Comfy Couch Pet Bed is rated out of 5 by 2369.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SunnyinSC from I miss my dog! Ever since giving my Labrador the Comfy Pet Couch as an early Christmas gift, he no longer sleeps on the floor under my desk after breakfast. I now find him happily lounging in his new bed. I suspect I am going to buy another for my home office!

Rated 5 out of 5 by loveanimals from Great dog bed I purchased two beds for different rooms in the house. This is an exceptionally well made bed. The fabric is upholstery quality and should last a long time. The personalized pillow is a nice bonus! My cats and dog love it. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Comfy Couch Indeed! I can't speak for my Golden Doodle, Ruby, but I will do my best! The couch showed up earlier than expected...it was a lovely. The personalized pillow also was a very nice touch, though I don't know that Ruby appreciated her little brother (Zac) thinking it was a dog toy. The quality of the bed is excellent and very comfy and we are very pleased.

Ihave owned Labrador Retrievers my entire life and this comfy dog bed/couch wins my vote for the best dog bed ever purchased!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Got another dog needed a second bed! We bought this bed for our Brittany to get her off our bed. It worked great until we took in a foster Brit. He crawled into her bed the very first night he came and would not let her use it. So we promptly ordered a second one. It arrived in a few days. She is happy, he is happy and we have our bed back... We are VERY happy!!! I would highly recommend this bed, go for one bigger than you think you need so your dog can really stretch out, our guys do!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best Pet Bed Ever From the moment the bed came out of the box, our dog has been on it, in every way possible. She loves to rest her head on the ledge of the couch. The product is high quality and looks as though it will last for years. My husband and I sit on our couches and look at each other with a knowing glance, we both are well aware that Kama's bed is much more comfortable. We are quite envious and have to admit, if they made it in our size, we would order one for us as well :o)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Comfy dog I've been planning on buying my senior golden retriever a new, more supportive bed to ease his weary bones. When I saw the Comfy Pet Couch and read about the quality details, I decided it was time. As soon as I got it out of the package the dog absolutely loved it and seems so much more happy and cozy. The back and side supports mean he doesn't roll off his bed anymore, and he seems fully supported underneath as well. I like that the cover is removable and washable. We like it so well, I bought two more for my son's two dogs. They all have their own attractive, comfortable beds now with their own personalized dogbone pillows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AGopal from Excellent bed I have been looking for a bed for my sheltie for a long time. I have tried many. Then I came across this bed on front gate. I love the bed and so does my sheltie. it is so comfortable and soft and study at the same time. Well done!

Would this bed be good for a cat?
I don't see why not. I'm not sure how small they come, but I bet the cat wouldn't care either way.

is it possible to get a new cover for this bed
I purchased this bed over a year ago and the zipper is broken. I was wondering if it would be possible to only purchase the cover
These beds are made by Bowsers Pet Beds and if Frontgate cannot help you, then contact Bowsers directly, as they do sell the covers separately and in a lot of different colors not currently offered by Frontgate.

What are the machine washing instructions for the comfy couch bed?
Remove all cushions (every area has zippers to remove foam filling) machine wash and dry on cool settings

What size should I get for a 17 lb. dog?
It says that the small goes up to 15 lbs. My dog is 17 lbs. What size should I get? The medium seems way too big? Please help.
Small should work for a 17 lb dog. I have the medium and my dog weighs 30 lbs.

Green color??
The sage color bed in the pictures is a pale green - I would call this sage. But the Sage swatch below is much darker. Are these the same or is the swatch mislabeled? I don't want to order the Sage if it is the dark color. I want the color in the picture with all the puppies. Thanks!
Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. The pet bed is a more pale green than the small swatch. We have requested that our web team update the color swatch to better match the main image.

I have a Golden Retriever puppy who loves to chew. Would this bed hold up to chewing?
I would say no. I have this for my Maltese and just love it! I also have a Golden and would recommend a canvas material for her. It worked for me :) Carolyn

Is this bed good for medium-sized senior dogs?
Our Australian Labradoodle is a mid size and weighs 43 pounds. We purchased the large for her and she loves it. Plenty of room for her to move around.

Where can I buy a replacement cushion?
My puppy ate her cushion! The rest of the bed is still in great shape. I guess she just wanted to eat the fluffy cushion. Can I buy a replacement cushion, or do I have to buy the whole bed again?
I was told by customer service today (1/27/16) that you can order a replacement cushion by calling and asking for a produce specialist, but ONLY if your bed is less than a year old. I suggest you call and ask to talk to a product specialist and don't let them tell you that they'll call you back-- they don't. I kept calling and emailing them for 6 months only to finally get someone who told me that they wouldn't sell me a replacement cushion because my order was over a year old (it was 1 year and 2 months old-- and only that old because they wouldn't call me back). Good luck!

Is it possible to monogram the actual bed? or just the pillow?
No, just the pillow.
Date published: 2013-10-21
Replacement cushions
Are you going to offer an option for customer's to buy replacement cushions for the bed anytime soon? I love this bed and don't want to buy an entire new one if I only need the cushion. It's out of the warranty period, but I think letting customer's buy the cushion separate would be great!
We check prices regularly and have always found the best prices here .

Is the small size too small for a Morkie?
I have a 12 lb Morkie and 11 inches seems like it might be too small. Would this be a problem?
I don't think so.

Hello, I am just wondering if the grey colour displayed in the picture is a true likeness of the real bed colour ?
It depends on your monitor, of course, but the gray matched the color on the screen.
Date published: 2016-12-31
What color does the free bone pillow come in and what trim does it have around it?
You can choose any color of pillow, depending on the color the trim is different. As you order the bed, you will be asked to choose the color.
Date published: 2016-07-02
Can I buy an additional Comfy Couch cover in another color to have as an extra?
On another order, yes.

How do you wash the pillow? I need washing directions for the pillow cover and cushion.
If you look up the product online and click on Overview, there are washing instructions.
Date published: 2014-11-22
Buy a cover?
Is there any way I can buy a new cover for my current Frontgate bolster,pet bed?
Short answer: No. Frontgate does not sell just a replacement cover. They'll temporarily relieve you by directing you to the 'cover for the couch cushion' that is available directly as an accessory, only to realize shortly thereafter that it's just a cover for the bed's removable cushion. I had your same inquiry because the zipper broke on my dog bed's cover, and since the whole bed and innards were still fine, I requested just a replacement cover. Frontgate clarified that the mfr only sells the dog bed as one entire unit, you can not purchase individual replacement parts. If you are under warranty, Frontgate will possibly get you an entirely new bed. If not, they may give you a discount on an entirely new bed. Either way, they have no support for replacement parts for the bed you already own.

I have two German Shepherds. About 80lbs each. Can they share the XL bed?
I have 2 boxers. They sometimes will get in it together however, they are on top of each other when they do. We are ordering a 2nd bed for them. The quality is great so I don't mind purchasing a second for them.
Date published: 2014-01-18
Does this bed arrive completely assembled?
Basically yes - just put the cushion on top. It is already in the cover, etc.
Date published: 2016-05-07
Fabric treatment
My dog loves this bed. Now we want one for our nursery, but have gone to great lengths to make it a non-toxic environment for our infant. Is the microvelvet or orthopedic foam cushion treated with any flame retardants?
Thank you for your patience while we contacted the vendor to obtain an answer to your question regarding this item. We were able to confirm that these beds have not been treated with any type of flame retardants.
Date published: 2013-10-21
How do you wash this bed? Can you throw the entire bottom cushion into the washing machine?
I can see that you can unzip most of the cover, but what about the bottom cushion? Can you throw the whole thing into the washing machine?
I can unzip the bottom of my dog bed.
Date published: 2017-01-28
Is the cover waterproof?
My puppy urinated on the cushion. I'm thinking of ordering the cover. Is it waterproof?
No def not waterproof but can come off and be washed
Date published: 2017-01-09
Is the platinum color like a silver or blue? And the same with the slate color, is it dark grey?
I have the platinum. It is more like silver or light grey.
Date published: 2017-01-12
Instructions on reassembly after washing
I took the bed apart to wash - how do I put the tubes back in and in what order?
larger tube goes on the bottom, shorter one on top. I found out that it is easier to put the larger one in first then the smaller one.
Date published: 2014-12-20
Is the RUBY color more burgundy/wine or red?
It's a deep red ... not as dark as burgundy, but close.

Pillow is a waste, my dogs never use them, my golden retriever carries it around once in a while, but doesn't use it to sleep, that's for sure.

Will the Sage bed be available again?
I'm looking to buy the Sage bed in Large, because that color would match my current human sofas perfectly. Do you have a date of when it'll be available?

You want to change ALL the CKM_ values to have a UL suffix, right?
You missed one. Please change it, too.

I checked this patch in on the trunk (with the change) :

We could also use no suffix, as is done in pkcs11t.h for
the standard CKM_xxx macros:

Once you refrigerate it, all the yeast will drop to the bottom. It makes it easy to move the cider to a new container. Most of the bubbling will have stopped. My recipe is semi-sweet even after sitting in the fridge for a year. If you let them ferment longer than 3 weeks, then it will get dryer as the yeast eat the sugar. Taste it in 3 weeks or earlier, if it tastes good, you're done. If the sweetness is good but it tastes a little bitter or has an off flavor, that's when you need to let it age in the fridge. Fill up a 2 liter bottle and stick it in the back of the fridge and forget about it.View Instructable »
Yes, when it's done, keep it refrigerated. I refrigerate the cider and rack to a new container when the yeast drops out. There's still going to be some yeast in there and they will be a little active in the fridge. I've noticed that after I let the cider age 6 months to a year, the yeast that's left over actually carbonates it nicely. I've never bottled it in glass, if you do, you want some yeast in there for carbonation. If you force carbonate, you don't need the yeast but they won't hurt anything. It'll be an extra step to get rid of them.Good Luck.View Instructable »

Human Capital Composition, Proximity to Technology Frontier and Productivity Growth
The role of human capital composition has been given importance in the most recent endogenous growth models. Assuming that primary as well as secondary education is more suitable for imitation and higher education is more appropriate for innovation, this paper empirically investigates whether the contribution of human capital to productivity growth depends on the composition of human capital and the proximity to technology frontier in a panel of 87 sample countries over the period of 1970 to 2004. The sample is further divided into 28 high, 37 medium, and 22 low income countries to gain some insights into the importance of composition effects of human capital on growth in developing countries relative to their developed counterparts. Using different levels of human capital data from four alternative sources empirical results from system GMM estimator demonstrate that growth enhancing effect of skilled human capital increases with the proximity to the technology frontier only for high and medium income countries. Unskilled human capital is contributing more for low income countries as they move closer to the technology frontier. Matured workers with tertiary education are more growth enhancing for high and medium income countries, whereas younger workers with secondary education are more growth improving for low income countries. Estimated results are consistent across male and female workers.

Zapata Swamp (Spanish: Ciénaga de Zapata, Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsjenaɣa ðe saˈpata]) is located on the Zapata Peninsula in the southern Matanzas province of Cuba. It is located less than 150 kilometres (93 mi) southeast of Havana.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][excessive citations] Ciénaga de Zapata represents also a municipality, the largest one of Cuba with 4,162 km2.[2]
Species and preservation[edit]
Within the Zapata Swamp are over 900 autochthonous plant species, 175 species of birds, 31 species of reptiles and over 1000 species of invertebrates. Some of the most notable are local endemics to Cuba; for birds, it includes the Zapata wren, Zapata rail, and the Zapata sparrow.[7] The Zapata Swamp is also visited by 65 species of birds during their migration pattern from North America through the Caribbean to South America. Zapata is also known for the local endemic Cuban crocodile (Crocodylus rhombifer) which are restricted to the Zapata Swamp and are being reintroduced to the nearby Lanier Swamp on the Isle of Youth (Spanish: Isla de la Juventud).[4][6][13]
Within the Zapata Swamp are numerous areas designated for environmental preservation, such as Zapata Swamp Natural Reserve and Las Salinas wildlife sanctuary, which is part of the larger Ciénaga de Zapata Biosphere Reserve (IUCN category VI) which in total is over 6,000 km² and the largest protected area, not only in Cuba, but also the Caribbean.[9][10][11] The swamp is not only known for its size but also for being the best preserved wetlands in all of the Antilles, designated as a "Wetland of International Importance" by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1971.[10] In mid-2001 an additional 4,520 km² were declared a Ramsar Site in mid-2001.[12]
The Zapata Swamp lies between 22°01' and 22°40' N latitude and between 80°33' and 82°09' W longitude. The swamp in total is over one million acres (4,000 km²).[5] Topographically, the maximum height above sea level is only about 10 meters with the top depth in below-sea-level coastal zones as follows: 2 meters in the salt-marsh area and from 1–600 meters in the sea coastal zone. Between May and October, the warmest season of the year, average temperature is 30 °C (86 °F). Between November and April, the coldest season of the year, the temperature on average is 20 °C (68 °F).[11][12][13]
The municipality[edit]
Ciénaga de Zapata is administered as one of 14 municipalities of the Matanzas Province and the municipal seat is located at Playa Larga, at the northern end of the Bahia de Cochinos. In 2004, the municipality of Cienaga de Zapata had a population of 8,611.[3] With a total area of 4,162 km2 (1,607 sq mi),[2] it has a population density of 2.0/km2 (5.2/sq mi).

ECommerce Viability - A new way to look at your proposed online venture
If you want to trade online and understand the risks whilst taking advantage of the opportunities then a careful look at the viability of your project is essential. This common sense approach is something you should read.
There is a marked difference in the example illustrated above and it is this point I wish to expand on. I said your chance of storming success is equivalent to that of winning the lottery and whilst this is broadly true, you should never leave your business to chance like a lottery ticket. You would still be astounded how many people do.
Similarly if your success criteria is becoming a online millionaire then you are more than likely setting yourself up for failure.
Planning and preparation in any project is of paramount importance to its success and the definition of goals and planning the path to achieve them is likely to yield more positive results and lead to return on investment not only much faster, but actually lead there at all.
It never ceases to amaze me how many online businesses simply rush out and spend thousands on the development of an ecommerce website without even considering its target audience! Commit huge budgets to paid search like Google Adwords without any research. Often all this is based on what we in the analytics industry loving refer to as a HiPPO or Highest Paid Persons Opinion! Sound familiar? Most of us have encountered HiPPOs and maybe even some of us have the the guts to admit we've been one, or still are one.
http://www.coreanalytics.co.uk now work with companies to combat HiPPO syndrome and believe me you still have to be careful. You could employ an expert, or go out and find a good agency who will help your business. A word of caution though, don't just pay another HiPPO! You should listen to your data as it will tell you far more than an individual. If you don't have data you should start to collect it. Fast.
eCommerce Considerations
When planning an online project there are some things that you should definitely sit down and do properly with no compromise. Maybe in this declining economy you have been refused financial assistance from your bank and have decided to fund the venture yourself, but you should still make a business plan! If you don't have a plan how will you know what to do? How will you know when you have achieved success or more likely when will you know you've failed. My experience tells me, usually when you have run out of money.
SWOT analysis is a fantastic tool to evaluate your position quickly. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats. Something every business should understand about its trading position, but few internet startups do. In fact could you answer all the questions? Would you know where to look?
Financial planning is a must. Its cheap to sell on the internet right? Wrong. Its just cheaper.....sometimes. If you don't plan out your costs how will you know when you have broken even or made any profit?
eCommerce Viability is something that should be considered before taking any steps into online trading. The better the planning, the better the chances of success. The more in depth the preparation and research, the better equipped you are to compete. The tighter the financial planning the more cost effective your online marketing will be. The more accurately you understand your ROI curve the more likely you are to achieve it at all. The more you understand the levers and drivers of your online business the easier you can tweak them to optimise your online performance and perhaps not head towards those millions, but certainly sustain your business and build towards steady growth.
I've not told you anything you don't know already. Make a business plan, research the market, understand your costs, identify your key performance indicators, plan for success but consider where your weak points are and how they could make you fail. Understand your competitors and their marketing strategies.
90% of online businesses won't heed this advice.
Thats great, it just means the rest of us have less competition.
If your online competitors are adopting the methods described above then not only will they have a plan, they will have you in their plans too. I should know better than most, I write them.

NOVA: Mystery of the Megaflood (2006)
Directed by Ben FoxGenres - Nature | Sub-Genres - Natural Environments, Physical Sciences, World History | Run Time - 56 min. | Countries - Canada, UK, USA |
Share on
Synopsis by Nathan Southern
Not so far back, an iconoclastic geologist began theorizing - in the face of hundreds of skeptics - that two million years ago, a titanic flood carved out the majority of present day Montana, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. His contemporaries turned their noses up and scoffed - until evidence surfaced to corroborate the scientist's theory: traces of an ancient ice dam alongside a Montana valley, which held in millions of gallons of water, until the dam itself melted - sending untold torrents across the Pacific Northwest and decimating everything in its path. In NOVA: Mystery of The Megaflood, the acclaimed and multi-award winning WGBH series NOVA uses computer generated graphics to carry viewers into this ancient realm and study the enigmatic natural catastrophe that defined and sculpted broad vistas of our country.

Brooklyn and green tea. Those are the three words I associate most with Emil Herscher, aka DJ Center, one of NY's finest and most soulful DJs. The man likes to hang around 85-95 bpm, dropping tracks that bubble up with low end and thumping kicks, tight snares and dreamy keys. He'll mix in a hip-hop track, might cut into a house song. Mostly he's known for slow hips and sweet ears, a refined taste that swerves between a Jazzanova remix of Fat Freddy's Drop, a Q-Tip banger, and his own "Sangare" take Vieux Farka Toure, without missing a beat.
Eventually that perpetual question arose: When do I release my own album? There's something undeniably gratifying about watching a dance floor move to a song you built from the ground up, a thirst that remixes cannot quite quench. Center started toying with the idea three years ago. Dozens of months of hard work later, the mission is completed with Everything in Time.
"That's really the biggest compliment you can say of anyone," Center tells me, when I first assess the album. "It sounds odd that it's hard to sound like yourself, but it's actually the hardest thing to do."
Center should know. The Romanian native has traveled internationally, tied tightly into the Giant Step crew in New York City. While using a larger vehicle is a gratifying road to drive down, the incessant buzzing of how to create and market an album can confuse producers, especially those pigeonholed in the hip-hop genre. Center has always tried to avoid that affiliation--he may drop tracks from the genre, but he is in no way confined by it. "My background is in the soul/hip-hop world," he says, "There's not too many folks that really catch my ear lyrically, and unfortunately I don't find myself listening to too many emcees these days."
That didn't stop him from linking with Oddisee, a DC-based Sudanese/American emcee, on "Leave the City Outside." Center calls him a "really refreshing voice," heavy on the creative tip. That's an understatement, given his recent Traveling Man, an album created to suit the vibe and temperament of each city he was visiting--Khartoum, Melbourne, Brixton, Sao Paulo, NYC and beyond.
Jazz is a big influence on Center's work; his previous two-disc mixtape, Feel What I'm Feelin', featured one full record devoted to cuts by Yusef Lateef, Elvin Jones, Pharoah Sanders and other gems. Maurice Brown's trumpet kicks off his collaboration with Oddisee, soon followed by a thumping kick and smooth bass line. The socially-oriented lyrics, as Center expressed, are spot on.
From the upbeat to the chill. The Dilla influence drips from every lush moment of the following track, "A Few Good Words," featuring Bay Area singer Njimole. "That was very much a blind date situation," Center says, pointing to mutual friends in California. "It's a total vibe record. So much of that was captured in the recording. By accident we left the window open a crack. We cut it in the spring, and a friend said you could feel the weather on the record." May breezes and early morning sunshine. Bass up front, keys and acoustic guitar pushed back, Njimole's siren voice in the pocket, it's a song that could break Center through.
Of course, so could "In A Song," featuring Ohio soul singer Middle Child. The album's most upbeat and punchy track, it is certainly the record's most inspired song. Having originally composed the beat as a remix for her, that fell through and this dance floor groover ended up replacing it. Speaking of which, "Center's Groove," the last of ten tracks, is the epitome of a soaring midtempo clubber, again featuring Brown's sweet horns.
At 35 minutes long, Everything in Time is about shaving the excess and getting directly to the point. "I ended up cutting a lot of it," he says. "As a DJ you come at it in terms of linking things so they make sense thematically. That's not to say the record is a DJ mix by any means. But I wanted it to flow in a certain way, and these are the ten tracks that really flowed in the way that I envisioned."
Self-released and self-hustled, DJ Center is in thick of the new culture of producers that barter beats and trade ideas, pimp their records out of backpacks and on tastemaker websites, wrap people's minds into their vibe and inspire others to follow suit. He's in no way disillusioned by the struggle--"If you're doing this purely for finance, this is probably not the time to get into music"--but he's also cognizant of the essential truth of music: "The art is the foundation, and everything has to be built from that."
DJ Center has created a masterful and beautiful album, influenced by a world of rhythms and melodies. Now he's on to the second phase. If the success of the first is any indication, his name will be one you're hearing from often. "When I was in the studio picking up the final copies," he says with a smile, "my mastering guy said, 'Ok, that was the easy part. Now it's the part they call work.'"

LifeWear A New Kind of Clothing
Enjoy Life More with Ultimate Everyday Comfort
UNIQLO is passionate about creating comfortable everyday clothes that make your life better. Today, UNIQLO boasts over 1,700 stores in 17 countries and regions, and is attracting fans from all over the world with new concepts in clothing.
Usually, the most important thing in the fashion business is to chase the latest trends faster than anyone else. At UNIQLO, however, we are striving for something completely different: an entirely new, unique category of clothing. This is founded on our LifeWear concept, which denotes high-quality, fashionable, affordable and comfortable everyday clothing.
LifeWear features the highest-quality materials, modern elegant lines and superior comfort. Designing simple, basic clothing is actually harder than offering straight "fashion"--it requires high levels of expertise, experience and unique inspiration. We are always looking to improve product development by employing world-class designers and skillful pattern makers at our research and design (R&D) centers in the global fashion cities of Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, Los Angeles and Paris.
We have worked hard over the past 15 years to develop new revolutionary materials in strategic partnership with the major synthetic fiber manufacturer Toray Industries. Such a long-standing relationship between apparel maker and materials developer is rare. The partnership has produced our innovative HEATTECH range for winter warmth, our cool and fresh AIRism innerwear, and our near-weightless Ultra Light Down outerwear. We also work with large-scale natural fiber producers to develop products such as cashmere sweaters and Supimac cotton T-shirts. These collaborative efforts enable us to offer superior products at reasonable prices to customers worldwide.
Our Fall 2015 Ultra Stretch Jeans are a great example. Constant innovation helped create the ideal jeans for women. We were able to make an amazing stretch material by exploring different ways of developing and combining fibers, and offer women an unprecedented fit that made their lives less stressful and more comfortable. Jeans originated as clothes for men doing physical work on places like farms. They weren't designed as snug-fitting, comfortable clothes for women, but UNIQLO's Ultra Stretch Jeans have changed all that.
We will continue to pursue cutting-edge innovations to perfect LifeWear everyday clothing, made for all.
UNIQLO International Driving Future Expansion
Greater China Revenue Tops ¥300 Billion for the First Time
Revenue at UNIQLO Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan) topped \300 billion in fiscal 2015. The operation is growing more rapidly than I ever imagined when we opened our first store in Hong Kong in 2005. With a middle-income population of 400 million, Mainland China has the potential to become a far bigger market for us than Japan. During Japan's economic development, consumers bought nice clothes and accessories before buying a house or a car, and I think the same will hold true in China. UNIQLO is well known in China for high-quality basic clothing, and I believe it will become the first choice for increasingly affluent Chinese customers. UNIQLO Greater China operated 467 stores at the end of August 2015. We plan to open 100 stores annually until we reach 1,000 stores, and then aim for 3,000 stores.
With 108 stores at the end of August 2015, UNIQLO is successfully building a robust business in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Australia is one of our newer markets, but it already looks very promising. Thanks to exceptional awareness of UNIQLO in Asia, new stores are generating strong sales, even in unfamiliar areas, making for a highly profitable business.
Tackling UNIQLO USA Losses Is a Top Priority
In fiscal 2015, we overhauled our U.S. strategy. We began focusing on opening new stores in major cities and expanding e-commerce sales to invigorate the U.S. operation and reduce its operating losses.
Our Soho global flagship store (2006) and 5th Avenue global flagship store (2011) are both generating strong sales in New York, where the UNIQLO brand has established a great reputation and a loyal customer base. However, in suburban shopping malls, poor awareness of the UNIQLO brand was proving a major hurdle to future development, so we decided to employ our "scrap and build" policy, closing unprofitable suburban stores and focusing instead on boosting brand awareness by opening iconic flagship and largeformat stores in prime locations in major cities.
We are also expanding e-commerce sales through digital innovation. I believe this decision is the right one in a vast market like the United States. E-commerce currently accounts for 15% of total sales in the U.S., and that operation is profitable and expanding favorably.
Our aim is to be the world's No.1 apparel brand, and that means developing solid operations in the world's largest retail market. I intend to channel the expertise of the entire Fast Retailing Group into making UNIQLO USA profitable and successful.
Opening More Stores in Major European Centers
We opened our first Belgian store in October 2015 in Antwerp, as part of our drive to expand our store presence in prominent European cities. I want to build a strong fan base across Europe by enthusiastically marketing the UNIQLO LifeWear concept in urban areas. I am also looking forward to unveiling our newly renovated 311 Oxford Street global flagship store in London in early 2016.
Transform Industry through Digital Innovation
Big Changes at UNIQLO Creating a New Industry
The widespread use of mobile devices is revolutionizing the distribution industry all over the world. With its global presence, UNIQLO is perfectly positioned to capitalize by transforming core business structures and pioneering the creation of a new industry that dissolves the existing barriers between distribution, apparel and retail.
I want to create a new system that enables us to conduct all of our processes simultaneously via the internet, from design and production to distribution and retail. This system would enable us, as creators of clothing, to rapidly produce optimum volumes of the latest fashions and ensure customers get what they want straight away. One thing is for certain: The way we shop is going to change dramatically.
Soon, UNIQLO's registered mobile users will have instant access to information about products and discounts, and will be able to readily locate and buy the items they want online. Our systems will help mobile users purchase size-appropriate clothing with ease, simply by registering their personal measurements. Already, customers ordering men's shirts online can select from a range of 169 semi-made-to-order size patterns offering a variety of neck, sleeve and body fits. They no longer need to suffer the frustration of buying an L-size shirt and finding the neck is too loose. Customer satisfaction regarding UNIQLO and its LifeWear concept will grow further as we introduce more services like this. I want to boost the contribution of e-commerce to UNIQLO's global sales from the current 5% to at least 30% in the near future.
UNIQLO will also transform vital logistics systems, starting in late 2016 with the launch of a digital flagship store based in our new state-of-the-art distribution center in Ariake, Tokyo. This will link our physical and virtual businesses. We are planning to create 10 similar centers around Japan, and more abroad.
Making a global impact with a new industry created through digital innovation will be our springboard to future success.
UNIQLO Japan Maintains Stable Growth
Local Stores, Managed by Local Employees
Part of my job is to ensure that our 841 UNIQLO Japan stores (end August 2015) continue to generate stable growth. Our scrap and build strategy, which gradually increases the average size of our stores, leads to an improved shopping experience that boosts UNIQLO's brand image.
At UNIQLO, we offer employee franchise stores, which enable experienced store managers to take over a directly run store and operate it as a franchise. Sales at these franchise stores typically increase by around 20% as the store owner adopts a sharp business mindset, and implements precise, customer-centric, and community-focused management. Until recently, I believed chain-store operations were the best shortcut to high-efficiency management at UNIQLO. However, having successfully shaped UNIQLO as a brand intrinsically linked to people's everyday lives, I no longer think our existing chain operation can fully satisfy customer demands. Instead, I want new stores that delight customers with their community feel and focus: local stores, managed by local people.
Store managers must have a good grasp of local customer needs to manage inventory effectively, provide high-quality services to local customers, and effectively train their in-store staff. To support this evolution, we have created a new permanent employee system and are encouraging approximately half of our in-store staff to transition from temporary workers to local store employees. At the end of August 2015, approximately 10,000 of the 30,000 people working at UNIQLO Japan stores had become local store employees. We also introduced a four-day working week to accommodate the at-home commitments of many local store employees, and in general to offer a more flexible workplace. If the local store employee system grows, I believe local customers will appreciate UNIQLO more, and staff will be happier.
GU Fast Fashion Headed to the Top
Fast Fashion Brand from Japan Aims to Be World No.1
Our low-priced GU casualwear brand performed extremely well in fiscal 2015, with revenue rising 31.6% year on year to \141.5 billion and operating profit almost tripling to \16.4 billion. GU's ability to satisfy customers' desire to have fun with fashion without spending a lot of money has rapidly propelled the brand to the top of Japan's fast fashion industry.
Recently, UNIQLO has learned a lot from GU, including techniques for developing garments that incorporate the latest fashion trends, approaches to fashion marketing, and methods to flexibly adjust production when required. In addition, on e-commerce, GU's strategy of appealing to younger customers with the latest marketing systems and technology is fast becoming an accepted new business model.
Our ultimate aim in Japan is for GU to be as big as UNIQLO. Moreover, we have already launched the brand in Shanghai and Taiwan, and it will be exciting to see just how far we can go. GU designs offer the perfect balance of fashion trends, basic functionality, and attention to detail. GU clothes also incorporate an element of Japanese kawaii (cuteness) that will differentiate the label from U.S. and European competitors, and help the brand establish itself as the global fast fashion leader.
Managerial Thinking at Every Level
Creating the Leading Global Apparel Company
"Changing clothes. Changing conventional wisdom. Change the world." We created this corporate statement to ensure Fast Retailing developed into a truly good corporate group. I want to encourage employees to channel their individual creativity into promoting innovation and delivering genuinely great, unique clothes to customers all over the world. Our quintessentially Japanese commitment to diligence, teamwork, high-quality products, and attentive customer service form the backbone of our management philosophy.
For me, the most important thing is to encourage employees worldwide to work with passion, and to adhere to our Global One and Zenin Keiei management principles, whereby all staff, from in-store part-timers to top managers, adopt a managerial mindset and strive to provide customers with the best products and the best service. Staff around the world are encouraged to adopt the best available global method in everything they do. If we achieve all this, UNIQLO will become the No.1 brand, and Fast Retailing the No.1 company, in apparel.
Strong Performance, Strong Dividends
Our policy is to offer high dividends that closely reflect business performance. We use profits to fund future growth, while retaining earnings to ensure healthy finances and provide good shareholder returns. In fiscal 2015, we increased our annual dividend by ¥50 to ¥350. Rewarding shareholders remains one of Fast Retailing's most important objectives.

8160 Tasting Notes
Another from dinosara and my choice for a mid afternoon puerh. I pulled this one out since i had the 2006 shu this morning just to see how they might be different given that they ARE two wildly different puerhs..but similar hahaha at least in year and region.
I have to say, not a fan of this one. There's something about the taste, even after multiple tastings that just isn't sitting with me. It's more vegetal than the shu and has a side taste that is like the oolong taste that i don't like, but isn't that taste. At least i tried..but not a fan.
Another tea from earlier this morning. While this particular harvest isn't as good as the initial harvest, the most recent harvest worries me the most given the weird taste of vanilla citrus spice. At least this cup was enjoyable of the base tea heh just not as much as it used to be!
i totally treated myself to this one today. JoonSusanna and my swedish chef were overly generous and sent me a few packets of this tea…so i'm enjoying it! and i'll hoard the rest of them for a little while haha. So good to revisit this one again. Particularly over a couple of steepings….it's as delicious as i remembered heh
Another of my puerhs from dinosara It's a snow day here in Toronto and I AM LOVING IT! So i'm doing my best to be super productive work wise but also with my puerhs. My goal today is to get through THREE sessions! Mother is coming up this weekend for wedding dress shopping, so i won't have much time to actually drink tea beyond what i take out with me. This was my morning puerh….though in retrospect i probably should have saved it for my evening puerh.
this was an earthy puerh but not overly so. as terri puts it – it's a clean earthiness. For me, the first sip made me exclaim in surprise over how refreshing the taste was… and then i promptly had several more sessions in a row, standing in the kitchen….where my other half found me gleefully holding my little cup, drinking and smiling haha. This would be one of the few verdant puerhs i might consider reordering (though i doubt it's available)….as i generally don't find myself overly impressed with a lot of their puerh.
Thanks dinosara!
thank you FJELLREV! This was on my wishlist to try after a review by my darling swedish chef and so she sent a little my way. I made this tonight for me and my other half. This is delicious! it's pineapple and papaya and sweet and delicious and yum! It's everything i want david's teas to be… just yum…without stupid sweetner!
Final Count: 81
this was another from today…and it's old blend + most recent blend….i just tossed them in the tin together and now i sort of regret it. I'm not sure if it was travel mug's fault..so i'll have to have this again tomorrow NOT in a mug…but it was…not good. Honestly i'd rank it about a 55…with the new harvest. So here's hoping it improves
this is the oldest tea in my cupboard…and it's lasting forever! no matter how much i drink it lol. Once this is done, my cupboard is basically 6 months old. not much else to say about this one beyond the fact that i love it with a little maple. and it's NOT a smokey tea

Apricot Pâte de Fruit
According to Jacques P?pin, "P?tes de fruits, or fruit jellies, are very popular around the holidays--and usually expensive." In France, p?tes de fruits are sold in high-end p?tisseries or pastry shops. The French roll them in sanding sugar, which has large crystals that cling to the candy without melting. Table sugar also works, as long as the jellies are rolled in it just before serving.
Slideshow:More Desserts by Jacques P?pin
- Total Time:
- Servings: makes about 5 dozen pieces
- Time(Other): plus cooling and overnight chilling
- One 15-ounce can apricots in syrup
- 12 dried apricot halves (4 ounces)
- 1 1/4 cups apricot preserves
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus more for coating
- 2 envelopes unflavored powdered gelatin (4 1/2 teaspoons)
- 1/3 cup cold water
How to make this recipe
Lightly oil an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Line the dish with a sheet of wax paper that extends 4 inches beyond the rim.
Strain the apricot syrup from the can into a saucepan; reserve the apricots. Add the dried apricots to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the apricots are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 7 minutes.
Transfer the contents of the saucepan to a food processor. Add the reserved canned apricots, the apricot preserves and the 1/2 cup of sugar. Process until smooth. Transfer the apricot puree to the saucepan and boil over moderately high heat, stirring often, until it has thickened and any excess liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
In a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water in an even layer. Let stand until the gelatin softens, then microwave the water for 20 seconds to dissolve the gelatin completely. Stir the gelatin into the apricot puree. Scrape the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the surface. Let cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Just before serving, unmold the apricot pâte de fruit onto a work surface. Peel off and discard the wax paper. Using a sharp knife, cut the pâte into 1-inch squares or triangles. Spread about 1/2 cup of sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll the pieces in the sugar to coat. Arrange on a platter and serve.
Make Ahead
The pâte de fruit can be prepared through Step 4 and refrigerated, covered, for up to 1 week. Dab with paper towels before proceeding.
