Although there have been many Christmas mornings in my life there are some that are more memorable than others. All of the ones as a small boy are etched in my mind so deep that I can recall them as if they were only yesterday. That's because the one small gift I opened on Christmas morning was more than likely the only gift I would receive all year.

Today, it's hard to remember a time when it wasn't cool, to say the bad words. You know, the four letter ones. In conversation now people throw them out left and right and never think twice about it. Kids hear them every day at school, every night on TV, and in their music. If you've ever listened to a Rap song, you'll hear words only a drunken sailor would use on his worst drinking binge, over and over.

The story you are about to read is true and this really did happen to me.
My story takes place at my cousin's house in southern Ohio. I was deer hunting with Roy, my uncle Gilbert Ray's son, on the property around his home just like I had done for years.

It was a dark, calm summer night. My brothers and I along with our cousins Larry, Mark, and Terry were on a mission. It consisted of a trip to a place where few had ever gone during the day, much less in total darkness.

With the falling of the mercury this week my thoughts return to when I was a small boy and the things my parents did as they prepared for another winter.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WHAS11) -- By law, Kentucky pharmacies are already on the front lines of the fight against methamphetamine production.
But now many pharmacies are voluntarily stepping up their game. A new public awareness campaign is aimed at making some people think twice before buying medications containing pseudoephedrine.
The pharmaceutical industry fought Kentucky's new purchase limits of cold and allergy medicines tooth and nail, but it's now joining forces to publicize the problem.
Senator Robert Stivers says he will wait to see the effectiveness of the monthly limit on pseudoephedrine purchases before introducing tougher legislation.
The campaign is aimed at people called "smurfers" who buy legal medications containing pseudoephedrine for the purpose of illegally reselling them to people who use the drugs to make meth.
Posters at some pharmacies have two messages, first if you are buying cold and allergy medicines for a meth cook, you are committing a felony and putting someone's life at risk.
The other -- pharmacies are checking ID's when you buy medicines with pseudoephedrine - there's a database with other stores and police are following up on suspicious purchases.
"I think this anti-smurfing campaign will be a big help. And senate bill three that was passed in the last session, I think, is going to add to that," Gov. Steve Beshear (D) said. "You know, there's no ultimate answer that solves it all. And it's always going to be a problem, but we've got to really attack it aggressively."
But to some of the opponents of the new law, that aggressive approach is just another example of an overbearing government inserting itself into private lives…big brother.
"It's just one more thing that government has its hands into that it doesn't need to, to be involved in…," David Adams, Ky. Republican Liberty Caucus Chairman, said.

Francis Bacon
Peter Stark, Bonham's via European Pressphoto Agency
Oct. 28, 1909 to April 28, 1992
Francis Bacon, the Irish-born painter whose abstract images of psychological and physical brutality made him one of the most exalted, and most disliked artists of the postwar era, first gained acclaim in 1945, when he exhibited "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of the Crucifixion" at the Lefevre Gallery in London. His angrily drawn image of writhing half-human, half-animal forms, perched atop pedestals and set in claustrophobic spaces, seemed to epitomize the grim spirit of postwar England and established the painter immediately as a master of the macabre.
That reputation was to be reinforced time and again by the screaming popes, butchered carcasses and distorted portraits that Mr. Bacon turned out over the next four and a half decades. Critics noted his links with, among other things, the Surrealist art of Picasso and with German Expressionism. Detractors -- and there were always many of them, especially in the United States, where he seemed so out of step with the Abstract Expressionists of his generation -- dismissed his art as sensationalistic and slick. Museums around the world bought his work, but private collectors were often loath to decorate their homes with it. The former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once called him "that man who paints those dreadful pictures."
But Mr. Bacon maintained that he was simply a realist and did not aim to shock. "You can't be more horrific than life itself," he was fond of saying.

"The national FFA organization has different activities members can do on Agriculture Day. A lot of chapters are doing brunches for the farmers around their community, and we wanted to do something different and instead of having them all come to one place ... So we decided we would go around presenting certificates and as a token of appreciation for the farmers in our community," member Chantell Matthews said.
Member Madi Cornett's said her involvement in FFA and interest in agriculture is a family tradition.
"My whole family has done [FFA] and I live on a farm, and so it's kind of what I've grown up with and I'm real interested in [agriculture]. It's something you have to have a heart for," Cornett said.
She added, "[Farmers] give so much to us and it's just something little we can give back, and we really appreciate everything that has been given to us."
Among those presented with certificates was Bartow County Commissioner Steve Taylor.
"We wanted to get with Mr. Taylor and just thank him for everything he does to support agriculture and our whole county," Matthews said.
Taylor, whose father was a cotton and cattle farmer and who a former FFA member himself, said he appreciates seeing the traditions of agriculture and awareness for local farming live on as the population and infrastructure changes in Bartow County
"It speaks well of these young folks and it speaks well of our community to support these programs that are in our community," Taylor said.
"We're just so proud of these young folks for being future leaders of agriculture and business. FFA is import not just in the aspect of agriculture, but it trains them in so many aspects of life and responsibilities."
He added, "The experience they have in high school FFA, they'll carry it all their life. I know I was in FFA in high school and still remember those times well and the fun we had with it."
Members also presented a proclamation to those visited on Tuesday. According to the proclamation, which was read to Taylor by Matthews, "... We know that food and fiber doesn't just arrive at the grocery store — or magically appear on our dinner table or in our closet. There's an entire industry dedicated to providing plentiful and safe food for consumption — as well as a wide range of comfortable, fashionable clothing choices. We rely on agriculture for the very necessities of life. From beef and pork to cotton and corn, agriculture is working harder than ever to meet the needs of Americans and others around the world."
Businesses visited by the Cass FFA included Holt's Pharmacy, Storage Key, Tri-County Gin & Warehouse, Ladds Farm Supply, Taylor Farm Supply, John Deere and Husqvarna.

I've had other bows that had small bolts that are designed to keep the limb bolts from backing out. There's no such small bolts on my Scepter V. The previous owner of my Shadowcat had placed nylon bolts in the threaded holes in the riser that made contact with the limb bolts in order to keep the bolts from backing out, I guess.
My question is, are these retaining bolts necessary or not?

Sequencing is based on the use of an electronic system for the recording, editing, composing and reproduction of musical 'events' in the form of control signals for a synthesizer (hence an alternative title, 'event recorder') or sound files. Sequencing musical 'events' is defined by the nature of these signals - analogue voltages in the case of a synthesizer based on voltage control, or digital in the case of those instruments using either a proprietary digital interface or, since the end of 1982, MIDI, now in universal use.

This wikipage contains proceedings of the PM SW Workshop held in Bangalore on 7-11 Jun, 2010
[edit] HWMOD Framework Enhancements
[edit] Reset Management Support in HWMOD
- Problem Statement
- Most processor IPs do have a HW reset signal controlled by the PRM.
- There is currently no abstraction layer to control the PRM reset register.
- Since these reset signals are IP specific, they should be controlled manually by the driver code.
- Proposed Solution
- Add two APIs for asserting / deasserting reset lines in hwmods processor that require manual reset control.
- Add one API to get the current reset state.
- RFC Patches
- RFC Patches Branch: hwmod_reset
[edit] More Granular HWMOD Structures
- Problem Statement
- Today hwmod structs are generated at a module level for DSS and IPU (Ducati).
- However the drivers require control at submodule level. E.g. The DSS2 driver would require to control sub-modules like dispc, dsi1, dsi2, hdmi etc.
- Also the syslink and IOMMU drivers need control at individual M3 level
- Proposed Solution
- Generate hwmod structs at sub-module level.
- Need to decide if hierarchical control is needed
- RFC Patches
- RFC Patches Branch: hwmod_dss
[edit] Multi-level omap_device_idle
- Problem Statement
- Today most drivers only use one level of device_idle by populating activate/ deactivate_func as omap_device_idle_hwmods/ omap_device_enable_hwmods
- omap_device_idle_hwmods disables the device clocks, if they happen to be the last set of clocks in the clockdomian, the clockdomain transitions to inactive and the powerdomain to the target state programmed (Deepest possile by default)
- How do we support multiple levels of device idling? So that drivers can prevent going to the deepest idle state incase latency is not acceptable.
- Proposed Solution
- Use device latency constraint to control the powerdomain (of the device) target state.
- Start with mapping the different device idle states with the different powerdomain states supported.
- Keep the activate/deactivate_func same as before.
- RFC Patches
Placeholder for patches from Vibhore to support device latency contraint
[edit] Access to HWMOD Internal Data
- Problem Statement
- Information stored in hwmod structs are not directly accessible to drivers. There might be instances when this is needed.
- E.g. A driver requesting for optional clocks can do away with knowing the clock name string.
- Syslink, which needs to request for i2c1 clocks can request for i2c hmwod main_clk.
- Proposed Solution
- Discuss and identify a list of all the hwmod internal data that might be needed by drivers and define apis for each of them - Rajendra
[edit] Miscellaneous Issues
- Today omap_device_build provides a way to only pass platform_data structure during device registration. How do you pass other info which needs to be part of struct device? E.g. in the case of USB driver, there is a need to populate the dma_mask.
- Is usecounting needed at omap_device level?
- More to be added as identified during discussions
[edit] Minutes & Action Items
- Aligned on all the discussions and PPT presented by Benoit & Rajendra
- Aligned on Latency measurements; need to identify the resources to do it
- Need to check with Tomi Valkeinen if he is going to maintain DSS going forward or is he planning to transfer the role to some one else (Vaibhav?)
- Other HF Clock frequencies are not currently validated on TI boards. Can TI build boards that take external clock input?
- Need to check if the power domain and device transition latencies can be supplied by the HW team as a part of HW spec.
- It's OK to have worst case numbers in terms of clock cycles & the clock being used. This is because absolute numbers will vary with clock frequency.
- Additional HWMOD Enhancements Identified
- rt_va : hwmod Paul
- ifdef !CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, leave enabled : hwmod Kevin
- dev-> init_name : Thara, Kevin
- Add clk_add_alias() to omap_device_build : omap_device/ hwmod Paul
- Add PRCM reset code for processor IPs & connect to HWMOD_INIT_NO_RESET : hwmod Benoit
- Fix hwmod locking by adding lockless enable/ idle functions : device/ hwmod Kevin
- Syslink needs to call device driver functions to reserve devices : syslink/ other devices? Is a HWMOD processor reset API necessary? Benoit
- Connect omap_device lifecycle to device/ platform_device: hwmod Paul
- Integration code that needs to set dev->dma_mask need to call get_device()/ put_device() : Integration code
- Fine grained hwmod locking Paul
- Add power domain/ clock domain wakeup latency tracking
- Fix OMAP4 hwmod generator to generate HWMOD_NO_IDLEST Partha
- Remove OCP_USER from OMAP4 hwmods without address space: OMAP4 autogen Partha
[edit] Power Domain And Clock Domain Cleanup
Aligned on the following two phase approach
- Phase 1
- Clean up instances of usage of PRM/ CM APIs outside power domain & clock domain frameworks. Move these instances to appropriate frameworks.
- This work can go ahead – there is enough clarity.
- Need to figure out how to handle PRM FSM in some of the APIs - Rajendra & Benoit
- Phase 2
- Split the power domain and clock domain framework into platform and platform independent parts
- Adopt the approach of doing the changes first and then moving
- Some work has been done by Abhijit but need more discussions
[edit] SRF Replacement - Constraints Part
[edit] Types of Latency Constraints
- Interrupt latency or System latency
- This is the total amount of time taken once an interrupt occurs to the time the interrupt handler is scheduled.
- Depends mainly on the system sleep state or C state.
- Since different C states take different amount of time to wakeup, the interrupt/ system latency constraint actually governs the deepest C state acceptable to the system at any given time.
- Device latency constraint
- This is the total amount of time taken for a device to become accessible.
- It includes turning the clocks on, bringing the clockdomain out of inactive, power domain out of RET or OFF (with context restore) state.
- This constraint mainly governs the deepest device idle state (only clocks cut, clockdomain in inactive, Powerdomain in RET or off) acceptable to the device at any given time.
[edit] Details of Interrupt Latency
- pm_qos framework (kernel/pm_qos_params.c) already has support for CPU_DMA_LATENCY
- The CPUidle menu governor also looks at CPU_DMA_LATENCY before deciding on the target C state
- The omap-pm apis (omap_pm_set_max_mpu_wakeup_lat and omap_pm_set_max_sdma_lat) and be used to internally update the pm-qos framework which already does use-counting.
- Something like a pdev->name can be used to identify the device putting the constraint.
[edit] Details of Device Latency
- When a device is ready to idle, it calls the omap_device_idle api. Today, this turns the clocks off and eventually the clockdomain/powerdomains transition to the respective states.
- Without any device latency constraints in place a device calling omap_device_idle could hit a OFF state.
- The initial proposal is to map device states to various powerdomain states supported.
- The omap-pm api (omap_pm_set_max_dev_wakeup_lat) called by the device will map to a given powerdomain state acceptable to the device.
- This can be implemented by extending the current powerdomain framework to keep track of all the devices in the domain and their acceptable latencies. For each powerdomain, latency information for each state supported will also be needed.
- Implementing the api will involve identifying the powrdomain the device belongs to, determining the lowest acceptable latency among *all* other devices in the powerdomain and then mapping the latency to the target powerdomain state.
[edit] Proposed Implementation
- OMAP PM layer - API's exported to driver are defined here
- Are all drivers going to be of type omap_device?
- Design for existing omap-pm vs. omap_device layer?
- -1 to release constraint, otherwise 0 or higher (acceptable latency in us)
- We can't assume that only releasing the constraint will lower power
- Lowering the constraint can still trigger power state change
void omap_pm_set_max_dev_wakeup_lat(struct device *dev, long t) { /* existing code */ 1. Look for devices' power domain (might be multiple step if starting with general device) 2. Use device name as identifier for constraint request if (t == -1) pwrdm_release_wakeup_lat_constraint (pwrdm, lat_dev_name); else pwrdm_set_wakeup_lat_constraint (pwrdm, lat_dev_name, t); }
- Power domain layer – constraint enforcement/ tracking implemented here
- How does the state change happen? Just by programming next state?
- powerdomain struct extended to capture following:
- Power domain's wakeup latency for each supported power state
- List header for wakeup latency constraint placed by all devices in this domain; can be defined in powerdomains44
struct powerdomain { /* existing entries*/ const u32 wakeup_lat[PWRDM_MAX_PWRSTS-1]; static LIST_HEAD(wakeup_lat_constraint_list); } static struct powerdomain core_44xx_pwrdm = { .wakeup_lat = { 50, /* off */ 20, /* ret */ -1 for not supported power state 0, /* inactive */ Do we have to worry about OSWR? } }
- 3 Scenarios: new constraint, update old constraint, or release it
pwrdm_set_wakeup_lat_constraint (struct powerdomain *pwrdm, char *lat_dev_name, long lat_us){ 1. If new constraint, add a new entry to wakeup_lat_constraint_list 2. If already existing, update entries' latency value 3. pwrdm_check_for_state_change (pwrdm) } pwrdm_release_wakeup_lat_constraint (struct powerdomain *pwrdm, char *lat_dev_name){ 1. Remove this devices' constraint from wakeup_lat_constraint_list 2. pwrdm_check_for_state_change (pwrdm) } pwrdm_check_for_state_change (struct powerdomain *pwrdm){ 1. min_latency = find_min_wakeup_latency_constraint (pwrdm) //go through the list for minimum latency value 2. find power state that has latency lower than minimum constraint for (new_state = 0x0; new_state < PWRDM_MAX_PWRSTS; new_state++){ if (pwrdm->wakeup_lat[i] < min_latency) break; } 3. if (pwrdm->state != new_state) pwrdm_set_next_pwrst (pwrdm, new_state); // existing function to program next state }
[edit] Minutes & Action Items
- Use device wakeup latency instead of device latency.
- Need to start pursuing the HW team to provide wakeup latency numbers – this is a very much needed in the long run; and it is needed for complete entitlement of HW PM features by the SW
- Aligned on Vibhore's proposal + comments provided during the meeting (e.g. structures suggested by Paul during meeting); Vibhore can go ahead with the implementation
.wakeuplat = { [FUNC-PWRST-OFF] = 50, [FUNC-PWRST-OSWR] = 30, [FUNC-PWRST-CSWR] = 5, [FUNC-PWRST-ON] = 0, }; .func_pwrsts = (FUNC_PWRST_OFF | FUNC_PWRST_OSWR | FUNC_PWRST_CSWR | FUNC_PWRST_ON) 1 << FUNC_PWRST_OFF pwrdm_wakelat_set_constraint pwrdm_wakeuplat_remove_constraint pwrdm_wakeuplat_update_pwrst)
- The open question is how we measure the latencies and who will do it.
[edit] SRF Replacement - OPP Part
Aligned on using device based OPP approach & maintaining constraints in voltage layer for OPP part of SRF replacement. Sufficient details have been worked out to proceed with the basic DVFS implementation of VDD MPU, VDD IVA & VDD Core voltage domains.
[edit] RFC Patches
Here is a work-in-progress patch that shows work done so far and some of the review comments addressed. Please note that this is in no way completed, compiling, clean patch. It is provided to have a better idea of the changes proposed and discussed.
File:SRF Replacement OPP Part RFC Patch.pdf
[edit] Minutes & Action Items
- Attaining VDD MPU, VDD IVA & VDD Core DVFS basic functionality
- Shift in approach from voltage domain based OPP to device based OPP
- OPP will be stored in separate SOC dependent file from other clock, hwmod, voltage files.
- These will be loaded into memory and then board-specific modifications will be done.
- The device HWMODs will point to the dynamic versions of the device-OPPs.
- Kevin is targeting it for the next merge window – should be doable by month end but needs Thara's full bandwidth
- Kevin will do the data structural changes and get them working with existing SRF – Kevin (initial version posted: 16 June)
- Then Thara will take it and remove the SRF.
- Then Thara will implement the new APIs for DVFS & omap device layer viz. omap_device_set_min_rate(hwmod, rate) & omap_device_get_cur_rate(dev) These internally will call set_rate() & get_rate() of the HWMOD.
- Once VDD Core OPP changes, the changing of scalable functional clocks (for affected IPs as per the Excel sheet) will be done by HWMOD function implementations.
- The final part will be to extend the voltage layer to take care of constraints and cross VDD dependencies (they are there in OMAP3 code but needs to be transformed to the new format)
- Kevin suggested to use plist (priority assigned doubly linked lists) for this purpose
- Shift in approach from voltage domain based OPP to device based OPP
- Enhancement to allow drivers to block or allow rate change of their scalable clocks
- The following APIs need to be added to the clock framework to allow drivers to block or allow rate change of their scalable clocks (& their parents)
- The APIs are clock_block_change(), clock_allow_change(), is_clock_rate_change_allowed() – Paul is OK if some one also picks up this.
- Need to ensure that the implementation doesn't result into race conditions
- This is needed for OMAP4 VDD Core DVFS implementation for handling of corner cases. E.g. if a driver doesn't want to allow functional or optional clock change. Today's SRF doesn't support this and there are no major issues with it.
[edit] Review of Device Driver HWMOD Adaptations
[edit] MUSB
- MUSB team to investigate whether omap_device_enable_wakeup() and omap_device_disable_wakeup() functions need to be added to take care of an errata
- Current user of this will be MUSB but in future other drivers can also use this
[edit] MMC
- Can Suspend & Runtime Suspend implementations be made common? This will lead to early suspend from the drivers. - MMC team to explore this option
[edit] DSS
- Using detailed DSS sub-module specific hwmod requires imeplementing dispc_device-dispc_driver, dsi_driver, dsi_device-dsi_driver as platform_devices - Senthil to plan
- Follow-up discussion on this with Tomi needed for finalizing on the design - Senthil
- Check if the DSS DPLLs are same as that of the main OMAP3,4 dplls. This will aid in the decision of if Clock-FW could also address DSS DPLLs. - Senthil
[edit] DMA
- Manjunath to add the HWMOD data first before doing the registration.
- Manjunath to add Channel count etc in dev_attr.
- Manjunath to move DMA implementation into device drivers & have exported APIs. One more reason is to have a generic driver hiding SDMA & EDMA under the hood.
- Manjunath to do the platform device conversion.
- Manjunath to do HWMOD changes
- Manjunath to do the conversion into plat-omap & mach-omap layers getting rid of cpuxx checks.
- Manjunath to move plat-omap to driver layer
- Next step could be to implement Async Tx DMA support.
- Manjunath & Santosh to align with the DMA maintainer (firstname.lastname@example.com)
[edit] General Minutes and Action Items
- All hwmods need to be tested only through run-time PM.
- This is true for all other drivers.
- If CONFIG_RUNTIME_PM is not enabled, hw-mod initialization should keep the clocks turned-on.
- Review all h/w-attrs and segregate into Class specific dev-attrs is appropriate.
- All HWMOD data should not be introduced in one-shot. HWMOD database for a particular device should be introduced incrementally as the driver gets modified and tested.
- SmartReflex should be targeted for the Aug end merge window.
- There is need to have more meetings between maintainers (Paul, Kevin, Tony) and the key HW IP designers for the following reasons
- For HW designers to understand how "hacks" or "one of cases" negatively impact Linux SW design (making it complex and difficult to manage)
- For maintainers to better understand constraints of HW design so that they can suggest a better SW modeling solution

Planting in Uganda. Coffee—Para Rubber—Cocoa
Planting in Uganda. Coffee—Para Rubber—Cocoa is a comprehensive analysis of plantation agriculture in early 20th-century Uganda, written by two senior managers of Ugandan companies. As stated in the preface, it was intended to assist white planters who were attracted to Uganda by the fertile soils and favorable climate but who, in many cases, had no knowledge of agricultural conditions in the country. It deals with three main products—coffee, Para rubber (today usually simply referred to as rubber), and cocoa—and focuses on two provinces, Buganda and Bugosa ...

2010 Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway: Cisco Valet 802.11n wireless router
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Wireless / WiFi, Women, Men, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500
The Cisco Valet wireless router is next in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide, and we're giving away three of these home hotspots to your readers, but more on that below. First, the basics - we're recommending the Valet because, quite simply, it's simple. Cisco has made setting up an 802.11n network in the home super easy, with automatic security, guest access, parental controls, and more. This takes away the guesswork, which means less time for you to spend playing tech support specialist when your family and friends have network issues. See? It's like a gift to yourself as well! They typically sell for $99, but Amazon has them for $64.99, which is a killer deal.
Okay, now on to the details of the giveaway. We've got three Cisco Valet routers to give away, but as we said, they are meant to be simple. You set them up, and you are done. We know our readers are a bit more techie than that, so we've upped the ante a bit. Each winner will receive two Cisco routers - one Cisco Valet, and one Cisco Linksys E2000 Advanced 802.11n router! That way, you can keep the feature-packed Linksys for yourself, and give the Valet to a tech-challenged loved one as a gift.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide Giveaway: Alpaca from the Oxfam Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Internet, Family, Women, Men, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500
We've been listing a bunch of gadgets and toys in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide, but we've heard it said many times that the holidays have become, like, "so commercial." Hey, we aren't ones to turn a shiny new gadget away, but we also understand that sometimes it's better to help those who are in serious need. That said, we wanted to point you to Oxfam America. The company allows you to gift a tangible charitable gift to a family in need, as their goal is to help put an end to poverty and injustice. We're talking about real animals here. You can donate a dozen baby chicks, a goat (or a full tribe of goats!), sheep, cows, honey bees, and more. Heck, you can even donate manure. We wanted to help get the word out, and to do so, we're gonna give away an alpaca.
Alpacas are doe-eyed with cashmere-soft fur and flourish at altitudes well over 10,000 feet. Because few other animals are as hardy, these camelids are vital to Andean communities. Your gift of an alpaca meadow ensures plenty of nutrient-rich grass to help herds weather tough winters. And that means a lot to families who rely on these critters.
Yeah, we also like them because they look absolutely ridiculous...and seriously, who gives away an alpaca? We do. The winner will receive a code that they can redeem on the Oxfam website, allowing them to donate an alpaca for free to a family in need. If you win, you can even gift that code to someone else, we just want it to be put to good use.
Here's how to enter:
- Follow the Gear Live Twitter account
- On Twitter, post this tweet about our contest: "Hey @gearlive hook me up with that ridiculous alpaca! http://gear.lv/e-alpaca" (Click here to tweet this now)
That's it! Remember, you've gotta have a Twitter account (they're free), and you've gotta be following the Gear Live Twitter account so that we can send you a DM if you're the winner. This one is only open to residents of the US. We will be announcing a winner on December 10, so you've got the rest of this week to qualify.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: SleepTracker Pro Elite
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wearables, Features, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250, Under $500
Worn like an everyday watch, SleepTracker Pro Elite is ideal for anyone who wants to wake up alert and ready to start the day, such as frequent travelers across time zones, business people looking for an extra edge, students with fluctuating schedules, or busy moms who need to wake up easily (see our original SleepTracker review.) That sounds like just about everyone, so we figured it was a good candidate for our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. SleepTracker may find multiple almost-awake moments within the sleep cycle. Almost-awake moments may also vary in frequency throughout the night. By monitoring your sleep cycles for optimal waking moments during the preset ALARM WINDOW, SleepTracker finds those almost awake-moments and gently wakes you when you're most alert. The result? You wake up refreshed instead of groggy.
You can pick up the SleepTracker Pro Elite for $175 on Amazon. There's a male version and a female version.
2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Zomm wireless smartphone leash
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones, Features, Wireless / WiFi, Family, Women, Men, Techies, Teens, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500
We've spent some time with the Zomm "wireless leash" and have come away impressed by the simplicity of the device, as it's one of those things that make you wonder why a product like it hasn't been available until now. With that, we thought it would be a good inclusion in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. The Zomm can be attached to your keychain, and connects to your smartphone over Bluetooth. Once paired, it becomes your wireless alarm system for your phone. For example, if you walk away from your phone, Zomm will sound a notification alarm and start vibrating, letting you know that you've left your device more than 30 feet away. This way, you don't leave a restaurant without your phone, or spend forever looking for it because you left it in the car (or, that you are in your car driving and left your phone at home!) Cool enough, but it does more.
Zomm also has an integrated speaker and microphone, so it also acts as a hands-free calling device. If your phone rings, Zomm will ring as well, and you just press the Z button to take the call without having to fish around for your phone while driving. Zomm also has a built-in panic alarm. Hold down the Z button and the alarm will go off. Continue holding it, and the Zomm will use the Bluetooth connection to your phone to dial 911, and it will let you speak with the authorities right from the Zomm device. This is seriously a cool piece of technology that is a must-have for those people who constantly leave their smartphones behind in cabs and restaurants, or just anyone who wants an extra layer of security with them at all times. You can get a Zomm from Newegg for $79.99.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: 11-inch MacBook Air
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Features, PC / Laptop, Women, Men, Techies
Apple's smallest notebook is the MacBook Air, and all signs are pointing to this being the best-selling Mac this holiday season, so we had to include it in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. The 11-inch MacBook Air packs in speedy flash memory that is soldered directly onto the motherboard, resulting is lightning-fast performance. It also means no moving parts, so you get five hours of battery life from the tiny little wonder, and it even sports a full-sized keyboard, which we feel is a must (and is one of our main complaints with other netbooks.) The price starts at $999 from Apple, but hey, if you go with Amazon then its $994 with free shipping, and MacMall has them starting at $969--not bad for the most portable Mac out there.
2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Icon Rogue 2 LED flashlight
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Household, Men, Under $50
Sure, we wanna cover all the cool stuff in our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide, but we also wanna hit you with some stuff that's practical as well, and the Icon Rogue 2 LED flashlight fits that bill. It's powered by two AA batteries (included int he package) that lasts for 72 hours, and has overwhelming light output. The body is an aerospace-grade aluminum that can withstand just about anything--seriously, it feels like you can prop up a car with this thing to change a tire. The handle is an open architecture design that doesn't cause your hand to get all sweaty. It's got two light output settings, and low was bright enough for anything we wanted to do with it. Setting it to high shows the power of this thing though, which we are sure is super helpful in an emergency, or just messing around in the darkness of night. They retail for $49.99, and if you've got a Radio Shack near you, you can find them there. We've also found them on Amazon for $34.99.

2010 Holiday Gift Guide: Amazon Kindle
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features, Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250
The latest release of the Amazon Kindle, the company's ebook reader, seriously changed the game in the ereader world. It's thinner and lighter than any previous model, it packs in Wi-Fi for the first time, and it is much cheaper despite being the best Kindle they've made to date, and that's why we're adding it to our 2010 Holiday Gift Guide. You can get the Wi-Fi model for just $139, or if you need the Wi-Fi + 3G model, that one goes for $189. Thing is, we'd bet that most anyone would do just fine with the Wi-Fi only model, and for $139, you get a cool gadget that book lovers will...uh...love! They're available in white and graphite colors, and we'd recommend picking on up sooner rather than later, because these are gonna be a hot one this year.

In the event that damage occurs in transit, or if you discover any defect in manufacture, please contact us at 800.606.6462 or, for orders placed through a store, please contact the store where the sale originated within 7 days of delivery.
Likewise, if you are not satisfied with your stock furniture purchase for any reason, please contact us within that same 7-day window. (Notably, for Stock Plus and Custom upholstery items, returns and exchanges are limited to transit damage or manufacturing defect.) If contacted within that 7-day window, we will arrange a pick-up of the items and will accept a return provided the return is completed within 90 days of delivery.
Upon return, your merchandise will be inspected. Appropriate exchanges, credits and refunds will be issued for the purchase price of the item(s) and for any taxes due to be refunded in accordance with applicable state law. Shipping and delivery charges are nonrefundable, and return shipping or pickup fees may apply. In addition, in certain circumstances, a usage or restocking fee also may apply. Orders eligible for cancellation will be refunded in the original form of tender.

You take all the time you need
