I toss and turn a lot and had some difficulty with my previous 4" memory foam mattress topper (almost having to lift myself up to roll over at night). Has anyone had any trouble rolling over with the soft mattress? I think I want to purchase the soft, but I'm worried about having that same problem.

Great mattress for an amazing price I was skeptical when I ordered this mattress more than a year ago due to the price but it has held up and is as comfortable as the $1,000.00 mattress set we bought for our vacation home the year before. My husband and I are not small people and this mattress gives our backs the support we need for a good nights sleep.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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..

Questions & Answers
Hello crmeichtry, I hope your day is going well. I started reading the 2000 plus reviews until I felt comfortable with my answer. You are not going to sink into this so much that it will be a problem rolling over. There were some who said it was too soft, but the majority who purchased said it was the correct firmness. Thank you for shopping with us.
I just got my mattress and tried to flatten it out, but it is curving up on both sides. It almost feels frozen. I am walking on it, but that does not seem to be helping. Did anyone else experience this? Please help.
Hello taylor4242, memory foam is temperature-sensitive. If the room you currently have your mattress in is very cold it may affect the way it expands additionally cold temperatures can cause your mattress to feel more firm. If you feel you may have received a damaged/ defective product please contact our Customer Care at 1-800-The-BIG-O (843-2446) to assist with the replacement, or return. Thank you for shopping with us.

I have never used a memory foam mattress before and recently ordered this one. I set it up yesterday and slept on it last night, and gosh, is it hot! I only had a few hours of sleep and woke up because of the heat. I am now worried about how I can sleep on this mattress (which is otherwise comfortable) after spending a few hundred bucks. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
This mattress never felt hot to me. It is of the right firmness and extremely comfortable. All of my guests love it!
Hello supersonic_528, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
I purchased this same mattress in firm in May 2014, and then another (firm as well) just 3 weeks ago because I loved the first so much. This second one is way to soft causing me back aches every night. I left it out for 72 hours to take shape. Has anything changed over a few months? Could it be possible that this mattress is not really firm. I'm extremely disappointed.
We are still researching this and should have the answer shortly.
I bought three of these mattress two queen and one king and they are all great! I ordered from also!
Hello Anonymous, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
What is the manufacturing warranty length?
Hi atstoney79, thank you for your inquiry! This memory foam mattress has a Ten Year Platinum Protection Service Plan for Mattresses . You can view the warranty information by selecting the option you wish to purchase, then below that the warranty option becomes available to view. Hope this helps, have a great day!
Does this mattress soften over time or stay pretty consistent from day 1 in softness/support/firmness? I've heard the more popular brands of memory foam mattresses have a sort of break in that gets softer, which could make a difference in firmness level to purchase now.
We have both, actually 3 of these mattresses. The first one we purchased about 5 years ago for our bedroom and it looks and feels brand new.
I've had this mattress for many years now. We had to buy a topper to soften the top for me. It was too stiff. The mattress is now in the guest room with the topper and it's perfect for that room because the guests won't overstay their welcome. You get what you pay for this is a good example of that. It's not very comfortable now.
I have had this mattress in firm for over 5 years never, ever had any issues with it. Perfect since day 1 and never changed. I have a platform bed.
This mattress is very good quality. I have had it for a very long time now, several years, and it is still in great shape and comfortable.
Are you supposed to flip these mattresses?
I flip to the other side and top to bottom.....have it two years and it still great....in my view every 6 months is a good idea need it or not!
Does this mattress contain formaldehyde?
Hello anonymous, this mattress does not contain formaldehyde. Thank you for shopping with us!
I love this mattress - we had no odor problems at all.
Yes I turn this mattress, you should do that with any mattress. Do not turn it but rotate it top to bottom.
Will it hurt to leave mattress in packaging until bed arrives in a few weeks? Then unwrap when ready to use 72 hours in advance?
Hello phillism, this mattress must be unpackaged within 72 hours. Failure to do so will void any warranty and the mattress will not be able to reach it's original shape. Thanks for shopping with us! L.B.
No. It is vacuum sealed and it does not harm anything to leave it wrapped
Ours was left in the garage for 3 weeks before we opened it. No harm done.
Can the bed be inflated to different levels for 2 people or is it one firmness across the entire mattress?
According to the hang tag, one side is supposedly firmer than the other, with the location of the hang tag your point of orientation. However, I can't perceive a difference.
this bed does not inflate - it is solid foam. The varying degrees of firmness refer to the topside and underside of the entire mattress - not the right or left side.

Memory Foam Mattress Topper Fact Sheet
If you want to increase the comfort level of your bed without replacing your mattress, memory foam mattress toppers are a terrific solution. Memory foam has gained popularity thanks to its ability to provide personalized conditions for every sleep type. You'll sleep comfortably whether you prefer a firm or soft mattress. Learn more with this memory foam mattress topper fact sheet.
How to Select a Memory Foam Mattress
If you wake up with sore shoulders or an aching back, your old mattress is probably to blame. When you upgrade to a memory foam mattress, you'll enjoy comfortable nights on the viscoelastic foam that was originally developed by NASA scientists. To make sure you get the best mattress for your needs, you'll want to consider these factors while you're online shopping for a memory foam mattress.
Best Pillow-top Mattresses for Back Pain
The key to a good night's sleep when you have chronic back pain is as simple as choosing a good pillow-top mattress. Choosing the best mattress involves knowledge of your personal needs and preferences. To get a comfortable night's sleep, start by choosing a pillow-top mattress made from the right materials for you. Next, choose your preferred thickness. Finally, have firm sleep support underneath the cushions of the pillow-top. Below, you'll learn the best pillow-top mattresses for back pain. Choose the materials: Pillow-top mattresses are made from a variety of materials, so choosing the one that is right for you can make all the difference in the world. People with muscle pain should consider down pillow-top mattresses, which provide a cocoon to sleep in. Those with back issues will generally prefer memory foam pillow-top mattresses, which conform to the body and offer consistent support to areas like the lower back. However, it is important to check the manufacturer's information regarding the recommended weight allowances for these types of pillow-tops. Consumers who are heavier than the recommendations may find that the pillow-top cushion compresses in uncomfortable ways, leaving the mattress lumpy. Determine the thickness: Pillow-top mattresses come in a variety of thicknesses, from just 2 inches to 8 or more inches deep. Like choosing the right materials for your pillow-top, choosing the right depth is vital to getting a good night's sleep. Thinner pillow-top mattresses will allow more of the support from the remainder of the mattress to come through and will not develop body indentations as pronounced as those in a deep pillow-top. Pillow-top mattresses that are too soft may fail to provide back support and cause an increase in back pain. However, deep pillow-top mattresses are excellent for customers who suffer from fibromyalgia or other chronic pain. Check the warranty: Just as you would with any other purchases of its size, check the warranty of your pillow-top mattress. Most manufacturers will provide limited, pro-rated replacement warranties for manufacturer's defects, and some will provide a "comfort guarantee." Others may have specific conditions that must be met in order to maintain the warranty, such as having a boxed spring by the same manufacturer. Take note of any special conditions for the warranty and keep the paperwork. View All Mattresses Back to Guides Directory View All Mattresses
Facts about Memory Foam Infused with Latex
While there are many mattress toppers that claim to provide comfort, latex memory foam provides a firm, durable, breathable material that relieves pain and draws you into deep, restful sleep. Check out the facts: There are five reasons memory foam with latex is a good option for you.
Air Mattresses vs Memory Foam Mattresses
With so many different types of mattresses available, it can be difficult for buyers to decide which one will best suit their needs. Two of the most popular mattress construction technologies are air-filled cores and memory foam. When comparing these two products, consider price, comfort and durability before making a final selection.
Best Mattresses for Every Sleeping Position
A mattress is one of the most important purchases you can make because you spend hours each day sleeping and rejuvenating for the next day. While shopping for a new mattress, keep in mind the typical sleeping positions you have to ensure you will find the right mattress to help with bone or joint alignment. Below, you'll learn the best mattresses for every sleeping position. Sleeping on your back: If you primarily sleep on your back, you need to find a mattress with support to prevent pain in the lower back. Sleeping on a mattress that does not have enough support causes muscle strain in the back and increases the chance you will assume a poor posture during sleep, leaving you achy in the morning. The best mattresses for this sleeping position have at least 400 to 800 14-gauge coils. Innerspring mattresses feature firm coils to support the back yet still mold to the curvature of the spine. Mattresses with box springs are ideal for those who sleep on their backs because they stabilize weight, offering back support and increasing the life of the bedding. Sleeping on your stomach: While sleeping on your stomach is comfortable, it also increases pressure and strain on parts of the body like the neck or back. Soft mattresses are the best for those who sleep on their stomachs. Look for mattresses that have 300 to 400 14-gauge coils, which will ensure the mattress is soft and comfortable. If you must use a pillow, look into buying a memory foam style, which molds to the head and neck to stabilize them during sleep. Sleeping on your side: Side sleeping is one of the most common positions on a mattress, and it may also be one of the hardest positions to shop for. Since you lay on your side, there is pressure on the shoulders and hips, which could make a firm mattress uncomfortable for sleeping. A mattress that is too soft is often not supportive enough to keep the spine in proper alignment. The ideal mattress for this position is one that has supportive coils, with a memory foam topper to provide comfort to the joints of the body.

Best Reasons to Buy Firm Baby Crib Mattresses
When you're shopping for baby crib mattresses, safety should always come first. A soft mattress may make sleeping more comfortable for you, but the same could be hazardous, even deadly, for your infant. Baby crib mattresses should be firm -- as firm as possible -- to keep your little one safe during the night or daytime naps. You may be tempted towards the soft baby crib mattresses for your child, thinking that he'll be more comfortable. Babies, however, don't need the same joint support as adults, but they do need baby crib mattresses that reduce the risk of harm from their baby furniture while they sleep. There are many reasons to buy a firm baby mattress, and the following tips can help you determine what to look for.

How to Buy Sheets to Fit a Pillow-Top Mattress
Everyone knows that pillow-top mattresses are designed for additional softness and comfort. Due to the padding, pillow-top mattresses have more depth than regular mattresses. The height of the padding varies, but generally, manufacturers make pillow-top mattresses in depths varying from 7 to 22 inches. Specially made deep-pocket sheets for pillow-top mattresses are available; however, it is important to know the depth of your mattress before purchasing sheets. Here's how to buy the best sheets to fit your pillow-top mattress.
FAQs about your Latex Mattress
If you're looking to upgrade to a latex mattress or have already bought one, you may have a few questions.

How to Clean Memory Foam Mattresses
A soft and comfortable memory foam mattress is a treat to sleep on -- until a drink is spilled on it or a pet has an accident on it. While it may seem impossible to clean, you don't have to be intimidated. Memory foam mattresses are actually easy to clean, and you'll have positive results if you follow the instructions. All you need are a few household products and some time for cleaning it thoroughly.
How to Choose a Mattress for Back Pain
There's not a single mattress type that's best for back pain. While studies suggest that a medium-firm mattress is most likely to soothe a sore spine, your mileage may vary: one person's back problem can respond well to a memory foam mattress, while another person might feel best on a model with inner springs. If you're on the hunt for some bedding to help alleviate a sore body, take a look below to learn how to choose a mattress for back pain.
Best-selling Mattresses
There are basically three common types of mattresses used today: spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses, inflatable mattresses and feather beds. Each type has its own benefits. A mattress pad is a less expensive way to add comfort to your bed than purchasing a whole new mattress. With that said, if your mattress is lumpy or saggy, a mattress topper probably won't make much difference. If it is good, though, you have many different choices in material, price, and comfort. Whatever you get, just make sure you purchase the right size for your bed frame. Take a look below to learn more about the best-selling mattresses on the market.
How to Select a Mattress Set
If you're shopping for a new mattress, then you're about to make an important decision. You spend anywhere from six to nine hours each night in your bed, and your mattress can affect the quality of your sleep and overall well-being. Follow these instructions to pick the right mattress set for a perfect night's sleep.
How to Select a Box Spring
Many people underestimate the importance of a good box spring, but as the foundation of the bed, it can be just as vital to the comfort of your mattress set as the mattress. Before purchasing a box spring, it's necessary to think about size, quality and value, as well as comfort. The right box spring can make or break a mattress purchase, so shop wisely and take the time to select the box spring that's right for your bed. To select a box spring, good research and patient shopping are the keys to success.
How to Choose a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
Memory foam, also called "temper foam," was first developed by NASA in the mid-1960s to ensure passenger comfort and protection in airplane seats. Memory foam mattress toppers mold to the body, and then slowly spring back to their original shape. This makes them ideal for those with back or joint pain. However, not all memory foam mattress toppers are the same. Here's how to choose one that will best suit your needs.
Gel Memory Foam Buying Guide
Are you having trouble sleeping? Gel memory foam could be the solution. It's similar to traditional memory foam, but the gel adds benefits that many people find to be the secret to comfortable, restful sleep. Because it's a new product, you may not be sure what to look for when you're shopping. This information will help you find the gel memory foam mattress topper, pillow, or mattress that could help you get a better night's sleep -- every night.
How to Clean a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
When you're deep cleaning your home, you may want to pay special attention to your bed. A memory foam mattress topper can completely transform even the most uncomfortable mattress, but accidents do happen, and an accumulation of dust in even the most comfortable bed can prevent a good night's sleep. If it's time to freshen up your mattress topper, you may be wondering how it's done. Memory foam absorbs water while it is being washed; however, it is possible to wash it efficiently.

It all feels a little bit surreal at this point. Let me explain some of the things I've learned about the book production business and you'll see why. Last year at this time the book process felt very real and was constantly on my mind and my kitchen table. Starting September 2012 I made all 12 quilts (with some help on the quilting part) and wrote the content for the book.
Putting in the last biding stitches on the last quilt... |
I'm excited to share more about this book and the quilts it contains over the next few months prior to it's release. The basic premise is based on short-cuts in quilting. Whether you're someone who has little time to sew because you have a house full of little people who need you, or you have a full-time job, or you just need a quick quilt project, I hope this book will be a good resource for quilts you can be proud of. AND that will fool your friends and family into thinking you spent way more time and cut out way more tiny pieces of fabric than you really did.
I'm still in a little bit of awe that this is real. I certainly couldn't have happened without the support of my family, a few extra nights of take-out pizza, and the encouragement so many of you have shown me here. A huge thank you!
The movie rights for this book are still up for grabs at this point. Although I don't think I could let it get into the hands of Quentin Tarantino - I mean could you imagine the rotary cutter scenes in his version? In the mean time, watch for the book Fabulously Fast Quilts due out April 2014!

Sadly, we no longer have the Marucci Black Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBB148) available in the 32"/24 oz size. That exact model has actually been discontinued from our website since this particular bat is no longer being produced by Marucci.
Does it have to be a certain temperature to use this bat?
We do not recommend using any non-wood bat, including the Marucci Black Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBB148), in temperatures below 55°F (13°C). In those temperatures, the ball becomes much more dense and could damage or shorten the useful life of your bat. Composite can crack, and alloy can dent, so neither material is proven to be better in cold weather, unfortunately.
What does Senior League mean? My son is 11 years old and plays USSSA baseball. Can he use this bat?
Senior League is a synonym for Youth Big Barrel. Yes, your son can use the Marucci Black Senior League Baseball Bat (MSBB148). The Marucci Black is designed for USSSA play.
Product Description
Introducing the classiest bat to ever hit the field, the Marucci Black. Combining a longer barrel with big league balance and a sleek design, the Black offers everything players could want in a top of the line bat. Constructed using Marucci's patented new two-piece design, the Black fuses an AZ3000 Alloy barrel with a composite handle. The composite handle on the Black is made extra stiff so that players can hit for maximum power, while Marucci's AZ3000 Alloy is ultra-responsive and provides the industry's best combination of performance and durability. The barrel on the black is made extra-long which results in a larger sweet spot and increased trampoline effect. The Black also features unprecedented big league balance, which means that players don't have to sacrifice swing speed for a bigger barrel. A reduced M.O.I. gives the bat a lighter swing weight for increased swing velocity, and ultimately more power. Marucci also brings their popular anti-vibration knob to the Black which, combined with the bat's two-piece construction, effectively eliminates negative vibration to give players maximum confidence and comfort at the plate. Marucci: Taking Baseball By Storm! The Black features the USSSA 1.15 BPF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

You can sense that the late-season push is already happening and the top 7 seeds are trying to pull away from everyone in that 43-39 point pack, get away from Detroit and lock up the playoff spot.
Blues HAVE to stay in that top pack. This win streak has been invaluable and need to finish strong here on the road against Minnesota and Columbus and then come home for the final stretch.
LOVE this part of the year for hockey

26. A trap to hurt
One Tuesday in 1993, a customer in Galt Market ordered 100 pieces of a figuring item. He used to charge a high profit margin in his retail business, so his sales was slower than others. In his purchasing order, it used to be one or two pieces for each item, six utmost. One hundred pieces was quite unusual. Anyway, it was a big order, I was happy.
On Monday, I went to the storage to pick up his porcelain order. The storage area was calm. Usually when I went there, two men would come, too, to the right hand room next to me. They left when I left. This day, they didn't show. Instead, a black man came to the left hand room which used to be locked. He quickly opened the door, went in, then rushed out to his car and speeded away. What impressed me was his panic stricken face. It looked like there was a monster inside the room. The scene of two black girls in Supreme Court flashed into my mind. (See story of '18. Portable microwave shooting instrument') Black people were used to do the most dangerous mission. I realized there was a trap set inside. The big order was designed to lure me in. I left the storage house right away.
Next day, when I told my customer I didn't bring his ordered porcelain figuring to him, he was unhappy. He kept complain until I couldn't help to tell him the whole story. I told him I thought there might be a strong radioactive field waiting for me in storage room and my life was threatened. He was shocked apparently. Then said he was sorry to hear that and didn't expect there was such a development.
Next Tuesday, when I met him, he talked about this again. He said law enforcement agent might use something to trace and it would not harm health and people even could eat it as a tracer in medical study. Obviously this was what law enforcement agent told him to cover their plot. And this was the first time I learnt the English word 'tracer'.
I had several such events that year, and it at last led me quit the Flea market career. How could I do business while I could not enter my own warehouse
27. Quit the job
When I first found them surveying me by helicopter and infra-scanner, I laughed at them. I was happy on my discovery. I believed at last, after such a thorough investigation, they would know I was an innocent man.
Then, after the isotope money hurt my health and I complained. I had more new discovery. But I was unable to laugh anymore, I was horrible to find that I became a murder target. Government office would not help. I visited some legal service organization. When they heard the word of 'DEA' and 'FBI', they turned their face away. Business turned down, I even dared not go into my own warehouse. In October 1993, news paper said Mrs. Chen's drug case would be sentenced late that month. Watching the rifle gun laid beside my space, I had a feeling there would be a violent end for me. They wouldn't let me alive because I knew too much of their criminal activities. In middle October, I quit the flea market. And I was surprised to see that court postponed the sentence of Mrs. Chen's case, too, until I left for China.
My tenant introduced me to work as a temporary driver in his company. It's a software company. In early 1994, company staff said there was a job opening. I took the offer. The job was to copy and file software document. That day I started my work in copy machine room. There was a new copy machine sent in that morning. The copy machine company sent it in for demonstration. I worked alone in that room. Sometime later I felt a strong dizziness and warm feeling. I hurried out to file the documents in other room. Soon, I heard a staff yelled, 'Malfunction'. He tried to use new machine but found it didn't work. I quit the new job that same day. Worked only 4 hours. I have not applied for a job since. I don't want to quit after just working several hours. It's no good to me as well as to employers.
28. My wife intimidated
When my wife first heard my words that I was under surveillance of law enforcement agent, she laughed at me:" If little figure like you are the target of surveillance, then those agents have too much work to do."
One night, when I went out, I found a neighborhood house installed a motion detector lamp which reacted to my movement. It was about 70 feet away, so was not very bright, but it lit up my whole parking space. I told my wife. She was suspicious on this information and took a test. She walked out, the lamp lit up. After she came in, I tested with my hand and found it was so sensitive that it worked even with a palm's movement. My wife and I in turn tested the lamp by stretching out our hands from house. Like children playing game. Several times later, the lamp was off. Agent who monitored us found we were testing their lamp, switched it off. My wife kept in silence with a straight face. She didn't say anything but I could feel she was shocked.
Sometime after drug case happened, a tenant moved in my next door neighborhood. My window was towards to the lane. At night I always heard his automobile drove in to the garage. I noticed the time he came was about 11 o'clock. I thought if he was the one who monitored me at night, then he should work no more than eight hours. Next morning I got up early to watch. Really he left at seven o'clock. For days he worked on that schedule. I told my wife the new discovery. "He works night shift."
Then I could not hear the sound of his car any more. I found he started parking his car on street. Sometimes he was picked up by another driver. Time schedule was still the same. They eavesdropped my talking and changed their way. Such events happened several times. I, too, change my way. I wrote down on paper the new discovery.
At first my wife read my new discovery with smile. Sometime later, she refused to read my notes any more. She pushed my paper away with scary, "I don't want to read it". I was puzzled by her change. After several refusal, I realized she was intimidated. Agents apparently had interviewed her and asked what I had written on paper. I had a feeling that I lived in a 'spy' country. They vastly use informants to cross monitor each other. I could even not trust my wife.
29. "I am you, American."
In late 1993 and 1994, I worked as a driver for a software company. Their customers were mainly from China. One day, I picked up a customer from airport and accompanied him to the hotel. We talked about US and I told him my bitter experience. And how they delivered the word that they killed President Kennedy. He was a little nervous and said, "Please don't talk about that issue."
Next day, when I met him again, he asked me "Did you read the newspaper? The executive of Disneyland died of a helicopter accident". I was surprised that he paid attention to the forbidden issue and thought it might be another intimidation from Federal law enforcement agent. China opened to the world just for a short time then. Customers from China were interested in travelling and shopping for merchandise which was in shortage in their country. I never saw them reading newspaper. And the dead executive of Disneyland was competing fiercely with another one for the post of Chief executive then.
About that time, I had read an article from newspaper talked about Walt Disney. What impressed me was that he was an informant of FBI. He hated Union. He was evaluated as a good informant because he entertained FBI agents and their family free to Disneyland. Through him FBI could handle a large number of his employees. It was an important post. So when the helicopter accident happened, I felt that might be a work of FBI. They sent a candidate of their own to that VIP post through a violent plot.
Through my own experience, I feel US has became a 'spy country'. I started to view things from another angle. When Leuwinsky scandal happened and Linda Trip said in her speech,"I am you, American." I couldn't help to laugh. She thought many people were the same as her. She may be right. In this country, informant are vastly used by Federal law enforcement agency.
30. Monitor and be monitored
In 1998, I read a book 'Study abroad in US'.( Chinese edition ) Author Qian Ning was a Chinese student studying 'News media ' in US. He visited many Chinese students during school vacation and wrote this book. He wrote, that most Chinese students said they felt US was a democratic country. They didn't feel that they were monitored by American government. Anyhow, there was exception. A man insisted that government monitoring foreign students. He had such an experience. Once he would take a vacation back to China. The night before his leaving, he told his wife (or friend?) to pack for their journey. "Take care, there is top secret documents inside." He said. That was a joke. Next day in airport, His luggage was searched thoroughly. He knew it was his joke caused it. Had he not made that joke, he would have joined that majority and won't say that foreign students were monitored.
Even Wen Ho Lee, once was thought a spy suspect, has been a government informant as well as his wife. They reported the contact of their Chinese counterpart. I think that was why Lee was cooperative at first, talk everything with laugh to agents until he was threatened by FBI agent that if he would not admit he was a spy he could be sentenced to death. Since then he was silenced. This remind me of the two black girls who were placed in dangerous position, (see '18. Portable microwave shooting instrument' ) I think they thought they worked for law enforcement agency without knowing the truth. Lee was lucky to get a good lawyer. Otherwise there was possibility he was still in jail. But compare to Ron and Mrs. Churchill, they were much better. Ron and Mrs. Churchill could never have dreamed of that they died in hands of people they worked for.

Recipe by barbara castodio
"This recipe is over 100 years old. My sister-in-law's grandmother said it was a no-fail recipe. It's the best I ever had."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups shortening
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 egg
1/2 cup water
This is a flavorful crust, perfectly suited to fruit pies. My only criticism is that it makes ALMOST enough for two, 2-crust pies...but not QUITE enough. This recipe as written, in my view, would make 3-single crust pie crusts. It was a stretch to make two double-crust pies, and I think this would have been particularly difficult for a novice baker. It would be better had the recipe indicated the yield.
I found this difficult to work with, and not all that tasty. I'll stick to my butter crusts ...

I've recently entered the world of pie making and this was my first pie crust ever (with my first apple pie - Grandma Ople's found in Allrecipes as well). I've heard so many horror stories and thought I'd just use the store bought ready made dough that you just lay in a pan and bake - it was good (enough) when I used it for my first pie (pecan). But my friend urged me to just try to roll out my own. And, I am no longer afraid! This was so easy to make and handle, and I am still shocked it came out so pretty (I posted a pic). I used butter flavor Crisco shortening as suggested and brushed the pie with lightly beaten egg before baking. Crust was super flaky, but sturdy enough. I am going to use this again and again - have plans for a pot pie dinner using this crust. (I do agree this recipe only makes enough for 1 double crust and 1 single crust pie. I'm making another pecan with the single crust I have left.) Anyone want the remaining ready-made pie crust I have in the freezer? :-) EDIT: I've now made 5 pies using this crust - and EVERYONE raves about this crust. I'm SO happy that I used this in my first attempts with pie crust because I don't need to keep trying recipes. Seriously, I'm not even a bread/crust person but i CRAVE this pie crust! A pie crust CAN totally make a pie!
This makes a very tender, flaky and flavorful crust. I had used the same pie crust recipe for 25 years with only good results and compliments. Very similar, but mine did not include the egg. But I like to try new things sometimes, so I thought I would give this recipe a try. Now, I will be using this recipe all the time. I found that since my eggs were extra large, I did not need to add all the liquid. Next time I will beat the egg into only 1/4 cup ice water, sprinkle into the flour mixture, mix lightly and then add more ice water, if needed. Thank you for posting!
Ruth's Grandma and I must have been related. I use this recipe and love it - I also divide the crust (if not using all), wrap in plastic wrap and put in freezer bag for later use. Good to have on hand!
Absolutely Fabulous! Sugar gives the crust a great crunch and makes sure it isn't tasteless like some other recipes i've tried! Try it!
I made a peach pie with this crust recipe, and everyone raved about it! I used butter-flavored shortening, and the crust was tender and flaky. The total baking time for my double crust pie was around 46 minutes. This has gone into my recipe box!
Simply THE best pie crust! It's easy to throw together, easy to handle, tastes yummy, and looks beautiful, turning a nice golden brown. I do agree with some, concerning the odd amount of dough the recipe produces. I ended up just making my French apple pie's crust a little thicker. The crust is satisfyingly flakey and 'authentic,' but for those who are making a pie with little filling, it would be best not to use to much, otherwise this crust could overwhelm the flavor. just stick the leftovers in the freezer and your all set for next time!

Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) began his work in glass with the same tools and ingredients that had been used by artisans for thousands of years before him. Tiffany took the science of glassmaking, however, and elevated it to an art form of new brilliance and beauty. Under his watch, teams of talented designers and craftspeople translated Tiffany's all-encompassing vision into some of the most memorable glass creations of our time. Tiffany's studio system was not a simple enterprise; he needed specialized employees—a hierarchy of artists and artisans—to accomplish his goals. This exhibition, updated and reinstalled on September 4, 2012, addresses the processes that Tiffany's many companies used to produce everything from glass mosaics and molded buttons to leaded-glass lamps and windows.
The Arts window by J. & R. Lamb Studios is the centerpiece of this major new exhibition that illustrates the rich diversity of styles that made up the aesthetic environment of the late 19th century in both Europe and America. Lamb Studios, a prominent American glasshouse of the era, exhibited the 1894 neoclassical window widely. In preparation for its debut at the Morse, the window, more than eight feet in diameter, underwent extensive conservation. The installation features 20 additional leaded-glass windows and selections of art glass, pottery, and furniture, a number of which also have never been exhibited. Other windows on view—some avant-garde, others reviving the past—include examples by Tiffany Studios, John LaFarge, Frank Lloyd Wright, Edward Burne-Jones, Donald MacDonald, and Heaton, Butler & Bayne.
In 1905 Elizabeth Owens Morse, the daughter of Charles Hosmer Morse and Martha Owens Morse, married Richard Genius. The gift registry of this socially prominent Chicago bride—entitled "The Bride Elect"—survives in the Morse Museum's archive, showing more than 250 gifts. Together these items provide a snapshot of the era, a glimpse into 1905 gift-giving traditions, and some insight into popular retail decisions made by wealthy consumers in the Chicago area. In this new exhibition, the Morse presents a representative group of the lovely gifts that survive from the Morse-Genius wedding, including Tiffany art glass, Rookwood pottery, and Gorham silver.
In this exhibit, the Museum debuts a selection from Harry C. Sigman's 2014 gift of 86 objects to the Morse. Sigman, a Los Angeles attorney, began collecting European and American decorative art in 1969, and his gift dovetails with the late 19th- and early 20th-century styles represented in the Morse collection. The donation includes art glass, pottery, metalwork, and furniture. Though comprised mainly of Jeannette and Hugh McKean's massive gift, the Morse collection has always been supported by generous individuals such as Harry Sigman whose contributions have helped it to grow in important ways. The finely crafted objects on view can be appreciated both individually and in the context of the Museum's entire collection.
Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was an Irish writer and poet who became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Wilde's retelling of the beheading of John the Baptist became the controversial play, Salomé, and was banned on the London stage in 1893. Illustrators have been attracted to its rhythmic prose and subject matter ever since. Oscar Wilde's Salomé: Illustrating Death and Desire presents the complete sets of the first and the most recent illustrations inspired by tragedy, including lithographs by symbolist artis Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898) and engravings by Barry Moser (b. 1940). Books and periodicals featuring illustrations by Louis Jou, André Derain, and Valenti Angelo, among others, will also be on view.
The painting "Wally", housed by the Vienna Leopold Museum, is among the most well-known works by Egon Schiele. The upcoming exhibition at the Leopold Museum seeks to uncover the person behind the portrait, Walburga "Wally" Neuzil (1894-1917), approaching her through artworks, autographs, photographs and documents. Featured in the presentation will be eminent paintings by Schiele, such as "Death and the Maiden", an important loan from the Belvedere, as well as drawings and watercolors by Schiele for which Wally acted as a model. The exhibition comprises works from the Leopold Museum, the Leopold Private Collection as well as loans from Austrian and international collections.
The exhibition examines the stages of Wally's life, her professions, from model to nurse, and tells the tale of a woman's fate in fin-de-siècle Vienna, between self-sacrifice and self-fulfillment, between a life without taboos and profound humanity.
Le Magazine Fèvres (spécialisé dans le domaine de la transformation du minerai en métal et du métal en objet) dédie son 50ème numéro à l'Art nouveau et la ferronnerie et aborde notamment le travail du fer d'Antoni Gaudi (article écrit par Luis Gueilburt, l'un de nos membres de Melilla) et de Victor Horta mais aussi son importance pour l'Ecole de Nancy.
Venice evokes the figure of the woman and the myth that fascinated d'Annunzio and his follies became the muse of the greatest artists of the time as Boldini, Bakst, by Marinetti in Balla, from Man Ray to Alberto Martini, Van Dongen Romain and Brooks.
Palazzo Fortuny in Venice, one of the "places" most loved by the Divine Marchesa, will be the site of the first extraordinary exhibition dedicated to Luisa Casati Stampa, the woman who in the early twentieth century, with the exaggerated makeup, the transgressive and eccentric performance and life over the top, he was able to transform itself into a work of art, a living legend, disturbing and surprising representation of modernity and avant-garde.
The exhibition, conceived by Daniela Ferretti, edited by Fabio Benzi and Gioia Mori, is co-produced by the Civic Museums Foundation of Venice and 24 ORE Cultura - Gruppo 24 Ore, has over one hundred works, including paintings, drawings, jewelry, sculptures, photographs and clothes from private collections and international museums.
The extraordinary collection of art works and portraits that were devoted to her or commissioned pieces will be on display in the exhibition come from private collections, such as the head of polychrome ceramic work of Renato Bertelli, The Marchesa Casati Romain and Brooks and sculpture by Paolo Troubetzkoy portrait of the Marchesa Casati with a greyhound. He subsequently joined by masterpieces from museums around the world such as Portrait of the Marchesa Casati by Giovanni Boldini GNAM of Rome, Marchesa Casati by Augustus Edwin John the Art Gallery of Ontario, the many portraits which he dedicated Alberto Martini, Lines of force landscape maiolicato of Giacomo Balla and jewelry by Cartier inspired her.
To note is the many photographs of Luisa Casati Stampa: from the shots of Gayne Adolphe de Meyer, Man Ray and Mariano Fortuny, to those stolen, when he lived in poverty in London, Cecil Beaton.
The exhibition, through constant references, reconstructs the social and artistic life of the crossed Luisa Casati Stampa: the gilded cage of high society encounter with Gabriele d'Annunzio - that forever changed and became a bond of love and friendship that lasted a lifetime - from the extravagant costumes, the practice of the occult period to arrive at the "futurist" Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in which he meets and marries the cause of the artistic movement, promoting artists and collecting their works , ending with economic ruin and exile in the British capital where he died in July 1957.
Three floors of Palazzo Fortuny "immerse" the visitor into the atmosphere in which he lived the Divine Marchesa that, for half a century, he was a living legend, a dark lady, a major art collector and patron, muse of the Symbolists, the Fauves, Futurists and surrealists: a myth that still inspires artists today and the great house of haute couture.

Overall Moderern Vampires Of The City has a slightly darker edge to it then the last two albums, but I'm glad to say that feel good factor of their music is still there in the main. There are no weak tracks here, but other stand out songs for myself are as follows: Unbelievers, Diane Young, Hannah Hunt, Everylasting Arms and Ya Hey.This is a contender for the best album of the year so far and I hope it gets the success it deserves.

This bag was exactly what I wanted! Carries well on the shoulder and is not heavy by hand.
The inside is roomy enough for an overnight bag and yet is perfect for a daytime bag as well.
The color is a nice navy and have received many compliments on it!

I have this bag in blue. For everyday wear the bag is awesome especially if you carry a lot of things or will eventually have to carry a lot of things. Bag is very big and roomy. Its has more of a casual look to it and the blue color is not as rich and shown on the website. Its more of a Pale Navy color kinda looks washed out navy...Bag is still awesome and i will be purchasing the black one as well.

I just got this bag and it is huge. I did not expect it to be so big. I'm 5.1...way too big for me. So, I had to return it. But I will get a mini tote because I did like how it looked. The material is nice and it seems to be of good quality. I got the blue one and the color looks darker than in the pictures. Over all I think it is a great bag!

I love my new Tory Burch tote! I can put everything in it that I need to go run my errrands, go to church, work, and out to eat. I love all the inside pockets! Everything I need to take with me fits very nicely in the deep inside and it feels like there is nothing in there-so light weight! I have gotten quite a few compliments on it! I would highly recommend it to anyone that likes to take a lot with them any where they go!

Where the rich people live
CNN — NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Despite all the talk of urban revitalization, suburbs still have a denser concentration of rich people than cities.
In America's suburbs, just over 6% of the households have incomes that put them in the top sliver of American earners, according to a study released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau. In city centers, less than 5% of households made the cut.
Not surprisingly, the study found that rich people tend to live near major population centers.
The Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk area of Connecticut, a region just north of New York City that's home to many a hedge fund, has the highest concentration of wealthy households in the country -- 17.9% of those in the area bring in more than $191,469 per year. That compares to 5% of households nationwide, according to the Census Bureau.
The bureau did its calculations based on metropolitan statistical areas, which are broad zones that lump poorer areas in with richer ones. Bridgeport isn't known for being particularly rich, but the towns surrounding it are.
Southern Connecticut was followed closely by the tech-heavy San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara region in California that's known as Silicon Valley. The Washington, D.C.-Arlington-Alexandria area came in third.
At the opposite end of the spectrum are mostly rural regions. Two statistical areas with the same name tied for having the lowest concentration of rich people -- Danville, Ill., and Danville Va. -- at 1.1%. Pine Bluff, Ark.; Steubenville, Ohio-Weirton, W.Va.; and Muskegon-Norton Shores, Mich. rounded out the bottom five.
Areas that fell outside the norm included regions in the country currently undergoing an energy boom. Counties near North Dakota's Bakken Shale, Colorado's Niobrara and Texas' Eagle Ford all had high concentrations of wealth.
The study did not take into account cost of living, which can significantly reduce or boost buying power in an area.

Monitoring Results from Baltimore, MD
RadNet Data
RadNet stationary air monitors measure gamma radiation emitted from airborne radioactive particles as they collect on the monitor's filter.
On this page:
Gamma Gross Count Rate
EPA uses RadNet monitors to track fluctuations in gamma radiation emitted from airborne radioactive particles at each of our sites. Tracking these changes over time gives a picture of the background (normal) levels and allows EPA scientists to detect any unusual changes.
You can see a more detailed view of gamma detection across nine different energy ranges in our Gamma Gross Count Rate (by Energy Range) Graph.
Notes on the Graph
- The Gamma Gross Count Rate shows how many gamma rays the monitor detects each minute.
- There may be gaps in the data due to instrument maintenance/repairs, telecommunication disruption, server unavailability or other technical issues.
- Gross gamma count rates may differ from monitor to monitor due to:
- Cosmic radiation (increases with altitude)
- Terrestrial radiation (types of radionuclides in the soil and building materials near the monitor)
- Precipitation (increases in the deposition of radon and thoron decay products deposited around the monitor)
- To view the individual data points shown on this graph, please use the query tool to search the RadNet database in EPA's Central Data Exchange.

The College Hews Z-616 VOL. XXVIII, No. 23 [ B. M. to be Scene Of Nursing School For College Grads Government Will Sponsor (School With Private Institutions BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1942 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1942 PRICE 10 CENTS Bryn Mawr College has been chosen by government agencies and several nursing schools as the site of a Summer School of Nurs- ing for college graduates. The ses- sion will run from June 15 to Sep- tember 13. In cooperation with the United States Public Health Service program, Training for Nurses . . . National Defense,] the school will act as a preliminary | step toward increasing the supply! of registered nurses to meet the' present critical shortage. The choice of Bryn Mawr result-! ed from recognition of the work j done by the Red Cross Nurses' Training Camp which was held here last summer. The institu- tions taking part are The College of Physicians and Surgeons, Co- lumbia University, New York; Johns Hopkins Hospital, Balti- more; Lincoln Hospital, New York; Russel Sage College, Troy, N. Y.; and the University of Rochester. Students at the Summer School will complete the preclinical work necessary for the supervised prac- tice of nursing care in the various cooperating institutions. By add- ing to the number of well-qualified candidates, these schools will be able to release graduate nurses for war work. Another advantage of the summer plan is in the centrali- zation of teaching which it would provide. ________ Continued on Page Three Congress Now Lacks Support From Voter Miss Stapleton Says Common Room, April 28.�Miss Stapleton, speaking for the � Alli- ance, placed the responsibility for the failure of the present Congress on the indifference of the electorate. Our government is presumably ai representative one, composed of the best and most advanced elements in the country. Congressional opposi- tion to the President should be a constructive influence in forming his policy, not merely a hindrance to necessary work. The present Congress hardly answers this de- scription, and the reason is to be found in the abdication of the elec- torate through inertia. A situa- tion has arisen which is possible only because large sections of the voters are indifferent. Congress cannot be representative when it is made up of men whom the voters do not know because of inadequate information and discussion. There is danger that this year's elections will send to Washington a Congress hostile to the Adminis- tration. Miss Stapleton emphasized the fact that Congress should not give unthinking support to the President, but a co-operation that is now absolutely essential. The future peace must not be made by men whose policy has been con- sistently isolationist, and whose records and public announcements do not promise a real change in viewpoint.

Radnor Holds Dinner In Honor of Schenck Specially contributed by Ethel Davis Radnor, April 23�Miss Taylor's interesting and reminiscent ac- count of her associations with Miss Schenck and the graduate school, delighted the dinner given by the Graduate Club in Miss Schenck's honor. Many of the changes in the graduate school which were instituted during the time of Miss Schenck's administration were noted by Miss Taylor. As an expression of their appre- ciation of Miss Schenck's service to and interest in the graduate school and students, the members of the Graduate Club presented Miss Schenck with a silver plate.

For instance, did you know that "the noble was a perfect chevalier only when he had chosen a woman of his opinions?" Or that he was "no longer a perfect cavalier the minute he had chosen the women of his dreams?" We'll let you think about that one a minute. Or some of us seemed to feel that "a noble was only a perfect knight when he loved a unique and pure Woman," but our very per- sonal opinion is that this is mak- ing things unduly tough for the male sex. As for the B. M. C. puritan element�it expressed it- self in no uncertain terms: "the nobleman was not a perfect gentle- man if he had not chosen the lady of his thoughts." On further examining the rela- tions of a knight toward his lady, we find that it is for her that he "jolted" in the tournament (cut- ting a graceful figure no doubt). With raised eyebrows we learn that "it is for her that he occupies sinful places," and for her that "he busied, his lance poised, the defiled." What's more, it has come to our attention (we hope it didn't to his lady's) that "he was always offer- ing his hand as a souvenir." We also found, thrown in some place, that he "ran on his hands and knees" when conquered!" A few notions about women were brought to light: "the prog- ress of woman's role is marked by the continual development of the Virgin Culture; on the earth as well as in the skt she climbs." The Romans had definite ideas about her: "the daughter, she was in the command of her father married in- to the rule (hand) of her hus- band." � You, never know, is what all this goes, to prove. By Anne Heyniger, '44 In its bright new blue and red paint, its newly set-up bar and tables and highly decorative soda- jerkeresses, the soda fountain made its successful debut last Mon- day night. Most popular request proved to be for chocolate milk shakes, the secret of which the managers learned first hand from a veteran Baltimore soda jerker. The three day supply of chocolate syrup was exhausted in half an hour. Reports are varied as to the pur- pose of the ten cent opening night cover charge: a new mixer, initial expenses, and a scholarship for the collector were all suggested.

There are shouts, screams, curses! Mr. Alwyne raps sharply on his music desk, Mr. Willoughby bangs chord after chord. Finally there is quiet. The Haverford "dragoons" return to their places to attempt another simple about- face. Perhaps a little martial at- mosphere would do the trick. Ah, that's it! Strong masculine hands suddenly grasp flashing swords and twist with mighty fervor, the hockey sticks and "bil!vs." Enter the Major brandishing a heavy warlike tool ... a green parasol. Blithe voices are heard in the di- rection of the switch-board and soon twenty doleful maidens tread a heavy, measure down three ele- vated planks. The object of their attention is the young man in the light blue shirt and suspenders. They cast "love-sick" glances on him, as they hastily gulp down the last scrap of ice cream from the Dixie cups. With Mr. Alwyne as chaperon, conversation hesitantly starts. It progresses slowly be- cause the speaker is undecided whether "a's" should have a Kan- sas or Cockney accent. Time passes and at last the girls are tenderly clutched by the "dra- goons." "Don't tell me I have to teach Haverford this, too!" Mr. Alwyne mutters as he glances at the ten foot space between embracer and embraeee. The space is narrowed �"Relax!" Mr. Alwyne shouts, then hastily regrets it.

FSUNow Stories
A collection of books on Irish folklore has been donated to the Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center in memory of Fairmont State University alumna Holly White.
In celebration of Fairmont State University's Sesquicentennial, the Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center plans to create an exhibit featuring FSU history and traditions this spring.
"The Folklife Center is proud to celebrate the history, traditions and culture of this great University through a special exhibit. We need assistance from the Falcon family to identify artifacts that would help share the stories and lore of the past 150 years," said Dr. Judy P. Byers, Executive Director of the Folklife Center.
This semester, Fairmont State University students have the unique opportunity to take classes toward a new Museum Studies minor from an accomplished guest faculty member.
Patricia Ruth Musick is teaching "Folk Arts," part of the Museum Studies minor, now housed in the College of Liberal Arts Department of Social Science.
