I was a bit skeptical about this mattress because the price was relatively low compared to other memory foam mattresses, but I slept on a friends' mattress while visiting and they said to check Overstock for the brand. Boy, I wish I knew about this sooner! When my husband and I moved in together we bought a new mattress from a store in town. It was a good deal - cost about the same as this foam mattress, but was an innerspring - and was comfortable but it started to dent and sag after only 8 months! This mattress is far more comfortable than the innerspring we bough last year. We both liked very firm innerspring mattresses, however we found ourselves preferring this memory foam mattress even though it gives a bit when you lie on it. There is still a substantial amount of support, but you do sink in just a little. It kind of feels like sleeping on a marshmallow. There is far less bouncing when the other person moves around, which only contributes to the quality of our sleep. My husband is a warm sleeper, so much so that we usually run the ceiling fan during all 4 seasons, but he has said he's not too hot sleeping on this mattress. We both have noted an improvement in sore backs and necks, I was actually able to get rid of one of my pillows. I really cannot recommend this mattress enough! In fact, my only complaint is that the mattress is so comfortable, I'm having a hard time getting up with my alarm in the morning because I just want to stay in my amazingly comfortable bed as long as possible.
I ordered firm. If what I got is firm I would hate to see soft. This so called firm mattress is mushy and awful to sleep on. I had to throw it out the first week. It was killing my back. A piece of junk.
We needed to replace our guest mattress and did not want to spend an arm and a leg. My sister was here for the weekend with her 6 ft hubby . They said it was very comfortable and not too firm. Some people mentioned a smell, and we did not think that it was bad at all. We left the window cracked and aired it out over night. We put a mattress cover on and made the bed in the morning. No smell at all. Dont think twice about this mattress. We are very happy with it.
very happy with the mattress. one of us gets mild back problems and the other does not so we went for a medium and it worked out perfect. i think soft would create too much of a sinking feeling. and firm would feel like sleeping on the floor. left the mattress airing for 48 hours. definitely gets to 10 inches within the first 3 hours but better follow the instructions. no smell at all. mattress comes vacuumed sealed, in a tightly packed plastic, and in a big black bag. came a day early.
I love this mattress! It is the most comfortable one that I have ever had. It is firm but it molds around my body and feels so good when I go to bed. When I get into bed, I smile and say "ah"! I am so happy I bought this one!
Great product for the price. I love the *** shipping and the ease of getting the mattress through the door (since it's shrink wrapped). I ordered the firm mattress based on other reviews stating they did not think it was that firm. For my body type, slender, it is very firm. I'm hoping it eases up a bit, but I believe this was poor ordering on my part. Even though the mattress is firm, I am still satisfied.
I have had this mattress for a month now and love it just as much now as I did the first night I slept on it! I do not toss and turn throughout the night and I now only use one pillow to sleep with. The first three or four mornings after sleeping on this mattress my body did a lot of self adjusting and everything just felt as if it was slipping back into place!
Bought the "firm" mattress since I weight about 250 lbs. If you are on your back you sink in and it's hard to turn. Way too soft.
Sleep so go and my body doesn't hurt when I wake up in the morning.
I received my bed yesterday and after one night's sleep, I feel more energized and those uncomfortable pressure point spots from our previous mattress are gone. It is a comfortable bed. It is going to take some getting used to. This is our first memory foam mattress. Compared to others that I have tested, we tend to sink in and it is harder to turn. Think of it kind of like being a turtle turned over on it's back. That is what it felt like. We got a soft mattress and this mattress is not soft. I would consider it a medium or medium to firm. If you like soft mattresses only, don't bother. If you like a more firm mattress, I would recommend a medium. NOTE: Customer support says that you can return the product as long as the plastic is not removed. When you receive the item, keep in mind it is folded in half and VACUUM SEALED. You have no choice but to break open the plastic!!! Buy with caution. It did inflate instantly. Other than the kinks, it's much better than our old mattress.

Comments about Superman Toddler Costume:
I used the sizing guide to choose the size for this costume, but when it arrived it was extremely small on my three year old. Returning it was very easy, I just found the nearest Spirit store and took it in with the invoice I printed from the Spirit website. The store clerks were very friendly and gave me my money back with no questions asked. I ended up getting the next sized larger Superman costume which my son LOVES.

Scottish independence: Will it really TEAR the HEART from IT firms?
Re: Scotlands Last Chance
You present a beautiful picture of a future, but offer little in the way of a roadmap to get there.
We should have Thorium fission plants, and be developing fusion instead of burning coal and gas.
We should be exploring space and mining the asteroid belt.
We should be governing by ability and vision rather than personality and greed.
Getting to these lofty goals should not include chopping the world's population into smaller and more idealistic chunks, because if you do, you'll end up just one idealistic chunk in charge of nothing, amongst thousands who care little for your vision - exactly where you are now.
When writing code, no matter how good the procedure you call is, the whole program is still crap if the main body is corrupt. Fix the recursive lobby/tax/elect/media loop in the core, you can worry about everything else later.

I agree - with the other commenters
I like to know where my personal stuff is. Money is not personal (especially when most of what I have isn't really mine), so I am quite happy for someone else to look after it for me. Even so, I wouldn't say no to the odd bar of gold under the floorboards...
My family pictures, personal correspondance (I store all my email locally so I can peruse it offline), financial spreadsheets and so forth, I want to know where those bits are, and know that I have control over them. It is my responsibility to look after them (backups, RAID arrays and such). I am much happier knowing that MY STUFF is in MY HOUSE and not flung far and wide in some unknown warehouse that could get flooded, go up in flames and lose everything.
Whole-heartedly agree with the general feeling of comments so far. It will be a long time indeed before my modem will compete with even my slowest spinning lump of metal, and a long time after that before it can beat an SSD.

"Has always been excellent service and fast shipping to Canada!. I continue to use them for every occasion for our little one."
"I think this card fit exactly what I wanted. Nothing to flashy, but perfect to express our thanks to our family and friends for celebrating with us. Love the idea of it!"
"Overall I am happy with this card. I was happy to be able to customize it- I wanted to make more generalized cards that I could send out- not just thank you cards so I asked the designer in the live chat. I was able to change the wording on the card as well as the colors. The design turned out perfect. I wish the print quality of my picture was better- it doesn't list anywhere that the picture needed to be a certain resolution size or pixel."
"This card was more beautiful in person. The colors are bright and cheery. I'm using them as thank you cards for presents for our new baby and have received many compliments."
"I used this card as a Thank you after my father passed away. I used a photo of him waving and smiling and wrote Thanks for your expression of Sympathy. I cannot tell you how many comments I got from the people I sent this thank you note to. They have never recieved this type of thank you from the passing of a loved one. Many said they would be saving this card because the photo was so great. It is hard to find a thank you sympathy card, and this was perfect. It was elegant and tasteful with the black boarder. Thank you for helping me find a product that I could use during the passing of a loved one."

Combine Insurrection Demo V0.002a installerJul 25, 2007 Full Version 11 comments
Heres the installer for the demo. I fixed a few of those issues i reported earlier, the game will now end itself at the end of the catacombs level, also...
Combine Insurrection will take place directly after, or rather during and then 6 years after, the events of Half-Life 2.
In the mod you will take up the role of Freeman to try and finally rid the planet from the iron icy grip of the Combine.
Basic plot summery:
The Vortigaunts that had attempted to rescue you, Gordon, had failed and you were thought lost. Life went on, battles were won and lost. Yet eventually the Combine were driven off-world. But now they have returned once again, more ferociously then anyone had dared to hope.
With this Reinvasion you have also come back to the battle field. Mysterious as the pretext for your Re-Insertion may be, you take up your previous quest to save your home world.

Hey everyone, it is time for another update. Sorry that this is a few days late, I had some problems with Hammer compiling the maps and it took Friday and Saturday to resolve the issues.
So first off let me start by saying that progress was about mid-range this development cycle. Stuff got done but not as much as I would have liked. This was due to the source code work I did. I decided it was time to update the Source SDK code with the latest released on GitHub. In doing that I had to basically re-learn how to build it properly because I had already forgotten all of the pet peeves that SSDK2013 has and the ridiculous nature of the "self-compile" bits.
On top of this there were also some other issues resulting from me following the guide available on the Valve Developer Wiki about building SSDK2013. It says to use VC100 for the compiler mode in Visual Studio. For whatever reason I am not able to compile the code under VS 2010's architecture, I have to use VC110 (VS 2012) instead. I wasted about half a week re-figuring that out.
I then wasted another week tracking down changes I had made in the original SSDK code I was using before 2013 (so 2007) but had not marked with a comment for easy searching. This caused me to be missing some stuff like the cooldown timer, overheat tracking for certain weapons, and a few other things. There were some legit issues though, like having to fix a few sections where the SSDK2013 code usage had changed from 2007's usage of the code in that area or where something had to be recoded entirely because the code in that area no longer worked as it did previously.
Once I managed to get the SDK recompiled and with everything in it now I had blown through two and a quarter weeks. On the mapping side of the issues I found out that several maps were no longer compiling after the latest work done on them because I was blowing through the limitations. This happened on both Deck 8 and Deck 9. I had to pull Propper out from it's dusty shelf and figure out how to get it working with SSDK2013 (why I am two days late on the update).
But that is all solved for now and here we are. So on the topic of mapping progress most of the work done was on Deck 9, which is the largest of the decks in terms of map area. I started working on the second area and have a few screen shots from there to show. I also did some more work on decks 8 and 7. There was a bit of work done on deck 5 but not much really, in fact all I did was retexture the rest of the lighting elements in that security area I showed last week; although the retexturing did slightly change the look of it. I also removed the lights from there too, not sure why I did that when it is all supposed to be lit by textures. In Deck 7 I recreated the storage room stuff that was shown in the last developer's vlog. This also took a lot of time because Hammer had completely screwed up the vertices on the pylon I had made previously and a lot of editing had to be done. I also choose to go with a new method of lighting that I will also be moving forward with elsewhere due to the effect it created as you will see in the screen shots.
So here are the screen shots. Most of these are very dark and you will need to view the full sized images to see much.
This is the only screen from Deck 8. This is in that first room just off of the main hub down the left-hand hallway. The light strip you see will eventually be manipulated to run in a congruent path with the glass. This is going to be a security area when completed.
Here is that room in Deck 5. I am going to create a new light texture for the shelf thing in the back as the ones I am using for it in the screens are much too bright. Here you can see the new method of lighting I was talking about earlier. You can also see that this room looks a bit colder with the new textures around the lighting elements.
I originally was going to have two images from Deck 7 but the main security hub area did not really look like anything and there was nothing remotely interesting about it; that will change though. Here you can see two things for the price of one though: the remade storage area shelves along with the new lighting method. I may make textures based off of these but that are a bit brighter or maybe just texture the edges of the shelves with the current texture to increase the light being cast.
The first screen shot is just showing the first halfway areas of the new section of the 9th deck. The second one is really the one I thought would be interesting to show. In the area it is taken from I had to do quite a bit of creative brushing to get a ceiling in. Part of the room is a two-story area what also has a slant down to the other section of the room which is one-story. The two-story are also has some places where the walls are double-jointed or where there are sections where the pace that the wall angles down at changes. I had to figure out how to get all of the angles covered and also how to cover up a gaping hole into the void caused because part of the ceiling is higher than the other section in the two-story part.
That is all I have for screen shots. Next is the developer's vlog. This one is uber short because I lost some footage of me mapping in the second section of the 9th deck. Dunno what happened to it but I may have accidentally deleted it while I was clear out footage for Space Crusade that I was no longer going to use (I believe the files were in the same folder and Playclaw uses the process name, which is dwm for desktop recording, when saving files).
So, I mentioned an announcement in the description for the news article and that is what is going here. I have decided that, so I can focus on other projects both of my own creation and others that I am being contracted to work on, I am going to put Combine Insurrection on a side burner for the rest of the year. What this means is that I will still be working on CI every one in a while but I will not be making any updates during that time.
The reason for this is that I need to spend more time working on SC and other projects I have going require a higher precedence than both CI and SC. I cannot supply the time required while still working on both CI and SC at the same time and level. What will happen at the end of the year is essentially that the next update time will showcase all of the work completed between now and then (probably will be February 1 of 2015).
That is it for this update. Thanks for following the mod and I will see you next year hopefully with a ton of progress to show for it in both mapping and code work!
Heres the installer for the demo. I fixed a few of those issues i reported earlier, the game will now end itself at the end of the catacombs level, also...
This mod looks pretty damn good so far. I could give you some ideas for gameplay additions if you'd like.
Fire away.
Maps look way too big for their own good.
Other than that, this doesn't look or sound bad.
If you have not done it already, you should port this to Source SDK 2013. Much easier to work with and alot more stable.
Will be doing so this week. Found out that the source code was released but through Gethub instead of the old system. Here's hoping for an easy conversion (not going to hold my breath though lol).
You should make this mod for EP2, it would look much better!
There is no source code for Source 2009 yet. Due to my use of a lot of custom code I have to wait until Valve releases the code for Source 2009 before I can move stuff over.
My only critique (if I may), is that the maps could use better lighting/shadowing. But I know Hammer/Source 2009 lighting sucks the big one and can be VERY trying to work with to make it look right for todays standards.
Anyways, I look forward to watching this mod more.
The lighting here must be even worse. These maps are made with Source 2007.
There are other things I did not mention because they have to do with individual map events. Trust me when I say that there are some epic moments floating around in my pool of ideas. Not going to release any details about them though as I want then to remain a surprise.

Common Area Rug Sizes
Area Rugs Come in Many Sizes. Things You Need to Consider.
The size of an area rug is one the important factors to keep in mind when shopping for area rugs. Here is why the size is important. It provides a boundary and helps with designating certain areas of your space for certain functions; for example, dining room boundary can be easily defined by the size of the rug which is normally about two feet larger than table all around.
Most oriental rugs as well as contemporary rugs are made overseas in Asia and Europe. The measuring system is metric. Every meter is 3.28 feet and when a size is converted to feet, we always get some change, so to speak.
So what size should your rug be? I recommend this formula which I use myself:
Space + Function + preference = size
Now let's breakdown the formula. Space is the size of your room where the rug is going to be used. Function is defined by what we do and the rug is supposed to do in the room. Preference is a personal taste and sense of design.
Let's say you want to buy a rug for your living room where you hang out and have normally have a coffee table. The first thing you need to do is to measure the the entire space of your living room. Depending on the purpose which the rug serves like keeping your feet warm in winter time or covering that damaged spot in your tile floor, you decide how much of the space should the rug cover. That might be all you need to measure for the size of the rug. However, depending on what type of climate you live in, and the type of floor you have, the rug might serve a different function for you. If you have young children at home, the rug can serve different functions such as protection while the kids play on the floor and sound reduction when they run around the room and might disturb the neighbors living below your apartment.
The last element in the formula is the preference. You might think a small area rug under the coffee table looks a lot better than a larger size which covers the entire space in your living room. When it comes to bedroom area rugs, you may prefer a larger rug one which almost covers the entire floor so your bare feet are always pampered with the softness of your rug.
Those are the things you need to consider when measuring for an area rug. Thankfully, area rugs come in variety of sizes (and shapes), finding one to fit your space shouldn't be difficult.
Here are the most common rug sizes (approximately) and.. Continue reading Common Area Rug Sizes Part II

LATHROP – The Lathrop Spartans were not able to complete their improbable comeback, but they were able to serve notice to the rest of the Valley Oak League that they would not be a pushover in a 25-15, 25-22, 23-25 and 25-21 loss to East Union Tuesday.
The Sierra Timberwolves closed out a strong first-half of the Valley Oak League schedule, dropping the East Union Lancers 11-4 Tuesday.
While it's still early, Weston Ranch High has reason to feel proud of its unprecedented start to the season.
The silver lining to Ripon High's scoreless tie against host Escalon in Trans Valley League play Tuesday was that game had little semblance to their previous meeting.
It was a good-news, bad-news scenario for both sides.
WESTON RANCH - Robbie Geerlof had three good looks at the Weston Ranch goal in the first half: Two were lifted well over the crossbar and split the football uprights, and the other was touched weakly to the keeper.
To be more competitive in the Valley Oak League this season, East Union High coach Eryn Bowers has encouraged competition from within.
Weston Ranch High's surprising run to start the Valley Oak League season continued Thursday with a 12-3 victory over host Manteca.
Sierra High's 4-0 start to the season is followed by its first losing streak.
It didn't take Ripon Christian long to get past Waterford Thursday night to open its first Southern League match of the season on an extremely high note.
It wasn't the opening whistle that got the East Union Lancers going in their Valley Oak League showdown with Sierra High Wednesday; it was the Timberwolves netting the game's first goal in a 2-1 come-from-behind win over host Sierra.
The Manteca Buffalos were led by a solid nine-hole round from Mickey Dias whose round of 53 led the Buffalos over the Sierra Timberwolves 323-333 Wednesday at Manteca Golf Course.
It was a matchup between the city's top best singles players, and for now title belongs to Sierra High's Vannida Nguyen.
Ripon Christian was welcomed to the Southern League with a 3-2 loss to visiting Mariposa Tuesday.
The Weston Ranch Cougars bounced back after dropping the third game, beating Central Valley 25-22, 25-20, 17-25, 26-24 Tuesday in Stockton.
Manteca's girls tennis team ended the first round of Valley Oak League play with a pivotal 5-4 win at Oakdale despite missing two regular doubles players Tuesday.
Lathrop threatened to force a fifth set but came up short against visiting East Union, which prevailed 25-15, 25-22, 13-25, 25-21 for its first Valley Oak League victory of the season.
McKenna Doyle posted her best score of the season Tuesday at Manteca Park Golf Course and was low medalist in Sierra's 258-287 victory over Oakdale.
Ripon Christian got back on track Tuesday with a 4-1 win at Waterford.
LATHROP - East Union was relentless in the attacking third during the first half, pressuring the Lathrop defense into mistakes with precision passing and outstanding individual play.
Missed opportunities and defensive breakdowns kept Sierra from gaining at least a point in the Valley Oak League standings Monday.
Ripon High's girls golf team placed second among North Division teams in the Valley Foothill League Mid-Year Tournament, which was held Monday at Micke Grove Golf Course in Lodi.

It may be a coincidence, but ever since I have been drinking homebrew, I fart like a racehorse. I pour the bottle carefully and dump the last 1/2 oz. Do I need to go on beano to keep the peace with my SWMBO?
The yeast is still working in your system. Try a German Hefeweizen and see it the velocity improves.

Regarding 12 splurts a day, that was my average pre-homebrew. I'm now in the 30-40 a day. And they are not as dry as they used to be.
Is there anything out there people are taking to counteract, or should I let nature take it's course.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Game lets you work out like a 'Hollywood star'
I confess that I was drawn to this game by the word "Hollywood" in the title. Who doesn't want to train with the same fitness coach as Kate Beckinsale and Robert Pattinson?
Harley Pasternak is an established workout trainer to the stars -- and a Canadian with a masters of science in exercise physiology and nutritional sciences from the University of Toronto. Hollywood Workout, released Sept. 20, is an Xbox 360 workout game based on Pasternak's methods that promises to "reveal the A-list physique in all of us."
I really enjoy Kinect-based workout programs because they offer personalized feedback based on your movement and repetitions. Unlike a workout video, these games will tell you when you need to widen your stance, deepen your lunge or push a little harder to improve your progress. Although they cannot substitute for a real personal trainer, they offer a close approximation (without the embarrassment of working out in front of strangers at your local gym).
But what makes Hollywood Workout different from games like Your Shape: Fitness Evolved and Nike + Kinect Training?
The main attraction in this game is a personalized five- or 10-week fitness program where you work out five days a week for 25 minutes a day. Each session contains a five-minute cardio warmup, five minutes of upper body strength exercises, five minutes of core exercises, five minutes of lower body strength exercises and five minutes of cool down. The exercises are very easy to follow and unlike some workout games, the repetitions are reasonable -- even if you're not in the best of shape.
What's best about Pasternak's exercises is that they focus on a different muscle group every day. So, although you may be sore from doing a Hollywood Workout session, the next day you will still be able to exercise because you will be using a different set of muscles. You can also edit each day's session to switch out particular exercises that you do not enjoy.
Kinect-based games are sometimes troubled by glitchy interfaces or faulty body scanning. I found the Kinect functions in Hollywood Workout to work very well, although I did have to move my Kinect sensor from a beneath-the-television position to an above-the-television position in order to have the sensor correctly read my position for mat exercises such as sit-ups.
One drawback of the game is that it does not offer many stretching exercises. Some days, I was quite sore from these workouts and wished there was a longer cool-down section with additional yoga-type stretches.
The game box also advertises Pasternak's "5 Factor Diet" -- but don't expect a detailed meal plan in this game. The only nutritional information included is short video segments that pop up at the end of workouts. If you want detailed nutritional coaching, you'll need to subscribe to Pasternak's website and pay a monthly fee.
The interface is solid and the workouts are both fun and very achievable. Although it should be supplemented with additional stretching to promote flexibility and reduce sore muscles, Hollywood Workout is a great way to get ready for a red carpet event -- or just adopt a more active lifestyle.

Review this tv show
Jun 6, 2013Excellent writing and characters make this one of the best shows on TV right now. Don't get too attached to any of the characters though they could be gone at any time.
Jun 1, 2013Southland is actually the one and only TV show that I can not go without. I have to watch the episode the same day it is released. Love the precap in the beginning of each episode!
May 26, 2013It's interesting, captivating and it shows humanity and instinct of "I can help them" so is a very good series and I don't know why TNT cancelled the show.
May 22, 2013Some one rescue this show, AGAIN! each season has grown denser in story, character and nuances. Non-aligned and non-compromising black, white and grey cop procedural will now be sorely missed as its cable buddies bounce it out in favour of Dallas!.. HBO Sundance or Showtime, get your finger out and rescue this show
from executive's heads buried in the Californian desert sand. They rescued the show no denying that, but look at what it has become.… Collapse
Apr 25, 2013I'm astounded at the low number of reviews for Southland. It is one of the very few T.V shows that can leave you sitting stunned at what you have just seen. Maybe Breaking Bad at its best does as well. Episode 9 in particular is truly edge of your seat stuff. The character development and performances are simply outstanding. It is the most gripping show currently in production and deserves at least another season… Expand
Apr 3, 2013The excellence continues. Mr. Kudlitz gets to show more of his character. He and Cooper are improving with age. Best of all, the grit and reality remain and are not glossed over as some shows effect as seasons progress. The cold openings are as intriguing as ever--just a job well done, all around.
Feb 26, 2013Southland, Season 5. This show has (quietly) become one of only two scripted dramas I am excited about watching each week while most of my favorites have been cancelled and the ones that haven't continue there decline into programs I watch out of nostalgia (loyalty?) rather than anticipation. I am amazed that a show with so many main characters I dislike (Adams, Bryant, Sherman) continues to engage.… Expand
Feb 14, 2013It was a different season premiere, it was still entertaining. The thing that I was glad about was how Officer John Cooper was back in classic form. Obviously he was different last season because he was just out of rehab, but still. This is his season 1 style in season 5 taking his boot by the balls.
Feb 14, 2013This year's premiere, while fantastic, wasn't quite as gut-wrenching as the last few years' have been. That being said, Southland is still the best cop show on TV. The premiere seems to be setting up a season with heavy character development, but that's not to say that it won't be heavy on action as well (full riot gear in the first episode is a good sign). The writers are pushing our heroes (or anti-heroes?) closer to the edge again, and it's not really a question of if someone will slip, but a question of who and when.… Expand
Southland remains one of the most morally complex and insightful dramas on television today.
The cast--including Michael Cudlitz, Ben McKenzie, Shawn Hatosy and Regina King--is perfection. No ensemble of actors on television is more stunning or exciting to watch.
For the most part, though, what we see and hear is all we're allowed to know, and it's enough, just as the accumulation of moments in a fly-on-the-wall documentary are enough to make us feel for the subjects.

When you are waiting to make a left hand turn off of D.W.Seaton onto 23 Mile ... ► Open33244-33272 23 Mile Rd New Baltimore, MI 48047, USA
It is very frustrating to have to wait that long for the light to change.· Reported by Stephanie (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged
Dee (Guest)
It's not the wait but the fact that the light changes quickly for those making that left hand turn only allowing 2 cars to complete the turn legally on the green light. Typically car 3 and 4 continue through the amber and red lights making it very dangerous. The timing on the green light should be longer for those coming off D.W. Seaton onto 23 Mile.
Just me (Guest)
Plus the green light for traffic coming off D W Seaton is too short. Only a couple of cars can make a left turn legally.
People Constantly Running Red Light ► Open52299-52301 Gratiot Ave New Baltimore, MI 48051, USA
Can we get some police enforcement or traffic cameras in this intersection? I see people flying through this red light on an every day basis. We have almost been hit 5 times in the last 6 months by people who refuse to stop at this signal. It is very dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians. Something needs to be done to get drivers to pay attention to this traffic signal!· Reported by RedJ (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged
Road Comm of Macomb County (Guest)
Gratiot between 23 and 24 Mile Road is a state trunkline under MDOT jurisdiction. In order to request additional police presence, I believe you would have to contact the Sheriff's Office or perhaps even the State Police. These agencies do not monitor this SeeClickFix website, so you would have to pursue this directly with them.

Couldn't agree with you more. This light does nothing but impede the flow of traffic on Gratiot. Was installed around time they built factory on the corner - probably thinking would be needed to cover flow of traffic from industrial in area that never materialized due to the economy. Thank goodness it at least becomes a blinker at 9 pm. What a total waste of taxpayer money - it even has cameras attached to it.

Fix this so people stop trying to race through the intersection ► OpenGratiot And 26 Mile Rd.
Fix this so people stop trying to race through the intersection and beat the traffic through the narrowing of the road. I have been run into the left turn lane because some yahoo decides he does not have to follow the flow of traffic. I have also been run into on coming traffic.· Reported by Concerned (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged
Richmond (Guest)
Don't you just love that? My favorite is when someone comes flying up the right lane and acts like "Oh wow! Where did my LANE go?!?" as if they've never been through there before. So they cut somebody off to squeeze in and before you know it they're turning into the mobile home park the other side of 27 Mile or down a side street.
The county should just make the right lane "Right Turn Only" onto 26 Mile so they have to use the left lane to go straight through. It would save a LOT of stress at this intersection.
Speed Limit ► Open23 Mile Raod Chesterfield, MI
What is the speed limit for 23 Mile Road?· Reported by DesignTeam · Share · Flag Flagged
Speed limit ► Open48946-49164 Donner Rd Chesterfield, MI
The speed limit on Donner Road needs to be reduced. There are places where there aren't any sidewalks and when you get close to Cotton Road, there is hardly a shoulder. Some walker/jogger/bike rider could get hit. Also, cars going in both directions, will floor it after going around the sharp curve traveling at 50-60 mph. Back when this was a dirt road and hardly anyone living here, 45 was fine. But now that it is all paved and there are many more people living here, it needs to be changed. There is a lot more traffic on this road because it is a shortcut to 23 Mile.· Reported by Concerned (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged

This light is way to long, I think sometimes only 2 cars can only turn left off Donner onto 23. If you are the 5th or 6th car you have to sit through 2 or 3 lights and the light is very very long.

This light situation was intended to help congestion. It has created more. The double lights are frustrating. The first light turns green and you cannot move forward becuase the second light (within a stone's throw) is still red. Traffic is always heavy in this area so the problem is not isolated to rush hour etc.
Jason (Guest)
The lights on 23mile are not timed right, causing this problem. Going west on 23 the signal on the off ramp needs to stay green as the one before that turns red. This would allow the cars to continue leaving less congestion for the cars turning to 23 off Donner.

This traffic light may benefit from a computerized traffic counting and averaging system which would automatically provide the best light timing based on past and present traffic patterns.
I have the ability within my family of designing and programming such a system in case one does not exist elsewhere. It is a lot simpler and less expensive than one might think to create "Smart" traffic lights.

I am not certain it has been resolved, but I believe Cotton Rd. traffic now has more time to make a left turn.
Needs a stop light!!! ► Archived24601-25199 Kings Pointe New Baltimore, MI 48051, USA
The Kingspointe sub is very difficult to enter and exit. We have lived here for 14 years and have heard numerous accidents happen, what does the final tally need to be for injuries. School buses have a very tough time to get in and out also, with the amount of semi-truck traffic I would not care to see what would happen if a truck hit a bus at 50m.p.h. loaded with kids.· Reported by Eric Natale (Guest) · Share · Flag Flagged

Wouldnt a light at Walmart make it even harder to turn left and even more not safe? Then traffic would be backed up even more. The same thing goes for a light at the enterance to the sub. If we just put up no turn left, then we won't have to deal with all that traffic.
resident (Guest)
? Dont get your reply, a signal light would make it difficult to turn left?
Kevin S. (Guest)
A left turn lane would back traffic up in both directions. People would be stoping right in front of the entrances. Then it would be hard to turn left. When you try you would have to push your way into traffic that is backed up at the light or be stuck in the left turn lane. It happens all the time at the lights on 23 mile road. Then people are stuck, backing up traffic even more.

Discovery crew prep for return to Earth
Space shuttle Discovery will tomorrow undock from the International Space Station ahead of a scheduled return to Kennedy Space Center at 13:44 EDT (17:44 GMT) on Saturday. Mission specialist Joseph Acaba during yesterday's spacewalk The shuttle's STS-119 mission to deliver and fit the final solar arrays to the orbiting outpost …
But the really important question is...
Will Spacebat return with them?
Paris. Because she knows all about getting a free ride.
Does this mean that each astronaut that visits the ISS will be forced to drink several pints of tea before blasting off so as to ensure enough drinking water for all?
Visible tonight at 19:33 from UK
Clear skies permitting.
Rising 10 degrees above west, setting 10 degrees above east south east.
With a pair of bins, you may even see the shuttle after separation.
Coming back so soon because they're fed up with the ISS residents taking the piss perhaps?
Paris, hey, I've got a headache, massage me...

I shopped around a lot on the Intranet before purchasing from Windy City. They had the best designs and a good price. I was a little worried because I ordered this two weeks before Halloween and my son wanted to be a hippie when trick or treating, but shipping was very fast. Thanks Windy City.

My 5 year old son was in a parade, the theme was "Come on get happy about reading" all the kids were wearing tye-dye, however he really stood out with the bright colorful colors. Since the parade he often asks to wear his parade shirt. I purchased a shirt to match his as, I walked along side of the float, I found the shirt to be cool, on a warm Florida afternoon.

Forest River and Thor in a Mid-Year 'Dead Heat'
August 26, 2013 by Sherman Goldenberg · Leave a Comment
For the first time in memory, the industry's two RV-building volume leaders, Thor Industries Inc. and Forest River Inc., are in a dead heat for retail market share in both towable and motorized RVs, according to Statistical Surveys Inc., Grand Rapids, Mich. At least they were at mid-year, with the two Elkhart, Ind.-based manufacturers each occupying exactly 35.4% of the "all towable" market. In fact, they were only nine units apart through June – Thor at 39,803 units vs. Forest River... Read more

How to Stop Your Perfectionistic Tendencies From Destroying Your Life
There's a lot to be said for being a perfectionist, as it pushes one to strive for excellence and to reach their true potential. I always loved this characteristic in myself, and I attribute whatever success I've had to it. But for a long time, I didn't realise it was a double-edged sword. Then when I was 19, my perfectionism plunged me into a near-fatal depression.

If you are rich and/or famous, perhaps you have stayed there. If you are like me (neither rich nor famous), you have only enjoyed this over-the-top resort through photographs and dreams of being there. Either way, The Point is a spectacular place to see. I first learned about it many many years ago in an article in Victoria magazine.
It was built in the early 1930's as one of the Great Camps on Upper Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks region of New York by William Avery Rockefeller. Yes, it was a Rockefeller's private residence. Designed by architect Willliam G. Distin and completed in 1933, it was originally named Wonundra – an Australian Aborigine word meaning "Big Rock."
If rustic elegance was a word in the dictionary, The Point would be the picture beside its definition. It is the epitome of rustic and top notch elegance. Just take a look at a few of the rooms. Iroquois, the room in the photograph below, was originally daughter Elsie Rockefeller's bedroom.
Mohawk was the Rockefeller's master bedroom.
Here is Mohawk's updated bathroom.
There are several buildings spread across the 75 acres (with only 11 rooms available for accommodations.)
One of the most requested rooms sits atop their boathouse.
It is quite a room, and years ago, it was my favorite.
I have read that the service there is always flawless – as if they can predict your every want and need. There are many outdoor activities from which you can choose – no matter what the season. The food is superb with communal seating around 2 large tables – black tie on Wednesday and Saturday nights. There are even sunset cruises on the lake in one of their two boats.
All of the furniture is adirondack style mixed with old photographs and oil paintings, and there is a giftshop on site.
All activities and all meals are included in your room rate, but I doubt we will ever be able to enjoy it. One evening's accommodations are sadly more than our monthly mortgage payment. You are most definitely living like a Rockefeller at The Point. (I believe it is rated as one of the top 10 most expensive hotel rooms in the United States.)
Interestingly, last year, several articles were published stating that the owners had defaulted on their loan, and The Point was in foreclosure. I am not sure of all the details, but it has something to do with a loan and Lehman Brothers. I am also not sure financially what has become of it, but the business continues to be run by the same general manager with the same set of high standards. I checked the recent reviews on Trip Advisor, and they all continue to be 5 star reviews. So if you have a million or two or three waiting to be invested, perhaps you'd like to own The Point (just keep the same general manager running things for you.)
Also, they have an opening for the evening dining room supervisor if you are interested. You can apply here.
(Just thought you might want to know about that.)
And finally, I am leaving you with a short video so that you can take a virtual vacation there this weekend. Fingers crossed it will work for you. ( I am having trouble getting it to play again on my computer, but it is working on my husband's smartphone.) Click here or here, and hopefully one of the links will work.
Hope you have a great weekend planned!
