I have a question about this option. I have it checked. So I assume that means that any comments that are made to Facebook will be imported and put in my blog's comments?
If so, it doesn't seem to be working and I am curious why or what I have to do to make it work as I like the idea of that function.
I don't have the next two boxes (Auto improve imported comments/bybass spam checks and Push comments up to Facebook). I'm not exactly sure what the second one means or if they both have to be checked.
If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it.

text: Drunk Driver Hits The Rock's Family Members Tweet Posted August 11th, 2014 @ 4:56am Follow me (Priscilla) on Facebook! Click here!"The Rock" (Dwyane Johnson) had a scare over the weekend when his mother and cousin were hit head-on by a drunk driver. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.Let's all take a moment to appreciate our loved ones. Hearing about stories like this truly makes me thankful for the health of my family and friends. Drunk driving accidents happen too often with tragic outcomes, so I'm very happy to hear The Rock's family members pulled through. The Rock captioned this image, "My mom & cousin @linafanene were struck head on by a drunk driver this week - they lived. First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them. But then you realize the most important thing is my family lived thru this and we can hug each other that much tighter these days. Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can tell them you love them. #BearHugsAndGratitude".

Looking for plus size woman in Oregon who may have a Kiaser doctor they like. First pregnancy here...thanks!
Anyone in Oregon?
Comments (9)
I am in Oregon as well but I do not have Kaiser either. Sorry.
Cali (40) + Matt (43) (20yrs) = Jessie (18), Emily (14), David (10), Alexander Michael born an angel 8/24/13 @ 39w6d, Alexis our rainbow (4/22/15)
I'm in Southern Oregon (closest Kaiser is Salem), but used Kaiser dr's for part of my 1st pregnancy (was still on my moms insurance through Kaiser bc that's where she works) and the VERY beginning of my 3rd pregnancy back in 09/10. My 1st pregnancy was pretty typical and uneventful and just went to the OB/GYN clinics whenever they had an appt available; no 1 certain Dr, which was nice bc it worked with my work schedule, etc.
Best of luck to you and if you go to one Dr and don't have a good feel, request a new one for your next appointment. They were always so flexible for me.

Michelle Wilson, a Senior Vice President at Amazon, told shareholders at the company's annual meeting today in Seattle that Amazon would drop its support for the controversial group ALEC because the public policy organization had made decisions unrelated to Amazon's business. Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and CEO, also told shareholders that the company would spend $52 million to add air-conditioning to its packaging facilities this year. In a season of protests, Amazon prepares for annual meeting By Jake Ellison • May 22, 2012 With the Occupy Seattle protests having morphed into a movement targeting banks and companies that protesters believe do not live up to progressive ideals, the local protest movement self-dubbed "Working Washington" says it will be at Amazon's annual shareholder meeting Thursday in force. And, with continual protests focusing on its Seattle offices, as Seattle tech blog Geekwire reports, the company is warning protesters to stay off its property.

Read more on Humanosphere. On Amazon, an uneasy mix of plagiarism and erotica By NPR Staff • Jan 29, 2012 Unlike traditional publishing companies, self-publishing programs like Amazon's Kindle Select lack the keen eyes of publishers, leaving room for copyright violations — and plagiarism. Sharazade is the pen name of a writer and editor who is a rising star on Amazon's erotica section. "I do a lot of traveling, and most of my stories are travel-based in some way, either set in an exotic location or having to do with modes of transportation ... or airports, airplanes, buses," she tells weekends on All Things Considered host Guy Raz. Publishers and booksellers see a 'predatory' Amazon By Lynn Neary • Jan 23, 2012 Booksellers and publishers are worried that Amazon is going to devour their industry.

By Bellamy Pailthorp • Jun 7, 2011 Cheuk-man Kong / Flikr Amazon.com has been thriving, despite the economic downturn. Shares in the company are now worth more than five times a much as they were five years ago, thanks in part to innovations such as its electronic book reader, the Kindle, or its move into data storage of all kinds of things "in the cloud." But it's just these futuristic lines of business that have some shareholders worried. The next monopoly? By Dave Meyer & Mark Anderson • May 31, 2011 Achim Hepp / flickr.com Microsoft is appealing a $1.3 billion fine from European antitrust regulators.

"Lake Atitlan" Top 5 Page for this destination Lago de Atitlán by easterntrekker
Lago de Atitlán Travel Guide: 173 reviews and 415 photos
When we first saw the lake as we drove into Panajachel, we couldn't get our cameras out fast enough. The lake is surrounded by three dormant volcanoes and could be the most beautiful lake we've ever seen.
The best way to see it is by taking one of the many boat tours leaving from town.
If you have time for a couple of dollars you can go to a different lakeside village everyday . It is a fabulous way to explore the region.
We spent our time based in Panajachel. It turned out to be the right choice for us , but we wish weplanned to stay longer. This was one of our favorite parts of Guatemala.
Even though it is a popular tourist spot in the area , it still retains its own character , so you end up with that plus the added bonus of having a few nice hotels and restuarants to visit.
The town closes down in early evening but everything is open quite early in the morning.
We enjoyed the cooler evenings , great for sleeping and the clear air!
The villages around the lake make the area a really interesting area to visit and explore . I read somewhere that there are over twenty different languages spoken by the various indigenous people.
We took a boat trip to a few of the villages and had lots of fun shopping for the wonderful textiles and were delighted by the colourful traditional dress of the people ...each village different.
- Pros:A clear , beautiful and exotic place with friendly hard working people
- Cons:No negatives from me
- In a nutshell:A place to unwind and get back to earth

I'd like to use this plugin, but it doesn't quite meet the use that I need it for. But it is quite similar, so perhaps we can edit it to provide the functionality that I need.
Basically, instead of making the first image in a post the featured image, I'd like to add the image URL to a custom field, called 'postimage'.
Would this be possible?
Thanks a lot,

Could you please update the gallery shortcode handler. It does not handle new gallry shortcode attributes like include and exclude.
Could you please update the gallery shortcode handler. It does not handle new gallry shortcode attributes like include and exclude.
The Gallery shortcode handler is part of WordPress core, and not generally something impacted by Themes.
Do you have the same problem when using a different Theme?
The plaintxtBlog theme overwrites the WP default gallery shortcode handler. I don't know of many themes that do this. I had to comment out the code in the functions.php file in order to let the default WP shortcode handler do it's job. Which is fine for me, but I think the author of this theme has used their own gallery shortcode handler to render theme specific attributes in the HTML. So, I thought it might be best if they updated their code to handle the newer gallery shortcode attributes, like include and exclude, etc.
Well, I'll be!
Yeah, a current Theme would not be permitted to do that. This Theme hasn't been updated for three years; you might want to consider using a more recent Theme, or simply keep using a forked version of it.
Geez! I didn't notice how long it's been since it was updated. I've been inheriting this theme for three years now...might be time to just roll my own!

The current idea that the GDP is the measure of the health of the economy has to be adjusted.
GDP should be broken down into at least two categories, cost vs. production. Just as there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, there is a good GDP and bad GDP. With conventional thinking, if the GDP went up 20 percent, that would be good.
How about if that 20 percent increase was just from health-care costs? If you were in the health-care business, great. If you were the rest of the country, most would be crushed financially. With 80 percent of this country's economy service sector, there is a lot of cost GDP. (China's service sector is 30 percent).
We have to exploit foreign markets in order to support this breakdown of the GDP. Education, government and health care are all costs. They are there to provide an infrastructure so the rest of us can produce.
Right now the fiscal cliff isn't the tax rate change, it's the breakdown of the GDP. Inertia is a hard thing to fight.

Some time ago, a young man stopped at our door, introduced himself as James Skoufis and asked for our votes in his race for the 99th Assembly District.
I was impressed that he was trekking door to door, yes, but also with his enthusiasm and grasp of the issues and ability to express them in short clear sentences. I liked what I saw. My wife and I said we'd vote for him, and we will.

Floating point numbers - what else can be done?
Avoiding errors
Rational numbers
How about rational numbers? Most of the numbers we deal with can be expressed as a fraction or ratio, so why not store these numbers as a numerator and a denominator so that we represent them accurately.
We're all familiar with the math for manipulating fractions; for addition and subtraction you rewrite both sides to have a common denominator and for multiplication and division you multiply nominators and denominators. There are some drawbacks with this approach, however. Firstly, as numerator and denominator are stored separately they are calculated separately. This means there will be twice as many operations per calculations as there are with floats.
Secondly, numerators and denominators can get big very quickly as calculations are performed. This means there needs to be an overflow protection that will factorise the numerator and denominator to make their values smaller as necessary. As this factorisation is not always possible, rational numbers can overflow.
Thirdly, any expressions involving addition, subtraction or comparison are going to have to determine lowest common denominators.
A final point - it's my impression that most interfaces use real numbers - when was the last time the store had a can of soda at $37/100? So at least in the presentation there's going to be extra conversions going from the rational format back to the real number. So this is an approach that works and for the languages that don't incorporate rational number types and there are almost certainly libraries available that are easy to understand.
In terms of performance, rational numbers may not compare very well to floating points and in terms of storage they'll be twice the size for a similar range. Rational numbers are also only suitable for fractions and not every number can be represented this way (e.g. √2). That said, if you want to see more, for C++ there is a boost implementation of rational numbers available here.
Base-10 floating point numbers
Which brings us to base-10 floating point numbers. If we remember from the previous article, the problem of large errors came from the small approximation errors that arose when base-10 real numbers were converted to the from x/2y. Therefore, it seems that if we could instead represent our number as x/10y then there would be no conversion to a base-2 format and consequently no approximation error. And because there's no conversion back to a base-10 number there's no large errors arising as described in the last article.
The IEEE floating point standard currently undergoing revision allows for a base-10 to be used, so this idea has been around for a long time. That said, current floating point hardware tends not to support the base-10 mode. The reason is that using base-10 implies using binary coded decimal, a number representation format about 20 per cent less storage efficient than base-2. This is because in general binary coded decimal uses four bits per decimal digit; in base-2 these four bits can represent 16 distinct values whereas in the same space BCD can represent only, well 10 distinct values. There are schemes that reduce the amount of redundant space, but not to the efficiency of base-2 and these schemes also render calculations more computationally expensive.

Editor's note: The article in the Sept. 20 print edition incorrectly states the length of Gene Fondaciaio's probationary sentence. He was sentenced to four years of probation.
Gene Fondaciaio, 34, of Tobyhanna, was sentenced Friday to four years of years of probation after pleading guilty to multiple counts of disseminating online child pornography.
Fondaciaio was charged in March after Monroe County District Attorney's Office detectives through an investigation learned he had been sharing downloaded child porn. Detectives said they executed a search warrant and found multiple files containing a total of 66 child porn images on his computer.
Fondaciaio, who voluntarily turned himself in, would have been sentenced to 13 days to 23 months in Monroe County Correctional Facility, but had already served the minimum by the time his sentencing date arrived.
Fondaciaio has no prior criminal record and dropped out of school after 10th grade, but later completed his general equivalency diploma, according to court records. As part of his sentencing, he was ordered to undergo sex offender and mental health counseling and must register as a convicted sex offender under Megan's Law.

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
Yoga May Help Ease High Blood Pressure, Study Finds
By Robert Preidt
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, May 15 (HealthDay News) -- People who follow the ancient practice of yoga may be getting an added health boost, with a new study suggesting it can fight high blood pressure -- also known as hypertension.
"This study confirms many people's feelings that exercise may be useful in the control of hypertension," said Dr. Howard Weintraub, a cardiologist and associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. Weintraub was not connected to the new study.
Based on the new findings, "yoga would be a useful adjunct in the lowering of blood pressure in certain populations," he said.
In the study, researchers led by Dr. Debbie Cohen of the University of Pennsylvania tracked 58 women and men, aged 38 to 62, for six months.
Although the study couldn't prove a cause-and-effect relationship, doing yoga two to three times a week was associated with an average drop in blood pressure readings from 133/80 to 130/77, the researchers said.
In comparison, the average decrease in blood pressure was smaller (134/83 to 132/82) among people who ate a special diet but did not do yoga.
In a bit of a surprise, doing yoga in tandem with a special diet did not outperform doing yoga alone -- blood pressure numbers fell only slightly (135/83 to 134/81) among people who ate a special diet and also did yoga, the researchers said.
The small decline in blood pressure among people who ate a special diet and did yoga may be because doing both required a greater amount of time, making it more difficult for participants to stick with their regimens, the authors said.
Weintraub said the study shows that "yoga can have a favorable effect" on hypertension. Although the amount of change was small, he said, "some large population studies have suggested that changes of this magnitude could have very significant long-term benefits."
The study did have some limitations, including its relatively short length and the fact that most participants were young and had milder forms of high blood pressure, Weintraub said.

Rare is the ride that can titillate tech geeks and hot-rod junkies. The BMW i8 CONCEPT has been doing both with aplomb since Tom Cruise burned rubber in an early iteration for the latest Mission Impossible sequel. The sports car is part of BMW's new "i" sub-brand of sexy hybrid gas/electric vehicles coming to standalone dealerships by 2014. We predict a waiting list for the production version of the i8 Coupe, thanks to its hunkered-down, futuristic good looks, as well the open-air Spyder equivalent, which debuted in concept form last month. Our favorite gee-whiz cues on both? Doors that swivel upward, driver info displayed in 3-D and proposed laser-based headlamps. Oh, and getting a predicted 75 miles per gallon combined doesn't hurt either — just remember to plug it in at night to any standard outlet. Prices are expected in the low six figures.

The Scarlet Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Scarlet Letter Women and Femininity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
Pearl kissed his lips. A spell was broken. The great scene of grief, in which the wild infant bore a part, had developed all her sympathies; and as her tears fell upon her father's cheek, they were the pledge that she would grow up amid human joy and sorrow, nor for ever do battle with the world, but be a woman in it. Towards her mother, too, Pearl's errand as a messenger of anguish was all fulfilled. (23.10-12; 30-32)
Seeing her father die turns Pearl from a wild "demon-child" determined to "do battle with the world" into a woman—which apparently means having human emotions like joy and sorrow. Aw, our little Pearl is all grown up.

Comments about San Francisco Giants Brandish Leather Belt - Brown:
Great product. The buckle looks and feels high quality, the leather is high grade, and the embossed Giants logo looks great. I have only had the belt for a couple of weeks, but I could not be more happy with it. A steal for the price.

Make the depressions in the beans as deep as possible so the Egg Beaters stay in nice rounds. If they do leak out a little -- no problem. Just spoon them onto the tortillas anyway!

This was super easy and quite good. Will def do again. I did use real eggs and it is a bit of a challenge to make a space in the beans for the egg, especially at the last egg, but it all works out. Don't over think it and enjoy!
July 19, 2012
the receipe was simple and tasted great
July 12, 2011
It's great for dinner or breakfast. The beans hold you over longer throught the day. We love it and it doesn't take allot of time to make.
April 25, 2011
This is definitely a quick and easy recipe to make, and it's a great option for those "breakfast for dinner" nights. There's not a whole lot of prep work to be done, and even though there are three different components to prepare (refried beans/egg mix, diced tomatoes and corn tortillas), it is still simple enough to pull together while making sure everything is served hot (something I usually have a hard time with in the kitchen!). Visually, this colorful dish is very appealing, but the goodness doesn't end there - it's very tasty to boot! My boyfriend and I both liked it a lot. It reminded us of a layered dip, except that the "dip" is inside a tortilla and eaten like a burrito. The refried beans and egg mix really paired nicely with the diced tomatoes with green chiles. And cheddar cheese is always a delicious addition! We will definitely make this again, as it took very little time and was very yummy.
April 22, 2011
This recipe lends itself to lots of options. As is, it's pretty darn good but my son prefers flour tortillas over corn so next time we will change that. We both also thought cilantro makes a nice addition. Since there were only two of us home during brunch, there was plenty left so my son tasted some of the egg mixture just out of the pan and he said that this is perfect even without the tortillas for those who want to avoid additional carbs. I love that this is something that can be whipped up anytime, day or night if you keep a well stocked kitchen. I always have the Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and refried beans on hand. And I also always keep extra grated cheese in the freezer so I never run out. This way, if I get unexpected guests, I can whip up something special in a hurry and this dish serves well anytime of day.

We don't get a lot of meaningful speeches from Maniac. In fact, he often doesn't say too much at all. He's a man (or boy) of action. Something upsets him? He runs. He wants a friend? He carries her suitcase of books. He wants two little boys to go to school? He kisses a baby buffalo (too bad everyday problems aren't that easy to solve, right?). Yup, Maniac never really has trouble taking action.
And his actions are how we learn about who he is. We learn that living in a fractured household actually hurts him deeply: "little Jeffrey Magee wasn't supposed to be up there on the risers, pointing to his aunt and uncle, bellowing out from the midst of the chorus..." (1.11). That as much as he loves the Beales, he decides that "the right thing was to make sure the Beales didn't get hurt anymore" (21.8-9).
No big speeches here—just a big heart in action.
Family Life
Let's do a little word association. Are you ready? Here we go. First: Beale Family.
Second: McNab house.
We're betting you came up with something like warm, loving, caring, safe for the first. And maybe scary, mean, neglectful, dirty for the second. Maniac's journey shows us two polar opposites of family life, and we learn a lot about the people in each of these families through Maniac's experience of how they treat their sibs and parents. For example, how about we compare Papa McNab's drunken bellowing at the little ones to do their homework with Mrs. Beale's frantic scrubbing of the grafitti off the front of the house so Maniac won't see it?
Yeah. We think you get it.
Walking around with a candy bar hanging out of our mouths sounds pretty good to us, if a little messy. (Don't tell our dentist.) But Mars Bar's chocolate companion tells us more than the fact that he has a sweet tooth. What would you think if you met a kid with a lot of swagger and a chocolate bar hanging out of his mouth? We'd think he's the baddest kid on the block and he knows it. And that's Mars in a (chocolate-covered) nutshell.

Additional Training Requirement for all Volunteers/Coaches
As you may have known, there have been several changes made to laws in the state of Pennsylvania that are designed to protect our children from abuse. These changes include an expansion of who is considered a mandated reporter. This list includes any clergy, employee and volunteers serving in our schools. To reflect the law, a new requirement has been added to the Youth Protection Program by the Diocese of Harrisburg. Our tool to becoming well trained mandated reporters of child abuse is an online course hosted by the University of Pittsburgh. You are required to complete this course before working with your team this season. This training requires your immediate action. Please see below the message from the Diocese of Harrisburg.
"ALL Clergy and Employees must complete Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse Training by December 31, 2015. Although Volunteers have until July 1, 2016 to become compliant with new state regulations, they should complete the Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse Training before commencing service activities for the 2015-16 school year, as they are responsible for increased training information."
Instructions on how to access the Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse Online Training video via the Diocese of Harrisburg website are available by clicking here.
Once again this training must be completed before you volunteer for the 2015-2016 school year. Thank you and know that our focus is always on the safety of the students.
As always, please work directly with your Parish office with any questions and to prove completion of all Youth Protection requirements.
Further information on clearances will be made available to you at league meetings, through your local athletic representatives and here at the website.

Berto's Failed Test: New Details; Good News For Andre
By Gabriel Montoya
Last Thursday, it was revealed on BoxingScene.com that Andre Berto failed one of his random drug tests that were administered by VADA [Voluntary Anti Drug Association]. Berto's A and B samples were confirmed to have had traces of nandrolone.
Berto is preparing for a welterweight rematch with Victor Ortiz on June 23rd at Staples Center in Los Angeles California. Both fighters had agreed to take part in a random drug testing protocol.
Sources have informed me that analysis of Berto's positive tests results for nandrosterone (a metabolic byproduct of nandrolone) revealed "ultra-trace amounts of Nandrolone in the low parts per trillion range and consistent with contamination not intent."
In other words, the amount in his system is so minute [very little] that it is highly unlikely that he intentionally ingested nandrolone but was rather contaminated by food or a supplement.
This is excellent news for Team Berto, essentially backing up the theory explained in my article "Andre Berto Tests Positive for The Molecule of the Month: Nandrolone."
Does this mean Berto/Ortiz II could have been saved?
BoxingScene first reported on Sunday afternoon that Josesito Lopez had accepted the opportunity to face Ortiz.
More details to come as the story breaks.

The Sullivan County tentative budget includes numerous restored funds. Congratulations to the legislators for adding back some important funding necessary for an ongoing society. County Manager Joshua Potosek said that "if the legislators want these organizations to exist and believe in their purpose, you need to have funding to support their missions."
But have you noticed an important glaring omission? Judging from Potosek's comments, Sullivan County does not believe in the purpose of the Sullivan County SPCA. If it did, it would have included funding to assist in the Sullivan County SPCA's important work of saving homeless animals at the Rock Hill shelter. This is also true of every town and village in Sullivan County that does not believe that their animals are worth saving.
Perhaps it is time for the volunteers of the SPCA to change the name from the Sullivan County SPCA to another name that does not include the words Sullivan County, since the county and every municipality do not even recognize the existence of this wonderful shelter and the magnificent work the volunteers do to find homes for the animals in their care. For shame, legislators, for shame!

Happy 40th birthday, TAP! The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) has been helping students for the past 40 years in New York state to make higher education affordable, but, unfortunately, TAP is outdated and needs reform. Tuition is increasing, yet the maximum TAP award is not. TAP gives me a small amount of aid every year, just barely enough to cover the cost of textbooks. If it were updated to reflect the needs of students, it may even help with tuition and fees. Because of the current needs of students, NYPIRG is working on a number of initiatives to update and fix the program, including increasing the number of semesters that students are eligible to receive TAP and raising the maximum award from $5,000 to $6,500 for all students.
Overall TAP needs a face-lift. TAP needs to be expanded to undocumented youth, graduate students and students in default on federal loans. Students deserve an equal opportunity to pursue their dreams without the burden of unfair, overwhelming student loan debt.

I am not prone to write product reviews but can't help myself on this one. I have been on something of a personal quest for the perfect pillow for many years. I sleep part on my back and part on my side so it's really hard to find a pillow that works well for either position.Having tried all kinds--shapes, sizes, materials (even two different buckwheat hull pillows), I bought this because I've never seen anything quite like it. I like my other buckwheat hull pillows enough but they are hard (make my ears sore) and they make a lot more noise than you might think, especially for side sleeping.Well, this pillow is amazing. It's quiet and soft, for one thing. But even more important, you can get just the right amount of support exactly where you want it--it's easy to slosh the hulls around the pillow--but once you get it right, they stay in place. It's like the direct down pressure just locks them in place and they don't move much, once you get the elevation and shape just how you want it. So the pillow CONFORMS to ME instead of expecting me to conform to the pillow. I've never been able to do that with a pillow.But the best part--that side panel works double wonders. When I am on my side it fills the whole space in the neck-shoulder-head area--very cozy. But on my back I just shake down the hulls and create a little nest for the very back of my skull--and that side panel forms the most amazing cervical support pillow I've ever used. Wow.I highly recommend this pillow for anybody who has been on the search for best pillow--
Wow! Now before you walk away thinking this is some kind of gimmicky pillow, please know that I've been fighting with pillows for a very long time. I've got allergies, a bad neck and back. I absolutely love these pillows (purchased 2 from Overstock.com). You don't even have to fill the casing completely with the hulls. I used about 1/2 of the bag. Somehow these things just snuggle around your head and give your neck the support it needs. If you want a soft, non-supportive pillow, keep going. But if you need a firm, supportive pillow--this is your new pillow. As an added bonus for me, I love the rustling sound of the hulls...it's just a pleasant sound. In the last 6 weeks, I've completed revamped my bedding thru this website, and I have nothing but great reviews for everything!
I've only had my new, sweet buckwheat pillow for a few days now, but I already know I made a great choice! I LOVE this pillow!!!! I really wasn't sure whether I should replace my old pillow, but the quilted cover and box shape of this one combine to make itso much better than my old buckwheat. It isn't even close. I sleep so great now! Being a side-sleeper, I really appreciated the enormous amount of buckwheat provided - in spite of filling my pillow completely as full as I need, I still have about 1/3 my bag left, so as they settle I will keep it topped off, perfectly full, comfortable and wonderful. I can't believe they haven't thought of this before. This is an AWESOME pillow! If you have ever tried buckwheat in the past, or you sleep on it now, or even if you haven't, you simply owe it to yourself to give this one a try. It is the best pillow I've ever had, and it will be the last pillow I ever buy. Thanks Overstock! You guys rock!
After 20 years, I threw away my old buckwheat hull pillow and bought this Premium Buckwheat Hull Pillow. What a difference...it's quieter (quilted cover muffles the "crunch") and wa-a-ay more comfortable. It came with explicit instructions on how much of the buckwheat to put into the quilted case, depending on whether you're a back, side, stomach, or a combination sleeper. I used about two-thirds of the hulls and have the rest stored for future use. Great pillow, excellent instructions, and worth the money. And, as always, outstanding service from Overstock.
Okay, this pillow isn't as large as it should be. It's larger than a normal travel pillow, smaller than a regular/standard pillow; but it does keep your head cool and your neck supported. I use it with a regular pillow (one of my favorite, but flat pillows) to help muffle the crunching; but once I'm asleep - it's quiet and good! I find I don't toss and turn as much as with normal pillows.
The product information doesn't say anything about how clean the hulls are and includes some information about how to sterilize the hulls. This can be misleading. I asked the manufacturer and received the following: "The hulls are sourced from a specialty processing facility that provides a variety of buckwheat products to the food services industry. As a result, the buckwheat it purchases is subject to stringent requirements and the mill is certified USDA food grade. The hulls are an important byproduct of buckwheat and are carefully processed for the buckwheat pillow markets. I understand that the cleaning process includes screen sifting to remove small particles and electrostatically charging and tumbling the hulls prior to cleaning, followed by a negative air-flow process to remove any residual flour or dust. Having sold thousands of pillows over the years we have yet to hear of a complaint about the hulls. They are the best on the market. The reference to sterilization is a generic comment that relates to any buckwheat hull pillow: It is not intended to suggest that the pillow needs to be sterilized for any reason." -Bret Randall, Manager, Pur-Sleep, Inc The Website **** states: "Our premium buckwheat hulls are sourced from the finest North American suppliers. They are clean, dust free, and hypoallergenic." Great pillow!

I decided to try this based on other customer's positive reviews. I have suffered with neck problems for years. I got this pillow as an experiment - and am so pleased that I bought another one! I sleep on front, back and both sides, and it works for all. I only used about two thirds of the filling... with all it was too hard. I have not found it to be noisy - and use a regular pillow case with it - although it is smaller than a standard pillow. I would not call it a miracle, but have noticed significant improvement in headaches and shoulder pain. Ii is definitely worth a shot if you have neck problems. I had tried other bean bag and memory foam pillows and like this one the best!

When I used to fly to Japan for work, I was never able to sleep on the hotel buckwheat pillows because they were crunchy feeling, loud and "one size fits all". I definitely prefer this "American" style. It has a nice thick cover which makes it softer and much quieter and, being able to customize the amount of fill to fit your personal sleeping style, really makes all the difference! It took several adjustments before I finally got the right amount of fill, so don't give up...it may take several tries. The cover is well made and the gusseted sides keep it from going flat. The hulls are very clean...absolutely no dust...which is a real bonus for those of us with allergies. I am now sleeping more soundly, no longer waking up with a stiff neck and, I swear, I'm dreaming more! There is definitely an improvement in my quality of sleep and I have also noticed an improvement in my TMJ. If you want a soft fluffy pillow, this is not for you. But if you want a pillow that you can "customize" to properly support your head and neck, then I highly recommend this pillow.
I have been recommending this pillow to everyone I know. I had been using a contoured pillow for the past 3 years and recently had been getting very poor sleep, waking up and flipping completely over from one side to the other, and sometimes even waking up with my hands completely numb. With this new pillow I am sleeping very deeply, waking rested in the morning, and can now sleep on my back as well as my side. I have a long neck and broad shoulders, so I am very comfortable using all of the buckwheat in the pillow. I find the size of the pillow to be sufficient, even though it is smaller than a typical pillow. I don't have to readjust when I change my position. The sound of the buckwheat is sufficiently muffled by the quilted cover, just a gentle rustling, which I find soothing. My husband has been eyeing my new pillow, so I may be purchasing another soon.
I have a frozen rotator cuff and my physical therapist recommended that I purchase a buckwheat hull pillow. I knew that Overstock.com was the solution to finding exactly what I needed. The Premium Buckwheat Hull pillow that I bought at the site arrived quickly, giving me much relief and allowing me to sleep. Now my shoulder is healed, but I still sleep with this very comfortable pillow.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? perfectly
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Outstanding quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Extremely accurate!
By far the best pillow I have ever slept on. The only con for me was that unlike other reviewers this pillow did not come with enough fill so I had to order another 2 lb. bag to fit my need, I may like it harder than the usual person though. Pros are to many to list but I can say that this is the cheapest for what you get, comparable ones in this qaulity range are at least $85 if not more. I have probably bought 12 expensive pillows in the last 3 years (memory foam, center support, water filled etc.) and this supports my neck better and I do not wake up hurting in the morning and I seem to be better rested also.
I had a cervical ( neck ) fusion over 15 yrs ago & sleeping has always been a problem; just trying to get comfortable. Had a buckwheat travel pillow a while back. After about 2 nights, I really am thankful I ordered this one. Helpful to be able to add the hulls my self ! A restfull night"s sleep. Thanks.

Wanted to try a buckwheat hull pillow as I've heard they are comfortable. But it's not for me. I sent back after trying it out for 3 nights of sleeping. I think using one is a highly personal choice. Everyone is different....it may be just the right item for you. So, give it a try! I appreciated the fact I could send it back if I didn't like it. My money was promptly refunded. Overstock is an excellent place to purchase items. Thank you.

- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very Accurate Description
First of all, this is a very small pillow, its not standard size, its 13" x 18" x 4". I have purses bigger than this thing. Second, it's a do-it-yurself item. The item comes with a sack of hulls and the case and you fill it up. It did not expect that either. You can store the hulls in the freezer!!!! I hope no one cooks them up for dinner. Duh. Not what I expected and expensive for the small size. Maybe it'll be a travel pillow for the car?
My boyfriend and I have been in search of the elusive "perfect pillow" for years. We succeeded when we purchased our mattress (elsewhere), but kept finding pillows that felt nice at the store but we'd bring them home and after just a few weeks, we'd be back to stiff necks & pain upon waking. I had seen much smaller buckwheat pillows in Japantown (here in SF), and was intrigued- how could something so "hard" be something one would want to sleep on? I read everything I could about these pillows and they seem perfect for the aches and pains we were feeling from regular pillows. Feeling a little crazy one night, I splurged and bought us both a buckwheat piillow! I am SO HAPPY. This pillow cradles my neck, provides support where I need it, and is so squishable I can pretty much have it either be soft or firm or soft here and firm there. It's a standard size pillow and they send plenty of hulls to fill it with. Ours are both about 2/3 full and we're saving the rest if these flatten out a bit. Another thing I read was that they get quieter as you use them more- the buckwheat gets smoother from impaction? My daughter was having a hard time sleeping in her bed a few nights back, so I asked her if she wanted to sleep with me so I could rub her back. As I was rubbing her back (her head on the new buckwheat pillow) she asked 1. what she was sleeping on and 2. why I hadn't gotten her one!!! So, a 3rd has been ordered and we are counting the days until she gets hers.
This pillow is great for anyone with neck issues. I have always used a hard foam orthopaedic pillow with a price tag twice what this one was. I decided to try this one out and glad I did. This is NOT for anyone who likes a soft pillow. While the hulls do shift with the weight of your head, they are still quite firm. I like the way you can contour the hulls to a comfortable position. It is smaller then normal pillows but as I don't move around a lot at night it is a nonissue for me. Having received neck injuries in several auto accidents, this really keeps my neck aligned and keeps the headaches at bay. It is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone who needs the neck support.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? N/A
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The casing is well made and so far does not leak any hulls.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate.
I was surprised when I got the pillow in the mail (arrived very quickly by the way). The buckwheat hulls came packaged in a plastic bag and you fill the pillow casing to your liking (maybe it was in the description and I just didn't read it?). I also like that you can clean the hulls by putting them in the oven and the case is washable too. The first night, I didn't sleep very well so I decided to add more hulls. I slept on the pillow for the next several days but I still wasn't sleeping well and kept having headaches and neckaches the next morning. So, I am back to using my Tempurpedic pillow and using the buckwheat hull pillow as a body pillow--it's rather heavy and works well to lounge on.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? Good quality
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes
My biggest requirement was for a pillow which - was weighy - conformed - and stayed conformed! - to my neck and head - was like my old pillows my grandma and I made 40 years ago, from her chickens' feathers (RIP, chicks!) This pillow met my needs perfectly. Well, not PERFECTLY, in that it's not from my grandma.... but.... My condo building sustained a fire and I had to throw out all my pillows - years of collecting just the right ones, for when you want a flat pillow, a puffy sit-up pillow, a back-bracing pillow, etc. The hardest to replace were these pillows I use as my main sleeping pillow - that I can punch into a shape and IT STAYS THERE. My sleep preference on my side is a little hill under my neck, cradling my head, with a good indentation for my head/ear, and NOT a lift for the top of my head. THAT has been the problem.... I want to lie with a spine horizontal to the bed's plane. ______ not ______--- Finally, after many purchases - I have maybe ten pillows scattered around the king-size bed - this is the one I have settled on after a couple of weeks of trying. As I am displaced and not in my own bed (had to also be discarded..) this is the first time I've actually looked forward to going to bed - knowing I'm going to be comfortable. The pillow was at least double the price of any others that were recommended. I would pay double THIS price, even, for KNOWING it's the right pillow for me. (Ditto what everyone said about the process of putting in / taking out hulls.... I discarded about half at the outset, and haven't re-adjusted. I maybe would take more out, but that's not top on my to-do list as I clean out debris from my neighbor's thoughtless burning-down of our condo building... Sorry! Bitterness included for free with this review!!!)
This pillow helped out my issue of waking up with a sore neck. I was using pillows with too much down and it took a tole on my neck. I just bought one for my husband and he loves it too. It's more comfortable than you would think.
Say goodbye to neck pain. Also, this pillow regulates temperature so you don't get too hot. AWESOME. Highly Recommend

I have more than one administrator in a multisite installation. I want to give the client an administrator role, but also hide menus and theme options from him so he doesn't mess up the site.
Is this possible? How do I do it so it affects just him and not the other admins?

The thirst is real. Literally. This weekend in Miami is going to be in the high 80's. Staying hydrated is a must if you want to survive. But try to avoid thirst in the other sense too; that's never cute.
