Origin: Nicaragua, Central America
Body: Full-bodied
Roast: Medium Strong Roast (4)
Summary of taste: Fruit and nut dark chocolate
Whittard recommends: : Using a filter or cafetière and enjoying black or with milk according to taste
When to drink: Throughout the day
This is a big tasting coffee with lots of flavour that definitely puts Nicaragua on the map for coffee production.
The beans are grown at high altitude in the cloud-coated forests of central Nicaragua. They come from small cooperatives, where the plantations are strictly regulated by a central body to ensure their high quality. The beans are dark roasted to bring out their distinctive, chocolatey flavour.
Nicaraguan Coffee has a rich, warm taste with a well-balanced fruitiness and warm nut tones. It is great for drinking morning, noon and night.
Nicaragua Coffee
Item Code: Please select option first
From £2.50 - £20.00
Free delivery over £40
Out of Stock
Pure Nicaraguan arabica beans from Linda Vista Estate.
Packed in an environment where nuts are handled.
Brew a Perfect Cup
Follow the manufacturer's equipment instructions Always use fresh water. Use water just off the boil so you don't scald the coffee. Do not re-heat brewed coffee.
Perfect for a cortado. Wonderful rich flavour with hint of chocolate and roast nuts. It's a shame the beans are now "out of stock". Nothing else comes close!
Went to Whittards in Oxford, High Street branch today and bought this coffee. The girl in the shop was very thorough and knowledgable. And she recommended this to me based on what I described my needs were. I smell tested a few different beans, and instantly took a liking to the strong aroma of the Nicaraguan bean. \\n\\nI got her to grind me this bean to a \"3\" on her grinder so I could use it as an espresso. And MY GOD. It is PACKED with flavour. I like my espresso STRONG. And this gave me a thick, syrupy shot that has plenty of golden crema on top and a dense, dark black base. Lovely. Try it.
really lovely coffee. No bitter after taste. Great at anytime of the day. A very enjoyable coffee - I even tweeted about it being so tasty!
My favourit-ist coffee ever. No other I've tasted comes closest for flavour
I found this coffee stale and lacking in taste

Voormi Access Pullover
The Access Pullover is a sharp-looking merino wool mid-layer that is perfect for being active on cooler days. Unfortunately, after testing two of these pullovers, this tester has found the quality to be substandard, developing holes in the seams after only a few washes. This con strongly negates any recommendation to spend $200 on this garment. Let me start by saying, I wanted to love this shirt. It arrived on a hot July day, and I immediately began wishing for cold weather to wear it in. So I stowed… Full review

Department finds many misconceptions where game refuges are concerned
Editor's note: This is the final article in a series about the California Department of Fish and Game proposal to eliminate state game refuges. Previous stories in this series ran on 5/4/2011 and 5/18/11.
Many people of California just do not understand what a game refuge is or was meant to be; that is the finding of the California Department of Fish and Game officials.
In their report to the Legislature about the possibility of eliminating the refuge status, they share many of those misconceptions, as well as provide a comprehensive feel for what citizens are thinking about the whole idea.
In department observations, they noted that public participation and analysis of benefits and costs to landowners were of utmost importance before any change in status is made.
The refuge system was designed to enhance game populations, with a bent toward conservation.
The following text was highlighted in bold in the report:
"The intent of the refuges was to provide a protection zone where hunting was prohibited that would allow these heavily hunted game species to increase in number and then expand their population out to hunted areas."
Although their goals did not result in larger deer populations, relevant comments received were to keep at least some of the refuge designations in place.
Some people thought that urban-area refuges should stay, while rural ones could go, on a trial basis.
Others wanted the state to buy and actually manage the refuge lands.
Most comments, though, indicate that people want the refuges to remain — to be sanctuaries from hunting activity.
And though many of these people were anti-hunting, they supported their own recreational uses, many of which also disturb wildlife, such as horseback riding, dog walking and mountain biking.
Before his death, Sen. Dave Cox asked for this report from the department because he wanted to make sure that the public had a chance to comment.
William Craven, general counsel for the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee, whose members received this report, does not believe there will be action on this matter anytime soon, if at all.
"The new administration seems pretty preoccupied with the budget and the state's fiscal situation and has not made appointments to many departments, including DFG, which emphasizes that point," he wrote in response to a query about reaction to the report.
"Any time you have an unprecedented viewpoint shared by Sierra Pacific Industries, the largest timber and private landholder in California, the U.S. Forest Service, Sierra Club, Humane Society, university professors, Audubon Society, Game Wardens and hunters, along with more than 90 percent of the public response, I think it speaks clearly as to what DFG's direction must be on this issue," wrote Bob Orange, retired game warden, after reading the report and comments in their entirety.
"In order to bring closure DFG now needs to issue a public statement as to what its position will be: Pursue legislation to eliminate game refuges or keep them intact in accordance to the overwhelming constituent sentiment.
"I remain of the position that DFG's public outreach and information dissemination on this refuge closure issue was abysmal," he finished.
For more information about the status of California Game Refuges, visit plumasnews.com this week to read past articles, or visit the Department of Fish and Game at dfg.ca.gov and enter the term game refuges in the search box.
In an appendix to the report the department submitted to the Legislature, there were representative remarks listed for several of the refuges.
They did not summarize comments received about areas where there would be no hunting, even if the refuge designation were to be removed.
They also listed some misconceptions and incorrect assumptions made in comments related to the possible elimination of refuges.
One such general comment about the refuges was as follows:
"One aspect of California we so appreciate is its appreciation of wildlife, and the state's providing areas where we can hike and enjoy seeing deer, coyotes and beautiful birds, without fear of being shot."
"Please do not open the various State wildlife Refuges to hunting," one person wrote in support of keeping the refuges. "More and more people, hikers, bicyclists and families are enjoying these areas for their beauty, trails and wildlife sightings."
"I strongly support the California Department of Fish and Game in its effort to eliminate select State Game Refuge Designations," wrote a person who wanted to eliminate refuges. "In an overall effort to provide well managed, responsible animal habitat I believe this is a good decision at this time."

You are hereTwo Incumbents lose in KS BOE Primaries
Two moderates on the Kansas Board of Education lost their primary bids on August 6, raising the chances the board could return to a 5-5 moderate-conservative split. The defeats of Republicans Sonny Rundell, from Syracuse, and Val DeFever, of Independence, means moderates could lose the majority they won in elections following the 1999 debacle when a conservative majority adopted science standards removing many references to evolution, the age of the earth, and the big bang.
US News and World Report on Evolution
US News and World Report's cover story for July 29, 2002, is "The New Reality of Evolution."
The article entitled "Life's Grand Design: A new breed of anti-evolutionists credits it to an unnamed intelligence" casts an appropriately skeptical eye over the intelligent design movement. NCSE members and supporters Robert Pennock, Kenneth Miller, and Jack Krebs are quoted.
Presbyterian Church (USA) Adopts Resolution on Evolution and Education

The game's story takes place during World War II and centers around a cargo pilot named William Augustus Grey (voiced by Nolan North) who is teleported to another world while flying through the Bermuda Triangle. In this world, known as the 'Void', Will encounters an alien race as well as other humans, which are known as the Watchers and the Survivors respectively.
Will reluctantly joins the Survivors who are engaged in a feud with the alien race to satisfy his desire to return to Earth. While aiding the Survivors, Will discovers that the Void is a middle ground that connects both the Watchers homeworld and Earth. It also becomes apparent that the Watchers are supplying the Axis powers with various supplies for reasons unknown. With the help of Nikola Tesla, Will utilizes retrofited Watcher technology to combat the Watchers and eventually find a way to escape the Void.

if HON isn't a AAA game then Counterstrike is also not a AAA game LOL
in the computer history sometimes ZERO budget games are called AAA game like: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pong.
or do you call Pong not a AAA game?
the "budget" does not make a AAA game. its the "Popularity" in the "masses"
and if a game gets 100 000 and more players all the time day and night and people waiting in hold 30 minutes and longer to play a game then it is a AAA game.
sometimes all server are full and you wait 30 minutes or longer for a game and they have a lot servers LOL

Gallery: Jagged Chunks of Sidewalk Reused to Create Unique Median for Q...
The median divides the street in half but looks way cooler than a typical concrete divider.
Rather than scrap all of the sidewalks demolished during the clearing of the area for a new streetscape and park, WRT opted to reuse it to create a functional form that doubles as an art installation. According to Horton, "the design application conserves roughly 1,700,000,000 BTUs of embodied energy in 1,000 CY of reused concrete and avoids approximately 60 tons of CO2 if a standard DOT design alternative of 200 CY of new concrete median were to be used." Plus, it just looks really cool (our words, not his).
"As a part of the Queens Plaza Project's efforts to encourage new functions and perceptions of the infrastructural landscape, the reused concrete medians redefine the functional, material and aesthetic performances of a typical roadway feature," writes WRT of their design. "Functionally, the medians serve to discourage uncontrolled pedestrian movements across roadways by presenting a clear visual indication of impassability. With the reuse of material the installation treats the urban fabric like an existing geology that can be mined for reconstruction. The reuse demonstrates that demolition, salvage and reconstruction can be an on-site closed loop that conserves embodied energy in reuse; reduces environmental impacts from harvest, manufacture and transport; and avoids impacts from disposal."
The project is part of the Queens Plaza Bicycle and Pedestrian Landscape Improvement initiative to transform the tangle of urbanity cutting through Long Island City from a disorienting industrial maze into a greenery-filled navigable landscape. People like my mom, whose first impression of the borough was a harsh, jumbled snapshot of the Plaza as she crossed the 59th St. Bridge decades ago will no doubt be elated to see the changes come to fruition.

If the design and execution are creative, energy saving and sustainable, surely the project is worthy of maintenance. Design a graphics program of signs and trash containers urging users to keep their beautiful new streetscape clean by properly disposing of trash, picking up stray trash, and otherwise taking ownership of these improvements.

Very nice! (when it's new); but won't they trap all kinds of litter and street detritus? Once all that "junk" gets caught between the stones, I think it may look pretty bad.

I have been making it a habit of submitting feedback every chance I get. It's always better to be constructive to your ends is what I say.
Most of my games are Windows titles, and while I can make some of them to work in Wine, ever since I made the move to Linux I have made it a habit to just use Linux native games. Using the latest 7.11s I can play every single Linux game out there with my X1950XT, and even the likes of Doom 3.
I prefer to believe that the reason games remain mostly a Windows thing is because it is us, the consumers, that keep demanding them. If the demand were to shift to Linux games, maybe then developers would start re-thinking. It's all about money anyway, and the money is on Windows gaming.

Since baking stones are porous they absorb moisture. Moisture turns to steam at 212°F. If the moisture is forced out of the stone too quickly it can develop cracks. This is why a slow, gradual temperature increase is so important.Even if we predried the stone at the factory it would pick up moisture during shipment to you. To ensure there was a nominal amount of moisture in the stone the predrying process would have to be repeated.
If you store the baking stone outdoors it must be covered to protect it from the weather. If its stored outside for prolonged periods its best to bring the baking stone up to temperature slowly.

One-of-a-kind, different, brown eyed girl. Knows too many people for her own good but hangs out with only a specific few. She is funny, very smart, loud yet quiet in a lot of situations, and beautiful. :) Playing her many instruments or even listening to music calms her till she comes back to reality. Also she comes off as a strong brunette but she is the worst type of nervous. Oh! One last thing; if you like her, its better to just say it because even if she doesn't like you she won't turn you down like a bytch.
That girl over there is SO a Jami.

The tailed beasts (尾獣, bijū) are the nine titanic behemoths within the Naruto series. They are differentiated by the number of tails they have, ranging from one to nine. The tailed beasts are living forms of chakra, sometimes referred to as "Chakra Monsters" (チャクラのバケモノ, Chakura no Bakemono),[1][2] giving them power that far outmatches most shinobi. The tailed beasts' chakra is coloured red.
According to some, the immense strength that the tailed beasts possess is tempered by their bestial nature, which restricts them from being intelligent enough to use it effectively, thus when the tailed beasts are sealed within humans, they are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to better utilise their powers.[3] However, this was proven to be false, as the tailed beasts themselves are in fact sapient individuals with their own personalities and emotions, and because of their power, they were sought out by countless humans throughout the ages, and were usually treated as mere tools to be used or taken, a sentiment they absolutely detest. In addition, they are well aware of their origin and the state of the ninja world.
They also have the ability to communicate telepathically with each other and their jinchūriki, and possess several levels of consciousness. There is the initial level where the beast may appear in a habitat of sorts seemingly imprisoned in some way by whatever fūinjutsu that sealed them.[4][5] The second level is where all the tailed beasts can convene, free of any restrictions and communicate with one another. The jinchūriki are also able to enter there, but in order to do so, they must be completely linked with their tailed beasts.[6]
The tailed beasts are also able to freely transfer their chakra to whomever they choose, and as Kurama has noted, is a less complicated process for them than it is for humans.[7][8]
See also: Jinchūriki
In the beginning of ninja history, centuries before the founding of the ninja villages, there existed a god-like entity known as the Ten-Tails, which plagued the world until the Sage of the Six Paths defeated and sealed the beast within himself, making him the first jinchūriki. However, knowing that his death would release the Ten-Tails back into the world, the Sage used his ability, the "Creation of All Things", to divide its chakra into the nine tailed beasts, before using Chibaku Tensei to seal its body in what would become the moon.[9][10] Some time after being created, the Sage gave each of the young tailed beasts a name and told them that they would always be together, even when separated. He also told them that one day, they would become one entity again with a different name as well as forms than they did at that time; when the time came for them to understand what true power was.[11] Despite their close relation to one another, there is a significant amount of friction between them. One such cause was due to Kurama's belief that their strength was determined by their number of tails.[12]
By the time of the formation of the shinobi villages, Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, used his Wood Release techniques to capture and give several tailed beasts to the other shinobi villages as peace treaties, in order to stabilise the balance of power between them.[2] However, after Hashirama's death, the villages had trouble containing the beasts themselves and they began to run wild, so the villages instead moved to seal the tailed beasts within humans. In order to ensure that the jinchūriki wouldn't turn traitor, it has been common practice to choose the jinchūriki from the village's Kage family, such as a sibling or a spouse. The strength of the jinchūriki would then be used to protect the village and be a living display of the Kage's power.[13] Throughout history, very few people have ever gained full control over a tailed beast.[14] Despite this, some have been able to use the power of the tailed beasts outside of actually becoming true jinchūriki. The legendary Gold and Silver Brothers became Kurama's pseudo-jinchūriki, as they were once devoured by it, but managed to survive by consuming some of its own normally-deadly flesh, becoming tinged with its chakra.[15][16]
With the power of the Sharingan, Madara Uchiha was able to control the Nine-Tails and use it during his battle with Hashirama Senju.[17][18] During the battle, however, control of the beast was wrested from him,[19] and he was thought to be defeated at the Valley of the End. However it was later revealed that he had in fact survived the altercation, and obtained Hashirama's DNA — his true purpose for the encounter.[20] Integrating Hashirama's DNA into his wounds,[21] Madara awakened the Rinnegan shortly before the end of his natural lifespan. With it, he was able to summon the vessel of the Ten-Tails from the moon.[22] However, using artificial means to expand his life,[23] Madara was unable to carry out his plan to revive the Ten-Tails. As such he passed on this task to a young Obito Uchiha who had come to share his view on the world after Rin Nohara's death.[24]
With the help of Akatsuki, by the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, seven of the nine tailed beasts had been sealed into the statue.[25] Later, all the beasts were resealed into their respective, reincarnated hosts which had been made into a personalised Six Paths of Pain. Irked by the slow progress of the plan, Tobi accompanied by the statue entered the battlefield to obtain the Benihisago and Kohaku no Jōhei which contained the Gold and Silver Brothers who were pseudo-jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.[26] Despite not having sealed the Eight and Nine-Tails entirely — only possessing portions of their power, Tobi decided to begin the plan as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path undergoes a painful regeneration into the Ten-Tails.[27][28] When Madara realised that the plan had begun without the Eight and Nine-Tails being absorbed, he attempted to rectify this.[29] Despite Naruto and Killer B's attempt to destroy the Demonic Statue while in mid-transformation, it is successfully restored into the Ten-Tails, albeit in an incomplete form.[30]

Similar Beasts
In other Naruto media, there are beasts that share some similar traits to the tailed beasts but are however not tailed beasts themselves.
- In Naruto Shippūden 2: Bonds, it features a creature called the Zero-Tails. Despite having a numerical tail name, it is not an actual tailed beast and it has characteristics that are quite different from them.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Blade Chronicles, there are five dragons known as the Genryū, each possessing one of the five chakra natures. If all the Genryū are combined, they become the Light Dragon.
- In Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive, there is the Three-Headed Guardian Beast, guardian of Yumegakure which, like the tailed beasts, is a living form of chakra.
- In Naruto 6: Road to Ninja, Menma creates nine masked entities known as the Nine Masked Beasts, composed of chakra from Kurama's Genjutsu World counterpart, the Black Nine-Tails. Their true forms are actually nine small masked fox kits.
- In the manga, before Taka began working with Akatsuki, Akatsuki was said to have seven tailed beasts. In the anime, when Taka is sent to capture Gyūki, the group has only six, the seventh missing beast being Saiken to make room for an additional anime-only arc.
- Several non-jinchūriki shinobi, such as Kisame Hoshigaki and the Fourth Raikage, have been said to hold chakra levels comparable to that of a tailed beast. In fact, the former has been given the moniker of Tailed Beast without a Tail (尾を持たない尾獣, O o Motanai Bijū, English TV: Tailless Tailed Beast).[31][32]
- Madara has claimed that the power of his Susanoo is comparable to that of a tailed beast.[33]
- Among the tailed beasts, only Kurama has been shown to be subject to the Summoning Technique.
- The concept of a pseudo-jinchūriki was explored in an anime-exclusive arc, in which Sora was revealed to have had residual chakra from Kurama, collected after it rampaged Konoha, sealed into him. This happened before the introduction of the concept in the manga.
- A Kumogakure ninja once attempted to replicate the Gold and Silver Brothers' stunt with tentacle meat from Gyūki, but died instead. The brothers' success was attributed to a possible distant relationship with the Sage of the Six Paths.[34]
- In the anime, the Four Celestial Symbols Men were also able to siphon Shukaku's power in order to revive their leader, Seimei.

Love it
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Super thin, good coverage and doesn't irritate my head like some of the thicker wind blocking caps and bands. This replaced a PI Barrier band I lost which was ok but love the simplicity of this and it's bright!
UPDATE: Maybe a tad thin for 35 degrees but wasn't super unbearable on a 2 hours road ride in that temperature.

Kendrick aims to keep rolling vs. Giants
Lincecum seeking consistency in matchup with Phillies righty
While it would have been hard to imagine before the season began, Kyle Kendrick has been the Phillies' most consistent starter so far this season.
The right-hander has five quality starts in six of his outings this season and has won his last two starts.
He'll look to keep that pace going Tuesday as the Phillies take on the Giants at AT&T Park.
In his previous outing Thursday against the Marlins, Kendrick allowed just two runs on seven hits in seven innings of work. He also struck out five and walked two for his third win of the season.
"I've always kind of expected this out of me," Kendrick said after his last start. "I know it hasn't been there in the past like I've wanted, the fans have wanted it, my teammates, the coaches, the organization. But I expect this out of me.
"Hopefully now I can be consistent like that and every time out give us a chance to win the game. That's the main thing as a starting pitcher. I'm feeling comfortable and confident I can do that every time out."
Meanwhile, Tim Lincecum will be on hill for the Giants in what continues to be an on-again, off-again season for the right-hander.
He allowed five runs on 10 hits in five innings of work against the D-backs on Wednesday. He also struck out six and walked none in the no-decision.
In his two starts prior to that, both against the Padres, Lincecum dominated, holding San Diego to two runs on 10 hits in 13 2/3 innings.
Phillies: Halladay goes on DL with shoulder problems
Starter Roy Halladay will visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Tuesday in Los Angeles, where he expects to learn more about his injured right shoulder. The Phillies placed Halladay on the 15-day disabled list Monday with what they called inflammation.
"I couldn't speculate," said Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr., asked if thought he will see Halladay pitch again this season. "I wish I knew. Hopefully it's something minor and not something major."
Amaro said the Phillies are looking externally and internally for the long term, but indicated they will promote somebody from Triple-A Lehigh Valley for Friday's start against the D-backs in Phoenix.
Giants: Pagan sits out game
Center fielder Angel Pagan tested his mild right hamstring strain by doing some light running in the outfield before Monday's game with the Phillies.
Pagan said he didn't feel anything in his leg but agreed with Giants manager Bruce Bochy to rest it one more day.
"It's not bad to give it another day just to make sure I won't have any setbacks," Pagan said. "I'm going to prepare just like I would for any game and be ready just in case."
Worth noting
• Giants left-handed reliever Jose Mijares was expected to return to the team Monday, but he did not arrive in time for the game. As a result, the Giants placed Mijares on the restricted list. Bochy wasn't making anything out of it and anticipated Mijares would be in uniform for Tuesday night's game against the Phillies.

Home to Ireland's oldest city, to the breathtaking Comeragh Mountains and Copper Coast, you'll have only one difficulty in Waterford: leaving
Back in 1170, a gentleman by the name of Henry II came sailing up the River Suir in search of the Norman lord, Strongbow. Passing the Hook peninsula to his right, and the tiny village of Crook to his left, he vowed to reach the city "by Hook or by Crook".
Out of such offhand quips, legendary phrases are born.
Touring Waterford's coastline today, you can still see that estuary, that peninsula, and that tiny village. You can also still see the city that Strongbow claimed for the Normans in 1170. Waterford is Ireland's oldest city, founded in 853, and you can predate even Henry II by exploring its three-part Museum of Treasures.
But it's not all ancient history – as funky shops, electric festivals and the brand new Waterford Crystal Visitor Centre will tell you.

County Waterford also hosts Ireland's only Michelin Star outside Dublin at The Cliff House Hotel, a seal of approval for a broader foodie scene taking in everything from artisan breweries to freshly-baked blaas (the county's unique, floury white bread rolls).
Waterford's Copper Coast European Geopark is a seriously gorgeous strip of shoreline. Stretching 25km from the Victorian resort of Tramore to leafy Stradbally, this short drive spills over with cliffs, coves, sea stacks and coastal views. In wintertime, you may even see passing whales.
The Copper Coast gets its name from the copper mines that once dotted the area. And historical nuggets crop up as often as hidden coves. Watch out for the Metal Man at Newtown Head, for instance. Perched on a white pillar, the 15-foot sailor was erected by Lloyd's of London to stem the costly flow of ships mistaking Tramore Bay for Waterford Harbour.
In complete contrast, to the north of the county lie the Comeragh Mountains. Walkers won't want for opportunities, with wow-moments coming courtesy of the Mahon Falls and the glacial lake Coumshingaun, in particular. Stashed away near Kilclooney Wood, Coumshingaun is black as the night, and said to be bottomless.
Don't forget west Waterford, either. Ardmore is where you'll find the remains of a 5th century monastic settlement established by St Declan. A striking round tower is the highlight, though you'll find much more – including the saint's hidden hermitage – on a 5km walk around the nearby cliffs.
Remember Henry II. Get there, by hook or by crook.

This Roll - A - Way is worth the money We received the bed and mattress in one box, on time. It was easy to do the minimal assembly needed. My son ( who used this in our spare room) mentioned that he was surprised that the bed was so comfortable since the one he is used to has a much thicker mattress. The only reason I gave the product 4 stars instead of 5 is that we have not had it long enough to tell how it will endure.

Roll-away Bed I ordered two of these for use in our vacation home. Loved the first one, but it was out of stock when I tried to order another. When the stock was replenished, I ordered a second one. The mattress now rests on springs instead of slats (not as firm); and a bar was added across the frame where the wheels attach. The wheels rotate and turn perfectly when the folded bed is on its side; but when I let the folded bed rest on the wheels, they do not rotate or turn. They just drag across the floor. The original features were much better than the modified versions. Since my husband had assembled the bed and discarded the packaging, there was no way to return it.

Excellent buy for the price Needed a extra bed for company. Figured the matress would be really cheap due to the low price. Surprised to find how comfortable it is. The matress is much firmer than we expected. Assembly consisted of putting on leg rollers. Ready to go! Very good value for the price!

Awesome !!!! I received my bed as promised and immediately fell in love with the comfort of the mattress. My daughters absolutely love the bed. The height is just right for us and I can't seem to keep my children out of the bed. I have yet to experience a night on the bed but my children have nothing but good things to say about it. Thanks for the memories !!! I can't wait to purchase another. :)

Why did you choose this product?
it looks to be the best purchase for the money
My sons are always having their buddies over and we are in need of additional resting space. The reviews are great, and the price is right!
Because it has 4" mattress and wheels
Since this bed is going to only be used occasionally I didn't want to break the bank and this fit the bill. As for comfort I read that if you put a padded mattress topper on it is quite comfortable, so what more could a person ask for.
for a guest
I need temporary sleeping arrangement for a child.
We already have one and need another.

Where does bed ship from ???????????????????
Hello 4sailor66, this is made in Italy. Thank you for shopping with us.
From their warehouses in the USA (most probably Georgia).
the same bed on sears has a prop to recline the bed at a 45 degree angle does this bed have the same feature
Hello flash86. Thank you for your question regarding the InnerSpace Folding Twin-size Roll-away Guest Bed. No, this is not the same as the one on Sear's website, this one doesn't adjust like that. However, item #14351962 does. I hope this answer helps you, thanks for shopping with us.
No I do not believe it has a prop to recline but it is very nice for an extra bed.
I am interested in only purchasing the mattress for the InnerSpace Folding Twin-size Roll-away Guest Bed. Can I do that, is it available through a catalog order, or at a store; and how much is it?
Is a different bed from Sears and will cost you more there anyway, so go with this model instead.
What are the dimensions of the bed/frame when it is folded for storage?
Thank you for shopping with us mominshoreview. It is designed to fit easily in a closet when folded up; measures 43 H x 31 W x 13.5 D.

Perfect for storing in a closet or even carrying into an attic.
This bed fits easy on any space (43 H x 31 W x 13.5 D.) (Inches) and weights about 50 pounds...not so bad!

How to Fold a Twin Blanket
Twin blankets are convenient for foldingand are the ideal bedding size for small spaces. Folding a twin blanket is typically a one-person job.

It is important to fold a twin blanket as soon as the dryer completes its cycle. There will be fewer wrinkles, and the fresh scent will remain longer. Look below to learn how to fold a twin blanket.

Interesting Facts about Your Air Mattress
Air mattresses have come a long way from the simple blow-up air beds that took superhuman lung capacity to fill and often left guests sleeping miserably on a partially deflated plastic mat. From everyday uses like sleepovers and quick naps to special occasions like a remote camping getaway or out-of-town guests, air mattresses are now made to fit your lifestyle. They can stow away neatly or claim a permanent spot in your bedroom, but there are a few facts you may not know about the buoyant beds.
How to Choose a Sleep Sofa

How to Care for and Maintain Bed Frames
Few pieces of furniture are as important in your home as your bed frames. The bed frames you choose will be the centerpiece of each bedroom in your home. Chances are you have a variety of bed frames in your home, whether you have kids beds, a queen bed frame, king bed frame, full-size bed, twin bed frame, storage bed, loft bed or a few canopy beds. Although there are many different kinds of bed frames, from wood to metal bed frames, none are immune to regular wear and tear over the years. When you buy a bed frame, you probably want it to last a while. Proper maintenance and care of your bed frames will ensure they last for years to come. Here are some tips on how to help extend the shelf life of your bed frames.
FAQs about Queen Bed Dimensions
A queen bed suggests the feel of opulence and splendor in its very name.

Look below to find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about queen bed dimensions.
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 Pick a Mattress for a Toddler

If you're shopping for new crib mattresses, consider these steps, so you will know how to pick a mattress for a toddler bed that will help your child's new bed feel cozy and secure.
How to Store an Air Mattress
Investing in comfortable and easy-to-store air beds means you'll always have a soft bed available. In addition, air beds are fantastic for camping, visiting friends or accommodating house guests. Additionally, if you have children, air beds are wonderful solutions for sleepovers. Air mattresses are typically made out of comfortable material, but you can add high-quality sheets, blankets and other bedding for an even more comfortable experience.

Best Reasons to Have a California King Bed
Similar in size to a standard king bed, a California king bed is four inches longer, allowing a lot of extra room top to bottom. A California king bed measures 72 inches wide and 84 inches long, and a standard king mattress measures 76 inches wide and 80 inches long, so while a California king mattress is four inches longer, it is also about four inches thinner than a standard king bed. Making a decision between the two might be difficult. Ultimately, both are great options, but there are a few conditions that might make a California king size bed the clear choice. Before you pick which king mattress is right for you, here are a few of the best reasons to choose a California king bed.

When you're looking for a sofa bed, comfort is one of the most important aspects. This article should help you learn how to choose a good sofa bed.
How To Freshen a Futon Mattress
Futons are more than emergency bedding for guests.

The methods of caring for futons range from airing them outside to cleaning them with a damp cloth; what you choose will depend on the state of your mattress.

Choose the right sheets for your bedroom furniture and treat your guests to an inflatable mattress experience they'll never forget.

High blood pressure is abnormally high blood pressure with no known cause. Blood pressure measurements are read as two numbers:
High blood pressure is defined as systolic pressure greater than 140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure greater than 90 mmHg. You are considered prehypertensive if your systolic blood pressure is between 120-139 mmHg, or your diastolic pressure is between 80- 89 mmHg.
High blood pressure puts stress on the heart, lungs, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels. Over time, this condition can damage these organs and tissues.

Sometimes people become anxious at the doctor's office. This may result in a higher than normal blood pressure reading. You may be asked to measure your blood pressure at home or in another location.
