The harsh reality is that under the new playoff system only ten teams will make it to postseason play and out of those ten teams only two will get to fight for the World Series crown. This leaves plenty of other teams who will not be in contention for the 2012 season. This is just a part of the game and the Twins became well aware of this aspect during the 2011 campaign. With the organization coming off of a 94-win season, there was plenty to be hopeful for at the beginning of 2011 but the Twins would not be in contention for any part of the season.
As the 2012 season begins for the Twins and their fans, it is hard to know what to expect from a team who floundered on the field in 2011. There is hope that a healthy Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, and Denard Span can improve one of the worst offenses in the American League. But the starting rotation and bullpen are still full of plenty of question marks to get sorted out in the coming weeks.
One of the questions marks that has been talked a lot about in the Twins blogosphere is Francisco Liriano. He is in the last year of being under team control and this means he can test the free agent waters at the end of the 2012 season. The Twins have waited patiently for Liriano to bloom into the pitcher they feel he can be but that player has only shown up sporadically during his career. Now his days could be numbered with the Twins.
There are a few different situations that could take place for the 2012 season and Liriano might be right in the middle of them. As the trading deadline approaches at the end of July, the team might have to make a tough decision in relation to their left-handed starting pitcher. Here is a look at the way the Twins could approach the Liriano conundrum.
There are so many variables that could impact a trade for Liriano. His performance on the field, the team's performance on the field, and an injury to Liriano could all play a role in the team deciding whether or not to trade him. It will be an interesting plotline to watch in the summer months of the season especially on a team that doesn't have a lot of starting pitchers under contract for 2013.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. Inattention and hyperactivity are key symptoms of ADHD. Symptoms can include having problems sustaining attention in tasks, not listening when spoken to directly, not following through on instructions, failing to finish schoolwork or chores, starting tasks but quickly losing focus, getting easily sidetracked, talking nonstop, blurting out an answer before a question has been completed, finishing other people's sentences, or speaking without waiting for a turn in conversation. Raising a child with ADHD isn't like traditional childrearing. Normal rule-making and household routines can become almost impossible, so you'll need to adopt different approaches. It can be frustrating and disheartening to cope with constant impulsive behaviour from your child. Here are a few tips to help you:
1. Create structure:
Make a routine for your child and stick to it every day. Establish rituals around meals, homework, playtime, and bedtime. Simple daily tasks, such as having your child lay out his or her clothes for the next day can provide structure.
2. Break tasks into smaller chunks:
Breakdown any task into smaller manageable tasks. Have a task list up on a wall and write down any and all tasks the child needs to finish. This way they know what needs to be done and when they need to get it done by.
3. Create a quiet corner:
Create a small quiet space for your child where they can do their homework, reading and have some time to themselves. Make this place a quiet distraction free area for them. Keep this place neat and organized at all times.
4. Promote wait-time:
Children with ADHD often speak out without thinking of what they are saying. It is important to encourage thoughtful responses while doing any work or reading a book. It is important to teach your child how to think before speaking.
5. Declutter the space:
Children with ADHD welcome distractions such as television, video games and computer games. These encourage impulsive behaviour and thus should be regulated. Decreasing time with electronics and increasing time doing engaging activities outside the home, will give your child an outlet for any built-up energy.

Iron deficiency is a common condition in children. It occurs when there is a scarcity of iron in the child's system due to malnutrition. Iron is an extremely important mineral that is required for growth and development in young ones. It is an essential nutrient for formation of Hemoglobin, which transports Oxygen and Carbon dioxide through the bloodstream and it is also essential for the functioning of the muscles. If the child's diet lacks iron then the condition might worsen and turn into anemia.
Children need different levels of iron intake at different ages for proper development of all mental and physical faculties. As the child gets older and reaches the age of puberty, the requirement of iron and other minerals also increases. Deficiency of it causes anemia specific to iron.
Deficiencies can lead to various nutritional disorders that may cause severe complications.
The primary cause of iron deficiency in children is an improper diet which leads to a lack of nourishment. There are a number of other causes of the problem, some of which are as follows:
- Low birth weight
- Excessive intake of cow's milk at less than 2 years of age
- Feeding exclusively on breastmilk beyond 6 months of age
- Lead poisoning
- Gastrointestinal disease or infection
- Improper diet of the mother during pregnancy
- Chronic diarrhea
- Infestation of parasites in the digestive system.
If the problem arises due to dietary deficiency, it can be easily solved by making simple modifications to the child's diet plan. If the condition stems from other factors or diseases, the child must be taken to a doctor immediately for a medical diagnosis and remedial treatment. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Pediatrician.

An infant is usually called a bundle of joy and with good reason. There are simple and carefree, and bring a smile to your face with their antics. However, the mood and health of an infant can be tarnished due to an issue which is known as galactosemia.
What is Galactosemia?
When a baby has galactosemia, he or she will have a problem when it comes to digesting galactose, which is something that is present not only in milk but in all milk products. Galactose is a sort of sugar, just like fructose and glucose is. As a matter of fact, lactose, which is what milk has, is, in fact, a combination of glucose and galactose. Also, when lactose is processed, it is broken down by the human body into its constituents.
The condition is something that is passed down through the genes of the parents of the baby. The condition would occur if the gene which causes a tendency for a baby to have galactosemia is present not only in one parent but both of them. A baby who has the condition will be lacking an enzyme which is known as the GALT enzyme. The enzyme could also not be functioning as it should be under normal circumstances.
When it comes to the problem, it is very important, to say the least, to detect it sooner rather than later as if there is a build-up of unprocessed galactose which is allowed to occur, it can affect the baby adversely and in some cases, it can also be threatening to the life of the baby!
How does it affect a baby?
The problems which can erupt due to galactosemia include issues which affect organs such as the brain, eyes, liver and kidneys. It is interesting to take note of the fact that these are all organs which either have something to do either processing the blood or are heavily dependent on it. While a baby is not in the position in which he or she can communicate the issues that are being faced, when keeping an eye out for galactosemia, the signs which are displayed include an irritability of the baby as well as lacking consumption of the milk of the mother.
Even though galactosemia may not be the case, a doctor should be consulted as the exacerbated issue can include seizures and jaundice. It is to be kept in mind that galactose is something that can be found not only in the milk of the cow but also human milk as well as the milk of other animals such as goats. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Pediatrician.

CINCINNATI — Macy's announced that it will expand its online order fulfillment center in Goodyear, Ariz., to accommodate continued sales growth as part of the company's omnichannel strategy. The company is expected to invest more than $35 million in capital in the project.
The Goodyear facility, with 600,000 square feet of space, was built by Macy's Inc. and opened in spring 2008. The expansion will add 360,000 square feet of space. Construction is expected to begin this summer so the expanded facility, with a total of 960,000 square feet, can be operational in spring 2014.
"Macy's omnichannel strategy has helped us to accelerate sales growth – from a combination of stores and online – in recent years as we position our company to serve customers no matter wherever, however and whenever they prefer to shop. Our online fulfillment centers, as well as the 500 Macy's stores that will be equipped to fulfill orders by the end of 2013, handle customer orders placed online, as well as ship products to customers who shop in stores that may not stock the specific product they need. Through our omnichannel strategy, we can access the total inventory of our company for every customer," said R.B. Harrison, Macy's Inc.'s chief omnichannel officer.
"Going forward, it is important that our systems and facilities continue to develop so we have the capacity to continue to serve customer demand and grow sales. Goodyear already is a state-of-the-art fulfillment center, and this expansion will allow us to scale up its capabilities to handle the higher level of volume expected in the years ahead," Harrison said.
The Goodyear fulfillment center currently employs more than 500 full-time-equivalent associates. With the expansion, employment is expected to grow to more than 625 full-time equivalents.

Together with my friend and colleague Tim Maness, I made a couple of videos last week on the relationship between science and religion. They went up yesterday at the website of Rabbi Geoff Mitelman's Sinai and Synapses project as part of its "More Light, Less Heat" initiative, and again today at the Huffington Post. Check them out! My video focuses on the scientific study of religion – particularly its role in coordinating cooperative agreements within cultures. Tim's video is more meta-analytic, focusing with a sharp eye on the questions of epistemology within and motivations for both religious and scientific worldviews.

Jewelry of the Victorian era was imbued with the use of more symbol and sentiment than almost any other period. This 15k yellow gold double box locket is a gloriously ornate example. Referred to as a "hope locket", the textured surface of the oval locket has an anchor and rope design constructed in such a manner as to appear as though three-dimensional and entwined with the gold rope literally hanging off the edge. The anchor symbol became the metaphor for hope during the 18th century when men undertook long sea voyages. Leaving their loved ones behind the anchor came to represent the hope that the seafarers would return and anchor in their home port safe and sound.

General Assembly/3C: Statement by Ambassador Wittig at the presentation of the draft resolution on "The Right to Privacy in the Digital World"
(as delivered:)
"Mr. President,
I am pleased to join my Brazilian colleague in introducing this new resolution on a growing human rights challenge.
The human right to privacy is not new. In fact, it is enshrined in two of the most fundamental instruments of the international human rights architecture: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1976.
Over the past months, however, reports about mass surveillance of private communication and the collection of personal data have alarmed people all over the world. They ask a legitimate question: is their right to privacy still protected effectively in our digital world?
Today, there seem to be hardly any technical limitations for accessing, storing or combining personal data. But should everything that is technical feasible also be allowed? Where do we draw the line between legitimate security concerns and the individual right to privacy? And how do we ensure that human rights are effectively protected both offline and online?
Germany and Brazil believe that these complex and highly relevant questions require global answers. We therefore believe that it is important to take this discussion to the most relevant international framework – the United Nations.
Earlier this year at the margins of the Human Rights Council, we therefore launched an initiative to strengthen the right to privacy in the digital age. Intensive discussions with human rights experts, civil society organizations and Member States ensued. The result is the draft resolution we are introducing today.
We further propose to request the High Commissioner for Human Rights to report back to Member States, providing concrete recommendations on how the right to privacy could be better protected, including in the context of extra-territorial surveillance. We are convinced that this report will be a solid basis for a serious and diligent discussion that leads beyond the current public debate.
We look forward to close consultations with you on this draft resolution. I also invite all of you to co-sponsor this important resolution and thereby to send out a strong message that the international community is ready to address one of the most pressing challenges in international human rights law: protecting privacy in the digital age.
Thank you!"

NORTHFIELD, Ohio (AP) -- Construction is starting on another Ohio racino -- a Hard Rock-themed gaming house scheduled to open later this year between Cleveland and Akron.
The harness-racing track Northfield Park and Hard Rock International are partnering on the gambling and entertainment complex, expected to cost $250 million to $300 million.
Track owner Brock Milstein tells the Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/Wv4VUo) that construction will ramp up in the next few weeks.
The 200,000-square-foot building will have around 2,500 slots-like video lottery terminals, a 250-seat comedy club, steakhouse, music venue and Hard Rock Cafe.
The first of several planned racinos around the state opened last summer at Scioto Downs in Columbus.

Roman Polanski
Actor / Filmmaker / Fugitive
Date Of Birth:
18 August 1933
Place Of Birth:
Paris, France
Roman Polanski directed the critical and commercial hits Rosemary's Baby (1968, starring Mia Farrow) and Chinatown (1974, starring Jack Nicholson). A childhood survivor of the Krakow ghetto in Nazi-occupied Poland, he began acting as a teen, then went to film school and in the late 1950s began winning international awards for his short films. His first feature film, the tense drama Knife in the Water (1962), received an Oscar nomination for best foreign language film, and within a few years Polanski made his way to Hollywood. The success of the devilish Rosemary's Baby was soon overshadowed by the 1969 murder of Polanski's pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate, by members of a cult led by Charles Manson. Polanski returned to Europe, settling in France, and continued to make movies in Europe and the U.S. In 1977 he was charged in Los Angeles with drugging and raping a 13 year-old girl during a purported photo session. After a few months in jail for psychiatric review, Polanski was released on bail and allowed to leave the country to work on a film. He never returned. He continued making movies in Europe and in the 1980s and '90s appeared many times on stage. His filmography includes some great films, some stinkers and a few that can be taken either way, but he is considered by many to be a great director -- an opinion reinforced by his 2003 Academy Award as best director for The Pianist (starring Adrien Brody). His other feature films include Tess (1980), Frantic (1988, starring Harrison Ford) , The Ninth Gate (2000, starring Johnny Depp), the 2005 version of Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist and the 2010 political thriller Ghost Writer (starring Ewan McGregor).
Extra Credit:
The Pianist is an account of the German extermination of the Warsaw ghetto, echoing Polanski's own past… Polanski was still a fugitive when he won the 2003 Oscar, so he did not attend the ceremonies in Los Angeles… The incident with the 13 year-old girl took place at the home of Jack Nicholson (who was out of town)… The girl's name remained hidden for years, but as a married adult she identified herself publicly as Samantha Geimer; her name at the time of the incident was Samantha Jane Gailey… In 1989 Polanski married actress Emmanuelle Seigner, who appears in his films Frantic and The Ninth Gate… Polanski published his autobiography, Roman, in 1984.

SAN BERNARDINO -- A bungling crook who nearly lost his bag of loot and was attacked by three good Samaritans over the weekend was caught on tape robbing a gas station at knife point and now investigators are turning to the public for help in identifying the man.
San Bernardino Police authorities are still searching for the man, officials said Thursday.
Around 9:30 a.m. Sunday, a man walked into the Mobil gas station on the corner of Hallmark and University parkways and asked the female clerk for the key to the bathroom, according to gas station owner, Ahmed Radwan.
"When he came out, he pulled out a knife and forced her to put all the money from the cash register into a bag," Radwan said in a phone interview.
As the clerk put the money into the bag, the robber began to search through the drawers near the register, according to Radwan. While the man was distracted in his search of more cash, the clerk took the opportunity to run out door with the bag of money.
"When she ran outside she was screaming, 'He's robbing me! Help me!'," recounted Radwan.
The robber ran outside closely behind the woman and grabbed the bag of money, he said.
Seeing the altercation, three men who were getting gas at the Mobil station ran to aid the female clerk, Radwan said.
One man threw the man down and tried to hold him while the other two struck the man in an attempt to keep the robber from fleeing, Radwan said.
During the tussle, the crook lost his grip on the bag of cash, but managed to grab it again when he broke free from the three men and ran off.
"I'm so very appreciative of my customers for helping the clerk but I worry about their safety because we don't know if this guy could have a gun or a knife," said Radwan.
Radwan hopes the video of the robbery will help identify the man and will lead to his arrest. Radwan will also be offering a reward for any tip that leads to the robber's arrest and conviction though he did not disclose the amount of the reward.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the San Bernardino Police Department at 909-384-5742.

Concerning whether recovery is possible, I guess some of the questions are:
- How well does sdelete zero out the appropriate disk sectors? Does it ever miss something?
- Is there another copy of the file written somewhere else on disk, by either the OS or the application? Microsoft Office for example, writes temporary copies of files you are working on to the drive, and deletes (but doesn't overwrite) them once you finish your session.
- Is it possible to use a hardware interface to the drive, to read the data that has bled out between tracks on the disk. The ability to do this may relate to how many overwrite passes are made (which seems to be configurable with the -p switch in sdelete). There's a post about reading disk contents in this way on the sansforensic blog by Dr Craig Wright from a few months back if you're interested.
Post back if you give this a try, Id be interested in the result.

Shiloh is a Terminal. She has a terrible disease that sometimes requires operations to remove a lung or a kidney, maybe an arm or leg. That is why the Terminals live at Haven Hospital and Halls, so they can be protected and monitored by Dr. King who is the only one who knows when an amputation is necessary. If it wasn't for the Tonic which helps her sleep and remain calm, Shiloh doesn't know how she or the other Terminals would cope.

The Predator-class was a class of warship utilized by the Kazon Collective during the 2370s. They were originally designed by the Trabe and later commandeered by the Kazon and used as a massive warship. This class of vessel was much clumsier in battle at lower speeds than at warp speed and could be easily out maneuvered by an agile craft. (VOY: "Initiations")
Two Kazon sects known to possess this class during the 2370s were the Kazon-Ogla and Kazon-Nistrim. Although the Kazon had seized a large majority of the Trabe fleet, a small number of these ships remained under Trabe control as part of the Trabe convoy. (VOY: "Alliances")
In 2371, an Ogla carrier attacked the USS Voyager, and Val Jean, while the two vessels attempted to protect the Caretaker's array. The Kazon ship was destroyed by Chakotay when he rammed the Val Jean into the larger carrier, which in turn caused the larger carrier to crash into the array. (VOY: "Caretaker") Tom Paris later recalled that the vessel was "armed to the teeth." (VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy")
In a holographic scenario experienced by The Doctor, he was told by B'Elanna Torres that USS Voyager had been attacked by two Predator-class warships which had taken the ship by surprise. The two ships had apparently hit Voyager with a volley of plasma torpedoes, which initiated a core breach and forced the crew to abandon ship. (VOY: "Projections")
In early 2372, a second Ogla carrier captured a Federation shuttlecraft and later destroyed it. (VOY: "Initiations")
In late 2372, First Maje Culluh of the Kazon-Nistrim gathered a fleet of eight carriers to mount an attack against the Voyager. Their attack formation was in a classic Cardassian echelon.
Voyager was able to divert four of the vessels from the fleet, leaving them to face four ships on their own. They were able to destroy one of the carriers with three photon torpedoes, however, this was not enough of a deterrent, and the combined weapons' fire of the three remaining carriers managed to overwhelm the severely damaged Voyager's shields and allow Nistrim troops to board and capture the Starfleet vessel. (VOY: "Basics, Part I")
A vessel of this class later appeared in the TCARS display aboard the USS Relativity during the 29th century. (VOY: "Relativity")
List of Kazon carrier vesselsEdit
Appendices Edit
Appearances Edit
- "Caretaker"
- "Initiations"
- "Alliances"
- "Basics, Part I"
- "Unity" (flashback sequence)
- "Relativity" (flashback sequence/Star Trek Encyclopedia variation display graphics)
Background information Edit
According to Star Trek Encyclopedia, the Kazon carrier vessels were the Predator-class warships mentioned in "Projections". The most recent edition of the Encyclopedia featured an inaccurate representation of this class of vessel. The image was later used on screen in an LCARS display in "Relativity".
In the first draft script of "Caretaker" (written at a time when the Kazon were to be called "Gazon"), this type of vessel was described as "a HUGE Gazon ship – an eight hundred pound gorilla."
Studio modelEdit
The Kazon carrier vessel was a design by Dan Curry. At the time, the production team of Star Trek was spread thin as several productions were in various stages of development (Star Trek Generations, TNG: "All Good Things...", DS9: "The Jem'Hadar" and VOY: "Caretaker" as well as the documentary Journey's End: The Saga of Star Trek: The Next Generation). The regular design team for Voyager had their hands full, hammering out the details for the USS Voyager and the Caretaker's array (as was related in the book A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager). To ease the workload, Curry, whose regular function was that of Effects Supervisor, pitched in by tackling the Kazon ships, wanting to imbue the ships with that culture's "rough, low-tech retro" look. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 105, p. 59) For the same reason, the build of the models, once the design was approved, was sub-contracted out to an outside vendor, WonderWorks Inc., who delivered the two models as per specification.[1]. Unlike with its contemporary companion fighter design, no need was ever perceived to modify the carrier vessel model.
A relatively small model, when delivered, it was not up to the task of the close-up of Chakotay's suicide run with the Val Jean in the penultimate act of VOY: "Caretaker", so a larger partial model was needed. As Dan Curry remembered, "Joe [Bauer] built the big foreground (kamikaze) miniature of the Kazon ship; David [Stipes] just did endless hours supervising motion control...and everybody really did a magnificent job." (Star Trek: Communicator issue 105, p. 59) Bauer actually built the enlarged forward section and Stipes had to composite all the footage shot. (The whole sequence was discussed by Curry in the VOY Season 1 DVD special feature "Red Alert: Visual Effects Season One".)
As the role of the Kazon as main antagonists was played out early on in the series, no CGI version of the design was ever produced, the two later appearances being either stock footage or a LCAR display.
The physical model, measuring 31"×8", listed as Lot#352 and estimated at US$2,000–$3,000 was sold on 6 October 2006, in the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction, with a winning bid of US$3,500 ($4,200 including buyer's premium).

Here's the lowdown on sxsw music festival. My lowdown on the conference will come next.
I saw 30 or so bands (which is just over 2% of the total number of bands showcasing!) at SXSW, as well as several unofficial shows. I missed some things everyone was talking about (of course), but all in all I'd say I did okay, both in diversity and quantity of acts seen.
Okay, starting with the LEAST indie, least unknown first: let me just say that with his porn star-looking wife writhing around onstage and his silver lamé pants, Perry Farrell is a showman in the grand tradition of Freddy Mercury and David Bowie. You know you're not watching yet another earnest hipster indie rock band when he waves his arm across the crowd and says: "You all look so ravishing! I just want to grab you by the hair and…" (okay, you get the idea). And quite a breathtaking striped sweater. Maybe it was my mood, but i loved it.
Rickie Lee performed a few shows, as well as sat for an interview during the conference. The show I caught was on the last day, an afternoon thing at the convention center where they were broadcasting live for Direct TV. It was a set designed to look like a club. They had two: the "Bat Bar" and the "Lone Star Lounge" or something. Anyway, her band was really tight and she was in a good mood. She said, "this has turned out to be a lot of fun for me. There should just be more food for when you're walking down the street at 2 am after your show and you're drunk…we need more food for the people." She was focused and beautiful and when she wailed "Do you know my name? Do you know my name?" it was an anthem for all of the hopeful souls trying to be heard in Austin last week. I was crying, but that's not rare.
I saw Kaki King, who was amazing. She performs these weird percussive things and then loops them and it's fiddle and guitar and very interesting. Andrew Bird does something along those lines but with a band and with his surreal, ethereal lyrics. At one point he introduced the song "Plasticities," and the guy behind me yelled "Plasticities!" like it was "Freebird." Funny! And then talked throughout the whole song.
Martha Wainwright is some kind of otherworldly creature – so charming and lovely and sexy and talented – something in the Wainwright/McGarrigle DNA is more talented than the rest of us humans. She's a timeless performer, which was refreshing because quite a few of the bands I saw were completely of the moment – a moment that will pass.
They weren't on the official SXSW showcase list, but I had a blast watching the Lonesome Spurs at Hole in the Wall. They are the duo of Lynda Kay Parker and Danny B. Harvey – he plays rockabilly lead guitar and she plays rhythm, sings and a Samsonite suitcase kick drum. Very fun. Plus – it turns out that Danny B used to tour with Nancy Sinatra, and they played the song "Kind of a Woman" that my mom wrote.
Okay – gotta get the kids to bed and will post more soon.

great work Lincoln!
just a word of advice: the script scans each line in the csv file left to right (but only the description and path in each line), so be ware of the order by which you issue your search arguments (i.e.: "oracle 9i" will return about a dozen exploits, but "9i oracle" will not return a single one)
I'll fix this in the near future, but for the time being please use a few more brain cycles while searching.

Using patented fabric developed for NASA to help keep astronauts cool in space, this is the pillow that provides a comfortably cool sleeping surface. Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, millions of invisible microcapsules inside the pillow shell absorb excess heat and move the warmth away from the head and neck until the pillow eventually reaches the ambient temperature. As you shift positions naturally while you sleep, the vacated area of the pillow recovers its cooling properties. The patented fabric covers both sides of the pillow and it is filled with a spiral-crimped polyester that has a loose, thread-like texture for long-lasting loft. The 100% cotton cover is hypoallergenic, removable, and washable.

Firmer than expected. Works moderately well.
By cuester
from Denver, CO
I bought this because my head and neck sweat when I sleep and my pillowcase and liner get damp with perspiration even with a very cool bedroom. Hoping this pillow would help, but the answer is that it helps somewhat but the pillow is not exactly cool ... just cool-ER. I still perspire but not as heavily. I still occasionally have to turn the pillow over.I like a firm pillow but this was quite a bit firmer than most "firm" pillows, so beware. I actually got used to its firmness with little trouble, but I did notice it at first. It is really stuffed with its fiber filling!A positive note is that it is quite plump and looks like it will not flatten out much for a long time -- unlike regular pillows, be they down-filled or fiber-filled. Kind of a struggle getting it into a pillowcase, but of course you can't have it both ways. Other pillows promising cool nights are much cheaper, but they look like the cool part is just stuck on the center of one side of the pillow. This looks uncomfortable to me. Even though I felt my purchase fell short of what was promised and was overpriced for what I got, I could not find any other pillows that looked like they would be as good
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great gift
By sunnysleeper
from Orange County, CA
I purchased this as a gift. I purchased the firm pillow, and it turns out it was too firm. We exchanged it for the medium firm pillow, which is much better. Unless you like very firm pillows, go for the medium firm one. It really keeps your head and body cool.
Can't wait for the EXTRA - FIRM version to be available...
By Edward
from undisclosed
This pillow is truly as good as advertized. As a lifelong side sleeper, I want a firm, or even extra firm, pillow, and this is the best I have ever tested.
High Quality
By Army wife
from Texas
Bought the first one eight years ago. It started to show wear and there was no other choice but to replacing it with another. This pillow is worth the few extra dollars. It is a bargain at any price.

This pillow is the best pillow ever!! It is everything as advertised
excellent product
By Ralph 3

Used for sleeping and to replace old pillows.
By Dreamer's Mom
from Phoenix, AZ
I've been in love with quality goose down pillows for years. But they are just not practical for Summer conditions in Phoenix, Arizona. Tried to find other solutions but had pretty much decided that nothing out there would be acceptable. Saw the Cooling Pillow and decided to give it a shot. I've been so pleased that I actually purchased another set for when we travel.
good nights sleep on a cool pillow!
By kjd
from Bath Ontario Canada
Delivery service is fantastic, here much sooner then anticipated. this is the second pillow I have purchased the first is in the camping trailer, this one is for home. I love how you are able to turn the pillow over and the cooling material is on the other side. It is not going to keep your head cool all night, your head does eventually warm the pillow, but it can be flipped over.

Jerry Cornfield Herald Columnist
Gov. Jay Inslee lives for days like Tuesday.
He arrived in a conference room of reporters wearing his gubernatorial uniform of dark suit, white shirt and blue tie to proclaim the need for a second special session because lawmakers failed miserably in the first.
Initially, some said they observed frustration in his face and heard irritation in his voice.
More likely, he was just warming up his facial muscles and vocal chords because moments into his comments, the rookie Democratic governor delivered one mean whomping to the Republicans controlling the actions of the Senate.
He pounded away with a series of verbal haymakers then moved in to apply a submission hold by blaming them for conducting ideological warfare and driving Washington toward a partial government shutdown.
Inslee's face read stern and his tone serious but he had to be smiling on the inside.
After five months on the job, Inslee finally got to rap on Republicans as he often did in his days as a nearly anonymous member of Congress. Washingtonians need wonder no more about Inslee's approach to leadership. He's a Democrat, not a diplomat.
Tuesday's 30-minute performance shows he's shed any semblance of impartiality in negotiating a final budget agreement, enlisting with House Democrats for the final battles. (No one could be happier than those Democrats, many of whom often felt his predecessor didn't have their back on fiscal issues and too quickly ceded principle for a go-home arrangement.)
The Majority Coalition Caucus in the Senate may in fact submit and tap out soon though not as a result of Inslee's tongue-lashing but their political maneuvers.
For 105 days of regular session and about 25 of the first overtime, every member of this caucus kept their blood oath against taxes in spite of constant haranguing by Inslee, House Democrats and reporters. They stayed true to their demand for reform before revenue.
Such steadfastness earned them public acclaim in some quarters of the state. It also forced House Democrats to significantly shrink their tax-raising proposal and even ponder a no-tax budget.
Then late last week, the Senate coalition's 23 Republicans and two conservative Democrats changed course by announcing a willingness to support what they deemed new "resources".
In so doing, they crossed the Rubicon on taxes and can't go back. And they've likely conceded the biggest bargaining chip they held for advancing a trio of reform bills they really want.
Veteran senators in the coalition can probably see now how this will play out.
The coalition will pass its reform bills knowing the House will ignore them.
Next Tuesday, a new revenue forecast will be released showing tax collections for the next budget will be slightly higher than predicted in March. This news should enable the House to trim its tax package down to where it may be the right size for the Senate.
Then Democratic and Republican leaders in the two chambers and the governor will go through the budget, sometimes line-by-line, horse trading along the way.
The House may have to ax its $100,000 allotment for setting up a program to provide state aid to college-bound illegal immigrants. The Senate may have to agree to spend $200,000 to keep the Office of Aerospace operating.
This is how budget agreements get reached. It's governing at its most tedious.
Inslee won't find it much fun and will surely long for a lot more days like Tuesday.

We assume that the pulse response of the image acquisition system, in our case a CCD camera, can be modelled by a Gaussian with variance σcam . This is widely accepted and applied in the literature [11,2]. We model the edges to be localised by a Gaussian with variance σedge convolved with an ideal step.

Finding Members
How do you find members?
Friends and relatives – If you know two people who are interested, you have a book group! You may have a friend who is interested, and that friend may have a friend. And there you have it! You want to start small and only expand once you have figured out all the rules.
Acquaintances – You want to talk to everyone! Friends of friends, people you meet at parties, people you see frequently in your community, at your kids' school, at the grocery store, etc. Network!
People connected with local institutions – You can ask at your synagogue or church, volunteer organizations, clubs, bookstores, libraries, or similar local groups. These organizations may know of existing book clubs that are looking for new members or may know of individuals who are looking to start or join a club.
What are the magic numbers?
3 – The perfect number to get started and make the rules. It is much easier to find new members once everything is established, and it is easier to bring up your book club in conversation. "Well, I have to get ready for my book club now. Do you belong to a book club? No? Well you are more than welcome to come to ours!"
5 – The minimum number for a good, satisfying discussion. With 5 people, you are more likely to have differing backgrounds and opinions, and that leads to good discussions!
12 – Probably the maximum number you want. Some book groups have more because they assume 1/3 of all members will be absent on any given day. You'll need to consider where the book group will be held. Will you have room for more than 12? If there are more than 12 people, will every voice be heard?
What type of group do you desire?
When choosing individual members, there are several factors to consider:
Member demographics, including:
- Members' age
- Members' gender
- Members' marital status
- Members' reading preferences
Do you want everyone to be the same age? Do you want men and women or just women? Do you want this to be a group for singles only? Do you want this to be a "mother /daughter" group, or perhaps a "couples" group? Maybe you think that you don't have a preference, but it is definitely something to consider before you begin! It is difficult to change the make-up of a group once it is established, and it is always easier to turn people away at the door than it is to kick out long-established members. You will also want to take into consideration the reading preferences of your members. If you want to create a group that discusses serious literary fiction, you probably don't want to invite a member who only enjoys reading light romance novels!
Themes: Will your group focus on just one author? Only nonfiction? Only mysteries? Only books set in China? Only world literature? This is something best discussed at the outset, because many people have very specific reading tastes and will not be happy in a group that does not match their interests.
Academic vs. Social Time: Do you want your group to feel like a class or like a party? Most people want something in between, but, again, if a member comes to meetings expecting a serious discussion of the book and finds instead a social group who frequently go "off-topic," that member will be dissatisfied.
Note: A good member doesn't have to like the same books you do, but s/he should be a conscientious reader, a good listener, and an intelligent and focused participant. You also want someone who is on time and attends meetings regularly. A sense of humor doesn't hurt either!
Rules to Consider
At your first meeting, you will want to make sure everybody is on the same page and wants the same thing from the group. A good way to do this is to go once around the room with introductions and a brief discussion of why everyone is interested in joining the group in the first place. But even beyond these ice-breaker types of activities, the first meeting should be all about setting up the rules. Whether your group is more casual or more formal, everyone needs to know how things will be run and what will be expected of them in the future.
Date and time of meeting? This seems pretty straightforward, but you might wish to consider whether you will meet year round and what to do when a holiday falls on your regular meeting day. Your core group should determine day and time. It's hard to build membership when potential members don't know whether group meetings will suit their schedules! Since your core group is already committed to being part of the group, they should be the ones to decide. Try not to stray too far from your chosen meeting time except for on holidays or you'll lose people who need to plan far in advance.
How long will discussions last? Will you build in time to socialize before or after meetings? It's good to have a small period of time to break the ice, especially while the group is growing. Everyone will come in the door with something to say. You should try to limit this to about 10 minutes while waiting for late-comers to arrive, and then begin your discussion promptly. Save any additional socializing for after the discussion. Members with tight schedules will appreciate this since they can count on a finite period of time for discussion and can leave right after if necessary.
How many people will you invite to join your group? More than a dozen can make it difficult to be comfortable in a small room and fewer than 5 can mean that any absences severely impact a discussion. Most groups have between 8 and 12 members. Your core group should decide on an upper limit before issuing invitations. This is really a personal choice; more members can make a discussion lively, but fewer can make things cozier and more casual.
What will you do in the case of high absenteeism? If a member misses multiple meetings in a row, will he or she be replaced? If you have a large group, this might not be an issue for you. If you have a very small group, though, all absences will have a big impact on your discussion. You want members committed enough to prepare, attend, and participate.
Where will the discussions be held? Do you want to rotate houses? Does someone in the core group love to host and want to do it all? Will the meetings be held in a public place? Will you be flexible? Is it your turn but you're in the middle of a home improvement project? Not everyone has the space to entertain, so this is something you'll want to decide within your core group. Again, you might want to be reasonably flexible and creative, but make sure members are given sufficient notice of a change in location. Consider meeting in public places rather than homes; some groups meet in coffee shops, restaurants, or even bars!
Will you serve refreshments at the meetings? If so, when and what type of food? Dessert and coffee? Hors d'oeuvres and wine? Do you want to set a budget guideline so the food doesn't get out of hand and become the focus of the meeting? This can become a big issue if the hostess is forever running in and out of the room bringing in dishes and drinks. One suggestion is to provide a sideboard with beverages so members can help themselves during a discussion. If you offer additional snacks before or after the discussion, there's not as much attention focused on the food. Conversely, if food is important to your group, build in time for it.
Will children be allowed to attend regularly, as a rare exception, or not at all? It might seem like a good opportunity to run a playgroup, but depending on the ages of the children, it can be extremely disruptive to a discussion, even if each child interrupts only once. Some groups are firm on a no-children rule, insisting that even children of the host be kept away from the discussion area. The makeup of your core group will determine which direction you want to go with this.
Will pets they be allowed in the meeting areas? Do you have members with allergies that might prohibit members with pets from hosting at home? This sounds like a picky detail, but allergies or fear of animals can make discussions very uncomfortable for some. If you can't keep the pets out, you might want to take your discussion outside or to a public place.
Will you levy dues that go toward group costs? If so, who will keep track of them? You may have no need for this discussion if you do all your contact by email rather than mail, use leaders from within your group rather than hiring professional leaders, and have each host responsible for the cost of refreshments. If money will be an issue for your group, you should discuss this in advance.
Will you have a secretary to keep membership contact information and book lists? Even if you don't think it likely at first, someone will end up doing this work! So you might just want to decide who it will be, and how you will replace that person after a time so the entire burden doesn't stay with one member. A rotating schedule? A vote? Volunteers only?
Will you focus on a specific genre of book? This is something your core group should determine. If you want to discuss only mysteries, you should create a mystery-only discussion group. Otherwise, reading the chosen books can become a chore rather than a fun diversion. Your group can be firm on this point, or you can opt to focus mostly on one type of book and throw in something different once or twice a year to keep things interesting. (More on Choosing Your Books.)
Who chooses the books? Will the hostess of the month choose? Will the core group choose? Your core group should decide how to choose and who will be responsible for choosing. Some groups rotate, with the hostess of the month choosing the book. Others try to get to a group consensus at the end of each meeting for an upcoming discussion. (More on Choosing Your Books.)
How far in advance will you choose the books? Knowing the title several months in advance helps all members obtain copies and be prepared. You should know two to three months ahead what you will be reading so that busy members can find time to locate a copy of the book and take their time reading it. Consider a schedule for choosing, with your core group choosing the first several titles. By the time you run through your initial list of 4-6 titles, you will likely have new members on board and can start choosing according to your schedule. For instance, if you start your first discussion with a list of four titles, at your second discussion you can add one title, and at each subsequent meeting you'll add one more title so you'll remain 3 months ahead in your choices. You can vary this in endless ways to suit your group.

BRUSSELS, Belgium -- The European Vending Association reports that it has signed an agreement with the German vending operators' association BDV (the Bundesverband der Deutschen Vending- Automatenwirtschaft e.V.) to participate in the Eu´Vend trade fair for a second time. The biennial event is held at the Cologne Fairgrounds; this year's is set for Sept. 19 through 21.
EVA and BDV will share a booth, offering information about their programs and services. EVA also will participate in the conference's education program.
The 2013 Eu´Vend again will be held in conjunction with Coffeena, the international coffee fair. The first co-location of the two shows, in 2011, proved very successful. "Bringing the trade fairs together has really paid off, because the already high level of coffee expertise at Eu´Vend is enhanced by Coffeena," according to Koelnmesse, which administers the shows.
EVA reported that virtually every segment of the vending industry was represented at the 2011 event.
The variety of coffee and related products and accessories on display two years ago expanded substantially over 2009's exhibit, in large part because of the co-location with Coffeena, the association said. In 2011, 237 suppliers from 28 countries displayed their wares. This was an increase of 25% over the 2009 fair, reflecting more international exhibitors who comprised 40% of the total.
Visitor turnout also increased, EVA said, by nearly 16%, of which 30% was international. In 2013, the association predicts that attendance will increase again.
Information about this year's Eu´Vend and Coffeena may be found online at www.euvend-coffeena.com.
The European Vending Association represents the interests of the continent's vending industry before European governments and regulatory bodies. Its members include both national trade associations (at present, 19 organizations representing 20 countries), as well as individual companies throughout Europe.

A9 TV, 12 August 2011
They describe how garlic and onion are prepared. They describe the benefits of rice and how long one's trousers should be. But I speak of Islamic Union. I speak of the greatest religious obligation. Bediüzzaman also says, "it is the greatest religious obligation." Whichever page of the Qur'an you open up, it speaks of Islamic Union. With their gracious permission, I alone speak of Islamic Union and Turkish-Islamic Union.
Allah explicitly tells us in the Qur'an not to fast if we are sick. It is unlawful for a sick person to fast. It is a religious obligation for him not to fast. Because then he is obeying Allah's command. That means merit. In other words, the sick person acquires merit by not fasting. So those brothers of ours who are seriously ill should not even think about fasting. People with severe gastric diseases, kidney diseases, blood pressure diseases and who have to take medicines all the time must not fast. If they do, that is unlawful. You must seek medical advice. All right, if a few doctors say there is no problem with fasting, then that is fine. But if he says you must not fast, then you have a religious obligation not to.
This report is very significant. The presence of the Qur'an in the American Army, Islamic accounts being given, the language of followers of Islam and describing the invalidity of Darwinism and materialism are all marvelous things. The demand there was wonderful. These are very high-ranking people. In that respect it is also highly significant. It was amazing how they sent a medal and how they gave permission for the conference to be held. A conference being held in a military facility. They made a request, saying come and talk to us. That can only be explained by the coming of Jesus the Messiah. Someone must have warned them. Someone must have given the order. Someone must be guiding them. Who is that? There is something marvelous here. The medal is an expression of their joy. They proffered it as a compliment, an expression of love and respect.
One must approach matters with love and affection. The savagery and barbarity of the dajjal (antichrist) are unbelievable. But these are fine people and we must love them and be their friends. We must describe the way of Muhammad with love. Islam and the Qur'an are most lovely. The Qur'an bestows the most lovely and luxurious form on life. It bestows the most select life on us. The Qur'an produces first-class people. It produces excellent, rational, high-quality, honest, sincere, helpful and loving people who yearn to enjoy reason, art, science and beauty. That is a characteristic of the Qur'an. It is a system that gives rise to a super high-quality life. It is a system made by Allah.
The Ottoman Empire came and went at a certain time. There is no question of a new Ottoman Empire. But Islamic Union is something else, Turkish-Islamic Union is something else. It means Muslims being united. Every state will remain separate and independent and there will be no interference with their regimes. Everyone will be free in internal and external affairs. This is a bond of love and brotherhood. The ottoman political structure was rather different. It had a policy of conquest. It appeared to have political dominion, but it never assimilated people. It never touched their religions or languages. And there will be no interference under Turkish-Islamic Union. It will be based on love, brotherhood and friendship. On mutual aid. It is a bond of profound love. Imagine a great religious scholar. Think how scrupulous he will be toward his children and spouse and mother. This will be the same. Islamic Union, Turkish-Islamic Union, is like a father, deeply attached to his family, watching over and protecting his children. Can a person interfere with his children? They come and go as they wish, and study at school and he never interferes with them, but when the time comes he will protect them. That is Islamic Union, insha'Allah.2011-08-25 22:17:27

I needed a dog hammock that would fit the entire width of the rear seats, so I chatted with the representatives at autoanything via internet and made sure this hammock would fit my 2015 C300 Mercedes. They assured me it would and it did, perfectly !!. The material is easy to clean, and the black color with a little bit of beige looks awesome. My dogs are happy and so am I. I highly recommend this hammock.
