I got this foundation as a gift from one of my classmates(her way of paying me to be her model for state board) since she worked at the store.
This foundation does give great coverage and covers just about every imperfection such as redness and dark spots.
HOWEVER, for my fellow large pore people, this foundation WILL, I repeat WILL make your pores look huge! I already have large pores and this just made them look HUGE! It made my face look cakey and settled into my pores. And it also has a bit of glow to it, that just made my face look shiny and enhanced my pores' appearance.
Now, I used primer, Rimmel Fix and Perfect Pro, Benefit Pore-fessional, ELF Poreless Face Primer, AND Bare Minerals Prime Time, and even that didn't help! Now, it wasn't as bad without it, but it still didn't look good.
All in all, I won't buy this when I run out and will just stick with my Pur Minerals 4 in 1 foundation.

I actually am surprised that I really like this product. I tried it in the past with no success. I have retried it now using a new skin care line, Clinique, under it. I've been using it for 4 days now and I cannot believe how easily it covers my skin and redness that I have. I use the brush that goes with it, I forget what its called but its angled. I also use the ready touch up veil in medium under it and over it in the morning.
Before using this I used the bareMinerals original foundation for years. However, that really only is an 8 hour wear, and it took me much longer to get it to cover what I needed it too.
This has actually made getting ready in the morning much faster! And my skin looks a lot smoother and much more natural!
Also, with this and the touch up veil (no primer) I do not have to touch up during the day, which has not happened in like 10 years!
I use this in R210, medium. The color matches great! Previously I had to mix original colors light and fairly medium, so I never knew what I was going to get when applying.
Go on their website and watch the video of how to apply it, this really helped me.
This foundation with the touch up veil in ready has turned into my HG!

I'm a huge Bare Minerals fan and this foundation was no exception! I wear the shade Fair in the other BM foundations but I picked up the second lightest shade in the Ready foundation and it's a great match. I love how sheer and natural the finish is. I apply Rimmel Stay Matte primer and then apply the foundation with a Sephora mini kabuki brush. It's a great natural look for any occasion and doesn't turn my bathroom into a powdery mess like the other BM loose powder foundations can. If you have extremely oily skin and are looking for an easy, quick, everyday light foundation, I would highly suggest this one!

This was a horrible foundation for me. It Went on so patchy and it never settled into my skin. I have oily skin and it just made my pores look huge and my face looked sloppy.

I've bought this now twice because the compact really lasts and you need so little. I have dry skin with rosacea and my skin is dry most of the year. This foundation helps my dry skin. And boy does it cover. I recently had a rosacea flare and a few strokes and all of those bumps were covered.
The right color and brush are essential. You need to get color matched by a BE person. Guessing won't do. If you can't go to a BE store, call them. They are right 90% of the time. Put concealer over your worst areas first. Also get the heavenly face brush or the slanted face brush and then tap it once in the compact. Apply to half of your primed face in a sweeping motion. Then next side, forehead, center. Step back, take a look. Only then apply more where you need it. Most time 3 or 4 taps is all you will need. It is easy to overdo this foundation. Then I apply a spray to my face. I use Jane Iredale's Pom Mist.
Done. Feels weightless. Gives medium to full coverage. I wear medium beige R250 and I have warm toned light medium skin. MUFE 20, Nars Groenland, Lancome Buff 220, Chantecaille vanilla, L'Oreal nude beige, Dior 300.
I have a lot of foundations but this one does not break out my insanely sensitive rosacea skin and if I am having a rosacea flare like right now I can wear this one with confidence that it will not aggravate my skin. I own Jare Iredale loose and pressed and this looks better on my skin than the JI pressed.

I like this for travel and light coverage days when I'm on the go. The packaging is less messy than the loose, but I still prefer that over this. I'm not sure if I'll repurchase this. It isn't quite HG in my opinion but there aren't a lot of pressed powder foundation options on the market to choose from.

I really didnt like this product. Compared to other mineral pressed foundations, this was not good at all. I felt like the powder just sits on top of your skin, and even if you use only a tiny bit it is mask like. The coverage is big, but doesn't look natural or sink into the skin. There are other pressed mineral foundations (Jane Iredale pressed base, or Youngblood pressed foundation are awesome) that are way better for only a little more cost, so I can't give this a great vote and wouldn't buy again. If you do buy this, the best way I found to apply was to use a long handle flat top kabuki brush and softly dab in the powder (only a tiny bit) and apply straight strokes. As others said do not buff it on or apply too much or it will look like a mask. The one silver lining was- this pressed powder did not break me out, whereas bare minerals original loose foundation broke me out. Tip: The Jane Iredale pressed base is expensive initially for the case and product but you can buy refills on eBay for about $32 which is not much more than the bare minerals. I have done that for years and had no problem! Try Jane Iredale or Youngblood mineral pressed powders .. Those are awesome.

Bare minerals claims it is for sensitive skin, however, I got a horrible allergy reaction to this powder! I had bumpy red spots all over my face and neck. As soon as I stopped using it my face slowly healed back to normal. For reference, I have dry, sensitive, acne proned skin. I would recommend staying away from this powder if you have the same skin distinction as I do.

This wouldn't be my first choice for a pressed powder foundation.
It has a bad tendency to still be very messy and powdery during application with a brush or a sponge. I've used this on clients with various skin types and it tends to be an OK option for those with dry skin although I tend to like powders better for those with oily skin as it tends to absorb oil and shin and this is no exception.
The shade range is pretty impressive I will say and the inclusion of SPF is a nice touch.
It does blend out well, doesn't get streaky and doesn't feel heavy on skin. I just don't like that it's still a little messy to apply out of the compact and that to avoid the same effect on skin, a primer or fairly heavily moisturized skin is a must.

I first started off absolutely loving this foundation and the whole Ready range (bronzer, veil and blush) as I loved the coverage it gave me (like seriously good coverage). I don't think this would suit dryer skin types as it is a powder foundation it's not too fab on my dry patches (I have combination skin). I started to hate it after a few months (mostly because I missed using a liquid foundation!) but also I did notice it started to go shiny throughout the day - not just in my oily zones but in my dry areas too). It didn't stay on the whole day, but I've heard it does for some people so maybe that's just my skin type. I think the absolute worst thing about it is the packaging! I like my makeup to stay clean but it has Matte packaging which is a nightmare to clean! Also all the products looks exactly the same on the outside so that's a bit of an annoyance. If you're looking for coverage and you don't have super dry skin I would say this is perfect

Ladies' man George Clooney isn't short on romance pointers – even if they're for a younger, female costar.
"He had rules for me about dating and stuff. It was really sweet," Anna Kendrick said at Saturday's press day for their new comedy/drama Up in the Air, out Dec. 4. "It's funny, actually. A friend of his that was his age [48] was dating somebody younger than me. He thought that was fine. I was like, 'What would you say to me if I were dating somebody your age?' He said, 'Oh no, absolutely not.' "
The 24-year-old admits, "He had this kind of older brother thing with me." And, her character, who has argumentative romantic tension with Clooney in the film, jokes, "Is he too old for me? Yes. George Clooney is too old for me."

Historical Traveler Reviews Washington Marriott Georgetown Washington DC
Above average
The room was very clean and updated. The breakfast buffet is one of the best I've ever eaten. The bellmen are excellent.
A very average hotel in a city of above-average hotels
The price and location enticed us into booking this hotel for 3 days. The room was so small there was not even room for our suitcases! The bed was just OK. We had to ask for additional pillows, they were as tiny as the room and just as flat. The front desk clerk provided us with mis-information regarding a monument tour. Dupont Circle was advertised as being close by, where it actually it was quite the walk. There are so many great hotels in DC and there are good deals out there too. So if you find a a different hotel costing a few bucks higher than this one, take it, you'll be glad you did. It would be worth it.
Do not arrive at 2 a.m.
I stayed at the Washington Marriott June 25-27. I advised them I was going to get late, the flight was scheduled to arrive at 12.30 a.m. Flight delays made me arrive at 2.20 a.m. The receptionist told me that I had to wait since the computer was running the daily program and the room was not assigned. Finally at 2.40 a.m. I got the key and went up to the room. To my surprise there was a woman inside the room. To make the story short I went to sleep about 3 a.m.
The front desk people were not into the culture of service, they were just doing their job.
Besides that, the hotel is O.K. with an excellent location a couple of blocks from Georgetown.
Comfortable experience
We stayed at the Marriott from 7/2-7/4 since I was able to get a $60/night from Priceline. It was worth the $60, however, I wouldn't pay the normal asking rates for the room we had. I think there are bigger room, but since we got it through priceline, we got a smaller room. It was a comfortable and clean room but very small. If you'll be doing the sites in D.C. and not spending too much time in the hotel - it's perfect. The bed was very comfortable (even though we asked for a king, they couldn't accomadate and gave us a queen). The bathroom was small but had nice marble countertops. Had all the amenities you could want for a weekend. Great location - only 3 blocks to the Foggy Bottom/GWU Metro Station - very easy to get to. Even walking up to Dupont Circle wasn't bad -have your sneakers on!
Enjoyed my stay at the Washington Marriott
I stayed at the Washington Marriott for two nights in June, and I couldn't have been more satisfied with my experience. My room was lovely, and it had a great view from the 9th floor. Everything in the hotel, including my room, was spotless.
I highly recommend the Atrium restaurant. They had a fantastic lunch and breakfast buffet in the $15 range.
However, I think the best part of the experience was the wonderful shower in my room. The oversized tub and marble walls made for a very relaxing shower.
The hotel is within an easy walk to the Foggy Bottom Metro where you can catch the train or a shuttle into Georgetown.
Other reviewers have mentioned the proximity of the hotel to a fire station, and this is true. However, I was never bothered by the sirens once I was asleep.
My Worst Hotel Stay in Recent Memory
I'm a very experienced traveler. Please don't take lightly the title of this review. I was in DC for a conference and arrived in late morning on a Wednesday. I was told my room was not ready and to return after noon. I went to a nearby restaurant and had lunch and returned about 12:30 and it still wasn't ready. I was then told to return at 2 and my room would definitely be ready. I decided to go and visit some historical attractions for a couple of hours and returned at about 2:15. By this time I was exhausted and in need of a shower. I was told that not only was my room not ready, but that I was far down a list of people waiting for a room. I made the reservation at least a month in advance. Needless to say, I was not at all happy. The girl standing next to the one helping me was obviously more experienced and noticed my displeasure. She quickly intervened and found me a room. I arrived at my room only to find that the view I had was of a dirty rooftop and air conditioning units.
After my shower I felt something sticky on my foot. It was chewing gum stuck to the carpet that had not been cleaned up. I was getting very upset. I didn't complain about that because I knew I'd just get back and write this instead. However, there was one thing that I did say something about. The night before I left I went to bed early in anticipation of an early flight. There were high schoolers making noise in the hallway at midnight so I called and they promised to send security. They had little effect. Then I noticed my floor and walls shaking from music. At 1 AM I called and was informed that there was a party on the floor below mine that was to break up shortly and I was asked to be patient. It didn't end until well after 2 AM.
The next time I have to go to the Washington Marriott for a conference, I'll pay double to stay at the Ritz across the street. You usually get what you pay for. I got a cut rate room at cut rate quality with cut rate service.
OK For the Weekend
Stayed here in March for a weekend, based on a Priceline rate of about 65 dollars a night. Couldn't complain with that rate. Large room, typically well-equipped. The hotel is near a fire station, but that didn't bother me. Seemed to have lots of tour groups, including school groups, which could mean more noise. Most significant thing about my stay was that the hotel missed delivering me a message. When the mistake was brought to their attention later that evening, the front office manager came up and apologized in person, and then sent me a wine and cheese platter. A nice touch to ensure that my lasting impression was a positive one. The location is OK, a long walk to Georgetown and Dupont Circle, but lots of restaurants in the M and K Street areas nearby, many of which have half-off Sunday and Monday specials.
Excellent Staff, Location, Room
We stayed 10/28 - 11/1 2004. The staff was exceptional. Service with a smile and willing to go the extra mile. Thomas brought our bags to the room and then went and filled our ice bucket without hesitation. The front office staff got us a rollaway at our request and it was there right as we arrived at our room (no charge). The room price was an excellent value for the location (got it right through Marriott web site and that was after checking all the deals through this site). The hotel room (12th flr) was very quite all night long. The hotel just completed upgrading all their rooms and ours was well appointed. When asked where to go eat, Dorie picked up the phone and made us reservations at a wonderful restaurant (seafood) that we could walk to. They also provided us maps, and walking directions (typed) to family friendly food locations, again within walking distance. The metro stop is 200 feet from the front entrance and that can take you to major sites / airport. 3 blocks to White House / Treasury / Ford's Theater. The hotel also provides 24/7 security staff (not that we felt that we needed it) inside the lobby and by the elevators and will check for hotel ID for anyone entering the room elevator area. Fitness facility was well appointed and never crowded. Lap pool and a hot hot tub.
When we go back - we will stay there again for sure.
Good location, good restaurant
Just checked out today from the Washington Marriott. We stayed Wednesday - Sunday and had a great rate as part of a conference. The location is great. Walking distance of Georgetown (6 or 8 blocks) and the White House (about a mile). The room was nice enough and they were very friendly when they accommodated our request to check in an hour early. (3:00 instead of 4:00) They do have Marriott's $9.99/day service that includes unlimited long distance, local calls, and high-speed internet. We had a wonderful meal at the restaurant - Blackie's - highly recommend it. Although we didn't take advantage of the fitness center and pool, we did use the business center, which had a nice array of services and was reasonably priced. We only had two negative experiences - 1) a front desk attendant who responded very rudely when we asked her to remove a restaurant charge that wasn't ours and 2) we had a lot of trouble finding someone to assist us with shipping a package on a Sunday. One rude employee marred an otherwise good experience.
Love this Place!
I have stayed in on numerous occasions--favorite hotel in DC. Central to everything, plus the restaurant is great. I had always tried to avoid hotels restaurants, particularly for dinner, but this one is worth traveling in for. I was able to get this on a great Priceline deal and since have found some great internet savings on this hotel.

2015 Legislative Recap
The regular 2015 legislative session has come to an end and it is almost certain that Governor Dayton will convene a special session. While we are pleased to have achieved some of our policy goals, we are disappointed that this year truly turned out to be a session of missed opportunities to protect our environment and safeguard public health.
Despite the disappointment, the legislature acted favorably on the Firefighter and Children's Health Protection Act, a bill that requires a study on the effects of six flame retardants by January, 2016 and bans four of the most toxic flame retardants from being used in upholstered furniture and children's products. The legislature also approved $1 million in funding for Forever Green, an initiative to accelerate development of cover crops and perennial crops that protect water quality and enhance wildlife habitat. We also helped pass favorable language for the Buffer Initiative, a policy that will protect our water resources by requiring a 50 foot buffer for public waters by November 2017 and a 16.5 foot buffer for public ditches by November, 2018.

Great Lakes Lobby Day in DC
In early March, the Great Lakes came to the Nation's Capital. The Annual Great Lakes Day is a gathering of Great Lakes advocates from across the region, who bring their love and passion for the Great Lakes to Members of Congress. Clean Water Action helped recruit and organize the Minnesota delegation of nearly a dozen community members, local government officials, and business owners.
Recent action by the U.S. House could significantly hinder Great Lakes protection and restoration efforts. A House panel has voted to slash funding for the popular and effective Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (80% cuts), for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to upgrade aging water infrastructure (83% cuts), and for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (60%+ cuts).
Minnesota U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum led efforts to block these cuts but was unable to stop them. If the cuts take effect, communities would face immediate harm, and cleanup costs would increase as necessary clean water investments are delayed.

The White House is moving forward with the White House Easter Egg Roll, despite closing its doors to all public tours because of the sequester spending cuts.
The White House Easter Egg Roll, a day full of games and food on the South Lawn for children and families, is a 135-year tradition. It will take place this year on April 1 and 35,000 people are expected to attend.
The event is undoubtedly a major expense for the Secret Service, which must plan for such a big crowd at the White House and protect them throughout the day.
SEE ALSO: More sequester pain: White House cancels tours
White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama have "made extraordinary efforts to make [the White House] the people's house,"during their time here "and it is extremely unfortunate that we have a situation like the sequester that compels the kinds of trade-offs and decisions this represents."
Mr. Carney said that the Secret Service, "like other agencies of government, is affected by the sequester, and the Secret Service presented options that ranged from canceling tours to potential furloughs and cuts in overtime."
"In order to allow the Secret Service to best fulfill its core mission, the White House made the decision that we would unfortunately have to temporarily suspend these tours."
So why is the Easter Egg roll still a go?
"The White House must make choices," Mr. Carney said, referring more specific questions to the Secret Service.

As we continue to talk about privacy issues and government surveillance we turn to a related story out of Washington. The technology news website CNET News.com is reporting that Republican Congressman James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin is preparing legislation that rewrite Internet privacy rules. Under the proposed legislation, Internet service providers would be required to keep logs tracking what users did online in order to help police to be able to 'conduct criminal investigations.' Executives at Internet companies that fail to comply would be fined and imprisoned for up to one year.
Technology experts say this marks a dramatic shift in the Bush administration's view on Internet privacy. To talk about this we are joined by the reporter who broke this story, Declan McCullagh. He is the chief political correspondent for CNET News.com.

DECLAN McCULLAGH: Sure. What we're talking about here is proposed legislation that has not been introduced that would do two things. It would require internet service providers to basically keep records of what their users do, and it would also, in some ways, restrict access to child porn sites by criminalizing making available discussion forums or what not, where links to those sites could appear.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And the purpose of this is to just be able to have a background for law enforcement to go after criminal investigations, even though there's no clear crimes that are being sought after right now?
DECLAN McCULLAGH: The purpose of it depends on who you talk to. It seems likely that it grows out of — and some folks on Capitol Hill I've talked to have said just this, though not on the record — that it grows out of House Republicans' basically attempts to get re-elected in the fall, in the November elections. That is, this is something that can be seen as protecting children. This is something that can play well in suburbia, and this is something that also polls well. So, the thing, though, is that, even though this is said as going after child pornography, if you require internet service providers to record information about what their users are doing, their customers are doing, this can be used in any kind of investigations, a tax investigation, drug investigations, any type of investigation. The data would just be sitting there available for a subpoena or perhaps even a court order in a divorce case.
AMY GOODMAN: We're talking to Declan McCullagh, chief political correspondent for CNET News.com. Could you explain exactly how this would work and how much information they would be getting from people, especially if people are really not conversant with the internet and the lingo and what ISPs mean?
DECLAN McCULLAGH: Sure. Well, first, let me preface that with: Sensenbrenner may not introduce the legislation. I've heard from a staff that he's basically backing away from this as a result of criticism, especially from the industry. But if it goes forward — and this is something that the Attorney General has called for and other Bush administration officials have endorsed — that what it would do is rewrite the rules governing internet privacy. Right now, your internet service provider does maintain sort of a minimum amount of logs about what you do. That is, it tracks what internet address you've been assigned, and maybe it tracks a little bit about what email you send. So, this is useful for billing disputes, fraud, spam-related reasons, but these logs are typically minimal and deleted during the course of routine business practice. But this is expensive to keep these things.
So, what Sensenbrenner's draft legislation, if it's introduced and becomes law, would do is it would rewrite those laws by saying internet service providers shall be subject to this mandatory data retention regime that could say — and this is the problem: the details are left to the Attorney General. But it's a broad grant of power to the Attorney General, and it would give him the power to say things, like "All logs of web browsing, what URLs or web pages were visited, will be retained, who you sent email to, what the subject line was, maybe what the contents were, how long you stayed online, who you talked to, what you did, instant messaging conversations. Basically anything you did on the internet could be saved and in logs that would be available to law enforcement for the next few years. This is actually not that dissimilar from what the Europeans have done.
AMY GOODMAN: Declan McCullagh, we want to thank you very much for being with us, chief political correspondent for CNET News.com.

American Airlines Says $10.2 Million Is Owed on 19 Planes
AMR Corp., the owner of American Airlines that filed for bankruptcy last year, said it plans to keep 19 planes on which $10.2 million is owed for rent or debt payments under aircraft agreements.
AMR listed the planes and the amounts owed in a filing yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. The filing listed another 28 planes on which the company said it didn't owe any money. AMR has more than 900 planes in its fleet.
Once the world's largest airline, AMR, based in Fort Worth, Texas, filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 29, listing debt of almost $30 billion. The airline last month won court permission to pursue a deal to buy 32 planes from Boeing Co. through 2012, and to reject leases on some aircraft as it reorganizes with a more competitive fleet.
The company "believes that the market values of, and market leases for, many of the aircraft have changed substantially since the aircraft were originally leased or financed," AMR said in a Dec. 8 filing.
In yesterday's filing, the company listed the amounts that it believes must be paid to cure any defaults in the payment of basic rent or debt service under the aircraft agreements.
For each of the 19 planes listed as requiring cure payments, the amount was about $500,000.
The airline warned creditors if objections to the amounts owed aren't received by deadlines set in the bankruptcy code, they would be barred from making claims in relation to those amounts.
AMR is now the third-largest U.S. airline company.
The case is In re AMR Corp., 11-15463, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Great Rug But Won't Lay Flat
I love the look and feel and light weight of this rug but unfortunately it just won't lay completely flat. No matter what we do or how many times we address them the rug always ripples in different places. It winds up looking messy and cheap. And while I do understand it is a relatively inexpensive rug I don't understand why it can't lay flat (I have two of these in the exact same model and they both ripple). I've had cheap natural fiber rugs before and while some of them looked, felt and smelled worse at least they all laid flat on the floor. Other than the ripples it's great and I love the look and feel of it.Read More
Great rug
Price was right, and it turned out beautiful. It is true to color as photographed, so yes, it is on the lighter shade of tan. Looks great though!Read More
Gives the room a neat and clean finish!
Am enjoying this rug, but it is not soft if that is what you are looking for. I have it under a kitchen table and I like the feel rather than the tile floor. When toddlers spill the food sits right on top of the rug and doesn't go in between the fibers. Another prize winner!Read More
Great Rug
I love it and the color just like the picture. The price is unbelievable!!! Glad that I bought them.Read More
Great rug at a great price
I am very pleased with this rug. The border color is a charcoal grey as expected, and after reading previous reviews I knew that the weave would be coarse, not soft. That said, the rug is perfect under our round stone game table. It provides some texture and color to my wood floors, but would not be suitable to sit on in a family room setting. Once I received the rug I searched the brand and style number and could not find the rug at a lower price. I feel the rug is a good value and exactly the look I had in mind.Read More
Love this rug! It is exactly as described and color is exactly as pictured, so is exactly what I was expecting and looking for. I am using it in the sitting area of my master bedroom and it is beautiful. It is a little rough on bare feet - this is not a soft, luxurious rug! So if you are looking for that, this is not for you. I on the other hand wanted something wtih a natural look, natural fibers and textures, and this fit the bill perfectly. Excellent price compared to similar rugs of this size and quality.Read More
It wasn't as rough as I expected, though I'm not sure I would use it for a living room or an area where I sit on the floor often. For my dining room, it's perfect. The sisal has less of a golden/brown tone than you usually see and the grey border brings out the grey in the woven sisal. It did have an odor for the first two days, but that has now dissipated. I have noticed some fibers shedding onto the grey lining, but nothing extreme. Also, my dog LOVES this rug. She rolls around to scratch her back on it.Read More
already purchased more
This rug is exactly as described and looks better in person. keep in mind though that the sisal on this rug is soft because it is "fine" which means a lot of traffic or dogs for example will cause small tears in the fibers. this rug is in a beach house that has the wear and tear of dogs & toddlers. After 2 months it still looks beautiful. For the higher traffic areas of the house we purchased a seagrass rug from overstock and it is beautiful as well. That one has a basket weave which is much more durable over the years.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello shopster, this is approximately 8 feet x 10 feet. Thanks for shopping with us!
Why did you choose this product?
color and terxture
It has five-star feedback.
Clean, crisp and nuetral
the price and the quality reviews were positive
I bought this because my girlfriend bought the exact same style for an adjoining room based on positive reviews and we wanted the rug to match the rug.
where is this rug made?
Hello anhmaidang, unfortunately, this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us. Tina
How is the maintenance/cleaning on this rug compared to the other natural fibers rugs that you have (seagrass vs jute vs sisal?) I plan on using this in my family room. Which natural fiber is the softest on bare feet and the easiest to clean spots/spills?
Hello spandaub, we appreciate your inquiry. None of the natural fiber rugs would be recommended to be cleaned in the washing machine. To clean this item, it is recommended to turn the beater bar off on the vacuum or use the handheld attachment. To remove stains, it is recommended to spot clean or use a professional rug cleaner. Seagrass and Sisal would be softer than Jute, and the cleaning instructions would be the same for all three. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!
Does the rug (sisal portion) have a grayish finish? Some reviewers for other sizes said that it was more greenish gray? I'm interested in more of a cool gray.
Hello migyong, we appreciate your inquiry. This item is more of a beige with a greyish hue to it (as indicated by reviews), which compliments the border. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!
how wide is the binding? How much shows - 1.5", 2" 3"??
Edged in 1-1/2" cotton twill binding
Approximately two inches is showing.

Whimsical, fun, and fabulous for all ages! Incredible costumes, classic story, talented cast. The best NCT production we've seen yet.

Fun for the whole family. My 4 year old daughter loved it. We've been reading her the BFG and it was magical for her to watch the story come to life. Just the right length and the right mix of scary and funny.

The NW Children's Theater production of The BFG was delightful! I took my son and family. My two grandsons (ages 3 and 5) were enthralled from beginning to end. It's not easy to keep an active 3-year old engaged for 90 minutes, so that's high...

2010 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I bought this with 14000 mi and have put on nearly 6k of mixed driving.
Having owned everything from economy cars to muscle cars I was not sure how I would feel about what many look at as an old mans car.
Being a modestly priced car I was pleasantly surprised at the fit and finish. The interior although well designed,
uses what seems to be low quality materials.
Silver painted plastic is the choice over brushed aluminum.
I quickly corrected this with a wood grain overlay kit.
Safety is a big plus with the Camry and shows with it's safety rating. Front and side air bags, knee bag along and standard traction control and abs add to the security.
This car exceeds my expectations.
The ride is impressive.
It rides as smoothly as many cars twice the price.
Engine and trans are silky smooth. Power is fine for daily highway or city driving. The trans keeps the engine in the right torque range and the smooth shifts of the 6 speed automatic are not annoying.
Very good gas mileage. 25 city and a little over 33 on the freeway.
Controls and dash are easy to use and read.
Seat backs and headrests are among the best I have ever seen.
The seat bottoms are a little small but the power seat allows most to find a comfortable position.
The trunk is fairly large with a low lift over height.
Rear room is better than average.
Head and leg room are OK for adults.
Not too many negative features but I would like to see the seat bottoms a little larger.
Also add and extension to the sun visor to cover the side window when you are diving with the sun low in the sky.
A higher grade of plastic and fabric on the interior.
Only time will tell how well it will hold up.
Overall this is a well made car that is comfortable, safe, economical, with better road manners than most give it credit for.
They are made in Kentucky and have more American made parts than any car. So in this era of world wide trade,
this car does add to the US economy.
2010 Toyota Camry SE 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
After purchasing the car with 39000 miles two weeks later my wire harness in the transmission went out. Took it to the dealer and they didnt cover it under the power train warranty even though they had to pull my whole tranny. That was a 900 dollar repair. After getting it back my transmission feels sluggish, it accerates and deccerates at the wrong times, Overall the Tranny sucks on this vehicle everything else is nice about the car. But i hate that its such a beautiful car except for the tranny and I wonder how much longer its going to last me :(
Sad to say for a 2010 toyota camry.
2010 Toyota Camry 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6M)
No complaints after 2+ years (20k miles), no trips back to the dealer for ANYTHING.
Only the accelerator recall, which will never cause a problem unless you put one mat on top of another and/or you don't use the clips to secure the mat.
If you read the owner's manual and use common sense, you have nothing to worry about.
But the recall changes the accelerator pedal so it is "idiot" proof.
There is ZERO evidence of
unintended acceleration or problems with the electronics, according to NASA.
Good job to all the folks in Kentucky that built this car, and I am happy to see that 85% of the parts are also from North America!
As a bonus, I also own Toyota stock, so I share in the profits
6 speed manual transmission!
Reliable, comfortable ride, large interior and trunk.
Very little maintenance required (10,000 mile or 1 year oil changes).
Very easy to do your own maintenance oil & filter changes, air filter changes, that's about it for the first 100,000 miles.
Great miles per gallon, I can get 31 mpg on the highway at 72 mph with the AC on.
I could get the EPA rating of 33 mpg if I was going a little slower, which is how the EPA tests all cars.
Very quiet interior.
Good acceleration for an inexpensive mid-size sedan.
The forward cupholder is too close to the shift lever (manual transmission).
Make the stick shift about 2 inches shorter.
Needs more cupholders and needs a coin slot.
Interior could be nicer with less plastic.
I see the 2012 Camry has a much nicer interior.
Some complain that the 6th gear only drops the rpms about 300.
That is true, but unfortunately, all the other sedans with a manual transmission do the same thing - only a very small RPM drop with 6th gear vs. 5th.
We bought our 2010 Camry at the height of all the Toyota recall hype because we were confident it was nonsense - and it was.
We could not be happier with our purchase.
We got a great deal, the dealer was a delight, and the car is great.
We take a LOT of long car trips and this car is comfortable, gets decent gas mileage (30 mpg), holds a lot of luggage and, most importantly, is reliable!
Our previous car was a Volkswagon Passat wagon, and it was in the shop all the time, so reliability was key.
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
Leather seats, faux wood-grain trim, quiet ride, reliability.
The Camry has done it's job for me and the Mrs.. We're still not tired of it, as we were with our Impala's at this point in ownership. Build quality has been excellent, no rattles, no problems, one recall (floor mat). A great experience. I do have one complaint that I can forgive, and hope it's fixed in 2012 model, the transmission. Very awkward city and country road driving, constantly "hunts" for gear, refuses to "coast", downshifts or upshifts at precisely the wrong time. If you ease into the gas it shifts within a few feet and drops you into a sluggish 2nd gear in an attempt to save fuel I guess. But alas, the "tricks" it's doing doesn't help that much in mpg's. We'll live with it.
Still stylish, I get jealous when I see same color (Magnetic Gray) and model (SE) around town. Great minds think alike. Handles like a dream, very nice cornering ability. It's no Lamborghini but I have had had worse, like the body rolling Impala. Interior fit and finish has been average, I find it somewhat boring.
For 2012, my hopes: An improved (fit & finish) and stylish interior, too many years of the same old. Seat bottoms could use a few another inch or so. I find my mid thighs unsupported, but I am 6'. A MUCH better shifting transmission or at least a sport option to lose the quick upshifts to taller gears and let the car "coast" in any option. Wife complains that I am doing something with the gas because it gets that jerky on hilly country roads. Heated side view mirrors on SE trim level standard. Carpet could be a little thicker nap, but that goes with interior fit & finish and now I'm just being picky ... it is carpet, and I don't have to sleep on it.

Some great tips for energy in the morning! :)
From the page:
"Energy is a source within us that we can increase or decrease not only using the mind, but based on how we utilize our food and drink. Here are a few things you could do every morning to give you boundless energy.
1. Drink a pint glass of water first thing in the morning. If you don窶t like water on its own, squeeze some fresh lime into it.
2. Have a good breakfast. A good bowl of muesli won窶t do you harm and neither will some porridge. Both are much better than a fry up.
3. Start off with at least 10 minutes of exercise. Stretch all your body窶s larger muscles. Consider doing a brisk walk around the block each morning too.
4. Take in the sun light. I wake up when I see sun. Its energy, invigorating and excitement is absolutely amazing. Get up and spend a minute outside looking up in the sky taking in the morning light. Wrap up warm if it窶s cold, but make sure you do it.
5. Fresh juice. I make myself a great carrot, apple and ginger juice daily. There is power in eating or drinking fruit before a meal and drinking a large glass of fresh juice is the best way to get started each day."
A Great Site for anyone interested in writing their very own screenplay in the proper screenplay format. I think this site is great!
Very Awesome! It's very neat site that basically states that anyone can draw!
This is a very cool image! :)
love it it's amazing how much colors the pictures have. it almost looked like a cartoon at first.

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
"Birds of Wisconsin," B.J. Best
National Poetry Month coincides in Wisconsin with a mythical season called "Spring," which some years is glimpsed here about as often as an ivory-billed woodpecker.
There's no Lord God Bird, to use the ivory-billed wonder's street name, in poet B.J. Best's collection "Birds of Wisconsin" (New Rivers Press). But Best has plenty of observations to make about our avian neighbors and, by extension, ourselves.
He drew his collection's title from wildlife artist Owen Gromme's famous book, "Birds of Wisconsin" (1963), and makes Gromme a figure in his book, with short poems that he imagines Gromme speaking. I don't think anyone has ever brought together the worlds of poetry, ornithology and finance the way Best has in "owen gromme is commissioned by marshall and isley bank" (yes, Best lower-cases the title).
Best also draws his epigraph from Gromme, and if you paint, draw or write, you may nod in assent as you read this: "I have never painted a bird yet that satisfied me."
In his book's middle section, Best imagines "The Prayers of Birds." The scarlet tanager echoes St. Augustine: "O Lord, help me be pure, but not yet." I like how "The Prayer of the Hummingbird" seems to replicate the tiny flyer's furious wingbeat: "And if and if and if and if and if and if and if..."
Best's book won New Rivers Press' Many Voices Competition, leading to its 2010 publication. When not writing or birdwatching, he teaches English at Carroll University in Waukesha.
Since I brought up the Lord God Bird earlier, I'd be a poor sport if I didn't point you to Sufjan Stevens' fantastic song about the ivory-billed woodpecker. which can be downloaded from NPR.
