Procedures for the Conduct of Research Degree Examination
The following Procedures and Notes are intended to guide Convenors and Chairs of Examining Boards, Examiners and Candidates through the process of the research degree examination and to underline the University's expectations of those involved.
Arrangements for the oral examination (viva voce) are overseen by the Convenor of the Examining Board who is the Head of School or another member of senior staff in the School to whom the Head had delegated this responsibility. (Where the Head of School is a Candidate's supervisor, s/he should not assume the role of Convenor or Chair.)
The Convenor should act as Chair to the Examining Board or ensure that another senior member of the School's staff is appointed to this role by the Head of School.
Composition of the Examining Board
Every Examining Board for a research degree shall comprise at least three members:-
The Chair
The Internal Examiner (see below)
The External Examiner (see below)
No person may assume more than one of the above roles.
The candidate's supervisor cannot act as Internal Examiner. The supervisor may, however, be invited to attend the oral examination. He/she may offer clarification to the Examining Board on a given matter, but only when called upon to do so.
The External Examiner shall be appointed in accordance with Cardiff University's Procedure for nominating and appointing External Examiners for research degrees.
A Head of School may appoint other appropriate persons to act as Advisory Examiners. Persons so appointed have no right to vote on the decision of the Board
'Staff Candidates'
An Examining Board for a Candidate who is, or who has been within the past 3 years, a member of staff at the grade of lecturer or above shall be constituted with a second external examiner in lieu of the internal examiner.
Choosing the External Examiner
The external examiner should possess specialist knowledge and expertise in the subject area of the research, and should normally:
- be experienced in research and have published;
- have experience of the UK research degree examination process, and particularly for the degree for which the thesis has been submitted;
- hold a research degree;
- hold/have held appointment within the university system at Senior Lecturer grade or above
In certain cases, it may be appropriate to appoint from outside the university sector, e.g. a leading industrialist, researcher or professional practitioner).
The external examiner should not have direct professional or personal knowledge of the candidate, and should not normally:
- be a former staff member of the University, unless at least five years have elapsed since retirement/resignation;
- be a former higher degree student of the school concerned, unless at least five years have elapsed since the date of her/his qualification;
- be invited, on a frequent basis, to examine research degrees in the same School.
The University is required by the UK Borders Agency (UKBA) Immigration Regulations (2008) to verify the right to work in the UK of any persons undertaking work at Cardiff University. As part of the examiner nomination process, Schools will be asked to confirm that nominated external examiners are eligible to work in the UK.
Choosing the Internal Examiner
The Internal Examiner this should
- be competent in the area of the work to be examined;
- be an experienced examiner or have received training for this role;
- be a non-probationary member of the academic or senior research staff;
- usually be appointed from within the School concerned, but may be appointed from another School of the University.
The role of the Convenor - arranging the oral examination
It is the responsibility the Convenor to make the practical arrangements for the oral examination and to confirm these, in writing, to the candidate and the members of the Examining Board.
The Convenor shall ensure that each Examiner is sent one copy of the thesis.
The Convenor shall ensure that the necessary forms and instructions for the conduct of the examination are provided to the Internal Examiner. (The Registry is responsible for sending the forms and instructions for the conduct of the examination, and the forms for payment to the External Examiner(s).)
The oral examination should normally take place within three calendar months of the date of submission of the thesis. If this is not possible, the Candidate should be kept informed on the progress being made to arrange the examination.
The oral examination requirement
Oral examinations are mandatory for research degree submissions. However, if the Examiners are in agreement, this requirement may be waived in the case of a re-submitted thesis which the Examiners agree meet the requirements of the intended award.
Purpose of the oral examination
The oral examination is an integral part of the research degree examination process; it is not merely a ritual. The oral examination may serve different purposes, according to Candidates' differing qualities but the essential purposes of the oral examination are:-
- to enable the Examiners to assure themselves that the thesis is the Candidate's own work;
- to enable the Examiners to assure themselves that the Candidate understands the research that s/he carried out and what s/he has written in the thesis;
- to give the Candidate an opportunity to defend the thesis and to clarify any obscurities or weaknesses in it; (this is particularly important in borderline cases);
- to enable the Examiners to assess the Candidate's ability to locate his/her work within the broader context of the particular field of learning to which the project relates;
- to enable the Examiners to explore how the thesis might be raised to the required standard should they be unable to recommend the award at this stage;
- to enable the Examiners and the Candidate to explore opportunities for publication.
Before the oral examination — the role of the Examiners
The Internal and External Examiner(s) are required independently to assess the thesis and each to prepare a written report on their reading of the work and to submit these to the Chair of the Examining Board before the oral examination takes place.
Immediately prior to the oral examination, the Examiners should arrange to confer with one another, in the presence of the Chair, in order to:-
· exchange copies of their independent reports (if this has not already been done);
· identify the issues to be raised in the examination;
· agree the broad strategy for the examination - who will ask which questions and in what order.
The conduct of the oral examination
The oral examination should take place at Cardiff. (The permission of the Chair of the Graduate Development Committee must be sought if it is proposed to hold the examination elsewhere.)
The oral examination should take place on a face-to-face basis, with all concerned present in the same room, at the same time. Notwithstanding this expectation, it is recognised that it may be necessary - under very exceptional conditions - for arrangements to be made for examinations to take place through electronic media. Accordingly, the Graduate Development Committee is empowered to give approval to requests that electronic media may be used, in exceptional circumstances. (See Cardiff University Procedure for Examination by Electronic Means')
An examination may not proceed without all the appointed Examiners being present. In the event of an Examiner's unexpected illness, the examination must be postponed to another date.
The Convenor should arrange for a comfortable room to be set aside, in a quiet and 'neutral' location.
The duties and responsibilities of the Chair
The Chair should greet the Candidate on arrival and introduce him/her to the Examiners.
The Chair should take care to put the candidate at ease and explain the form that the examination will take, as already agreed by the Examiners.
The Chair is responsible to the Vice-Chancellor for the conduct of the examination. It is his/her responsibility to see that the oral examination is fair and that due process is followed.
The Chair should not allow a candidate to be apprised of the likely result at the outset of the oral examination. To do so would be to deny one of the primary purposes of the examination - to confirm that the thesis is the candidate's own work. Such practice is also unfair to other candidates who are given no such reassurance at the outset of their examinations.
The Chair should be fully conversant with the Regulations governing the award of the relevant degree, in order to be able to advise the Examiners, as required.
The Chair should ensure that each of the Examiners has proper opportunity to contribute to the examination process.
The Chair should ensure that the questioning of the Candidate is not allowed to become aggressive.
The Chair must remain present throughout the oral examination.
The Chair should allow the oral examination to run for as long as may be necessary for it to serve its proper purpose.
A supervisor, should s/he be present, must be asked to withdraw before the Candidate so as to provide the Candidate with an opportunity to say anything to the Examiners that he/she would prefer to say without the supervisor being present.
The Candidate must be asked to withdraw before the Examiners begin their final deliberations.
The Chair is responsible for seeing that the formal documentation is properly completed once the oral examination has been held (see below).
Criteria for the award of research degrees
For Cardiff University awards, the following criteria apply:
Doctoral level awards — PhD (including PhD by Published Works), MD, MCh, EngD and Professional Doctorates (DClinPsy, DEdPsy, EdD,DSW, DHS)
The degree of doctor may be awarded by the University in recognition of the successful completion of a programme of further study and research, the results of which are judged to constitute an original contribution to learning and to give evidence of:
- the creation and interpretation of new knowledge, through original research, of a quality to satisfy peer review, extend the forefront of the discipline and merit publication;
2. a systematic acquisition and understanding of a substantial body of knowledge which is at the forefront of an academic discipline or area of professional practice;
3. an ability to relate the results of such study to the general body of knowledge in the discipline;
4. the general ability to conceptualise, design and implement a project for the generation of new knowledge, applications or understanding at the forefront of the discipline, and to adjust the project design in the light of unforeseen problems;
5. a detailed understanding of applicable techniques for research and advanced academic enquiry.
In respect of the award of MD or MCh, the results of the study and research shall be judged to constitute an original contribution to medical or surgical knowledge, and shall afford evidence of originality either by the discovery of new facts or by the exercise of independent critical power. The candidate shall indicate in what respects the thesis appears to advance clinical knowledge and/or practice.
Master's level awards — MPhil, MScD by Research
The degree of MPhil/MScD (by Research) may be awarded by the University in recognition of the successful completion of a programme of further study and research, the results of which are judged to constitute a critical evaluation and analysis of a body of knowledge and/or an original contribution to knowledge, and to give evidence of:
.1 a systematic understanding of knowledge, and a critical awareness of current problems and/or new insights, much of which is at, or informed by, the forefront of the academic discipline, field of study, or area of professional practice;
.2 a comprehensive understanding of techniques applicable to the research or advanced scholarship;
.3 originality in the application of knowledge, together with a practical understanding of how established techniques of research and enquiry are used to create and interpret knowledge in the discipline;
.4 conceptual understanding that enables;
- the critical evaluation of current research and advanced scholarship in the discipline; and
- the evaluation of methodologies, the development of critiques of them and, where appropriate, the proposal of new hypotheses.
In judging the merit of a thesis submitted in candidature for any research degree, the Examiners shall bear in mind the standard and scope of work which it is reasonable to expect a capable and diligent student to present after the period of registered full-time or part-time study.
The text of a PhD or EngD thesis should not normally exceed 80,000 words (excluding bibliographies and appendices).
The text of a MPhil, MScD by Research, MD or MCh thesis should not normally exceed 50,000 words (excluding bibliographies and appendices).
The word length for the text of a Professional Doctorate thesis is stipulated in separate programme regulations.
Decisions open to Examiners following oral examination
Examiners should judge whether:
the work meets the criteria stipulated for the award (see above)
the thesis is presented in a lucid and scholarly manner;
the thesis has been submitted in the form prescribed by University Regulations;
the Candidate has presented a satisfactory abstract of their thesis.
The Examiners should then reach one of the following decisions:
- Pass - recommend the award for which the thesis has been submitted
- Pass Subject to Minor Corrections - recommend that the candidate be approved for the award subject to the satisfactory completion of such minor corrections as may be required by the Examining Board. Such minor corrections shall be completed within twelve weeks of the Examining Board. The Examining Board may stipulate that the minor corrections made shall be scrutinised by either/both examiner(s) prior to the award process being initiated.
- Pass Subject to Corrections and Amendments- recommend the award for which the thesis has been submitted - subject to such corrections and amendments as may be required by the Examining Board. Corrections and amendments shall be completed within a period of twelve weeks. The Examining Board may stipulate that the corrections made shall be scrutinised by either/both Examiner(s) prior to the award process being initiated.
- Not to recommend the award.
Where the Examiners are not wholly satisfied that the thesis has met the criteria for the award, they may recommend[1]:
- that the Candidate is not approved for the degree but is allowed to modify the thesis and re-submit it for the intended award on one further occasion, upon payment of a re-submission fee. The re-submission shall take place within a period not exceeding one year from the date of the official notification to the Candidate of the outcome of the examination;
- that the Candidate is not approved for the award for which they have submitted the thesis, but be is recommended for a lesser degree (e.g. MPhil — as stipulated on the Results paperwork)[2];
- that the Candidate is not approved for the degree but is allowed to modify the thesis and re-submit it for a lesser degree on one further occasion, upon payment of the examination fee The re-submission shall take place within a period not exceeding one year from the date of the official notification to the Candidate of the outcome of the examination;
- that the Candidate is not approved for the award of a degree.
Further guidance on the available decisions can be found in the University's Notes for External and Internal Examiners and for Convenors and Chairs of Examining Boards attached to the Examiners' Report and Result Forms.
Suspicion of unfair practice shall be investigated in accordance with Cardiff University's 'Academic Integrity in Research Degree Study' Procedure.
Completing the oral examination
Once the Examiners have concluded their deliberations and agreed a recommendation, the Candidate should be invited back into the examination room and informed of the outcome of the examination.
If the Candidate has not been successful on this occasion, the Chair should advise him/her that he/she will, in due course, receive a written statement of the deficiencies of the thesis to assist him/her in the revision of the work.
At the conclusion of the oral examination, the Examiners should agree upon, and sign, a joint report on this part of the examination, including the 'Decision Sheet' which must be countersigned by the Chair. This should be copied immediately to the Registry so that official notification can be issued to the Candidate of the result and of any deadline for the completion of corrections or resubmission.
After the oral examination
As soon as a successful candidate has made any changes to the thesis deemed necessary by the Examining Board and presented two copies of the finished thesis for deposit in the appropriate Libraries; or immediately after an unsuccessful examination, the Convenor should despatch the following documents to the Registry under cover of the appropriate proforma:
· the original Decision Sheet, signed and dated by the Examiners and countersigned by the Chair of the Examining Board, showing clearly the decision reached by the Examining Board, together with:
· the External Examiner's Report, signed and dated
· the Internal Examiner's Report, signed and dated
· the External Examiner's Report on the Candidate's performance in the oral examination, signed and dated
- the Examiners' Joint Report, signed and dated.
Written advice to candidates not recommended for the award but permitted to resubmit
Where the Examiners do not recommend the award of a research degree, then the Chair or Convenor shall provide the Candidate with a written statement of the deficiencies of the thesis.
This statement shall be agreed by the Examiners before being given to the Candidate.
A copy of this statement shall be given to the Candidate's supervisor(s).
The Data Protection Act provides that all candidates have the right to request access to any comments or reports made about them, including those made in the context of the examination.
Examiners' disputes
If the rare event that the Examiners are unable to reach agreement over the outcome of a research degree examination, no decision must be recorded. The Chair of the Examining Board should write via the Registry, to the Chair or the Graduate Development Committee giving a clear account of the disagreement. The Chair or the Graduate Development Committee shall make appropriate arrangements for arbitration. The Examiners Reports should accompany this request.
If an Arbitrating Examiner is appointed, s/he may require the Candidate to undergo a further oral examination.
Examination of re-submitted works
In the case of candidates re-submitting a thesis for further examination, the original Examining Board should be re-constituted.
If the Examiners are satisfied that the re-submitted work meets the criteria for the award of the degree for which it is being presented, it is open to them to waive the oral examination requirement on this occasion.
The documentation should be completed by the members of the re-constituted Examining Board as above (with the exception of the Report on the performance at the oral examination if this has been waived), and the Convenor should forward it to the Registry, as normal.
Appeals by Candidates against decisions of research degree Examining Boards
A candidate who is not recommended for the award of the degree for which he/she submitted, may appeal against the decision reached by the Examining Board, on the following grounds only:
(a) procedural irregularities in the conduct of the examination;
(b) exceptional circumstances affecting the candidate's performance, of which the Examiners were not aware;
(c) evidence of prejudice/bias/inadequate assessment on the part of one or more of the Examiners;
(d) inadequacy of supervision, in which case there must be exceptional reasons why the Candidate did not report this prior to the decision of the Examining Board.
The grounds for appeal are fully described in the Cardiff University Appeals Procedure (Postgraduate Research Degrees).
Appeals which question the academic judgement of the Examiners shall not be admissible.
Additional notes for Candidates
In addition to the notes above, Candidates may find the following guidance useful.
Identifying an External Examiner
If you are a research degree Candidate you should be prepared to discuss with your supervisor the possible choice of an External Examiner. Your supervisor will approach the Head of your School (or designated nominee) with the name(s) of the people who might be asked to act as External Examiner in your case. The formal responsibility for nominating External Examiners rests with your Head of School. Once someone has indicated a willingness to act as External Examiner, your Head of School will then formally recommend the appointment to the University.
Arrangements for the oral examination
The University's normal expectation is that an oral examination should take place within three calendar months of the date of a thesis having been submitted. A number of constraints influence the length of time you might have to wait after submitting your thesis; the timing of your oral examination will depend very much on the availability of the chosen External Examiner and your own circumstances at the time of submission.
If there is a delay in arranging the oral examination, your School should keep you informed of progress - even if that date that gets fixed is some considerable time away.
In any event, the University requires that your examination be held within twelve months of the date of submission, unless there are highly exceptional circumstances.
Preparing yourself for the oral examination
As part of your training as a research student, you will have been encouraged to write and speak about your work and to give presentations to your fellow students and staff — within your School are at events organised by the Graduate Schools or Graduate Centre. You may also have presented papers at conferences. You may have observed 'staged' vivas, enacted by staff or other students, and your progress throughout the course of your research programme may be been assessed via a 'mock' viva. These activities are all part of the preparation to defend your thesis.
Use the interval between the submission of your thesis and the date of your oral examination to stay in touch with your research material and to keep up with developments and publications in the field to which your project relates. Remember that one of the purposes of the oral examination is to establish your ability to locate your work within your chosen subject area.
Be prepared to be able to summarise your main arguments and to explain your choice of approach and methodology. Ask your supervisor for guidance concerning the questions that your Examiners are likely to ask.
How to conduct yourself at the oral examination
Your Examiners will understand if you are nervous at the outset, and they will make every effort to put you at your ease.
If one of your Examiners asks a question that you do not understand, do not be afraid to ask for clarification, or to ask him/her to re-phrase the question. If you are unable to answer a question, then say so.
Length of oral examination
It is a duty of the Chair to ensure that the oral examinations run for as long as may be necessary for it to serve its proper purpose. Most take between 2 and 3 hours, but some take less and some take more time.

Hey everyone,
I've been messing around with Fire Pro Returns again, and while it is a great game for simming/custom wrestlers, it's less enjoyable to actually play. Notice I said less, and not completely joyless. I find that if I play, the characters all feel the same. I know that's mainly because I'm using the same playstyle, I'm not thinking about off the rope planchas and such, so it all feels very stiff and formulaic.
So, two questions:
1) Any suggestions for how to 'play better'? How do you guys play when you actually play the game?
2) What is the most enjoyable wrestling game to actually play? At least in your opinions.

Dean Lynn Harold Hough of Drew Divinity School was riding on a train some years back, reading Greek tragedies. He came across the story of a god who fell in love with a maiden, and came to visit her. But the god found that she had been in an accident, and was lying beside the road in a pool of blood. The god was repulsed at the sight of blood, and immediately winged his way back to Mt. Olympus, where he could contemplate the human situation.
A god afraid of human suffering. Dean Hough said that he looked out of the train window, watching the telephone poles pass by in the form of crosses...and could not help but contrast the two: the pagan and the Christian faith. Then he remembered the words of a familiar hymn: "There is a green hill far away, Beyond the city wall; Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all." Our God is not afraid of human suffering. He's been there. He's not afraid of blood. He's shed some Himself. In Marc Connelly's play GREEN PASTURES the Lord says: "Even bein' God ain't a bed of roses!"
Christmas is a great season of joy and celebration. Yet, Christ comes to bring us hope as we face the challenges of this world.

I have now owned this box for 4 months. This has been the best item I've ever purchased from Harbor Freight.This is a large box, the quality is almost on par with some of the big name professional boxes... the difference being that I could own 4 of these for what would fetch me a big name (off the truck) box. The few things I notice when side by side with the professional boxes... this one has a few more rattles and squeaks. Thats it. And there is no big heavy steel top that you can buy for it. (A 3/4 inch sheet of plywood will do the trick though)I got this home in the back of my truck... its a good 400+ lbs. 5 guys (including myself) pulled this out and into my driveway. A week after loading it with tools I was informed that I was losing the lease on my rental house... now I would have to move it!!!! No worries:I was able to remove the drawers after pulling the heaviest of they heavy out of them. Without drawers, it was easy to pull up the ramp into my enclosed trailer and tie down. I moved it to my new place, and re-assembled it without needing to call a buddy.In short: Great box, built very well and don't worry about having to move it to a new house... worry about your new neighbors seeing it and realizing you have tools they want to borrow.

I am an aircraft technician and have been working on corporate jets for 33 years. I just got the box yesterday. Surprised at how quickly I received it. After opening and unpacking I gave it a good once over for damage. When checking out the casters, I noticed some were not tighten down. When trying to tighten the caster attachment bolts found four of the sixteen bolts were cross threaded and wouldn't tighten down. Will see if the threads on the box were damaged, probably are. The threads on the bolts were completely gone. My only conclusion was they must have used power tools and did not start by hand threading them in first. Now I have a new box that I have to jury rig. Very disappointed. With that said the box appears to be well constructed. We will see. For the price you can't beat it. They just need to kick up their quality control a few notches.

very good box for the right price
By luis viayrada

About Me Professional
Comments about U.S. General Pro Roller Cabinet, 56", 11 Drawer Industrial:
I have nothing but good things to say about this tool box. I have owned mine for about 5 years. Recently one of the top drawer sliders gave out and needs to be replaced. I probably over loaded the drawer and have never lubed/maintenance the sliders. I suggest to lube them with lithium grease periodically. The part is only about $20-$30 . Other than that the box has been good to me. They finally came out with the top chest which is great. Next they need to come up with a top hutch option. Either a top chest or top hutch with electrical outlets and a florescent/led light.Bottom line is I would buy this box again.

Solid Manufacturing With all the Bells
By Big Bad Dad
from Bellingham Washington
A great cabinet for the price. For me and my needs it should be a little bit bigger. A top box would sacrifice surface area. It would be nice to add a sizable side box. The drawers are very solid when loaded, they don't wobble when heavy loaded. Roller slides on the drawers make it very easy to open and close when loaded heavy. All and all a very usable box that holds a lot of tools.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I seen this box in the store one time and after opening the drawers and feeling how solid everything was i couldnt stop thinking about it after i left the store. I immediately put my 2 junky c-man tool boxes for sale. After selling them i rushed to the store to buy this. I was impressed with how well it was crated up. Took me and 4 other people to unload it off my friends truck. I can put so much in the drawers. I will put this box up against any other box that is thousands more.Have help to unload this thing!!Still not sure what the 4 extra bolts that came with it are for tho!! 4 were for the handles and im lost as to what the other ones are for...oh well

from Rhode Island
So lets be honest. Just because its Harbor Freight doesn't mean it will break or set you on fire. This box is comparable to any of the ones out there. I have the 42" box and countless other HF tools mixed in. I am a happy customer. Having 2 stores within 15mins of me is also great when you gotta run out and grab something.

I have been looking for the right toolbox for some time and refused to get hauled in by the "truck" brands at outrageous prices. This offers all of the space I need and more to organize and use my tools efficiently. The value and quality are outstanding. I have been working on aircraft for 20 years and would recommend this unit for any level mechanic.

excellent bang for buck
By Ranger
from El Paso, TX (Ft. Bliss)
i just got this box 2 days ago. I came very well packaged. I thought I would have some assembly, but after uncrating it. I had nothing to assemble. I was all done. Except for the end bars ( which took all of 5 minutes to install both). I had guys that owned equivilent boxes from Matco and SnapOn come up look at it..and walk away shaking their heads at the money I saved vs. theirs..they loved the box, its contruction, as well as storage space. the only thing I will say negative and this in no way effects the quility of box, but all other US General boxes have nice hard cut to fit pads in them.This one came with none slip rolls that need to be cut, from same material I lay in my kitchen cabinets....the box itself it EXCELLENT. DO NOT HESITATE gettin this box if its what you need...wish the made the top box or hutch for it...oh well...oh, and the girls that run the register at the El Paso store , need retraining in customer service...spent 2k and didnt even get a thank you, and that was after I was supposed to go and get the skew number for her on the box I wanted..The guy that helped me load the box was so apolgitic the whole time

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on the passing of original Mercury astronaut Malcom Scott Carpenter from complications following a stroke. Carpenter, who was the second American to orbit the Earth in 1962, was 88.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO)
"Today, the world mourns the passing of Scott Carpenter. As one of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, he was in the first vanguard of our space program -- the pioneers who set the tone for our nation's pioneering efforts beyond Earth and accomplished so much for our nation.
"Scott served his nation first in the U.S. Navy, and he later pioneered underwater missions that also helped us learn about operating in space. When he became the second American to orbit the Earth, he completed his mission despite challenging circumstances. We knew then that not only did America have what it took technologically, but our entire astronaut corps would be able to face the challenges ahead that would lead us to the moon and living and working in space.
"After his spaceflights, Scott helped design the Apollo Lunar Landing Module and was active in underwater training of astronauts for spacewalks. His accomplishments truly helped our nation progress in space from the earliest days to the world leadership we enjoy today. We will miss his passion, his talent and his lifelong commitment to exploration."

Iv'e tried em all, the Avent, Born Free, Playtex Ventair, Gerber Nuk, Mam bottles and more, but Nothing and I do mean NOTHING has compared to these. My son gets gas and a lot of air with the other mentioned bottles, but since I quit using the others and am now exclusively using the Dr. Brown's he's so much happier and so am I. They don't leak at all, if you don't fill above the warning line and assemble them correctly! I don't understand other reviewers complaints about leaking- maybe they aren't doing it right, and as far as washing is concerned... Don't you want the best for your baby, because I do and no amount of washing of bottles can be compared to that of an uncomfortable baby!!! The best investment you can make is a happy gas free, spit up free baby is these bottles! If your'e still having a problem with gas, then maybe it's the formula you are using not the bottle. Only the best will do for my baby, how about you?

My child has been using bottles since day one. We use them for both pumped milk and for supplemented formula daily. My lactation consultant said that to switch back and forth between breast and bottle, she suggested using wide mouthed bottles which are more like the mother's breast. I went out and bought Dr. Browns BPA free and Born Free bottles. I think that both bottles have pros and cons.CONS1. Dr. Browns and Born Free each say that they decrease air during feeding. My child isn't particularly gassy and doesn't really burp much, but still gets gas so neither bottle really solves the problem 100%. Neither seems to be better than the other either. Compared to my experience with Green to Grow and Avent bottles both Dr. Browns and Born Free are better with gas.2. People complain about the parts for both bottles. Dr. Browns requires a little brush to work, or as others have said, you can throw it into the dishwasher. Born Free bottles have two additional pieces as well but they are much easier to clean. During the first month home I was nursing and bottle feeding in 2 hr cycles. By the time I was done with this cycle, I needed to go wash pump parts and bottles and start over again. I didn't want to run the dishwasher all of the time and I wanted to avoid purchasing a million bottles so I had 3 of each kind. As a result, we did a lot of bottle washings. I didn't mind pulling out the little brush for the Dr. Browns bottles but at 3am, it did become a little bit of a pain. My husband would say, the fewer parts the better. If it were up to him he would toss all of the Dr. Browns bottles. If husbands are helping with the wash duty, this might be a consideration.3. When filling the Dr. Browns bottles with formula, if I don't clean the bottles after feeding (just the bottle part) the formula seems to be more difficult to get off then the Born Free. I believe that is because of the two different materials used for the bottles. The Dr. Browns bottles use a plastic that is more like a thick #6 plastic like you would get your soup in from the local deli. The Born Free bottles are more like an old Nalgene plastic but thinner and lighter. In my opinion, the Born Free bottle cleans easier. If you want specifics about the two types of plastics, go to the following link comparison chart: [@] I've had both types of bottles for almost 4 months. I also have one small BPA Dr. Brown's bottle where the plastic is different than the BPA Free version. I have to say that after 4 months, one of my 3 BPA Free Dr. Brown's bottles is leaking. It hasn't always been this way and it's not due to too much liquid since I never have more than 4 oz in an 8 oz. bottle. I don't have this problem with the other two bottles yet and may never and I've never had this problem with the Born Free bottles or the BPA Dr. Browns bottle. I do believe it's because of the material used with the Dr. Browns bottle and I normally would think that it's just a fluke but I've read that many others have had the same problem. The liquid comes out from under the ring where the ring meets the bottle.5. Born Free Bottles are more expensive. This is true. But this con I believe is also a pro. See the pro section below.NEUTRAL1. Both bottles use the same nipples, at least that is what it appears to me and are often confused when re-assembling bottles. The nipples are fine, no complaints.2. Both tops on the bottles are o.k. The Dr. Browns bottle has three little holes in the top. I'm not sure why that is but there's got to be a reason. I just worry that by storing a pre-assembled bottle in the fridge (without the little white disk) that the milk or formula will take on the smells from the fridge. I just use the white disks to avoid a possible prob.PROS1. Both bottles are quality bottles and are available at many stores in case you need parts.2. If you like a lighter feeling bottle then go with Dr. Browns. If you like a little heavier feeling bottle go with Born Free (there's something for everyone out there)! If neither bottle weight works for you, go with the glass bottles that both have.3. Both bottles are available in wide neck. Dr. Browns is also available in standard width.4. Born Free bottles can be converted into a drinking cup. If you're like me and want to make sure that everything gets used to the max, no waste, then Born Free bottles are for you. Though they're more money initially, they even out when you realize that you can convert them to training cups and drinking cups. [...] I just really love using something to its fullest and not having to have a million bottles and cups lying around.5. If you want to pump right into the bottle, I don't know about Dr. Browns wide necks but Born Free Bottles have an adaptor available on their website to allow you to do this. I can't speak to it.All in all, neither bottle is perfect. One is more expensive but can be converted and has fewer parts to clean but replacement parts are more expensive. The other is less expensive but seems to leak for some people, has more parts to clean but replacement parts are cheaper. I always tell friends, don't buy too many bottles initially because you don't know what will work for you. These are the two that we use and we like them both but neither is perfect.

Comments about Handi Craft Dr. Brown's Wide Polypropylene Bottles 3-Pack - 8 oz:
Even when my son is at his hungriest the nipples never collapse and he has never had colic with these bottles. The cleaning of the little pieces is a bit of a pain but well worth it.

Best bottle choice
By Sassy my 1st baby
from Lubbock, TX
About Me First Time Parent
Love the wide mouth Dr Browns bottles, I has bought the gift set for my first born and liked them so much I went and got a three pack as well. Both sets included all the pieces and also cleaning bridges for the insert. It's a great product for breastmilk and or formula. Only thing I would say negative is of you are heating up a bottle with the lid on and it gets too hot the pressure causes the blue insert to pull milk up into straw and may cause spills; however if you remove the lid the milk goes back down. Over all a good bottle makes for a happy baby.

Best Bottles!!
By CR
from New York
These bottles are by far the best for preventing gas. I have seen a big difference in my little one since using these bottles exclusively. I have tried all different bottles- Avent, Playtex, Medela and I was still dealing with a baby screaming in pain. Now you won't completely eliminate gas problems but you will see a big improvement in the number of episodes your little one suffers from. There are several pieces to clean but it is not a big deal. It's worth it in the end!!
Great product!
By Katie
from Boston, MA
We transitioned from the smaller Dr. Brown's wide bottles to these and they have worked well. It's also nice to be able to use the same bottle pieces (e.g., nipples) from the smaller bottles. Great product overall.
Love it. I would buy it over and over.
By Yass17
from Asbury Park, NJ
I being using it since 2012. Love it, it help my son with his gas and constipation problems. I have never had that problem again since I stared to used it. I know used it with my youngest daughter as well. I will never user any other bottle. Not to mention that is easy to used, safe for my kids, durable and affordable.
Too wide
By Thegoodwife

The bottles are Wonderful!! I started using the regular (slender) bottles. I decided to purchase more and tried the wider bottles. Big mistake! The bottles are wide and cute however the nipple change was exlarge. I shud hav known better but sometimes I like to try new things! So the slender sleek bottle is preferred by my daughter and I. And We love the pink/ purple colors now!!!

I am rating this based on a friend's recommendation. She said these bottles were life savers to them. They really helped with gas and digestion. I will update once I've used them for myself.

Posted by Misha Henckel
This past year, I've attended my fair share of funerals – two, this past week alone. Quite unusual for me. I remember losing my paternal grandparents within six months of each other, back when I was nine, but until recently, this has been a new kind of experience for me.
I am a big cry baby – I cry at the drop of a hat – in the movie theatre, listening to a song in my car, or even watching the news. My kids are sick of me. But I can't help it. What "gets" me, is deep human feeling. Pain, love, sadness, joy, just hook me in the heart.
You might think then, at funerals I would be one wet, sappy, mess. But truth is, I only, occasionally, cry at funerals, and it's never for the great things someone has accomplished (I know I'm not alone here) – how many buildings they built, how tireless an activist they were, or how many lives they saved. It's always when their true loved one is speaking about them. Isn't it? A son about his father, a wife about her husband, a friend about a dear friend, it's about – love and true connection, patience and understanding, unconditional acceptance, true friendship and loyalty.
While it is undoubtedly important that we accomplish the big things in life (our souls, after all, may simply be driven in a particular way) I feel there is something of deep significance here.
Listening to a eulogy, it can become clear. There is the idea of our life – what we believe we are doing, what we intend to be doing, what we would like to be doing; and then there is the reality – what we really are doing, and what we are in fact creating. And it seems to me that we spend so much time absorbed with the "idea", we are often blinded to the "fact."
When we live, we create an energetic imprint (of whatever degree) on the world and on those whose lives we touch. The deepest imprint, naturally, is made on those truly close to us. The people closest to us (in physical proximity and in spirit) experience us as we really are. They feel the energy we carry, from moment to moment; they are intimately acquainted with our choices of emotion, the habit-patterns we inhabit, and the sides of ourselves that we hesitate to share with our wider circles.
Sitting in the chapel at Hillside Memorial this Sunday, I was pondering: What imprint am I really making on those I care about? How can I actually be a force for good in the lives of those closest to me? What does true love (versus the usual conditional sort) look like from day to day? How does one unconditionally accept another? And what about loyalty, what is true loyalty?
How do I ensure that my life does mean good things to those that I love? Being all things to all people is neither possible nor desirable. Then what is the answer? It's not about pleasing others to make them happy, that can have most destructive consequences to both parties. It's not about spending one's time looking for ways to "help" the people you love. You'd likely drive them crazy or drive them away.
I concluded, that I must first be true to myself, loyal to myself, loving to myself (when I say self I mean higher self). Only then, would I be able to bring those qualities to others. Why? Because love, acceptance, and loyalty are, first, and fundamentally, energy. For the quality to be real for others it has to come from within me. For the quality to be within me, it has to be the way that I am already (to some meaningful degree) treating myself. When we really love ourselves (who we really are in our essence) we can and will love others. If we do not love ourselves, we are not equipped with the love we need to "love" another. If we are not accepting of ourselves (faults, weaknesses and all) we cannot really be accepting of another. Similarly, if we are not loyal to ourselves, we cannot be loyal to another.
The way I want to treat others, I must first treat myself. Duh! Like fundamental law of the Universe. And it so goes against the grain of how we've been trained.
Remarkable, the things you can learn at a funeral…

New law clears the way for gay marriage in NY
By Kyle Norris
Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed New York's gay marriage bill, starting what is expected to be a crush of gay weddings beginning in 30 days.
State lawmakers narrowly voted to legalize same-sex marriage last night, handing activists a breakthrough victory in the state where the gay rights movement was born. At New York City's famous Stonewall Inn that spawned the gay rights movement in 1969, Scott Redstone watched lawmakers pass a historic gay marriage measure Friday night on one of the many Internet and television feeds. He was with his partner of 29 years, and popped the question.
New York becomes the sixth state where gay couples can wed and the biggest by far.
