DreamSerene™ from Caber Sure Fit designed to meet
protection and tranquility needs

MARKHAM, ON, Jan. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Retailers and consumers will
always wake up on the right side of the bed thanks to Caber
Sure Fit's newest line of DreamSerene™ products. The collection
of mattress and pillow encasements available to all retailers
by spring 2012—and being showcased at The Canadian Home
Furnishings Market in Toronto this weekend in Hall 5, space
5006 of the International Centre—is the result of a $1 million
investment designed to better protect against wear and tear,
allergens and bed bugs while promoting rest and rejuvenation.

DreamSerene's brand of superior quality products, designed with
consumers' needs in mind, is based on customer input.
Responding to the desire for a larger merchandise mix, the line
also features tiered product categories - Value, Good, Better
and Best - to provide every customer with the precise items
they're looking for. The needs of retailers are also taken into
consideration, as training and a comprehensive product guide
are also part of the package.

"It has always been our goal to bring a mattress protection
line to market that benefits both our vendor and consumer
clientele," said Bernard Weinstein , president and CEO of Caber
Sure Fit Inc. "This new DreamSerene line will give retailers
the tools they need to enhance customer service and allow
consumers to choose from a greater variety of products."

Knowing that a disrupted night's sleep can cause a series of
long-term problems, DreamSerene is equipped with a combination
of leading-edge technologies designed to ward off overnight
disturbances. The following features work together to promote a
solid night of rest for all those who value sound sleeping:

Dream Seal Bed Bug Barrier™ Encasements: Stop
bed bugs from entering and exiting the mattress and box
spring, and are 100% bite proof.

Wet Block Technology™: Protects the comfort and
long-lasting mattress quality with breathable stain and
waterproof barriers.

Allergy Shield™: Guards against microscopic dust mites
and allergens making breathing easier

Antimicrobial Protection: Kills 99.99% of bacteria

Health Canada , this classification gives consumers the peace
of mind that they are investing in a top quality product.

In addition, all DreamSerene products are easy to use, machine
washable and come with trusted warranty protection that will
help to preserve their overall lifespans.

"We have conducted extensive market research and enforced
scrupulous testing to ensure that this new line of products
exceeds everyone's expectations," says Weinstein. "These latest
developments are an opportunity for us to put our stamp on
mattress protection and further demonstrate that we're
dedicated to enhancing their lives."

The creation of the DreamSerene line trails a mutual decision
between Caber Sure Fit and Protect-A-Bed® to part ways
following a 10-year partnership. The amicable separation,
resulting from divergent business goals, will not inconvenience
any retailers or partners currently working with the
distributor.

GOP leads the way in apoplexy

Posted on January 29, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

A funny thing happened on the way to the 2012 election.

At the risk of being accused of partisan politics, I have never
seen Republicans so afraid of themselves.

A lot of them are not comfortable with Mitt Romney, partly
because he is Mormon, partly because he was governor of,
?gasp,? Massachusetts, the state that not only bleeds blue but
is proud of it, but also because of another issue, which I have
to agree with. He is too darn pretty. He has perfect hair,
perfect teeth, he is just the right height. It is scary.

So they may be concerned that he is an alien.

But as much as Mitt may worry some, traditional Republicans are
scared out of their minds by Newt Gingrich.

Newt Gingrich was once the leader or the new order, but through
a series of, let us say, peccadilloes, he became the match in
the hand of the gasoline attendant. No one knows when it will
be struck and blow the shebang to pieces.

To be fair, Newt Gingrich is a quick mind and a tenacious
campaigner. If he becomes the Republican nominee, by Nov. 6,
President Obama will feel like he went about 100 rounds with
Mike Tyson (back when Mike was a boxer worth watching). He will
hurl every insinuation he can think of at the president,
amplify every minor issue into an international crisis and be
able to take the same when it is tossed back at him.

Newt is tough. He is sharp. He knows the game. But he is Newt
and the top Republicans know and fear that fact.

In Romney, they have a few issues that need sorting out,
especially his history of completely changing his views
whenever it is politically expedient. He proved that in
Massachusetts where people thought they were voting for a
moderate Republican, not liberal like some past Massachusetts
Republicans, but close to the heartbeat of the Bay State. As he
got close to leaving office to step onto a national stage, he
began to appear more and more conservative. In the last
presidential election he was a true moderate-conservative, a
position that got him a ticket home, rather than bearing the
standard of the party.

This time around Mitt is a significant conservative, and that?s
what the Republican leadership is liking about him.

The problem is, Mitt should have won South Carolina. He should
have but Newt stole it from him and now we are in Florida, a
state Mitt should be winning with buckets of votes. Instead, it
is a toss-up going into the Florida primary Tuesday.

Which gets back to my point: Republicans are terrified at what
they have working for them in this campaign. They seemed quite
hopeful a year ago. Partly with the help of the tea party they
were gaining power and feeling like they could kick the
president out of office and insert one of their people. But one
of the problems with the tea party is the candidates who
embraced it either lack the depth needed for a presidential
campaign or are crazier than bed bugs on meth. Unfortunately,
while the tea party may not hold all the hearts of Republicans,
they are at least in the minds of too many potential candidates
who decided they could not reconfigure their standards enough
to win the presidential nomination in the new Republican Party.

I doubt Bob Dole would win the nomination the way things are,
and Bob is a legitimate conservative.

So what we have heading into next week is Mitt Romney trying to
maintain his dignity and keep his distance from Newt, who is
doing his best to pick him up off the ground and body-slam him
to the mat before applying the sleeper hold.

And, of course, the Republican leadership is wondering if they
could dig up Ronald Reagan, extract some DNA, and create a
clone to insert in the rest of the primaries before things get
too out of hand.

NFL action was awesome; goals aplenty

Posted on January 28, 2012 by pcenet Click Here For Article

Rich Levey

What a great day of football.

Sunday’s conference championship games
were awesome.

For the first time I can remember, each
of the four teams playing had the potential to win the Super
Bowl.

I properly predicted the winners of both
games, but I could just as easily have missed both.

One of the more interesting aspects of
Sunday’s games I thought was the fact that the goats were the
bigger stories than the heroes.

The goats in the Patriots/Ravens game
were Lee Evans, who dropped the game-winning touchdown pass, and
kicker Billy Cundiffe, who missed a chip-shot field goal, which
would have sent the game into overtime.

I’ve often wondered if a kicker who
loses a game like that rides home on the same plane as his
teammates. I think he’d have been safer hitchhiking.

The goat from the Giants/49ers game was
wide receiver/punt returner Kyle Williams, who was responsible
for 10 New York points, and cost his team the game.

Before I continue, I put forth this
query:

Why is someone who loses a game in some
ignoble fashion referred to as a “goat?”

Goats are not hateful, despicable
creatures. They don’t deserve to be scorned like this.

They smell bad and make annoying noises,
but so does my brother, Coach Bob.

Shouldn’t we refer to these sports
“goats” as some more universally reviled animal?

For example, rats, wasps, fire ants,
roaches, mosquitoes, bed bugs or vampire bats?

Or if you live down Coast Guard Road in
Emerald Isle, deer.

I think so.

Heretofore, in my columns sports “goats”
will be referred to as vampire bats.

But enough about Sunday’s goats, er,
vampire bats.

There were some heroic efforts, as
well.

I thought New England’s massive
defensive tackle Vince Wilfork was a monster and sparked a
resurgent Patriot defense.

For the Giants, Eli Manning, who in
addition to playing football also invented the cotton gin,
continues to impress.

Put Manning and the Giants on the big
stage, and they always seem to come through.

It’s shaping up to be a great Super
Bowl, but you have to wait a week for my prediction.

Remember, next week is the annual
Tideland News Super Bowl prediction column.

Stay tuned.

W-B school sprayed for bed bugs

Authorities take action at a learning pod when a lone insect is
discovered at Kistler Elementary.


WILKES-BARRE – Fifth-graders at Kistler Elementary School on
Thursday discovered an uninvited guest: a bed bug.

Bed bugs, like this one, feed on human blood and often live
in mattresses.

AP FILE PHOTO

According to Wilkes-Barre Area Superintendent Jeffrey Namey, a
single bed bug was found on the floor of a fifth-grade
classroom Thursday. Students were removed from the classroom,
their parents were contacted and an extermination company was
brought in, Namey said.

The exterminators did not find any additional bed bugs, but at
their recommendation, the entire fifth-grade pod, a total of
five classrooms, was sprayed for the bugs Friday evening, Namey
said.

“We have expanded it beyond the scope of the original problem,”
Namey said, adding that exterminators will also do a follow-up
inspection following spraying.

Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on human blood and
often take up residence in mattresses. They can travel in
clothing and luggage, and once a home or other structure has
become infested they can be difficult and expensive to
exterminate.

Namey said Thursday was the first time a bed bug had been
discovered in a Wilkes-Barre Area school.

“We know it’s a serious issue,” he said. “Just like lice.
Sometimes a kid comes in with lice in their hair; we take it
very seriously, and we’re taking this very, very seriously.”

At least one parent believes the district isn’t taking the
issue seriously enough, though.

David Strouse, whose son is a third-grader at Kistler, said he
is upset the district did not inform all parents about the
insect, but only contacted parents of children in the classroom
where it was found. Parents may not have sent their children to
school Friday had they known about the bug, he said.

He also believes the district should spray the entire school
for bed bugs.

“(Bed bugs) are extremely hard to get rid of and they could
cause a lot of problems for people who quite frankly can’t
afford it,” Strouse said.

Namey said the district acted on the advice of the
exterminators, and informed parents of children in the
classroom, who may have had contact with bed bugs, to wash
their children’s clothing in hot water.

“If there’s a need to do the whole building, the whole building
will be done,” Namey said. “…We listen to what the
professionals say, and this was the advice that we got from
professionals.”
