Customer Ratings:
I love this cleanser, ive used it for a couple years now. Works well with my combination skin. My issue lately with Paulas Choice is that I simply cant afford to be routinely ordering these products anymore. I use her BHA liquid as well as the earth-sourced moisturizer and I LOVE them. But I find I go through the moisturizer so quickly and since I order from Ontario, Canada, it is WAY too pricey in the long run with brokerage fee, shipping, etc. I don't want to switch brands but may have to.
This is literally one of the most gentle cleanser ever made. It is great for all skin types, and the cleaning ability is rated ~ 7.5/10. However, the only small flaw is its texture; it is too watery and could easily drip out of my hand.
I've been using Neutrogena ultra gentle face wash and had no problems with it, but wanted to try this. This takes off my makeup (Maybelling FIT, concealer and powder plus blush, etc). I usually wash 2x when I wear makeup even using the Neutrogena. I never see any remains on my cotton ball as I wipe with clear toner. This is nice, doesn't react with any of my other products and I would say it is very comparable to the Neut ultra gentle. Proper pH readies skin for treatments.
During my first use, I found myself disappointed that it didn't foam much and I wasn't a fan of the texture. Then as I rinsed my face, I was amazed by how clean my combination skin felt. A real gem of a product!
earlier, i've purchased PC skin balancing cleanser. though it did well to get rid of my cystic acne and break-outs it also left my skin dried and irritated.
earth sourced cleanser impressed me of how good it removes dirt and oil from the skin without irritating it to much. it also has a nice texture. though it is not effective as previous product in the acne war. this one does well for sensitive skin. so i will purchase it again with combination of another cleanser.
If you have drier skin, stick to the Skin Recovery or Moisture Boost cleansers.
This one is a foaming cleanser, which is what I used before I found Paula's Choice. It isn't drying, but it isn't moisturizing, either. So probably better for you if you don't need a little moisture out of your cleanser.
I find the SR and MB cleansers to be more soothing, as well.
I already had a cleanser I liked so when this came in my sample kit I wasn't really looking to convert and I'm still not. The gel cleanser has a light lather which is nice and does make your skin feel clean. There is a little bit of a sticky feeling after...not super smooth but other then that it was fine. I think it's a great option for those who want an organic cleanser that's good for your skin!
I'm obsessed with this cleanser. The first one I have EVER tried that removes all makeup without leaving my face red and tight. I just wish it came in a pump!
At first I liked it, I thought it was pretty gentle and does a decent job at cleaning. However, after using it for 2 weeks, I noticed that I was getting more and more tiny breakouts. I also noticed that my face was getting drier and started peeling (this was during May).
The product worked beautifully, easily took off makeup and left my skin feeling great. However, I just couldn't get over the smell. If they could neutralize or improve the smell I would make this my go-to cleanser.
Decided to try this after running out of my usual cleanser. While it does a good job of cleansing, it just does not control the oil on my face. I am going back to using the Skin Balancing Cleanser also from PC, that cleanser is amazing! It really controls my oily skin all day long.
I purchased this when it was on sale because I was not sure if it would dry my skin out. I am glad I tried it. I like to use a really basic cleanser in the morning that is not too moisturizing but not drying either. This worked well for me. It does not dry my skin out and seems like a pretty basic neutral cleanser. If I used it twice a day it might be a little drying but I use a creamy formula for pm. I especially like that it does not sting my eyes.
I have oily skin and prefer a gel type cleanser. I find this one cleans my skin well but doesn't leave it feeling dry. I like the fact that is has natural sourced ingredients and is very gentle. It doesn't even sting my eyes. Only negative is it's a bit pricey.
This was one of the first items I bought from Paula. It was on sale and I decided to give it a try though I didn't expect much. The texture of the liquid was a bit off putting to me but I used it and I really like it! It took the make-up off and it was very kind to my face. I am now trying the Skin Balancing cleanser but plan on switching back.
I've tried the Skin Balancing, Clear, and Hydralight cleansers, but this is my new favorite. I feel like it gets my slightly oily skin the cleanest. I had to wash my face twice with the other cleansers, but this one removed all my makeup (including mascara) the first time. Like all the PC cleansers I've tried, it doesn't sting my eyes or make my skin feel tight and dry.
This is one of the best cleansers I have tried. It feels gentle and leaves my face refreshed and smooth.
This cleanser is "okay" in warmer weather, but if the temp is below say 45-50 degrees it is a bit drying and not soothing enough. I have normal to dry/sensitive skin. However, the Earth Sourced toner is my favorite of all PC toners.
This all-natural cleanser feels so good on my combination skin - smooth and silky. People keep telling me how lovely my skin looks! The cleanser removes makeup effectively and effortlessly. I have cut down on my moisturizer because I find my skin doesn't get as dry as it did with the CLEAR cleanser. My only complaint is that the bottle dispenses more cleanser than needed through the large hole in the cap, so I end up going through it a lot faster than Paula's other cleansers.
I use this every day with a disposable buff puff pad. I usually prefer traditional soap that lathers. This doesn't lather as much as I prefer. This cleanser does an amazing job at cleansing my skin. It removes make-up, oils without stripping my skin. I usually buy the Philosophy brand exfoliating cleanser at $60 a bottle. This product is sooooo much cheaper and I got it half priced.
Simply the best cleanser I've used. I normally prefer creamy cleansers but this one is perfect. It doesn't strip the skin and the toner is a great compliment. I really hadn't expected this product to be so terrific and now I'm done hunting or trying other products.
I held off on buying this for a while, preferring the All Over body shampoo to wash my face. I have tried most of Paula's cleansers in the 10 years I have been shopping her products (exclusively). But boy am I glad I gave this a go. The texture when washing is unlike the other cleansers--very hard to describe, but silky and smooth. It doesn't lather, but I don't mind. It also removed makeup better than any of the others and left my skin soft. So I bought another bottle to stock up. Love this!
A long time user of Skin Recovery cleanser, I finally tried this line. Now I'm stuck with an unopened bottle of the skin recovery because this stuff is fantastic! Zero breakouts for the first time in my 50+ years. Will give a set to my 16yo old niece who also suffers from sensitive skin.
Wish the bottle was larger and a flat cap would help to get that last ounce out. Not a big fan of the shade of green, but glad it's not a girly color so my nephew will be willing to try it too
I wanted this cleanser to be "the one" because it's made from nearly all natural ingredients, advertised as soothing for sensitive skin, and received many highly positive reviews. However, the sad fact is that it dries out my already dried out face. Too bad. Back to trial and error.
Hi there! We're sorry the Earth Sourced Cleanser wasn't a fit for you; it sounds as if you would be better suited to our Skin Recovery Collection, which is designed for those with dry to very dry skin types. Please contact our Customer Care Team for assistance with a return/exchange, as well as samples to experiment with.
I really like this cleanser. It's main features for me is that is removes all makeup, including eye makeup. A little drop is all you need to remove foundation and eye makeup, even for very oily skin like I have. Very gentle, yet very effective and does help remove daily oil in order to moisturize properly afterwards. I am new to Paula's Choice and will be buying lots of products more often!
I purchased this face wash while it was on sale and ended up LOVING it as a BODY wash instead! I normally use PC's CLEAR cleanser as I have oily/ combination + sensitive + acne-prone skin! Hardly anything works! While CLEAR is still my go to face wash (LOVE IT), this Earth Sourced Cleansing Gel is my go to body wash when I shower, and doubles as a face wash (kill two birds with one stone) WITHOUT any problems!!! I absolutely LOVE this Earth Sourced Cleanser!!! I wish it's regular price was less.

10 Easy "No-Workout" Workouts
Getting in shape doesnt have to be a major chore. Sneak these easy get-fit ideas (courtesy of Gold's Gym) into your life, and you wont even notice youre doing anythinguntil you start to see the payoff!
By Neha Gandhi
Tooth Brush Wall Squats
Instead of standing over the sink while youre brushing your teeth, stand against a wall with your legs extended out about two feet from the wall. Slowly bend your knees to slide down the wall until you reach a seated position.
Extra How-To Details: Start out holding the squat position for 30 seconds (working your way up to a minute). Then, stand up, take a quick break and repeat until youre done brushing your teeth (two to three minutes in total).
How Often Should You Do It: Do it every time you brush your teethso at least twice a day!
The Payoff: This is the best way to tone your butt and your legs in a short amount of time.
Just Remember: Make sure your back is flat against the wall and your knees are positioned behind your toes!
Study in Motion
Cramming for a test or getting through some reading? Take your notes or text book to the gym and do it while walking on a treadmill or a stair climber (It doesnt have to be super-fastjust keep the pace brisk!).
How Often Should You Do It: Try to do this for 20-30 minutes at a time, two or three times a week.
The Payoff: On top of burning calories, this kind of cardio activity increase blood flow to your brain, so youre actually more likely to remember what youre reading or trying to memorize!
Just Remember: Dont trip!
Ride Your Bike to School!
Forget the school busget a sneaky workout in on the way to school, and youll start the day with an endorphin high!
How Often Should You Do It: At least three times each week
The Payoff: Biking is one of the easiest ways to get your heart rate up. Not only is it a great way to rev up your metabolism and burn some extra calories, but it can also tone your entire body (not just your legs!). Another major benefit: youll save a ton of gas money if youre not driving!
Just Remember: If youre new to cycling, start slowly, and gradually build up your endurance.
Commercial Break Mini-Workout
Next time the ads start during Glee, instead of fast-forwarding the DVR, get off the couch and try a Star Pass. Start in a standing position with your arms over your head, holding the remote control in between both hands. Bend to your right, lifting your left leg off the ground so that your body looks like a star. Then repeat to the left.
Extra How-To Details: Hold the position on each side for three to five seconds and keep switching back and forth until the commercial break ends!
How Often Should You Do It: Try doing it during at least half of the commercials that come on during every hour-long TV show you watch!
The Payoff: This is a total body workout and great for toning up your legs and abs!
Just Remember: Keep your core tight the whole time youre moving from side to side, to work your abs as much as possible!
Curls in Class
The next time youre sitting at your desk in class, try an isometric curl. Place your left hand on your right forearm, with your palm facing up. Push down with your left hand, while simultaneous pulling up with your right armthe equal force will keep both arms in place, so that there will be no movement, but youll feel burn.
How Often Should You Do It: Hold each arm for 15 seconds at a time, for two sets. Do it twice a week.
The Payoff: Tone your entire arm for a little extra definition.
What Should You Keep in Mind When Youre Doing: Make sure you dont overexert yourself.
Load up Your Bag
You need a ton of stuff at school anyway, so increase the weight in your bag by adding some extra books or super-light weights.
How Often Should You Do It: This works for weekdays. Try doing it on every school day.
The Payoff: The extra weight will increase the workout (and the calories you burn) whenever youre walking around.
Just Remember: Dont make your bag so heavy that its going to cause a strain on your back. Also, if you carry your bag on one shoulder, make sure to alternate sides frequently so that all the weight is not being put on one side.
Super-Sneaky Ab Workout
When youre in class (or at a movie or even a football game), and not taking notes, work on your abs. Sit up straight and squeeze your abs tight. Nobody will even know youre doing it!
Extra How-To Details: Start off by holding the contraction for 30 seconds. Thats one set. Now repeat four times, with a minute between sets. As you get stronger, increase the number of sets you do during one class.
How Often Should You Do It: Three times a week.
The Payoff: Get a little bit closer to that dream six-pack. Plus, the stronger your abs are, they better your posture iswhich means you look taller and your butt looks a little bit perkier, even when youre just standing around.
Just Remember: You want to squeeze hard, but dont overdo it. And remember to breathe!
Park Far Away
Next time you hit the mall, try parking in the back. Not only will you save yourself the time you normally spend circling for a great spot, but youll also burn some extra calories walking to your favorite stores.
How Often Should You Do It: Whenever you have time to spare and are making a trip to the mall (or anywhere with a parking lot).
The Payoff: Burn extra calories!
Just Remember: Keep your pace at a brisk walk. And make sure youre wearing sneakers or flats, not heels!
Deskside Ab Swivels
The next time youre doing homework, take a little break and stand up, placing your arms in front of you on your desk, bracing your upper body, and keeping your core engaged. Slowly rotate your hips 90 degrees to the right. Come back to center, and then repeat going 90 degrees to your left.
How Often Should You Do It: Do 15 repetitions on each side, for five sets, once a day.
The Payoff: Toned abs and a more defined waist. Bonus: This move will help with flexibility too!
Just Remember: Rotate through the movements slowly, staying in control the entire time.
Dance Your Butt Off!
Next time youre at a party, dont just stand around talking to friends. Be the first to get up and get the dancing startedits the ultimate in fun cardio!
How Often Should You Do It: Try and keep yourself moving for an hour at a time, ideally twice a week (you dancing in your room in front of the mirror counts too).
The Payoff: Burn calories, tone your legs and butt, and increase your flexibility.
Just Remember: Have fun!

Blog Entry:
April 01, 2013 11:22 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
In October 2011, the Houston Texans
announced a new, 10-year radio rights deal
in which the club took most of the operations in house.
The Texans, according to the
Sports Business Journal
, continued "the trend of NFL clubs forgoing radio rights deals" in exchange for being able to control more of the message and package their advertising spots with other team inventory.
Considering that, beginning in 2014,
estimates NFL teams will divide nearly $7 billion per year in media money (television contracts, a national radio rights agreement with Westwood One, plus deals with DirectTV and the NFL Network), the Texans' move makes perfect sense.
It also makes
the Browns' unique radio deal
all the more noteworthy.
Yes, the Browns are the first NFL team to have two all-sports stations with different owners as radio partners.
They were also able to sell long-term rights
have a similar amount of programming hours as teams such as the Texans — clubs that gave up charging for the rights because they wanted more airtime.
The Texans' deal with CBS Sports Radio in Houston includes nine hours of broadcast time on game days, plus 15 hours a week during the season and coverage of at least once a week in the offseason.
The Browns' contract with CBS Radio and Good Karma Broadcasting includes a four-hour official team pregame show and a two-hour postgame show, plus a weekly coach's show and two-hour "Cleveland Browns Daily" program every weekday.
Assuming Rob Chudzinski's coach's show — which will air on WKRK-FM, 92.3; and WKNR-AM, 850 — is one hour, the Browns will have 11 hours of weekday programming. That's year-round, not just in-season, as the Texans' deal is, and the total doesn't include the practically around-the-clock coverage on game days.
The non-stop chatter about a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game since 1994 is the reason
the Browns' previous radio rights deal
with Clear Channel was among the highest in the league.
In an interview last week, Browns president Alec Scheiner said the team will work with WKNR and WKRK in deciding the lineup of announcers for the pre- and postgame shows. The in-game crew of Jim Donovan, Doug Dieken and Jamir Howerton remains unchanged, and Browns senior editor Vic Carucci is still the host of "Cleveland Browns Daily."
The Fan and WKNR will continue to criticize the team during their daily shows and their "unofficial" pre- and postgame shows (The Fan will have a pregame show, but it won't be the "official" Browns pregame show, and the same will apply to WKNR following the contest). But for more than nine hours on game day (the game broadcast, plus the official team shows) and 11 hours during the week, the team will have a much rosier picture being portrayed on the airwaves.
That's true of any professional team broadcast that features local announcers.
Only in the Browns' case, there will be more of it, and there still will be rights fees involved.
It pays to be the biggest game in town.
Talking Tribe
On Jan. 29,
the Indians and Clear Channel
announced a new five-year radio rights agreement.
The Tribe will remain on WTAM-AM, 1100, at least through 2017, and this season the team will have 144 of its 162 games simulcasted WMMS-FM, 100.7.
In an interview last week, Good Karma Broadcasting president and CEO Craig Karmazin said his company was interested in acquiring the Tribe's radio rights, but didn't want such a pursuit to diminish its chances of getting a deal done with the Browns.
"We love the Indians and have such respect for them," Karmazin said. "Knowing that we wanted to offer the Browns the ability to be the No. 1 priority on our station, we didn't think it would be right and in good faith to talk to the Indians. We didn't think we would make the most sense for them if they weren't going to be our top priority."
Tom Herschel, the market manager for CBS Radio in Cleveland, said The Fan did pursue the Indians' radio rights, but like WKNR, the Browns were believed to be the station's No. 1 priority.
"We absolutely were in conversations with the Indians," Herschel said. "We would have been honored to have them as partners."
Not even close
Last Monday,
we wrote about the increasing number of blowouts in the NCAA men's basketball tournament
Well, the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight didn't live up to their reputations, either.
The average margin of victory in the eight Sweet 16 matchups last Thursday and Friday was 10.8 points. The only game decided by fewer than eight points was Ohio State's 73-70 win over Arizona, and six of the eight contests were double-digit victories.
The regional finals were even worse.
The average margin of victory in the four games Saturday and Sunday was 15.5 points.
Again, Ohio State provided the majority of the drama, as the Buckeyes' four-point loss to Wichita State was the only Elite Eight game that wasn't decided by at least 16 points.
The updated 64-game 2013 tournament tally: Forty-one of the contests (64.1%) have been decided by double figures.
Again, there are plenty of factors that have damaged the quality of play in the tournament.
The Final Four has only one No. 1 seed and is comprised of a pair of No. 4 seeds and a No. 9, but I still miss the Madness.
You can
follow me on Twitter
for sports information and analysis, but not nearly as much Browns coverage as WKNR and The Fan

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

This is a great wine but I have already spent enough $$$ this year. Decisions....
Scott Harvey 2009 InZINerator 6-Pack
2009 InZINerator
CT link above
Any idea of the drinking window on this?
Effectively the same price as the offering in April. At about $14 shipped to your door, this is a good deal.
Scott is a great winemaker - all about the wine and the craft. His wines are always a treat.
This Zin is big and fat and round and smooth...and slighly sweet...not the tannic dry finish you find with some zins. So I call this my "party zin" - works well with grilled meats, burgers and such. Also good for folks who prefer fruit forward reds.
bcudone wrote:Any idea of the drining window on this?
I've gone through a couple of bottles since April - it is drinking well now - balanced and integrated. I think that is the way Scott intended it - pop, pour, drink now.
I am going to hold some and see how it evolves over the next year or so.
Is CT in or out? It's listed with the ship to states but I get a message it can't be shipped there when I try to order.
I curse you woot!
There is no way I have space for this, but you find a soft spot in my defense system.
On the bright side I don't have to horde the 1 bottle I have left of this.
Ugh... In for 1.

Yeah I am getting the same thing, Where's the firestorm??

We, or our palates, disagree on this one. I tried one of these in September and I think it needs some more time in the bottle to integrate. We may just have different tastes though.
As for how long you can cellar this, It should have no problem easily going another 3-5 years and probably much longer. I have some of the 07 which is just now really hitting its stride.

Update: CT is out. Sorry!
inkycatz wrote:Update: CT is out. Sorry!
PM for you.
They have shipped to Maryland before. What's up?
damorere wrote:They have shipped to Maryland before. What's up?
I don't believe Scott currently has licenses for CT or Maryland and has stated before that he doesn't expect that to change any time soon. Too expensive and time consuming for him. If you call his tasting room and ask for Jana, they will typically try to make other shipping arrangements for you through various distributors. Good luck.
Is VA out too?
$18 a bottle at the winery website
Tax to NY $7.56
Shipping to NY $28.95
Great Deal for the East Coast!
ras5gkebt wrote:Is VA out too?
Read why Virginia might be out of the game for awhile!
I prefer the peppery zins with a tannic finnish like so many Ive tried from the Paso region. Maybe this one's not for me ?
North316 wrote: Ready why Virginia might be out of the game for awhile!
Suddenly thinking of moving.
Interesting that NC is on the list now, when in a previous offering it wasn't. I know Scott ships to NC, but there was an issue shipping the InZin due to stick-in-the-mud legislators thinking the superhero label would appeal to kids.
This and Big Ol' Cataclysm's are the only two things my woot! Watcher is set to auto-buy. And I will continue to auto-buy InZINerator, without question, for as long as it is produced. This is by far one of my favorite wines for anytime sipping and sharing with friends.
In for one, but only one b/c I don't have room for more... :-(
bcudone wrote:Any idea of the drinking window on this?
Sorry I did not get on before it sold out. Drinking window is about 10 years, so I would say up through 2019.
I accelerated the demise of this woot by jumping in for three, with barely a thought about it. InZinerator is my all-time favorite, and I've been waiting with baited breath for it to appear again.
My Christmas will now be considerably merrier, thanks to SH and Woot!
Nooooooo! Missed it! Arrrrgggh!
Mine will arrive today. Fastest wine woot ever...just 4 days !

There are over 300 students from 7 high schools in eastern Connecticut registered for this unique experience and we are looking for volunteer support to bring the Fair to them.
Sign up, put on that lime green T-shirt and let's give back to the students at the May 21st Financial Reality Fair!
To volunteer, please contact Barb Bass at firstname.lastname@example.com.
NCUA's Letter to Federal Credit Unions #11-FCU-02, issued in February of 2011, requires that directors of FCUs "must have at least a working familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices, including the ability to read and understand the credit union's balance sheet and income statement."
It continues, "A director must understand these financial statements to participate in a meaningful manner in the direction and control of the institution."

• The risks: credit, liquidity, interest rate, compliance, strategic, transaction, and reputation
• Peer analysis
• Internal controls
• Asking the right questions
The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the implementing regulation, Regulation Z, is a significant part of lending compliance. This session will be an introduction to TILA and Regulation Z, covering definitions, open-end loan disclosure requirements, closed-end loan disclosure requirements, as well as the special requirements for mortgages and credit cards.

Please join us for a webinar to discuss Prize-Linked Savings (PLS) opportunities in Connecticut on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
To register please contact Susan O'Loughlin at firstname.lastname@example.com.
During the 2013 legislative session, the CT General Assembly passed a bill that allows credit unions to offer savings promotion raffles – savings products that offer prizes in order to incent increased savings activity. Connecticut is the 8thstate to pass similar legislation, following in the footsteps of Nebraska, Rhode Island, Washington, North Carolina, Maryland, Maine, and Michigan.As financial institutions, you are acutely aware of the importance of savings as part of someone's financial portfolio.
The webinar will feature Doorways to Dreams Fund, a national non-profit that has been providing technical assistance, advice, and evaluation for PLS products around the country. In this webinar, we will cover:
- The basics of PLS
- Overview of Connecticut law
- Success/Impact in other states
- Implementation considerations/how-tos
Please join us for a great conversation. Attending this webinar is not considered to be an indication of commitment to offer the product – the goal of the meeting is to get a shared understanding of the opportunity, discuss options in Connecticut, and see what credit unions would like to explore a prize-linked savings product. Please share this invitation with any relevant staff or other credit union partners.
For more information about savings promotion raffles/prize-linked savings products, the experience in Michigan with Save to Win, and additional new research, please visit

We are pleased to announce the 2014 Compliance Training Workshops and Webinar series. Hosted by the Credit Union League of CT and facilitated by the experts at M&M Consulting, LLC, these training workshops and webinars will provide comprehensive understanding of upcoming regulatory changes and assist in providing exciting solutions to the regulatory difficulties Connecticut credit unions are faced with.
This year, in an effort to maximize the benefits of this invaluable guidance, the league will provide the opportunity to attend the webinar portion of the series from the convenience of your credit union. As always, the league is happy to provide the webinars at our office in Meriden at no cost to our affiliated credit unions. If however, you are interested in attending from your credit union, the registration fee is $89.00 per webinar/per incoming telephone line. You may have as many employees who wish to take advantage of any particular webinar attend from your credit union provided they are on the same telephone line for this small cost. Registration to attend either option is required.
M&M Consulting, LLC experts will also serve as facilitators in the Workshop portion of this series. These experts are secure in their knowledge, and confident of their ability to convey pertinent compliance information. Affiliated credit unions will leave our Workshop training sessions with an understanding of how to meet the challenges they face in today's regulatory environment. The workshops are available to our affiliated credit unions at no additional cost. Dates will be announced and registration is required.
The first webinar in the series focuses on the confusion around the new mortgage regulations. It is scheduled for Wednesday, March 5th 9:00 am – 11:00 am and will provide comprehensive understanding on how these rules affect the mortgage products and services you provide your members, as well as how to comply with the regulations. This is a great opportunity to obtain additional guidance now that the rules have taken effect and the need for implementation grows with more intensity.

COMMERCIAL Flooring | USA & Canada
|You are here: Commercial Flooring > Planning & Design
Educational/Institutional - Multipurpose Room Flooring
The demands placed on multipurpose room flooring require a surface that is slip- and stain-resistant, able to stand up to heavy foot traffic, and easy to clean. These spaces often serve as a cafetorium where meals run back-to-back with activities like performances, pep rallies, and meetings, or serve as auxiliary classrooms.
The high turnover and frequent use of a cafetorium requires multipurpose room flooring that cleans quickly and shows excellent wear resistance. Armstrong's portfolio of multipurpose room flooring includes LVT, sheet, linoleum, laminate, bio-flooring, and VCT in a full range of stimulating colors and fashionable designs for a memorable cafetorium.

These French brushes are especially notable for their handcrafted quality. All Isabey mongoose hair is hand-sorted. The exceptionally soft, natural hair is a great alternative to sable, and at at a fraction of the price in larger sizes. Mongoose is slightly stiffer than sable, but softer than bristle. The excellent spring, precision, and soft feel make them suitable for almost any technique in oil, acrylic, and watercolor.
This lush thick full-bodied Mongoose series brush is available in larger sizes than sable brushes. It's an excellent choice for glazing techniques. Isabey's maroon lacquered, long hardwood handles have nickel-plated ferrules.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Best Sword Ever, The
1. The Best Sword Ever
As he passed through the corridor and descended the stairs to the dining hall on the lower level, Thorongil rubbed the muscles of his neck with one hand to relieve the tension that had been growing there for the past several hours. The council session had been long, for there had been much to discuss concerning threats from the East and the South. Thorongil was pleased with the progress the Council had made this day, but it had not come easily. One man there was of the highest ranking who supported him in all his counsels, yet subtly opposed him on a personal level in such a way that even the most successful outcome of a discussion seemed bought at great cost.
Thorongil was a captain held in high esteem in the City, and he had the favor of the Ruling Steward, Ecthelion. This was a hard thing for his opponent to accept, who seemed ever to take second place in the affections of his father and his people. Thorongil could hardly blame him for this feeling of rivalry, though it made matters difficult at times. He did what he could to be seen only as the servant of the Steward, and no man's rival.
He wished for more time now, to build some trust between himself and Denethor, son of Ecthelion -- but matters were moving in the East, and new danger from the South now threatened this land he loved. There was no time left for niceties. Perhaps there had never been any hope of trust between the two men, though he wished it could be otherwise. Thorongil had often caught the sharp, questioning glance of the Steward's son upon him, and wondered if Denethor's shrewd mind had guessed the truth of his identity. That would be more than enough to explain his antagonism, setting aside any ill will he might also feel at the praises his father Ecthelion extended to his favorite captain, rather than his own son.
Thorongil sighed heavily and shrugged away his gloom.
Soon it will be time to move on, he thought. Then affairs shall go on as they will.
He turned a corner and entered the dining area for the Tower Guard. Some of the men hailed him as he entered, and he nodded to each of them in turn. One of the Guard approached him, and laying a hand on his arm, the man stayed Thorongil's progress towards the table where a late afternoon meal was laid.
"Someone is waiting to see you, sir."
Thorongil looked in the direction indicated by the guard, and saw a child sitting on a bench against the wall, swinging his legs and squirming impatiently. A plate of untouched food was set beside him. A guard stood at attention by his side, but the child ignored him. At the sight of Thorongil, a look of happy relief flashed across the child's face, and he waved a hand in greeting. Thorongil nodded to the guard and crossed the room to where the child sat.
"Frongil! I want to talk! But everyone says 'no time, too busy!'" the child announced plaintively.
A scowl twisted his features briefly, before he looked up hopefully at the tall captain.
"Can you talk? Are you 'too busy?'"
He spoke with the slight lisp of a child only a few months past his second birthday, yet his voice was high and clear, and his speech was amazingly well-formed for one so young. Thorongil smiled; he expected no less from the son of Denethor, heir to Ecthelion, Steward of Gondor.
"No, Boromir," Thorongil replied, extending his hand to the child. "I am not 'too busy.' I am happy to talk with you, if you wish it."
Boromir clambered down from his perch upon the bench.
"Take me to the wall," he demanded. "Want to look out."
The child reached up to grasp Thorongil's hand.
"Please?" he added as an afterthought, as if suddenly remembering a lesson he had been learning. "Please!" he said again, and grinned mischievously.
"Very well," Thorongil agreed with a laugh, and nodded towards the plate of food on the bench. "Bring those apples with you. The wall is a good place for sharing a meal."
He turned to the man who had been attending Boromir, as the child snatched up several apples and stuffed them down the front of his tunic. "If anyone comes seeking the lad, let them know he has gone with me to the Embrasure."
"Aye, Captain, sir."
'The wall,' as Boromir had called it, had only one meaning for the child, and Thorongil knew what that was: the Embrasure, a recess along the wall of the uppermost level of the City that stood atop the spine of the mountain, jutting eastward like the keel of a great ship. From that place upon the wall, one could look down over seven levels of the City of Minas Tirith, to the Great Gates seven hundred feet below. Or, one could look out across the gleaming waters of the Anduin to the darkness of the Mountains of Shadow in the East, ever backlit by the red glow of fire that was never quenched. Boromir faced either vista with the unquestioning bravery of a child who as yet had not learned fear.
As they approached the Embrasure, Boromir ran ahead, but the wall was more than three times his height and smooth, with no foothold, so that he could not climb it unaided to see over the edge. As Thorongil approached, the child turned and held up his arms.
"Up!" Boromir said imperiously. "Want to feel the wind."
Thorongil complied, and lifted the child in his arms. They stood together, looking out over the City, and the wind that snapped in the banners above them lifted their hair and blew it about so that it stung their faces. Boromir laughed and held his arms out to the wind, then leaned out in Thorongil's arms, to look down at the City below. The wall was wide, so he could not quite see over the edge, and Thorongil would not allow him to lean too far out. Yet still he could see the Great Gate far below, and men like insects on the road beyond the city walls, and further afield, the orchards and homesteads dotting the countryside all the way down to the River. Boromir laughed again, and was content.
At last, Thorongil set him down. Boromir pushed his windblown hair away from his face with an impatient gesture, and sat down, leaning his small, straight back against the wall. Thorongil sat next to him, his long legs stretched out straight in front of him. Boromir dug out an apple for each of them, and they ate in silence.
"What did you wish to talk about, Boromir?" Thorongil asked, after a time.
"Wish I had a sword!" sighed Boromir fervently. He solemnly contemplated the apple core in his hand, then stuck it in his tunic.
Thorongil looked at the child beside him, and tried to keep from grinning.
"You will have your sword, one day," he answered.
"Gran'fa says I get his sword when he is done keeping it," Boromir said proudly. "But I must grow taller first."
Boromir frowned as he looked at his short legs, resting next to Thorongil's long ones. "Maybe nex' week I'll be big enough."
There was another silence, broken at last by Boromir, his small brow furrowed in thought as he tried to find the right words to speak his mind.
"Gran'fa told me 'bout a" -- here the child stammered on a new word -- "brok'n..." He looked up into the tall captain's face for confirmation. "Brok'n?"
"Yes, you said that well. Do you know what it means?"
"Yes, but that word is just hard to say right."
"Try it again. Broken."
Boromir tried again. "Bro-ken."
Boromir beamed his pleasure as Thorongil rewarded him with a smile . "Very good," the man chuckled. "Please go on."
Boromir started over. "Gran'fa told me 'bout a bro-ken sword. A great King had it. He fought the Evil Dark Lord."
"Oh?" replied Thorongil slowly.
Boromir nodded earnestly, never taking his eyes from Thorongil's face.
"And what did he say about this broken sword?"
"He said it was... special." Boromir stumbled slightly over the last word, then frowned in concentration, as if trying to remember all that had been said about the sword in question. He looked up again. "Yes, special! He said 'twas the best sword ever!"
"Yes," Thorongil agreed, with a secret smile. "It is the best sword ever..."
Boromir heaved another sigh, and Thorongil could sense the child's regret at not having such a sword for his own. Boromir's next words confirmed it.
"Wish I had the best sword ever," he said wistfully.
Suddenly Boromir frowned.
"But how?" he asked plaintively. "How can it be the best sword if it's broken? A broken sword's no good!"
Thorongil looked thoughtfully at the child next to him.
"I know of a sword," he replied with care, "broken, like the sword your grandfather told you about. It is a good sword, though it be broken. Someday it will be repaired... reforged! Then it will be a good sword."
"The best sword ever?"
"Perhaps; perhaps it will be such a sword."
"Will you show it to me then?" asked Boromir eagerly. "I want to see it!"
Thorongil smiled at the light in the child's eyes, but his tone was grave and serious when he spoke.
"I hope that I will be able to show it to you, Boromir, one day..."
Footsteps echoed in the recess where they sat. The two companions scrambled to their feet, and the child ran forward with a happy cry to meet the man who approached from across the Court of the Fountain.
"I was talking to 'Frongil," Boromir explained to his father. "He let me look over the wall!"
"Yes, my son," replied Denethor, glancing briefly at Thorongil. He took Boromir's small hand in his, and with his other hand he smoothed back the child's windblown hair. "I saw you speaking with the Captain, and it is quite clear you have been looking over the wall."
Boromir grinned happily and gripped his father's hand tightly.
"Come, Boromir," said Denethor as he began to lead the child away. "The Captain is a busy man, and he has no more time for you now. He has important things to discuss with your grandfather."
Denethor turned slightly and spoke to Thorongil.
"My father is asking for you," he said shortly. "You will find him once more in the Council Chambers."
Thorongil nodded and bowed.
"I shall attend him directly, my lord."
Boromir looked back over his shoulder at Thorongil, as he trotted away beside his father. As the child lifted his hand in a goodbye wave, their eyes met and held. Then Boromir turned away, and was gone.
Boromir sat quietly in the Council session, listening carefully and with interest to all that was being discussed. Now and then his eyes strayed to the others who sat with him on the porch -- the Wizard Gandalf, with whom he was somewhat acquainted from his visits to Minas Tirith over the years; several Dwarves from the Northern Lands, and a number of Elves, not all of whom were of Elrond's house; the Halflings, whom he still regarded with wonder; and a tall, lean Man sitting alone, clad in a Ranger's travel-worn clothing. Elrond had implied that it was not chance which had seen them all gathered here on this day, and so, though he had been told their names, Boromir pondered who these others might be, and what tidings they brought: of war, of strange dreams -- or of approaching Darkness.
Even as he listened and observed and pondered, Boromir was aware of the constant rustle of the trees in the valley of Rivendell and the faint singing of Elves in the distance, and the music of water rushing over many falls. At times, a note in the water's music would remind him of Minas Tirith, remind him of the sound of the wind whistling in the Embrasure in the wall below the high tower of Ecthelion, and he was comforted amidst the strangeness of Elrond's valley.
He had only just arrived in Rivendell that morning, after a long, lonely journey through the wilderness. There had only been time to speak briefly of his errand to Elrond, who had assured him that answers would be forthcoming. Thus far, there had been much talk of the Ruling Ring and its history, but his questions remained, and as yet there were no answers to the riddle of his dream and the Sword that Was Broken.
Thoughts of the dream and the sword of which it spoke had scarcely crossed his mind when he heard Elrond begin to tell of Elendil's fall and the breaking of Narsil beneath him. Boromir's interest quickened. Now they were coming to matters which held more import than the mere recounting of interesting history; here was news, indeed! A broken sword in the hand of Isildur, a weapon still sharp enough to cut the Ring from Sauron's hand and thus overthrow him -- what a great wondrous sword that must have been when it was whole!
He heard a slight sound, as of a soft sigh of released tension, and his eye was drawn to the Man sitting alone in the corner. Glancing his way, Boromir saw that the Ranger was watching him closely, with a thoughtful expression upon his face. Their eyes met and held for a moment, then Boromir looked away as Elrond began to speak of things which touched upon him closely -- of Gondor and her long struggle in defiance of the Enemy.
"... to our sorrow the One has been found. Others shall speak of its finding, for in that I played small part."
Boromir stirred as Elrond ceased speaking. He stood up tall and proud before the assembly and raised his voice to speak.
"Give me leave, Master Elrond, first to say more of Gondor; for verily from the land of Gondor I am come. And it would be well for all to know what passes there. For few, I deem, know of our deeds, and therefore guess little of their peril, if we should fail at last."
He spoke then of the strength of Gondor as a bulwark of the West, keeping the terror of the East at bay. He spoke also of the need of Gondor, hard beset as the dark power of Sauron grew and continued to press them until they were swept away. And he told of the dream which had sent him upon a long quest for answers and counsel to serve Gondor's great need:
Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken
And the Halfling forth shall stand.
Even as Boromir ceased telling the tale of his desperate journey and his desire for counsel and clear answers to his riddle, the Ranger arose from his chair and stepped forward. Drawing his sword from its sheath, he cast it upon the table set before Elrond. The sword was broken in two pieces.
"Here is the Sword that was Broken!" he said in a calm, clear voice.
Boromir looked in amazement at the Man before him, wondering what this weathered Ranger could possibly have to do with him and his City.
"Who are you?" he asked doubtfully. "What do you have to do with Minas Tirith?"
An odd look of pain passed over the Man's face, but he said nothing. Instead, Elrond gave the answer.
"He is Aragorn son of Arathorn," said Elrond; "and he is descended through many fathers from Isildur Elendil's son of Minas Ithil..."
A wave of memory passed over Boromir as he heard the name Elendil and gazed upon the shards before him on the table. He heard in his mind the sound of a child's lisping voice, speaking of a king and a battle and a sword that was special:
"But how? How can it be the best sword if it's broken? A broken sword's no good!"
Indeed! Boromir thought with dismay. What good is a broken sword to me, though it be the sword of Elendil himself? Can it regain such strength as it once had, even if it were to be reforged? And will the hand of the one who makes this claim be sufficient to the task? I wonder...
"The Sword shall be reforged," he heard Aragorn say with calm assurance. "I will come to Minas Tirith."
Boromir looked at the Ranger keenly and at the broken sword upon the table, and he could not hide the caution in his eyes nor the doubt upon his face.
"...It is a good sword, though it be broken," Boromir heard a voice say; but it was only a memory, distant and vague. "Someday it will be repaired... reforged; and then it will be a good sword."
Perhaps, thought Boromir, with a slight shake of his head. But how will this help me? Can a sword such as this truly return from the shadows and stem the tide of war? I fear it cannot...
The eyes of the two Men met and held; then Boromir turned away.
Aragorn stood silent for a moment, lost in the memory of those eyes, that face.
He has the look of his father, he thought. So stern, so committed to seeing Gondor safe and strong! Boromir!
Aragorn watched as Boromir slowly returned to his seat, his heart still stinging from the sad shake of Boromir's head and the doubt in his eyes. He sighed as he recalled the boy who had once sought him out and hung upon his every word with wonderment and firm belief and trust. But Boromir did not turn back to acknowledge him; instead he sat heavily and turned his attention to Bilbo, who was speaking of his finding of the One Ring.
Aragorn silently took up the broken sword he had cast upon the table and returned it to the sheath at his side.
"...It is a good sword, though it be broken," he heard his own voice say, and though the words had been spoken many years before, they rang clearly in his ear as if they had been spoken but yesterday. "Someday it will be repaired... reforged; and then it will be a good sword."
"The best sword ever?" came the child's voice from out of the past.
"Perhaps; perhaps it will be such a sword."
"Will you show it to me then? I want to see it!"
"I hope that I will be able to show it to you, Boromir, one day..."
Aragorn touched the hilt of Narsil lightly as he turned and walked towards his own seat. He felt once more the doubtful eyes of Boromir upon him, and a sad smile briefly touched his lips.
"It is a good sword, Boromir," he said softly, so that no one else could hear. "It shall be reforged, for the time is now right. And I will show it to you as I promised. A sword repaired and whole, and mighty to stem the tide of war -- a good sword; the best sword ever!"

Cleveland Clinic wins raves as an innovator
Blog Entry:
December 27, 2012 10:59 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Even institutions at the very top of their field have room to innovate significantly.
Case in point: The
Cleveland Clinic
, which "is gaining new renown for innovation in improving the quality of care while holding down costs," according to
this editorial
The New York Times
"In its most fundamental reform, the Clinic in the past five years has created 18 "institutes" that use multidisciplinary teams to treat diseases or problems involving a particular organ system, say the heart or the brain, instead of having patients bounce from one specialist to another on their own," the newspaper writes.
On a recent visit to the Clinic,
The Times
says, its staff observed a team of a neurosurgeon, a neurologist, a neuroradiologist, a neurologist with advanced training in intensive care, a physical and rehabilitation doctor, a medical resident, a physical therapist and a nurse.
"As they made rounds from patient to patient, they had a portable computer that displayed electronic medical records so that the whole team could see how the patient was doing and plan the course of care for the day," according to
The Times
. "This team approach can improve the quality of care because all the experts are involved in deciding the best treatment option, which can save time and money."
As others have pointed out, the Clinic " has strong leverage to drive such reforms because its staff physicians are salaried and are granted only one-year contracts and subjected to annual performance reviews."
The Times
says the Clinic also sets the pace in data analysis to evaluate how well treatments work.
"For instance, the Clinic analyzed outcomes for heart surgery patients and found that those who had received blood transfusions during surgery had higher complication rates afterward and a lower long-term survival rate," according to the editorial. "As a result, it has adopted strict guidelines that limit the use of transfusions."
The Clinic's progress in restructuring itself, says
Michael Porter
, a Harvard professor who analyzes health care delivery and organizational change, is "light speed" compared with other institutions. He tells
The Times
that the Clinic is "a model of where we need to go. Not perfect, not done, but far along."
This and that
It's only fair, after linking yesterday to a CNNMoney.com list that named Cleveland-based
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.
as one of the worst-performing
500 stocks of 2012, to follow up with a link to
this Barrons.com post
that notes the mining company is having a nice end to a tough year.
Cliffs led the Standard & Poor's 500 index on Wednesday, and the price has risen 18% in December, according to Barrons.com. (Even with the late-year bounce, though, Cliffs is still off 42% this year.)
One reason for Cliffs' decline is concern about China's economy, Barrons.com notes, but "the good news is that China's slowdown won't last forever. When it awakens, so will the sector."
And the website points out that Cliffs pays dividends exceeding 5%. "That means you'll be paid while you wait for the rebound," according to the post.
, with its new Windows 8 operating system and Surface tablet to sell, opened 51 retail stores in 2012, and its
next batch
of six stores will include one at
Beachwood Place
in Beachwood.
Jonathan Adashek, Microsoft's general manager of communications and strategy, announced on the company's official blog that the first new stores in 2013 will be in malls in Beachwood, Miami, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, San Francisco and St. Louis. (Microsoft currently has just a kiosk in the Beachwood mall.)
"We look forward to opening the doors of these stores, and many others, where our direct connection with customers will be built one interaction and one relationship at a time," Mr. Adashek wrote.
No details yet on store opening dates.
Forbes.com generally takes a dim view of Cleveland in its various lists — jobs here are scarce, all our houses are in foreclosure, the air is filthy, etc. — so
here's your chance
to take a dim view of Forbes.com.
Eagle-eyed reader Ken Prendergast, executive director of
All Aboard Ohio
, an advocacy group for rail travel in the state, points out that the website's data page includes the following description of our city:
Cleveland is home to several industries, including household cooking equipment, textiles, furniture, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and automotive parts. Cleveland State Community College and Lee University are also based in Cleveland. Cleveland is the location for the corporate headquarters of Life Care Centers of America, the largest privately held nursing facility company in the U.S. Its location provides numerous tourist attractions including whitewater rafting, mountain climbing and shopping within the urban parts of town.
That doesn't sound like the Cleveland you know, does it? Well, it would if the Cleveland you knew was Cleveland,
, which is indeed home to Cleveland State Community College, Lee University, Life Care Centers of America and other institutions.
Sounds like a fun place. It's just not our place.

We had a house fire and the other pillows I had from Dayspring were damaged. So, I wanted something different. These are perfect.
I bought this as a gift. The verse is wonderful, the pillow is large, and the colors are bold and beautiful. If I had a place for it, I'd want one for myself.
This pillow reminds me of God's incredible peace, which I needed after major surgery.
Well made, great inscription. Substantial.
A beautiful accent to my sitting room. This pillow proclaiming His Peace, blesses my guests. Thank you, Dayspring!
