love my bed....
I had this bed for over a year and love it!!!, no complaints....Read More
The mattress is great for about a month and then begins to sag severely. It sucks you into the middle and then is very uncomfortable. The warranty is basically useless because you have to spend hundreds to ship it back without a guarantee of coverage. SAVE YOUR MONEYRead More
I love this mattress
One of the best purchases I've ever made - years later I'm still so glad I made the switch from box spring to memory foam. This mattress especially is the best value on the market I could find.Read More
Short term quality
I loved this mattress when I first got it. I started noticing about 2 1/2 years in that it pulls me into the middle especially when my boyfriend is in bed. This is killing my back. But because it is not 3 inches difference yet the warranty isn't valid. I can't wait another 1.25" for the warranty to kick in. The mattress should last longer than 3 years! So as much as I loved this matress in the begining I would not purchase it again.Read More
Very good quality Foam, I waited quite a long time before writing this review to see just how well it held up. 5 stars is not enough!!!!!!!!!!Read More

No breaking in, comfortable from the first night.
The product I saw online and read about and finally ordered was delivered in a timely manner. I was kept up to date the whole way by e-mails from overstock.com including a final one to confirm that the item had been delivered. The product itself (a 12 inch Memory Gel Mattress) was just as described online. I installed it per the enclosed instructions and enjoyed the advantages of this new type of mattress right away. The very first night I slept better than on my old mattress, no taking a week or more to get used to something different and there were no lines to fall into where buttons had been sown or the feeling of harder places where springs are. I have now been using the mattress for over a month and am completely happy with my choice, I am diabled and my sore spots no longer get worse do to the way I lay on my mattress but I feel very comfortable and the support is amazing without taking away from the soft top, my next step is to get Memory Gel Pillows.Read More
I love this Bed!
I love this Mattress! I had a 10 inch memory foam Mattress in the past when I lived in LA. I hated how hot it slept but loved the comfort factor. No matter what the temperature of the room the mattress was an oven. I think it is so important to note whether each buyer is new to Memory Foam or have had it in the past. People think the cooling-gel means its going to make you sleep cooler than average and that is untrue. For anyone who knows memory foam they know it sleeps hot and adding the cooling-gel brings memory foam back to a normal sleeping temperature. It's comfortable and just right when it comes to firmness. I love this mattress.Read More
I can't get enought of it!!
As most of us are I was very skeptical about buying a mattress online. I did alot of research and from the reviews on this mattress I decided to buy. Shipping was fast and I recieved it in a black bag similar to a sleeping bag cover. I'm assuming it was bagged and shipped within days because it only took 8hrs(with me and my wife sleeping on it) to reach 12". I slept on spring mattresses my whole life so it took me a few nights to adjust to the memory foam. I gotta say, we LOVE it!! It's a medium firmness which is the recommended by doctors for back pain. The only thing i could complain about is the "factory" like smell it gives off which took 3-4 days to fade away. Kinda like a freshly painted house....all in all this is a great product for an AMAZING price! Don't hesitate, sleep better quickly and order.Read More
This mattress is great!
I bought this to replace an innerspring mattress that had started sagging, and I can honestly say, it was the smartest thing I've done in a long time. No more backaches! I It's really soft but at the same time gives very good support. I kept my original box spring and placed this on top of it. After letting it air out for 24 hours, I put a heated mattress pad on it and topped it with a waterproof mattress pad. A coworker has a memory foam mattress and she told me that if you get it wet, it makes the foam clump up, so I figured better safe than sorry. I've had this mattress for several weeks now and I don't know who likes it the most, me or my cat. The only difference between the one I got and the picture is mine has white sides and top. Excellent service by Overstock.com and by UPS, which delivered it. Arrived when it was supposed to and was left outside my door.Read More
This mattress is AWESOME!!!
I absolutely LOVE this mattress. I've never slept better! I used to get backaches every night and also too warm on the conventional mattresses I've had in the past. My body temperature seems to stay consistent throughout the night so the gel must really help with that. My daughter tried it out and I ended up buying her the same mattress. When I was in the market for purchasing a new mattress I talked to several of my friends and many raved about the Tempurpedic brand, which they paid anywhere from $XXXX to $XXXX for. I didn't want to spend that much so started shopping online. This mattress compares to Tempurpedic for 1/3 the price! It also has a very nice cover on it. Shipping was fast and I had it on my frame the next day. I did not notice any smell from the foam. I seriously would recommend this mattress to anyone!Read More
Questions & Answers

Perfect size for my Sonora bed
I accidentally ordered the wrong thickness the first time.
On the product details, it says this mattress is made in the USA, but in this Product Q&A section, it says made in China. Which is it?
Hello mattressbuyer123, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. We will continue to try and answer this for you. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
Can you please post the website link for the manufacture or their contact info, its been about 7 months and our mattress has lost its firmness, we would like to contact someone about this considering it has a 20 yr warranty. I have not been able to find this information online. Thank you.
Hello apa0024, Please contact our Customer Care at 1-800-The-BIG-O (843-2446) for all warranty claims. Thank you for shopping with us.
Where do I find information on what the warranty includes? I purchased this mattress April 2012 and it has not held up very well- there are indentations in both sides from where we sleep, which has never occurred on any other foam mattress I've slept on. It never returns to its density, even after not being in bed all day. It's still squishy when I lie down at night.
Hello kayte726, this product includes a 20 year Limited Manufacturer warranty. Please contact our Customer Care at 1-800-The-BIG-O (843-2446) for all warranty claims. Thank you for shopping with us!
What is the indentation load deflection units (IDL)?
Hello pemoe1, The top 3 inches is 12 ild and the bottom is 20. Have a great day!
where is this mattress manufactured?
Hello bella123456789, we appreciate your inquiry. This mattress was manufactured in China. We hope you have found this information helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have great day!
Can I use this mattress with an adjustable foundation?
Can be used with any conventional box spring or platform foundation. Thank you in assisting with our product.
would you call this mattress firm, medium or soft? I am looking for soft/medium.
Thank you for your question. The firmness of this mattress is medium, because the density is 4 pounds. If you want something a little firmer, go with a 5- or 6-pound density mattress. If you like your bed a little softer, go with the 3-pound memory foam.
I would call it between medium to firm. When you sit on it it does smush down, it's not like sleeping on a board. I love it, I think it has the perfect amount of support.
I can't seem to find where this product is made! Can anyone help me???
Thank you for your interest. We apologize, but where the product is made is usually not posted on the item page unless it was made in the USA. This item was made in China. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
What size and weight is the box that the mattress is shipped in?
Thank you for your question. The ship weight is 73 pounds ad the box dimensions are 22 inches high x 22 inches wide x 65 inches long.
Does this product come with a warranty?
It comes with a 20 year Limited Manufacturer Warranty.
Does this require a box spring; if so, just a regular box spring? If not, does it just rest on any bed frame or does it have to be a platform bed? Is one way or the other recommended for best comfort?
I have a similar mattress....you can use a regular box spring or a platform bed.
You need a box spring with a bed frame. A platform bed is fine. Bed frame and box spring would provide the most comfort.
I use mine with a regular box spring
what is the density of each layer? esp. the base layer?
This is 3.5LB density.

Wakefield scored 29 unanswered points to beat Huddersfield 35-14 and ruin coach Paul Anderson's first match in charge of the Giants.
Anderson was fast-tracked into the role of head coach following the sacking of Nathan Brown but he was unable to halt a run of results that has seen the Giants win just one of their last nine matches.
Ben Cockayne, Dean Collis, Lee Smith, Richie Mathers, Tim Smith and Danny Kirmond crossed as Wakefield rallied from 14-6 down. Luke George grabbed two tries for the Giants with Eorl Crabtree also going over.
Anderson had rung the changes by handing the captaincy to Luke Robinson and recalling five players after the heavy Challenge Cup defeat by Warrington. The re-shuffle looked to have had the desired effect as Huddersfield established an eight-point lead six minutes into the second half but the Wildcats ran in four tries in the last 18 minutes.
It took a mistake for the home side to open the scoring, full-back Scott Grix seizing on a dropped pass by scrum-half Smith just inside his own half and the supporting George, one of six ex-Wakefield men in the Giants line-up, held off Cockayne in a sprint to the line.
Danny Brough's conversion attempt rebounded off an upright and the visitors drew level on 24 minutes when Cockayne raced onto Smith's grubber kick on the last tackle to score his 11th try of the season.
Paul Sykes' goal edged the Wildcats in front and they went close to extending their lead with a thrilling counter-attack. Full-back Richard Mathers released Peter Fox after collecting a kick behind his own line and the former England winger sprinted up to halfway before passing inside to Collis, who was stopped by Lee Gilmour.
Wakefield held onto their lead until the last minute of the first half before George over for his second try of the match and his 14th of the season. Brough again failed with the conversion but the Giants added a third try early in the second half through prop Crabtree.
Wakefield got back into the game when Smith's kick bounced awkwardly for the Giants defence and Collis was on hand to claim the touchdown. The Wildcats hit the front again on 62 minutes when Brough went to intercept a pass by Sykes and gave ex-Leeds centre Smith a clear run-in for his first try for the club.
Six minutes later the Giants failed to prevent a trademark offload from second-rower Ali Lauitiiti as Mathers went over for his side's fourth try and Sykes' third goal made it 22-14. The Giants were in freefall by then and Smith and Kirmond added further tries in the final 10 minutes, with Sykes taking his goal tally to five and adding a drop goal for good measure.

Patrick Leaves The Scrubs on Grey's
Patrick Leaves The Scrubs on Grey's
Patrick was looking younger than ever while back on the set of Made of Honor with his co-star Michelle Monaghan this week. It's nice to see that he's wandering back onto the big screen post-Grey's success, but I'm not sure he can ever match the cinematic masterpiece of Can't Buy Me Love. Masterpiece. Speaking of Grey's, last night was the Big 2 Hour Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice Pilot event. I, for one, am emotionally exhausted (and in a rage at every character on the show). You know, not that I'm emotionally invested or anything.

This is a very timely book on a subject which is most interesting not only to the school physician but also to the general practitioner, and especially to the pediatrician. It is very comprehensive in its scope, touching on many subjects which are not familiar to the average physician.
The work begins with a somewhat general statement on the need of medical supervision, the duties of medical inspectors, nurses, etc., together with samples of records and the methods by which they are kept. This chapter also includes the question of the cooperation of teachers and principals together with the teaching of hygiene, and the inspection of teachers and janitors. We have always regarded this last subject a much neglected phase of school inspection.
The second part has to do with school buildings and grounds, is very complete and well illustrated. It not only has to do with city schools, but

Our company is running Exchange 2003 on Server 2003. Our primary exchange store file (priv1.edb) keeps growing and is now at over 45GB. If I add up the size of the mailboxes in that store I get less than 16GB. I ran an offline defrag but didn't regain even a single KB from the .edb file (the .stm file shrank from 8GB to 2GB). I've also looked up the size of the Recoverable Items using Performance and it seems insignificant (not sure if the display is in bytes or KB, either way it would not account for the discrepancy). How do I find out what is taking up all this space, and more importantly, how do I remove it?
Are you getting good online backups? My guess is that you're not, and as a result you're seeing delete items piling up instead of being cleaned up. That would be consistent with the lack of any decrease in size that you saw with the offline defragmentation.
You can force deleted item retention to delete items even if the Information Store hasn't had a good online backup, but I'd recommend fixing your backups first if that turns out to be the culprit. If you want to try it, untick the "Do not permanently delete mailboxes and items until the store has been backed up" on the "Limits" tab of the Mailbox Store's properties.
Let us know how it turns out.
Look for Event ID 1221 in your Application Event Log. This will tell you how much free 'white space' is in your Exchange DB.
Also see:
Event ID 1221 reports less free space than should be the case
The best solution to strange database issues like this is to create a new, empty store and move mailboxes to it; this achieves the same effect as a full database defragmentation, allows you to check for database corruptions and doesn't create a prolonged downtime for your users.
An offline defrag should reduce your database size. Do you have public folders in the same database that are increasing the size? What is your deleted item retention period set to? Are you including the log size with your EDB file (if so, is it being backed up?)
These are just some things to check into. The most likely culprit is the retention period though.
Some more steps you can take:
How are you backing up? I'm wondering if your backup software isn't setting the correct flags for Exchange to run post backup maintenance.
What happens if you actually run an exchange-aware backup with NTBackup?
If the online maintenance isn't running (not seeing the event log is a sign it isn't) then there will be no space marked for deletion by the offline defrag.
Check that no backup is trying to run during the maintenance periods set. You may have to leave an extended period and disable backups on say a weekend to get a full runthrough if it hasn't happened before.
Once it gets the online maintenance completed, the event log will tell you how much space the offline one will recover.
Thanks to everyone for all your help. What I ended up doing was using exmerge to export each users data (after using auto-archive to bring them down below the 2GB limit, why doesn't exmerge use the newer unicode .psts?), creating a new private store and then using exmerge again to re-import the mailboxes. Unfortunately, this causes outlook to go into recovery mode for each user but at least it worked with a minimum of downtime.
Though becoming depreciated with Exchange 2010, you'll lose the disk-saving capacity of Single Instance Storage by extracting and importing mailboxes with ExMerge.
I tend to add date and folder filters when extracting with ExMerge. Don't forget to ignore Contacts, users get upset when half of them suddenly "go away" due to the export.. ;) Importing "just" the contacts back wasn't too bad, though..
Between the mailbox store teetering around 72G and whitespace inching less and less, I took charge and began exporting mail. Couldn't wait for the users to hit my 73G hedge limit. Now.. offline defrag. Good times!

W&L principal due in court on April 28

Washington & Lee High School Principal Andrea Michelle Roane is due back in Westmoreland County General District Court on April 28 to face charges of driving while intoxicated. A special prosecutor has been selected to try the case.
Roane appeared briefly in court last week after being arrested on DWI charges, as well as two other charges. The 39-year-old W&L principal was charged and held in jail overnight after the Nissan Altima she was driving skidded off the road during a snowstorm just before midnight on February 12.
One of Westmoreland County's highest paid officials, Roane was initially charged with DWI, reckless driving and use of a handheld device while driving. In General District Court last week, prosecutors dropped the reckless driving charge.
Westmoreland Commonwealth's Attorney Julia Sichol announced that she had requested a special prosecutor to handle the DWI charge and the charge of using a handheld device while driving.
"I have requested a special prosecutor for the case," Sichol said. "Ms. Roane and I have worked closely on several matters relating to the School, and I did not feel I could be unbiased in the prosecution of her case. Jane Wrightson, Northumberland County's Com-monwealth's Attorney, will prosecute the case."
On Feb. 12, Westmoreland County Sheriff's Office Deputies Kim Simon and Rafael Torres responded after Roane's car skidded off the road at the corner of Templemans Road and Neenah Road near the intersection of Route 3 and Route 202.
The arrest of a high school principal with the charge of driving while intoxicated is rare, and Westmoreland County School Superintendent Rebecca Lowery said that she is conferring with the Westmoreland County School Board about what action to take following the charges filed against Roane. "We will confer, and we will act in the best interests of the children," Lowery said.
Roane, a native of Westmoreland County who graduated from W&L in 1993, was named principal of the high school at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. Previously, she was the principal of Essex Intermediate School in Tappahannock, where she also served as assistant principal for three years.

Whey Protein Isolate
23g Protein | 0g Sugar/Lactose | 0g Gluten | 0g Fat: per scoop
The HypeWelcome to the critically acclaimed world of Nectar™! Gone are the days of low-quality whey protein. Gone are the days of those blah-tasting protein drinks that promise much but deliver little. Nectar™ once and for all breaks the mold by combining Promina™, the highest quality whey protein isolate ever developed.
In the world of protein powders, the name Nectar® signifies delicious fruit juice flavors. It means Zero Carbs and Zero Fat. It means instant mixability when mixed with water. It means a pure flavor with no strange aftertastes or hints of protein. To put it simply, Nectar® is the de facto image of quality when it comes to protein drinks.
As the symbol of protein excellence, we did not want to limit Nectar™ to only fruit juice flavors. We therefore researched long and hard to find other beverage flavors that would be perfectly compatible with the high quality standards that Nectar™ has achieved. After much experimentation and discovery, we developed Nectar™ Lattes. Flavors such as Cappuccino highlight the perfect success we had in developing these coffee-flavored protein powders. With all the taste characteristics of a perfect latte an no off-note flavors. Nectar™ Latte is sure to please the most discriminating coffee drinker.
What's more? Well, we did something totally amazing by engineering Nectar™ to be so delicious that you can eat it right out of the container. Imagine putting a protein powder in your mouth and it tasting like candy. Imagine this protein powder having ZERO carbs and ZERO fat. Stop imagining! We've brought you Nectar™!

Comments about Syntrax Nectar Lattes, Cappuccino, 2.2 lb:
I was a chronic coffee drinker and post bariatric surgery, I cannot drink coffee anymore. I do not like Decaf and this protein shake tricks my palate into believing that I am drinking an Iced-Coffee. It does have an aftertaste which might be a bit off-putting but it is good.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Was this review helpful? Yes / No

Suggested Use: Based on taste preference, mix 2-4 oz of water or milk per serving (1/4 scoop) of Nectar™ Lattes. One full scoop, providing 23g of protein, 0g of fat and 0g of sugar, may be mixed with 8-16oz of water or milk. Consume the desired
number of servings two to three times per day to satisfy your protein requirements. Remember, the best times for supplementing protein are immediately upon rising in the morning, after intense physical activity, such as weight training, and prior to sleep. Nectat™ Lattes mixes instantly with a spoon and tastes great...GUARANTEED!

I have 2 external drives. I would like to rotate the drives each week, so one week, I want to backup to Drive-A, next week to Drive-B and then next week back on Drive-A etc.
I see that Win 2008R2/2012 has an option called "Back up to a hard disk that is dedicated for backups", but I can't figure out how to add a second or third drive later - it seems like I have to attach all drives to the server, select the two (or more drives) when configuring the backup job, unplug so there's only one backup drive left and then I'm ready to backup. Only question is, how do I add a third drive later?

I must say the software has made leaps and bounds... It's now my recommendation for clients who want a site "that I can build myself". WordPress is truly simple to use -- right out of the box -- and plugins and templates are so easy to implement that I find myself recommending it more and more to clients who I would have formerly steered toward Joomla. It's just much less of a headache to configure for a client to use than Joomla, which pretty much requires a pay-to-play theme and JCE editor to make easy and pretty enough for a client to consider. And at that point, the cost becomes an issue.

Lost for more than half a century, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist George Weller's legendary dispatches from post-atomic-bomb Nagasaki were discovered after his death by his son, Anthony Weller. Here, this historic body of work is published for the first time.
About the Author
Anthony Weller has published two novels and a travel memoir of Asia. He has won awards for his poetry and journalism; he is also a much-recorded guitarist. Married, he lives in coastal Massachusetts and Italy.
Gary Haynes joined United Press International as a photographer in Detroit in 1958. By 1969 he was UPI's assistant managing editor of photography in New York, and later that year was made a national picture editor for The New York Times. From inside UPI, as a shooter and a manager, Haynes saw nearly every UPI picture to move on the network for close to eleven years.
Walter Cronkite was a correspondent for UPI during World War II and then served as an evening news anchor on CBS for nearly 20 years, during which he became known as "the most trusted man in America."
Praise For…
"This is an important book—important and gripping. For the first time in print we can read the details of the nuclear bombardment of Nagasaki, Japan, as written by the first American reporter on the terrible scene. . . [George Weller's] reports, so long delayed but now salvaged by his son, at last have saved our history from the military censorship that would have preferred to have time to sanitize the ghastly details . . . Also delayed by MacArthur's censorship were Weller's dispatches from his visits to American prison camps [w]here he uncovered the Japanese military's savage treatment of their American prisoners . . . There is so much in this volume that we never knew or have long forgotten. This volume of the last generation's history is an important reminder, a warning to inspire civilian vigilance."
—Walter Cronkite, from the Foreword
"Unearthed at last after six decades, George Weller's daring reportage from the ruins of Nagasaki has made an unforgettable and momentous book. From the remains of a scorched, fractured city to the unfathomable tragedy of Allied POWs in Japanese custody, he channeled his five senses straight to the page, giving eloquent testimony to the martyrs, American and Japanese alike, who were trapped in the Pacific war's bloody fun-house."
—James D. Hornfischer, author of Ship of Ghosts and The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors
"A powerful set of historical documents . . . [Anthony Weller's] intelligent concluding essay provides the framework for his father's raw copy."
—Wall Street Journal
"An invaluable historical resource for those seeking the truth...Weller, impersonating a colonel, sneaked into Nagasaki and brazenly demanded the help of Japanese military authorities...Weller interviewed eyewitnesses, survivors, doctors, and imprisoned Allied POWs and wrote a brilliant series of reports...These exceptionally important eyewitness accounts, collected and organized by a tireless war reporter dedicated to making the horrible truth known to the American public...vividly relate the everyday inhumanity of the Pacific war. Despite the sanitizing impulses of U.S. military censors, George Weller's words continue to speak eloquently about the horrors of war across a gap of sixty years."
—Boston Globe
"One of the great foreign correspondents of the twentieth century. Gutsy and enterprising . . . Weller wrote with a literary flair."—Chicago Sun-Times

There are so many options in the Jetpack plugin, if your using only one (the social media sharing for example) is a heavy plugin.
These should all be separate plugins without installing Jetpack. The only thing worth having is the simple contact form, and the mobile theme but you don't need the mobile theme if you have a responsive theme.
After removing all jetpack my site load speed went up x2!
The function for adding a custom logo does not seem to be removed from my wordpress. Makes me wonder what else has not been removed when I uninstalled this Jetpack :(
I love the idea behind jetpack. But there are still some features integrated that are a bit weired or need customization. E.G. facebook Preview image and text does not work with pages. Also Photon adds strange image crop for no reason.
My Advice: Pick what you need and find a specific plugin...
I want to love the new media features brought into Jetpack, but I just can't. The carousel being my main beef. I got over the look, and don't mind it. But the functionality is dreadful. I can scroll down into nothing but a black screen while viewing an imagine in carousel. Makes no sense. It keeps trying to load commands in carousel as well, when comments are disabled everywhere on my WP website. I wish there was a way to sort the media too, like into sections, or albums. I feel like that would just make too much sense though.
Why it's not a 1 star review? The tile-layout actually looks nice. Well done.
My users can not comment from their account (blog account), the wordpress.com account should be optional.
I ran this on my blog for a few months, and noticed things getting slower. I installed a plugin analyzer and it showed that Jetpack consumed 60% of my resources and the other 16 plugins I'm using the remaining 40%. The features added are just not worth the performance penalty. As soon as I disabled the plugin, things improved dramatically.
I'm on a shared (multi-tenant) hosting environment and run a small blog. Jetpack impacted my load times dramatically. Sorry guys, but until you work out the performance problems I can't install this again.
I've had to uninstall from 7 websites today. Jetpack slows everything down to a crawl and since uninstalling ALL my sites are now running quickly and with no issues.
I like the idea but why on earth do you automatically activate all modules? Nobody needs them all, why can't we choose?
I was using comments and sharing, i've replaced those with WordPress native comments and a plugin which probably took as long to do as it would to deactivate all the modules but I just don't trust this plugin for future updates, sorry.
I really want to keep this plugin active because I have got used to using the brilliant wordpress.com stats before I started self hosting. They are so easy to read and great to find people linking to you. But, the plugin made my site was too slow. I disabled the plug in and it sped up again. Will give it another go in the future, I really want to keep it!
Looks like a giant ad when you load the page...I just need to get to settings and can't find easily. The old system showed grid with name of app, description and tools to activate and configure. Now you have a list and unless you can remember what the name of the app is, you have to go back and forth to find the name of the app and what it does. BAD UI/design.
It was a fairly lengthy setup and debug process...
What's lacking in the Post by Mail is to NOT CHANGE the formatting of the email. or, alternatively provide an option to transfer as plain text.
In our situation case, we need to automate posting of videos via youtube. The Youtube plugin requires plain text (not hyperlink). So, we send plain text to the generated email address - but, the Jetpack system (maybe underlying wordpress email system) is adding hyperlinks.
The post by mail feature works pretty well in many respects, but is missing most of the features provided by other tools (though the others require email fetching).
Maybe they'll fix this and we'll come back.

A Doll's House
by Henrik Ibsen
Christmas and New Year's
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Deck the halls with boughs of holly/ Fa la la la la la la la la/ 'Tis the season to be... oh. What else rhymes with "holly" besides "jolly"? "Super repressed"? "Infantilized"? "Stuck in a loveless marriage"?
A Doll's House is set during the holidays. Yes, it's Xmas time for the Helmers and New Year's is swiftly approaching. Chances are that this isn't random at all. Christmas and New Year's are both associated with rebirth and renewal... and several of the characters go through a kind of rebirth over the course of the play.
Both Nora and Torvald have a spiritual awakening, which could be seen as a "rebirth." Nora's trials and tribulations wake her up to the pitiful state of her marriage. When the "wonderful thing" fails to happen, she realizes she'll never be a fully realized person until she severs herself from her husband. And when she slams the door behind her, she is in a way reborn.
Nora is not alone in her spiritual awakening, however. Torvald's last line, "The most wonderful thing of all?" (3.381), seems to indicate that Nora's words haven't fallen on deaf ears. Torvald, like his wife, has realized the complete inadequacy of his existence. By the end of the play, both Helmers have been reborn... or at least put back in emotional utero.
Krogstad and Christine are reborn as well. When these "two shipwrecked people […] join forces" (3.42), they each get a fresh start in life. Both of them view their renewed love affair as a chance for salvation. Krogstad hopes that it will help increase his standing with the community, and that Christine's influence will make him a better person. Christine is overjoyed that she will have someone to care for. She once again has purpose in her life.
Yes, it seems that, in A Doll's House, 'tis the season for rebirth... even if it's not a terribly jolly version of rebirth.

My SEO says that I need to have H2 and H3 Tags. Where do I do this?
My SEO says that I need to have H2 and H3 Tags. Where do I do this?
For the most part, those heading tags are part of the theme code. Unless you know HTML, CSS and PHP, it's not going to be very possible for you to change/add those. What theme are you using? And what "SEO" says that?
You can add your own H2 and H3 tags in your post/page content. Basically when you're writing a post/page, whenever you come to something that you consider a heading, surround it with the tags. The type of tags depends on the importance of the heading, such as:

Colours of the rainbow

The colours of the rainbow are:
Red is a primary colour, bla bla bla bla.
Orange is not a primary colour, bla bla bla bla.
Yellow is a primary colour, bla bla bla bla.
etc. etc.
You will need to be using the HTML editor rather than the visual editor for this (change at the top right of the editor window when you're writing a page/post)
Great explanation, PinkishHue.
Michael, learning basic HTML will teach you this and it's very easy.

Out for a cruise on the Golden Gate Park Panhandle bike path:
Good times!
Tech-Bro Fever – Catch It
(Compare with more conventional Stingrays about town – scroll down.)
Here you go, this is what it looks like when the RPD spends thousands of your hard-earned to steam clean the McKinley Statue. (Hey, whatever happened to KKK Katie?)
Get up to speed on this neverending game of cat and mouse here – just keep reading down.
IDK, are these people contractors paid by the RPD / SFGov? Prolly. Looks like a pretty easy gig, just get some machine and some green vests and then you're raking in some sweet sweet govt cash:
And actually, I don't know how much offensive Nazi graffiti was cleaned up this go-around. I hadn't noticed any.
Perhaps these people were just cleaning the steps this go-around and this wasn't a five-figure budget-crusher for the Arts Commish / Rec and Park Dept? I know not.
I can see why elements of SFGov, politically-connected, white & wizened millionaires who live in million dollar houses far outside the city limits, want to just throw up their arms by throwing up a metal fence around these steps at the eastern edge of Golden Gate Park. Oh, and local real estate interests, the realtors who live and "prospect" in the 94117 – they want an ugly fence as well, around this iconic meeting place.
I can see why, it's their cry for help. But I don't approve of no fence.
(And, mind you, the very same people who want the Great McKinley Fence are those who 86'ed the harmless Panhandle Bandshell a few years back…)
As seen on Lincoln out west in San Francisco County:
Somebody might have been using this mattress to sleep on in Golden Gate Park – I can't tell.
This might be the RPD parks and recreation people – I can't tell. (The Recology garbage monopoly people use hydraulics for a streetside summary execution of the box springs* they find.)
Another thing I can't tell is the difference betwixt San Francisco's legitimate mattress removal scheme vs. the process of simply wrestling your old bed** downstairs and throwing it down on the sidewalk in front of your door. I think you're supposed to tell them your address and put the letters RMJ (Remove My Junk) on your unwanted booty.
I'll look it up when and if the time comes…
*If you wanted to sell me** a box spring, I'd ask you what does it do and how am I going to eventually going to get rid of it. Oh, you say its job is to "support the mattress?" Uh, the same way the a hardwood floor might similarly "support" a mattress? And then people put a sheet of plywood in between the box spring and the mattress for "more support?" So I ask how does the mattress even know what's under the plywood? Box springs are a scam, man!
**This is an option, a foam bed, on sale, from the Costco.com – SPONSORED LINK, SURPRISE! No, no, just kidding, Gentle Reader. I wouldn't TBI you like that. Anyway, UPS delivers the box and you say, well, that's a small box, and then you cut it open and the thing expands and unfolds like a US Navy life raft. Now some people say that foam mattresses are too warm at night, you know, for Frisco. YMMV
Here's how things stand now:
And here's a little history, complete with an artist's conception of what the anti-graffiti fence would look like – keep reading down, through the webpages of time.
You know, fundamentally, this is the big landmark at the gateway to Golden Gate Park. I don't like the fence idea but I also don't like people coming by to see giant KKK letters on the base of this statue for days, weeks and months. And the Rec and Parks and Arts Commission people say it's a real expensive PITA to keep the graffiti off.
So I don't know…
If you want to learn yourself about the William McKinley statue and the Golden Gate Park East End Girls and Boys who hang out at the eastern end of GGP, click here.
What do you see in this photo? Are you a realtor* who sees the graffiti or are you a dirty hippie who sees other hippies hanging out after riding their bikes?
(I see both, actually. And I don't have any objections to the current situation, not being a NIMBY or a real estate broker myself.)
Anyway, local real estate interests and the silverbacks at RPD still want their damn "period-specific" fence to keep out the dirty dirty hippies and their spay paint cans.
Like this:
I don't know how you can look at this illustration and not chuckle, but they were serious about this.
Hey, RPD and the arts people, can you think of another solution?
Just asking.
*Lower case "r," always.
I'll tell you, I don't know why local real estate interests have such sway over what goes on in the Golden Gate Park Panhandle, but that's the way things are.
And I'll tell you further, I don't know why local real estate interests ganged up on the mostly harmless Panhandle Bandshell, but they did, oh well. So that's the background.
These days, the Eye of Sauron has fixed its gaze upon the east end, upon the McKinley Statue. It wants "period-appropriate fencing" around the whole deal, like this:
As you might remember, there was a big push for The Fence last year, detailed here.
But if you're trying to get popular support for an iron fence, you have to leave the graffiti on and not even try to clean things up until you get your goddam fence, right?
So the above shows how things looked in the autumn of 2013. I allege that the people who wanted (and still want!) the fence decided to not clean things up in order to better make the case for the fence.
Anywho, the fence concept got put on the back burner late last year, obvs, so this is how the statue looks these days, more or less:
On It Goes…

Futures prices for lumber have been riding a wave churned by hurricane Sandy. Quotes for plywood have surged 15%, to $340 per thousand board feet, since the beginning of October, propelled by the prospect of rebuilding in the northeastern U.S. after Sandy's onslaught.
Investors thinking about jumping on lumber for the short term will likely get wiped out. But those willing to hang in for the long haul could enjoy a sweet ride.
"Widely advertised natural disasters tend to be tops in lumber, fairly consistently," says Shawn Hackett, author of the Hackett Money Flow Report. But the hurricane's impact on lumber prices is expected to fade quickly. "People who are knowledgeable about this industry are using this spike as a selling opportunity," Hackett reports.
Since mid-October, the period immediately before the hurricane, the net short position of industry insiders such as lumber merchants and producers swelled 68%, according to data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
CME Group lumber futures closed up 7% for the week, at $340.10 per thousand board feet.
IF QUICK GAINS ARE UNLIKELY, larger profits await those willing to hold on for a couple of years, spurred by three factors cited by market participants.
First, the U.S. housing market is poised for a considerable rebound. Housing starts are forecast to reach 1.15 million in 2014, up from an estimated 730,000 this year, according to Daryl Swetlishoff, forestry analyst at Raymond James. That alone equates to a 19% surge in North American lumber demand from 2012, to 56 billion board feet in 2014, he estimates.
Second, demand from Asia is strong and likely to remain so. Exports of softwood lumber from British Columbia to China are expected to run some 4.5 billion board feet in 2012, up from less than half a billion in 2007, according to Raymond James projections. To put that figure in perspective, Swetlishoff forecasts that total exports from North America to the whole world will equal 8.3 billion board feet this year.
Third, a supply shortage is on the way. Pine beetles are destroying the forests of British Columbia.
"Approximately 57% of the pine volume in the province will be killed by 2017," according to a report from the province's forest service. Given that it takes a decade for pine to reach maturity, that's a problem that could leave a deficit for a long time.
In short, higher demand and curtailed supplies mean the prices of plywood will eventually soar north of $500 per thousand board feet, according to Hackett.

Egypt to Boost Wheat Imports to Avert Unrest, El Attal Says
Egypt, the world's biggest wheat buyer, plans to boost imports this year to build domestic stockpiles and prevent future political unrest fueled by high food prices, the nation's Agricultural Export Council said.
Overseas purchases may climb to 10.5 million metric tons in the year starting July 1 from 9.8 million tons a year earlier, Hisham El Attal, board member of the council, said in an interview in Singapore today.
El Attal's import forecast is higher than the 10 million tons estimated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Sept. 12 and may help limit a 14 percent slide in wheat futures this year. December-delivery wheat gained 0.9 percent to $6.7925 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade at 5:41 p.m. Singapore time.
Egypt will take advantage of the slump in prices to rebuild stockpiles and enable the government to supply the market immediately in the case of any unrest, he said.
Protests toppled leaders in the north African nations of Egypt and Tunisia while riots erupted from Bahrain to Morocco this year, in part because of high food costs.
Food-price inflation concerns for policy makers are set to persist even as rice declines and wheat trades below this year's peak, according to the United Nations, which said that importers are still paying more than a year ago.
Bigger Harvests
Another year of bumper wheat and rice harvests, as well as a continued surplus in corn, is needed to bring stockpiles back to "healthy" levels and reduce inflation concerns, Abdolreza Abbassian, senior economist at the UN Food & Agriculture Organization, said in an interview in Singapore today.
China, the largest consumer, may also boost purchases of wheat to 1.5 million tons in 2011-2012, from 1.3 million tons a year earlier, as millers seek high-grade variety to blend with local supply, Haiguang Shi, vice president of the Canadian Wheat Board, said at a conference in Singapore today.

Kieswetter expects England riposte
Keep up to date with all of the action from the 2012 World Twenty20 with exclusive reports & reaction plus previews, features, video highlights and photos
England are writing off yesterday's defeat against India as a blip which will have no bearing on their prospects at the "business" end of the World Twenty20.
The defending champions were not at their best during a 90-run defeat at the Premadasa Stadium.
The key consolation, however, was that their less-than-stellar showing did not come in a Super Eight, or knockout, match, but a final Group A fixture which counted for nothing between two teams who had already qualified for the next stage.
Craig Kieswetter, for one - a survivor of England's successful campaign in this same tournament in the West Indies two years ago - is confident he and his team-mates will bear no scars when they head east to Kandy tomorrow.
There, three Super Eight matches await them at Pallekele - starting on Thursday.
Opener Kieswetter concedes there were lessons to be learned from England's misadventure under lights in Colombo.
"You've got to be more streetwise, be prepared to score ugly runs," he said. "What's done is done; we did what we needed to do and qualified - and now we're through to the business part of the competition.
"Now you'll see the good teams put their hands up and actually put up performances that really matter."
England are hoping, of course, they are one of those with potential to do just that – though Stuart Broad's men will have to improve against spin, in particular.
"It was a disappointing performance - we're human enough to say that and realise that obvious fact," he added.
"We've played spin well; we've beaten Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan in the sub-continent before. It was just a bad performance.
"We're not getting too down about it. Confidence is still high; we're still playing some great cricket and we're pretty glad we've got that game out of the way at the best time possible."
It was not prodigious turn which did for England as off-spinner Harbhajan Singh returned career-best figures; but his deception and skill, combined with a surface that did not allow reaction time after batting misjudgements, were too much for a succession of batsmen.
"It's probably a good learning curve to have," added Kieswetter.
"It was actually a pretty good wicket. It didn't turn as much and we probably expected, and we played for a bit too much turn.
"The ball's a bit more unpredictable here - it either spins or it doesn't - it's not as predictable as in England.
"We've got to be adaptable to the wickets. Last night didn't really turn much, and we played across the line a bit too much. We should have played a bit straighter.
"We realise that; we've highlighted it and we're obviously going to learn from that."

When I log in to back office, I go to Appearance, then Menus. Then I create a new Main Menu (no problem).

Pair deny stealing snowmobileMarch 01,2013Men deny
stealing snowmobile
Two men denied charges this week of stealing a snowmobile from a dealership in Clarendon.
Jeremy C. Chadburn, 28, of Shrewsbury and Kelley E. Staples, 21, of Danby, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge each of grand larceny.
Vermont State Police say Staples was seen on video stealing a 2002 Polaris XCSP snowmobile from Dan Turco and Sons on North Shrewsbury Road last month.
In an interview with Staples, he allegedly admitted to stealing the $2,000 snowmobile, but said he did it as a favor for Chadburn who agreed to pay him $600 if he helped to steal and tow the machine away, according to police.
Chadburn denied any involvement in the crime. He told police that he traded Staples a motorcycle for the snowmobile and promptly returned it when the owner of the machine came to his home looking for it three days after it was stolen.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

What they are saying: There shouldnt be. We both do the same stuff and Im sure some of the terminology is the same. I know both our defenses get to look at it in the spring and August camp, so both defenses should know how to defend it and that takes away the element of surprise. -- Callais on Central and Thibodaux running the same triple-option offense.
Our backs are against the wall, and hopefully our kids can refocus and eliminate our mistakes. They do the same things that we do, so it will be the team that makes the fewest mistakes. I still believe in my team and hopefully we can turn it around this week. -- Ford on his team in need of a win to stay in the playoff hunt.

Notes: Berwick hasnt defeated E.D. White since 1974 E.D. Whites special teams scored, or set up, 17 of the Cardinals 30 points, last week The Cardinals have outscored their last two opponents 67-28

Long winded and pretentious
Why did you suddenly take the moral highground after charging into this thread, hurling childish insults? Because I clearly ****ed you off by playing your own game. Now you are some innocent victim that did nothing to derserve such "racist" treatment.
Drop me a PM if you are ever in California. We can train a bit. Allow me to show you how much of a "paper tiger" I am. Perhaps you can tell everyone at my BJJ/MMA gym that I am an insecure racist.

I need to copy a SATA partition to external usb partition , both partitions are same in size but total disk size are different , i want to copy only the data and not concerned about boot sector and so don't want copy the SATA partition info in to USB disk. So in dd command , is skipping 1 block ( skip=1) is enough?. Thanks
the mbr is the first 512 bytes of the device. checking 'man dd' you will find, that you can use 'skip=BLOCKS' to skip some bytes at the beginning of the input:
but in general i dont think thats a good idea, if you 'just want the data' ... because you copy only part of the filesystem etc. why dont you copy the data from filesystem to filesystem?
Yes. If you haven't played around with it, the default is 1 block (512 bytes).
I may be being an idiot here, but can't one just use dd on the partition rather than the disk, so use
And is it necessary to use

The Dark Lining in the Jobs Cloud
Unemployment Is Falling, but Low-Paying Sectors Lead Growth
The nation's job picture continued to improve in June, as nonfarm employment advanced a seasonally adjusted 288,000 and the Labor Department revised May and April gains upward. The unemployment rate fell to 6.1%, its lowest since September 2008. Both figures exceeded the expectations of analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal.
June marked the first five-month stretch of job creation exceeding 200,000 since the boom years of the late 1990s. The data were a welcome sign of economic health after output contracted in the first quarter at its fastest pace since the recession, an annualized 2.9%.
But the labor market remains sluggish in some respects. The jobless rate is still historically high, above the 4% to 5% rate in the months before the recession that began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009. At 62.8%, the share of population either working or looking for work remains at 30-year lows, a sign that many of the unemployed have given up their job searches.
Furthermore, low-paying sectors continue to lead job gains. Retail added more than 40,000 jobs, while leisure and hospitality added 39,000. Among higher-paying sectors, manufacturing added 16,000 jobs and construction 6,000.
This composition of job gains was reflected in June's muted wage gains. The average hourly wage for private-sector workers rose six cents to $24.45. That's up just 2% from a year earlier, basically in line with consumer-price inflation.
A broader gauge of unemployment, which includes discouraged job seekers and people working part time because they can't find full-time work, stood at 12.1% last month. That was down from 12.2% in May and 14.2% a year earlier.
—Jonathan House
and Ben Leubsdorf
Federal Safety Net For Pensions Is at Risk
The federal safety net for a type of private-sector pension plan common in the transportation, construction and other industries is at risk of a collapse in coming years that could affect more than a million people, according to a report released last week.
The federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. program that covers multiemployer pensions "is more likely than not to run out of funds in eight years, and highly likely to do so within 10 years," the agency said.
The PBGC collects insurance premiums from employers that offer the pensions and helps retirees in insolvent plans by paying them reduced pensions.
But the likely failure of several big plans means that the PBGC's limited resources for helping retirees in failed multiemployer plans likely will be tapped out in coming years. This year's report estimates that the $8.3 billion long-term deficit the federal backup plan for multiemployer plans faced in fiscal 2013 will widen to $49.6 billion by fiscal 2023. The deficits don't mean that the backup plan can't pay now.

The centre-back rejoined his team-mates for training on Monday morning having suffered from tendinitis in his knee but this cup clash looks to have come too soon for the 29-year-old.
Long-term injury absentees Jim Paterson and Danny Woodards are also back in full training but the pair need some matches under their belt before being considered for first-team action.
Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Morecambe was Rovers' first loss in 10 and they will head to Crawley as underdogs despite drawing 0-0 in the original tie.

The hotel is nice - lobby looks classy and the decorating was nice throughout. Overall a very good experience. The room has a living room with a kitchenette (which is a sink, mini-fridge, and microwave) in the front with a half wall seperating it from the 2 queen beds. It was spacious - my family of 5 (plus the baby) fit just fine. Large showers. Tiny swimming pool. Good free breakfast (waffles, eggs, cereal, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels, etc.). Staff doesn't pay attention to the do not disturb sign though so watch out. As for the location it was right off I-70 which made things easy. Its also right down the street from the St. Louis Rams Training Camp.

South Carolina's jobless rate up slightly in January to 8.7 percent

South Carolina's unemployment rate increased slightly in January.
The Department of Employment and Workforce said Monday the jobless rate in January was 8.7 percent. That's up from a revised rate of 8.6 percent in December.
The number of those seeking jobless benefits in Spartanburg, Cherokee and Union counties also jumped during the first month of the year. Spartanburg County's unemployment rate increased to 8.9 percent, up from 8.3 percent the previous month, while Cherokee County's rate rose to 12.1 percent, up from 11.3 percent.
Union County's unemployment rate increased from 13.4 percent to 14.3 percent.
The national jobless rate also increased slightly in January, from 7.8 percent in December to 7.9 percent.
The agency says much of the loss came because of seasonal layoffs and the closing of schools between semesters.
The information sector was the only segment of the economy to add jobs in January, with 600 additional positions.
Trade, transportation and utilities saw a decline of 9,600 jobs, while government employment dropped by 8,500.
Marion County had the highest unemployment rate at 19.2 percent. Lexington County had the lowest rate at 6.8 percent.
