The construction of the New Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital consists of seven phases. Phase 4 was completed in 2011, and patients were moved into the new wings in February 2012.
The rest of the project entails demolishing and rebuilding part of the existing hospital building, which will connect to the new buildings. These last few phases should be completed in 2018.
Watch an animation of the next phases of construction
What's next?
Phase 5: Winter 2014
Numerous areas in the original hospital were vacated when the new wings were occupied in February 2012, marking the beginning of Phase 5. See map of Phase 5 work >>
Phase 5 consists mostly of preparation for, and demolition of, several buildings in phases, which clears the path for future construction (Phase 6) in late 2015.
Demolition of the North Wing (Building F) is expected to be completed by April 2013. After that work is complete, we will begin work on a small "link building" (3,300 sq. ft.) which is expected to begin in June 2013 and be completed by August 2014. This link building will provide a connection between our original hospital and the recently completed Patient Pavilions.
Construction on Phase 5 of the new Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital continues with:

We Are A Team
The Surgical Services and Anesthesia departments partner with our surgeons to coordinate excellent care to our patients and their families – from registration to discharge.
About Us
When Surgery is the Answer
Wayne Memorial Hospital's Surgical Services Department is comprised of experienced surgeons and a highly skilled team of medical professionals all working together with one common focus – the patient and family.
We offer a full range of surgical specialties, to include general surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, reconstructive surgery and urological surgery.
Patient Safety
Our surgical teams perform 14,000 procedures and are proud that we maintain an almost 100 percent patient satisfaction and a very low surgical site infection rate (SSI).
As part of our patient safety focus, we adhere to the the criteria set forth in the Surgical Care Improvement Project, a national initiative focused on reducing preventable surgical complications.
What to Expect
Preparing for Surgery
Your health care team at Wayne Memorial Hospital is dedicated to providing exemplary, compassionate care. Comprehensive preparations for surgery depend on your diagnosis and will be discussed with you by your physician. The following general guidelines will help guide you through the surgery and recovery process. Please share this information with your family and loved ones, as they are an important part of your preparation and recovery.
Helpful Guidelines
Surgical Services is located on the ground floor. From pre-op through recovery and discharge, inpatient or outpatient, our highly skilled staff of experts works side by side to provide an extraordinary level of care.
Registration and Insurance
If your surgery is covered by insurance, please have the following information available:
- Name of Insurance Company
- Group and ID Number
- Telephone Number to Verify Coverage
- Address to Mail Claims
- Referral, Precertification or Authorization Numbers
To learn more, please call 919.731.6549.
da Vinci® Robotic Surgery
Until recently, most surgeries meant very large and painful incisions, blood loss, and long recovery periods. Minimally invasive robotic surgery, using the da Vinci Surgical System and the experienced hands of our highly trained surgeons at Wayne Memorial Hospital, offers a vastly improved experience. This includes less scarring, less pain, higher efficiency for the surgeon, and more importantly, a faster recovery for the patient.
To learn more about surgery with da Vinci, call 919.731.6065 or click here.
Vein Care
Patients in need of vein care can find out more about services provided by board-certified surgeon Dr. Robert Albrecht by clicking here.
This website explains the different types of vein disorders and the many treatment options available
Barrett's Ablation Therapy
This procedure is often used for treatment of Barrett's Esophagus, a precancerous condition of the lining of the esophagus that can result from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). When left untreated, Barrett's Esophagus can turn cancerous. The endoscopic procedure delivers radiofrequency energy in a unique way that helps
ablate or remove unwanted, diseased tissue while minimizing injury to healthy esophageal tissue.
This procedure is considered to be a safer and faster treatment option for those with Barrett's Esophagus.
It is also used to treat gastric antral vascular ectasia (also known as GAVE or "watermelon stomach"), a condition in which the blood vessels in the lining of the stomach become prone to rupture and bleeding.
The procedure can also be used for treatment of radiation proctitis, a condition that
can occur following treatment for malignancies in the pelvic region, including prostate and cervical cancer.
Advance Directives/Living Wills
You have the right to make choices about your treatment or to name someone you
trust to make medical decisions for you. These decisions should be made in advance
of any medical or surgical procedure you may have performed. A brochure that outlines more information about advance directives will be provided to you.
To learn more about Advance Directives and Living Wills, please call 919.731.6407.

I prepared this dish for a (un)cooking class that I taught last week. You will have to forgive me for the photos. Because this was for a class, I made 60 sample servings and failed to make the grand-poobah dish for the photo shoot. My whole approach with this dish was to present a low glycemic recipe and not only did I accomplish that, it tasted wonderful to boot! I had oodles of fun making all the zucchini noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer in your kitchen, I highly recommend the investment. Not only do they make wonderful veggie noodles, they are a great way to get your kids to interact with you in the kitchen. To see their sweet little eyes brighten as they watch noodles form is just priceless. They will be so excited they might even like eating their veggies too!
Recipe adapted from: Practically Raw
Ingredients: yields 2 cups = 4 servings (1/4 cup)
Nutritional Value: (per 1/4 cup serving)
Be sure to serve it with Parme'nut'san Cheese!

Before the FDA decided to allow GMOs into food without labeling, FDA scientists had repeatedly warned that GM foods can create unpredictable, hard-to-detect side effects, including allergies, toxins, new diseases, and nutritional problems. They urged long-term safety studies, but were ignored.
Our goal is to stop the genetic engineering of our food supply.
Although the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) may be one of the most dangerous health and environmental problems we face, it can be one of the easiest of the battles to win. The key is found in the tipping point, whereby a small number of individuals can move the market, forcing GMOs out of our nation's food supply.
Even a small percentage of shoppers avoiding genetically modified (GM) brands is enough to trigger an industry-wide cleanout. It's been done before! The Europe Union reached a consumer- driven tipping point in April 1999 and within a single week, virtually all major manufacturers publicly committed to stop using GM ingredients in their European brands. This has kept GMOs out of food in the EU, in spite of government approvals. Similarly, consumer concern about possible links to cancer forced Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Kroger, Dannon, Yoplait and most of the 100 top US dairies to remove products from cows treated with genetically modified recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH or rbST).
It's time to turn GMOs into a marketing liability and reach the tipping point against all GM ingredients.
Our Campaign For Healthier Eating in America educates the public about the documented health risks of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with our GMO Health Risks brochure and provides a simple way for shoppers to find healthier non-GMO choices at the market with our Non-GMO Shopping Guide.
Already, 87 million consumers in the United States believe that genetically modified (GM) foods aren't safe and 159 million say they would avoid GMOs if given a choice. Biotech companies knew this, which is why they went to such great lengths to avoid having them labeled. By educating health-conscious shoppers about GM food dangers and providing clear choices, brands without GM ingredients will have the clear advantage. As millions switch to healthier brand choices based on GMO content, it is just a matter of time before the food industry responds.The critical number to reach the tipping point in the US could be as little as 5% - 15 million people or 5.6 million US households—simply switching brands to avoid GMOs as they shop. In 2009 Non-GMO labels became the fastest growing store label. And, everyday, more people are getting the facts, joining the Campaign, and buying Non-GMO. We've created the Non-GMO Shopping Guide online and the "ShopNoGMO" iPhone App free at the iTunes App store. Retail stores nationwide are displaying our Non-GMO Education Centers filled with books, DVDs, and free brochures that drive home the message that "Healthy eating starts with no GMOs."
Our Campaign has reached out nationwide to health conscious Consumers, Parents, Schools, Chefs, Healthcare Practitioners, Environmental and Faith-based Groups, and Food Manufacturers who are receptive to our message. Each of these groups alone is potentially large enough to achieve the tipping point of consumer rejection of GMOs in our entire US food supply. We welcome you (and your organization) to join us; we have a wide range of campaign materials on this website to help you efforts.
Our Action Tool Kit will lead you through the steps you can take to engage your community, helping build the Campaign's momentum by focusing the purchasing power of health-conscious shoppers like yourself.Together, we can reach the tipping point and push GMOs out of the entire food supply, protecting our health and the health of future generations.
If you have never heard about genetically modified organisms(GMOs), you may not know that they may be one of the most dangerous health and environmental problems we face. Animal studies show GMOs cause immune and insulin problems,organ damage, gastrointestinal dysfunction, accelerated aging, and higher death rates. Those risks have lead The American Academy of Environmental Medicine to ask physicians to advise all patients to avoid GM foods.
The Campaign's goal is push GMOs out of the entire food supply, protecting our health and the health of future generations.The key is creating a tipping point where a sufficient number of shoppers in the US avoid GM ingredients, and force major food companies to stop using them. We've already seen a tipping point in the use of genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH or rbST) in the U.S. Consumer concerns forced Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Kroger, Dannon, Yoplait and most of the 100 top US dairies to remove products from cows treated with rbGH or rbST. It's time to turn GMOs into a marketing liability and reach the tipping point against all GM ingredients.

A risk factor is anything that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop alcoholism with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing alcoholism. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
The following factors can increase your risk of alcoholism:
Alcohol abuse is five times more frequent in men than in women. Men are more likely to be binge drinkers and alcoholics than women. However, the incidence of alcoholism in women has been on the rise in the past 30 years. Women tend to become alcoholics later in life than men, but the condition has a faster progression in women.
Alcoholism tends to run in families. This has led researchers to conclude that a genetic predisposition to developing alcohol abuse problems may exist. The rate of alcoholism in men with no alcoholic parents is approximately 11%. For men with one alcoholic parent, the rate of alcoholism is approximately 30%. A family history of alcoholism is also seen in women, although the link is somewhat weaker.
Some studies suggest that genetic factors affecting the way people's bodies process and respond to alcohol may also influence an individual's risk of becoming an alcoholic.
Alcoholism is clearly more of a problem in some cultures than in others. For example, rates of alcoholism are high in Europe and the United States where alcohol consumption is common and socially acceptable. In American culture, alcohol is often used as a social lubricant and a means of reducing tension. In religious groups, such as Mormons or Muslims who abstain from drinking alcohol, the incidence of alcoholism is minimal. Higher rates of alcohol abuse and alcoholism are also related to peer pressure and easy access to alcohol.
Researchers have found that certain psychological factors increase an individual's risk for alcohol abuse and alcoholism. These factors include having high self-expectations, having a low frustration tolerance, feeling inadequate and unsure of one's roles, needing an inordinate amount of praise and reassurance, and having a tendency to be impulsive and aggressive.
Researchers have found high rates of alcohol abuse disorders among people with anxiety disorders, depression, antisocial and other personality disorders, schizophrenia, and other substance abuse disorders, such as smoking and illicit drug use. People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder also have a higher rate of alcoholism (and other substance use disorders), as do those with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Matterhorn will be celebrated in 2015. 150 years ago, on 14 July 1865, the first people stood on the summit. This is what is being celebrated – with the reopening of the Hörnlihütte, the Open-Air Theatre, an Epoch Week in July and many, many other festivities.
Zermatt is heaven for snow lovers. There are pistes for beginners, experts and everyone in between. Here in Europe's highest-altitude ski area, snow is guaranteed 365 days a year. For relaxation: winter hiking paths and snowshoe trails with views of the snowy Matterhorn.
Zermatt is the gourmet capital of the Alps. From simple fare in cosy mountain restaurants to haute cuisine with an international flavour, the choice is vast and the welcome is legendary. No wonder the same question keeps cropping up: why don't we stop for a bite?
Everyone should see the Matterhorn at least once in life. Funiculars, gondolas and cable cars carry you up to panoramic peaks. For the ultimate alpine adventures, experience the mountains with all your senses: hiking, climbing or trying something new. How about Paragliding?
Experiences at the foot of a glacier, on a green alpine meadow, at an idyllic mountain lake. Is it to be an unforgettable mountain tour – in the face of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the alps? Or an excursion to comfortably get to the top of a mountain peak?
Swim a couple of lengths of a pool, relax in a Jacuzzi, let yourself be pampered at a spa: Zermatt's oases of well-being are among the finest in the world. Nature, too, offers all kinds of soothing experiences – such as a swim in a mountain lake at 2,232 m with views of the Matterhorn.

You are on the right path, but you may want to do a bit of research on feeding raw (the BARF diet). Grains (wheat, oats, barley, etc...) are not necessary for dogs, and are actually not good for them. You may want to think about either feeding ground up egg shell, or feeding bones. If you do feed bones, they need to be RAW, not COOKED. That is important, because the cooked bones are the ones that splinter and cause damage. But our furry friends need calcium and fat in their diets.
I have done a lot of reading about diets after my 15 year old cat was diagnosed as diabetic. After changing him to a species appropriate diet, his need for insulin dropped dramatically. It was probably the commercial food that pushed him into diabetes in the first place. Grain allergies in dogs are fairly common, and aren't always diagnosed properly. I asked the vet why my dog had a bald stomach, the vet said that it was 'probably like male pattern baldness'. I am ashamed to say that I stumbled on the real reason by mistake, the poor guy had a wheat allergy. There were a few other things that he had been to the vet for (including seizures) that they had no answer for. Take the grain out of his diet, and he is fine. He is 12 years old now, pretty old for the breed, I treat his hip dysplasia with glucosamine.
Anyhow, I would really like to encourage you to do a bit of research to make sure that you are providing Neena with all that she needs.
Very true... too many people think that their pets need grain and fiber. Animal diets cannot be confused with what people eat, which is even more true for cats than dogs - cats are obligate carnivores. I get quite a few chicken and turkey livers, but I raise my own birds so it's basically readily available for me. I also just ordered a really nice meat grinder that can handle poultry bones, so soon I can swap over to a true BARF diet for my indoor cats.
Egg yolks do have a little fat in them, so that helps, too. Just curious, why don't you feed her the egg whites too (cooked of course)? I also let egg shells dry and run them through the blender to put out in the garden. I forgot about the calcium in the sardines... keep forgetting that it has bones in it.
The Importance of the Enzyme Factor Digestive enzymes are substances that nature put into the bodies of our pets (and our own bodies) to unlock the nutrition contained in food. Almost every process that goes on in the body requires enzymes. Enzymes are also found in plants and raw foods, in their natural state, to aid the body produced enzymes in doing their jobs.
This is especially important for our pets because they rarely eat anything in its natural state. Processed pet food contains no digestive enzymes because the enzymes are destroyed by the cooking and heating required in the manufacturing process. Since cooking kills the enzymes, there is nothing in your pets' food to help liberate the food's nutritional value.
Hence raw food as much as possible.
Homemade dog food. For 12 years we have made our own dog food from scratch and have had up to 45 dogs to feed. The cost of this great feed was around $10.00 per 100 lbs for years and years. Of course now everything has gone up so it's around $15.00 per 100 lbs for 26 percent protein and around 18 percent fat. Have a pack of foxhounds that we hunt from horseback (no - we don't kill!), and a pack of terriers - many rescues as farm dogs also. If you look at the ingredients in most bags of dog food - all you need to do is get all the ingredients together yourself from a rendering company for the meat and bone meal, fine ground corn, soybean hull pellets, ground alfalfa, corn gluten pellets, Diamond Yeast, ADE, calcium and di cal. We feed fresh organ meat all winter given by local butchers and have free grease all year round from a barbeque house. So if you are feeding lots of dogs - it can be done for half the price. sjp
Just curious, sjp... if you go to the trouble of making dog food, why put in the fillers like corn? Carnivores have a shorter digestive tract than herbivores and really don't need (and don't really process) grains such as corn, wheat, etc... Grains are also high on the list of allergens in pet foods.
I have a barn cat with a rice allergy, and a dog with a wheat allergy. If I were to try to make my own pet food, I would try to feed a natural grain free diet, not try to copy the 'balanced' feeds on the market.
I really don't mean to sound inflammatory, and apologize if it sounds that way... I am just trying to get an idea of why you add it.
No problem. Remember that we feed meat exculsively all winter.
The rest of the year - I have found that when the hounds are not hunting that it is important to have the hounds feel full and corn is an inexpensive filler with good carbohydrates. Corn is only about 10% of my mix and in most commercial feeds - it can be more than 50% of the total ingredients. I also add a little ground alfalfa as it seems that the hounds come out and "graze" if it is not in their feed.
One ingredient that is essential and not found readily in most prepared dog food is Diamond Yeast which is great for digestion and B vitamins. I forgot to say that I add a handful of ground beet pulp in their daily too. Feeding so many mouths - keeping costs down and quality up is the challenge. sjp
Ah... with their being 2 sources of corn listed, it sounded like there was a lot more. I do know that it is a source of carbs, I saw first hand how taking dry food away from a diabetic cat took his insulin needs from 5U 2x/day (total of 10 U per day) down to about .5U (1/2 U) every other day. I am not a huge fan of the fillers in the feed, but the small amount is definately better than the stuff ion the store.
Corn Gluten is in most dog foods and is about 18 percent protein. Regular fine ground corn is around 9 or 10 percent protein. Soybean hulls are also 18 to 19 percent protein and will be classified as "grain and grain by products" on most bags of dog food. The beet pulp and yeast are key to proper digestion - microbs and bacteria in the gut.
If one is feeding just a couple of dogs - then other recipes are good. But if you are feeding many large dogs - then you do the best you can with the resources available. All dogs here are vibrantly happy and healthy - bottom line. sjp

Honda's LOOP and HELLO vehicle2vehicle and vehicle2driver infrastructure
Article Summary
Honda issued a press statement and images of its Tokyo Motor Show exhibits yesterday, raising far more questions than it answered with the brief and cryptic release. One of the primary announcements involved a car2car and car2driver and car2infrastructure communications system named HELLO! (Honda ELectric mobility LOop) and a LOOP portable communication tool that fits in the palm of one's hand and "allows people and mobility devices to communicate with each other." The various components of the system look fascinating.

Depression and loneliness are not normal feelings as you age. Entering into your senior years doesn't mean having to deal with fatigue, despair or anxiety.
A new outpatient counseling center – called Inspirations – is helping adults manage these feelings and improve their outlook. Inspirations offers group counseling for senior adults battling issues such as depression, anxiety, or loneliness.
"Meeting the unique challenges of aging requires courage and sometimes a helping hand," said Laurie Busker, community educator. "At Inspirations we help patients find enjoyment and understanding that senior adults experience a variety of unique and difficult life conditions that can be overwhelming at times."
Who could benefit from coming to Inspirations? The following are the major signs that you or a loved one could be helped through the program:
People caring for an older person such as a parent or grandparent may wonder how to start the conversation with a loved one about seeking help, Busker said.
"We recommend simply stating to your loved one that you are concerned and wanting them to feel better," Busker said.
A physician's referral is not required. Anyone can make a referral, Busker said. Inspirations is covered under Medicare Part B and supplemental insurance.
Inspirations offers therapy and services during the day which allows patients to return to their homes in the evening. Other services include:
For more information about Inspirations call (405) 579-4700. The program is located across the street from Norman Regional Hospital in the Physicians and Surgeons Building.
Learn More
To learn more about what Inspirations can provide you or your loved one, plan to attend a community conversation on Thursday, August 26 at the Norman Regional Hospital Education Center located at 901 N. Porter Avenue in Norman. The hour and a half event will begin at 9:30 a.m. and feature information from Inspirations Program Director Michelle Burris, Community Educator Laurie Busker and Lead Therapist Monte Blake.

Try with Catalyst 12.8, when it will be available (today).
I have clevo laptop with model P150EM that comes with intel core-i7 3610M and AMD 7970M GPU . MY problem is that AMD catalyst does not detect my GPU . I downloaded amd catalyst through additional driver page , it installs fine but it doesn't not run because it doesn't detect my gpu . Iam running Ubuntu 12.4 .In terminal there it shows there 2 gpu one for intel and the other is amd . However, I suspected that intel graphics are ones being and used by the system and may or may not blocking my amd gpu from being detected by Ubuntu . I tried many methods installing amd catalyst and run it but it always fail including manual installtion. . I also tries using the hybrid switching graphics tutorial but it also failed :
Unfortunately , I don't have a BIOS option to turn off intel graphics and switch only to dedicated graphics . Please I am stuck . I tried everything but so far no solution . I would be appreciated if somebody help me find solution. Thanks
Try with Catalyst 12.8, when it will be available (today).
I am going to buy a similar notebook soon, so I have looked at that a little.
It uses the successor to PowerXpress, it's called "Enduro" and is wired together with the intel card, so it doesn't have manual switching via BIOS or software.
In windows there seem to be some performance issues with it resulting in a loss of up to >10 FPS apparently due to driver issues. An oddity is that games show the intel card as renderer, even if they are rendering on the HD 7970M.
So it seems to be very closely integrated.
I haven't seen any reports on how it works on linux but I have faith that the recent prime/dma-buf will soon allow offloading the rendering to the dedicated card and maybe flgrx will work soon with it too. Maybe, just maybe even together.
I know about the enduro issue but i will know that it will be fixed soon as stated by amd. However, your answer is partially right , enduro is not the problem here since it power saving feature which is not related to detecting hardware but rather its system is not recognizing the card because 2 gpu are running simultaneously and no way to turn off intel one at least on clevo machine. on aliwneare machine they have option to turn off intel graphics and thier amd 7970m works on linux. my ububtu detects and run intel 4000 but not amd 7970m
Now it's available: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/am...x86.x86_64.zip
Follow this manual: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu
Ya I followed this method for installing the drivers. I just ran 12.8 drivers but with no luck again.Now there is even a bigger problem. when I finished installing 12.8 and it did not run , i ran update manager for ubnutu , i updates the system and while i was updating i read in the manager that there is new intel driver update. the system installed the new updates , rebooted , tried to launch amd catalyst to hope there is some influence from new intel drive, now amd catalyts wont even launch when i click on the icon . it used beforre to launch and tell me no amd hardware detected and closes, now there is nothing. So i tired to remove it but it refuses to remove from terminal . what should I do now ?. I ran the driver again to overwrite installtion ion but it tells me to remove the fgrlx driver installed !. sigh the ubuntu update screwed me over
after googling for 2 hrs I found a command for forcing un-installing the driver without integrity check . I now have 12.8 but still doesn't recognize any amd hardware . aticonfig command doesn't work in terminal just if anybody asks. the weird thing is that in additional drivers manager it display fgrlx but the catalyst doesn't detect hardware (7970m)
Do you use package generation installation method?
/usr/share/fglrx/atigetsysteminfo.sh works?

After looking at many wall mount jewelry armoire cabinets, I came across this mirrored over the door model on Overstock.com. It was so much less expensive than many of the wall mount ones I viewed, but the thing I really love about it is it has a TON of storage space. If you really look at the insides of other models, and count how many hooks they have for necklaces, etc., then compare them to this one, you will see how much roomier this one is! This one has hooks and compartments on both sides (both the main half and the half that is the door. When it's fully opened...wow! Huge. A terrific value for the price! It is very well made, made in the USA which is a BIG plus for me, and just quality all the way around. I hung about 25 necklaces and still have room for more (tons of hooks). And it has rows and rows of perforated units where you can hang all your earrings. But what I did is cut the plastic on the end of each row and slipped all my bracelets over them. The plastic material was so sturdy, each row hold about 15 bracelets without any sag whatsoever. And there are 4 rows! It also has three or four rows of little lift out compartments, like little drawers for brooches, or whatever. And it has rows and rows of slits on the top section to insert rings. It would hold about 100 rings! My unit was black wood, although I thought I was getting a white one, but it's okay. I'm so impressed with it, I don't care. I can always paint it later if I decide to. Installation is a snap. If you want to hang it over the back of a door, you undo 2 screws on the back of the unit, place the door hanger hook over the screw holes and put the screws back in with a simple screwdriver. Took about 5 minutes. Then, the hooks just go over the top of the door. I ended up putting in drywall mollies and then screwing it into the wall - the unit also comes with screws and brackets if you want a wall mount. It also doubles as a wardrobe mirror on your wall or door back! Excellent value and I am VERY happy with this quality product : )
As others have said, it holds quite a lot of jewelry and takes up little room on the back of a door. The large mirror on the door as well as the smaller one inside are nice touches. The price, relative to other jewelry storage units that hold the same quantity, is a bargain. Here's the downside. Be prepared to do a little handywork. Once hung on my door, I started loading the unit. I opened and closed the door maybe 4 times and, whammo, out popped both screws on the bottom hinge. The screws are very short and barely bite into the frame which is inadequate considering the door has a mirror in it and is heavy. Thankfully my husband came to the rescue and replaced the screws on both hinges with much longer and wider screws. I worry though that the soft particle board of the frame the new screws are in will eventually wear out resulting in the replacements screws popping out just like the original ones did.
I purchased this for my 22 year old daughter. Was a little hesitant because the pictures on line were not very good but I read all the positive reviews and figured that many people could not be wrong. Am I glad I did! This thing is awesome. Great value for the money. My husband attached the "over-the-door" hangers to the cabinet in 2 minutes and we hung it inside her closet door. Her room is so small that she does not have room for a large chest jewelry box (on legs) and she also wanted a full length mirror, but had no room for that either. This solved both problems. It held all her jewelry -even the huge chunky stuff she was just throwing in a drawer because it was so large. It's all there, organized, not tangled, right at her fingertips. She loves it and I am once again satisfied with an Overstock purchase.
First----AMERICAN made!!! Bonus! I didn't realize that. So A. no assembly required other than attaching brackets and B. SUPERIOR quality!!! This piece is large -- almost a full size door mirror. And holds a TON of jewelry! Looks great and so functional! What a great combination!!! LOVE, LOVE LOVE it!!!! Overstock delivers again!!!
I was somewhat dismayed when I first opened the box (by the way, the packaging was superb! Not a single scratch!) because I had ordered a white armoire and received a black one! It was so pretty in black that I kept it. It holds a lot of different types of jewelry with assorted length options for necklaces. The area for rings are easily used for earrings (non-hoop type), and the mirror is an added feature since I did not have anything close to a full length mirror in the room. True to Overstock's outstanding history with me as I had experienced on several previous orders, I would recommend this jewelry armoire for anyone searching for a product made in the good old USA! No "construction" necessary, it came all assembled and hangs over a closet door beautifully. ***** Excellent!
Great for my extensive jewelery collection. Finally everything is in order and not a crazy mess!!
The top does not completely close. It needs more than just one latch in the middle. I thought I was getting a white one, but it came in black and it would have been too much of a hassle to return it.
Love it holds a lot of jewelery pieces. The only thing is the magnet doesn't stay closed so I need to devise another way to keep it closed. It had a few flaws but I could live with it. Just didn't want the hassle of returning it that's why I only gave it a 3 star
Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She loves the fact that it is compact and space saving. very pleased
Just fine for what I needed

Turkish output grew at the sharpest rate since March 2011 with a marked increase in new orders Growth in the emerging markets gained momentum in January, with manufacturers registering their strongest increase in production since May 2011. The HSBC Emerging Markets Index (EMI) rose from 53.0 in December to 53.9* in January, the highest figure since February 2012. HSBC's EMI is a monthly indicator derived from HSBC Purchasing Managers' Indices that follow 16 key emerging economies. Manufacturers posted a third successive month of expansion while the services sector registered the strongest growth in four months. After a difficult 2012, economic conditions in the emerging markets are continuing the improvement which began last August Pablo Goldberg, Global Head of Emerging Markets Research Employment growth was maintained, a trend shown since August 2009, while cost pressures in emerging markets were at their highest in three months. New business growth in emerging markets hit a 22-month high in January and new manufacturing orders rose at their fastest rate since April 2011. Only Egypt, South Korea, the Czech Republic and Poland suffered declines in January. Manufacturing output expectations for Poland and the Czech Republic were the weakest of all emerging economies, reflecting exposure to weak European demand. "After a difficult 2012, economic conditions in the emerging markets are continuing the improvement which began last August," says Pablo Goldberg, Global Head of Emerging Markets Research. "Both manufacturing and service readings suggest economic activity is not just being supported by resilient domestic conditions, but also now by a pick-up in new export orders." China's manufacturing figures for January were particularly strong with output rising at the strongest rate since March 2011, supported by new order growth. Improving demand from US and European markets lifted new export business after a flat December. Mr Goldberg says that the pick-up in manufacturing activity is supported by the turnaround in the outlook for China "which is slowly pulling the rest of Asia with it". But he points out that countries closer to the eurozone are still struggling. Turkish output grew at the sharpest rate since March 2011 with marked increases in new orders and purchasing activity. In Russia manufacturing production recovered momentum, while new order growth reached a 22-month high. Brazil's manufacturing sector posted the strongest output growth in nearly two years, while companies in the country also increased staffing levels for the first time in 10 months. Indonesia posted a fall in production for the first time in seven months and firms cut staff for the third month running as new order numbers failed to improve. In Vietnam, manufacturing output rose modestly and new export orders declined for the ninth month in a row. South Korea registered a fall in output for the seventh time in eight months. But Taiwan posted the strongest growth since March 2012.

New push for Mideast peace: John Kerry heads back
Thursday - 4/4/2013, 2:12pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Evoking the U.S. shuttle diplomacy of decades past, Secretary of State John Kerry is making his third trip to the Middle East in a span of just two weeks in a fresh bid to restart long-stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Though expectations are low for any breakthrough on Kerry's trip, which begins Saturday, his meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders represent some of the Obama administration's most sustained efforts at engagement in a part of the world that has frustrated American administrations for the past six decades.
"His diplomacy will be based on what he hears from the parties," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Wednesday. Kerry, she said, will be making clear that both sides have to want to get back to the negotiating table "and that they've also got to recognize-- both parties -- that compromises and sacrifices are going to have to be made if we're going to be able to help."
Kerry is going at a precarious time. Overnight and into Wednesday, Israel and Gaza militants engaged in the heaviest fighting since a cease-fire was declared in November. The militants fired several rockets into southern Israel, and Israel responded with its first airstrike in Gaza since the fighting subsided. No injuries were reported on either side.
But late Wednesday, Israeli forces shot and killed a teenage Palestinian protester during a clash in the West Bank.
Kerry had planned to leave Monday for talks in London and then South Korea, China and Japan. But officials said he moved up his departure to Saturday for a first stop in Turkey, where he'll seek to build on recent efforts by that nation and Israel to repair ties and coordinate on stemming violence in Syria. Kerry then travels to Jerusalem and to Ramallah in the West Bank, which he visited with Obama last month before returning to Israel a second time.
U.S. officials say Kerry is primarily interested in gauging what the Israelis and the Palestinians are willing to do to restart direct negotiations that have been mostly frozen for the past 4
