My Rating
This tour was amazing, they came and picked me from the hostel. The horses were very friendly and really knew what theory were doing, they all kept in track and speeded only when there is a gap to catch up with the herd or when asked to. Everyone was so happy by the end of the ride. The people in the farm were very friendly too, I didn't have comfy shoes for riding so they gave me a pair for the ride, they also fitted all our helmets and helped up get on the horses. They also gave up cakes at the end. The Gold circle is a must, there was enough time for photos. The only negative point i'd mention, was that the tour didn't start at 9 as mentioned, it started at 12, so i called the number Viator recommended at 9am and they said the tour will start at 12. Maybe i should have called the day before to clarify.

There was not enough time in Alhambra and they didn't warn us in advance that you some parts can only be visited on specific times. We lost our tour guide and ended up missing the best parts of the site

Man Booker Prize Finalist
National Book Award Finalist
Two-time Booker Prize-winner Peter Carey's latest feat of imagination is an irrepressible, audacious, and trenchantly funny novel set mostly in nineteenth-century America.
Olivier—an improvisation on the life of Alexis de Tocqueville—is an aristocrat born just after the French Revolution. Parrot is the motherless son of an itinerant English engraver. Their lives are joined when Olivier sets sail for the New World to save his neck from one more revolution and Parrot is sent with him as spy, protector, foe, and foil. With the story of their unlikely friendship, Peter Carey explores the adventure of American democracy with the dazzling inventiveness and richness of characterization, story, and language that we have come to expect from this superlative writer.

The Jet-Etihad deal has run into fresh troubles as the fair trade watchdog of Singapore announced that it would conduct a scrutiny over the deal between the second largest carrier, Jet Airways and Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways, to check on any possible violation of competition laws.
"The Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS) is seeking feedback on the proposed commercial alliance between Etihad Airways and Jet Airways," said a statement issued by CCS on their website.
"CCS received a notification for decision on 6 June 2014, with regard to the proposed commercial alliance. This (alliance) relates to the provision of international air passenger transport services (and associated support services), with a specific focus on the Singapore origin and destination city pairs affected by the proposed commercial alliance," the statement further added.
Experts however said that CCS scrutiny will not really have any major impact on the deal.
More than a year after the announcement of the Jet-Etihad deal, the two airlines cleared the last regulatory hurdle in May this year. The deal received clearances from India's market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), while Competition Commission of India gave its nod to the deal last year.
Jet-Etihad was the first deal to be announced in April last year, after the government allowed 49% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Indian airlines. Etihad purchased 24% stake in Jet Airways in a deal worth about Rs 2,058 crore.
CCS said that the notification is made in relation to Section 34 of the Competition Act which prohibits agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings or concerted practices which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within Singapore.
"Airline is an international business. Normally, international regulators do not raise issues. However, the Indian government will have to study and take a call accordingly. But we don't believe it will have any impact on the deal as such," said a Mumbai-based airline consultant who did not wish to be quoted.
"Instead of opposing the deal, Singapore should look at how they can offer better competition to the routes," he added.

'Boyfriend Tracker' app raises stir in Brazil
More News from Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazilians were outraged when they learned their country was a top target of the US National Security Agency's overseas spying operation, with data from billions of calls and emails swept up in Washington's top secret surveillance program.
Yet when it comes to the cloak and dagger effort of catching philandering lovers, all high-tech weapons appear to be fair game — at least to the tens of thousands of Brazilians who downloaded "Boyfriend Tracker" to their smartphones before the stealthy software was removed from the Google Play app store last week, apparently in response to complaints about privacy abuses and its potential to be used for extortion or even stalking.
"Brazilians are a jealous people, what can I say? Of course it's going to be popular," said Marcia Almeida, a 47-year-old woman in Rio whose marriage ended seven years ago in large part because of what she said was her husband's infidelity.
"It's a different type of spying," she said of comparisons to the NSA surveillance program. "You're checking up on somebody you know intimately, not some stranger."
The app, called "Rastreador de Namorados" (Portuguese for Boyfriend Tracker), promises to act like a "private detective in your partner's pocket."
Functions include sending the person doing the tracking updates on their partner's location and forwarding duplicates of text message traffic from the targeted phone. There is even a command that allows a user to force the target phone to silently call their own, like a pocket dial, so they can listen in on what the person is saying.
Similar apps are marketed for smartphone users in other countries, including Europe and the US, but Boyfriend Tracker is the first that has made any impact in Brazil, a country still irate as it learns more about Washington's snooping. Brazil has sent a government delegation to meet with U.S. leaders about the spy program that was revealed by Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor who has been on the run since May and was recently granted asylum in Russia.
Google spokeswoman Gina Johnson said by email that as a policy the company doesn't comment on why apps are removed.
Critics say even as advertised, apps like Boyfriend Tracker can violate privacy rights, and they warn that in the wrong hands they could be used for more sinister purposes, like stalking. Some in Brazil argue it breaks an anti-online harassment and hacking law in place since April. The law is named after Brazilian actress Carolina Dieckmann, who had nude photos of herself leaked by hackers in 2012 after she refused to pay about $5,000.
However, similar apps popular on Google Play market themselves to parents as a means of monitoring how teenage children use the phone and where they are at any given moment.
Matheus Grijo, a 24-year-old Sao Paulo-based developer behind Boyfriend Tracker, says it has attracted around 50,000 users since its launch about two months ago, most since the site began attracting media attention two weeks ago.
Grijo insists his lawyer vetted the app and determined it does not violate any Brazilian laws. Despite being removed by Google, it is still available via direct download from his company's website.
A disclaimer on that website stipulates the app is for "social and recreational use" and absolves the developer of responsibility for any misuse. The first line of the download instructions says a woman installing the tracker on her boyfriend's phone should do so "with his consent."
"We are waiting for Google's position on the removal of 'Boyfriend Tracker' from Google Play, which we consider an error," read a posting on a Facebook page Grijo set up for the app.
To install Boyfriend Tracker, suspicious partners have to get their hands on their loved one's smartphones and upload the app. A free version leaves the app's icon visible on the target's phone, while a version that costs $2 a month masks the icon.
Grijo said the app began as a joke between him and his girlfriend but the idea quickly caught on among their friends.
"In Brazil, we have this culture of switching partners really quickly, so this is a way of dealing with that," said Grijo. "People really appreciate having a tool to help them find out whether they're being cheated on."
He acknowledged that "of course some people are against it, but on balance the response from users has been positive." He said he's received messages of gratitude from around 50 people who used the app to ferret out their partners' infidelity.
While cheating in Brazil cuts both ways, the app is clearly marketed to women suspicious of their male partners, right down to the name. Postings on the app's Facebook page exhort: "Girls, share this."
Still, Grijo insisted he personally has never given his girlfriends any reason to worry.
"I've had three steady girlfriends until now but I've never had these kinds of issues," he said.

Words That Kill
Words that kill a direct marketing campaign are easily avoided, but are they? Do you know which words will foil your next direct marketing piece? On average, you have about 10 to 20 seconds to grab your prospect's attention.When you are talking to a business to business prospect, it's about them. Make sure you beef up your market-tested winners and leave the negative ones at the door. One marketer estimates that one word change in his direct marketing campaign dropped results by 60 percent.

In the wake of the economic crisis and distress of the real estate markets, issues related to the foreclosure of mezzanine loans have become the subject of much discussion. A mezzanine loan put simply is a loan given to a business entity which is secured by the ownership interests in that business entity. In real estate transactions, the most frequent structure involves a pledge of the membership interests in a limited liability company. This limited liability structure is primarily the result of special purpose entity requirements imposed by commercial lenders to conform to securitized lending guidelines. Mezzanine loans provide an opportunity for an entity which owns commercial real estate to leverage its equity in instances in which the entity's real estate lender does not allow subordinate mortgage financing.

This is a memo I prepared after researching an eminent domain case in which the State of Texas was taking certain property and paying for it. The problem was that the State didn't know who to pay. My client had purchased the property on a contract for deed, which essentially means he was paying but wouldn't get the deed until it was paid off. This means that although he was the 'owner" as much as anyone with a mortgage owns their property, his name wasn't on the title.

Tony Levine: The Most Popular Football Coach in Houston
The University of Houston coach is a rising star in the football world
Houston, like most Texas places, is a football town. And with the city's professional football team dwelling in the league basement, the successes of the city's college teams have become points of communal distraction. Leading the way are the University of Houston Cougars, not a massive program by elite college football standards, but a Houston institution nonetheless.
Tomorrow, when the Houston Cougars will square off against Vanderbilt in the Compass Bowl, they will be led by their 41-year-old coach Tony Levine, who is finishing his second full season at the helm of the team. Levine's football pedigree is pretty impressive.
Levine, earned two master's degrees, has coached at the high school, college and NFL levels during his 16-year coaching career. Before coming to UH, Levine coached with the Carolina Panthers in the NFL, as well as the University of Louisville, Louisiana Tech, Auburn and Texas State.
Well before that, Levine actually got his feet wet refereeing basketball games at the St. Paul Jewish Community Center.
"I used to referee at a lot of high school and men's league games, and at the JCC right down the street from my house. I kind of got started at the local JCC growing up."
As if playing under the big lights weren't enough, Levine also has four children. According to Tablet's resident college football expert, Levine's stock is on the rise. Should the Cougars win tomorrow against Vanderbilt, which is led by trendy-coach-of-the-moment James Franklin, the buzz may lift Levine onto an even bigger stage.
[James] Franklin is on many NFL and college vacancy short lists, so if Levine wins, I guarantee you start seeing his name on those lists as well.
Not bad for the son of an accountant and high school guidance counselor.

Pet Products
Shop the Pet Supply Store at Overstock.com for the best deals online.
Your pets are more than just animals; they're part of the family! Make sure your furry, feathery, or scaly friend feels at home with the right pet supplies. Pet gear will make it easier for you to care for your pets, and it will make them happier, too. Before you start shopping, think about your pet's basic needs. Once those are covered, you can add the fun stuff. Eating, sleeping, pottying, and playing are basics for any kind of pet you bring home. Pet food and food dishes will be the first things you'll need; make sure you have a water dish, too. Next, think about where your pet will sleep. A dog or a cat will like a pet bed, while a bird needs a perch, and a lizard needs a warm rock in his aquarium. Housebreaking pads, kitty litter boxes, and cage-lining materials are essential to keeping your home sanitary. And a bored pet is an unhappy pet; pet toys are as vital as food and water. Now you can think about the fun pet supplies. Dog sweaters may be important for small dogs in winter; but otherwise, little outfits are mainly for special occasions. Simple toys will keep your cats entertained, but cat furniture will give them even more of a thrill. And adding aquarium decor to your fish tank not only makes it look cool; the hiding spots will become favorites for your fish.
Your pets nap a lot, and you'll want to make sure they have the best place to catch some Z's. Dogs and cats alike love a warm nest to sleep in, and pet beds provide the perfect resting spot. Here's how to choose the perfect one. Make sure they have a pet bed that is suited to their size. For dogs, this means making sure they can stretch their legs out fully on the bed. If you have a large breed cat or dog, make sure the bed can accommodate him when he grows to his full size. You'll also want to consider your pet's sleeping style. If your pet mainly likes to sleep curled up, choose a round or oval bed. Square beds are best for dogs who like to sleep with their legs outstretched. Cats are more likely to sleep curled up, so their beds can be a bit smaller than a dog's bed. If your pet has a disability, make sure he won't have to jump over a high side on the bed in order to settle into it; look for pet beds made just for animals with special needs. For your pet's health, pet beds should be replaced every year unless they are machine washable. If it is washable, you can use it until it is worn out.
At once dignified and ridiculous, a cat is a charming pet that may seem to almost care for herself. You will, however, need a few cat supplies to keep her happy and your home in good shape. Cat food and food dishes are one of the first things you'll need when you bring home a kitten. Plastic food dishes are economical. Ceramic dishes cost a bit more, but they can help prevent skin conditions on your kitty's chin. Make sure you have a good water dish as well. Cats need a considerable amount of water to stay healthy. A water fountain with continually moving water is appealing to many kitties. A litter box and kitty litter are essential to keeping your home clean. Cats like a bit of privacy, so you may want a litter box with a top. If you're training a new kitten, you'll probably only have to show her the litter box once, and she'll know to use it for the rest of her life, unless she's ill. Cats are hunters, and if they're living an indoor life, they'll be happy hunting the toys you give them. For a real treat, spoil your cat with a cat tower so she can enjoy the view from a high perch.
Crates and kennels not only keep your dog from tearing apart your house. Dogs are naturally den animals, meaning they like a cozy, enclosed place to sleep or just to relax. Crates and kennels also provide a sanctuary for your dog, a safe place where he can relax when he's overstimulated. When you're choosing a crate, the main two things to consider are size and material. To choose the right size, measure how much space your dog will need to stand all the way up and turn around. For materials, you can choose how sturdy the crate needs to be depending on your dog's breed and temperament. When your dog is young, you can put him in his crate for up to three hours to help housebreak him. His bladder can't wait much longer than that. Start with short periods of time, and give him treats for going in and when you let him out. Put your dog in the crate at night, but be sure to keep the crate near your bed, so he isn't lonely and so you can hear him whine to go out for a potty break. Once your dog is crate trained, he will voluntarily go into it when he needs time to himself.

Security: How IT and Industrial Control Differ
When your "nail" is computer system security, the "hammer" is often commercial IT security measures.
And though a good dose of IT security is essential to industrial control system security, successfully securing a control system requires additional steps.
A recent release from Tofino Security highlighted the unique aspects of industrial control systems that set their security measures apart from most IT systems. Some of these factors included control systems placement on the plant floor, rather than a climate controlled data center; their potential for placement in or close to hazardous environments; plus the fact that the average life span of equipment on the plant floor is measured in decades rather than a few years.
Referencing information from a Belden Industrial Ethernet Infrastructure Design Seminar, the Tofino release boiled down the differences between IT and ICS (industrial control system) security solutions to the fact that each system has different:
• Performance requirements;
• Reliability requirements;
• Operating systems and applications;
• Risk management goals;
• Security architectures; and
• Security goals.
Security goals are an essential difference between the two. For example, the number one goal of IT security is focused on privacy, i.e., protecting the data; whereas the number one goal of ICS security is based on safety, i.e., protecting the process. Three major categories of ICS security issues are outlined in the seminar. Those issues are:
Soft targets. According to Belden, control networks are full of what are known as "soft" targets—devices vulnerable to disruption through their network interface.
Multiple pathways. These pathways often bypass existing security measures in the plant, and some don't even appear on a network diagram.
Flat networks. Many ICS networks are still implemented as large, "flat" networks with no isolation between unrelated subsystems.

From the article: Fujitsu - Technical Support Profile
If you have used Fujitsu's products and needed to deal with their support department for some reason, please feel free to write down how that experience was and any information you that may be beneficial to others who have Fujitsu products. Similarly, if you are looking to buy an Fujitsu product, this information may be helpful in deciding if you should go ahead or look at another company.
Excellent? Really?
- I don't know how anyone could rate Fujitsu's technical support as excellent. Their online form won't even let me submit a query, even though I have clearly filled in the required fields and complied with the terms. The chat function still appears on their technical support page, but it has been disabled. I have an older (2005) Fujitsu N6010. There have been NO driver updates to any of the major components since the computer was first released. Their bios update requires a floppy drive to install. The N6010 never came with a floppy drive. Virtually every major component of this computer has failed and been replaced, including the mother board. I'll never buy another Fujitsu laptop again.

The UPLIFT 900 Sit-Stand Ergonomic Desk Base (Silver Frame) is an easy and affordable way to transform an existing desktop into an electric standing desk. This adjustable height base gives you 26" of soft start and stop electric height adjustment, letting you go from sitting to standing quickly and easily. Standing part of the day has been shown to increase productivity and cut down on the health risks associated with sitting all day. This desk base features telescoping width, adjustable from 42.25" to 70" wide, allowing for easy customization for both your leg space and for accessories like a CPU holder. The UPLIFT 900 Sit-Stand Ergonomic Desk Base (Silver Frame) allows you to transform your desk and begin accessing the benefits of a height adjustable desk.

*Please note that the up, down and memory keys on the advanced 1-touch digital memory keypad operate as follows: The four memory keys allow the desk to move to one of four preset vertical positions with just one touch, meaning you do not have to hold down a numbered memory key to make an adjustment to a saved position. Please be sure there is adequate clearance above and below your desk, and check cord lengths to insure adequate length of all cords before adjusting the desk height using the memory keys. Or you can simply push and hold down one of the up/down keys until you reach your desired height, if you don't wish to use the preset memory keys.
**The maximum recommended depth of your desktop is 40'' (desk will overhang the feet of the base by about 5'' in the front and rear). Please note that a 40'' deep desk will be slightly less stable, and we recommend a three-leg 950 base for those who require no desk movement. A 950 base supports a 50'' deep desktop. All UPLIFT desks offer best-in-class stability.
Why is UPLIFT priced so low?

UPLIFT Desks are assembled in Austin, Texas, and parts are sourced both globally and locally. Enjoy our selection. We know you'll love UPLIFT products - we hope to see you back as a repeat customer!

UPLIFT Desks come standard with a Push and Hold Two Button Up/Down Keypad, or you can choose the Advanced 1-touch Memory Keypad with Digital Height Display for a quick, easy adjustment to your saved positions with just one touch of a button.
The Advanced Wire Management Kit is a complete cable organization system for your height-adjustable desk. We developed this kit after years of desk installations. It's a proven way to easily manage all computer and electric desk cords. The kit includes the following:
Click the video below to get some helpful tips on making the most of your UPLIFT Advanced Wire Management Kit:
The included cable organization tray forms the crux of your wire management solution with a sleek, black design that seamlessly blends with your desk's design and mounts securely to the desktop with two self-tapping wood screws or a strip of included double-sided tape. At 3.6'' wide, this tray is wide enough to accommodate cords, power supplies and the included power strip, minimizing below-desk clutter. While we recommend adding the entire advanced wire management kit for a full cable management solution with the most customization, this wire management tray portion of the kit can also be added to your desk order on its own.
10 self-adhesive wire mounts and 100 single-use cable ties allow for cables to be bundled and pulled taut against the bottom of the desk, eliminating hanging wires.
As your workstation develops over the years, it's likely that you'll need to re-bundle wires for routing or storage inside the wire management tray. A set of 10 reusable cable ties is also included, allowing for modification of cable bundling as needed without needing to replace individual cable ties.
Additionally, the Advanced Wire Management Kit provides a desk-to-wall cable organizer to organize wires running from an outlet or equipment to your desk in a single bundle. The desk-to-wall cable organizer's heavy-duty "spiral" design protects the cables inside from wear and tear, while also allowing cables to be integrated into the organizer or removed from it easily. An included quick wire add/remove tool rapidly and efficiently routes cables into the organizer.
Finally, if you need more power outlets close at hand, or just need an all-in-one power solution, a clamp-on surge protector with USB charger can be added to the Advanced Wire Management Kit or ordered as a standalone product. This unique surge protector features six power outlets with space for two large AC adapters as well as a pair of ports for charging USB devices. Capable of clamping onto any surface up to 1 3/8'' thick, this surge protector can placed nearly anywhere on your desk for convenient outlet access. Please note that this surge protector will not fit inside of the wire management tray and must be mounted on the desk edge.
The UPLIFT 900 Sit-Stand Ergonomic Desk Base can be ordered with optional casters. The casters come in a set of four - two for each leg. They can be locked to keep the desk stationary, but easily unlocked when you need to roll the desk.
Please note: the casters will add approximately 1.5 inches of height to your desk.
The attached stands that typically come with a new monitor are not ergonomic or adjustable; using a monitor arm will allow you to maintain good posture, avoid eye strain, control monitor position and save desktop space. Most people who purchase a monitor arm come back and say they should have done so years ago.
The UPLIFT Monitor Arm is a stylish, pneumatic monitor arm that provides complete fingertip adjustment for height, depth and lateral movement with an adjustable counterbalance system that allows for easy movement. If you are looking for a dual monitor solution, we also offer the UPLIFT Dual Monitor Arm, with the same great intuitive adjustment.
Models available:
Add an UPLIFT Sit-Stand desk mat to your desk base order, and receive an additional discount off the regular mat price. Our UPLIFT Sit-Stand anti-fatigue desk mats are extremely durable and comfortable. The padding is an inch thick and the surface is puncture-proof to withstand high heels or even the wheels of your chair. Choose from a 2' x 3' size or a 3' x 5' size.
Note: If you wish to use your UPLIFT Sit-Stand desk mat as a chair mat as well, you will need the 3' x 5' size.
When using a sit-stand desk, we recommend mounting your computer beneath your desktop to prevent cables from being stretched and pulled out of their ports when moving the desk from sitting to standing positions. We don't recommend leaving your CPU on the floor, as most cords aren't long enough to stretch from a computer placed on the floor to the standing height of your desk. While one option is to place your CPU on top of your desk, a CPU holder allows you to securely attach your computer tower to the bottom of your desktop to free up desk space. For an adjustable CPU holder at a discounted price when bundled with this desk, our own UPLIFT CPU Holder features a 360° swivel mount and a gliding track mechanism for easy access to your computer.
Click the video below to see the many features and benefits of the UPLIFT CPU Holder:
An ergonomic keyboard tray is an excellent accessory for your UPLIFT desk, giving you the freedom to adjust the height and tilt of your keyboard independently from the desk. A keyboard tray will also relieve the strain caused by over-reaching to type and is an excellent way to manage repetitive stress issues. An UPLIFT Desk is available with your choice of two keyboard trays. The UPLIFT Large Keyboard Tray comes with one, 27'' wide surface for your keyboard and mouse to sit side-by-side. For those who prefer more flexibility, the UPLIFT Switch Keyboard Tray comes with two surfaces: a 19.75'' wide platform for the keyboard and a separate 9'' diameter surface for the mouse. The mouse platform can easily move to the left or right side for ambidextrous mousing, and is also depth adjustable, allowing you to position your mouse closer to your body or farther away without adjusting the rest of the keyboard tray.
Though they have different platforms, both keyboard trays offer the same intuitive adjustability, wide range of ergonomic features and simple installation. With their easy lift-and-release, knob-free locking height adjustment that adjusts a full 8'', wheel tilt adjustment, and easy-to-read height and tilt indicators, both UPLIFT Keyboard Trays allow you to position your keyboard and mouse in a healthy, comfortable spot, whether seated or standing. The 0.25'' thick phenolic keyboard trays both feature a removable foam palm rest, a foam mouse pad and a cord manager for easy routing of your cables. Either of the low-profile, heavy-duty platforms will get your keyboard and mouse even closer to your lap, allow for compact storage and comfortably fit most keyboard and mouse combinations. These high-quality keyboard tray systems are available at a discounted price when bundled together with your UPLIFT Desk.
All necessary mounting hardware is included, including an 11'' track that allows your keyboard tray system to be mounted without interference from the desk's support beam underneath, and a 21'' track that you can use if the crosspiece is removed from the desk. While the 11'' track length will not allow you to fully store your tray along the track under your desk, we find that most users never fully retract their tray even if they have that capability. For users with a 60'' or wider desktop, you can take advantage of the 360° of rear swivel at the mechanism to rotate your platform around underneath the desktop for storage, or achieve a fully-retractable keyboard tray along the track by removing the crosspieces to form an UPLIFT 920 Desk with no crossbar interference and mounting the full 21'' track under the desk.

Featuring pen and pencil trays, a notepad slot, a tape dispenser, and storage compartments, the 13.6'' W x 7.4'' D x 1.3'' thick UPLIFT accessories drawer will help keep your height adjustable desk cleaner and more organized.

Covered in soft foam and upholstered in stain-resistant fabric, this chair is available at a significant discount when purchased with your Uplift Desk.

Great product
March 9, 2015
I've done an extensive market research about my options when it comes to a standing workstation, and this one is an absolute winner, considering the quality, usability, and affordability. Nothing comes close. Easy to set up, solidly built, motors do the job quickly and quietly. I reused my old IKEA desk top, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The setup makes me want to work! Do yourself a favor and pick one up for yourself, look no more :)
Pros:solid quality easy assembly works like a charm looks great being able to micro adjust the height with no effort throughout the day makes your body not get stuck in one position, which feels amazing
Cons:I can't think of any

This is a great company to work with
February 5, 2015
I actually have the uplift 700 base, but I don't think they sell that anymore. It's very similar to this base. I just had to write this review because the company's customer service is so awesome. I've owned my base for over a year, and due to a user mishap (my kid's fault!), one leg was a little bit higher than the other. Customer service walked me through the reset procedure, and when that did not fix the problem, they just shipped me a new leg. This desk serves me very well every day, and The Human Solution is just great to work with.

Exceeded expectations
January 1, 2015
Incredibly sturdy and capable of carrying 100 lbs of gear even when installed with a tabletop extending the substructure fully. Motors and gearing sound and feel solid and the four memory positions are very easy to set and use. So far, it has served me well for several months and my back has never felt better. Kudos to you Human Solution for building a rugged tank of a desk. Look forward to using it daily for years and years to come.

Very Sturdy, Well Built Product
December 16, 2014
I've been using my sit-stand desk for a few months now and I love it. Having the option of standing or sitting is awesome. I generally alternate 1 hour standing / 1 hour sitting. The quality of the base is great and I built a top that is big enough for all my work mess. I would (and have) recommended Uplift and Human Solution to everyone I talk to

Uplift 900 desk base

Very solid, smooth and quiet
October 9, 2014
I'm just in day two with my new desk. Actually my old desk with a new UpLift base. The desk arrived exactly as promised and everything went together pretty easily. The only challenge for me was that my desk has an added section, so I needed to reinforce where those to sections meet (previously had legs there). But it came out great and works like a charm. The base is heavy, meaning it is very solid and well built. The movement is smooth and quiet. I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I will echo another reviewer who noted that I was glad to have noted that I would have to allow the right space for the CPU hanger. I see the PDF on the website, but it would have been nice to have that in the box with the CPU hanger. Minor point. BTW, I have an existing under desk keyboard tray. Even with the optional crossbars, it works just fine. The tray goes under the bars slightly when fully pushed back, but it doesn't get near the keyboard itself. Another BTW, the casters are well worth the price. Given the weight, they made it much easier to position the desk. I thought they looked a little small, but they work well.

great desk. I set a 48 x 30" piece of glass on top, leveled and fixed it with heavy duty clear mounting tape [taped the control panel to the glass too]. Zip tied the electric box to one of the leg and mounted a adjustable swing arm for my imac to the glass. [having a piece of glass that just barely overhangs the desk supports definately helps balance the weight on the swing arm.] Only complaint I have is that the paint chipped -small- when I was tightening a screw. Otherwise, everything works like a dream. Also, customer service is fantastic. Even went the length to get dimensions of the casters for me.

The best adjustable desk
June 11, 2014
I researched heavily all the available stand/sit desks including electric and non-electric models. This desk came out on top by far, and after using it for several months I can say that I love it: Specs: It has a HUGE range of adjustable height, it's faster than most models, has a high weight capacity, etc. Appearance: I am very pleased. Combined with a nice desktop it creates a very clean, modern but minimalistic and open look for my home office. Assembly: I used a large Ikea desktop. It took an hour or so to complete, but had good instructions and videos to help. Shipping: I think it took two business days to get to the east coast. Ships same day. These guys are on it! Build: Seems quite solid and high quality. I can lean on it with all my weight with no problem, etc. Other: I would consider the optional advanced cable management system to be essential unless you have some other system. Keeps everything tucked out of sight and the desktop clean and neat. I don't often spend this much on furniture but having used this desk for a few months I have no regrets. In fact, I would consider this an essential item for any office that exists in this century. The ability to choose any height, make fine adjustments throughout the day, and switch from standing to sitting does wonders to help/prevent workplace fatigue and spinal/wrist problems. It has changed my daily working life drastically for the better.

Great product
April 22, 2014
I purchased this about a month ago for my office desk and it has worked out great. It took me about an hour to disassemble my old desk for the top and assemble the new legs. Everything fit together well and feels quite sturdy with no shaking. I've been standing throughout the majority of the day ever since. It goes up and down with the touch of the switch and has my pre-programmed heights in memory. There is tremendous value here and the reviews online proved to me that this was a very high quality product even before I bought it. I'm glad that was the case now that I'm using it. Highly recommended.

I bought the Ergonomic Desk base only and but my Ikea counter top on it and its perfect! It was less expensive for me (i'm in Canada) to ship it without the top. I was very well informed of the S&I and duty fees, so no surprise. Great in my kitchen! I now have a kitchen table AND a counter. And a standing desk when I want to change from my office room. Greaaat!

very good value for dollar
October 9, 2013
First the positive: I am happy in many ways with this and would buy it again. Bang for the buck is excellent. Very solid. Having an assembly video was a VERY smart decision as it made assembly easy and greatly ensured my overall satisfaction. It showed the company cared enough to make it easy to assemble and that is HUGE to me. Every company that ships an "assembly required" product would be smart to do the same. The minuses are minor but they are the only reasons I didn't give it a five star. The presets require you to hold the button down while it goes to a height whereas on a Tempurpedic adjustable bed as an example, you can tap a preset and let go and it goes there without having to hold it. They designed it this way so your expensive laptop is not pulled off the desk if the cord isn't long enough when you hit the button as you don't have time to stop the desk before a cord gets yanked. Also if the desk has a pinch point with a shelf you can just release your finger from the button to avoid getting pinched or breaking the shelf where if it was moving on its own it wouldn't be possible to stop it in time before an accident occurred. The desk has 350 lbs of lifting force so you need to treat that energy with respect and making you hold down the button to move so much force seems prudent to avoid a bad injury. Safety over a small convenience seems like a good idea in this case. And not a deal killer given the great price and overall value. The other thing is the silver is more and industrial gray rather than silver. Again not a deal killer but if you are thinking it will have a silver or maybe polished aluminum or steel look , it won't. That said , I will still give a very high recommendation for this product. I would certainly recommend considering this company for any purchases in the future.

Couldn't be happier with my purchase + impeccable customer service
August 28, 2013
I've had my UpLift 900 almost a month now and am extremely happy with my purchase. I did a lot of research and ummd-and-ahhhd about pulling the trigger for months. Looked at all the top ergo sites that Google came up with and after speaking with reps at various companies, I found out that the majority of them were selling the same product (a rebranded version of Conset desks). Decided to go with the UpLift 900 over Ergo Depot's AD117 for a number of reasons: - I wanted the height presets - it doesn't have the horizontal crossbar that gets in the way of your legs - the width of the legs is adjustable so you can use different tabletop sizes if you choose - its rated to lift more Couple of things to bear in mind: - The 900 shipped out with a control box that requires you to keep your finger constantly pushed down on the button for it to move (this is a new safety feature). I was hoping for a 1-touch operation. Fortunately they had a unit that had this older 1-touch operation in stock. A+ for Human Solution's customer service team tracking it down and being willing to swap it out for me (at no extra shipping charge...incredible! - Don't feel like you HAVE to buy the tabletop (unless you want one of their gorgeous real wood tops). Human Solution actually advised me that it adds a lot of cost to the order because it increases the package size so much. I used the same Ikea tabletop that I've had for years and it fits perfectly! Again, great customer service for not pushing the tabletop on me. Bottom line, I was slightly apprehensive spending so much money on a piece of equipment I'd never seen, and that return shipping costs would be on me if I wasn't happy. No need for the apprehension at all. The table is super-sturdy, and it comes in very secure packaging...nothing will get damaged in transit (although there are very slight scuffs on the feet...but my g/f thinks I'm crazy as the marks are so small). Very happy with the table.
Pair the UPLIFT 900 Sit-Stand Ergonomic Desk Base (Silver Frame) with almost any desktop and immediately begin adjusting your desk from sitting to standing quickly, with the touch of a button. Periodically changing your position during the day to standing increases energy and focus, reduces back, neck and shoulder pain, and allows you to burn more calories throughout the day. Check out the full UPLIFT 900 Sit-Stand Ergonomic Desk for this sturdy, affordable electric base paired with a durable laminate top at an amazing price.

Great Ottoman!
Great detail and color and really holds a lot.Read More
Handsome storage piece
I got this to store my shoes. I have quite a few pairs, and this prevents spiders from getting into them when I'm not wearing them, and looks nice, too. I wish it said what the actual weight limit is, but it is implied that it is not to be used as a seat. I do wish it could hold a person's weight, but beyond that, it's great.Read More

Love this piece!
Ordered this storage bench to put seasonal sweaters or other odds and ends that I didn't need on a regular basis. It's the perfect size, color is rich and the detailed sticking and craftsmanship is excellent. I absolutely recommend this item for any room in your house.Read More
Durable and stylish
This is the second product in this brand we have purchased, and both are wonderful. We purchased a longer leather storage bench when we had our first baby, to use as a toybox and coffee table. We purchased this smaller version we had our second baby in order to have separate storage for the kids. It is really durable and stylish! Very easy to assemble and set up. It took 2 minutes (literally, I timed it). It handles spills well and food easily wipes off. I wipe it down with a sponge a couple times a week. There are no permanent stains or scratches yet. It also makes a great footrest. :) it stores a surprising amount of stuff! We have 2-3 extra living room blankets and then my baby's toys in here. I would highly recommend this product to anyone considering it! I have not been disappointed in anything ordered from Overstock.Read More
Perfect Ottoman
I ordered this because of the excellent reviews, it is indeed beautiful and sturdy, perfect. I was initially wary because I would have to put it together myself. But it was easy, no screws, just putting three pieces together. The directions were very clear with diagram & words, easier than putting together kid toys. The item was shipped quickly and it was carefully packed. This was for my basement, but I think I may need to order another one for my living room!Read More
amazing value
I got two of these, for a bedroom and the family room and am very pleased. Unlike most furniture ordered online, this does not require assembly -- it folds up. The ends fold in half inwardly, and the sides are straight. The bottom arrives inside the lid, and you insert it after unfolding the sides, which have a few strips of webbing at the bottom to keep the sides from bowing outward. The lid then fits on top. Despite this folding design, it feels solid when a large adult sits on it. I would not treat it like a step ladder, though and lean off at odd angles, but it feels quite sturdy for sitting. The top is comfortably padded, and it holds quite a bit., fine for king size pillows and blankets. More surprising perhaps -- given its cost -- is its very finished appearance. It looks like a leather chest costing four or five times as much.Read More
I was hesitant in purchasing this bench b/c I was afraid that since it was collapsible it would not be sturdy - but that is not the case at all! It is incredibly sturdy and looks fabulous! I mainly got it for my two dogs to lay on and look outside our front window and it supports their constant jumping on and off. The storage space is great too. Completely satisfied and happy!Read More
Not what I thought
The problem with the ottoman is that it is extremely hard. I guess it is really not what I was expecting as far as comfort is concerned. I bought it to replace another ottoman that was used in front of my sofa. The bonded leather does not soften to make it comfortable to prop your feet. However, it is great for storage.Read More
Folding Ottoman missed the mark
While this is a good idea if you're looking for some extra storage space, I found the ottoman to be a little bit too tall, and the top of it way too hard to be comfortable for use as an ottoman. Had the top been padded more and the overall height maintained, it probably would have been OK. It's nice to have something that can be simply folded and stored - which is probably what I'll do once I get a replacement one that works better....Read More

Easily moved on carpeted surface. Doesn't seem like 44 pounds, yet very sturdy. I am very satisfied with both the quality and the functionality of this ottoman.

McHale says the people on board the cluster of Western fishing vessels in the South Pacific have given up trying to clear completely out of the area since their boats move at a maximum speed of 7 knots. She adds they're still debating how to situate themselves — in clusters or scattered throughout the region — during the hours when Mir is expected to hit.
"The benefit of clustering the boats together is they could see each other," she said. "But we also wouldn't want everyone's life in danger if something comes bursting in from the atmosphere."
Although he understands why they might feel jittery, University of Colorado aerospace professor Robert Culp says he considers the fishermen near Mir's target area "lucky."
"I think it will be spectacular," said Culp. "And the odds of being hit are less than the odds of being hit by lightning. These are small objects hitting a very, very large space."
