I'm a blacksmith and a member of the American Bladesmith Society. I've been blacksmithing for about 12 years. When I started out, I learned by trial and error and by reading online community boards. A piece can take anywhere from a few hours to a few months to create, depending on the size of the blade or if there are any patterns involved. I'm passionate about blacksmithing because the process of creating is so intense. It's one of those things that when you do it, you know you're going to get burnt, you're going to get cut … but you enjoy every aspect because it's hard and it's another form of art.
In a lot of ways, I see the work I'm doing in IT the same kind of way – a lot of it isn't easy. I'm constantly finding solutions based on the problems people bring me. I try to make IT less scary and more understandable by finding solutions that make things as easy as possible, or by refining previous solutions even more. We're all in this together and by working as a team, we can get a lot more accomplished this way. At Sleep Number, I am the ServiceNow Administrator."Return to Profile Navigation

"I have been practicing meditation for almost 15 years, and I've made so many friends and connected communities in a meaningful way through meditation. When my wife and I moved to Minneapolis, we knew no one, so we started looking for ways to meet people. I was introduced to meditation when I lived in Kansas City, and since there wasn't an organized group in Minneapolis, we decided to form one. We wanted to do something worthwhile in our lives to help the communities around us find their inner peace. Not only has meditation helped me find the peace and calm I was looking for, it's also brought me fulfillment by sharing these techniques to help others find their own forms of peace and joy. To enable others to find that peace and joy, I now lead a Meditation Center in Columbia Heights as part of a Global Science of Spirituality organization.
Sleep Number has a wonderful culture and our goals are very similar – we are all making meaningful contributions to people's lives. Sleep Number makes a difference by giving people better sleep, while meditation enables people to find their own peace and joy in their lives. When you find peace, it really connects with your true self and empowers you to do something meaningful in your life. I think that's what empowers us as individuals. At Sleep Number, I am an Enterprise Application and Data Architect for the SleepIQ Product Team."Return to Profile Navigation

I'm Hawkeye Elvis, an unofficial personality for the University of Iowa. I have a passion for Iowa athletics. It was the school I fell in love with growing up in Ogden, Iowa, because of the Tigerhawk logo. What started as a Halloween costume my mom made for me 8 years ago has turned into something more than I could've ever imagined, and I'm grateful for how the university and Iowa fans have embraced it. I've had the opportunity to travel the country to cheer on Iowa's football and basketball teams. Over the years, I've been to more than 110 football games and eight seasons worth of basketball games. Also, I've been fortunate enough to make appearances at events to raise money for something I'm also extremely passionate about – the University of Iowa's Children's Hospital.
This passion I have for the Hawkeyes and Iowa's Children's Hospital is the same passion I have for what I do every day at Sleep Number. I enjoy negotiating and finalizing each of our store leases as we continue to spread our brand across the country. I work with some amazing teams and people at Sleep Number, and I'm lucky to be a part of a company that embraces and values both collaborative and individual work styles. Whether it be dressing up as Hawkeye Elvis and raising money for the University of Iowa's Children's Hospital or giving people throughout the country the opportunity to get the best sleep possible, I feel empowered to be me and deliver results for my function, as we work to improve lives. At Sleep Number, I'm the Director, Corporate Counsel Real Estate … but you'll always see a little bit of Hawkeye Elvis in me.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm a woodcarver. Because I work with wood, there is calmness in me as I touch, smell and feel the wood. That's what good design does—it evokes an emotional response. Design done right can soothe the soul, and bring peace and harmony.
I seek to bring together art, design and technology to do good. I want to design things that solve problems towards a harmonious and considerate world. Design is rooted in connections. I want to be a voice for people who don't have one. So, I founded a design studio to do just that. I want to bring the cost of information to nearly zero so everyone, everywhere can have access to information and knowledge. Information is the silver bullet! If I can use technology to make you pause, will you treat the next person you encounter with kindness? I know I have the courage to go through excitement, fear, frustration and feeling overwhelmed to do that. At Sleep Number, I am an enterprise architect—a strategic problem solver.Return to Profile Navigation

I begin every day with gratitude. This centers me. As I process the pain I feel for losing my husband, George, I'm able to find serenity in all the places where we enjoyed immense happiness. I'm grateful for the silence that enables me to hear the birds in the woods at our farm; for the clear blue sky over the vineyard; for the moment the burner fills our hot air balloon as we float higher in the sky; for our cozy bedroom at night with the stars shining with the wonderment of the future; and for every fishing trip, footstep through the woods and fantastic adventure we took together. We have always felt a deep spiritual connection with nature, and the discovery that comes from being curious. There's a whole life in the woods, and I love to be sitting in a tree in the middle of it as the dawn breaks and the forest comes to life. I believe it all translates back to human life. When we take time to explore things in our surroundings, including the people we interact with, we're able to celebrate differences and the various facets of our individuality.
My defining characteristic is courage and it shows up in all aspects of my life. Personally, it's about pushing the edge of whatever I'm discovering – whether I'm canvasing dozens of stores finding design and fashion trends … or scouring the woods with appreciation for the constant evolution and beauty of every phase.
At the core of my belief system I seek to build an authentic culture with a common purpose. Sleep can and will change the world by improving the quality of rest and evoking kindness. We have the ability to enable a kinder society through better sleep. The proudest thing I can do is cultivate an environment that assembles the right talent – people who have great hearts and combine their capabilities with their passion for making a difference. To me, this is incredibly rewarding, and it's one of the reasons why I wanted to become a CEO.
Sleeping well is all about the night and dreaming big is all about the day.Return to Profile Navigation

Post-traumatic stress disorder doesn't define me, but I struggle with it every day. Noises, changes, even walking out my front door, can create fear in me. Despite this, I push myself and choose to take on the opportunities presented to me.
Stepping outside of my comfort zone has taken me whitewater kayaking, bungee jumping and paragliding off the side of a mountain. It has enriched my life by playing the violin in a community orchestra, learning the drums at age forty, and taking golf lessons. I have seen gorgeous places, like Korea, Belize, Honduras and Indonesia. I have eaten both strange and wonderful foods all over the world, most recently traveling to Kentucky, just to eat at a specific restaurant.
I talk daily with Sleep Number customers who are often facing challenges and aren't sleeping well. I do my best to inspire them to also say 'yes' to something that can make their lives better. I know Sleep Number can change their lives — it has for me. At Sleep Number, I am an outbound sales professional in the Customer Sales Center – Direct.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm a filmmaker, photographer and storyteller. I recently graduated from the Academy of Art founded in San Francisco. I'm working on my first novel that takes place here in the 1920s. I visited once and fell in love with the city and the people. Immersing myself in the culture helps in the writing process. My goal is to communicate. Communication is important in everything you do. I hold its value very high. In my writing I tell stories and make people feel something. My camera is my window. Through experimental film, making commercials and product photography -- I find beauty in every day.
At Sleep Number, communication is essential. I'm working with customers who are looking for knowledge or answers about our products. So many of life's challenges can be reduced or resolved with proper communication. I'm always seeking to improve myself. The more you know, the better you become and are capable of tackling everything life throws your way. I'm a customer representative at the New Orleans Customer Relationship Center.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm passionate about a lot of things …music, sports cars, travel and running. But I'm passionate about people more than anything else. I'm inspired by people who make change and make things happen, both outside of their work life or as a part of it. My other inspiration comes from my kids who are 7 and 11 years old. Thinking back to when I was a kid, in comparison, their world is a lot different than mine was and they see things in a different way. They have great perspective. To them, I'm just Mom. But I'm not just a single mom; I'm training for my third marathon this fall, traveling to foreign countries, going to rock shows and continuing to grow in my career. The type of flexibility Sleep Number offers that really serves someone like me really well, so I can continue to pursue all my passions.
My role at Sleep Number is managing the demand planning team, which is a new function in the organization. Demand planning, as nerdy as it is, is totally in my wheelhouse. It's an interesting position because it's new, so I get to start from scratch and build something from the ground up and that's exciting. At Sleep Number, I'm the Sr. Manager of Demand Planning.Return to Profile Navigation

I found my passion for volunteer work back in junior high school, when my religion helped shape my beliefs and how I show up in this world. I began leading service trips across the country and eventually made a trip internationally in college. These crusades pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to see how others live their lives. I strive to discover how to support those who need an extra hand - leaving all judgements behind. Random acts of humanity inspire me to not only observe the good in this world, but to participate in it.
I love helping people find jobs and careers with purpose and value. And my hope is they can someday pay it forward to others. I listen closely for potential in people and what a candidate can bring to the table in the future. When someone believes in you and gives you encouragement, you can go so much further. It fills me with joy to employ others and see them experience self-actualization and enlightenment. I'm a talent acquisition partner at Sleep Number.Return to Profile Navigation

I was born and raised in South Carolina and I'm a diehard University of South Carolina Gamecocks fan. I love everything outdoors, especially yardwork, hunting, fishing and home improvement projects. I have a wife and two kids, and we live in a 30-year-old house, so a new home improvement project always gives me an excuse to buy a new tool. On Sundays, I help out with the audio/visual team at my church. My faith, my family and my career are my three main priorities in life. Because of my faith, I try to be the best I can be by raising my family …and because of my faith and family, I give my career 110 percent. My goal is to always embody the servant leadership model and treat people with utmost respect.
My entire 14-year professional career has been with Sleep Number. I started out as an engineer working second shift and have held many other roles. I love the people and the constant opportunities to make today a better day than yesterday. I believe the most important people in this company are those actually in the plants sewing, driving forklifts, packing boxes, assembling beds and loading trailers. I love being part of the team that delivers a product that improves lives every single night. The team members in the plants are who matter, and my job is to give them everything they need to be successful. At Sleep Number, I'm the Manufacturing Operations Director of the Irmo Sleep Number Plant.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm an observer of nature and get inspiration from looking at trees, birds, lakes, anything Mother Nature has to offer. I settle in and take a break from life and feel so much more refreshed after being outdoors. I also love to cook. Cooking to me is a science where there are endless options of tastes and recipes to explore and experiment with. The more I look, the more I find. I apply that to everything in my life. The information is out there for me to research and to educate myself. I know I can continually learn to do things better than I am doing them right now. I can be a better person for myself and for the people around me.
I'm a customer advocacy manager at Sleep Number, which means I work with issues at the highest point of escalation. I enjoy observing, looking for answers and finding solutions. When a customer contacts us, they want a solution and it's my job to take ownership. I remind myself to treat others the way I would want to be treated. A rule I apply at work and in everyday life.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm a family man – I have a 16-year-old daughter who is taking driver's education, I have a small garden that we grow a variety of things each year and since we relocated here from Texas, I grill a lot during the summer because my wife misses the barbecue. Music is also important to me. I've been playing guitar for 39 years and while I'm mostly a heavy metal guy, I play for the enjoyment, creativity and skill of playing guitar. I've even started teaching my daughter how to play bass guitar.
I've been with Sleep Number for 17 years and I started off managing a store in Austin, Tex. Since then, I've worked in a variety of roles for the company. The relationships I've made throughout the years are long lasting, and some of my best times have been when I see customers pleased. In the back of my mind, I remember my experiences when I was selling beds. Because of that, I always have the heart of our customer-facing team members and our customers in the things I do. We have so many people who are experts here, but since I've been with the company for so long, I've become an expert in Sleep Number. At Sleep Number, I'm the Sr. Manager of Loyalty Operations.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm a huge supporter of startups and an angel investor – helping local food and beverage companies get started. It began with a strong connection to Fulton Brewing Company. I was an original investor in the brewery, a mentor and continue to serve on their board. Then, my day job moved me to London and I wanted to learn more about beer while living abroad. That led me to pursue becoming a certified beer sommelier from The Beer Academy of London. After many classroom sessions and tasting more than a hundred different beers, I passed the final exam. One perk, classes were usually above a pub, plus I got to meet some really cool people.
Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to support different businesses in impactful ways. I'm trying to replicate my experience with Fulton with other startups to help these companies grow and be successful. Supporting startups, not only through fundraising but through mentoring, is a huge passion of mine and a way to give back to the community. The Sleep Number values and our mission align well with my experiences with startups and in human resources. At Sleep Number, I am the Sr. Total Rewards Director.Return to Profile Navigation

One of the things that has been with me my entire life is a curiosity and an interest to learn. Yoga has been part of my life for many years, but last summer became even more important. I enrolled in 200+ hour yoga teacher training program to go deeper into the practice, learn more about myself and focus on my well-being. The training was an intense experience – it pushed me to my edge – but I'm stronger than I've ever been because of it. One of my goals is to challenge body stereotypes by rocking the mat and encouraging others to do the same. I believe that everybody can benefit from yoga.
The idea of continuing to learn, grow, develop, explore and play is so important as you get older. I'm passionate about yoga, but I'm also extremely passionate about photography. For me, they both tap into my creativity and feed my soul in different ways. Like my hobbies, I feel I get to be passionate about different things at Sleep Number. I hope that as I continue to learn new things, I keep both yoga and photography with me for the rest of my life. They keep my heart open and allow my spirit to stay curious, playful and centered. They're my zen in the city. At Sleep Number, I am the Senior Program Manager for Recruitment Marketing.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm a wildlife photographer and vintage camera collector. I have an artistic passion, and a passion for the outdoors. My cameras are a collection of happy moments. Because that's what cameras do, take photos of happy moments. I have traveled the world, but now live in two places with my hubby and poodles. Home is the northern woods of Minnesota and by the lakes of Minneapolis. We are constantly on the go and inspired by the change in scenery.
In elementary school, I aspired to be a fashion designer and archeologist (still want to be an archeologist). The creative spark, curiosity and weird combination of opposites have continued throughout my life with a passion for new ideas. The wonderful thing about my job is being able to apply fresh ideas to move the brand forward and continue to evolve for the well-being of our team and the customer. I am lucky to be a part of the culture at Sleep Number that values innovation. The fact that I get to design and be creative is a huge outlet, then I don't have to keep remodeling my own home. At Sleep Number, I lead the Brand Experience.Return to Profile Navigation

My family and I love nature – so to soak in all its beauty; we make at least two or three canoe camping trips up to the Boundary Waters each year. We also hike, take long bike rides and ski. Nature inspires me to write poetry. I just write whatever comes to my mind about my experiences in nature, one of the ways to set it in memory. Even though I'm not a published poet, I made a book with all my free-verse poetry called 'Nature Speaks.' We live in this beautiful state of Minnesota that has four distinct seasons and each one of them has their own joys to give. That's what inspires me to write.
While I'm passionate about nature, I'm also passionate about the conservation of nature. Conservation all starts with the person and because of that, our house is solar-powered via a Community Solar Garden. We no longer use straws and other plastic products …and when I grocery shop, I use reusable bags. For the last eight years, I've also called Sleep Number my home. The people I work with are my favorite part about working here because of how much we work as a team, doing whatever we can to help each other out. At Sleep Number, I'm an IT Sr. Business Analyst.Return to Profile Navigation

The first thing people notice is that I'm not from here. I grew up on a rural farm in the middle of England. The area was the cradle of the Industrial Revolution so, on school trips, we always saw artifacts from that time period and I think that inspired me to be curious about how things work. As a designer, you're constantly thinking about how context is influencing what we design and how it will be perceived. The challenge for a designer is to make it say something you want it to say in a way that also makes it more intuitive to use.
The idea of a bed being a product you a have a very intimate relationship with and it being something that could actually have an impact on someone's life is very profound. I've been at Sleep Number for two years and the thing I love about this company is we don't really talk about beds as artifacts, we talk about them as a vehicle for you to have a great day tomorrow. This isn't mattress design, you're designing sleep. Some of the most rewarding days are the days I get to collaborate and work with the people here – the days where we get to build on something and make it better to help people get a great night's sleep. At Sleep Number, I am the Industrial Design Director.Return to Profile Navigation

My family and I golf a lot and we enjoy being outdoors regularly. I grew up playing golf, and even now, it's a date night opportunity, an outing for the whole family and a chance to get together with great friends we've made. My favorite part is the competition with yourself. It gives you the ability to receive instant gratification – if you have a good swing, you can feel it … if you shank it, you know right away. I have two boys, ages 9 and 11, and golf has also been a way for them to meet new friends. Some people go to the cabin on weekends, but we go to the golf course for the weekend.
I've been with Sleep Number for 11 years, and I think I've had eight different roles. I currently oversee reverse logistics, which was a department that didn't exist prior to two years ago. We work with a variety of team members and sites to ensure we get our returned items back in a timely fashion. What I like most about working at Sleep Number is definitely the people. I've made friends and maintained those friendships I made in my different roles. Having a solid community within Sleep Number is something that keeps me coming into the office in the morning. At Sleep Number, I'm the Sr. Reverse Logistics Manager.Return to Profile Navigation

Family and my heritage are very important to me. I'm 100% Mexican – both of my parents were born in Mexico. English is my second language and Spanish is my first. Two weeks after I started at Sleep Number, my youngest son, Santi, who was three and a half, was diagnosed with leukemia. I love to travel, and we just got back from his wish trip at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. He's doing great; he wanted to see the biggest waterpark ever – the Atlantis Resort is a 141-acre waterpark– it was amazing.
Joining Sleep Number has been one of the absolute best things I've ever done. I've always felt the brand takes care of representing itself well. With Santi's diagnosis, I didn't start my tenure here the way I wanted, but leadership encouraged me to be with my son and family, taking care of them when they needed me. I have always been so thankful and grateful to the team for embracing that and being so supportive when I needed to be there for them. My oldest son, Tavi agrees it's the perfect place for me to work because I get to "sleep and read" – two of my favorite things! Sleep Number continues to evolve to be relevant to our customers. I truly believe sharing is caring - it's important that everyone be aware of the end goal we're all working towards. At Sleep Number, I'm the E-commerce Marketing Manager.Return to Profile Navigation

I've always had basset hounds in my life. My parents got a basset hound the year before I was born so my first memories are of the dog. Animal welfare is very important to me, so one of the ways I could give back was to volunteer and eventually help found the Minnesota Basset Rescue. I've had 15 foster dogs and I currently have two former foster dogs, Duncan and Gertie. Bassets are a very particular breed – they're very stubborn, not easy to train and there are a lot of things you have to be prepared for. They shed a lot, they drool, they stink and sometimes they wander off. You have to have a love of the breed to live with them. They're also incredibly sweet tempered, wonderful family dogs and they are very funny. It's so fulfilling to take these dogs, see them bloom and become dogs again.
In April, I will have been at Sleep Number for nine years. I came in working on the business side in sales operations and became a business analyst in the IT department. There isn't a normal day-to-day, especially because my focus is on paying our commissions correctly. I love that we have such an amazing product that changes people lives and that the company gives back to both the community and team members alike. Being able to get up in the morning and feel rested makes the rest of the stuff you go through that much easier. If you're going through things on a poor night sleep, it is ten times harder. At Sleep Number, I'm a Business Analyst.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm originally from India, but I came to the U.S. to do my master's in computer technology. Each year, I look forward to spring because I start working in my garden. My initial interest in farming came from going to my grandparent's house every summer. We would be assigned a plot of land to take care of and that's how we started cultivating my curiosity for farming. Now, I work with a church community garden and we partner with local food shelves. Last year, we grew around 23,000 pounds of fresh vegetables to donate. My oldest child is nine and she helps me in the garden – prepping the soil, planting, weeding and watering. She's a big help. One of my favorite things to grow is tomatoes because they are an integral part of Indian cooking, and cooking is another passion of mine.
I was raised with a firm belief in integrity and trust, which are important values at Sleep Number. I came to Sleep Number in 2011 and the thing I love most about working here is the technology. You won't see another company that can change your exceptional products design and keep evolving every year. I check my SleepIQ data every morning and I don't just see a Sleep IQ score, I see my heart rate and my breath rate. At Sleep Number, I am the Sr. Fusion Developer.Return to Profile Navigation

I'm currently training for a 26.2-mile inline skate marathon. It's the fifth time I've done this race, and even though I'm not training as well this year, I think I can finish in the top-10. The race runs the route of the Grandma's Marathon in Duluth, Minn., and it's the fourth largest inline skate race in the world. One day, I was just curious if there were any rollerblade races and came across this one. That's my hobby right now – it's a lot of fun.
I've been at Sleep Number since November and I'm in charge of supply chain data and analytics. One of the best things about working in analytics is making it easy for people to get at the information they need to make decisions. Making data easy is kinda what I'm good at. My goal is to try to bring a level of visibility to our data, so people spend their time analyzing trends and taking actions, instead of spending all their time running reports. Analytics is really about storytelling – it's using data as the plot of a story and then team members can come up with their own ideas on where to take the story next. It's also thinking about things differently and challenging the status quo a little bit. I feel like I'm actually making a difference here and that I'm not just another cog in the wheel. What I'm doing, people are using to help make real change and better decisions. At Sleep Number, I'm the Supply Chain Analytics Manager.Return to Profile Navigation

I have 15-year-old twins, a boy and a girl. They keep me very busy. I also have some very interesting and intense hobbies. I breed irises and daylilies. In the summer, in July especially, every day is like Christmas because I see new flowers bloom that I know no one in the world has seen but me. I also do fiber arts. I spin wool, then weave, knit or crochet with it. I raise sheep and Angora rabbits – my kids show the rabbits at the State Fair. I recently purchased a mansion in Taylors Falls. My dream is to have a bed and breakfast where I can bring people in for an immersion weekend so that they can learn everything about fiber arts, all the way from the animal to the finished good.
It doesn't matter where you go, it always comes back to the people and the relationships that I've made. At Sleep Number, there are great people working here and the team I work on is fabulous. I couldn't ask for better. I think I bring the passion for project management and towards helping teams be the best they can be, in both process and how they work together. There's something special about finding the motivation that each individual has; to be able to help them find that motivation to make change they need to make in order for the whole team to work better together.

I'm a United States Marine Corps Combat Veteran. I joined the Marines because I wanted to do something after September 11, and I was a young single guy who could make sacrifices. At the time, I didn't realize all that I would experience and see, but I'm glad I made the choice. It's incredible to be a part of something bigger than yourself. I invaded Iraq in March 2003 and traveled the world through my deployments to places like Japan, Ukraine and Israel. While my fellow Marines came from all different walks of life and backgrounds, we were a team and stuck together.
I am inspired by teamwork. I love to refer to former NBA Coach Phil Jackson's quote when we are problem-solving at work: 'The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.' I appreciate the diverse individual perspectives and experiences we each bring as we work together to improve lives at Sleep Number … all while having the freedom to experiment and try ideas out. I've been empowered to improve, accept new responsibilities, and inspire others to do the same. I'm a Production Manager at the Salt Lake City Sleep Number Plant.Return to Profile Navigation

Family means the world to me. I am an identical twin and I have a little brother. I am the older of my twin by 10 minutes, but we are extremely close. She's my best friend and has two beautiful children. We see each other every weekend and I love spending time with my niece and nephew. My sister and I are very passionate about working with youth to find a way to relate to them and help create opportunities for them to get the recognition they deserve. We developed a youth group at church for any kids and teens in our community to discuss what they experience at home, school and what's difficult or challenging for them in society. We're trying to make an impact on as many lives as possible. One of our goals is to help create other opportunities and challenge them to try and open that door themselves, and not wait for others to do it for them.
My Mom always taught me to be myself and to not be afraid to speak up, so another inspiration for me is being a strong woman and a leader. People tell me all the time that my laugh is contagious, and I want it to infect as many people as possible. I try to make an impact on someone's life daily, even if it's just a smile or telling someone good morning because you never know what other people are going through. Sleep Number provides a product that literally changes lives and I can tell the company takes the same amount of time and effort in valuing their team members. I've never felt more valued or more appreciated at any job than I do here. At Sleep Number, I'm the Customer Relationship Center Team Supervisor at the New Orleans CRC.Return to Profile Navigation

I have a lot of stuff that I do outside of work … I'm a woodworker and a ham radio operator. I had to take a test with the FCC to get a radio license and what's cool is I can talk to people around the world with this certification, like the time I bounced my signal off of a satellite and talked to someone in Greenland. Of all my hobbies, I'm most passionate about racing. My family and I race down forest roads with built-out rally cars as fast as possible. It's the coolest sport because not only are you fighting against the clock, but you're also fighting against the elements – we'll race on ice, snow, gravel, mud, asphalt …and that can all be in one race. These cars can take roads at 100 mph when racing that I wouldn't take in my truck at 30 mph.
My team is one of the smallest teams in the relationship center. We're nine strong and work with the NFL players with their new orders to ensure everything gets set up correctly. We follow along closely, from the day the order is placed all the way until 35 days after delivery. I've been here for two years now. Everyday is different, which is awesome.

Being a cancer survivor has helped me set out to embrace this life I have because you don't know how long your life will be, so live it now and get the most out of it. I'm an advocate for organ donation. My first husband passed away suddenly and since it was so sudden, he was able to be an organ donor and save lives. Organ donation gives someone a second chance at life. I've been a resource for other families who have had to make that tough decision by volunteering for various local and national organizations. That's been a huge passion, which also aligns with why I think my work here is important because it's about improving lives – quality sleep is so necessary for us to be able to get the most out of this life we have.
My tastes are kind of eclectic – I love classical music, silent films, traveling and photography. I traveled to Brazil and Portugal this year. It's so important in our everyday lives to look at things as a traveler. That perspective of seeing the world and seeing new things is so worthwhile for anybody to experience just because it cracks you open wider. I've been at Sleep Number since 2009, and throughout my career, I've written about things I'm passionate about. That's why writing about sleep has been very rewarding for me. I think making a connection with people is one of my skills as a writer because it helps me paint a picture with words for people who might be experiencing the same things.

I'm a gardener and enjoy being with nature. I love the process of planting something, watching nature take over… and with a bit of encouragement from me, eventually growing into something fruitful. It's also why I enjoy experiencing the personal growth of our people at Sleep Number. I find it so rewarding to help team members plant seeds, be there for them when they need it and watch them grow and improve in their lives and careers.
I'm on the team in Salt Lake City, so the lean processes we've implemented are empowering because they give all of us a vested interest in the outcome. Using a few tools, we're able to equip team members to solve problems hands on, so they can be part of the solution.

In February of 2011, I almost died. I had a series of strokes while driving in the car, with my kids in the backseat, and that changed me. It a was defining moment in my life and now I don't take anything for granted. I don't have many lingering effects from the accident, but I feel like there's Amy before the stroke and Amy after the stroke. As part of my recovery, I started wondering where my food comes from and who grows it, and I decided to become my own farmer. My family grows your standard Minnesota garden items – tomatoes, zucchini, peas, carrots, cabbage, strawberries blueberries and raspberries. We also have a flock of chickens.
I'm most passionate about my family. Everything I do ties into them. My husband and I have three kids, a 15-year old daughter, and two sons who are nine and eight. We think of ourselves as a little team and we try to make everything better – every place we go, we just try to make it a little better. The kids also help out with the farm and they love it. I've been at Sleep Number for 16 years and I've sort of grown up here. Every day is an adventure and every day is a new opportunity to improve something. I also like the people and the culture here at Sleep Number. There's a lot of teamwork and even while we're all working hard, we genuinely care about each other.

A 2017 US Energy Information Administration webpage (click here) indicates that the US production of ethane is expected to be approximately 1.7 million barrels per day (m b/d) by the end of 2018. However, the ethane US domestic consumption is expected to be approximately 1.4 m b/d, leaving a 300,000 b/d surplus of ethane.
The same webpage shows an increase in ethane production of approximately 80% (from 1.0 m b/d to 1.8 m b/d) during the period 2013 to 2018. This production increase surge has been driven by lower US prices for ethane (due to fracking and other technical developments associated with shale gas availability). The lower ethane prices have greatly increased ethane demand for producing ethylene.
The ethane supply – demand balance seems to be working well over the last several years in maintaining current low prices of ethane compared to its price in other countries. But, as demand is increased due to new US ethylene-producing plants coming on line and other countries seeking imports of US ethane because of its lower price, can ethane production maintain sufficient supply to exceed the demand and keep ethane prices low? Huge investments have been made based on continued excess ethane supplies and low prices for ethane. At what point would ethane prices have to rise to make these investments a lot less attractive? A ICIS article has a discussion related to this question (click here).

As the bride and groom, what you say in front of the camera is not the only thing you need to consider. Clear sound clips, footage shot in a well-lit area, congratulatory messages from happy relatives and friends are other elements that make a great video even better. Incorporate the tips below to get a video you'll surely love!
A beautifully-captured wedding video will still be lacking if it does not have excellent sound quality to match the crisp images. So, while it is important that you have a microphone each or, better yet, have Lavalier microphone attached to your clothes, there ought to be at least one microphone for the guests, another one to record ambient sounds and finally one for the speakers and soloists. Having all these specially-adjusted microphones ensures that sound recordings are loud enough with minimal background interference.
During the ceremony, try exchanging glances or holding each other's hand instead of simply staring at your solemnizer, this will make your wedding footage more varied and interesting. Just by observing your body language and gaze, your guests will be able to see how much you two love each another, even though you didn't say it explicitly. You can even consider arranging the altar in such a way that both of you are facing one another during the ceremony instead of the two of you facing your solemnizer. Being able to gaze into each other's eyes helps get you in the right romantic mood.
Adding heartfelt well-wishes from your family and friends will make your wedding video more meaningful. However, to avoid recording clichéd congratulatory statements, try to inform them before the actual day so they will have time to reflect and craft an appropriate message. On the actual day itself, have your emcee make a brief announcement to remind your family and friends that they will be filmed shortly. This will give them enough time to be mentally prepared for the session.
Alternatively, you may want to have them record their congratulatory messages before or after the actual day. Such an arrangement may be more ideal because it allows your guests to feel more relaxed compared to having them rush a recording on the actual day. Plus, there will be plenty of time for a retake if they are not happy with their first take.
Although your videographer should be the one in-charge of the lighting, you can do your part to make sure that your chosen location is well-lit, hence you ought to consider planning these essential logistics with your videographer in advance. Your videographer will more than happily give you advice about any additional lights you need to install. Remember that outdoor venues are not the only places that may need extra lighting, some indoor locations may be poorly lit as well. Places that usually need additional lighting include chapels, temples and estate houses.
There are a lot of things to worry about on the actual day, but you shouldn't let them overwhelm you, because today should be about the two of you. So entrust any last minute worries to the bridal party or your wedding planner, after all, you have done everything possible to prepare for this moment. A delayed reception, the caterer failing to bring enough food, or even the wedding car running a flat tire are not as disastrous as you might think. However, focus on these setbacks and you will definitely regret not fully appreciating the many fleeting beautiful moments of your wedding. If you let it, those few minutes of setback will become what you remember about your wedding!
Many couples are too focused on memorizing their vows and forget that there are many other little things that can affect the quality of the video overall. By taking note of the five tips above, you ensure that you have a video that you can treasure forever.

An aspiring Queenstown homeowner has complained to a real estate authority after his dream home was snapped up within 24 hours of being listed - by an agent from the listing company.
Pete Deuart, a 38-year-old snow-maker, had hoped to secure the three-bedroom property in Kiely Lane for his growing family. Instead he is questioning the ethics of the property industry, and has laid a complaint with the Real Estate Agents Authority (REAA).
After a three-month search he spotted the house on Trade Me last month, listed at $385,000.
"There hasn't been a house like that probably for sale in Queenstown for about 10 years. When you're looking every day you know when something comes up like that," he said.
He immediately called listing agent Gavin Castles of Ray White, only to find the property was under contract to Wayne Cafe, another Ray White agent.
The day after Mr Castles secured the listing he took Ray White representatives, including Mr Cafe, through the property on a familiarisation visit, Mountain Scene reported. The property went on Ray White's website and Trade Me that afternoon. By noon the next day, Mr Cafe had conditionally bought it.
Mr Castles said he took Mr Cafe's $365,000 offer to the vendors, advising them to bump him up to the $385,000 asking price and sign, which they did.
Mr Deuart did not give up and though he had not been in the house he rang Mr Castles with a back-up offer of $390,000 and would have gone to $400,000.
"He [Mr Castles] said, 'You can't, the contract's done.' In the end, I forced him, I basically had to call him back and say, 'No I want to make an offer."'
But by the time his wife got to the office to make a written offer, the sale had gone unconditional. Mr Deuart later found the buyer was a Ray White agent.
Ngaire Vanderhoof of the REAA confirmed a complaint had been laid and said it was going through the disciplinary tribunal process.
Ray White chief executive Carey Smith said Mr Cafe had sold his own home six months earlier so there was "nothing untoward" about him being in the market for another.
"There is disclosure every agent needs to make ... and a form that must be completed, and [it was] completed."
Mr Cafe said he welcomed the REAA investigation.

We choose to focus on health because it is the key to living a successful, fulfilling life. And yet, the United States has been experiencing a health and obesity epidemic for decades. Currently, 7 out of 10 deaths in the U.S. are caused by chronic diseases which could have likely been avoided with relatively simple health and fitness habits.
Some reports have stated that this generation may actually have a lower life expectancy than their parents due to the health crisis. Additionally, we're passing these poor habits on to our children. Since 1980, childhood obesity rates have tripled. Obesity is the direct cause, but it's a result of a disregard for overall health practices.
What's the difference between HEALTH and OBESITY?
Health is how you feel. How happy you are. How confident you are. How fulfilled you are. How hard your heart has to work.
Obesity is the measurement of fat on your body.
Obesity is the result of a lack of healthy practices. By focusing on health and promoting a positive body image, The Spark Foundation helps teach you, and elementary students, how to feel like you're getting the most out of life. A decrease in obesity is simply a side effect.
Your heart rate is a measurement of how many times your heart is beating per minute. Checking your heart rate at rest, during exercise, or immediately after exercise can give you an idea of your overall health. Generally, the faster your heart rate slows after vigorous exercise, the healthier you are. Spark embraces the understanding that every body is different, which is why we use the heart rate as the standard of measurement in our running clubs. There are values to tracking obesity, but where health is concerned we like to set goals on a per body basis.
How does The Spark Foundation tackle the health crisis?
From the ground up.
Through community racing events that appeal to broad audiences and diverse levels of running experience. Through our outreach programming and collaborations with partner organizations. Through direct giving and grantmaking in support of health and fitness education in our schools.

If the word "bargain" sends shivers down your spine, it could be costing you more than you realise. The simple phrase "what's your best price?" can lead to significant discounts when it comes to everyday buys, so when it comes to buying a house, good negotiating skills could save you tens of thousands of dollars.
No-one wants to be a sucker. And no-one wants to waste time. So when it comes to negotiating, the key is to stay calm, be respectful, and keep your wits about you.
Buying a house is the biggest purchase you're ever likely to make. Here are our top negotiation tips to get the house you want for less.
Do your research, then do it again
It's impossible to know what a fair price is until you've done your market research. You can bet the vendor will have done theirs. Find out how much other homes are selling for in your area and compare features. Understand why the vendor is selling, how long the property has been on the market and get a building report done so that you can factor any repair costs into your offer. Once you've decided how much you're willing to pay, start by making an offer on a property that is slightly lower to leave room for negotiation. Of course, if it's a hot property with plenty of interested buyers, make your best offer and cross your fingers.
Get pre-approval
If you've got pre-approval from your lender for a home loan, your offer will be much more attractive to the vendor than an offer from an interested buyer who doesn't have pre-approval. Vendors want to deal with serious buyers who are ready to act. They don't want to wait around on paperwork that could've been done before the offer was made, or risk losing a pre-approved buyer if the other loan doesn't get approved. If it comes down to you and someone else with pre-approval, even if your offer is slightly higher the vendor may just do the deal with them instead.
Stay calm
You love this property. It's your dream home. You want to scream from the rooftop "this is the one!" But save your emotions for the car ride home or when you're out of earshot from the agent or vendor. If they know how much you love the property, they'll be less likely to come down in price and assume you'll be willing to pay more. Of course there is no point in underplaying things either, as you could risk appearing like you're not that interested and therefore not worth negotiating with at all. Show your interest, but keep your cool.
Be prepared to let it go
Forget about who you are buying the property from and how they're playing the game. Once it's yours, you'll never have to see them again. Be a respectful negotiator, and if the vendor simply won't come down to a price you believe is fair, is stringing things along, or is getting nasty, be willing to let the property go and look for another one. There is every chance they may come back to you with a deal, but don't rely on it.

This dildo is so thick that is great if you want something about four fingers. It has vixskin's duel density that gives it just enough give that it feels full while not feeling like a an unmoving stone or metal dildo.
Maverick is a great dildo!! Maverick is girthy with the right amount of length and its squishy yet firm. Oh, another plus is that it has a strong suction cup on the bottom!! I recommend using a good amount of water based lube with this dildo!
If you're seeking a dildo with plenty of girth, generous length, and a life-like feel, look no further. This dildo is awesome! The squishy outer layer of VixSkin makes this beefy dil easier to take than other dildos made of a single high-density silicone. It's a good choice if you're looking to go up in size from your last toy and want a forgiving material to get started with. You may need to warm up before insertion - but it's worth it!
Rodeo Rick is a great choice for people who want a dil that's thick, yet soft on the outside. Firm enough to graze past the g-spot nicely, and not super rigid either. Use lube!
I absolutely love the Rodeo Rick! The girth is impressively filling, but the soft outer layer of silicone can make it more manageable than it's firmer counterparts. The blunt head might be difficult to insert for people not used to toys with this much girth, but it stimulates the g-spot and prostate with broad intense sensation unlike anything else. Vixen's Vixskin material is the most realistic I've ever seen, which makes this toy perfect for people looking for something representational, and although it's a tight fit, it does fit inside of most harnesses.
I love the Rodeo Rick. It was my dream dick until I met the Outlaw. I love the squish that VixSkin provides and the control it maintains especially with big bellies. It is really easy to clean which is great and I now love it as a warm up dick especially without a harness. Overall, would definitely recommend.
I'm officially a hoarder of anything VixSkin, and I adore the Rodeo Rick as much as the Buck and Mustang dildos. I usually don't like the representational look, but the feel and shape of this dildo are worth it. I find the Rodeo Rick is great for a lot of fullness. It's great for clenching around and rocking back and forth against the g-spot. I also like that it has a little more length and girth than the Buck (my all time favorite dildo), which is great for folks who don't want to lose too much length in a harness. Basically, when I'm feeling "hungry" this is my go to dildo. Great for g-spot orgasms.
This thick cock takes me everywhere I want to go. The dual density vixskin provides the perfect combination of firmness with squish that such a large cock needs. The design is great because with the head there is just enough ribbing to give added texture without being overwhelming and curves into the g-spot in the most pleasurable way. Usually I use it with my Bella harness for the best support. Perfect for the size queen in everyone- This is true love in silicone.
When I first brought home the rodeo rick I was intimidated by the size. I actually didn't even take it out of the packaging for a couple of weeks. Once I was took the chance to give it a try, I was seriously amazed. For one thing, the girth is unlike anything I have felt on my gspot. i don't always like direct pressure on my gspot. I mostly prefer a sense of fullness and this girth is just right when the mood is right. Like other reviewers on here. I am addictied to the Vixskin Dual-Density dicks. I don't like my cervix bumped against with hard materials, so the soft head on these dils are perfect for me. It's nice and long giving my partner a lot of reach. I haven't strapped this on myself, but my partner tells me the weight of the silicone isn't hard to handle and she really likes the length, because it gives her a lot of reach when we are using sex pillows. Definately a great addition to any dick collection.
This dil is AMAZING. This is the dil I own that really feels like my cock - the realistic look and the VikSkin material are amazing. My girlfriend is somewhat of a size queen so this is perfect for her. I love the way I look when I'm strapped on with this. It's girthiness is great, the head is nice and cushiony so you can really pound away. LOVE IT!

Well friend, the people of the internet are about to blow your mind. These 10 life hacks are sure to make you smack your forehead and scream "why didn't I know this before!?" For example, did you know that if you want to make a bbq and forget your lighting fluid you can use a handful of potato chips instead? Chips have quite a bit of fat in them, making them very flammable. Or did you ever struggle trying to cut open a kiwi? You probably used a knife wasting much of the food, but the best way to do it is by simply using a spoon!
Watch these and many more awesome tricks in the following video. And make sure you watch to the very end to see the plastic bag hack!

In 2006, the Ohio Department of Development sought proposals for the first $60 million round of awards and received 63 applications. The Dublin West Innovation District Job Ready Site, located in the City of Dublin, was selected as a first funding round awardee and received an Ohio Job Ready Site grant in the amount of $1,965,340.
Dublin is located northwest of downtown Columbus along Interstate 270 and U.S. Route 33. Positioned along several highways with direct regional access and with a highly educated workforce, Dublin has become home to more than 3,000 companies in key industries including R&D, IT, professional services, and corporate headquarters. Dublin's population is more than 40,000, and its location and transportation access allows its employers to draw from a broad labor pool.
The nearly 200-acre Dublin West Innovation District Job Ready Site is located in the western edge of Dublin in the 1,100-acre West Innovation District. The West Innovation District is the city's business area targeted for new development of high-tech office space, clean manufacturing facilities, and related supporting purposes. This area will be home to the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Central Ohio campus. In addition, the Nestle Quality Assurance Center, the global brand's largest U.S. quality laboratory, is also located in the West Innovation District, adjacent to Dublin's Job Ready Site.
Current road infrastructure needed improvement to accommodate the increase of commercial activity expected as a result of the development. State Route 161 was in need of widening, and the U.S. Route 33 and State Route 161 interchange needed modification and improvement. These improvements combined with significant infrastructure investments were necessary to accommodate the strategic development of the area.
The $1,965,340 Job Ready Site grant allowed the City of Dublin to make significant improvements to the Dublin West Innovation District Job Ready Site, which now includes nearly 200 acres of city-owned property. Surrounding the site, roadways were relocated to provide better traffic access and circulation throughout the site and the West Innovation District. The site's utilities including water, sewer, and natural gas lines were extended or relocated through the West Innovation District and sites.


text: Touring Zurich with the charismatic Argentina-born designer Alfredo Häberli was, reports Berkeley-based writer Andy Isaacson, like witnessing the city through the eye of a Latin aesthete: "Häberli described many things in terms of sexiness. The design of Zurich's benches, he'd say, wasn't that sexy. The Swiss tendency for overplanning also wasn't sexy. A long commute to work? Not sexy. I've never heard someone qualify a commute by it's sex appeal."

Energy Drink Ratings Explained
Buzz Bites Mint Chocolate Energy Chews:
In my last post I talked about taking a short break from reviewing Energy Drinks to review the new Buzz Bites Chews. My last review was on the Chocolate Buzz bites, and I was pretty impressed. So, I thought I would go ahead and inhale some more caffeine, just for you readers, and try out the Mint Chocolate flavor from Buzz Bites. I mean, what's another 100 milligrams of caffeine for the day right.... These chews cost $3.00 so each piece costs $0.50, which is not too bad for the energy you get for them. Onto the review of the Buzz Bites Mint Chocolate Chews.

Buzz Bites Mint Chocolate Energy Chews: Taste
Alright, I liked the plain Chocolate flavor from my prior review of the chews, but as I mentioned I am not a huge fan of chocolate, so I was really looking forward to trying the Mint Chocolate Chew. Turns out it tastes fairly similar to an Andes Mint. If you have not had one of them all I can say is that the addition of the mint flavor is a definite plus as it masks any and all medicinal aftertaste from the energy ingredients. Nice improvement! Taste Rating - 8.9
Buzz Bites Mint Chocolate Energy Chews: Kick
Alright, they improved the taste quite a bit. However, the energy and kick from this chew is the same as the last one I tried. Which by the way is nothing to shy away from as each individual chew has 100 milligrams of caffeine, which is actually 25% more caffeine than what's in a Red Bull. Along with the caffeine comes ginseng, taurine and b-vitamins. The best part is that the chew will only set you back $0.50! As I also mentioned in my prior review of Buzz Bites, I am somewhat of a energy junky so I had two of these and the kick was phenomenal, especially for $1.00! Kick Rating - 8.5
Buzz Bites Mint Chocolate Energy Chews: Final Judgment
Well I reviewed both flavors and the mint chocolate flavor is my favorite. I also like the compact design of the tin, the price tag and the energy ingredients from these little chews. I recommend trying one of these out... I mean each tin will give you 600 milligrams of caffeine plus all the other energy ingredients (just don't eat them all at once), not bad at all for the price. Final Judgment - 9.0 (extra points for price!)

Common Energy Storage Applications
With self-consumption, you store your excess solar power to use later.
Time of Use Optimization
Time of use optimization refers to drawing energy from the grid when energy prices are at their lowest, such as late at night. The lower cost energy is stored for use later by the utility when power is more expensive.
Battery Backup
Battery backup energy storage is a method one would use to store power to use during a power outage.
The modular Enphase IQ Battery can be expanded to up to 14 batteries per 20A single-phase branch.
AC Coupled vs. DC Coupled Energy Storage System
Energy storage systems come in two varieties:
AC-coupled or DC-coupled.
AC-coupled systems connect to a solar array on the AC side, while DC-coupled systems connect on the DC side. The most obvious advantage of DC-coupled systems is that they allow both the solar array and battery to be served by a single inverter. AC-coupled systems offer equivalent efficiency to DC-coupled systems with advantages in flexibility, reliability, and safety. The Enphase IQ battery is an example of an AC-coupled system, while LG Chem RESU StorEdge is an example of a DC-coupled system.
AC-coupled system advantages
• Minimizes high-voltage DC indoors
DC-coupled system advantages
• One inverter handles all conversion for PV and batteries.
Commonly Used Energy Storage Terms
For many, the goal of energy storage is to use power when demand is high and price is low.
Demand charges are the charges that commercial customers pay for the peak amount of power (load) that they draw from the grid. Demand charges can be a substantial portion of a utility bill; a battery helps lower them by allowing the commercial building to draw from the battery instead of the grid during peak times.
Demand response programs compensate utility customers for reducing their electricity use (load) at the request of the utility.
Frequency regulation happens when the utility calls upon batteries to inject power into the grid or take power off the grid to help the grid maintain a stable frequency. Battery owners are compensated for this service.
Lithium ion is a commonly used term to describe any type of lithium-based rechargeable battery. The name refers to lithium ions that are shuttled between cathode and anode when the battery is charged and discharged.
Load shifting is the process of shifting the time when energy is used. For example, running the dishwasher at night to take advantage of off-peak energy prices.
Peak shaving is the process of reducing peak power usage.
