Which mattress is better: bonded foam or coir?
The coir mattress is better due to following reasons1 It is made of natural Coir fibre as opposed to petro product2.It is porous and breathable3.It does not retain moisture and ventilating4.It is hard and good for those who require hard surface due to some recommendations5.It is cool and doesn't trap air.However I think following configuration of Mattresses in descending order from best to good1 Taltalay latex6″+2″ Memory foam+100% Organic cotton cloth2.

What does it mean when a recipe tells you to "fold in"?
Folding is a technique to 'blend'. You don't stir, that will deflate the egg whites for example. To fold you take part of the mixture and bring up and over.....thus folding. You continue this until mixed well. You will not deflate the egg whites this way.
Is sleeping on a memory foam mattress topper directly on the floor do-able?
Without a high-density foam base, the memory foam alone would not be comfortable, as you would "bottom out" onto the hard floor beneath you. We have ran the guantlet with toppers, buying 3 different ones over the years, so I know this is true. Some of the thicker toppers (like 4") DO have high density foam glued to the memory foam, so that would work in a floor situation. Just make sure you get a topper that also has a high density foam base under the memory foam portion. The serta 4" mattress topper is one we have used directly on the floor with great success. The serta rejuvenator can be had on overstock.com for like $150 in any size, and it is VERY comfy, even if used on a hard floor instead of a bed! I used mine for about a year on my side of the bed because of my back and hip pain, and this helped tremendously!!! There's been a few times we've used it as a spare bed on the floor for a guest as well as when hubby or I were fighting and refused to sleep in the same room with eachother until we made up...so one of us (usually him, haha) slept on the topper on the floor VERY comfortably, tons better than the couch! The serta topper is 1.5" of memory foam fused to 3 1/2" of high density foam. It really does the job, especially for it being only a "topper". But you can get a wonderful 7+ inch memory foam BED very reasonably by shopping on overstock.com. They only charge $2.95 for shipping no matter WHAT you buy! So I finally retired my topper and just 6 weeks ago, got a brand new entire memory foam bed from overstock for $369 (california king size!!) by accu-gold, and I'm in HEAVEN. It has a full of 4" thick of 5.3 lb density memory foam on 2 different density foam base layers, which are interchangebale. This means it can be customized! It is labled for RV use, which means it has not been treated with formaldehyde and other flame retardants, which I LIKED. It is not too heavy and it has a great warranty, too. (Just buy a zippered mattress case to contain your layers nice and neat) I LOVE it, and my back feels SO much better. Check out overstock.com and read the many reviews to help you make your decision. Good luck!!
Air bubbles coming out from the ground?
It was the water percolating into open areas under ground, probably gopher holes. Basically just the water displacing air underground, nothing to worry about. That must have been some rain!!!
How do i form my baseball glove so there is not a crease down the middle of it?
Hey, I'm currently a catcher, used to be a shortstop. I know what you mean by the crease down the middle, which is a real pain when you're trying to field a hard grounder or transfer the ball from your glove to throw out a runner stealing second. First of all: DO NOT DO ANYTHING INVOLVING APPLYING HEAVY PRESSURE TO YOUR GLOVE WITHOUT A BALL IN IT! This will easily give you a heavy crease straight down the palm of your glove all the way through the pocket. Now, when you start breaking in your glove for the first time, don't do anything special. Just go out an a relatively warm day (to make sure the leather is a bit softer) and play catch for a while. 10-30 min. should do. Make sure you're throwing with someone who has a half-decent arm, like someone on your team before a game/at a practice. Right after your throwing, while the leather is still a little softer from the working in, apply a LITTLE BIT of glove oil/foam all over your glove if you have some. If not, you could buy some, or not bother. Now, KEEP YOUR HAND IN THE GLOVE, and put a baseball in the pocket. Wrap it tight with elastic bands or some other fasteners (bungee cords maybe?) and just keep this wrapped glove on your hand for about 30 min. or more. This should help shape the glove to your unique hand. From then on, simply play catch and repeat the process of wrapping your glove afterwards. If you can't do the elastic thing after, try adding a small bit of the glove oil/conditioner before you play catch. Hope I helped, and most important when breaking in your glove... BE PATIENT and DON'T ADD TOO MUCH GLOVE OIL
