These stuffed animal zoos are the perfect birthdayAfter purchasing a small buckwheat pillow and falling in love with it, I set out to make my own standard sized (20×26″) buckwheat pillow.
This pillow ultimately became the first Hullo buckwheat pillow prototype. I quickly found high-quality fabrics and tons of different tough-looking zippers, but locating bulk buckwheat hulls proved to be very time consuming.Buckwheat hulls are available in many different varieties and qualities. My goal was simple: find the best ones for use in a pillow.Firstly, I narrowed the search considerably by considering only USA produced buckwheat hulls. Our company, Hulltex, is American. It’s very important to us that we support locally owned farms and companies, particularly during these challenging economic times.China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and and several other eastern european countries are big exporters of buckwheat. There are certainly good prices to be found, but they are typically not produced using the same high standards exercised in the USA.Manufacturers of buckwheat pillows that utilize imported buckwheat hulls will frequently advertise their hulls as having been “roasted.”
This term refers to a process required by the US government to remove any potential contaminants the product might contain prior to being distributed to American markets; it prevents the spread of plant pests and diseases. The hulls are subjected to high heat, which eliminates some of their moisture content, making them a bit more brittle, dusty and prone to flattening out.I ordered our first sample buckwheat hulls thinking that they’d be perfect. They were certified organic and very cheap! When they arrived in the mail my high hopes were dashed. The hulls were all crushed flat and broken into many small pieces. So what’s wrong with that? A few things:Some marketers of buckwheat pillows try to use this characteristic to their advantage claiming that they’ve been “pre-flattened” or “polished.” It’s our belief that intact hulls are far superior, but there are two distinct, albeit small, advantages to crushed buckwheat hulls:My second sample of buckwheat hulls wasn’t much more successful than the first.
Another certified organic variety with a very high price tag arrived at my door step. I tore into the package and was immediately disappointed to see the tiny little hulls contained. While completely intact, they were shriveled-appearing compared to some of the larger varieties typically used in buckwheat pillows. Being so small, these were much more dense; they were heavier and restricted air flow much like the crushed buckwheat hulls in my first sample.I got a several other samples with similar issues-they were less than ideal for one reason or another. Finally a sample came that was perfect… well almost. The buckwheat hulls were:The one catch was that they weren’t certified organic. After pouring through available data, I determined that it was of little importance that the buckwheat hulls be certified. Buckwheat grows well without requiring noxious fertilizers or pesticides so it is most often very close to the definition of organic without actually being certified organic.In the end, it wasn’t a difficult decision.
I decided that it was better to use buckwheat hulls with superior physical characteristics rather than rely on the insignificant label applied to potentially inferior pillow fill.In summary, without seeing the buckwheat hulls up close in person, it’s very difficult to know what you’re getting. We’ve done that for you. If you’re in the market for buckwheat hulls for use in a pillow, look no farther. We’ve selected the best we could find and use them in every Hullo™ we ship. We guarantee you’ll agree. If you’re unhappy for whatever reason, just ship them back to us and we’ll refund you the purchase price.April 22, 2007 in Communication, Deaf, Health, Interpreter, News, Sign Language Last Updated: April 22, 2007 One rainy night last spring, a swarm of Modesto police cars descended on a truck that was heading north on McHenry Avenue. The pickup stopped and the officers ordered the driver to get out with his hands up. Modestan Harry “Dan” Tessien sat in his truck, waiting.
Officer Daniel Starr repeated his order several times. Tessien sat in his truck, waiting. Starr gave his order in Spanish. Officer Yair Oaxaca fired a beanbag shotgun at the pickup’s back window, sending a spray of shattered glass throughout the cab. Tessien leapt out of his seat, and Oaxaca fired a beanbag into his abdomen. Officer Rodney Garcia delivered two more rounds because Tessien still had not raised his hands. Oaxaca and Garcia delivered six more rounds, according to their reports, hitting the man in the torso and legs as he ran for cover and ducked under the front bumper of his truck. Tessien — who has sued the city in federal court alleging the officers violated his civil rights by using excessive force — said he was screaming the whole time. “I am deaf,” he recalls shouting. Months after the incident, Tessien pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol, but police reports show he was pulled over in a case of mistaken identity.
Just before 1 a.m. on March 11, 2006, Starr spotted Tessien’s 2004 black Nissan Frontier and believed he might have an armed suspect in sight. The police were looking for a late-model red Toyota truck that might have been heading toward the Five Points intersection after an incident downtown in which shots may have been fired. In his report, which Tessien’s lawyer provided to The Bee, Starr said he noticed Tessien’s truck because its lights weren’t on, and it bumped a concrete gutter twice. Tessien denies those allegations. Starr made a U-turn, advised dispatchers of his location and waited until other patrol cars arrived to back him up. Tessien was driving about 30 mph. One unit sped in front of Tessien to put stop sticks in the road and block traffic coming from the north on McHenry. Other units blocked traffic coming from the south, shutting the road down. 40 grams of lead shot Tessien, a pizza deliveryman who has been deaf for 25 years, saw flashing police lights.
