|Comfort Info
|With a dense layer of Talalay comfort latex, the Bloom Hybrid offers seven times more breathability than other latex beds.
|The ideal temperature for sleeping is 69 degrees. Lull's 1.5" viscoelastic memory foam top layer is injected with a gel polymer, specifically designed to transfer heat away from your body when it is warm by dispersing your body heat throughout the mattress. Breathable top-tick fibers and open cell foam structure promote enhanced airflow to help heat flow freely away from you.
|Our mattresses feature 100% natural latex rubber foam, made from sustainably harvested sources. It is an eco-friendly, high-performance material, offering resilience, durability, and temperature control that far exceeds synthetic, blended or petroleum-based polyurethane foams.

|The Lull Mattress supports and cradles your body to provide healthy spine alignment while you sleep. 1.5" transition layer made from a proprietary blend of premium foam combined with our 7" high-density polyurethane core support layer ensures the proper body alignment while you are sleeping. A healthy spine position allows your muscles to rest throughout the night and wake up refreshed in the morning.

|A 3" top layer of Talalay latex delivers a unique buoyant quality that relaxes muscles and relieves tension, lifting away the pressures of the day while you sleep. Made from natural Talalay rubber, Talalay latex is certified Oeko-Tex class 1; safe for babies.
|A common complaint about memory foam mattresses is that you sink and get stuck. Not with Lull. Our proprietary blend of premium foam was designed with just the right amount of bounce-back in mind. The 1.5" transition layer responds and supports your body so you don't get that sinking feeling or a trampoline-like experience.

Patient Testimonials
Dr. Goodove and his staff were amazing from start to finish. My daughter had a great experience while getting her wisdom teeth pulled, and continues to heal nicely. I will definitely take my other daughters to Dr. Goodove when the time comes for them to get their wisdom teeth removed. Would highly recommend Goodove Oral Surgery!
Had a crown on a tooth with a fractured root. Needed to have the remainder of the tooth/root extracted ASAP. Was able to get an appointed the next morning!! Went in, after consulting with the staff and DR, was able to leave with the extraction complete and implant started!! Was extremely happy with their professionalism, expertise and, as a self pay patient, their price! I am very happy I chose Goodove Oral Surgery & Dental Implants!!
I had my upper right wisdom tooth extracted this morning and the staff and doctor were exceptionally wonderful. Delanie prepped me and Dr. Lee did the extraction and had me in and out in under 45mins. My appt was at 830, I was numbed by 845 and by 855 I was coming resting comfortably with one less tooth! I'm typically scared of any type of oral pain but Dr. Lee made sure I was numb and Delanie made sure the laughing gas kept me calm and comfortable. The tooth was huge! They've already called to check on me and overall both the practice and staff are welcoming and hospitable. I've already raved so much about the care that I've received from them to my husband that he's going to let them take care of his wisdom teeth! I could not reccomend them enough!
This is in reference to the Suffolk location.
I have been trying years to get my wisdom teeth out, but I've always been scared. I was referred to one dentist however he only provided numbing medicine and I wanted to be put to sleep. So eventually I was referred to Goodove. First visit was hard for me because I get anxiety so I had to reschedule. Finally came back and was able to have a relaxing conversation with Dr. Berry. My appointment was yesterday and it was over in 30 minutes. I still had effects of the anesthesia up to 6 hours later, but it was a very pleasant and painless experience. Even post-op I was not in pain.

EU fails to block U.S. tariffs in new WTO aircraft ruling: sources
PARIS/BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The World Trade Organization has found the EU has failed to withdraw all subsidies to planemaker Airbus, (AIR.PA) three people familiar with the matter said, a decision likely to permit the United States to maintain tariffs on European goods.
Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer, speaks during a news conference for the delivery of the first Fiji Airways A350 XWB airliner at the aircraft builder's headquarters of Airbus in Colomiers near Toulouse, France, November 15, 2019. REUTERS/Regis Duvignau
A new compliance report, to be published on Monday at 4 p.m. in Geneva (1500 GMT), found that the Airbus A350 jetliner continues to be subsidized as a result of earlier government loans, they said.
However, the WTO could scale back the amount of harm deemed to have been caused to U.S. rival Boeing (BA.N), which influenced a decision to allow U.S. tariffs on $7.5 billion of EU imports, two of the people said.
Neither the WTO nor the parties in the 15-year-old trade case, which involves mutual claims of billions of dollars of subsidies to both planemakers, had any immediate comment.
The United States imposed tariffs on European goods including most Airbus planes and products from cheese to olives and single-malt whisky in October.
The $7.5-billion ceiling of damages approved by the WTO was based on the amount of economic damage believed to have been caused to Boeing as a result of European support to Airbus, mainly in the form of government loans for the A380 and A350.
The WTO overruled EU attempts to halt the tariffs while Brussels brought forward new arguments to show that it had complied with earlier rulings, in a somewhat rare second compliance procedure.
Monday's report will deliver the WTO's verdict on those new arguments, which rely partly on the fact the A380 – once the European planemaker's flagship – is facing the axe because of poor sales, meaning any damage to Boeing was temporary.
Two of the people familiar with the case said the WTO had accepted part of these arguments, implicitly agreeing to reduce the ceiling for U.S. retaliation by as much as $2 billion.
However, it remained unclear how quickly a partial European victory on that front could translate into lower tariffs, due to legal technicalities.
By appealing the new compliance finding, the United States could effectively send the case into a void as the WTO Appellate Body, which hears appeals, is about to cease functioning due to U.S. blocking of new appointments, experts said.
Instead, the EU is expected to focus on the prospect of counter-tariffs in a parallel case over Boeing subsidies likely to come to a head next spring, while calling for a broader negotiated settlement on aircraft support worldwide.

Tesla boss Elon Musk wins defamation trial sparked by 'pedo guy' tweet
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) boss Elon Musk gained a stunning legal victory on Friday as a federal court jury swiftly rejected the $190 million defamation claim brought by a British cave explorer who Musk had branded a "pedo guy" on Twitter.
FILE PHOTO – SpaceX owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk speaks at the E3 gaming convention in Los Angeles, California, U.S., June 13, 2019. REUTERS/Mike Blake
The unanimous verdict by a jury of five women and three men was returned after about 45 minutes of deliberation on the fourth day of Musk's trial, which was closely watched by legal experts because it is believed to be the first major defamation lawsuit by a private individual to go to trial over tweets.
Musk, 48, who had testified during the first two days of the trial in his own defense and returned to court on Friday to hear closing arguments from the two sides, exited the courtroom after the verdict and said: "My faith in humanity is restored."
Outside the courthouse, cave explorer Vernon Unsworth told a throng of reporters he was resigned to his defeat. "I accept the jury's verdict, take it on the chin and get on with my life."
The case stems from a public quarrel between Musk and Unsworth, who gained fame for his leading role in coordinating the successful rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in Thailand in July 2018.
Unsworth, 64 had chided Musk in a CNN interview for delivering a mini-submarine, which was never used, to the site of the Tham Luang Nang Non cave system. Unsworth called Musk's intervention a "P.R." stunt and said the high-tech entrepreneur should "stick his submarine where it hurts."
Musk responded two days later on Twitter with three posts that became the basis of the defamation case. The first questioned Unsworth's role in the rescue, while the second said, "Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it," using a slang term of pedophile.
The third tweet, in reply to a follower who asked Musk about the second tweet, said, "Bet ya a signed dollar it's true."
In closing arguments on Friday, Unsworth's lead attorney, L. Lin Wood, summed up his case by castigating Musk as a "billionaire bully" who had "dropped a nuclear bomb" on Unsworth in his Twitter blast.
Wood said Musk's "pedo guy" remark was a slur that would overshadow Unsworth's relationships and job prospects for years to come and urged jurors to teach the Tesla chief executive and SpaceX founder a lesson by awarding Unsworth $190 million, including $150 million in punitive damages.
Two days earlier, under questioning on the witness stand, Musk had estimated his net worth at $20 billion.
But the jury was apparently swayed by the arguments put forth by Musk's attorney, Alex Spiro, who said the tweets in question arose from an argument between two men and amounted to an off-hand insult that no one could be expected to take seriously.
"In arguments you insult people," he said. "There is no bomb. No bomb went off."
Spiro also said Unsworth failed to demonstrate that he suffered any harm from Musk's comments, which the South African-born businessman apologized for in court earlier in the week.

Nachhaltigkeit soll im Schweizer Finanzsektor wichtiger werden
Die Schweizer Regierung erwägt Regulierungen für den Finanzsektor in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit. Die Branche könnte dies durch eigene Aktivitäten noch abwenden.
Kommt eine weitere Regulierung auf den Schweizer Finanzsektor zu? «Nachhaltigkeit» ist derzeit vor allem im Zusammenhang mit der Umwelt ein oft gehörter Begriff, der auch die Banken erfasst hat. Der Bundesrat hat am Freitag das Thema nachhaltiger Finanzsektor ein weiteres Mal behandelt und das Finanzdepartement mit einer Analyse in Sachen Umwelt- und Klimarisiken beauftragt. Dabei geht es unter anderem um eine mögliche «Pflicht zur systematischen Offenlegung von relevanten und vergleichbaren Informationen für Kunden, Eigner und Investoren». Der Bund möchte dem Vernehmen nach lieber nicht neue Pflichten für Finanzdienstleister ins Gesetz schreiben, aber er scheint zu erwarten, dass die Branche selber etwas macht.
International läuft schon einiges, und in der Schweiz ist die Bankiervereinigung an der Arbeit. Der Branchenverband will nächstes Jahr für die Mitglieder einen Leitfaden zur Nachhaltigkeit in der Vermögensverwaltung herausbringen. Dabei soll es unter anderem um die Sensibilisierung von Kunden und Mitarbeitern sowie um das Ausloten der Kundenwünsche zu nachhaltigen Anlagen gehen. Im Kreditgeschäft dürfte das wie in der Vermögensverwaltung zur stärkeren Berücksichtigung von Nachhaltigkeitsrisiken führen. Dies gilt auch für die Aufseher der Nationalbank und der Finma, die dem internationalen Netzwerk Greening the Financial System angehören.
Viele Äusserungen zum Thema klingen verantwortungsvoll. Und der Trend bietet den Banken Geschäftschancen. Heikler wird es, wenn der Finanzsektor zu einer Umweltpolizei mutieren sollte, die gehalten wäre, nur noch Geschäfte mit «nachhaltig» handelnden Kunden zu machen. Ganz abgesehen von der delikaten Abgrenzung zwischen «Guten» und «Bösen» ist hier ein Grundsatz der Ordnungspolitik nicht zu vergessen: Empfindet die Gesellschaft ein bestimmtes Verhalten als so schädlich, dass es einzudämmen ist, dann soll man dieses Verhalten direkt verbieten oder mit einer Lenkungsabgabe belasten, statt die Banken zum «Herausmobben» von legal tätigen Kunden aufzufordern.
U.S. agencies looking into Goldman-1MDB settlement below $2 billion: Bloomberg

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) could end up paying less than $2 billion to resolve criminal and regulatory probes over its role in raising money for scandal-ridden Malaysian investment fund 1MDB, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing three people familiar with the negotiations.
While a settlement could be announced as soon as next month, the terms could change before a deal is finalized, according to the report.
The Justice Department and other federal agencies have weighed seeking penalties between $1.5 billion and $2 billion, which is less than what some analysts have signaled Goldman might have to pay, Bloomberg reported.
Malaysia has charged Goldman and 17 current and former directors of its units for allegedly misleading investors over bond sales totaling $6.5 billion that the U.S. bank helped raise for sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB).
Goldman Sachs spokeswoman Maeve DuVally said the bank continues to cooperate with the regulators' investigations, but declined to comment further. The Department of Justice also declined to comment.
Shares of the U.S lender were up 2.7% in the afternoon trade.

He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. Under it were figures of gourds, for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. Its thickness was a handbreadth. And its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held 3,000 baths. ...
Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold.

In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord. The house that King Solomon built for the Lord was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house. And he made for the house windows with recessed frames. He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running around the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around. ... Bible Art
Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it.

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
King Solomon was king over all Israel, and these were his high officials: Azariah the son of Zadok was the priest; Elihoreph and Ahijah the sons of Shisha were secretaries; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests; Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan was priest and king's friend; ...
It was carved with cherubim and palm trees; and a palm tree was between cherub and cherub, and every cherub had two faces, a man's face toward the palm tree on one side and a young lion's face toward the palm tree on the other side; they were carved on all the house all around. From the ground to above the entrance cherubim and palm trees were carved, as well as on the wall of the nave. The doorposts of the nave were square; as for the front of the sanctuary, the appearance of one doorpost was like that of the other. The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD." The nave and the sanctuary each had a double door. Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other. Also there were carved on them, on the doors of the nave, cherubim and palm trees like those carved on the walls; and there was a threshold of wood on the front of the porch outside. There were latticed windows and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the porch; thus were the side chambers of the house and the thresholds. Bible Art

How true this is. You can put lipstick and earrings on a pig but inwardly they're still a pig so Peter writes that "the hidden person of the heart" is precious to God and the "imperishable beauty of a gentle and quite spirit" to God is "very precious" and that's all that matters eternally. We'll all get new bodies someday anyway and so why should we be so preoccupied with what we look like when God only cares about what we are like on the inside?

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar. The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth. Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge. ...
When Samuel was seeking who would be the king of Israel, He had all of Jesse's sons pass before him and time after time, Samuel thought that surely one of these young men would be the next king. Some were tall and muscular but that was not God's standard. Jesse didn't call David who was what we might call the "runt of the litter" but God said that He looks not on the outward appearance but what is inside. He doesn't have regard for what a person's looks are like but He looks at the heart because the most important attributes of a person are never what we see but the things we don't see and what we cannot see, God can. That's all that really matters.
And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns. People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns. As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample. Bible Art

In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him. Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king. And the king said to them, "I had a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream." Then the Chaldeans said to the king in Aramaic, "O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation." The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "The word from me is firm: if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be torn limb from limb, and your houses shall be laid in ruins. ...

Great location, great view!
We rented this property so we can meet with friends and family from different locations in US and Europe! The terrace overlooking the sea was roomy and great for gathering with our friends and family who stayed at other nearby locations! The sun was hot in the afternoon but the shade of the terrace at that time of day allowed us to be able to spend time outside overlooking the water. The house is steps away from the beach! The village is not touristy which we loved as we had a genuine Italian experience! We walked to the town and there were many great and inexpensive Italian restaurants with great food. There is a nearby beach restaurant where there was a live band steps away from our place.
The house is roomy and can easily accommodate a few families with children. We could watch the sunrise from our terrace and the view of the Eolian islands was amazing!
The owners were very responsive to our needs and the house is very nicely decorated with locally sourced ceramic pottery and beautiful furniture.
I highly recommend this location even though it was 2 hours away from the airport.
We feel we had a genuine Italian experience in this lively village close to Patti!
I recommend the shoe store in San Giorgio as well. The owner catered to us and has a great selection of Italian made shoes for men women and children at great prices.
The Number One restaurant which is a 10-minute walk was great for sea food , pasta and pizza. They worked with us to accommodate a large number of people.
The village is lively with many evening e events, live music, children attractions and great gelato.
We hope to return to this house and village in a few years!
Near the beach
If you're looking for good and nearby access to the beach, this is the place. It's literally 150 meters to the waters edge. This town is not as touristy as others and we felt we were with the locals (which we enjoyed). Our Italian language skills were minimal but everyone we encountered was nice as we communicated. As a previous reviewer said, there are some good restaurants within walking distance. We happened to stay over a weekend and one of the restaurants featured karaoke on a Friday night. The place was full and lively. If you're going to Sicily for the sight seeing, this place is about 2 hours from Palermo and about 2 hours from Catania. Cefalu is about 1 hour away. Driving to the Valley of the Temples is a little less than a 3 hour drive. The villa was comfortable and is actually like a duplex with a large shared patio. Each unit has a kitchen. This worked out perfectly for us as our friends stayed in one half and we stayed in the other and we each had our own privacy. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as we were looking to relax at this point in our vacation here. I would suggest to Graziella to invest in a conventional coffee pot (for the Americans). However, we made do with the small one. One of the kitchens had no supplies while the other was fully stocked. We moved a few things back and forth between kitchens to equalize things out. Although the description says there is a pool, there is not. Graziella let us know immediately after booking that they were trying to obtain the permits for a pool in time for our visit. We didn't see any evidence of a pool being started, but we didn't care since the beach was so close. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and Graziella was very nice and waited for us upon our very late arrival. We enjoyed the canolies!
Great location, just 50 meters from the sea
The property has a greater location. It is indeed just 50 meters from the beautiful and clean beach. We were there in August and even in the high season there are not that many people on the beach. The property itself is in the nice garden in the secluded area with no neighbors wisible from the house. House is simple but has all necessary amenities. But we spent most of the tome on a spacious veranda overlooking garden and the sea with a breathtaking view on the voulcanic islands. The property at the end of a small town that has all necessities: supermarket, pharmacy , etc.
The only thing you should be aware of is that the train goes really close st the back of the house, but the tragic is really low it only comes about 6 time a day.
We want to thank our woundeful hosts Graziella and Emanuelle for their hospitality and great vacation time full of tranquility, sun and beautiful sea.
It has been a pleasure spending time here with our friends from Canada. The villa beatifully decorated and comfortable. The garden is charming with views of the sea, the islands and mountains. We had many happy hours watching the sea, relaxing and enjoying Giuseppe's stories, italian and cooking lessons. We felt very welcome here in S. Giorgio and it is with sadness that we leave this beautiful place and the wonderful people we had met. Mille Grazie per tutto. Martha from Canada.
Stunning place, wonderful villa, beautiful view...
Dear all,
thank you for a lovely stay. We enjoyed the villa and the terrace and garden are the best! The views and the sandy beach were amzing, the sea fantastic!
Stay at Villa just right for whole extended family
We booked this villa as it was the right size for extended family (us, our 2 married daughters and partners and 3 young grandchildren), it had a large garden and next to the beach with no busy road (only a track). We were able to view it on Google. We were not disappointed - it had all the right facilities and the beach location was just right for the three grandchildren (4, 5 and 7). There is no wifi but we knew this and have a Vodafone wifi 3G (Myfi) device and for 15€ for 7GB (Italian SIM) could connect all the adults to their seemingly essential devices for our stay! The house even has its own pet tortoise. The house was clean / tidy and met the description. We were met by the owners at the motorway junction to guide us to the house. 10-15 mins walk are 2 - 3 restaurants (not expensive) and an ice-cream shop. There is a reasonable size supermarket (but no fresh fish) and a very good bakers shop.
Recommended if you have a large family group (3 double bedrooms, 2 twin bedrooms). You will need to bring all supplies (bottle of water, loo rolls and salt provided). Cooking facilities OK. Small washing machine very useful. Only think lacking is a dishwasher.
Also flexible with dates - wanted Saturday - Monday (10 days) and we were accommodated. A train line runs nearby but this is not noisy and 2 grandsons rushed out to look at Italian trains, and went on them, from the local station which is within walking distance (tickets from shop not station).
Have a good stay.
Not far, and therefore reachable with a short walk, there is the lively small town of San Giorgio of Gioiosa Marea, in the past a fishermen's village. Here you will find several bars, pizza parlours and restaurants where you can taste the typical specialities of the island. In San Giorgio there is also a great supermarket, while the banks are in Patti Marina (3 kilometres from the Villa). In this place there are wonderful sandy beaches and many places to see: we recommend trips to the Cathedral of Patti (4 Km from the Villa), to the the villa Romana with precious mosaics of Patti Marina (3.5 Km), to the ancient Greco-Romano city of Tyndaris (8 Km). Also take a nature walk around the national park of Marinello (10 Km) with its salt lakes sandy dunes and spectacular scenery, excursion can be made to Aeolian islands from Patti M.
(3 Km), to the medieval castle of Milazzo (30 Km), to Greek theatre of Taormina (100 Km), to the medieval town of Montalbano Elicona (20 Km).
