Expert guide to pillows
Our extensive range of over 40 pillow types includes specialist items like memory foam pillows for responsive comfort, orthopaedic V-shaped pillows for support when sitting, and anti-allergy pillows to actively combat dust mites.
With top name bedding brands like Dorma and Fogarty as well as our own Dunelm label bedding, quality and value is guaranteed.
How do you sleep?
The position you nod off in will help you narrow down your ideal pillow, with soft support pillows for front sleepers, medium support pillows for back sleepers and firm support if you snooze on your side.
|Support recommendation
We recommend white duck or goose down & softer polyester fillings
We recommend a feather & down mix, and medium polyester fillings
Firm pillow for spine alignment
We recommend white goose or duck feather, and memory foam fillings
Pillow fillings
Pillow firmness is determined by the type of filling. The aim is to get the correct support for sleep that will
leave you refreshed, and while care levels might be a consideration it all comes down to what is most comfortable for you.
Are natural fibre pillows better than synthetic fibre pillows?
There are great benefits for both kinds of pillow, so it all depends on how you like to sleep. Generally speaking, natural filled pillows offer specialised support, where synthetic fibre pillows can be used to create any level of firmness. If you sleep on your side you'll benefit from the full head and shoulder support of a memory foam pillow or down pillow to keep your spine aligned.
Front sleepers need to minimise neck strain so down or super soft synthetic fibres will be all you need for undisturbed slumber. Back sleepers are most comfortable with shoulder support, so the medium firmness given by mixed feather and down or medium synthetic pillows are ideal.
Pillow shapes and sizes
From an aesthetic perspective the size of your bed is likely to have some bearing on the pillow size you choose. Kingsize pillows are longer so they provide edge to edge coverage for king size beds, while bolster pillows (also known as body pillows) can be used to offer body length support.
One pillow at the perfect height is ideal for most people as it will stay in place all night and provide consistent support, where two pillows can slip beneath the weight and movement of your head.
We have bed linen to fit all the sizes of bedding we sell including more unusual shaped items, like our v-shaped pillows and bolster cushions.
|Pillow size chart
|Standard pillow
48x74cm (19"x29")
The most common pillow size, fits inside any standard pillowcase
|King size pillow
91x48cm (36"x19")
Longer for the added width of king size beds, need larger pillowcases
|Body or bolster pillow
137x48cm (54"x19")
Body length support, great for back pain sufferers & pregnant women
|V shaped pillow
168x33cm (66"x13")
Orthopaedic support for sitting up in bed or sleeping upright in a chair
When should I replace my pillows?
Over time even the most perfect pillow will start to show signs of wear, and become less supportive of your head, neck and spine. The best thing to do if you suspect your pillow has reached the end of its life, is to check they still have the body needed to keep you comfortable.
How to test your pillows
Feather and down pillow check: Fold your pillow in half, place it on a table and press down to squeeze out all of the air. Then take your hands off and see if the pillow is able to fluff up and unfold. If it returns to its original shape, the filling is sufficient to support you, if not, your pillow needs replacing.
Synthetic pillow check: Place your pillow on the table, folded in half and rest an average sized paperback on the top, or any object of a similar weight. If your pillow filling is still healthy, the weight should be tossed from the top of the pillow as it springs back into shape. If the pillow is held in place by the weight, the filling is no longer suitable and it's time to get a new one.
Caring for your bedding
We recommend you use duvet protectors and pillow protectors on all of your bedding for an economical way to preserve the quality of your bedding.
Made from anti-allergenic hollowfibre our bedding protectors are suitable for the whole family, helping to reduce the need for washing and defend against dust mites.
We also offer a wide range of waterproof bedding protection to defend against accidents.
- Always follow the care instructions found on a label sewn into a seam or on the original packaging.
- Dry and air your bedding thoroughly before returning it to your bed.
- Please note, natural fibre bedding cannot be dry cleaned as chemicals will damage the fillings.

I don't blame him. I was frustrated just watching that fight. It was a game of tag and run.
UFC lightweight Nate Diaz talks with Ariel Helwani about his main event fight with Jim Miller at UFC On FOX 3 and bother Nicks retirement.
Nick was suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) for a positve test for Marijuana following his loss to Carlos Condit at UFC 143. Nate explains whats next,
"Triathalon season is starting so he's getting ready, getting in shape for that and concentrating on being in shape, being healthy and helping me out and coaching me for this fight [against Jim Miller]. Right now, I don't think [we will see him back inside the Octagon]. He's big on, like I said, staying in shape and just being healthy right now. He's not worried about it. I think he's retired. He hasn't been into this whole fighting thing for some time … since everything that goes on with the funny wins and losses. And not just for him, but for people on our team. So, I just think he's relaxed right now, you know? I think he's pretty set on his retirement, though. I kind of agree with him [about his decision]. It's hard to say — he's my brother. I'm not going to tell him to go fight somebody. I think he's doing the right thing. He made enough money to just chill back, sit back and relax. People don't understand: Nick never had nothing. He came from not much, so when he complained a lot about not making a lot of money it's because there were so many people making more money than him and he works 10 times hard than them. So, they definitely paid him enough money to not have to anything. He doesn't need to fight." [MMAFighting]
What do you think, is Nick Diaz done fighting?
Watch the full interview below,
I don't blame him. I was frustrated just watching that fight. It was a game of tag and run.
Perfect strategy in my opinion. I enjoyed watching it. It reminded me of Franky Edgar vs BJ Penn.
It was the perfect strategy. But not perfect for a champion.
Tell me how many times Frankie Edgar turned his back on BJ Penn VS. how many times Condit turned his back on Diaz?
One showed he was skilled and out classed the other guy and in the other fight we have a guy who was instructed to strategically win a five rounder by points. I was a hardcore Condit fan but that wasn't the fighter that I was a fan of in the WEC.
Seems that everyone saw the condit /diaz fight through different colored glasses, but that cool everybody has their own opinion, mine is condit lost. But that aside now we have condit and the paper champ set for a match in November? I guess condit needs that time to recoup from his leg cramps that he got in the diaz fight. The fight in November will just be a rabbit race, personally i will not get the PPV i will read about it on the net the next day. The scoring system needs a definite overhaul but dana will let it stands because it creates controversy and dana loves that.
Haha. Yeah I heard he got a 120 hour medical suspension for suffering from leg cramps.
Diaz had no reason to retire because everyone was cheering for him in that fight. Yeah you lost but so what. Learn how to fight a guy like Condit because every single fighter learned how to beat Diaz that night.
Hw won't retire. He has no choice for now but to do triatholon and other sports until he could fight again. I love Nick Diaz the fighter but he does some stupid ass things when he is not fighting. He seemed like a great guy when I met him at a BJJ event in 2005 but he needs to put that weed down.

Iran plans enrichment sites in defiance of UN
The new sites are to be built inside mountains to protect them from possible attacks, said Salehi, Iran's nuclear chief. They will also use a new generation of more efficient and more productive centrifuges that Iran has been working to construct, he and Ahmadinejad said.
In Vienna, spokeswoman Gillian Tudor said the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency would have no comment on Tehran's announcement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for "a concentration of sanctions and pressure on the Iranian regime, which is vulnerable economically" to rein in its nuclear ambitions. Israel has not ruled out military strikes against Iranian nuclear sites if its program is not stopped.
The IAEA censure against Iran on Friday was seen as a show of international unity behind demands that Tehran rein in its nuclear program – though there does not yet appear to be consensus on imposing sanctions.
The IAEA resolution criticized Iran for secretly building the Fordo site and defying the U.N. Security Council call for a suspension of enrichment.
It noted that IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei cannot confirm that Tehran's nuclear program is exclusively geared toward peaceful uses, and expressed "serious concern" that Iran's stonewalling of an agency probe means "the possibility of military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program" cannot be excluded.
The U.N. seeks to stop Iran's enrichment, because the process can be used to produce either fuel for a reactor or a warhead. In the process, uranium gas is spun in centrifuges to be purified – to a low degree for fuel, to a higher level for a bomb. Iran denies U.S. claims that it secretly aims to produce a nuclear weapon.
The United States and the top powers at the U.N. have been focused on winning Iran's acceptance of a deal under which it would ship abroad most of its low-enriched uranium stocks to be processed into fuel rods for a research reactor in Tehran. The move would leave Iran – at least temporarily – without enough uranium to produce a bomb.
But Iran has balked, presenting a counter-proposal with various changes. The West has demanded it accept the proposal as is.
In the wake of the IAEA rebuke, Iran has sought to signal that it can lash back if pushed. On Saturday, one hard-line lawmaker warned that parliament might withdraw the country from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and stop all U.N. inspections – a move that would sharply escalate the standoff with the West and cut off the U.N.'s only eyes on Iran's nuclear program.
But parliament took a lesser step on Sunday: 226 of the 290 lawmakers signed a letter urging the government to prepare a plan to reduce Tehran's cooperation with the IAEA in response to its resolution.
Iran touted the expansion of enrichment as necessary for its plans to generate 20,000 megawatts of electricity through multiple nuclear power plants in the next 20 years.
Ahmadinejad said 500,000 centrifuges will be needed in the new plants to produce between 250 to 300 tons of fuel annually, IRNA reported. About 8,600 centrifuges have been set up in Natanz, but only about 4,000 are actively enriching uranium, according to the IAEA. The facility will eventually house 54,000 centrifuges. The Fordo site is smaller, built for nearly 3,000 centrifuges.
Associated Press writers George Jahn in Vienna and Matthew Lee in Washington contributed to this report.

Ken Griffey Jr. was honored Sunday with the Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award, which recognizes achievements and contributions of historical significance in Major League Baseball.
Commissioner Bud Selig presented the award to Griffey in Arlington, Texas, on Sunday night in a ceremony before Game 4 of the World Series, reports MLB.com.
Griffey, who played for the Seattle Mariners from 1989-99 and again from 2009 until June 2010, thrilled baseball fans throughout his 22-year career -- making 13 All-Star teams, earning 10 Gold Gloves for his defensive prowess in center field, winning the American League Most Valuable Player Award in 1997 and hitting 630 home runs, fifth all-time. He was named to Major League Baseball's All-Century Team in 1999, a month shy of turning 30.
Griffey drew a record 50,044,176 All-Star votes; off the field, he devoted considerable time to numerous charities.
With virtually every endeavor, Griffey said his love of the game is what drove him.
I came in this game just wanting to play baseball, Griffey told MLB.com. It wasn't because I thought I was going to win an award. It was because of the guys that I watched on TV, not necessarily my dad, but everybody else, the smiles on their face.
Griffey's father also had an impressive 19-year Major League career as an outfielder. Griffy recounts how many notable baseball greats, such as Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Willie Stargellsuch-would visit the family home in Cincinnati. Griffey said he and his boyhood friends were especially impressed by Mays.
We were like little kids when he came to the house, Griffey said. He said Mays would discuss the respect that he had for the game and the things that he went through to play this game, that a lot of us will never know and could never fathom what he had to deal with day in and day out. And from that point on, it was just go out and play. He said, 'We did all the hard work. It's time for you to just go out and play and have fun,' and that's the attitude that we all took.
Many creditGriffey's popularity to Major League Baseball's survival in Seattle, where he began his career. The presence of Mariners president Chuck Armstrong and his wife, Susan, at Sunday's ceremony attested to this.
He is Seattle sports history, said former Mariners catcher Dave Valle, now an MLB Network analyst. Whenever you talk about the Northwest, he's front and center, beyond all the people who played there. His legacy there, over the period of time that he played there, he had the biggest impact in that area. He put us on the map.
Griffey -- who played for the Mariners (1989-99, 2009-10), Reds (2000-08) and White Sox ('08) -- is the 12th person to earn the award, which was created in '98. He is the first recipient to receive the award since Jackie Robinson's widow, Rachel, was honored in 2007 for sustaining her husband's legacy.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. A new monitoring approach developed by researchers from The Miriam Hospital could close a major gap by providing the ability to track whether HIV-positive prisoners are getting the community-based HIV care they need once they are released.
Reporting in the journal Virulence, researchers say this new tool could play a major role in preventing the spread of the disease and could guide future strategies to improve the quality of care for prisoners, a population disproportionately affected by HIV.
"Jails and prisons are an opportunity to diagnose and treat inmates with HIV, but when they are released, their care is suddenly interrupted, and many former prisoners may have limited or no access to treatment for many months, or they may stop taking their HIV medications altogether," says lead study author Brian Montague, D.O., of The Miriam Hospital. "This is a huge public health problem, because during this treatment gap, ex-offenders are not only putting their own health in jeopardy, but they are also more likely to infect others."
Although there is a strong national push for continuity of care for HIV-positive inmates transitioning to their communities, Montague says there is no systematic framework to evaluate how successfully these individuals are being connected to and actually receiving care once they are released.
"We need to understand the various factors that influence access to post-release HIV care as well as the quality of care being provided if we want to move the needle on the HIV epidemic," he says. "The method we've developed can be done systematically with existing data and, when validated, could guide future strategies to improve the quality of care for this vulnerable population."
Currently, an estimated 1.1 million people in the United States are infected with HIV. HIV/AIDS rates in jails or prisons are three times greater than that of the general population: each year, an e

Do we say 'in', 'on' or 'at' the street?
I've heard that are differences between American English and British English when talking about streets.
4 answers
I as a BrE native find all the above sentences natural and things I may say including the examples of on (I don't find them Americanisms). Intersection is more American although is understood and used in Britian but tends to be more formal, we are more likely to say junction.
I live at 10 Queens Road.
I live in Queens Road.
My house is on Queens Road.

Thank you very much! Both your answers are very, very good!add comment
Preface, I am a native speaker of AmE. I will get a native BrE speaker to check my answer and add clarification.
When talking about addresses:
-- AmE uses 'on'.
-- BrE uses both, but in different situations,
- 'in' is used to suggest an address ('I live in Kennington Road.')
- 'on' is used to suggest the general location of a larger or very well known place, like a attraction or even a city. ('Greenville is on Highway 57.')
If you are talking about something that is placed on the road, normally both AmE and BrE would use 'in'.
'She's walking in the street!'
'Watch out! There is a tire in the road.'
In some cases, we use 'on', but these might be Americanisms:
'There are a lot of cars on the road today.'
'Be careful of ice on the streets!'
For both, if you are talking about specific locations along the street, the prepostion may change according to the description of the location.
'At the intersection of Kensington and Oxford, turn left.'

(I am a native speaker of AmE)
"There are a lot of cars on the road today" -- in this context, wouldn't that be just another way of saying "there is a lot of traffic" as opposed to making a comment remarking on the number of cars present on the road?
There are a lot of cars on the road today = There is a lot of traffic today
I find that people usually mean traffic when they say "there are a lot of cars on the road today" and so the "on" would lose its literal sense of being physically present on the road.
There are a lot of cars on the road today vs. There are only a few cars on the road today.
"on the road" in this context would be really remarking on the number of cars physically present and "on" the road.
Likewise for "be careful of ice on the streets!"
This is to say that ice has actually formed on the streets as opposed to just being there like the woman walking in/on the street or the tire in/on the road (both of which could be removed from the street). Here, the road itself is covered in ice so ice is truly on the road.
"Be careful of hoodlums in/on the streets" vs. "Be careful of ice in/on the streets." -- ice in the streets doesn't ring as naturally.

The IED blast that killed five CRPF personnel and two ambulance staff members in Dharba area of Bastar on Saturday, police suspect, was planted more than two years back. The CRPF personnel, violating the standard operating procedure, had allegedly boarded the ambulance as one of the elderly inspector in the patrol party was not feeling well.
Chhattisgarh police claims that Maoists have planted many such IEDs on different roads of Bastar and the wires remain conneced with the tree trunks in nearby jungle. Moaists come back to detonate the IED, whenever they get a chance, even when the roads have been reconstructed or macadamized at many places.
Chhattisgarh government also announced compensation of Rs 20 lakh each and a government job to families of polling staff and two ambulance staff members. Besides, as per the government policy each family hit by Maoist violence gets a compensation of Rs 12 lakh.
"This is basically very tough area. Maoists managed to detonate the IED planted more than two years back, otherwise the road at the spot was macadamized and concrete," Bastar superintendent of police, Ajay Yadav told dna. Preliminary investigation, Yadav said revealed that 'a senior inspector in the patrol party was not feeling well and this is when they boarded the Sanjeevni 108 ambulance, that untimately led to the tragedy.'
On Saturday, two days after the elections, twin bomb blasts rocked Bastar killing 14 people, including seven polling staff, who were coming back from election duty. The polling staff was also advised not to use any vehicle and walk the distance.
A government delegation, led by the chief secretary of Chhattisgarh, Vivek Dhand and director general of police, A N Upadhayay, had planned to visit the blast spot in Dharba on Sunday, but could not reach there. They visited Bijapur, where election party was attacked and then moved back to Jagdalpur, where they addressed a presser.
"There was adequate force in Bastar during elections and no EVM machine was damaged during the blast. However, the incidents do reflect the failure of intelligence," Dhand told media in Jagdalpur.
Police as of now has not detained anybody after the incident and search operations are going on in nearby jungles of Dharba and Bijapur.
"We have got some inputs and are hopeful of breakthrough. At least 40 to 50 CRPF companies are still coming back from interiors of Bastar. There is a huge movement of forces going on. We could not have handled the VIP movement here," said Yadav, who his supervising the operation from Dharba.

Oh! I hope I did not say that I thought Verizon was right to censor NARAL!
I was merely analyzing the legal situation.
HA! guess Verizon must've just read my post and reversed their decision pronto! :)
I disagree with your guest's position because the recipients of Naral's messages have Opted-In to receive these messages--perhaps your guest should read the MMA's Code of Conduct/Guidelines of which Verizon is a member (http://mmaglobal.com/modules/article/view.article.php/1220)
Moreover, how is a text message sent to opt-in subscribers any different than calling them? It is still communication between the same parties communicating the same information. Regardless of whether Verizon likes the topic of conversation, it has no right to prohibit the communication UNLESS the recipients complain about the messages.
Carriers claim their networks are private and different than the Internet, yet their real fear is the very commoditization of their services akin to the Internet.
They want it both ways: "our networks are private, therefore we can control what goes over them" yet a Verizon customer can call or send messages to a Sprint subscriber because of interconnection agreements with other carriers --- the same model as the Internet. If Naral changes to T-Mobile, will Verizon try to block its messsages coming from T-Mobile's network???
This is a ridiculous, politically-driven case and your guest is right---it probably won't garner too many fans and will maybe even cost Verizon some customers.
i found out that Verizon also donates to the Discovery Institute, although when I wrote to them, they claim that none of the money was for the "intelligent design" part of that institutes agenda. accountability and bookeeping, anybody?
this actually sounds like a free speech issue - what's next, getting my phone calls monitored..oh, wait..are they monitoring me typing this too?..oh crap!..

An explosion of new location-based Web and mobile services promises new opportunities for marketers.
"Location is going everywhere," or at least it was last week at the third annual O'Reilly Media Where 2.0 Conference in San Jose. This gathering of location-based services and application developers included the mapping big boys, like Tele Atlas; base map and service providers Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo; and networking and service sites Platial and Swivel.
Location-based services (LBSs) are picking up steam as devices become smarter and more integrated into our digital lifestyles. Car rental companies now offer GPS assistance in their vehicles; mobile manufacturers integrate GPS into cell phones; and companies like Garmin now offer GPS tracking in a variety of automotive and lifestyle devices. This proliferation of GPS devices will take advantage of the terabytes of data generated by social networking services to offer relevant content and information at the ultimate crossroads of context -- your location.
What does this mean for advertisers? It's hard to say at this early stage. But after the two-day event, it's clear people want services to address common location- and direction-based needs. From that, the ad opportunities are sure to follow.
Where Am I?
Where 2.0 featured demos of map and media mashups in which users place photos and videos on geographical coordinates on a map. Want to share your journey across Route 66? Use Flickr to drag your images onto a map. For even more precision, wait until GPS technology is integrated into your camera (or likely soon in your camera phone) so your images can automatically be tagged and geocoded with the location in the photo.
Other companies, like GeoVector, have developed services for mobile phones that will identify locations based on the position of a compass-enabled phone. Not sure where you are? Point your phone at a location to find out where you are, what's around you, and why it's relevant. Think of it as pointing and clicking in the real world. GeoVector's services are currently in use in Japan.
What's Around Me?
Looking for a great restaurant? Services like Socialight and Tagzania offer users the ability to tag specific locations on a map with social recommendations. What about shopping? NearbyNow has developed applications that account for real-time mall inventory and prices so shoppers can search for products and find the closest store based on where they are at the moment.
Where Are My Friends?
Want to know where your friends are without having to subscribe to a mobile phone friend-finding service? Check out Hipoqih, where you can monitor your friends' movements through a Web browser or your mobile phone.
If you don't have the time for this, sign up for a proximity alert, set for when your friends reach a specific destination. Years ago, we talked about how the most popular text message was "where r u?" These companies are looking to answer it before you even ask. Dopplr (still in beta) launched a service to help frequent travelers locate fellow traveling friends on the road. Fill out your profile, add your friends, and update your travel plans. Perhaps someone you know will be in the same city when you are.
Where Should I Go, and How Do I Get There?
Google used the conference to officially launch its new "Street View" feature on its Maps service. Now users in select cities can navigate city streets with high-resolution photography that gets so close you can read license plates. Looking to plan a night out in New York City? Check out NYC-based startup UpNext (still in beta). Via a 3-D flythrough navigation system, users can fly through New York City to find places of interest, nightlife, and activities. By leveraging a variety of content provider APIs (define), UpNext is looking to bring city guides to the next level.
According to O'Reilly, location is everywhere. With the social media landscape growing at its current pace, expect to see rapid product development along with unique, first-time opportunities for marketing alliances.

The only pub in the village these days, the Nag's Head was once part of the local manor when built nearly 400 years ago with a number of forges close by. Still very much a traditional village pub, it is handy for those visiting the campsite and moorings at Allhallows, just over a mile away.
A large beer garden is ideal for sunnier days while indoors a log burning fire keeps away the winter chills.
Regular music nights feature soloists and bands, karaoke and comedy nights are all events to look out for .
Darts, and cards can all be played and the pub darts team play to local league standard.
The pub's main claim to fame is that the famous painter Hogarth stayed there once for two days.
a new heated smoking shelter has been added with flat screen tv ideal when football is on( never miss a goal again)

Just be careful... some insurance companies that don't really understand what a yatch policy should be will sell you insurance, but it won't have coverages for things that are very boating specific... like salvage costs in the case of a salvage operation, like clean up and remediation costs in the case of a fuel spill. Also, many non-marine specific insurance companies will not sell you an "agreed value" policy, but an "Actual Cash Value" policy, which is less than useful for many.
With an "agreed value" policy, the boat is covered for essentially an agreed amount...which is usually considerably higher than it's actual cash value in the case of a newer boat... and things like stolen electronics are paid for at the replacement cost, rather than the "actual cash value", minus your deductible.
When you compare quotes, make sure you're comparing apples to apples...

The transfection technology introduces the genetic material directly into the nucleus where it is incorporated into the cell independent of cell division. This is advantageous in that it reduces assay time to a couple of hours versus 24 to 48 hours for standard transfection technologies using liposome mediated delivery (i.e. standard luciferase assays and reporter constructs). In our hands, we have seen expression of proteins in as little as 4 hours using primary T cells. The system is ideally matched for selected primary cell populations, including T, B, NK, CD34+ hematopoetic cells, chondrocytes, cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, stem cells, neurons, and DC cells. Typically, primary cells are often difficult to transfect via non-viral means and often cannot be cultured for 48 hours without changing their functional properties. Although high transfection efficiencies are seen in cell lines such as Jurkats or NIH3T3, cell lines are usually easily transfected by most standard liposomal techniques. Still, the amount of time required for protein expression is far less than standard techniques. Efficiencies are determined by flow cytometry or microscopy (if a construct is tagged with a fluorescent protein or if co-transfected with a labeled control).
The Amaxa system is not restricted to DNA but can also be used for transferring siRNA into cells, especially primary cells. Since siRNA takes anywhere from 24-72 hrs to be effective, a fast delivery and interference is desired. The Nucleofector device is a small modern electroporator with easy to use finger controls. A very nice feature of the machine is that it can be upgraded with new programs as they are developed by Amaxa via a chip card that is provided with the device. The kits are suitable for 25 reactions and contain essentially everything: optimized Nucleofector solution and supplement, cuvettes and pipettes, optimized protocol and helpful kits. The list of available kits for mouse, human, and rat cells is continuously growing.
The only drawbacks to the machine are that if you have a cell system that has not been optimized by Amaxa, such as lab specific clones or cell lines, you will have to use trial and error on each of the programs provided and potentially buy several of the solutions that are sold. Another disadvantage is that you are never told what the Nucleofector solution actually contains. This may be important to know if there are optimizations required even in pre-configured cell kits. The cost of the kits is within reason, however you will have to buy the Nucleofector device which retails for about $10K (USD). Amaxa demos are available and include extensive on-site training and set up, very helpful technical support, and knowledgeable field representatives that follow up and are interested in helping you overcome any problems.
Overall, the Amaxa Nucleofector system and kits are extremely convenient, easy to use, and beneficial for primary cell research where non-viral gene transfer is required. It is also fast, so for easy to use, pre-configured kits that work especially well in primary samples, including patient sample material, it is highly recommended.

Originally written on Shirts With Random Triangles | Last updated 10/28/14
Is being in the SEC already giving first-year Arkansas head football coach Bret Bielema a swelled head? Speaking in front of the Saline County Razorback Club in Benton, Ark., the former Wisconsin HC boasted how he had a better record in the Big Ten than Alabama HC Nick Saban. "The reason the SEC is talked about all the time is one team, because of their dominance. But I didn't come here to play Alabama. I came here to beat Alabama. "You can take Saban's record when he was at Michigan State and when he was a coach in the Big Ten and put it against mine, and he can't compare." Saban had a 34-24-1 in record in five years as HC of Michigan State. Bielema was 68-24 during his seven-year tenure as Wisconsin HC, and went to three Rose Bowls (and lost all three). Sadly for Bielema, he is now in the SEC, where Saban has accumulated four BCS titles as HC of LSU and Alabama. Advantage: Saban. (al.com)

We, Andrea and Torsten Hartmann, have been married for over 25 years and jointly run a musical production and a retail and wholesale music business. We have two children, Daniela (23) and Katrin (22).
After we arrived in 1991 for our first vacation to Florida and experienced the beauty and uniqueness of the state, we decided to make St. Petersburg our second home. After some friends and acquaintances settled there, we decided to purchase a second home in St. Petersburg. Since then we spend every free minute in Florida.
Lots of tips:
You will find our information brochures helpful. Exact instructions from the Tampa airport to the bungalow are provided, as are good places to eat, places of nightlife in St. Petersburg and many other tips for an extraordinary vacation in Florida. A thick book of tips containing information not found in any travel guide is yours upon booking to guarantee you an excellent vacation.
We hope that our website has given you an appetite for the Sunshine State of Florida and especially for St. Petersburg. We would be delighted to greet you personally to our bungalow on the peninsula of Coquina Key.
Torsten Hartmann purchased this villa in 1993
Because it is in the middle of Florida with a lot of attractions nearby

Ten years ago Army Ranger Cameron Morgan left his family's ranch with no plans to return his former sweetheart and the life he'd fled.
Jennie Ward had been injured and her ranch sabotaged, so Cameron was critical to surviving an investigation that was getting riskier by the minute. But keeping his professional distance was nearly impossible, especially after Jennie nearly lost her life on his watch. Still, as his need to guard her mixed with his hunger to find the truth, Cameron found it hard to resist the pull of his old life—not to mention Jennie's offer of a second chance .
"Hi, Angel," he said to the receptionist behind the bleached pine countertop. Cameron wrinkled his nose. "Was there a chemical spill somewhere?"
Angel, the street punk adopted by the agency's owner out of some attempt at being charitable, rolled her eyes. "'Sup?" She barely looked up as she smacked her gum between black lipstickcovered lips while she painted another coat of dead black polish on her clawlike fingernails.
Cameron wrinkled his nose. Ah, the source of the odor. "Do you have to do that here?"
She answered by raising her brows. No wonder memos from Angel were often misspelled and calls were misdirected. With nails like that, she couldn't possibly hit the right keys on the computer keyboard or the telephone switchboard. Despite the everything-black, Goth look, she showed an occasional spark of intelligence that invariably took everyone by surprise and she was puppy-dog loyal to the boss.
"Any messages?" he asked.
"Give me a few, and I'll check." She capped the fingernail polish and shook her hands, blowing on the wet paint.
"A few" meant some time in the next hour or two—if she remembered after the paint fumessubsided and her brain activity reengaged.
Cameron shook his head and continued on to his office.
Before he'd gone five steps, Angel called out, "Hey, wait. I was supposed to tell you something."
Perhaps the cloud of vapor had cleared and she was remembering. Cameron turned and smiled, encouraging the young woman.
Her pale forehead wrinkled and her thickly lined eyes squinted to slits. "Oh, yeah, the boss wants you in the conference room."
"When?" Cameron tapped his Stetson against his thigh.
She stopped chewing her gum long enough to snort and say, "Like, now. I believe her words were ASAP." She resumed blowing on her nails and smacking her gum.
Letters. A S A and P are letters. Cameron inhaled and blew out a calming stream of air before he smiled again. This wasn't the first time Angel had delayed an urgent message or misdirected a memo. He couldn't even count the number of times they'd had to call the repairman to fix the copier after she'd done whatever she did to break it. One of the machine mechanics had gone so far as to nickname her the Angel of Death. "Thanks, Angel. What would we all do without you?" Hire a real secretary?
"I don't know, but you better hurry," she said without looking up.
When Cameron entered the conference room, every gaze turned toward him. Four other agents sat around the table and an elegant blonde stood at the head. He nodded toward his friend, Jack Sanders, seated to his left and then fixed his attention on the woman standing, Evangeline Prescott, head of Prescott Personal Securities. "You wanted to see me?"
With her long blond hair pulled back in a French twist and wearing a medium gray skirt suit, Evangeline was a cool professional with a warm smile. She looked much better than she had when she'd first lost her husband in a plane crash two years ago. Perhaps she was finally moving on.
Evangeline stood with a laser pointer resting in her palm and her back turned to a projected view of a map depicting the state of Colorado. With a brief smile she nodded toward a seat. "Good. You got my message. If you'll take a seat, I'll explain why you're here." She nodded, the few curls that had managed to escape bobbed with the motion. "Remember the disk that arrived at the office during the Nick Warner case?"
The head of Prescott Personal Securities madecaseload. Cameron nodded.
"Cassie deciphered the codes and she's been working with Lenny to figure out what exactly we have and what it means."
"How's that going?" Cameron glanced from Cassie, who hadn't looked up yet, to William Lennard, affectionately nicknamed Lenny, the group's incredibly adept techno geek.
"Good, Cam, real good." The red-haired young man's gaze remained affixed to the computer screen. He clicked the keys and the image on the big screen zoomed closer.
Cameron was used to Lenny being less than communicative at times. When he got wrapped up in solving a computer puzzle, he lost track of everything else, including time and polite conversation. Which made the hairs on the back of Cameron's neck rise. What was Lenny working on now?
Cameron's gaze panned to Mike Lawson and Cassie Allen sitting close together, peering at a printout on the table between them. Mike glanced up and nodded. "We've made a little progress." He nudged Cassie, who looked to Mike first. Deaf since college, she hadn't heard Cameron enter. When she turned toward him, her face lit with a smile. "Hi, Cameron."
He nodded and remained standing. "So what did you find on the disk?" And what does it have to do with me?
"Actually, we think the disk is full of land coordinates. Lenny was just showing us where one of those coordinates is in the state of Colorado. Would you do us the honors?" Evangeline glanced at their techno geek.
Lenny clicked a single key. The projected view zoomed in until Cameron could read the town names—one in particular.
"Are you familiar with a small town northwest of Denver called Dry Wash?" Evangeline used the laser pointer to indicate the position on the map.
Was he familiar? Did spending the first eighteen years of your life count toward familiarity? Cameron molded the brim of the light brown Stetson in his hands. "Yes. It's my hometown." He directed his stare to Evangeline, his eyes narrowing. "But you know that."
Evangeline nodded. "The coordinates pinpoint a location near there. I had Lenny pull up the online county plats and overlay it with the exact coordinates."
Cameron stepped closer to the screen, recognition igniting the nerves in his gut. Lines drawn over an aerial photograph delineated the Bar M Ranch from the Flying W Ranch to the south. The point on the map indicated an area on the border between the two ranches. "The Bar M is my father's ranch and the Flying W belongs to Hank Ward." He glanced at Evangeline. "What's the significance of the location?"
"We don't know exactly, but we know a little more about some of the other coordinates." Evangeline nodded to Lenny. "Show him the other view, please."
"Yes, ma'am." Lenny clicked several keys and a broader view of Colorado appeared on the screen with red dots sprinkled across the map.
"These are some of the other coordinates listed on the disk." She pointed to two of them. "We've researched these two. The land is owned by a company called Tri Corp. Media." She shot a glance toward Mike. "Mike, tell them what you found out about these locations."
Mike's face was poker straight. "They're known to be rich in oil and!they were previously owned by Milo Kardascian and James Durgin, our dead CEOs. They sold their companies and land for cash and shares in Kingston Trust to pay off debt."
"So you have two CEOs who sold out for cash and shares, Tri Corp. Media bought the companies and land and both CEOs are now dead." Cameron shrugged. "Sounds suspicious. Why don't you take it to the police?"
Jack shook his head. "And tell them what? We don't have any solid evidence to point toward Tri Corp. Media. For all we know TCM is just a company that knows when to make a good deal."
Evangeline paced in front of the screen, the light from the projector painting mottled images across her gray suit. "All we have is this land coordinate and the disk. That and a few other puzzle pieces."
"What puzzle pieces?"
Mike jumped in. "Durgin came to us scared he would be the next man murdered from a list of Kingston Trust investors."
None of this was making much sense to Cameron. "Why don't you go to the investment company that manages the trust and get the list of investors?" "That's just it, it's a blind trust," Evangeline responded. "They don't have to share the names of the investors unless we get a court order and send in the police. We don't have enough evidence to do that yet. We're going on supposition."
Lenny raised his hand. "I'm checking into Kingston and hope to know something soon."
Mike added, "There's also Milo Kardascian's connection to the Russian mob through his gambling debts."
"Wait a minute. Do you think the Russian mob is involved in this?" Cameron tapped his hat against his thigh, his brain scrambling to take it all in.
Evangeline's shoulders rose and fell. "We're not certain of anything yet. We do know Kardascian was a habitual gambler. He frequented the mob-run private gambling establishments in Central City where he gambled his way deep into debt."
Jack snorted. "And the mob demands payment in one form or another."
With too many questions and not enough answers, Cameron wasn't liking where this investigation was going. "Do you think the mob or the owners of the trust are going to go after this land because of the oil?"

I'm reading that it still has quite a few issues. At this point it won't work with reality/lux and since this is what I use to render, I can't use 4.5 yet.
That's two of the reasons.
Your plugin sounds fantastic and I would love to use it. I suppose I have to wait though.
Thanks for this information Kasheera. Well, I think by the time Look at my Hair will be ready, I truly hope DAZ will have all those issues fixed and 4.5 will run smooth and without hickups.
About Reality, also INFINITO doesn't work on 4.5 yet. We are all waiting to be final so that also the SDK will, so to finally produce 4.5 release versions.
However, if that shouldn't be the case, I will definitely consider having a 4.0 and a 4.5 version. I don't need to say I really really hope that won't be necessary, because having to organize and handle multiple versions would be so much time-consuming on my side.
