15 Minute Prep Passover Meals
5 comments | Leave Comment
Enhance your Yom Tov meal without spending all day in the kitchen.
Passover is known to old-timers as a "Kitchen Yuntif," but that doesn't mean we must be chained to our stoves for a whole week. Slavery, my friends, is over — gone forever since the exodus! Our Festival of Freedom is no time to enslave ourselves, even if we're scheduled to serve up 10 banquets in eight days, not to mention K for P lunches and snacks.
I'm one of those rare birds who looks forward to Pesach, and I want you to anticipate it with joy too. And I mean it. These glorious recipes will help you cook food that everyone actually will want to eat, and none of them will prevent you from getting out of the kitchen to enjoy the holiday with your family. Even if you're known for patchke-ing in your neighborhood, you surely don't want every meal to involve a long, fussy prep — because there's more to Pesach than cooking.
And that's where I come in, 'cause I was born to cook quick. I've designed these easy, 15-minute prep entrees and sides just for you — and they're elegant enough to serve at a yuntif meal. Use these versatile recipes to round out your meals and keep them on hand for a quick Chol Hamoed lunch or dinner.
For your Seder, choose a main that is light and appetizing, such as my poached chicken or chicken meatball stew. Both are scrumptious and comply with the custom of not eating roasted meat at the Seder. If you want something more substantial, try my pomegranate braised brisket. Each of these recipes looks and tastes like you slaved over it all day, only you didn't. Slavery is so yesterday.

Okaloosa County school officials are identifying more measures that can be taken to improve safety.
Maintenance workers for the school district have begun to assess each building for security strengths and weaknesses at the request of the School Board.
Check out a slideshow of area maitenance workers assessing school buildings. >>
Board members voted last week to conduct the inspections. The action was taken at the same meeting in which they approved using emergency funding to help pay for resource officers to be placed in all schools in the wake of last month's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
A report on safety inspections is due Feb. 7.
"I'm just trying to see a way we can do safety in a smart way, rather than a knee-jerk reaction," board member Dewey Destin said. "I think the security barriers that we have at the schools are at least as important as someone with a gun."
Destin said school resource officers make sense through the rest of the school year, but wasn't convinced yet that the $3.5 million it would cost to keep them in place next year was the best use of limited funding.
School Board Chairman Rodney Walker said he also was well aware of the financial issues, and recognized that some difficult decisions lie ahead not just for the School Board, but for the Florida Legislature and the U.S. government.
"It's a mammoth, mammoth, tremendous project that needs to take place," Walker said. "We're trying to do as much as we can that's not tied to money."
Safety steps not tied to huge dollar signs were apparent by Thursday at schools such as Pryor Middle in Fort Walton Beach. Workers were installing a video camera outside the school even as others checked locks to classroom doors.
According to Principal Jeff Palmer, most of the safety reviews under way weren't new, but the sense of urgency was.
Since school resumed after Christmas break, Palmer said he's taken a little more time than usual to talk about security with staff and students. Overall, they've been more receptive than in the past, he added.
According to School Board member Melissa Thrush, those types of reactions are part of the reason to conduct the security assessments now.
"It's an opportunity we have right now to seize the heightened awareness in our community," she said. "I think it will be a process … But at the end we'll be able to have more of a consistent message. We'll be able to say to the public these are things we've reviewed."
When the safety report is presented to the board next month, the weaknesses likely won't be discussed in public for security reasons, but board members will consider them so a plan can be implemented before the next school year.

Current Planets
5-Jul-2015, 20:39 UT/GMT
|Explanations of the symbols
|Chart of the moment
General Tendencies
Everyday Life / Profession: This week brings a Capricorn Full Moon, which confirms the slower pace that already started last week. This Full Moon also indicates difficult interpersonal topics in connection with events in the past. At the start of the week, the Moon is still in Sagittarius. This nourishes hope and confidence, which also seems to be necessary now (since Sunday evening). Venus and Jupiter are entering the first of three connections and stand together with Uranus for "this good new thing" and the zest for life that you may need to regain in the near future. You experience the highs and lows in quite a pronounced way. So rebalancing yourself will be a challenge time and again. Partnership / Love: If things get difficult, you can hold onto love and see it as a source of joy - despite all of the problems! This is the big present that Venus and Jupiter would like to give you. It is actually enough to love yourself and love life (sign of Leo) in order for you to be happy. Unfortunately, you often do not feel complete without a partner and can apparently just gain love through a partner.
Everyday Life / Profession: The planets are now divided between the elements of fire and water. Too much fire dries up the water, and too much water extinguishes the fire. Make sure that everything has its place. Once again, it seems that family (water) and personal interests (fire) are opposed to and threaten each other. You can cope with this through balanced time management. Mars in Cancer indicates that you would like to be active in the family and domestic area. Venus and Jupiter reveal that you would therefore probably prefer to dispense with something that you can make up for later. There is definitely a reason for Venus returning to this position later. Simply be trusting! Try to do what is obvious and necessary first, postponing your big personal wishes until later. Partnership / Love: The Sun and Mars in Cancer indicate reserve, while Venus and Jupiter in Leo wish for the opposite. Water and fire: You need to find a happy medium, and this is not at all easy during this phase because you can never have both water and fire at the same time. A schedule for love would also be practical right now. Try to reserve this weekend for your love life – after all, it could work out.
Everyday Life / Profession: If you are asking other people for help, you must be prepared for rejection. The Full Moon indicates harshness, as does Saturn in Scorpio. If you offer your help to someone else, things could take a similar course. People experience and feel situations in very different ways, which may have led to misunderstandings (Mercury-Neptune) last week. The fronts have suddenly hardened. Mercury in Gemini shows that mediation is necessary. Someone with a neutral viewpoint (you?) will turn up and say the right words. Mercury - in cooperation with Uranus, Venus, and Jupiter - has the power of persuasion and manages to do what is sheerly impossible. Partnership / Love: If you now have a problem, this is probably because your expectations were too high once again. Then you should analyze your own ideas, even if you have the feeling that your partner's expectations are too high. Always start with yourself. Look for the "error" in your own system, and when you have found it: Do not be too strict with yourself!
Everyday Life / Profession: Mercury in Gemini has overcome the tension with Neptune and comes into a good connection with Jupiter, Venus, and Uranus. This means that words are once again worth a mint – and you feel responsible for speaking these words and creating or strengthening connections. Do it! This is probably the only thing that really helps. The Full Moon makes it clear to you how necessary an understanding is, how many emotions have accumulated once again in the shortest amount of time, and that this involves old themes that simply have not yet been resolved. But also pay attention to your own state of mind. Problems will not only be apparent in your fellow human beings but also affect you quite personally now. Mercury in Gemini may not want to perceive this but the Sun and Mars in Cancer know it all too well. Partnership / Love: On Sunday, it should have become clear to you that something is not yet completely in order. You may still be quite good in suppressing it at the beginning of this week during the Sagittarius Moon, but a tricky emotional situation will become unavoidable during the Full Moon. The Moon must wander past the implacable Pluto, as well as an equally implacable sign of Capricorn. Every power of persuasion is needed to defuse the situation.
Everyday Life / Profession: The Capricorn Full Moon indicates a basic topic of Cancer: becoming an adult. It is good for the Sun and Mars in Cancer to feel a sense of responsibility since this allows you to enter into the strength that you will need in the near future. After all, not doing anything does not mean that you can wash your hands of things – which you may now like to do when you feel overwhelmed. Mars in Cancer is a challenge to take action, but is it possible that you still need some time? You will make the decision on your own as soon as you sense that the right moment has come. Through its connections, Mercury shows that you can be trusting. Partnership / Love: The Full Moon creates a connection for you with your partner or another person who is important to you. It is good for you to initially take an observer role and then feel your way forward step by step. It may also be that you feel overwhelmed or taken by surprise during the Full Moon. See what happens. Try to stay calm and cool. You are now emotionally "charged."
Everyday Life / Profession: The constellations are so contradictory that you may go from one extreme to the other. For example, you would experience everything as great on Tuesday (Moon in Sagittarius) but fall into a hole or feel quite overwhelmed on Thursday (Moon in Capricorn). And because you do not like this, you may decide to only do what you feel like doing on the weekend (Moon in Aquarius). Venus and Jupiter have now met in the sign of Leo and are also in favor of you just doing what you like. This sounds good but is not reasonable in every case so that you must probably reckon with surprises time and again (Uranus) because you are obviously not the only person who decides what will be done. Partnership / Love: Venus and Jupiter in the sign of Leo indicate a large portion of self-love and self-confidence. Can you actually have this love for yourself? The Cancer Sun in connection with Neptune tells an entirely different story. Is it possible that you would stage an aggrandizing performance to convince the world around you of your awesomeness? How big is a partner allowed to be next to you? Is there even space for a partner at all?
Everyday Life / Profession: The Cancer Sun in connection with Neptune wishes that you speak in gentle tones and show empathy. If someone needs your help, this primarily involves encouraging and giving this individual hope - for which Mercury in connection with Venus and Jupiter find exactly the right words. Now it is time to do a bit of magic. You can perhaps even promise a bit too much to cheer someone up. Will the Capricorn Full Moon be able to agree with such little tricks? Pluto, which is actually responsible for transformation, is now in Capricorn. Put aside the old rules and be open to an experiment. Experience the effect that words can have! Partnership / Love: The Sun and Mars in Cancer show that things get more romantic in your love life. You allow yourself to dream once again. Do you idealize your partner and feel correspondingly in love? Or have you fallen in love with someone else and hope that your partner does not notice? With Neptune, you never know... Venus and Jupiter indicate very big feelings that may have to remain hidden.
Everyday Life / Profession: The Capricorn Full Moon now points to your difficult family topic. You cannot get rid of such a topic from one day to the next, and miracles are rare. At the same time, the constellations of this week actually indicate a miracle: Venus reaches Jupiter in the fiery sign of Leo, the Sun and Neptune are connected in the element of water, and the Full Moon can be seen as a turning point in the middle of the week. If there is a key experience, it will probably be related to love. Your heart suddenly opens up. It becomes gigantic and has space for everyone - even the "hard nuts." There is a soft core under the hard nutshell – you already know this but sometimes forget and need to remind yourself. Partnership / Love: The first of three Venus-Jupiter rendezvous now occur. The little happiness (Venus) and the big happiness (Jupiter) are united. So something must take a positive course. Sometimes this happiness has already long arrived but you could not see it yet because you had imagined it to be completely different. Then it is like a big surprise – although it could have been clear long before.
Everyday Life / Profession: Sometimes the most beautiful things are created from confusion and chaos. This could happen during this week when Venus reaches Jupiter and the Capricorn Full Moon connects what is hard (Capricorn) and what is soft (Cancer) with each other. Changes begin in your mind and your thoughts. Mercury in Gemini makes it easy to rethink things and shows that you cannot remain stuck to your ideas now. So an old problem can be solved and an old pain overcome and healed. Two more Venus-Jupiter connections will come in the next period of time. It is therefore a good moment to wish for something else for yourself. Changes begin in the mind… Partnership / Love: Whether the Venus-Jupiter connection can already be a highlight for your love life depends on your own personal constellations – and always also on your attitude. If you now just have a premonition of happiness and do not see anything concrete yet, you can place your hopes in the further Venus-Jupiter connections. This primarily applies to the last one in October, which occurs in the sign of Virgo. The important thing is that you now sense how something is moving forward without you having to control it.
Everyday Life / Profession: The very different energies (fire and water) now make life quite intense, providing great highs and deep lows. The Capricorn Full Moon indicates how you can deal with much water (feelings) and that it is useful at certain moments to allow yourself to be guided by your feeling. This can mean letting go of the things that you have clung to in the past. Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn have already long supported this letting go; there are moments in which it becomes concrete – just like now. Venus and Jupiter show a liberation and joy that you do not experience every day. There must now also be a reason for joy. Is this joy just in one specific area of life? If this is the case, could you carry this joy into other areas of life? Partnership / Love: If you strictly separate fire and water like two areas of life, you may perhaps end up with too much fire in one area and too much water in the other. After all, you could heat the water with the fire. Since water represents the feelings, is it certainly sensible to bring warmth into them. If you connect your love life with the fire (Venus-Jupiter in Leo), there is no way to exclude deep feelings anyhow. Or did you actually think so?
Everyday Life / Profession: The Capricorn Full Moon gets to the heart of your intense interpersonal experiences. You have probably been deeply touched by something but feel how vulnerable you become when you allow yourself to be touched in this way. Mercury in Gemini can be useful because it does not get too involved with things and does not become fixated on one thing or the other but maintains a neutral gaze. You can now be deeply touched in terms of your feelings but still keep your wits about you. This is important to you at the moment and helps you to focus on complicated matters. You do not lose control, and it is possible for you to master the situation. Can you imagine going even one step further in the end? Not during this week – there is a right time for everything. Partnership / Love: Your love life must now be even more intense than the rest of your encounters. The Capricorn Full Moon comes just at the right time so that you do not lose yourself in the life of your relationship. You need to reflect about yourself, your own needs, and your wishes. It is nice that your partner has wishes. That he or she wants something from you is also good. But this could sometimes become too much for you.
Everyday Life / Profession: The Sun and Mars in Cancer show the homework that you must complete or the people who you must take care of and look after. The Capricorn Full Moon is responsive to these activities and it seems that it wants to support your motivation: Yes, you now need to obediently take care of everything. If you feel like Cinderella, you can let your thoughts fly to Venus and Jupiter, to something royal to which you have been called… if you are diligent, you will be richly rewarded in the end. Dreaming is easy when the work is routine and the Sun and Neptune have a connection. Mercury in Gemini gets in contact with Venus and Jupiter – so you can come up with your very own modern fairytale. Your imagination blossoms. Partnership / Love: With Venus and Jupiter, your partner and relationship should now be extraordinary. You need and get a feeling of sublimity. Look at your personal relationship! In which way is it sublime and better than others? More interesting? More exciting? It is quite possible that you have a very subjective perspective. Your world is now like a dream, and you wear the rose-colored glasses in this dream.
Everyday Life / Profession: Your creative forces are now getting into gear - especially when you are artistically active. If you take care of other people, you do this with devotion and come up with something to encourage them. This also develops your acting talent! Life is a game for you now, and you like it this way. Even the Capricorn Full Moon appears to agree with this and promotes how you are. Is this week possibly just one huge gift? A gift to you so that you can develop in a wonderful way? A gift that you are making of yourself to your fellow human beings? You reap the fruits of your life up to now. You show what you have learned. Some people (once again?) think that you are an angel. Partnership / Love: Your love energy is newly awakened. You sense it in every cell of your body. This makes you happy and alive. You would like to pass on some of this happiness, which you automatically do through your charisma. Whether you have a partner or not: You are now a loving person, and therefore hearts are flying to you. People see what they want to see in you, as if you could fulfill every wish.

2/19/21 Miley's Tour Being Cancelled?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, February 19, 2014
Yesterday, we heard "sources" say that CHARLIE SHEEN will get a prenup before marrying porno minx BRETT ROSSI. But that's NOT the case. Charlie says, quote, "Prenups poison marriages." Charlie says they're going into it with this simple agreement . . . quote, "You keep your [crap] and I'll keep mine."
VH1 is developing an absurd reality show called "Naked Dating", which is exactly what it sounds like. Each episode has a man and a woman dating two different people . . . and they're all nude. There's no word on a host yet . . . and there's no premiere date either.
Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour has been a bit controversial and too raunchy for some people. Parents who have taken their children to see Miley aren't pleased at all and some are trying to have the tour cancelled. MusicFix reports that Miley's management team has been getting a ton of complaints saying that she has taken it too far in her performance. Her management team has all been called in for an emergency meeting because of the amount of people who want to pull she show. So far, Miley has been on stage in a revealing body suit covered in marijuana leaves, riding a hot dog, pretending to give oral sex to a man in a Bill Clinton mask, basically pleasuring herself on top of a car and of course, twerking.
2/18/14 Selena Gomez Boozing

Tuesday, February 18, 2014
MILEY CYRUS just added another nasty move to her arsenal. During her show in Tacoma, Washington on Sunday, someone threw a thong onstage. So Miley picked it up, wrapped it around her microphone and PUT IT IN HER MOUTH.
MARC ANTHONY isn't just friends with his ex-wife JENNIFER LOPEZ . . . he's also friends with her boyfriend CASPER SMART. On "The Wendy Williams Show" yesterday, Marc said, quote, "It's great. As a matter of fact, we were texting back and forth two days ago. We're actually really, really good friends. From the very beginning."
Charlie Sheen is about to be married for the fourth time -- and this time he will have a prenup. Charlie got engaged to porn star Brett Rossi in Hawaii over the weekend and he has an estimated net worth of $125 million and sources say he will definitely get a prenup before they walk down the aisle... just in case.
Lindsay Lohan has been keeping out of trouble -- but we can't say the same for her family. Michael Lohan's girlfriend is accusing Lindsay's dad of threatened her with a knife and trying to take away their infant son. Kate Major went on Twitter Monday night to blast the elder Lohan, writing that she had to lock herself and their one-year-old son Landon in a bedroom while Michael tried to break down the door. He claims Kate's been drinking and tried tried to kill herself over the weekend. He tells TMZ he's worried about the welfare of their child and says he'll attempt to get custody if she doesn't get help.
Has Selena Gomez fallen off the wagon? Just weeks after leaving rehab, Selena is reportedly "hitting the bottle hard." She posted a photo of herself drinking a cocktail and TMZ proclaimed that she has "proudly re-embraced alcohol." She reportedly checked into rehab last month to help her kick booze, pot and Ambien. She bailed two weeks into the 45-day program to go to the Sundance film festival and didn't return because she insisted she was cured.
2/17/14 Charlie Sheen Engaged

Monday, February 17, 2014
KANYE WEST surprised KIM KARDASHIAN with 1,000 red roses on Valentine's Day. She even posted a picture of herself surrounded by some of them. But if Kanye was trying to show off, he failed miserably. Because he got SERIOUSLY upstaged by JASON DERULO . . . who gave his girlfriend JORDIN SPARKS TEN TIMES AS MANY. Jason sent 10,000 roses to Jordin's suite at the Redbury Hotel in Hollywood on Friday.

MICHELLE DUGGAR from the TLC show "19 Kids and Counting" says one of the keys to a happy marriage is for the woman to be with her husband whenever HE wants it. Even if SHE doesn't. She says, quote, "You always need to be available when he calls.'"
COLIN FARRELL says it was "terrifying" to have sober sex after he cleaned up his act in 2005 . . . quote, "It was in the afternoon. The windows and the curtains were open. It was lovely, and to be crass, it wasn't [effing]. She was very gentle . . . I was just used to drunkenness and dark rooms and clubs and toilets and wherever."
Just because you know who SARAH SILVERMAN is . . . doesn't mean she's rich. She says, quote, "I've had a couple good runs here and there, but there's no consistent income . . . There's just such a misconception about me. I always say that I'm the poorest famous person in the world, non-scandal."
During an interview with MTV yesterday, MARIAH CAREY was talking about her dogs . . . whose names include: Muttley, Cha Cha, Squeaky Beans, Jilly Beans, Pippity and The Reverend Pow Jackson.
Reportedly, Kanye West is wearing a crown for his wedding in May and he wants fiancée Kim Kardashian do the same. Sources say Kim and Kanye will be in handcrafted headpieces he commissioned for them because he thinks he and Kim are royalty.

Forbes.com has just released their annual list of the Most Trustworthy Celebrities. TOM HANKS was #1, followed by CAROL BURNETT and MORGAN FREEMAN. No one in the Top 10 is younger than 50.
PAULA DEEN was ROCKED last June, after admitting to using the N-word . . . even though she INSISTED she's not racist. In the aftermath, she was dropped from the Food Network and lost a ton of endorsements. However, she's poised to make a comeback, because her company has just received a BIG investment, which is reportedly worth between $75 million and $100 million. There's no word what she has in the works, but it might involve a return to TV.
Julia Roberts' half-sister may have killed herself in a deliberate attempt to harm Julia's career and hurt her chances of winning an Oscar at this year's Academy Awards. The brother of Nancy Motes' fiancé (Connor Dilbeck) said 'We are talking about people who are powerful, people who are in the limelight. Their power can be destroyed very easily if unfortunate things make them look more wicked. They have to be careful. It can destroy their career or their Academy Award.' A source said, 'Julia tried in vain over the years, even in the last six months, to get Nancy to go to rehab. Nancy refused the offers and that is when she would often publicly lash out at Julia. It hurt Julia, but she knew her sister was battling addiction.' Connor Dilbeck said Julia inflicted 'pure cruelty' on her sister and Nancy's suicide letter was a desperate attempt to expose the alleged treatment. Conner claimed the note is eight pages long, not five, and Julia is said to be 'terrified' about it coming out.
OJ Simpson has apparently gone on a hunger strike in prison. He said, 'I used to live my way, and now I'm going to die my way.' OJ is serving out a kidnapping, assault and robbery sentence in a Nevada prison, but he is reportedly so depressed that he wants to 'just sit down in a corner and die'.

Most comfortable mattress

One less person to fight for the guest room!Read More
Excellent mattress/ Excellent Price
Great product! Easy to unwrap at it self-'inflates'. I bought it for a guest room, and my guest is duly impressed! it was probably half the price of a similar product from Costco.Read More
Great for a few months but does not hold up
I bought this mattress in October 2014 after reading all the wonderful reviews. It's now July 2015 (less than a year later) and the mattress has become very uncomfortable, with a deep dip in the middle, like I would expect from a 10-year-old mattress. I'm a single woman who weighs 140 lbs and sleeps alone. I will have to buy a new mattress (not one that comes rolled up in a tube). Do not buy this.Read More
Very comfortable
Very comfortable specially for those who have back painRead More
Nice for the price
Very comfortable. It took a couple of days to adjust to a memory foam bed but it is great now.Read More
Big People Read This
I am what I like to call "pleasantly plump," which really just means that I am very heavy. I was worried about buying a memory foam mattress because I was afraid that I would just sink down to the bottom of it and be sleeping on an inch of foam over my boxspring. I was also concerned that it would not be able to hold up as well as a traditional mattress. We had an old, but expensive, Sealy mattress, and it was killing my back and my knees. I had enough and decided to try this mattress in soft (even with my concerns, I did not want it too firm). What a difference!!!! I sleep better, and I don't have the back and knee pain that I used to have. Also, my concerns about the mattress not being strong enough to hold me was completely unfounded, as I have been sleeping on this thing for a month now, and I have never sunk down too far. I feel like I am sleeping on air. Also, as many have already said, it is soooo easy to get this up to your bedroom as it comes looking like a giant Tootsie Roll when you get it. I removed my old mattress, which was very difficult, and put this one on my bed, opened it, and removed the wrappings all by myself!!!. I am so happy that I got this mattress, and you will most likely be too if you decide to buy it.Read More
Comparision to Temer-Pedic
Having owned a (King size )temper-pedic mattress, for over 11 years. I was very happily surprised as to the excellent quality and comfort of this specific product. I would highly recommend it, to anybody that is interested in a mattress that , in my opinion, is as good as a Temper-Pedic.Read More
What a great buy!!!!
First off.. I am 29 years of age, 6'3 with an athletic build. I love this mattress (bought the medium firmness). I debated for about a month before I took the plunge and bought it. I tested a ton of these types of mattresses around town and didn't want to spend $2300 on one so decided to give Overstock a try. I read all the reviews and was very worried about clicking the confirm order button even though it got amazing reviews, but those few people who did not like it were sticking in the back of my mind. I have no clue what they were taking about... this mattress is very comfortable and you won't find anything cheaper. I also bought a memory foam topper just in case it was too firm, this mattress is comfortable enough to sleep on without it but I still use it anyway. I would suggest this mattress to anyone!!! Great buy!!!Read More
Sleep like a baby!
Having worked as a manager at a major national mattress store I know what to look for in a mattress. I was sold on the concept of memory foam a long time ago. So when our coil mattress started to not provide a good night's rest I decided to purchase a memory foam mattress from Overstock. I have always said quality is better than price, but having purchased a few larger items from Overstock I was willing to try a mattress. Keep in mind even the "soft" memory foam will not feel as soft initially as your typical pillow top or plush coil mattress. That is just the way memory foam works instead of pillowing you it cradles. We purchased the medium 11" memory foam mattress. We sleep wonderfully. We are both side sleepers but sometimes find ourselves sleeping on our backs with no discomfort and less flipping and flopping around. I recommend getting the mattress ready in the same room you are going to place it, air it out a bit, walk all over it to break it in (that's what we did in the stores!) and then go to bed. Overall = Great comfort, great price, fast delivery, great packaging and nice looking product!Read More
good purchase, so-so comfort
I give this item 4 stars for the price, fast shipping and great customer service but only a 3 star for comfort. I've had it now for about a month and sometimes its comfortable and sometimes i wake up stiffer than when i went to bed. Recently had back surgery and needed an update in the mattress department, i should of went with the "soft" mattress. I will be purchasing a mattress topper from the O to go on top of this, for a little cushion. If you like firmer mattresses then it's the one for you, but if not then def get the softer one or just buy a 2 inch mattress topper thru the O there a decent price, I getting mine for $****. Another good thing is if sharing this bed with someone there is barely any movement noticed or felt, it's like the tempur-pedic commercials where the girl is jumping on the bed with a glass of wine. If your anything like me i rely alot on customer reviews so I hope this has helped you out..Read More

I am very concerned about mattresses since I have back problems. I would like to buy a firm mattress but I am afraid if this one is not good how will I return such a bulky material. Can you please clear my concerns
Hello Nitin, before I ordered my memory foam from Overstock I went to the local mattress store and picked out what firmness level and the type of foam I liked. Then I found pretty much the same mattress on here for half the price. I would just do some research before you order. There mattresses are non returnable. Have a great day!
Will I need to get a box spring with this mattress?
Hello MKA1259, if you will be using a platform bed or slatted frame bed a box spring will not be needed. If using a regular bed, you will need a box spring. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us.

Hello sharyonus, this item will take approximately 72 hours of receipt to maximize expansion. Being sealed in plastic packaging sometimes traps odors. After unwrapping, allow product to air for a few hours. I hope this helps and thank you for shopping with us.
Two questions: 1) what thickness best for under 110 lb person; 2) I have a metal bed frame with a plywood surface - would this do?
Hello sallybee, I don't think the thickness would matter. It would just be a firmness preference that you would choose from the drop down tab. Yes this would work great on any platform surface. Have a great day!
What is the frame shown with this mattress? Who makes it and what's it called?
Hello JHogg11, unfortunately, we do not always have the other items pictured in our stock photos. We do not have any information on the frame in this photo, we apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for shopping with us!
How heavy is this mattress, and other typical memory foam mattresses?
Hello nkaczm2, this mattress weighs approximately 55 pounds. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us!
I was wondering what the comfort is for the soft option. I like plush mattresses and definitely am not a fan of firm but it seems as if the medium sleepers are saying medium firmness is too soft. Is the soft option going to sag or be uncomfortable?
Hello frl, we can appreciate the fact you want a firsthand account of the product. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response. Thank you for shopping with us.
Our soft mattress doesn't sag, and we even added a topper to ours and it is SO comfortable! Soft in a foam mattress isn't the same as soft in a "normal" mattress. Perhaps try a local store that has all 3 choices, just to see the difference for yourself...then come pay less here!! ;-)
Does this bed come with the box spring? Or would I have to purchase one as well?
Hello l.girr54, this item does not include a foundation as well. Depending with the frame this mattress is used with, a box spring may not be necessary. Thank you for shopping with us.
where is this manufactured?
Hello nagl, this is manufactured in the US. Thanks for shopping with us!
How large is the package this mattress arrives in?
Thank you for your question, KiraNoelle. The dimensions of the package of the Comfort Dreams Select-A-Firmness 11-inch Queen-size Memory Foam Mattress, is approximately 63 inches h x 18 inches w x 18 inches l. Have a great day.

With cash carriers dwindling and credit cards becoming the norm, this Slim Card Case is perfect for the contemporary man. Perfect for suits, tuxedos, or your favorite pair of jeans, it's the perfect accessory for a night out or a busy day. Handcrafted from leather with turned edge construction, our Slim Card Case has plenty of room for your driver's license, gym ID, credit and debit cards, and even a little emergency cash or a few business cards. We include 4 card slots - 2 on each side - and a center compartment for bills, receipts, or more card storage. If you've been married to your bi fold for years, why not switch things up and give our Slim Card Case a try? It might just become your new favorite!
Our Vero collection is drum dyed, aniline, buttery soft Nappa leather. This classic Italian leather makes it a great choice for pairing with other leather items, as its natural look can blend with almost anything. Vero is our most popular collection and works well as a stylish luxury accessory for yourself or a gift for a friend.
I could not be happier with this card case as my wallet. I honestly wouldn't change anything about it. The center pocket is the perfect height for folded those and the outside pockets are wide enough for business cards. The leather is thin enough to keep the wallet slim and thick enough to not be flimsy.
Beautiful color, perfect engraving, you get exactly what you expect
I ordered this leather card case with silver hot stamped initials, and it looks great! The leather feels of excellent quality and the silver initials are very clear and precise. My friend was very happy with this birthday gift. The only thing I would request is that there be more color options. The blue leather option was a nice variant from the rest of the colors, but more vibrant color options would make this product even greater!.
Got this case as a gift - monogram and product look great, shipped incredibly fast!
I ordered this card case in chocolate brown for my husband and had it monogrammed. I thought the price was very fair for a leather wallet, and when I received the package I was quite impressed at the buttery leather, quality product, and careful packaging! It made a great gift!
Quality is excellent. It is a minimalistic wallet, but it has enough room to be functional.
This is a beautiful slim wallet. There is a pocket in the middle for dollar bills. The quality of the leather is rich a soft. Worth $50.
I am really disappointed by this product and I am hoping my recipient won't be terribly disappointed when I gift it to him at Christmas. The regular leather is really thin and almost flimsy (I expected it would be sort of rough and with age over time soften up a bit) but this will just deteriorate way sooner than I expect it to I am sure. The ONLY reason I didn't upgrade to the higher quality Saffiano leather is because I didn't think silver embossing would be seen clearly on the black cross hatching of Saffiano leather. I really, really wish I had because now the item isn't returnable after it's been customized. I really feel like I wasted a lot of money and if I do purchase again from Leatherology I'll get the higher quality option!
I would definitely order from Leatherology again! From the packaging used when it arrived to the box the wallet was packed in was fabulous! Great quality leather and I loved the embossed personalized lettering. Very impressed...
This item was purchased as a gift. It arrived shortly after placing order. Very high quality item that will last for many years making it worth the money.
I bought this card case in black for my husband and had it personalized with his initials in gold. He absolutely loved it! Love the feel of the leather and how the initials came out. Would definitely recommend.
This is a nicely designed, well-made wallet for those of us who want to trim down excess bulk in our back pockets. Holds all the essentials (Driver's license, I.D., and credit cards) in a slim and comfortable package. Replaces a worn-out Coach wallet that served me for years. This is as nice and less costly. Shipped quickly and came well-protected in a box fit for presentation as a gift. Nice!
Love the leather wallet with my husbands initials. I think he will love his birthday present.
This is a high quality leather (smells really good) that is the same one that Coach sells for about $20 more. Great product and price, fast shipping.
Bought this to replace an old one. Just as expected and a great thin card carrier.
Beautiful wallet in lovely packaging. Great for gift giving. Just what I was looking for.
Beautiful quality and the perfect size to carry just a few cards and some cash!
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

In the walk of the hot rodding aftermarket, the term battle tested serves merely as a euphemism for track-tested racing hardware. When the products at hand are Jet-Hot's well-known ceramic coatings, however, that euphemism transforms into a literary truth. Before entering the automotive market, Jet-Hot earned its red, white, and blue stripes developing coatings for the U.S. military. Whether the challenge at hand was providing a thermal barrier on fighter jet engines and submarine parts, or protecting the launch gear on aircraft carriers, Uncle Sam turned to Jet-Hot to get the job done during the heat of combat. Recognizing the benefits of Jet-Hot coatings, the Army began using them on armored vehicles as well.
Eventually, Jet-Hot pondered the benefits of applying its proven coating technology to automotive applications. After extensive research, the company developed coatings specifically for automotive use, and racers and enthusiasts alike quickly realized the benefits of Jet-Hot's ceramic coatings. In the past, header coatings were nothing more than aesthetic products that provided little to no thermal protection, but Jet-Hot changed all that by offering coatings that not only prevented corrosion, but also looked great. In recent years, engine builders have realized the benefits of applying Jet-Hot's thermal coatings on internal components such as pistons and cylinder head combustion chambers. Furthermore, the company has also developed a complete line of antifriction and oil-shedding coatings. To get the full scoop on coating technology, and how hot rodders can use them in their own rides, we recently sat down and chatted with Jet-Hot's Dave Burton. Here's what he had to say.
Origin of Coatings
Coating technology was first applied to headers in 1981. The technology was an adaptation of similar coatings Jet-Hot developed for the aerospace industry as a means of protecting high-temperature metals from oxidation. The extreme heat created by fighter jet engines, the corrosive environments they operate in, and the countless heat cycles they're subjected to caused very rapid parts wear, so the military turned to Jet-Hot to develop coatings that extended component longevity. Furthermore, Jet-Hot has supplied proprietary coatings to protect the parts on aircraft carrier launch systems for the U.S. Navy, as well as coatings for the U.S. Army's armored vehicles. Leveraging upon years of experience learned from providing long-term protection from corrosion and thermal fatigue in military applications, Jet-Hot transitioned into the automotive aftermarket in the early '90s. These coatings are similar, but have been updated and enhanced over the years to meet the specific needs of the automotive segment. Jet-Hot is constantly developing and testing new coatings for specialized applications and solutions. Customers can rest assured that Jet-Hot uses the same technology in our automotive applications as in our military applications to provide a superior level of protection.
Automotive Transition
Given Jet-Hot's extensive track record in heavy-duty military applications, we began exploring how to apply our coating technology to address the heat management issues in hot rods and race cars. After releasing our first automotive products, Jet-Hot became the number-one coating brand on the market within five years. Enthusiasts also appreciated the high-sheen finish provided by our coatings. In the early '90s, Jet-Hot became the only coating company to support racers at the track. Legendary NHRA Funny Car champion John Force recognized the safety benefits of Jet-Hot coatings early on, as they substantially reduced header temperatures. His crew chiefs discovered that Jet-Hot's coatings allowed for quicker cooldown periods, allowing them to rebuild their race motors more quickly between rounds.

Yes….this is my second quilt top in these colors in two weeks, but I really love these colors together!!! This top is from a pattern/quilt I made for the Robert Kaufman booth at market. My husband named it Off Track.
Only after basting half of it did I finally notice that it really is off track… See?
How in the heck did I miss that???!!!! Luckily the "oops" block was in the bottom row so it was an easy unpick…but still worth a grumble and rolling of the eyes by yours truly.

Chaffee gets new director and new spaceBy Gordon Dritschilo
STAFF WRITER | December 29,2012Everything is coming together for the Chaffee Art Center.
Board President Tracy Carris announced Friday that the center has a new executive director, has completed a fundraising drive, is poised to begin the repairs being paid for by that drive, and is moving into a temporary downtown location that will carry them through the repairs and possibly offer added space beyond it.
I see this as exactly what we were trying to accomplish as a board, things moving forward, Carris said. Its about time.
The new director is Margaret Barros, a Rutland native who has worked in public relations for Vermont Electric Power Co. Carris said the Chaffee board chose Barros because of her business background and ability to help fund-raise locally and be comfortable doing it.
I think shes going to be a good fundraiser, he said. I think shes going to be a good collaborator. Shes easy to talk to and I think shes going to be a good face for the Chaffee.
Carris said the board held three rounds of interviews, with candidates coming from as far away as Maine. He said the field was narrowed to three finalists, from whom Barros was chosen.
As Carris discussed Barros, workers were putting a sign up on the Chaffees new Merchants Row annex, next to the Boys & Girls Club. He said the organization is able to take the space thanks to a collaboration with owner Mark Foley, the Downtown Rutland Partnership and the Creative Economy.
It demonstrates what happens when you come downtown, Carris said. The moment we mentioned it, we had three organizations helping us out. ... We hope to be open by New Years Eve. We have a January show thatll definitely be downtown.
The space is necessary because, Carris said, the Chaffee finally completed a long-running $84,000 capital campaign to match a grant and pay for renovations at its South Main Street location.
Were going to start construction and some of the repairs to the electrical system Jan. 1, he said. Were putting the time and energy into (the building) that it deserves.
Carris stressed that the downtown space is not meant to replace the existing building, which he expects to reopen in the spring. However, he did say the board hopes to operate the annex along with the South Main Street building.
It will have to float on its own two feet, so to speak, Carris said. We want it to be permanent, but if it cant hold itself up, it wont be.

Guns Crime Facts, Gun Crime Feelings
Posted by KingShamus on December 20, 2012
Some loosely connected facts.
Item One: A look at mass shootings, courtesy of John Fund over at National Review.
Mass shootings are no more common than they have been in past decades, despite the impression given by the media.
In fact, the high point for mass killings in the U.S. was 1929, according to criminologist Grant Duwe of the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
Incidents of mass murder in the U.S. declined from 42 in the 1990s to 26 in the first decade of this century.
The chances of being killed in a mass shooting are about what they are for being struck by lightning.
Until the Newtown horror, the three worst K–12 school shootings ever had taken place in either Britain or Germany.
But why let the truth interrupt a Democrat/Media Party narrative?
We must do—–something. What? Who knows? But something has to be changed, even if the change is pointless and counter-productive.
Item Two: What is the worst school massacre in US history?
On May 18, 1927, a part-time caretaker at a school in Bath, Michigan, killed 45 people, including 38 children, when he blew up a school and then killed himself, along with two first responders at the scene. Another 58 people were wounded.
The 38 children were in grades three through six.
Forty five people dead by the hand of a mad bomber. An evil person motivated to commit murder will often find a way without firearms.
Item Three: Gun crime in the United States has gotten worse over the last ten years, right?
Note–just as gun crime rates started going down, the national assault weapons ban had been lifted the year before.
I mean, if all the statists can do is emote and demagogue the Newtown atrocity, I can engage in a shameless 'correlation equals causation' argument.
Item Four: Chicago, run by former Obama Administration chief-of-staff Rahm Emmanuel, has some of the toughest gun laws in America. How is life in a gun-free paradise working out?
The City of Chicago just saw its 436th murder of 2012, surpassing 435 murders from 2011.
That figure was as of October of this year. Sadly, the Windy City's murder statistics are probably much higher than 436 by now.
Item Five: What is the violent crime rate per 100,000 people in the United States?
Item Six: What is the violent crime rate per 100,000 in the very gun-unfriendly United Kingdom?
Gun crime in America is becoming less frequent.
The United States doesn't have a violent crime problem, at least when compared to other countries.
America is safer than almost every other Western industrialized nation on the planet.
The facts are on the side of self-defense. The facts are on the side of empowering law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. The facts are on the side of judicious reasoning and measured responses. The facts are on the side of the Second Amendment and its integral place in the US Constitution.
The trouble is, we are being asked by our enlightened betters to disregard these truths. We are being told, in ways ranging from slightly vulgar to mostly idiotic to completely ham-handed, that the country must throw away the hard-won civil rights gains made in the last several decades. We must relinquish the tools that have made both ourselves and our property more secure then they've been in half a century.
Why? Because a vile deranged man cannot be trusted with firearms.
Never has the Left's sneering contempt for ordinary citizens been more blatant: 'A psychologically-troubled lunatic cannot be trusted with guns, therefore neither can the rest of you slack-jawed bitter clingers. Now hand over your weapons. It's for your own good.'
Make no mistake. The Left is not calling on gun control because it's proven to be effective. There simply isn't an overwhelming amount scientific data to suggest that an assault weapons ban would've prevented a shooting like the Newtown tragedy. They are simply reflexively reacting to a gut-wrenching crime.
Many left-wingers assign a malevolent nature to an inanimate object. Some find guns to be too rural to ever align with the self-congratulatory cosmopolitanism so many on the Left identify with. Some just fear firearms because they look scary and dangerous. For these basically anti-intellectual instinctive reasons, liberals dislike guns.
Alas, the progressive caucus' collective instincts are terribly wrong.
Conservatives are going to try to reason Obama and the Democrats out of their anti-gun position. Under normal circumstances, that might work. The problem here is that, even more than usual, liberals never actually reasoned themselves into their current pro-gun control stance. The stupid ugly retrograde Second Amendment needs some serious progressive remodeling and that's good enough for them.

Let's leave only the state armed. Yeah. That always works.

(Shameless link-whoring.) Seeing rifles with scary pistol grips, rail systems, and "high-capacity" magazines makes Progressives pee themselves a little and oh, by the way, the Second Amendment is a favorite of the Right, therefore something must be done to keep "assault-style" or "military-style" or "whatever meaningless euphemism POTUS makes up-style" rifles out of the hands of these gun crazies. Like those gun-crazy women who are empowering themselves by taking their personal defense into their own hands.

Public safety has nothing to do with with why the anti-gun crowd wants more gun control laws. They know they they can never completely enslave America as long as America is armed.

PANAMA CITY— The Bay County Commission will vote Tuesday on whether to bring ambulance services in-house.
These operations, commonly called emergency medical services (EMS), are being run Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart Health System, which went private under a 40-year lease in 2012.
The vote comes shortly after the county received an analysis by an EMS consulting firm, Fitch & Associates, on whether the move is financially feasible. The analysis said the county could make money on the move, between $600,000 and $1.2 million.
But a separate county clerk of court analysis offered a different perspective, saying the decision could wind up costing the county money.
"Should Bay County implement EMS services it is this office's opinion, based on the points above, the fees from operations will not cover expenses, requiring funds from another source," said Bill Kinsaul, clerk of court, in the analysis.
Kinsaul also worried that the county's budget had just been "depleted of cash over the past five years" and taking over EMS operations would milk it of more money.
Nevertheless, the majority of commissioners favor county control of EMS.
Commissioner Mike Thomas said the Fitch analysis and county's demographics make him feel "pretty good" about the move. He also said the ambulance service is already making money.
"I think it's a good idea," he said.
Thomas said he'd like to see EMS merged one day with the county's fire and rescue service, which would put more trained personnel on the road. He said a lot of other cities and counties have done that. He added it makes sense because stricter fire codes have meant fewer fires, so this would give personnel a dual purpose
Thomas said the commission has been looking at bringing EMS operations in-house for two years. He said Bay Med controlling the service was fine when it was nonprofit, but that's changed. And he's not comfortable with a for-profit hospital running the only EMS operations in the county.
"Clearly the protocol is that Bay Medical says that if somebody doesn't ask or direct where they want to be taken, they'll be carried to Bay Medical," he said.
The county controls who gets a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN), which allows one or more entities to run EMS operations. Bay Med's COPCN will expire at the end of June and has already been extended twice, while the commission mulled who would control EMS.
In April, County Manager Ed Smith said Bay Med's COPCN would "probably" be extended a third time, and temporarily, there might be dueling COPCNs. But now that doesn't appear to be the case.
Thomas said he believed there would be an immediate transition if the commission voted to bring EMS in-house.
"County staff will be in the process of getting all this put together," he said. "They've been working on it, I believe, (with) the feasibility part of it, to where they should be able to move fairly rapidly and take the whole thing over in time."
Commissioner Guy Tunnell, meanwhile, said he's been a proponent of bringing EMS in-house "for a while," though he's willing to listen to detractors.
"Unless I hear something contrary, I'm certainly in favor of us going ahead and taking over the service," he said.
Tunnell said the county has "studied this thing to death," and now it's time for action.
As far as the clerk of court's analysis, Tunnell indicated he trusted the Fitch report more than Kinsaul's opinion.
"I respect Mr. Kinsaul and what he's got to say, but he's the clerk of the court; he's not the expert when it comes to EMS services or operations. I think we've talked to some folks where that's their profession," Tunnell said.
But Tunnell wants EMS operations and financials to be watched closely if it's brought in-house. He also pointed out that the county could always bid out the service if it does lose money. He said he believes plenty of private entities would want to run the service if it were bid out.
But right now, Tunnell's on board with a county-run EMS.
"I'd like to see this be revenue neutral. If it makes money that's great," he said.
The commission meeting is at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the Commission Chambers of the Bay County Government Center at 840 W. 11th St.
