Syria's Shameful Stars Choose Assad over their Fans
I am so happy that they are not afraid to say it! Well done Syrians you are truly brave for not being intimidated by these Western backed barbarians. LONG LIVE SYRIA, the axis of resistance, the peace keeper!
It looks like these "stars" see Bashar Al Assad as a leader worthy of their allegiance the same way their fellow countrymen do. They all reject the terrorist attacks and false news stories claiming this to be a revolution by the Syrian people against their own government.
shame on all of those rear end kissing actors. I mean let's face it, they became famous due to the filthy connections they had with the government.
Assad, your time is up ducky.
What this article tells me the most is that ALBAWABA is funded by the CIA, and those Gulf bigots.
Bawaba should respect the supposed neutrality of a news sourse, and not allow itself to turn into a cheap propaganda source with no credibility...
Who give you the right to say that Stars stand with the President against the Syrian people. we as Syrian are one together with our president. We as the most Syrian support our president, and I believe that the Stars have the right to say what they believe and support, if you really take care of Syrian people, SO PLEASE stop speaking in the name of Syrian people because we are the only who have the right to speak about our rights and about our president because we are Syrian and Syria is our country and Alassad is our president.
so please don't give the right to you self as writer to speak in the name of SYRIAN people.
Alabawaba is garbage. The majority of Syrians do support Assad. I speak to people in Syria and Syrians who live abroad. My wife's family is still there, and they overwhelmingly support Assad and stability. Maybe Syria can be like Egypt one day and have its churches bombed or maybe they can me like Iraw and have people being beheaded and mosques blown up every other day. Take your hidden agendas and shove them!
Out of the 23,000,000 people of Syria, only a few 10,000 are actually protesting against Assad. The rest of us are on Assad's side. Assad is NOT Gaddafi OR Mubarak. I agree that the protesters' voices should be heard, but it takes two to tango, and it is obvious some of these protesters instigate the violence on themselves. If Assad steps down, Syria is MOST DEFINITELY going to become the next Iran, and all of us minorities will undoubtedly be screwed.
"Assad is NOT Gaddafi or Mubarak?" ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW YOU LITTLE PIECE OF CRAP?
ALMOST 80% of the syrian people want freedom so how about you stop kissing some a!@.

Slowey seeks first win in over two years facing Mets
Hefner aims to build on strong last start, help NY even three-game set
Baseball is a sport infatuated with stats, but Marlins pitcher Kevin Slowey's numbers do not tell the whole story.
The right-hander has not recorded a win since Sept. 18, 2010, but that does not mean he has been ineffective for the Marlins this season.
"If there is one guy who is very good at recognizing a hitter's tendencies, it's him," Marlins catcher Rob Brantly said. "He's one of the better ones that I've worked with. He's an experienced pitcher. His preparation for the game, you see how it transfers over during the game. He battles all the way through the game."
In his last three starts -- all no-decisions -- Slowey has a 2.60 ERA, giving up five earned runs in 17 1/3 innings. Slowey's next chance to earn a win will come Tuesday against the Mets.
The Mets will give the ball to right-hander Jeremy Hefner as they attempt to snap a five-game losing streak, including Monday's extra-innings loss.
Hefner has faced the Marlins once this season, allowing one run in six innings of work, but was stuck with the loss.
Hefner is 0-2 with a 5.14 ERA this season, but he is coming off a strong outing against the Dodgers. In his last start, Hefner allowed one earned run in seven innings.
Marlins: Stanton hits DL with right hamstring strain
Giancarlo Stanton left Monday's game after he strained his right hamstring running to first base on a groundout in the 10th inning.
Stanton was placed on the 15-day disabled list after the game, and Marcell Ozuna will be recalled from Double-A Jacksonville to take over for the Marlins in right field. Ozuna belted five home runs in 10 games for the Suns.
Stanton had been off to a slow start at the plate this season, but homered three times in two games against the Cubs over the weekend. He was 0-for-5 before exiting Monday's game.
Earlier this season, Stanton missed five games with a bruised left shoulder.
Mets: Stiff neck keeps Wright out of lineup
Mets third baseman David Wright was not in Monday's lineup because of a stiff neck. Wright did strike out while pinch-hitting in the 13th and may return to the starting lineup as early as Tuesday.
"I'm very unconcerned about it," Wright said. "It's not something I'm worried about. It stinks that I can't play. That's the biggest thing for me. The biggest thing for me is I just want it to be a one-day thing and not try to fight through it, and all of a sudden, do something a little more serious."
Worth noting
• Marlins first baseman Joe Mahoney is going on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring. Greg Dobbs is getting the starts at first base.
• Slowey has made one career start against the Mets. He pitched six innings and allowed five earned runs.
• Hefner has pitched 20 1/3 career innings against the Marlins and has posted a 2.21 ERA.

Phoronix: PiTiVi Gets Ready With A New Release
After being in development for a number of months, the GNOME-sponsored PiTiVi project has put out a new pre-release. In this updated version of the PiTiVi video editing application are a number of notable additions, such as support for video effects, as this open-source editor tries to catch-up to the proprietary competition...
If they didn't sleep in 2010, Ubuntu maybe would not have ditched them.
Before the question arises: Kdenlive.
I've been a happy OpenShot user for quite a while so the competition isn't entirely proprietary.
There is one thing that bugs me about OpenShot and in the screenshots for pitivi which is that you have to pick one resolution for your project. I usually make my projects into both NTSC and PAL DVDs as well as upload to Youtube so it doesn't have a single resolution.
I had to do some basic video editing the other day, and of course I tried the default gnome editor that was pitivi. What a pile of crap. I couldn't do anything of what I wanted. I really hope this new version is more useful. OpenShot is unbelievably so much better that it makes sense Ubuntu defaulted to that instead.

Denver. Show day.
The day of The Rapture is upon us [citation needed] though we had far too much to do to be spending time being swept up to heaven. We did eventually get almost everything ready last night but inevitably there was still quite a run-around today. However, ready or not, the appointed time came, the doors were opened and in came America.
I made a point of being out in the house when The Fray finished their set, in order to see the new time and statistics video piece begin its 45-minute crawl around the video screen. Sure enough, the clocks began to appear in their rather enigmatic fashion and then the highly eclectic range of information, the numbers counting higher (or lower) moment by moment. I've got to be honest, I was very pleased with it and Luke, who made the piece, seemed greatly relieved. The information appears slowly but is oddly compelling and we were enjoying watching people watch it. We did have just a few cringe-inducing moments as there were a couple of typos and one or two factual errors but these will be fixed by Salt Lake City. I was just chuffed to death to see it all happening, the clocks keeping time and the trivia mountain piling up. I can only imagine what will end up getting added to it over the next few weeks.
With all due respect we knew that a North American audience (as with a Northern European audience) was not going to match the energy level we'd just experienced in Mexico but in truth this crowd gave the Mexicans a pretty good run for their money. It's the best part of two years since these people bought their tickets to this show and, now that the day had finally arrived, they really made the most of it. It was a great show, the band were in great form and there was the most continual and intense smell of pot wafting in the air that I think I've ever been exposed to at an outdoor event. The gods of technology smiled upon us, the weather stayed dry and everything worked technically, including the new jackets, the new song arrangements and the debut appearance of Aung San Suu Kyi. I was very pleased.
We did a runner to the plane – the latest model "Air 360" – and a few celebratory drinks were had. Besides the show, there was great excitement at the advent of in-flight WiFi so practically everybody on board had a laptop out. We even got the first press reviews of the show whilst we were in the air. Inevitably we began Skyping and iChatting one another, up and down the plane – having video conferences with people sitting two rows behind, and so on – which seemed disproportionately hilarious at the time. Surfing on the thrill of the possible.
90 minutes later we landed in… er… Las Vegas.
28 May, 2011
On the field in Denver
Everywhere you looked someone was smoking pot LOL. Was a great concert here in Denver with all the new changes to the set list. Next stop is Seattle!

Amsterdam, a city of canals and tulips, has only 700,000 inhabitants but boasts over a million bicycles. Riding a bicycle is indeed an excellent way to get to know Amsterdam, where the sights are all within reasonable distances and the atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried.
Amsterdam has more than 40 museums, the highest number in the world proportionate to the size of the city. You just can't miss out the Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum depicting art from Amsterdam's golden era the 1600s, or the house of Anne Frank from your itinerary.
A perfect way to rest after a tour at the museums is to take a canal cruise or stop at any of the fascinating little cafes in the Jordaan district. When the weather is nice, the locals head to the Vondelpark for a picnic. The park is also a venue for free concerts and theatre performances in the summertime.
The airport is located 15 km southwest of Amsterdam.

This double kit sunhood clicks easily on to the frame of the following model double kits: e3 v2 classic & legacy red classic sport v1 or v2 dash explorer DOT hammerhead navigator Reviews (8) Write a review Great Written by: Lyzie Monday December 01 2014 4/5 This sun shade is great as it keeps the second child protected by the sun Works just great! Written by: Hanna Thursday October 30 2014 4/5 Sunhood fitted to E3 stroller second seat securely. Works just great, and was able to put double storm cover over no problem. Fits neatly and looks great as well as doing the job of providing extra sun/wind cover for my little one. Good all rounder Written by: Lauren Thursday October 16 2014 4/5 This product was purchased for my Sports Double Kit as I had no visor for it. I love how its versatile and can connect to most P&T double kits. I am impressed by the "follow the sun" concept that is used on the main pram sunhoods and glad to see it now is available for double kits. Once connected it can be moved up and down the frame for shorter/taller children. The only shortfall of this product is I believe it is still relatively flimsy like the Navigator v1 double kit sunhood. It would be better if the material and framework held it in place 100%. Overall though I am happy with the upgrade and it suits both my toddler and infants needs in the second seat! Great sunshade Written by: gemm73 Wednesday October 08 2014 5/5 Clips on easily and does its job, its a great add on product well worth it! Written by: kaz1 Friday September 19 2014 4/5 very happy with the hood. it protects the child in the back seat from the sun and keeps them cosy too. love it! Wanted to love this Written by: Harvey Tuesday August 19 2014 2/5 I really wanted to love this since I love my stroller so much but I feel like it fell short. It's kind of floppy and doesn't provide much shade. I use an extra blanket to shade my newborn Improved version Written by: JMAK Sunday July 27 2014 3/5 Glad they seem to have improved the sunhood. The 1st version is really bad, it extends beyond the seat and you kick it every single step. Also, it attaches with 4 push buttons and thus doesn't sit tightly on the seat but goes all wonky really quickly. This one seems to be attached the same way as the main seat sunhood, and doesn't seem to be as long as the first version. I wish I had this, but no can do, the first one is what I got with the double kit and don't want to spend more money.

I am very disappointed with this article. It seems as if you have never been to Mexico to understand the poverty, the monopolies, nor actually understood how Pena's campaign was built up and managed for the last 2 years. Mexico's economy is characterized by one monopoly/duopoly or quasi-monopoly after another throughout almost every industry but the only one that everybody talks about breaking up is Pemex. What about Gruma, Telmex, Televisa, Tel Cel, Bimbo, Coca-Cola, Sabritas, Cemex, Wal-Mart......???? Each and every one of these has a monopoly or uses market techniques to keep competition down.
Pena Nieto has no gift of communication, he had a very smart alliance with Televisa who has been marketing the new president for 2 yrs. Have you actually heard him talk or express an opinion of his own, has he grabbed your attention with a passionate speech? I would be interested in seeing an example.
I am no friend of AMLO but the changes and positive news that seem to be at the horizon for Mexico have nothing to do with Pena Nieto or his party. It's Mexico's people that are sick of the violence, the corruption and poverty. It's Mexico's people who are bringing about change by having a voice through social media pages, using documentary films, using the internet to inform, network, universities, etc and build a new Mexico.
My compliments on the article. It was perhaps a bit optimistic about the PRI's credibility, but, time will tell. One thing understated is the relatively new influx of American Corporations choosing Mexico to locate their plants hiring thousands. It is good for the Mexican economy and will draw other Country's plants if done well.
It is sad to see the continuation of flight of America's great corporations from America. The large Multi-National Corporations that sprung from America are choosing Mexico in our hemisphere rather than the U.S.A. If America doesn't soon address the base causes that has lowered our real manufacturing rates to all time historic lows, we will be a struggling third-world nation.
We need to take a real look at Government's view of Business with their Agency interference. We need to look at the voracious cycle of legal opportunism run amok in our courts against business.
These are the two factors privately pointed to by business not wages.
Congratulations to Mexico!
As a long term and avid Economist reader the darkness-dawn article introduces but then dismisses some intriguing aspects apparently known and depicted by the ancient inhabitants of Yucatan or "the Maya" so very briefly referred to in this article such as "archaeologists dug up Mayan calendars that ominously seemed to run out in the final days of 2012" plus the statement that "it turns out that the Mayan glyphs were misunderstood". This is perhaps jumping to an improper conjecture, as did Frere de Landis when he burned the Mayan codices as a deed of cultural and religious dominance 500 years ago.
No explanation as to why have multitudes in the billions worldwide have typed in internet searches seeking more information about "the end of the world in 2012" which may have been a "misinterpretation".
As it turns out the "Mayan long count calender" is good for several millenia or precisely 5126 years. Repeat that number 5 times, usually referred to as the "precession of the equinoxes" which corresponds to the time interval for a complete cycle of the meanderings of our earth's north star, Polaris. Not by any mere coincidence, the Maya ancients had accurately accounted for the actual astronomical data in the Mayan calendar. Also include the 41 billion, billion, billion year stella, also preserved in "Mayaland" which corresponds closely to one evolutionary cycle of the universe. This as revealed by Maya elders that shared their knowledge to us and revealed in our Yucatan travels to Mexico. History indeed repeats itself again and again - ad infinitum.
In our travels to Yucatan peninsula as also revealed in the Econmist's "data glyph" which portrays the Yucatan murder rate at a low 2.2 per 100,000 . Thus we concur with the Economists glyph which reveals the Maya as very friendly and peaceful folk and wonderful hosts!
I have the outmost respect for those who are well informed, smart, and well intentioned... However, some of you that commented on this article let your passion hinder your reason and common sense...
You argue against meticulous facts and say that the author should "do his homework" and you seem to insinuate a sort biased writing by the author...but did you read the entire report??? the 9 articles? I dont think they are biased at all...
I believe that the Economist is intended for readers that want to gain a holistic view on the world, and hopefully interpret the information to react locally with the best of intentions to promote a positive change.
The passionate comments questioning the validity of this report/author hurt Mexico much more than you think...
try going to rural areas of mexico and you will find the articles that many important voices of mexicos in the world promote are a bunch of misleading information. take for instance the voice of mr castaneda, who in my opinion is just trying to copy the voice of mr octavio paz, stating that mexico has change blah blah blah. I have been to many places in rural mexico who still dont have electricity and Im looking for peopleo in the deveoloped world to work and find solutions to this problem and most of all make it an opportunity.
Was this report done by a professional lobbyist to change the world wide depressing reality of Mexico?
If so, who paid for this?
Damn, you got us. OK we admit it. All Mexicans chipped in with one dollar, and paid The Economist $100 million dollars for this article (they said they will give us a discount next month).
Do'h they got me for $2.... Oh.. Mexican corruption!
No no, that was the transaction fee.
Whoever wrote this piece didn't do all the homework and has serious mistakes, let's see:
"Grinding poverty? Yes, but alleviated by services such as universal free health care" FALSE. The health care system in Mexico is not free (there are large especial fees to be paid by both the employer and the employee) and it is definitely not universal: you cannot have it if you are not employed. There is a new "seguro popular" that intends to be universal, but it covers a very, very little part of the population.
"Enrique Peña Nieto, who won a clear election victory on July 1st." Very false, come on! Didn't you see all the evidence, videos, interviews, photos and stories about the massive vote-buying by the PRI? Everyone knows it here and we all know people who sold their vote.
"A handsome 46-year-old with a gift for communication" VERY WRONG, this guy does not have any gift for communication; in fact, he has repeatedly shown in interviews and public appeareances that he is a very ignorant person.
The writer also forgets that, regardless of how the macro numbers (or however you call them in English) in Mexico's economy look apparently good; our sad truth is a profound inequality in which 52 million poor people share the supposed wealth with a handful of ultra-rich families that control almost everything in the economy.
And finally, I don't have official numbers for the birth rate in Mexico, but I seriously doubt it will soon be lower than in the USA; in fact, it is also general knowledge that under the PAN government, the country's birth rate went up (with them being conservative, much budget for family planning was cut).
I comletely agree with you!! - and let's not forget the description of "I am the 32nd" movement...its not because it was only lead by 131 students...is because Peña Nieto claims there were only 131 even though it was the majority of the University.
Please support your arguments with facts.
-EPN's victory. The IFE has the final, official say on the election's voting countdown, and the IFE showed EPN indeed won a clear victory. The votes were counted through processes supported for all parties. Can you please show your analysis that objectively disputes EPN's victory?
-EPN's communication skills. He might or might not be a good communicator - this is a subjective attribute. However, communication skills have nothing to do with ignorance or knowledge.
-Mexico's macroeconomics. All official studies on Mexico's GDP show values similar to those presented to the Economist. GDP is not a reflection of a country's equality; rather, it simply measures a country's production.
-Mexico's birth-rate. So you don't have official numbers, but you still decide to dispute The Economist numbers? I am assuming The Economist DOES have official numbers at hand. If you want your argument taken seriously, please give to us, the rest of the readers, reasons to take it seriously.
About birth rate, the CIA gives 18.87 births/1,000 population for Mexico, compare with 13.7 births/1,000 population for USA. Mexico still lead by this critera. I can't find data about a few years ago, so I don't know what the trend look like, maybe Mexico numbers are falling faster than USA and that's why The Economist concluded Mexican birth rate will fall under the American one.
"There is a new "seguro popular" that intends to be universal, but it covers a very, very little part of the population."
You are so wrong on this account my friend. The Seguro Popular is huge, in fact it is easily the largest health care provider in the country. As of last year there were already 48 MILLION PEOPLE in it (Source: Ministry of Health 2011 http://www.vanguardia.com.mx/inscritosenelseguropopular48millonesssa-107...). I see, from the rest of your comment, that you are largely unconcerned about the truth and the accuracy of data. Yet, for the benefit of others, I wanted to set you straight on this one.
Obviously that guy does not care about facts. He has decided to prove The Economist wrong by opposing his own opinion to actual facts and truths. He did not even read the Special Report carefully, or else he wouldn't be criticizing The Economist for omitting facts that, in fact, are well discussed in the report (for instance, the data on poverty or the disparities in wealth distribution, oligopolies, etc).
Come on, the election is over, AMLO lost, and now he has a new party to play with.
Have you thought about joining MORENA? They surely need thinkers of your caliber.
"it is also general knowledge that under the PAN government, the country's birth rate went up"
Actually for the last 10 years family planning is very strong. Any medical student on his social service year knows that. The local health services demand a monthly quota of people on any family planning method. Condoms are given for free, no questions asked. Also pills, DIUs, etc.
I did my social service during the Fox presidency and there were no restrictions on family planning methods. My sister did hers in Calderon's and was the same history. Both of us did our social service in San Luis Potosi, a "catholic" state and family planning was one of the priority projects. Actually those receiving $$$ from "oportunidades" or "progresa" have to be on family planning.
Actually the one against planning and abortion is AMLO, who also oppose gay marriage.
The difference between Mexico's and the USA birthrate are the inmigrants, who tend to be young and therefore have children while in 'Merica, as a Mexican I see that happening most of my friends are not having any plans to have children, they care more abou their professions. lol the trend is there anyways if u want to see it and get trough your prejudices is your choice lol
Mr Mooches, you are the one who needs to get your facts right.
First: the IFE is an organism that is not neutral at all, there are allways corrupted politicians of some party (PRI, PAN) at the head of the institution.
Second: did you know that when the proof of vote-buying (monex and Soriana's cards) IFE decided that vote-buying wasn´t ilegal?
Third, did you knew that the irregularities in vote counting and errors where allways in favour of Peña Nieto? the information is still outherem citizens took thousands of photos of the information sheets, and when they checked the information at IFE's webpage, most of the times Peña nieto had 5 to 20 more votes, AMLO had 5 to 20 less votes.
Fourth, the media campaign for Peña Nieto was overwelmingly superior than the ones from his competitors, it was a 5 year non stop media campaign, spending 300,000,000 pesos yearly on publicity and paid articles. during the presidential campaign he overspent by ten times the budget planed for each candidate.
Why didn't you calculate the states' GDP in PPP instead of USD?
This would give a better picture of the income per capita as values in USD are heavily distorted given how undervalued the peso has been for a few years.
Having said that, the differences in income are shocking from state to state, how a northern state like Coahuila can have almost 4 times the income of a southern state like Chiapas? This should be another serious issue the new government has to address before this becomes a political problem.
Little by little Mexico is becoming a leader country. As mexicans we deserve it. We passed through a series of recurrent economic crisis, and very recently a spiral in violence. After all of that I think that mexico turned out to be a more modern country, which undoubtedly will facilitate the political and economic reforms that out country needs to mtake the final transition to modernity.
I think it's a good article wrote by an outsider, the truth is quite different. Mr. Peña is not a great communicator, in fact he's the opposite, and a lot of us think he's just a puppet of the old PRI dinasties, the drug on war is pretty stupid because it has led only to an increase in violence and killing, the gap between the rich and the poor is growing wider, and NAFTA has only led to closure of independent-owned businesses and turning this former-self-employed people into employees of the rich, not to talk about agriculture -specially corn-. If that's the future, it doesn't seem so bright to me.
"Mexico has form in turning triumph to disaster". So true indeed. Despite some hedging like the one presented in the quoted sentence, the tone from the opening article to the Special Report, and the whole of it, is optimistic. But there is rather abundant ground for holding a different view: a) a dismal education system, b) deplorable institutions plagued by corruption, c) a dysfunctional political system where gridlock has been the norm for 15 years now (and counting), d) an incredibly restrictive foreign investment law, that is quite successful sending foreign investors elsewhere (no doubt, the automotive sector is great attracting investment from abroad, pity about energy, communications and transportation, among others), e) a rigid labour market (yes, even with the recent reform, a positive but nonetheless small step), f) public finances heavily dependent on oil revenue whilst tax revenue is dismal and g) a massive petrol (gasoline) subsidy in the range of 1-2 percent of GDP. Just to consider: GDP per capita has grown on average 0.62 percent yearly during the last 30 years. The Economist glimpses light at the end of the tunnel. Indeed, hopefully, it is the flicker of a long-delayed dawn, but it may be a train coming.
This article is a valued information about our country. However, there is an inaccuracy on the investigation and I really hope this could not be be build about international perceptions. I´m from a downtown in Mexico and is very sad see how the inequality can be part of our currently society. Rural communities with no water access and internet and of course with not that GDP that you mention. We will face another food crises, the worst of our story: Corn supply in base of the Monsanto irresponsible criteria. As a Mexican woman I can say that my expectation with this new government are low. I really hope our Mexican collectivity can have this reset that Mayans or only the marketing are saying. Saludos from Puebla.
The main cause of the next food crisis is climate change. Extreme dry seasons with flood will ruin most crops in the world.
The main source of corn is the USA, at least for Mexico (specially corn for pigs). An unusual dry season in the USA will starve Mexico too.
So we have millions of humans who destroy the environment, therefore the climate change. Is the recipe for disaster.

I started out with the Jedko Games printing of Frank Mentzer's red box (the 'B' in BECMI), which was quickly followed by the 2nd edition AD&D Player's Handbook. After a long hiatus, I started playing D&D again after the release of the Baldur's Gate PC game renewed my interest in the pen and paper version.

Cards aim to inch closer in NL Central with split
Cingrani takes on Lynn as Reds also have eyes toward first place
Perhaps a dramatic 16-inning victory is just what the Cardinals needed to escape from their recent slide.
St. Louis will put that to the test on Thursday night, when it closes out its four-game series against Cincinnati at Great American Ball Park. The Redbirds had dropped five of their previous six games before Matt Adams' second extra-innings solo homer lifted them to a 5-4 victory over the Reds on Wednesday night. The win pulled the Cardinals to within a game of the Pirates for the National League Central lead and gave them a 2 1/2-game edge over the Reds for the top NL Wild Card spot.
They will go for the series split on Thursday, hoping that Adams' heroics can help ignite their bats. The Cardinals' offense hit .176/.232/.198 during that previous six-game stretch, but managed 12 hits on Wednesday. Before that, Reds pitching had held them to five hits or fewer in three straight games for the first time since 1962-63.
St. Louis right-hander Lance Lynn (13-9, 4.29 ERA) also is trying to get himself out of a rough patch.
Lynn's last effective start came at Great American Ball Park on Aug. 4, when he held the Reds to two runs over eight innings while striking out a season-high 11. In five starts since, he is 0-4 with a 6.83 ERA and .339 opponents' batting average.
One problem for Lynn has been the big inning. In four of those outings, he endured at least one frame of at least three runs. A five-run third inning derailed his start at Pittsburgh on Saturday, after which Lynn said that in order to get out of some jams he needs "to will it more instead of just hoping it happens."
The Reds' Tony Cingrani (6-3, 2.76) is trying to bounce back as well, but in his case, it's from a lower back strain. The rookie left-hander has been out of commission since the injury -- which had been bothering him for a couple of weeks -- caused him to leave his Aug. 20 start against the D-backs after 3 2/3 innings.
Cingrani went through his normal pre-start preparation, throwing a successful 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. Manager Dusty Baker admitted that the team is "not exactly sure what we're going to get" from Cingrani, especially in terms of his endurance. But Cingrani is looking forward to giving it a shot.
"It'd be nice to pitch against the Cardinals," Cingrani said before Baker made it official that he was going to start. "I just want to get back and start throwing."
"He's a very confident young man," Baker said. "He thinks like a winner."
Cardinals: Craig leaves early
First baseman Allen Craig exited Wednesday's game in the top of the fourth inning with a left foot sprain and was replaced by Adams. Craig stepped awkwardly after rounding first base on a single and nearly running into first-base umpire Laz Diaz. He managed to walk off the field under his own power, but he clearly was in pain.
The Cardinals will re-evaluate Craig on Thursday. He entered Wednesday third in the NL with 97 RBIs and sixth with a .314 average.
• Backup catcher Tony Cruz, recovering from a stress fracture of his left forearm, hit in the indoor batting cage at Great American Ball Park for the second straight day on Wednesday and also took BP on the field. Manager Mike Matheny said Cruz is "not too far away" from returning to game action.
Reds: Reynolds part of Plan B
Right-hander Greg Reynolds made both starts that Cingrani missed while on the disabled list, and he held the Rockies to three runs over eight innings his last time out. Baker plans to have Reynolds ready to go in case Cingrani can't go deep in Thursday's game.
"Really, preparation is just that," Reynolds said. "Once you get out there, it's all the same. You just have to stick to what makes you successful, and I think that's mostly what I'll focus on."
Reynolds, 1-2 with a 4.74 ERA in three starts, is getting his first opportunity to pitch in the big leagues since 2011. The 28-year-old is pitching in a pennant race for the first time.
"It's what we're all playing for," Reynolds said. "It's an exciting time around here. These are all big games, especially within the division. To kind of just be thrown into it, I'm just embracing it and taking it in stride. I'm going to enjoy every minute of it, and I'm really looking forward to helping out any way I can."
Worth noting
• Lynn is 3-0 with a 2.67 ERA in four starts against the Reds this year, including 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in two outings at Great American Ball Park.
• The Cardinals hold an 11-7 lead in the season series, which ends on Thursday.

Gove Public Domain Wildlife Area
Quniter, KS
Manager: Kent Hensley
Phone: (785) 726-3212
Location: 23 miles South of Quniter, Kansas
A Google Earth Map of the entire area is now available.
Gove Public Domain is a 160 acre parcel acquired by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism in 1969.
Gove Public Domain is best known for the extravagant eroded bluffs and rock formations. Hiking and hunting are the primary activities on the area.
A diversity of both game and non-game wildlife can be seen on the Gove Public Domain. Due to its size, wildlife is easily driven off the area by light hunting pressure, so good hunting opportunities are often limited.
Mule and whitetail deer, dove, rabbits (jack and cottontail), and coyotes in low numbers are also found on the area.
- Vehicles are restricted to maintained roads.
- No drinking water is available on the area.
- Consult the annual hunting, fishing and furharvesting regulations for more complete rules and regulations that apply to Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism areas.

Eastern Plumas reaches flood level
Last week's series of storms brought a lot of moisture to the area and completely saturated the ground, causing ponds where there was once dry ground and threats of flooding to those near rivers and lakes.
An official flood warning of the Middle Fork of the Feather River from Portola to Clio was announced Wednesday, March 16, when the water neared 8 feet at the Rocky Point gauging station, 8 feet deemed flood level. By Thursday morning, the river crested at 9 feet, and then slowly backed off as the one-day sunny reprieve calmed the flow temporarily. By Friday, another storm had settled in, and concern resumed.
Some Sierra Valley ranchers struggled to relocate remaining cattle in the valley to other less water-soaked areas in the state, water was a mere few feet from Portola's Memorial Hall, and city sewer operators kept a watchful eye on pond levels which were mere inches from overflowing.
Fortunately, rain turned to snow over the weekend, river levels went down, and concerns about pond levels eased, and attention turned to clearing snow from city streets. As of Monday morning, river levels were down to 6 feet, well below flood stage.
The city of Portola had one mishap when a main sewer line running under the Feather River broke last Wednesday evening. It took city crews two hours to fix the line and sewage flowed into the river in the interim. The spill was reported to the Department of Public Health, the Water Quality Control Board, the Department of Water Resources (DWR), Department of Fish and Game and Plumas County Environmental. Water samples were taken downstream from the spill and are currently being tested.
DWR officials also increased the release from Lake Davis from 10 cubic feet per second to 25 cubic feet per second to keep water from spilling over the dam. They assured city authorities that the increase would be "hardly noticeable." Of greater concern, they said, was runoff from Sierra Valley, which might take a day or a day and a half to reach Portola.
Grizzly Lake Resort Improvement District's (GLRID) water operators worked long days and nights to divert excess water from their sewer ponds throughout the week and by Friday were confident that pond levels were within their normal range and out of danger.
Local residents were not pleased with additional snowfall as the weekend approached, not with spring scheduled on the calendar, but as one Sierra Valley rancher expressed herself, "We're toughing it out, as we do every year."

The two relay teams (the McMullens family members and their extendedfamily) say thank you to supporters at the end of the relay marathon.
Mary McMullen lost her battle with PH in August 2012. As a special education teacher, she had dedicated her life to helping others. The McMullens say they feel a strong responsibility to carry on Mary's legacy. Her family — husband, Tim, and children, Erin, Timmy and Eddie — ran the Baltimore Running Festival marathon as a relay team in her memory. A second relay team of extended family members also ran and helped raise funds in Mary's memory.
For the McMullens, fundraising was very rewarding: "It gave our family and friends something we could rally behind in a time when we were grieving." In a few short weeks, the McMullens exceeded their original goal of $5,000, and as we go to print, they've raised more than $10,500 for PHA.
Through email and Facebook posts, the entire McMullen clan was able to reach family, friends, coworkers and even former classmates, some of whom they hadn't spoken to in years. The McMullen children say, "The nice thing about Facebook is our friends would repost our updates, spreading the word to other people we may not have reached."
Erin, Timmy and Eddie say, "Fundraising gave us perspective of what a large support system we have. And it gave us the opportunity to learn more about our mother through all of the people's lives she touched.
"We would definitely recommend fundraising to anyone. It helps educate individuals about PH. PH is a real-life issue, and we wish we were more educated about it prior to our mother suffering. If you are thinking about fundraising, go out and do it. People are more willing to lend support than you think. Never underestimate the kindness of strangers, and don't hesitate to reach out to those you may have lost touch with."

Major Section: ACL2 Documentation
General Form: a true list of rule class objects as defined belowACL2 provides users with the ability to create a number of different kinds of rules, including (conditional) rewrite rules but also including others. Don't be put off by the long description to follow; usually, you'll probably want to use rewrite rules. More on this below.Special Cases: a symbol abbreviating a single rule class object
A rule class object is either one of the :class
keywords or else is
a list of the form shown below. Those fields marked with ``(!)''
are required when the :class
is as indicated.

When a
keyword is used as a rule class
object, all relevant fields are determined contextually. Each rule
class object in :rule-classes
causes one or more rules to be added
to the data base. The :class
keywords are documented individually
under the following names. Note that when one of these names is used
as a :class
, it is expected to be in the keyword package (i.e., the

ones whose top-level function symbol is a common one like
or consp
; see type-prescription and
see forward-chaining. However, the rest of the rule classes
are really not intended for widespread use, but rather are mainly
for experts.
We expect that we will write more about the question of which kind
of rule to use. For now: when in doubt, use a :
is an optional keyword argument of the defthm
) event. In the following, let name
be the name of the
event and let thm
be the formula to be proved or added as an axiom.
If :rule-classes
is not specified in a defthm
(or defaxiom
) event,
it is as though :rule-classes
had been used. Use
to specify that no rules are to be generated.
If :rule-classes
class is specified, where class is a non-nil
symbol, it is as though :rule-classes
had been used.
Thus, :rule-classes
is equivalent to :rule-classes
We therefore now consider :rule-classes
as a true list. If any
element of that list is a keyword, replace it by the singleton list
containing that keyword. Thus, :rule-classes
(:rewrite :elim)
the same as :rule-classes
((:rewrite) (:elim))
Each element of the expanded value of :rule-classes
must be a true
list whose car
is one of the rule class keyword tokens listed above,
e.g., :
, :
, etc., and whose cdr
is a ``keyword alist''
alternately listing keywords and values. The keywords in this alist
must be taken from those shown below. They may be listed in any
order and most may be omitted, as specified below.
-- its value,term
, must be a term. If omitted, this field defaults tothm
. The:
of a rule class object is the formula actually used to justify the rule created and thus determines the form of the rule. Nqthm provided no similar capability: each rule was determined bythm
, the theorem or axiom added. ACL2 permitsthm
to be stated ``elegantly'' and then allows the:
of a rule class object to specify how that elegant statement is to be interpreted as a rule. For the rule class object to be well-formed, its (defaulted):
, must follow fromthm
. Unlessterm
is trivially implied bythm
, using little more than propositional logic, the formula(implies thm term)
is submitted to the theorem prover and the proof attempt must be successful. During that proof attempt the values of:
, and:
, as provided in the rule class object, are provided as arguments to the prover. Such auxiliary proofs give the sort of output that one expects from the prover. However, as noted above, corollaries that follow trivially are not submitted to the prover; thus, such corollaries cause no prover output.Note that before
is stored, all calls of macros in it are expanded away. See trans.
-- the values of these fields must satisfy the same restrictions placed on the fields of the same names indefthm
. These values are passed to the recursive call of the prover used to establish that the:
of the rule class object follows from the theorem or axiomthm
-- this field may be supplied only if the:class
. When provided, the value must be a type-set, an integer in a certain range. If not provided, an attempt is made to compute it from the corollary. See type-set-inverter.
-- this field may be supplied only if the:class
. When provided, the value is the term for which the:
is a type-prescription lemma. If no:typed-term
is provided in a:
rule class object, we try to compute heuristically an acceptable term. See type-prescription.
-- this field may be supplied only if the:class
. When provided, the value is a list of terms, each of which is to trigger the attempted application of the rule. If no:trigger-terms
is provided, we attempt to compute heuristically an appropriate set of triggers. See forward-chaining or see linear.
-- this field must (and may only) be supplied if the:class
. Its value must be a list of function symbols. Terms with these symbols trigger the application of the rule. See meta.
-- these two fields may only be supplied if the:class
. If they are omitted, then ACL2 will attempt to guess them. Suppose the:
of the rule is(implies hyp (equiv (fn a1 ... an) body))
. The value of the:clique
field should be a true list of function symbols, and if non-nil
must includefn
. These symbols are all the members of the mutually recursive clique containing this definition offn
. That is, a call of any function in:clique
is considered a ``recursive call'' for purposes of the expansion heuristics. The value of the:controller-alist
field should be an alist that maps each function symbol in the:clique
to a list oft
's andnil
's of length equal to the arity of the function. For example, if:clique
consists of just two symbols,fn1
, of arities2
respectively, then((fn1 t nil) (fn2 nil t t))
is a legal value of:controller-alist
. The value associated with a function symbol in this alist is a ``mask'' specifying which argument slots of the function ``control'' the recursion for heuristic purposes. Sloppy choice of:clique
can result in infinite expansion and stack overflow.
-- this field may only be supplied if the:class
. Its value must bet
, or the default,:normalize
. A value oft
will cause ACL2 to install this rule as the new body of the function being ``defined'' (fn
in the paragraph just above); hence this definition will be installed for future:expand
hints. Furthermore, if this field is omitted or the value is:normalize
, then this definition will be simplified using the so-called ``normalization'' procedure that is used when processing definitions made withdefun
. You must explicitly specify:install-body nil
in the following cases:fn
(as above) is a member of the value of constant*definition-minimal-theory*
, the arguments are not a list of distinct variables,equiv
(as above) is notequal
, or there are free variables in the hypotheses or right-hand side (see free-variables). However, supplying:install-body nil
will not affect the rewriter's application of the:definition
rule, other than to avoid using the rule to apply:expand
hints. If a definition rule equates(f a1 ... ak)
but there are hypotheses,hyps
, then:expand
hints will replace terms(f term1 ... termk)
by corresponding terms(if hyps body (hide (f term1 ... termk)))
-- this field may only be supplied if the class is:
. Its value must be a list of entries each consisting of two variables followed by a (possibly empty) list of functions, for example((x y binary-+) (u v foo bar))
. It will be used to restrict application of rewrite rules by requiring that the list of instances of the second variables must be ``smaller'' than the list of instances of the first variables in a sense related to the corresponding functions listed; see loop-stopper. The list as a whole is allowed to benil
, indicating that no such restriction shall be made. Note that any such entry that contains a variable not being instantiated, i.e., not occurring on the left side of the rewrite rule, will be ignored. However, for simplicity we merely require that every variable mentioned should appear somewhere in the corresponding:
-- the first and last of these fields must (and may only) be supplied if the class is:

. The values must all be terms and indicate, respectively, the pattern to which a new induction scheme is to be attached, the condition under which the suggestion is to be made, and a term which suggests the new scheme. See induction.
-- this field must be:all
and may be supplied only if the:class
is either:
, or:
. See free-variables for a description of this field. Note: Although this field is intended to be used for controlling retries of matching free variables in hypotheses, it is legal to supply it even if there are no such free variables. This can simplify the automated generation of rules, but note that when:match-free
is supplied, the warning otherwise provided for the presence of free variables in hypotheses will be suppressed.
-- this field may be supplied only if the:class
is either:
, or:
and only one rule is generated from the formula. Its value must benil
; a non-negative integer; or, except in the case of:
rules, a true list each element of which is eithernil
or a non-negative integer. If it is a list, its length must be equal to the number of hypotheses of the rule and each item in the list is the ``backchain limit'' associated with the corresponding hypothesis. Ifbackchain-limit-lst
is a non-negative integer, it is defaulted to a list of the appropriate number of repetions of that integer. The backchain limit of a hypothesis is used to limit the effort that ACL2 will expend when relieving the hypothesis. If it isNIL
, no new limits are imposed; if it is an integer, the hypothesis will be limited to backchaining at most that many times. Note that backchaining may be further limited by a globalbackchain-limit
; see backchain-limit for details. For a different way to reign in the rewriter, see rewrite-stack-limit. Jared Davis has pointed out that you can set this field to 0 to avoid any attempt to relieveforce
d hypotheses, which can lead to a significant speed-up in some cases.
has been proved (in the case of defthm
) and each rule
class object has been checked for well-formedness (which might
require additional proofs), we consider each rule class object in
turn to generate and add rules. Let :class
be the class keyword
token of the i
th class object (counting from left to right).
Generate the rune (:class name . x)
, where x
is nil
if there is only
one class and otherwise x
is i
. Then, from the :
of that
object, generate one or more rules, each of which has the name
(:class name . x)
. See the :
entry for each rule class to see
how formulas determine rules. Note that it is in principle possible
for several rules to share the same name; it happens whenever a
determines more than one rule. This in fact only occurs
for :

, and :
class rules and only
then if the :
is essentially a conjunction. (See the
documentation for rewrite, linear, or
forward-chaining for details.)

Forget about athletes, movie stars and politicians. Parents are the real heroes—but we think Frankie Heck (Patricia Heaton), must be some kind of superhero. A loving wife and mother of three, she's middle class in the middle of the country and is rapidly approaching middle age.
Frankie and her husband, Mike (Neil Flynn), have lived in Orson, Indiana, their whole lives. A man of few words (every one a zinger), Mike is a manager at the town quarry and Frankie is the third-best used car salesman (out of the three) at the local dealership. She may not be a high-powered career woman, but when it comes to her family, she'll go to just about any length. And with kids like these, she had better. There's Axl (Charlie McDermott), her semi-nudist teenage son conceived while under the influence of Guns N' Roses; Sue (Eden Sher), the awkward teenage daughter who fails at everything... but with the utmost of gusto; and their seven-year-old son Brick (Atticus Shaffer), whose best friend is his backpack.
Sometimes it seems like everyone is trying to get to the top, or struggling not to hit bottom, but we think Frankie and her family will find a lot of love, and a lot of laughs, somewhere in The Middle.

Miley Cyrus exploded on the scene nearly a decade ago with her Disney Channel alter ego "Hannah Montana." Join us for a look at her career so far.
Miley is not her given name. Cyrus actually began acting at age 9 on father Billy Ray Cyrus' PAX drama "Doc" under her birth dame of Destiny Hope Cyrus. The name Miley comes from her nickname of "Smiley" as a baby.
In 2003, Cyrus was credited under her birth name for her minor role as "Young Ruthie" in Tim Burton's "Big Fish."
At the age of 12, Cyrus landed the lead role in the Disney Channel series "Hannah Montana." The show's first episode aired on March 24, 2006.
The show saw Cyrus play a dual role, that of teenager Miley Stewart and her glamorous rock star alter ego Hannah Montana.
The first soundtrack album for the show, released on Oct. 24, 2006, became the eighth best selling album of 2006 in the U.S., with nearly 2 million copies sold that year. It eventually sold more than 4.5 million copies worldwide.
Cyrus arrives at the 40th Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, Tenn., on Nov. 6, 2006.
Cyrus' father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, seen here together in a Season 2 episode from 2007, played her fictional father on "Hannah Montana."
Cyrus performs as Hannah Montana during the ABC Good Morning America Summer Concert Series in New York City on June 22, 2007.
Cyrus' second "Hannah Montana" soundtrack album, seen here with its alternative cover, was called "Meet Miley Cyrus" and sold 5 million copies after its June 2007 release.
The "Hannah Montana" empire expanded to movies with the February 2008 release of the 3-D concert movie "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert."
The concert movie opened at $31 million on its way to grossing more than $65 million at the box office.
Cyrus poses on the red carpet at the 80th annual Academy Awards in Hollywood on Feb. 24, 2008.
Her young career hit a speed bump in April 2008 thanks to controversy over a photoshoot taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair. Some criticized the photos as too risque for the then-15-year-old singer.
Cyrus sought a break from the Vanity Fair photo controversy with a May 1, 2008, trip to Walt Disney World. Here she rides an attraction with fans.
Cyrus signs autographs for fans outside Cinderella's Castle at Walt Disney World on May 1, 2008.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse pose with Miley Cyrus.
Cyrus' first album not affiliated with the "Hannah Montana" franchise was 2008's "Breakout." The album, which was released on July 22, 2008, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was eventually certified platinum.
After its 2008 concert movie, the "Hannah Montana" franchise ventured into theaters again with 2009's "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
The movie saw Cyrus' character returning home to Tennessee after her father decides she needs some perspective as the Hannah Montana part of her life grows out of control.
Cyrus and her father arrive for the London premiere of "Hannah Montana: The Movie" on April 23, 2009.
Cyrus arrives at the 82nd Academy Awards in Hollywood on March 7, 2010.
Cyrus returned to the big screen again on March 31, 2010, for the drama "The Last Song."
Although the film, and Cyrus' performance, generally got poor reviews, the movie was commercially successful, grossing more than $88 million at the worldwide box office.
Cyrus and co-star Liam Hemsworth pose at the Hollywood premiere of "The Last Song" on March 25, 2010. Cyrus announced on June 6, 2012, that she and Hemsworth were engaged.
The final episode of "Hannah Montana" was broadcast on Jan. 16, 2011. The Season 4 finale, titled "Wherever I Go," was the series' 98th episode overall.
Cyrus poses on arrival at the 53rd annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 13, 2011.
Cyrus arrives at The Kids Choice Awards 2011 in Los Angeles on April 2, 2011.
Cyrus released her third studio album, "Can't Be Tamed," on June 18, 2010.
Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth pose on the red carpet at the 38th People's Choice Awards on Jan. 11, 2012, at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
Cyrus poses as she arrives at the 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar party in West Hollywood, Calif., on Feb. 26, 2012.
Cyrus starred with Demi Moore in the little-seen 2012 comedy-drama "LOL," with Moore playing her character's mother.
Cyrus decided to change up her style a bit in August 2012, tweeting this picture of her new platinum pixie-punk cut.
Cyrus shows off her new look on the red carpet for the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sept. 6, 2012.
Cyrus raised eyebrows once again with her performance of "We Can't Stop" at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
Her video for the single "Wrecking Ball," which features the singer riding a wrecking ball, both in her underwear and naked, stirred even more controversy. The video, released on Sept. 9, 2013, quickly set the Vevo record for most views in the first 24 hours of its release, and the record for being the fastest video to reach 100 million views on the service.
Both "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball" are from Cyrus' fourth studio album, "Bangerz," which was released on Oct. 8, 2013. "We Can't Stop" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and "Wrecking Ball" became her first No. 1 hit.
Cyrus performs at the 93.3 FLZ Jingle Ball in Tampa, Florida, on Dec. 18, 2013.
Cyrus performs during the Vancouver stop on her Bangerz concert tour on Feb. 20, 2014.

We went to several department stores and found a Serta Perfect Sleeper we liked however the price of approx. $1300 with delivery and tax was more than we wanted to spend. I know its hard to compare but the Serta Liberation Pillow top matched the description of one we liked on the department store website and the Serta website. I was pretty sure it was the same mattress or very close. I saw the pre black Friday sale and with a *** savings took a chance. A week later the freight company called to schedule delivery. Overstock also called/emailed as well. We received the mattress a few days later. Delivery was awesome and the product is exactly as described and looks like the picture. According to the tag, the bed was built on 11-11-11 and came from a city an hour from our house. It is super comfortable, cushy enough for me, I no longer need a feather bed, yet supportive enough for my husbands back. We are very pleased with the quality and of course the savings. It is 22 high with the box spring so be sure to measure. Great deal!
Delivery was very fast. My mattress came about a week after purchase. The delivery guys brought the mattress around noon. I put on the new sheets and lay down to feel it. This is the crazy part, I fell fast asleep. It was like being shot with a tranquilizer dart or something. I owned a tempurpedic before, and this mattress craddles your body. If you're on the fence about getting this mattress, get off and get some of the best sleep EVER.
This bed is incredibly comfortable and a good deal for the price on Overstock. It is supportive yet plush enough to satisfy different types of sleepers. The pillow top is much taller than I anticipated so make sure that you have deep pocket sheets. Also, it does not come with a frame, so make sure you have one before you try to set this up. Delivery was reasonably simple to negotiate although the delivery people didn't call prior to arrival. They did, however, come during the hours previously scheduled with the dispatcher.
My husband and I were in desparate need of a new mattress before moving into our new home. He wanted it a little softer and I wanted it a little firmer and this was our compromise. Neither of us has complained a day since using it. I find myself sleeping on my side and back more than my stomach (which never used to happen and I understand is actually better for you). We had originally went to a department store during a mattress sale and tested out basically the exact same mattress (everything about it was the same except the one at "the department store" was made just for "the department store" and had a different model name). All specs were the same. We went home and started an online search and ended up at Overstock buying this mattress for more than $100 less than the department store's sale price. We couldn't be happier. The mattress is everything we expected.
I bought this mattress for my house about a year ago on QVC and paid about 750.00. It sits in our guest room, my parents loved. So why not for Christmas I purchase the same one. When I was looking I saw this one fro 749.00 about 20 less then QVC and 20 bucks is 20 bucks. I purchased the mattress with coupons and all for about 570 and FREE Delivery!! Delivery was a little slow. I ordered it on 12/14 and it got delivered 12/24. The gentlemen took away the old POS and now my dad sleeps in comfort!
I have had this mattress for almost two years and I am very satisfied so far. Nice combination of firmness and stablity with a soft pillowtop feel. I no longer wake up with aches and pains. Delivery took a little less than two weeks. I received a call a few days before to set up a window. They removed my old mattress and set up my new one.
I purchased this set to replace a ten-year-old Simmons Beautyrest I gave to my son when he moved out. Whoever said this mattress set was like "sleeping on a cloud" has apparently never had a really comfortable mattress. For a pillowtop, this seems incredibly firm to me. I had to go back and purchase a gel foam topper. It is by no means uncomfortable, just very firm and very average. I sleep fine on it and think it was a decent deal, but I am moving it to my "new" guest room and going back to a Beautyrest. If you like firm, this is the mattress set for you.
This mattress sleep well but I wish that I had order a more firm mattress.
Best mattress I have ever slept on. Mattress is firm, yet pillow top gives added softness and comfort. Sleeping better than I have in years.
I was nervous about purchasing a mattress online. After reading all of the other reviews I decided this was the mattress I've been searching for! This mattress is perfect! Gives me the support I wanted from a foam mattress but it actually feels like a regular mattress! I have been sleeping much better and my lower back pain is almost non-existent! The delivery service could not have been better! Guys were quick and friendly took away my old mattress no problem! I would highly recommend this mattress.
