About Savages
About the Savages (Created July 5, 2013)
One would think a post-punk four-piece band from London called the Savages certainly wouldn't be comprised of four women. But that's exactly what this all-female contingent wants to be known as, and the moniker is perfect for their intense sound and blusterous guitars.
Savages formed at the end of 2011 after guitarist Gemma Thompson and singer Camille Berthomier (known as Jehny Beth) settled on a name for their new band. Asye Hassan (bass) and Fay Milton (drums) rounded out the quartet, and the girls performed their first show in January 2012, supporting rockers British Sea Power. Soon after, they picked up by Sigur Ros manager John Best.
The first released tracks from Savages came in the form of a double A-side in June 2012. They were "Flying to Berlin" and "Husbands," and the music was universally hailed by the critics. By the fall, they were playing the CMJ Music Marathon to rave reviews, and by December had been nominated for the BBC Sound of 2013 poll.
Savages' first album, "Silence Yourself," bowed on May 6, 2013 via Beth's label Pop Noire and Matador Records. Again, the project received widespread critical acclaim upon its release. It scored an average of 81 at Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 reviews from the mainstream media. The momentum of a successful release took the band to the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, and they continue to tour through 2013, with sold out dates booked in places like Webster Hall (New York) and the Rock and Roll Hotel in Washington D.C.

Let's face it- Valentine's Day isn't really about the romance anymore- it's about the chocolate, the Hallmark cards, and of course, the sexy lingerie. But sexy and sustainable aren't mutually exclusive- in fact the most sexy skivvies are the ones that are so organic and natural they feel like a second skin. Here are a few tips to green your boudoir attire…
ENAMORE SOY AND SILK LINGERIE Enamore the sexiest of sexy underthings, made from sustainable materials such as hemp, organic cotton, silk, and soy. We love their coquettish black and white Jezebelle collection.
MYA RECYCLED PINE UNDERTHINGS Can you believe these sexy undergarments are made from recycled white pine-tree pruning? As soft as silk with the feel of cashmere, these sustainable skivvies, which are made in a small village in France, will take you 'back to nature' in no time.
AMERICAN APPAREL ORGANIC COTTON LINGERIE BASICS For us Yanks, American Apparel is a great go-to for simple, wearable eco undergarments, all cut to perfection in the softest of organic cottons. American Apparel's Sustainable Edition uses un-dyed, organic cotton that's incredibly soft and makes for great cotton basics against your naughty bits.
$8 and up from American Apparel
GREEN KNICKERS EAT ORGANIC PANTIES They're green, they're organic, and they're super cute. Unfortunately though, they're only available in the UK, so all you British blokes are in luck!
PERFECTLY IMPERFECT CAMISOLES AND PANTIES Sexy but simple, these organic cotton from organic cotton company Perfectly Imperfect sets are supple as can be, but don't lose much in the sex appeal department.
BUENO STYLE BOYCUT ORGANIC COTTON PANTIES For a perfect balance of sexy and comfortable, you can't go wrong with BuenoStyle organic cotton panties. Made from 96% organic cotton and 4% lycra, the boy-cut style undies come in vibrant colors thanks to low-impact dyes.
VICTORIA'S SECRET ORGANIC COTTON COLLECTION- Spring 2008 Last but not least, there's always Victoria Secret. You may know it, but the underwear uberchain is jumping the green bandwagon as well. Under the umbrella of their Victoria's Dirty Little Secret campaign, the lingerie powerhouse is launching an organic cotton line VERY soon- if your lady is patient, preorder her some organic cotton skivvies.

Love this! I've been hearing a lot about eco-friendly skivvies lately. I get this newsletter called BeThree and they talked about these undies and also natural lube for women, which I think is a great idea.http://bethree.com/2008/02/12/belovin-week-im-bringing-sexy-back/

Now there's some real beauty. Hey, that looks like Gwen Stefani, dude!

Bamboo underwear is way better than organic cotton, moisture wicking, antibacterial (good for women prone to UTIs and yeast infections
February 15, 2008 at 2:07 am
Very sexy, nice concept. However, how is this considered "green deign" or "sustainable" when many of the brands listed above are made in third-world countries where there are no regulations and then the products are shipped (via) cargo ship across the pacific ocean, burning thousands upon thousands of fossil fuel in the process. Greenwashing at it finestest. Mass consumption will never be considered sustainable!

Love the stuff, I need to forward onto my husband so he can give me some. I own a surf company and we make all of our knits from Organic Cotton. Check it out. Love AuH20Designs.com … just checked it out. Thanks.

A friend of mine, Kate, has a recycled clothing line, sold at her store in New York City, AuH2ODesigns.com. She literally recycles clothing to create a new, sustainable fashion.

Might there be a chance we can provide links to counselors for the unbelievers on this forum. Does not unbelief in traditional morals eventually corrupt the mind? We need to help these people.
Most unbelievers I know are sadly, mildly depressed. With nothing to look forward to after death, they become numb to glad tidings.
Lets help them by providing Christian counselors who can counsel them back to belief in Jesus Christ (notice, I did use the usual - "God", no, I said JESUS CHRIST), back to traditional morals, and back to traditional glad tidings.
I would hate for any of these unbelievers to go another Christmas without the fire of God stoking their souls.
Anyone know of any links?

It was decent. I am not a movie critic so all I know was that I was glad to have seen it in the theatre. The ending profoundly moved me. I was sobbing… but then again I am still raw from September 11th and it has been 6 years since that happened.
I'd say more about the movie but I despise when others do spoiler reviews so I won't.

For nearly 30 years, Bill Young served as a leader and prosecutor for Judicial District 27B, which covers Cleveland and Lincoln counties.
"I enjoy trying cases and, as the district attorney, you try very few cases," he said.
'Use our positions to help the community'
"We never had a harsh word," he said. "It wasn't about him, it wasn't about me, it was about the overall objective. We had the same goal, to use our positions to help protect the community."
"He is an extremely detailed prosecutor," she said. "He taught me from (the) simplest possession of cocaine case all the way up to murder ... pay attention to detail, that's going to hear you through."
Even after his retirement, Kirby-Turner said Young would call her and check in to see how a case was going.
Young said other than a stint in the Navy and his college years, he has been a lifelong

I first found this perfume in Avon Feb 2007. I liked the smell of the sample and ordered it. I have never liked a perfume the way I do this one. It's clean and refreshing, soft and romantic, feminine and flirty, it's everything all in one perfume. It's more flowery than anything I would say, and I'm not one for flowery smells, but this perfume is absolutly perfect.

Though official notification of possible furloughs for civilian defense workers has been delayed, the area is still expecting to take a hit economically as the effects of sequestration take hold.
The biggest impact could be the furloughs, in which civilian workers at Cherry Point would be forced to take one unpaid day off for each week for 22 weeks. Over the short term, the furloughs would represent a 20 percent cut in pay during the furlough period.
But area leaders see sequestration's effects reaching far beyond the gates of Cherry Point.
"In addition to the furlough of civilian base employees, there are a lot of civilian contractors who will suffer as well," said Marc Finlayson, consultant for the Allies for Cherry Point's Tomorrow lobby group. "I believe all non-essential contracts are suspended after April 1."
The 1,364 open contracts at the air station involve everything from work gloves to $100 million for engineering and logistics support, said Jamie Norment, of Ward and Smith, who is heading Craven County's coordinated effort to lessen the impact of the massive federal defense cuts. Sequestration could impact things as basic as grounds and equipment maintenance.
Meanwhile, Coastal Carolina Regional Airport Director Tom Braaten got official word Friday that the FAA contract air traffic control tower will not be funded because of sequestration.
The FAA gave a reprieve to 24 of the 173 towers that were to have closed, citing negative effects on national interests, but will stick with its decision for others to clip $627 million from its $16 billion budget by Sept. 30.
Braaten said he would be meeting with Cherry Point air traffic controllers to make sure everything is on track to continue safe take-offs and landings at Coastal Carolina Regional.
Jacksonville and Greenville airports, in fact most of the roughly 5,000 U.S. public airports, do not have towers, and the New Bern airport has operated safely at times in the past without one.
Health benefits for military dependents and retirees also fall into the sequestration cuts, which would result "in delays in payments to service providers and, potentially, some denial of service," according to Robert Hale, U.S. Department of Defense comptroller.
He said the Defense Health Program cuts "would leave us without enough money to pay TRICARE bills in the last month unless we could find a way to offset that, and it will be difficult. We're going to be faced with delaying payments to providers, which could result in denials of service."
In a letter to U.S. Rep. Walter B. Jones, R-N.C., 3rd Dist., ACT President Jimmy Sanders, Havelock mayor, said, "Although this has not received much publicity, these potential cuts have a chilling effect on morale, welfare, and our local economy."
Meanwhile, the delay in the furlough announcement isn't giving the 3,400 workers at the Fleet Readiness Center East repair and maintenance facility reason for hope.
"I've talked to the senior managers at Fleet Readiness Center East and they seem resigned to the furlough coming and are preparing very realistically," Norment said.
He said workers are already cutting back on their personal spending, such as on clothes or dinners out, which is impacting the region's economy.
"We are fighting to get that changed and have some support from our congressional delegation," he said of furloughs, "but it is still set and the impact is not just on bureaucrats, the labor force and engineers at FRC East and the air station. It's all the employees, the fire department, police force, the security guards."
"If you apply that to 4,000 plus or minus a few, most of whom live in Craven and Carteret counties, it makes up a sizable portion of the workforce," Norment said.
"It's like all those people having a 20 percent pay cut and I'm very concerned about area business as they head into the holiday season. I expect employees will cover essential expenses but discretionary spending for them is more substantial than other portions of the population who don't work on the air station.
"It will cause a significant hit on local business, anxiety in the community and have direct impact on chambers of commerce and business. This will not just cause a ripple effect. It will cause a direct effect."
Exactly how it will affect the government tax receipts of Craven County and area cities remains unclear, even as they are involved in budget preparation for the next fiscal year.
"It's hard to judge," Craven County Manager Jack Veit said. "If it hits disposable income first and people get back to basics, we may be alright on sales tax."
While a sizable portion of county residents depend on a federal check, only active non-military employees at Cherry Point will see the furlough and resulting pay cut. Only about half of them live in Craven County, although some of the contractors are in business here.

Lebo beats BP in girls' hoopsPublished Jan 29, 2013 at 12:27 am (Updated Jan 29, 2013 at 4:37 pm)
Jordan Holmes and Sam Simpson battle for the basketball during Mt. Lebanon's 49-35 victory over Bethel Park. Holmes scored eight points in the victory while Simpson tossed in six for the Lady Hawks.

Section banners are nice but Mt. Lebanon, even Bethel Park, knows there are bigger prizes in girls' basketball. So both have already put Lebo's 49-35 triumph over the Hawks on Monday, Jan. 28 behind them.
"Section is section," said Lebo floor boss Dori Oldaker. "It prepares you for the playoffs whether we win it or not. But, that's not our goal."
Lebo's immediate focus is Thursday's contest at Chartiers Valley. Then the Blue Devils face Baldwin Feb. 4 and visit Upper St. Clair Feb. 7 to close out Section 4-AAAA play.
"Thursday is our goal. The bigger game," Oldaker said as the Lebo ladies prepare for the Lady Colts, whom they defeated, 48-45, earlier this year. "We won't take anyone lightly. Who can survive," she said is basically what section play is about but "it definitely prepares you for the playoffs."
After a "disappointing" loss as BP's was to its rival, Jonna Burke concurred. She hopes her ladies learned a lesson. "This may be a wake-up call," she said.
With Chartiers Valley at home on Feb. 4 and a trip to Baldwin on Feb. 8 before the post-season, Burke said that "this may be the right time to absorb a loss. Only time will tell. But," she cautioned, "you don't play well (in the playoffs) then you are done."
Done are BP's plans to go through the league undefeated. With the defeat to Lebo, BP slipped to 9-1 in the division and 16-2 overall. Lebo is 8-1 in the section and 17-2 overall while CV is 8-2 in league play and 14-4 overall.
The Lady Hawks were done early when not only their shots did not fall but they lost their best player to foul trouble. Megan Marecic picked up her third foul 18 seconds into the second stanza and Lebo opened up a seven-point advantage by intermission, 21-14.
Marecic fouled out of the game with 1:34 to play, but not before she brought the Hawks back from a 15-point deficit. On back-to-back threes by Marecic as well as a pair of free throws by Shannon Conley, BP cut Lebo's margin to 10 points, 37-27. Marecic left the game with 14 points, all but four coming in the final frame.
"Megan getting into foul trouble changed the complexion of the game for us," Burke said. "We cannot rely on her solely. We need others to put the ball in the hoop.
"We struggled to put the ball in the hoop," Burke noted. "Fourteen points in a half is not going to get it done. That was disappointing."
Lebo's defense was anything but disappointing. Although they allowed the Hawks a brief, 10-9, lead, the Blue Devils held BP to four, second quarter points and five, third-quarter markers as they opened up a 32-17 edge after Amanda Frosztega knocked down a 3-pointer with 1:11 to play in the period.
"Their defense is always outstanding and we struggled to get open looks. Even in the paint, they have those big arms," said Burke.
Even so, she noted that BP let Lebo get two, three shots while the Hawks didn't get too many rebounds.
When down by 10, she said BP needed to make plays on defense but didn't. "Okay at that point, we needed to get the stop and we didn't and that drove the dagger in deeper. That makes any comeback harder."
Margie McCaffrey's seven free throws accounted for most of her nine points. Christine Ehland finished with 10 tallies, six from the charity stripe.
Alex Ventrone led Lebo with 11 markers. "She's a solid player," said Oldaker. "She always brings it."
Jordyn Holmes brought eight more points to the table while Maddie Collins finished with seven.
Previously, Bethel Park blasted Peters Township, 70-44, while Lebo scored a come-from-behind victory, 42-40, against Cumberland Valley.
Marecic topped 20 markers while Kaitlin Chess and Sam Simpson provided 13 and 11 points for the Lady Hawks.
For the Blue Devils, who trailed by eight after the first frame, Ehland exploded for 20 points.

The Lakers SHOULD be winning without those two. The Knicks SHOULD win without Melo. Simple as that.
Dude its DIFFERENT because the Knicks don't have FOUR hall of fame players like the Lakers pose. If the lakers are missing nash and pau, they should still be able to win with Kobe and Dwight. If the KNICKS are missing Melo and Amare, who else do they have on their team to carry the load? Are felton/chandler equal to kobe/dwight? I'm saying in terms of IMPACT, the Knicks should feel the loss of Melo/Amare more than the Lakers loss of Nash/Pau...even though that has not been the case, whether that's due to coaching or players not playing up to their ability. If Knicks lost to the Wizards or Bobcats at home, then yes, they do NOT get that excuse. But losing to a pretty good Rockets team, when you don't have Melo/Amare, they shouldn't be expected to win, and therefore yes, they GET that excuse.
Now tonight, they had NO EXCUSE to lose to the Bulls at home. That's for sure. Hopefully they win on Sunday so that the Lakers can lay the smack down on them on Tuesday with Nash returning!!!

Tulsa Outscores UAB, 49-42
Sept. 29, 2012
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Final Stats| Photo Gallery
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Alex Singleton scored his third touchdown of the day with 5:16 left in the game, and Tulsa held on to defeat Conference USA foe UAB, 49-42, in front of a crowd of 13,196 Saturday afternoon at Legion Field.
Linebacker DeAundre Brown picked off Austin Brown's pass at the UAB 31 yard line and Singleton erased them all in five rushes, crashing into the end zone from six yards out for the winning score for the Golden Hurricane (4-1, 2-0 C-USA).
The high-scoring game was marked by big offensive plays, and timely defensive stops and turnovers. Tulsa forced three turnovers, including an interception that led to the game-winning score, and a fumble recovery on a blitz that sealed the win. UAB forced two turnovers from TU, including one that resulted in a touchdown.
Tulsa's defense tallied 14 tackles for 86 lost yards, including seven sacks for 68 yards lost. UAB (0-4, 0-1 C-USA) gained 99 yards on the ground, but netted just one rushing yard for the game.
Singleton totaled 58 yards on the ground on 12 carries for his fourth career three-touchdown game, and second this season. Trey Watts ran 10 times for 93 yards and a score. Cody Green completed 23-of-39 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns to Willie Carter and Keyarris Garrett. Carter caught seven passes for 71 yards, while Garrett caught six passes for 52 yards.
UAB, which had been scoring just 16.7 points on the season, exploded for 42 points against the Hurricane. Running back Darrin Reaves ran for three touchdowns on 61 net yards. Brown completed 20-of-37 passes for 337 yards and three touchdowns, two of which went to Jamarcus Nelson.
Tulsa had two turnovers, a missed field goal and a punt blocked that ended in seven points for the Blazers. One of the turnovers, an interception, came when Tulsa was driving late in the first half at the UAB three-yard line, while the fumble was at the UAB 47-yard line and saw the Blazers take the ball 51 yards for a score.
Trailing by 14 points at halftime, the Blazers held the Hurricane to three plays on the first second half possession and then went 74 yards in five plays to make the score 35-28 as Darrin Reeves scored his second touchdown of the game with a two-yard run at the 12:40 mark of the third period.
Demarco Nelson took the subsequent kickoff 64 yards to the UAB 35-yard line, but the Hurricane offense managed just six yards and failed on a fourth-and-four play at the 29-yard line. The Tulsa defense stepped up and held the Blazers to zero yards on five plays. The Hurricane offense took the ball at their 29-yard line and went 71 yards on six plays as Trey Watts ran the final 10 yards for a Tulsa touchdown and a 42-28 lead.
At the end of three quarters, Tulsa gained only 103 yards of total offense, and the Blazers put up only 74 yards, but the two teams were even on the scoreboard for the quarter, scoring seven points apiece.
The Hurricane went into the fourth quarter with a 14-point lead, 42-28, and at the UAB 47-yard line trying to get more separation from the pesky home team when Green fumbled the center exchange and gave the ball to the Blazers.
UAB made the most of the turnover, taking the took ball 51 yards in seven plays as Darrin Reeves scored his third rushing touchdown of the game, cutting Tulsa's lead to seven points at 42-35. The UAB defense held the Hurricane offense to -2 yards on the subsequent possession and went 50 yards in three plays to tie the score at 42-42, as Brown threw a short pass to Jamarcus Nelson who took it 50 yards down the right sideline for the UAB score.
Tulsa's offense was stagnant on its possession, while UAB's next possession resulted in a DeAundre Brown interception that gave Tulsa the ball at the UAB 31-yard line. The Hurricane offense marched those 31 yards riding on the back of Alex Singleton.
Brown sacked UAB quarterback Austin Brown on 3rd-and-8, but the Blazers converted fourth down with a 17-yard completion. Three plays later, however, Mitchell Osborne gave Tulsa the ball back in one fell swoop. He sacked Brown, forced a fumble and fell on the ball, allowing the Hurricane offense to kneel out the clock.
In the first 4:07 of the game, the UAB Blazers had already taken a 14-7 lead, but by the end of the quarter Tulsa took over the lead 21-14. The first period saw the two teams combine for 324 yards and 35 points.
UAB took the opening kickoff and on the first play from scrimmage scored with a 75-yard pass from Austin Brown to Jamarcus Nelson, as the Tulsa defender, John Flanders, fell on the play opening up the lane down the middle of the field for Nelson.
After 3-and-out for Tulsa, UAB's Brown mishandled a snap and Tulsa's Daeshon Bufford fell on the ball at the UAB 16-yard line. On the second play, Alex Singleton rushed in from three yards out for his sixth rushing TD of the season.
The Blazers scored again on the subsequent possession, going 75 yards in five plays on a five-yard pass from Brown to Patrick Hearn.
Tulsa responded again after the UAB score with a 57-yard drive in 10 plays to knot the score at 14-14.
Tulsa took the lead, 21-14, on a 21-yard pass from Cody Green to Willie Carter, capping an eight-play, 80-yard drive.
The second quarter began with a block of Cole Way's punt giving the Blazers the ball at the four-yard line. It took UAB just three plays to go in for its third touchdown of the game, tying the score at 21-21 at the 13:24 mark of the second quarter.
Tulsa took the subsequent kickoff 75 yards in eight plays as Green connected on his second TD pass of the game with an 11-yard strike to Keyarris Garrett as the Hurricane jumped out in front 28-21 with 10:48 left in the second quarter.
The Hurricane held UAB to -4 yards on three plays on the Blazers subsequent possession. The Tulsa offense took possession at their own 30-yard line and went the final 70 yards in four plays as green raced 45 yards to extend Tulsa's lead to 14 points, 35-21.
At halftime, Tulsa held better than a 200-yard edge in total offense, 347 to 142, while holding just a 14-point lead against the Blazers. Tulsa gained 194 yards through the air and 153 yards on the ground, while the Blazers had 141 passing yards and one yard rushing in the first 30 minutes.
Tulsa will be back on the road next Saturday in Conference USA action against another East Division opponent, the Marshall Thundering Herd, in Huntington, West Virginia. The game will be televised live on CBS Sports Network beginning at 2:30 pm.

Approximately overall dimensions: 18 x 30 in.
Includes 15 individual tiles that measure 6x6 in. each.
For many decades tile has been an essential, vibrant, and expressive element of California's Spanish-Revival and Mediterranean architectural styles. Ceramic tile, particularly hand made and hand decorated tiles, can be found in historic buildings in places such as San Diego or San Clemente; in seaside estates like Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, or Malibu; in canyon villas, such as Rancho Santa Fe, Beverly Hills, and Hancock Park; and bungalows, particularly in Pasadena, North Park (San Diego), and Palm Springs.
Tierra y Fuego's Santa Barbara tile collection evokes the California landscape, with a combination of vivid and subtle colors offset by neutrals and matte finishes. It is this combination of mattes and gloss finishes in a vast array of colors that our Santa Barbara ceramic tile becomes rich, vibrantly alive, and harmonious.
Tierra y Fuego's Santa Barbara tile collection exhibits many different colors and designs to choose, to inspire, and allow you to create your own pattern. Our ceramic tile is handcrafted and decorated by hand using an ancient method called Cuerda Seca that literally translates to dry cord. The technique of making Cuerda Seca tile has been used for centuries in Spain and other Mediterranean countries. The depth and richness of the colors are obtained by painstakingly applying every drop of glaze by hand onto a delineated design.
If your next project includes the installation of tile in a kitchen, bathroom, stairs, fireplace, fountain, patio, entryway, or even a coffee table, consider Tierra y Fuego's Santa Barbara ceramic tiles to create a lavish and elegant ambience. The sensuality and sophistication of our tiles is the result of the human touch that has created them.
Order your sample tiles today to experience the true nature of Tierra y Fuego's tiles. We recommend you to touch and contemplate them in order to effectively appreciate their uniqueness and high quality.
PLEASE NOTE: the Santa Barbara ceramic tiles are not frostproof. If they are intended to be used in high humidity areas, we recommend the use of a penetrating sealer, specially on matte finish tiles.
|Available sizes are shown in drop down menu (top gray box no. 1). Due to handmade nature, tiles may vary by up to ¼ in. If not available in the size you need, tiles may be special ordered in the following sizes: 12x12, 8x8, 6x6, 4x4, 3x3, 2x2, 2x4, 2x6 and 3x6 (all sizes are in inches). Approximately Nine 4x4 in. tiles will cover one square foot. Sizes are nominal; meaning that sizes vary from the actual.
|Red body bisque. May be slightly concave or not perfectly flat, but overall the Santa Barbara tiles are consistently flat.
|Available in gloss and matte glaze finish
|Tile Thickness
|All our standard 4x4 in. Santa Barbara tiles have a 3/8 in. thickness. Larger and smaller tiles vary in thickness accordingly.
|Suitable for all interiors of residential and commercial wall applications. Light-use flooring as accents or as a border to define an area. Avoid high moist areas in all matte tiles. If used in moist areas, apply a penetrating sealer which forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. Outdoor use is temperate climate only. Santa Barbara tiles are NOT frost proof.
|Recommended Grout Type & Width
|Use sanded grout when doing grout lines of more than ¼ in.; and non-sanded grout when less than ¼ in. Recommended to seal before grouting. ¼ in. grout line suggested. For further advice, contact your professional tile installer.
|Color, Size, or Design Variation
|Slight variations are expected for all Santa Barbara Tiles. For instance, size, color and design are all likely to vary due to the hand made process. Please note shades of color are seen differently on computer monitors and therefore customers should request a sample before making a final selection or purchase. Lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from the original orders.
|Installation Recommendations
|Lay out material prior to installation to properly blend and balance color. Due to size variation, we recommend to shuffle thru several boxes before installation. The application of a penetrating sealer is recommended in accordance with the sealer manufacturers instructions to further enhance the durability of the tile. Note: Always perform a sample test on an inconspicuous area, before applying the sealer on an entire tiled surface.
|Care Recommendations
|Clean with mild cleanser and damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners.
|Purchasing Tile
|Keeping in mind that sizes are nominal and there is color size variation. Industry standard recommends adding on 5 to 10% additional tile to the tile needed to account for waste, special cuts, or other unforeseen problems. This is particularly important in complex installations.

"In what is being called the largest day of protest in U.S. history, over 1.5 million people stayed away from work and school Monday to take part in nationwide marches in support of immigrant rights. In Chicago, organizers claimed a turnout of 700,000 people. In Los Angeles, at least 500,000. Here in New York, over 100,000 marched down Broadway. At least 75,000 people turned out in Denver, with thousands more in cities including San Jose, Phoenix, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Las Vegas and nearly 50 others.
Businesses across the country were closed as workers walked off the job for an economic boycott dubbed "A Day Without Immigrants." Meat producing companies, including Tyson foods, Cargill and Perdue Farms closed down more than two dozen plants employing over 20,00 people. In Phoenix, protesters formed a human chain to block off Wal-Mart and Home Depot stores. Traffic was down 90 percent at the main ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach, the country's largest. The boycott also attracted large student involvement. In Los Angeles, over 72,000 middle and high school students -- about one in every four students - were absent from school."

"Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. Your local library shouldn't have to outbid Barnes & Noble for the right to have its Web site open quickly on your computer.
Net Neutrality allows everyone to compete on a level playing field and is the reason that the Internet is a force for economic innovation, civic participation and free speech. If the public doesn't speak up now, Congress will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign by telephone and cable companies that want to decide what you do, where you go, and what you watch online.
This isn't just speculation -- we've already seen what happens elsewhere when the Internet's gatekeepers get too much control. Last year, Telus -- Canada's version of AT&T -- blocked their Internet customers from visiting a Web site sympathetic to workers with whom the company was having a labor dispute. And Madison River, a North Carolina ISP, already tried to block its customers from using any competing Internet phone service."

We are getting too many reports of people buying $25 tickets to a so-called "Fab Mab Reunion" concert at the Fillmore in San Francisco thinking it is a Dead Kennedys reunion, therefore Biafra will be there.
Jello responds: Enough people are confused [that] we need to set the record straight. No, it is not a Dead Kennedys reunion. Yes, I am boycotting the whole scam. These are the same greed-mongers who ran to corporate lawyers and sued me for over six years in a dispute sparked by my not wanting "Holiday in Cambodia" sold into a Levi's commercial. They now pimp Dead Kennedys in the same spirit as Mike Love suing Brian Wilson over and over again, then turning around and playing shows as the Beach Boys. They despise everything our band ever stood for.
"Money Uber Alles" is what all these bands used to stand against. Back in Mabuhay days, no one was more up front about not selling out to Bill Graham than Dead Kennedys and Flipper, especially Will Shatter (RIP). Now Bill Graham Presents has been swallowed and the name is being used as a front for Clear Channel, as nasty a corporate predator as Fox News and Wal-Mart.
It breaks my heart that Dead Kennedys now seems to have the worst reputation of any old punk band trying to cash in on their names, even more than the so-called Misfits. We still get complaints from people who bought tickets to shows expecting Dead Kennedys and getting stuck with the world's greatest karaoke band. Others report someone they know getting ripped off thinking they were seeing me the whole time because no one on stage ever mentioned the singer's name. I guess it's sort of like paying to see Black Sabbath and finding out the singer is Donny Osmond.
So I hope people who go know in advance what they are getting into. As Johnny Rotten said at the Sex Pistols' own miserable Bill Graham experience, "Ever get the feeling you're being cheated?"
Friday's Alternative Tentacles showcase @ the Jackalope was an event for the ages, with the rockin' started by Ralph/Victim's Family and his new band The Freak Accident! Soon afterwards Akimbo leveled the crowd, making way for a surprise appearance by the original Triple-X rapper, Blowfly, who, with entourage and television cameras in tow, jumped up on stage for 2 songs. Immediately afterwards, Turn Me On Dead Man knocked out a winner of a set.
Jello Biafra had been introducing each band and before the next band Nardwuar The Human Serviette jumped up on stage and had a mini-interview with Jello Biafra about Canadians, Zolar X, and, well, we're really not sure what else because we were laughing so hard!
Beginning the interplanetary portion of the night was Plutonium's finest, Zolar X, who sent us out into space for an extended rock odyssey. And from the Planet Kero-Kero, none other than eX-Girl followed Zolar X and sent everyone in the sold-out club to the moon and beyond in the 2nd of only 2 shows in the USA this time around!
It was a great night and big thanks to the Jackalope, SXSW, the bands, and you for making it a kick ass event!

In a reply to an e-mail we sent to the Dean of Students, he wrote:"I appreciate your concern about this case, but you are mistaken as to my role in it. The Associated Press article on this story is misleading in one particular way. My comment was made Thursday (before any charges had been filed; the charge was filed Friday) and was in response to a question about whether I thought the police had acted reasonably in being concerned about the bike. I agree that we could debate this point as well, but, nonetheless, the article makes it sound (incorrectly) like my comment was supporting the decision to file charges. This decision was made by police in consultation with the prosecutor. I had no involvement in the decision to file a charge.
In any case, an agreement has been reached today to drop the charge against Patrick." [the grad student with the bike]
More info at Punk News.From the Friday 3/3/06 Akron Beacon Journal: Student charged with inducing panic over bike bomb scare
ATHENS, Ohio - A graduate student was charged with inducing panic in a bomb scare at Ohio University over a sticker on a bicycle that read "this bike is a pipe bomb," which authorities figured out was the name of a punk rock band.
Four buildings on campus were shut down Thursday, streets were blocked off and a bomb squad was summoned from Columbus after a member of the university police force noticed the Patrick K. Hanlin's bike chained outside an on-campus restaurant about 5:30 a.m. The bomb experts destroyed the bike to find no bomb inside.
University police charged Hanlin, 28, on Thursday after he came forward as the biker's owner, OU spokesman Jack Jeffery said. The charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail.
Dean of Students Terry Hogan said authorities responded to the sticker appropriately. "This is one of these circumstances where, in these times, these are the kinds of incidents that cause all of us to take pause, and I think we have to be concerned," he said."

Heyneke Meyer has stressed that assuming the Bulls' run of home games early in the Super 14 will automatically translate into success could prove fatal to his side's championship challenge.
Speaking to keo.co.za, Meyer did not believe that the draw which sees the Bulls start the competition with a run of four home games following the away trip to Bloem favoured his side.
"If you look at last year, we had five games away to start and only won one of those five. We were totally written off, and then we came back and won all our home games," Meyer said.
"I actually prefer to tour early, because then if you suffer a few injuries you're playing top sides that you're not expected to beat anyway. Whereas when you're at home, the presure is really on. Also, a lot of the teams that tour later – say for example the Reds last year – are out of the competition and it makes it very difficult for them to tour here. They don't have much motivation."
The Bulls start their home run against top Aussie contenders the Waratahs and Brumbies, with Meyer warning against over-confidence spurned by the Bulls' unbeaten run at home last season.
"This year we're playing some very strong teams at home, and we are under pressure to beat them. If we lose those games, we are going to put ourselves under pressure for the away leg.
"The draw is not something I'm factoring in as either a positive or a negative. I will prepare the side to win every game and won't target any games. All the sides visiting Loftus will still be in the competition and will be fresh, so we have our work cut out. The mistake South Africans make is assuming a home game equals an easy game, but when your visitors are the likes of the Crusaders, the Brumbies and the Waratahs it couldn't be further from the truth."
Meyer believes his side has learnt from last year's disastrous away trip, and is far more mentally tuned to what is required to excel in the extended competition.
"We must be more mentally tough this year. Whatever the draw is you must be able to cope with it."

When Brandon Zoltec, 10, saw his uncle's litter of puppies on Thanksgiving weekend last year, he wanted nothing more than to take one of those cuddly pups home.
Sure enough, the weekend before Christmas at his grandmother's house, his wish came true.
"I started to cry," Brandon recalled last week, "because I didn't know I was going to get her."
Taking "Jingles" home — at just a few weeks old — was only the beginning of a long-term commitment to train and care for her. For many households, the joy dwindles as the responsibilities and difficulties emerge.
"I think that the holiday season is a very busy time for most people," said Dr. Megan Antes, a veterinarian at Countryview Animal Hospital in Lenoir County. "… It can tend to be a little stressful or too hectic of a time to add a kitten or puppy into the household."
During the holidays, the home environment is far from normal and the new dog, puppy, cat or kitten experiences stress from leaving a former home — possibly newly-weaned — and trying to acclimate into an often-chaotic home.
"I typically try to discourage adoptions right around (Christmas) time period because of the stress," said Lynn Graves, president of the Greene County Humane Society.
People are often out of the home a lot — shopping, going to parties or visiting friends, or the house is full of visitors, including possibly small children, and other pets.
There are also many items to play with that could be hazardous to a pet — ribbons, tinsel, wrapping paper, food and alcohol on low tables and the Christmas tree that could easily be toppled by a scared or lively animal.
"We see an increase of puppies and kittens, too, that have eaten Christmas decorations," Antes said. Eating chocolate or tinsel and chewing on ornaments are all harmful to pets, she said.
The holidays are also a time where tempers may flare because of stressful conditions, but patience is needed when a new pet is introduced into the household, Graves said.
A kitten may be easier because of having a litter box and its food lasts longer. But puppies require potty training, and accidents by dogs of any age are to be expected in a new environment, Graves said.
Around spring or summer, those little Christmas gifts can become big problems which often end up at the animal shelter, Antes said.
"We see people who have adopted those Christmas puppies," she said.
Some of them were gifts given to someone who may not have wanted a pet, or maybe not that particular breed.
"It is a lifetime commitment to the animal," Antes said. "It may not suit their lifestyle."
Kris Petrusch, placement and health coordinator at the Lenoir County SPCA, said she sees just a slight increase of adoptions in December and animals returned after the holidays.
"Our numbers stay about the same," she said. The shelter averages about 35 adoptions a month.
If someone tells her they are looking for a pet to give as a gift, Petrusch said she encourages the person to discuss it with the potential recipient. Then don't just get the pet, get the basic supplies that are needed for the pet or get a framed photo of the pet and pick up the animal after the holidays.
Choosing a new pet
"Anytime is a good time to get a pet," Dr. Jimmy Shaver of Northside Animal Hospital in Kinston said. "But you have to do a little research on the type of pet you want to get."
Shaver said planning is crucial. He recommends not getting a sick or injured pet because there may be costly medical problems to deal with.
Also look at the type of breed. Online sites, such as the American Kennel Club, can be a help in determining the temperament of different breeds, Shaver said.
"Big, active dogs don't always go well with kids," he said, adding some small breeds may tend to bite.
Choose a breeder with a good reputation or ask lots of questions when looking for a shelter animal.
"A good breeder or responsible breeder is going to do their homework," Graves said. Good breeders will give lots of advice, have the buyer come to their home, provide proof of vaccinations and worming and may have a spay/neuter contract offering a discount, she said.
Even purebred animals should be spayed or neutered, unless they are pedigreed and meet the standards of the breed, so bad traits are not perpetuated, Graves said.
"Just because a dog is purebred doesn't mean that dog needs to be bred," she said.
The whole family should be involved in the decision to get a pet, Antes said.
"Puppies and children are a very cute combination," she said, "but dangers exist for both parties when they're not well-matched or well-supervised. I think, if the entire family is in agreement of adding a pet to the household, it can work."
Consistency and bonding are important to acclimate the pet to the new home.
"Just be aware," Antes said, "that the transition into a new home can be stressful for any pet and attempts should be made to provide the pet with appropriate exercise, rest … and supervision."
The pet shouldn't be left alone in the house right away. Getting a pet and then leaving town to visit family and friends is not a good idea.
"If they are introducing a new pet during the holiday," Petrusch said, "make sure the pet has a quiet place to go during holiday parties or get-togethers. This way, if the pet is overwhelmed they can go to a place where they feel comfortable."
Antes said, "Wait until the holiday hubbub has died down, and then look for a pet."
However, the holidays don't have to be a bad time to get an animal, she said.
Christina Clark-Zoltec, Brandon's mother, said she chose the week before Christmas to introduce Jingles to him and bring her home.
"For us, it was wonderful," she said.
Her son was already used to owning cats and was showing responsibility.
"Ideally, it probably would have been nice to get her in the summer because I teach," she said. "That's why we got her before Christmas so he could spend all Christmas break with her."
Getting a puppy wasn't without problems. The Zoltecs faced potty accidents, a chewed doorframe and stolen ornaments. They still deal with stolen socks and stuffed animals. Brandon had to learn that little teeth hurt, but it doesn't mean she was a mean puppy.
"It's been joyful watching my son take on the responsibility," Zoltec said. "… You've got to want (a pet). You've got to know it's not a cakewalk."

Stroll through the front door of the Southern Convenience store in Gastonia and you're met by an expected mixture of merchandise.
Potato chips and candy bars on a shelf. Magazines on a rack. Cigarette lighters, Slim Jims and even knives in a display case for sale on the counter.
Yet against the front glass wall, facing away from the parking lot at 861 N. New Hope Road, are four sweepstakes gaming machines. They've been there for months, and strongly resemble the devices that the N.C. Supreme Court declared illegal in December.
Southern Convenience's owner says he was told by the machines' manufacturer after the court ruling that they are not out of compliance with state law. Beyond that, he said he has paid thousands of dollars in license fees to the city to operate the machines, and believes he is within his bounds to continue doing so while the court ruling is contested.
Authorities aren't sure. While several large-scale, high-visibility sweepstakes businesses around Gaston County closed within the last month, police say they haven't poked their heads in every single convenience store to make sure each sweepstakes machine has been removed.
"We will definitely go out and check on locations that people report to us," said Gastonia Police Capt. Ed Turas.
But James McEntire of Gastonia said he recently got the runaround when he reported Southern Convenience's machines to city police. He doesn't understand whey he still sees the gaming devices in gas stations here and there, if the state's highest court said they're illegal.
"I went to Gastonia police myself because I have a friend who's addicted to those machines," said McEntire. "And I was hoping when they were banned, that would take care of it. But it hasn't."
Rocky road
Video sweepstakes businesses emerged across the county last year after a favorable N.C. Court of Appeals ruling, which deemed a 2010 state ban on the operations to be unconstitutional. Gastonia and other cities set up guidelines to limit where the businesses could open, and began reaping big revenues in license fees.
The state Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals decision in December, upholding the 2010 ban. Attorneys for gaming companies asked the U.S. Supreme Court to delay the embargo, to no avail.
Video sweepstakes games are played on computer terminals and can award cash prizes. They're often found in small numbers in convenience stores or bars.
Machine owners previously dodged gambling laws by selling Internet time and referring to the games as "promotional items" to drive the Internet business. Since December, many gaming operators have said they'll respond by changing the machines in ways that escape the ban and keep attracting players.
"Probably 90 percent of the operators will close down voluntarily," Brad Crone, a spokesman for the Internet Based Sweepstakes Operators, told The Associated Press. "Some operators may be looking at new software and new gaming options that will more than likely have to be tested in a series of new court cases."
In some cities, such as Roanoke Rapids along I-95, police have taken no action against sweepstakes operators on the advice of legal advisers.
Gastonia Police Attorney Stephanie Webster said last week that there's similar uncertainty here, due to questions about software loopholes.
"If people are searching for broad answers, they're not there right now," she said.
Uncertainty prevails
Jeff Mahmood owns the Southern Convenience store, as well as a gas station along Garrison Boulevard, with his brother.
They own several such businesses in North Carolina and New Mexico, where Mahmood lives, and sweepstakes machines are a part of what they offer at virtually all of their businesses, he said.
"It helps us to bring the business in," he said. "People come to play a little bit, then they buy a soda or something else, and that helps."
Mahmood said after the court ruling last month, the gaming company that owns the four sweepstakes machines at Southern Convenience called and assured that "I have nothing to worry about."
"They said they filed an appeal against the ruling or something like that, and we were good," he said.
When questioned about the machines Wednesday, Mahmood voiced frustration with the back-and-forth uncertainty over their legality here in recent years. He has no interest in breaking the law, he said.
"We are really confused. We don't know what is right and what is wrong," he said. "Whatever (police) tell us, we will hear it and go by their words."
But Mahmood emphasized he paid Gastonia $3,500 in license fees to legally operate the four machines for a year. If it's determined they're actually illegal and must be removed, Mahmood said he should get back at least a portion of what he paid.
"Why did we pay the license fees if it's illegal?" said Mahmood. "Technically, I'm supposed to get that money back.
Gastonia City Attorney Ash Smith said they've already fielded those requests from other sweepstakes operators, and declined them.
"The city ordinance is very clear that no refunds will be given for privilege licenses, even if you stop doing business during the middle of the year," he said, adding that would violate state law. "Privilege licenses are non-refundable."

As the average age of farmers in North Carolina rises and affordable farmland becomes harder to find, some in N.C. are working to give new farmers the tools they need to succeed in the industry.
The Onslow County Farmers' Market and the Onslow County Cooperative Extension have entered into a partnership with the Center for Environmental Farming Systems, the National Center for Appropriate Technology and the Natural Resources Conservation Service in a project called the Onslow Incubator Farm, according to Larry Kent, Program Assistant for the Onslow County Cooperative Extension.
Kent said that the purpose of the program is to grow new fruit and vegetable farmers in Eastern NC.
"We're trying to meet the demand for local fresh fruits and vegetables," Kent said. "We have them at the Farmers' Market, but we don't have as many produce vendors as we would like. We simply don't have them in the state."
Before people can sign up to be part of the Incubator Farm program, they need to take the Horticulture Entrepreneur Leadership Program (HELP) class which began on Feb. 1, however participants are still welcome to register.
Those interested in the class should call
Once the HELP class is finished, graduates have the opportunity to interview with the Incubator Farm steering committee to join the Incubator Farm program.
Joanna Lelekacs of CEFS said that incubator farms are important because the average age of farmers in the U.S. is 57.
"Incubator farming is one approach being tested to support new farmers," she said. "Accessing land is a big challenge for new farmers in urban areas where the cost of land is more expensive."
She said the program will train people in not only the production side of farming, but also the business aspects.
"This is like a business incubator that helps a new business get started, but it is focused on farms," Lelekacs said. "Instead of shared faxes and computers, we have a shared tractor and walk-in cooler."
Kent said the Incubator Farm begins in August.
"We furnish the land, the equipment and the training," he said. "They furnish their own seed, fertilizer and labor. Before it is over with, they provide a farm plan and a financial plan. It is a very intensive program. We are trying to grow commercial growers in fruits and vegetables."
Each participant gets a one-quarter acre of land the first year and one-half an acre of land in the second and third years. The land is located on the 12-acres next to the Cooperative Extension, donated by Danny Baysden, according to Kent.
The program will have 5-7 start-ups per year, so at the end of the three-year program, they hope to have 15-21 new farm startups, Kent said.
Gerald Harbinson, Onslow County District conservationalist for the NCRS and a member of the Incubator Farm steering committee, said he believes that bringing new farmers to North Carolina is important because of the need to the retain farmlands in Onslow County and statewide. Harbinson said that in addition to recharging the groundwater and serving as a habitat for several different types of wildlife, farmland also keeps property taxes down.
"We have a quote that says 'cows don't go to school,'" he said, meaning that the farmland provides property tax, but doesn't need costly services like schools that are connected to urban growth.
The overall goal of the Incubator Farm project is to see new farmers successfully transition onto their own land and continue their business, Lelekacs said.
"There has been a long history of apprenticeships on farms," she said. "Incubator farms are different because participants are actually starting their business at the Incubator Farm. They are not only learning farming skills, but also finding their market opportunity and building their market opportunity before they make a big investment on land and infrastructure."
Lelekacs emphasized farming's importance in North Carolina's economy — and its heritage.
"With the growing age of farmers and no one to take over the land, it could be lost," she said. "With a lot of farms selling into a wholesale market that may not come to the local level, new farmers may be able to find a niche and a sustainable business through selling to local markets."

I wore a hole in the toe of my Bites in three months. They're not made for disc golf. I'm wearing waterproof Navados right now. If you wear out shoes as quick as I do, anything cheap and waterproof is what you need.
i wear etnies - usually can get a cheap pair at sporting good stores like dicks's for about 40 bucks
skate shoes have great grip on the pads, a big rubber toe for longer damage control, downside is no grip when you are in the mud and muck
I've had my Bite's for about a year and they're still in OKAY shape.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
I went through 2 pairs of shoes (right toe on both pairs) in 2 months when I was throwing only sidearm. They were both running shoes so they had no toe guard. I bought a pair of water resistant hiking shoes from Kohls for $30. They have the same plastic type piece that goes over the toe like Bite shoes. I can't remember the name but it has a small orange mountain on them and they are grey with blue mesh. I threw sidearm only for a month or so after that and I could barely see any scuff marks on the toe.
Bite shoes are only hiking shoes marketed to disc golfers. Try to find disc golf on their website. I can't find them.

They sold bite to crocs. bite specialized in golf shoes. I contacted them about my shoes and told them Larry Bledsoe was getting replacements from Shawn Sinclare. Basically it was a sponsored thing and they told me I can't get replacements because it was normal wear. Then he listened to me rant for thirty minutes about the irony of a shoe made for disc golf that couldn't stand u;p to disc golf wear!?!?!
I got a pair of timberlines kind of a all purpose hiking shoe and the feel great. With all the wet weather we have been having the extra grip has been nice. At the same time the feel great on the concrete tee pads.
