Cheap small MP3 players with FM radio
I'm in need of a very inexpensive small MP3 player with built-in FM radio.
I'd like it to not have any raised knobs or buttons & I'd like it to have a display screen so I can see what's going to play.
I don't want any video capability because I need to give my whole attention to the ground & feet due to an imbalance problem.
Please do not try to sell me on Zune or iPod or anything else of comparable cost/bells & whistles. I will not look at/purchase such.
I just need something that has a great reputation for its cheap price; not breaking easily, sounding excellent, holding enough songs for three 1-hr workouts at the gym or walks around outdoor tracks ...
Thanks & happy holidays! :)
Sandisk 4GB w/FM

Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.buy.com/prod/sandisk-sansa-e260-4gb-mp3-player-fm-tuner-fm-on-the-fly-recording/q/loc/111/205537110.html
I have used RCA, Sandisk, iRiver and SonyÂs over the last 5 years.
I would recommend one of the iRiver MP3 players .... very simple drag and drop loading of songs ,,,,sound qualiy comparable to iPODÂs. Cheap on ebay. The 512mb memory will hold at least 90 songs and has FM. Comes with an armband usually. Uses one single AA battery ,,,,, simple power is the best power,,,, a spare AA is always somewhere to be found ,,,, I use the NiMH rechargables.
Avoid SonyÂs as their computer interface "bites" ,,,, loading them is a pain. Avoid any device with an actual hard drive ,,,, they are more prone to shock,,, and they will fail eventually. Ya I know there cool ,,,,, but a friends with a dead, but pretty iPod has turned me off those,,,,, nice if "value for your money" is not your main concern. The Sandisk I had won used a nice large screen, was simple, sounded great and was OK to load ÂÂ but it wasnÂt so good as to go to the trouble of installing and learning it to replace any of the 3 iRivers we run in this family.
One complaint with iRiver is they have lots of shared buttons ,,,,, so learning every feature is a bit cumbersome. I also use a Sony-Ericson phone/camera/mp3 player for music now ,,,,, combines devices for me ,,,,, great sound ,,,,, but the interface just "BITES" (I really mean it!).
Good luck,,,,,,KC
A friend just told me about three types she found on eBay, they're from Japan I guess & they look like iPod knock-offs.
I didn't see any names associated with them, but after shipping she paid around $50 or maybe it was less.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, does anyone know if these are good or bad?
woot.com has the refurbished 4GB sandisk for

Dana Blankenhorn | November 5, 2001 | Comments
Offline coupons drive them to online stores, online coupons drive them into offline stores. Leverage coupons correctly, and you could have a very merry Christmas indeed.
Please don't tell my son about this article.
A month or so ago, his milk jugs began featuring a "contest" called Cyber Loot. Game pieces were glued to the screw-top. Most were losers.
But one was a winner. It bore a complex number and instructions to cash in the prize at www.cyberloot.com. The "prize" was a $10 discount on a selection of Electronic Arts video games. My son loves "SimCoaster," and one game listed was "SimCity 3000." The final price, including shipping, came to about $25.
It all turned out to be a clever application of a trend you need to get in on, namely online coupons. It can make your Christmas. It's already made my son's.
An eMarketer online advertising report, released last week, showed how powerful coupons can be.
Online consumers said they cared mostly about return policies, customer service, and product selection. But coupons work, partly because only 41 percent of shoppers were satisfied with those customer service measurements when shopping online.
Online coupons represent only 10 percent of all coupons, but a very impressive 94 percent of online coupon users have shopped online before.
Scott Ferber, CEO of Advertising.com, recently sponsored a survey on online promotions, which also applied some numbers to this trend.
"About 25 percent of all respondents will buy online in some way, shape, or form," he said. "Of that 25 percent, 76 percent said promotions were a positive influence on their buying behavior. Some 50 percent said online coupons were especially persuasive."
Ferber offered some coupon guidelines based on his survey and his experience:
My son's milk jug is a good example of offline coupons that drive people to an online store. Ferber said he's seen great results from adding online coupons to the back of cash register tapes.
The system works in the opposite direction, too, asserts Ferber. This can help you save Christmas, even if your numbers aren't adding up on December 1. He suggests that you offer via email coupons that drive customers into your physical stores during the last weeks of the shopping season.
This takes some care. You need to have physical addresses or Zip Codes in your email database so that you can filter the recipients and not send customers coupons they can't redeem.
"Responsible subscriber management is critical to retaining customer loyalty," said Ferber. If people aren't responding to your email, you should drop them from your list, just as you'd drop them from a snail-mail list.
Use offline coupons now to drive online buying and online coupons later to drive offline buying. The method may make for a very merry Christmas and survival into the new year.

Great school year calendar magnets!
School Atmosphere School Calendar Magnets Our school has been purchasing the academic year magnet calendars for 18 years. The parents love them and have grown to expect them. It is a nice to have the calendar at your fingertips. Great quality and designs are endless.
The magnets were just what we wanted with all of our information listed.

We have been using magnetstreet magnets for a number of years and the design selection is wonderful. Parents comment on how great the magnets are and they hope we continue to offer them.

Excellent Calendar Magnet
School Activities School Calendar Magnets We were able to completely customize this magnet, even using our logo instead of a photo, and using our school mission in place of address information. We gave the magnets away at our registration in August, and everyone LOVED them! We were extremely pleased with every aspect of this project, from the product itself to the people we worked with at magnetStreet.

Window Woes somethings wrong with the way window came in or am I
I ordered a Trimline Custom Casement 37.5 x 37.5. ($500.00 at windowrama) to replace my old double awning window.
I'm going to call to tomorrow and hope for some feedback and reassurance that I'm being reasonable in my complaints.
Installation was actually the easy part - its in and perfectly square diagonals measure the same and its perfectly level.
1)It looks like some flange or something is missing from the outside. In the showroom all the windows had a nice finished trim on the outside. The sales man brought out the window and set it so we were looking at the inside. Which looks great When we got it turned over at home the old windows were already out so nothing to do but install it , I expected some parts to be with it screws, the out side trim ,instructions, something but only the handle came with it. Isn't there supposed to be something that slots in that track?
2) It didn't close even before we put it in - i thought it was b/c it wasn't sitting level on the floor. took the two hooks off that catch in the locking mechanism and it closed perfectly. marked the edges of the hook and saw they are installed too low to slide over the roller in the locking mechanism. The one was just slightly off and has been ground down so I can lock the window the other is about 1/2" off
3) one of the removal tabs came off the screen as soon as I pulled on it , not hard mind you i've had these screens before and know not to yank on them.
ANy advice will be appreciated!
On an aluminum clad exterior window that in the normal way for the frame to be. It has that channel to snap in accessories like different style trim pieces or mullion clips if 2 or more windows are to be attached. As far as any other issues with the window I have no idea what the problem would be from here but I would be on the phone to my supplier.
Thanks I have been and they sending someone out from windowrama to fix the screen and see why it won't close with the latches in place. If the window was made wrong then a trimline rep will come out.
Maybe that is how they come but why did every window I was shown look like the picture below more or less? If I was getting something different then the display model I should have been told. I asked " will my window look like this one from the outside?" We were told yes. If trim was available no problem but I was on the phone with the trimline rep who said they don't make trim to fit in that channel he said that installaters bend aluminum or get vinyl trim and rip it to fit in. I told the salesman before I ordered that my window was already capped and I didn't want to have to bend aluminum trim.
this is what I expected and what was in the showroom more or less: I'm getting really frustrated now
I cannot speak for the window you have posted this picture of nor for Trimline specifically but all the Aluminum Clad Wood Windows I have sold over the years had this channel and it was essentially an accessory channel. Why Trimline has nothing in the way of trim or accessories is beyond me as I never sold their products. On this picture I cannot tell if the channel is there and covered up or not. Again I would speak to the supplier.
Thanks for your reply and helpful info. It would have been fine with me if the accessory trim came seperate, at first I thought it was in the packaging, I just wanted what I was shown on the showroom floor. I figured some assembly was going to be required . I've spoken both to windowrama and the manufactorer rep and they tell me nothing is available from trimline. I'm trying to get some money off the window so I can purchase or have the trim made since its a custom size. . Do you know where I can purchase some trim that will fit ? Or any other ideas as how I can add the finishing trim?

The Two-Way
Report: Occupy Protests Have Cost Cities $13 Million
According to an AP survey of 18 cities with active Occupy protests, the movement has cost local municipalities $13 million in "police overtime and other municipal services."
"The AP gathered figures from government agencies in 18 cities with active protests and focused on costs through Nov. 15, the day protesters were evicted from New York City's Zuccotti Park, where the protests began Sept. 17 before spreading nationwide. The survey did not attempt to tally the price of all protests but provides a glimpse into costs to cities large and small.
"Broken down city by city, the numbers are more or less in line with the cost of policing major public events and emergencies. In Los Angeles, for example, the Michael Jackson memorial concert cost the city $1.4 million. And Atlanta spent several million dollars after a major snow and ice storm this year."
The cost-per-city varies widely: New York City has spent the most with $7 million. Oakland has spent $2.4 million; Atlanta about $652,000, whereas Washington, D.C. has spent about $1,000.
The bigger issue, reports the AP, is for cities facing deficits. Oakland for example was already trying close a $58 million budget gap this year. The mayor told the AP that the protests were already straining resources.
And here's what the Seattle mayor's office, which has spent some $626,000 and supported the protests, had to say:
"'These costs are currently being absorbed by the departments and may result in reduced service levels in other areas in the future,' said Julie Moore, a spokeswoman for Mayor Mike McGinn. She did not specify which public services might suffer."

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein on Sunday had a miraculous escape when the helicopter he was travelling had a rough landing.
He was returning to the capital in the morning after casting his vote in Johor in the south of the country. No one was hurt in the incident.
Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar said the helicopter Hishammuddin was travelling in had a rough landing, and landed on its side on the runaway at an Air Force base.
"No one was injured in the mishap but Hishammuddin was taken to a medical facility together with several passengers within the air force base for a check up. The private helicopter was overcome by strong winds during the landing which caused it to overturn," Omar said.
Hishammuddin, his wife, daughter and son-in-law were in the helicopter and were taken to a medical facility for a check up.
Malaysia is holding its 13th General Elections today.

When it comes to Easter eating, our family has favorites: Deviled eggs, baked ham, potato salad and Rice Krispies cereal treats are a must. However, we also like trying something new. We found ground lamb on sale and decided to try some curried lamb meatballs.
When it comes to pie, everyone has a favorite, from bright citrus key lime to the dark decadence of chocolate silk. There are fruit lovers who demand all pies have a double crust and go well with ice cream, and there are those who delight in creamy pudding mixed with coconut or bananas. Then there are the pumpkin lovers who argue a pie without a squash isn't a pie at all. Around our house we love them all, but there is one pie we love the best: the cheesecake.
Did you know that St. Patrick was an English missionary who shared the message of Christianity with the people of Ireland and that his color was actually blue? (See history.com and catholic.org.)

There were many who tried — the Babylonians around 1990 B.C., the Egyptians in 1650 B.C. and others — but it was a Greek mathematician, Archimedes, born in 287 B.C. in Italy, who figured out the closest value for pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, according to "A History of Π" on exploratorium.edu.

How would you prune this guy?
You can see how low on the plant the side branches come off the crown (terminology?). Some of them have their own roots.
From what I have seen here, the common practice is to knock off all the side branches and stay with the main / central stem. But there are so many of them!
There is, naturally, a complicating factor. There is a large split at the first (?) node of the main stem. The plant has been supporting the broken branch just fine, with the help of the brace, but it will have to come off. Seems to me that this will scar that stem node so I shouldn't rely on it.
Yeah, I plan to take off the branch (it still has some nice pods on it). The concern is more that the damaged node would compromise the main stem - an issue if the main stem would be the preferred survivor.
But you're recommending to keep all 11 "stems"? Might be worth a try.
Only one plant. The one non-pointed pod you see is leaning bottom away from you.
It's been declining for the past month or so, recent temps down in the upper 30s. There are still some growing tips and even flowers. It could be root bound, but there's an awful lot of dirt in that pot. I'll know in a couple days as the forecast for Sunday is mid-20s.
Hedge sounds interesting. Like "benching" a flowering rose. I'm just trying to project what the branch development would be like next spring, though. How much of it would be into the center of the plant, like a rose does with interlocking its canes. I suppose I could guide it..
It's a hedge of 4 plants.
I only wanted 1 but nobody came to pick up the 3 I sprouted for them.
I just can't kill a perfectly happy pepper plant.
Needs trimming again but I have too many pods on it now.
Purple flowers.
Pods :
Purple to white,to yellow,to orange then red.
SBS purple variegated ornamental.
Okay, here it is after the hack job and re-pot. I'm not happy with the pruning, but there are other plants to hack.
You can see that I left the new central branch still with a few pods on it. This may not be a pepper jungle plant (see nearby thread), but I still took nearly 200 pods off it this year - way more than I could every use.
Another view with flash.
I complained about the root development when I up-potted to the big one. That is still and issue. Contra smokemaster's suggestion, "rootbound" is exactly the wrong word for it. There seems to be a mat at the top 1.5" then fairly tight core down to about 8", but not much spread (although to be fair the outer inch or so was nasty dusty peat). The bottom was wetter than I expected - not PWT wet, but I'm starting to see the potential merit of a loose draining mix. I have something like that that I'm going to try in other peps. The little cubanelle is in about 60% 5:1:1 analog now (left the core in MGMC).
I used to get plants that had all their roots in the top 1/4 or so of the pot whenever I used soil with lots of sand in it.
Old peat seems to do the same thing as it breaks down.
forms a bottom layer that doesn't seem to let roots grow in it.
As the plant got watered the sand migrated down forming cement in the lower portion of the pot and the larger particles in the soil mix were on top.
For the heat we have here in the summer,unless I watered 2 times a day 5/1/1 was too fast of a soil mix.
Especiall in pots under #15(5-7gal.).
I ended up having to use a 5/2/2 mix.
I used 5 parts orchid bark/2 parts peat or 1 of peat and 1 old potting soil , 1 part pomice(for weight in the wind) and 1 part perlite or all pomice or all perlite.
Pomice alone isn't as good as perlite alone but a 50/50 mix seems ok so far.

No View for You
I sure hope this is a bug.
I have a Garumba Siege destroyer with one of the Klingon custom bridges. I noticed this when I first set up the ship that the bridge rendering does not have a view screen. Yesterday I went to my bridge again and still noticed, after a couple months, that nothing changed in the fact the Captain is staring at a bulkhead.
Techs, if this is a bug then please fix; if this was intentional then... please fix. :rolleyes:

by tattflash on 27 Mar at 14:27
The next instalment of UFC action comes from Fairfax, Virginia, USA on Saturday 4th April,(Sunday 1 am UK time) and sees two former title contenders facing off against each other. Both Chad Mendes and Ricardo Lamas are both the recent victims of Featherweight king Jose Aldo.

Rory McIlroy - Can he win the Masters in 2015 ?
by The rabbit on 24 Mar at 19:33
Rory McIlroy has just finished jt 11th in the Arnold Palmer Invitational which is his last tournament before he competes in the Masters in April. He has won once this year which was the Omega Dubai Desert Classic on the European tour. He is the World number one and has managed to win four Majors which are the U S Open in 2011, the PGA Championship in 2012 and 2014 and the Open Championship in 2014. The only Major that Rory has not won is the Masters so can he win at Augusta this year ? The Positives 1.

Race to the Stanley Cup playoffs - who will take the 8th seed in the East?
by Epic on 26 Mar at 18:55
With just over two weeks to go until the end of the NHL regular season, you can already feel the playoff atmosphere in certain games. Like LA Kings' defenseman Drew Doughty said this week - it's already playoffs for them. A lackluster first half of the season has left the defending Stanley Cup champs scrambling for a playoff berth. And they aren't alone. The Boston Bruins are another big club, which is struggling to make it to the playoffs. This after winning the Presidents Trophy last year for the best regular season record. The Bruins face a big battle to climb back to the Eastern Conference's Top 8. Even with poor form, the Bruins held on to the final playoff spot in the East for quite a while, but this week the Ottawa Senators finally grabbed it to themselves. A month..

League One & Two Preview - Gameweek 39
by bobslay13 on 26 Mar at 20:57
It's crunch time in the Football League and, with the International break suspending the top tiers, there's no better time for some added interest in Leagues One and Two. Some sides will be missing players to International call-ups but most will still be able to field their strongest line-ups. 8 games and 6 weeks to go I thought I'd give my best bets for each fixture this weekend. League One is starting to take some shape now after a few weeks of almost nothing between the mid-table sides there are now 14 points separating the bottom four and the top six. Sides are unlikely to be found completely complacent as good or bad runs of form could still easily drag them in to a relegation fight or push them into promotion contention but as the weeks go by the 'nothing to..
ATP Masters 1000 Miami
by undertherobe on 23 Mar at 20:50
Last week in Indian Wells saw it go to the form book with Novak Djokovic outlasting Roger Federer in the final to extend his lead at the top of the world rankings. Once again, we have an ATP 1000 event over the next week and a half, and this time we cross the United States onto the East Coast to take a look at the Miami Open which is the last hard court event on American soil until the ATP 250 in Atlanta at the end of July. History Between 1990 & 2004, this event was dominated by Americans with home players taking home 12 of the 15 tournaments played. Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Michael Chang, Pete Sampras and Andy Roddick all winning at least one event. Since that period of American dominance, only Andy Roddick in 2010 kept the trophy in..
A league table that could be over looked due to its status
by meoldmate on 23 Mar at 21:16
SPFL League Two Here is one league that, many members from South of the border would not really register with, unless the games are of interest when selecting on a football coupon. There are four teams heading for promotion from this league, three with a view of a play off and one Champion. The four teams teams that could be considered for the title are as follows. Stranraer Morton Forfar Brechin I suppose some membres would be of the thinking, who would be interested in this league and these teams. Possibly Scottish folk, who live in other parts of the British Isles and abroad and football fans, who take teams like these four and possibly others under their wing, just for interest. When I was a boy, I was fascinated with Stenhousemuir, possibly by the name and nothing else, as I could not tell you anything about them, I..

The animals have been put to work in the Northwest.
Portland, Ore. – Kathy Quigley has never had neighbors quite like the attention-getters that recently moved in at Southeast Belmont Street and 10th Avenue:
About 50 were brought in to clear weeds from a two-acre urban lot, drawing hundreds of passers-by to stop for a peek, offer a hand-picked weed or pet the animals through a chain-link fence.
"I think one of the things that struck me was how starved people are for nature," said Quigley, who lives a few blocks away. "And this is kind of like bringing nature to us."
Vancouver real estate agency Killian Pacific had Goat Rental NW of Damascus deliver the animals. The idea came from Brett Milligan, a landscape architect, who was hired by Killian to tend the lot.
"They've been out here two weeks," Milligan said. "I thought things would kind of die down in terms of public interest, but it hasn't at all."
Milligan liked the idea of avoiding gas-powered mowers. But because Killian would agree only if it didn't have to pay extra, Milligan offered to count the goats and refill their water buckets for free.
"I'm getting paid in personal satisfaction," Milligan said with a laugh. "I was very interested in alternative practices, things you could make happen in the city. "

A hybrid neural control scheme for visual-motor coordinationPublication Year: 1999 , Page(s): 34 - 41
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1060 KB)
Visual-motor coordination, also referred to as hand-eye coordination, in the context of robotics is the process of using visual information to control a robot manipulator to reach a target point in its workspace. The task requires learning the mapping that exists between camera output and desired end effector location. Biological organisms have demonstrated their superior adaptive capabilities in motion control over present-day robotic systems. Inspired by this fact, various neural network models based on biological systems have been developed for robot control tasks. The drawback of many neural schemes to tackle visual-motor control problems is that of a long training period. We suggest an approach using Kohonen's self-organizing scheme to learn this hand-eye coordination problem in reduced time with high accuracy. Our approach has also been compared with a conventional calibration-based algorithm. These schemes have been implemented in real time on a CRS PLUS robot arm. Experimental results show that the proposed neural scheme is on an average 10 times faster in training compared to similar neural approaches existing in the literature. This speed is also comparable to the conventional algorithm and is more accurate View full abstract»
Swing motion control of casting manipulationPublication Year: 1999 , Page(s): 56 - 64
Cited by: Papers (11)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1376 KB)
We begin by describing the process of casting manipulation and discussing the swing motion phase. We propose a method of generating the desired swing motion by keeping the string taut from the initial state when the links are hung. We investigate a method for choosing feedback gain using an off-line simulation chart. The method is evaluated by numerical experiments and shown to be effective. We constructed a two-link casting manipulator and conducted an experiment in swing motion control. The experimental results show that the proposed method of swing motion control was effective View full abstract»
Design and implementation of a hybrid control strategyPublication Year: 1999 , Page(s): 12 - 21
Cited by: Papers (13) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2388 KB)
Hybrid controllers for a double-tank system and a heating/ventilation process have been designed and implemented. Both simulations and real experiments are presented. It is shown that a hybrid controller consisting of a time-optimal controller combined with a PID controller gives very good performance. The controller is easy to implement. It gives, in one of its forms, guaranteed closed loop stability View full abstract»
A multidisciplinary flight control development environment and its application to a helicopterPublication Year: 1999 , Page(s): 22 - 33
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2440 KB)
CONDUIT, a computational facility for aircraft flight control design and evaluation, has been developed and demonstrated. CONDUIT offers a graphical environment for integrating simulation models and control law architectures with design specifications and constraints. This tool provides comprehensive analysis support and design guidance to a knowledgeable control system designer. Combining the easy-to-use graphical interface, the preprogrammed libraries of specifications, and the multiobjective function optimization engine (CONSOL-OPTCAD) in a single environment, CONDUIT offers the potential for significant reduction in time and cost of design, analysis, and flight-test optimization of modern flight control systems. A case study application to a complex rotary-wing flight control problem was presented. The baseline RASCAL UH-60 control system, as provided by the flight control contractor, was evaluated versus the ADS-33D handling-quality specifications. The selectable system gains were optimized to meet all system performance and handling-quality specifications. CONDUIT successfully exploited the tradeoff between forward loop and feedback dynamics to significantly improve the expected handling qualities and stability robustness, while reducing crossover frequency and minimizing actuator activity. The tradeoff studies showed the effect of increasing design margin (overdesign) on closed loop performance and actuator activity. Design margins exceeding 7.5% led to rapidly increasing actuator energy and saturation, resulting in shortened fatigue life of rotor control View full abstract»
Supervisory hybrid systemsPublication Year: 1999 , Page(s): 42 - 55
Cited by: Papers (23)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2652 KB)
Supervisory hybrid systems are systems generating a mixture of continuous-valued and discrete-valued signals. This systems paradigm is particularly useful in modeling applications where high-level decision making is used to supervise process behavior. Hybrid system methodologies are also applicable to switched systems where the system switches between various setpoints or operational modes to extend its effective operating range. Hybrid systems, therefore, embrace a diverse set of applications. There has been considerable activity in the area of hybrid systems theory, and this article provides an introduction to some of the basic concepts and trends in this emergent field. The term hybrid refers to a mixing of two fundamentally different types of objects or methods. The paper deals with supervisory hybrid systems. Supervisory hybrid systems are systems that combine discrete event and continuous-valued dynamics. The article is organized as follows. We first provide an example of a hybrid system, to be used throughout as a pedagogical tool illustrating various concepts in hybrid systems theory. We then discuss modeling frameworks for hybrid systems, paying specific attention to the hybrid automaton. Not only may the system have a hybrid character, but the specifications on desired system behaviors may also be hybrid. The article also discusses specification logics that express system requirements on both the discrete and continuous states of the system. The article continues with a survey of current methods and concepts used to verify or validate desired system behaviors, and concludes with a survey of current methods for hybrid control system synthesis View full abstract»

Well, is that what you were expecting? ;) It could be, but without the true leaves showing up yet, I don't know. First leaves on a lot of plants look similar, but these are of the shape to be expected so far. The next pair of leaves, or the following set, will look more like the typical leaves of the plant.

Several problems.
1. We have had 12 years of dismal performance by both the Republicans and Democrats.
2. The youth vote is being lost by Obama.
3. Marijuana legalization support is at a record high.
4. Obama has been super heavy handed in destroying civil rights.
5. Only 50% of the population fine themselves represented by the 2-party system.
6. A record 80% of the population want a 3rd option in November.
7. The Libertarian Party has never ran an electable candidate before, one that sounded rational, one that had experience, one that is pragmatic. They are now.

It's been 5 months since I posted this. Thought I would update the situation and also it will move my post along so it won't continue to stay at the top.
I used the BreathableBaby Bumper along with Go Mama Go Wonder Bumpers on the rails. These two products (used together at the same time) worked out well.
As soon as he was able to pull to a stand (about 7-1/2 months old), I removed the BreathableBaby Bumper and left the Wonder Bumpers on the rails.
