When your RV is your home away from home on road trips and vacations, finding a mattress that will provide a comfortable, restful night’s sleep and leave you feeling refreshed in the morning is a necessity. Your RV may have come equipped with a mattress, but it is likely thin and overly firm—not optimal for a high-quality overnight rest or a rejuvenating afternoon nap while on the go.
Shopping for the best RV mattress requires similar considerations to shopping for other mattresses. You need a product that suits your preferred sleep position, provides proper contouring and support, and regulates body temperature to ensure you stay cool and comfortable. However, some additional challenges come with choosing an RV mattress, notably the size constraints. Use this guide to discover some of the best RV mattresses on the market and determine which features are most important to you before making a purchase.
- BEST OVERALL: Brooklyn Wanderlust Memory Foam Mattress
- BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK: Best Price Mattress 6 Inch Memory Foam Mattress
- BEST LUXURY: Brooklyn Aurora Hybrid Mattress
- BEST MEMORY FOAM: Live and Sleep Ultra RV Mattress
- BEST HYBRID: Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Mattress
- BEST SHORT QUEEN: Linenspa 8 Inch Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid
- MOST COMFORTABLE: Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Queen Mattress
What to Consider When Choosing the Best RV Mattress
There is a multitude of options to choose from when shopping for the best RV mattress. Keep in mind the features outlined below to identify what is most important when selecting an RV mattress to ensure satisfaction for on-the-go resting and relaxing.
Selecting the most preferable type of mattress is one of the first items to consider. Some of the most common RV mattress types include:
- Hybrid mattresses feature both an innerspring layer and a foam or latex layer (or layers). The additional foam or latex allows them to better conform to each body for greater pressure relief than with a pure innerspring mattress. The pocketed coils in a hybrid mattress reduce motion transfer and also allow for sufficient airflow to keep individuals cooler as they sleep. A comfort layer is often designed using more breathable materials for temperature regulation.
- Innerspring mattresses are typically the most affordable option. They feature a coil support base for airflow and breathability and a thin comfort layer made from fiber, foam, or another padded material. However, the comfort layer is not as thick as on a hybrid mattress, so an innerspring mattress doesn’t offer as much contouring. Innerspring mattresses are often shorter than other mattress types, making them well suited for an RV.
- Foam mattresses are highly conforming to provide pressure-point relief. Memory foam mattresses and other foam options are sometimes infused with graphite, gel, or copper to prevent individuals from getting too hot as they sleep; foam that lacks these materials can trap heat. The increased flexibility of foam mattresses makes them easier to fit into tighter spaces in an RV.
- Airbed mattresses allow users to customize the firmness level to their preferred setting via an inflatable chamber. Some of these mattresses feature two chambers, so partners can each choose their own setting. However, this mattress type requires electricity and isn’t common in RVs.
In addition to the mattress type, consider the material used to make the mattress cover. Cotton and bamboo are popular options for breathability. Both of these materials allow for enhanced airflow and can wick away moisture from individuals as they sleep so they can remain cool.
It’s also important to think about how easy it will be to clean the mattress cover, especially when traveling. Some fabrics are stain-resistant, which could be a benefit for an RV trip.
Size and Weight
Next, consider the size and weight of the mattress. RV mattresses are often measured differently from standard mattresses. There can be multiple size options under the same name, such as an RV bunk mattress or an RV full mattress. Take care to accurately measure the available space for the mattress prior to purchase. Common RV mattress sizes include:
- RV bunk: 28 by 75 inches, 30 by 75 inches, 30 by 80 inches, 34 by 75 inches, and 35 by 79 inches
- RV twin: 38 by 75 inches, 38 by 80 inches, 39 by 75 inches, and 40 by 80 inches
- RV full: 53 by 75 inches, 54 by 75 inches, and 55 by 75 inches
- RV three-quarter: 48 by 75 inches and 48 by 80 inches
- RV short queen: 60 by 74 inches and 60 by 75 inches
- RV queen: 60 by 80 inches
- RV Olympic queen: 66 by 80 inches
- RV king: 72 by 75 inches and 72 by 80 inches
- RV California king: 72 by 84 inches
Look into the weight of the RV mattress as well. Moving the mattress into its space in the RV can be a challenge with a heavier mattress. Bunk mattresses will need to be lifted into place, which can be especially difficult if the mattress is too heavy. RVs also have an overall weight limit, so selecting a lighter mattress can contribute to staying below the weight limit after packing belongings for a trip.
Mattress firmness is rated on a 10-point scale. A firmness rating of 1 indicates the softest possible mattress, while a firmness rating of 10 indicates the firmest possible. The right firmness level for each individual largely depends on the preferred sleeping position. Bodyweight can also play a role in determining the right firmness level, as heavier individuals may opt for a slightly firmer mattress than their sleep position would generally indicate.
Individuals who prefer a soft mattress should select one with a firmness level between 1 and 3, though many people find that a firmness level of 1 or 2 is overly soft. These mattresses will be the most contouring and create a cradle-like feel around the body. A firm mattress has a firmness level between 7 and 10. Unlike soft mattresses, these options won’t offer very much contouring, but they will be more supportive.
A medium-range mattress, with a firmness level between 4 and 6, is a popular choice because it can usually accommodate all sleeping positions. These mattresses offer a balance of contouring and support and are often preferred by side, back, and stomach sleepers. They are also a good choice for bed partners who don’t agree on the ideal firmness level.
In relation to firmness level, the best RV mattress for on-the-go travel can also depend on an individual’s preferred sleeping position. Each position requires a different level of contouring and support to keep the spine aligned and provide pressure-point relief.
- Side sleepers typically prefer a soft mattress that can cradle and contour to their body to keep the spine aligned and relieve pressure on the shoulders and hips. A mattress with a firmness rating between 3 and 5 typically offers enough softness to allow shoulders and hips to sink into the mattress. Memory foam mattresses—or hybrid mattresses with a memory foam layer—are popular options for side sleepers because of their contouring abilities.
- Back sleepers usually need a mattress that is firmer than side sleepers would prefer. A mattress with a firmness rating of 6 or 7 typically offers the right amount of support and contouring to prevent heavier parts of the body from sinking too deep and moving the spine out of alignment.
- Stomach sleepers should look for an even firmer mattress than side or back sleepers. If a mattress is too soft, a stomach sleeper’s hips and lower back will sink much lower than the head and neck, placing the spine at an uncomfortable angle. Most stomach sleepers prefer a mattress with a firmness rating between 8 and 10.
Support and Pressure Relief
Finding a mattress that offers the right amount of support and relief from pressure points is important. Without proper support or pressure relief, it’s more difficult to feel comfortable enough to sleep, and waking up with pain or stiffness is more likely.
The location of pressure points can vary based on the preferred sleeping position. For example, pressure points for back sleepers are located along the back, while side sleepers experience the most pressure on the hips and shoulders. More supportive mattresses will help ensure body weight is evenly distributed across the mattress to aid in reducing pressure points.
A mattress with higher contouring properties—like foam, latex, and hybrid—is often the best choice for individuals looking for pressure-point relief. These mattresses conform to the body to remove pressure on the joints.
Individuals who tend to overheat when they sleep should consider a mattress with temperature-regulating capabilities. These mattresses feature special materials or design components that promote airflow or dissipate heat.
A cooling mattress has gel or activated charcoal infused into the foam material. Gel can absorb heat to ensure the foam layers remain cool, while charcoal has a naturally low temperature that prevents the foam from growing too warm.
Hybrid or innerspring mattresses are also options for individuals who grow too warm when they sleep. The coils in these mattresses allow for increased airflow and breathability.
Some mattress covers are specially designed with cooling materials to increase their breathability, such as phase change molecule (PCM) fabrics. These fabrics absorb heat to prevent individuals from growing too warm and can also release the heat back into the cover if they become too cool. Tencel is another cooling material found in some mattress covers; it wicks away moisture and is highly breathable.
Finally, consider the desired location of the RV mattress. Size restrictions may impact which mattresses will fit, and the best pick may also depend on whether the mattress is for a traditional RV, a pop-up camper, or another type of recreational vehicle. Also, think about the amount of clearance needed for a mattress in an overhead cab or a bunk bed, as a thinner mattress that maximizes space might be necessary.
Since RVs are usually short on space, also consider more portable and space-saving mattress types, such as foldable mattresses, futon mattresses, and rollaway beds. These options can be stowed when the RV is moving and pulled out at night for sleep.

FAQs About RV Mattresses
It’s possible to still experience high-quality sleep on the go with the best RV mattress. Consult several common questions below to learn more about RV mattresses.
Q. Can I use a regular mattress in an RV?
In some cases, a regular mattress can be used in an RV. However, standard mattresses often aren’t flexible or thin enough to slide into the allotted space. RV mattresses also typically offer different sizes than standard mattress sizes, so a regular mattress may not even fit in the bed frame.
Q. Are RV mattress sizes different?
Yes, RV mattresses are often—but not always—different sizes than standard residential mattresses. A king- or queen-size RV mattress is usually narrower or shorter than a king- or queen-size standard mattress. Always look at the dimensions to confirm whether the mattress will fit in the desired space.
Q. Do I need a topper for an RV mattress?
Mattress toppers are between 1 and 3 inches thick and can help make a mattress that is too firm or otherwise uncomfortable plusher and softer. In some rare cases, an RV mattress might be built into the frame. This would mean it couldn’t be replaced, so a topper may be the only option to improve comfort.

Audi has presented a limited-production version of it R8 sports car; the R8 GT. The output of its 5.2-liter V10 has been increased to 560hp; vehicle weight has been reduced by roughly 220.46 lb. The R8 GT accelerates from 0-62mph) in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 198.84mph.
The genes of the R8 LMS race version are now coming to the street in the R8 GT. The exclusive series is limited to 333 units. Each R8 GT has a badge with its production number on the shift knob.
Thanks to the ASF body, the production R8 5.2 FSI quattro weighs only 3,582.51 lb with quattro all-wheel drive and optional R tronic transmission. This made it all the more difficult for the engineers to achieve substantial weight savings. They took an elaborate approach involving every aspect of the vehicle, and in the end the scales came to rest at 3,362.05 lb.
The windshield of the R8 GT is made of thinner glass; the bulkhead between the passenger cell and engine compartment, as well as the window in the rear hatch are made of strong, lightweight polycarbonate. These three modifications saved 19.84 lb. The fixed rear wing is good for an additional 2.65 lb; thinner sheet metal and additional cutouts shaved 5.73 lb from the aluminum hatch.
The long rear hatch is made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) - an advantage of14.55 lb. The rear bumper and side blades of this same material save an additional 11.46 and 3.31 lb, respectively. With its minimal weight and extremely high strength, CFRP is the ideal material for a high-performance sports car.
The engineers also fought to shave every possible ounce of weight from the technical components of R8. They shaved 2.20 lb from the power brake system, 8.82 lb from the aluminum caps of the brake rotors and 20.72 lb from the battery. The engineers also found 5.07 lb in the air intake module and 6.17 lb in the insulation of the engine compartment.
The interior also harbored substantial weight-savings potential. The new, lightweight carpeting accounts for 17.42 lb; the bucket seats with a glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) chassis account for 69.45 lb. Numerous additional detailed measures targeted the interior, the exterior and the technology, such as higher-grade, lighter steel for the exhaust system's tailpipes.
The exterior underwent numerous modifications that further sharpened the appearance. Many of them also reduce the weight and enhance the aerodynamics. The R8 GT produces more downforce than the production model - without any increase in the Cd value (0.36).
The frame of the grille, its struts and the slats in the air intakes are finished in matte titanium gray; the grille is matte black. The splitter under the bumper has a double lip and is made of carbon. Slender, curved flicks at the corners of the nose increase the downforce on the front axle and are also a carbon fiber composite.
One highlight of the R8 GT is the standard LED headlights, which use light-emitting diodes for all functions. The daytime running lights each comprise 24 LEDs and appear as a continuous band. The reflectors are reminiscent of open mussel shells.
The defining element of the side view is the side blades, which direct air to the engine and are also made of matte carbon in the R8 GT. The same material is used for the smaller mirrors, which are mounted on an aluminum base. The 19-inch wheels feature an exclusive five twin-spoke Y design in a titanium-look finish. The front fenders sport "GT" badges.
The modifications to the rear of the car are particularly apparent, beginning with the fixed wing in matte carbon. The ventilation louvers on both sides of the rear hatch and the CFRP bumper, which integrates the large, round tailpipes and vents for the wheel wells, have been redesigned. The larger diffuser is made of carbon fiber composite; the license plate bezel and the wide slats at the rear are in matte titanium gray. The tail lights, which also use LED technology, have dark housings with panes of clear glass.
Audi offers the R8 GT in a choice of four body colors: Samoa Orange metallic, Suzuka Gray metallic, Ice Silver metallic and Phantom Black pearl effect
The modified V10, whose cylinder head covers are painted red, gives the Audi R8 GT breathtaking performance.
Changes to the engine electronics coaxed an additional power from the ten-cylinder, which now produces 560hp from a displacement of 5204 cc. The torque curve peaks at 398.28 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm, 7.38 lb-ft more than in the production version.
The V10 has a specific power output of 107.6 hp per liter displacement. Its power-to-weight ratio is 8.16 lb per 6.00 lb per hp. The engine redlines at 8,700rpm.
Gear changes in the R8 GT are handled by the R tronic sequential manual transmission. The electro-hydraulic clutch and switching unit receive their commands electronically.
quattro permanent all-wheel drive is the ideal technology for a high-performance sports car. The central viscous coupling located at the front differential sends 15 percent of the power to the front axle and 85 percent to the rear axle during normal driving. This split harmonizes perfectly with the Audi R8 GT's 43:57 percent weight distribution.
The 19-inch forged wheels are 8.5x19" up front and 11x19" at the rear, and are shod with size 235/35 and 295/30 tires, respectively. Audi will mount 305/30 tires together with optional wheels on the rear axle upon request. Cup tires, which offer the ultimate in performance on dry roads, are available for racing enthusiasts.
Audi mounts internally ventilated, carbon fiber ceramic brake rotors as standard. They are extremely durable and abrasion-resistant as well as particularly lightweight. Together they weigh 19.84 lb less than their steel counterparts of the same size. They measure 380mm (14.96 in) in diameter up front and 356mm (14.02 in) at the rear. The friction rings are bolted to the stainless steel caps via elastic elements. Red anodized aluminum brake calipers - with six pistons up front - are exclusive to the R8 GT.
The ESP stabilization program has been specially tuned to the R8 GT and can be switched into a Sport mode at the push of a button to allow spectacular, but safe, oversteer when accelerating out of a corner. The driver can deactivate the system entirely for a trip to the racetrack.
For the Audi R8 GT, which Audi will sell in Germany for ?193,000 (about $255, 628), the interior is adorned in sporty black and dark gray. The steering wheel, the headliner, roof posts, knee pad, parking-brake lever and bucket seats are covered in Alcantara accented with contrasting stitching. A synthetic sharkskin-look material that feels slightly rough to the touch is applied to the bulkhead, the door liners, instrument cowl and dashboard. The "monoposto" - the arch in the cockpit - is made of matte carbon.
The instrument cluster features white dials with "R8 GT" badges. The newly designed selector lever is made of CFRP and aluminum; the center tunnel and door liners sport decorative inlays in the body color. The door sills feature trims of matte aluminum decorated with the "R8 GT" logo.
A number of exclusive features are available as options for the R8 GT. Exterior options include two alternative wheels, a body-color front splitter and a CFRP engine compartment lining. Carbon elements on the doors, tunnel, in the cockpit and on the instrument panel are available as interior options. Others include a multifunction leather steering wheel, seat belts in red, orange or gray, floor mats with the "R8 GT" logo and CFRP door sill trims illuminated in red. If desired, Audi will fit seats with carbon frames, which are somewhat lighter than the CFRP shells. The Alcantara seat covers are optionally available with an embroidered "R8 GT" logo.
A race package is also available for racing enthusiasts. It includes a bolt-in roll-bar in red or black, which has both road- and type-approval, as well as road-approved four-point harness belts in red or black, a fire extinguisher and a kill-switch for the battery. An optional front bar module for motorsports events includes a rotary lock for the four-point seatbelt and turns the roll-bar into a full cage.
The specification and options listed are for European models. Variations for the US market have yet to be listed.

03 Jul Training A Reactive Dog – Loading the clicker
I’m going to devote this months post to beginner steps to training a reactive dog. I think any reactive dog can benefit from clicker training. Why? Because using a clicker lets a dog know when they’ve done something right and reward will follow. When you have a reactive dog everything happens so quickly, you dog can be staring, barking, lunging, huffing when they see another dog. It’s your job to catch him when he’s being good, particularly before he starts being reactive. It might be a split second when he turns and looks at you before he decides to bark. With a clicker you can be a lot faster at catching him in the act of being good and letting him know that he will be rewarded.
Let’s start by loading up the Clicker. It’s simple. Just click and treat. Do it 10-20 times. When your dog hears the click and turns and looks at your for a treat, you know that the clicker now has meaning and you are ready to start your training.

Hear Pusha T & Jay Z’s “Drug Dealers Anonymous”
UPDATE: It’s here. Stream it below.
Pusha T‘s first single off his long-awaited King Push is premiering tonight (May 31), and it’ll feature Jay Z. The recently minted G.O.O.D. Music president announced his team-up with the Tidal kingpin on Twitter, sharing the single artwork for “Drug Dealers Anonymous.” It’s the first single off the forthcoming album and, considering Jay’s involvement plus the fact that Tidal is tagged in the tweet, the song will probably launch as an exclusive on that platform.

What was up with the snowywoods poem we read today? Why doesn’t a person just keep going if he has so many miles to go before he sleeps?”
In Love that Dog, a one-person play adapted from the book by Sharon Creech, a young student ruminates on the confusing, pointless nature of poetry and the complete impossibility of a person writing their own poems. But, slowly, over the course of this 50 minute play, a young poet emerges with the help of a teacher, a pencil, some yellow paper, and, of course, a dog.

A SHORT REVIEW ON ASTAVARGA PLANTS- LOSING THEIR EXISTENCE
Ayurveda is a rich source of Indian traditional knowledge governing the rules and regulations of living a healthy and long life. It preaches a disciplined way of good eating habits, physical activities and following their regular routine. Any indiscipline in observing these practices would lead to various health disorders and exhibit symptoms accordingly. In ancient times, Rishis and traditional healers/ Vaidyas thought about some plants as gifts of God which possessed divine power in their various parts and could treat any type of symptomatic disorders. Astavarga is a formulation developed from eight different plants by Ashwani Kumars to treat the frail and emaciated body of Rishi Chyavan. This formulation created the magic of rejuvenating Chyavan and since then is referred to as still famous Chyavanprash. These eight plants were selected from different ecological niches of Himalayas. Over a period of time, the availability of some of these eight plants has become scarce and manufacturers of his formulation are using substitutes which put a question mark on the efficacy of this wonder drug. An effort has been made in this article made to gather information from different sources about these plants and establish their current status which throws light on the measures to be taken to improve their status.

Partners in close relationships often experience similar day-to-day emotions. However, little is known about whether emotional synchrony between partners is similar across marriages in different cultural contexts. We assess differences in levels of synchrony using daily diaries from 35 couples from the United States and 89 couples from India (41 in love marriages, 48 in arranged marriages). Results show group differences in levels of synchrony, with American couples showing greater synchrony than Indian couples. Somewhat surprisingly, synchrony of negative partner-induced emotions was associated with greater marital satisfaction across marriage types, while for Indian-love couples synchrony of positive partner-induced emotions was associated with decreased satisfaction. Finally, synchrony of both positive and negative partner-induced emotions was associated with higher closeness for Indian-love couples, but reduced closeness for American couples. These findings suggest synchrony may not have the same implications for couples' emotional functioning across marriage types.

What is the point of a vigil? Lots of people gather, they light candles, leave toys (and in the case of Steve Jobs there was chewed fruit) and they all hang about. Why? It’s not respect because most won’t have known the person. I can see that many users of shiny gear will have wanted to pay their respects in some way but it does seem an odd thing – especially chewed fruit. It looked cool enough that day in the news reports but later? And the days after? Why this need to go out at night with others and just mooch around while wax melts? Candles wouldn’t work so well in the day, I’ll give you that but really, why do this? Maybe it’s just the “done thing”.
People hold a vigil outside a US prison where someone is about to be executed and is 100% absolutely no shadow of a doubt bet your own life on it guilty. What on earth is the point of a vigil?
Random person dies in random place and random people appear at dusk holding candles. Weird. Especially if they died in the daytime. Or do vigils not happen 9-5 due to the needs of the economy?
Maybe there is some deeper meaning that I just don’t get. Maybe it’s some sort of collective guilt being assuaged by collective candle melting. And doesn’t the first person there feel just a little odd?


Today it is clear they celebrated too soon. Nixon's view of presidential powers, summed up in his infamous statement that, "when the president does it that means it is not illegal," is embraced by the majority of the political class. In fact, the last two presidents have abused their power in ways that would have made Nixon blush.
For example, Nixon's abuse of the Internal Revenue Service to persecute his political opponents was the subject of one of the articles of impeachment passed by the US House of Representatives. As bad as Nixon's abuse of the IRS was, he was hardly the first president to use the IRS this way, and the present administration seems to be continuing this tradition. The targeting of Tea Party groups has received the most attention, but it is not the only instance of the IRS harassing President Barack Obama's political opponents. For example, the IRS has demanded that one of my organizations, Campaign for Liberty, hand over information regarding its major donors.
Nixon's abuse of federal power to spy on his "enemies" was abhorrent, but Nixon's abuses of civil liberties pale in comparison to those of his successors. Today literally anyone in the world can be spied on, indefinitely detained, or placed on a presidential "kill list" based on nothing more than a presidential order.

Tropical Storm Blas has formed off of the west coast of Mexico. It is expected to stay offshore, becoming a hurricane later today before it encounters adverse conditions Friday and begins to decay. Other that some higher than normal waves shouldn’t be a problem. Elsewhere, two “invest” areas are being tracked by NHC, both near Central America. The GFS model shows the one off of Nicaragua (AL932022) moving across Belize/Yucatan perhaps reaching tropical storm strength. The outlook for one off of Costa Rica isn’t so clear, it will probably bring rains to the region but how organized it gets isn’t obvious yet. Here’s the map …
Some strong thunderstorms wandered through coastal Georgia yesterday, caused some scattered damage. The NWS Local Storms Report database shows quite a few trees down and power outages across the region …
The system off of the west coast of Mexico has been upgraded to a tropical depression as of 5am this morning, making it the second storm of the East Pacific season (EP022022). It will likely strengthen into a tropical storm and perhaps minimal hurricane as it skirts the coast, but conditions are not favorable for any more than that, and most of the damaging impacts should stay offshore with the main impact being waves. Elsewhere, NHC has a 30% probability area behind EP02, and has increased the five day formation odds for the blob in the western Caribbean to 40%.
Most of the world is quiet from a tropical standpoint. There are a couple of areas on the US National Hurricane Center’s five day outlook. The one with the highest potential is just off the west coast of Mexico. Here’s a quick look at the areas tagged in the outlook …
The system off of Mexico might spin up into a depression over the next couple of days. The main model runs keep it just offshore, some upwards of a Cat 1 or 2 hurricane, but the ensemble runs have a bit of a “squashed spider” look to them. Once a circulation forms the forecasts should stabilize. The other two areas aren’t anything to worry about for a few days.
With PTC1/Alex on the prowl I didn’t have a chance to comment on this, but the City of Savannah posted this photograph last week to signal the start of Pride Month. Notice anything? Yep. The Ukrainian Flag is backwards.
Sadly, ignorance/incompetence isn’t just limited to the City of Savannah … here’s a screen capture from a Pentagon briefing a week or so ago. The fact this briefing was for Defense Industry contractors looking to cash in on the $40 Billion windfall masquerading as aid puts this firmly in the “you can’t make this stuff up” realm …
The Savannah thing is absurd. The Progress Pride flag I understand (it’s a domestic policy issue, the City has an advocacy office and well known positions, etc.), but why is the City displaying the Ukrainian Flag? Did the City put together a policy justification for why the City Government, as representatives of the Citizens of Savannah, should be signalling its support for either side of this war? Does the Mayor, anyone on the City Council, or anyone in City Government have the necessary background and expertise to understand the situation, or are they just jumping on a popular bandwagon? And even if this was a carefully thought through policy, didn’t anybody bother to look up how to properly display the Ukrainian Flag? Ten seconds on Wikipedia would have done the trick. The blue band is on top if flown as a flag, and on the left if displayed as a banner.
As any reader of this blog knows, I strongly feel the situation in Ukraine is a tragic mess, one we bear significant responsibility for starting and inflaming. I think that sending weapons in to this conflict is dangerous, and ultimately causing more harm than good. Expressing support for the present Government of Ukraine by flying its flag is not as simple as some might think. I have to wonder if the Mayor of Savannah is aware of what senior officials of the Ukrainian Government have said about people of color (much less, given the Progress Pride flag now displayed in the rotunda, the LGBTQ community). Almost certainly not.
But that’s not really the point of this post. If you do feel that support of the Ukrainian Government is justified, at least fly their flag right side up.
As for the Pentagon, I don’t even know where to start. Whenever I have been involved in activities at this level annoying but essential protocol officers were scurrying around making sure flags were right side up, seating was correct, and that I didn’t cause yet another international incident by asking for ketchup at a state dinner thrown by the President of France like that first time. That the DoD official responsible for Ukraine didn’t instantly recognize the problem is simply unbelievable, and for the SECDEF to be seen surrounded by upside-down flags is a major national embarrassment.
This is sadly yet another symptom of how US Diplomacy has collapsed over the last thirty years. This 2020 RAND corporation study (link) describes elements of that decline, but I think there is a deeper problem with the overall level of education in the US, ignorance about the rest of the world, and the self-centered, “exceptionalist” view of that world. Fẹmi Akọmọlafẹ, a journalist from Ghana, wrote the following recently comparing the competence of foreign diplomats from the major powers:
Western officials, on the other hand, attack the world as haughty, naughty, ill-mannered, ill-educated, uncultured, provincial, and narcissistic imbeciles. They lack the elementary decorum necessary to engage peers in respectful manners. Ok, superciliousness, fueled by racist arrogance, might partly explain why they behave so, but we cannot discount the possibilities that they simply lack the education, the culture, and the home training required for civilized behavior, especially in encounters with other cultures. The question needs to be asked how the Collective West ended up with the current gaggle of clowns holding positions of responsibility? … It didn’t use to be like this. The West was once great. I should know; I studied there.
Harsh, but an interesting perspective. A key difference between the US and some major countries is that in the US the top levels of the State Department are political appointees. Having watched career US diplomats first hand, there are some fantastically knowledgeable people working in that field, able to balance US interests with an understanding of history and a concern for the legitimate interests of other peoples. But unfortunately that does not extend to political appointees, who by and large lack those skills and tend to view everything through the lens of domestic politics. It’s a complex problem (yeah, I say that a lot), and one a serious President and Congress would try to address and find a better balance between political accountability, the ability of a President to direct foreign policy, the long term interests of the US, and the essential skills, knowledge, and experience that only comes from years – even decades – of experience.
PS – Please don’t use this space to debate the Progress Pride or Pride flags and domestic policy issues. Such posts will be deleted unless they are respectful and relevant to the Ukraine/Foreign Policy realms.
Tropical Storm Alex (formerly Potential Tropical Cyclone One) is passing Bermuda today, causing some wind and rain but shouldn’t be anything bad unless something breaks that shouldn’t. Alex is already losing what tropical characteristic it had, and will be absorbed into the wider north Atlantic weather by mid-week. Here is the impact swath (winds over 40mph, the point at which you start to see big tree limbs break), probably a bit exaggerated due to the disorganized nature of the storm.
Potential Tropical Cyclone One finally became organized enough for the US National Hurricane Center to declare it a Tropical Storm Alex. Alex is well offshore now, with the last few showers departing The Bahamas, and looks to pass north of Bermuda tomorrow (Monday 6 June), still as a tropical storm but more than likely already transitioning to an extra-tropical system. Here is Alex as the sun rises over the Atlantic …
PTC1/Alex was never really a traditional tropical storm, and in past years would not likely have been tracked. This presents a dilemma for those trying to figure out if hurricane climatology is changing. Better technology and changing criteria for tracking and warning means comparing 2022 with 2000, much less 1970, 1950, or 1920, is a major challenge. NOAA has been trying to do a reanalysis of the “satellite era” to try to identify tropical systems that were not in the data bases, and found 14 in the five years from 1966 to 1970. This is a major reason why you should be very careful when people say this or that weather system, or changing numbers, is due to climate change. In many cases we just don’t have the data to say. Now, that’s not an excuse to do nothing about human impacts on the environment (not to mention the many related resource and socioeconomic issues that are convoluted with this problem), but it does show it’s not simple or straightforward.
Potential Tropical Cyclone One is still an unrealized potential, and shows no signs of organization before the associated mess of rain squalls moves past Florida. Here is what it looks like on InfraRed satellite (the sun isn’t up yet as I write this):
There are actually several “centers” depending on how you define that, including the small convection-free swirl of clouds you can see in the center of the image. NHC thinks this mess will consolidate into a single center once it moves past Florida and The Bahamas, but they are off the hook for a real tropical storm. That doesn’t mean that some rain squalls with tropical storm force winds won’t pass by this morning, but more like the typical summer downpours and thunderstorms than a real tropical storm.
For being such a disorganized mess the track models and forecasts are remarkably consistent, taking it out parallel to the US Southeast coast towards Bermuda. There is still a chance that this will develop briefly in to Tropical Storm Alex before it gets there, but it will likely be short lived before conditions deteriorate and it becomes extratropical.
So far Potential Tropical Cyclone One can’t get it’s act together. It’s a very broad and disorganized system, and all of the rain and wind is displaced far to the east of the center, here from GOES East just before 5pm …
Here is the regional radar composite – Florida is getting a lot of rain already. It may well be that the rain will be ending before the storm itself actually passes over the state!
Elsewhere, just off the US east coast there is an area NHC is watching, but chances of development are small, and if something does spin up it seems at worst it would give Bermuda a windy day before moving out to sea.
Potential Tropical Cyclone One is a large, disorganized system that is producing tropical storm force winds, but technically isn’t a tropical storm (more on that later). In terms of impacts, it should just be some wind and rain – here are NHC’s Key Messages regarding Potential Tropical Cyclone One. As a reminder, once a storm forms the “Key Messages” product is a nice summary of watches, warnings, and forecast. Here is my TAOS/TC impact estimate based on the 5am forecast. Bottom line is windy/rainy weekend for Cuba, south Florida and the northern islands of The Bahamas, minimal damage other than some trees down, scattered power outages, very scattered roof damage, that sort of thing. Economic impact should be transitory, under $100 million, and recovered quickly. Elsewhere the storm may cause rip currents along the Southeastern US coast next week.
So what the heck is a “Potential Tropical Cyclone”? In the past these kinds of storms were not tracked and reported by the Hurricane Center until they met the formal criteria for being a tropical storm. That would mean a distinct (from other systems) warm core, closed circulation. The problem is that in some conditions a tropical storm can form from an otherwise disorganized disturbance before the system crosses land, and less than the normal time frame when watches are issued. This became more of an issue in 2010 when the lead time for a watch was increased from 36 to 48 hours, and a warning form 24 to 36 hours, and more storms were forming withing those time frames and people were not getting as much notice. So in order to give people warning and time to prepare, NHC starts advisories as a “Potential Tropical Cyclone” on systems that are forecast to become actual tropical systems. So like a lot of things in tropical meteorology, it’s a mix of actual meteorology, administrative issues, and emergency management needs.
Although still not well organized, and not in a great environment for development, the system off of Yucatan continues to move slowly northeast. Since it has a good potential to become at least a tropical depression or low end tropical storm, the hurricane center will likely start advisories and post watches later today as at least a “potential tropical cyclone.” At the moment the models aren’t terribly enthusiastic about the system, most keeping it at minimal tropical storm strength. Here is what the US GFS model shows for Saturday Morning at 8am, a disorganized minimal tropical storm …
Some of the models don’t even form a coherent system (just a broad area of disturbed weather). In the map above you can see two distinct “centers” (the “L” symbols), indicating a very disorganized system. Here is what some of the models are showing as tracks, for a disorganized mess they are actually fairly consistent …
Other than a lot of rain it’s not likely this storm will get organized enough to produce significantly damaging winds. Unless you’re just unlucky and a tree falls on your house, or something breaks that shouldn’t, this should be just a rain event for Cuba, Florida and The Bahamas. For the Southeastern US (Georgia and Florida), an approaching cold front that will bring rain Friday and early Saturday will have moved past, and the system (tropical storm or not) should stay far enough away to not cause any impacts other than perhaps waves and a risk of rip tides at the beach.

We have recently seen a large increase in demand for our take down bolt action rifles, which in a way does not come as a surprise to me. For many years people considered and argued that having an easily removed barrel would make for an inherently inaccurate rifle due to not being able to breech up the barrel tightly. In practise, in the hunting field, this has not proved to be the case. The benefits realised by ease of transport in these day's of difficult airline handling, seem to have far outweighed the negative arguments on accuracy.


At a Glance
Emory University’s innovative, ecologically engineered water reclamation system reduces campus potable water consumption by as much as 35%.
When it comes to the sustainable use of water, Emory University in Atlanta, GA is at the forefront. It’s WaterHub®, designed by Sustainable Water, is an ecological treatment facility designed to collect and treat between 200,000 and 400,000 gallons per day of campus wastewater for non-potable reuse on campus. Once treated, reclaimed water is reused as process make-up at three central chiller plants and the campus steam plant, for irrigation of campus landscaping, and for toilet flushing at select dormitories–all compliant with stringent Georgia regulations. The hydroponic treatment system relies on complex adaptive ecosystems to break down nutrients and pollutants in water. The robust ecological treatment process produces a very high quality effluent that meets all federal, state and local regulations while consuming very little energy. Flexible site integration, a compact footprint and a green aesthetic also complement Emory’s campus and sustainability goals. Even the facility housing the system enhances the university’s water management, as it displaces previously existing impervious surface and harvests rainwater on-site for reuse.
Biohabitats coordinated and supervised commissioning of the treatment and reuse facility, ensuring that the system functioned as designed. The Biohabitats team managed the assembly of all operations and manuals and operator training. Biohabitats also managed the procurement and installation of all plants for the system.
The first water reclamation system of its kind, WaterHub® earned a 2018 Campus Sustainability Achievement Award from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. It not only serves as a model for water conservation, it also provides the university with unique opportunities for research and scholarship.

For a girl, her honeymoon is very special and something which she will cherish forever. And it the dream of every husband to take his bride to a place that would most resemble her fantasies. There are many beautiful locations on earth but California is perhaps one of those places where the beauty of place and the modern amenities go hand in hand, without anyone interfering with the other. California is especially favored by those tourists and couples who love the waves and the warm weather and where romance is synonymous with long walks on the beaches and a swim together in the warm waters. There are glamorous cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco and the serenity of the coastal mountains as well. If this is your idea of a perfect honeymoon then you should head for California.
Among the most famous architectural buildings in California, there is the Cathedral Basilica of San Jose and the Mission San Diego. If you are planning a trip to Beverly Hills, be sure not to miss the Farmer’s Market which has so many quaint delicacies and craftwork to offer. It is held outdoors once every week and tourists from all around comes in. this place is also famous for its luxury hotels which have special arrangements for the honeymooning couples. There are also the famous movie studios to be visited and the evenings would be as glamorous as you can imagine.
If it is the beaches that you and your partner prefer, then head for San Diego. Undoubtedly, it probably has the best climate in this part of US. The waters are warm and the beaches are breathtaking to say the least. The cuisine here comprises manly of sea food, and not just local but even international chains have outlets here, which means that you can indulge in the most exotic and mouth watering food form around the world. The San Diego Zoo and the Sea World will surely make you want to go back for a second trip. The hotels here are very posh and comfortable whereas for shopping you can visit the designer boutiques which churn out one classic outfit after another.

The multi-million rand upgrade of the Freedom Park informal settlement in Ottery is progressing well and residents are overjoyed that they’ll soon be able to move into their new homes. However, concerns have been raised about the temporary relocation.
The Upgrading Informal Settlements Programme (UISP) planning and land use processes were completed and construction of civil and electrical engineering services started in February – some of the roads and infrastructure are already visible at the site.
If all goes according to plan construction is expected to be completed by the end of October this year with a projected cost of R24.6 million.
As part of the process, residents will be moved into containers while their structures are demolished to make way for their new homes to be built according to UISP standards.
The relocation is well understood and accepted by residents but they are concerned that the families – some who are more than 10 in one household – will be moved to a 3×6 meter container.
Freedom Park committee member and long-time resident Dennis Buggs said he had waited nearly 30 years for a proper home after many winters in wet and flooded conditions at the settlement.
Mr Buggs took the Southern Mail through the home he shares with his wife, children and grandchildren – their kitchen alone is 3×6 meters.
“We are 10 people and we will not be able to fit in the containers the City is offering us. Besides us, our furniture, clothes and all our other things have to be moved and kept safe too. The containers they are offering just aren’t (big) enough and we are very worried.”
He said the community were grateful for the much needed upgrade and welcomed the steps the City had taken to offer better homes for them as many of the homes at the settlement were delapidated.
“We appreciate what is being done for us as the community of Freedom Park because our people are struggling and our structures are rotting and falling apart,” said Mr Buggs.
“We have been waiting for years for this – all we ask is that the City take our concerns into consideration and accommodate us with our large families and to be able to protect the furniture and assets we worked so hard to secure over the years.”
He recommended a 6×9 meter container for the families and all their assets.
Another committee member, Mervyn Jumat, said there had been numerous complaints from other residents about the prospect of multiple family members being crammed into one 3×6 meter space.
“I’m concerned that the City might halt the proceedings if we complain about this. We have waited so long for the upgrade, I don’t want anything to delay the process, so yes I understand the concerns but I wan’t the work to continue and not for us to get distracted before the construction work starts.”
Malusi Booi, the City’s Mayco member for human settlements, said the construction had started with minimal disturbance to the residents of the informal settlement. “To complete the balance of the internal civil engineering infrastructure related to the project, unfortunately temporary relocations will be required.”
He added that the intended relocation was purely to move families away from where new infrastructure needed to be installed. The first relocation, he said, was expected to take place in September.
“It’s likely that the third wave of Covid-19 will have passed us by then, with lockdown levels reduced.
“Relocations will be carried out in a responsible manner with the issues having been resolved.”
Asked if there would be any alternatives for bigger families, Mr Booi said they were aware of the contention about the family size issues and would look into alternative ways to best resolve the issues which would be dealt with on a case to case basis.
“Due to the temporary nature of the relocation, the size of the top structure offered was minimal to best fit all beneficiaries in the limited available project space for a short period before their final relocation onto more spacious formal service sites. Further engagements are ongoing to address this.”

The estimated net worth of Nicole Curtis is $8 million.
She is a licensed real estate agent and is best known as a TV personality on the show "Rehab Addict." The show follows her exploits as she finds homes set to be demolished and rehabs them before listing them for sale.
Coming up next
The Early Life of Nicole Curtis
Nichole was born in 1976 in Michigan. She spends the majority of her life in Orion along with her parents and her brother Curtis. She was interested in show business from an early age. While her parents focused on their garbage business, she pursued a hobby of acting while also focusing on her schoolwork.
Nicole Curtis’s Education
Nichole attended Lake Orion High school from which she graduated in 1994. Following her graduation, she attended college in Georgia, Florida. Additionally, she also took interior designs courses to help further her career in the rehab and real-estate industry. For the most part, she is self-educated in the real estate and rehab space.
How did Nicole Curtis build their net worth?
Nicole Curtis is worth $8 million dollars. While this may seem like moderate net worth, it is worth knowing how she came about her fortune.
Nicole started out her work life as a waitress at Hooters. During her time there, she never stopped pursuing other options. She started finding houses to rehab in her spare time and taught herself the basic elements of design and renovation. After becoming a home rehab specialist of her own, she started advocating for communities to rebuild and refurbish instead of tearing down homes that feature a touch of history.
In 1990 she got her chance to take her efforts and her ideas to the big screen. HGTV launched her show, the Rehab Addict, which is a highly popular reality show on TV. The show follows her efforts to rehab homes, reconstruct run-down houses, and preserve unique architecture. The show has gained a massive following and has a lot of positive reviews thanks in part to her hands-on methods and her passion for creating rehab projects that fall on or under their modest budgets.
The show has also been picked up by DIY Network, further increasing her net worth. Curtis cares about the communities that she works in and launched the Nicole Curtis Foundation as a way to give back. Its goal is to generate donations that support the homeless, poor, and children in various communities.
Nicole Curtis’s productivity habits
Nicole is a creative and very resourceful person. She makes a point of always staying on the move both in her personal and professional life. She has a passion for doing things in a budget-friendly way which helps her to think on her toes and maximize her productivity levels.
How rich is Nicole Curtis?
Nicole Curtis has amassed a net worth of $8 million dollars. As a successful real estate agent, she has the potential to earn even more in the coming years.

10 oz. skirt steak, French fries
It was my wife and my 45th birthday celebration. Food was fantastic as usual! The one thing different this year was that desert was not compensated as it has been since we have been coming every year since it opened. In the current financial environment I sort of understand however it was kind of disappointing. We will still come for special occasions but disappointing that there is not the same vib for the special occasions.
We have eaten at The Avenue several times. It is always good, but this was the best. We have always liked the ambiance, but the combination of an experienced wait staff and nice table added greatly to the experience. My wife had the crab cakes and I had the roasted chicken. Both were excellent. Usually I have a steak, but I thought I would try something different. It was just as good. Since it was my birthday I was treated to a creme brulee with a candle. The Avenue really is a place you can celebrate a special occasion or just come in for a drink an a hamburger.
We decided to eat here for our anniversary, since this was the place we had our first date. The service was pretty good, but the waitress was really focused on upselling. Having worked in retail and commission jobs, I’m familiar with the tactics. My girlfriend asked for a wine recommendation, and the waitress happily recommended one but didn’t mention the price or show us on the menu. When I got the bill it was $20 per glass, which came to be $40 for just the two glasses she had. We were asked if we wanted any sauce on our steaks after ordering the $48 filet, and we thought it was just something that came on it or was optional. That was another $8 for a little scoop of sauce. Earlier in the meal, I was told they got 6 new bourbons, so I tried the only one I hadn’t had before which was $11 per round. On the bill it came up an extra $2.50 per. So there was an additional $5 in over charges. 2 drinks each, and 2 main courses, no appetizers, no extras, came to be over $185 BEFORE tip. The food wasn’t $200 good, and neither was the service, which I felt like had taken advantage of us for at least $60. It sucks to have had a bad experience because that was our special place we met and our anniversary date. It was also the start of our trip, and we had stayed in town a little later just to eat here. I didn’t want to make a scene in the restaurant on my date about the bill, because I didn’t want to ruin the mood and vibe that was already starting to suffer.
Me and my boyfriend loved this place for our anniversary. Our waiter was so considerate and the service was amazing. Definitely recommend the food!
Service was slow. Manager stepped in and checked us out as she noticed we were ready to go.
Overall enjoyable evening. Service a bit slow - but fine. Mostly I was surprised with how full and busy the restaurant was. If I was not fully COVID vaccinated- I would have been uncomfortable with the amount of people in the restaurant. Luckily we were in a booth with plexiglass. The staff all were masked and were great at cleaning things down.
Excellent service! I would definitely recommend and return.
My waiter was amazing she was attentive and friendly. The food was out of this world!!!
Great ambiance and service! We were a party of 4, and every meal was amazing! The fondue appetizer is a must!
First experience with The Avenue in Grandview food and staff were incredible. Cost was reasonable for a Cameron Mitchell Restaurant. My Wife and I will be back!!
My new favorite restaurant. Excellent food, service and ambience. Thanks for a great Valentine’s dinner!
Wonderful old school vibe with wood paneling and red leather banquets. The servers were knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. The food and cocktails were first rate. An overall terrific experience.
I had scallops that came with green beans. Usually the veggies at the Avenue are a highlight of the meal but the green beans had no flavor at all. My husband said his NY strip was suberb.
We'v dined at The Avenue about a half-dozen times since it opened - keep coming back because it's consistent and good in both food and service. Tonight was no exception - Thank you, Rachel, for your great service!
A Rye Old Fashioned @ The Avenue was only Fair.
The same drink @ Hudson29 was Superior!
My husband and I had never been and went for an early Valentines dinner. We were not disappointed. He got the ribeye and I had the twin filets Oscar Style. Would definitely recommend!
The kids steak was ridiculously small but the rest of our food was amazing. We love the value of the steaks because they come with side dishes were most restaurants don’t. They are always cooked perfectly.
Great service, great food, great dessert, just an overall great experience. We were celebrating our 58th anniversary and were given a free dessert, we had a very enjoyable experience
First time but delicious and decent prices for happy hour deals
Well, we’re in a pandemic so we realize nothing is as awesome as it could be. That being said, we were celebrating a birthday on a Monday night, and had a lovely evening. The wine deal was great, the anchovies added to the Caesar were outstanding, the complimentary birthday cheesecake delicious, and we all enjoyed our meals. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you.
The food was great as usual, service as well. We love this restaurant.
We have been to the avenue before, I was underwhelmed on this visit. The steak served was not a good piece, they did make it right, but even the second steak was under seasoned. We probably wouldn't return anytime soon.
Good Evening, I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe and well. First off, I want to extend my apologies that your recent experience with us left something to be desired.

Service, cocktails and food were amazing.
Elegant and Perfect for celebrating our 20th anniversary.
My mothers birthday!!
It was her first time there and my sisters first time there they absolutely loved it and so did I!
I love it so much that I will be going again tonight this will be my third time in a row dining there!!
We haven't been dining in for months now and we were so glad we finally made the decision to go out. Everything was perfectly prepared, the wait staff knowledgeable and friendly and wearing masks. Tables were spread out and plexi-glass installed. Can't wait to go back.
Wildly overpriced. Steak was ordered medium. Steak was well done. Steak was totally charred on outside. Sides were OK, but nothing special. After ordering a steak I was told a soup was included. They charged me extra for the soup.
This place is no better than a blue collar steak house such as Texas Roadhouse or Outback. We spent $148. and could have gotten the same thing at Texas Roadhouse for less than $60.
Amazing. The service, the food and the ambiance. I took my three teenage grandchildren and they LOVED it. You can never go wrong with a Cameron Mitchell restaurent.
Our dining experience was wonderful! We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us a cute little private area. Shawn was great and incredibly patient with us and our constant ordering of food. Thank you for a memorable experience!
Solid dinner. Felt safe, good food, good service.
We did have to wait about 20 min past our reservation time to be seated but it was absolutely well worth it. The food was fantastic. Perfectly cooked and great portions. The wine offerings were exquisite. We will definitely be back!
We were settled next to the bar so it was a little noisy. I would love to see another soup option, but the food was great and cooked to perfection. Drinks were done well. Overall a great night out to catch a nice casual dinner.
Great food, service, and atmosphere. Cocktail quality was a little under par during this visit.
Delicious as usual, service was fantastic...my only complaint is that it was quite packed and it made me nervous during the pandemic
It was nice and the food was amazing!
Food was great, service was prompt but very impersonal. It was our first time and will probably return again.
It was pretty quiet, outdated decor, food wasn’t that good (we did order multiple plates to give it a fair chance), and drinks were just ok.
We visited for restaurant week and it was our first time...a good experience. Great meal. A very cool, hip place.
Restaurant Week - Food and service was great! I will definitely go back!
First time at Avenue. Will definitely be our new go to place for special occasions.

I’m off to Fish Creek for a couple of days with some of my postgrad colleagues for a writing retreat. The Gods are smiling on us by sending lots of rain our way, hopefully enforcing an inside long-weekend. Several of us attended a retreat conducted by Ron Adams from La Trobe last year, and we decided we’d like to do it again.
As one of the activities we’ve planned, we were asked to bring a couple of pages from a historian whose writing we admired. So who to choose? There is of course my beloved Richard Holmes, but then I realized that even though I gobbled up his Footsteps and Sidetracks, I haven’t actually read any of the biographies that he used as the basis for his meditations on biography and history.
What about Inga Clendinnen then? Certainly right up there in my constellation of historian stars, but Ron’s workshop made much of the Clendinnen-Isaacs-Dening triumvirate, and I’d like to choose someone different.
Tom Griffiths I considered, and Lisa Ford too. But in the end, I went for Kirsten McKenzie. I haven’t reviewed her work in this blog because I read it before I started writing here. Her book ‘Scandal in the Colonies’ was the book that made me start thinking about how I could deal with Judge Willis. She combines incisive observations about colonial life, status and behaviour with real-life, sympathetically drawn examples. The book is replete with beautifully crafted, pithy sentences, but the overall effect is light and readable. You feel as if you’d like to meet the author, that there’s a sense of humour there. She deals, as I want to do, with the nuances of behaviour as perceived by others at the time, that rumble underneath the official correspondence and are magnified and parodied through the rumour mills and the hysteria of the press.
So, off to Fish Creek I go- laptop in hand, no internet access (I hope) and Kirsten McKenzie tucked under my arm.

China still ranks third after the US and Argentina as a Brazilian export market as China’s imports from Brazil reached $10.749 billion, up 27.9 percent.
In 2007, Brazilian foreign trade amounted to $281.26 billion, including exports of $160.65 billion, up 16.6 percent, and imports of $120.61 billion, up 32 percent. The trade surplus was $40 billion, down 13.8 percent.
Industry analysts say the Brazilian real has appreciated 17 percent against the US dollar, leading to the great increase of imports.
