by your Movement Points for that round.
• After orders are submitted, civilizations execute actions in turn order, which is randomized at the start of each round.
• Map
- The capital is the most important province in a civilization. If you lose your capital for 3 turns, your civilization will no longer exist. If you capture another civilization's capital, you obtain all of its provinces. Capitals have a defensive bonus: +15% and an offensive bonus: +15%. Capitals have all buildings already constructed.
- Transparent provinces are neutral. Provinces with color belong to other civilizations.
- You can scale the map. To go back to the standard scale, double tap the map. If scale is other than standard on minimap you can see '!' in top right.
- Use the Economy and Population buttons to view each province's Economy and Population values. Use the diplomacy button to view each province's owner and engage in diplomacy (see Orders- Diplomacy View).
• Treasury
- Money is added to your treasury through income tax, which is based off your civilization's total population and economy. Money is subracted from your treasury for military upkeep, which is based off your amount of military units (units at sea have a higher upkeep than units on land).
• Orders - Normal View
- Move: move units from one province to another. You can move between provinces you control or attack another civilization's province.
- Recruit: recruit units from the selected province. This costs money and is limited by the population of the province. Recruiting from a province reduces its population.
- Build: construct a building in the selected province (see Building Types). This costs money.
- Disband: remove units from the selected province. This decreases military upkeep.
- Vassal: creates a vassal state with another civilization.
- Annex: brings a vassal state back under your full control.
• Orders - Diplomacy View
- War: declare war on a civilization.
- Peace: submit a peace offer to a civilization. If accepted, your civilizations will no longer be at war.
- Pact: submit a pact offer to a civilization. If accepted, the civilizations cannot attack each other for five rounds. This can be canceled through a War order one round in advance.
- Alliance: submit an alliance offer to a civilization. If accepted, that civilization will aid you in your military efforts. Use the War order to let allies know who your targets are.
- Kick: end an alliance with a civilization.
- Support: give money to a civilization.
• Building Types
- Fort: gives a province a defense bonus.
- Watch tower: allows you to see army numbers in neighboring provinces.

EMPIRE: Deck Building Strategy
The world is full of terrible horrors, however, and they will wear away at your Empire from all sides. Natural resources have become more scarce. And perhaps worst of all, your powerful Empire has grown heavy and full of internal strife with its age. How long can you stand the pressures of survival before your Empire finally comes crumbling back down into the desolated earth from which it grew?
EMPIRE introduces the world's first "Deck-Building 4X Strategy Game". EMPIRE is a quick, easy-to-learn yet difficult to master strategy/tactics game. FEATURES:
- Procedurally generated worlds mean that no two games will be alike. Will you find valuable mountains to mine military materials from? Food-rich forests that will grow your Empire quickly?
- A unique take on the deck building mechanism similar to those in Dominion, Puzzle Strike or Ascension. Your deck grows during the game, and it fills with both useful Action Cards, powerful Spell Cards, -- and also totally useless Strife Cards. Managing your deck is an important part of staying strong!
- Dozens of interesting tactical cards featuring excellent art from concept artist Gilles Ketting.
- A unique grid based tactical combat system. Use your Action and Spell cards to get the upper hand and destroy the enemy forces!
- Unlike traditional 4X strategy games which not only take hours, but tend to become slow and boring late game, EMPIRE is a quick, elegant knife-fight of a game.
- Designed by indie game design superstar Keith Burgun, creator of 100 Rogues.
- Play with 3 different emperors to rule your empire: senator, Wizard & Warchief.
- Fantastic graphics.
- Gather resources and boost your economy.
- Create a massive army and defend your empire.
We have tons of plans for the game in terms of future content additions, balance patches, extra game modes, and other support.

Slay is a simple to learn game of strategy and cunning set in medieval times. The island is divided up between the six players, and you must try to capture your enemies' land and link up your own territories to create larger and stronger ones. You begin capturing land by attacking with your peasants. Once your territories become richer you can combine peasants to make stronger and stronger people (Spearmen, Knights and then Barons) who can kill weaker enemy troops, or knock down their castles. Just be careful that you don't create too many expensive men or the territory will go bankrupt!

"We used this for the birth announcement of our sweet girl. They came out beautifully. I usually am a big fan of the pearl paper but I do feel that in this case it took away from the overall look."
"The cards I ordered came quicker than expected and were wonderful quality. Tinyprints was the only company I could find that had Holiday Cards that were also Birth Announcements."
"We were looking for a combo birth announcement/Christmas card and this was perfect for our needs. I loved so many of the options available at this website, yet this was our favorite for our precious little girl. I really liked the paper quality for the professional pictures we used on the card. As well it looks very professional overall instead of a glossy picture card, which can look a little cheap. Everyone has commented how great the pics are, which means the pics are showcased well. That's what we wanted. Also like the feature of this card that it has print and picture options on the back. I will be coming back to shop on this site again for our family cards!"
"The cards are beautiful. The cardstock and printing are both very high quality and the design looks great with our photos. Very happy with cards."
"these cards are gorgeous! great quality and very expensive looking! i love tiny prints and their products! i know i will get awesome quality when i order, no doubts!"
