Our best-selling Thai Pad reading pillow
Our popular Thai Pad serves as an elegant and sturdy reading pillow, holding either tablet or traditional book at the ideal angle. Artisans in northeastern Thailand make each Thai Pad by hand, taking their centuries-old design for a floor pillow and miniaturizing it for a book pillow. You might say that your reading helps their village make a living. Now Levenger is helping to make reading itself a reality in villages like this. We will make a donation, based on sales of the Thai Pad, to the International Reading Association's literacy programs in Thailand, so that hands such as those that crafted this bookrest can now also hold books.
Provides the ideal angle for working on an iPad, Kindle or other electronic reader
Offers comfortable, ergonomic support for your hands and wrists as you browse the Web or read a book
Holds both small and large hardcover books
Fold-out seat ensures balance
Made in Thailand with 100% Thai silk
Filled with a hypoallergenic polyfiber
1.25 pounds
Opened, 12W x 12D x 6H
Closed, 12W x 6 1/4D x 7 1/2H

Thank you for upholding literacy
As part of our
Partnering for Good
program, Levenger will contribute to a literacy program that reaches the country and region where this product is made.
Thai Pad
Simply essential
This is such an elegantly simple product, and one I use every day to support books or an iPad mini. It is so light-weight that it is comfortable to hold whether I'm sitting or curled up in a chair or reclining in bed. I've owned one for several years and, because I'm so happy with it, I've given several as gifts.
July 3, 2014
works but doesn't last
Design of Thai Pad is excellent for holding a book on your lap at a useful reading angle. However, the silk cover fabric soon splits and tears under use, particularly with heavy art or photo books. Have had to improvise a new cover using tee-shirts -- ugly. Poor durability makes the price high.
April 24, 2014
Cheap fabric
Functionality of this product is great - so much so that I bought two. I use them everyday. Problem is that the fabric these are covered with is so cheap that both have holes worn through where the edge of my tablet (rounded and smooth, I might add) has worn holes in them. It would be one thing if the edge of my tablet was sharp but it's as smooth as glass and has still made the fabric threadbare. For this price, these should last a lot longer since they just sit there behind my tablet. With the stuffing now coming out of both, they will be going into the trash soon. Pity - I liked the product but I won't buy another.
March 26, 2014
Lost Without It!
I cannot do without it. I use it on daily basis.
March 14, 2014
a new favorite
I have been wanting this product and hesitated because iI kept thinking that it really can't be as useful as claimed. Wrong! It is all it claims to be and more. Want to buy a couple more for gifts but will wait for a special offer because they are a bit high in price . Levenger.has many good offers. I enjoy visiting their site.
February 22, 2014
Comfortable Reading
The colors on the blue Thai Pad are beautiful and the quality is very nice. We are using this with a Google Nexus, IPOD touch and our Microsoft Surface2. It is not very comfortable to use when the keyboard is attached to the Surface2, but once you have your reading material on screen we can remove the keyboard and this provides a very comfortable reading angle, more comfortable when you're able to prop up your feet and put on your lap. Our kids use it lying on the floor with it to watch movies or videos and they love the viewing angle for that too.
January 21, 2014
Great for my Nook Color
My husband gave me this reading pillow for Christmas. I have been using my Nook Color more these days for reading books, and the pillow works beautifully to prop it up in my lap or on a table. (The Nook does get heavy after holding it awhile). It's just what I wanted.
January 20, 2014
Just what I was looking for !
Terrific purchase. Makes using my I Pad with keyboard so much easier. I purchased one for my son who mentioned that he always uses a pillow when he reads or uses his I Pad. I am sure this will be much better than his pillow !!! I would love to see this product in neutral colors that would fit in with any decor. As always, I am thrilled with my Levenger purchase.
January 18, 2014
What I wanted
Holds my iPad better than my wireless keyboard stand -- and I can still use the keyboard. Typing on iPad itself is easier. Works with my iPhone too. Holds books (paper and hard back) effectively. I use it on the desk/table as well as in my lap. I love the silk, but why not consider a more durable material and a pocket on one side?
January 12, 2014
Thai Pad in Purple/Rose
This product is lovely straight out of the package. I have only used it so far to hold my paperback book while reading in bed. For that purpose, it works very well. Looking forward to propping the iPad on it to watch late night TV.

Well, I'd rather guess they never have seen their chief warlord before and would not have guessed that he is that big.

My interpretation is that the MK rule allows casters to retreat from a battle to MK at any time they can, but only allow exiting MK throgh the portal to their own capital. Making it a very foolish move indeed to go into MK for Wanda and/or Jack in the first place.
Looking at panels 9, 10 and 11, but particularly 11, I'm thinking that it's pretty clear that Jack stepped out of the MK portal into the JS portal room after Parson. Also, no comic since at least 82 shows anyone with a great line of sight to the back side of the JS portal in the MK. I suspect Jack, for-reals in the MK during the discussion, simply walked behind the crowd and circled around to the back side of the JS portal, where he waited unseen until Parson stepped through. Then, he stepped through himself, from the back. Since no one was looking from that side, no one noticed him hide or step through. So, no juice required; he just took advantage of everyone's natural distraction.
kiyote wrote:Have you thought that Jack just walked through the portal while the thinkamancers were inside Parson's head, the carneymancers were busy making a scene? Seems like everybody was focused on Parson, which is a natural distraction for Jack, especially since he has that foolamancer sense of what people's perceptions are.
That's one explanation, sure. But it assumes that Jack lied directly to Parson in a conversation with Marie, Wanda, Parson, Sizemore and Janis. I don't think it's the simplest one, and I don't like assuming that protagonists lie to each other so easily. If I'm supposed to figure that's a lie, what's to stop me from thinking every sentence of the entire comic is an outright lie? Do we really even have a good example of anyone other than a predictamancer lying to the reader? I'm sorry, I don't really buy that argument. He says he's out of juice to the reader and to his CW, then he's out of juice. To think otherwise is to be paranoid.splintermute wrote:The easiest "trick of some sort" for Jack to have used would simply have been lying earlier about being out of juice - note that he says "I am" rather than "I was".

gameboy1234 wrote:But in a larger fight, with ten's or hundred's of units per side, you're going to generate a lot of numbers just in the first round. I'm quite certain a decent mathemancer, if such analysis is possible at all, could spot something "fishy" or out of whack very quickly. This sort of thing is never 100% of course. The opponent could just have a lucky round or two. But a good mathematician, and a good mathemancer, does not believe in luck; in our experience there's no such thing as luck (only Luck), and we keep our trusty blaster at our side too.
(I'm assuming that the system Clay, and Rob, describe ultimately works a lot like most table top war games. Both sides roll fist fulls of dice, "casualties" are removed, there's a few options for other play, then the next round happens and fist fulls of dice are rolled again. This is done until one side breaks or is eliminated. If you could record and analyze the rolls, it should be possible to spot say loaded dice really quickly, real time, right there on the battle field. The first round should be enough to tell you something is probably "up.")
Except that Clay is implying that he's not violating the probabilities at all, he's just exchanging one roll for another. A humble piker rolls a 10 and a warlord rolls a 2. A Luckamancer just swaps those rolls. As he says he's not making new "Numbers" he's stealing them. At the most, a Mathamancer could only statistically and intuitively discover what Clay already knows. And that's assuming a Mathamancer even has much experience fighting Luckamancers to care enough in the first place.
Also, luck, such as it is, is a valid abstraction. It is simply the unknowns that cannot be predicted, either due to a lack in knowledge, time or power. And to be perfectly fair, we don't actually know how much math Mathamancers really know, or even how much of the natural world they truly understand. A lot of what a caster says about his own discipline needs to be taken with a grain of salt because Erfworlders are notoriously superstitious.
One example of this superstition is the tendency to use Signamancy in a fashion similar to phrenology, which makes characters make wild and subjective claims about the character of people. Likewise, I think while Obedience is probably real, I don't think Loyalty is. Loyalty is just loyalty. In a tongue-and-cheek way, it is a "hidden Number" which is just a fancy way of saying "hidden variables." It's not neatly summed up in a single Number in a stat block like Erfworlders would like to believe.

text: As we noted in a post last week, RTT is highlighting papers and presentations from the Miller Center's Recasting Presidential History conference in October that point to the rich opportunities for conservation between political history, social and cultural history and the presidency. One such presentation worth highlighting is that delivered by Grace Elizabeth Hale, a professor of History and American Studies at the University of Virginia. Her presentation, "Outsider in Chief: Presidents and the Politics of Authenticity and Emotion," traces the cultural development of the President's outsider persona. Observers of contemporary American politics need only look at each new batch of Republican primary candidates to witness the irony of individuals attempting to become the foremost political insider--while all simultaneously claiming to be outside the fray. Hale traces this proclivity to the desire to appear "real" before the electorate, while showing how presidents like Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush have touted their own outsider credentials. Her presentation invites us to consider the cultural roots of their presidential authenticity (or lack thereof).

Hats off to Jamie Mac and his new team, he's a good kid and was nice to see him take the biggest win of his career. Stoked to see Dale Jr. come from 10th to 2nd in one lap, good way to start the season for him as well. Got to hand it to nascar this year for all the new rule changes - gloves are off and they're letting them race finally! This should be a kick ass 2010 for nascar fans!

Saint Hugh of Lincoln
- Hugh of Avalon
- Hugh of Burgundy
Born to the nobility, the son of William, Lord of Avalon. His mother Anna died when he was eight, and he was raised and educated at a convent at Villard-Benoit in France. Monk at 15. Deacon at 19. Prior of a monastery at Saint-Maxim. Joined the Carthusians in 1160. Ordained in 1165. In 1175 he became abbot of the first English Carthusian monastery, which was built by King Henry II as part of his penance for the murder of Thomas Becket.
His reputation for holiness spread through England, and attracted many to the monastery. He admonished Henry for keeping dioceses vacant in order to keep their income for the throne. He resisted the appointment, but was made bishop of Lincoln on 21 September 1181. Restored clerical discipline in his see. Rebuilt the Lincoln cathedral, destroyed by earthquake in 1185.
Hugh denounced the mass persecution of Jews in England in 1190-91, repeatedly facing down armed mobs, making them release their victims. Diplomat to France for King John in 1199, a trip that ruined his health. While attending a national council in London a few months later, he was stricken with an unnamed ailment, and died two months later.

Pueraria lobata tends to overtake the surfaces where it grows and this vigorous growth can hinder the development of surrounding plants. Consequently, it needs to be curbed by controlled cutting and uprooting. It's during this process, which is vital to preserve biodiversity, that Clarins collects the roots containing the active ingredients used in its Super Restorative range. As a responsible company, Clarins is thus respecting its permanent objective: to collect the most effective plant extracts while preserving the environment.

How have Presidents institutionalized Thanksgiving? There are three critical moments in the development of Thanksgiving as a formalized, national holiday. Not surprisingly, they center around three of the most studied presidents: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.
At the request of Congress, Washington issued the first Thanksgiving Day proclamation on October 3rd, 1789:
"Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be."
His statement is indicative of the both the character and structure of the holiday in early American history. Thanksgiving was--as it is today--a day of thanks; but specifically, it was an expression of gratitude toward "that great and glorious Being." This first presidential thanksgiving took place on the last Thursday in November--a precedent that the next fourteen presidents would only loosely follow.
Nearly 75 years later, Lincoln, at the urging of a newspaper editor Sarah Josepha Hale, would issue another Thanksgiving Proclamation, which nationalized the holiday. The statement, which was written by Secretary of State William Seward, called upon Americans in the midst of civil war to remember the gifts they daily received:
No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People.
Between 1789 and 1863, states issued their own thanksgiving proclamations, and dates of the holiday varied. After Lincoln, Thanksgiving became an annual presidential responsibility, which charged future presidents to proclaim the last Thursday of November a holiday.
That precedent held for another 75 years, until FDR faced a crisis of calendar in 1939. In that year, there were five, not four, Thursdays in November--which, if Roosevelt had followed tradition, would have shortened the Christmas shopping season (retailers considered Christmas advertising prior to Thanksgiving improper). Fred Lazarus Jr. of Federated Department Stores successfully lobbied Roosevelt to move Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday in November in order to lengthen the Christmas shopping season in years in which November had five Thursdays. The executive move angered a number of states enough that in some places two Thanksgivings were celebrated. In 1941, Congress passed and Roosevelt signed into law a joint resolution making the fourth Thursday in November "a legal public holiday to all intents and purposes and in the same manner as" Christmas, New Years, and the Fourth of July.
So, with the tip of the presidential signing pen, Thanksgiving Day has gone from an informal religious celebration, to a national holiday that marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season.

In Detail
Business planning is no longer just about defining goals, identifying critical issues, and then mapping out strategies. In today's dynamic and highly competitive business environment, companies with complex business models want their abstract strategies turned into discrete, executable plans. They want information from the field to reach decision makers in real-time so that they can fine-tune their plans as events unfold. IBM Cognos 8 Planning offers just that.
This book provides you with everything you need to know for building planning models using IBM Cognos 8 Planning. After reading this book, you can begin your journey into model building bringing with you a perspective that comes from three of the most seasoned IBM Cognos Planning consultants in the business.
In this book, you will learn how to build planning models using IBM Cognos Planning's modeling tool, Analyst. We introduce you to key objects in Analyst that let you define, store, and move data. Then we show how you can deploy the model to hundreds or thousands of users using IBM Cognos Planning's web-based tool, Contributor. We demonstrate some of the things you can do as an administrator and as a user. Finally, we show the automation tools that you can use to maintain and support your models. As we go through this, we will share with you tips and tricks and insights from our experience with real implementations.

Capitol Health Care Hearing Turns Raucous
December 4, 2012 | WMFE - In the coming months, the Florida Legislature will decide whether and how to go forward with optional parts of the Federal Healthcare Law. The state's Republican leaders have adamantly opposed implementing health insurance exchanges and expanding the Medicaid program for low income people. But after the re-election of President Barack Obama and a Supreme Court ruling approving the most controversial provision in the law, state lawmakers are now taking up the issues. They held their first public hearing on the new law in Tallahassee Monday and found that's there's still plenty of opposition to the Health Care Law.
Continued opposition to the federal healthcare law was clear Monday in a packed legislative committee room that, any other year, would have been relatively empty this early in the lawmaking period.
At the start of the meeting, newly-elected Senator Aaron Bean, a Jacksonville Republican, told Committee Chairman Joe Negron he had received emails suggesting the Committee would take a vote on the law immediately:
"I just want to make sure that we're going to have a meeting that reflects the choices given and the pluses and minuses in engaging in those choices." Bean said. "Is that your understanding Mr. Chairman?"
"I always think it's good to have a trial before you have a verdict." Negron responded.
Homemade protest signs lined the walls outside the committee room as the Senate committee charged with taking up the healthcare law began weighing its options on whether to implement a health insurance exchange and expand Medicaid program.
From the start it was clear the healthcare law's fate in Florida will be one of the most heated discussions during the Spring lawmaking session.
Tea Party Activist and Attorney KrisAnne Hall decried the law as unconstitutional.
"The federal government has absolutely no power, no right, to create a healthcare act. And if you want to discuss healthcare, it must be done on the state level, not through an exchange." Hall said.
"Some claim it must be submitted to as the 'law of the land' since the Supreme Court made its declaration from on high. This submits that we are not a collection of states, but a monarchy."
Hall's opposition was repeated by more than 10 additional speakers and even more who stood up in agreement.
No one from the public spoke in favor of the law but after its opponents stopped talking, Senate Minority Leader Chris Smith, an African-American, had his say.
"The federal government had to step in when Mulberry, Madison and Hamilton wrote in that Constitution that I wasn't a man." Smith said. "The federal government had to step in because our constitution is an imperfect document. If it was perfect, you wouldn't have Amendments to it."
Smith was met with a round of boos by the audience and afterward the committee's Chairman, Republican Senator Joe Negron said he believed the critical comments of law reflected feelings of quote: "passion".
"I think it got out because citizens care deeply about their healthcare and about the future of their healthcare in Florida and they're passionate about their points of view." Negron said. "We did hear predominantly from one side of the argument and I'm sure as we go forward we'll hear from the other side as well and I believe that's healthy and productive."
Negron didn't lay out a timeline for the committee to release its decision on the healthcare law.
A similar committee will also be convening in the House.

What kind of swan? Music?
Swanlake by Tchikovsky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1C_kinmd1g Here's Michal's SP. Spins look somewhat improved. However, it worries me that none of his jumps here are performed as planned (the LP wasn't much better). Not a fan of the costume or the stubble at all either
I hope that Mao's swan will be traditional and not voidy like Arakawa used to do. You never know from these Japanese ladies. This is a great choice for Mao, if she sticks to flowing, traditional style.
I don't think Mao has range to do anything other than traditional.
I heard Mao's Swan Lake is choreographed by Tarasova.
I am sort of curious - who choreographed Adelina Sotnikova's 07-08 Swan Lake?
Does anybody know?
It seems that Asada and Sotnikova has already 3 programs the same:
Ladies in lavender, Lieberstraume and now apparently the Swan lake
I've been secretly hoping for Mao to skate to Swan Lake since 2006 (her sister Mai had lovely program to SL, but she didn't qualify for Worlds...), so I'm OK with this choice.
Chock/Bates' Dr. Shivago FD is pure magic* A mesmerizing performance from these two. It'll be interesting to see how the USFSA scores the top four teams @ US Nats. Maybe we'll see a team from Zueva, a team from Shpilban, and a team from Camerlengo/krylova go to worlds.
Otoh, what a F***ed up program from Zhiganshina/Gazsi Their coach HATES them. It's the only explanation!
What is their music?
That part when he cracks her neck (am I right to assume he's Jack the Ripper? ) and he thinks he has killed her... err major FAIL
it's Mozart:
Divertimento in B flat major, K137 (Salzburg Symphony No. 2)II. Allegro di molto
Violin Sonata in F major, K. 376 (374d) II. Andante
