Very quick delivery. Solid wood all around. Stainless steel top is good too. All parts included and arrive without any damage. Take a long time to put together ( 4-5 hours,) Partially because there a lot of parts to assemble, but also because we used extra glues to strengthen all the joints. Time very well spent. We are very happy with the good looking and the good quality piece.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? just the same
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? pretty accurate
I was so pleased w. the quality of this cart from the moment we began assembly of the product. You can tell that it is good quality from the weight of each piece and the coloring of the wood. The stainless steel top arrived in perfect condition, not a scratch on it. Be prepared to have someone assist you w. lifting the box as it was over 140lbs upon arrival. Assembly took about 3 hours total but directions were fairly easy. I would 100% recommend this piece of furniture, I'm very pleased with it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Identical. As with any wood, each piece has its own unique markings but the color matched exactly as you see online.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very pleased w. the quality of this cart. The piece is very sturdy- the parts are heavy! Be ready to ask someone to help you bring the box inside.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? 100% accurate
We moved to a home with barely any cupboard space so this island has been "a dream come true!"
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Excellent match
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Well made
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate
All through and through, great product. Wife and Step-Daughter put this together in just under 2 hours. Not sure what issues others were having but just found it as a bit odd that some took 4-8 hours. Usually in the drawer sleeves where the rails are located on the right side, the back screw is not always flush. It is best to unscrew it and straighten it out so the drawer(s) will properly sit. A power drill with screwdriver attachment will help save time and your hands. Other than than, no problems....could always be a little less expensive.
I still do not have this all the way together, it was finished but top drawer would not open, cabinet doors not lining up, wheel fell off moving it, the screws on casters are short. I think I need to take it apart and try to start over, I'm a bit frustrated by it. However if I get it together it is a beautiful and heavy piece.
When finished, this is a beautiful piece of furniture. Be prepared to spend 3-4 hours with help to put it together. Couple small assembly issues. 1) The drawers need to be completely assembled. There is a milled slot that the drawer bottom slides into, then you secure it with 6 small screws. The bottom ended up 1/8 inch below the drawer sides and back, meaning I had to over tighten the screws to bring it in touch with the front/back pieces. Doable, other wise a gap is there. 2) The middle panel, ITEM D, was a pain. The dowels were too small to seat in the side bars, so it would fall apart at the slightest twist. Seriously tried my patience. And lastly we are missing 1 piece, Handle Arm. Will call tomorrow and report back on the response. I did see this exact cart in another site for $XXX.XX more today, a link from Amazon.com. The directions are good, pieces could be marked FRONT / BACK, pay attention!
Easily put together. Fits in the Kitchen with washed oak cabinets well. Enough space for two bar stools when drop down top is up. Lots of storage. Very pleased with purchase.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exactly like picture
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good Quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very Accurate
bought this for my husband work as they have a kitchen and need to prep for bbqs etc. this was delivered ontime and it took him and 2 others 45 minutes to put together. EVERYONE loves it and cant get over the high end quality of this cart. job well done by me!!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? great
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. great
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? great
LOVE THIS! I have a small kitchen and this absolutely makes it feel much like a larger kitchen while adding BEAUTY.
Very nice in general. Right door won't connect with magnet and stays open a tiny bit.
I am using this island in a kitchen that has about 5.5 feet of space between the two rows of cabinets. The existing kitchen layout is just a little off. It is too wide to be a true galley kitchen and too narrow to install a typical kitchen island. I am using this as an island. When I bake or need more room I use the gate leg table portion. It is a perfect, cost-effective solution and has provided sorely needed storage as well. It is very well made. Wheels work smoothly and can be easily locked and unlocked. Take your time putting it together, and definitely have two people. I would think twice, however, about ordering the stainless steel top for two reasons: (1) it scratches easily and (2) the arrangement of my kitchen lighting is such that there is a glare off of the steel countertop when I am working over it. I do have track lighting overhead, there may not be a glare if you have traditional lighting.
Great product, very easy to assemble. It does take 4-5 hours to assemble but it is very straightforward and the instructions are easy to follow. The product was delivered very quickly and customer service has been excellent from the start. Very impressed!
just what we were looking for it fits the small space we had to fill and gives us more storage
I didn't realize that there is a differences in an Island and a Cart. The cart arrived in one box that weighed 140 lbs. it was all that the UPS driver and I could do to get the package into the house. It would really help if the cart had been sent in 2 or 3 boxes. There were no instruction in the box for assembly. I was able to call Customer Service and talked to a very nice young man (that speakes English) and he e-mailed the direction to me. The directions for assembly were very easy to follow. My husband and I had fun putting the cart together. I love my new Kitchen Cart. The Cart gives me much more counter space to work on.
Breakfast bar is very nice. Putting it together was easy until you get to drawers. The predrilled holes were not predrilled. It took me 7-1/2 hours to put it together.
Beautiful and just as described. Fast shipping too!! Love It!okl
very nice to have ,easy assemble, fits nice into medium, or large kitchen great quality wood, easy to clean surface ,very spacious inside with with adjustable shelves the extended leaf is a great option for my two kids I make them a snack or dinner they feel comfortable sitting on the counter stools also makes it great for family fun ,baking and decorating cup cakes, clean up is a breeze and other creations. This over all is a great addition to any kitchen and awsome for entertaining guests *kitcheneyecandy*
We feared the worse after reading reviews that this was difficult to assemble, but our experience was excellent. All pieces were clearly labeled and the instructions were well written and easy to follow. Took us about 40 minutes to assemble and that was a casual speed while watching football and chasing the dog to reclaim a part or two. The stainless steel top looks great and cleans easily. The drawers, doors, and retractable surface area all fit very well. The size and measurements listed were quite accurate so it fits in to our existing kitchen decor.
My husband and I have looked for a long time for the right kitchen cart and fell in love with this one. It is functional with lots of storage space and opens up to fit stools under a section of it. However, I will tell you the truth about putting it together ! It is difficult because some of the sections did not line up correctly. My husband who is familiar with building and carpentry work, did buy and use wood glue along with the enclosed screws because the screws were too short and he believed the cart would not be strong enough without the glue. He also went to the hardware store and bought longer screws and threw away the ones that came in the kit. Of course, we want this kitchen cart to last us a long time and it is beautiful and we love having it. Just needs a little more work putting it together than what we read previous to buying it. No regrets ... the work is finished and it is a great kitchen cart.
Love this cart! I'm in the process of remodeling my kitchen and adding all stainless appliances. I had a galley kitchen and had wanted to get rid of a row of cabinets and counter top to open it up. This cart looked perfect. It's very roomy and can be easily moved to suit my needs for any occasion. A friend helped me put it together, we did it in 2.5 hrs. You definitely need at least 2 people but the instructions were right on. I noticed the box was damaged on 1 edge from shipping. The final step in assembly is to put the stainless top on. There was a dent in the corner of the metal. I contacted the manufacturer, they were very friendly and sent a replacement within a few day!

Figure 1.
Co-evolutionary distance correlates with physical distance. The figure shows the distances for the subunits in the evolutionary conserved core in T. thermophilus[5] (PDB:3M9S). Note that in the bacterial structure NADH3, 4L and 6 were not identified individually but are neighboring. Therefore, we calculated the co-evolutionary distances with concatenated alignments of these subunits. The red line is the regression line for the matrix arm and the black line is the regression line for the complete set of points.

MDinsight helps connect healthcare providers in a medical home and facilitate the coordination of care through the sharing of clinical data to help ensure patients get the right care at the right time. In addition, MDinsight allows clinicians to collectively document and track the quality of care a single patient receives, which helps alert the medical home to opportunities to proactively manage a patient's health.
"A medical home model that combines information technology and physician incentives based on the quality of care rather than the quantity can improve care and lower health care costs," said Dr. David Hanekom, medical director of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND). Dr. Hanekom is leading the BCBSND effort to deploy MDinsight to every physician in North Dakota as part of the first statewide medical home model in the country.
A Doctor's Office of Quality Information Technology (DOQ-IT) study showed that more than 70 percent of patients do not receive recommended preventative care. According to the 2005 Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) study, more than 50 percent of chronic disease patients do not receive follow-up care indicated by evidence-based guidelines.
According to John Watts, MDdatacor executive chairman and former executive leader at WellPoint - the largest health insurer in the United States - health insurers and disease management companies have struggled to drive meaningful improvement in patient care and reduce healthcare costs without full physician engagement.
"Claims data was designed for billing purposes, so attempting to use this data to improve patient care has significant limitations including lack of timeliness and accuracy. As a result, physicians do not find claims-based performance data reliabl

Witnesses against block timer recant
The radio block timer who was charged for purportedly causing the Feb. 6 tsunami scare in Cebu City has something to smile about.
The two witnesses against Danilo Cogtas recanted their testimonies.
Asst. City Prosecutor Gandhi Truya declined to subscribe their affidavit of desistance because he earlier resolved the complaint against Cogtas.
Truya said other prosecutors declined to subscribe the document because it was "pejurious."
He said he recommended the filing of a case against Cogtas in court on accusations of causing "tumults and other disturbances of public orders."
The prosecutor said he doesn't have to conduct a preliminary investigation because the offense constitutes a penalty of only 30 days to six months.
Asst. City Prosecutor Liceria Lofranco-Rabillas is reviewing Truya's findings.
If his ruling is sustained, Truya said Cogtas may submit his counter-affidavit before the Municipal Trial Court in Cities.
The affidavit of desistance will also be tackled by the court.
But if his findings are disapproved, Truya said he may entertain the witnesses' affidavit of desistance.
Chief Insp. Romeo Santander, head of the Cebu City Police Office City Intelligence Branch, said he heard that the witnesses against Cogtas retracted their testimonies, but "I still have to talk to the witnesses, I still need to confirm it."
Early this month, Cogtas was sued before the Cebu City Prosecutors' Office for violating article 153 of the Revised Penal Code or the law against "tumults and other disturbances of public orders."
In their affidavit, witnesses Roldan Espina and Ryan Pedrosa, who are habal-habal drivers, said they went to barangay Pasil on board their motorcycles to verify reports that a tsunami hit the shoreline in downtown Cebu City.
When they arrived near the Pasil fishport, they saw people running away from the place, some dragging along with them little children.
They said they saw a man on board a motorcycle, shouting loudly that a tsunami was coming.
Espina and Pedrosa said the man was wearing a big identification card around his neck and dark sleeveless vest "like the ones worn by media people."
The two witnesses then returned to barangay Lahug where they worked as motorcycle-for-hire drivers and later learned that police are looking for the man who spread the tsunami alarm.
The witnesses identified Cogtas through his photo printed on a tabloid.
They said Cogtas was the same man whom they saw spread the false tsunami alarm.
Cogtas was invited by the Cebu City police to explain about the incident.
He said people in barangay Pasil may have heard him calling his son in his mobile phone three times.
Cogtas said he advised his son to head to a higher ground.
He said he was even scared when several people panicked out of fear that a tsunami might hit the city.

A father/daughter go racing...
View Single Post

Joined: Dec 2003
Location: Tampa
Oddometer: 4,331
from last weekend. The Coyote HS.
This race's report takes place up in Brooksville,Fl at the Mondon Hill property. This is our "home" race as we are both member's of Suncoast Trailblazer's. The property is very different from most in that being an old mining site it offers many elevation changes and a chances to ride in some clay vs. sand. The course for Sat afternoon was 10 miles.
Sat dawned with guarded optimism. Haley is riding on a familiar course so confidence should be high, but racing it is another story and anything can happen. Having her grandparents and a friend from school there for the first time gave her more determination to do well...."Beep"
Haley was off into the first corner and not last which is good. She ended up following someone off course on the slag pile as a barrier had been knocked down and some confusion ensued. Lesson learned on following the course and not relying on the rider in front to know the right way.
Apparently at some point on the course she was pitched off the bike in front of the paramedics. She said she saw stars as they ran up and said they were going to call it in. She asked them if she could just sit there a bit and collect her self. He asked "How many fingers am I holding up?"..."3" was her correct answer and they cautiously let her continue with the advice of "take it easy out there!". Glad to hear the EMT's were there to help and she toughed it out and continued on. I followed her for a few miles on her 2nd lap through the ravine and out to the field. She looked like she was having fun!
Haley ended up doing 2 laps and to quote "I only wrecked 3 times " so she seemed happy with that. Her grandparents were very impressed with what a she accomplished and the whole FTR in general. I think her friend also had a few stories to share at school on Monday, including her first experience using a port-a-potty.

Here are some reviews from our past travellers to Egypt. For more details on each tour, simply click on the tour image.
Very well organised, a great mix of sightseeing and free time to enjoy the Nile as we cruised along.
All transfers were efficient and on time.
Our guide was very generous with his time and the additional information he gave us about life in Egypt was most interesting.
He was also very generous with his iPhone switching on his 'hot spot' to allow us to send emails home, in areas where we had no wifi available - I hope his phone bill was not huge!
The low point was the overnight train to Luxor, it was not very pleasant, I should have flown.
The people on the group were all terrific."
All I can say is WOW. I have never had a trip as amazing as I did with OTG. The smooth and seamless operation of pulling it all together is remarkable, from the moment you arrive in Egypt there is someone waiting and assisting you. Achmat was there on arrival his friendly face welcoming you into the chaos that is Cairo. It's a huge help having him there to assist you in going through immigration and customs and then even more of a blessing when you step out of the airport into a myriad of taxi drivers all vying for your attention and business.
My guide Dino, was phenomenal to say the least. His wealth of knowledge and expertise really made him stand out in my mind as one of the best guides I have had. As I had been to Egypt before my goal was to experience the real Egypt and be a part of the local culture. This was 100% achieved.
I was impressed that on day 2 at our welcome briefing just how honest he was with what to expect. So many other guides from my travels around the world sugar coat local situations, trying to ease the transition from Western Culture into Middle Eastern Culture.
The hotels that were selected for this trip were superb, right from location through to the amenities that they offered. They were all clean and the staff friendly. Even when I was locked out of my room
As a single traveller I am always nervous about going on group tours as you never know who you are sharing with unless you pay for the single supplement. I don't like doing single supplements as its almost like separating your self from the group. Part of OTG tours is to form relationships and bonds with your fellow travellers & OTG did such a great job with this. You paired me with such a wonderful person who contributed and made my trip all that more memorable.
Along the way we bumped into Sam who happened to be the tour guide who looked after my cousins on their trip in December and together him and Dino really made me feel like part of the family and a colleague (being that I am a travel agent)
Everything from the Hotels to the Felucca to the transfers and everything in between was so thought out and well executed that I could not find a flaw at all.
On the last day I had the privilege of having Zuzu take us around Cairo and the Museum and this in itself was a treat. He has a wealth of knowledge that he is ready to impart and I am so glad to hear that he is back as part of the family.
I feel very privileged to be associated with a company of such a high calibre and I completely understand where you get your reputation from.
Thank you for welcoming me into the OTG family.
PS: If you are hiring please shout.. very interested "
My partner and I had a wonderful adventure. We enjoyed every moment of our tour. Although I have already personally sent some feedback about how much we enjoyed ourselves, on discussion with my partner we would like to recommend our guide for a tour leader award. I was once a tour guide myself and thought that Mahmoud was excellent, a really lovely and knowledgeable person, for whom we feel a great deal of respect."
We returned yesterday after a fabulous stay in Egypt. We have enjoyed every minute and found the tour well balanced, informative and entertaining! For myself, having waited 40 years to see the sights and experience the culture, I was not disappointed, and the trip fulfilled all my expectations. Our hotels were great and the service too, we had great food and felt well cared for.
Our tour guide was excellent, always good humoured, helpful and a mine of information. Nothing was too much trouble and our group all enjoyed his company. His extensive archaeological knowledge and willingness to talk about Egyptian life and history made every excursion interesting and exciting and we appreciated his help with the street traders, language, and cultural differences that we encountered..
Thanks to all who were involved with the planning and coordination of the tour. We will be recommending others to follow in our footsteps to Egypt with your company."
Our time with Mahmoud was excellent. His knowledge of all things for Ancient Egypt and his enthusiasm was suburb and really added to the enjoyment of our trip. He was always on hand to give us advise and support. He went out of his way to ensure that we had every opportunity to see and experience all that was on offer. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Egypt and would have no problems in recommending this tour to friends and family. I would like to thank Mahmoud for making our trip so special."
I have just recently returned from my trip to Egypt and would like to thank On The Go for an exceptional holiday. The King Ramses tour offered our group the ability to see the many historical sites as well as enjoy pure relaxation at the Red Sea. With thanks to the many OTG reps as well as our tour guide Mohamed Saiid (aka Momo) the entire trip ran smoothly without any issues.
Egypt is a magical place, but I believe that much of the reason for why our group had such an amazing time was because of our tour guide Momo. His outgoing and personable demeanour ensured that everyone in our group felt safe, comfortable and taken care of every step of the way. I can confidently say that his knowledge and passion for Egypt is second to none and truly believe that we couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us around this incredible country.
Thanks to On The Go (but mostly Momo!) I have made some life long friendships and will be considering another OTG tour in the near future. "
The itinerary gave a very good impression of Egypt helped by an informative and personable tour guide.We were very fortunate with the make up of the group which with one exception gelled really well and helped to make the holiday so memorable."
We have just returned from the "Ramses Sunrise Festival-Jewel of the Nile" tour and couldn't be happier we picked this tour company. We arrived in Cairo from Amman, Jordan having finished their "Passage to Petra" tour (Jordan is awesome and everything is planned so well). Met at the airport, through visa and customs and off to our hotel in Giza with a stop for photos of the Nile River. Views of the Pyramids from our room and our guide Mohamed was so informative and personable. Unfortunately because of the negative media about the region, we (my wife and I) were the only members of the tour. This did not deter Mohamed from showing us all the important points of interest. If only more people would turn off their TV's and just come to Egypt. After our tour of the museum, "Kiro" from Cairo whisked us off to our overnight train to Luxor where we met up with one of the nicest and most informative guides we have met, Aamer. From now on whenever we see hieroglyphics we will think of Aamer. Luxor, Aswan and all the sights (including the 4 night cruise) passed quickly as we enjoyed the most memorable vacation of our lives. The sunrise festival was a sight to behold and made even more memorable by Aamer's wonderful byplay of information and friendship. If you can find the time to go to Jordan or Egypt, do yourself a favor and book with this company. In Jordan ask for Ogla - absolutely great guide. In Egypt ask for Mohamed in Cairo and definitely Aamer in Luxor. These guides and your tour company made this our trip of a lifetime. What a fantastic adventure!!!"

National Alliance Loses Key Leaders
On April 11, much of the Alliance's membership was shocked to learn that Gliebe and Walker had cancelled the group's semi-annual leadership conference. Although Walker claimed the cancellation was "due to a variety of reasons beyond our control," it quickly became known that the real reason was that a very prominent member was expected to aggressively confront Gliebe during the conference.
Meanwhile, it turned out, Strom had been making plans. He had talked to Pringle and Kelso, who lives with former Klan leader David Duke in Louisiana, about announcing a new organization at a May conference of Duke's latest hate group, the European-American Unity and Rights Organization. On April 14, Strom secretly transferred ownership of the Web site for the Alliance's National Vanguard Books to Palladian Books in Virginia, which is run by Strom and his wife.
Two days later, Strom was thrown out of the Alliance. Several other leading players were also expelled around the same time, including Western States Regional Coordinator Roger Williams, also a member of the new executive board; Nebraska leader William Muller; California member April Gaede, well known for her activism and her daughters, who make up the Prussian Blue band; and several others. "At this point," Pringle wrote, "every single NA unit is in disarray and open revolt."
A day after that, on April 17, much of the Cincinnati unit decided to quit paying dues to headquarters, giving them to their local treasurer instead. And on April 18, the rebels published a "historic declaration" criticizing Gliebe and Walker, demanding Walker's demotion and asking Gliebe to give up ownership of several of the Alliance's enterprises and put them in the hands of an expanded board. Signing were most of the Alliance's leaders — the entire executive board including Strom and a very wide array of unit leaders and other key activists, 140 of them in all (by the end of the month, that number had risen to more than 230 Alliance members).
A response wasn't long in coming. Four days later, Gliebe dissolved the executive board, saying that it had been designed as an advisory "think tank" but had degenerated into a "springboard" for a "power play" by the chairman's enemies.
Into the Future
It wasn't until April 24, eight days after Strom's ouster, that Gliebe tried to explain himself. In a letter to members, Gliebe described the affair as an "attempted coup" by Strom and several unit leaders that included "a massive smear campaign." Some, he said, had been "taken in by the smooth talk of our enemies." But despite it all, he insisted, "the severity of the damage and the extent of the coup were greatly exaggerated." He urged members to remember the "leadership principle" espoused by Pierce, and recalled how Pierce had put down a similar "coup" in the 1980s.
Apparently, Gliebe wasn't too convincing.
One day later, on April 25, Walker announced that Gliebe had stepped down as chairman because the one-time ladies' man had married Snyder and wanted "to devote more time to family matters." Walker would replace Gliebe, but Gliebe would stay on as ceo of Resistance Records, the Alliance's music operation.
By that time, Strom had already announced that he was forming a new group, to be named after National Vanguard, the Alliance magazine that he had long edited and whose Web site he and his wife now controlled. In May, he attended Duke's conference in New Orleans, where talk of the happenings within the Alliance was rampant. The new National Vanguard group, it was announced, would be run by former members of the Alliance executive board and other prominent former Alliance leaders.
It's not clear how successful National Vanguard will be. By mid-June, there was some evidence of 15 chapters around the country. But activists have criticized Strom as too interested in money and too weak to be a charismatic leader.
What is certain is that the Alliance, for the most part, is a hollow shell. It has lost almost all its well-known leaders, and its prestige has never been lower. Its moneymaking operations, National Vanguard Books and Resistance Records, are no longer making a profit. While it is sure to struggle on for some time, any major recovery seems very unlikely — although Gliebe still controls the Alliance's West Virginia compound, including several buildings, and other assets. In early June, a message was posted by an Alliance member that claimed surviving Alliance units only in Baltimore, Md.; Boston; Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio; Raleigh, N.C., and Sacramento, Calif. Others, it reported hopefully, were reorganizing.
The sorry state of the Alliance — and the circled-wagons mentality that has overtaken it — is reflected in angry May postings from Erika Snyder, Gliebe's wife, attacking the Stroms. Kevin Strom, Snyder wrote, is "a pompous, power-hungry brat," and his wife, Elisha, is "a feminist bisexual" given to attacks on "beautiful women [Snyder, presumably] and men who like beautiful women [Gliebe]."
Most former Alliance stalwarts seemed simply to shrug. "Gliebe can't kill the NA," wrote one in a message that spoke for hundreds. "It's already dead."
