May the Schwartz Be With You: Gridlock Sam Wants to Turn New York Traffic On Its Head—the Same Thing He's Done for 40 Years
When Sam Schwartz went into transportation planning in the 1970s, he never thought he would leave behind the asphalt of Manhattan for the sandy beaches of Aruba.
At a conference a few years ago, Mr. Schwartz, who runs an eponymous engineering firm in Soho, had just finished up a panel when a woman approached him and asked for his help. The American tourists coming to her country were too lazy to walk to the historic city center, which had been languishing, and she hoped Mr. Schwartz would help. He joked that she should fly him down for an inspection. The next day, the trip was booked. "I've done that before and no one has ever taken me up on it."
After dismissing horse drawn carriages, Mr. Schwartz hit on a novel solution: a team of former Spielberg and Disney imagineers had created a super-high-tech trolley system, totally battery powered with an 18-hour running time. No new infrastructure is required. "Can you believe it? Mass transit on this little Caribbean island," Mr. Schwartz marveled. A lei of pink flowers hangs in his lofty office overlooking Houston Street, one of hundreds of tokens of gratitude clogging up the walls and shelves like the cars and trucks, constantly honking, in the gridlock below.
Gridlock. A term Sam Schwartz coined, one of his countless tiny little innovations that have endeavored to make traffic move a little faster. After two decades working for the city's Department of Transportation, Mr. Schwartz has taken his show on the road, and what he sees across the country both delights and troubles him. Read More

Target Field, Minneapolis, Minnesota
W: D. Lowe (6-1)
L: J. Marquis (2-3)
Indians' Derek Lowe throws first shutout in 7 years in win over Twins
MINNEAPOLIS -- Derek Lowe has lasted 16 seasons in the major leagues with one of the sharpest sinkers around, a simple pitch that has helped stabilize Cleveland's rotation.
It was working so well Tuesday against Minnesota's languishing lineup that Lowe threw it a whole lot.About 120 times.Lowe posted his first shutout in nearly seven years, throwing a six-hitter and leading the Indians past the Twins 5-0. He became the first pitcher to throw a shutout without a strikeout since Scott Erickson for Baltimore against Kansas City on April 28, 2002."It's been a really gratifying start. Coming into this season there were so many questions about, `Are you done? Are you going to retire?' " Lowe said. "I worked my tail off, not just to prove people wrong but to get myself back to where I knew I should be."Shin-Soo Choo, the Indians' new leadoff man, scored after a leadoff double in the third inning and then hit the first of three Cleveland home runs in the fifth against Jason Marquis (2-3). Asdrubal Cabrera and Carlos Santana also homered to break the game open for Lowe (6-1), who induced four double-play grounders to win his fourth straight decision.Lowe threw a season-high 127 pitches for his 10th career complete game, and first since Aug. 26, 2008, for the Los Angeles Dodgers. This was his fourth big league shutout, and first since Aug. 31, 2005, for the Dodgers at San Diego.He said he threw "seven or eight" breaking balls the entire game. The rest were fastballs, and they sure did sink."You have to use your eyes. The hitters are the ultimate answer to what you're doing," Lowe said, adding: "Sometimes if you deviate from throwing fastballs, you give them a break. You just want to keep going at it until they make a big enough adjustment to make you change your plan."The only time the Twins truly came close to scoring was in the seventh when they loaded the bases with two outs on two singles and a walk. But Alexi Casilla swung at the first pitch for a lazy fly to right field.The first-place Indians rebounded from five losses in their previous six games with a two-game sweep at Target Field of the majors-worst Twins, who entered the game with the most groundballs hit in the league, an average of more than 14 per game.This was Lowe's longest outing in eight starts this season. He's allowed three runs or less with six innings or more in seven of them. Acquiring Lowe from Atlanta for a minor leaguer has turned out to be arguably the best move the Indians made for 2012."He's one of the best teammates I've ever had," catcher Lou Marson said.The Fausto Carmona false-identity fallout and inconsistency by Ubaldo Jimenez and Justin Masterson have hurt the rotation, but Lowe has been a big boost."He's probably got the most sink I've ever seen," said Twins rookie Brian Dozier, who had three hits. "He knows how to miss barrels."Lowe joked to manager Manny Acta about his trust in leaving him in the whole game that he's "going to be 39, not 19" next month."He was going to stay out there until he got the shutout or gave up a run," Acta said.Marquis gave up nine hits, five runs and two walks in five innings while striking out only two. The last time the Twins surrendered three homers in one inning was on Sept. 25, 2010, when Carl Pavano did it at Detroit.Casey Kotchman punched an RBI single down the line to drive in Santana after a double to lead off the second. Then Choo's drive reached the left-field seats to start the fifth. Two batters later, Cabrera smashed an 0-1 sinker to the upper deck in right-center. Finally, Santana turned on a changeup and sent it just inside the pole down the right-field line.Game notes:
Acta said Choo will be the leadoff hitter until further notice. "We're not going to go anywhere unless he produces," the manager said. ... The Indians improved to 12-6 on the road, third best in the majors. ... Indians 3B Jack Hannahan was held out for a second straight game because of a sore back. ... Mauer, who went 0 for 3 with a walk and three groundouts, batted second for the first time this season. ... The last time the Indians hit three homers in one inning was Sept. 27, 2010, against Detroit, when Travis Hafner, Matt LaPorta and Luke Carlin did it.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Product quality is poor.. Requires at least an hour of assembly and even after assembling the cabinet was wobbly. Could not get the screws secured tightly. I assemble items like this frequently and this item was frustrating at best. Some of the screw holes had paint/glue making it almost impossible for the screw to properly seat in the threaded holes.
Very poor quality for the price. I would have expected to spend less on this cabinet. There is a lot of assemply required. Instructions are unclear with nothing more than pictures to guide you. The parts fit together poorly. Doors do not fit together as they should. Edges of the cabinet don't fit tight.
The cabinet was very wably when put together, some line cracks were notice were holes to be used were noticed, did not meet expectation for use.
Very nice cabinet for the price. Fits nicely for what I needed. Easy to put together and adds a splash of color in my dining room and glass doors show off crystal nicley.
This item shipped extremely fast. I love the color, but am a little disappointed at the quality.; should be less costly. I bought this for towel storage in my bathroom, but you can't fit many towels in it.
Very cute cabinet. Easy to assemble and fit the space I had intended for it perfectly.
It looks wonderfl in my newly decorated bathroom and gave me lots of extra storage

Originally described by Alois Alzheimer in 1907, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has emerged as the most common type of dementia in the elderly today.1 Although the definitive diagnosis of AD requires histologic confirmation, in the absence of a readily discernible cause, the clinician may establish the diagnosis antemortem, with a fair degree of certainty, based on the clinical findings of a gradually progressive cognitive decline that results in the loss of memory, language skills, activities of daily living, and executive function.
As the aging population continues to grow at a vigorous pace, it becomes increasingly important to recognize the clinical spectrum of AD because of the possible benefit of medical intervention and its tremendous impact on society. The cost of caring for patients with AD in the United States has been estimated to be $100 billion annually and climbing.2 In recent years, research studies have made major advances in our understanding of the histopathogenesis, genetic risk factors, and treatment options for this devastating neurodegenerative disease.
In 1996, AD was clinically diagnosed in approximately 4 million people in the United States; this figure is expected to triple in the next 50 years.3 Women are more affected than men at a ratio of almost 2 : 1, partly because of the larger population of women who are older than 70 years; however, the prevalence is still higher in women even after statistical correction for longevity.4 Age is another important risk factor. At the age of 60 years, the risk of developing AD is estimated to be 1%, doubling every 5 years to reach 30% to 50% by the age of 85.5 Other reported risk factors include lower levels of intelligence and education (defined as primary education only), small head size, and a family history of the disease.6 A meta-analysis of head injury as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease also demonstrated a definite association in men.7
Genetic risk factors are clearly involved in the pathogenesis of AD. In particular, the gene for apolipoprotein E (ApoE) on chromosome 19 has gained much recent attention. ApoE is a protein modulator of phospholipid transport that might have a role in synaptic remodeling.8 ApoE has three common alleles, ApoE ε2, ε3, and ε4, which are expressed in varying amounts in the normal person. It is the ApoE ε4 genotype that is associated with the risk of AD. Postulated mechanisms include amyloid deposition and abnormal tau phosphorylation, a major component of neurofibrillary tangles. Unlike the chromosomal mutations that are responsible for early-onset AD, the presence of ApoE in itself does not cause AD nor does it guarantee that the carrier will develop any clinical manifestations. Therefore, at this time it should not be used as a screening tool for normal patients who are concerned about developing the disease.
The classic neuropathologic findings in AD include amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and synaptic and neuronal cell death. Granulovacuolar degeneration in the hippocampus and amyloid deposition in blood vessels might also be seen on tissue examination, but they are not required for the diagnosis (Figs. 1 to 3).
Amyloid Plaques
Although amyloid plaques or senile plaques may be classified further according to their composition, all contain forms of β-amyloid protein (Aβ). Aβ is a 39- to 42-amino acid peptide that is formed by the proteolytic cleavage of β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) and is found in extracellular deposits throughout the central nervous system (CNS).9 Aβ is believed to interfere with neuronal activity because of its stimulatory effect on production of free radicals, resulting in oxidative stress and neuronal cell death.6
Neurofibrillary Tangles
Neurofibrillary tangles are paired helical filaments composed of tau protein, which in normal cells is essential for axonal growth and development. However, when hyperphosphorylated, the tau protein forms tangles that are deposited within neurons located in the hippocampus and medial temporal lobe, the parietotemporal region, and the frontal association cortices, leading to cell death.
Neuron and Synapse Loss
Areas of neuronal cell death and synapse loss are found throughout a distribution pattern similar to that of the neurofibrillary tangles, but they greatly affect neurotransmitter pathways. The death of cholinergic neurons in the basalis nucleus of Meynert leads to a deficit in acetylcholine (Ach), a major transmitter believed to be involved with memory. In addition, loss of serotoninergic neurons in the median raphe and adrenergic neurons in the locus ceruleus lead to deficits in serotonin and norepinephrine, respectively.
Chromosomal Mutations
Genetic mutations in chromosomes 21, 14, and 1 have been shown to cause familial early-onset AD. Inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern, the chromosomal mutations account for less than 5% of all cases and result in the overproduction and deposition of Aβ.10 Chromosome 21, which codes for APP, was first evaluated for an association with AD when Down syndrome patients with the trisomy 21 aberration were observed to develop dementia in the fourth decade. Mutations in presenilin 1 (PS-1) on chromosome 14 and presenilin 2 (PS-2) on chromosome 1 also cause AD and are responsible for the majority of familial early-onset cases.
The exact role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of AD is still controversial. Although some studies have been able to demonstrate the presence of activated microglia (a marker of the brain's immune response) in patients with probable AD, a number of prospective clinical trials evaluating the use of drugs targeting various aspects of the immune system such as prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, and selective COX-2 inhibitors have been able to demonstrate only marginal benefits at best.11
Although some studies have suggested a neuroprotective role for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, a recent large study of 351 patients revealed that these medications did not slow progression and cognitive decline in established mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.12,13
Signs and symptoms
AD is a progressive dementia with memory loss as the major clinical manifestation. Although short-term memory impairment is often the manifesting symptom, remote memory loss also appears to be affected over time. Another important feature of AD is the disturbance of language. Initially, AD patients might search for words when naming objects or while engaged in a simple conversation. But with progression of the disease, the language difficulties evolve into an inability to communicate as the patient struggles with a markedly limited vocabulary, nominal aphasia, and defects in verbal comprehension.
Other cortical signs and symptoms such as apraxia, acalculia, and visuospatial dysfunction may become apparent over the course of the disease. With the development of apraxia, patients lose the ability to carry out such simple tasks as combing their hair or turning on a water faucet. Acalculia may become evident when the patient is no longer able to maintain a checkbook or household accounts. Visuospatial abnormalities can be seen as patients become disoriented with their body position in space.
Behavioral problems emerge throughout the various stages of the disease. Mood disturbances such as depression, anxiety, or apathy may be present early on in AD, whereas delusions, hallucinations, and psychosis can be prominent in later stages. In addition, aggression and inappropriate sexual behavior can be particularly problematic for the caregiver.
In advanced stages of AD, patients might exhibit extrapyramidal signs such as tremor and gait disturbance, frontal lobe release phenomena, urinary incontinence, and myoclonus. Seizures can also be seen in some patients with late-stage disease. Patients with end-stage AD almost invariably enter a vegetative state when all cognitive activity ceases.
Clinical Diagnosis
In 1984, the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Diseases Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) established diagnostic criteria designed for research purposes and clinical definition.14 Now recommended by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) for the diagnosis of AD, this classification is divided into definite, probable, and possible AD.15 (See the AAN national guidelines for the diagnosis and management of Alzheimer's disease, the contents of which are summarized in the following paragraphs.)
In addition to histopathologic confirmation, definite AD requires the clinical finding of dementia as determined by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or other standardized neuropsychological testing; the examination must demonstrate deficits in two or more areas of cognition, with progressive memory loss in the absence of delirium.
Probable AD is the clinical determination of dementia as just described and is supported by the findings of impaired activities of daily living, loss of specific cognitive functions such as language and motor skills, and a family history.14 Other clinical findings that support the diagnosis in patients with advanced AD are myoclonus, gait disorder, and increased muscle tone. Possible AD is considered when there is variation in the onset, presentation, or clinical course of the dementia and when a second brain disease or systemic disorder is present. Clinical factors that make the diagnosis of AD unlikely include sudden onset and focal neurologic findings such as hemiparesis and visual field deficits. Clinically, both the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IIIR definition of dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) may be used to diagnose AD with 90% accuracy.15
Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis for AD is extensive and includes a multitude of neurodegenerative diseases that are associated with the development of dementia including Pick's disease, Lewy body disease, and other diseases such as vascular dementia and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Most of these entities can be differentiated from AD by the clinical history and a careful examination. Potentially treatable diseases that can mimic the dementia caused by AD include depression, thyroid disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, normal pressure hydrocephalus, and neurosyphilis, all of which should be effectively ruled out in the evaluation of AD.
Imaging Studies
In advanced cases of AD, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrate diffuse cortical atrophy with disproportionate volume loss in the medial temporal lobe structures. However, only mild atrophy and normal age-related changes may be present early on in the disease. Therefore, the use of imaging studies in the diagnostic workup of AD is mainly to exclude structural lesions such as subdural hemorrhage and brain tumors. Functional imaging studies used in clinical research include positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans, which demonstrate hypometabolism and hypoperfusion, respectively, in the temporal-parietal regions bilaterally. Amyloid burden imaging compounds are under development (Pittsburgh Compound B).
Laboratory Studies
Routine chemistry panels, blood counts, metabolic panels (e.g., TSH) spinal fluid analyses, and inflammatory markers are all within normal limits in patients with AD. Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings are usually normal or show diffuse slowing in later stages of the disease.
Management of Cognition
The major issues in treating AD are the improvement of memory and cognition and the delay of disease progression. At present there are no proven medications that cure or slow progression in Alzheimer's disease. Temporary improvements in cognition and behavior can be seen with the two existing drug classes of cholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists.
The three cholinesterase inhibitors as well as the NMDA receptor antagonist memantine are listed in Box 1. The new patch formulation of rivastigmine (Exelon) allows the convenience of once-daily administration, with a marked decrease in the common gastrointestinal (GI) side effects seen with the cholinesterase inhibitors. Efficacy appears to be similar among the cholinesterase inhibitors. The only reported differences are the dosing schedule and side-effect profile of each individual drug.

The second drug class widely used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease recognizes the increasing role of glutamate overstimulation of NMDA receptors on the surface of neurons. It is believed that this results in long-term excessive calcium influx into the neuron through the NMDA surface channel. By inhibiting this excessive influx, some improvements in cognition and behavior have been demonstrated in severe Alzheimer's disease.
An evidence review of the effectiveness of these drugs in the treatment of dementia concluded that "they can result in statistically significant but clinically marginal improvements in the measures of cognition and global assessment of dementia."16
Management of Noncognitive Symptoms
Depression is common in patients with AD and can require pharmacologic treatment. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors are relatively well tolerated by patients and are preferred over tricyclic antidepressants, which often exacerbate the cognitive impairment as a result of their anticholinergic properties. Behavioral disturbances such as psychosis and agitation require an investigation for a correctable underlying cause—such as a urinary tract infection—before a neuroleptic agent should be considered. If there is no external etiology, then establishing a quiet, controlled, and familiar environment for the patient can help to decrease confusion and disorientation.
Behavioral disturbances in AD may also be treated pharmacologically with both traditional and atypical neuroleptics. Although haloperidol can be effective, the atypical antipsychotics, which include risperidone, quetiapine, and olanzapine, may be better tolerated than traditional agents. There is not enough evidence to support the use of benzodiazepines, lithium, and anticonvulsants for the treatment of psychosis in patients with AD.17
Special care units within long-term care facilities are another consideration; some studies have shown a reduced need for antipsychotics and physical restraints as well as a decrease in behavioral disturbances in AD patients who reside there.17 Psychosocial intervention for the caregiver is also an integral part of managing patients with AD. Education, support groups, and respite care services are should be suggested to family members and friends who provide the primary care for AD patients.18
The Future
A number of novel approaches are being studied in the hope that one or more might prevent or even reverse the accumulation of the toxic substance β-amyloid discussed earlier. These include the development of vaccines to remove or prevent amyloid accumulation and the manipulation of enzyme systems referred to as secretases. Unfortunately, the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory (GEM) study showed that Gingko biloba extract, when taken by normal patients older than 85 years, failed to alter the risk of progression from normal to Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) stage 0.5 and had no beneficial effect in preserving memory function.19
With the number of AD patients expected to grow exponentially over the next few decades, further studies are needed to elucidate our understanding of the disease, its risk factors, and potential treatments. This is critical not only for those at risk who can be identified in the preclinical state for early intervention but also for the patients and their caregivers whose lives are forever changed by the tragedy of this disease.
- Worldwide estimates of dementia prevalence increase from 24 million today to 81 million in 2040.
- Increasing age is the most powerful nonmodifiable risk factor.
- Potentially treatable causes of cognitive decline need to be excluded before establishing the diagnosis of AD.
- Current drug therapy offers mild benefit.

Weirton stretches for film/paper 'cocoon'
Cortec also supplies a liquid VCI coating that's applied to the linerboard used to make the doughnut-shaped sidewall protectors. Weirton personnel fit two doughnuts onto each coil after placing two tube-shaped inserts inside the eye of the coil one from each side.
The load is then stretch wrapped on one of two WRT-150 semi-automatic stretch wrappers from Wulftec (Ayer's Cliff Quebec Canada). Liberty serves as a distributor for both Wultec and Cortec. The wrappers were added last year to what the steel producer refers to as its temper mill in the Weirton WV integrated steel mill. The tempering process strengthens the steel and readies it for customer use.
Overall the mill produces around three million tons of steel annually. The steel is sold to distributors and manufacturers of everything from electrical boxes to appliances furniture and automotive parts. To the best of Misselwitz's knowledge the steel produced at the temper mill is not used in any packaging applications.
"Before adding the wrappers we relied on the standard paper materials used in the steel industry to protect these coils" says Misselwitz. "We decided to make the change based on visits to our customers out in the field. They asked us if we would try stretch wrapping. For a long time that was too expensive a process." That's where Liberty Distributors came in.
"Previously in the steel industry stretch wrapping these horizontal coils could only be done with a machine that used a trolley-type system where the car rode through the eye of the coil and it encompassed the coil with film inside and out" explains Liberty's director of sales Jan Martin. "It's an automated system with considerable bells and whistles but it's pricey—in the $750 to $1 million range I believe" she says. "And in a lot of cases it wasn't even wrapping quickly enough for the mills." For those reasons that type of machine wasn't appropriate for Weirton.
"The key was for us to try to develop a cost-effective solution" notes Misselwitz.
Building the relationship
"We've worked with Jan Martin at Liberty for years" says Tom Thayer strip steel area manager at Weirton. "We discussed with her the idea [of stretch wrapping coils] and she went out and found the equipment the stretch wrap and the corrugated materials. She visits our mill regularly. We put a team together with personnel from maintenance and engineering and she became part of that early last year."
Martin explains that she's worked with Weirton for most of the 11 years she's been with the distributor of paper products packaging and shipping materials. "In the past Weirton dealt with specialty distributors in the steel industry" she says. "We never really had an opportunity to get involved in this type of project. We've supplied Weirton with tapes and janitorial supplies but we didn't get involved in specialty packaging until the last few years."
Martin focuses on packaging applications but over the years she's learned more about the steel business. She explains "I kept my ears and eyes open and I focused on what I felt Weirton could do better. They approached their big distributors to come up with a system that was affordable and could be instituted quickly. I asked for a chance to see what we could do and I sat down with Craig and learned what Weirton expected of the equipment. We brought in Cortec and Wulftec and the project began to evolve."
Stretching for savings
Martin realized that "nobody trying to develop a stretch wrap could really get a good seal on the coil." She worked with Weirton and the suppliers to find a solution. Liberty and Weirton developed the fiber core and the corrugated paper doughnut that helped make it possible to stretch wrap on more economical wrapping equipment.
"An average-sized coil weighs about 36 pounds and measures 42 inches wide" notes Weirton's Misselwitz. "The stretch wrapper cocoons the steel for protection." The equipment wraps film around the rotating load.
With more than a year of stretch-wrapping experience under its belt Weirton has realized some key advantages. "We produce about 24 coils a year that are wrapped on these two machines" notes Thayer. "With this machine we're saving 20 to 25 percent in overall labor costs."
Besides labor Thayer says there's "a savings of $8 per coil. We're using about eight fewer pounds of corrugated and banding for each pallet load." That equates to $192 a year.
Fewer materials also require less space at the Weirton facility. "We have approximately 4 square feet of space for packaging in the temper mill area" says Thayer. "But with the change in materials we now need only 600 square feet."
Misselwitz adds "The machines are very economical. We did tests on the films and learned that the Cortec film gave us the best combination of price and protection. We put about 14 wraps around each coil and we prestretch the film."
Another benefit Thayer explains "is that there were environmental advantages. Not just in using less material but also because it's easier for our customers" to recycle or discard these materials than was the case with previous materials. That's because "the previous paper-based components used a heavier woven paper that landfills wouldn't take" Misselwitz recalls.
Perhaps the most telling sign of Weirton's appreciation of the equipment is that another area in the mill is installing four new Wulftec wrappers which mill management anticipates will further increase its efficiency.
"Like most companies in this industry we're always looking at ways to improve our product and if we can to cut costs" summarizes Thayer. "Liberty came up with good ideas that saved us money improved our process and improved the quality of the product we send to our customers."
"Our customers like the recyclable materials and they've dropped claims for rust to nearly nothing" Misselwitz concludes.

In many applications the choice of axial or centrifugal fan is obvious, in others both types can be used. In the latter cases Howden engineers can assist the customer to come to the optimum choice for each application.
The main criteria to be assessed are:AerodynamicsAxial fans are more suited to supplying higher flows at lower pressures (high specific speed duties) whilst centrifugal fans are more suited to supplying lower flows at higher pressures (low specific speed duties).
DustCentrifugal fans are more resistant to erosion by gas-borne dust and can be fitted with substantial replaceable liners and/or hard surfacing.
High temperaturesCentrifugal fans can tolerate much higher temperatures, and temperature fluctuations than variable pitch axial fans
Flow controlAt lower loads, the higher efficiency of a variable pitch axial fan cannot be matched by constant speed centrifugal fans.
LayoutThe available space in an installation may be the determining factor on which type of fan to use, as axial and centrifugal fans have significantly different footprints.
Electrical supplyThe higher inertia of a centrifugal fan will require a higher current to start the fan from rest, which may be a significant factor if there is a constraint in the electrical supply to the plant.
AcousticsBoth fan types tend to generate similar levels of noise for a given duty, with lower frequencies more dominant in the centrifugal fan, and mid-frequencies in the axial. Noise from a variable pitch axial fan will reduce at lower loads, whereas noise will increase from a constant speed centrifugal fan when inlet vanes or dampers are closed.

Just ran out of my Andalou Naturals night cream and picked this one up to try out. I like that it claims to brighten skintone and fade dark marks, because I have a lot of old acne marks I'm trying to get rid of. I can't comment on that aspect just yet, but I can tell that I absolutely love the formula of this cream. It is extremely thick, like a balm but it hydrates and plumps like a high end moisturizer. It has a very pleasant scent that reminds me a lot of the Clarins Iris toning lotion scent, but it may be too strong if you're not a scented skincare person.
I really enjoy using this at night. Just a small amount is needed for my face and neck. You wake up with hydrated, plump and glowing skin in the morning. I use it in combination with the enzyme scrub and toner from the same line.
I have been using this for a week (the 'new' version) and definitely moisturizes and leaves my skin plump and bright in the morning. So far no results with scar fading--will update if that changes. I love that it is cruelty free and about half the price of department store night creams (I paid $16 I think). A little goes A LONG WAY!!!! The first time I used this I used way too much and I ended up waking up with a super greasy face, so be careful. I really hate the packaging; tubs are basically a pool for germs so you must make sure you wash your hands right before you stick your fingers in there. It definitely has a strong, manly smell to it that I wish wasn't there; sort of off putting but not a deal breaker. If you're sensitive to scents I would not recommend it. Also, it does not break out my acne-prone skin!! I can usually use all Alba products with no problem.

This is a rich and moisturizing cream. I use this during the day sometimes, but just a little tiny bit. I hate that it's in a jar package, but most night creams are unfortunately. I haven't noticed any change in discoloration (I have a lot of red discoloration on my face) but I didn't expect the cream to do much for that anyway. All in all, this is a very nice nighttime cream for a reasonable price.

The cream is indeed very moisturizing and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. I like how light it is, which is usually difficult to find in an ultra-moisturizing night cream (I have very dry skin, so I need to bring out the big guns). The smell is a little dated, but doesn't bother me. I think I also noticed reduced redness, but it wasn't very obvious. Overall, I recommend it strictly as a moisturizer, and not for the redness reducing qualities.

I have very sensetive skin and can beak out with many products.
I am very impressed with this cream. I use it at night every other night and this seems to moisterize me without over doing it and making me break out.

Very thick and moisturizing but I have to agree with another reviewer that this "smells like laundry detergent". After using it for 2 weeks, I had to stop because the smell was just too strong. :-(

More reviews by Marmaladestarz
I spent a good deal of time looking for a suitable night cream, and I finally settled on trying this one - not extravagantly expensive (I think I paid $21), "natural" product without too many nasties (or so I had hoped - the Good Guide seems to think otherwise, but I'm not sure I buy their rating. For this reason, I might go on the search again once I finish this container.), and solid moisturizing properties.
While this cream's primary claim is uneven tone reduction, I purchased this more as an all around night-cream. I rely on my Arbonne RE9 Serum for anti-aging properties.
Pros: moisturizes adequately - much better than any other moisturizers and night creams I have tried, including my Clinique Moisture Surge. I previously had tried Neutrogena's natural night cream, which I think would be OK for summer, but it's just not enough during the winter. This one does a much better job in dry weather.
Added bonus - I got dry patches on my hands that wouldn't go away with regular creams - a few dabs of this at night, and I had soft, healed hands the next day.
Cons: The texture is a bit sticky - you can't just glide it on your skin. However, I've found that if you apply it right after washing and/or pat it on, it's fine. Also, if I apply this over my Arbonne vitamin C serum (RE9), it can sometimes pill up and flake off. However, I've noticed if I let the serum sink in a little longer, this is minimal, and the patting method helps as well. I've found this cream can sometimes make vapors that stings my eyes, but I think this is only an issue when they're already irritated or dry.
I am pretty sensitive to "smelly" creams, and I have to say I find the light fragrance appealing and not too obtrusive. However, if it came in unscented (which, maybe it does), I would prefer that.
I won't comment on packaging, as everyone has their preference - personally, I like to use every last drop, so the pot is a plus, although not great for travel.
The one thing this claims to do - reduce discoloration after 2 weeks - did not happen for me. The dark/age spots are still there at the end of the jar. However this is a nice natural cruelty-free moisturizer from a reliable company and worth a try. I used it both morning and night - it isn't so greasy you can't put on makeup after. But not so great that I noticed any textural or other improvements.
I am surprised people didn't like the scent: I found it pleasant, not perfumey.
I'm marking it down mainly for not working as hoped and marking it as a "not buy again" because since that didn't happen, there are probably other moisturizers that achieve the same basic purpose.
I have very, very touchy (sensitive, combination, dries out easily) skin and am still getting breakouts in my late 20s, so it's a challenge to find skincare products that don't exacerbate my acne. I've generally had very good luck with alba botanica's stuff, and have been using this regularly at night. It is heavy, but it soaks in well and my skin is smoother and brighter on mornings after I've used it. I can't say it makes my acne any better, but it doesn't irritate my skin at all. I'll definitely repurchase. My only quibble is I don't like the tub-- it would be nice to have a squeeze or pump bottle.
My skin is combination, with some pgimentation issues and the beginnings of lines and sagging on the cheeks. Personally I hated the smell and the very greasy consistency. Also I couldn't really get it to sink into my skin, no matter how little of it I use. I can't attest to its effectiveness because I didn't use it long enough to say.

Salvatore Ferragamo Mini Vara Capra Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
Just look at the strap: leather, chain, a buckle and a tie keep the bag interesting, but the different elements are graceful and pretty together -- that's quite a feat! Not only that, but it's adjustable, so it's even functional in all its eclectic glory.
The bag pictured here is metallic silver with brass-toned nickel hardware, and it also comes in black and shell. We love the way the Italian leather is clamped into this rich, grabbable texture on the retro front flap.
The Mini Vara Capra Shoulder Bag is available from Neiman Marcus for $1,490.00.

Well, if that don't beat all! Durn the luck, but my brain cavity couldn't see the trees for the forest. I guess I should have remembered the advice from the Song of the Lazy Farmer, who used to espouse sitting back and relaxing and letting life's problems work out all by themselves. And the story goes like this....
Royal root results
On one very warm afternoon, I came in from the garden and decided enough was enough. It was just plain too hot outside to do anything. So, I turned on the television and there was Dr. Oz talking about the benefits of beets and beet juice. My ears kind of perked up because well, I had an overabundance of beets in my garden.
My first planting of beets didn't come up, so I planted another very large package of beet seed. With the second planting, I figured that maybe I needed to water the seeds thoroughly to get them to sprout. So I did. And then it rained -one of the few really good rains we had this summer-- and then both the plantings sprouted and grew with great vigor. Hence, I had a lot of beets-I called them the Royal Root--- growing in my garden. In fact, every seed grew and that left me with a problem. What was I supposed to do with all these beets? It was indeed a dilemma for me but then Dr. Oz's program came to my rescue... or so I thought.
Dr. Oz and his guest talked about the benefits of beets for the body and the brain. The brain-what was this? I had brain food growing in my garden! I had to check this one out.
My research revealed that I also had cholesterol reducing food growing in my garden! I had colon cancer reducing food growing in my garden! The experts even said beets could lower blood pressure and that in the times of the ancient Romans; beet juice was believed to be an aphrodisiac. I'll let you research this word
(Continued from Previous Page)
on your own. Anyway, I really had something pretty awesome growing right out there in my own little garden.
Well, that very next day, I boiled up a big kettle of beets, removed the skins and diced them up for our noon meal. My men were going to get the benefit of this nutritious food. I was going to solve all of our health issues with my overabundance of beets! I was going to be a hero for the cause of healthy eating.
Guess what happened? My fellows each took one small itty-bitty helping and left me with a large bowlful of uneaten beets. No amount of urging or cajoling could get them to take a second helping. I even brought up the stuff about the aphrodisiac benefits of eating beets. That didn't faze them in the least. I couldn't believe it. Sadly, I ate the most beets of anyone at the table. These beets were actually very tender and delicious but each of my guys had a personal story to relate about beets and why they didn't like them. The only kind of beets anyone really wanted were beet pickles and how many jars of beet pickles can one eat? My garden had enough beets to feed an army. Now what?
The critters knew what was good for them.
I proceeded with making fourteen quart jars of beet pickles only to be told by the powers that be-that that was indeed enough. So, I quit making beet pickles and was again left with my original problem: what was I going to do with all of these beets?
On a side note, one good result from my pickled beet canning was that I noticed the discarded beet tops and skins were being feasted upon by nature's critters. My favorite heifers enjoyed munching on the fresh beet tops and the friendly squirrels, rabbits, and deer were enjoying the beet skins. Hm? They knew what was good for them.
Waste not; want not
Since I do like Harvard Beets and I know that they are a good fiber food plus rich in magnesium and Vitamin A and low in fat, I made a canner full of pint jars just for myself. The good Dr. Oz said beets were a great brain food and who doesn't need that?
In any case, I am going to try to use these garden beets if it kills me. The old phrase of: Waste not; want not keeps ringing through my cranium, which has led me to contemplate trying another brand new avenue for using the beets. I am going to try juicing them.
My research tells me that beet juice is rather potent by itself, so one needs to add some carrots and celery or cucumber or maybe even an apple or pineapple to sweeten the mixture. We shall see what I come up with this week. If the process doesn't work, guess who will benefit from my work. God's critters need a special treat ever once-in-awhile, don't you think?

Excellent world class IPA. Very crisp and lemony citrus. Grapefruit Bitter sipping with fruity salt, and bitter aftertaste with high but effective complementary hops. Lots of initial and remaining foam. Light texture. Floral aroma. Had this five years later on tap at the brewpub and it is flavourful.

Thanks to kzoobrew for sending me this one!
Pours a hazy golden yellow-orange with a 1 inch puffy white head that fades to a film. Thin broken rings of lace form on the glass on the drink down. Smell is of fresh floral and piney hops and citrus aromas. Taste is of very nice floral/herbal hops, citrus juice/zest, and a malt flavor on the finish. Mild hop bitterness lingers on the palate after each sip. A good level of carbonation makes for a crisp and clean mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good IPA that is very easy to drink. I enjoyed this one very much.

I've been meaning to re-review Bell's Two Hearted Ale ever since I had the bottle that led to my first review because I was convinced that it had seen better days. I bought an uber fresh sixer on my recent trip to Ohio and have worked my way through it over the past few weeks. Since I've been more impressed with each passing bottle, this last one should be otherworldly. Damn, I knew I should have bought more than six.
Ripe apricot-amber with an all-encompassing cloud of fine particulates. The ivory colored cap contains the barest blush of pale orange and is a thing of beauty. Milkshake creamythick and hop resin sticky, it leaves buttery thick sheets of minutely pocked lace on the glass that will, no doubt, have to be removed with gallons of scalding water.
Ah... the intoxicating aroma of fresh Centennial hops! As I drank the other bottles, I debated the gloriousness of Two Hearted's nose. At this moment in time, however, I can't imagine a better smelling IPA. The insanely bright, incandescent, pungent, grapefruit juicy hops cement the notion in my mind that every member of the 4-Cs, whether used alone or in combination, and if used skillfully, are the best beer hops in the world, hands down.
I know what this beer tastes like with some age on it and now I know what it tastes like fresh. It has barely passed the 4-week mark from the time of bottling to my mouth... and it tastes like it. A more than solid backbone of buttery soft, teasingly sweet pale malt greets my every sip and is still very nearly annihilated by a hop explosion that is so fresh and so immediate that it makes me want to weep.
This is one of the best examples of a 'candied white grapefruit sections' IPA that I can think of. Spruce makes a welcome contribution, but nothing else gets in the way of the grapefruit love. If I had to think of one word to describe this beer, that word would be 'beautiful'. I'm not talking about the appearance, although it looks great, but about the entire experience. Two Hearted tastes so perfectly balanced, so deliciously hoppy, so... sublime, that beautiful is the only word that truly fits.
The mouthfeel is a smidgen lighter than I'd like, but that's such obvious nitpicking that I'm embarrassed to type it. It's supremely smooth and silky, making the drinking as natural as breathing. An absolutely perfect amount of carbonation doesn't hurt what is, quite simply, mouth candy.
Bell's Two Hearted Ale is a world-class IPA, period. In fact, I'm considering an e-mail assault on the talented Mr. Bell until he decides to extend his distribution area this far west. If I had this fine ale within easy reach, it would have a permanent place in my beer fridge. With regular consumption, say a sixer every week, I'd probably begin to tire of it in... oh, about 2035.

Thanks to JohnnyM2002 for my first two-hearted
Pours a merky amber color with a nice 1 finger frothy head that was slow to disappear, this just looks yummy. Smell is knock your socks off!! Citrusy hops all the way, unreal smell, orange and grapefruit in there. Taste is loaded down with citrus, with a fantastic dry hoppy finish. A bit of a grassy, pine taste, but one of the most citrus favored hops I have ever tasted. Went down ohh soo smooth, just right carbonation. This is so a keeper, cannot wait to get my hands on some more of this. Just awesome, really awesome brew.

Another round of thanks go out to cvaypai for this one. Craig once again hooking it up with the Midwest's finest.
A: It pours a hazy burnt orange color with a small white head. Some sticky looking lacing as I drink this one.
S: The aroma really blew me away. Loads of citrus hop aroma, sweet tropical fruits, and not much malt--very nice.
T: The taste is very similar to the aroma. A great grapefruit and orange flavor, along with sweet pineapple. The finish is nice and piney, giving a bitterness to balance out the fruit.
M: The beer is medium bodied and has moderate carbonation.
D: I can see why people go nuts over this beer. Such a solid IPA, much more similar to the California IPAs than most other Midwest and East Coast offerings.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy honey color with a sturdy little head that retains well and laces nicely
Smell: Grapefruit with floral tones
Taste: Opens biscuity up front, with a burgeoning grapefruit flavor developing in a very bitter direction by mid-palate; after the swallow, the bitterness mellows and the malt reintroduces itself to provide a nicely balanced finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Drinkability: A very nicely crafted IPA; not as big as some others but suits the style

Bottle courtesy of Daalamar: Poured a light orangey color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention. Aroma of floral hops is quiet enticing with a great semi-sweet malt base. Taste of crisp and citrus hops are well mixed with a nice solid sweet malt based. Carbonation is lively and body is about average. Overall a really good example and enjoyable take on the style thought a bit overrated in my opinion.

Upon closer tasting. It is a great flavored, aroma-ed, balanced, and drinkable IPA. Tough to get any better.
An excellent beer by Bell's. Although there are no stand-out characteristics, it's safe and solid in all areas of making a great IPA. By current standards, this beer does not have the overly aggressive hop bittering or flavoring. It's basically an amped up APA with a great malt balance. Quite flavorful with spicy hops (pine-ey) and malt sweetness (citrusy). This happens in both the nose and flavor equally. This is a great beer, but there are a lot of great beers that tastes just like this one. A clean and refreshing brew. A good one to get back to those beer drinking roots with.

T: There is an excellent balance between the malt and hops, with lots of citrusy flavors similar to the smell.

Served in a pint glass at Paradiso.
I've had this a number of times, but never on cask. Let's do it to it. It pours a hazy orange amber topped by nearly a finger of thick creamy foam. The nose is dominated by the hops (mostly citrus with some pine thrown in for variety's sake), though a current of sweet caramel jets through like the EAC. The taste is very similar, though the balance is much better. Both camps respect each other for their ferocity and professionalism. Damn, does it make for one tasty battle. The body is a light medium, with no real carbonation involved and a severely smooth and creamy feel. This is insanely good on cask, even better than in bottles. Get some!

A bottle that's allowed to sit for some time and then carefully poured delivers just a slightly hazy (almost clear) peachy-gold body that's topped by a frothy white head which holds fairly well. It eventually drops but keeps a really nice creamy collar, and a simple swirl of the glass brings it right back up! Additionally, it leaves some nice lace - although it's fleeting. The aroma, however, is even more astonishing than the appearance with a bright, bold combination of soft ripe fruit, tangy grapefruit and resiny pine. Intense! But it goes even one step further as the flavor is even bolder than the aroma with a searing bitterness right-up front, and from start to finish! If it weren't for the rich (almost sugary) and fruity (apricot, tangerine, mild pineapple) malt underneath this beer would be way too much! Surprisingly, and thankfully, the hop flavors are limited to the fruity side of things and the interplay between the crushing bitterness and the sweet malt is really interesting. It's kind of like a "tug of war" in the mouth. The firm maltiness is enlivened by a very fine and gently effervescent carbonation that helps this to happen. It's surprisingly smooth and creamy. This is one hell of a "take no prisoners" IPA that should clearly be sought out and destroyed - one bottle at a time! Most highly recommended.

12oz bottle, procured in a trade with Roke87 - thanks!
This beer pours a slightly hazy medium golden yellow hue, with two fat fingers of tight foamy, creamy off-white head, which leaves random swaths of sticky, filmy lace around the glass as it slowly recedes. It smells of bready caramel cream, and citrus, herbal, and mild pine hops. The taste is more of the same - though the citrus hops wane, replaced by a growing herbal essence, and bitter, all, over a mildly sweet bready malt. No evidence of the 7 points of booze, which is nice. The carbonation is on the low side of average, and a wee bit airy, the body also just short of medium weight, and smooth enough against a surging bitter hop edge. It finishes clean, mostly, and hoppy - the green, grassy, herbal sort.
A pretty decent IPA - I'm suspecting one of two things: this bottle has a bit of age on it, or my palate is still wrecked from two weeks of drinking in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho...

Two firkins of the cask-conditioned stuff found their way to the bar at Bryant-Lake Bowl, and the beer cognoscenti of Minneapolis flocked to fill their mugs.
I had a pint of the regular tap first, and some still rested in the glass when the "real arrived", giving me the chance to sample them side by side.
Appearance is darker, a heavier orange/amber, and the head to slim for a freshly tapped Two-Hearted. I've poured some of those with gorgeous froth that sat on the glass like soft-serve ice cream, proud as pudding. So, I missed that...
Aroma is nice, but not as pungent as the tap.
Taste is the difference. Where the tap gives you the hops on the palate in a brisk spike, a frisky tingle, then mellows and moves out, leaving nothing bu clean, smooth drinkability, this cask version keeps the hops at play throughout the duration. The body is the main thing affected, and it's creamy, but not too much, for this is Two-Hearted. (I drink the stuff almost every single day, I should know!)
Drinkablity is big, too, and the character is really key. This was an excellent pint, a big difference, though, blast me down if you must, if prefer the CO2 version. I like that hop attack...but there's something to be said for both...hope to have it again at some other occasion in my lifetime!

Batch 8636 from July 24th, 2008. Poured into a mug.
A - This is the second bottle of Two-Hearted that has bubbled over as soon as I opened it. Not sure why this keeps happening, as they both sat relatively undisturbed for quite a while. Apricot color with bright white head that dissipates fairly quickly leaving a creamy big-bubbled lace.
S - Sweet citrus, hops, some malt, a little bit floral with a hint of pine. Good balance of bitter and sweet elements.
T - Heavy hop bitterness at the front, then melts into a mix of sweet fruits like peach and citrus (grapefruit, orange, etc.). There's a slight malt character that I get mid-palate that doesn't linger very long. Very good, but not sublime.
M - Has the thickness that I demand out of my beer. No reason that IPAs shouldn't be viscous or creamy too. Not overly carbonated (perhaps because it all came out when I opened the brew?), and very smooth.
D - Bell's - please bring these back to Illinois! This is much more sessionable than Hopsolution. Second only to Masala Mama in this regard. You can't taste the 7% at all, and it's super refreshing to drink.

A big thank you to BlackAngus for sending me this one in a trade.
Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light gold with a foamy, off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: Heavy aroma of hops & citrus (orange, grapefruit & tangerine mostly), very pleasant.
T: Excellently balanced combination of hops bitterness and sweet citrus malt flavors. The two flavors dont battle each other as they do in some beers; rather they blend together even into the after taste.
M: Very crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation and a very clean finish.
D: This beer is very tasty, goes down very easily, doesnt fill you much and is one of those beers where each sip makes you crave the next more and more.
To put it simply, this is one of the best beers Ive ever had.

This is the beer that made me appreciate IPA's.
Two Hearted is a regional staple in the Great Lakes, i'm sad to see it leave IL (temporarily I hope).
Pours a cloudy, swirling orange. Big foamy head, spots of lacing ring the glass. Looks like a fresh and lively ale, which it delivers in it's other aspects as well.
Sharp fruity hops in the aroma, abundant but not overboard. Taste follows the hoppy nose, distinctly grapefruit and pale malt. Slight dryness increases it's drinkability quite a bit.
This is great for a session...i'm going to miss this on tap around Chicago, especially the Empty Bottle (this was their best beer option). Come back Bell's!
Notes 11-2007: Sampled an "aged cask" of this recently, after a year it is way mellow, and strongly similar to hop tea. Uncarbonated, watery, with an earthy suggestion of hops, but nowhere near as balanced as it is fresh. A novelty (not altering any scores here). Do not cellar this, for the love of all things good and holy.

The beer pours a pale gold color with a thick frothy white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a pale malt scent with a dry grainy finish. It is full of floral hops and earthy malts. The taste is good. It has a very bitter hop flavor followed up with some pale malts and a dry finish. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a low/medium bodied beer with good carbonation. This is a fine American pale ale. It has good flavor and aroma; a good drinker/sessions ale.

Draft at RFD, 16 ounces served in 16 ounce glass. Yellow, slightly couldy, minimal white head, low carbonation. Amazing aroma. Citrus / pine, not overly piney. Cascade / amarillo aroma, very inviting. The beer screams, drink me! This is the type of beer that reminds me I'm a hop head. Sweet full bodied nice bitterness. Not overwhelming, but characteristics of great hop flavor. Drinkability high, A truly well formed beer. A slight aftertaste, some bitterness on the back end hold son. not strong. A reasonable amount of lingering flavor. This is one of my favorite IPAs in the country.

Thanks to hudsonphotog for bringing this one back from Pittsburgh.
Pours a slightly cloudy yellow with a large white head, which stays around throughout the drinking process. The aroma is lots of citrus with both orange and apricot notes. You also get some floral and pine aromas. The flavor is relatively bitter with a strong orange/citrus aftertaste. Very tasty. Thin-medium mouthfeel and lots of carbonation. A great IPA that lives up to the hype.

Pours an ever-so slightlty hazed amber with 4+ fingers of fluffed up eggshel white head. Very good head retention & good lacing
S: Big time citrus & piney hops, plus some breadyness
T: Big-time breadyness & grapefruitty hops up front. More grapefruit & orangey hops as this warms. Nice breadyness, with a hint of brown, sugar, booze & loads of citrussy & piney/resiny hops, yummy!!
MF: Rich, chewy medium-bodied with perfrect balance
Super AIPA, too drinkable, this is one that lives up to the hype IMO. I like my IPAs to have malt to back up the hops & this one comes through with flying colors!

12 oz bottle pours out a rich, amber color. Nice foamy white head. It left some lacing. Hop smell was present, specifically cascade hops. It also seemed to have an orange scent. The flavor was very interesting. It was slightly bitter and very hoppy. It was good. It had a fairly crisp mouthfeel and was definitely drinkable. Too bad I only bought one bottle

Pours a lightly hazy golden-copper color, and is topped by a offwhite creamy head. The aroma is of hops; grapefruit, apricot, citrus, and perhaps some pine, which adds an astringent note. The taste of the beer is quite good, to be to the point. But let me pontificate a bit more. There is a light sweetness which contributes to the citrusy hop flavor quite a bit. It is pretty bitter in the finish as well. The hops are not totally dominated by citrus though, there is some herbal notes, some hop spicines, and some notes of pine here as well. In the end a fairly dry beer, but made so because of the generous hopping. There is some malt sweetness here which helps to hold up the hop onslaught. The hops set a tingling sensation to my tongue, that screams pay attention to my hoppiness. This is a great everday beer, though perhaps it is just missing some slight amount of hop flavor & malt backbone to push it over the edge.

When I ordered the rug I really wasn't sure that it was the one. They just delievered it and took it to the den for me. The minute I started to unroll it I knew this was the one. The colors are beautiful and just give the room the pop it needed. I know that it will be in that room for years to come. Thank you Overstock for the great quality of furniture and rugs that you carry.
This a a truly beautiful and unique rug at a fantastic price. I looked every where and could not find anything close in price or in quality. The colors are pretty true to the picture. The pile is thick. This is a heavy rug that will not move around easily. It makes a definite statement so if you are looking for a vibrant statement rug - this is a good choice. It also did not need a lot of vacuuming as some new rugs do as it did not shed very much.
No surprises, just a beautiful, high quality rug. Sheds a lot, but that is already decreasing in the 3 weeks I've had it. Already had a cat upchuck on it and it cleaned right up with no staining. I didn't even have to use a spot cleaner. The wool seems to have a naturally water repellant quality to it!
I get lots of compliments on this rug. It is a pop of orange color in my house, but the orange is a bit muted, (more neutral) than a bold orange would be...very happy we bought it
Screen colors matched perfectly with real product. Colors are bright and cheerful but not garish. It adds a nice look to our log home. Delivery was very quick. It arrived double-packaged in heavy plastic.
Do not be afraid of the bright colors...they add life to any room...
This rug is so beautiful. I wish I had gotten the larger size instead. It is very plush. I did Scotch guard mine and it is beautiful in my bedroom. In the morning it is very comfortable to step on first thing and makes me smile when i look at it. It is a mood elevator and super plush at the same time. Would definitely buy again!
This carpet looked beautiful online, but when I opened it up at home I was thrilled. For the price I paid, I wasn't expecting such fine-quality product. Every guest to my home over the holidays remarked on the gorgeous carpet and wanted to know where I got it. I was happy to spread the good news about overstock.com.
This rug is very pretty and gets lots of compliments. Our house is mainly neutrals, so it gives it just the pop of color it needs without being loud or neon looking. It's soft on bare feet and plush, especially with a pad under it. Only negative is the shedding.
Wasn't sure about ordering this as all reviews seemed to be from America And thought it may take ages. The process was so easy and has it within a week. Very pleased with the service and the rug looks amazing, great quality, have already recommended this company to my friends.

Each year NYSARC holds a Design Competition to adopt a new logo for their upcoming convention. This year a group of individuals at The Arc, Oneida-Lewis Chapter Neighborhood Center Day Habilitation program won the competition with their "60th Anniversary" logo design. The Center wanted their logo to show a great deal of symbolism and reflect the convention theme of "60 years of people, progress and potential."
The bridge is symbolic of a way to cross obstacles and how to handle those we face in everyday life. The cobblestone is a symbol of strength and endurance. The individuals on the bridge represent the 60th Anniversary and their own desires to continue to reach for new direction and fulfillment. The rainbow was chosen, because it is equated with the arc in the Oneida-Lewis logo, and for its beauty and color. The tree next to the water is a symbol of growth.
Representatives from NYSARC will present The Arc, Oneida-Lewis Chapter Neighborhood Center Day Habilitation program with a new laptop computer and a glass etching of their logo on December 2nd at 11:30a.m. at 616 Mary Street, Utica, NY.
