Customer Reviews for A Younger You / Euphoria Day Spa (4)
May 20, 2014
Scheduling problems
I am satisfied with the services I have received, but the office staff is terrible at scheduling appointments. Every appointment I have had I received a call having to reschedule due to double booking or a conflict with the constant open houses. When I complained I received no response, they seem to be more focused on bringing in new clients instead of keeping the ones they have.

This spa has a wonderful atmosphere, the girls are terrific. Not only do they answer any questions you may have, but you leave feeling like a whole new person. Ive had all types of services done here (nails, facials and massage) and could not tell you one critique. A spa such as this is hard to come by, and the quality and price is perfect. Highly recommened!

A warm business that goes the extra mile!
The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff really go out of their way to accommodate you. There is not a hint of a rush, although their schedule was run on time. The staff clearly work hard to please, and provide excellent services. I'll definitely return- it is their extra care and etiquette that set them apart from the many other spas I've visited.

Chart Topper and Hollywood Casanova
Eddie Fisher bestrode the pop charts in the early 1950s and then had a gossip-column denouement lasting decades.
Mr. Fisher, who died Wednesday at age 82, replaced Frank Sinatra as the favorite of bobby-soxers and went on to record a string of hits including "Any Time," "Lady of Spain" and "I Need You Now."
But it was his marriages to movie stars that guaranteed him an enduring place in the pop-culture firmament.
"Until my marriage to Elizabeth [Taylor], my singing career was more important than the pursuit of romance, but after that…after that women became my addiction," he wrote in his 1999 memoir "Been There Done That." Women, along with cocaine and the methamphetamines he started taking under the supervision of Dr. Max Jacobson, the infamous "Dr. Feelgood" who told him the drugs were "special vitamins."
Mr. Fisher was one of the last of the old-time crooners, with a style many compared to Al Jolson's, and the decline of his popularity in the mid-'50s was sped by the rise of rock 'n' roll. At the start of his career, his curly-haired boyish good looks drove him to the top as much as his music. One critic compared him to "a wanton choir boy."
After appearing on Philadelphia radio in his teens, Mr. Fisher got his start singing at New York nightclubs and at Grossinger's in the Catskills, where he was recruited in 1949 for a cross-country tour with Eddie Cantor. A year later, he topped the pop charts with "Thinking of You."
Another No. 1 was the schmaltzy "Oh, My Papa," released for Father's Day. But the reality was quite different. Mr. Fisher grew up in a poor part of Philadelphia as part of a Russian immigrant family.
His father ("a nasty, abusive man," Mr. Fisher wrote) scrounged a living making suitcases in a sweatshop and running a deli. Mr. Fisher told Time magazine that he developed his baritone stylings "helping Dad hawk fruits and vegetables from a truck when I was a kid." He also sang in synagogue.
After his first few hits, Mr. Fisher was drafted into the Army, which only seemed to enhance his appeal. "His wearing of the Army khaki adds a glamour touch," Variety wrote.
But his storybook marriage in 1955 to Debbie Reynolds, already a big star in her own right, seemed to mark an inflection point in his trajectory. The marriage produced the actress Carrie Fisher—and years of recriminations after he left Ms. Reynolds for Elizabeth Taylor.
Mr. Fisher wooed Ms. Taylor after her husband, Mike Todd, died in a plane crash. He married Ms. Taylor in 1958, hours after his divorce to Ms. Reynolds was granted.
Ms. Taylor's star power far outshone his, and she left him in 1962 for Richard Burton after an affair on the set of the film "Cleopatra." Mr. Fisher went on to marry and divorce the TV actress Connie Stevens.
His aptly titled 1966 hit, "Games That Lovers Play," was the last of his career.
Mr. Fisher's addictions wreaked havoc in his life until a 1989 stay at the Betty Ford Center, after which he pronounced himself cured.
A decade later, a lurid memoir cast his wives in such a negative light that they pronounced it "Pathetic," "Insulting" and "Garbage" in quotes on the dust jacket.
Carrie Fisher threatened to change her last name to Reynolds.

RSA Critical Infrastructure Services
Cybersecurity and the CSF
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a valuable tool for critical infrastructure entities that want to develop or accelerate their cyber defense capability. RSA's offerings complement CSF functions, providing organizations with three core capabilities: readiness, response, and resilience.
Mission-Critical Security
The stakes could not be higher: catastrophic breaches are increasingly common, increasingly expensive, and increasingly likely to lead to business failure. In today's perimeter-free world, deployment of prevention-focused, point products or a focus solely on meeting industry or regulatory compliance guidelines isn't enough. They do not provide the comprehensive protection required for enterprise environments, supply chains, or customers. RSA's intelligence-driven security approach is an information security strategy that can help organizations to mitigate the risk of operating in a digital world.View the solution overview »
Operational Relevance
The CSF consists of a set of cybersecurity activities and desired outcomes that represent best practices for securing enterprise IT environments. RSA can help you to develop security capabilities that are both aligned to the CSF and built for the specific needs and environments for your business. The result: effective command and control over your cyber threats through risk-based, operationally relevant, and intelligence-driven security solutions.Watch the video »
Security Implementation
RSA solutions offer you cyber readiness, response, and resilience. Control who and what is accessing the network. Understand network activity to identify the anomalous behavior that could signify an attack. Develop rapid response capabilities to address confirmed attacks.

A Defense That's Elite (Against Bad Offenses)
Jets Haven't Shut Down Top-Tier Attacks Like San Diego's
The day after the Jets won their season opener against the Cowboys, coach Rex Ryan was a little more reserved about the victory than normal. And it had everything to do with the way his team had played defense the night before.
Asked how he felt knowing his club had given up 390 yards in the winning effort, Ryan was blunt. "That's painful," he said, adding that he was so disappointed with the unit that he wouldn't be giving game balls to any defensive players.
While the defense has had its gems this year and dominated teams like Jacksonville and Baltimore, it has underwhelmed when playing high-powered offenses—like the one San Diego will bring to town Sunday—particularly in contests against Dallas, Oakland and New England. The Jets allowed an average of 29 points and 406 yards per contest in those games.
The numbers are far off from 2009—when New York had the top defense in the NFL—and 2010. In those seasons, the Jets gave up 17 points and 304 yards and 24 points and 319 yards, respectively, when competing against clubs that had top-10 offenses.
So is it still fair to call this year's defense elite in light of its inability to shut down explosive offenses?
Ryan believes so, and said he looked forward to being able to prove it against San Diego, which averages more than 400 yards per game.
"I don't think there's any doubt that we're an elite defense," he said, adding that the Jets are still ranked near the top of the league in a number of defensive categories. "I just want to win. [If] we win 50-49, I'd be happy. The numbers, we'll let them shake out throughout the season."
To be sure, the Jets have still managed to hold top offenses at or near their per game yardage totals, even if they haven't played to their usual standard. For instance, the 446 yards the Jets gave up at New England were actually fewer than the Patriots—ranked No. 1 in the NFL with a 474.5-yard average—get per game. Similarly, the 390 they allowed versus the Cowboys bettered the 409 yards Dallas (ranked No. 7) currently averages. Oakland, at No. 11, gained 383 yards, slightly above the 373 the Raiders average.
The main difference this season may be the Jets offense, which has been significantly less productive than last year. The unit, which ranks 28th in the NFL in total offense and 26th in time of possession, has put more pressure on the defense to be stingier than before.
In turn, the defense has been mediocre at times, sometimes allowing a big play that breaks a close game wide open.
"I think it's just a few plays here and there that have made the difference," said safety Brodney Pool. "If you look at all those games, we're great in stretches, but then for some reason, we'll give up a big play. That obviously counts against the yards, and it messes things up for us. If we could avoid those big-chunk plays, we'd be fine."
The big play has been lethal in some cases. In Oakland, tailback Darren McFadden ran around the left end for a 70-yard score. At New England, Wes Welker took advantage of a blown coverage and hauled in a 73-yard grab to start the third quarter. The Dallas game also exposed New York, as tight end Jason Witten had a catch-and-run that went for 64 yards.
"They all have home-run potential, and if you make a mistake, they're going to make you pay for it," said safety Jim Leonhard. "They have quarterbacks with strong arms. They have speedy running backs and receivers. And with Dallas and New England, you're talking about great tight ends. No room for error."
The Jets have been drilling home the message of preventing the big play this week. Defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson said his coaches are repeating the message from the Oakland game—to seal off the outside lanes to force San Diego to run the ball into the middle where there's more congestion.
Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said it would be "easier said than done" to keep the Chargers, who have two 6-foot-5 receivers, quiet. But he said it might be necessary to win.
"If you watch film of the Kansas City-San Diego game, the [2-3] Chiefs were able to keep it close because they really didn't allow the [4-1] Chargers to get any explosive plays," he said. "When we've allowed plays like that is when we've found ourselves having subpar performances."

In a recent Associated Press story titled "Looking for U.S. records? Good Luck," the Obama administration comes under fire for regularly censoring files, shooting down requests or taking its time filling people's orders.
These statements seem to somewhat contradict the president's own election vows to have the "most transparent presidency ever."
In a January 2009 White House meeting with his senior staff, President Barack Obama assured them that, "I will also hold myself as president to a new standard of openness. Let me say it as simply as I can. Transparency and the rule of law will be the touch tones of this presidency."
The White House webpage: "Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and agencies:
"My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level and openness in government."

Some XMPP/Jabber servers (e.g. Openfire) support single-sign-on authentication using Kerberos. Pidgin claims to support this, but I was unable to find documentation on how to set it up.
There is no explicit "use Kerberos" option in the settings for an account. If a server lists GSSAPI as one of its supported mechanisms, the logged-in user has valid Kerberos credentials in their cache, and the appropriate SASL GSSAPI libraries are installed on the client machine, then it will use Kerberos for authentication.
The installation of the SASL GSSAPI libraries was what initially tripped me up. At the time of writing, the documentation does not appear to mention this. Since Pidgin does not know that you want Kerberos authentication for an account, no error is generated if they are not installed; it simply tries to use one of the other authentication mechanisms available.
On Debian and its derivatives (e.g., Ubuntu), this can be resolved by installing the

Kristen Stewart, Chloe Sevigny to Take a Whack at Lizzie Borden Movie
"Waste Land" director Pieter Van Hees will bring Lizzie Borden's story to the big screen, with Sevigny in the title role and Stewart playing the family's maid.
"Waste Land" director Pieter Van Hees will bring Lizzie Borden's story to the big screen, with Sevigny in the title role and Stewart playing the family's maid.
The high-profile trio of actors will star in the prominent director's next feature film, the plot and title of which remains — as usual — a mystery.
The Walking Dead veteran is said to be in talks with Universal Pictures to direct a follow-up to the 2012 action fantasy that would turn the focus on Chris Hemsworth's character.
The Walking Dead star is reportedly up for a role in Relativity Media's new adaptation of the James O'Barr comic.
As rumors swirl about professional fallout from Kristen Stewart's affair with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, Universal Pictures insists it's moving ahead with a sequel — one that focuses on Chris Hemsworth's character.
Author Stephenie Meyer joined the cast of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 at Comic-Con International to reveal the first seven minutes of the film and to discuss the finale of the blockbuster franchise.
After lining up a writer, Universal Pictures has begun talks with director Rupert Sanders to return for the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, which opened June 1.
Despite a menacing performance by Charlize Theron and breathtaking cinematography, director Rupert Sanders' fairy-tale reimagining Snow White and the Huntsman doesn't so much enchant as it bores.
At CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Universal Pictures teased its film slate all the way into summer 2013, with previews of Snow White and the Huntsman, The Bourne Legacy, R.I.P.D. and much more.
Director Rupert Sanders met with the press at WonderCon to discuss his feature film debut with Universal Pictures' big-budget Snow White and the Huntsman.
Directors Peter Berg and Rupert Sanders appeared Saturday at WonderCon to discuss Universal Pictures' Battleship and Snow White and the Huntsman, bringing with them stars Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart, Alexander Skarsgård and Brooklyn Decker.
The trailer for Universal Pictures' Snow White and the Huntsman that debuted over the weekend at WonderCon has been released online.

Tree Lodi, Inc. thanks the http://www.lodinews.com/">Lodi News-Sentinel for the excellent photo coverage of our tree-planting event at Lodi Lake on Saturday, Nov. 25. This three was a Tree Lodi memorial project.
One correction I would like to make in the accompanying write-up is that we, along with city staff, will be planting the 100th Centennial tree, not our 100th tree, on Dec. 6 at Hutchins Street Square.
We planted the first of the 100 trees in February in front of Carnegie Hall but cannot take credit for 100 trees, as we have only assisted at the planting of others during the year, along with volunteers from many local organizations.

The Helion Sequence in Studio on KEXP 1/29/08
Two guys. One drum kit. One guitar. Two microphones. Seeing such a bare-bones set-up, it's easy to get a little nervous about what that's going to mean for a studio session. It's different when there's one musician with a guitar — that seems easy to pull off. A full band also seems like a no-brainer. But listening to The Helio Sequence's new record, Keep Your Eyes Ahead, you have to wonder how the duo will pull it off live — let alone in a small space, early in the morning, with this kind of setup.
Before the performance, I had been counting the hours until the band was to play. Every day, I would play Keep Your Eyes Ahead and tell anyone and everyone that it was the best thing to come out so far in 2008. The anticipation was heightened even more by the fact that the record was being released the day the duo was in our studio.
Luckily, the session was exactly what I'd hoped for and more. The two best friends had been working on the album for some time, and overcame serious issues (like Brandon Summers' damaged vocal cords and the temptation for Benjamin Weikel to shift over to the Modest Mouse camp). You can hear that focus and cohesiveness in the recording, but watching The Helio Sequence live, you could really see these two as tight, talented musicians. While sitting in on the session, I was able to catch all the subtle moments, like the two of them exchanging a few smiles during the performance. Almost a "Man, this is fun!" kind of look. It sent chills down my spine to hear that kind of passion on the radio. Moody shifts, doo-wop-infused anthems, and total clarity and cohesion marked this session as one of the best of 2008.

The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trailby Oscar Martinez

One day a few years ago, 300 migrants were kidnapped between the remote desert towns of Altar, Mexico, and Sasabe, Arizona.

One day a few years ago, 300 migrants were kidnapped between the remote desert towns of Altar, Mexico, and Sasabe, Arizona. A local priest got 120 released, many with broken ankles and other marks of abuse, but the rest vanished. Óscar Martínez, a young writer from El Salvador, was in Altar soon after the abduction, and his account of the migrant disappearances is only one of the harrowing stories he garnered from two years spent traveling up and down the migrant trail from Central America and across the US border. More than a quarter of a million Central Americans make this increasingly dangerous journey each year, and each year as many as 20,000 of them are kidnapped.
Martínez writes in powerful, unforgettable prose about clinging to the tops of freight trains; finding respite, work and hardship in shelters and brothels; and riding shotgun with the border patrol. Illustrated with stunning full-color photographs, The Beast is the first book to shed light on the harsh new reality of the migrant trail in the age of the narcotraficantes.
Editorial Reviews
This searing account of the hardships suffered by Central American migrants headed through Mexico to the United States comes from true shoe-leather reporting. In 2007 and 2008, Salvadoran journalist Martinez criss-crossed the most dangerous parts of Mexico to capture stories of Hondurans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans traversing what's increasingly become a criminal narco-state. Robbery, kidnapping, rape, and assault are "the inevitable tolls of the road" imposed by cartels that have branched out into human trafficking and extortion. Martinez observes that today, human trafficking and prostitution isn't "…a scar-faced man tending a cage of women. It's a complex system of everyday lies and coercions that happen just behind our backs." A journey marred by armed assaults and fatal accidents on "The Beast" (a freight train running north through the state of Oaxaca) is a trip "soaked with blood." This straightforward translation, first published in Spanish in 2010, doesn't flinch at migrants' plight, and as the drug wars further rend Mexico asunder, it's hard to imagine the situation changing. (Oct.)
"Harrowing … The graceful, incisive writing lifts The Beast from being merely an impressive feat of reportage into the realm of literature. Mr. Martínez has produced something that is an honorable successor to enduring works like George Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier or Jacob Riis's How the Other Half Lives."
—New York Times
"The most extraordinary (and harrowing) book I read this year. Beautiful and searing and impossible to put down."
—Junot Díaz
"The world that Oscar Martínez, a Salvadoran journalist, set out to report on five years ago is so violent, depraved and hellish, you can hardly believe he survived to tell the tale... rugged prose, beautifully translated."
—The Economist
"Martínez is a powerful storyteller and his approach to investigative journalism is closer to anthropological immersion: He walks with migrants through bloody forests, eats with them at spartan shelters, and rides with them atop speeding trains."
—Columbia Journalism Review
"The Beast, like so many great books, lands on you with a revelatory frisson, the arrival of a story we didn't know we were waiting to hear."
—Los Angeles Review of Books
"… Martínez's debut is the hard-won result of immersive journalism."
"This searing account of the hardships suffered by Central American migrants headed through Mexico to the United States comes from true shoe-leather reporting."
—Publisher's Weekly
"To understand the dramatic realities faced by the migrants who flee northwards to find work in the United States, Óscar Martínez literally jumped trains and dodged killers. He deserves praise not only for his efforts, and for what he writes about, but because he writes so very well."
—Jon Lee Anderson, staff reporter for the New Yorker
"A heartbreaking book about the world's most invisible people. A revelatory work of love and hair-raising courage."
—Alma Guillermoprieto, Latin America correspondent for the New York Review of Books, author of Dancing with Cuba
"Óscar Martínez is a journalist of uncommon bravery and a writer of prodigious talent. The Beast is a powerful, necessary book, one of the finest pieces of journalism to emerge from Latin America in years."
—Daniel Alarcón, author of At Night We Walk in Circles
Grim, grisly account of the predations suffered by impoverished migrants on the hazardous journey to el Norte. Previously published in Spain in 2010 and in Mexico in 2012, Martínez's debut is the hard-won result of immersive journalism. After several large-scale kidnappings of migrants, the author spent two years following the routes used by undocumented travelers though Mexico. He found that the rise of powerful, violent drug cartels has eradicated the rules of an already challenging journey; now, the migrants are universally viewed as human chattel to be exploited. Martínez writes precisely, with bleak gallows humor, as when he notes of cops unhappy with his investigation, "a dead migrant is commonplace, but a couple of dead journalists is another matter." Yet all his observations are numbingly bleak. He finds border cities, like the notoriously violent Ciudad Juarez, to be "racked by a madness akin to civil war," while the feared Los Zetas "have infiltrated everywhere. Not even the Army is clean." The narrative is a litany of horrors: casual murder, near-universal sexual assault and frequent accidental deaths via freight-hopping. Martínez portrays a Mexican society in which these pathologies are universally understood, yet cartel intimidation and bureaucratic corruption have destroyed the social order: "There is, simply put, nobody to assure the safety of migrants in Mexico." Meanwhile, the United States' high-tech border militarization has resulted in a "funneling" effect, forcing vulnerable migrants and drug smugglers to share increasingly constricted routes. "Where is it safe to cross? And the answer is, nowhere," he writes. "The US government has made sure of that." Martínez develops attentive portraits of the migrants, officials, aid workers and criminals he encounters; his first-person account is executed with passion and grit, illuminating a heartbreaking yet easily ignored reality. A harrowing look at the real costs of globalization, immigration and drug-prohibition politics, short on solutions and absent hope.

The Beast is a must read for anyone concerned about undocumented workers entering the United States. The Beast focuses on the tremendous challenges faced by people trying to enter the US to escape intolerable conditions in their home countries and the added difficulties faced due to increased efforts on the part of the US to reduce the flow. The influence of drug cartels was particularly eye opening.. Whatever your views on immigration reform, The Beast provides first hand insight into the often nightmarish conditions incurred by people looking to leave behind their old lives for something better.
This book brings the " other side " of the picture into the forefront. Being born in the US, I understand how migrents coming here ends up costing the US; hospital costs, taking jobs; just to nane a couple. Now, lets flip the coin; what parent doesn't want to provide a better life for their children? I commend them for their courage. Review by, Pamisue

After installing the Facebook plugin and finally trying to configure it, my dashboard became blank. As soon as I removed the plugin with the FTP, the dashboard came back.
Did any one ever encounter this? I am wondering if it is a Facebook plugin problem or that the plugin conflicts with another one and that is causing the problem.
I am a noob at WordPress, so I might actually be doing something wrong.
Thanks for the help.

Sep 4, 2014An often painful and brutally honest look at love and romance. This film proves that gender makes absolutely no difference... love is love--no matter how tough love is. A fine debut from Thure Lindhardt as Erik.
Nov 10, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't understand why it's 'hip' to remake material we've all seen before with a 'gay' label. If someone has never had experience with addiction, this film might do something. But it skirts its responsibility to delve deeper into the treacherous aspects of bottoming out and recovery - we go from 'just using' to a full-on intervention full of characters we've never met. And then suddenly, "shazam!" they're procaiming their love for each other again.
I found the lead actor distracting - nothing against a foreign accent, but this brought nothing to the film except some unwanted comic parody. I didn't find either believable, and feel that this is another 'make a gay movie' from an angle that once all gays see the light and adopt the broken, pathetic marriage and relationship system of straights, the world will then be all good, golden and complete.
Addiction is a serious disease, and far more rampant in the gay demographic than anywhere else. This film doesn't do much to shed new light, despite the title.… Expand
Awards & Rankings
Every frame pulses with hard-gained experience: it may be the most lived-in film of 2012, and certainly counts among the most moving.
Keep the Lights On feels like a first-rate, late-Seventies experimental student film, or early Scorsese. But then the cycle of addiction takes over the film, and the plot about stagnancy ends up stagnating the film itself.
While not quite on a par with Andrew Haigh's "Weekend," this is still an undeniably powerful piece of filmmaking.

Chrome 18-Bottle Spice Rack
Overall Rating:
Customer Reviews
Rated 3.7 out of 5Â by 40 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by ChiTownSara Just Ok The actual jars are great, but the holes on the sifter are too small for a lot of our spices. It would be better if the box came with a variety of sifters. July 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sussi Space Saver I really like the spice racks (I ordered 2). They look nice, were perfect for my space and now I can find the spice I need without having an avalanche of spices! I do wish they came with labels though. April 9, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Ubatuba Reasonable They look nice stacked on the counter but the chrome is not the best quality, being a bit unstable and tippy. December 14, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by tzaffi Disappointing Purchase The description makes it sounds like the caps are made of chrome metal but they are not. The caps are plastic with a shiny chrome color. But for this price, I expected a much higher quality than what arrived. The rack is also very wobbly and uneven. No care instructions were included so that I do not know if the bottles are dishwasher safe. September 9, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by TammyH I've always wanted this This spice rack looks so nice on my counter and cleaned the clutter in my cabinet. I only wish itt had a pour side to the dispenser, not just shake. If it did I would give it 5â¿¿. April 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by stormrise Great product I cook a lot of Asian/ Indian/ Middle Eastern food, and as a result, I have a LOT of spices to find places for! Sadly, my house was built back in the 80's and the kitchen design, as far as cupboard space goes, is woeful, so all my spices end up cluttering up what small counter space I have. These have helped tremendously, and all that would make these better for me would be for then to be two tiers higher! A word of warning though; make sure that you wash the jars and the lids thoroughly as I found powdered glass grating in the lids of several of the jars. Other than that- great spice racks. December 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Crazyleo I love these! I have two of these racks that sit on my kitchen counter, I've been using them for at least 6 years now -- I wanted something easy to see, nice-looking, and compact, and these fit the bill quite well. As others have said, the lids are pretty cheap plastic, but mine have held up pretty well, no issues on the outside. The "chrome" does need to be wiped/polished every now and then, at least in my messy kitchen, splatters happen and they show up on these fairly obviously. I used a label maker to add clear labels on them, it works well for me. If I could change anything, I would make it so they can be stacked on top of each other, or make units that have more rows. As they are now, they cannot stack, and I have a lot of spices -- I still have a few more that I wish I could fit on them! November 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Gruenegal86 Don't Buy Make sure if you buy this product that it's not bent. All of the spice jars fall out if I place one on the opposite side. Terrible! May 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by breakrow Makes finding my spices much easier Although I have a nice riser type organizer for my spices, I am constantly spending time moving one bottle or another to find what I am looking for. This spice rack is a nice clean way of storing spices and makes them easy to spot. Now my spice cabinet looks like a picture out of the container store! Good price for the bottles and rack. Bought the labels separately February 1, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by flintstonechick Not a good purchase This rack is cheaply made as are the jars. The lids are cheap plastic and not threaded well so they are difficult to get on. November 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MEB5 Perfect Rack! Fits into my cabinet perfectly, easy to label and easy to use..what more do you need! October 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JuliasMom Love these spice containers We love this spice rack. It comes with labels to easily identify the various containers. It doesn't take up much space and actually fits in the lower shelf of one of our upper cabinets. My only complaint would be that it's not easily moveable with all the spices staying on the rack. I'm always worried they're going to fall all over the place when I want to move it to clean. April 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LM88 Kitchen Must I love this spice rack! Before I purchased it I had a spice drawer and was always sorting through a jumble of things. This rack holds 18 spices and comes with all the bottles, lids, and labels. All you have to do is transfer the spices and stick a label on each lid. No more searching! March 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SusieQ34 Best value I needed something affordable but with plenty of jars for my collection of spices. This worked out great for my small apartment kitchen and I got plenty of jars compared to more expensive ones with few jars. February 25, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by 90coyotes If only it had lids that fit and seal well... Beautiful rack that fits well on a countertop or inside a cabinet... and nice-looking, decent quality glass bottles are a good size. BUT... the lids are made from a thin, low-cost plastic with a thin silver coating. The silver coating would likely chip and flake over time. The edges also tend to be somewhat sharp / can cause paper cut type cuts. Main issue: I tried 2 racks with two sets of bottles (36 total) and none of them seal, which is particularly noticeable if you hand-wash the bottles. If you put a small amount of water in a bottle, close the lid, and set it on its side or shake it, the water will leak significantly. This isn't good for keeping your spices fresh or for keeping the scents of all of the spices from mixing together or infiltrating nearby items or a cabinet. Tried to find replacement metal lids with airtight seals... no luck, even online. Also called Polger (manufacturer) to ask about replacement lid options. They have great customer service but could only offer more of the same leaky, thin, plastic lids. Other option was to purchase a set of replacement bottles with sealable lids... expensive and a waste of a set of good bottles because of poor quality lids. February 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by tsaria Almost Perfect I like this spice rack a lot! The jars are a great size, and I love that they are glass. The rack takes up very little space. I don't use the sifter lid things but it's nice to have them JIC. The reason I took one star off is that the lids are plastic. If they were metal I would have given 5 stars. It does say "chrome plated" in the description, but for some reason I was still not expecting bendable plastic. While I'm on the subject of possible improvements, these are not currently stackable. If they were that would be the icing on the cake, because it turns out I have more like 36 spices to put in jars... December 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JessDawne Love it!! I have been coping with a very messy spice cabinet for years! My spices were usually just shoved into a plastic shoe box-like container and shoved on top of the fridge, making it very difficult to find and free the spices that I need. This spice rack is PERFECT and just what I needed! It came with 18 glass spice jars, no labels though, which was fine, I was able to buy the ones I prefered. I may end up ordering a second one! :) Overall, highly satisfied! October 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mmgapeach Good but where's the labels These are very nice looking and hold a lot of product, but I'm use to having some type of label on my products. I ended up taping paper to it so I know what it is. August 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Teddy001 Perfect! I am so pleased with the spice rack. Clean lines. Sifter spouts. The only negative would be the absence of the labels. Perfect size for my spice spots, thanks to the excellent customer service. August 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KRon Great space saver I bought this spice rack to replace a "stadium seating" style multi-tiered rack that was taking up way too much of my limited counter space. I also bought the spice funnel and label pack. It would be nice if they were included for the price, since the rack isn't nearly as useable without them. But it was worth it anyway since now I can keep my coffee maker out on the counter. May 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Organizer35 Satisfied with Purchase I purchased this spice rack about 2 years ago. 18 jars is a good number for me, and the rack fit well in my space. It keeps my spices organized and still looks great. The one drawback is that the holed in the covers are a little small for some spices. When you encounter that issue, however, you can just remove the plastic to pour and then replace it. April 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by FrankG Almost perfect I really like this product. The footprint is very small, and the height is a perfect size to fit under my bar top. I love that there are dozens of stickers to label the spices, with a few blanks to customize your own. The only issue I have is that it's difficult to keep clean. Don't keep it out on the counter if you don't want it to get sticky and dusty! April 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by EWUeagle Great spice storage Love the product! Looks great and takes up less space in my cupboard. April 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LindaM Finally! the perfect spice rack i had been looking for a spice rack to fit in the limited space above my stove for a while. The ones i found were more vertical than horizontal, and many came with spices, which i already own. i was pleasantly surprised to finally find one that was perfect for my space and needs! i bought 2 for myself and in discussions afterwards, found out that my stepmother had the same needs, so of course, we purchased one for her as well. LOVE IT. April 9, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Mistress Flimsy I needed a rack that would fit into a small space and I thought this would be perfect, but the rack is a little too flimsy for my liking. As other reviewers mentioned, the bottles fall out easily. I was worried one might fall out and break. Also, one of the lids on a jar was already peeling. Not high quality. March 19, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Uncontainable Organize with Spice Love the way this spice rack looks clean & organized. The jars can be labeled on the lid which is even more handy and makes my spices easily accessible. March 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bubu Great Product! Love, love, love this product! I have so many spices i had to buy 2 racks, but they are wonderful for saving space and keeping my spices in order. March 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by KarenInCambridge Strangely mixed quality I wanted to give this either 1 star or 5 stars - so here's the average. The rack itself is great - fits the space perfectly and is quite sturdy. But the jars are slightly too small for the rack, and the jars on the bottom row fall out easily. Worse yet, the lids on the jars are cheap and flimsy -- one broke when I twisted it off the jar! It works better for me if I use my penzey's spices in their own jars. So I'm throwing out the jars that came with it, but keeping the rack. The rack suits my needs perfectly. March 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KDFrawg Great Spice Rack, service a little slow These spice racks (I ordered two initially and have now ordered a third) are exactly as specified. They are sturdy, unobtrusive, and exactly what I wanted. The metal racks were more than strong enough and the chrome on the plastic bottle lids stayed put, even when a label was removed. It seemed like it took a long time for them to be packed and shipped, though, and the FedEx ground service also seemed slow. February 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LauraL Finally a spice funnel You know you've needed one forever. I have. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. The spout part is a bit long for my spice jars, but that's okay, you just lift it up and it works fine. August 28, 2011

Wanaka skeleton racer Katharine Eustace achieved her best
result of the season at the world championships last weekend.
She finished in 10th, the best result by a New Zealand
''All the races this year were preparation for this event
with equipment testing and training plans, so it was good to
know that it has been successful,'' Eustace said.
Her performance in St Moritz, Switzerland, was an improvement
on her 13th at last season's world championships, and an
encouraging sign for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia,
next February.
''It shows that I can certainly be pushing into the top 10
and higher if things do go well.''

DALLAS - United Supermarkets will serve as chief underwriter for one of the longest multistage bicycling events in the United States, a 10-day race that will use West Texas and the Metroplex as its backdrop.
Tuesday's announcement, one of the biggest since the Lubbock-based supermarket chain committed $10 million to construction of Texas Tech's United Spirit Arena, was made at the Hyatt Regency.
United also used the occasion to raise cancer awareness by donating $350,000 to the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which was formed by the five-time Tour de France champion and survivor of testicular cancer.
Armstrong, who is participating in the Tour of Algarve in Portugal, was unable to attend Tuesday's announcement, but he was represented by his mother, Linda.
Amid a shower of red and blue balloons released over 12 cyclists who pedaled around the hotel's Landmark Ballroom, United said its United Texas Tour will involve as many as 140 riders from 16 to 18 domestic and international teams.
United Texas Tour
Key Stat: United Texas Tour will have richest purse in country.
Purse: $175,000
The teams will make their way from the Metroplex into every community where the supermarket chain owns a store, including Lubbock and Amarillo, before cycling back to Dallas, the company said.
The race, to debut in September 2005, is fully sanctioned by USA Cycling, which is the largest governing body for bicycling in the United States and whose members total more than 45,000.
Atlanta-based Medalist Sports, which has sponsored events such as the Goodwill Games, will oversee the race, the route of which has yet to be determined.
United has committed $1.5 million to the $4 million event. However, other major corporate underwriters are expected to be named soon.
At $175,000, the United Texas Tour also represents the richest purse in U.S. cycling.
L. Kent Moore, chief executive officer for United, said that in addition to the race and cancer awareness, the chain plans to use the event to promote itself and its brand, particularly in the Dallas area, where it's a relative newcomer to the marketplace.
United recently opened a Market Street store in Colleyville and, in March, has a second store coming on line in McKinney.
"But our mainstay is still the small towns of West Texas where we're committed and where this race will pass through," he said.
Moore added, "We hope this is going to be the premiere cycling event. We know the (bicycle) racing community is incredibly excited about this and so are we."
Moore said United's race organizers plan to take advantage of the lay of the land, from flat open spaces to steep canyons. Over the 1,000-mile stretch, cyclists will endure the dry winds of West Texas as well as the heavy, muggy air associated with more eastern parts of the state.
Jim Burrell, president of Medalists Sports, said United has created a dual platform that will promote cycling in the United States as well as cancer awareness.
"This is going to be an invitation-only event patterned after the Tour de France," he said.
Burrell said a second major announcement about the race will take place April 19 in Macon, Ga., with the start of the Dodge Tour de Georgia. Medalists Sports intends to make a presentation to the international press.
Gerard Bisceglia, executive director of USA Cycling, said United Texas Tour will be one of just a few major cycling events held in the United States each year.
"We're thrilled. Hopefully, this will keep some of our good riders here who feel they have to go to Europe. It's a big hill to climb, but a program like this inspires others to get involved in the sport," he said.
