The Kiddicare Dream Crib is a compact sleep solution with a classic look for your little one - a perfect size to have in your bedroom to be close to baby for those precious first months.About me

The perfect size to fit alongside your bed, it's ideal for those night time feeds and changes, and is an affordable option to keep at Granny's ready for those home-from-home overnight stays.
All round wooden slats offer full visibility, so you can place the crib in the best position for your existing room layout.

KC18872 White
KC18870 AntiqueI come with
12 month guaranteeDon't forget me
Crib mattress 90 x 40cm
Crib bedding set
This crib is surprisingly sturdy for the price. It's size will allow our baby to sleep in our room longer
I have not built this yet, but the service I received was excellent first class, would recommend kiddiecare and would deffo use again
The crib took me 10 minutes to assemble and the instructions were nice and clear. The finish is smooth and there are no rough edges. It has given our 3mth old the extra space she needed in bed as she had out grown her moses basket.
Very easy to assemble, very sturdy and nice looking. Wish I would have skipped the Moses basket and bought this straight away! My son is 8 weeks old and looks very comfortable in it!
We bought this crib to use in our room as the cot we have would end up taking up a lot of space. I was also worried a tiny baby might feel a bit lost in a huge cot! The crib is perfect. Just the right size, looks good and was great value.

McLaren X-1 Concept created as one-off for anonymous client
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Aug 17th, 2012 at 11:58AM
The first major surprise of Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey has officially landed. The machine you see above is the McLaren X-1 Concept, and it was created by McLaren Special Operations for an anonymous client. Underneath that crazy slice of bodywork lies the British company's unique carbon monocell – the same basic structure that underpins the MP4-12C. MSO Programme Director Paul MacKenzie describes how it came to be: "One of our clients who already owned a McLaren F1, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and now a 12C, wanted a unique car. The conversation began with our Executive... Read More

Tropical flower installations and blooming rose-filled rooms were some of the more traditional displays at the show, but many of Girona's exhibits were more contemporary than others, like a room of brightly-lit sunflowers contained within walls of cardboard boxes. One of our favorites was created by artists Ignasi Esteve and Marc Vicens - a simple wooden frame installation in the university plaza with just a red ladder between two grass-clad floors.
This year's festival was a bit more humble than in previous years, presumably due to a decreased budget for the event, but many of the city's ancient ruins and public terraces were transformed dramatically by using simple ideas. For example, hanging above one street was a floral web made from recycled plastic industrial materials.
If you are in the northern region of Spain and want to see a gorgeous floral display, Girona's flower festival will be on show through May 20.

Bowl is nice and substantial. Drain is nice too. Two things to note - it does not have an overflow and it does not take a mounting ring. Instructions don't make sense, so we did what seemed sensible - drilled a hole just big enough for the drain pipe, siliconed the bottom of the sink to the vanity top and then put nut and washer on drain pipe below.
I am redesigning a bath trying for that eclectic cottage look. This sink is a great combination of the cottage look yet a vessel sink. I paired it with an antique sideboard and a granite vanity top. It looks perfect!
I don't know why anyone would pay more. One surprise, the drains for vessel sinks are much larger than the drains we're used to so prepare yourself for that.
I ordered the round Vessel sink, but was sent the square shaped vessel? I'm in the middle of a basement finish, so didn't have time to exchange them! But I have to say I love them and the quality is awesome,, so sometimes a miss order isn't a bad thing.. I think they will look great in my new Master Suite. great price, great quality! Looking forward to the finished product! then I'll write a review on everything I ordered on Overstock.com,,, would be nice to have a shipping charges refunded on the first sinks I sent back? but I'm happy!
We ordered this sink for an antique dresser to make a vessel sink and cabinet. It looks fantastic. It's solid, high quality, creamy white, and deep sides to allow the water to flow out when water is turned off. We are so happy with how it turned out. Overstock.com was efficient in getting the sink to us. It was packed up well and safe for delivery. Can't say enough good things about the delivery. I ordered a different sink to start with. I thought I wanted a rectangle shaped sink, but just didn't like it when I set in on the cabinet. Returning the sink and getting the bowl shaped sink was super easy to exchange.
This sink is beautiful and the quality is EXCELLENT!
As described. Great quality. Will purchase another when I redo my other bathroom.
We remodeled our bathroom and were looking for a vessel sink, as we love the look. In stores these sinks are extremely expensive; so we were happy to find this one on Overstock. It is very good quality, and we are very happy with it. It is very plain, and we now wish that we had considered something more decorative; but we still are happy with it. It looks exactly as pictured. It is a good size; not too small.

Two worlds collide in this amazing, true story of a double murder that took a decade to unravel.
Biloxi, Mississippi was founded as a real estate scam to lure settlers to the New World. 300 years later, the legacy of corruption and scandal still permeates the city. Yet it is also a bastion of southern gentility, with picture-perfect postcard neighborhoods evoking the stately grandeur of the Old South.
The 1987 murder of respected attorney Vince Sherry and his politically active wife Margaret opened a unique window into the conflicting worlds of the city. DEADLY ODDS IN BILOXI traces the ten-year odyssey to see justice done, as the Sherrys' eldest daughter persevered where the police gave up, eventually uncovering evidence that linked the murder to notorious gangland figures and Sherry's former partner and eventual Biloxi mayor Pete Halat. It is a saga of corrupt police and the Dixie Mob, million-dollar scams and a woman determined to fight to the end for what is right.
Go deep into the heart of Dixie for a fascinating real-life crime drama, and a unique portrait of the antebellum city of Biloxi.

Okie i cast the net really wide, but it's getting lonely here... nobody else i know does any serious scrapbooking with a computer, it's all mobile apps here. =(
welcome.. I have a daughter that we adopted from Vietnam.. but we are here in the states.
Ooh... Indonesia is just next door! =)
There are several Indonesian talented digital scrapbooking..but i am not sure if some of them live in Malaysia :)
Halo Eirene, selamat malam!!! Apa khabar? And my Bahasa doesn't go very much further than that... LOL!!! (i was originally from Singapore where we didn't have to learn Bahasa even though it's supposedly our national language, but i digress.)
i'm so happy to hear from you! It seems like there are quite a few talented designers in Indonesia! In fact, i think Indonesia has lots of talent in many areas, like music, arts, etc. The only part of Indonesia i've ever been in is Bintan, kekeke! That place was lovely. My father-in-law worked in various parts of Indonesia for many years, though, and i think it was an enjoyable experience for him. =)
As for scrapbooking and Malaysia, i'm sure there are a FEW serious scrapbookers scattered around the cities, but it's mainly mobile apps, or else what we call 'photobooking'. You know, like buy a cheap groupon deal from one of the photobook companies, then paste in their photos and send it for printing. But you're right about Malaysian hospitality, though i guess for me the only point of comparison i have is my hometown Singapore, where hospitality and service standards aren't the best.
Whee... still happy that i've found a fellow scrapper close by! It was getting lonely! =P

Do you ever feel like the true meaning of Thanksgiving gets lost in the craziness of decorating for the holidays? This pine cone turned turkey craft will help your kids reflect on the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Display these pine cone turkeys in your home throughout the month of November to help remind your family what Thanksgiving really means. These turkeys are easy to make and you'll have them finished in no time at all!
- Pine cones (two for each person)
- Craft Bond: All Purpose Glue
- Wiggly eyes
- Craft pom poms (2 per turkey)
- Cardstock of various colors
- Markers
- Scissors
- Ruler
1. We started by cutting out the strips to write down what we are thankful for. Measure the strips to be 1 inch wide by 3 inches long.
2. Write down what really means the most to you! Our little guy felt most thankful for food, family, and toys.
3. Cut out a small diamond and fold it in half to make the turkey's beak. Then glue this along with two wiggly eyes on a craft pom pom to form the head. Make two of these.
4. Trace your participant's hand and cut it out. This will be one of the turkey's feathers! Write, "I am thankful for…" on this hand.
5. Take your craft glue and put everything together. Glue a head and the cut out hand on one pine cone. Give the other pine cone a head and use the strips of paper to make its feathers. You can even give your two turkeys a tail by gluing a pom pom on the back of the pine cone.
The finished product should look like this! If you want a more colorful turkey, you could choose different colors of cardstock and pom poms. Leave a comment if you made this craft and where you displayed the turkeys in your home. Happy Thanksgiving!
Here are some resources we found that have great Thanksgiving crafts for kids and families:
There are so many unique ideas for all ages of crafters at The Crafty Crow Thanksgiving crafts.
We love these Gobbling Turkey Apples from Make and Takes!
And of course, what list of crafts would be complete without some furbulous ideas from Martha Stewart? We especially thought these Boat Place Cards and Cornhusk Dolls were absolutely delightful!

Pretty Case!
I have this case for my iphone 5 and I really love it. Whenever I want a new case I just choose a different pattern of this one. The only problem is that the buttons are hard to push (the volume and top power button). My husband fixed this for me by shoving little bits of paper towel under the case so there's less space between the buttons on the phone and the case and that seems to fix the problem. Other than that, I have no complaints!

We're all guilty of mugging for the camera once in a while, but I can't say I've ever looked this beautiful doing so. Angelina Jolie is on the cover of the June issue of Marie Claire, and her "candid" shoot for her feature is nothing short of adorable. Take a look.
The sultry actress looks absolutely incredible on the cover, signature blue eyes and plump pout at center stage. In the article, Jolie talks about making her directorial debut with the upcoming film In the Land of Blood and Honey and swoons over her (swoon-worthy) husband-to-be, Brad Pitt. You can pick up the mag on newsstands soon, and check out some photos from the feature in our gallery! [via MyDaily]

Upcoming Events
NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
Earlier this week, the Department announced that Florida and Seattle Public Schools would receive additional financial flexibility in exchange for increased accountability. Florida is the first state to be approved under the State Flexibility Authority Program, or State-Flex. With this authority, Florida may: (1) consolidate and use certain state-level federal funds for any educational purpose authorized under No Child Left Behind; (2) specify how school districts in the state use Innovative Program funds under Title V, Part A; and (3) enter into performance agreements with four to ten districts (half of which must be high poverty), allowing them to consolidate certain federal funds to meet the goals of No Child Left Behind and make adequate yearly progress. The Secretary is authorized to approve up to seven State-Flex states. Seattle Public Schools is the first district to be approved under the Local Flexibility Demonstration Program, or Local-Flex, which provides similar flexibility to up to 80 districts in non-State-Flex states. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/nclb/freedom/local/flexibility/.
In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, "It's Not About the Money," Secretary Paige challenges the perception that the No Child Left Behind Act is underfunded, translating "into plain English" the difference between authorizations and appropriations and reiterating "President Bush has increased K-12 education spending by 40 percent since he took office." Instead, as the title alludes, the Secretary believes critics are "using the funding argument...as a way to attack the law when what they really do not like is that there will be accountability in education." For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/10/
The Department has released non-regulatory guidance on using Migrant Education Program (MEP) funds to develop and implement supplemental educational and support services to help migrant children. MEP funds are allocated by formula based on state's per-pupil expenditure for education and counts of eligible migratory children residing within the state. In 2001-02, an estimated 700,000 students received migrant services during the school year or the following summer. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/mep/
Preparing for College
The next "Education News Parents Can Use" broadcast (November 18, 8:00-9:00 ET) will discuss critical academic and financial steps to prepare for postsecondary education. Research illustrates that academic success in college is directly related to the rigor of the coursework leading up to that point. Therefore, students and parents need to carefully plan -- starting as early as middle school -- building a strong academic foundation. Likewise, early financial planning is an essential component in the college equation. With over $60 billion in federal student aid, grants, and loans and billions more available through state and local programs, private scholarships, or in exchange for military or volunteer service, the system is both comprehensive and overwhelming. Remember, over a lifetime, a person with a bachelor's degree earns nearly twice that of a person with only a high school diploma. For more information, please go to http://registerevent.ed.gov/downlink/
event-flyer.asp?intEventID=171. (You can watch live and archived webcasts at http://www.connectlive.com/events/ednews/.)
Recognition Weeks
Three worthwhile recognition periods are scheduled for the next two weeks:
- National Veterans Awareness Week (November 9-15) encourages schools to invite veterans into their classrooms in the days leading up to and following Veterans Day (November 11). Veterans are asked to share their experiences and teach students lessons about the history and significance of Veterans Day, helping students reflect upon the importance of the ideals of liberty, democracy, and freedom. For more information, please go to http://www.va.gov/vetsday/.
- International Education Week (November 17-21) recognizes the importance of educating students about people and nations throughout the world in preparing students to live in a diverse and tolerant society and succeed in a global economy. This year, most days have a theme: Tuesday will highlight international studies in schools, Wednesday special education, Thursday higher education, and Friday the teaching and learning of foreign languages. For more information, please go to http://exchanges.state.gov/iew/. (The Department's list of activities is at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/
- American Education Week (November 16-22) celebrates teachers and school staff. The 2003 theme, "Great Public Schools for Every Child -- America's Promise," is intended to remind people that teaching and learning is a team effort. As part of the week, support staff (bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, teachers' aides) will be honored on Wednesday and substitute teachers will be singled out on Friday. For more information, please go to http://www.nea.org/aew/.
Access to Technology
According to two new reports by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), although public schools have made huge improvements in providing computer and Internet access, the "Digital Divide" persists outside of regular school hours. The first report, "Internet Access in U.S. Public Schools and Classrooms: 1994-2002" (http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2004011), provides "trend analysis" on the progress of public schools and classrooms in connecting to the Internet (in 1994, just three percent of classrooms had access; by fall 2002, 92 percent had access) and the ratio of students to instructional computers with Internet access (today, there are 4.8 students for every one computer, an improvement from 12:1 in 1998). "Computer and Internet Use by Children and Adolescents in 2001" (http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2004014), the second report, examines the use of computers and the Internet by Americans between the ages of five and 17. The data shows there is no significant difference in the use of computers to complete homework assignments between racial groups with home access. Yet, 41 percent of blacks and Hispanics use a computer at home, compared to 77 percent of whites. Moreover, 31 percent of students from families earning less than $20,000 use computers at home, compared to 89 percent of those from families earning more than $75,000.
Also: Using Department funds, the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL) and Laboratory for Student Success launched e-Lead (http://www.e-lead.org/), a free, web-based resource dedicated to providing states and districts with guidance about and information on the professional development of school principals. e-Lead has identified six principles, anchored in current research, which should guide principal training: focused, driven, conducted, anchored, designed, and evaluated. The site also houses a searchable database of existing quality programs.
Personnel Changes
Seeking to fill a couple of critical vacancies in the Department's leadership structure, the White House has announced its intent to nominate the current Undersecretary of Education, Gene Hickok, to be Deputy Secretary of Education, and Edward McPherson, who currently serves as Chief Financial Officer at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to be the new Undersecretary. Since July, Hickok has served as both Undersecretary and the Acting Deputy Secretary. He remains a policy advisor to Secretary Paige on all major programs and management issues, including the No Child Left Behind Act (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/11/11032003a.html). If confirmed, McPherson, with years of financial experience in government and the private sector, would serve as an advisor to the Secretary on matters ranging from the budget and strategic planning to policy implementation (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/10/10282003a.html). Also, Anne Radice, who has held executive positions in various non-profit and government organizations, has been named the Secretary's Chief of Staff (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/10/10282003.html) and Gerald Reynolds, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, is taking another federal post (http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/10/10312003a.html).
Disability Employment
In partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Education Department is offering a guidebook, "Disability Employment 101," to acquaint business leaders with programs and resources available to assist them in hiring individuals with disabilities. The guide provides information on vocational rehabilitation agencies, Disability and Business Technical Assistance Centers, and Centers for Independent Living. It also includes a disability-friendly business checklist. One in five Americans has a disability, and their unemployment rate is the highest for any group of Americans. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/
Quote to Note
"This is a time to join together, not play semantic games for political posturing. We should all work to solve the educational inequities in this country. Education should not fall prey to partisan bickering and diversionary gamesmanship. The future of our children and our nation is too important for division and sparring by policymakers. Thanks to the President and the Congress, we have the right tools for the job. Now, let's replace vitriol with vision, and wisecracks with wisdom, for the sake of children."
Secretary of Education Rod Paige (10/29/03)
Upcoming Events
On November 13, NCES will release results from the 2003 National Assessment of Educational Progress reading and math tests for the nation and participating states. For more information, please go to http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/.
