Keep on sharing memories of Bea Arthur.
The Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress and one of the stars in the 1980s TV series "The Golden Girls," has passed away from cancer.
The Tony and Emmy Award-winning actress and one of the stars in the 1980s TV series "The Golden Girls," has passed away from cancer.
Tribute created by:
I would drop everything to go watch the Golden Girls. Bea was always my favorite. Her perfectly timed humor made that show the best it could be. We all know there will never be another Bea Arthur.
I absolutely love all your shows, especially the golden girls. it's so difficult to overcome the fact that you are no more, i guess we all know that people die and we accept that, but there are some people in life that we just can't emagine to be gone, we just didnt want you to go...
there are such great actors, till born today, but there will never be another Bea. and for this reason, you'll always be in our hearts....because you deserve to be.
Tahira -
I have always loved Bea Arthur, and my only regret is that I never saw her in person. When Golden Girls was originally on evening tv, I would miss choir practice just to see her. Bea was a champ! They were all great in their own rights, but Bea could simply give a look or raise an eyebrow and I'd fall in the floor laughing. Rest in peace, Dorothy - There will never be another like you!
I absolutely love the Golden Girls and they all were Golden Girls in their own right. Their talent, charm, witt, and passion were all what made the show so great both on and off the screen. I think some of who they really were shined through on the screen. Bea Arthur was witty and charming and funny!!! I will miss them all.
my memories of Bea Arthur, and all the Golden Girls...my Mom God rest her soul watched them religiously and when all of us would get together we would get a cheesecake or just a cake n watch it together n have desert right along with them. My mom finally gets to meet her and Estelle Getty...I also remember Bea in Maude as a teenager...loved that show..she was a great actress n funny as heck....U will be missed Queen Bea
r.i.p u were always funny
I will miss bea arthur and of course Estelle Getty they always made me laugh
I will miss bea arthur and of course Estelle Getty they always made me laugh
I simply adored the golden girls, But most of all bea arthur, she not only was a wonderful actress, But a wonderful singer as well...
The show forever lives within my heart, -
Our househild has watched The Golden Girls when it was originally aired and now all the reruns each and every day. God Bless Bea Arthur, as well as Estelle Getty who passed previously. The show has added so much comedy and laughter to our everyday lives. Yhere will never be another success such as this group of ladies....

Watch OUT! Here comes Nerd Rage and Anti-Ubuntu posts!
Here, let me start! "Arch could do that better!".
Am I doing it right?
Phoronix: Ubuntu Linux For Mobile Phones Announced
Canonical officially announced Ubuntu Phone OS today, it's attempt at pushing the popular desktop Linux distribution onto mobile devices. However, for the moment, if you're just an end-user don't get too excited...
Watch OUT! Here comes Nerd Rage and Anti-Ubuntu posts!
Here, let me start! "Arch could do that better!".
Am I doing it right?
Was there an ETA on the sale of the phone. Can't find it anywhere.
I'm still waiting for Ubuntu TV.
Hmm QML toolkit, html5 so it's like tizen but more like meego and obviously debian packaging system. Well hopefully after CES we see is it any good, some big phone manufacturer could show phone with ubuntu mobile os on there.
Plasma Active looks like a better idea than this actually... Still nice, it would be good if they maintained compatibility with Plasma...
Hands on: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kXWnMTm7We8.
Okay, it has only become 2013 and we're getting hyped up for false hopes?
Ubuntu TV for 2012 (didn't happen...)
Ubuntu for Android 2012 (died off?)
Ubuntu Phone 2013 (No vendor support, but hey we got the OS! -.-)
I'm sorry to rant but I've lost hope for Canonical. They are good at getting peoples hopes up, but actually delivering rarely happens. I wouldn't announce any type of gadget until you GOT A HARDWARE VENDOR...:/
What graphics server is it running? Wayland? X.org? Something else?

It has been nearly 10 years since the high school and middle school Nordic ski programs have raced at the Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Center, just north of Truckee, Calif. Racing returned there on Jan. 25, as Nevada Union High School and Alder Creek Middle School co-hosted freestyle (skate) races. Warmer temperatures made the course on the soupy side, and race day was like a cool drizzly day along the Oregon coast.
The high school races took place over a hilly two lap course, for a total distance of five km. More than 50 high school girls hit the course first, with varsity skier Katrin Larusson, of Sugar Bowl Academy, leading the way. Larusson won with a time of 15:33, just 30 seconds ahead of Hannah Halvorsen, of Truckee.
Cara Filce led the South Tahoe High School ladies varsity team with a 16th-place finish in 20:42.
The Vikings showed their strength in the open race by going one, two. Freshman Kylee Lyons won in 19:55, with freshman Alley Swain right behind st 19:58.
On the varsity boys' side, the quickest skier of the day was North Tahoe's Patrick McElravey, who covered the two laps in 13:56. He finished five seconds ahead of his teammate Shane Christian (14:01).
Junior Kyle Swain led the varsity Vikings with a 13th-place finish in 16:18.
In the open division, Ethan Rohlf, of Truckee, turned in a time of 17:14. Chas Carlson was the strongest Viking, finishing fourth (19:46).
Racing then moved onto the middle school teams, and the girls took to the course first. They skated a single lap course totaling thee km. Mia Winans, of Alder Creek Middle School in Truckee, finished first (11:22), but a mere few seconds separated first through fifth place.
For the South Tahoe Middle School Timberwolves, Alee Zaccor was the strongest skier, finishing in 24th place (13:39).
In the Middle School boys' race, first place (9:33) went to Ryland Belisie, of Alder Creek. He finished nearly 40 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor, North Tahoe's Cody Atwood.
For the Timberwolves, Kyle Ferguson was the fastest skier with a time of 13:07, good enough for 33rd place.
Nordic teams travel to Mammoth
A week later, the sun was shinning bright as the Nordic teams arrived at the Tamarack Lodge in Mammoth Lakes for the second classic (diagonal stride) race of the season.
Snow conditions had not improved, so klister (soft ski wax) was the word of the day for the high school teams.
The South Tahoe Middle School eliminated waxing all together by using waxless skis, many of which were provided by Scotty Shehadi of the "The Sportsman", and Tyler Cannon's ski rental.
Racing started with the high school boys this time. The course was two laps on a tricky route with plenty of short uphill climbs and downhill drops. This was an interval start race, so the racers were racing the clock. Evan Vomund, of Incline High, was the fastest skier of the day, covering the 5 km in 22:25.
South Tahoe's Harley Norton grabbed second in 23:32.
"This was a very strong race for the Viking boys, as they finished second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh and eleventh in the varsity race," coach Mark Hoefer said.
In the open division, Chas Carlson was the strongest Viking finisher, taking second in 28:55.
On the varsity girls' side, Tara Gallant, of North Tahoe, navigated the same course in 27:28, which was more than 50 second ahead of her teammate Emily Nall (28:20).
For the Lady Vikings, Cara Filce was the strongest strider, finishing in fifth place (31:33). For the girls' open race, Kerry Norton and Alley Swain had nearly identical times of 32:14, and were the Vikings top finisher in second and third respectively.
The middle school racers competed on the same course shaved to a 3 km single lap. The boys went off first, and Trace Calvin, of Mammoth Middle School, posted a winning time of 12:08. He was a few strides, time wise, ahead of Cameron Small, of Mammoth Independent, who came in second (12:18).
Kyle Ferguson, who placed 30th (17:04), led the South Tahoe Timberwolves boys' team.
On the middle school girls' side, the fastest skier of the day was Claire Lang-Ree, of Alder Creek, who blazed around the course in 13:43. This was nearly a minute ahead of the second place skier, Mia Winans, also from Alder Creek. Once again, Allee Zaccor lead the Timberwolves girls' team, finishing in 15th place (16:27).
On Friday, the Nordic competition moved to North Tahoe High School, on a portion of the Tahoe X-C Center venue, just outside of Tahoe City.

Title | A Late Cretaceous gastropod homing scar (possibly ichnogenus Lacrimichnus) from southern Limburg, The Netherlands |
Journal | Scripta Geologica |
Volume | 134 |
Year | 2007 |
Pages | 19-25 |
Keywords | Trace fossil; homing scar; Gastropoda; Lacrimichnus; Cirripedia; Upper Cretaceous; Maastrichtian; The Netherlands |
Abstract | An isolated gastropod homing scar, etched into an arcoscalpelline (cirripede) scutum, is recorded from the upper Nekum Member (Maastricht Formation, upper Maastrichtian) at the ENCI-HeidelbergCement Group quarry. This trace may be assignable to the ichnogenus Lacrimichnus Santos, Mayoral & Muñiz, that comprises etching scars produced by Neogene calyptraeid and/or capulid gastropods and ostreid bivalves from southern Spain and Portugal. However, it differs from both ichnospecies currently contained in that ichnogenus, L. bonarensis and L. cacelensis, in showing a relatively deep depression around the rim, irregularly distributed pit- and slit-like depressions, and an irregularly subcircular outline. Despite the wealth of available hard substrates (bivalves, coleoids, echinoids, etc.) and of hipponicid gastropods, such traces are exceedingly rare in the type area of the Maastrichtian Stage. |

text: The main problem of QT, however, is its dual license: it is not possible to produce QT software incompatible with the GPL without paying Trolltech (unless I missed something ...). As a result, most commercial companies chose to support GTK instead. Nokia has said they intend to continue to dual license as before, creating an even bigger problem for third parties (Trolltech was a small independent company, while Nokia is huge and competes with a lot of folks).

Because politics is totally one of those things that you're supposed to talk about at work, right?
Moto, quit talking a big game and go secede. Maybe you and Bighead could both make a go at striking out on your own and living outside this corrupt system. Just hang onto a computer or smartphone or something and let us know how it works out for you.
Right...cause things like this never happen. People talk about politics all the time. You can't talk about that...blah, blah blabitty... Where the hell have you been? That wasn't even my point. My point was...if looking for a good job, you wouldn't begin to even get to a second interview in private industry in most cases by spouting off Obama praising. You know, the guy you are so proud of.
Anyone that I know would laugh at you and send you merrily on your way. Most private industry is not exactly impressed with Obama.
Sorry, I forgot, Moto. Your life experience is indicative of how the entire world works. My bad.
He's exaggerating it a lot, but the voting habits of people in the business class make this belief something that is based on a little more than personal experience.
lol, Moto is acting like revealing that you support Obama to an employer is like trying to get a job at Fenway Park wearing a Yankees hat or something.

Apr 8, 2013wasn't sure if it was possible for them to make a worse sequel that the 1st movie where they blow the ice caps and they sink....but turns out i was wrong, pure garbage movie, the action was awful, the acting was awful, they was nothing worth while in this movie.
Apr 25, 2013
Jan 5, 2014G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a brainless exercise of fun and exciting action sequences but is held too loosely by its narrative and underdeveloped characters.
Nov 10, 2014G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a brainless exercise of fun and exciting action sequences but is held too loosely by its slim narrative and underdeveloped characters.
Nov 13, 2014
Apr 8, 2013I'll begin by stating that I am not familiar with the G.I. Joe franchise. However, it doesn't take a G.I. Joe fan to recognize that pretty special effects can't save a film oozing with stale characters and a pathetic script.
Mar 29, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Apr 5, 2013G.I. Joe Retaliation is much better than G.I. joe Rise of the Cobra. The action is much better and the Special FX are better to. The story is good, I only can say positive things about this movie.
Mar 30, 2013
Apr 7, 2013I don't understand. This is obviously not the movie I was expecting. In my childhood, G.I. Joes were action figures that kids loved to play with and when I went to watch this movie, there wasn't a single action figure in it! 2/10 stars.
Mar 31, 2013
Mar 29, 2013Well. This movie is a ''more of the same'' type movie. Its all very spectacular but with no sense. I saw it in 3D. Thats why I scored it with a 5. The 3D effects are good, but the story is a piece of crap. There are a lot of 'shoot whatever moves' moments. Don't waste your money. I mean it
Apr 17, 2013Oh my God! This movie was excellent It is action-packed from beginning to the end. I loved the high tech toys and the special effects. I was thrilled the whole timed Dwayne The Rock) is fine as usual. Whoever does not like this movie, don't believe them, please go and judge for yourself. I go to the show to be entertained, and this is what you get from G.I.Joe.
May 28, 2013After the last one, I thought I was going to get the same thing, and since this was directed by the director of the Step Up movies, I thought it was going to be even worse than the last one. I was HUGELY mistaken! This sequel/reboot is exactly what G.I. Joe is: stupid fun! Jon M. Chu definitely shows he's a huge fan of G.I. Joe and he should be praised for this!

Mar 29, 2013A good if not very good action movie. A big improvement over the first. Dialogue was a bit hokey, but forgivable. Well done action sequences. Good, if not great pacing. Funny at times and had a little bit more to it then the previews. Biggest gripe was the previews still showed to much. But that is the nature of modern previews in general. Worth a watch and still a decent enough movie overall.

Mar 29, 2013Its definetly a bigger step from Rise of Cobra, however Retaliation has an are-we-there-yet effect on its non stop action scenes and has plot shifts that are strange especially because of what happens to Duke at the beginning.
Apr 4, 2013This movie is a joke! The story is messed up, there is no character development, the graphics are somewhat outdated and the jokes are forced and are corny. One of the most-hyped movies that turned out to be garabage. I gave it a 2 because I'm generous today. If you love GI Joe as a child and want to preserve your childhood, be warned. This movie is a nightmare. Beware!

Aug 17, 2013You seriously have to be a 5 year old or an idiot to like this movie. It's got some STUPID actors and actresses, terrible graphics, and a plot line straight from a 3 year old's mouth. Just a cash grab where they didn't even TRY to make a decent movie.
Aug 15, 2013La primera película fue un completo desastre, y la segunda parte trae dos actores que son para este tipo de películas: The Rock Johnson y Bruce Willis. Esto la hizo un poco mas entretenida, pero tiene un guión pobre y un humor sutil y poco divertido. Buenas escenas de acción, por eso el 6.
Apr 8, 2013The movie is fun, but, surprisingly, I was confused at times not knowing the mythology of the G.I. Joe series. Couldn't figure out who the "good guys" were at all times. The film could have been tighter.
Mar 31, 2013
Jun 4, 2013"While it does leave a bittersweet taste in your mouth when your leaving the theater. This "sequel" is more of a reboot than anything. Introducing some new characters along the way. John M. Cho attempt at remaking the beloved GI Joe series was accomplished" B-
Apr 25, 2013Dumb as can be but at least it's pretty good at being that. Better than the Transformers movies as it lacks those 8-year-old humor moments that make you ashamed of existing.
Aug 22, 2013
Aug 14, 2014G.I Joe: Retaliation is no masterpiece, but I still found it to be silly, brain-dead fun. And it was certainly far, far better than the stinky first G.I Joe outing.
Aug 3, 2013I would give this movie a solid "meh" review. I pretty much completely forgot it after I watched it. The biggest problem with this one was little tie in with the first movie, as well as only have a few actual focused GI Joe characters and pretty much a bunch of expendibles. The movie seemed to rush the plot, and was just rife with inaccuracies. I wouldn't even rate it eye candy, it was meh.

Apr 3, 2013This was a good action flick, which is what it was meant to be. There are some funny moments, but it is dominated by the special effects and action sequences. If you go to the film, go knowing what to expect, if these aren't your kind of movie, don't go to it expecting something else.
Apr 14, 2013
Apr 29, 2013Yeah, the strongest most elite army in the world gets wiped out with 6 granades.
A movie so badly written, that the only thing enjoyable are the explotions ,because even the Ninja characters, do everything....except act like Ninjas. -
Apr 15, 2013This is actually a decent film. Desperately adequate story speckled with some excellent action sequences. The star power factor will keep you interested for most of your time with this movie as it dissolves into action movie overkill.
Jan 19, 2014This is way better than the first. The Action, Story, and Cast all better! Now maybe I liked allot cause I am comparing it to the last, but this was fun to watch.My only issue was the attempt at comedy in the beginning. I just wish they stopped trying to throw pointless jokes in, but overall it was fun to watch. I really don`t get why it has such a low rating.
May 3, 2013I t was really a nice movie though,i was not expecting Channing Tatum to be out from the movie so early which makes the interest of the movie to be dull but all the same a quick one from Dwayne Jones?
Jul 6, 2013It's better than Rise of the Cobra, but that's not saying much. I did enjoy The Rock in this movie and some of the stuff with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were cool, but still bad dialogue and some dumb scenes in this film makes it not worth your time.
Apr 1, 2013
Mar 31, 2013The movie is really cool but at the end is a little boring. Also, Bruce Willis doesnt´look like a real G.I Joe. Well, Dwanye Jonhson isn´t a good actor in any movie EXCEPT this one. Though, I wanted that Snake Eyes show his face at any point in the movie. Still is pretty good.
Apr 2, 2013
Apr 3, 2013What you will find in this movie is nothing else but fun. The movie is cool and my inner child loved it and wished it came out when I was 7. It is faithful to the cartoon and to the franchise. Don't expect Dark knight but do give it a try if you are just looking to be entertained.

Apr 7, 2013A big improvement over the first one. The 3D Was worth it The rock was perfect as Roadblock Lady Jaye was also good ,Flint was ok .Loved Channing Tatum as Duke .Cobra Commander was just Badass although they should showed him more Bruce Willis great to see him as the original joe .Jon Chu has done it right can't wait for G.I.JOE 3
Apr 7, 2013I thought this Joe installment was a bit of a let down. It's a compilation of awesome fight scenes stitched together by a story that could have been created by my 11 year old nephew. Read my full review at the following link:

Apr 23, 2013You can read my review of the action heavy sequel "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" here http://geektasticfilmreviews.blogspot.com/2013/04/gi-joe-retaliation.html
Apr 26, 2013I was PISSED when I heard the actors from the last GI joe where not in the movie but I really enjoyed the movie.
The rock is my man an always excels at making an action movie something to enjoy!. Far off from a great story the only real thing that makes this movie is the Rock and its action packed fights. -
May 6, 2013The film is okay.The action scenes are really good and the Rock is pretty good,but the story is a not that strong.If you want to see a lot of action I guess you should see this film.
Apr 28, 2013
May 2, 2013"G.I. Joe Retaliation" is a big dumb action movie, but that is not a bad thing because it is an entertaining big dumb action move. The spectacle of the action scenes is amazing and the actors do their job well.

Aug 18, 2013The rotation of characters were surprising and slightly disappointing. I didn't enjoy the first movie, and so goes this sequel. The G.I. Joe series just isn't getting it right.
Sep 7, 2013
Sep 30, 2013I saw this movie at my friends house and i got so bored that i turned of the TV and we did something else. I didn't see the whole movie but i saw enough to know that it was one of the worst movies of the year. if you are a fan of action movies and you watch this film you will be really disappointed.
Oct 23, 2013This review contains spoilers.
Jan 17, 2014G.I. Joe: Retaliation is bad but not terrible. Good crowd scenes and special effects, fights and explosions. He places an exciting but very stupid. The story and the script is very bad, almost none of the actors were not the first film.
Jan 11, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
May 3, 2014Throwing away almost everthing from the first movie without giving it room to grow, this sequel is more of a reset, leaving the Joes no memory of what their mission is.
Apr 3, 2013There actually is some clever dialogue in the film, especially early on between Roadblock and Duke (Tatum). But this fades over the course of the film, and too much of what the characters say sounds as though it's been lifted verbatim from 1930s and 1940s serials.
This movie never realizes how ridiculous anything it does truly is, right up to the last-second promise of another sequel.
An action figure with a sweet core, Johnson can pump up the humanity of any franchise, whether he's playing a stepdad who becomes a hero in Journey 2 or, as here, a stud soldier who treats Flint and Jaye like his grown children and shepherds them through peril. Following those younger Joes, the Retaliation audience is encouraged to clamber up on Johnson's huge soldiers and go along for a pretty cool ride.

Meet DLIFLC's new Command Sergeant Major
MONTEREY, Calif. - The newest addition to the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center's military leadership, Command Sgt. Maj. Alan Pendergast, arrived June 15 to replace outgoing Command Sgt. Maj. Tracey Bellotte.
For the past two years, Pendergast has been stationed in Yongsan, Korea, at the home of the 8th Army in the United States Forces Korea Headquarters. He worked with the Republic of Korea military on a day-to-day basis and from there he was selected to come to DLIFLC.
Pendergast is no stranger to DLIFLC, having graduated from the Korean Basic Course in 1988 and later filled a Korean linguist position at Fort Ord for his language utilization tour.
Pendergast has enjoyed multiple assignments and duties throughout his 30-year career. In addition to serving as a linguist, he has also been a military policeman, a counterintelligence agent, and has graduated from the Sergeants Major Academy. Moreover, he received a of Masters of Art in Education, summa cum laude, from Touro University International, which is now part of Trident University.
"Five out of my last eight years have been in Korea. Out of the other three years, about two of them were at Fort Bragg and then 15 months were in Iraq," said Pendergast.
When in Korea, he was in Area 1 for two years, which is in the northern part of South Korea, close to the Korean Demilitarized Zone, as Battalion Sergeant Major of the 107th Military Intelligence Battalion. He was then selected to serve as the Battalion Sergeant Major for the 2nd Infantry Division Special Troops Battalion, a battalion of approximately 1,600 Soldiers on the Korean Peninsula.
Now, as the new Command Sgt. Maj. at DLIFLC, Pendergast said, "I'm hoping to mentor the senior NCOs [non-commissioned officers] here to be the best leaders they can be for our junior Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines and to assist the commandant in providing the highest quality training that a person can get."
Since Pendergast worked with Joint Task Force 6 in El Paso on a counter-drug mission with Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Army, he said that the transition to DLIFLC should not be a big adjustment - he has worn the "purple suit" before.
One of his chief responsibilities will be "to enable students to have the best opportunities to succeed in learning their languages that they?re here to study, whether that is through initiatives, or through the professors, doctors, teachers and all the people who work here," said Pendergast.
Pendergast concluded by saying, "we're all here for one mission, and that's to ensure we give the students the best quality language education that they can get."

Mine is a reflection of my belief that the Red Wing's third line of Cleary/Filpulla/Samuelsson is better than many of the top lines in the NHL and 90% of the second lines. This is due to them having a far superior team than anyone else. Ergo, these fantastic players are playing all the way down on the third line. Werd.
It's a blacked-out blur but I'm pretty sure it ruled.

An arbitrator Saturday upheld most of New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez's 211-game doping suspension, keeping him out of the 162-game 2014 regular season and the postseason.
The ruling by Major League Baseball arbitrator Fredric Horowitz will not only cost Rodriguez $25 million in salary, it also further clouds the all-star career of a player who will turn 40 during the 2015 season.
The most severe punishment in baseball history for doping, the 162-game suspension highlights baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's recent high-profile crackdown on performance-enhancing drugs.
Rodriguez, one of the best players of his generation who was once considered an automatic Hall of Fame candidate, was defiant in a statement released Saturday. He will likely appeal in federal court.
"The number of games sadly comes as no surprise, as the deck has been stacked against me from day one," said Rodriguez, who has struggled with hip injuries in recent years. "This is one man's decision that was not put before a fair and impartial jury, does not involve me having failed a single drug test, is at odds with the facts and is inconsistent with the terms of the Joint Drug Agreement and the Basic Agreement, and relies on testimony and documents that would never have been allowed in any court in the United States because they are false and wholly unreliable."
When the suspension ends in 2015, Rodriguez will be owed $61 million in a contract that runs through 2017.
Major League Baseball did not release details of the arbitrator's decision, which the players union said it "strongly disagrees" with.
Saturday's ruling stemmed from Rodriguez's appeal of a his suspension by MLB, which accused him of taking performance-enhancing drugs and having ties to the now-shuttered Biogenesis clinic in South Florida.
Biogenesis was a former anti-aging clinic that MLB said supplied steroids to at least a dozen baseball players.
Rodriguez, one of 14 players suspended in the Biogenesis scandal, was the only one who appealed his suspension. Though he was suspended in August, Rodriguez played out the 2013 season because of the appeal.
Rodriguez, 38, is fifth on MLB's list of all-time home run leaders, just six runs behind Willie Mays.
Rodriguez, who has claimed he was the target of a MLB "witch hunt," will probably appeal Horowitz's decision in the courts or to seek to delay the suspension.
"No player should have to go through what I have been dealing with, and I am exhausting all options to ensure not only that I get justice, but that players' contracts and rights are protected through the next round of bargaining, and that the MLB investigation and arbitration process cannot be used against others in the future the way it is currently being used to unjustly punish me," Rodriguez said in a statement.

Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, the film tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption — a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.

Test ID: P_PB
Phenytoin, Total and Phenobarbital Group, Serum
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) is performed using the Olympus analyzer. EMIT offers an alternative to the traditional spectroscopic and chromatographic method for quantitating blood concentrations of drugs. The technique for drugs is based upon an enzymatic assay for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, using spectral properties at 340 nm, in which the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) substrate is monitored. The basis of the drug detection technique is an immunological reaction between the drug and a specific antibody. The reagent contains the enzyme (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) to which the drug is covalently bound and antibody-specific to the drug. The antibody binds most of the drug-bound enzyme, rendering the enzyme inactive. This results in a baseline enzymatic activity. In the presence of free drug, antibody equilibrates between free drug and enzyme-bound drug leaving some of the drug-bound enzyme uncomplexed and able to catalyze the reaction. If more free drug is introduced, either as standard or sample, then competition for the antibody takes place between the drug in the sample and the drug attached to the enzyme. This results in more drug-bound enzyme being left uncomplexed and able to catalyze the enzyme reaction at a greater rate as compared to the baseline activity. The observed enzyme activity increases with the amount of total free drug in the sample.(Package inserts: EMIT 2000 Phenytoin Assay and EMIT 2000 Phenobarbital Assay. Olympus, Melville, NY. October 2005)
PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.

Mets match Niese vs. Twins' Worley in series opener
After losing consecutive games Thursday and Friday, the Mets needed Jon Niese to pull out the win Saturday in his second start of the season.
A win meant saving his club from dropping its first series of the season, and if that was not enough pressure, the Marlins' pestering him for eight hits off an array of bloops and bleeders put even more on the lefty's plate.
Having lost back-to-back games again, the Mets will need the same kind of resolve Niese showed Saturday.
Whereas earlier in his career he might have cracked, Niese managed to limit the damage Saturday with just two runs (one earned) through six innings while striking out five. As he takes the mound Friday at 8:10 p.m. ET, he will face the Twins for just the second time in his career in what is expected to be nearly freezing temperatures.
With five inches of heavy snow falling Thursday in the Twin Cities, crews worked all day at Target Field removing snow from seats and other areas of the ballpark in preparation for the game.
Niese controlled that first matchup, in 2010, with a similar performance -- five strikeouts and six scoreless innings.
The Twins will answer with Vance Worley, who will look to bounce back from a rocky bout against the Orioles on Saturday. Worley allowed five runs (four earned) on 10 hits in five innings.
Worley is 3-3 in his career against the Mets, having allowed 22 earned runs and 52 hits through 38 1/3 innings. The right-hander has struggled early through two starts this year; he has worked a combined 11 innings with opponents hitting .360 against him. The numbers are due at least in part to Worley's aggressiveness to contact. Worley has surrendered just two walks this season and owns a career 18-14 record with a 3.59 ERA.
Mets: Switched-up lineup
The Mets used their fourth different leadoff hitter in five games Wednesday, slotting Jordany Valdespin first against the Phillies. Manager Terry Collins has said he values on-base ability foremost in a leadoff man, previously giving Mike Baxter the role, but lately has been changing his stance.
"They're two different guys," Collins said. "Baxter gives us that steadiness. Jordany, because he's a different kind of player, can maybe ignite you early by hitting a double or hitting one over the fence in the first inning. He's got that kind of capability."
Twins: Diamond returns
Twins starter Scott Diamond is set to take the mound this weekend, making his first appearance after recovering from left elbow surgery. The left-hander had a promising season in 2012, going a team-best 12-9 with a 3.54 ERA.
"He led by example," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Scotty studies the game and prepares very well for the opposing team. He got us deep into games and won his fair share of them. He stepped up and did a real nice job for us. You have to be able to work both sides of the plate and Scotty does that."
Diamond was a workhorse for Minnesota with a team-high 173 innings and was expected to start on Opening Day for the Twins before the injury.
Worth noting
The Mets and Twins entered Wednesday's game with the highest and second-highest walk totals in the league, respectively. Josh Willingham enters Friday's game with eight walks, tied with Albert Pujols for most in the American League, while Lucas Duda leads the Mets with seven walks.

Great mattress My son liked this mattress so much at our summer home that he purchased one for himself at home. He bought the firm. It is really firm but it works well for him. It opened in a matter of hours. Very little off gassing, just open a window while it is expanding.

Good for the money I got this mattress only a week after ordering it and was thrilled at how easy it was the set up. It was not too heavy for me to get inside by myself and as soon as I cut the cardboard and plastic wrapping off, it immediately started to fluff up, back to its original shape. Within a few hours, it was fully fluffed. Only thing is, and you'll see this in the other reviews...it is REALLY firm. I got the medium firmness and it is REALLY firm. So, I would definitely recommend the soft. I put a topper on mine and am now sleeping great but I would definitely advise anyone to get the soft version because I would rate the medium as very firm in a standard mattress. Either way, it's a great mattress for the money and I am thrilled with my purchase! Hope this is helpful. :)

Sleeping Like A Baby Being a heavy guy, I ordered the firm choice, and it turned out to be a great choice. It does sleep a little warm, but not as much as I thought., This is easily the most comfortable bed I have ever owned, and I am sleeping better than I probably ever have. I don't wake up 5-6 times a night to turn anymore, either. My cat thinks I bought it for him, and he's on it more than, I am! Overstock also got it here in record time. I used the free shipping, ordering on late Saturday night,. It arrived on Tuesday! As wonderful as this bed is, the price is unbelievable. I would definitely recommend this...and you guys that are heavy...around 300lbs...the firm is a good choice.

Not sure yet Mattress was received 9 days after my order was placed. It comes rolled up and within 30 minutes, was ready for use. I did not notice any odor. It is very light and easy to handle. It is a very hard, dense foam, not like a viscoelastic name brand. It is very hard but I am adjusting to it after 3 weeks of use. I purchased a very thickly padded cover and that helps some. I made my purchase decision based on the review comments from others, but I am slightly disappointed. I would recommend this mattress only if you want something very hard. (I did request soft) The mattress holds in body heat, which is not good for summer months but may be nice for winter.

SLEEEEEP EEEEEEZY! This mattress was a leap of faith. First time trying a memory foam, first time without actually trying before buying. I'm so glad I did! I got the firm option and I love it. There was no off gassing. The mattress pouffed right up. I'm heavy and this has been the first time in years I can fall asleep on my left side without a pinch in my hip. I no longer feel twisted and bent in the mornings. I don't feel like I've been trying to find the perfect spot. My old mattress was only 3 years old, but it will be the last traditional mattress I ever bought. I love, love, love this bed. I'll be putting one on the guest beds too! So worth every single penny! If you like a firm mattress - this one won't let you down. It's not board firm, the mattress does conform to your hills and valleys. But it's not like sleeping in a marshmallow and being burrito wrapped. Just firm - gentle support all night long! Best part - no more cold spots when I roll over! And nope - no issues with it making me hot either!

mattress The medium mattress arrived just in time for my sister's visit. She told me at home she had a hard time sleeping straight thru the night and couldn't understand why she was able to do so here. I told her she was sleeping on a new memory foam mattress and she couldn't believe she liked it so well. The price was right especially since I had been shopping for a full mattress and the better ones were MUCH more expensive. No smell. Looks great. Just unraveled and popped it on the platform bedframe, no boxspring needed. Loved it.

previous purchase and like this mattress
I am interested in the bed frame in this picture in King size, can you please tell me how to find it?
Thank you for your question, Keely. We do not have the bed frame that is pictured and we do not know where to purchase it. We are sorry. Please check out the Varnish Oak Queen Bed, item 16278551. Have a great day.
Looking for a full-size mattress set for my brother who is 400+lbs. Can you offer suggestions on mattress sets as well as a platform or heavy-duty frame to support him and the mattress set?
Thank you for your question, nightynight. Please check out the DuraBed Full-size Heavy Duty Steel Foundation & Frame-in-One Mattress Support System Platform Bed Frame, item 13032675 and the DuraBed King-size Heavy Duty Steel Foundation & Frame-in-One Mattress Support System Platform Bed Frame, item 13032677 or the Drive Medical Full Electric Bariatric Hospital Bed, item 14753626. For a mattress we have the Slumber Solutions Choose Your Comfort 14-inch King-size Gel Memory Foam Mattress, item 15869866. Please be aware that Overstock does not weight test items. Have a great day.
Is there anyway to "deflate" the mattress...if one is moving for instance?
Hello skkp3, thank you for your inquiry. This item is not able to deflate. Thank you for shopping with us.
Does this mattress come with a box spring?
What is the cover, is it stretchable? And is this also considered a visco elastic mattress?
Thank you for shopping with us mareemt51. This foam is patented bio-based open-cell visco memory foam with nine times the airflow of traditional memory foam. This could very well help those who prefer a cooler temperature for sleeping. Have a great day.
How do I get rid of the plastic smell from being shipped?
The smell should totally dissipate within the first 48-72 hours
I opened mine and let it puff up and set out for about a week in a spare room with the windows open, soon after the smell went away and it is the best mattress I have ever slept on.
Mine went away after the first day.
I have had the temperpedic celebrity and now we have the IComfort Prodigy. I want to get a full size for our guest room. How does the firmness choices compare.
Reviews suggest that they are comparable to other brands. This bed also tends to be more on the firm side. Thanks for contacting us.
All the reviews told me this was firmer than they hoped so I got the medium and wished I'd gotten the firmer one. After a few months of use the middle (where you sleep) becomes softer than the edges and you can actually see it when the bed is made. I would go with the firmer, and if it's for a guest room it won't get used every day like mine.
This bed does not wear well. It slopes and breaks down quickly from daily use. is not as durable as a Novaform. I have no experience with the brands you named.
Hi, I bought this over a year ago; it still feels fine but I'm not sure if I have it right-side up or not. Am I understanding from your answer to someone else, that it SHOULDN'T be flipped once or twice a year ? Also, does this foam have any phthalates in it ? Thank you, Chris
Does not appear to need flipping like traditional mattresses. Don't know about phthalates.
Thank you for contacting us 2soon2say. You can rotate this mattress. None of our foam we pour contains phthalates. Sorry for the delay in the response of you questions. If there is anything else I can assist you with please let me know.
I am moving into an apartment in August but want to buy this mattress now for budgeting purposes. I do not want to unroll it because the roll is easier to move. How important is it to unroll it within 72 hours? If I don't, and keep it rolled for 3 months, will it ever rise to the full 11 inches?
Yes, it doesn't matter that it will be rolled.
I think you have to leave it setting unrolled for 72 hours, not unroll it within 72 hours. We left ours unrolled for a week before using it and it is perfect.
what are the dimensions of this bed when shipped?
um, a huge sausage 55" tall and about two feet thick / diameter; bed is 54"x75"
Thank you for your question. The dimensions of the shipping box are Height: 15 inches Width: 16 inches Length: 58 inches.
Yes, a huge sausage...couldn't describe it better. Inflates very quickly and there was little to no smell. I love it.
Does this mattress contain PB fire retardant ? Was the foam poured in the usa or just assembled to give it the made in usa rating? Do you know what it was treated with?
No this mattress doesn't contain fire retardant is covered with a fire sock. The foam was poured in the usa. Unfortunately we don't know what it was treated with. We apologize for any inconvenience we might have caused. Please let me know if you have any further question.
how is it possible to return this item once purchased? the return policy states to inspect the mattress and that it can only be returned if refused at delivery..how can you inspect when it requires 2 hours of unpacking time?
Contact customer service after letting the mattress expand if there are any manufacture defects
is this mattress made in the U.S.?
This is made in the US.
Hi- I am ordering this mattress today but since i do not live in a door man apartment, i was thinking of getting it shipped to work. Will i be able to carry this by myself?

How to Clean Memory Foam Mattresses
A soft and comfortable memory foam mattress is a treat to sleep on -- until a drink is spilled on it or a pet has an accident on it. While it may seem impossible to clean, you don't have to be intimidated. Memory foam mattresses are actually easy to clean, and you'll have positive results if you follow the instructions. All you need are a few household products and some time for cleaning it thoroughly.
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.
Best Pillow-top Mattresses for Back Pain
The key to a good night's sleep when you have chronic back pain is as simple as choosing a good pillow-top mattress. Choosing the best mattress involves knowledge of your personal needs and preferences. To get a comfortable night's sleep, start by choosing a pillow-top mattress made from the right materials for you. Next, choose your preferred thickness. Finally, have firm sleep support underneath the cushions of the pillow-top. Below, you'll learn the best pillow-top mattresses for back pain. Choose the materials: Pillow-top mattresses are made from a variety of materials, so choosing the one that is right for you can make all the difference in the world. People with muscle pain should consider down pillow-top mattresses, which provide a cocoon to sleep in. Those with back issues will generally prefer memory foam pillow-top mattresses, which conform to the body and offer consistent support to areas like the lower back. However, it is important to check the manufacturer's information regarding the recommended weight allowances for these types of pillow-tops. Consumers who are heavier than the recommendations may find that the pillow-top cushion compresses in uncomfortable ways, leaving the mattress lumpy. Determine the thickness: Pillow-top mattresses come in a variety of thicknesses, from just 2 inches to 8 or more inches deep. Like choosing the right materials for your pillow-top, choosing the right depth is vital to getting a good night's sleep. Thinner pillow-top mattresses will allow more of the support from the remainder of the mattress to come through and will not develop body indentations as pronounced as those in a deep pillow-top. Pillow-top mattresses that are too soft may fail to provide back support and cause an increase in back pain. However, deep pillow-top mattresses are excellent for customers who suffer from fibromyalgia or other chronic pain. Check the warranty: Just as you would with any other purchases of its size, check the warranty of your pillow-top mattress. Most manufacturers will provide limited, pro-rated replacement warranties for manufacturer's defects, and some will provide a "comfort guarantee." Others may have specific conditions that must be met in order to maintain the warranty, such as having a boxed spring by the same manufacturer. Take note of any special conditions for the warranty and keep the paperwork. View All Mattresses Back to Guides Directory View All Mattresses
Choosing the Right Density for Your Memory Foam Mattress
A decade ago, choosing a memory foam mattress was easier because there were so few brands and options. However, as the prices of memory foam mattresses have dropped, more brands have begun producing memory foam bedding, and choosing the right mattress has become more challenging. However, one factor remains constant throughout the different brands: memory foam density. Memory foam density, expressed in pounds per cubic foot, makes a big difference in the softness, durability, support, and price of your mattress. Knowing a little about the different densities of memory foam mattresses can simplify the buying process and help you find the memory foam mattress that's right for you.
