I recently purchased a mattress and bed base from Dreams. Unfortunately, upon receiving my order I noticed that one of the bed legs was slightly crooked. I didn't think anything of this but after a couple of months I noticed that the bed became extremely creaky and frequently required re-assembly. Dreams state that if you let them know that a part is faulty within 48 hours of delivery, they will replace this for you. I contacted them about 4 months after buying my bed expecting them to tell me to either buy a new part of tell me they couldn't help because it was outside the 48 hours, but the service I received was fantastic. They arranged to send someone around with new parts and to assemble the bed for me, free of charge, just because they had sent me a part with a faulty part in the first place. Dreams were swift to respond to me, and I received a brilliant service all round. Not to mention the bed is fantastic!

text: 09/24/2008 The Credenza Strikes Back Believe it or not, there's still a lot of early 60s staples that have yet to make the retro jump. Our pick for the next candidate is the credenza, a staple of old school interior décor that's completely dropped off the map in recent decades, but the *Mad Men* set dressers clearly haven't forgotten. By our lights, it's due for a revival, but only time will tell.If you happen to be in the Second City, you can pick up this Herman Miller version (circa 1955) for around five grand at Chicago's Wright Design Auction on October 7th, along with a few Eames chairs and an embarrassment of interior design riches.But if you want to stick with your coffee table, we understand.—R.B.

Lemon Cheesecake 311. (photo credit:gourmetkoshercooking.com)
With Shavuot less than a week away, it's time to take a closer look at the star of this spring time holiday – Cheese! From cheese cake to cheese blintzes to lasagna and other dairy themed dishes, there is no escaping this dairy delicacy on this holiday! Cheese's huge popularity, in Israel and abroad, stems from its taste, versatility and large assortment. However, a shroud of controversy surrounds it with some people trying to heavily incorporate it into their diets, embracing it's high calcium and protein content, while others use it sparingly as they fear the effects of it's high fat and sodium content. So before chowing down on your favorite cheese dish, did you ever wonder what the real story with cheese is? Find out now as we examine the pros and cons of cheese. The Good NewsKicking off the "good news" list for cheese is none other than its high protein content. Consuming adequate amounts of protein is extremely important, as it provides the body with essential amino acids that are used to build muscle and tissue, synthesize hormones, and balance tissue fluid. Cheese is an excellent source of complete protein, especially for those who do not eat meat. For example, one ounce of low-fat (part skim) mozzarella has 8 grams of protein, while 100 grams of cottage cheese has 12 grams of protein – 25 percent of one's daily recommended intake!Cheese is also rich in calcium and phosphorus – the two most abundant minerals in the body. Once inside the body, calcium and phosphorus join together to form calcium phosphate, a major component of the mineral complex that is needed for the formation and maintenance of our bones and teeth. While both these minerals are commonly associated with proper bone growth and maintenance, they also play vital roles in many other body functions. Phosphorus, for instance, is important for practically every physiological chemical process in the body, including the growth, maintenance, and repair of all tissues and cells, as well as energy production, digestion, and the breakdown of carbohydrates, fat and protein. Calcium, meanwhile, is needed for blood clotting, nerve conduction, muscle contraction, regulation of enzyme activity, cell membrane function and blood pressure regulation. While most people generally consume adequate amounts of phosphorus, many people do not consume enough calcium. Calcium's role in the body is so important that when one's dietary intake of calcium is too low, the body will draw calcium from its bones, a situation that can lead to osteoporosis after many years. Don't worry, however, because cheese is an excellent source of this all important mineral. For example, an ounce of low-fat (part skim) mozzarella cheese offers around 20% of the one's daily recommended intake of calcium as well as 15% of one's daily recommended intake of phosphorus. Low fat cottage cheese, cheddar and (part skim) ricotta cheese are also all excellent sources of calcium as well as phosphorus and selenium. Cheese is also a good source of Vitamin A, riboflavin and Vitamin B12. The bad newsWhile cheese may have many celebrated health benefits, it also has some downfalls – one in particular is its high saturated fat content. Saturated fat raises one's level of LDL "bad" cholesterol, causing plaque to build up in the arteries, which in turn can lead to cardiovascular disease. Moreover, a diet rich in foods high in saturated fat, such as meat and full fat dairy products, causes chronic inflammation, a contributing factor for strokes, heart disease, arthritis and even Alzheimer's. Full fat cheese can contain as many as six grams of saturated fat per serving, which is nearly one third of the maximum daily recommended allowance. A common health myth is that "low fat" milk and other dairy products contain less calcium that then the full-fat versions. This rumor is not only so false, but skim (and 1%) milk and low-fat cheese actually contain more calcium than their full-fat counterparts. So if you plan on making cheese one of your main sources of calcium or protein, opt for skim or part-skim cheeses (1 or 2%). At the same time, watch out for those "no fat" products as the fat is typically replaced by tons of harmful chemicals and sodium. Another negative aspect of cheese is its high sodium content, which makes it unhealthy for those with blood pressure problems. That being said, recent studies have shown that people who eat more low-fat (and low sodium) dairy products have a lower risk of developing high blood pressure than those who eat less low-fat dairy products. So what's the verdict? While cheese provides some essential nutrients, it can still be quite unhealthy. So apart from Shavuot, where you can and should indulge, use cheese in modest quantities or opt for low-fat cheese to limit the possible negative aspects on your health.

A great sequel to the first book. I have really enjoyed the characters and situations of the Shopaholic series. The books are a good, fun read, but not so predictable as to be boring. I ended up buying the series twice more for two different friends who love to read as well.

The GO Project is a national youth program which has been operating out of St. James United in St. John's for the last 4 years. This year Go Project would like to expand its programs and run two Go Projects in each host area (NL). We are wondering if another congregation would like partner with St. James by hosting the second Go Project. The cost to your congregation would be $4000, to help cover salaries and insurance; volunteers for driving; billets for leaders; and the use of your building for the program. The benefits... Priceless! Go Project has sparked growth in our youth ministry, helped grow leadership abilities in the participating youth, given the youth and our host congregation a new sense of what it means to be church.
Below is a letter from Go Project founder Michael Shewburg outlining the changes for the summer of 2015. If you would like more information on the GO Project please visit www.thegoproject.ca or contact myself (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Michael at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please consider becoming a Go Project host site.

2015 Program Outline for Local Hosts
October 30, 2014
Dear Local Youth Hosts,
In 2015 we are offering small shifts in our programs that will help us to grow and change in our 8th year of offering youth programs. In years past we have aimed for 15 participants at each program, held in in six cities, each of which offers one program each summer across Canada. These programs were led by 1 coordinator and 3 site staff, with support from the Minister to the GO Project. Host sites made a financial contribution of $7500 for The GO Project to host a program in their local ministry unit.
Our strategic plan going forward for youth programs will focus on smaller programs, but more of them. We have learned from our experiences with sites which have smaller registrations that participants and staff can build deeper and more solid relationships. By offering more programs we can increase our revenue stream from host churches and by offering smaller programs we can reduce expenses such as removing 1 full site staff from each team and reducing the other contracts by one to two weeks of work from each contract.
We will aim for 2 programs in each of our host cities with a target of 10 participants (with a maximum of 21) in each program. By hosting the programs in the same city, we reduce expenses such as travel costs for moving a leadership team across the country. If a local host site is not able to host two programs, we would search out a nearby host to accommodate a second program, or consider not hosting a program in that area in 2015. By hosting 2 smaller programs, this will allow for a smaller and locally based leadership teams. These programs will be led by 1 coordinator and 2 site staff, compared to the previous model of 1 coordinator and 3 site staff. Host sites will make a financial contribution of $8000 (or $4000 per program). Registration costs will be increased in 2016 as the cost of hosting the programs increases.
Below is a chart that compares and contrasts the shifts in 2015 for local host congregations.

The dates of the programs are: July 5-16, 2015 and July 22-August 2, 2015.

How long will you wait for me to come around?
And wouldn't it be great if everything worked out?
I wouldn't come home late after hiding out.
I'd tell you everything.
How I couldn't live without you now.
How long will it take before I wake up unafraid to take you in my arms
and hold you like a lucky charm?
I know it's too late but wait for me to turn around.
I'm coming home so if you're leaving, walk slow.
All that I can ask is forgiveness for what's past.
You know who I am but will you know me in the end?
I know it's too late but wait for me to turn around.
I'm almost home so if you're leaving walk slow.
All that I can ask is forgiveness for what's past.
You know who I am, but will you know me in the end?
I know it's too late but wait for me to turn around.
I'm almost home, so if you're leaving, walk slow.
I know you're not waiting anymore and I'm not gonna change.
I try to reach you, to let you know, but I'm walking too slow.
Hey, how's your summer going?
It's good to see you again.
I'm gonna make a record so I never forget what it was I wrecked.
So tired of my mind.
You're a genius all the time.
The things that I can't say are all thinking me insane these days.
I know it's late.

Bus driver's heroic efforts recognised
Bus driver's good deed for boy earns award
ABBY BROWNRelated Links
Relevant offers
Try as he might, Morrinsville bus driver Wilbur Brown cannot hide his heroic deed, with the quick-thinking lifesaver recognised with an award for his actions.
Brown, 74, was awarded a special plaque at the Matamata Piako District Council Community Volunteer Awards last week for his efforts in helping a boy who was impaled on the handlebar of his scooter.
For 25 minutes Brown applied pressure on the open wound to the boy's groin as they waited for an ambulance.
Even Brown's son, who is serving in the military in Australia, heard of his father's heroic rescue, which involved him holding the bleeding wound closed until help arrived.
"He [Brown's son] has the same name as I do and someone came up to him and asked him if it was his dad who saved a young boy," Brown said.
The accident reminded him of the famous Moon mission quote: "Houston we have a problem."
"Sitting on the bus I thought, 'Hell, we have a problem.'"
Brown rushed to the boy's aid, helped remove the scooter from his body and put pressure on the wound for 25 minutes to stem the bleeding.
His wife, Ayleen, said school teachers had to help him up afterwards as Brown was stiff from staying in one position for a long time.
"I then asked them for their first-aid kit and if they had any medicinal whisky in it," Brown laughed.
He said he had been very emotional since the accident. "Even today I am emotional."
Family from Hamilton and Tauranga were at the event to see him get his award.

There's no shortage of sexism related to mermaids.
In a lot of folk lore, mermaids are blamed for bad storms and doomed voyages. Or they're said to lure men out to sea to be drowned.
In advertising, they're mostly ornamental. At least in these ads, the mermaids support the messaging.
The last ad in the series is my least favorite. The mermaid on the table is asking you to eat her. (Get it? Get it? Get it?) It's such a weak idea, I'm having a difficult time working up some feminist rage.

Convenient, comfortable, excellent!
Posted 26-Jan-2015Pros: Just about everything, except the closet was too small (see below).
Cons: The newly refurbished closets have very limited hanging space (12-15", I would estimate) - not enough for a couple with clothes for 4 days.
Great location. Rooms were newly refurbished, very clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable.

Washington DC Dream
Posted 13-Jan-2015Pros: The location was excellent! The room was huge and comfortable. Nice view of the city. Comfy beds. TV was huge and many modern ameneties were provided
Cons: Coffee makers in the rooms perhaps? Even though free coffee was offered downstairs, sometimes it's easier.
Location: It was within walking distance to the monuments, the museums and just blocks from the White House. We had many meals in China Town, which wasn't far.
The staff was wonderful, and accommodating. Our newly renovated room was perfect. The hotel bar was fun to visit. The location was ideal.

Posted 1-Jan-2015As a VIP+ Member, the free upgrade to a Luxury Room and free WiFi were greatly appreciated. The newly renovated room was lovely and very comfortable. Excellent staff on-hand to provide Keurig coffee machine and a mini-fridge. Excellent, quiet location in the MacPherson Square area. Close by to the Metro and busses. Good to be back here again.

Excellent hotel!
Posted 29-Dec-2014From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel right at home. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The rooms were very nice and clean. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place near all of the monuments and museums.

Great Hotel in a Great Location
Posted 28-Dec-2014Pros: Location, quality of hotel
Cons: More of a selection from restaurant
Location: White House, McPherson Square Metro, Old Ebbitt Grill restaurant,
This was our first time staying at a Sofitel hotel. The staff are extremely friendly and courteous, the rooms are very comfortable and clean, and the location can't be beat. The White House is just around the corner and very close to all of DC's main attractions as well as the metro station (McPherson Square Metro) . We ate in the hotel's restaurant for breakfast which was just okay and nothing over the top except for the price $$$$$. I would suggest to try eating somewhere else if you are looking for a more reasonable price and more of a selection. We had drinks and appetizers in the hotel bar, Le Bar. The food was good and atmosphere very quiet and relaxing. All in all, we would definitely stay at the DC Sofitel if and when we ever return. Thanks for such a great experience.

Excellent experience at D.C. Sofitel
Posted 27-Dec-2014Location: I recommend "Joe's" restaurant across the street--excellent steaks, just as in Chicago. We were able to walk to several plays and films.
I had reserved a regular room but upgraded before arrival. No problems doing that; added an additional person--no problem. Had gotten breakfast included and the second person was just added on, at no addition charge as far as I could tell. The suite was pleasant. Did not have a 'view' but I was not at that price level either. Service was excellent; breakfast choices generous; bar with atmosphere and great service. My only complaint: minuscule closet. Two people cannot hang their clothes in that space, even if it is for a three-day week-end.
for Couplesby A verified travellerfrom Westcoast
Great Bed!
Posted 19-Dec-2014Pros: The bed. The location. The concierge. The cleaning staff.
Cons: They could do a bit of work on the tiles around the shower, but maybe it was just my room.
Location: The Hamilton (restaurant). Sightseeing: the National Mall + the White House (you can see the sniper on top of the White House).
The bathroom showed a little bit of wears and tears, so that is the only reason I am not giving five stars across the board. The bed was the most comfortable bed I had ever slept in at a hotel. I am exceedingly tempted to buy the bed from their Web site. They gave me complimentary bottled water whenever I asked for some. The location is excellent. My friend and I walked to the White House and the National Mall straight from the hotel. The concierge was exceptionally helpful: he even gave me change for my $20 out of his own pocket. The room was very clean. Some other five-star hotels I had stayed at had dusty floors, but this one seemed clean. I want to visit D.C. again in the spring, and I will for sure stay at this hotel again.

Jeanette Sapphire J Blue - Chats with Nicety Hannon -Oliva book 2 Wife Secret S
Nicety was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. She began her love of writing in the third grade. Many teachers pushed her to expand her knowledge of words, teaching her how to put them together to make them flow like melted butter. During her teen years she put her creative writing on hold and had an affair with another, graphic design. It wasn't until college that she began writing again, taking advanced creative writing and English classes. One professor caught on to her gift. He began to encourage her to publish her work and share her literary talent with the world. Upon graduating from Kennedy King College in 2010 with an Associates in Arts, that's exactly what she did. She now has several shorts, novellas and full-length novels under her belt. All of her books have topped the charts of one or more Amazon Bestsellers Lists at one point in time. Her goal is to bring that accomplishment over to the New York Times Bestseller list as well. To date, Nicety's most honored award is receiving the 2013 AAMBC BREAK OUT AUTHOR OF THE YEAR. She has also been nominated for Best Erotica Novel 2014 by DJ GATSBY BOOK CLUB.
Olivia "Liv" Roland is a strong woman trying to make that mad dash to the alter like most women her age. She will go to the end of the earth and back to see that the love of her life, Carter, is the one who takes her there. But there are just a few obstacles in her way in the form of two devious brunettes, Salina and her daughter Nina. If she can get past those two the world will be her oyster. A new love threatens to make life complicated for her and Carter as well. But when secrets come into play and one of her enemies finds out and tries to blackmail her and Liv reaches her breaking point. Could this be another episode of Snapped or will Liv be able to make it to the alter unscathed and keep her secrets hidden in the process?

NASA and the National Academy of Sciences are joining the government's effort to figure out what caused the sudden acceleration problems that led to Toyota's massive recalls.
NASA scientists with expertise in electronics will help the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study potential electronic ties to unintended acceleration in Toyotas. NASA's knowledge of electronics, computer hardware and software and hazard analysis will ensure a comprehensive review, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Monday.
In a separate study, the National Academy of Sciences will examine unwanted acceleration and electronic vehicle controls in cars from around the auto industry, LaHood said. The National Academy is an independent organization chartered by Congress.
The academy study, expected to take 15 months, will review acceleration problems and recommend how the government can ensure the safety of vehicle electronic control systems.
"We believe their outside expertise, fresh eyes and fresh research perhaps can tell us if electronics have played a role in these accelerations," LaHood said.
Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles worldwide, including 6 million in the United States. Toyota said in a statement it was "confident in our vehicles and in our electronics" and would cooperate with the government review.
"These studies are just the kind of science-based examination we have been calling for. Bringing some sunshine to this subject is bound to separate fact from fiction, which will be good for Toyota, the industry and the motoring public," the company said.
LaHood has told Congress the department will dig deeply into what has caused hundreds of complaints of unwanted acceleration in Toyotas.
LaHood said he has asked the Transportation Department inspector general to review whether NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation has what it needs to identify and address safety defects.
Some lawmakers have criticized NHTSA for failing to investigate Toyota complaints earlier and more thoroughly.
"Carmakers have entered the electronics era, but NHTSA seems stuck in a mechanical mindset," House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said last month. "We need to make sure the federal safety agency has the tools and resources it needs to ensure the safety of the electronic controls and on-board computers that run today's automobiles."
Toyota has attributed the problem to sticking gas pedals and accelerators that can become jammed in floor mats, and has cited no evidence of an electrical problem. The company has noted that other manufacturers also have had reports of cars surging forward.
Consumer groups contend electronics could be the culprit, and dozens of Toyota owners who had their cars fixed in the recall have complained of more problems with their vehicles surging forward unexpectedly. Regulators have linked 52 deaths in Toyotas to crashes allegedly caused by accelerator problems.
Reviews of some recent high-profile crashes have failed to find a mechanical or electronic problem.
A police investigation of a March 9 accident in suburban New York involving a 2005 Prius found that the driver, not the car, was to blame. Tests following a March 8 incident in San Diego in which a driver reported the gas pedal on his 2008 Prius got stuck, leading to a 94 mph ride on a freeway, found that the hybrid's gas pedal, backup safety system and electronics were working fine.
NHTSA's review of Toyota's electronic throttle control systems is expected to be completed by late summer. The safety agency, with NASA's help, is looking at electronic systems used in Toyotas and whether they have flaws that would warrant a defect investigation.
The National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council will review industry and government efforts to identify possible sources of unintended acceleration, including electronic vehicle controls, human error, mechanical failure and interference with accelerator systems.
The experts will look at software, computer hardware design, electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference. They will make recommendations to NHTSA in mid-2011 on how the government agency's rulemaking, research and defect investigations could help ensure the safety of vehicle electronic control systems.
The two studies together will cost about $3 million, including the expense of buying cars that have allegedly had unintended acceleration. Both studies will be peer reviewed by scientific experts, the Transportation Department said.
