Recipe Description:
Although Thai chefs are often judged solely by their Pad Thai skills, this national dish is more culturally eclectic than you might think. The name, meaning 'Thai-style stir fry', probably comes from Chinese expats, who combined their techniques of noodle making and wok cooking with sweet-sour, pungent Thai flavours like lime and tamarind. Thailand's wartime dictator, facing a rice shortage, then nationalised the dish, sending the recipe to Thais so that they could open up noodle shops and street carts. Noodle fever soon gripped the nation— no surprise, since this quick, tasty dish is easy to prepare, yet enticingly difficult to perfect.

text: Parsons Develops Innovative Tool by Devin Elmore April 20, 2015 Innovation is a core value at Parsons. We emphasize it throughout our business. We empower our talented staff and invest in their most promising ideas. We don't always get it right and we are constantly working to improve our processes and help innovation flourish. We leveraged one recent idea to satisfy an internal requirement at a significant cost savings, while also generating a capability we will be able to leverage for future work, providing a platform for further innovation. Parsons is a full-scope cyber security and defensive cyber operations (DCO) solutions provider. Our talented staff run the gamut from designing and engineering custom systems and applications to integrating and supporting industry-standard products for our customers. We turned to these experts on our staff when we, like all contractors supporting the Department of Defense (DoD), had to take steps to ensure we are fully compliant with the minimum National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) controls required by the DoD's cybersecurity regulations for safeguarding unclassified "controlled technical information" (CTI). Our team ultimately recommended we invest in developing a custom Network Security Monitoring (NSM) platform based on a variety of powerful open source capabilities and our experience implementing these solutions for our customers. We entertained a variety of off-the-shelf products and came to the conclusion that building our own in this case was a better value for us. Cyber security is a core part of our business. Our engineers and analysts are deeply involved in the development and engineering of capabilities in this domain for our customers. We accepted their recommendation, made the investment, and ParNSM (Parsons NSM) was born. ParNSM is a powerful, flexible, and highly customizable platform that meets a large number of the NIST controls referenced above. We have been using it on our own networks for more than a year now and have had great success. We implemented the required controls and saved more than 75% of the off-the-shelf price we would have paid for a comparable product/support package. This savings will become even more profound as we expand its use across our networks, especially in small office locations. Additionally, we now have a powerful platform for offering additional services to our customers and supporting further internal research and development. Subscribe via RSS Share:

In a bid to take advantage of India's growing developer community, Apple opened the doors to an App Accelerator in Bangalore today. True to its name, it'll serve as a place to speed up app development with weekly training, guidance and one-on-one app reviews. Apple opened similar accelerators in Naples and Brazil, but those were more focused on courting students as new developers. While the new Indian location will also try to win over students, it's more interested in honing the country's ready strong developer community, Apple marketing head Phil Schiller told NDTV.
Apple invests in Indian developers with a new app accelerator
Sponsored Links
"I think what we hope from this accelerator is that we can help the local market create apps for customers in India that better meet the needs of our growing customer base here," Schiller said. "We also think we can help developers here at the accelerator to make apps that reach further around the world, because there's an entire world that wants their software too, and having that opportunity is something that's of benefit to them and now people here can help them learn more about that and take better advantage of it."
Apple CEO Tim Cook first announced the accelerator last May, so it's a bit surprising it took almost a year to make it a reality. The company is likely keeping its eye closely on India as a growth market following slowing sales in China. The accelerator won't do much to combat Android's foothold in India, but it could be a way for Apple to court developers who are looking to branch out from Google's ecosystem.

In light of the recent changes to the tax law, some readers may have estate plans in place that were created at a time when the exemptions were significantly lower and which not only may no longer be beneficial but which actually may be detrimental to their heirs. As a result, it is possible that some readers may benefit from unwinding previously created structures under certain circumstances.
As you may recall from our recent Wealth Advisory newsletter, the new tax law increases both the federal estate and gift tax exemptions to $11.2 million per person while continuing to permit assets owned at death to receive a step up in basis to their date of death values. Given that these exemption amounts are far more generous than they ever were, it is possible that clients who previously made lifetime gifts to minimize the estate tax bite may, under the current transfer tax regime, no longer have taxable estates (even assuming that the transferred assets were to be includible in their estates) and thus would greatly benefit from an income tax perspective by undoing their planning and having the assets includible in their estates.
EXAMPLE 1: Let's assume that married clients have a present net worth of $5 million after husband funded a trust several years earlier with cash of $1 million. Let's further assume that the trust invested the cash in securities which have appreciated in value to $3 million. When husband dies the trust would pass to their heirs estate tax free. However, the trust assets would still have the $1 million basis in the securities and thus a $2 million capital gain would be lurking upon the sale of the assets which would translate into more than $400,000 of capital gains tax. However, if the trust had a mechanism for unwinding the transfer (i.e., wife is a beneficiary and could receive a distribution within the discretion of the trustees of all of the trust assets), their estates would still pass estate tax free due to the increased exemption and those assets would receive a stepped-up basis at death eliminating the capital gains tax.
In addition to the need to reconsider one's prior lifetime planning, many surviving spouses may also find it extremely valuable to revisit the planning that was done under their deceased spouse's Will.
EXAMPLE 2: Let's assume that husband died when the federal estate tax exemption was $2 million and his Will provided that his exemption amount was to pass to a credit shelter trust for the benefit of his wife and issue. Let's further assume that the trust assets have increased in value to $5 million and wife has $5 million of other assets. Similar to the results in Example 1, there should be no federal estate tax payable if wife dies when the exemption is over $11 million, and thus all of her assets and the credit shelter trust assets should pass to their heirs transfer tax free. However, as was the case with Example 1, there is significant appreciation in the credit shelter trust assets that will not receive a step up in basis when wife dies unless the trust assets are somehow includible in wife's estate and thus wife might very well be advised to unwind the credit shelter trust and hold the appreciated assets until death to ensure that the capital gains inherent in these assets disappears.
While the examples above do not factor in such things as the applicable state estate tax, the sunset provisions in the Act that make the exemptions revert to their 2017 levels beginning in 2026, and other benefits that trusts provide (including creditor protection), they make clear that clients with estates below the exemption amounts who have done prior planning or who are beneficiaries of trusts created for their benefit should carefully review their planning to determine whether it might be advisable to make any changes.

Discover the Rhône Valley along the river by cycling on the ViaRhôna. With your family and friends, make your way into Provence from Vienne to Avignon, across ever-changing landscapes and colourful provençal villages.
Come cycling with your family and friends on the ViaRhôna, a new cycling route along the Rhône River, whose ambitious aim is to connect Lake Geneva with the Mediterranean! From the ancient city of Vienne to Avignon, the Papal city, our itinerary reveals the Rhône River's secrets as it makes its way through different civilisations, a link between Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. Follow the banks of the most powerful French river as you cycle into the ever-changing landscapes of Provence; from sunny vineyards and gentle hills, through orchards, nature reserves, lavender fields and olive trees, beside châteaux, palaces, cathedrals and charming villages. Taste the products this incredibly diverse region has to offer: fruit, ValRhona chocolate, chestnuts from Ardèche, nougat de Montélimar, Provence's olives, Tricastin's truffles, and of course the world-famous Rhône Valley Grands Cru wines. Accessible to all, this tour associates gastronomy, heritage and nature, and invites you to enjoy biking safely on French roads, meeting some passionate local characters along the way.
• Vienne and Orange, ancient Gallo-Roman cities
• World-famous Rhône Valley Grands Cru wines: Côte-Rôtie, Crozes-Hermitage, Châteauneuf-du-Pape…
• Typical Provençal villages: Rochemaure, Cruas, Viviers, la Garde-Adhémar, Suze-la-Rousse…
• Arrive in Avignon, Papal city and UNESCO world heritage site
• Comfortable accommodation in 2/3* hotels and guest houses (mostly with swimming pools)
• Daily luggage transfer
• A safe itinerary mainly along greenways

Day 2 : Vienne / Andancette (45 km / 28 miles)
This first stage offers a huge variety of landscapes. Shortly after leaving Vienne, Ile du Beurre nature reserve appears with all its animal and plant species. You might be lucky enough to glimpse the European beaver, saved by reintroduction programs implemented at the start of the 20th century. Along the right bank of the Rhône River, enjoy stunning views of terraced vineyards, hanging onto the foothills of the Massif Central, including the prestigious Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu and Saint Joseph vines. The ViaRhôna then winds its way onto Ile de la Platière, one of the most remarkable natural sites of the middle Rhône Valley, between the Vieux Rhône and the canal. Remember to make a slight detour to the charming village of Andance. Dinner and overnight accommodation in a beautiful guest house along the ViaRhôna: gardens, pool and themed rooms.
Day 3 : Andancette / Tournon-sur-Rhône (26 km / 16 miles)
This second stage leads you into Ardèche, where the Rhône River irrigates farm lands and the landscape changes from terraced vineyards to fruit orchards. Half-way through, the Défilé de Saint-Vallier offers an unforgettable view over the Rhône Valley. This short stage leaves you plenty of time to visit Tournon-sur-Rhône and its surroundings.
On both sides of the river, the twin cities of Tournon-sur-Rhône and Tain-l'Hermitage are connected by a picturesque footbridge, replica of the first suspension bridge built over the Rhône River in 1825. Wander around the narrow streets of Tournon, overhung by its medieval château, before crossing the Rhône River for a sensory experience at Valrhona's Cité du Chocolat. After this gourmet visit, you will know all the secrets of making chocolate!
Climb the famous Hermitage Hill, where, upon returning from a crusade, the knight Gaspard de Sterimberg, settled in 1224 and planted the first vines. Today, it is the heart of the Northern Côtes du Rhône historic vineyard, home to five famous Grands Cru wines (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint Joseph, Cornas and Saint Péray) and Syrah's birthplace, a grape variety that is now grown throughout the world. You are free to make your own arrangements for dinner. Overnight accommodation in a 3-star hotel in Tournon-sur-Rhône.
Optional Activity :
•Ardèche train: Train des Gorges: set out aboard a steam train to discover the most picturesque part of the Doux Gorges between Tournon and Colombier-le-Vieux (classified as Historic Monument).
Duration: 1h15 return. Price: €18 /person.
Day 4 : Tournon sur Rhône / Valence / Saint-Laurent-du-Pape (52 km / 32 miles)
Leaving Tournon and its surroundings, you take off again towards Glun and Valence alongside a roaring river. With its colourful markets, gardens and welcoming pedestrian streets, Valence marks the beginning of Provence. In the summertime, jousting tournaments organized on the river revive the fraternal spirit that united the old bargemen, testifying to the strong ties between men and the Rhône River.
Take a break in Jouvet Park or in the Epervière Marina before keeping on towards Soyons, Charmes-sur-Rhône and Beauchastel, beautiful and traditional Ardèche villages.
Dinner and overnight accommodation in a guest house (with pool) in Saint-Laurent-du-Pape (4 km / 2 miles from the ViaRhôna) in the Eyrieux Valley.
Optional Activity:
Alternative route on the Dolce Via: a day among unaltered landscapes and vast natural areas in the Eyrieux Valley. Bike along the Dolce Via, a former railway line converted into a cycling route. Take the Ardèche steam train (Le Mastrou) to Lamastre (leaving from Tournon-St-Jean at 10am – arriving at Lamastre at 11.40am) and cycle down to St-Laurent-du-Pape (65km / 40 miles). Caution: hybrid bikes essential; the cycle track has a gravel covering not suitable for road bikes. Train fare: €21 /person.
Day 5 : Saint-Laurent-du-Pape / Viviers / Bourg-Saint-Andéol (70 km / 43 miles)
Your trip mingles with a heritage trail, with a striking contrast between the medieval village of Cruas and the industrial heritage of its cement factories. Opposite the medieval town of Rochemaure, the Himalayan footbridge passes over the Vieux-Rhône, giving access to a magnificent green way zigzagging onto an island in the middle of the Rhône River, with the bypass channel on one side and the wild river on the other. Before you know it, you will come across Viviers, at the Southern end of the island. This Gallo-Roman town, an episcopal city since the 5th century, has an exceptional architectural heritage. Passing by the Défilé de Donzère, the ViaRhôna meanders on through the alluvial forest of the Rhône River towards Ile des Dames. Dinner and overnight accommodation (pool and spa, 2 km / 1 mile from the ViaRhôna) in a guest house run by a dedicated winemaker, who produces quality organic wine on his family domain. Option to do a wine tasting on the Domain (Côtes du Vivarais, Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages).
Optional Activities :
•Extra day in Bourg-Saint-Andéol to enjoy the treasures of the surroundings: visit the picturesque village of St Montan or the gorges of Ardèche (Pont d'Arc cavern, a replica of the Chauvet cave; canoeing), cycle the Ardéchoises roads or simply spend the day relaxing by the pool or in the spa at the guest house.
•Extra night in Bourg-St-Andéol : please see the "OPTIONS" paragraph at the bottom of the page.
•Electric bikes available to rent per day or half-day. Please contact us for prices.
Day 6 : Bourg-St-Andéol / Cairanne (53 km / 33 miles, +450 m / 1 476 ft vertical drop)
In Bourg-Saint-Andéol, the route leaves the ViaRhôna, crossing the Rhône River to Pierrelatte. As you begin cycling along the winding country roads of Vaucluse, there is no doubt about it: you are now in Provence. With its unique light, colours, intense fragrances, olive trees and lavender fields; the nearby Mont Ventoux and the stone villages clinging to the hillsides; the iconic Provence reveals itself all year, each season bringing something new and different to the atmosphere. The charming villages of La Garde Adhémar, Clansayes, Suze-la-Rousse and Sainte Cécile-les-Vignes dot our itinerary, as we climb slightly steeper hills offering us the most amazing views. Don't miss out on visiting an organic lavender farm making essential oil in Clansayes (July and August only). Dinner and overnight accommodation in a beautiful guest house in Cairanne (pool).
Day 7 : Cairanne / Châteauneuf-du-Pape / Avignon (60 km / 37 miles, +250 m / 820 ft vertical drop)
Deep in the heart of the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape region, our journey takes you through this generous land. Surrounded by renowned vineyards, ravishing Provençal villages, medieval remains, shady squares and picturesque markets, make your way up gentle hills to properly enjoy those magical landscapes. Feel free to take a break in the beautiful village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape: visit some famous cellars and experience a traditional French wine tasting (1 white + 2 reds). Your trip continues via Orange, city of princes and home to a number of major Roman constructions, classified UNESCO world heritage. Visit the antique theatre, famous for its stage wall, the only one of its kind in the western world. From Roman Provence, your journey ends in Papal Provence, illuminated by the unique light of Avignon, capital of Christianity in the 14th century. You are free to make your own arrangements for dinner. Overnight accommodation in Avignon in a 3-star hotel in the city centre, or in the surrounding area during the summer festival (i.e. the first three weeks of July).

Free time to visit Avignon, the Papal City. Option to take a return trip to Vienne by train, to get your car transferred from Vienne to Avignon, or to spend an extra night in Avignon.
The ViaRhôna
Connecting the Swiss Alps to the Mediterranean Sea, the ViaRhôna invites you to cycle down the Rhône Valley, discovering its natural landscapes, unique heritage, remarkable sites and gastronomy. The full itinerary is still being developed, but 557 km (346 miles) have been completed in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, 114 km (71 miles) in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and 146 km (91 miles) in Midi-Pyrénées-Languedoc-Roussillon.
The ViaRhôna and the Route du Rhône in Switzerland have been recognised as a major European itinerary, called EuroVelo 17. Further information on www.viarhona.com
TrIp Grading
Introductory to moderate (Day 6).
Discovery overcomes physical effort. Stages (50 km / 31 miles on average) can be accomplished within half a day, so you will have plenty of time left for tourism and breaks whenever you feel like it.
Distance to go: 26 to 70 km (16 to 43 miles a day), 305 km (190 miles) in total.
Vertical drop is negligible during the first four stages (days 2, 3, 4 & 5), quite strong on day 6 (+450 m / 1 476 ft) and slight on day 7 (+250 m / 820 ft). If you are not accustomed to practising a physical activity, we advise you to take an electric bike at least for Day 6, which is a little bit more challenging.

If you have ever just wanted to dive into American Literature with your children and study the great works of some of our nations greatest writers, than the Poetry and Short Stories: American Literature Set from Memoria Press is a great choice.
We recently received a copy of this set to review. I'm not going to lie, at first glance it was a bit overwhelming for me. I was immediately drawn back to my AP literature days in high school and I wasn't sure if I was up for the challenge with my own children. Because I have been working on poetry with Olivia my 5th grader, I had intended to do this curriculum with her, thinking that this would be a really great way to introduce her to some great authors and "less fluffy" poetry.
This curriculum is designed for 7th-12th graders and while she is as smart as a whip, the readings were too much for her. So she listened along as I switched gears and worked on this with my oldest who is in 9th.
First thoughts:
If I was looking for a rigorous high school literature curriculum that would cover all the bases with literature, vocabulary, comprehension questions, and writing- I would feel really good about this set.
Memorial Press is a classical program. While we don't necessarily follow a classical curriculum- I agree with the methodology and appreciate the standards they follow in each of the materials that they produce.
Poetry and Short Stories -American Literature 19th-20th Centuries
A quick glance at the Table of Contents is all you need to see to know that you will be studying the works of some of the greatest American authors of all time. Reading through The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe and Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a reminder for me, that I have forgotten how meaningful great works of literature can be.
The Poetry and Short Stories set includes Poetry & Short Stories: American Literature (19th – 20th Centuries), the Student Guide, and the Teacher Guide.
What we thought:
As I already shared, the materials can appear a little overwhelming. There is a lot of reading {It is a literature study afterall.} There is also a lot of vocabulary to be defined. And because of this we moved more slowly through the lesson than I had planned. I felt that the comprehension questions were appropriate and not too overwhelming, although there are a lot of them,but they help guide understanding of the text.
The curriculum has a "Central One Idea" focus that it guides students to use in order to understand the text and what the author's purpose was in writing it. I think that this is a fantastic way to incorporate deeper understanding. The beginning of both the student text and teacher's guide gives an explanation as to how students are to arrive at determining the Central One Idea of each of the anthologies.
We only made it through two stories at the pace we kept, but we learned a lot, and I say "we" because I'm pretty confident that I learned as much as my daughter did.
As a co-op director I am thinking that this would make a fantastic high school literature class, that would be allow for some really great discussions among students.

The art of Alexander Nikolaev vividly reflects the recent history of conceptual art of Uzbekistan - brief yet self - sufficient in terms of its genesis and evolution . Isolated from European influences, even more so from exposure to modernity in the late 20th century, Soviet Central Asia experienced momentous transformations where artists began to express these shifts through their aesthetics.
The reckless 90s saw the formative years of a group of young artists who began their expressions around the same as Nikolaev. These artists were neither social activists, nor non - conformists but when faced with great political and social transformations they felt compelled to challenge, to question, to contest through their art. Such artists especially attempted to articulate a critical discourse on the then institutionally accepted parameters of what was considered as art.
Once artists such as Nikolaev broke away from traditional artistic representations, he moved towards the freedom offered by conceptual tactics. He progressed by dropping the "framework" of a picture finding it too restrictive, preferring installations, utilizing objects, and appropriating ready - mades. "Modulor" objects were painted structures representing the stages of human evolution and alluding to the constructivist experience of Le Corbusier, from whom Nikolaev borrowed them.
The years between 1999 and 2005 were crucial: the artist explored various artistic strategies. In 2004 Nikolaev showed his first video artworks that highlighted the conflict between urbanism and the fragile world of nature through environmental disasters ("The Aral Sea", "Fishes"), and spiritual impoverishment in the faceless quarters of a ferro - concrete city ("Elevator", "Shaman"). Illustrating such tensions, he displayed his ease in dealing with uncomfortable to contestative issues cleaving Central Asia.
Over time as his practice matured, Nikolaev turned to develop expression of his personal experience as a reflection of challenges posed by the time. His video "I wanna Go to Hollywood", the sublimated aspirations of the entire generation, launched Nikolaev to the international art scene.
Eighteen embroidered textile collages of this kind make up a complex pseudo-ethnographic cumulative societal 'portrait', in which one 'type' lines up against another in an intricate interplay between traditional customs and modernity. Nikolaev intersperses more 'recognisable' types – watermelon sellers, women selling roosters at a bird market, Uzbek plov and kebab chefs, women carrying basins full of baked wedding gifts – with images of business deals, large scale construction, individual consumption in the form of images of ecstatic owners of new cars, and greater communication with the outside world. The typology self-professedly looks backwards and forwards, forming an image of a modern-day Uzbekistan made of tradition and change that refuse to be pulled apart from one another.
Uzbekistan – especially Tashkent, its capital – has undergone tremendous change after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and its emergence as an independent nation in 1991. Industrial activity has given way to trade, with factories slowing down or shutting down altogether. Meanwhile, the city's commercial activity is growing, with space for selling increasing by five to ten times. Nikolaev's newspaper-wielding, suited businessmen and businesswomen who make deals via the telephone and sign contracts depict some of the upwardly mobile individuals making the most of the current economic conditions. These are the 'new Uzbeks' starting banks, hotels, business centers, supermarkets and shops, health resorts, swimming pools and tennis courts, and visibly changing the feel of the cityscape. Nikolaev's builders appear twice in the embroideries, laying the foundations of this new Tashkent, which ethnographer Marfua Tokhtakhodzhaeva describes as having the distinctive 'emphasis on monumental scale in architecture'. Even the watermelon seller and the rooster seller, while seemingly embodying more stereotypical images of Uzbekistan, are in fact likewise partaking in the newfound opportunities for smallscale economic activity.
Nikolaev's imagery, however, refuses to forego a reality that is as contemporary as the economic and social transformations that take place: that of a persistence and – at times – even an active revival of customs local to Uzbenkistan under 'national rebirth'. Women hurry along to a wedding with gifts, national foods such as plov and patir pastries are proudly offered up to the viewer. As Tokhtakhodzhaeva notes, the divide between tradition and modernity is near impossible to locate geographically; municipal parks immediately outside the city centre have become grazing land, the suburbs of contain thousands of migrants who have moved to the city from the country, and over a thousand new mosques are visible across the cityscape after years of state atheism. As these featured have themselves become embedded in the texture of the city as part of Uzbekistan's modernity, so do Nikolaev's 'types' proclaim the complexity of difference present in 21st century Uzbekistan, both locally-rooted and globally-facing.
It is this diverse and subtle miniature universe that Nikolaev builds up in brightly coloured satin, sequins and glitter. The gaudy, glossy fabrics, brightly coloured thread and glittering sequins all promise a sweet and sentimental world of a laboriously produced souvenir, which Nikolaev undermines with his distinctively modern and quotidian choice of subjects. Promising sweet, comfortable, timeless elements in the embroideries – small-scale, harmless, dolllike gently padded fabric characters dressed in ikat textiles for which Uzbekistan is known internationally – Nikolaev delivers a tongue-in-cheek challenge to conventional 'timeless' stereotypes of a country about which there is a relative dearth of knowledge internationally. These clichés are, as art critic Oksana Shatalova described, to do with 'the Orient [being] known [as] spiritual, traditional, unhurried, incomprehensible, and mysterious'.5 Clothing his figures in the visual language of a certain deliberate naïveté, Nikolaev punctures the very qualities the aesthetics of the souvenirlike embroideries, at first glance, appear to bolster.

At Aria Chairs, we'll make getting your order dead simple.
Here's how it works. If you have any other questions, please see our Shipping & Returns page for more details.
Location-Based Additional Freight Costs
In rare cases, shipping may cost more than the price you see and pay on our website. Why does this happen? What are your options if it does? See below for answers.
Freight companies sometimes incur additional costs, because it costs them more to ship to some addresses than others.
The reasons vary, but are most often due to remote locations, country roads, high freight tax jurisdictions, residential addresses, etc. When they incur this cost, they pass it on to us.
We won't know if your address is subject to this additional cost until our team starts coordinating your order, after you've paid for it. If you've been in contact with us before placing your order, we may be able to catch it ahead of time.
Our website assumes that your address is not subject to these additional freight costs, and roughly 95% of the time, that assumption is correct. So, shipping rates listed on our website, and paid at the time of purchase, do not include these additional costs.
For the 5% or so that are affected, there are a couple of options.
1. Ship to another address. Most often, the additional cost is because the address is difficult to pull a very large truck into - often a building that is, or was previously a residence. In this case, they will have to offload your item(s) and load them onto a smaller truck, causing the expense.
Most of our customers who fall into this category have another, more accessible commercial address. You can simply ship to the alternate address and avoid the cost altogether.
2. Pay the additional $150. Nobody likes unexpected costs. We understand that. If we could warn you ahead of time, we really would.
Thank you for understanding.
By ordering with us, you agree to these terms.
Free Shipping
The following applies to all orders that claim free shipping promotions.
Our free shipping policy applies only to addresses that are not subject to location-based additional freight costs. Please see above for a description.
To provide free shipping promotions, we have budgeted an amount that works for 95% of our customers. We would not be able to offer these promotions if we budgeted the amount necessary to ship to all addresses.
We try to do right by our customers, and we hope you'll understand if you are in the 5% that is subject to a location-based freight fee.
So, if there is a location-based additional cost to deliver your item, there are two options, as stated above. Please see above for descriptions, but in summary, they are:
1. Ship to another address.
2. Pay the additional cost ($150).
We appreciate you and your business.
By ordering with us, you agree to these terms.
When will my order be delivered?
Orders are usually shipped from the warehouse within 1-3 business days. Products that are made to order, including all pedicure chairs, can take longer and we will give you an updated timeframe once production has started.
Depending on your location, you can expect your order to be delivered within 3-8 business days after it leaves the warehouse.
What happens when I order?
When you place your order, you will receive an instant order confirmation. When we receive your order, we will send the information to our fulfillment team for shipment.
Will I get a tracking number?
Of course! We'll send you tracking information as soon as your order is on the truck. The carrier will have an estimated time of arrival for you.
Our standard delivery service will bring the chair to your curbside or front door. The chairs can be very heavy, so please make sure you have some help to bring it inside.
Can you send my pedicure chair or salon furniture to my house?
We can, but we try to avoid it. Freight deliveries to residential addresses are often delayed for days or weeks and costs significantly more.
Can I return a product?
Often yes, sometimes no. Your order is subject to the manufacturer's return policy.
Of course, if the product is defective or broken, our products always ship with insurance for damages, and your product is subject to the manufacturer's warranty for defects.
We will help you file a warranty claim with the manufacturer if necessary, and will need some documentation of the issue.
You must notify us within 24 hours if there are shipping damages, and we will help coordinate your insurance claim.
Made to order (or custom) items are not returnable (including all pedicure chairs).
Please see our Shipping & Returns page for details.

A PROBE has been launched amid claims thousands of Rangers shirts have been damaged by saboteurs.
Several Gers supporters have taken to social media after their new Castore gear was allegedly sabotaged.
There are claims as many as 2000 packages have been damaged whilst en route with Hermes to fans of the Light Blues this week.

In a post on social media, members of the influential Gers podcast Heart and Hand wrote: "Hermes say reports of 2000 - TWO THOUSAND - packages were damaged.
"Products will now be going out in unbranded bags."
However, the UK's second largest delivery company claimed they were unaware of such a figure but vowed to launch an investigation.

Imagine being that triggered by the site of an opposing club's badge?
Kits were sent out with Rangers and Castore branding but it is understood this policy is currently being reconsidered.
A Hermes spokeswoman said: "We are currently investigating this but so far we have not found anything to substantiate these claims.

The Glasgow Times has also approached Rangers and Castore for comment.
Castore sold out their initial 50,000 stock of home kits within 48 hours of the pre-sale going live on July 1.
The Glasgow giants signed a five-year deal with Liverpool-based sports brand Castore earlier this summer.

An Overview of IPv6 Transition/Co-existence Technologies Fernando Gont UTN/FRH LACNOG 2010 Sao Paulo, Brazil, October 19-22, 2010
IPv6 transition/co-existence technologies IPv6 is not backwards-compatible with IPv4 Original transition plan: deploy IPv6 before we ran out of IPv4 addresses, and eventually turn off IPv4 when no longer needed – it didn't happen Current transition/co-existence plan: based on a toolbox: dual-stack tunnels translation
Dual stack
Dual-stack Each node supports both IPv4 and IPv6 Domain names include both A and AAAA (Quad A) records IPv4 or IPv6 are used as needed Dual-stack was the original transitionco-existence plan, and still is the recommended strategy for servers
Use the existing IPv4 Internet to transport IPv6 packets from/to IPv6 islands Tunnels can be: configured: some sort of manual configuration is needed automatic: the tunnel end-points are derived from the IPv6 addresses Configured tunnels: 6in4 Tunnel broker Automatic tunnels: ISATAP 6to4 6rd Teredo
6in4 The tunnel endpoints must be manually configured Management can be tedious Security may be used as needed (e.g., IPsec) May operate across NATs (e.g. IPsec UDP encapsulation, or if the DMZ function is employed)
Tunnel broker The Tunnel Broker is model to aid the dynamic establishment of tunnels (i.e., relieve the administrator from manual configuration) The TB is used to manage the creation, modification or deletion of a tunnel Example: "Tunnel Broker with the Tunnel Setup Protocol (TSP)
ISATAP Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel and Addressing Protocol Aims at enabling IPv6 deployment withing a site with no IPv6 infrastructure Does not work across NATs |0 1|1 3|3 6| |0 5|6 1|2 3| +----------------+----------------+--------------------------------+ |000000ug00000000|0101111011111110| IPv4 address | +----------------+----------------+--------------------------------+ Address format
6to4 Aims at enabling IPv6 deployment within a site with no global IPv6 connectivity Does not work across NATs (unless the DMZ function is used) | 16 | 32 | 16 | 64 bits | +--------+-----------+--------+--------------------------------+ | 2002 | V4ADDR | Subnet | Interface ID | +--------+-----------+--------+--------------------------------+ Address format
Problems with 6to4 Lots of poorly-managed 6to4 relays have been deployed In most cases they introduce PMTUD black-holes (e.g. as a result of ICMPv6 rate-limiting) Lack of control of which 6to4 relays are used make troubleshooting difficult Use of the 6to4 anycast address makes it difficult to identify a poorly-managed relay in the 6to4 -> native IPv6 direction It is always difficult to troubleshoot problems in the native IPv6 -> 6to4 direction (the user has no control over which relay is used)
6rd (IPv6 rapid deployment) Aims at enabling IPv6 deployment in a site with no IPv6 infrastructure Builds upon 6to4 – but the whole system is implemented within a site No special prefix – uses global unicast range | n bits | o bits | m bits | 128-n-o-m bits | +---------------+--------------+-----------+------------------------+ | 6rd prefix | IPv4 address | subnet ID | interface ID | +---------------+--------------+-----------+------------------------+ | | Address format
Teredo Aims at providing IPv6 connectivity to individual hosts behind one or more NATs -- "last resort" mechanism for IPv6 connectivity Suffers some of the same problems as 6to4 | 32 | 32 | 16 | 16 | 32 | +-------------+-------------+-------+------+-------------+ | Teredo Pref | Server IPv4 | Flags | Port | Client IPv4 | +-------------+-------------+-------+------+-------------+ Address format
All of the previous transition/co-existence technologies require assignment of both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses – what if there are no IPv4 addresses left? A number of technologies are curerntly being developed in the IETF such that: IPv4 addresses can be dynamically shared by a large number of hosts, or, IPv6-only nodes can still access IPv4-only nodes Among these technlogies are: CGN (Carrier-Grade NAT) NAT 64 A+P The future doesn't look like very NAT-free…..

EVs shift into second gear
Sales of electric vehicles are surging and global manufacturers are confident it is just the beginning.
There has been a marked uptake of electric vehicles in the US recently, as gasoline prices threatened to hit $US4 per gallon and perhaps even push their July 2008 record of $US4.11 per gallon.
Electric cars and hybrids were the fastest-growing segment in the US auto market in the first quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. Sales rose 49 per cent to more than 117,000 vehicles during the quarter, against fewer than 79,000 units in the same quarter a year earlier. Toyota's Prius hybrid and General Motors' Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid electric car each posted record sales in March.
Adding sparkle to these numbers were bullish comments from Nissan Motor CEO Carlos Ghosn at the New York auto show last week. Ghosn said he expects pure electric cars to capture 10 per cent of the market by 2020. Nissan will begin production of its Leaf electric car in the US in August.
There are sceptics who have doubts about this positive prognosis, and they cite the challenges of pricing and consumer apprehension. General Motors had halted Volt production in early March because of sluggish sales and built-up inventory. It has however, decided to restart production one week earlier than planned due to the recent sales bounce.
In the wider clean energy sector, another key development last week was the UK's announcement of a new £1bn program for commercialisation of carbon capture technology, after the collapse of a similar funding project last year. Developers interested in participating must register by April 13 and need to submit bids by July 2.
The White Rose carbon capture and storage project in Yorkshire backed by Alstom and Drax will be one of the contenders for the funding. SSE, the former Scottish and Southern Energy, is also likely to submit a project it is developing in Scotland with Royal Dutch Shell. The UK government plans to spur a carbon-capture industry by the 2020s, by supporting projects to bury emissions under the seabed, the Department of Energy and Climate Change said in a statement.
Meanwhile, France moved ahead with its first set of offshore wind projects. EDF, Dong and Alstom won government tenders to build 1.4GW of wind power at three sites. The country plans to install 6GW of offshore wind power by 2020.
In Germany, which also has ambitious plans for power from offshore wind, RWE won permission to begin building the first phase of the 1GW Nordsee project.
The news from the solar sector in that country continued to be grim, with Q-Cells filing for insolvency – the fourth German company to do so after Solon, Solar Millennium and Solarhybrid.
In Asia, all eyes are on Japan, as it gets ready to roll out its feed-in tariffs for renewable energy in July. In the geothermal sector, the government has decided to allow development in hitherto-protected areas like national parks. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance analysts, operational geothermal capacity in Japan could grow to 2GW by 2020 as a result, against 0.5GW currently.
In India, the national government rolled out a 'perform-achieve-trade' scheme to promote energy efficiency in 478 energy-intensive industrial units, covering sectors like thermal power, cement, textiles and iron and steel. Reductions in energy consumption beyond the specified targets would make these units eligible to receive energy-saving certificates, which would be tradable on the power exchanges.
In the wind power sector, the government substantially pruned the accelerated-depreciation incentive policy which has been credited with helping India achieve the third-highest installed wind generation capacity globally.
Meanwhile, European carbon closed 4.4 per cent weaker in a shortened trading week, after hitting a record low. European Union allowances (EUAs) for December 2012 ended last Thursday's session on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange at €6.81/tonne, ahead of a four-day Easter holiday weekend, compared with €7.12/tonne at the close of the previous week.
EUAs tumbled at the beginning of last week after the European Commission released data showing that the bloc's emissions fell by 2.4 per cent from their 2010 levels to reach 1,890Mt in 2011. Benchmark EUAs continued their fall until they reached an all-time low of €5.99/tonne on Wednesday afternoon. EUAs erased some of their losses on Thursday as EU environment ministers prepared to discuss improvements to the bloc's emissions trading system on April 19. United Nations Certified Emission Reduction (CERs) for December 2012 dropped 2.1 per cent to €3.74/tonne.

Towering above the trees of the savannah and constantly snacking, giraffes often appear unfazed by life around them — as few predators pose a threat to these impossibly tall animals. But as recent footage from Kruger National Park shows, they aren't as untouchable as one might think.
In the incredible video, a lioness can be seen practically riding on the back of an adult male giraffe, while four others attack its hind legs. But the whole encounter was so calm that it almost looked like a dad giving his kids a piggyback ride.
Francois Pienaar, the safari guide who captured the encounter at the Klaserie Game Reserve called it "the best sighting in my guiding career!"
Pienaar and his group had been following the lions that morning when they spotted the giraffe. He described the scene to Latest Sightings:
"We sat quietly in the vehicle as we watched the lions stalking this old bull. After about 20 minutes of stalking, the chase was on! We raced in behind the lions, to see the action happening and hoping the lions would catch the big animal and bring it down."
"As we tried to stay with these lions we saw some of the individuals grab at the legs and one female jumping on the back of the giraffe. With a big struggle and to our amazement, the lions finally got the giraffe to a stop and [continued to try] to bring it to the ground."
The old bull giraffe, fighting to stay standing, managed to throw the lions off his back and fought his way out by trying to stomp on the lions.
After about 5 hours the lions finally gave up and the old bull lived to see another day."
Lions are just about the only predators that can take down an adult giraffe — but doing so is no easy feat. With fully grown males standing up to 19 feet tall, giraffes are the tallest living terrestrial animals. Their necks alone can stretch up to 8 feet long!
A single lion has absolutely no chance of taking one on by itself, though a coordinated pride has a better chance of getting one to the ground where they can access the jugular. If they succeed, the massive meal can last for up to a week. But it's risky business as giraffes defend themselves with kicks powerful enough to kill a lion.
While this old bull managed to fend off the hungry predators, younger giraffes aren't always so lucky. In fact, lions (as well as hyenas, leopards and wild dogs) regularly prey on giraffe calves, and only 25% of newborn giraffes survive to adulthood.

A lawyer returns to his parked BMW to find the headlights broken and his front bumper smashed.
There's no sign of the offending vehicle, but he's relieved to see that there's a note stuck under the windshield wiper.
The lawyer picks up the note. "Sorry. I just backed into your Beemer. The witnesses who saw the accident are nodding and smiling at me because they think I'm leaving my name, address and other particulars. But I'm not."

Online publication date: 2017-01-25
Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(1):151–159
Objectives: This study has aimed at identifying prevalence of injury-occurrence in 24 pre-professional-ballet-dancers (females, 16–18 years of age), and identifying the associations between the body-built and prevalence of injuries. Material and Methods: The sample of variables included: body mass, body height, and 3 somatotype characteristics (mesomorph, ectomorph and endomorph) and data on injuries over the preceding year. Results: Dancers were mostly ectomorphic-mesomorph (endomorphy: 2.6±0.54, mesomorphy: 3.99±0.77, ectomorphy: 3.23±0.54). The most commonly injured locations were the foot (17% of all injuries) and ankle (17%). Majority of the injuries occurred while practising but 37% of hip-injuries occurred while performing. Ankle-injuries resulted in longest absence from ballet. Endomorphy was related to ankle-injury (odds ratio (OR) = 1.9, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4–2.3), ectomorphy to foot injury (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.1–2.9), and body-mass to injury to the toes (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.4–3.1). Conclusions: The results of this study allow for recognizing those dancers who are particularly vulnerable to injuries of certain body location. A more profound analysis of the possible mechanisms that lead to hip-injury during performance is needed. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(1):151–159
