WHITE RIVER JUNCTION -- They grew up together, went to grade school together and remained best friends into adulthood.

On Aug. 1, 2006, Matthew Stevens decided to throw a birthday party for his friend, Carl Ackley. They stocked up on booze and barbecue fixings and started drinking in the backyard of Stevens' trailer about 4 p.m.

Five hours later, police say, Stevens rushed into the trailer in South Reading, grabbed a .357-caliber Magnum from under a mattress and shot Ackley to death on the front steps of the trailer before tearfully admitting what he'd done in a 911 call.

'He's dead. I killed my best friend,' Stevens said on the tape-recorded call

The U.S. market for mattresses is primarily a replacement business, with consumers replacing old mattresses with newer ones. A number of forces and messages are converging on the consumer to reduce the time of the replacement cycle and to increase the price of the replacement. Innerspring mattresses have been the standard, but the industry is turning toward new materials and technologies such as foam, gel, and air chambers. These new mattress technologies are important, but what's also new is how companies have begun marketing - promoting the benefits of sleep rather than the mattress components. Noting that people spend one-third of their lives in bed, mattress company messages are using research on sleep, sleep deprivation, and consumer attitudes to incorporate mattresses into the refuge and sanctuary that consumers' bedrooms have become.

Although dominated by a few major companies, the U.S. mattress industry faces many dynamic issues, including regulation, competition from smaller companies and foreign manufacturers, environmental concerns, and the changing demographics of their consumers

mr mattress greenville sc as Attaining perfect harmony, balance in the bedroom

Unless you enjoy being sad and lonely, do not use these images in your bedroom.

Tchi adds that one should also take note of bed positions. Beds should be easily approachable from both sides. Feng shui also recommends to have two bedside tables (one on each side) and to avoid having the bed in a direct line with the door.

�A good looking and well-balanced bed is important in creating a perfect feng shui bedroom. Good mattress, solid headboard and high-quality sheets from natural fibers are likewise important in creating harmonious feng shui energy,� Tchi notes.

She also advises to keep all bedroom doors closed at night be it the closet doors, the en-suite bathroom door or the bedroom door as this will allow the best and most nourishing flow of energy to strengthen your physical health, as well as the health of your relationship.

It was great. Best night's sleep I'd had in years. And then, just as I was sure I'd found my Morpheus-sent Nirvana, I found the mattress developing a definite slump in the middle. Over the course of about six months, the slump grew - basically in inverse proportion to yours truly's midsection - and by the end of a year, I was sleeping in the equivalent of a ditch and trying to run off the beginnings of a middle-age gut.

I finally called the furniture place from whence I'd purchased said problematic mattress and complained

Vicky's daughter's bed had broken and she was sleeping on a mattress on the floor that was worn so badly the springs were exposed. Shortly thereafter, Vicky's son's bed broke, and he too had to sleep on a mattress on the floor. With Vicky's limited income, she was unable to purchase new beds

Home destroyed

Family escapes mobile home fire Tuesday
By PAUL STONE The Palestine Herald
Authorities believe a late morning fire Tuesday which destroyed a mobile home north of the Palestine city limits may have started due to a malfunctioning free-standing fan.Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor said sheriff's deputy John Wright was dispatched to a fire at a single-wide mobile home at 8267 CR 404, approximately 10 miles north of Palestine, at 11:41 a.m. Tuesday.The mobile home was insured by its owner, according to the sheriff, who said no one was injured as a result of the blaze.'A lady and her two children - a 2-year-old son and 8-month-old daughter - were home,' Taylor said. 'She (the mother) was in the house and heard the baby say, 'Hot.' She looked around and saw some flames coming from a mattress in the east bedroom.'She drug the mattress out of the house and put it out with a garden hose,' the sheriff added.The woman went back into the house to discover 'a free-standing fan/air purifier' on fire in the same bedroom, according to Taylor. She then 'threw the fan in the bathtub,' he added.By this time, the fire had spread to other areas of the home, according to Taylor.'She tried to put some of it out,' Taylor said. 'She finally had to get her kids and dogs and get out of the house.'The Montalba, Elmwood and Bradford volunteer fire departments responded to the fire.Taylor said a representative of the American Red Cross had been contacted to provide assistance for the displaced family.'What a horrible time of the year to lose your home,' Taylor said, 'but fortunately no one was hurt.'----Paul Stone may be contacted via e-mail at pstonepalestineherald.com

It sells those beds through company-owned stores, other stores, direct marketing and over the Internet.
The company has been zealous about protecting its trademarks, trade secrets and other assets; since 1996, the company has filed 20 suits against other manufacturers, individuals, retailers or others over issues connected to the nation's $7.6 billion-a-year mattress industry, the docket at the federal courthouse in Minneapolis shows.
For example, in April 2006, after officials with rival mattress maker Serta Inc. wrote to Select Comfort to complain about the company's use of the phrases 'The Key to a Perfect Night's Sleep' and 'The Gift of Perfect Sleep,' Select Comfort sued Serta. The company sought a declaratory judgment that the phrases did not infringe on Serta's phrases 'Perfect Sleeper' and 'Perfect Night.'
That case was settled out of court in March.

atomic foam mattress topper as Chief: Fire started on mattress

A Monday morning fire that damaged four row homes in Harrisburg and displaced a man and his son started on a mattress on the second floor of one of the homes, Harrisburg Fire Chief Don Konkle said today.

'We don't know if it was careless use of smoking materials or an electrical shortage,' he added.

The home, on the 1500 block of Berryhill Street, was vacant but fire officials and neighbors believe homeless people were staying there. The home did have electricity and a space heater was found near the mattress, Konkle said.

motionless water bed mattress as Stopping SIDS

There's many theories as to it's cause.But now, a New Zealand researcher claims he's put a stop to nearly all SIDS cases in his country, and he wants to help parents here do the same thing. Dr. Jim Sprott has a simple solution, that he says is 100 percent effective, and it lies in a baby's mattress. He recommends parents cover the mattress with a special wrap, and then layer it with cotton bedding.So far, there has not been a large study backing Sprott's theory. However, he claims his research, along with a British study, finds chemicals in a crib mattress can combine with a household fungus, causing a deadly nerve gas responsible for SIDS.Until a large study is conducted, the majority of the scientific community will not fully back Sprott's findings, however, many say his recommendations do not hurt a baby.Sprott says he takes no money from the bed covers he recommends, nor he says does he accept donations for his non-profit organization.For more information and to learn how to purchase the recommended covers, go to www.nomoresids.orgwww.babysake.com www.healthychild.com www.ecobaby.com www.dandelionsummers.com

moses basket mattress uk as Vandals shoot out Salt Lake City shop windows

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - A rush of vandalism has business owners angry...and poorer. Twice in the last 3-weeks their businesses have been hit. Drive-by shooters have put high velocity pellets into their windows. “Glass was piled up everywhere,” said Janese Cunningham, a manager at the Lazy Mattress Company who was called by police in the pre-dawn hours of Monday. “There goes another thousand dollars every time...It just adds up.” Carman Mancuso runs a religious gift and book store on State Street. Even with high deductibles he said, “It gets very expensive.” In fact some owners won’t even turn in a claim out of fear their insurance rates will go even higher. Cunningham’s first reaction when she saw the damage, “Thanks, there goes my Christmas bonus!” A dozen businesses around 21st South and State have been targeted. The shooters hit at night when there are few witnesses – if any. Police have swept the scenes for clues but haven’t even been able to find the pellets

Auden, The Rake's Progress' set circa the 1950s works. The set changes were sweepingly cinematic, switching from one place to the next as if edited in a movie, with a seamlessness we're not accustomed to seeing on stage -- much less, an opera stage. That derrick for instance, turns into a crane carrying a cameraman. And one moment we're in Texas, the nest we're on a Hollywood set. When Tom Rakewell, the titular rake, gets swallow via a heart-shape mattress along with a prostitute, it visually, and almost literally, makes the point that the naive young boy from the country is losing himself deep into deprivation. Brilliant.

We could recount many other ideas like these -- a trailer that inflates to match Tom's ego, an inhabited doll house under a giant moon, a scarf caught in the wind as Ann Trulove opens the top of her convertible, an Adonis doing a Greg Louganis impersonation, etc.-- but the visual experience are best viewed in person. And you'll be surprised, we guarantee it.

Musically, by the way, you won't be disappointed either

Ann,I get this question frequently from viewers with loved ones in another state or country. And sadly I have to tell everyone we have no way to sell you DVD's of the show. In that place where I'm Mayor and make all the rules everyone sends me wads of cash for box sets of the show and I sleep on a mattress made from hundred dollar bills which have been softened by repeated washing and drying. For now I sleep on a mattress I bought from a store that recently went out of business. Until my imaginary place becomes reality, you have to tape the shows yourself. One woman in Statesville used to tape the show and send them to her son stationed in Iraq. And he played Carolina Traveler for Iraqis being trained by our military to be policemen.

Firefighters douse Oxford fire

By Leslie H. Dixon , Staff Writer
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
OXFORD - Firefighters from four towns quickly knocked down a bedroom fire at a house on Allen Hill Road on Sunday night. No one was injured, but the smoke and fire, which was contained to a mattress in a bedroom, caused $8,000 to $10,000 in damage to the home owned by Bradley Edwards, fire Chief Scott Hunter said. It appears the fire started after a pillow fell onto a nearby burning candle, which in turn lit the mattress on fire, he said. Hunter said firefighters from Oxford, Norway, Paris and Mechanic Falls responded to 142 Allen Hill Road about 8:45 p.m., quickly extinguishing the blaze. The mutual aid response is standard in a structure fire, the chief explained. Neither Edwards nor another occupant were in the bedroom when the fire started, Hunter said

The Campus

Woodsman woke to a siren's cry shattering the gloom his surroundings - what seemed to be a bunk house with cots against the walls, stacked two-high, and long wooden benches ranged below. As his eyes adapted, he saw he was on a bottom cot, lying on a thin, cotton mattress that left both his legs and arms sprawling over the edge.

He tried to stand up and almost collapsed in pain. While Woodsman's body had great, initial, recuperative powers, especially in the case of a life-threatening injury, the ache of battle would often linger long after the encounter, as with any soldier. His great body had been sprawled not upon the mattress but likely over it, draped both top and bottom, compounding the misery of the previous night's attack with a case of restricted circulation. He sat quite still upon the bunk rubbing his cramping limbs and gathering his bearings. It was very close in the long bunkhouse, with only crude trap doors on hinges allowing air to circulate from the roof down. All around him, in the close heat of the interior's semi-gloom, other bunk occupants were quietly locating clothes and shoes

Last night's episode still revolved a great deal around Kitty's upcoming wedding, but Kevin's (Matthew Rhys) long simmering frustration with boyfriend Jason (Eric Winter) who is off in Malaysia and not bothering to call home (except to his brother) finally came to a head last night when Scotty (Luke Macfarlane) brought home some cater waiter leftovers including lobster and champagne. He might as well have just walked into Kevin's apartment, stripped off his clothes and pounced on him!

After eating their sumptuous, suggestive meal the two fell asleep together on the couch.

Upon waking, Scotty clearly realized there was something in the air and tried to get Kevin to go to bed while he inflated his air mattress. Kevin agreed and rose to exit stage left, but before he even got halfway up, spun around and he and Scotty lunged for each other.

The two parted awkwardly the next morning and, of course, Jason finally called that very afternoon. We see the start of the conversation, then Kevin closes the door and the scene cuts away

br/> Dr. Sears' Tips for Safe Co-Sleeping:
* Take precautions to prevent baby from rolling out of bed, even though it is unlikely to happen when baby is sleeping next to mother. Like heat-seeking missiles, babies automatically gravitate toward a warm body. Yet, to be safe, place baby between mother and a guardrail or push the mattress flush against the wall and position baby between mother and the wall. Guardrails enclosed with plastic mesh are safer than those with slats, which can entrap baby's limbs or head. Be sure the guardrail is flush against the mattress so there is no crevice that baby could sink into.

* Place baby adjacent to mother, rather than between mother and father

Generally, the memory foam density of a tempurpedic mattress is 5 lb. The difficulty in this is that while for some people 5 lb is too firm and tough, this is why mattresses with the density of 3 lb and 4 lb are introduced.

It is advisable to shop for tempurpedic mattress that has a density of 4 lb because the one that has a density lower than it would not last longer and are very soft. However, a memory foam mattress of 4 or 5 lb normally last for more than 10 years.

The HYPNOS 2008 Range Now At The Classic Bed Company

In ancient Greek mythology Hypnos was the God of sleep, he dwelt in a cavern surrounded by his sons who were the bringer of dreams. Today that legend lives on through the beautifully handcrafted HYPNOS beds, recipient of two Royal Warrants and now available online from The Classic Bed Company.

[ClickPress, Mon Nov 26 2007] With a philosophy of quality and natural comfort, the ultimate sleep range from HYPNOS builds in four generations of experience in the production of luxury pocket beds.

Martin Seeley, managing director of Classic Beds, said: �The selection of a bed should be about personal comfort and preference. We are often asked which mattress and style of bed is best and our response is that the perfect bed offers appropriate support for the spine. The HYPNOS range is a perfect example of this with a huge range of beds to suit all tastes and requirements.�

In 1988, Dr. Chris Idzikowski discovered that when someone changed from an uncomfortable bed to a more comfortable one, they could increase the average minutes they slept each night up to 42 minutes. This beats the amount of sleep produced by over the counter sleeping pills by 4 times. Since so much time is spent in bed (approximately 1/3 of life), it's imperative to find a bed that meets individual needs

Derek Nighbor, vice-president national affairs for the Retail Council of Canada, believes the price difference between Canada and U.S. stores has been exaggerated and when borders delays and the cost of travel are added, it's just not worth it.
Nighbor cites a recent CBC report for which a professional shopper was hired to buy goods in Montreal, then in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and found only a $50 difference in a basket of goods.
'I think a lot of customers have been conditioned to look for the best deal, it is part of being a savvy Canadian shopper, but right now I think there is a lot of confusion,' said Nighbor.
And when there is a real price difference, it exists for a reason, he added.
'It is totally more expensive to do business here than in the U.S

ONCE Upon A Mattress-a musical adaptation of the fairy tale classic The Princess and the Pea played to appreciative audiences at the Naparima Bowl, San Fernando and most likely, a star was born.

The production was staged by the Presentation College Mixed Choir under the musical direction of Cynthia Lee Mack, theatrical direction of Dexter Crawford and sported a cast of about 40.

Overall, the production was well executed by the cast of young thespians who managed to adequately portray the many nuances running throughout the text.

The casting choices were quite apt leading to the emergence of the star of the show Shenelle Jeanville who played the delightfully uncouth marshland princess Winnifred.

It was evident that Jeanville's near farcical portrayal of the character was one which could only be derived as a result of natural inclination

'You need to divide your time between debt and savings. If you neglect the savings, you put yourself further into the hole,' says Brian T. Jones, author of 'Getting Started: The Financial Guide for a Younger Generation' (Larstan Publishing, 2006). If you don't have liquid savings to fall back on when your car breaks down or your pet needs to see the vet, those bills are going to go on a credit card.

That doesn't mean you should stash emergency cash in a jar or under your mattress. Your best bet is to put it into an online savings account, which tends to yield more interest than what's offered by your local bank. Check out bankrate.com to find some of the best deals out there.

contrary to popular belief, a firm mattress may not necessarily be best for the back, new research suggests necessarily be best for the back, new research suggests.
Doctors have traditionally recommended hard beds for people with lower-back pain, but that advice has been based on scarce evidence.
Now the first substantial study has found that people who slept on medium mattresses were twice as likely to report an improvement as people using firm ones.
Experts said the study, published this week in The Lancet medical journal, doesn�t mean everyone would benefit from a medium mattress, and that trial and error is still the best way to choose. Anyway, there are no standardized gauges for the firmness of a mattress.
'This has been very poorly studied in the past,' said Dr

'As long as it doesn't leave the casino, you don't have to pay the taxes,' one buddy told me. His proof was that a friend of his employs this interesting strategy, so it has to be true. My other friend was equally insistent that this was a little known example of Internal Revenue Service largess.
Now, I only covered the federal courts and IRS criminal cases for several years so what do I know? But in those years I came away with the feeling that the IRS wasn't exactly the federal agency with a biggest heart. (That would be the U.S. Department of Free Air, Gravity and Good Wishes.)
In fact, I covered a case where a gullible gentleman had been told by some scam artists that paying federal taxes is voluntary and so he didn't have to do it. Before finding him guilty, a real sweetheart of a visiting federal judge known to occasionally bite off the heads of criminal defendants and spit them out into the hallway, leaned over the bench, glared at the poor guy and yelled, 'Yeah, paying taxes is voluntary! You volunteer to do it OR SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU!' He then sent the man to the slammer for two years.
So the idea that the IRS would let gamblers squirrel away their winnings in a casino seemed a tad too philanthropic to be true
