What to Expect When You Switch from a Spring to Foam Mattress
Linda Nguyen | Apr. 24, 2019
Changing your mattress can be hard on your body. Or too soft. Or too hot. Or too expensive. You get the idea. It's a big deal and we get that you want to get it right on the first try.
The research and design behind foam mattresses has grown immensely, not to mention they're also more conveniently packaged and delivered in comparison to traditional spring mattresses, which usually require the back of a truck or a lot of bungee cords.
We have to admit: Hoping your body will get used to a new mattress at the drop of a hat isn't realistic for everyone.
Read our breakdown of things you should know if you're about to make the switch from a spring to foam mattress.
Perfecting pressure points
Well-designed foam forms to your body to relieve pressure points in the areas that need it most without disrupting the rest of your body. Spring mattresses, on the other hand, push back in the surrounding areas where your body weight is being applied. This unevenness causes improper body support, which can lead to aches and pains, not to mention restless nights of tossing and turning.
Staying cool and comfy
Foam gets a bad rap for being temperature sensitive, causing sleepers to sleep hot. Nowadays, foam has evolved to be temperature neutral to promote airflow so you stay cool and supported all throughout the night.
No more motion commotion
Foam is designed to limit or provide zero motion transfer, which means you won't wake up whomever is sharing the bed with you. Because of how reactive springs are to pressure, you're more likely to wake up your sleeping partner as you switch sleeping positions or make a midnight bathroom run.
Sleeping > Scratching and sneezing
Spring mattresses can have plush polyester tops, but the empty space between the springs is the perfect home for dust mites to gather. Foam mattresses are a solid block, which means dust mites have no chance of getting through to call your mattress home.
Quality paired with affordability
We spend one-third of our lives sleeping. That's a significant portion of your life, so it should be good without costing a pretty penny. Spring mattresses don't cost much to manufacture, but their support diminishes after one year of use. Don't get us wrong — the most expensive mattress on the market won't necessarily promise the most incredible sleep. It's all about brands who focus on quality design that supports your needs.
Mattress maintenance
Spring mattresses inherently have a shorter lifespan because of simple cause and effect: the coil design invites irreversible sagging due to regular pressure from body weight. Considering that modern spring mattresses layer a plush pillow comfort top, flipping to combat coil sagging is not an option. Foam mattresses only need to be rotating every six months to encourage its balance — less lifting and flipping means more snoozing.
We hope this information makes you more confident to bring foam into your home! If we've peaked your interest, click here to learn more about the Endy Mattress here.

In darkness I count my blessings like Manman taught me. One. I am alive. Two. There is no two.
Haiti 2010: in the aftermath of the earthquake a boy lies trapped beneath the rubble: terrified, thirsty and alone. Shorty is a child of the slums, a teenager who has seen enough violence to last a lifetime and who has been inexorably drawn into the world of the gangsters who rule his broken city: men who dole out money with one hand and death with the other.But Shorty has a secret: a flame of revenge that burns inside him, fuelling his determination to find his beloved twin sister, stolen from him five years ago. In the darkness the lines between the present and the past begin to blur and, as Shorty fights for life, his struggle becomes part of a two-hundred-year-old story—a story of courage and betrayal, of freedom and of hope. Shorty may not be quite as alone as he believes…

UWTSD celebrates its involvement in this year's BAFTA Cymru Awards
The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) is looking forward to this weekend's 2016 BAFTA Cymru Awards Ceremony, as this year, UWTSD is involved as a sponsor as well as being linked to two nominations.
The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) is looking forward to this weekend's 2016 BAFTA Cymru Awards Ceremony, as this year, UWTSD is involved as a sponsor as well as being linked to two nominations.
With its long-standing tradition in the creative and visual arts, UWTSD is proud to sponsor the Special and Visual Effects, Titles and Graphic Identity Category – a category featuring nominees comprising the production teams of Doctor Who and Sherlock along with the Super Furry Animals documentary, SFA Y Blynyddoedd Blewog.
In addition to sponsoring a category, a programme that followed the Urdd Theatre Company as they staged a new production of Les Misérables - produced in association with UWTSD - has also been nominated in the Entertainment Category.
Les Misérables – Y Daith i'r Llwyfan was took a behind the scenes look at the Welsh language production that featured a cast of 130 young people from all corners of Wales.
The Wales Millennium Centre and Urdd Gobaith Cymru in association with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and Ysgol Glanaethwy proudly presented the Welsh medium production in Cardiff last October to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the official opening of the Wales Millennium Centre and the Urdd Cardiff Sleepover.
The production was a huge success as was the partnership between UWTSD and the Wales Millennium Centre – a collaboration that has already received great recognition having won the 2016 Arts and Business Cymru Award for Arts, Business & Brand Identity.
UWTSD is also pleased that a short film on the late Welsh artist Osi Rhys Osmond, supported by the University and Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre has been nominated for a BAFTA Cymru Award.
Brightest Films' Creative Director Clare Sturges is recognised in her nomination for her producing and directing work on My Brief Eternity: Ar Awyr Le – a short-form documentary following Welsh artist and former UWTSD lecturer Osi Rhys Osmond as he creates his final piece of work for the upcoming Maggie's South East Wales Centre during the late stages of advanced cancer.
My Brief Eternity is a collaboration between Brightest Films and Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre, supported by University of Wales Trinity Saint David. It is the second nomination for Clare, who won the BAFTA Cymru Breakthrough Award in 2015 – the first female director to do so.
Dr Ian Walsh, UWTSD's Dean of Faculty of Art and Design said: "Osi was a much loved and respected colleague to many in Swansea College of Art at UWTSD. His passing left an enormous hole in the lives of those who knew him. Clare's sensitive and poignant film captures Osi in his final days, facing death, just as he embraced life, on his own terms."
The University is delighted to be a part of the 25th BAFTA Cymru Awards ceremony, which celebrates Welsh talent across film and television production, craft and performance roles.
UWTSD has a great reputation for offering a range of courses in the creative industries – from art and design to theatre and performance. The number and range of courses offered by the University will also grow over the next few years to coincide with the development of Canolfan S4C Yr Egin that will be established on the Carmarthen campus.
Canolfan S4C Yr Egin is a development that will be home to a cluster of companies and organisations from the creative and digital industries as well as being the new home of S4C's main headquarters. The centre will open in early 2018.
"This is a development that has an exciting vision that will transform and shape the creative and digital industries in South West Wales and beyond," says Gwilym Dyfri Jones, Associate Pro Vice Chancellor at UWTSD.
"Canolfan S4C Yr Egin will be a centre that will stimulate ideas and connections while nurturing talent and sharing resources – a creative melting-pot for practitioners and entrepreneurs from a variety of disciplines.
"There will also be many opportunities for local people to enjoy the building as well as its various resources - a cafe, auditorium and performance stages that will offer a range of events for diverse audiences," he continues.
Bringing together a range of creative, digital and cultural practitioners within the same building, there will be an opportunity to co-locate a set of specific skills, thereby establishing opportunities to exchange information, to innovate and to create jobs.
Due to its strong links with the creative industries – and its involvement with two of this year's nominations - UWTSD is very proud to support this year's BAFTA Cymru Awards which take place on 2nd October 2016 at St David's Hall, Cardiff. The ceremony will feature special guest performances and celebrity award presenters representing the best of the UK's creative and media industries.

Towards the dying days of the campaign to save marriage in Australia, the Queensland ACL office received the news we were expecting, but hoping wouldn't happen – our State election was being held in 26 days!
The Queensland election is tomorrow, and it is a pivotal election in our State.
On the line is how we as a State will treat our most vulnerable – our children, our un-born babies, our sick and elderly. Truly we are choosing whether we will support wholeness and human dignity, or not.
Queenslanders deserve to know the full extent of the controversial Safe Schools program in state schools and why on the eve of the election, Education Minister Kate Jones suddenly denies its existence.
How will you vote in the upcoming Queensland election? The choice has never been starker.
With the sitting member, Peter Wellington retiring after close to 20 years, Nicklin voters are keenly weighing up the values of new candidates in relation to fundamental social issues such as euthanasia, abortion and their views on radical sex education being taught to kids.
The Australian Christian Lobby has expressed disappointment that Toowoomba North Labor candidate Kerry Shine will break with convention by not attending Monday night's Meet Your Candidate Forum.
At the Queensland election, voters are being encouraged to consider which candidates are willing to provide real choices and support to women who have an unwanted pregnancy.
Parental rights to keep their children free of radical LGBTIQ sex and gender theory in the classroom will be a major issue for the November 25 Queensland election.

Yu Komori was a studious if withdrawn middle school student living in Tokyo with his widowed aunt. While working on an experiment using radioactivity controllers, Yu was bitten by a spider that had somehow been exposed to his research materials. Sickened by the radiation from the bite, Yu discovered that he had received the spider's strength and wall-crawling during a confrontation with some bullies. Intrigued by this new development, he designed a costume and a pair of webshooters, deciding to keep his powers secret.
Yu initially had no intention of using his powers as a superhero, but when an electrically-powered cyborg - this universe's version of Electro - began an unstoppable crime spree, a million-yen reward was offered for the criminal's capture. Hoping to use the money to help his childhood friend and secret crush Rumi pay for her mother's medical bills, Yu confronted Electro, but his inexperience led to his defeat, and Electro made off with millions in cash, killing the security guards in the process. A second encounter with Electro at a shopping mall would result in the death of the scientist who had created Electro, who was being forced to steal the money so he could have his humanity surgically restored. Realizing that the scientist's death doomed him to isolation, Electro went mad, blaming Spider-Man and vowing revenge. In a brief struggle, Yu struck Electro with all his strength, mortally wounding him, and revealing that Electro was Rumi's older brother. Although the media hailed Spider-Man as a hero for stopping Electro, Yu grieved that he had taken a life, and struggled with the guilt of having killed Rumi's brother. Rumi, however, did not blame Spider-Man for her brother's death.
Still reeling from Electro's death, Yu then became involved when a large lizard-like creature attacked the medical research company owned by the father of his best friend, Araki. Consulting Dr. Inumaru, a biologist friend and mentor of Yu's, Yu and Araki notice blood on the doctor's lab floor. Shortly after that, the pair are attacked by the Lizard, and Araki is abducted. Yu blames himself for not acting to save his friend.
Araki's father receives a ransom demand from the Lizard to deliver the notes on a new formula being developed, and Spider-Man promises to rescue Araki. As Araki's father makes the ransom drop, Spider-Man watches from a distance, and sees Dr. Inumaru, realizing that his mentor is the Lizard. Dr. Inumaru destroys the formula notes, and reveals that a year prior, Araki's father had tried to murder Inumaru over a new medical discovery. Surviving the attempt on his life, but abandoned in the harsh jungle, Inumaru fought to survive, until he somehow contracted a form of therianthropy, and learned that he could now assume a lizard's form when he was angry. Spider-Man saves Araki from Inumaru's crocodiles, and orders Araki and his father to flee. When Yu is unable to reason with the Lizard, even going so far as to tell the Lizard Spider-Man's true name, he is forced to kill the Lizard by throwing him to the crocodiles. At the last second, however, the Lizard reverts to Inumaru, suggesting that in his last moments, he found some peace. The betrayal and death of his mentor rattles Yu, and he becomes uncertain if, the next time he encounters a supervillain, he won't instead sympathize with them.
Shortly after the Lizard case, Spider-Man saved a group of men from a fugitive from America, a wrestler called the Kangaroo, who was wanted for murder. During a chase, the Kangaroo caused substantial damage to the city, for which Spider-Man was blamed. Matters were made worse when the owner of the Joho newspaper, which had initially offered the reward for Electro's defeat, decided to smear Spider-Man as a means of recouping the losses paying him the million yen had incurred. Soon Spider-Man was seen as a publicity-hungry hypocrite, and even when he saved a child from a stampeding mob caused by the Kangaroo, and donated his Electro money to a number of orphanages, public opinion was still against him. After taking a job at the Joho paper to earn enough money to search for Kangaroo, Yu and his friends are wounded during a series of hit and run accidents. Yu learns from the doctor treating their wounds that Kangaroo has put the entire city into a panic by stealing a deadly bacteria. The accidents that wounded Yu and his friends, and the riot that nearly kept them from receiving medical attention, are due to the citizens racing to escape the city before Kangaroo releases the bacteria. Yu, as Spider-Man, tracked the Kangaroo down, and defeated him, retrieving the bacteria and returning it to the police. However, the Kangaroo's words during the battle shook Yu's confidence in himself, and afraid that he may one day follow the same path as the Kangaroo, Yu threw his Spider-Man costume away.
However, Yu's retirement was short lived, as a Spider-Man imposter had appeared, attacking people seemingly at random. Although Yu tries to ignore this imposter, as the crimes escalate in severity, from assaults to thefts to attempted murder on random citizens, he vows to stop the imposter after Rumi is assaulted. But no sooner had Yu donned a new costume to begin the search for the fake Spider-Man, then he received a challenge from someone calling themselves Mysterio, who had promised to stop "Spider-Man"'s crime wave. Meeting Mysterio on a bridge, with thousands of citizens watching, Spider-Man is humiliated and beaten, and during an escape from the police, a young boy is injured. Taking the boy to the hospital, Spider-Man learns that unless 500,000 yen can be raised for surgery, the boy will go blind. Taking a job as a stuntman to raise the money, Yu learns that the boy was never in any danger, but that the doctor lied to him in the hopes that Spider-Man would surrender. Mysterio appears to kill Spider-Man, but Yu leads him to fight on top of a speeding train, making Mysterio's spider-sense dampening mist useless. Disabling Mysterio's other gadgets, Yu shatters his helmet, revealing that Mysterio himself was the imposter. Mysterio is defeated, and Spider-Man's reputation is restored, but Rumi leaves after being unable to deal with Yu's secrecy.
Yu's life becomes further complicated when he saves a young girl from a gang in his civilian identity. In the confusion, Yu is accused of being a part of the gang, and is unable to explain his actions without revealing his powers. What's more, he recognized one of the assailants as a senior in his school, the kendo team's captain Mikawa. Although Yu's involvement with the assault was hushed up by the school, the rumour still circulated, and Yu soon found himself outcast from the other students. Devising a plan to trap the real assailants, Yu joins the kendo team and singlehandedly defeats every member with his powers. He repeatedly defeats Mikawa himself, taunting the team captain with every defeat, until Mikawa lashes out in anger, revealing himself to be a coward and hurting his own reputation. However, Yu is accosted by the brother of the girl who accused him, and beaten. After, he learns that Rumi has taken a job as a waitress in a nightclub. Yu is assaulted by the club's security for violating their rules on underaged patrons, but as he's ejected from the club, he promised Rumi that he'll return with his school uniform, telling the security men that he's the captain of the kendo team. This leads to the school administrators believing it was Mikawa who was assaulted at the club, further damaging his reputation. In a rage, Mikawa arranges to ambush Yu, and attacks him with the entire team. However, Yu defeats them all, and gets them to confess to the assault Yu himself was accused of. Araki, who was concerned for Yu, overhears the confession, and backs Yu's story up, but Yu alienates his friend by not revealing the nature of his newfound strength.
Yu later found himself and his friends in a hostage situation, when a psychotic American veteran went on a shooting rampage that culminated in several deaths and injuries, and a near-crash of a jetliner which Spider-Man narrowly averted.
Unable to deal with the stress of his actions as Spider-Man, as well as obsessing over Rumi, Yu falls in with a gang of drug dealers led by high-school student Inumaru (no known relation to the scientist who became the Lizard). Yu grappled with Inumaru's charm, coming to befriend the young criminal, but not wanting to fall into his sociopathic lifestyle. After stopping Inumaru's lackies from assaulting a girl, Yu and Inumaru's girlfriend found themselves kidnapped by Inumaru's yakuza rivals. Although Yu was able to defeat their abductors, he was unable to prevent Inumaru from being ambushed. Despite being outnumbered, Inumaru escaped, and tried to flee the city, only to be killed by the police.
Yu then encountered a strange woman only he could see, whom he had learned was responsible for several mysterious freezing deaths. Driven to near madness by her power, Yu was ready to kill her with a knife, when she instead threw herself off a bridge, rather then live with the weight of the lives she had taken.
Yu soon finds himself held prisoner, this time by revolutionaries who have kidnapped a high-ranking police official and a young civilian. Breaking free of his bonds and saving the fevered civilian, Yu nearly kills the ringleader, but relents at the last minute, shaken that he could come so close to murder.
When Rumi is murdered by a serial killer called the Mad Racer, Yu joins the police task force to catch him. Yu learns how to race from cycling instructor Taki Shogo, who was later revealed to be the Mad Racer himself. During a confrontation with Shogo, Yu took the wheel of Shogo's car, causing him to crash. Shogo was shot by a police sniper, and Yu was left mourning Rumi.
Yu donates blood to a young man named Mitsuo, who soon develops spider powers of his own. However, Mitsuo is bitter at the world, and the power soon goes to his head. He pulls off several daring robberies, and seriously injures several police officers before Spider-Man confronts him. Mitsuo lies to Spider-Man and promises to reform, but Yu later returns home to find the Spider-Man suit and webshooters missing. Sure enough, "Spider-Man" soon begins attacking a steel company that had ruined Mitsuo's family. Mitsuo and Yu confront each other, but Mitsuo threatens the life of his own sister Yukiko, whom Yu has grown to love. However, Mitsuo's power and menace drives Yukiko insane, and she begs Yu to kill him; when Yu hesitates, Yukiko becomes completely unhinged. Learning that Mitsuo forced his own sister into prostitution, Yu becomes determined to defeat his power-mad doppelganger. During the fight between the Spider-Men, Mitsuo's spider powers fade, and he slips off a roof, falling to his death.
Yu's school comes under the influence of the seemingly telepathic Miss Miwa, a new teacher, who inspires the students to harm themselves and, as Yu learns, has killed others in the past. As Yu digs deeper into the mystery of Miss Miwa, he faces the fear that his friends and classmates may have been corrupted, the paranoia that he cannot escape Miwa's surveillance, the murder of the school principal, and Miwa's efforts to corrupt him. As the school comes under siege by the insane students, Spider-Man confronts Miwa, who reveals that she has no control over the power she possesses. As the school comes under police attack, Miss Miwa commits suicide by standing up, allowing the police to shoot her dead.
Yu is horrified when a man is murdered in his arms, torn apart by an invisible beast. He learns that the dead man was part of a yakuza group connected to the recording industry, and that he was part of a gang that assaulted a young singer who refused to bow to the mob's demands. Yu witnesses the other members of the gang mauled by the invisible tiger, and tries to appeal to the singer, to no avail. He then tries to warn the president of the recording company, who refuses to believe him. Out of fear, the mob sends an assassin to kill the singer; Yu confronts the assassin as the killer leaves the singer's apartment, but before he can act, the tiger, no longer invisible, attacks and kills the assassin. Yu finds the singer clinging to life, and contemplates letting her die to stop the murders, but in the end, he sympathizes with her and encourages her to lash out one last time. The tiger simultaneously slaughters the rest of the mobsters and recording company executives, no matter where they are, even killing the company president on a jetliner. As the singer finally dies from her injuries, Yu sees the tiger in her room, covered in gore, and understands that the rage she felt that lead to her creating the tiger is inside every person. [citation needed]
Yu was later joined the Spider-Army to oppose the Inheritors on Earth-001.[1]
Powers and Abilities
Seemingly those of Peter Parker (Earth-616). Yu also seemed to possess enhanced senses of hearing, vision, and smell, and was bulletproof, although he could be bloodied and bruised through repeated physical blows.
- Web-Shooters: The twin devices worn on his wrists are able to shoot thin strands of a special "web fluid" at high pressure.

I've said it before, I love a good challenge. And Lilybean Paperie always has a great one. For the end of October she had a new one. The challenge was to make a holiday greeting card incorporating chipboard, rubons, buttons, glitter, ribbon and polka dots. Here's my first try:
And while I was pretty happy with it....oops! I forgot the chipboard. And glitter. OK, so lets try for number 2, which happens to be my favorite one anyway:
I love this one. This is my fav. Maybe just I'm so into black right now for Christmas. And red! Give me red anytime, anyplace. The image of Santa and the sleigh is actually from an old post card and loved the chip board ampersand.
While we are thinking Christmas, particularly Christmas in red, here are a few more shots of the store. This is our little "Cottage Christmas" area. I love it. I love vintage look, especially for Christmas. Reminds me of my childhood I guess.
Here's another:
Don't you love it? My favs are the HO HO HO pillows. Believe me, many jokes have been made about the single HO on each pillow...need I say more.
Several of the items in this area are the real deal vintage. One of the ladies at the store has the uncanny ability to locates tons of vintage stuff each year and then she brings it all in for sale. Lots of neat things.
Well, just wanted to post the cards before Lilybean's deadline. Plus taking advantage of the extra hour tonight....I love it.
Hope you're having a great weekend.

A little over 48 hours after her son's death, Cheri Brown voice kept calm and steady over the phone.
"At the moment, I'm being as strong as I can," she said. "We're just trying to function."
Cheri Brown and her husband, Jeff, have opened their home to friends of their son, Aaron Brown, who was shot by an off-duty Alexandria police officer outside an International House of Pancakes restaurant early Saturday morning. Aaron, their only child, was 18 years old, a promising guitarist who chose to attend Northern Virginia Community College after graduating from Annandale High School in June because he didn't want his parents to "spend that kind of money" to send him to college further away.
"My son's friends and all their families have been here since Saturday night," Cheri Brown said. "We've had some pretty horrible crying jags together."
Sitting on her piano are pictures of her son, along with a cowboy hat he loved and a drum cymbal signed by his friends. They provide her comfort, small tokens of a life cut short.
"I haven't been able to bring myself to go into his room yet," she said. "There's been a mix of emotions between being angry and puzzled and aghast. It's all so unreal."
AARON AND A FEW FRIENDS were at the International House of Pancakes early Saturday morning. Reports from Alexandria police indicate that they left the restaurant, possibly without paying for their meals, and got into a 1996 Jeep Cherokee driven by Stephen C. Smith. An off-duty Alexandria police officer, Carl Stowe, was working security at the restaurant that night and allegedly went out after the teenagers. When they tried to drive away, reports indicate Stowe pulled out his police-issued Glock handgun and fired several shots into the vehicle. Aaron, who was sitting in the back seat of the vehicle, was shot and killed.
Cheri Brown said her son's friends have been coming to her house for years to hang out. It was a home they felt welcome in, one in which their parents knew they would not have access to alcohol.
"His friends help me," she said. "All of the boys are about the same shape, tall, skinny kids. When I'm hugging one of them, it helps me."
Sunday night, his friends gathered on the floor of their living room, sharing stories about Aaron.
"He was the kind of guy that would be driving down the street, see someone, get out of the car and give them a hug," Cheri Brown said.
She doubts that her son and his friends would have left the restaurant without paying their bill.
"He would've been able to handle the situation better. If he were driving the car that night, he would've stopped," she said.
However, she thinks Stephen Smith, the driver that night, "was probably in desperation."
While a police investigation continues into what happened Saturday morning continues, Cheri Brown said her anger has been replaced by a deeper feeling.
"The loss is so much stronger," she said. "It's just insurmountable right now."
ON A WOODEN FENCE outside the restaurant and Comfort Inn where Aaron was shot, a memorial has sprung up, filled with pictures and tokens of affection.
His friends have written notes to Aaron, calling him the "epitome of a great human being," "the greatest guitar player." A blue guitar pick has been affixed to the wall with an almost unreadable message in small black letters.
One girl wrote to Aaron: "Hey friend, it didn't take much for anyone to fall in love with you ... You know you'll always have a place in our hearts because your kindness is truly everlasting. P.S., You have taught me how to be a patient and kind person. I'll always remember you for that. We love you Aaron."
The memorial has drawn the attention of people who didn't know Aaron or his family, but felt compelled to stop.
"I was just out for a ride and decided to drop by," said Andy Remson, an Annandale resident who does not know Aaron or his family. "It's a shame this happened. There are no words that I can say that could be appropriate for his family. It's too bad, it's just too bad."
Glen Horning's daughter attended Annandale High School with Aaron, and the two of them used to hang out together in Horning's house after school.
"Aaron was an excellent kid. He was the most gentle, wonderful person you'd ever want to know," he said, approaching the memorial.
Horning said he "can't imagine" Aaron and his friends walking out of the restaurant without paying; the group of friends Aaron and his daughter hung around with frequented that particular IHOP.
"There's something that just doesn't seem right about the whole thing," he said.
Horning said that he was going to miss seeing Aaron around.
"I have two wonderful daughters," he said. "If I would've had a son, I would've picked Aaron."
Aaron Brown is survived by his parents, Jeff and Cheri Brown of Springfield.

Re: Noriega Home School05/13/14
posted by George B. Feist
In 1953 my family lived at 1967 42nd Avenue near Noriega I think. I went to NORIEGA HOME SCHOOL there in 2nd grade. In September of 1954 we moved to PACIFICA in the Linda Mar part of town where Pedro Beach is located. My neighbors were the DELZERs...Nadine was the daughter near my age (a year older as I recall). Wonder whatever happened to her and her family. I remember our backyard was all sanddunes and plants that just grew somehow thru the sand. I recall the neat deep garage enough room for 2 cars...We had a 1952 Plymouth at the time.

From the moment Allied occupation troops entered Germany, two things became apparent: first, that GIs would waste little time in finding new sexual partners and, second, that with just as much gusto, American reporters and photographers would alert stateside audiences to these liaisons. No occupied territory excited greater or more prurient interest than the female body. Nor did anything more speedily tarnish the image of America's postwar occupation than the avidity with which American servicemen of all ranks engaged in what was euphemistically termed "fraternization" with defeated former foes.
Military leaders had expressly forbidden American service personnel from fraternizing with Germans, of all ages and both sexes, in any way whatsoever. GIs were reminded about this prohibition at every turn, from the Pocket Guide to Germany to orientation films, radio spots, posters, and large billboards that lined the routes along which Allied soldiers poured into the Third Reich in the war's closing months.
At first, Germany—and German women—appeared suitably hostile or simply absent from the visual record of Allied conquest. Life magazine's March 19, 1945, issue carried a striking, full-page image of an amused American corporal cinching a female figure with a passing facial resemblance to Marlene Dietrich. On closer inspection, her extravagantly arched eyebrows turned out to be the least improbable feature of this GI's inamorata—a mannequin wearing almost nothing other than a long wig and a Wehrmacht officer's cap. "American soldiers are forbidden to 'fraternize' with real German girls," the caption explained. Although the text went on to remark that fraternization was "hard to prevent," Life offered no further illumination. That would soon change.
Four months later, the magazine devoted several pages to a photo story illuminating the "No. 1 gripe of American GIs in Germany, the official policy of 'nonfraternization'": a rule that meant "soldiers are forbidden marriage, visits, drinking, shaking hands, playing games, hobnobbing, exchanging gifts, walking, sitting, dancing or talking to the Germans." To show how egregiously American soldiers were violating the ban, Life devoted an entire page to a photograph showing a GI pinioning a young woman against the wall of a dreary apartment building, his body angled toward hers, their faces just inches apart. "In a back yard near Wiesbaden, U.S. soldier corners a pretty, laughing German girl," the caption read.
But the other photographs in the story served a rather different purpose: to show that the truly ingenious players in occupied Germany's game of cat and mouse were the fräuleins who set out to tease and ensnare guileless GIs. German women, in effect, were doing the real pinioning. Wearing "flimsy" summer dresses—or even less at Germany's beaches and pools—they paraded their untouchable assets. "Girls flaunt themselves partly to taunt the Americans," Life explained, "but chiefly in order to get 'frau bait' of candy, gum and cigarets [sic]." Stars and Stripes published similar photographs of solidly constructed young women in two-piece bathing suits that both reminded GIs about what was off-limits and encouraged them to disregard the prohibition. "Verboten—but not too bad from this angle," ran one caption.
The claim that women solicited their occupiers' attention—for both amusement and profit—quickly became a dominant explanation for the breakdown of soldiers' sexual restraint in occupied Germany. No less an authority than Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery endorsed this thesis; the British general accused the country's female population of practicing a "new form of German sabotage by wearing fewer and fewer clothes, thereby undermining nonfraternization policy." Time reported that this treacherous striptease had disarmed both Tommies and GIs: "German girls in brief shorts and halters systematically sunned themselves in full view of U.S. engineers…. Military policemen…had their patience tried by a girl who patted her backside and whispered 'verboten' every time she passed…. The effect on [troops] was exactly what the Field Marshal feared."
This story encapsulated the contradictions that characterized the press's take on sex and the occupation soldier. On the one hand, nothing seemingly sullied the good name of the American occupation government more than illicit intimate contact between American personnel and German women. As war correspondent Percy Knauth pointed out in Life, they were "girls who used to go out with the guys who killed your buddies." That German women were "preoccupied"—the former lovers of Nazi Party bigwigs or Wehrmacht small fry—made them all the more dangerous, or, worse yet, all the more alluring. Yet, however lamentable this sordid state of affairs, GIs were not wholly, or even primarily, to blame.
The "unspeakable" was also highly marketable. Rarely did magazine editors pass up an easy double entendre. When Collier's magazine published a story in October 1946 entitled "Heels among the Heroes," it illustrated Edward Morgan's essay about low morale and lax morality among American occupation forces with a photograph of three "comely German Fräuleins" in bikinis protesting an "off-limits" sign planted at a beach. The GI they petitioned was dressed only in bathing trunks. "It takes a strong man to remain firm," the caption nudged.
One troublesome word, "occupation," thus found itself inextricably entangled with another: "fraternization." It was an "awful big word for most GIs," an army field surgeon wrote to his wife from Germany in July 1945, but it "usually just means one thing to them." A much simpler, four-letter word could readily be substituted for this cumbersome term—or it could be abbreviated to "frattin," with no truncation of meaning.
Neither before nor during World War II had American military commanders hit on a reliable formula for constraining soldiers' sexual activity in all its unruliness. A ban on fraternization had been tried in Germany before, when American troops occupied the Rhineland after World War I. The prohibition failed and was quickly rescinded. During World War II, soldiers overseas had become accustomed to having sex with or without the military establishment's direct facilitation. It was inconceivable that troops would cease and desist from all sexual activity upon entry into Germany, no matter what stern injunctions SHAEF—Allied supreme headquarters—might issue. Recognizing this, one senior officer proposed that if superiors insisted on a fraternization ban, "we should import into Germany at the earliest possible moment our own women in as large numbers as may be."
As that chimerical recommendation suggests, the antifraternization rule was not exclusively, or even primarily, a military device contrived to starve soldiers of sex. Dwight D. Eisenhower's order prohibiting all social contact—issued on September 12, 1944, the day after the first American troops occupied a small pocket of southwestern Germany around Aachen—reflected the tightening of Washington policy on the so-called "German Question." As such, the ban sought to impress on citizens of the Third Reich their "collective guilt" by force of complete ostracism.
To help Germans "see the error of their ways" they would be "held at arm's length," as General John H. Hilldring, commander of the War Department's Civil Affairs Division, put it. The terms of Eisenhower's prohibition made his figurative expression literal. Germans wouldn't just be held at arm's length; they wouldn't be held at all. Even handshaking was banned. The prohibition of more intimate physical contact was left unspoken but implied.
Washington's line on fraternization toughened under popular pressure. Soon after American troops occupied Aachen, photographs appeared in stateside newspapers showing soldiers enjoying the hospitality of German families—taking convivial meals together, with GIs' arms familiarly draped over children's shoulders. Within days, President Franklin D. Roosevelt cabled Eisenhower about photographs "considered objectionable by a number of our people." The president asked that SHAEF both stamp out fraternization and ensure that "publication of such photos be effectively prohibited." Eisenhower responded that he had already insisted "that fraternization be suppressed completely," but the ban would henceforth be more total in its remit.
Military commanders found themselves in the uncomfortable position of imposing a prohibition they believed unenforceable. They employed every conceivable argument to urge men away from contact with Germans—playing, in particular, on fears of contamination. Antifraternization propaganda construed German women as doubly dangerous: carriers of noxious ideological strains as well as sexually transmitted diseases. Posters presented a lurid image of female siren-saboteurs poised to infect American boys' minds with the bacillus of Nazism and their bodies with syphilis and gonorrhea. In the spring of 1945, after the Allies had liberated the concentration and extermination camps, antifraternization warnings also incorporated photographs of Germany's victims to underscore the message that Americans must shun the perpetrators of these abhorrent crimes.
But the terms of the ban were extraordinarily difficult to respect. Military personnel whose work required them to interact with German civilians on a day-to-day basis found it especially awkward. On occasion, drivers, translators, and other subordinates rebuked military officers for unthinkingly offering their hands to German civilians or returning salutes before they had had time to curb reflexes of military courtesy.
Some checked their instincts but wondered whether they had been correct to do so. On May 22, 1945, Major John Maginnis recounted in his diary that he had gone to pick up some photographs from a small shop in Berlebeck: "In the normal European fashion, [the elderly proprietor] courteously preceded me to the door and extended his hand as I departed. I did not take it and somehow it bothered me that I did not. Had I given him the customary brief handshake, would I have been fraternizing? Probably." Maginnis did not pursue the logic of his unease further. But others certainly wondered whether the ban was not calculated to engender more hostility than remorse, particularly among Germans who had not been party members and bristled at the undifferentiated guilt Americans attached to the entire population.
One nettlesome question was whether children deserved to be stigmatized in exactly the same way as their parents and other adults. Sidney Eisenberg told his family in the Bronx about a fleeting encounter, two days before Germany's final capitulation, that had rattled him: "As you know I take this non-fraternization business very seriously—far more than most. I slipped up once. I walk home from work every day—3 1⁄2 miles—for the exercise and completely ignore the Herrenvolk en route. But the other day a sweet little girl—about 7 years old—dragging a tiny kid brother, smiled at me faintly—hopefully. I grinned at her efforts and she immediately broke into the loveliest smile imaginable—one I shall never forget tho I felt guilt about even this afterward."
Ban or no ban, American soldiers found Germany alive with sexual activity in the spring and summer of 1945. One particularly galling phenomenon to many GIs was the fact that German POWs were being released and returning home by the early summer. "Darling it sure does burn the boys over here to see all the German soldiers walking down the road going home and then we have to stay here and watch them," infantryman Aubrey Ivey wrote to his wife from Landa on May 26, 1945.
Worse yet, these demobilized veterans were publicly resuming their romantic lives, and seemingly flaunting their freedom to do so, under the disgusted gaze of the occupiers. On June 6, Leo Bogart, a sergeant in the Army Signal Corps, wrote his parents in Brooklyn on the subject: "To the GI who is faithful to a woman back in the States, or who just wants to keep his nose clean and sticks to the non-fraternization rule, there is something extremely irritating in the sight of a Nazi soldier, in his uniform, walking slowly down the street of an evening in the embrace of a good-looking Fräulein."
Former Wehrmacht soldiers were not the only ones enjoying an instant "peace dividend." Some female Displaced Persons—many of them former forced laborers from Eastern Europe—were also running "miniature houses of joy," as one military government officer put it. "I broke that up fast for the two were Polish and therefore had to be shipped to a repatriation center if they weren't doing useful work," Second Lieutenant Maurice Kurtz informed his spouse, quipping that "useful" was all a matter of perspective. Predictably enough, the Poles' clientele was not limited to other DPs. Since the fraternization ban did not extend to other nationalities, American soldiers quickly entered into liaisons with DPs.
Life also alerted its readers to the way in which GIs would spuriously "renationalize" women to circumvent the ban against fraternization, pretending that German girlfriends were not, in fact, German. "The boys never admit fraternizing, and it's always a French girl, or a Belgian, or a Russian, or a Pole involved. They're very cagey," Dr. Felix Vann, a major in the 863rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion, informed his wife in late May.
In an attempt to stamp out this ruse, Twelfth Army Group headquarters began issuing colored cloth armbands to DPs that would identify them by nationality: a practice uncomfortably redolent of the Nazi insistence that persecuted populations literally wear their identity on their sleeves. Another unit tried something similar with lapel buttons. Predictably, these readily discarded markers of identity did not prove an effective impediment to GI ingenuity. Indeed, enlisted men's can-do entrepreneurialism simply ensured that a brisk black market developed for DP armbands and buttons.
Officers were just as quick to circumvent the fraternization ban as enlisted men. But where the latter often required deviousness to maneuver around rules, officers simply bent them on a grander scale. Officers, after all, both devised and enforced the rules—or ignored them.
Felix Vann expanded on his observations about enlisted men's associations with DPs, or Germans they passed off as such, with equally scathing diatribes about officers. Many of them, he noted in July 1945, were "going off the deep end." Married and single officers alike routinely maintained relationships with women they had met earlier in France and Belgium, issuing themselves passes so they could return west at whim to visit their girlfriends. Unlike enlisted men, officers enjoyed the self-assigned leisure and mobility required to sustain long-distance romances. Others, Vann noted, were "shacked up with WACs [Women's Army Corps] and nurses," leading to another common complaint of enlisted men: that their superiors monopolized all the available American women.
With some officers openly pursuing affairs in Germany and beyond, enlisted men inclined to break the rules no doubt felt all the more vindicated in pursuing their own amorous adventures. In this permissive environment, punishment for violations of the fraternization ban was rarely severe, especially after V-E Day. Enlisted men faced fines of $65 for fraternization, a sum equivalent to two or three months' net pay for most, but few offenders were actually docked.
Officers tended to be especially lenient in excusing one another's "indiscretions." Major Maginnis, who in his diary had expressed misgivings about his interaction with a German shop owner, also recorded his vexation that a general, Frank Howley, failed to take a serious view of two field-grade officers openly "having social parties" with German women, letting the men off with nothing more than a "good dressing down." Meanwhile in the Bavarian Alps, Colonel Clifton Lisle, commander of the 2nd European Civil Affairs Regiment, tried to hold the line by court-martialing an officer who had consorted with a woman Lisle described as a "notorious Nazi whore." (His diary noted his incomprehension over "such things," but not the verdict.)
Despite some officers' best efforts, the line was not to be held. As army historian Earl Ziemke writes, nonfraternization policy "did not end, it disintegrated."
The first substantial retreat came on June 4, 1945, when SHAEF quietly released word that contraction of VD would no longer be "used directly or indirectly as evidence of fraternization"—an indication the ban had done nothing to curb escalating rates of infection. In fact, halfhearted attempts to respect nonfraternization had just the opposite effect. One army medic noted that after Eisenhower's initial order was decreed, the bowl of condoms that had formerly sat at the end of the chow line was removed—with predictable consequences for the sexual health of soldiers and their partners.
However, these pragmatic rationales for rescinding the ban hardly made for the best PR. The public narrative, as spun for the home front, attempted to turn a negative into a positive by first authorizing friendly relations between military personnel and children. Eisenhower made this announcement on June 11, conjuring a heartwarming image of the generous GI to whom youngsters everywhere were irresistibly drawn. This surely elicited knowing chuckles from men only too well aware that it was hardly the dispensing of Hershey bars to infants that had preoccupied the high command. The new amendment also seemed almost to encourage GIs to set their sights ever lower, since interaction with young girls could now, however disingenuously, be justified by the official sanction given to friendly dealings with children. In this vein, Life tellingly captioned a photograph of a GI greeting a young German woman, "Goodday, child."
What was left of the ban lasted only another month before Eisenhower announced that soldiers could henceforth engage German adults in conversation. Gamely, but misleadingly, he asserted that this move reflected the great strides that had been made with denazification. By permitting verbal exchanges, the ameliorated policy would encourage yet more progress since, Eisenhower suggested, GIs would now be able to express their outrage to Germans about the horrors of the extermination camps. Few, one suspects, had either the language skills or the inclination to take up this opportunity. Rather than reflecting the success of denazification, the retreat from nonfraternization actually demonstrated how unworkable the hard-line policy had proven in practice.
Reporters greeted the end of the ban as tantamount to an order from Ike to copulate; at any rate, they announced that GIs had gleefully taken his "fraternization order" that way. Some officers agreed, infuriated that enlisted men were now quite openly consorting with German women in public. Indeed, according to Brigadier General Jack Whitelaw, it was impossible to go outdoors in Berlin without tripping over fraternizing couples: "Yesterday being Sunday, I took the afternoon off and went for a walk around the lake," he wrote to his wife on September 17, 1945. "The thing called fraternization is still going on there full blast; in fact, it's increasing and I've about decided that I must find some other form of exercise."
Whitelaw did not give up his perambulations around Berlin's Grunewald, but his attitude toward German civilians soon softened. By winter 1945, he and many other officers were more alarmed by the possibility of Germans starving or freezing to death than by no-longer illicit liaisons. Over time, American recollections of the occupation would also soften as Germans transformed from bitter foes to firm Cold War allies. Hollywood, meanwhile, turned postwar Germany into safe territory for squeaky-clean teens. In 1960, America's best-known soldier serving overseas, Elvis Presley, rued the unavailability of German girlfriends for lonesome American boys in GI Blues. Without any need for a formal ban on fraternization, chaste fräuleins apparently kept GIs at arm's length, issuing their own stern injunctions against inappropriate trespass. "They all wear signs saying 'Keepen Sie Off The Grass,'" Presley crooned regretfully in the title number. The wholesome Germany of GI Blues was a far cry from the days just after the war when American journalists decried the "unbearable availability" of German fräuleins, lamenting how swiftly VD had followed V-E. ✯

Canonical tags, also known as Rel Canonical; are a way of telling search engines that a URL is the main URL of a page with multiple copies. Using canonical tag avoids problems caused by the duplicated content appearing on multiple URLs. In its simplest terms, the canonical tag tells search engines which version of a URL you want to appear on search engine result pages.
The highlighted line with red lines indicates that any page where this tag appears should be treated as a copy of the specified URL.
What is the importance of canonicalization?
Duplicate contents are very important and complex subject, but when a search engines finds a replica or similar content, it can cause a number of SEO problems.
The first problem is search engines can crawl a number of content at their visit of the website. That means while they are crawling the website, instead of reaching some of your unique content, they only reach the duplicate ones.
The second issue is, repetitive content can cause search engines to choose the wrong URL as "original".
By using canonicalization, you can overcome all of this.
URL issues
"Why do they make duplicates?" This can lead you to a wrong idea that canonicalization is not very important. As humans, we will not see the same pages, like computers. When we open a web page if the content and structure are same this will count to us as the same page. We will not mind URL differences, but for search engines, each page will be marked as a separate page.
If we will give an example, you can reach your websites +main page in the following ways:
- I http://www.sample.com
- I https://www.sample.com
- I http://sample.com
- http://sample.com/index.php
- http://sample.com/index.php?refer=facebook
For a person, these URLs all represent a single page. But for a search engine, each of these are a separate pages, and as a result of that, you may even see 5 different copies of your main page at search engines. This will also affect your websites SEO quality negatively.
Modern Content Management Systems (wordpress,joomla,drupal and etc) makes this problem even worse. Many sites automatically add tags, allow multiple URLs for the same content, and add many other URL parameters. For these reasons, thousands of URLs can be found on your site, and you will not even notice it.
Best canonical tag applications
Repeated content can be extremely annoying, but there are some important points that you should take care about while using canonical tags:
1. Canonical tags can point to itself
It's nice if a canonical tag points to a valid URL. In another expression; This is normal if the A, B, and C URLs are duplicates of each other and the canonical tag A points to the A URL. It may seem a bit confusing, but it is normal and no problem to use it.
2. Proactively canonicalize your homepage
Homepage duplicates are very common and also you should consider that your users can link it too. It is operation which you cannot always control, as a result of that many unpredictable problems can occur. To avoid this, it would be a good idea to put a canonical tag on your homepage template.
3. Check dynamic canonical TAGs at random
The use of bad codes can sometimes result in a different canonical tag for each version of a site's URL. That's why you should always check your URLs. You should do this especially for e-commerce and CMS-focused sites.
4. Do not give mixed signals
Submitting complicated signals can cause search engines to prevent or misinterpret a canonical tag. In another expression; do not canonicalize page A to B, then B to A again. Or, similarly, do not canonicalize page A again with B and then page B with 301 redirects. It is also not a good idea to chain the canonical tag (A -> B, B -> C, C -> D). So send out clear signals and do not let search engines make bad choices.
5. Do not do recursion-like canonicalize operations
Most people think about duplication content while doing canonicalize. However, it is also possible to do this on pages that have very similar content when they are canonicalized. So be careful. There are many discussions on this subject, but there is no problem with currency, location, or small product pages that are very similar. But if the non-canonical versions of these pages are not suitable for sorting, or if the pages are very different, search engines can ignore the tag.
6. Canonicalize domain-to-domain iterations
If you are managing 2 sites at once, you can also use canonical tags between domain names. Let's say you are a person or company that publishes the same article or news on 4 different sites. With the Canonical tag, you can collect all sorting power on only one site. Remember that when you do the canonicalize operation, the ordering of other sites will be blocked. So you have to make sure that it has the advantage to do this or not.
7. Canonical Tags vs 301 Referrals
This benchmarking is one of the most common SEO curiosity. But this is a fraudulent question, these two have different advantages in their aspect of view.
For example, if you navigate page A with page 301 page 301 redirects, your page is automatically moved to page B and you can not see page A at all. As another solution, you associate a page A -> B with a canonical tag, the search engines will target B but people will also be able to visit both URLs. You should choose which option is right for you.
We hope this helps a bit 🙂

The product is totally Made in Italy, we work with British suppliers but the package is produced and shipped from Italy.
In order to guarantee a competitive price, we rely on the professional services of Poste Italiane.
In particular, we use three different services:
1) Standard Post – Free
2) Priority 1 Post – 3,00 €
3) Recommended Mail 1 – 6,50 €
1) Free shipping is done by standard posting of Poste Italiane and delivery times vary up to 10 working days (excluding Sat and Sun) from shipment.
We are not responsible for any missed deliveries, nor are we able to provide tracking because this service is not available for standard shipping. We invite our customers to write us an email or contact us on our official Facebook page in case of no reception and 10 working days after shipment, LOVE HOGWARTS will commit to reprinting the product (exactly as it was ordered, without adding vivid changes such as the name of the letter) free of charge.
The shipment will be made at our expense using the POSTA 1 PRIORITARIA method. If the second shipment does not go well, we will proceed to a third shipment with RECOMMENDED POSITION1 at our expense. If the reason for the reception is due to a customer communication error, the additional shipment will be charged to the customer.
2) Postage 1 Priority: is a service made available by Poste Italiane and guarantees delivery from 1 day to a maximum of 4 working days (excluding Sat and Sun) from the following day to the acceptance of the package.
However, in average, the timing is 3 days. This shipping method allows partial parsing of the letter, which means that you can only check the delivery outcome. Tracking is not released automatically to each customer but can be requested directly by mail or via FB's official page. In case of no reception, after 4 working days after the date of acceptance by Poste Italiane, LOVE HOGWARTS will undertake to reprint the product and make a new shipment at its own with the RECOMMENDED POST service 1. The product will be reprinted exactly as it has been ordered, without adding remarkable changes, such as the name of the letter.
If the reason for the reception is due to a customer communication error, the additional shipment will be charged to the customer.
3) Recommended Mail 1: is a service made available by Poste Italiane and is 100% guaranteed either because it is legally valid and because it guarantees delivery to the recipient or its delegate within one business day following the shipment (result reached 94.0% of shipments in the first half of 2016). It is fully traceable (from shipment to delivery), it is more effective thanks to the double delivery attempt, it offers free standing for 15 days at the post office of reference. If no reception is received, within 2 business days after the date of acceptance by the post office, I LOVE HOGWARTS will endeavor to reprint the product (exactly as it was ordered, without adding remarkable changes, such as the name of the letter) to free of charge, and will proceed to a SEND BY THE INSURED POST service, at its own expense. If the reason for the reception is due to a customer communication error, the additional shipment will be charged to the customer.
The product is produced no later than one business day (excluding Sat and Sun) from receipt of the order. Orders are generally processed on the very day of receipt, thus offering speed and timeliness in the release of the same. However, for special cases or for causes of force majeure, LOVE HOGWARTS reserves up to one business day to complete and dispatch the order.
Shipment takes place on the same day of processing. Please note that, generally, the acceptance of the bill by the post offices coincides with the next day to the SHIPMENT itself.
Particular example of a case-limit: we receive an order at 17 o'clock on Friday. The product is processed no later than Monday (one working day, excluding Sat and Sun), is sent on Monday at post office. Acceptance may take place on Tuesdays by mail, therefore the delivery delivery calculation starts on Tuesday and not Friday.

Squid are chameleons of the ocean, shifting effortlessly from hue to hue as they cross sand, coral and grass. Scientists have long studied the peculiar structures in their skin that interact with light, trying to understand how the animals change color so swiftly and with such precision.
Now, a paper published last week in Nature Communications suggests that their chromatophores, previously thought to be mainly pockets of pigment embedded in their skin, are also equipped with tiny reflectors made of proteins. These reflectors aid the squid to produce such a wide array of colors, including iridescent greens and blues, within a second of passing in front of a new background. The research reveals that by using tricks found in other parts of the animal kingdom — like shimmering butterflies and peacocks — squid are able to combine multiple approaches to produce their vivid camouflage.
The researchers studied Doryteuthis pealeii, or the longfin squid, which is found in the North Atlantic Ocean and might turn up on your plate when you order calamari.
[Like the Science Times page on Facebook. | Sign up for the Science Times newsletter.]
Its chromatophores contain individual sacs of yellow, red or brown pigment. Each one is also ringed with small muscles that allow the animal to clench shut or open wide each chromatophore. That means that in front of brown sea grass, for example, red and yellow chromatophores might cinch closed, allowing the brown pigments to show.
But what is the source of all those vivid blues and greens that squid are known to display? Researchers had long imagined that the layer below the chromatophores in the squid's skin might be responsible for those pyrotechnic shimmers. That underlayer is essentially an enormous reflector, made of cells that make a protein called reflectin.
However, that layer responds to changes too slowly to be the sole source of those colors, said Leila Deravi, a professor of chemistry at Northeastern University and an author of the new paper.
In search of answers, she and her collaborators at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and elsewhere put squid skin under the microscope and saw something reflective on the surface of the chromatophores. As they moved a beam of light to shine at different angles off the skin, the round blobs of yellow, red and brown pigment lit up like Christmas trees.
"We saw a really bright, metallic-y kind of color associated with the chromatophores," said Dr. Deravi. "And at different angles we could see blue-greens come out, we could see just the whole spectrum of color emerge."
Analyzing the proteins that the chromatophore cells were making, the team realized that reflectin was among them, and they confirmed with further lab work that it was distributed around the surface of the chromatophores.
Light strikes arrays of reflectin, bounces around and refracts out, producing colors. The same kind of interaction, called structural color, produces the blue of a morpho butterfly's wings, a peacock's tail father or a blue human eye.
Pigments, by contrast, like the one behind brown eyes, are small molecules that simply absorb some colors of light and release others. These are fundamentally different ways of making color. But squid have the benefit of both.
The squid control the movement of the reflectin that is on the outside of the chromatophores with the same movements that control the opening and closing of the structure's mouth, manipulating both kinds of color simultaneously. With this intimate connection between the two, "these cephalopods have evolved a way to help them become one of the fastest camouflaging species on the planet," Dr. Deravi said.
The shimmering, shifting surface of the squid's skin may someday provide insights for new materials that use the same tricks. But how exactly the squid matches its perception of its environment to its appearance using the precise manipulation of thousands of structures all over its skin is still a subject of much research.
"We were always continuously surprised by these animals. As soon as you think you kind of understand how they work, you find something else," Dr. Deravi said.

The Jolly Roger, formerly known as the Jewel of the Realm, is the ship on which Captain Hook and his pirate crew took refuge for many years. It is carved from enchanted wood, and is therefore the fastest ship in all the realms.
Before the Curse
The Jolly Roger sails to Neverland. ("The Crocodile")
Killian Jones and his crew sail the Jolly Roger into the docks of a small village in the Enchanted Forest while they stop off for a drink in a local tavern. When there, Killian meets Milah, and takes her with him on the Jolly Roger. Rumple visits the Jolly Roger to get his wife back, but ends up leaving empty handed. Many years later, the crew return to the village on their ship again, and Milah, now a member of the crew, ends up being murdered by Rumplestiltskin, who is now the Dark One. Killian also loses his left hand, and puts a hook in its place, giving him the title Captain Hook. The crew then sail the Jolly Roger into a portal, that takes them to Neverland. ("The Crocodile") An unknown amount of time later, as Hook sails with his crew around the island of Neverland, they come across a young boy in the night waters so they fish him out of the water, rescuing him. ("Second Star to the Right") Over the course of an unknown amount of time, the young boy that Hook rescued, Baelfire, becomes an honorary member of the crew, and Hook even protects him when the Lost Boys ambush the ship the find him. Hook bonds with Bae by teaching him how to sail the ship, however, after an argument, Hook turns the boy over to the Lost Boys, who visit the ship to collect him. ("And Straight on 'Til Morning")
After the Curse
Season 2
The Jolly Roger arrives in Storybrooke. ("Queen of Hearts")
After returning from Neverland, Hook finds himself in the Enchanted Forest, trying to find a way to Storybrooke with Cora so he can get revenge on Rumplestiltskin. They use a magic bean to create a portal at Lake Nostos, and they both sail the Jolly Roger through it to the small town in Maine. ("Queen of Hearts") When they arrive at the docks, Cora cloaks the Jolly Roger with a spell so nobody can see it. Later on, the two villains use the ship as a place to hide their captive, Jiminy Cricket. ("The Cricket Game") Belle uses her intellectual abilities to track down the Jolly Roger, and she eventually discovers it when she notices seagulls perched on something invisible. She searches the Jolly Roger for a shawl that Hook stole, but ends up finding Jiminy, so she releases him. Hook takes Belle captive but Rumple eventually arrives and attacks the pirate, telling him to sail away from Storybrooke, however, he chooses to stay and shoots Belle in revenge. ("The Outsider") It is revealed that Anton the giant has been kept as a prisoner on the Jolly Roger, brought to Storybrooke by Cora, who intended to cause havoc. ("Tiny") A while later, when Rumple, Emma, and Henry go to New York to find Baelfire, Hook follows them on the Jolly Roger and eventually stabs Rumple. Rumple, Emma, Henry and Bae decide to sail the Jolly Roger back to Storybrooke to return quicker to save Rumple. ("The Queen is Dead") On the way, Bae teaches Henry how to sail, having been taught by Hook previously. ("The Miller's Daughter") When Storybrooke becomes endangered by Greg and Tamara, Hook intends to sail away on the Jolly Roger, leaving everyone behind to die, however, he has a change of heart and returns, only to discover Henry has been taken to Neverland. He, Rumple, Emma, Snow, Charming and Regina then all team together and sail the Jolly Roger to Neverland via a magic portal. ("And Straight on 'Til Morning")
Season 3
The Jolly Roger flies home. ("Save Henry")
Upon arrival in Neverland, Hook sails the Jolly Roger slowly to the island in order to not be seen. However, on their way, a group of mermaids attack the ship. When one of them is killed, a storm arrives and large waves hit the ship, severely damaging it. They soon reach the island and Regina offers to fix it with her magic, but she is told to save her energy for upcoming battles. ("The Heart of the Truest Believer") After a week of trying to find Henry - Captain Hook, Regina, Emma, Rumplestiltskin, Snow and Charming successfully find him and rescue him from Peter Pan. However, they head back to the Jolly Roger with more people than they arrived with. During the journey, they promised to take home Tinker Bell, Wendy and the Lost Boys so they can all finally have a home. They use the Shadow, an inhabitant of Neverland, to turn the main sail into a magical sail that gives the ship the ability to fly. Hook then flies everyone back to Storybrooke. ("Save Henry")

Villa Road's highly anticipated 2017 wrap-up video is here, and man it's a doozy! On top of the expected clips from Woodyard, there's also footage from Leatherhead and the crew's trip to New Zealand. For a most radical viewing experience, grab yourself a beer, settle in on the couch and watch this on your TV if you can.
Tag: Toby Parker
Toby Parker – NZ 2017
I thought it was a pretty funny coincidence that minutes after reading an article on New Zealand's infrastructure being overloaded by the surge in tourism, I come across this edit from Toby Parker's trip down there. Sorry New Zealand, when your country has incredible scenery and sweet things such as the Gorge Road Jump Park, people are going to head there in flocks!
Bogey Trails 2016
The Bogey Trails have managed to grow quite the thriving scene in their two short years of legalized existence!
Toby Parker – Bogey Trails 2015
The Bogey Trails, Toby Parker, and David Lee Roth era Van Halen, those are the makings a kick ass edit if you ask me!
GetaBMX – 2015
GetaBMX's Milan Recknagel sure did do his fair share of getting around last year, as this 2015 highlights edit more than proves! Definitely not a bad way to get the week started, and it's also a pretty good source of inspiration for laying out some solid traveling plans for 2016.
Bogey Trails POV
Join Toby Parker as he takes you on a first person ride through a few laps at the Bogey Trails!
K-Hole Jam 2015 Part 2
Here we have the second installment of GetaBMX's K-Hole Jam edits. I was kind of curious as to how they were going to squeeze two edits out of one jam but Milan managed to pull it off. This edit is my favorite of the two though!
K-Hole Jam 2015 Part 1
GetaBMX has been coming through with some gems lately! Here's one from a spot that only pops up every so often, K-Hole. For a place that's pretty much out in the open, they keep it real dialed!
Bogey Trails Spring 15
It was just a few weeks ago that the Toby Parker and the rest of the Bogey Trails locals were taking their first laps of the season, and now the place looks like it's running at almost 100%. I'm real stoked on the little guy in here getting his first taste of trails. We definitely could use some more youngins in the trail scene.
Bogey Trails First Runs
A winter of hard work has paid off for Toby Parker because the Bogey Trails are already running. It actually seems like a lot of spots are running pretty early this year. On one hand I'm excited about that, on the other I'm starting to worry that we may be in for a dry one. You may want to start thinking about your water storage plans now!
