Toledo, OH -- In less than a week since the President declared Lucas County a major disaster area, more than 1,313 applications have been taken to assist storm and flood disaster victims, state and federal officials announced today. People who have been affected are encouraged to call 800-462-9029 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week to apply for federal and state disaster assistance programs. The number for hearing and speech impaired is TTY 800-462-7585. Multi-lingual operators are available to take your calls.
Disaster officials reminded residents that even if they had previously called the city, county or local voluntary agencies to report their damage or seek assistance during the flooding, now that a Presidential declaration has been issued, flood victims must call the toll-free FEMA application number to be eligible for federal and state assistance programs.
"That one phone call is your application for a wide variety of federal and state disaster assistance," Lou Botta, FEMA's Federal Coordinating Officer said. "The call is free, convenient, confidential, and usually only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete."
The U. S. Small Business Administration issued the first low-interest disaster loans, totaling more than $129,000, to seven local homeowners this morning in a ceremony at Government Center. Disaster officials pointed out that these totals would continue to rise daily as more applications are processed.
"Flood victims may be eligible for a wide variety of federal and state assistance programs," Dale Shipley, Ohio EMA's State Coordinating Officer said. "These can include a combination of grants, low-interest loans, and various forms of disaster assistance from other state and federal agencies. Applicants may also be referred to local voluntary agencies to address immediate unmet needs."
Disaster Housing grants, which do not have to be repaid, may be available to individuals and families whose permanent homes were damaged or destroyed by the storms and flooding. These grants may cover temporary rental assistance, emergency repairs needed to make a residence habitable or reimbursement for repairs that have already been completed, and mortgage or rental assistance in cases where the disaster has caused extreme economic hardship.
Emergency repairs may include such items as repair or replacement of damaged furnace, hot water heater, and electrical junction box, basement clean up and debris removal, and minor structural repairs to replace windows or doors and make the home habitable. Funds are also available for mitigation measures to minimize the effects of future disasters.
For major damage or personal property loss, a low-interest loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) may be available. "Don't let the name fool you," Botta explained. "In disaster, homeowners and renters can receive disaster loans from the SBA, as well as business owners, to cover uninsured or under-insured losses."
If you receive an SBA loan application you should complete and return the packet as soon as possible. SBA officials pointed out that completing the application does not obligate you to take a disaster loan, but if the packet is not returned it may delay other forms of disaster assistance. SBA low-interest disaster loans are currently below four percent.
Business owners are only eligible for loans. These are designed to repair or replace destroyed or damaged business facilities, inventory, machinery, equipment, etc., not covered by insurance. The loans are a...

Perfect but....
I love this rug! Its soft, has held up well But it arrived with a crease and it has yet to go awy. Also it was heavy! It took two strong men to carry it up the stairs. There was no way one man could handle it alone.Read More

Jim and Kathy P - Safavieh Area Rug
We order 2 area carpers of different sizes to accent our living and dining rooms. Carpets are beautiful... a very thick and lush shag. We looked at a number of 'retail' stores for the right carpet and could not find any. My wife found these item on Overstock.com and we are incredibly pleased with our purchase. The rugs arrived on time and in perfect condition.Read More
5 star !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very good soft and awesome !I have it or a year and still looks great as new !!!!!!!Read More
This rug is a lovely mix of grays. It is very dense due to the numerous threads. While some shag rugs have visible spaces between the piles this rug does not. It is soft and very well made. This would have been at least 50-75 dollars more if purchased in a store rather than Overstock. I have been looking for an area rug for months and this fits the bill and is nice on my pocketbook!Read More

Absolutely Gorgeous!
I read review after review on numerous rugs. I was nervous, as it seemed there were an equal amount of reviews that were negative and positive. After a month, I finally jumped in and placed my order. I ordered the 9.6"x13" and its exactly what I received. I ordered on a Friday and received it the following Wednesday!! The best way to describe this rug is luxurious and classy. It is super soft, so far does not shed, has no odor whatsoever, and the pile is perfect (about 1.5 inches) and the pile is so thick that you cannot see through to the padding. The padding is woven with tightly weaved thread and does not flake off. Also when you fold the rug, you cannot see through to the padding which is a tell tale sign of a well made rug! The color is exactly as pictured on my screen (my resolution anyways). The rug came folded, so there are a few noticeable fold marks after I laid it out in my space, but none of them major and I expect the fold marks to work themselves out over the next few weeks. I am so happy I finally placed my order! Don't hesitate and order now!Read More
Perfection in Charcoal Gray...
I am over the moon ticked pink with this rug, and the price didn't cause me heartburn.. I recently painted my family room in a taupe, but it is a grayish brown color, not a warm beige, Found some new furniture; couch in a cream/ivory color and chair and a half in a gray, they actually call the color gun metal. Looked for weeks for a gray rug that would work, Grays are difficult for me to work with, but I ordered this in a 3x5 as a test. When it arrived I couldn't believe my eyes it was one of the most beautiful shades of charcoal gray that I had ever seen. I took the rug to the furniture store to lay beside the fabric I selected for the furniture. The designer/sales thought it was more beautiful than what they had to offer. Some of their rugs were over $****.**. When they asked me where I got it, I was so proud to tell them Overstock.com, and they were flabbergasted! I'll use this smaller rug in the bathroom and I just ordered the 9'6" x 13 for the family room. Nice and squishy and soft on your feet. It does need a rug pad. I ordered a felt pad for extra cushion. So if you are looking for a gray rug that leans toward cool colors this is the one for you. If you are looking for a gray that is a warmer/brown tone. This is Not the rug to get.Read More
soft, true to color, great texture...
This carpet arrived less than 5 days after I ordered it! super soft and comfy (my kids were rolling around in it when I placed it on the floor). I order the largest size (9.5x 13) so it came folded in several places. The folds are still visible but I am hoping they will subside. No odors (as mentioned for other rugs I saw), and the color and texture were great. definetly recommend this carpet.Read More
Great Value
High quality rug for a great value. Very fast shipping. But Beware!!! I would give it 5 stars but I'm only giving it 3 because the color is not accurate!!!! you are taking a huge risk buying online. I purchased the 11x15 and its not gray.......its blue. I'm so disappointed. (sick) This rug wont work in my living room and clashes with my sofas. A rug this size is too expensive to return, so I'm stuck with it. If you are looking for a blue rug with a gray tint, this is the perfect rug for you. Its a shame my dogs love it more than me. :(Read More
I am very pleased with this rug. I agree with some of the reviewers that the color has a very subtle blue undertone that's noticeable in some light conditions. Even so, I would not describe the rug as being any other color but grey. I bought a plush pad for it, which I definitely recommend for added comfort.Read More
Questions & Answers
Samples are not available, we are sorry.
Is the tone of the gray a warm gray (more reddish/orange) or a cool gray (more blue)?
I would say it is more cool gray with blueish undertones. We have it in a boys room with brown carpet underneath. They love the softness of it! Very pleased with this purchase. We also bought one in pink for the girls room. Nice rug!
I find it a cool gray in the evening and a little blue gray in bright light.
I would say blue but like steel. Beautiful and very plush when paired with a good pad.
It is a cool gray tone. Blues with maybe a touch of purple hue depending on the room and lighting. I would best describe it as charcoal gray with some lighter grays scattered throughout. I love it in my living room and everyone so far has said how great it looks and feels. Very plush!
in my mind a true grey which has neither blue or red tones.
I love this rug also. It is so plush and feels so good to walk on. As far as the color goes it's a darker gray, more of a charcoal color. Sue
It is gray and it is beautiful. It's in dark gray with lighter throughout! I love them but I'm moving and had to sell mine, now I need to buy more but bigger :) You will not be disappointed, I didn't see any blue tones?
its a cool graycool gray
Could I use this rug in my bathroom?
It's not really a bathroom rug. This rug is a thick shag rug and you wouldn't be able to wash it when needed.
Can this rug be washed in the washing machine?
I wouldn't. It is very thick.
I just received this rug 2 weeks ago. The tag on the bottom says Professional rug cleaning recommended, and to vacuum it regularly. I would not put it into the washing machine. I think the fibers would come out or get ruined. It is a nice soft rug
Thanks Thayne and Colleen!
Definitely not. It's like a regular carpet and won't bend. Sorry!
With the backing being firm, I would say no.
Can rug be vacuumed?
Yes, this rug van be vacuumed.
Hi. I just received this rug 2 weeks ago and to answer your question just looked at the tag on the bottom. It says professional rug cleaning recommended and to vacuum regularly. I would not put it into the washing machine. I am afraid the fibers would come loose or get ruined. It is a nice, soft rug.
I just ordered this rug . I am planning on putting it on top of my carpeting. Do I still need a pad for that or should it be alright and not damage the carpeting.
anytime i have place a rug over carpet i have used a pad. i do not know what the back of this rug is but most will snag/snarl carpet under it. a pad would be a good investment. good luck :)
I have this rug and it is over my hardwood floors without a pad. There is no issue with it and would not feel the need to put a pad over a rug either.
I purchased three of these and have them on both carpeting and hardwood, neither needed padding. There is a very nice backing on these; I just love these carpets!
This rug has a pretty substantial backing and if you're putting it over another carpet then aped isn't needed (in my opinion). We don't have a pad and it's pretty comfy laying directly on the floor. We have radiant heat as well. So far, so good.
How much does rug weight.
I put it over a carpet in my last house with no issues.
Hello, I am seeing mixed reviews about the colour of this rug. some people are saying it is silver/light grey others are saying it is a dark grey. I am looking for a dark/charcoal grey. in some of the pictures it looks dark. Just wanted to clarify what the true colour is. I understand each rug there are some variations but is it more of a dark/charcoal grey or a light color. thanks!
I have it and love it. Looks dark grey to me.
The one I received is dark gray. It is beautiful and extremely soft.
It is dark grey with some light highlights to it. I would never call it light grey, though!
Hello s, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
Hello. It is a charcoal gray.
I'd love to submit and image with my Review so everybody can see the rug in person. Is this possible?
Hello Christina C., we do apologize, we do not currently offer these feature. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
I would definitely say this rug is a dark charcoal gray. It is really quite beautiful. It is very soft and cozy, and I would definitely recommended it. Hope this helps!
My daughter loves this carpet. It's very plush with the pad under it. The color is dark grey with specks of light grey in it. We like to lay on it, which smashes the fibers over. It is then more of a light grey. Fluff them back up and the dark grey returns. This must be why there is a discrepancy on the color. We love it!
Is the "sheen" look metallic? I have a bling chandelier over my kitchen table and think this might be the rug to tie it in. Also, how easy are returns on large items?
I have to say that I was really pleased with how Overstock handled my return. They simply told me to roll it up as best as I can tape it around tightly with either plastic garbage bags or if I have the original packing to use that. I have an 8x10 so BIG. The cost will be $ 29.75 to send it back UPS. The only hassle will of course be getting it back into my car and getting it to the store. If I had a guy it would be a piece of cake. I think the UPS charge is a small price to pay for shipping back such a huge thing. I should add that I am returning my rug because it said it was grey and it is really Griege. I am also looking for a shag grey now instead.
Hello bethY h., while I wouldn't consider the sheen to be "metallic" I would say it can give off that representation because it is shades of light grey. Items must be returned in new or unused condition and contain all original materials included with the shipment. Our standard return policy can be found here: (https://help.overstock.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1). Thanks for shopping with us!
Will the rug backing damage wood floors if a pad is not used?
The backing on rugs is usually jute. It acts just like sand paper when you walk on the rug. If you don't put a pad down (even a cheap one) you will definitely regret.
I have owned my area rug for 4 years...Has anyone had trouble vacuuming theirs? My rug has been cleaned professionally and the carpet cleaners have to rake it back to their plant the pile is so thick...Any help regarding this? Stephani
Hello steptyler, some shag rugs are cleaned by flipping over the rug to vacuum the backing and flipping it again right side up to vacuum the floor where the rug used to be. I hope this helps. Have a great day!
Me too! My Dyson chokes on these shag rugs. Can't push it but I can pull it across. will try the flipping over. The safavieh rugs are really well made and stand up to heavy daily traffic, my dog plants himself right in the middle & soaks up the sun rays
What's the recommended cleaning procedure for these rugs?
Hello Brandon, thank you for shopping with us. Here is our guide for rug care. Have a great day. http://www.overstock.com/guides/how-to-clean-your-area-rugs

Why does this rug smell like gasoline and leave an oily residue on our feet?
Hello mendocinomommy, please contact Overstock Customer Care at 1-800-The-BIG-O (843-2446) regarding any possible defective products. Thanks for shopping with us!
I'm getting confuse; what size is the first photo? and is this the square one?
Hello stefhanie, this lovely rug is featured in a variety of sizes. In my opinion, the first photo does display the rug approximately 6 feet 7 inches square. Thank you for shopping with us.
Is this a Safavieh "Milan" or "Athens" or another? I have the "Athens 8 x 10" in from another retailer and would like the 2 x 9 that you all have here but it doesn't indicate which model/ option that the 2 x 9 is. It only says "Safavieh".
Hello miraclealexis, this lovely rug is not provided with a model name that we are aware of. The manufacturer site provides the model number for the 2x9 as SG151-8484-29. I hope this helps and thank you for shopping with us.
Can anyone recommend what rug pad to purchase with the 8'6" x 12' rug?
Hello BJS, I attached the link below to some that might work. Please let us know if you have any further questions. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Rug-Pads/9_'-x-12_',/rug-size,/1285/subcat.html?sort=Recommended
does this rug have a blue undertone like some of the reviews state? It is confusing because some say color perfect and others state has a blueish tone but they are older reviews.
Hello kbobo, we try to represent the colors of our products accurately. Unfortunately, due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen. There is not a blue undertone. Thank you for shopping with us.

my LBS is amazing the first time I walked in they were really nice and didn't try to sell me anything till I asked and now they're still always giving me advice never trying to sell me anything in fact they once told me I would be better buying my tri clip on bars used cuz it would be cheaper . but that also might be cuz my family has bought 5bikes from them and a crap load of gear
/end rant
Good luck finding a decent LBS. We don't have much to choose from locally but everytime I need assistance wrenching or a question about my own DYI wrenching they are more than helpful. Odds' n ends' such as nuts, washers, spacers... they got my back always. I can't always pay their prices, but I do purchase some supplements, lubes, and tubes often.
Rules violation, specifically: Rule #8: Saddles, bars, and tires shall be carefully matched.
Valid options are:
- Match the saddle to the bars and the tires to black; or
- Match the bars to the color of the frame at the top of the head tube and the
saddle to the color of the frame at the top of the seat tube and the tires to
the color where they come closest to the frame; or
- Match the saddle and the bars to the frame decals; or
- Black, black, black
Suggest you go with the lime green bar tape and lime green Fizik saddle to complete the look.

|Trinity Lutheran School's Summer Program Grows Service Garden
|News Releases - Civic News & Info
|Written by Bill Meyer
|Monday, 26 July 2010 08:09
A combined effort from students, faculty, staff, parents, and Trinity Lutheran Church volunteers are making the concept and a dream of a service garden into a reality at Trinity Lutheran School this summer. Students from Trinity Lutheran School's Shining Stars summer care program are discovering how plants grow from seeds and small plants to large, vegetable-producing plants. They are part of the process of maintaining a healthy garden, and the students are now reaping the fruits of their labor.
This outdoor classroom has provided a great life-long learning opportunity for the Shining Stars students. The students have learned how to prepare the soil for planting, experienced planting a variety of vegetables, tended the garden by weeding and watering, and are now starting to harvest and enjoy eating the various produce. They are also learning how to prepare produce for use in cooking and baking.
The plants have come from a few key sources: the radish, carrot and sunflower plants came from Jill Schmitzer's preschool classroom at TLS. She taught her students how to plant seeds and they watched them grow in the classroom. Several of the other plants were ordered from Trinity Lutheran School's annual plant sale fundraiser. Approximately 50 tomato plants and 25 green pepper plants were planted, along with hot peppers, cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, cauliflower, zucchini, a variety of herbs, and more. Matt Wilshusen, an agronomist and a parent volunteer, donated a great deal of his time and knowledge for this 30' x 70' garden.
"This service garden is a start for us; our larger vision is to truly have a community garden to serve the community around our school and church. This has given the students a great learning laboratory to visualize how food grows and to taste the end results," said Bill Meyer, Principal of Trinity Lutheran School. Even this year, the community will benefit from this new project. Extra produce will be donated to community organizations and food pantries.
The Shining Stars summer care program, led by Kathy Schneiderman, a TLS preschool teacher and preschool coordinator, and Karla Heuertz, Shining Stars program director, was established this summer to provide quality child care and education for children who have completed 4-year-old preschool – 5th grade in a Christ-centered environment.
Trinity Lutheran School offers quality Christian education for preschoolers – 8th grade, dedicated teachers, extra-curricular activities, including sports, music, and art, and an after-school and summer child care program in a Christian environment. For more information about Trinity Lutheran School, please call 563-322-5224, stop by the school office at 1122 West Central Park Ave., Davenport, or go to www.TrinityDavenport.org/school.

The best New Year's Eve shows in the Twin Cities
Photo by Tony Nelson
Braving the murderous Twin Cities climate on New Year's Eve takes commitment, a strong jaw and the phone number for a reliable cab company. But look on the bright side -- with no major apocalypses planned for the end of this year, you can at least be confident we'll all survive long enough to tell our NYE stories on Wednesday. Might as well make plans you'll enjoy this time around, and Gimme Noise has a roundup of the best music-focused events to ring in that Auld Lang Syne.
First Avenue Mainroom:
First Avenue's New Year's Eve Danceteria Featuring Get Cryphy
with DJ FooLProoF + MC CLOUD (Forever Young),Roy Freedom and DJ Smitty
8 p.m., $5 advance / $20 door, 18+
Promising to be one of the most thoroughly "turnt" events in the 'cities this New Year's, First Avenue's annual party will once again partner with Hip-Hop DJ collective Get Cryphy. Now as well known for their manic, uptempo quick-mixing style as they are for their serious cutting abilities, Get Cryphy is one of the venue's signature dance nights, and their NYE shows are always a spectacle to behold. Joined this year by 90's-Experts Forever Young and Ian Rans of Drinking With Ian, plus any number of surprise guests, the Danceteria is always a safe bet.
The Record Room:
Too Much Love and WAK LYF present Y2KML
featuring Sovietpanda, Slamdunkapher, Buju Fanta and Jim Frick
8 p.m., $5.00 advance before Dec 25/ $10.00 advance on and after Dec 25 / $20.00 doors, 18+
Upstairs, First Ave mainstay Soviet Panda will be joining forces with buzzworthy, genre-bending DJ's Wak Lyf for a slightly different focus. Too Much Love has cornered the market on House in the Twin Cities for long enough to be a household name, but the addition of the arty upstarts in Wak Lfy, whose Kitty Cat Klub shows have been drawing national press attention, promises to buck the formula.
7th Street Entry:
Cream Sleeve Presents New Year's with Night Moves
with Pony Bwoy, Carroll, and Fatty Acids
8 p.m., $10 advance / $12 door, 18+
But let's say you want to spend your NYE at First Ave but desire something a little more... sultry. Night Moves and Pony Bwoy will satisfy those urges and so much more, baby. Trying out their new "Cream Sleeve" moniker, the swoon-worthy 'Moves will pair their countrypolitan-flecked indie with the avant-R&B of Pony Bwoy, which features rapper/wildman Spyder Baybie of the Clerb. More conventional indie fellas Carroll and Fatty Acids open.
Turf Club:
NYE Cover Band Show
Featuring sets of music by David Bowie, The Doors, and Blue Oyster Cult
with DJ Mark McGee
9 p.m., $10.00, 21+
Traditional cover bands can be as un-hip as dad jeans -- exceptions to this rule, you know who you are -- but you still will want to head east to the Turf Club. Featuring members of a diverse pool of groups including Seawhores, STNNNG, Moonstone, Gospel Gossip, Robust Worlds, Vampire Hands, the Chambermaids, and Voytek performing classic chestnuts from the catalog of Bowie, the Doors and BOC, the Turf is your ticket to get tanked and sing along.
Triple Rock:
Bloodnstuff, Buildings, Red Daughters, and Speed's the Name
9 p.m., $8 advance / $10 Door, 18+
There's no real evidence that this is an actual New Year's show, so if you're the kind of person that likes to grumble humbugs about the holidays, you might have just found plans. The night will host four strong local rock groups, ranging from heavy post-hardcore (Bloodnstuff & Buildings) to groovier territory (Red Daughters), plus good taps and an unbeatable punk atmosphere. What else could you possibly need?
2013 New Year's Eve with Solid Gold (Full Band)
with Year of the Horse and DJ's
5 p.m. dinner / 10 p.m. music, $20 and up, 21+
Icehouse has quickly become Eat Street's classiest club, with a regular selection of tastefully curated shows and a menu full of classy cocktails and chic bar food. Their New Year's show will play to that clientele, with varying packages depending on your investment. $100 gets you the full-monte, including a 5 course Prix Fixe dinner with wine pairings from World Class Wines before Solid Gold takes over with music at 10 p.m., or you can opt for cheaper options for music or dinner only.
The Cedar Cultural Center:
Lizz Winstead in LIZZ 2013: The Windbag Beneath My Wings
Musical Guest Sam Breckenridge
$40 / $65 VIP, 7:00pm, AA
Bringing back her popular "year in review" routine, Daily Show-minted comedian Lizz Winstead will bring the yuks over on the West Bank for one of New Years' few all-ages events this year. Musical Guest Sam Breckenridge will perform a few tunes as well, but the real focus is on the hilarious, insightful multi-media sketches crafted by Winstead. If you can pony up for the VIP, expect a meet-and-greet, champagne and other goodies.
International Market Square:
Crystal Ball 10th Anniversary w/Har Mar Superstar
8 p.m., $40 and up, 21+
While it's not normally a place that screams "party", the Internatonal Market Square building just southwest of downtown Minneapolis will be the site of this year's Crystal Ball, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. If you've got money to burn, this is definitely your event, as the building's spectacular architechture means 5 floors of dancing and a staggering 250 bars. Bottle service? Naturally. Shuttles to and From the venue? You bet! VIP Cabanas? Play on playa! Just remember to dress up, as the event is a "Class Act Environment," which means no scrubs allowed. DJ's Include Strangelove, Fresko, DJ Indy, Kurt Schultz, Chris Castle, Julius Romero, Lindsay "Sheik" Earney.
Varsity Theater:
89.3 The Current Presents:Dawes-NYE 2013
w/Field Report
8 p.m., $75 GA / $125 VIP, 18+
89.3 The Current is hosting this event at the Varsity Theater, so you've probably heard mention of some fun giveaways and DJ appearances on their publicly-funded broadcast. The musical guest for the evening is none other than the Twin Cities' favorite L.A. alt-country band Dawes, and the Shakespearean digs of the Varsity Theater always make for a unique atmosphere. As usual, there's a champagne toast, and the VIP ticket gets you a chance to meet Taylor Goldsmith and company.
Hell's Kitchen:
Transmission in Berlin: Jake Rudh and Shannon Blowtorch
10 p.m., $10, 21+
Jake Rudh's immensely popular, 80's-themed Transmission dance party changes venues for New Year's and also adds DJ Shannon Blowtorch's considerable talents to the bill. Hell's Kitchen's great food, darkly classy atmosphere and multiple bars should make for an excellent place to witness Rudh and Blowtorch's selections. Just don't take the Ralph Steadman pieces on the wall as an inspiration to go all Gonzo on the room or you might get 86'd faster than Hunter S. Thompson after a huff of ether.
Kitty Cat Klub:
Hipshaker/Hotpants New Year's Eve
9 p.m., $10, 21+
The Hotpants and Hipshaker DJ crews specialize in dusty soul grooves and funky rare vinyl, and they're pooling their collective powers of rump-moving at the Kitty Cat this NYE. The usual Hipshaker suspects will be aided by Benjamin Mena of Hotpants and Dan MacAllister of KFAI's Kind of Cloudy and Worldwide Discotheque for a solid evening of vintage R&B, Afrobeat, Latin and more.
Other NYE Events:
NYE with Phillip Morris, Black Diet and Rapper Hooks
9 p.m., $5, 21+
331 Club:
NYE with The Drug Budget
10 p.m., Free, 21+
Wants Vs. Needs New Years
DJ Espada, DJ Booka B, DJ Petey Wheatstraw and DJ Anton
9:30 p.m., Free, 21+

Nice review, but the thing is all those cx type headphones aren't really iems, they fit on the outer part of the ear more like a regular bud, with the silicon wedged for the seal. Thats why they are made so shallow, you aren't supposed to jam them in deep. Generally you should use a larger silicon piece that you think because it isn't supposed to go inside that far.

Feeling that Fall Chill? It's Spring and Green in New ZealandWritten by Linda Kelly
The chill in the air here on the East Coast is a sharp reminder that winter is on its way. If the thought of cold makes you cringe, consider turning your thoughts to the Southern Hemisphere. While we're settling into autumn, New Zealand is blossoming into spring and Queenstown Heritage Tours Ltd has just the ticket for you. Not only does Queenstown Heritage Tours specialize in sightseeing tours into Skippers Canyon and the Wakatipu Basin, they also come highly, and environmentally, recommended. Queenstown Heritage Tours has been recognized again as one of the New Zealand's leading tourism businesses by Qualmark - New Zealand Tourism's official quality assurance system. To earn the prestigious quality mark, Queenstown Heritage underwent a comprehensive on-site assessment to ensure it met general quality criteria focused on service, fleet in use, safety and business management systems in place. "We presented to our Qualmark assessor a comprehensive fleet management sheet which was developed in-house in order to prove an acceptable industry standard for our fleet," said Yasmine Sander Ickenroth, owner of Queenstown Heritage Tours Ltd. "This new fleet management sheet forms not only the basis for our Qualmark assessment but further more enables us to monitor our carbon footprint. Our commitment to the Queenstown community, the co-operation with the Department of Conservation as well as our partnership with Carbonfund.org made it clear to our assessor that we truly deserve to be recognized as one of the country's leading tourism businesses," Sander Ickenroth said. We're also pleased to share that Queenstown Heritage Tours Ltd. annually offsets its operational carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org and is committed to be part of the global movement of businesses and organizations that are leading the fight against global warming. Queenstown Heritage Tours Ltd. is committed to monitoring its energy consumption, fuel usage and kilometres travelled by its customers as well as the kilometres travelled by its employees to and from work. Those activities are a part of its environmental impact management initiative. "Like last year, we calculated our carbon footprint with an online calculator and offset the 35 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions that could not be omitted during the past 12 months," explains Sander Ickenroth. By offsetting their non-avoidable operational emissions, Queenstown Heritage Tours Ltd. supports Carbonfund.org's third-party validated reforestation projects. "It was very important for us to work with an organization that supports certified projects that are internationally recognized and comply with set standards," Sander Ickenroth said. "We also sought an organization that offered verification by independent auditors. Carbonfund.org met these criteria." So, escape to spring this fall, and book your Skippers Canyon adventure with Queenstown Heritage Tours.

They also said the Easter bunny evolved as a symbol of new life in springtime representative of Christ's resurrection. Who knew? First St. Nicholas and now the Easter Bunny are Christians. ;-)
I've got to say, I kind of love what this thread turned into. Thanks ladies!
I know I'm late to the party but this is really offensive: "I will add that I find it interesting that Christianity seems to be the one "religion" that ignites hate and judgement from the masses. "
Until you've lived as a Christian who lived in a Muslim country, who had priests stoned and had to celebrate underground in a "church" that was transformed every hour to a different religion so everyone could have their time... on a Friday because we were in schools/work Sunday... with fear as a child of being found out.... then you can talk to me about feeling judged/hated for your faith.
I really don't think typical people have any clue what's outside the walls of 'Merica. Sad.
I believe this conversation was specifically with regard to being Christian in America. I think it's a fair comparison to be Christian in a Muslim country as it would be to be Muslim in America.
Please know that not all Christians are out judging everyone and other Christians. Those people who are doing that are not following the Bible at all. we are not supposed to be making judgements as we are in no position to be doing so.
OP,have you read what Jesus said about the Pharisees? Please read up on that and get back to us.
Kristin-Wife to C for 19 years. Mom to K,C,C,K,C,C and K. Never forgetting P and C. Building our family through birth,fostering and adoption.
People just can't wait to throw their two cents in this conversation. HERE IS MINE!!! (BTW, no offense to anyone but I'm pretty educated in this field of History and Religion, it's what I studied in college and still do to this day.)
Mankind has been at war for many thousands of years in one way or another. Before there was Christianity or many other religions.... territories would take over another man's territory and convert them to their belief system. (IE Look at the Greeks and Romans!) In order to this many would adopt the old beliefs of the over taken into the new ruler ship. This is why for centuries more than we can count traditions of our beliefs are so connected and similar. Nobody is wrong and nobody is right either.
Gods, Goddesses, and Monotheistic God-s have existed beyond years of our imaginations. When the Europeans came to America and found the Native Americans, seeing their beliefs... and then trying to convert them to the word of god.... there was an adoption of some of those Native American traditions into the Quakers or Puritans way of life and beliefs.
So whatever you celebrate during the spring equinox... Ostra, Easter, Higan... or other March Equinox celebrations... (April too.) There are adaptations everywhere. So love your traditions and stop bickering over who is right and wrong.
Now to address another issue..... I don't entirely agree that there is more prejudice against Christianity in the USA than other religions. Christianity is the majority in the USA but the smaller sects of religious beliefs are speaking out because I think people are tired of being told they are damned and going to hell. I know I am.
I come from a place where Pat Robertson lives, televises from, and where his university is.... I think people are tired of face personas like him and Jerry Farwell (although he has passed on), Would tell the world that events like 9-11 happened because of the homosexuals, the pagans, the adultery, etc. It is because of these extremists that people speak out about Christianity.
It is also the extremists of other religions are why Christians or other groups will speak out about another.
So with all that being said. Let's stop pointing fingers and just rejoice life, happiness, and our traditions we share with our families and stop pointing the fingers.
I shall now get off my soap box. Thank You for Reading!

Wow - what a lovely thread, I never knew that as an (agnostic) atheist I am less trustworthy than a rapists ... now I am off to eat some pagan based easter bunny chocolate.
Married to my best friend and love since 2006 and Xavier joined us in April 2010.
I will add that I find it interesting that Christianity seems to be the one "religion" that ignites hate and judgement from the masses.
People are open minded and even accepting of Jews, Mormons, Buddist, the list goes on.
Hold on a second, here. Are you trying to say that the Jews don't ignite hate and judgement from the masses? There are about four million dead Jews that would beg to differ. And Mormons don't get judged? How about Muslims? Muslims don't ignite judgement from the masses? Not even here in America?
I think sometimes people lose sight of the fact that the opinions expressed on the BHB aren't representative of reality.

The situation is a familiar one. An Owner of a completed construction project notifies the Architect and/or General Contractor of alleged construction deficiencies at a Project. Review by the Architect reveals that the alleged deficiencies, if true, relate to the work of its sub-consultants (or in the case of a General Contractor his subcontractors). The… Continue Reading

FUCKING AWESOME! I'll admit, I had no idea that was Roy until I read your comments section, but everyone else was easy to identify!

What a difference four years make.
Manteca High School's softball field does not have any connection at all with the former Pennebaker Apartments in Manteca.
It is what one would call a whispering campaign.
How much are you willing to pay - and sacrifice convenience - to save the Postal Service?
I arrived at the accident scene in Sheridan in 1973 just as emergency responders did.

Let's say you've been in Mexico illegally for 24 years.
Very few cities, if any, have a presence in retail stores to the degree Manteca enjoys.
The surprise correspondence came by snail mail addressed to me here at the Manteca Bulletin. There was no name on the return address on the upper left-hand corner of the envelope. But in the back, right on the flap of the legal-size mailing envelope was a familiar address. Ah, Loretta! I whispered to myself, and happy that my longtime friend is keeping in touch my mail.
The tears running down Christina Aguilera's cheek meant one of two things for Lindsey Pavao.

in response to binkyjoeI'm having the exact same thing happen.
Seems it doesn't matter if you've installed the update or not (I haven't because I use Hotapp and the update will kill it).
Any ideas would be appreciated.
binkyjoe Jul 7, 2008 8:35 AM
in response to Jeff HoogmoedI had a thought that it might happen more when my RAM was committed elsewhere; but now that I've got 2GB—and you've got 4—I'm pretty sure it isn't that.
My only other thought of a possible software conflict would be TextExpander (no reason other than speculation)... are you running that?
binkyjoe Jul 9, 2008 3:15 PM
in response to binkyjoeWell, it's a bit drastic, but it got fixed for me.
My Finder started crashing and restarting every ten seconds or so... couldn't find a fix, and had to go through a complete Erase & Install.
No more double letters, though, knock on wood. If they ever come back, I'll let you know what I installed to make it happen again.

Rock Climbing Photos : Comments
Comments by vegastradguy (264)
aint that part of the climb a b*tch? you're supposed to climb the face to the left of the chimney, but its 5.7R, so many (like myself) stick to the chimney. when my second came up it, the party behind her passed over her head, dragging their ropes over her, giving her considerable trouble following the pitch.
looks bomber for a downward pull. it looks like it might pop out with little upward pull. if it is constricted in front of the nut, that certainly helps. like mac, i would have probably chosen one size smaller to really sink it into that bottleneck. however, as long as a decent sling is on it (and it looks like there is), it should be fine.
dred- see the crack right above the climbers? it arches up and right and hits the roof about 40' from the right edge. from there, a horizontal traverse right takes you to the mandatory 5.7 free move and belay (the little splotch of color directly right of the edge of the roof). all that said, thats a really great shot of the roof...really the only one i've seen that really shows how big it is!
lol, it was 4 of us (2 parties of two) and we were all rappelling together. each person had two points of contact- one on each bolt. full hanging belays, so we were each weighting our contact points fully- no confusion on who was who, although this particular anchor was turned out so crowded, we just had to take a picture!
biff- its not 10", its 10x the diameter of the bolt- those look fine at a glance, although the two right most bolts could be a bit further apart. i wouldnt call the two silver bolts new, though- if they are new....well, someone needs a lesson on modern bolting methods. before rapping on it, though, i'd definitely check the cords condition where it runs through the center bolt- and if i had a quicklink on me, i'd re-tie the cord- i'm shocked no one has done that yet- seems like a simple thing to do that would both extend the life of the cord and make the whole thing safer. other than the lack of a quicklink on the center bolt- i'd rap on it. i'd even belay off it, but i'd feel better if i had a stance to go with that anchor!
josh- slightly smaller than a C4- the cam angle is 13.75 (same as friends). feeling them, they feel like smaller versions than the corresponding C4 (i.e., the gold is slightly smaller than a #2 BD- and probably wouldnt cover wide hands as well, instead it'd be more like tight hands to perfect hands).

guppy vs molly
i witnessed my guppy mating with my baloon molly yesterday!! would anythin come of this? is it possible for them to interbreed?
hi lioness mollies and platys are the same family along with swords wich can all interbreed. but guppies are part of a different family but can breed with female endlers and vice versa. so theres no chance of a weird looking fish happening there :D lol hope that helps also hope your pleco is ok
thanks roger! glad i wont get any weird hybrid species lol
what would it look like i wounder :BIGhmm:
extremely bizarre!!!
is the fish in any health risk if high breed or is it just wierd looking because i think its pretty cool
Re: health
I despise hybrids so much although I would agree to that if the circulation of hybrids around the hobby is regulated or controlled. A lot of hybrids are rather deformed making it more difficult for them to eat, swim, etc. One example are blood parrots wherein most of them cannot even close their mouths.:blink: :shake:
