Memory Foam Mattress

Sleep deprivation has a number of negative effects on a person’s overall health. It causes health problems especially when it develops into chronic sleep disorder. Lack of sleep also affects one’s concentration and memory. A good mattress is important to have that comfortable sleep that you need. Choose a mattress that will help your body retain ideal sleeping posture and allow you to sleep comfortably. If you intend to purchase one online, you can look for memory foam mattress at your favorite online retailer.






Half-Staff Flag

Let us pay respects to the victims of the Connecticut school shooting. My heart goes out to everyone who was affected. Such a horrific tragedy.
Flying a flag at half-staff or half-mast is a sign for grief and mourning. It is flown following the death of certain government officials, in times of national distress, on various holidays, and at any other time it is instructed by the president or government.

Anthropology Tape

Continental Packaging has discovered a new and improved way to bring notice to a package. Continental has developed tape for the purpose of providing companies with an alternative way to wrap packages. Anthropologie tape comes in a variety of colors and designs and sure to match any business branding and color scheme. The tape is far removed from boring, old fashioned masking and mailing tape. Continental, with its unique tape, has found a new way of giving marketing and advertising an uptick in visibility.

Exposure is the bench mark that often determines if a business is successful or just struggling to compete with other companies. Anything that can bring about exposure for a business is a good thing, and packaging will bring about exposure as customers, and potential customers take notice.

Continental Packaging, located in Long Island, New York, has an in-house graphic art and design group to work with customers to develop a unique and attractive tape design to be used in packaging. The ink system used by Continental allows printing on a variety of tapes without using a releasing coating that is detrimental to the environment.

The tapes are water activated and made from recycled paper. Continental has a very generous inventory in place to allow quick turnaround time for customers. Continental also offers expedited service for customers who just cannot wait to receive their tape. Continental will print tape with a specific logo or help design an appropriate logo.
Continental offers a variety of tapes including printed adhesive, gummed, flatback, and poly, PVC, security and warning tapes, along with custom logo tape. Continental also offers anthropologie tape. Such tape has unique graphics and textures and makes a huge difference in packaging and overall presentation.

Anthropologie tape can be used for any kind of wrapping used in retail stores to deli counters. The tape provides a point of purchase aesthetics. Many retail stores are using decorative wrap and tape when wrapping items at the counter. The tape provides a little bit of fun and whimsy and is a unique take on the traditional shopping bag.
Anthropology tape can be customized to match any industry and provide the brand to make the parcel recognizable without seeing the label.

Find anthropologie tape at continentalpackaging.com, and check out the online order form. The graphics art department will send the customer a proof before printing any tape. Turnaround time is typically within two weeks from the day of proof approval.






7 Activities to do with your Husband (rather than watch TV)

If you and your husband have sat in front of the television every night this week, maybe you need to mix things up a little. It can do wonders for your relationship and your well-being. Here’s a great selection of activities for a good bit of bonding:
Play Online Games
There are so many online games out there that there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes. You and your partner might enjoy Massively Multiplayer role-playing games like World of Warcraft or something simpler like doing a crossword. Or you could use your combined wits to have a go at games that can win you money: online poker or blackjack for example. There are plenty of classic games to choose from on online casino sites.

Cook Together
This is a great way to share the burden of chores. If you end up cooking every night alone for your husband (and kids) then it can have a harmful effect on your relationship because you’re always the one having to come up with ideas. Try cooking together instead: set yourselves different tasks and then enjoy something you’ve both had a hand in making.

Go on a Bike Ride
A spot of light exercise can help relieve stress and bring you closer together. Having said that, it’s not much fun to cycle on the roads, so pick a nice spot like the local park or maybe there’s a waterway nearby. You can talk about your respective days at the same time and make plans.

Make Something Together
Give yourself a project to do that will benefit both of you. It could be as simple as making a present for a friend or family member, something crafty, or as complex as building a pizza oven in your back yard. A project that lasts several days and can then be used by you and those you love can bring you and you partner closer.
Write a Blog
If you have a shared hobby, whether it’s food, tech, or fashion, blogging can be a great outlet for your combined creativity. You can play with the latest gadgets then write reviews, post a recipe of a fantastic meal you made, or wear the latest trends and upload the photos.

Go Running
Running takes a bit less concentration than cycling and you can do it practically anywhere. It’s also easier to concentrate on talking about work, plans, and generally catching up (though you might get a bit breathless if you don’t run very often).

Massage
This can be a prelude to something a bit more adult, but can just be a great way to relax. Look at getting some quality massage oil and picking scents that each of you like. Watch a few YouTube videos for some good tips and enjoy!

Committed to Serving our Communities

Hubby got another United Way coin from his work today. USAA has been committed to helping members and the communities via United Way.
The History of the Coin
During World War I, a lieutenant in one American squadron proudly had medallions engraved with the squadron's emblem and gave one to each member of his group.

The lieutenant placed his medallion in a secure place, a small leather pouch carried on a chain around his neck.

While flying a mission, his aircraft was shot down by a German patrol. To discourage escape, his captors took his personal identification, all except for the pouch with the medallion. He was then taken to a small French village near the battlefront.

That night, he escaped but without his personal identification. He cautiously crossed the countryside and eventually came upon a French outpost. Unknown to him, the area had experienced many saboteurs, sometimes disguised as civilians. The American with strange accent immediately attracted attention as a possible saboteur. His French captors prepared to execute him. 

As he was being led away, he remembered his leather pouch and showed his would be executioners the medallion. They recognized the squadron insignia and were able to confirm his identity. Rather than being executed, he was recognized for his service and his courage. The medallion, now known as a coin, saved his life.
