Strikehouse Bowl on Whiskey Road held a grand opening Friday evening with owner Robert Dutcher and his family ushering in the new building with a ceremonial roll.
Dutcher put the finishing touches on his new investment with free pizza, soda and T-shirts for customers as they came bustling through the doors waiting for a chance to bowl in one of the first alleys built in the area in years.
"I just want people to know that we're all about community," Dutcher said, adding he wants to attract young and old bowlers.
Eighty-one-year-old Rita White of Aiken was one of the first bowlers to come shuffling in, hoping to rekindle a love for bowling that started years ago.
"I really wanted to help them initiate the new place and be here for the grand opening," White said.
Helen Swearingen of Warrenville, a bowler for about 35 years, said the new alley was "wonderful," adding that Aiken needs more family-oriented activities.
Aiken resident Drew Winburn, age 8, was also excited, saying he was glad the new alley was close to his home.
Dutcher was hoping to open a bowling alley with his father, but he passed away before they could accomplish that goal.
Although his father wasn't there Friday, the first few rolls were done by his family.
"That was kind of to baptize the lanes if you will," Dutcher said.
He added that he wouldn't close down the lanes on opening day until the last customer left Friday night.
"We want it to be a classy, family-oriented place," he said. "I've been renovating here for a little over three months now so we've become quite the family over here."
The original alley, built in 1953 by Tommy Crouch, was established for SRS employees to have a place to go and have a fun.
Dutcher, who works at SRS, hopes to recapture that same popularity and offer local residents friendly competition on the lanes.
Business hours will tentatively be Monday through Thursday from noon to midnight, Friday from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Dutcher said the times may change once he and the staff get a feel of when customers will be coming in to bowl.
He also plants to offer leagues, parties, private events, church or school lock-ins and after school functions.

Spicy Pine forest
Gris Clair
Burnt Lavender Field
Thread: Serge Lutens - Recommendations?
I've just ordered a bottle of Cherqui as it seems to come quite well recommended and the description sounds like its something that would appeal to me. I was just wondering if there were particular 'stars' from this range that I should pay attention to?
Ambre Sultan
Bazaar in hot desert
Dried Fruit that remind me of X'mas
Fille en Aiguilles
Spicy Pine forest
Gris Clair
Burnt Lavender Field
***My favourite from my collection***
-------- Amouage Tribute Attar
------ Serge Lutens: Ambre Sultan
-------- Les Exclusifs de Chanel: Sycamore
------ Amouage: Fate Man
-------- Amouage: Epic Man
------ Tom Ford Private Blend: Noir de Noir
-------- Terre D'Hermès Pure Parfum

Good choice. Many others are great, it depends on what you like. My favorite is Sarrasins too, jasmine leather. More traditionally masculine, Ambre sultan, Borneo, Fumerie Turque, etc.
My Chergui arrived this morning - love it!
Definately going to try some of the others from the range.
I have known about this brand for some time but haven't had the chance to sample it or to look through the range in detail. At the weekend I stopped by a S & L counter and man do these guys have some seriously good scents to choose from!
One notable fragrance was La Nuit, an obvious floral and quite feminine, but it was a superb jasmine note. Very authentic and strong but not in an overpowering way. Loved every second of it!! I really need to look into this brand more.
Try the more controversial or challenging ones such as Muscs Koublai Khan, Iris Silver Mist & Serge Noire. Imo its also worth exploring the lesser known Lutens e.g. Fleurs d'orangeur, Rahat Loukhom, Datura Noir, etc.
Huge house with some real top notches...my personal favorites:
Iris Silver Mist
Muscs Koublai Khan
La Myrrhe
Tubereuse Criminelle
Fille En Aiguilles
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
My fav. Fille en Aiguilles + Borneo + Five o'clock + Fumeire T. + Santal Majuscule + Un Bois Vanile + Jeaux de Peau
everything by Lutens , you can't go wrong!
Good choice. Many others are great, it depends on what you like.
I'd recommend Ambre Sultan and Chypre Rouge

I cant tell if he doesnt let it go or hes just not that well rounded, said White as transcribed by Tom Ngo from 5thround.com. Hes just very one-dimensional. He has this style of nullifying a fight. He has a style of just making the action stop. I think that a lot of guys, he bugs them out and gets in their head when he starts doing that and they feel like they cant land and it ends up being this staring competition.
All the way leading up to this fight, I kept saying this is the perfect fight for MacDonald because were gonna find out what hes really got in this fight because Robbie Lawler is going to take it to him. Robbie Lawler has this style of wrestling and hands and the power to hurt you that youre going to have to fight completely different than you have been.

- History
Samoa, country in the central South Pacific Ocean, among the westernmost of the island nations of Polynesia.
According to legend, Samoa is known as the "Cradle of Polynesia" because Savai'i island is said to be Hawaiki, the Polynesian homeland. Samoan culture is undoubtedly central to Polynesian life, and its styles of music, dance, and visual art have gained renown throughout the Pacific islands and the world. The country's international image is that of a tropical paradise inhabited by tourist-friendly, flower-wreathed peoples. Yet this belies the economic, social, and political challenges of this diverse and evolving Pacific microstate. Samoa gained its independence from New Zealand in 1962 after more than a century of foreign influence and domination, but it remains a member of the Commonwealth. The country was known as Western Samoa until 1997. Its capital and main commercial centre is Apia, on the island of Upolu.
Samoa lies approximately 80 miles (130 km) west of American Samoa, 1,800 miles (2,900 km) northeast of New Zealand, and 2,600 miles (4,200 km) southwest of Hawaii. Samoa, which shares the Samoan archipelago with American Samoa, consists of nine islands west of longitude 171° W—Upolu, Savai'i, Manono, and Apolima, all of which are inhabited, and the uninhabited islands of Fanuatapu, Namu'a, Nu'utele, Nu'ulua, and Nu'usafee. (The six Samoan islands east of the meridian are part of American Samoa.) The total land area is smaller than the U.S. state of Rhode Island but about 2.5 times larger than Hong Kong.
Relief and drainage
Savai'i, the largest island, covers 659 square miles (1,707 square km) and rises to a maximum elevation of 6,095 feet (1,858 metres) at Mount Silisili, a volcano at the island's approximate centre. Mounts Māfane, Mata'aga, and Maugaloa are also imposing peaks. Upolu, the other large island, lies about 10 miles (16 km) to the east across the Apolima Strait. Upolu is more elongated and uneven in shape than Savai'i and has lower average elevations. It occupies an area of 432 square miles (1,119 square km), including five offshore islets, and rises to 3,608 feet (1,100 metres) at Mount Fito. Manono and Apolima are smaller islands lying in the strait between the two main islands.
All the nation's rivers are shallow, are limited in extent, and radiate directly from the central highlands to the coast. The islands are rocky, formed by volcanic activity that progressed from east to west within the past seven million years. They are ringed by coral reefs and shallow lagoons except where the shorelines are marked by cliffs formed by lava flows. Mount Matavanu on Savai'i last erupted intermittently during 1905–11. Samoa's volcanic soils support lush vegetation but are easily eroded by runoff.
The climate is tropical and humid. Precipitation varies from more than 100 inches (2,540 mm) on the northern and western coasts to 300 inches (7,620 mm) inland. Temperatures vary little, averaging 80 °F (27 °C) and ranging between 73 and 86 °F (23 and 30 °C) throughout the year. The southeast trade winds prevail, varying occasionally to northerlies during the wet season (November or December to April), when severe storms are liable to occur. Typhoons occasionally cause widespread damage.
Plant and animal life
Samoa's lush vegetation includes inland rainforests and cloud forests. Large sections of the coast have been covered with taro plantations and coconut groves. The islands support limited animal life, although more than 50 species of birds are found there, at least 16 of them indigenous, including rare tooth-billed pigeons. The only native mammals are flying foxes, which are endangered, and other species of smaller bats. Rats, wild cattle, and pigs have been introduced. Among the smaller animals found in Samoa are several species of lizards, two snakes of the boa family, centipedes and millipedes, scorpions, spiders, and a wide variety of insects.
O Le Pupu Pue National Park (1978), Samoa's first national park, occupies some 11 square miles (28 square km) on south-central Upolu. Conservation efforts have been lax in many Samoan communities. Soil erosion, resulting from farming steep slopes and clear-cutting forests, has produced runoff that has damaged many of Samoa's lagoons and coral reefs. Industrial and residential pollution has become a concern in and around Apia. Wildfires in 1998, which were started by farmers clearing land for cultivation, destroyed nearly one-fourth of the forests on Savai'i.
Ethnic groups
Samoans are mainly of Polynesian heritage, and about nine-tenths of the population are ethnic Samoans. Euronesians (people of mixed European and Polynesian ancestry) account for most of the rest of the population, and a tiny fraction are of wholly European heritage.
The Samoan language, believed to be among the oldest of the Polynesian tongues, is closely related to the Maori, Tahitian, Hawaiian, and Tongan languages. A large number of Samoan words reflect maritime traditions, including names for ocean currents, winds, landforms, stars, and directions. Some verb forms indicate the relative positions of objects, including directions of movement toward or away from the speaker. English is widely spoken as a second language.
Samoans traditionally had a pantheistic religion, where family elders performed most rituals; they appear not to have had a dominant priestly class. They readily adopted Christian teachings following European contact, and even the more remote villages built churches, often of grand proportions. The Congregational Christian Church in Samoa (formerly the London Missionary Society) was dominant until the late 20th century, but it has since lost many adherents to the Mormon church. Mormon and Congregationalist groups now account for roughly one-fourth of the population each. About one-fifth of Samoans are Roman Catholics, and about one-ninth are Methodists. Pentecostals, Seventh-day Adventists, and other Christian groups have more limited memberships.
Settlement patterns
Most Samoans have lived in coastal villages since the region was first settled, and about four-fifths of the population is still rural. Apia, on the northern coast of Upolu, is the nation's only town as well as the main port and centre for services and trade; it contains approximately one-fifth of Samoa's population.
Demographic trends
The birth rate in Samoa has been high since the 1950s, when the population reached about 80,000. Although that number had doubled by the mid-1990s, the population's rate of increase remained markedly lower than the world average because tens of thousands of Samoans had emigrated to New Zealand, the United States, Australia, and elsewhere. Life expectancy at birth is 67 years for males and 72 for females. About two-fifths of Samoans are less than 15 years old.
147 seats are reserved for ethnic Samoans.

and will cut him in two, 70 and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.The cut him in two, which stage of hell does that take place in? Is that right after the rapists but before Hitler? Sorry for the sarcasm, I know this is serious, and I'm praying that it goes well, and your parents awake to the good news of great joy for all people.But whats the point of being cut in two if you're going to burn forever? The word there is dichotomy btw, kind of interesting. Maybe it has to do with separating the old man from the new?
sorry thats all I've got. What exactly is the problem of Matthew 24 for your dad?
when John received the Revelation at the place of his killing
I know that it doesn't necessarily directly allude to Matthew 24:1-35, but there is a good document from Dr. Bob Wilson about Jesus' usage of 'Gehenna' here: http://www.evangelicaluniversalist.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1269, which can be downloaded from his first post.I like Nathan's enthusiasm!
I like Nathan's enthusiasm too, BUT...Quote from: Nathan on August 12, 2011, 02:54:20 AMwhen John received the Revelation at the place of his killing John died of old age in Ephesus (Turkey). I'm just guessing Nathan knows that and is speaking about something spiritual How do you know John was killed on Patmos?
But we haven't seen the end of the age yet."All right," Jesus replied. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."--John 2:19It is a double prophecy. It began in 33ad at the cross. But, the old system, Babylon, is still with us. It is making its last play for world dominance as we speak.
I was going on an assumption that most people knew the definition of "Patmos". It literally means "place of my killing". Nothing is as it seems guys. That's why I try not to get too deep into debates on surface issues . . .the natural stories are merely gateways leading into spiritual truths. Several instances Scripture uses the phrast "things above the earth, on the earth and under the earth . . .I believe it's spiritual speaking to dimensional truths. The literal story laying on the surface of the earth, being the "above the earth" the moral value is "in" the story being "on" the earth and the spiritual truth beneath the story would then be that which is "under" the earth. Before John could even receive a revelation of Jesus, he first had to come to . . .the place of his killing .. as do we all.
Revelation 1:17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.Yes, he was as dead in the very first chapter yet went on to finish the Revelation.Stating the John physically died on Patmos is an assumption.
10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come
. . . people today are still misinterpreting this and thinking it means that the end of this earth will come once men finally hit that one last lost tribe in Africa . . . Puh-leeze . ..
Quote from: Beloved Servant on August 12, 2011, 05:36:04 PMRevelation 1:17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.Yes, he was as dead in the very first chapter yet went on to finish the Revelation.Stating the John physically died on Patmos is an assumption.Where are you getting that? Re-read what Nathan wrote before you decide to nit pick posts.(the quotes weren't showing up right shawn, so I edited to make it clearer - james)

This story was updated on March 27 at 3:30 p.m.
A former Fairfax County Police officer and his daughter are both dead in an apparent murder-suicide that police said occurred in Annandale early this morning.
According to police, former Sgt. John Jackson, 40, and his 13-year-old daughter, Alexis, both of the 5900 block of Summers Lane in Falls Church, were found dead at 1:15 a.m. in a vehicle parked in the driveway of a home in the 3800 block of Forest Grove Drive.
�Police responded to a report of a shooting and discovered the two bodies inside an SUV,� said police spokeswoman Tawny Wright. Police said the Annandale home was the residence of family members related to Jackson, but did not elaborate.
�The SUV was towed to our crime scene lab,� Wright said.
Police said they believe the shootings occurred sometime between midnight and 1 a.m.
�We are currently classifying this case as a homicide-suicide,� Wright said.
Officer Shelley Broderick said that Jackson resigned from the Fairfax County Police Department in June 2010 after serving 16 years, but did not give a reason for his resignation. �That would be a personnel issue and not something we would release,� she said.

I take it in the morning and it's great knowing you've had your 5 a day before you've started work! You can spend the rest of the day guilt free, well almost! :)
I've use the tropical punch flavour which is nice enough. It takes a couple of shakes to get used to the taste, but I haven't found the need to mix it with juice.
Can be slightly gritty but you know it's doing you good - Would recommend!

A fast, easy, and surprisingly tasty way to get your 5-a-day.
Was looking to get some other 'green' supplements from the high street, but got this on an offer.
Taste is surprisingly good just with water. Normally green powder drinks taste like licking the underside of the lawn mower.
Only criticism is either have a longer handle on the scoop or a shorter bag.
While I haven't gained any powers, I have noticed that I generally feel better and look better, now that maybe my wishful thinking but it must being doing good for me!
It recommends using 3 black scoops twice daily; me being a stingy bastard I only use one scoop, which ultimately must be working because I haven't had a cold for bloody ages, and it does say it 'aids immune function.'
Flavouring is tropical, very nice, I like Tropical flavour, would of been annoyed if it tasted any different.

The flavour is honestly banging, you'd expected it to taste a lot worse from the vivid green colour, but it's like a slightly earthy Robinsons. I didn't even add any juice as it suggests.
Definitely going to pick this up again, and recommend you try it!

This product has an acceptable taste to it in it unflavoured when mixed with Wild Raspberry or Choc Mint Brownie flavour whey or milk based protein powders or some strong tasting Green Apple or Tropical flavoured BCAA's.
I normally find it very difficult to meet the 5 a day recommendation of fruit and vegetables as most people do, this is a great product to add to your supplement collection and combines well with a multi-vitamin supplement and range of protein powders, the Diet Super Greens is also another great version which I am currently using on my summer fat loss diet.
I have tried this in Tropical Punch and found it to be great, it tastes like a fruit juice or flavoured amino acid based product, the flavouring completely masks the taste of the greens which can be unpleasant for some when mixed in plain water.
This greens powder has a strong colour when mixed with water you would think it would have a strong unpleasant taste but it does not, it tastes just like a tropical flavour squash drink which is awesome and makes it real easy to consume on a regular daily basis, I actually look forward to having this every morning before any protein shakes or solid meals, It only need to be mixed in about 250 ml of water and has a smooth texture unlike some other greens products that I have used in the past.
TPW Super Greens gets 5/5 because it is a great mixing greens powder with an awesome taste.

Well done TPW
Excellent product and decent value. Top taste!
I'm keen to see the results after using it for a couple of weeks, but based upon the nutritional content and the taste alone, plus the value per bag, I'm going to give this 5 stars :)

Super Greens is an essential supplements for maintaining overall health and well being it also tastes fine in unflavored when mixed with a strong mint choc flavour protein powder or some strong tasting apple or tropical BCAA's.
I have tried this in Tropical Punch and found it to be great, it tastes like a twister ice lolly, from looking at the colour of this greens powder when mixed with water you would think it would have a strong unpleasant taste but it does not, it tastes just like a tropical flavour squash drink which is awesome and makes it real easy to consume on a daily basis, I actually look forward to having it every morning.
5/5 a great mixing greens powder with an awesome taste.

Super Greens to the rescue! I have a serving at breakfast time mixed with water. The formula must've changed as the first time i got it (orange flavour) it didn't taste great but i still chugged it down, but now the tropical flavour, even with water, makes it a pain free way of getting some nutrients in your body!! I make it with room temperature or luke warm water as it goes down easier.
By no means should it replace vegetables in your diet (i'm adding more real veg!) but it's great to fill the nutrient gap!
After finding it pretty much impossible to swallow, I contacted TPW who were happy to exchange for flavoured version. I chose Tropic Punch.
Massive difference, and now am a committed user.
Top marks to TPW for great product and great customer service too.

Many greens drinks can taste awful but not TPW Greens, you wouldn't even know it was a greens drink.
Adding more vegetables to your diet is great for ensuing an alkaline environment in our body as the majority of the foods we eat are acidic. Our body tries to maintain the pH and when our pH is too high or too low, we can fill ill, tired, gain weight, have poor digestion and get aches and pains.
It could be a coincidence, but I seem to have more energy in the mornings since taking this and I no longer find it so hard to get out of bed!
The taste has improved and tastes great with pure orange juice.
Have been strict and had at least one serving a day.
Will be back for more
If you only have time (or cash) for one supplement, I think you should seriously consider making it this one. The stuff is not as sexy as other supplements which get the full pseudo-scientific marketing makeover, but green powder delivers but of its incredibly dense nutritional profile. It's also very versatile. You can very easily replace a meal with a glass of this, or if you are looking to maintain/add weight, mix a glass up and have it with your meal. Mix a bottle with it and take it to the gym for an intraworkout drink. And if you think you can't get seriously strong from consuming a product which has dried grass and algae in, then you've never been headbutted by a horse or seen a blue whale ploughing through the ocean. Both these species are powerhouses and they consume the same kinds of stuff in this.
This TPW blend is superior to any I have tried. It is smoother, it keeps me feeling full for longer and the added taste (I have the mandarin orange) transforms the chore of chugging the green gloop down into a drink you can actually savour. I mix it with apple juice as this combines very favourably with the orange taste I find.
Great product, excellent price and quality and I will defintely reorder when this bag runs out.
I've tried green shakes in the past, and I was apprehensive about this one too- but I was so, so wrong! Tropical fruit flavour tastes amazing and I even look forward to my daily shake!
I suffer with depression and therefore sleep becomes a therapy when I am at my worst; this gives me the energy to face my day to day life without feeling sluggish. Not to mention this mixed with exercise proves to be the best type of anti-depressant.
Thank you Protein Works.
So here's mine;- since taking super greens nearly 2 weeks now, around 9am I have never felt better!! I feel wide awake, full of energy and my overall well being is amazing, with the overall intention of giving you your essential 5 a day. TPW have yet again exceeded all my expectations. Top product, top company!

Flavour is not great but mix it with Orange Juice and you wont notice the difference. Highly Recommend!!
Has a slightly bitty texture to it, naturally, but the orange (I bought) really just taste like orange! No need for juice here. Have it after my run with breakfast and enjoy it.
Will be buying this again and again, maybe tropical punch next!
No idea how these guys do it, but best tasting supplements on the market without a doubt. Not found anything I don't like and easily up there with the best nutritional values!
Taste is surprisingly good just with water. Normally green powder drinks taste like licking the underside of the lawn mower.
Only criticism is either have a longer handle on the scoop or a shorter bag.
As to the taste, I get the unflavor one and I mix it with water and a bit Zero Syrup , it's drinkable and no weird taste!
However the mandarin orange flavour is just right and I can actually stomach to drink these without putting it in juice or squash.
Big thumbs up from me
I read all the reviews before buying this product and the number one thing that stood out was "taste".
I could tell it would be good for me, I mean 5 of your 5 a day in one serving !?!? That's Awesome !
However on to taste...I mixed up my first batch 7.5g with 300ml of water and gave it a good shake in the mixer and then looked at it. I was looking at glass of grass with some mud thrown in (if I didn't know better) anyway I sipped very slowly the first sip and OMG I don't know what all the fuss is about ! It was lovely ! It really did taste of Mandarin Orange with no bitter or yucky after taste. Now Im funny when it comes to taste but was prepared to "lump it and like it" due to it being so good for you. The taste is a bonus imo. So VERY WELL DONE TPW ! You have a first class product and what shud taste like muddy grass doesn't, so its all good.
I will ALWAYS order Mandarin Orange just incase the other flavors do match up to the class of this one.
10/10 !
With immediate effect I noticed a big difference in energy and assertiveness, it felt like I was glowing with energy lol. The color as mentioned could be off putting, but don't let it.
I went for Tropical Punch and it tastes lovely, real fresh first thing in the morning with cold mineral water from the fridge. Mixes well with no lumps although again as mentioned, can taste a little chalky but that's no major biggy considering the benefits, and it does turn everything green from the moment you open the packet. Transferred mined into a shallow tub and voila :)
Excellent service from TPW team as usual with next day delivery. Try it, taste it, the benefits outweigh the niggles. I'll be back for more.
I mix the unflavoured with my regular protein shake and it tastes fine. Don't get me wrong it does alter the flavour of my protein slightly but it is not noticeable, and I have actually grown to enjoy the earthy flavour - reminds me what I'm actually drinking - greens!
As far as benefits go, I am astounded. Just 2 weeks in and I'm already feeling much more energetic, less fatigued later on in the day and my skin has even improved!
Overall I'd give this product 6 stars if I could - thanks TPW - my new favourite supplement and I can't wait to buy more!
I ordered a bag of Pomegranate and Cranberry rather reluctantly, and now I will never go back.
This product is excellent and tastes AMAZING (Pomegranate and Cranberry.
The only complaint I have is the pouch opening is to small, so you end up with a Green hand - Problem solved though, just buy a bigger bag ;)
its really really nice, kind of a tropical taste and so much better than I had expected and even hoped
dissolves well, didnt really need a shaker
This is a perfect addition to my training.
Also the pomegranate & Cranberry flavour is amazing. Looks like hulks puke, but the taste makes it so palletable, great for what it's required to do.
I tend to make one up first thing in the morning as a kick start to the day, and it certainly works.
Always in my supplement stack these days. :-)
Okay, so you aren't going to be sipping these over ice laying on a tropical beach, but that's really not the point is it? The taste is 'fine', really not that bad, and you do feel the 'magic', just mix it up and take it like a shot and it's done.
It's definitely the colour that is more off putting than the taste, i had the Tropical Punch, but I hear the Cranberry is actually really good.
As for the colour/taste i mix it in my black protein shaker, can't tell what colour it is and tastes fine, I'm always recommending this product to people
so glad i did only been taking a couple of days and already feel benefit's
got pome/cran flavour take twice aday
in protein shake tastes pretty good
and super health benefits
in not a lover of veg and fruit so this is a brilliant product for me
tpw my new best friend
Firstly you are drinking it because it's really good for you and gives you 100% of your five a day.
Now this is a greens formula, so I fully expected it to taste like a whisked up sample of the bottom of a nature pond, with added reeds and Lilly pads.
So it's a very green very fine powder (which gets all over your hand when scooping it out). When mixed it has a very grim looking dark green colour.
I got the orange flavour and was pleasantly surprised, yes it tasted slightly earthy or muddy however it tasted of orange and quite nice too, don't get me wrong you will not see me on the sun bed drinking these for pleasure, but it is far far better than what I expected.
Only little point, weigh it out, it appears that a serving for me is 2 1/2 scoops not 3.
The pro's outweigh the con's so it's worth drinking!
4 stars for great health benefits but bad look and flavour.
To be honest, there are flavoured versions available, but I am loving the unflavoured powder with a little squash - yummy!
Now about the magic take the powder regularly and you will notice the difference in a matter of days! I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and have come to rely on my Super Greens powder to give me the energy, vitality and boost of all-round goodness I need to keep going at the gym.
I cannot rave about the Super Greens powder enough and, believe me, it would take more than one review to list the ways it has helped me.
So trust me. Get on this stuff as quickly as you can and feel good. Feel the magic!
I'm just about used to it now,although I still feel like I've past some lost long tribes manhood ritual every morning.
I will be buying another packet, Unflavoured, because it must be doing some good.
The 'but' from my review is to echo other reviewers comments. The scoop does need a small redesign - either bigger so one scoop is all you need or at least could it have a longer handle, more like a teaspoon. Really not rocking the green fingers thing..
I found it difficult to drink unflavoured so my favourite mix is 2 parts fresh orange juice to 1 part water. My beautiful green drink!
With orange juice or mixed in my protein shake the taste is actually quite acceptable (and this is coming from someone very very picky). Well done TPW!
It's a bit hard to take it out without getting super green hands, so I'd recommend using a different container.
Other than that, great product. And 5 a day for that price, ease and taste? Any time!
Barely noticed any trace of the actual product taste with the orange flavour coming out well. Almost to the point that I could almost say the taste was good rather than acceptable for a greens drink.
I went for the orange flavour and was amazed that it tasted ok, I was preparing myself for a nose holding experience, but no need. Will continue to buy.

I chose to go for the unflavoured as the tablet version of these were pretty easy to stomach. God, is the unflavoured powder is a total contrast. I appreciate other reviewers saying the unflavoured is ok. But seriously it is wrank. I have resorted to mixing my 2-3 scoops with fresh orange juice. This thankfully neutralises the overwhelming grass-flavour of the unflavoured version and makes this product stomach-able.
Separate from the flavour i am a huge advocate for use of supergreens, especially if like me you push the green stuff on your plate to the side. Although i do not feel as energised using them as other people describe, i certainly feel they have helped my digestion as before i always had a sensitive stomach, which is a lot better when i get my daily super greens.
In summary i do recommend this product, but stay away from the unflavoured unless you like the overwhelming taste of grass.
Since starting to drink this, I feel much healthier, have more energy and feel generally fitter. Most tellingly, though, the other day I saw some people I hadn't met for ages who told me I looked far healthier (and younger!) and had noticeably more colour in my face. I'm pretty sure it's down to this.
Now here's the other thing. At first I thought the taste was a little... grass-like. However, I made it through the first bag and when I started to drink it with cold water from the fridge that masked the taste and it became quite palatable. Then I tried a bag of the orange version which tastes very nice. But after a week of that I found myself missing and craving the original-taste version so much that I switched back to it. I've since drunk my way through 2 more packs of original-flavour and actually have a bit of the orange left. I really enjoy my morning drink of it now!
Just one minor complaint: the opening of the bag is a bit too tight, so I always wind up with a green hand when I go in to scoop out the powder. Also, would it be possible to make a scoop sized to scoop out a whole serving at once rather than needing to add 3 scoops? It would just make it quicker and easier.
Great product, 5 stars!
I ordered a small bag of the orange one and I have to say I'm glad I did as I have now ordered the larger size as the taste is good.
This is now a key part in my morning routine. Sets you up for the day.

The flavour is honestly banging, you'd expected it to taste a lot worse from the vivid green colour, but it's like a slightly earthy Robinsons. I didn't even add any juice as it suggests.
Definitely going to pick this up again, and recommend you try it!
Once mixed up the taste isnt an issue and mixed very easily in a glass or shaker.
Worth its money, would recommend this as a addition to any training as a boost to the immune system and top up to any diet.
In the end I settled on a warmish morning shake with added coffee which I had gotten used to and even kind of began to like by the end of the bag.
I think this is a great product and an easy way to make sure you are getting in the required nutrients and even some added proven fat burning supplements.
I'll be trying the orange flavour this month and mixing with water solo.
Mixed and my thoughts were still the same, but in the name of nutrition and health...
To my suprise, its rather tasty (slightly chalky) but it is worth it for the simple benefits of nutrients, anti oxidants.
It would be an expensive alternative to multivitamins, however this would be a perfect supplement for any intense training day (in my view, this should an essential on intense training days).

Trying a flavoured one today!
- 1 of 1 people found this review helpful
Yes, it is a very bright green and the flavour is pretty strong on its own but I often mix it with my morning fruity smoothie and in fact it is much softer, easier to get used to than for example spirulina or chlorella that I also sometimes use. Goes amazingly well with fresh pressed apple juice too. Curious to try a flavoured version next though.
The product looks like it would taste bad, especially when it's so green, but it's really not that bad. So far I've tried it with water and pomegranate juice. Prefer the latter as it does go well with the earthy taste of all those nutrients. I've found I do have to keep shaking the mix a bit, but other than that I'm already starting to feel super.

Music Review: Little-known but most rewardingBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | March 06,2013MONTREAL — Music lovers have grown comfortable with the masterpieces described as "war horses" or "chestnuts," but those "greatest hits" amount to a small fraction of great works in the repertoire.
Musica Camerata Montréal is now in its 43rd season of introducing audiences to music they didn't know they loved — yet. Sunday's concert at the Segal Centre introduced outstanding works by little-known composers and a couple of little-known works by well-known composers.
Perhaps the most profound, and certainly the most intriguing, work was written by a Quebec composer. Despite only two movements, the 1942 Piano Quintet by Rodolphe Mathieu (1890-1962) is a large-scale work.
The opening Larghetto, with its mildly discordant harmonic language, is deep, dark and beautiful, and introduces the scherzo-like Allegro, a lighter but no less harmonically challenging journey. It felt almost like Mahler with a French, or French Canadian, accent.
Camerata is led by Artistic Director Luis Grinhauz, assistant concertmaster of the Montreal Symphony, and his wife, Berta Rosenohl, a pianist of great clarity and deep musicality. Grinhauz, who plays with a lush singing sound and deep expressiveness, was matched in this work, indeed in all of Sunday's performances, by fellow members of the Montreal Symphony: violinist Van Armenian, violist Lambert Chen and cellist Sylvain Murray.
The major work was the much more modern-sounding 1953 Piano Quintet in D Major by the Finnish Joonas Kokkonen (1921-1996). Although still tonal, the stark harmonic language and drive give it a cutting-edge feel, save for the dark and lush Adagio. The Camerata players were clearly comfortable with this music — and made their audience comfortable as well.
Much more familiar in style, but seldom performed, was Luigi Boccherini's Piano Quintet in C Major, Opus 57, a most charming and very Classical work by this Mozart contemporary. The string players' rich lyricism was complemented by Rosenohl's virtuosic clarity in this most intimate performance.
Even more intimate was Franz Schubert's one-movement String Trio in B-flat Major, D. 471. Grinhauz, Chen and Murray played with an expressiveness and sensitivity that made their songful performance a joy.
Musica Camerata Montréal consistently delivered expert and musically sensitive performances that revealed the greatness in these unusual works. For its final concert of the 2012-2013 season, May 12, the ensemble will return to "war horses" by J.S. Bach, Mozart and Gabriel Fauré.
Musica Camerata Montréal
Musica Camerata Montréal, for its final concert of the 2012-2013 season, will perform works of J.S. Bach, Mozart and Fauré at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 12, at the Segal Centre, 5170 Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine in Montreal.

Frankie Morello TOYS launch - collection fall winter 10/11
The FRANKIE MORELLO brand has formed a new partnership with Marbell S.r.l. (Molfetta, Bari), signing a licensing agreement for the production and distribution of the Frankie Morello Toys kidswear line.
The licensing agreement will begin with the F/W 2010-2011 collection (in time for the next Pitti Bimbo) and will be followed by a children's formalwear line, which will be launched in S/S 2011.
A girls' line is in the works for F/W 2011-2012.
The design of the Frankie Morello Toys line fully reflects the ironic and innovative signature style of the brand, its focus on exquisite details and workmanship, and a choice of fabrics made from only the finest natural fibers.
The Marbell network will distribute the line in Italy and abroad and gradually expand distribution to include the Italian and European markets, followed by America and Japan.
The selective distribution plan expects to place the line in approximately 200 fine boutiques. Expected turnover for the first season is € 1,200,000.00 aprox.
"While Frankie Morello Toys is a separate line, it remains true to the spirit of the brand," said Maurizio Modica and Pierfrancesco Gigliotti. "Irony, fun, and playfulness -- themes that have always existed in our collections -- are natural for this sort of line. Our partner is mid-sized but full of energy and enthusiasm, which will allow us to freely develop our creative project and preserve the high level of quality, which is fundamental for this type of clothing."
"I am convinced that the Frankie Morello Toys license marks the start of a new development phase for the Marbell Group," said Giuseppe Cariello, Managing Director of Marbell S.r.l. "We are working closely with Frankie Morello, and I'm certain that the collections we will present during Pitti Bimbo will be a first important example of our shared future objectives."

How are local media covering Obama vs. Romney?Written by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
I was raised to believe that anyone could be president of the United States. Certainly in my lifetime, the ascendencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush seemed to bolster that theory.
But with the news that President Barack Obama is nearing $1 billion in campaign funds, with challenger Mitt Romney not far behind, I wonder how true that once-bedrock American belief is. Would either of my two sons ever be in a position to access $1 billion? By the time they will be old enough to run, 30 years from now, $1 billion will seem like a quaint little figure.
Would I ever want either of my sons to be president? To experience the rancor, the lies and the open hatred many of our politicians endure?
Would I want to open a newspaper every day and see attacks, lies and attempts to destroy their characters and neutralize any chance they had at effectiveness?
As the election nears, media bias is an ongoing and legitimate concern. As a working journalist, I pay close attention to how local media cover politics. The inexorable acrimony that divides so many Americans has become an accepted element of the discussion; that is clearly seen in the rise of such media outlets as FOX News and MSNBC. More people seem to gravitate to news sources that present the side they believe in, thus depriving themselves of opposing viewpoints and messages.
How does this division and side-taking translate to local media? To investigate, Toledo Free Press commissioned researcher Mary McCartney to study the LexisNexis database and local media websites (The Blade, Toledo Free Press, 13abc, WTOL/FOX and WNWO NBC) to determine whether our hometown media have taken sides in Obama vs. Romney.
Our research studied the period from June 1, 2012 — the week Romney sewed up the GOP nomination with a Texas primary win — through Oct. 3, 2012, just after the first presidential debate. The focus was on which candidate dominated the reporting of each published or broadcast story — which candidate was discussed in more depth, with more words — than his opponent. Each story was determined to fall into one of three categories: Balanced, Obama or Romney. We focused on campaign-specific stories, discounting news coverage of Obama's presidency if the story did not invoke the campaign. We included opinion columns and analysis pieces alongside news stories, under the belief that total presentation of each candidate was important.
We did not attempt to characterize the tenor of the coverage; judging slant, positive or negative, takes the conversation down a subjective road, far from any empirical analysis. Our study guides you through each media outlet's volume of coverage. It is up to you to determine if that coverage is fair to your chosen candidate.
Television stations
The broadcast media were firmly entrenched in balanced reporting. All three stations relied on Associated Press reports for website pieces of any depth (as defined by word count); local reporting was limited to local candidate visits.
- WNWO NBC presented 34 Balanced stories, 34 Obama stories and 34 Romney stories, a perfect balance for a total of 102 stories. A check of the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) database shows WNWO President/CEO Chris Topf has donated to the National Associaiton of Broadcasters Political Action Committee (PAC), but not to any specific candidate.
- WTOL/FOX Toledo included 11 Balanced stories, 17 Obama stories and 24 Romney stories, leaning GOP in its total of 52 stories. An FEC check shows WTOL General Manager Bob Chirdon has donated to the Liberty Corporation Federal PAC, but not to any specific candidate.
- WTVG 13abc offered 8 Balanced stories, 11 Obama stories and 8 Romney stories, leaning slightly Democratic in its total of 27 stories. FEC records do not show that WTVG General Manager John Christianson has donated to any specific candidate.
Adding it all up, Toledo's TV stations offered 53 balanced stories, 62 Obama stories and 66 Romney stories for a relatively fair total of 181 stories.
Toledo Free Press
Although Toledo Free Press is certainly more conservative-leaning than The Blade, I was surprised to see the results of our study. Toledo Free Press presented 4 Balanced stories, 5 Obama stories and 12 Romney stories for a total of 21 articles. I was surprised because, working with Toledo Free Press Managing Editor Sarah Ottney and News Editor Brigitta Burks, we have striven to cover Obama and Romney appearances equally. Looking at the details, the source of the disparity is clear. Opinion pieces by conservative writers Tim Higgins, Thomas Berry, Gary Rathbun and Dock David Treece tip our content way in Romney's favor. I do not apologize for any of our writers' opinions, but it does help to be aware of the specifics in the gap in our opinion content.
The FEC database shows no donations from Toledo Free Press Publisher Tom Pounds or Toledo Free Press Editor in Chief Michael S. Miller.
The Blade
Given Blade Publisher and Editor-in-Chief John Block's open endorsement of Obama (remember the 2008 Page One Blade photo of Block giddily reaching to embrace then-candidate Obama?), his 2008 donation to Obama for America and his attendance as one of very few guest list media people at the March 14, 2012 State Dinner for U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, combined with his newspaper's stalwart liberal philosophy, it would not be surprising to see Obama dominate The Blade's campaign coverage. And the numbers do show a disparity.
During our study, The Blade reported 56 Balanced stories, 86 Obama stories and 62 Romney stories for a total of 204 articles. The total contains some interesting trends by reporters, presumably covering specific beats. Blade reporter Jim Provance has been credited for 8 Balanced stories, 28 Obama stories and 9 Romney stories; reporter Tom Troy has a byline count of 22 Balanced stories, 25 Obama stories and 36 Romney stories. All other Blade writers had numbers relatively evenly divided between the two candidates.
FEC records do not show any candidate donations by John Block during this election cycle. Block Communications Chairman Allan Block has donated to Romney for President Inc. and the National Republican Congressional Committee. He is also a contributor to Republicans Sen. Rob Portman, Rep. Bob Latta and U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel, and Democrat Rep. Marcy Kaptur.
In tracking WSPD (disclosure: I host a pop culture radio show for WSPD, for no compensation), which features a conservative lineup led by Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and local hosts Brian Wilson and Fred LeFebvre, an interesting trend emerges. Obviously, the station mentions Obama and Romney with a frequency too great to count during the course of four months. FEC records do not list any donations from General Manager Andy Stuart. But WSPD is the only local news source that consistently covers Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. Johnson has been a guest on the station's local shows and his platform has been regularly discussed in-depth on its airwaves.
To contrast, Toledo Free Press has mentioned Johnson once during the study period. Another review of The Blade for the four-plus months examined showed only three mentions of the Libertarian candidate. Two of those mentions were in passing; one article reported on the visit to Toledo by his vice presidential candidate, Jim Gray, and the main theme of the story was the candidate's position on same-sex marriage. A study of local television websites shows a number of Associated Press articles.
Across all media reporting in Toledo, it appears the press tends to slightly lean in favor of the president, with an attempt at balanced reporting across all the organizations. There were 406 stories total: 113 Balanced, 153 Obama and 140 Romney. So while national media may clearly be divided by bias, at least locally, in this study, we can be pleased to have a relatively balanced media.
Unless you're a Gary Johnson fan.

Refinancing a mortgage at a lower interest rate isn't always the right decision. Having bragging rights at the neighborhood picnic isn't a reason for refinancing a mortgage. Instead, it's good to put some thought behind the timing of your decision.
Refinancing a mortgage at a lower interest rate isn't always the right decision. Having bragging rights at the neighborhood picnic isn't a reason for refinancing a mortgage. Instead, it's good to put some thought behind the timing of your decision.
Refinancing a mortgage multiple times can reduce your overall financial benefit. Refinancing junkies who always migrate to the next low mortgage rate pay a hefty price by leaving a trail of closing costs in their wake.
In some cases, refinancing a mortgage makes sense. In other cases, it may be more prudent to stick with your current loan.
Before deciding whether to refinance, you need to determine what you want to accomplish. Remember, refinancing a mortgage doesn't pay off the debt; it just restructures it, often at a lower interest rate and a different loan term than the current mortgage.
Debt consolidation is another goal of refinancing. If you have both a first mortgage and a home equity loan, combining the two mortgages into one fixed-rate mortgage levels out the payment over the loan term.
Ideally, you only want to refinance once on your current mortgage. While no one can tell you with certainty where interest rates are going, Bankrate's weekly Rate Trend Index and Mortgage Analysis will keep your finger on the pulse of where interest rates are headed. You can have them delivered as a weekly e-mail so you don't have to remember to look for the columns.
Many homeowners refinance because they want to get out of (or into) an adjustable-rate mortgage. In high interest rate environments, homeowners are attracted to ARMs because they typically are at a much lower interest rate than a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.
On the other hand, in low interest rate environments, the differential between the fixed-rate and the ARM isn't as great, and homeowners like the security of locking in a fixed rate over the mortgage term.
After clarifying your reasons for refinancing a mortgage, you need to consider whether the timing and circumstances make this the right time to get a new loan.
Usually, you have to plan to be in the house for a while for refinancing to make sense, says Charles Delaney, associate professor of finance, and director of the real estate program at the Hankamer School of Business at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
"You have to look at the savings relative to the cost, and then consider: How long am I going to be in this property?" he says.
According to Bankrate's 2012 closing cost survey, the national average for closing costs on a $200,000 loan was $3,754. The fees in the survey don't include taxes, insurance or prepaid items such as prorated interest or homeowner association dues.
When weighing whether to refinance, homeowners typically are urged to consider how many months of lower payments it will take to recoup the closing costs of the new mortgage.
For example, if your monthly payment goes down by $157, it would take 24 months of lower payments to recoup the average closing costs. Bankrate's refinancing calculator lets you input your costs and the loan terms to calculate the months it will take to recoup your costs.
While this is not a bad rule of thumb, it doesn't really measure your savings. Savings come from a lower interest expense, not lower monthly mortgage payments. Bankrate's refinancing calculator shows the change in total interest expense, too.
You'll see that if you get a lower interest rate but extend the mortgage term, you can wind up spending more in interest. For example, replacing a mortgage that has 20 years remaining with a 30-year mortgage will result in higher interest expense over the life of the new loan.
To figure out whether refinancing with a loan term extension will help you save, do two calculations: one where the new loan has the same term as the old loan, and one where the new loan is the length of your planned refinance. Compare the interest savings to see if refinancing accomplishes your financial goal.
Some people refinance simply to make the monthly mortgage payment more affordable. A lower interest rate and/or a longer loan term both work toward lowering the monthly payment. As long as the homeowners understand they may not be minimizing total interest expense, affordability can be a motivation for extending the loan term.
While short-term savings are important, they are not the only factor to weigh when considering a refinance. Refinancing to get out of an ARM, piggyback mortgage, interest-only mortgage or other onerous mortgage provisions may be reason enough to take on a refinancing.
However, in some cases, homeowners with ARMs would be fine sticking with their loan, especially if they don't plan on being in the loan long term and the reset rate on their mortgage isn't financially threatening.
On the other hand, a little number crunching may indicate that refinancing a mortgage is not right for you at this time.
If you don't plan to be in the house for very long, you should probably stay in your current mortgage. Here, the number of months it takes to recoup closing costs becomes the more important calculation done by the refinancing calculator.
If you owe more on the house than it's currently worth -- you're underwater, in the lingo of the mortgage business -- you might be able to refinance under the Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP. This refi program is for homeowners who are current on their mortgages.
The two major types of refinances are cash-out refinancing and standard "plain vanilla" refinancing, where you are just refinancing the existing mortgage balance.
In a cash-out refinancing, you take out a new mortgage on the same property in which the amount borrowed is greater than the amount of the previous mortgage. The difference is taken out in cash.
A cash-out refinance will typically have a slightly higher interest rate than a plain vanilla refinancing because the lender has more money at risk. Cash-out refinances often are used to pay down debt, but this type of mortgage has both pros and cons.
For example, imagine that you use a cash-out refinance to pay off credit card debt. On the pro side, you're reducing the interest rate on the credit card debt and freeing up lines of credit on your credit cards.
On the con side, you may pay thousands more in interest expense because you're taking 30 years to pay off the balance you transferred from your credit card to your mortgage. You also run the risk of running the balances back up on your credit cards and not being able to make the payments.
However, the biggest risk in this scenario is in converting an unsecured debt into a secured debt. If you can't afford your credit card payments, you get nasty calls from debt collectors, a black mark on your credit report and a lower credit score.
Miss a few mortgage payments and you can lose your home to foreclosure.
On the other hand, a plain vanilla refinancing is intended to replace your existing mortgage with a new one at a lower rate. There's no cash out, unless it's to cover closing costs.
One advantage of a plain-vanilla refinancing is that it usually offers a slightly lower interest rate than a cash-out refinancing. Another major plus of this type of refinancing is that you aren't significantly increasing your outstanding mortgage debt.
That said, cash-out refinancing a mortgage can be more appropriate to accomplishing certain goals, such as paying off debt.
While a refinance can help you harvest more cash, it's important to watch out for costs that eat into those savings.
First, recognize that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and there's no such thing as a "no closing cost" mortgage. The originating lender will get paid for its efforts; it's just a matter of how they get paid. Closing costs can be paid in origination points, a higher interest rate or a higher loan amount.
Points come in two flavors, discount and origination. Discount points allow the borrower to prepay interest expense upfront and buy down the nominal or stated rate on the mortgage loan. The points paid are, however, considered in calculating the annual percentage rate, or APR, on the loan.
Don't forget about other expenses, such as private mortgage insurance. If your loan-to-value ratio is more than 80 percent of the appraised value of the home, the first mortgage lender will want you to pay for PMI. That adds to the cost of the refinancing.
Keep in mind that avoiding junk fees can keep down your closing costs and improve the return when refinancing a mortgage.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Just beachy Cute little bag that looks exactly as pictured, right down to the flowers and pompoms on the purple one I purchased. It isn't big enough to carry your beach towel in, but your wallet, cellphone, sunscreen, and a water bottle would fit just fine. It has long shoulder straps and also little hand straps for alternative carrying options. Cute for the beach or just to hold your essentials while you're cruising around this summer. Very hippie chic. Sequins do not detract from the look and the silver studding is very subtle. Flowers are actually pins and can be moved around or be totally removed, but they're so cute, why would anyone want to do that? My only concern is that the sequins are sewn onto a mesh fabric that serves as the lining, which might snag if you are carrying anything with hard edges or with bristles like a hairbrush. Love it! 5.25.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by valskerie The Perfect Summer Bag! Lately, I've been obsessed with the color orange, so when I saw this cute bag on sale, I had to have it... I love the bright colors, fun pom poms, and the shimmer! I know if can be "worn" two ways, but I much prefer the shimmer under the net. I'm looking forward to toting this cute bag around during the summer months. 6.27.2013

I've used IceTrekkers for 3 winter seasons, hiking with my dogs most nights and weekends, and they work very well in almost all conditions. The one condition I've slipped in is fresh deep snow over ice, which prevented the carbide beads from getting down to the ice underneath. I don't believe any other traction device out there would have worked in those conditions either. My son's ROTC unit used these to complete a 50 mile team run last Veteran's Day over icy roads without a slip. They were amazed, considering the conditions.
- Durable
- Easy to put on
- Great traction
- Lightweight
Best Uses
- Trail walking
- Walking on icy surfaces
I received these Diamond Grips right before Christmas, we followed their sizing guide, and purchased the next size up; they fit perfectly. They were easy to put on, and to take off as well.
We took our dog for a walk on icy/snowy roads, and they were very durable. I was scared I would slip on the slushy ground, but never did!
I hung them in my garage to dry and used them the next morning with ease. Very dependable, very durable, an amazing product!
I immediately bought them for my grandparents for Christmas shortly after our walk.
All in all.. AMAZING!!
- Great Love them
- Hard Putting On At First
Best Uses
Hard to put on so keeping on extra shoes and take shoes on and off. Much easier
The suggested sizes are totally off! I had to return the product for an exchange (which meant added cost to me). NOT a pleased customer which is unusual for things bought at Gardener's Supply.
We have a very long steep driveway so it can be a treacherous walk in the winter. We feel very confident and safe while we're wearing these trekkers.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the sixth busiest airport in the world and third busiest in the United States in terms of commercial passenger volume, offering 692 daily flights to 85 domestic cities and 928 weekly nonstop flights to 67 cities in 34 countries on 64 passenger air carriers. In 2013, it served nearly 66.7 million passengers and handled 614,917 aircraft operations (takeoffs and landings).
LAX is the major international cargo airport serving Southern California – the world's 16th largest economy. It ranks 14th in the world and fifth in the U.S. in air cargo tonnage processed, and in 2013 processed more than 1.9 million tons of air cargo valued at more than $91.6 billion.
More than half of the air cargo arrives and departs in the holds of passenger aircraft, allowing airlines serving LAX to offer some of the lowest airfares available to travelers. In addition to air cargo transported in passenger aircraft, another 14 dedicated-cargo airlines operate at LAX.
China remained LAX's largest trading partner in 2013 with two-way trade valued at nearly $20.9 billion, followed by Japan at nearly $7.6 billion, India at more than $7 billion, and Germany at more than $4.6 billion.
Diverse CargoThe products exported and imported through LAX are as varied as the number of airlines and nations served. Shippers find the most broadly based selection of airlines of any U.S. airport. Every major international air carrier serving the Asia-Pacific Region calls at Los Angeles, while European, Middle Eastern, and Latin American air carriers also fully serve LAX.
Japan was LAX's largest export partner with trade in 2013 valued at more than $4.6 billion, followed by China with nearly $4.3 billion; India with more than $3.4 billion, Hong Kong with more than $3.1 billion, and Germany with more than $2.4 billion. Top export commodities through LAX were civilian aircraft, engines, and parts; unmounted diamonds; computer chips; cellular, landline phones and parts; and computers.
China was LAX's largest import partner with trade in 2013 valued at nearly $16.7 billion, followed by India with nearly $3.6 billion, Japan with nearly $3 billion, Thailand with nearly $2.3 billion, and Germany with nearly $2.2 billion. Top import commodities through LAX were computers; unmounted diamonds; cellular, land-line phones, and parts; computer chips; and imports of returned exports.
Extensive Airfield Cargo NetworkThe ever-growing number of air carriers and their worldwide service area has created an extensive air- cargo-handling network at LAX. The airport has more than 2.1 million square-feet of space developed for cargo on 194 acres.
Four million square feet are developed for cargo use in the immediate vicinity of the airport. United Airlines has an 180,000-squarefoot cargo building; Virgin Atlantic Airways and Asiana Airlines have a cargo building with 122,000-square-feet of space; and Qantas Airways has a 54,000-square-foot air cargo facility.
Mercury Air Cargo opened its first facility in March 1998, and followed in April 2009 with the opening of a 12,700-square-foot refrigeration facility, the largest of its kind among all U.S. West Coast airports. Singapore Airlines opened a new air cargo building in 1999.
Modern facilities – convenient for shippers, forwarders and airlines alike – are available in the Imperial Cargo Complex, the site of extensive development by domestic and international carriers. Major tenants include Lufthansa, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, Federal Express, China Airlines, Delta, Air Canada, and Cargo Services Center (a provider to several air carriers). A modern U.S. Customs headquarters serves the growing trade.
Improvements and enhancements by tenants and Los Angeles World Airports have been continually made at Century Cargo Complex, LAX's first air-cargo area. American, United, Virgin Atlantic, and Asiana house their freight operations at the Century Boulevard location. Alaska Airlines, British Airways, Southwest Airlines, and US Airways are located there as well
Southern California – Nation's Top International Trade CenterLos Angeles International Airport is a key transportation center for one of the world's most dynamic economies. The greater Los Angeles region's international trade is valued at nearly $414.8 billion with LAX alone responsible for more than $91.6 in exports and imports. Greater Los Angeles accounts for nearly half of the economy of California and a majority of the state's multi-billion dollars in international trade.
Many of the largest industrial companies headquartered in the state are located in the greater Los Angeles area. The area is a leading high-technology center for the nation in the entertainment, electronics, biomedical, computers, and aerospace industries.
The convenience and efficiency of LAX as a major distribution center for cargo is supported by the ready availability of vital allied services, especially for Pacific Rim traders:
