Most people are in favor of allowing K-12 students to take elective and AP courses online for credit, particularly if those courses aren't available in a brick-and-mortar school, according to a new poll conducted on behalf of K12, a provider of online pre-K to grade 12 programs.
The survey found that while most people are aware of online education options for higher education, relatively few are aware of this option for K-12 education, even though they support the idea in principle.
Key findings of the online poll:
K12, the company behind the survey, said it thinks the country is approaching a "tipping point" of awareness and demand for online public school options. According to the company, one of the major advantages of online education is that it can reach students in any geographic location.
"While still relatively new, there's no question online education options are on the front-end of a national 'tipping point,' as more parents and students realize one of the best-kept secrets in education is that you have more options than you may think when it comes to where and how you go to school," said Matt Arkin, the head of school at the K12-operated Georgia Cyber Academy, in a prepared statement. "We're working hard to transform the public education system for all of our students. The rigor and individualization of a high-quality and engaging online education can be a real winning combination for many students."
The poll was conducted online in the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of K12 from July 29 to 31, 2013 and surveyed 2,013 adults. According to the company, the "online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated."

Temporary Tattoos May Leave Permanent Damage
TUESDAY, March 26 (HealthDay News) -- As thousands of college students head to sunny spots for spring break, getting temporary tattoos may seem like a fun thing to do. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns that they can cause blisters and permanent scarring.
While the ink used for permanent tattoos is injected into the skin, temporary tattoos are applied to the skin's surface. Temporary tattoos often use "black henna," which may contain a coal-tar hair dye containing p-phenylenediamine (PPD), an ingredient that can cause dangerous skin reactions in some people.
By law, PPD is not permitted in cosmetics intended to be applied to the skin, the FDA noted.
The agency has received reports of serious and long-lasting reactions in people who received temporary black henna tattoos. The reported problems include redness, blisters, raised red weeping lesions, loss of pigmentation, increased sensitivity to sunlight and permanent scarring. The reactions can occur immediately or up to two or three weeks later.
Incidents involving black henna tattoos that were reported to the FDA include:
A 5-year-old girl who developed severe reddening on her forearm about two weeks after receiving a tattoo.
A 17-year-old girl whose skin became red and itchy and later began to blister.
A mother who said her teenager daughter's back looked "the way a burn victim looks, all blistered and raw." A doctor said the girl will have scarring for life.
The FDA said that people who have a reaction to, or concern about, a temporary tattoo should contact a health care professional and contact MedWatch, which is the agency's safety information and problem-reporting program. This can be done online or by phoning 1-800-FDA-1088.

The Nemours Foundation offers youngsters information about tattoos.

In Malawi, WFP distributes food to targeted people in food deficit areas, refugee camps, schools and health centres. In 2011, WFP distributed 23,500 mt of assorted commodities in country. Approximately half of those (11,202 mt) were procured locally. Purchase for Progress, a 5-year pilot which started in 2008, aims at linking small scale farmers to markets by using WFP power purchase as leverage. In 2011, approximately half of the local purchases (5.126 mt) were bought from small holders.

They must have just changed it. It's now showing two Orbcomm missions again, both in 2014, but there is one Orbcomm mission scheduled before CRS-3.
So the ordering is significant, right?Meaning they've filled up January, and want to do FH early in the year?
Quote from: meekGee on 12/07/2013 01:06 AMSo the ordering is significant, right?Meaning they've filled up January, and want to do FH early in the year?Early in what year?
If they pull it off, it changes a lot of assumptions about the viability of the manifest and probable slippages.
I don't know when the change happened, but the SpaceX manifest currently shows 3 Orbcomm flights with 2 being BEFORE CRS-3. It shows Thaicom and one of the Orbcomm flights still in 2013, although obviously Thaicom is a long shot and another flight would not really be possible before 2014.Why does it show 3 Orbcomm flights? When did they move up to before CRS-3?

Thy is a traditional district in northwestern Jutland, Denmark. It is situated north of the Limfjord, facing the North Sea and Skagerrak, and has a population of around 44,000. The capital is Thisted population of 14.000. Snedsted, Hanstholm and Hurup are minor towns in the area. Since the Danish municipal reform of 1 January 2007, Thy is roughly identical with Thisted Municipality which belongs to the North Denmark Region. The southernmost part of Thy, the Thyholm Peninsula, belongs to Struer Municipality in the Central Denmark Region. Before the merger, Thy consisted of four municipalities: Hanstholm, Thisted, Sydthy and Thyholm. Thy forms the western part of the North Jutlandic Island and borders Hanherred to the northeast with Vendsyssel even further northeast. In the Limfjord is the island of Mors, considered a twin district of Thy, and south of the fjord is Hardsyssel in western mainland Jutland. Thy is traditionally regarded part of northern and western Jutland alike. The dialect belongs to the West Jutlandic group.

Varicose Veins....They are where? TMI
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 10-13-2012 - 9:38pm
HI Ladies( Possibly dads) I am 28 weeks and 3 days pregnant and My LO is measuring big (about 32 weeks) And Im starting to get varicose veins on my inner labia. They are filling with blood and becoming VERY swollen and painfull. I told my doctor about them and he says there is not much to do about them but they should go away after birth( which mine do but they never become this painful.) If anybody has anything helpful for me to do to reduce swelling and pain PLEASE share. I am already on bedrest because im dialated to almost a 2 and i also take hot baths to help but i only can do that during the night because i do have a 23 month old who is extremely active and does not take naps.
|Sun, 10-14-2012 - 7:27am
Sorry you're suffering with varicose veins, especially when you already have so much goin on. I have a friend who has had problems with varicose veins in that area in her last 2 pregnancies too. Compression stockings on your legs can help further up so maybe these are worth a try? I hope you get some relief soon
|Mon, 10-15-2012 - 12:18pm
|Sat, 10-20-2012 - 2:55pm
Bummer! I can commiserate to a degree. I've had awful spider and varicose veins (looks like I've been hit with a fast ball in my calf) since very early on. This is my 3rd pregnancy. I wear a compression thigh high (as the variocities go ALL the way up) and it certainly helps, but I still feel the ache and or pinching occasionally. I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping it all goes away post-baby!

ALICE - An active night in Alice as police checked out two reports of gunfire and a hit and run involving armed men.
Police first went out to Kleberg Street around midnight for a report of gunshots in the neighborhood. While officers never found anyone in the area connected to the gunshots, they did find several shell casings in the street.
Not too long afterwards police were called out to Gresham Rd for another report of gunfire. Again, no suspects were in the area. Officers did find a bullet lodged in the side of a house.
Then a real commotion started sometime around 2 a.m. Someone reported a hit and run crash on the corner of West Main and Duval Street that involved several people pointing guns at each other.
A driver of one car was arrested at the scene, but the investigation into what happened continues. For now, Daniel Aguilar is charged with aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.
Detectives think the incident was gang-related. A news release states more arrests are expected.
Police aren't saying if any of the incidents are related.

A Year in the Life
Parks & Rec Business celebrates its first anniversary with this issue. I didn't really give it much thought until I found myself rolling over the copy on top of our Contents page to Volume 2, Issue 1.
The rollover prompted two contradictory thoughts… Has it already been one year since we premiered this magazine? And, has it only been one year?
As that great philosopher Steve Miller once penned, "Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future." This is especially true in the magazine publishing business. As I write this I'm gathering materials for the September and October issues, putting further distance between us and our first issue.
Meanwhile, it feels like we've been around for longer than a year. We feel very comfortable — but certainly not complacent — in parks and recreation.
The evidence for this comfort comes from you, our readers. I'm amazed at the feedback we've been receiving since that first issue came out a year ago.
Usually, people don't take time out to write letters to the editor unless they're angry about something. That's human nature.
However, the letters pouring in (mostly via e-mail) have been of the sort that tie into the atmosphere we're trying to foster, which is the healthy and constructive exchange of worthwhile and practical information.
These letters have always been extremely incisive, asking pertinent questions that spark further research… Research we plan on conducting to answer those questions as best we can.
Our goal is to create an interactive forum between you, your peers and industry vendors to better your business. Our plan is to expand the breadth and depth of your magazine and Web site over the coming years.
Our first anniversary presents an excellent occasion to thank you for reading and for your invaluable feedback. Thanks also to the advertisers who support this magazine. They believe it's worthwhile to bring their message to you, and are also dedicated to supporting you with products and information geared specifically to parks and recreation professionals.
In the meantime, keep in touch and let us know how we can help. As always, we will make ourselves available to assist in any way we can.

Hi Pete, thanks for your answer to my previous question! You intimated that a king bed would be better than a Cali king unlesswe were very tall. Fiancee is 6'3". Do you still recommend king over Cali king?. In addition, after reviewing your site in depth I think we will go with the ansleigh luxury firm and a latex topper. Just need to determine what size. I am hoping to get a platform bed so we would not need the box springs. Thanks,
Hi Nancy,
If I were 6' 3", I'd have played basketball.
I'd leave that call to him.

Common Internet File System (CIFS)
Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a protocol that lets programs make requests for files and services on remote computers on the Internet.
NAS management
Looking for something else?
Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a protocol that lets programs make requests for files and services on remote computers on the Internet. CIFS uses the client/server programming model. A client program makes a request of a server program (usually in another computer) for access to a file or to pass a message to a program that runs in the server computer. The server takes the requested action and returns a response.
CIFS is a public or open variation of the Server Message Block Protocol developed and used by Microsoft. Like the SMB protocol, CIFS runs at a higher level than and uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocol. CIFS is viewed as a complement to the existing Internet application protocols such as the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
CIFS lets you:
- Get access to files that are local to the server and read and write to them
- Share files with other clients using special locks
- Restore connections automatically in case of network failure
- Use Unicode file names

For 2009, style finds a new home at Mazda.
If you're going to position your bread-and-butter four-door as a "sport sedan", it had better look and act the part.
Last season's Mazda 6 pulled it off in style, but the new version roaring out of the gate for the 2009 model year cranks that up by several notches.
The Mazda 6 plays against some powerful big-leaguers, headed by the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Malibu. That list doesn't include a number of fringe players chasing after the few crumbs left behind by the leaders.
With the current shift away from pickups and sport utility vehicles, the midsize car segment stands to gain ground this year, making this the perfect time for Mazda to launch its best effort to date at sedan stardom.
The Michigan-built Mazda 6 certainly earns full marks for style. The designers appear to have been dazzled — and rightfully so — by their work on the rotary-engine-powered RX-8 coupe-ina-sedan-body and have attached similar broad-shouldered fenders to the 6. The sweep of the roofline makes the trunk less prominent and the significantly larger rear glass simply adds to the Mazda 6's coupe-like aspirations.
However, behind the attractive smokeand-mirrors styling resides a true-blue Mazda sedan that is more than six inches longer and 2.3 inches wider than its predecessor, offers greater interior space (including more rear leg room) and delivers 10 percent more trunk space.
Also improved by 10 percent is the car's ability to slice through the wind, which helps both fuel efficiency and highspeed stability. That makes the Mazda 6 more than just a pretty face.
For the 2009 model year, the sedan is the only 6 being offered. A hatchback and wagon, part of the previous 6's portfolio, are no longer in the picture.
Improved steering as well as suspension upgrades and revisions further complement the 6's sporty nature while creating a more comfortable ride. Even the turning radius has been reduced by more than three feet for improved agility in tight spots.
The base engine is a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder that replaces the previous 156-horsepower 2.3-liter engine. Optional is a 3.7-liter V6 borrowed from Mazda's CX-9 tall wagon that produces 273 horses, a whopping 61 more than the outgoing 212-horsepower 3.0-liter V6.
The four-cylinder can be had with an all-new six-speed manual transmis sion, or optional five-speed automatic while the V6 works exclusively with the automatic.
The Mazda 6's 2009 lineup begins with the i SV model that comes with air conditioning, power windows, locks and mirrors, tilt/telescoping steering wheel basic audio system, 16-inch wheels and six airbags. Stability and traction control which help keep the driver out of trouble under slippery and adverse driving con ditions, is also part of the base package.
The Sport adds automatic speed con trol, keyless remote entry and audio input jack for the stereo (to bring along your portable music player), while the Touring edition bumps up the content with a key less push-button starter, eight-way power driver's seat, fancier gauges, sliding floor console armrest and 17-inch wheels.
The premium-grade Grand Touring induces buyers with dual-zone climate control, heated leather seats and outside mirrors, power-adjustable passenger chair, rain-sensing wipers and xenon (very bright) headlights. Buyers also get a blind-spot monitoring system that detects traffic approaching from either side of the vehicle and cautions the driver by activating a warning buzzer and flash ing lights on the exterior mirror.
On the option list are 18-inch wheels moonroof, Bose-brand audio package and a navigation system, to name just a few the goodies.
Note than all models except the base SV can be ordered with either four- or six-cylinder powerplants, allowing for the most fuel-efficient engine/transmis sion combo to be combined with even the most luxurious trim level.
The latest Mazda 6 should prove to be a sit-up-and-take-notice model with its flashier looks and added performance Depending on your tastes, the choice of mid-size sedan just got a whole lot harder . . . or easier.

Live from APWA: VSS Slurry Transfer Vehicle runs continuously (plus video)
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On August 28, 2012 @ 5:09 pm In Featured Boomerang,The Roadologist,Trade Show Coverage | No Comments
Doug Hogue, P.E., of VSS Macropaver, took time yesterday to talk with me at the American Public Works Association (APWA) 2012 in Anaheim, Calif., about the company's VSS Slurry Transfer Vehicle.
The SVT uses the technology of the Material Transfer Vehicles (MVTs) that is already used in the road construction industry and applies it to road maintenance. What stands out is the vehicle's ability to run continuously and without creating seams. It can also be used with all major brands of truck-mounted slurry machine.This SVT is designed to work with all major brands of Truck Mounted Slurry Machines, Hogue says.
With the ability of loading aggregate at 8 tons/minute and both water and emulsion at 200 gallons/minute, the STV allows the Paver to work uninterrupted while applying slurry or microsurfacing. The aggregate is fed into the STV receiving hopper from a conveyor equipped nurse unit. The upper section of the STV conveyor folds for transport. The emulsion and water are fed into the STV via a hose from the nurse unit tank using separate hydraulically driven 3-inch self-priming centrifugal pumps.
Minor fit-up requirements enable truck-mounted slurry machines into a versatile continuous or standard slurry machine.
For a video with Hogue explaining the VST in detail, check out this video I took at the APWA 2012 show, click here.

I bought this online and was not disappointed at all. the color is brown with a bit of a plum undertone. Even somewhat mauve like. I love the texture of nars eyeshadows. I use this color all over the lid most of the time without a crease color just cuz it's a fun color and easy. I would def buy this shadow again.

Very pretty in the pan, but I can't seem to get it to be the same color on my lid---ie I wish it held a more purple hue (goes almost grey on me ?).
Have had luck though when I prime my lids (or use Edie or India Song as an all-over lid color).
For me, not memorable, a little too fussy.

I put "yes" I would buy this product again but doubt I will have to! One thing with Nars shadows is that there is a big pan of it! As for Ondine, I saw it in the store and couldn't decide if I wanted it or not and then ended up ordering it online. The color is a plummy sort of brown with a bit of sparkle with it. It is sheerer on me if I don't use primer, and much more pigmented with primer. It doesn't seem to crease and I personally haven't had fallout during the day. I find I turn for it a lot when I don't want to think about how I am going to wear my makeup that day.

I guess NARS fooled me again. Like a few other NARS eyeshadows that I've tried, it is absolutely gorgeous in the pot but not applied. They seem to be only pretty to keep around and look at but not to use. lol It's a plummy color w/gold shimmers on me but nothing special that is worth paying this price for. It is pretty sheer and lacks pigmentation. And the worst part is that is the shimmers do not stick well and are not that visible either. I've tried drugstore eyeshadows that are much better quality for a tiny fraction of the price.

I really like this eyeshadow! I'm new to NARS, always thought they were too expensive, but this month I splurged and it was definitely worth it! I really like the color as an all-over, but you can also wear it in the crease. It is so smooth, and blends really well. I experimented, and looks amazing over a dark base, like a black paint pot, also AMAZING over NYX jumbo pencil in french fries (that's the name of the color). If you like taupey shades that are versatile, you need this :)

Ondine is a lovely grayish plum with gold shimmer. I love it as a lid color as well as along my lower lashline. Unfortunately it is not as pigmented as most Nars eyeshadows. It's still decent, but I just expected more for the price I paid.

I was attracted to this beautiful purpley color in the pan as soon as i saw it. at first it was great, looked gorgeous with my green eyes! the color isnt so pigmented but i was ok with that because i wanted it for a day time eye shadow anyways; however, as the day wore on the color faded and i was left with specks of gold glitter all over my lids ! it looked terrible! i will give this one another try but it might be going back to sephora!

It's a nice color that I've not really seen before.. so that's fun.. It looks super sparkly but it really just gives off a nice shimmer. Only niche is that it isn't as pigmented as most nars eyeshadows.

Wow, I didn't think that this color would work for me, but it really makes my hazel eyes pop. The color is unique, it is cool and warm at the same time. The shade is a muted taupey plum with light shimmer. I imagine that the color would work for a variety of skin tones.

Christina Aguilera is pregnant with baby no. 2!
JUST ADDED: 5 Seconds of Summer will be rocking the stage at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival Village in Las Vegas! The band sat down with Ryan Seacrest to break the news.�Click here to buy your tickets now, before they sell out!
Check out the full lineup for this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival
Listen to Christina Aguilera on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - First comes love, then comes a proposal … then comes a baby?!
Christina Aguilera and fiancé Matthew Rutler are expecting their first child together. This will be the second kid for "The Voice" coach, who has a 6-year-old son, Max, with her ex-husband, Jordan Bratman.
Rutler popped the question to Aguilera, 33, on Valentine's Day.
He asked and I said…… pic.twitter.com/XWZVZOjDX1— Christina Aguilera (@xtina) February 15, 2014
The couple met on the set of her 2010 film "Burlesque" and have been dating for nearly three years.
This will be the second marriage for the singer, who was hitched to Bratman from November 2005 until October 2010.
Aguilera's soon-to-be mother-in-law reportedly let the news slip that she was going to be a grandma.
"I don't know what their plans are," Rutler's mom, Kathleen, told In Touch Weekly when asked if she thought Christina and Matt might be moving to the East Coast. "But when you have a baby, you're not planning on moving anywhere anytime soon!"
So far, Christina has stayed mum about the happy news on Twitter.
We just have one question … boy or girl?!

Leed Certification: How "Green" Are The Buildings?
Leed Certification: How "Green" Are The Buildings?
Stream Fox 17 newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5 am and News at 9 pm.
Developers of the greenest of green buildings can boast they're 'leed' certified. And leed, otherwise known as leadership in energy and environmental design is the new standard.
Gabriel kroiz teaches architecture and runs his own company. "Leed is a vehicle for moving the technology forward," Gabriel Kroiz said.
And a generator of generous tax breaks -- developers of this office tower reaped one-point-six million dollars. Sure parking spots for hybrid cars, an electric car charger and lock-up bike racks helped its grade. "But the lions share of rating points for that building came from taking energy conservation to another level. A point system is used to calculate the green rating," says Kristine Frazao.
"Despite all these innovative practices it doesn't really pay for a lot of thise buildings," Luke Rosiak said. Luke Rosiak, an investigative reporter with the Washington Examiner, measured the energy efficiency of leed buildings in New York City. He found office buildings with leed certification no more energy efficient than buildings built decades ago. In fact, Rosiak says in many cases, the new buildings emitted far more greenhouse gas per square foot and carbon dioxide...Leaving behind a larger carbon footprint -- exactly what the program is trying to reduce. "In a lot of ways this has become 'green-washing' where this is a marketing tool," Rosiak said.
Its not only office buildings that are boasting of leed certification -- we found a gas station that also earned the mark of distinction. Still Kroiz, the architect, believes the program does more good than harm -- but he admits... "Leed makes it complicated," said Kroiz. I'm Kristine Frazao reporting. For more information, click here.

The Best Hiking Carriers for Mountain Kids -- 2012
A hiking carrier can make (or break) your day on the trail. Photo: Katie Arnold
View Our 2013 Roundup of hiking carriers.
This project's been a while in the works, mostly because every time it seems ready to wrap, a new state-of-the-art baby carrier hits the market. This is a good thing for parents, who not so long ago used to be resigned to a couple of less-than-ideal options: cumbersome external frame packs or saggy soft carriers that put all of the weight on your shoulders, guaranteed back-busters when you hit the trail. The truth is, different packs work for different parents and different stages of your child's growth. Here's a roundup of six stellar choices for hitting the trail with newborns to preschoolers. We did the leg work so you don't have to.
Best for: Birth to 40 pounds
For unrivaled baby-and-parent comfort, the Ergo Classic was my go-to hiking carrier for the first couple years of my daughters' lives. I used it from about two weeks post-partum, in all seasons. With the help of a comfy padded waist belt, this soft cotton canvas carrier distributes most of the baby's weight on your hips and not your shoulders—a boon to new mothers with achy backs.
The Ergo is designed to carry infants on the front and older babies on the back or side. For the newborns under three months, you'll want to cushion the baby in the carrier using the infant insert (not included), a thick foam pad that wraps around the baby like a taco. From the age of about two weeks, both my daughters would fall asleep almost immediately when I swaddled them in the insert and placed them side saddle in the Ergo; it must have been comfortable because they'd sleep for nearly all of the two-hour hike up and down Picacho Peak, the only sound coming from my chest a contented snoring.
Figuring out when to switch the baby to your back depends on his temperament and size. My extremely curious older daughter refused to ride face in on my chest after about eight months, while my younger daughter was content to snuggle there until about a year, when she got so big it became difficult to see the trail under my feet. A poplin hood stuffs into the small front pocket and can be pulled over the baby to support his head during naptime or as shelter from sun, wind, and other weather.
PROS: Lightweight, flexible, and the most comfortable of any tested. At only a pound and a half, it's great for traveling. With a carrying capacity equal to those of the backpack-style carriers, it's the most versatile option on the market.
CONS: Very little storage, so on longer day hikes you'll need to foist your gear onto your partner or wear your own daypack on your back (or front—awkward). It can also be challenging to put on by yourself, especially with baby on the back. And because your little one rides so close to you, it can be kind of a sweat factory in warm weather. $115; www.ergobaby.com.

Best for: Nine months (or sitting up their own) to 33 pounds
Built for longer hikes when you need to bring gear, the KangaKid is a daypack and a baby carrier all in one. There's an ample storage area for rain jackets, layers, lunch, and diapers, and a back compartment that unzips to become a padded baby seat, complete with adjustable safety harness. I used the KangaKid to tote my 13-month-old up 14,265-foot Quandary Peak, outside Breckenridge, Colorado, last summer. Slogging 3,500 vertical feet in just over three miles with a kid on your back is never going to feel easy, but with the Kanga, at least it wasn't painful. I'm only 5'6", and the pack fit me snugly without towering over my head or throwing me off balance. I had only minimal rubbing under one of the shoulder straps—a minor complaint given how content Maisy seemed, especially when she got tired around 13,000 feet, leaned her head against my shoulder, and fell asleep. The pockets were ample enough to hold both of our foul weather mountain gear, a small grocery store worth of snacks, and her diaper kit, and two external mesh pockets keep water bottles and baby bottles close at hand.
PROS: Lightweight, at 4 pounds, 8 ounces, with plenty of storage and none of the bulk. The Kanga's an all-around bomber choice when you need to pack for more than just a mellow day hike; also great for easy-in, easy-out when you're traveling.
CONS: Without an external frame, the pack has no way of standing up on its own when the baby's inside, so you'll need to prop it up manually when you're loading baby. Same thing on the dismount: lower carefully and then hold it up so she doesn't tip over. No rain-or-sun fly—bring Gore-Tex. $160; www.deuteroutdoor.com.

Best for: Nine months (or holding head up) to 50 pounds
This medium-size backpack-style carrier strikes a happy balance between storage and comfort. Like all Kelty Kids products (the company pioneered backpack carriers for toting children), safety is paramount, and the five-point harness clips easily into padded shoulder straps. The contoured hip belt offers plenty of support and four generous, zippered pockets where you can stash all of your essentials for a day on the trail. But don't bother packing a diaper pad—a mesh changing station comes with the pack.
Of all the backpack-style frame packs in this review, I found the FC 3.0 most comfortable for my size. The adjustable frame is compact enough that it never bumped the back of my head—annoying when you are trying to look forward on the trail—though I had to cinch the hip belt to its smallest size in order to keep the bulk of the weight where it's meant to be: on my hips, not my back. Smaller women than I might have fit issues.
The sun-and-rain fly stuffs into a small pocket and has see-through mesh panels front and back, but it's freestanding and needs to be attached using four flexible rods. Suggestion: Don't wait until it's raining to fish it out and set it up. You'll get wet. I wish I'd thought to attach a couple of dangly, plastic distractions on a hike with my three-year-old to the top of the Santa Fe Ski Basin; they might have come in handy when the whining began.
PROS: Good storage, diaper pad included, and an adjustable frame that can be sized down for smaller torsos makes this an all-around solid choice that will fit most parents.
CONS: At 7 pounds, 2 ounces, it's the lightest of the backpack-style carriers we tested, but until you acclimate to carrying a 30-pound kid on your back, any extra weight can feel like overkill, especially on steep trails.
NOTE: I tested the 2011 model; the comparable pack for 2012 is the Journey 2.0. $230; www.kelty.com.

Best for: Nine months (or holding head up) to 40 pounds
Several features set the top-of-the-line Poco apart from its rivals: One, no question the "Fit on the Fly" hip belt adjuster was the easiest and fastest to cinch down and size to my waist. At its smallest setting, it fit me snugly, with no extra room for rubbing. Two, it has the most ample, sun-and-rain cover. Pre-attached, it unzips from its sleeve and pulls forward to attach via clips to the side of the shoulder straps. Three, the zip-off daypack compartment is ideal for shorter outings when you need less gear. No need to haul the extra weight; simply unzip and go. There's still a cavernous lower compartment for diapers (changing pad included), snacks, and a change of clothes. Better yet, when your child wants to walk, the low-profile daypack can become your child's "practice" pack. When they get tired, just zip it back on. Four, stirrups. Yup, this ride sports a pair of nylon stirrups that keeps tired little legs from dangling (and, as we discovered on a hike up New Mexico's 12,200-foot Deception Peak, lets them play "horse"). Other niceties: A hidden hydration slot holds a bladder, and the child's harness was the easiest of the batch to attach; ample padding keeps the strap from disappearing into the cockpit, so no more rooting around for tangled shoulder straps. True to Osprey's pack-building pedigree, the Poco has no fewer than seven smaller pockets, both mesh and zippered, including a small one sized for a cell phone or pacifier on the chest straps.
PROS: All the bells and whistles you'd come to expect from Osprey.
CONS: Despite four settings for torso size (XS-L) and numerous attempts to adjust it, I was unable to prevent the top of the pack from nudging me in the back of my head, which made walking up steep inclines uncomfortable. My husband, however, had no issues and voted this one his fave. $299; www.ospreypacks.com.
Best for: Nine months (holding head up) to 40 pounds
If you're looking for the Suburban of child carriers, where size is no issue and bells and whistles come standard, this fully-loaded backpack may be for you. The tallest and heaviest of the packs tested—at 35" high—the Kid Comfort III offers baby the roomiest compartment, with a fully-padded head rest and a hidden rain hood that accordions into its own pocket when you're not using it. A removable padded "pillow" snaps onto the front of the carrier at baby's chest height, perfect for lolling heads (and can be detached for easy washing). The coolest detail of all, though, might be the convenient side entry via snapping buckle—no more trying to shove the baby through the leg holes from above. There's seemingly no end to the storage options, either: Twin exterior mesh pockets keep essentials like pacifiers, sunscreens, snacks, and toys close at hand; two small pockets on the hip belt are designed for cell phones, small cameras, and, get this, even a small rear-view mirror (included); roomy zippered compartments stow rain jackets, extra layers, and diapers; and—look closely— a zippered sleeve tucked into the back frame stashes a hydration bladder.
Bigger's not always better, though, when you're hiking up the side of a mountain. My husband, whose six-foot-tall frame was better proportioned for this massive pack, found the Kid Comfort much more comfortable than I. At more than half my height, it was simply too tall for me, especially when climbing steep pitches, and I had trouble cinching the padded waist belt to fit my hips, though my husband had no difficulty. This one's so comfy our older daughter had no problems dozing off on a long hike above 10,000 feet, but beware of droopy branches. Like driving a U-Haul into a parking garage, two words come to mind: low clearance.
PROS: Thoughtful features ensure baby's comfort and easy storage—teddy bear included.
CONS: If you're small, this one may overpower you. Not surprisingly, it's also the beefiest of the bunch, at 7 pounds, 10 ounces. $299; www.deuteroutdoor.com.

Best for: Age 2 1/2 to 60 pounds
As child carriers go, the Piggyback Rider is the most minimal set-up we tested. One step up from, well, a piggyback ride, it's basically an aluminum foot rest attached to a nylon shoulder harness. As such, it's ideal for kids who are big enough to want to hike on their own, but who still get tired and want to ride. No more lifting them in and out of heavy backpacks every five minutes. All they have to do is climb on, put their feet on the bar and hold on to two nylon hand holds on the shoulder straps, and voila: They can ride piggyback style without choking your neck, dangling their legs, or, worse, losing their grip and tumbling off. A child safety harness tethers the child to the carrier, so even if their feet slip off the bar (which happened to our three-year-old a couple of times), they won't fall off.
At less than three pounds and designed to be super streamlined, there aren't many bells and whistles (well, there is one actual whistle, integrated into the chest strap, in case you need to scare off a bear or rein in your kid). The adult shoulder harness isn't padded, nor are the edges of the aluminum bar, which, if you're not careful with your adjustments, can press right into your lower back. Ouch.
PROS: Lightweight and affordable; a great "transition" carrier for kids who like to hike but sometimes need a lift. Has the heaviest carrying capacity of any unit we tested.
CONS: Takes practice to bend over and load and strap the child. No storage whatsoever—if you need a small pocket, upgrade to the Deluxe. $89.99; www.piggybackrider.com.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.
