The Best Latex Mattress Ever
I had back surgery years ago and this mattress works miracles for my back. No more morning back and leg pain.Read More
Love the new mattress
Been sleeping on it for 2 weeks. So good, so far. Got the firm and my back loves it. We took the chance on this and so far it has worked out amazingly well.Read More
2 years later and so disappointed.
BEWARE!!! I like everyone else was ah struck by this mattress when it first arrived. I slept incredible the first 6 months then started to feel a few lumps, no problem, switched sides with my husband and we were back on our way. Here we are 2 years later and this mattress is so bowed, so worn on our two sides. And we are not huge people!!! My husband is 6"3 and 190 pounds. So no reason it should have broken down like that, the top cover has worn and ripped, you cannot flip the mattress so the dips are just there. Here we are spending another $**** from an actual mattress store because this one was so incredibly terrible. We both dread laying on it and sleep fitful and terrible. Please consider long run before spending so much of your hard earned money. Go to a mattress store and try them out and such, because this one will feel nice for awhile, but a few years in you will be wishing you had saved that grand.Read More
Great mattress for the money
Edges sag a bit when trying to sit on the edge of the bed, but overall it's a comfortable mattress - esp. for the money!Read More

A GREAT buy for the money!
Great matress! My wife and I have been getting great sleep now since we purchased this. The latex/memory foam combination is perfect because the bed does form to your body a little but also gives great support and its not hard to get in and out of bed or change positions!I weight over 300lbs and this bed supports every bit of me!Read More
Great mattress (even for a pregnant woman) :)
As with most folks, I was reticent to buy a mattress online. However, I'm very glad I did. Not only did I save a lot of money in comparison to going to a brick and mortar furniture store, but the product is great and delivered quickly! I'm currently pregnant. I no longer have to place so many pillows around me to support my growing frame (though, I am a fairly small person--only 110 lbs pregnant). The mattress adjusts to my countour very well. I chose medium firmness. Hopefully, this helps in making your decision to purchase.Read More
I read the other reviews about 5 times before i had the courage to order this bed. THANK GOD I had the courage! It is the BEST BED we have ever slept on. We had a memory foam for the past 15 years and it began to sag so we needed a new bed and we tested the latex beds at the local stores. Way too expensive for us so we began the online search and read reviews. We belong to overstock.com and so when I pulled up this bed I knew I was interested. DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY THIS BED, IT IS EXCELLENT! We bought the Medium and we also bought two medium pillows that we love too. I would like to try a Soft pillow and may order one soon. All we can say is that it is amazing to get a KING SIze Bed in a Box. Roll it out and watch it grow into the best bed you'll ever own. WE got ours at 9am and we're able to sleep on it that night. I love it so much I hate to get up in the morning. I just want to lay on it forever. BUY IT NOW and you'll be glad you did. THANK YOU Overstock .comRead More
Just what the doc ordered!!!!
The bed is PERFECT for someone with a bad back and/or sleeps on their side. Over the last two years I have spent THOUSANDS going to the doctor to find out what the heck was wrong w/me. Getting second opinions for a pain on my left side around my ribs and moves around to the front. I just knew that there was something they weren't finding. Over the last three mths I have been taking 1/2 a pill of Oxycodone to help with the pain and ONE (1) week on this bed and it is GONE! I haven't taken any medication and I feel great. I am sleeping so good and feel so rested. If I had only know what a difference a mattress could make! I also purchased firm pillows to go with that help align my back and I haven't felt this good in years.Read More
Buying this mattress was a GREAT decision
I went by the reviews left by other shoppers so thank you all for your input. This is our first foam mattress and we didn't know much about it but we had to do something because our backs were really complaining about our overly soft standard construction mattress. We slept better from the very first night and, wonder of wonder, no morning back pain. The shipping and unpacking all went as described and we had no trouble at all. My husband injured himself and developed sciatica this year and says this is the most pain free he's been in months - thanks to the mattress.Read More
Questions & Answers
I purchased the medium and regret not buying the firm or frankly buying it at all. I have similar joint issue while sleeping and found this mattress to be less than helpful. To really get a comfortable night sleep you would need to spend around $*** on a higher end all latex mattress. Check out the website Sleep Like the Dead. Unfortunately, sometimes the old adage "you get what you pay for" is true.
Hi, I have two questions: 1) how thick is the cover, and 2) is the mattress two-sided or one sided (can it be flipped)? Thanks!
Hello Dan, the cover is a standard thickness and is bamboo. This mattress cannot be flipped. Thanks for shopping with us!
I read a review about the mattress not being what was in the picture. What happens if I get the mattress and its not what I thought it would be? Can I return it?
Hello ADub, if this item does not arrive as described, please contact our Customer Care immediately. We will gladly assist with correcting this right away. Thank you for shopping with us.
If you read the return policy, once open it cant be returned, I think is what I read
No answer yet on the weight of the high density? Can't one just call the manufacturer and find out quickly?
Hello Ohioan, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
I see that the 8 inch support is listed at high density but I am interested in the pound description on the density -- is it 1.8 lb or 4 lb density? thanks.
Hello Ohioan, the eight inch support is 1.5 pounds polyurethane foam in the mattress. Thanks for shopping with us!
Why did you choose this product?
Hopefully the MEDIUM firmness will be just right, as the TempurPedic mattress we have is too soft.
My back hurts and need a new mattress.
I liked the reviews and looked on line for days. I hope I made the right decision.
we have wanted a foam mattress for years-hope this one fulfills our desires
Can the bed support someone 375lbs and if so, what firmness would need to be purchased?
Hello eotiker, we do not currently weight test items. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us.
How soft is the soft ? How Soft is the medium?
Hello wendyos, I hope your day is going well. You will sink into the soft but if you are a side sleeper or need more support pick the medium. Thank you for shopping with us and have a great day.
For me, the soft is medium.
Soft is really soft in this case
What is the batting for the bamboo cover and how thick is it?
Hello creek2112, Bamboo batting is made from 50 percent bamboo and 50 percent organic cotton blend and 3 inches thick for the NuForm Allure Talalay Latex Soft/ Medium/ Firm 11-inch King-size Mattress. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
I ordered this mattress and it was delivered today. I love it. I ordered firm, and my paperwork says firm, but the mattress' labels do not say "firm" anywhere. How can I be sure I got firm? These #'s were on the tag: "Prototype ID: 1161 30 00 1 1161 30 00 0"
Thank you for shopping with us markmac13. I checked and you did receive the firm mattress. Have a great day.
What is the density of the polyurethane foam support core in pounds? Thanks.
Hello alleycatinnyc, this has a 19 pound ILD rating. Have a great day!
Hi, this is just an edit to the answer to my own question for anyone else looking at the Q&As--the "19 ILD" rating the CSR is citing is for the firmness of the "soft" version of the latex top layer, not the density of the support core. Similarly, I asked a CSR in chat about the support core and was told 4 lbs, which is also incorrect (that stat is also for the latex). No clear answer yet on the urethane core!
Can this mattress be used on my existing box spring, or does the mattress require a platform bed or slatted frame? I saw a previous comment indicating the mattress requires no box spring, great for platform beds and slatted frames.
Hello, Yes you can also use this on a box spring. Have a great day!
Is there a foundation on your site that would go with this mattress? Is the cover a bamboo cotton knit? The 70% synthetic latex is it Dunlop? Thanks.
Thank you for shopping with us. I am working on getting you the information. I will post when it becomes available. Have a great day.
Two questions-Can this be used with a adjustable base ,second, does this bed had heat retention issues?(I'm warm sleeper)
Hello scjj1, Yes this Mattress can be used with an existing frame. No this bed doesn't have any problems with heat retention issues. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
The descriptions says mattress has an 8-inch high density support core. What is the density of the core in pounds (1.5 lb, 2.35 lb)?
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, at this time, the information is not available. As the information becomes available, the site will be updated. Have a great day.
what is the firmness of the mattress?
Thank you starrtrekk for your interest in the NuForm Allure Talalay Latex Soft/ Medium/ Firm 11-inch King-size Mattress. This comes in soft, medium and firm. You would select it in the options. Thank you for shopping with us!
How much does this mattress weigh?
Thank you for shopping with us mrsmjt. The shipping weight is 125 pounds. Have a great day.
Is the cover woven or knit?
Thank you for contacting us rando61. This is woven. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Does it come with a box spring or is there one available for purchase as well? Does it come with a 10 yr warranty or is that the 1 the site gives the consumer the option to purchase?
Thank you for your question. This does not come with a box spring. the 10 year warranty is the service plan for purchase on site. I hope this helps you. Have a great day!
Does not come with box springs. Either order one from them or look locally like we had too.
ok, here we go - bamboo cover, what's used as batting, organic wool? is glue used to hold the poly and latex foams together? is the cover zipped and able to be opened? is the poly foam soy? any fire retardants used at all, if so is it all natural like wool? are these all brand new, never opened, never slept on, never returned mattresses? warranty q's - 10 yr full replacement? what qualifies a mattress as defective and constitutes replacement? who does the warranty service?
Thanks for your interest, there is no wool used in this mattress. We use a FR fiber from Jones Fiber. Yes we use a water based glue. No this mattress is completely sewn shut. No we don't use a soy based foam. Yes these are brand new mattresses. There is a 10 year limited warranty and it covers any manufacturers defect in materials and workmanship. It would be a repair or replacement.

Green Rebuilding in New Orleans still Faces Obstacles
Funding is the biggest obstacle that New Orleans businesses and organizations encounter in their green building projects and services, according to a new assessment report about green rebuilding efforts in the hurricane-ravaged city from the Sierra Club. Other factors include a lack of knowledge about green building concepts, small staff size and lack of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accredited professionals.
The assessment report catalogs current and former green projects, evaluates the capacity and needs of businesses, and provides profiles on key agencies and a directory of local green building service providers.
The report was based on two different surveys. One survey was given to universities, architects, construction companies, nonprofit organizations and others involved in the rebuilding efforts in New Orleans, while the second survey focused on workforce training programs, reports Mother Nature Network.
The 53-page report, New Orleans Green Building Assessment, provides a detailed summary of survey results that cover topics such as obstacles to green building projects and services, percentage of green products purchased, reasons for not purchasing green products, percentage of local volunteers and knowledge of green building concepts.
Of the agencies profiled in the report, 36.7 percent have been involved in the green building industry for 13 months to two years, reports Mother Nature Network. The survey also finds that while the majority of respondents provide advocacy and technical assistance services, only one-third are involved in research on green building.
Another finding shows that 16 of the 42 participants provide additional services including energy efficiency, green building planning and design, consultation, implementation, real estate development, preserving historic architecture, and building reuse and recycling.
Although the report finds that businesses purchase a wide range of green products, respondents indicate that the top three reasons for not purchasing green products is cost, lack of local vendors and lack of supply.
Key findings from the workforce training survey indicate that most training programs focus on older youth and adults, and two-thirds of respondents say that their main obstacles are funding, lack of training materials and lack of green building teaching staff. Another one-third of respondents say there is a need for hands-on training opportunities and a LEED accredited staff.

The documentation journey starts at the mailing list and never ends. In this article, Greg Pittman explains how he started writing documentation for Scribus, an open source desktop publishing application.
With the announcement of the Ubuntu phone, the Ubuntu developer blog had outgrown its WordPress site, and needed an open source content management system with great international features. DjangoCMS fit the bill, and here's why and how the blog made the move.
While open source continues to expand into diverse and unusual places, we have seen another interesting phenomenon spring up in the wake of the early open source successes: the open organization.

A new study indicates that primates exposed to lead as infants show Alzheimer disease–like pathology later (Wu J et al. J Neurosci. 2008;28[1]:3-9).
A research team led by investigators at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston exposed Macaca fascicularis monkeys from birth to age 400 days to lead levels that produced no obvious sign of toxicity. After approximately 23 years, examination of the brains of the lead-exposed monkeys revealed many hallmarks of Alzheimer disease despite undetectable levels of lead in the blood.
Brains of these monkeys harbored neuronal plaques and neurofibrillary tangles and exhibited increased expression of Alzheimer disease–related genes.

Dive teams and a sonar-equipped boat have searched the Gunnison River for a 34-year-old Grand Junction woman who hasn't been seen in more than a month.
Crews searched about 15 miles of the river yesterday in hopes of finding clues in the disappearance of Paige Birgfeld.
She was last seen June 28th.
Investigators and volunteers have found Birgfeld's burned-out car and an unloaded handgun not far from the vehicle. They've also recovered some of her personal belongings -- but have declined to identify them.
On Saturday, search dogs released near the place where the car was found led investigators to a nearby RV dealership where a "person of interest" in the case is employed.
Investigators have not said what the dogs found, if anything.

Just wondering how much caffeine the rest of you drink while pregnant? I have cut back quite a bit, DH was just going to get me my french vanilla cappuchino, and he asks what size. When I say large, he gets mad and responds with "we're going to have a hyper baby." I don't think one caffeinated drink a day will harm the baby. Ugh men!
Coffee Consumption while pregnant?

I'm probably not a good one to ask but I drink coffee almost every day. My doctor said up to 300mg a day is considered safe and even above that they actually have no data saying it is harmful to the baby, it just "might" be. If I feel like having a Starbucks, I will usually get a medium one...I also very often drink a large coke from McDonald's. When I was pg with Mavi, I gave up caffeine completely. When I was pregnant with Ayla, I only gave it up for the first trimester, then I became addicted to Frappucinos and would have one every day during the end of the pregnancy. Mavi is by far more hyper than Ayla and always has been, so caffeine has nothing to do with it. I also had my coffee every day that I was nursing Ayla and she has always been a much better sleeper than Mavi. Luckily, dh comes from a country where coffee is a way of life and has never given me any problems about drinking it when I want...in fact, he'd head out and get me a Mocha in the middle of the night if I asked him to LOL.
This has been my most relaxed pregnancy. I have eaten whatever I wanted and basically only gave up alcohol, which I hardly ever had, and smoking, my guilty pleasure that I would rarely do either.

I had a cup of coffee every morning while pregnant with Sullivan. He is a very mellow baby compared to Shae. I didn't drink any caffeine while pregnant with Shae and suffered terrible withdrawl headaches. I really think its all about moderation!!

Judy - Isn't it funny how things change for #2. I also cut out caffeine COMPLETELY for Thomas. With #2 it lasted for the 1st trimester (since it made me feel sick) and then I was back on.
I agree, it's about moderation. That said, I just finished mine this morning, and my mom showed up with another one, LOL!
I feel like with Thomas I did everything "right" and I still had a fussy baby who wouldn't sleep. I am also much more relaxed this pregnancy. I think this baby will be much different from Thomas anyway.

I don't think there's any correlation between a 'hyper' baby and maternal caffeine consumption. I have read that there is a slightly higher risk of miscarriage (but I think that was 1st trimester anyway)...also just a study. I think the medical issue the doctors/studies are concerned about if it constricts placental blood vessels, and I don't think they know for sure if it does or doesn't anyway.
I don't like coffee anyway (neither DH or I like it), and don't drink pop/soda anyway, so caffeine consumption isn't an issue for me (except for my dark chocolate, LOL). But I think most ob-gyns will say it is fine in moderation, as long as you're not drinking coffee constantly all day, you know?

I drank atleast one cup a day with both of my girls. However, with Aidah when I started having preterm contractions my doc cut me off. I had NO caffeine for the last 7-8 weeks, and I also had no caffeine when I was breastfeeding her. Aidah is BY FAR more hyper than Zoey! So I don't think it has any correlation, and I think as long as your not overdoing it, the baby is fine!

When I walked in the three women clerks just gabbed with one another about the last customer who has just walked out (a women with a couple of kids)....and ignored me until I left, when one of them said "Have a Great Day!"

Recap: Bernanke Faces Lawmakers
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke faced Congress's Joint Economic Committee today amid mounting fears that the U.S. economy is falling back into recession. He faced questions about Operation Twist, the Fed's bond-shuffling program that started Monday, and risk of Europe's troubles hitting the U.S. even harder.
In recent weeks, the Fed has faced criticism from both sides of the political aisle. Republican lawmakers and presidential candidates have argued that the Fed is doing too much and risking inflation, while some Democrats have complained that the central bank isn't doing enough to combat unemployment.
The following is a recap of his appearance.
Not a good welcome for the Chairman: Minutes before his testimony hits the wires, the Dow is down more than 200 points. Keep those Dow 10000 hats nearby.
The Fed has released the chairman's testimony for today. You can read it here.
In his prepared remarks Bernanke told U.S. lawmakers the central bank is ready to do more to help the U.S. economy, but said Congress and the White House can also take steps that would aid a persistently weak recovery.
Bernanke said that fostering healthy growth is a "shared responsibility of all economic policymakers, in close cooperation with the private sector.â€
If Chairman Bernanke has any tricks up his sleeve, he's saving them for the Q&A period. His prepared testimony included an old favorite, that the Fed is "prepared to take further action as appropriate." He also says that while monetary policy "can be a powerful tool … it is not a panacea for the problems currently faced by the U.S. economy."
If you want to watch along, you can see video of the chairman's testimony here.
For the nearly six years he's been Fed chairman, Bernanke has been pressing the case (unsuccessfully) for long-term deficit reduction. His budget prescription for the last couple of years has been fairly simple: don't hurt the recovery with immediate budget cuts, but focus on longer-run deficit cuts. About half the committee doesn't care much for that message.
Well, you can call this the definition of "not a panacea." On questioning from the JEC chairman, Sen. Bob Casey (D., Pa.), Bernanke says the the bond-shuffle program will push interest rates down by about a fifth of a percentage point. That's roughly equivalent to cutting the federal funds rate by half a point — in other words, "a significant step but not a game changer," Bernanke says.
At least he's being honest: "We think this is a meaningful but not an enormous support to the economy." The Fed chief says the effort will help "somewhat" in job creation. He acknowledges that "the recovery is close to faltering" and indicates his concern to make sure the unemployment rate falls further. That actually sounds a bit like Bernanke in the summer of 2010 before QE2.
Bernanke said the Fed hasn't done specific work on how undervalued the yuan might be. Economist Arvind Subramanian looked at that issue in a guest post yesterday on Real Time Economics. He's said the Chinese currency is about 15% undervalued.
Rep. Kevin Brady (R., Texas) asks the double-dip-recession question (i.e., will we have one) but pairs it with a question about Europe. As too many journalists have learned, the witness gets to answer the one he wants. Bernanke notes that U.S. banks' exposures to the most troubled euro-zone nations — Portugal, Ireland and Greece — is "minimal." The exposure of money market mutual funds is "somewhat larger" but they have moved away from the riskier countries toward safer markets in France and Germany.
Bernanke says Europe has created "an enormous amount of uncertainty and volatility in financial markets" and says that's one of the reasons the U.S. recovery has been slower.
After discussion of Fed currency swap lines with the European Central Bank, he still managed to skip the double-dip question!
Everybody's favorite socialist in Congress, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), wants to break up the six largest financial institutions. Bernanke, not so much. He says the right response is to put incentives in place that reduce their size and risk-taking. The Fed chief also suggests neither the Fed nor Congress will need to bail anyone out in the future.
What would a default in Greece do to the U.S. financial system? The difference is between an orderly Greek default, with firewalls around others in Europe, and a "disorderly, unplanned and disruptive" default (not so good). Rep. John Campbell (R., Calif.) keeps pressing and wants to know whether there's anything the U.S. should be doing to deal with Europe. Bernanke's answer is blunt but not reassuring: "We are kind of innocent bystanders here," he says.
Bernanke on the budget debacles in Congress: "It's no way to run a railroad," says the Ph.D. economist.
Why are corporations sitting on so much cash? They're waiting for clarity, Bernanke says. Is it uncertainty from the government? "Certainly policy uncertainty is an important issue," he says without a hint of irony and without cracking a smile.
Rep. Michael Burgess (R., Texas) is getting antsy with the lack of definitive answers that support his views. Is the printing press the only tool left for you? he asks.
Bernanke isn't giving him what he wants: "The basic tool that the Federal Reserve has is operations in the open market that may or may not increase the money supply." The Fed does have tools, he says. "Obviously we want to evaluate the costs and the benefits of any decisions." Upon more printing-press comments from Burgess, Bernanke fights back: "The printing press literally is not actually involved," he says, noting that the latest bond-swap program doesn't include a significant increase in the Fed's balance sheet.
Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D., N.Y.) gets deep into the Volcker rule and potential loopholes for banks. (See last month's WSJ story on this.) Bernanke says a proposed rule should be released in a couple of weeks. "It's a complicated rule and we want to make sure it's workable, but at the same time we certainly want to follow the spirit of the statute," he says.
The Fed chairman also invites Hinchey to offer his comments when the rule comes out. But he's not willing to grant the suggestion that the rule will be watered down.
"After all, Chairman Volcker was the chairman of the Federal Reserve, and I look at his picture every day," Bernanke jokes. (Hey, we laughed, but it doesn't look like too many others did.)
This was an actual exchange in the United States Congress:
Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R., S.C.) acknowledged that Congress hasn't taken Bernanke's advice from the spring to deal with the budget. Then he proceeded to school the Fed chief for "encouraging borrowing" through low interest rates. As a result, he said, "there are no consequences" to Congress not taking action because borrowing costs for the government are so low. "One of the unintended consequences of doing what you're doing is making it easier for us" to keep borrowing money, Mulvaney says.
Yes, that was his point: Because the Fed keeps rates low for the economy, Congress can't deal with obvious fiscal problems. It seems Congress needs interest rates to go up for everyone to force action.
Mulvaney quickly moved on to another line of questioning but Bernanke wasn't having any of it when it was his turn to answer. "We keep interest rates down somewhat," he says, but that doesn't eliminate Congress's responsibility. He also notes that the European Central Bank is buying up Greek debt but that isn't doing much to keep Greek borrowing rates down. "If investors lose confidence in the U.S. fiscal situation," he says, the Fed isn't going to be able to help much.
Mulvaney presses on, suggesting that "until ya'll start saying no" — you can't borrow anymore — then the troubles in Congress will continue.
The inflation debate comes up more than 75 minutes into the hearing. And Bernanke makes clear what is his bigger worry today: "Right now, frankly, we're much further away from full employment than we are from price stability."
Surreal World: Bernanke gets asked a million dollar question by Rep. Sean Duffy (R., Wisc.) — a former character in the MTV program The Real World. Duffy asks if QE3 is still on the table. Bernanke says he doesn't take anything off the table, but "we have no immediate plans to do anything like that."
One of the Fed's fiercest critics, Sen. Jim DeMint (R., S.C.), graciously thanks Bernanke for his service to the country — "I appreciate your calmness through the storm" — before he gets fired up.
DeMint, who wants the Fed's mandate focused only on inflation, actually asks a thoughtful question instead of making a speech: If you had a single mandate of just protecting the value of the dollar, how much would your actions change if you did not have the mandate of protecting employment?
Bernanke acknowledges that at "certain times" it would be different but says the Fed's forecasts for inflation led to some of its actions. In August 2010, the inflation rate was falling below 1% while the Fed wanted to keep it closer to 2%. "We would've had to do most of what we've already done just to keep inflation there," he says. Bernanke also offers his reassurance that the Fed can pull back its stimulus when the time comes.
We're in the lightning round of questions, so we'll do lightning-round answers.
On transcripts of FOMC meetings: Bernanke doesn't like the idea of releasing transcripts with two-year lags instead of five years as it does now. Speeding up releases would inhibit discussions among central bankers, he says.
On currency concerns and China: "The dollar is about the same place it was in the summer of 2008," Bernanke says. "It's gone up and down" with flights to safety.
Sen. Bernie Sanders: In light of the protests, did Wall Street's greed and recklessness lead to the crisis?
Bernanke: "Excessive risk-taking had a lot to do with it" and so did the failures of regulators. (Sanders seemed momentarily stunned that Bernanke effectively agreed with him)
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D., Md.): How critical is housing to the economic recovery and are we doing enough on it?
Bernanke: Housing is usually a big part of the recovery and now it's just not doing anything. "I think a lot could be done to address the housing and mortgage situation," he says. Among the options: rent-to-own measures for unsold homes, neighborhood stabilization, getting Fannie and Freddie's futures stabilized (it's a long list).
Rep. Burgess (R., Texas) just did the unthinkable: echoing Sen. Sanders (the most liberal member of the Senate). Burgess said he's asked frequently about the failures of the financial system and regulatory system. He asks, why wasn't there a bigger effort to find out what went wrong and even prosecute people? Bernanke cites Congress's own Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, but Burgess is not impressed.
Still in the lightning round: How much of the current economic situation is due to the large U.S. trade deficit with China and others? asks Rep. Hinchey.
China's currency policy "has been to some extent preventing global adjustment" in economies around the world, Bernanke says
Rep. Mulvaney is back. What tools are left for the Fed? Bernanke refers back to the options he offered up in July: communications changes about the Fed's interest-rate guidance, buying more securities or altering the interest rate for banks' reserves held at the Fed.
Mulvaney also revisits his earlier jaw-dropping line of questioning, this time to dial back his earlier suggestion that the Fed's low-interest-rate policy was preventing Congress from dealing with the deficit:
"I'm not blaming the Fed for our inability to work out our fiscal situation," he says. As "dysfunctional" as Congress is, he notes, if the Fed makes it easier for Congress to borrow at rates under 2% then Congress will want to do just that. "I in no way meant to imply that the Fed was responsible for our shortcomings," he says.
Well, that was indeed the implication. But following congressional tradition, we'll allow him to revise and extend his remarks.
And the hearing is adjourned after just over two hours. Over that period, the Dow has recovered almost 200 points from its lows and is now down about 60 points. We suspect that's a response Chairman Bernanke will happily accept, whether he had anything to do with it or not.

The Scots suffered defeat away from home in their last outing to the Georgians and will be aiming to make amends when they meet again in Paisley.
But, despite not being one of the more "fashionable" names in world football, Stark believes Thursday's opponents are a nation with plenty of quality in their ranks.
He said: "I don't think anyone should be fooled by them being 'wee Georgia' - I think Georgia has a bigger population than us.
"Their coach, Aleksandr Chivadze, played 60 or 70 times for the USSR and was part of that great Dinamo Tbilisi team.
"They've got a pedigree in terms of producing players. We never underestimate them.
"Because they don't have the most fashionable name, we have a tendency in this country to write them off but they deservedly beat us over there."
Victory would put the Scots right back in the mix in Group Three.
Stark added: "We deservedly beat Slovakia who are a good side. That's the way I said the group would pan out, that we would be capable of taking points off each other.
"Holland, obviously, are beating everybody in sight just now.
"I think, now we are in this position, we would quite like them to keep beating everybody - apart from ourselves. That would give us a wee shout."
Stark would love to see Stevie May take his blistering goalscoring form into the clash with Georgia.
The St Johnstone forward has netted 11 goals for his club so far this term, including three in the last two games.
Stark said: "Stevie is a young lad who has done exceptionally well. He was asked to go on loan to Alloa in the Second Division and he scored 20-odd goals.
"He then went out on loan to Hamilton in the First Division and scored 20-odd goals there. Now, the mantle has been thrown down for doing it in the Premier League.
"He's into double figures and we are only in November. He is consistently proving to people that he can handle it.
"His first international goal against Slovakia for us was a big thing as well. We are hoping he can keep going.
"We've got a lot of players who are scoring. If you look at the weekend, Andy Robertson, Callum Paterson, Stevie May and Ryan Gauld all scored.
"That gives you a lift. Scoring certainly doesn't do you any harm and it's good for the confidence. We've come to expect it from Stevie, that's the sort of spell he's having just now.
"We are hopeful he will continue that all season, particularly on Thursday night."

Second Annual Summer Dungeon CrawlMay 27th, 2014
Kingdoms of Novitas is organizing a dungeon crawl event for Saturday, July 19, 2014. This event will give players a chance to experience an elaborate dungeon with obstacles, traps, puzzles, and monsters.
Date: July 19-20, 2014
Start time: Logistics opens at 10am (no earlier, but please be prompt!)
Location: Vanderkamp, the big red barn near Confirmation, same as last year!
Fee: Standard $25, includes full sign-in and a free level.
Pre-registration: Starts during the June KoN Event (7th). All attendees must pre-register and pre-pay for this event. You may not attend the event if you do not plan on participating in the Dungeon Crawl. The site fees are the dungeon crawl budget – we don't spend regular KON funds for this event. As such, this event, like the Feb Feast, is not eligible for the "first-time is free" promotion.
You can pre-pay at the June event, hand cash to Zach (Octavius) or Christina (Naidre), or use Paypal ( email@example.com ). Pre-registration ends July 5, 2014.
Your pre-registration should include:
- Your real name (and the names of anyone else you are pre-registering)
- If PCing, include your PC name
- If you are with a group, which group you will be running the dungeon with (adventuring groups are capped at 10). If you are unable to find a group, please state you are an independent and we will pair you with a group(Please do your due-diligence and attempt to find a group before using this option)
There are only 60 PC slots, and we will only run up to 6 crawls on Saturday. This means there is a 10 player limit per dungeon crawl. This is first come, first served, so we recommend you pre-register early! We are accepting any number of all-day NPCs.
We reserve the right to combine groups or add independents onto crawls that are not at the 10 player cap. We can only run 6 dungeons and we want to make sure that everyone who wants to go, gets to go. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Adventuring Groups: Dungeon adventuring groups will be between 6-10 people. If you have an adventuring party, please decide, as a group, if you will be participating in this dungeon. If you are not part of an adventuring group, either find one, or form your own! Generic dungeons will be available for random groups of independents, but we're asking PCs to organize themselves into groups. You must be part of a group to PC in the Dungeon crawl. Organize your groups early! No PC can go through the dungeon more than once.
NPCing: Everyone attending the event will be scheduled to work a minimum of three crawls and will have at least one break shift. Tasks will involve the usual monsters and hooks, as well as running traps and other obstacles in the dungeon and resetting the dungeon after a crawl is complete. We'll work out a schedule based on pre-registrations, and you will need to be present at your scheduled times. All players are required to attend all day. If a player PCs they must NPC for at least 3 of the dungeons. We may make exceptions on a limited basis with good reasons; talk to Zach (Octavius) before the event if you think you may need special arrangements.
Tentative Event Schedule:
Saturday, July 19
10am Logistics opens for sign-in
11am Game-on!
1pm Meal break – Potluck feast (watch for a potluck sign-up closer to the event).
2am Game off
Sunday, July 20
10am Cleanup
12pm Depart site
Logistics: We will manage Logistics out of a green GP tent that will be set up near the barn. Go there to sign-in. NPC supplies and food will also be staged there.
Parking: Please park along the side of the road near the barn. There are other events taking place at VK this weekend, so we cannot use the parking lot.
Sleeping: Participants can stay overnight Saturday in the cabins. Cabins will not be available until after our meal break.
Food: We will be organizing a potluck meal and snacks to feed people during the day. There will be one scheduled food break at 1:00 in the GP tent. We will ask for people to sign up to bring food items, drinks, and paper products closer to the event. There will be no standard Inn or Inn staff for this event. No feastware is required.
Alcohol: This is a dry event. No exceptions.
Early Arrival: Unfortunately there is no option to arrive Friday night or before 10am Saturday. Summer camp will be going on. Do not arrive Friday night or you'll be turned away due to health department rules regarding having adults on site who we haven't had background checks and sex offender checks. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes. If you have to travel far, we recommend making arrangements with friends who live more locally.
Special Event Rules: Still in the draft stages, so look for an update closer to the event.
- Anyone can walk out of the dungeon at any time, for any reason, while your character is still alive. This mechanic works effectively like a Ley Lines spell – when you decide to walk out, you are instantly out of game. If you choose to do so, your participation in the crawl is over. You cannot re-enter the crawl.
- Each dungeon crawl has a time limit. After the the time limit expires the group will experience a teleport/Ley Lines mechanic which will remove all living PCs from the dungeon, as well as any corpse a living PC is "carrying" (see more below). You have to choose how to prioritize your time within the dungeon and how long you are willing to spend on an individual obstacle, trap, or puzzle. (Unfortunately, we have an aggressive schedule to maintain in order to get six runs through the dungeon in one day.)
- Injury, death, and healing mechanics work the same way in the dungeon as they do in regular game play, but the dungeon creates a few unique challenges. Anyone left dead and unattended in the crawl will not be teleported out at the end of the time limit, and the corpse will not be retrievable later. (This means they will be permanently dead.) The counteraction for this is carrying the body, or a piece of the body, along with the party – if the corpse is with a living member of the party, it will teleport out with the party. If a person is revived from a piece of their body later, any of the items and equipment left on the corpse will remain in the dungeon and cannot be recovered. Please note: In the event of a total party kill (TPK), there is no way to recover.
- There will be no Convergence in the dungeon, regardless of what time it is in real life.
- Accidents may happen, but any player who deliberately breaks the dungeon, such as tearing down walls or otherwise damaging the site, whether out of frustration or in order to gain an advantage, will be kicked out of the dungeon and banned from future Kingdoms of Novitas events.
- No PC can go through the dungeon more than once.

How to offer Penetration Testing Services
How to offer Penetration Testing Services
Security professionals are not big on surprises especially when these surprises have something to do with weak security defenses, taken down applications, and stolen information. There are different ways on how such surprises are prevented but the best way to do it is to think just like the how the culprits do which means to test environments regularly. This is why penetration testing services are profitable business opportunity for those VARs or value-added resellers.
Some customers are apprehensive about this security process. However, they should be reminded that this is what exactly security attackers do. They test the customer's security defenses every day. It is best to show the customers the firewall logs so they can see how serious and consistent the attackers are.
Ethics are unknown to security attackers. They will do just about anything that it takes to break into any computer system and network defense. Therefore, the customers should do the same to check if the attackers succeeded or not.
There are four different testing services to help customers ensure that their network systems are fully protected from attacks.
Vulnerability Scans. This is a direct opportunity and a mature venture. One would just need to decide whether a service such as Qualys' should be resold or if it is wiser to purchase a tool to use for systems and networks scans. Scanning is necessary and perhaps the easiest security assurance process.
Infrastructure Pen Tests. This testing service features live exploits such as Core Impact and Metasploit. It also uses other components such as live ammunition. To facilitate this process, there should not be much disruption to ensure its efficiency. In this process, all externally visible IP addresses are tested. These are exactly what the attackers see and what they want to penetrate. As conference room networks are perhaps the weakest components of a system or a network, it should also be tested.
Aplication Pen Test. For attackers, the most common goal is to break into a system or a network's applications. In fact, these applications are usually directly targeted. There are different online application scanners that are popularly used such as AppScan from IBM and WebInspect from HP. It is also wise to invest on people ware to exploit logic errors of every application in the network. Human skill in such exploitation is still unparalleled. In case that the system's initial application has been compromised, focus on the database as it holds the most important files and information.
User Test. This is something that testers will actually like. Most testers find it fun when they see how other users are very gullible. This type of testing uses fraudulent emails to customer service representatives to walk past the receptionist or the security. It also involves other processes such as dropping thumb drives in unlikely places and wait to see who will use it in their computers.
Everyone will learn a lot as they go with offering and using penetration testing services. Testers will learn about effective and ineffective methods. Customers will realize its importance. Lastly, the Value-Add Reseller helps strengthen the network or system security and build strong relationships with customers.
Four courses, please have a look at:
ECSA - EC-Council Security Analyst and Licensed Penetration Tester
IT Risk Management & Security Training Courses (PCRIM)
CRISC ISACA Certification Courses
ENSA - Network Security Administrator Training Courses
PKI - Public Key Infrastucture Certification & Training Course

Joyce Allard | окт 04, 2013 | North America: Iowa On Sept. 28, Special Olympics Iowa (SOIA) celebrated the annual Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day and her lasting legacy that continues to have a life changing impact for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. "We were thrilled to commemorate Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day through so many Unified Sports events and different activities," said SOIA President and CEO Hal Pittman. "It's a hallmark of the vision and dreams Mrs. Shriver had more than 40 years ago to change the lives of athletes through sports competitions." Activities were held across the entire state. In Davenport, a Bocce Tournament had 22 teams participate. In Des Moines, part of the World's Largest Truck Convoy had 48 trucks involved and raised $14,000+ for SOIA. Principal Financial Group sponsored the Unified Golf Tournaments at Jester Park and Akron. In Sioux City, athletes and Law Enforcement participated in a torch run.

This pliable formula stays flexible even after it dries, so each coat goes on as fresh as the first—immediately or hours later—with zero dragging, clumping, or flaking.Why it's different: The unique "reactivating" formula—enriched with lash conditioners and vitamins—remains flexible between coats so lashes stay separated as volume builds.

Dont force admin media serving with runserver management command.

Dont know why, but runserver manage command starts explicity serving of admin media. For proper encapsulation (contrib vs core) and ability to drop out admin contrib from django installation - here is simple patch wich allows to disable admin media serving via --disable-admin-media.
Also right now runserver will die if you remove contrib/admin.

Seems legitimate that runserver shouldn't depend on admin/admin media.

- Cc treborhudson@… added
I'd actually like to see a discussion of how reusable Django apps can specify their own media and treat contrib.admin as just another reusable app. I know a number of reusable apps that would like some hook into serving media via runserver without resorting to hacks or "copy files to your media folder" instructions.

- A Python 3 quick start for experienced developers
- Creating functions and objects
- Using Python's built-in objects and classes
- Repeating code with loops and iterators
- Understanding and using conditional expressions
- Creating sequences with generators
- Reusing code with objects and libraries
- Handling errors with exceptions
Skill Level Beginner
Polymorphism is the practice of using one object of one particular class as if it were another object of another class. Let's take a look at how this is done in Python. This is actually something that Python is very good at. We'll make a working copy of classes.py and we'll call it classes-working.py. We'll open that and we see we have our Duck class that has quack and walk in it. And we'll go ahead and create a Dog class and Dog will have bark.
And fur. The dog has brown and white fur. Now, we'll go ahead and create a dog object called fido = Dog and fido.bark and fido.fur. So now we have a Dog object and a Duck object.
And if we go and run this, we see that the Duck quacks and walks like a duck. And the Dog barks and has brown and white fur. So these are two separate and distinct objects and they have two separate and distinct interfaces. If we want to be able to use them polymorphically, we need to make sure that they have a common interface. And so the Duck class, we can give it a bark and a fur and say bark.
print('The duck cannot bark'). And fur, and this one will say "The duck has feathers." And we can give the Dog, a walk. print('Walks like a dog'). And quack. The dog cannot quack.
Now, we can use them in the same way. For example, let's just get rid of all of this, and we have a Dog and we have a Duck. And if I say for object in and give it a list, donald and fido. I can say, o.quack(), o.walk(), o.bark(), o.fur().
So what we have here is we're calling all four of these functions for both of these objects. We're using them in exactly the same way. We're using them in a way that really does not know or care exactly what type of an object it is. It's simply calling these methods without concern for which type of an object, just assuming that these methods actually exist in there. So we'll save that and we'll run it and we see our result. We have the Duck first. Quaaack! Walks like a duck. The duck cannot bark. The duck has feathers.
And then we have the Dog. And there is all those same methods on the Dog. So if I had say a function, say in_the_ forest, and it expects a dog and it says, dog.bark() and dog.fur(). And let's say I had another one that says in_the_pond and it expects a duck.
And it says duck.quack() and it calls duck.walk(). Now, I can call either of these methods with either of these objects. I can say in_the_forest, and you see the in_the_forest is expecting a dog and I can pass it donald. And as long as donald implements the interface that is being used in this function, it will still work. Save this and run it. It says the duck cannot bark and The duck has feathers.
And likewise, if I call in_the_pond and I pass it fido, save that and run it. The dog cannot quack and it walks like a dog. So this is what polymorphism is. And Python is particularly good at this because the objects in Python don't actually care what the name of the class is. When you use an object, Python is what's called loosely typed or actually they call it duck typing, because the types in Python, everything is an object.
And if it walks like a duck, then you can use it like a duck. That's why they call it duck typing. It's loosely typed. When I declare that this in_the_forest function expects a dog, I'm just naming it dog, but it's an object. I could name it cat and it would still work exactly the same, because that's really just a variable name. That's not a type name at all. That's no kind of a restriction. It's just what I'm calling it here. So I save that and run it. It still works exactly the same.
So a strong advantage of this loosely typed or what they call duck typing is that polymorphism is natural. So I can create a super class that implements all of the things that an animal normally does, and then I can create subclasses from that with just the specific attributes of the type of an animal that I'm interfacing, and then anything that expects any of those interfaces can use it. Because all of those interfaces are guaranteed to be there.
So I know that that's a big concept to wrap your head around, but think of it this way. Any object of any class that implements the interface that's expected by any function can be used by that function. So when I create a function here called in_the_forest and it expects an object that can bark and an object that has fur, or a function that expects an object that can quack and the object that can walk, any object that implements those methods will work in that function regardless of what its type is.
And that is polymorphism and that's how it works in Python.
