When you were a kid, did you love packing your bags and heading down the block to spend the night at a school friend's house? At the time, all you could probably think about was staying up late, watching movies and getting a sugar high on candy. But as a parent, you might not view sleepovers through rose-colored, flip-up glasses any longer. After all, when is a child ready to spend a night away from home? And what makes a sleepover safe?
Below, we've gathered some tips to help you prepare for your kid's first sleepover — whether they're attending or hosting at your home.
More: 7 Things You Can Expect to Happen During Your Child's First Sleepover
When is your kid sleepover-ready?
Determining when your child is ready for a bit more independence can be difficult, especially since there aren't any hard-and-fast prerequisites. (Sorry, folks, you do not have to be this tall or this old to enter the slumber party.)
Instead of basing your decision on age, licensed mental health counselor GinaMarie Guarino recommends looking at other factors, such as emotional and behavioral development.
"A child's age is not as important as their level of maturity and self-sufficiency," Guarino tells SheKnows. "Around age 7, a child can typically be considered mature enough to spend the night away, but each individual child is different and should be considered on an individual basis."
More: How to Tell If Your Child Is Ready for a Sleepover
Ask yourself questions like, "Does my child play well with others and listen to adults?" And, "How does she react when we're apart for long periods of time?" Answer the questions thoughtfully and honestly — and ultimately trust your instincts. You know your child better than anyone.
Have a pre-party meet & greet
When in doubt, suss it out. Before you agree to send your child to someone else's house, it's critical you get to know your kid's friend and the supervising adults, children's counselor Kim Martinez tells SheKnows. Set up a playdate so you can get a feel for how your child and her friend interact with one another. Does she act the same around her pal, or does her behavior change in any way? Do they seem to have a good time together? These are just some of the questions you might want to ask yourself.
Though Martinez says both sets of parents or guardians would ideally have a close friendship, that doesn't have to be — and isn't always — the case when a child receives a sleepover invite. Get to know the hosts by going out to coffee or having them over for an after-school chat.
More: 12 Arts & Crafts Ideas for Kids Straight From the Kitchen
"Having a conversation with the parents is important," Guarino says. "That way, the lines of communication are open, and you are fully aware of any needs or behavioral issues of each child."
Ask the tough questions
Once you've exchanged niceties with your child's friend's parents or guardians, it's time to cut to the chase and ask the more difficult questions. Though it may seem awkward to ask another adult if they have a gun in the home and how they store it, addressing the issue could help save your child's life.
Drafting a list of things that are important for you to know before the conversation can help hold you accountable and make the experience more comfortable. Does anyone in the house use drugs recreationally? What kinds of movies are their children allowed to watch at home? How many people will be at the house during the sleepover? Be kind but firm in explaining what and why these things matter to you.
"The hosting parents' responsibility is to make sure their home is safe for children of all ages and free of hazards," Martinez explains. "They are responsible for having all phone numbers, allergy information, health information where necessary, and a good rapport with the family and child staying in their home."
Establish ground rules
This step is vital for parents to go over with their kids and the supervising adults. If you're not OK with your 8-year-old kid watching Titanic, say so. The same goes for bedtimes, food choices (no, sleepovers aren't an excuse for kids to eat junk food solely, no matter how much they insist) and games. While you can't control everything that happens at another person's house, you should absolutely be able to have a say regarding your child's overall safety and well-being.
More: 10 Ways to Entertain Your Kids Without TV
Arrive prepared
Parents should ensure the hosting family has all pertinent information — medical needs, emergency contacts, allergy information, dietary restrictions — readily accessible. Provide clear labels and instructions to make things easier for all parties involved.
Keep communication lines open
No, you don't want to be on the phone with your child the entire night, but it's important they know they can reach you if needed. Should they be scared to talk openly while their friends are around, you can establish a safe word to discreetly indicate that they're feeling uncomfortable, scared or unmanageably homesick.
Also, let the hosting parents know how and when is best to contact you. It's OK to go to a movie or out for a couple of drinks. Just inform the family beforehand if you'll be away from your device for an extended period — and who else they might contact.
More: Kids Rules You Can Totally Let Slide During the Summer
Finally, let your child know that while you hope they have an absolute blast with their friends, there's no shame in realizing they might not be ready. Over time and with plenty of communication, you'll both come to a clearer understanding of what works best, sleepover-wise, for your family.

Day trading and the stock market is not a "war" that you must win at all cost. Trading should be fun, wait for only the good setups. Follow your rules, stick to your stops, and know that everyday the market presents a new chess board.

A couple weekends ago I had the amazing opportunity to pack up and head out to Eagle Village in Hersey, Michigan along with my cohort and our mentors. I was so excited to spend the weekend getting to know my mentor and peers better and couldn't wait to see what fun activities were planned. After getting settled in our rooms, introducing ourselves to our group, and playing in the rain it was time to hit the high ropes course. I've never been one to be afraid of heights or climbing, but I'm not a huge fan of high ropes either. The last time I went up in a course was 6th grade camp. Standing still with my harness and helmet secured, I gazed up at the course with an open mind and a positive attitude feeling somewhat prepared and confident I could conquer it. That was until I was halfway up the ladder. My body tensed up as I realized this was going to be a bigger challenge than I expected. My mentor, James, was already at the top waiting for me, cheering me on. When I finally reached the top and looked around at all the different paths to take I started limiting myself to only a few I thought I could do. I told myself that if I could just go through a couple elements and get down everything would be fine. James had a different plan. I told him he could go on without me but he assured me we would accomplish it together. He pushed me to at least try five elements and encouraged me each step of the way. When our time was up I was going to take the easy way out and climb down the ladder instead of jumping off like all the crazy people do. I should have known James wasn't going to let me do that either. I stepped out to the edge of the plank and glanced at James' smiling face, thinking I couldn't believe he talked me into this. It took everything within me to take that step off the plank but once I was in the air looking down at my friends it was so worth it. And to be honest, it was actually the best part of the course.
Looking back at the high ropes course I realized that there are going to obstacles in my life that I will have to overcome and taking the easy way out is not going to be an option. But, I wont have to overcome the obstacle alone either. Having a strong support system can make any difficulty possible and it isn't shameful to depend on them for help. I am so grateful for LAS and all of the encouragement they provide. Knowing that there are so many people offering their support helps me feel assured that I can succeed in any situation.
Later that afternoon, James and I had the opportunity to go on a canoe trip with about 30 other mentees/mentors. I was so ready to get out on the water and enjoy nature at its finest. About an hour and a half into the trip, after belting the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody and racing the others with our H.M.S. Star Streamer (naming credit goes to James), the sun started to set and it became increasingly harder to see where we were rowing. We still had a long ways to go before we reached the pick up site. Just when we all thought we were in the clear, a few rain droplets quickly turned into a massive downpour. James and I didn't mind getting completely soaked, in fact, it made our adventure 10 times more exciting. There was even a point when James and I had to get out of the canoe and, with both feet in the river, get our canoe unstuck. I should've thought that through a little bit more considering I only brought one pair of socks and shoes for the entire weekend. Despite trying to canoe through the shallow, rocky river in the dark and pouring rain, we all got back to the campground safely. Although there were a few people who did not like the outcome of the canoe trip, it was the highlight of my weekend. It reminded me to always make the best out of every situation and that positivity can overpower negativity. At the end of the night we all gathered around a campfire and shared stories about our day. It was so good to hear everyone share how they were challenged in some way or what they learned during a certain activity. It was amazing to see how close we all became in just a couple days. The retreat was overall a great weekend full of challenges, successes, and fun. Until next year Eagle Village!

Future of Memorial to Victims of Communism hinges on election result
Ottawa Sun
The Memorial to the Victims of Communism is on ice — for now. According to a letter from National Capital Commission CEO Mark Kristmanson, the controversial memorial won't come before the NCC board for final approval until mid-November. The delay is a surprising concession from the federal government. I've been part of a group of architects advocating against the memorial's planned location adjacent the Supreme Court.

Modern, arc-shaped tower with skybridge proposed for Vancouver
Vancity Buzz
The northern foot of the Cambie Street Bridge could have a sleek-looking "gateway" building if a new development proposal by Concord Pacific receives its necessary approvals. The developer has submitted a formal application to construct a 288-foot-tall (88-metre) residential tower with 29 storeys at 89 Nelson Street, a site formerly used as a parking lot. The aptly-named "Arc" building, designed by Vancouver-based Francl Architecture, features two towers nearly identical in height with a curvy form that bends inwards and outwards.

Four Queens Poker Club - One4Review
Okay the title is a little deceptive, they are not Royalty, there is no gambling, and Cave II cannot be called a club, but there are at least four of them.
Still no matter, these four ladies are on form, and the material flows from the very first moment.
Compared by CBBC's Kirsten O'Brien, and thrill to her being able to hear her use words not allowed by the Beeb, such words as Marmite and Jet-ski as they are trade names, and maybe one or two others!!
Ruth Bratt, Abigail Burdess and Issy Brodsky are the other ladies on the bill, each has their own style, each has a vast array of material and the whole ensemble add up to an hour of excellent entertainment.
So when you go, think of some celeb you want to know something about, as Kirsten will occasionally dish the dirt!!!
Problems? Only one. The time slipped away far to quickly.

My question is in the context of a paging virtual memory system.
- The function of resident set management (RSM) is to:
- Impose an upper bound on the cardinality of a process' resident set.
- The ostensible benefits of RSM are:
- Reduce the overall page fault rate by preventing one process from dominating memory.
- Increase the probability that the process scheduler will find a "ready" process at any particular time by increasing number of processes that can reside in main memory.
- The potential drawbacks of RSM are:
- Increase a process' page fault rate if the upper bound on its resident set is smaller than its working set.
- More overhead.
- When a page fault occurs, the thread of execution that caused the page fault is blocked and another thread(s) is allowed to execute in the meantime.
Isn't resident set management superfluous?
Here's why I think it's superfluous:
- A single process would not be able to "dominate" memory at the expense of other processes anyway. This is because whenever a single large process creates a memory fault and causes a non-resident of its own to be swapped in and some other process' page to be swapped out, then another process(es) would be able to execute while the large process is blocked due to the memory fault. If the other processes' working sets grow too small due to the single large process, then they will cause memory faults of their own and be able to reclaim pages. This should eventually result in an appropriate equilibrium state.
- (Or more realistically, frames would be reclaimed according to some LRU algorithm or the like, and so wouldn't be needed anyway. And if they were needed, then the system is probably in a state of thrashing, and the total number of processes should be constrained, rather than the number of resident pages per process.)
- There should be enough processes in memory for the process scheduler to find a "ready" process at any particular time anyway. This is because without RSM there are no specific limits to the number of processes that can be in main memory at one time. New processes can be added simply by replacing current resident pages (e.g. LRU). The number of resident pages per process would then result automatically from the interaction of the number of active processes, the size of the working set of every process, and the replacement algorithm. No additional limit on the number of resident pages per process is necessary in a virtual memory system (vs. an overlay system).
Disclaimer: I'm a student in an "intro to OS concepts" course right now. My information comes from my textbook and my professor. However, neither my textbook nor the professor was able to answer this question, and I wasn't able to find a pre-existing similar question on StackExchange in a cursory search. I'd appreciate any corrections if my question is nonsensical or has already been answered!

Employment – For many people, their jobs are an essential part of their living. Jobs can be interesting, boring or somewhere in between. Jobs can speak about our interests and passions or can just be a means to an end (paycheck). My personal experience with employment has been a grab bag of both passion and necessity, alternating between non-profits (passion) and retail (necessity). BUT, I like to think that everything I've done in the past has prepared me for where I am today.
But what about those with disabilities? Statistics aren't great. An article by Fortune Magazine in 2017, states that "Only 35% of U.S. civilians with disabilities between the ages 18 and 64 had a job in 2015, compared to 76% for people without disabilities", according to a report from RespectAbility, an advocacy group for Americans with disabilities. Reports from studies done through Special Olympics, for those specifically with intellectual and developmental disabilities are similar, with an approximate employment rate of half the general population. My personal experience working with several organizations and agencies has proven these statistics to be true. Employment can be a tough nut to crack.
So many factors come into place, including preparing the individual for an employment setting, and the opportunity to have a chance at a job. Although impacting vocational opportunities might take a bigger village voice, we as parents can do what we can to help prepare Caleb personally. Whether it was because we were "older" parents with grown children, or my interactions with teens and young adults with IDDs (or both), we decided early on that we would start working with Caleb on a number of things to get him prepared for employment.
As I mentioned in a recent Instagram post, chores and daily activities help set the stage for employment by encouraging independence and "soft skills". Soft skills can include many things – social appropriateness, communication, personal habits, ability to follow directions, interpersonal skills, teamwork, self-regulation, and more. Getting out and getting engaged in the community can be a great help in developing soft skills. It can be a lot of work on the parent's end, for sure, but the payoff can be enormous. You can practice these skills at home, at school, with friends.
Another factor that can be so very important is interests! What does your child like to do? What things are he/she interested in? Do they like digging in the dirt? Trains? Cars? Playing with dolls? Legos? IMO, it's never too early to start noticing those things and start the wheels turning in your mind about employment opportunities. Start thinking and exploring all those fields that might correlate to your child's interests.
Caleb is ten years old. He's shown interests in several things already, and our wheels are turning. He loves to help around the house. He's very task-oriented and will work to see something completed. So how to turn that into employment? I look at perhaps an office job, where he has daily tasks and has a checklist. He also loves to be around people and entertain. Probably more of a hobby, but theater might be an option. He loves cooking! He has a blast in the kitchen, helping to make meals and desserts. He takes direction well and has a strong interest in seeing the finished product. #cookingwithCaleb might be just the thing for him. He loves to be outside in the yard, so perhaps working at a lawn-care service, or somewhere such as Home Depot's garden department. He loves sports! Although he might not ever be a professional athlete (but then again, who knows!), he might work for one of the many sports teams we have here in Jacksonville, working with equipment or some other aspect of the team's support system.
As times have changed over the past ten years, there has also been a huge increase in helping people with unique needs get training, skills and knowledge to be better prepared. Caleb's school has a focus on post-education goals. There are other self-advocacy organizations here in FL to help as well. Florida SANDS (Self-Advocate Network D) works to help individuals with issues and services. At their recent conference, a new curriculum was presented to help students explore their own likes and interests. The Explore Work Curriculum provides a "chance for people with all kinds of disabilities to think about what kind of work they might like to do and to explore employment options." Short videos and questionnaires have been developed for young people to think about their interests, what accommodations they might need, and build confidence and self-assurance.
Post-secondary options are increasing dramatically as well. Visit the Think College website to see what's out there in your area, what might be coming, training's and resources (and a shout out to Ruby's Rainbow featured there too!) Entrepreneurial options are increasing as well. Examples like Blake's Snow Shack, John's Crazy Socks and Seanese are all proof that self-employment might be worth looking at.
Starting young to develop good personal habits and interactions can never be a bad thing. As many of us parents have discovered, some of our kids need a bit longer learning curve to get to the end result. The good news is that options and opportunities are increasing. Helping your child become more independent can help lead to bigger things than just getting the laundry done 😊

Changing Channels
Beyond the shredding of documents, the business of accounting typically promises little in the way of excitement. But when Landel Hobbs was a young auditor in Texas, he often had to travel under an assumed name.
Back in the wild days of the 1980s S&L meltdowns, Hobbs was part of a team of accountants hired by federal regulators to review and seize savings and loan outfits on the brink of collapse—an operation conducted in stealth mode so as to surprise the shady financiers and head off a cover-up.
"They used to check all these people into little towns under false names," Hobbs says of his fellow accounting operatives, although he's not sure the efforts did much good. "It's a little hard to hide 35 people in suits in these West Texas towns."
Last year, Hobbs stepped out of the shadows of the financial world to become president/COO of Time Warner Cable. And, as in Texas, another troubled situation awaited.
An unusual choice
Time Warner Cable, one of the best-performing cable operators, has spent nearly a year trying to buy the absolute worst-performing operator, Adelphia Communications. If the deal closes this summer, as many expect, Hobbs will inherit systems that are bleeding subscribers, generating sub-par cash flow and contending with employees bruised by the financial scandal surrounding founder John Rigas and his son Tim.
To be sure, Hobbs is an unusual choice for such a mission. Prior to his appointment last August, he had never held any sort of operating position. His ascent followed a management shakeup that sent former President Tom Baxter and former COO John Billock packing in January 2005. (Hobbs was previously Time Warner Cable's CFO.) He had no background in sales, marketing, customer service, plant installation or any other key aspect of running the nation's second-largest collection of cable systems. What's more, he had no experience at any cable operator before joining Time Warner Cable in 2001.
But even when he was a finance guy, Hobbs says, he always tried to look at budgets and spending through the eyes of the operating guys.
"A lot of finance people are myopically focused only on the immediate financial return, without focusing on the business implications," he says.
Indeed, Time Warner Cable Chairman/CEO Glen Britt says Hobbs' adaptability is one reason he got the job.
"When Landel was new here, he thought cable was a monolithic business that could be run in a centralized way," Britt says. "He came to understand that we run a collection of local businesses and that we're managing people who are running those businesses."
Though he has crunched many a number, Hobbs isn't a complete quant. A Texas native, he won a partial music scholarship as a trombonist to Angelo State University, where he earned a bachelor's in business administration. Hobbs and his pals played parties, bars and rodeos around San Angelo, including a number of gigs on the local political circuit.
"The Republicans always paid us in beer; the Democrats paid us in food," Hobbs recalls. "We tended to play for the Republicans."
He even considered pursuing a career in music rather than accounting. "Honestly, I could have gone either way," Hobbs says. "I think I got burned out. That's the reason I entered the business side."
Like most accounting graduates of Angelo State, Hobbs started out in oil. He took a job in the Midland, Texas, office of Peat Marwick, auditing primarily oil-drilling and -services companies. He later moved to the Dallas office, where he served his tour of duty in the S&L crisis, before taking a job with BancOne.
In 1993, a former colleague called about an opportunity in a completely different world: cable networks. Hobbs joined Turner Broadcasting System as a controller and later became a senior VP of finance, working on budgeting and forecasting for existing networks and new channels the company was starting up abroad.
Star-struck by cable giants
Hobbs found little in the way of long-term planning at TBS. "I was amazed at the lack of [forecasting] systems in the entertainment industry," Hobbs says. "Ted [Turner] was fabulous in intuitively knowing what made money. But there wasn't a lot of rigor around it."
What impressed him, however, was the programmer's board of directors. TBS was owned at the time by several cable companies that had previously bailed Turner out of a financial crisis, and Hobbs found himself meeting with the likes of Tele-Communications Inc. CEO John Malone, HBO Chairman Michael Fuchs and Comcast President Brian Roberts. "The board of Turner was just star-packed," he says.
After Time Warner bought TBS, and then was itself bought by AOL in 2001, Hobbs briefly moved up to Time Warner corporate in New York, before heading to the cable division that year.
As he faces the challenges ahead, Hobbs is optimistic—even about the Adelphia mess. He says that recent plant upgrades and resurgent employee morale have made the properties look better than expected.
"These are good businesses," he says. "We know how to make these systems look like Time Warner Cable systems."
There was a time, at TBS, when Hobbes would never have imagined going to the cable-system side. "Now," he says, noting technological advances like video-on-demand, interactivity and telephone services, "I think this is the most exciting place to be.

Sashaa Milk sacks says that babe likes aggressive, hardcore sex. This is no frail, delicate 18eighteen Girl. Sashaa can handle pounding, pumping, thrashing, throat stuffing and more. That babe is a thrill-seeker furthermore. But that babe does have sensitive juggs. "I like to have them sucked, but that doesn't make me cum or anything," says Sashaa.
Carlos is her fuck date this time and that chap is a controller. This chab treats the gals roughly but nicely and knows how to float their boats. This buck doesn't looker out lovey-dovey bonks. Sashaa is in precious coarse hands. Aggressive touching excites her. But if it is from some other beauty, softness is better, she says.
"I love to please boys," Sashaa says. "If a Lothario craves me to drink his man-juice, I will. If that man urges me to spit it out on my zeppelins, I will. Carlos wanted to cum inside me." Sashaa desires hot sex as often as this babe can receive it and has a super-active sex life. "I masturbate five or six times a day. I commence early in the morning and I sometimes keep going all day. I do it at work if I am lustful and to receive damp. I am not really into toys. I can solely cum by working my love button with my hand."
It's no wonder Sashaa decided to receive into adult action.
"That's why I wanted to dance and be in porn, 'cuz I like knowing that fellows are watching me and thinking about fucking me. So cuz of that, I always get way into what I am doing to get other people to react to me."

Key points from this blog
- Tailor your approach
- Encourage leadership by example
- There are different ways to judge success
In our blog 'Internal Communication Examples' we took you through four examples of IC in practice – two good and two bad. Those stories were based on FitzPatrick's 7 Golden Rules[1], and below we share three more case studies to complete the picture.
They can guide you as to best practice, help when you are writing an IC Strategy or an IC Plan and remind you that even the biggest corporations can get their Internal Communication badly wrong.
Rule 5: I did it their way
Understand the working methods of those you need to convince. If leaders seem bound up in stats and spreadsheets and don't get your dazzling creativity, go with the flow. Gather data to prove your ideas work, show them a process, outline a clear outcome and they'll soon be on your side. On the other hand, if you need to tear up past precedent and innovate, again tailor your IC to the way users like to work.
Case study for good Internal Communication: Seymour House
Seymour House runs ten outstanding childcare nurseries and wanted to get staff across the group engaging better with each other to share great practice. Talkfreely innovated with an app called Community. Community replaces static web pages and posts with highly personalised, bite-sized chunks of information presented on "boards" displaying relevant "cards". These communicate quick stories and are far better at connecting people across teams. Seymour House team members love using it.
Rule 6: Make the most of managers
However big or small your organisation, line managers and local leaders are your allies. They are essential to motivating employees and getting them on board: through discussion, allaying fears and leading by example. So write them into your IC plan. But the message has to be right, as tech pioneer Yahoo learned to its cost.
Case study for bad Internal Communication:
Yahoo's Head of HR sent out a motivational memo full of praise for the company's "positive momentum", "the buzz and energy in our offices", "remarkable progress" and promising "the best is yet to come." Oh yes, and all staff working from home must move back into the office or quit. No strategic business rationale for this order, and a communication of this importance should have come from the head of the business.
Rule 7: There is no silver bullet
Social media, the intranet (and, in days gone by, the typewriter and the photocopier) have all at some stage promised to revolutionise IC and make everything else redundant. But it hasn't happened, which means the role of the Internal Communicator remains absolutely pivotal. You can't put a positive spin on everything, because not every cloud has a silver lining. And cut yourself slack in how you judge success.
Internal Communication case study: what counts as success?
Let's look again at the story of logistics company XPO, described in our blog Internal Communication Examples. Talkfreely's Ideas Matter app has seen 28% of employees actively taking part in XPO's drive to gather great ideas from its workforce spread across 104 sites.
In some sectors and campaigns, 28% would be a pretty modest engagement score. For XPO, however, it has seen hard-to-reach workers given a voice for the very first time. It has increased engagement, with remote colleagues now feeling part of the XPO "family". It has produced a stream of ideas that are improving operations across multiple sites, with staff getting a say in changes they will have to implement. And XPO has created a stronger connection between the company and its employees. Their enthusiasm is infectious:
"Wow what a powerful tool to bring people closer together and at the same time improve all areas of our operation. WE LOVE IT." Paul, Site manager
Good idea or bad idea: what do you think?
Four more case studies
Read our first four IC case studies in our blog 'Internal Communication Examples'. They cover:
Rule 1: Activity means nothing without results
Rule 2: Value benefits the business
Rule 3: In the thick of it
Rule 4: Shut up and listen.
The benefits of great Internal Communication
Employees flourish in an organisation where senior leaders take the time to communicate well about organisational change, profit forecasts and a multitude of HR matters. Doing so creates effective and transparent workplaces, which encourage staff to stay, attract talented new recruits and lift levels of job satisfaction. When a business takes the IC initiative to open a two-way dialogue with employees it can head off rumours, keep control (as far as possible) of the message and stay on brand.
The case studies above demonstrate how communication with clear goals leads to positive results, whereas a confused (even devious) approach is counter-productive. These lessons underline how essential it is that the Internal Communication function be enmeshed in the very fabric of your organisation.
"71% [of companies surveyed] felt that leaders view the IC team as trusted advisors and a similar proportion said that the IC team is usually involved at all stages of communicating complex messages."

Mumbai: Aamir Khan's latest movie, Ghajini is running to packed houses in India and abroad. But Aamir is still doing all he can to create more buzz about it.
On Saturday morning, the actor continued his promotional rounds and met his fans sporting the much talked about Ghajini look at a radio station in Mumbai. He also wishes his 'good friend' Salman Khan on his 43rd birthday.
"Liking the love story and the action, I am very happy with the response," says Aamir.
And it's not just Ghajini that is bringing smiles to his face, his directorial debut Taare Zameen Par too continues to bring cheer.
The film bagged the best film trophy at the V Shantaram National Awards ceremony held on Friday evening in Mumbai. And his young co-star Darsheel Safary beat the likes of Hrithik Roshan and Kamal Hasan to take hime the best actor award.
"I was not there but I am very happy to have received the honour," adds the actor.
Aamir also took the opportunity to wish his friend Salman Khan who celebrates his 43rd birthday on Saturday.
"Many many happy returns of the day and always be happy and safe," wishes Aamir to Salman.

If you visited the United Way office in July, you may have seen boxes overflowing with food items for our annual MeaningFULL Meals collection.
Over 4,500 pounds of food were collected throughout Greensboro thanks especially to Morrisette and BB&T Triad Corporate Center who went above and beyond to support the cause.
Five years ago, United Way and The Volunteer Center started MeaningFULL Meals, a nutrition project that seeks food donations to help feed school children in need while school is out for summer.
More than 65% of Guilford County School's students qualify for free or reduced lunch. In the summer months, many of these children do not have the same access to a nutritious meal and go hungry.
For the third year in a row, BackPack Beginnings joined the partnership by managing the food pantry, preparing bags of food for pick up and being a drop off location for food donations.
Big thanks to ALL who collected items to help free students this summer!

Say it loud: in Western New York, we like to get out, and we're proud. When May rolls around, we shift into spring-summer mode, heading to cottages, attending reenactments, fly fishing, golfing, and, of course, eating and drinking. This month,
's writers tell us about some of the things that make being outdoors so special to them, and also investigate a few new ideas. You'll see words like Kubb, wiffle, Mizuno, Valderamma, Pollywogg, and even Flying Pig. There are special sections on outdoor music (not just Thursday at the Square), scenic overnights, sports, and some nearby "secret" spots. There's even a look at the historic mills of the Niagara Escarpment. So pull out your shorts, lace your sneakers, dust off your sunglasses, and liberally apply sunscreen. It's just about summertime, and the living is easier.

Republicans can mobilize supporters without being forced to talk about or account for their actual actions. Identity, for many voters, matters more than their pocketbooks. Republicans simply need to signal their disdain—even hatred—for their opponents, political or otherwise. Why worry about the consequences of your policies when you can preclude defeat by changing the ground rules of elections, spending vast sums, and stoking cultural resentment?

I was hesitant to purchase Lull, due to the fact of not having access to trying it before buying. However, purchasing Lull was easily the best decision. I find myself sleeping much better each night. The bed is so comfortable! It took me about a week to get used to it. I highly recommend this mattress to you!View More Reviews
We have had our mattress for 2 weeks and me and my wife LOVE IT!!!!!
My wife is sensitive to outgassing from new foam products. A $1600 Serta mattress we purchased a year ago required multiple days of airing before it was "sleepable". However, this mattress (Twin XL) was out of the plastic cover and on the bed and sleepable the same night. The only think is that for a side sleeper, I would have preferred a bit more firmness. However, the mattress is very comfortable and the value is GREAT
Comfortable, easy to assemble and great customer service!
A much better sleeping experience and much better shopping experience too. One of the things I dread about mattress shopping in stores is that the choices are overwhelming and the added high pressure doesn't help. We love our Lull. We haven't been able to sleep a full night in the same bed for years. Now we prefer our full versus our queen which is an old mattress. Soon to be replaced I might add. With a Lull!
I have had my bed seen November it's great so far thank you
Best sleeping experience ever.
It took several weeks to see if we would Get all the benefits of the mattress. It Lives up to the high rating for sure Very happy
We had a rather crazy experience getting our bed, due to the shipping company. Lull was on top of it, and handled the situation well. They stepped in, and it was taken care of immediately. They checked it right after ordering as well. We couldn't be more pleased with the purchase.
I can see why they stand behind this mattress is a great product very comfortable lives up to its reputation
I absolutely love my lull!
My wife and I have been sleeping on our new Lull mattress for two weeks now and just love it!! We both used to have back pains and didn't sleep well on our old spring mattress. Back pains are gone and we both sleep through the night! Thanks Lull!!
I went into this with great skepticism. I admit it. I have always slept on a very firm mattress and I couldn't imagine a mattress that shipped in a box would be firm enough. But after reading the reviews I figured I'd give it a try (the 100 night guarantee had a lot to do with that decision). And I'm so glad I took the leap. Crazy fast shipping! I gave it one night for it to plump up all the way and blissful sleep ever since. I'm honestly sleeping better than ever. I have plenty of support but the mattress seems to conform to every area of my body. Lull lives up to every promise.
I have been sleeping on this mattress for about a month now, nothing but raves from me. I would recommend a Lull Mattress to anyone considering buying a mattress and encourage anyone who has not given a thought to buying a new mattress to change gears. As a bonus, I paid for this mattress one day and delivered the next, can't beat that for service. Let's see: didn't have to go to the store, didn't have to deal with sales people, didn't have to find a way to get it home or pay a delivery fee, the utility of this mattress is incredible, hmmm, musta made a good choice. Best.
Checking in after a couple of months and still so thankful I decided on 'My Lull'. From the first night till now, I continue to fall asleep quickly and never have an uncomfortable position . I am a very happy side sleeper. I never felt the 'adjustment period' from a spring bed to this type of product. What I felt was comfort and simple and grateful full night's sleep. As others have said, my own sciatica disappeared. Proof to me about the alignment of your body makes a huge difference. I noticed it NOT being there after about the 2nd night. That's how quickly Lull showed me how much I needed this bed. I had sciatica for a few months, no idea why or how it started, but no longer a part of me. I also never had the odor from the mattress or packaging either, that some others had and also said left after a few days. I lucked out all around! If you feel you are all wrecked and also have an old spring bed, it's so worth buying this bed. Also the financing plan to make it easier for you if needed as it was for me.
mattress is really comfortable, and have nothing negative to say right now! getting a good nights sleep virtually every single night! love it!
Life's good wife say s back has nt hurt since we started using lull
I broke my back a month ago and am in a lot of pain. Sleep has been very difficult. Got my new Lull Mattress and was so pleased. First night of comfort and peaceful sleep. The mattress sleeps cool and is just the right degree of firm/softness. The service and delivery was so prompt. Thank you ...THANK YOU ! !
I'll be honest that it took a few weeks to get used to... it's firm... but within that time period back pain went away, sleep got better, etc. - I didn't have to "get comfortable" after using the bathroom in the middle of the night, almost any position was fine. Worth it!
Love my mattress. Best sleep I've had in years. Firm, but not too firm. So glad I decided to go with a Lull mattress.
Love it
Everything was excellent. It arrived a lot sooner than expected. It was easy to set-up easy and unwrap. So far I love it.
I've only slept on it a couple of times because it's at my new house right now but every time I've slept on it, it's been amazing. I don't have anymore back or neck problems. It's very comfortable, I no longer experience tossing and turning. It's great.
Great, comfortable sleep, and awesome bed.
It is heavenly.
We have had great experiences with it so far. Definitely an upgrade from our old mattress, we love it.
Very convenient, process of getting into the house and on the bed was very simple and easy. Astounded by how easy it was to finance.
Pretty comfortable.
Really simple, fast, and easy. And so far we love it.
Amazing mattress. I am really happy with it!
It's fantastic! I purchased it for my mom, so she loves it.
Good experience it was exactly what i expected.
I can sleep on anything, my boyfriend is picky but he absolutely he loves it. I do sleep a little hot on it but other than that it's great.
Very very comfortable. My husband has had problems with his back but now he is getting six hours of sleep at night.
I purchased this for my son, he is very happy and has not complained. The minute we opened it he's loved it. He usually has back and neck pain but he's had no pain from this mattress.
I think the bed is working for us. My wife has a few issues with her back so we are still monitoring my wife's back pain and seeing if this bed is working. I think the mattress is helping us with better sleep.
It's great! Really comfortable. I am sleeping pretty well on it.
Website was good. It's for my daughter. She likes it a lot.
I really enjoy it, it's a great mattress. It's better than anything else I've tried. I love that it's the right amount of firmness. I love that it came in a box and was easy to set up.
It's getting better. In the beginning I needed to adjust, I was having some back pain, but still working it out.
My husband and I love our new mattress. We are sleeping better than ever.View More Reviews
Purchased this bed a couple weeks ago and wanted to give it some time to make sure before I wrote a review. This Bed is Fantastic! I did so so so much research and reading of reviews on beds to make sure I picked the right one. I'm still trying to figure out what some of the two star reviews are talking about. I'm almost mad they made me so nervous about purchasing the bed. I purchased the King in medium firmness and it is so comfortable....to the point that I was late for work one day which never happens! Keep in mind, my last bed was an old spring one with a memory foam topper. I think what really sold me was the customer service. The people that I talked to on the live chat were super awesome. I spent 10 minutes talking to one guy about my body weight and trying to decide which level firmness I should go with. Another company I was leaning toward was more expensive and didn't have any Black Friday deals. This wasn't a problem but the way they told me was. They went on about how they are a true mattress company unlike these "phony" other ones and that's why they don't give deals.... and you had to pay 100 bucks for delivery. anyway the customer service was fantastic and in my opinion that wins out every time, especially when it comes to returning something. In conclusion, mattress is great, I'm hoping to be able to get their pillows some day.
I wrote a review before for the Alexander signature bed, but it did not get posted. It was either too long or nest bedding didn't like what I said. I ordered the bed in the king size and medium firmness. At first the medium felt very hard and I had to check the tag on the bed to confirm it was medium. After a few weeks the bed softens up very nicely. Overall the alexander signature is extremely supportive and provided great pressure relief. the main issue my wife and I had was the bed slept very hot. We purchased a foundation from nest that was breathable (we were using new tempurpedic flat foundations). We also purchased bamboo sheets, wool comforter and linen duvet cover and four different bed protectors (two waterproof and cooling and two non-waterproof and cotton). Using the organic cotton bed protector the bed was cool enough to sleep on on most days. Ultimately we returned the bed for the hybrid latex. The bed would be a 5 star product if it slept cooler.
I returned my signature hybrid bed for the signature series "medium" because the hybrid did not feel enough like memory foam for me. The new mattress feels much more like a memory foam bed but maybe not quite to the level I was hoping. The mattress does sleep bit warm but overall comfortable. Customer service has been great.
Great bed and really helps with my back problems
I purchased the signature series medium firmness in the king size. I had very high hopes for this bed. I purchased a $2k bed from Denver Mattress about 1.5 yrs ago and have suffered from back pain the entire time. The Alexander arrived from FedEX (dumped in my driveway. Not nest bedding fault, but a lazy fedex driver). When I opened the box there was minimal offgasing, which went away quickly. I originally put the Alexander on a solid tempurpedic foundation. The bed at first felt much firmer then a medium. So much so that my wife wanted me to send the bed back after one day. After about a week the bed softened up very nicely and is a true medium. After the bed broke in a bit it was with out a doubt the most comfortable bed I've every slept in. The only problem was, my wife and I were waking up every night extremely hot. We were both so hot that it was hard to sleep. We tried two different cooling waterproof bed protectors, and a regular pillow-top non-waterproof cotton protector and bamboo sheets. The cooling protectors made the bed sleep hotter. I then purchased an organic stretch knit cotton protector (non-waterproof), the nestbedding foundation (which is very breathable) and the bed did sleep cooler (although I spent hundreds of dollars at this point). By this time I had already ordered the latex hybrid bed from nest to replace the signature bed. Ultimately, I highly recommend the Alexander signature bed to anyone looking for amazing support and an amazing feeling bed. However, if you sleep very hot you might want to look at the hybrid or latex beds. Also, nest beding was very easy to work with on the replacement. They had me donate the Alexander signature bed. I was able to find a very deserving couple that was sleeping on a 30 yr old mattress that are beyond happy they received this bed. Customer service was excellent from Nestbedding. If the bed slept cooler it would be a 5 star review.
The best mattress I've ever purchased!!!
Really liking this mattress, it's been great to sleep on. So much support and nice and thick. It definitely still smells like memory foam though even after having it for more than a month. I let it air out for a couple of days before using and can still smell it. This varies from mattress to mattress I'm sure but just be aware it can happen.
Happy but at the moment having trouble with my shoulders hurting maybe needs to be softer. Contemplating ordering a king size if I can correct the shoulder ache
Bought this mattress because our $3500 Tempurpedic became senile and lost its memory after only eight years. This Alexander Signature series mattress has been great right out of the box. We have been sleeping on it now for about 6 weeks and NO complaints. We highly recommend this mattress & company. Fast , friendly, knowledgeable service.
Ordered online, wasn't sure I'd like it, but everything turned out great. Super soft and comfortable... my mom likes it better than her bed.
We have recently purchased the Alexander Signature series bed, and holy cow, I noticed a difference in sleep within the first week. I felt more rested, and it was sure comfy. It was really easy to take out of a box and move from the apartment building mail office to our apartment. The box ripped while we were carrying it, but it almost made it easier to grip the round mattress than the handles on the box. I would definitely recommend this mattress and nest bedding to whoever is talking about buying a new mattress. We also were able to try it out at an online mattress showroom we have in the Twin Cities called Sleep Sherpa. So if you are not from Minnesota, look up to see if there are any of those type stores by you!
Shipped quickly and neatly. Love the mattress, it needs a little time to mold into a custom fit the sleeper, and now after the adjustment period, I am finding more peaceful and restful sleeps. Love the financing tool as well! Super quick and easy.
This was our 2nd purchase from Nest for our guest bedroom. We love the Alexander soft and the service Nest also provides. Thank you!
Excellent. Well built/designed and no damage/flaws. I really am happy with this purchase, sleeping has improved and this is extremely comfortable. Sleepopolis was a fantastic resource for study. I chose this over five others. Very difficult decision, but again, I have no regrets.
Excellent customer service throughout the order process and all arrived as expected and on time. Bed is super comfy!
I'll start by saying that I prefer a spring matress over memory foam but for a foam matress this is far and away my favorite I have slept on. Tried another brand and returned it as it was too firm for my preferences.
So soft. A guy my size, 230 5'9'' sink right in. Great on wife's shoulders as a side sleeper. I myself prefer a bit more firm but highly recommend this mattress and Nest bedding for that matter. Great customer service and great communication.
Love it. A great nights sleep.
We have had the signature medium for about a month, king size. When we first got it, it was really firm, I couldn't even sleep on it. But, it has softened up a bit, but no much. I have to say that I have since gotten used to it, and I actually find it very comfortable. I am used to sleeping on a pillow top soft mattress, so the transition was difficult, but worth it in the end. I sleep more soundly, and my arms don't fall asleep anymore. I am a side sleeper, and no more back and hip pain. I do however, wish it was just slightly softer. If you are looking for a softer matress and are stuck between the soft and medium, the medium to me is slightly on the firmer side. I am 5'7", about 140 lbs. my husband is around 200, but he can sleep on anything. Overall great mattress.
I was hesitant to try buying a mattress online. I'm glad I did and I wish I hadn't waited so long. This mattress is not as soft as our last one but after sleeping on it a few nights, I realized that it is more supportive but still soft enough to snuggle into. Our previous mattress (from a retail store) in retrospect was too soft, didn't give enough support and was twice as expensive. This is a much better buy. My husband and I both love the new mattress. I'm glad I didn't go with the medium, it wouldn't have been plush enough for me. This feels more like a medium soft mattress. It was easy to set up. It's been over a month now and so far so great!
I own a king Tempur-Pedic Contor firm, spent $USD 3300 several years ago and my wife and I really love it. The Nest Alexander firm king we purchased two months ago is absolutely fully comparable to it in terms of comfort and full body support at one third the price. Excellent value for the money, we cannot distingush any differences between the two mattresses.
We had a spring mattress prior, never had memory foam. When needed, and overdue for, a new mattress, spent much time looking at mattresses and reading reviews. We got our mattress from Nest almost 4 wks ago. I like a softer mattress then my husband so compromised with a medium of the alexander signature mattress. Husband noticed a little outgassing, but I didn't (i do use 2 pillows). I did not feel there was any breaking in time, mattress was comfortable right away. Both of us are comfortable with this mattress although not sure it helps with my husbands back pain. I have a problem with hot feet so i was interested in the cooling of the mattress. The bed warms up under your body torso but elsewhere is cool. That helps me because i can move my feet and it is cool anywhere they are. There is some collapse at bed edge but has not been a problem and I do sit on edge to put socks and shoes on. It is difficult making bed, may be because set in platform bed and diff to get sheets around corners and edge- too heavy to lift corners up.
Was skeptical, but now a believer. Great night sleep.
Very comfortable mattress, but their customer service is what makes this company stand out. Excellent.
I purchased the Alexandar signature series and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! One month in and it's as comfortable as ever! It's hard to want to get up in the morning...
I cannot find the words to express our satisfaction with The Alexander Signature Series Mattress. It is the best mattress we've ever owned. Period. Back problems gone. Pressure point pains gone. Stiff joins in the morning gone. A perfect night's sleep every night since it arrived. We could not be more pleased!
I'm in the process of contancting the company to try to change my mattress for the medium firm because the signature firm is almost like sleeping on the ground imo. I've had it for a month and a half and I've tried jumping on it and tried to break it in but it feels really hard. I'd go for the medium at least. 3 stars for positive customer support up to this point and the ability to finance through affirm
My review is not about the mattress itself since I only had it for a day but about the way it's been delivered. I received a notification that my mattress will be delivered yesterday. I took the old mattress down and started waiting at home. It was getting late and I was wondering why it has not been delivered yet. I opened the door to check and found the box lying around by my rose bushes far from my door and one side of the was box open as if it has been thrown. They did not even knock on the door, apparently just throw it and left. Believe me, I get lots of deliveries and I've never seen anything like this. So frustrating. It made me question whether I bought my mattress from a wrong company.
I am writing this review from my nest bedding mattress right now. My significant other and I are overjoyed with our decision.
This is our first memory foam mattress, to date happy with the quality. The mattress is firmer than I'm used to, but have been resting well. Maybe as it gets used it may loose some firmness but I would be okay with that. The delivery and set up went as planned no complaints.
Night #1 on our new Nest bed.... Well, we've tried 3 beds so far and we may have a winner!!! Thank you Josh in the Denver Nest Store who helped me with deciding on a model. Joe Alexander- after 1 night on our Alexander Signature Soft King - my husband got up and said his back felt good and the bed was "pretty good". That is a high compliment after 3 months of rock hard "soft" beds. And after 2 failed mattresses. A suggestion: R & D should come out with a mattress for waterbed lovers. We had ours about 20-25 years and it wore out. I know I'm not the only person who loved their waterbed and is now looking for that cushiony feel but is struggling. I hope we found our new bed!!! Looking forward to night #2!!! Kim 😊👍🏼🙌🏼
I sincerely regret purchasing this mattress, because pretty much all I think about when I'm at work is getting back into bed. I recently decided that it was time for a new mattress and after inadequate research settled on a Purple. I know several people who claim, verbatim, that they are "obsessed" with their Purple, but it was entirely too firm for my liking. I realized that as a side sleeper I much prefer a softer mattress. When the recycling company came to pick the Purple up when I returned it, they told me a lot of people return them. I purchased the Nest Alexander Signature Series in soft, and I AM obsessed. It's squishy without compromising support, you sink into it but not so much that you get stuck. I do still think it has a memory foam feel to it even with the quilting, but it's not as pronounced or slow to react as many memory foams. If you're a side sleeper who loves feeling like you're sleeping on a cloud, I highly recommend the Nest Alexander Signature Series mattress in the soft comfort level.
I love this bed! It's the best bed I have ever owned. The only bed I have ever slept on that felt better was in a fancy hotel and even though I looked under the sheets and googled the bed, it was not available for retail. I slept on my friend's bed that is the same as this, and bought mine based on that. I'm so glad I did!
I just got my Alexander Signature Soft Mattress and I LOVE IT!!! I've never had such an amazing mattress. When I lay on the mattress, it hugs me in all the right places and gives me support where I need it. I feel like they actually made me a custom nest for my body! I had the Purple Mattress before, and after Nest Bedding, I realize how uncomfortable the Purple Mattress was. Purple sells you a slab of rubber with holes in it and markets it as a bed. Nest sells you the Rolls Royce of mattresses with the finest materials at an affordable price. Don't fall for Purple's creative marketing. if you're looking to buy a bed, buy a real bed from Nest. If you're looking to buy a science experiment, buy a mattress from Purple. Even better, Nest customer service is AMAZING. I called in and spoke to Amber because I had some concerns with being a little warm at night, probably because of the mattress protector I was using (which I purchased from Purple) and she sent me the Nest Cooling Mattress Protector (which I'm very excited to try) FOR FREE!! You can't beat a company that cares about the products they make, and the customers that buy it. Beds are different for everybody, some people like Purple but I definitely prefer Nest Bedding. If you're looking for a Mattress give Nest a try, you'll fall in love! (and deep soothing slumber) Thank you Amber for making my sleep experience awesome! Very excited to try the cooling mattress protector!
Pretty smooth
Bought the Medium mattress but it was too soft. Sent an email to the company to ask about upgrading to the firm mattress as we were within thne100 day time frame. Received a reply from the president of Nest almost immediately confirming that the new mattress would be shipped as soon as it was manufactured. It is perfect and Nest has a lifetime customer
I had tried a Casper mattress and found it too hard, as I am a side sleeper. The purchase and shipping with Nest was easy. For the first night, I found the Alexander soft mattress to be too soft, but it took about two weeks for either the foam to firm up, or for my body to get used to it. I am now really liking the softness of the mattress, as it is plush on top and more gradiented below, while some other mattresses have a top plush layer, but you only sink until you hit a harder layer below. There was no odor with this mattress, the quilting on top is lovely and is nice enough without a mattress pad, and my dog absolutely adores the bed.
I tried 3 different beds to help my side sleep aches and pains and the nest alexander signature was the best for me. Company were great to work with.
We've never slept on memory foam before, so this purchase was a huge decision for us. We were coming from a 13 year old Sleep Number that couldn't be salvaged any longer. It took some getting used to for the first month, but I'm so glad we switched. No more morning back pain! Still adjusting to how it feels as a side sleeper and still healing from the joint pain the other mattress caused, but every day is better. Thank you Nest!!! I hope to buy another for our guest room one day.
