PHOENIX, AZ, December 29, 2010 (Press-News.org) Uniquegiftsanddecor.com announced that its first holiday selling season was very successful and increased its online presence as a destination site for truly unusual and special gifts and home decor products.
Don Oppenheim, vice president stated: "For a site that just went live in mid October of 2010, we did extremely well. Above all we met our goal of excelling at customer service."
Unique Gifts and Decor was established to provide consumers with a one-stop place for finding gifts and home decor items that are not easily found.
"My son and I both like things that are out of the mainstream," Oppenheim said. "When we googled "unique gifts," "unusual gifts" or similar phrases we found that a lot of places popped up that carried the same things that you could find anywhere."
The site carries over 1100 products ranging from home accents of many different types to antique phones.
"A lot of what we sell is unique because of styling," Oppenheim continued. "Many of our products are designed by noted artists and have Egyptian, Victorian, African, medieval or gothic influences that set them apart. Others are unique just by definition such as our gargoyle statues. Still others are unique because they are rare such as our antique telephones and brass bookends."
For the coming year the company plans on expanding its product lines and increasing its web presence.
Unique Gifts and Decor, Inc. specializes in the sale of unique and hard to find items for home decor, garden, outdoors and gifts through its website at http://www.uniquegiftsanddecor.com.

Texas A&M research shows bacteria provide example of one of nature's first immune systems
2010-12-28
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, Dec. 23, 2010—Studying how bacteria incorporate foreign DNA from invading viruses into their own regulatory processes, Thomas Wood, professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, is uncovering the secrets of one of nature's most primitive immune systems.
His findings, which appear in "Nature Communications," a multidisciplinary publication dedicated to research in all areas of the biological, physical and chemical sciences, shed light on how bacteria have throughout the course of millions of years developed ...
New clues uncover how 'starvation hormone' works, investigators at UT Southwestern report
2010-12-28
DALLAS – Dec. 26, 2010 – New findings by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers may solve a 17-year-old mystery about how the so-called "starvation hormone" affects multiple biological systems, including preventing insulin sensitivity and promoting cell survival.
The results connect multiple observations about how the hormone adiponectin functions and eventually could lead to new treatments for conditions ranging from diabetes and weight loss to heart disease and cancer.
"Until now, there wasn't really an obvious connection between all these different phenomena," ...
Longevinex exerts greater influence over genes than resveratrol
2010-12-28
Las Vegas, NV (Dec. 24, 2010) - Three weeks of oral resveratrol or Longevinex® ingestion prior to an induced heart attack returned microRNA activity close to their pre-event levels in excised animal hearts. Among thousands of microRNA's studied, just six were attributed to exerting the majority of the gene-switching effects measured in the animal heart study — four microRNA optimally regulated by Longevinex® and two optimally by plain resveratrol.
A pre-conditioning effect with resveratrol and Longevinex® had already been demonstrated in prior studies where these small ...
Researchers: Pay more attention to epilepsy
2010-12-28
ST.

"We have almost nonexistent epilepsy surveillance, or ongoing collection of data on newly diagnosed epilepsy, in the United States," said Edwin Trevathan, MD, MPH, Dean of the St. Louis University School of Public Health in St. Louis and a member ...
Human protein improves muscle function of muscular dystrophy mice
2010-12-28
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A novel potential therapy based on a natural human protein significantly slows muscle damage and improves function in mice who have the same genetic mutation as boys with the most common form of muscular dystrophy, according to a paper published online Dec. 27 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a fatal genetic mutation in about one of every 3,500 boys. They are unable to produce a protein called dystrophin that keeps muscles strong. By eight years of age, the boys begin to have trouble ...
Team overcomes major obstacles to cellulosic biofuel production
2010-12-28
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A newly engineered yeast strain can simultaneously consume two types of sugar from plants to produce ethanol, researchers report. The sugars are glucose, a six-carbon sugar that is relatively easy to ferment; and xylose, a five-carbon sugar that has been much more difficult to utilize in ethanol production. The new strain, made by combining, optimizing and adding to earlier advances, reduces or eliminates several major inefficiencies associated with current biofuel production methods.
The findings, from a collaborative led by researchers at the University ...
