Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

MRHS Students Try Goalball with Help from Classmate
Earlier in March, the coach and members of the Nova Scotia Provincial Goalball teams conducted a workshop on this fast-paced, challenging sport with Middleton Regional High School middle level students. Initially developed after World War I as a sport for people with visual impairments, goalball is a popular sport around the world, with high level national and international competitions.
MRHS student Mason Smith was one of the goalball players demonstrating and teaching the sport to his classmates at MRHS. He has also helped demonstrate goalball to students in Bridgetown. Mason was recently invited to compete with the New Brunswick Provincial Junior goalball team at a national competition in Ontario later in March. Congratulations and good luck at the competition, Mason, and thank you for sharing goalball with students in our region!

The Kettle Moraine basin of Wisconsin contains nutrient-rich soil. It is here, on company-owned certified organic farmland, that we grow strong, vital plants for use in our supplements. The crops we regularly grow include: alfalfa, barley grass, beets, Brussels sprouts, buckwheat, kale, kidney beans, oats, pea vine, Spanish black radish, and sweet potatoes.
Nature has provided the foundation, and we use organic farming practices to ensure that the quality of our farmland is maintained for years to come. In accordance with our organic certification, we follow strict guidelines to grow our crops, keeping detailed records of our farming practices. Our farmland is monitored annually by certifying agencies to ensure that only the approved farming practices are used. At Standard Process, we are involved from the moment a seed is planted through shipping the finished product to your door.
Dr. Royal Lee, founder of Standard Process, said "Whole foods are the best natural source of vitamins. The key to the highest quality is the manufacturing process." Because preserving the whole food complex is a top priority when manufacturing our supplements, we base our formulas on Dr. Lee's time-proven philosophies. Our manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished product, takes an average of six weeks. Throughout the process, raw materials are handled in a carefully controlled environment and tested for quality.
Learn More About Manufacturing
As farm operations manager for Standard Process Inc., Christine Mason is responsible for managing the company's certified organic farm. Since joining the company in 2001, she has grown the Standard Process farm into one of Wisconsin's largest organic vegetable farms. Christine holds a bachelor's degree in technical agriculture from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville and has been a professional agronomist for 25 years. She is well known as a leader in the Wisconsin organic farming community.
On the Standard Process farm, we use certified organic seeds whenever they are available, whether they are purchased or saved from our own farm. Untreated conventional seed is an option but is considered only after a diligent search is conducted and it is determined that certified organic seed is not available.
Irrigation water is supplied from a naturally occurring artesian flowage below the farm's surface.
Our farm is surrounded on all sides by environmental buffers to minimize the impact of nonagricultural land and synthetic inputs from conventional farming practices.
Organic weed-control standards are strictly adhered to at the Standard Process farm. The main methods of weed management include:
The majority of biodegradable byproducts produced during the manufacturing are returned to the fields in a monitored land-spreading program. By doing this, we keep unnecessary wastes out of landfills and put nutrients back into the soil to benefit crops in the following years.
Standard Process utilizes composting, which is nature's way of recycling, to increase fertility and soil health on the farm. Composting is the biological process of breaking up organic production waste from the farm's press room into an extremely useful humus-like substance.

|Catharine Ray, Anna Jean
|Deputy governor
William Greene (January 1, 1797 - March 24, 1883) was a lieutenant governor of the state of Rhode Island, serving for two years shortly after the American Civil War.
From a prominent Rhode Island family, Greene was the son of United States Senator and Rhode Island Attorney General Ray Greene and his wife Mary M. Flagg. Greene was also the grandson of the second governor of the state, William Greene who served for several years during the American Revolutionary War, and the great grandson of William Greene who served 11 one-year terms as a colonial governor of Rhode Island. Greene also descends from John Greene, Jr. who served for ten years as deputy governor of the Rhode Island colony, from Warwick founders John Greene, Samuel Gorton, and Randall Holden, and from Frances (Latham) Dungan, the "mother of governors."[1]
Greene graduated from Brown University and studied law at Litchfield in Connecticut. Following this he went to Ohio about 1820, and spent more than four decades there, promoting the Cincinnati public schools and roads.[2] Greene delivered a Phi Beta Kappa Address at Brown in 1851, which supported the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and criticized those who violated the law (abolitionists).[3] He returned to Warwick in 1862, and was selected as Rhode Island's Lieutenant Governor in 1866, under Governor Ambrose Burnside, shortly after the Civil War. He served for two years.[2]
Greene died in Warwick in 1883 and was buried in the Governor Greene Cemetery where his father, grandfather, and great grandfather are all buried, along with their wives.
Greene was married in 1821 to Abby Bracket Lyman, the daughter of Erastus Lyman, and the couple had two daughters: Catharine Ray Greene (1824-1864) and Anna Jean Greene (1827-1831). He married second Caroline Brenton Burge.[4]

Are baby bjorns a guy thing?
Started by (feral)epg , Nov 11 2012 10:46 PM
25 replies to this topic
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:46 PM
Most of the reviews here seem to lean far more towards the ergo/ manduca type baby carriers, but I'm having a hard time convincing DP to follow this advice?
Today we were out and noticed that there are loads of men using baby bjorns, and loads of women with other types of carriers. One couple in particular swapped the carrier when they switched who was carrying the baby - the husband used the baby bjorn, then the wife switched to a sling. Baby looked pretty happy all the time (only made a fuss when put in the car seatcapsule while the switch over was being performed.)
Are there other couples out there who have splurged on getting one of each type of carrier?
Is there some anatomical difference that makes different carriers different for different sexes?
And do any of you Manduca / Ergo wearing mothers find that your male partners prefer the baby bjorn?
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:50 PM
I don't know if it helps but both DH and I loved the baby bjorn active.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:54 PM
We were gifted a baby bjorn but I bough a Manduca when DS was about six months old
I liked the baby bjorn until DS started putting on more weight and then I found it killed my neck/shoulders to wear him in it even for only 15 mins (ie quick trip to shops).
The Manduca kinda distributes the weight more to your hips, IMO. I found it much more comfortable. And because I could put him on my back in the MD It was more practical as my arms were completely free to do stuff.
DH liked to use both, but he was more likely to wear DS outward facing in the bb than I was, but that is because I never liked to wear him outward facing at all. I don't think he really had a preference- he just did what I was doing!
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:56 PM
We have a Baby Bjorn. We both preferred it over the other types of slings, even though we tried others out.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:01 PM
I guess guys might be more able to live through the discomfort and pain that the bjorn puts the wearer through? Though DF and I both agree that the bjorn is rubbish and will be splurging on a ergo next time.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 11:06 PM
Baby Bjorns are the cheapest carrier, so many many people buy them. And then only the men can wear them because they are so uncomfortable. Note that they are also utterly rubbish for babies hips. I think that women wear 'other' carriers because the only women willing to carry an older baby in a carrier are those in possession of a comfortable carrier. Everyone else puts the baby in a pram. Whereas if they already possess a Baby Bjorn, then the bloke will use it.
A carrier is not a fashion statement. It doesn't matter how it looks, if its not comfortable. And if it puts you baby at much greater risk of long term hip problems. Buy something where the baby sits in it with the hips flexed to 90 degrees, not a baby bjorn where they dangle off their crotch. Its really bad for them, and that alone should convince your DH to stay away from baby bjorns.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 12:18 AM
I don't find my Baby Bjorn carrier to be uncomfortable at all. I think the model is "Synergy", which has the extra back support, taking a lot of the weight off of your shoulders.
My DD is 9 months and around 9 kg and I still use it - mainly when doing the grocery shopping. I love it!
I have only ever faced her outwards in the carrier (started using it at 16 weeks). She is too curious to face my chest, she wants to see the world! Also, being a breast fed baby, having her face stuck in my boobs means she just wanted a feed. So a carrier that doesn't allow for outward facing wouldn't have worked for us.
Edited by HurryUpAlready, 12 November 2012 - 12:21 AM.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 09:47 AM
DH loves the hugabub in black - looks great. Baby Bjorns really are awful. I'm too short waisted for the hugabub so I wear the Ergo Sport - super comfortable and I could wear DD for hours! So much better for baby that being in one of those crotch-danglers.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 09:58 AM
I agree with MrsN on this. You see babybjorns because they are cheap and have great marketing strategies in place. Get an Ergo for a structured carrier or a wrap (eg. hug a bub, sleepy wrap) for a non structured carrier.

My bold.
Interesting. DS was also breastfed and this was not our experience. Each to their own, but I hated wearing DS outward facing, he got totally overstimulated and I felt like he needed the security of being able to see the person who was carrying him.
Also wanted to add that my mum also rated the Manduca over the BB. She would jump at the chance to wear dS if we went anywhere but would get sore shoulders with the BB.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 10:09 AM
Baby Bjorns are actually not cheap, the other versions like the Snuggli/Big W versions etc are (maybe $60?) but the Baby Bjorns I think are at least $129... up to $170 for the active and/or mesh versions, $209 for the miracle... (roughly)... Ergos start at $159 rrp...and you will get much more use out of them.
The Ergos/Manducas come in plain colours like black etc that are very "guy friendly" in terms of looks

DH, well we both, use the hug a bub with little babies then the ergo.....he LOVES carrying DD in the ergo. The BB's don't sit well with us because of the hip thing (pardon the pun!). Plus I hate seeing little babies hanging off their parents outward facing, to me that negates the point of carrying them, you can't see their face, they can't see you.
I would go with the fact that traditional BB's get very uncomfortable very quickly as your baby grows, most women can't use them for very long, but blokes have enough upper body/shoulder strength to be able to do it.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 10:35 AM
My DH is quite big and the Ergo simply didn't fit around him. The BB has very long straps though, so he could get it to juuuust fit. Otherwise he would have used the Ergo, I'm sure. It really is so much comfier.
I can see why you'd swap carriers though - DH and I are chalk and cheese in terms of size, it would be much easier to have one carrier which remains set up for each than to muck about with the straps every time.
BB has a very good marketing program, I think many people buy those when they're expecting baby, then are stuck with them when the baby is a few months old and too heavy to carry comfortably. That's probably why some couples have ended up with two carriers.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 10:37 AM
We have both an Ergo and a BB.
I got the BB first, before DD was born (2nd hand pretty cheap).
It wasn't very long before she was feeling far to heavy to carry that way. So I got an Ergo, so much lighter! DH kept using the BB and he had it adjusted to his size, while I had the Ergo adjusted to my size.
Never had any trouble with DD facing towards me instead of outwards, and it was much easier to walk without her legs dangling down and hitting mine.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 10:44 AM
We started with a sling, and then moved to the ergo. DH has used both, altho he doesn't love wearing the ergo for long on his front... DS is ok on the back for short periods, but if he's going to sleep he likes to be on the front.
Hate BB's and their forward facing crotch dangling marketing ploy.....
We just adjust the strapping between us, but only have one carrier.... DH is keen to get a sport for next time tho...
Posted 12 November 2012 - 10:51 AM
BB wearers here - no crotch dangling though as I wore it quite high and DH is very tall.

Crotch dangling refers to the baby dangling BY the crotch, not down near YOUR crotch
Posted 12 November 2012 - 10:56 AM
Both DH and I were baby Bjorn people. I tried and hated the other slings etc.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 10:59 AM
An Ergo is not terribly feminine in its design, unlike slings, the hug-a-bub and similar, so I don't know why a man wouldn't use one. They're much better for a baby's spine than a bjorn is.

This quote reminds me....we had a BB for both boys, DS1 loved it and DH took him out in it a fair bit, except DS was of a certain height that whenever he was in it and would see something that excited him, like a dog or a truck, he d kick his legs wildly in excitement right in DH's er, sensitive mans area....DH took to wearing a cricket box underneath his pants whenever he took DS out in it (I'm not joking)
But more importantly, I had no idea BBs were so bad for the baby's hips....as I said we used it a lot for DS1, and he HAD clicky hips and was in a pavlik harness for 8 weeks from birth...I am almost certain that the paediatrician actually recommended a harness to carry him around, but I could be wrong, it was all a bit of a blur ...maybe he recommended another harness..not sure. Anyway, we don't carry DS2 around in it much, he likes the pram and the BB hurts my back and, well, DH has lost his cricket box so he'd prefer not to use the BB again!
Posted 12 November 2012 - 01:03 PM
I agree, I've seen lots of blokes with babies in BBs and never one with an Ergo-style or wrap style.
But I see plenty of men with the hiking type baby backpacks too (like Macpac) - maybe that's what they do when the babies get too heavy for the BB.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 01:14 PM
I know a lot of people hate BB's but I used one for both my girls and didn't find it uncomfortable. I carried them both until they were around one.
When I was pregnant with my second my eldest was seeing a child physio as she was developmentally behind. I asked if it was because of the BB and was told no and it was fine/recommended to use one for my second.
Sounds like I may have got some dodgy advice!
In terms of a men and carriers, there were none on the market large enough for my then DH so it was a bit of a non issue. I imagine if he had used one we would probably have two. Ii would be really annoying to adjust the straps every time you switched.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 01:22 PM
I like a pouch sling (I use hotslings) because they look pretty, are fuss free and I can have one stuffed in the nappy bag at all times.
I like the Baby Bjorn for short trips, like school pick up etc because its less fussy than the ergo but gets uncomfortable after a while. DH never wears the baby but has used the BB with our older kids in the past.
I like the Ergo but with the newborn insert its kind of bulky and hot. I think I'll like it more when he's a bit bigger.
I was told by another mum the other day that she'd been told by a physio not to use a pouch sling as it was bad for baby's hips and to use a Baby Bjorn at all times. So much conflicting advice!

heff, I think you can actually get extension straps for the ergo - very similar to an extension piece for an airplane seatbelt.

We've got a Baby Bjorn, two Sleepy Wraps and a Boba 2G. The Baby Bjorn is carrier of last resort for both of us, and it depends on the child as to whether we want to use the Boba or the Sleepy Wraps. DH would rather use the hot pink sleepy wrap than the Baby Bjorn!
DS2 likes to 'chew' on the carriers so at the moment with him we're always reaching for the Boba, baby slobber soaked Sleepy Wraps are not at all comfortable, they get used for the older two kids. Every other baby wearer we know does it the other way round, sleepy wrap or hug a bub for the baby, structured carrier for the toddler.

Friday, November 14, 2008
Federal regulators have finalized increased disclosure rules that lay out how the government expects contractors to monitor employees' wrongdoing on government contracts, two federal procurement agencies have announced.
Under the new contractor code of ethics and disclosure requirements, government contractors must notify both the contracting agency's inspector general and contracting officer when a company's executive or any manager comes across credible evidence of a crime related to a government contract. The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council published the regulations in Wednesday's (Nov. 12, 2008) Federal Register.
The new rule takes effect Dec. 12.
"By mandating disclosure to the inspector general's office, the rule will add weight to the arguments inside a corporation that good business practices in the long run favor compliance and disclosure," the regulators wrote. It wouldn't suffice to have contractors disclose a crime to the contracting officer, who is in no position to evaluate criminal actions, they said.
The new rule amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to amplify the requirements for a contractor code of business ethics and conduct, an internal control system, and disclosure to the government of certain violations of criminal law, violations of the civil False Claims Act, or significant overpayments. The Internal Control System is not required for small businesses or for commercial item contracts.
The rules allow federal officials to suspend or bar a company from government work if the company knowingly fails to tell officials about crimes or significant overpayments by the government. The authority lasts for up to three years after final payment by the government on a contract.
However, the rules granted contractors some flexibility. The councils debated whether to define how long a contractor would have to notify the government of crimes but decided against adding a specific period of time. The councils said that requirement would be arbitrary and would cause more problems than it would solve. For example, if a time were added, officials would have to determine when exactly when that period would begin, the notice states.
The rules also give contractors an opportunity to examine the credibility of the evidence of the alleged crime before telling the government. Until the contractor has determined the evidence is credible, federal officials can't charge the contractor with a knowingly failure to notify government officials, the regulators wrote.
Similarly, regulators intentionally did not add rigid requirements to set up an internal system for discovering wrongdoing. They only gave a general framework for such systems.
"The contractor can use its own judgment in the details," they wrote. "Competing firms are free to establish the highest ethical standards they consider to be appropriate to the business at hand."
The intent of the system is to help the company to notify the government about those actions, such as an anonymous hotline. The system would also ensure that a company quickly corrects any criminal actions. Contractors must have the systems in place in 90 days of being awarded a contract, according to the notice.
The councils had passed initial rules in 2007 for notifying the government about crimes and were assessing comments on a second proposal to expand those rules. In June, however, President Bush signed legislation (initiated by the Department of Defense, General Services Administration and NASA) that requires contractors to tell the government of crimes, thereby ending voluntary disclosures.
