3. Click Box – Sci.Fi Loop (Miro Pajic Remix)
4. Click Box – Sci.Fi Loop (Danny Benedettini Remix)
Click Box presents "The Choice EP ", the fourth release of Unique Community, the Argentine label based in Buenos Aires that brings together leading artists of the techno, tech house and minimal techno scene, locally and internationally.
Click Box presents 2 original tracks called " The Choice" and "Sci.Fi Loop"; this last one comes with remixes of Miro Pajic and Danny Benedettini.
"The Choice" is the principal track of the EP and it fusions the industrial 80's sound with classic drums and these days minimal techno with some electro arrangements that gives the label the unmistakable sound of Click Box. It's a strong track for the dancefloor.
Sci.Fi Loop (Original Mix) combines pieces of acid, techno and minimal, with some electro twerks that gives the unmistakable sound of Click Box.
The remix from Miro Pajic has an involving sound, with an atmosphere that it sticks right to his style but keeps the bass from the original, which leaves us a really hypnotic and mindblowing track.
Finally, the remix from Danny Benedettini,where you can see his touch in the track because it has synthesizers, 80's drums and a fusion between disco-minimal really interesting.

To be honest, I agree with most of what Mr Schneier says in those links. My point may have been a little aggressive, sorry.
I have been following this topic closely recently, and if it came down to a referendum I would probably vote against ID cards.

Will my insurance cover the surgery?
Insurance providers generally cover costs for reconstructive surgery but not for cosmetic surgery. For example, insurance providers will cover reconstruction of a breast following a mastectomy and often treatment of the other side to create symmetry, eyelid surgery to remove sagging skin that blocks vision or nasal surgery to allow a patient to breathe better. We can give advice on whether treatment is likely to be covered and will be happy to assist you with the process.

This morning, there's a Reuters article about an article in The New Yorker called "U.S. escalating covert operations against Iran: report". According to the Reuters article, Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker cited a source that is familiar with a "highly classified Presidential Finding signed by Bush" which outlines a $400 million expansion of covert operations with the goal of destabilizing Iranian leadership. Many of the covert activities are non specific, which has raised congressional concerns. The goal appears to revolve around supporting opposition, raising tensions, and providing the excuse for militarily intervention.
I question the motives behind this "news" hitting the international wires now. Is it a ploy to unnerve Iran? If so, is it fact or fiction? Hard to tell since the facts are not verifiable. One thing's for sure: It is no longer "covert."

Before the Affordable Care Act individual health insurance coverage was like the Wild West. Insurance companies had the power to deny coverage, drop coverage, or charge people more when people got sick.
Not only did insurance companies have this power, they used it a lot. A 2010 congressional report found that the top four health insurance companies denied coverage to one in seven consumers on the individual market over a three year period. This was horrific.
By overwhelming proportions, Americans want these days to stay behind us. Poll after poll has shown health care to be a top issue for voters, with fully seven in 10 voters in key battleground districts saying it's their top issue.
For solid majorities of battleground, independent and Democratic voters — and half of Republican voters — a candidate's position on pre-existing conditions protections is "the single most important" or "a very important factor" in their vote this election.
What's driving the enthusiasm on health care and protections for people with pre-existing conditions? The fact that Republicans have have taken a sledgehammer to the pre-existing conditions protections Democrats cemented in federal law.
Republicans have taken a few steps to destroy the pre-existing conditions protections that millions rely upon. Almost all Republicans in Congress have voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, including its protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
In its place, they tried to pass "the American Health Care Act," which would have gutted protections for pre-existing conditions and forced people to spend thousands more for the care they need: an estimated $4,270 extra for asthma,$17,060 extra for pregnancy, $26,180 extra for rheumatoid arthritis and $140,510 for metastatic cancer.
Twenty Republican state officials and the Trump administration have teamed up to ask a federal court to overturn protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Republicans have also revived the very type of junk insurance plans that discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions from the life support the Affordable Care Act rightly put them on.
The list goes on.
Confronted with consistent, passionate opposition from the public, Republicans aren't relenting their attacks on people with pre-existing conditions. Instead, they're just trying to cover their tracks.
In a move that would make George Orwell proud, congressional Republicans, whose votes to repeal the ACA actually would gut protections for pre-existing conditions and whose leaders continue to call for repeal, are now running ads that falsely claim it was a vote to uphold those protections.
At least 20 Republican incumbents have scrubbed their websites to soften their pro-repeal rhetoric. In Missouri, Senate candidate and current state Attorney General Josh Hawley has claimed that he wants to protect pre-existing conditions,while simultaneously asking a federal court to eviscerate them overnight. Others have introduced sham legislation as publicity stunts that, upon closer inspection, would actually undermine the pre-existing conditions protections in current law.
The trouble for Republicans this November is this: The American people are not stupid. We've all watched as Republicans have worked in plain sight to rip health care away from so many of us, including the millions of people living with pre-existing conditions. As Republicans desperately try to conceal this record from voters, we are all left to wonder: Have they no shame?
Undermining pre-existing conditions protections has been central to their health care agenda for eight years now. It's time that they own up to it.

Jim Duffett is the executive director of Doctors for America, a national movement of doctors and medical students working to ensure that everyone has access to affordable, high quality care.

Many people have heard the term stem cell therapy in the media and on the internet. It's been discussed theoretically for years as a promising new therapy to treat anything from congenital disorders to organ failure to the ails of aging. We get a lot of questions in our office about stem cell therapy, usually from patients with a musculoskeletal issue, they're looking to treat or for longevity and anti-aging. So we wanted to answer many of the questions that come up regarding stem cell treatments and what the future of regenerative medicine looks like.
Regenerative Injection Therapies Used to Treat Injuries
For years people have been using regenerative therapies to treat injuries and wear and tear on the musculoskeletal system like arthritis, sports injuries, strains, sprains, etc. The oldest of these is prolotherapy, which is short for proliferative therapy. The principal of this treatment is to inject a mild irritant near the damaged structure, usually, a sterilized sugar-water solution, to intentionally create a small amount of inflammation in the area, which would in turn attract more blood flow and repair cells. There are some very positive results patients have seen with prolotherapy including tendinopathies, knee and finger joint OA, and spinal/pelvic pain due to ligament dysfunction [1]. Some studies have shown little improvement with administration of prolotherapy such as with Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciopathy and OsgoodSchlatter disease [2]. The upside of prolotherapy is that it's relatively inexpensive and widely available. The downside is that patients tend to be more sore after receiving the injections, may require many more injections to attain a similar result from other injection therapies, and results can be more variable.
At Pure Vitality, we offer Prolotherapy in Los Angeles.
PRP Injection Therapy: the Game Changer
The next great leap in regenerative joint injection therapy was the discovery and utilization of PRP. PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma and is a component of blood. All of us contain platelets in our blood that help produce clots when we have tissue damage or get cut. The platelets help form a physical block to the damaged vessels which helps stop bleeding. Years ago we thought that was the only utility platelets had. Much later in the 2000s they started being used for helping surgical grafts to heal and other uses for platelets were explored. We discovered that platelets contain powerful tissue growth factors like transforming growth factor beta and platelet-derived growth factor [3].
These growth factors present a tremendous potential for stimulating tissue growth in damaged areas of the body [4]. Techniques were
developed to concentrate the platelet layer from a blood sample and this concentrated platelet later can then be injected into a damaged area often with miraculous results [5,6,7]. Many patients find that they need fewer injections of PRP to get equivalent results compared to prolotherapy and often experience less soreness after injections. The downside is that the treatments are more expensive and will require the patient receive a blood draw in order to extract the platelets. Many famous athletes like Tiger Woods, Hines Ward, and Rafael Nadal have received PRP injections to successfully heal sports injuries [8,9]. At Pure Vitality we offer PRP Treatment Los Angeles
Stem Cell Injection Therapy: The Holy Grail?
The next great advancement in regenerative injection therapies is stem cell therapy. There have been many famous athletes that have gotten media attention for going to places like Germany to receive stem cell treatments. First, let's outline the three most common sources for harvesting stem cells. All of us have stem cells in our bodies that lie dormant until they're induced to differentiate and multiply. The first two sources are from the patient themselves. Fat tissue and bone marrow present two of the most easily accessible sources of stem cells in the body. Both require a large needle to extract the stem cells and there are various amounts of discomfort associated with the procedure. After the tissue extraction, the cells often need to be separated from the surrounding connective tissue and concentrated prior to injecting. Handling these tissue requires a specialized room and to keep the cells alive they need to be fed glucose and kept at body temperature.
So what's the difference between adipose-derived and bone marrow-derived stem cells? Both are considered autologous since the stem cells are being harvested from your own body. Both tissue types also contain mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Bone marrow-derived stem cell transplant is the more established procedure that has been used longer. However, bone marrow contains many more nucleated cells (including white blood cells that can impede the healing response) that need to be separated and the overall MCS count from bone marrow is far lower that adipose-derived stem cells. Additionally, many people find a bone marrow aspiration procedure to be very painful. Adipose-derived stem cell harvesting tends to be less uncomfortable, has fewer nucleated cells to filter out, and can yield up with 10x more MCS per sample. Another important feature to consider when looking for a stem cell procedure is which yields more colony forming units (CFU). This is the ability for a group of stem cells to actively divide and become a tissue graft. In the case of adipose MCS, they have up to a 50 fold greater ability to create CFU. Other studies have found adipose-derive stem cells to have higher proliferation capacity especially in regard to neuronal tissue[11]. So adipose-derived stem cells may be a better bet when seeking an autologous stem cell transplant.
The other main option that is becoming more widely available is harvesting and using MCS from healthy placentas, umbilical cords, and amniotic fluid. These cells can be harvested and banked for that individual to use when they're older if the need arises. The idea is that if you encounter a major problem with one of your organs or undergo major surgery, these stem cells could potentially be employed to regenerate new tissues, even possibly entire organs. Similarly, these MSC can be used in other individuals other than the host. The cells contained in these tissues are different from your own MCS in that they're younger and they're not yours. Ordinarily, when someone receives tissue from a donor there are concerns about tissue rejection. That's why in order for a patient to receive a liver or kidney from someone else, they often need to be on tissue rejection drugs. All of our cells have an identification protein, which identifies them as our cells as uniquely different from another person's cells. When our immune system encounters something with a different name-tag or MHC, it goes on the attack. That's the basis for tissue rejection. So the drugs people
are given who receive foreign organs are immune suppressants. With MSC from placentas, cords, and amniotic fluid, however, have very little MHC expression so they don't tend to trigger any immune compatibility issues if used in other people [12,13].
Aside from stem cells themselves, there are tissue fragments, growth factors, and other potentially beneficial agents found in umbilical cords, placentas, and amnionic fluid [14]. Some companies have developed techniques to process and stabilize these elements for therapeutic administration. They may have an overall stimulating effect and aid in tissue regeneration but they are not themselves viable stem cells despite what some companies may claim.
Placental derive stem cells seem to have some tangible differences from autologous stem cells, the first being that they seem to have a greater immunomodulatory action [15,16]. Placental and cord cells also express high amounts of hepatocyte growth factor and CD200. Hepatocyte growth factor is important in angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels), the formation of muscle, stimulates T-cells and is involved in optimizing wound healing [17,18].
If one decides to go the route of a MCS treatment from cord, placenta or amnionic fluid which company should you go with? That's a big question and one that's not always a clear answer. Most of the companies out there claiming to offer stem cell products likely are not containing live viable stem cells, at least in appreciable concentrations. Some of the companies are selling room-temp stable products with growth factors, some are selling product that needs to be on liquid nitrogen. Clearly, the room temperature products don't contain viable stem cells. Stem cells once they're removed from living tissue either have to be used immediately in a living host or they need to be kept at body temp and fed sugars, or they need to be cryopreserved. So room temp versions of products are clearly not containing living cells. They still likely contain growth factors and these can be used for therapeutic potential just like PRP, however ,whether they're superior to PRP remains to be seen.
Another factor to consider when selecting a MSC company to use is whether they can provide flow cytometry results. Flow cytometry is how you can evaluate cell number and type in a sample. If a company is hesitant to provide that information or doesn't have it, they are likely selling a non-living product. Some companies will try and get around providing this information by giving other markers of viability like CFU.
CFU stands for colony forming unit and is a marker of tissue growth. Since many stem cell products and extracts contain growth factors, there is some amount of CFUs that can be expected even if the stem cells themselves are not living. So this is not a replacement for flow cytometry results.
I would also like to point out that among the various MCS products, some companies differentiate products that are intended for joint or soft-tissue injections versus applications for intravenous use. The intravenous use products should have a more flowable consistency to minimize risk of vessel obstruction.
Some have argued that since placental and cord derived stem cells are primordial, they may have greater healing potential than harvesting one's own aged cells. Whether or not this is true remains to be seen. Both sources of MSC seem to have therapy potential. Just be forewarned that if you choose a MCS product from cord, placenta or amnionic fluid, it may not actually contain viable cells.
So when and where can someone most successfully use each of these three regenerative injection therapies?
Obviously that's on a case-by-case basis and the reason doctors such as myself have an in-depth initial visit. For musculoskeletal issues, all three options are viable ones. Cost is definitely a consideration. Prolotherapy is cheapest option for treating musculoskeletal issues. In fact there is an organization that has done volunteer work in Honduras for many years to give access to regenerative joint injections for underserved peoples. The cost of supplies is low, mostly you're paying for someone's expertise in treating the specific condition or their level of training. Prolotherapy has also been around the longest and is very well-established.
PRP is another great option for treating musculoskeletal issues. Is does incur higher cost since the materials are more expensive and the patient must allow a blood draw to harvest the sample for processing. I personally love PRP and find people experience excellent results with a wide variety of conditions. I have personally had the most success using PRP to treat whiplash injuries, hip osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis, knee ligament tears, ankle ligament tears, and shoulder labrum tears. I have not yet seen PRP therapy be successful for plantar fasciitis likely owing to that condition being more of a biomechanical issue that needs to be corrected.
With regard to the most expensive and newest option on the table, Stem Cell treatments have definitely garnered a lot of hype. I feel that if you're administering the correct stem cell product, there is huge potential for healing. Keep in mind that your options here are autologous cells pulled from your own bone marrow or fat tissue for injection or purchasing a cord, placenta, amnionic product. Knees and other encapsulated joints with low amount of blood flow may not be the best site for a live stem cell injection since the synovial fluid may not sustain stem cell growth. However knees and all other sites may be good candidates for growth factor administration just like with PRP. I know many physicians who swear by fatderived injections for musculoskeletal issues and some neurodegenerative issues. The literature not unified, however, with regard to which conditions respond best to which stem cell preparation. There is a lot of variabilities in patients and in stem cell products. It is important to discuss that with the patient to provide full informed consent about any treatment that's on the table.

Akaviri Dragonguard is a heavy armor set. The 5-pice bonus reduces the cost of your Ultimate abilities by 15%.
15% is actually a huge chunk of your ultimate, especially with high-cost ultimate abilities like Standard of Might, Elemental Storm, Barrier, or the Warhorn ultimate. These all cost 250 ultimate points, but Akaviri Dragonguard will give you a 37.5 point deduction, bringing their cost down to 212.5. This set is most commonly used on tanks to get their Ultimate ability ready a lot faster.
Akaviri Dragonguard is part of the base game and drops in Eastmarch in the Overland content. You can also find it on Guild Traders. Each set item is bound on equip. You can acquire heavy armor, jewelry and weapons for this set in the Nord motif style.

10th District Legislators to Introduce Bill to Make Offenders Pay for Rescue & Recovery Operations
Please Share:
Senator Jim Holzapfel and Assemblymen Greg McGuckin and Dave Wolfe of the 10th Legislative District will introduce legislation allowing courts to hold certain offenders responsible for the cost of rescue and recovery operations.
The measure was drafted after a pickup truck fell through the ice after being driven onto the frozen Toms River, reportedly to do "donuts," prompting an emergency search and recovery effort by local emergency responders and the State Police and Coast Guard.
"The massive emergency rescue mission in Toms River resulted from intentional activity that likely violated the law," said Holzapfel. "Taxpayers should not have to bear the burden of paying for someone else's stupidity."
In the Toms River incident, the driver was able to escape to safety with the help of nearby friends, but his dog was later found deceased within the submerged truck.
According to the bill, a court would be authorized to impose the expense incurred by a public entity for the rescue and recovery of a person, and the person's pet or property if applicable, upon a person found to be in violation of certain criminal mischief and motor vehicle operation laws.
"The rescue mission in Toms River required the help of state and local police, first aid responders and local firefighters," said Assemblyman McGuckin. "All of those people were put at risk as a result of the driver's bad choices. In instances like this, the offender should be required to pay the full cost of the resulting emergency response."
As stated in the bill, if a person is found guilty of criminal mischief and reckless driving, careless driving or driving or operating a vehicle in an unsafe manner, the court may assess the value of emergency services provided arising from those violations.
"We need to ensure the safety of our police and first responders who work daily to protect and serve our residents and community," added Assemblyman Wolfe. "A bill like this may make potential offenders think twice before doing something stupid that could put other people's lives at risk."

Meme Tag
I have refrained from using the term "Old Fart" to describe my blogging buddy, Bill. I have refrained because I am a lady, and because Bill is younger than I -- and I am not old. However, since Bill has "blessed" me with this charming meme, I have developed a new appreciation for at least half of his chosen nickname.
(Just kidding Bill.)I wish: - I was more... tidy. - I was more... affluent. - I was more... observant. - I was more... energetic. I hear ... the toaster oven timer ticking. I wonder ... why Bill thought I wanted to do this. I regret ... words spoken; words unspoken. I am ... original and unique. I dance ... much to the dismay of others. I sing ... much to the distress of my friends. I cry ... over sentimental things. I am not ... always confident. I make with my hands ... messes. I write ... not enough. I confuse ... everybody. I need ... Jesus. And finally: TAG! -- It's your turn, Rob and Tina.

Today I finally made the decision to continue with my studies and to follow CIMA rather than ACCA.
After spending the last three and a half years working full time and studying part time to complete my AAT I was unsure as to whether I wished to continue. You do have to give up a lot of your time, and I knew CIMA/ACCA would be even more time consuming and intense.
I also knew that if I did want to continue my studies, it would have to be sooner rather than later; for one thing, the longer I left it, the harder it would be to get back into the discipline of studying.
And for another thing, there is no way that I could afford to pay for the course myself. Luckily my employers are able to cover 75% of the costs (excluding subscriptions and any resit fees) and will also give me 50% of the time needed for tutorial attendance and exams (in other words, for every day I take to go to a tutorial, I only need to make up half the hours, similarly if I attend a weekend study day, I get a half day off in the week). The downside to this is that I must remain in the employ of my current, well, employers, for at least two years after I complete my exams, otherwise I would be required to pay everything back, potentially almost £10k.
Do I want to be tied down for this long? Especially as I tend to get itchy feet after two years.
Well I decided to bite the bullet and go for it, my recent pay rise will just about cover my share of the course fees which will be deducted from my wages on a monthly basis (hopefully before tax is deducted so that I can save a little).
It has been a shock to learn that although my AAT qualifications exempt me from 5 exams (that just leaves the 11 to do then!), if I actually want to be exempted I have to pay £49 per exam, a total of £245. Surely the certificates I hold should be enough for the exemptions, or even an email from the AAT, I would be happy to pay an admin fee of £10 or so for this.
So Monday I have to go and see the Boss Man, shouldn't be any issues as he was encouraging me to continue, I have costed up three different methods of study ranging from no tuition/books only to a guaranteed pass course. Once I know how much my employers are willing to spend I can register and get started.
Wish me luck!

POSTPONED - 26th Annual Seafood Blues and Jazz Festival featuring 4-Time Grammy Winner Delbert McClinton
April 24, 2021
March 13, 2020
Seafood Blues & Jazz Festival Friends
We were hoping for a different outcome, however; out of an abundance of caution we must postpone our upcoming 2020 26th Annual Pleasure Island Seafood Blues & Jazz Festival scheduled for Saturday, April 18th, 2020.
This was not an easy decision, but in the long run, it is the prudent and correct decision.
We know this announcement will be debated on both sides of the issue, however NC Governor Cooper made it very clear yesterday in his News Conference - Please cancel or postpone all gatherings of 100 people or more for the foreseeable future.
The Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce has been closely monitoring the decisions to cancel/postpone other local and state festivals and events; realizing that there are many factors unique to each events' decision to cancel/postpone. Our decision was made at the direction of State and local officials. We have been in constant communication with our local emergency management team for weeks and as of today, we have decided it is in the best interest of our community to cancel the 2020 26th Annual Pleasure Island Seafood Blues & Jazz Festival scheduled for Saturday, April 18th, 2020.
We love our Island community & surrounding areas and all its many visitors, so we'd like to take this moment to encourage you in this trying time to think about those most at risk. Please follow the advice of the CDC officials regarding how to limit the spread of the virus, which includes proper handwashing, sanitizing environments, and staying isolated from others if feeling sick. Please consider how cancellations/postponements and closings might affect families and children most in need and please help wherever you can. Support local and small businesses when you can.
We are currently working with Delbert McClinton people, the Ft. Fisher Air Force Recreation Area as well as Soundwave Technical Services to re-schedule this event for the Fall of 2020. The Pleasure Island Chamber and the SB&J Festival is a non-profit organization and relies solely on the generous sponsor donations and ticket sales. The Seafood Blues & Jazz Festival depends on over 200 volunteers, a Board of Directors of 16 and a full-time staff of 2. We are diligent in coordinating and revising all the components that were in motion. We have many people to contact; including sponsors, volunteers, and of course, our guests. Please know we will be in contact as soon as we can with more information. The latest information will be posted on our website www.PleasureIslandNC.org as it becomes available.
In the interim, please take all necessary measures to keep yourself and your loved ones safe, take care of your friends and neighbors, and together we will get through this unprecedented time.
Stay safe, wash your hands and make smart decisions in the days to come,
Board of Directors and Staff
Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce
Four-Time Grammy Winner Delbert McClinton to Headline
the 26th Annual Pleasure Island Seafood Blues Festival
Ft. Fisher Air Force Recreation Area ∙ Kure Beach, NC 28428
"Roots music visionary" (Rolling Stone) Delbert McClinton and Self-Made Men + Dana returns to headline the 26th Annual Pleasure Island Seafood Blues & Jazz Festival in support of his swaggering and swingin' new album, Tall, Dark & Handsome, which recently garnered Delbert his 4th Grammy Award for the 2020 Best Traditional Blues Album! McClinton will feature 14 new, original songs - all written or co-written by Delbert - the new music dives deep into the blues, Americana and beyond, bursting with horns, fiddle, accordion, blazing guitar work, back-up singers and McClinton's charismatic rasp, proving Lyle Lovett's claim that "if we could all sing like we want to, we'd all sound like Delbert McClinton."
Tall, Dark & Handsome features Delbert's band the Self-Made Men + Dana: Dana Robbins (saxophone), Jack Bruno (drums), Mike Joyce (bass), Bob Britt (guitar), James Pennebaker (guitar), Kevin McKendree (keyboards), Quentin Ware (trumpet), Dennis Wage (keyboards).
McClinton has four GRAMMY Awards, and his previous three albums have all reached # 1 or #2 on Billboard's Blues chart. With over 60 years of recording and touring to his credit, McClinton is a true musical zelig: He toured with the Beatles, backed Bo Diddley and Howlin' Wolf, helped to inspire The Blues Brothers, and performed everywhere from SNL to Austin City Limits (both multiple times) along the way. His songs have been covered by Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Waylon Jennings, and Wynonna Judd - to name a few.
This "Godfather of Americana" will bring his special magic to the 26th Annual Pleasure Island Seafood Blues Festival Ft. Fisher Air Force Recreation Area ∙ Kure Beach, NC on Saturday, April 18th, 2020.
THE LEGENDARY FESTIVAL CONTINUES... Over two Decades of Seafood Blues & Jazz at the Beach!

to get good night sleep
Thread count is the number of threads woven together in 1 square inch of fabric.
t's not just about the number of threads — it's about the quality of the threads themselves. If you like to get cozy at night or live in a colder climate, you can buy Egyptian cotton-polyester blend sheets.But if you run hot — you always end up kicking the covers off around 4 a.m. — you should opt for 100% cottonThread count is often used as the barometer of the best bed sheets' smoothness and durability. However, this measurement—which should refer to the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric—isn't always reliable. High thread count is a factor, but the type of cotton can be more significant.
Top-of-the-line is 100 percent Egyptian cotton. Second best is 100 percent pima cotton, also known by the trademarked name Supima. If a label says simply, "100 percent cotton," assume that it's American upland cotton, a rougher, less expensive variety. Egyptian cotton's long fibers produce sheets that are thin and sumptuous yet extremely strong and long-lasting. (The shorter fibers of upland cotton, by contrast, can poke out of the weave, leading to a coarser, weaker fabric.) Pima cotton is also soft and less likely to pill than upland cotton. You can find a good queen set made of pima for less than $200. If you want the best, you'll invest about $500 in an Egyptian-cotton set in percale or sateen—both clean, classic weaves.
A cotton-polyester blend, often marketed as "easy care," is a smart choice, since it withstands frequent washings well. A little poly is all you need—a 90/10 blend is durable, looks crisp right out of the dryer, and is still soft and cozy. But don't go above 30 percent synthetic: The sheets won't feel great and could make the sleeper sweat. most comfortable bed sheets.
Cras eleifend magna et consequat ultrices. Phasellus sodales placerat ullamcorper. Vivamus sed scelerisque augue, a ultricies erat. Aenean felis nibh, aliquam non turpis et, tincidunt commodo tellus. Quisque tellus nisi, congue vitae mi a, ullamcorper luctus nunc. Nulla vel urna tellus. Aliquam non elementum enim. Maecenas volutpat ex ut nibh rhoncus, quis finibus orci venenatis.
"Etiam nec libero volutpat nisi pellentesque iaculis lobortis ac dui. Duis porta justo metus, eleifend vulputate ipsum volutpat vel."
The type of material you choose for your sheets has everything to do with personal preference. Think about it: it's what you're wearing eight hours a day.
- Cotton: The best quality (and most expensive) is 100% Egyptian, which has extra-long-staple fibers that produce sumptuous, yet extremely durable sheets.
- Pima or Supima cotton: A medium-to-extra-long staple fibers material, is known for its softness and sheen and is a little more affordable than Egyptian cotton.
- Linen: Ideal for hot climates, linen sheets are some of the most expensive out there, but will last for decades.For an already worn-in look and feel, "I love all the enzyme-washed linens on the market right now," Lemieux says. "They're soft and durable, and improve with age."
- Poly-blend sheets: Easy and resistant to wrinkles.
3. Weave
The way sheets are woven have a direct impact on how they feel. Lemieux's fave, percale, is lightweight and tightly woven, which results in crisp, cool, bedding, while microfiber's super-tight, dense weave makes it wrinkle-resistant, extra-soft, and resistant to water. Some other weaves to consider: ultra-soft and lustrous sateen, and flannel, with a nappy texture perfect for cooler climates.

More than 100 children, young people, parents and carers were given a VIP reception as they attended the council's annual Looked After Children's Education Achievement awards last week.
Mayor of Bexley Eileen Pallen gave the children a special welcome as they walked up the red carpet, with camera flashlights and a velvet rope marking their entrance.
The annual event was established to celebrate the educational achievements of the borough's looked-after children and give them a special night to remember.
Youngsters were able to take part in a range of fun activities, including a photo booth, face painting, a chocolate fountain, cake decorating, balloon modelling, origami, mug decorating, flower arranging and computer games.
There was also a chance to meet the real engine driver of the Hogwarts Express, Leon Bond, who was on hand to sign autographs and pose for pictures.
At the start of the event, the council's director for children's services, Jacky Tiotto, reminded guests that they were fantastic and asked those old enough in the audience or their carers to tweet why using the hashtag #youarefantastic.
Rose Bruford students provided the atmospheric lighting for the event and Bird College helped produce the entertainment following a special summer programme they ran with some of the young people at the event.
Council leader Teresa O'Neill said: This event gets bigger and better each year. I can't thank the sponsors and staff enough for their involvement and support.
"Each year they give up their time and services free of charge to give our children and young people an amazing night.
"Our virtual school team are also involved, working with our young people every week at the homework club, helping with the performance preparation over the summer and readying the awards on the night.
"Each and every one of the children and young people present have faced some kind of upheaval that led to them being in our care.
"As their corporate parents we owe it to them to remind them that they are fantastic and that their achievements should be recognised – and that's exactly what we do every year!"

The Tetris & Pong watch keeps you addicted
Anyone who has ever played Tetris and become totally absorbed in the experience knows that when you stop playing, those shapes can be seen in your mind's eye for some time afterward. You can either quit cold turkey, or you can find a convenient way to play even more when there is no game console in front of you.
That's where the Tetris watch comes in. It is Tetris in watch form and will keep any Tetris fanatic happily addicted when they should be getting work done. Why they even bother to put the time on, I have no idea. Time means nothing when you are in Tetris-land.
