Boardyness, freerides, skatehockey, rubiks cubes, bacon and FOLLOWING THE FUN. Enjoy my wacky conversation with the Swedish Downhill Champion. PS: At the end of this is a challenge from him to YOU! Can you DOWNHILL RUBIKS?
Hey Adam, thanks for talking to us. Where are you from?
No problem man! I'm from Stockholm, Sweden.
When did you start skating?
Ehm, I think I was 10 or 11. My brother bought a skateboard and started skating with his friends.
I thought it looked cool and wanted to try it out, and have been skating ever since. I picked up longboard 4 or 5 years ago. Best decision of my life!
Still riding the same board from 5 years ago?
Haha, not really no! I've had several since then. The longboard I had was a short slalom board. Really narrow, really short. Super fun to take to school! But my riding has evolved and I've wanted to try new styles of riding. I still have it though, still a superfun board!
Do you still slalom?
Yeah I do! I try to variate my skating as much as I can. I really do enjoy all types of riding and slalom has helped my skating evolve a lot. It gives you that "board feeling" you know?
What ever makes you happy man! ;p
Haha. Aside from slalom what do you do?
Street skating, pool, miniramp, skatehockey haha, downhill/freeriding! Mostly downhill and freeriding!
Haha WTF? Skatehockey?
Haha yeah man! A couple of guys here in Stockholm saw some guys playing land hockey on their skateboards. They had skateboards, a hockey stick and a beer can and played "skatehockey". So we did what they did, and here I am!
Rules, location, league, players? Where does this madness occur?
Hahaha ehm, we just make up rules as we go along. As long as everybody is happy, it works!
We usually play in empty garages, 3 vs. 3 depending on how many we are! It's A LOT of fun!
How does one win?
As in regular ice hockey. The one with the most goals walks away as the champion!
Is it all down to speed and the woman/man with the biggest stick?
Haha, sure! Why not! haha.. I guess boardyness is the key here, and having fun!
Can you score with your board e.g speed check the beer can into the goal?
I guess! Like I said, we make up rules as we go along. haha, i'm really not sure!
Insane! You must get some gnarly injuries from this. What's the best you've seen?
We try not to kill each other. It's all for the fun of it, and what's the point if you can't skate tomorrow? I think the worst is a bloody nose.
Where do you get to freeride/downhill?
We skate what is skateable. Now, during the winter we mostly skate garages and spirals. Beacuse of the snow. In the summer time we skate the hills that we feel puts the biggest smile on our faces. My new favorite hill in Stockholm is "Hairpin City", not a very fast hill(40km/h). But quite techy, especially if you put 7-8 guys into it at the same time. The hill is featuered in "The Hills of stokeholm" on this site!
Who do you skate with?
Whoever wants to skate! I skate with everyone! That's what brought me into this lifestyle, the people. Everyone skates with everyone!
Sweet. Are there local crews in the city?
I guess! It's starting to form now. I'm not really sure if it's a good or a bad thing. I want this to be built on passion, as one big family! Everyone should be able to join/skate. But if crews make people happy. Go for it, I just skate!
Longboarding is blowing up all over Europe, last summer saw record attendances at events, did this trend extend north?
Yeah for sure! This year we had the first ever Swedish Downhill Cup. Four events in Sweden with a lot of people at every race. Really stoked!
Nice! Who is organising these events?
An organistation called Longboard Sweden (www.longboardsweden.se). Filled with people who loves to skate.
Boardy people! What's your involvement with the organisation?
None last year I'm afraid! Didn't really have the time because of all the travelling. I payed the member fee to make sure I gave some support and attended all the races though.
Would be cool to help them in some way, and I will as much as I can. But I will travel a lot this year as well.
How did you do in the Swedish Downhill Cup?
I won it! Super stoked! Have been a really fun year and winning was just the icing on the cake.
Yeah!! Congratulations. You took it's Cupginity.
Hahaha thanks man! My favourite race was the Swedish Championships for sure and it was also the hardest road. Super fun, really fast and super techy track. It's called "Ormen" or "The Snake" in English, you probably hit just under 80km/h into a really narrow 90 degree left. It was raining the whole weekend, but we still managed to stay happy and race that crazy road. Freeriding that track with all your friends in the rain is probably one of the best memories from this year. Everyone was really really stoked!
How was the rest of the season for you?
Traveling around the globe, hitting up four or five IGSA races, mostly in Europe, but I also went over to Calgary, Canada for the Winsport race. That was a lot of fun! Went to Norway a couple of times as well. Always superfun to skate with the Norwegians, damn they're fast! But they all have fun skating, and you always feel at home even though it some rivalty inbetween the countries, haha.Friendly neighbour rivalry
Skatehockey rivalry?
Nope! Might be, this year! Haha, you just gave me a great idea.. I'll keep you posted!
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Bacon sandwich?
Nooooooooooo! But that would've been awesome right now. Might go and make myself one after this and some freshly pressed orange juice!
Are you the downhill chef?
That would be something of an epic TV show! But no!
Epic hill time!
Hahaha spot on bro! Spot on!
Fun times ahead! It would be absolutely awesome to have an AllAroudSkatehockey championship, with proper rules, not Adam making them along the way (aka cheating)!
Haha, I'm down! Host it and I'll make sure to bring a team.. Or come join us this saturday?
It's not too far man!
To -7 degrees? No freaking chance! This summer we hear there is a gathering in Stockholm, if you guys provide hockey sticks, we'll bring prizes (biscuits).
Absolutley! Sounds super fun.. Already stoked!!
You'll be at 'The Gathering'?
I'm not really sure! If I'm in Stockholm, yes! Would be cool to see how many people it will be this year. It has grown so much just over the summer. So it will probably be a blast for everyone who is there.
How was it last year? When did it start?
I wasn't there last year either. Was out of town, wasn't home much at all last year. But I heard from people and saw pitures of it. For Stockholm, LOTS of people! Really cool to see that longobaard is growing like crazy. As long as we can keep it passionate and keep the Riders to Riders spirit alive. I'm happy!
Haha Riders to Riders, that's what Ishti kept saying when we interviewed her.
Well, the Kahalani store was the first place I went to when I got my first board. I had heard so much about them. And it was true! I stood in the shop for probably 2 hours talking to Dan Åhlström. Back then, when I was mostly a street skater, I didn't really know much about the whole thing. Dan taught me everything I needed to know, he let me try out a couple of boards and I got hooked. Right that instant! Both Mike and Dan (the Kahalani brothers) are so friendly and so passionate about what they're doing. I have them to thank for many things. They both breathe "Riders to Riders", it's all they do. So I got inspired and have lived after it ever since.
Sounds like they do a lot for the local scene. Which is awesome to hear.
Yeah they do, awesome guys!
What do you ride?
At the moment, I ride a Kahalani prototype board, Kahalani 184 trucks (venom 90a/90a), kahalani bearings (regular abec 7s or ceramics depending on the course. But that's more of a mental thing for me). Wheels? Mostly sector9 race formulas, the soft ones. But I do change wheels pretty often so whatever I can get a hold of. Something really sticky under my feet as well.
Funny you mention that about ceramic bearings, people shell out crazy money for them sometimes. Have you tested yourself on clean ceramics VS clean steel ABEC7s?
No, I've haven't really! Like I said, more of a mental thing. The Kahalani ceramics aren't very pricey so that's why I tend to change to them when the courses are more open. What I mean by that is you don't have to slide very much. They feel smoother in my head and whatever feels good gives you an advantage when you're racing. Steel when the roads are techy!
What's your favourite track to race in the world?
I absolutly love "Ormen" here in Sweden! But it's weakness is that it's a "2-man-racing-hill".
Otherwise, Kozakov! Wow, great track! FAST, really techy at the top, more of a drafting-part at the bottom. Superfun hill!
But it's not always the hill. It's the people you ride with! You can have this awesome hill, and ride it with people who forget to have fun. Then it's not worth it! If you always ride and make the most of the hills you're riding. Then it's worth it! EVERY TIME! Having fun and spreading joy is what skateboarding is about!
What are your plans for next season?
Well, try to race in the US. I've never been there to race. Looks cool!
I will also try to head over to Cali to freeride some over there. Otherwise just travel where the board takes me. VOSS for sure, had a great time there last year in the pouring rain. Peyragudes! I'm not really sure man. Follow the fun! haha, can you even say that? (when have skateboarders ever payed attention to rules) True! FOLLOW THE FUN!
You must come to Bo Peep ''Crash and Burn'' in June!
Heard about that race. England right? Looks like a sick road! I might!
No hockey sticks though!
I'll bring some! Otherwise, we can improvise. Branches?
Elk horns?
Why not? Go for it!
What do you do when you're not skating?
Good question, during the summer, I hang out with friends and work. During the winters I try to ski as much as i can, and of course work to pay for all the traveling and skating. I also solve one or two rubiks cubes from time to time.
During summer time I work in the Kahalani store. Mike and Dan have given me the opportunity to work there and I'm super stoked. During the winter when there isn't very much to do in the store. I mount and wax skiis!
Have you tried downhill rubiks?
I've had that in mind for 2 years! But haven't really done it yet.. Challenge accepted!
Current record by James ''Frostie'' Frost is 52 seconds.
I should be able to do better. I'll post you a video as soon as it's dry outside! haha
Ladies and gentlemen, the birth of the Rubiks Downhill challenge. Winner gets half a biscuit.
I'm on it! Those biscuits you were talking about sounds delicious!
They are not baked in a stove, but a Stoke! (last bad joke from me this week)
It's been a great pleasure talking to you bro!
Just 3 questions left. Choose 3 numbers between 1-20
The pleasure is all mine! 2, 4, 6!
2 – Would you rather have a hook for a hand or a wheel for a foot ?
I'd go for the hook, or can I choose a replacable slidingpuck? Would have have some problems standing on my board with a wheel… Hooked puck maybe ''huck''
4 – Whos is the best person you've seen skating ?
The best? I really don't know. But I always enjoy skating with my friend Morre, Maurtiz Armfelt(Morre). He's always stoked beyond belief, and that is worth so much more! But he's not only stoked, he's really good too.. Maybe there is a connection? hmm…
6 – Do you like lemons ?
No! They're pretty to look at, but no!
Haha great stuff. Keep the fire burning man, looking forward to skating/hockey soon.
You too! Me too man, this summer for sure! FOLLOW THE FUN!

Never been to Rausch Creek,tips PLS
Me & a buddy plan on going out on vac the end of April.I have front & rear lockers,winch 7 skid plates.Is there anything else other than supplies for emergency repairs or anything I should know.ive never been & watching the videos on line it looks pretty tough.
plenty of trails that you can do stock.. awesome place. Camping is primitive and basically in the parking lot. Awesome place though..
I guide at Rausch for a few groups and events and Rausch can be as easy or hard as you want to make it. Green trails are very stock friendly. Blues are a little harder I usually recommend at least 31" tires. For Blacks I recommend at least 33s, skids and lockers. Unless you are trailering down there I would say stay off the reds. Larger tires and lockers make the trails easier to get through.
With my set up, JK on 33's, skids, winch and rear locker I usually run the Blue and Blue-Black trails if I am just looking to have a fun day at the park and I will run Blacks if I feel like challenging myself.
Since it is your first time there I would recommend posting up on Rausch's forum and trying to hook up with a group that is familiar with the park.
Also if a water/mud hole has a name on it you probably want to stay out of it.
1 Attachment(s)
Buddy and I learned the whole speel about water at RC just a tad bit too late. If its not named and is water it is up to 3ft. If it is named and water up to 5'... And if it says really fudging deep, well just stay out!
This pic is Sunken Treasure ... Named from when the first guy to attempt it drove through and lost his wallet, lunch, phone, etc....
Attachment 232272
I think Ill stay clear of large bodies of water.Especially since I have to drive 4 hrs home lol.
Keep em coming.
I was told by a guy who goes there often to get there early and head towards the back of the park.He said people see the tempting trails going in and dont make it to the back until later.any truth to that?
I say just go. When it looks good take a left, and when it looks bad take a right. It's a great place to tool around in and eventually as you go more there will be trails that you seek out and ones you stay away from.
I still have yet to check out the property on the other side of the road.
Do they just let the place fill up or do they stop taking people after so many go in? I just hope Im not waiting in like to go thru a trail.
Im lookin for some dudes to go up with sometime, if any of you are central pa guys. not to hijack or anything just saying pm me if youre down! I am all stock right not but doesnt mean I cant make some blues or anything.
Plenty of room up there.

I know its been a little while but it was a blast.I ended up bending my tie rod end bar/linkage on a big ole rock and pushing it into my front diff.We also had to replace one of my wheel bearings before we headed home.Its crazy how much influence R/C has on that town.Awesome time.

We demonstrate the use of a spatial light modulator (SLM) to facilitate the trapping of particles in three-dimensional structures through time-sharing. This method allows particles to be held in complex, three-dimensional configurations using cycling of simple holograms. Importantly, we discuss limiting factors inherent in current phase only SLM design for applications in both optical tweezing and atom trapping.

War of the Idiot/
Today, many European politicians and mainstream journalists cry crocodile tears about Syria´s ancient city of Palmyra coming under terrorist control. They express their concerns that the armed militants of the "Islamic State" will destroy Palmyra, which harbors the ruins of a great city that was once one of the world's key cultural hubs. It wouldn´t be the first time that the "Islamic State" destroys cultural heritage.
But those emotions are deeply hypocritical, because many of those who are now so concerned are, in reality, the ideological spin doctors of the "Islamic State" and other terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq. With their support for the so-called "Syrian Revolution," they fueled these movements.
The "Islamic State" is today simply executing its job—destroying civilization, desintregating whole nations, killing everyone who represents "order" in the most brutal way they can. They atomize Syria, the geopolitical obstacle in the eyes of Washington and Brussels.
This pattern is not new at all:
In Kosovo, extremist Albanians didn't just attack Serbs, they attacked and destroyed Serbian-Orthodox churches and burial grounds. They didn't just want to get rid of the Serbian population, they wanted to get rid of the Serbian historical presence. Kosovo-Albanians desecrate Serbian graves by putting animal cadavers on them.
In the Southern Caucasus, Armenian churches and monasteries were targeted by the Azerbaijan forces during the Nagorno-Karabakh War. The Armenian cathedral of Shushi was desecrated and turned into a weapons stockpile by the Aziri forces.
It is not a coincidence that this barbarian and anti-cultural warfare was supported by "volunteers" (such as Chechnyan and Afghan Djihadis) in both, former Yugoslavia and Southern Caucasus.
Destroying cultural, historical, religious and national heritage is an effective way to create a fait accompli on the geopolitical battleground. The purpose of those "measures of war" is to cut the enemy population off from their historical, cultural, and religous collective bonds and identities.
And this is exactly the ideological concept of the post-modernist and liberal West. They do the same in Europe—of course by other means, with "soft power." Here, our political and cultural elites deny the existence and importance of collective identities. They fantasise in our universities about intellectual holographs such as "hybrid identities" and so on. They fight against religion, they "deconstruct" the family. They've even created a whole genre of literature that denies the existance of "male" and "female." They turn churches into department stores or appartment buildings. They worship the "individual," which is "free" to act in an "open society"—which really means a global "open market."
The Russian philosopher and political scientist Alexandr Dugin once described this process as a way to spread a modern "idtiocy." In ancient Greek, the term "idiōtēs" described "a private citizen, one who has no professional knowledge, a layman." "Idiōtēs" was used in ancient Athens to refer to one who declined to take part in public life—someone without any collective bonds.
The "Islamic State" is today the "bulldozer" of wars to destroy collective bonds in the Middle East. In that way, it is the militant wing of Western liberalism.

Bacteria Boosted to Produce More Isopentenol for Gasoline

An international team of bioengineers has boosted the ability of bacteria to produce isopentenol, a compound with desirable gasoline properties. Isopentenol is a five-carbon alcohol that is a highly promising candidate for biogasoline, but, like other short-chained alcohols, is toxic to E.coli at commercial levels of fuel production. The finding, published in mBio®, the online […]

Hi Juan,
Hi Juan,
Hi Juan,
I can now wholeheartedly recommend WWII Impressions. I have been a fan of ***
(owning five pairs of their boots), but I recently broke down and got WWII
Imp.'s USMC Boondockers. What a difference! The insole actually has some
padding, the leather is thick but supple, and the soles are actually hard rubber
that will not wear quickly like the *** ones do. Don't get me wrong, I like my
*** boots, but I will be replacing my roughouts with WWII Imp. boots when they
come back in stock. The rest of my *** stuff I don't wear as much, so no biggie.
Anyway, the cost for WWII Imp. is more, but in my opinion it is WELL worth it.
Hi Juan,
Boots arrived Friday. Good work. They are very well made and they fit.
Thanks! I am grateful that you insisted that the shoe be manufactured correctly.
Just got my boots, and they are fantastic!
Hi Juan,
Hi Juan,

Thanks for the quick service and a fantastic product!

Good Morning, Juan:
Good afternoon, Juan:
Dear Sir:
Hi Juan,
Dear Juan,
Ok Juan,
...Your quality surpasses everyone's out there and would prefer to purchase
things from you. Thanks so much for your time!
Thanks and I wanted to mention that over ten years ago I purchased a set of
wools and service shoes from you and roughly 50 events later they are holding up
great. Thanks for providing a great product.
Now I got to tell someone this, sorry, to the risk of steal Your time & being
redundant, but it's several days since I'm more and more amazed about the
Outstanding Quality of Your USMC P44 HBT Trousers. I always liked them,
since I saw 'em in collectors' pictures & now You will think I'm pretty weird
since I use $ 100 trousers for work, but I do it -because I like to see things
at work. So it's nearly an year through that I bring them trousers in the woods,
through the thorns & in the mud, kneeling in rocky & difficult terrain, working
intensively of chainsaw, and… when I drive home, I look down & see pants
Practically New. I never tried something slightly similar to that. I regularly
use german army utilities for work: easy to find, comfortable & perfectly
suited, but.. believe me, after One Single Day of work boy they're heavily
battered. Forget what I told You some time ago about HBT comparisons, I've got a
sturdy authentic HBT jacket & it's though, but them trousers.. They Haven't got
A Stain, with chainsaw constantly dribbling oil everywhere!!! I don't know how
to tell it, but I'm really astonished, if I'd take a picture & show it to You,
You'd see a New Pair of Trousers: they are working harsh since nearly One Year!
Hi Juan,
Hello Jonathan
Hi Juan,
Thank you for making your clothing in the U.S. and for making it so evidently
well. It is, in my estimation, worth beyond what you charge for it.
Consider me a customer for life.

Hi Juan,
Hi Juan,
Wow, I just received my order today and the items are amazing! Only the sleeves on the shirt are too short but that's no surprise since i have the arm length of a Yeti... very impressed with the quality etc!! you guys will be getting a lot of my future business!
Randy Brock
Hi Juan,
I ordered a jeep cap from you and have to say that the quality is simply off-the charts. Thanks.
Mike Knight
This is my third purchase with your company because your quality simply cannot not be beaten; your competitors prices might be cheaper, but so is their quality. I always recommend your company to other members of the Battleship North Carolina's Living History Crew that need top-quality authentic replica uniforms; keep up the good work. By the way, I'm glad to see you're carrying the Navy dress blue uniform, if I can't get my original WWII dress blues altered to fit me better we'll be doing business on a set real soon, and I'll definitely pass the word to the rest of BB-55's LHC members you now have them. THANKS!

Hello WW2 impressions,
The Type I service shoes/boots I ordered are awesome. The
quality and craftsmanship are A1! I hope I can spread the word to some of my

Ok, so I made my first purchase from Juan at WWII Imp.
I've been in the market for a set of pinks, and when I saw that Juan had my size
on closeout, I made the leap. Shipping was faster than expected, even now
during the holiday rush. I was able to get a hold of him by phone easily
to check my status. The uniforms are SPOT ON and match my original OS cap
perfectly. They even fit me well out of the box. (Only need the pants hemmed an
inch or so) My only issue was the lack of a picture of the item. This
delayed my decision to buy for quite a while. I also really wanted to get a tie,
but they're out. Overall, A+. I am very impressed and Juan, you've gained a

I purchased a m41 USMC haversack and a m1928 USMC cartridge
belt from Juan and as a part of the Christmas sale got a Thompson ammo pouch. I
am really impressed, can't wait to use it. Thanks much!!
I ordered one of these AAF A3 caps several months ago for my ground crew impression. A WWII ground crew vet fell in love with it and I made a Christmas present of it to him. He said its exactly like the ones he had it war.
Robert Devers
Just wanted to let you know I just received my m1928 pack today
and I am very pleased. I really appreciate the quick shipping and ease of
ordering on the site. This is a quality product that I can picture being issued
to the boys back in the war! You have gained a customer in me and as a rookie
reenactor I appreciate a good product that will last, thanks again!

Just received my cap this morning - excellent.
I think the best compliment that I can pay is that it is identical to my original cap in every detail. I look forwards to using WW2 Impressions again as the service and quality of goods are both excellent.

Hello Juan;
Received my ww11 Marine Corps helmet cover. I'm very happy with it, a top quality, well made, great item..
Thanks again
John Doyle
I wore that shirt I ordered from you for the first time on Veteran's Day and again yesterday at the Cradle of Aviation Museum, where I work. I received the highest of complements from not only the museum's administration staff, but from my fellow docents who served in the AAF in WWII. They couldn't get over it. They thought I was wearing the real thing, in other words a 60 year old shirt. The shirt is very comfortable and I can see why Army officers loved it. I received complements from visitors as well and getting a "thumbs up" from other WWII vets really makes it all worth while.
Thanks again for making such a quality product.
Bill Barto
I received my order the other day and the suit looks fantastic. I'm really impressed with the new material, it feels more durable than the previous one, and the new zipper's are great as well. I do like the reinforcements on the previous run better though, the canvas was heavier and the new canvas is kinda used looking. I'm still trying to get used to the green, but overall good job.
Thank you for all of your help, I must say your customer relations are top
Thanks for getting back to me so soon. I went to the Post Office and it was there for me. I am very pleased with the officer's chocolate shirt. I will always do business with you. You are definitely the BEST for reproductions. I have been spreading the word about your products.
Thanks and best wishes!
Mr. Gonzales,
I just received my order and I wanted to thank you for the high quality of the merchandise. More importantly, I want to express my appreciation for the professional courtesy shown by your organization in my phone conversations and emails. Everyone I spoke with was patient, and went the extra distance to accommodate me. You are miles ahead of that fellow in Kentucky...he will never last against this old fashioned type of customer service.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing today to express my sincere gratitude to Juan Gonzalez and the
WW2 Impressions Staff for their superior products and service. My recent
order was handled as if it were their most important business, delivered on
time and to top it off, the shipping costs came in at less than estimated!
The '42 Rigger Modified "Overlord" jumpsuit is simply fabulous. The color,
and fabric are exact and the suit 'weathers' beautifully. The Corcoran Jump
boots fit perfectly.
I heartily recommend to reenactors, collectors and military history
enthusiasts everywhere to consider the museum quality products and world
class service of WW2 Impressions when making their next purchase.
With appreciation for your commitment to excellence as together we honor
those who literally 'saved the world.'

Dear World War 2 Impressions,
Last week I received my Quartermasters coat. I am pleased with it to say the least. Having not seen it in the flesh I wasn't quite sure what to expect but on receiving my order it was far better quality than I had imagined. I looked at several sights on the internet that sell reproduction uniforms but yours was far better quality than any of the others. I also noticed you are mentioned on the 101st Airborne web site "Trigger Time" in the uniform section commenting on how you're paratrooper jackets are as good as the originals. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and have bought the coat as an every day garment, not just as a collectable.
Kind regards,
Mat Tonks
Received the paratrooper jacket today . It is AWESOME!! As promised I found the 48 star flag and 101st screamin' eagle . Everything has more than met my expectations .

Just received the russett boots I ordered some months ago. The wait seemed like forever, but now that the boots are in hand, I have to apologize for my impatience. The quality of the boots could not be better and the attention to detail is perfection itself! I seriously doubt that a finer pair of WW2 era repro boots can be found anywhere, for any price.
I have no idea who your competition is, and quite frankly, if you have any competition, it is my opinion that they won't be for long.
You know, as re-enactors, we hear all kinds of stuff about everybody out there who sells us repro stuff. If my note can help you spread the word about the quality of your stuff, have at it with my blessings. I assure you, that if I hear anything negative about your stuff, I'll be the first to defend WWII Impressions. You may also rest assured that when I come across a compnay like yours, I will do everything I can to get my compadres to buy from you.
Look for my next order soon.
Thanks again,

Hi Sylvia & WW II Impressions Staff:
I had ordered my Boots, Combat Service, Shoes, Service Reverse, and Shoes, Service Russet back in November and December of 2001. After a wait of nine months, with only a promise of future delivery, it would have been easy to have become discouraged and cancel the order.
I stuck with you over the long haul based upon nothing more than your promise and my satisfaction with the quality of your products and your service in my several previous purchases. All three pair of my boots and shoes were delivered this afternoon. To say that I am delighted with them is not enough. The quality in materials, workmanship, fit and authentic pattern was well worth the long wait. I could not have asked for nor expected a more superior product in all aspects. Thanks to all of you at WW 2 Impressions for providing such high quality, authentic products for the historic re-enactor.

Dear WWII Impressions:
Thanks once again for the excellent quality merchandise. I've been completely satisfied with items I've received so far, from head to toe. I'm really pleased to see that you're now offering the M1 (rifle) carrying cases in both regular Army and Paratrooper styles! I've ordered two of the cases to carry and protect my authentic (and functioning!) 1942 and 1943 Springfield Armory M1s that I take to the shooting range from time to time. I know when I receive them, I'll be very happy with the workmanship. I look forward to receiving them!

Yes, my purchase was directly related to the level of customer service that you personally, and your company demonstrated. I could not have asked for more from anyone if I was trying to decide between products. I posted on the board exactly what I saw with my own eyes, and that was that your fabric samples were identical to a set of original HBTs. I did this in the hopes that other reenactors wishing to purchase as exact a reproduction as they can possibly get will patronize your business. My sincere thanks for taking a personal interest in the satisfaction of your customers, a trait that is sorely lacking in some areas of today's marketplace.
Charles Richmond
Just quick note to tell you that as a U.S. WW2 militaria collector for many
years, I was very impressed with the quality of the items I was able to view
personally at your new warehouse showroom. The quality of the materials,
stitching, dye colors and variety of items was very impressive. I recently
purchased an Army HBT short-billed cap that was nearly identical to one that
I got from a marine vet. Nicely done and good luck!
Sean Prizeman
I know of no other place I can obtain the quality of uniform that you have to offer. I am a stickler for detail as a result of having been a re-enactor during the Bicentennial in Philadelphia during the 1970's. During the 1960's I was a commissioned officer in the Quartermaster Corps, so I also know something about uniforms. The WWII officer "chocolate" dress shirt and pinks trousers I ordered are great! The next best thing to wearing the real thing. You are my source for any future needs. Thanks also for the service, and constant updates.
Sincerely, Charlie Fass
I have dealt with every other major vendor and by far your service, communication and speed of shipment are far superior than your competition. Your EM products relative to quality materials, color, construction and how they hold up in the field are the best. Keep up the good work. I for one have purchased numerous GI EM items from WW II Impressions. Every item I have purchased has been of the highest quality. I have never had any problems with colors fading, shrinkage or fit. Juan and his staff have been extremely professional and very accommodating. When I have a question it has been handled to my satisfaction. I have purchased other items from other vendors and quite frankly would rate WWII Impressions far above the other vendors. I do not believe the other vendors provide the level of service, the quality of product is not up to WW II and as far as shipping and price I have found WW II to be above average. I would and have recommended WW II to my unit and other individuals. You cannot go wrong with WW II Impressions.
Mike Capodarco
Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for the prompt attention to my pervious orders. All enquiry e-mails to WW11 Impressions were answered quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Dispatch of my orders was efficient and I was extremely happy with the quality of the items when they arrived. I would have no hesitation in recommending WW11 Impressions as a dealer of very high standing.
Campbell Finlay
Great stuff!
Well made and quality
material. I've heard various horror stories about WW II Impressions from
different reenacting groups and individuals. Well... As far as I'm concerned...
They're full of (*&^. Everything I've bought from WW II Impressions has been
spot on and held up exceptionally well. I've had NO trouble with color fading
and spotting. My 42 Jump suit is 2001 stock and it's in great shape. Juan has
good products and reasonable prices. Hey! They guy has to make money, that's the
American way and Juan makes his the old fashion way, he earns it with
outstanding merchandise and service.
I recently ordered the Quartermaster Jump Jacket and I can only say, this is
fine quality. I have spoken with veterans who have told me what a great
reproduction it is. Well, worth the price, and will definitely do business
with these folks again.

Juan, I just received my Roughout Boots. I am very impressed with the quality and fit. I applied the Dubbing today also and they look just like the "real" pair I have in the closet. Congratulations on a great MADE IN AMERICA boot. My Uniforms are all from your company as well. You will get my repeat business.

Juan-I was at the the reunion of the FSSF last week doing a display for the veterans and I got a first hand look at the new mountain pants you have produced. As I was wearing an original set, it was easy to make comparisons with the reproduction pants worn by some of our group. Other than the fact that the new ones are "new", you have done a magnificent job of reproducing these pants. The buttons, fabric and workmanship are identical to the originals. I will recommend that anyone in our group that has not already placed an order with you should do so if they are looking for a good pair of pants.
John Dallimore, FSSF Living History Group
Lt. Juan,
I received shortly after my reply back to your response. They fit

thanks for your patience with my calls! the officer's field shirt and jeep cap arrived today. i cannot imagine a better, more accurate looking knit cap out there! it fits great, feels great. thank you for producing such a fine piece. the officer's shirt is a terrific fit and great weight and look! thank you for the buttons as well. i wore the jeep cap all evening (even though it was rather warm). i'm ready for winter and fall now!
thanks again,
Bill Search
I received the USMC Camo Jacket, USMC Shelter Half and the new M41 Field
Jacket and they're all superb!
Your new Field Jacket OD is by far the best reproduction out there! And the
USMC items are perfect.
Many thanks for also shipping them to me before the weekend. I deeply
appreciate it! (I can now show off the items at the upcoming Pacific War
event in Paris, IL.)
In the past couple of years I've purchased from you a couple of Jump Suits,
a Tanker Jacket, Boots, Dungarees and now these items and you've always
delivered a very high quality of items.
As always, thanks! ...Then again, your USMC Cammies are perfect. I saw at least 6 Marine
reenactors, including me, wearing them at the event.
Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to the Tanker Jacket.

The Marine HBT material arrived yesterday. Thanks a bunch for helping me obtain this! I am very impressed with the quality and was surprised to find out how heavy the material actually is. I showed it to my Japanese mother-in-law who remembers very well when the Marines arrived for Occupation duty in Sasebo, Japan in late September 1945. She was also very impressed with the material. Thanks also for enclosing your latest catalog. I will definitely place a few orders for some of your fine items in the near future. You can now count me as a new customer!
Thanks again,

Hi Juan,
I just wanted to let you know that I recently received a M41 USMC Assault
pack and camo shelter half. They are outstanding. The quality of material
an construction are second to none, excellent job!!
Thanks again,

Just a fast note to thank you for the quick turn-around on my order. The horse hide gloves, compass pouch, e-tool carrier, canteen cover and riggers pouches I received were top of the line. This is my third order with you and I've never been disappointed with your equipment and uniforms. Keep doing what your doing, your the best out there.
Thanks again
Dear Juan,
I am a immensely satisfied customer, I have ordered two USMC shelter halves, Two USMC camo covers {hats], two USMC covers OD, two m41 blouses two m41 trousers, and a complete USMC camo ensemble all of these products are incredible, I take them out of the closet just to look at them. {when I am not wearing them}. I was the guy who sent you an email last fall about how great it was that you were doing so well, keep it up YOU are the best of the best!!

Not that you need my approval...but I just received my first set of USMC

Uniform arrived today in great shape. The fit is perfect. I would like to thank you and your staff for their courtesy in my dealings with them. I will be ordering more gear from you in the near future. I wished I had ordered from you in the first place. The only reason I did not was because XXXXXXXXX includes a fatigue cap with their uniforms. I will be in touch. By the way I never got the uniform from XXXXXXXXX.
Just a quick thank you for the wool shirt that I ordered. It was very good quality and looks like an original that i have . It is a pleasure to deal with a company that the product is as good as advertised.

I received my latest order as well as the exchanged goods (I had changed sizes). I am very pleased with the great service you provide, and delighted with the superior quality of your WW2 military reproduction clothing. I will certainly be ordering more items in the near future.

Dear Mr. Gonzalez,
I received my first order via UPS from your company on Christmas Eve. I want you to know that I found the Winter Combat Jacket to be absolutely superb! The other items, which included the Knit Wool Cap, HBT Fatigue Cap, and CBI patches, were equally top quality. I am preparing an additional order which I will be forwarding to your company.
Be assured I will make known my complete satisfaction with your products and service to my colleagues at my forthcoming MVPA South Jersey Chapter meeting. I will be very well outfitted when I am driving my '42 GPW Jeep when its restoration is completed in the next few weeks!

Just got my Christmas gift from my wife and boy was I surprised. I have always wanted the Paratrooper Jacket (like the one's in Band of Brothers). It is a magnificent effort on your part. The material, the feel, the buttons, and the smell are as about as authentic as you can get. I can't wait to wear this back to work and show this beautiful jacket off.

quality. The weave and weight are excellent. Please continue making

is beyond description! Thank you again for making such wonderful

I just thought I'd write a few lines about the service World War Two Impressions has offered me to date. Living in the UK I have been plagued by excessive import charges in the past and this led to me having to return items for a promissory note for the future. Circumstance rather than choice have made me a difficult customer but the courtesy that Juan has showed me has been unconditional and unwavering throughout. Add this to the high quality and consistent improvement of the product range and you have a winning combination that assures continued business. Thanks Juan.

I received my WW 2 Paratrooper uniform and was very happy. It is everything I thought it would be. A little side note. Before I knew of your company's existence, I visited China and spent several days in Hong Kong. I had taken with me several photographs and drawings of the uniform. Their quote for making the uniform was $350 with no guarantee of when it could be delivered. I'm glad I waited as yours is authentic and much superior .
Many thanks
Airborne! All The Way

Juan and Sylvia,
Just wanted to let you know that my HBT's came today, and I'm very, very pleased with them. Thanks for all your help. I'm looking forward to getting my wools, as I'm sure I'll be pleased with them also. Your reputation is certainly deserved! Thanks again !

I just wanted to pass on a little note to say thanks. I was in your store yesterday and was able to say "hi" to you and your wife while at the same time purchase an M-41 jacket. I was so impressed with your inventory. I love my new jacket and look forward to doing business with you again. I will highly recommend your business to anyone just getting involved in reenacting (such as myself). Now, if I can just come up with another couple of thousand dollars to spend.
Kyle Clark
I just wanted to follow up with an email to say how satisfied I have been with my tanker jacket I recently purchased from you. I have met some people who know little or nothing about W.W.II clothing items, but have responded how impressed they were with the fine quality of the reproduction tanker jacket I bought from W.W.II Impressions. The overall look and fit is excellent, so much so that I wear my tanker jacket as an everyday casual jacket (and got some great use out of recently in snowy Canada). I am part of a W.W.II reenactment group near the Memphis, Tennessee area, and I will have to say that I intend to be a loyal customer of W.W.II Impressions in the future.

USMC emblem on it and I have not been able to take it off!! Have modeled it

in getting one so I have printed order forms off of your web site to hand
out as they comment.....thanks for pressing it as well - really looks
sharp!! AM very happy with it.

Hi -
You have well layed out site with superb looking uniforms/accessories! I look forward to purchasing items sometime down the road. I'm hoping to join a WWII re-enactor group and your company definitely has the goods to make the image right - at a less than horrific price. :-)
Keep up the great work.

Dear Sir or Madame,
thank you for your outstanding and prompt service. I had ordered a pair of rough out service shoes for my son on Monday afternoon and they arrived today at 4:30 pm. The boots look great and the size is perfect. You have my business in the future, thanks once again.
sincerly, Joseph Nilo
Dear Sirs,
I received my order for the two pair of boots, both Russet Brown and Roughout. I could not be more pleased. These are absolutely the best I have seen outside of originals, which I refuse to wear. I hope all of your products are this authentic I plan to be doing more business with you in the near future.

Juan and company,
Just a quick note to say how much I am pleased with the USMC camo fatigue set. It is astounding! The quality is super and comparing it to pics in the Moran book, there are indistinguishable from the originals! They are great! I would recommend them to any and all WW2 USMC reenactors/living historians.

To Juan and the rest of the crew
I just wanted to take a few seconds to tell you all How very impressed I was by
the level of customer service I received and all the assistance in creating my
Paratrooper impression. For anyone reading this letter after the fact; Juan
was very gracious throughout the ordering process and was very helpful in giving
me resources for research.
The uniform was a huge Hit at the 3rd Annual John C. Garand Match at Camp Perry
for the National Rifle competitions. I wore the uniform all day long along
with my M1A1 carbine and gear. Many questions were put to me about the life of
Paratroops at Normandy and I was able to improve my score form last year's
Many people stopped me for pictures and a few took down your contact information
with the intent to order uniforms for themselves. Pictures will follow as soon
as I get them developed and scanned.
thanks again. /:-)
Jim Saltzburg
I wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your excellent, and speedy service. I received the "type 2 service boots" you had sent in exchange for the "rough-outs" I had received in error. Thanks again! The boots, by the way, are EXCELLENT!
Best regards,
Jeff Dvorak Orland Park, IL 60462
Received my roughouts and my M41 today. Excellent jacket, awesome reproduction!
Thanks Again,

I know many Christians are fine with polyamory but the reality is that most are not. My daughter is christian and we used to be very very close. The fact that my partner is polyamorous has pushed us apart to a certain extent. I can understand how a christian mother would feel about her daughter getting involved in an arrangement like this and as the cat is out of the bag there is no way to stuff it back in. I can see why you're worried.
By this "paper you are willing to sign", do you mean divorce? I know that sounds drastic but it might be the only way to give your husband the woman that he loves very much. You could always find two houses next to each other or have an upstairs downstairs set-up so that you could all still be close. It might just be easier with life in a small town. The other option is moving, but M will still be without her family which is a big loss.
Having said all this, M did know what she was getting into from the start and she is an adult so you shouldn't have to feel guilty (very hard though). I too have a tendency to worry and feel responsible about a whole raft of things. I have a new little trick that is helping me with things outside of my control
I divide everything up into three areas. My business, other people's business and God's business. Sometimes it's hard to tell where something falls. In these cases I leave it alone until it becomes clear to me. Living with uncertainly is part of the polyamorous deal because you have more people to
consider and they have own baggage to deal with. My other new trick is living life one day at a time and doing the very best I can with that.
Good luck

GLOBAL MARKETS-Europe slumps as French car crash adds to oil spill
* Oil back above $30 a barrel
* European bourses down more than 2 pct
* French car shares slump as Renault investigated
* Canadian dollar steadies after hitting lowest since 2003
* Euro dip after ECB minutes from disappointing Dec meeting
* 10-year Japanese government bond yield falls to record low
By Marc Jones
LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Share markets and heavily commodity-dependent currencies took a fresh beating on Thursday, having been floored again by the latest plunge in oil prices, this time to below $30 a barrel.
MSCI's 46-country world index was down for its 10th day in the last 11 and Europe took another 2 percent hit, as worries that French carmakers were being dragged into the emissions scandal sent the likes of Renault down as much as 20 percent. Continued...

They have great romantic chemistry, and it turns out Jordin Sparks and Jason DeRulo are also a great fit on stage.
The "American Idol" alum and her "Whatcha Say" singer beau teamed up for the Christmas classic "Baby It's Cold Outside" as part of the "Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade" special.
Saying goodbye to 2013 won't be quite so hard thanks to the jam-packed roster for the "2014 Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" special.
Getting the chance to honor the men and women who have served in our military and perform his hit in the process, Jason DeRulo helped a man propose to his girlfriend on "Good Morning America" Monday (November 11).
In honor of Veterans Day, the 24-year-old crooner joined Petty Officer Sam Peikert as he surprised his gal Jackie Fairchild with a ring.
Music fans in Amsterdam weren't the only ones having fun last night (November 10) as MTV also held a telecast of the 2013 Europe Music Awards here in the States.
They're one of the cutest couples in pop music, and Jason DeRulo shows his true love for girlfriend Jordin Sparks in his new music video for "Marry Me."
In the clip, the "Whatcha Say" singer serenades his lovely lady and even "proposes" during a steamy moment in bed.
Teaming up for an interview, Jason DeRulo and new fiancée Jordin Sparks chatted with Miami's Y100 on Wednesday (August 28).
Spotted with a giant sparkler on her wedding finger, the 23-year-old singer was happy to talk about her relationship with R&B crooner.
Taking time away from their busy recording schedules, Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo scored a feature in the February 2013 issue of Glamour magazine.

Actively Learning About Readers: Audience Modelling in Business Writing
The advantages of peer feedback in business writing classes are clear. Students receive more appraisals of their writing than any single lecturer can ever realistically deliver. Also, the feedback comes from different perspectives and sometimes carries extra credibility coming from fellow students. Students gain from giving one another feedback as well. It is certainly learning by doing. Critiquing the work of colleagues raises awareness of the many ways to approach a given task and demands skills of analysis and attention to detail. Delivering feedback also requires tact and the ability to look for positives to commend as well as areas to improve. Reviewing written documents is a skill that students will certainly use in their future work lives. However, many of us have experienced problems with peer reviewing. Students hesitate to criticise their friends and prefer praising in a general way rather than suggesting improvements, which requires confidence.

Analyzing Web-Based Help Usage Data to Improve Products
This paper describes how user assistance can streamline deliverables and improve product design by analyzing usage patterns from server-based content. We can then base decisions about how to improve deliverables on a thorough understanding of how customers use help content to find information and solve problems. This approach enables user assistance to add more value to both our companies and our customers by creating a three-way dialog between user assistance, the customer, and the product team. It also broadens the definition of assistance to include helping to design products that people can use without the need for instructions.

In order to compose persuasive, user-centered communication, you should gather as much information as possible about the people reading your document. Your audience may consist of different people who may have different needs and expectations. In other words, you may have a complex audience in all the stages of your document's lifecycle—the development stage, the reading stage, and the action stage.

Audience Analysis the Easy Way
Audience analysis is more often a process of guesswork than of an in-depth inquiry into the mind and activities of the user. In fact, it is pretty easy to analyze your audience without having to do any research. Essentially, there are only two things that technical writers need ask themselves during the audience-analysis phase: what does the user know about the thing I am writing about? And what does the user want to know about the thing I am writing about?

What is the industry standard for bounce rate? The simple and short answer is that there is no industry standard. I know you don't want to hear that, but it is true. There is no industry standard. There are some ranges that I will share shortly but we can't call them industry standards. There are a lot of factors that influence the bounce rate, so you really can't compare bounce rates of one site (or page) to another.

Catching the Technology Wave: A Historical Analysis of the Technological Context of Technical Communication
We seem to be constantly chasing the latest and greatest technology, eternally one step behind. Our continual struggle to establish the field of technical communication yet assert dominance over new technological domains seem to be in direct conflict with each other. How can we possibly establish our dominance over a moving target? Instead of trying to peer into future, perhaps we need to look toward the past.

Cómo Leen Los Usuarios en la Web
Los usuarios en la Web no leen, o por lo menos no lo hacen de la misma forma secuencial que cuando tienen entre manos un periódico, un libro, un artículo o un cómic. Los usuarios tienen necesidades y objetivos, metas que alcanzar, y saben que la forma de conseguir dichas metas no suele ser dedicando largos ratos a cada nodo web que visitan, leyendo de principio a fin sus contenidos y enlaces. El usuario, en una página, hará clic sobre el primer enlace que crea puede llevarle a lo que busca, necesita o pudiera interesar. Eso quiere decir que muchos de los contenidos y enlaces de ese nodo ni siquiera serán vistos por el usuario.

Competitive Analysis: Understanding the Market Context
Effective web design, from the simplest brochure website to the most complex web application, needs to involve an understanding of context. While user-centered design focuses on user needs/tasks, and information architecture focuses on content, these two aspects alone offer an incomplete picture. What is missing is the context: the environment in which the website or web application is used as well as the market in which it exists.

Dealing with Risky and Safe Assumptions
One of the most important aspects of product development is the process of predicting the behavior of a product's intended users. I've participated in ideation sessions with companies where designers, user researchers, and engineers were making major assumptions about what users would and wouldn't be willing to do with their product, without performing any research. Of course, assumptions are important and useful. However, if not managed properly, they can definitely lead a project down the wrong path.

Analytics applications that can deliver a competitive advantage appear all along the supply chain decision spectrum—from targeted location-based marketing to optimizing supply chain inventories to enabling supplier risk assessment. While many companies have used it to extract new insights and create new forms of value, other companies have yet to leverage big data to transform their supply chain operations. This article examines how leading companies use big data analytics to drive their supply chains and offers a framework for implementation based on lessons learned.

All through the lower forms at the Roan School in Blackheath, London SE3, I was aware of the existence of Braithwaite Camp. It had been started in 1930 by a former headmaster of the school, Mr Arthur Hope, on land which he had bought with his own money. But I was not keen on camping; during my time in the Cubs and Scouts I had successfully avoided spending a single night under canvas. Braithwaite I knew was different, being a collection of huts. So by the time I had reached the Sixth Form I decided I could not to stave it off any longer. I put my name down to be one of the four 'seniors' to go to the Whitsun Braithwaite Camp - this was in June 1962. That week for me was truly a rite-of-passage. I had never been away from home before and certainly never travelled north of Watford (which we folk who lived on the south side of the Thames thought of as somewhere in Iceland). All my childhood holidays had been spent in Devon and Cornwall. We went fell-walking every day: Cat Bells, Grisedale Pike, Grasmoor, etc. We even struck out for Helvellyn one day but turned back when the rain set in good and proper. I swam in Grisedale Beck, and had my first ever pint in Braithwaite village pub - under age, of course. The junior boys whom we kind-of supervised were a lively bunch and we had a lot of laughs. The three masters who came with us were great too; it was good to see them in relaxed and 'off duty' mode. I called in at the Memorial Camp in 1990. One of the four original huts was still standing, but the rest had been replaced by the magnificent structure that today's visitors know and use. It is a wonderful facility. A warm vote of thanks is due to Arthur Hope, I think.

There are few more morally and emotionally fraught questions than when it is right to withdraw treatment from very prematurely born babies. So the Nuffield Council on Bioethics deserves credit for analysing this subject in a scientific and dispassionate way. But the Council's suggestion that babies born after only 22 weeks in the womb should not be resuscitated or given intensive care must be the starting point for this debate, not the final destination.
There is an irony here in that the present informal system of doctors and parents deciding when to withdraw treatment has actually been working rather well. Agreement has been reached in the vast majority of cases. But there have been some high-profile cases in which this has not been the case. And we must sadly assume that the number of disagreements will grow as medical advances mean ever more severely premature babies are kept alive. The case for firmer rules on when care should be withdrawn is growing.
If guidelines are inevitable, they must be framed sensitively. The judgements of doctors must not be treated as infallible; medical professionals have often been proved wrong on questions of survival. Equally, while heavy weight must be given to the demands of parents, it has to be recognised that they are often in a traumatised state and ill-equipped to make life-or-death decisions. Recourse to the courts, however, should be strongly discouraged.
Underpinning any new rules must be a strong presumption of the right to life. And given that many premature babies grow up with severe disabilities, they must also make it explicit that the life of a disabled child is worth every bit as much as that of a healthy child. Doctors are entitled to their medical opinion on a baby's level of suffering, but it is not their place to judge whether a child's life will be worth living or not.
This debate highlights other difficult issues. The fact that more extremely premature babies are being born and surviving raises new questions about our abortion laws, which allow the termination of a baby up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy. And it throws a spotlight on to the lack of health, education and support facilities for disabled children and their parents. These children are expensive to raise and place a heavy emotional burden on their carers, yet the social, medical and financial infrastructure to deal with their growing numbers is, at best, patchy.
The moral questions do not melt away when a very premature baby leaves hospital. These children do not merely have a right to life. They have a right to play a full part in our society. Too many are being denied that opportunity at the moment.Reuse content

Is Sleeping on Your Back While Pregnant Safe?
January 19, 2016
Is sleeping on your back while pregnant safe? Getting enough quality sleep during your pregnancy can be hard enough without added worry that certain sleeping positions will harm you or your baby. The sleep experts at DUXIANA® can help allay your fears of sleeping on your back while pregnant.
Although it is not ideal to sleep on your back during your pregnancy, there is little research to prove that it will have serious negative effects. If you've seen frightening headlines connecting stillbirth to sleeping on your back while pregnant, you should take them with a grain of salt. The top study that showed a slight correlation was done on an extremely small sample of women and could not control for certain factors (read this UK National Health Service article for a thorough run down on the inconclusive results that prove sleep positions affect risk of stillbirth).
So, there is no strong research to support that sleeping on your back while pregnant will negatively affect your pregnancy, however there are still some concerns:
In addition to being less than ideal for different parts of your body, sleeping on your back while pregnant is simply uncomfortable. You'll probably feel best sleeping on your side with your knees bent, especially as your pregnancy progresses and your belly gets bigger. Explore more sleeping positions during pregnancy and decide which is right for you.
Pregnancy is often a time when women begin to question whether their bed is really as comfortable and supportive as it could be. Not only is it more difficult to sleep comfortably, but falling asleep might be more difficult as well, as your body fights to relax against the backdrop of the everyday aches and pains of pregnancy. You need a bed that can help tired muscles relax so you can fall asleep quicker and stay that way. Consider whether the DUX Bed could offer you the customizable support you need. Our patented Pascal® component system allows you to customize your level of support throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
The Informed Sleeper endeavors to become your sole information resource for better health through deeper sleep.
