I got the recipe from a co-worker years ago...she used to bring it to all our potlucks at work. It was always a hit with everyone.
Sometimes she'd add lemon and lemon rind to the filling and when baked she'd sprinkle powdered sugar over the top.

For the first time, 23 ABC had the chance to ask Congressman McCarthy about his fiscal cliff vote
McCarthy talks about the financial trouble in D.C.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - For weeks, America teetered on the fiscal cliff, which was a double whammy of tax increases and billions in across-the-board spending cuts.
At the beginning of the year, a last minute deal was reached just as the country was about to go over the edge.
The vote in the House of Representatives was 257-167. Only 85 republicans voted to pass the deal.
"Some liked the approach of getting some permanency in taxes, from the standpoint that you got 98% permanent in the process, going forward," said Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the House Majority Whip. "So they fought a long time for that."
Other representatives, like McCarthy, thought they could get a better agreement. They were hoping for one that included cuts in spending.
"I voted no because it was not a balanced approach," said Rep. McCarthy. "I voted no because I did not think the bill was good enough from the standpoint that it made no cuts and added $4 trillion. We've got to change the tide and the debt that has been accumulating. Otherwise, our children will not have the opportunities we've had. This is a time we make a difference, and I'm willing to fight for that."
In the bill that passed, taxes will go up on those making more than $400,000 a year. If that did not pass, taxes would have gone up on everyone, but still McCarthy voted against the bill.
"If we passed the deadline nothing would have happened that we couldn't have solved," said McCarthy. "I actually believe we would have been in a stronger position. We could have done retroactive, we could have done a more balanced approach, and we could have done something the American public could have read before voted upon. What I saw come through was not something I would have supported."
As the debt ceiling approaches, congress is gearing up for another battle. It's one that surely won't be easy, but the congressman said despite that, he has a positive outlook about how the next four years will go.
"I think regardless if somebody is a republican or a democrat, they're an American first," said McCarthy. "That's what we should do. We should put America first. (We need the) best piece of legislation that could make this economy stronger and make our country stronger, instead of what is the best political gain. That's how I look at legislation. That's why I fight for what I fight for and how I vote."
As far as Kern County is concerned, McCarthy said there is small business and water legislation going through the House of Representatives that could affect people here at home.
He also said getting our economic house in order is still the most important issue.

Manor Theatre
208 Market Street,
1 person favorited this theater
Located in downtown Wilmington on Market Street, the Manor Theatre was one of the two movie houses that were opened in Wilmington's historic downtown district. The theatre closed in 1985. The building became the Rox nightclub.
Recent comments (view all 7 comments)
Once operated by the Stewart & Everett Theatre chain.
Visited Wilmington last spring (2008). It looked like The Manor was still there. "Hill's Wilmington (New Hanover County, NC) City Directory 1958" shows The Manor at 208 Market St. The business at 208 Market Street in 2008 was "The Rox" – some sort of entertainment venue. The facade looks different but it appears to be the same building that housed The Manor.
Also, The Manor would have been one of four downtown movie houses in 1958 per that city directory with the other three being The Bailey, The Colony and The Ritz (810 N. 4th St).
This was the website for the nightclub, but it no longer works.
Finally! Found a photo among my father's stuff!

Boy,Chuck 1231 that American Classic photo makes it look like a Dry cleaning store.What horrible facelift.I notice a "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY" one sheet on the front of the Manor.
This theatre got a lot of Disney product too.
Basically a lot of Disney re-releases played here.
The MANOR THEATRE opened on December 4,1941 with the main attraction "Three Cocketed Sailors".
Closed in 1985 under Piedmont Theatres.

Max Raabe Comes To Bass Concert Hall
Updated: Friday, February 10 2012, 02:31 PM CST
By Rob Faubion, Austin On Stage, www.austinonstage.com
The charismatic German cabaret crooner and his 12-piece big band ensemble, Palast Orchester, will transport Austinites to Berlin's Weimar-era cabaret scene of the 1920s and early '30s.
Texas Performing Arts will invite audience members to step into the streets of nocturnal Berlin with charismatic German cabaret crooner Max Raabe and his 12-piece big band ensemble, Palast Orchester, on Sunday, February 26 at Bass Concert Hall, starting at 7 p.m. Since 1986, Raabe and Palast Orchester have transported audiences to Berlin's Weimar-era cabaret scene of the 1920s and early '30s with nostalgic renditions of Cole Porter and George Gershwin - along with cabaret-style parodies of Britney Spears and Tom Jones.
The evening will be filled with romantic melodies such as "Leben ohne Liebe kannst du nicht (You Can't Live Without Love)," big band arrangements of standards such as "Amapola" and a variety of classics that include "Sie Sind mir so sympathisch (I Find You So Sympatico)." Slick, nostalgic and unmistakably modern, Raabe captures the timeless music with debonair charm and wit.
A singer of incredible range, Raabe has been critically praised for his singular ability to capture the cunning rasp of the cabaret singer, the confident belcanto hero, the oily melodiousness of the revue beau, the carefree timbre of early jazz, as well as the falsetto of ragtime - all backed by his stellar 12-member band. The cabaret star's art lies in revealing the enigmatic intelligence, ambiguity, musical power and complexity of the "German chansons" from the turbulent Weimar Republic
Tickets range from $24 to $32, with a limited number of $10 student tickets available. Discount tickets are also available for U.T. faculty and staff, seniors and military.
Bass Concert Hall is located at E. 23rd Street and Robert Dedman Drive on the University of Texas campus. Tickets are available at the Bass Concert Hall Box Office, all Texas Box Office outlets - including most H-E-B stores - by calling (512) 477-6060 or (800) 982-BEVO, and online at www.TexasPerformingArts.org.

To the locals, it came as no surprise when Ann Arbor, Mich., recently topped the list of America's healthiest cities ("Healthiest Hometown, No.1," AARP Magazine, September/October 2008). The cities were chosen based on 30 factors–everything from the percentage of residents who commute by walking and biking to the number of fast-food outlets per capita.
Ann Arbor is a 27-square-mile city that boasts 156 city parks, including trails, golf, canoe liveries, tennis courts and athletic fields. A whopping 86 percent of the city's 113,000 residents get regular exercise, according to AARP research. Ann Arbor is home to five colleges and universities, including the state's oldest–the University of Michigan–with over 40,000 students. Ann Arborites value education, and its public school system demonstrates this with consistently high graduation rates and test scores.
Several years ago, with a growing student population and five high schools near capacity, Ann Arbor Public Schools took advantage of an expansive, ideally located piece of land that the district had owned since the 1960s, and began the process of building a new high school. After years of planning, a multitude of community forums, building designs and redesigns, freshmen for the new Skyline High School's first class–the class of 2012–walked through its doors on September 2, 2008.
Laying Out A Plan
The school is situated on a 110-acre site, but the site development only occupies 65 acres. A four-story design-configuration was implemented to reduce the building's footprint on school grounds. The design team worked closely with community members, district officials and civil engineers to preserve the natural wooded areas, including a large "hardwood forest."
The forest features oak, maple, beech and other varieties of trees, some of which are over 50 years old. An additional wooded area to the south serves as a buffer between the school grounds and a nearby highway, M-14. The design team took advantage of the site's existing topography in unique ways. In particular, the school's football field (or "stadium field," as the district refers to it) seemed to be a perfect fit for an area adjacent to the school.
The field was literally built into a lower part of the site, below-grade. Unlike a typical school football stadium, with its tall, unsightly bleachers, Skyline's field design allows for seating to be built into the slope of the "bowl" configuration. In contrast with high schools of old, Skyline features a full athletic campus with a football/soccer/field hockey/lacrosse stadium, complete with spectator seating for 2,607 people. The campus includes a separate running track with an additional practice field in the center, tennis courts, a softball field, a baseball field and even a large, open green space for casual sports.
A Marriage Of Sorts
Members of the active, health-conscious Ann Arbor community saw the new school's athletic campus as a potential asset. During the planning process for the school, several community forums were held. It was the general feeling from neighbors that if district officials agreed, this new school and all of its amenities would be an asset–an extended backyard–that included state-of-the-art athletic facilities, all open for residents' use. In the newly expanded part of town where the school was built, neighboring Ann Arborites were lacking parks and recreation facilities, so the school's manicured fields, tennis courts and running track were seen as a positive to most.
Questions posed during the early community forums varied from, "Will the fields, tracks and courts be off-limits to area residents when school is in session?" to "Will the restrooms and concession building be available for the public to use?" The Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation Department had questions, too. It was interested in sharing Skyline's facilities and offering programs that would benefit from the school's fields and other surfaces.

TCU coach Gary Patterson was planning to use backup quarterback Trevone Boykin as a tailback when the 15th-ranked Horned Frogs play Iowa State.
Boykin will be in the backfield Saturday, but instead as the starting quarterback with Casey Pachall (PAW-hall) suspended indefinitely. Pachall was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
The Frogs (4-0) were looking at Boykin as a tailback option since they've already lost their leading rusher to a season-ending knee injury and current starter Matthew Tucker is dealing with an ankle injury.
TCU, which has won 12 games in a row, is playing its first Big 12 home game.
Boykin is 9-of-10 passing for 74 yards and a touchdown, and has run 12 times for 122 yards and a score.

Prior to joining Auditel in July 2011, Henley-based Tim Halfhead was Managing Director of a parenting website.
Prior to joining Auditel in July 2011, Henley-based Tim Halfhead was Managing Director of a parenting website. His career spanned sales and business development, mostly within media and telecommunications, but also with exposure to etail and retail.
Tim worked almost exclusively within the SME sector specialising in start-ups and turnarounds. Half of his working life was spent at Director or Managing Director level, with over a decade as an owner.
Tim explains: "With this experience, I am well acquainted with the conundrum of how to control your costs. Lack of time, resources and detailed knowledge of complex supplier markets, leave you with a nagging certainty that your company is paying too much for some or perhaps many of your essential services and supplies.
"It is my role now as an Auditel consultant to use my persistence, creativity and management skills, harnessed to Auditel's innovative processes and tools to track down those overspends. My aim is to deliver savings in both money and time for my clients on a regular basis."
Asked why he had decided to join Auditel, Tim says: "They have the most comprehensive head office support and development service and it appears that their business model can offer a fast return on investment. It is a booming market for cost savings with a clear brand, backed with excellent collateral, website and other support and run by people of integrity and passion!"
Franchising is becoming an increasingly attractive option for those looking to run a business for the first time. The latest NatWest/bfa survey reveals that nine out of 10 franchises remain profitable. As Brian Smart, Director General of the British Franchise Association said recently: "Yet again, franchising has demonstrated its inherent tenacity and stability, despite a tough climate last year."
In July, Auditel welcomed their 200th signing and are now the UK's largest Cost and Purchase Management Consultancy. Head of Marketing, Laurence Knott confirms: "Applicants recognise the value of our cost and purchase management service in these challenging economic times. Our higher earners enjoy an income of over £200k. Now is the time for any management professional who is seeking a career change to approach us. Our Free Discovery Seminars give an indication of what may be achieved within our franchise which can provide financial, business and personal satisfaction."
Last words from Tim: "The training was well-constructed in terms of knowledge and in building confidence. It was lively, fun and I've learnt loads in an enjoyable atmosphere, painlessly! It's really fired me up!"

She discovered a secret that the British government had kept hidden for years: one hundred and thirty thousand children in care had been sent abroad to commonwealth countries, mainly Australia. Children as young as four had been told that their parents were dead, and been sent to children's homes on the other side of the world. Many were subjected to appalling abuse. They were promised oranges and sunshine, they got hard labour and life in institutions. Based on the book "Empty Cradles" by Margaret Humphreys.

Code Caveats
This section's aim is to log some tricks and caveats that you should take into consideration while developing for Indico.
1. If you add a new Javascript file, remember about packing
Therefore, if you add a new .js file, remember to add the corresponding line to the proper .cfg file in etc/js (usually indico.cfg).
2. Usage of .getUser() within a management area
Don't assume that a user is always logged in just because he is in the management area of an event. getUser() can return None because the user could have used a modification key to login. So, always check that getUser() is not None.
3. Do not use Python built-ins as variable names
This is more a general Python programming tip, but most people fall into it some time or another.
Try not to use Python built-in keywords, such as "type", "list", "dict", "vars", etc. as variable names.
Example of problem:
def mymethod(self, value, type): self._type = type ... if type(value) is int: #we try to use Python's built-in type function to check the type of an object ...
This will fail because we have redefined type when using it as a function argument; so the built-in "type" function is no longer available.
Using PyLint helps detect these problems.
4. Use the right i18n (internationalization) function
Indico's interface should be multi-language; for this, we have the _ function on the server (Python) side (import with from MaKaC.i18n import _ ), and the $T Javascript function in the client side. Be careful not to use a Python function inside a Javascript string, for example:
var today = '<%=_("Today") %>';
will become, when rendered in English:
var today = 'Today';
But when rendered in French, it will become:
var today = 'Aujourd'hui';
This will provoke a syntax error because the string was using single quotes (').
Therefore, the correct thing to do is:
var today = $T("Today");

Via VMblog.com, I noted this press release by VMware:
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW), the global leader in virtualization solutions from the desktop to the datacenter, today announced it has qualified its industry-leading VMware ESX hypervisor under the Microsoft Server Virtualization Validation Program (SVVP). VMware ESX 3.5 update 2 (ESX 3.5u2) is the first hypervisor to be listed under the program, providing VMware customers who run Windows Server and Microsoft applications with access to cooperative support from Microsoft and VMware.
That's right, VMware ESX 3.5 Update 2 is the first hypervisor to be validated under SVVP, as I alluded in a previous Virtualization Short Take (with due credit to Gabe as well).
This is outstanding news! This now removes what is, in my mind, one of the most significant barriers to greater virtualization adoption. Full steam ahead!
UPDATE: In case anyone's wondering about this press release, refer to this entry on the Windows Virtualization Team Blog. They confirm that ESX 3.5 Update 2 has indeed been validated.
Tags: ESX, Microsoft, Virtualization, VMware
14 comments
My guess is that the press release is actually referring to VMware's participation in the VSSP programme and not to the validation itself. This is not only suggested by Adrian Jane's quote ("We are pleased that VMware has joined the Server Virtual Validation Program and along with the other participants can bring the benefits of interoperability to our customers"), but also by the fact that MS's official KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/944987/) does not mention the validation.
As far as I can see, the news in press release is just a couple of weeks overdue and we still have to wait for the validation itself to take place.
I hope your're right on this Scott, though my gut reaction is otherwise
Remember that until now we've only read about VMware joining the SVVP in various blogs and VMware hasn't published an official press release to that effect so far. Maybe their PR-staff is just a little slower than the blogoshpere?
Fantastic news for the VMware virtualization community for sure! Once again, VMware sets the bar for the rest to follow.
One particular detail we must not lose site of in our celebration is that the qualifying hypervisor is ESX 3.5 Update 2. Those who are on ESX 2.x, 3.0.x, 3.5, or 3.5 Update 1 cannot jump for joy yet. Their environment must receive an upgrade to U2 first.
Second, the SVVP program does not qualify hosted products such as VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, Fusion, Server, etc.
Additionally, is there any fine print to the certification we need to be aware of? For instance, do the VMs need to be running a specific version of VMware Tools. One could assume we'd always be current on our tools but I'll be the first to admit that in some cases we'll lag behind for a period after the host upgrades.
Lastly, I am curious what happens when new versions of ESX are released. Does the SVVP program need to re-certify new versions of ESX (and how long will this process take each time), or are the new versions automatically approved?
Bert, Scott linked to the press release from VMware in the first line of his post?
Mike, Scott is right and it looks like Patrick has clarified things.
Funny though that Patrck in his previous post on this item stated "First, ESX Server must go through and pass the validation test. Once validated, they'll be added to KB article 944987, where we list 'support partners for non-Microsoft hardware virtualization software.' Today only Novell is listed, and that's due to the broader technical collaboration agreement in place between the companies." (see http://blogs.technet.com/virtualization/archive/2008/08/19/Thoughts-on-today_2700_s-virtualization-licensing-and-support-news.aspx somewhere near the end).
Until now, the KB 944987 article hasn't been updated and is still only listing Novell…
Apparently, this http://windowsservercatalog.com/results.aspx?&bCatID=1521&cpID=0&avc=0&ava=0&avq=0&OR=1&PGS=25&ready=0 is the place where validated hypervisors are listed. The list not only includes ESX, but also Cisco Virtual Blades, as indicated by Chris Wolf (http://www.chriswolf.com/?p=189 ).

French lawmakers back gay marriage
|French justice minister Christiane Taubira delivers her speech following the vote at the National Assembly in Paris, Tuesday Feb. 12, 2013, of a new law legalizing gay marriage. France's lower house of parliament has approved a sweeping bill to legalize gay marriage and allow same-sex couples to adopt children. President Francois Hollande's Socialists have pushed the measure through the National Assembly and put France on track to join about a dozen, mostly European nations that grant marriage and adoption rights to homosexuals. (AP Photo/Remy de la Mauviniere)
PARIS — The French parliament passed legislation Tuesday legalizing same-sex marriage and granting the right of adoption to gay men and lesbians.
Of the 577 members of the National Assembly, 329 voted in favor of the bill and 229 against. It is now scheduled to be considered in April by the Senate, where passage is expected to be won easily with the backing of Socialist and other left-wing lawmakers.

As Appealing As Possible
Matt Ball at the Vegan Outreach blog describes a common problem for vegan educators:
"Vegan Outreach often receives criticism that the meal examples / food items we mention don't measure up. We should promote only whole foods, or raw foods, or cheap foods, or organic / veganic foods, or local foods, or foods sold at vegan-only stores, etc."
I've experienced this myself. Sometimes if I write an article for the Vegan Soapbox and my article suggests a particular food, then I'll often hear some criticism. They'll tell me about how this or that brand produces nonvegan products and thus they'll conclude it's not vegan to buy the entire brand, regardless of the actual product's vegan-ness, taste, convenience, etc.
If I bring a food to a vegan potluck inevitably there's at least one curmudgeon who complains that the food isn't sugar-free, gluten-free, fat-free, local, organic, GMO-free, or [fill in the blank] enough for them. They think vegan means [fill in the blank with something other than simply 'avoidance of animal products'] and they'll fight tooth and nail to promote their own version of veganism.
Luckily, the critics are in the minority. And luckily, those haters are so fickle that they never stick around long enough to really get under my skin.
But none of that is what this article is about. This article is about educating people about veganism. This article is meant to make us all think about being the most effective vegan advocates we can be.
Matt explains:
"There is no point in showing people the revolting hidden horrors of modern agribusiness if the alternative seems unappealing and/or so strange as to be beyond consideration."
He's right that if we show vegan food we should strive to make that food as accessible and appealing as possible.
What constitutes "accessible and appealing" varies for different audiences. For some groups that means emphasizing inexpensive vegan foods that are available in mainstream supermarkets. For other groups of people, the most appealing aspects of vegan food are the ones that make veganism seem inaccessible to others: the ideas of extravagance, indulgence, and richness.
Consider a fair trade, organic, vegan chocolate bar (that costs $8). That chocolate bar appeals to a certain group of eaters whereas it's the exact opposite to another group of eaters.
What about vegan deli slices and melty vegan cheese? To some people, that's an easy, familiar food that makes trying veganism simple. To others, that's a reminder of dead animals and suffering. Some people will love the convenience factor. Others will hate the idea of eating anything they think of as processed.
Or how about a raw ratatouille? One person will imagine something exciting, challenging, flavorful, and healthy while another person will think, "raw rat… what?" To the second person, the ratatouille will sound complicated, weird, and scary.
But don't get too worried about which vegan foods to promote. Here's why:
1. Of course, there is a point to showing people the truth even if the alternative is beyond consideration. There's always a point to education even if the knowledge isn't used immediately and directly. Eventually, generally, truth begets good.
Educating people about the horrors of modern agribusiness, like this:
is 100% worthwhile, with or without suggestions for alternative food choices. People need to know the truth. People need to know the truth, even when it's disgusting, sad, terrifying, disturbing, and grotesque. People need to know what is happening. People need to know where their food comes from. People need to know.
2. The other reason to just go forth and educate is because "perfect is the enemy of good." If you worry too much about being the perfect vegan or about having the perfect vegan food that will satisfy everyone, you'll shoot yourself in the foot striving for an impossible perfection.
Besides, this is all part of the plan. If you're anything like most vegans, you went vegan in order to be the person you want to be: a good person, a better version of yourself. Part of the process of becoming a better person is making mistakes along the way. Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself. You must forgive yourself to move forward.
It's the same with advocacy. You don't know what works until you try. You don't know where your real skills lie, until you test them. So just do it. Just pick some vegan food, the food you like to eat, and use that food in your education.

Orionid Meteors
The Orionid meteor shower should be at its best on the nights of October 20 and 21, with the best viewing for American skywatchers in the hours before dawn on the 21st. The meteors appear to "rain" into Earth's atmosphere from the direction of Orion (hence their name). However, a meteor can streak across any part of the sky, so you don't have to look toward Orion to see the "shooting stars." [Tim Jones/StarDate]

Can Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene fill void left by Brian Urlacher?
BY ADAM L. JAHNS email@example.com May 9, 2013 10:50PM
Florida v Tennessee
Related Stories
Updated: June 11, 2013 6:46AM
All Bears linebackers Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene know about each other comes through highlights, word of mouth and their brief interactions at the NFL combine.
That will change soon.
Bostic and Greene will practice together for the first time Friday when rookie minicamp begins. In the end, the relationship they foster and the players they become might come to define the Bears' 2013 draft, regardless of all the attention first-round pick Kyle Long has gotten and will get.
For general manager Phil Emery, it would be quite an accomplishment to get Brian Urlacher's replacement (Bostic) in his first try, along with a versatile partner in crime (Greene) to roam outside.
''From what I hear, [Greene is] pretty much the same thing as me,'' Bostic said.
It's true. Bostic (6-1, 245 pounds) and Greene (6-1, 241) are the same size, and Emery has praised them for the same things: versatility, athleticism, smarts, production.
They also come from football families. Bostic's father played for the Detroit Lions, while Greene's father played at Purdue and his brother, running back Ray Graham, just signed with the Houston Texans.
More important, they have a similar mentality. Neither comes off as a know-it-all, overconfident college star. They are eager to learn from those front of them — Lance Briggs, D.J. Williams and James Anderson.
Briggs has spoken to Bostic and Greene, telling them what it means to be a Bears linebacker and also leaving a line of communication open for anything.
''I'm going to compete for the job, but with a lot of veterans in front of me, that's big for me because I learn a lot from visual things,'' said Bostic, a second-round pick from Florida. ''It's easy for me to go in and basically do the same things as the guy in front of me, and at the same time compete with him. I learn a lot that way. I don't mind some veterans in front of me. Actually, that's a great situation.''
Greene called it an ''honor'' to work under Briggs.
''As much as this may sound weird, that's something I wanted to do,'' said Greene, a fourth-round pick from Rutgers. ''Why not learn under a guy like him, not just on the field, but off the field — what he does to stay out of trouble, what he does to take care of his body and what helps him have longevity in the NFL.''
Bostic and Greene also have similar on-the-field experiences. Greene moved from safety to linebacker in the spring of his redshirt sophomore year, while Bostic said he went to Florida ''playing corner and safety on defense and running back on offense'' before shifting to linebacker early on.
Those experiences helped sway Emery and his staff.
''It gave me that edge where I don't have problems covering tight ends, slot receivers or backs out of the backfield,'' Greene said.
''Linebackers have to be able to cover,'' Bostic added. ''You're going to be on an island with the tight end or the back.''
Greene and Bostic have agreed to their rookie deals. All that lies ahead is training, learning the Bears' scheme and competing for playing time — and doing it together.
''I'm looking forward to working with [Bostic] and building a relationship with him,'' Greene said. ''I know we're both planning to be here a long time.''

- Expertise: Blackboard team of over 200 industry experts across four continents is skilled both in Blackboard applications and in managed hosting, enabling them to provide superior customer support and technical service.
- Scalability & Security: Blackboard deploys top-tier datacenters and redundant infrastructure, deploying industry best practices to provide scalability and security.
- Relationship & Stability: Blackboard is a stable partner, committed to education, with the resources to continuously innovate across the learner experience while delivering the relationship simplicity and accountability of a single provider.
- 24/7 support
- Our Blackboard Service will not be impacted by CNM's system maintenance schedules
As those of you who will be teaching this summer will be upgrading/copying your courses for the summer term, please be aware of this upcoming change.

With most products, it's fairly obvious when a replacement is needed. If it no longer works or has signs of wear and tear that impair its ability, you know its time for a new one. However, realizing that it is time for a new mattress and foundation isnât always so obvious. Similar to your favorite old chair or worn pair of shoes, your mattress can still feel comfortable long after it has lost its ability to provide your body with the proper support and comfort it needs. Because sleep is so critical to our ability to function and feel our best, it is important to evaluate your sleep set on a regular basis.
Signs That You May Need a New Mattress & Foundation (Boxspring):
You wake up with stiffness, numbness, aches and pains. You had a better night's sleep somewhere other than your own bed (such as a hotel).
Your mattress shows visible signs of overuse (it sags, has lumps, the interior is exposed, etc.)
Your mattress is 5 to 7 years old.
How long a mattress will last depends on several factors, such as amount of use and original quality, but in general, a mattress set that has been in use 5-7 years is no longer providing you with the best comfort and support. Keep in mind that people's bodies change over time, and the need for good comfort and support only increases with age. That's why it's a good idea to compare the mattress and foundation you are sleeping on now to newer models every few years.
A good night's sleep, just like proper diet and exercise, is essential to your mental, emotional and physical health. Yet many people just do not get the seven to eight hours of sleep each night recommended by sleep experts. It doesn't have to be this way.
Better sleep can be as simple as sleeping on a better mattress!
New findings show better sleep linked to improved physical performance
While weary, overextended Americans are turning to "quick fixes" like caffeine and performance-enhancing supplements, which claim to improve everything from their daily workout to their sex lives, they are losing sight of what experts say is essential to improved performance: a good night's sleep.
In fact, according to the 2008 Better Sleep Month (BSM) national survey, sponsored by the Better Sleep Council (BSC):
* Respondents getting nine hours of sleep or more are more likely to engage in higher-intensity workouts (biking, running, weight lifting, etc.). * Seven in 10 (70 percent) report that they are not getting the recommended amount of sleep needed each night (7.5 hours or more) to perform at their best each day.
"Sleep deprivation impacts us physically, which can negatively affect our coordination, agility, mood and energy," says Dr. Bert Jacobson, professor and head of the School of Educational Studies at Oklahoma State University (OSU) and the lead author of the new study Grouped Comparisons of Sleep Quality for New and Personal Bedding Systems. "Research shows that sleeping better and longer leads to improvements in athletic performance, including faster sprint time, better endurance, lower heart rate, and even improved mood and higher levels of energy during a workout."
One out of three survey respondents agrees, stating that the best thing about getting a good night's sleep is improved physical performance.
