A memory foam mattress is made of a very unique foam called viscoelastic foam. It is foam made of a unique material that has the ability to contour to your body’s curves in response to body heat. This allows the memory foam to support the parts of your body that need it. Memory foam mattresses come in a variety of thicknesses to suit your personal needs.

When synthetic foam and certain chemicals are mixed they create a product with an increase in density weight. What this means is that every square foot of memory foam is condensed to create a more dense and viscous elastic foam. These memory mattresses provide you with what you need to sleep restfully while at the same time easing your aches and pains.

A mattress made of memory foam works by supporting your pressure points such as your lower back and behind your knees. The foam mattress elevates these points of stress by allowing your other body parts like your upper back and buttocks to sink deeper into the memory foam. This allows your natural curves to get the support they need. Many people find great relief with these mattresses and will sleep on nothing else. This is because their pressure points are relieved of any strain as they sleep.

Whether you are a stomach, side or back sleeper, the memory foam will contour around every curve of your body giving your body the support it needs without the stress. Your hips and shoulders will sink comfortably into the memory foam as you sleep on your side allowing you to sleep comfortably. When you get out of bed the memory foam will quickly regain its elastic properties and be ready to support you the next time you go to bed.

Many people suffering from aches and pains swear by the memory foam wishing they had made the switch from a conventional mattress sooner. These mattresses may not be for everybody, however, so be sure to try one out before you buy it.

I am the photographer who took the nude photos of Amber Frey,
the “other woman” in the Scott Peterson murder case, in 1999. I
was also called in as a character witness during the famous
trial, where it was revealed that she had been seeing Peterson
during the period of time when he murdered his wife Lacy and his
unborn son Conner.

Some background on me: having been a promising athlete in every
sport possible in high school, setting several school records
and being a high point man, I finally also became a member of
the PBA, the Professional Bowlers Association, in 1991. I won 17
nationally awarded honors. I was a league bowler in 1998 and
have averaged 220 for the last three seasons. Bowling is more
than a mere hobby to me, but my real passion is photojournalism
and the fine art of taking celebrity images, at which I’ve been
found to be excellent.

My professional career as a paparazzi is not lengthy, but it has
become vastly extensive and I have taken images of every kind of
celebrity imaginable, including some of the most high profile
personalities in politics, sports and entertainment. President
George W. Bush, Al Gore, Jesse Jackson, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Michael Jordan, Dan Marino, Steve Young, Kobe Bryant, Britney
Spears, George Strait, Elton John, KISS, Aerosmith, Toby Keith,
the Eagles, Shania Twain, Van Halen, and practically every other
musical act on tour recently have strutted before my camera.
I’ve been published in national magazines and books, and my
images of people have been seen on pretty much every major TV
news network in America and the UK, and potentially other places
worldwide.

The pictures of Amber Frey have been especially widespread,
appearing in The National Enquirer, The Globe, The Star, People
Magazine, In-Touch Magazine, New York Daily News, and The New
York Post, as well as the book “The Murder of Laci Peterson.” My
images, albeit not myself, have also made brief appearances on
Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition, “E” Television, A & E TV,
“On the Record” with Greta Van Susteren, Hannity and Colmes,
Foxnews, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC. The above is only what
I’m aware of, and I know that Amber’s photos have been seen in
dozens of other publications and on many other TV networks.

And yet, I haven’t said much about the actual, real life
perverse truth behind those infamous photographs until now. I
have only made spartan statements and have gone very little into
the stories behind them, which involve many colorful characters
and particular circumstances which, after some time, I have
finally decided to disclose to the general public. I have
decided to reveal that I actually knew Amber Frey as a close
acquaintance for about a decade, and much about her personal
life and struggles, as well as the many other peculiar people
involved in the Scott Peterson case. For example, I’ve known
Amber ever since I first met her in 1993 when she was a cashier
at our local Thrifty’s, a chain store similar to WalMart. The
fact that the store went under in the late 1990’s is what led to
Amber needing to make another living and appearing in my studio
as a model. My story involves the ruthless, seductive, immoral
and often illegal activities and relationships of the people
surrounding Amber, and how she may not have been as innocent as
people thought.

My career in photography is a short study on a quick rise to an
overwhelming spurt of fame, not of me, but of my photographs. I
briefly attended Fresno State University, majoring in Mass
Communications and Theater Arts, with dreams of one day becoming
a TV anchorman. I started professionally photographing people
out of my apartment in 1994, and after I became published I was
“hooked” on the juice of artful photography, opening up my first
studio in Clovis, California in 1998. This studio was quite
small and permeated with the smell of a nearby manicurist’s
office, with hideously poor ventilation. Numerous times my
clients left me because of the extremely strong odor. I began to
move out and take more of my photos “in the field,” doing
weddings, proms, anything that would pay the bills.

My big break happened when I became the photographer for “Dirt
Road Productions” in 1998, taking headshots of aspiring actors
for Alan Autry, who played Bubba from the hit TV show “In the
Heat of the Night,” starring Carroll O’Connor. I then began
snapping models for portfolios for their acting and modeling
careers, and placed an ad in a local paper. I couldn’t help but
notice that the best way to snap women was by posing them in
sexy lingerie, as there was plenty of enthusiasm on the part of
both my mostly female models and the venues of advertising which
bought my photos. One day an old friend from my past showed up,
and as several of the female models I had shot had been very
aggressive on camera, to the point of removing some of their
clothing, I was able to talk her into doffing her clothes on
camera. Amber Frey was apparently more than happy to do so, as
she’d lost that job at the Thrifty’s and clearly wanted to get
ahead, perhaps becoming a part of my special destiny as well,
soon after October of 1999.

I began to take an interest in freelance work such as billboard
photography and working on CD projects with musical acts in the
Central Valley area of California, entering numerous contests
and shows. My work won many awards, and I ventured into more of
the gallery world of photography, covering many high profile
events in Fresno and on the West Coast. I was finally a broadly
acclaimed photojournalist. I also continued my relationship with
Amber Frey during this period of time, and of course she was an
honest pleasure to be with, as she had a charmingly unassuming
manner.

And now I have a choice, tell-all book about Amber Frey and
David Hans Schmidt to offer the world, as I advance into the
field of writing with the help of a professional ghost writer
who has been widely published. One of her recently rewritten and
edited books has appeared on the New York Times best seller
list. The story of Amber Frey and the nude photographs,
including their special relationship to one of the worst murder
cases and acts of betrayal in recent American history, needs to
be told. It sort of begins as the story of a pornographer, a
photographer and the “other woman.”

On January 24th of 2003, Amber Frey presented herself to the
media and the world as Scott Peterson’s girlfriend, and was
immediately dubbed “the other woman.” I had to get up early the
next morning, and my best friend, my roommate, knocked on my
bedroom door. I grabbed something to wear, and he said, “Your
old friend you took some pics of awhile ago is on TV. I think
she’s involved with a murder.” Little did I know then how
important those nude photos would turn out to be, and how
extensively involved in the Scott Peterson case I would become,
meeting David Hans Schmidt, a guy from Arizona who was a
self-proclaimed “celebrity porn seller.” He said he had brokered
deals with Tanya Harding, Katarina Witt, and Paula Jones. He
wanted to buy the rights to my images of Amber Frey, and he had
a deal with Penthouse magazine for $325,000.

Now my real first big break had finally arrived. David kept
saying he could see me becoming a major player in the
photographic world, riding on big jet airliners and meeting a
lot of beautiful hot women, and all this would happen in just a
few short days. But to my great and utter disappointment, this
would eventually turn out to be a lot of hot air. The deals with
David, colorful and exotic of a character as he was, all fell
through. I ended up returning to an agency I had signed on with
earlier in New York City to handle the displaying of the images,
which had already been appearing on the magazine shelves of
venues in the US and internationally for a total of ten straight
weeks. What had happened to me up until then had seemed like a
dream straight out of Van Gogh’s wildest paintings. Now I didn’t
know what to expect, or what further misadventures might await
me.

After my roommate had banged on the door and made his startling
announcement, suggesting The National Enquirer, I called them on
Monday just to see what they’d do, and before I could say
“whoa,” they had an editor fly from Florida to meet me in
Fresno. We met at Chevy’s restaurant in the self-same shopping
mall where Amber had met Scott for the first time. I have a lot
of friends from that area. It’s named Riverpark, and that’s
where I was introduced to David Wright from the Enquirer. After
we came to terms, he left for Modesto to cover the story of the
case, which was being touted as “the first true crime of the
century,” although a lot of people were booing the concept due
to their sympathy for the two dead people in the story.

Two weeks later, my photos were plastered all over the cover of
the Enquirer. I went into a surreal state of shock when I saw my
work in their full page spread in the center of the magazine,
one of the most popular and controversial papers in the entire
world. Then the extensive news and television coverage began,
and my images were consistently second nature to everyone on the
TV. My pictures were everywherein a way, I was famous at last.
And yet I did not come forward, in spite of offers to do so by
every major newspaper, magazine and TV station in the United
States, and elsewhere.

The chief photo editor from the Enquirer had suggested that I
get an agency to represent me, and that’s when I found the one
in New York. After that, I met David Hans Schmidt, and the rest
is a history of betrayal, money going down the drain, and what a
weirdo berserk character David was. His story was played widely
in the news, and I actually spent a lot of time with this guy,
taping our conversations and talking about his insane exploits,
such as how he was going to bang Tanya Harding and the very
infamous Paris Hilton tape, which he had a copy of, plus the
Jessica Lynch nude images that he sold to Larry Flynt, one of
which I still posses a copy of and the legal rights to it.

Everything with David was a drug to do or a deal fallen through.
It took some time, and I actually spent a kind of year in a
weirdo wacked out version of hell combined with the nuisance of
waiting for money that never came. Like the poor stressed out
Kato Kailan had been during the OJ Simpson trial, I had been a
Sidebar to the Witness, which is the working title of my book.
And yet it was clear that in spite of holding the “images of the
century,” I was not going to see a further penny to my name,
which also was not well known yet.

But I finally quit on him and headed back to my New York agency.
I’ve been there ever since, slowly putting it all together, how
all the actors in this play interrelate, writing about my
relationship with Amber Frey, her own relationship with Scott
Peterson, everything.

At last, now I’m willing to tell the world my true and shocking
story.

When it comes to buying gifts for girlfriends or wives, men often enter into a zone that can best be described as paralysis. You often feel as though you’re in a no-win situation. If you don’t buy a gift, you’ll definitely be in the doghouse. Yet, if you buy the wrong gift, you may end up getting fleas as well.

Women don’t make the dilemma any easier, since they are notorious for expecting you to read their minds. After all, if you REALLY loved her, you’d know exactly what she’s always longed for. You’d select the perfect gift and experience her glistening eyes and radiant smile as she showered you with thanks and praise. All too often, though, you get one of two reactions: if you’re lucky, there’s a slight trembling of the lip and a tight smile as she struggles not to show her disappointment. If you’re not lucky, you’re subject to a withering look and a deep sigh that signals you’ve once again failed in the gift-giving department. It’s no wonder that, at gift giving occasions, men either make themselves scarce or resign themselves to an excruciating experience.

Some men think that the way around a woman’s potential disappointment is to spend an exorbitant amount of money on a gift. There are two problems with this approach: first, the amount a gift costs is irrelevant if it’s not what she truly wants. Second, you’re likely to resent spending more than you can afford on a gift that you know has a good chance of not meeting her expectations.

Lest you consider giving up before you even get started, know that opportunities exist to buy discount gifts that will meet or exceed her expectations. The secret to winning her over is to make your gift personal. Here are some great ideas to help you hit a home run with her the next time you give her a gift:

Perfumes: A woman’s scent is her signature. If you don’t know what kind of perfumes she wears, sneak a peak in her boudoir. A gift of perfumes, or bath and body products in the scent she loves, will let her know you’ve been paying attention. For an even more personal touch, include an antique perfumes atomizer in the package.

Jewelry: By its very nature, jewelry is personal. Plus, you can find jewelry at many discount gifts outlets. The trick is to know her tastes. While a ring might signify more than you’re willing to communicate, a beautiful choker or pair of earrings - or even a toe ring - will let her know you care.

Gifts for Pets: The way to a woman’s heart is through her pets. If you’re giving her a holiday gift, be sure to include small gifts for her pets. You can get discount gifts for pets - such as a new water bowl or a cute doggie T-shirt - at many online malls.

Lingerie: Lingerie is an extremely personal gift. Keep two things in mind when selecting lingerie. First, make sure you know her size. Giving her lingerie that doesn’t fit can make her self-esteem plummet. Second, make sure the lingerie is a gift for HER, not for you. Select something that will make her feel good about herself.

Electronics: Although you may think gifts of electronics are reserved for men, that’s simply not the case. Many online shops offer discount gifts that fall into the category of electronics. The trick is to make it personal. If you give her a cordless phone, charge it and program the speed dial feature with your phone number. If you buy a digital camera, load some pictures of the two of you onto the memory card. If you purchase an iPod, load it with her favorite music.

Whatever you select for her - whether it’s a household item, games, painted glass, or lingerie - she’s sure to love it if you put some thought into personalizing it. And don’t forget, you don’t have to break the bank to express your affection. Discount gifts give you a variety of options that will endear her to you.

A top-earning AdSense website will have a number of different elements: it will have high quality content filled with valuable keywords; it will have the right ad units in the right place well blended into the page; and it will have a steady stream of traffic flowing in from various sources to click the ads that the feed the funds.

Gathering that traffic can be hard work. You can take the easy route and simply pay for ads on AdWords. That works fine as long as you’re paying less per click than your ads receive per click. Swapping links will certainly be a part of your traffic acquisition strategy, as will search engine optimization. But all that takes effort… so you want to make the most of it.

You’ve probably heard that old business maxim about new clients costing ten times more to pick up than holding on to old ones.

The principle is exactly the same for websites.

If you’ve attracted a user to your site, you want to make sure he comes back. If he didn’t click on ad during his last visit, he might click next time. And if he did click on an ad during his last visit, then that’s definitely the sort of user you want returning.

Satisfying your users with valuable content will help, but even the most satisfied user can still forget to check your site regularly. That’s why a newsletter is such an important tool.

You should always be trying to capture your users’ email addresses. You’ll be able to remind them that you’re out there, tell them that you have good information and suggest that they come back to your site. You can’t put ads in the newsletter itself yet (although Google say that’s on the way) but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be using a newsletter.

One way to create a newsletter and use it to generate ad clicks is to fill it with original content and make sure that your URL is well displayed. If people feel that they’re getting good content from your newsletter, they’ll come to the site to find out more.

The other method is even easier. Every time you create a new blog post or write a new article simply take the first paragraph or two and paste it into your newsletter template. When the template is full, mail it off to your list. To read the rest of the article, those old users will have to visit your site.

If you’re not sending a newsletter to your users, then not only will you be unprepared when Google wheels out ads in newsletters, you’re also missing a valuable traffic opportunity now.

Printed lanyards are typically made of polyester, nylon, or cotton and are of a flat braid tubing. This style of lanyard provides ample flat surface area for the placement of names, logos, slogans, or symbols. There are thousands of businesses that specialize in the production and printing of lanyards. Printing techniques vary from a hot stamp (basic quality) and silk screen (medium quality) to a more costly dye sublimation process that results in a premium quality print. Printed lanyards are also available in a wide variety of patterns including leopard print and cow print. The standard width of printed lanyards is 3/8″, 5/8″, ” or 1″.

For those who desire a lanyard made from a material other than polyester, nylon, or cotton, there is a wide variety of other material to choose from. Atypical lanyard materials include PVC, fleece, denim, satin, and leather.

Printed lanyards are typically inexpensive and, if purchased in great quantity, they are available for as little as a few cents per piece. Individuals are able to choose the length, color, width, material, and customization of their printed lanyard. As common sense would dictate, the intricacy or amount of print has a large affect on the final price of the lanyard.

There is a high demand for printed lanyards and a large number of companies that supply them. Most businesses are able to accept an order for a printed lanyard and produce and ship it to the buyer within one to three business days.

When choosing a printed lanyard there are many decisions to make. In addition to selecting a specific style, it is important to decide on the best type of device to secure the object. Some examples of attachment hardware are swivel hooks, key rings, and badge holders. Typically the object to be secured will dictate which device should be used. For example, most appropriate for securing keys would be a key ring or split ring. It is extremely important to choose a high quality device when securing an object of importance.
