PackerChatters started in 1995 as a message board for Packers fans. Back then the site was hosted by Royles Communications which is now Packer Report. Pmom (Sue) then came up with the idea to have our own website and today we are one of the top Green Bay Packers websites offering news and information, fan interactivity and much more not only for Packer fans but all NFL fans.
From the very start PackerChatters has been privately funded. There have been suggestions at times to solicit or require donations. We have consistently felt that keeping the website private property means we can determine our own editorial and moderating standards without debate.
If you like a lot of intelligent, non-confrontational football talk join us in our Forums.

Humans have made many exciting developments over the course of history. One development that is hard to believe is painting pictures with sound. "Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves the use of a small transducer (probe) and ultrasound gel to expose the body to high-frequency sound waves" (General).
These sound waves cannot be heard by the human ear, and don't have the potential to cause bodily harm such as the ionizing rays of an X-ray might cause. These sound waves are able to be compiled into visual images of internal organs and what is inside them. One of the common uses of sonograms is to check on a developing fetus in a pregnant woman. At first, these images were two-dimensional. Further technological advances allowed for three-dimensional images to be constructed based on location of the sound waves, but scientist weren't done yet. Modern technology supports the use of "four-dimensional ultrasounds", the fourth dimension being motion. This enables expecting parents and their doctors to be able to see the fetus' motion in current time. Through many studies, this has been shown to have a profound psychological impact on pregnant females. An ultrasound with a positive outcome can help reduce situational anxiety in women, which is the anxiety they experience in the context of being concerned about the fetus. However, ultrasounds can have a negative effect by increasing maternal anxiety if something appears to be wrong with the fetus. Increased anxiety is not healthy for expectant mothers because hormonal changes are causing a high amount of mood fluctuations as it is. Ultrasounds can also have the positive effect of increasing maternal-fetal attachment. I am studying how ultrasounds work and the psychological impact of ultrasounds on pregnant females in order to determine how these ultrasounds effect maternal-fetal attachment and maternal anxiety, two very important psychological factors in the success of pregnancy.
Typically, ultrasounds show a healthy fetus, enabling the expectant mother to relax. This was proven in a study carried out by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. "Anxiety levels were measured before and after ultrasound examination in 183 women who underwent the procedure as part of their routine prenatal care…. The results indicated significant reductions in state or situational anxiety levels for all subjects" (Zlotogorski). These women all showed that things were going as expected, causing their anxiety levels to decrease.
There are many sonogram outcomes that can be anxiety-producing. For example, a woman may discover she is pregnant with multiples, up to seven or eight fetuses at once. "With multiple pregnancies, a reduction of embryos is often suggested" (Extraordinary). It typically causes distress for women to choose between voluntarily terminating some fetuses but not others, or risk losing some, or all, of the fetuses. They risks and benefits have to be carefully weighed, as well as the emotional factors. Before ultrasound technology, women wouldn't know how many children they were having until delivery, so this anxiety-producing situation was averted in such pregnancies. Another stressful situation for the mother is if it is discovered that the fetus has some difficulty such as a heart defect or physical distinction. Although this can be helpful from a prenatal treatment perspective, the emotional trauma on the mother can be so devastating that she changes eating or other heath patterns, and causes further damage to the fetus.
Another positive psychological effect of ultrasounds for pregnant women is that an opportunity to see their fetus before birth, which was not previously available as an option. This can greatly increase maternal-fetal attachment, which typically causes greater mother-child attachment after the birth. Additionally, the technology of three-dimensional ultrasounds (3DUS) has had an even greater impact on mothers than the traditional two-dimensional ultrasounds (2DUS), on this bond. A 2005 research study conducted by radiologists from six universities around the globe was able to support this theory. "3DUS appears to more positively influence the perceptions of mothers to their babies post birth compared to 2DUS. Specifically, mothers who had 3DUS showed their ultrasound images to a greater number of people compared to mothers who had 2DUS alone and this may represent mother's social support system. 3DUS may have a greater impact on the maternal-fetal bonding process" (Ji).
"Ultrasound Scan is frequently used in people's everyday life…. The use of this new technology… turned out to be much wider than many once expected in the first ten years of the invention of this device" (Wu). It is clear that ultrasound scanning can have important positive psychological impacts on expectant mothers, including increasing maternal-fetal attachment and reducing anxiety levels. Although it can increase anxiety if there is a complication with the fetus, this is helpful for prenatal health in the aggregate because problems can be addressed at an early stage.

"Hayabusa" is the Japanese word for "peregrine falcon." For those who don't know, peregrine falcons are just about the baddest birds on the planet. They hunt other bird from way above, spotting their prey in mid-flight. When they set their sights on some unsuspecting dove, they go into a steep dive, during which they can hit speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour (that's not a typo, look it up!), and they smash into their prey mid-air, killing and defeathering the victim in one fell swoop. That's pretty much the definition of badass. You can be almost as badass as a peregrine falcon when you get into some Hayabusa fight gear and apparel! Hayabusa is committed to bringing you the best possible fight gear, allowing you to fulfill your potential as a potential champion, whether at the gym or in the cage. Hayabusa's designs reflect the ancient Japanese code of Bushido; they view their fight gear as the weapons and armor of the modern day Samurai, and their careful attention to detail makes this plainly visible. One look at their Japanese-inspired designs and you know you're strapping into some serious gear. The clean, bare-leather look of their Kanpeki series offers a no-compromise, take-no-prisoners alternative to more flashy styles, while their Pro-Training series pads are some of the lightest we've ever had the pleasure of working with… seriously, the Pro-Training Thai pads are AWESOME pieces. We know of at least one former UFC champ who wouldn't hit pads without his trusty Hayabusa 16oz gloves. Hayabusa makes absolutely beautiful, functional equipment and apparel for mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and submission grappling, you really can't go wrong with any of their stuff. Check out MMA Industry's huge selection of Hayabusa gear, it's time to get serious about your training!

It's a great time for paleontology. I know, I'm the first guy to say "It's always a great time for paleontology" but believe me, this time, it's a great time for Paleontology!
In the last few weeks, we've made incredible leaps and bounds in our understanding of the natural world. Scientists in Canada, Australia, and Japan successfully cloned blood protein from a Siberian Wooly Mammoth, bringing us one step closer to successfully cloning an extinct animal (The Pyrenean Ibex, an extinct goat, was cloned in 2009, but did not survive.) Scientists are optimistic, some predicting oogenesis (living embryos) in the next two years, and giant fuzzy elephants in zoos in less than five years!
I know, right? But sit down, there's more.

"More Stars Than There Are In Heaven," boasted the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer slogan in the 1940s, and those stars never shone brighter than in the glorious movie musicals produced by Arthur Freed.
The list of artists that Freed discovered, nourished or championed is astonishing. He helped shape the careers of Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra, Vincente Minnelli, Lena Horne, June Allyson, Esther Williams, Howard Keel, Cyd Charisse, Ann Miller, Jane Powell and Stanley Donen, among dozens of others. Freed produced more than 45 films under his legendary "Freed Unit," which in essence was a production company within MGM. He assembled an amazing array of talent—writers, composers, lyricists, directors, choreographers and designers—and gave them the freedom and the resources to dream up lavish and original musicals. The result was some of the most magical, memorable and innovative musical films of all time, including Meet Me in St. Louis, Easter Parade, On the Town, Show Boat, The Band Wagon and Singin' in the Rain.
Freed started on the MGM lot as a songwriter with his collaborator, Nacio Herb Brown, and you'll hear many of their songs in our lineup. After writing the scores for films including The Broadway Melody and Going Hollywood, he got his first assignment as an associate producer on The Wizard of Oz. It was Freed who hired Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg and then suggested that they write a ballad to act as a transition between Kansas and Oz. The studio wanted to cut the song, but Freed insisted it stay in the picture. In 1940 "Over the Rainbow" won the Oscar for Best Song. Three other songs from MGM musicals produced by Freed won Oscars and two of his films, An American in Paris and Gigi, won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Being a lyricist himself, Freed revered songwriters, and so it's no wonder that the movies he produced are filled with songs by a veritable Who's Who of the American Songbook—George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein, Harold Arlen, E. Y. Harburg, Burton Lane, Johnny Mercer, Alan Jay Lerner, Arthur Schwartz, Betty Comden and Adolph Green—all of whom are represented in our program.
The words "MGM Musical" conjure up images as clear and potent for us today as they did in the heyday of the Freed Unit. We imagine skipping down a yellow brick road, jumping onto a lamppost while singin' in the rain, dancing on the ceiling, strolling down Fifth Avenue in Easter finery, celebrating the night they invented champagne or going out on the town with three sailors on leave in New York, New York. The remarkable and timeless films of the Freed Unit still have the ability to charm and delight us and to transport us to musical heaven. Now that's entertainment.

RALEIGH -- The N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is seeking input from residents in Caswell, Currituck, Granville, Rockingham and Warren counties concerning treatment options for the non-native, highly destructive gypsy moth.
Field monitoring activities conducted by the department in 2012 determined that reproducing populations of the gypsy moth exist in these counties and represent a threat to hardwood trees. Residents in or near the proposed treatment areas have been sent notices by mail.
The following meetings are scheduled:
The department has addressed spot introductions of the gypsy moth in several areas across North Carolina since the 1970s. The department is working with nine other states through the Gypsy Moth Slow the Spread Foundation Inc. and with other state and federal agencies to reduce the expansion of the gypsy moth into uninfested areas of the state.
In early spring, gypsy moth caterpillars feed on the leaves of hundreds of plant species, predominantly hardwood trees. In heavily infested areas, trees may be completely stripped of foliage, leaving entire forests more susceptible to attacks from other pests.
Gypsy moths can also be a nuisance to the general public. Caterpillars may migrate in search of food, sometimes entering houses and ending up in swimming pools. Some people can have allergic reactions to the caterpillars' tiny hairs.
Options for dealing with gypsy moth infestations include aerial spraying of biological pesticides and aerial applications of gypsy moth mating disruptants. Trapping grids are used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.

Tips on Techniques and Equipment Selection for Field Repair
Executive Summary:
Selecting the proper engine driven welding generators, plasma cutters and other associated repair tools will help you prevent downtime by fixing repairs right the first time.
- Engine drives expertly run plasma cutters and offer great carbon arc gouging capabilities.
- Bobcat welding generators provide superior Stick welding performance.
- Welding generators with a constant voltage (CV) output are ideal for flux cored welding.
- Welding generators eliminate need for stand-alone generators, saving space for other tools on service trucks.
Five Tips for Field Repair
Equipment repair eats at your bottom line worse than abrasive sandstone at an excavator bucket. Every minute your machine is down to replace teeth or digging edges is a minute of lost time, and minutes turn into hours. While sometimes necessary, you can minimize downtime by having the knowledge and the right equipment on-hand to cut, prep and weld damaged and worn sections of steel quickly. From teeth and dozer blades to larger items such as dump truck beds and equipment trailers, preparation when unsuspected failures occur—which includes having the right engine-driven welding generator on your maintenance truck—makes the difference between a profitable day and a day of lost profits.
Step 1: Cut out Broken Steel with Oxy-fuel, Plasma or Carbon Arc Gouging
The first step in repairing any broken piece of steel is cutting out the damaged piece. Most contractors have oxy-fuel equipment readily available for cutting, brazing, soldering and preheating weld surfaces. Gaining in popularity, plasma cutters offer lightweight portability and efficiently run off most engine-driven welding generators, cutting up to 3/4 in., with 10,000 watts or more generator power. Engine-driven welding generators also feature carbon arc gouging as an option, though capacity varies greatly between units of different size. Each option can work, some faster or better depending on the specific situation. Most contractors use what they have, including a combination of processes.
When repairing the damaged section, make sure to remove all rough edges to ensure proper fit up with the replacement piece, which ensures faster repairs. Whether flux cored or Stick welding, grind and remove any rust or oils that exist where the two pieces are to be joined. While Stick and flux cored welding are somewhat forgiving of an unclean surface, any contaminates may negatively affect penetration and lead to cracking or lack of fusion. Extra time spent on grinding and cleaning before prevent costly failures later.
|For running tools like this grinder, Miller's diesel engine-driven welding generators feature 5,500 to 20,000 watts of generator power, depending on the model.
Step 2: Match and Cut Replacement Steel
Constructed out of abrasion resistant steel, your engaging tools (demolition grapples, excavator buckets, etc.) should be replaced with an exact match in strength. Other components might be constructed of different alloys. Each application varies in terms of level of hardness, wear, resistance and tensile strength, so consult your equipment dealer and stock up on the matching steel. An exact match guarantees weld quality and longevity. A steel of lesser strength leads to premature failure and more downtime.
Cut your steel to its required size and bevel the edges at about a 30-degree angle. This angle allows for better penetration and is done effectively with an oxy-fuel or plasma cutting system. Don't bevel the entire edge; leave a small portion, about a nickel's width, at the bottom of the groove to support the heat of the arc.
Step 3: Preheat to Eliminate Cracking
Fit the replacement piece into place and double check for any improper gaps and/or dirt, which can weaken the weld. After achieving proper fit, preheat the welding surface using your oxy-fuel torch outfitted with a special "rosebud" tip that widens the flame. This preheating removes hydrogen that leads to cracking caused when an extremely hot welding arc is applied to a cold piece of steel. Preheating temperatures (250 degrees F is common temperature) vary based on the material welded. Consult your welding supplier for specific heating instructions. Use a temp stick, sometimes referred to as a heat crayon, to check the heat. This marking changes colors at different temperatures and lets you know when a specific temperature range is reached. Now, it's time to weld.
Step 4: Electrode Selection and Welding Technique
Stick welding remains the most popular process for field repair, as it requires less equipment and decreases the effect of wind.
Common electrodes used in Stick welding are 6010, 6011, 6013, 7018 and 7024 (each has specific properties) in diameters from 1/8- to 5/32-in. Depending on the abrasion resistance of your steel, you might even want an electrode with a higher tensile strength, such as 11018-MH4R. Each of these electrodes offer all-position welding capabilities (except 7024) and provides compatibility with the high tensile strength steels you encounter in the field. Consult your welding supplier for specific recommendations if you are unsure.
A basic and general sequence may be as follows: Start out by making a root pass with a smaller diameter (1/8 in.) electrode. Popular for the first pass, a 6010 electrode lends a measure of flexibility at this stage of weld, and works well on open-root joints. Make the next passes with a larger diameter (5/32 in.) rod to deposit weld metal faster, as well as a rod with different properties. For example, a 7018 rod is popular for its high strength. Make repeated passes until completion, and always remember to grind away the slag (protective flux coating) in between each pass.
Step 5: Select a Welding System
Selecting the right machine is based largely on the diameter of electrodes used. A 1/8 in. electrode welds at up to about 145 amps, while a 5/32 in. rod experiences optimal performance at perhaps 180 amps. Therefore, a welding generator with a 100 percent duty cycle at 250 amps, such as Miller's Bobcat™ 250, offers more than enough welding power to fill most Stick welding needs. The Bobcat's Tri-Cor™ technology, improves 7018 performance with a smoother finish and less spatter, making these machines ideal for field repair.
If you carbon arc gouge on a regular basis, you need to size your machine to the carbon diameter you want to run. As an example, for maximum gouging performance, the Bobcat 250 provides 275 amps for 3/16-in. carbon, Miller's Big Blue® 400 is rated at 5/16-in. carbons and its Big Blue® Air Pak is rated for 1/2-in. carbons.
|For heavy duty service trucks, no other unit matches the versatility the Big Blue Air Pak deluxe model: 750 amps of multiprocess welding power, 20,000 watts of generator power, 100 PSI at 60 CFM (enough compressed air for two arcs, as shown here) and battery charging/jump starting capabilities.
If you perform field repairs with the flux cored process, a welding generator with constant voltage (CV) output provides far superior wire welding performance than a constant current (CC) machine. A CV output is also necessary for short circuit MIG welding for general fabrication. Amperage requirements vary based on the type and diameter of wire you are using, but 250 to 350 amps is sufficient for most applications.
Welding manufacturers also reduced the physical size of machines, made them quieter and added more capabilities for maintenance trucks. Most contractors benefit from the dual welding/power generation functions of engine drives like the Bobcat 250. These machines save space on your maintenance truck by eliminating the need for a stand alone generator, as they have the power to run your grinders, drills, chop saws, lights, air compressors (to run air tools) and even microwaves to heat up your lunch. The Bobcat provides 10,000 watts of Accu-Rated' generator power (Accu-Rated means that you get 10,000 watts of usable peak power. This especially helps when starting motors under load).
The Bobcat 250 design directs airflow out of the top of the machine, eliminating the chance of airflow being blocked when the unit is truck mounted and decreasing the chances of hot air re-entering the unit. This design ultimately lowers internal component temperature and extends the life of the machine. This problem has plagued some truck-mounted units in the past.
|Service truck owners select the Bobcat 250 more than any other welding generator. A newly redesigned airflow keeps the unit running cool, even when mounted in restricted spaces.
Some welding generators in the 250 amp class, including the Bobcat 250, can be ordered with a battery charging option that replaces the AC welding output (rarely used for repairing heavy equipment). While this option adds about $500 to the purchase price, a battery charger is worth its weight in gold if it prevents downtime.
For heavy-duty repairs and space savings on maintenance trucks, fleet managers consider an option like the Big Blue Air Pak. This unit features a welder, generator and an air compressor (a built-in rotary screw compressor from Ingersoll-Rand that generates 100 PSI at 60 CFM). The "deluxe" version offers a battery charging option so powerful it jumpstarts equipment with 24-volt batteries; the unit also delivers 20,000 watts of generator power when not welding.
Look at how much space you have on your maintenance truck(s), weigh your needs and make your selection between smaller and larger engine drives. Some contractors opt to designate a portion of their trucks as "general maintenance trucks" and equip them with smaller engine drives, while designating others as "heavy duty repair trucks" and equip them with more powerful and versatile units.
Spending time now to investigate engine drive options will save you time when it counts most: when a critical piece of machinery sits idle waiting to be fixed. Using the tips outlined here—and the right engine drive for the application—will guarantee that your critical machinery starts making money for you sooner than later when field repair is necessary.<-->

Rush Partner with French Football Federation
Rush Soccer is pleased to announce a ground-breaking and far-reaching agreement with Members of the French Football Federation. The agreement will bring together the organization responsible for the management and development of French Coaches (UNECATEF) and the 28 Rush Technical Directors, 2000 Coaches and 35000 players.
With this new relationship the Rush Organization will be able to draw from the resources and expertise of a Worldwide Recognized Organization that has produced some of the best coaches and players during the past twenty years. Rush believes in learning from others and providing the best available teaching curriculum to its coaches throughout its network. Teaming up with an organization that already went through this long educational process, ultimately producing World Cup-winning coaches and players, will provide invaluable help to the Members of the Rush Organization, developing a unique curriculum, that will impact Rush coaches of all levels.
The Plan calls for French Coaches to come and work locally with Rush Technical Directors and Coaches throughout the USA. It will start this coming April 2012, with half a dozen members of the Unecatef, visiting with the three Rush Academy Clubs. The program will then be expanded later into the year to all Rush Clubs wishing to participate. A series of lectures and seminars will then be organized for Rush Technical Directors and Coaches at the French Technical Center in Clairefontaine nearby Paris.
(Click here for a statement from François Blaquart, Technical Director of French Football Federation and Mr. Joel Muller, President of UNECATEF)
Such an agreement reflects the complementary aspirations of the two organizations.
On one hand, the French Organization wishes to promote its "savoir-faire" and expertise in one part of the world where it might not be as recognized as it may be in Europe, Asia and Africa. On the other hand, Rush Soccer wishes to strengthen its coaching education and player development, learning from the experience of others and spreading this acquired knowledge throughout its network.
Commenting on the agreement, Jérôme de Bontin - Chairman of Rush Soccer, said the following: "Rush Soccer believes in embracing all aspects of the game of soccer. The Organization has clubs that compete at the highest level of the US Soccer Academy programs. It also comprises a majority of Clubs focusing on Grass Root Soccer, providing a lasting and fun experience to young players, boys and girls, of all ages. Two themes that are common to all our clubs is "player development" and the recognition that player development's first requirement is "coach development". Better coaches will produce better players. One of the Rush Board of Director's responsibilities is to help its coaches improve, and to provide them with the best resources to achieve that goal. I believe that this Agreement will provide the very best resources to our coaching staff and will help us reach our goals faster."
Tim Schulz - President and Founder of Rush Soccer sharing the same enthusiasm and added about the Agreement: "The is a very good step for Rush Soccer. I was a fan of the French Football Federation's long-term vision and infrastructure. I think it is the best in the world. It will be nice to tap into their history and expertise. To date, this is without a doubt the best partnership we have had since the inception of the Club's forming."

- people in the U.S. have this name View Hugh Wenglare on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
From an Old French name, Hugues, Hugo, of Germanic (Frankish) origin, derived from hug 'heart, mind, spirit'. It was originally a short form of various compound names containing this element. This was borne by the aristocracy of medieval France, adopted by the Normans, and introduced by them to Britain. It was consistently one of the most popular boys' names in the Middle Ages in England, but fell out of favour in the 16th century until it was revived in the 20th century. Little Hugh of Lincoln was a child supposed in the Middle Ages to have been murdered by Jews in about 1255, a legend responsible for several outbursts of anti-Semitism at various times. The story is referred to by Chaucer in The Prioress's Tale. He is not to be confused with St Hugh of Lincoln (1140–1200), bishop of Lincoln (1186–1200), who was noted for his charity and good works, his piety, and his defence of the Church against the State. Since the later Middle Ages Hugh has also been used as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Aodh.

As for the Jets fans, your rebuild starts now. Don't worry about what you lost. This is only about what you gained; cap room and at least a first round pick. Draft correctly and you'll come out ahead. And, also, I hate your team.
As for the Jets fans, your rebuild starts now. Don't worry about what you lost. This is only about what you gained; cap room and at least a first round pick. Draft correctly and you'll come out ahead. And, also, I hate your team.
Good now the Jets have 2 first round picks to screw up....love it.
Hot sauce any one?
The Jets are making a big mistake. They already are not a very good team. Now, they lose their best player.
You watch, the jets, who are all about making TV hoopla come draft time, are going to trade down, and get many picks. At least, that is what you should be thinking anyways, particularly in this draft and with non-conference teams with two first rd. picks along with SF and their 31/33
I'm SHOCKED at the no guaranteed money. It makes me LOL even more at the Jets.
Die hard Dolphins and Devils fan.
There comes a point where a player holds him team hostage from being able to build successfully. While Revis was great and MIGHT return to form, he's not worth that kind of money. The game is changing. 1 shutdown corner is not enough in today's league. They'll just throw to the 3 or 4 other open targets on the field.
Can Revis cover Gronk? Hernandez? Keller? WR2, WR3 and WR4 while also covering WR1?
The landscape in our division and the NFL is changing. Revis is great. But he's not worth $16M to your defense. Especially when the positions you ask to cover the other receivers on the field are filled with cheap bodies to offset the money distribution.
I'd also like to point out if we had made this deal, FinHeaven would be shut down right now by the sheer volume of rants. Anyone who thinks this was a great contract, imagine we just signed him.
Good move by the Jets, top teams do not pay $16 million a year for a CB.
GB wouldn't do it. Pitt wouldn't do it. Pats wouldn't do it. Giants wouldn't do it. Ravens wouldn't do it. It makes no sense.
Fortunately - the Jets still have a long way to go to get back to solid ball.....
1. Fire GM - done.
2. Fire Ryan - not done.
3. Fire Sparano - done.
4. Trade Revis - done.
5. Cut Tebow - not done.
6. Trade/Cut Sanchez - not done.
7. Draft new QB - not done.
8. Draft WR, TE, LB's, etc....
The Jets got the going rate for a cornerback...a cupla picks.
Lousy value but pass defense was hardly the Jets' overriding weakness, even without Revis for much of the season. They were second in the league in completion percentage at 53.8% and 6th in yards per attempt at 6.5. Sensible move by Tampa Bay, which allowed a pathetic 7.9.

Comments about The TEMPUR®-Contour Select Mattress by Tempur-Pedic®:
A luxury feel and a good night sleep. It's a bit expensive but it's worth every penny, and I do not regret my purchase. My neck and back are not aching when I wake up (like they used to be when I had the previous mattress - also some kind of memory foam mattress.) There is something quite different in how the Tempur mattress really shapes to your body when you sleep that other (alternative) memory foam mattress still can't do. My guess is Tempur must have good quality control in their production (made in USA) and do not cut corner to use cheap material for either the foam cores or netting covers. I believe things made in USA (or at least, not Made in China) have better quality.
Overall, a very luxury relaxing feel for your bedtime and a well rest feel for your wake-up time. I should have just purchased a Tempur mattress from the beginning.
(By the way, I'm a real customer in Maryland and not a Tempur store employee. I just got this mattress like 2 weeks ago when it was at introductory pricing.)

Business valuation should be considered a starting point for buyers and sellers. The more informed the parties in a transaction are, the better the likelihood of a good deal.
Of course, each party has different motivations, but fair market value is the price a seller will accept and a buyer will pay.
Only the right buyer will pay the right price.
– Christopher George, President & CEO of George and Company and Central Business Brokers
When you come to George and Company and Central Business Brokers for business appraisals, we start by asking you to provide us with a number of items that will aid us in developing a value for your company. The most important information we will request are financial records and documentation.
In most instances we will ask you for a minimum of three years of tax returns and/or financial statements. Due to the fact that financial statements are typically a more accurate picture of your company's financial position, emphasis may be placed on these documents.
Other important information includes the history and description of the company, the competition, and the local economic conditions surrounding your business' location, or the global economic conditions if your business trades on a global scale.
All those things will have an influence on where your company is, the direction your company is going, and what the overall value of your organization is. We strongly believe that complete business appraisals and valuations lead to the successful closing of a deal.
Any financial documents and information forwarded to us remains confidential.

Polyphasic sleep refers to any pattern where your sleep is taken in more than one chunk. Spanish siestas are an example of this, and Spain has the only culture I know of that is not generally monophasic. Other, more unusual polyphasic patterns are those involving multiple naps per day, and sometimes no large chunk of sleep at all.
I became interested in polyphasic sleep some years back but only recently did I realize that here at Instructables, I had an organization that might allow me to experiment with different sleep patterns. Instructables is ALL ABOUT weird shit like this. So I and my boyfriend are making the attempt.
The pattern we are using is to nap for 20 to 30 minutes every four hours, throughout the day. (This is sometimes referred to as the Uberman pattern, although personally I dislike this term.) This comes out to about 2 - 3 hours of sleep per day, broken up into bits. The theory behind it is that after a week or so of sleep deprivation and general bleariness, your body adjusts to the short but regular naps and goes directly into REM sleep. Thus after a while you are getting enough sleep and feel fully rested - but you have an extra 5 or 6 hours every day to do Stuff in.
In this Instructable I'll document my experiences with polyphasic sleep. I'll write one step a day for a while, and once I settle into the pattern - if I settle into the pattern - I will add a step occasionally as something interesting occurs to me.
Google Search in case you want more Internet-style information.
I'm going for 30 days and logging the whole experiment on my website. After that point, I'll decide whether I want to do polyphasic sleep long term or not. I hope my post is helpful for those wanting to try polyphasic sleep themselves and a good read for those simply curious about polyphasic sleep.

l normally go to bed at 2am, but when I'm busy or tired 1, so roughly 4 to 5 hours of sleep, but when I set my alarm, I'm waking up every hour to look at my alarm. It's suppose to wake me up, but I can't even sleep because I'm making sure the alarm is working. I then end up waking up 30 mins before the alarm goes off and literary laying in bed counting down for the alarm to go off.
So alarms, I might have to reconsider using them, for quality of sleep, though I don't wake up tried when I'm up all night checking on it, it's just I enjoy sleeping.
Large amount of sleep (10+ hours): I have an extremely hard time getting out of bed, even if I can't fall back asleep. By bed time, I crash like a kamikaze plane.
Normal amount of sleep: (8-9 hours): Still sleepy, yawning all day, by bed time I'm wide awake.
Slightly below normal (6-7 hours): I feel great. Slightly sluggish for 20 minutes, but throughout the day, I'm perky.
Very below normal (3-4 hours): I can easily wake up, though my balance and depth perception are still slumbering. Some issues keeping my mind on tasks, but I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed all day. Hard to fall back asleep at bed time.
Abnormal (-3 hours): Crap crap crap crap. Extremely difficult getting out of bed, can't stop yawning all day. Anything that requires thinking becomes impossible. I want to sleep all day, then when I get ready for bed, I'm buzzing around like I'm on coffee.
All-nighter (no sleep): Extreme waves of wide awake and damn near dead, depending on what I'm doing. I pull all-nighters a lot when my sleep schedule gets screwed up, so I'm more used to this than anything.
Also, I can't take naps. If I'm well-rested, trying to sleep is impossible unless I'm *completely* relaxed (read: never). If I manage to lie down and catch some z's, I refuse to wake up for another 5+ hours, and then I'm wide awake. Hence why my sleep schedule gets screwed up and I'm used to all-nighers, haha.

I'll keep putting it on for some short easy rides and try to get more used to it. Dont throw this thing on and head for your nastiest singletrack w/ massive butt puckering downhills, trust me.

Comments On Feb 23, 2015:I have a bad habit of resting my foot on the brake pedal causing the rear brake to overheat and fade. I installed this and left the factory spring in place for extra resistance. Works good for me, helped alot with my problem
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 26, 2014:Did not like how kit installed. poor design
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 26, 2014:I tend to have a heavy foot when it comes to braking, so I'm using this in conjunction with the stock spring.
The extra resistance helps me modulate the rear brake a lot better, instead of being on/off with just the stock spring alone.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 13, 2014:This is a great little part. Much cleaner than stock. Just make sure you get the spring installed the right direction. It has a slight taper. Just follow the directions and your set!

Comments On Apr 12, 2014:Great fit - excellent performance
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 04, 2013:I bought after a friend told me about this and am very happy, it adds a lot more control over your braking in the rear. I say it helps Japanese bikes because after riding KTM bikes for years I can tell you the Brembo brakes they come with are perfect from the factory. Take it from a guy who has tried it all, this is a cheap part to add a lot of performance to your ride.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Oct 25, 2013:The reviews I read indicated that this spring would help reduce the on/off feel of my brake. It did that quite well. Getting to the clutch cover is also easier, because the factory brake return spring can be removed. Overall, I am happy with this product and would buy it again!
