Northern latitudes helped make Marta a player of Sol importance
As of Jan 7, the online Umeå IK fan forum had accepted the inevitable. "Thanks for everything! Best wishes in the future!" LA-bound teammates Marta, right, and Johanna Frisk are told. For the fourth straight season Umeå was crowned Swedish champion. (Photo © 2008 Umeå IK)
Frustrated by repeated cancellation of training and home matches, Umeå IK directors in 2003 ordered a new artificial surface and full-field underground heating system at the 10,000-capacity Gammliavallen stadium. They did not yet know how much the world's greatest woman footballer, from the Sertão scrubland of Brazil's northeast, would benefit starting the following season from a dry, dependable, fast surface that would facilitate her feints and double dragbacks at pace.
From the women's soccer backwater of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where 17-year-old Marta Vieira da Silva had been playing for the club Santa Cruz, she would switch hemispheres to Umeå of the Swedish Norrland, where snowpacks, sometimes as deep as 80cm (31"), are in evidence five months per year. Where, in deepest winter, daylight lasts less than five hours. Where, when there is no football at the Gammliavallen, a cross-country ski race might finish.
The loss to the Women's United Soccer Association, which announced its collapse shortly before the Women's World Cup in Sept 03, was the gain of the Swedish Damallsvenskan. On 4 Feb 04, two weeks shy of her 18th birthday, Marta and friend Marina arrived at latitude 63° 50′ N.
"In Umeå," writes Marta biographer Diego Graciano (see 15 Sept 08),
the summers are replete with light. But in winters, the rigors are stark, nothing but snow and night. Marta would not forget her tears on touching the snowy ground. "When I was descending on the airplane I was frightened by the amount of ice, and I asked Marina: 'Can it be that they play football in this country?' "
"It's dark," Expressen reporter Mats Bråstedt, based in Stockholm, an hourlong plane journey to the south, says simply in our Jan 8 podcast (see below).
On Jan 6, after close to a five-year association, Umeå IK and Marta parted ways, suddenly, with cold legalisms contained in a 40-page contract from Los Angeles Sol of Women's Professional Soccer and with her old club's press release: "Discussion between the Umeå IK management and Marta da Silva's agent Fabiano Farah over whether Marta will or will not be part of Umeå IK in the upcoming season for our part is complete."
At today's FIFA World Player of the Year Gala in Zürich, Marta confirmed her decision in a press conference before announcement of the awards. Marta outpolled Brazil teammate Cristiane, Birgit Prinz (Germany), Nadine Angerer (Germany) and Kelly Smith (England) to win the women's honor for the third straight year. Cristiane said she would join the WPS Chicago franchise.
The move to Umeå marked a profound shift in Marta's football career. Graciano in Você é mulher, Marta! (You Are a Woman, Marta!) writes eloquently that she had passed "from ignored to photographed. From excluded to admitted. From 'macho woman' to lady."
From a nation in which women's football had been banned into the 1980s, Marta staked the most critical stage of her athletic development to the so-called benevolent socialism of Sweden. This communitarian impulse finds expression in some 22,000 sport clubs that have nurtured female athletes—but not without hiccups. Jonny Hjelm and Eva Olofsson in their survey of Swedish women's football note that in the 1970s Swedish scientists investigated alleged connections between "hard blows to the chest region" and breast cancer. There was no connection, researchers found.
The city of Umeå started the country's first women's football league in 1950. Four teams—two korplag or company sides, two composed of handball players—competed for the title of Umemästarrinnorna, Umeå women's champions. The games attracted up to 100 spectators. The league, for unknown reasons, ended before the 1952 season, leaving women's football to develop through exhibitions against "old-boys' sides" until organized play restarted in the '60s. (For more background on women's football in Sweden, see 31 May 05.)

"Umeå gave me five wonderful years," Marta, with emotion, said at her Jan 12 press conference in Opernhaus Zürich.
She leaves a trail of Marta wannabes, both in Sweden and Brazil, practicing her rendition of the Zinédine Zidane pirouette. Brazilian media now publicize "new Martas" such as 15-year-old Sabrina Aurèlio of Santos. An O Globo video shows Aurèlio playing futsal, juggling in flip-flops and wearing the number 10 for her local side.
In retrospect, Marta's decision to venture into the world—into a city, in Graciano's words, of "blonde college students"—could not have been more fortuitous. She came under guidance of then Umeå director Roland Arnqvist and coach Andrée Jeglertz. Arnqvist, according to Bråstedt, provided a "social base" for the prodigy. The persistence of Odin Ramos Pinto Barbosa Ferreira, a native of the Cape Verde Islands and Portuguese speaker, had made the unlikely move possible. Marta would become acclimated with his help and that of his wife, Grethel, and daughter Joana, who also played at Umeå. The Sveriges Television production Marta—Pelés kusin (Marta—Pelé's Cousin) shows how Marta was assisted in settling in—the documentary films her catching her first fish, something she would not have experienced in her hometown of Dois Riachos (meaning "Two Streams," which are usually dry).
Prefiguring the dramatics of the recent October-to-January transfer negotiations (see timeline), orchestrated by high-powered agent Farah, those who remember Marta's angst over the trek to Umeå tell Graciano of similar avoidance, silence, tears and, finally, faith in meu sonho (my dream).
Ferreira during his transatlantic calls communed often with Marta's answering machine. He encountered and made allowances for Marta's unpredictable temperament: "Throughout my life I have dealt with various women," Ferreira tells Graciano, "but Marta was the most difficult, uh!"
To Jeglertz, whose tenure at Umeå corresponded to Marta's—he has left to coach the men's team at Djurgården—fell the job of introducing her to a professional training routine and integrating her into an accomplished side with a tactical plan. Umeå, on the strength of national-team stalwarts Malin Moström (at the club from 1995–2006) and Hanna Ljungberg, who has played for her hometown side since 1998, had won the previous year's UEFA Women's Cup.
Jeglertz also negotiated Marta's capricious personality, which is demanding of her teammates on the pitch—and sometimes violent—yet easygoing, lithe, strumming a guitar and listening to beloved forró in leisure time. Jeglertz suspended her for one game last October for violating the "values and standards" of the club in a training incident. The club, after the Swedish Cup final in Oct 05, apologized on her behalf for punching Helén Fagerström in the face. Marta also said she was sorry for overreacting to a holding foul. Against LDB Malmö on 11 Jun 08, Marta kicked Emma Wilhelmsson in the stomach after a foul outside the penalty area. A second Malmö player shoved Marta to the turf, and a brief mêlée ensued. Referee Pernilla Larsson issued Marta a straight red. (Someone has distributed a video montage of the latter two incidents with sneering soundtrack.)
Tomas Ruuth, who has covered Umeå IK for local newspaper Västerbottens Folkblad, acknowledges in the podcast that Marta was "maybe a little bit hard to coach … but a player like Marta has to have a free role, so she's able to do what she wants because, in the end, that's what changes the matches and decides. That's how she scores her goals."
For Umeå she made stunning goals, 111 in 103 league games and 167 in all domestic and European competitions. "In little time I was able to enter into the rhythm of the game," Marta tells Graciano of her rapid development, "but it felt very cold." She was critical to Umeå's 8–0 aggregate victory over FFC Frankfurt in the final of the 2004 UEFA Women's Cup.
The numbers of goals and assists speak also to Marta's physical condition. She has not suffered major injury, although, except for big international tournaments, combined demands of club and country have not been overwhelming. The physio for Brazil's women's team, Vinícius, in Graciano's book describes Marta as having the ideal muscle structure for women's soccer. "She has strength, speed, mobility and agility. Robinho possesses similar characteristics and biotype."
Marta appears on O Globo's Mais Você (Plus You) on 11 Dec 08. There are laughs and tears as the show airs clips of the Ronaldo v. Zidane charity match Nov 17, her hometown Dois Riachos, local side Centro Sportivo Alagoano and a 2006 parade in Maceió to honor her return after receiving her first FIFA World Player of the Year award. Everyone gets hugs, including host Ana Maria Braga and Louro José, the sidekick parrot who has his own blog. (© 2008 globo.com; 10:12)
Over time Marta penetrated the stereotypical reserve of the Scandinavian heart. As American girls did for Mia Hamm, klatches of pre-teens throughout the country sought Marta's signature and wore her jersey, number 60—chosen to help the team's major sponsor, Volkswagen, anticipate its 60th anniversary in Sweden.
"She's loved," says Bråstedt. "She doesn't speak Swedish like a Swede, but we do understand her. She speaks a very charming Swedish, which we could see on television."
The club estimated her marketing value at $8 million per year. In 2007, Umeå IK was among the most televised teams in Sweden, women's or men's. Earning a professional's wage for the first time, Marta was able to realize material well-being far beyond the norm in Alagoas. She bought her first car, Graciano notes—a Fiat Palio—in Maceió in Jan 05. In March of the same year, she bought a three-room house for her mother, Dona Tereza, in Dois Riachos, next to a church.
"I live from football," she says to Graciano. "My family depends on my wage." In Brazil she had not had jewelry or makeup but in Sweden could earn money endorsing such products. She gave loyalty to a sponsor, Puma, as one reason for staying in Sweden despite a reported offer of $10,000 per month from FC Indiana (see 18 Jul 08)—some four times her initial earnings at Umeå. (By the close of her Umeå service, Marta reportedly made more than $200,000 annually, even after deducting Sweden's hefty taxes.)
Intrusion of such numbers and the presence of Farah, whom many Umeå supporters, Bråstedt says, viewed as Marta's niggardly overseer, made locals uncomfortable. One comment on the Damallsvenskan Newsblog (Nov 24)—the essential source for translating and interpreting each development in the transfer dealing—was representative of how jaded some fans became as the dirty business of negotiating player movements entered the idealized world of women's football:
I am sick of this Marta bidding war. She wanted in the WPS, and now she wants to stay in Umeå; she demands that her "friend" to come with her to LA, now she demands to stay in Sweden … this just in, the Sol has put Marta on plane to LAX! Hang on—Marta said she loves Sweden and will die for her snowy step-motherland! WAIT! Newsflash! Marta just signed on WPS dotted line—STOP PRESS!—she nailed herself to Umeå's town hall. No! OH MY GOD, Marta is DUE TO ARRIVE NEXT WEEK as long as she gets two million, 10 jet skis, two turtledoves, a beach house and unlimited supersize refills!
The effort to keep Marta in Sweden formed one aspect of the most intriguing transfer in the short history of professional women's football. The club launched a "Rädda Marta" (Save Marta) plan and made a second contract offer in early December after Swedish media reported that Los Angeles Sol had backed out. Rivals Malmö even offered to help sweeten Umeå's contract, such was her benefit to the Damallsvenskan. Farah was the bogeyman, doing his best for his client but alienating the club structure that did much to make Marta worthy of such sums.
The main Swedish sports program, writes Damallsvenskan Newsblog, opens with a Marta segment on Jan 13. Interviews with SVT football authority Glenn Strömberg, Jeglertz and WPS chief operating officer Mary Harvey, who played in the Swedish league in the 1990s. (© 2009 Sveriges Television; 4:51)
Both Bråstedt and Ruuth predicted, however, that ill feeling would fade once fans who packed the Gammliavallen, making the women better supported than the men's team, reflected on Marta's commitment and artistry that helped the side to the past four Swedish titles. Quietly, many may already have realized that she was "too large for Umeå," in the words of Västerbottens Folkblad sports editor Niklas Westman. "Most of the people have been expecting this because of the money in the US and also that maybe she wants another challenge," Ruuth says.
Most of the people think it's remarkable that the best player in women's football has been playing five years up here, up in the north of Sweden in a small town. Most people are happy for what she has achieved for Umeå and also for Swedish women's football. I think that's stronger than eventual bitterness over her leaving.
Adjusting to Los Angeles may be even more eventful than the earlier transition to the sub-Arctic. Now 22, Marta will realize that, while the Home Depot Center crowd may pound their thunder sticks for her samba moves, the learning curve will be steeper than in soccer cultures she has known. There will be less interest in her as a non-English-speaking player and as a female footballer than she became accustomed to in Sweden. As an early introduction to this phenomenon, the Los Angeles Times misspelled her name in announcing the anticipated transfer. Note to copy desk: It's "Vieira" as in "Patrick Vieira." Another uncertainty is whether British-born Abner Rogers, the Los Angeles coach who arrives without top-level experience, and staff will be able to further Marta's tactical development.
She will play for arch-conservative Philip Anschutz and his Anschutz Entertainment Group that owns the Los Angeles Galaxy and developed Home Depot Center. AEG in 2001 acquired a 49 percent share in Stockholm club Hammarby Fotboll; it is also a stakeholder in two German ice hockey teams.
Culture shock hopefully will be smoothed by the presence of friend Johanna Frisk, signed by the Sol as a defender, and by connections with local Brazilians. She will have to negotiate the isolating effects of money and notoriety in a culture lacking the connectedness and spiritual resources of Alagoas or the Scandinavian town. Maybe hang out with Becks?
In Umeå her last footprints will disappear from the snowpack come April or May. Supporters may reference her words to Graciano about love: "I believe in love, but not in eternal love. Everything finishes one day."
Even so, according to Ruuth, "she will be remembered."

I just upgraded the app today and purchased the expansion. I'm almost finished with the Cthulhu campaign, but the game keeps locking up after I complete a mission. It displays the closed curtains after I win the mission, but just hangs there with the music playing in the background. So I reloaded and tried it again. Same problem. Reloaded, didn't complete the mission which switched characters. Had that character complete a mission and it hangs again. Something about successfully finishing is causing the game to lock up.
Expansion causes game to freeze on iPad
Posted 05 April 2012 - 04:48 PM
Posted 06 April 2012 - 09:44 AM
I had the exact same problem playing on the iPod Touch. I was in the second area, had two of the three relics, and when I completed one of the adventures it froze on the closed curtains. Very frustrating, especially since I felt like I was in pretty good shape, and the Cthulhu campaign is so awesome and suspenseful.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 12:37 AM
I have the same problem, but with any adventure. I tried resetting my iPad and resuming the game more than once, but no luck.
Hoping for a quick fix soon or possibly a workaround.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 02:27 AM
Ok, so I tried a few different things to see if I could work around the freezing problem:
Uninstalling, rebooting iPad and reinstalling game - did not work.
Regardless of which adventure I try to complete, the game still freezes. If I "skip" a character's turn by shopping, the game will freeze once I complete the next character's adventure. Not sure exactly how far into the Cthulhu campaign it is, but it seems to be a consistent thing. The game freezes at the transition screen.
For the record, I have a "New iPad 4g+wifi 64gb".
If there is anyway I can help or provide more information, please let me know.

I have the same setup (minus the 4G) and the same bug - I can continue the game and skip a character, but anyone who completes a mission locks up the game.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 01:47 PM
So I booted up the game to try it again and it turns out it saved my game exactly where it was. But whenever I complete another mission it keeps freezing again. I'm playing on the newest iPod Touch.
Posted 07 April 2012 - 07:09 PM
Confirmed this is happening to me also, on an iPhone 4. Pretty much as described by others above, specifically with the Call of Cthulhu campaign. A bit frustrating, since it seems to be a showstopping bug and seemingly occurring consistently across platforms, should have been caught before release. I enjoy the game, I hope a fix can be relatively quick, and thanks...
Posted 08 April 2012 - 12:34 AM
Happens to me too. This is my first play through the expansion campaign. It started locking on the Altar of Madness adventure (steam boat + key) although that probably isn't relevant. I can't remember which adventure came right before it. I have two investigators left: Wilson Richards and Jenny Barnes.
Kind regards,
Mads Østerby
Posted 10 April 2012 - 05:12 AM
The same thing is happening to me on my Samsung Galaxy S, after completing the Twilight Ritual mission with Ashcan Pete. Completing a different mission yields the same results.
I abandoned the game and started a new one (which was painful since I had been doing pretty well), and so far I seem to be able to complete missions again. But I haven't played for long since it seems likely that it will eventually happen again and force me to abandon the game again.
Posted 10 April 2012 - 05:27 AM
It's the third time for me that the game freezes in the new campaign (during the curtain transition). It seems to happen after completing the event "Raging Storm", and after that I can not complete any other mission, even if I skip characters. I'm a bit disapointed, and nevertheless frustrated : this campaign is a real struggle to keep a good team alive with good items, it's really good, and I can't finish it because of this bug... I'll try again tomorrow, but for now it appears to be a real problem (on iPad 2 for me), and 1. I regret a bit having spent my few bucks on a unfinished expansion and 2. I don't understand how it can have been released that way... waiting for a bug fix...
Posted 10 April 2012 - 07:14 AM
Which one is Raging Storm? I don't remember off-hand the last adventure I completed before the game started freezing.
Posted 11 April 2012 - 07:40 AM
So I went through again and was able to complete the campaign and defeat Cthulhu this time without it freezing up on me. I did do the Raging Storm adventure along the way, so I don't think that was responsible for the freeze.
Posted 11 April 2012 - 08:28 PM
Well, you're lucky^^. Happened to me again. Raging storm might not be the problem, anyway somewhere near the end (Rlyeh discovered, 2 or 3 gems...) I can't do anything but playing on the boat with my characters, or the game freezes. Bah, I'll wait for a fix...
Posted 12 April 2012 - 02:53 PM
I'll add my name to the list having this issue. For me, its on my iphone 4. Much as others have said, somewhere during the final stage (after discovering Ryleh), I know get a freeze on the curtains after I complete a mission. I am okay if I shop (though I did buy a relic and get one of the gems I already had. Suck.)
It has happened to me twice, as I started a new game after my first one froze. In both cases, it seems to start late in the final stage, I think in both cases I had two gems. In my current game, it was when I got the third gem that the adventure didn't complete and the game froze.
I really hope there is a fix for this because I must say, the new Cthulhu campaign is absolutely fantastic. I love it. I just want to play it !
Posted 13 April 2012 - 03:41 PM
The game hangs (its curtains) for me as well during the Cthulhu campaign...
Posted 17 April 2012 - 09:09 PM
Any comment from the developers yet? Very annoying this bug as it prevents us from finishing the campaign.
Posted 18 April 2012 - 07:58 AM
UPDATE: They just posted a fix for this. I'm in the process of downloading it right now. *fingers crossed*
Posted 23 April 2012 - 06:29 PM
It works ! finished it yesterday... pretty easy finally huhuhu^^...

I have avoided talking about the Cards up until now because I had a somewhat irrational belief that if I just ignored them (and, yeah, clicked my heels together and said, "There's no place like home!") they would just vaporize into the mist of Eliminated Baseball Teams.
Not so, apparently.
The NLCS is all tied up, 2-2, between St. Louis (I will not call it St. Lulu. I repeat, I will not call it St. Lulu.) and it's altogether a lot tighter than I would have expected. And it's killing me.
It's not that I hate St. Louis, because really, they're a fun team and they beat out the Braves to the wildcard, which is enough to make me love just about anyone. Rationally, if they beat the Crew, I would sigh and be done with it, after mourning for the disappearance of Axford's mustache from my TV screen. But as it is, I can't stand them at all.
It goes back to ancient history, I think. Not ancient in the sense of those awesome reliefs from the 8th century, B.C. Just in the sense of coughcough2006coughcough.
Anyone else remember? I'm sure you do. The Mets epic downfall in the NLCS. What some people called the greatest collapse in the history of everything (that is, Major League Baseball). I remember that series vividly and the serious case of Baseball Fan Heartbreak that followed. And then watching the Cardinals go on to the win the World Series?
Not fun. Not fun at all.
And that, my friends, is why I can't bring myself to even marginally like the Cardinals even though I'm sure they're a totally lovely group of guys.
Well, that and the fact that I am IN BEAST MODE! Duh!

Updated: December 10, 2012 6:06AM
In 1934, a play was written that was so controversial that it was banned from being performed in many cities including Chicago because of its subject matter.
Officials at Spotlight Theater in New Lenox have chosen that play, "The Children's Hour," to kick off its seventh season.
"The Children's Hour" was written by Lillian Hellman and is directed by Brian Leo, of Mokena.
Performances will take place from Nov. 9-18 at Spotlight Theater Studio in New Lenox.
The show is produced by Jeff Gamlin, of Westmont, who is the artistic director and Spotlight's cofounder.
The play is based on a true story from Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1810.
Two women who were longtime friends and schoolmates decide to start a school for girls.
Things were going well, but one can't have that many children without there being a troublemaker.
And the troublemaker, unfortunately, is the granddaughter of the school's biggest benefactor.
"Eventually, however, she had to be disciplined," Leo said.
"And to get her revenge, the young lady told the grandmother that the two women were lesbian lovers.
"They weren't, but this started a scandal and the wealthy old lady called her wealthy friends. They all removed their girls from the school immediately and the school collapsed.
"They sued her for slander, and it dragged through the courts for many years."
The appellate court found for the two women and assessed damages against the lady, who simply never paid them.
"They chased her around for years and she just refused to pay. Their careers and reputations were ruined. One of the ladies just couldn't take it anymore and hanged herself," Leo said.
"This (show) was banned in 1934 simply because of the reference to lesbianism. It's not a play about lesbianism; it's a play about lying and gossip."
Hollywood made two attempts at putting the play on the big screen. Both failed in his opinion.
The first completely left out the lesbian element, and the second gave it a happy ending.
Leo is setting the play in McCarthy-era 1950s not only because it works but because it's easier to find costumes.
"I don't think the story would have the same impact today because it's not as scandalous today. But at the time, it ruined their lives," Leo said.
He said he was challenged not only by the gravitas of the script but by the six child actors.
"Children are usually in musicals and comedies, not serious dramas," Leo said. "It's more of a challenge to get dramatic acting out of children. It's a little daunting."
The girls range in ages from 10-15 and struggle with the material because this kind of intolerance is blessedly unfamiliar to them, he said.
"My adult actors are magnificent. I couldn't ask better for what I'm getting out of them," Leo said.
When he interviewed for the directing job, he was asked what he wanted audiences to get from the production.
"I said, 'I don't believe that theater is worth doing unless it impacts the audience so they aren't the same when they leave,' " Leo said.
"And you can't help but examine your own conscience — what have you gossiped about, what lies have you told people, and what's the ripple effect of them?
"It's very sobering."

Lineside Passes
A Lineside pass gives the photographer a unique opportunity to gain some unique shots of trains on the West Somerset Railway.
Please see our Restricted areas on the West Somerset Railway document for further information.
The process for being issued with a West Somerset Railway Lineside Pass has changed. The Board of Directors of the West Somerset Railway have decided that the procedure for the Issue of the Passes must be changed and it is now as follows:-
1. Before a West Somerset Railway Lineside Photographic Pass is issued the applicant must attend a Personal Track Safety Course and pass a subsequent exam. The PTS Card that will be issued to successful applicants will be valid for three years.
2. Once the applicant has passed the PTS Exam I will issue the Pass which will be valid for one year from date of issue. (This takes us back to the former system whereby you will be notified in advance of the renewal date falling due rather than having a mass renewal in January.
3. When the LSP is issued you will also receive a WSR Lineside Photographers hi-vis vest which will have the number of your Pass on it. This will show who is fully entitled to be here.
To arrange your PTS you should contact Geoff Cross the WSR Training Officer via firstname.lastname@example.com or 16 Elms Road, Wellington, Somerset, TA21 8EE.
The courses are deliberately aimed to take place before Galas and if you pass you will be issued with a temporary Lineside Pass to get you out and about at the lineside straight away.
He will also arrange one-off courses for 3 or more applicants so if you normally attend the West Somerset Railway in a group that may be more suitable for your needs.
The courses and exam last from 10.00 to 14.00 and you will need to bring existing hi-vis with you.
The cost is £50 per person which will include the hi-vis and the PTS course. No cheques will be cashed until the applicant has passed the PTS exam. Renewals for the next 2 years will be cheaper.
There will be an exemption for holders of valid PTS certification from the mainline railway companies. Photographic PTS or other trackside PTS from other Heritage Railways is not acceptable.
A Lineside Pass application Form will follow separately.

by HOPE
HOPE begun as a creative discussion between two friends, Swedish designers Ann Ringstrand and Stefan Söderberg, who were passionate and extremely interested in well-made utility wear. Realizing a lack in modern and useful Outerwear and Trousers for women, the pair launched HOPE in Autumn 2002. The concept was built around updated, masculine style using unexpected fabrics and redesigned vintage garments. The result is a collection of easy, tailored looks with utility for everyday wear. In 2005, a collection for men was added to the concept along with a complete range of shoes and accessories. Back To Product View All From This Designer

Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.

Snoring isn't harmful to most people. However, it can be a symptom of a life threatening sleep disorder called sleep apnea, especially if it's also accompanied by severe daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea is marked by pauses in breathing while the person is asleep. People suffering from it generally wake up frequently during the night gasping for air. The pauses in breathing can strain the heart and cardiovascular system, and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease because it reduces the blood oxygen levels.
Snoring on a regular basis has also been associated with hypertension. Obesity and a large neck can contribute to sleep apnea. It can be treated so if you're a man or a woman who snores loudly and frequently and if you or your partner notice pauses in your breathing while you're asleep, you should consult your physician.
No. Sleep experts say most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night for optimum performance, health and safety. When we cut a few hours of sleep out of our routine, we accumulate sleep debt that we need to "pay back." You should, however make up for lost sleep but do it by adding a couple of hours of sleep each day until you have made up for lost sleep and try to do it by going to bed earlier rather than sleeping later so you're still able to wake up at the same time. If you're paying back your sleep debt by napping, take a nap every day and don't nap too long.
Remember that sleep deprivation has been linked to other problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, moodiness, decreased productivity, as well as safety issues it can cause the individual and others. Make sure you're getting enough uninterrupted sleep each night by paying attention to your mattress. It should feel comfortable to you and provide proper support. 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep is better than 8 hours of fragmented sleep.
No. According to sleep experts, teens need 8 ½ - 9 ¼ hours of sleep each night. Also, their biological clocks naturally keep them awake later into the evening and keep them sleeping later into the morning. As a result, many teens come to school sleepy because they're body is telling them they should be sleeping, and not because they're lazy.
Insomnia is characterized by a number of symptoms. Difficulty falling asleep is one symptom associated with insomnia. Others may include waking up too early and not being able to fall back asleep, frequent awakenings in the middle of the night, and waking up feeling tired or unrefreshed. It can also be associated with a medical or psychological/psychiatric problem and can often be treated. If you experience symptoms of insomnia more than a few times a week and it impacts your daytime functions, you should discuss the symptoms with your physician.
Yes. Studies have found a relationship between the quantity and quality of one's sleep and many health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and depression. For example, insufficient sleep affects growth hormone secretion that is linked to obesity; as the amount of hormone secretion decreases, the chance for weight gain increases. Blood pressure usually falls during the sleep cycle, however, interrupted sleep can adversely affect this normal decline, leading to hypertension and cardiovascular problems. Research has also shown that insufficient sleep impairs the body's ability to use insulin, which can lead to the onset of diabetes. More and more scientific studies are showing correlations between poor and insufficient sleep and disease.
No. Sleep experts recommend 7-9 hours of sleep for all adults, including seniors. While our sleeping patterns change as we age, the amount of sleep we need does not. To help get adequate sleep, seniors should try to stay active both mentally and physically and keep a regular sleep schedule, waking and going to bed at the same time each day. Naps are recommended for daytime drowsiness, but they should be limited to 30 minutes.
No. The body rests during sleep, however the brain remains active, "recharges" itself and continues to control many body functions while we're asleep, including breathing. When we sleep, we tend to drift between two sleep states, REM (rapid eye movement) ad non-REM, in 90-minute cycles. Non-REM sleep has four stages, each with distinct features. The stages range from drowsiness, to "deep sleep", to stages three and four where awakenings are more difficult and where the most positive and restorative effects of sleep occur. Even in the deepest non-REM sleep stage, our minds can still process information. REM sleep is an active sleep where dreams occur, breathing and heart rate increase and become irregular, muscles relax and eyes move back and forth under the eyelids.
Waking up in the night and not being able to fall back to sleep is a symptom of insomnia. Peaceful thoughts may help to induce sleep more than the old adage of counting sheep, which some research suggests may actually be more distracting than relaxing. Whatever technique you use, experts say you should get up go to another room and engage in another relaxing activity if you don't fall back to sleep in 15-20 minutes. Reading or listening to music is recommended. Return to your bed when you feel sleepy again.
Yes and no. If you experience difficulty falling asleep at night, you should probably avoid naps during the day. However, if you're having trouble getting enough sleep at night, naps are a good idea. People in many cultures nap during the day sometime between 1:00 and 4:00 in the afternoon and studies have shown that naps are helpful in a variety of ways. For example, Europeans and Latin Americans, most of whom nap regularly, score better on stress tests than Americans. Studies have shown that the risk of heart disease can be decreased by regular thirty-minute naps. Naps can enhance your ability to pay attention to details and to make decisions. Something else to know about naps, is that those taken about eight hours after you wake are better than adding that time to already adequate nocturnal sleep. Naps improve mood and alertness. Naps aren't just for kids!
Sometimes sleep interruptions are unavoidable, such as having a newborn to attend to or if you're experiencing a period of physical pain or other medical reasons which may be temporary or need the assistance from a physician.
Most of us, however, can do things to experience, refreshing, rejuvenating sleep by modifying a few things. There are 5 main reasons for interrupted sleep:
Creating a bedroom environment conducive to sleep (dark, cool and quiet), and limiting your time in bed to what you need, and no longer, will help you deepen sleep and avoid awakening during the night. Your mattress set should be comfortable and provide proper support. If it's sagging or worn or more than 10 years old, you should begin to shop for a new set.
Keeping a regular bedtime schedule and avoiding long naps during the day will also help you achieve deeper and longer nocturnal sleep. Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly are also important, and will help with relaxing and reducing mental stress. If you're tossing and turning, it may be due to your mattress or your partner's tossing and turning. If your mattress isn't comfortable to you, you will constantly be trying to get comfortable, disrupting your sleep throughout the night. You may also be interrupting your partner's sleep when you toss and turn. Many mattresses transfer the motion from your partner to you, increasing the chances of interrupting your sleep even further.
Medical conditions can also affect the quantity and quality of your sleep. If you have a medical condition or sleep disorder, you should consult a medical professional. However, just leading an active lifestyle can sometimes lead to aches and pains--many people suffer from chronic back pain or sore muscles. The type of mattress you sleep on can play an important role in your body's recovery from an active day. Consider visiting Mattress Discounters to check out our lineup of products, which are designed to help support the natural shape of your spine while you sleep or our Sealy Posturepedic range, which also provide proper support while you sleep.
