WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Simmons drop-side cribs
Units: About 50,000
Manufacturer: Simmons Juvenile Products, of New London, Wis.
Hazard: The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC has received 30 reports of drop sides that have malfunctioned or detached. Two children became entrapped between the drop side and the crib mattress but were freed without injury. Two other children fell out of their cribs when the drop side malfunctioned and one child sustained scratches due to the fall.
Description: This recall includes Simmons Easy Side Drop-side cribs. Specific model and style numbers included in the recall are listed on the firm's website at www.cribrecallcenter.com. Style numbers are printed on a permanent label on the headboard.
Model numbers: 011641; 011671; 011941; 015341; 016061; 016771; 016821; 016831; 017201 ; 017211; 017351; 018500; 018501; 018502; 018510 ; 018511; 018512; 026261; 028061; 028081; 028180; 029061; 29062; 029071; 029180; 029561; 029562; 029571; 034060; 034560; 039180; 044091; 053091; 065071; 068261; 068271; 068561; 201060; 202060; 202080; 202180; 202181; 203060; 204060; 204180; 205060; 206060; 207060; 209560; 211060; 211080; 212060; 214060; 214080; 215060; 216060; 216070; 216080; 216180; 216180; 216570; 218060; 219560; 220180; 220181; 221060; 221070; 221070; 221077; 222060; 222070; 224060; 225060; 225070; 225080; 227560; 228060; 229060; 230060; 231070; 236180; 236187; 236188; 236189; 238060; 238069; 239180; 239187; 239189; 240060; 248069; 251060; 251069; 257060; 261060; 053091A; 251060M.
Sold at: Children's product stores and other retailers nationwide and on-line from January 2002 through February 2007 for between $100 and $500.
Manufactured in: United States, Indonesia, Croatia, Canada and China
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Simmons to request a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop side. Repair kits will be available in the next few weeks. In the meantime, find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child's age.
Consumer Contact: Please visit the website, www.cribrecallcenter.com, which has pictures and instructions to help you easily identify and order the correct kit, or call (877) 342-3439 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Note: More information about the special industry program to provide free immobilization kits.
Important Message from CPSC: CPSC reminds parents not to use any crib with missing, broken, or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for disengagement. Disengagements can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib. Babies have died in cribs where repairs were attempted by caregivers. Age is factor in the safety of any crib. At a minimum, CPSC staff recommends that you not use a crib that is older than 10 years. Many older cribs may not meet current voluntary standards and can have numerous safety problems.
Visit CPSC's Crib Information Center for more information on Crib Safety and Recalls.

Today is the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network's Day of Silence, an event meant to bring attention to the "silencing effect" of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools. In classrooms across the country, thousands of young people will stay silent throughout the day as part of an annual student-led effort that has been occurring since 1996.
In anticipation of the Day of Silence, People For the American Way recently released a new policy toolkit, Education Without Discrimination: Creating Safe Schools for All Students, which provides activists with the tools they need to advocate for critical safe schools reforms. The toolkit includes lobbying and media tips, talking points, sample materials, and background info on the lead federal legislation, the Safe Schools Improvement Act (SSIA) and Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA).
Unfortunately the Religious Right continues to rail against commonsense legislation like SSIA and SNDA that would help make our schools safe for all students. Right-wing activist Gordon Klingenschmitt has warned that the Student Non-Discrimination Act would "give homosexuals and perverts protected status" and "mandate pro-homosexual recruiting of kids in public schools." Just this week, Mission America's Linda Harvey – who once claimed that anti-bullying programs would turn schools into "indoctrination camps" – publicly encouraged young LGBT people to stay in the closet.
To learn more about how to stand up to these hateful attacks and push for positive change, check out the safe schools toolkit.
For too many students, school is not a safe place. More than six in ten LGBT students have felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation and more than four in ten because of their gender expression. Losing their sense of safety means that they lose access to the quality education all students deserve.
In anticipation of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network's Day of Silence on April 11, an annual event to highlight the silence created by anti-LGBT harassment in schools, today People For the American Way released a new policy toolkit, Education Without Discrimination: Creating Safe Schools for All Students.
From talking points to sample lobbying letters to social media resources, the toolkit is designed to help you understand and advocate for the critical legislation that has been introduced in Congress to address this problem, including the Safe Schools Improvement Act and the Student Non-Discrimination Act.
Together we can send a loud and clear message to Congress: all students deserve safe schools.

WASHINGTON — Julie Friedman, 40, and her fiance, Jonathan Spector, 48, were on a mission last fall to find a home that would comfortably fit the two of them plus their combined five kids.
They were well aware that any house might need some tweaking to fit the bunch, so they brought along Howard Kandel, who is a design builder — a contractor who both designs and remodels homes.
Thanks to new technology, little needs to be left to the imagination when it comes to home building, renovations and purchases these days. Remodeling companies use 3-D home-design software to present computer images of what a renovated home could end up looking like.
"At the end of the day, very few people have the imagination to be able to look at a set of plans and have any idea of what that's actually going to look like," Kandel says. "We can throw in furniture and wall coverings, paint colors and different materials and literally build it probably to 90 to 95 percent of what it's really gonna look like."
Friedman, who is a landscape designer, had always wanted a rambler with a U-shaped patio.
"I wanted to feel like you would walk out of the back of your house and be surrounded by the garden, surrounded by the house," she says. "And somehow we just found it."
Her dream home was on the market in Rockville, Md. But there was one problem: It was short two much-needed bedrooms. Cue Mr. Kandel.
Using a 3-D home-design software package called Chief Architect, Kandel showed Friedman and Spector a lifelike rendering of what that house would become if they converted an unwanted formal family room into two extra rooms for the kids.
"It really felt like what your home was going to look like," Friedman says. "Some of the girls' rooms were going to be these bright fun colors instead of just a plain white room, so he was able to change the color of the walls and change the color of the furniture."
Companies such as Kandel Construction and Bowa in the Washington area work with real-estate professionals to help buyers visualize their dream homes.
"We'll reach out to Realtors and say, 'If you have somebody who's seriously looking at this house, but they don't have the vision to understand that they want to do this, this or this, let us help,'" says principal/owner George Hodges-Fulton of Bowa.
Along with images of the remodeled house, these firms provide shoppers with estimated costs so they can determine if a house is still affordable if it needs renovations. "Most of the time, that gives confidence to the consumers so that they're able to purchase the home and move forward," Hodges-Fulton says.
The cost of having a design builder produce the 3-D renderings, determine the full scope of the renovations and figure out a preliminary budget can range from $500 to $5,000 depending on the size of the project, Kandel says. His firm will hold that money as a retainer and use it toward the overall budget if you hire them to also do the construction.
Conversely, Bowa sees this work as a marketing expense and does not charge for the service. It's a wise investment, Hodges-Fulton says. Many times, after house hunters gain the confidence to buy a home because of Bowa's input, they will hire Bowa to do the rest of the job.
You don't have to be shopping for a new home to benefit from this technology. Robyn Futrovsky, 53, and her husband, Mark, 56, had lived in their home for 21 years before looking last year to make their laundry room bigger and update the kitchen and family room.
The couple had asked for proposals from a few different companies, but Futrovsky says she didn't love the flat architectural plans the others presented.
"Howard (Kandel) did the plans, but along with them, he also said, 'Before you look at this, let me show you what this looks like in 3-D,'" she says. Even though Futrovsky is a freelance interior designer and familiar with architectural plans, the 3-D renderings helped to sway her.
One project was to remove a superfluous back staircase, which would give the family room 3 extra feet.
"Three feet doesn't sound like a big amount of space," Futrovsky says. "It was hard for my husband to visualize, and to be quite honest, it was difficult for me to visualize how 36 inches was really going to give me a larger family room."
To help them appreciate his vision, Kandel decorated the digital room with digital furniture, placing two chairs with a game table in the corner.
"I was like, 'Well that's not going to work, because you know my family is six people and there's four chairs,'" Futrovsky says. She asked Kandel to put a sectional in the new space, and suddenly the room was transformed perfectly.
For nonprofessionals who want to attempt to virtually rebuild or decorate their homes, Chief Architect offers software starting at $59. Of course, there are apps for that, too. Check out Home Design 3D for iPad and iPhone, or BuildApp for Android.
But professionals advise that you give them a call.
"Not to be a tech nerd, but it's garbage in, garbage out," Hodges-Fulton says. "If a person who's using a software doesn't understand software or frankly doesn't have the creativity to ask the software to generate what they're envisioning in their own head, it doesn't work."
The DIYer versions of the software can help you communicate more easily with your builder, says Scott Harris, Chief Architect's vice president of sales and marketing. Ninety percent of customers who use Chief Architect's DIY software "Home Designer" use it to give their builder ideas of how they'd like a renovation to turn out, he says. The builder is then able to develop formal designs from there.

Best cream around!!
Posted by TrueReviews on Nov 15, 2013
The only cream that I've tried, (and I've tried a lot!) that really works! It's amazing! It does retexturize the skin, and evens out discolourations and wipes out blemishes. It contains the Perricone formula, at a fraction of a price. I use it under make up too and my make up seems more even. I have recommended this cream to all my friends and my mum and they are all very happy with it. Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.
On My Second Jar!

I love this product. I bought this product because it's vegan, it has 1% alpha lipoic acid and contains C-Ester (Ascorbyl Palmitate). Please note: Your creams should have C-Ester not Ester-C. They are not the same thing. I apply it every morning. I cleanse my face, apply derma e AHA liberally over face and neck, and then apply derma e alpha lipoic, c-ester, dmae cream liberally. My skin is clear. No more breakouts. No more foundation. My face glows. Thank You Dr. Perricone!
Finally my rough skin is soft
Posted by Reviewer1581364 on Oct 25, 2011
I have very difficult skin. I've always had extremely oily skin and over the last 2 years, it's also become rough, leathery and dry. Can you imagine it! I never know whether to use products for oily or dry skin. I've tried many different creams, including Shiseido, Olay, Clinique etc. and they didn't work at all. This cream really works! The biggest difference is how SOFT my skin feels. I keep running my finger across my cheek just to feel it! But the cream is not heavy at all. I put it on and and it's instantly absorbed, which is perfect for the oilyness problem. Love this product and have recommended it to anyone that will listen.
Bye bye wrinkles!!! It realy does work!!!!!
Posted by Reviewer2517139 on Sep 06, 2009
It has not been overnite, but I can honestly say that this cream works, it feels nice and has DRAMATICALLY reduced the lines that I have noticed around my eyes, nose and above my lips. I was considering buying one of those machines that exercise the face muscles, then i read a best selling book recommending a cream that cost a fortune, so found this cream on the internet with the same ingredients for 1/8th of the price and had it shipped to the UK. I am going to order quite a few more and recommend to my friends. And you dont need very much so it will last! Amazing stuff!!!!
Posted by Reviewer1152279 on Jan 11, 2008
Ladies, I started using this cream after research showed that DMAE could tone facial skin. It really works! 20 minutes after you apply it, your skin is tighter and more toned and only gets better with time. It is non-greasy and non-fragranced. Makeup goes on great over it. Also the alpha lipoic acid and vitamin c make your skin glow. Believe me, I've tried products 3 times as much and this is the best of the best! You'll love it.
Posted by AthinaT on Mar 16, 2009
excellent moisturizing properties, very emmolient, very easily absorbed, doesn't leave my skin shiny, my skin feels smooth and comfortable all day, makeup is applied comfortably and easily. i've only been using it for one week, so i do not know the long-term effects, but my demanding mid-40s skin is extremely satisfied so far. the price is unbelievably low for its supreme quality. five stars to iHerb as well, for the overall service, very highly recommended. i will definitely return as as customer.

After watching one of the medical shows on tv, I took their advice and orderes a dmae cream with alpha lipoic-c ester. Iam 67 yrs old (young), and I have been using it for about three weeks.I can now stop ordering my expensive creams, I absoultly love it. But don't forget your sunscreen.
Absolutely the best!

I have been using this creme for a long time. I am always recieving compliments on my skin. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the Derma E creme. I also use this cream as a cosmetic foundation by just adding a bit of tint. I would recomend this product to all.
Your skin will thank you
Posted by Reviewer2298000 on Oct 14, 2009
I've stopped using all the high-end products like Dior after I've come across this one. I'm 28 and been using this cream for only 2 mths, then there are ppl asking me what makeup I'm wearing when I'm actually not wearing any. I apply it at night Consistently and now my face has never looked better. It glows, is brightened, younger, and with reduced pores & smile lines. It truly is an excellent product for any women at any age.

Election In Newfoundland And Labrador
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Joe McGuire Egmont, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and congratulate Premier Brian Tobin and the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador on their successful re-election.
Yesterday voters in that province returned a Liberal majority government, a fourth consecutive Liberal majority, the second under Premier Tobin's leadership.
The people of Newfoundland and Labrador have renewed the Liberal government's mandate to continue its agenda of reducing unemployment, balancing the budget and ensuring that the province receives the full benefit of its present and future resources, including mineral exploration, energy production and a rejuvenated and diversified fishing industry.
It is fitting, in the year commemorating the 50th anniversary of Newfoundland joining the Canadian family, that the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador is the victor in yesterday's election.
Joey Smallwood can rest easy. I congratulate Brian Tobin and the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador.
The South Alberta Regiment
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Jim Hart Okanagan—Coquihalla, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to inform the House that this afternoon I will be presenting to the Library of Parliament the history of the South Alberta Regiment. The book entitled The South Albertas: A Canadian Regiment at War , is the story of five infantry militia units that together formed the South Alberta Regiment and ended the war as Canada's finest regiment in the Canadian armoured corps.
As part of the 4th Armoured Division, the South Alberta Regiment played a major roll in a number of significant battles, including the Battle of Falaise Gap where Major David Currie of C Squadron won the Victoria Cross. Mrs. Currie is with us in the gallery today.
Removed from the order of battle in 1954, the South Alberta Regiment is a sterling example of Canada's militia and a proud part of our military heritage. With 316 casualties, their unofficial motto was "You've been through the mud and the blood and I hope that you reach the green fields beyond". Their record indicates that the South Alberta Regiment deserves nothing less.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc.
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Janko Peric Cambridge, ON
Mr. Speaker, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada of Cambridge, a leading North American auto manufacturer, recently received the Most Supportive Employer for Ontario award from the Canadian Forces Liaison Council.
As stated by the Minister of National Defence, Toyota was recognized for "performing an important act of patriotism" by supporting its employee reservists who serve with dedication in Canada's Armed Forces.
Toyota has invested $2.2 billion in a state of the art automotive plant in Cambridge, provided 2,700 quality jobs to Canadians and has generously supported local charities and community organizations.
I know that the people of Cambridge and all members will join me in offering Toyota our heartfelt congratulations.
Western Diversification
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Rey D. Pagtakhan Winnipeg North—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, Manitoba welcomes the Cangene Corporation's decision to open its new health biotechnology research and development facility in Winnipeg, not England, thanks to a $3 million repayable loan from the western diversification program.
This program illustrates the commitment of the federal government to advance the economic prosperity of the western and northern regions of Canada.
It is a facility like Cangene's that ensures the creation of jobs for Manitobans, old and young alike.
Manitobans, therefore, find it difficult to understand that another political party has, as its policy, the dismantling of the western diversification program.
The constituents of Winnipeg North—St. Paul salute the federal government for its commitment to sustain this program for Canada's western and northern regions, thereby strengthening our social union as a federation.
Social Union Agreement
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Brenda Chamberlain Guelph—Wellington, ON
Mr. Speaker, I commend the Liberal government on reaching a social union agreement with the provinces. The agreement is proof that the provinces and Ottawa can work together to build a stronger Canada.
The social union will ensure that our crucial social safety net is preserved and enhanced for today's generation and for future generations.
The health accord is a perfect example of the social union at work. The accord has renewed the federal, provincial and territorial commitment to the five principles of the Canada Health Act, ensuring that Canadians everywhere will continue to have access to the highest quality of medicare. Together we are working in the best interests of all Canadians.
The fact that this agreement was reached just before Citizenship and Heritage Week serves as a reminder of all that we have and all that we should be thankful for. After all, Canada truly is the best country on earth.
Health Canada
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Myron Thompson Wild Rose, AB
Mr. Speaker, Monday's National Post reported that Health Canada is dragging its heels on approving the drug TPA in the treatment of strokes and heart attacks.
This is appalling since it has been proven to save thousands of lives in America, yet it is a gamble for those living without the drug in Canada. If a person is one of the lucky few who are admitted to a teaching hospital in which the drug is used they are guaranteed a fighting chance.
I myself stand here in the House of Commons as proof that TPA saves lives. At midnight on October 6, 1990 I had a blood clot travel to the main artery of my heart. I was declared dead for six minutes until TPA was administered and it brought me back to life.
I give full credit to both my doctor and TPA. I would really encourage Health Canada to make the approval of TPA a priority.
The government should be in the business of saving lives. Here is an opportunity to erase its abysmal record of stripping our health care system dry by giving those Canadians suffering from strokes and heart attacks the gift of life.
Whitecap Dakota Sioux First Nation
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Reg Alcock Winnipeg South, MB
Mr. Speaker, today I am pleased to tell the House about a model new partnership between a Saskatchewan first nations community, the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and the city of Saskatoon. This initiative has resulted in jobs, training and improved fire protection for the community.
This week the Whitecap Dakota Sioux First Nation opened a new fire hall and training centre and signed a fire protection service agreement with Saskatoon. This agreement is the first of its kind in Saskatchewan.
What this means is that Whitecap no longer has to rely on services from 30 kilometres away. Now, with its own fire hall, truck, equipment and trained volunteers, the community has the same basic level of fire protection service that other Canadians have. This is a good example of partnership as outlined in the federal government's aboriginal action plan "Gathering Strength".
On behalf of the government I congratulate the chief of Whitecap and the mayor of Saskatoon for working together. With the help of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, this partnership is providing tangible improvements to the community.
2003 Canada Winter Games
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that the Chaleurs and Restigouche regions of New Brunswick have been selected to host the 2003 Canada Winter Games.
This announcement was made possible by the relentless work of the local 2003 Canada Winter Games bid committee. The efforts of the committee, chaired by Brian Theede, bore fruit last night with the confirmation of the 2003 Winter Games being awarded to our region.
The economic fallout from the Games, estimated at $30 million, will be most welcome in our area. The publicity generated by an activity of such scope will have major long-term economic impacts on the region.
I am sure the region will exhibit its usual hospitality, and that the experience will be an unforgettable one. We look forward to seeing everyone there in the year 2003.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Maud Debien Laval East, QC
Mr. Speaker, in less than a week, there have been reports from Colombia concerning a murderous attack by paramilitaries, the murder of two human rights activists, and the kidnapping of four social workers affiliated with the Canadian Catholic organization Development and Peace.
According to a spokesperson for that organization, the kidnap victims were monitoring the actions of paramilitaries in the regions where land is being confiscated. It appears that they were taken in order to sabotage the peace talks between the Colombian government and the guerrillas.
Twenty-five thousand Colombians have protested in the streets of Medellin against the misdeeds of the paramilitary forces. The Bloc Quebecois joins its voice to theirs in demanding that the four people being held hostage by the paramilitaries be freed and the peace process in Colombia resumed.
Bell Canada
Statements By Members
February 10th, 1999 / 2:05 p.m.
Ben Serré Timiskaming—Cochrane, ON
Mr. Speaker, last year BCE, the mother company of Bell Canada, realized net profits of $1.6 billion after a raise in basic rates was approved by the CRTC.
The increase was supposed to finance enhanced services in rural Canada. In the meantime, in my riding of Timiskaming—Cochrane, 5,000 customers served by Northern Telephone, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bell Canada, are still on party lines.
Five thousand customers are still living in the fifties with party lines and rotary phones, which means no fax machines, no Internet and consequently no jobs.
Bell Canada, should be ashamed of itself. It benefited from a monopoly but failed to fulfill its responsibilities. Shame on Bell Canada. It made $1.6 billion in profits and instead of increasing services it laid off people.
I say shame on Bell Canada. I will continue to repeat this statement as long as the problem is not solved.
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Eric C. Lowther Calgary Centre, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has created a class of working poor in Canada. Many angry Canadians rallied on the Hill today and their message was loud and clear.
Liberal economics are putting Canadian families and individuals out on the street. When will this government admit that it is wrong to tax a family making far less than $20,000 a year? When will this government stop draining our social system of its resources, preventing Canadians from helping those who need help the most?
The Liberal government does not hesitate to give out millions of dollars to Canada's largest corporations but laughs when it comes to relieving the pressure on those in real need.
The Prime Minister has talked to the imaginary homeless but some real homeless people are outside still waiting to talk to him. The Prime Minister's absence was noted and so is the government's inability to implement economic and social programs that will allow every Canadian to have a home.
For a country so rich in resources, only the regressive policies of this Liberal government prevent every Canadian from having their needs met.
Social Union Agreement
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Nick Discepola Vaudreuil—Soulanges, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to invite the Government of Quebec and the sovereignists to give careful thought to the advantages of the recent framework agreement on social union.
The sovereignists have decided to turn it into an issue, but they must not forget that the people did not give them a mandate to prepare Quebec's independence.
The people of Quebec want their government to look after their interests, without the usual excessive partisanship that is the annoying trademark of the sovereignists.
The social union is nothing less than a new approach to Canadian federalism reflecting change in our social policy and the needs of Canadians.
I invite the Government of Quebec to sign this agreement as soon as possible.
Social Union Agreement
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Pierre De Savoye Portneuf, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian social union agreement is entitled "A Framework to Improve the Social Union for Canadians".
As Sainte-Beuve put it, "Happy lovers adapt willingly to any framework". This is the way I would describe the unhealthy atmosphere that led nine provinces concerned about us to sign an unconditional surrender, after being starved by the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.
The agreement dwelled as well on the obligation to eliminate barriers to Canadians' mobility. "To eliminate" means "to reject", "to remove". This is a word that unfortunately goes well with the regrettable attitude of the nine provinces concerned about us, which dropped Quebec without a moment's hesitation.
One word, however, is missing from this agreement, inspired by the minister. It is the word "to eat away" as in "to eat away the powers of the provinces".
Electric Vehicle Project
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Bernard Patry Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Mr. Speaker, on January 25 was announced an innovative and ambitious project for the acquisition of electric vehicles in the Montreal area.
The purpose of this Montreal 2000 project is to form a network of between 15 and 20 organizations interested in buying 40 electric vehicles that will become part of their fleet and be used on a regular basis.
This two-year project, estimated at more than $3 million, was made possible through concerted efforts by industry and government partners. The $500,000 in federal assistance will come in part from the climate change action fund, which was established to assist Canada in meeting its Kyoto commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
This is the kind of action the Canadian government encourages in the Montreal area.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Squash - Boys Varsity
The Berkshire squash program is dedicated to developing and fostering college-ready players with our two competitive teams and nurturing a life-long love of the game with our thirds squad. Recent alumni now play at Hobart, Franklin & Marshall, Bates, and St. Lawrence. We work hard to instill strong fundamentals at the Junior Varsity level and continue to refine and expand players' skills as they transition to the Varsity level. Both competitive squads emphasize team development and players work hard to challenge each other during practices. The team travels to multiple tournaments in the region and some varsity players compete in individual tournaments throughout the year.

Modern and voluminous take on the bee hive hairstyle
A departure from the properly fashionable beehive, this hairstyle has taken a turn for the modern and fierce. Ash and dark blonde colors interlace in this long straight hair. A few loose strands, falling from a short center part, have been curled at the ends and artlessly splayed over the shoulder and chest. The main body of the hair has been texturized and then pulled back into a bouffant nearly as wide across as the shoulders. The rise is about 5 inches, and is a perfect foil to the flat, parted section. No clean delineation is seen between the two sections, as strands of hair have been arranged in layers of gradual height, going from flat to up, on both sides of the part.

As you probably know by now, Bumble Bee Foods has decided to close their Prospect Harbor ME sardine cannery - the last sardine cannery left in the United States and the home of Beach Cliff brand sardines. I thought that I had reviewed Beach Cliff sardines at some point, but I found that I was mistaken. I'm sorry I never got around to it, because this post - number 31 in my "fishy delights" series - is going to be more of eulogy than a review. Once that factory is closed and remaining stock "in the pipeline" is sold off, whatever Bumble Bee brings out afterwards isn't going to be "Beach Cliff" any more. That's really too bad, because the sardines Bumble Bee sells under it's own name are less than spectacular.
I wasn't able to try every variety of sardine produced by Beach Cliff because the stores in my area never carried every single kind. But I was able to enjoy five flavors, and I've written up reviews for them. Act quickly if you want to try them for yourself - the last cans will be rolling off the packing lines soon.
Sardines in Soybean Oil - Usually three or four sardine cuts in each can, in a decent-quality light soybean oil. Flavorful without being too "fishy," the sardines were of excellent quality despite their larger size. And they were certainly fairly priced at about a dollar a can on sale (or about $1.25 a can at full price.)
Sardines in Tomato Sauce - Larger size sardines, as with the plain ones packed in soybean oil. I liked the tomato sauce they were packed in - there were notes of garlic and horseradish and some herbs; the sauce was tangy and flavorful.
Sardines in Mustard Sauce - Plain and simple mustard sauce with no adornments. There is something about the sharp flavor of mustard that is very complimentary to sardines, and this variety was excellent - the same high-quality wild-caught Gulf of Maine sardines as in the others.
Sardines in Louisiana Hot Sauce - Nothing packed in "hot sauce" or advertised to a mass market as being "extra spicy" is ever very spicy, and this variety was no exception. That being said, however, this was my favorite of the five flavors I was able to find. The hot sauce, despite its shortcomings, delivered a decent kick with a good pepper flavor behind it. I'll miss this flavor most of all.
Sardines in Soybean Oil with Hot Green Chilies - Another flavor that didn't actually deliver the promised spice level (although there was indeed a little boost.) But there's something about sardines and chilis that have a natural affinity, and because this was the hardest kind of Beach Cliff sardines for me to find, they were always a treat when I got ahold of them.
So there you have it. A day late and a buck short, as my douchebag junior high gym coach used to say, but at least it can stand as a farewell to yet another bit of vanishing New England.

Topic: Apache + Passenger deployment to localhost
Hello guys,
So far it has been really easy to test my apps on my own computer with the default rails server WEBrick, but as you probably know on a production environment it's better to get hands on experience on web servers such as Apache or Nginx. I'm trying Apache plus the Passenger gem, but I'm having problems trying to deploy a Rails app I have on my computer at home to a local Apache on the same computer. I edited the httpd.conf file as the guide says:
LoadModule passenger_module /home/jose/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/passenger-3.0.6/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /home/jose/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/passenger-3.0.6
PassengerRuby /home/jose/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.2-p136/ruby
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /hamldemo/public
<Directory /hamldemo/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
<Directory "/hamldemo/public">
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
But when I try to start Apache I'm getting the following errors:
Warning: DocumentRoot [/hamldemo/public] does not exist
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
This, as you can see leaves me clueless as how to deploy a rails app locally. Is there a particular problem with using a localhost ?
Any help is certainly appreciated !
Best Regards,

3. Updates
- we want to update the volunteer contact list – Hannah hands list around to get details from volunteers attending meeting
- Alcohol Licence Update:

- Volunteer Party – 17 September
- Encouraging Volunteers to come and stay
-Stephen suggests making a leaflet with information about the forest, how to get involved, a part of the constitution in a nice and fancy way for tables/the menu → ask Alex (he did something "What is the Forest"-like last year?)
-we would like to put information about the forest as a volunteer run place on the menu
-Gavin would like to have a map of positions/people of the Forest, Stephen suggests something visual/a flexible poster for the café that clarifies the structure of the forest → this might encourage new vollies
-we want to introduce a fortnightly event for new volunteers to show them around, explain the forest etc. in a nice atmosphere (more personal than vollie guide) → Hannah, Tove, Scout, Tim will work on it

-Dates of Working Group meetings should be put on the weekly programme in the future to make them more open to everyone interested: next meeting are Artists Facilities (Wednesday 7.30), Café&Events (Thursday 7.30)
-so far you find the dates on the BB → maybe have reminders on facebook/another channel?/set up forest volunteer facebook page? /when we put dates of events and meetings together on website it might confuse people
-discussion of different facebook options → Osama will be facebook admin
-Hannah wants to email volunteers once a month reminding them about future meetings/events → email list needs possibility to withdraw oneself easily
-Frank explains that the forest is hiring people from this company who apparently forces people to volunteer (when they refuse to volunteer their benefits are reduced), he brings a pre-written letter on the subject and wants to discuss it
-we are all not very well informed but we know that A4E works with unemployed people, they suggest options to them to make them gain experience, one of the registered options is the forest
-so far we didn't have the impression that any volunteers felt forced/uncomfortable
on the one hand/pro A4E:
-staying with the company might help the people who come from A4E to gain work experience in an alternative environment, they can get in touch with international people...
-if they don't want to work in the kitchen there should be many other ways how they could volunteer at the forest
-the forest is a good opportunity for the people sent by A4E, forest should be open to all
- Gary, experienced with A4E: really helped him, has had a good experience, they seem to have a good knowledge, he personally didn't feel forced
on the other hand/contra A4E:
-employing people makes their carbon footprint expand
-Are they actually volunteers if they are forced to work here? → if that is really happening we should be working with that company
before coming to a conclusion more info on A4E is required, Emma volunteers to find out more, until we have more information and discussed it again we won't take volunteers from A4E any more
5. The next volunteer meeting will be Sunday, 11 October 5pm.

Murder trial Monday: Jury for murder trial set, opening arguments to start after weekend
The 16-member jury, with 12 jurors and four alternates, for the quadruple murder trial of Omar Mohamed Kalmio, 28, was selected Friday morning in the Ward County Courthouse.
Kalmio is being tried on suspicion of the Jan. 28, 2011, murders of Sabrina Zephier, 19, Jolene Zephier, 38, Dylan Zephier, 13, and Jeremy Longie, 22. Each charge is a class AA felony.
Kalmio is represented by attorneys Thomas Glass, of Bismarck, and Kerry Rosenquist, of Grand Forks. The prosecutors are Assistant State's Attorneys for Ward County Kelly Dillon and Sean Kasson.
Two panels of potential jurors, with about 30 members each, were questioned and interviewed Wednesday with two others potential jurors who had missed their Wednesday afternoon panel interviewed Thursday morning. Attorneys had narrowed that pool down to 43 people who were asked a few more questions Friday before a long pause in the proceedings as the defense attorneys and prosecutors used their 10 exemptions each to select the final pool.
Although told to be at the courthouse by 8:30 a.m., the courtroom took care of some "housekeeping," where attorneys and Judge Doug Mattson conferred to clarify procedural items before admitting the pool at about 9:15 a.m. Mattson did thank them "very much" for all showing up on time despite the delay.
The pool was reminded that they were still under oath and then were further questioned by Mattson who asked if they recognized other members in the pool as relatives, friends or co-workers and if they would be able to reach a decision on their own and not be influenced by those they know. They were also read a list of names and were asked if they recognized any of the names. The jury pool was then allowed to talk amongst themselves about anything "like the Vikings," Mattson suggested other than the trial itself.
"Jury pool," Judge Mattson said as he called the court back to order at about 10 a.m., "I'm going to have the clerk call out 16 names. If your name is called please bring your personal effects as you come forward and the bailiffs will usher you into the box where you can be seated." The jurors, split equally between men and women, took their seats in the jury box in the order in which they were called, starting with the back row, and then were asked to raise their right hands as they were sworn in by the clerk of district court.
"Do you solemnly swear that you will consider all of the evidence in this case, follow the instructions given to you, deliberate fairly and impartially and reach a fair verdict so help you God? If so, please signify by saying 'I do.'"
Unanimously, the jury swore the oath and were then let into the jury room as the court adjourned for the day at about 10:15 a.m., earlier than the deadline of 10:30 a.m. that Mattson had requested the previous day.
The actual trial, jury intact, will start Monday, at 8:45 a.m., when opening arguments will be presented.

Good product! BUT WATCH OUT FOR Vit A OVERDOSE
Posted by 5377017213214212687 on Dec 18, 2012
First of all, I have to say this is a great product. It gives good balance of vitamins and minerals. BUT beware, if you are sensitive to vitamin A and/or ingesting it a lot from the other sources, you can instantly end up with chopped lips/ broken skin in the corners of the lips / Angular cheilitis. This used to happened to my girlfriend constantly, since she eats a lot of carrots + 70% daily dosage of vitamin A from this supplement, and there's the problem. If anyone experiences same problem, I recommend splitting tab in 2 pieces, ingesting one in the morning, the other half in the evening. If lip braking still occurs, well, try to take only half a day... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_cheilitis "Angular cheilitis can be caused by bacteria, but is more commonly a fungal infection. It can also be caused by medications which dry the skin, including isotretinoin (Accutane), an analog of vitamin A. Less commonly, it is associated with primary hypervitaminosis A,[8] which can occur when large amounts of liver (including cod liver oil and other fish oils) are regularly consumed or as a result from an excess intake of vitamin A in the form of vitamin supplements."
never buying again
Posted by 4694064749721744211 on Oct 30, 2013
I bought this for the 2nd time but now I learned that a ingredient called Titanium dioxide is very dangerous.Plus the label contradicts itself.It says ''no artificial colors'' and then in the ''other ingredients'' it has listed artificial color number 6 or something.I find that very shady so I'll be avoiding this brand. Plus vitamin B-12 should be in the form of methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin.
contains unhealthy ingredients
Posted by Reviewer1643020 on Jul 30, 2012
contains titanium dioxide and artificial color (FD&C Yellow #6) which are not good for you! because of these two ingredients I had to throw this supplement away.
Not good
Posted by Reviewer1375639 on Feb 25, 2013
I do not feel good at all after taking the vitamins. I tried several times with same result.
You get what you pay for
Posted by 5762363155919124388 on May 20, 2013
If cheap vitamins are your thing then this is your nirvana! synthetic vitamin E and titanium dioxide are two things that inhabit this concoction. If you can't afford anything else then OK but there are many many better options out there but not at this price
An excellent cost-benefit.
Posted by fernandoborges on Aug 29, 2012
One Centrum in Brazil with 100 capsules costs US$ 50. I bought this Centry with 300 capsules for $ 16 in iHerb, and I found an excellent cost-benefit. The vitamins give me more willing to the run, and my skin is more beautiful. I am satisfied, even bought 2 more for my brothers. My purchase took 24 days to arrive in Brazil, without problems or fees.
Good and great price but...
Posted by Julott on May 15, 2013
Good points: should be effective, great price. Bad points: very toxic additives such titanium and FD&C Yellow No. 5.
I like this
Posted by 5514441740105682138 on Dec 07, 2013
I feel my skin, nails etc improving its condition whereby previously, I used to have dull skin, weak nails etc. Now they are a whole lot better.
This is just like 1 day 1 Apple keeps the doctor away!
Posted by MyPersonalReview on Feb 20, 2014
This bottle of supplement has all the vitamins and minerals that 1 body needs to utilize everyday and at such price and the qty, it can last you nearly a year if you forget to eat a number of times in a year and the long expiry date will definitely make it lasts that long.Gave it to my Girlfried whom having thinning hair. I had tried NOW Biotin alone but it only helps to grow help at a faster time though Maxihair speed it faster than just using Now Biotin alone. And with this Added-on, It is a Best Combo to the MAX. Do click my username NOW!!!!!! and view my page in Iherb NOW!!!! to see ALL the reviews I have written of those purchased products I ordered in Iherb. ( It may takes days to months before I write the review as I need to try them thoroughly ensuring the preciseness and accurate experience taking in comparison to the thousands of page of research papers I have read which is the main reason leading me to buy the product from Iherb because simply, I want to contribute myself in this humanity world. ======================================================================================================= Click my nick ▲ at the top of this review (blue text) to visit my profile and learn more, thanks! ======================================================================================================= iHerb.com has become my favorite place to shop supplements, and I'm not alone, because iHerb has been named #1 online supplement store by ConsumerLab.com the last 6 years in a row!

Professor of religion
First year teaching at Luther: 2004
Personal geography: Grew up in a German-speaking village in southern Brazil and learned German, Portuguese, Spanish, English, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew--in that order.
Crossing the continental divide: Big fan of Skype and instant messaging for keeping in touch with family in Brazil.
Wanda's favorite part of teaching is talking with students--in what she calls her Brazilian-South Dakotan accent. (She studied English in Sioux Falls prior to starting graduate study at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary at Northwestern University.)
"When students tell their stories, I learn how much history they bring to their studies," she says, adding that her teaching of traditional theology and Lutheranism explores their cultural context with human rights issues over time.
"It's important for students to recognize their own experience with the stuff we address academically--issues of economic disparity, family violence, racism, classism, sexism--all the things that shape our search for the meaning of life and the improvement of quality of life."
A member of the board directing the new women's and gender studies major at Luther, Wanda regularly partners with colleagues in other fields to share her research interest--embodied theology, or how Christianity should address physical issues like violence and hunger. One course, in conjunction with a dance professor, explores the philosophy and theology of human bodies through movement.
Wanda also teaches Paideia II courses in Brazil, using every experience to analyze culture. "Even a day off at the beach might spark a discussion of the reality of sex tourism, safety issues, and children's rights," she explains. "I get to teach the coolest classes!"

The South Florida Science Museum is getting a jump on christening its newly expanded digs, which is set for a grand opening June 7 (more on that soon!), with the display of the traveling exhibit "Savage Ancient Seas: Dinosaurs of the Deep" on May 17.
The first show to grace the newly opened 6,000-square-foot traveling exhibit hall, "Savage Ancient Seas" takes guests more than 70 million years in the past aquatic world of the late Cretaceous period. Although the era is known for the giant dinosaurs that roamed the continents at the time—like the Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops and Velociraptors—the sea was where the action was.
"Dog eat dog" doesn't begin to describe the mayhem happening along the shores and beneath the surface. Reptiles like the Kronosaurus, a prehistoric crocodile-like creature that was 43 feet long, ruled inland seas and chowed down on 30-foot Plesiosaurs and hulking Protostegidae—giant ancestors of the sea turtle. The deep was ruled by prehistoric sharks, some as long as 30 feet; species like the Cretoxyrhina and Squalicorax were the bridge to what would be called true sharkse. And while prey may have thought the coast was clear after making the gauntlet race to near shore, Pterosaurs brought death from above: These flying reptiles made a living picking off fish, reptiles and small mammals along the coasts. In those days, nowhere and nobody was safe.
The South Florida Science Museum will bring this fascinating time to life, all with the comfort of knowing humans are not on the menu (rest assured, there will be no plesiosaurs in the touch tank). The exhibit has something for everyone, including fossils and specimens, interactive touch displays and informative kiosks, each shining light into the life cycles, daily activities and environment of these fascinating animals that once roamed Earth.
- Savage Ancient Seas will be on display through September 16.
- The grand reopening of the new South Florida Science Museum, as well as its renaming, will take place June 7 with free admission.
- For more information on Savage Ancient Seas and the science museum, visit sfsm.org.

Club member Harry Howard of Medford, Oregon, came up with this simple, accurate method for sharpening his plane knife with a homemade jig. He used a block of hardwood large enough to accept a 2 x 6-in. oilstone as the jig body and inset two 1/16 x 1/2-in. steel runners on each side. He formed the knife rest from a small length of hardwood, through which he inserted a 1/4-in.-dia. steel rod. When sharpening the knife, Harry establishes the angle by using a sliding T-bevel placed behind the knife rest. Brought to you by: American Profile

Nvidia Corp. has unveiled its new professional graphics accelerator aimed at designers and creative professionals. The new Quadro CX accelerates such applications as Adobe Photoshop CS4, After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4 with the help of OpenGL as well as computer unified device architecture (CUDA) Nvidia's proprietary technology.
According to Nvidia, through the help of OpenGL, its Quadro CX graphics processing unit enables real-time image rotation, zooming, and panning, and makes changes to the view instantaneous and smooth. Adobe Photoshop CS4 also taps the GPU for on-screen compositing of both 2D and 3D content, ensuring smoothly anti-aliased results regardless of zoom level. Brush resizing and brushstroke preview, 3D movement, high-dynamic-range tone mapping, and color conversion are also accelerated by the GPU.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 can take advantage of Quadro CX to accelerate high-quality video effects such as motion, opacity, color, and image distortion using CUDA parallel computing technology. Quadro CX also enables faster editing of multiple high-definition video streams and graphic overlays and provides a variety of video output choices for high-quality preview, including DisplayPort, component TV, or uncompressed 10-bit or 12-bit SDI (if an add-on card is present). The software suite utilizes RapiHD engine from Elemental Technologies to encode H.264/MPEG4 AVC video.
Adobe After Effects CS4 has added optimization features to accelerate a variety of creative effects, making it easier than ever to add graphics and visual effects to video, which allows the artist to quickly move from concept to final product and speeds up the workflow. Effects accelerated include depth of field, bilateral blur effects, turbulent noise such as flowing water or waving flags, and cartoon effects.
It is not completely clear which GPU does the Quadro CX graphics card use, but it is hardly likely that the novelty sports a GeForce GTX 200-series processor (GT200/G200/NV55) with 192 stream processing units that features rather strange render back-end/memory controller configuration and utilizes 384-bit memory bus to connect 1.5GB of onboard memory. The novelty comes with dual-link DVI, DisplayPort and stereo outputs. As all Quadro products for creative professionals, the Quadro CX supports 32x maximum FSAA mode.
Nvidia Quadro CX is already available from leading resellers, e-tailers, and retailers, for $1999.

Posted September 4, 2012
If you have a child that is playing soccer in our U5-U8 age groups, SCYSL is now offering free training on Fridays from 5-6:30pm at Curtis Field for players who think that they will want to play competitive soccer when they are U9 (or U8 spring). This training will be provided by coaches that currently coach competitive teams in Santa Clara Sporting. This training will be more intensive and instructive than a normal recreational training. The players will be expected to pay attention and concentrate on soccer. Soccer players will compete against other competitive players in practices that are more focused on competitive-level skill development against other kids in the same age group. These trainings will improve all players through friendly competition while receiving instruction from competitive soccer coaches.
The SCYSL Pre- Comp Program is designed for players looking for advanced training and an opportunity to experience a competitive environment.
Players will go through structured and dynamic drills that will test a players technical skills with the ball. They will focus on training the key skills of dribbling, passing, shooting, control, and skills as an individual and then in a small team environment. This is a great opportunity for players looking to get an experience or prepare to play on a competitive team next season or the one after.
How to Identify if Your Child Should Attend?
If your child is bored from the lack of challege in his/her Recreational soccer game, or if your coach is holding your child back from scoring too many goals, or your child desires to play in a more challenging game, then you should bring them to these training sessions.
If you aren't sure if you want your child to play competitive soccer in the future, this is a great way to get a free look at the next level of youth soccer; to experience competitive soccer and see how your child responds in a more competitive enviornment and to the next level of coaching.
Boys 9/7, 9/21, 10/5, 10/19, 11/2
Girls 9/14, 9/28, 10/12, 10/26, 11/9
Look for the coaches in the red SCYSL coaches shirts!

The Fiction That Is Cyber Monday
Or it can feel like coverage of a 100-year-old labor war, as with The Christian Science Monitor live blog of Wal-Mart (WMT) labor troubles.
I avoided the whole mess, shopping online and blogging about it for TheStreet. Maybe you avoided the crowds, too, waiting for today, Cyber Monday.
If you did, you're as much a victim as anyone who found themselves in a tent outside a Best Buy (BBY) last week.
Cyber Monday, like Black Friday, is a fiction.
As A.J. Kohn notes at Blind Five Year Old , the biggest shopping day of 2005 was Dec. 12. It has been moved up two weeks despite employers restricting employee use of the Internet, and despite the rise of broadband and tablets making access a true 24-7 proposition.
How? Marketing, of course.
The term was first coined by Shop.Org, a unit of the National Retail Federation. It started an annual list of "Cyber Monday" deals in 2006 and the concept spread. It's now used in six countries.
Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday have the same aim -- to turn a desire for spending less into a mania that leads to you actually spending more. It's American exceptionalism in action.
As with Black Friday, deals drive Cyber Monday. A 32-inch TV at Amazon.Com (AMZN) for $247.99. A 75% off sale on diamond earrings. Investopedia has some others.
But the really big deal this year, as I noted Friday, are the apps. Carry an app into the store that compares the price you're seeing to what you could have gotten in a catalog or online, like Priceblink, and it all turns into a frothy shopping meringue. Hand over your credit card -- resistance is futile.
That frothy mix is big data, which is what shopping comparison sites like privately held TheFind.com are in the business of collecting. Its biggest competitors are units of other companies. NexTag is mostly owned by Providence Equity Partners. Pricegrabber is owned by Experian (EXPN) , the Irish-based credit reporting firm. Shopping.Com is part of eBay (EBAY) .
Want to get away from all that? After eBay bought Shopping.com parent GSI Commerce last year, as TechCrunch reported, founder Michael Rubin launched a new outfit, Kynetic.com, pushing a set of infrastructure-based business models like Shoprunner, which is aggregating retailers against Amazon Prime through a membership plan.Kynetic also runs RueLaLa, a members-only fashion site, and Fanatics, a fulfillment site for licensed sports merchandise. As I was trying to say a week ago, infrastructure is the new black.
Finally, if you think of Cyber Monday as just another way to avoid taxes -- sales tax in this case -- that window is closing. The coalition fighting to impose online sales taxes, TheHill reports, includes the National Retail Federation, whose Shop.Org unit invented Cyber Monday.

Electrolux replacement HEPA filters should be replaced every 6-12 months depending on usage. Customize the filtration you want with a wide array of options from Electrolux.
Electrolux HEPA filters will filter particles out of the air at .3 microns 99.97% of the time. Changing them is easy as can be. Simply take out the existing HEPA filter cartridge out of your vacuum and replace it with the new one. Now you're protecting your home from harmful allergens and particles.
Are unwanted odors coming from your vacuum? Do you smell your pet every time you vacuum? Electrolux has you covered. Use the Anti-Odor Pet Filter to deodorize your air. The charcoal packed into this filter absorbs odors, gases and other harmful VOCs.
To cut down on filter replacement costs try the H12 or H13 washable Electrolux HEPA filters. Once every three months, wash your Electrolux vacuum filters thoroughly with tap water. Let dry for at least 24 hours, place back into your vacuum and you're ready to clean again.
