Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Brent H. Braveman, MEd, OTR/L(University of Illinois at Chicago)
Description: This textbook highlights collaborative intraprofessional relationships in clinical practice between registered occupational therapists (OTRs) and certified occupational therapy assistants (COTAs).
Purpose: The stated purpose of the book is to provide an extensive review of the roles and functions of occupational therapy practitioners. A second stated purpose is to be a clinical reference and major classroom text.
Audience: The author's intended audience for this book is both students and practitioners. Although the delineation of professional roles is clear and consistent with mainstream practice, the clinical applications are general. Students and entry-level COTAs or OTRs will find this text informative. Advanced clinicians unfamiliar with working in intraprofessional teams may also benefit from reading this text.
Features: Multiple sample forms and diagrams of treatment processes are provided to supplement the text. Photographs are limited, but are of good quality. Several appendixes are included (e.g., standards of practice, code of ethics) and are valuable references for entry-level practitioners. The expanded table of contents is useful in identifying and locating key concepts.
Assessment: This book will appeal to students because of its effective integration of theory, professional documents, and application to clinical practice. The clinical examples are varied, which lends to its value as an introductory text. However, the generality and variety of clinical examples limit its usefulness for experienced practitioners. The book is recommended for COTA programs and as an introduction to intraprofessional relationships and team building for OTRs.

Once you have successfully folded one unit for Team ECF1 you can request the Team ECF title:
Please do not submit the form unless you have properly completed one work unit and have received points for completion. If your contributions page has not updated to show a completed work unit with points I'll skip your request and move on to the next and you'll have to request again after you have folded a unit and received credit.
Making multiple requests will not speed up your title, they only slow down the process for others waiting to get their title.
1 As of 2012-12-07 you must also have received points for your contribution. Zero point work units are failures and do not count for the purpose of earning a Team ECF title
2014-12-20 - It should also be added that those who just fold a few work units just to get the title and then stop contributing won't be sporting the title very long. The Team ECF title is for those who are actively participating in the project. - retired1

Vanilla Orchid
Has anyone successfully grown a vanilla orchid outdoors in a zone similar to mine? I just received a small (5-6" long) Vanilla planifolia and plan to grow it in my enclosed patio where it will receive filtered light and be protected from the colder weather.
From my reading, it seems like overwatering may be the biggest danger. They seem to like a fast-draining soil mix and misting on their aerial roots. But I'd welcome any tips!
AHS, Botanica and Flora say it can't handle temperatures below about 40. However, AHS describes it as "intermediate to warm growing."
Some googling revealed the following:
So a close relative can survive in Southern California, I suspect a limiting issue may be its semi-epiphytic growth habit - it dies back from the base becoming fully epiphytic with age which may be problematic here. Unfortunately that doesn't answer your central issue which is whether the biggest limiting factor relating to cold is mechanical (freeze damage) or biochemical (certain metabolic processes can't occur below a certain temperature). If the former, then protecting it from frost will suffice, if the latter, it will require a heated space.
Vanilla orchid is a true Zone 11 plant that is marginal even in the mildest spots of southern Florida. It really needs warm, humid nights, even in winter.
Due to the extremely long canes that it needs to produce before flowering it is difficult to grow even in a greenhouse since a flower pot is not sufficient to support its needs.

Kingsville Favorites
Favorite thing: The origin of the famous Running "W" brand is shrouded in mystery. Some have speculated that it represents one of the many Diamond-Back Rattlesnakes that inhabit the South Texas plains, or the Santa Gertrudis Creek that winds it's way through the King Ranch. Perhaps it symbolizes the sweep of the Texas Longhorn's rack, or maybe it was just a practical design chosen because it is difficult to alter and quick to heal. Whatever the case, today the Running "W" is one of the best known brands in Texas. It has also become the logo for the fine leather goods and other items which bear the King Ranch label.Related to:

Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs
Brandi Carlile, Dawn Landes
Merriweather Post Pavilion
10475 Little Patuxent Parkway
Columbia, MD, 21044
"There's something magical that happens when these musicians play together," says Ray LaMontagne. "I've been wanting to capture what we've been doing live for a while. The chemistry is really special."
The billing on LaMontagne's fourth album, God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise, reveals instantly that something new is happening with this project. The record is credited to "Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs"—the first time that the singer/songwriter has defined himself within a band setting, rather than as a solo artist. In addition, it marks the first time that LaMontagne has taken on the role of producer. And as soon as the music starts, with the Joe Cocker-style soul power of the opening "Repo Man," it's apparent that one of the world's most acclaimed artists has moved into some fresh territory.
Not that he was necessarily in need of a new direction. The album is the follow-up to 2008's Gossip in the Grain, which debuted in the Top Five on the Billboard charts; garnered two 2010 Grammy nominations; earned LaMontagne a coveted slot performing on Saturday Night Live; and continued the expansion of a highly-respected career that began with his first album, Trouble, in 2004.
The line-up of the Pariah Dogs, and their alliance with LaMontagne, is already well-proven and familiar. These musicians—Eric Heywood and Greg Leisz on guitars, Jennifer Condos on bass, and Jay Bellerose on drums—have been working as the singer's touring band for the last few years, and developing into a tight-knit team. Though he had thought about trying to get all of these busy session players together in the studio before, only now did time and circumstance align and make it possible.
For one thing, there was a new work set-up that LaMontagne was excited about. "I just bought this old estate in western Massachusetts that belonged to the first US ambassador to Russia," he says. "There's this beautiful, enormous room in the barn, and I felt like it would make a great recording space."
"It was an unknown space and an unknown situation, but it all worked," says drummer Bellerose. "It was one of the easiest sessions I've ever done—the songs just played themselves. We were scheduled to record for two weeks, but we were done tracking in five or six days."
The last song on God Willin', "The Devil's in the Jukebox," was the first thing that the group recorded. Bellerose notes that this simple, bluesy track set a tone for the sessions. "It was kind of a springboard," he says. "It loosened everybody up, gave us a chance to breathe."
"That's one of those songs I tend to write that is so damn linear, it's up to us to make it interesting," says LaMontagne with a laugh. "If you take it apart, there's not a lot happening. But the way these guys approach songs is always surprising. Where they take the melody, the interplay between the rhythm section—who knows what they're going to come up with?"
Guitarist Heyward says that the singer "made a decision beforehand to trust the band, and he really stuck to that." He points to the album's title track as an example of the way these sessions allowed each song to find its own path. Heyward and Leisz both play pedal steel, and they looked to LaMontagne to determine the arrangements and instrumentation.
"On that one, he said, 'How about two pedal steels?," Heyward recalls. "And then Jay started doing this bombastic, artillery-style drum thing. The song reads as a letter, with no chorus or bridge, so the whole thing was the most surprising track for me, and definitely one of my favorites. And Ray's vocal performance is amazing."
Ray LaMontagne has one of the remarkable stories in music's past decade. Since leaving his job in a Maine shoe factory to pursue his calling as a musician, he has released three studio albums and two live EPs, won awards and topped critics' polls internationally, and established himself as one of the most distinctive talents of his generation. His songs have been featured in numerous films and television shows, including multiple performances of his compositions on American Idol.
Yet he maintains that, until God Willin', all of these accomplishments have come despite his own struggles in the recording studio. "The process has always been laborious, it's been difficult for me to get any momentum," he says. "I always felt like I was swimming upstream."
But this time, things were different. "Ray was really in his comfort zone," says Bellerose. "He was home with family, he's really relaxed around this band—there was never a moment that felt uncomfortable. I think he's just having a lot more fun communicating with more people, and getting out of being on his own as a singer/songwriter."
LaMontagne claims that he didn't specifically set out to write songs for this group of musicians, though he certainly had its sound in his mind. Regardless of the outcome, he says that his process didn't—and can't ever—change.
"For me, songs just have to happen, they have to come out of nowhere," he says. "Otherwise it sounds like you're trying to write a song, and I can spot that a mile away—and I think listeners can, too.
"I won't ever sit down and write unless something is knocking at the door. I can go months without writing a song—and that's when it gets scary, when you feel like you're never going to write another song because they're just not coming around."
LaMontagne's steady output, however, indicates that there's little cause for concern. And for God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise, in addition to his own extraordinary writing, these ten songs had the benefit of contributions from an exceptional bunch of musicians, collaborating under ideal conditions. Even the notoriously self-critical LaMontagne can't hide his delight at the results.
"A song like 'New York City's Killing Me,' is so melodramatic, it could just be rote or trite," he says. "But they started playing it and on the second or third take, I found myself thinking that something really beautiful was happening.
"These guys are all so good, and I trust their instincts so much, I just wanted to write songs that I felt would excite them," concludes LaMontagne "There was a certain amount of pressure, because they're so much more accomplished than I am as a musician. But I knew that if I could pull together a batch of songs I was happy with, there was really no risk involved."
Around the time she began getting serious about making music, Brandi Carlile would travel to Seattle's Benaroya Hall for concerts, including solo performances by Dave Matthews and Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. "I watched them," she recalls, "and I wondered what it would be like to stand on that beautiful stage."
Now she knows. The release of Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony marks the realization of two dreams for the acclaimed singer/songwriter: "We got to work with a world class symphony and record in this legendary venue in our hometown. The hall has such great acoustics, you can hear someone zip up their coat."
The stunning set features Carlile and her band running through a beautifully vibrant collection of her best-loved originals, including "Dreams" and "The Story," as well as a number of cover songs she has come to make her own. In addition to a 30-piece orchestra, she's joined by her stellar, longtime band featuring guitarist Tim Hanseroth and bassist Phil Hanseroth (collectively known as "The Twins"), cellist Josh Neumann and drummer Allison Miller.
"A live album is something we always wanted to do," says Carlile, winner of Seattle's City of Music Breakthrough Award in 2010. "We wanted three studio albums and then a live record since we, above all things, consider ourselves a live act. Performing is the cornerstone of our career."
As Carlile's fans well know, her concerts are near legendary in their perfect communion between performer and audience. Whether she is rocking out with her full band or standing quietly, tantalizingly close to the edge of the stage singing a capella, Carlile brings a riveting intensity to her shows. "The Symphony is here and they add so much to it," she says of Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony, "but as far as the emotion, it's the same as any other show."
The thirteen selections (including a secret hidden track) for Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony come from Carlile's two sold-out November 2010 performances at the prestigious venue. "Almost the
whole recording is the first night," she confesses. "We played a rock club in between the two shows and with all the Ramones covers we blew out our voices. The second night was fine, but the first night shined with
The album opens with a cover of Elton John's "Sixty Years On" from his 1970 self-titled album. The song serves as an homage to one of Carlile's musical heroes (much to her delight, John appeared with Carlile on "Caroline" on her 2009 Rick Rubin-produced album, Give Up The Ghost). "I loved Elton John, Madman Across the Water and Tumbleweed Connection. They were such collaborative efforts. The song is a nod to
what first inspired me to start playing with symphonies and being able to conceptualize orchestrated music," Carlile says.
To bring it full circle, Live at Benaroya Hall with the Seattle Symphony features arrangements from John's legendary arranger Paul Buckmaster, including his original arrangement for "Sixty Years On." Sean O'Loughlin, renowned for his work with Chris Isaak and Belle & Sebastian, contributed arrangements as well.
After her first orchestra performance in 2008 (at Benaroya Hall, coincidentally), Carlile, who was named one of Rolling Stone's "10 Artists to Watch in 2005," knew a live album with a full orchestra was a foregone
conclusion. "Before we started working with the symphonies, we'd thought about all different kinds of live albums like [Sarah McLachlan's] Mirrorball, where we'd record the whole tour and take our favorite songs, or a live album that we'd record at a famous venue like Massey Hall. There has to be some kind of cohesiveness. But after our very first symphony experience there was no discussion."
Carlile's memories of the Benaroya shows are as crystalline as her radiant voice. "On 'Dreams,' the crowd was so raucous, there were a few seconds I couldn't even hear our band over the symphony. A bunch
of them were standing up and clapping. Everyone in the room just had a good time."
The record includes Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," a song that remains as sacred and transformative to Carlile today as it did when she first heard Jeff Buckley's version years ago. With the muted strings, Carlile's cover is breathtakingly transcendent. "Usually when I'm performing, I'm interacting with the band and interacting with the audience," she says, "but for some reason, when I sing 'Hallelujah,' I'm kind of witnessing it from another place when it's happening. I can hear what's
going down. The strings on this version are transporting."
While it seems incredible, Carlile was so in the moment, she didn't remember she was being recorded. "When you're standing in front of 3,000 people, you'd be amazed what you forget," she laughs. "Before the show we were asked to adjust the lighting for a few songs to allow for photos for the album packaging and we said, 'No,no,no. The show is all that matters.' The ironic thing is if you believe nothing matters more than the show, that will translate in an unspeakable way on the recording."
Indeed, anyone who's ever attended one of Carlile's shows will recognize the magic captured within. Unlike many albums that claim to be "live" but are full of studio fixes, "Live at Benaroya Hall" is pure, unadulterated Brandi. "We did some really, really minor things in post-production, mostly volume stuff like we'd decide the symphony needs to be louder or we wanted to turn up the violas," Carlile says. "But anyone who was there would tell you this is exactly how it sounded."
Twangy indie folk sweetheart Dawn Landes landed in New York City in 2000 from Louisville, Kentucky. Starting off working as an audio engineer for the likes of Philip Glass, Ryan Adams, and Joseph Arthur, Dawn recently co-founded Saltlands, a studio in Brooklyn where she now produces and records bands. In 2004 Dawn released her first solo record, earning her gigs with Feist, Andrew Bird, and Jose Gonzalez. She has since toured the world with her band The Hounds (Ray Rizzo on drums, Josh Kaufman on guitar) playing alongside contemporaries like Alexi Murdoch, Elvis Perkins and Midlake. Dawn's music can frequently be heard on TV series, commercials and film soundtracks. Her latest LP Sweet Heart Rodeo was released to wide acclaim in early 2010.
"I guess you could say each song is like its own bull," the twenty-eight-year-old deadpans, "each ride its own love-story…you know, trying to hang on to a wild thing isn't always graceful." Her feminist approach proved problematic when it came to turning up images of feisty cowgirls for the artwork. "There aren't many female bull riders," she admits. And with good reason. "I went to a few rodeos as research. They don't stay on those things very long."
Though she grew up in Louisville her perfect variations on country and folk music have all been recorded in her adopted hometown of Brooklyn. The culture clash of urban and rural traditions is an intriguing base for Landes' material and audience. She spent most of 2008 touring with a variety of country/folk and indie-rock stalwarts like The Tindersticks, Midlake, Josh Ritter, Jason Isbell (of the Drive by Truckers), Alexi Murdoch and the Swell Season, to name a few. And though she might recognize kindred spirits in contemporaries like Conor Oberst and Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Landes is blessed with a voice as pure and ringing as any folk or country diva.
The voice has always been there, but it's taken a while to be heard. Her first self-released records, simply called Dawn's Music and the EP two three four effectively proved her talent, but it was 2008's acclaimed Fireproof that revealed it to the world. Around that time her splendid bluegrass cover of Peter Bjorn and John's instant classic "Young Folks," performed with an elderly group of Texans called The WST Band ("It stands for 'we sorta tried'"), became a YouTube favorite. "Straight Lines," one of her best-known songs, sound-tracked in adverts on both sides of the Atlantic. Here it accompanied a cute campaign to encourage urban cycling. There it promoted Axe, the local equivalent of Lynx and the preferred perfume of adolescent males. Its writer was bemused. "The same song was used to promote bicycling in a childlike way and men's deodorant in a sexual way. What does that mean?" she once pondered. For a while she lived in France, learning to love Gainsbourg, Brassens and Francoise Hardy, and spent her time in Paris at the most unlikely joints. "I found myself in a lot of situations I wouldn't have been invited to otherwise," she says, "I played a lot of parties, fashion parties, one in a hotel where there was a bubble bath filled with champagne!" As you can imagine this is a world she doesn't usually inhabit.
Since her last release, Landes (her surname has two syllables) has finished fitting out her own studio, Saltlands in Brooklyn. "I actually built it! Some friends and I put up the walls and floated the floors," she declares proudly, christening it with the recording of Sweet Heart Rodeo. Again working with regular collaborator, drummer and all-rounder Ray Rizzo, her recording outfit was completed by guitarist Josh Kaufman and bassist Annie Nero, a couple (of musicians) that she met on the road. A cover of Kaufman's composition, the charming, gentle "Dance Area" fits perfectly alongside Landes' own material.
"Sweet Heart Rodeo" is packed with fine tunes, again beautifully sung. The opener "Young Girl" ponders gender stereotyping—competitive boys, jealous girls—over a reductive and distorted keyboard riff. The deceptively cutting "Romeo" berates a certain someone who ruined one of Landes' birthdays by standing her up. No wonder she borrows a hook from "16 Tons," Tennessee Ernie Ford's fifties nugget of resignation. The haunting 'Money In The Bank' marries down-home hippie wisdom ('the night before you die, what are you gonna buy?') to a glorious chorus bolstered by a wistful French horn. Dawn even drums on an unlikely cover of Margo Guryan's already unlikely "Love," a 1968 collision of cool jazz and nascent psychedelia. "She's amazing, one of these unsung geniuses like Vashti Bunyan was, who made one fabulous record then disappeared," she says of the woman behind the lost classic "Take A Picture."
Rizzo's idiosyncratic harmonica style ("kinda cloudy—the opposite of ethereal") boosts the quirky "Wandering Eye," a rare song that combines sex and travel without causing offence, while "Little Miss Holiday" imagines a conversation between Jodie Foster and the teenage hooker that inspired her character in Scorsese's unhinged "Taxi Driver." It's tender rather than bleak. "Brighton" is a tribute to a magical day in that great Southern (English) town, yet it could hardly sound more American, Appalachian even. "I hope I captured it in the song," she says. By the album's conclusion, the wobbly wedding march of "All Dressed In White," you'll probably be thinking of giving love a try. Even if it does hurt when you fall off.

I have loved everything else I've read from this author so I was surprised by this. I know it is several short stories but they were very disjointed, & unfortunately, many seemed to lack a point. Why would I want to read them? I couldn't relate to the characters & didn't really care about them. Writing itself was good, but not enough.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Watch – You Won't Believe These Sculptures Are Real [Video]
You know how when you wave your hand in front of a strobe light it makes it look like it's moving weird? These sculptures use a similar idea - they're rotated on their bases and then a camera shutter set to a certain speed makes them look like they're undulating and morphing, even though they're solid sculptures. It's pretty amazing, check it out:

The surface pro stylus works for our tablet. The button works to bring up air command and the top serves as an eraser (so you don't have to tap on the erase icon) it's nifty.
It's also a lot larger and easier to write with.

Great Shoes
My son loves running around in his squeeky shoes. These are his number one pick out of all his shoes in the closet. They are good for keeping up with where your child is. The leather is very soft and flexible, which was a important factor in my picking these shoes. Love these shoes.Read More
his shoes
will puchase again for other babies as they come alongRead More
Just wonderful! Fits well and material is so soft.Read More
Love love love these shoes and the fact they squeak when he walks. The only complete was the glue on the bottom was a little extra. But, I notice everything. The shoes will go perfect with his Easter Outfit!Read More
Warning - just ordered these shoes, they are NOT LEATHER, they are leather lined, but the upper part of the shoe is man-made plastic. Ordered them for our little boy and after a couple of days of wearing them they are scuffed and you can clearly see the plastic-fabric coming through the scuffs. Disapointing.Read More
I just received these shoes for my Grandson and they are adorable. The look on his face when he walked and they squeeked was priceless. He was measured at Stride Rite for a 4.5 and that is what I ordered and they fit perfect. They are made of a very nice leather which is soft and fits his little feet very well. He is one year old and started walking a couple months ago and had no problem from the moment they were put on. I loved them so much, I just ordered a larger size as well. Great price for a great little shoe!! And they are so cute.Read More
fun shoes
The kid LOVED these shoes. The squeaker made him squeal and giggle and stomp around on them. Then the squeaker got on my nerves so I popped it out and had a decent looking pair of shoes. I do not think the shoes are leather though. Which is disappointing. They seem to be nicely made, but I think they are plastic. I could not find anything on the box or shoes to say that they are leather, and it just does not look like they are.Read More
very cute squeekers
These shoes are so cute, they fit just right. My granddaughter loves them, she walks around and they squeak and she runs with them to make them squeak more. It is so cute to watch her in these cute shoes. I recommend them highly to all of you who have small new walking children. They are a comfortable shoe, leather, good grip on bottom fit very well, and hold on very well.Read More
Squeakie shoes
Does he like them? Hmmm. let me see. I'd say a resounding 'yes' as he cries when his mom takes them off to put jammies on. He just walks and walk, and stops once in awhile to clap his hands.Read More

Shopping Guides
Best Shoes for Toddlers Learning to Walk
With so many cute baby shoes available, you might be wondering which are the best for toddlers learning to walk. Toddlers need shoes that will support their feet and help them balance as they learn to walk and run, so it is important to choose the right shoes for your little one. Our tips will help you select quality baby shoes that will keep your toddler on her feet and meeting her developmental milestones.
Best Baby Bracelets by Age
Dressing your baby in fun clothes and fashionable accessories is one of the exciting things about being a parent. If you love giving your baby or toddler a fashionable look, consider purchasing baby jewelry. Children's bracelets are sweet and special and can be worn by a baby of any age. Baby bracelets also make fun baby gifts for infants and toddlers alike. When shopping for children's jewelry, it is important to consider the age of the child in order to select the right pieces. Use our guide to buy baby bracelets for the special child in your life.
Best Reasons to Choose a Baby Diaper Backpack
Babies and children require a plethora of baby gear for their care, and staying fully equipped while out and about with an infant or toddler will keep travel activities fun and easy. If you want a unique diaper bag solution, consider a baby backpack. Backpack diaper bags are fabulous for busy parents because they organize all of your little one's necessities and keep your hands free for cuddling and feeding. Baby backpacks are available with a variety of features and style choices, so you can have the diaper bag that will be perfect for your lifestyle. Consider the benefits of a backpack diaper bag when shopping for a baby bag.
Best Gifts for Baby Boys
Shopping for baby gifts is fun and exciting. Finding a fun, useful or educational gift for a baby boy is a great way to celebrate his birth or any occasion. By keeping the baby's age and his parents' lifestyle in mind when picking a baby gift, you can find something that will delight, impress and become a treasure. Whether you are shopping for a baby boy gift to take to a baby shower or a gift that will be perfect for his first birthday, we can help you select the best baby gift with our tips. Activity. Play mats such as gym mats and tummy time mats are great gifts for baby boys. Play mats help babies develop motor skills, strengthen their muscles and they can also entertain little one's while parents take a break. Active baby boys love kicking and playing with gym mat toys and tummy time mats will entertain any baby while he is developing strong muscle coordination. In addition to play mats, music CDs, educational DVDs and baby books are great activity-based gift options. Age-appropriate toys such as trains, cars, stuffed toys and balls never go out of fashion and give babies opportunities to develop their motor skills. A play yard also makes a great baby boy gift. Play yards offer a safe place for babies to explore their environment. Nursery. You can help dress a baby boy's nursery with decor gifts. Crib bedding, hampers, crib toys, musical mobiles, window treatments, stuffed toys, rugs and other accessories will add to a baby boy's nursery. Check with parents to find out their planned nursery theme before buying or choose neutral decor items. Large nursery items such as baby swings, rockers, bouncy seats and walkers are great gifts and will be very useful for the parents. Meal time. Babies need so many accessories to get them through the day. Feeding accessories make very useful baby boy gifts. Cheerful dish sets and baby bibs with witty lines are gifts that make meal times memorable for a baby boy and his parents. If you have a generous budget, consider larger items such as high chairs, baby booster seats and travel seats. Clothes and accessories. A baby can never have too many outfits. Consider the time of year and local climate and choose clothes and accessories that fit the seasons. Undershirts, pajamas, sleepers, shorts, T-shirts, pants and pairs of jeans are safe bets for baby boys. Hats, jackets, socks, shoes and mittens make useful gifts as well. If you are shopping for a newborn, consider purchasing clothing that is perfect for older babies. As long as you keep the seasons in mind, you can purchase a clothing gift that will be useful once the baby grows out of his adorable infant outfits.

Making Infant Car Seats Comfortable
Every newborn needs an infant car seat. They're designed to keep your baby safe in the car, but you also want to make sure your infant is comfortable. While you never want to adjust your baby car seat from its recommended position, or your baby's position within the car seat, there are many things you can do to give your little one a more comfortable ride. These tips can help you keep your baby comfortable, warm, and happy while in the car.
Stroller Buying Guide
Choosing your baby stroller comes down to your baby's comfort and your lifestyle. There are a few features that any safe stroller should have: a wide wheel base for stability, safety straps to hold your baby in place, and maneuverable wheels. Beyond that, you should determine what you need your stroller to do and where you need it to go. Do you want a baby stroller that will let you go for a jog or one that you can take shopping? Are you looking for a stroller you can take traveling or would you just like to easily take walks around the neighborhood? If you're planning on having more than one child, you may want a stroller that can hold a baby and a toddler at the same time. Luckily, there are plenty of styles of strollers to choose from to fit your lifestyle.
How to Baby-Proof Your House
According to the Home Safety Council, babies and toddlers are most at risk of accidental at-home injuries, which kill more than 2,000 American children each year and hurt at least three million others. The newborn you bring home from the hospital will be crawling and walking before you know it, so it's a good idea to start baby-proofing your home before your baby arrives.
Best Educational Toys for Children under Two
Babies and toddlers are filled with curiosity and are ready to learn about the world. Toys help little ones develop problem solving and motor skills, all while allowing their imaginations to soar. The best baby toys require children to use more than one sense at a time; new sounds and textures will encourage children to explore the world around them. Be creative; many ordinary household items can be the best kind of learning toys.
How to Use a Baby Sling
A baby sling offers many advantages. Baby slings, unlike strollers or back carriers, allow your baby to be face-to-face with you, which encourages conversation between you and your baby. They are extremely versatile and can be used to carry all different ages of babies, from newborns to toddlers. Baby carriers and slings come in many shapes, sizes and styles, but they are all excellent ways to carry and connect with your baby.
Best Reasons to Choose a Convertible Crib
Convertible cribs are great for parents who want to make their baby's bed a worthwhile investment. Convertible cribs offer a quality crib for newborns and infants, then transform into a toddler bed, day bed or adult bed as a child grows. Some convertible cribs will include all of the pieces and hardware necessary to make the conversion. Other convertible cribs might require a consumer to order additional pieces when it is time to convert the crib, but many parents will find that a convertible baby crib saves them time and money either way. Convertible cribs are typically more expensive than non-convertible baby furniture, but there are many reasons to choose them over traditional baby beds.
How to Compare Baby Mattresses
A high-quality, safe baby mattress is an important piece of baby furniture for your infant's nursery. Once you have purchased the crib and other baby furniture and accessories, you are ready to find the right baby mattress for your child. Take the time to compare different mattresses and choose the one that is the safest and healthiest for your baby.
Newborn Clothing Checklist
As you await the birth of your little bundle of joy, have fun shopping for all of the essential baby clothing. Shopping for baby clothes can be one of the most enjoyable experiences of planning for your baby, especially if you create your own newborn clothing checklist before you start shopping. This will ensure that you have everything your baby needs to be welcomed comfortably into your home. These are the key items you'll want to add to your list.
Baby Travel System Safety Fact Sheet
Infants require a lot of baby items in the early months of their life, and one of the biggest baby purchases you will make as a new parent is the baby travel system. Baby car seat travel systems consist of a car seat, base and a stroller in one unit. Travel systems make baby travel easy, whether you are driving, shopping at the mall or eating at a restaurant. When shopping for and using a baby travel system, it is important to remember and practice child safety. Use our baby safety tips to keep your little one secure and comfortable while using his travel system.
How to Buy a Baby Blanket
Shopping for baby items is fun and exciting. There are many choices in every category, and selecting baby gifts and baby items for your child's nursery takes some careful consideration. One of the most important baby purchases you'll make is baby bedding. When you are buying baby blankets, there are many factors to consider. Whether you are choosing a blanket to give as a baby gift or a baby blanket to wrap your infant in, it is a good idea to think about style, texture, convenience, material, size and shape. Allow us to highlight a few of the important categories so you can select baby bedding with confidence.
Top 5 Benefits of Baby Carriers
A recent trend in attachment parenting has left a new wave of parents considering the benefits of closeness and all-natural parenting techniques. Regardless of your parenting style and lifestyle choices, baby backpacks and carriers offer many benefits to both you and your child. Baby carriers such as baby slings, baby wraps and infant carriers are hands-free, and each can sooth your baby with closeness and gentle movement. Other baby gear, such as baby backpacks, is perfect for older children and can keep your mischievous toddler safe and entertained. Consider our list of the top five benefits when shopping for baby carriers, slings and other baby gear.

With the arrival of your new baby drawing closer, you'll want to do everything you can to prepare, including furnishing and decorating the baby nursery. A baby nursery that is filled with all the right touches will give your infant a bright and beautiful place to start life. The wall decor can set the mood for the entire room, so start with art and decorations that are fun, interesting, unique and special. Wall art appliques. Removable wall decor appliques and decals offer some of the best ideas for a baby's room. Printed plastic and vinyl wall decals come in a variety of colors and designs. Opt for a themed collection of wall art images and create your own mural, which you can easily rearrange or remove as your child grows and you want to change the room. There are also decals that display words or phrases, such as well-known lines from nursery rhymes, prayers or beloved children's books. These look especially precious when posted on the wall above a baby's crib or cradle and can set the theme for the whole room. Framed art. As in any room, framed art can be the best way to add interest and beauty to nursery walls. Art is always personal, so choose a piece or grouping that speaks to you and your family. A lovely print of a mother and child or a toddler with a stuffed toy might move you, or you may prefer something whimsical and bright. If you have not yet settled on a theme or color for your baby's room, the perfect piece of framed art could be your best inspiration. Quilts. You have probably contemplated in great detail, if not already selected, the bedding for your baby's room. What you might not have considered is using a pretty quilt to decorate the wall. Quilts make lovely wall hangings and, with elaborate patterns and multicolor pieces, they let you tie together several colors in the room. Find a large quilt that harmonizes with your nursery decor or arrange several smaller ones in a delightful wall grouping. Letters. It has long been popular to decorate a nursery with letters. Spell out your little one's name with lovely, polished silver letters hanging from ribbons above the crib or use bright, colorful letters to showcase the alphabet or your little one's initials. You can add letters to your child's nursery in a variety of ways, from hand-painting them right onto the wall to utilizing lovely lettered wallpaper.

How to Choose an Infant Car Seat
Keeping your baby safe in the car is important, and an infant car seat is the best thing you can buy to ensure your little one is safe on the road. With so many car seats, it can be hard to know which type of car seat is best for your family and which infant car seat models will meet your needs. The following tips will guide you through how to choose an infant car seat, so you can feel confident you're purchasing the best infant car seat for your baby.
FAQs about Baby Swings
You want all the best for your baby, and baby swings can provide your little one with comfort, safety and entertainment in your home. Baby swings are often a favorite piece of baby gear for both parents and babies because they calm fussy infants and give Mom and Dad some hands-free time. Finding the right swing for you and your baby can be difficult, however. Read on for answers to many common questions parents ask when they're shopping for baby swings.
Best Baby Gifts for a Newborn
Newborn gifts range from the useful and practical to the whimsical and luxurious. When selecting a baby gift for a newborn, you may be wondering how to choose something unique that won't be like all the other presents at a baby shower. To find the best newborn baby gift, consider what you know about the baby and the lifestyle of the parents and consider gifts that the parents truly want. Toys. Baby toys always make good gifts for newborns. Even if the toys won't be played with right away, parents can use them to provide stimulatory experiences and items such as rattles, stuffed animals, soft blocks and musical mobiles all provide the developing baby with learning opportunities. Books. Children can never have too many books. Reading to and with a little one can help them develop language skills and imaginative qualities. Many parents start reading to baby from day one and find that it is a valuable bonding experience. Any baby book with a simple, clean layout, contrasting visuals and short, straightforward text makes a good choice. Look for touch-and-feel books, pop-up books and books with mirrors, which are all fun for babies. Blankets. Keep baby warm and comfortable with a soft blanket. A luxury blanket made of cashmere or silk can be a nice change from other gifts and will probably become a family treasure. Blankets that have been embroidered with the baby's name or initials are also a unique newborn baby gift. Baby blankets that have been folded into the shape of a cake or other decorative item are fun to give on their own or as part of a gift basket. Larger items. Many parents find that they simply can't afford to purchase all of the baby gear that they really want. If you are looking for a newborn baby gift that will impress, then you might consider purchasing a larger item, such as a swing, a rocking chair or a video baby monitor. Surprise the mom-to-be in your group of friends with something she has been wanting by gifting something expensive with several other people.

How to Shop for Clearance Crib Bedding
Having a baby baby is an expensive venture, but a few things, like clearance crib bedding, can make preparing for your new baby easier on your wallet. Newborns need many items, from clothing to furniture. Purchasing baby bedding and accessories such as crib sets can add up quickly. When you're shopping for crib bedding sets, consider clearance crib bedding. Clearance crib bedding can help you decorate your baby's nursery with stylish baby bedding without breaking your budget. Welcome your little one in style with clearance baby bedding or surprise an expecting friend with beautiful crib bedding and still have money to spoil the baby once he arrives.

Feb 29
NEW DOOR OPENING ON THE HORIZON! Royel Urban is chosen to participate in the Urban Music Explosion Showcase hosted by Urban Threshold Inc. on 2/29/12. Time: 8:00 PM Location: Sullivan Hall, 214 Sullivan Street, Between Bleeker and West 3rd St. THE OPPORTUNITY Participants are competing to win a live studio interview on THISIS50 Radio which will be featured on the home page of THISIS50.COM! FEEDBACK Royel was chosen via Artist submission. He received a great review! "Our Talent Scout staff has given the evaluation rating 8 1/2 out of possible 10. We feel the music is very industry standard. We were impressed with his writing skills, lyrical skills, cadence, delivery, rapping skills, production and flow of each song. We were particularly impressed with song "I Feel Good". Of the five songs included in his EPK, Royel's single "Congratulations" stood out. When asked about this event and the opportunity at hand, Royel wanted to share this with his supporters and fellow Artists: As a young father and struggling indie artist from Cleveland Ohio without the strong financial backing to support my dream, when finding out I was invited to perform at The Urban Music Explosion Showcase, I scraped up whatever I could to get me on the first bus to NYC. Any opportunity to put my heart out on a stage and compete for a chance to further my career and open doors, I take seriously and look at as an opportunity to allow another demographic the chance to share the moment with me and become supporters to my movement. ABOUT ROYEL URBAN Royel is known for performing in local clubs and college campuses around Ohio, Connecticut, and the New York area. Those having the luxury of watching Royel perform, witness immediately that he is at home on any stage. Many have said that Royel's lyrics have an extravagant, witty and cocky swagger, that only legends possess. Also mentioned is his ability to deliver life experiences in a way that draws listeners in. You will find his lyrics uplifting, wordy, with great punch lines. Royel's catchy radio-sounding vocal hooks, hard-hitting, yet smooth beats, make him a rare breed. He has definitely raised the bar for those who classify themselves as "just lyricists" or "just club" Artists. Currently, Royel has just released a video for his single "Congratulations" to add compliment to his strong track, which exhibits a well deserved foothold in the Hip-Hop Genre. He is also getting ready to put the finishing touches on the official launch for his next single, "October Sky", a Pop track. Both songs show his broad range and celebrate succeeding, leaving you with a feeling of being on top of the world. As an Music Artist, Royel has the opportunity to leverage the Independent Music Business as a playing field to experiment with his creativity in the journey to finding his true path.

Our attic fan has stopped working-- I got the model # and contacted the manufacturer, who suggested wiring the fan directly to the house power (leaving out the thermostat) to see whether it's the motor or the thermostat that needs replacing. They also gave me the part numbers for ordering a replacement motor and/or thermostat. My question: is this a reasonable "do it yourself" fix, or a job for a pro? I am very capable of following instructions carefully and have done some very basic wiring (putting in a dimmer switch, etc)-- but I also know that some things are better left to others. For instance I understand that some motors have capacitors that carry a charge that must be drained before working on them and am not sure if this fan has one or not. If it's a job for a pro, would I save any $$ by ordering the parts myself? Thanks!

As far a complexity, it's not a difficult job. Depending on the location, you might find it difficult. For example, if you have to climb onto the roof - depending on the roof, it could be difficult and/or dangerous.
Or your attic might be difficult to work in.
I installed my own, and chances are you could too.

I believe a new fan with thermostat is around $80....might save the hassle and just replace the unit rather than play around with troubleshooting the defective component....but from experience (replacing these for customers) it is usually the thermostat that goes...they are pretty cheaply made [as in cheap quality].

Super Bowl shows yet again, not everyone can be a winner
Although there were some great commercials that aired during the 2013 Super Bowl, I would like to shine light on what may not ever be discussed in the living rooms throughout the world. The fact is, one Harbaugh won and one Harbaugh lost.
Yes – having brothers Jim and John Harbaugh battle it out on the gridiron with teams of highly-paid, talented, grown men made for a great week of personal interest stories at every turn. We were able to catch a glimpse of the entire Harbaugh family as they allowed us into their lives.
Even Jim's and John's parents conveyed how they felt having their boys duke it out in the biggest game of the year. The father, Jack, plainly said it was one of the toughest games he ever had to watch because he knew one of his sons had to lose. And Mrs. Harbaugh confessed she would really rather have it end in a tie … the quintessential "mom" response.
But in the end, after days of preparation, a hard-fought game and a history-making power outage, when the time ran out there was one winner and one loser – and that's okay.
When the brothers approached their middle-of-the-field congratulatory handshake, with every step, John agonized over shaking the hand of his brother, who lost. It was tough for both of them, but they handled it well and exchanged brotherly sentiments. The Ravens ran around on the field celebrating their victory while the 49ers hung their heads in defeat. And this is how a contest ends – with winners and losers. Not everyone left feeling great. Not everyone left with a trophy. Not everyone left with a dazzling ring. Not everyone left a winner. Somewhere along the way, the rest of the nation needs to re-adopt the "winning" and "losing" mentality.
Everyone is not a winner; there is no level playing field and hard work and determination will sometimes leave you just short of the goal line. But it's still okay. Every one of us needs to learn how to lose as well as win. Where is the sweet taste of victory if there are no losers?
I can't tell you how many times I've sat on a selection committee that was supposed to pick a winner, but instead the rest of the committee would say, "Let's give everyone an award; they all deserve it." Or, the number of soccer games I've watched as little children ran their legs off only to find out – everyone wins. Yay!
Do you really think if Jim Harbaugh's 49ers had won, he would have wanted to share his Super Bowl trophy with his brother, John? No. They both wanted to win, but neither one of them would be willing to share the trophy, brothers or no.
In our "let's not keep score" world of everyone wins, everyone gets a trophy and there are no losers, I'd like to thank the NFL and the entire sports world for continuing to harbor competition and rewarding only the winners. Like it or not, competition is a good thing. Winning is a great thing. But the agony of defeat is what will push us to strive for the thrill of victory.

This small electronic board is directly behind the timer assembly. It was originally suppose to "count" the spin turn speed, and if the washer was spinning too slowly it would shut off the washer = dumb idea! There were wires that went from this board down to a magnet switch mounted on the base of the transmission.
If this board fails, the washer can go "dead". This board is in series with the lid switch. This link here describes info on this board, where it was in the washer and how to by-pass it.
