There were 25 managers in a recent leadership program I facilitated. Part of the program included a pre-work assessment where each manager and their direct reports assessed the manager's leadership behaviors and overall effectiveness.
For many leaders around the globe today, such feedback is unusual — and a bit threatening. Most organizations don't provide leaders with this kind of feedback very often.[…] Continue Reading »

Social data and analytics are all the rage these days, but what precisely should companies do with the information they collect? In the case of hotel chain Best Western, the answer was to engage with customers through social media. It partnered with SaaS customer experience management company Medallia to boost TripAdvisor scores for participating properties.
In this Q&A, Michelle de Haaff, Medallia's vice president of marketing and a self-declared social media junkie, offer their tips for successful social media engagement with customers, advice on how to handle social data and thoughts on ways that mobile is reshaping how brands and consumers interact.[…] Continue Reading »

Advertising Week covers a range of topics, but potty training may still seem like an unlikely one.
Still, toddlers and diapers were all the buzz as day two of the Mobile Marketing Association's SM2 conference kicked off on Wednesday.
Melanie Huet of Kimberly-Clark and Dwayne Raupp of Organic discussed the implementation of and lessons learned from the Pull-Ups Time to Potty app, a mobile application that gives parents a way to reward children as they transition out of diapers.[…] Continue Reading »

A central part of any social media strategist's job is to stay up-to-date with the latest changes in newsfeed algorithms, analytics features and paid post programs. After managing social programs for a wide variety of brands, I've discovered that the best strategy is not to be reactive to these changes, but rather to authentically engage with users.[…] Continue Reading »

There is no viral button on the Internet. (While I've always wondered what the F6 button does on a Mac, I don't think it helps a brand garner millions of video views).
That said, there are many ways a digital campaign can be structured to encourage social sharing and engagement and go viral. There is no one-size fits all approach, but there are many common traits that come along with running a popular online campaign.[…] Continue Reading »

- The iShares US Home Construction ETF is approaching a critical test of post-recession highs.
- Stock action, short interest, and housing data are all converging on what looks like an imminent breakout. The slow and quiet pace of these catalysts support a sustained move.
- A major analyst upgrade in the sector seemed to confirm as well as support the building momentum.
- New home sales hit a fresh post-recession high in September.
- Major revision downward of August sales still preserves the overall uptrend from the post-recession lows.
- This month's notably large move occurred in the under $150K segment of sales. The share of all sales in this segment had been trending downward for 2 years.
- The reaction to the data from iShares US Home Construction provides a potential sign that 2014's downtrend is finally reaching an end.
- August home builder sentiment surged to new post-recession highs.
- Housing starts continue positive year-over-year growth.
- This week, looking to new home sales and especially private residential fixed investment to confirm that iShares US Home Construction is overdue for a snapback rally.
- July single-family new home sales print within recent range.
- Regional performance varied widely from a sinking Northeast to a strong South.
- Months of inventory has reached "balance" for the first time since the post-recession housing bottom.
- I am assuming home builders will slowly ramp production back down under current conditions and margins are likely capped for now (in aggregate).
- Defying June's bearishness, July housing starts surge to impressive post-recession levels.
- Regional performance is still volatile, underlining importance of looking past headline numbers for key drivers.
- The iShares US Home Construction ETF has not only responded with gains in the wake of good housing news, but it also has held these gains so far.
- Strong existing home sales numbers are reaching post-recession highs and adding to encouraging housing picture.
- Affordability and the prospect of higher rates remain important caveats.
- iShares US Home Construction continues to get buffeted by a healthy mix of bullish and bearish indicators in the housing market.
- A recovery in home builder sentiment suggests that disappointing housing starts are more likely indicative of an on-going "bumping along" for the housing market.
- The Southern region greatly distorted the May to June housing start numbers just as it has throughout the housing recovery.
- Year-over-year changes in single-family housing starts are showing extremes in volatility that should further temper efforts to draw definitive conclusions.
- Home builder sentiment jumps in June and seems to confirm overall stabilization.
- 2014 is the third year in a row sentiment makes a spring recovery after a sharp drop in March.
- Sentiment remains supportive of investments in iShares US Home Construction.
- There are encouraging signs from strong April housing starts and forward-looking builder sentiment.
- Affordability increasing again, with cooling housing prices, lower rates, and rising median incomes.
- Potentially growing stalemate, as burden of student debt looming as next headwind for household formation.
- Overall, risks are to the upside, and warrant close monitoring of the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF.
- Residential employment prints 31st straight month of year-over-year growth.
- The Housing Market Index has stabilized the last 2 months with signs of life in April.
- Short interest in the iShares US Home Construction plunges to 9-month lows.
- Signs are adding up to a slightly more encouraging outlook for home builders.
- Employment and mortgage rates are two most important drivers for housing recovery.
- Employment is recovering and QE exit has been fully priced in current mortgage rate.
- Fundamentals to support an organic housing recovery are in place.
- Recent ITB price correction presents a good buying opportunity.
- Employment in residential construction remains strong.
- ITB continues its dip anyway as TLT also takes a tumble and downgrades follow.
- Reversal in short interest could be confirming ITB's breakout.

No GDP Resonance In New Home Sales EitherJoseph Calhoun • Dec. 24, 2014
Yesterday, 10:20 AM
- December new home sales coming in at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 481K was the strongest print since June 2008, notes the WSJ's Nick Timiraos, but the 2014 total of 435K only edged higher from 2013's 429K.
- In 2007, new home sales totaled 776K. At the bottom in 2011, they were 306K.
- Previously: New home sales strong in December (Jan. 27)
Mon, Jan. 26, 10:49 AM
- D.R. Horton (DHI +7.4%) earlier reported FQ1 (ending Dec. 31) results which beat estimates and also said the sales pace has picked up in January.
- On the earnings call, management guides for 2015 gross margins of roughly 20% - earlier this month, both Lennar and KB Home warned on margins in 2015.
- Lennar (LEN +2.7%), KB Home (KBH +1.7%), Toll Brothers (TOL +1.4%), Hovnanian (HOV +2.2%), PulteGroup (PHM +1.9%), Ryland (RYL +1.5%)
Wed, Jan. 21, 8:46 AM
- December housing starts of 1.089M were up 4.4% from November and 5.3% from a year earlier. Single-family starts of 728K gained 7.2% from November.
- Building permits of 1.032M actually fell 1.9% from November, but were 1% higher than a year ago. Single-family permits of 667K were up 4.5% from November, and multi-family permits fell 12.4%.

- Hovnanian (HOV -5%), M/I Homes (MHO -3.1%), and Taylor Morrison (TMHC -4.3%) are all cut at JMP Securities, with MHO and TMHC now Market Performs, and HOV now Underperform.
- Credit Suisse, meanwhile, also cuts Taylor Morrison. Alongside, the team downgrades Ryland Group (RYL -3.2%), Meritage Homes (MTH -3.4%), and PulteGroup (PHM -3.3%) to Underperform, noting margin declines (see KB Home and Lennar earnings) and a slowdown in Texas thanks to oil's plunge.
- There's one upgrade, and that's NVR (NVR), which is boosted to Neutral from Underperform at Credit Suisse.

Thu, Jan. 15, 11:31 AM
- The company earlier reported bottom-line results which beat estimates, but the top line slightly missed.
- FQ4 (ending Nov. 30) deliveries of 6,950 homes gained 23% from a year ago. New orders of 5,492 homes up 22%, up 24% in dollar terms. ASP of $329K vs. $307K a year ago. Incentives of 23.1K per home, or 6.6% of home sales revenue vs. $20.6K and 6.3% a year ago.
- Backlogs of 5,832 homes up 21%, up 22% in dollar terms.
- Gross margins of 25.6% fell 120 basis points from a year ago. Operating margin of 16% down 90 bps.

Tue, Jan. 13, 12:03 PM
- Demand in some of its markets deteriorated as Q4 progressed, says KB Home (KBH -12.6%) management on the earnings call, and gross margins in Q1 are expected to be down "significantly" from the year-ago level.
- Pressed by analysts on the comments, management says it expects Q1 will be a low point for the year, with sequential improvement to follow. Not wanting to put too fine of a number on what it expects margins to be this year, management says achieving the 20% long-term target is unlikely.
- Webcast here
- Previously: Homebuilders whacked as KB Home starts earnings call (Jan. 13)
- ETFs: ITB -1.5%, XHB -0.3% - XHB's better performance reflects its higher focus on building suppliers, rather than homebuilders.
Tue, Jan. 13, 11:48 AM
- Up earlier after reporting a strong FQ4, KB Home (KBH -12.2%) goes into the tank as the earnings call begins and management warns on margins.
- Webcast here
- Some homebuilders are red, some are green, but all are well off session highs in sympathy: Hovnanian (HOV -2.7%), D.R. Horton (DHI -2.3%), Toll Brothers (TOL +0.3%), PulteGroup (PHM -0.6%), Ryland (RYL +0.2%)
- ETFs: ITB, XHB

Wed, Jan. 7, 11:04 AM
- Bloomberg is reporting the president as set to announce a 50 basis point reduction in FHA fees to 0.85% at an event in Phoenix tomorrow. The news isn't good for private mortgage insurers who have been happily raking in market share gains at the expense of the government agency, but the homebuilders are a different story.
- Previously: Mortgage insurers tumble on report of cut in FHA premiums (Jan. 7)
- ETFs: ITB +3%, XHB +2.5%
- Toll Brothers (TOL +2.7%), Lennar (LEN +3.8%), D.R. Horton (DHI +4%), Ryland (RYL +2.9%), KB Home (KBH +2.5%), Hovnanian (HOV +3.6%), PulteGroup (PHM +3.9%).
Dec. 31, 2014, 8:43 AM
- Among the more interesting is the idea of North Korea hackers attacking the infrastructure of the NYSE and Nasdaq, precipitating a gigantic one-hour drop in stocks.
- Others include: 1) Significantly higher Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) estimates, making it the first $1T market cap company, the best-performing large-cap in 2015, and a "must own." 2) Falling home prices in H2, making shorts of homebuilders (ITB, XHB) a good play 3) Bank stocks (NYSEARCA:XLF) have a hard time of it 4) Calling Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) his new Netflix, Carl Icahn amasses a sizable position, forcing a bidding war for the company between Google and Facebook 5) Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) becomes more shareholder friendly, cutting spending and launching a buyback program 6) Activists take aim at Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), forcing John Chambers out 7) Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B) makes its largest-ever acquisition, and its not in consumer goods, but instead in energy, retail, or construction/equipment.

Dec. 23, 2014, 10:15 AM
- November new home sales at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 438K were off 1.6% from the previous month, and also lower by 1.6% from a year ago.
- A longer-term chart shows the current amount of new home sales to be at a level associated with the bottom of the deep recession of the early 1990s. There's also a pretty wide divergence between the confidence level of homebuilders (surging upward) and the path of new home sales.
- ITB +0.7%, XHB +0.9% on today's session.
- Previously: New home sales disappoint in November (Dec. 23)

Dec. 10, 2014, 3:53 PM
- "Why 2014 was a pause and flat to 2013 and not improving has been a bit puzzling," says Toll Brothers (TOL -7.6%) management on the earnings call.
- Asked about the impact of tumbling energy prices on markets like Dallas and Houston, management says the company's exposure there is small, with Houston accounting for 3.7% of signed contracts.
- Overall, Toll expects the housing recovery to be "bumpy," and that demand will truly return when buyers no longer fear price drops.
- Previously: Toll Brothers slips on FQ4 miss (Dec. 10, 2014)
- It's a different story (at least for the stock price) with Hovanian (HOV +5.9%) after its earning report today. Management: "It's an understatement to say that the past 12 months have been choppy ... Given the gains we've seen in employment, we would have expected stronger home sales."
- Previously: Hovnanian pops as fiscal 2015 starts off strong (Dec. 10, 2014)
- Other builders today: Ryland (RYL -5.1%), Lennar (LEN -5.3%), Beazer (BZH -5.1%), Pulte (PHM -3.5%), KB Home (KBH -5.1%).

- "There is a group of millennials that are waiting out there to jump into the market that do have the ability to repay," say FHFA officials on a call announcing official approval of 97% LTV mortgages.
- Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA -2%), which has more experience with the program, is already accepting applications, but Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC -2.1%) - newer to the product - is waiting until late March for full implementation.

Nov. 18, 2014, 3:56 PM
- The IPO market remains hot - 344 companies have filed to go public so far this year, the most in a decade - but not so for homebuilders. After eight builders raised $1.77B issuing new shares in 2013 and 2014's first half - the first IPOs since 2004 - the momentum has faded as the pace of new home sales remains sluggish.
- "The public equity market right now is not an attractive place," says Utah-based Woodside Homes chief Joel Shine. His company filed for an IPO in March, but instead decided to raise capital from existing investors and by issuing $50M of debt. The company in H1 posted sales roughly flat with that of a year ago.
- Of the eight builder stocks gone public sine 2013, five - TPH, CCS, WLH, UCP, TMHC - now trade for less than their IPO prices, while two - NWHM, WCIC - are modestly higher. Only one - LGI Homes (NASDAQ:LGIH) - has significantly outperformed the S&P 500.
- ETFs: ITB, XHB
Nov. 18, 2014, 10:13 AM
- "Growing confidence among consumers is what's fueling this optimism among builders," says NAHB Chairman Kevin Kelly, a home builder and developer from Wilmington, DE. "Members in many areas of the country continue to see increasing buyer traffic and signed contracts."
- This month''s read of 58 is four points higher than October, and three points better than consensus estimates.
- The index of current sales conditions rose five points to 62, while the index for futures sales gained two points to 66. An index gauging prospective buyer traffic added four points to 45.
- Previously: NAHB Housing Market Index
Nov. 10, 2014, 10:08 AM
- Releasing preliminary FQ4 results ahead of a conference presentation, Toll Brothers reported sizable year-over-year sales gains both in terms of units and dollars. The ASP of homes delivered of $747K was up 6.3% from a year ago. The ASP of signed contracts in FQ4 of $757K was up 5%.
- PulteGroup (PHM +2.6%) is also benefitting from an upgrade to Buy at BofA. Others: Lennar (LEN +2.7%), D.R. Horton (DHI +2.1%), Ryland (RYL +3.1%), Hovnanian (HOV +3.4%), KB Home (KBH +3.1%).

Gatlin-to-Miller handoff costly
ATHENS, Greece -- Stymied by a sloppy handoff in the middle of the race, the United States lost to Great Britain by a hundredth of a second Saturday night in the 400-meter relay -- a race the American men usually dominate.
U.S. anchor Maurice Greene took the baton in second place and made up ground on Britain's Mark Lewis-Francis, but could not catch him. The two leaned at the finish but Lewis-Francis' chest cleared the line a hair ahead of Greene's.
"I almost caught him in the end, but almost isn't good enough. I hope we pleased the fans and I hope we didn't let anybody down. If we did, I apologize," Greene said.
"I saw people in front of me. I said, `Go get 'em.' At the very end, I thought maybe I got him. But I guess I didn't. It was a tough race."
The British won in 38.07 seconds, and the Americans won silver in 38.08 -- after saying for days they would threaten the world record of 37.40. Nigeria took bronze.
The U.S. relay was undermined by a poor handoff from its second runner, 100-meter gold medalist Justin Gatlin, to Coby Miller. That cost precious hundredths of seconds, and left Greene with too much territory to make up.
"I stepped on (Coby's) foot and ripped a hole in his shoe. Thank God I didn't cut him," Gatlin said. "I think he did a good job making up ground, especially with a ripped shoe."
The United States has won the relay 15 of the 20 times it has been run, not including the boycotted 1980 Moscow Games. But the Americans have failed to win the relay in three of the last five Olympics.
"I wasn't worried about Maurice Greene, I knew I had it as soon as I got the baton," Lewis-Francis said. "We have proved everyone wrong today. Everyone ran the race of their life."

Also a bit more homework needs to be done before your next round of babbling. It wasn't $8.5m from Wallen alone it was made up of around 30 investors including a bunch from the east coast, Wallen & a group called WDM. Obviously whatever gets raised by the new board will be substantially more that Montano ever did. I found out from one of the user names that it another director who put in both the seed capital & then raised the rest of the money including the IPO. Also I wonder how much Wallen has put in to keep the company afloat whilst getting rid of the riff raff from the board?

Ollie Mealing: Creative progress requires pursuit of these two elements
November 10th, 2014 | Joe Hadsall | Filed Under GeneralOllie Mealing, creator of Control and Recoil, is a consultant for Derren Brown and created some of magic's most-buzzed about videos on the Internet. On a break, he got a chance to check in about the key process behind making creative progress, and learning how to unlock the creative spark that leads to original ideas.
Everybody has goals they wish to progress towards, but hope and luck are no basis for a strategy — achievement requires knowledge.
At the heart of progress is information. When we acquire information we strengthen our knowledge and therefore gain progress towards discovering how we can achieve our goal — developing a strategy that allows us to regularly increase and practice our knowledge is the key to continual progress.
So if we regularly need information to progress, then we need to know how to reliably obtain it.
For that, in my mind, we're reliant upon a combination of inspiration and motivation, or in other words, ideas worthy of acting upon. The potency of inspiration affects the consequent feeling of motivation, when the desire to fulfil an idea feels significant, motivation takes over and spurs us on with an abundance of energy.
As beneficial as this is, it blinds from considering every idea as being worthy of acting upon, which we must do if we're to discover their true worth. Providing we act on our ideas they will always provide us with new information. It's this recurring insight that allows us to build up our knowledge and create new, wiser ideas, which promotes the cycle's continuance and strength.
Progress requires information which results from acting on ideas — you need to pursue something in order to learn from it.
So how can we enable ideas to emerge?

Awesome Topper! After being in a car accident a few months ago, where, thanks to a drunk driver I had several bones broken including my shoulder, hip and pelvis, my old bed has not been very comfortable. I had been getting up every night in the wee hours of the morning to sleep in my recliner - until I bought this mattress topper. EASILY the best money I have ever spent. It is soft enough that I sink into it a bit but firm enough to support my body and prevent pressure build up on my still healing bones and joints. I had been worried about the temperature, afraid that it would be too hot to sleep on as I get hot at night anyway. We have not had a problem with this at all and we live in Florida. I do have a mattress pad over it to protect it and that may help. We slept on it the first night we got it, after airing it out for about 6 hrs. There was still a mild smell for a couple of days but it was not overpowering at all, nothing like some memory foam I have smelled in the past. Simply put, this is a fantastic topper and I am so very happy I bought it! For reference I am 140lbs and my 250+ lb husband loves it just as much as I do.

Not hot, not smelly, just GREAT! This memory foam mattress pad with gel is super comfortable and is worth spending the money especially if you are in a dorm situation like I am. Students should definitely consider this pad to make those dorm beds bearable. It is not hot but then again I live in Seattle so Fall weather isn't too hot here so we'll see come spring. I am very satisfied with this product!

Love this topper! I have chronic lower back pain and getting comfortable at night to sleep has been an issue for me for years. I purchased a very firm mattress set several years ago hoping it would be the perfect mattress, but it was hard to get a good sleep because I would have pressure points on my hips and feet at times. With this topper I don't have that anymore and I am sleeping much better. It took me several nights to get used to sleeping on it, but I absolutely love it now!!!! Great purchase.

The best mattress topper EVER! Initially I was a little nervous about this purchase because the memory foam toppers are known for heat retention and living in Miami it's already hot enough. I have been pleasantly surprised by this topper, it doesn't retain anymore heat than our regular mattress which is great because my husband is a hot sleeper and he hasn't had any issues with that. When the topper first arrived, I have to say I wasn't happy with the appearance of the box which was torn to shreds but the topper seemed to be in good shape. I read the instructions, which said the package included a cover for the topper but no cover was to be found. May have fallen out of the destroyed box. Anyway, I followed the instructions and within 5 minutes my 9 year old was all over my bed talking about how soft and comfortable it was. I put a mattress cover on the topper then my sheets and have been thrilled ever since. The first night took a little getting used to but after that I have slept like a baby. I can't wait to get in bed every night because my bed went from being uncomfortable and I was tossing and turning all night, to being the most comfortable place to be on the planet. My husband gets up to go to work at 2am and most of the time now I sleep right through him getting up out of bed. I recommend this topper to everyone!

The comfort my back needed I have had 2 back surgeries on herniated discs (I am only 36) and remember reading that a firm mattress is what is recommended for bad backs. So I bought a Sealy Posturpedic Firm matress before my first surgery in 2010. I thought is was great. The the second surgery came and the matteress seemed to work well then too. Recently, I found myself unable to lay on my back and since surgery never able to lay on my stomach (it's bad for you whether you have a good back or not). I was only able to sleep on my sides. You can understand how that could get very annoying and tiresome even for my shoulders. So I looked into getting a mattress topper thinking that it would conform to my back and allow me some better rest through the nights. I bought this 3 inch topper because I read that people usually by 2-3 inch toppers for comfort. I got this topper and thank the Lord, was able to sleep comfortably for the first time in months. I sleep on my back and it supports the natural curvature of the spine. I feel enveloped when on my sides. It is so comfortable!!! I had no problems with any funky smell that people claim they have with these toppers. If you are debating about whether to get this, why not try it? It worked for me and now my family members are considering getting one for each of their beds too. Nighty night!

Love it! This topper is very comfortable. I needed to replace my serta topper, and I thought I would try one with the cooling option. I get hot when I sleep. This topper is great. It doesn't exactly keep me cool, but it does not hold heat, which my last one did. I would not get one more that 3 inches unless you also get a mattress pad and sheets that fit a deep bed. My sheets barely fit over both mattress and this pad. Any bigger, and the sheets would pop off.

Heavenly sleep When we opened the package, the smell was almost overwhelming. So we unrolled it and left it in the spare bedroom until the next day, when we couldn't wait any longer. It sdtill smelled a bit, but a good spray of Febreeze took care of that and it is WONDERFUL to sleep on.

Solid, good, cool Unlike other reviews, I found this to be just as described. No chemical smell, but then again I unrolled it and let it lie flat in a well ventilated room for a few day before packing it up and storing it. Am using it to make a sofabed more comfortable, and it works well and is much cooler than regular memory foam. Just as described.

Best Reasons for Choosing Memory Foam Mattress Toppers
While traditional spring mattresses are adequate for a lot of people, the unique properties of memory foam can make the difference between a good night's sleep and a great night's sleep. If you don't want to buy a whole new mattress, a memory foam mattress topper may be for you. Here are some of the best reasons buyers give for choosing them.
Best-selling Mattresses
There are basically three common types of mattresses used today: spring mattresses, memory foam mattresses, inflatable mattresses and feather beds. Each type has its own benefits. A mattress pad is a less expensive way to add comfort to your bed than purchasing a whole new mattress. With that said, if your mattress is lumpy or saggy, a mattress topper probably won't make much difference. If it is good, though, you have many different choices in material, price, and comfort. Whatever you get, just make sure you purchase the right size for your bed frame. Take a look below to learn more about the best-selling mattresses on the market.
How to Keep Cool with a Memory Foam Topper
You can instantly upgrade your mattress when you add a memory foam mattress topper. Memory foam toppers are made from high-density foam that works with your body heat to mold to your shape. This is great for winter temperatures or people who get cold while they sleep, but when temperatures heat up, you may experience trouble sleeping. Make sure your mattress topper is not deterring you from getting the rest you need. Consider these ideas for keeping your memory foam cool at night.
FAQs about your Latex Mattress
If you're looking to upgrade to a latex mattress or have already bought one, you may have a few questions. Often used to replace innersprings in a mattress's core and provide a base for memory foam mattress toppers, latex mattresses are gaining popularity because their unique elastic properties provide a firm sleeping surface that conforms to your unique body shape. This guide will answer frequently asked questions about your latex mattress and provide you with all the information you need to become acquainted with this new bedding trend.
How to Choose a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
Memory foam, also called "temper foam," was first developed by NASA in the mid-1960s to ensure passenger comfort and protection in airplane seats. Memory foam mattress toppers mold to the body, and then slowly spring back to their original shape. This makes them ideal for those with back or joint pain. However, not all memory foam mattress toppers are the same. Here's how to choose one that will best suit your needs.
How to Compare Memory Foam Mattress Toppers
An investment in a good night's sleep, a memory foam mattress topper is made to mold to your individual shape, support every part of your body, and cut down on painful pressure points that can develop when you're not properly supported during sleep. Mattress toppers also add a bit more padding to your standard mattress, making your bed even more relaxing. Here's how to choose the best one for you.
How to Pick Memory Foam Mattress Topper Thickness
for people who want to add comfort to their beds, a memory foam mattress topper is a smart solution. Memory foam has the unique ability to conform to the body while you sleep, relieving pressure points and resulting in less aches and pains upon waking. When you're online shopping for a attress topper, you'll need to choose the thickness you want. Be sure to consider these factors as you make your choice.
How to Clean a Memory Foam Mattress Topper
When you're deep cleaning your home, you may want to pay special attention to your bed. A memory foam mattress topper can completely transform even the most uncomfortable mattress, but accidents do happen, and an accumulation of dust in even the most comfortable bed can prevent a good night's sleep. If it's time to freshen up your mattress topper, you may be wondering how it's done. Memory foam absorbs water while it is being washed; however, it is possible to wash it efficiently.
FAQs about Deep Pocket Sheets

Best Mattresses for Every Sleeping Position
A mattress is one of the most important purchases you can make because you spend hours each day sleeping and rejuvenating for the next day. While shopping for a new mattress, keep in mind the typical sleeping positions you have to ensure you will find the right mattress to help with bone or joint alignment. Below, you'll learn the best mattresses for every sleeping position. Sleeping on your back: If you primarily sleep on your back, you need to find a mattress with support to prevent pain in the lower back. Sleeping on a mattress that does not have enough support causes muscle strain in the back and increases the chance you will assume a poor posture during sleep, leaving you achy in the morning. The best mattresses for this sleeping position have at least 400 to 800 14-gauge coils. Innerspring mattresses feature firm coils to support the back yet still mold to the curvature of the spine. Mattresses with box springs are ideal for those who sleep on their backs because they stabilize weight, offering back support and increasing the life of the bedding. Sleeping on your stomach: While sleeping on your stomach is comfortable, it also increases pressure and strain on parts of the body like the neck or back. Soft mattresses are the best for those who sleep on their stomachs. Look for mattresses that have 300 to 400 14-gauge coils, which will ensure the mattress is soft and comfortable. If you must use a pillow, look into buying a memory foam style, which molds to the head and neck to stabilize them during sleep. Sleeping on your side: Side sleeping is one of the most common positions on a mattress, and it may also be one of the hardest positions to shop for. Since you lay on your side, there is pressure on the shoulders and hips, which could make a firm mattress uncomfortable for sleeping. A mattress that is too soft is often not supportive enough to keep the spine in proper alignment. The ideal mattress for this position is one that has supportive coils, with a memory foam topper to provide comfort to the joints of the body.

Top 5 Reasons for Buying an Air Mattress
Air mattresses aren't what they used to be. Nowadays, air mattresses offer a slew of sleep-inducing features, like pillow tops, memory foam mattress pads and even built in MP3s, vastly improving on their giant-sized, pool-toy predecessors. As features improve, air mattresses, also known as air beds, are becoming more and more popular and are being used for a number of different functions, even in place of regular mattresses. Keep reading to find out the top five ways that you can get the most out of your air mattress.

One of the perks of having an interior designer for a sister is that if you invite her over for lunch, she just may decide to redo your entire home, gratis. At least that's what happened to Lisa Story. When she, husband Phil Kaplan, and their two children moved into their Connecticut house, the drab, heavy interiors practically reeked of the 1970s. Though Lisa didn't love the way it looked, she admits she would've spent years "slowly muddling along. I can see a picture in a magazine or catalog and know what I like, but I find it difficult to deal with a blank slate." Her sibling Sara Story, on the other hand, barely made it through the meal.

Anne Hathaway Ring Pictures at Kennedy Center Honors
Anne Hathaway, SJP, and the Blunts Celebrate Meryl Streep and the Kennedy Center Honorees
This year's Kennedy Center Honorees were in the company of many celebrities on Saturday night in Washington DC. Meryl Streep was one of the five people receiving the nation's highest arts honor, along with Yo-Yo Ma, Neil Diamond, saxophonist Sonny Rollins, and singer Barbara Cook. The President and First Lady, who wore a custom Vera Wang, joined Matthew Broderick, a Theyskens's Theory-clad Sarah Jessica Parker, John Krasinski, and Emily Blunt for the party. Emily stood out in a bold Notte by Marchesa number, while her sister, Felicity Blunt, wore black to accompany fiancé Stanley Tucci.
Stanley, Emily, and Anne Hathaway completed a Devil Wears Prada foursome with Meryl! Anne brought along her husband-to-be Adam Shulman. She wore a simple black Giambattista Valli that let her new rock shine. Anne's engagement ring made its debut last week, when she and Adam went public with their happy news.

@Ravenlight there's a limb clinic in the last area of the game where you can buy two more praxis kits and other stuff.i got the heavy lifting, high jumping and parachute augs... then the hacking lvl 5 aug... then the ones that make you sprint faster and for longer.... then i didn't feel like i needed any other augs in the game.
maxed out after a few hours. my upgraded 10mm starter pistol was the only weapon i needed as well (plus grenades). hardest difficulty was a breeze... went almost the whole game sneaking around doing instant takedowns.

Cedarville University Wins Solar Splash 2007!
by Gloria CamposWhen I first read about the solar energy boat race, Solar Splash, I was immediately intrigued.

Great building, cleverly built into the side of the hill overlooking taganga bay, with fantastic views over the bay and town.
Good view from my room. Not expensive. Is nearby a road where you can walk by a mountain and reach the beach.
Location and best view of the bay. The location is away from the city center, so that helps with the disco noise at night. We slept in both a balcony and an interior room. Interior rooms are old and not very well kept, but the most quiet in the area.

Good location and good wifi
Dirty room. Broken shower. Slow staff. Tired design. Terrible food. The list goes on.
Great building, cleverly built into the side of the hill overlooking taganga bay, with fantastic views over the bay and town.
As taxis cannot get you right to the building and then there's a couple of flights of stairs to get to your room, this is not a hotel for people with mobility problems but this wasn't a concern for us. Some minor repairs needed here and there but otherwise in good repair for hotels in the region.
I do not like the breackfast, and the jacussi did not work well
Good view from my room. Not expensive. Is nearby a road where you can walk by a mountain and reach the beach.
A lot of stairs.
Location and best view of the bay. The location is away from the city center, so that helps with the disco noise at night. We slept in both a balcony and an interior room. Interior rooms are old and not very well kept, but the most quiet in the area.
You do not get what you pay for; they are charging for a premium hotel room and at best the room is mediocre. Staff is helpful but cannot make any decisions when the owner is not present. Ran out of water in the upper level apts. Beds are hard like sleeping on a box spring. Owner cares more about profit than customer satisfaction.
The hotel is in a nice position and well designed.
The room had no curtain, so you wake up at 6.00 Moreover, unfortunately the hotel receives the noise of the disco across the bay, very disturbing until 3 o clock. But this is a general problem in Taganga. Wifi does not reach all the rooms
