Tempurpedic Sued Over VOCs & Memory Foam Safety
Looking for healthier mattress options?
Check out plant-based memory foam from Amerisleep or organic latex beds from Astrabeds, two brands that consistently earn high ratings in reviews and our research.
A class action suit has been filed in California courts alleging that Tempurpedic's memory foam mattresses contain harmful VOCs.
The lead plaintiff in the case, Michael Dodson, claims that Tempurpedic mattresses and pillows release volatile organic compounds which can result in allergic reactions as well as possible long-term complications, and that the company is aware of issues. They believe the company has minimized the problem when advertising their products by stating that the odors will dissipate and that products are VOC-free, when formaldehyde and other odors may continue to be released for months.
Tempurpedic and VOCs
The class lawsuit brought against Tempur-pedic is represented by attorney Allen Stewart of Dallas, Texas, and seeks many forms of recourse including an injunction, constructive trust, and restitution. It claims that Tempurpedic violated business laws within the State of California, where the suit was filed.
One of the primary reasons for the suit states that Tempurpedic not only downplayed VOCs in their memory foam mattresses and pillows but also refers to the fact that they failed to warn customers of a potential link between reactions and allergies with previous customers and their products.
Another key issue brought by the plaintiff is that Tempurpedic and their distributor network informs customers that the odors emitted from their memory foam should only last a few days and is harmless. The class action suit claims that the company has been aware of problems reported by some consumers like allergic reactions attributed to the odors or side effects like headaches since at least 2007, and has failed to notify consumers of these potential problems.
Their other claim is that Tempurpedic's mattresses emit formaldehyde, a strong VOC and known carcinogen, even though they claim their products are 'allergen-resistant' (though this claim likely refers to dust mites rather than chemical sensitivities). The claim on the attorney's website states that formaldehyde has been identified in laboratory testing of Tempurpedic products.
Tempurpedic's Reaction
Tempurpedic has not officially released a public response yet, but the lawsuit (or perhaps recent FTC actions) already appears to have had some effect on marketing, as the company's website removed a page in the last few months which had the claims mentioned in the lawsuit ("free of harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) such as formaldehyde and CFC (chlorofluorocarbon)—harsh chemicals that can trigger allergies and asthma."), and now makes no official mention of the issue. They had also removed all reviews from their website for several months (since July 2013), though many appear to have been restored in the last few weeks.
What are VOCs?
VOC stands for volatile organic compounds which can be released from products created from unstable organic chemicals or compounds, often referring to petroleum or byproducts thereof, including the polyurethane and adhesives used in traditional memory foam. More than 60 compounds have been identified which can cause allergic reactions and other health concerns, with 18 of those requiring a warning label. Formaldehyde is just one of the well-known VOCs, and its concentration is easier to measure than many of the others.
According to the EPA website http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html, VOCs are commonly found in paint, organic solvents, furniture, foams and degreasing agents among other commonly used products. The concentration is often higher indoors, and can lead to many health effects, including lung irritation, nerve damage, kidney damage, endocrine disruption and several are also considered to be potential carcinogens.
What's The Deal with VOCs and Mattresses?
Although Tempur-pedic is currently being sued over VOCs, they are not the only company to run afoul of problems related to the release of volatile organic compounds and advertising claims. EcoBaby Organics Inc., Essentia Natural Memory Foam Company Inc., and Relief-Mart Inc. were recently asked by the FTC to stop advertising that their products are VOC-free until proven to be so. Other companies including Target, Wal-Mart and Babies R Us were also sued earlier this year in California due to undisclosed Tris fire retardants in baby mattresses.
As the organic and natural movements continue gaining popularity and awareness, more and more consumers are becoming concerned about toxic or potentially harmful products. VOCs have been a primary target in the U.S. and Europe, since several of them have the potential to interfere with endocrine systems, hormones, and other bodily functions. Furniture items are of particular concern since their outgassing can affect indoor air quality, and since people are in close proximity to their mattresses for several hours each day.
Are Tempurpedic and Other Memory Foam Mattresses Safe?
Memory foam mattresses have taken the bedding industry by storm and continue growing in sales, yet these recent actions have many consumers wondering whether it is safe to go to bed at night. The answer is complex, primarily depending on the type of memory foam mattress you own or choose to buy, as well as your personal sensitivity. Manufacturers are also not required to disclose ingredients at this time, and chemical claims are largely on honor system until challenged.
According to SleepLikeTheDead, a consumer review analysis website, nearly 18% of Tempur-pedic owners have complained of issues with off-gassing and odors. This does represent a higher percentage than memory foam mattresses as a whole, which usually average closer to 15%, and is significantly higher than some other brands of which reviewers may complain of odor in as few as 3-5% of reviews. (For more information, check out Memory Foam Mattress Guide's helpful comparison article on memory foam and offgassing.)
Here are a few key points to consider if you are concerned about memory foam safety:
Traditional memory foam – This is the original petroleum-based memory foam, typically most associated with the release of VOCs. About 15% of owners complain of strong odor.
Plant-based memory foam – This type of material replaces a portion of the petroleum-based ingredients with plant-based ingredients, reducing synthetic chemicals and typically resulting in less odorous products. About 3-8% of owners complain of odors.
Density – Higher density beds have more polyurethane polymer and thus greater propensity to off-gas than low density foams.
Adhesives – Some of the harshest VOCs can be found in the adhesives used to assemble the memory foam beds. Water-based and green options exist, and may help reduce VOC levels in end products.
Flame Retardants – Flame retardant chemicals like PBDEs and Tris can outgas and cause reactions or negative side effects. Non-chemical fabric barriers (usually made of silica and other fibers) may be ideal for preserving safety without adding more chemicals.
Manufacturing Process – Most foam manufacturers use types of blowing agents to develop foam structures, which can contribute to chemicals in end products and pollution. A small number use vacuum systems (variable pressure foaming) to create their foams which reduce the chemical profiles.
According to SleepLikeTheDead, only about 1.5% of memory foam mattress owners experience side effects related to odor that are significant enough to cause them to return their mattress.
Although almost every manufactured product, even spring mattresses, will release a new odor, knowing what the odor actually consists of can be important for peace of mind and health. Thoroughly research products before buying, and check reviews to see if a significant proportion of people mention side effects. Look for recognized industry safety certifications, and ensure that the retailer can answer your questions about foams, fire retardants and adhesives. When you do choose a new mattress, allow it air out in a separate room or garage for a few days if you are sensitive to smells just to be sure, or even consider buying a pillow from the brand first to test your reaction. But, know that only a very small percentage of people will experience significant side effects, while memory foam as whole remains the highest-rated mattress category for overall satisfaction.
While only time will tell how Tempurpedic fairs in their latest lawsuit, the trends toward safer consumer products and greater transparency are clear. Consumers increasingly want to know what is in the products they buy and how it might affect their families and the environment, which is one of the trends we mentioned in our recent article on the Future of the Memory Foam Mattress Industry. However, for major mattress brands like Tempurpedic, Sealy, Simmons and Serta, this represents a significant shift in their business models that may prove difficult as product secrecy, exclusivity and limited consumer information have been the modus operandi for decades.

After reading the articles here and experiencing similar problems for 3 years, shoulder pain, tenitis, headaches, and back pain. I had bought the cloud supreme 3 years ago.
It's in the guest room now, but maybe it needs to be removed from the house, I called temperpedic and they told me that nothing can be done about it. No refund,
I had my tempurpedic mattress for 5 years, when I started breaking out in a rash, and itching, on my chest, arms and legs. That was Aug., 2015. I changed to organic creams, soaps, had food allergy tests done, but the itching and the rash continued. In May, 2016, I was out of town for 3 weeks, and noticed after 11 days the rash and itching completely cleared up. 2 days after returning home, and sleeping on my tempurpedic mattress and pillows, the rash and itching started up again. I have been sleeping in my guest bedroom on a regular mattress, and again the rash and itching is going away.
I have read so many articles about people having problems with memory foam mattresses, and Tempurpedic seems to be the worst. Given the obstructions industries put up to deny that their products cause health issues, I'm not surprised that memory foam mattress makers continue to make these un healthy products. It will probably take years for the lawsuit to go through the courts, just like with cigarette manufacturers, the plastics industry, the flame retardant industry, etc. In the meantime, many people will continue to suffer symptoms that Drs. cannot identify, but obviously seem caused by memory foam.
I am getting rid of my mattress and planning to go organic.
After purchasing a tempuprdic mattress a couple of years ago I had my first ever asthma attacks. I blamed them on outdoor pollutants coming into my room and closed door as tight as possible, but continued to have respiratory problems and fatigue, and vision changes. After reading reoports about these mattresses I opened every door I could and got a HEPA air purifier that was supposed to have VOC filter, but it didn't actually have VOC filter. I'm quite concerned about long-term effects of the mattress VOC content on my health
I purchased a tempurpedic mattress for my queen size adjustable frame and had my first ever asthma attack. I didn't associate the illness with the mattress for almost 2years. I spent a lot of money on that mattress and I've just begun to experiment with putting several layers of blankets on it in hopes that will stop the chemicals from affecting me so much. Will this help?
We bought tempur mattress. Smell is unbearable. My wife is pregnant and we did not know about the off gassing, VOCs etc. We are scared now. We were not advised about this when we bought it. Do you know how dangerous is it for pregnant woman?
My Boyfriend and I purchased a Tempurpedic Mattress last November and for 10 months felt weak, dizziness, breathing difficulties, achy joints and muscles, headaches, etc. I have been back and forth to doctors, had an MRI and nothing showed up. I started eliminating things in the house that could cause this and after researching about the mattress I found that many others have experienced the same symptoms as we have from the chemicals in the mattress!!!! This is unbelievable!! I contacted the company 800-753-1130 and they opened a case and had someone call me back. They are making us signed an agreement that we can never sue them and they will pick up the mattress and give a full refund with no questions asked. They must have many complaints to ask no questions! I'm afraid to sign the agreement because God forbid we get a serious illness down the road from this. I'm told even if you join a class action suit you really don't make out with that much in return. This is unreal that they know the problems consumers are having but yet still selling the product! It's a Crime!
My boyfriend is a diesel mechanic. He works all day around chemicals and the smells don't bother him. He has sleep apnea pretty bad, so a good friend of ours bought us a new mattress and adjustable frame. A Cloud Supreme. We love it. We were told by an ex employee of mattress firm that we should walk all over it to break the membrane in the material and that will speed up and get through the beginning off gassing period. So we did that last night. We haven't noticed ANY smell at all from the mattress, and we sleep great… but this is day 2 and both days he's woken up with a headache. I figure well go two weeks and see if his headaches persist.what bed would you recommend to match the softness of a cloud supreme? We have a split side adjustable bed.
We have had Tempur-pedic for about 10 years with no problem except that it gets warm spots from body heat. We recently bought a new one and have noticed no odor.
I have read that a new Tempur-pedic mattress should be aired out for 48 hours prior to using it. We didn't do that either time but still have seen no problem.
Years ago when it was learned that particle board furniture had formaldehyde, people were advised to put plants in their rooms, because the plants remove formaldehyde fumes from the air. Don't know if that is true, however, might be worth researching for people who are sensitive to their mattresses that contain formaldehyde. If I had known my mattress had formaldehyde, I never would have bought it. But you never know what you are getting these days – could be other mattresses have other problems.
I just found this website with comments on Tempur-Pedic mattresses. I just purchased one a few weeks ago and have had many strange physical symptoms that have sent me to the doc. I'm not sure if the class action lawsuit has been settled, but I feel sure that I'm having allergic reactions to the chemicals in the mattress and frame. I plan to return the bed since there's a 100 night guarantee. Thank you for any updates you may have on this situation.
For the past 3 years I've been having headaches every spring through summer. Come to find out voc's off-gas from things when temperature is higher and humidity is higher as well.
I don't have a tempur-pedic, but I realized the other week that this all started around when I got a centi-pur memory foam mattress.
After reading for several weeks about all the things that have voc's, that could be preventable, this crap needs to stop.
I found it really funny that I found infant beds are voc-free and free of other chemicals. Like, who the heck thinks of this crap, or better yet, who doesn't think of this crap? I can't believe that people are accepting these things as being ok.
I just hope my body doesn't have internal damage to organs now. I mean really, money isn't going to make me feel better, I'll probably die early anyways, all because of a mattress and some lack of political regulation?!!!!
Have suffered with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia for 7 years. Recently went on vacation 2 separate times and felt better both times, felt worse after returning home both times. After reading your website believe my Tempurpedic mattress purchased approximately 5 years ago may be a big part of my fatigue and pain. I will pursue being added to the class action suit and or refund.
I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia since sleeiping on a gel infused memory foam bed for at least 5 years made by Serta which was bought from Sam's Club. I finally went to a gastroenterologist and found out I also have an overgrowth of bacteria in my small intestines due to candida overgrowth. After much research, it appears this is due to liver damage. I believe this bed off gases formaldehyde and other toxins every day, and my liver is exhausted from trying to rid me of these toxins. i have extreme hot flashes which is my liver trying to detox. The worst part is I also bought two more of these mattreses, one for my guest room and one for my only child and his wife. Please God tell me our bodies can regenerate. I foresee this being a massive lawsuit like asbestos cases. I am going to see my attorney friends because these companies must be stopped from killing us.
My husband and I purchased a tempurpedic mattress a couple of months ago and we were never warned about the toxic off-gassing or smell. When we first unwrapped the mattress the scent of chemicals was overwhelming so we let it air out in our guest room for a few weeks before bringing it downstairs to our room. The first time I attempted to sleep on it I gave up and had to leave the room after a very short time because I had a headache and my throat felt irritated. I didn't attempt to sleep on it again for a couple more weeks when the smell seemed to have dissipated a bit. Well, the next day I had a horrible headache, bloody nose, body aches, irritated lungs and throat and dizziness. I thought I wasn't coming down with something but now I know it's the mattress. I have been sleeping on the recliner and anytime I spend more than 5 minutes in our bedroom my symptoms start to return. I am beyond upset about this and am praying to God that my baby hasn't been harmed in any way -I'm 28 weeks pregnant. I am planning on returning the mattress even though I'm going to lose hundreds in fees. I'm also now stuck with a very expensive adjustable base that isn't compatible with other mattresses.
Hi Staphanie Gordon, I just read your post and the same thing happened to me! I went on a business trip for two weeks and I realized that my health issues were caused by my mattress. I have terrible headaches and nerve pain throughout my body. I feel as if my health is deteriorating by the minute. I have been a zombie like you since I can't fall asleep right away and when I do, I wake up right away because of the tingling and burning sensation as my body sinks into the bottom, flat surface of the mattress. Unlike you, I do smell the odor and it has been almost 10 months!
Thank you so much for making this page available to the consumer. I purchased a Tempurpedic Mattress last September of 2014; Ever since, I have had many health issues and I have come to the conclusion that I am sensitive to the VOC exposure. I have always taken really good care of my health by being a super healthy eater and a runner. I never had any health issues and always had really good stamina and energy. Now, on a daily basis, I have insomnia, headaches, body aches, allergies (irritated eyes, flu like symptoms) and an injured shoulder as a result of my body sinking in the extra soft and flat surface. I wake up in pain almost every day. Due to the symptoms I am having, I had blood work done because I thought I had anemia since I don't eat red meat. I was surprised when my doctor said I was not anemic. It makes so much sense that I feel the way I do since if I'm inhaling all these toxic compounds. I'm in the process of negotiating an exchange for my mattress but due to comfort issues since the place where I bough it from sent me the wrong one the first time. Since I eventually ended up exchanging it, I can no longer exchange it one more time since "I used up the chance" to do so a second time." The mattress I tried at the store's show room feels nothing like the one they delivered to me. I am negotiating with the store to see if they can exchange it but I have not had a response from the store manager. As I'm writing this, I have a headache and have major allergy symptoms. As of last night, I am sleeping on my carpet next to the $7,800.00 king size mattress and foundation I purchased that is only making me sick. My question to you is how do we add ourselves to that class action law suit? Or how do I even ask for a refund based on all these health related issues that only I as a consumer know that came about right after I purchased this mattress. Thank you for reading this long post.
dido to all the aforementioned have had our temperpidic since 07 paid almost 6k and have had all manner of pain and breathing related problems now I know why , as per others here I sleep and begin to feel much better when I sleep away from my temper, Oo and the valleys!! I think we got like a 20year warantee but when I recently called Sleepys where we purchased they gave me the biz big time laughing all the way to the bank those rats are, this could be one of the greatest scams ever on the American consumer, think about how many people have their kids on these things with the crazy high rates of breathing problems amoung young people as of late that is truly scary aside from the problems regarding circulation and back trouble and gasses holy crap I'll be joining the class action suit today, perhaps sites like this can stop stone walling and perhaps out rite lies beening told by smiling commistioned sale's peps best of luck to all
I bought a Tempurpedic classic 8 years ago.But only have been sleeping on it 5 years. My Husband had Kidney problems 18% working and has passed away from Cancer He slept on it for 5 years.I had extreme dizziness but not any now that I sleep on the couch I don't know what to do as I paid 2700.00 for it but how can I sell it. thinking what I am thinking
We have a mold problem with our mattress. During our Spring Cleaning we removed all the blankets, etc. and in tipping up the mattress we saw body shaped patches of mold. I immediately called Tempur-Pedic and they said mold was not a factory defect, nor a common problem. They were, however, as a one time courtesy, willing to replace my mattress, but I would have to buy their wood mattress foundation and I could never make a future claim against them. Our mattress is on a chest bed with a solid wood top, not slats or box springs. In speaking to customer service I asked what their foundations were made of…wood, covered with polyester. What???!!! They want me to buy a wood foundation to place on my wood mattress pad! Then of course there is the part where they want to record your affirmative to not pursuing any further claims on our 25 year mattress.
This smacks of unethical business practices! I have Googled mold and Tempur-Pedic and come up with tons of such stories. Further there have been a lot of complaints about the newer mattresses breaking down and valleys developing. My mattress is less than three years old. I don't want out-gassing and premature breakdown of the bed. I just want a safe bed with a warranty that I can trust.
Has anyone been able to get a refund or help from them that doesn't include buying something and voiding out 22 years of our warranty?
Thank you for you help.
I was interested in purchasing a good mattress and enjoying longer rest periods. I purchased a tempur-pedic mattress and the pillows were free in 2011. Immediately, I began experiencing ringing in my ears from the close contact with the pillows, stiffness and weakness in my body, and a feeling of being confined to the bed. I did not know what was happening to me. I was conferencing with my doctor about the new body signs. I never mentioned the new mattress. He did not know what to tell me and we were wondering what was happening to me. I would have never guessed that it was my new $4,000.00 mattress. About three months later, I went out to eat one afternoon and decided to go on line while waiting for lunch. I was still excited about my mattress and wanted to compare it to the cost of others. This is when I discovered the negative comments of others who had purchased the mattress. I felt like my money had been snatched right out of my purse. I read more and more comments and had no desire to eat lunch. I had to make another appointment with my doctor.
What are your recommendations for me to follow? Are they waiting for someone to die before they take action.
In my opinion, enough customers have complained.
We bought a Serta iCloud (memory foam) Aura from Sears in January and I haven't had a good night's sleep since. While I never smelled any odor, I have been constantly lethargic no matter how many hours I sleep, unable to fall asleep for a long time and difficulty waking up, knee pain and terrible headaches. I was just out of town for a week and NO problems! I know it is the mattress. The store policy is 120 days for return and when I called today they said it has been 121 days and unlikely they will return. Seriously?? I am not a litigious person, but feel like seriously suing…for a full refund and damages. I have been a zombie for four months and was NEVER warned of any potential risk. How can they not warn people that these problems can possible arise?? It's like warning labels on cigarettes…this industry NEEDS to be accountable for people's health. What will it take?? It didn't occur to me that it could be the bed. Had I known of potential side effects, I would have immediately returned it. I will take it as far as i need to to get my money back…and they're lucky if I don't take it further than that. Reading all of these comments, I can't believe how much some people have suffered. Maybe we should all file a suite on this corrupt industry.
We purchased a tempurpedic mattress two years ago & I have been ill ever since. Chronic inflamed irritated throat & nosebleeds. All blood work tests negative & no diagnosis by several physicians. I am convinced it's the VOCs/formaldehyde in our mattress. Also wondering if it's safe to keep now that the major off gassing should be complete? Also getting a new mattress of any kind means more initial off gassing so not sure what to do about our mattress situation. How do we proceed with a lawsuit or did anything ever come of the class action suit?
We have recently moved and leased a house for a year. This is our second month in the house. The bed in the main bedroom is a tempurpedic. I do not know how old it is. I have not been feeling well since I started sleeping in it. One thing is that I experienced shoulder pain on the left side of my body. Even the left side of my face felt numb. But the bigger thing is that I have had a perpetual cough. I got rid of the duvet, thinking I might have be having an allergic reaction to down. I had that happen once. Then I got rid of the Tempurpedic pillows. I kept sneezing and coughing and developed an ongoing sore throat. When I left the house and slept somewhere else, I noticed I felt better. In the last two to three weeks, the coughing reached a crezendo that resulted in aggravated bronchitis. At 3 am two nights ago I ended up in the emergency room with an unremitting wheezing spongy cough that had become intolerable. I was really sick! My back and muscles and stomach muscles ached from coughing. I was shaking, trembling with every cough. =The ER doctor at first thought I had pneumonia but after viewing my x-ray, he decided it was an aggravated bronchitis. I sat under a mask inhaling an Albuteral mist for an hour. He gave me a Zpack (antibiotic), an Rx cough medicine, a pain killer, and a portable Albuteral mister. I came home without reason… I just recoiled at going back into that room, into that bed. I went to the guest bedroom and took my Tylenol. In two days my coughing abated so much that I did not need any more of the meds I had been given.((I did have to finish the Z pack.) I didn't know why but I still couldn't make myself go back to into that bedroom. Then I had the thought. Maybe it could be the bed. I looked up Tempurpedic and allergies and up popped your articles. I know it's the bed, I know it. I'm in the other room typing this and I am okay. In there I feel the reaction in my nose, throat and then in my lungs, That bed is attacking my lungs! The mattress is so thick and heavy. I could never move it! Does anyone know if there is a zippercase mattress cover that could block these VOC's?? I am feeling so much better in the guest bedroom!
I had the same issues (bronchitis, etc) within two months of buying a Tempur-Pedic Elite. I've never had lung issues like that before, not even a cold in 5 years. Now I'm developing severe, new allergies even after buying a sophisticated air filter for the bedroom. I bought an air mattress at Target and get a much better night's sleep on it.
Healthy Back store management changed their minds the day after I said I wanted to return it and said I couldn't. I'll be going to BBB, and other consumer agencies before pursuing local court action.
If this is as bad as it seems to be, then the lawyers who are leading this charge should open the lawsuit up nationwide – bet there would be a whole slew of tempurpedic owners who would gladly jump on board for failure to disclose key material facts about the safety of their product, and falsely advertising it as safe. As it Consumer fraud!
We got a Tempurpedic (our second one after 10 years). Haven't been sick in 3 years. 3 days after sleeping on the new one I got a allergic respiratory reaction followed by some flu like symptoms.
Its likely going back to the store and if they don't want to refund we'll just stop payment on it.
This article is from 12/2013. Would like to know what happened with the case.
How can I sign up for the class action suit?
I've had mine for about 2.5 years and went to their website to a question answer page. My first question was asking what they would recommend that might be new for someone with a very bad back and they promptly answered and posted my comment. The second post which was a reply to their comment was regarding the mattress it's self not holding up and having deep impressions on each side was not published and in an email they said it didn't meet company guidelines. I call that selective positioning and censorship. Now I'm finding out that the flu symptoms I have way to often could be a result of the materials used in the memory foam. This is unconscionable and the public can't comment on their site without approval or on their fb page. I am not happy! Suggestions?
Also wondering if the lawsuit has proceeded and how to get in on it. I purchased a mattress a year and a half ago before I knew any better and we're still paying it off!
I have had my Tempurpedic cloud Luxe Breeze for just over 2 months and I haven't had one decent nights sleep since I got it. I have actually had MORE pain since sleeping on it than I have ever had. I never experienced back pain until sleeping on this bed. Yet when I spoke to the salesman about it, after having it for a month, he said I needed to give it more time to break In. I have also been waking up with headaches very frequently. And I am now having to take medicine for insomnia because I wake up 2 or 3 times each night. I never would have considered that it might be the mattress causing all these issues until I researched reviews on it. I am very disappointed in this because I have heard so many great things about Tempurpedic mattresses. I was expecting to be one of those people that couldn't wait to go to bed because it was so comfortable. I DREAD going to bed because it's miserable. Luckily for me my sleep trial hasn't ended. So I will definitely be returning this mattress for one that won't ruin my "sleep" life.
My husband and I have had a tempurpedic mattress for about 5 years now. He began to have a lot of shoulder pain. He has been receiving shots to relieve the pain in both shoulders. For the past 6 months, I have had extreme shoulder pain, one shoulder is frozen; so I began to sleep on the other shoulder, now I have pain in both. We never had these issues before. I am so upset, that I am seriously thinking about suing the company. Anybody else having these kind of problems with their mattress?
I read with great interest in your 12-13-13 article. Has the class action lawsuit finally gone to court? If yes was there a decision? I recently purchased a Tempurpedic mattress and I am experiencing breathing and/or lung problems. They go away when I leave my apartment for a few hours. I have tried to air out the mattress by opening the windows most of the day for 5 days(it's winter here), but the oder/fumes don't seem to dissipate very much. I wish I would have read these warnings before buying. Now I have to deal with the retailer and probably have to incur the additional cost of an attorney. All of that just for trying to buy a new bed. Caveat emptor!
I had no idea how toxic the off gassing of the Tempurpedic was, we have had the bed for 25 days and it still stinks. I now have stomach cramps, headaches, rash, metal taste in my mouth and a very lethargic feeling. Now I am fighting tempurpedic and sit n sleep to return it. A 100% latex mattress seems to be the best option if you want to avoid harmful chemicals. As a cancer survivor I say Shame on Tempurpedic for continuing to sell this cancer causing mattress!!!!!
My wife and I are going to get a tempur pedic mattress today!! What should we do? I am sensitive to out-gassing (headaches, nausea). Is tempurpedic really that bad or is this the 1.5 percent who have hyper reactions to the outgassing. I have not been able to find any studies regarding the VOC exposure of this product. Anything scientific out there or is this subjective?
Lester, I have been researching the Chemicals that are in the Tempur. Benzene's and Formaldehydes are used, in several different formulations. I want you to think really hard about what you are deciding to place in a confined space such as your bedroom where you will be spending 1/3 of your life in. Petroleum and other chemicals are the major components in their formulation and then add the FR chemicals- It seems to me that this is just a molitie cocktail for disease, and cancer. * I also want to make it CLEAR to everyone reading this… THE GOVERNMENT does not regulate chemicals UNTIL they are found or PROVEN to be Hazardous. Before the EPA can require companies to test their chemicals, it must prove they pose unreasonable risks and could expose the public in large amounts. The Government Accountability Office calls this the "burden of proof" rule
Am I able to get a list of materials and/or chemicals used to make the Tempurpedic Cloud Luxe mattress? I would like try and determine, through a local allergist, if I am in fact allergic to any of the materials, chemicals, or gasses/vapors given off by the mattress. I too have been experiencing chronic hive-like symptoms, including burning sensations and itching, etc. over the last 5 months. Thanks in advance for your information.
Jim Wyland
I believe the formaldehyde that is released by memory foam mattresses can cause allergies.
I am so angry at all the symptoms I have since I have my foam mattress. I've had two kidney infections and have never had any kind of problem like this. One kidney is often throbbing and I have to use a remedy – fortunately I know a natural one.
My skin is full of pimples mostly on my back, but arms too and neck and face to some degree
I have a rash on my neck.
I am a health nut and have done detox and my work is physical fitness and detox.
When I went away a few months ago all my symptoms cleared up in a few days..
I paid around 1000. for my mattress
I will sue.
I have some other symptoms too like palpitations and dizziness and sometimes waking up with a sore throat
I've been getting sick for the last two and a half years (about the time I started sleeping on our tempupedic) and couldn't figure out why. I just had blood work done. My doctor said I had the liver of someone who drinks half a bottle of whiskey every day and I rarely drink. When I do it's not whiskey, usually a glass of wine, but only about once a month. He asked if I had been around high concentrations of chemicals. I mentioned the tempurpedic, his eyes got wide and told me this could very well be causing my liver issues. It's really upsetting to know the high priced bed we bought might be causing me serious illness! How does one join this class action lawsuit?
i am just wondering if this has gone to trial and what the outcome is? we have a tempur mattress so i am quite interested in this as i have never noticed an odour from it at all?
I have been very sick during the past six months with extreme dizziness, headaches and nerve issues. After visiting specialists and not knowing what was causing my problem i happen to stay at a hotel and sleep in a different bed. I then noticed i felt a lot better. Since then, I realized my memory foam pillow must be the problem. After researching I have come across all this info which is new to me. What should my next step be? Should i contact a lawyer? How can i test if the pillow is the problem?
I have a temperpedic bed for several years. Do they continually off gas?
I have some health issues regarding my tempur pedic bed which I bought in Jan 2012. They are offering me a refund less some deductions for use and shipping fee but they want me to waive all my claims in the future against the compamy Should I sign the documents or could I be included in the class action suit.

time for another jango helmet paint up! and once again i am terrible at taking progress pictures, hooray!!! but here's where the bucket is at right now, as of 5:15 a.m. 11-12-11.
right now it's been sanded up to 1000, painted, and polished. my next step is to put the mesh in the back, and begin work on the ear cap and rf topper. with any luck i'll be awake in time to get to the welding shop to pick up a visor before they close, but if i don't make it tomorrow i'll go on monday. either way the plan is to clean the flash off the ear and rf, sand them smooth, and get them primered and ready for painting on sunday.

Oysho launches gym collection
Oysho, the lingerie and homewear brand at The Point, Tigné, has launched a new line called The Gym Collection.
The range features an innovative and unusual combination of fashion and sportwear consisting of a wide range of practical, yet design-focused pieces – the perfect match between technology and on-trend fashion.
The Gym Collection is the result of a close collaboration between Oysho and leading sports brand Adidas and will include retro-style Olympic swimsuits, light shorts, practical wind breakers and tiny tops offering maximum support without foregoing style.
The range of styles covers sports as varied in their demands as jogging, yoga, swimming and gym work.
The palette is dominated by neutral colours: all shades of greys – slate, ash and taupe, subtle golden tones and some colour blocking.
The fabrics used are mainly polyamide, nylon and cotton, designed to provide maximum comfort and moisture management, allowing for a full range of movement. Some of the outerwear is also waterproof for extra comfort.
The range also features the Adidas for Oysho trainers collection which brings back the heritage style of the sports brand in four model colours, namely white, black, grey and yellow.

Update on Homicide Case - Gregory Allen Ross, 19 yrs old.
The location the victim was shot at, 833 N. Florence Avenue is what is commonly called a "Trap House" (Term used to define a crack house, or the surroundings in which a drug dealer would use to make their profit).
Items of evidentiary value were located in the house which would indicate drug activity. No other details will be discussed on items located inside the house.
On 2/28/14 at 11:23 p.m., the Lakeland Police Department responded to the Lakeland Regional Medical Center (LRMC) in reference to Ross being shot in the right thigh. Ross stated that while walking west on 13th Street near Kettles Avenue, he heard what sounded like "firecrackers" and then realized he had been shot. Ross walked to LRMC at this time. Ross stated he saw no vehicle or person that could have caused this injury. Officers discovered dark marks near his wound that were consistent with stippling (Shots fired from close range leaving marks are discolorations of the skin caused by burning gunpowder) indicating the injury was self-inflicted or by an "unknown" person up close. Ross gave several conflicting statements to responding officers at LRMC.
Detectives are still working the case, attending the autopsy today and following up on leads. Anyone with additional information on this case should call Det. Hurley at 863-834-8973.

Slight changes this evening the Colt trigger was uber sloppy up and do so i fitted a spare 3 hole my solid is for another project
Also replaced the mag Catch as it felt notchy

The Service Control Manager will generate an event if a service does not respond within the defined timeout period (the default timeout period is 30000 milliseconds). To resolve this problem, use the Registry Editor to change the default timeout value for all services.
does this work on x64 also?
i tried adding this to the registry a couple of weeks ago and still had a 7011 error?
also found this while looking
it comes up when searching for the ERROR 7011, but does not seem to reference it directly. the laptop with win7 home premium was built by dell and other than windows updates havent done anything fancy. no external devices connected (e.g. large hard drive), there is a simple logitech usb mouse, whatever driver that win7 installed by default. i will try it without the mouse to see if it helps any.
any ideas?

There aren't enough techno-organ songs like this. Amazing job! I know it's for a boss fight, but it plays great as a stand-alone song.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This would be perfect for some kind of boss battle or if it wasn't so upbeat it could be the song you hear at the end during the credits.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
My feelings about that particular song changed for every part of the song. I even made up a story, since this song is too awesome for me to not do it. Really.
0:00 A powerful, evil being is close. It will destroy everything beautiful in this world. No power can defeat it.
0:28 The dark being is preparing to make its final blow. It's approaching... Everyone fears it...
0:55 But... But... there's hope. A really unexpected hope. Maybe... maybe it is possible to stop it after all!
1:09 This is our last chance. I barely stand a chance, but I must try. It's the last chance to save everything I love!
1:23 The darkness is coming. The fight is inevitable. I will defeat it, or else die, trying.
1:37 I'm not afraid anymore. I'm prepared. I will not flee. I have to defeat you. I have the feeling of being able to accomplish anything I want.
1:50 Die. Die, evil, or else I will. One of us will die today. One of us has to die.
1:57 It's close. The battle is ending. I'm great. I'm powerful. I'm invincible. You stand no chance against me, whoever you might be.
2:18 It was nearly impossible, I stood no chance, but I won anyway. My soul may finally rest at peace.
Hope you enjoyed reading this little story.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
umm,I don't hear the organs or the violins,The awesomeness must have taken over or is it just me?

i cannot begin to explain how good this is... all i can say is... I CAME <3

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
I recently decided to sign back up to Jeff Walker's email list (the guy behind Product Launch Formula). He was originally a "victim" when I culled nearly all the subscriptions I had to Internet marketer's email lists a few months back, but since I am about to finally do my own product launch I figured it was about time to learn from the best.
Jeff's methods are behind the launches of pretty much every big launch that has occurred in the last year or so, including StomperNet, Pipeline Profits, Mike Filsaime's Butterfly Marketing launch early last year, everything Rich Schefren has done with Strategic Profits (Jeff consults personally with Rich and was at the seminar I attended) and pretty much any large scale Internet marketing launch you may have been exposed to.
Bear in mind though, that's just where it's been applied to in the Internet marketing world, which is perhaps the worst place to apply it, since it's the market that has seen the most launches. Recent success stories are coming out of non-Internet marketing industries and that's where I believe it is ripe for leveraging, I just wish I knew something outside of Internet marketing – hmm, maybe an editing and proofreading product launch – maybe not!
If you intend on launching something online, Jeff's Product Launch Formula is the standard, but you get some good info just from the free list too, which you can subscribe to here –
I've just bought the full product, so I should have a review in a few month's time once I get through it. It's been a big month for investing in Internet marketing education and travel so far, I think I have now drained my Paypal balance well and truly.
The email list is the key component behind most product launches and it acts as the main communication medium between the expert or company, and the prospects. This is an area you want to minimize mistakes.
Jeff offered the following three rules, which while they may seem very basic, are so critical –
Can you say you do all three steps above with each and every email you broadcast to your list? How about each and every blog post you write?
I know I don't, but I should. If you want to demonstrate you're on top of things and avoid having to adjust for errors after the fact when you have already published or sent your copy, then you need to set up rules like this and follow them each and every time, or have someone else do it for you (my plan eventually – I just want to write and have someone else test for errors).
Simple advice, but simple is always best. Thanks Jeff.
Sorry to say this but after experiencing the flood of emails from all his clients listed above.. I'm not a fan of Jeff's work. Fine, they have a product, but the deluge was such a waste of my time I don't think I'll ever consider buying a product from anything Schefren-related.
What stupidly simple advice…and I had to learn it several times the hard way 😉 Particularly #3. I can't tell you how many times I've made an "insignificant" change, decided it wasn't necessary to test everything again, and then watched as it blew up in my face.
Those rules seem so basic, but I know that most of us ignore them on a regular basis until we've learned our lesson.
Hi Mat,
I know what you mean – when something works as well as product launch formula everyone is going to use it, but if you are not really interested in the offers coming from these people then it's almost as bad as spam.
My advice, you probably did this already, would be to unsubscribe from any lists you are not interested in the topics presented, unless you still you might have hope for the future from that person.
In term's of Schefren's stuff – I watch/read about 20% of what goes out during his launch – the main video usually, but not the case studies. I'm truly interested in the offer Rich presents to the market, so I won't subscribe, but I'm also already giving him my money so I don't need to see every case study video he pumps out.
It all depends on your wants.
Thanks Yaro, just in time for me as I'm looking to launch a newsletter feature soon, are you using Feedburner or Zookoda for your own?
Hi Allen – I've used AWeber for both my email lists and my feed email subscription service.
AWeber isn't free though, but it's the leading autoresponder for the small business folk serious about email delivery.
Yeah, it is good advice. So good, in fact, that Jeff forgot to follow it last week or the week before and wound up having it bite him!
I haven't purchased PLF yet, but once I have something to sell I plan on making the investment. As for the internet marking newsletters, they have mostly become worthless to me since they are pitch after pitch after pitch these days.
Thanks for your kind words…
I learned those three rules through hard won experience… after I screwed up one too many times I put those simple rules in place and I follow them religiously.
One other thing… and I think I covered this in the post that you quoted those rules from – even if you follow these rules you will probably still find some way to mess up every now and then. At least I sure do.
Blaine alluded to that, when I sent out a bad URL a week or so ago. But Blaine is not accurate here – I actually DID follow my rules, and I tested my email and tested the links.
Unfortunately, I was using a new browser that was "smarter" than my old browser… and it actually "fixed" my bad URL. That meant when I clicked on the bad link in my test email, the bad URL worked and clicked through just fine.
(The problem was that I had three slashes after http:… a typical silly mistake.)
I have now taken to mailing my test email to a browser-based email account (such as gmail or yahoo mail) – at this point those browser-based email programs will not "fix" bad URLs.
In any case, thanks again Yaro – and I look forward to getting your feedback on Product Launch Formula.
best regards,
Good luck with the launch Yaro!
I've actually just started adding newsletters to my blogs in my blog network and I've had a few random people signup.
I'm working on building readership for possible future product launches and find these tips you spit at us all invaluable. I may also have to break down and start reading what this perry has to say.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for dropping by, it's always good to see the authors of these products leave comments – good you are keeping watch on the "conversation" going on about your business.
I wish I could be with you at the underground seminar, I'll just have to settle for some time with Mike F in Melbourne.
You coming down under any time soon?
Erik – Good stuff! Start early and in a year or two you will have a nice sized list AND blog readership, effectively two assets for the price of…well…1.5 since you do have to write the newsletters too.
Hi Yaro,
It's so true. The simple things tend to be the ones that can make you or break you. Having learned from painful and costly past experiences, I do tend to do these three things all the time – or I ask my awesome wife, yeah babe, if you're reading this, you are awesome :-), to do it for me.
And thankfully, she does help, most of the time.
A couple of other things that you might consider doing before you send out your email are:
Use the spam checker on your autoresponder, so your emails actually get delivered and not sent to the spam folders of many of your subscribers.
Also, you should watch out for certain words you put in your subject line or the body of your email that could label your message as spam.
Words like "FREE" and too many exclamation points can get your message dumped in the spam folder before your prospects/customers every get to see them.
Again, simple things. But they can absolutely make or break your product launch – or any other item you send to your subscribers.

Resource Madness
"All the work we do is geared toward helping native peoples gain more control over their resources," explains Jeanne Rubin, organizer of the Indigenous Film & Arts Festival. "And stories are a resource. These people should be in control of their stories and how their histories are told, because when it's left to outsiders, it's no longer your story and it's no longer your history."
The IFAF kicks off tonight at 6 p.m. at Tennyson Gallery, 4369 Stuart Street, with To Cross an Ocean, an exhibit by New Zealand-based Maori artist Natasha Keating featuring images on authentic New Zealand wood. "She's trying to separate the myth from the legend of the Maori people," says Tennyson's Trina Hoefling. Afterward, the Academy Award-nominated short Maori film Two Cars, One Night screens at the Oriental Theater, 4335 West 44th Avenue. The exhibit and film are free, though a $10 donation is suggested. Other highlights include work by Boulder artist Bunky EchoHawk, jazz singing by Canadian Andrea Menard, Hawaiian hula performances and a plethora of film, complete with intelligent, thought-provoking discussions afterward. "One of the things we do that's a little different is, while we bring in filmmakers, we sometimes also bring in people who are featured in a movie or who can talk about the issues raised in a movie," notes Rubin. The festival runs through October 14; for a full schedule, visit www.iiirm.org.

I've been tinkering with the Menubar Countdown source this evening (my first ObjC/Cocoa hacking!). I'm interested for now in making the display of hours optional as the seconds currently are, possibly further small features in the future (I'm particularly interested in implementing timer presets).
Two questions come to mind:
1) Would you be interested in accepting such a feature(s) into the app?
2) If so, what would be the best way to feed back such changes to you (eg., github, your own git/svn/hq/bzr/whatever repo, etc)?
Most of all, thanks for such a nice, simple, functional and open source timer!

Possible to wrap header without removing it?
I'd like to wrap the header, as I've got the materials to do it and no heat shield installed. But, long story short, the header will not come out of the engine bay anytime soon (rusted and corroded bolts).
Has anyone wrapped their header without removing it? It looks like it should be doable, but won't be easy or pain-free.
W/O removing the fans, it's going to be a real PITA. I wouldn't even attempt it.
Call Steve and see what he wants for a brand new header. IIRC mine was under $200.
Also don't let the rust scare you. Sometimes working on a hot engine will aid in removing them. Ware good gloves so you don't melt skin. The 3 on the cat, just cut them and buy new, or tighten until they give up.
Does ford even make the svt header anymore? I would at least try to remove fans and loosen bolts to get header out. I can't see doing a good job wrapping while in vehicle due to the tight space to wrap.
Removing the fans is a good idea, but yeah I agree it's going to be difficult/impossible to do a good job while it's in there. I don't think I'd be able to get leverage to pull it tight in each turn.
Ford still makes the header IIRC, and it's easy to find a used one on the forums. But, here's why I say the existing header isn't coming out soon:
The bolt in the top picture is totally rounded off from my previous attempts to remove it. There's no room to get a cutting wheel in there either.
Can save your ass. Has mine a few times. And like I said, heat is your friend here.
Also, don't use 12pt sockets.
I always use 6pt sockets, and I did buy and use the Irwin bolt extractors, but I think the bolt was too far gone by the time I used them, since they just rounded they bolt off even further. Problem is there's no room to really smack the extractor on there.
In retrospect, PB Blaster + heat + bolt extractor + big breaker bar would have been the best way to start.
I won't use PB any longer.
Buddy introduced me to the Motorcraft penetrating oil. He did the test that sold him on it for me, I'm sold too. I haven't looked up the MSDS, but I'd guess it's made of black magic and Mike Tyson urine.
Can you buy motorcraft penetrating oil at chain parts stores? Are you opposed to the oem heatsheild? Or do you just wantbit wrapped? I'd just put the oem shield back on if its an option.
I've heard good things about that penetrating oil as well, can't seem to find it anywhere though.
OEM heatshield would be ok, except that it's expensive new, hard to find used, and will also be difficult/impossible to install without removing the heater. Getting the old one out was a bear in itself, even with cutting it up and bending it in every direction. Might be easier with the fans out of the way though.
I might just leave the header unshielded/unwrapped... been that way for over 6 months now with no real issues, but it's not the ideal situation.
I put mine back on, took the fans out from under neath and the shield went on with minimal persuasion.

obdII stopped working
Hey all,
I tried searching around about this but I just keep finding threads and posts about reading codes.
My problem is that I went to get emissions this past weekend, and the guy there said I had a fuse out because my obdII reader wasn't responding. I just checked out all the fuses and they are all fine. I even went to Autozone to see if they could read the obdII just to make sure it wasn't the emissions guy's fault, but no dice.
All the wires are connected on the backside of the connection, and as far as I can tell I don't see any wire breaks. The jeep is a 'weekend warrior' so doesn't get driven much and usually spends most of it's time under my carport.
Before I take it in to get it looked at, does anyone have any suggestions?
Does anyone know what fuse is tied to the OBDII reader? I'd like to see if the fuse is broken even though it's not showing.
I even tried the 'hold down the odometer button' trick, and it's not throwing any codes...
I don't have to pass an E check so I have not paid much mind to it until I read this but my 97 after changing everything over from a 99 does not work either.My scan tool says faulty port and the code reader at the local auto parts stores say E for error.Mine also is like yours and will only flash the 1111111-2222222-3333333 and so on but no codes from holding the trip button and toggling the switch.I do not think it is as simple as a fuse though because my port and code display worked before the swap so I am figuring it is a wiring issue that I have not addressed yet.But then again for both our sacks hopefully it is a simple fuse.I will check into mine a little more and if I find anything I will let you know.

It's my birthday! You should see all the cool things I got! I got to sqeaky toys, one that lookslike a multicolored me, and another that is a pig with curly hair! and then mommy got me this huge box of treats that she says are bad for me! Unfortunately I have to share with my aunt....ggggrrrrrrrrrrr
We went home to visit my people last weekend, and I got to go out to the deer lease. I'm not cut out for that...it was so hot, and there were stickers everywhere, so I hid under the camper and wouldn't come out for nothing. mom was so mad because i would come when she called, so she had to bribe me with food, and then didn't even give me any! that's not nice at all!
that's not nice....the cat tried to take my bone away from me...i was just defending what was mine, so i got after her! And then mom got after me, and she spanked me...i guess its not okay to bark at other animals. then she took my bone away from me and then she let that stupid cat smell it....oooohhhh, that makes me so mad!

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently began cracking down on employers of illegal immigrants, enforcing steep penalties. During its 2011 fiscal year, the ICE audited the hiring records of nearly 2,500 businesses to verify workers' status. Businesses that employ unauthorized workers may be fined and blacklisted from receiving government contracts, and owners may be subject to civil and criminal charges.
How do you make sure that your employees are legally allowed to work in the U.S.? Here are a few suggestions:
- Ask potential hires. There are various questions that you shouldn't ask during a job interview, but it's perfectly acceptable to question whether an applicant has the legal right to work in the U.S. — and whether he or she can provide evidence to that effect.
- Collect I-9 forms and other documentation. Require job applicants to submit an I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form [PDF], which includes their name, date of birth, and Social Security number. It's also important to request the supplementary evidence listed on the form, such as a state driver's license, a U.S. passport or permanent resident (green) card, or a foreign passport with an I-551 stamp.
- Inspect the documents. The Center for Immigration Studies found that some 75 percent of illegal immigrants have fake Social Security cards. Make sure that the paperwork you receive is legit. Examine all of the documents provided by job applicants for discrepancies or potential problems, such as a photo that looks nothing like the applicant or a birthdate that seems off by many years.
- Verify the information. You may trust that your employees' documentation is genuine, but it never hurts to get an expert second opinion — especially if it will save you from facing significant penalties if you're wrong. The federal online verification program E-Verify, which is mandated in 14 states, can identify fraudulent documents with very little margin of error. Even if the system isn't required in your state, it's worth using to avoid any legal issues. If you discover that a potential or new employee has a fraudulent identity, you're under no legal obligation to report him or her to the INS, but you'll be well within your rights to withdraw your job offer.

The landlord does not accept the following in this place:
On your way to the grand city of Milan and still can't find the right place to stay? If living in a well-located part of the city sounds good to you, then direct your attention to this comfortable apartment close to the Chinatown neighbourhood. The flat - placed near the Milano Nord Domodossola train station, as well as other transport links - will allow to stay close to different shops, restaurants and several green areas. It might be just what you seek.
It will also provide you with a cosy and welcoming six-bedroom apartment which features a pleasant vibe, bright rooms and a peaceful environment. There is also a wide kitchen equipped with the main amenities so you and your flatmates can cook whatever you wish and finally, three common bathrooms. In short, a homely and good-looking flat in a well-connect neighbourhood. Seems to be an easy decision!
- The one month payment that you will make via Uniplaces represents one third (1/3) of the deposit to be paid. This money will be transferred to the landlord by Uniplaces after you move in.
- The following fees and costs must be completed at least 1 week before entering the room.
a) Deposit: 2 months' rent (in addition to the month paid via Uniplaces)
b) First month's rent: paid on a pro-rata basis, depending on the days you live at the property (if you move in on the 20th of June, the first month's rent will be just 10 day's rent)
Bills cost is 50€ per month.
One month rent, plus bills as penalty if your booking ends either in July or August.

didn't wanna. We have Sun night baseball and football and Thurs night baseball and
football but have you ever heard of Wed night football?
Sun and Mon are the Jewish holidays and that's a lot of money that
wouldn't be watching and buying. Then there was the Muslim holiday somewhere in
there so it was a master goat f*ck on Goodell and the NFL as you say
All that said, the radio guys said it was a done deal between the two front offices to
move the baseball game up to 1 pm and the football game around 8 or 9 until
Petey got involved and didn't want to get pushed around by the NFL. He tried to
buy the Bucs and move them here but Art came but Tags blocked him out getting
Glazer to buy them and keep them in Tampa. Petey also offered an un-heard of sum
for the Rams but Georgia nixed it so he has a grudge with the NFL. He wanted to
own both pro teams in Bmore.
Man, can you see him owing the Ravens????????
