The 10 Best Crib Alternatives on the MarketDevan McGuinness
I have been busy over the past few months getting the house ready for a new baby. I've been doing deep cleaning and organizing, and making sure the kids' rooms are updated so they don't feel left out and purchasing all those must-have items for our new bundle of joy, like a baby carrier and a swing. With just over a month left until baby boy comes into the world, we have finished all the big purchases and many of the smaller house projects.
We didn't get a crib, though. And that wasn't an oversight.
When our last child was born almost 5 years ago. we bought a crib and had it set up in our bedroom. When our baby was born, we used a small in-bed co-sleeper to facilitate the early weeks of breastfeeding, and as time went on, that crib in our bedroom went unused. It was more of a large laundry hamper than a sleep location for our daughter who continued to happily (and safely) sleep away in our bed. When we were planning what purchases we needed to make for our upcoming baby, we quickly checked crib off the list because we knew that, just like last time, it would go unused.
We've bought a safe in-bed co-sleeper for those early weeks as well as a bedside bassinet for when we want some space or for when he's older and needs a nap without mommy. We plan to co-sleep with this baby as we did with our youngest for as long as it makes sense for us (which was about three years with our daughter). We will continue to transition the sleeping to make it safer for different ages and stages, but we've realized that the traditional crib we're all told is a "must-have" item for a new baby is really not at all a "must-have."
If you're looking for an alternative to a traditional crib for whatever reason, be it safety, price, or parental practice, there are some great alternatives that you can choose from! Browse this round-up, and you're bound to find an option that perfectly suits your family.
Crib Alternatives 1 of 11
If you're looking for an alternative to a traditional crib, here are some choices.
A Floor Bed 2 of 11
All you need is a baby-proofed room and a mattress, and you can place your infant safely with no blankets or pillows either in their own room on in yours.
Pros: You can use an older mattress you don't have use for, can be used for a long time (my older kids, age 7 and 5, still sleep on theirs)
Cons: You have to really make sure the room is baby-proofed, and, as they age, convincing them to stay in bed takes some time.
Price: varies
In-Bed Co-Sleeper 3 of 11
It's what we used for all three of our children and have a similar one for this new baby when he's born. It's just a smaller bed you place in your bed to make bed-sharing safer.
Pros: You can bed-share without having to worry too much more about rolling over onto the baby, thanks to the hard barrier sides.
Cons: The baby outgrows quickly, and you really need to make sure you're still following the bed-sharing safety guidelines.
Want this one? The First Year's Secure Sleeper on Amazon, $42.29
Moses Basket 4 of 11
I have never used one myself but can see them being really handy purchase if you're not wanting a traditional crib, but looking for something to use before they're a little bigger.
Pros: It's very mobile-friendly, and you can watch your baby sleep or nap anywhere. Great for small spaces or smaller budgets.
Cons: The baby outgrows quickly, and you'll need to find another solution at after about 3 months.
Want this one? Badger Basket, Natural on Amazon, $39.99
Cradle 5 of 11
It looks a lot like a crib, but it's so much smaller, and with the benefit of the rocking motion it can be used as a all-time sleep solution or for when they're taking their naps during the day.
Pros: Smaller than a traditional crib and much more affordable.
Cons: Can only be used for about 6 months before baby outgrows the weight guidelines.
Want this one? DaVinci Futura Cradle on Amazon, $109
Travel Crib 6 of 11
You probably only think about a travel crib if you're looking for a solution at Grandma's house or if you're on the go, but it can be a great alternative to a traditional crib at home.
Pros: Light, travel-friendly, and grows well with your child.
Cons: About as expensive as a traditional crib.
Want this one? Baby Bjorn Travel Crib Light on Amazon, $299.95
Pack 'n Play 7 of 11
We have a Pack'n Play in our room set up for baby's nap time or when we want a little more space in the bed. Also, it's important for safety if you're really tired (which happens with a newborn), and bed-sharing isn't a good idea when you are.
Pros: Much smaller than a traditional crib, can grow with your baby in stages, not as expensive, and it travels well.
Cons: I don't know of many cons other than that they can be a little tricky to put together, but likely not much more than a traditional crib.
Want this one? Pack'n Play Element Playard with Stages, $139.99
Bed-Side Co-Sleeper 8 of 11
It looks very similar to a Pack'n Play, but this one has a drop-down side in the front to make it line right up, safely, with your mattress.
Pros: It makes it so much closer to bed-sharing without them being in your actual mattress. You can reach the baby for easy and quick feeds.
Cons: Can only be used for about 5 months before the baby outgrows it. Also, you'll need to buy an attachment if you've got a larger bed you need to match up to.
Want this one? Arms Reach Euro-Mini Arc Co-Sleeper $174.99
Cardboard Box 9 of 11
I'm not kidding! And no, it doesn't make you a bad parent. In fact, Finnish babies don't sleep in cribs when they're first brought home because each family goes home from the hospital with a box for them to sleep in. You can read all about it to see I'm not making it up.
Pros: Very affordable and you can get a larger size if you've got a longer baby. Can be easily replaced if broken or damaged.
Cons: Baby will need to find an alternative solution when s/he's a bit larger.
Price: $ varies
Bed Share 10 of 11
You don't have to get any sleep solution for your infant other than your own bed. You can even combine it into the floor bed mentioned before. As long as you're following the strict and important bed-sharing safety guidelines, it's a good alternative to a crib.
Pros:There is no cost other than your own bed, which you likely already have. It's a great and simple way for the whole family to get sleep, and facilitates a strong breastfeeding relationship.
Cons: You have to make sure you're following the safety guidelines — every time.
Price: $ varies
Basinet 11 of 11
I think these used to be a pretty popular sleep solution before cribs really became popular, but for some reason, we don't seem them too often even though they're still a great choice.
Pros: Great for smaller spaces and lighter budgets. There are newer ones on the market that have songs and/or vibrations as well for a more soothing sleep.
Cons: Baby will likely be too heavy for weight recommendations when s/he reaches 15lbs.
Want this one? Summer Infant Soothe & Sleep Basinet , $159.99

During the past few years, a lesion has come to my notice which affects portions of the gastro-intestinal tract in children and which has apparently been neglected by medical authors to such an extent that it is not at all well known. This lesion is an isolated or localized hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue in the cecum and appendix without a condition of status lymphaticus, or, so far as one can tell without necropsy, of hyperplasia of the lymphoid tissue of other parts of the intestinal tract. The condition has clinical significance, because in two of the three cases I will report, the tumor-like growth of lymphoid tissue initiated processes that required immediate surgical intervention. In one instance a tumor-like mass in the ileocecal valve caused an intussusception; in the other, the appendix was obstructed where it joined the cecum, and the dilated distal portion was acutely inflamed and filled with

Comic Book Science in the Classroom
A new experiment in Maryland has students and teachers using comic books as learning tools. The program illustrates an ongoing debate: do teachers give students a challenge, or offer less difficult material that is more likely to spark their interest?
The books are meeting with mixed reviews among fifth-graders at at Lisby-Hillsdale Elementary. As 10-year-old Hunter Haag said of the difference between regular books and graphic novels, "it's kind of good about not having pictures, because you get a chance to make it up in your mind."
But some students say neither comic books nor adventure books can compete with their first passion: video games.

|Smartphone: Sony Xperia arc S
|At a glance:
|Has a faster processor than the Arc,Thin and light with a great screen,Internet sometimes feels a little sluggish
|The Xperia Arc with a makeover still hits the spot.
If you've seen the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, you already have a good idea of what the Arc S looks like. Piano black and chrome surround, a gentle concurve rear and edge-to-edge scratch-resistant glass facing. Not only is it incredibly attractive (every time I put it on a table around friends, someone picked it up to admire it), it feels lightweight but lush – almost slippery – in your hand. The slim build also means it slots into a pocket neatly without feeling bulgy or awkward, despite the 4.2-inch screen. It's lightweight enough at 117g that you may not even notice that it's there.
And if you forget that it's in your pocket, never fear: this is one tough phone. It feels reassuringly robust, and all our efforts to bend or flex it came to naught. It survived several days of being lugged around in a rear pocket without cracking a sweat.
The screen is bright without having the shield-your-eyes glow of the Nokia N9, and its 480 x 854 resolution gives it sharpness and crispness equivalent to that of the HTC Sensation or Samsung Galaxy S II.The colour accuracy is good – though whites are not as white as the N9 – and details are excellent.
It all helps to show off any shots taken with the 8MP camera. I liked that the camera could be used either with touch-screen controls or the dedicated button at the bottom of the phone, and it's capable of timed shots, as well as 3D sweep panoramas. Having said that, it's not the best at low light, and I found the LED flash overbright at times.
The Arc S runs Android 2.3 (gingerbread) on a 1.4GHz processor, with 512MB RAM. This helps apps to load quickly, and Sony's overlays on the five main screens of the phone include some nice touches – the Timescape UI for social updating that we most recently saw with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, a slick media viewer/player, favourites, and fast access to settings. Games felt zippy enough, however I was surprised by how slow websites occasionally seemed to load. It was even more surprising given that the Arc S has faster HSDPA connectivity than the original Arc (14.4Mbit/sec compared to 7.2Mbit/sec).
Some people have been reporting issues with fast battery drain on the Arc S, but I'm a heavy data user and found that it lasted just over a day for me. When I went overseas and switched off data, the battery lasted more than three days. Having said that, it would have been nice to have a data on/off fast-button – as there is for bluetooth, sound and Wi-Fi – on one of the Arc S's five home screens. Sony says the battery life is better for the Arc S, presumably because of better power management for the updated processor, since the battery is the same as in its predecessor.
You get 1GB storage onboard and with the included 8GB MicroSD card, there's enough space for apps and a moderate multimedia stash. The widescreen lends itself to video playback, too.
One final nice touch is support for USB on-the-go, which lets you plug in a USB stick or similar and use the phone to access the data on it. You can then pull off or play songs stored there, for example. However, we weren't able to test this feature.
All in all, though, the Arc S takes the original design of the Arc and improves on it, even if only in minor details. As with the Motorola Defy's recent updated version, the Defy+, those details still improve the whole, and the whole was pretty slick to begin with.
There's now more competition in the thin-and-light smartphone stakes, but the Arc S holds up well and at $799, it's not too steeply priced.

Moodle: A fantastic tool for informal learning – and not just "e-learning"
Last week I hosted a webinar called "Come Moodle with Us: Straight Talk on Moodle as an LMS Solution." Along with two of my colleagues at BLP, we showed attendees OUR Moodle site – and attempted to illustrate many of the cool features Moodle provides and how Moodle facilitates informal learning and not just functions as a place to house and track e-learning. If you'd like a copy of our session slides – or a link to our Moodle site, please feel free to sownload my notes: moodle_08272009_sessionnotes.
A few "highlights" that I want to share:
1) Moodle is about creating a learning community. Those who want to use it just to track learning are missing its point. In our case, it connects all the employees in our organization to each other. Our employees can now easily locate other resources inside the organization who can help them with a variety of things such as instructional design, Flash development, game design, simulations, etc.
2) Moodle CAN host e-learning courses….but it can do so much more. Example: I created a "course" in Moodle called Adobe Max. Six of our employees are going to the Adobe Max conference in October; by creating a course using the "social" format in Moodle, I am setting up a way for them to share learning on specific topics (i.e. After Effects, Acrobat, CS4, etc). Also – I can give many, many people the ability to become course creators. If you have something you want to teach someone else, Moodle can let you set up a course and do it!
3) Moodle can provide a company-wide calendar of learning events that everyone can see. This is a simple feature…and yet one we didn't have before.
4) Moodle can make it easy for me to post links to great blogs – and to get everyone in our organization blogging. Even better, I can create assignments within courses to blog on specific topics (such as learning to work in a virtual environment.) The blogger can create tags that make it very easy for other employees to find posts on topics of interest (such as working in a virtual environment).
5) Moodle makes it super-easy to share rich media. Links to our YouTube channel are embedded on our company's front page. I can share any video from YouTube…or other video-sharing sites. I could also share photos from Flicker, etc.
6) I can help people acquire our BLP lingo by setting up a glossary. Our glossary lets people rate the entries for their value. Employees can also add to or edit glossary entries. Even better, the posts show the author's picture and provide a link to the author so people can get in touch with the author if they'd like.
Moodle is going to be a major help to us in developing employees and fostering informal learning. I think many organizations could find it to be an answer to their quest for facilitating learning throughout their organizaton. My goal is to help people "discover" Moodle.

I purchased skeptic a small package of these diapers size 2 since they are hypoallergenic and fragrance free, I had payed a lot of money for an expensive earth friendly brand and received as baby shower gift two different more known diaper brands. With all of them, we had major blowouts or leaks, and my son got a really bad diaper rash, even changing him more frequently with all three. But the White Clouds Diapers have performed better than expected, we haven't experienced any leaks or blowouts, my baby sleeps through the night, before I had to change him in the middle of the night once or twice so he wouldn't get a rash or he would wake up from the wetness. They run a little big but it's a plus for me because they fit my chubby baby just fine. The interior of the diaper is very soft, and the exterior part is not tough and scratchy. I would recommend them to any parent who has a baby with sensitive skin. They are very good quality and not as expensive as others.
I was all excited to use these diapers with my newborn. I will be honest and say that I liked them 10x more than the Parents Choice diaper. The WC diapers have the wetness indicator and were so much softer. They were stretchier and fit better. They also contained all the blowouts, Wahoo!. But. . .
They did not seems to absorb the wetness. My son hates feeling the wetness of a diaper next to his skin. The average time in one of the white Cloud diapers was barely an hour. My bigger issue was the lint. I thought at 1st it was the vaseline used to protect the circumcision that somehow formed a gunk on parts. After everything healed and we were not using vaseline, the stringy gunk was still there. It took a few changes to see the problem. THE DIAPER LEFT LINT! I changed my son about an hour after being dried from a bath and there were tufts of the cotton stuck to him. I thought this is weird, but a few more changes (one being a different brand) and that is what it was. I tried Luvs and have not had that problem since the switch. Totally disappointed in this product.
As a cost considerate mom of 3, I was pleasently surprised by these disposible diapers. We primarily use cloth diapers on our children. However, I decided to grab some disposibles for a Christmas road trip to avoid doing diaper laundry in a house with 12 people in it. These diaper did not stink (as, in my opinion, most disposibles do) and were up to the task of containing even the most icky breastmilk poo diaper on my 3.5 month old. Plus, they were about $3 less than huggies or pampers. They get two thumbs up from me, and I would purchase these again in a similar situation. :).
I used these 8 years ago on my oldest two children and neither got rashes, leaked, had any trouble with them. My youngest is now 19 months old and I'm so excited to not have to spend $35 a box on his diapers (Huggies) anymore. These have proven to be wonderful again. His diaper rash is gone after 1 week being on them. I've not had to wash his bedding after 2 hours of a nap. Thank you White Cloud and Walmart for bringing these diapers back and saving a disabled Mommy that extra $20 every two weeks.
I had a friend years ago swear by White Cloud diapers. I have been using Luvs for some time and the last few times I have been to Walmart they were out. I saw the box of White Cloud and it was a good price so I went ahead and bought a box. I have never wished for my child to go thru diapers so quick.
The tab that closes the diaper tears very easy. If you have a kid that moves around a lot you need to be careful or you will end up tearing these off like I have. I have wasted about 1/3 of the box.
The seem to leak on my child more than any other diapers we have used. In the mornings the diaper smells almost like a bad litter box.
I am all for a good value, and I had hoped that these would work out better for me, but sadly they have not. When he runs out of what we have I will most likely never buy these again.
We love these diapers. They are breathable (hot air goes thru but all the liquids and messes stay in.) This makes for fewer blowouts out the back, front, or legs from mess following air. Cute prints. The cottony inside next to baby's skin is super soft, softest I've seen in a diaper. It's not very moisture wicking though. The diaper has no problems holding liquid and doesn't leak, but the inside definitely feels wet after he goes. I could foresee maybe having rash issues in the future with extended use because of that, but we haven't seen any rashes yet and we've gone through a whole package already.
in 1999 I had my son & 2013 I became a gramma to a 7lbs baby boy. I had used whitecloud diapers on my son & I was impressed with the price which was less than the better brands like "huggies & pampers" & had reservations because they were cheaper but didn't know about the quality. I bought a small pack to try them and was impressed with the quality of the diapers, which were as good as the good brands on the market. When my grandson was born i had recommended Whitecloud brand diapers to my daughter but could not find them at any Walmart stores & I was thrilled to know that she came across Whitecloud at Walmart online. You see, I have been pre-ordering a great supply of Pamper brand for my grandson because I know how costly they are & how much babies go through them. My daughter had been wanting to try Whitecloud brand and so upon finding Whitecloud diapers I ordered a small supply for trial & my daughter is very pleased with the brand too- inexpensive & great quality!! So I purchased a large supply because I don't know if Walmart carries the brand on a seasonal basis. I highly recommend these diapers to all mothers & grammas out there.
We looked at all the "Natural" brands and were disappointed by the high price, much higher than regular disposables. We'd been using other White Cloud products for years and found them to be a great value for high quality products. So we gave these a try. They're only available online in our area, so we ordered a carton, keeping our fingers crossed. They fit great (like Pampers) These aren't just a great "value" diaper, they're great diapers period. Buy them, delivery is free if you buy four cartons (as of 3/1/14). These are significantly lower in price than the major brands, on par with the store brands.
I received a sample of the White Cloud diapers and was very impressed because this are actually very good diapers!
They are soft, fit very nice and the pattern is very cute.
I gave them 5 stars because even though they're not as extremely absorbent as for example, Pampers Cruisers (my favorite), they hold up pretty good, specially for being $6.97 diapers against $9.47 Pampers and Huggies (before current rollback).
The only complaint I have is that the diapers have to be ordered online and I for instance have several $1.00 off coupons that won't be able to use because the Tampa stores don't have them.
Hi everyone! Ok my daughter had been using luv and parents choice, they worked fine! But my daughter developed a bad rash, im not sure why we had been using both brand since birth. Well i seen that white cloud is hypoallergenic and they REALLY are her rash went away! She is 18 months and a heavy drinker and wetter, the size 4 fit her she is 27 pounds & tall she a little chunky . They hold urine great, and loose bm ok. I will never buy any other diaper brand, ill try white cloud pull ups soon with her !!!
Great diaper, good fit and very soft on little ones sensitive skin.
Buy these! ---- They are super soft inside, have all the features of expensive diapers, no leaks, and you can't beat the price. I've used FOUR other brands and they are my fav. So glad to find these!! I'll use these exclusively.
I would highly recommend these diapers to anybody! These are wayyy better than parents's choice.
They keep my toddler dry and they don't irritate his sensitive skin. What a great value!
Much better than diapers I was using. Recommend this product.
I purchased these diapers two days ago and I've already had LOTS of leaks and blowouts. I would def. not recommend these diapers to anyone. Worse diaper purchase I have ever made! I was really hoping these would work since they were for babies with sensitive skin and fragrance free. Very disappointed in the product. Even though they are cheap they are a BIG WASTE OF MONEY!!!
I received a lot of different diapers from my baby showers. I have tried a lot of different brands because of this. I had received White Cloud diapers in size 1 and had never heard of them before and was pleasantly surprised by them. I wasn't expecting much from them when I first opened the package, but I have only had one leak with them so far and I think that was because my son was squirming a lot during his diaper change and I didn't get it on correctly. With the more expensive diapers I was experiencing way more issues with the diapers leaking. When my baby shower diaper stash runs out I will be purchasing these diapers because so far they have been my favorite and they are a lot less expensive than the other brands.
I got these diapers in newborn size. They fit slightly bigger than huggies or pampers so that is something to keep in mind if you have a tiny baby. they dont have that baby scent of the brand names and are a little bit more papery. Overal they are great and dont leak!
I don't usually write reviews, but I always read them. Lol. I must say I LOVE THIS BRAND! The diapers literally feel like cloth. I know my daughter likes the comfortability. I would only recommend getting one size bigger for bigger babies.
I used white cloud on my youngest daughter-13 years ago. Now with my 3rd grandchild they finally came back. We love them and use them on the two youngest (18months and 2 months). They both have sensitive skin and have had no problems.

Dulwich's 200-Year-Old Jewel
On Sunday, in the genteel leafy London suburb of Dulwich, there will be a special birthday party.
Celebrating with a concert of music by local schools, falconry displays, free entry to the permanent collections and fireworks to cap it all, Dulwich Picture Gallery will be 200 years old. Though it feels remote from central London, Dulwich Picture Gallery is in fact only 13 minutes and a short brisk walk from Victoria Station. Here, in serenity, it embodies a paradox that lies at the heart of its appeal.
Founded as a result of a series of accidents, it is hailed not just as the first but as the model for all subsequent public art galleries. Its world-class collection of 16th- to 18th-century European masterpieces, including works by Poussin, Van Dyck, Rembrandt and Rubens, has won it a global reputation.
The highlight Sunday will be the unveiling of Sir Thomas Lawrence's portrait of Sir John Soane, the first of a series of 12 significant masterpieces, loaned, in monthly homage, from some of the world's most eminent art institutions.
This first painting, on loan from Sir John Soane's Museum, honors the gallery's great idiosyncratic neoclassical architect, whose elegant sequence of daylight-filled spaces will now set off his own portrait to its best advantage. "Soane's enfilade at Dulwich Picture Gallery is one of the great jewels in the world," says gallery Director Ian Dejardin. "I wanted to have some element of the celebrations based firmly in this feature."
The succession of what Mr. Dejardin refers to as "presiding geniuses" will include Velázquez's "El bufón Don Sebastián de Morra" from the Prado, El Greco's astonishing "The Vision of Saint John" from the Metropolitan Museum in New York, Veronese's "Venus and Mercury before Jupiter" from the Uffizi and Rembrandt's "Titus as a Monk" from Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum.
This weekend marks strictly the bicentennial of the death of Sir Francis Bourgeois (1753-1811), who bequeathed the entire founding art collection to Dulwich College in his will, with the stipulation that the 360 paintings be available to "inspection by the Public." An Anglo-Swiss painter of modest reputation, Bourgeois had been a partner in one of Georgian London's most successful picture dealerships.
In 1790 he and his friend, Frenchman Noël Desenfans, were commissioned by Stanislaus Augustus, King of Poland, to form a Royal Collection that would not only bring great honor to Poland but also "encourage the progress of the fine arts in Poland."
Rapidly they amassed an exemplary didactic collection. "Our founders put together a history of western art as it was then understood," Mr. Dejardin explains. "So it is important as a document in the history of taste." The bias toward the later Flemish and Dutch schools; the magnificent Poussins, "the academic artist par excellence," as Mr. Dejardin says; the emphasis on baroque rather than renaissance art and the almost entire neglect of British painting, were all "very much of its time."
Unfortunately, in the interim Poland had been torn apart by its more powerful neighbors, and in 1795 the King of Poland was forced to abdicate. Bourgeois and Desenfans were left with an orphaned "royal" collection on their hands. Some of the pictures they sold privately and upgraded, but their main ambition was to persuade a national government to buy the collection as a whole.
The idea wasn't new. Across Europe in the late 18th century, inspired by the spirit of the Enlightenment, princely collections had been nationalized and opened to the public—and the British Museum had opened its doors in 1753. But whether owing to snobbery (both Bourgeois and Desenfans, as foreigners, remained outside the art establishment) or bad timing, the British Government, as also the Tsar of Russia, turned down the opportunity.
Desenfans died in 1807. With increasing urgency, and reluctant to bequeath their hard won treasures to the British Museum, whose trustees he judged too "aristocratic" and "arbitrary," Bourgeois settled his collection on Dulwich College, stating in his will that he wanted it to "go down to Posterity for the benefit of the Public." In addition, sums of money were provided for the refurbishment of the college's existing gallery and the building of a mausoleum for Bourgeois, Desenfans, and, eventually, Desenfans' widow—with the strong recommendation that Soane, a close friend of Bourgeois, be entrusted with the project. Soane began work at once, boldly reinterpreting the brief: in 1817 the first purpose-built art gallery opened its doors to the public.
Since then both building and collection have been significantly augmented. The Linley family group of portraits in 1935 and the centenary Fairfax Murray Gift in 1911 of mostly English portraits, "transformed the Gallery," according to Mr. Dejardin, "and brought the British school into the picture." The Gainsboroughs, especially, have always been popular, while the number of important paintings by Poussin, Rembrandt and Rubens has ensured the Gallery's permanent reputation as a worthy rival to the National Gallery, founded in 1824.
But the Gallery has also faced more difficult times. Ruskin's rudeness about Bolognese painting and Murillo cast a blight over British appreciation of Dulwich's Italian and Spanish works for many years and in 1944 a Doodlebug obliterated the west façade. In the 1990s on-going financial difficulties almost led to the Gallery's closure.
Part of the extravagant joyfulness of this year's celebrations comes from the remarkable renascence the gallery has enjoyed as a consequence of three main factors: its highly regarded education program; the tactful modern extension designed by Rick Mather, which furnished a café and lecture rooms, completed in 1999, and its imaginative temporary exhibitions.
Mr. Dejardin, who became director in 2005, succeeding Desmond Shawe-Taylor, says: "We had established that you could do three shows a year, but we can't do blockbusters. If we get 160,000 to 170,000 [visitors] a year that is an absolute limit. We have to plough a different furrow and I think we should plough as different a furrow as possible."
This year's temporary exhibitions exemplify his approach. Until March 27, Norman Rockwell's America, continues Mr. Dejardin's strong theme of American shows. The Friends Easter Open Exhibition will follow (April 22-May 8), the fourth biennial of work by the gallery's foremost supporters. Then we have the brave, unmissable Twombly and Poussin: Arcadian Painters (June 29-Sept. 25) setting ancient and modern beside each other as if they were contemporaries. "The idea came from Twombly himself, who said in an interview that if he could come back as any other artist it would be Poussin," Mr. Dejardin explains.
Finally, Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven (Oct. 19-Jan. 18, 2012) indulges a passion of Mr. Dejardin. "I have been a fan since the 1980s," he says of this vibrant early twentieth century group. "In Canada these artists are gods. They define to this day how Canadians see their landscape."

Gettysburg Remembrance Day parade has new dateBreaking News
tags: WaPo, Civil War, Gettysburg, sesquicentennial, Gettysburg Address
In anticipation of larger than usual crowds expected at Gettysburg for the annual Remembrance Day parade, planners have moved the event to the weekend of Nov. 23, a week later than had been scheduled.
This year is the 150th anniversary of both the battle in July and Remembrance Day in November, the day President Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address. The parade is very popular with visitors and residents and draws thousands of smartly dressed reenactors who march in military units through the city.
Planners say the change was made to better accommodate "lodging requirements."...

A man who escaped justice for 14 years after a violent dairy
robbery has been captured in Dunedin.
The breakthrough in the Wellington cold case came after DNA
profiling identified Christopher Stephen Tilby (38).
Arrested on cannabis charges in Dunedin, Tilby was in court
yesterday after admitting his part in the aggravated robbery
of the Zoo Park dairy in Newtown.
Tilby told Dunedin police he ''did lose some sleep'' over the
crime, committed with three others on May 15, 2000. One
associate threatened the dairy owner's 13-year-old daughter
with a baton and another closed the door to the back room and
the girl's mother.
The girl frantically pressed a buzzer to alert her mother but
the associate standing by the door pushed the woman
forcefully backwards, causing her to fall against a couch and
break six ribs.
Tilby and the baton-wielding associate took cigarettes and
more than $310 which they put in a pillow case before leaving
the dairy. They sped away in a stolen Honda which was
abandoned near the Wellington Railway Station and the
offenders travelled by train to Porirua.
DNA found in the abandoned car was identified as belonging to
Tilby two years ago as a result of advances in DNA analysis.
He told Dunedin police the robbery was not planned,
describing it as ''just one of those things''.
He yesterday admitted his part in the robbery and the taking
of the car. He also admitted unrelated charges of possessing
cannabis and a cannabis smoking pipe in Dunedin last week and
was remanded in custody by Judge Stephen Coyle for sentence
next month.

My boyfriend liked the pleating on the front, though I was surprised at the thinness of the material. I would think it would start showing some wear after a few washings. Also, I bought a specific length and received a product that stated what I wanted on the tag, but was much longer. I don't know if all pants of this brand are that way, but we would need to hem the pants to get a good fit.
The pants look great and they fit nice. They ride up the rump a little and they are a little long for some style of shoes. If you wear a low dress shoe, the pants hang nice. If you wear more of a boot style with these, then the pants will bunch up more and look a little baggy. They are priced fairly well at $17 each. It would have been nice to have more color selection.
I thought the pants were an excellent value. Unfortunately these pants are not made for big & tall sized boys and men.
Same as the others. Size is not as advertised. The 30 length is 34.
My Grandson needed new pants for school so i decided to try the George Men's Pleated Pants for him. I was so please with the cut and the quality of this product and best of all my Grandson loved them he said they fit "really good". Thanks Wal Mart for having such great deals on such a quality product.
Sincerely, Cincinnati, Ohio
I was looking for pants for my husband in a size 38x34. There were not many out there for a reasonable price. I bought these for him for a Christmas present and they looked great, fit him great and best of all were a great price!! Would have loved if they came in black.
These are not going to last for years.. or be good dress pants. But for 10.00 a pair they are GREAT and nice looking for work pants! We use them for all of our tech's in our company now. GOOD BUY!!
too small in the waist, even though the same brand fit fine when I got them before. I am going to have to hassle to take them back, and now I don't have a good Fathers Day gift!!!!!
I ordered the size 40w 30l, The waist size was a 44w at the minimum.

The objective was to assess which interventions effectively reduce fear of falling in community-living older people. An extensive search for relevant literature comprised a database search of PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; expert consultation; and manually searching reference lists from potentially relevant papers. Randomized, controlled trials that assessed fear of falling in community-living older people were included. Two independent reviewers extracted data from full papers on study characteristics, methodological quality, outcomes, and process characteristics of the intervention. The search identified 599 abstracts, and 19 papers met the inclusion criteria. Seven of those papers were identified using expert consultation. Fifty-five percent of all validity items and 39% of process characteristic items were fulfilled across the 19 trials. Twelve of the 19 papers were of higher methodological quality. In 11 of these trials, fear of falling was lower in the intervention group than in the control group. Interventions that showed effectiveness were fall-related multifactorial programs (n=5), tai chi interventions (n=3), exercise interventions (n=2), and a hip protector intervention (n=1). Three of these interventions explicitly aimed to reduce fear of falling. Several interventions, including interventions not explicitly aimed at fear of falling, resulted in a reduction of fear of falling in community-living older people. Limited but fairly consistent findings in trials of higher methodological quality showed that home-based exercise and fall-related multifactorial programs and community-based tai chi delivered in group format have been effective in reducing fear of falling in community-living older people.

MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (July 2, 2013)--A storm that caused flash flooding in the area scorched by Colorado's Waldo Canyon Fire in 2012 damaged about 20 homes, about a half-dozen of them heavily.
More than a half inch of rain fell in less than 20 minutes Monday, causing mud to flow into the houses in Manitou Springs and western Colorado Springs.
A woman said the mud slide pushed her car about five feet and left the engine compartment filled with sticks, twigs and mud.
While the rainfall was intense, the storm moved quickly through the area.
A meteorologist said the damage would have been much worse if the storm had settled over the area.
Colorado Springs officials said more than 160 people were relocated from a low-lying trailer park as a precaution.

NY Mafia cops found guilty of murder
The Associated Press
NEW YORK- Two decorated former police detectives were convicted Thursday of moonlighting as hit men for the mob in what a prosecutor described as "the most violent betrayal of the badge this city has ever seen."
The two detectives, who spent a combined 44 years on the New York City Police force and once worked as partners, now face up to life in prison.
Eppolito and Caracappa were accused of leading a double life for years.
In the daylight, they were respected city detectives, but at the same time, they moonlighted as hired killers for Luchese crime family underboss Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Wenner described their crimes and mob association as "the bloodiest, most violent betrayal of the badge this city has ever seen."
The ex-detectives were accused in eight murders, with prosecutors charging that they used their positions as crime fighters to aid the crime family -- for a salary of $4,000 a month.
That increased when the detectives personally handled the killing, authorities said; they were paid $65,000 for the slaying of a mobster during a phony traffic stop.
Casso also referred to the pair as his "crystal ball," providing inside information on law enforcement interest in the mob world, authorities said.
Caracappa, who retired in 1992, helped establish the city police department's office for Mafia murder probes.

Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos PlayStation 3
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Dec 16, 2010It's dull, with rare moments of huge reward, and the only game it's competing with in the graphics department came out about 10 years ago, but it is not poorly designed.
Jan 2, 2011It's clunky, repetitive, and looks like it was designed for platforms of the previous generation. If you really want to experience this sort of thing without getting yourself killed, you're still better off with the TV show.
Dec 20, 2010It lacks the polish that many games have today, and its load times can be cumbersome because they happen so often. With that said, there's still some substance beneath the unpleasant façade that fans of Deadliest Catch will enjoy, though not necessarily in unlimited quantities.
Dec 19, 2010Even if you're hard up for new Move-controlled games (in which case you should be perusing PSN), avoid the temptation to give this title a shot. Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos is beyond disappointing, and it's one of the most boring titles I've had the displeasure to play this year.

Still interesting, because your experience (maybe because you're an E?) is different than what their sizing chart says. Their sizing chart says 43.5 Velasca is a 10.5US, not 10. I'm an E in 5 last as well, so I might have to go with your sizing calculation.

All UHP students now have the opportunity to build their honors learning portfolios using the web-based platform of their choice (within some parameters that are noted below). Students are no longer required to use the iWebfolio platform. Below are frequently asked questions regarding learning portfolios in general as well as the change in platform options.
What are the benefits of learning portfolios?
The learning portfolio showcases your experiences and learning at UC, both within and outside of University Honors. In doing so, it is intentionally designed to help you to reflect on your learning in a regular and integrated manner. Critically reflecting on your learning in this way, across individual courses and experiences, allows you to realize the following benefits:
- Over time, you can identify knowledge, skills and attitudes developed through courses and experiences, as well as areas for further future development.
- Each showcase offers an informal story of the course/project that takes your learning beyond the "A". You can include stories and evidence of learning that are significant and that are markers of your academic, personal and/or professional growth.
- The process of reflecting over time will better prepare you for experiences like job interviews, graduate school applications, scholarship essays, etc. For example, in job interviews, situational questions are often asked - e.g., "can you tell me a time when....?". The learning portfolio serves as a frame of reference and provides you with space to reflect on and refine how you describe what you've experienced and learned and also how that learning informs your future actions and goals.
- Faculty and staff who serve as writers for letters of recommendation can reference your learning portfolio (if you share it with them). The reflections in your portfolio extend the understanding of who you are and what you have accomplished beyond the brief resume.
Ok, so what are my options? What features need to be included in the platform that I choose?
Students have suggested a number of free web-based platforms. To date, we have tested and recommend the following platforms:
Should you select another free or pay-service platform, it must have the following features:

To move from an old XP host to a new Windows 7 host, I need to go through the list of applications that I use. Ideally, I'd like to find a (GUI) tool that list all installed applications in descending order of use, so that I can check what is worth moving to the new host.
The archives showed a number of applications, but the one I know, SIW, doesn't provide this information. Does someone know if there's a reliable application that does this?

Staking His Claim
By Karen Templeton

Chapter OneNone of this had been her choice.
Not the car, a leprous, pumpkin-orange GTO with one front fender painted, inexplicably, baby blue. Not the trip itself - as if she had time to schlep back to Oklahoma with all those pending cases sitting on her desk nearly two thousand miles away. And God knows - she waited out a wave of nausea - not the reason for the trip.
Well, that wasn't exactly true. The outcome might not have been her choice, but the events leading up to it definitely had been.
So much for living for the moment.
"No shame, no blame," Dawn Gardner muttered as she drove up in front of the single-story, sprawling farmhouse, still cinnamon brown with white-and-dark-green trim as it had always been. Edging a lawn faded from the early September heat, the same deep-pink roses bloomed, as they always had, only now against a backdrop of tangled deadwood. Cottonwoods stirred listlessly in the breeze, as if worn-out from the effort of shading the house for a whole summer, their lazy susurration no competition for the late-afternoon drone of a bumper crop of cicadas. The mingled scents weighting the humid air - of horse and fresh cut hay, the sweet, heady tang of overripe fruit - assaulted both her reluctant memory and her hypersensitive nose, making her stomach pitch. Making her feel ... untethered, like a soul in limbo.
A retriever mix, whose name she'd forgotten, his coat flashing gold in the late-day sun, sauntered over to the car with a halfhearted woof. She smiled, patting the door so he'd come close enough for her to pet. As she did, her gaze meandered to the front porch step, only one riser up from the yard. Memory nudged into view a pair of children, a boy and a girl, sitting there as they had hundreds of times. They might have been six or seven, the boy - much younger than his two older brothers, who were already in high school - boasting features that foretold of the handsome man he would eventually become, with heavy-lashed eyes, green as new grass, and thick blond hair that refused to be tamed. A little spoiled, perhaps, being the baby, but not a whiner. And not a tease.
About the same height as the boy then, with long strawberry-blond hair her mother refused to cut, the girl liked that about the boy, that he never put her down. While their mothers chatted in the kitchen, the boy would often take the girl with him while he did his chores around the farm, mostly feeding the animals - pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits. The horses. Since they were too young to be around the huge animals by themselves, sometimes his daddy would be with them, a tall man with a white crewcut, dark eyes and an easy smile who always had Tootsie Rolls in his overall pockets and called the girl "young lady," but not the way people did when you did something wrong.
Sometimes she envied the boy his daddy, although she never let on.
Dawn's inner ear perked up at fragments of a conversation she hardly knew she remembered, drifting over from the porch.
"Maybe Ryan and Hank don't want to stick around, but I'm never gonna leave here," the boy said, crunching into an apple from one of the trees off to the side of the house. Totally at ease with himself, in himself, he leaned back on his elbow, an expression on his dust-smudged face the girl would later peg as serene.
Even at that age she thought it was peculiar, not wanting to see what else was out there in the world, and she told him so. Her mama had taken her into Tulsa once when she was five, and all she could think about was getting to go back someday. Except Mama was always busy helping ladies have babies and couldn't afford the time away very often, she said, in case one of the babies decided to come while she was gone.
The boy shrugged and took another bite of his apple. "Whaddya wanna do now?" he said. "Play with my trucks or somethin'?"
"Trucks are dumb."
"Not as dumb as stupid old dolls."
"Well, I don't play with dolls, do I?"
The boy gave her a funny look. "But you're a girl."
"So? That doesn't mean I hafta play with dolls. Besides, that's sexist."
"Ooooh, I'm gonna tell! You said 'sex.""
"I did not. I said sexist. That's when somebody thinks you oughta like or do something because you're a girl or a boy. Mama told me. An' she said nobody should hafta act a certain way just 'cause people expect 'em to."
The boy threw his half-eaten apple off into the yard. One of the farm dogs trotted over to investigate, but since it wasn't meat, he let it be. "You're weird, you know that?" the boy said. "And anyway, so why don't you play with dolls?"
"I dunno. Maybe because I see so many babies and little kids when Mama takes me with her on her 'pointments? Babies cry a lot, you know. And make real stinky messes in their diapers. And their hands get tangled in my hair." The girl sank her chin into the palm of her hand, waiting out the peculiar feeling she got sometimes, like an itchiness on the inside that you couldn't scratch. It wasn't fair, having to get up in the middle of the night to go with Mama when one of her ladies had her baby. But thinking about that made the itchiness worse, so she pushed the thoughts away and said instead, "We could read, maybe."
"Reading's boring," the boy said, but the girl had a pretty good idea he said that because he didn't read as well as she did. "I got a new puzzle. Wanna do that?"
"I don't like working puzzles with you, you never do 'em right."
The boy thought for a minute, then said, "We could go dig in the backyard if you want."
"S'too hot." They sat there for a long time, listening to their own thoughts - well, the girl was, anyway, she was never sure what the boy thought about, if anything - until she suddenly said, if for no other reason than the silence was beginning to hurt her head, "Brenda Sue Mosely called me a bad word today."
The boy looked like this could be interesting. "What kinda bad word?"
"I can't say it."
"Sure you can. I mean, I won't tell." When she slanted her eyes at him, he crossed his heart. "Promise."
So she leaned over and whispered the word in his ear, thinking she liked how he smelled, like earth and animals and apple, and how it made her feel safe for some reason. She'd heard the word several times before, but she wasn't exactly sure what it meant. She just knew it was meant to hurt her.
"Brenda Sue Mosely is stupid," was all the boy said, giving the girl the impression he didn't know what the word meant, either. "If she was a boy, I'd beat her up for you."
"I don't want you beatin' anybody up for me, Cal Logan, you hear me? I can stick up for myself...."
"Dawn? What the hell?"
She jumped a foot, her memories scattering like the roaches in her apartment when she turned on the light in the middle of the night. Panic sliced through her, knotting her stomach. His long, denimed legs wading through an entourage of dogs of all shapes, sizes and parentages, a very much grown-up Cal Logan approached the car, his face creased with concern. A cool breeze ruffled that same unkempt hair, now darker than it had been as a child, and bam! Just like that, even though the thought of sex with anybody right now made her green around the gills, every nerve ending she had screamed, "Remember?"
Not fair.
All her life, Cal had been just Cal. Well, mostly. There'd been the odd tickle of fantasy from time to time, but then, what else was there to do in this town besides fantasize? Their single sexual encounter had been an aberration, a momentary detour off the Road of Reason. She knew that, he knew that, they'd discussed it like rational adults the morning after and she had put the whole episode behind her, chalking it up to One of Those Things. Thought she had, anyway. Her current, totally unexpected condition didn't change the aberration aspect of this. His "just Cal-ness."
Except, now, as her gaze slithered over the body that was no longer a mystery underneath his workshirt and jeans, she silently dubbed herself six kinds of fool. What on earth had she been thinking? That she could simply forget how good the man was in bed? How good he made her? That within twenty minutes he'd changed her mind about sex from whatever to whoa?

Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for your great comments, support and enthusiasm for Digg Digg. Since we acquired the plugin we made quite a few improvements and fixed some critical bugs. However, we're a small team here at Buffer and right now we struggle to find resources to improve Digg Digg further. We know that's not ideal, so we've done a few things to try and make sure Digg Digg can still improve in the meantime before we have a larger team to work on Digg Digg:
1. We've completely open-sourced Digg Digg and made it very easy to find, browse the code and submit pull-requests by putting it on GitHub. You can find it here: https://github.com/bufferapp/diggdigg
2. We'll be actively monitoring GitHub and we're keen to pull in some great contributions to push Digg Digg forward.
3. We plan to get back to Digg Digg in the future as we care a lot about social sharing, and with WordPress being the biggest platform for blogs (we find blog posts are what people share the most) we think the plugin has much more potential than in its current state.
If you can help us spread the word to talented developers about improving Digg Digg, that would be awesome.
Thanks again, stay well!
Joel Gascoigne
Founder, Buffer

Each year from 2000 through 2009, an average of 890 years of potential life were lost because of unintentional injuries for every 100,000 children and adolescents ages 0 to 19, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Years of Potential Life Lost, a summary measure of early death, represents the total number of years of life lost to various conditions before the expected age of death, which was 75 for the purposes of the study.
The article provides state data and, the researchers said, is the first of its kind to find that the burden of unintentional injuries was much higher among males, adolescents ages 15 to 19 and American Indian/Alaska Native children, and among children in two sets of adjacent states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama; and Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota.
Effective interventions to prevent unintentional injury deaths for children include using occupant restraints, wearing bicycle and motorcycle helmets, reducing drinking and driving, strengthening graduated driver licensing laws, using safety equipment during sports participation, requiring four-sided residential pool fencing and safe sleep practices for infants.
"Implementing these strategies widely can reduce the burden of injuries" to those ages 0 to 19, the authors wrote.
The report appeared in the Oct. 19 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. To read it, visit www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6141a2.htm?s_cid=mm6141a2_w.

July 2010 Indie Next List
"Spoiled Lulu demands a brontosaurus for her birthday, and when her parents say no, Lulu tromps off to find one herself. The scary woods provide some animal encounters that Lulu easily deals with; she is the scary one, after all. Finally Lulu finds Mr. B, a brontosaurus who completely agrees that having a pet would be a wonderful thing. What happens next will surprise young readers and please their parents. Lane Smith's illustrations add a fine comedic touch."
— Margaret Brennan Neville, The King's English, Salt Lake City, UT
It's Lulu's birthday and she's decided she'd like a pet brontosaurus as a present. When Lulu's parents tell her that's not possible, Lulu gets very upset. She does not like it when things don't go her way. So she takes matters into her own hands and storms off into the forest to find herself a new pet, all the way singing:
"I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, gonna, get
a bronto-bronto-bronto-bronto-saurus for a pet "
In the forest Lulu encounters a number of animals; a snake, a tiger, a bear, all of whom don't particularly impress her. And then she finds him...a beautiful, long-necked, gentle, graceful brontosaurus. And he completely agrees with Lulu that having a pet would be a wonderful thing, indeed Lulu thinks she's gotten her birthday wish at last. Until she realizes that Mr. Brontosaurus thinks that she would make an ideal pet for him
How will Lulu ever get out of this sticky situation without throwing a fit (Mr. B does not respond well to those), or using force (Mr. B is much to tall to bonk on the head with her suitcase), or smushing her pickle sandwich?
