Questions? Call: (866) 841-1421
Please understand that comfort is a personal preference. We encourage you to visit a store to try our mattresses in person if possible. Learn about our Comfort and Size Change Policies.
Our Regency Sapphire Hybrid mattress offers the active support of a premium innerspring with the comfort of a memory foam topper in a one-sided design. A blended cotton pad and a two-inch memory foam topper give this hand-built mattress our softest feel. Handles allow you to rotate and move this mattress with ease.
Comfort refers to the feel of the mattress. Our Regency Sapphire Hybrid is our softest mattress at 3 on the comfort scale, while our Orthopedic Ultra Firm is the hardest at 10. Learn more about comfort.
Durability is determined by the quality of the mattress, degree of use, weight of sleepers, and proper care. That's why we manufacture two sided mattresses, enabling our mattresses to stay comfortable for longer. Using the matching box spring can help to increase the durability of your mattress. Learn more about durability.
A good mattress will gently support you, while keeping your spine in the same posture as if you were standing. Good support is an important factor to sleeping well. Learn more about support.
Comfort ratings are on a numeric scale of 0 to 10 with descriptions of "Soft" to "Hard". In order to "score" each of our mattresses on this scale, we performed a series of firmness tests with a Cornell Tester to measure the firmness of each mattress. These ratings were then converted to a 10 point scale by taking the ratio of each firmness rating to that of the highest reading. Using this method, we defined our hardest product, The Orthopedic Ultra Firm, as a 10. All other scores were calculated on a relative basis.
Durability ratings are on a numeric scale of 0 to 10 for comparison purposes and listed as "Short" to "Long". Because the useful life of a mattress can vary significantly for individuals based on a number of different factors, we started by using an average lifetime of 8 – 12 years for a top of the line mattress as our baseline. We then estimated performance values for durability based on product performance and expectations. For example, more wire in an innerspring translates to a higher score. The use of a real working box springs would also translate into a higher score.
Support ratings are on a numeric scale of 0 to 10 for comparison purposes and listed as "Low" to "High". The support scale is based on our line of innersprings and whether or not a mattress is used alone or with a box spring. We started with our top of the line mattress sets scoring a 10 based on product performance and expectations. The score drops through our line as the amount of wire decreases. Less wire equates to less support and the scores are set to reflect this.
Real working modular box spring with an additional wood slat that provides extra support acts as a shock absorber to help extend the life of the mattress.
Quality sheets made from 100% fine-combed cotton in ivory.

Community Description
As an Assisted Living Community, Plaza Village Senior Living allows for residents to live independently in an apartment-like residence while still having access to assistance with daily living through the preparation of meals, medication administration, light housekeeping duties, and laundry. This is an ideal living situation for seniors who are in the middle ground of not being requiring the more intensive care of a nursing home or CCRC, but still requiring some level of assistance on a daily basis. This type of community is normally less expensive than other types of more intensive care (e.g., memory care). Best of all, Assisted Living communities like Plaza Village Senior Living can give you the peace of mind in knowing that your loved one is being cared for while maintaining a level of independence.
As a Senior Living Community, Plaza Village Senior Living is designed for seniors who live independently and are capable of taking care of their basic needs. These communities often include apartments that range in sizes from large two bedroom to smaller dwellings for individuals. In these types of communities, seniors live independently, but may receive some helpful services such as housekeeping, laundry, and transportation. On-site banks, barber and beauty shops, convenience stores, and other amenities are also often provided.

Q: We just bought a house with a half-acre pond. Where do we start?"
Hans – Brandon, MS
A: Some home buyers look for granite countertops or in-house movie theaters – but a half-acre pond is an amenity that makes us giddy! Because you likely don't know the history of the pond, how it was built or how it was maintained, it's best to give that new pond a complete rehab from the bottom up so you can use it to its full potential.
Here's a five-step process that will make the job easy:
- Assess the Pond's Condition. Before you begin rehabbing your pond, take some time to examine it, including measuring its size and depth, identifying weeds and beneficial aquatic plants, checking for fish, and inspecting pre-existing structures like a dock or an aeration system. These details will help maintain your pond or get it back into shape.
- Give It an Oxygen Boost. Your real work begins with installing a bottom-diffused aeration system, like one of the Airmax® Aeration Systems. The units, which include a diffuser, compressor and airline, circulate oxygen throughout the water column so that it's readily utilized by critters living in your pond, including fish, frogs and beneficial bacteria. It also helps remove harmful gases from the water. If your pond already has an aeration system, thoroughly inspect all its parts and tune them up as necessary.
- Control Weed Growth. Treat prolific growth of aquatic weeds and algae. Invasive plants like cattails, chara, phragmites, bulrush, watermilfoil and even out-of-control water lilies can become real problems in a closed ecosystem. Depending on your situation, you may need to use an herbicide and/or algaecide to get them under control before they take over and negatively impact your water quality. For help, check out our Weed Control Guide, which can help you ID and choose the right remedy for the weed.
- Remove Unwanted Vegetation. Before and after you treat the weeds and algae, mechanically remove growing and dead vegetation with a Weed Razer™ and Weed Raker™. If you don't pull that growth out of the water, it will break down into detritus and pond muck, which will actually fertilize the weeds and algae you're trying to eliminate!
- Do Your Maintenance Chores. Now that your pond is on its way to being clean, clear and usable, keep it that way by maintaining it with beneficial bacteria and pond dye. Beneficial bacteria, like those found in ClearPAC® PLUS Pond Care Package, will break down any residual pond muck buildup and keep the water clear. Pond dye will tint the water blue or black, preventing ultraviolet rays from reaching problem plants like algae while adding beauty to your waterscape.
With a little work, you can transform your new pond into a dramatic part of your landscape – particularly if you decide to add a decorative fountain or other feature to it. Have fun with your new aquatic playground!

A Reason to Smile
When I saw my brother Willie fling his bicycle down onto the lawn, I knew that we were in big trouble. My husband and I had arrived in South Carolina for a family vacation [3] the night before, and already my fear was realized: Willie was having a meltdown. When I looked at my parents, I could see the tension on their faces; it was the same strain I felt on my own. When Willie had started getting agitated, my parents sent him on a bike ride with Dad accompanying him. On the ride, Willie bit himself in the upper arm, hard enough to leave a massive bruise. Hurling his bike to the ground outside our unit was the grand finale. Willie hadn't harmed anyone but himself, and he was beginning to de-escalate by the time he re-entered our unit.
I'd been writing in my journal before Willie and Dad had returned from their ride. Though I tried to turn my mind to other topics, my hand seemed to move across the page of its own volition. I wrote, "It's scary that, in the time it takes for me to write a single sentence, the situation with Willie could change completely." As I wrote, my parents puzzled over the trigger point from this latest "crash"; I thought about it too. And, not for the first time, I wished we could have had a professional, competent, and caring third party—say, an expert behavioral therapist—on hand to help us assess what had happened with Willie. But there was no such therapist present; there was just us. We are Willie's family and we love him, but sometimes we aren't sure how best to help him. And at times, the weight of our collective uncertainty seems unbearable.
After Willie's meltdown, uneasiness lingered in the air. Then, as though on cue, I received an unexpected message from a friend, one who'd been generous enough to take care of our kitten [4] while we were in South Carolina. The kindly-worded text revealed that our cat had fleas—a problem that hadn't been evident before our departure—and that she'd need treatment immediately. (All I could do was apologize profusely, and give consent for the kitten to receive a bath.) Having received that message, I walked out the back door to the deck to take some deep breaths. Instead, I started crying. I felt so powerless, so unable to mitigate either of the troubling situations before me. As I sat overlooking a small lagoon, it was tempting to "end" the story there. It was tempting to pass judgment on the entire vacation based on that first rocky morning. However, as I dried the tears from my cheeks, I made the radical decision not to judge Willie for melting down, nor myself for ignorance of our cat's fleas. With considerable effort, I decided to keep my heart open.
Slowly, the tide began to turn. After that first difficult morning, we started building good memories together. When Willie calmed down, I sat with him and worked on a Disney puzzle; it helped us both to do something as simple as putting the pieces together. Later, he read to me from his French illustrated dictionary, and I marveled at his authentic-sounding accent. We went on a bike ride together, and played in the surf as well. And on the last morning of our trip, just as my husband and I were about to say goodbye and start our journey [5] back to Alabama, I bounced over to my brother and asked if we could take an arms-length photo.
When Willie poses for pictures, my parents and I struggle to get authentic smiles from him. It's rare that we're able to get a good shot, but somehow, that morning, I knew just what to do. With one arm wrapped around Willie and one arm holding the camera, I said, "Smile!" just as I reached over and tickled him on his side. The result? My favorite picture of my younger brother … one that reminds me that there is beauty on the other side of suffering. And that, today, is my reason to smile.

Wolf spider
|Wolf spiders
|Hogna lenta
|Scientific classification
Sundevall, 1833
|> 100 genera, c. 2,300 species
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae, from the Ancient Greek word "λύκος" meaning "wolf". They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly solitary and hunt alone. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some will wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow.
Wolf spiders resemble nursery web spiders (family Pisauridae), but wolf spiders carry their egg sacs by attaching them to their spinnerets (Pisauridae carry their egg sacs with their chelicerae and pedipalps). Two of the wolf spider's eight eyes are large and prominent, which distinguishes them from the Nursery web spiders whose eyes are all of approximately equal size. This can also help distinguish them from grass spiders.
There are many genera of wolf spider, ranging in body size (legs not included) from less than 0.4 to 1.38 inches (10 to 35 mm).[1][2] They have eight eyes arranged in three rows. The bottom row consists of four small eyes, the middle row has two very large eyes (which distinguishes them from the Pisauridae), and the top row has two medium-sized eyes. They depend on their excellent eyesight to hunt. They also possess an acute sense of touch.
Flashing a beam of light over the spider will produce eyeshine. The light from the flashlight has been reflected from the spider's eyes directly back toward its source, producing a "glow" that is easily noticed. This is also especially helpful because the wolf spiders are nocturnal and will be out hunting for food, making it easier to find them. Wolf spiders possess the third best eyesight of all spider species, bested only by jumping spiders of the family Salticidae (who can distinguish colors) as well as the huntsman spiders.
Wolf spiders are unique in the way that they carry their eggs. The egg sac, a round silken globe, is attached to the spinnerets at the end of the abdomen, allowing the spider to carry her unborn young with her. The abdomen must be held in a raised position to keep the egg case from dragging on the ground. However, despite this handicap, they are still capable of hunting. Another aspect unique to wolf spiders is their method of infant care. Immediately after the spiderlings emerge from their protective silken case, they clamber up their mother's legs and crowd onto her abdomen.
Because they depend on camouflage for protection, they do not have the flashy appearance of some other kinds of spiders. In general their coloration is appropriate to their favorite habitat.
Hogna is the genus with the largest of the wolf spiders. Among the Hogna species in the U.S., the nearly solid dark brown H. carolinensis (Carolina wolf spider) is the largest, with a body that can be more than one inch long. It is sometimes confused with H. helluo, which is somewhat smaller and different in coloration. The underside of H. carolinensis is solid black, but the underside of H. helluo is variegated and has reds, oranges, and yellows with shades of black.
Some members of the Lycosidae, such as H. carolinensis, make deep tubular burrows in which they lurk much of the time. Others, such as H. helluo, seek shelter under rocks and other shelters as nature may provide. They may wander from place to place, and are therefore more likely to be the ones attracted into human habitation when the weather starts to turn colder in autumn.
There are many smaller genera of wolf spiders such as those found in the United Kingdom. They live in pastures and fields and feed on smaller prey, playing an important role in natural population control that keeps insect numbers in the wolf spiders' vicinity within acceptable levels.
Wolf spiders will inject venom if continually provoked. Symptoms of their venomous bite include swelling, mild pain, and itching. In the past, necrotic bites have been attributed to some South American species, but further investigation has indicated that those problems that did occur were probably actually due to bites by members of other genera.[3] Australian wolf spiders have also been associated with necrotic wounds, but careful study has likewise shown them not to produce such results.[4]
Wolf spiders can be found in a wide range of habitats both coastal and inland. These include shrublands, woodland, wet coastal forest, alpine meadows, suburban gardens, and homes. Spiderlings disperse aerially and consequently wolf spiders have wide distributions. Although some species have very specific microhabitat needs (such as stream-side gravel beds or montane herb-fields) most are wanderers without permanent homes. Some build burrows which can be left open or have a trapdoor (depending on species). Arid zone species construct turrets or plug their holes with leaves and pebbles during the rainy season to protect themselves from flood waters.
The Carolina wolf spider (H. carolinensis) is the official state spider of South Carolina, designated as such in 2000. South Carolina is the only U.S. state that recognizes a state spider.[5]

Tigers promote righty Miller to bolster bullpen
Rookie outfielder Collins optioned to Triple-A Toledo after slow start
DETROIT -- Two years to the day after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his elbow, Justin Miller made his Major League debut against the Angels, tossing two innings of one-hit ball.
"It's kind of a weird coincidence," Miller said. "Just getting called up, being able to call my family and have everybody in my family ecstatic, it's just a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. It's unreal."
Miller added that the biggest difference he observed from transitioning from the Minor Leagues to Detroit on Friday was how bright the lights shone.
"I thought I could see every little blade of grass out there," he said.
Earlier Friday, the Tigers announced the transaction, their first of the season, which was a depth move for a taxed and tired bullpen. Detroit optioned rookie outfielder Tyler Collins to Toledo. For Friday, at least, Detroit went with eight relievers and three bench players.
Miller, who pitched a perfect sixth before trotting back out for another inning of the Tigers' 11-6 loss, gave the bullpen a fresh arm after five relievers threw Thursday afternoon and four Wednesday night, all ahead of Drew Smyly's first start of the season Friday night. Smyly lasted only three innings, guaranteeing another long night for the bullpen and giving Miller a chance to debut on his first day with the big league club.
"I just wanted to calm my nerves, go out there and throw strikes," Miller said.
While neither manager Brad Ausmus nor pitching coach Jeff Jones had a pitch count set for Smyly, both made it clear they would have to be cautious with him, because he hasn't been stretched out as a starter since the end of Spring Training -- nearly three weeks ago. He threw 51 pitches on April 4 and 49 pitches on April 9. Friday night, he labored, throwing 82.
Miller signed with Detroit last fall following his release from the Rangers organization.
The hard-throwing 25-year-old had a rough Spring Training, making him an early cut from camp, but he recovered nicely in Toledo. Miller threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings for the Mud Hens, allowing three hits with a walk and six strikeouts.
Collins made the Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder, making the jump from Double-A Erie. He was supposed to give Detroit a left-handed bat off the bench and a potential platoon partner with Rajai Davis in left field, but he made just three starts over the first 12 games of the season. The 23-year-old went 2-for-14 with a walk and three strikeouts.
"Rajai got hot," Ausmus said. "He's hit the ball as well as anybody on the team, maybe the best. And the schedule didn't help."
By rule, Collins must stay in the Minors for at least 10 days before he's eligible to be recalled, unless the Tigers have to place a player on the disabled list. So if Detroit wants to add a bench player once its bullpen eventually gets some rest, it'll have to recall somebody else. Ezequiel Carrera could be a candidate, as could waiver pickup J.D. Martinez. Either would have to be added to the 40-man roster, but the Tigers have an open spot for that.

The WeeRide Deluxe is the original and best front mounted child seat. This is because it isn't actually front mounted, but is centre mounted. Front mounted seats put all the child's weight on the handlebars which means steering is more difficult, your child gets thrown around, and most importantly, are unsafe in our opinion if you need to stop quickly.
Our centre mounted seat puts all the weight centrally and your child is safely wrapped in your arms. The first time you ride the seat you realise why the reviews are so good as it is such fun being able to chat to your child and point things out. The Deluxe seat has all the features of the Classic seat, but adds the plusher cushioning on the seat and headrest. These seats tend to sell more to children under 18 months who may need the extra padding. The Classic seat is Business Class, the Deluxe is First.
- A unique CENTRE MOUNTED bike seat for children
- Number 1 selling seat in the UK and US
- Recommended for ages from 1-4 years. Though can be used as soon as neck muscles are strong enough ie 6-9 months.
- Allows the rider to communicate with their child.
- Child's needs can be dealt with.
- Interesting view for the child, not just your back!
- Patented bar puts weight in centre of bike and not on front like other front seats
- No attachment to the handlebars which we believe is dangerous
- You feel the child is more secure with your arms around them.
- The seat can be fitted easily within 20 minutes
- The seat can be removed in seconds for solo riding
- Headrest for baby to sleep, which they do at an early age
- No dangling legs as moveable footrests
- Fits all bikes including oversized head tubes and full suspension of 16"+ (except drop handle bars). Comes with its own bar so fits to Ladies and Mens bikes.
- 5 point safety strap and enclosed movable footrests for child safety
- Extra bars available for multi bike use
- Everything you need is in the box including the seat, bar and tools
- Deluxe seats adds extra thick seat and headrest padding
The WeeRide seats are the safest and most fun seats you can buy, just go online and read the reviews. Rear seats destabilise your bike, your child looks at your back and you can't interact with them. Front seats put the weight on the front of the bike and are uncomfortable for your child. The WeeRide is a unique Centre Mounted seat
- My latest child used from 6 months. Most kids can use from 9 months. The EU standard says from aged 1, but the standard has to be inclusive all the inferior seats out there. You will stop using the seat at 4 which is when most kids want to get out on their own bikes.
- Very simple. There is a small change to your riding style as the seat is in front of you. Mounting the bike
Mounting the bike is simple. You can swing your leg over the rear of the bike as you would do normally. You can then lean over to pick your child up and secure them into the seat. If they are too small to stand up on their own, securely lean your bike against a wall, and put your child in the seat before mounting. Or better still, have someone else hold your bike.
- There is a video online that shows me fitting to a bike in about 5 minutes. I wasn't rushing, but hav done many times. I would say fitting time is 5 to 15 mins.
It is very simple, especially if you look at our online videos:
It will fit to all bikes as long as they have between 49 and 60cm from seat post to headset.
It will fit mens, ladies, full suspension, oversized headset etc.
It will fit most drop handle bar bikes, but the riding position means we dont recommend fitting to these bikes
We can deliver in 24hrs if you order before 1pm, option is on the order sheet, and otherwise your order will be delivered within 48hrs. This does not include weekends. Just press BUY IT NOW.
You will receive your tracking information later the same day.
Help is at hand – most questions are answered in our FAQs.
But if you would like to contact me directly I will come straight back to you:
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
If you would like to talk to me, please call 0845 6250565. This method is not as quick as email.

Is the new Ford Focus the most important car of 2011? If you're one of those people who contributed to the statistic that - on average - means someone in the UK buys a Focus every 7 seconds, you might think so.
First the good news. The new Focus is bigger, faster, safer, more economical, better equipped and loaded with tech compared with the old one.
Like the Volvos we've recently tested, the Focus can be specified with a Driver Assistance Pack. In the case of the Ford, it reads road signs to tell you what the speed limit is, has radar guided cruise control which will stop you getting too close to the car in front, and can stop you running into it altogether if you fail to react in time - by applying the brakes for you at speeds below 19mph. Not only that, but it'll tell you to stop for a caffeine hit if it thinks you're about to nod off into the path of an oncoming 48-tonner. Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Aid will help you stay in lane on the motorway, steering you back on course if necessary. At just £750 as an option, the pack's amazing value and shows how sophisticated the typical family car has become.
And if your worse nightmare is parallel parking on a busy city street, there's also Active Park Assist. Simply hit a button on the dash and the car will tell you if spaces at the side of the road are big enough for you to get into. It then takes over the steering to manoeuvre you in to the space, all for an optional £525.
Coming later in the year are Ford Sync and MyFord touch - systems from American market Fords that allow the seamless integration of phones, music players and other USB-based devices, giving driver and passenger control through the steering wheel or a touch screen. For now, the Focus has DAB, Bluetooth and a USB socket in the glove compartment, as standard, across the range.
All of which is great, except that the traditional "car" bit seems to have taken a back seat to the technology. Previous Focuses have been terrific fun to drive, and though the new one's more refined, the driving experience no longer stands out against to the competition.
The design's a bit questionable too. From certain angles the car looks like it's wearing a fat suit (perhaps this is a bad point to mention, it's been designed to sell in America as well as Europe…). There are cheap details too - those front "air intakes" are actually fake plastic panels and the way the bonnet and grille are designed makes it look like the bonnet's not shut properly. Curiously, while the new Focus is bigger outside, there appears to be a reverse-tardis effect going on inside. The dashboard sweeps around you like a cockpit, which makes it feel snug and sporty, but for anyone over six foot space is quite tight and the boot's actually smaller than the old car.
The Focus is priced from £15,995, the 1.6TDCi Titanium pictured here is £19,745, and prices run all the way up to around £25,000 for the top of the range diesel estate. Which is quite a lot of money for what's still considered by most people to be a typical kind of car. But the price is indicative of how much the Focus has grown up, and its new level of sophistication. We just wish that, during the growing process, Ford hadn't thrown away quite so much of the fun factor that characterised the old car.

It's set in the world of Pop Warner (pre-high school) football and the first girl to play in the Pop Warner version of the Super Bowl. Of course it's fictionalized. Of course, it hits the usual sports formula -- adversities to overcome, tragedy to forget, accepting "the new kid," and life lessons learned.
But this kid-friendly dramedy from the musician-turned-filmmaker Fred Durst (of Limp Bizkit) hits its marks and tugs its strings. It works. Especially if you've never seen a formula sports dramedy before, something most of its audience will be able to say.
Longshots is about Jasmine Plummer, an outsider in her school in the rust belt down of Minden, Illinois. Her dad left five years before. She keeps her head in her books and tries to avoid being picked on by the mean girls. And mean boys.
Mom (Tasha Smith) works long shifts at the diner. And since the shy Jasmine (Keke Palmer) won't sign up for after-school programs, she needs a baby sitter. Her brother-in-law, Curtis, Jasmine's uncle ( Ice Cube), has nothing to do, so she talks him into it.
Curtis hasn't worked steadily in years. He doesn't bathe. He loves his Budweiser and sips it in the stands of Minden Field, where the downtrodden Minden Browns play. Back in the day, Curtis was a star. He puts down his beer, gets over his opinion that the kid is "weird and moody" and teaches her football. She's a natural. She'd rather be a model like Tyra Banks, but she can learn.
"Do you know what a down and out is?"
Palmer, of Akeelah and the Bee, is a pretty, earnest young actress who lets us see the wheels turning. But she clicks with Ice Cube, who finally leaves his junky Are We There Yet? franchise behind and shows us an effortless charm we haven't seen before.
The film is edited so as not to show us if Palmer can actually run plays or throw passes. But the football is, at least, Pop Warner appropriate. Those aren't the real Patriots and Browns on the field.
What's more, Longshots is packed with positive messages, about family and community pride, about sportsmanship (no showboating in the end zone, kids), about finding your niche. It's messy, with loose ends left dangling as we march toward that next sports formula benchmark. But Durst and Cube and Co. have done a decent job with a movie that never set out to be more than an average crowd pleaser.

The Mean Girl Dilemma
"As the issue of girl bullying has risen to new prominence, it has attracted a more troubling kind of attention. Reality television show producers discovered that mean girls sell, and they churned out scores of programs featuring breathtakingly aggressive females." Rachel Simmons
Stephanie is a "mean girl." She says she's "just kidding" as she rolls her eyes when adults, including her parents, call her on her behavior. It started in third grade when she tried to get girls to join her club. In the club, Stephanie wanted to talk about other girls. This is human nature, right? One by one the girls in the club realized they had better things to do because they didn't like the language Stephanie used and definitely didn't like what she was saying about other girls.
In fourth grade Stephanie began experimenting with Facebook. She wrote abusive language on another girl's Facebook page which wasn't a good idea because her face and name appeared next to the words. Parents began doing screen shots to document the behavior. Even worse, Stephanie began "Friending" people she didn't know. She wanted more "friends" and talked back and forth with kids that she only knew through social networking.
How does she know they are kids?
In fifth grade, Stephanie stepped it up a bit. She posed in a provocative photo. With her hands up against the wall, showing her back with her face turned around covered in professionally done make-up, Stephanie used the new photo as her Facebook profile picture. In addition to Facebook, Stephanie began creating fake accounts for other students grabbing pictures from Flicker.
School always disciplined her when it became a school issue. Her parents were responsive and they took away her phone, iPad and iPod each time. She apologized to classmates and said she didn't know why it was "a big deal." Her parents grounded her and close friends for that year stopped hanging out with her. Mostly, because their parents noticed changes in their own children and didn't want their daughters under Stephanie's influence.
Stephanie always found a new friend to hang out with each year but her behavior was always the same. There was always a new girl who wanted to be "cool" with Stephanie. They were confronted with how "uncool" things were after being disciplined for being mean to other peers. More parents followed suit with parents who came before them and forbid their children to hang out with Stephanie.
The school did everything from detention to counseling. They even brought in the state police internet crimes unit to talk with students about internet safety, which is something the teachers always focused on as well. But there was always one problem. Stephanie didn't get it, and unfortunately, she's not alone. Many girls participate in relational aggression.
Relational Aggression Among Girls
Relational aggression (RA) is a term to describe behaviors that are used to harm someone by damaging or manipulating their peer relationships. The Colorado Foundation for Families and Children describe it as "The use of relationships to harm another person; for example starting rumors, spreading gossip,teasing, creating or joining cliques, and deliberately excluding another person."
Relational aggression among girls has always been around but it has seen an increase in visibility due to high profile bullying cases. Young girls can turn to positive role models by looking to their parents (if they set a good example), teachers, peers and a few celebrities. Unfortunately, the media is filled with bad role models, and even worse, these negative role models send mixed messages to our children.
• They make lots of money.
• These role models are on television, celebrity magazines and in the newspapers in the grocery store checkout line.
In a Today Show interview, Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out says,"As the issue of girl bullying has risen to new prominence, it has attracted a more troubling kind of attention. Reality television show producers discovered that mean girls sell, and they churned out scores of programs featuring breathtakingly aggressive females.
These programs rewarded their stars with book deals, product lines, and other spoils of celebrity--and gained a rapt teen following. The scramble to commodify the mean girl trickled down to even the youngest consumers: children's television programming began to highlight an array of snarky, sarcastic girl characters. As a result, girls now observe ten times the amount of relational aggression on television that they see in real life. In an analysis of television programs, researchers found that the meanest female characters on television were frequently rewarded for their behavior."
Besides the media explosion of mean girl behavior, the internet has helped promote the behavior as well. Young kids are tech savvy and they know how to take photos and create accounts for unsuspecting classmates. In the old days a mean girl might write a note to another girl as a trick and sign a boys name as a "joke" but these days kids have access to pictures and the note can spread like wildfire.
Simmons says, "Technology has also altered girls' everyday relationships, indeed girls' very sense of self. It is not uncommon for a girl to say, "I don't exist if I'm not on Facebook." Many girls sleep with their cell phones on their chests, waiting for them to vibrate with news in the night. They treat their cell phones like extensions of their bodies and are inconsolable if they lose access. In 2010, the average teen texted three thousand times per month."
Why Does This Happen?
Some girls think this is 21st century joking around and they get mixed messages from the media and the adults around them. Adults say "Don't act like a mean girl" and then watch some real housewife on reality television. Kids can't always process the act of "Do as I say, not as I do." Other girls are growing up with mean girl role models right in their own home. They act like the adults or older siblings around them act.
Some mean girls have low self-esteem and this is how they can make themselves feel better. The behavior of pulling in peers and getting girls to be mean to others provides them with a level of control. It also provides them with the opportunity to keep the focus off the reasons why they have low self-esteem in the first place.
Sadly, it's a process to get some girls to understand they don't have to be mean to one another. This absolutely happens with boys as well (another blog for that one!). There are girls who want to knock down other girls. They don't recognize (or ignore to recognize) how negatively this will affect them in life and only see short term benefits.
We need to teach girls to advocate for themselves and that does not include being mean or using bullying behavior toward other peers. There are so many positive, self-fulfilling, and service oriented activities that girls could be doing and mean girl behavior isn't one of them.
Girls need to learn:
• Coping skills to deal with issues properly so they don't participate in negative behaviors. This will also help them work cooperatively with others in school, college and the workplace.
• Self-esteem building has to be a goal for parents and schools. Yes, some of these girls who participate in mean girl behavior have great self-esteem but their victims need the self-esteem building so they can move past on.
• Monitor social networking. I know this is obvious but it isn't to everyone. Social networking offers us great opportunities but it's fast and furious and parents need to keep up with it. Set boundaries. See the 18 Point Rule.
• Understand it's a problem. If your daughter is participating in this type of behavior she is in the wrong. Mean girl behavior is not something to ignore and at some point the school will come calling and you shouldn't be surprised.
• Code Word - If adolescents are going to use social networking, perhaps they should make sure they have a code word with a friend to make sure it's really them...just as long as they can trust the friend.

U.S. Aircraft Carrier Killer: China deploys anti-ship ballistic missile along southern coast, facing Taiwan
April 20, 2013
CHINA – The Chinese military has deployed its new anti-ship ballistic missile along its southern coast facing Taiwan, the Pentagon's top military intelligence officer said today. The missile, designated the DF-21D, is one of a "growing number of conventionally armed" new weapons China is deploying to the region, adding to more than 1,200 short-range missiles opposite the island democracy, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the Defense Intelligence Agency director, said in a statement to the Senate Armed Services Committee. Flynn's reference to the DF-21D follows one made by U.S. Navy Admiral Samuel Locklear, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, in congressional testimony on April 9. He highlighted the "initial deployment of a new anti-ship missile that we believe is designed to target U.S. aircraft carriers." Flynn's brief reference to the DF-21D today is significant because it advances the DIA's assessment last year, when U.S. Army Lieutenant General Ronald Burgess, then the agency's director, said China's military is "probably preparing to deploy" the weapon. The disclosure may spark increased scrutiny in Congress this year about the vulnerability of the Navy's aircraft carriers, including the new Gerald R. Ford class being built by Newport News, Virginia-based Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. The Navy estimates that the first new carrier will cost at least $12.3 billion, and the service's budget request for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 includes $1.68 billion for new aircraft carriers, more than double this year's $781.7 million request. Of that, $945 million would pay for continued design and construction of the second Ford-class carrier, the USS John F. Kennedy. Michael Gilmore, the Pentagon's director of operational testing, warned in his January 2012 annual report that the Navy lacked a target needed to check its defenses against the DF-21D. The Navy had an "immediate need" for a test missile able to replicate the DF-21D's trajectory, Gilmore said. Last July, Gilmore told Navy Secretary Ray Mabus in a memo that testing to evaluate the new carriers' "ability to withstand shock and survive in combat" would be postponed until after the Kennedy is built, and may not be completed for seven years. The DF-21D is intended to give China "the capability to attack large ships, particularly aircraft carriers, in the western Pacific," the Pentagon's 2012 China report said. The report cites estimates that the missile's range exceeds 930 miles (1,500 kilometers). The missiles are designed be launched to a general location, where their guidance systems take over and spot carriers to attack with warheads intended to destroy the ships' flight decks, launch catapults and control towers. U.S. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert told defense reporters in March 2012 that the Navy is evaluating how to defeat the missile during all phases of flight, using methods such as jamming the missiles' sensors, reducing the electronic emissions from U.S. ships, and intercepting the missile. "Some call that links of a chain," Greenert said. "You want to break as many links as possible." In its fiscal 2014 Budget Highlights book, the Navy said it's working a "kill chain" against an unspecified weapon. The Navy, the book says, wants to integrate the capabilities of the Falls Church, Virginia-based Northrop Grumman Corp.'s (NOC) E-2D Advanced Hawkeye surveillance aircraft; Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed Martin Corp.'s (LMT) Aegis surveillance and missile defense system; and Waltham, Massachusetts-based Raytheon Co.'s (RTN) Cooperative Engagement Capability sensor network linking ships and Standard Missile-6 interceptors "to keep pace with the evolving threat." -Bloomberg
Book Quote: "The (Chineses) Dong Feng 21 missile is effectively meant to keep the U.S. naval fleet out of the East China Sea and prevent the U.S. Navy from intevening in a Chinese strike against the Taiwanese island. The U.S. is developing its own hypersonic cruise missile, the X-51, but at present; there are no known effective countermeasures that could knock the hypersonic Chinese Dong Feng 21 out of the sky. In the future, American ships may be equipped with the only known effective defense against such hypersonic missile threats- laser canons." -The Extinction Protocol, pp. 50-51, 2009

Reporters Roundtable
Climate change and the energy bill, EPA appropriations -- and the nuclear option
The Senate is putting together its comprehensive energy bill. Will it include climate change measures? What about nuclear power and clean coal? Can EPA get more money in its final appropriation? Greenwire and E&E Daily reporters and editors discuss these issues, what the "nuclear option" may mean for pending legislation, and more.

Okay — this is officially insane. FOX4 went back to do a follow-up story about Joel Branstrom's blind-folded half-court shot. Reporter Rob Low, just shooting a teaser for the spot, tried one of his own (backwards)...and also made it.
We spoke to Low on the phone and he was, obviously, a little dumbfounded by his luck. Low told me the only people in the gym at the time besides him were the camera person and a member of the girl's basketball team. After he chucked it behind his head — his first attempt, no less — he couldn't figure out why she and the cameraman were acting strange. The player told him "I tried not to scream when you made the shot."
Also, while Low interviewed Branstrom for the follow-up piece, he had the former KU player shoot the half-court shot again without a blindfold to show how difficult it was.
"Of course, he made the shot, " Low said.
That gym needs an exorcism.

Bridgeport's blizzard bill about $1.7 million
BRIDGEPORT -- This month's blizzard buried the city under 30 inches of snow - and nearly $1.7 million in bills.
Mayor Bill Finch's office Monday told the Connecticut Post the city's cleanup from the Feb. 8-9 storm may cost roughly between $1.2 million and $1.7 million.
To put that figure in perspective, the public facilities department's 2012-13 budget set aside $100,000 for snow removal overtime.
Finch spokesman Timothy Hammill said the administration spent the money on overtime, equipment, supplies and outside contractors.
"Wow. That's insane," Councilwoman Susan Brannelly, D-130, a member of the budget and appropriations committee, said of the $1.7 million price tag.
Committee chairman Angel dePara, Jr. agreed $1.7 million sounded like a lot of money.
"But then again when the city was faced with the amount of snow we had gotten and the difficulties handling such an event, it seems a little bit more plausible," dePara said.
Some of the expense will be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but there is a big question mark over that amount.
The Finch administration is in the process of crunching the numbers with the goal of convincing the federal government to cover Bridgeport for more than what was originally offered.
President Barack Obama on Feb. 10 issued an emergency declaration for Connecticut, which makes the state and its municipalities eligible for financial assistance to cover 75 percent of blizzard response costs over 48 hours.
When that 48-hour window begins and ends is up to the recipients.
"The time frame will be determined based on the costliest portion of storm cleanup, and that time frame has not been determined as yet," Hammill said.
Bridgeport and other municipalities are counting on Gov. Dannel Malloy to convince FEMA to issue a major disaster declaration, expanding the amount of work that qualifies for federal aid.
"We feel the impacts of the storm on the entire state warrant us to get more than 48 hours," said Scott DeVico, a spokesman for the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection.
But DeVico acknowledged it could prove a challenge.
"The snowfall declarations are much more complicated than other disaster declarations," he said.
The Finch administration has been accused by some of not being prepared for the blizzard and taking too long to plow streets and sidewalks.
One critic, resident David Walker, U.S. Comptroller General from 1998 to 2008, suggested to city officials at last week's hearing on blizzard response that by stretching out the cleanup effort over days the Finch administration threw away money that could have been recouped from FEMA.
The mayor and his public facilities staff have replied Bridgeport has not seen 30 inches of snowfall since the late 1800s - a factor which will be part of Malloy's pitch to FEMA.
"There are different criterias you have to meet with regards to record snowfall," DeVico said.
Finch has also said it would not be practical for the city to charge taxpayers to maintain the staff and equipment necessary for such an historic event.
But it is unclear if public facilities could have been somewhat better prepared for such a storm.
Budget documents show that for the past handful of fiscal years the department, because of limited resources, was prevented from fulfilling a recurring goal to reconfigure snow routes and improve plowing efficiency.
The 2012-13 budget currently calls for expanding snow routes from 22 to 30 to clear roads faster.
Hammill said as of winter 2010-11, the city had realigned some streets into routes requiring special equipment that can better navigate smaller, narrow streets, cul-de-sacs and dead ends.
"We are currently operating as efficiently as is possible," Hammill said. "We have made cuts in spending across the board, to provide city services while lowering the tax burden on property owners."

Travelers visiting the Portland metro area spent nearly $3 billion in 2004, money that supported over 27,000 local jobs. Over the next decade, the restaurant industry anticipates creating 45,000 new management positions. To help prepare students for management careers in the field of tourism (Oregon's second-largest industry), Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) and Portland State University have launched a joint hospitality and tourism program--the only one of its kind in the region.
Students will attend MHCC to earn an associate's degree in hospitality and tourism, with instruction and training in hotel, travel, recreation, tourism, culinary arts, food service, convention and meeting planning, and related service industries. Students then transfer to Portland State to complete a bachelor's degree in business administration, while benefiting from hands-on experience through work at PSU's University Place conference center, which hosts a range of academic conferences throughout the year.
The new program is just one example of Portland State's role as a leader in community college partnerships. Portland State University currently enrolls more than 1,500 students in co-enrollment programs with Portland, Clackamas, Chemeketa, and Mt. Hood community colleges, allowing students to take classes at both institutions concurrently.

This year, 54.1 million Americans are expected to sign up for gym and fitness club memberships. They spent almost $26 billion on these programs in 2013. By comparison, last year there were approximately 100,000 healthcare apps -- many of them free or inexpensive, according to BI Intelligence. Of these, the top 10 generate 4 million free and 300,000 paid downloads each day and will produce sales of $20 billion or more by 2018.
Even as gym memberships increase, more Americans use smartphones and tablets to get fit and stay healthy, using apps to monitor and enhance their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
In addition to helping you shed pounds, apps can tell you more about what you're eating. Using apps like MyFitnessPal or Livestrong's MyPlate, you can check out ingredients, count fat and calories, and find healthier alternatives to prepackaged or restaurant options. These tools also have begun to alter what we see on store shelves and restaurant menus. Consider, for example, the recent campaign against Subway's use of azodicarbonamide, and Chick-fil-A's plan to remove Yellow #5, TBHQ (a chemical made from butane) and reduce sodium, among others.
Convenient access to information lets you easily and privately access and tailor exercise programs and routines as well. Devices like Fitbit, Moov, Jawbone Up, and FuelBand, along with apps such as RunKeeper and MapMyFitness let runners, walkers, and cyclists monitor their progress, compete with friends on social networks, and brag about their accomplishments. Other apps add financial incentives, letting you raise money for charity or bet on your own ability to meet self-made goals.
Some app makers contend that inexpensive access to health-focused tools may also reduce overall healthcare costs, by improving awareness, and encouraging people to seek care early, when illnesses are easier and less costly to treat. Apps including iTriage and HealthTap empower users to ask questions about their symptoms, a feature that could reduce the strain on local medical providers. While developers caution against using software as a replacement for a physician's advice, many sites feature testimonials from users who became aware of medical problems through an app.
You also must consider each app's privacy policy. Many -- but not all -- apps include simple statements about how they use collected data. Before providing an app with daily insight into your dietary, exercise, sleep, and medical habits and history, make sure you fully understand and agree with its policy for using, storing, and sharing this information. If you don't, find a competing app. After all, it's your body -- and your data. Now dig into our collection of interesting health and fitness apps.Alison Diana has written about technology and business for more than 20 years.

Nintendo has been going through a rough time lately. This isn't the first time they've found themselves in this position, but this time, something feels different. I have been holding out on picking up an Xbox One or a PS4 until some better games come out, but I recently purchased a Wii U because it has some great games RIGHT NOW.
It's a good little system with some major issues (i'm looking at you gamepad battery life and overall uselessness) But the games... oh the games! They're fantastic! Nintendo has created some of the most memorable characters. I would say that Mario is as important to our culture as Mickey Mouse. I hope Nintendo can get out of this slump they're currently in because their characters and the worlds they have created deserve to succeed. In an industry overrun with space marines and brown post apocalyptic wastelands, Nintendo has injected a much needed sense of adventure, color, and joy into our world.
In honor of Nintendo, I created three new prints in my ongoing "Little Video Game Books" series. See Vol. 1 HERE and Vol. 2 HERE. Let's hope Zelda and Metroid get their turn on the Wii U before the sun sets on the embattled little console.
"The Little Plumber Bros."
"The Happy Little Hunter"
"The Little Hero of Time"
You can also buy all three prints together at a discounted price and save some money that you can use to put towards buying awesome video games! Because who doesn't need more video games in their life?

Error C101C408 occurs when adding a credit card or making a purchase on Xbox Live
You see the following error code when you try to make a purchase or add a credit card on Xbox Live:
This means one of the following:
- Your credit card could not be authorised.
- We have detected suspicious activity and are preventing charges on the card.
Solution 1: Verify the information in your Microsoft account
To verify the information in your Microsoft account, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Microsoft Account.
Note If you've forgotten your password or can't sign in with your password, reset your password.
- Note any error messages that are displayed.
- After you resolve any errors, verify the information in your Microsoft account. Verify that the billing address for your Xbox Live account matches the billing address used by your credit card company. Also make sure that your Xbox Live account payment information, including capitalisation, matches the information that is used by your credit card company.
- Sign out of your Microsoft Account, and then sign in again.
- Sign in to Xbox Live and try again to make a purchase or add a credit card.
Solution 2: Check the card details
Re-type the credit card number without any spaces, commas or other non-numeric characters. Verify that the expiry date, card security code and name that you entered are correct and match what is shown on the card.
Solution 3: Confirm that you're using an approved payment method
You can use Visa, MasterCard or American Express cards as long as they allow international purchases. Even if your card displays a Visa or MasterCard logo, it may not be approved by your bank or financial institution for international purchases.
Note Pre-paid cards, debit cards and gift cards (even those with a Visa or MasterCard logo) do not qualify as international cards and are not currently accepted.
If your credit card is an approved form of payment, try the next solution.
Solution 4: Contact your bank or financial institution
The purchase might have failed for the following reasons:
- The credit card has not been activated.
- The credit card was declined because of insufficient funds.
- The credit card can't be used for online purchases or automatic billing.
- The credit card company is preventing the card from being used.
Contact your credit card company or bank and make sure that the payment option that you're using was activated, that it has available funds and that the transaction is not being blocked for some reason.
If your bank or financial institution isn't blocking the transaction, try the next solution.
Solution 5: Try your purchase again later
The purchase might be blocked for one of the following reasons:
- Too many recent purchase attempts were declined.
- The payment option is being used from a not-valid location.
- The payment option has a violation for non-payment that's preventing it from being used for new purchases.
Wait and try the transaction again in 24 to 48 hours. When lots of purchase failures occur, this can prevent transactions from being processed until no purchase attempts have been made for a while (usually 24 to 48 hours).
If the problem still occurs after 48 hours, try the next solution.
Solution 6: Try a different payment method
If you're still having trouble, try using a different payment method, such as PayPal or a different credit card.
For information about how to change your payment method, see Change an Xbox Live payment option.

Business Info
Mission Australia is a non-denominational Christian community service organisation that has been helping people to regain their independence for over 155 years.
Independence is something we all strive for, but life rarely turns out as planned. Weâ€TMve learnt the reasons behind a loss of independence and the paths to regaining it are different for everyone. This informs the way we work to achieve our goal of reducing homelessness and strengthening communities across Australia.
We offer a wide range of integrated solutions over the long term, through homelessness initiatives and affordable housing, early learning and youth services, family support, and employment and skills development. Our nationwide team of over 3,500 staff uses different approaches, often applied in unison and inspired by Christian values.
Weâ€TMre joined in our work by governments, our corporate partners and everyday Australians who provide their generous support. Together, we stand with Australians in need until they can stand for themselves. (more)
