What is eczema
Eczema is a common skin condition where the skin becomes inflamed, red and itchy. It is a type of dermatitis and is a skin problem that can lead to dryness in other areas of the body, even if they are not directly inflamed. Someone who suffers from eczema has a gene variation that affects the skin's ability to protect it from bacteria and allergens. This results in the skin overreacting to certain triggers such as dust, skin care products, detergents, animals etc. Eczema is not contagious & if the person is not scratching his/or her skin, it is purely cosmetic. The skin discolorations are side effects of a patient's body trying to heal after a skin breakout.
The cause of inflammation varies from person to person, but some common triggers are:
- Allergies (foods, animals, environment)
- Stress (very common)
- Alcohol
- Smoking
- Poor diet
- Not drinking enough water
- Sleep (Sleep reduces inflammation throughout the body)
- Body overheating
It's good to point out that psoriasis is often confused with eczema. Although they have some similarities, they are different skin conditions. You can read more about the difference between the two conditions here.
Symptoms vary from person to person, but some common symptoms include:
- Redness
- Hives
- Itchy Skin
- Dry skin
- Cracking
- Blisters
Types of eczema
There are a number of different types of eczema, which vary in symptoms and treatment options. Some of the more common types include:
Atopic eczema
Atopic eczema is the most common type of eczema, and is an allergic disorder which is usually hereditary. This is typical for people whose other family members may have other health issues like asthma and hay fever. In most cases, it comes in the form of a rash that leads to intense itching, especially in the 'hot' areas of the body such as behind the knees, elbows, neck, chest and inner thighs.
Xerotic eczema
erotic eczema is commonly found in individuals with extreme cases of dry skin, also known as winter's itch. During the winter period, patients suffering from xerotic eczema can experience heightened symptoms, with the eczema usually affecting the core area, legs, and arms.
Contact dermatitis
Contact dermatitis is another form of eczema, which is triggered when someone comes into contact with a substance they are allergic or sensitive to. Common irritants include chemical based soaps, detergents and washing cleaners. This is one of the easier forms of eczema to treat, as the individual can stop using the products they know cause irritation or allergic reaction.
Seborrhoeic dermatitis
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is another common type of eczema, which appears as red, scaly, itchy and inflamed skin. It is also common amongst babies which is known as cradle cap. This particular type of eczema is often associated with dandruff, peeling or flaking of the scalp.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for eczema, but there are ways to manage the condition - calming inflammation and reducing itching. There are a number of over-the-counter solutions available to treat eczema, however these are often full of chemicals and ingredients that can be harmful to your overall health. These products can have a range of side effects when used over a long period of time, including:
- Increased skin sensitivity
- Thinner skin (very easily bruised)
- High blood pressure
- Suppressed hormone production
- Weight gain
- Pimples
- Cushing syndrome
At Grahams Natural, we recommend a natural approach to treating eczema. We have developed a range of products made from all natural ingredients that have been clinically formulated to help your skin. Our products have been designed to:
- Hydrate the skin
- Treat the inflammation
- Treat the infection
One of the most important aspects of maintaining and keeping eczema under control is a proper moisturising routine on a daily basis to avoid the problems with dry skin. The best time to moisturise is directly after a shower or bath; this is when the skin's pores are raw and open. If patients have dry skin, they can expect even more problems. So, maintaining a moisturised skin barrier is one of the best things that you can do.
Our top recommended products for treating eczema are:
C+ Eczema & Dermatitis Cream
Shop now >
Grahams Natural C+ Eczema & Dermatitis Cream offers 6 hours of hydration while fighting inflammation with the powerful herbs (Calendula, Gotu Kola and Jojoba Oil) and controlling bacteria (Manuka Honey). We have created an 'oil-in-water' formula, which means it provides a cool, soothing feel to relieve itching and pain. Suitable for all ages, our Natural C+ Eczema Cream is a must-have for all eczema sufferers.
Natural Body & Bath Oil
Shop now >
Grahams Natural Body & Bath Oil rejuvenates the skin's natural oils while leaving your body feeling hydrated and replenished. With an all-natural gentle combination of oils, this oil can be added to your bath, or applied directly to your skin for ultimate hydration.
Therapeutic Skin Care Pack
Shop now >
Using these products together is ideal. Coating the skin with the oil will hydrate the skin and create a protective barrier, while the cream works to fight inflammation and control bacteria, keeping your skin clean. Save 25% with our Therapeutic Skin Care Pack which combines the two products.
We have also created a handy 'How-to guide' for further recommendations on how to treat eczema. Check it out here.
Management & controlling your eczema
The good news is that there are many different things that people can do to control and minimise the effects of this skin condition. Try and stay away from harsh detergents, soaps, powders, and chemicals. There are natural hypoallergenic detergents and moisturising soaps on our website that specifically made for people with sensitive skin! It is also a good idea to avoid perfumes and powders of any kind. These products are not good for the skin and will most likely make the situation even worse.
Feel free to contact us if you have questions!
What is psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that commonly presents itself in the form of scaling and redness of the skin. Psoriasis occurs when there is an intensified production of the skin, accumulating in white patches on the knee, elbow and scalp areas. It can also have an impact on the joints but in most cases, outbreaks come in the form of patches known as psoriatic plaques. Contrary to popular belief, psoriasis is not the same as eczema (although often confused), and it is not contagious.
The symptoms associated with psoriasis are often confused with eczema, you can read more about eczema here. Typically the skin on the area affected by psoriasis comes with a silver or white colour. Other symptoms may include:
- Patches of skin that are dry, inflamed or red
- Flaky skin
- Itchy skin
A doctor should be able to diagnose psoriasis with a simple visual check up. There is no need to perform special tests or other medical procedures to diagnose this condition, however, if there are other symptoms present on the skin, doctors may conduct a skin biopsy.
Causes & triggers
Modern medicine has still not identified the exact cause of this disease. However, most experts support the theory that it is a result of a certain genetic disorder. While the exact cause is unknown, we are aware of a number of triggers that can cause psoriasis symptoms to flare:
- Certain foods - check out our blog post on the top 5 foods to avoid here
- Stress
- Alcohol
- Cold, dry weather
- Some medications
Triggers will vary from person to person, so it's important to learn what your body needs to help manage this disease.
Just like many other skin conditions, psoriasis can come in different forms. Below are the most common types of the condition.
This is the most general type of this skin condition. About 85% of all patients diagnosed have this type of psoriasis. It usually occurs in the form of elevated inflamed skin regions. The skin in these areas is flaky and white.
This type is described as a smooth patch of skin affected by inflammation. In most cases, it is found in the bends of the skin. Friction and perspiration will make the situation worse.
This leads to the modification of the physical appearance of toe and finger nails. The changes usually come in the form of ridges in the nails, discoloration of nails, thickening of the skin located under nails, pitting and crumbling of nails and loose nails.
This type is characterised by relatively small round patches. The patches are small, but they are usually covering large areas. They are most commonly found on the scalp, core section, legs, and arms.
This is another type which usually covers a larger area of inflamed skin. Redness, extreme dryness, pain swelling and itching are some of the symptoms of this particular type.
You can easily recognise pustular psoriasis because it has a specific appearance. It comes in the form of elevated sores that look very similar to blisters. They too have pus. Typically, these patches/blisters occur on the feet and hands.
Every person dealing with psoriasis is different, as is the type and severity of psoriasis they are experiencing. Therefore it is highly recommended to consult a doctor before starting out on any new treatments. Dermatologists can conduct a range of treatments, and will work with you to determine the best possible treatment for you.
Typically, topical treatments are an effective treatment for those suffering from psoriasis. Dermatologists will often recommend the use of specific moisturisers and bath treatments, which work to hydrate the skin, reduce redness and soothe the skin. Unfortunately, many of these treatments are chemical based and can cause additional irritation when used over an extended period of time. That's why we would always recommend a natural product, such as the Grahams Natural Psoriasis Cream.
Grahams Natural Psoriasis Cream
Our naturally formulated psoriasis cream has been scientifically developed to treat psoriasis, with no added chemicals. It is a topical emollient therapy, to be used in conjunction with professional medical management of psoriasis. This cream works to hydrate the skin and relieve the common symptoms of psoriasis. For best results, we recommend using in conjunction with our Body & Bath Oil, Cleansing Bar or for scalp psoriasis try our Psoriasis Care Pack.
Management & controlling / prevention
While psoriasis cannot be cured, there are ways to prevent or lower the severity of this condition. Things to avoid include:
- Excessive drinking of alcohol
- Stress
- Extreme heat
- Powders
- Chemical based detergents & soaps
If you have any questions or concerns, check out our how to guide here or feel free to contact us!
What is Rosacea?
Rosacea is one of the most skin problems today. A chronic, inflammatory skin condition that affects the blood vessels, Rosacea most commonly occurs on the face and appears in the form of reddened skin. Rosacea is often confused with acne, eczema or a skin allergy. When left untreated, it can worsen over time, so it's important to seek diagnosis if you suspect you may have rosacea.
There are a range of symptoms of this skin disorder, the most common being the altering of skin colour. Typically skin will appear red and while it can occur anywhere, it's most commonly found on the forehead, nose and cheeks. In addition to red patches, people with rosacea may also experience flushed skin on the neck, chest, scalp and ears. Symptoms may include:
- Inflamed blood vessels on the face
- Flushing / blushing
- Persistent redness
- Red bumps (often mistaken for acne)
- Bulbous nose (less common)
Causes & triggers
While there is no scientific evidence to prove the exact cause of rosacea, there are some common triggers that cause symptoms to flare. These triggers vary from person to person, but typically occur when stimuli dilate the blood vessels for example some foods, alcohol, medications & bacteria.
- Food - for some rosacea sufferers, spicy or hot foods can trigger symptoms to flare.
- Alcohol - while not a cause of rosacea, alcohol can cause symptoms to worsen
- Medication - some medications, topical and nasal steroids
- Skin care products - in particular products that contain chemicals such as many anti-wrinkle treatments
- Stress - feeling stressed, embarrassed or angry can cause a flare
- Extreme temperatures - e.g. hot weather, being in a spa or sauna
- Bacteria & mites - skin and intestinal bacteria are the main culprits
Similarly to many other skin conditions, there are a range of different types of rosacea. Each type has its own specific symptoms and treatment methods.
Phymatous rosacea
Phymatous rosacea appears as irregular skin surfaces and nodularity, thickened skin and increased visibility of tiny blood vessels close to the skin's outer layer. It has a direct impact on the eyes, nose, cheeks, ears, chin and forehead and can also be related to nose enlargement problem known as rhinophyma.
Ocular rosacea
As the name suggests, this type usually has an impact on the eyes. It comes with symptoms like itching and burning and a constant feeling that the patient has something stuck in the eyes. Patients suffering have to deal with dry and red eyelids and eyes. Eye irritation is not unusual in cases like this.
Papulopustular rosacea
Many people mistake papulopustular rosacea as acne problems. The typical symptom of papulopustular rosacea is the occurrence of red bumps (papules) with pus. These bumps are known as pustules. These papules last for about five days before they are naturally dissolved. Patients with this type experience continuous redness on a certain part of their skin, an occurrence known as erythema. The papules are prone to blushing and flushing and some patients can experience itching or burning sensations.
The best treatment varies based on the type and severity of rosacea you're experiencing. We recommend seeing a dermatologist who will detect the symptoms and diagnose the correct type of rosacea, before recommending a suitable treatment.
Laser treatment
This is a popular form of treatment, where a dermatologist will use a special light that penetrates the epidermis and focus on the dermis capillaries.
CO2 laser treatment
Another type of laser treatment, CO2 laser treatment relies on CO2 beams to cut the tissues and eliminate tissue formations. This type of treatment is usually used for phytamous rosacea.
Grahams Natural Rosacea Cream
We've developed a naturallly formulated rosacea cream that has been scientifically formulated to treat and manage rosacea. Designed to reduce inflammation and hydrate the skin, this cream can reduce redness and soothe sensitive skin.
"Rosacea has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It's the one thing that I really hate about my skin. I have been using Grahams Rosacea Cream morning and night for the past 2 months. My redness has calmed quite a lot although not disappeared totally but then I never really expected that. My skin feels soft and hydrated. For anyone with Rosacea, sensitive and reactive skin I would suggest giving Grahams Rosacea Cream a try."
- Anna Maree
We have also created a handy 'How-to guide' for further recommendations on how to treat rosacea. You can download this here.
While there is no known cure for rosacea, there are a few things people can do to try and prevent a flare up of the condition.
- Modify your skin care routine. Try using gentler products, specifically designed for sensitive skin
- Avoid excessive exposure to the sun. When in the sun, wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses.
- Avoid foods that trigger your symptoms. You can also try an elimination diet to see if there are specific food types causing skin problems.
Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Are International Conferences Getting Any Better? A Bit - Thanks to Some Sparky New Tech
For a 'club of rich countries', the OECD spends a lot of time thinking about development. It's Development Cooperation Directorate does the number crunching on aid; the OECD Development Centre publishes annual Economic Outlooks on Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia, or Latin American revenue statistics.
Last week I spent a couple of chilly days at its Paris HQ at the 5th Global Forum on Development discussing the inevitable topic – post2015 and what comes after the MDGs (background papers here). I'm trying to resist the post2015 bandwagon, but it's generating a hell of a slipstream.
But why did they even invite me? After all, my main reaction to the last OECD conference I attended was to write a post on the awfulness of such international events (a series of soporific panels in a lightless room), and whether they can be salvaged.
So was this one any better? Yes in a few important ways. OK, it was still 300 people in an underground bunker flicking through their emails and half-listening to panels that over-ran and ate up question time, but the organizers had added some nice IT spice to the mix.

The four wind farms — with a total installed capacity of 72MW — will be built in the Aisne, Pas-de-Calais and Nord departments and owned by a 50/50 joint venture between the companies.
EDF EN, the renewable arm of the French utility, will provide asset management post-commissioning in 2014 and will oversee maintenance.
The joint venture announcement follows a deal signed in January when Mitsubishi bought a 50% stake in a 55MW EDF EN solar project in France.
"This deal represents an opportunity for EDF EN to bolster its wind energy portfolio and strengthen its position in France. It will also expand the partnership with Mitsubishi in renewable energies generation," said EDF EN executive vice president of strategy Emmanuel Jaclot.

How Greenpeace is using satire to call out NZ Dairy Bosses on their outrageous billboard.
You can't miss it. Even at night. The Fonterra billboard bores down through your windscreen with sunny insistence. It strikes you the moment you leave Auckland airport and head into the city. A bold statement designed to make New Zealanders proud and put overseas visitors on notice about the clean green nature of the country they've just landed in.
Welcome it says, to the home of pure dairy. Kind of sickening. A visceral reaction to this blunt force PR is the motivation for the latest film from Greenpeace. It's a parody that's been visited upon the New Zealand Dairy Leadership over the last two weeks. We felt we had to act on the yawning disconnect between the billboard and the lived (and swimmed) r...

After confronting Statoil and Chevron seismic blasting 50 nautical miles off the Wairarapa coast in small inflatable boats, we put out a call to New Zealanders to help us buy a bigger boat. The response was phenomenal. Within seven days we'd crowdfunded nearly $100,000 and bought a bigger boat! As the newest member of the Greenpeace fleet, it's got its rainbow stripes, and a new name chosen by you.Taitu as a verb meaning to hinder, impede, deter, and thwart an enemy. As a name for a boat it references the sea (Tai) and Tu means standing, strength, warrior spirit. Soon we plan to head out again, this time in our people-powered boat Taitu, and continue our protest against climate-wrecking oil exploration.This is the speech that Kate Simcock gave at the naming ceremony for Taitu before it he...

Wow - we did it! Together, we've bought 'The People's Boat'. Almost 1,000 people chipped in and together we have bought the boat that's going to confront the Amazon Warrior - AKA, The Beast.
Now we need you to give it a name. It's only fitting that a crowdfunded boat gets a crowdsourced name!
We need a name that reflects its people-powered spirit, its New Zealand heritage, and its new role as a guardian of our oceans and coastlines. It's a humble 15 metre ex-pilot boat with 7 berths and gets along at a fair rate of knots. It's not flashy, but it's seaworthy and safe.

In classical ballet, the male dancers are usually nothing more than glorified chairs and ladders in tights. While they are occasionally showcased in brief solos and pas de deux (a duet for two dancers, typically a male and female), they exist primarily to showcase the ballerina. They lift her while she dances and stand there as she spins. It is rare to see a male ballet dancer take center stage, but the Boston Ballet does an amazing job showcasing their male dancers in their Fall Program this season.
The program features three contemporary ballet pieces that push the boundaries of the classical ballet convention. By taking an innovative spin on themes, narratives, and gender roles, the Boston Ballet successfully reinterprets the traditions of classical ballet, presenting a thought-provoking Fall Program that is thoroughly enjoyable for both ballet connoisseurs and newcomers to the art form.
The opening piece, Christopher Bruce's "Rooster," is danced entirely to music by the Rolling Stones and sets the stage for the show's wonderfully iconoclastic display of ballet. The dance features an unusual gestural phrase in which the men literally strut like roosters and occasionally stop to slick back their hair in a very Elvis-esque style. This slightly unnerving movement is repeated and alluded to throughout the entire piece, developing it into a comforting recurring thread that ties the piece's eight dances together. This masculinized phrase material combined with Rolling Stones music paints "Rooster" as a dance about the American mating ritual from the male perspective that makes the male dancers the true stars of the show.
One of the most stunning and memorable dances was "Paint it Black," featuring a lone male dancer partnered by three women. This innovatively choreographed dance directly contradicts ballet's traditional partnering style and allows the male dancer to truly showcase his talent and technique. Instead of the standard gender roles, the male dancer is the soloist, and the three women lift, spin, and turn him. This creative choreography luxuriates and showcases the male dancer in a refreshing and inventive way.
The second piece was the world premiere of Jorma Elo's ballet "Awake Only." Of the three pieces, Elo's choreography is the most traditional of the ballets in the Fall Program, and uses music, stage setting, and costuming simply but skillfully to convey a profound message and narrative.
The piece is about a young man meeting his past and future selves in a dream, which coninues the Ballet's male-centric trend. Like "Rooster," Elo's main dancers are all men: a child, a young man, and an adult. Costume designer Charles Heightchew uses simple outfits to link these three male dancers. The little boy wears pajamas, the young man wears a body suit, and the adult is bare-chested with tights. While all of these outfits are different, they are made from the same patterned material, which suggests to the audience that these are all the same man.
Elo uses the silence between dance numbers to tell the main narrative story. When the music ends and the dancers stop, the men interact with one another. The little boy takes the young man by the hand and leads him across the stage. The young man holds his adult counterpart and teaches him how to move. The ultimate effect of these moments contribute to the piece's larger theme that maturation is not necessarily a linear process.
Jeffrey Cirio, the young man and principal soloist in "Awake Only," is a breathtaking dancer with a moving stage presence. He leaps in his first solo with a powerful pas de chat en tournant, and throughout the dance lands all of his intricate jumps soundlessly and effortlessly. But beyond Cirio's beautiful technique and stunning lines, he has a striking charisma onstage. He masterfully conveys joy, ecstasy, and loss all whilst flying through the air. This combination of talents makes Cirio the perfect star of this profound piece and adds a level of gravitas to the dance that only a truly skilled dancer can execute.
William Forsythe's piece "The Second Detail" ends the Fall Program on a controversial note. It is by far the most unconventional dance in the program and uses stark sets, sleek costumes, and jarring music to shake the audience and force them to draw their own conclusions. Forsythe pairs powerful movements with the strong down beats of his odd-but-climatic music to emphasize dancer's sharp and beautiful phrases.
Unlike the other dances, "The Second Detail" does not follow any distinct narrative, making it hard for the audience to emotionally connect with the dance. But at the same time, this lack of didactic story allows the audience to pull their own individualized conclusions from the piece. Thus, "The Second Detail" is either the perfect or worst ending to the program. It either leaves the audience yearning and working for a conclusion, or completely confused and discombobulated.
However, the Boston Ballet presents a beautifully choreographed and wonderfully performed Fall Program that pushes the boundaries of the classical ballet traditions. The show does a great job at showcasing the male dancers and goes so far as to cast them as the gender transgressive "prima ballerinas." The final piece—while confusing at times and galvanizing at others—ties the show up nicely, completing the theme of reinterpretation of traditional ballet.

Cougar Men Claim Highest Ranking in History
COLUMBIA -- The Cougar men's basketball team, off to the best start in program history at 16-0, moved up four spots to No. 2 in the latest NAIA Top 25 poll released Tuesday by the national office. Columbia received four of eleven first-place votes and 265 points overall in the poll, finishing just behind top-ranked Cumberlands (Ky.) University. The Patriots hold the No. 1 position for the second time in school history and moved up one spot from the previous poll back on December 11, 2012.
The No. 2 ranking is the highest in program history for the Cougars and the first time they have appeared in the top five since the 2004 season. Columbia is one of two undefeated teams left this season.
Lewis-Clark State (Idaho) College moved up eight spots to No. 3 and are the other undefeated squad with an 18-0 record. Oklahoma Baptist University, previously ranked No. 1, and Pikeville (Ky.) College rounded out the top five.
Columbia is off to a 2-0 start in the American Midwest Conference (AMC) with wins over William Baptist (Ark.) College and Park (Mo.) University. The Cougars will take on Benedictine University of Springfield (Ill.) on Thursday, January 10th. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Arena of Southwell Complex.

Raikkonen's back 'much better' after surgery
Kimi Raikkonen says his back feels "much, much better" since he underwent surgery at the end of last season to help ease a long-standing injury.
Raikkonen skipped the final two races of last year to have the surgery ahead of his return to Ferrari over the winter and says he has got back to work in testing without any issues.
"It's been okay since I had the operation," he said. "Hopefully it will stay like that. But with those things you never know, it's been there for a long time. I've had things done for it before and some days it's good and then you wake up the next day and it might not be. But it's been much, much better and pretty normal since [the operation]."
Raikkonen said Ferrari made good progress at last week's test but still had plenty to work through in Bahrain later this week.
"We are getting there and we have four days left to learn all the things. At the first race it will be a bit of an unknown but it's the same every year - you run out of time and you want to have more testing. That's how it goes and we will see how we do next week and go from there."

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
NJDOE conducts technical assistance monitoring activities for educational institutions to evaluate the effectiveness of their compliance with all relevant rules and regulations that relate to the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006. The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 legislation requires the NJDOE to monitor subgrantees to ensure program and fiscal compliance. Additionally, OMB Circular A-133: Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations assigns certain responsibilities to primary recipients of federal awards that subgrant funds to other organizations. Such primary recipients are termed pass-through entities. A-133 requires pass-through entities to monitor the activities of subrecipients as necessary to ensure that federal awards are used appropriately and that performance goals are achieved. Pass-through entities must also ensure that subrecipients meet any audit responsibilities. Further, the Single Audit Act of 1996 also requires states to monitor subreceipients to ensure that Federal funds are used appropriately.
Monitoring Process
Monitoring is the review process used in determining a subrecipient's compliance with the requirements of a State and/or Federal program, adhering to applicable laws and regulations, and measuring progress toward stated results and outcomes. Monitoring includes a review of documentation and data maintained by the subrecipient; information obtained in interviews; and information obtained through observation. Monitoring determines if a subrecipient is in compliance with State and/or Federal expectations. Monitoring also determines if the financial management and accounting systems are adequate to account for program funds in accordance with State and/or Federal requirements.
Perkins Consolidated Monitoring Tool
Perkins Postsecondary Monitoring Tool
Selection of School Districts
The NJDOE will identify subrecipients to be monitored based on a risk analysis process. A subrecipient is an entity that expends Federal awards received from the NJDOE to carry out a Federal program. Some subrecipients may be monitored every year because of their risk level, while others may be monitored once every two or three years.
Corrective Action Plan
The subrecipient is responsible for submitting a corrective action plan that addresses each monitoring finding and for submitting supporting documentation. The corrective action plan must be submitted within the timeframe identified in the monitoring report. If corrective action cannot be completed within the requested timeframe, the subrecipient should request an extension of time in writing. If the subrecipient does not agree with any of the monitoring findings or does not believe that corrective action is required, an explanation should be included.
A follow-up to the monitoring review may vary depending upon the findings and how the corrective action plan is being managed. Follow up may include communication with the subrecipient after the submission and review of the corrective action plan. If needed, additional monitoring visits may be scheduled.

Living Room- A place to be!
We are stories in the making and furniture is the backdrop in every dramatic scene. No matter how many turns our life takes, furniture stands strong on the ground. With every passing moment, it fades away in the background but never forgets to offer you with immense comfort. These strong characters stand still in time while we sleep, jump, roll, spill, break, and do what not. Living room is one such place that lives to watch all the drama while observing deep silence. This one place serves as an epicentre to numerous activities and gets moulded with addition or subtraction of furniture pieces. Grace up this space with furniture pieces that reflect true identity of you or your entire family. No matter how big or small the space is, always fill it up with living room furniture that is soothing to your senses. At Tezerac, you can dive into a pool of 1000+ pieces and pick the one you like the most. Breathe! Yes, we have more than 1000+ unique choices to go through that are listed in an easy-to-grasp format. Religiously following our motto 'Furniture in a box', we house pieces that are like dreams given solid forms. Every piece on the list is designed and conceptualised by international designers who have vast experience in moulding material and giving it a second life.
Sofa or Table- Everything Fabulous!
Looking for something comfortable or something grand? Or just couldn't hold yourself from checking out our intimating collection? No matter why you visited Tezerac, you will find something that might fit right into your must-have list. Our collection will not only give you new ideas for revamping your space but also make you rethink about that old furniture. Check out our living room furniture collection that includes some of the most interesting pieces. Our ever-doubling range includes living room sofas as curvaceous as river Nile and coffee tables as beautiful as moon shining after rain. Wrapped in fabric or just a polished structure, our living room sofas will entice you in more than one level. We offer you with a choice to fill up your cosy space with the whole set or buying individual pieces as per your liking. Replace your old coffee table with an upholstered coffee table for an elegant touch or concrete coffee table for a masculine touch. Wicked use of material like mother of pearl, bone, resin, glass, marble and more make most of the pieces exclusive. We cover A-Z type of furniture that falls under living room category. If you wish to stow away those throws or organise your space in a tidy manner, then you need to get hold of our TV Units with ample amount of storage as well as functionality. Organise your photo frames, trinkets hoarded during memorable journeys, and whatever you feel mismanaged with the use of floating wall shelves from our vast collection.
Quality Matters!
From the initial process of designing to the end process of giving a piece final touch, we ensure that quality is maintained. While designing living room furniture, we ensure that every detail is taken into due consideration. Before manufacturing process starts, our artisans determine the quality of wood, metal, or fabric to be used. Due consideration is given to use of quality material sourced from renowned partners. For every wooden piece, we source well-seasoned wood to avoid cracking or scrapping during the passage of time. The fabric is checked for thread count, shrinkage, and colour fasting before it is used over an upholstered piece of living room furniture. After the manufacturing process completes, every piece undergoes a stringent quality check. At Tezerac, we prefer quality over quantity as our main aim is to deliver pieces that will last longer.
Some Unique Ideas for a Breathtakingly Beautiful Living Room
After you set fire to your old furniture and before placing an order on our portal, give a nice look to your living room. Measure every nook and corner using a measuring tape and jot down these details in a small diary or a phone or wherever you wish. Chart out the floor area and divide the same into dedicated fractions. Focus on dedicating a major part of the space to the breathable area. Start with an uber-chic, comfortable sofa or a sofa set that will give a character to your space. Provide your flat-screen TV with a place of glory with the use of a capacious TV unit or a sleek console. If you have centrally located window in the living room, place a bench with storage against it to create a cosy sitting area. Fill up the corners between sofas with a use of stackable nested tables or elegant end tables. Give the centre of the room a unique touch by placing an aesthetically designed coffee table.

The Road Trip Of A Lifetime
It all started late one night when publisher Jerry Pitt opened his office e-mail at our hotel room during Carlisle's All-Chrysler Nationals 2000. His "In" box had a fresh e-mail from Will Holman, an editor with Practical Classics, one of our sister emap magazines in England. Will said he was interested in coming to America to do a story on driving a white Challenger from Denver to San Francisco, and asked if we knew a Challenger owner willing to let them use it. I told Jerry we could go one better: Ted Stephens, owner of Stephens Performance and VP Merchandising, now owns all the Challengers used by Twentieth Century Fox for the 1996 television remake of Vanishing Point. Moreover, he was at Carlisle for the weekend. We had an answer for Will by the next morning.
Of all the movies featuring Mopars, Vanishing Point and its meth-driven star are perhaps the best-remembered. Wheeling a dirty Challenger R/T across the far west, Kowalski had just 15 hours to thunder from Denver to San Francisco, though we never actually found out why. Chased by the cops through three states and meeting a surreal assortment of characters, his at-speed experience reached its brutal end at 140 mph. It's still a benchmark car film. With our friends from the other side of the world, a plan was formulated to indeed recreate Kowalski's last run, minus the mind-altering substances (the ride would be stimulant enough).
Day 1: Denver
Fast forward three months to October, and it was showtime. When my connecting flight to Denver was grounded in Minnesota, I was a day late to the party; so Ted took the opportunity to show the Brits some down-home Southern hospitality.
He'd had the Challenger trailered from Alabama to Denver, and then found a ratty green Challenger parts car to put on the trailer for the haul back to 'Bama. Fresh off the plane from Britain, and after spending 24 hours crammed into the coach section, Will and photographer Mark Dixon were shown this heap and told quite frankly that the boys back at Ted's shop had loaded the wrong car on the trailer and their requested white Challenger was about 3000 miles away. "But we think we can get this one running…." Swear words sound quaint when spoken with a British accent. Fortunately, Mark and Will saw the humor after seeing the white car parked around the corner. Welcome to America, boys! After tweaking the carb to acclimate it to Denver's thin air and adjusting the T-bars to level the front of the car, our gang was off. Gang? Well, while it'd be cool to say we headed for San Fran with nothing more than the clothes on our back and cameras around our necks, the real story is that we played it a little closer to the vest. Ted's friends Dan Schultz and Russ Welch followed in a dually pickup with a trailer, while Jackie Stephens was behind the wheel of a rental van hauling luggage and camera gear.
Heading out of Denver, the plan was simple–cover the same ground the film crew used during the filming of Vanishing Point 30 years ago, all the way to the California border while avoiding mechanical failures, bulldozers, and The Man. Just like Kowalski, we would not.
Driving west from Colorado, there are extremes of scenery across the high plains and mountains of Colorado to the endless miles of nothing that is Utah and Nevada. We followed the map shown and verbally communicated throughout the movie, though it was obvious that the location coordinator of the first Vanishing Point film had taken some geographic liberties while plotting Kowalski's course.
Besides driving through some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country, the week-long culture clash with our British guests was also fun. While both car enthusiasts of the first order (Mark has owned several American cars, and Will is currently putting one together), they were amazed at the absolute expanse of our country and our customs, which went beyond our liking cold beer and food with flavor.
Mark has visited the US before, but limited his stays to New York and California and didn't really see the country. The whole of Britain will fit in an area the size of the Great Lakes, and for them to drive through hours of empty country on roads with a bend only every 50 miles was hard to get used to.
So were the food portions. A good country-style breakfast here in the States is apparently a bit more than most Brits eat in a day, which gives a new perspective to the United States being one of the largest countries in the world. Males being the way we are, and three of the four Yank gents in attendance not having seen the good side of 220 pounds or a 32-inch waist since high school, we felt obliged to further embellish our meals a bit for Will's benefit. A week's worth of monster breakfasts, greasy hamburgers, and country fried steak with sausage gravy sent him home a good bit heavier, and probably in need of angioplasty.
The first night, we stayed in Grand Junction, Colorado, where Mopars Unlimited of Colorado hosted a small get-together for us at the local Pizza Hut. The following morning we headed out of town for a tromp through a junkyard, and the Brits enjoyed the experience as much as we did. Ted did some serious shopping, loading the trailer with rust-free sheetmetal, while I scored a pristine hood and cable-remote mirrors for my '61 Plymouth station wagon. This was the only junkyard we hit, but it would have been easy to spend the week yard hopping our way across the west. Maybe next year.
Day 2: Cisco, Utah:
Though in the movie Kowalski met his end in Cisco, California, the former uranium boom town is actually located in Utah. Or more precisely, what's left of Cisco is in Utah. No longer listed on any many maps, Cisco is little more than a road bordered by train tracks on one side and falling-down buildings constructed of railroad ties and a smattering of clapboard houses on the other.
Inhabited by fewer than ten people who watch through their blinds but won't answer the door when you knock, Cisco can best be described as a wasteland. The one man we met who would talk to us spends his days smelting aluminum out of scrap he hauls in off the plains, firing it in a natural-gas-fed furnace and pouring it into 15 pound ingots he sells for thirty-five cents a pound. The sandy rock terrain is too harsh even for scrub brush to take hold, and what plant life does manage to root is obliterated by the frequent wind storms that blow through the area. Dotting the landscape are dozens of storm cellars dug in man-made mounds or under building foundations. Many of them are filled with decaying, crystallized TNT, which is less stable than nitroglycerin, and often explodes simply because some poor mouse walked across the wooden box it's stored in.
"We keep it in the cellars so if it explodes it blows up and not out. That way nothing gets damaged," the aluminum man tells us. Looking around, we fail to see what difference it could possibly make, but we nod anyway and agree that it makes good sense. Between blowing up (instead of out), the mysterious silhouettes in the windows and inhaling the uranium dust we're sure is still on the wind out here, all of us but Ted decide Cisco is just below the seventh circle of Hell on our list of places to visit. After the aluminum man gave Ted a couple of old metal signs that may have been glimpsed in the movie, Ted has vowed a return trip to look for the ultimate piece of memorabilia: the Camaro they slammed into the 'dozers back in '70. Reasoning they wouldn't have hauled its remains far before depositing them in the desert, he's sure the wreckage is somewhere out there, though Aluminum Man doesn't know where it could be. Remember the movie? The old man had his snakes, but Ted has the Camaro.
Day 3: Austin, Nevada
By the time we hit Austin, Nevada, the next day, the transmission in the Challenger had developed a thirsty leak past the pump seal. A call from the chase vehicle over the two-way radio the night before had alerted us that something was dripping onto the hot crossover pipes on the exhaust, evidenced by telltale white smoke trailing beneath the car. Ted was prepared for such an emergency and had brought along several bottles of transmission "miracle goo," some sort of thick blood-red salve with the consistency of rubber cement on a cold day. By now, the travel on the brake pedal had also begun to grow, and there was a good distance between depressing the pedal and the brakes responding.
The sign along the road into town proclaims Austin "The loneliest town on the loneliest road in America." We've already been to Cisco, but that can't be considered much of a town anymore, so we had to agree. Kowalski blasted through Austin, barely spending more than thirty seconds in it. In real life, just doing the speed limit gives you the same experience. Austin, like many towns in this part of the country, is a dying boom town. "We're a small town, and it's nice," says the keeper of the Lincoln Motel, Austin's only inn. "We're so small, we know everybody's pets' names and recognize them when we see them."
Everyone in town remembers Vanishing Point and comments on the Challenger. The cast and crew were in Austin for a time during the filming, staying at the Lincoln and eating across the street at the Frontier Hotel and Cafe. Barry Newman stayed in Room Number 5, and that's the room Ted and Jackie request. The brown shag carpeting and green glass lamp with a tasseled shade lead us to believe that not much has changed since Newman turned the dials to change channels on the television set. But the price is right, the rooms are clean, and there's just something right about staying in a small-town motel instead of a Holiday Inn Express.
The Frontier is no longer a hotel, but it's easy to imagine the upstairs rooms and saloon girls from a century before. The Civil War-era bar is well stocked, and like the film crew, that's where we spend our evening. Breakfast the next morning is remarkably good, and we encourage Will to eat up, as it's a long time until lunch.
Unlike most of the towns we've gone through on the trip, Austin is fighting for a second chance. Some enterprising residents have gotten grants from the government and the town now hosts several downhill bicycle races a year, and a 4×4 off-road recreation area is in the works. Small businesses catering to the tourist industry are beginning to pop up, and buildings on the only street in town are being renovated. Austin has learned that the new economy of the old west is tourist dollars, and they're taking advantage of it. It's good to see.
Day 4: Goldfield, Nevada
Super Soul, the movie's well-remembered DJ, has long since stopped broadcasting from KOW's studio on the first floor of the Goldfield Hotel, but the hotel still strikes an imposing profile, visible over all the other buildings from a couple miles out of town. Several years ago a restoration of the hotel was started, but money, along with most of the town, dried up and the project was never completed. A small group of local folks are determined to see the restoration through, but a multi-million-dollar investment in a hotel for a town with nothing to do or see leaves one wondering.
Mark and I grabbed the Challenger and drove through the town's neighborhoods, a collection of dusty windblown houses separated by dirt streets, complete with tumbleweeds on the move. We stopped at an old-style service garage, where Mark asked a crusty old man chewing a cigar if we could take a picture of the Challenger in front of his building. The man got out of his green Willys pick up and begrudgingly mumbled consent as he walked to the front door of the building, never taking his eyes off us. After watching us through the window for two minutes, he opened the door and yelled around the cigar "Awright, you godd–n camera pimps, that's enough–get going!" He shut the door and watched us drive up the street, still grumbling from behind the glass.
On the edge of town was a building with a handful of parts cars out back, and we ducked in to ask if we could take a look at the Valiant and Duster we spotted from the road. He gave us permission, and struck up a short conversation about the cars, explaining that he was planning to fence them in because too many people passing through town sneak in at night and steal parts off of them.
"Then I have to shoot them," he said, turning and walking back into the building. Mark and I just stood there for a few seconds, not saying anything because we believed him. We took his parting comment for what it was and gingerly looked at the A-Bodies, left, collected the rest of our crew, and hit the road for Tonapah, Nevada, hoping to beat the forecast of snow through the mountains.
Over the next eight hours, the trans leak got steadily worse. We hit the mountains at the same time as the snow, and between the AWOL brakes, the headlights still wearing their "movie dirt" brown spray paint and no high beams, the trip through the near-blizzard conditions was an adventure in itself. We found out the next day that most of the roads over the mountains were closed by the storm.
Late in the evening we pulled into Tonapah, found a mom-n-pop diner and enjoyed a well-deserved supper. Will ate meat loaf.
Tonapah, Nevada, and the end
Kowalski's run ended before reaching The City By The Bay, coming to an abrupt halt courtesy of John Law and a pair of Caterpillars. Thirty years later: Saturday, 10:32 p.m., Tonopah, Nevada, less than 50 miles from the California border….
Our not-really-legal '70 Colorado license plate number OA-5599 went over the police-band airwaves as not registered. Headed up Tonapah's main drag with the California border within our grasp, a set of red and blues appeared behind us. Our train of vehicles pulled to the shoulder at the edge of town, and a second cruiser drove past and assumed a sentinel position just down the road. We don't think it's coincidence that the white car with out-of-state plates just happened to have a sheriff's car close behind as it left town, and we're reasonably sure the plates were run when the car was parked across the street during dinner.
Sheriff Pappy (that is his real name) told us we could either put it on the trailer or he'll start writing tickets. And he was pretty sure the sheriff in the next county would do the same. He didn't mention his deputy down the road. We got the message and made arrangements with a local to store our junkyard booty and loaded the white Dodge on the trailer for the rest of the trip. In the end, there was no girl on a motorcycle, no spectacular explosion, and no crowds of onlookers, but our adventure was over just as surely, leaving us as far from our goal as Kowalski was from his.
