"Can you change the angle of the 'upper part'? And, if so, how do you do it? I am guessing that there is Velcro between the two pieces, and you can move them to change the angle...? I'm wondering, because the angle, as shown, would be too high for me to sleep on."

I've got back issue so laying flat is not an option, this system looked like it was a solution while reading in bed. The pieces are hard as rock and the bigger leg piece is HEAVY. Once you set the pieces up, they aren't moving but because they're are so hard there's no give and after 15 minutes it's like I was leaning on rocks! My back was miserable. You should beware that when I tried to return it after having it one night, Overstock told me it was not a returnable item, like bedding. I had to go up to a Supervisor level who then agreed to take the item back. As this item description DID NOT advise it was not returnable I purchased it believing in the Overstock return policy. Also, the item arrives super compressed but once opened you've got three LARGE pieces so returning meant taking all pieces to UPS and having them help me package it in one mother box. Thanks UPS! Not impressed with this product nor with how Overstock initially handled my return request. I haven't bought anything from this sight since as they got me skittish on returns. That's the KEY for all online shopping - HASSLE FREE RETURNS!Read More

PERFECT set of pillows
I bought this with my fingers, eyes and toes crossed b/c there were no other reviews! Well I am happy to report that this 'system' of pillows is perfect! Yes it seems expensive but it's so worth it. For anyone that needs to be semi-upright whether it's for congestion, reading or any other reason, these pillows offer superior support and b/c the angle is adjustable simply by moving the largest wedge up or down. And the behind the knee booster is awesome too! If reading in bed you'll have to supply your own little pillow but I'm sure almost everyone has an extra soft one laying around. Get it! You won't regret it. But it is BIG! But I don't find that an issue but someone else may. It' takes up one side of our queen bed.Read More
good for apnea
I've got mild sleep apnea, and I did a little experimentation on myself, lying on my back, totally relaxing, and opening my lips to try breathing. I found that my throat closes up, but if I'm sitting up, it stays open. I tried cpap (horrible) and dental plates (painful), and I thought I'd try to see if there was a comfortable way to sleep sitting up. And I have to be at a pretty steep angle for my throat to stay open, so those other wedges wouldn't do. This pillow system took some getting used to, but after a few days, I don't wake up struggling to breathe anymore. And I wake up with a healthy pink color, not gray. I honestly don't know why doctors push the cpap over something like this. Powerful cpap lobby, I guess. Anyway, I do have to supplement it with a tiny, squishy pillow at the base for lumbar support, and I use one of those airline pillows for my head, because otherwise my head would flop left or right, and I'd wake up with a neckache. It's not as comfy as sleeping on my side, but I guess those days are over, and this is a great alternative to having a heart attack!Read More
Good system
I needed this to sleep with, because lying flat is painful for me. This is pretty good, except that I have to put pillows at my sides for my arms. I was concerned whether it would be firm enough, and it is quite firm enough. I'm very happy with that. For sleeping I found it to feel a bit not right for ME, but others would likely have different experiences. SO, what I did was put a memory foam pad, a thick one over the top pieces after I got the wedges how I wanted them. Then the leg wedge on top of the memory foam pad. And a nice, big, fluffy pillow on each side, a big pillow under my feet (beyond the leg wedge, a pillow under my head, of course, and it is wonderful, just great. And yes, I would buy it again. So, if you buy one, move the pieces around until you find just the right positions for you. Likely you won't have to do all that I did. Especially since the top adjusts so beautifully. I really like that feature. A genius designed this, no doubt!Read More
Perfect for surgery recovery
I purchased this pillow system to provide day and night support after my abdominal surgery. I am very impressed with the quality and over all comfort of this product; so much so, I refer to other patients. I highly recommend!Read More
I love it
I have heart and breathing problems due to Lyme disease and have had to sleep propped up using 8 pillows for the last two years. I found this Wedge system and decided to give it a try. I love it! It works great and I've been really happy with it. You can adjust it up or down and use it with or without the knee pillow. Of course you need another pillow for you head, but I had plenty to choose from already :) I found it very comfortable and was used to sleeping on it in two nights.Read More

Rotor cuff surgery

I have only 48% lung capacity so I must be propped up so that I can get enough O2 and also have both knees replaced and a bad back and so I need the legs also propped up. I have been sleeping on the couch for the last 4 years as it was the only way I could arrange the pillows correctly. I am really looking forward to sleeping in a bed next to my husband. I have all my fingers and toes crossed praying it will work as good for me as it did for the other buyers who left reviews. Thank you for putting it on sale as I could not afford $400.00. I will let others know if it works for me. Sincerely Barbara
Positive reviews. It looks sturdy and flexible (sitting up, and sleeping on an incline). Allows more height for inclined sleeping.

All too often, an organization's focus on cybersecurity looks outward to external threats, solutions and guidance. But the real problem might not only be inside, but within the organizational structures that comprise an agency's operations writ large.
While the insider threat is a hot topic and a very real concern, it is the division between internal teams – specifically the IT and information security operations teams -- which can allow the opportunity for insiders to go bad. Combined with a lack of awareness or support at the top, the fractured approach can equal a cracked cybersecurity foundation.
"There is a disconnect between the C-suite staff, those business managers, the IT staff and the information security staff," said Rich Cespiva, assistant professor of cyber at the information and integrated operations department, part of National Defense University's iCollege "Does your information security team have an understanding of your organization that actually rivals what your C-suite staff and higher-level managers have? Because having an understanding of what your agency does and how it does it leads to an enhanced and protected posture."
Cespiva spoke Oct. 16 at an FCW-sponsored cybersecurity event in Washington, D.C.
Having those teams operating in separate silos can be costly from a security and financial standpoint, particularly when a single cyberattack can end up costing an agency millions of dollars. It is a risk that continues to grow as increasingly high-tech solutions are introduced and systems become more interdependent amid shared services.
Information security and IT operations "being disconnected ultimately leads to lapses in security and puts data and systems at risk," said Sanjay Castelino, vice president of market leader network management business at SolarWinds Inc., an IT management and monitoring software firm. "This is not a new risk, but as systems have grown more complex, the risk of [information security and IT operations] running from different sets of data, viewed through the lens of different systems, can make it harder to identify threats and address them in a timely manner."
Central to the issue is the ease of accessing and sharing data that is critical to enterprise security, including what is happening on the organization's networks. Conventionally that data has been used to monitor network availability and performance, but exploiting it for security and forensic uses can better secure the network, Castelino noted.
The goal is to have all the data collected available to both IT and information security operations as common tools, allowing for more of a continuous-monitoring approach.
"Talking the same language, seeing the same data – that wasn't always the case in the past," Castelino said. "That's a big shift. It means there are efficiencies gained because you're not either buying or building completely disparate separate systems, you're investing together in solutions that will help access shared data."

The new $7.5 billion SETI acquisition program aims to rapidly contract innovative technologies and solutions across the Defense Department.
The Department of Commerce is revising its confidentiality agreement for statistical data survey respondents to reflect the fact that the Department of Homeland Security could see some of that data if it is captured by the Einstein system.
In a Feb. 17 memo, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told senior leadership to establish teams to look for duplication across the armed services in business operations, including in IT and cybersecurity.
State election officials had more questions than answers after a Department of Homeland Security presentation on the designation of election systems as critical U.S. infrastructure.
The government desperately needs younger talent to replace an aging workforce, and experts say that a freeze on hiring doesn't help.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will test an internally developed scheduling module at primary care sites nationwide to see if it's ready to service the entire agency.
None of this is new. Info Sec professionals have been touting this message for some time. There are several reasons the message hasn't been getting though, though. 1. The C-suite has difficulty translating security investments into business value. In many cases security is seen as a capital expense, part of a risk mitigation strategy, and while partially true, the actual risks involved are largely intangible and hard to define in a way that follows common business logic. Trust but verify is not a good model for mitigating insider threats.
2. Budget priorities. Security is often seen as a separate item from IT operations and infrastructure, and without some type of ROI or intrinsic business value, getting sufficient budget for the physical and personnel needs can be an uphill battle.
3. Lack qualified security personnel. There is a huge gap in understanding about the actual needs of security personnel are. There are two kinds - process, and applied. The issue is that you need both, as it is rare to find individuals with sufficient depth in both, which presents a different kind of security concern, similar to the issue with dev-ops being given authoritative control over systems. Separation of duties and collusion awareness are absolutely critical to managing the insider threat risk. It is, for some reason, extraordinarily difficult to convey this to C-suite in a way that begets appropriate actions.

Gratin d'Aix En Provence
Serves 6
Time and time again throughout this book, you will find I use the term stir-fry for cooking fresh vegetables. This is a technique that has entered modern French cookery from Oriental cuisine, where vegetables are cooked quickly in a little oil, just to the point where they are no longer raw but still retain their crispy texture, all their flavor, and all their vitamins. It is a quick and easy technique to perfect -- the important thing is to keep stirring so the vegetables are cooked evenly, and to slice vegetables evenly and finely and put them in the pan in the order of the length of time they take to cook. (For example, you would put carrots in before mushrooms.)
This dish is inspired by the colors and flavors of Provence. I like to think that it would have been enjoyed by the artist Paul Cezanne, who was born in Aix, and whose sister, Rose, married my ancestor Maxime Conil.
8 oz. (225 g) new potatoes, thinly sliced
1 fennel bulb, thinly sliced
Olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 large eggplants (aubergines),
thinly sliced, soaked in cold water
for 30 minutes, drained, and patted dry
4 zucchini (courgettes), thinly sliced
2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 oz. (225 g) firm goats cheese, crumbled
12 black olives, pitted and chopped
2 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 oz. (60 g) dried whole-wheat (wholemeal) breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon each chopped fresh basil and thyme
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Boil the potatoes and fennel separately until just tender. Refresh in cold water, drain, pat dry. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Heat a little olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan and stir-fry the onion for 2 minutes, then add the fennel, eggplants, and zucchini, and fry for a further 3 minutes. Season to taste.
In a large, greased earthenware dish, place a layer each of half the potatoes, half the vegetable mixture, then half the tomatoes. Sprinkle with half the goat's cheese, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and thyme. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Top with the breadcrumbs and drizzle a little olive oil over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden and sizzling. Serve immediately.

Unfortunately, there's lots not to like in today's strip.* We can start off with the utter redundancy of panel one where Wendy repeats herself from panel three of yesterday's strip – once again bolstering my supposition that the creators are catering to the Memento disease crowd. Not only that but the rendering of Wendy seems awfully similar – although not quite the same – as previous drawings.
The best thing about panel two is that it gives me a clear view of the design of the windows which so confused me two weeks ago. I'll confess to not having spent a great deal of time looking at windows as opposed to through them, but that glazing seems awfully fancy for a public school. Side note: Is Mimi sitting in a wheel chair? You tell me.
Finally, we come to panel three. Sure, the first two panels could have been used to show what happened during the game (or even to move the plot forward ever so slightly more than letting us know that Shelby was in fact suspended) but, nope, we're just going to show the team desultorily shambling into the inky blackness of the unlit locker room. I feel ripped off that we didn't even get the customary post-game on-court impromptu conversations. Maybe they had to stop allowing that after the riot at Oakwood…
* UPDATE: Sorry, I'm a little grumpy this morning. While I mostly stand by that statement, there is a lot to like about the line: "No one said I had to level that cow… But I'm glad I did!"

Final exams ended last week and now the children of Muñoz are on summer vacation. To prepare for the upcoming school year, we will attempt to hold some teacher training sessions. The reason I say "attempt" is because we are pioneers in this specific type of school and we're working to develop a somewhat new, integrated curriculum so training teachers in a developing curriculum is not easy. We are attempting to move more and more toward teaching in Creole. This is met with resistance from some teachers, especially older teachers, because they were forced to do school in French growing up in Haiti. Now they are an immigrant in the Dominican Republic. Creole is spoken in the home and Spanish is spoken in society. What good does French do? Some are offended when told this directly but it is a truth that must be considered when considering the best way to prepare students for their future. Therefore, when teacher trainings are held, this discussion often rises and lots of focus has to be on changing the mindset of teachers. Hopefully this summer we will be able to move past that and have some more productive teacher training sessions. A member of our board of directors, a Haitian professor in the department of international outreach and research at Virginia Tech, tentatively plans to take a trip down to hold some teacher training sessions. We hope he can make it!
Also, regretfully, the morning director and one of the school's co-founders, Evantz Lafontant, will not be continuing with the school this upcoming school year. He abused the trust given to him by fellow co-founder and afternoon director Garry Jacques, Project Esperanza leadership, and the teaching staff. He solicited aid from a visiting Canadian man, telling him that the school was unsupported and teachers worked simply out of the goodness of their hearts. This man then began sending Lafontant funds to support the school which Lafontant pocketed. He then began acting disruptively and strangely attacking the afternoon school and director by putting foreign locks on classroom doors so that teachers would arrive at school unable to enter and teach. On the last day of school he boarded up the building so that the afternoon school could not hold their final exams. The director removed the boards and held class as normal. Lafontant showed up at the school halfway through, asked Garry how he had entered, and ordered the students to leave. Half of the students had not yet finished their exams. This building is not rented by Project Esperanza but by a separate source connected to the church that also uses the building. This is the reason that Lafontant had a disruptive sense of authority. Therefore, it is necessary that we find a separate building for the upcoming year. Also, we are now able to provide more oversight and accountability as well as solutions to problems from lessons learned so that similar situations do not continue to occur in the future.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS, pounds 18.95
IN THE Twenties, the noted Harvard physiologist WJ Crozier warned his students against abandoning "proper" biological disciplines such as physiology and anatomy for the attractions of a "soft" subject such as evolution. "Evolution", he told them, "is a good topic for the Sunday supplements of newspapers, but it isn't science."
Seventy years on, few would dispute that evolutionary biology is now a "proper" science. As the great biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky put it, "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution". In recent years many evolutionary biologists have tried to stretch Dobzhansky's axiom even further, claiming that not just in biology, but also in the social sciences, nothing makes sense except in evolution's light. The paradox, though, is that the more Darwinism seems to explain about human behaviour, the more that Darwinists write as if for Sunday supplements, abandoning scientific facts for speculative theories and flights of fancy.
This paradox is well expressed by Darwin's Spectre. Michael Rose, an expert on the biology of ageing, wants to reveal the universal importance of Darwinism. His book is divided into three sections. The first explores some of the key conceptual issues related to Darwinian theory (such as selection, adaptation and variation) while the second deals with applications of Darwinian theory (agriculture, medicine and eugenics). In both cases, the discussion is placed in a historical context. Rose provides, for instance, a potted biography of Darwin and a brief history of racial science.
You would be well advised to skip all this. The biology here will be familiar to anyone who has read authors such as Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker and Randolph Nesse, while some of the history is distinctly dodgy. Any writer who admits that one of his key historical sources is Paul Johnson's The Birth of the Modern World does little to generate confidence.
The real interest of the book lies in the third section, in which Rose enters the debate about human nature. Rose wants to challenge traditional Darwinian explanations of human nature - such as evolutionary psychology - but from a Darwinian viewpoint. Evolutionary psychology holds that much of human behaviour has been shaped by natural selection, chosen because such behaviours helped our Stone Age ancestors the better to survive and reproduce.
Such a view, Rose observes, does not capture the key aspect of human behaviour - its "spectacular flexibility". Rose proposes a new theory, which he dubs "immanent Darwinism". All human behaviour, he argues, is implicitly Darwinist not because we have specific behaviours shaped by natural selection, but because human beings constantly calculate the best ways of passing on their genes. "On this model", he writes, "behaviour is determined by an immanent process of calculation taking place in the brain, not by genetic evolution arising from natural selection."
Rose accepts that "we don't experience our mental processes as having Darwinian ends". Rather, the Darwinian calculations that underlie our behaviour are subconscious. According to Rose, we all possess a "dynamic unconscious analogous to Freud's super-ego", except that it is driven by a "Darwinian calculus". The neural mechanism that calculates Darwinian odds, he suggests, is located in the brain's frontal lobes. "Our subjective experiences and calculations", Rose writes, "would be like dogs on a leash, the leash held by a Darwinian master of whom we are not normally aware."
This is all good fun, as Rose constantly jumps from one extravagant speculation to the next. The trouble is that speculation is rarely leavened by empirical facts. As Rose himself admits, "this type of theory patently invites incredulity" and is "such an extravagant hypothesis" that it makes evolutionary psychology "attractive by contrast". Rose's theory jettisons the best aspects of evolutionary psychology - its ability to explain some human traits, such as language - while retaining its more dubious aspects, including the tendency to wild speculation and the attempt to explain all human behaviour in terms of reproductive fitness.
Ultimately, Rose's vision of human nature derives not from science but from political ideology. The contrast between evolutionary psychology and immanent Darwinism corresponds, he believes, to the debate between Keynesianism and monetarism. Just like Keynesians, evolutionary psychologists have abandoned a libertarian view of human nature. According to evolutionary psychology "the behaviour of humans as producers, consumers, or intermediaries will be defined by specific behavioural mechanisms established by genetic adaptation".
With immanent Darwinism, however, "the economy becomes a kind of melee, barely held together by institutional frameworks, with congeries of Darwinian fiends struggling for advantage." Socialism, he adds, "would be compatible with the evolutionary psychology system", while with immanent Darwinism "there can be no peace for the social engineers". This is an argument that defies any kind of rational response. It's good Sunday-supplement stuff. But is it science?

A boy's spectacular and mystifying into-thin-air disappearance
from a sealed chamber high above London launches this determined and thoughtful
page-turner for middle-grade readers.
Deliberate and logical twelve year old Ted, a boy with Asperger's Syndrome, narrates this fast-paced mystery. Ted loves order (he wears his school uniform even on weekends) and is a vigilant recorder of events, big and small: He notes the number of cereal bits he eats at breakfast, counts the minutes his cousin spends aloft in the viewing capsule, and deciphers facial expressions by matching them to rote arrangements of eyebrows and lips he's memorized. Ted's mind is a place where each click of the clock is palpable and nature is a beautiful machine.
It's people that perplex Ted: Their emotions are inexplicable and their habit of talking in metaphors causes grotesque and nonsensical...
*The tonnes referred to in the sidebar are metric tons, equivalent to 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs), which is different to the ton in the USA which usually refers to a "short ton" of 2000 lbs (about 907 kg).

Agave! Of course it is possible to look at the chromosomes and
count them, after coloring with Feulgen reagens. I have done that in
houseleeks BUT it is very laborious. Only cells that happen to be in
mitose can be counted that means a lot of searching through cut or
crushed tissue. Alternatively you can take young flowerbuds If they
are at the right stage you could find pollen still in meiose. In both
cases you need a fair amount of luck a good microscope and
experience. Even then, it could easily take a day or more to do a
single one.

Peter Mould Workshop (PMW) Ltd was first established as a BMW and Mercedes-Benz specialist in 2000 by Managing Director Peter Mould.
Peter initially attended a full-time college course at Colchester Institute to gain a City & Guilds 390 'Technicians Diploma'. Immediately after qualifying, Peter landed a job at the local BMW main dealer as an apprentice technician. The apprenticeship lasted 3 years and upon completion, Peter passed his BMW technical assessment and qualified as a BMW Technician.
Peter continued to work for the BMW main dealer for 4 years until he saw an opportunity to broaden his knowledge at the local Mercedes-Benz franchise, with whom he had already established a good relationship. The job at Mercedes-Benz went very well, however Peter realized that his main passion lay with the BMW product. He returned to the BMW main dealer network as a Technician for 2 more years before finally conceding that he must become his own boss in order to gain full job and customer satisfaction.
In the early days, he was a 'one man band', but the business has continued to grow considerably since then. Initially, the workshop space was a mere 850sq/ft, now the business occupies two industrial units totalling 4000sq/ft of floor space. PMW currently has 5 service lifts, 1 MOT and computer 4 wheel alignment lifting platform, tyre fitting bay and employs 9 members of staff.
We have full dealer specification diagnostic equipment supplied by Autologic for BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, Smart, Bosch KTS651 and Snap On verdict diagnosis machine for all other leading makes of vehicle and a Hunter DSP600 'state of the art' computer 4 wheel alignment computer to enable us to do a professional, competent job for very reasonable money.
Our staff are fully qualified and attend regular training courses to enable us to keep up to date with the ever moving technology employed in today's vehicles.
Mission Statement
To provide servicing, maintenance and diagnostic services exceeding our customers' expectations and requirements in both quality and level of service. To specifically tailor our service to meet each customer's needs and budget. To conduct our activities in an economically viable, safe and professional manner.

I don't know why you had to create such a huge wall of text. However, from what I gather it basically boils down to this:
You don't like GW2's pvp, because it's not a sandbox. The end. Not sure why this needs to be a new thread, there are a lot of sandboxers on this site that have made the same remark in one way or another.

Dude, wtf are you talking about? In every game I've played, open or closed pvp, people team up but guilds don't lose their identity. You think just because entire races in Aion gathered against each other, that guilds from that race didn't get recognition for having greater contribution to the war? Specific guilds pretty much ended up being the ones who coordinated everything, people figuring they knew what they were doing and essentially letting them call the shots. It's like that in every PvP game there ever was.
GG trying to sound like a PvPer, though. With your logic, I doubt you've ever been more than a voyeur.
"Forums aren't for intelligent discussion; they're for blow-hards with unwavering opinions."
I actually read the whole thing and tried following your logic. I cannot. I can't see a point to what you have written, whether you are telling a story or producing a thought. Either way, it seems like you want to say something about the PvP aspect of GW2, but i have no idea what that might be. Umm... if this means you are looking forward to the game then gratz, if this means you hate the PvP aspect of GW2, then sorry to hear that.
(edit-before it became modded)
I'm sorry but the only one saying anything about the second coming is you. Fans of a game accept its flaws and strengths.
I could not comprehend what point you were trying to make. The only jist I got is that you want some sort of sandbox game, along with some unfounded fears that ones guild won't be recognized due to their contributions.
"For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed:
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"
~Lord George Gordon Byron
I started laughing when the OP said the only way to earn accolades as a PvP guild is to black-book hunt. Didn't make it past that line.
PvP guilds earn respect from skill, not because they they hunt-down low-life gankers. It takes a laughable amount of skill to bingo hunt, just add numbers.
For me, Guild Respect in the GW franchise will always come from the competitive arranged teams (not WvW teams).

Usually it's hard to understand why somebody wouldn't read the first post, but I have to admit that in this case, I could see giving somebody a free pass. The opening post isn't the best formatted thing I've ever seen, it's hard to slog through.

OP unfolded unconsciously exactly the reasons i like GW2, mutli guild access, multi server open pvp maps, pvp scenarios rather than guild vs guild, non grouping hard coded mechanism, non gear based combat and many more design decisions.
"I am not a robot. I am a unicorn."
Why is everyone responding to someone so clearly misguided?
"There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit."
John Parry, to his son Will; "The Subtle Knife," by Phillip Pullman
There are 2 types of PvPers.
1) People who enjoy a challenging fight against real opponents
2) Those that enjoy griefing other, much lower level players because it makes them feel big. When presented with a real opponent as per 1, they run away.
I dont want to play with/alongside/against anyone that falls into the secondary category. Take from that what you will OP

Chicken in Puff Pastry
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 22 mins
Very delicious and a nice presentation! Creamy/cheesy chicken wrapped in flaky pastry.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1⁄4 cup packed fresh basil leaf
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 egg, well-beaten
- Heat oven to 430 degrees F.
- Combine cheese, basil, garlic, salt and pepper in processor until smooth and basil is finely chopped.
- Unfold both pieces of pastry carefully.
- Roll out on lightly-floured surface to 14 x 10 inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut in half crosswise into 7 x 10 inch rectangle; repeat with second sheet of pastry.
- Spread ¼ of cheese mixture lengthwise, in approximate size of chicken breast, across center of each rectangle.
- Place chicken breast over, skinned side down.
- Lift long sides of pastry to meet in center over top of chicken; pinch overlap and short ends to enclose chicken snuggly.
- Trim away excess pastry leaving pinched overlap.
- Arrange seam side down, 2 inches apart, on a greased baking sheet; brush generously with beaten egg.
- Bake until puffed and golden and chicken is cooked through, 18-22 minutes.
- Note: Using Boursin Cheese in this recipe in place of the cream cheese is very nice, too.

Awesome! This was my first try at using puff pastry and my fears have vanished! It is so easy to use, I can't believe I have not tried it until now : ) This is a simple recipe and provides wonderful results. It is elegant enough to serve to company and tasty and simple enough to serve to family when the impulse presents itself. Thank you so much for this recipe, Evelyn/athens! I am so honored to add this one to my company worthy collection of recipes!
A great meal, thanks for sharing this one. We had ours with a mushroom and white wine sauce which everyone loved the lot. No leftovers here :)
This was great. I didn't change anything. Was a little worried because I didn't season the chicken, but it came out perfectly seasoned, tasted like roasted chicken. I served with mashed potatoes and pees my family loved it.

Subject: RE: [CHAT] Cats and frogs!
I love frogs and toads. I have four types in a large terrarium that I have
kept going for years. I love to hear them croaking and it is LOUD! Do you
think that my 12"+ koi would try to eat frogs if I tried to import some for
my pond? The pond is 1000 gallons and almost four feet deep, but it has a
3" ledge so the frogs could get out. I had a bull frog once, but he only
stayed for a few years. No other frogs survived with him around! I love
toads as well, but I never see them in my garden. We have some ponds nearby
where I always listen for the toads singing. It's neat! You are lucky to
have your very own tree frogs!
Jacey, another of my cats, caught a baby rabbit just now. He brought the
rabbit home, so I was able to catch and release it. I woke up this morning
to find three small McCoy (early American pottery) vases knocked off a
window ledge. LO jumps from the floor up to the 3" ledge. The window ledge
is at 5'. That cat can jump! Luckily there was carpeting on the floor and
the three pieces didn't land on each other. What's next? Right now he's
sleeping on the rat's cage since he disposed of the snakes, he's enjoying
the rat's company!
It's a gorgeous day today, but I'm totally unmotivated to go outside. I
desperately need to pay some bills. I think that I'll work on that first.

This is caused by the way refresh(true) is currently implemented. It does basically a rebase operation: it re-applies all changes of the current session to the current trunk. Now when a node does not exist any more in trunk and there are changes to the sub tree rooted at that node, these changes are silently discarded. > > We need to find out whether this is (a) an OAK bug, (b) a test bug, or > (c) an expected case of non-compliance. Is the behaviour tested by testSaveInvalidStateException really mandated by the spec? Is it an edge case? I quickly checked with Jackrabbit 2 and found that while the InvalidItemStateException is thrown there, this is not really useful and also seems somewhat strange: on one hand, the node in question is not there any more (if you try to get or remove it) but it still blocks the session from being saved.

Latest Content From GAO RFID
by GAO RFIDJan 01, 2008
There are many applications for how RFID systems help manufacturers and warehouse operations; these applications can be as unique as the enterprise they help. However, there are some common areas in these industries related to their logistics of getting the finished product to the customer or to another distribution center. Bottlenecking of the goods at the shipping door has implications on the costs to ship goods, lowers revenues when there are fewer shipped goods to bill and puts a drag on productivity gains one have made in other areas of the enterprise.
An RFID strategy provides an outline to use the technology aligned with an enterprises strategic visions and goals. A business that strives to be a model of efficiency could use RFID to streamline the operations is a typical example. The RFID strategy is applicable whether big or small business because RFID is going to be found anywhere in the near future. An uniform strategy is not going to work generally that means the businesses must create their own unique RFID strategy.
The EPC Tag Class Structure is often misunderstood. Class is not the same as Generation. Class describes a tags basic functionality for example whether it has memory or a battery. Generation refers to a tag specifications major release or version number. The full name for what is popularly called EPC Generation 2 is actually EPC Class 1 Generation 2, indicating that the specification refers to the second major release of a specification for a tag with write-once memory.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), an automatic recognition technology employing wireless communications, has drawn much attention. RFID tags, both passive tags and active tags are broadly used in virtually every industry in the world. This paper introduces how the active tag works and also discusses some applications. An active tag is an RFID tag that incorporates a battery, and can communicate with a reader that is several tens of meters away. While passive tags can only respond to an electromagnetic wave signal emitted from a reader, active tags can also spontaneously transmit an ID.
GAO RFID Inc. offers arguably the worlds most extensive line of RFID tags, labels and readers which are suitable for any vertical markets. GAOs products are designed and manufactured with recognized industry standards relevant to RFID and its markets. GAO has placed its emphasis on quality with stringent quality assurance process and extensive and rigorous tests. With its experienced and talented engineering team, it is developing integrated solutions to serve various vertical markets. To provide an even better solutions based-experience, the company is also aggressively partnering with other RFID vendors to offer integrated solutions.
The ability of any enterprise to effectively monitor its manufacturing facility and ""Work in progress"" has been an elusive or costly endeavor. However, with the introduction of RFID technologies and its application to the manufacturing process such initiatives are now well within reach. RFID by its very nature has the ability to read tags or labels over distances and multiple or batches simultaneously. Other RFID initiatives provide the ability to write data to a tag multiple times.

QotW - 10.03.07 - How is Money Made?
Reply #1 on:

We answered this question on the show...
- So, lets start with the notes first. How do they survive the wash?
- My name is Mark Cricket and I work for the bank note printers
De La Rue
. [img float=right]/forum/copies/RTEmagicC_US_money.jpg.jpg[/img]Essentially it starts, not surprisingly, with the paper itself which is manufactured from cotton rather than wood which is used for most of the papers that are used in other applications. The reason that cotton is used is to make the notes more durable against the rigors that theyll face in circulation with the public and also, when its combined with the printing process, it helps to give the bank notes the unique feel which makes them feel different from other printed documents. The process that we use is very old process, quite an unusual process which is not used not for commercial paper production and that enables us really to put in the distinctive tone of watermarks and the metallic strip which we call a security thread which runs through the paper and is inserted when the paper is manufactured. What we then do is we take the paper and it runs through a number of printing processes. The first process which is known as
puts on most of the colours and provides most of the back of the Bank of England notes and much of the fronts. The second process which is a very unique process used in bank note printing is called
which actually uses an engraved plate and ink basically goes into the engraved effect grooves in the plates and is then forced out under pressure, and that helps to produce a very distinct tactile feel to the notes which again is an important security feature for the public to recognise some of the elements. For example, printed by this process is the portrait of her majesty, the Queen. And then the third main process is known as
and thats used to put the unique serial number on each note which obviously is used to help keep track of the notes.
- But what about the coins?
- My name is Matt Bonaccorsi and I'm Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint in South Wales. We obviously start off, like any other product, with a design. Once that design is completed, we then have to turn it into a 3D or we call 2.5D object which is the sort of sculpted version that you're going to see on the coin itself. These days, we use a lot of computer CAD sculpting and if you can imagine, its a three-dimensional map of the coin on a screen that is 4,000 by 4,000 pixels. That gives us 16 million points of information within that screen and each one of those points is a coordinate and we feed those coordinates into our CNC engraving machine - which is basically a tiny revolving cutter that will then move over a blank piece of steel, following those coordinates. As it works its way around, it gradually builds up a picture of what the finished coin looks like.
Obviously, when we stamp a coin, the stamps that actually impart the design onto the surface of the blank - those stamps, which are called dyes, have to be back to front. So we take our steal piece of tooling with our coin design on it and we press it. We put it under a hydraulic press and squeeze it into a soft piece of steel so we can take a negative impression from that. Its that negative impression thats then put on a lathe and turned to the right shape and size to fit into one of our presses, and thats what will actually stamp the coin itself.
Forgery is obviously a key part of what we do. The metal composition of coins is key to that. The percentages of different alloys that go into coins are very, very closely monitored and very, very closely controlled, so it becomes very difficult to replicate a coin that will read in vending machines or that will look or feel the same as a real coin.
- So notes are made from cotton and some very secret inks; some of which are magnetic, others can only be seen in UV light, and some are only visible when they become warm. Coins can also be protected from forgery using clever design tricks such as a latent feature in the 2-pound coin which is a design that changes as you move it in the light. But their main form of defence is in using very specific metal alloys which are also kept secret of course.
