**DOUBLE REVIEW** Safe Word by Teresa Mummert
h1 style="text-align:center;">Safe Word by Teresa Mummert
A chance meeting with a stranger can turn your entire world upside down. When Colton 'Colt' Bishop enters a bar in New York City, he has a plan. His job is to find an easy target and take her back to his place for a few days. He is working his way up the crime ladder doing a job he never wanted. Lily Hilton has it all, but is hiding from a troublesome past. When she enters a bar downtown, and runs into her old high school crush, her entire world is turned upside down. She is determined to make him notice her, but that plan may work better than she expects. Colton does not hesitate to take Lily home and use her as his new pawn, but their past begins to catch up with them as their secrets unravel and he must decide what is more important to him, protecting Lily or himself.
All I can say is WOW!!! This book was not exactly what I was expecting at all, especially with all the teaser's that were posted. With that said though think about what the teaser is meant to do. They are put out there to grab our interest in the book and as we all know those teaser's did the trick. Teresa did an amazing job at pulling us into this story just like she always has. One more thing before I go into the review please take the time and read this book even if it isn't what you expected because the story truly is amazing. O.K. enough with the little ramble onto the review.
Colt and Lily as we are introduced to them have a heart wrenching history to say the least. Lily/Rose suffered dearly as a young adult and Colt/Cole was always there for her. For the sake of this review I am going to refer to them as Rose and Cole because that to me is who they truly are even if they both go by different names now. Most of the story takes place in Cole's point of view with a ton of flashbacks to when him and Rose were just teenagers. I have to say there were times that I just wanted to knock the piss out of Rose. I totally felt for her and what she had to endure but the way she treated Cole is just awful. Then there is teenage Cole and the abuse and neglect and loss he suffered that turned him into a man that does not care what he has to do to survive.
Throughout the story I was not 100% sure what the ending was going to be and if Cole and Rose could make it through to the other side. Rose was hiding herself from her past while Cole was doing what he had to do. You are left constantly wondering how or what Cole is going to do next. Does he love Rose still or does he truly blame her for what he has turned into. The chemistry between the two is unbelievable, the sex is HOT!!! but most important is the love that you know these two have for each other.
There is love, kidnapping, sex, death, crime, and tons and tons of drama. When you are at about the finish line and the whole story comes together you are like wait, what in the hell is going on and then it's like a smack to your head and it all just kind of falls into place. At the same time though you are squeezing your hands together and ready to throw you Ereader across the room because what should have been a happily ever after seems to be falling right through their fingertips. Hold on don't throw anything and swear you will not finish reading the story keep going take a deep breath and see what happens in the end.
I am a huge fan of Teresa and this book just added yet another reason for me to love her books.
Amy's Review
I was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed because I was expecting a completely different book due to the teasers that were posted on Facebook. I still enjoyed it and think this is a great book. I loved Rose and Cole. I loved Lily and Colt. And of course loved Ruby and Cameron.
Rose and Cole went threw a horrible childhood. I felt for both of them threw the book. I enjoyed reading the flashbacks that Colt would have of the two. It really put more details into their past together. Rose having a rough childhood then changes her name to Lily. After years of not seeing Cole she goes to find him only to realize the Cole she knew was not the same and now went by Colt. He was a complete alpha male, bad ass, and mean as shit but with good reasons. 🙂 I hated the stepfather and the ex-Fiance with a passion.
The love was real in this book. You could feel the struggles that Colt went threw. The sex was hot. I did expect more in that department but was content with what it had. This was a great story and it flowed perfectly. Another great book by Teresa Mummert.
About the Author
I was a Russian spy at the ripe age of thirteen, given my uncanny ability to tell if someone was lying ( I also read fortunes on the weekends). By sixteen I had become too much of a handful for the Lethal Intelligence Ensemble (L.I.E.). I was quickly exiled to the south of France where I worked with wayward elephants in the Circus of Roaming Animals and People (C.R.A.P.). I was able to make ends meet by selling my organs on the black market for pocket change and beer money. At the age of twenty three I decided to expand my horizons and become a blackjack dealer in Ireland. I loved the family atmosphere at Barney's Underground Liquor Lounge (B.U.L.L.). People couldn't resist the allure of Liquor up front and poker in the rear. Eventually I became tired of the rear and headed off to the United States to try my hand at tall tales. That is what brings us here today. If you have a moment I'd like to tell you a story.

**Blog Tour** Love Notes by Heather Gunter
Title: Love Notes
Author: Heather Gunter
Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 2, 2013

How do you cope when the people you care for hurt you the most? When the way you feel on the outside, smothers you on the inside. And when you are left to face your demons alone, will you learn that only you have the power to overcome them? Charlie has never had it easy. Between the constant moving and the incessant fat comments and jokes from her father, her self-worth is nonexistent. Her reflection in the mirror shows her nothing but a plain Jane. Music is the only thing that keeps her sanity in check. Charlie catches the eye of the town star quarterback, Maverick. With her curves, her brunette hair, and the voice of an angel, Maverick has never met anyone like her. Everything that is different about Charlie just makes Maverick like her more. Unfortunately, Charlie doesn't see it herself. Proving it to her may deem harder than he thinks, especially when tragedy strikes and tears them apart. Now standing on her own two feet she may finally learn exactly who she is, what's she's capable of and how very un plain Jane she really is.
Excerpt 1:
I turn to Will, "Dude was that really necessary?" Will just throws his quirky smile up and shrugs his shoulders.
"Couldn't be helped bro. It looked like you were drooling all over yourself. We are talking baby drool bad. And I, being your best friend and all, am here to help keep you from the massive embarrassment you were fixing to bestow upon yourself."
I hang my head, stare at the floor and smile. "Can't help it Will. I like her, I like her a lot."
I knew I wouldn't catch any ribbing from him, considering his infatuation with a certain red head.
Will starts chuckling, "Yeah, yeah, I know. I could tell. You forget, I've known you since diapers. I have to say though Maverick, I've never seen you so, so….Twitter painted."
Nice. A Disney reference.
"You ass," I laugh, and playfully punch him in the arm and grab him into a headlock. Of course, it doesn't faze him and he's laughing like the tool he is. I let go and he finally stops laughing and turns serious, like the switching of a light.
"Nah, seriously dude, I can tell you like her. She's hot Maverick, and seems really nice. She also doesn't seem very into herself, which is rare. Plus, I also saw her walking with Tori earlier. So I know she's got to be cool."
I instantly feel a pang of jealousy. I must have gotten a look on my face and Will can read me like a damn book.
"Now, now don't get all territorial and go pissing all over her. That might turn her off," he says. I simmer down because I know he still has feelings for someone else. It was the fact that he noticed. But then again, anyone would notice. How could you not? I just don't want any competition. The thought of someone else with her was driving me insane.
My Review…
I really enjoyed this book. The things that Charlie went threw is something that is so real these days its crazy. And it doesn't just happen in high school. This is something that happens to even grown adults which is really sad. This book will hopefully help some people out in realizing that its not ok to be talked down to like that. I felt for Charlie threw the whole book. I even teared up a lot threw out. Maverick was so sweet and caring. It really is hard to find guys that are the whole package like he is. He was there to show her the way. They had true love. This book to me was great. I cant wait for the next book with Tori and Will. I was really hoping they would end up together in this book and I am glad they are getting there own book.
Charlies parents…. If I could I would jump into this book and beat the crap out of Charlies Mom and "Dad". They had me so pissed off. I have kids and could never in a million years imagine doing to them what Charlie went threw. Thank goodness for Tori and her Mom.
My favorite part of this book is a letter that Maverick wrote to Charlie. :
"Dear Charlie,
I wanted to leave you with something to think about. The yellow rose is a symbol of friendship, where we are starting at. However, the red around the tips of the petals means that I have feelings that I would like to see grow into more. Please remember our talk from earlier. I meant every damn word.
Your friend, but hopefully not for much longer,

We must overcome and prevail …
King Raemon is slaughtering tattooed scribes and mages, forcing them into hiding. All marked and those associated with them are destroyed. The people are desperate. Months after challenging Raemon, the marked rebels of Medeisia must rise against their bloodthirsty king or chance being annihilated.

Following the lead of a scarred and forgotten prince, Drastona will embark on a journey with an unlikely band of rebels and a dragon across a cursed desert to bring down a king and save a kingdom.
One corner of Kye's lips quirked upward, his hand taking mine. He turned it over, his fingers playing slowly across my palm. I should have pulled away, but I didn't.
"You will never change, will you, Stone? You will never accept that some must be lost for much to be gained."
I shook my head, my eyes on his fingers as they traced the lines of my hands. It was a curious sensation, and warmth unfurled in the pit of my stomach, lighting a fire that heated every corner of my body.
"Should I change?" I whispered hoarsely.
Kye's smile grew. "No, you keep us balanced. I keep the rebels fighting for freedom, and you keep us all humble."
I forced my eyes away from my palm. How was I supposed to think when he was drawing shapes like that on my skin? I tugged on my hand. Kye refused to let go.
"You've forgiven me," he stated.
It wasn't a question, and his boldness with my hand made me bold as well. I lifted my free hand, reaching tentatively for his face. He watched me, his eyes alert, his breathing stilled.
My finger touched the scar on his temple, and he exhaled, his eyes closing. The fingers he'd been drawing circles with on my palm froze.
"So many scars," I breathed. "You had enough without my hatred."

I'm not supposed to love him. I'm supposed to… hell, I don't know what I'm supposed to feel. He could never love me the way I could love him. He'll just leave me alone and heartbroken.
"Angel?' I hear him coming up behind me.
"I don't want to talk about it, Slade. I just need time to think." I continue to walk down the hallway, not looking back at him.
He grabs my arm and spins me around roughly, knocking me up against the wall. Before I can ask what the hell he's doing, his lips are on mine, and his hands grab my thighs, lifting me up. I don't hesitate, wrapping my legs around him and kissing him back. He lets go of my legs and fists his hands tightly in my hair as he starts walking us to his bedroom. This is how it needs to be between us. Just sex, no love.

10 Stars for Suicide Note by Teresa Mummert
Nicole's Review~
I have to say that I have read this book at least three times already. I had reviewed it once before on Goodreads and then my children got a hold of my iPad and deleted a crap load of stuff. So I decided I'm gonna read all my books again and now that I am part of this blog give out new reviews.
Suicide Note is a touching second chance romance read. I found my heart breaking for all the things Jenn and Shane have gone through in their lives. I have to start by saying the military is so hugely important to my family, my father, brother and nephew are all Marines and my father in law and uncles were Army. I have luckily not had to live through any of them being deployed but from this story you truly get the feel of how the ones left behind and the ones that go off to war feel.
Jenn is a young woman who thought she had it all that she wanted in life. She had the job she wanted and the man she was going to be marrying in just a few short months. That all changed for her one night when she found out what or who he was doing when he was out late at night. Jenn family was super critical of her and she had a warped sense of self.
Shane is an Army man through and through he had always know that he wanted to be a solider. Like Jenn he thought he had it all. However for him one debasing day in Iraq led to a phone call that forever changed his life when his fiancée told him that she couldn't handle him being away any more.
Shane and Jenn meet while Shane is on leave. Shane is visiting his cousin in Maine Jenn works with his cousin. Jenn is getting ready to celebrate her birthday but no one knows that all her plans are is to sit on her bridge and get lost in her book. Shane finds a note that appears to be a suicide note and he rushes out to find his cousin, he runs into Jenn at the office and she takes him to find his cousin. When they can't find him the go their separate ways until he later he finds her spending her birthday all alone on the bridge. Their story really begins sitting in the edge of that bridge.
They start off just doing fun things together because Shane sees this sadness in her and he wants to make it go away. As they continue to spend time together the lines of friendship becomes blurred yet neither one of them know what to do. Shane is holding on to a secret that could devastate Jenn. He has lead her to believe that he is just going to back home to North Crolina when in truth he is leaving to return to Iraq.
They finally see that they have stringers feelings for one another and decide to take the next step but just before that happens Shane confesses that he will be in Iraq, to say Jenn is devasted is an understatement but she knows that Shane is who she has been waiting for her whole life. As the story continues your heart strings are pulled in so many different directions. You can't help but feel for these two people who have found their other half. Shane is so scared that he will end up heartbroken again.
I can not stress to you how great this story is. I found myself laughing at the silly things these two did. I found myself saying aww at all the sweet things that Shane did for Jenn. Most of all I found myself crying imagining how hard the deployment had to be for these two. Teresa does an amazing job of drawing you into this story. I can say that I did not want this story to end. As I said in the beginning I have read this book multiple times and I will continue to read it again and again. Please do yourself a favor and pick this book up.

Loving Liberty by Belinda Boring
New Adult Contemporary Romance
"Ready?" he asked, aware I was checking him out and enjoying it the attention. His hand beckoned me to approach, and I let out a soft sigh. He stepped away from the table, waiting for me to stand in front of him, my back to his front. "I'm going to have you break, okay?" He moved in closer, and I prayed my legs wouldn't give. I could feel every inch of him pressed against me.
"Okay," I stammered. Oliver chuckled low in my ear and I tried not to shiver. Bending me forward with his body, he showed me how to position the pool stick, his arm alongside mine. We fit perfectly.
"Still with me, Liberty?" he asked. I didn't want to move. We were so connected, the position so intimate, I was sure I was ready to combust on the spot. Andrew had tried holding me this close and it had made my skin crawl. It was the complete opposite with Oliver. This made me feel wanton. Reckless.
"Uh huh." It was the only way I could respond.
"It's just you need to keep breathing, sweetheart." His use of that endearment made my insides melt. "Be brave."

Stocks quiet after minutes
Release of minutes from federal reserve meeting changes little
New York
The stock market turned quiet Wednesday and just managed to notch a fifth straight day of gains.
Even the release of minutes from the latest meeting of the Federal Reserve didn't jolt stocks.
Two major U.S. stock indexes were barely changed. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose a fraction of a point to 1,652.62. The Dow Jones industrial average eased 8.68 points, or 0.1 percent, to 15,291.66.
Every move the Fed has made in recent months has been analyzed. Wednesday's minutes from the June policy meeting were no exception.
But the minutes offered no surprises. The report showed many Fed members want to see further job gains before cutting back on the central bank's stimulus measures. It also showed some divisions among officials over when the Fed should slow that stimulus.
"I don't think the minutes offered anything that would change (my) view of the market's direction or the Fed's intentions," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist for Prudential Annuities.
The small gain in the S&P 500 kept alive its winning streak. The index has now risen five days, its best streak in two months. Investors have become more confident about the economy after the strong June jobs report. The index is up 2.9 percent in July after falling 1.5 percent in June, its first monthly decline since October.
In another sign of confidence, small-company stocks continued their surge. The Russell 2000, which represents 2,000 publicly traded companies with small market valuations, rose 2.4 points, or 0.2 percent, to a record 1,020.42.
The Nasdaq, meanwhile, is at its highest level since October 2000. The Nasdaq gained 16.5 points, or 0.5 percent, to 3,520.76. Despite its rise, the index would still have to rise 43 percent to match its all-time high of 5,048 reached March 10, 2000 on the dot-com bubble.

We are counting down the last 3 weeks of school and Peanut's attention span is non-existent these days. So I decided to build on her love for France and have her make a salt-dough map! We began the outline last night, as you can see in the picture above she is totally in love. She insisted on having her picture taken in France. (I love this girl so much!)
This morning we got right to work, mixing and pressing out the dough on the outline. It's still not totally finished yet, but here is where she's at so far.
She is doing a fabulous job. She really wanted to paint the Pyrennes Mountains pink and purple and didn't think I would let her. She was very happy when I told her to get creative!

The Unique Creature: Honey Badger
Certainly, you have a general idea of how a honey badger looks like, especially if you watch the National Geographic channel. The fascinating movies from different parts of the word capture this strange animal in different environments giving you a better picture of the real nature of this animal. Honey badgers are usually found in sub-Saharan Africa therefore you are less likely to see them if you do not come from these parts of the world. However, sometimes videos show unique characteristics of this animal which may not be observed by anybody who visits the zoo. Additionally, those who shoot these videos use advanced technology to capture the behavior of the animals in their natural setting without distracting them.
Honey badger is quite a unique animal that practically consumes any small creature that moves whether birds, lizards or rodents. This animals got their name because they often attack the beehives to take honey and eventually destroy the hive completely. Bees are sometimes forced to move from one hive to another because of endless attacks by the honey Badger. The badgers usually attack at night since they are nocturnal while bees are rarely active at night thus usually caught quite unprepared. Although bees sense vibrations and anticipate attack, they do not fight back since they do not see well and may not get out of the hive due to the cold weather.
Honey is a great source of nutrients to the honey badgers due to its energy helpful for night foraging. These animals therefore could do anything to get to the hive irrespective of the hindrances strategically placed by the bee farmers or the natural features of indigenous tree within which the bees live. Badgers have developed unique characteristics that allow them to plunder and break into the hive without much hassle.
Honey badgers featured at http://www.honeybadgerbattle.com have a very thick coat made of deep and tough skin and a layer of fur making it hard for the bees to sting the animal during attacks. Nevertheless, the coat does not completely prevent them from bee stings particularly in the tender spots like the tongue, the nose and such other parts. If the bees continuously attack these soft spots, the badger may quit the hunt for some time before it starts all over again.
The most amazing adaptation of honey badgers is the ability to withstand the poison even when bitten by the venomous snakes like cobra. The animal seems dead for some time before it wakes up as if nothing had happened!

A Little Bit WickedBook - 2007
Who will be the last unmarried man standing?
No man in his right mind would want to get married, but every duke, earl, and viscount knows that a fellow must do his duty in the end. So four of London's most desirable gentlemen make a wager--the prize going to the one who remains unwed the longest.
Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, thinks he has a fair shot at winning. After all, he's managed to enjoy the favors of many a lady while resisting the parson's noose. Even when he's stopped dead in his tracks by the most scandalous woman in all of London--Judith, Lady Chester--he vows to have her bedded but never wedded.
Beautiful, and more than a little bit naughty, Judith has always kept herself within the bounds of respectability, even while playing by her own rules. And the experience has taught her to avoid marriage. She has no desire to resist Warton's hot kisses, and his tempting touch is impossible to ignore.
But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder . . . is it possible to be a little bit wicked and still follow your heart?
From the critics

A BMW With the Heart of a Lawn Mower
A retired pilot shows off his tiny car, a 1958 Isetta
John Wallace, a 5-foot-9 retired airline pilot in Austin, Texas, on his 1958 BMW Isetta, as told to A.J. Baime:
Everywhere I go, the Isetta gets a lot of attention. People ask the same questions. If I were to make a list of answers, it would look like this:

The 9/11 Memorial Museum is set to open this week. It sits on ground zero and promises to present "intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning, and recovery." But some people are angry —, asking how a gift shop plays into that whole idea. "It was opened to tell the story of one of the darkest days in our nation's history ... Family of those lost in Sept. 11 are outraged that the museum has a store ... One family member calling it insensitive and repugnant." (Via Fox News) The shop sells a number of items, including mugs, key chains, T-shirts, hats, hoodies, bookmarks and more bookmarks. (Via National September 11 Memorial & Museum) A mother who lost her son in the 9/11 attacks spoke with the New York Post, saying, "Here is essentially our tomb of the unknown. To sell baubles I find quite shocking ... I think it's a money-making venture to support inflated salaries, and they're willing to do it over my son's dead body." In this New York Times article, several New Yorkers were quoted expressing their issues with the museum. It seemed one major complaint is the feeling that the museum is not meant for New Yorkers. One man who lost a brother said, "It was made for people who don't really know what 9/11 is about ... No one who went through what we went through needs a museum to tell us what we lost. We already know that in our hearts." "The problem I'm going to have with that is that I'm going to see people going there like tourist, and laughing and joking on their cellphone. Doing selfies in front of these things that really can not be expressed into words." (Via NY1) But not everyone has a problem with the gift shop, especially considering the museum is completely self-funded through admission fees and sales. CNN talked to the museum's president and CEO. "What's most important is whether the stories it tells ... helps fulfill our promise to never forget... We have to pay for it, we have to make sure this museum is available forever for everyone." Still, it's not just the gift shop causing controversy at the museum. There are still the remains of more than 1,000 unidentified people trapped in the rubble from 2001. Those remains have been moved to a new resting place. (Via Veterans Today) "A repository 70 feet under the 9/11 Memorial Museum. An area the medical examiners officer says will be off limits to the public." (Via WIVB) The museum's website says the repository will allow medical examiners to continue making identifications. Also, families of the victims will be allowed in a viewing area and will never be charged an entrance fee. (Via National September 11 Memorial & Museum) Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said this during the unveiling, "There are roughly 3,000 families that think this is a good idea and there's roughly a dozen that don't. No matter what you do not everyone is going to be on board." (Via The Telegraph) The 9/11 Memorial Museum will open to the public May 21.

FIRST Tech Challenge
The FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competition for middle and high school students offers the inspiration of a FIRST Robotics Competition, but is generally more affordable and accessible. It's also a great step up for experienced FIRST LEGO League teams.
Teams of up to 15 students, with adult leaders and mentors, build a remote-controlled robot using the Android controller and metal parts. Each year's game is different, and teams must strategize, design and build their robots accordingly. At competitions, two-team alliances square off in successive two-and-a-half minute rounds combining autonomous and operator-controlled play.
During the season, teams document their progress and the process behind the creation and deployment of their robot, then present their results to judges. Teams can earn awards in areas that include engineering, design excellence, competitive play and sportsmanship. Participants in the FIRST Tech Challenge are eligible for millions of dollars in college scholarships through FIRST.

Roberto Cavalli's Boho Chic
Roberto Cavalli has not changed his spots.
After a blowout 40th anniversary collection last season, Mr. Cavalli continued in the same vein this season with a bohemian layered look of pants, blouses, jackets, and maxidresses.
There was velvet, jacquard, feathers, fur and silk. And leopard prints.
Mr. Cavalli even reprised the location of his anniversary show: a transparent tent behind the magnificent Arco della Pace, or Peace Arch.
As the sun set, the softness of dusk filled the tent, and chandeliers suspended from the ceiling glowed.
The silhouette will please rock chicks. Skinny pants with a fringe down the thigh contrasted with flowing layers of silk blouses, exotic skin jackets, scarves and necklaces of feathers.
The feather-to-fur and heavily embroidered coats are what set Cavalli's look apart from less expensive versions of the same boho chic look.
The anti-fur protesters outside may have fallen on deaf ears.

So humbled to address today one of the most difficult/emotional decisions a woman ever has to make. And this decision sadly affects lots of women – too many of us. And based on many researchers, it will only affect more of us in the very near years ahead. I had to make this decision twice and it was difficult both times.
The decision is this: Should I do an IVF?
The other related questions usually are:
Should I wait and do nothing and see what happens? (and for how long?)
Should I first try more natural ways to heal my body? (and for how long?)
Should I first save some money for the procedure?
Should I keep trying clomid and IUIs?
Should I find a new job at a company that covers IVF?
Should I wait until my relationship feels more solid or until my spouse is more involved?
Should I find a new doctor who will investigate my health more before recommending IVF?
Should I skip IVF altogether and research adoption?
Oh, the complexity.
In case you're facing this decision, here my PROS and CONS and the same from 7 readers who have generously shared their thoughts:
From Mara:
-You get to see if it works! The curiosity is a hard one to pass up.
-Likely if IVF is on the table, one has already invested financially and emotionally in the medical route (tests, diagnosis, finding doctors, etc.) So IVF may feel like the easier next step. At that point, it feels like known territory in a way and it can feel like you should see those investments to the finish line.
-IVF is rampantly recommended by doctors. So very often, underlying health issues are not addressed and the procedure is more like throwing a dart to see if it will work for you. The problem is, if the underlying issue is not addressed, it's very likely that IVF won't work or the pregnancy will not be healthy.
-For me, IVF affected my hormones for an extended period after the IVF (the trailing off was close to a year, I'd say.) I normally have extremely stable cycles without PMS. Though I noticed a bit of it in the many months following the IVF. It was a sad thing to me to feel like I'd messed with my body so unnaturally.
-I mentioned once that I noticed some hair thinning and my curls have gone limp (compared to what they used to be). I noticed this happening after the IVFs and I later read that hormonal changes are one of the biggest causes of hair changes in women. There's a very good chance it was all related.
-Adding so many drugs to your body is just gross. I did about two hundred injections in two IVF cycles (I did have extras compared to a standard cycle, though.) Yuck!
-There is a lot at stake. It leads to a lot of stress for people's marriages and lives unless you go into it with a healthy mindset (if you want coaching on this, I offer mentoring sessions). IVF also greatly affects finances and can have a negative affect on your employment.
-You have to stay put for a very long time: doctors appointments galore; timed injections; refrigerated drugs. Travel for business or pleasure is pretty much out of the question. Don't even think about moving or changing jobs/insurance while you have your team of doctors in place for however long it takes.
-Infertility and IVF is a lifestyle. It dominates your life so much that other goals and pursuits are very much on the back burner.
-It's very expensive and it's more likely that it won't work on the first cycle. Having the procedure not work is one blow. Draining funds is another. Depending on your financial and health situation, financing an adoption may be more likely to lead to a child.
From Anon:
-It gave us a chance to have a biological child. Adoption wasn't the right choice for our family, and so if we wanted a child, this was the last chance.
-It's pretty common these days, so a lot of people knew what it was and were supportive.
-We got to choose when I got pregnant! I fit it in between school semesters! Obviously, we were lucky that the first try "took", but still!
– I was lucky and got to freeze a few extra embryos. Now I feel less pressure to pop out another when I am focusing on completing my degree right now. At 31, this quieted the biological clock for me a bit.
– It was actually (in retrospect) pretty cool to get such a close-up look at the miracle of life. I have a pic of my daughter at 5 days post fertilization. We got to watch them plant her as a tiny embryo on a big screen.
– Yucky drugs
– $$ and more $$
– Time and effort – constant appointments, research, taking time off work, etc., etc. It was a marathon, but after 4 years, we were used to it.
– Mental stress, life being in "limbo", feeling like I couldn't make plans because of this huge mountain we were climbing.
– One final con. I feel pressure from people, (even myself sometimes!) that because it was so much work for me to get pregnant, and it was such a miracle that I did, that I am somehow being ungrateful because I don't (and never did) want to be a full time stay-at-home mom. My own grandmother said to me when I told her my school plans "after all the trouble it took to get her here – you're going to leave her?" I was crushed. I had a hard time reaching out and getting help when I suffered from post-partum depression because I felt so guilty for being so unhappy when I was supposed to be so happy. I still struggle with this guilt.
From Michelle:
-I've thought about this a lot. The biggest cons I can see are the cost and the toll on my body, as well as the possible emotional letdown. I feel like I would put a lot of pressure on myself for it to work out if we put so much money into this chance.
The pros, of course, would be the possibility of having a child. (It might be worth noting that these feelings are often mixed and convoluted.)
From Vilulind:
-The only cons I could think of when I started preparing for IVF was that this procedure would be my last resort for getting pregnant. That there would be no hope left in case this last, ultimate measure failed. And yet, here we are, still hoping after 5 failed IVF cycles.
-Now, having gained the "failed IVFs" experience, I can wholeheartedly confirm it's totally devastating to get non-pregnant HCG results.
-Ten days after embryo transfer are crazy but still somehow pleasantly emotional. I feel pregnant, not pregnant, never-gonna-be-pregnant, all at the same time. I secretly talk to my embryos, search for non-existent pregnancy signs, even feel false pregnancy cravings–only to get crushed by the test in the end.
-And the week or so after that is just plain horrible =)) Crying jags, feeling sorry for myself, wanting to have kids SO MUCH, being desperate. Definite cons. But this week comes to an end, and somehow hope emerges again. So yes, emotional letdown is by default in the cons column, but you know, sadness will pass, tears will dry, life will go on.
We are happy that we had tried.
From Jaime:
-We did IVF to get baby #3. I think if you want a baby enough to do IVF, at that point, the "cons" just feel like another hurdle for you to get through. The expense, the daily monitoring appointments (especially difficult with older children at home) and the weeks of twice-daily injections.
-The pro? Your very best chance of conceiving! The elation of knowing you're pulling out all the stops and doing the best science can offer at this time. And it may be possible to have embryos to freeze so that you are able to have more children if you wish.
From Sarah:
-Solely from reading about your experience (ok, and a few other posts) the cons are the costs, the taxing regime on the body/injections, the exhaustion.
-The pros are obviously: A CHILD and one that's likely biologically linked.
From Sonal:
Part of the issue is that many people have preconceived notions about IVF that are hard to shake. No, it's not something that only desperate rich people do. No, it will not make you Octomom. No, it does not (to anyone's knowledge) cause lasting issues for the mother and baby. But the hardest one is no, it does not always work…. people in general have a vastly inflated idea of how well IVF works.
-It's a big commitment of time for appointments which involve transvaginal ultrasounds over a period of (depending on the protocol and how you respond) up to a couple of months per cycle.
-It's a lot of injections, every day, most of which are hormones so side effects are highly variable.
-It's not a sure thing–there is a huge amount of guesswork and trial and error involved, so most people have to go through multiple cycles which can be a big shock if no one told you.
-If it goes well, you will probably be very uncomfortable, for a few days to a few weeks. Egg retrieval is minor surgery.
-There are a large number of decisions that have to be made, often somewhat blindly because there is not much solid information.
-The process itself is very unpredictable and there are a huge number of things that can go wrong which makes it an emotional roller coaster. You spend a lot of time not knowing.
-Most couples go through a lot of other methods before getting into IVF, so at this point, a lot of them are emotionally (and perhaps financially) burned out before having to face IVF, which makes the decision that much harder…. you always wonder, in infertility, if maybe nothing will work and you should stop while you still recognize yourself. The fear of the physical effects is probably the biggest concern before starting. The emotional up and down is probably the hardest part of actually doing it.
-It's by far the most successful treatment available for using your own eggs/sperm.
-IVF can reveal more information about why you aren't conceiving, although there's often not much that can be done about it…. still, infertility is a process with a lot of unknowns, so there is some comfort in just knowing.
-By the time you get there, it may be your last option… when the choice is IVF or no children, IVF doesn't seem so unreasonable.
From Jefra:
At this point, other than a miracle, IVF is the only way I can get pregnant again. We chose no…or rather, no for now. But we will probably revisit the idea again at some point.
-Financial cost was a big factor because our insurance at the time didn't cover IVF.
-Aside from that, I knew I wasn't ready to deal with the emotions. It's already too much to deal with years of infertility and then to have a doctor tell you you won't be able to have anymore children. I wanted to get myself to a place where I wasn't obsessed with having a baby because I knew that getting pregnant wasn't going to magically heal the hurt. I've had to learn to be ok with the fact that my son will probably be an only child.
I know a lot of our readers here have had experiences with IVF. What would you all say would be the pros and cons of IVF for you?

Last week on Wednesday we deployed Version 06.06.09.1588 of the CodePlex software. The version number as you could probably figure out represents the day of the week that we produced the build, in this case 9 June, 2006. After that date we did a full regression test, deployed the software to a staging environment which closely matches the production environment, verified it again and then deployed it to the production servers.
There is still much work going on the project. We are prepping for a mid-July deployment which will include improvements in the RSS Feeds as well as a reasonably large number of bugs. Stay tuned to the CodePlex Information and Discussion page for details on the specific content of the next deployment.
Feedback is critical for us to make proper prioritizations with regard to the issues. I appreciate that it is early and not many of you have been able to create projects like you have wished. We are working on getting the site opened up for all projects who wish to participate on the site.
Lastly, I would also like to introduce the CodePlex Team Blog. I will be doing most of my posting with regard to CodePlex on the new blog along with the rest of the team.

Ranks & Special Subjects
Students of Knight Camp advance their way through six ranks. Named for titles and stages of development in the training of knights and soldiers in Late Medieval and Renaissance Italy, the ranks reflect a student's physical abilities, martial skills, knowledge of materials taught in class, and practice of knightly virtues.
New students begin in the first rank, Paggio. Every time a student completes a week of Knight Camp, they have a rise in rank. Knight Camp students study different academic subjects at different ranks:
- Paggio (Page): Heraldry, History of the Sword
- Armigero (Squire): Archery
- Regazzo all'Armi (Gentleman/Gentlewoman-at-Arms): Armour
- Spadaccino (Swordsman/Swordswoman): Polearms
- Guardia (Guardsman/Guardswoman): Leadership, Tactics
- Capitano (Captain): Instruction, Courtly Grace
Graduates of the program become a Cavaliere su Veglia (Knight on Vigil), and prepare for the five Knightly Trials before they can achieve the rank of Knight. The Knightly Trials are:
- Trial of the Servant (volunteering and community service)
- Trial of the Warrior (leadership and swordplay skill)
- Trial of the Herald (public speaking)
- Trial of the Courtier (medieval games and knowledge)
- Trial of the Teacher (mentorship and teaching)
Cavaliere su Veglia can return to camp as a student to study their choice of academic subject, or, if they're at least 12 years old, as a volunteer to help other students on the path to knighthood.

There`s a lot of talk today about how each of us can best handle stress. Doreen Scott has an unusual solution.
She believes the answer to stress is to increase it and, in the process, turn it into a positive feeling. The positive feeling will come from filling your time with activities that will result in pleasure and value to yourself and to other people, and from the effort you make to solve problems and meet deadlines as they arise.
Receiving admiration and credit is a plus that dilutes stress as nothing else does, she thinks.
``Keep busy,`` she says. ``I enjoy doing as much as possible with my time. Doing all the things I can think of to do is my kind of therapy.``
A former nurse in the Intensive Care Division of Cypress Community Hospital (now Humana Hospital Cypress), Pompano Beach, she left nursing to stay home to care for her son R.J. (Randy Joseph) when he arrived four years ago.
The Scotts live in a large and comfortable two-story home she designed and decorated. She directs her energy to being a devoted wife and mother and an exemplary hostess. She`s a gourmet cook who sets a beautiful table and thinks nothing of providing formal, candlelight dinners for 20 or more guests once or twice a week.
This leaves her with leftover time that she gives to the community.
She is president of the Children`s Home Society. She is secretary to Broward Medical Auxiliary and a member of Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Broward County, Hospice 100 and Broward Boys Clubs. She is also newsletter editor for Kids in Distress, an organization that aids neglected and abused children, and gives time to her son`s school at Second Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale. Last spring she was in charge of the school`s summer benefit fashion show, a project she will repeat in 1986.

Favorite Anchovy Pasta
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This is my go-to pasta, makes me feel happy and healthy and so good immediately or day after. I love anchovies always but pairing them with whole wheat pasta (normally my nemesis) gives the whole meal a meaty-heartiness, they really complement each other. —Laura Coxson
Serves: 3 or 2 hungry
pound whole wheat spaghetti
Italian anchovies (the little nice ones in fancy jars are fine)
bunch Italian leaf parsley (or other parsley fine)
red onion
pieces cloves garlic sliced
pinch hot red pepper flakes
- Put salted water on to boil in large pot.
- Once water has boiled and you've just added box of pasta, heat a skillet with olive oil and sprinkle red pepper flakes (optional but I think essential), add sliced red onions and cook until slightly carmelized.
- Once onions have cooked (about 5 minutes) add garlic and some parsley chopped and all anchovies. The anchovies will break apart which is fine, let everything continue to cook together until pasta is ready, on low-ish heat.
- drain pasta retaining a bit of the water. Place pasta in saucepan with sauce and mix well, add salt and pepper to taste and a spoonful of pasta water if needed. Add big bunch of chopped parsley at very end. Heaven awaits!

ROMEOVILLE — Your political cartoon by Locher (Sept. 13) has a grubby, youthful misfit representing the freeze asking the relatively staid and sensible middle-class fit for ``one good reason why the U.S. shouldn`t trust the Russians and go along with their peace initiatives and disarmament.```` ``Daniloff`` is the offhanded but decisive reply.
In real life the chracters are actually more the reverse: The staid and sensible middle class is a large percentage of those favoring the freeze, while some of the grubby, youthful misfits may still be working through some kind of macho illusion. And ``Daniloff`` may be a very good reason not to

This is not your typical "Let's Play" type of article as I won't be going over every minute detail of the new Fallout 4 expansion Far Harbor. This is more so a veiled review disguised as a "Let's Play" type of article because, well, everything I do is really just a way of not doing something else. Whatever this thing is, it is. So let's get on with it.
I'll start by saying #1 there will be minor spoilers in this article and #2 GO GET THIS
GAME EXPANSION!! I'm maybe halfway through playing at this point and already I can safely say, you will not regret the price tag. Even if you didn't think ahead and get the season pass before they raised the price, this game is worth whatever you paid for it.
There's at least one new follower that I found and many new settlements from what I hear. New monsters and baddies, new weapons, new consumables (like the useless(?) rabbit leg. Am I supposed to eat this raw??) and a map that's way too big to get in one single screenshot. Far Harbor is literally a WHOLE NEW GAME worth of content. Unless you're some kind of asshole who wants it all for nothing, this expansion will NOT disappoint.
I'm giving this a 10/10. Perfect score. I have yet to finish the main Fallout 4 story (life, the universe & everything has kept me occupied otherwise) and Far Harbor is what it took to suck me back in. I can't wait to finish this article and get back to playing.
It all started with a radio transmission from Ellie at Valentine's Detective Agency informing me of a new case. I knew right away I had to leave my suped-up, badass companion, Codsworth, behind for this one.
After a brief swing by the Red Rocket trading outpost for some supplies I was on my way to Diamond City to see what in the actual fuck was going on .
I left Codsworth behind on a hunch that I'd be best off choosing Nick Valentine as my companion for whatever may come and let me say now, I was right. You don't have to bring Nick and, in fact, the game doesn't prompt you to at all from my experience but I can't imagine how this expansion would have gone without him.
I arrived and was given my case specifics from Ellie. The details were sketchy. Summed up, I had to meet a man who may or may not know Nick from the past.
After about 10 hours of travel we reached the Nakano house at the ass-crack of dawn and our investigation began.
We meet with this vague Nakano character and learn he was involved in some ordeal with Nick where only the two of them survived and he knew that Nick was the only one he could rely on to help him find his daughter, Kasumi, who he believes to have been kidnapped.
Her mother has a slightly different take on why their daughter is missing.
Since I promised to keep the spoilers minor, I'll just say it involves this radio…
By investigating her room and the house on a trail of holotapes Kasumi has recorded, we learn a few things about her; she likes to fix things, she has "these dreams" and she's always felt there was something off about her. Basically she's your typical teenager.
With that done we had all we needed. Dressed like right dicks, Nick Valentine and I set sail for Far Harbor. Did I mention… WE GET A BOAT!?!?!
After an undetermined amount of time, during which Nick must have been "napping" below deck, we arrived.
Fresh off the boat we are greeted by Captain Avery and her angry sidekick, so-and-so.
I chose to be honest with her about my intents on the island and she seemed very willing to help me locate Kasumi.
That is, until the fit hit the shan and the alarm bells rang out.
There's a fog that consumes the entire island and nasties lurk within it, some of these nasties were coming for the gates. I had to help the people of Far Harbor in order to get their cooperation in my investigation.
The battle was explosive, as you can see below. Many died defending the gates of Far Harbor.
Sure, less would have died if I hadn't been so focused on taking these pictures.
But in the end, the battle was won and I had gained the trust of the people of Far Harbor as well as the information I came here to seek. First, I would need to meet with a man named Longfellow at the local watering hole…
My thoughts exactly, Longfellow, my thoughts exactly.
After some drinks and provisions, I was off and my adventure really began. And that's also where I have to end this article since I promised only minor spoilers in the title and from here on out, there's no way to keep that promise.
I will say there's so much more game and this is all just the tip of the iceberg. Get yourselves to the store of your choice and get this expansion in your life. If you're a fan of the series this will 100% not disappoint. There is one thing that's not so great about this game, there's a simple and tedious series of puzzles you'll have to play later on in order to progress the main story but I'll get into that and literally EVERYTHING else in my next article, Todd Plays Fallout 4: Far Harbor – Pt. 2: SECRETS OF THE FOG!!! {MAJOR SPOILERS}
Fair Warning: That 10/10 score could change by the time I write part 2 of this but I doubt it will. Hats off to the developers for delivering an excellent addition to one of my all-time favorite franchises.
Until next time, I'm Tad Gurgle and this was my first impression of Fallout 4: Far Harbor. Please and thank you?

Ten reasons why YOU should make a film
As a TCW reader, there's a good chance you have a true love for cinema. If you're anything like me, you love DVD special features because they afford an inside look at the process of making any given film. Perhaps you occasionally watch a movie and think, "I would have done that differently," or wonder, "Who gave these people money to make this steaming pile?"
But before this turns into a Jeff Flixworthy "You might be a filmmaker if…" list, let's consider a few important reasons why now is the time to get up from in front of the TV, and get behind a camera.
10. You've got a story to tell. If you know nothing about screenwriting format, I'd suggest picking up a book by screenwriting guru Syd Field. Once you've learned the basics, download Celtx. It's free, and far better than trying to format a screenplay manually in your typical word-processing program. Celtx's capabilities go far beyond the screenwriting stage, too. You can use it for scheduling, budgeting, shot lists, breakdowns and more. Did I mention it's free?
9. You've always wanted to. You know you have. No one is telling you to quit your day job. Just make the time for it. Life is short. Commit to making your dream come true. You're unique, so you have access to a unique set of locations and other resources. Use them.
8. The internet. Nobody begging to distribute your film to every Redbox, video store and Wal-Mart across the country? No problem. You have a worldwide audience at your fingertips. If you've got something really great, folks will begin to take notice. Sell your DVDs on your website if you want to distribute. The net is also where you'll find the answer to any question you may have about filmmaking. And of course, the limits of social networking to promote your work are nearly boundless. Just don't overdo it, or the folks down at the internet will ask you to never go online again (Corner Gas reference).
7. You have an eye for shots. Years of dissecting your favorite films have ingrained in you a sense of how to tell a story visually. I would encourage learning the basics of shot composition, if you haven't already. No matter how original your film may be, there are still some general rules to be followed if your movie is to be taken seriously.
6. You can tell a story in an interesting way. Formula can be good to an extent. Just don't follow any formula down the road of predictability. Engage your viewers. Challenge them. Surprise them. And if you decide to play around with the timeline in your story, just be sure it makes clear sense once you've put it together in editing. Your viewers are smart, so don't expect them to forgive an overly-ambitious, poorly-executed twist. And give your characters enough depth so that people will care about them. Even the simplest of stories can be told in the most interesting way.
5. Film school is for suckers. As someone who studied film in college, I feel qualified to say this. That's not to say it didn't have value—just not as much value as it cost. Generally speaking, film schools are breeding grounds for folks who go work on someone else's movie sets, not their own. If you have absolutely no clue about cameras, editing or filmmaking basics, take a class at your local community college. Now, remember those special features we talked about a moment ago? Learn from them. Get your film education from the directors you love. Beyond that, the best way to learn is by getting out there and doing it. Your first effort may be a disaster, but you'll learn a lot. Never stop learning.
4. Hollywood sucks. Sure, Hollywood productions have all the money one could ever dream of. They piss it away on explosions, glossy effects, overrated names, and bad ideas. In the indie world, however, we're forced to compensate for a lack of money with an abundance of originality, talent and resourcefulness. Let the unimaginative productions stay in Los Angeles, where they belong. With the economy being what it is, Hollywood isn't taking any chances. That's where we come in.
3. Hungry actors. There is a distinction to be made between starving actors and hungry ones. Starving actors, in my opinion, tend to take themselves too seriously. Too often, they're more in love with the "actor" title than with the craft itself. They believe they're above any project that can't afford to pay them. Instead of taking a no-budget gig, they'd rather sit and wait for the big call from Hollywood, and end up starving while they wonder why no one recognizes the talent they know they have. Hungry actors, however, work regular day jobs, but have such passion for acting that they'll bend over backwards for the opportunity to be in your film. They give it their all, and they don't bring an ego. When I cast my film, Hand of Glory, it was advertised as a non-paying gig, because that's the sort of dedication I was looking for. Of course, I did pay my lead actors and crew a small stipend to show my appreciation for their hard work, but they weren't expecting it.
2. Crowd-funding. Crowd-funding web communities, like Indiegogo and Kickstarter, give filmmakers a platform to pitch their project to the world. With a well-planned campaign, one can raise a lot of money, not only from family and friends, but from complete strangers who like your idea. It doesn't all have to come out of your own pocket.
1. Affordability. Pro-quality images on a shoestring budget are now possible, largely attributable to a DSLR revolution few, if any, camera manufacturers had anticipated. For years, DSLRs had been popular among still photographers, who grudgingly replaced their 35mm, or larger format, cameras to get into the digital age. What no one expected was that folks would start using the "movie" setting on these cameras in any sort of serious way. What those pioneers discovered is that you can capture film-quality moving images on a basic camera rig costing less than $1,000. Sure, you'll probably want to invest in some accessories, but DSLR is the best game in town when you haven't got tens-of-thousands of dollars to work with.

In State of the World 2013, Robert Engelman, president of Worldwatch Institute, echoes Gro Bruntland in saying that societies are unlikely to "enact policies and programs that favor the future (or nonhuman life) at the expense of people living in the present, especially the poorer among us." As environmentalists around the world struggle to provide for future generations while also protecting the present, they face criticisms of elitism. It is problematic, Engelman says, "to argue that prosperity for those in poverty should take a back seat to protection of the development prospects of future generations. Unless, perhaps, we are willing to take vows of poverty."
Engelman offers what seems to be a tongue-in-cheek solution. While vows of poverty may be extreme, vows of sufficiency may be necessary. In November of 2009, Dr. Toby Ord, an Oxford University professor, pledged to give away anything he earned over £20,000. He then founded Giving What We Can (GWWC), an organization based on living sustainably and donating excess. GWWC inspires others to follow Dr. Ord's lead, by taking a pledge stating:
"I recognise that I can use part of my income to do a significant amount of good in the developing world. Since I can live well enough on a smaller income, I pledge that from today until the day I retire, I shall give at least ten percent of what I earn to whichever organizations can most effectively use it to help people in developing countries. I make this pledge freely, openly, and without regret."
Ord's pledge has spurred quite a following, numbering 280 members, and raising over $108 million. GWWC has become particularly popular amongst college campuses, despite the fact that most students have little extra money to give. In order to accommodate the high student interest (over 40 percent of pledges come from students), GWWC invites students to commit only one percent of their income until graduation. While one percent of a student's income is an almost meaningless number, it demonstrates the high interest within the younger generation.

In addition to encouraging pledges, GWWC connects people with charities that will provide the most bang for their buck. The organization provides a list of recommended charities, along with their evaluation methodologies. They provide charities based on the donor's interests, and include categories of health, education, climate change, and economic empowerment, among others. Ward points out that charities should "focus on outputs, and not get hung up on brand," a common complaint amongst those searching for reliable, effective charities. The top recommended charities all focus on disease prevention and treatment, as the organization has deemed health-based charities as the most cost-effective.
While providing health services and health education is imperative, GWWC neglects charities that may offer true systemic change. Their methodology focuses on cost-effectiveness, and studies show that climate change initiatives, for example, are far less cost-effective than health initiatives. Luckily, GWWC does understand that in order to achieve genuine sustainability, systemic change must occur, and they continue to research climate change, political empowerment, education, and other areas which may not be cost-effective, but which are necessary to ensure a sustainable future.
After all, as Engelman points out, it is something of an ethical quandary to focus attention on future generations and a future planet when our present security is not guaranteed. For the younger generation, however, protecting their future is not only practical, but necessary. If we are able to develop sustainable boundaries, humans can thrive alongside the environment. Engelman offers a dire warning of the future: "In order to survive, we may find ourselves dragged kicking and screaming into ways of relating to each other and the world around us." Ord, however, offers a possible alternative in which we are not dragged kicking and screaming, but in which we consciously and conscientiously take the necessary steps to live within the capacity of our single, endangered planet.

Make the brine: Combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, 2 teaspoons salt and the bay leaves in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut the corn crosswise into 1-to-2-inch pieces with a serrated knife. Add to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; transfer to a colander using a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water until cool. Add the bell pepper and celery to the boiling water and cook 2 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
Pack the vegetables and jalapenos into a 1-quart jar, then pour in the brine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 1 week.

If you require a brand-new waterbed cushion, there are a selection of points you need to recognize. For beginners, trust Amerisleep to bring knowledge about various degrees of suppleness. Considering that also the firmest waterbed is much less solid compared to a typical bed, many specialists advise purchasing the firmest waterbed cushion that you could manage.
Let's have a look at the various sorts of waterbed cushions:.
Free Circulation: as its name recommends, a complimentary circulation mattress enables the water to move openly. This makes the bed really feel as though it is always delicately shaking. Resting on a cost-free circulation waterbed mattress is similar to resting on a watercraft. This type of mattress is not suggested for somebody that needs sustain. Some individuals have difficulty resting on a bed that relocates openly with every throw and every turn. Furthermore, the complimentary circulation cushion does not have any type of system to stabilize it. This implies that if one companion is bigger or much heavier compared to the other, the mattress will be uneven.
Hydraulic: a hydraulic waterbed cushion is loaded with small round plastic coils. These coils loaded with water and drift underneath the top of the cushion. This helps to manage the motion of the water. The even more coils a mattress has, the stronger it will be. Additionally, the coils aid to cancel the bed. This implies that also if one companion is larger compared to the other, they will remain on the same degree.
Fiber Fill up: in fiber filled up waterbed cushions, the maker fills up the cushion with fiber. This helps to minimize the activity of the water and to boost the suppleness of the cushion. The even more fiber the mattress has, the stronger it will be.
Waterbed cushions at mattress stores in Tucson are readily available at several on-line shops, including My Waterbed Store, All Waterbeds, Bed room Discounters, and Simmons.
Other types of cushions:
o Pocketed Coil Innerspring – helps in reducing movement of the cushion. If you awaken whenever your companion relocations, this type of cushion will assist.
o Latex – It's impact immune, complies with the shape of your body while providing assistance, hypoallergenic and microorganisms and mold immune. It additionally has terrific breath-ability, it will keep you cool down in the summertime and cozy in the wintertime. Obviously, those with latex allergic reactions ought to pick another thing.
o Multi-Zoned Latex – Latex cushion cores are always made with openings in them. These openings soften the latex and make it comfy. The bigger the openings, the softer the latex core ends up being. A lot of cushions have the same size openings throughout the mattress offering it a consistent feeling. The multi-zoned mattress has areas with various size openings. This offers the mattress various areas making it softer or stronger in various locations.
For extra waterbed cushion sources, do a Web look for "waterbed mattress." Inspect your neighborhood bed linens, mattress, and furnishings shops.
